Starting point is 00:00:00 All right, what's up, everybody? Welcome to FFT Express. Let's get those lineups set for week seven. Good morning. Good Sunday morning to you.

I'm Adam Azer with Heath Cummings. Let's do it. Russell Wilson is in line to start tonight against the Jets. I'm Adam Azer with Heath Cummings. Let's do it. Russell Wilson is in line to start tonight against the Jets. Your thoughts?

Starting point is 00:00:27 I am more optimistic about George Pickens. I am more optimistic about Pat Fryermuth. I am not super excited about starting Russell Wilson in any format. This is a terrible, tough spot. I would not be dropping Justin Fields if I was you. Let's see if Russ gets through this game first.

Starting point is 00:00:43 Okay. If I were you, is that me? Yes. Okay. Fair enough. Mason Rudolph is set to start, and we've got an injury on. It could be a couple weeks here. They want to get Calvin Ridley involved. Should we go pick up Calvin Ridley or DeAndre Hopkins? I don't think that Calvin Ridley should be on the waiver wire. So, yeah.

Starting point is 00:01:06 If for some reason he got dropped, I'm not sure what his start percentage is, or his roster percentage. I assume it's still really, really high. But if Calvin Ridley is somehow available out in your league, I would pick him up. He's rostered in 73% of leagues. And just see. I don't have a lot of hope in DeAndre Hopkins.

Starting point is 00:01:27 Okay. And Tua could play next week, which is great news. Ramondre Stevenson, let's talk about the London game. Ramondre Stevenson is going to play and Travis Etienne is not. So how do you break down the running backs in Jacksonville versus New England? Nobody's a must start. Despite the fact that I'm not sure either one of these defenses are any good. I'm sure somebody's going to be great. I would rank them Ramondre, followed by Tank, followed by Dearness, followed by Antonio Gibson. And Ramondre's right around RB24. Tank's just a couple spots behind that. And Dearness and Gibson are more like your desperate place.

Starting point is 00:02:08 Would you start Ramondre Stevenson or a guy like Juju Smith-Schuster? I think in full PPR, I'd go Juju. And everything else, I'd go Ramondre. All right. Ken Walker is questionable with an illness. Really not much to say here. You just wait for the inactives. And let's see. That game is at 1 o'clock.

Starting point is 00:02:27 So you'll know what to do. If he plays, you play him. If not, Charbonnet. Aaron Jones is expected to play. Where do you have him ranked against the Lions? A little bit higher than I do Ramondre Stevenson. Optimistic about what Jones could potentially do in the passing game. He is a mid-range RB2.

Starting point is 00:02:50 Okay. And someone's asking Stevenson or Trey Sermon. We're definitely going Stevenson, right? I would go Stevenson over Trey Sermon, but they're not that far apart. Okay. And I just have concerns that Goodson's going to get more work than Sermon, who's been really bad. But it's such an enticing matchup, so I get it, and Jonathan Taylor is out.

Starting point is 00:03:09 Nick Chubb is in, however, against the Bengals. Start or sit Nick Chubb? I'm expecting him. This is a real complete mystery, and Robert Turbin did say, a lot of people you've got to ease back in. You don't have to ease Nick Chubb back in, so he's expecting a great day from Chubb today i'm a little bit more cautious uh he's one spot behind stevenson i would prefer to start aaron jones i would start chubb over charbonnet or not charbonnet

Starting point is 00:03:37 i would start chubb over sermon i would start him over bixby okay and we're pretty much done with the running back news that brian robinson Jr. is expected to play against Carolina. Is this a must-start situation? It's the closest thing we've talked to yet to a must-start situation. I've got him one spot ahead of Aaron Jones. I mean, there were a couple of guys earlier in the week that we weren't sure if they were playing, and it's just like my running back two rankings are all of those guys.

Starting point is 00:04:03 Jordan Mason, then James cook, then Brian Robinson, then Aaron Jones. Um, and then Stevenson and chubber behind those guys. So Mason off the injury report. So he's going to play against the chiefs and you, you don't have them as high as you usually do.

Starting point is 00:04:15 Then he's not a top 12 running back, but he's very, very close word about the shoulder or in the match. It's a terrible matchup. Yeah. Yeah. I'm a little worried about the shoulder just seeing him come back in and then leave last week all right we got a lot of wide

Starting point is 00:04:29 receiver news for you here we'll talk about the pate the uh colts passing game and cooper cup and more when we come back on fantasy football today express did you know that across ontario utility damage happens 19 times a day that's over over 4,222 incidents a year. Don't let your next dig be one that causes costly delays or safety risks. Before you break ground, make it a point to request a locate. It's not just the law. It's a step to keep your team and community safe. Visit OntarioOneCall.ca and avoid unnecessary damages to get the job done right.

Starting point is 00:05:04 Data sourced from the ORCGA 2023 Dirt Report. All right, so let's finish up here. Everyone in the Colts passing game is playing. Anthony Richardson is starting. Alec Pierce, Michael Pittman, Josh Downs, they're all playing. They're facing the Dolphins. They've actually been really good against the pass, but no Javon Holland. Who are you starting in the passing game for the Colts?

Starting point is 00:05:25 Richardson is a borderline top 12 quarterback. So probably maybe the most interesting of the group. I would start him ahead of Kyler Murray. I would start him ahead of Aaron Rodgers and Geno Smith and Trevor Lawrence. I'd start him ahead of Kirk Cousins, but I'm not as excited about Kirk Cousins as Dave and Jamie are as for the pass catchers Josh Downs is my favorite he's a borderline number two and full PPR right around wide receiver 24 I'm a little bit more skeptical of Michael Pittman I don't want to start Alec Pierce okay Mike Evans is going to play so start your bucks Cooper Cup is unlikely to play but he hasn't been ruled out yet but Jordan Whittington is going to play, so start your bucks. Cooper Cup is unlikely to play, but he hasn't been ruled out yet. But Jordan Whittington is expected to play. So you've got Whittington and Atwell,

Starting point is 00:06:09 who have been double-digit PPR fantasy points for Atwell three games in a row. For Whittington, two games in a row. If you're in a pinch, Cooper Cup unlikely to play, so you can go to those guys. Marvin Harrison Jr., this is the big news. Marvin Harrison Jr. has cleared the concussion protocol. He's going to playay night against las vegas start kyler start marvin what do you think i i've got kyler one spot behind richardson i think he's

Starting point is 00:06:32 qb 13 for me which i believe is the highest dave and jamie are are pretty much out on him this week so i'm i feel fine about starting kyler i would start him again over cousins over rogers over lawrence uh harrison is a number two wide receiver. You're probably starting on. Juju's expected to play and Deontay Johnson is expected to play. Is Deontay a number one wide receiver? I do have Deontay just barely inside of my top 12 and Juju is closer to 24. All right.

Starting point is 00:06:59 Some questions here. Kyler Murray or Sam Darnold? Sam Darnold is a top five quarterback sam darnold kyler murray or geno smith i've got kyler one spot ahead but they're close enough to flip a coin if you want to drake may or jared goff i'm going with jared goff okay uh tucker craft or david nojoku ppr uh wow this one is, you guys are just like, ask me back-to-back guys in my rankings over and over. Currently, I have Tucker Kraft one spot ahead of Njoku.

Starting point is 00:07:32 Pick two in PPR. Devontae Adams, Devon A. Chan, Kareem Hunt. I would sit Kareem Hunt. I am Steve says, was there a Ken Walker update? He's got an illness. He plays at 1 o'clock. You know what to do if he's active. You know what to do if he's inactive.

Starting point is 00:07:48 Waddle or Ridley in the flex. I'll go with Waddle. Sit one in PPR. Garrett Wilson, T Higgins, Debo Samuel, David Montgomery. I would sit Debo. Juju, Laporta or Irving. Give me Juju. I don't... I have no idea what

Starting point is 00:08:10 to think of the Tampa Bay running backs. Literally expecting all three of them to get a series in the first half. And I mean, you just... Desperation flexes. Yeah, it's kind of a bummer, and it's a horrible matchup, too. Kyler or Russell Wilson.

Starting point is 00:08:27 Kyler. Liggett or Mostert. PPR. Mostert. Bigsby, Mooney or Mason. Half PPR. I'm going with Jordan Mason there. It's been Mooney Mason.

Starting point is 00:08:39 OK. Evans or Juju. I these guys that have come off the injury report, I'm assuming they're fine. And they're not even questionable on starting Mike Evans. Tank, Bigsby, or Brandon Iyuk? Tank, Del, let's say. I would go Iyuk, then Del, then Bigsby.

Starting point is 00:09:00 Okay, yeah. It just says tank. There's two tanks, Justin. You've got to help us out. That's it for Fantasy Football Today Express.
