Well, less lipstick for sure.

Yeah. Which, you know, that can mask a lot of imperfections. Yes. Were you're older, you're wiser? You know, we're grown-ups. Yeah, this is, I told you we were trying to order some stuff. It didn't come in. Apparently, overnight shipping is not overnight.

You know what I mean? I warned you. I know. I know. We've become a little bit lackadaisical and I'm really sorry and if you're listening that's fine right you don't lose out on anything but I'm sorry we do have a great show you can follow us on the lights go? Doosers.

Hello. Hello. Do we have some lights here? Can we turn the lights back on? Happy Halloween. What? What? What?

What in the world was that all about? They got the power back on and you guys look a little bit different. Mike, we got a problem over here. You're telling me, brother. Oh, boy. We've got the costumes in. I guess so. I guess they shipped them pretty fast.

This is one of those classic costumes. Every kid, every Halloween dresses up like me. As the blue medical tent, the hero hero or at least the feature 24 MVP of the season the MVP of 2024 the blue medical How you doing everybody Andy nice to have you here? Yeah, no very comfortable here. You look great. You look a little wide I'd start losing the LB's but no I'm I'm a home for most of your fantasy players look like you're pushing about 6700 right now Mike said the angle that he has on me right now

It's amazing. I look I look pretty special Mike is suffering as the bone Joe. Yeah Ken bone Walker in the house some mistakes were made with this mask. I now have There's just there's not dripping it of, there's snot dripping into my mustache right now. We only have about an hour left of the show. I love that you now seem like a wheel of shame, torture, punishment, but for the whole show. The bone zone! Get in the zone.

And then Laser Mayfield over here. That's right, that's right. Throwing lasers. Throwing lasers? Are those prescription laser glasses? They are prescription laser glasses, but not my prescription. I can see nothing on this show. So that'll be fun.

Your beard looks outstanding, laser. And you even threw a mohawk in. Yeah, you know, look, Baker may feel no mohawk, laser may feel mohawk. Yeah, no, it looks very good, guys. Let's do the show. We've done it. Mike is ready to wrap this thing up. Let's jump into the news.

News and notes from around the league, presented by USAA Insurance. Mike had his own choice here on what to dress up as and he went torture chamber. He punished himself. I don't believe he thought he was. No, I thought I was taking the easy way out. Yeah, you maybe wanted to try that on a week ago or so. There is an articulating jaw on your skeleton mass. Very nice. It looks great. That was outstanding. Alright listen we got some news Thursday Night Football is tonight so I know there'll be some folks with their phones out walking around the neighborhoods collecting candy with

their kids. Alan Lazard is out. Oh no. Okay there There you go Bryce Young is starting Mike in week nine against That's a spooky surprise Yeah, so the Saints you know we'll see Dave Canales when he came out and talked about this If you if you watch the press conference, did he apologize? No, he said Bryce Young is gonna start at the end of this week They're gonna take in everything that they have all new information, and make an evaluation after the week. So unlike the Joe Flacco situation where they said, like, he is our starter going forward, and we're going to work on Anthony Richardson behind the scenes, this is Bryce Young is only starting this week. Next week they'll figure out if Dalton is healthy and if Bryce Young has played well. Basically

what he was saying is if Bryce Young goes out and looks great, Bryce will keep the job. That's the way I interpreted it, but he's like, Bryce is not the starter. He has not earned it. Go do something, Bryce. Do you feel the same way about that situation as the Colts? Cuz I don't. I feel like Bryce should probably just start the rest of the year because

the season's done, it's over. They traded away Deontay, they're moving forward, they're gonna give young guys opportunities, Jalen Koch or Jonathan Brooks. Why not have Bryce out there? I mean, I- I would agree, if I was the general manager or the head, well, not the head coach,

the head coach I would certainly put out Andy Dalton. That's my job is to try to win games. But if I'm the general manager, I want Bryce Young out there because he gives us the best shot at the 101 to replace himself. Oh, man. All right, the Jacksonville Jaguars. Travis Etienne is still limited with the hamstring, they're optimistic to co-play. Brian Thomas Jr., limited, very important player for fantasy teams,

don't know if he's going to be out there. If he's out there, do you have any worries about, you know, the fact that he's got the rib injury and his performance or would you just throw him in the line? Well, I would just play him. Speaking as a medical professional I would say a little nervous but I'd be he'd be in my lineup. Hopefully he doesn't come and see me during the game is all I'm saying. Jordan Love didn't practice says he thinks is realistic for him to play this week even if he doesn't practice at all. Okay I do have concerns starting Jordan Love this week

with the injury based upon how he played with the injury before exiting that game. So if he doesn't practice all week because of this injury and then has to go out and play in a tough game, I'm not thrilled to play Jordan Love. I mean, there's certainly a risk of him coming out for sure. There's certainly a place where I would still start him over fodder off the waiver wire,

but if you have another good option on the roster, I would look that direction. What about his weapons? I think the like, Dobbs and Reed, that's the bigger question. I actually would, I'd pivot away from all of them, I think, if I didn't have Jordan Love. I wouldn't feel confident in any pass catching weapons.

I'm saying like, Jordan Love plays. Oh, Reed's in any pass catching weapons. I'm saying Jordan Love plays. Oh, reads in. Yeah, that's what I mean. Yeah, reads in. Like I think I'm still gonna roll Stafford regardless this weekend over Jordan Love, but I have Romeo Dobbs and I'm fighting with does he make it in the lineup or not?

You gotta open up your bone mask. You gotta open the bone mask up. Is this better? Yeah, there we go. It's better. Now you're like inside a grave. Oh yeah. A casket. It looks worse, which is better, and now you sound good. Yeah, that's pretty good. Okay. Your commentary is bone-zone. I can, okay, here I am. Josh Jacobs didn't practice on Mike Mike only another hour Didn't practice on Wednesday Monitor that DK Metcalf didn't practice. I know they're hoping he can play He's got the MCL. It's still y'all do you got two of them? Well, okay, that's fair. He's got the MCL injury. Mr. Blue medical tent

You know, I don't think he plays this week. I'm gonna guess he misses this week and is back next week Lamar Jackson didn't practice. They called it a rest day So there you go. He gets those from time to time. It's usually toilet related Falcon knows about rest days. Yeah, Falcon takes a lot of rest days. It's in his contract. He doesn't work Wednesdays. Yeah Alright, that was today's news and Notes, presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at usaa.com slash insurance. It's time for the starts.

Starts of the week. We've got some confidence plays for the upcoming week of football at quarterback. My start of the week is going to be Joe Burrow. And I feel like people need the confidence play with Joe Burrow right now. He is the quarterback five on the year. That part is simple, but he's got three straight games outside the top 12. Sure hope T. Higgins plays. Well I think he'll be back.

Burrow right now through the season, highest completion percentage of his career. And the big part here, the Bengals and how Joe Burrow plays at home. They're seven and a half point favorites his teams have averaged 28 points per game as touchdown favorites in his career at home and so the Raiders defense it's not intimidating what am I hearing in deuces out there looking good. What in the world am I hearing? You're looking good. What are you guys cackling about back there? Is this just the costumes? We're serious people. I asked a question.

Can't you take my advice seriously as a tent? What's going on? So this is just you laughing at the costumes? I can't. This is who we are, man. We are serious people with a serious job, serious games this week, and I'm hearing laughter. Unbelievable. Yeah, and that was a serious start of the week.

My start of the week this week will be... Unserious? Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. Unserious. people with a serious job, serious games this week, and I'm hearing laughter. Yeah. Unbelievable.

That was a serious start of the week. My start of the week this week will be... Unserious? Not as serious. I mean, it should be Laser Mayfield, but it's going to be Dak Prescott, who I've been talking about him as the second half star, like last year this week the Dallas Atlanta game It carries the highest over under of the week There's 52 points and Dak is averaging 39 passing attempts per game

That is number one in the NFL and oh, yeah, the Falcons are allowing the highest completion percentage in the NFL They're ranked 26 against fantasy quarterbacks. They've allowed two plus passing touchdowns every quarterback they faced over the last month There's gonna be a lot of points scored in this game This starts the beginning of the Dallas Cowboys passing attack trying to get them back into the playoffs I'm going Sam Darnold versus the Indianapolis Colts Look, it's the Sun and that game. We got a 46 and a half point over on it. Hey, I'm serious I'm serious. Stop laughing at me. Now lift up your teeth. Look the Vikings have a 26 point implied team total. We love that and they

have hit their implied total in all but one game this year. Sam Darnold I expect at least 250 and 2 possibly more. Okay at running back it's never a sexy choice but Tony Pollard is the pick against New England he's averaging the ninth most opportunities per game he's touched the ball in 31% of Tennessee's offensive plays and the Patriots defense is 30th in the NFL and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to running backs five straight running backs have hit 80 rushing yards. That's a wonderful baseline you have against New England.

Was this just Matthew Judon or is it Belichick? Because it's mostly the same crew that shut down running backs last year. Well, you see, Jason, from what I understand, and I'm not speaking out of turn here because the head coach has confirmed it, they're soft. Ah, yeah, that's true. They are.

They're soft. They are playing soft. My running back started the week. James Connor at home against Chicago. You look at the Chicago matchup, you say they're a good defense. I was surprised at this. I do say that. I'm a little scared.

It could be tempting to go with a better option against an easier matchup. But I would not go away from James Connor. Those Chicago Bears are an outstanding defense against quarterbacks and wide receivers. They're just middle of the pack against running backs and if the Cardinals are going to do something at home against them, they're going to want to use James Connor a lot, which they have been. Connor has already been awesome.

He's been averaging 19 opportunities a game and he is number one in 10 plus yards. He's third in runs of 10 plus yards. He's third in yards after contact. Listen to this. So he leads all running backs in the NFL. This is insane. In forced missed tackles. Right? That's great. He's number one. Yeah, you want to

force some missed tackles? You do. That's good. Number two is a three-way tie between Najee Harris, Jordan Mason, and Bijon Robinson. Those are guys that you have watched on the field and you've said, hey, Najee breaks tackles. Yeah. They each are tied for second place with 29 Bejon Robinson. Those are guys that you've watched on the field and you've said, hey, nausea breaks tackle. Yeah. They each are tied for second place with 29 broken tackles, forced missed tackles.

James Connor is at 47. He's almost lapping the field. So I don't think this is a player who's going to get a lot of opportunity at home against a team where if you're going to do damage against them, it's gonna be in the running game So I'm not benching James Connor this week. I'm not looking at the matchup is too hard. I'm starting James Connor I'm going with Chuba Hubbard. Hey everybody and the reason that he's even in here is more of a This is more of a I have the confidence to actually play him as a running back to if you recall last week It well I was oh you T on Chuba Hubbard and even though Bryce Young is the quarterback

That's fine because the matchup is there the Saints 31st and schedule adjusted points 28th in rushing yards per game allowed look it he's averaging 20 and a half opportunities since week three I think that Chuba is back in as a running back to and a half opportunities since week three. I think that Chuba is back in as a running back too. Now. That one is very nerve wracking. So. I'm the same way.

I'm the same way as Andy, not as you Mike. I'm scared of this one. Bryce Young stinks. And then I think Jonathan Brooks. Wrong button. We're falling apart. Oh, you strapping him on for that one? Yes, he needs it.

Oh, OK. OK. My wide receiver start of the week. I went and traded heavy to get this guy with the announcement that Joe Flacco is going to be the quarterback for likely the remainder of the year. And good call there, Mike. I'm bowing out, guys.

Josh, with the skeleton skeleton mask has slid forward and now the podcast listeners can be more pleased. All right I'm in. Look, Josh Downs is the pick for start of the week at wide receiver. Just traded heavy for him in dynasty. Jason brought him up on hungry for more and he's been targeted on 30% of his routes.

This is a player that on the field when you Evaluate him as a route runner his involvement in the offense He is a go-to wide receiver for his quarterback and Joe Flacco when he's been the quarterback with Josh Downs Downs is average 10 targets eight receptions 72 yards. I think he's a machine the rest of the season That's the truth and the Vikings the Vikings are a pass funnel. They're They're going to give up yardage to the position. I think Josh Downs is a must play this week. And I hate saying that because I have to play him against him. Yes, you do because I get to play him. I love your start of the week there. I'm going with Chris Olave on the road in Carolina. We saw them play week one. Terrible game for Chris Olave.

But it was an awesome game for Rashid Shahid, which is why it was bad for Olave. There was the blowout that made me start thinking that I would run up against the 10 victory Saints and have to shave my head. I took care of Dennis Allen's job this week. Rashid Shahid is out. It's clear that Olavi is far and away the best option at wide receiver. Last week he had 14 targets. Now he gets Derek Carr back, presumably. That's how it's looking. He had 41% of the targets last week against Carolina, who is allowing the highest yards per pass attempt in the NFL. They break 25th against fantasy wide receivers. Absolute must start. I think Olavi is a wide receiver one rest of season

because of the Shahid injury. I'm going lad McConkey. It was Andy's. Oh, my little lad. Oh, my God. It's the worst. It's not great. It's not good.

It's worse than not great. Andy, Hungry For a Player of this week, look, he was the wide receiver too. I get it. It was two touchdowns. But he has been heating up. His target share for a rookie has been very good. And now the last three weeks, we've

seen that Hard Dog and G. Rowe, they have forgot to visit the doctor for those testosterone boosters. And they are, in fact, going low T, and they're throwing the ball all the time with Justin Herbert playing much much better it for fantasy purposes he's given us those yards and the matchup against Cleveland while they are a good defense like they seem like a scary one you can actually throw on them 28th and schedule adjusted fantasy points to the wide

receiver position you've given a gift to the podcast listeners. We can hear you. All right, we're turning to Clyde N. I'm glad that's a gift. Yeah, most often it is. I'm going hat. Oh, just a hat. No bone? No bone. I got the gloves on, man.

Okay. I'm a skeleton. I got, this is, ooh. Guys, I'm a skeleton. Look at these gloves, man. I'm known as a skeleton. Oh, this might be worse.

Yeah. This hat's never coming off. You need the bone zone. Listen, Sam Laporta's the tight end start of the week for me. Coming off his best game of the year, tons of targets, no Jameson Williams. Packer's defense has been terrible against tight ends. This is the week where you get a good game

from Sam Laporta and then you get a tough decision because you decide whether you want to trade off of that or you want to, what I think will happen, you'll buy in because you'll have a couple of great weeks. And the truth is Laporta, much like Mark Andrews, the fundamental truth is he is an asset to the offense. Andrews is around the red zone, La Porta is, and the six for 48 and one last week

almost scored two times. I think La Porta dominates this week. Yeah, I think that's great. I'm shocked that you didn't go with Cade Auden as your start of the week, so we'll make him an honorary start of the week because he is also great. Sounds very biased from Laser Mayfield.

Yeah, Laser. That's my guy, Cade Otten out there. But I'm not taking him as my start of the week. I'm taking Evan Ingram with his Kajabillion targets this week against the Philadelphia Eagles. That's only scientifically speaking. That is. The Jaguars pass catchers, they're banged up.

And by banged up, I mean Krisha Kirk is done for the year. Gabe Davis has his injury. Brian Thomas has his injury. Yeah, I've seen them all. I've seen them all. I've seen them all. Yeah, they've been visiting you and you've been rude to some of them. You're like, no, you're not going back in. Out. On the season, right now, Evan Ingram has averaged a 27% of his routes as a target. That's tied for third best in the NFL. And the Eagles, they

might look on paper, look at the the matchup you go oh they're pretty good against tight ends but they're terrible against the slot players like last week you saw Mike Gassicki kind of play that slot role and he was 7 for 73 against Philadelphia when Kirk was out for the season in weeks 14 through 18 last year Evan Ingram led all players in the NFL in slot receptions. He had more slot receptions at CD Lamb or Um and Raw or Cooper Cup. This is a pure slot wide receiver role and I think he's just going to have so many targets that you have to start Evan Ingram this week.

And I am going Mark. Yeah, look at this. I didn't- Mark Andrews against the Denver Broncos because things are trending up for him. No, I'm not, the touchdowns have been delightful. I'm not just chasing the touchdowns. I am chasing the fact that he's been on the field more and more. He's been averaging four receptions, 50 yards in a touchdown.

He's, over the last month that is, 13 points a game. That's right behind Brock Bowers. But here's what was exciting. We were all trying to figure out what is going on with Mark Andrews and the one of the hypothesis was that That's so not a word but go on is that it was he's recovering its hypothesis is oh, yeah That's definitely a hypothesis us is Last year, look, the ankle injury, he's still recovering from it. Over the preseason in training camp, there was a car accident that he was involved in.

And he just hasn't been on the field. We're like, what's going on? Because he's still good, but he's not getting reps. Those have gone up. Week eight, tied for season high in snap percentage at 74%. 29 routes. That was the highest since week one. In fact, he lined up out wide 12 times,

and Kyle is saying that's the most of any game of his entire career. I think, we're not back, but we're back where Mark Andrews is a very startable guy. The Ravens are nine point home favorites, and the Broncos are allowed the ninth most receptions to the tight end position. Where does Andrew slot in in best tight ends rest of season?

Would you rather have Kate Otten than Mark Andrews? Oh, that's a really good one. I think it's probably still Kate Otten because we just don't have all the information. But at least where we're trending right now, in two weeks from now, you could ask that, is it Kate Otten or Mark Andrews? And all of a sudden we're like, no, Mark Andrews is back to his full allotment.

But what about Dalton Kincade or Mark Andrews? I think that is- I'll take Mark Andrews. Yeah, that's where I am as well. I think I'd lean that way as well. I can't stand how effective yet boring the Bills offense can be. Oh, it's the worst.

It's the absolute worst fantasy, because they're very good. They're winning games. I think they have like a 100 point point differential. They've been awesome and yet for fantasy it's like stop. It's just low opportunities. You don't want to throw the ball when you're up and that's not fun. Well it's like if Mark Andrews and Dalton Kincaid are both getting between three and four receptions a week. Kincaid's averaging three and a half right now. Mark Andrews are far more valuable targets. They just just average depth of target and then touchdown opportunity and then throw in touchdown opportunity. So I lean Mark Andrews even

though it it's been a slow start. Well we're gonna take a quick break and we'll come back with the fantasy forecast. with the fantasy forecast. Well, it's a big week of games that we've got to break down. Mike has broken out of his skeleton face. That lasted all of what, like seven minutes? I had to, look, the YouTube people got what they needed and now the podcast people. That's fair. I think that's a good call. This is for the people. And just so people understand this before we we jump in

Jason is blind. I am struggling to read anything on my laptop He's wearing a pair of Tron laser glasses for those listening at home. You can go to the website laser You can go to youtube.com slash the fan was drawn and check it out I mean, I'm just that's the the thought process Mike But he is blind because he needs prescription glasses as an elderly man And if you were to walk around this studio desk and look at my laptop you would laugh because I have it zoomed in It's the biggest font you've ever seen and you still can't read that I can see that this is I'll go all the way around sure they can read it clear

there we go that's that's the size we're working with here yeah that's that's good stuff all right let's jump in it's time for Fantasy Forecast presented by Draft King Sportsbook. It's like two words per screen. Yeah, I can read Dallas Cowboys. I know they're in this matchup. We have two bye weeks, two bye weeks. The 49ers and Steelers taking time off doing their Falcon thing. All right, Dallas at three and four, take on the Atlanta Falcons at five and three.

That's our first matchup we're gonna look at. DraftKings Sportsbook Line, Atlanta minus three, over under 52 beautiful points. That's a good deal. That's a reason to be endorsing Jason's start of the week for Dak Prescott. Now if he doesn't do it in this game, as the quarterback 18, I think there'll be some worry

because that'll prove the dysfunction has reached a very deep into the roots of the offense. The dysfunction is not just offense I mean obviously they've lost a lot of pieces on the defensive line but the whole team right now for the Cowboys is kind of imploding. The the reason I'm so bullish on Dak is because you've got years of Dak getting it done. You've got years of Dak getting it done. You have last season of Dak getting it done, you have CD Lam dominating, he was incredible last week.

They need him and this is not a bad team and a bad franchise as much as we joke about the issues that Jerry Jones has, which he does, this is not a team that is just going to fold and go away. I think Dak has to put more on his shoulders and be better, and I think he'll step up. I mean, his passing yardage line from DraftKings is 264.5. So you're already at a baseline where the expectation is a really nice output. On the other side, at home, Atlanta, high high over under, Kirk Cousins has been like a stick of dynamite that you light and it goes off every fourth time that you attempt to.

Oh, you got some deads? Yeah, I mean sometimes the fuse goes out on the way. I don't think it goes out in this game. Dallas has obviously been a troubled defense. They've struggled. Bijon, there were some comments and I want to give credit to the CoachSpeak index this morning. There were some comments that they discovered from the offensive coordinator, Zach Robinson, that just came out and said

verbatim. Zach Robinson said, one, Bijan's a young player. He's getting better learning blitz pickups. Two, we believe in the philosophy of having multiple backs and keeping them fresh so that they're effective later in the game. So it's not necessarily something we don't know, but hearing it vocalized as opposed to maybe they accidentally are doing this. You know, Bijan has been a little bit like that stick of dynamite as well. Sometimes it looks amazing. We just heard he's tied behind James Connor,

second in forced tackles missed. Very impressive when you're not getting the allotment of snaps that James Connor's getting. But just something to keep in mind is that Bichon's probably not going to give you very often the Kyron, the Henry those type of weeks but he's still going to be a probably a low-end running back one he's still a great player yeah Kirk Cousins going back to him the stick of dynamite when I when I look at the

games I think he's playing outstanding ball for the last month the question is just how do the touchdowns go in and I worry a little bit in this matchup because the Cowboys you have just been able to run their defensive line is so banged up that teams have ran the ball like crazy. So I think if you get around the end zone you get you know in the red zone you get around the 10 they're going to be running the ball and they're going to have success. So that's where I think Kirk Cousins comes out here and throws 300 yards but if he doesn't get the early touchdowns you you know, a big Drake

London touchdown, a big Kyle Pitts touchdown, something like that, then I, you know, it does make me more bullish on Bijon and able to flex Tyler Algier in this game. This game is fantastic. The over-under we said is 52, but the pace of play, Atlanta is first in neutral pace. Dallas is fifth. Dallas has hit the over in five of seven games. This is like, everybody is in play here for me. Dak, his DK passing line is 264 and a half yards. Like, even the backup options, like Tyler Algier,

if you're in a really bad spot with your running back position, and Tyler Algier's on the waiver wire, I think you could pick him up and you could play him. Two things. One, you look really short on camera. Two. Yeah, we adjusted the camera for your costume

that was much taller. Can you raise your chair? Or are we just like little? I'm maxed out, brother. You're like a little kid fan of the Seahawks right now. That's what it looks like. Go Hawks. Secondly, I would play Tyler Algiers over any option on Dallas by far at the running back

position. Oh yeah, yeah. Like everyone's in play, you can't play Dallas Cowboys running back right now because we have no idea what's going to happen. Rico Dowdell is not on the injury report with the illness that he had on Sunday. I mean we all have an illness trying to analyze the running back position in Dallas this year. And Zeke was very, I thought Zeke was inefficient.

Tom Palacero loved what he saw from Dalvin Cook, but the rest of the universe was like, that dude is washed. We gotta get him off the field. Look, Mike McCarthy said running back by committee is definitely not the preference, but we feel it's the best way to utilize these guys. Let me translate that. They don't know what they're doing. Let me translate that.

The preference was Derrick Henry. Yeah, let me translate it to these guys shouldn't be on the field all the time so we've got to take them off sometimes and try somebody else. It's not good. Yeah, the Falcons, if you adjust for schedule, they've actually been top five against running back so I'm fine pivoting away. That being said, my expectation is Rico is active in this game and is the Primary carrier also involved in the passing game the Atlanta Falcons do give up a lot of receptions to the running back

And when I look at who's been targeted in that game who's been successful I think Rico could could have a surprising game. I I will not be shocked if Rico ends up fine here Okay, I'll leave Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Rico Dowdell. No, I'm not saying play him. I'm saying that the Dallas Cowboys, if they come out of the of the end of this game after what happened last week and don't have him as the primary running bag that everyone should be fired. That's what I'm saying. Okay. Yeah, I mean, Cook should be active though, right?

No, he shouldn't. No, I mean, we expect him to. Play Ferguson, play Pitts, the tight end five, play Mooney, wide receiver 15 on the year. Yeah. Wide receiver 12. So I'm saying this game is delightful. Jalen Tolbert would be... Desperate times. I'm fine with it. Tolbert or Addison against Indianapolis? Oh, I'd go Addison. I think so, but Addison's so bad this sin. Nice. I'd play LeGette. Yeah, sure. You got it.

Tolbert. Yeah. The number five search, Darnell Mooney or Tank Del. And Mike, you've had a policy this morning. You've decided, cause the majority, like almost 80% of our top start sit questions involve Tankdale, and those are going directly

to Jason's personal phone number. I appreciate you reminding me, because I was going to answer that this question is very easy, but I'll let Jason handle it. Jason, would you? Darnel Mooney or Tankdale? That is an easy Darnel Mooney. OK.

Tankdale has a place and is not someone that you have to bench, but if you've got good options, Tankedell against the Jets on the road is not the matchup I want. Miami's 2-5. They take on the 6-2 Buffalo Bills who are at home. The Draft King Sportsbook line, Buffalo minus 6. The over-under is 49 points. Kind of a do-or-die game for Miami. Buffalo beat them 31 to 10. Tua was knocked out back in week two. The Bills have dominated the Dolphins.

They've just got their number, man. 11 and two since 2018. They're at home, they've got the machine working. One of the keys to success for Buffalo has been slowing down Tyreek Hill, regardless of whether Hill was on the Chiefs or has been on the Dolphins. They've found a way to defend against him and keep him,

I think he's got one game over 80 yards ever, like against this team. Geez, in a lot of matchups. Yeah, I mean, you're talking about eight or nine games. So, you know. Not that you're not playing Tyreek. Yeah, you're still gonna play Tyreek Hill. It's just, it's really.

I think what it does is it goes back to Tua. Tua is a really questionable star. A lot of people who have picked him up, they might be wanting to play him personally. I'm not loving the Tua match up here just because historically against Buffalo, he hasn't done well. Obviously this season,

I know he got concussed and knocked out of that game, but up until that point, he was absolutely atrocious just being dominated by the Bills defense. The Bills defense in the passing game has been top five against quarterbacks, top five against wide receivers, top 10 against tight ends. Where you beat them is on the ground,

and they give up the most receptions to running backs. So A-chan, totally great play in this matchup. He's going to have four, five, six, seven receptions in this game as they try to find something to make it work. Even Raheem Mostert I would rather play, but the passing game scares me for the Dolphins in this one. Well, that means that Jaylen Waddle scares you, although his receiving line is at 49.5 that makes him flexible. Yeah. I think a Jaylen Waddle scares you, although his receiving line's at 49 and a half, that makes him flexible. Yeah, I think a Jaylen Waddle... Now he will see me during the game.

Oh, for sure. Jaylen? Well, I'm actually, there are a few players I'm extremely familiar with. I know Jaylen on a first name basis. He... I don't think you do, because that's not his name. What's his? Oh my gosh, Jaylen Waddle.

Yeah, it is. Ha ha! I thought there was a joke. No, I Dude, what is going on laser late late apparently lasers are in your brain in the eyeballs Important question. What did you think is a Jaden wattle for a second? I'm a no Jaden Wattle Shr shrink the chair. Yeah, all right, don't adjust the camera. There's nothing quite like correcting

a name to the wrong name. I mean, that is just elite level. Give me Herbie Hancock. Herbie Hancock. Oh. I feel, I have Amari Cooper in dynasty. I feel so nervous playing him. Are you just looking at last week as,

hey, they're still figuring it out? I mean, it was.8 points. I mean, I feel like Keon Coleman's a better play than Amari Cooper. I 100% agree with that. I think Khalil Shakir is a better play than Amari Cooper at this point. What about Dalton Kincaid in the flex over Cooper?

Yeah, I think I'm with that too. If I made the move for Amari Cooper, I'm trying not to have sunk cost right now. It'd be like, I have to force him in. It's more of a, I'm gonna bench him. Amari Cooper or Jamar Chase? Oh, that's a Jamar Chase. That one's very easy.

I'm just double checking on that one. Yeah, thank you for that. But Amari Cooper. Oh, this is a Jamar Chase. That one's very easy. I'm just double checking on that one. Yeah, thank you for that. But Amari Cooper. Oh, this is a trade. Yeah, OK. Dumb. Amari Cooper's on my bench. And if he has a great game and I miss out, I just like,

I will accept that and be happy that Amari Cooper's ready to go. Yeah, and when you say Keon Coleman over Amari Cooper, I don't think Keon Coleman's a great play here either. The ball could go to three or four different receiving options, and what we've seen from the Bills is if they get the lead, they're going to want to run the ball.

If they want to run the ball against the Dolphins, you know, 26th ranked running defense, I think they'll find success. Yeah, you're right about that. I would say Hungry for More, Keon Coleman though, he wasn't in our segment this week, but three of the last four games have been solid, and what I love to see is the snap counts.

I mean, 83% last week, 75% the week before, both of those games, top 24. I don't have the- Maybe it's not this week, but I think it's gonna be most weeks. Oh, for sure. And he looks good! I don't have the first read target information at all

I haven't even seen it But watching the game it felt like he was a first read target on a lot of his plays those first like three drives So he's you know Talk about Keelan Coleman. That's right Guy you have to keep in mind Andy. I can't read well right. Oh, okay Really fix the memory Thank you. Now I did in his defense his laser glasses are flashing every second So that would possibly dewire the brain. Yeah, that's science

All right The Raiders at two and six the Bengals three and five Draft King sportsbook line Cincinnati minus seven the over-under is forty six and a half This game feels like it should be easy to project, which makes it also feel to me like a trap game. Cincinnati's three and five. The Raiders are a tooth and nail, minimal talent, but we kind of sometimes win games we shouldn't. They beat the Ravens. Yeah so this is like it should be

clean and easy at home for Cincinnati and that's the way we're projecting it that's the way Vegas has it you know Joe Burrow started the week at home has been great. Chase Brown his lines at 57 and a half on DK rushing wise he should be fine. Chase I think if you if you're the chase manager you're hoping that Higgins is playing in this football game, I think if you're the Chase manager, you're hoping that Higgins is playing in this football game because they're just so much better together. Yeah, they have a difficult decision to make here at the end of the year.

No, I think it's been made already. Just what, that they're gonna try and bring him back now? No, no, no, I think the decision's been made that T. Higgins is moving on. I agree that that's what everything felt like but it's like this year is just more proof of like guys Jamar chase is an elite player, but our offense is just infinitely better when we have to I would argue that this year is also proof that you cannot rely on T Higgins to be there when you need him.

They're losing games because T. Higgins hasn't been available. It's not like, man, those two games you play with us, you prove we need you, we're gonna re-sign you. I don't see T. Higgins back with this team. Yeah, most coaches and general managers will say, hey, let's go draft a guy, and then we like Yoshivas, and we like to, you know, it might not be the right logic,

but the money, the check. They can like Yoshivas, but Joe Burrow does not like throwing him the ball. I feel like he's been pretty involved this season. I feel like that's not true. Yeah. He is, he is not. When T. Higgins wasn't there,

Yoshi was pretty good. I mean, he's- Like last week when he had zero catches and three targets. I mean, he- Last week would be a bad example for my case. The beginning of the year when Higgins was gone, those six targets, seven targets, he had games where Joe Burrow was looking his way.

So he had two games, three touchdowns. Yeah. But I'm with you, I'm with you. I'm on team Yoshi. We'll see because T. Higgins is on team Higgins. We brought this up yesterday on the Waiver Show, but Mike Kosicki, when Higgins is on Team Higgins. We brought this up yesterday on the Waiver Show, but Mike Kosicki, when Higgins is gone, he is utilized a lot.

The matchup is pretty nice against the Raiders, and he would be a good streaming option. And T was, it did not practice on Wednesday. Wednesday is not nearly as big as today. We probably have news on that practice report today. I wanted to look up today's practice report, but I't read one of the three well that's not a glass of the three deuces I didn't dress up for Halloween should look this up yeah be useful do something I guess they did dress up in a way as clowns boring on

the other side three clown man we should just put them on them. You know what? They're not the way son put the way Clown with how can clowns that find the wig and I can't push the button but push the button so that we can watch you put Let me talk about the Raiders real quick Alexander Madison is Yeah We know this right away. Yeah, this is how I see you anyways, right? You dressed up as the deuces We figured okay. This is good stuff Josh's hair finally Josh

Do you know how to put a wig on no he put it over the? Do you notice the other two were able to do this yeah, how big is your head? you Perfect okay How big is your head? You, perfect. Okay, and for the remainder of the show. I'd show Bob over there. Alexander Madison over the last month, averaging 20 and a half opportunities per game. It's disgusting, but he is the epitome of volume as king for fantasy football because he's not necessarily

looking any better than he did last year, but he's getting the ball so much. They did say he's the starter. Yeah, I mean that's, I, uh, with Zameer White back the last couple weeks and the team still going with Madison, I feel confident that you can play him as a, like a low end running back, too. And, uh, Brock Bowers, every, uh, all the hours you play him? All the hours. If we haven't brought up

Jacoby Myers we have not yet Jacoby Myers I think is a player that you need to pay attention to his DraftKings sportsbook line is fifty and a half receiving yards the match wasn't like perfect against Cincinnati it's not bad either I think Jacoby is a PPR play almost every week going forward he's their number one target, and he's clearly their best wide receiver. Jacoby Myers is a solid wide receiver. He was just gone with Devontae Adams exiting.

It's like Jacoby and Brock, I think that the volume will be there for Myers every single week. Gasicki is in for me if Higgins is out. If Higgins is back, Gasicki is not in my lineup. The Chargers are four and three. The Browns are two and six, the DraftKings Sportsbook line here, Chargers minus one and a half. The Over-Unders 43 and a half.

Bit surprised at the line on the road in Cleveland after Cleveland had the upset. I guess it's a little bit of a prove it situation right now. Yeah, I mean they had to come back and they had a pretty miraculous. I mean, the game was over. Hamilton dropped the game on the interception, and then it took a really good pass to Tillman for the game winning touchdown. Listen, when you have the reigning AFC offensive player of the week, Jameis Winston.

Never doubt. Chubbs rushing lines at 52 and 1 half. That seems, I think we're all just waiting to I mean what was the last week he got 52 52 last week I took the under of 50 and a half and he got 52 what an idiot it's funny too because I remember watching snaps 18 opportunities and I'm feeling like man he's he's not getting much work I'm gonna crush this and I look towards the end of the game, and it's like 52. He 3.2 per attempt.

He got there. Mike loves McConkey. I think Tillman is in play this week. Tillman's involvement the last three weeks has been great. His line's at 45 and a half receiving wise. The fact that Judy and Moore both had productive games with Winston does mean that, you know,

this could bounce around a little bit. Njoku's integral, I doubt all four guys are going to put up big numbers every week and the Chargers, eighth against wide receivers. It's probably going to be, like I'd rank them Tillman then Judy then Moore, but it could be Judy this week. I mean, it's possible.

I would rank them Judy then Tillman then Moore. However, I'm gonna pump the brakes on Tillman in general Baltimore the matchup. They just had Every single week by the end of the game the opposing team has a ton of yards You know it just happens every week And that's what happened last week where Tillman and more and Judy and and the joku they all had a good game This is not the same the Chargers we've talked about it all the time. They have been hitting the under every game. They are a slow it down, ugly brand of football

where I just don't expect, I don't expect a ton of passing volume from the Browns here. So Tillman is someone that I would love to have. I tried to pick him up wherever he was on waivers. I'm not seeing this as he's had two good games in a row without Amari Cooper, so he has become a must-star in a bad matchup.

I'm still kind of, you know, I would play Tank Del over Tilman. I get the hesitation. I think I'd go Tilman over Tank. In weeks one and two, J.H. Godobbins is averaging 9.9 a carry. From week three on 3.2, Jason has been quick to point this out over the last two weeks. Would you play Dobbins or Chubb?

The defense for the Browns is slightly better against the run than the Chargers have been. They're very similar though. I would play Dobbins over Chubb still. The other running backs are more involved for the Browns at this point, still in time. You saw Forman getting some work. Dobbins has been the centerpiece of the running game. He just hasn't been effective. I don't believe either one of those players are a great play, but I would go Dobbins over Chubb. If I had them both, I would just be like, who do I think is scoring more points? That's the running back of my play.

Ah, isn't that? That's most of what we do as a job. No, I'm sorry. The team. OK. I was like, that's always the question I ask, is who do I think is going to score more points? Who's got cooler hair, man? In my head, I said the whole sentence.

That sounded so funny. As in, do I think the Chargers score more, or do the Browns score more? And what's your answer? I think the Chargers score more. So I'll go score more? And what's your answer? I think the Chargers score more. So I'll go with Dobbins. You and DraftKings agree. He explained our starts hit tool very clearly.

All right, we'll take a break. Just put the players in and go, what do you think? I would just play your best players. All right, we'll take a break. We'll hit the rest of the matchups. ["Drop the Beat"] All right, we'll take a break. We'll hit the rest of the matchups. ["Song of the Weekend"] All right, before we jump right back into the rest of the matchups,

I do have some kind of live feedback for you. Oh, okay, great. Maybe not being considered. When you see players go into the Blue Medical tent, we're like, oh, are they hurt? Are they gonna be okay? It's possible they're in there for more of a sauna experience.

Oh! Is it warm in there? I got a drip. I'd say I'm pretty constrained here. You're sweaty right now. I got a drip going down the arm. So does that mean, and I think this would make sense, towards the end of the game,

the longer that you have been up and heated, you are grouchier? Oh, as a tent? Yeah, as a tent, you know, up and heated, you are grouchier. You're gonna give- Oh, as a tent? Yeah, as a tent, you're gonna give worse kind of outcomes to the players coming in later in the game? I'm an inanimate object. I really don't have feelings.

But you can talk. Well, that part is- And sweat. Yeah, and sweat, yeah. It's a mystery. I would say that I'm grumpy because I'm not looked at the way I'm not respected You know the fantasy players no one like you hate me

No, it's not just the fantasy players the NFL fans the players the coaches imagine you suck Imagine you were a house and every time somebody goes into you They boo they boo and they yeah apple and they and see that and see that's the life I'm living over here. Nobody respects the purpose, which is I provide privacy, and that's pretty much it. Well, if it's raining. So does a porta potty. If it's raining, if it's windy, there's some shelter.

Yeah, but they're not allowed to use me for that. I would. Thank you. Mike doesn't follow the rules. Well, Ken Bonewalker has been in the blue tent a lot. Yeah, he has. New England's two and six, this is all just a way to delay talking about this game.

New England's two and six, Tennessee's one and six. Yeah. Drafking sportsbook line, Tennessee minus three and a half at home. The overruns are 38, it's the lowest of the week. It's a stinky, stinky game. This game. And maybe Drake May plays.

This game sucks. Yeah, Drake May's in the concussion protocol. He's progressing, but we don't know at this point whether he'll. It seems optimistic. Yeah, I mean, TBD, if he gets a full practice in today and then meets with the independent neurologist, he could be activated for this week.

To me- This is the pick number two and pick number three right now in the NFL draft order. Oh really? This would be number one Carolina, number two Tennessee, number three New England, number four of the Jets. Oh, that's good man. That's good.

That's good stuff. Yeah. That'll be, if we can get them in the top three, the drama. I can't wait for them to listen to Aaron Rodgers and draft a wide receiver. I mean, it will be outstanding. And then whoever is the next pick after them

will grab a quarterback that becomes a first battle hall. You just know, sometimes the world is against certain franchises. What is Ramon Ray Stevenson? He's had four awesome games, he's had three duds, he scored twice last week against you, Jason. Oh, I felt him. Tony Pollard on the other side, my start of the week, I'm in on Pollard. What is Stevenson is the question.

When you're on a bad football team, when we're sitting here in the offseason and we're saying, we like drafting running backs on teams that win football games and yet Stevenson has been this touchdown threat um Antonio Gibson's running for one to carry and is hurt Stevenson is a workhorse back who is involved in the passing game getting a ton of opportunity and usage I view him not too dissimilarly to what uh Mike was talking about with Alexander Madison. These are guys who are going to get all the opportunity presented for them. It's just not high expectation fantasy opportunity

given to them, but they're absolutely in play for a weekly start in any kind of matchup where you don't expect them to get boat raced. Now sometimes these guys like Ramondre, even when they're boat raced, you get the passing work. Or the goal line carry. Yeah, so the question really becomes, do you expect enough points in this game?

And that's where it's like, it's not as exciting as Madison this week because this game looks like a fart fest. Well, I mean, look, last week, it didn't look good for New England against the Jets. Ramondre got it done and you're probably as exciting as Madison this week because this game looks like a fart fest. Well, I mean, look, last week, it didn't look good for New England against the Jets. Remondre got it done and you're probably backed into playing him because.

It didn't look good Remondre playing. No, he didn't, he wasn't efficient but he scored. And, you know, last week, was it the redemption story for Calvin Ridley? I expect him to be back out there this week. The Patriots defense is not good. All the things I said about Tony Pollard and the points given up, are you okay with Ridley? And Jason, this is another one that you're

going to get a million of, Ridley or Dell? Yeah, I've got Ridley above Dell this week. They're back to back in my rankings, but coming off of a hot start without Hopkins, the Patriots defense is not terrifying it. I know that Calvin Ridley will get a lot of targets against an easier defense. So far with Tank Dell, he's been in that four to seven target range where it's like. Yeah, you gotta score.

I'm hoping for seven, but he could end up with four and he could have Sauce Gardener. So I'll take Calvin Ridley off a hot game. Okay that makes sense. Calvin Ridley or Jalen Ridley? Oh man Jalen Ridley one of my first name basis guys. I'm just gonna watch the game with him. Aren't they the same guy?

No no no Jalen's his cousin. Oh. Didn't didn't make it in the NFL. Hunter Henry been good with Drake May don't know if's playing, are you trying to find somebody else? He's also had a couple good games with Jacoby but yeah Hunter Henry is a good streaming option this isn't the best streaming week you know when you adjust for schedule the Titans I think they're averaging around seven fantasy points given up per game to the Titan position that's not great that's like a top ten defense. the Washington commanders are six and two the Giants are two and

six the Giants are at home the draft King Sportsbook line here Washington minus four the over-under is 44 Oh baby Andy's almost upset of the week some hot stuff I get it I get it I don't think I've had one in two weeks no I is almost upset of the week. Some hot stuff. I get it, I get it. I don't think I've had one in two weeks. No, I don't think so.

This one, Coward. This one feels right. So the Giants, four point underdogs at home. The game was 21-18 in week two. Jaden Daniels still recovering from a rib injury. The defense in New York, they are a, I don't know, bend and then break defense.

They look good for like three quarters of every game and then they're just like, we're, like we can't do this anymore. It's bend, don't break until broken. That's what this defense is. They just, they're on the field a lot because the offense can't really help them out. Sometimes Daniel Jones puts them in short field situations,

but the personnel and the talent and ability of the New York Giants defense is very good. Number one in SACRATE, and Jaden Daniels and company, they scored nine points before the Hail Mary last week. Right? I mean, this was a slog so I Like the Giants to get it done. You've got and they're a home you do have Tyrone Tracy Progressing through the protocol. Yeah, I gotta hope he's back turning in the right direction from Brian Dable

So that is great great, but timeline wise what we've seen I mean, this is pretty consistent most every single player who gets a concussion misses one week. Marvin Harrison did not, right? I don't think Tracy misses this week. You don't? No I do not. I'll put.

Marv didn't miss. But it was the Monday night game. It was the Monday game, but he was also cleared. Like he was like a full practice on Friday. I like that Tracy, he's out there in the protocol, he's out there practicing. He's just in a red jersey, which is part of the process. So again, I'm not a, I'm a medical tent.

I'm not a doctor. You just know when guys are hurt, not when they'll be better. Would you let him go in the game right now? I saw him briefly last week. He seemed a little banged around, but he's fine. Now I don't know. We'll see.

Having him back is important to my almost upset But Malik don't hedge now Malik neighbors I Would play neighbors in Tracy is my point if Tracy's out. Would you play Devin Singletary? No, see I would if Tracy is out I think I think Singletary will have enough work as like a I mean you look at Alexander Madison's been bad will have enough work as like a I mean you look at Alexander Madison's been bad Ramon Stevenson's been bad but they're just getting so much work if Tracy's gone I would expect a full workload for Singletary and the matchup against the Washington commanders defense which has gotten better and better they're still not great against running back so first three weeks I'd be nervous 15

opportunities said he had Devin Singletary had 17 opportunities against Washington in week 2 where he was 16 for 95 on the ground with a touchdown, 20 opportunities the following week and then the week after that was when he got hurt. Can I agree with you nervously? Yeah, sure. Yeah, I'll accept that. Jaden Daniels, play him if he's active. Brian Robinson, yes.

Terry McLaurin, yes. Receiving line 65 and a half let me read you a fantasy that is a nice high line 923 17 7 16 10 Terry McLaurin is a go-to receiver and the number two receiver on this team is Zachary's and Zachary's was 7 for 77 last week. I have leagues where Kittle live Kittle in a bunch of leagues. He's on by. Zacherts is playing in every one of those leagues for me. He's the perfect bye week villain. That is his fundamental role for fantasy. Yeah the matchup is not good. Stinky for tight ends but Zacherts is. Hey

dude he is the stink master. Zacherts won't win you the week, but he will not lose you the week. All right, we have injury updates. T.J. Hockinson will not be on a snap count and is expected to play for the Vikings. T.J. Hockinson back in there, and then Isaiah Pacheco. Will not be on a snap count, awesome.

This is great. So can you start him this week? I would not do it. I'd try to wait a week. I would start him over Zachary. Hmm, not me. I'm okay with that call. Okay.

Like what about Dalton Kincaid, Jay? No, oh, Dalton Kincaid, gosh. Yeah, I think I would. I think I would start him over Dalton Kincaid. I would not start him over Cade Otten or some of the really good matchup and opportunities like all the starts of the week we talked about. I wouldn't put him there. And I don't think you have to force Hawkinson in your lineup, but there are teams that have been holding on to him that have been playing this, you know, tight end roulette and they've got Hunter Henry on the roster in a bad matchup.

The Minnesota Vikings offense has been really good. Darnold has been balling. They have been using the tight end position and they have given Hawkinson enough time to recover. If he's not on a snap count and that's official, I would throw him in the lineup. We're going to jump into parlay-partay this week. It's been a clown show. Goodness. Let's go over, let's represent this with a shot of the Deuce or the Valley. You guys are representing us today. we three clowns thank you for taking this

one on our shin our stunt doubles our stunt doubles over there and deuces alley we did not have who's who then Falcon I'm clearly jay okay Jeremy and me are attached to I guess you get Josh with the beard. I get the Falcon. Makes sense, but Jason is the oldest, so he's probably Josh. Nah, that's stuff, yeah. I'm Jeremy.

Or no, you're Jeremy. Yeah. All right, whatever, I'm Josh. Yep, yep, lucky you. This week, here's the picks. I've got Kyler Murray over 200 passing yards, been playing really good football. He's at home, He averages 244 at home

I know it's the Bears, but I think the Cardinals are gonna get it done in this one Now they're one and a half point home favorites. He averages 250 and Cardinal wins So I think he's gonna be 230 to 250 in this game if not higher Yeah I have Devon a Chan over three and a half receptions when I was preparing for this The line was originally set at four and a half from DraftKings, and I was fine taking that. I was going to officially take over four and a half. It was plus odds, which isn't, you know, I mean, better payout, but like not as expected. And I was fine taking over four and a half at three and a half.

I mean, in three starts, he has seven, seven, and six receptions, not just targets. This is a schematic thing where the Bills give up a lot. And one of those games where he had seven was the Bills. Yeah, and speaking of that, of teams allowing running back receptions, the Jacksonville Jaguars are allowing, or they're tied for the most running back receptions allowed. That's why I'm going Saquon Barkley over two and a half. He's only hit that mark a couple times this year, but he has the fourth highest route participation and the matchup says I think we can get to two

and a half. Yeah so we need three catches for Barkley. Let's get them crowns on. Alright that was Fantasy Forecast presented by DraftKings. Pick six.
