Starting point is 00:00:00 The Fantasy Footballer Studio is sponsored by Walmart. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Friday, September 26th, the fantasy footballers podcast. One more show before the weekend, more matchups. We've got the wheel of shame coming your way, Jason. Oh, yes. To get things started on the right foot. I mean, we, I rushed the producers to hit.
Starting point is 00:01:00 the record button today because I did not want to have the overflow of all of last night's activities from the Thursday night football game. I didn't, I just didn't want to have those conversations off the air. We walk in the door. I want to make sure that we get to have those conversations right here right now because last night's game was outrageous.
Starting point is 00:01:20 What was that? What was that? Yeah, I mean, it was stupid. It was a roller coaster. It was a I thought I would come in here today. I'd already thought about this. We get three quarters into the game. Marvin Harrison has caused two overt interceptions, looked incompetent on route concepts, looked
Starting point is 00:01:39 like a man who had had every ounce of confidence siphoned out of him. That was a broken man. Completely broken man who was, and the Cardinals offense as a, I mean, it's very clear and it makes perfect sense.
Starting point is 00:01:57 Without Marvin Harrison, this offense is horrific. Like, without that functioning as part of Arizona, you can't just throw underneath the Trame McBride. It was so easy for the defense of Seattle to not worry about playing anything over the top, no big threats,
Starting point is 00:02:13 nothing on the outside. I mean, God bless Michael Wilson and whoever that new guy was that I've never seen before. That is funny. I literally, Weaver? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I don't know you.
Starting point is 00:02:26 I was listening to the very, I was on the radio from the very beginning of the game. And when I heard Weaver's out wide, I was like, oh, so the Seahawks, or? They have the ball? Wait, who is Weaver? So through three quarters, and I was at, I'm taking my son, he's got like a sports thing, and I'm watching the game
Starting point is 00:02:45 at an outback, not a sponsor. I was with Papa Josh. We're watching the game. Papa Josh is like, oh, you traded for Marvin, you have the best luck in the world, he's going to go off. Yeah, I didn't really look that way for about three quarters. I mean, it was immediate. There was an immediate Marv stopped on a route, and I don't know if he would have, what would have happened had he not stopped.
Starting point is 00:03:08 He might have, but he stopped his route, and it was a pass right to the defender because Marv was not there. And it was like, no way. No way that just happened immediately. And then it got worse, way worse. A Kyler perfect pass to Marv's hands where he caught the ball. And then was like, I forgot how I got bloop do doodoo doodoo. It's like the popcorn,
Starting point is 00:03:33 the lady holding the popcorn just tripping in the lobby. So you're, and this is all on, you know, this is an island game. This is prime time television. As a Cardinal fan,
Starting point is 00:03:42 I thought I was going to come in here and stare at this and just have a moment of just, you're the broken man. It almost made me violently ill. Yeah. Like it was, I was nauseous with how embarrassing this performance was. And then.
Starting point is 00:03:56 then the fourth quarter happened. Then the fourth quarter happens. Marvin Harrison catches a outstanding It was a fantastic touchdown catch over their best defensive back and how he puts it, you could see
Starting point is 00:04:11 the relief. Yeah. On his face. I've never ever in the 20 years of watching NFL seeing a man catch a touchdown down two scores and take a knee to cry or I don't know if tears came, but it was clearly a an overwhelming emotional moment.
Starting point is 00:04:28 I like to think he's crying the cat out. That's my hope. There is hope. There really is hope because of that, the fourth quarter. The fourth quarter actually gives you hope for Marvin Harrison, Jr. I'm playing Mike in fantasy. Mike told me that when I went into the fourth quarter, my team's projection was 77 points.
Starting point is 00:04:48 Because Kyler had a point, Marv had a point. I ended with like 104 point production. Your projection is up almost. 30 points. I mean, it was, because the fourth quarter gets going, Kyla rips off a 30-yard run. Yeah, that was nice. And I'm like, oh, goodness, gracious. And you are in this place of, you want the Cardinals to succeed. It's a, it's a weird thing. So I, when you're, when you're watching a football game and you're playing fantasy football, there's four quarters, everyone. I know we all want to react to the three quarters,
Starting point is 00:05:21 like, okay, just call it, it's done. I, the three-quarter. I was living my best life, my two main leagues, one of them against the Marv Stack, the other I'm playing an owl in our main dynasty against J.S.N. and Trey Benson. J.S.N. has done nothing. And then the fourth quarter happens. And all these guys are just scoring points nonstop. So let the whole game play out before we make our final decisions on what has happened. It really is a microcosm of all of society's ills. We have immediate reaction. We want to call it. Yeah, I mean, I tweeted.
Starting point is 00:05:57 I mean, I think I ping ponged between best team on Earth, worst team on Earth, worst team on Earth. The summary of this game, Arizona ends up scoring with 28 seconds left, not kicking the ball into the landing zone, giving the Seahawks the ball at the 40. Bing, bang, boom. Games over. Jason was so frustrated with clock management. Because it was. It was unacceptable. It was amateur Bush League clock management.
Starting point is 00:06:23 You were under two minutes left in the game on. their 30 yard line. Like, you're not, you're not not getting the touchdown and then stopping them with two timeouts left and then getting the ball back. And like, this is your only chance to win the game is this drive. You're in the 30. There's two minutes left. You're on the other side of the two minutes. And they're doing a hurry up. Yeah. Oh, they're doing a hurry up. We got to make sure we got as much time left on the clock as possible. For what? For the other team to have a chance? If you go score, you know they get the ball, right? Freaking idiot. I was so frustrated.
Starting point is 00:06:57 There was a point after the two-minute mark when they were doing the hurry. Now, the hurry-up was working for them on offense, so I got that part. But there was a point where it's like almost somebody called down from the Madden booth. There was like someone that called down because all of a sudden they were taking time. Yes. Well, they got close enough. They got like inside the 10 and they're like, oh, guys, guys, did you know they're going to get the ball if we score? We should run the ball.
Starting point is 00:07:20 Like, yeah, thank you. Also, make sure you don't put your best running back on the field when you want to run the ball. You want to know why, though, right? Please. I know you guys were kind of in love with my dynasty team. Trey Tucker, Hunter, Henry. Oh, yeah. Dynasty, man.
Starting point is 00:07:34 You don't like Ayonaner. I played Imari DiMarcato last night. Oh, my goodness. You got a touchdown. And I got a touchdown. It's so stupid. I don't want to, we have eight matches to get through. We have so much to talk about.
Starting point is 00:07:47 But I need to talk about the other side of this coin here. You know, Kyler ends up okay. Marvin, good game, six for 66 and a touchdown. Morgan, I'm based. by the way I am really like on a human level I'm so happy for Marvin to have that moment sure because I really did feel
Starting point is 00:08:02 for him like this if you end that game the way the first three quarters go this is just it's a lot it's a lot and I don't know how recoverable that is probably retire the but before you jump to the other side the Trey Benson and if you played him last night I know you're disappointed
Starting point is 00:08:17 as an Arizona Cardinal fan I was disappointed they didn't go back to him more he ended up eight for 35 on the ground, five for 19 through the air. He has juice. I like the five catches. And he can make something happen. And I think much, much better things are going to happen for Trey Benson very soon. I don't think he played a single like two-minute no. He's not the two-minute guy, which is a huge problem for fantasy football, but he is talented and he was used in the James Connor role. So he will be a valuable running back to most
Starting point is 00:08:52 of the time. And if by the end of the year he can kind of get involved in the two-minute drill, because he's obviously got the passing chops, then he'll be able to squeak his way to a running back one. I also want to talk about my thoughts on our thoughts on Kenneth Walker. He's very good.
Starting point is 00:09:08 Kenneth Walker is the best worst player ever. Totally agree. He really, really, like on an internet, the disconnect between fantasy and reality on Kenneth Walker is so extreme because if you watch Kenneth Walker, nobody like you can say oh
Starting point is 00:09:23 Zach Sharpen he doesn't he got stuffed at the line kids Walker's like got 20 lost 7 got 25 lost 5 this guy is and then he had the bad penalty the mental mistake there but it's like he is simultaneously the best and dumbest player
Starting point is 00:09:41 I've ever seen always trying to break the bigger run and costing his team I think there were three or four separate times they were in second and 15 second and 16 because of Ken Walker. Yeah, 100%. I mean, that's why they're happy when they give the ball to Charbonnet and he gets two yards. Because it's like,
Starting point is 00:09:57 ha, ha, ha, all right, positive. It's, and it's, what's weird about it is, I don't disagree. There's so many runs where you're like, dude, what's going on? But the problem is he's too good? Like, when he runs in and he gets stuffed, like,
Starting point is 00:10:13 Charbonnet just goes, falls down. Kenneth Walker bounces off of people. And you're like, your job is to stay on your feet, but it ends up costing him. I'm not disagreeing with that, but it's just, it's so funny to me of his talent level to keep his balance and stay up costs him yards because he bounces backwards. I mean, I agree. Sharbonet had another, a second, he had a touchdown last night, he had a second one called back. If I walked away from that game, do I want to trade
Starting point is 00:10:42 more for Ken Walker or Charbonnet? It's actually Charbonnet for me. Ken Walker looked great on certain plays. It's going to be weird all years, my opinion on that one. Sure. Jay ESN was getting shut out, ends up four for 79. You saw some flashes from Elijah Arroyo in this game. AJ Barner had a touchdown Cooper Cup and Tori Horton. Pretty much nothing from them. Horton had a real chance at a big touchdown opportunity. They were mostly playing 12 personnel.
Starting point is 00:11:11 Yeah, you were talking about that. Oh, Tori Horton, because he's not on the field because their plan was we need to have two tight ends out there. Which is also, I mean, it's why Tori Horton was a little bit of a question mark on adding him because Cooper Cups not going away. So, all right, we are going to move on. Foot Clan Friday.
Starting point is 00:11:37 All right, the weekly giveaway winner for our Foot Clan Friday segment this week, a $100 gift card to Fantasychamps.com goes to happy campers. Happy campers from Join thefoot.com. Congratulations. now. Yeah, $100 happier.
Starting point is 00:11:53 All right, let's talk some news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by Progressive Insurance. Jaden Daniels. Uh-oh. Not spotted at practice on Friday after a limited session on Thursday. The game opened at Washington minus three. It is now Atlanta minus one and a half.
Starting point is 00:12:18 Yeah, four and a half point swing. means the quarterback has changed. And I don't think that we should be expecting Daniels to be the starting quarterback, which makes Marcus Marietta a fine pickup and stream option. Bill Kroski didn't practice? He, yeah, he didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday
Starting point is 00:12:35 with a sore knee. We are getting reports. They're filtering in right now that he is on the field. Just to hang out or are we doing some football? Well, the latest report I'm seeing here is, Jacori Kroski, Merritt, is on the practice field. special teams work. So right now he's not doing much. So it's a
Starting point is 00:12:54 we still don't know. We still don't know what's going on with this. Bill. We need more out of you. It's hard to make the great Chuck Norris jokes when you... What's a Chuck Norris joke? Whoa. What are you even talking about?
Starting point is 00:13:12 What is that? It's a Bill Kroski joke. I don't even know who that was. Oh, Bill. Get on the field. So if Bill's not there, how should we be bullish on Chris Rodriguez? Probably. Volume anyways. Yeah. Terry McLaren did not practice either, not spotted on Friday and pretty sure Terry McClure is not going to play football. No, everything that is being reported right now is that there's good news for Terry
Starting point is 00:13:35 McLaurin. He isn't going to need surgery. So I mean, when the news is breaking like, hey, he's gotten like eight opinions. It's the Tucker Kraft. And he's not getting surgery. It really seems like he's not going to play. But you're right. Tucker Kraft then played. Yeah, I don't. I think Terry's not going to play. Just saying of the...
Starting point is 00:13:52 The reporting is being real weird right now. Well, they... Yeah, yeah. We're just hopeful it's not going to be long-term for him. Well, this sentence doesn't make sense. It can't possibly mean what it says. Bucks wide receiver Chris Gaudwin did not practice Wednesday after being a full participant on Wednesday. I believe it was Thursday.
Starting point is 00:14:11 Did not practice Thursday. Thursday. But part of his ramp-up process. That's what it sounded like. so okay like monitor chuba because he was added to the injury report on Thursday
Starting point is 00:14:26 he was like he practiced limited but he was added with a calf injury never like a later week new addition to the injury report is that maybe pick up Rico yeah you might want to insure yourself sure what else do we have guys
Starting point is 00:14:43 the Devante Adams hasn't practiced Wednesday or Thursday with the hamstring As a veteran, I'm still not, like, I still think there's a chance he's fine and they're just going to manage it, but you don't like to see it. No, you'd like to, you need at least a limited today. Yeah, Wednesday, I don't give two farts about, but missing a Thursday entirely is, it's not good. He wouldn't be doing that if he was healthy, right?
Starting point is 00:15:06 Like, he's not just completely not practicing Thursday for rest. John Jennings did not practice on Wednesday or a Thursday. If Jennings were to miss again, DeMarcus Robinson will be playing football this week. potentially with Brock Purdy. He did not suffer an injury. He was suspended. Looked good in preseason. Very capable dart throw type of player.
Starting point is 00:15:26 Yeah, 100% available. Still not rostered in a single league. Well, he's in one. My Dynasty League, baby. You know he's scoring. He's your best player. He's probably my best player, 2 and 0 last week. Xavier Worthy, full participant on Wednesday and Thursday.
Starting point is 00:15:41 Justin Fields, full participant on Thursday. Seems like Justin Fields will start on Monday. Yeah, that's, Usually what happens, and we won't know, what we should know by Sunday, but when they are ramping up and progressing through the practice schedule, like they have to do in order to clear concussion protocol, usually that means they'll clear. That was news and notes, sponsored by Progressive Insurance, quote today at progressive.com, progressive casualty insurance company,

All right, into the forecast, we go. Fantasy Forecast, presented by prize picks. All right, we covered the Vikings, Steelers, commanders, Falcon, Saints, Bills, Browns, Lions, Panthers, Patriots, Chargers, Giants, Eagles, Buccaneers on yesterday's show. We'll start here. Ew.
Starting point is 00:16:37 That's where we're starting? Well, yeah, we are because we are fighting. That's what 0.6 means to me. We're fighting for our first win of the season, Tennessee at 0.3, Houston at O'N3. Vegas line Houston minus 7 over under 39 and a half. You don't usually see a minus 40 with a team favored by a full touchdown. That means the Titans are projected for 16 points on the road against a very good Houston Texans defense. Yeah, play the Houston D.
Starting point is 00:17:05 For sure. Cam Ward, the lowest completion percentage in the NFL right now, 15 sacks taken in three games on pace to take a record amount of sacks. No, come on, man. Yeah. he doesn't look good he i remember after week one there was like mixed kind of mixed denver signals yeah it was like some people were saying cam looked so good and i was like i feel like we watch different he did not look good he was missing passes like crazy and i mean he has shown a flash here or there a play you know the the the play where he rolls
Starting point is 00:17:35 to the right and throws across his body and has a touchdown to iomanner he he has some special moments but consistency is everything for a quarterback and honestly he's consistently not great so far taking the rookie lumps right now Tony Pollard is averaging 20 opportunities a game he is and playing well yeah just not doing a ton for fantasy yeah he did score last week to finish inside the top 15 for the first time 16 for 45 this is going to be a tough one for him I don't I mean the matchups just going to be tough if I'm Houston Pollard is the number one and number two player I focus on and I make Cam Ward
Starting point is 00:18:15 try to complete passes. So I am worried about the ceiling on this game. Do you guys? I do not disagree. For sure. Like speaking of ceiling problems, Chase Brown or Tony Pollard? Pollard. I think that's yeah, it would be Pollard for me. Chase Brown has
Starting point is 00:18:29 a bad matchup too. What about Trayvion? Taking a shot against Carolina. I would play Henderson. Yeah, I think that there's more upside there. If you don't want to get shut out, like you're a heavy lead type of situation, I think Pollard is safe. Yeah, that's fine. Nick Chubb on the other side gets opportunities, doesn't do much with him, but this is maybe a game at home where you could look at with the heavy favorite situation, he's maybe better?
Starting point is 00:18:54 Yeah, for sure. This is a matchup where I think he projects to be good. I mean, the truth is he should either be good at the end of this week. Like, oh, yeah, he had, you know, 70 yards and a touchdown. They're going to be hopefully their offense should be able to have. have little signs of life here at home, favored by a touchdown against Tennessee Titans. And if they're up, they'll continue giving the ball to Chubb. He'll have touchdown opportunities. The only reason I don't think it, like if at the end of this week we're like, man, well, Chubb's done would be because they continue the Woody Mark's volume. You know, he's been going up and up and up and snaps. And so maybe in this game, this is his breakout game. That's my only hesitation. Otherwise, Chubb should be good. What about the, would you go Nick Chubb? or would you go Kroski Merritt?
Starting point is 00:19:47 Definitely Nick Job. I mean, I don't know what's going on with that injury. Yeah, Kroski's hard to even make a prediction right now on a Friday. Nico Collins, play him, of course. Don't play your Tennessee wide receivers right now. If you do play one, because you want to, I-O-Manner. It is. It's I-O-Manner.
Starting point is 00:20:05 And Christian Kirk is a dart throw. Calvin Ridley has vanished into his cash. Yeah. I mean, he's back to where we were with Levis, honestly, which is constantly targeted, pretty ugly targets, balls not near his hands. Yeah, it's not good. I mean, honestly, in this game,
Starting point is 00:20:25 it's Nico Collins is a must start, and then you have two running backs options. You might have better options. Pollard, on one side, chub on the other, and then check out. Stop talking about this game. Yeah, next. All right, these teams have better records.
Starting point is 00:20:37 The Colts. I am so excited for this game. Colts are 3 and O, Rams are 2 and 1. just coming off the loss to the Eagles where they had a big lead. Vegas line, Los Angeles, minus three and a half at home over under 49 and a half. That's... There we go. I believe it's the highest of the week.
Starting point is 00:20:53 This is great. And we're going to learn so much about the Colts in this game. You think? I do. The Rams, to me, are one of the elite teams. Watching them play, you know, they took it to the Eagles. They ended up shockingly losing that game, but they are, I think, great on offense and great on defense and well-coached. They have the weapons. And the
Starting point is 00:21:16 Colts have looked, they've looked like an elite team, you know, but they've only played one difficult matchup. Yeah, they're number two. I was going to say in total yards per game right now. So they are an offense that is cruising. You've been able to play Michael Pittman. John and Taylor's been a monster. Tyler Warren. Yes. Is Pittman in this week? Pitman is in. This is a high over under. This is not like I wouldn't. make, he was my start of the week last week. This is just a normal, this is like your average Michael Pittman game. He'll finish as the, as the wide receiver 24 this week. Okay. So that's, I mean, that's, I was hoping for more than an average pitman game. Yeah. Well, you're not going to
Starting point is 00:21:58 get it in this one. You're going to get an average pitman game, which is a, which is a necessary start in fantasy. Yeah. If you look at his entire, is this like a career average? Because that would be 10.3 points per game. That is exactly what he scores in this. game. Half PPR 10.3. Okay. 10.3 on the dot. You heard it here. First. Daniel Jones, you can play him? I guess so. It's almost like, how can you not play him? But how can you play him? But how can you play him? Exactly. You know it's a real Strunger's cat situation. There's going to be a, we knew it. But maybe. There wasn't with Sam Donald last year. We kept waiting. And it was just like he was good. And Daniel Jones has looked so good. His pass. He's ripped. He's
Starting point is 00:22:41 him he's staying in the pocket he's moving around he's running like there's been no film of daniel jones it's like well he got lucky he's he hasn't been playing well he can only play the defense as he's he's been scheduled against so far and and one of them was the denver defense when he was a top six quarterback do you remember do you remember i wasn't sure if we were going earthwind and fire michael jackson no we we did it together we we all jumped in a time machine a couple weeks ago before the season started. Right. I remember that. And we had to, not a lot of room. And it was who's going to be, who's Sam Darnel? Remember my answer? Was it? Was it Daniel Jones? Good answer. Good answer. You remember Andy's answer? I'll start. Sam Darnal. Sam Darnold.
Starting point is 00:23:26 Good answer. He's really nailing the Darnold this year. Darnold? I think Donald's good. He might be good. Turns out. Do you remember when Malik neighbors said quarterback wasn't the problem? When they moved off of Daniel Jones? And he was adamant. He was like, guys, I'm telling you, the quarterback isn't the issue. And they're like, well, what is the issue? And he was like, he knew and he's like, I'm not. Yeah, it's up for you to figure out. Yeah. We're all trying to figure out who did this.
Starting point is 00:23:51 Yeah, no. Do you remember when Carolina had Sam Darnold and Carolina had Baker Mayfield? And they were like, man, we can't figure this quarterback position out. Sorry, Panthers. It's a good point. I can't wait for Bryce's next team. Oh, my goodness. Tyler Warren, by the way, here are all the whiteouts and tight ends in the NFL with more yards
Starting point is 00:24:10 after the catch than Tyler Warren. No. No, that's not true. No, I just read the whole list. You're telling me that yards after the catch, rookie tight-in, Tyler Warren is number one, including wide receivers. According to Kyle.
Starting point is 00:24:28 Technically, Kyle's telling you that. I want to make sure if it's wrong, but that's the case. That's impressive. You're not playing any other wide outs or taking shots on other whiteouts in Indianapolis. Just stick with the tight end and Michael Pittman. Uh, yeah, the, I mean, I like the note here that is written DFS at 9 Mitchell. Because it's, I'm not going to recommend, hey, pick them up and play them in your redraft leagues. Maybe if you're in a super, super deep, maybe you're in a chopped league and you're like, I don't have a guy.
Starting point is 00:24:56 80 Mitchell might be on your waiver wire. And the reason. And Alec Pierce is out with a concussion. And the Alec Pierce role has, like, it's, it's giving us some production. Alec Pierce is the most unsung good player in the NFL. He never gets credit for anything. I mean, he was 68 yards, 67 yards the last two weeks. And got hurt in one of them.
Starting point is 00:25:17 So Pooka's in your lineup. Devante Adams, watch for the injury situation. Jason's start of the week if he's healthy. Suppose he's the sit of the week if he's injured. Yeah, if he doesn't play, please do not start him. If he doesn't practice today and you're like game time decision for Adams, and then he's active. So if he is active after basically not practicing this week, he will move down drastically, but he's not a must binge. He's still very good. But if I've got another good option, like if I was looking at Devante Adams or Michael Pittman, I'm obviously starting Devante Adams if he practices right now. But if he doesn't practice the whole week and I've got a guy like Pittman, I'd be like, what I don't want to have happen is Adams go out there, try out the hamstring two snaps in. He's like, oh, that's tight. I'm going to take this one off.
Starting point is 00:26:03 Should have just played Marv. Good. The amount of people in third quarter of just getting tweet. Like, I even tweeted, I tweeted, hey, you know, I'm like, on behalf of Arizona. Yeah. Oh, yeah, dude. I am so sorry that you're having to watch. And dude, the responses are so funny because people are like, yeah, you should be.
Starting point is 00:26:23 You're like, okay, take it. It's a joke, my guy. Take it easy. I had somebody after the game be like, imagine starting that stack, you clown. I was like, this stack was great. Yeah. That stack was awesome for me. It ended up being a good play. It was good. All right. Let's take a break. We'll talk about our next matchup. Called you a clown.
Starting point is 00:26:48 Yeah. I mean, it's okay. It's okay. I was putting the makeup on for three-quarters. So I washed it off late. But I mean, by the way, thoughts on the rivalry jerseys for the Cardinals? Because I was a big fan. I was a huge fan. I love it. I love the helmet. Yeah. I like the, you're wearing the cap. I like the caps.
Starting point is 00:27:09 The jerseys. You don't like the sand speckle mold on there? It's, I don't know. I'm still TBD on it. Yeah, all right. Jacksonville 2 and 1, San Francisco, 3 and 0. Vegas line, San Fran, minus 3 over under 46.5. I don't know what the Jacksonville Jaguars are.
Starting point is 00:27:27 I feel like, you know, on some levels, on some plays, you know, Travis E.N. being resurrected a bit. You feel kind of good for a minute, but then most of it has been disjointed. Like, targeting Travis Hunter has been a bad bet right now. Five targets of 10 plus yards down the field leading to two picks. No, three picks. One almost interception and a diving incompletion. They want to get Hunter the ball. It's not working.
Starting point is 00:27:56 They want to get Brian Thomas Jr. the ball. It's not working. They're throwing it to them. Like, right now their defense is. you know, holding them up a little bit compared to what it did last year, but do they stand any chance in this matchup? I think they do stand a chance. They have a good defense. Yeah, their defense looks so much better than last year. Last year we were targeting the Jaguars. This is one of those like we're, you know, almost a month into the season. And I believe what I've seen from the Jacksonville Jaguars, you know, Josh Heinz Allen has looked awesome.
Starting point is 00:28:29 And so I, yeah, I mean, this is this is a team that I think can get after Brock. or can get after Mac Jones. We're not 100% sure who's starting right now. I think I expect Brock to play. But we don't know that entirely. And while the Kansas City, or I'm sorry, the San Francisco defense looks, I mean, metric-wise, it's like, oh, Robert Salah, he's resurrected this defense.
Starting point is 00:28:51 They look amazing. You know, they played the Arizona Cardinals offense that, I mean, yeah, you shut them down, but most people have, the Saints pretty much shut them down. You played the Saints. like okay yeah you shut them down but they're the saints everyone's shutting out and yeah and they and they lost bosa so i'm not i honestly there's an opportunity for jacksonville to be all right in this i do so you'd start a tn yes brian thomas yeah britt strange if you need a tight end yeah strange is right
Starting point is 00:29:21 on that uh streaming tight end and we talked about something i mean christian mcalfre right now on pace for 437 touches. Oh my gosh. That would be, um, I guess the question that you have. Don't worry about it. Don't worry about it. Who's getting hurt at his expense right now? Oh gosh. Don't care. Who else? I'll sacrifice him all. I think Pierceall's got it. I mean, he's next man. So what were you going to say, though? Um, but you, you had mentioned like maybe there was a world where they, to keep him healthy this year, they limit his touches. That is definitively answered. No. Hope we can hold up.
Starting point is 00:29:56 so far so good I mean he can We need a little bit better blocking here from that oil line though two out of every five years yeah this might be that year
Starting point is 00:30:05 Demarcus Robinson if Joanne Jinnies doesn't play would be a desperation start there and don't play tangis McBasketball no
Starting point is 00:30:13 and Brock Purdy you're gonna want to give him some time have we heard anything about Georgie Porgy Kittle like I feel like it's gone
Starting point is 00:30:23 complete radio science normally you hear hey I mean George are, man. Yeah, he's on I know. But usually you hear like a, hey, things are looking good for George. A bit a couple more than I are. We'll hear when he, when he comes closer to the four week mark. The only other player that I think is maybe where, if we're, if we're mentioning to Marcus Robinson. Oh, I thought that was a tooting. That makes it a lot worse to me to make that sound.
Starting point is 00:30:43 That was not a toot sound. No? That was a juicy. Yeah. That was a shoot. Yeah. Whoops. You gambled lost. Yeah. No, shooting. But Parker Washington had 11 targets last week and Diami Brown is not going to be active he's... Is he? Like, let's double check on Diami Brown. He was limited in practice. He's got the shoulder injury. I mean, I guess maybe he plays, but I'm expecting
Starting point is 00:31:08 him to not. So in a full PPR league that's deeper. It's probably a better play than Travis Hunter. Because Travis Hunter's playing 53% of the snaps last week. It's gone down three straight weeks. Parker Washington's gone up. If Diami Brown's out, then I think he's a better play than Hunter.
Starting point is 00:31:24 And Coach Cohen did come out and say that if Diombi Brown misses time, that doesn't mean more for Travis Hunter. If Parker, Washington would take that spot. Yeah. No, that's, I think, what would happen. So Baltimore 1 and 2, Kansas City
Starting point is 00:31:40 1 and 2 games at Arrowhead. Amazing. I'll jump in real quick, Andy, I'm not going to hit the button, but Dan Quinn did just rule out Terry and Jaden. Okay. So they're both out. Yeah. Betts just posted it. It's all
Starting point is 00:31:56 I'll get a confirmation on that, but be prepared. How many completions in that game for Marcus Marietta? Ooh, how many. How many completions do you think? What was he in last week? I feel like he's going to have like 16 completions. He was 15 of 21 last week. Now they're not favored.
Starting point is 00:32:18 Last week heavily favored. I think maybe 18ish. Okay, how many of, how does it break down? Position-wise. you're this is a debo question you're trying to you're you're you are just trying to see how many targets well well yeah or it's like if it's is playable if you look at the the offense and i'm trying to manage marcus mariotta the thing i'm doing is design plays to my best players and you're running out of them yeah and i'm just going to try and run a ton you don't have
Starting point is 00:32:50 Beckler to throw two. You don't have McLaurin to throw two. Maybe McNichols is, you know, he didn't get any targets. Well, yeah, they didn't need them. They were blowing him out, but I don't look at him as the past catching back. McNichael? No. Who do you look at? Yeah, who? Well, I mean, he's just not on the field enough. That's all I'm saying is just like, yeah, if you were playing them on third downs regularly, what was this snap percentage last week? McNichols last week. And this is a blowout game. I mean, he's a 36%. I mean, to me, that's way too scared. Yeah, well, I mean, this was also under the pretext that if Bill misses the game. Oh, it was? Yeah, I would say if it's, if it's Chris Rodriguez, we talked earlier in the news like, if Bill didn't go, is Chris
Starting point is 00:33:33 Rodriguez a must start? And I was saying, is it if Bill isn't there? Is it Chris or is a different discussion? That's a totally different discussion. That was what I'm, yeah, I thought we were talking about what he had said, which was McLaren and, uh, Jayden, It's a good sign that if they're coming out and ruling those players out that they're not ruling Bill Crosky out. Ravens, Chiefs, At Arrowhead, Baltimore minus two and a half, overrunners 48 and a half. Okay, here we go. Kansas City's
Starting point is 00:34:01 won five of the six matchups between Lamar and Mahomes, including the playoffs. When this game, somebody said, hey, it's Baltimore, Kansas City. I didn't know right away where the game was. I just said, I'm going to take the home team in this matchup. I feel like that's the differentiator. Baltimore's favorite here.
Starting point is 00:34:19 Two and a half points. That is, that's wild to go on the road. I mean, Baltimore is a better roster right now. You look at the Chiefs, they've got a great defense. You look at the Ravens, they've got a good defense. There's a lot of personnel on both sides here. You look at the two offenses, and Baltimore has been on fire, and the Chiefs have been struggling, struggling to move the ball.
Starting point is 00:34:43 So I understand why the Ravens are favored from a, personnel standpoint, but this is tough to go on the road in Arrowhead after a, you know, a slug fest against the Lions. I'm with you, Andy. I'm picking the Chiefs on this side. Yeah, I've been, I've been disappointed with the Ravens defense, to be honest with you. Well, sure. They've given up like over 100 points. Yeah, to me, they're like, sometimes they look really good. Sometimes they break, I think on the road in Arrowhead, that noise. I think that the chiefs can get it done. Now, this is all. outside the context of fantasy.
Starting point is 00:35:18 Like the game has a high over-under. I'm looking at this game. You're obviously playing the stars in this game. Lamar Jackson's in your lineup. Derek Henry's in your lineup. Say Flowers should be in your lineup. Don't worry about last week. They ran very few plays.
Starting point is 00:35:30 And the way that that game went, you know, it was, you know, Derek Henry had a huge role in that offense. You got the Mark Andrews involvement. I'm not worried about Zay Flowers personally. Yeah. It does show what can happen, right? He is not an alpha in the prototypical sense, so he does disappear from time to time.
Starting point is 00:35:50 The question then to me is, like, you play those three core players. What do you do with Mark Andrews? Do you chase what you got last week, Jason? You got big AJ Brown, big Mark Andrews last week. Yeah, I think Mark Andrews is playable. I assume that Isaiah likely was going to be back this week, and I think they need likely. Likely's been limited participant in practice, and he hasn't been on the field yet. I would imagine you're going to have full participation in practice before likely actually takes the field in a fantasy football, you know, way where you can start him.
Starting point is 00:36:23 But if likely is out, yeah, I mean, Mark Andrews is fine. You look at last year on the season, the Chief's great defense, the one place that they were exploitable was the tight end position. So he's like in a pinch. Now, I will say this, if it was Andrews or Ertz, I'm going to go Ertz because I'm much more confident. confident that, like, there are game plans where Mark Andrews is just into block. Okay. On the other side, way more complicated, way more challenging. We got a game in which we believe, two of us at least, that the Chiefs can win this game. The Ravens are covered, if you want my opinion on what's happening for the game. Well, they're, they're, okay.
Starting point is 00:37:05 I think the Ravens are going to win this game by at least a touchdown. Okay. So, yeah, your opinion is different. Yes. Got it. Yeah, yeah, no, I mean, it's up in the air. But where does the points come from? Where does points come from? I know. It really is. It's almost like what we've seen from Taekwon Thornton has been so necessary for the, the chiefs that he might be the only player I want to play. I mean, I think maybe you've got to keep playing. Desperate flex, double flex situation. Yeah, but you think he's up above that? He shouldn't be. No, he shouldn't be. because you're going to need a big play. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:37:45 And you're in the, I mean, Trey Tucker or Taekwon Thornton this week. What would you do there? That's the category. I'd, I think I'd go Thornton. I'm going to go Thornton. Yeah, I mean, I might,
Starting point is 00:37:57 I might not go either one. Because the thing is, is like, the Chiefs, do the Chiefs come out of this game? I have to imagine, is this prime time? No.
Starting point is 00:38:07 Oh, wow. Crazy. The Ravens, that arrowhead and they don't prime time that um it's just like one of those things where mahomes will hit some big play like it always happens and i just don't know that there's anybody else to hit it with where are you with travis kelsey in a start sit perspective this week because the people want to know it's a big name on your bench and you're sitting there going do i really play erts do i really play henry hunter henry do i play harold fanon do i play laporta like where are you
Starting point is 00:38:37 with kelsey i'm playing all i'm playing basically all those people you just named I mean, Zach Ertz is available, and I would play Zach Ertz over him. Even with Mariotta. Even with Marietta, because you don't have Terry McClure in there. And like you said, if he completes 18 passes, how many are going to Earth? You know he's going to be involved. Ferguson, Kincaid, both ahead of him. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:38:58 Yeah. Yeah, I mean, I think it gets a little bit more murky if you're down in the Mark Andrews decision, Kyle Pitts decision, Brenton Strange decision. Yeah. I'd play him over Strange. Yeah, I'd play him over Strange. I'd play him over Pitts. Okay.
Starting point is 00:39:12 Anybody else at the, I mean, we avoided running backs for the chiefs? Yeah, you should not. Is that strategic? If you're going to start one, it would be Hunt. I think you're looking for touchdowns. You should have gone DeMarcato. Yeah, that's tough. I didn't even rediscover that I started demarcado until after that game.
Starting point is 00:39:33 Otherwise, I would have lost my mind during it. Chicago, Raiders, one and two, both of these squads. we had we have the Raiders one and a half point home favorites the over under is 47 and a half the line has jumped back and forth the Bears looked really good last week but they're on the road here
Starting point is 00:39:51 and you know I think this game has the potential to be very good for fantasy personally I think that the Chicago defense has been really bad they've lost pieces we know that Jalen Johnson is getting core muscle surgery now Chicago has given up a
Starting point is 00:40:10 lot of yards. You know, Gino Smith's been willing to throw the ball down the field. You have a game I'm pretty excited about for fantasy. Yeah, I would agree. I think... Who are your locks in this game? Caleb Williams.
Starting point is 00:40:27 Caleb, okay. I thought we were talking to the Raiders. Raiders side... Both sides. Yeah, both sides. Like, if Gentie has a down week this week, then I will start to be concerned. yeah I told a lot of people to go pick him up and I'm I'm for that decision of if you can go get a workhorse running back who's just underperforming but if you can't perform in this matchup then then you'll be like when when will it actually happen when could it actually happen yeah the principle behind acquiring gentie is that if you keep giving Ashton Genty 15 plus opportunities a week you'll be happy with Ashton Genty that's the principle yes but we need the outcome to match.
Starting point is 00:41:13 And I love Jacoby Myers. He's my start of the week. And Brock Bowers, Brock Bowers should be back to what you're used to. Yeah, I mean, you got Michael Mayer still working through his concussion, didn't participate in practice this week, so he probably won't be active. Bowers is now, you know,
Starting point is 00:41:34 going to be three weeks removed from the initial knee injury that he's been playing through. So Bowers is a lock. Adunze is a lock A doones A is absolutely a lock right now There's a lot of fantasy The running backs though on Chicago This is an area where the Raiders so far
Starting point is 00:41:48 I've been very good in terms of not giving up a lot of fancy points to running backs Do you play Swift I mean because of the running back landscape He is just outside of my top 24 Just outside the top 24 Yeah Tony Pollard
Starting point is 00:42:05 Tony Pollard or DeAndre Swift Pollard I'm Pollard there as well Trayvion Henderson That one's tough The known work for Swift I'm just so afraid Like logic and rational coaching
Starting point is 00:42:20 Says hey Henderson gets chances What if he has three chances It's in the range of outcomes I'm going to take my three chances On a big play Well we haven't Yeah So you'd play them over Swift
Starting point is 00:42:36 I would. You'd play Henderson over Swift, Jason Moore. All right. Well, I mean, the last two weeks, 12 and 13 touches for DeAndre Swift has not been a ton on the ground. It's been okay. Trey Tucker chasing that three touchdown game, you guys said you'd play Thornton over him. I mean, the thing I'd come back to with Tucker that made me feel more confident was the involvement, the snaps, and the week one where he got into the end zone again.
Starting point is 00:43:03 Gino Smith, we don't know who his favorite targets are on this office. yet, but it was nice to see Tucker involved. The first two weeks, it was Jacoby, and then it was Tray Tucker. Yeah, you got to monitor that. It'd be nice to monitor from the bench, I think. See if you have something more long-term. Yeah. Can you even start DJ Moore?
Starting point is 00:43:21 No. I mean, like, the Packers boys, like, Romeo Dobbs, not golden, obviously, because we're pretty pumped, but Romeo Dobbs in that matchup against Dallas or DJ Moore. Probably Dobbs. Oh, DJ Moore's on pace for 765 receiving yards. I'm going to lean
Starting point is 00:43:44 on the DJ Moore side there, but I think that's a good like, that's where he is now. Yeah. And Gino Smith, would you play him over Baker? There was, we didn't mention it in the news. Baker's managing a biceps injury. Yeah, we did just get an update on that. Bulls was talking about
Starting point is 00:44:00 Baker, Godwin, and Worf's. He said all those guys are questionable, but trending in the right direction. We'll see what happens tomorrow. with Tristan and Chris, Baker should be okay for Sunday. Okay. What's the answer, then, Gino or Baker? Man, it's tough. I personally would go Gino.
Starting point is 00:44:16 I've got him in two different lineups. It feels so scary and stupid, though. Is he your League of Record quarterback this week? He is. I'm playing him over DAC. If C.D. Lamb is ever officially ruled out, and I can change my lineup. Okay. We're holding out hope.
Starting point is 00:44:33 Yeah, this is just an inevitable out, isn't it? Yes, it's just an inevitable out. They were talking about, do we need to put him on the IR? They literally said we're going to reevaluate in two weeks. Doubtful. All right, we will take a break and we'll get into Sunday night, Monday night. Speaking of them, Cowboys, Green Bay travels to Dallas. Green Bay 2 and 1 coming off a loss, Dallas 1 and 2.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Vegas line here, Green Bay minus 7. over under 47 and a half. Dallas is hurting. We've got injuries. C.D. Lamb, we've already talked about it, but you've got your first round guard, likely heading to IR for Dallas. You now lost your center for six to eight weeks.
Starting point is 00:45:22 We talked about it a little bit on the trade episode on Wednesday. The fact that, like, I'm a little worried about Javante long term. Sure. I'm worried about Javante against Green Bay. They have been pretty much a force. They lost a really close game last week, but it wasn't like, I mean, I guess Judkins had a good game against them. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:45:42 But I'm not, I'm not as confident that Giovante gets into the end zone this game. I don't think Javante is as good as Judkins is. Scataboo against the Chargers or Javante against Green Bay. That's a great question. Scataboo. Yeah, go Scataboo. It's not that great of a question, honestly. It's a mediocre question, Mike.
Starting point is 00:45:59 Oh, man. Yeah, I'm sorry. I thought it was at least good. If we had disagreed, it would have been a great question. I think one of the biggest. Travis E.N or Javante Williams. E.T.N. Come up with a good question, Mike. Try to do a good question.
Starting point is 00:46:13 He just has questions. Medium to mediocre. Yeah, mediocre. Brees Hall. Oh, that's a good question. You did it, Mike. Third times to try. You did it. Andy. Breeze Hall. Okay. Cool. Next question. Pollard. Jeremy wants to know Pollard or. Oh, is that? Is it like the standard?
Starting point is 00:46:32 No, I don't have that. I just thought of it. I think that one is a great question, Al. Oh, what? Come on! What? I love that question. It was really well thought out. What?
Starting point is 00:46:44 Yeah, thank you. I will take... I don't want to... Javanti. Yeah, I don't want to say that Javanti is unstartable here. No. This is the running back six through three weeks. He's been very good.
Starting point is 00:46:57 They're going to need him, and his utilization has been awesome. But without the same center and guard he's had with C.D. Lamb removed from, you You know, you're going to have an easier time at the lineup. I hope he can catch some passes. That would make things. And he has been. Yeah, last week you only had 10 attempts on the ground, did not score for the first time on the ground,
Starting point is 00:47:16 ended up at running back 25. I think that's about where I have him slotted in this week. Jordan loves my start of the week. Matthew Golden's my start of the week on the Green Bay side. Josh Jacobs is Jason's start of the year for the rest of the season. So looking forward to seeing how Jacobs breaks out, gets back into the end zone, maybe once or twice. We'll see.
Starting point is 00:47:35 Romeo Dobbs, you can play him. You really can. Yeah. You don't have to be excited about it. Just do it. Tucker Kraft. We finally had a down performance. The knee is hurting.
Starting point is 00:47:47 Well, because he was going to be out for the year. Where's that dog, Mike? He played. Yeah. The dog was on the field. So you can play poorly? Oh, absolutely. He's through injury and be a dog.
Starting point is 00:47:56 If it's a season-ending injury and you play through it, then you're a dog. That, I mean, that stands the reason Mac Jones is a dog. dog, Mike. No, he left. He just, he most guys would have gotten certain. Oh, okay. He still didn't play. Yeah, he left the game. Play George Pickens. He's, he's, I'm like, Pickens is very interesting to me. Yeah, he is. I'm like
Starting point is 00:48:17 scared as all get out right now about Pickens because without CD, like, Pickens was a my guy. Because he was the wide receiver two. Because he was the wide receiver two for this team is, is perfect for him now. It's like, the defense is going, okay, there's, there's pretty much this guy. Over under nine targets. I would take the under on that.
Starting point is 00:48:36 See, I think he's guaranteed nine or more. I'll go over. He's been at nine targets the past two weeks. That's why he picked that. I know. Yeah, yeah. I was letting Jason know that. So you, I mean, all the concerns aside, though, Jason, is he sliding in as more of a wide receiver two for you then?
Starting point is 00:48:51 He is. He is not a must start to me, but he projects to get volume. Jake Ferguson is a must start. Yes, he is. Goodness gracious. The only place that the Packers have really been beat this year is really the tight end position. and Ferguson's going to over under 21 targets. I guess I'll take the push.
Starting point is 00:49:10 Oh, you're pushing. I'll take the under. All right, Monday night football. Do you know we got the double header at, uh, yes, at the different times, but they're still playing at the same time? Just an, in an hour. We've got to stagger them an hour. Split screen, baby.
Starting point is 00:49:24 For what reason? No, I actually, look, look, now that we're, you guys are weird. No, I mean, I hate it. I hate it. It's, it's actually pretty awesome. personally we like you man i mean i'm on youtube tv so it's like i just do the two things am i the only one who hates it uh i like it i like it too okay yeah i'm weird i was with you man the first time they did it i was like but with the split screen where you can just have the audio go back and forth between the two games i love the island games because it's like it's an event
Starting point is 00:49:56 it's isolated attention on twitter we're all you know when game of thrones when you had to watch it live. There's like everyone in the world, we're all watching the exact same thing at the exact same time, and we can have a conversation on Twitter, and it's just fragmented. Don't you have an HOA meeting at that time anyways that you're going to miss this for? Well, I'm running, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:17 Can I count on your vote or what? Yeah, you're the man for the job. No more dual Monday night football. The Jets are 0.3. The dolphins are 0.3. The Vegas line, Miami minus 2 and a half. The overrunder is 45 and a half you look at this division and buffalo could like put on blindfolds and win this division
Starting point is 00:50:34 right now the way those other three teams look we we went into the seasons you know it's like oh you know what the new england they don't they look okay at best yeah okay to bad and then you know buffalo a dominant force again the jets and dolphins are winless um no sideline dance victories yet here for anne glen okay here we go we get to play monday night football we got a 45 and a half point over under. Justin Fields should be back out on the field. The last time we saw him on the field, it was bad. It was against Buffalo.
Starting point is 00:51:07 And I had bought in, so I'm bitter, but. I get it. It was against Buffalo. If the, you're going to want to have some clarity on just for sure knowing that Fields is going to play. But if he's going to play, then I'm starting, I would start him. Does that go, like Baker versus Fields? Or are you talking to a tier below that? like um i would go fields over baker you would yeah yeah that doesn't bother me fields unfortunately going on the road
Starting point is 00:51:35 with some of i mean he was 11 for 27 through three quarters okay yeah but i know it's how was kiler through three quarters no i'm just saying you didn't he didn't play a whole game and 11 for 27 is rough a 39 passer rating is rough i'm not two fumbles that's that's pro look you look at the career there's a lot of that that's all i'm saying like Like I would not play him over Baker.
Starting point is 00:52:01 But that was Buffalo. Right. Not Miami. And the dolphins have lost their secondary. I would. I think I'll take that gamble because Baker against the Eagles with some injuries there. I mean, I get it. It's a gamble, but I think.
Starting point is 00:52:15 If I had that Baker tier, I'm not doing it. So we disagree on that one. Devon A. Chan, Breece Hall. You can play them both. Yep. Garrett Wilson. Yes. Tyree killing.
Starting point is 00:52:25 Yes. The last two weeks he's been viable. Can you start Waddle? I thought you were going to say Waller, and I was like, no. You can't start Darren Waller. I don't know what Darren Waller has done to get this free money. Is Waller potentially actually playing? I doubt it.
Starting point is 00:52:44 I think he's ramping up. They're looking for week 16. He's limited. He's trying to go up that ramp. The world's longest ramp. It was that Red Bull skate ramp. He says he's still on track. to make his debut. He's on track to make his debut in this game. Wow. But it's, it's on Monday. We have
Starting point is 00:53:03 plenty of time for a setback. Trying to channel some energy. So go back to Waddle. Set a touchdown each of the last two weeks. He has five receptions each of the last two weeks. So it's healthy. I'm fine playing him. He's never healthy. Ah, you caught me. Yeah. I mean, he'll go out a couple times in this game. You caught me. I think you can start him. No, I do too. I think. I think he's a flex where the wide receiver two play there are three it was wide receiver three all jokes aside it will be interesting to keep your eyes on darren waller mean who do you think wins this ball get i think the dolphins i think the dolphins win this game going away i think the dolphins win this game by five yeah i i um i guess we'll see the dolphins
Starting point is 00:53:51 are usually if you don't like this game you can watch the other one that's going on at the same time. You look, I got bad news for you. It's the Bengals Broncos. Bangles Broncos? The Mike McDaniel era of the dolphins, the dolphins have looked good against bad teams. That is like their specialty. So if you want to say that the dolphins will have a great game, when going away, I get that. Yeah, they showed them fight against Buffalo last week. You know, that was closer than the final score for sure. Cincinnati 2 and 1 taking on the Denver Broncos in Denver, Denver 1 and 2.
Starting point is 00:54:26 The Vegas line is Denver minus 7.5. The overrunner is 44 and a half. This is not, I won't go almost upset, but I actually think Cincinnati is going to keep the game closer because this is just setting up to be a little bit of a trap, I think, for Denver at home. After how bad Cincinnati
Starting point is 00:54:42 was last week, you know, Bo Nix, independently of, you know, they're 1 and 2, that's a reflection on how he's played. They've been close. He's not been that good. No, he's been really up and down. The Broncos have disappointed me quite a bit.
Starting point is 00:54:58 I mean, they had a game against Tennessee to start the season where they just, they were terrible. They won because it was Tennessee, but they weren't good, and then they've lost their next two games. I'm not sure the Sean Payton play-calling thing is still working the way it used to work. I'm not sure I like everything I'm seeing from a play-calling perspective. Having said that, I like them this week. Yeah, this week, I mean, you should get production. Your start of the week at quarterback. Yep.
Starting point is 00:55:22 Your start of the week at running back and J.K. Dobbins. The world waits for R.J. Harvey to be more involved. The gap in involvement is so vast right now. I don't really see a takeover scenario happening anytime soon, if at all, this season. No reason. Dobbins is playing really, really good football. When you look at the wide receiver room, Cortland Sutton, still sitting right around wide receiver 15 on the year.
Starting point is 00:55:46 Is it Troy Franklin next man up? I think Troy Franklin is. He's still the one with the snaps as the wide receiver, too. So, yeah, he's next man up. He's still playable. Not, I don't know if he's as playable in this matchup. For Troy Franklin? Yeah, I mean, if Andy's right that the, that the Bengals show up and make this a competitive
Starting point is 00:56:06 game, then I'm a little bit more excited for Troy Franklin. Yeah, I think Franklin, to me, is in the watch category still. Yeah, that's where I have them. I can't imagine you have a team that's, I mean, if you're in a super deep league, I guess. We're talking about starting Thornton and Trey Tucker. That's fine. That's fine. You'd play, I would not play Franklin over those two guys.
Starting point is 00:56:25 I would not. He'd be at the third for me. Yeah, I think he's in that same tier. Just because, I mean, just tough. You could get nothing, like you could get zero. We have, by the way, Jake Dobbins is one of only four running backs to be top 15 all of the weeks. James Cook, Bijon, CMC, and J.K. Dobbins.
Starting point is 00:56:48 pretty impressive not impressive chase brown jake browning if brown's in your name scoring points ain't your game oh man so it's such a bummer so far uh week one 43 rushing yards week two 47 rushing yards week three three rushing yards he has not looked good he was never a special enough player to just demand everything. He was opportunity on an incredible offense. The opportunity is still there. He's still getting 15 opportunities this last week. That's enough for fantasy. But if you're on a bad offense. Yeah. And I'm not excited about Chase Brown. The, oh my gosh, their schedule. It's Denver, Detroit, Green Bay are the next ones. Because what I was going to point out, Week one was Cleveland.
Starting point is 00:57:45 Like Cleveland, he put up 43 rushing yards against Cleveland where Derek Henry and Josh Jacobs did Jack Squad against that defense. Then Jacksonville, who J. We agreed that, I think that Jacksonville is a better defense than we got to start reorienting, retrain your brain on that because they were so bad. And then Minnesota, Minnesota won the game with defense. So that's not a, say, to play Chase Brown. that's a Maybe it's not as bad as it's been
Starting point is 00:58:15 Yeah And once we get to like week seven Right but I was going to say this I mean The next three weeks No thank you T Higgins I prefer not
Starting point is 00:58:25 Let's see DK Metcalf Against Minnesota Or T. Higgins Oh Metcalf by a lot Okay Michael Pittman Michael Pittman
Starting point is 00:58:39 pitman uh yeah pitman i mean higgins is bottom of the barrel okay romeo dobs higgins yeah i don't probably play higgins okay and then i'll give you one more bottom of the barrel jerry judy i'll play higgins all right that way i haven't that way i'm not playing judy that's that's not a bad strat all right um some more injury updates before we turn to the fantasy face off jaylon warren's still been limited in practice. Johnny Smith limited. Truba Hubbard listed is questionable with the calf injury.
Starting point is 00:59:12 Ted McMillan, questionable, expecting to play. And Jetavian Sanders and Xavier Leggett ruled out of that game as well as Alec Pierce with the concussion, ruled out so your dart throw, your DFS, Adonai Mitchell, someone you could look at. Looking update,
