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.
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.
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
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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,
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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
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
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,
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,
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
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.
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.

now. Yeah, $100 happier.
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.
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
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
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?
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
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...
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.
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
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
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?
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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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
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
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
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
Demarcus Robinson
if Joanne Jinnies doesn't play
would be a desperation
start there
and don't play
tangis
McBasketball
no
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
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.
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
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.
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
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
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.
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
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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,
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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,
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
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
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
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
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.
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?
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
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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,
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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?
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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
Let's see
DK Metcalf
Against Minnesota
Or T. Higgins
Oh Metcalf by a lot
Okay
Michael Pittman
Michael Pittman
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.
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

The rookie watch of Matthew Golden against Dallas,

devastating. And Ashton Genty
