Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast with your hosts Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

Welcome in. Friday the 13th. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast. I don't even know if that's the right noise. I was counting on it. The right noise for Friday the 13th? Yeah, I should have gone... No, I was counting on it. The right noise for Friday the 13th? Yeah, I should have gone, ch-ch-ch-ch. No, I'm down with it.

Okay, that's pretty good. That is better. That's actually Friday the 13th. That is better. You want to start it over? Ch-ch-ch-ch. Indy Holloway here, Mike the Fantasy Hitman Wright. Who breathes like that?

What is that? That's supposed to be his breath. What sound is that? Because that's the what's yeah what's what sound is that because that's the vorhees sound right that's the music no let's turn to our resident movie expert that's just a sound effect of like from when whenever the camera goes to his view it's giving you the can i tell you something i've never i've never watched any of those oh i hate i hate horror movies those i mean i have no desire to be scared in any way and i know that those are more like yeah there's there's horror movies that are there

to just like scare the crap out of you and those are like a little more cornball campy yeah they're gonna have jump scares in there and just real i just thought that um maybe that maybe the Rapscallion knew something about Jason. Do we have anything on that? Are you a Friday the 13th fan? I'm with Andy on this. I don't really do the horror films. Okay. Yeah.

But I will say there is a key, key, key sound in the Ma Ma Ma. It's some sort of recorded. It is something actually from the movie so it is a sound that the guy makes Jason okay so he's breathing like that yeah I just I just don't understand I mean there's clearly a big desire to be scared

I mean people Brooks do you like the horror films yeah your movie good nah I like a good thriller I like a creepy movie but I don't like jump scares. My line is it's above or below where Sixth Sense is. Sixth Sense is a good movie. It's spooky,

it's scary, but it's not jump scary. I don't know. It's got some jump scares. Do you partake? I'm fine with them. The wife is not, so if I'm going to watch one, it ends up just being me. All alone.

Me all alone. In a dark house. Yeah. I mean, speaking of scary, that football game. Yeah, let's get right into that. I mean, you did not lose on Thursday night to Isaiah Pacheco and Travis Kelsey, but they were the entire offense. Yeah. Moving the team down were the entire offense. Yeah.

Moving the team down inside the 10 for no reason. Going up against Travis Kelsey, you stare at where he's lined up. You track where Patrick Holmes is looking. You go, oh, okay, here comes a Travis Kelsey target. Hopefully there's a defender there. No. No. Never is.

Next time. Maybe there'll be a defender there. No. What are they doing? I know that he's shifty. I have this theory now. Okay. Travis Kelsey doesn't even run routes. No. He doesn one. He gets in the huddle, and they call the play, and he just winks at Mahomes, and Mahomes winks back at him because he knows that Kelsey's just going to go out there and find an empty space and sit down. Did you see the play where Travis Kelsey pointed to a different option? Did you not get to see this? I watched the game. I guess I missed it. It was just a moment where he was, I don't know how many,

seven catches in the first half or something. But he's doing his thing, going out and finding a spot in the zone. And then he realizes he's kind of more covered. So Mahomes, of course, looks right at him, and he just points to the right. And there's Isaiah Pacheco in the flat. No one's covering him. But 19-8, 19-8 uh the chiefs win the game 40 pass attempts for patrick mahomes the broncos defense i mean they they they did show up i mean holding the chiefs to 19 points

on the road the offense was entirely pacheco who pacheco was great on the ground he had six receptions i mean if you're in any kind of half or full point PPR, I think you're pretty happy with what Pacheco did. Of course, you want more. I was happy. I just wanted to annihilate you. Yes, I get it. And it's the Denver Broncos,

so I did fully expect Pacheco to have at least one touchdown. But, I mean, it was them. And then Rasheed Rice. He's good. We highlighted him on the waiver wire of the snaps are not there. Not yet. They're coming. But if anyone's going to break out from this team, it is Rice. And he came through with fourth for 72.

And over the course of the season, I think that he is going to be the one, if any, it could be no one. It could legit be nobody in the wide receiver room, and they keep doing their switching up packages. We highlight Tony here. We highlight Skymore here. But if anyone's going to break out and be a 70% snap type of a player for the Chiefs, I think it would be Rice.

I agree. He looks pretty good. And the offense, I think they need that. They need somebody else. they do like it's one thing to say okay we're going to use mckinnon here and more here and and we'll do a tony play which by the way cadarious tony looks like he has lost a level of speed he was the player you always watch and you're like oh the shiftiness right the speed he looks like he's in a different like a lower gear like he's in a different like a lower gear like it's not he just keeps getting hurt over and over uh i think it's like

permanent now but the uh they need another threat because you can't like a smarter defense is not going to let you throw the ball to travis kelsey i mean i would think but i i would think any defense knows we have to put a player on Travis Kelsey and they would, they, even in the, in the, in the,

the matchups where they had someone like, like certain covered him every once in a while I was watching, but he would never line up on him. He would like be, he would be back. And then Travis Kelsey would. Yeah. I mean,

they just, so the, the cornerbacks going into, into traffic and has to catch up to him. It's like, just put a person on him. I'm crying out loud. Kelsey, still Kelsey for your fantasy team. Rice looks good.

Pacheco was heavily involved. On the other side, it was one of the hardest things to watch, especially for the first half. There was 95 passing yards for Russell Wilson. They never tried to do anything downfield. Pretty much at all. Cortland Sutton had a great touchdown catch on a

play that doesn't succeed for most teams ever. Sutton made a great catch. Jerry Judy is out the door already. I mean, he's gone. He is gone. Oh, man. If he didn't catch the steve smith moment it went it went pretty viral on social media but steve smith was not having any any of anything from

jerry jude third tier third tier it was rough um so look denver den Denver's in the circle of the drain. Maybe Caleb Williams, Drake May, and moving on. And the truth is I wanted to add Marvin Mims and say, in our league of record, I threw him on the roster yesterday, and I'm like, well, they're going to trade Jerry Judy. He's gone. He's out the door. The snaps went down yesterday.

He's clearly being phased out of this offense, and the team has acknowledged they're willing to move him. I think he's going to be out the door. So I'm like, oh, Mims is going to get chances. It doesn't seem like that's the way it's going to be. Fewest routes of the season for Mims. No targets. Javante and McLaughlin kind of split carries.

Javante looked a little better this week. Yes, he did. And the offensive line certainly helped him out. But I think it was nice to see that the fear was that it would be three players. McLaughlin worked his way in, proved

that he needs to get touches for this team, but then you'd still have P. Ryan and Javante coming back. Yes, P. Ryan got some snaps. He got two receptions, but he didn't have a carry. It's just Javante and McLaughlin. So that's at least nice that you know you can your fab

wasn't burned for nothing on McLaughlin. It's not a real high upside play, but when like next week or I don't know if the Broncos are on bye next week, but I'm just saying during a bye week McLaughlin, you could put him in there and just hope that a big play happens because he is a big play waiting to happen.

Yeah, he's fast. He's got juice. Jaleel's got wheels. Yeah, Jaleel's. He can move. All right, we're going to celebrate Friday the 13th. Putt Clan Friday. Congratulations, Trevor.

Trevor wins $100. Spooky dollars. I thought we'd give him $13. Oh, no. Sorry. $100 gift card to FantasyChamps.com. Every Friday we give something away to a JoinTheFoot.com supporter. Trevor, congratulations.

Enjoy. Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by USAA Insurance. All right, Deshaun Monson will not play. Shoulder injury. Okay. That's injury. Okay. That's it.

Okay. Amari Cooper is a nervous start. Yes. We just got word that Mike Evans is a full go for Sunday. That's great news. He was upgraded yesterday in practice. And so Todd Bowles, I think, commented on that. Would you rather play Mike Evans going against the Lions, right,

or take the shot on Amari Cooper? Mike Evans. Okay. Just making sure we're all the way back. T. Higgins, limited practice, still waiting on word. He was interviewed in the locker room, and he said it looks promising that he'll play. Now, it's the player saying it.

I mean, look, aside from Deshaun Watson, usually when you ask a player, they say they're going to play through the injury. So it will be a very, very tough decision to know if you should put T. Higgins out as he has routinely torched people with, I'm healthy enough to go, go out there, one play. I'm not healthy enough to go.

I will be on the bench the rest of the game. If you had Amari Cooper. Oh, Amari Cooper or T. Higgins. We get the news that T. Higgins is a go? Yep. Oh, man, I think I'd play Cooper. That's what I would do. Jeff Wilson, limited on Thursday.

Miles Sanders didn't practice. I think we're going to see a Chuba week. Yep. Khalil Herbert and Roshon Johnson still sidelined. Roshon's the concussion. Today's a big day for Roshon. If he does not practice today, it's going to be Deonta Foreman. Sam Laporta.

This was big news. Yeah. Big names from our matchups yesterday. We found out he tweaked his calf and didn't practice again. I'm not getting a lot of optimism around the situation. His head coach said his status is uncertain, which that's very familiar with what we saw from Amon Ra last week. So have a backup plan.

Jameer Gibbs didn't practice. Seems like he's going to be gone again. Amonrod did full practice. That's great. We got some good news. Yeah, there you go. Daniel Jones didn't practice. He's been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bills.

Tyrod Taylor gets to revenge narrative, right? Right? Taylor doesn't strike me as a revenge guy. No. He's just like a good nice guy he's kind of like uh ryan fitzpatrick played for so many teams like you just have to get rid of the revenge narrative because he's played for most of them saquon limited darren waller limited chris olave back to a full practice okay i feel like there's a lot of news today yeah well it's that time where people are starting to get beat up.

And Brooksy will break in with any other news that comes across his vast marble news desk. We did it. So for T. Higgins, he will be a game-time decision. Okay. Gross. Okay. Gross. All righty. Are we good? Yeah. Let's move on. That's no more news. All righty. Are we good?

Yeah. That's no more news. All right. That was today's News and Notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com slash insurance. Fantasy forecast. Into the forecast we go. Part two. Heading into week six.

Yesterday we covered the Ravens, Titans, Commanders, Falcons, Vikings, Bears, Seahawks, Bengals, 49ers, Browns, Panthers, Dolphins, Colts, and the Beefeaters. The London Beefeaters. Let's talk Saints, Texans, Mike, shall we? DraftKings, sportsbook line. New Orleans minus one and a half. The over-under is just 42.

New Orleans is the only team in the NFL to have all five of their games hit the under. Impressive. If you want to know why Chris Olave has been a little underwhelming, it's just not been a good ride on offense for the Saints. Not what they hoped for when they were acquiring Derek Carr and getting back Michael Thomas this year. And Olave, nice to see him back out there in a full practice. Is he a full play for you?

I assume the answer is yes. Yeah. Okay. Michael Thomas, is he PPR only kind of situation? I'm fine in a half point playing him as a flex player. You're not getting anything special, but he's been very consistently giving you about eight points. Okay.

And sometimes you would like a guy who could give you eight points. Alvin Kamara. In two games, he's received a ton of work right back at it. Last week, I think what was kind of wild and impressive, I know the New England game was a blowout, but 22 attempts on the ground for Alvin Kamara. The target count dipped back down. They didn't need it, right?

It was like, let's burn the clock. But Kamara's a really good start. Yeah, he's a great start start this is where we attack Houston 27th if you adjust for schedule against fantasy running backs they it hasn't been as atrocious against quarterbacks and wide receivers um as in they're scoring a few more points against Houston than then we're used to if you I mean on the season if you just take that number from Houston their third against wide As in, they're scoring a few more points against Houston than we're used to. I mean, on the season, if you just take that number from Houston, they're third against wide receivers. But if you do adjust for opponent, that jumps to 12th.

So that gives me some hope that Michael Thomas and Chris Olave are fine. The Houston side is very interesting to me this week. We've been overall, like the sentiment on the season, very excited at what C.J. Stroud has done. Nico Collins has been a beast. But this game does not feel like a good one for Houston. Agreed. It sets up as you have a disciplined Saints defense that's seventh against quarterbacks, fourth against running backs.

You have the injury to Tank Dell. He did not practice Thursday who didn't practice. Very unlikely Tank Dell is out there. Robert Woods is back, so he would be the complement to Nico Collins. But you're in a situation now where it's not a good matchup for Damian Pierce. The Saints defense doesn't give up a lot. Are you playing Damian Pierce as a top 24 option this week? As a top 24, yes. Just because of volume?

Yeah. The matchup stinks, but it's like you would have to dip down. Are you going to play, let's say, Rashad White against the Detroit Lions or Damian Pierce. Very similar situations. The problem there is Rashad White's going to get some passes. I mean, Damian Pierce, I don't know. I'm right on the line there.

I think those two are very, very close. What about the very disappointing so far, Ramondre Stevenson? Oh, gosh. Against the Las Vegas Raiders. No, I'm going to play Pierce and Rashad White over Ramondre. Okay. And then what about the Colts guys? Over Ramondre or over?

Over Pierce. Yeah, I knew. I knew what the real question was. No, I'll play Pierce for the volume. I will too. They got a couple offensive line pieces back. It didn't really help the efficiency levels for Pierce, but I think he had a few receptions last week, did he not?

Who? Just one. Just one, yeah. See, that's the problem. You'd like to see that get up a little bit. Yep. Maybe this week without Tank Dell, he'll be even more involved. But Stroud's not in play this week.

No, unfortunately not. Nico, I think you stay there with Nico. And is Robert Woods, would you play him or Shahid in a deeper league? play this week? No, unfortunately not. Nico, I think you stay there with Nico. Is Robert Woods... Would you play him or Shahid in a deeper league? Robert Woods... If it's a PPR, I'm going to go with Robert Woods. I'll be interested to see where he lines up. Does he take

more slot snaps now that Tank Dell is out? And then just get six to eight receptions and then you just kind of take the points that you take. New England is one and four in the take on the two and three Las Vegas Raiders. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Las Vegas minus three. The over-under is 41 points.

McDaniels v. Belichick. How does it get to 41? Well, Patriots have been outscored 72 to 3 over the last two weeks is that true do they 72 yeah so it was three to three to three to 38 against Dallas oh yeah zero to 34 against New Orleans here Mac Jones Mac Jones fantasyines the last two weeks. We have against Dallas 0.7. That's a 0.7. And then you thought that that was as low as you can go.

It is not. Negative 1.6. Here's the thing from this game that I've been looking at, and it's like on the surface when you look at DFS, you look at defensive starts, your natural inclination from years and years of training is like, okay, let's smash the Patriots' defense in there. They're going to shut down the Raiders.

They've been out – I mean, they gave up 34 points to the Saints last week. I genuinely think the Raiders are a better defensive play in this game than the Patriots defenses. The Raiders defense over the last three weeks, including a matchup on the road against the Chargers, gave up 23-24-13. They gave up 13 against Green Bay. They're at home again against New England. New England has scored three points in two weeks. I think the Raiders are kind of the sneakiest defensive play of the week. They're interesting because if you adjust for schedule,

they're actually not a matchup you want for your quarterback or your wide receiver. But tight end and running back is where things get done. So Hunter Henry, in the world of tight ends, Hunter Henry is back in play. I get it. It was a zero. It feels bad. But this is the game that Jason and myself,

because I've kind of agreed with it, of Ramondre's matchups and the Patriots' matchups have been very, very difficult. You would hope that even in a difficult matchup, Ramondre can do something and catch some passes. But I think that this is the game that Ramondre kind of gets back on track and is a top 24 play. I am on the outside of that take, only because I think it could equally be

Ezekiel Elliott in this game. Part of the narrative for the bye case of Ramondre is this like, oh, people are down on him. Why? Because, well, his snaps keep dropping. And his utilization keeps dropping, right? 19 attempts, 14 attempts, 8 attempts. Like, that's not a good sign for me. No.

Like, if he was underwhelmed, like Damian Pierce, inefficient, but the same volume every week. Yep. And then you get a good matchup. I'm like, okay, it's Damian Pierce time. But this is like, Zeke has equal odds to me of having the better game than Ramondre in this one. It is certainly possible.

The snaps, though, they were getting blown out in both games. They pulled starters out. I mean, Zappi finished both of these two games. So I don't think just seeing the 50% snap count against the Saints, I don't think that tells the whole story because starters were pulled. Yeah, yeah, and so this is – look, it's trepidatious. Yes, I agree. This is a very high-risk maneuver.

I'm trying not to start a Patriots player. I get it. On the other side, Jacobs is in, Adams is in, Myers is in. Yep. And then that's it? Yeah. We'll keep our eye on Michael Mayer. He finally got some play.

It was not fantasy relevant because it was only two for 39, but his highest snap share of his career so far. And there was at least a lot of chatter on the broadcast saying, no, this offense, because Devontae Adams was not getting targets, and they were saying, well, the offense and Josh McDaniels, they said, no, we want to get our tight ends involved, which was a very strange start to the year of you brought in Austin Hooper, you drafted a tight end in the second round,

and you're not even using these guys. Before last week, the Falcons had targeted the tight end position 43 times. The Raiders had targeted the tight end position seven times in five games. So, yeah, fantasy relevance is not on the way for Mayer. He exists to potentially, his involvement, reduce the value of Adams or Myers a little bit. But I hope they keep it consolidated. Oh, yeah, fantasy B&B.

Their offense was what Jason wanted the commanders to be. Just throw out the Dodson and McCorin. Two guys. Yeah. Instead, they target Logan Thomas and more players. Quick break here. Back with the Cardinals Rams. All right.

The one in four Cardinals traveled to Los Angeles to take on the Rams. And so five DraftKings Sportsbook line Rams minus seven over-unders 49 points. Really? It opened at 47. Yes. Yes. Really? The,

that is a little surprising. I mean, put implied point total 28, yes. Really? That is a little surprising. I mean, implied point total, 28-21. Yeah, all right. And this is a defense in Los Angeles that hasn't done, you know, they've been middle of the pack in a lot of regards. Matthew Stafford's throwing the ball a ton, and I guess there's some confidence that Joshua Dobbs and the Cardinals figure it out without James Conner. So I don't have the confidence the Cardinals get to 21 points in this game,

but Josh Dobbs has finished as the top eight quarterback two times. He averages 28 rushing yards a game. The tight end position is where the Rams are very weak, and the Cardinals have three of them. they roll out there every once in a while they have the best tight end just incredible now are you like from a dynasty perspective is

has the ship just totally sailed on the hopes and dreams of the Cardinals of McBride they I don't know that they've left like they're not out of the bay. The boat has definitely left the dock.

You can still see it from the shoreline? Yeah, you can still see it. If I needed to catch up, I could swim and catch up to this. But that's a lot of work. Oh, it's so much work. You ever tried to catch up to a boat? No. No, I never have tried to jump into the ocean and catch up to a boat. I can't have tried to jump into the ocean i haven't catch up

to a boat i can't even i haven't done it i figured someone had yeah no i'm sure somebody out there but i have always a small aside here genuine fascination i do wonder how long i could swim before like i run out of gas oh like kind kind of the whole lost on a raft situation. Or when you're on the beach and there's an island, you're like, could I make it? A hundred percent. That is exactly what I asked. Because everyone looks and goes, could I make it?

Could I make it to that island? And there is a way too inflated sense of confidence of how far you could get swimming. Almost like a Jason can land the plane kind of confidence. Very much like that. I just feel like I could swim for a long time, but then you hear about this. How's your back float? It's mediocre.

I've always thought it'd be good, but I can't get it. I can't get it knocked down without taking some water. You have to be able to back float so you can rest. Yeah, I could rest. i could get to the rest but the problem is is that like people get pulled to see on riptides right yeah and the riptide the reason people drown there it's not like the riptide like sucks you down to the bottom of the ocean it like pulls you out to sea and then you never get back because yes what are you shaking your head at al the nightmares i'm gonna have oh and then you never get back. Yes. It's too strong. What are you shaking your head at, Al? The nightmares I'm going to have.

Oh, no. I go on a cruise tomorrow. Oh, no. And I don't want to be thinking about getting lost at sea. Well, just be careful on the edge of that boat. Yeah, just stay on the boat. You're good. All right, I'll do that.

Although I am now envisioning a situation where do you have any excursions where you go to like we're doing a kayaking one and okay so you will be docking and so there is this scenario where maybe the boat starts to leave oh you have to catch the boat and you got to catch this boat i don't recommend trying to catch a cruise ship i don't think there's a way on and this was all for mcbride huh yeah okay. The answer is that was a wasted second-round pick for the Cardinals and probably a wasted late first, early second-round pick for your dynasty. Oh, man. Oh, man.

All right, Keontae Ingram, Amari DiMarcato, Rondell Moore. These are the three players likely to take all the backfield snaps for the Arizona Cardinals. And Ingram has been limited all week. He missed the last few games with a neck injury. He opened the season in front of DeMarcato on the running back depth chart. He is also currently. Yeah, he's currently listed as the one because, look, I'm for that of

a player doesn't just lose their job because they're hurt. So give him a chance when he comes back. And I think that given the chance, then we will have DeMarcato overtaken. That's how I see it. Hollywood Brown, we expect him back out there, right? Yeah, he's limited today. I think he missed on Wednesday, but it's an illness. So usually these guys bounce back.

Cooper Cup, wheels up. Absolutely. Puka Nakua? Yes. Kyron Williams. Yeah. This should be a big game for Kyron. I'll be very disappointed if he doesn't deliver in this matchup. The Cardinals cannot stop the run. I can agree with that. 20 opportunities a game for Kyron Williams.

And the game script should be Kyron. It should. It's a juicy matchup. This is everything you want. You have a workhorse running back, great matchup. If he doesn't get in the end zone, you're probably looking at, I don't know, maybe double-digit points. The receptions will be interesting because he really spiked. In Week 10, he had 10 targets, followed by seven the next week against Cincinnati.

It has gone down since then. And with Cooper cut back, what do those targets really look like? Does it kind of level out at two to three targets a week? It probably does. The big question, one of the biggest questions on our Start-Sit tool, if you go to the website, thefantasyfootballers.com, we have a Start-Sit tool, and we track the most popular inquiries. David Montgomery or Kyron Williams this week?

Oh, give me Montgomery. Yeah, I think, Brooks, you were surprised by that inquiry. It's just clearly Montgomery to you? Yeah. See, I think it is going to be a closer finish. I mean, Montgomery is who I would play, but the— In my rankings, they are back-to-back right now. You know what? I'm going to change that.

You're going to go Kyron? I'm going to go Kyron. All right. Part of that is because I took a deeper dive look at the Tampa Bay defense thus far this year, and they're at home. They've got a bye week to prepare. Todd Bowles. I don't know if it's going to be smooth sailing for David Montgomery this week.

He's still a must start, but I do think Kyron's matchup, game script, it profiles to maybe make him a slightly better play in my mind. Philadelphia is 5-0. They take on the 2-3 New York Jets. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Philly minus 7. The over-under is 41. I think that line has moved.

I want to say that Philly started as slightly lower underdogs. Or, sorry, favorites. So I think the line has moved to minus 7. The over-under is just 41. That gives the Eagles 24 points. The Jets 17. I can tell you as a Garrett Wilson manager. Yeah, that's really the question here.

I think it might be the only question. I never really know how to think. Because I know that they're going to take the shots at Garrett Wilson. Will they land near him? I don't know. I mean. They should have last week. Yeah, they should have last week and they didn't.

The Denver matchup. Seven. Only seven targets, which is ridiculous. I was so disappointed. But three for 54. Yeah, I think the entire world was disappointed because that was the moment. This was when you're going to actually get some good production from Garrett Wilson, but you did not. So it's been three weeks.

I guess Kansas City, he had over 10 points, 14 targets. But it's been just so sad. That's where I am with Garrett Wilson. He's on my dynasty roster. And every time I put him in, because I lock him in, it's dynasty, I'm just sad. I'm sad. Yeah, no, I am too and i i keep wanting to jam that

name into my lineup all right we got some popular searches okay andy these are oh man not gonna be fun ones are no they're not garrett wilson or kj osborne against the chicago bears uh i'll play garrett wilson terry m McLaurin against the Falcons. Garrett Wilson. Okay. Palmer against Dallas. Garrett Wilson. I'm fine going Garrett Wilson.

I think there's a world where you play KJ Osborne above him. Here's what I like about the potential this week. The Eagles are going to be ahead. The Eagles' defense gives up 39 points to opposing fantasy wide receivers. Now, they don't play the Jets every week, but 39 points is a ton. I think Garrett Wilson can get you 15 this week with the potential of a touchdown. You have to have a touchdown or there's no way he's getting 15. Wasn't he pretty close without a touchdown the week before?

No, 10.5. Oh, gosh. I was 15, 14 targets in that game. Yeah, but week two is his only 15-point outing, and he barely surpassed 15 with the touchdown. That was the Dallas, the huge touchdown play. Did we cover the Carolina game yesterday? We did, right?

I think so. Update there, Miles Sanders ruled out officially. Did we? Yes, we did. We did. Thank you, Miles Sanders ruled out officially. Did we? Yes, we did. We did. Okay, thank you, Brooks. Where am I? That's a Brooks question, man.

Yeah, you weren't there. How would you know? I'm locked in on this enthralling Eagles-Jets matchup. Hurts, Swift, Brown, Smith, Goddard. Any doubts across those five Eagle players? Only for Dallas Goddard because we've only seen it one time. But that one time last week, it was very glorious. It was nine targets, eight for 117 with a touchdown against the Rams.

Tight end two on the week. He was so difficult to gauge because you had a whole month of nothingness from Dallas Goddard, but you know he's good. I'll go great. Dallas Goddard is a great tight end, especially for a pass-catching tight end. To have a full month of losing hope and then getting to see it the one week, that's enough for me. I'm back in.

I will say this. I don't think Brown and Smith have monster weeks together. I think it's going to be... I can't tell you if it's going to continue as it has, which has been all Brown, no Smith. I mean, the way the year started, it was all Smith, no Brown. Right.

And now we come into week six. It will definitely... I'm playing all three with full confidence, but I know that the likelihood of all three of them having a game that you're happy with, it's pretty low. Okay. But they all have the possibility of having just such a big-time game. We did the Fantasy Draft redo episode on Wednesday.

A lot of feedback there. Brees Hall, we had some discussions about him. This is a matchup against the number one ranked defense in terms of stopping the run. If I'm Philly, I know what my job is in this game. It is to make Brees Hall ineffective. Now, Brees Hall is the unique kind of player where

it's one play, right? Like, you can be ineffective for 15, 16 plays and then break off a big one to make your week worthwhile. Are you... Where does Brees slot into your rankings this week? So I have him right now at 18. Let me give you some names. So Brees Hall or let's go Brian Robinson against the Falcons. Take the upside in Brees. Okay. Damian Pierce. We talked about him.

Upside in Brees. Yeah. Then I think you're playing Brees almost no matter what. Okay. What about Kenneth Walker? Oh, or Brees? Yeah. Give me Walker. Okay.

Derrick Henry or Brees? Oh, man. Derrick Henry's against Baltimore. Baltimore. Baltimore technically on the road. I think I'd go, gosh, I think I'd go Derrick Henry. The one bit of news there on the defensive side for Philly on the road in this game, Jalen Carter did not practice today.

That would be a big boon for Brees if he was not active. It would. The Detroit Lions, 4-1, taking on the 3-1. Maybe we forgot that they were 3-1. Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Detroit minus 3 on the road, over under 42. We've talked about the Lions' rush defense, how good they've been. That doesn't make – you know, Rashad White,

you're looking at pass catching as your opportunity. With Rashad White, you're looking at hopes and dreams. You were that out on Rashad White. Is it this week or do you mean in general? This week in particular. He's the RB9 in week two. He's the RB20 in week four against a tough New Orleans defense. We watched that game. He made

some plays. If you got running back 20 from Rashad White this week, I'll be so happy. Okay. All right. Mike Evans found out he's going to be a full go. Chris Godwin's Mike started the week. Any changes to that enthusiasm with Evans returning? Nope. The Lions, they shut down running backs,

but adjusted for schedule. 27th against wide receivers. Over 35 points a game. And they're pretty consolidated. It's going to be Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. If you don't want to be goosed, Kate Otten might not goose you. So there's your tight end on the Tampa side. Maybe. I only mention

it because the Lions have been bad against the tight end position and Otten he runs routes, man. He does. He gets his cardio in. He got a touchdown last week. But he's been over 20 yards in one of four games there you go jared goff this is a matchup the buccaneers defense just highlighting what i said earlier about

sure him as a sneaky play as well uh they are number two they give up 9.9 fantasy points per game schedule adjusted to the quarterback number three against tight ends number 10 against wide receivers like they are they're three and one for a reason it's not all baker just like adjusted to the quarterback. Number three against tight ends. Number 10 against wide receivers. They're 3-1 for a reason. It's not all Baker just lighting up the sky. The Tampa Bay defense has been pretty good, and you have a low over-under in this game of 42. Has the NFL ever considered using one of those light-up balls?

I don't think so. You remember playing with those as a kid? Yeah, no, they're pretty good. They're awesome. Yeah. Can we get that tech into a not into the duke not until we get some sort of high resolution goal line camera that's step one i feel like putting the light in the ball is easier i i have watched uh quite a bit of baseball right yeah uh over the last couple weeks was it uh when they they swept those loser dodgers That was part of what I watched. A big sweep.

A big whoosh. I can't believe they had a broom that big. It was a big broom, baby. This is not the point. What I was going to say is that some of the baseball slow-mo camera that they have, it's unbelievable. I don't know if anybody else has watched this. Can we just sell some of this to the NFL? I don't know if anybody else has watched this. Can we just sell some of this to the NFL?

I don't understand it. Like when they're doing the like Bang Bang plays on first base or something, right? And you're trying to see if a guy slid in or, you know. Right. It goes so high resolution, so slow, and we have none of this that we see on a weekly basis with the NFL. I just don't understand. I think the NFL likes it that way. Man. They like the controversy.

It's funny. I was watching baseball and thinking to myself, they've eliminated 95% of the controversy in baseball. You can challenge calls. Things are very clear. The only thing is the balls and strikes from time to time.

Over the course of the game, I feel like a baseball game is less subject to the, you know, the controversy we got with the Vikings and the chiefs where the, the penalty not called in the end zone defines the whole game. Like it's kind of refreshing. All right. Baker Mayfield. You're not thinking about that this week? I mean, I would. Two quarterback league. I think I might.

Would you stream him over Dobbs? No, I'd play Dobbs with the rushing. All right. But the Lions defense, I mean, obviously they give it up. They kind of funnel it to the passing game. Yes. Montgomery is in. Almonra, if he plays, he's in.

I don't. He's a full practice, but we don't have an official word that he's back. I know that seems kind of like a weird thing to say, but because of the nature of the injury, just make sure you don't let Friday be the last thing you hear about Amon Ra. Yeah, I can agree with that, but

full on Thursday would be a trend that he's going to go. And then Laporta is... Are you kind of... Are you terrified of this situation? Yes. Yeah. Being downgraded late in the week is more often than not a really bad sign of someone playing

with all that. If Laporta plays, the matchup's not great, but I'm still going to play him. Anybody else you want to talk about? Jamison Williams get more involved this week? Doubt it. Yeah yeah I doubt it too the yeah okay

yeah I don't think there's anything else Sunday night the Giants 1 and 4 Buffalo's 3 and 2 goodness the DraftKings Sportsbook line now Buffalo minus 15 and a half more so the over under is 44 but Buffalo Buffalo's at 30 the giants at 14

if saquon does not play in this game do the giants score more than three points very unlikely i don't i don't know how they do it i mean do you even want to play darren waller in this game if it's tyra do i want to know if iter in this game? Do I want to? No. If it's Tyrod Taylor and he's got the groin injury, you are willing? Now, what about all those alternate options, the Logan Thomas, the Zach Ertz, the Kyle Pitts? Are any of those above Waller in your mind? Not currently.

Just trying to think of maybe you got Logan Thomas off the waiver wire, but he's probably picked up now. So is Zach Ertz. So I'm trying to think of guys that, like the Waller injury was on Wednesday, right? Yes. I believe that was after waivers had run. So just trying to think through it of, you weren't preparing to be without Darren Waller. That was an unexpected pop-up on the injury report.

So guys who are actually likely available on your waiver wire, it would be like Janu or maybe someone dropped Hunter Henry. Maybe someone dropped Hunter Henry after the goose. Would you play him against the Raiders? It's a great matchup. Nope. All right. Yeah. I mean, if Waller's out there, I'm going to play him against the Raiders? It's a great matchup. Nope. All right. Yeah.

I mean, if Waller's out there, I'm going to play him. That's where I am, too. If a giant wide receiver catches four more passes, their name will be? I'm sorry. You said if there's a giant wide receiver. So I started thinking of like. Oh, like huge. Yeah, I thought of like an eight-foot man.

Oh, yeah. Look, if they had an eight-foot man. Oh yeah. Look, if they had an eight foot man, yeah, if they had a little gigantor, if they had a giant man out there, they'd, they'd do all right.

But what was it? The Yao Ming strategy that we've talked about before. That's Jason's Jason's strategy is line up. Yao Ming at tight end, have them walk five feet and just hold his hands up. And I still think it wouldn't, it would I still think it would work for a play. It would not work long term. It would not work for a full drive.

Can you imagine tackling Yao Ming? It would be easy. Well, yeah, because it's like those AT-ATs in Star Wars. Yes. You wrap the legs. Yeah, I mean, because he's so thin. I mean, he's gigantic and athletic for his size, but versus just a wrecking ball linebacker who goes in low,

it will not work. Okay, all right. Jason's not here to defend himself. Saquon Barkley, if he's back, I guess he's back in your lineup. Just sheer volume, the Damian Pierce. That is correct. All right. James Cook, last week week negative four rushing yards.

They could not get anything going. I watched that game with close attention and when they handed the ball off, he didn't have a chance. He only had five attempts. Negative four yards, terrible. Five total attempts, also terrible. I think you probably

throw that one away. Yep, I do. Going to have more success against the 28th-ranked Giants defense. Stephon Diggs, get him in there. Gabe Davis, currently leading. He is on fire. Yeah, he's leading the league, note, with the most consecutive touchdown games for a wide receiver, four straight. Josh Allen, of course.

You got to get the stallion out there. Got to get him going. Okay, here's maybe. Excellent. Don Kincaid is still in the concussion protocol ahead of Friday's practice. Dawson Knox is limited, but it seems like he will play. Would you go Dawson Knox with Kincaid out over Darren Waller? No. Okay. So Darren Waller's in. Yeah. It's like any of those top-tier tight ends.

You know, he put up eight for 86 last week. But it was a great matchup. Yeah, but I think anybody that you drafted in that category, it's hard to put Dawson Knox out there. I agree. Logan Thomas, that'll be a tough one. Like, if there was someone you knew that had Logan Thomas and Darren Waller, that would be – I would not want to be them.

Yeah, I get that. If there was somebody over on the – Let's go. Al, who are you playing right now? Logan Thomas. Okay. Okay. You want to burn to the ground with Al Borland.

Now you know how. Yep. Dallas, 3-2. Chargers, 2-2. Fun Monday night game, maybe. The Dallas Cowboys, two-point road favorites. Is that surprising to you after last week's performance? No.

The over-under is 50-and-a-half. No. I think that's where it should be. That's a fun game. The Kellen Moore revenge game, yes justin herbert of course austin eckler he'll be back keenan allen forever and always yeah any uh start sits on the charger size that you're thinking about like josh palmer quentin johnston um Are you just watching maybe? Yeah, I'm willing to play Palmer if I paid up

and I really need that third wide receiver or flex. I'm willing to go with it, not expecting a huge output. And then we'll see if Cuge can get the snap rate up or not. Only 51 snaps last time he played. I don't know if I like that nickname for him. No? Why? I just think Cuge is kind of gross sounding. I don't know if I like that nickname for him. No? Why? I just think Cuge is kind of gross sounding. I think that's kind of the point.

Oh, you're doing that because it's kind of funny. Yeah. Cuge. It's a weird name. But at least now that I know that it wasn't like a real nickname, I'm more on board. I mean, yeah, I don't know. It hasn't caught on.

You think he's going to have a huge game? Let's see. Let's go through the box score here for old QJ Quge. We got 1.9 points, 1.2, 2. Okay. 2.3. If these trends continue, he'll be at three points in the next couple weeks. And that would not be Quge.

No. That'd be not be huge. No. That'd be a small game. That'd be QJ. Here's a crazy start decision. Dak Prescott. That's where I wanted to get with this. Yeah, go for it. Like Tony Pollard is in, CeeDee Lamb is in,

despite Mike McCarthy doing his best to destroy the fantasy value of everybody for the Dallas Cowboys offense. Dak Prescott, it's been rough for fantasy football their game scripts have been just as wacky as can be but the charges are 30th when adjusted for for schedule against fantasy quarterbacks and like uh I'm asking the wrong person but you're we're on the air so you have to answer truthfully like i have jared goff in right now i don't like that matchup against the bucks it's yeah we just talked about the over under and and and he can come through because he can just throw like i didn't like jared goff's matchup last week but i played him anyways and he came through with touchdowns not not volume but he came through with touchdowns. Not volume, but he came through with touchdowns,

which Goff could do again. Or do you get nuts and go with the Dallas Cowboys quarterback in a matchup that has a 15.5 point over-under? Yeah, I'm asking because I'm sure people are. Do you have Dak? I don't know. He's on the waiver wire. No one wants Dak.

The honest truth, because unlike Jason, I do tell the truth when it comes to my matchup against you. I would like to face Dak. Oh, I understand you would like to face him. I would rather face him because I don't feel like the ceiling is what Goff's is. And Dak is the 21st-ranked quarterback. After being the 18th-ranked quarterback last year, I know we missed some time,

Dak has got five touchdowns in five weeks. Yes. Again, it's been rough, but he was needed in that game against Arizona, but didn't come through. He was needed in the San Francisco game. That's the whole point. He's needed, and it's a defense that, again, 30th.

I know. 30th against quarterback. And a 50-point over-under, almost 10 points higher than the Tampa game. So, look, you got to steal underpants for the week. I don't know if I have them. I feel like you might have to put on the titaniums. There's one more level. Ordinary views of Dak and the Cowboys in this matchup favored on the road, bad defense, high over under.

Everything peripherally says Dak should be the play. Yes. You should have a higher ceiling. The process is Dak. Squeaky, seedy lamb should be getting the ball more. There's a lot of. But process is Dak. Squeaky, seedy lamb should be getting the ball more. Like, there's a lot of... But there is a gigantic Mike McCarthy problem. Even a regular-sized Mike McCarthy problem.

No, this is a problem, man. Career-worst 6.6 yards per attempt. New play caller, Mike McCarthy, handling the offense. Handling it all right. Oh, he's manhandling. The London Bee feeders are a canadian junior football league team located in london ontario how did this come up i just wanted to transition i'm just letting you know like i heard a lot of feedback on the london bee feeders

and that is a it's a team but it's london ontario so just so you know okay and then i was also informed that like jacksonville if they happen to go to London, it is the birthplace of the jaguar, the car. Oh. So. What? So the place that has no native jaguars, why are they naming a car that? Well, no, those are jaguars.

Jaguars are the creature. Yes. But then the jaguar no i that's a totally different word okay that's what i'm saying but the car has jaguar has no connection with the animal i always figured it did of course it does of course mike i'm making a joke because they pronounce it so differently it was so dumb what is that x jaguar jaguar Jag I mean we already struggled with Jaguar and Jaguar Jaguar they also do the Jaguar I mean now this is a problem if we had clown

music this would be the moment for it we're done with cooks and Gallop for now oh yeah yeah until until we see you otherwise thank you yeah that's fine thank you for listening everybody we do until we see you otherwise. Thank you. Yeah, that's fine. Thank you for listening, everybody. We do have a fantasy face-off coming up. A couple of injury updates.

Miles Sanders out. Chuba in. Dolphins still mulling whether to activate Jeff Wilson. If they don't... What? Okay. Mike McDaniel said he would be on a rep count. So if they don't, this is where my start of the week was most hurt,

and I'd put Salvin Ahmed in as a flex. I get it. Sam Laporta did go through the walkthrough, uncertain situation. Odell Beckham playing. Njoku questionable due to burning off his face, but probably will play. Goodness. Because he did last week.

All right, I'm looking forward to this. You guys ready? Yeah, let's go. Fantasy Face-Off, presented by DraftKings. Well, well, well, I settled into Mike's favorite spot number two last week it feels great doesn't yeah i didn't have to do anything i just finished second and didn't get the wheel of shame and jason finished first so do you know what's coming i do not oh man i do not um jason's roster blew the doors off of draft kings jason's roster if he, if he hadn't, we both had Anthony Richardson.

If he had not lost his quarterback, like, I mean, he cashed. He showed me. He played this lineup everywhere, and then we were lamenting that. He's like, oh, I put all this, you know, I put lineups in there. I put some cash out there, and I lost my quarterback. So all of that's just why. No, he cashed everywhere without a quarterback. 212 points without a quarterback.

His lineup was great last week. Yeah, so, Mike, it's your first time. Maybe you forget how it goes, but I'll remind you. Wheel of Shame. All right, what do I do here? Oh oh do we have an updated graphic we do we got a new wheel of shame graphic why is shame so intense yeah because we're getting we're turning this into a real friday the 13th this is no fear it's a red rum font all right let's go ahead in the wheel we uh we've got to see the cowboy geezer.

Rainy day. Silly rabbit. Toasted. Right, bro? What is this? Out of this world. What am I doing? Oh, my gosh.

We're putting me back in the green mask? Oh, yeah. Yeah, this is good. We've already got one man missing. Let's make it. You wore the right shirt today. Oh, I'm going to match. For those listening at home, Mike is now trying to squeeze his kind of-

Gigantic head. Oversized head into a very tight alien mask. Oh, you look ridiculous. Spider-Man. Oh, man. Yeah, you do. You're like green Spider-Man. But great news, I can't actually see.

Oh, good. That means you'll be able to read your roster. Got a real frog situation going on here. You want to get into it? Yeah, let's go. And by the way, Jason is submitting a roster. Good. And Brooks, are you reading that roster?

Yes, sir. Okay. It's hot in here. Yeah, that's the punishment. Ended up, nope. I can't see anymore, guys. It's all foggy. Oh, no. Well, that's the punishment. I can't see anymore, guys. It's all foggy. Oh, no. Well, that's what happens. Let's move.

Move quickly? All right. What's your quarterback, Mike? 5,000. Whoa. Gardner, Minshew. You did it. Yeah, just wait till you see the rest of this lineup, baby. When you save that much on your quarterback.

I know. Gardner Minshew against the Jacksonville Jaguars at just 5,000. Brooksy, what does Jason have at quarterback? At 7,300, he's going with Justin Fields. Wow, he's spent up. Okay. And I settled right in between both of you. We all have a different quarterback. I am running it back with Joe Burrow at 6,300 at home against Seattle.

Sure. Joe Burrow, the quarterback this week. Mike, your two running backs. So at the running back position, I have David Montgomery. Okay, all right. Taking on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at something. He's at 7,000-something. Yes, that's all you can see.

One of my eyes is working. And then I have Raheem Mostert against the Carolina Panthers at just 6,400. Brooks, you're nodding like Jason has Raheem Mostert. He has Raheem Mostert. How about you do as well, Andy? What's his other? DiMercato. Really?

Yes. How much is DiMercato? 4,arcato 4900 okay yeah i didn't have those stones so the the moisture of my mouth is doing something with the nose i don't know if it's just snot or if it's or are you breathing like your own breath but you're suffocating no i'm saying like my nose feels like it's just running oh good good well that's a punishment then who's wearing this next? Ew. No one. We'll throw that away. I do have Mostert. Yeah, 6,400. We all have Mostert.

My other running back, Alvin Kamara. 6,800. Going back to the well with Mr. Kamara. All the opportunities. All the pass catching. It's a great option. Give me those trifecta wide receivers, Mike, because I know you Here we go. Number one,

Tyreek Hill. I've doubled up with the Dolphins against Carolina at, what, I think 9,300. Yeah, it was 9,300. Josh Downs to go with. I got my stack here at just 4,100. He's a good play this week. I don't expect a ton, but I think that Gardner's going to

give him a bunch of targets. And then who's this guy? Oh, Jamar Chase at 8,300. So, Tyreek Hill and Jamar Chase coming at you. Brooksy, what does Jason have in his three wideout spots? He's got Cooper Cup at

9,000, and he's got the stack with DJ Moore and Marquise Hollywood Browns. Well, well, well. Look, I toyed with some lineups this week that had Cup, Chase, and Tyreek as my three wide receivers. It was tough.

I get it. I ended up not doing it, but I do have Cooper Cup to match with Jason at 9,000. I have Jamar Chase to match with Mike at 8,300. And here is where I – you saved on Gardner. Here's where I saved. 3,000 at wide receiver. Ooh. Brandon Powell of the Minnesota Vikings.

Yeah, that's great. Had six targets last week in the absence of Justin Jefferson. Yeah, I kept seeing him being like, whoa, we got an Addison target. Brandon Powell. I went Brandon Powell because I feel like playing him versus like KJ Osborne was in play for me too this week. Sure. But you save 1,300 for maybe a similar game.

Maybe. So, Mike, you're tight in flex and defense. So I had to penny pinch here. Okay. I got Noah Fant. Oh, boy. At the tight end position at 3,000, which Noah Fant's actually had a couple big plays

the last few weeks. I do have then K.J. Osborne at 4,400 against the Chicago Bears, and then I had to pay way down. But, you know, what could go wrong? Cleveland Browns at 2,200 against the San Francisco 49ers. So you must be $0. Yes. Because otherwise you probably wouldn't have chosen the Browns that is 49 correct and it's not

that bad it yes it's they're they're very very cheap this week I'm not expecting big things but there is a chance that it's just we when we were covering it's like this could be just a low scoring game and I love when you make really like valuable points looking like an alien from another planet. Brooksy, what does Jason have at tight end flex and defense? He's got Logan Thomas at tight end. He also has KJ Osborne in the flex and Patriots defense. Are these wet marks?

I told you like there's weird. No, those are nostrils. Did you draw nostrils on? It came that way. Okay. That's on the bridge of my nose. They're alien nostrils, not human nostrils. That you draw nostrils on? It came that way. Okay. That's on the bridge of my nose. They're alien nostrils. They're not human nostrils. That was Logan Thomas,

KJ Osborne, and the Patriots. Yes. I went with the same amount of money as Logan Thomas, who was in my lineup early in the week. I shifted. I feel like Logan Thomas is going to get played a ton this week, and I'm entering this lineup in some tourneys as well. I actually went with Kyle

Pitts at 3,500. Nice. Took Kyle Pitts after the performance last week. John O'Smith being a little banged up. They throw to the tight end more than anybody. Could be a good Pitts week against Washington. My flex? Very happy about this. Been in there all week. 4,300. Chuba Hubbard.

Chuba Hubbard is my flex playing against Miami. They're going to be battling back all game long. I think a lot of dump-offs. And then my defense, 2300. I could have spent the 22 on those Browns, but I went 2300. Tampa Bay. We talked about this matchup with Detroit. I think Tampa will be okay

at home, and there you go. So we've got kind of a lot of differences between these lineups this week. Yep. But you have so me and you have Chase and you and Jason have Cup. That is correct. And then you and Jason have KJ Osborne. Yeah. But so

I'm live with Tyreek. Yeah, you're live with Tyreek. Yeah. Both times I was live with Tyreek I won. Good things happen. Yeah, good things happen. I really tried a lineup to get all three of those guys in there, but it was just so dependent on them. If any of them have a dud

game, my lineup ends against you guys. Yep. All right. That was Fantasy Face Off presented by DraftKings Sportsbook.
