Starting point is 00:00:00 The Fantasy Footballer's Studio is sponsored by Walmart. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. The Fantasy Footballers podcast, Monday, October 20th. How are you guys doing? Pretty good. I think, I think... You're doing all right? I think I'm doing all right.
Starting point is 00:00:52 Yeah, yeah. Are you surprised I'm doing all right since I'm going to lose in League of Record? Yeah, but like it's one of those bad beats. Yeah, I mean, my team went nuclear. You should be, I think, the third highest score of the week. Sounds right. Sounds right. Unfortunately, playing the second highest.
Starting point is 00:01:09 Yeah, I mean, it's not over at all. I mean, he has David Montgomery in eight points against Nico Collins and Ken Bone Walker. Walker has disappeared at times. And then you're talking if it was heads up, Nico versus Monty in eight points. That's not guaranteed. Yeah, I've got a chance. But one of us to, Josh or myself, will. Seed early.
Starting point is 00:01:30 We'll, thankfully, we've got the median scoring, so we're going to be okay. You could have played me. I hope you lose. And then it would have just been a big fat loss. Yeah. Because of Bo Nix. That game was. What?
Starting point is 00:01:42 That game was drunk. The Giants game. What happened? We can start there. Good. I mean, we'll get into Monday Punday. You submitted a ton of Monday Punday submissions, which 83% were negative and 17% were Bonex.
Starting point is 00:01:58 Oh yeah A lot of That's wild Because there was The fantasy scores Are crazy this week Yeah No I mean there were
Starting point is 00:02:06 There were some good ones too We'll get into it But That Giants game You know For me having undid My almost upset And clearly
Starting point is 00:02:17 Clearly I learned something this week I learned that when you go with it Just go with it Because it worked It would have worked out Well you did it perfect And then I got the other one wrong So it was like
Starting point is 00:02:27 So what What's ironic about the Giants is right off the bat, you're like, oh, this is an almost upset. The Giants are going to, the Giants are going to be great. Oh, there's going to be upset. And then later, you're like, I'm not sure it's going to happen. And then the game happened. And what happened was exactly that. They were dominated.
Starting point is 00:02:45 The Giants dominated the Broncos. It was 19 to nothing going into the fourth quarter. The game was over. They got another touchdown in the fourth quarter. up by, it was 26 to 8 with 5 minutes and 37 seconds left on the clock, I think, if I'm not missing. No, yeah, I think that's right. I mean, nobody has ever lost a game in that situation in the history of the National Football League. Because it's impossible.
Starting point is 00:03:08 I'm going to tell you two things that happened. So I'm watching, I was on, I think we went home for the second half of that game. I'm watching on multi-view, okay, so I got all the games going. And I see, and I'm not kidding, I see Sean Payton on the sideline with six minutes left in this game. I know the game's over and he's got this intensity on the play calling and I'm like thinking to myself I literally say I'm like
Starting point is 00:03:31 wow like take it easy brother I'm like I guess you do this to kind of like get your offense going for the next game try to get some momentum I literally go through that thought process then I'm doing something and I look back at the TV and I see the interception and I see the pick by Jackson Dart which was
Starting point is 00:03:47 disgusting it was egregious and like it's the last thing on the planet you should do in a game like that just take the sack right and even then when he threw it I go wow if this game was closer that would have been one of the most catastrophic mistakes you can make as a young quarterback and then after that in the game they come down and score and then you're like well it doesn't it still doesn't matter and then they score again it's like oh it doesn't matter they take the lead and then with the Broncos having the lead on like that's impossible
Starting point is 00:04:19 how did the Broncos come back and get the lead didn't Jackson Dark and scores, but on that drive, he threw twice, not once, but two times directly to Broncos, directly to Broncos who just dropped interceptions, and they got bailed out, P.I. on the goal line. But don't worry, you only got, you got to go 40 yards with no timeouts in 30 seconds. Sean Payton's so pissed. He comes out on the field, gets a flag on him, but it's half the distance to the goal, so it's worth a yard.
Starting point is 00:04:45 They score, and then the Broncos go and score. That game was wild. Oh, next with the, my guys down there somewhere. I'm a chucking. There was a time I was worried about Bruce Ariens' health on a weekly basis on the sideline. That man was red. He was so red. I am there with Brian Dable with games like this.
Starting point is 00:05:06 I'm like, poor Brian Dable. Like this game. Oh, the joints missed two extra points. Yeah, they missed two extra points. I mean, you fire that guy into the mood. We should be here. We should be here basically saying like, oh my gosh, the Giants are. reborn with Jackson Dard and Camp Scataboo
Starting point is 00:05:25 had a great game. They are. I don't know man because you watch how they went into the locker room you watch Brian Burns walking to the locker room like well he had to limp into the locker room. I mean he was so upset so angry with the play calling dropping eight into coverage like he
Starting point is 00:05:40 you know it's like you don't go in there with a moral victory because of how you know you don't you go in with an immoral loss I think they could bounce back on that one but Bo Nix was a Disaster. Give me the post-game speech for the Giants locker room.
Starting point is 00:05:56 That's the thing I couldn't fathom. Brian Dable already looked so upset on the silent, but what on earth do you say? You can't get in there and be like, you guys fought a hard fight. No, I can congratulate them on how great they played for, you know, 45 minutes. If I were dable, I'd walk into that locker room and everyone's just gathered around, you know, quiet. I'd be like, I'll see you guys tomorrow. Yes. And I would just walk out.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Yes. Sit in it. I would bring I would, I would I quit I would personally I would have gone to the locker room
Starting point is 00:06:29 with the game ball and I would have said Jude Jude Mcadamy this is yours this is your parting gift we'll never see you again anyway I would give in the ball
Starting point is 00:06:41 to him and then like guys say and you spike it out of him just hit me spike in the groin you go get out of here you're fired it's a deflated game ball yeah it was it was a wild day We had, the Cardinals lose every game at the very end. I mean, five losses in a row by a combined.
Starting point is 00:06:58 We'd be talking about the insanity of the Cardinals' end game, except the Broncos was way better. We'd be talking about the insanity of the Colts' Chargers game. That game was awesome. This weekend was a lot of fun of football. Well, I've got the Monday fun at football. Fun of football. Monday, Fun day.
Starting point is 00:07:17 I do have the Monday, Fun day, Punday. Here we go. There was a lot. A lot of good, like, Wham, bam, bam, thank you, Lamb. Oh, C.D. Bam, he's back, baby. Quinshawn, Studkins. Leroy Judkins. Oh, and Roshy nice.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Oh, Roshy twice. Yeah. Oh, oh, Ronde. Godson. Oh, he went off. He went God mode. Uh, how about, uh, whoa, Nix or? Sir Nix a lot.
Starting point is 00:07:44 Oh, Bo Named. Yeah, I like that one, too. And wee Higgins. Yeah, McBride. You got a quarterback. Jamarvelace Chase. And Jonathanos Taylor? Thanos.
Starting point is 00:07:56 I like it. Oh, sorry. John of Anos Taylor. Ruin it. How about Chris Ula Lave? Yes, and it wasn't all good. No, we had Barron Waller. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 00:08:07 Oh, no. And ashtray Genty. And Bill Krapski. Oh, man. Oh, Grown O'Dunese. And George Little. Oh, man, George Kitty. Bustin Fields
Starting point is 00:08:22 Mason Failure Teteroa McSmelin Cryin Williams And Meowvin Harrison Jr. Yeah, yeah, yeah Sequin Barfley And Yeah, you got this one, Mike
Starting point is 00:08:37 Travee gone Henderson So I do have some audio If we want to talk Travee on Henderson for a second Oh, please I do have some audio to share with you I don't know what this is
Starting point is 00:08:48 Let's listen Oh no Whoa, oh no Yeah It's over It's over I went to I have nothing else
Starting point is 00:09:00 I'm like dable at the end of the game When it's like I'll see you tomorrow What do we do about Trevee on Anderson? I'll see you guys tomorrow Yeah I went to dinner last night And we were at a tepaniaki table
Starting point is 00:09:12 And I was sitting next to a group That had just come from the Cardinals game and they were all in Packers' jerseys. They had celebrated their team's victory. They've flown in for the game. And apparently some of them listen to the show. And my new good friend Tanner wanted me to tell you, Mike, Trayvion-Henterson sucks.
Starting point is 00:09:35 He was very upset about Trayvon-Hen-Hen-Ton-Hen-Ton-I-I guess. I don't know. So this is, there are case studies in fantasy football. Moments, I think, that illuminate the way we think about players. And I think Jake Sealy said the oven was never on. I think that's true. I think the oven was never on for Trayvion Henderson. And so we had a preseason kickoff return it on?
Starting point is 00:10:06 No, we just never really got, we never got, there was no meat on the season, right? It was all hype, but we never got it in the season, is what I'm saying. Oh, yeah, but you do, I mean, that's. true for every rookie imaginable. I would say the oven being on is a second round pick and the preseason you're like
Starting point is 00:10:26 this is going to be electric and then I guess what I mean is that every week we've come in here at seven weeks expecting it to have happened the previous week. Whereas yes other rookies all have hype right none of them have played but you get a taste. Sure
Starting point is 00:10:44 and we haven't that's what I like there hasn't been that moment in the regular season for Trayvion. There's just the hope that it will come next week. It's the rational coaching. It's all of those things. And you look at the numbers from this week. I don't know if it's Terrell Jennings or Terrell Jennings. I don't know how to pronounce his.
Starting point is 00:11:04 There's an undrafted free agent running back who got the same amount of snaps as Trayvion Henderson got congratulated after the game of being like, we've got our five minute back by Mike Rabel. Yeah, I mean, the snaps in week 7, 49 for Ramandre, 9 for Trayvion. The carries 18 to 2, the routes, 29 to 5. That would be the most surprising one where you're like, hey,
Starting point is 00:11:27 this is supposed to be the special sauce, and then the target's two to nothing. So. It is wild, though, like, like, I mean, there are, it feels like two things, one of two things has to be true. Either they made a bad pick. Right. And Trayon Henderson is not very good.
Starting point is 00:11:43 or they spent really important draft capital on a guy that they are just not involving who's good so I don't know what it is for fantasy purposes you have to move on yeah I think it is a cut yeah I agree I think it is a cut
Starting point is 00:12:02 now if you you know like if you if you are Mike if you are a believer in the film you really loved him you still see you know if you want a roster him rostering Caleb Johnson who I mean, Trayvion Henderson's, at least on the field. Right. You know, call your shot.
Starting point is 00:12:18 But you don't need to roster these guys. These guys are, you know, wait and hope that they become a waiver-wire pickup that's worth something later. The Patriots? Patriots are five and two, I think. Yes, correct. Yeah, they've won four in a row now. And I think three of those on the road, which is a... That is three in a row on the road.
Starting point is 00:12:37 If you want to talk about how coaching impacts a football team, Mike Vrable Oh, Brable's so good I mean Mike Rabel And Ben Johnson I'm going to say that I want to give a shout out to the Bears Four in a row for the Bears
Starting point is 00:12:50 And same story Totally different You watch the post game speeches You watch the way the team I mean Vrable got a game ball From Drake May this week For beating his former team
Starting point is 00:13:01 The Titans You watch the way The locker room acts And then you watch the way The Cardinals execute at the end Of a football game That could be 7 and 0 And they're
Starting point is 00:13:11 there are two and five and they're going into the buy and they may say goodbye to Kyler. I don't even know. So here we go. We got news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by progressive insurance. I wish that because, Jason, you know, you look like you were
Starting point is 00:13:31 a certifiable guaranteed loss this week in league of record and you're not now. Yeah. I wish that there was some sort of like fair and equitable way to undo the trades that we made that ruined me? No, I'm fine with the trades. Oh, okay. Because I traded for Darren Waller from you, and he got me zero, and I traded for the Steelers, and they got me negative one.
Starting point is 00:13:51 I replaced Zach Ertz and the Rams. Yeah. Oh, you would have. I would have beat you, Mike. I would have beat everybody. It really changes. It's not for Andy Holloway. Subtraction by addition.
Starting point is 00:14:04 It changes everything I was going to say from this point on. I don't even know if I want to say it anymore. I say it. But Mike, Mike was, I think you called Jason Wieny this morning. Yes. And what I was saying is if Jason happens to win this week, I wish there was just some machine that would punch him in the face for every time he said he was going to lose. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:21 I would take that. And he would accept. You would. I would 100% take that. Okay. I would take that like I took $400 from you. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:14:28 So we made a bet that I said the Cardinals would beat the Packers, right? And I said I was going to go put it in on draft kings. And I'm like, dude. Or somewhere. The Cardinals are not winning that game. game, do the bet with me. I was like, let's make a $100 bet. The money line was plus $300. So I'm like, he's like, let's just do
Starting point is 00:14:45 it. I'm the book. Yeah, he's like, well, I don't want to bet with you because I'm going to get odds on the book. And I'm like, let me be the book. I'll give you the same odds. I'll give you $300 if we lose. So we do the bet and about Cardinals have a big lead and he's like, I'm going to send you $300 right now so later you
Starting point is 00:15:00 have to send me $400. So it feels worse. So he sends me Apple pay $300. And then the Cardinals blow it at the end of the game. And then I send him 400. I got 400 bucks. And he goes, man, that's a lot. You just had to send me. So, all right,
Starting point is 00:15:16 we're in. We are stupid. We're into the news. Pukunakua, expected to return to the lineup in two weeks after the buy. That's good news. Mike Evans and Abuka for tonight are questionable. I had this. I mean, yesterday was a lot of football, okay? I'm watching the night game. I even
Starting point is 00:15:32 posted in our channel. If you guys hear anything, Abuka, let me know. That's because my brain thought there was another game. I thought I was in Monday night when there's the double games. I'm sitting there going, why haven't I heard anything about Abuka? Being active or not? Yes, I was freaking out. It's tonight. And he has a real shot to play, according to Adam Schaefter. That's great. Evans is really expected to play. I know he's a game time decision, but not really. Right. So he's active, essentially. And then Abuka, it'd be really surprising but awesome if he plays. Now, are you worried about him if he plays? I am. I talked
Starting point is 00:16:06 about him on Sunday live and said just my personal take on it with if if I have a buca and I had someone who was like a decent option that's the way I would go it's it's really difficult to not do the start your studs but to be a game time decision with the hamstring I mean chance of reaggravation extremely high chance that he is just a decoy out there we've seen that so many times with guys who are like they they're game time decisions they're stars you got to play them and then chance this game has 60 points scored though i i know it's it's it's a very very difficult personal decision let me give you an exact decision because there are people that certainly waited and are waiting on him tonight and the alternatives let me give you two okay jaden higgins christian kirk is out yeah jaden higgins
Starting point is 00:16:58 alternative one okay alternative to tess johnson if i'm not playing I'm playing him. I'm playing him Abuka over Tes for sure. Okay. So, so a lot of people going into Monday night, I think with those two from the same team. I think I'd play Abuka over both of those. If you had waited, I think I'm going to, should he be active? I'd play him over the other two guys. It was just a, if you give me the whole Sunday slate, I would have done that. And yeah, at this point, have a great game. I'm freaked out. At this point, managers have made their decision. They are right. If you're waiting, you waited. And then if he's active, you play him. If he is in and you have those two pivots.
Starting point is 00:17:36 So if Abuka's not playing and you can either play Tess or Higgins, that's a really close call. And I lean Higgins out of the buy. I'd play Higgins over Tess. Yeah, it's just that game script. That Detroit, Tampa game, that should be awesome. Should be. Jaden Daniels left early with a hamstring injury, getting an MRI today.
Starting point is 00:17:59 So Jaden Daniels could miss some more time. Bryce Young. That's a weird one, too. I don't remember a hamstring injury on a tackle. Maybe it's common, but I don't remember that. He was running. Did you see him running on the way to the locker room? I was like, oh, he's going to be fine.
Starting point is 00:18:16 He gave a thumbs up coming out of the blue tamp. Yeah, but he was injured on the top. Yeah, it hurts. Yeah, yeah. Does it hurt? Yes. It hurts badly. Bryce Young left with a ankle sprain now determined to be a high ankle sprain.
Starting point is 00:18:31 He is going to miss some time. Andy Dalton, who loves him some Xavier Leggett. Yes, he does. Xavier Leggett was five of seven, five, five catches, seven targets from Andy Dalton in that brief stretch. How did Tommy Trimble workout? Oh, dude, I was only 15 and a half yards away from hitting. Okay.
Starting point is 00:18:53 Okay, you were real, real close. How did you feel every single catch that Leggett had, Jay? So every catch that Legat has. Nine for 92 with a touchdown currently. the wide receiver 11 on the week he was very good I hope this becomes another Devante Adams where it's like
Starting point is 00:19:12 you think a player stinks you know a couple years into his career and then it's like wow he turns it on because I remember you know I was a believer in the the where was it North Carolina or I forget what not North Carolina South Carolina one of them
Starting point is 00:19:29 I was a believer in that weird fifth year breakout I thought his tape was great and I really liked him and that's why I have such disdain for him as a as a wide of cheaper now. It's because he let me down. So I mean like what I'll be doing with Henderson right here in the moment. You're going to hate you're going to hate his bones.
Starting point is 00:19:47 Michael Pinnock's Jr. appeared to suffer a leg injury late into the Sunday night loss. Ankle got rolled up on probably fine. Dontavian Wicks calf injury. Yeah, read this one, Annie. Darren Waller.
Starting point is 00:20:03 left early with a peck injury and did not return that's give up a fourth rounder that's not good he's getting an MRI on it we'll see that i mean oh man that went south hopefully he's okay because that that could be it yeah if he tore his pack that could be the season ender if it's just a peck strain then great then more ramps it is uh he's going to ramp he's great with ramps i've had a weird a weird touch with sending players away from my team this year you should so I traded, I traded Burrow. You just pull the pen. You're like, shink.
Starting point is 00:20:38 Yeah, and then you hand the other guy the grenade. I mean, I traded Debo and Bill Kroski two weeks ago. Yeah. That team isn't pleased. I traded you, Darren Waller. You're not pleased. And the Steelers. I traded Breast Hall.
Starting point is 00:20:52 They're not pleased. Burrow. It's like a post-trade Reaper thing going on. It's wild. If I trade them directly to my opponent that week, they do well. That's playing against you. Kendrae Miller left early with a knee injury. Kendrae.
Starting point is 00:21:06 Kendrae. This is supposed to be your revenge game and you proved. His body doesn't like football. Do you think on the other side line, Dennis Allen was like? Oh, yes. Classic. That's him. That's so him.
Starting point is 00:21:21 I told you guys this was going to happen this game. That sucks, though. Cole Comette left with a back injury. That one's significant if Colston Loveland is going to be out there more. Yeah. So, all right, that was news and note, sponsored by Progressive Insurance Quote today at Progressive.com, Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third-party insurers, not available in all states or situations, coverage subject to policy
Starting point is 00:21:42 terms, limits, and conditions. Let's take a break. Before we jump into our studs and duds, it is important that we take a moment and reflect on the most insane thing that happened again this week. we have a chopped Oh my gosh, it's impossible. We have a chopped guillotine-style league. Seven days.
Starting point is 00:22:08 And there is a team. Now, I am still in this league. Do you want to know why? Yeah, I know exactly why you're still in it. Because you haven't watched the tape yet. Al Borland, who I will put on camera right now. Al Borland has, how many points in the league? Like, were you, I mean, it's a 17 team leagues on the beginning.
Starting point is 00:22:28 I was the top scoring team in the league so far. on the year. Yes. Yeah, just number one. 17. Averaging like 12 points more than at any other team every week. At Pooka Nakuwa's on your team. All you have to do is not finish last.
Starting point is 00:22:41 Right. To not get shot. Pretty easy. And you picked up, who'd you pick up this week? I got a steal on Brock Bowers. What was it? Like 36 bucks on a thousand dollar fare. I mean, Jason paid 500 and something for him.
Starting point is 00:22:54 Yeah, I did. So Jason, you had Brock Bowers. I picked up Brock Bowers. So the guy got chopped who had Brock Bowers. which was surprising. So that's one shot. That's one shot. Bauer's been chopped one time.
Starting point is 00:23:04 So I was like, I'm going to go. Oh, the person who drafted Brock. Yeah, the person that drafted him. I'm going to spend up. There's only one Brock in the league, so I'm going to spend half my budget, and I got Brock and got chopped. You're done. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:23:15 You're chopped. And then he went back to the. He went back to the wire. That guy got picked up for a couple hundred bucks? Yeah, two, two 50 something. Chopped seven days later. Then we made a joke that no one wants to get him. He almost went unclaimed.
Starting point is 00:23:29 I mean, 31 bucks on. on Fab in that league is nothing out of a thousand dollars yeah and then yeah I think that week his backup went for more than that yeah mayor yeah and uh and you got them on your super team chopped seven days you're officially chopped I'm not officially chopped I need 34 points from Monty and Leporta tonight so you're chopped uh if I get those then you're chopped yeah but you know oh wait wait I'm I'm stuck oh no but I'm getting chopped let's be real that's awesome So I can't wait to watch Waivers next week and see like, does
Starting point is 00:24:03 anybody touch him? Yeah, because he's going to be tempting. Yeah, he's going to come off the by. He's hurt. Yeah, exactly. I could use Bowers. Pay up. I'm tempted.
Starting point is 00:24:13 I mean, obviously everyone should be going after Brock Bowers on the waivers. Unbelievable. Seven days. Let's talk some studs. This week's fantasy stud muffins. Presented by Lowe's. I, again, Bo Nix.
Starting point is 00:24:32 Bo Nix with, I think, the most fantasy points for a Broncos quarterback in a long, long time. It was, I believe it's the second most. I remember the Peyton. Behind a, behind a Peyton team. And Bo Nix, over 40 fantasy points and had less than four points when he was going to the fourth quarter. That's in less than four? Yeah, he's terrible game. They were shut out.
Starting point is 00:24:52 This is why I picked it to begin with before I unpicked it. Because sometimes our offense doesn't show up. They just look inept. Bow Nix looks terrible. The offense looks terrible, which is what they did the entire game. And Bo Nix is the number one fantasy quarterback on the week by a wide match.
Starting point is 00:25:07 I mean, long term, I don't even know what to make of this. But next week, Bo Nix gets Dallas. That's fun. Yeah. That's fun. Yeah. Man, they are, I've said this several times.
Starting point is 00:25:23 I said this yesterday. My favorite part of the National Football League in 2025 is the Dallas Cowboys defense. That is my favorite thing to watch. It's not Bill's favorite. Oh, man. Well, yeah, there's issues there. We'll talk about that in another segment.
Starting point is 00:25:37 Justin Herbert in a barn burner. I mean, that game, that game seemed like an unmitigated blowout. And yet, you kind of thought the charges were going to come back the entire game because Herbert was, what, 400 plus passing yards? Bo Nix and Herbert, similar thing. Just the game script hit in the best. possible way for them and I'm it's I mean it's it's it's it's insane to me how a team can just be so inept and then they're like hey guys we're down a whole bunch let's just to throw the
Starting point is 00:26:09 ball they know exactly what we're doing and then it works but bo necks and herbert from the fantasy grave up there in I mean we didn't even bring up that in that in that game in that wild game there were for both teams touchdown passes thrown and caught to not Not the player it was thrown to, like popped up tip. Other offensive guy caught it. Troy Franklin got a touchdown that was not targeted to him. Yeah. It was, yeah, it was absolutely a crazy game.
Starting point is 00:26:41 Jackson Dart, third on the week. It worked out against Denver. It did. I mean, he's been crushing for fantasy. It's just, it's. And he will. He'll continue to. It feels so weird, though.
Starting point is 00:26:53 He has done a really, really good job of moving. around, not just running, but moving around the pocket and escaping, kind of early career Russell Wilson, where I've seen him just kind of, some quarterbacks have the ability to sense pressure around them without staring it in the face and falling down, Kyle and Merck. And so Jackson Dart moving around, making throws, you got to remember, he doesn't have incredible weapons in this receiving game. I had that thought the whole game, like, man, if he had neighbors. Oh, my gosh. I mean, there's an exciting core going forward, but it's funny because when I say it's an exciting core,
Starting point is 00:27:28 I mean three players. Yeah. Right now. Shout out to Wondale, doing your best. Matthew Stafford and Patrick Mahomes finish out the top five. Stafford, five touchdowns on the London game. Yeah, I played against the Stafford Adams stack in a league.
Starting point is 00:27:45 And I was like, I think my team did good, but I don't know. I didn't check a game after that London game. Eight touchdowns against me. Kyle, I don't know if you can try and vet this real quick, but 182 passing yards. for Stafford with five touchdowns. Like, that has
Starting point is 00:28:00 to be close to something that's never been done before. Devante Adams. I mean, Devonte Adams had three touchdowns. It was like 30 something yards, right? Yeah, I think he was in the 30s. All three of his touchdowns were one-yard touchdowns. Oh, were they? I think all three of Adams were
Starting point is 00:28:16 goal line. I mean, it's just, that is, for fantasy that's a bad beat if you played against Stafford. Also, Patrick Mahomes has been playing fantastic football. He really is good. And, and we saw this years ago now that their offense is actually chugging along and their team looks great when they get around the goal line this has been his entire career but we've kind of missed it the last few years because they just haven't been scoring as much their their willingness
Starting point is 00:28:43 and frequency of tap pass I mean it's a run play it's a run play that scores a touchdown that gives fantasy credit to Patrick Mahomes he's going to get those throughout this season and that That gives a nice boost. It's almost like how we talk about like the baseline of a rushing quarterback. It's like when you get around the goal line, you can have, he's the only quarterback that reliably you can say they can have rushing touchdowns that he gets to get a passing touchdown. It's so fabulous to have, like when you have a team that is dominant as long as the chiefs have been, eventually we turn on them because you're like, I'm tired of it. And especially the way that they have won the last two years, three years where the offense is just watching a. Chiefs game was horrific. Like, this is, I'm so thrilled, so thrilled that they're like,
Starting point is 00:29:30 they're dominant. They've, they're, their, their Super Bowl odds have to be like the number one. And it's great. I like the Chiefs again. Yeah, I, I wasn't mad at the dominant 2007 Patriots because yeah, they were awesome. It was so fun to watch them put up 50 points over and over and over. But did you know, on this side of the turn of the century, the highest, points per drive since the turn of the century it was those 2007 patriots but now at least so far this year it probably won't stick beating them is the Indianapolis Colts oh really I thought you're about to say Dallas no no the Colts are they're just cooking they're cooking yeah Daniel Jones is the quarterback six in total fantasy points on this season five is Drake May
Starting point is 00:30:23 three is Jalen Hertz who had a big week and two Dak Prescott yeah man I mean deck he's playing so well he's playing really really well and gets CD Lamb back George Pickens and CD Lamb that is a and the nice thing is over 70% of the targets were consolidated it went to Pickens CD and Ferguson and Ferguson got two touchdown yeah he did oh this is like exactly what you dream of for fantasy consolidation of targets on
Starting point is 00:30:51 offense with a great quarterback and no defense. A terrible, terrible defense. Gimmy dad. Running back top five of the week. Hmm. Hmm.
Starting point is 00:31:03 Christian McCaffrey. Oh, yeah, baby. Woo-hoo. 35.6. And he learned how to run the football again. George Kittle unlocked it. George Kittal. And this was a great defense they played.
Starting point is 00:31:16 The fact that George Kittal had his first game ever without a catch is like that's, unbelievable and that sucks but George Kittle being back for Christian McCaffrey I didn't I didn't think it would do this for the running game but it was like holy crap Christian McCaffrey can run again and if that is unlocked with all the targets you're you're at the point now where I think it's fair to say even if he gets hurt from this point forward right it's a good pick. It's probably a great pick.
Starting point is 00:31:52 Jonathan Taylor. No one's out there 0 and 6 right now with CMC. No, they're probably all 5 and 2. Yeah. Or better. Jonathan Taylor, number 2, he is a machine. Yes. I mean, it is. You just talked about points per drive. You mix that with Jonathan Taylor, a functional offense. This was the number one
Starting point is 00:32:07 fantasy running back in years past. We know what he's capable of when the offense isn't completely inept or led by terrible quarterback play. They are just such a different team right now, and he is scoring so many touchdowns. He came into this week having been vultured
Starting point is 00:32:23 by Daniel Jones three times near the goal line, yet he was already leading the NFL in touchdowns, and then he added three more this week. He is unstopped. They were from further out, weren't they? Not all of them. Was the vultures? No, no, no, no, no. Taylor's touchdowns this
Starting point is 00:32:39 week. One of them was near the goal line. Yeah. Yeah. It's like the two-yard line. It's kind of an incredible touchdown pace right now. Quinn Sean Judkins was a bounce back start of the week, 26.4 fantasy points and looks amazing every week. DeAndre Swift, ho-hum, we're back in the top five. I mean, even with Mononga getting work and, you know, even Roshan was on the field. Yeah, the Saints, it was, that was a tough game for them. But last week with the just doing things differently with DeAndre Swift, it seemed like they had. figured something out. You weren't sure. But back-to-back weeks of, like, actually being effective
Starting point is 00:33:22 on the ground is very exciting. Also, let's talk about Josh Jacobs. He is so good. And you saw how bad the Patriots were when he wasn't on the field. They were spelling, the Packers, yes. They were spelling him through this game. He only played 55% of the snaps. That's his lowest by far. By far of the season. You know, he's usually, he's got a game of 88, 78, 78, 79. And then, he came in with that calf issue and so they were sparingly using him throughout most of the game
Starting point is 00:33:55 and it clearly was hurting their offense against the Cardinals and towards the very end of the game when they had to score they're like all right let's be real here Jeremy was pointing that out he was at the game rooting for his Packers and also all of the other friends
Starting point is 00:34:09 of his in Packers uniforms were at the game because the Cardinals were on a silent count the entire game at home yeah you know what good take that like that that's what you get but the thing is is that doesn't hurt the bid well sold out he's like yeah sell those tickets to packers fans yeah that's that's that's fair i'm just saying the the people us fans who have you spent your money your hard earned resources and your time is like you got to recoup some of that and it's like hey you'd be better yeah yeah yeah make me
Starting point is 00:34:41 not want to do that exactly but jacobes was amazing javante williams 18.3 fantasy points. So those are your top five on the week. I saw so many people were complaining about Bijon. Tons of I couldn't put a Bijan pun in when you have 52 and a one. Bad points? Oh yeah, yeah. All bad. Negative. Because
Starting point is 00:35:02 here's why. I know this, you know, I'm a Bejon manager in the Dynasty League. Yes, he was the running back eight. Okay. Yes, he had a touchdown. Oh, my goodness. Yes, he had almost 100 yards. not good enough, okay? This is you with Christian McCaffrey of old,
Starting point is 00:35:21 where you were upset when he'd have a three touchdown game because he could have had five in that game. You watch, you want more. You want, you want 30 points. There was a lot of dissatisfaction. That is. It's not fair. No, I didn't put it in there because I thought it was wild.
Starting point is 00:35:34 Ridiculous. Because he was great. The Falcons were stinky doo-doo on offense yesterday. The fact that Bejohn gave you a top 10 game when the whole team stunk? The Falcons need to be played with confidence at home. Michael Pinnock's at home. Yes. Seems like where you can be confident right now. Jalen Warren was your start of the week. He had a great week.
Starting point is 00:35:59 Cam Scataboo continues to get it done. Yeah, got it done. Had the touchdown on a great catch and run where he followed his blockers. Ramandre Stevenson, 18 for 88 and a touchdown. And the guy. The guy in New England. Like a. it or not, it's the way it is. And he actually ran well in this game.
Starting point is 00:36:20 And then Pacheco, he will play Cleveland next week. It's actually a tough stretch. Cleveland is great against the run. Atlanta has been a good defense. In Tampa Bay, you can't run on them. So, you know, I don't know if you sell high right now because he is, he is that guy. He's getting the workload and it's not going away. We talked about that going in this last week, our confidence in Ramandre, but it will be a tough, a tough schedule coming up. Yeah, I don't think anybody's
Starting point is 00:36:47 I don't think anybody's going to buy Ravandro. Pacheco though, 15 for 57 and a touchdown. It was nice to see him do something. Kareem Hunt went out briefly in that game and he's been kind of phased out a little bit more on the snaps. Wide receivers top five, Jamar Chase,
Starting point is 00:37:03 Devante Smith, A.J. Brown, Chris Olave, Devante Adams. So, Jason, you got backed into playing Chris Olave. I did. And you end up with the fourth highest performance of the week. Yeah, yeah. But A.J. Brown and DeVante Smith, they got it done.
Starting point is 00:37:22 Both of them, yeah. I mean, AJ Brown, multi-touchdown game and got outscored by DeVante Smith, who had his career high in yardage. It was nice to see. I mean, the running game isn't doing for the Eagles, what it did last year. And so if you have to throw the ball, you know, they can. This is why we, you know, you don't just assume it's always going to be bad when great players who have been great in the past are still together. Yeah, two of the big plays for A.J. Brown came on fourth down situations that they just kind threw it deep. Well, one of those, I mean, I don't know, I don't know how you had, I feel like he stood in
Starting point is 00:38:03 the pocket for 12 seconds and there was no pass for us. It was like, they couldn't get to him at all. He's just looking around. He's like, I don't want to go there, don't want to go there. Let me have a cup of tea. Hey, Adrian Brown, go, go long. Mike, you said you wanted to see it again. I did. Keenan Allen, 14 targets, 11 for 1119 and 1. Yeah. But this was not a normal game.
Starting point is 00:38:23 I do want to bring that up because it's like, if this is the first game of the year, you're going to have that whole like I buy into Justin Herbert every week situation. You can buy in if you want. It's just been, what, twice out of seven weeks that you were hyper happy. Was this enough, Mike? Was this seeing enough from Keenan Allen that you see? start him now? Or are you
Starting point is 00:38:43 taking a breath? I'm going to take a breath and see what's going on. Mokonki had a good game, right? I think they all did. So Kuhnich, Mokonki, and let's not forget the true breakout of the game. Oh man. Arronday Gadsden who had, I believe,
Starting point is 00:39:00 nine catches for 164 yards in a touchdown? If it is possible to trade a second round pick in a dynasty league to get him, I would do it without a question. The, the I test on Gadsden is... He looks so good. He looks like a... He looks like a... He looks like a... He looks like a... He looks like a... He looks like a. He looks like a. ...you're not saying. If you're going to say it, then I'm going to hear what you're saying. Okay. I'm going to hear what you're saying. He looks like A.J. Brown. Like, size, speed. Okay. I know what you're saying. Like, he's running so fast and he's so big. This is a rookie. So we, you know what I mean? Like... With pedigree. With pedigree.
Starting point is 00:39:41 and he is on a good offense who I know they've got a lot of weapons and that's the downside here and we'll talk about this way more on tomorrow's episode where does he rank and waver why or whatever but I am I'm a believer I'm bought in I don't think it's always going to be great because this ball there's too many places
Starting point is 00:40:00 for it to go right now for the Chargers Yeah 55 pass attempts helps a lot That's why I mean in a dynasty league where you're looking long term where maybe Keenan's not going to be there I think this guy's legit he is looking He is showing flashes that you just don't usually see at the position as a rookie. So, yeah.
Starting point is 00:40:17 And we saw, I mean, Will Disley has been really important for fantasy over the last couple of years with Justin Herbert. I don't know about that. For our show, he's pretty important. He's had a lot of good weeks. Hit the button. Big Motley. Yeah, whenever we can we do, Will Disley. Yeah, ho.
Starting point is 00:40:39 Real important. Yeah, to us. Well, I just mean he's had a lot of relevant games, and he's, you know, all jokes, he's well, visly, like, you're not super excited. It's not a superstar. I did mention this guy. I said, I think it's coming. Travis Hunter, 14 targets.
Starting point is 00:41:00 There are eight for 101 and a touchdown. Two sides of this coin. One? It was like all garbage, right? Not all. A lot of it was, yes. A lot of it was. But you had to follow the trend with Hunter.
Starting point is 00:41:13 63% of snaps, then 74, then 84, then 88, then 90. I'm sorry, route participation. And the other side of the coin is the underwhelming drop addiction of Brian Thomas Jr. Oh, I thought you were going to say the snap counts on defense. Well, I mean, they were ramping his offense. They wanted him to be integrated into the offense. And we talked about it last week on the show. You can't really, if you're not in the practice room for all,
Starting point is 00:41:40 of this, and you're trying to acclimate, they committed to the offensive side of the football. Yeah, I don't know if he played defense in the fourth quarter, but I know going into the fourth quarter, he was at zero snaps. Okay, so only 14 snaps on defense this week. So he was a full-time offensive player. I mean, that's what, you know, I felt like this is coming, man. They need him. And Thomas is hurt. I mean, like, you saw. You left with a shoulder injury at the end of the game. it was just a DB jammed him in the shoulder and I mean he went down
Starting point is 00:42:13 so I don't have any further news I don't know if anyone's seen anything but it was it was troubling yeah so Travis Sunder had zero points at half time so I mean it was it was a bit garbagey but by week coming up and then the Raiders after that Travis Hunter
Starting point is 00:42:29 at least there's hope there's optimism yeah it's exciting and then Jason you brought up Rashi Rice is an immediate start of the week, seven for 42 and two, you know, only 19 routes run in the game by Rice targeted on more than half of them. That's ridiculous. So more to come for Rashi Rice and the way the offense is playing. Xavier Legate 9 for 92. We talked about him, C.D. Lamb right back out there. His touchdown was so weird. I mean, it looked like two guys running in the same spot. He just grabbed it and ran it in slowly, by the way. He was really
Starting point is 00:43:03 setting himself up for a drop the ball before the end zone. Seedy. It's a little excessive. And there were a couple of bad tackles in that game where he called himself off afterwards. I am going to be worried every time this guy gets tackled all year. So scared. Welcome to the Christian McCaffrey experience. And then Michael Pittman took advantage. So did, I don't know why Alec Pierce is not in here.
Starting point is 00:43:25 Alec Pierce, I believe, had 98 yards receiving, something like that. He was, yeah, five for 98. Both those guys. He was our nasty boy. Yeah, there were a lot of those guys in that tier of like opportunists, right? We knew that Josh Downs was going to miss this game. Pitman with the touchdown, the short area targets. Pierce downfield constantly, something to pay attention to.
Starting point is 00:43:49 Pierce had played well before the concussion. We'll see if Josh Downs is healthy. And then we already talked about the number one tight in on the week, Jeremy. Arronday Gadsden. Why is this a Jeremy thing? Because I sent him a trade offer with him. Arronda Gadsen and he's like I don't even know who that is
Starting point is 00:44:08 but Pat Friarmouth with the With that huge crazy game Gadsden number one Friamuth number two Gadsen number one Trey McBride number three
Starting point is 00:44:18 Yeah Get that man of quarterback He's so good He's so good Two spots below Gatson And then Jake Ferguson Tray McBride Maybe who that trade offer is for
Starting point is 00:44:28 There's another player Of course there has to be You're not. I'm sorry. No, there's another player involved. It's a, it's not a bad offer. Although I might be able to pull off that one for one. Who knows? Jake Ferguson and Daniel Bellinger, rounding out the top five. You had two touchdowns by two different giants tight ends in this game. We talked about they don't have a lot of weapons. That's an area where, you know, Bellinger almost had two. He probably should have had two. He dropped one. Tyler Warren keeps getting it done. Four for 69 in a touchdown. Nice game.
Starting point is 00:45:04 He's very good. Tucker Kraft into the end zone. Ten targets. Yeah, I love the 10 targets. So feed that man. And he was off the injury report. We can't forget that he was, you know, he was injured. Yeah, he was dealing with.
Starting point is 00:45:16 I came back and didn't look great off the injury report and looked great. And I will mention it cautiously. Joanne Johnson had the same thing where Joanne Johnson had gotten hurt weeks ago was on an injury report and is like, oh, dude, we are, it's absolutely dumb. and then he was still participating in the same amount and he had a decent gink. He didn't make, I don't think he can crack this list, but he was very servicable. By the way, Travis Hunter had zero fantasy points of the half. Yeah, that's what I mean. So it was all second half.
Starting point is 00:45:49 They got, they got whooped. Yes. By the Rams. Yeah. They look like the London games, man. I just worked out for the Rams. Yes. I mean, one team, they're both playing it.
Starting point is 00:46:01 I mean, it's wild. We'll take a break. We'll talk duds. Poopped in his big boy pants There were, I think, three quarterbacks that people tried to play some this week that were also a lot of the negative pun-related comments. Caleb Williams is actually at the top of that list
Starting point is 00:46:31 because he was 15 for 26 for 172 and no touchdowns. No rushing yards either, which is usually like so far this year, that's really giving him a nice baseline, but they didn't. He managed this one. Yeah, he was a manager. They ran the ball 40 times. Yeah. I mean, that's just a, that's unfortunate.
Starting point is 00:46:51 It's just the way it went, which also means we'll talk about a Dunezay. But Jordan Love, 19 for 29 for 179 and won against Arizona. his consistency score, which is a score we have on the player profiles on the fantasy footballers.com. It is a way of looking at the last 17 games they've played and what percentage of those games they exceed what we consider a good baseline for a position. 17.6% of the time he's over 20 points, which is an F.
Starting point is 00:47:21 And if I watched that game and I wanted to learn something from it, it was going to be that Josh Jacobs is your offense. That's what I would learn from that game, is that the more they leaned into running the football, the better they played. It's so disappointing. I thought he would be much better this year. His weapons are pretty disappointing. I mean, Tucker Kraft was good, but Tucker Craft is a tight-in.
Starting point is 00:47:43 You know, Tucker Craft is not a Travis Kelsey in his prime. He's good. But it's like you don't want your offense running through just a good tight-in. Jaden Reed? Jaden Reed is not there. Golden is not that dude. I mean, not yet. He's still young.
Starting point is 00:47:58 he's a rookie. Maybe he can develop into it, but he's not that yet. Christian Watson, hopefully coming back. I think he will be back next week. Maybe that helps. And Dobbs is a fine player. But, you know, it's like, if you swapped Dobbs and Josh Reynolds or Kendrick Bourne? Oh, that's so exactly right. It's just another. They all have fine player on their trading card.
Starting point is 00:48:21 Yeah, absolutely. He's a fine player. NFL professional athlete. Professional NFL wide receiver. Yeah, which, and then it doesn't get much. worse than what you've seen on the field from Justin Fields. Oh, man. I mean, Justin Fields was six for 12 for 46 yards before being removed. He has six games on the season. Let me tell you his fantasy points in those six games. 35, 33, 33, three, six, and five. Hey, you want to talk boom.
Starting point is 00:48:52 You first. Boom or bust. But the problem is, who cares about the fantasy points? watching Justin Fields play, and especially play without weapons to throw the ball to, is torture. He's so bad. Did you guys see who's the new defensive coordinator of the Lions is? Aaron Glenn next year. He is not lasting more than a year in New York. I brought up, Fields was talked about a good amount on Sunday live in the show last week, and it was like Fields without Garrett Wilson. is the Jets can't do anything.
Starting point is 00:49:31 Fields needs him. So games when Wilson is active, if Wilson is removed like he was in that Denver game, then nothing will happen. So Fields, I mean, one, Fields may not have a job. He like, oh yeah, yeah. He shouldn't.
Starting point is 00:49:45 There is a better player. There is a strong, there's a strong chance that Justin Fields is just flat out benched. But should he keep his job, he is off the, fantasy radar until Garrett Wilson is back. This team is going to be, this team is so,
Starting point is 00:50:04 I mean, tortures the right word, it's so bad and it's going to get worse because at least Fields could have an exciting single play where he ran the football, but I think they're going to move on from Breast Hall. I think he is definitely going to get traded.
Starting point is 00:50:19 He was 11 for 38 in this game. He got hurt. He had two targets. He got hurt and came back. Ends up 50, 50 snaps with Isaiah Davis, who you should pick up because Brise Hall is going to get traded and or probably
Starting point is 00:50:34 get traded. He wants out so bad and I don't blame him. You can't go anywhere worse. Ashton Jenty, 6 for 21 in a butt whooping of all butt whoppings. These teams didn't belong in the same field together. It's going to be tough for him too because you get Jackson, one, you get a
Starting point is 00:50:50 buy week, so that's nice, recover, heal up a bit, but then you get Jacksonville in Denver. Two good defenses. Chiron, it was just unfortunate. He had a goal line opportunity, got stuffed, and then they threw it to Devante Adams again because that was like basically their version of the tush push. Just throw it to Devante Adams in one-on-one.
Starting point is 00:51:08 Good to see Jacksonville learn to leave him in one-on-one three times. That was genius. You got it this time, guys. I mean, goodness. Jacori-Crossi, Merritt. This one is 13 for 33. You even saw some McNichols and Chris Rodriguez later in the game. Well, you saw, you saw Mick Nichols because McNichols is the past catching back, right?
Starting point is 00:51:35 Not last week. Well, last week he wasn't even on the field. When Dallas got out to a big lead and I feel like there is a little bit of game script worry, the archetype of Jacori Kroski Merit is one where it's like, this is a lowly drafted guy who doesn't have like a predominant pass-catching background. He's looked good. He's had some juice on some runs. This is why, you know, early in the season, we were very, very skeptical.
Starting point is 00:52:04 All the Bill fun jokes aside, it was, you know, we would talk about how, you know, he can do no wrong, but then actually say, you got to be careful with that. When you're a lowly drafted prospect, it's not always going to be great. And this is also, you know, for dynasty purposes, this team needs a running back. They need a real running back. So long term, I don't think he's their future. Even if he has a good rest of season, there's no commitment here to. Chicago and Dallas were the make or break games for Bill.
Starting point is 00:52:33 Yeah, for all the. And he finished with 5.3 and 3.7 fantasy points. And the next three weeks is the Chiefs tough to run on, the Seahawks good defense, Detroit tough to run on. If Rico only had his success because he was playing against Dowell, Dallas, then you, what do you say about Bill? Yeah. It didn't last for Kamani Vidal.
Starting point is 00:52:58 Well, the work did. Honestly, he was the guy. He was the main running back. It just the charger game went weird, and it turned into we have to throw it a ton. Five targets is great, but game script-wise, he just didn't get anything going. Let's have another conversation here. Travis, it's the end junior.
Starting point is 00:53:20 Eight for 44, that's not bad, just eight carries, though. Outside the top 20 for three straight weeks, it was so hot to begin. But does it come back to... Yeah, it comes back. This is a... So he's still getting the utilization you want to see.
Starting point is 00:53:37 Now, at the end of the game, you might look at this and say, oh, he didn't get the utilization. But at the very end of the game, they had, you know, tune in the game as they were getting blown out. He is their primary back. This was a bad game.
Starting point is 00:53:51 It was a bad game. And it's been a tough stretch, but it's also, we just brought this up with Bill, the schedule of like going to KC and the Seahawks and Detroit. Well, the last three games for Travis E.T.N was Kansas City and the Seahawks and the Rams. Now they go to buy. When they come back out, he's got a little bit easier schedule. He is projected for zero on the buy, though. So he's more of a.
Starting point is 00:54:14 I think you start him every game, but your expectations have to be much. That's what I was going to ask. Will he be a matchup choice? So because he would be a flex type of option, like on my roster, he would be my running back three. There's definitely a world where I could start another wide receiver over him in a bad matchup. But I don't think he is like a, you can only play him in a good matchup. Because any time that there's a PI in the end zone, you can walk away with a Travis E.T. and touchdown.
Starting point is 00:54:44 He scored more fantasy points than this guy. Seven last week, four this week. Sequan Barkley. Oh, man. Oh, man. 18 for 44 this week in a game that they dominated. RB 17 on the season. But the last two weeks have been especially painful. In fact, really the last five.
Starting point is 00:55:10 Because you had an RB11 finish, but then it's RB 31. So seven single-digit fantasy points in three or five games. Let's just leave it there. People want to have the conversation. I don't know what the conversation leads you to. You don't bench, say, Kuan. The big plays are currently not happening. Do you trade him with the name?
Starting point is 00:55:31 No, I personally don't think. Would you rather have Ginty? This is the time where I think you, if you have him, you hold him. If you talk about trades, this is the time where you can trade, you could trade for Barclay and probably get him. affordably. Not like, you're not getting him cheap. He's still got the big name. But I think... So you'd trade Javante for him? No. Would I trade Javante Williams for Sequin Barclay? Yes, I would. I'm just trying to think what affordably means. And that was a name that popped in my head.
Starting point is 00:55:59 That's a perfect example. So you would rather have Javante rest of... Just seven weeks in, man. And Javentes have, what, one dud? One dud? Pretty much. No. Give me that Dallas offense. Jason would do it. Mike would not do it. Andy Wood, what? Host? You coward! I think if I was in that situation, I'd rather have Sequin. I mean, would you trade Kyran away for Sequin?
Starting point is 00:56:25 No. Judkins? No. DeAndre Swift? Yes. No one will probably do that. That one, I would draw not. That would be your affordability.
Starting point is 00:56:34 Possibly. If you could trade Swift for Barclay, I would do it. Yeah, I mean, you're not, there's not a lot of other names really out there. We didn't talk about RICO, did we? No, we haven't talked stats of the RICO Chuba split, no. Yeah, I guess. Because he didn't, he doesn't fit in either category. It wasn't like an, it wasn't a terrible game.
Starting point is 00:56:56 He's a top 20 running back as of right now. There's still two games, so he might get knocked out. But he was 17 for 79, one for 17 through the air. So, I mean, not a, not a special game, but he got to 10 points without scoring. He was better than Chuba. He was way better than Chuba, but it was a splits. Yeah. I mean, 50, 50, basically.
Starting point is 00:57:18 So if the coach is going to run it like this, it's going to. And I believe they are. I believe they will completely run it like this. There's quite a bit of correlation between our wide receiver duds and those quarterback duds from earlier. Roma Dunez-A just two for 31. Jalen Wada, one for 15 from the worst quarterback we've seen in a while right now. Two is playing so terribly. Three more picks.
Starting point is 00:57:39 Brian Thomas Jr., three for 31. got hurt you had Matthew Golden we talked about the bad game for Jordan Love Golden was 4 for 37 never been targeted inside the 10-yard line this year so that's not good and then the sky fell for Kendrick Bourne
Starting point is 00:57:59 2 for 14 John Jennings didn't do much the other duds D-K MacCap we talked about it at length reacting to the Thursday night game so maybe focus more on Ted McMillan who Ted McMillan comes like. It was a bummer, man. It was a bummer, but it was a little bit of a, it was flagged on this show.
Starting point is 00:58:18 Like, yes, he scored twice last week. He was in the 30s in yards last week. So you're two straight weeks where he's in the 30s in total yardage. It's, I mean, we're getting to the halfway point of the season. I don't know if we just lean on the talent or we adjust expectations because quarterback changes happening. it might be better for the receivers. It also is a variable. We just don't know what the outcome's going to be.
Starting point is 00:58:46 If I were Carolina, I'd lean on Dowdell and Chuba. So it's just a little bit of a tier adjustment in my mind right now for Tet. Maybe that's not fair. You tell me. I think it is fair, but I am still a believer. When I watch the film, I don't see anything that looks like he's doing wrong. I see separation. You know, he's playing for the Panthers.
Starting point is 00:59:11 It's not working out very well. Maybe the quarterback changes is positive. I would love to have Tetaroa on my fantasy team. So if I could acquire him cheaply, I certainly would. Well, there was an AJ Brown tech conversation weeks ago. I'm assuming that is off the table now. Oh, for sure. That's not going to happen.
Starting point is 00:59:27 As in you would not trade AJ Brown for Tet, you're saying. Yeah, I mean, AJ Brown has. Because I think you sent that offer out and got rejected. I did and did. And probably for the best. George Kittle Goose Goddard
Starting point is 00:59:41 close to it Didn't get into the end zone Just 3 for 18 Oh Dallas Goddard Miao and Taylor Like I fought I fought against the Dallas
Starting point is 00:59:51 Godters I was like he just You did Like no No I can't do this And then finally I'm like Okay I'll play Dallas God
Starting point is 00:59:58 And then now it feels bad Yeah Mouse Miaoin Taylor Yeah mouse Five targets Three for 31 We talked about
Starting point is 01:00:06 Like it's not possible for him produce when your quarterback throws for 40-something yards. Yep. Just impossible. Hunter Henry, 4-4-33, Harold Fanon. This was a bummer. Four-for-36.
Starting point is 01:00:17 Throw this away. The Harold Fanon, so you look at the utilization. It is everything you want with Najoku out. This was a bad weather game. So, like, on prize picks, I took the two quarterbacks, went less. You know, it was easy. Bad weather, to me, I would love to start Harold Fanon next week. They will not be blowing out the New England Patriots on the road.
Starting point is 01:00:44 That was Thuds and Duds presented by Lowe's. Lowe's Nose Sundays are for NFL football. Earn your Sunday with Lowe's, the official partner of the NFL. Big show tomorrow. Do not miss it. Waiverwire. And we didn't really bring him up much. But if I could trade Travis Kelsey for something right now, I would absolutely do it.
Starting point is 01:01:08 Travis Kelsey, he was my biggest worry from the Chiefs, and he had a big broken play. Like, it was a broken coverage. He was wide open, had a nice long play. He had 9% targets in Rishi Rice's first game back. I mean, that is an abysmal number for him. And Roshy Rice wasn't even a full-time player. Yeah. So he's the one that has always been my big fear of can Rice and Kelsey both get it done?
Starting point is 01:01:33 I think it's bad days ahead for Kelsey. Tomorrow is a waiver show. We have our optimized ultimate dashboard available to you at Jointhefoot.com.
