Dr Roto Joins With His Week #6 Predictions 

My first round pick turned out to be a big flop. I don't know which wide receiver I need to drive. Roto, give me the news. I really don't know what I should do. My quarterbacked, I've got to. All right, enough for the small talk. Roto, we got to have a serious heart-to-heart talk. I lost last week, and I need your advice.

Ladies and gentlemen, I apologize. This is for all the people of Houston. This is a segment should be, Matt. I don't care. This is for me. Oh, my God. This is for me for three minutes, okay? Here we go.

Are we loving Drake May against New Orleans this week? Yes or no? Yes, a big time. Okay. Thank you very much. This Rico Donald thing, is this going to happen this week again for the Panthers against the Cowboys? Oh, it's a thing.

And it's a good thing. And you better get him in your lineup. Okay. And Keenan Allen, how we feel about him against the Miami-Den? dolphins this week. Love Kennell this week. See, that wasn't too painful, Ross. All right, let's move on.

Jesus. The Toros look pretty good this week. Toros are looking good. But the problem is, guess what, I had to go against yesterday. Cam Scataboo and Wendale Robinson. I'm already down Fitty. It's terrible. Well, look, Rico Dowdell could put up 30 himself.

Yes! So, uh, in a revenge narrative. Yes, let's go. All right. 713-212-5-790 7-1-3-212-5-7-99-0 if you want to get it for dr rotto he'll take your questions in the second segment the show can baltimore look they were woeful defensively didn't do much offensively the rams defense is probably pretty good as well if you've got any skill position players are you playing him for the ravens this week against the rams i would play zay flowers uh i would henry's a tough

one. I mean, the Rams are going to be ready for him, right? You're going to put a bunch of guys in the box and you're going to say Cooper Rush, try to beat us. So, but am I going to bench Derek Henry? More likely, I'm not going to do that unless I had two sensational starts. Like, would I play Rico Dowdle over Derek Henry? Yes, right? Chuba Hubbard's not going to play. Rico's in a great spot against Dallas. It's a revenge narrative. This dude looked great last week. But I'm not benching Derek Henry for Chase Brown. So, you know, you got to pick your spot. Say, Flavitt in a great spot. The Rams are, look, after last week's debacle where the Rams blew it on fourth and one running the football

when they should have thrown it. I got to think the Rams are going to put four touchdowns up on the Ravens this week. So I like Kyron Williams, love Puka, like Stafford, maybe even Devante Adams finds the end. We're not huge Jacksonville Jaguar fantasy football players, but are they sneaking up on us here? I mean, their record certainly is, but what about their fantasy impact? Yeah, I think that, you know, the problem is Trevor Lawrence, has been very inconsistent.

He's made Brian Thomas Jr. more like a fifth round pick than a first round pick. Travis Hunter is supposed to be this, you know, great talent, but we really haven't seen it offensively. But it's, you know, the whole is better than the sum of the parts. Travis Btman is great, right? He's a must start. Brenton Strange, who's their tight end.

He's out. But Hunter Long should fill in and do well. I think Jacksonville is going to play well. Vegas has this game as even, right? This is an even game. So this is about how does JSN play against the Jaguars takeaway defense, how to Sam Darnel play? But I think the Jaguars can win this week. All right.

We've got a quarterback change in Cincinnati. Nobody thought they were going to win in Green Bay to begin with. But do you like the fantasy impact that Joe brings, Falco brings to the Bengals, or is this just the latest gasp of trying to find something that works for them? Well, you know, there was a report that Cincinnati didn't even reach out to the the Giants. How do you not reach out for James Winston? I mean, how do you not reach out for Russell Wilson? I don't like Russell Wilson, but he's better than Joe Flacco. The thing about Joe Flacco is he can play in this league. Give him three or four weeks, he's fine. Are the prospects

for Jamar Chase and T. Higgins and Chase Brown better on Sunday than they were last week? I think so. Jake Browning just lost any confidence that he had. So I think this is a tough game. I think Chase Brown will be used way more. I think Flacco will dump it off to him a ton. I think Jamar Chase is legitimate. Do I love T. Higgins? No, but I guess if you know, if you have to start them, you know, if let's say you have some Vikings or some Texans, then maybe you would.

All right. Cleveland, Pittsburgh. Are we due for an Aaron Rogers Stinker here eventually or in, I guess it would be this week against the Browns? I mean, the Browns have kept things relatively close. The Browns are better than we think they are. Dilling Gabriel did not look bad last week.

Quinn's is downright good. And, you know, What is a rookie tight ends, rookie quarterback's best friend? A tight end. David Nujoku and Harold Fanon had like nine receptions out of his 16 completions last week.

So I think Nogoku's it firmly in play. I think Jutkins is in play, for sure. On the other side, I like Jalen Warren a ton. I don't love D.K. Metcalf. I know that we're supposed to, especially because the Browns play a lot of man coverage, but D.K. doesn't thrive in that coverage. I'm going to ask this one for you.

Is there anybody that you wouldn't play if you own a lion, or a chief this Sunday in Kansas City. Yeah, I can't imagine it. I mean, that's just one where you just rev the game up and you know that it's going to be a high-scoring one. You're playing Mahomes. You're playing Kelsey.

You're playing Worthy. I don't know if I like Pacheco, right? I think I don't want any Kansas City running backs. I'll stay away from that. I think I like juju-s-shrushchev more than I like Pacheco. On the other side, you're playing Gibbs. You're playing St. Brown. You're playing Leporta.

James is killing teams right now. I mean, really, he's killing fantasy. teams. But what are you going to do? You're going to bench him. The second you bench James and William's the dude scores a 40-yard touchdown. So it's like, you know, damned if you do and damned if you don't. I mentioned Rico Donald and the Carolina on the Dallas side. Two big point totals for them in back-to-back weeks. Is this a little hot streak or has this been a recurring trend for them all season long? It's kind of a trend. Offensively, they're not bad. And, you know, the Panthers play a lot of cover three. Well, who thrives in cover three? Jake

Ferguson, Dag Prescott, George Pickens, the three guys that Dallas uses right now. So, I mean, if you were playing in DFS and you wanted to run, you know, those three guys and bring it back with McMillan, you might be on your way to being my rich friend if you have a lineup like that. Dallas is in a good spot. I think Bryce Young is in a good spot. I think Dowdell's in a good spot. I think Macmillan's a good spot.

This is the game that, you know, right now is about a 50 total. This easily could end up closer to 60. Are you also playing everybody humanly possible for Indianapolis this week? as they take on Arizona with Kyle Murray questionable for the game. I think Kylo Murray plays. I think this game is going to be a little uglier than we want it to be.

I'm not saying that it won't be good. I mean, look, Jonathan Taylor's always in play. I love Tyler Warren. That guy is just amazing. I don't know if I love Michael Pittman this week. For the Cardinals, look, Marvin Harrison, Jr., going back to where his dad played. I mean, that's a story.

But the Cardinals are all about this. If Kyler doesn't play, I don't want anything with Jacoby Percette. If Kyler does play, then let's play Michael Carter. Let's play Marvin Harrison. And, of course, let's play Trey McBride. Because if they're losing, you know what Kyler does? He throws a million passes to McBride.

Chicago plays Washington on the Monday night game. Boy, the commanders go to L.A. and get that huge win on the left coast. I would assume that the quarterback return made a huge difference for them, not only that week, but also from a fantasy perspective. Yeah, Jayden Daniels played great. Kroski Merritt was fantastic. I love him this week against Chicago. That guy's a must start for sure.

McLaren likely out once again. I think that they use a little Zach Ertz. They piece it together with Debo Samuel. On the other side, I mean, look, Kailin Williams might actually have a good game this week. Roman Zunze is always in play. DJ Moore could surface this week. So this is one where if you're losing on Monday night

and you've got a couple of guys in this game, you might have a really good chance to come back. All right. If you got a question for Dr. Roto, the rest of time is yours. is at 713-212-5-790. 7-13-212-5-790.
