Week 7 is about to get underway. We're here to talk about it on FFT Express. We've got a lot of news for you here, but Heath, I think if we look at the overall big picture here, I'm sure you've been doing it. I've been doing it, going through my lineups, going to the waiver wire, and looking for wide receivers to add, maybe even backup running backs, but a lot of injuries with Emeka Abuka out. Puka Nakua, they're optimistic about him playing, but I don't think we can just, you know, take a report's word for it here, and that's a late game, but we need replacements. So who are some guys off the waiver wire that you might be seeing? Starting this week. So I think one, it's funny, because we started the week and we thought it was Omar Cooper. It might be Darius Cooper. It might be Omar Cooper's teammate, Adonai Mitchell. I don't feel near as good about Omar Cooper as I did at the beginning of the week. I think that last I looked, somehow, Malik Washington's still available in like half of leagues. He's probably going to score 11 fantasy points. Um, I've got a little bit of interest also in Caleb Douglas. Um, I've got Mitchell as a top 36 wide receiver. He had a 24% target share before he got hurt. Um, that is, well, what about, yeah, like you like Makai Lemon or Darius Cooper? Do you like Ted Hurst? Chris Godwin is available in some leagues. So I, yeah, it would go Washington, Mitchell, Godwin, would be, would be the order there. Wandale Robinson's also available in some leagues and, and he's, he's ahead of most of those other guys that you said, if you're talking about the lower end options, I do have Lemon ahead of, um, Cooper, but not by a lot. Um, and then Hurst is behind those guys. Okay. Well, let's talk about some other headlines here, man. There's a lot. Um, and we'll get, we have two shows today. We have eight 30 to nine 30 AM at youtube.com slash fantasy football today. And we have 1215 to 1 PM again, youtube.com slash fantasy football today. Lamar Jackson is out. So, uh, Bengals DST, you know, this has been a good matchup for DSTs two weeks in a row. You might want to look at the Bengals DST. Puka Nakua is questionable. A report. I don't know if it's last night or earlier this morning that they're optimistic about Puka playing, assuming there's no setback here, but you know, Kanata Mumfield, uh, what do you, what do you think? That's the thing. It's like all those names. I said, Okay. If you have Puka, I'm trying to drop one of not all like all of them, but like I'd rather roster Kanata Mumfield in that situation. Um, and then just wait Puka out. Who else is late today with the Rams? Oh, Darius Cooper or Makai Lemon would work. Cause that's a Monday night game. Kendrick Bourne would work. Um, yeah, that's, I think that's about it. Trey Tucker might be available in some leagues, but Kansas city, Seattle. Yeah. There's no one there. We're really looking at. And, uh, my Ryan Flannoy could be a fallback option. He gets about five targets a game. Um, and you know, George Pickens has this shoulder thing. So not a lot of late games this week. Right. Uh, all right. We got Brees Hall likely out. So go ahead and start Braylon Allen. Josh Jacobs is going to play. Would you start Braylon Allen or Josh Jacobs? I would start Braylon Allen over Josh Jacobs. Zach Charbonnet is going to be out this week. Hopefully make his debut next week, but out against Kansas city on Sunday night, Kansas city, a great run defense, Emmanuel Wilson or, uh, Josh Jacobs. I think they are back to back in my rankings. Um, I, I, have we gotten any kind of report on an expected workload for Josh Jacobs? Cause I, I had him at 11 and a half rush attempts at the beginning of the week. Yes. I've got Jacobs at RB 25 Wilson at 26. I think I'm the low guy on Jacobs. I've got him at 11 and a half carries in the projections. I think that's where his line also opened up, but now it's up to 12 and a half or maybe even higher. So I may, I may give Jacobs a little boost. But him over Wilson, but behind Allen. And what do you think about the Donovan Knight and, and Tyler Algier? Because, you know, this is a report. This is what the coach, the floor said is that basically said like, well, go ahead. You can, you can, yeah, it sounds like Tyler Algier is basically going to stay in his role and we expect now bam night to lead this back field in Russia temps. I think that is one of the most difficult parts of the rankings. Um, they're both around RB 30 for me. I would start night over Algier. I've got them just ahead of cam Scataboo who got a boost in the rankings. He's expected to be the lead back for the giants again, but we don't know if lead back means 10 carries or 15. I don't think the giants probably have that many rush attempts in this game. They're 10 point underdogs. Okay. So you'd start Emmanuel Wilson over Zonovan night. Okay. Uh, Saquon Barkley is questionable. Do you feel comfortable that he's playing this week? I would like a little more information, but that is the expectation. So I, there's not like, hopefully you had Damien Pierce and you can just wait it out. If you don't, then you might have to consider starting someone like Josh Jacobs over Barkley with Don Tavian Wicks and Devante Smith out Monday night. Did you boost Dallas Goddard? That's a hard one. Cause he's also not healthy. Um, and now he did get a full practice in on Saturday. He's not on the injury report. He's definitely going to play. I just don't know with a backup quarterback. Um, he is a top 10 tight end. Uh, I've still have him behind Travis Kelsey and Tucker craft. Last one before we take a break here, you like quench on Judkins this week. We sh we should, um, he's, he's a top 20 ish running back. I like him more than Jacobs and Emmanuel Wilson. Okay. I will be right back. We got more to talk about including Jordan Mason, um, Christian Kirk. Whatever. And then your questions. We'll be right back on FFT express. We recently took a trip to Kansas city to catch a football game and we made a full weekend out of it. We spent some time exploring the city, made sure to get some classic Kansas city barbecue. And of course headed to Arrowhead stadium to take in the game between tailgating the crowd and the energy inside the stadium. It was an awesome experience. There's just something about a game weekend, great food, great football, and getting to experience it all together. Made it a trip to remember. But while I was surrounded by fans taking in the atmosphere, like I was, what hit me was just how many people were making a weekend out of it in Kansas city. Like I was needing a place to hang their head after a night of tailgating and celebrating for the local Kansas city folks or anyone who lives in a stadium city football season is a perfect time to consider listing your space on Airbnb. Especially if you have travel plans yourself, why let your home sit idle while you're away? You can help meet the demand when a big game or concert comes to your town. And give travelers that home away from home. They need to really experience their trip to the fullest. It is such a practical way to earn extra money that can go right toward funding the next road trip or covering upcoming household bills. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. Yeah. So Jordan Mason is off IR. That's awesome. Dylan Sampson is also off IR by the way, but Quinn Sean Judkins is back. Would you start off with Jason Aaron Jones or would you go with Donovan Knight, Emmanuel Wilson? Uh, who are some of the other guys in that range? So I've got an Aaron Jones, Emmanuel Wilson, Jordan Mason's on of a night. Okay. And Jones is wearing your rankings, uh, right around 20 as well. um so i think he i've got it in full ppr he's one spot ahead of judkins it's a great matchup for minnesota's running backs colts allow uh the seventh most fantasy points to running backs 4.56 yards per carry to running backs third most receiving yards per game to backs and in week one they basically split everything pretty evenly expect third except third down work excuse me jordan mason uh scored 12 points aaron jones in week one scored 10 fantasy points boy we'd love something like that but they both scored so you can't can't rely on that a few other things the giants defense is unbelievably injured this is a great opportunity for woody marks and for cj stroud um who else uh the there was another team that was super banged up obviously the rams well uh just last thing on christian kirk where do you have christian kirk uh i i'm not ranking him as someone like we've talked about i'd rather start ted hurst um i think these are kirk is a roster guy not a start guy you all right i'm gonna look for some questions here from the chat and then we'll fire through them here get some tyler higby questions it's a good one all right here we go ready uh night or uh kendry miller uh i'll go bam jeremy bernard or braylon allen ppr ah i've got to make that decision i'm going braylon allen sam laporta dallas goddard tyler higby ppr laporta um fry oh just got married yesterday congratulations congratulations friar muther parkinson ppr mooth kelsey or higby kelsey malik willis or daniel jones i have malik willis daniel jones is once again the lowest projected quarterback in my projections flowers or chuba hubbard um i'll go chuba with huntley tony pollard or blake coram pollard kendry miller emmanuel wilson rico dowdle wilson wilson yeah and jordan mason or kendry miller mason yeah i think rio dowdle's playing what's the status of rico dowdle i think he's good to go um well you should have inactives on that game shouldn't we we actually do he's he's active okay i mean i'll triple check yeah he's active he's not inactive that means he's active all right last one start one tucker craft jaylen waddle or carnell tate ah i'd probably start tate all right thank you all for watching and listening we'll see you in 17 minutes for an hour-long uh starter sit fun episode of fantasy football today youtube.com fantasy football today see you there Paramount Podcasts
