Starts of the Week + Week 10 Games, Jason’s Firesale - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/12

[MUSIC] Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. [MUSIC] >> Welcome in. >> It's about to be here. >> That's a good one. I'm excited for this game. I think it's fun. >> It should be, we got a lot going on. >> I hope so, I know. >> You hope we have a lot going on. >> Always, I hope it's a really good game. >> I'm worried it's going to be very low scoring. Mike, you thought there's a chance you could really go back forth. >> Scataboo loves prime time, right? >> Yeah, I mean, the best running backs do. >> It's weird that they just don't believe in any way, shape and form, and he can be there, dude. >> It is, it's got to be a personality conflict. >> That's exactly what I'm saying, it's got to be a personality, because it's not on the field. >> Yeah, it's week 10, it's week 10. >> Oh, I pull it, hold on. >> Is it a football? >> I use dice for a football. >> Oh, is that, is that, we got- >> No, it's in 2009. >> Crowdbaggers over there. >> Oh my goodness. >> Whoa. >> You missed last week, last week, it was the tea baggers, so this week- >> I don't know. >> They like the sour crowd, right? >> Yeah, I like the sour crowd. >> It is delicious. >> You know, that is one of the most rare restaurants that you can go to as a German restaurant. It's just harder to find a German restaurant, but man alive, bangers and mash, which I know that's Irish too, but you can do that. I think you can do that. >> They have them at both. >> Yeah, yeah. >> But then like a sour crowd, what is the banger and what is the mash? >> The mash is the potato. >> And the banger is the sausage, yeah. >> Okay. >> It's pretty easy. >> Well, I didn't actually know it was in-- >> Some gravy on there? >> Some gravy on there? >> You got it. We got to get you. Now that you speak German, we should give you to one of these restaurants. I'm pretty sure I nailed that accent. >> Yeah, that was frightening. Two thumbs down. Join thefoot.com, that's the community, the ultimate dashboard, premium and season tools, discord, premium channels. We got trade deadlines coming up, a lot of good people to talk to about all of that. We were nailing down our trade deadline in our League of Records this morning, which we do the same thing every year, and then we just didn't write it down. >> Yeah. >> And our League is a keeper league, so there's a lot of decision making of like, you know, if you think you're in the playoff hunt, you stick around, maybe you invest, if you think you're on your way out, maybe you want to try to get draft picks, but you know, stuff changes so quick. I mean, we have this Pukka Nakua injury, and somebody that looked unbeatable was slightly more beatable until Jason traded him a replacement for Pukka. >> That's what I do, man. I am the-- >> It's his favorite thing. >> I am the injury replacer. >> Now, if anybody has ever asked the question, because it happened early in the year for me, the irony is that when we didn't know if neighbors was coming back, you and I made a trade, you were playing for next year, and I traded neighbors for CDLAM, and I'm very happy with that trade. Why? Why? >> Yeah. >> Oh, because Lamb is very good. >> Oh. >> And then when you trade neighbors in a trade for Pukka, now that Pukka's hurt, so like neighbors is like, yeah, he's your future investment, and now he's gone. >> Yeah. >> I'm a Pukka man now. >> And then there's unbelievable, which he may be on the Rams. He may have Matthew Stafford. There are very-- >> That's gonna be important for my-- >> It's gonna be-- >> That's my favorite part. >> Well, and obviously at this point, I am so hoping that was a bad trade for you. >> Of course. >> Because all you did was trade my opponent somebody that's playing for somebody that's not playing, and-- >> Yeah. >> You know how upset other people were when I traded people-- >> Exactly. >> The whole point of this was like, you are-- you certainly were not playing favorites, because you did it with Jeremy. Now Jeremy's players all got hurt. >> Mm-hm. >> I will say, Jason did learn his lesson this time, because he actually got a pick swap in his favor. He didn't just trade-- >> Well, he got a pick swap. >> Well, he got a pick swap. >> Should gum. >> He got a pick swap for the bucket trade, right? >> For the bucket trade, right? >> No. >> Well, the CD trade. >> No. >> No. >> Yeah. >> The people don't like this anymore. >> I think you're booing yourself. >> I think someone actually does play favorites. >> Great. >> Great. >> Mike is wrong there, but it's not wrong. It was a lesson learned. >> Right. >> You offered it straight up. >> I taught you the last-- >> No way. >> Yeah. >> Because you taught me the lesson twice. >> When I was like, Jason, come on, man. You could have extorted so much more. >> How many? >> How many of those trades that I send you? >> Zero. >> Zero. >> Zero. >> Zero. >> You started-- >> Don't be that a segment we can get to. >> You started, but you couldn't counter your own offer. That's the problem. >> Yeah. >> You wanted to counter yourself. >> Hold on, hold on, hold on. Hold on. >> Yeah, we need to start a segment. >> For Jason's sake. >> You gave me more. [LAUGHTER] >> Counter-except. [MUSIC] >> News and notes from around the league. He was expecting me to counter with better things for him. >> Yeah. >> That's what-- >> Wait, you just accepted it? >> I let you down. >> Yeah. >> All right. Here's what's going on with the Rams. It's kind of wild because, you know, Pukas is going to be out probably to week 14, 15, 16 Rams. >> That was the report, yeah. >> And yet, here we have an update on Devonte Adams, who, according to Sean McVeigh, the liar, I should preface, he is-- >> Yes. >> Oh, he's lying. >> He's lying. >> This is nonsense. Don't believe any of what you're about to read. >> He said Devonte Adams could return after the Rams, play the Packers in week 12. So that would be week 13. >> Well, he did say could. >> Could. >> That's true. >> And he could. >> Yeah. >> He won't be ready. And he won't. But he could. >> So, Pukas was not technically placed on IR due to roster manipulative stuff. >> Well, 'cause there are doubt too many injured guys. They're like, we don't have an IR spot to put him, but he's going to be out for a long time. Last time that he was out with this injury, it was six weeks. So that's going into week 16. We talked about it a little bit yesterday about whether you would trade for Pukas. Obviously, I did, but I'm playing for next year. Or if you're a team going for it this year, do you trade for a guy like that for the playoffs? And I just, I don't think that there's any, you cannot rely that he will be back for the fantasy playoffs. And you might just be trading for someone that helps you lose. >> Yeah, it's just wild though, because if either guy comes back, it'll be a potential big difference maker. >> Sure, yeah, it could. >> If one comes back with the other, it's a big deal. I think, one of the reasons I, now I had Devonte Adams early in the season, he was dominating. And then one of the reasons I didn't trade him away for somebody else, because I was afraid of the age and it kind of proved true, right? He got hurt. >> Yeah. >> One of the reasons I didn't trade him away is because I believed Pukas would get hurt. So you know, congrats to the league that I don't have Devonte Adams all by himself without Pukas. But John to them Brooks, 21-day window opened for him to return from his core muscle injury. >> All right. So, listen, I think last week was Chuba's highest percentage share of all running back carries of the year. So, like Chuba is getting everything, but this is a lot more like a Devonte gets kind of Miller situation when it is a committee. >> It's very difficult to see Jonathan Brooks having an impact. >> Due to never having to change that happened. Travis H&J and Junior's 21-day window opened up. It is possible that, you know, Kalamore said they will decide at the end of the week if he is ready to play. >> He said, we'll see, quote, we'll see there's some potential for it, but we'll just let the week play out. So I think that's, that statement feels like we don't actually know. Could happen? Could not. Or like maybe, you know, maybe not this week, maybe next week. >> Yeah, yeah. So, if this, this, this, I think is more important this week in terms of if you picked up object estimate, estimates of a very fine start this week. The matchup is great against the Carolina Panthers. He got the volume last week, but if H&J is back, then that will not be recommended to play estimate. >> No, George Pickens, back at practice in a limited fashion with the George String injury. >> He was limited last week and did not play. So I, we need to see him get some full time practice in, I believe. >> Yeah. Did you realize his snap percentage in the previous two games before injury? >> Well, he's been banged up actually for a while. >> Yeah, it was down to 60% and 57%, but the previous two games. That's what I have. >> Yeah, that's what I see. >> Yeah, that's what I'm seeing. And he was an 88, 89% guy. So. >> I didn't realize it was that low. Kind of weird. So we'll see if he's back and do you have confidence if he's back to put him right back in your lineup. I mean, I don't know if he had confidence to put him in your lineup before, I mean, probably because it's like, he just has like a low end wide receiver too. I mean, you know, are you going to play Denzel Boston against Houston? >> Right. >> Are you going to play-- >> You play Jamie's and Williams over him? >> Yes. >> I would. Yeah, I like Jaymo this week. >> And it's not a great match up against the-- >> Yeah. >> So it's not a, like, you got to get George back in your lineup because it hasn't been working this year, but he's definitely still a much higher odds of being a buzz saw player than most other guys. >> Drew Locke, limited on Wednesday, Debo Samo returned to a limited practice. >> Hey, Debo. >> They try to figure out who's going to play football. DMP for Mike Evans not expected to play, the Mike Evans thing, you're going to be, you know, this is like stepping out on a frozen lake. Sure. You're like, maybe I'm going to go through, but maybe not. Oh, maybe I'll make it. But I have a great short cut. Yes. Uh, Mike Ravel said AJ Brown will travel with the team to Munich was limited on Wednesday. I don't know if we get him back. I don't know if he'd play him if he was back, but without AJ Brown, you all of a sudden you open up the DiMario Douglas Mac Collins conversation for a possible, you know, break glass. Yeah. Yeah. Mac Collins did get back into the swinging things. I think six targets that touched down last week. Let's talk starts. Starts of the week brought to you by Apple card. Jason Moore, you, uh, you weren't here last week. Let's let you kick it off. I'm going to Munich, baby. Uh, we're going with Jared Goff versus new England. Goff had such a bad down game last week. But he's the quarterback nine on the season 5th and passing art 7th and passing completion percentage of lions are implied for 27 points this week. And the Patriots defense has actually been really, really bad. Um, I know they've, they've won a lot of games, but dead last and passing arts allowed 27 that passed success rate 30 of them in completion rate allowed. You saw, um, last week. Yes, you did. Jordan love got brutalized, um, cruising as always. Yes. Not a good. Yeah. I'm not that weak. So yeah. All right. I'll jump in. It's time to ride. We're back, baby. Okay. Tyler Shuck aka the Shuck daddy. He gets Carolina. He in fact has five top 10 finishes on the year that as many as Jordan love and somehow one more than Josh Allen. Here we are. It's going to be a fast pace game. Both teams play extremely fast and Shuck is averaging nearly 43 dropbacks per game. Slightly ahead of Bryce Young, who is almost at 43 as well. And Carolina can't create pressure and if Tyler Shuck has time and look, maybe we get some more Jordan Tyson this week, but even if that doesn't work out, Tyler Shuck is, he's back as a strong play this week for me. And I'm going with Brock party against Dallas, a 55.5. Over under highest implied point total of the week. It doesn't matter who's starting a wider see where he seems to get it done every single week. What's crazy is he's on pace for 427 rushing yards this season, which is a it would be his career high by by about a hundred yards. So Brock party gets Dallas. Also anyone against Dallas. Yeah, that makes sense. I'm going to go out running back with all. Yes. Gordon. Yes. This is a great one. Going more Germany. Allie. Allie. Oxen free. Is that German? I don't know. Allie. Gordon at Indianapolis. Yeah. He owns the backfield. He gets he gets 36% of the team's total rushing attempts. The matchup against the Indianapolis Colts. I mean, they just got rid of half of their defense. And before that, they weren't allowing, you know, they were 30th and scheduled adjusted fantasy points to running backs. Although I know that. Allie. Allie. Oxen free. Maybe a corruption of an ungrammatical ungrammatical German phrase. Yeah. I was right. German. Allie. Allie. Oxen free. There you go. Amazing. But yeah, I mean, the genetic corruption. I've never heard of that in language. Oh, you, I mean, that's what I do. Those words are corrupted. They're so bad. We get, you had Tutan and Rodriguez go for 145 and two Javante Williams and Goodson last week. 178 yards. Great start. So even though Malik Willis is out and you might be scared, what are the dolphins off its due? Yeah, we'll be fine because they made trades because the Colts were like, we're rebuilding. And running backs are going to be just fine against them. Speaking of just fine, I'm calling for the bounce back. It's been rough for the King, the Yeti. Derek Henry takes on the Chargers Monday night football last four weeks under 60 rushing yards and all four of them averaging just over seven points, 3.4 yards per carry. But I do believe that Jacoby Berset being there. Even though he's not the world's greatest quarterback, he is good enough that we can get things going for the for the Ravens and get Derek Henry going again and Los Angeles 30th and explosive rush rate allowed. That's great for Derek. 29th and yards after contact. There's just and the Baltimore Ravens are four and a half point favorites against the Chargers. So we're back. I benched Henry last week. Yeah. And I'm back. Well, Jacoby is hope. Yes. Chuba Hubbard is my running back start of the week in that New Orleans game. You talked about the opportunities are outrageous for him. He seems to have a, you know, a significant amount of chunk plays per week on the ground. Saints rushed defense has been weak. That game's crazy to me in general. If you told me Carolina blew him out, if you told me New Orleans blew him out, if you told me both teams scored a million points, like I'd believe it all. Like I don't know what that division is. You know what I'm saying? And it should be a fun one. So I'm going to go Chuba. Wait, did we do a trade, Jay? Yeah, we did, Mike. Oh, right in the middle of starts of the week. I thought you're what the heck. Oh, come on. We'll hold on. Breaking news breaking news. So Mike, I have acquired Jordan Tyson. So you just went all in on I have, uh, you have no metaphorically, as they say, emptied the clip. Yeah. Yeah. You have no two, three, four, five picks. That's right. But he's got the right daddy. Uh, Jordan Tyson. Jason's just, Jason is loaded. Jason's just doing. I'm just trying to tear it down. It's so crazy. Because you like trade for these dudes that I think are part of your future keeper plan. And then they're just gone. I'm just, whatever. Who's your keepers right now? Uh, right now, Puka would be my franchise. And then I've got, um, the Bonnet Chan and Lamar Jackson and then TBD on the next. Yeah, TB Montgomery, Montgomery. I'll make more moves. I'm, I'm gonna find you a lot of pit. Well, you said make you an offering. Can't refuse. Yeah. And you did. That's see. There you go. This is what I do. Did that happen, mid show? Did that offer? I didn't even see me offering though. And during, no, no, I sent the offer just before the show started. And Kyle sent me, we, you know, it, what did we, what? There's no trade deadline that will save us from this. Yeah. You guys, you can't make it. Let's do a deadline. We would like to retroactively make it week four. I would because it's so much better for my team. Wait, when did the H&N injury happen? I don't want to go back before that. Yeah. Uh, I'd like to go back before the, uh, Jacobs and Lamar trade remind me to tell you something next week. Okay? We got a reminder set. Are we under wide receivers? Yes. I believe so. Oh my gosh. I'm doing this. Are you surprised? Zay flower? Well, I'm surprised that look, there's a gap. There's a gap between not relevant garbage and start of the week. And I thought maybe we'd be living somewhere in between those. No, I think Zay flowers is someone you need to put right into your lineup. Got it. He's in. Yeah. Zay flowers. It, the matchup is good against the chargers. Jacobi were set. We, we have seen him. You know, he was great for Michael Wilson, great for Tremac bride. He's not good. But Zay flowers is awesome. And he is going to hyper target 36% of his first free target share six, but best among all watching. The chargers secondary is falling apart. They traded an important part of their defense at the deadline as well. So I guess this is the question, right? Like people aren't sure do I wait and see what I get from brassette with Zay flowers? I'm, I'm going to say you don't want to see that on your bench. I'm with you that. That Jacobi can get the ball to the wide receiver. And he'll throw a lot. So I'm with you. Zay flowers is back in my lineup after being benched last week. So I'm very optimistic in the matchup. Certainly helps. Speaking of matchups, Jay, you weren't jared golf. I'm going with Jamison Williams because I saw what happened to Christian Gonzalez last week. When you get speed, can he handle it? Uh, that is TBD. And this is wild. Since week three, the Patriots are far and away. The premier matchup for wide receivers. So 31st. As in the second best matchup for wide receivers above expectations, the Tennessee Titans six and a half. So you expect the wide receiver crew to score six and a half points more than they do on average. The New England Patriots are 9.6. A three point gap between them and second worst. The highest, the, they've allowed the highest yards per attempt and highest explosive pass rate. That's that's that's Jamison Williams. So I'm putting them in. Speaking of explosive plays, I want to put Adnan Mitchell or Garrett Wilson into my line at this week against Buffalo. When Buffalo has not played quarterbacks named Carson wins or Joe Fignano, they were the premium number one matchup. You just talked about the, the New England Patriots. Buffalo was 30 second against wide receivers before they played wins and Fignano. Do I think it's been completely fixed? No, I think they played wins in Fignano. Garrett Wilson, if he's healthy and active, put him right back into your lineup. I know people have been really disappointed. If he's not, Omar Cooper is dealing with injury again. Adnan Mitchell, I think you can put him in against Buffalo. I'm kind of throwing both those names out there. and I think you can rock with him. - At tight end, I'm going to start the last receiver standing for the Colts. I know we've been disappointed with Tyler Warren, but I think he's gonna have just all of the targets. You've got Laquan Treadwell, Ashen Doolan, and Anthony Gold as your wide receiver core. He's had a 27% target share targeted on 30% of his routes since back from the injury two weeks ago. I mean, no Josh Downs, no Keenan Allen. Miami is a plus matchup for tight ends in general. And, you know, I'm disappointed with how he's been playing. He doesn't look explosive, but I think the volume will be like enough. - All right, we had a phone call on the show. - Steel underpants. - I'm going to Tyler Higby. - They wanted more than steel, man. - They, well. (laughing) - I just went and looked, and I did, in fact, need to upgrade the underpants, 'cause it has been 13 yards, 14 yards, 14 yards, 22. - Why Higby over Colby Parkinson's? - Because he's running more routes, and Colby Parkinson's banged up. - Parkinson's ever more targets, more fantasy points. I just, I've had the hardest time trying to hone in on which guy I would, if you put, you know, me in that spot, I don't know which one to do. - Yeah, so last week, it was 35 routes to 23. It was five to four targets. Parkinson caught all four of his for 13 yards. Higby had five targets. Like, and I mean, the average depth of target for Colby was negative 1.7. Like, I want big boy targets, and that's, Higby gets more of those with the wide receiver's gone for the team. They have to reshape, they have to retool. And I would, I'm going to take my chance that Higby gets the bigger plays. - Parkinson could end up, what, two for 10 with a touchdown? Absolutely, but I'm going to chase the volume of Higby. I guess the underpants are on. It's not a, like, this is a home run type of a play. - No, I want to try to make a guess on who gets the big game for the Rams. It's not going to, like, pass attempts, I think, stavards leading the league on the year. Like, I want the shot at it. Now, whether it's Atwell, Momfield, Higby, Parkinson, that's my biggest challenge. - Yeah, I think Tyler Higby is, we're back with a Mr. Necessary situation. And the matchup is the Arizona Cardinals. So this, this, wait, what was that? - I'm just saying, I know the matchup, the Arizona Cardinals, awful, awful defense, target them. But remember, they played the Rams a couple of weeks ago, and this was like the LaFlore-- - This is the exact same situation. - Sure, well, this is a brand new thing. They have to take their playbook and tear it up, 'cause they got to figure out something new. - I'm going to go Isaiah likely tonight, the Washington game where he had it-- - I'm for it. - 11 for 94 and 2. The quarterback situations making everybody shaking their boots a little bit, it's just Malik neighbors. It's, I think there's going to be some ups and downs for all these guys on a week to week basis, but the commanders are the best matchup, almost the best matchup in the league for tight ends. That was starts of the week brought to you by Apple Card, applying the wallet app today. On your iPhone, subject credit approval, Apple Card is issued by Goldman Sachs Bank USA, Salt Lake City Branch Terms, and more at applecard.com. We'll take a break and we'll jump into the forecast. (upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music) (upbeat rock music) - Fantasy Forecast, presented by prize pigs. (upbeat rock music) - Well, Aaron Rodgers and the Steelers, and Mr. Kim Ward and the Titans coming back from the buy, Bears Broncos, Bucks, and Eagles taking the week off. So we have a lot of big time players on buy this week. The Munich game, Mike, you want to give it one more shot? Or did you close? - I did close up, but I could say, Eek, Ben, I'm Berliner, that's me and JFK. I'll be honest, I'm pretty afraid when you speak German. - Oh, me too, but that one, that one I know, that's a legendary one of JFK said that, 'cause he's trying to say I'm a Berliner, but apparently the translation was something like I'm a jelly donut. - Oh, that is become the urban legend around it. - Okay. - I don't know if any, how much of that is true. - You know history. - Other than he did say that. - All right, New England, five and four, Detroit, six and two in Munich. That's fun. Detroit minus two and a half over under 51.5, a Rable V Campbell, a man's man, matcha. - They should have to suit up. - They did face each other. - Wait, wait, wait. - In 2006. - In this game, Rable and Campbell should have to play. - I have to play. I think they need to be in full uniform. - I heard suit. - I think that would be more fun as a guy. - You were like, no, they both need to be in fancy suits. - Yes. - I heard suit up. - Yeah. - I'm like, why are we putting Campbell in a suit? - Kyle has done the deep research to find out that in 2006, Rable intercepted a pass that was intended for Dan Campbell. - Okay, so we know who's gonna win. - We paid for that. - Yeah. - But we paid for Kyle to look that up. - I think that's an awesome set. - That's no, what, the rematch of the ties. - But this is pretty good. - It's not bad. Drake May has been a top 10 quarterback for all six weeks that Al has not had them on the team. - Yeah. - I don't, I think this was in most leagues. In most leagues, you dropped or moved on from Drake May because three weeks in, he hadn't scored 10 fantasy points in a game. - They looked brilliant. - And since then, he's just been magma. - Do you know that before every episode, we asked Al more than to insert a knife into himself so we can twist it during the show? - And he does. - And he does it for us. - Thank you. - Jared Goff is your start of the week. So you have him on the, you know, in a situation that you can be confident in. We talked about the secondary having major problems. I couldn't imagine a more opposite running back room right now than Jemeer Gibbs and the Lions, who will, you know, yeah, play Gibbs. Play Gibbs every week, he is on pace to win you a title. Versus the, now, you know, there's no Ramondra Stevenson. Trayvon Henderson, we don't expect to return. Land Larison is going to get third down snaps. Cory Keiner, who took over during the injury to Ramondra last week was good on the ground and has looked okay. His prize picks projection is 52 and a half rushing yards. That's not bad. Now the, the Lions are number two over the last six weeks and Fancy points a lot to running back. And I also don't think in a game where it's a shootout where you're an underdog. If you lose dirt, here's the problem. If it goes Detroit winning this game, like they're leading a lot. And Keiner's not getting passing down. - Which you will, I'd say. - That's not his thing. - Cory Keiner on the season has two targets. - Yeah, it's Land Larison. That's gonna get that worse. - Who's Land Larison? That's what we got. That's what we'd all love to know. That's what we'd love to know. - That's the Madden creator player. - Yeah. Land Larison. - Sorry, Land. - Yeah, that's not, that's what we're hearing. - This is his dreams are coming true right now. His dreams are coming true. - This is part of the dream. You get crapped on by, by idiots. - That's true. You made, you made the show, which is great. So would you play Keiner or Estimae? I'd probably play Estimae. - As long as H&S out, I would way prefer Audric Estimae. But Keiner is just, Keiner's an emergency play. And you're good player. - Yeah, I think so. - But it's just a tough match up. - Yeah, you, you have to hope that the play turns out. - Would you play Jinti or Keiner? - Oh, oh man. - Jinti plays with Mendoza against Seattle. I can promise you. - They play Seattle. - I can promise you Jinti will be doing nothing this week. - Oh, he will. - Nothing. - I don't know. He could recreate his. - You think Jinti can catch it with Mendoza? - Fight for negative five or whatever. - Let me rephrase. He will do nothing on the ground this week. - Yeah. You gotta hope Jinti catches a bond. - You could play Jinti over Keiner. - Yes, we would, of course. - Okay. - I'm on raw, yes. - But it's gonna be wrong. - Jamies and Williams are starting the week. I know. - It's gonna be wrong, but there's no freaking way, I would. - There are things in fantasy that you know are going to be wrong and you just, you gotta do the wrong thing. - People who gotta do the wrong thing. - People have been comping and showing the comparison numbers between Trent Richardson and Ash and Jinti for his entire career. For these two years, it's just been like week after week, the updates of like, and it just felt like, that's not gonna, like Trent Richardson. - That can't happen. - Got exposed as a complete bus despite having a really successful rookie year of scoring touchdowns. And then, and then it was just like over and gone. And now it's like, could this be the path for, could Jinti just turn into borderline nothing? - Sam Laporta started the year very well. The last three weeks tied in 38, 26, 25. Unfortunately, there are just games where Laporta is not necessary. Jaymo was out, Amanorawa was out. Laporta takes on a huge role. He's kind of an upgraded version of Jake Ferguson of the Cowboys in the sense that you can have a week with a touchdown or a big play. I mean, he's better than Ferguson to be clear. - Well, and the Patriots past defense for like Mike was talking about that, what they're doing against wide receivers means that teams continue to use their wide receivers and therefore not their tight ends. So it's not a great match up either for Laporta. Kansas City at six and two takes on the three, oh, let me ask real quick. If you're starting a wide receiver for the Patriots. - Is AJ Brown there? - No. To me, I would start Matt Collins. I looked into this a little bit. I would start Matt Collins. I think Matt Collins is, you have a much higher chance of a touchdown and the targets were back. And I think they're all, - You think Douglas is fine? - Yeah, based off of the environment of the matchup, like the Patriots will have to score points. This is not gonna be a 10 to 7 type of a game. They're gonna have to keep up. Hunter Henry, if he's healthy enough, which he's been a bit banged up over the last couple of weeks, still playing, but this is like a premier matchup for the tight end position. So I think Hunter Henry is definitely in play. All right, let's move on to the Kansas City Chiefs at six and two, traveling to Atlanta who are three and six. This seems like such the kind of game at Atlanta just finds a way to win. Right? They win the dumbest games that seem like there's no chance. - And they blow 'em out. - And they kill 'em? This is Kansas City minus three on the road, over under 46 and a half. - With the Falcons, I think every week, you just need to believe whatever the opposite of what should be true is. - Yeah, it makes me wanna hit the button, but I'm gun shy right now. But now we believe maybe that is, you know, the opposite's what we're thinking. So maybe we gotta think the opposite. - We think about faking left. - Where am I? - Kansas City got back on track last week. Who else got back on track? Ken Bone Walker. - That's right. - Second in rushing yards this year to be John, number one in force, Miss Tackles. I was actually happy to see that after the big game for, you know, his backup, Emmett Johnson, that Johnson didn't get like a pile more work, you know? - No. - So Ken Walker, yeah. Beigeon, a battle of two of the best in the game. Where are you right now with Drake London? I feel like we've been waiting for the Drake London consistency to happen. He hasn't had a top 12 week since, he's had won all year in week three, you know, five for 68 last week. You can throw the rain game out, but like I received a 24, 16, 30, 14, 31. - Yes. - It's touchdowns, really. I mean, he's like, if you look at the last seven games, he's on pace for 1,486 yards. He's not, like this is not bad, but he's got no touchdowns. Like he's had one touchdown on the season. - It's very face brown. - Yeah, for fantasy football. I mean, if you don't score touchdowns, you're not going to have great fantasy outputs. I would not project this to be the game where you say, this is the get right game against the chiefs, but you're still going to start him. I mean, you know, if you look back, two weeks ago, eight yards. But that was the rain game. - Yeah, that was the rain game. Other than that, 68 yards, 66, 6, 2, 118, 9, 6, 294. Like he is, he's still a star, wide receiver one, just need those matchups where he could score touchdowns. - Yeah, I think the thing that happened with Jake London is your first game that we got my, got Pennix. Jake London went for 9 for 194. And so it was like, oh, I guess we do have a superstar instead of, so I think you're just your hopes, maybe got a little too inflated, where he's still a really solid play. - Rashi Rice, Josh Downs. Probably not going to have Zaver worthy. The wide receiver room for the chiefs. You know, I think people are playing Rashi Rice right now. Josh Down during a wait and see, or are you willing to play him? - No, I would not play him. I would wait and see, we haven't seen great wide receiver or offensive output, I feel like. - Give it to Ken Bone and move on. - Yeah. - Oh, okay, we will. - Well, who would you play at Titan within this own matchup? - Oh, Kelsey. - That was very easy for you. - That's so funny because the matchup is Kyle Pits. - Yeah. - The matchup matters not. - I, yes, that's where I was going to go. - I mean, Kelsey's been good. Kelsey's the, the Titan six on the year. I, I couldn't see myself doing that. - No. - I feel like we, you could get lucky with pets. You always can. - I think we've had Kyle Pits be the start of a week, a couple times because a matchup was so good. I know he was my start of the week last week 'cause he played the freaking bangles. Do you know how many yards he's on pace for this season? Do you want to guess? - I'll go 600. - You wish. - Really? - 400 and close. - Four 15. - Wow. - Disgusting. - Four 15. - How many touchdowns are? - Some. - Okay. - Seven. - Seven. - Seven six. - Oh my. - I'd go Kelsey. Houston, three and five. Cleveland Browns, five and four. Vegas line is Houston on the road, minus four and a half. Things are, things are changing quick on the perception of the Texans. The overrunters, 41 and a half, low scoring game. You've got lots of starts that kind of conversations here. The Cleveland Browns have their own starts at decisions. Who's playing quarterback? - They announced Watson, didn't they? Did they revert that? - They reverted it like immediately. - I thought they announced it even again. - Then that would have been the second one and I missed it. - Two announcements. - I know like-- - Do we have an announcement? - Right after the game, it was like, okay Watson's gonna be the starter again and then it was Malkin saying, "Why do you need to watch the film?" - He will start in week two. - Okay, so that is. So Watson, which look, I'm playing Harold Fanon. He leads all tight ends and force missed tackles. He is gonna start for me this week. - He is a great player. - When you look at the land, we had the conversation yesterday, Jason brought Fanon's name up. When you look at the landscape of what F's at tight end, you need the crazy athleticism of Harold Fanon. Like if you just put Harold Fanon in an awesome offense, he would be a top tier tight end. - Yes. - He's in the same talent level just around the, you know, he could get up to that McBride level. - Yeah, I think he's a tier two guy. All these players on the Cleveland Browns, if we could magically place them somewhere else would be, like Judgans and Gensel Boston and Conceptions. - I do worry a little bit for Fanon this week. It's not a good matchup. The Texans have been both great against tight ends and very bad against wide receivers. And so we talk about the Browns, like one guy's gonna have a good game. And so if Boston or Conception in this matchup had good games, it would probably come at the expense of Fanon. - I'm more, like all those positive things, but I think Harold Fanon's great. I don't really like him this week. If I'm picking, if I have to spend the wheel of which Cleveland Browns gonna hit, but you're not playing the, you're not going down to the Higby level. - Over Fanon? - I mean, that seems, that seems to be something I wouldn't do. - I might, but if I'm picking a guy from Cleveland, he didn't practice on Wednesday, but Denzel Boston would be my pick this week. - You said Boston didn't practice? - Correct, he didn't practice on Wednesday. - That's what made you like him. - Yes, I like him because that's what, the matchup where Houston is getting beat, the most for fancy points would be Denzel Boston's archetype. - Yeah, I'm gonna, I'll tell you, I'm gonna play Fanon over Tucker Kraft this week. - All right. - Tucker Kraft plays Minnesota. I'm gonna play him over Hunter Henry Dillon with whatever issues he's got going on. - I can't imagine. - Oh, I'd play Henry over. I'd play Henry over Fanon. - Yeah, there you go. - You'd play Hunter Henry over Fanon. And I'm gonna stay with Fanon. Woody Marks, Crenshaw and Judkins. - Gross. - They both feel like guys that are just gonna go out there and play a bunch and not give you what you want. - They should be, okay, honestly, they should be okay, but I don't know that, how do you possibly start? - So Judkins, Judkins has had basically two good games this year, the two games he scored. Otherwise, - Estimate. - He's averaging 3.3, a carry. - Estimate or Woody Marks? - I'd play Estimate if he was, if there was no change to that depth chart. - Yeah, I call it Donaldson coming back or something like that. - Yeah, if H, if H and Juniors out, yeah, yeah. - Yeah, I mean, Judkins since Dylan Samson came back has been, he's not gonna get the password. - Yeah, Dylan Samson is getting a lot of work. - Yeah, he's gonna ruin Judkins. - He's had the goal line chances, hasn't capitalized on them very much and it's gonna be a touchdown or a bus game and you're going up against Houston. So, Nico Collins tanked out, Marvin Harrison, Keishan Booty, Xavier Hutchinson should be in this list. He's well more deserving than Marvin Harrison to be on that list, agreed. I mean, these are like impossible to answer questions to a degree. Nico's in there, but like, if you had to start a second guy, I think you have just as high of an odds personally of Hutchinson having a better game than Dell, Dell having a better game than Hutchinson. All I know, the only thing I know is that Marvin won't have the better game. - Yes, if I had to start a second-wide receiver and I wouldn't recommend it personally, it would be Tank Dell. - That's where I would go to. - He played 47% of the snaps and had nine targets and we know that he had a great rapport with CJ Stroud before, the fact that we're seeing it right now. That would be my number two pick, but I'm not like loving starting Tank Dell or saying you should. - Okay, yeah, I think it's kind of coin flip territory beyond Nico, unfortunately. And Cleveland's not a bad defense. So, and they shut down wide out. So maybe it's Nico and nobody. - Yeah. - And then otherwise, Monk Hummery's not coming back yet. I don't know if we care if he comes back. Are you starting CJ Stroud? The one area of the Browns has been pretty great against Fantasy Wise. Like Stroud has so many weapons, they can't run the football, you should be able to play him, but it is on the road. It's against Cleveland, they're 10th against quarterbacks and fantasy points adjusted. Like, adjusted fantasy points. I think it's fine as a low wind, QB1 starter in terms of projections. I, you play golf. - Oh yeah, I play golf. I'd probably play Bryce Young. - I was gonna ask about Bryce Young. I think I would play Bryce Young in front of them. - A little streaming quarterback off in this week. All right, this is gonna be a heck of a game. Minnesota Vikings at six and two, Kirkgo Chains is back. What do you do, Green Bay Packers? six in three in Lambo, Green Bay minus three over under 42 and a half. Packers have been playing out of their minds. Viking's defense has been outstanding. Now you have an offensive. Like, did you see the bitterness in the Flores press conference about Kirk cousins getting? Oh, he is. Oh, yeah. He is not happy about this. He couldn't believe the compensation. He's like, he thought it was so cheap, super, super cheap. Um, that's just it. Here's what it is. Because of how much because of how much he respects Kirk cousins and his, his ability. It's no different than in our fantasy league. When your competition gets the guy, you're so bitter beer face. What? But yeah, it's funny. I think that one of the hardest decisions this entire week at any position is Jordan love because Jordan love. How in the world do you bench Jordan love? Yeah, I'll tell you how the Minnesota Vikings defense. I mean, you got their number one in the last six weeks. They're number one on the season. They're number one in schedule adjusted like against quarter back. Josh Allen put up 17. Yeah. It's so the last six weeks, they're averaging 6.5 fantasy points given up to quarterback. My, my biggest concern here. If I had to, if I had to project the way the game is going to go. And by the way, they're going to get March on Lloyd back and Caleb Johnson will be in their impure strong will be in their blob, blob gross. I'm not playing a running back. I'm not messing. I thought about messing around with Caleb Johnson. If he was going to, if March on Lloyd was out again, but I'm not going to do that. Here's the problem. Well, will Jordan love have any time to be able to wait a second half to, to let Christian Watson and Matthew golden get beyond 10 years on the field. Hit the superpowers been, Hey, check, check this out. Yeah, but you need time. You need time. And they're going to throw so many looks at him that I'm trying to figure out where this offense like is it going to be? I'd love to say, Oh, Tucker Kraus is going to benefit from short area targets. Well, that hasn't worked for anybody against Minnesota. They're pretty much the worst matchup for tight ends and every other position. So Jordan love. Did we mention his, that they've already played. Do we bring up his stat? I could, sorry, I can't remember if we had said it, but Jordan love in week one through the ball 42 times, 387 yards and two touchdowns. Now, that was only good for QB 11 on the week, but he was still playable. Got it done. I don't know if you have somebody to move on. Like, are you playing Bryce Young or Jordan love? So I've got Bryce Young one spot ahead of Jordan love. And I've got CJ Stroud ahead of Jordan love as well. So Jordan love to me this week is my quarterback. Al Borland said he thinks he's playing Bryce Young over love. Yeah, I don't blame you. That's. Sheesh. Yeah. Sheesh. That's tough. And then you're going to get your first week of Kirk and back in the offense and to be clear, I mean, this is just a match made in heaven. You, in fact, you could very rarely find a situation that is like like Jacobi's coming over as struggled in Arizona barely wanting to games. He's a much better option for Baltimore, but he's also going there in correct learn something. Kirk is the best possible situation where you've got a guy kind of like in triple A on another team. And he just comes up and he knows everything about the system. But it's green Bay like green Bay is a they've been a very good defense. Not necessarily against the Whiteout. Maybe you like Jefferson this week. Maybe you're going to play no matter what is projection. I mean, it's higher than I thought it was. Prize picks has it at 77 and a half. I because they're going to feed him. He's been talking. We know Mike's going more. Yes. I will. I'm in. I do. Like everything is perfect. I still think it'll take like a week or two until we get like the Vikings running at maximum power here. But I'm very excited. I'm I wonder where Jefferson goes comes back from from the dead to be an elite wide receiver in my opinion. And it really helps the the running backs. Like the huge is problem for Aaron Jones and Jordan Mason was that you didn't have to worry at all about the passing game. Now if you actually have to worry about it and the Vikings are scoring more points. These guys like, I don't know if this is the way hurts. The way. The committee. Oh yeah. Yeah. But yes. No one here is full time. And these aren't like superstar plays. But I'm saying maybe even by next week. We're like, yeah. All right. We get we have some actual touchdown upside now. And we can get these guys back into the lineup. Since he's been the benchmark as you start of the week. Hague beer craft. Gosh. I think. I think I'd still go craft there, but it's not. That's not like a full confidence play. All right. We'll take a break. We got four matchups left. And this next one. It's going to go. There's some good. It's going to go real bad for one of these teams. Jacksonville at six and two taking on the one and seven Tennessee Titans. Jacksonville minus ten and a half on the road over under 46 and a half gives Tennessee under right at 18 points implied point total. Jacksonville 28 and a half. The division's over. Jacksonville has won it. We just need the game to go by. Yeah. I mean, Jacksonville's won the division, but they are, I mean, they are absolutely 100% playing for a Super Bowl. This team looks great. I love them even more. Yeah. I do too. They were fun. They were great team. Cohen has given us an awesome offense. They already had a, you know, a strong defense. And they're like, no, we are not content. Yeah. Like if you missed, uh, there was, and I'm sure tons of coaches are giving great speeches. We don't get to see them all. Cohen had like a, like we, we all watched it. We're freaking fired up. Yeah. Like I don't want to do some pushups right then and there. Like this is, I love so much. What Jacksonville is doing? Can you play a Titan? You can. I mean, Tony baller. I think he a Tony baller was not available. No, we can't trade. I mean, we don't look. Here's, here's what sucks. They're coming off the buy, right? Aren't they? Yes. So Carnell Tate, not practicing after the power. Yeah. That was so disappointing. He's hurt. Carnell Tate has a guy who wants to flip him for some assets. So we probably really, I know you need this by this trade deadline pushback. That's right. I've got to get tape back out there dominating. Um, can you get accepted? You have two, three, you have three, two. Yeah. How many threes? Two. Can we get trading? You have to pick up a form for Carnell Tate for Jason over here, which is like a five and a six with where he's just so you know, yeah. I'm actually surprised. At which side now that I'm surprised, you're surprised now that I'm thinking about it like a four or five for where Tyson will go next year's draft. Good. You're just saying because Puka has to be your, he doesn't have to be though, right? He does, well, he does know. Okay. I, I felt like I just thought your franchise might be a running back and you'd go, I felt like I, that was like, I got to push with these picks because of Jason. Well, he'll realize Puka has to be his for what you're doing. Mm-hmm. You can't risk if you're like, okay, maybe I get two of these three and you go in an extra with Tyson and Carnell Tate is Chuck and Tyson in your lineup this week. Don't write. Yeah, I bet I, I just don't, I thought so. Speaking of two in Bay, she'll didn't practice on Wednesday. Doesn't need it. It's a dog. He might need it. No, well, he doesn't need practice. He needs to be out against the Titans. If he's active, you play him. He, if you recall, last week he was a full game time decision. Now he got pretty limited work. Yeah, I assume that bothers me. I assume that had to do with the game and, and how it was not really, that was just a formality of players have to be on the field until the 60 minutes is over. But you could see that being. Yeah, which could be the exact same thing for here. So we're, we're back. If I, if Tuton is active, I'm still going to play him. Crod is another one of those. Well, maybe you get another touchdown type of a situation if you're desperate. I would be surprised if Crod does not get a touchdown in this game. Okay. I mean, he's, he's had four touchdowns on the season. I expect him to play probably at least 50% of the snaps and share time. He is nowhere near as good as baseball, Tuton. But I think Crod is that's Chris Rodriguez, Jr. I think he is a flex option this week in a matchup where you expect them to win Handelietan and a half point home favorites. Yeah, road favorite efficiency was bad for both of those guys last week, but I mean, goal line carry thrown in there for, for a small sample. But Rodriguez did leave the lead the team in snaps and routes at the running back position. I'm just, I'm just week by week. I'm just more entertained by Jason's weird like waiver wire pickups in this league race playing for next year. What I do, you swapped stowers for Cedica. You just keep grinding on these like, what if guys and it's just so funny to watch this whole playing for next year thing is I'm going to be honest with incredible comedy. I can't wait for next year. I'm tired of not caring about this year. Like, I, uh, next year's should be awesome. Parker Washington put him in your lineup. But beyond that, do you have any confidence in any past catchers for Jacksonville? Not really a liability standpoint. Not from a reliability standpoint. Obviously, either Jacobi Myers, even Brian Thomas Jr. could, they could do something. Jacobi should, Jacobi was a did not practice, of course. That's like, he should do something. Yeah. But, but you, you really don't think they're gonna throw the ball that much. I mean, you look at what Trevor Lawrence has done. And his second halves of this season, he's not needed to do much. You know, he had 14 past attempts two weeks ago when they've won 42 to seven. And, um, you know, hopefully what we saw recently from the Titans carries over and they, they show up and they, they make this one more competitive game. It's the NFL that can absolutely happen. If they don't and if they show up the way they've been the majority of the season, this will be, um, I don't really want not even like Trevor Lawrence, okay, but I'm not expecting huge things from him or the passing game. All right, Miami's one in seven, but they get to play the two in seven Colts and found it worse in foundational running back, John the Taylor, Indie minus three and a half at home over under 38 and a half gross gross. Yeah, I mean, it's my problem with the start of the week of Oli Gordon is that I, he's always been getting the work. I am just Kyle McCord does not inspire me to believe that this defense doesn't just shut down Oli Gordon and let the rest of the chips fall. I just don't know if this defense has a physical ability to shut him down. Obviously, they're going to focus on. Right. No. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's just one play. So, uh, incredibly Kyle McCord projected for 159 yards. Caleb Douglas is, is not of consideration for me anymore. I mean, I got rid of him yesterday. I don't care. Like, there's better opt. I'd rather play two to out well with Matthew Stafford and a chance for something big and some scores than a team with a 17 point and applied point total on the road with Kyle McCord. Yeah. I mean, if 159 yards, Stafford will throw for 300. If I had to start one of those guys, it's absolutely too too. I'm not, I'm not starting absolutely, absolutely. But if I have to roster one on my bench, I'm still hopeful that Caleb Douglas and Kyle McCord could do something and obviously this, this is not a very difficult matchup. So, um, maybe Kyle McCord comes and I'm not hopeful that he can do something. You're not. No, I'm not. And up well, it's gross, but I think it's fair to ask a question. Are you 100% sure? Comma court is not well, not just like sort of close to Malik Willis in terms of the passer. Maybe as a passer, but not for moving this football team down the field to anywhere near the painted area. Because Malik, what was that projection you gave 156 Malik Willis averaged 175 passing yards. Yeah. Yeah. But Caleb Douglas was fine with that with that pie. At least at least Malik offered you something and running game and read out something to move down the field. I would rather have Malik Willis be my starting quarterback over Comma court. I'm just throwing for fantasy football. No, I mean, I don't, I'm not like out on Caleb Douglas. I don't really want to play him this week to find out live on my starting roster. But I'd like, I'd still want him on my bench just to see because I don't know. It wasn't great. No, no, you couldn't have started him before with any confidence. Anyways, yeah. The game is pretty easy though. It's start Jonathan Taylor, Ollie Gordon and Tyler Warren. They didn't know anyone else. You freaking better give Taylor work. Oh, Mike is going to be. Oh, they will. They will. I don't know. They like, we're steadfast of, we promised we're not trading him. They didn't, but they were giving him no work. They were still, they were still listening to offers and considering now that the trade deadline is over, you're going to see him get a ton of work in this game. He better. Oh, I'm not positive with that. Yeah. I'm not positive either. It's the rational coaching you 100% should. Like if you're, I mean, if you're positioning for offseason trade and McGowan's next man up, I'm not 100% sure. They're dumb. Let's be very clear. They don't apply rationality to this team. Yeah. I, you should. They should. And it makes no sense. Not to. And if you're going to keep the dude, just let him be your, like, lightning. Yeah. Are you trying to win football games? Yeah, it's just going to give him the ball. It's their favorite, but they're projected for, I mean, 38 and a half points. I'm not excited about that. If they win this game and someone has to, by the way, they could tie. No, that's okay. They could tie. But if they, if they would, I wouldn't know some time revenge games there are, it'll be on the back of Jonathan Taylor. Carolina three and five. Norland's three and five. Vegas line. Norland's minus two and a half over under 48 and a half. I said it earlier, this, this division, by the way, let me just read you the, the records three and five, three and five, three and six, three and six. That's your NFC cell. That should not be permitted to make the playoffs. Agreed. That being said, if you told me that New Orleans dominated this game in one by three scores, I'd be like, yeah, I can see that. If you told me that Carolina dominated and won this game by two scores, I'd be like, yeah, that makes sense. Bryce Young, great matchup. Like they have, they have the better defense, right? Like I think that the Panthers defenses, I mean, neither of them are good. Yeah. If you told me that they're better, if you told me that this is a divisional low scoring game, I will not believe you. I will not. I think this one, the pace of play of both these teams, the offenses of both these teams versus the defenses of both these teams, I, I really, I was surprised that this was a 48 and a half point over under. I expected this to be a 50 burger. Yeah. I still didn't see what I wanted to see from the New Orleans offensive line last week, but they, I mean, they won, but it was, it went to the wire, right? I mean, Cleveland at two point. Right now, this is Cleveland or Carolina camp pressure. So yeah, that's the all right. That's that's the one area. Yeah, I think, you know, a nice, you know, 28 to 31 game would be pretty cool. Mm-hmm. These teams are neutral pace, number one and number two in the league. So that's nice. A lot of fancy points should be had. I mean, Chuba started the week. Bryce Young, Tyler Schuck started the week. Alave. We'll see if Tyson's snapshot. He's, you know, Kellymore said a healthy dose more of snaps. Stay healthy. The thing that is terrible about this trick. I like how you said healthy, too, because he wants to stick. Yeah. Yeah. Pause. Speak it into existence. The worst part about me making this trade with Mike is that there is no piece of me that is not wanting a, a monster game, but I love drama Tyson so much. I wanted to go out there and dominate. Be happy for the man. And be sad for myself. That's fine. Yeah. You could be happy for me and sad for you. We have a one year trial in our league of record where the bottom four teams, one year. The bottom, the bottom four teams have to face off in kind of a consolation bracket. Right. Guess who voted against it. Jason. I would have voted for it next year. Yeah. The tank of apocalypse here. But my, my point being is yesterday I was talking about some trades and like, you know, he wasn't willing to trade me a defense. Right. He wasn't willing to trade me a defense for Caleb Douglas. Who's like you're looking at future assets of value. He wasn't willing to trade me a defense. And his logic was I got to win those games at the end of the season. And then he ends up instead trading away Malik neighbors that would probably help him win those games at the end of the year. Trading away Jordan Tyson, who would probably help him win those games and get the first pick. I think he was lying to me as my point. I think it was a lie. Well, there's he's done enough for you. Andy. I mean, he wouldn't trade me a defense for a week. It was weird. Okay. Darren Waller. Are we jumping back in? It was such a good week. Yeah. Obviously 10 targets, eight for 90 and a touchdown played over half the snaps. This is a good matchup. I mean, this is the type of player where you're going. Okay. If you've got one of these guys that we don't know about fanning or or Waller. I would go. I would go Waller. Okay. I would. I am not. Nobody here is on team Higby. But you that's fine. That's why the pants are titanium. Yeah. No, I look. If you toss a dart, you might hit the target. I'm just I'm just not. I've been so disappointed. We've said Higby's name a lot for the last four or five weeks. Sure. And these facts have always been true in the last four or five weeks about. So that's the that's the fear. We said Waller's name enough that we just stopped saying it. And now we're are we back? Well, Waller. We were not talking up like Higby at all. I mean, Waller was Waller. We had to kind of ignore it completely and said, don't start him since week three. We talked about Higby for four straight weeks and I'm bummed out about it. Got Waller. Waller's 10 targets was crazy. But the previous three weeks to to to the matchups. Good. That's why it the Saints are not great against tight end. So I don't mind it. Yeah. I that's when like you're when your big boys, Teterola, Mcmillan and Jalen Coker aren't doing anything then Darren Waller can definitely step in. But I'm not going to bet against your two best offensive players. Yeah. I think in this game, you're basically just starting everybody. You know, it's the environment you just you want to be involved. Both quarterbacks estimate. I mean, the only question mark is do you throw Jordan Tyson into the lineup right away live? Yeah, I mean, I'm fine doing it. I he's probably dumb. But I'm going to do it anyways. Yeah. Sometimes being dumb is really fun. Buffalo. Seven and one. New York Jets two and seven games in New York. Buffalo minus eight and a half over under 50 and a half. We are do we are do for a big Josh Allen game. We had to play Minnesota. You know, that was That was hard. That was tough. Ministers are really really good defense. Yes But now you play the Jets 29 and a half point implied point two So yeah, is it a complicated start-sit situation for Baltimore or I mean for Buffalo Allen and cook our locks DJ Moore's a lock to me. You put them in your lineup. I agree Just missed the touchdown last week and then don't concade. It's just I mean he is man I don't know what to do. He's now limited again with an ankle injury because that's who he is as a human being That's what his body is always limited. Yeah Breeze Hall Braille and Alan Mike. What's the temperature check on that back? Are you playing like you had Braille and Alan? He was in every week's start. Yeah, I If you have to choose between the two I choose Breeze, but I Think they're both just gonna cannibalize. I think Breeze Hall. I mean he was almost my start of the week I think he's a very good play. He is their star player. They didn't trade him. They paid him Obviously, Braille and Alan will still be involved But you look at you know 19 opportunities last week for Breeze Hall 10 for Braille and Alan and it should go even more towards Breeze as he gets fully healthy and Do you want to the the craziest part the snaps the snaps? Yeah, Braille and Alan 37 snaps to Breeze is 27 routes 20 for Braille and Alan at 10 for Breeze like I Like I said, I'm I will put my chips on Breeze Hall But I don't feel confident either way the wide receiver thing with Omar Cooper and Anna Mitchell is pure comedy because These guys have done the inverse of each other at an I mentioned goost then scored 24 fantasy points Then goost on 89% of snaps Cooper was the wide receiver seven then goost on 78% of snaps Then came back to 11 targets the next week. Now. He's dealing with the ankle So if I had to pick one to gamble with like I said garrison star of the week And I mentioned be the one I throw in there, but you know if you want to be Garrett only I get it and I'm pretty sure And I did his he had a huge game with the with his finger cast thing I don't know if you guys have seen this where he's just permanently pointing at people But it's like that's I mean, that's not an optimal situation for a wide receiver. Yeah, I don't know if he still has it on or not I Lean Omar over at night just because of that Yeah, assuming assuming Omar gets back to full practices this week and looks like he's good to go with the ankle I would I would be on the Omar Cooper side. I think he's the more talented wide receiver Yeah, I need more on this because this injury updates crazy to me Demario Douglas at the podium today talking about Ramondra Stevenson dog said Stevenson is gonna try to play Try to play on Sunday this week That would change your Corey Kiner projection. It's certainly if he plays it's certainly would and that for fantasy purposes is just a That's a mega bummer because that's a situation then you're just like I want nothing to do with this I'm not playing remain maybe that maybe that's the best gift to us just to not it could play kinder. It's like Ramondra Lairson had his moment in the sun and it's gone Now I down Ramondra place At the fact he's gonna try I would lean at as well, but it's like it was being reported as a multi-week injury Yeah, and he's gonna go out there and take one snap ago. Oh, no. That was a bad idea potentially. Yeah, or or Get the magic juice and fine.
