The Biggest Fantasy Football Booms and Busts from Week 7 | Fantasy Focus

♪ Fantasy, you and the old six don't want no focus ♪ ♪ Fantasy, fantasy focus ♪ - Welcome into Fantasy Focus Football. - You are rude. - My name is Daniel Dopp. - I scream on my face like that and Monday morning. - I didn't realize that my starts of the week punishment was an audible sniffing soul. - Yeah, honestly what it was, I saw Mike turn his IFB down right before we started. So I wanted to come in a little hot. - We have some drama on start of the week. - We do. - That was intense tonight. - Oh my goodness. - I'm not a passenger in Javonte Williams. - Yeah, we'll talk about it. On today's show, we're gonna recap all the things that were week seven, a fun week of football, plus a quick Monday night football preview. Shout out to our friends over at Trophy Smack, though. Mike, if you ever gotten one of these, a belt, anything, like you know what a championship trophy looks like. - I actually have so many of them at my house. It is piling up, I don't know where to put them anymore. So you guys want some, I'll just. - If you want some, you know what you can do, you can go to trophysmack.com, use the promo code trophy. Week eight, you get 10% off your order over there. Go grab something fun for your league, guys. We got a lot of games to dive into. - Did you not get the memo? You're supposed to wear team apparel today? - Yes, that's Eagles Green. - That's not, okay, I'm color blind. - That isn't very much. - Eagles Green. - Salty's green right here. No, I did not get the memo. - Dang it. - But if anybody in our chat, we're not gonna reveal it yet, but if chat, and we'll see if any of our producers can get the right name, can guess what uniform, Daniel was wearing. It is a number 43 Detroit Lions uniform, Honolulu blue. It's not Cioni Vock. You know, he's already three now. - That's right, yeah. - It is not the player who currently wears 43. - Correct. - If there is someone, we'll see. - Best 43 in NFL history. Is there an obvious answer to that? - That might be. - Let's talk Santa. Anyways, yeah, so fantasy focused NASCAR, debuts next Friday, airs at 2 a.m. Eastern time. So the Mike has to stay up super late. - That'd be so fun. You just want to do the show from your iRig simulator. You know how dope that would be. - Absolutely. I did a daily wager. - What? - I called a segment from remote from that one time. - That's a series. - Back in the day. - And we make that happen so that you can just stop coming into our drama yesterday. - We did NASCAR season is almost over. - Yeah. - Yeah, I was thinking of it right now. - Diled in the race yesterday. - Yeah. - You know what I was dialed into. - Watching the Saints in the Steelers play is for my friends. - It was for my friends. - We did it. - It was a little bit. We were doing a TV show Sunday morning. And to be honest, we didn't miss a whole lot. It doesn't feel like Steelers and Saints. Aaron Rodgers, 212 passing yards. A decent passing touchdown to our guy at least. Not anyone in fantasy that we care about. - No. - But Darnell Washington, at least we love that at National Tide and State. Did we tell you yesterday it was National Tide and State? - We did. - I'm not going to say it anymore. That's the only time I'm going to say it today. Jalen Warren crushed 108 yards on the ground. Excuse me, 101 total yards on the ground. On the other side of this, honestly, Tyler Shuck was fine. Like from an NFL standpoint, 20, excuse me, 30 for 38, for 278 passing yards and a touchdown. Not bad. Often it's just not getting it done here. I love Chris Olave having 10 targets. Again, it's another week in which he has double digit targets. You love to be able to see that. But right now, Devon Veile feels like this was a great way to say goodbye to Devon Veile and what could be a closing of the chapter of his fantasy value. We going to bye this next week. And then Jordan Tyson potentially maybe returning. We'll look and see where that's at. - I have a little more optimism on Veile because he's going to play every snap. And he's just like a solid football player. Not amazing, but a solid football player. And there's crazy volume in this offense because they're so bad on defense. 38 passing attempts. Actually was a lot by Tyler Shuck's standards. Couple of other things for me. We can go to the Steelers just for a moment here is, this got my eye. How about Rico Dattel getting six catches on six targets yesterday? We know Aaron Rogers loves to throw the football short and he finds these safety valves. Maybe Rico is breathing some life into his fantasy values. He scored 14.6 fantasy points yesterday. And we saw a handful of snaps with both him and Jalen Warren on the field. So monitoring the value of Rico because it may get to the point where even with Jalen Warren playing well and he played awesome again yesterday. Rico might be in some of these deep by weeks. Have a chance to creep into that flex radar. Quite a day for the receivers perhaps a byproduct of what Rico did on offense. That's what I was just going to say. I'm hoping that this was no offense to Rico Dattel shares but I would rather have Jimmy Bernard and DK Metcalf get a little bit more volume in the passing game than have to go to Rico Dattel. So I kind of want to chalk this up to sometimes games or international games a little bit different. Maybe I caught my attention for sure. We'll see. So on the same side, you mentioned Valle and Chris Olave and coach John can be dropped by the way. John Johnson doesn't need to be rostered anymore. Especially with, as you mentioned, Jordan Tyson. We're hoping is back after the buy and Travis H and should be could be back as well. That'll be five weeks out, right? So if I four games plus the buy, there's a chance he's back to and that's going to change the dynamic of this offense for sure. Both of those players are eligible to play in week night. And let's just talk about this here for a second. And I sort of refer to this yesterday on the show. I just I think I'm tapping into the pulse of Saints fans when I say this is Tyson. I don't really have a grip on when he'll play. He's such a talented guy that it would be logical for the Saints to throw the football to him a lot. And they do throw the football a lot. And they throw the football a lot to the guys that matter to us. Chris Olave gets a zillion targets. Yeah, and look at by the way, quickly, just Omar Cooper. What do he's done? He's just going to say that as a first round pick and just heavily utilize two weeks in a row. He's very well could be sure similar. I got to be honest with you guys. I am petrified of what it could look like when Travis H. Amber turns. And this is the reason why this team is awful. They're the worst running team, not named the Green Bay Packers probably right now. We had 17 carriers for 18 yards yesterday. I think they're leading Russia was Tyler Schuck with like seven yards. All right, this team is awful. It's terrible. And they are poorly run. They have no discipline whatsoever. And keep in mind that when HN was healthy for the first two plus games of the season, they completely fumbled the backfield utilization. And I get it. We're talking about this to the lens of fantasy football. And people in NFL say, you fantasy nerds don't know what you're talking about. We know how to manage our backfield. That's fine. Okay. That's all well and good. Now is absolutely awful. You paid the guy $13 million a year of this off season. I promise you, promise you. The Travis HN that we know can run the football better than that awful dreadful performance that we saw yesterday from all the running backs. Alvin Camara, legend still deserves three to five targets a game. I'm good with that. But what do we do? These Kendra Miller carries. Don't need it. Really? Don't need it. So while it would be logical for us to say, hey, week nine, which is the next time they play, if he's healthy Travis HN comes back into a pretty prominent role. He should be right to terrible run offense. These are most talented runner. In most organizations, I'd probably say that's the case, but can we trust the Saints? The Saints? No. This team that is again, how would you classify them in terms of how well run they are? Great. Not great. Okay. Poorly. Very poorly. I think field is on the optimistic side, based on I think so too. I have a question though. I don't want, when they make some changes, do you want to GM job or head coach? I don't want either. I'm happy to know what I do. I'm just saying, like, I am venting my frustration for Saints fans. So I can see it. I can hear it. I can sense it from them. I can see it on social media. Yeah. These fans are tired of this crap. Is that like, there's actually a decent amount of talent on this roster yesterday was just another ho hum, typical Saints effort. Get behind, make undisciplined plays at the very end of the game, rather than the Steelers needed to make a field goal, which Chris Boswell probably would have made. I think he actually did make the Saints jump off sides. It ends the game. Yep. That kind of stuff just doesn't fly in the NFL. Just a very uninspired effort. So HN deserves the job when he is healthy to have, healthy enough to have the job. But I'm just telling you, unlike other players that have returned from injury where we said, like, they're back, crank them right back up, I've got tepid expectation on the plus side though, if you've, you're running backs of 14 carries for 13 yards, gives you some optimism. They're going to try something different. So at least we have that for those of us that have a chance on a roster. You'll hopefully fingers crossed and they're going to buy this week. So we got two more weeks until we're able to use him. Yeah. So hopefully we're in a good spot here. Let's move on and talk 49ers and Falcons had a scare. One of the first scares of the season of a very, very high level player, which is Christian McCaffrey who left this game for like half a quarter, like midway through the second quarter. It's a injury. He returned for the second half and turns out he's still awesome. 22 fantasy points for CMC as he had six catches for 61 yards. This could very easily have been 28.1 fantasy points. He was rolled down and literally like the one inch line yesterday, it was overturned upon review. CMC continues to be a huge part of this passing offense, which is essential and he is going to maintain his top five at worst, running back value weekend and week out. They have a buy this upcoming week. So that buy comes at a perfect time and you got to love the schedule coming up, Raiders and Cowboys in this two games off the by CMC, still locked in where he is. We wonder. All right. So no diva Samuel, no Mike Evans, no Ricky Pearson, no Dejean struggling, which wide receiver is going to matter way though. Yeah. None of them. Yeah. The answer is none of them. Jordan Watkins had the most action. Three catches for 56 yards. They did not complete a single pass to a wide receiver in the first half. Come on. None. Come on. The 49ers went four straight quarters without completing a pass to a wide receiver. The second half last week and the first half, yes, your night. So you don't have to worry about the nineers wide receivers until we have Mike Evans and Debo Samuel or Debo Samuel back, George Kiddell's unbelievable season continues eight for 88. He fumbled on the final play of the game for San Francisco, but he's a beast. Brock party, his worst game of the season by far. This felt like the classic trap game. I'm not really. too much into it. On the Falcon side guys, I don't have a ton to say other than, um, Greg London, I got the handsome. He did. He did. That was awesome. That could have two touchdowns. There is another one. That was also just missed them. And it's just missed them. So 10 targets for Drake London, seven for 66 and a touchdown. And Kyle Pitz guy. Big man Kyle Pitz gets in the end zone again. What is he up to now? Four four. He's touched down on three straight for passing expectations. Uh, I thought Michael Pentax played awesome again yesterday too, as well, by the way, Michael Pentax scored 20.4 fantasy points. Obviously going to need to throw for, you know, several passing touchdowns are multiple in a week to make it worthwhile as a starter. But he did that yesterday really, really happy for Michael Pentax and junior. Just think, uh, just in general, a guy who I think, gandily, the Falcons kind of discounted this off season. Yeah. It's signed to, uh, yeah, there was a lack of commitment to Michael Pentax junior. If it's not a, if it's not a parent who is the best quarterback on this roster by a mile, it should be now, it's Michael Pentax junior, uh, back to, I mean, I was a back to back, but yeah, back to back. It does for Beijon. And, and does is a tough term for a guy that has 17.2 fantasy points. But, uh, on a day in which Jamir Gibbs also scored around 17 fantasy points, feels like the gap narrowed even more between he and Beijon Robinson, only because, you know, Beijon could have reduced the gap that existed if Beijon had scored 25 yesterday. It's like, oh, yeah, over the next 18 over the course of 18 games, Beijon probably outscores Gibbs, seven times Gibbs outscores, Beijon, 10 times close enough to call it a coin flip. Yeah. Super Gibbs, 17 fantasy points. Beijon Robinson, 17.2 fantasy points. And it still feels like Gibbs widened the gap yesterday. Yeah, it's wild. 25 touches over what about 120 yards and down game. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Similar to Gibbs. Yeah. He didn't have great rushing efficiency and that no touchdowns for, uh, Beijon has them as RB 16 going into Monday night football. No doubt. Next one, we got his Bengals and Ravens down game for the Ravens, but not necessarily for as a flower. First half, first half and second half were two completely different games. Baltimore, I seem to have the Bengals offense and control, uh, and then things changed. And then things change when this one 35 to 13 huge games for the, uh, the Joe Barrow T Higgins do. Whoa. We are watching YouTube YouTube stream as a good one. Yeah. For today. It's a nonsense up there. Uh, Joe Barrow, 22 of 30, 292 yards four touchdowns. No picks. He's right. Hot T Higgins was the main guy in this one. Six four, a buck 48 and a touchdown. The way that was all the second half. Yeah. All the second half. All of it could not move the ball in the first half and then the second half. They just, uh, I think it was Jamar chase after the game was like, I lost it. Uh, in the locker room and half time. And then we got to go in the second half, uh, you to find game. Again, most of this was in the second half as well. Five for 62 and a touchdown himself on seven targets. That is kind of a quiet game for Jamar chase, but you still found the incident. It sounds like what he did. What he did didn't show up in his box score, but it showed up in everyone else's box score. Like that half time pump up conversation. I'm curious for you guys. How would you categorize Jamar chase's season so far? Uh, it's a little, it's below expectations. It's not, it's, it's, he's in a position where he could have backed it back big games and we're four back. Yeah, I totally, it's not like he's terrible. I think he's still what like probably wide receiver seven or eight. That's how I was going to buy though. Yeah, he was like, he's like the Mike Lee of so wide receivers. Yeah, a little, a little disappointing. A little disappointing. But still hanging in there. Yeah, it still shows up every day. That sounds right. So we do, though, don't we do. Let's see Jamar chase coming into this week. 16.2 fantasy points per game. 15th and scoring, but had a by week already. So yeah, I'm interesting. 16 points per game is nothing to shake a stick at. I don't know where that term still came. Well, I would love for somebody over 20 and just two of his six games. Yeah. So down a little bit. Yeah, that's a little bit. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. But we're redrafting receivers. He probably still goes top three. Yeah. JSN obviously first. He's not, he's not at that level. Yeah. Exactly right. So, uh, but he's fine. Again, five for 62 in the touchdown. You're not. It's not going to crush your season. Um, Micah, Sikki had enough of you. That's, that's another touchdown. Uh, him entry sample stole a touchdown on national tight end day. Sorry, Daniel had to mention it one more time, uh, Sikki now five touchdowns on 18 targets. He scored an all but one game exactly one touchdowns kind of annoying. Like, just stop it. Was there a running back that scored in this game? Because I've been waiting for chase brown to get in the end zone was, yeah. Uh, not chase brown 11 for 39 on the ground, five targets, 19 yards on those some, uh, JP Ryan steals another touchdown. Second game in a row. He'll probably he's going to be the cool line guy. So like, if they have, I think there was a DPI in the end zone on Micah, Sikki, and I think it's probably going to be some, uh, JP Ryan more often than not. Yeah. It's, uh, unfortunate, uh, chase brown now under 10 fantasy points and two straight and three of his last four, his last touchdown, by the way, week one. Yeah. It's been a minute. So, uh, we used to kind of hope if you have chase brown, that this is like last year. The first half was rough. The second half was fantastic. So that's what you're kind of banking on. But right now, uh, it is not going great. We're still going to start him though. He's getting enough work in a great offense. He got to keep him in your lineup. Did you guys happen to see the Drew sample touchdown? I did not. Okay. So the Drew sample touchdown was one of those plays where occasionally when you're watching on TV, you can't hear a ref's whistle or you can't see a flag thrown. So sometimes a play will start and the play will kind of develop and keep going and then a player who has the football will just stop. And you realize, oh, it was blown dead prior to the snap. Drew sample was moving at such a glacial pace. And there was nobody around him that I thought it was a play that had been blown dead because Raven's defenders were just, they heard the whistle. We didn't from the TV broadcast. They retreated and sample just kind of walked into the end zone to kind of feel something. Yeah. Now, the Ravens just had zero coverage of Drew sample. What's so ever yesterday? And he was like, why rush when I get he's not a fast guy, but why rush big block? It doesn't need to. They're just like, yeah, he's not going to catch the ball. Yeah, truly. And he did. So anyway, that's the Bengal side. Raven's side. Guys, this is what, you know, we I talked about Zayflowers a lot yesterday morning. We talked about him last week. And this is why sometimes we say the matchup stuff, but you still fire this guy up. He's a little top 10 play because he got the job done 11 targets. He catches a buck 37 and a touchdown. They did an exceptional job. If you watch this game, they just did not put him up against the Turner. He was on the perimeter a little bit. Turner ended up on him. Just 24% of the time normally be about in the 50% range. They match up 10 times. He had one catch for six yards on one target, but he was beating safeties and linebackers and just crushing it. So an exceptional job. I'm obviously they got crushed in this game. So we don't want to go too far, but they did get to do a good job getting flowers at the ball in this one. 43% of his points yesterday came on one screen pass from the slot for touchdown. Yeah. But he still catches. I mean, they were, I'm just saying it was bubble screens and short slants. And none of it was like a, none of it. One catch was against Turner. I was trying to, I was trying to sort of make the case about why you weren't wrong in your process, which was like, if DJ Turner was going to play opposite them, every single's not a different. It probably looks different. Yes. But they just did a good job of avoiding DJ. Yeah. No doubt. That's the first time, though, a receiver scored more than 15 fantasy points against the Bengals this season. So they've been really good offensively. That shows you how well Zayf Flowers is playing this year, regardless of who is under center. By the way, no one else on the team over 35 receiving arts. Yes, Daniel. I just want to say, like he's not going to get the credit for this. We've said it a couple times. Zayf Flowers isn't like a breakout candidate. But I think he's taking one of like the biggest steps forward in fantasy football this year, even though he already, we'd seen it. Yeah. He looks so good. I think he made the big leap last year and maybe even getting to the next one this year. He's just more senior like this year. Yeah. Go now. So yeah, no one else over 35 yards. Mark Andrews and Derek Henry both done in this game. Hurry back, Lamar Jackson. That should help both of these guys a little bit. Mark Andrews now three for three and seven point two fantasy points per game this season. He's been under six fantasy points at three straight and four of his last five. So it's been a rough go. Derek Henry, but definitely dropable. I think that Lamar coming back maybe targets him more, the offensive score more, more goal line opportunity. So maybe hangs on to that top 15 conversation, but a streamer at best Henry under six fantasy points and two straight guys for the first time since weeks 10 and 11 of 2023. Wow. When he's with the Titans. So it's been a long time since he had this little mini slump, but again, Lamar was so close to returning this week. If he's back next week, we feel better about his prospects. I'll follow next week early indications. And I know that this is not what Ravens fans want. They want final. That's right. Early indications are that Lamar will play next. Yes. Are there Smith games or those are there Smith games for Derek Henry? Uh, were they that's about those years. I don't know. I love to look into it. He doesn't do that. I was the Falcons at that point. He had already left that sounds right. All right. Let's talk bucks and panthers guys do it. Box and panthers. Did you guys know that the Carolina panthers just literally gave up in their buy week? Yeah. Yeah. I came in. I said coming into this week, we were really practicing the attitude of gratitude around the panthers because we have seen some unbelievable fantasy performances from all of their guys. Instead, it was a bad attitude of flatitude in this one. Not great. Bryce Young just happened. No idea, but it was funny. First game with multiple interceptions. First game with only single digit fantasy points, five point three fantasy points, Chuba Hubbard was RB seven and fantasy points coming into this game. He was the highest scoring guy of the week for them, scoring just 10 fantasy points and both Ted Roa McMillan and Jalen cocker were terrible. Ted had four for 40 on six targets. Six targets was a team high. They lost by 30. How do you have six targets as a team high when you're losing by 30 guys? The entire game, you're down. The whole game script is just throw the ball to the two guys that we've been talking about in Jalen cocker and Ted Roa McMillan. The panthers literally just gave up with like nine minutes left in the fourth. They benched. everyone. I thought it was the right thing to do. I agree with you other than not showing up in the first place. Yeah, I'm saying in the right at that time, but I was in the war room. Yes, I was like, guys, the panthers are down 36. If they don't, I agree, boulder starters right now can't be down 36. Oh, you can't be correct. Well, the panthers would like you want to see a strike. Yeah, it was bad. Gross. It was just, it's a throwaway game for the Carolina panthers on the other side. Baker Mayfield came back with from the thumb injury through the ball 11 times didn't need to throw the ball. What a assist the defense gave him. Oh my gosh. So I come back from the injury. He was still wearing the glove and like they didn't want to put much pressure on him. And sure enough, they just the defense says the box defense, a touchdown, two interceptions, two fumble recoveries, five sacks, a block kick, 13 points allowed, 28 fantasy points. High scoring player in the entire game was the Bux defense. Bucky was also awesome. Yeah. Bucky was sick and he is continuing to do the Bucky Irving thing. He is clearly the guy back there. So honestly, this game we're throwing it away for the panthers and for the Bux with, you know, a limited Baker Mayfield kind of played out sort of how we thought kind of throwing it away to 11 past attempts. Exactly. We talked a lot about Ted Hearst as like a DFS hunt sadness. What do you do? And they throw it the ball 11 times. It's, it's going to happen. It's the one that gets in the end zone too. My long shot versus Adam Schefter yesterday was my Konata Mumfield versus him. His Ted Hearst. And Konata Mumfield's 15 receiving yards was enough to get over the hump. He had 2.5. Hearst out zero. I love that. Game script wise. I was this should have been a competitive game for Tampa Bay. You just can't predict this kind of thing. Yeah. Be up 30 point. I mean, they just didn't have to throw it. By the way, the Bux is awful as this start has been. They're right in the mix in the NFC's out. I'm saying is that Caroline. One win back. They could be, they could be there. One. It matters. It's crazy. This division. You shouldn't be able to be two and five and be right in the mix of a division. But two and five is like, you know, like you're so far removed from the conversation in NFC North or the AFC, sorry, the NFC West or the AFC North here. It's like, it's wide open. Yeah. Shoes and two. They're two and five as well and right in the thick of it for a playoff spot. I guess Jacksonville, I'd lose into the giant turds. But I mean, they're still hanging. They're still in there. It's just a natural, the easiest way into the giant. Texans have, I might have been the easiest schedule for the rest of the season. So maybe there's a chance I got to play better than they did yesterday. Sure to. Let's go to that game. The Giants win this one in over time. Big win for the GM. I thought this would be the moments in which this clock kind of struck midnight. They win 27, 21, a few things here for the for the Giants. The most important thing I think I'll save for the end. Isaiah likely finally just had his his first dud of the season two catches for 12 yards. He was playing through something during this game. Didn't leave the game. Don't feel like Isaiah likely is anything other than a top four tight end though. Just based off how shallow the position is, how talented he is. The Giants go on to their buy this upcoming week before they play at Philadelphia. Malik neighbors four straight games with over 100 receiving yards. Yeah. What a talent. I mean, earlier I was talking about whether that conversation of top three wide receivers needs to include. I'm on Ross St Brown. It might need to include Malik neighbors. If he's going to continue to play like he is right now, just a sensational comeback for him. Seven catches on nine targets for 111 yards. No, no, it doesn't matter who the quarterback is. They're on QB three and they're all throwing it to him. So that's great. They're running backs for the most interesting thing that happened yesterday. Yeah. So out of the gates yesterday, it was Cam Skataboo and Tyrone Tracy. Tracy has a touchdown. Cam Skataboo gets the first few carries. And it looks like it's going to be basically, you know, Batman and Robin or whatever co stars in the backfield, co starters in the backfield. Tracy gets banged up. He has a hamstring injury. He leaves the game and does not return. Cam Skataboo goes on to rush for 124 yards on 17 carries, which included a 42 yard rumble in overtime, where at the end of the game, he looked like it looked at first. It was like, did he just go down because he wants to set the giants up for a field goal and not risk like fumbling the ball or something? No, he said after the game, he told you and Graziano felt a little something in his hamstring, towards this morning from Mike Garafolo already suggest nothing major. They have their buy this upcoming week. Okay. Here's the question on this. This is the million dollar question pertaining to the giants going forward because Devon Singletary also scored a touchdown. He had the scamper and over time to win four different giants that are rushing touchdown, including James Winston, baby. By the way, the best part about James Winston going in there for these quarterbacks. It's annoying for fantasy is that you guys hear the plat, the cadence. No, he just goes in there. He goes, yeah, ready, set. Hut one, hut two. It just like they throw it, you know, these quarterbacks going, you know, red 19 red 90. No, no, no. Game is just doing this old school like, you know, back when they ran the wing T type cadence. So here's a million dollar question going forward is, who was the best runner on the field yesterday? The best runner on the field for the, I mean across the board, yeah, by far, right? Like this was 2025 camscataboo. Yes, right. He had a sick touchdown run, a 14 yard, broke a tackle. He had to play early in the game where he absolutely destroyed a Texan's defender was actually called for that leading with the crown of the helmet. That one, I disagree with. I don't agree. I would agree with your disagree. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So the question is, does this open the door to camscataboo working going forward like he was in the first four games of the season? Uh, yes. However, he wasn't that good in fantasy in those games. That's a little bit of the concern. I still worry about Tracy being heavily involved and honestly, Devon Singletary mixing in an obvious passing situation, but he did yesterday. So I think there's a limit on what he's going to do, but is it enough to get him into the top 20 conversation, the fleck and to be a viable flex, which a week ago to look like he'd be that at all, then yes, I do think he's back in that. This has been like the stock market right now with with camscataboo's value. And also he could fumble again too. And then what happens? Yeah. I think that ship's probably sealed. What's that of just like your bench like going forward? I don't know. I just maybe I don't know. He's such an energy player, man. He means so much to sort of like the, the, the, the temperature of that team that I think that camscataboo probably has played his way back into, you know, low end RB two flex territory. Counterpoint counterpoint. He's played his way so much back in as the leader of this team that they had to give Tyrone Tracy the first touchdown of the game. And then the second touchdown of the game, they had to give actually to a different person that was. So it's like, I, I, I hear you. He played six maps last weekend. He got zero opportunity. You're right. Like if you have camscataboo, you're asking yourself this past week. Like am I dropping him? Oh, now you're like, okay, okay, I can play him, which I think you could plausibly play camscataboo now. Yeah. We have that one eliminator league where we are knock out league. Excuse me, where we have four bench spots. And I was deciding, do I add Omerian Hampton for camscataboo last week. It's like, man, where are we here? We're already right now. We're clearly in week seven. Fantasy football. Yeah, I think a nutshell. On the side of this game here for the Texans, what a disappointing loss for them. If David Montgomery is out again coming out of their buy next weekend, what he marks is going to play so much 89% of the snaps yesterday for marks. Didn't turn it in too much though. Once again, 9.1 fantasy points for marks. They were bad across the board. CJ shroud 16.5 fantasy points, only 153 passing yards, largely because Nico Collins had two catches for six yards. Not great. Seem like the the feeling after the fact was that it was Deonte Banks, who gets a lot of credit for slowing down Nico Collins. Guys had an up and down career in New York himself played his best game maybe ever yesterday. Marvin Harris in junior finds the end zone. He had one catch though for six yards. Still think coming out of the buy. It's Nico Collins and everybody else is just kind of like on the periphery of fantasy football conversations. Let's hope that David Montgomery is back coming out of the buy. They put the chargers in Los Angeles, a winnable game. But for now, what he marks, Nico Collins, possibly CJ Shradd is a streamer. Colour me surprised that we're at a spot where allie Gordon is a better running back right now, even though what he marks is a full time running back in this Texans office. Gordon is due right now. Jalen right got hurt yesterday. So Gordon, yeah, I know, just I'm surprised. Yeah. Allie Gordon's really useful. Yeah. I was saying last week, there haven't been many good waiver wire ads. I might have to rest in that. I am restening that statement on all the Gordon's been. Yeah, it bothers me because I'm like, what could divine HM be doing in this area in this situation? I mean, is that offense has been better? I'm not shocked by what happened yesterday. I've been talking about this. I talked about this leading into through their my week. Like their schedule has been brutal to start to see the start to season. And now it's much easier going forward. That was their first like easier game and the Jets defense has been kind of up and down, but better. Yep. That was their first like kind of lighter game and they did well. They, you know, Malik Walls looked much better. They have the good young school group, Allie Gordon looked well. So each end could be having a terrific season if he was healthy. Speaking of offense is being better. Do you guys feel like the Vikings are just like, okay, Tyler Murray on. We know what time it is. Okay. To our softens is in the end. Let's do it. They're up there. Yeah. Ugly. Let's start with the Minnesota side. They went 16 10. I want to start with the injury news right off the bat here. Aaron Jones limited to 15 snaps. Eight carries went already left injured. We're going to keep an eye on this one. Not a big injury week so far. Fortunately, that or hopefully that'll continue. But this is one of the more notable ones because we miss this time. That could be big things for Jordan Mason who had 15 carries for 68 yards. Yep. Two targets. No catches. This is the thing with Jordan Mason. It's why he can't get to the next level. As a fantasy football option. I'll get you the carries. I'll get you the rushing efficiency. I'll get you an occasional rushing touchdown, but he might get you one target. And that might be a good day at the office for Jordan Mason. Of course, his value. you will depend on Aaron Jones. We'll keep an eye on that. Guys, the passing game for Minnesota, again, just horrendous. Kyler was 14 of 24 for 150 yards and a touchdown at 39 rushing yards. He's now averaging 13 and a half fantasy points per game in his four full games this season. I know you said this a while ago, and it stands to this day. Kyler, not even close to a fantasy option right now, very disappointing. By the way, no Vikings player cleared 44 receiving yards in this game. So gross. Very much like last year, the skill guys are suffering. Justin Jefferson has now played two full games with Kyler Murray, seven for 68 and a touchdown. That was okay last week. This week, four for 44 had exactly seven targets in both. It's not enough for a guy we went to deliver as a top five, ideally fantasy receiver hasn't been good enough. TJ Hawkinson has lost two full games with Kyler Murray, 13 for 119 and four for 35 and a touchdown. Kyler loved his tight ends in Arizona. It's loving him in Minnesota as well. And TJ Hawkinson has suddenly found himself right back in the tight end one conversation. He's the only one we feel really good about at this particular moment. Jordan Addison, dud, again, this guy is borderline dropable. I mean, he's had one double digit fantasy game. It was the week that Justin Jefferson was out. And as long as Justin Jefferson's there, Addison is no more than an insurance wide receiver at this point. So that's a Vikings offense. And I'll be quicker on the Colts offense, because it's even worse. By the way, the Daniel Jones zero touchdowns that we talked about on FSC yesterday morning, plus 180 pays out. You know, his four passing touchdowns and seven games are still as four passing touchdowns and seven games. One passing touchdown in his last four games. That's unheard of in the NFL. So he has one in his four games. Four is about a quarter of the season. Yeah. A quarter of his salary is $11 million for this year. Wow. So he's getting about $11 million for passing touchdowns. We're thinking about this in six and seven games. He has four passing touchdowns. So double that. That's he's on pace for about 10 passing touchdowns this season. That's nice for turn. That's awesome. In this, the modern era, that's like historically bad. I mean, you can't do much worse than that. No cold, cleared 31 receiving yards. Jonathan Taylor came through in a tough matchup. Again, this is why we were still ranked him around 10. We did downgrade him appropriately, but he had 110 yards in a touchdown on 20 touches. So I'll finish rating that range where he had him ranked. That's it. I mean, I know it was a brutal matchup against Minnesota. If I'll appear system back, which it seems like he's a few weeks away. We're looking at keen analysis of flex. We're looking at Tyler Warren. If he's healthy is a still a tight end one, obviously tailors and lineups, but that's it. We just can't trust for anyone else. This is a brutal, brutal situation for the Colts offense. Even when you're looking at him as a flex, it's like a plug your nose, close your eyes, hit the button, put him in the flex spot. Can we put on the pole? A question about the Minnesota Vikings. Yes, not really fantasy, really. That's all right. What will the Vikings record be after their next four games? There's six in all right now, six in all. The options would be 10 and 0, 9 and 1, 8 and 2, 7 and 3, 6 and 4. I don't know if we can do five pole options, but if we can, that'd be great. Here are the next four games for the Vikings. At the lines, home to the bills, at the Packers, bills, by the way, is Monday night football, at the Packers and then at San Francisco, but the game is being played in Mexico City. That's a Sunday night game. Interesting. I think they go one and three. It's one and three. It's conservative guests going seven and three as well. Okay. Yeah, I just, because they're six and 0, they go from six and 0 to seven. This seems the only undefeated team yet. They have to continue to play at this level defensively. And by the way, Brian's wall is the ball. I would imagine. MVP. Well, he is the MVP of their team of the league. If he's not the most handsomely paid defensive quarter in the NFL, he should be by a lot for a couple of reasons. Not just because of the defense. Yes. Because if this team wasn't winning, everybody and their mother would be saying, Justin Jefferson needs to be traded. This is what we do when when StarWide receivers aren't like Jonathan Taylor on the other side, that might smile on me last night and said that Jonathan Jefferson needed to be traded. That's nice. How's she doing, by the way? Not too bad. Yeah, we had a long talk. Yeah. Good. So he and I'm not suggesting that Justin is trying to get out of Minnesota by any stretch, but this is what we do when Star receivers are criminally underutilized, we say get him somewhere that would actually tap into that player. Yeah. Your laugh again, we still. No, no, no, I was just, that was just looking back to the conversation them. That's mom and I. We had a lot of good ones. Anyways, hey, by the way, if you guys seen, you can see everything yet. Oh my gosh. Go watch it. I had so much fun watching it. I want to talk to everyone about it. You can see basically everything in the Browns and Titans game guys. A lot more than I expected, especially if you're a fan of running backs, Quinshaw and Judkins, this was the tale of two running backs. Quinshaw and Judkins 17 carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns plus a catch for eight yards, 23.4 fantasy points. Whew. Dude has been getting volume. At least 17 touches in every single game this season since week two. He has been awesome and will continue to be the RB one of that squad. Casey Concepcion actually took over. He didn't just get the volume, which he had been getting. He actually turned it into production this time. Eight for 129 plus three carries for 23 yards, 23.2 fantasy points. Ben's a Boston didn't really do a whole lot, but he did have eight targets. You love to be able to see that kind of volume as well. On the other side, it really is Tony Pollard and that was it. 25 for 129 on the ground and three tuddies plus three catches for 26 yards, 36.5 fantasy points. This was unbelievable. If you started Tony Pollard, which someone did against the miz in our fantasy focus countdown, League. Yeah, they did. I didn't start him. The miz played Joe. Joe, that's right. Go forward. But he was miz, by the way, took that on the chin very well on socially yesterday. Yes, he talked some smack and then and then Pollard came right out. The projections were right and he took an L, but his team's all sacked. So I'm not saying anything. And he collaborated with you on Instagram. He did. Yeah, he did. Well, hey, he was, I've been given him his flowers as we all have because his team is ridiculous. So I guess he gave him back a little bit just for one week only because he's going to keep winning. How does that work? Do you initiate or see? No, he did. He did. He did that. Dude, you got a Instagram collab request from Mike the miz 22 time. I mean, I don't miss solid. I invited him to the league on live TV. Sure. Anyone knowing it was coming. And he joined and drafted like the best team that you could possibly draft this year. So, yeah, he's crushing it. Yeah, you got an Instagram collab request from Mike the miz. Whoa, did he two time champion? Yeah, the first ever two time grand slam champion. Yeah, I know, he's the man. It's a high praise. Yeah, it's just like I get an Instagram collab request from my wife and I'm like, oh, yes, I did it. I achieved something. Yeah, right. If you all included nice about that. He's awesome. Look, what are you going to say? The guy, the guy is a great fantasy player. He crushes draft. I will try to get you to be less. The whole point was for us to be able to trash talk all year, but it's so unsighted now because his team is insane. So yeah, wow, man, well, well done, by what it's worth, but he's going to lose this week. He is going to. He might not win this week. I wish I played him this week rather than last week. One last thing on the Titans. Obviously, this was a huge Tony Pollard game. We don't expect this every week, but you're going to be thrilled that you got it if you played him. We talked about this last week. I spent the whole last week talking about Tony Pollard suddenly. So cheap and DFS and the ball, the fantasy points are matching the volume, much like Casey conceptions, same thing. Like it's coming. The big game's coming and I was a week early and sure. And although I did use him in DFS and that was super helpful this week, but still, man, it was, he was doing for this last thing for the Titans. Carnell tight. Carnell Tate, excuse me, five for 69 on seven targets, only 9.9 fantasy points. You fumbled without that fumble. He would have had at least 11 and a half points in four of his last five games. I realized that doesn't feel that number feels a little bit lower, but he's clearly still getting volume and you can see the skill set in pockets when he does get the ball in his dynasty. Hold. Yes. He's one of the guys where we drafted him. He's about doing that. It's about, there's not a lot of guys that just fit that bill. It's not as him and great, but it hasn't been a bust or it by any means. He's just kind of, there's room for him to take off still second half. Say you're lined up every week. If you have him, he's in there as the wide receipt for three generally and you're just like, that's fine. You know, he's going to have good games and it's been don't pretty well. When the bills play the Ravens this weekend, we'll be talking about the Titanic quarterback matchup of Josh Allen Lamar Jackson. I mean, he plays. Yes. We got a preview of it yesterday when we do Smith and Malik Willis. Yeah. When tow to tow, how about this? Two ballers. The dolphins get their first win of the season and Malik Willis scores 26 fantasy points. Geno Smith scored 23 and a half. I believe their quarterbacks three and four for the week. Right now, Joe Burrow one, Drake may two and then these two guys not too far behind. Well, so my dynasty team, let's go. If I tried to trade them both to me yesterday, I did. I was trying to quote unquote upgrade. So much for that. Malik Willis ends up with a rushing touchdown and that was why he ended up with the 26 fantasy points. He's such a good scrambler that like Malik Willis, I think he's going to have a few of these boom games throughout the course of the season, but both he and Geno are averaging under 14 fantasy points coming into the week. Ollie Gordon, we talked about him earlier. It's just been rock. Damn solid. 17.3 fantasy points. Yeah, yet again, he is a big part of these kind of the only part of this dolphins offense that you can trust weekend and week out. That's why the Patriots next week. Not a great matchup. Sorry. You're right. I was going to say Greg Dolchitz, but you were not trusting Greg Dolchitz. Yeah, we had five catches for 86 yards. Cool to see that yesterday from Greg Dolchitz and Caleb Douglas had 21 fantasy points as I believe it was two catches for 70 yards and was it two touchdowns for Caleb Douglas? Yes. Two touchdowns. Two for 70 with two touchdowns. What are you going to do here? I don't think that any dolphins skill player besides it's Ollie Gordon is an auto start. Malik Willis. Hopefully the dolphins build some confidence. Maybe an interesting stash as we get into the teeth of bi weeks coming around the court. And this is why sometimes strength to schedule can be useful. I mentioned this before and I'll give you a quick update. Dolphins go from base on EPA, the, uh, just defensive EPA. So they've had the second hardest schedule for their offense. So far, six easiest going forward. Jumps from third hardest for quarterbacks to seventh easiest, running back four easiest wide receiver six easiest tight end 10th easiest rest of season. So suddenly Dolphins going from yeah, they've been really struggling. But the schedule has been horrific for them. Yeah. In the first half of the season, it really lightens up going forward. So there could be some value there. Just keep an eye on some of these guys. Maybe not next week against the Patriots, but the lions, the cults coming around the corner for them after that. Braille and Alan is kind of like Ollie Gordon, right? Like just two big, powerful backs who've gotten the job done. Alan has more value as a receiver. He had seven targets yesterday. So 19.4 fantasy points for Braille and Alan. You said earlier, like we need to thank Devon Valle. Yes. For what he did. May, I am not, I think there's a chance that's the case. I'm not totally convinced we should definitely thank Braille and Alan because it sounds like breeze hall is going to play next week. I think there's a real chance that breeze hall's value dips just because Alan's been too good to get off the field. Yeah. He won't play nearly as much and breeze hall should be a lead back. But if he told me this was 6040 going forward, wouldn't be surprised at all. I think best case for Alan is probably like Kyron Corm sort of that up because breeze hall terrific pass catcher too. So he'll be he'll be the leader in that area. But I could totally see him it be in the 60 40 and carries or even a little closer. Yeah. And so a more of a dip for breeze hall than like advocating for Braille and Alan, starting going forward. We got to have a conversation though. We can talk about Omar Cooper and how he looked good again yesterday. Five for 115 in the touchdown back to back big games for him. He had that touchdown against the Patriots as well. What's our panic meter on Garrett Wilson guys? Back to back. Duds. He's had some good games. I'm just worried that Omar Cooper is the real deal. And it's just going to cost him cost Garrett Wilson targets. And when they're not scoring this many points, it's going to be even more crushing. So again, usually look, if you told me Geno Smith was going to be 23 of 30, 27 yards, three touchdowns. Most weeks and be a high powered offense. I'd be like, Garrett will be fine. Right? Yeah. Game here. He'll be fine. They're not generally going to be at this level. So that is my concern with Garrett Wilson. If they're going to be spreading the targets around. However, so then he's one of the best top 10 wide receiver talent in the NFL. So they're going to find ways to get him the ball. It's a words with Geno Smith on the sideline. He said they were just strategizing. He wasn't even talking to Geno whatever it was. But the guys too good to fail, I essentially feel like. So as long as they're somewhat confident, I think he'll be better. And remember, it's not like he's been terrible all season. He was what in the top 10 at receiver fantasy points until two weeks ago. So I am till last week. I'm a little more nervous. I mean, I was more in on Garrett Wilson with you. But I'm a little nervous just because we they drafted both of these guys in the first round. Did they not can you see? And he hasn't really been a factor, but yeah, he's a huge game against my Detroit lines. Thank you for watching that one. Yeah, I guess the Detroit lines being the key phrase. That's his only good game. He's been a non factor Mason Taylor to touchdown yesterday, but they clearly they did have two touchdowns. It would have been a great shot for our Raheem Sanders pick, by the way. But I just the idea that they have both of those guys as first rounders that they've shown that they want to every once in a while try to get the ball in their hands. It does feel like it's going to have to come at the expense of Garrett Wilson a little bit in the past. Yeah, I think you, I mean, so wide receiver 14 looking now. His finishes are 23 14 3 and seven. So he's had four really good games, but it's more recently 69 42nd 51. So he's so back it back. No, it's just not great. No, absolutely gone down. Yeah, I will say this. He was like a what a fifth round pick in drafts this year. I mean, it's not like he was super expensive. I was certainly optimistic. So I think he's he's outplayed as ADP so far. He's trending away from that, but there's one good game in your back in the in the good. I think where we've landed is that in a 10 team league, he has not reached the point where you're benching. I'm not benching there was one more bad game and you'd have a pretty interesting conversation depending on real. The last four under nine fantasy points does make me start to think, all right, where are we at moving forward? So we'll keep watching that. Daniel, I, Mike, I watched this game yesterday. I don't know who it was, but some guy I'd quarterback for the Broncos look good. Oh my gosh. Yeah, sort of. He's still the passing efficiency wasn't very good. He completed 52% of his passes, but Bonyx does get to 220 yards at one touchdown. The key was the long touchdown run for Bonyx. He entered this game with 37 rushing yards. He had a 62 yard touchdown run where Arizona just wasn't really paying attention and left him run. I mean, he, I think he passed basically the entire defense on his way. I mean, they were around him. They just weren't. They didn't tackle them. Don't they call it maybe not? They called the Red Seas out there in Arizona. That's a great question, but they parted. Harding. Yes. Yeah. Absolutely. I've never seen when they showed that highlight. It was like he started to run by himself and normally you start to see defenders come from off screen. There was never a defender that came from off screen. He just ran completely by himself all the way down field. It's like he must not have the ball. We're going to go over there. Yeah, I don't it was odd. It's hard to, it's hard to imagine or it's hard. It's rare to see a quarterback. I have a 62 yard touchdown run. Like it's just very, it's especially when there's so many defenders downfield. Anyway, he when ends up seven for 74 and a touchdown kind of bailed he out because, again, you weren't getting much through the air. And that applies to the past catchers as well. No receiver reached 55 receiving yards. A lone touchdown catch was RJ Harvey. Jalen Waddle did really get going again. He left in the fourth quarter with an injury. That's probably the most notable injury. If not Aaron Jones of the week. We're going to monitor that one. Shoulder injury at four for 48 on seven targets. Coral and sat and also paid off our prop that from yesterday under three and a half catches yet three for 45 on just five targets. He's not startable. Obviously, however, if Jalen Waddle is out, the schedule does lighten up for Denver, moving forward. Maybe Sutton gets back into that flex conversation. The bigger conversation. Wait a minute. What can we, do you, if Jalen Waddle is out, do you feel like, okay, the one thing that's been holding this receiving game back from a fantasy perspective is there's just too many mouths. Now all the sudden, Cortland Sutton, because we have one less target to be. Do you think all the sudden you feel better about it? If Waddle is out, we revert back to the last couple of years where Sutton was the guy. And that's a, say what you want about what Jalen Waddle is done. That's a quarter of the targets that frees up. So I do think there will be enough force fed to Sutton to get back into the flex conversation. Not like a wide receiver too, because they're not playing well enough. But with an easier schedule and perhaps a quarter of the targets himself, he certainly could be a starter, startable and fantasy. Startable. I like saying a lot during by weeks. No, by weeks, but on the flex radar for all the things that we're talking about. Look at, I'm, I was just curious. We'll look at rankings when they come out this week. Guys, a question. Yeah. We've a new lead back in Denver. We do. I mean, based off snap percentage yesterday. Absolutely. Jonah Coleman, not like he's just been ascending. He's been on IR. He comes back and plays 50% of this. He played 50% of the snap 28 snaps to 14 for our J. Harvey with a better fantasy day because of the long touchdown catch. But only 14 snaps for him and just 12 for JK Dobbins. Coleman ran well nine for 54 and also caught both of his targets for 15 yards. Now, the main issue I have here is that they're going to use three running backs. They've been using three running backs. That's not going to change. It's really going to limit the ceiling of all of these guys. I don't know that I feel great starting any of them right now. 14 snaps for our J. Harvey. Say what you want about what he's doing in the passing. It's just hard to be a consistent fantasy option. That's an area now. 14 snaps. 14 snaps. I'm out. Yeah, exact. If you knew that a running back was going to play 14 snaps in a game, you're like, no, he already has been a nonfactors or rusher. You're just banking on receiving. And by the way, you had the long touchdown catch. He had two targets in the whole game. Come on. So it's just hard to try. Coleman should be on rosters. Harvey should be on rosters. Dobbins, end of benches at best at this point. I don't think he's coming back up unless someone's injured, right? He's going the wrong direction right now. They like Coleman and he's going to play. But I just don't think he's startable at this particular moment. Cardinal side guys, 48 pass attempts for Jacobi per set. Always good. We like to have evolved. But Trey McBride is the only one that benefited 10 calls for 11 yards and to touchdown on 13 targets. No one else at 10 fantasy points in this game for Arizona. Michael Wilson. Let's talk about his three games. See that bottom stat? What was it? And you threw that back up back up on the stream. McBride had 10 catches for the 10th time in his career. Cardinals are whole in 10 in his 10. That checks out because they're trailing and they have to load him up with volume. We love the fantasy for yeah. Trey McBride. But we don't love though as the Marvin Harrison junior trade because it is just emptied out any fantasy value for Michael Wilson. It's been brutal for for 30 on seven targets for for 30 to end seven targets. And yesterday for for 55 on a targets that connection is just not there. The running backs with Jeremiah love out where I'm not even going to read the stats because they were useless useless as well. I might read them because we have to talk about this. All right, 15 carries 67 yards. No touchdowns for who? Six total six catches 45 yards on eight targets. I mean, neither one of them stood out. So they just but that's the point. Yeah. What is this team doing? That's where I was going to break question. Okay. Okay. I had a lot of rants recently. Well, I mean, I should you're just to be clear. You're saying what were they doing initially? Like before, right? What Jeremiah love? All of it. I mean, right now someone have germ. I love. Okay. So explain to me this. Two years 13 million dollars is not nothing in the NFL seven and a half million year six and a half million dollars. You want to lean more on Tyler Lger? No, I'm asking what they were doing. Why are you paying him two years and 13 million dollars when you can get BAM night off the scrap people who's been around like BAM, you knew BAM. So if there's a world in which Tyler Lger is signed, And Jeremiah love is not is the vision. Yeah, we'll play like 50% of this nap. We'll use BAM nights. Okay, so we first to pay Tyler out year enough money to make it seem like you should be the starting money. Yes. And then we'll use a third pick very valuable pick in a draft. By the way, if you guys see Narval Reese play recently, I have Arval Reese got like pretty good tackles flying around the field. Pace for a hundred and you guys tackles. Yeah, it seems pretty good, you know, offensive line. That would help, right? And we use it on Jeremiah love. Who's awesome. He was a number two player. My big brother. I love me some Jeremiah love, but why would you use the number three overall pick on a running back and then also pay a backup running back six and a half million dollars a year. And then by the way, when the number three overall pick isn't available, you were rather than use that guy that was yes, the 53rd player on your roster more than the guy you paid six and a half million dollars a year. Yeah, they said before even before the game will floor said, oh, I'll cheer is a committee back. He's not going to be a future back. Why not put that money somewhere else in your roster. We're all having so many, not even the money, the assets, too. Yeah, I know. I agree. Look, I'm just once again, hoping that a healthy Jeremiah love becomes a guy. They feature in the second half of the season like you would anyone else you drafting with that's like Robin center Gibbs or anyone like that. So do you feel I'm hoping this is this last game out for love? Do you feel because I think you and I are similar in this regard. Does the Jeremiah love thing give you a little bit of what I was talking about with Travis H and with the Saints? Yes, absolutely should. What's I mean, do you trust they're going to know everything that you've seen so far in the way that they've handled it and also I don't I don't feel like the I agree with that. Oh, wow. I'm definitely nervous about it. I'm hope you're so pragmatic that I thought you'd be like, well, you know, I'm hopeful that lean heavily on him, but I'm not super confident in it. Mike has guard rails that he stays within emotionally. But yeah, but when it's Jeremiah love, yes, all right. Next game here guys, let's talk about Packers and Lions. I thought a lot of points were going to be scored in this one. To be honest, a lot of points were left on the field. We had a couple of missed field goals. We had a couple of fumbles. A couple of things happened right inside the 20 yard line for both squads. Lions win 20 to 17 thanks to a field goal at the very end of the game by our guy, Jake Bates. Let's talk about the Detroit Lions, Jared Goff, 303 passing yards and a touch, excuse me, two passing touchdowns. Jameer Gibbs was awesome. Again, 29 carries 116 rushing yards. Why did they have a rushing touchdown? The thing is like, he was awesome in every measure, except for efficiency. No, and touchdowns. Fantasy points compared to his usual. That's the only way. That's just a three fantasy point is like, yet's really frustrating when we're used to like 30 for him at this point of the season. Literally averaging 30.7 performances per game. Five catches for 27 yards. He would have had what 20, 23.6 if you score from the three yard line. But he obviously went down at the very end of the game, doing the right thing for the team. Jamison Williams and Omnara, both absolutely crushed. Jamo, five for 91 and two touchdowns on nine targets. Looked amazing. 26.1 fantasy points and Omnara, nine for 153 on 11 targets classic Omnara game here. 24.2 fantasy points. Sam Laporta was the guy that really fell short in this one as the past catcher that just was sort of left out. You know what's annoying? It's either Jamison or Laporta. Yeah. And they ever do it. This is a years now going on. Like just we've got four guys that were starting like fairly regularly, right? Not including the quarterback. And it's going to be tough to get both Gibbs and Omnara and Jamo and Laporta. All the things that we want to eat in fantasy in this week. It just wasn't Sam Laporta donated one of those touchdowns. The Laporta. He could have, but it's real fun having it. Yeah. Lions are what the lions are. Fantastic week again. For the Green Bay Packers, first week that we got to see Josh Jacobs 11 carries and clearly was the back that had the most judge for me and their backfield five catches for 55 yards and a touchdown as well through the air on seven targets. 20.1 fantasy points. So nice, outing for Josh Jacobs for his first game of the season. Past catchers really kind of had a past catcher and Jordan love did not eat the way that we thought they were going to against this lion's secondary. If we're not the best effort from your defense probably all so far this season. Ranch has an interception. He's back. It felt like it felt like there was nine interceptions in this game. It was a lot of there was almost interceptions. A lot of that. I started to believe there was only one. Jacobs, by the way, but at the beginning of the game, the broadcast was talking about like, yeah, like 30 to 35 snapples with Matt LaFlor indicated to them in their production meetings. That was one of those where if the Packers were winning comfortably, we'd see more of March on Lloyd. They were not. And it was it was close. The battle is a battle of the game. And Josh Jacobs is just so much better than the rest of the Packers running backs that he's going to be incredibly busy. They grabbed the Panthers on Thursday. Did you say 35 snaps 30 to 35 played 35 right on the nose? Oh, did he really? Yeah. Wow. Okay. He played 54%. Yeah. Okay. I take this up. Wow. I'm surprised. I feel like I saw him so much more. All right. I thought Matt LaFlor because again, the Fox broadcast is just relaying what they were told. Yeah. And it felt like more than 35. So if I told you that Christian Watson and Matthew Golden got 20 targets between the two of them against this Ryan secondary, if you think so, but unfortunately, Christian Watson, five for 57, 10.7 fantasy points, Matthew Golden, six for 39 on 12 targets, but nine point nine fantasy points. This has been like a thing for Matthew Golden where he gets a bunch of volume, but it's it's short area of the field. It's the volume keeps coming. We'll be fine. Yeah, we're going to keep chasing it because you always want to chase that that volume there. And Tucker Kraft got in the end zone. You know, NTE is back. He's back as a said and forget it line up lock. Yep. I didn't. My wife does this thing where if something goes wrong with our fantasy lineups, the first thing she has like asked me like, you know, sort of what were you thinking telling me to do this when she did? I don't ever actually tell her what to do with her fantasy lineup. But yesterday she got home. She took our two older children out for a playdate and got back at like maybe four 42 and opened up the fantasy after the first time since the game started, which is something that I wish I could do wait for four hours and then do it. And she's like, why would you tell me to start Matthew's effort today? Oh my God. He was awful. And I was like, well, the game started about eight minutes. Yes. Yes. Yes. Like, and he already has a passing touchdown. Only one touchdown in the first quarter. And the Rams went on to defeat the Raiders. They're probably their best game in a while. The Rams. They were smoking the Raiders 28 to six is one last time. Yeah, much better. So Matthew's effort throws for 195 yards. Three passing touchdowns was picked off one. So ends up with 17 and a half fantasy points by far far from a dominant day, but still good enough for Matthew Stafford, who has been he's right. He now leads the NFL and pass yards once again, right up there in terms of passing touchdowns once again Stafford playing well for LA. It was the running backs that were the story yesterday. So Kyron Williams and Blake Korum both play a ton that each rush for at least 93 yards and a touchdown. Kyron still has the edge and he's going to be the guy, especially in games that are more competitive. But Korum in matchups that might not be competitive, kind of interesting if you are desperate at flex. Yeah. Remember, we yesterday on FFC. I said, this might be a chance where Korum could pay off because the Raiders have a lot of the most rushing yards this season. The most rush attempts again. So it was an opportunity and he delivered. Yeah, and by the way, the Rams are about to get on the streak because they go, they put the chargers at the commanders and at the Cardinals over the next. Oh my god. Opportunities for them to feast offensively except for at wide receiver, not in Pugna Cua. They thought, what's it going to look like? No Devonte Adams. Well, it was a lot of Pugna who had 10 of Matthew Stafford's 29 targets. He turned it into eight catches 68 yards, found the end zone as well, added two rushes for good measure. And then it was kind of all the tight ends. Colby Parkinson was playing well early. He has five catches for 48 yards. He got hurt. That dude is playing through a lot, right? The tough ombre is Colby Parkinson, but his health meant a ton of Davis Allen and a ton of, well, this is kind of part of the planning ways. They basically played three tight ends all game. Tyler Higby, Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, go figure the Davis Allen has four catches for 20 yards and two touchdowns. Funky game. I'm not starting any rain. I'm considering Parkinson most. If there's healthy next week, it would go Parkinson, Higby and then Davis Allen for the Raiders. There's been a lot of chatter like his Kirk cousins going to get benched now. Kirk cousins continues to play great football for our purposes. He had 20.4 fantasy points averaged 18.5 fantasy points per game in weeks one through six. It's like a top eight quarterback in fantasy right now. Cousins leads the NFL in passing touchdowns. His leash is shorter, but still pretty solid. They have the jets, the Niners and Seattle over their next three. The part that's most confusing about the Raiders offense is that Ashen Gentie falls forward basically like the length of his body on every rush, right? He's about six feet tall, actually less than that. He gets like two yards of carry, but he gets all the work in the passing game. Ashen Gentie had eight catches on eight targets for 61 yards yesterday, eight for 61. There's a big theme for Ashen Gentie. I don't think that's rushed for more than 2.7 yards per carry and any of his last three games, but that receiving volume is elite right now for Gentie. Brock Bowers yesterday had just what was it? Seven for six for 73. So Bowers tough when they don't he does not score a touchdown, but what are you going to do? Trade Tucker back to back big games. You guys buy it or sell it here? No, this is typical of him. And he has a smoke. Absolutely. I texted you guys this the other day. Ashen Gentie suddenly like Justice Hill or something like with all the passcats and figure out RJ Harvey, like he's just nothing as a rusher. I want to look it up right now. I want to see if at the end, we're going to move ahead of the next game. But I'm curious if Ashen Gentie is the only running back in the NFL this year to have at least three receptions in every single game so far this season. Maybe CMC is on there. CMC. Yeah. How about CMC? That was that first drive. He had more yards than the actual total of the drive. Crazy. It was like a 65 yard touchdown drive. He had 69 yards on the drive. I have something like that, yeah, 'cause they had a penalty head. - All right, last. game of that game was the chiefs and the Seahawks big time performance from Seattle. Yes, chiefs and Seahawks. Let's talk about this one. Fellas, Jackson Smith and Jigby. I just want to go on the record. Pretty good. Pretty good at ball. Pretty good at fantasy. Pretty good at all the things. Does it again, nine for a buck 50 in a touchdown on 12 targets. No one else on the Seahawks was over 42 or CV yards in this game. One of the surprises coming in was that Zach Scharbene would not play in this game. We found that of course out of course on Friday, but I mean, Wilson, one more for us here. 24 carries a hundred yards and a touchdown. Also at a 15 yard catch in this one. Played about a half to snap some available shown to leave this game injured. I'm not sure this will matter much as long as Scharbene is back for the next game. I hope whoever we answered the question for didn't drop in manual. Wilson, if they had asked because this is part of it without knowing if we're going to use Zach Scharbene, you had another week. Maybe two. Who knows where it's going to be? They play Monday night against the bears for the record. It's going to be a tricky one, but I think our our game plan here will be either don't start them at all. Or if you have Scharbene and Wilson, you could kind of take it down to the wire. But I'd probably just stay away from Scharbene, at least for one more game. I'm projecting it as a three headed committee. Essentially, Scharbene, get some run. Wilson about even in carries and in a little Georgia on the passing situations. That's all projected unless we get more information or she cheered left after the his 20 second snap of the game. They're trying to use him more, but he hasn't really gotten to fantasy relevant yet. So nothing really to see there. Seattle Seahawks one Ken Walker, the third zero. I did like the under on the rushing yards. I wish I talked about that one yesterday because he had just 36 on the ground. I was like 85. It was wild. He's been red hot this year, but the sea ox has shut him down 14 carries 36 yards. He had four catches for 21 yards. So if you're starting him, at least you're getting a little bit of a floor from the passing game. But this is a rare dud from him. He did handle 100% of the chiefs running back carries into this game. So nothing to sweat here. Brutal matchup, bad game. He'll be back. You might want to be more concerned though about the passing game. Patrick Mom's another dud. Yes, tough matchup, but another dud 19 for 3365 yards. No touchdowns and one interception and still not running just 14 yards on two carries into this game. Travis Kelsey followed right in line. Four for 44 on eight targets. This is about what four consecutive rough games now for Travis Kelsey's only had one big game so far this season. So not a line of block at this point in the season. Xavier worthy with no where she rice was a dud three for 11. He's not startable right now. We need where she writes to get back. So we have a startable receiver for the chief Brian Thomas Jr. in a fourth for a second round pick who says no to Kansas City. Not me. They need it away. Do it. They need it to the chief say no to the Jaguar say no as someone invested in a ratio rice. I hope that that you know, but I think the chief said yes. And I think Jacksonville should absolutely take the second round. I agree with that. I agree with that. By the way, Christian McCaffrey the only other running back in the NFL with at least three catches every single game this season. There you go. So for a month and a football, we can do this in a milliseconds. We do expect say one Barclay to be back tonight. We do like we also would expect the the Eagles to rely heavily on him. Tanner McKee gets this cowboy's off defense, but he does not run the football like Jalen Hurts does should mean more for say one Barclay for the Cowboys. It's the usual suspects. Dak CD Pickens and Javante Williams. The most important part of your most important part. I need 20.21 fantasy points to best Daniel Dopp in starts of the week from Javante Williams. What do you have? Javante Williams projected for 16.8. So are you guys? Wait, are you second and third or for to win starts of the week? Don't worry about it. I can't just just that's what we need. Okay. Just to tell my am I at first? You're good. Yeah. Yeah. I think you're right. Another one. So 20.2 is the Monday night miracle too. So somehow Javante Williams get our up to 20 balls short of 20.2 fans. Come on. Maybe get there. I'm gonna have a lot of fun. Guys, thanks for hanging out with us today. Sorry. We went a little bit long. I'm not sorry. Me neither. Quick update here, though, from Adam Schefter, a little bit of breaking news. Vikings running back Aaron Jones knee injury that he suffered doing Sunday's game over the Colts is not considered to be significant at this time. And a score a source described it as day to day. That's what we like to hear. Yeah. Let's get good. Jalen Waddle news and then we came out of this pretty clean. Love that week week seven. It's good. Sweet. A great way to be able to end the show on some good news. Plus, we got the poll here. What will the Vikings record be after the next four games? Forty three percent, say eight and two. Right. We got a lot of skull in the, uh, skull. It went no, you're Jersey. Did we get that? I don't think did anyone in chat know that this is in fact number 43, a Jake Bates, Jersey kicked a field goal to beat the Green Bay Packers. I got it before. Listen, he was 39 plate for the Michigan Panthers in the UFL. Then he signed with the Lions and I was so excited. I went out and bought a Jersey literally the day that I could. And he was 43. And then someone else got cut. He switched to the number that he wanted. I need a real number 39 Jake Bates Jersey guys. No one knows who 43 is. So Detroit Lions, please make it happen. I know he became 39 when Dan Campbell at one point referred in referred to him as frickin baits man, frickin baits man. I think so too. If you know this, I was, I was in on the ground floor for what it's worth. Love my guy, Jake Bates. All right, give you two as well guys. We're going to be back tomorrow. Make sure you have fun watching Monday night football. Don't forget to love each other and be kind to yourself. You deserve it. We'll see you on Tuesday.
