🔥 These Players Could Help CRUSH Your Opponent in Week 6 | ESPN Fantasy

Well, because we are showing people how things change and how our opinions can change as we get more data to crunch, right? Hey, I'm Liz Lose. This is Facts versus Feelings. And today's fact is that change isn't just ever present. It is essential. Hello, Daniel, Doc. Hello, Liz Lose. We don't have any boxes. Well, technically this is a box, but it's a big one that we can share together because we're in person. Yes, we are. It is so gorgeous here. Sorry. I'm very excited and didn't let you reply. It's very the leaves, the fully. Yeah, you guys don't get that down in L.A. In the same way that we do up here. Oh my gosh. And we're dressed for full. We are watching, matching overall. I'm really excited about this. I said to Liz earlier this year, I really want to make overalls work. And she said, you can. And I was like, I don't think I'm going to wear overalls. So she promised that she would wear overalls if I decided to wear overalls. And look at you actually didn't know that I was going to wear them today. You'll see at the very end of the show the first time that Liz saw me in the overalls. It's really cute. Yes. So stay all the way through the end. Yes. But with that being said, Liz, let's talk about a couple of players today. Somebody came back last week. His name was Jaden Daniels. He looked pretty freaking good. Get some Monday night football game this week. Are we just fully back in on Jaden Daniels at this point? I mean, I don't think you can be, but you can trust that his legs are being utilized. And let's be honest. Like you didn't draft him for his arm. It's not like his rookie when he was amazing stats as a passer wore fantastic. It was the rushing upside that makes him such a special player. His 32.3 fantasy points last week were the second highest of his career. So that could mean one of two things, right? Either it's a fluke. Yeah. Or it's a suggestion of more greatness to come. I would like to see that because that is exactly what made him so good. Like you said, as a rookie, I like his weapons. I love being able to have everyone out there. Hopefully he has to find digs. We'll see him keep watching that practice report. But to be honest, it just feels like as long as he's running, that's all that I care about. I don't care. And like obviously this matchup stiffens, right? He's playing the 49ers. That is by no means a gimmie in terms of the matchup, but also he is not the average russia. And I think at this point in the season, it is week six. The quarterback position has been a complete headache. We've got four teams on by. You can no longer be hesitant. We said it even last week. Yes, he has our current elbow injury. I don't know, bro, wasn't like holding on to it. He didn't seem scared. So I am going to roll him out knowing that maybe it's volatile, but also excited by the ceiling that seems to be if not back at least present. Yes, assuming that he can run the ball, look the way that he did. I am willing to roll with that injury concern knowing what it is that he'll do on the few. One quick stat in games in which he's rushed at least five times. He has averaged over 22 fantasy points per game. So to contextualize if my quarterback is getting me 20 fantasy points. I'm feeling pretty good about that. And I think Jaden Daniels should be running the ball at least five times a game. Let's make that. Let's make that a thing. You get into existence. You know what else turned into a thing that was a thing before, but I was out on Mike Evans. I thought it was an old guy. Well, he is the oldest. The oldest basketball on the squad. I was not invested in him at all. And he looks unbelievable, but part of that is because he's the last man standing doesn't really make a difference. And by the way, who thought that that would be the case? Debo Samuel obviously suffered that hamstring injury in week five. So he's now out. Plus we've got Christian Kirk who has yet to see the field where he pierce all. Just to Marcus Robinson, like it is getting thin, except for old man Evans, who is Brock Perties X. And we will take that the matchup is also against the commanders. The team we just discussed right on Monday night football. So I'm feeling pretty good about Mike Evans in prime time. The matchup is awesome. Washington has allowed the fourth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. And top scoring wide receivers who have gone against the commanders have averaged nearly 25 fantasy. The other opposing teams wide receiver one that is definitively Evans. You know what's tough is at this point getting back in on Mike Evans. I've changed my narrative on him now for this season. We're allowed to change our minds. We have more data at our veil. That is a thing. And he looks fantastic being the guy that's there. If there was one pass catcher, I was going to want in San Francisco moving forward. I love George Kittle. I hope that he continues on at tight end. Like he probably has a more valuable position in your fantasy lineup. Because of the volatility of the position. But Mike Evans looks fantastic. It doesn't look like this is his first year with Brock Pertie. They look awesome together. And if he's the guy, you saw him being a touchdown maker already. He's just going to keep on doing what he does. I love the idea of a veteran guy crushing in spite of the fact that I was out on him. Sometimes I like being proven wrong. And it's cool for Mike Evans to keep. Also, what a tired way to live being married to takes you made before you had more information. Who doesn't like, Oh, are you the same person you were 22? I hope not. Nope. I hope not. Right. Yes. So yes, you're allowed to change your mind. And I mean, if we we did Tuesday's fantasy focus show together, we did the waiver wire show together. If we're talking about Brandon cooks, oh my gosh, as an option, we need to be starting Mike Evans without hesitation, totally with you on that. But someone I'm not as excited about a mecca, a buka Liz. I drafted a mecca to be a high and wide receiver to from my squad. Hasn't happened that way through the first month of the season. You did have 17 fantasy points last week, though. Yeah, but a mecca, buka was supposed to be a breakout player, along with Lad Maconkey. Like these are going to be the two. I got to do that stand out because we are showing people how things change and how our opinions can change as we get more more data to crunch, right. But I think it's a particular tilt for a buka investors, because for the first four weeks of the season, this guy got you fewer than 12 fantasy points per game. And then he scores a rushing rushing touchdown, which boosts his total. Now maybe he was on someone's bench. In fact, like less week, let's just admit it. No, no, no, somebody called into the show and asked whether they should start carnaltator mecca, buka and I said carnaltate. I also said carnaltate. And so maybe this was such a good match. I know, I know, I know, maybe this person's bench was boosted and rather than his lineup. But if you did get the rushing score, congratulations. Yeah, because a mecca, buka's 17 point to fantasy effort in week five were the most fantasy points that he is recorded since week 10 of last year. That was also the last time that a buka recorded over 65 receiving yards in a single game. This is what's so triggering, Liz. I drafted a mecca, a buka to be the guy who was at the beginning of the season, because that was, you said that was week 10, right. Of last year. So like he fell off. We all knew it as a rookie. Like he kind of fell off at the tail end when I explained it away. Yes. And this year, I'm drafting him to be a guy that what he was at the beginning of his season. Kick up where he saw it. And it said that hasn't happened, even with Baker Mayfield. And now he doesn't even have Baker Mayfield. He's got Jill and Daniels. Let me give you so that everybody doesn't think that this rushing score is some sort of a bounce back in the 13 games since week 10. He has averaged 7.9 fantasy points per game. That's the wide receiver 54. He's managed one receiving receiving score tied for wide receiver 76. He's averaged 3.4 receptions per game. And 34.9 receiving yards per game. That's not a wide receiver to know that's barely a flex. Now we do have four teams on by. We've got a couple of injuries. So obviously I think we're going to have to flex him. But I just don't want people to think the rushing score means he back. Hey, he's back and he's going to do some things, especially this week against the Pittsburgh Steelers because they have got a very good defense. Even though the Cowboys didn't really shut down. Well, the Steelers have only let two wide receivers reach 13 fantasy points all season. So matchup is not great. And we've still got Jalen Daniels with a little bit more tape on him. Yeah, throwing the ball. So he's a wide receiver 3 flex option for us. And that's it probably because that's where you need to have him. Yeah, it doesn't always feel great. But what does feel great is hanging out with you guys. If you could like and subscribe to this. That would mean the world that helps other people be able to find the video and. Leave us your voice mails. We love being able to get your week seven questions and let us give you some life advice, relationship advice, whatever it is that you need. Let us come into your brains, your homes. That's right. Give you all kinds of advice. But we don't really want your advice. Well, maybe you do. I would love your advice. If you want to give me advice, what do you think my problem is? You don't have to tell me. 3, 2, 3, 3, 9, 1, 4, 8, 5, 5. And leave us your Instagram handle. All I can do right now is put on a brave face and go out there and be their leader. It's over. We are screwed. It's week six and we are panicked on a handful of players, Liz. Unfortunately, I'm very excited to be here with you in person today again. You're unfortunately very excited to be here with me in person. No, unfortunately was the end of the first sentence and then it was a period and we are excited to talk through our panic together. I know where you're going. Punctuation is important. We're diving into a new segment. Panic meters on four different players today. We're through the first five weeks of the season going into week six. We're going to write down on our little sheets here. Yeah, whiteboard is a better way to call it because it's not a sheet of paper. And we're going to say what our number is. We're going to go first though, Liz. I'm going to start with you. Why don't you give me your analysis around Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving, and then once you're done, we'll write down how panicked we are on. Okay, so Bucky Irving had a monster week five, right? 30 fantasy points. Okay. He's also managed three double digit outings over the last five weeks. If we look at his numbers from week five, which were such a boom, his 175 scrimmage yards made up for nearly 40%. center over 40% of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers entire offense. Yes. You would imagine that would make him a real big focal point for this offense. You would think. And they are playing against the Pittsburgh Steelers, right? Yes. So if you were the Steelers, how would you attack this matchup and maybe you did it last week as well? Um, I'd probably take away the running game because I'd let the quarterback meet. That last week was Daniel Jones and John in the Taylor. Yes. Yeah. And Jonathan Taylor struggled to the tune a fewer than 12 fantasy points, right? That's it. Yep. So that you have an undrafted rookie in his second start under center. Would you make him throw the ball, taking away his best offensive weapon? Yes. That would make a lot of sense. So I imagine that the Steelers will be keyed in very well on Irving the way they were on Taylor. Now, you know, I know we just talked about him. I could go maybe that means a couple more targets for him, but I'm not like in love with his efficiency. Sure. I understand that. I just decide no before everyone comes at me. Sure. So, um, that being said, running back, super volatile position. Yeah. Can't sit Bucky Irving. No. No. But you should probably temper your expectations of him. So I guess now I'm supposed to ask you what your panic meter is. Yeah. I want you to wait down. One is low. Ten is very high. And this is for week six specific. Week six specifically. I think. All right. This is what I'm going to, I'm going to say it's this. All right. And now we're going to show it to the world. Three. Two. One. I'm a six. Oh, twin brain twin overall twin brain. Right. So six because I'll let you explain it's probably the same reason. Oh, gosh. Okay. Well, sure. I'd love to. Six because one. Uh, the Pittsburgh Steelers, I think are going to do exactly what the Dallas Cowboys didn't do last week. It's kind of like copy and paste to the analysis we had last week where it was like, you're going to let the undrafted free agent quarterback beat you, especially after you saw Bucky go off this last week. Correct. And you're going to make sure that you key in on the running back and we'll let Jalen Daniels do all the things. We can't get rid of him because he is an RB one, a definitive RB one on an offense. He got to start him. Right. So you have to play Bucky Irving, even though it's a really tough match. Same paid. I love it. All right, next one. Yes. Okay. A little bit of a trigger warning. I'm going to tell you now. Liz. Okay. I'm bringing to the table. Colston, Loveland. Oh, God, Daniel. I know. I know. But here's the thing about Colston, Loveland. It's supposed to compartmentalize right now. I know. Here's where I'm at. We talked about this a little bit a couple days ago. Okay. We projected to play this week in our fantasy rankings. We'll see what that really means. But if I think that Caleb Williams is going to be back, I have to be in on Colston, Loveland still. I understand how bad it was and how bad it has been. Part of that has been because he hasn't had a real quarterback under center. This offense isn't really operating at the level that Ben Johnson wants it to. He's been dialing it down. Nobody wants it to. Thank you. Of course. I understand that. Okay. So this is one of those things with Colston, Loveland. I don't care what the numbers say. Since he's had, I understand he has one game over 10 fantasy points. Okay. I get it. This is the idea that if Caleb Williams comes back, I would feel worse, not having the guy that I drafted in the fourth round. I know it's week five, but that's still in my brain sitting on my bench. Unless I have Isaiah likely or some very obvious, maybe I could be okay with that, but I am still in on Colston, Loveland. I think to an extent for this week, even though we're not even sure if Caleb Williams is going to play. This may change if Caleb Williams doesn't play this week. But that's where I'm at on Caleb Williams. I have this emotional almost like I can't quit you feeling. And it's not about numbers. So I want to ask you on a scale of one to ten. I think they are on three point. The bears are three point favorites at Atlanta right now. But if Caleb Williams is back, there's no way that Ben Johnson isn't putting up all the points, right? Even just to prove a point. So now I mean, there is a way. Okay. And it's ten is very panicked. Ten is very panicked. And one is not panicked at all. Yep. Okay. I got my number. All right. Okay. And I did mine. Okay. Here we go. And I'm a sloppy. But so is this. That's okay. Three. Two. Two. One. Oh. You've got to be kidding me. Okay. I'm still nervous. You didn't know where is this. So the number is eight. We're both in eight. Okay. All right. So here's the problem. I am still in on Cole St. Loveland. Yeah. But I am panicked. Yeah. I am super nervous if I am starting him. Because I recognize that I'm rolling with the guy that has disappointed me. And do I actually have definitive reasons to say, here's why you should start him this week. Honestly, no. This is very anecdotal, narrative-based, if Caleb Williams starts, then he does it. How many people in fantasy football both analysts and enthusiasts, if you will, will never say that part. That's why the show is called "Facts versus Feelings" because we try to give you some both. All right. And so I appreciate you owning that. And I'm in the same, I'm in the same boat. This is someone that we thought could be the tight end one overall. Yeah. ahead of the season. Should be the clear number one pass catcher, honestly, on this Bears team with all the things that we think of. Team of the episode is that change is ever present. So we are allowed. There we go. Okay. All right. Let's do an next one, Liz. Up here. I do. All right. Another running back. I want to talk about Woody Marx because he's been one of this week's most popular waiver wire ads. He was added in something like 17% of ESPN fantasy leagues we've been talking about, you know, his increasing snap share and the 50/50 theoretically 50/50 share with him in David Montgomery and David Montgomery, obviously, out with a groin injury. And after Montgomery exited, Woody Marx saw all of the snaps saved the kneel down at the very end of the game, right? So we are expecting him to be an RB one and one of team as an RB one, they're an automatic start. Now we're among the top 25 running backs. That is what we determine within, within throughout the week, right? But I hate this match up. It's terrible. I hate this match up versus Jacksonville and in London. So there's all the international wonky travel stuff associated here for context. The Jaguars are allowing the lowest yards per carry rate in the league at 2.9. Yeah. They've allowed the fewest rushing yards to opposing running backs. Just two rushing touchdowns allowed, Jonah Coleman and Will Shipley, which is like a wild unbelievable. We didn't expect those to be the players, obviously also the fewest fantasy points per game to opposing running backs. And now we're going to have Woody Marx, who did flashes a rookie, but also showed that he wasn't up to the task, frankly, of being a primary ball carrier, hence the David Montgomery addition. But again, four teams on the back, RB one. And so now you're in a spot where he's probably what in your rankings, RB let's do the pan of the reread. We got different numbers. All right. All right. Well, how panicked am I on Woody Marx against the Jacksonville Jaguars? I don't want you. I think you'd be copying my, I'm not copying nothing. I don't know. You're in motion. Yeah, because you know what number I'm writing when I write stuff, you know what I mean? You look like you're making a smiley face. Oh, then maybe there's a circle almost numbers. Oh, see? See? I guess we're out of something here. Three, one. Okay. We're close. Yeah. I'm a 10. I'm so, but like I am nervous because I'm a 10. Liz, you're a nine. I am at 10 because. So where do you have in your rankings? 24. Okay. So you're still starting him. You'd flex him. I would consider flexing him, but I would pray that I have done a better job with my bench that I could find a wide receiver that I want to start over Woody Marx. Okay. Little just, would you rather here? Would you rather flex a mechobuca or Woody Marx? Pass. No, you don't have, you don't get to pass. Come on. Yes. Sorry. You're midwestern. You're midwestern. You're midwestern. He came out there. Okay. For that midwestern accent, I will give you an answer. I would start Woody Marx. Yep. Because of? He's going to get the volume. He's going to touch the ball. He may fall in the end zone because they get down there. He just has a better opportunity. He's going to go the higher floor of the colon equity. I agree with you. Okay. You walking me through what it is that I think I appreciate that is. We knew of a segment called fantasy therapy. That's true. All right. Last one. Last one. This one is going to be for me, Jalen Coker. Oh, I love hearing that name again now that he's back in play. Yeah. It's been a minute. Right? Let's talk about this. So the only reason why I'm slightly panicked is because it's just been a while. Yeah. So week one, eight for 138 and two touchdowns, 33.8 fantasy points had nine targets. Beautiful. That was against the bear too. Yeah. Oh, sorry. I'm sorry about that. Good. Okay. That's again, 14.6 fantasy points. Just didn't find the end zone, but still heavily involved. Take it. Week three gets hurt. Only four targets. Two for 18, three point eight fantasy points. And then he misses week four against the Detroit Lions in which Teterol Macmillan just ate. Eight, right? And then week five was a buy. So it's kind of been a minute. And one of the problems that we sort of have right now with Jalen Coker is that we're projecting that he's still the guy that we thought with the first two games of this season. Like a book a conversation. We haven't seen Jalen Coker put it together for a full season. We don't know that he really is the guy that we've said after the first two games that Philly isn't a great defense, but they still do have some pieces. That's who Carolina is going to be playing. And so it makes me nervous because even though I love all of my Jalen Coker shares, I haven't seen it in a minute. And who's to say that it's going to come back and not disappear the way that it has in seasons prior. I mean, sometimes it disappears. Sometimes it does. - I have to write my panic meter. - Yes please. - I'm more panic now than I was. - I think maybe that's the point of the segment. - Yeah, okay. - Okay. - All right. - Okay. - Ready, three, two, one. - Very close. - Because we're within one of each other. I'm a four, this is a five. - No, other way around. - You're a four. - Yep. - I'm a five. - Yep. - At least one point lower. - Always, I'm sorry. You had blue, by the way. I had purple, 'cause mom adopts favorite colors. - Oh, yeah, mom adopts favorite colors. - Yeah, so I appreciate what you did here. I looked at the over under, the projected total is 40, 40, and a half. So, let's lower. - Let's lower. - That's not a lot of opportunities. - Yep. - But I do think, because we saw him be so dynamic. - We did. - It's what the other problem is, like, Ted's not even, he does coming off and buys. It's not like he needs rest. - Nope. - Right, everyone's fresh. - Everyone's good to go. Which means that he should be completely good to go. - Yeah. - Bryce Young's still throwing it a ton. - Right. - Like, that's the part, like, the offense is doing all the stuff. - And do we think that the Eagles will answer enough for them to have to keep valuing? - I don't know what to think about the Eagles. Does anyone know what to think about the Eagles in 2026? - Well, I know that it's time to bench to, yeah, bench. - Tell me about it. - Jalen Hertz, if you're not dropping it. - I still think Jalen Coker is a low end wide receiver to, or at least a flex option for you this week, given what we saw. Now that he's coming back and being healthy, I don't think the offense has changed enough from the first couple weeks of the season to make me think that he can't get back to that role. - Girl. - So, tell me. - What if I told you he was the ESPN consensus ranked wide receiver 20? That feels high now. Right. I feel like, who would you rather play Denzel Boston? - Again, it's Boston. - Jalen. - But again, Baltimore or Jalen Coker? - These are the decisions that people are making. That's also like why I get so annoyed on start sit shows where people are like. - That's so tough. - Right, but like, these are the decisions that people are making. - Well, we're also making them for what it's worth. - I would say, I'm not gonna start, I would start Jalen Coker over Denzel Boston. I think I would too, I think I would too. I would lean into that offense. I'd lean into what the Panthers are doing. I'm gonna keep leaning into Bryce Young. And if he shows me that he's gonna fall flat, then like, I almost, I'm buying in. - I'm gonna keep doing what I'm doing until somebody proves me wrong. - That's it. - All right. - I'm with you on that. - This is a safe place. It's a place where we can feel free sharing our feelings. - I feel like I had a lot of therapy already this episode. - Yeah, me too. I need some more after I saw what you think I was like. - Fair enough. - So then, what are the submissions this week, Daniel? - First one comes from chant dog, 93. I think that's how it is. There's three Gs. - We are punching, heading into week six. - A little bit. - Okay, let's do this. - What's going on with Chase Brown? Question mark. - Oh, she was being punchy. I don't blame this guy for all of the question marks that he's added. Yo, his efficiency has sucked. - Yeah. - He is averaging 3.5 yards per carry. That's the RB34. - I think that's been like the biggest problem. Honestly, is that his rushing efficiency has stunk. Maybe we had an inflated receiving floor for him heading into this season, but he is still the RB3 in receptions. - Yes. - It's 24. - He had a couple of games where he had some big numbers. - He's clearly involved in the passing game. - Only two rushes inside the five yard line. - That's a problem. - Somali P. Ryan stole a goal line carry last week when we were watching the games. That made me mad. So that's going to be a problem too, because if he is not efficient on the ground, then he needs both probably receiving game work and a little bit more touchdown equity, yeah. - I agree with you. So I think that's what's going on with him. I will say obviously the bangles are on by this week. Coming out of the buy, I looked up his rest of season strength of schedule that Mike Clay does for everybody and the running back position. It does ease up. It went from 23 over the first five weeks of the season to 16. - Okay, so more middle of the pack. - 23 is harder, higher than number is harder, yeah. - But I think here's the problem. You can't sit him. - No. - You probably can drop him to the running back to range after he returns, right? You can use him this week. And then you have to manage your expectations. So when you are looking at your flex or making the rest of your lineup decisions and you're expecting a depressed output from him, you have to choose the ceiling player. - Yeah. - And that is the way you're going to try to make up for it. Is a strategic move. Maybe blows up in your face. Maybe it wins you your matchup. That is the glory of this game. - It is. And then when you play on this Cincinnati Bengals offense that's gonna score as many points as it does, it could just be one week. And Chase Brown is right back on track and doing the things that we saw him do in the previous year. - Frustration though, completely valid. - Yeah, totally understood and very justified. Please feel hurt. - Do you have a voicemail? - We do Ross from your old stomping grounds, girl. - Oh, Providence Road Island. - Hi, my name is Ross from Providence. I use the zero QB Draft Strategy this year in 12P league and kicked out with CJ Stroud. I've been very pleased with the production and I consistently see him buried in rankings and a fantasy afterthought. Despite he actually ranks 11th with a 18.6 points per game ranking. And I was just wondering if it's time that we started talking about CJ Stroud in a more serious fashion. My Instagram handle is @RossRierden. Thanks, guys. - I love this question. - Great question. - I think it's not even a question. I appreciate the take. - Yeah, he's like, why aren't you standing more for CJ Stroud? - Right. - Like I love this and I also love the attitude of gratitude because most of the people call in are complaining. If you are happy with it, fantastic. I don't like this matchup against Jacksonville for you and I think ultimately the reason you continue to see CJ Stroud buried in rankings because of the lack of rushing upside. Now we did find the end zone last week. You got lucky, continue in that attitude of gratitude but also if you are following a zero QB strategy that means for a large part you've agreed to stream the position. - I was just gonna say that. Like if I went zero QB and my quarterback scored 16, 17, 23, and 21 in four of the first five weeks and I literally didn't draft a quarterback basically, I'd feel really good that that's what I'm getting from an undrafted player. So because I obviously invested other, I'm assuming the running back position or wide receiver position or tight end position is extra strong because of that. So I think for him specifically or the idea of going zero QB, CJ Stroud has actually lived up to expectation. Don't love it this week against Jacksonville and I do feel like even though he's been doing a fair amount here without those that rushing upside, I think he's probably gonna continue to live in that 16 to 17 point range. - He's the RB 20 and fantasy points via the ground per rush. - So the ceiling is limited. - I'm sorry he's the QB. He's the QB, I do yeah. CJ Stroud is currently the QB 20 and fantasy points per rush. So not great. - Yeah. Take it on Jacksonville, he's probably still gonna be in that mid-pack RB 2. - He's out of my top 15. - He's outside of my top 15 players with the position. - Me too. - All right, next one we have but great. Please call in with another question, Ross. Well, it wasn't a question. Maybe next time ask us a question. I don't know. Or don't. - Keep doing what you're doing. And maybe hit up Cafe Nuevo was one of my favorite spots when I lived in Providence. - Ramone, can you help me out here? At Ramone wants to know, do you have any better idea in the last name? - Leo cell. - There you go. Ramone Leo cell. Leo cell. Once in a, would you start Brock Bowers at tight end? - Yeah. Likely in the flex. - Over. - Carnel Tate. - Did you just do that on purpose? - Yeah. Remember when we talked about Carnel T last week? - So I'm definitely starting Brock Bowers. I don't think that he's the engine of the Raiders offense. We are great and he's playing Buffalo. So we're gonna expect a ton of points here, right? Buffalo coming off of a short week too. The question is Isaiah, likely or Carnel Tate? Likely is versus New Orleans. That's a great matchup Carnel Tate at Indiana. All right, I'm sorry, at Indianapolis. That's also a solid matchup, but I am gonna take the player who's been hot. - Me too. - And while I can't believe I'm gonna say this, Kim Ward is a streaky quarterback. So I guess I'll take the less streaky quarterback in James Winston. - I'm gonna Isaiah, likely. - Yeah. - He's just had so much volume. At least eight targets in four of his five games. I think he's had 10 or more targets in three of his five games. He actually has a higher target share in games played than Malik neighbors does, his teammate. So he's getting a ton of volume. - He's managed, he's drawn Isaiah, likely, has double digit targets in three of five. Carnel Tate has only managed double digit targets once all season. - Yeah, I'm going, it's crazy, but I'm going with both items. - I agree with you. - Yep. All right, we actually, last week, had one of our youngest callers call into the show. - It was so cute, yeah. Try to accept the trade, work wise. Thank you. - Oh, thank you. I really appreciate you listening. You're amazing. Okay, also I love that you don't have an Instagram handle. That is great parenting. - And his parent actually reached out to you on Instagram, Liz. Kaboos said, "My son is the unnamed child from last week." Thank you for airing this question. Core memory unlocked, which is the best sentence in the world. - I mean, that makes me feel really lovely. - Like this one, Venus, you put more of us all about. Like, I love that. Did you know though, there's more because he's actually back with another question and we found out his name. His name is Kaden, so take a listen. - Bill is up with Kaden. Just wondering, I am in a knockout week. Happy New Year's. - Kids playing knockout. - I don't care. - I don't care, no. - Parker Washington and Z-Flars. I'm wondering if I should start day and reflect or Parker Washington, thank you. - Oh my gosh, okay, I do care. I feel bad. - No, he's coming for your job. - He is. - He said, "Did you like the way he's like a sub-liz?" - Yeah. - Like, starting with some swag. - I don't like it. - I don't know that this kid is playing knockout. This is fantastic. And what a team. Did he draft CD-Lam Nico Collins, Parker Washington and Zayflowers? Maybe he worked the waiver wire to accumulate those players, but what a great problem to have. Unbelievable. Um, I'm. You know, I would love to be in a situation where I was thinking of Benching Parker Washington. Or are you thinking of Benching Parker Washington or is it, no, to me, I'm starting CD-Lam. I'm starting Zayflowers. I'm thinking about whether I'm Benching Nico Collins against Jacksonville, against Jacksonville, or Parker Washington versus Houston. They did bounce back a little bit. Last week, Demiko Ryan's got to look at that playbook, but the secondary is still a problem. Yeah, that Houston, Houston Texan secondary is still giving up a lot of points. What I bench, Nico Collins, I have them right next to each other. I know. We both do. It's a great question. Dang it. This is the kind of question that's really fun, though, because they make me want to dive back into my rankings and reassess why did I rank them this way in the first place? And I think if we walk through the argument. And remember, it's knockout, right? So like. You need. Mm-hmm. I might go with Parker Washington over Nico Collins. I am, too. Because who's been in London this whole time? They stayed in London, right? Yeah, Parker did. Right. And what did he do in London last week? Score two touchdowns. Look at that. Nico Collins flying all of the leg variables? I like it. Let's start Parker Washington over Nico Collins, and I think that's who you sit, Kaden. And really, as a parent, I hope I am right, because this is a high pressure situation. Kaden, your parents are doing a great job with you, by the way. Just do not get knocked out. Yes. Just so that you know. CD-Lam, Parker Washington's A-flowers, that sounds awesome. You're good. And Nico Collins. Unbelievable. All right. We'll call in with your cash-outs, crash-outs, and life advice. And if you have any roster questions as well, guys, set a reminder on your phone for Monday. Girls with your week, seven line-up questions. Phone number is. And leave your Instagram handle if you have one. LIST! COOL! Today, we learned that Parker Washington is definitively the best value drafted at the position. The Daniel Dopp is a way better artist than me, and if you only listen to the show, check out the video version, and you know exactly what I mean. And that change is always going to happen, so your best bet is to just flow along with it. Be sure to check out my week six edition of Facts vs. Feelings The Column, which is available on the dot com. And remember, send us those voicemails. We love hearing from you. The number to call is 3, 2, 3, 3, 9, 1, 4, 8, 5, 5. Until next time, may your facts be solid, your feelings be right, and your bus be someone else's problem. Hello, Ginemann! No, but if I dreamed it, I could do it, and today I dreamed it.
