Week 9 Studs & Duds + Jason’s Butthair - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/9

[MUSIC] >> Welcome to the Fantasy Footballer's podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. [MUSIC] >> Welcome in. [MUSIC] >> Did you hit a button and it didn't work? >> No, no, I thought about, I just feel like the people are getting tired of this guy. >> Of the bear. >> Yeah, he goes away tomorrow. >> Yeah, Jason returns. >> The return of Jason. >> He is back in Turkey. >> [LAUGH] >> It didn't take. >> [LAUGH] >> I fell out. >> He's- >> He's- >> He's getting rid of his hairy butt. >> Oh, really? >> Yeah. >> That's a week long procedure. >> Yeah, yeah, yeah, dude, cuz it's individual. They gotta go in and kill every hair follicle. >> Individual, I could go so much longer than this. I'm not going to. No, Jason will be back. Everything's fine, Jason's fine. >> Yeah. >> He's got two graduating seniors. He has twin seniors in high school, and they are doing kind of a final trip before the kids go off to college. And this was their opportunity to do it, and we said, hey, dad, go do it. And then swing by Turkey, get that taken care of. Do the butt hair thing, and then come on back when you're ready to rumble. >> It's, I mean, guys, it's disgusting. >> Yeah. >> So, he's taking care of it. >> Monday, November 9th. >> He's children, that's why he's children are disgusting. [LAUGH] >> They're staying there. >> In case you were wondering what he was talking about, he was referring to his children. >> No, Jason will be back tomorrow just in time for waivers. It was ironic that he had, we had had show 2000, and there was some stat in there about it never missing a waiver show or something. And then he instantaneously misses the waiver show last week. >> But I, you know, >> Tis the season. >> But here we are. We got a, we get to react to the week we previewed Mike, and then Jason gets to come into a brand new week. >> This was a weird one. >> Yeah, I mean, let me say this to start real quick before you jump in. >> There is a decent chance that when this episode releases, crap has happened that we don't know about. >> Sure. >> Already. >> Because the, the, oh man. >> The rumor mill says eight to 10 deals before the deadline tomorrow. Do I believe them? No, because they're all liars, and they're trying to move prediction markets or something. >> Cause I don't, I don't know what they're trying to do. >> When they say eight to 10 moves, how many articles do they get to post? >> I hope it's eight to 10 trades of Jonathan Taylor. >> I hope he circles the league and comes on back to Indianapolis. >> I, >> Now the report is, they'll accept the best deal by tomorrow, which is the least leverage position I've ever heard. >> Yes. >> That can't be true. >> I have, we'll take whatever you got by tomorrow. We need them out of you. >> I have many thoughts on what the cults are doing, and they're all bad. >> I, like, I, yesterday when we were watching Mike, you were, you were just like, what is, what are you doing? >> I have, look, as I have, I don't know if it comes through, but I'm working on myself. >> Like over the course. >> It does not. >> Over the course of this show in the 10 years, I try to not let things make me so upset. >> You are, you're a very self-controlled man. >> And I am just, I cannot understand. >> You're close to raging? >> Yes. >> I'm holding it back of, how is a player, which we got a report from Glazer? >> So that, you know, yes, who I do trust. >> With everything that's gone on with all the crap, I still hold Glazer reports as, this is foundational truth. And, Jay Glazer said that the giants offered a two and a five for Jonathan Taylor. It was not accepted. So they are, as a, as a par ball also confirmed it. They, like, they haven't quinked. They've withdrawn themselves. I'm sure they could get right back into it. But the point is, they had a confirmed offer for a two and a five for a running back past the, like, that's on the age cliff on the way out. And they're like, no, we're going to keep him because he's a foundational piece of our team. Okay, that's stupid, but fine. If that's what you're going to do. And then over the past two weeks, a player that is worth more than a two and a five is gotten, let me check here. >> Oh boy. >> 13 carries and eight carries. So in two weeks, a foundational running back has received 21 carries. In a game, you lost that was competitive the entire time against the Dallas Cowboys. One of the worst defenses in the entire league. And you're giving the ball to Seth McGowan who was playing well. That's not the point. The point is, you're saying that this play has to him out to the fans. >> This guy is worth so much to our roster that we're not going to take a two and a five, but we give him 13 carries. That is Asinine. >> And they were in a competitive game. >> That's what I'm saying. They could have won. >> Here's why. >> That means that player's not worth nothing. >> Right. If you, if you actually-- >> Autrogastomy off the streets, off the streets. >> More carries. >> What are we doing? >> Oh, he is, Mike is-- >> I thought he's coming out of his shoes. >> Listen, if you want-- >> John, he's from a-- >> He's from a-- >> You're like one of those cows with the hot steam coming out of their heads. >> Because everything-- >> The ball is what that says. >> Everything they have done in this situation has been the wrong decision. >> If you want Taylor to be your future, what you do is you definitively come out and say it. >> And then you shut all trade offers down. >> And you give him-- >> Give him the-- >> Want to carries. >> So I don't think-- >> But he's Jonathan Taylor. >> I don't think that's the case. Now, it's compounded by the fact Chris Ballard was let go. So they have an interim general manager who seems to be using chat GPT for his ever move. >> Yeah, you-- >> Are you trying to keep or lose the job? I'm not understanding what-- >> That's-- >> I don't understand what any plan is just for you to have. >> I've honestly wondered. >> Do they want Seth McGowan to have some big breakout game. >> So the-- >> So that their fan base feels good about a trade. I think he's probably going to get traded, Mike. >> Okay. >> That's what I think is going to happen. >> I think they're going to-- >> I think they'll blow it. >> They're going to blow it? >> Yeah. >> I think they'll keep him and then they're just going to be like, "Well, we'll give him 10 carries." >> Harbaugh was funny in New York because he said-- >> Rebuild. >> He said, "I'm not going to say that that trade offer didn't happen." Or that a trade offer didn't happen. But things changed. So they could come back into the picture. Devin Singletari's performance certainly would be-- >> Oh. >> Persuade them to. >> 24 opportunities into five fantasy points seems almost like something Alborlin could do. >> There was a few instances. I can't remember who they were. But that was multiple guys this week who just got the ball so much and did nothing. >> Yeah. >> It was like if the volume is crap for fantasy football. >> Well, so we have tons to react to for the weekend. Like I said, they'll probably be news. We had a trade this morning. Jesse Bates, one of the best players on the Falcons. Who are only a half game out of the division. Have chosen to send him out the door for a second round pick to Jacksonville. I think a two and a five. So Jacksonville's biggest position of need, safety. >> Yeah. >> They get one of the best in the game. Jacksonville is now entering the top tier Super Bowl contenders. >> Yeah, unquestionably. >> This is perfect. Love it for Jacksonville. I actually really like it for Atlanta. Jesse Bates is going to be turning 30 in February. And you got a two and a five. And you're a team, yes, you're not you're you're in a you're in the division. >> You're in a poop poop division. >> You're not going to but you're not going to make a Super Bowl run. Like you might steal a home game. >> Right. >> But you're not they know. >> Okay. >> So good for them. >> I'll try to better out the fantasy footballers.com's the website. All the rankings. Everything on there join the foot.com. The community. And we've got your reactions. >> Also more news. >> Well, I'm just for to give the Falcons. 19 carries at seven targets for their foundational running. >> Oh, oh. >> Cuz yeah. >> Vision. >> Yeah. >> Cuz yeah. Cuz that's what you do. A player you're rebuilding with. >> That's what you do. >> Call. >> So here we got him idiots have taken over. >> We got a Monday. >> Monday for you. Your reactions to the weekend. Mike, you'll be happy to know. I've previewed none of these. >> You know none of these. >> But so what we're saying at the beginning is anecdotally. >> No, this is not Colts. >> Okay. >> This was back to like the. Was it just my team's where it was like. Stuff felt really weird. Because you had these it felt really lopsided of just a handful of guys like went crazy. >> I think it started. I mean, yeah, you had monstrous chase. Can walker. Jordan love like monstrous weeks for some players. >> Yeah, I don't know. I mean the remains kind of got it done. But let's see what the what the listeners thought. >> Newns. >> Starting with. >> Oh, yeah. >> Tank. >> Dalicious. >> That was fantastic. Buck weaving. >> He keeps doing it. >> He does. He's. >> He looks good. >> He looks good. >> Javante Thrillium. >> CJ. >> Wow. >> Oh, yeah, like Stroud. >> Yeah. >> Air Jordan. >> Love. >> Yeah, I played it against him. Matthew Gold Rush. >> He's in here every week now. >> Yes. >> As is TD Higgins. >> Or TD Lamb. We got two of them. >> Or a Brock star party. >> Kid of the Walker Texas Ranger. >> Yeah, he was good this week. You came back. You don't love it. We got some bad ones. Devin Dingelberry. Tuckered Outcraft aka Tuckercrap. >> Yeah, that's we'll talk about that. >> Derrick. >> Dick Henry. >> Deandre Whiff. >> Oh, you. >> I played against him too. Jared Gawfel oh Dude Ashton janky. Yeah, or trashed and genty Funny, I I made that joke the studio cuz I thought I heard them say it. I'm like that felt mean. Yeah vile pit Yes, my weak willess. Oh, he was terrible. I guess he's injured chase brown pants once again He was his pants are Tamed his pants are He couldn't be more mid. Yeah He's just kind of okay. I mean and he he finally like looked good over the last couple we see has looked good So that team is cooking. You just can't score touchdowns because T Higgins is a single selfish digit fantasy points for Chase Brown in three or four weeks So no and no part of the story for the bangles this year when we talk about that team Do we mention Chase Brown's name? That's what's right what's going on? Hashtag Monday, Punde every Sunday night Thank you for your submissions Everybody thanks you except for Devin Dingelberry who does not thank you. Oh man. That's I was very disappointed In Devin's performance. I thought I thought he was going to be perfectly fine since in Adi scored 31 35 43 and 34 points during their win streak and Chase Brown has zero touchdown. Yeah, see that that's everything One thing I was going to say I saw the Tucker out what what did Tucker craft finish with I had already won by so many points That I honestly had I did not I can't even pay attention to all my points. So it's funny because so so Harold Fanon one One for two for two for eight two for eight Oh, no eight one no no one reception for one yard two for eight rushing. Oh, that's right So Harold Fanon was 100% so this was the competition craft and Fanon craft did nothing Fanon was a goose in regulation or one cat. Yes. No, no a goose. I believe and then he's and so I had a million messages Even though he was not the start of the week And then he scores. I'm Harold the man. He was a goose until about two minutes left in over Which is insane and then he has insane then he had a good catch and then a boss touchdown where he threw guys off of him Like they were nothing and you're like this. You're not throwing the ball to this guy. Yeah weirdo is absolutely crazy. All right, let's move on Bank on it smartly presented by us bank Well, uh, we've got three more player names Mike. Yep, performances this week. Can we bank on it or not C.J. Stroud 384 and five good night five five So I Tried I tried my best To will the chargers to some sort of life like poking like poking it with a stick. You know what I mean? All right, I tried to tell you that you didn't have to do that one. I shouldn't have done that one I mean it was easy work for C.J. Stroud booty at two touchdowns Hutchinson Nico I mean everybody but Marv Marv slid right into Houston as the best wide receiver five on that team Jason had a killer Tweet I'm gonna go about Marv. Yeah. Oh good. He would dump it on it Well, you just he screenshot the the five wide receivers and with the the captures dad Which one of these great receivers did the Texans trade a second round pick for oh my gosh So the one who went two for 20 so yes, so booty Dell Collins Hutchinson. Yeah, what's really funny about Which one of these did they trade a second? There was a point during the week this week where I go like I kind of forgot the compensation for Marv and I was like oh my gosh We did a good thing We did a good thing. Yeah The gap between where Marv is and where he needs to go to matter It's like the Grand Canyon So can you bank on C.J. Stroud while they can't run the football they're banking on C.J. Stroud with their trades and acquisitions and So to me that the schedule doesn't look too intimidating. I'm a bank on it with C.J. Stroud. Where are you? I am a bank on it his The the log is actually pretty funny because he is very Green light yellow light over the past but since week two, honestly Why do quarterback 12 26 4 13 although he scored a bunch of points quarterback 2 14 quarterback 1 So yeah, I mean overall Stroud is playing very well. They're not going to find a running game. I think that Yeah, like David when David Montgomery comes back that no nothing will be fixed with the running game They're just they are who they are not unlike. They want to be something else either at this point. Well, it's like the Packers Just yeah, yeah, in brain just embrace who you are like the bangles were this for They've been this like they've lived here with a an offense that's like this is a top five offense and they can't run It just happens because your passing attack is so dangerous. Do you think they didn't know What the green Bay Packers were going to do Especially when Josh Jacobs leaves that game with an injury. You think the defense was like it didn't matter. Let's clamp down man We got it It didn't matter you couldn't stop it. So are you bank on it? Yeah, yeah, it's gonna happen Take dial for those very Texans Nine targets for for 105 and a touch down on a sick catch. I didn't know it was nine 20 Miles an hour. What this is great. We need Relish in this people Tinkdale was the career was over It was like multiple years of rehab For him to 22 months for him to stick with it. I mean, that's just There's what an awesome story so happy for Tinkdale. He was the third highest Targeted player on the week in terms of like percentage of their routes. Puka, CD lamb Tinkdale above Chase, I'm in Ron, Jayson like it's five studs and then Tinkdale's in there It's amazing. It's awesome, which and they've always had a rapport strouting him went back in the day. That was like Exactly, I mean Tinkdale was it. It's hard to remember because it was so long ago, but Tinkdale Looked like he was about to be Not maybe not a breakout elite player, but he was going to be a a household name a mainstay. So yeah, it's awesome As far as bank on it Nine targets is very encouraging. Yeah, that's it. I'm I lean on the don't bank on its side. No disrespect to him I think I think it's gonna get spread around Quite a bit and I think it's weird that like doesn't it feel I know Nico had he had a big game Doesn't it feel like Nico's less? Consistent like moving forward as well. I was going to make a joke when we were talking about strouts numbers of like Oh, so Nico won people a week. I was like wasn't bad. No, but it's it means 15 a score It's like Chase Brown. You give Chase Brown a touchdown And you're like oh those numbers look pretty good. Yeah, it just feels like they have a lot of weapons right now. Yeah, I Want to bank it, but I don't think you can Darren Waller all done. Let me pull it out of the archives What I mean, this was so funny because we were in the studio watching the games Mike and I yesterday in I See Waller like Waller's had like basically gooses If he doesn't get any of the in zone early in the year he's that goose is he goes 10 targets 8 for 90 a touch down and He's barely rostered for context. Oh the the previous three weeks if you add up his total targets It's six. Yeah, I mean, it was it was nonexistent and if you look at the the wide receivers. So Jalen Coker What was he for for 29 and Teterola Mcmillan was say by a touchdown? I'm guessing this was just this was the game plan that they found that was going to work The the most that they could possibly work against Denver. So no, I'm not going to Bank on it. He'll be I mean, well, I'm sure we'll have to talk about him even the way Related so thank you, but I'm not gonna bank on it. I I don't even know what Carolina is I haven't seen a team vacillate between looking incompetent and very good as much as Carolina this year They are they're weird. Yeah, they are so I'm gonna go don't bank on it That was bank on it smartly presented by us bank us bank smartly checking and savings accounts are designed to work together So they can reward you more sign up today at us bank dot com slash smartly official bank sponsor the NFL member FDIC copyright 2026 us bank will take a break. We'll talk news. We'll see if we have any new information breaking right now News and notes from around the league Well This was just crazy because it came through on Saturday, Kendra Miller was just released There used to be a Dennis Allen hates Kendra Miller line out there. I saw maybe everyone does. I saw some some funny Dennis Allen related sweets Did you yeah, yeah, like maybe you had had something? Kendra Miller was released Donaldson wasn't available. They signed estimate off the street and then estimate gets a ton of work 15 for 72 and he looked fine He looked and they won. I mean it's crazy All right, we got the the pattern behind It was an elbow strain. Oh my gosh, I had totally forgot about this. I patched my home season was over for For five seconds. Yeah He went to it was the classic. He goes to throw the the ed rusher manages to get the arm over Where the throwing arm is about to go and this one just looked like it got wrenched real real hard and My homes, I mean, like it was arm full dangle the face was a man You don't want to go full dangle. No, no, never go full dangle. No, no, no, no, I heard him thumbs down. I heard him talk For a dangle. We I heard my home's talking about it and He was Baked like I think he got real freaked out. He's he brought up his his knee injuries like yeah, when I had no the knee I At first, I thought I was totally fine. You know, I was like oh, I can walk this off and then it was a seasoned ender So I think that kind of flashbacked into his brain of like oh, no, that I just tear up my elbow But he was able to grip and rip and so he seemed okay. We will We'll double check everything not us. They will double check everything. Yeah, and make sure it's okay But it was that felt like a really close call Drew Locke suffered an oblique injury in the cardinal game His status is up in the air. So is Sam Darnel's for week 10. They handled the carols. It's Joey Milt. Well, let's go. Yeah, there was a See what he can do. Yeah. Yeah, it'll be Jalen Milro. Oh, yeah, I said you said Joey said, I yeah, Jalen Milro people belief I believe I think he's a good player Malik Willis has been dealing with a groin strain for two weeks did not return to the game Remondor Stevenson left with the knee injury after he had a pretty good touchdown which will cambo left as well But the report on him was that he would have been able to come back in if they weren't getting throttled Josh Jacobs fractured his finger on the right hand team hopes to be able to have him play through the injury. They're gathering more info Pukin Akua injured his knee on the final offensive snap of the game He's gonna have an MRI today. There was a good clip Where you could watch him leaving the field. Did you see this? I did not So he had a brace on the knee and he was limping heavily, okay, and you can see that you can see the clip I'm sure the guys will post it for you in the chat, but it was so that was like juxtaposed with his post game interview, which was all smiles. Yeah, I did see and not talking about the knee. So hopefully he's okay Jalen Waddle left with the concussion did not come back Luther burden. Oh man concussion. Yeah, Luther burden Was put to sleep. Yeah, it was a that was a rough one. That was the fumble, right? Yeah, and then you had can you fumble if you're asleep Yep, okay. Yeah, I wasn't sure if there was a it's totally yeah, Xavier worthy left with a hamstring injury Again, they have hamstring problems. They are going to trade for a wide receiver Today or tomorrow. That's my that's don't hey, that was another part of the cults. Oh, yeah, Josh damn We're like hey, we're gonna trade Josh dance, but we're gonna keep playing and we're gonna show him on Yeah, they showed you should have shut him down. Yeah, he dropped everything and looked like your price may have gone down Gross This one. I can't even start. I wasn't I'm not even gonna say it the the lab muconkey What just going on this year. Well, no, there's ever been this one's even worse though. There's ever been a curse upon a player I mean my Halloween costume came true with this guy. I mean, I can't even comprehend So the way we wash games in the studio is we have one big screen that has the red zone And that's the audio that plays because we want to make sure we don't miss a score But then you have all the games going in real time on the side So you're just your brain is melting you're jumping from place and we have eight different screens and then the red zone screen So I didn't care Like the full reports on what was going on with lad until after the day because I don't have lad muconkey anywhere And then people I was getting tweaked so like you guys and he was 67% start like you guys need to talk about it. So lad muconkey Was active and then in pregame warm-ups he started having back spasms and nothing got reported And it was like we just if you had lad muconkey you just got host 100% host and it sucks when something like that happens a complete goose because he couldn't play back spasms to go with how many things yeah Have we had With lad so far this year. I mean it has been non-stop this team has been first I'm sorry need to feel terrible Harbaugh looks like a broken man They went 37 37 Drives without a touchdown In the NFL every everything there is broken just in Herbert is Not close to what we thought of him Ah, man, it's just it is an absolute disaster. Yeah It's nuts did uh, so let's see Hampton because there was the reports hey we're gonna focus more And we're gonna give one of the more work. Yeah, he had more work. He did he had 13 carries ran You know what the head the 32 yard run But have you ever have you ever no targets eight weeks into the season they're oh and eight. We said at oh and two they were doomed showed their schedule Turns out they were doomed. Have you ever had a team where there's no highlights? Can you think of a highlight this year a single highlight? Further chargers. Oh, yes, I can I thought of one the command of a dal run down the sideline. Oh, yeah, yeah There's your highlight. I mean there's lots of highlights that involve just in Herbert Yeah, he's strong he's strong he's strong for touchdown, but he's not there in the shot Where we have report Justin Herbert injured the middle finger on his left hand in sundays loss About he was removed early the game was over he should be fine, but by fine. I mean not fine We find we mean what he has been oh my Cooper aggravated his ankle injury Which he heard in week one which sucks because oh my Cooper's gonna miss time and then Jake Ferguson Cowboys played in had a boss touchdown Bad knee injury test today. Yeah, I think he's in trouble. He could be cooked There you go any any trades happen in the last no because any trades in our league of record mic That I have not seen okay just checking with you in particular and whether any trades have happened I have not made any trades the giants of regarding JJ McCarthy who we didn't put him in the news because he He came back, but he took a shot to his midsection He looked like it took a shot from an arrow on the sideline and tried to try to throw to be like I'm gonna go back in like Caleb Williams Was like nice and he crumpled yeah, but then McCarthy came back in but he was giant seemed pretty optimistic right now about JJ McCarthy and his hip Okay, we're moving on This week's fantasy stud muffins All right, we did just get news that to Sean Watson will be back in as the starter and we 10 for the Browns Which that game was fun. That was exciting Harold Fanon's touchdown the two point conversion I was feeling bad for the Saints because if they lost that one They had already lost that other game where they had the two point attempt on their side that failed so that would have been rough But they they it even now Okay, studs of the week Jordan love. I mean Al Borland just has to be a salve for you when you when you had Lamar Jackson go out for the season and then the guy you still kept on your team is the quarterback one Yes, sir on your own football team the packers who's great. I mean how were the right good ball? How were the refs this week for you? I mean they did a great job. Okay. I thought so and notice I noticed that they did a great correlated to our win Yeah, no, I mean it was Do you see Jordan loving his wife dressed up as blind refs for Halloween? I did see that yes Have you ever seen the refs be bad in a game you've won? No, yeah, I couldn't happen. No, just make sure Jordan love was number one on the week. It's been amazing. He his deep ball and the weapons he has I mean Is Matthew golden the best pick in fantasy probably based on draft positioning. I mean probably listen I'm gonna tell you a secret. Okay, I traded Jaden Reed And got Matthew golden in dynasty. Yeah before this year before this course that because that before this that's where the market was very happy about it I'm very very happy Love Stroud burrow who continues to be magma. We will say Jordan love plays Minnesota next week. So that Temperate is gonna be interesting. Yeah, I mean, we'll see what Josh Allen does against them tonight But yeah, um, Jordan loves Stroud burrow party should do or was the fifth highest score Thanks Harold fan and an extra quarter That's crazy Joe burrow is It is nuclear I he has uh, I think he's now the odds on favorite for MVP He he didn't throw For four touchdowns, but he did score four touchdowns. So that makes isn't that the second week in a row. He's had a rushing touchdown It is yeah, he's on fire talking quarterback in six straight games. You know his his pace Um, I etched I had uh, you know, I was just showing off the Kyle because my bold prediction at the beginning of the year was that burrow was gonna Do this break all the record. Yeah, well, I mean he's not but is like right now he's on pace for 49 passing touchdowns and over five thousand Thousand yards. Is there any world where he's just run into hot right now like you would you look at the situation for Cincinnati I don't think it's a state healthy. Chase is state healthy. I mean, yeah, the health definitely improves things but they I mean they feel like they're clicking like this what we finally got say the the first half You know like the the Jamar chase touchdown the 40 are touchdown Which if it been a while since we'd seen something like that it happened the first half where It just hasn't been that way through the bangles. I don't know I'm the the vibes on Cincinnati are very high right now They're on a four game winning streak scoring 10 bazillion points a week. So it's it's been It's been fun to watch fun to see like burrows playing the prophecies come true. Oh awesome Let's talk running backs Ken Walker welcome back to the top. Yeah, hey We told you we'd be back. Ken Walker 34 and a half points. Oh, Bucky Irving again He's what this is crazy. Bucky's looking so he's got him in League of record. I hate you. Um, thank you you shit You're you're your hatred is for the wrong man. I hate I hate Jason. Thank you. It's my soul with joy We had Jason is like I'm playing for next year and it was like lucky Irving like I'm gonna make next year worse He regrets it. Yeah, I'm mostly cuz Bucky's gone 30 points 23 21 26 I mean they made it a game last night Bucky is Like the goal line stuff is gone. Like Bucky's just down. That makes all the difference in the world Be John McCraffrey and Javante Williams Javante Williams just Keeps getting 20 carries keeps scoring a touchdown a week. Now the cowboys are oh my gosh I thought they were gonna lose for every like all the positive stuff. I said about how the bangles offense looks The cowboys is Weird it is like we have watched something is it tack ended up with a with a fine game and a fine game for fantasy football was You know what's a one foot or whatever it CD lamb almost had a second touchdown Yeah, he like we were very close to DAC have a good awesome awesome game, but even just watching him he looks like he's panicking Early in the pocket real real early where he's touched on past the lamb the first one was not a great throw no It was a broken coverage and a short throw that lamb scored on yeah, and he just he doesn't seem like the cool Collective DAC in the pocket right now. Yeah, it's just weird and we we want to see that now they're four and five They got the win. Yeah, they're very securely in second place right there. That win was very important. Oh my gosh for For Dallas and there's like he's staying in the division. Yeah keep like Which is important for fantasy like people need to know this Like when I watch games and I see records and standings for like like last year with burrow and the and the Bangles and their attempt to try to run to the playoffs at the end of the year you want teams that are in the mix You don't want teams that are making You know selling it like you don't want Taylor standing in theapolis the Cowboys could have lost to the Colts Yeah, and the Colts if the Colts win that game The way it feels like the the win just changes things real quick for like they're probably like oh Well, we don't need to trade anybody. Yeah, and then Dallas if they lose that game to the Colts I don't know how Lord how loud the George trades get and thankfully the deadline is what tomorrow. Yeah, so we can be done with all this nonsense CD lamb was the number one overall wider receiver on the week to slide all that stuff pukin a kooa number two Matthew golden and Christian Watson go Lee man just machines and Then K. Sean booty. Welcome to the top five. Yeah, that's fine. Enjoy it. You know who leaves the NFL in targets Please CD Lane. Oh, yeah, yeah, JS ends at two McBride at three. I think McBride was still number one in receptions But maybe not after this week pukin a kooa had 19 targets That's a lot. That seems like a lot. That sounds like a foundation little rebuild player Matthew golden and Watson. We've talked about an awesome. They are right now wide receiver three and five. That's insane That's that's insane. You've had the years with Tyrie can waddle Jefferson Thielin or digs and Thielin rather you've had these years where two guys are really high up there I've never seen three in five. I mean Higgins and Chase could do that if it feels I guess it feels very Like they're outkicking it, but maybe this is just who they are and Jacob's is hurt and fat. We have Yeah, did you take it? Did you find that offensive? Oh, that wasn't very nice. It's a descriptor By the way, let me say something. Oh, okay, we might not be in agreement on that fact But I will say this to those out there who thought I got dunked on With the word agreeance oh my gosh go try to type agreeance into your iPhone Go try to see if that's allowed or if a red line shows up underneath it or auto correct correct to a word like agreeable or agreement So that is all that red line just means you're more sophisticated Is that what that means? It's a badge of honor. Wow. I'm way smarter than my phone Yeah, you never would have I see it all the time miscellany into your phone, but that doesn't have a red line auto corrected Mussolini no Two thumbs down. Yes, two thumbs way way down for Mussolini to be clear. We're gonna keep it safe space here safe space Luther Burton There's nine targets seven for ninety seven and two. It's down. He is So good. He's electric. He is so good at football that he doesn't need more than 60% of the snaps. Well, they have a buy So he can get healthy. Yeah, that's it. I mean, if you ever want to have a time for a buy it's after a concussion That is legitimate good news but his His usage is I I don't get you, but they're they're winning. Yeah, I mean I can't tell Ben Johnson. He's dumb, but it's just it's bizarre to have a player who whenever he's on the field you know he's getting the ball It's like when you have a tell at the running back, you know where you're like, okay, this is we never run when we have this guy in Like well in Luther Burton go in the game. I know where they're gonna throw the ball to Luther Burton Yeah, you can't stop you can see it from the puket targets. I watched the NFL and there are these Like you say to yourself. Well, well, can't they just stop it? But then you watch yeah, go watch all 22 It's a wide field. Yes, you can't like you have to line you only have so many players What are you gonna do not have any safeties and double them at the line of scrimmage when you have a smart Play designers and they can scheme things open. It's more. I think of If you have Luther Burton This I this is probably who he is at least for this year, but man There's a world where it gets better for Luther Burton Which is wild. Well, we'll we'll talk more about that team shortly conception on after seemingly going out hurt had a monstrous touchdown Which if you listen to the audio of that what happened on that play he made a call To break his route off and get open really. Yeah, it was not designed that way He saw the coverage he adjusted. He scored and that was another big week for him Waller we talked about extensively number one at the tight end position Brock Bowers the unbeatable Brock Bowers Unstoppable if you look at his yards per game. It's 96 yards. The next highest tightening is 65 Jason before the season and I don't like given mr. but hair credit right Um, he's gonna be smooth. I guess he will be smooth now. Yeah Which is what he's doing this past week, right? He said he had Bowers in a tear above McBride. Yeah, I sounded crazy after McBride season, but now Now you have Gardner Menshu now. This was a week against Seattle You can kind of say McBride, you know Not high expectations, but Um There you go. AJ Barnars scored twice this week It's got a fun celebration. Yeah, as they likely got back into the end zone Harold Fanon scored John Johnson back into the end zone. Yep. We'll take a break. We'll talk duds Hooped in his big boy pants I'm not saying if you tag Jason with a hashtag about hair that it would be a good idea But I'm not saying it's a bad one Just saying that this guy. Let me I mean this is the last day he's missing Jason has come so we have a company slack channel that is alive alive This is a live production channel Three producers Kyle whose off camera but at home the three of us It's a place that we can interact on the show live The magic doesn't just happen. No, this is a way that we can communicate This is about important stuff right now. You'll be like hey, you add break coming up or hey breaking news Yeah, or don't go to the dooster camera. I gotta take a whiz um stuff like that happens in the channel And then for the last week once the once a show Jason pops into the channel and shares a gift or an image that is unconscionable So if you litter his twitter litter his twitter with hashtag But here and no context tag him I like this plane. Yeah, tag him. Yeah. Work hashtag black hair into a sentence of any kind with no context but make up a sentence. You can say anything you want the other day I was making coffee hashtag but here I don't care. But litter his Twitter for what he's done to West over the last week. We've had to kick him out of that production channel. We kick him out during the show. Then later in the day we put him back in and we say you be good. Okay, you're out of time out. And the next time I get in there unconscionable, unconscionable images trying to throw us off our game might we cannot be thrown off. No. And he is our dud of the week. Jason Moore. I mean thrown off of their game though. Yes, here we go. Nice way. Goff his game. Switch. Don't you dare. Don't you dare. Let's go on for the crickets. Teard golf. What? This is the first time that you have no touchdowns. No passing touchdowns in 30 games. That was the longest streak in the NFL and the dolphins stopped it. 170 yards no touchdowns. That was not what you expected. You thought golf would have a great week. That's crazy. He was too outside. Hmm. Too outside like in the elements. Yeah. In Miami. Malik Willis, awful. You know, he was I think a stream of the week. Yeah. I thought both quarterbacks in this game were terrible. I really thought Malik Willis would give you something. Um, and I mean, look, I he was in my prize picks and he cost me. Yeah. Yeah. And then Caleb through four picks. Yeah. Yes, he did. I didn't even realize it was four. So that wasn't great. And then Stafford Stafford was not awesome. One touchdown. One pick. Chase Brown is in the duds. Mike nine for 57. So the opportunities were low. He's the RB 20. I wouldn't say it was a full on. I wouldn't call it. It's not a ruinous dud. A guy in the top 24 would not call it dud. I mean, okay. No, I think it's more maybe it's just a moment. Two running backs. If everyone plays one, then he was still one of the better options so far. Yeah. I mean, he's just done nothing to. I look. I'm not going to defend. It's no backyard. That's what I'm saying. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. John the Taylor 13 for 46. We don't want to bring him up for too long. He did fumble. It was hilarious because every time this game was going on, Mike was like seven McGowan was number 20. And a zero looks a lot like an eight from a distance. And Taylor wears 28. And and so Mike's just like, come on. Multiple times in the game. He thought Seth McGowan was Taylor for a moment. No, the touchdown. I had looked down. I look up. And I see the the Colts running in. I'm like, oh, that was a pretty good run. Like heck yeah. All right. Taylor touchdown. Thank goodness. He was your price picks as well. Yeah. And he didn't hit, right? Correct. Because you saw a guy running down the sideline. You're like, Taylor's on for the races. It was McGowan. Yeah. And then you, you know, then you have a moment where we're like, that is him. We're like, that is Jonathan Taylor. Here we go. He got the ball and fumbled instantaneously. Oh, yeah, because he ran into the. Yeah. He just ran forward and fumbled. And it was just like the most knife twisting moment for Mike ever. And for Taylor, like, uh, let's have a conversation. Ashton Gentie. Oh, crashed in gentie. Six for 25. Oh boy. He bears a little too much of a resemblance to Trent Richardson at the moment. The numbers, the numbers. I mean, if you want to hear the most baffling stat about Ashton Gentie this week, no, over the, oh, because I thought you were going to get into the five for negative five in the receiver. That's where I was going to go. Okay. Sorry. I don't think I've ever seen someone catch five passes and you net negative five yards. Kyle, yeah, Kyle's going to look it up if we've ever seen that. That is, I don't know how Kyle looks that up. He's got his ways. Yeah. Don't, don't worry about it. We don't want to get involved in this negative five. So he averaged negative one per catch. Uh, not great. Yeah. Kyle doesn't even use AI. No, I think he may have hired. He's an old school. He hired a runner. You wouldn't believe this. But he archives. And they, uh, if you were like, well, man, then maybe Mike Washington, no, Mike Washington had six carries for negative three yards. He's the only guy over the last decade to go five for a negative five. That's cool. Yeah. Yeah. I like Mike Washington. No, you know, allow me at a return. There you go. Um, Kyron, five for 45 did not get the touchdown. Blake, Horim did. Yeah. Horim has been better over the last five weeks now. Arizona's next week. And then you had a bunch of running backs. You kind of bottomed out on the ground and did not get receiving work. Swift, Judkins, Ollie Gordon, Derek Henry, people have had the conversation. Is Henry? Do we need it? Is his RB one days? Are they over? I do think we, uh, feels that way. I do think we are coming up to it. Cause it's like young Derek Henry up against these odds. Overcome still finds a way to get it. It feels a little different, doesn't it? It does. But what's weird is that this team might like, it's still crazy. Long eyes that they win this division or make the playoffs. Yeah. They're going for it. I mean, we will find out. Cause it's Jacobi percent will now be the quarterback. Thank goodness. Uh, I think that is a much better situation and the, the schedule, chargers, Carolina Houston. Like we're, we're lined up here for Jacobi to make some noise with the Ravens. And last I heard about Lamar is they haven't done the surgery yet. So I think he wants to come back. The Ravens are making an attempt here with Jacobi to stay afloat long enough. I was like six weeks is the short. I think that's the shorter term for Lamar's injury. But they're hoping they can stay in the playoffs and get Lamar back. So which that's great news for for fantasy football. Like that's the goal. It's not just go out there and make it through the game. So yeah, happy about it. But like the judgekins. Goodness gracious. How, how are you matched up against the worst run defense in the NFL? And it's a competitive game the whole time and you're 15 for 43. That one. No, he almost scored a couple times. He had a couple opportunities for a breakaway run in a, in an in zone opportunity. But yeah, it's, he's not somebody you can rely on. I mean, the the swift one's shocking, but, but he's against Tampa Bay. Junkins against the Saints really, really baffled me. Yeah. And it's concerning moving forward. Malik neighbors, five for 43. That was not good. Not a great passing game for the Giants, which against Philadelphia had kind of worked out for people. It didn't this game for him. James and Williams, one for 31, a return to earthy. Yeah. He cost me. I had, I had his more on 52 and a half yards. Lad McConkey. We talked about it. You can't call that a dud. I mean, his reason is a dud. You can't. It's the ultimate dud because people played, yeah, 57%. And he didn't take a snap rose. Yeah. Jalen coca rachi rice and mecca a buka. What's that? What is a buka? What is it? What is a buka going into the buys? That right? Yes, that is correct. Man, I thought they were going to steal that game yesterday. They did not steal it. And a buka three for 38. He was coming off the foot injury, but like he's averaging 40 receiving yards of game. And I know Baker was out. And like, this is where we're out with a buka now. The story with a buka is like, well, he was hurt at the end of last year. And then well, Baker missed some time. And then while he doesn't, you know, his foot's hurting. And like, how many you're at a season now? You're at a season's worth of games. Well, yeah, but I mean, the first half of his first season was a season of bad season of bad. Yeah, I think I don't know. I don't know that I've given up on him yet because the circumstances have, they just keep being weird. But we will run out of excuses. Keenan Allen, four for 26. It seemed like he had a lot of targets. They were eight of them, but not a big game in business also sucks. Keenan Allen, fifth all time in receptions at the wide receiver position. Yeah. So not a good week. And then the tight ends La Porta. He's had a slow run here. Last three games, a total of eight for 83. Tyler Warren. You know, it's hard to have a a cults player that you have confidence in right now. Agreed. So nothing, nothing good there. Anybody else you want to talk about any trades that are going on? Any trades and legal record, Mike? Let me go look. Let me go record. Did you like me just tell us what you offered, Amanda? No, no. Remind me by the way in a week to talk to you about something on the show. I've got a reminder. So like next Tuesday. Okay. Next Tuesday. Let's open the show up. Okay. The listeners can just look forward to this. I'm going to keep them in suspense. Next Tuesday. Show gets going. I want you to break in. And I want you to say just remind me we have something to chat about. Okay. You got it. All right. I appreciate it. We're going to say goodbye, Mike, unless you have anything else you want to add? I like that you tried to sneak an extra thing into that offer. Did I? Yeah, you did. Are you talking about the back of the head? What do you see? The first offer. I was like, I don't know about that. And you're like, well, what if it's worse for you? Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers Podcast.
