The fantasy footballer studio is sponsored by Walmart. Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright.

00:00:20

Welcome in.

00:00:30

Friday, October 10th, The Fantasy Footballers podcast.

00:00:41

Jason Moore, Mike Wright, Andy Holloway. Welcome in one and all. Lots to get to today. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for subscribing and following the show. Thank you for watching the show over on YouTube. We We got a scat trick last night.

00:01:02

Scataboo, Yackershoo. He is my favorite player.

00:01:08

What's the thing in Harry Potter when you have a-My Patronus? He's your Patronus. Not Horcrux. Your Patronus, not Horocrux, your Patronus is Cam Skatebu.

00:01:17

You would see the- I cast the spell. He comes out and just starts running into walls.

00:01:23

We're from Arizona. We all watched him play at Arizona State. 104 players were drafted ahead of Cam Skatebu in this draft. I'm not saying he's Barry Sanders. We're not saying he's the next greatest thing in the entire Earth. But it's a tragedy that 104 players went ahead of him because of how productive he was at the college level.

00:01:48

1,700 rushing yards on the ground and 600 receiving yards through the air. Those are numbers that only Christian McCaffery type of collegiate performances have ever done He did it, and then everyone's like, No, we're good.

00:02:03

If you followed the dynasty pod at all over this offseason, it was... For me, I loved Trevo Henderson the whole time. I wasn't as hot and bothered by Hampton as other people, but it was like, Skatebu, I'm putting him at three in my Running Man rankings until the NFL tells me-I'm not allowed to. They don't want Camp Skatebu. And then the NFL did, and I was like, Oh, man. Fourth round? Mm-hmm. Tracey's like, How?

00:02:34

Behind Bayeshaal Tudin?

00:02:37

It felt like such a... It was so deflating that the NFL... The NFL gets things wrong, obviously, But when it comes to runningbacks, it's the opportunity that when you're a day three guy, the NFL could be so wrong about you. But because they've drafted you there, they have other guys in their plans who are ahead of you, and things have to break right. And the Tracy injury came at just the right time for Camp Skatebu.

00:03:08

Yeah, there's a lot that we could talk about with that situation. I'll start by praising Jason for not only being completely in on Skatebu this week, again, the Philadelphia matchup on Thursday night, but you persuaded me on the show-Nice. To be in on Skatebu because you had walked through the storyline of the opportunities and how massive they are. Then we got where Jalen Carter was not not going to play. And Tyrone Tracy got a few snaps. But it's a heart and soul thing for this team. It's changed the entire landscape of the way their team- Jackson Dart is a huge part of the equation, too.

00:03:41

He's great. If Russell Wilson is the quarterback of the Giants, I do not believe that Cam Skatebu is putting up numbers- Because he's not near the goal line. Exactly. The offense is so much worse when Russ is playing. So it was the unknown, is Jackson Dart going to be good in the NFL? It looked like it in preseason. And so far, through three games, we've had two electric performances.

00:04:03

There's no impressive. There's no Malik. There's no Malik name. Yeah, he doesn't have his number one wide receiver.

00:04:07

Darius Slatein. They were-Lill Jordan Humphrey. They were hyped up on the Cran Eater himself. Kam Skatebu is now like... Yes, I forgot about it. He is now such a part of the personality of the hope of the city.

00:04:26

Him and Jackson Dard are- Yeah, both of them.

00:04:28

They have transformed how How are- The country feels about the Giants.

00:04:32

T hyro Tracey is no longer allowed to eat into Cam Skatebu's workload in a massive way. Now, not to say that they won't get him more involved than his first came back, but it's done. Skatebu is their leading guy, and then they'll spell him when they need to with whoever else.

00:04:50

He is the human equivalent of a smelling salt for the team.

00:04:54

What a psychopath.

00:04:57

Yeah, in the best way.

00:04:58

In the best way. The quotes I was spending last night on Twitter. Physicality. Yes. The quotes from his teammates, they all are... They're not bashing him, but they are confused by him, and they love him. But it's like every single one just said, he's so loud.

00:05:17

Did you see- He's an idiot.

00:05:19

Yeah, he's an idiot.

00:05:20

Have you ever seen the famous clip when they're following Arizona State onto the field and they're walking through this hallway? And all the players are... It's just a normal walk onto the field, and you walk directly by a man who is just hitting his head against the wall over and over again. I have seen that. It's just Cam Skatebu prepping for the game. It's like a little pre-CTE going on. Goodness. It was wild.

00:05:43

You can't give CTE to CTE.

00:05:46

No, you can't.

00:05:47

He is the human incarnation.

00:05:50

But look, that's what they said, the C in CTE is Cam Skatebu.

00:05:53

He can no longer fail concussion test because his-Permanent. Baseline is way past fail.

00:06:00

It's compared basically... Look, I told you- When he's concussed, he's like a math genius.

00:06:06

They're like, Whoa, you got to sit him down. Cam, dude, you're talking about physics? What are we doing here, man?

00:06:12

Dude, you got to sit down. No more square roots. Have another cram.

00:06:15

Question, are you willing to eat this? No.

00:06:21

He must be concussed. I feel like we could rip on this all day. The truth is, this is the game on Wednesday. I'm like, I'd really love to make this my almost upset, but I can't do it. There's no way it's going to happen. This is why the NFL is better than every other sport. It really is. You should not have been able to double up the Eagles without Malik neighbors, and you At halftime, I was like, No problem.

00:06:47

You still want to make that bet on the Eagles. You know they'll come back. The problem is the second half eagles's offense has been... It's the worst one in the entire league right now. On A number of metrics, they are the worst. And what's crazy is last year, they were pretty good. This system that we have seen in place, like they've been winning with their great run game, their great offensive line, and their great defense. If those things aren't gelling, they had one of their guards out, and obviously, Carter was out. If they don't have this great run game and they don't have this great defense, all of a sudden, you have an offense that looks uncreative.

00:07:29

I I don't blame play calling on this one. This game was lost on a couple of bad decisions and bad plays by Jalen Hertz. You can't miss that play to Devante Smith down the sideline.

00:07:40

That was a free 90-yard touch down.

00:07:43

Look, I made the Lousy, I guarantee that proved to be wrong. I think A. J. Brown was 6 for 80 in this game. He had opportunities around the goal line. But the pass to the left that got picked off, that basically ended the game. I mean, you get three there. The game is a one-score game. In-breaking route with nobody is A. J. Brown. A. J. Brown is wide open in the middle of the field. Jalen Hertz just objectively played poorly in this game. Saquon has not been able to get the running game going at all throughout the year. It was wild because this is the sixth game in the career of Kam Skatebu. It's a three-touchdown game for Skatebu if you missed it. Saquon has never had one. What? 96 games played in his career. He's never had three rushing touch downs in a game. Kam Skatebu has had three in his sixth game.

00:08:27

So we just did. Wednesday's show was we did a redraft. First two rounds of fantasy, a rest of season check-in. I took Barkley at 6: 00, I think. My reasoning was, I feel like the Eagles are safe. They're stable. Their defense is going to be great. That's just one game after that. But when it's the Giants and you're 12 for 58- What's with A.

00:08:52

J. Brown? Jalen Hertz and Saquon Barkley both said that they met with A. J. Brown this week and that the offense met together. Everybody said they met together, and A. J. Brown was like, No, we didn't meet.

00:09:02

Well, it was weird because you walked in and everybody else confirmed that it happened. Yeah, the interviewers are trying to ask whether or not he's just being coy about it, and he wasn't. He's like, I don't remember that.

00:09:14

He's like, I don't remember that. He was smirking, and he's just like, I don't recall.

00:09:18

He's like, You got to ask them. I don't recall. I don't remember that.

00:09:21

It's all cute and funny and eye-rolly when you're 4-0. It's not as much when you're 4-2 and you've lost two in a row. Philadelphia normally gets things figured out. They have a good head coach in structure.

00:09:31

But right now- How do you feel about Saquon Barkley rest of the season? That's where I was going to lead. Because Saquon Barkley could have and would have set the all-time rushing record last year if he played in his final game. He was over 2,000 yards. He was awesome. Right now, we're five weeks in. He is on pace. Well, let me ask you this. Do you think he's on pace for 1,000 yards?

00:09:50

Yes.

00:09:51

He's not. No. He's on pace right now for 920 yards on the season.

00:09:56

I wouldn't have taken him as high in the in the redraft situation just because it's hard to have that much work. That was the narrative in the offseason. Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley, a lot of work, older backs. Right now, the Eagles just look worn out. Like, did the run block They look like a team that has been doing it for a really, really long time that's running out of gas a little bit.

00:10:21

Well, next week is at Minnesota. You can run on Minnesota, so that will be very interesting. And then they get the Giants immediately at home the following week.

00:10:33

Dallas Godert was awesome. Nine for one, 10 in a touch down. It's the fourth straight week, I think, with a touch down.

00:10:37

Yeah. I will not deny Dallas Godert what he's doing. But when Dallas Goddard, on a team with A. J. Brown and Devante Smith and Dallas Goddard is getting 11 targets compared to nine and five for the other guys.

00:10:51

That's why you lose all that great offense.

00:10:53

That's how you score 17 points.

00:10:55

He played 89% of snaps, 11 targets. He had nine targets last week, and this is the decision maker.

00:11:00

It's not that Goddard was bad.

00:11:01

It was exactly what I was saying all last year about the Dolphins. Jonu Smith, good for you, John. You're doing great things. But your offense is not best when it runs through John O'Smith instead of Tyree Kill. Yeah, and Jalen Waddle. Here, throw to your stud wide receiver who are not just eight yards and under.

00:11:23

Well, Godert matched his season high in touch downs already. He's never had more than five in a season, and he's got five.

00:11:29

He's got five in the last month.

00:11:30

So Wandale ended up 6 for 84 in a countdown in this game, which did not feature Darius Slayton. Little Jordan Humphrey, 4 for 55. Jackson Dart's line was 17 for 195 and 1, and he ran for a countdown, 13 for 58. There's only Three quarterbacks in history who I think, through the first two or three starts, 50 plus yards rushing. It was like Jalen Hertz, Lamar Jackson, Jackson Dart.

00:11:55

He is up there with-I was saying He's balling out, and two seconds later, he was down on the field hurt.

00:12:02

The way he's running, he's going to get hurt.

00:12:06

Yes, he will.

00:12:07

You cannot. And he's going to get fined, in my opinion. Oh, that play. For his sideline helmet first. Lepo wild leap into the opponent's face.

00:12:17

That wasn't the one that I thought.

00:12:19

Oh, no, that's the one he'll get fined for.

00:12:20

No, he should get fined for a different one.

00:12:22

No, the high five, he's not getting fined for. That was awesome. The high five is fine.

00:12:25

That was my favorite play. I rewound it. If you don't know, one of Cam Skatebu's touch downs, he was called Short by the line judge. One of them? Yeah, one of them. He runs in and he's got just one hand up. He's standing with one hand up, calling for basically the fourth down. Jackson Darts over there yelling at him like, What? That He touched down, and then after a minute, he just high fives the guy whose hand is up. That was awesome. I thought you're not allowed to touch refs.

00:12:53

If you give him a cool high five, it doesn't matter.

00:12:55

From time to time, these things slip through.

00:12:58

Yeah, he launched himself into the defender's helmet. And so I will be completely shocked if he doesn't get a fine for that one. All right, we got to move on. It's Friday.

00:13:12

Put Klan Friday.

00:13:14

Sometimes I wonder if the random selector just wants to make it difficult on me reading the names. Every week on Friday, we give $100 away to a supporter at jointhefoot. Com.

00:13:29

I I'm really trying to work out how I would pronounce this.

00:13:32

Oh, I got mine.

00:13:33

You got your-Ticanicus 117.

00:13:37

I was going to go Ticonicus.

00:13:38

Ticonicus 117, it is.

00:13:40

Sounds like a Greek hero. I would go Ticanchus.

00:13:43

Ticanchus. Whoever you are, you've won $100.

00:13:47

Okay.

00:13:47

Thank you for supporting the show, $100fantasychamps. Com, to Ticanicus, the Greek God.

00:13:57

News and notes from Around the League, presented by Progressive Insurance.

00:14:05

All right. Alvin Kamara remained limited on Thursday with the ankle injury. We'll see if he continues to progress or not. Kyler Murray did not practice again.

00:14:14

Kamara was limited. This one is he's not practicing at all. So if he doesn't get out there today, it will be Jacobi Berset, which Marvin Harrison said he'd be cool with that.

00:14:24

Did you say Kyler? You said Kamara. You said Kamara.

00:14:27

I was saying Kamara was limited. Kyler Kyler was completely not at practice whatsoever.

00:14:33

Oh, wait. He's practicing today.

00:14:35

Okay.

00:14:36

By the way, the line was sitting seven and a half during the week, and it hasn't moved from what I had seen. So it looks like he's going to play. Quentin Johnson remained limited Thursday. By the way, you want Kyler to play. I know you just booed.

00:14:50

I know.

00:14:51

That was not really- You would like him to play for Marvin Harrison Jr. Sake and for the offense and McBride. Chuba Hubbard did not practice again on Thursday. It seems all but guaranteed he will miss another week. They are missing. The Panthers, a pretty important offensive lineman, did not practice as well, which could be a problem for the Rico Daule 200-yard repeat, but we'll see what happens.

00:15:15

Wait, are you saying- Maybe not 200. Are you saying Rico is not going to get to 200?

00:15:20

I'll take the less. We're talking 160 to 180. Lamar Jackson did not practice again. Jose flowers limited again. The big news that we saw this morning, Chris Godwin not expected to play for the Bucaneers. We won't have Mike Evans. We probably will not have Bucky Irving. You're talking about just amplifying the Kate Otton opportunity at the tight-end position.

00:15:45

And Big Bo.

00:15:47

And who was that? Emeka Big Bo. Would you play Jowan Johnson or Kate Otton now with Godwin out?

00:15:58

Jowan Johnson? Oh, I was sorry. I heard Jowan Jennings in my head. I was like, I would still go with Jouan.

00:16:08

You would go with Jouan? Jason, he's your start of the week. Would you play Kate Otton or Jouan Johnson?

00:16:12

Oh, man. Kate Otton had 81 He did 4 for 81 last week. He does.

00:16:17

I'm not saying he's a bad play.

00:16:19

Who else is going to catch the ball?

00:16:21

I think they're both fine. I'm going to stick with Jouan Johnson.

00:16:25

What else do we have? We have Jouan Jennings returning to a limited practice. There you go, Mike. Yes, there you go. Brock Purdy did Did not practice again on Thursday. Mc Jones limited. Ricky Pearslaw did not practice again. If you had to bet right now, I think it's going to be Mc Jones again, and it's going to be- I think Jennings will play. I don't know that- That would hurt your Kendrick Bourne.

00:16:43

Yeah, it would.

00:16:46

Xavierworthy did not practice. He was listed on sleeper as doubtful, but I don't think he's officially listed as doubtful. But he did not practice Thursday after a full participation Wednesday. I think he's dealing with swelling issues Xavierworthy feels a little bit like a nervous- He's going to lay off the salt, man. Like a nervous play right now with the week-to-week, how healthy are you argument. So I don't know if Juan Jennings is back out there, does it change your view on Tondjus, by the way?

00:17:16

No, just because he's so beat up.

00:17:19

Tondjus, McBasketball or Kate Otton.

00:17:22

I think your ceiling is better with Tondjus of the fluky two-touchdown game, more likely for him. But floor for Kate Otton is probably higher.

Fantasy Forecast, presented by Prizepicks. Yesterday, we covered the Broncos, Jets, the London game, Cardinals, Colts, Chargers, Dolphins, Patriots, Saints, Browns, Steelers, Cowboys, Panthers, Seahawks, Jags, and the Rams, Ravens game.

00:18:20

So you can scroll back and click on that episode if you want to hear those games broken down. But why would you when you have a chance to get into a one in four-Titan. One in four-Riders. Matchup. Las Vegas minus four and a half over under 41 and a half. Okay, we're going to play this one.

00:18:40

We have to. Schedule says.

00:18:43

If you want to argue that somebody's been worse than Kam Ward this year, the argument's on the other side of the field. Yeah.

00:18:49

Nine interceptions for Gino Smith.

00:18:51

And taking Sacks like crazy.

00:18:53

He looks just washed.

00:18:56

It's mind-blowing. To me, what has happened to Gino.

00:19:02

Yeah. I mean, Gino Smith was a... I mean, his passer rating the last five preceding years, 94, 103, 100, 92, 93, 75 now, which is the second lowest of his entire career, going all the way back to how bad he was in New York.

00:19:17

That's what I mean. You didn't have to agree with me and be like, I think Gino is very good. He's played extremely well in Seattle. You could just be like, Okay, he's fine. To go from that to what we are seeing is a catastrophic fall-off.

00:19:32

The question to me, obviously, he doesn't have Brock Bowers, and maybe he just gets better. This is a five-game sample. In one of those games, well, he was still bad. He threw three touch downs to Trey Tucker in garbage time, but he wasn't great playing in that game. But maybe he turns it around. I mean, if he's going to, this is a great chance to do it. My worry, he's 35 years old. My worry is it's just over. I mean, Peyton Manning, he went from being as great as you could be, first ballot Hall of Famer in the conversation for best quarterback. And then all of a sudden, when it was over, he had nerve damage.

00:20:05

There's no athletic thing that I think is impacting Gino Smith.

00:20:11

It's his processing.

00:20:12

Unless you're saying that he's got a brain deterioration situation.

00:20:17

We all get older and stupider.

00:20:20

But the interceptions are out of control. So this offense is also starting to run more and more through Genti. Tennessee is allowing the third most rushing yards game this year. You always play Genti right now. And then I don't really have the confidence in Jacobi Myers that I thought I was going to have with no Brock Bowers. Michael Mayer will be back. Trey Tucker gets a lot of targets. The offense, like I said, they throw the ball to Genti a lot.

00:20:45

Someone will have fantasy value, but you can't really dart throw, and you don't expect the fantasy value to be an incredible performance. So this is Ashton Genti, which is a great play. I mean, you said it, they're the third worst team against runningbacks. Last year, they were the worst. So this is just what we should expect, is that Genti will be able to run on the Titans. He's a must start. But I don't think I'm playing a single other Rater.

00:21:10

Calvin Ridley had a big week last week. 15. 6 fantasy points without a score. Are you buying back in to Ridley after what he did against the Cardinals?

00:21:20

Not yet.

00:21:21

Okay. And Tony Pollard?

00:21:24

You can still play him. The matchup says it's all right. The work has been there, but a season low of Snaps and percentage of carries, the moment that Tajay Spears was back, not that Spears was getting a ton of work. He played a quarter of the snaps, got four opportunities. I think I'd rather watch and see what's going to happen to really to the running backs, how it's going to shake out.

00:21:51

Michael Carter, you'd play over Tony Pollard then? Every week, Tony Pollard's phrase on the show is, You can play him.

00:21:57

Yeah.

00:21:58

It's never like, you get to. That's what it's been.

00:22:00

Tony Pollard feels like basically you're going to get 10 fantasy points, and there's a place for that. There's a place like, Hey, I'll plug 10 points in on my flex, and you'll be fine. This isn't the scariest matchup against the Raiders. They're going to need him. They're going to use him. So I think he's a flex option.

00:22:16

You can play him.

00:22:17

Yeah, exactly.

00:22:19

Cincinnati and Joe Flacko, two and three. They travel to Lambo. What a nice treat for Joe Flacko. Just get off the plane. Here's the playbook. Figure it out and go to Green Bay.

00:22:31

Get back on a plane.

00:22:32

Yeah. Green Bay is two, one, and one. And the line is Green Bay minus 14.

00:22:40

Now, two weeks ago, we saw Flacko play against Green Bay.

00:22:44

Don't care.

00:22:45

He gave through for 142 yards. Yeah.

00:22:47

Different defense, different offensive line.

00:22:49

And 142 yards. Wow. The over-under is 44. 5, which means that Green Bay has an implied point total. It's got to be the highest on the week. 29. 3?

00:22:58

Seems so.

00:22:59

And Cincinnati He's at 15 points. Joe Flacko, let's just really quickly reprise what we said at the beginning of the week. He's been statuesque and turnover prone so far. It's really going to be hard to expect him to come in here and be productive from a yardage perspective against this pass rush with a brand new offense. I would expect him to try to protect him a little bit in his first game, which means maybe a lot of inefficient opportunities for Chase Brown And Jamar Chase.

00:23:31

I think there's going to be a lot of screens in this game, trying to get the ball out quick and into a playmaker's hand and do something. It does let me have hope for Chase Brown's future, that maybe the screen game work that he will get will be a little bit more efficient, better timed on the passes, better placement on the ball, allowing him to do something.

00:23:54

You like gross questions?

00:23:55

I love them. No. Oh, Mike does.

00:23:57

Mike, if you had to lock in Chase Brown or Ramondre Stevenson into your lineup? For this week? No, for the rest of the season.

00:24:05

Oh, that's unfair.

00:24:07

I told you, it's gross. One team you like a lot, right? New England, you like the direction. Which one would you do? Are they back to back in your rest of season rankings?

00:24:17

In my rest of season rankings, Chase Brown is at one spot ahead of Ramondre Stevenson.

00:24:21

And what spots are those?

00:24:23

32 and 33.

00:24:24

Okay. Well, then maybe the question is irrelevant.

00:24:27

They are back to back in mine. No, what? They are 32 and 33. However, I have Ramondre one spot ahead.

00:24:34

Interesting. So you're going Ramondre. You're a big Ramondre guy.

00:24:39

Yeah, huge, obviously. Ramondre is huge, obviously.

00:24:42

Okay. Jamal Chase, you talked about, are we waiting and watching on Tee Higgins right now? He's been unstartable.

00:24:50

Yeah, I prefer to. Against the packers defense with- You'd play Jacobi Myers, you'd play Matthew Golden, you'd play Romeo Dobbs, those three ahead of him.

00:25:02

I think I'm open to it. This is the matchup you want players. It won't work out for all of them, but you got to get some tickets to this game of 24th against quarterbacks, 30-second against runningbacks, 20th against wide receiver, 30-second against tight ends.

00:25:20

You're saying this is the packer side? Yeah. You'd like a ticket on that side? Yes.

00:25:24

This is where multiple guys for the Green Bay packers will go off this week.

00:25:30

They're implied for 30 points. They might smash that. This is literally the team where you take a shot on anyone. Obviously, Jacobs is in.

00:25:41

Could be good for Golden. Yep, exactly. Got to buy a week. You're coming out of a buy week.

00:25:45

Golden, Dobbs. If you are a big underdog and you've dealt with injuries, just go get Dontavian Wicks off of waivers and be like, I'll throw him out there and see if he can catch a bomb touch.

00:25:56

I mean, Tucker Kraft- You played 77% of snaps before the buy, Dontavian Wicks.

00:26:00

Yeah. So I think Mike's right. These are just lottery tickets against a terrible defense for a team implied for the most points of the week.

00:26:08

Tucker Kraft and Jordan Lover starts of the week for Mike and myself. And one of the top searches on our Start/Sit tool on the website, which go check it out if you have a Start, sit question, thefantasyfootballers. Com, it's Kraft or Waller. Oh, man. Isn't there a weather situation going on a little bit for the Waller game that we need to talk about?

00:26:27

Because that's the- No, The only ones I'm seeing that have some concern, mild rain concern for the Cleveland-Pittsberg game. The big one to notice and pay attention to is Rams at Baltimore. We have current models are projecting a decent amount of rain and then wind, where it would like 15 and gusts to 25 and 30.

00:26:53

That's the bigger issue. Now, we talked about Stafford. He's the start of the week.

00:26:58

You got to pay attention to it.

00:27:00

Yeah, you can pivot. Yeah, you might need to pivot. And Mike on Sunday Live will give you the latest breakdown.

00:27:05

The rain, I don't really care. That's fine. They go on playing the rain. But if you have rain plus gusts up to 25 miles an hour, that's sketchy.

00:27:15

Yeah. Statistically speaking, when wind crosses 15 miles an hour, if it's windy and it's 12 miles an hour, the passing game doesn't usually take a noticeable hit. When it's over 15 miles an hour, you start running the ball more or having the actual statistics that we care about in fantasy football, they start taking a massive hit to the passing.

00:27:36

I'm not going to say you have to pivot right this moment because weather patterns change. I'm seeing sub 15 mile an hour winds on my model over here, but it's close, and it's- Be prepared. Yes, have somebody on the roster.

00:27:49

Even if you don't pick them up now, just look at the- Be prepared. Look at the waivers and say, Okay, I'm going to pivot to this guy if the weather looks awful that morning.

00:27:59

Like pivot to Mac Jones and the 49ers who are four and one traveling to Tampa to take on the Bucaneers. Tampa minus three over under 47. 5. Baker Mayfield, he's been a top 12 quarterback in four of five weeks. It's wild. He's not on the insane shutdown pace of last year. He's been a tremendously great quarterback, but his shutdown pace is 34. I think he was at 40 plus, 41, 42 last year. Forty-one. Forty-one? Yeah. It's nice. He's giving you... Last week was a great one. Obviously, he was the quarterback three on the week. But I don't know, there's still some sealing for him when he gets more weapons back. I don't know if that'll be this week in particular, but it's been a really impressive season. A lot of injuries. No Bucky Irving, no Mike Evans, no Chris Godwin. We've talked a lot about this already. You play Ameca Bukha, and you play him with confidence. I think he is my number four wide receiver on the week.

00:29:05

With a smile in your heart.

00:29:07

Yeah, it's just getting better. When a rookie has tremendous success early, if they're not having success, we come on the show and we say, Well, it takes them a while to get going. Stay patient. That implies you learn more, right? You see opposing defenses. You see things you've never seen. I mean, Jackson Dart, they asked him yesterday, What's the process? He's like, I'm learning every I see defensive coverage as it change every day. The players that are already playing well now, they can continue to learn and get better and learn about that rapport he's building with his quarterback as five games in. It's going to be great for him. Rashaad White, tons of opportunities. He's in your lineup. We talked about Otton. Is there anybody else in this lineup?

00:29:50

From Tampa Bay? Yes. No.

00:29:53

No. And then on the other side- If you want to get super nasty, it'll be Sterling Sheppard, but I am-Super nasty.

00:30:01

It's super nasty.

00:30:02

Yeah, so far on the season, the 49ers have been pretty good against wide receiver. I think, yeah, Rashaud White, Bucky, Igbuka, Otton, that's enough to fill your battle.

00:30:12

I'd be playing Juan Jennings or Kendrick Bourne over someone like Shepard.

00:30:17

Yeah, I would, too. Unfortunately, we might not get a lot from either one if they play together. We have DeMarcus Robinson still out there. Jake Tonjus, they're on the road here. Mac Jones, he is banged He should be their starter. Christian McAfee feels very safe this week.

00:30:33

Oh, man. Every week.

00:30:34

Well, Ton just feels like he's pretty safe in terms of some targets.

00:30:38

For McAfee, the Bucks have allowed the third most receiving yards per game to runningbacks.

00:30:46

It's wild because McAfree- Over and a half receptions for Chris McCathrey. If you told me they were the best team in the league against runningbacks who catch the ball, I would not care.

00:30:55

But this one is just extra tasty.

00:30:58

It is extra tasty. Is Mac Jones a viable streamer? I mean, 27th against quarterbacks. The Buckeyeers have given up a lot of points. It's viable, yeah.

00:31:06

Mac Jones has been good in his starts. It's really tough because you got two top 10 performances out of his three current starts, and the matchup says yes. But I do worry about the Indra. I was watching both these players practice this week, and we still got several days to go, and obviously, Mac Jones. I mean, what a man.

00:31:27

After that game, most quarterbacks would It would have gone on IR. For sure.

00:31:31

But that is my worry here with Mac Jones is simply just like, I've got the injury worry.

00:31:37

I think he could be a... I don't know what the game times are. Let me see. Sunday 4: 25 Eastern. When's the Baltimore game? Do we have that one? When you think about pivot options in a league where a lot of quarterbacks are rostered, maybe he would be one for Stafford. If Stafford's weather was terrible.

00:31:56

Let's see. Where is the...

00:32:00

B-a-l for Baltimore.

00:32:01

Ravens are 1: 00 PM Eastern.

00:32:03

Thank you.

00:32:04

So you'll know the weather there. You could use Mac Jones as a pivot.

00:32:12

Detroit, 4: 1, Sunday Night Football, going to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs. Oh, my.

00:32:17

That is awesome.

00:32:19

The Chiefs are favorite. Two and a half point home favorites in this game. Over and under is 52. 5. Is there a-Oh, yeah.

00:32:29

Hit it.

00:32:30

Hit it. Wait, what do you want me to hit? I was looking for something to talk about the 52. 5 point. I thought you were going to almost upset it. Oh, no. No, I already did that.

00:32:39

Okay.

00:32:39

I was just looking for a boom shakalaka or something. I can't find it. 52. 5 point over and under, though. Boom shakalaka. Yeah, there it is.

00:32:48

I'm surprised we can get a 55 there.

00:32:50

Oh, you mean because Al's yesterday? Yeah. All right, the lions and chiefs. Here we go. Mahomes has been very good for fantasy. The question mark was Xavier worthy, but Taekwan Thornton, Hollywood Brown, Travis Kelsey. Maybe it's better not to say the names he's throwing to and just take the rushing yardage from Patrick Mahomes these days.

00:33:13

Yeah. I mean, Patrick Mahomes is a good start. You know in a high, over, under game where he's going to have to make something happen, he doesn't have the weapons to throw to, it's probably going to be him on the ground that is making up the fantasy value. Taekwan Thornton is a legitimate startable player. We would talk about the Kendrick Bourns or Juan Jennings. I feel like Taekwong Thornton is right there. You've got games with five targets, five targets, and nine targets. If Xavier worthy is out-Yeah, that's the big one. Yeah, and then this is assuming that worthy is not going to play. He might suit up, and then he's more of a dart throw. But if worthy is out, Taekwun Thornton becomes really just a legitimate flex option.

00:33:57

The lions are missing a couple of top cornerbacks, and you always have a shutdown chance. Thornton has been a shutdown or 90 yards and four straight. Amunra, lock him in. Where are you with Jamison Williams in this match?

00:34:13

In the fetal position? Yeah. Weeping?

00:34:17

Crying in a closet. That's a bad thing, right?

00:34:21

Yeah. It's been- Because 52.

00:34:23

5 point over under their road dogs. They're going to have to throw.

00:34:30

If you want him to get a season roll and just bench him. That's about how it feels with Jamison Williams.

00:34:37

Man. Two weeks ago, eight targets.

00:34:39

The ADOT was just so crazy.

00:34:43

It seemed like he could add eight touch downs in that game.

00:34:46

I have none. It's so crazy because I feel fine starting Taekwong Thornton, but scared starting Jamison Williams. Jamison Williams is the better player.

00:34:54

Well, I think that basically I feel the same about them, and that's terrifying for me.

00:34:59

Yeah.

00:35:00

With Jamieson Williams, which is basically you feel like you need a big play from one of those guys. You need a countdown. You're not going to get... Taekwun Thornton is not getting PPR his way to success. So Jamieson feels like the same category for right now. So maybe you take a break if you need it. But the high over under, you like pieces in a game like that. Yes, you do.

00:35:20

You certainly can start Jamieson Williams. Process says that Jamieson Williams is a fine start. It's just difficult emotionally when he has been bad in four or five games.

00:35:31

Gibbs and Monte in your lineup. Sam Laporta, how are we feeling about Laporta body?

00:35:36

Still fine.

00:35:38

Yeah, last week was-There's no reason not to play Laporta right now. Five for 92 in a countdown last week. There's where Jamison Williams' activity went.

00:35:47

Yeah, it's not a very good matchup. That might give you more confidence in Jamison Williams, knowing that Jamison Williams and Sam Laporta, these are these guys that, honestly, if they were needed, If they were like, I have to get this guy the ball seven, eight times a game, they could. I think both would succeed. Sam Laporta is great. They just don't always need him. I think matchups don't always dictate that. This is a matchup where you're still starting Sam Laporta, but it's not somewhere where you're bullish that they're going to really rely on Laporta here. So maybe it does go Jamieson's way.

00:36:22

The Chiefs are number one in the NFL in pass rate over expectation. Mahomes is on pace for 622 pass attempts. The The planes are 31st in pass rate over expectation. Yeah, it sounds like that. Goff is on pace for 493. So almost, what was that? 130 more pass attempts.

00:36:42

Yeah, one of these teams can run the ball exceptionally well, and one of these teams can't run the ball well at all. So it makes sense.

00:36:49

Kareem Hunt is ranked where for you this week?

00:36:52

Man, I can pull it up. I don't know exactly where he is, but I'm not- He's had an attempt last week in two touch- I'm not wanting to start Kareem Hunt and chase the touch downs. I don't really want to start any of the runningbacks for the Chiefs. You can get touch downs and save your day. It's not the end of the world, but I don't expect good volume for any of them.

00:37:14

From Andre over cream hunt?

00:37:15

Absolutely.

00:37:17

Monday Night Football, we have a double header for Mike. They did it for you, Mike.

00:37:21

Hey, thank you. I mean, they're just giving me everything I need. 6: 30 AM games.

00:37:27

We told you that we split screen Jason. Yes. But you have a different- It's wonderful.

00:37:31

I have a different provider.

00:37:33

But you have a phone, right?

00:37:35

Yeah.

00:37:36

So you could split screen it yourself.

00:37:39

One on your phone?

00:37:40

I could. But I'm also- Give it a go, Mike. But I'm also on the use of my phone to be on the Twitter machine and talking to you guys in Slack.

00:37:46

You have a computer? You got an iPad?

00:37:49

You got a laptop?

00:37:51

Somebody? There are ways.

00:37:52

Can you watch it on your watch?

00:37:54

Got a little TV tray.

00:37:55

Got an Apple Vision Pro?

00:37:56

A little laptop on a TV tray next to the TV.

00:37:58

I don't have a TV tray.

00:38:00

You don't have a TV tray?

00:38:02

No. That's the problem, Jason. You still have TV trays? Heck, yeah, man. No, that is a little bit- It's not 1987, man. It's a little strange. You have a TV tray, Jay?

00:38:10

Yeah, I got a four-pack. Is it the fake wood laminate on it, too?

00:38:13

No, it folds up nice. It comes out.

00:38:16

And you use it?

00:38:17

Yeah, if I want to watch TV and eat.

00:38:19

Do you guys go to the Deucer camp? Do we have TV trays back there?

00:38:22

I do not. For your TV dinners?

00:38:24

I'm the oldest, and I don't have one of those. This isn't an old thing.

00:38:28

Yes, it is. It's a little bit of it.

00:38:30

You're popping your dinner in the microwave.

00:38:32

Okay, hold on.

00:38:33

Got a little brownie dessert for you.

00:38:34

If you want to watch TV- Got a Penguin on the box. At your house, I don't know how you guys do this. You want to watch TV and you want to eat dinner, and let's say it's a steak. You got a fork and knife this thing. Okay? So you're steak in your TV tray?

00:38:48

Wow. Heck, yeah.

00:38:50

I said dinner. Anyways, so what are you putting your plate on?

00:38:55

I said the kitchen table. The table.

00:38:57

You can see your TV at your kitchen table?

00:38:59

Yeah, I can see it pretty good. Yeah.

00:39:01

Okay. I guess I got to move my kitchen table to my living room.

00:39:03

Do you ever get the- Weird. Do you have the big kids TV dinners?

00:39:08

That's what I was saying.

00:39:09

With the Salisbury steak. Those are delicious. Those are delicious.

00:39:13

Oh, man.

00:39:14

He makes kid cuisine and also- When I said steak, I meant Sal's Berry steak. Was it like, hungry man?

00:39:19

Oh, yeah. What was that? Dude, I used to- Ultra. I used to love TV dinners.

00:39:24

Man, they had one. You don't anymore?

00:39:25

No, they're so unhealthy. I can't eat that crap. Okay.

00:39:31

I don't know how we ended up shaming somebody for a TV tray. That's really not that big a deal. We were shaming Mike for not having the ability to split screen.

00:39:39

That was judo throw.

00:39:40

You did.

00:39:41

How did I get dunked on?

00:39:42

You distracted the whole thing because Mike He's complaining about not split screen. He's got 40 devices.

00:39:47

I had a great idea with the TV tray.

00:39:51

Buffalo's 4: 1, Monday night double header. They're taking on the Atlanta Falcon. They were 2: 2. Buffalo minus 4: 5 on the road over under 49. 5. Buffalo coming off their first loss of the season. Generally, that's bad news for the opposition. I never want to be in the position where I'm taking on a more focused Josh Allen, but I also would have said the same thing about Philadelphia yesterday, and it didn't happen. So Josh Allen, James Cooke, their locks. Dalton Kincaid, we need to flag this because he is, I believe, is he the tighted one? Well, on the season?

00:40:28

Currently, it is Dallas Gotter.

00:40:30

He's the He's got it. He's got it. Three on the season now. Okay. But Dalton Kincaid has been pretty much an auto start, but he was limited on Thursday with an oblique injury or a noncontact jersey in practice. I have a couple of weeks where I'm platooning the Kincaid Pitz situation, which is on the other side of this game, I'm just going to- That's handy for you. I mean, Darnell Mooney is not practicing. You take a piece out of this offense, I feel a lot safer with Kyle Pitz personally.

00:40:53

Yeah, I got bad news for you, Andy. Do you know who's number one against tight ends? The Bills. You know who's number two against tight The Falcons.

00:41:01

Yeah.

00:41:02

It's not a great matchup. It's just ironic that those are your two tight ends, and you're deciding between those. They've both got the most difficult matchup ahead.

00:41:11

They do. But I'm going to go Kyle Pitz in that one with the oblique injury. If Dalton and Kincaid were to miss, maybe it raises the floor for Shaq here and Keion Coleman. Maybe. In a game where they're implied to... It's 27 points, and the Falcons are the best defense in football against the run. You saw James Cook get slowed down last week. Maybe this is a chance for Keion Coleman or Khalil Shaq here to have a big game. I can see nobody getting on board with that.

00:41:41

Everything you're saying makes sense. If Kincaid is hurt, you're projected for 27 points. You've got a tough run D. Someone should get involved, and Shaqir should have the manufactured touches, so his floor is probably higher. I think the ceiling is higher with Coleman, but I'm not excited about either of those guys. I mean, this is still a team in Buffalo that spreads the ball around. They talk about it on every broadcast, right? It's Everybody Eats. That's their phrase in Buffalo, Everybody Eats. It's no selfishness, no one cares about- With those TV trays.

00:42:12

That's your philosophy, too.

00:42:14

They call that Keaton, that's Keon Coleman showing up to the school pizza party, and that's all he's getting. He's getting that real thin slice.

00:42:22

Everybody eats a little bit.

00:42:24

Over the past four games, he has 114 yards in four weeks. Week one, he was at 1: 12.

00:42:32

Yeah, I'm not saying you should be confident. I'm just saying it's lining up to where somebody might do it.

00:42:38

What you're saying is Josh Allen is going to throw the ball to someone. We just don't know who it is. It's Ben Kincaid. Kincaid is hurt. So you can take your shots on these guys, but I'm really not excited.

00:42:47

Michael Penix, B. John Robinson and Company. What do you have for the Falcon side? Drake London, probably without his running mate, Darnell Mooney. 8 for 1, 10 and 1 before the buy week. We talked about pits. Bijon's a lock. What are you doing with-Drake's a lock, too.

00:43:02

Yeah, Drake is an absolute lock. The targets will be there without Mooney, with Pitz in a tough matchup. I think Draitke London is in, Bijon is in, and then Pitz is playable.

00:43:14

Yeah, I think he is. We'll take a break. We'll talk about the other Monday Night game. All right, before we jump into our final matchup, I do want to encourage you, head over to jointhefoot. Com and get access to all of our premium tools and resources, the lineup optimizer with a spot start tool, which is becoming more valuable with the weather situation.

00:43:37

What that does is it'll take a look at your specific team and your waivers and say, Hey, look, there's someone on waivers that you could put in your starting lineup right now that you might just score more points.

00:43:49

Yeah. And...

00:43:50

Breaking news.

00:43:53

Any time that a major player is now moving to questionable on a Friday, Zack Taylor saying Jamar Chase got sick last night. He's questionable to play against the package.

00:44:06

I have brought this up a few times this year, but it is the team the week after playing the Lions, No. They are destroyed. We saw that happen with the Ravens the week after the lions hurt them. And so now that is the bangles. And so I'm not saying the lions caused him to get sick, but I'm not not saying it.

00:44:31

He doesn't have flackoitis?

00:44:34

Yeah. So that would be not good for... I mean, if Joe Flacko doesn't have Jamar Chase and no offensive line against this packers team, that's just That's what I'm at.

00:44:45

Yeah, just run it three times and punt.

00:44:48

It'll be tough. It'll be tough for Judkins to volume his way there. We're going to count on it, but it's still going to be a tough one. The Chicago Bears at 2: 2 take on the Washington Commanders who are 3: 2. I'm excited for this game. Vegas Line, Washington minus 4. 5. Over-unders, 49. 5. It's an exciting group of fantasy football players in this matchup.

00:45:11

Oh, man, this was the game.

00:45:13

This was the Hale Mary game.

00:45:14

This was the game that ruined everything for the 4-2 bears, and they couldn't ever recover from the Hale Mary. Oh, man.

00:45:23

Yeah, it's Jaden Daniels, who we'd like to see get going. He's only played three games this year. He was injured.

00:45:31

Very disappointing.

00:45:32

You know what I was encouraged about was he still ran for 39 yards last week on his first game back with the knee injury. So I'm at home in this one, a week were removed from the return from the injury. I don't know. I think it'll be a pretty good game for Jaden Daniels in this one. Do you guys disagree?

00:45:51

I agree. I think this being Monday Night Football, primed time, you're going to have these two quarterbacks do whatever they can do I expect big fantasy performances in this game. A popular start-sit question has been, Caleb Williams or Bo Nicks? I'm on the Caleb Williams side, but the same thing with Jaden Daniels. Right now, he's my quarterback three. I expect him a wonderful.

00:46:16

Wow.

00:46:17

Are you confident? Yeah.

00:46:17

I do think it'll be a good week. Now, Debo is going to be his number one guy. Debo is a must-play at this point. He's sitting as the, I believe, wide receiver seven on the season. J'corey Crosky-Merritt, Mike. Your start of the week. Big week for JCM. Big week for Bill.

00:46:35

Bill.

00:46:36

Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill, Bill Crosky, that is.

00:46:41

Oh, I said I'm going to be prepared for Crosky, but he's got to have the game, which he should. Is that what you said? Yeah, Tuesday. Stay tuned. Stay tuned. Stay tuned.

00:46:51

Caleb Williams, DeAndre Swift. Deandre Swift is- Freaking DeAndre Swift, man. He's productive. He just is. Last three games, 12. 4.

00:47:00

He can't keep getting away with it.

00:47:02

He is 2. 5 a carry, 2. 7 a carry, and 3. 1. He is not productive on the ground. In three of their four games.

00:47:09

He's not good. But for fantasy, he's- But for fantasy, he's- 20 opportunities, 17 opportunities. It's been fine. 15 opportunities, 22 opportunities. He's doing exactly what he has always done every single year of his career.

00:47:21

He averages 11 per game. Yes.

00:47:23

Fantasy points. Exactly. The last three years for three different teams, 11. 4, 11. 4, 11. 4. 11. 2, 11. 9 fantasy points. He's going to go out there and score you about 11 fantasy points, which is a place for it.

00:47:36

And Kyle Monunga, their backup, Monunga guy, just keeps getting banged up.

00:47:42

And hasn't done much. I'm Not much with his opportunities either.

00:47:46

It feels like to me every time you think, Hey, Monongai might seem more like, Oh, pops up on the injury report.

00:47:53

Yeah, he might not play.

00:47:55

Because Swift is injuring him.

00:47:58

Yeah, Swift is just He's throwing banana peels, regrettably.

00:48:01

Mario Kart style.

00:48:03

Productive.

00:48:03

He's like, take this turtle shell.

00:48:05

Well, at least they're coming out of the buy. So we'll see if things change in the running back room. I mean, right now we're going to expect it's going to be a lot of Swift, and that's what it is. But when you come out of a buy, those are the opportunities for changes. We'll see if Mononga is healthy enough to start having more of that workload. Maybe Roshan Johnson, for all we know, is like, Hey, you know what we got to do? Is he still there? He is. He is still there. He's not playing a a lot of snaps, but he is technically active.

00:48:33

He is, by the looks of it, playing none of them.

00:48:37

Yeah, but active. Active and not playing.

00:48:39

He's not playing a lot of snaps. I mean, you could say infinity.

00:48:45

That's what he would say to his mom. Yeah.

00:48:48

Not getting a ton of opportunity right now.

00:48:50

Oh, yeah? How much are you getting? Not a ton. Not a ton. Could be more. Show me one of the plays.

00:48:57

Just watch me warming up. I just got a new phone. Just watch this video be warming up.

00:49:01

Could you have less opportunity? Well, not exactly.

00:49:05

Not really, but I've been active. Roma Dunes is a lock, Debo is a lock. But on the other wide receivers, DJ Moore this year, it's been weird.

00:49:14

Oh, man, it's been awful.

00:49:16

It's been basically phase out weird. Four for 38, four for 21, five for 46, three for 68. That's not really startable.

00:49:28

On the dynasty podcast, we were talking long term value. I think Bets brought up, maybe he won't be on the team next year. Yeah, I wonder that, too. Oh, you don't need to wonder it. He will be on the team because-Oh, yeah, the contract?

00:49:41

They can't trade him?

00:49:42

Well, I mean, they could if someone else wants this contract, but they gave him a contract this year. It's a brand new contract.

00:49:51

It was also applauded on this show.

00:49:53

Yeah, 60 million dead cap next year, 35 million dead cap the year after that. So he's not going anywhere, but he sure seems like he's gone someplace.

00:50:02

Yeah, that would be the trait. To me, he could go into an offense and be your number one. It's just wild that they're not using him as one.

00:50:10

For DJ Moore, for fantasy purposes, Rome has been great. Yes. He also has five receiving touch downs. The yardage for Rome, week 1, 37. Week 2, that was the huge 128. Awesome game. 62, and then 69 yards.

00:50:28

Those are fine.

00:50:29

62 But I'm saying DJ Moore, 68, 46, then the 21, 38. So their averages, he's averaging what? 43 yards a game, and Rome is at 74.

00:50:41

Yeah, it's an equivalent of 750 for the year, 1,200 for the year. Yeah. So I mean, DJ is just not a player that you have confidence playing with any outside.

00:50:49

I'm not saying to play more. It's not...

00:50:52

While we talk about...

00:50:53

One big game difference.

00:50:54

Coming out of a buy is where you sometimes see those changes. I don't know that they've Roshan and Mononga, they might not have the ability to make the changes to the backfield. But Luther Burden.

00:51:05

Colson Lovelen, if he plays.

00:51:07

Colson Lovelen. The passing game. And this is going to be a game, obviously, it's primetime. It's Monday night football, it's off of a buy week. I think there's going to be a lot to learn in this game from what the bears look like. It's a perfect litmus test for them. It's a matchup that's like, the other team is going to score. Their defense is good, but it's not unbeatable. So what do you got, bears? I'm really excited to see this game.

00:51:36

Any other players you want to mention?

00:51:38

Just that the longer term, I'm going to keep my eye on Colston Lovaland. The injuries have really derailed things, and he was limited on this Thursday. So the injuries may just completely destroy his rookie year. But there was a plan for him, and we'll give it a couple of weeks, and then we may see what the plan was supposed to be.

00:52:04

One thing to note, just to amplify the Mike start of the week of J. C. C. Krosky-merritt, Washington is number one in football in yards per game rushing. And that's even with missing Jaden Daniels for a couple of weeks. The Bear's defense is 31st in rushing yards alone. So they're averaging 156 rushing yards, and the bears are giving up 164. That is a very, very nice situation at home.

00:52:28

It's a good spot. It's really the... This is the most optimal matchup coming off of the last week breakout to do this and then just... Secure it? Yeah. In front of everyone on the island game.

00:52:43

Well, not a fully island game. It's a It's not like Skatebu last night. Exactly. Skatebu's game last night, you win the game, you score three touch downs, and then you go on the postgame show and you rip your shirt off, and you're like everybody's favorite player for the evening. Same thing can happen for Bill on that night.

00:52:58

I know that he is a strong long NFL player talking about Kam Skatebu, but was anybody else impressed? The sports shirt material, the collars-I feel like you could do it. Nice try. You're tempted a little bit.

00:53:13

I was a little bit tempted.

00:53:15

Andy, you're wrong. He couldn't do it.

00:53:17

Oh, you're right. Okay. We got another segment. Hit one button. Rip off your shirt. But I was very impressed because I think that would be-Hard to do?

00:53:26

Hard to do, yeah. It's not cotton. It was an athletic shirt.

00:53:30

Did you see his back flip? Yeah. I mean, the dude is pretty strong.

00:53:34

I thought you were going to talk about how his size and then Fitzpatrick was like... Oh, yeah. Fitzpatrick was...

00:53:40

That dude was a beast. By the way, fun fact, Skatebo remembers nothing of yesterday. He's no idea what has- He's like a great fish. He woke up without a shirt. He has no idea.

00:53:51

He's memento.

00:53:52

To quote his- He writes it on his arm, I am a running back.

00:53:55

He got to about- Run hard.

00:53:57

Got to 18, and then every day is a new day.

00:54:00

To quote his teammate, guy's an idiot. Physicality.

00:54:05

Chuba is out as an injury update. Jalen Coker, game time decision along with Jetavian Sanders, and then Kyler Murray status will be determined in the next few days, but he is out there practicing.

00:54:16

Jalen Coker and Jetavian Sanders coming back would be excellent for Bryce Young.

00:54:21

Yeah, for Carolina and moving the football? Yeah. All right. Somebody find the lineman situation there, who they're missing, because I think it's one of their better players, but I don't want to misspeak on that. But on the other side, that would hurt Bryce Young a little bit. Sure. Let's jump into the face-off.

00:54:44

Fantasy Face-off, presented by Prizepicks.

00:54:52

Is it even possible to miss any of these?

00:54:55

Dude, I don't.

00:54:56

I haven't missed one in a while, so I'm spinning the wheel.

00:55:00

I'm not spinning the wheel either.

00:55:01

They're four for four week, my friend.

00:55:03

I went three for four, but I still made that schmoney.

00:55:08

Yeah, I had Quentin Johnston and Alvin Kamara. They both missed for me. Weird that they popped up on the injury report.

00:55:15

Actually, that was Jason's miss, too. Darius Slateon left early in his game. But we'll jump into it. But we got to do this.

00:55:23

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:55:27

Wheel of Shame.

00:55:33

Mike Wright's Wheel of Shame.

00:55:37

That's fine. Let's have a good time. We got Starman, Raining Day, the Lizard King.

00:55:46

Oh, man.

00:55:49

I think that might be more of a bearded dragon. That's a lizard, though, right? Yeah. It's got air holes and everything, Mike.

00:55:56

I'm sure I'm going to be able to breathe and see.

00:55:58

Yeah, and your head will totally fit in perfectly.

00:56:00

It looks huge, which could possibly fit you. No, that's perfect, Mike. Actually, this is a good look for you.

00:56:05

Yeah, I like it.

00:56:06

I'm not joking. You look better.

00:56:08

Thank you. It's a little tough to stare at you with that on.

00:56:13

I love it.

00:56:14

You're looking pretty good. And I think you can breathe. So that's a step up from some of our other punishments.

00:56:19

At least for a few minutes.

00:56:21

All right, we're jumping into the lineups. We'll start at the quarterback position. This is my Green Goblin, the easiest one on my slate. I'm going Dak Prescott. I'm going more than one and a half passing touchdowns. That is my Green Goblin against Carolina, which one and a half, that's still a good amount.

00:56:42

Yeah.

00:56:43

Your quarterback?

00:56:44

My quarterback, I'm going with Jordan Love. We have been taking his rushing projection and going more, but I'm actually going passing yards on this one. 239 and a half. I think he has more than that.

00:56:59

All right, Mike.

00:57:00

I don't have a mouthful.

00:57:02

You don't have a mouthful. That's true.

00:57:03

You have to talk through one of the nostrils. There you go.

00:57:05

My quarterback is my green goblin. I'm going... Look, pricepicks is... Hold on. There you go. Because pricepicks is really fun because they offer different ways to play. I'm going, Bryce Young, more than six and a half completions in his first 10 pass attempts.

00:57:23

Okay, so the scripted, you start the game.

00:57:25

Yeah, I think he can hit seven of 10.

00:57:28

Okay, that's fun.

00:57:30

Or more. He could do 10 of 10, and then it would still work, too.

00:57:33

Yeah, no. Thanks, Mike. Go back into your lizard hole.

00:57:36

Back in your lizard head.

00:57:37

I will actually move to the wide receiver position because I also took a different projection than the standards. I'm actually going with Travis Hunter more than 17 and a half yards for his longest reception for Travis Hunter. I think they will get him down the field this week more than 17 and a half Yeah, for at least one play.

00:58:01

I'm going to be honest with you, I don't like that one. I'm just going to be honest. For my wide receiver, my wide receiver is my Green Goblin. It's Jackson Smith and Jigba more than four and a half receptions. It just seems like he's going to have eight, so I'm not too worried about this one.

00:58:20

Okay, Mike, your wide receiver.

00:58:21

Wide receiver. I have a mecca a becbu.

00:58:25

A Mika and Begbu.

00:58:27

I got a mecca buca more than 78. 5 receiving yards.

00:58:32

Okay. Yeah, I like that. My running back, Ramondre Stevenson.

00:58:38

That's right up your alley.

00:58:40

More than 43. 5 rushing yards. Oh, yeah.

00:58:44

That's going to be a sweat.

00:58:47

Your running back, Jason.

00:58:48

My running back, I personally love this one, which means it won't work out. But I have Jalen Warren. His projection is 48 and a half rushing yards. He has not done that once this season. He is coming off of an injury, and he's playing against the Cleveland Brown, so I am taking less than that.

00:59:07

It would have been amazing if you had taken them more after that whole argument.

00:59:10

That's a good line. My running back, I got Ken Walker. Oh, boy. I'm going with a combo, Rush receiving yards, more than 62 and a half.

00:59:20

Okay. Yeah, it's great. This is really fitting what we would do, Ramondre and Ken Bone. My tight end is going to be Darren Waller.

00:59:30

I am the Waller-ess. More than 39.

00:59:39

5 receiving yards.

00:59:42

Really? What a loser. I'm more than 38 and a half. My projection is better than yours. I'm going to say- You have the same one? Darren Waller, baby.

00:59:51

If it's 39 on the- If it's 39 on the dot, I'm a winner, you're a loser. You and I locked in at different times.

00:59:57

I'm going with Andy's tight-end start of the week. I'm taking Tucker Kraft, 47 and a half receiving yards. More, baby.

01:00:04

He's our number one consensus tight end on the week. Because he's a dope. Yeah, get back in your Lidget head. Yeah, I'm here. That was fantasy Face-off presented by Prizepicks.
