Transcript of Starts of the Week + Week 2 Breakdown, Bounce-Backs - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/11

The Fantasy Footballers studio is sponsored by Walmart. Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.

Football time was the point for me to do it.

Oh, yeah. Isn't it football time?

It is.

Oh, yeah. I thought you were gonna jump in.

I was confused.

Oh, football time.

Let's go.

Thursday, September 11th. Welcome into the Fantasy Footballers. We have matchups on today's show, starts of the week, we've got news to talk about. San Francisco can't stay healthy. We almost need a drop specifically for them.

Yeah, I ordered somebody falling down the stairs since I do all those voiceover work. I'm working on a new, you know, 49ers injury a bit. Yeah.

Update.

It'll be coming.

Let me hear a little bit of that voice.

Well, Mike always does like some.

Yeah, I gotta, I gotta do a lot of stuff to it, so.

Install a lot of software.

It's almost like I turn it into another person.

Right? Feels like that.

Yeah. There's a lot going on. We have week two ahead of us and you know, we'll put to bed some of the week one. I guess I would say like our expectations for some of these players, they might change and then some of those Week 1 performances, you may get a follow up that makes you feel very confident about them. And some of them in the, some of the players in the starts of the week today are some players that we think maybe will, you know, a couple of them are guys that had good week ones.

Yeah, I know my running back start of the week is scary because it was a player that, you know is not supposed to be great. Week one was great week one and I'm saying start him this week.

I will tell you from Jason trying to trade me Keon Coleman multiple times that he doesn't necessarily believe Keon Coleman's going to keep doing what he did in week one. I'm not.

I'm trying to acquire my running back. Start of the week.

Okay.

All right.

News and notes from around the league presented by Progressive Insurance.

Brock Purdy, a long shot to play this week. According to Kyle Shanahan. He's dealing with a turf to variant.

I did see it was like, it.

It was like turf toe.

It's just a kind of a, it's A Does that mean it's like evolved?

I don't. I don't know. That's more like athlete's foot that evolved.

It's a multiverse turf toe.

But they are saying that the injury could be two to five weeks, which is quite the range. But this is obviously serious. They said earlier when he had the two different injuries that the toe was more serious and it will keep him out.

Chris Godwin expected to return to practice today for the first time. Week five remains the target return day for Chris Godwin.

Tristan Wharfs as well return to practice. Not going to play yet, but we'd.

Like to see that they're practicing.

We have Evan Ingram limited on Wednesday with the calf injury suffered in Week.

One or is Jason relevant? Jason would say just limited. He also has a calf injury though, right.

Dallas Goddard knee sprain availability for Week 2 for the Eagles up in the.

Air this one is very special for fantasy football players that this. I don't think anyone had a real inclination that Goddard was was hurt and then waivers ran and there were two very juicy tight ends on the waiver wire and people with Goddard were probably like, ah, I don't know if I need one or not. And then Wednesday they went shooting.

I did well and a lot of people picked up Goddard. They spent. If he was on the waivers, if he went undrafted, they picked him up. It's also important for fantasy because we have a good amount of history with Goddard missing games and when that happens, the two primary, the two primary wide receivers, especially Devontae Smith. Yes, he usually skyrockets up in games that Dallas Goddard misses. But it'll be, you know, A.J. brown after his poor outing in week one. If Goddard doesn't go, hopefully the wide.

Receivers can refer to the wide receiver one.

What the first John Dotson?

Yes.

No, I don't.

Yeah. It was bad for both Brown and Devonte Smith in Week one, so we'd like to see them bounce back. Quinch on Judkins didn't practice Wednesday. Was meeting with the NFL expected to practice today and we'll see if he's available and active at all for the Browns. So you're Dylan Sampson.

Drum for I would imagine that if he is active, you're still not going to play.

Limited in workload.

Right. You could. If Judkins plays this week, I don't think it changes really anything, which is no matter what, I'm not playing Ford because he was so bad in Week one. And I think you could play Sampson in either, either situation if you're In a full PPR league where he should get the passing work.

Starts of the week Presented by Paramount Plus.

All right. I felt good about three of my four last week. Joe Burrow didn't work out. I was trying to get a week one Joe Burrow performance.

Nobody can get Joe Burrow to play well in week one.

What was great was that the world did react to like you. How dare you put him as your start of the week in week one.

It's too easy.

Because it's too easy. You drafted him too high. Oh, what the. Oh, all right.

Well, I mean, it was pretty sad.

Yeah, it was sad. I didn't mean to hit that, but it was sad. Week two, starts of the week. Jason, kick us off at quarterback.

I'm going to go with a guy that I think I'm bought into. Maybe, you know, you don't overreact from one week. I am overreacting from I'm bought into for the rest of the season. I think Justin Herbert will be throwing the ball enough this season to be very important for fantasy. I loved the way that he ran the ball. He had more designed runs and he scrambled quicker. He has athleticism. He had 32 rushing yards, 318 passing yards. That was against a very good Kansas City defense. The Chargers are three and a half point road favorites in a dome against the Raiders where last year he was the quarterback three when they played there. His weapons are the best he's had maybe in his entire career. I would say definitely in his entire career. I think this version of lad McConkey, Keenan Allen, you know, huge. The two rookies you're going to include.

Huge.

Absolutely. I'm going to include.

I didn't know if we were there yet.

Yeah, well, I. When he is the third option, when he's literally like the. I'm going to go to Keenan Allen and lad McConkey and you can't stop me all the time. And the defense has to guard that. Oh, now I can throw a deep shot to qj. It's perfect for his skill set.

All right, Mike, what do you got?

I'm going with Kyler Murray.

Oh, boy.

Yeah, he's playing. Yeah, I'll do it. It's fine.

Yeah, yeah.

The quarterback.

Seven after week one.

Yeah.

No, actually in week one. What was he. Because he was He's QB seven for us ranking.

Yeah.

This upcoming week.

I think he was higher than that. He had a good.

He had two passing touchdowns. The, the at least the promise of the off season of like, hey, I think Kyler is actually going to run more. He himself said I need to do that. And he did. It wasn't necessarily the prettiest of decisions when he chose to scramble and how it was. It was happening, but we at least saw it. We saw seven rush attempts for 38 yards. They are big home favorites against the Carolina Panthers. I expect the Cardinals running game to get it going, but I also expect that like Kyler, you know, the two passing touchdowns with another 40 on the ground is. I think it's in the. The range of possibilities we had.

Well, look, Kyler was almost my start of the week. I had him in there. But the guy I think will run more than Kyler and why I moved him into my start of the week was Justin Fields. He takes on Buffalo. We saw that incredible Buffalo Baltimore game last week. It wasn't just the legs against Pittsburgh that were great. He was also number one in completion percentage over expectation among all quarterbacks. Not something you've been able to look to Justin Fields for in the past, but he had the connection going with all of his receivers. 9.9 yards per attempt. It wasn't just dink and dunk stuff. And they play Buffalo this week. The jets do. Buffalo gave up the most yards per play in the NFL in Week 1. Yes, it was Lamar, but I think Justin Fields follows up a good week one with a great week two. And I'm excited to see what happens at running back.

I do not believe this will be a complete rest of season the way that I do think so with Justin Herbert. But it will be a week to success with Travis ETN coming off a great performance against the worst run defense we've seen in our generation. The thing is, is he's the guy. Now there's clarity. He had 19 opportunities, 31% of the team's total rush attempts and targets. And then it was like, well, is it going to be him? Is it going to be Tank Bigsby? It's not going to be Tank Bigsby. They traded him. So, you know, maybe Tutank gets a little bit more involved. But this is ETN's backfield, especially right now, certainly in Week 2. And if you look at Week 1, how good he was, the Jaguars offensive line ranked fourth in adjusted yards before contact. Now again, that's the Carolina defense. But he gets the Bengals defense, which is pretty close, you know, if you could call it defense. So I think it's a great matchup for him. I don't think Tootin is going to work his way in enough right off the bat in week two. So, yeah, ETN is a good play.

Fire him up. Make sure he's in your lineup.

I'm going with Jordan Mason, Minnesota Vikings running back against the Atlanta Falcons. Aaron Jones had the highlight touchdown, but if you didn't pay attention, Jordan Mason was incredibly involved. He was the early down guy. Mason ended up 13 for 69 and Jones was 7 for 21. The thing that I find interesting about this is they tried at the beginning to have it be Aaron Jones. Like they gave Aaron Jones a couple carries that went nowhere. And then Jordan Mason gets brought in and he is the power back. The Vikings are three and a half point home favorites against the Falcons right now. So I love that environment. And just for some more context, like my Dynasty team right now, I have Jordan Mason in my lineup over Kenneth Walker. So, like, that's the type of play that I'm talking about.

All right, I'm going with Breece hall taking on the Bills. Yes. Back to back Jets. It feels so good.

We're not done yet.

It feels so good. Look, this is. It was very clear in week one who the lead back was, not just by opportunity, but by talent and juice.

He looked so fast.

He looked great. And the Bills just got absolutely gashed. Big play after big play. And if you look at those Henry big runs, they had room. He had room to, you know, get to that second level. That's when Henry turns on the Jets. And so based on what I saw in week one, you know, the success Breeze had against the Pittsburgh defense, we expected to be a lot better. I think it was a lot about Breeze. I think it was about the offensive line getting it done. And so I think Breeze follows it up in week two.

My wide receiver start of the week is DK Metcalf in a revenge game. He will be at home, not in Seattle, but he's playing against the Seahawks. And I think he's got plenty to prove. Aaron Rodgers has spoke so glowingly of him this last week. We saw it right, 26% of his routes, he was targeted. He. He had seven targets. He didn't have a great game. Four catches for 83. That's. That's a pretty good game. No touchdown, but he had Sauce Gardner on him for a lot of that. He knows the Seahawks. He's working with Aaron Rodgers, who Aaron Rodgers hyper targets. His number one. He's always been, whether it was Devonte Adams or Jordan Nelson or Garrett Wilson, he can make fantasy stars. And I think this is a perfect matchup for him against Seattle.

Speaking of Garrett Wilson, three Jets in.

The starts of the week.

Gosh, what are we doing?

What could possibly go wrong here? He just, he was the alpha. 36% of the team's targets ends up 7 for 95. At 1. We mentioned the. He was a just a fraction away from a second touchdown. And maybe the Buffalo secondary bounces back because that was just Lamar and the Ravens. However, it was the third most fantasy points to the wide receiver position in week one, allowing 17 yards per catch. I think Garrett Wilson can have another big day.

All right, I am going to go with Keenan Allen against the Raiders this week. That Monday Night Football game. The tandem with Justin Herbert, he was right back to the target machine we know him to be, which was cool to see in week one, you know, joining this team. He had a better than expected season with Chicago. 28% of his routes, he was targeted and he has dominated the Raiders historically. I think Keenan is a great play.

My tight end start of the week, you just picked him up off of waivers. You had to, you had to spend quite a bit to get him good. It's Juwan Johnson against the San Francisco 49ers. You put them right into your lineup. This is probably their second target in their receiving game. Yes, he's their, he's their slot wide receiver. And you don't usually get that from a tight end. That's what we saw in week one. 34 of his 74 snaps were in the slot.

They played so fast.

I mean, 99% of team snaps is awesome, but the fact that he wasn't there to block, he was out there running routes. It was like 96% route participation. Unbelievably great. He was fifth most among all players in week one in those slot snaps. And he, he had a 24% target share, fourth highest among all tight ends. Now you've got a matchup against San Francisco where their defense is not the defense it used to be. The usage is so unbelievable that I'm not really worried about him falling flat. I think his floor is pretty high now. Will he get a touchdown and have a dominant like, oh my gosh, Juwan Johnson won me my week. I don't, I don't expect that with Spencer Rattler, but in a position where you're just not sure if you're going to end up with a point or five. I feel like the baseline here in any kind of half PPR league is like you've got a six point base where if he has a real bad game, he's going to catch enough balls. And if he breaks one tackle does something special, you can get to double digits pretty easy.

He would.

The mustache is worth the start of the week anyways.

Is he rocking a mustache?

Oh, yeah.

I have highness.

Oh, yeah.

Hold on. Hold the presses.

He looks chiseled.

Oh, man, look at this guy with the mustache. I'm moving him up the rankings.

I told, right now. I told you. We look. Some of our analysis is database. Some of it is, wow.

We are very pro mustache.

I'm seeing a picture of him next to the character from Severance.

Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I mean it's, it's pretty stellar.

The, the solution for poor quarterback play when we're talking about fantasy football is just an overabundance of snaps and plays. And that's what the Saints gave us last week and that is what Kellen Moore has historically done. My tight end start of the week, it's Kyle Pitts. It is Kyle Pitts. Eight targets turned into seven for 59. That was the, was the tight end 12 on the week. I mean, finishing as a top 12 tight end where you're not scoring like that's. You'll take that because then you actually have true upside. He lined up in the slot on 49% of his snaps, ran a route on 81% of the Atlanta Falcons drop backs, which would be. That's fourth in terms of the tight end position. And I expect that Minnesota is going to create a game script where they will have to throw. So Kyle Pitts. I'd stay with it.

All right. I'm going to go with Britain. Strange against the Bengals. This is a lot.

I like this one.

It's a little about Strange who was involved, very involved in week one. But it's a lot about the Bengals who, you know, until they prove otherwise, I'm going to believe that they don't know the opposing team starts tight ends because they were the worst.

I mean, Harold Fannin, everyone.

Like, yeah, and the joke.

Yeah, I'm saying, like, we're so, the world is so excited for Harold Fannin. I think justifiably so. But it's like he was playing against the Bengals.

Last year the Bengals were dead last in fantasy points given up to tight ends. And in week one, they're 29th and they give up over 15 points to tight end. So I'm, I'm really chasing that. It's a great matchup, a great situation. The Bengals defense sucks and Britain Strange seems like he's needed and necessary for the offense. You know, he had 59 receiving yards in week one. That was a team high. He caught all four of his targets and he'll probably get another four to five, if not more with the red zone chance. I'm going to go with Britain Strange.

If you lost Dallas Goddard, there's a chance that Britain Strange was not picked up as everyone went after fan and Juwan Johnson.

Absolutely. So that was Starts of the week presented by Paramount plus. Paramount plus is the streaming home to the NFL on cbs. Get started at Paramount plus. We'll take a break and jump into the forecast. All right, you, you blink and week two, here we are.

Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks.

We get to talk about that matchup right away. Jacksonville 1 and O traveled to Cincinnati who score who had seven total yards in the second half of their victory who are also 1 and O. And Vegas has Cincinnati three and a half point home favorites. The over under is 48 and a half.

Very nice. I believe it's the where it's tied right now for the highest of the week. The Green Bay Washington game is also no 50s. Nope, not yet. They're usually a little, you know, more more reigned in both because we don't know what's going on yet.

Both of these teams were. They're one and oh and yet we were bummed mostly correct by both of them in week one that we thought, you know, we'd see higher scoring affairs. The Bengals offense was incredibly boring. Nothing explosive. They couldn't do anything. Burrow targeted his wide receivers a career low 39% of the time last game. So you had a lot of you had the tight ends involved, right? Noah Fant was getting passes and Gasicki and Chase Brown and then Lawrence, you know, he was okay, but Brian Thomas Jr. It just didn't work out. I think he was like what did he catch two of seven targets or something like that. One of seven targets. Somebody looked that up. Yeah, he was seven targets. Seven targets, one for 11. So not good. And Travis Hunter, he had the most targets on the roster but nothing big. So we're supposed to see him play a little bit more defense this week. But let's start at the quarterback position. It should be. You're playing Burrow, a bounce back for Burrow and Higgins, right?

Yeah, for sure. I mean Jaguars last year were ranked dead last against quarterbacks this is, you know, they might look a little bit more scary if you're looking at your platform. Like, oh, the strength of schedule. It's one week and they played against Bryce Young who looked abysmal. So, yeah, no one is benching Joe Burrow after one bad week.

But what about Lawrence?

Lawrence is to me someone that if you're really, really not confident in your quarterback, he is a waiver wire guy that you could put in there, so. But he's primarily more of like a 2 QB. I think he's a good quarterback to this week.

So Trevor Lawrence or Drake May.

Drake May.

Bo Nicks against the Colts.

I'm going to stay with Bo Nicks another week.

Okay.

And I'll go one tier down. Let's go. J.J. mcCarthy.

That's interesting. Yeah, I think I go Lawrence there. J.J. mcCarthy had such an incredibly good fourth quarter, but he, he still showed kind of the, the early game jitters. The rookie, that was a tough matchup.

Against and now he's at home. Just saying. I think though, those two might end up closer than people would think.

I mean, they are like back to back in my rankings.

Oh, perfect.

Is that true? NFL, NFC offensive player of the week?

Yeah, he was. He was. I thought it was a little egregious. I mean, he played great for a quarter and he led the team to a comeback. I get that. But someone else had to have been better.

That's what I was trying to think about in the nfc. It's like I'm.

Oh, yeah.

Kind of struggling to find some. Maybe that's. That must be why. I mean, nobody's jumping out.

You're right. So it was a pretty blah week of football.

Chase Brown games while the Bengals did not put up the points.

Oh, yeah. I would have gone Daniel Jones.

Jones is in the afc. Boy.

Oh, God. Jason.

Couple of idiots.

Gotcha.

No, that's Jason's fault. He's just throwing out names.

Derek Henry. Huh? Guys. Goodness, you know how good he was.

Jason and his conferences.

Chase Brown, 52% of the team's total rush attempts and targets. Look at the workload. Not necessarily at the, you know, Bengals offense in week one that was slowed down frequently. Chase Brown is a must start. Travis Etienne's Jason start of the week. Brian Thomas Jr. I said it. Seven targets, just one catch. Had a rushing touchdown. He'll be okay. They'll figure out ways to get him the football. Chase and Higgins are in your lineup. Travis Hunter, is he a flex play this week? Would you play?

I think because you play him Over Judy. Ooh.

Travis Hunter, like I said, he led the team in targets. He had eight targets in this game, just nothing. They could not break a big play.

He was really close to one big broken play. I'm fine. Having Brian Thomas Jr. And Travis Hunter both as like just wash away week one and expect what you expect with great talent.

That's wild that between them they caught four of 15 targets.

The thing is about Trevor Lawrence. I don't remember if I brought this up on air or if it was when we were watching football on Sunday or whatever, but he reminds me a lot of Kyler Murray in the sense that he is not a bad quarterback, but he will never be a great quarterback. And they all, both of them, they have their games where they just look, you go, wow, okay. He's figuring this out. Last week, it was not. Trevor Lawrence was not dialed in. But if Trevor Lawrence comes out and looks dialed in against this Bangles matchup, it's going to be a really, really.

I don't know. Yeah.

No, yeah.

I feel it.

You're not.

No, I feel it.

Feel deeper.

I feel it.

Think more. Andy's almost upset of the week two weeks in a row. It's a good sign.

I don't mind it.

And I think a little absurd.

Week one, it hit though. It covered. I mean, 17, 16 can't be more.

Of an almost upset than the team that absolutely should have won the game.

Well, by one, I'm going to go with it. We talked about Britain Strange. And then there's too many tight ends in Cincinnati to care about any of them. The Giants are oh and one. They take on the oh and one Dallas Cowboys in a divisional battle. Now, what division is that, Jay?

That would be nfc. Okay, how about.

That's a conference.

Yeah, that's.

I'm looking for the division.

The East. Yeah.

How about this? How about this? How about this? Going Back to the J.J. mcCarthy or Christian McCaffrey.

Oh, no, it'd be McCarthy for sure.

Yeah.

Yeah. Mike agrees.

Yeah, that's ridiculous.

I mean, accumulating a bunch of like, short catches does not win you an offensive player of the week.

You got the.

Wasn't even close.

It's hearing the whole offense.

He.

He did. But the impact of on the road first start coming back in the fourth, I would.

On the road getting a win.

Yeah.

Like McCaffrey.

No, no, not even close. His performance. McCaffrey's performance. No, he does that all the time. He should be at every week then. I mean, he does that every single week. If you had a breakaway touchdown run or you did something, scored twice to get it. Yeah, I mean, Jaden Daniels deserves it over him last week for sure. Okay. But you did get the right conference on that one.

Thank you.

Giants. Owen one, Dallas. Owen one, Dallas. Four and a half point favorites. Over under is 44 and a half wild fact for you, Dak Prescott has won 13, 13 straight.

No way.

Against the Giants.

No way.

That is a teen straight. That's insane. That is the longest win streak any quarterback has had against a single opponent since. And we can probably remember this one, Brady against Buffalo. There was a time when Brady won 13 in a row against Buffalo.

That's blowing my mind right now.

It really is. It's wild. He is. Yeah. Brian Dable is 0 and 6 against the Cowboys.

Well, that makes sense.

Well, but Dak hasn't always been there. But they still managed to lose. Look the. On the. On paper right now, you got Russell Wilson starting this game. You know, Tyrone Tracy, if you want to. If you want to look at week one, this was a game where they played the commanders. Tyrone Tracy dominated the touches and the snaps.

74% of snaps.

74%. It didn't go anywhere. And Scatterboost didn't either on his limited touches. But Tracy is the workhorse right here, right now.

So he is for now. The hard thing for Tracy is with over time, Scatterboo, I believe, will eat into the workload. Maybe Tracy remains the 1A or whatever, but are the Giants, you know, as the transition of the Giants are moving from Russ to Jackson Dart, which will happen. I'm not sure which week, but it's like by the time that happens and then we have more hope for the Giants. Has Scatterboo taken into a 1B because if Tracy's still dominating the team.

What about just on this week, just against the Dallas Cowboys.

I would. I don't want to start.

Here's the problem. We don't have a lot of options at running back in fantasy right now. People are playing. People are playing Dobbins out there. Would you rather put Nick Chubb out there.

Eckler tonight or.

I would play Eckler. I'd play Eckler.

What about Bill?

No, I would play Bill.

I would play Bill Tracy.

I'm starting to think Bill has a better game than Eckler tonight.

Oh, this was after yesterday's. It was like everybody but Bill. Do you want a formal formally, Bill, Paul Crosky, this thing?

I think if the commanders have a good game against the packers, it Will be because of Bill Crosby.

Oh, we're going to watch. We're going to see Javante Williams. Javante Williams had two touchdowns in Week 1. 33% of the team's total rushing attempts and targets anything over 30% on that number is truly elite.

Yeah, you just, if you have like. I'd play Javante over Tracy. Oh, of course, the Javante. You'll be playing him. The. The thing to watch honestly is more. Is Jaden Blue still at healthy scratch? Because Jaden Blue is the. He is the threat to Javante. I don't think it's not going to end up being Miles. It's just how long does it take for Jaden Blue to get integrated into this offense?

Javante over Jalen Warren. I'm fine with that.

Yeah, I'm fine with that.

Tony Pollard against the Rams defense. You guys talked up the Rams defense. I'd probably play Javante.

That one's really tough because Pollard looked so good. But the Rams defense is good. I lean Pollard there. I don't want to get fooled by two touchdowns from Javante Week one. And also the snap percentage was absolutely elite for Javante. But remember they brought in Miles Sanders and then he fumbled the ball and then they basically got benched. If Miles Sanders had one carry, it.

Would be two too many.

But my point is I wonder if the numbers were just inflated week one. If they benched Miles Sanders for losing the fumble there, they should keep benching him. Well, sure, but maybe they don't.

Yeah, okay. CD Lamb, George Pickens, put them back out there. Jake Ferguson, it was a big dud in week one. Five for 23. The targets are there. Should have caught a touchdown though. I think you can go right back to it.

He always should have caught a touchdown, man. It is his. It is his superpower. The way that Jalen Waddle gets injured every game and then comes back every game. No one ever has more in zone red zone targets than Jake Ferguson with no touchdowns. Like you can't just for dude's tired.

Of getting blown up.

You can't forever say like, oh man, if you look at the behind the scenes metrics, he should have like his expected touchdowns is like 800 more than he has.

Well, are you playing him? Yeah, sure.

No, I mean, I think you know, the targets, the offense, the. I presume they are favored. Yeah, they're four and a half point favorites. Yeah, he's a fine low end start, but honestly a lot of the guys like Juwan Johnson, I would play over him.

Yeah, I can agree with that Malik.

Neighbors limited on Wednesday, that's probably going to be a thing all season long, but he's going to play. Wandale Robinson did not practice on Wednesday. He should be able to play, but not for your lineup. And then Theo Johnson. How disappointed were you in the drops, Jason?

I was very. I was playing on price picks and I had a projection of one and a half and he didn't hit it.

He didn't.

He didn't get more. He certainly should have. He just had two super drops. I mean like, like the guy's never caught a ball in his life. Looking drops.

Those are still probably better than the ones where Judy and Tillman throw it up in the air. Those drops are.

Yeah, when you drop it, let the ball go to the ground.

They just bat it down.

That's a. That's like a pop.

That's a pop.

Yeah.

Chicago, we got to watch them on Monday Night Football. They go to Detroit to take on the also winless Detroit Lions. The Vegas line. Detroit minus six at home. The over under 48 and a half. Ben Johnson's return. Do we think it'll be a good one for Chicago?

Oh, man, this game is fascinating.

We did talk about Caleb having good numbers against Chicago fantasy wise last year.

Yeah, I don't think this is going to go well for the Chicago Bears. The Detroit Lions were borderline humiliated by the Packers. They were dominated at least by the packers in Week one. The coaching staff came out, they were talking about it. Morton was talking about that. We've got, you know, our job is to fix problems. We've got to be better. This is a matchup that I think will tell the Lions we need to run the ball a lot more. I expect the Lions to run. You saw what happened when the Vikings turned to the run in the second half as the Bears started getting, you know, a little bit tired and they, you know, Aaron Jones wasn't working so they brought Jordan Mason and he just started gashing them. That's the heart of the Lions at home. I think they're going to run all over the Bears.

DeAndre Swift received 100% of the team's running back carries in week one. Played 81% of the snaps. The Lions defense normally pretty stout against the running game. DeAndre Swift, you just start him because the workload is going to be there.

Yeah, it's a.

And the passing game, it's a.

But he'll get you. He'll get you close to 10 in week one.

Gibbs saw a lot of work, not a lot of production Montgomery had 11 attempts for 25 yards, four catches for 18 yards played on 37% of snaps. If you look back to last year, that's about what he does. I mean 38% two years ago, 34% last year, 37% in week one. It kind of seems like Detroit Monty is Detroit Monte, which is play him and if you get a touchdown, you're happy and this is a game he probably scores.

Yes.

Is that fair?

I think that's fair. I think that's very fair. I would not move too far off of Monty from a bad performance last week in this matchup at home favored against a run funnel defense.

This the matchup here, you know, just to zoom out, I think we're, we're going to get some answers here of if one of these teams, whichever team lays an egg, should one of them do it?

Yeah, they'll be on to the.

But the panic like if, if Chicago goes and upsets the Detroit Lions on the road. Oh yeah, like that is that will be panic in the streets. Or if the Bears with all everything they put into it and they start owing to. Then you're just going to be like, what do you do with these? What do you do with these? These fantasy players like the wide receivers for Chicago. If, if they put up a game very similar to week one, it's going to be awful.

Well, let's talk about the wide receivers on both sides, starting with Jameson Williams. He played 97% of all snaps. He was out there, had the four catches. I think it was just 23 yards. Are you kind of Jason, with your view on Green Bay, how they performed in week one at Lambeau. Are you just kind of whatever you were going to do in week one with Detroit players, you're doing that in week two with Detroit players.

I think you probably are. Jameson Williams, to me you can, you might have a better option. Right. This is not a good matchup. The Bears passing defense has been really good last year, really good this year. And they should actually be healthier in week two than they were in week one.

What about Debo? Or at least they could be Debo tonight. Or Jameson.

I would play Debo.

Interesting.

I think that Jameson is just a little on the cusp and the matchup isn't great here. Obviously he's got talent. You could throw him in your lineup and just have an explosive single play that.

But he is a flexation, a buka. I'd go Jameson Williams.

Yeah, it'd be really hard to sit two touchdown Abuka for week two and play Jameson after a tougher week one, I hope to see the Detroit Lions at home golf and Jameson and Amon Rod get things going. The running game get things going on the other side of dunes. They did have nine targets. He was 6 for 37 and a touchdown. That was the target high for the team. D.J. moore had five, but they gave him three carries. He's been used in weird ways. I still like a Dunes a more myself, but I don't blame anybody for going. D.J. moore.

Yeah. I'm not even sure who I like more, but I like neither. I mean, yeah, I want to see more from Caleb before I can confidently start receiving options there. You know, you might have Luther Burton more involved. You might have Colson Loveland more involved. If you take away the unbelievably great touchdown design.

Oh, man. Like that play that was so.

Those, those, those specific situations are what Ben Johnson like. You know, you're missing Those on your 4th and short or whatever. That play design on the goal line was just brilliant to let a Dunes a be. No, you're on the goal line.

Caleb can't miss him.

You're on the goal line and no one's within five yards of you in the end zone. I don't know how that's possible. Obviously he could do it again and again and again, but he only had 37 yards is my point. He led the team in target, so it's hard for me to trust any receivers there.

Colson Loveland is a cut candidate for you.

Yeah, I had him in a league where I chose to hold on for one more week, but absolutely he was on that bubble of like, if there was another waiver wire ad out there that was worth it, I would have got him.

We need more snaps and everything before we get into that.

And pay attention to Caleb Williams rushing totals week one. Six for 58 and a touchdown. So almost. He almost had two touchdowns that turned into the Odunze throw, but he was able to get out of the pocket and take off. And you know, it seemed to me when watching this game that the prescription for Caleb was like, if those big plays aren't there, like, quickly look underneath. Quickly looked at Swift in the. In the flats. Quickly look to the tight end position. Try not to hold the ball too long because that was it. He was setting records, taking sacks last year.

Well, you saw in the beginning of the game, he came out and they had a plan, they had a script, drop back, get the ball out. Looked awesome. And then as the game got more competitive and the script went bye bye. Then it looked like rookie year Caleb.

The Rams at one and O traveled to the Tennessee Titans, who are oh and one the Vegas line here. Los Angeles minus five and a half. The over unders 41 and a half. That gives the Titans just 18 points. You know, Brian Hallett, Brian Callahan had the very embarrassing press conference not understanding that an elbow does equal two feet. Sean McVay obviously gets it going on offense for Los Angeles. Cam Ward pretty tentative in week one. They were 28th in pass rate on first downs. They were. They were doing the boring, boring handed off every single time. Problem with that plan is you get behind and then you look even worse and you just. It kind of was the opposite of what we saw with JJ McCarthy struggling in the first half. I feel like they just went hyper conservative with Cam Ward and needed to give him more opportunities. I had a lot of people jump out and, you know, get all over us for saying, hey, he wasn't inaccurate. There were a lot of drops by his receivers.

Yes.

It kind of depends on the metrics you look at.

Sure. Like catchable target rate, which was very bad.

That one was. That one was bad. But there were.

Yeah, he wasn't good. He was and I don't blame him. In his first game against the Denver Broncos defense, but he wasn't.

He only completed 1 of 12 passes over 10 yards, so that should tell.

You 43% passing completion rate. And he threw a lot of short ones.

Yeah, blame. Blame who you want, but Cam Ward. It was a debut performance against a tough defense and we seem to, you know, the Rams are probably a tough defense as well.

He's got a follow up performance against a tough defense. Now he's going to be at home, which might be a little bit nicer. But the Rams looked awesome. They completely shut down CJ Stroud and I expect them to completely shut down Cam ward. They scored 12 points last week. I don't think there's anyone outside of Tony Pollard that I would want to play in this game. Tony Pollard is not a great play.

Still no Ridley then?

I don't think so, no.

I think you just watch Ridley and you watch I.O. manor.

Yeah, I'm not dropping. I would have signed I.O. manor. I would certainly keep rostering Ridley. This isn't the matchup for him. I'm just going to watch.

I mean, we love the 32% target share for Calvin Ridley, but need more catchable.

Yeah. And then Iron Manor was at 37% of first read targets. Puka, Devonte, Adams play Them always. Kyron, play that. Play him. And there you go. That matchup's not very complicated.

I love the Rams. I love the Rams. Every week, here's what we say. It doesn't matter the matchup. We just say, go ahead and start Kyron, Puka and Devonte. Then like, let's not.

We never say Stafford.

No, because Stafford because. You want to know why? Because Kyron Williams gets a touchdown on the goal line every week no matter what, no matter how inefficient, ineffective. When they get down, there they go. I know what works. Kyron at the goal line. And it works every time. And that means Stafford.

Oh, my gosh. He did do that in week one, didn't he?

100%. He just looked.

For some reason I forgot it. I was like, except for week one. But no, he did. New England 0 and 1, Miami Owen 1. The Vegas line. Miami minus one and a half. They are favorite in this one.

Oh, all right, all right.

The over unders 43 and a half. That's not a lot.

Did that change because we had talked about the New England? They were favored in so many games. Did that flip or was this already?

I imagine Miami stayed favored at home in this one. It's close though. Okay.

Kyle's confirming it was already this. Okay.

New England two has had their number seven and oh against New England in his entire career. Two had a brutal week one. I imagine it gets better in week two at home. It couldn't have looked worse in week one. So I think, you know, we've seen enough of tua. Not every game's been like that. I think it gets a lot better. So that means better things for hn for Waddle, yes. For Tyree Kill. But it's really a matter of where you slot those guys in compared to other options now. It's not an auto start situation anymore for either of those guys. I mean, I was more like Tyreek Hill. We've seen. The trajectory wasn't shocking that it was a tough week. It was much more disappointing to have Jalen waddle sitting at 4 for 30 in a game where and go out half hurt again. I mean, it's just I'm kind of getting done with that song.

And the Chicago boys or the Miami boys?

I kind of lean the.

I'm on the Miami boys side. I. We've seen.

No, I'm going to take Chicago.

We've. We've seen. All right, let's think about this.

Total. To be clear, all of this displeases me.

Total receiving these Are what has total receiving fantasy points. Dolphins versus Bears. Me versus you.

Wait, wide receivers. Or are you including tight ends?

Tight ends, running back.

Just a tandem.

Okay. Just the tandems. Yeah. More.

More underdue. You don't feel so good.

I don't feel great about.

He was trying to sneak.

Yeah, I wanted a chance number something.

Oh, my gosh.

That's why I said receiving. But I'll take. I'll take the two pack.

The two pack of Miami. Oh, man.

All right. I want to hear you say go Dolphins. Then I'll hit the button.

Go Fins Waterbed.

All right. Chan's definitely a start. Where are we with. I believe that Mike Vrabel came out and said, look, we need to get him into space. Last week you saw that as you know, he had six catches, but it was for 24 yards. Didn't have enough space after the catch.

No, he really did not play 35% of snaps. The.

Buy.

I don't think you can. But yes, he absolutely is a buy. Go see if you can get him. When we could buy Caleb Johnson when we were watching. Yeah, you can. I mean, you can just buy him off the waivers.

Yeah. If you like two fab you.

If you're disappointed in a player like people drafted Travy on high. It is possible to leverage a high performing week one player for a low performing week two player.

Especially if you did not watch the game. When you. When you look at the underlying metrics and you're like, well, Ramondre was the dude. You know, he was playing so many more snaps, got so much more work. Which. Which he did. But when you watch the game, there was. It was like, oh, it's coming. You just watched each handoff and go, yeah. It will not be long until Travion Henderson is at least 50. 50. And that's, I think all he needs to be a regular fantasy start. The question, do you start him in this game? I think so.

Henderson.

You can flex Henderson.

Yeah, yeah. If you're in a half or a.

Full, I play him over Ramondre, I'll tell you that.

Yeah. Ramondre played 65% of the snapshot, had 10 opportunities. Trayvon had 11. And it was just, I mean, Ramon Dre 7 for 15 on the ground. Henderson's 5 for 27. It. It's a matter of time.

I have a league where I have to play Ramondre. I actually have two leagues that I have to play Ramondre. If sleeper let me put in retired players, I would play a retired. I'd play.

Which one would you.

I'D play a retired Ronnie Brown.

You wouldn't go to like Aaron Foster. You're.

I mean, sure.

I think he's trying to say how low.

Yeah, I would play a retired committee back. All right. Right. So, I mean, Joy Bell, welcome to the lineup.

I miss Joy Bell. Yeah.

That was like a fun year.

Stefan Diggs was not very involved. Kayshawn Booty continued to be heavily involved.

He's probably one of the number one guys I'm keeping my eyes on this week. I picked him up. I paid a lot to pick him up. That doesn't necessarily mean I'm starting him this week, but if he comes out and leads the team in targets the way that he did the second half of year with Drake May and the way he did in week one, then from here on forward, I will see him as the.

Do I need to speak to a therapist about Ronnie Brown's name coming into my head that quickly? Is that a problem?

What did you think when it came into your head?

Why?

I did say why. Yeah, Wildcat Ronnie Brown.

Oh, okay.

Your ram just fired off. I found something.

My Ram.

The. What do you guys think? So Stefan Diggs ran 33 routes. You know, he's on the field for 41% of the snaps. But in that time he did see seven targets. He caught six of them for 57 yards. So the.

Pay attention. It's. Yeah, he didn't really look like himself in those targets to me. He looked more like just kind of an underneath option later career just of.

Taking like it's going to take Stefan Diggs some time to recover from the knee injury. I just wanted your temperature.

Yeah, he was 6 or 57. I mean that's not bad on 40.

Some odd percent of snaps. If he works his way to 70, 80% of snaps and becomes the number one for this team, that wouldn't be shocking. It would be fine for a PPR league, but I don't think he has the ceiling hopeful upside that someone like Booty might have.

All right, let's take a break. We'll jump into some more matchups. What's left of the 1 and 0 49ers take on the New Orleans Saints who are also 01 San Francisco 3 point road favorites. Over under is just 40 and a half points. We're going to get Mac Jones and.

That'S Shanahan finally gets his guy.

It's going to throw a little bit of concern into the mix, I think for expectations for San Francisco's offense. Saints are at home. Christian McCaffrey did not practice on Wednesday. They're resting the calf.

He should literally sleep from now until 10 minutes before the game kicks off. However long it takes him to stretch and warm up, that's when he should.

Just be in, like a chamber. Yes, that's a funny idea because he can't get hurt if he's just in a sleeping pod.

Well, I mean, don't tell him what he can't do. Jason can hurt himself.

I have to imagine the way he was able to handle 31 touches last week.

Was it really 31?

Yeah. I mean, he was. He was a. He was Christian McCaffrey. He was just the entire locomotive of the train here. And he has been clearly siphoning the health of other players.

It.

And he's going to run out of players to take help from. It's draining too fast.

So Jennings, Kittle and Purdy were three. So 31 touches, that's the three he took from.

Yeah. And so I'm happy Pearsall's out wide. You know, he's a little further away from the running back position.

Oh, you're saying it's a proximity thing.

That's right. That's what I'm saying.

And he sucks.

Probably going to be an O lineman. It's going to be an O lineman issue. How is any old lineman injuries right now going on soon? Okay.

Yeah. McCaffrey, you know, he was not great on the ground last week. No 3.1 a carry on 22 carries. He was great in the passing game. And you will have Mac Jones behind center. I mean, I. It doesn't change how you're playing Christian McCaffrey. It just. I think there'll be a few. A couple fewer targets, personally, because I think Purdy just. He's got that internal clock that goes straight to Christian McCaffrey. After a certain amount of time in the pocket, Mac Jones, if he was wise, would do that. I think we've only had one game in the last three years where Purdy wasn't on the field and McCaffrey was. And I think McCaffrey had a couple fewer targets in that one game. It's not a good sample. So that's just my speculative.

This is the guy Shanahan wanted. Mac Jones over Trey Lance. The speculation that that was originally his target. Now you get. You might get the chance to see how that works out. Ricky Pearsall was going to be my start of the week. I think his. His metrics have been really great the last four. Four games dating back to last season. He's Number three in the NFL in total yards. It's scary with Mac Jones there, but Mac Jones did hyper target Brian Thomas Jr. Last year. To me, that says I'm going to go after the most talented guy on my roster and just see what happens. And if that's the case, I don't think that's hyper targeting Ricky Pearsall, who's good. I think that is actually just constantly checking it down to Christian McCaffrey.

We also saw Brian Robinson's acclimation. It was 24% of the snaps and 11 opportunities. You could see that go up a little bit. I don't know if 31 touches is going to be frankly sustainable for McCaffrey.

It won't be sustainable, but it'll go north. It'll be like 45 this week. Just everything. I'm surprised he's not playing quarterback.

So if you took an over under on 31 touches, I'm going to take the under.

No, you have to take the under because that's an absurd number. But he will get way too much work.

I don't think you're playing anybody else on that team. I think it's Pearsall, CMC and that's it.

Yeah.

Juan Jennings on the other side. Your start of the week at tight.

You're not, you're not, you're not going to throw out Tonjas McBaskeball.

Tonjas Mc basketball will not be out there.

I just need to get the name in.

Alvin Camara. Play him. Close your eyes, don't watch.

Correct?

Yeah.

I hope he gets more work in the receiving game. That was the only thing that was concerning. He looked good on the ground, had a great touchdown run and shockingly like his. His snap percentage blew me away. I thought this is the year where he's going to be like 50% of snaps but heavily involved in the receiving game. And it was like, nah. How about you play 80% of the snaps?

Camara, Olave. 13 targets.

I think Olave. I feel like you have to whisper it, but Olave, I. If you can buy him cheap, I.

Would find some start sits for me with Olave.

Well, how about him versus both the Dolphins and the Bears?

Guys I would play.

I feel like a lot of is a better play than the four of them.

I would chase the volume.

Okay, Buffalo is one and oh, they take on the Owen one. New York Jets. The jets, who have three starts of the week despite being six and a half point home underdogs. The over under is 46.

For the record, I have none of.

Them you would like it on record.

Yeah, noted.

How about your dynasty team? Do you have any of them?

I might have. Breeze Hall.

Yeah, we've got Fields, hall and Wilson. It's a consolidation in New York.

Yeah, it really is.

That's what makes you. And the fact that they can move the football and that Buffalo was willing to let people move the football on them. We did get the news that James Cook was limited with a hamstring injury on Wednesday, so we're monitoring that. Keon Coleman, still limited. He was dealing with the groin injury. They're going to protect him. I imagine he'll play. He played 94% of the team's routes. He only averaged 69% last year. And so Keon Coleman or Pittie City? After what you saw in week one from both of them, Keon Coleman was. He was really good.

They're both, I think, going to be 11 targets weekly. Important assets. That being said, Pittman against Denver will have a much more difficult week. So I would go Coleman here.

Jerry Judy against Baltimore. Keon Coleman. Mike.

Oh, man.

I think I'm really chasing Coleman.

I think I would go Coleman.

Not chasing him that much. Let's talk about a trade offer I made to Andy and see how you feel.

Okay, fine. Let's air it.

Yeah, let's air this out. It's not. So you've always hated Travis Etienne. Say he sucks.

Yeah.

We went into week one saying we're going to see who the starter is, but we're not going to overdo the production because it's Carolina. Sure. But then he's the running back three and he produced a lot.

I feel like we're really hard selling Travis etn.

Right?

Yeah.

This is him signing.

I'm trying to buy Travis etn.

Yeah.

Yes. I offered Keon Coleman the wide receiver, too, from last week.

Okay. And what else?

And Austin Eckler. Austin Eckler and Keon Coleman for Travis etn. Travis etn. How do you feel about that? That was the trade. That was the whole trade.

How loud was his laugh in your face?

Really? This. Wait, I want. So. So that means. Mike.

Yes.

Fantasy him and you believe I told.

You guys, I said I have to be in on etn. And that's.

Oh, that makes me feel so glad that that's on air.

I. I admit it. I admit when it's wrong.

Yeah, but you admitted it in Slack. Now it's on air.

No, I would. Yeah, I would have.

Yeah, I did turn it down. I did turn it down, Mike.

Yeah, I just.

I've got wide receivers. I needed. I needed a running back.

Yeah, that's part of the issue, too. Is everyone not that bad of an offer? Everyone needs.

You said to me, do I need running backs? You need wide receivers. That's why I. That's what started the whole thing.

I have. I have Dobbins and Chubb. If you want them, they're available.

Ah.

So, yes, I have quantity, but I would like the quality of ETN over those two guys.

Okay. If that was Chubb Hubbard, then yes, but it.

I. It is. It is a crying shame that it is not, because that name is awesome. Chuba is still a very great name.

Yes.

But if you could walk around saying my name is.

We'd have some good audio drops for that.

Fields, Hall, Wilson. Play them?

Yep.

Josh Allen. Of course. Keon. Yes. Kincaid. Do you buy in? Would you play Kincaid or Juwan? That was.

I played Juwan.

Frequently asked question.

I'd play Juwan. I would play Ferguson. I'd play Fannin.

Last year, the jets defense was real bad against. Or I guess that was last week. Last year they were very good against tight ends. Last week they were bad, but Kincaid. Yeah. The targets aren't going to be what Juwan's will be.

Four targets in a complete shootout.

Yeah. No, we got to move on from Kincaid as a guaranteed. You know.

Yeah. You can stream him.

Yeah. You're playing pits over him. Obviously, I would if James Cook was somehow out due to the hamstring. Is Ray Davis the play? Is it?

Yeah. If he was out, Ray Davis would be the play. I don't expect him to be out at all. He finished this game. This was a Wednesday. If he's. We'll. We'll see if he's.

If you have James Cook. Are you hitting the wire and picking up Ray Davis right now?

Personally, I mean, if I've got an extra roster spot, sure. But I'm probably not going to have someone on my roster I would be willing to drop for him if. If it. I mean, right now we'll find out soon before waivers run tomorrow. If James Cook. If he's, you know, not practicing on a Thursday. Yeah, I'm definitely making.

I'm with you that I believe that Cook does play. I'm just saying of the. Not just holistically, if he'll be limited today. Again, if your guy has a hamstring injury going into the weekend, would you prefer to put the. Because Ray Davis. If James Cook doesn't play, Ray Davis would be incredibly sought after.

Yeah. One more game here. Seattle Pittsburgh games in Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh is, oh, I don't know, the comeback win. Seattle, Owen 1. Pittsburgh is three point favorites, 39 and a half point over under. That is low. Very low. Two good defenses or at least supposed to be two good defenses.

Steelers defense is good anymore.

They certainly weren't against the jets last week. But they, I will say this, they have personnel to be good. They've got coaching to be good. So I do believe they'll get that figured out.

Yeah, it was, it was a really rough week one for the Pittsburgh defense. No question about that. Last year they were top half in fantasy. Points given up to quarterbacks, running backs, wide receivers. DK Metcalf was your start of the week. Jason Jackson, Smith and Jigba should be everybody. Start of the always seems like it. And when you look at the running back situation, this is when you kind of, you know, Jaylen Warren, I think probably is the running back you'd feel the safest with in a home matchup where you're favored of all. Of all the running backs on both sides.

Yes, but for sure.

But I mean, beyond that, you know, you're not playing anybody else in Pittsburgh. Kenneth Walker, I can't imagine anybody feels like there's nobody that feels good about putting him in their lineup this week.

No, it would be.

I'd play Charbonnet over him.

I think I would too.

I would play Charbonnet over him, but I'm not looking forward to playing Charbonne. I don't think he's going to this. This appears to be a 50, 50 spot.

I mean, Bruce hall had a good time and I found real good time last week.

Kenneth Walker is to me much more the Breeze hall style of back where it's like you get that little crease and then you go versus the Charbon. Charbonnet is more like the Braylon Allen type of backwards. I'm the big guy that's going to move the pile. So stylistically, Charbonnet's. I don't think he comps to Breeze. If looking at last week, I'm just.

Looking at the yards given up to running backs.

Matt Williamson had pointed this out on X that the Steelers have allowed 27.6 points per game since week 13 of last year.

Like, it's been total fantasy or like score, score. Oh, okay.

I'm saying of the like, are the Steelers still a good defense? I know that's not the, you know, like forever since week 13, but it's like that's a, that's a sample at the point where you have to start asking a question.

Well, to be fair, if you look at the schedule.

Yeah.

Who is Philly? Baltimore, Kansas City, Cincinnati.

Yeah, that's. That's tough.

So those are probably the four best offenses in football, but if you are.

If you're a great defense, that's not happening.

Well, this game, Seattle's only projected for 18.3 points and they're not missing a starting quarterback. You know what I mean? They have their full allotment of offensive weapons. So we'll see if this game ends up just disappointing for Fantasy all the way through. It kind of feels like it might. That's, you know, one week into the season, Seattle, they did a pretty good job on the defensive side against 5 to 20 defense.

What about John? Who? Smith.

I'm just watching.

Okay.

To see if he's more involved. People wanted us to talk about Calvin Austin's first week performance. They felt like we missed out on that on the waiver show.

He had a good performance. He seems like you're going to need a big play. Touchdown. You know, a similar stylistically player, not the body wise at all, but like Rashad Bateman, we're going to get a few targets. You're going to get a bomb or two. You could have a big play in a great fantasy day, but I think very low floor and this is a low over under. I'm not going to chase it here.

Yeah, he was 15.2 a catch last year. That's on the higher end. 17.5 in week one. That fits the Bateman style that you're talking about. Quick temperature check here on Sharbs. Would you play Sharbs or Dobbins against the Colts?

I've got Dobbins one spot ahead.

My. My gut says Dobbins.
