Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. It's Me Your Man, m G. Marcus
grand Joy by Michael left Florio and Lakwan Jones won
in Week ten. Fellas, we've officially made it to the
(00:21):
double digit weeks, means uh, we got we got five five,
five weeks of the fantasy regular season, enough that you
can count on one hand even Antonio Alfonseka, that's a
joke because he had six fingers. I'm sad nowhere, look
it up.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm saying this like this season is it's flying by
zooming blind.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Here we are, here, we are, We're past Halloween, We're
into November. So uh, the time is getting short for
you to make some moves in your fantasy football leagu
We're here to help because we've got our starts. In
six four Week ten, we get an aj Brown Vibes
check perhaps, plus we bolt up with the charge wide
ouse and got our bold predictions for the week. But guy,
as always, we do our starts and sits primarily here
(01:06):
on this show. You can read all about him on
the interwebs, and Michael le Florio writes him every week.
NFL dot Com slash starts sit where people generally read
them and have a very measured response, especially if somehow
you just maybe happen to get one wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You guys know this, like there's some weeks where your
calls are they don't work out, and the Internet make
sure you know about it. But like last week, I
had a tremendous week college wise, and I didn't get
a single tweet. I was like, come on everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, just the whole thing is just that's just how
it works. So we will try it again for yet
another week. So let's start with the quarterbacks. Who are
your starts and sits for Week ten?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I think Justin Herbert is in a great matchup this week,
even with a banged up Olna. I would trust him.
Matthew Stafford, to me, is a must play this week
against the forty nine ers. He's been red hot as
of late. I think Jackson Dart is a must play
against the Bears. I said it on the show earlier
this week, but only Alan Lamar and Mahomes have averaged
more Fantasy points per game since he's become the starter.
(02:04):
Caleb Williams, look, he's not going to give you what
he did last week, but it is a fantastic matchup
against the New York Giants. And then I think Jared
Goff right now, his touchdown rate would be the lowest
of his career. I think regression hits, and it usually
hits in a big way, and he has a fantastic
matchup this week. And in the six Daniel Jones is
a spicy one. But the Falcons have been a really
(02:25):
tough matchup for quarterbacks and they get after them at.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A very high rate.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Jordan Love has been so up and down, and the
Eagles are a tough matchup justin fields. The Browns are
not only really good against the past, they're great at
stopping running quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence. Just the Houston matchup is
so scary. And then JJ McCarthy. I think a lot
of people might lean into streaming him because of the
Ravens matchup, but they've been better as of late, and
(02:51):
I think this is something we've seen in the past.
After their bye, they kind of fix things up on defense.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, very interesting one there too. That's one. As I
was looking at and trying to come up with sleep,
it took a long look at that rate. It's my
saying game before I made a decision, Lakwan, let's start
on the start side of things. We leave this open
for you on the rundown so you can sort of
decide which guys you want to talk about. And on
Wednesday show, we said a lot of things about the
(03:17):
forty nine ers and we didn't say anything about the Rams,
and you were all in your feelings. So please, I
will open the space for you to hype up Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
First of all, you're going to respect mister MVP Hall
of Fame Legacy Tour this season, Matthew Stafford leading the
league and passing touchdowns. And listen, man, I understand it's
winers week, man. The tensions will be high, but I'm
very confident Matthew Stafford in starting lineups as a QB one.
I'm even willing to say that he will be a
top five quarterback this week. Man, you gotta have him
(03:48):
locked in. Don't question about it. Don't worry about what
happened last time these two teams met.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's in the past. I don't even understand what people
are talking about when they bring up a fumble on
the goal line. This is Matthew Stafford punishing game against
those forty winers because they got nobody on that defensive
line that is going to be able to get pressure
on it. So he's gonna be cool, calm and collected
and doing no look past his all game long?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Did I black out somewhere along the way, Like do
we ever disrespect Matthew Stafford on this show? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I said nothing but nice thing?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like I like saying VP before you say Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean this is I mean, it really is like
if somebody is not one hundred percent complimentary of like Beyonce,
then the beehive comes after you. It's like the same thing.
This is exactly what this is. And I'm bekay with
that comparison.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Talking yesterday after the show and I was like, yeah,
it's like Alan May, it's all out in front of
all these guys, Stafford and but it's just not the favorite,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Do you see the order that he said Stafford a
Stafford first and then Allen May.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You realize you realize the term Stan comes from an
eminem song, and you realize, do you remember what happens
to Stan at the end.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Of the song?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Off it, I'm just saying Stan didn't have a happy ending.
That's all I'm saying, So you know, just just keep
that in mind. Anyway, Let's let's turn the page through
the side of things, and we sort of talked about
this a little bit, right this Ravens Vikings game and
what we're doing there in terms of start, sit, sleepers,
or whatever. Are you feeling starting perhaps mister Jonathan James
(05:20):
McCarthy this.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Week, I didn't know his full name.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh man, you and the government names.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Marcus is great at this, he does the research. But man,
I'm looking at JJ McCarthy as a hot waiver wire
pick up this week. And I know a lot of
folks are probably wounded at the quarterback position, but I
am tempering my expectation that boys still only had one
hundred and forty three passing yards last week. I understand
he put up three touchdowns, which was great to see
Justin Jefferson find the end zone again. Boy, it was
(05:46):
a drought. But I do think JJ McCarthy against his
Ravens defense, Like Florio pointed out, they have been making
adjustments on defense. They've been getting better as the weeks
had progressed, and I think JJ is still wet behind
the Ears still figuring things out. So I don't take
this hot start that he had last week as a
guy that needs to be jumped into starting lineups.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I just think he's only thrown at twenty two times
per game. He's yet to have one hundred and sixty
passing yards. And it get granted, he's only had three
starts in his entire NFL career, but he's yet to
hit one hundred and sixty passing yards. The problem is
because the yardage totals are low. He's got to score touchdowns,
preferably rushing touchdowns, and he's got to avoid turnovers because
(06:27):
he's not giving you enough yardage wise to avoid those
minus or to mitigate those minus twos. That's the hard
part I think with JJ McCarthy right now. And as
you mentioned, Raven's defense has been better the last couple
of weeks. So just kind of something to pay attention to.
Start to running backs Florida, who do you like who
do you not like? This week?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It all depends on if DeAndre Swift players or not.
If Swift plays, he is a must start, and I
think Kyle Mcanunguy is then a flex option if Swift
is out Kyle Mcanunguy is a must start in this one.
I think Quinshaw Judkins is someone you should be in
your lot up. The only thing that could stop Judkins's
game script, and the Jets haven't had a multiscore lead
since Week one. Jalen Warren has just been getting so
(07:07):
much volume as of late that I think he is
in play. David Montgomery because I think the Lions put
up a lot of points against his defense. I think
they have a favorable game script and he is still
getting all the goal line work. And then the Patriots
is kind of similar to the Bears. If ramondre Stevenson plays,
I think he's in play. If not, I think Traveon
Henderson is in play against the Bucks, who will have
(07:28):
the most receiving yards to running backs. He had six
targets last week. They also allow a lot of yards
before contact and then some sits. Travis Etn He ran
really well last week, but the Texans are a really
tough matchup. Alvin Kamara, even in a favorable matchup against
the Panthers, I do not see how you could just
trust him right now. Jordan Mason, I'm really concerned about
(07:50):
him getting game scripted out because when they are trailing,
if they're passing a lot, it'll be Aaron Jones, Rashad White.
The Patriots have been elite against the run this year,
and then the Cardinals running backs. We don't know what
it's going to look like. And outside of the Patriots,
the Seahawks might be the best run defense in football.
So a couple of things on the start side there.
I know DeAndre Swift has said he's gonna be able
to go. He said he said he want to go
(08:11):
last week, and the team sort of held him out
as a precaution.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So play Swift, So play Swift. Although I do still
think Benung guy has a role in that off it
could be a flex. The other part of this, and
I peek behind the curtain because I write the Sleeper's
column and I put the names together on Sunday. I
actually write it fairly early in the week so it's
up and ready for Thursday. And I looked so hard
at that Patriots running back back and I'm like, I
don't know who's playing right because I'm like, I like,
I like whoever is going to start, Especially because the
(08:35):
Bucks have been bad against pass catching running backs. It
was hard for me to pick one because on Tuesday,
when I'm writing it, we had zero ideas who's going
to be played.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's why this week I included both, and I'm like,
kind of whichever one is the starter, you play exactly.
I didn't know who it was going to be when
I wrote it.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Jalen Warren though Lakwan I have some teams with Jaalen Warren.
I do have one or two teams with Kenneth Gainwell,
and I've been trying to just force him into lineups
because my situa has been poor. Your feelings on Jalen
Warren against the Chargers this week, I liked it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I want to echo being that last episode we've talked
about you know our sleepers. He is my snore likes.
This week, I'm expecting big numbers from him against this
Chargers defense where their weak point is on that outside
of zone run, and we know Arthur Smith the Fantasy
Streets boogey Man loves running that outside zone run. And
looking at this Chargers defense overall against running backs, they're
allowing the six most explosive runs to the running back
(09:27):
position this season at the second highest rate. Also, so
they're allowing a bunch of explosive plays where Jalen Warren
has beginning increased workload as the weeks have progressed. It
and we're looking at a guy right now that can
be able to put up a twenty burger.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
This week, which will be a fantasy high for my boy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So I'm locking him in, not soft seating him, locking
him all the way in this week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
All right, So we are in big time on Jalen Warren.
I'm on the other side Jordan Mason, and I mean again,
Florida is sort of the same thing, right with that
Ravens Vikings matchup, just kind of it's a hard one
to kind of figure out a little bit. Lakwan, you've
been a big Jordan Mason guy. Yeah. I put him
(10:10):
in as a sleeper potential candidate. I don't feel great
about it. Yeah, you can. You either validate or deny
my my concerns. No, I cannot.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I mean, given with the opportunity to getting by Aaron Jones,
and I feel like now we're looking at a guy
that's getting less than five Fantasy points in the last
two games, and Aaron Jones he was crazy efficient last game.
I don't know if that was just like one of
those games that he had his freaking space jam powers
giving back to him being so efficient. But I don't
think that's sustainable. But I do think Jordan Mason's gonna
(10:42):
have to deal with Aaron Jones in front of him
when it comes to those valuable touches because we know
Aaron Jones is still going to be able to go
out of that backfield and participate in the passing game.
That's not really Jordan Mason's game. And even given when
Aaron Jones was out, we didn't really get RB one
type of numbers consistently from Jordan Mason. So I'm a
little worried about the actual production out of Jordan Mason,
the fantasy output we're going to be getting now that
(11:04):
Aaron Jones is back. And we also have to remember
this Viking Zoe line has not been great for these
running backs at all. So this is a matchup this
week I'm looking to get away from just like how
Florio has them, but that big red Ax as a
sit this week.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
We had one big game out of Jordan Mason when
Aaron Jones was gone, and after that it's been just
kind of mid the rest of the way. I don't
think Aaron Jones has been great either this year. No,
he's just the guy getting the volume. He's the guy
getting the first crack at things.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It sounds weird, but if Lamar wasn't playing, I'd be
more in on Jordan Mason. But we know the Ravens
are gonna put up points, and then when if the
Vikings are in ketchup mode, that's when Jones comes in.
In my opinion, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's just like its generally unsatisfying situation. I think all
the way around, he's on the drop watch. That's not great.
All right, we'll get back to a little more starts
and sits in just a bit, But want to take
a look at what's going on. You're in week ten
as we look at the Sunday night contest between the
(12:05):
Steelers and the Chargers that'll be played right next door
to where we are here at Sofi Stadium, in this
court to the friends at Caesars Sports Book, the first
to score odds combining Vidal has the first odds, the
best odds, I should say, followed by Jalen Warren, DK Metcalf,
then a couple of Chargers receivers with Ladd McConkie and
Keenan Allen. For when you look at this, let's you
(12:28):
see McConkie and Allen down there with the odds to score.
No Quinton Johnston. But if you were going to rank
the Chargers receivers this week, what order would you put
them in?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Aladd is one for me because he's been getting the
most consistent volume and being the most productive consistently week
to week the last five weeks plus. The Steelers play
man at an above average rate, and LADDI McConkie thrives
against man coverage. Surprisingly enough, though, I think number two
this week is Quintin Johnston because the Steelers have struggled
against out wide wide receivers and they have struggled down
(12:59):
for field against the deep ball with wide receivers. That
is Quinton Johnson's role in this offense. So I think
he's always a boomer bus option right now. But Keenan
has kind of just been off floor. I think he
is a safer play, but I would take the upside
swing on Quentin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I think if you were Look, if I'm putting
together at DFS lineup, I'm gonna put Quint Johnston in
there just because you know, maybe he pops a couple
of big ones and he scores a touchdown for that one.
So when we come back, we'll take a look at
Monday Night Football. Plus we got starts and sits for
wide receivers and tight ends and some bolt predictions for
Week ten. That's all coming up here on the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. Continuing on with the Week ten previews
(13:43):
Monday Night Football. The Eagles had the green blay Bay
Green Bay. I can say that to take on the
Green Bay Packers. You can see that of course on ESPN,
ABC and ESPN Deportes in some platforms. H. Meanwhile, Lakwan
AJ Brown vibes he didn't get traded. He's been sort
of up and down all year long. How we feeling
(14:04):
about him against Green Bay?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Hey vibe Cheker checking in on AJ Brown and I
understand this. The Eagles could be coming out of this
by as a different team. I say that now because
Saquon Barkley has been reported banged up, So this could
be a focal point where they have to get the
passing game going if they're not going to be able
to roll out a full healthy Saquon Barkley, and we
see these clips. It's been an up and down year,
(14:27):
but AJ Brown is still AJ Brown. He is still
Swole Batman. He's still one of the most physical downfield
wide receivers that's going up against his Packers defense that
they're gonna be challenged. They're gonna be one of those
defenses that are going to have to keep their eye
on swoll Batman and skinny Batman. So I do think
this team coming out of the by they're going to
readjust like how they always do. They adapt and kill
(14:48):
all narratives that we always put on these Eagles teams.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
AJ Brown's gonna either get you like one hundred and
fifteen yards in a touchdown or he'll get you like
twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Like.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's kind of how it's been me as somebody who
drafted probably more AJ Brown than he's comfortable with. That's
how it's amazing about to say that might have been
all of us this summer.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think we're high on.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He's so undervalued. Why is it going so late right now?
It's like, oh, maybe maybe people knew all right. Anyway,
speaking of wide receiver, let's get back to the starts
and sits Florio your starts and sits at the wide
opposition as acts.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
By you guys. On Monday, you said n Nego Collins not
too obvious this week, so I included an ego Collins
who goes off every time he plays the Jaguars already
spoke about Lad McConkey. I think Roma Dunesa has a
bounce back week. I think DJ Moore's been more involved
as of late. So both of them are in play
in a good matchup. Khalil Shakir has a very safe
floor and just a history of success in this matchup.
(15:45):
And then Wando Robinson getting a ton of volume and
it is a good matchup against the Bears. Some spicy
sits DK Metcalf because if you covered up his name,
he is not living up to the hype. He's averaging
less than six targets per game career low in air yards.
That one long catch and run he had in Dublin
is like fifteen percent of his Fantasy points on the year.
(16:08):
Then I have chrys Olave who won didn't show the
best chemistry with Tyler Schuck. The Panthers are a really
tough match with They're in the bottom five and Fantasy
points allowed to receivers. Deebo. He's been struggling with Marcus
Mariota this year. Just one of his three good one
game out of three have been good for him in
Fantasy Jordan Addison because like you were saying, Marcus, there's
(16:29):
not a lot of yards there with JJ McCarthy, so
you're really hoping for a touchdown. And then Jacoby Myers,
I know, he got traded. I literally had him as
a sit with the Raiders, and when he got traded,
I was like, yeah, I'm gonna keep Jacoby Myers in
as he sit.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I think the only thing that helps Jacoby Myers potentially
is volume, just because Travis Hunter is hurt and Brian
Thomas Junior, I know, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday,
and it doesn't look like so Volume might win, but
the matchup is bad for Jacoby Myers. I'm we talk
about the Squeaky Wheel game, right when when wide receives
complain and then they get a whole bunch of targets,
(17:02):
does that count if a player's dad goes on social
media and complaints asking for Romo Dunza.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Listen, that is one of the most craziest things that
we have now with the Internet, that our fathers, our
parents can get on the Internet and voice their opinions,
because like I've know my times of playing soccer at
Hilton High West, my mom was on the sideline and
had some thoughts about the coach in my playing time
and actual ability in the middle of the field, but
she didn't go on the internet voice her opinions. But
(17:30):
Roma Dunza having zero catches last week, I would be
that parent crashing out, like what is happening? Why does
the quarterback have more catches than my son? That does
not make sense, especially when it's coming from the guy
that's supposed to be throwing in the ball. But when
I look at this man, there has to be a
bounce back week for Adonza. Ben Johnson has to see that.
To me, he has to see Roma Doonsay with three
(17:52):
targets and zero catches last week and be like, no,
this cannot happen again. But the good thing is that
we're seeing more of DJ Moore last week was kind
of eye popping of like how many times he's being
targeted on each of his routes, making his routes valuable
as a guy that you can now rely on as
a flex play at that very least. So I do
like this week for a bounce back and maybe even
(18:13):
more building on that resume of being trusted for DJ
Moore as we approach some trade deadlines and some fantasy
leagues and the playoffs will be here before we know it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I mean, look, key, We've talked about it. DJ Moore
has been one of the bigger disappointments in fantasy football
this year.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Some signs of life the last two games at least,
that has kind of been nice.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah. On the other side, let's go down to New
Orleans LQ and or should she got got traded to Seattle?
Tyler Shuck is now the quarterback. I know Chris o'lavey
was starting to pop his head out of the satchel
of discontent. I would imagine he is sinking toward the
bottom again.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, he went back in and say, no, what I
forgot some I forgot I forgot the lot more. But
that that has been an issue, you know that I
was really worried about with Tyler Shuck coming in with Spencer.
If you watch some of his snaps in his drawbacks,
he's giving his receiver chances to make the big plays.
Tyler Shuck's coming in very conservative kind of off looking
his number one wide receiver. You don't have Rashietshi there anymore.
(19:12):
So I think Chris o' lobby's nosedive is not really
anything of surprise, being that they made a quarterback change
and the Panthers defense man, you better put some respect
on their name. They have been a defense that you
have to fear on the back end of this secondary.
So I do think Chris o' lobby is a risky
start this week. So obviously, with Tyler Schuck being the
starting quarterback for the rest of the week, I don't
(19:33):
really feel optimistic about this New Orleans offense moving forward
for the rest of the fantasy season.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah. I mean, at least occasionally you get Spencer Raller
taking some shots downfield. I want to see more of
that out of Tyler's Shuck. Yeah, maybe it happens. I'm
gonna let Chris o' lobby be somebody else's headache at
this point last, but not at least on the start
sit front. The tight ends, we know the bar is
low for tight ends success. Who do you like? Who
(19:58):
do you not like?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Gatz and everyone should be starting him by now, except
for his dad. O'klan has continued to show us that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Has led to good things for his son in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Dawnkin Kate is the first Bills tight end with multiple
one hundred yard games in the same season in like
fifty years, and he has a history of success against
the Dolphins. Kyle Pitts. I think Kyle Pitts has become
fantasy relevant again. He's the leading target getter for the
Falcons in the last three games combined. Favoral matchup against
the Colts Colson Lovelin. I think the hope is that
(20:30):
last week was a sign of things to come and
he gets more opportunity. And then Dalton Schultz to me
is my favorite streaming tight end in a week where
there's good streaming tight end options. I wrote about some
streamers in the article as well, if you want to
go check that out. And then the six David and Joku.
I think Carold Fanon Junior has surpassed him as the
tight end won there. Dj Hockinson a theme I'm trying
(20:51):
to avoid this trap that I think it is for
the Vikings. Mason Taylor, He's been volume dependent, but it
looks like Garat Wilson will be back now. Tough match
against the Browns defense and then Luke Musgrave. I get
it if you lost Tucker Kraft and you picked him up,
but I want to see it first, and especially not
in this matchuphere. The Eagles have allowed the third few
is fantasy points to tight ends.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
If you want a pulse check on the state of
tight end, Kyle Pitts is averaging forty seven yards per game.
He hasn't had a game with eighty receiving yards. He
has one touchdown all year. He's the tight end twelve.
That's where nice, That's what fantasy tight end is like.
But I'm a Colston Loveland real quick Lakwan because had
(21:32):
the big breakout game last week. Cole Kamett is injured
and start to phase out of the offense. Are we
getting to a point where we start talking about Cole
Commett more regularly in this Bears attack?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I think so, And like, honestly, again it's the Bengals,
I get it. What we're really looking at is the
opportunities that are being strapped to Colston Loveland in these
last two games. Like I get nine times out of
ten that game winning touchdown. Most defenses are going to
make that tackle. But I'm paying attention to the routes.
Sixty routes and back to back games thirty routes, thirty routes,
and these are all season highs for him, So he's
(22:04):
getting on the field. Cole Kmet has been injured for
some time. I been banged up these last couple of
weeks with a concussion just out of the way, and
for the rest of the season, I don't see Cole
Komet getting much involved in this offense where you have
Coleston Loveland blossoming into this rookie tight end that a
lot of folks were really depending on to hit the
ground running in the beginning of the season. But like
(22:24):
Marcus how You pointed out on yesterday's episode, he started
the season banged up. A lot of people forget about that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, I mean he was not healthy coming into the year.
I think was not healthy really through his final year
in college too. So I'm maybe finally starting to get right.
And look, we've talked about this, you get that by
week rookie bump, they finally get a chance to sort
of relax and rest and kind of figure things out.
A little bit, so maybe all this is working in
Loveland's favor. On the other side, speaking of your rookie
tight ends, ok we've been trying to make Mason Taylor
(22:53):
a thing for a while. It's been, uh, how were
we feeling about it? As the Browns right now?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
That's basically the take right there.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It's has been like, I really don't understand, you know,
the need and want to have Mason Taylor in starting lineups,
like this is still a Jets offense that doesn't really
understand their identity of it. And I think Justin Fields
were strapping to Mason Taylor as a guy that can
elevate the tight end position like he's had in the
past with his time in Chicago. But I look at
(23:22):
this as he is still a project to trust in
starting lineups. But real quickly, I want to make a
note to another sit that Florio has. It's TJ Hockinson. Okay, now,
Ronde Gaskins is a start for Florio this week. But
listen to this starting sit podcast or this show right here,
Ronde Gaskin. If you've senior you are listening, continue on
starting TJ Howkinson. Okay, that's the other tight end that
(23:44):
he is starting instead of his son right now, So
go ahead and put TJ. Hawkson back into your starting
lineup and put your son right back on that bench
so we can all thrive and prosper for the rest
of the fantasy seasons.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Take one for the team. You got to help us
all out. Sometimes the yeah man, the needs of a
mini outweigh the needs of the one, So help us
out with that. So there you go. Those are the
starts and says. For more in depth analysis, you can
go to NFL dot com slash starts, sit and see
everything that Michael f Florio wrote and snooze off. Game

(24:15):
first time as the Falcons square off against the Colts

(24:37):
signed for our spicy hot takes. For Week ten, Lakwan
starts off get a little bit spicy all right now.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
A lot of the rookie tight end talk have been
Colston Love in these last two weeks, but the love
is going to Tyler Warren and my bolt take against
one of his tough of battles all season long, against
the Falcons, who are allowing three fantasy points for a
game to the tight end position. I got Tyler Warren
putting up season high twenty five plus fantasy points in
this matchup overseas. I understand that the matchup and all
(25:06):
the odds are against him, but Tyler Warren has something
to say about this tight end rookie love that's been
going to Loveland theast couple of days.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I mean, he has been the tight end of record
from the rookie class so far this season. Florio, you're
a hot take for the week. I'm going with Jared Goff.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was talking about it earlier that right now it
is his career low touchdown rate. I think regression hits
and its name is the Commanders. So for me, I
think Jared Goff is going to throw five touchdowns this
week going up against the Commanders, who've allowed the fourth
most touchdown passes on the year. And the most in
(25:41):
the last month. Speed has killed them. The Lions have
a lot of speed, so you have usually regression hits
kind of all at once. This feels to me like a.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Regression game for golf. I'm particularly big on Jared Goff
this week. I'm also particularly big on Rashid s going
from New Orleans to Seattle. I will admit this is
heavily vibes based, but I do think Rashi Chhahed scores
two touchdowns in his Seattle debut. If you want a
little bit of stats for it, it is a situation
where you got Sam Darnold, who's been one of the
(26:11):
best deep ball throwers in the league this year. He
has the highest completion percentage over expectation on deep balls
this year over any other NFL starting quarterback. You got
Rashichi Heed, who's one of the best deep ball trackers
in the league. That seems like a match made in
fantasy heaven. Plus, if you're the Seahawks, why not announce
your presence to the rest of the league by saying
(26:33):
you got another weapon to compliment Jackson Smith in JIGBA.
There so big game coming forward Rashid Shaheed this week
in the meantime for us, that is it. We are done.
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.
You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two
friends rate review and remember, hope to reach an age
where your back goes out more than you do. Be safe,
take care of yourselves. Enjoy Week ten everybody, and we'll
(26:55):
talk to you again on Monday. Don't Bob, don't no
Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. It's Me Your Man, m G. Marcus
grand Joy by Michael left Florio and Lakwan Jones won
in Week ten. Fellas, we've officially made it to the
(00:21):
double digit weeks, means uh, we got we got five five,
five weeks of the fantasy regular season, enough that you
can count on one hand even Antonio Alfonseka, that's a
joke because he had six fingers. I'm sad nowhere, look
it up.
Speaker 2 (00:39):
I'm saying this like this season is it's flying by
zooming blind.
Speaker 1 (00:45):
Here we are, here, we are, We're past Halloween, We're
into November. So uh, the time is getting short for
you to make some moves in your fantasy football leagu
We're here to help because we've got our starts. In
six four Week ten, we get an aj Brown Vibes
check perhaps, plus we bolt up with the charge wide
ouse and got our bold predictions for the week. But guy,
as always, we do our starts and sits primarily here
(01:06):
on this show. You can read all about him on
the interwebs, and Michael le Florio writes him every week.
NFL dot Com slash starts sit where people generally read
them and have a very measured response, especially if somehow
you just maybe happen to get one wrong.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
You guys know this, like there's some weeks where your
calls are they don't work out, and the Internet make
sure you know about it. But like last week, I
had a tremendous week college wise, and I didn't get
a single tweet. I was like, come on everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:33):
Yeah, just the whole thing is just that's just how
it works. So we will try it again for yet
another week. So let's start with the quarterbacks. Who are
your starts and sits for Week ten?
Speaker 2 (01:42):
I think Justin Herbert is in a great matchup this week,
even with a banged up Olna. I would trust him.
Matthew Stafford, to me, is a must play this week
against the forty nine ers. He's been red hot as
of late. I think Jackson Dart is a must play
against the Bears. I said it on the show earlier
this week, but only Alan Lamar and Mahomes have averaged
more Fantasy points per game since he's become the starter.
(02:04):
Caleb Williams, look, he's not going to give you what
he did last week, but it is a fantastic matchup
against the New York Giants. And then I think Jared
Goff right now, his touchdown rate would be the lowest
of his career. I think regression hits, and it usually
hits in a big way, and he has a fantastic
matchup this week. And in the six Daniel Jones is
a spicy one. But the Falcons have been a really
(02:25):
tough matchup for quarterbacks and they get after them at.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
A very high rate.
Speaker 2 (02:30):
Jordan Love has been so up and down, and the
Eagles are a tough matchup justin fields. The Browns are
not only really good against the past, they're great at
stopping running quarterbacks. Trevor Lawrence. Just the Houston matchup is
so scary. And then JJ McCarthy. I think a lot
of people might lean into streaming him because of the
Ravens matchup, but they've been better as of late, and
(02:51):
I think this is something we've seen in the past.
After their bye, they kind of fix things up on defense.
Speaker 1 (02:55):
Yeah, very interesting one there too. That's one. As I
was looking at and trying to come up with sleep,
it took a long look at that rate. It's my
saying game before I made a decision, Lakwan, let's start
on the start side of things. We leave this open
for you on the rundown so you can sort of
decide which guys you want to talk about. And on
Wednesday show, we said a lot of things about the
(03:17):
forty nine ers and we didn't say anything about the Rams,
and you were all in your feelings. So please, I
will open the space for you to hype up Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
First of all, you're going to respect mister MVP Hall
of Fame Legacy Tour this season, Matthew Stafford leading the
league and passing touchdowns. And listen, man, I understand it's
winers week, man. The tensions will be high, but I'm
very confident Matthew Stafford in starting lineups as a QB one.
I'm even willing to say that he will be a
top five quarterback this week. Man, you gotta have him
(03:48):
locked in. Don't question about it. Don't worry about what
happened last time these two teams met.
Speaker 1 (03:53):
I forgot about it.
Speaker 3 (03:54):
It's in the past. I don't even understand what people
are talking about when they bring up a fumble on
the goal line. This is Matthew Stafford punishing game against
those forty winers because they got nobody on that defensive
line that is going to be able to get pressure
on it. So he's gonna be cool, calm and collected
and doing no look past his all game long?
Speaker 1 (04:12):
Did I black out somewhere along the way, Like do
we ever disrespect Matthew Stafford on this show? Right?
Speaker 2 (04:18):
I said nothing but nice thing?
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Like I like saying VP before you say Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 1 (04:24):
I mean this is I mean, it really is like
if somebody is not one hundred percent complimentary of like Beyonce,
then the beehive comes after you. It's like the same thing.
This is exactly what this is. And I'm bekay with
that comparison.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
Talking yesterday after the show and I was like, yeah,
it's like Alan May, it's all out in front of
all these guys, Stafford and but it's just not the favorite,
that's all.
Speaker 3 (04:42):
Do you see the order that he said Stafford a
Stafford first and then Allen May.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
You realize you realize the term Stan comes from an
eminem song, and you realize, do you remember what happens
to Stan at the end.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Of the song?
Speaker 1 (04:57):
Off it, I'm just saying Stan didn't have a happy ending.
That's all I'm saying, So you know, just just keep
that in mind. Anyway, Let's let's turn the page through
the side of things, and we sort of talked about
this a little bit, right this Ravens Vikings game and
what we're doing there in terms of start, sit, sleepers,
or whatever. Are you feeling starting perhaps mister Jonathan James
(05:20):
McCarthy this.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Week, I didn't know his full name.
Speaker 1 (05:23):
Oh man, you and the government names.
Speaker 3 (05:24):
Marcus is great at this, he does the research. But man,
I'm looking at JJ McCarthy as a hot waiver wire
pick up this week. And I know a lot of
folks are probably wounded at the quarterback position, but I
am tempering my expectation that boys still only had one
hundred and forty three passing yards last week. I understand
he put up three touchdowns, which was great to see
Justin Jefferson find the end zone again. Boy, it was
(05:46):
a drought. But I do think JJ McCarthy against his
Ravens defense, Like Florio pointed out, they have been making
adjustments on defense. They've been getting better as the weeks
had progressed, and I think JJ is still wet behind
the Ears still figuring things out. So I don't take
this hot start that he had last week as a
guy that needs to be jumped into starting lineups.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
I just think he's only thrown at twenty two times
per game. He's yet to have one hundred and sixty
passing yards. And it get granted, he's only had three
starts in his entire NFL career, but he's yet to
hit one hundred and sixty passing yards. The problem is
because the yardage totals are low. He's got to score touchdowns,
preferably rushing touchdowns, and he's got to avoid turnovers because
(06:27):
he's not giving you enough yardage wise to avoid those
minus or to mitigate those minus twos. That's the hard
part I think with JJ McCarthy right now. And as
you mentioned, Raven's defense has been better the last couple
of weeks. So just kind of something to pay attention to.
Start to running backs Florida, who do you like who
do you not like? This week?
Speaker 2 (06:45):
It all depends on if DeAndre Swift players or not.
If Swift plays, he is a must start, and I
think Kyle Mcanunguy is then a flex option if Swift
is out Kyle Mcanunguy is a must start in this one.
I think Quinshaw Judkins is someone you should be in
your lot up. The only thing that could stop Judkins's
game script, and the Jets haven't had a multiscore lead
since Week one. Jalen Warren has just been getting so
(07:07):
much volume as of late that I think he is
in play. David Montgomery because I think the Lions put
up a lot of points against his defense. I think
they have a favorable game script and he is still
getting all the goal line work. And then the Patriots
is kind of similar to the Bears. If ramondre Stevenson plays,
I think he's in play. If not, I think Traveon
Henderson is in play against the Bucks, who will have
(07:28):
the most receiving yards to running backs. He had six
targets last week. They also allow a lot of yards
before contact and then some sits. Travis Etn He ran
really well last week, but the Texans are a really
tough matchup. Alvin Kamara, even in a favorable matchup against
the Panthers, I do not see how you could just
trust him right now. Jordan Mason, I'm really concerned about
(07:50):
him getting game scripted out because when they are trailing,
if they're passing a lot, it'll be Aaron Jones, Rashad White.
The Patriots have been elite against the run this year,
and then the Cardinals running backs. We don't know what
it's going to look like. And outside of the Patriots,
the Seahawks might be the best run defense in football.
So a couple of things on the start side there.
I know DeAndre Swift has said he's gonna be able
to go. He said he said he want to go
(08:11):
last week, and the team sort of held him out
as a precaution.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
So play Swift, So play Swift. Although I do still
think Benung guy has a role in that off it
could be a flex. The other part of this, and
I peek behind the curtain because I write the Sleeper's
column and I put the names together on Sunday. I
actually write it fairly early in the week so it's
up and ready for Thursday. And I looked so hard
at that Patriots running back back and I'm like, I
don't know who's playing right because I'm like, I like,
I like whoever is going to start, Especially because the
(08:35):
Bucks have been bad against pass catching running backs. It
was hard for me to pick one because on Tuesday,
when I'm writing it, we had zero ideas who's going
to be played.
Speaker 2 (08:43):
That's why this week I included both, and I'm like,
kind of whichever one is the starter, you play exactly.
I didn't know who it was going to be when
I wrote it.
Speaker 1 (08:51):
Jalen Warren though Lakwan I have some teams with Jaalen Warren.
I do have one or two teams with Kenneth Gainwell,
and I've been trying to just force him into lineups
because my situa has been poor. Your feelings on Jalen
Warren against the Chargers this week, I liked it.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
I want to echo being that last episode we've talked
about you know our sleepers. He is my snore likes.
This week, I'm expecting big numbers from him against this
Chargers defense where their weak point is on that outside
of zone run, and we know Arthur Smith the Fantasy
Streets boogey Man loves running that outside zone run. And
looking at this Chargers defense overall against running backs, they're
allowing the six most explosive runs to the running back
(09:27):
position this season at the second highest rate. Also, so
they're allowing a bunch of explosive plays where Jalen Warren
has beginning increased workload as the weeks have progressed. It
and we're looking at a guy right now that can
be able to put up a twenty burger.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
This week, which will be a fantasy high for my boy.
Speaker 3 (09:42):
So I'm locking him in, not soft seating him, locking
him all the way in this week.
Speaker 1 (09:47):
All right, So we are in big time on Jalen Warren.
I'm on the other side Jordan Mason, and I mean again,
Florida is sort of the same thing, right with that
Ravens Vikings matchup, just kind of it's a hard one
to kind of figure out a little bit. Lakwan, you've
been a big Jordan Mason guy. Yeah. I put him
(10:10):
in as a sleeper potential candidate. I don't feel great
about it. Yeah, you can. You either validate or deny
my my concerns. No, I cannot.
Speaker 3 (10:19):
I mean, given with the opportunity to getting by Aaron Jones,
and I feel like now we're looking at a guy
that's getting less than five Fantasy points in the last
two games, and Aaron Jones he was crazy efficient last game.
I don't know if that was just like one of
those games that he had his freaking space jam powers
giving back to him being so efficient. But I don't
think that's sustainable. But I do think Jordan Mason's gonna
(10:42):
have to deal with Aaron Jones in front of him
when it comes to those valuable touches because we know
Aaron Jones is still going to be able to go
out of that backfield and participate in the passing game.
That's not really Jordan Mason's game. And even given when
Aaron Jones was out, we didn't really get RB one
type of numbers consistently from Jordan Mason. So I'm a
little worried about the actual production out of Jordan Mason,
the fantasy output we're going to be getting now that
(11:04):
Aaron Jones is back. And we also have to remember
this Viking Zoe line has not been great for these
running backs at all. So this is a matchup this
week I'm looking to get away from just like how
Florio has them, but that big red Ax as a
sit this week.
Speaker 1 (11:17):
We had one big game out of Jordan Mason when
Aaron Jones was gone, and after that it's been just
kind of mid the rest of the way. I don't
think Aaron Jones has been great either this year. No,
he's just the guy getting the volume. He's the guy
getting the first crack at things.
Speaker 2 (11:33):
It sounds weird, but if Lamar wasn't playing, I'd be
more in on Jordan Mason. But we know the Ravens
are gonna put up points, and then when if the
Vikings are in ketchup mode, that's when Jones comes in.
In my opinion, Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
It's just like its generally unsatisfying situation. I think all
the way around, he's on the drop watch. That's not great.
All right, we'll get back to a little more starts
and sits in just a bit, But want to take
a look at what's going on. You're in week ten
as we look at the Sunday night contest between the
(12:05):
Steelers and the Chargers that'll be played right next door
to where we are here at Sofi Stadium, in this
court to the friends at Caesars Sports Book, the first
to score odds combining Vidal has the first odds, the
best odds, I should say, followed by Jalen Warren, DK Metcalf,
then a couple of Chargers receivers with Ladd McConkie and
Keenan Allen. For when you look at this, let's you
(12:28):
see McConkie and Allen down there with the odds to score.
No Quinton Johnston. But if you were going to rank
the Chargers receivers this week, what order would you put
them in?
Speaker 2 (12:37):
Aladd is one for me because he's been getting the
most consistent volume and being the most productive consistently week
to week the last five weeks plus. The Steelers play
man at an above average rate, and LADDI McConkie thrives
against man coverage. Surprisingly enough, though, I think number two
this week is Quintin Johnston because the Steelers have struggled
against out wide wide receivers and they have struggled down
(12:59):
for field against the deep ball with wide receivers. That
is Quinton Johnson's role in this offense. So I think
he's always a boomer bus option right now. But Keenan
has kind of just been off floor. I think he
is a safer play, but I would take the upside
swing on Quentin Johnson.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Yeah, I think if you were Look, if I'm putting
together at DFS lineup, I'm gonna put Quint Johnston in
there just because you know, maybe he pops a couple
of big ones and he scores a touchdown for that one.
So when we come back, we'll take a look at
Monday Night Football. Plus we got starts and sits for
wide receivers and tight ends and some bolt predictions for
Week ten. That's all coming up here on the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. Continuing on with the Week ten previews
(13:43):
Monday Night Football. The Eagles had the green blay Bay
Green Bay. I can say that to take on the
Green Bay Packers. You can see that of course on ESPN,
ABC and ESPN Deportes in some platforms. H. Meanwhile, Lakwan
AJ Brown vibes he didn't get traded. He's been sort
of up and down all year long. How we feeling
(14:04):
about him against Green Bay?
Speaker 3 (14:07):
Hey vibe Cheker checking in on AJ Brown and I
understand this. The Eagles could be coming out of this
by as a different team. I say that now because
Saquon Barkley has been reported banged up, So this could
be a focal point where they have to get the
passing game going if they're not going to be able
to roll out a full healthy Saquon Barkley, and we
see these clips. It's been an up and down year,
(14:27):
but AJ Brown is still AJ Brown. He is still
Swole Batman. He's still one of the most physical downfield
wide receivers that's going up against his Packers defense that
they're gonna be challenged. They're gonna be one of those
defenses that are going to have to keep their eye
on swoll Batman and skinny Batman. So I do think
this team coming out of the by they're going to
readjust like how they always do. They adapt and kill
(14:48):
all narratives that we always put on these Eagles teams.
Speaker 1 (14:51):
AJ Brown's gonna either get you like one hundred and
fifteen yards in a touchdown or he'll get you like
twenty seven.
Speaker 2 (14:57):
Like.
Speaker 1 (14:58):
That's kind of how it's been me as somebody who
drafted probably more AJ Brown than he's comfortable with. That's
how it's amazing about to say that might have been
all of us this summer.
Speaker 2 (15:09):
I think we're high on.
Speaker 1 (15:10):
He's so undervalued. Why is it going so late right now?
It's like, oh, maybe maybe people knew all right. Anyway,
speaking of wide receiver, let's get back to the starts
and sits Florio your starts and sits at the wide
opposition as acts.
Speaker 2 (15:23):
By you guys. On Monday, you said n Nego Collins not
too obvious this week, so I included an ego Collins
who goes off every time he plays the Jaguars already
spoke about Lad McConkey. I think Roma Dunesa has a
bounce back week. I think DJ Moore's been more involved
as of late. So both of them are in play
in a good matchup. Khalil Shakir has a very safe
floor and just a history of success in this matchup.
(15:45):
And then Wando Robinson getting a ton of volume and
it is a good matchup against the Bears. Some spicy
sits DK Metcalf because if you covered up his name,
he is not living up to the hype. He's averaging
less than six targets per game career low in air yards.
That one long catch and run he had in Dublin
is like fifteen percent of his Fantasy points on the year.
(16:08):
Then I have chrys Olave who won didn't show the
best chemistry with Tyler Schuck. The Panthers are a really
tough match with They're in the bottom five and Fantasy
points allowed to receivers. Deebo. He's been struggling with Marcus
Mariota this year. Just one of his three good one
game out of three have been good for him in
Fantasy Jordan Addison because like you were saying, Marcus, there's
(16:29):
not a lot of yards there with JJ McCarthy, so
you're really hoping for a touchdown. And then Jacoby Myers,
I know, he got traded. I literally had him as
a sit with the Raiders, and when he got traded,
I was like, yeah, I'm gonna keep Jacoby Myers in
as he sit.
Speaker 1 (16:41):
I think the only thing that helps Jacoby Myers potentially
is volume, just because Travis Hunter is hurt and Brian
Thomas Junior, I know, did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday,
and it doesn't look like so Volume might win, but
the matchup is bad for Jacoby Myers. I'm we talk
about the Squeaky Wheel game, right when when wide receives
complain and then they get a whole bunch of targets,
(17:02):
does that count if a player's dad goes on social
media and complaints asking for Romo Dunza.
Speaker 3 (17:09):
Listen, that is one of the most craziest things that
we have now with the Internet, that our fathers, our
parents can get on the Internet and voice their opinions,
because like I've know my times of playing soccer at
Hilton High West, my mom was on the sideline and
had some thoughts about the coach in my playing time
and actual ability in the middle of the field, but
she didn't go on the internet voice her opinions. But
(17:30):
Roma Dunza having zero catches last week, I would be
that parent crashing out, like what is happening? Why does
the quarterback have more catches than my son? That does
not make sense, especially when it's coming from the guy
that's supposed to be throwing in the ball. But when
I look at this man, there has to be a
bounce back week for Adonza. Ben Johnson has to see that.
To me, he has to see Roma Doonsay with three
(17:52):
targets and zero catches last week and be like, no,
this cannot happen again. But the good thing is that
we're seeing more of DJ Moore last week was kind
of eye popping of like how many times he's being
targeted on each of his routes, making his routes valuable
as a guy that you can now rely on as
a flex play at that very least. So I do
like this week for a bounce back and maybe even
(18:13):
more building on that resume of being trusted for DJ
Moore as we approach some trade deadlines and some fantasy
leagues and the playoffs will be here before we know it.
Speaker 1 (18:22):
I mean, look, key, We've talked about it. DJ Moore
has been one of the bigger disappointments in fantasy football
this year.
Speaker 2 (18:28):
Some signs of life the last two games at least,
that has kind of been nice.
Speaker 1 (18:31):
Yeah. On the other side, let's go down to New
Orleans LQ and or should she got got traded to Seattle?
Tyler Shuck is now the quarterback. I know Chris o'lavey
was starting to pop his head out of the satchel
of discontent. I would imagine he is sinking toward the
bottom again.
Speaker 3 (18:50):
Yeah, he went back in and say, no, what I
forgot some I forgot I forgot the lot more. But
that that has been an issue, you know that I
was really worried about with Tyler Shuck coming in with Spencer.
If you watch some of his snaps in his drawbacks,
he's giving his receiver chances to make the big plays.
Tyler Shuck's coming in very conservative kind of off looking
his number one wide receiver. You don't have Rashietshi there anymore.
(19:12):
So I think Chris o' lobby's nosedive is not really
anything of surprise, being that they made a quarterback change
and the Panthers defense man, you better put some respect
on their name. They have been a defense that you
have to fear on the back end of this secondary.
So I do think Chris o' lobby is a risky
start this week. So obviously, with Tyler Schuck being the
starting quarterback for the rest of the week, I don't
(19:33):
really feel optimistic about this New Orleans offense moving forward
for the rest of the fantasy season.
Speaker 1 (19:38):
Yeah. I mean, at least occasionally you get Spencer Raller
taking some shots downfield. I want to see more of
that out of Tyler's Shuck. Yeah, maybe it happens. I'm
gonna let Chris o' lobby be somebody else's headache at
this point last, but not at least on the start
sit front. The tight ends, we know the bar is
low for tight ends success. Who do you like? Who
(19:58):
do you not like?
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Gatz and everyone should be starting him by now, except
for his dad. O'klan has continued to show us that.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
Has led to good things for his son in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
Dawnkin Kate is the first Bills tight end with multiple
one hundred yard games in the same season in like
fifty years, and he has a history of success against
the Dolphins. Kyle Pitts. I think Kyle Pitts has become
fantasy relevant again. He's the leading target getter for the
Falcons in the last three games combined. Favoral matchup against
the Colts Colson Lovelin. I think the hope is that
(20:30):
last week was a sign of things to come and
he gets more opportunity. And then Dalton Schultz to me
is my favorite streaming tight end in a week where
there's good streaming tight end options. I wrote about some
streamers in the article as well, if you want to
go check that out. And then the six David and Joku.
I think Carold Fanon Junior has surpassed him as the
tight end won there. Dj Hockinson a theme I'm trying
(20:51):
to avoid this trap that I think it is for
the Vikings. Mason Taylor, He's been volume dependent, but it
looks like Garat Wilson will be back now. Tough match
against the Browns defense and then Luke Musgrave. I get
it if you lost Tucker Kraft and you picked him up,
but I want to see it first, and especially not
in this matchuphere. The Eagles have allowed the third few
is fantasy points to tight ends.
Speaker 1 (21:11):
If you want a pulse check on the state of
tight end, Kyle Pitts is averaging forty seven yards per game.
He hasn't had a game with eighty receiving yards. He
has one touchdown all year. He's the tight end twelve.
That's where nice, That's what fantasy tight end is like.
But I'm a Colston Loveland real quick Lakwan because had
(21:32):
the big breakout game last week. Cole Kamett is injured
and start to phase out of the offense. Are we
getting to a point where we start talking about Cole
Commett more regularly in this Bears attack?
Speaker 3 (21:43):
I think so, And like, honestly, again it's the Bengals,
I get it. What we're really looking at is the
opportunities that are being strapped to Colston Loveland in these
last two games. Like I get nine times out of
ten that game winning touchdown. Most defenses are going to
make that tackle. But I'm paying attention to the routes.
Sixty routes and back to back games thirty routes, thirty routes,
and these are all season highs for him, So he's
(22:04):
getting on the field. Cole Kmet has been injured for
some time. I been banged up these last couple of
weeks with a concussion just out of the way, and
for the rest of the season, I don't see Cole
Komet getting much involved in this offense where you have
Coleston Loveland blossoming into this rookie tight end that a
lot of folks were really depending on to hit the
ground running in the beginning of the season. But like
(22:24):
Marcus how You pointed out on yesterday's episode, he started
the season banged up. A lot of people forget about that.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Yeah, I mean he was not healthy coming into the year.
I think was not healthy really through his final year
in college too. So I'm maybe finally starting to get right.
And look, we've talked about this, you get that by
week rookie bump, they finally get a chance to sort
of relax and rest and kind of figure things out.
A little bit, so maybe all this is working in
Loveland's favor. On the other side, speaking of your rookie
tight ends, ok we've been trying to make Mason Taylor
(22:53):
a thing for a while. It's been, uh, how were
we feeling about it? As the Browns right now?
Speaker 2 (23:00):
That's basically the take right there.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It's has been like, I really don't understand, you know,
the need and want to have Mason Taylor in starting lineups,
like this is still a Jets offense that doesn't really
understand their identity of it. And I think Justin Fields
were strapping to Mason Taylor as a guy that can
elevate the tight end position like he's had in the
past with his time in Chicago. But I look at
(23:22):
this as he is still a project to trust in
starting lineups. But real quickly, I want to make a
note to another sit that Florio has. It's TJ Hockinson. Okay, now,
Ronde Gaskins is a start for Florio this week. But
listen to this starting sit podcast or this show right here,
Ronde Gaskin. If you've senior you are listening, continue on
starting TJ Howkinson. Okay, that's the other tight end that
(23:44):
he is starting instead of his son right now, So
go ahead and put TJ. Hawkson back into your starting
lineup and put your son right back on that bench
so we can all thrive and prosper for the rest
of the fantasy seasons.
Speaker 1 (23:54):
Take one for the team. You got to help us
all out. Sometimes the yeah man, the needs of a
mini outweigh the needs of the one, So help us
out with that. So there you go. Those are the

signed for our spicy hot takes. For Week ten, Lakwan
starts off get a little bit spicy all right now.
Speaker 3 (24:43):
A lot of the rookie tight end talk have been
Colston Love in these last two weeks, but the love
is going to Tyler Warren and my bolt take against
one of his tough of battles all season long, against
the Falcons, who are allowing three fantasy points for a
game to the tight end position. I got Tyler Warren
putting up season high twenty five plus fantasy points in
this matchup overseas. I understand that the matchup and all
(25:06):
the odds are against him, but Tyler Warren has something
to say about this tight end rookie love that's been
going to Loveland theast couple of days.
Speaker 1 (25:13):
I mean, he has been the tight end of record
from the rookie class so far this season. Florio, you're
a hot take for the week. I'm going with Jared Goff.
Speaker 2 (25:21):
I was talking about it earlier that right now it
is his career low touchdown rate. I think regression hits
and its name is the Commanders. So for me, I
think Jared Goff is going to throw five touchdowns this
week going up against the Commanders, who've allowed the fourth
most touchdown passes on the year. And the most in
(25:41):
the last month. Speed has killed them. The Lions have
a lot of speed, so you have usually regression hits
kind of all at once. This feels to me like a.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
Regression game for golf. I'm particularly big on Jared Goff
this week. I'm also particularly big on Rashid s going
from New Orleans to Seattle. I will admit this is
heavily vibes based, but I do think Rashi Chhahed scores
two touchdowns in his Seattle debut. If you want a
little bit of stats for it, it is a situation
where you got Sam Darnold, who's been one of the
(26:11):
best deep ball throwers in the league this year. He
has the highest completion percentage over expectation on deep balls
this year over any other NFL starting quarterback. You got
Rashichi Heed, who's one of the best deep ball trackers
in the league. That seems like a match made in
fantasy heaven. Plus, if you're the Seahawks, why not announce
your presence to the rest of the league by saying
(26:33):
you got another weapon to compliment Jackson Smith in JIGBA.
There so big game coming forward Rashid Shaheed this week
in the meantime for us, that is it. We are done.
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.
You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two
friends rate review and remember, hope to reach an age
where your back goes out more than you do. Be safe,
take care of yourselves. Enjoy Week ten everybody, and we'll

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
