Speaker 1 (00:11):
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
It's me your man, NAMG. Marcus Grand joined by Michael
f Florio and Lakwan Jones. Welcome to Week four, gentlemen,
let's go. I would say we're a quarter of the
way through the season, but now, like the math is,
the math, math is not mathing. Thanks guys for putting
seventeen games in there. Even when it gets to eighteen,
(00:31):
the math still doesn't math right because I don't I
guess we gotta.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Go to twenty. Fortunately, we don't have jobs.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Firstly, we don't have jobs that involve math or statistics
or anything like that. So it's fine. It is week four.
Of course, we're gonna hit you with a bunch of
starts and sets. Also get you some game previews for
Sunday Night Football and a pair of Monday night games
as well, So we'll dive into that and some other
things as we get going.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
But let's start with the starts in sets.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Of course, you can see all of them via Michael
f Florio at NFL dot com slash start sits.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You can go check those out.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
But we're gonna dive into the quarterbacks, right now take
us through the guys.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Who are starting. The guys you are sitting. Justin Herbert
I think is a must start this week. I think
Jordan Love is the biggest must start on this list
because Cowboys, and he also is a knack for going
off on Sunday Night football. I think if Justin Fields
plays for the Jets, which it's looking more and more
likely that he should be in your starting lineups. Bo
Nicks has a chance to bounce back. He left a
(01:31):
lot of production on the field last week. I don't
think that happens again against the Bengals. And then Caleboyams,
coming off his best day as a pro, gets another
team that doesn't generate a ton of pressure, and then sits.
You might have heard Dak Prescott going up against Micah
Parsons and Packers defense. I know we really haven't talked
about it much this week, but I think Dak should
sit Kyler Murray. I think he should be a sit
(01:55):
Daniel Jones for me because the Rams create a lot
of pressure. I know on things differently though. On that one, CJ. Stroud,
I'm curious to see if Stroud could bounce back against
a team that doesn't do a good job getting after
the quarterback and then Aaron Rodgers. He's just running hot
touchdown wise, but I don't expect.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They are a low volume passing offense. They're spreading the
ball around and if he doesn't have spite to fuel him,
then I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
If he has the same level of production at all.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Let's start though, with bow knicks there, Lakwa, I mean
you are a bow leaver.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I think we're all bow leavers. I think you were.
You were the leading bow leaver.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Though Floya mentioned he missed a couple of deep throws,
it probably would have changed the trajectory of things, but
it does feel like the Bengals defense is.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The cure for what ails you at this point.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, that's funny, man, because Scott Porter front of the show,
I mean the great show Genie and Georgia on Netflix
right now. He hit me up on Sunday Aaron his
grievance about bo missing a lot of this downfield throws,
and honestly, man, he has not looked great throwing downfield.
But with his matchup against the Bengals, I think that
there may be a lot of opportunities for him to
go downfield. Kind of set his feet with Scott Porter
(03:03):
was actually talking about his frustrations with bo But I
think having the Bengals defense, you're going to be able
to use and abuse that deep ball with Courtland Sun.
So I do think that the Bengals offense is pretty terrible.
They're putting the ball a ton. They're turning the ball
over a ton as well with Jake Browning. So there's
gonna be a lot of opportunities for bo Nix to
go out there to make the bow Leavers happy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I do think this is a good bounce back look,
and it's extremes right because last week he got a
very good Chargers defense to deal with. This week he
gets a very bad Bengals defense to deal with. So
I think it's going to be a much different situation.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Maybe the QB one last week if he connects on
those deep throats. Yeah, there was three of them that
he just missed and.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
He's not under pressure, So it doesn't make sense. It
does not make sense, man, like just throw the ball,
set your feet.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Hey man.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's part of part of the development process, right, I mean,
bo Nix is progressing well still, obviously you have some
things to work on there. Is just getting that deep
ball down. Dak Prescott has no problem throwing the deep ball.
The problem is can he complete it, especially against this
Packer defense. I mean, look, Lakwan volume is there right.
One hundred and thirty one throws through three games is
(04:09):
kind of an insane number, but insane the Packer defense,
It's good. I mean, how are you feeling about Dak
this week? Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I'm kind of staying away from Dak this week.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Look, he was kind of with CD. Now without him
going against the Packers defense. Man, I think Michael Parsons
has a night feasting on Dak.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I do think Dak not having the touchdowns to kind
of back him as reason to put him in starting
lineups this week. I think George Pickens has a solid game,
but I do think that Dak suffers getting sacked and
being able to have that deep ball With CD Lamb,
It's going to be very one dimensional for this Cowboys
offense against his Packers defense. So if I can get
away from Dak and start somebody else, I will this week.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean Floria.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
During draft season, we talked a lot about Dak sort
of being underdrafted. It was kind of a movement. I
think across fantasy like, hey man, why isn't Dak going earlier?
And we sort of pushed him up draft boards through
three weeks he's QB eighteen.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Did we maybe have it right the first time around? Uh?
I do think it's partly because he's faced a couple
of good defenses, although last week was very disappointing against
the Bears. The thing I'll say, though, is, like you said,
volume is on his side, and this Cowboys defense isn't
gonna do anything to change that. Right, Like they're going
(05:22):
to be trailing in a lot of games this year,
which means Dak is going to have to air it
out a bunch. So I do think there's better days
ahead for Dak. It's just this Packers defense without Ceedee
Lamb is not the week I think to get to me. Yeah,
it's it's gonna be tough. I wouldn't mess around with
Dak this week if you have some other options.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Which if you drafted Dak, you probably have another option,
so you should probably look into that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Let's get over to the running backs though.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
These starts and sits here, who you have, who's up
and who is down?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
This week? You're gonna notice. I think the Dolphins are
a defense we could pick on. Uh Breeze Hall is
a start for me, and then rookies right like Omarion
Hampton is a must start for me against the Giant.
I think Ashton Genty because he has struggled with getting
hit behind the line of scrimmage. The Bears have allowed
the most yards before contact running backs in the NFL.
Quinnshaw Judkins took over that backfield and did it against
(06:13):
a tough Packers run defense last week, so I think
he's in play again. And then this If it's not
this week, when is it for Trevion Henderson coming off
of three fumbles for the other backs and maybe the
best matchup a running back could have on the other
side of that game. Though, I know this is a
little spicy, not a mustit, but if you have another option,
I would try to get away from Chewba Hubbard last
(06:33):
week with after putting two O linemen on ir they
didn't create any yards before contact and David Montgomery is
in a Really I think the Browns are the best
run defense in football. They shut down Jacobs and Henry
Isaiah Pachecko. Look, I know on paper it looks like
a good matchup. I still don't see how you could
trust him, and I'm a Pachecko guy, and then Bill
(06:54):
a lot of other guys getting touches there and RJ Harvey.
The matchup looks so appealing, but until he gets more usage,
there's just no way you could start.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I just think with Pacheco and Harvey, they're in
similar situations and that the usage is not there. Even
last week when we thought it was a Pacheco week,
he had just eleven touches overall, He's just not getting
the ball, and then.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The valuable touches are going to Kareem Hunt. Yeah, I
mean that's part of it. And then RJ Harvey.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
We've talked about before Sean Payton does not have our
best interests at heart when he talks about RJ Harvey.
So until further notice, you kind of got to move
away from that. But I'm talking about Quinshawn Judkins because
I mean that first week he was just coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They sort of eased him in.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Then last week it looks like the takeover is complete.
I mean, or we had a point where he's just
is he just an RB two Now for the rest
of the season.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yes, that guy is bulling his way into my starting lineups.
There's a guy, a lot of guys on Florial's list
that I am benching like a Chuba Hubert for Quinn
Shawn Jenkins. I definitely think him hitting the ground running
is one of the best things to see to do
it against this Packers defense. It wasn't that he was
just getting the hard yards. He was explosive in his runs.
He was breaking tackles. He just kept chugging along, and
(08:06):
it looks like they are handing him the keys completely,
giving him majority of the touches out of that Brown's backfill.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So yeah, he's the real deal, and.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm glad I stash him because he's been bulling his way,
like I said, into starting lineups.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
My question to watch this week is if the Lions
get out to a multiple score lead, how does that
impact his usage? Is he still going to be involved
in the passing game. That's That's the only.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thing I'm really worried about. I think in terms of
running the ball, we know.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's got that gig on lock, but you know, if
the Browns suddenly find themselves down fourteen seventeen points, is
he still going to be a part of it, and
we don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We would find Nichol has started calling him half and
half because I drafted him on her team and then
his picture his half each half of hair, like should
I start half and half this week? And I was like,
who are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I love that. That's gonna be. It's gonna be his
nickname from now on. He's half and half on this show.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
For sure. I'm either side of that game that you got.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
David Montgomery had the huge game against the Baltimore Ravens
last week, in a game where he had fewer snaps
and touches than Jamiir Gibbs. He just had a couple
of big, explosive runs, which by the way, helped me
to a win in the league. So thank you David Montgomery.
But this week, LaQuan, do you like knuckles to knock
out or get knocked out?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean, that's sort of extreme, but you know where
I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
In this fight, I'm not having David Montgomery on my
side and fighting the Browns. They're one of the defenses
that you don't want to get in a bar fight with.
They are the ones that just do not go down.
You see this guy take a poll stick to the head.
He is still up and going. This Browns defense is
very vicious, and I don't think David Montgomery is the
guy I want to go into this week with the fight.
And again this goes into a perfect example. Personally, I'm
(09:48):
sitting David Montgomery, like Florial and everybody else that should
for Quinn shot Jenkins in this same game.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I didn't think that analogy was going to turn into
the pool hall scene from Rush Hour.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But okay, here we are my exact thought. So there
it is, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So David Montgomery, maybe in a void if you can
this week, even after coming off the big game last
week against Baltimore. That gets us to the first of
our weekend previews. This for Sunday Night Football between the
Packers and the Cowboys, we talked about Dak Prescott's and
whether or not he is startable this week. Florio says, no,
(10:23):
you seem to agree, Lakwan, But I'm gonna ask you
now about Javonte Williams, who's been hot to start the season.
Would you run him out there though against the Green
Bay Packers this week?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Man, I don't think he kind of buils his way
into the end zone like we've seen him do the
last couple of weeks. I think this might be the
down week, that down the Earth week for Javonte Williams,
because again, when we drafted him, he wasn't even supposed
to be a weekly starter. He was one of those
guys we had in our bench that was getting drafted
late in rounds and he made his way to the
flex position and some graduated him to the RB two position.
(10:55):
But I do think this is the week I kind
of pivot to other options because I do not think
say floor time to.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Check out the first to score odds for Sunday Nights
Packers Cowboys matchup here.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Though surprise, Josh Jacobs is the.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Top option here, followed by Javonte Williams, George Pickens, Matthew Golden,
and Tucker Craft Florida. Do you like any of these
guys to find the end zone first?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm gonna go with Matthew Golden here. I think they're
gonna he's gonna get some deep shots from Jordan Love.
I think the Packers are gonna want to come out
swinging in this game, and Golden being their deep threat
as we saw last week. I think he's starting to
take over more so. Yeah, I know Josh Jacobs is
the one that's like, oh he's gonna score, but no,
let's have some fun. Let's go Matthew Golden. All right,
Matthew Golden is the option here.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They've tried to hit some deep shots, as you mentioned,
they just haven't quite connected.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Jet.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We'll see everyone connects against the couch. Everybody connects against
the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So we'll see if if Jordan Love and Matthew Golden
can make it happen this week. Time to take a
quick break, but when we come back, we'll preview the
Monday night games and give you our wide receiver and
tight end start. Since we got to Monny night doubleheader
coming up. The first game is the Jets at the Dolphins.
You can see that at seven fifteen pm Eastern Time
(12:08):
on ESPN and ESPN Deportes. I'm both teams kind of
struggling out the gate in this one. I would go
you went it, took the bold step on Fantasy Live
this week and made it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Your Game O the Week the week.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
All right, anybody you're particularly keeping an eye on in
this one.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
The Jets. Like Jets, Justin Fields and Breeze Hall Toomey
are the two big players in this one because the
Jets quarterback, regardless if it's been Fields or Tyrod Taylor,
has ran for forty or more yards in every game,
So that to me seems like it's part of their
game plan. The Dolphins have a lot of the most
rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks. They get torched through the air.
(12:45):
They struggle against the run and stopping running backs, and
the Dolphins side of things, it's out that I don't
want to talk about them. It's like, Okay, you're playing
Devon h Chan, you're probably playing Tyreek Hill. Maybe you
have to use Jalen Watto. You don't feel great about it,
and that's it. You know, Like if you want a sleeper,
maybe Ali Gordon because he's getting goal on work now
and he had three of the full red zone touches
(13:06):
last week. But if he doesn't get a touchdown, you're
looking at less than five fantasy. So like that's a
little He's someone I want on my team, but not
in my lineup. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, the Dolphins are pretty easy evaluation. As you mentioned,
like there are guys you're starting there's one guy maybe
you're starting, depending on who you have on your roster,
and after that, that's it. By way, I almost I
almost cursonally like the Jets. I thought about the line
from Big Daddy the Jets like, I.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Use that gift a lot.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You guys are missing the Jersey Shore reference in Reunion
right here. Last year I cooling the Jets as the
Jersey Shore cast of the chaos that they had. Now
we had the Jersey Shore Miami cast joining back with
the Jets. I mean, this is going to be a
game that I think is going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All over if the Jersey Shore Season one and two
cast fought. I mean, I know it's themselves, but that's
what this is.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
This is what it is like.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I think this game is going to be all over
the place, like you're going from Jersey to Miami.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Wow, all right, that I kind of missed the whole
like I was. I think I aged out. I'd stop
watching him TV like that's.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
On Hulu if you want to watch it. But I'm good.
I appreciate that. This not I'm pretty good on that.
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Though the other money Night gained Bengals at the Broncos.
That one gets started at eight to fifteen pm Eastern.
You can see that on the American Broadcasting Company. Look on,
will we get a Jamar Chase bounce back? It was
not great last week and now he's likely going to
have to deal with the PS two. Not the fun
kind on which you could play video games, but the
kind that tends to lock you up.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Are we going to get the Chase bounce back this week?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
My expectations are a order, okay. I mean, look, we
know this Bengals offense, they're going to struggle. There's no
Joe Burrow, but man, Jamar Chase Is ceiling is way
lower in expectations. I think it's very scary to go
the entire weekend and if you need a Monday night
miracle and you're depending on Jamar Chase or even a T.
Higgins that kind of gets you to win. I don't
know if I'm going to be sitting pretty. I don't
(14:59):
know if I'm going to be cool calmon collected Monday
and hoping for a high ceiling from Jamare Chase.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Because this is the Denver's defense.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Like T.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Higgins and Jamar Chase, floors are scary, man terrifying. There's
cockroaches on the floor, old piece of from like two
years ago on the ground. The floors are scary. That
can really lose your league. So the folks that are
zero and three, one and two on back to back losses, like,
I'm okay if you're pivoting, and again I've said this
on the last episode.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I'm doing it. I'll be the guineagig for the fancy streets.
I'm putting a manor in my starting lineups. I'm sitting
Jamaar Chase because i need a win.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
We never thought of a bet between me and La
kwand waer for three weeks.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Next three weeks, man, But.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You have to screen screenshot it or it didn't happen. Yeah,
we need to screenshot out.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
The thing I thought was like eating something really hot
on the pod or something like that. We got to
figure something out.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Some team Jamar Chase, your team elk Iomner apparently.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Like, I know it's fire content only you see the
flat flame of my emoji.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But I don't like spicy stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So we're gonna have to we want to talk off
camera about how spicy we're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We'll figure this out as can be.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Doing some doing some some hot ones challenges here.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Who knows, We'll see.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Anyway, we'll see if Jamar Chase can bounce back coming
up this week against the Denver Broncos. Back to our
starts and siths speaking of wide receivers, Uh, Florio, who
are your starts and sits at the wide receiver position?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
This way? I think Roman doingsa is just a must
start option at this point, but I want to drive
that point home a Mecca Abuca to me, I'm just
riding it out until the wheels fall off, even with
Mike Evans out.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't worry about that all the chargers receivers. I
have just a gut feeling. I think this is going
to be Lady mcconkey's week as opposing defenses start to
finally pivot and realize they have to actually be worried
about the other guys out there. And then rookie week
continues with Ted McMillan, sorry tetaroa McMillan his mom does
not like to call him tet and Matthew Golden already
(16:58):
kind of spoke about I think those are two good
matchups for the rookies there. Lakwan just was talking about
how he doesn't really want to be waiting on te
Higgins Monday. I agree. I think t Higgins is a
sit Travis Hunter, to me, is a sit key on Coleman,
just because I think the Bills could win however they
want in this one. I'm not sure it's going to
(17:18):
be airing the ball out and then Calvin Ridley, Like,
I'm not dropping Ridley, but until we see any signs
of life, you cannot start well.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They have made a change in play calling down there
in Tennessee, Brian Callaghan giving up play calling duties. We'll
see if that gets Calvin Ridley going, but so far
it has been disappointing, to say the least. Back to
the Packers, though, Lakwan florio big on Matthew Golden this week.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Where you call it falling on.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Golden, it's breakout week, it's the golden ticket error. I
definitely think they're going to have a lot of opportunities
in practice to get that deep ball connected. I think
last week was very encouraging to see that he led
the Packers and receiving yards. You see how they want
to utilize him all over this offense. So I'm really
excited this match of that they get a soft defense
where they can utilize him a lot more downfield, and
(18:04):
him and Jordan Love can build on that chemistry with
this practice game against that terrible cowboy secondary.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
On the other side, Travis Hunter, who obviously has been disappointing.
This is your chance to continue your your Trevor Lawrence
anti Trevor Lawrence crusade. But the other part of this
lak On is Travis Hunt just playing a lot more
defense as well. He's got to be benchable at this point, right.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, I'm not going to take the victory.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Life.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I can smile a little.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Bit because I've said Travis Hunter is going to be
a fantasy headache.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
And ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Week four. Here
we are. It is the fantasy edache that is on
the rise.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
He's near the drop zone for a lot of people
that are hitting in the dms of what to do
with him. I don't know if you could trade him,
I don't know if you could star him. But he's
going to be playing a lot more defense, and whila,
the Shack's defense is actually pretty good. At taking the
ball away. I'm not sure it's his presence on the
field helping that, but I do think if he's making
one area of the field better, I mean one side
of the ball better, I don't see him really flexing
(19:05):
as much as we want him to be fantasy relevant
on offense.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
If Trevor mid Lawrens can't get it together.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
That's the thing for me is it's mostly the quarterback situation.
But I am just paying attention to how much more
defense he's playing, and that has been very notable over
the last couple of weeks. Floy over to the tight
ends your starts and since at the tight end position
for this week.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I think this is the Tyler Warren blow up game
that we have been waiting for. We've seen the floor.
I think I think we get to see you talk
about it all the time, how you guys can't guard
tight ends. Tucker Craft must start option against the Cowboys.
I think Jake Ferguson is a muscle. Like in the
article I listed tight ends that I'd rather play over
Ferguson this week and it's less than five. Hunter Henry
(19:48):
looking like a very strong start moving forward, and dal
Kin Kate sneakily has been the top target in the
last two games for the Bills and then David and Joku.
He is not top forty yards double digit Fantasy points
in the game this year. Zach Ertz is more of
a floor play, but it's a tough matchup and floors
tend to get lowered in tough matchups. Kyle Pitts Senior now,
(20:10):
uh just with Darnel Mooney being back, he's kind of
falling to third in the target pecking order. Love Wind,
I joked, is like the squid word meme where he's
watching all the other rookies get to run out and
play and he just doesn't get to because they don't
use him. And then John new Smith like there, Arthur
Smith hates this guy. He's like, you had a career year,
you're coming back with me and you're playing the tight
(20:31):
end two role again, Like it's just unusable with him
and Pat Fryan with splitting work like that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Arthur Smith continues to be publican, I mean number one
for Fantasy.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Many streets, Boogeyman, just oh Man Hunter, Henry though Lakwan,
I mean, I know Drake Mason's they want to get
Stefan Digs more involved, but Hunter Henry continues to be
that guy they look for.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Near the end zone and we just love that touchdown upside.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Absolutely, I'm always gonna chase those hids if it's a
high touchdown presence. I really think that he is the
command of this offense wing. Really, you look at the
wide receivers, there's no real identity of a wide receiver
one in this offense. Hunter Henry looks like his top
option that Drake may is going to target when he
needs to in the time.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
If they're down or if they're driving.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I think that Hunter Henry is wildly under roster right
now in less than fifty percent of league. So I
picked him up as a tight end two if he
needs to take over, if my guy like George kidto
A isn't back yet, or if I have Travis Kelcey,
that's disappointing. I think he could save a lot of
rosters for the rest of the season just based on
him being the top function of this Patriots offense.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean, speaking of Hunter henraymy leading the team in
targets and receiving yards. I actually had to check to
see that Stefan Diggs was healthy I'm like, I have
not heard his.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Name at all this year. He's healthy here, not in
a football sense, you're in a very other difference, in
very different sense.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I really was like, maybe he's hurt and I just
missed it somewhere, but no, he's just not getting the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Ball in any real way there in New England.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So anyway, for more starts in six, you can go
to nfl dot com slash Start sit. Check out all
of Florio's picks for this week, get a little bit
of analysis for them as well. Get the biggest glass
of horchata you can find. Time for our spicy takes
for week four. Maybe not too spicy because Lakwan doesn't
really like spice, but you got some spot.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I see your bold prediction. I'm on board with your
bold prediction this week.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Let's goal. We're on the same side of defense man,
my hot take, my bold prediction.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I just say Arondez Gaskin is going to put up
fifteen plus Fantasy points this week.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
And I think at Jim.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Rball giving him the praise, the confidence praise that we've
seen give to QJ and where he's stepping up. I
think Ronde Gass is coming in on his debut, putting
up seven targets, five catches boarding Lambcocky. I do think
Aronde Gascuz the second is going to be put in
very favorable positions to put up big fantasy points this week.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Made his debut, got targeted seven times on twenty routes.
That's a pretty good ratio, and with those other three
receivers balling out, you get some open up opportunities there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Florio your hot take for this week. Every single is
gonna play well pretty much like I think Week four.
I keep saying it. We're gonna look back and be like,
that is the week that this rookie class arrived. I
think Ashton Genty, Traveon Henderson, Quinnshaw, Judkins, Tyler Warren, Tetuo, McMillan,
and Matthew Golden all have their best games fantasy wise
(23:16):
through their first month of the season and everything Hampton,
Abuca and cam Skataboo have. They've already had like big,
huge games, but I think they continue and stay hot
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, it's taking a while for some of these guys
to break through, but maybe this is the week it
finally happens.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I also noticed he didn't mention RJ. Harvey just saying
you need to see the field to break out. That's
true for me.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You might be waiting all day for Sunday Night, but
it's gonna be a worthwhile wait. If you have one
of the two tight ends in the game you saw
on Florio start sit list both Tucker Craft and Jake Ferguson.
I think both of those guys give you twenty plus
points on Sunday Night football. They're both the most targeted
guys in their respective offenses. The Packers struggle against tight ends,
the Cowboys struggle against everybody. I think both those guys
(23:59):
are gonna get a lot of targets. They both have
touchdown upside, and they absolutely should be in your lineups
for this week. So there you go. That is it.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
We are done.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know the drill.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and
remember instant gratification takes too long. Be safe, take care
of yourselves, enjoy week for everybody. We'll talk to you
again on Monday.
Everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
It's me your man, NAMG. Marcus Grand joined by Michael
f Florio and Lakwan Jones. Welcome to Week four, gentlemen,
let's go. I would say we're a quarter of the
way through the season, but now, like the math is,
the math, math is not mathing. Thanks guys for putting
seventeen games in there. Even when it gets to eighteen,
(00:31):
the math still doesn't math right because I don't I
guess we gotta.
Speaker 1 (00:36):
Go to twenty. Fortunately, we don't have jobs.
Speaker 2 (00:40):
Firstly, we don't have jobs that involve math or statistics
or anything like that. So it's fine. It is week four.
Of course, we're gonna hit you with a bunch of
starts and sets. Also get you some game previews for
Sunday Night Football and a pair of Monday night games
as well, So we'll dive into that and some other
things as we get going.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
But let's start with the starts in sets.
Speaker 2 (01:00):
Of course, you can see all of them via Michael
f Florio at NFL dot com slash start sits.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
You can go check those out.
Speaker 2 (01:07):
But we're gonna dive into the quarterbacks, right now take
us through the guys.
Speaker 1 (01:10):
Who are starting. The guys you are sitting. Justin Herbert
I think is a must start this week. I think
Jordan Love is the biggest must start on this list
because Cowboys, and he also is a knack for going
off on Sunday Night football. I think if Justin Fields
plays for the Jets, which it's looking more and more
likely that he should be in your starting lineups. Bo
Nicks has a chance to bounce back. He left a
(01:31):
lot of production on the field last week. I don't
think that happens again against the Bengals. And then Caleboyams,
coming off his best day as a pro, gets another
team that doesn't generate a ton of pressure, and then sits.
You might have heard Dak Prescott going up against Micah
Parsons and Packers defense. I know we really haven't talked
about it much this week, but I think Dak should
sit Kyler Murray. I think he should be a sit
(01:55):
Daniel Jones for me because the Rams create a lot
of pressure. I know on things differently though. On that one, CJ. Stroud,
I'm curious to see if Stroud could bounce back against
a team that doesn't do a good job getting after
the quarterback and then Aaron Rodgers. He's just running hot
touchdown wise, but I don't expect.
Speaker 2 (02:14):
They are a low volume passing offense. They're spreading the
ball around and if he doesn't have spite to fuel him,
then I don't know.
Speaker 1 (02:21):
If he has the same level of production at all.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
Let's start though, with bow knicks there, Lakwa, I mean
you are a bow leaver.
Speaker 1 (02:29):
I think we're all bow leavers. I think you were.
You were the leading bow leaver.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
Though Floya mentioned he missed a couple of deep throws,
it probably would have changed the trajectory of things, but
it does feel like the Bengals defense is.
Speaker 1 (02:39):
The cure for what ails you at this point.
Speaker 3 (02:42):
Yeah, that's funny, man, because Scott Porter front of the show,
I mean the great show Genie and Georgia on Netflix
right now. He hit me up on Sunday Aaron his
grievance about bo missing a lot of this downfield throws,
and honestly, man, he has not looked great throwing downfield.
But with his matchup against the Bengals, I think that
there may be a lot of opportunities for him to
go downfield. Kind of set his feet with Scott Porter
(03:03):
was actually talking about his frustrations with bo But I
think having the Bengals defense, you're going to be able
to use and abuse that deep ball with Courtland Sun.
So I do think that the Bengals offense is pretty terrible.
They're putting the ball a ton. They're turning the ball
over a ton as well with Jake Browning. So there's
gonna be a lot of opportunities for bo Nix to
go out there to make the bow Leavers happy. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (03:22):
I do think this is a good bounce back look,
and it's extremes right because last week he got a
very good Chargers defense to deal with. This week he
gets a very bad Bengals defense to deal with. So
I think it's going to be a much different situation.
Speaker 1 (03:35):
Maybe the QB one last week if he connects on
those deep throats. Yeah, there was three of them that
he just missed and.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
He's not under pressure, So it doesn't make sense. It
does not make sense, man, like just throw the ball,
set your feet.
Speaker 1 (03:47):
Hey man.
Speaker 2 (03:47):
It's part of part of the development process, right, I mean,
bo Nix is progressing well still, obviously you have some
things to work on there. Is just getting that deep
ball down. Dak Prescott has no problem throwing the deep ball.
The problem is can he complete it, especially against this
Packer defense. I mean, look, Lakwan volume is there right.
One hundred and thirty one throws through three games is
(04:09):
kind of an insane number, but insane the Packer defense,
It's good. I mean, how are you feeling about Dak
this week? Uh?
Speaker 3 (04:17):
I'm kind of staying away from Dak this week.
Speaker 2 (04:19):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
Look, he was kind of with CD. Now without him
going against the Packers defense. Man, I think Michael Parsons
has a night feasting on Dak.
Speaker 4 (04:27):
Man.
Speaker 3 (04:28):
I do think Dak not having the touchdowns to kind
of back him as reason to put him in starting
lineups this week. I think George Pickens has a solid game,
but I do think that Dak suffers getting sacked and
being able to have that deep ball With CD Lamb,
It's going to be very one dimensional for this Cowboys
offense against his Packers defense. So if I can get
away from Dak and start somebody else, I will this week.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
I mean Floria.
Speaker 2 (04:50):
During draft season, we talked a lot about Dak sort
of being underdrafted. It was kind of a movement. I
think across fantasy like, hey man, why isn't Dak going earlier?
And we sort of pushed him up draft boards through
three weeks he's QB eighteen.
Speaker 1 (05:02):
Did we maybe have it right the first time around? Uh?
I do think it's partly because he's faced a couple
of good defenses, although last week was very disappointing against
the Bears. The thing I'll say, though, is, like you said,
volume is on his side, and this Cowboys defense isn't
gonna do anything to change that. Right, Like they're going
(05:22):
to be trailing in a lot of games this year,
which means Dak is going to have to air it
out a bunch. So I do think there's better days
ahead for Dak. It's just this Packers defense without Ceedee
Lamb is not the week I think to get to me. Yeah,
it's it's gonna be tough. I wouldn't mess around with
Dak this week if you have some other options.
Speaker 2 (05:39):
Which if you drafted Dak, you probably have another option,
so you should probably look into that.
Speaker 1 (05:44):
Let's get over to the running backs though.
Speaker 2 (05:46):
These starts and sits here, who you have, who's up
and who is down?
Speaker 1 (05:50):
This week? You're gonna notice. I think the Dolphins are
a defense we could pick on. Uh Breeze Hall is
a start for me, and then rookies right like Omarion
Hampton is a must start for me against the Giant.
I think Ashton Genty because he has struggled with getting
hit behind the line of scrimmage. The Bears have allowed
the most yards before contact running backs in the NFL.
Quinnshaw Judkins took over that backfield and did it against
(06:13):
a tough Packers run defense last week, so I think
he's in play again. And then this If it's not
this week, when is it for Trevion Henderson coming off
of three fumbles for the other backs and maybe the
best matchup a running back could have on the other
side of that game. Though, I know this is a
little spicy, not a mustit, but if you have another option,
I would try to get away from Chewba Hubbard last
(06:33):
week with after putting two O linemen on ir they
didn't create any yards before contact and David Montgomery is
in a Really I think the Browns are the best
run defense in football. They shut down Jacobs and Henry
Isaiah Pachecko. Look, I know on paper it looks like
a good matchup. I still don't see how you could
trust him, and I'm a Pachecko guy, and then Bill
(06:54):
a lot of other guys getting touches there and RJ Harvey.
The matchup looks so appealing, but until he gets more usage,
there's just no way you could start.
Speaker 2 (07:03):
Yeah, I just think with Pacheco and Harvey, they're in
similar situations and that the usage is not there. Even
last week when we thought it was a Pacheco week,
he had just eleven touches overall, He's just not getting
the ball, and then.
Speaker 1 (07:14):
The valuable touches are going to Kareem Hunt. Yeah, I
mean that's part of it. And then RJ Harvey.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
We've talked about before Sean Payton does not have our
best interests at heart when he talks about RJ Harvey.
So until further notice, you kind of got to move
away from that. But I'm talking about Quinshawn Judkins because
I mean that first week he was just coming back.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
They sort of eased him in.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Then last week it looks like the takeover is complete.
I mean, or we had a point where he's just
is he just an RB two Now for the rest
of the season.
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Yes, that guy is bulling his way into my starting lineups.
There's a guy, a lot of guys on Florial's list
that I am benching like a Chuba Hubert for Quinn
Shawn Jenkins. I definitely think him hitting the ground running
is one of the best things to see to do
it against this Packers defense. It wasn't that he was
just getting the hard yards. He was explosive in his runs.
He was breaking tackles. He just kept chugging along, and
(08:06):
it looks like they are handing him the keys completely,
giving him majority of the touches out of that Brown's backfill.
Speaker 4 (08:12):
So yeah, he's the real deal, and.
Speaker 3 (08:14):
I'm glad I stash him because he's been bulling his way,
like I said, into starting lineups.
Speaker 2 (08:19):
My question to watch this week is if the Lions
get out to a multiple score lead, how does that
impact his usage? Is he still going to be involved
in the passing game. That's That's the only.
Speaker 1 (08:29):
Thing I'm really worried about. I think in terms of
running the ball, we know.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
He's got that gig on lock, but you know, if
the Browns suddenly find themselves down fourteen seventeen points, is
he still going to be a part of it, and
we don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 1 (08:42):
We would find Nichol has started calling him half and
half because I drafted him on her team and then
his picture his half each half of hair, like should
I start half and half this week? And I was like,
who are you talking about?
Speaker 2 (08:54):
I love that. That's gonna be. It's gonna be his
nickname from now on. He's half and half on this show.
Speaker 1 (08:58):
For sure. I'm either side of that game that you got.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
David Montgomery had the huge game against the Baltimore Ravens
last week, in a game where he had fewer snaps
and touches than Jamiir Gibbs. He just had a couple
of big, explosive runs, which by the way, helped me
to a win in the league. So thank you David Montgomery.
But this week, LaQuan, do you like knuckles to knock
out or get knocked out?
Speaker 1 (09:22):
I mean, that's sort of extreme, but you know where
I'm going with this.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
In this fight, I'm not having David Montgomery on my
side and fighting the Browns. They're one of the defenses
that you don't want to get in a bar fight with.
They are the ones that just do not go down.
You see this guy take a poll stick to the head.
He is still up and going. This Browns defense is
very vicious, and I don't think David Montgomery is the
guy I want to go into this week with the fight.
And again this goes into a perfect example. Personally, I'm
(09:48):
sitting David Montgomery, like Florial and everybody else that should
for Quinn shot Jenkins in this same game.
Speaker 2 (09:54):
I didn't think that analogy was going to turn into
the pool hall scene from Rush Hour.
Speaker 1 (09:57):
But okay, here we are my exact thought. So there
it is, all right.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
So David Montgomery, maybe in a void if you can
this week, even after coming off the big game last
week against Baltimore. That gets us to the first of
our weekend previews. This for Sunday Night Football between the
Packers and the Cowboys, we talked about Dak Prescott's and
whether or not he is startable this week. Florio says, no,
(10:23):
you seem to agree, Lakwan, But I'm gonna ask you
now about Javonte Williams, who's been hot to start the season.
Would you run him out there though against the Green
Bay Packers this week?
Speaker 4 (10:34):
Absolutely?
Speaker 3 (10:35):
Man, I don't think he kind of buils his way
into the end zone like we've seen him do the
last couple of weeks. I think this might be the
down week, that down the Earth week for Javonte Williams,
because again, when we drafted him, he wasn't even supposed
to be a weekly starter. He was one of those
guys we had in our bench that was getting drafted
late in rounds and he made his way to the
flex position and some graduated him to the RB two position.
(10:55):
But I do think this is the week I kind
of pivot to other options because I do not think
say floor time to.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Check out the first to score odds for Sunday Nights
Packers Cowboys matchup here.
Speaker 1 (11:06):
Though surprise, Josh Jacobs is the.
Speaker 2 (11:09):
Top option here, followed by Javonte Williams, George Pickens, Matthew Golden,
and Tucker Craft Florida. Do you like any of these
guys to find the end zone first?
Speaker 1 (11:18):
I'm gonna go with Matthew Golden here. I think they're
gonna he's gonna get some deep shots from Jordan Love.
I think the Packers are gonna want to come out
swinging in this game, and Golden being their deep threat
as we saw last week. I think he's starting to
take over more so. Yeah, I know Josh Jacobs is
the one that's like, oh he's gonna score, but no,
let's have some fun. Let's go Matthew Golden. All right,
Matthew Golden is the option here.
Speaker 2 (11:38):
They've tried to hit some deep shots, as you mentioned,
they just haven't quite connected.
Speaker 4 (11:42):
Jet.
Speaker 1 (11:42):
We'll see everyone connects against the couch. Everybody connects against
the Cowboys.
Speaker 2 (11:46):
So we'll see if if Jordan Love and Matthew Golden
can make it happen this week. Time to take a
quick break, but when we come back, we'll preview the
Monday night games and give you our wide receiver and
tight end start. Since we got to Monny night doubleheader
coming up. The first game is the Jets at the Dolphins.
You can see that at seven fifteen pm Eastern Time
(12:08):
on ESPN and ESPN Deportes. I'm both teams kind of
struggling out the gate in this one. I would go
you went it, took the bold step on Fantasy Live
this week and made it.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Your Game O the Week the week.
Speaker 2 (12:21):
All right, anybody you're particularly keeping an eye on in
this one.
Speaker 1 (12:25):
The Jets. Like Jets, Justin Fields and Breeze Hall Toomey
are the two big players in this one because the
Jets quarterback, regardless if it's been Fields or Tyrod Taylor,
has ran for forty or more yards in every game,
So that to me seems like it's part of their
game plan. The Dolphins have a lot of the most
rushing touchdowns to quarterbacks. They get torched through the air.
(12:45):
They struggle against the run and stopping running backs, and
the Dolphins side of things, it's out that I don't
want to talk about them. It's like, Okay, you're playing
Devon h Chan, you're probably playing Tyreek Hill. Maybe you
have to use Jalen Watto. You don't feel great about it,
and that's it. You know, Like if you want a sleeper,
maybe Ali Gordon because he's getting goal on work now
and he had three of the full red zone touches
(13:06):
last week. But if he doesn't get a touchdown, you're
looking at less than five fantasy. So like that's a
little He's someone I want on my team, but not
in my lineup. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
Yeah, the Dolphins are pretty easy evaluation. As you mentioned,
like there are guys you're starting there's one guy maybe
you're starting, depending on who you have on your roster,
and after that, that's it. By way, I almost I
almost cursonally like the Jets. I thought about the line
from Big Daddy the Jets like, I.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Use that gift a lot.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
You guys are missing the Jersey Shore reference in Reunion
right here. Last year I cooling the Jets as the
Jersey Shore cast of the chaos that they had. Now
we had the Jersey Shore Miami cast joining back with
the Jets. I mean, this is going to be a
game that I think is going to be.
Speaker 1 (13:46):
All over if the Jersey Shore Season one and two
cast fought. I mean, I know it's themselves, but that's
what this is.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
This is what it is like.
Speaker 3 (13:54):
I think this game is going to be all over
the place, like you're going from Jersey to Miami.
Speaker 4 (13:59):
There you go.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Wow, all right, that I kind of missed the whole
like I was. I think I aged out. I'd stop
watching him TV like that's.
Speaker 1 (14:08):
On Hulu if you want to watch it. But I'm good.
I appreciate that. This not I'm pretty good on that.
I appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (14:14):
Though the other money Night gained Bengals at the Broncos.
That one gets started at eight to fifteen pm Eastern.
You can see that on the American Broadcasting Company. Look on,
will we get a Jamar Chase bounce back? It was
not great last week and now he's likely going to
have to deal with the PS two. Not the fun
kind on which you could play video games, but the
kind that tends to lock you up.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
Are we going to get the Chase bounce back this week?
Speaker 4 (14:37):
Listen?
Speaker 3 (14:37):
My expectations are a order, okay. I mean, look, we
know this Bengals offense, they're going to struggle. There's no
Joe Burrow, but man, Jamar Chase Is ceiling is way
lower in expectations. I think it's very scary to go
the entire weekend and if you need a Monday night
miracle and you're depending on Jamar Chase or even a T.
Higgins that kind of gets you to win. I don't
know if I'm going to be sitting pretty. I don't
(14:59):
know if I'm going to be cool calmon collected Monday
and hoping for a high ceiling from Jamare Chase.
Speaker 4 (15:03):
Because this is the Denver's defense.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
Like T.
Speaker 3 (15:06):
Higgins and Jamar Chase, floors are scary, man terrifying. There's
cockroaches on the floor, old piece of from like two
years ago on the ground. The floors are scary. That
can really lose your league. So the folks that are
zero and three, one and two on back to back losses, like,
I'm okay if you're pivoting, and again I've said this
on the last episode.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
I'm doing it. I'll be the guineagig for the fancy streets.
I'm putting a manor in my starting lineups. I'm sitting
Jamaar Chase because i need a win.
Speaker 1 (15:35):
We never thought of a bet between me and La
kwand waer for three weeks.
Speaker 4 (15:41):
Next three weeks, man, But.
Speaker 2 (15:42):
You have to screen screenshot it or it didn't happen. Yeah,
we need to screenshot out.
Speaker 1 (15:46):
The thing I thought was like eating something really hot
on the pod or something like that. We got to
figure something out.
Speaker 4 (15:52):
Next three weeks.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Some team Jamar Chase, your team elk Iomner apparently.
Speaker 3 (15:56):
Like, I know it's fire content only you see the
flat flame of my emoji.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
But I don't like spicy stuff.
Speaker 3 (16:01):
So we're gonna have to we want to talk off
camera about how spicy we're gonna do it.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
We'll figure this out as can be.
Speaker 2 (16:08):
Doing some doing some some hot ones challenges here.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Who knows, We'll see.
Speaker 5 (16:13):
Uh.
Speaker 2 (16:13):
Anyway, we'll see if Jamar Chase can bounce back coming
up this week against the Denver Broncos. Back to our
starts and siths speaking of wide receivers, Uh, Florio, who
are your starts and sits at the wide receiver position?
Speaker 1 (16:24):
This way? I think Roman doingsa is just a must
start option at this point, but I want to drive
that point home a Mecca Abuca to me, I'm just
riding it out until the wheels fall off, even with
Mike Evans out.
Speaker 5 (16:36):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (16:36):
I don't worry about that all the chargers receivers. I
have just a gut feeling. I think this is going
to be Lady mcconkey's week as opposing defenses start to
finally pivot and realize they have to actually be worried
about the other guys out there. And then rookie week
continues with Ted McMillan, sorry tetaroa McMillan his mom does
not like to call him tet and Matthew Golden already
(16:58):
kind of spoke about I think those are two good
matchups for the rookies there. Lakwan just was talking about
how he doesn't really want to be waiting on te
Higgins Monday. I agree. I think t Higgins is a
sit Travis Hunter, to me, is a sit key on Coleman,
just because I think the Bills could win however they
want in this one. I'm not sure it's going to
(17:18):
be airing the ball out and then Calvin Ridley, Like,
I'm not dropping Ridley, but until we see any signs
of life, you cannot start well.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
They have made a change in play calling down there
in Tennessee, Brian Callaghan giving up play calling duties. We'll
see if that gets Calvin Ridley going, but so far
it has been disappointing, to say the least. Back to
the Packers, though, Lakwan florio big on Matthew Golden this week.
Speaker 1 (17:42):
Where you call it falling on.
Speaker 3 (17:43):
Golden, it's breakout week, it's the golden ticket error. I
definitely think they're going to have a lot of opportunities
in practice to get that deep ball connected. I think
last week was very encouraging to see that he led
the Packers and receiving yards. You see how they want
to utilize him all over this offense. So I'm really
excited this match of that they get a soft defense
where they can utilize him a lot more downfield, and
(18:04):
him and Jordan Love can build on that chemistry with
this practice game against that terrible cowboy secondary.
Speaker 2 (18:10):
On the other side, Travis Hunter, who obviously has been disappointing.
This is your chance to continue your your Trevor Lawrence
anti Trevor Lawrence crusade. But the other part of this
lak On is Travis Hunt just playing a lot more
defense as well. He's got to be benchable at this point, right.
Speaker 4 (18:30):
Yeah, I'm not going to take the victory.
Speaker 6 (18:32):
Life.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
I can smile a little.
Speaker 5 (18:34):
Bit because I've said Travis Hunter is going to be
a fantasy headache.
Speaker 4 (18:40):
And ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Week four. Here
we are. It is the fantasy edache that is on
the rise.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
He's near the drop zone for a lot of people
that are hitting in the dms of what to do
with him. I don't know if you could trade him,
I don't know if you could star him. But he's
going to be playing a lot more defense, and whila,
the Shack's defense is actually pretty good. At taking the
ball away. I'm not sure it's his presence on the
field helping that, but I do think if he's making
one area of the field better, I mean one side
of the ball better, I don't see him really flexing
(19:05):
as much as we want him to be fantasy relevant
on offense.
Speaker 4 (19:08):
If Trevor mid Lawrens can't get it together.
Speaker 2 (19:11):
That's the thing for me is it's mostly the quarterback situation.
But I am just paying attention to how much more
defense he's playing, and that has been very notable over
the last couple of weeks. Floy over to the tight
ends your starts and since at the tight end position
for this week.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
I think this is the Tyler Warren blow up game
that we have been waiting for. We've seen the floor.
I think I think we get to see you talk
about it all the time, how you guys can't guard
tight ends. Tucker Craft must start option against the Cowboys.
I think Jake Ferguson is a muscle. Like in the
article I listed tight ends that I'd rather play over
Ferguson this week and it's less than five. Hunter Henry
(19:48):
looking like a very strong start moving forward, and dal
Kin Kate sneakily has been the top target in the
last two games for the Bills and then David and Joku.
He is not top forty yards double digit Fantasy points
in the game this year. Zach Ertz is more of
a floor play, but it's a tough matchup and floors
tend to get lowered in tough matchups. Kyle Pitts Senior now,
(20:10):
uh just with Darnel Mooney being back, he's kind of
falling to third in the target pecking order. Love Wind,
I joked, is like the squid word meme where he's
watching all the other rookies get to run out and
play and he just doesn't get to because they don't
use him. And then John new Smith like there, Arthur
Smith hates this guy. He's like, you had a career year,
you're coming back with me and you're playing the tight
(20:31):
end two role again, Like it's just unusable with him
and Pat Fryan with splitting work like that.
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Arthur Smith continues to be publican, I mean number one
for Fantasy.
Speaker 6 (20:38):
Many streets, Boogeyman, just oh Man Hunter, Henry though Lakwan,
I mean, I know Drake Mason's they want to get
Stefan Digs more involved, but Hunter Henry continues to be
that guy they look for.
Speaker 1 (20:49):
Near the end zone and we just love that touchdown upside.
Speaker 3 (20:53):
Absolutely, I'm always gonna chase those hids if it's a
high touchdown presence. I really think that he is the
command of this offense wing. Really, you look at the
wide receivers, there's no real identity of a wide receiver
one in this offense. Hunter Henry looks like his top
option that Drake may is going to target when he
needs to in the time.
Speaker 4 (21:10):
If they're down or if they're driving.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
I think that Hunter Henry is wildly under roster right
now in less than fifty percent of league. So I
picked him up as a tight end two if he
needs to take over, if my guy like George kidto
A isn't back yet, or if I have Travis Kelcey,
that's disappointing. I think he could save a lot of
rosters for the rest of the season just based on
him being the top function of this Patriots offense.
Speaker 2 (21:32):
I mean, speaking of Hunter henraymy leading the team in
targets and receiving yards. I actually had to check to
see that Stefan Diggs was healthy I'm like, I have
not heard his.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Name at all this year. He's healthy here, not in
a football sense, you're in a very other difference, in
very different sense.
Speaker 2 (21:48):
I really was like, maybe he's hurt and I just
missed it somewhere, but no, he's just not getting the.
Speaker 1 (21:52):
Ball in any real way there in New England.
Speaker 2 (21:55):
So anyway, for more starts in six, you can go
to nfl dot com slash Start sit. Check out all
of Florio's picks for this week, get a little bit
of analysis for them as well. Get the biggest glass
of horchata you can find. Time for our spicy takes
for week four. Maybe not too spicy because Lakwan doesn't
really like spice, but you got some spot.
Speaker 1 (22:13):
I see your bold prediction. I'm on board with your
bold prediction this week.
Speaker 4 (22:16):
Let's goal. We're on the same side of defense man,
my hot take, my bold prediction.
Speaker 3 (22:21):
I just say Arondez Gaskin is going to put up
fifteen plus Fantasy points this week.
Speaker 4 (22:26):
And I think at Jim.
Speaker 3 (22:28):
Rball giving him the praise, the confidence praise that we've
seen give to QJ and where he's stepping up. I
think Ronde Gass is coming in on his debut, putting
up seven targets, five catches boarding Lambcocky. I do think
Aronde Gascuz the second is going to be put in
very favorable positions to put up big fantasy points this week.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
Made his debut, got targeted seven times on twenty routes.
That's a pretty good ratio, and with those other three
receivers balling out, you get some open up opportunities there.
Speaker 1 (22:56):
Florio your hot take for this week. Every single is
gonna play well pretty much like I think Week four.
I keep saying it. We're gonna look back and be like,
that is the week that this rookie class arrived. I
think Ashton Genty, Traveon Henderson, Quinnshaw, Judkins, Tyler Warren, Tetuo, McMillan,
and Matthew Golden all have their best games fantasy wise
(23:16):
through their first month of the season and everything Hampton,
Abuca and cam Skataboo have. They've already had like big,
huge games, but I think they continue and stay hot
as well.
Speaker 2 (23:26):
Yeah, it's taking a while for some of these guys
to break through, but maybe this is the week it
finally happens.
Speaker 1 (23:30):
I also noticed he didn't mention RJ. Harvey just saying
you need to see the field to break out. That's
true for me.
Speaker 2 (23:37):
You might be waiting all day for Sunday Night, but
it's gonna be a worthwhile wait. If you have one
of the two tight ends in the game you saw
on Florio start sit list both Tucker Craft and Jake Ferguson.
I think both of those guys give you twenty plus
points on Sunday Night football. They're both the most targeted
guys in their respective offenses. The Packers struggle against tight ends,
the Cowboys struggle against everybody. I think both those guys
(23:59):
are gonna get a lot of targets. They both have
touchdown upside, and they absolutely should be in your lineups
for this week. So there you go. That is it.
Speaker 1 (24:07):
We are done.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1 (24:11):
You know the drill.
Speaker 2 (24:11):
Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and
remember instant gratification takes too long. Be safe, take care
of yourselves, enjoy week for everybody. We'll talk to you
again on Monday.
