Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, what's up everybody?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's Me Your Man, MG. Marcus Grand join by Michael
Florio and Lakwan Jones. I see the smirk on your face. Lakwan, MVP, MVP.
I am here.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I am true to my word. Paying off the bed
the Rams beat the forty nine ers. I am wearing
a Matthew Stafford jersey. Unbeknownst to Lakwan, I don't mind
having this number on my chest because I played When
I played sports, I was always number nine, So you know,
it's sort of works out.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It looks good on you, though, I'll say that. I
mean I I make most things look good. What do
you say? It's not too late for you to come
over to the good side.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You're in la now, man. Let those forty winers in
the past, man, you look good in blue and gold.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Man. Peek behind the curtain though.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
We walked in me and LaQuan today with Laqwan holding
the Stafford jersey, and Marcus just goes.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, which really which really only made him more upset,
like this is even what I'm losing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm winning. It's great, terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Let's talk about on the show today, we're gonna look
at some of the best games of week eleven and
Rashie Rice Cooke, the Broncos. Plus we got trade targets,
Sleepers and more. But then let's get started, as we
normally do on this show, with some fantasy headlines. Gonna
start down in Arizona. We're a little bit of a
surprise hitting us on Wednesday morning. Marvin Harrison Junior will
(01:27):
not play against the forty nine ers coming up this
week because yeah, had emergency appendix surgery, So he is
going to be out at least for this week, certainly
wishing him a speedy recovery. But Laquaram, I ask you
this one is it? Could it be Michael Wilson season?
Could we even see the reopening of Dorschland for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, you're back open, folks. Let's go Greg dors Listen.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I understand it's hard to even put him in starting
lineups and have full faith that Drew Petsing understands his assignment.
Give it to your most explosive players. But lately we've
been seeing design play is getting rushing touchdowns as well
getting deep down passes. I look at Greg Dorsch's this right.
He's one of my favorite players. Man, he's a former RAM.
Some folks don't know. I have full faith in Greg
(02:11):
dors this week to step up, show up, and show out.
So listen more wounded teams out there, teams that are
just looking at buyers when you look like I don't
have any options. Look, Greg Dorsch, go.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Seal the deal man. Put us some big points this week.
I smell the popcorn from dortschlam. Yes, look, I'm not
gonna sound I love Doors like he does.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But I actually one hundred percent the forty nine ers
have been terrible at covering the soft this year, so that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That should lead to Greg Dortch having a good game.
To have a good game, I just I just want
to get a dorschland reference in the show of Doors.
Slam Man, we know this it's back open, then you
want to get it in the show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Other things that we love on this show, or Jameis
Winston and I said on Fantasy Live on Tuesday show,
I basically said, give.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Us Jameis Winston, you cowards.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And credit to Mike Kafka, he's giving us Jameis Winston.
He is going to get the start for the Giants
in week eleven with Jackson Dart dealing with concussion symptoms. So,
for are we feeling about James Winston eating Dubs.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Maybe I'm so excited to have Jameis Winston playing and
being able to watch him and everything. I don't know
if I'm brave enough to get him in a starting line.
It's because of the matchup, right, Like if they were
playing some inn a favorable matchup, I'd be all about it.
But they're playing the Green Bay Packers, who more often
(03:27):
than not shut down the opposing offense. So I'm excited
to watch it. But from a giant standpoint, my viewpoint
hasn't really changed. Like, no Jackson Dart, but you're throwing
a dart, no pun intended. Darius Slayton feels like like
he could go boom in this one.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yes, I mean, at least the thing for me with
Jamis is it makes me feel a little better about
Slayton and Wandell Robinson, like he's gonna get the ball downfield,
Like yeah, Jamis Is. Like I mean, it's sort of
like we saw with Joe Flacco. We see what Jacobe
pri said, like he understands the assignment. I'm gonna find
my playmakers. I'm gonna throw in the football. That's what makes
me feel better about Jamis. But no, I'm not starting Jamis.
(04:03):
But I'm excited to see Jamis, that's all I know.
I think we're not excited to see Travis Hunter. Unfortunately,
he is gone for the rest of the year, had
season ending knee surgery. I know the Jaguars tried to
be optimistic about this early on, saying there was no
major structural damage, but it turns out you did have
to have surgery. So LQ looking at this a way
too early ADP potentially for Hunter, who was what like
(04:25):
a sixth round pick, seventh round pick up mostly this
year where we feeling.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Him out for next year.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Listen, it has to be round seven to ten, Like
I think that's reasonable for him, being that he is
an electric player, like we see him make these big plays.
I mean, hopefully next season Trevor mid Lawrence gets back
to form to being t law But I have no
real hopes for me personally drafting him because we see
how he was being utilized this season right on both
sides of the ball. I need security at that situation
(04:52):
at the wide receiver position on a week to week
basis only one game this season over ten plus fantasy points. Like,
it's insane that we at Travis Hunter being this talented person,
but he's just not working in this system to be
a fantasy relevant player. So it could be exciting to
draft him and have him as a flex option. But
if you're going to go into next year with a
guy that's coming off an injury, that's playing on both
(05:13):
sides of the ball, with a quarterback, that I've said
is maybe you don't really have the likes of being
every week starter on my roster.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I mean I do think because at this point
too in the season, you're probably looking at him maybe
missing the first few weeks of the year, you know,
dealing with that probably on the pup list to start
the season. The sad part of Floyda you and I
have talked to Cam Wolf in recent weeks and he
has really been emphasizing that the Jaguars were turning a
corner and really trying to make him the focal point
of the offense. And then unfortunately the knee injury happened,
(05:43):
so that kind of scrapped all those plans.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Sadly you're out there in dynasty though, throw a low
ball off rus.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, like always if somebody's willing to play something. Broncos
reportedly considering putting JK. Dobbins on injured reserve. He is
dealing with a foot injury right now. So Flora's just
been in his finally, finally, finally RJ. Harvey season or
is Tyler Bedey gonna recall that it has.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
To be RJ.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Harvey season, like, but they could have a role. But
I mean, Harvey has looked like their best runner. And
it was funny because the other day watching the game,
I was like, is JK. Dobbins hurt? And then he
came back in and I was like, I guess not,
And then it turns out no, he very much so
is injured. But the thing about Harvey, we've already seen
Harvey have the bigger fantasy days. The floor is very low,
(06:28):
But the biggest games by Broncos running backs this year
have been RJ. Harvey because he's better in the passing game,
he's more explosive, and he's been getting more utilized in
the red zone. This is kind of like it's a
situation where it becomes the best case for fantasy because
it gets more funneled to one guy rather than it's
splitting between two or three like Champagne has been doing.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I mean, it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Took pretty much everyone turning to dustin New England for
Trevion Henderson to get his opportunity. So now we've seen
a lot of folks unfortunately turn to dust In Denver
and maybe maybe fantasy community.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I know it took ten weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
We were proven right, right, like like if you use
Treveon in a certain way, it will succeed.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That could be the case with R. J. Harvey, Braviyon Henderson,
the missing Williams.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I mean, like we have been ahead of the curve
as a group on a lot of things. We're glad
the NFL coaches are starting to catch up to where
we are, so we appreciate that. Only two teams on
a bye this week, the Indianapolis Colts and the New
Orleans Saints. So a few key pieces missing. Certainly you're
talking about Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren H. Brislave, so you
(07:34):
have to get his head out, Michael Pittman. A few
pieces missing across fantasy football, but certainly not as bad
as it has been in previous weeks, so that allows
us to fully turn the page into week eleven. We
get the Thursday night preview. We've got the first to
score touchdown odds with the Jets and the Patriots on
Thursday Night Football. Very little surprise, it is very Patriot
(07:54):
heavy here right. Number one though, Traveon Henderson top of
the list, followed by Ramandrete, Stefan, Diggs, Hunter, Henry.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The loan Jets on the list is Breece Hall.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So as we take a further look into this one,
Lakwana have a simple.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Question for you, why are the Jets? I looked at
this on the rund I'm like, I don't have an answer.
But this week on the episode of the New Jersey Jets,
I mean Jim Tan find out who is the starting
quarterback heloone. But looking at this right, we see Breeshall
as the lone warrior on that board and he is
the only thing that is going to be positive coming
(08:31):
from this offense. He's the only one that's going to
be able to move the change. This week looks like
a scary matchup, just like last week against the Browns,
but we see that he's still put up RB one numbers,
so I'm still sliding him in the starting lineups. I'm
not hesitating with breeseall rest of the season. He still
needs to be paid.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
He's still going to go out there and bawl out
and hope that he can cast in the check going
into next season. But the other pass catchers we are
stepping completely back. I would say this, I wouldn't be
surprised to see Tyrod Taylor go out there rest of
the season because I know Tyrod not going to go
out there and.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Put fifty four yards in four quarters.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So until we see the change at the quarterback position,
I'm kind of standoffish with most Jets players outside of
Breeze Hall.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure we're gonna see Justin
Fields again this week.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's a short week.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Aaron Glynn is appairly just not answering questions because somebody
tried to ask about Garrett Wilson's injury situation and he.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Was lessing guys like like, I don't know if you
guys remember it. D sure, I know you don't watch much.
But when who wrote the note, it was kind of
obvious who wrote the note, who the starting quarterback is?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right, Like, yeah, so, I'm not really sure what mind
games Aaron Glynn thinks he's playing other than just aggravating
the people who cover him on.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
A daily base. All right, bro, we're done. We're not
buying tickets to the circus no more.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Exactly on the other side, we saw Trevion Henderson Florio
had the best odds to score the first touchdown. Does
this mean we get a Trevion on court in week eleven?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I think so?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Like one, why would you see what he did last
week against a Bucks defense that not allowed anyone to
run like that against them all year and be like
we should put him back on the sideline. Like, I
know Stevenson got in a limited practice this week, but
with it being a short week and it being the Jets,
I would not be surprised if they lean towards.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Keeping him out another game.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Plus, I mean, I think Henderson has looked good enough
the last couple of weeks to.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Earn more of a role. How he are so he
is also the more explosive runner of the two.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So if we get a split, I actually lean Trevion
because the big plays are going to be more on
his side than Stevenson's.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Side, Stevenson averaging about three point three yards per carry,
Henderson over his last three games about almost seven.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And a half yards per carry. So like so obvious,
like one is a little bit better than the other.
Round in one of these things is not like the
others for sure. So we'll say if Mike Vrabel and
Josh McDaniels agreed. Getting further into the week.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Eleven slate the final international game of the season, Commanders
and Dolphins in Madrid. Of course, you can see that
game on NFL Network and on NFL Plus. It's at
nine to thirty am Eastern time. A subscription required for
NFL Plus. Terms that embargoes apply. I wasn't bandated to
read that. I just it just comes out. Jaydon Daniels
(11:10):
has been ruled out. He's not expected to travel to
Spain with the rest of the team LACAUI. I think
we sort of talked about the Commanders and the fact
that we're just not really big on any of these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Now, maybe Zach Eritz is kind of sleepery.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know how many Dolphins would you start this
week against a bad defense?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
All of them?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I say that confidently because when we look at
what the commanders have been doing all season long. I
know Dan Quinn is calling the shots now on defense,
but I still look at this Dolphins offense that possess
some type of splash plays, like they're going out there
against a defense that has allowed the second most fantasy
points per game to the wide receiver position. And then
when you look at they allowed five or more explosive
(11:49):
passes in eight games this season, that is the most
in the NFL. So two is even considered to be
a QB one production this week, look at Milik Washington.
You're flirting with the idea that you could put him
in the flex, but he's been making plays downfield as well,
getting utilized a lot like John new Smith in the
red zone, and he's getting those deep shots like how
Tyreek Hill was in when he was healthy. So I
look at Waddle obviously as a start. You look at
(12:10):
Devon Han obviously as a start. Waddle has actually been
great as a high end wide receiver too since Tyreek
Hill has hit the injury reserves. So I look at
Tyreek Hill averaging fifteen fantasy points per game. Yeah, we're
gonna go ahead and plug in a lot of Dolphins
this week.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I like Tua as a sleeper. I mean, you know
you're starting a Chan's that's without a question. So yeah,
a lot more ball Dolphins in play this week for sure, Tony.
Our attention to Seahawks and Rams big one, maybe the
best one on paper of the week, big one in
the NFC West, big one in the NFC in general.
I think with the Rams, we sort of know how
we're feeling about those guys. But I want to ask
(12:44):
you about the other side, because the Seahawks running backs
have been frustrating to say the least. Can you trust
either of them against this Rams defense?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, Because the Rams defense have been really stout holding
these running backs out of the end zone. You have
Brian Robinson Junior finding the end zone for the first
rushing touchdown allowed to the position with the Rams defense.
So I look at Kenneth Walker and Zach Sharvinay, they're
eating each other alive when it comes to the opportunities,
and that is such a headache for fantasy managers trying
to guess and pinpoint which one to put him in.
(13:15):
So even having them as flex options, like you're running
a risk for low floors, especially a good division game
where you look at the Rams defense, they've been holding
it down to the running back position.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, it's been it's been really tough.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean if you look at Kenneth Walker, Keith Walker's
RB twenty seven, Zach Charbonay is RB thirty three. I mean,
if you put them together, they are a top seven
running back. They could form like Voltron, but as steparate entities.
It's not very exciting to talk about, not at all.
Another interesting game on the schedule, the Buccaneers and to
(13:48):
Buffalo to take on the Bills and Florio. We're not
sure what's happening with Bucky Irving right now. Last week
there was a lot of Sean Tucker. I know, you
know the Bills run d defense has been less than great.
If you were in a pinch or in a deep league,
would you stream Sean Tucker this week?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah. In fact, in a league where I have JK.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Dobbins as one of my RB twos or flex options,
I picked up Tucker and he is my fallback plan
if we do see Dobbins, go on ir because he,
like you said, getting more opportunity. The last two games,
he's averaging eleven opportunities per game, and when I love
almost a twenty percent explosive run rate in that span,
it is zero for Rashad White, and speed and explosiveness
(14:29):
is what has killed the Bills this year.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So while I do think.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
White isn't played because of the volume he sees, Tucker
is definitely a sleeper and a streaming options.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I mean I would, I would kind of reemphasize,
like this is a kind of a deeper league thing.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, you're in a ten team league. You're not throwing
Sean Tucker. There's a lot of wounded teams out there. There
are a lot of wounded teams out there for no
Jonathan Taylor this week.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So yeah, yeah, that one doesn't It's like a bite
out on a lot of a lot of fantasy lineups.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We are done, gonna take a quick break come back.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We've got some trade candidates because the trade deadline in
fantasy has started to approach, so we're talking about that
plus some more Week eleven previews. That's all coming up
next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Trade deadlines is
a couple of weeks away in most fantasy leagues, so
time to start thinking about vat in case you haven't already.
So we got some trade candidates, Lakwan, and start with
(15:23):
the guy that you want people to trade for.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Trade for Juwan Johnson.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like, honestly, looking at last week hitting a season high
with Tyler Schuck and Tyler Schuck showing some promising you
know things, and I think right now with him on
the buy is a good place to target your league
made that needs right now impact a guy like Zach Sharbonne.
I'm putting out there to acquire Juwan Johnson, Halal Jeer,
even a Dalton Schultz who you just picked up off
the waiver ward to kind of convince and paint that
picture that you have right now impact to get Juwan
(15:49):
Johnson on your roster. So I look at man, he
is a top ten tight end in six games is
that's tied the second most among the tight ends trade
McBride at number one, So he is creeping up there.
So Juwan Johnson is definitely a target that gives you
stability at the tight end position.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right, Clorio, this is the guy you you just
haven't given up on yet, huh. So it's a little
bit different this time.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's aj Brown, who admittedly himself was like, if you
have any to get rid of me, The thing is
his value is never going to be lower. Originally because
it has a lot to do with the schedule as well.
I was gonna put DeVonta Smith, but then I was
seeing so much talk on Fantasy Twitter and stuff like
Devanta's the real wide receiver one here, So I'm like, look, yeah,
(16:29):
I wouldn't be paying a round one or two price
to get aj Brown on my team right now, but
you don't have to to get him, Like if you
could get him as like a wide receiver two or three,
I think it's worth the shot. Because here's who they face,
the Lions, the Cowboys, the Bears, Chargers tough matchup then Raiders,
Commanders Bills is their Fantasy playoff schedule. There's one tough
matchup the rest of the way, So I think it's
(16:52):
worth trying to buy low and get this talent with
their favorable schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean I know that, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Aj Brown's kind of salty about it by the game
before this, like I like him this week though, So
sometimes you have to pay up to get guys, and
Devon ah Chan is worth paying up for and there
might be a manager in your league. That's their team
is struggling and they have Devon ah Chan. They might
be willing to part with him, but he is the
one guy that, regardless of circumstances, you know you can.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Count on in this Miami offense.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Like, yeah, this is a good week for the Dolphins
in general, but you look at the schedule commanders. This week,
they've got the Saints, the Jets, the Steelers, the Bengals,
the Bucks. That is the rest of their fantasy season schedule.
It's about as good a schedule as you could imagine
for a running back who's already getting a lot of opportunity,
who we've seen can be explosive. The matchup is very
much in his favor. So yeah, you're gonna have to
(17:42):
pay up to get Devon ah Chan. It's going to
be worth it in the long run for you. Those
are guys we are trying to acquire Lakwan. Who's somebody
you are ready to say goodbye to. I'm ready to
say goodbye to Justin Jefferson. His name is still selling
out there, and I think you could do a two
for one deal for him if you can paint the
picture like, hey, it's Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The touchdowns are come.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
But last week there was a huge red flag on
that interception that JJ McCarthy. It looked like Justin Jefferson
was checking out. Frustrations are obviously with Justin Jefferson only
one game this season over twenty fantasy points. We're looking
at Justin Jefferson right now as a solid wide receiver two.
Like fourteen fantasy points per game for Justin Jefferson is
not doing it when I pay a high round investment.
So getting him off your roster and acquiring like a
(18:21):
Lad McConkey, acquiring a Davonte Smith, Yeah, I said it, man,
But honestly, Justin Jefferson needs to go. And I can
acquire a high end wide receiver two or wide receiver one.
I really like those options. If you can get him,
I will.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Take Justin Jefferson on every team that you're trading him.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
All right, All right, right, AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson sort
of the schedule for Justin Jefferson is amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The rest of the way, I need a stability. I
don't need to get it back. That looks like he
got wet behind the years on the rookie years here.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
You know, all right, who are you saying goodbye to
Florio Javonte Williams Because you talk about one, I do
get a little. He is on pace to just blow
by his previous career high in touches. Also, the last
couple of weeks haven't quite been what the early season was.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But it's more the.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Schedule the rest of the way for me as well,
Like this week the Raiders not a terrible matchup, but
then the Eagles, which is a really tough one.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The Chiefs are really tough.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Against the run, the Lions, the Vikings, the Chargers, and
then he ends with the Commanders. There's two games in
there that I'm like, Okay, that's not a tough schedule,
a tough matchup for him. So because of that, I
think we've reached a point of the year where you
should be looking at a at the schedules before you
make any.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Moves, and his is just not a favorable one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, he's been, I mean, certainly exceeding my expectations for
him this year, and you do wonder whether or not
it starts to catch up with him at some point
later in the season.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I'm I think it's time to move on from Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I think the name still brings a little bit of
something there because on paper, you look at it, you
immediately think, oh, yeah, well he's the wide receiver one.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But the last two or three weeks that hasn't been
the case.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Troy Franklin looks like he has surpassed Sutton in this offense.
It's Franklin that's getting most of the opportunities to getting
most of the targets here and sudden kind of I mean,
he's still sort of in the mix, but definitely not
on the same level that he was on top of it.
His schedule not very great. He's got the Chiefs twice,
(20:20):
still left on the schedule, He's got the Packers. There
are a couple nice matchups with the Commanders and the Raiders,
and I think if you're trying to move him, I
think those are the selling points that maybe you're using.
But there's a lot more difficult matchups than there are
favorable matchups, and with him not getting the volume of targets,
it's going to be hard to really feel confident about having.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Him in your lineup on a given week.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So prabably a little bit more of these before the
trade deadline hits given some more options to either acquire
or move on from as.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You chase a fantasy playoff spot. But back to our
game previews.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Got the Chargers in Jacksonville for the Jaguars and Lakwan.
Travis Etn sort of been up and down. Last two
weeks have been better. Do we trust him this week
against the Chargers?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I trust him this week with the Chargers on the
schedule because they're allowing four point nine yards per carry
to the running back position. Also, they are still missing
tackles at the highest rate. But my trust has never
been against Traves Etn. The first four weeks he was
amazing eighteen and a half opportunities per game and sixteen
Fantasy points per game.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
When you look at.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That little small period in the three game span weeks
five through seven, this is the time that Brian Thomas
Junior was frustrated. This is the time that Travis Hunter
started to come along. They were figuring out the identity
if Trevor mid Lawrence is going to be made or low,
and that's obviously not the issue. Now having travesy Etn
your starting lineups is a muss against the Charges this week.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All right, so we're back on the Travis etn train.
I know it was getting so frustrating that Adam Rank
was trying to promote base shall tooton for a while,
but that then that didn't quite happen. There chiefs at
the Broncos, big one in the AFC West, The Broncos,
we know, very good at shutting down wide receivers. So Florio,
any worries about starting Orshi Rice this week?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Nope, Look, it's not an ideal matchup, and I think
if you have Rashi Rice, you have to be prepared
for the fact that it might be a lesser.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Scoring week than we normally get out of him.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
But I worry less about him than a normal wide
receiver because of everything you're seeing on the screen right now.
Like they yes, he can play regular wide receiver routes,
and he runs those, but they also generate a ton
of really quick short touches for him. Just put him
in space, catch and run. They utilize him like crazy
in the red zone and in the end zone. They'll
give him some carries at times. So yeah, Like the
(22:31):
upside is still far too high for me to ever
consider sitting him. I think he is top three top five, Like,
I'm very bullish on'm Rashid Rice the rest of the way,
and yeah, I'm starting him in every spot that I have.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All Right, So we're still trusting Rashi Rice in a
tough match up, at least on paper against the Denver Broncos.
Bears at Vikings kind of interesting one in the NFC
North Lakwan, you already said you're ready to move on
from Justin Jefferson. So I think I know the answer
to this question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can you
start multiple Vikings wide receivers against the Bears defense that
has been.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I think you can.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think Jordan Addison still remains in play, at least
in the last couple of weeks. He still holds his
solid target share. He still holds that deep threat ability
because he's still running those type of routes and he
has that upside to get the big yards on this
Bears defense. But Jalen Naylor has been popping up a
lot in the fantasy streets, and I'm really concerned with volume.
Like we look at Jalen Naylor as a big play,
you know, wide receiver as well, But this week I
(23:23):
might be a little hesitant of putting him putting him
in a net flex position because this could be a
week we finally get TJ. Hockson to get on board
because he has been very disappointing with JJ McCarthy. So
I look at this as like I'm going to play
it safe this week because it is a divisional matchup.
We can't treat these games as if these numbers are
going to be relevant to outside the division. These teams
played twice a year every year. They know their tricks,
(23:44):
they know their tendency. So I really want to push
back on Jalen Naylor being that he had a big
game last week to put him in starting lineup.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I mean the thing about Naylor is it like Addison
and Jefferson still had like twenty three targets between the
two of them, Like it was nice that that Naylor
had the big plays. I don't know that I trusting
and Jay Hawkinson's you know.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
What we figured out on Fantasy Love the other day,
Every skill position player in Minnesota has a J initial
because Adam Deielen's my name is John, so so across.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The board they all have a Jay. Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I wonder if that's like a recruiting tapicer scouts scouting
being from Minnesota, do you have a JA in your name?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No? Sorry, sorry, We'll have to move on all right.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Anyway, of course we'll dive into some more of these
Sunday games coming up later on in the week as well, but.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
For now, it's time to see who will deliver.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Presented by Uber Eats our sleepers for Week eleven and
uh lakwan, you are leaning into this thirteen personnel. The
rams are big on now.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Absolutely, we're going with a tight end right now in
this firework game. I really do think this is going
to be a game that we see Terrence ferguson shine.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is my huge snorlax this week.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I really feel like with the Seahawks alound fifteen fantasy
points per game through the tight end position that is
bottom of the table. This thirteen personnel has been cooking.
Man McVeigh has been getting in his bag disguising a
lot of these plays. You don't know if they're going
to run it. You don't know which tight end is
going to go well for pass. And as you can see,
they've been using him vertically downfield. He's the only tight
end that's being utilized this way in that thirteen personnel,
(25:07):
and they got twelve touchdowns in thirteen p personnel, so
they're going to be generating a lot of things for
Terrence Ferguson against the Seahawks defense.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right, So we got Terrence Ferguson on one side.
Who's your You got another tight end over here too.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's become one of my favorite storylines though, that McVeigh
went from never using the tight end to building everything
around tight ends.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's why he's a great coach for me.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
No offense, though, we saw Noah Fan go out and
have success in this matchup in the first go around
in Week seven, he got them for fourteen point four
fantasy points. But the Steelers have just struggled against tight
ends all year. Fifth most fantasy points per game, eighth
most yards per game. Two tight ends and one that
I don't know you're on as well, Iaquana, so you
post about it. I think Frian Ruth on the other
(25:48):
side is also a stall in this one. So two
tight end sleepers, I mean, there's a lot of sleepers
and this could be the highest scoring game.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Can we get a bold prediction all three tight ends
scoring yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Have this, but that would be wild.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah. I do actually like both Fan and Friarmoth in
this one, which means it's going to be like, you know,
I don't know Mike, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I said, he's hurt, so he's not there, but you
know it'll be all Darnell.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Darnell Washington ran exactly what's gonna be my sleeper. We
touched on it near the top of the show, and
it's still a tongue of iloa. This week, going against
the Commanders, they have been incredibly quarterback friendly.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
In fact, four straight weeks the.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Opposing quarterback has had twenty or more Fantasy points against
the Washington Commanders. Of course, we saw a couple of
weeks ago Sam Darnold go absolutely nuclear against them.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They've just been bad, bad, bad.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Certainly hasn't helped losing Marshawn Lattimore a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But I think this is a week for.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Two who we know can exploit bad matchups or I
guess favorables match ups against bad defenses. He can take
advantage of those. This is one of those, so I
like I like him a lot. In that game over
there in Madrid coming up, this weekend. That was Who
Will Deliver dented by Uber Eats, where you can get
the best deals on game day food all season long,
(27:04):
the official on demand delivery partner of the NFL Order.
Speaker 1 (27:08):
Now that is it. We are done.
Speaker 2 (27:10):
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1 (27:13):
You know the drill.
Speaker 2 (27:14):
Tell two friends to tell two friends, rate review, and remember,
being an adult is mostly just googling how to do stuff.
Be safe, take care of yourselves. We will talk to
you again real soon
Wow, what's up everybody?
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1 (00:14):
It's Me Your Man, MG. Marcus Grand join by Michael
Florio and Lakwan Jones. I see the smirk on your face. Lakwan, MVP, MVP.
I am here.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
I am true to my word. Paying off the bed
the Rams beat the forty nine ers. I am wearing
a Matthew Stafford jersey. Unbeknownst to Lakwan, I don't mind
having this number on my chest because I played When
I played sports, I was always number nine, So you know,
it's sort of works out.
Speaker 1 (00:38):
It looks good on you, though, I'll say that. I
mean I I make most things look good. What do
you say? It's not too late for you to come
over to the good side.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
You're in la now, man. Let those forty winers in
the past, man, you look good in blue and gold.
Speaker 1 (00:49):
Man. Peek behind the curtain though.
Speaker 4 (00:51):
We walked in me and LaQuan today with Laqwan holding
the Stafford jersey, and Marcus just goes.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
Okay, which really which really only made him more upset,
like this is even what I'm losing.
Speaker 1 (01:03):
I'm winning. It's great, terrible.
Speaker 2 (01:05):
Let's talk about on the show today, we're gonna look
at some of the best games of week eleven and
Rashie Rice Cooke, the Broncos. Plus we got trade targets,
Sleepers and more. But then let's get started, as we
normally do on this show, with some fantasy headlines. Gonna
start down in Arizona. We're a little bit of a
surprise hitting us on Wednesday morning. Marvin Harrison Junior will
(01:27):
not play against the forty nine ers coming up this
week because yeah, had emergency appendix surgery, So he is
going to be out at least for this week, certainly
wishing him a speedy recovery. But Laquaram, I ask you
this one is it? Could it be Michael Wilson season?
Could we even see the reopening of Dorschland for the Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (01:46):
Well, you're back open, folks. Let's go Greg dors Listen.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
I understand it's hard to even put him in starting
lineups and have full faith that Drew Petsing understands his assignment.
Give it to your most explosive players. But lately we've
been seeing design play is getting rushing touchdowns as well
getting deep down passes. I look at Greg Dorsch's this right.
He's one of my favorite players. Man, he's a former RAM.
Some folks don't know. I have full faith in Greg
(02:11):
dors this week to step up, show up, and show out.
So listen more wounded teams out there, teams that are
just looking at buyers when you look like I don't
have any options. Look, Greg Dorsch, go.
Speaker 1 (02:20):
Seal the deal man. Put us some big points this week.
I smell the popcorn from dortschlam. Yes, look, I'm not
gonna sound I love Doors like he does.
Speaker 4 (02:28):
But I actually one hundred percent the forty nine ers
have been terrible at covering the soft this year, so that.
Speaker 1 (02:33):
That should lead to Greg Dortch having a good game.
To have a good game, I just I just want
to get a dorschland reference in the show of Doors.
Slam Man, we know this it's back open, then you
want to get it in the show.
Speaker 2 (02:45):
Other things that we love on this show, or Jameis
Winston and I said on Fantasy Live on Tuesday show,
I basically said, give.
Speaker 1 (02:52):
Us Jameis Winston, you cowards.
Speaker 2 (02:53):
And credit to Mike Kafka, he's giving us Jameis Winston.
He is going to get the start for the Giants
in week eleven with Jackson Dart dealing with concussion symptoms. So,
for are we feeling about James Winston eating Dubs.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
Maybe I'm so excited to have Jameis Winston playing and
being able to watch him and everything. I don't know
if I'm brave enough to get him in a starting line.
It's because of the matchup, right, Like if they were
playing some inn a favorable matchup, I'd be all about it.
But they're playing the Green Bay Packers, who more often
(03:27):
than not shut down the opposing offense. So I'm excited
to watch it. But from a giant standpoint, my viewpoint
hasn't really changed. Like, no Jackson Dart, but you're throwing
a dart, no pun intended. Darius Slayton feels like like
he could go boom in this one.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
Yes, I mean, at least the thing for me with
Jamis is it makes me feel a little better about
Slayton and Wandell Robinson, like he's gonna get the ball downfield,
Like yeah, Jamis Is. Like I mean, it's sort of
like we saw with Joe Flacco. We see what Jacobe
pri said, like he understands the assignment. I'm gonna find
my playmakers. I'm gonna throw in the football. That's what makes
me feel better about Jamis. But no, I'm not starting Jamis.
(04:03):
But I'm excited to see Jamis, that's all I know.
I think we're not excited to see Travis Hunter. Unfortunately,
he is gone for the rest of the year, had
season ending knee surgery. I know the Jaguars tried to
be optimistic about this early on, saying there was no
major structural damage, but it turns out you did have
to have surgery. So LQ looking at this a way
too early ADP potentially for Hunter, who was what like
(04:25):
a sixth round pick, seventh round pick up mostly this
year where we feeling.
Speaker 1 (04:29):
Him out for next year.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Listen, it has to be round seven to ten, Like
I think that's reasonable for him, being that he is
an electric player, like we see him make these big plays.
I mean, hopefully next season Trevor mid Lawrence gets back
to form to being t law But I have no
real hopes for me personally drafting him because we see
how he was being utilized this season right on both
sides of the ball. I need security at that situation
(04:52):
at the wide receiver position on a week to week
basis only one game this season over ten plus fantasy points. Like,
it's insane that we at Travis Hunter being this talented person,
but he's just not working in this system to be
a fantasy relevant player. So it could be exciting to
draft him and have him as a flex option. But
if you're going to go into next year with a
guy that's coming off an injury, that's playing on both
(05:13):
sides of the ball, with a quarterback, that I've said
is maybe you don't really have the likes of being
every week starter on my roster.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
Yeah, I mean I do think because at this point
too in the season, you're probably looking at him maybe
missing the first few weeks of the year, you know,
dealing with that probably on the pup list to start
the season. The sad part of Floyda you and I
have talked to Cam Wolf in recent weeks and he
has really been emphasizing that the Jaguars were turning a
corner and really trying to make him the focal point
of the offense. And then unfortunately the knee injury happened,
(05:43):
so that kind of scrapped all those plans.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
Sadly you're out there in dynasty though, throw a low
ball off rus.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, like always if somebody's willing to play something. Broncos
reportedly considering putting JK. Dobbins on injured reserve. He is
dealing with a foot injury right now. So Flora's just
been in his finally, finally, finally RJ. Harvey season or
is Tyler Bedey gonna recall that it has.
Speaker 1 (06:05):
To be RJ.
Speaker 4 (06:06):
Harvey season, like, but they could have a role. But
I mean, Harvey has looked like their best runner. And
it was funny because the other day watching the game,
I was like, is JK. Dobbins hurt? And then he
came back in and I was like, I guess not,
And then it turns out no, he very much so
is injured. But the thing about Harvey, we've already seen
Harvey have the bigger fantasy days. The floor is very low,
(06:28):
But the biggest games by Broncos running backs this year
have been RJ. Harvey because he's better in the passing game,
he's more explosive, and he's been getting more utilized in
the red zone. This is kind of like it's a
situation where it becomes the best case for fantasy because
it gets more funneled to one guy rather than it's
splitting between two or three like Champagne has been doing.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
I mean, it.
Speaker 2 (06:50):
Took pretty much everyone turning to dustin New England for
Trevion Henderson to get his opportunity. So now we've seen
a lot of folks unfortunately turn to dust In Denver
and maybe maybe fantasy community.
Speaker 1 (07:01):
I know it took ten weeks.
Speaker 4 (07:02):
We were proven right, right, like like if you use
Treveon in a certain way, it will succeed.
Speaker 1 (07:06):
That could be the case with R. J. Harvey, Braviyon Henderson,
the missing Williams.
Speaker 2 (07:11):
I mean, like we have been ahead of the curve
as a group on a lot of things. We're glad
the NFL coaches are starting to catch up to where
we are, so we appreciate that. Only two teams on
a bye this week, the Indianapolis Colts and the New
Orleans Saints. So a few key pieces missing. Certainly you're
talking about Jonathan Taylor, Tyler Warren H. Brislave, so you
(07:34):
have to get his head out, Michael Pittman. A few
pieces missing across fantasy football, but certainly not as bad
as it has been in previous weeks, so that allows
us to fully turn the page into week eleven. We
get the Thursday night preview. We've got the first to
score touchdown odds with the Jets and the Patriots on
Thursday Night Football. Very little surprise, it is very Patriot
(07:54):
heavy here right. Number one though, Traveon Henderson top of
the list, followed by Ramandrete, Stefan, Diggs, Hunter, Henry.
Speaker 1 (08:04):
The loan Jets on the list is Breece Hall.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
So as we take a further look into this one,
Lakwana have a simple.
Speaker 5 (08:11):
Question for you, why are the Jets? I looked at
this on the rund I'm like, I don't have an answer.
But this week on the episode of the New Jersey Jets,
I mean Jim Tan find out who is the starting
quarterback heloone. But looking at this right, we see Breeshall
as the lone warrior on that board and he is
the only thing that is going to be positive coming
(08:31):
from this offense. He's the only one that's going to
be able to move the change. This week looks like
a scary matchup, just like last week against the Browns,
but we see that he's still put up RB one numbers,
so I'm still sliding him in the starting lineups. I'm
not hesitating with breeseall rest of the season. He still
needs to be paid.
Speaker 3 (08:46):
He's still going to go out there and bawl out
and hope that he can cast in the check going
into next season. But the other pass catchers we are
stepping completely back. I would say this, I wouldn't be
surprised to see Tyrod Taylor go out there rest of
the season because I know Tyrod not going to go
out there and.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
Put fifty four yards in four quarters.
Speaker 3 (09:03):
So until we see the change at the quarterback position,
I'm kind of standoffish with most Jets players outside of
Breeze Hall.
Speaker 2 (09:10):
Yeah, I mean, I'm pretty sure we're gonna see Justin
Fields again this week.
Speaker 1 (09:13):
It's a short week.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Aaron Glynn is appairly just not answering questions because somebody
tried to ask about Garrett Wilson's injury situation and he.
Speaker 3 (09:21):
Was lessing guys like like, I don't know if you
guys remember it. D sure, I know you don't watch much.
But when who wrote the note, it was kind of
obvious who wrote the note, who the starting quarterback is?
Speaker 2 (09:32):
Right, Like, yeah, so, I'm not really sure what mind
games Aaron Glynn thinks he's playing other than just aggravating
the people who cover him on.
Speaker 1 (09:41):
A daily base. All right, bro, we're done. We're not
buying tickets to the circus no more.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Exactly on the other side, we saw Trevion Henderson Florio
had the best odds to score the first touchdown. Does
this mean we get a Trevion on court in week eleven?
Speaker 1 (09:53):
I think so?
Speaker 4 (09:54):
Like one, why would you see what he did last
week against a Bucks defense that not allowed anyone to
run like that against them all year and be like
we should put him back on the sideline. Like, I
know Stevenson got in a limited practice this week, but
with it being a short week and it being the Jets,
I would not be surprised if they lean towards.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Keeping him out another game.
Speaker 4 (10:16):
Plus, I mean, I think Henderson has looked good enough
the last couple of weeks to.
Speaker 1 (10:20):
Earn more of a role. How he are so he
is also the more explosive runner of the two.
Speaker 4 (10:25):
So if we get a split, I actually lean Trevion
because the big plays are going to be more on
his side than Stevenson's.
Speaker 2 (10:31):
Side, Stevenson averaging about three point three yards per carry,
Henderson over his last three games about almost seven.
Speaker 1 (10:37):
And a half yards per carry. So like so obvious,
like one is a little bit better than the other.
Round in one of these things is not like the
others for sure. So we'll say if Mike Vrabel and
Josh McDaniels agreed. Getting further into the week.
Speaker 2 (10:50):
Eleven slate the final international game of the season, Commanders
and Dolphins in Madrid. Of course, you can see that
game on NFL Network and on NFL Plus. It's at
nine to thirty am Eastern time. A subscription required for
NFL Plus. Terms that embargoes apply. I wasn't bandated to
read that. I just it just comes out. Jaydon Daniels
(11:10):
has been ruled out. He's not expected to travel to
Spain with the rest of the team LACAUI. I think
we sort of talked about the Commanders and the fact
that we're just not really big on any of these guys.
Speaker 1 (11:22):
Now, maybe Zach Eritz is kind of sleepery.
Speaker 2 (11:24):
I don't know how many Dolphins would you start this
week against a bad defense?
Speaker 1 (11:28):
All of them?
Speaker 3 (11:28):
And I say that confidently because when we look at
what the commanders have been doing all season long. I
know Dan Quinn is calling the shots now on defense,
but I still look at this Dolphins offense that possess
some type of splash plays, like they're going out there
against a defense that has allowed the second most fantasy
points per game to the wide receiver position. And then
when you look at they allowed five or more explosive
(11:49):
passes in eight games this season, that is the most
in the NFL. So two is even considered to be
a QB one production this week, look at Milik Washington.
You're flirting with the idea that you could put him
in the flex, but he's been making plays downfield as well,
getting utilized a lot like John new Smith in the
red zone, and he's getting those deep shots like how
Tyreek Hill was in when he was healthy. So I
look at Waddle obviously as a start. You look at
(12:10):
Devon Han obviously as a start. Waddle has actually been
great as a high end wide receiver too since Tyreek
Hill has hit the injury reserves. So I look at
Tyreek Hill averaging fifteen fantasy points per game. Yeah, we're
gonna go ahead and plug in a lot of Dolphins
this week.
Speaker 1 (12:23):
Yeah, I do.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
I like Tua as a sleeper. I mean, you know
you're starting a Chan's that's without a question. So yeah,
a lot more ball Dolphins in play this week for sure, Tony.
Our attention to Seahawks and Rams big one, maybe the
best one on paper of the week, big one in
the NFC West, big one in the NFC in general.
I think with the Rams, we sort of know how
we're feeling about those guys. But I want to ask
(12:44):
you about the other side, because the Seahawks running backs
have been frustrating to say the least. Can you trust
either of them against this Rams defense?
Speaker 3 (12:53):
No, Because the Rams defense have been really stout holding
these running backs out of the end zone. You have
Brian Robinson Junior finding the end zone for the first
rushing touchdown allowed to the position with the Rams defense.
So I look at Kenneth Walker and Zach Sharvinay, they're
eating each other alive when it comes to the opportunities,
and that is such a headache for fantasy managers trying
to guess and pinpoint which one to put him in.
(13:15):
So even having them as flex options, like you're running
a risk for low floors, especially a good division game
where you look at the Rams defense, they've been holding
it down to the running back position.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, it's been it's been really tough.
Speaker 2 (13:25):
I mean if you look at Kenneth Walker, Keith Walker's
RB twenty seven, Zach Charbonay is RB thirty three. I mean,
if you put them together, they are a top seven
running back. They could form like Voltron, but as steparate entities.
It's not very exciting to talk about, not at all.
Another interesting game on the schedule, the Buccaneers and to
(13:48):
Buffalo to take on the Bills and Florio. We're not
sure what's happening with Bucky Irving right now. Last week
there was a lot of Sean Tucker. I know, you
know the Bills run d defense has been less than great.
If you were in a pinch or in a deep league,
would you stream Sean Tucker this week?
Speaker 1 (14:06):
Yeah. In fact, in a league where I have JK.
Speaker 4 (14:08):
Dobbins as one of my RB twos or flex options,
I picked up Tucker and he is my fallback plan
if we do see Dobbins, go on ir because he,
like you said, getting more opportunity. The last two games,
he's averaging eleven opportunities per game, and when I love
almost a twenty percent explosive run rate in that span,
it is zero for Rashad White, and speed and explosiveness
(14:29):
is what has killed the Bills this year.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
So while I do think.
Speaker 4 (14:33):
White isn't played because of the volume he sees, Tucker
is definitely a sleeper and a streaming options.
Speaker 2 (14:38):
Yeah, I mean I would, I would kind of reemphasize,
like this is a kind of a deeper league thing.
Speaker 1 (14:42):
Yeah, you're in a ten team league. You're not throwing
Sean Tucker. There's a lot of wounded teams out there. There
are a lot of wounded teams out there for no
Jonathan Taylor this week.
Speaker 2 (14:51):
So yeah, yeah, that one doesn't It's like a bite
out on a lot of a lot of fantasy lineups.
Speaker 1 (14:59):
We are done, gonna take a quick break come back.
Speaker 2 (15:01):
We've got some trade candidates because the trade deadline in
fantasy has started to approach, so we're talking about that
plus some more Week eleven previews. That's all coming up
next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Trade deadlines is
a couple of weeks away in most fantasy leagues, so
time to start thinking about vat in case you haven't already.
So we got some trade candidates, Lakwan, and start with
(15:23):
the guy that you want people to trade for.
Speaker 1 (15:25):
Trade for Juwan Johnson.
Speaker 3 (15:26):
Like, honestly, looking at last week hitting a season high
with Tyler Schuck and Tyler Schuck showing some promising you
know things, and I think right now with him on
the buy is a good place to target your league
made that needs right now impact a guy like Zach Sharbonne.
I'm putting out there to acquire Juwan Johnson, Halal Jeer,
even a Dalton Schultz who you just picked up off
the waiver ward to kind of convince and paint that
picture that you have right now impact to get Juwan
(15:49):
Johnson on your roster. So I look at man, he
is a top ten tight end in six games is
that's tied the second most among the tight ends trade
McBride at number one, So he is creeping up there.
So Juwan Johnson is definitely a target that gives you
stability at the tight end position.
Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right, Clorio, this is the guy you you just
haven't given up on yet, huh. So it's a little
bit different this time.
Speaker 4 (16:08):
It's aj Brown, who admittedly himself was like, if you
have any to get rid of me, The thing is
his value is never going to be lower. Originally because
it has a lot to do with the schedule as well.
I was gonna put DeVonta Smith, but then I was
seeing so much talk on Fantasy Twitter and stuff like
Devanta's the real wide receiver one here, So I'm like, look, yeah,
(16:29):
I wouldn't be paying a round one or two price
to get aj Brown on my team right now, but
you don't have to to get him, Like if you
could get him as like a wide receiver two or three,
I think it's worth the shot. Because here's who they face,
the Lions, the Cowboys, the Bears, Chargers tough matchup then Raiders,
Commanders Bills is their Fantasy playoff schedule. There's one tough
matchup the rest of the way, So I think it's
(16:52):
worth trying to buy low and get this talent with
their favorable schedule.
Speaker 1 (16:56):
Yeah, I mean I know that, you know.
Speaker 2 (16:57):
Aj Brown's kind of salty about it by the game
before this, like I like him this week though, So
sometimes you have to pay up to get guys, and
Devon ah Chan is worth paying up for and there
might be a manager in your league. That's their team
is struggling and they have Devon ah Chan. They might
be willing to part with him, but he is the
one guy that, regardless of circumstances, you know you can.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Count on in this Miami offense.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Like, yeah, this is a good week for the Dolphins
in general, but you look at the schedule commanders. This week,
they've got the Saints, the Jets, the Steelers, the Bengals,
the Bucks. That is the rest of their fantasy season schedule.
It's about as good a schedule as you could imagine
for a running back who's already getting a lot of opportunity,
who we've seen can be explosive. The matchup is very
much in his favor. So yeah, you're gonna have to
(17:42):
pay up to get Devon ah Chan. It's going to
be worth it in the long run for you. Those
are guys we are trying to acquire Lakwan. Who's somebody
you are ready to say goodbye to. I'm ready to
say goodbye to Justin Jefferson. His name is still selling
out there, and I think you could do a two
for one deal for him if you can paint the
picture like, hey, it's Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
The touchdowns are come.
Speaker 3 (18:00):
But last week there was a huge red flag on
that interception that JJ McCarthy. It looked like Justin Jefferson
was checking out. Frustrations are obviously with Justin Jefferson only
one game this season over twenty fantasy points. We're looking
at Justin Jefferson right now as a solid wide receiver two.
Like fourteen fantasy points per game for Justin Jefferson is
not doing it when I pay a high round investment.
So getting him off your roster and acquiring like a
(18:21):
Lad McConkey, acquiring a Davonte Smith, Yeah, I said it, man,
But honestly, Justin Jefferson needs to go. And I can
acquire a high end wide receiver two or wide receiver one.
I really like those options. If you can get him,
I will.
Speaker 1 (18:35):
Take Justin Jefferson on every team that you're trading him.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
All right, All right, right, AJ Brown, Justin Jefferson sort
of the schedule for Justin Jefferson is amazing.
Speaker 1 (18:45):
The rest of the way, I need a stability. I
don't need to get it back. That looks like he
got wet behind the years on the rookie years here.
Speaker 4 (18:52):
You know, all right, who are you saying goodbye to
Florio Javonte Williams Because you talk about one, I do
get a little. He is on pace to just blow
by his previous career high in touches. Also, the last
couple of weeks haven't quite been what the early season was.
Speaker 1 (19:10):
But it's more the.
Speaker 4 (19:11):
Schedule the rest of the way for me as well,
Like this week the Raiders not a terrible matchup, but
then the Eagles, which is a really tough one.
Speaker 1 (19:18):
The Chiefs are really tough.
Speaker 4 (19:20):
Against the run, the Lions, the Vikings, the Chargers, and
then he ends with the Commanders. There's two games in
there that I'm like, Okay, that's not a tough schedule,
a tough matchup for him. So because of that, I
think we've reached a point of the year where you
should be looking at a at the schedules before you
make any.
Speaker 1 (19:36):
Moves, and his is just not a favorable one. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (19:39):
Yes, he's been, I mean, certainly exceeding my expectations for
him this year, and you do wonder whether or not
it starts to catch up with him at some point
later in the season.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
I'm I think it's time to move on from Courtland Sutton.
Speaker 2 (19:50):
I think the name still brings a little bit of
something there because on paper, you look at it, you
immediately think, oh, yeah, well he's the wide receiver one.
Speaker 1 (19:57):
But the last two or three weeks that hasn't been
the case.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
Troy Franklin looks like he has surpassed Sutton in this offense.
It's Franklin that's getting most of the opportunities to getting
most of the targets here and sudden kind of I mean,
he's still sort of in the mix, but definitely not
on the same level that he was on top of it.
His schedule not very great. He's got the Chiefs twice,
(20:20):
still left on the schedule, He's got the Packers. There
are a couple nice matchups with the Commanders and the Raiders,
and I think if you're trying to move him, I
think those are the selling points that maybe you're using.
But there's a lot more difficult matchups than there are
favorable matchups, and with him not getting the volume of targets,
it's going to be hard to really feel confident about having.
Speaker 1 (20:37):
Him in your lineup on a given week.
Speaker 2 (20:39):
So prabably a little bit more of these before the
trade deadline hits given some more options to either acquire
or move on from as.
Speaker 1 (20:47):
You chase a fantasy playoff spot. But back to our
game previews.
Speaker 2 (20:51):
Got the Chargers in Jacksonville for the Jaguars and Lakwan.
Travis Etn sort of been up and down. Last two
weeks have been better. Do we trust him this week
against the Chargers?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
Yes?
Speaker 3 (21:01):
I trust him this week with the Chargers on the
schedule because they're allowing four point nine yards per carry
to the running back position. Also, they are still missing
tackles at the highest rate. But my trust has never
been against Traves Etn. The first four weeks he was
amazing eighteen and a half opportunities per game and sixteen
Fantasy points per game.
Speaker 1 (21:18):
When you look at.
Speaker 3 (21:19):
That little small period in the three game span weeks
five through seven, this is the time that Brian Thomas
Junior was frustrated. This is the time that Travis Hunter
started to come along. They were figuring out the identity
if Trevor mid Lawrence is going to be made or low,
and that's obviously not the issue. Now having travesy Etn
your starting lineups is a muss against the Charges this week.
Speaker 2 (21:38):
All right, so we're back on the Travis etn train.
I know it was getting so frustrating that Adam Rank
was trying to promote base shall tooton for a while,
but that then that didn't quite happen. There chiefs at
the Broncos, big one in the AFC West, The Broncos,
we know, very good at shutting down wide receivers. So Florio,
any worries about starting Orshi Rice this week?
Speaker 4 (21:58):
Nope, Look, it's not an ideal matchup, and I think
if you have Rashi Rice, you have to be prepared
for the fact that it might be a lesser.
Speaker 1 (22:07):
Scoring week than we normally get out of him.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
But I worry less about him than a normal wide
receiver because of everything you're seeing on the screen right now.
Like they yes, he can play regular wide receiver routes,
and he runs those, but they also generate a ton
of really quick short touches for him. Just put him
in space, catch and run. They utilize him like crazy
in the red zone and in the end zone. They'll
give him some carries at times. So yeah, Like the
(22:31):
upside is still far too high for me to ever
consider sitting him. I think he is top three top five, Like,
I'm very bullish on'm Rashid Rice the rest of the way,
and yeah, I'm starting him in every spot that I have.
Speaker 2 (22:42):
All Right, So we're still trusting Rashi Rice in a
tough match up, at least on paper against the Denver Broncos.
Bears at Vikings kind of interesting one in the NFC
North Lakwan, you already said you're ready to move on
from Justin Jefferson. So I think I know the answer
to this question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can you
start multiple Vikings wide receivers against the Bears defense that
has been.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
I think you can.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
I think Jordan Addison still remains in play, at least
in the last couple of weeks. He still holds his
solid target share. He still holds that deep threat ability
because he's still running those type of routes and he
has that upside to get the big yards on this
Bears defense. But Jalen Naylor has been popping up a
lot in the fantasy streets, and I'm really concerned with volume.
Like we look at Jalen Naylor as a big play,
you know, wide receiver as well, But this week I
(23:23):
might be a little hesitant of putting him putting him
in a net flex position because this could be a
week we finally get TJ. Hockson to get on board
because he has been very disappointing with JJ McCarthy. So
I look at this as like I'm going to play
it safe this week because it is a divisional matchup.
We can't treat these games as if these numbers are
going to be relevant to outside the division. These teams
played twice a year every year. They know their tricks,
(23:44):
they know their tendency. So I really want to push
back on Jalen Naylor being that he had a big
game last week to put him in starting lineup.
Speaker 1 (23:49):
Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2 (23:50):
I mean the thing about Naylor is it like Addison
and Jefferson still had like twenty three targets between the
two of them, Like it was nice that that Naylor
had the big plays. I don't know that I trusting
and Jay Hawkinson's you know.
Speaker 4 (24:01):
What we figured out on Fantasy Love the other day,
Every skill position player in Minnesota has a J initial
because Adam Deielen's my name is John, so so across.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
The board they all have a Jay. Oh.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I wonder if that's like a recruiting tapicer scouts scouting
being from Minnesota, do you have a JA in your name?
Speaker 1 (24:17):
No? Sorry, sorry, We'll have to move on all right.
Speaker 2 (24:21):
Anyway, of course we'll dive into some more of these
Sunday games coming up later on in the week as well, but.
Speaker 1 (24:26):
For now, it's time to see who will deliver.
Speaker 2 (24:28):
Presented by Uber Eats our sleepers for Week eleven and
uh lakwan, you are leaning into this thirteen personnel. The
rams are big on now.
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Absolutely, we're going with a tight end right now in
this firework game. I really do think this is going
to be a game that we see Terrence ferguson shine.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
This is my huge snorlax this week.
Speaker 3 (24:46):
I really feel like with the Seahawks alound fifteen fantasy
points per game through the tight end position that is
bottom of the table. This thirteen personnel has been cooking.
Man McVeigh has been getting in his bag disguising a
lot of these plays. You don't know if they're going
to run it. You don't know which tight end is
going to go well for pass. And as you can see,
they've been using him vertically downfield. He's the only tight
end that's being utilized this way in that thirteen personnel,
(25:07):
and they got twelve touchdowns in thirteen p personnel, so
they're going to be generating a lot of things for
Terrence Ferguson against the Seahawks defense.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
All right, So we got Terrence Ferguson on one side.
Who's your You got another tight end over here too.
Speaker 4 (25:18):
It's become one of my favorite storylines though, that McVeigh
went from never using the tight end to building everything
around tight ends.
Speaker 1 (25:25):
It's why he's a great coach for me.
Speaker 4 (25:27):
No offense, though, we saw Noah Fan go out and
have success in this matchup in the first go around
in Week seven, he got them for fourteen point four
fantasy points. But the Steelers have just struggled against tight
ends all year. Fifth most fantasy points per game, eighth
most yards per game. Two tight ends and one that
I don't know you're on as well, Iaquana, so you
post about it. I think Frian Ruth on the other
(25:48):
side is also a stall in this one. So two
tight end sleepers, I mean, there's a lot of sleepers
and this could be the highest scoring game.
Speaker 3 (25:56):
Can we get a bold prediction all three tight ends
scoring yeah, I.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Have this, but that would be wild.
Speaker 2 (26:03):
Yeah. I do actually like both Fan and Friarmoth in
this one, which means it's going to be like, you know,
I don't know Mike, Mike.
Speaker 1 (26:10):
I said, he's hurt, so he's not there, but you
know it'll be all Darnell.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Darnell Washington ran exactly what's gonna be my sleeper. We
touched on it near the top of the show, and
it's still a tongue of iloa. This week, going against
the Commanders, they have been incredibly quarterback friendly.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
In fact, four straight weeks the.
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Opposing quarterback has had twenty or more Fantasy points against
the Washington Commanders. Of course, we saw a couple of
weeks ago Sam Darnold go absolutely nuclear against them.
Speaker 1 (26:36):
They've just been bad, bad, bad.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
Certainly hasn't helped losing Marshawn Lattimore a couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1 (26:42):
But I think this is a week for.
Speaker 2 (26:43):
Two who we know can exploit bad matchups or I
guess favorables match ups against bad defenses. He can take
advantage of those. This is one of those, so I
like I like him a lot. In that game over
there in Madrid coming up, this weekend. That was Who

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
