Speaker 1 (00:02):
Dan Claskins is here.
Speaker 2 (00:03):
It's the Orto Sinsey Moeggers Show on ESPN fifteen thirty.
It's our weekly fantasy football assistance, help, advice, whatever you
want to call it. Get sportsinfo dot com. Dan is
on x at Dan Klaskins. I am four and oh
in a fantasy football league for the first time ever.
Speaker 3 (00:20):
Dan, Yes, it's been one of the seasons I expect
the unexpected, and that's about as unexpected as.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
A cup, it really truly is. I'm one in three
in the other so I should get too cocky. But
I'm four and out a fantasy football league. I'm the
lone undefeated owner, so I'm feeling quite good about myself league.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
I'm in league. I'm not four and out in any
of my friends.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (00:43):
All right, this is an important week.
Speaker 2 (00:46):
We've got to let the audience know about some things
that are happening here in week five.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
Yeah, let's start with our annual public service announcement. Let's
get the international series continuing out of the way, because yeah,
we thought week one on the Friday night in Brazil.
That didn't mess us up too bad. But hey, the
next three weeks we got nine to thirty AM kickoffs
with three straight games, and London kicked off here in
week five at the Jets and the Viking, Jacksonville and
(01:11):
the Bears, Bonn Weekause Jagson the passing week seven. So
sethia alarm clocks. Last year, let me remind you Alvin Kamara,
who wasn't even on the injury report, was scratched at
your pregame warm up around eight fifty in the morning
and left many managers empty handed. The bigger concern this week,
MO is bye week's beginning. We've got four teams on
buy this week with the Lions, the Chargers, the Eagles
(01:33):
and the Titans. Four next week and then after that
just four total bys in week seven through ten, Week
ten through twelve. You got four teams on a by
no boys in week thirteen and then six a season
I signified a week fourteen. I thought I could figure
out the pattern. I can't really do it. Let's talk
about the strategy though, these three key points. One, plan
ahead with by weeks. Use your bench spots widely. If
(01:55):
you've got a guy that's ruled out, you can put
him on iron, go ahead and pick up that defensive
week early. Keith an eye this is the biggest one.
Keep an eye on the transactions daily is managers, especially
in tower things, they get forced into tough decisions and
you see good players getting dropped like on Friday. And finally,
consider by weeks when assessing trades, whether you're making a
trade or trying to accept an offer. You know, if
(02:16):
a guy has more games left than the player you're
getting in the deal, that's not a.
Speaker 1 (02:19):
Good thing, very good.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
I made a trade yesterday with a co worker, and
I felt like I was kind of strong armed, and
now I'm already regretting it all. Yeah, I feel like
I was sort of pressured into making the deal that
I actually.
Speaker 3 (02:33):
I think when you feel good about the trade is
usually when it doesn't work out. That's usually when it's
a good sign you're good. So I don't know, maybe
that's just me, but you're four and trying to be
that good.
Speaker 1 (02:44):
That's that's right. Everybody's looking up to me.
Speaker 2 (02:47):
All right, let's look at the injury list, starting with
a big one in Kansas City.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Yeah, well, a devastating blow last week for fantasy, especially
Rashie Rice, a player that I certainly had plenty of
exposure to in my fantasy portfolio today it was officially
placed than I are. We all know what the results are.
They're waiting for the swelling to go down for what's
left to this Chiefs offense is also buzzkill City. They
already lost the Checko. They already lost Hollywood Brown. Patrick
(03:14):
Malmes suddenly looking pretty average and least in fantasy. Devonte
Adams missed last week with the hamstring or hurt feelings
or whatever it is, but his days in the Raider
appear to be over. We'll see where he gets traded
to and when that happens, but you can rule him
out this week. You should look elsewhere obviously, Ja Kobe
Myers and Tray Turner more of an enhance role there
(03:34):
in Las Vegas. Malik Neighbors. This is another pretty big
blow here. Rookie of the Year candidates sustained a concussion
a week ago in one of the final plays of
that Thursday night game. First, the Cowboys beat writers calling
him doubtful not necessarily has a long shot to play
here this week, so we're not expecting to make the
trip to Seattle. Thank dll, looks like he's on his
(03:57):
way back into missing last week, but the targets are down.
I'm going to let him play his way in the
lineup and running back a couple ankle injuries, everybody's going
to keep watching Jonathan Taylor a high ankle sprain last week.
I'd be shocked if he played this week. Trace Sermons
backed up Joe Mixon. I thought he was going to
return last week, maybe return this week. He didn't practice today,
so we'll keep our eyes on that. Uh. Brian rich
(04:18):
Brian Robinson Jr. I should say, is out a practice
so far this week for the Commanders. We're going to
keep a close eye on that as well. Austin Eckler
miss last week a concussion. It could be Joe Flacco
time this week if Anthony Richardson couldn't play. He was
a limited participant today for the Colts. And we'll see
if any of these tight ends trade McBride, Evan Ingram
and David and Joke who get their way back into
(04:38):
the make some joke. He's already practiced, so looking good.
The other two. We'll see how things look on Friday.
Speaker 2 (04:43):
Dan Klaskins good sportsinfo dot Com with our weekly look
at fantasy football, and he studs duds and sleepers.
Speaker 3 (04:51):
Yeah, let's start with some studs, and man, it was
pretty studley last week. Good to see Jordan Love back
in the mix there. Did throw a few picks, but
I'll take the four touchdown in the big yard. It's
all day long. I'm looking for similar things this week
against the Rams. He's locked in as a top five
QV on my board, and Deyontay Johnson. Ever since Andy
Dalton has arrived under center here for Carolina, Johnson's been
(05:13):
a top ten receiver. That's exactly how I project him
this week. I actually think the Panthers win in Chicago.
And as on the dud side of it, I do
like revenge game narrative in most cases and Caam Darnold
certainly had an MVP candidate Tyke season early on. Here
he plays this former team of justin London on Sunday morning.
But man, that defense is good. No defense has allowed
(05:33):
fewer fantasy points quarterbacks. So we're gonna see Darnald regardless
how hot he is. And another dud Kyle Pitts. How
about this for a dud, the guys had no more
than three receptions. I should say he's only a clipped
three receptions in two of his last fifteen games. He's
sitting until he can play his way back in don't
go with him tonight versus the Bucks and a couple
of sleepers a little deeper than my normal sleepers. I
(05:54):
like Rico Dabdle this week. He has taken ownership of
that mediocre Cowboys backfield sixty one and sixty one or
sixty one and a half sixty one point one percent
shares out of that back in the last two weeks,
and I think he's an RB three this week, even
in a tough matchup with Pittsburgh and Jordan Winnington, a
guy who was a fast riser in August after some
training camp success, obviously had a decorated college career. Twenty
(06:18):
seven point three percent target share against the Bears last week.
That's the highest on the team. Only Cooper Cup in
Week one got more. I like him this week. I
think the Rams are trying to keep pace with the Packers.
He is a deep sleeper he should consider.
Speaker 2 (06:30):
Do you think if you start four and oh, you
should get your league feedback?
Speaker 3 (06:35):
Well hopefully do mo? I mean that's what you're playing for,
is the cast at the end of the season. But
I will say I will say four and O has
something to be good for those that haven't started as fast,
keep grinding. It's a wacky, weird season here, and I
will definitely think that there's still plenty of time to
turn things around. Obviously, injuries always sort of stink, but
every every fantasy teams got injuries on it more some
(06:57):
more than others.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
All right, let's talk about what's happening against sportsinfo dot com.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Well, you always get my picks there. Obviously, my podcast,
the Fantastics Insider Football podcast, you can find there. You
can also subscribe wherever that listens. And I got my
Thursday night bet up there this week spoiler, and I
like some points to be scored tonight. No, I like
some points.
Speaker 2 (07:17):
All right, very good bucks falps, NFC South Tilt. Looking
forward to it, and we'll talk next week hopefully. I'm
five and oh, thank you very much, five.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
And oh five and oh. I love the sound of it.
Good luck to everybody, enjoy the game.
