Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dan Claskins is here. The website is good sportsinfo dot com.
He is on x at Dan Klaskins, and he's here
to dispense some Week six fantasy football advice, and God
knows I need it, Hi, Dan, No, I mean I'm dying.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
And now are we five? And now are we still
undefeated with one of these teams? No?
Speaker 1 (00:19):
I took my first loss last week. I'm still in
first place, but I'm now four in my But here's
the thing. I could handle a loss in that league, right,
four and one is fine. I'm in good shape. I
needed a win in my other league. I was one
and three going into last week, and I got torched.
So I'm now one in four. I'm teetering on the brink.
(00:40):
I'm like the Bengals. I need some help.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
Oh I gosh. Well, let's hope we can help you.
The Bengals got a better shot than one in four
fantasy think so I think maybe. But let's dive into it. Brother,
All right, let's do it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Let's start where I took a beating last week, and
that's at the running back position. Give me some running
back trends.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Yeah, I have asume things to highlight here and we'll
talk about starting with DeAndre Swift, and I'll be the
first I met. I don't have him on any teams
because I wasn't that high on the guy. But one
thing has come for sure the last two weeks twenty
four point eight PPR points per game after just five,
oh excuse me, six point five PPR points the first
three weeks of the season. And what's really interesting about
(01:21):
this mo is his touches his running backs year. It's
all the numbers there are pretty similar over the span
of time. He's just being more effective. I think it's
the Bears are just getting good. They're figuring out their identity.
I like Swift as an R and B two if
you have him, but enter at your own risk. Another
guy that's an RB two guy is Remandre Stevenson up
the Patriots, and I was a little worried last week
(01:42):
there was a lot of buzz. Antonio Gibson drew the
start because of Stevenson's fumbling issues, and Stevenson did end
up paying off for Fantasy manager as the youth team
last week Big day nineteen point teen fantasy points. But
a deeper dive here. You look at the snaps, you
look at the running of the routes and all the
true metrics, because it was truly a fifty to fifty split.
So I don't know if we can expect Stevenson to
(02:04):
be the best back out of that backfield every week,
but certainly liking him here. And then finally Rico Daddle,
I talked him out as a sleeper last week. Hope
you listen. His roles growing up from sixty percent seventy
one point four percent running back share. He also hit
a season high fifty percent snap raiate. He is indeed
the running back in Dallas, and now that we know
(02:26):
that he does have some fantasy value, all right.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
Let's take a look at some of these significant Week
six injuries. Starting in Houston.
Speaker 2 (02:34):
Yeah, buzzfield City, if you got Nico Collins placed on
injured reserve, but the hamstring issue out at least four
games now. And I'm expecting this based off of some
people that you know, I've seen that are more knowledgeable
than me of the situation they're protecting six weeks here.
So this is a big blow for a guy that
was some fantasy's top receiver over the first month A J.
(02:55):
Brown DeVante Smith. Good news there for the Eagles. Both
those guys trending in the right direction coming out of
that bye week. Brown himself has missed two games. He'll
probably be back, as will Smith in Sunday's matchup versus
the Browns. My last neighbor's not looking as good though.
But the concussion, yeah, that might be good for the
Bengals fans, but not santasy managers. And they're coming out
of a ten day week here where they played on
(03:16):
Thursday Night football. He barely has, you know, cleared any
of the protocol, didn't do much today. I'm not thinking
he's playing. We'll see and track it as we go
through the weekend. At running back, it's Aaron Jones with
the hip issue. Not gonna matter this week. The Vikings
are on a bye, but Ty Chandler could have some
value coming out there. If he's available in your league,
you might want to scoop him up. Jonathan Taylor could
be dicey with an ankle. Trace Sermon did return to
(03:38):
practice today, would be the guy out of Indy devon
a chan but the concussion needs a clear protocol. We
did see Joe Mixon back of practice day with an ankle,
so that's good. Looks like Anthony Richards trendity towards playing
with his oblique injury. But Derek Carr for the Saints
as their hotspire, can have miss at least a couple
of games within the bleak injury of his own Spencer
Rattler taking over a quarterback, And you know, if I'm
sitting on Chris o Lave or Shed Shaheed, you know
(04:02):
it is risky rolling those guys in the lineup but
not knowing what the rookie might be capable of.
Speaker 1 (04:06):
No, yeah, no, no question. All right, let's roll through
Dan Glaskins, get Sportsinfo dot Com or Weekly Studs, Duds
and Sleepers.
Speaker 2 (04:16):
Yeah, I mean, you know what. The Bengal Super Bowl
prediction might not be looking good, but my Burrow bounced
back the prompt beds I made the pilgrimage I was
on on my serious XM show. Burrow was looking pretty awesome.
We've all seen the metrics amongst the league leader in
all key categories. I love him against the Giants this week.
I got him a number three of my QB rankings.
And as bad as that defense is for real life football,
(04:37):
it's helping fuel the fantasy numbers. So you're rolling him.
You're rowing Tea, You're rowing Jamar for sure. That passing
game is looking good. You know else is looking good.
My other stud is Drake London finally looking like himself.
Man Kirk Cousins starting coming in his own there in Atlanta.
We saw it last Thursday night in a big way
as he went off for five hundred plus yards. I
love London to have a one hundred plus yards and
(04:58):
a score as they hit the road to Carolina in
this the visual match up there on the dud side,
Travsetn the workloads, span trapped averc tank pigs becoming that too.
He's dealing with a minor rib issue. Jacksonville in playing
Chicago in London this week twenty six in my rank,
so he's gonna sit in some places. And Mark Andrews
(05:18):
another dud. The Ravens busted out a third tight end
last week for the Bengals, so just another mix in there.
Andrews a guy that was a fourth fifth round pick
in some leagues, he's not even startable, and the shower
leagues he might consider him. Ben dropping him. And we'll
leave you with a couple of sleepers for this week.
I'm gonna go to the well MO pick a running
back first, the Bengals. Now if Devin single Parry's rolled
(05:39):
out Tyrone, Tracy Junior is for sure in some fantasy
lineups at there his big day in Seattle last week.
But even if Singletary is active in this bye week
that we're in with all these injuries, I think Tracy
has enough upside to be a flex play. And Jalen Tolbert.
Last week it was Jordan Winnington, that wide receiver three four.
I told you desper Manager is a pick up. He
paid off until he got hurt Tober, He's gonna pay
(06:01):
off two. He's got about only Ceedee Lamb has a
more target share, but Brandon cooks on I are Jalen
Tilbert suddenly a top forty ish receiver every week? I
like him in this matchups. I think the Cowboys will
be playing catch up Perth the Lions.
Speaker 1 (06:13):
Yeah, Jalen Tolbert at the end of that game on
Sunday nights last Monday morning, I thought was like dying
of a heart attack. And now we're going to add
him to our fantasy team. So it's amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:23):
Yeah, it's amazing. Selfishly, I was wishing he dropped that
touchdown because I named the Steelers on the money line
on the back of a couple of different parlays. But
so uh, you know, we won't.
Speaker 1 (06:33):
Talk about that though we are we are, we are
speaking the same language. What's happening at GID sportsinfo dot com.

Speaker 2 (07:04):
All right, good luck, mo. I hope you pick up
that much needed dub, and more importantly, let's hope the
Bengals do as well.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Yes, I don't know if that's more important, but equally important,
we'll go with uh. We'll go with that, all right, Dan,
equally importance to everybody there you go, uh. Dan Klaskins
