Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dan's with us Week four for fantasy football owners. He's
he's got to help owners who have oh in three teams.
He's with Fantastics, Insider Football, Serious XM Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
He's on Twitter at Dan Klaskins Dan. I'm in one.
Speaker 1 (00:13):
I'm in two leagues and one. We have twelve teams.
We have three divisions for each. In one division, there's
a guy who's three and zero, who has scored this
season forty four fewer points than me, and yet I'm
zero in three and in last place.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I think my league is rigged.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
It is. Maybe you're just jinked.
Speaker 4 (00:31):
The black cloud follows you everywhere, my friend, But you
know what I mean.
Speaker 3 (00:37):
It brings us into odds and.
Speaker 4 (00:38):
At oh win three, at least according to Yahoo and
a tweet they put out on based on yes or
last year's results yesterday, twenty one point eight percent chance
of you making the playoffs based off last year's results.
That's roughly one in five teams you start winless. You
gotta not mean teams make the playoffs in your fantasy league.
If it's six out of twelve teams erroo and three,
it's not as big of a deal.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
The key staying.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
Engaged making those smart moves knowing that hey, it's wide
open in there. A single win next week and really
swing things as well. And again stay active, not desperate.
You got to start streaming their defenses and quarterbacks instead
of forcing this. Bands starts looking ahead the matchups and
bye weeks are starting up here. I'm obviously stay active
on waivers. It's a long game, fourteen plus weeks.
Speaker 3 (01:23):
Usually before we get to the playoffs.
Speaker 4 (01:25):
So let's not panic, but you do need to sort
of be honest about your roster. In some cases it's
definitely worse than others.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
My roster's awesome and I'm Owen free.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
By the way, it's also worth mentioning bye weeks are starting,
so's international games. We've got one in Dublin this week
starting at nine thirty on. So that always gets fantasy owners.
Don't let that happen to you. Let's take a look
at it. Yes, I've had it. I've had it where
it's like I I wake up games on and it's like, oh, yeah,
this is typically when I set my lineup now.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
So there was a situation literally, yeah, I think it
was two seasons. Alvin Kamara a pretty.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Big fantasy come out of the no previous indication of
injury or anything, and he got scratched at eight thirty
in the morning, and he was in so many lineups.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It was a big, big disaster.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Uh yeah, it's happened. Happened to the best of us
and the worst of us. Let's take a look at
some critical Week four injuries, starting in Dallas.
Speaker 4 (02:20):
Yeah, I mean the big buzz kill of the week
in fantasy last week with Ceedee Lamb limping off the field,
likely headed to ih R multiple week injury here has
an ankle issue.
Speaker 3 (02:29):
In his absence, obviously.
Speaker 4 (02:31):
We're downticking back and a lot of that passing attack
maybe this week against the Packers especially, not really liking
those matchups. Mike Evans another big name receiver limping off
the field a hamstring injury.
Speaker 3 (02:43):
He's not going to go on ir but definitely going
to miss a few weeks.
Speaker 4 (02:46):
The Bucks are hopeful maybe Chris Godwin gets back from
this ankle issue.
Speaker 3 (02:50):
Amika Kabuka, the sensational rookie.
Speaker 4 (02:52):
Will likely be leaned on a little more than they like.
But a tough matchup here as well, with the Eagles
on tap. Another big name receiver on the list. Is
Terry McLaurin a quad issue. Not at practice today for
a second straight day. I don't think he's playing this week.
We'll wait and get official confirmation on Friday, and that's
a likely when we hear official confirmation for the Commanders.
On quarterback, Jade and Daniels been a limited participants with thenee.
Speaker 3 (03:14):
He's got to get cleared by doctors.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Is optimistic though a potential return here a matchup against.
Speaker 3 (03:20):
Atlanta on tap Rock. Purty looking like he could return
for the Niners.
Speaker 4 (03:24):
He's dealing with the tow issue a lesser degree than
Burrow with his turk toe, but a painful injury nonetheless,
so we'll see. Dushin Field's not clear from concussion pro
call for the Jets, but he did practice in fool today,
so that's likely a formality. He's trending in the right
direction as well. We know Carson Wentz is in for
this week and probably a couple more as JJ McCarthy
(03:45):
deals with that ankle issues. There's still plenty of fluidity
at quarterback, and then the running back injuries really the
big ones of the week. James Conner out for the
season with the foot Nazi Harris with an achilles issue.
I was watching both of those injuries live and those
things where they just didn't show the highlight it's again
for a minute, So that.
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Was pretty sad to see. But man, it's a Marion
Hampton season in LA. The rookie is gonna get an
action there in trade Benson. Don't love him tonight against
that tough.
Speaker 4 (04:10):
Seattle defense as much, but certainly a fantasy come out
of the down stretched Tyrone and Tracy another running back
out three to four weeks for the Giants with the shoulder.
Speaker 3 (04:18):
My guy Cam Scattabo loved him at Arizona State.
Speaker 4 (04:21):
Love the way he runs and suddenly getting on that
flex RB three radar in that Giants backfield.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
Our guy Dan Klaskins with US talking fantasy Football, Fantastics,
Insider Football on Serious Xam, Serious Exam Fantasy.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Give me your studs, studs and sleepers.
Speaker 4 (04:38):
Yeah, love me some Bucky Irving this week. I mean
not that I think he's gonna be the top running back,
but he's certainly in line to be a top ten
running back. I expect the Bucks to get back Tristan works.
We mentioned, We definitely mentioned that.
Speaker 3 (04:53):
You know they're gonna not be without the.
Speaker 4 (04:55):
Receivers, so I expect them to even lean Onimore in
the passing game.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Tyreek Hill another receiver.
Speaker 4 (05:00):
I know that you know it's been pretty disappointing, but man,
he did pass the eyeball test for me a week ago.
Speaker 3 (05:05):
Right now he is healthy. I expected to be a
pretty high.
Speaker 4 (05:08):
Scoring game with Miami in one with the Jets in
Miami and one, I think the Dolphins will win. I
think Tyreek Hill has his best day. I got him
in my top twelve for the first time all season.
On the dud side, I mean, I'm sitting Trevor Lawrence
until further than there.
Speaker 3 (05:20):
Seed's got to play his way into the lineup, but
I'm not sure he ever will again. I have my doubts,
a little bit.
Speaker 4 (05:26):
Of bitterness two mode, because I was buying into him
on a sort of some props and some different things.
But at San Francisco this week, not inside my top
twenty and covin Ridley, I mean Tennessee. Not only they
have a tough match up here against a winless Houston
team where the defense is still pretty good, but I
mean Elick Amanar has been awesome, the rookie with cam
Ward Ridley Knackett in the target, so he's on the bench,
(05:47):
and then a couple of sleepers. We're going to throw
out Drake May. He's going against Carolina, especially in there's
one QB league where you're streaming quarterbacks. If he's out there,
he's a top ten play this week and I got
him beat some crow on the Colts. I mean, like
the defense. I was skeptical of the offense, but that's
back when I thought Anthony Richardson was going to be
the quarterback or the old version of Daniel Jones. But man,
(06:08):
they look good on offense. And Michael Pittman Junior two
out of three games, fourteen plus PPR points. I like
him this week as a wide receiver three play versus
the Rams in a game, I expect the Colts to
win flat out.
Speaker 1 (06:19):

listener league, but you have a new way for people
to get involved this year. What is the do Good
