Episode Transcript

(00:03):
It's time for the fantasy football guys. Two guys who have just the right
amount of athletic ability for fantasy football. Three guys here. They are Lyle
Conkiel and Kevin Moore, the fantasyfootball guys. That's right, we're the
fantasy football guys. Kevin Lyle,Oh wow, that threw me off.

(00:28):
I was not expecting. All right, Well, I guess that'll be my
thing. I had the same amountof penalties as the Eagles this weekend.
Oh look, he's Robbie with zeropenalties. How about that? Well,
some of them were offsetting, that'strue, zero accepted, and there were
a few picked up as well.Right, the call on the field was
you know, right, but weall saw the face mask, we all

(00:54):
saw the hold. Yeah, therewas some penalties, and of course,
people, this is the worst scriptedgame I've ever seen. It's the officiating.
NFL is horrible. Did you guyssee the Iowa game? No?
I didn't. Well that's college.I know it's college, but still it's
officiating. Like a minute left inthe game, Uh, punt returned for

(01:15):
a touchdown. After the play,there was a review and one of the
refs apparently said that, oh,actually he called for a fair catch,
so no touchdown, and you lookat a review and there was no fair
catch call. He was signaling tohis teammates like stay away, stay.
He didn't have his I did seethat play. He didn't have his hand
above his shoulder. He was justmotioning people to go left right. So

(01:40):
after the touchdown they called it afair catch, but there was no flag
for legal touching after the fair catch. They didn't blow the play dead.
They just decided after the touchdown,oh, actually not a touchdown, fair
catch. Yeah. Did they loseas a result they did? That is
horrendous and obviously some collusion or something. Did they not like cover or something.

(02:05):
I don't know. I don't knowwhat the pred was. It was
definitely some sort of fukery. Youknow, it would be f o okay
E er I E. That iswhat they call shade to the d That's
what they call it. By theway, you know, Twitter is a
ex or whatever you want to callit now is one of the places where
I find a lot of humorous thingsand you might go, hey, well,
how was that. Well, here'shere's a conversation. A Twitter conversation

(02:29):
happened between Brady Quinn and Deshaun Watson'sprivate quarterback coach, Quincy Avery. Did
you see this? Lyle? Idid not. I can't wait. So
basically Quinn on Twitter said, everyonewith a medical opinion is clear. Deshaun
watson situation is almost similar to akid getting a two hundred and thirty million

(02:50):
dollar trust fund. You asked themto go get a job, and they
really don't have any incentive to doit. So Quinn Avery, the private
quarterback coach for Deshaun Watson, said, Brady, I'm gonna be real,
you don't know what the f youare talking about and sit behind a microphone
gossiping like a little high school check. There was a little more back and
forth and then Quinn basically drops somemic with how about we massage this conversation

(03:13):
and get it to a happy ending? Does that sound satisfactory? That is
brilliant. So at first I lovethe arc, the character arc here.
At first I was like, Bretty, Quinn, shut your mouth, like
what you talk about? Like stop, you tried it, you didn't make
it. Yeah whatever, But thatback and forth, now now I'm in

(03:34):
Brady Quinn's corner. Well yeah,just you know, and the and the
guy was like, oh, thatthat's the joke you were waiting to drop.
All right, well I'm gonna I'mgoing to table this conversation until we
see each other in person, whichof course has the threat of physical violence
attached to it. Of course,but there might be an ass webbing of
foot might be deserved. But wellmaybe if DeShawn delivers it away. This

(03:59):
guy's quarter back coach coming up tohim. I mean, you know,
you defend people whatever. I don'tknow, you defend your homies. Man,
I get I'm rose before bros.I'm not going to you know.
I I guess if you know somebodywas messing with you, i'd watch you
throw your your jiu jitsu on himand snap their shit off. That's exactly
how it works, by the wayyou throw jiu jitsu at them. Yeah.

(04:20):
Yeah, And I'd just be therewith a camera going, you know,
world star, you know what Imean. That's all I need you
to do. And dude, Idon't care how good of an iPhone you
have, you have to shake itand make the video terrible. YEA,
intentionally set it down to like fourADP Right, seriously, back up,
have a horrible angle, and atsome point during the recording of it,

(04:42):
I have to get my face inand go whoo. You know what I
mean, That's how it goes,That's how it has to work. Don't
ever have the video focused and centeredon the action. You only need to
That's not how this works. Halfthe action and frame. Sometimes you're looking
at your own shoes, you know. Yeah, I don't understand the internet.
Somebody will grab the phone, youknow, two two beautiful women will

(05:06):
start fighting and clothes come off,right, and then the camera just just
veers left, just gone. It'slike, dude, this this is the
moment we were waiting for. Whatare you what are you doing? Gone?
Yeah? Well, I mean that'sthere's something wrong with that on a

(05:30):
some sort of level. But yeah, you're not wrong a terrible cameraman level.
All Right, we digressed and really, you know, spiraled this whole
conversation down to somehow while talking aboutwomen's clothes coming off in a fight.
Oh oh oh oh oh, amI offending you? Oh yeah, you

(05:50):
know you're offending me. You don'tlike you don't like breasts. To stop
it, Kevin, I'm sure you'reoffending somebody. Lyle on. Then I
always who cares to hear a nineeleven joke? Mostly? Yeah, I
mean it's it's been you know,it's been a while. Well, last
time I told one, it crashedand burned. Oh okay, So let's

(06:11):
let's get to some news here.We have the full slate of games after
last week's by apocalypse. This week, no, no team's on buy sorry
Week eight all right, So alot of injuries here. He mostered as
an angle. No participation in practicetoday, Jaylen Waddle in his back officially
limited re killed it in practice todaywith his hip. Apparently the entire uh

(06:33):
you know, skill set uh divisionof the Miami Dolphins is injured. Anyway,
Trail and Burke's practiced in full today. Good for him. Yeah,
did you guys watch that? Thatwas nasty? What that that injury?
Yeah? Yeah, yeah, Imean dude landed on his doll? Yeah?

(06:53):
Then why does he have a kneeinjury? Curious? I don't know
what was that, Burkes I thiguringabout. Somebody must be something unless he
you know, unless while he washitting himself in the head, somebody hit
him in the knee. I don'tknow. I don't know, Lee,
hold on, I'll look it up. All right, you do that,
I'll proceed. Curtis Samuel has afoot and participation practice today. Kam with
Drake London. I think I didsee him laanding on his head. Yeah,

(07:16):
yeah, it was Drake London,young receiver. Sorry, got him
mixed up? Gotcha. Chris Godwinneck questionable to play Week eight. That
game is coming up on Thursday.They need everything they can they can muster
against the Bills. Baker Mayfield hasa knee officially questionable for Thursday. We'll
talk about that game here in asecond. Zach Moss sideline in practice today.

(07:40):
Uh, let's see. Alvin Kamarahas an illness. He didn't practice.
Taysom Hill has a chest issue.He was limited today in practice.
Zay Jones game. What's that?Tase Mill won me a game? Well
yeah, I mean we're talking aboutthat last week, whether or not to
play him in a in a tightend spot if you don't have one of
the good ones. And that's that'swhat I had to do out of tight
end by I stuck him in andhe got what eighteen something like that,

(08:03):
something like that. That's what youdo. Zay Jones knee still bothering him,
he's out. Taylor Trey Taylor.Trevor Lawrence has a knee, he's
he was limited today. Darren Wallerhas a hammy limited practice. Sammy Darnald
could very well start against Cincinnati becauseBrock Party is in the concussion protocol,

(08:24):
so it might be Sammy d liningup against Cincy. To be honest with
you, I don't think they'll missa beat. I don't think so.
I disagree. Okay, Party's gettinga lot of flak, but I still
think he's a very good quarterback.I do too, and we've talked about
this, but you know, Ithink he's very good. But I don't

(08:45):
think they're asking him to, youknow, be Tom Brady. I think
they're asking him to do what hedoes best, and he's doing that well.
I think that Sam Darnold is adecent enough quarterback to you know,
make those same throws and hand offto Chris McCaffrey as well as Rock Purty
does. I don't think they're goingto regress any because Darnold's in there,

(09:07):
I mean, fair enough. Iguess we'll see, but you know,
hopefully perty's fine. I want toforty nine ers to be totally healthy.
When they come to philadelpiayah, Idon't want any reason for no excuses.
I forty whiners coming into the bitchabout a loss. Oh. By the
way, I guess who's got twothumbs that got Cemac in the G League?
Yeah? Was that you? Wow, dude, I have first waiver

(09:30):
priority, so that's shoot. Youwere dude, you were almost out.
I was out, and somehow PrimetimeKirk Cousins drops thirty points and you got
thirteen out of the kicker too.I mean, yeah, I did.
Who saw that coming? Not notus, not prime Time in the water.
I had forty points going into Mondaynight and the next lowest scorer was

(09:52):
like sixty six. And by theway, they had Vikings as well,
and forty nine ers. Well theygot negative points on Elijah More so you
know he uh. But I'm justsaying I had Kirk Cousins and the kicker
for the Minnesota Vikings, and uh, I eked it out and finished next

(10:13):
to last, which gives me thenumber one waiver priority, which gives me
a man named Christian McCafferty. Yeah, there you go. I was so
hoping you were out. I was. I couldn't wait for the show and
now look out. Yeah, Idid that guy who came in last a
lot of good. Apparently, JalenHurts avoided the injury report. He has

(10:35):
that knee, but like he said, he's like, nobody wants to hear
about my knee. They just wantto hear about the next opponent. And
that's what we're gonna do. I'mparaphrasing, of course. Uh, let's
see what else we got here.Yeah, Saquon Barkley has an elbow isshu
it now. He missed practice today. Danny Jones was limited in practice today.
He's missed the last couple of gameswith that neck. That's a that's

(10:56):
a hell of a neck to beinjured too. By the way, there's
a there's there's some chatter. Theylook pretty good with Tyron. This is
the annual time of year that wetalk about Tyrod Taylor and how he deserves
to be a starting quarterback in theNFL. I just I just want to
point that out, dude. Wewere watching the game, right, we
were watching the red zone channel,but the game popped up periodically as it

(11:16):
does. Uh, and Tyron lookedpretty good too. He looks good.
He's a good quarterback. Yeah,I would say that the Giants have one
of the best backup quarterbacks in theleague. Totally agree. I would say
that he's probably better than Danny Dimesright now, not better than Danny Diames
last year. Agree with you?Yeah, well, no, I agree

(11:39):
with you. No quarterback is morepopular than the backup quarterback on your struggling
football team. I'm just saying,man, he looked pretty good so and
he has consistently throughout the years namedthe team. Well. I think he
had done pretty well with Sandya orthe San Diego Charges of Los Angeles,
except for the doctor stabbing him inthe lung. Yeah, he might have

(12:00):
had a pretty good season that yearanyway. DK Metcalf has a hip limited
in practice. Aaron Jones hamstring stillbothering him. He didn't practice today,
Sanders. That would be of theMiles variety. The shoulder that's kept him
out of a couple of games isapparently fine now. He practiced in full
today. Roshan Johnson is concussion.He's still in the protocol, but far

(12:22):
enough along that he practiced today ina limited fashion. Let's see. Kareem
Hunt has a thigh issue, notpracticing but expected to play. Jerome Ford
has that ankle. He's probably goingto be out. A couple of weeks
we talked about Deshaun Watson. Weactually didn't talk about him being out in
a way we kind of did notpracticing today, looks like PJ. Walker

(12:43):
is now on the active roster.I think if you're brought up to the
forty seven or the fifty three threeweeks in a row, they have to
sign you. So he's going tostart this week. And you know,
the funny thing is he's he's twoto zero in the league since he's been
playing, since he's been starting prettygood teams. Yeah, he beat the
Niners, right, well, theirfield goal kicker missed the kick at the

(13:09):
other game, but a good defensebeat the Niners. Fair well, Let's
put it this way. He wasunder the under center when the when the
win happened, so you know,uh, and you know the funny thing
is you give oh, well,you know, he looked pretty good.
You know, we'll be talking aboutthis game later, but he looked pretty
good. But then you you lookat the numbers. He sucked I guess

(13:33):
not great. But on the field, he made the throws when he had
to make him so against Frisco hehad one hundred and ninety two yards and
two picks, and against Indy hehad one hundred and seventy eight yards and
one pick. So like three pointseventy eight and five point four to two
points in fantasy. So not sexy, you know, but uh made the
throws when he had to make himjustin fields, and his thumb progressing pretty

(13:56):
well. Let's see Ryan Tannehill notpractice today. It looks like it's going
to be a mix of quarterbacks forTennessee. And like the man said,
if you have two quarterbacks, itmeans you don't have one, and I
think that everybody will agree that theydon't have one. Tank Dell's concussion is

(14:18):
he's full enough, far enough alongthat he was able to practice today.
Bobby Tree is not practicing today witha foot, and Josh Palmer no practice
today due to a knee. Ithink that's enough. We could talk about
injuries all day, fellas, Idon't want to. All right, So
your Thursday night game is the Bucksand the Bills. We talked about Baker

(14:41):
possibly being out, so any trustguys in Kyle Trask, I mean,
I'm excited to see it, butno, I'm going to watch what happens.
Yeah, well, I mean Bakeris you know, he doesn't do
great when you watch him play,but he's like quarterback nineteen fifteen point seven

(15:01):
points per game. You know,it's not great. Buffalo's second against fantasy
quarterbacks. So whether it's Baker orTrask, it's not going to be good
either way, probably not fair enough. So I mean, I guess you
play Evans right, he's top twentywide receiver. I have to for the

(15:22):
six games he's played. I mean, Godwin's got the issue, but you
know, twelve point five points pergames. The PPR gotta play, not
that if he's healthy. What doyou think of Rashad White? Rob,
I don't. I'm not sure i'dlike White if they're playing a high school
team and still, oh yeah,don't be wrong. The Buccaneers cannot run

(15:45):
the football. No, yeah,that's That's what I'm getting at. Is
that? So you don't you likehim? But the line is is the
problem? I like I like himin like a year or two, once
they've rebuilt the line, assuming theydo, assuming they do, and assuming
he's still there. Yeah, Ifeel that, So I guess it all
depends on, you know, howmuch you love these guys, depends on
whether it's Baker Mayfield. But eitherway, it's with Buffalo's defense is not

(16:10):
going to be great. So fromBuffalo side, of course you canna play
Josh Allen. Right, of courseyou're gonna play Steph on Diggs anybody else.
You love Henry if they trade forhim, well, yeah, you
know, it's easy to hate onJames Cook, but he's RB fourteen on

(16:30):
the season with twelve point eight pointsper game. Yeah, he's pretty consistent
at getting twelve points. Yeah,he's not going to get that much more
than that. I think he's prettysolid as a flex but yeah, I
mean, don't expect him to doone hundred and fifty yards and two touchdowns
because it's not gonna happen. No, it's going to be Josh Allen taking

(16:53):
those touchdowns, especially against the Bucksdefense, which is pretty good against the
run. Now, Robbie, Iknow you're looking for some sort of vindication
and you're gonna let you gloat here. I'm gonna let you finish. In
the last two weeks, Gabe Davishas a total of point seven Fantasy points.

(17:14):
Yeah, point two to one weekpoint five the next week, or
what I'm hearing is he's doing forfifteen this week. Very touchdown dependent.
The big games he has are thegames that he scores touched. And when
I say big, you know intothe teams the games that he has touchdown.
So if you can guarantee a touchdown, Gabe's Flexworthy's that's the whole thing

(17:37):
around. Having targets means you're gonnaget points. He's only getting targeted an
average of four times a game,So if he doesn't score a touchdown on
four of the however many plays theyrun on offense, he isn't not worth
anything. Well, it's because StephDiggs is always so damn open. What
are you supposed to do? Youknow, throw them the ball? Well,

(18:00):
yeah, that's what they do.And Gabe gets four targets a game
exactly like him. Well, anybodyelse you got to have here, Now
one of that ends, you maycatch your touchdown. But it seems like
Dalton Kincaid's slightly better than Dalson DawsonKnox. But I don't think either of
these guys or gotta have they don'treally use the tight ends like the Niners

(18:23):
or Hope Philly do yeah every nowand again. All right, So you
got the Houston Texans going to Carolinato play the windless Panthers. Houston's only
favorite by what's that? No?Do we all talk about the first game?
We've been doing this for eight weeksnow I forget every week. So
I'm this is why I'm asking youguys what you think about players, because

(18:45):
this is our game. I thoughtyou were just being plate for one Yeah,
I thought, no, screw youguys. Now I'm going to jump
into my game. You guys feelfree to interject. Enjoy your game.
Tell me about Houston. They're onlyfavorite by three points in this game and
Carolina is winless. I guess it'sthe being in Carolina in this of this.

(19:06):
Dude, I'm gonna give c.J. Stroud a thumbs up and
a start in Superflex League as yourquarterback. Two. He's quarterback eighteen on
the year, only has one pick. You know, the numbers aren't fantastic,
but you don't need him to befor a quarterback too, so thumbs
up for him. Of course,I'm gonna play Nico Collins seventeen points per
game in a PPR. Did havea couple of off weeks, but nothing

(19:30):
like playing the Panthers have a goodbounce back game. I'm willing to play
Dalton Schultz here as well. Hehas actually been more than just a guy
over the past couple weeks. Atsome point, I'm gonna want to love
to play Tank Dell. This ain'tthe week, though. I'm really going
to pass on both of the runningbacks as well. It seems like Devin
Singletary is winning the touch battle,but really, who cares because neither of

(19:52):
them are throwing up points with anykind of consistency or even sporadically. You're
not getting, you know, twentypoints to either of these guys, So
pass thanks anyway. From the Carolinaside, No thanks for Bryce Young,
don't really love Miles Sanders, can'treally recommend Chuba Hubbard. They're just not
putting up numbers. The only guyI'm going to play on this team and

(20:14):
be happy to do it is AdamFeeling. In four of this last five,
he's over double digit points per gamein a PPR, and I think
in a span there, I thinkhe was like the third highest Fantasy scorer
of all players. So yeah,I mean, Adam Thielen is really the
only Bryce spot on this Panthers team. Of course, no tight ends either,

(20:38):
speaker of no tight ends Rams Cowboys. Huh A bunch of loose ends
in this game. Is it timeto retire Matty Stafford? I feel like
it is from the Fantasy conversation.He has only finished top fifteen, Sorry,
it's top fourteen. He's finished fifteenthree times. Once this year.

(21:00):
I complained about Trevor Lawrence having zeroin one touchdowns. Matty Stafford has won
multiple touchdown game this year. Itwas against Philly, by the way.
Yeah, well, of course,of course it was everything else. He
had zero week one. Everyone elsehad had one touchdown. I am not
touching him. The running backs area little bit interesting. Hoyce Sorry,

(21:22):
Royce Freeman seems to be the quoteunquote feature back. But it did call
up Darryl Henderson and he got morework last week, two more carries and
scored the touchdown. He also caughta pass. If I had to pick
one, it would be Darryl Henderson. He is much more familiar with the
offense. I think he's frankly abetter running back. But you know,

(21:49):
I mean it's the Rams running back. Like you, what do you want
get twelve points in a standard leaguethirteen in a PPR last week. So
Cooper Cup and Pooka and Akou areother people you're playing on this team.
Of course, you're gonna play bothof them, even when he doesn't score
a touchdown. You know, ateight catches against Pittsburgh on twelve targets for

(22:10):
a book fifty four realty good.Cooper Cup obviously is all world. So
you're gonna play him. Even thoughhe only caught two passes last week.
It was on seven targets. He'llget back in there. Higbee's just a
guy. Probably wouldn't play him again. No tight ends to speak of.
From the Dallas side, Dak Prescottis very confusing from a fantasy perspective.

(22:33):
He has yet to crack three hundredyards. He has yet to uh.
He has won multiple touchdown game welltechnically two if you count there. He
ran one in last week. Sookay, last week was his best fantasy
performance. He had twenty four pointnine points. Pretty good, I would
say, but it does have theseoff weeks too. Man. You know,

(22:56):
Dak is the oldest, the longestten quarterback in the league. Is
he really he is? Yea goodfriend me. He's thirty years old.
I guess play him. I meanthe matchup actually isn't great against the Rams.
They're fairly good against fantasy quarterbacks,top half of the league, so
temper. But I think you gottastick with him for now. But and

(23:19):
this is not like cowboy hate andstuff like that. Last week he was
really good. Every week before that, you should not have started him.
So take that for what it is. Tony Poller has been super disappointing on
the season. He had the onetwo TV game Week one against the Giants,
has not scored since. It's amazingwhat you can do when you're the

(23:42):
change of pace back as opposed tothe full time starting back. Yeah,
just not getting it done if youneed. You know, in a PPR
he does score a fair amount ofpoints. You know, last week he
had seventeen. I'll allow that,but like the two weeks before that,
he was under ten. So it'sa little bit confusing. I think you

(24:03):
have to play CD. He againwill disappear. This very quarterback dependent,
but he catches most of the ballsthrown this way, so if they target
him like he might actually catch abunch of balls. And he was you
know, close to top ten lastweek, not last week, but the
week before they had bought. Lastweek he was eleventh, So not horrible

(24:23):
again, tight ends, No,thank you, Jake Fericks Ferguson, he
has one touchdown in the year.He's less than a guy. You know,
you do have a might kill buttondown there, rock Yeah, you
step on and kills under It's underneathyour foot. So yeah, wow,
didn't know that. So if youwant to sneeze again, you know,

(24:47):
sure. All right. So wegot Minnesota going up to Green Bay,
Minnesota, coming off of one ofthe probably the best wins they've had in
a couple of years now, knockingoff the Niners on Monday Night for the
the Vikings, I think you're gonnastart Kirk Cousins. Obviously you're going to
start TJ. Hockinson, and Ithink you can pretty much lock in Jordan

(25:07):
Addison at this point as an everyweek starter. Yeah, don't leave him
on your bench like Robbie did.Yeah, I lost the game by a
point and a half. I hadAddison on my bench, not happy about
it. And who'd you start inhis stead? Christian Kirk? I'd that
work out for you? I meanhe got twenty points, So I felt
good about it when the Jaguars gameis over, but not when the Monday

(25:29):
night game is over. Yeah.I think even when Jefferson's back, he's
going to be playable. He mightnot get thirty points every week, but
he's going to be good. Ithink you can probably roll with kJ Osborne
as a flex. He's not gettingtargeted as much as Hockinson or Addison,
but he's still getting enough that hecould end up having a game here or
there. The running back room hereis still changing. It looks like Cam

(25:52):
Akers is getting more and more ofthe work, but neither of the running
backs are really doing anything. Ithink Madison had thirty five yards and Akers
had thirty one yards. Nothing isreally happening. As a season progresses,
we might start to see one emerge, especially if there's an injury. But

(26:14):
for the moment, I think youprobably can just kind of leave him on
your bench. Not really very excitingthere for the Packers. The Packers haven't
played a good football game in likefour weeks. Early season, I really
liked all of them, and Iwas beating the drum for starting all of
the Packers every week. Now I'mnot so sure. I think Jordan Love

(26:38):
has shown the potential to be ahigh end QB two, potentially even a
QB one some weeks, but wehaven't seen it in forever, so I
kind of want to wait and see. Running back room here is very interesting
as well. Aaron Jones is gettingout carried by AJ Dillon, but he

(27:00):
he's still outscoring AJ Dillon, soand again, neither of them are really
performing. I think you're gonna startJones over Dylan if he's up, if
he's up, but even if heis up, if he's got that hamstring
injury that's hampering him and he's onlygonna get eight carries for twenty yards and

(27:21):
three catches, is it really worthsartened him. I'm not so sure.
I would maybe steer clear of theseguys this week. See how things work
out for the Packers. Let themget hot again, because I don't really
think they're gonna perform all that greaton the ground, especially with how powerful

(27:41):
the Vikings offense is gonna be gonnabe played from behind. I think receivers
on this team are really up anddown. Christian Watson, you know,
will have six seven targets, fivecatches, eighty yards and a touchdown one
week and then two targets one catchthe next week. And Dobbs is the

(28:02):
same way, just with more targets. So they should be good. Spotty
quarterback play leads to bad wide receivernow exactly. So again, we've seen
these guys do really well this season, but you know, so, what
have you done for me lately?Sort of situation? They haven't done anything,

(28:23):
So I'm starting them when when Ihave them in my leagues. I
have Dobbs and Watson in, butI'm not super happy about it. M
hm. So that's what I haveto say about that. Luke Musgraves is
okay. I think his value isbetter earlier in the season. With how

(28:47):
poorly the offense is playing, Ithink his value drops significantly, especially with
a couple other tight ends starting todo better. You can probably find a
better option somewhere else than Luke MusgraveSo the same he has traveled to Indianapolis.
They're actually favored in this game.Go figure. Actually they're not.

(29:07):
They're definitely they're actually getting a pointin a half. Who knows, Go
figure. So Derek Carr, theonly thing I can say for him is
if it's a super flex Maybe he'syour QB two, I hope not.
Honestly, dude, hasn't had anineteen point game so far. The best
he's down is like eighteen points something. He was supposed to be a savior
in New Orleans. He has notbecome that. One thing he has become,

(29:30):
though, is the dumpoff king.Thank you, I'm sure, thank
you, Derek from Alvin Kamara shareholders. Dude, he has two games of
the four he's been in with fourteentargets, and in those two games he
caught twenty five of them. Allright, Yeah, so Alvin Kamara is
a you know, three enthusiastic thumbsup for him. None of the other

(29:55):
running backs are worth the dam.You know. You go Michael Thomas,
you go, okay, well,got to touchdown last week. It was
his first one in seven games,and he you know, in a half
point PPR. He only has oneweek in double digits and it was last
week because he called it the touchdown. Other than that, he's not really
even been flexworthy. And you go, okay, well a lave a lave's

(30:17):
been okay. He's targeted like crazy, you know, ten targets two weeks
ago, fifteen against Jacksonville, andif he's pulled over by the cops going
double the speed limit, he'll dropthe I'm a football player with the Saints
card and unsuccessfully. By the way, do you see that video? It's
the video. Yeah. Yeah,So I don't know that he's going to

(30:37):
be kept from playing this week.But even if he's in, you know,
he's not getting the production you wouldthink somebody being targeted double digit,
you know, times per week.You know, five out of the seven
games he's played. Yeah, thebiggest gay day he's had is eleven point
two points. That was a Weekone against Tennessee. So that's what happens

(30:59):
when your quarterback throws the ball elevenfeet over your head. Yes of the
time, or to some other dudenamed Alvin. So, you know,
do you sit him? I don'tknow. It depends on how many wide
receivers you can play. If youcan play six wide receivers, maybe you
need to plug a guy like alobby in there. Same thing with Rashid
Shahed love that dude. He's gottwo good games Weeks one and Week six.
But yeah, just the rest ofthe game very touchdown dependent, not

(31:22):
targeted a lot. So I meanplay these guys at your own risk.
I can't recommend them, any ofthem, but there are situations where I
have to play Chris Olave, etcetera. Do as you have to.
We talked about Taysom Hill already.If you don't have a top twelve tight
end, then by all means throwTaysom Hill in there. He's not going

(31:44):
to get you but two or threepoints most of the time. But every
now only Gona can win you agame like he did for Lyle with an
eighteen pointer, you gotta have it. So from the indie side, Gardner
Minshew had I don't know, maybehis guest best game as a pro through
for a couple of tds, ranfor couple tds, still lost the ballgame.
He's going up against the Saints thisweek, who are number six against

(32:07):
fantasy quarterbacks, only allowing thirteen anda half points per game. I don't
think Minshew's a very hefty start thisweek, especially since there's no quarterbacks on
by. You shouldn't have to playGardner this week, even in a super
flex, and if you do,sorry about your luck. Last couple of
weeks. Last week, specifically,Taylor and Moss both had eighteen carries each.

(32:30):
With his eighteen carries, Taylor hadseventy two yards in a touchdown.
Was number four, number four runningback. I'm sorry New Orleans is fourth
against fantasy running backs. Confused aboutmy own notes there. Zach Moss with
his eighteen carries got fifty seven yards. No shock that Taylor is going to
take over that backfield as he should. And now Moss is dinged up,

(32:52):
So you're going to start. You'regoing to start somebody, maybe Taylor.
I mean, you know, youprobably drafted him and then hung onto him
for a month to be able toplay him. And here we are,
even though the matchup isn't great forhim, might find room for him somewhere.
Michael Pittman. Against Jacksonville, dudehad nine catches for a buck nine
and against Cleveland he had only twocatches but eighty three and a touchdown.

(33:15):
So he's getting the targets. Youknow, he's getting the yards. In
last couple of weeks, he's gottenthe fantasy points. So you know,
three weeks makes a trend. Ifyou want to wait, that's fine,
but I'd probably plug him into atleast to flex this week. I'd also
play Josh downs. He's averaging eightyone yards per game, including one game
well over one hundred in his lastthree, and it's a touchdown in each

(33:37):
of his last two. So Minshew'slooking for that dude downfield. So I
give him a go as well,and tight ends here. Just guys.
Indeed, speaking of just guys,the Patriots are taking on the Dolphins.
Dude, mac Jones best game ofthe year was Week one. Second best

(33:57):
game against Buffalo last week. Yeah, two seventy two touchdowns. Come on,
man, he finished number eight.You're not playing the shut up.
Come on, You're not gonna playmac Jones. You're not playing any of
these Patriots. Oh Remondre No.I mean maybe if you're desperate in a
flex he might get a touchdown.He scored two on the season. Yep.

(34:20):
Kendrick Bourne scored a touchdown last weekand in fact, the last two
weeks, he's been much better.If you're gonna pick a wide receiver,
it's him. Ironically, wouldn't playHenry either from the Miami side. Play
them all. Yeah, you're gonnaplay too obviously. Listen, you know

(34:42):
he had a down week. Thiswhole offense did stop. They're fine,
He's gonna be fine. Beat himup. Raheem Moster, definitely play.
He's been a monster. You know, a lot was made about Jeff Wilson
Junior coming back from injury and stuff. Salvin Ahmed actually got more touches.

(35:04):
Uh, and by more, Imean like two, both of them,
well touches. Yeah, Yeah,Jeff Wilson Junr. Had three, So
you play Mooster. Don't know aboutanybody else might want to play Tyreek Hill.
Maybe he's got an injury now,right, he actually practice, he's

(35:28):
got a hip. Yeah, butI mean I'm assuming he's playing Rabby.
Obviously. He hasn't missed the gamesince twenty twenty. Eagles talking about how
well they contained and he had whatten catches for eighty three in a touchdown,
eleven for eighty eight in a touchdown. Yeah, but I considered that
containment, by the way, Yeah, one hundred yards. I'm fine to
that. He's got one game wherehe didn't score a touchdown, one against

(35:49):
Buffalo. He is probably the mostdangerous player in the NFL right now.
Yeah, and has been for yearsand will be for more years. Yeah,
He's he's on a Hall of Fametrajectory. For sure. There's no
one like him in the league.It's kind of reminds me of like Colin
Johnson when he was here, andit's obviously different skill set, but he's

(36:12):
just he's phenomenal and uh, youknow, the game is different because of
him. His speed is just unparalleled. Anyway, I'm gonna play Wattle as
well, assuming he's fully healthy.I mean, you know, I know
he was banged up last week,but he caught six passes on six targets.

(36:34):
He does that week before, ninetargets, seven catches. He had
a touchdown in that one. Toogood to sit. So I would play
as many Dolphins as you can logically, so to of Raheem Hill and Wattle
are for sure. Now let's goto a game where I'm maybe not gonna
start anybody. That's the New JerseyBull Jets going to the Giant and you're

(37:00):
done technically, Yeah, yeah,pretty much. I'm starting the Jets defense.
Oh yeah, Jets defense. Ithink I picked them up in the
league because they might be top fivethis week. Yeah, they're probably gonna
be my highest score. Zach Wilsonis not worth starting. You're kidding me.
Talk to me about that for fiveminutes. Yeah, I'm not.

(37:22):
I think you could probably start BreeseHall and Garrett Wilson with a small degree
of confidence. I don't think they'regoing to be top ten this week,
but they'll probably be. All right. That's it for the Jets. That's
some hard hitting fantasy analysis right there. They'll probably thank you for that.

(37:45):
I'm I'm all a tingle. Yeah, I mean I expected the Commanders to
do a lot better against the Giantslast week, and they lost by a
touchdown. So maybe the Giants havea defense, maybe the Commanders just suck
or both, We're both, Idon't know. From the Giants, I

(38:06):
think you start Saquon. I thinkyou start Waller if he's healthy. If
you have to start Tyrod, youprobably can do that. That's it.
What about Danny Jones if he's up, definitely, don't play Daniel Jones if
he's up, Maybe Tyrod if he'sup, all right, Yeah, that's

(38:27):
it. Yeah, right, Soyou got the Jaguars going to Pittsburgh to
play the Stillers. Jaguar is favoredby two and a half in this one.
Trevor Lawrence, a quarterback eleven inthe last three games he's played,
averaging sixteen and a half points pergame. That's not a whole that's not
great. It tells you something aboutthe fantasy football quarterback play in the last

(38:47):
three weeks. It's sixteen point fivewill get your third play or get you
eleventh place. Yeah, so,I know you love Trevor Lawrence slile,
but QB eleven he's a starter,He's a talented individual. Just fantacy wise,
it's just not yeah, very good. Travis at ten, though,
is good. Over that same threeweek span, he's been RB two over

(39:10):
twenty three points per game in PPR. Yes, please, I'll play me
some Travis at ten. The widereceivers are kind of quirky because everybody was
like Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley,he's only averaging nine and a half points
in the last four games he's played. Pittsburgh is thirtieth against wide receivers,
So you kind of want to playboth of these guys. I guess Christian
Kirk averaging almost sixteen points a gamein PPR, he's really the guy to

(39:35):
play. He's the no brainer inthis scenario. Ridley, I guess,
if you need a guy to filla PPR a flex spot, he's got
to throw in there, perhaps becauseof this matchup, but Ridley's kind of
underperformed based on expectations coming in.Evan Ingram tight end nine eleven points per
game in PPR. Okay, Imean, you know, he has great

(39:58):
games, he has disappear games,but on average he's you know, slightly
better than just a guy, Soyeah, play him as well. From
the Pittsburgh side, Kenny Pickett hadhis second best fantasy football game of the
gear the year against the Rams.Two hundred and thirty yards on seventy completions,
no touchdowns, had to rush TDhe scored fifteen point two points.

(40:20):
That's the second best fantasy game ofthe year. I think you can probably
skip playing him just saying don't Iwant to love Nasee Harris. But he
also had his best game against theRams. He had his first touchdown of
the season. He ran for fiftythree yards and had twelve point eight points.
Eh, Jalen Warren maybe better inthe past game, so maybe in
PPR, but he's only eleven pointsa game in PPR. It's not great.

(40:45):
I mean, I guess it's marginallyflexworthy in a desperation situation, but
don't love it. I do lovewhat George Pickens is doing. However,
last three games he's wide receiver twelvewith almost sixteen points per Deontay Johnson back
for one game, six targets called, five of them for seventy nine yards.
We know that Johnson is a targetmonster, so you know those are

(41:08):
gonna increase those targets and the catchesand the production. So yes, I'm
playing Deontae Johnson as well. Jacksonvilletwenty second against fantasy football wide receivers,
so the matchup is even good.Everybody coming into uh from after the draft
coming into this season was like,man, Pittsburgh's gonna have two great tight
ends. Pat Feermuth is great.He's on ir Darnell Washington. Everyone's like

(41:30):
he's a great pass catching He's gonnayeah, he's got like two points a
game. So pass on the Pittsburghtight ends for the moment until Pat comes
back. For sure, Eagles playingCommanders talk about pass Jalen Hurts. You're
gonna play him obviously, but youknow, a lot of complaining about his

(41:52):
performance this year, but he hasonly one performance where he finished outside of
the top ten in fantasy quarterback.Yeah, I think on the ear he's
quarterback two. I mean he's he'sreally good, so definitely play him.
I would expect Swift to bounce backfully this week. I think they're going

(42:13):
to run the ball a lot more. He had a touchdown in the previous
meeting against these two, so he'sa definitely great RB two or a flex
Kenny game well, not so much. He's flashy, he's fun to watch,
but he's getting single digit touches.No, thank you. AJ Brown's
on a bit of a heater bit. Might want to play him slightly.

(42:35):
Yeah, i'd play DeVonta Smith aswell. When these two teams last met,
he had seven catches on nine targetsfor seventy eight. Hey, Low,
you're coming in a little light,dude. Could you pick it up
volume wise from your own I am, I am talking. I mean I
can bump my volume up a littlebit. Is that better? Yeah?
Well slightly. I think I slightlyadjusted it. Yeah. I bumped you

(42:58):
up on this end too, Butit's like you're barely registering on though.
Seriously, Yeah, is this happening? Now? Back out? Yeah,
you're good, So please continue withyour your analysis. Goddard, I think
is unsuitable at this point. Twoin the last three weeks he's been a
top five tight end. Definitely gethim going from the Washington side. It's

(43:19):
pretty confusing. Sam Howe can begreat. He was against Chicago and Atlanta.
He was okay against the Eagles infact, but unless you're desperate,
definitely don't play him. This mightbe a little bit of a different matchup
here. Brian Robinson is somebody thatI want to play. He's got four
touchdowns in the year, but againstthis Eagles defense, I don't know.

(43:42):
He did score in the first matchup, mm hmm. Kind of hard to
bypass that, But I mean,this team seems to be coming into their
own here. Which first matchup againstthe Eagles. Commanders haven't played the Eagles
yet. They they did. Theywent to overtime, did they really?
I don't know, not watching thatgame apparently interesting. Yeah, they went

(44:06):
to overtime. Eagles barely won.That's probably why you don't remember it.
You probably blocked it out. Yeah, yeah, maybe I had an edible
or something and I was Turry alsohad a pretty good game against the Eagles.
Ten targets, eight catches. Itwas his best fantasy performance of the
year, so hard to sit in. But again I needed you guys to
temper your expectations. This Eagles teamis a bit different than they were in

(44:30):
Week four. They seem to becoming in their own defensively, especially so
I would watch out gott to shine. A new addition too they do,
which I'm very excited about, wasthat the last thing I was his second
team, right, all right?Cool? Uh, Now we're going to
Tennessee. Atlanta's going to Tennessee.Arthur Smith returning to UH to the welcoming

(44:53):
arms of Mike Rabel. I don'tthink they're going to be very welcoming,
probably not. What else is notwelcoming is sports books after Bijon Robinson didn't
play last week because he had atummy ache or something, and no one
said anything, Oh tummy ache.Yeah, he quote unquote wasn't feeling well.

(45:16):
Yeah, and it wasn't reported,so no one was happy about that.
Uh So for the Falcons, doesn'tmurmurer. There was back to being
the guy we always thought he wasgoing to be mediocre. Uh didn't throw
a touchdown, had did have oneon the ground last week, But I

(45:37):
put up a performance that was slightlyworse than Baker Mayfield. If that tells
you anything, tells you everything.Yeah, so probably don't want to start
him. You're probably gonna play Beijeon. Fingers crossed that he actually participates.
You're probably also gonna start Drake Londonand Kyle Pitts. It confused me a

(46:00):
little bit about Beijeon. He wasout the whole game, came in for
one carry and then that was it. Yeah, so it saw somewhere there
like maybe he had a migraine andso he wasn't playing, and then he
felt better towards the end of thegame and they got him in there for
a little bit and I don't know. It was weird. So if he
plays, I mean, you're gonnayou're gonna start him. You hope he

(46:22):
plays. Same thing probably for DrakeLondon Kyle Pitts, you're probably gonna start
them. I just kind of haveto cross your fingers that it's one of
those games or desmt Red of throwsabout thirty five times. If it's not,
they're gonna get six points combined.That's probably the only people I'm playing

(46:43):
for the Falcons. John new Smithhas had games, but I'm hoping for
gole Pitt's sake, that that's notsustainable. Yeah, if Beijon does play,
Algier is not even really flexworthy.But you know, maybe he doesn't
play. I don't know. Forthe Titans, I think the only person

(47:05):
you can start is Dereck Henry.But the many question marks about the quarterback
room in this game. I amrunning very far away from any pass catcher
on this team. No trust inh Will Levice. No, No,
I mean I might next week,but I'll have to see it. I
mean, DeAndre Hopkins is really good, but he can be targeted fifteen times

(47:30):
if the ball never comes within tenfeet of him. Yeah, I'm going
to want to see it more thanone week. I'm going to want to
see three or four weeks. Yeah, So there's that. I mean,
it's also possible that Derek Henry getstraded before this game and he's not even
on the Titans. That would beCould you guys imagine him in Baltimore?

(47:54):
Oh okay, good lord, they'realready so good, dude, Like they're
there are some teams out there thatit literally scares me, Like if they
get him, I'd be terrified.And that is one of them. You
know who would be who would beequally terrified would be like the Bills and
the Chiefs. Bills, Chiefs Cowboyscould definitely use him now I'm talking about

(48:19):
it. They would be scared ifif the Ravens got Derrick Henry because the
Ravens are already imagine if the Billshad him, though, yeah, God,
well the Bills will run the ball, so I think they would.
I think, well, I'll tellyou what if if Derrick Henry is traded
this year, whether it's before thisweek or or next week, Taj Spears

(48:46):
is the guy to uh to lookafter if you really want to be sneaky
in your leagues. If he's sittingout there on the wire right now,
get him now, because as soonas Derrick Henry is traded, he's going
to be a hot commodity on thewaiver wire. So you know, maybe
work a trade if he's already onor something like that, because we've kind

(49:07):
of seen him flash early in theseason where he gets just as many carries
as Derrick Henry and he's not puttingup thirty points, but he's pretty efficient
running the ball and he's much moreimpactful out of the backfield as a pass
catcher than Derrick Henry is. Soif Henry's gone, the Titans are just
kind of playing for pride for therest of the year. He might be

(49:28):
a guy that ends up winning youa league because he ends up with twenty
points a game, just playing backyardfootball essentially, So something to keep in
mind for the future. So tosummarize, the Titans play Derrick Henry if
he's still a Titan. That's it. There you go Cleveland on the road
to Seattle playing against the twelves andthe elevens. Yeah, quarterback situation ain't

(49:53):
sexy. We talked about this.Deshaun Watson is out, PJ Walker starting.
Really, the only guy you reallyneed to worry about here is Kareem
Hunt. He's questionable with a thigh, but has had three touchdowns in his
last two games only Kareem Hunt esquealmost as if, I mean, you
know him as a starter and theprimary ball carrier kind of harkens us back.

(50:17):
Doesn't that a little better? Itamazes me that a guy could be
out of football surely be a runningback, and like you give him a
shot and he's like, oh,yeah, this is what I do.
Yeah I remember now, Like whywas that guy not on a team.
I don't know who knows. Maybehe's a really good he's better than he's
clearly better than, like, youknow, fifty of the running backs in

(50:43):
the NFL at least, I don'tknow. Maybe they still remember the video
of that kick. Maybe possible.So in his last two games, he's
only had seventy eight yards on theground, But dude's putting the ball in
the in the in the house.Plus, I mean really, his only
competition for Harry's and touches is PierreStrong. Now, Pierre was a waiver

(51:04):
wire darling this last week. ButI don't think it's gonna be a whole
lot. I think it's gonna beKareem left, Kareem right, Kareem up
the middle. So yeah, ifyou got him, good on you.
If you got Pierre, good luckto you. Amari Cooper's getting six to
eight targets per game. I'd loveto love him. He had a great
game against Tennessee twenty three points.That was week three. You know,

(51:25):
last week against Indy, caught twofor eleven yards. So you know,
it's up and its down. It'smostly down. So we can't really go
anywhere else with any of these guysexcept Kareem Hunt from Seattle. Gino Smith
not the guy he was last year. Unfortunately, he's quarterback twenty six in
the last three games at twelve pointsa game. Marginal flex quarterback if you

(51:49):
got to play him as a twoand a super flex, I guess.
Kenny Walker sure touchdown in four ofthe last five, double digit fantasy points
in five of the last six games. DK Metcalf was out last week with
ribs. I would play him ifhe's up. Consider Tyler Lockett. He
always gets targeted. Considered though,the Cleveland's number one against fantasy wide receivers,

(52:13):
so none of the situation is sexy, and the tight ends have basically
been useless all year. So it'sWalker and Metcalf and probably Locket. Cool.
I got Ravens Cardinals. This one'sreally eavy. Start the Birds that
are not Cardinals. Yeah, Lamaris an MVP candidate. At this point,

(52:43):
Detroit said, Hey, we're gonnamake him throw the ball. Ok,
yeah, it's fun. Yeah.He was like, all right,
so he had. He has hisbest fantasy performance against a very good Detroit
team. Baltimore is legit. Theyare They're a legit contender, I have
a running back. If they couldfigure that out, if they could make
a trade, I'm telling you rightnow, if I was them, I

(53:07):
would snag Derrick Henry. I'd belike, what do you want? So
here's something else that I saw.I saw this, I think on and
if on network last night, maybethat I mean, and you might you
might chuckle at this, But ZachMoss looked real good earlier in this year.
He's not going to be nearly asexpensive as Derrick Henry as now.
He's not Derrick Henry, but Ithink he's better than the guys they have.

(53:30):
So I mean you're saying Zach Mossis not Derrick Henry. I am
saying that. Wow. What Iam saying, I mean, don't give
up on the guy yet until afterthe trade deadline, because he is.
I mean, that's fair because histeams do wild stuff. And maybe the
Titans want way too much for Henry. Maybe his cap hit is way too
much. I don't know, uh, but I'm just saying, if I'm

(53:51):
the Baltimore Ravens, I would bevery very aggressive in trying to acquire Derrick
Henry. Maybe it's not possible,but if they got him. They terrify
me because they have everything else.They have the best defense in the NFL.
They do it's number one. Yeah, you look at who else could

(54:12):
who could really use the running back? The Rams could, but they're not
in any position to try to,you know, win the division or whatever.
They're gonna get Kyrien Williams back inthree weeks, right, So really
it's the Ravens well or or theBills. I think I think the Cowboys.
Uh maybe I don't think that JerryJones will do that because I think,

(54:34):
you know, he believes in TonyPollard and I was mistaken about Tony
Pollard. I love the guy,yeah, but he is not an every
down back. Well, Jerry Jonesin an interview said any trades that happened
with the Cowboys, other teams aregoing to have to initiate that trade.
They have to call you. Yeah, and he's just insane, so cool,
yep, that's why you don't acquirethose. He got a Marii Cooper

(54:58):
a couple of years ago before thetrade deadline, and that was a great
selection for that. I turned theseason around for them. Yeah, he
was awesome. So I don't knowwhy he's averse to this kind of thing.
But he's old school whatever. Oldpeople do weird stuff. I have
a grandfather who's eighty something. He'sweird like that too. Sorry, Cowboys

(55:19):
fans, it is what it is. The Cowboys are being run by Lyle's
grandfather basically, I mean kinda yeah, yeah, anyway, I mean since
he took over as GM, theyhave not won anything. And look at
somebody like Howie Roseman, right,who's in the same division, who is

(55:40):
constantly making deals doesn't always work out. Eagles lost last year, but they're
pretty good. Well, they lostlast year in the Super Bowl. I
mean, I know, and lookat look at all of the talent that
they that they have acquired. MichaelParsons alluded to this and his podcast.
I don't know if you guys sawthat. Yeah, he said the Eagles
are the best team in the league. There's no way. He said they're

(56:01):
special. They have this guy,this guy, this guy and everybody he
named other than like DeVonta Smith andJalen Hurts and stuff. We're acquired because
you have to do that. Anyway, I digress. If I'm the Ravens,
I go after Derrick Henry hardcore anywayyou're gonna play lamar, I think

(56:22):
you have to play the bus.He was RB two last week. So
yeah, so what happens when youcatch an eighty yard screen pass for a
touchdown? Yeah, well he didn'tscore on that eighty yard screen bass that
he did. No, he ranon it, he didn't score on it.
That's gotta hurt when you run eightyyards and don't get in. Yeah

(56:43):
he got chased down. Well,say Flowers is doing but you know he's
a flex at best. I loveRashad Bateman too, flex at best.
Listen. I had to start NelsonAguilar in the league last week. I

(57:05):
had to. Yeah, I hadno choice. You called one pass,
it was a twelve yard touchdown.I'll allow it. Yeah, I had
to. I had to start KendrickBourne last week and he called a touchdown
too. I was like, allright, all right, I'll take it.
I keep hearing that that Mark Andrewsis the best tight end in the
NFL and not Travis Kelsey, andyou know what that's wrong, But he's

(57:25):
real close. Well, plus Markdoesn't have a high profile girlfriend sitting with
his mom in the box, sohe does not You have to go check
the meme that I just posted inor uh our discord anyway from the Cardinal
side, and I'm done there youare. I love Josh Dopps, I

(57:46):
love his attitude is wag. He'snot a guy we're gonna play. De
Mercado has one touchdown in the year, Hollywood. I absolutely he's got three,
maybe in a flex, but thisis a real tough matchup. Not

(58:07):
gonna play Trade McBride or any ofthe tight ends. So I'm out.
Yeah. I had a thought whilewe were talking about running backs that the
Ravens could could acquire talking about trainingfor Derrick Henry. What do you think
the odds are that? And youalso mentioned Pollard, who is one of
the franchise tag running backs. Oneof the odds that Josh Jacobs or Sequon

(58:30):
are available with how poorly those twoteams are doing. Available. Yeah,
he signed in actual contracts maybe yeah, yeah, but I'm sure Josh Jacobs
would love to get out of it. Well that's what I'm thinking. Jacobs
signed one year deal. Dude.Can you mention DeVonta Adams on another team?
A lot of people talking about himtoo. Yeah. I still think

(58:55):
given the right opportunity, he wouldbe the best wide receiver in the NFL.
I agree, but he just ina really crappy situation and he's probably
stuck there. How bad does ithave to be for you to like in
the press, go, they're notusing me. This is ridiculous. They're

(59:16):
not throwing Remember Randy Moss, whoRandy Moss Hall of Famer Randy Moss.
He had a great career with Minnesotaand then he left for a little bit.
Where to go New England? Actually, first he went to Vegas,
but yeah, he went to theRaiders. The Raiders, he was terrible.

(59:37):
Then he went to New England andset a record which has yet to
be broken. Was it twenty three? Yeah? Yeah, So I'm just
saying the Raiders have a history ofnot utilizing Hall of Fame talent. I'm
just saying, so maybe DeVante Adamsto New England, mac Jones thrown in

(01:00:05):
the rock, but no, thatmight be worse. Actually here, but
here's the thing. Imagine, Okay, imagine, and this terrifies me as
well. Imagine if you went toKansas City. Oh good, good lord,
I mean, but that's what happenedwith Randy Moss, right, he
went to the best team in thea f C. Yeah, well,
the best team in AFC right nowis Kansas City. Imagine if they had

(01:00:28):
them, not the Adam and really, I mean aside from Travis Kelsey,
where she Rice is really their bestreceiver. I'm I don't have literally about
to talk about that right now.Sorry, Sorry, I didn't mean.
Hey, I brought the topic up. I'm sorry. We tend to talk
about football in the show. Yeah, apologies, and we digress into things
like that. So well, asyou were saying, for Kansas City,

(01:00:51):
they're playing the Broncos this week.For this game, like every time we
ever talk about the Chiefs, youplay the homes, you play Kelsey,
I think you played Pacheco, Butnow I think you can pretty confidently play
for she Rice. He said threestraight games of double digit fantasy production,
had his best game last week wherehe caught himself a touchdown. So they

(01:01:15):
have a pretty pretty smooth stretch ofgames the next three weeks in terms of
defense against fantasy receivers. So Ithink you roll with for she Rice.
I think he's he's got a flexfloor and potentially could creep up into wide
receiver two numbers. So I'm gonnainclude him on my Weekly Chief's Thumbs Up

(01:01:37):
list. Yeah, this is agreat way for Pacheco. The Broncos are
like thirty second against fantasy running backs. Yeah, unless you play for the
Packers, then you're gonna sud.Yeah. I think that number might be
skewed by what Miami did to them, but they're still yeah bad. Yeah.
I mean Brian Robinson had his bestgame against the Broncos. Let me

(01:02:04):
see who else they played, becauseis that the Sunday night game? I
think so, I think it's primetime. I think I have the Sunday
night game in Lyle has a Mondaynight game. I see. Yeah,
Brian Robinson had his best game ofhis career obviously a chain and most of

(01:02:24):
both had their best games Week fouragainst Chicago. Against Chicago, Little Herbert
had his best game. Breist Hallhad his best game, like career games
against the horrible. With that inmind, I'm not going to start any
Broncos. The last time the Chiefsplayed the Broncos two weeks ago, I
put a bet down that Russell Wilsonwould throw for two hundred passing yards.

(01:02:50):
Just two hundred yards. That's thelowest amount that those that FanDuel would allow
for a prop bet and he gotninety seven yards. Oh my, so,
and that that was what busted yourparlor. It busted the parlor.
Yeah, nice, it was.I thought it was easy money. Chiefs
win. Pacheco gets forty yards,Russ throws for two hundred for plus one

(01:03:10):
hundred. Yeah, it's free money. No, I won't be hurt again.
I'm sitting in the Broncos, everysingle one of them. That's why
they call it gambling rob Yeah.All right, So your Sunday night,
you got the Bengals going to SanFrancisco. San Francisco at this point's got
to be pretty pissed off when youfigure what the last two games have looked

(01:03:31):
like. And here comes Joey Burrow. Who you're gonna play? I mean,
I could tell you numbers, butyou know you're gonna play Burrow even
though this is not a great gamefor them matchup wise, it's not.
Okay, okay, whatever, whatis it? It's a afternoon game?
Yeah, how do you figure?I have one game left? I know?

(01:03:51):
All right? So uh okay,so yeah, I see all right,
So Joey Mixon ten points a gamein a peak, you're in his
last three Can you sit him though? I mean, I guess San Francisco
is not great against fantasy running backsare in the top half like twelve,
you know, so they can behad. We've seen it. We saw
what you know Cleveland and Minnesota runningbacks has done to them. I guess

(01:04:16):
you know. Joe Mixon temporary expectationswith him. I think he's at least
has at least as a flex floor. But in this game, it's it's
kind of crazy to figure he's goingto bust his last three week or average
of ten points. Jamar Chase,of course you're going to play going nowhere
near T Higgins. I'd love toplay him. He's a great receiver.

(01:04:38):
You got to play the numbers though, and the numbers are not good.
Actually, Tyler Boyd's numbers are slightlybetter, believe it or not, but
I'm not sure i'd play him either. So so really for me, it's
it's Burrow maybe mixing definitely Chase andI moved to Frisco. Party has a
concussion. If he plays, Iwould play him. If he doesn't,

(01:04:58):
And you have quarterback issues, especiallyQB two issues in a super flex,
I don't think Darnold's a bad oneweek Rental, I would give him a
nod at home against the Bengals.Of course you're gonna play McCaffrey. Deebo's
out with his shoulder. Brandon Ayukhas been a top twenty receiver over the
last three weeks at thirteen point twopoints a game in a PPR at least

(01:05:19):
a flex. Depending on who elseyou have on your team, you might
be your wide receiver too. Kittle. Of course you're gonna play He's up
and these down. But when theystart using that guy, depending on the
matchups, he could get well overone hundred and score a couple of touchdowns.
So if you're gonna play Taysom Hillbecause of the possibilities, quick Kittle

(01:05:40):
is a guy you're going to playfor the probabilities. Oh are you done?
Yeah? Tight end second team?Yeah? Yeah? So am I
I have Bears charters. No,I'm kidding. Tyson Badge is a quarterback
in the NFL. Dude, Igotta tell you. I gotta tell you,

(01:06:00):
Lyle. Yesterday, I heard oneof the worst things I've heard in
a long time. Goodness, Iwas, I was, I was flipping
through TikTok you know as you do. And I saw a guy playing guitar
and bass, singing secret beagent man, remember Secret agent Man, Secret Beigeing

(01:06:20):
Man. And he'd made up lyricsabout starting for the Chicago Bears, and
it was it was cool. Itwas not cool. It was not gonna
play him. The opposite. Uh, Doctor Foreman is compelling man. A
couple touchdowns last week, dude,eight nine yards. Guy finished in a

(01:06:42):
standard league RB one. Yeah,wow, RB one and a PPR.
Guess where you finished number one?RB one because he also caught three passes
for thirty one yards and another touchdown. Woot, that's try. Hey brouh,
it's hard to ignore that badger comingback in. They're gonna use this

(01:07:05):
guy again. He's a play againstthis charters defense. I'm all over him.
You mentioned Roshan earlier, maybe backthis week that might cut into Donta
Foreman's stuff. Hopefully not for Foremanowners. DJ Moore, you absolutely have
to play. He gets a lotof targets, catches a lot of passes.

(01:07:28):
It's not always gonna be a touchdown. You know, he had that
big stretch in the middle of theseason there where he caught five and three
games, But you just have toplay him. This team has zero weapons,
so you gotta play who's good.Guy's only five to eleven, plays
a lot taller, Yeah, hedoes out of Maryland. From the Chargers

(01:07:49):
side, gonna play Herbert, obviously, Gonna play Eckler obviously. Joshua Kelly
had a big game because he hada big run. That is, again,
you don't have bye weeks this week, so but it's compelling because Chicago's
like not good against the rum solike if he cracked. He only had

(01:08:13):
seven carries, right, but hehad a forty nine hour touchdown. Yeah,
Chicago twenty seventh against fantasy running backs. Right, well, dude,
that made him RB twelve and standardleague's RB sixteen in PPR leagues, I
mean for a flex, I'll allowit. Kim Ellen, you're gonna play
obviously, and Jerreal Everett has touchdownstwo weeks in a row. Hard to

(01:08:36):
ignore from a tight end. He'sfinished top ten two weeks in a row.
Again, not great, but youneed a tight end. You can
be yours. I have a secretpageent Man stuck in my head right now.
Secret Beage Mann. Well, I'mgonna try to forget that. Yeah,

(01:09:00):
Monday night game, those Las VegasRaiders. We were just talking about
going to the Motor City to playthe freshly spanked Lions, and that was
a spanking. Oh it was anabsolute throttling so woodshed ass whipmen exactly from

(01:09:20):
these Raiders. No idea who thequarterback is going to be. Jamie didn't
play last week. Even if Jimmiedoes play, Eh, you know,
he's Jimmy. Yeah, you knowif you if your other quarterbacks are injured
and there's no Bie weeks. Butif they're injured and you gotta play somebody,
I guess you can play Jamie.But he's gonna get you fifteen points

(01:09:45):
at most. Maybe. I thinkjust on receptions alone, you can still
comfortably start Devanta Adams and Jacoby Myersa lot of a lot of games this
year. Myers has been outscoring DevantaAdams because he isn't getting double covered.
So I definitely like that. JoshJacobs probably is is playable. Depending on

(01:10:08):
who the quarterback is, he mightsee a couple more checkdowns than the normal
Lol. Yeah, Josh Jacobs,the number one fantasy running back last year,
probably playable. Probably, I meanprobably how far their Raiders have fallen.
Yeah, I mean that's what andbasically all they did was swap qbs.

(01:10:29):
Yeah, that's what Josh McDaniels doesto a guy. Yeah, that's
pretty much. And the only peopleI'm starting on on on on the Raiders
there Hunter Renfiell apparently on the tradeblock by the way. Yeah, yeah,
he's been on the trade block.For the Lions. I think if
they're wearing a uniform, you shouldstart them. Yeah. If Montgomery plays,

(01:10:53):
start him. If Gibbs plays,even if Montgomery's also playing, I
think you start him in a flexAmen ra obviously you're playing Josh Reynolds.
I think he's very playable. Jameisand Williams. I think hasn't gotten fully
up to speed, but there's potentialfor him to catch a deep touchdown.
Sam Laporta my guy. Obviously you'regoing to start him. Golf has has

(01:11:17):
been doing great other than that oneweek this past week. So anybody you
can play on the Lions, Ithink you got to do it. I
think then them be them gameses.Before we hop into questions, we only
have one. I think I wantto ask you guys, on a scale
of one to ten, the thetemperature of the seat for these NFL coaches.

(01:11:41):
Ron Rivera Washington commanders skill of oneto ten, he's like a six.
Yeah. I think he kind ofknew. Honestly, I think he
expects to be fired this offseason.I think it was I think it was
too too deep into the offseason.I think it's a little more than six.
New ownership, Yeah, but Imean, you know, they got

(01:12:02):
howl. They don't have like akiller lineup they're in. They're in a
division with the Cowboys and the Eagles. You know, what are you gonna
do start fresh with a new coach. Maybe, I don't know. Six
maybe a little old, but Idon't think it's more than seven. Matt
Eberfluss Chicago Bears eleven. Yeah,this goes they're they're they're better than their

(01:12:26):
record. Yeah. Yeah. Imean the only thing that's going for them
is, I I mentioned this lastweek, I think is they have Carolina's
pick. Yeah, they have thenumber one overall pick right now. Yeah,
so they have Carolina and Chicago's firstround pick, so they're gonna be
two top six picks. You candraft a quarterback, I mean, if
you're gonna move away from fields,right or you can trade that for a

(01:12:50):
bunch of capital and still get likea top offensive lineman, top defensive lineman.
Whatever. Yeah, I think theiroffense has improved the past couple of
weeks enough that I think his seatis cooling down a little bit. I
mean, the first four weeks itwas just bad on both sides of the
ball. They at least now havesome production on offense, and I think

(01:13:14):
that makes it a little better forhim. The team still isn't good,
but I mean if they go fromthe worst team in the league to the
second the worst team, you know, the eighth worst team in the league,
I think that's enough improvement that hegets another year. Yeah, maybe,
depending on how they finished. Youknow, if they I don't even

(01:13:36):
know who they play a Week eightteam, but you know, if they
like the the Lions last year,they didn't make the playoffs, but they
beat the Packers in the Week eighteenand that was, you know, a
monumental thing for the Lions. TheBears can do something similar. I think
the guy gets another year if youwin a couple games at the endaka two
momentum. So Todd Bowles Tampa BayBucks. I think he's okay. I

(01:13:58):
think it's six or a seven too. It's warming up. But again,
the division is weak. They don'thave the best talent there, particularly at
the quarterback position. Yeah, theycould win the division though, so they
could. I don't know. ManAtlanta, Atlanta, Like they're not good,
but they keep winning. So it'slike, what, right, Frank

(01:14:24):
Wright, Carolina Panthers, you getfired today? Yeah, he's probably gone.
Josh McDaniel. The reason I broughtthis list up was Josh McDaniel's Las
Vegas Raiders. He's he should begone. He's a thirty five. Yeah,
he's he's. This team is muchmore talented than their record. Speaking

(01:14:45):
of which, how about Brandon StaleyChargers. It would not surprise me if
he's gone before the season is done, but they'll probably finish out the year
and then fire him. I'm sure. I'm surprised you survived last year.
To be honest, with the onlyteam on the list that going into the
season, I would have thought thisis probably a playoff team. Sure,

(01:15:10):
And now I look at them andI'm like, wow, well they made
the playoffs last year. You gotto figure they're going to progress, but
they didn't. No, they havetheir quarterback for sure. Herbert's good.
He's really good. They have areally good running back, they have a
really good wide receiver. They hadtwo you know, injuries happened, but

(01:15:30):
you know, so they have someoffense. Their defense is horrible and it's
been horror for like five years.Yeah. Yeah, yeah. It seems
like the Chargers, no matter wherethey play, well, especially now and
when they're playing in LA, everygame is an away game because the other
team just their fans travel in andblow it up. So I mean that

(01:15:54):
happens at some NFL stadium. Yeah. Have you seen the stat about the
Chargers offense versus the defense? SinceJustin Herbert became a quarterback. Since Justin
Herbert has been the starting quarterback forthe Chargers, no offense has scored more
points than the Chargers, and duringthe same period of time, no defense

(01:16:15):
has given up more points than theChargers. Well there's your answer right there.
Yeah, that is that is beautifulanalytics right there. I know what
the problem is, Go address it. Hey, I don't think the seke
could get any hotter. What's what'sfunny is that I feel like they do
address it. If you remember beforelast season, they brought in J.

(01:16:35):
C. Jackson, who is supposedto be great. He didn't do anything.
They brought in Khalil Mack, whoI mean had six sacks earlier this
in one game earlier this season.But like I feel like you don't really
hear that much about it. Doesn'treally have that much impact on that.
Are you talking about it? Youhave to be well coached, man,

(01:16:59):
clearly. I mean, you know, listen, in the NFL, everybody's
good. So if you come upwith a scheme any given Sunday, right,
you can beat the next team.And we see it every week.
The Chargers just can't do that.And and this is gone. This is
an organizational issue. It's gone backfor years like this. Yeah. I

(01:17:23):
mean when when LT was there,well Danian Thomason, they were real good,
but they weren't good enough to getpast any like the first round of
the playoffs. They just weren't,you know, and they should have been.
Yeah. So the defensive coordinator forthe Chargers is Derek Ansley or Ainsley.

(01:17:48):
He was promoted from the defensive backscoach position that he that he held
for a couple of years going intothis year. I'm not gonna blame him,
like right away, because again,like to Robbie's point, they've been
bad for a long time. Yeah, it's time to do that kind of
stuff. But they need a cultureshift there. When you look at the

(01:18:11):
good teams in the NFL, looklook at Kansas City, man, it
doesn't matter who's on that team,doesn't matter. They're good because they have
they're really well coached, and theyexpect to win, right they when they
don't really, excuse me, havea good wide receiver. They traded for
me Cole Hardman, for God's sake, that's how bad the receiving corps is.

(01:18:34):
And he got right in. Hecalled a pass I think. But
they're still winning games. It doesn'tmatter. Listen. And again when you
have I mean it's a little bitunfair when you have fifteen back there.
Yeah, you know he's he justdoesn't Again, he expects to win the
football game. And you need tofind that confidence. And it doesn't have

(01:18:59):
to come from a great player.I've seen Ryan Fitzpatrick do that right.
He was a good quarterback, butnever a great quarterback. But I've seen
him do it right. So that'sall coaching, it's all confidence, it's
all you know, uh, culture, right, We have a winning culture

(01:19:23):
here. We don't mess around.We go to work, we watch film,
all that stuff. And now RyanFitzpatrick is in the commercial doing the
finger guns with the love him.I love him, I absolutely love the
dude. Uh. And he actuallygave an interview here recently about Tom Brady
and why he doesn't he doesn't likeTom Brady at all. It's flaw.

(01:19:45):
You gotta watch it. It's reallyawesome. He's like, yeah, Brady
never, he would never come outto the field and you know, shake
your hand and be like, hey, you know, stay stay healthy,
you know, have a good season, blah blah blah like everybody else does.
Right, He's like, yeah,I don't. Yeah, He's like,
I don't like that guy. Andscrew that guy. I mean,
dude, Ryan Fitzpatrick saying to thegoat, like, yeah, I don't

(01:20:09):
like him. Well, you knowwhat's he gonna do to Ryan Fitzpatrick.
I mean, you know nothing.He's got the beard in the in the
chest air bro. He's got thechest beard and the and the the shades
and the Deshaun Jackson zip up blackjackets. We're digressing hard, all right.
So we have one question in discordI actually have a question too for

(01:20:29):
me. Okay, did I wantto ask you as once the Discord question
is complete? The answer is DevantaParker. The answer is always DeVante Parker,
So go aheadh are you going toread that one or yeah? Random
munch says Fellows half peeper. Wouldyou put Garrett Wilson, d Hopp or
Hollywood Brown in as the third wR? I have ag Brown and Jamar

(01:20:50):
Chases number one and number two.That's pretty good. I think it's Garrett
Wilson. I think it was.It's Garrett Wilson too, Yeah, it
is. Yeah. I think yoursecond question is going to be all about
the Jets as well. Also defensewise, when you start Dallas to the
Jets, listen, it's compelling tostart Dallas. They've scored a lot of
points on defense this year. Butthe Jets against the Giants just makes me

(01:21:14):
lick my lips. Yeah, especiallyif Danny Jones comes back. You can't
not play the Jets defense against again, play the Jets, but again,
Dallas has been one of the highestscoring defenses this year, so I don't
want to discount that just for thematchup. Yeah, but I would play
that. I would roll the diceon the Jets for me personally, He

(01:21:35):
says, thanks, and have yourselvesa day. Have a day, sir,
all right, Rob, let's hearyour question. All right? So
yeah, this is this is forone of my leagues. This is a
question I've been asking myself pretty muchevery week, and I've been wrong just
about every week. I'm gonna giveyou three, sorry, four receivers.
You're gonna tell me which one Isit Keenan Allen against the Bears, Adam

(01:21:59):
Feelen against the Texans, Terry McLaurinagainst Philadelphia, or Jordan Addison against Green
Bay. Cool. Yeah, mclathat's what I'm thinking. It's gonna have
to happen. But McLaurin does wellagainst the Eagles, he had Yeah,

(01:22:21):
but uh, given those four options, he's the guy's Yeah, it's a
different Eagles defense. They're running onall cylinders now. They just shut down
to it and yeah and they gotTyreek Hill a little bit and they got
buyered. Now, so you know, well, is he gonna Do you

(01:22:42):
think he's gonna play a full slate? Yes? Absolutely, you think so.
I mean so, I listened tothe Bustle with the Boys podcast,
which is a Titans Bass podcast becauseboth the guys are on the Titans when
they started it, so we heara lot about the Titans from the podcast.
And apparently Kevin Byrd is like oneof the smartest football players in the
league, so I have no doubtthat he can step right into the system

(01:23:08):
and get it immediately. All right, So which is great for us?
Oh yeah, that I know indeed. And that's it. Boys. I
love you, I mean it.Robby likes you as a friend. Kevin
hates you. I do not hateyou. I've never hated You've hated me,

(01:23:33):
You've hated on me. I've dislikedyour behavior. I've always loved you.
Robbie. All right, we'll beback for week nine. I can't
believe seasons half way over happens everyyear. Hated. Oh I do hate
that, so I guess I havehated damn it. All right, we'll
be back next week. Enjoy yourweek. Hate football, people say,
