0:00Fantasy.

0:01>> You're in the 0610.

0:04Focus.

0:06Fantasy.

0:09Fantasy. Focus.

0:15You offered me Bryce Young and my Kai

0:18Lemon for Jamar Chase with a note that

0:21says, "This helps you more than it helps

0:24me."

0:26You trying to deceive me?

0:29>> No. No, I'm not trying to deceive you.

0:32Why would I try and deceive you?

0:34I'm engaging with you as a human being.

0:38Why would I deceive you?

0:41There's no

0:44there's no reason for that.

0:47Okay.

0:49All right.

0:52All right. Good chat.

1:01You're being real right now.

1:04>> I'm always being real, Michael.

1:32What's up friends? Welcome into Fantasy

1:34Focus Football alongside Field Jates and

1:36Mike Clay. I

1:37>> watch that movie.

1:38>> That sounds like you know what? If you

1:39just watched our cold open, Mike and I

1:41had so much fun doing that. I want to

1:42give Mike so many props. He wrote that

1:44entire thing. Obviously, it's a it's a

1:45big Yeah.

1:47>> But he wrote the entire thing was like,

1:48"Daniel, I got a great idea. Let's do

1:50this." It came out fantastic, man. Bravo

1:52to you. like you crushed it. Thank you

1:53for that.

1:53>> Presley, you're you're acting. You're

1:55going to win the Emmy. We know that.

1:56>> Dave shot it and was awesome.

1:58>> Edit it. Yeah. Awesome. So, I'm just the

2:00idea man. But, uh,

2:01>> it was a ton of fun.

2:02>> That was fun. We're going to we're going

2:03to try and do more of those. But, uh,

2:04>> do you guys remember when Payton Manning

2:06hosted SNL for the first time? And

2:08people are like, did this guy really

2:10need to waste 18 years of his life

2:12playing football when he could have been

2:13acting the entire time?

2:14>> Commercials, too. Sometimes he does

2:15subtle things. I'm like, he's so good at

2:16that.

2:17>> I say that because I'm wondering whether

2:18you guys maybe are wasting your time

2:20doing fantasy.

2:21>> No, you're right. I'll write this guy.

2:22>> That was your right. That was your role

2:24right there.

2:24>> No, you pan right down. That was so

2:26good. That is true. If I do anything, I

2:28I would do that.

2:29>> If tomorrow this becomes the Field Yates

2:30Fantasy Focus Variety Hour because you

2:32guys are like recruited by some

2:34gigantic, you know, film director. I be

2:37surprised.

2:37>> The theme there was like a trade

2:39obviously and there's a little Easter

2:40egg in there. I don't know how many

2:41people caught this, but it says the

2:43movie releases 122. That's your trade

2:45deadline in ESPN Fantasy League. So

2:48>> nice. Well done. Yeah, that's going to

2:49be like the most most watched movie SL

2:51documentary.

2:52>> The first of first of many Only Dance

2:54productions. I'm sure we're going to

2:55have even some more coming out, guys. We

2:57got more. But let's dive into

2:59>> Yeah, we have uh 57 minutes left and

3:01we're just going to talk ball now.

3:03>> A lot to get to.

3:04>> Lot of football here in week three.

3:06We're going to do the Monday Night

3:06Football preview. Dive into our week

3:08three recap field. We're going to start

3:09with you Chargers and Bills.

3:11>> Yeah. For the first time all season,

3:12Josh Allen wasn't the best player on

3:14your fantasy roster. 17.46 fantasy

3:16points. Not the most interesting thing

3:18for the Bills for me. There were two

3:20things. First of all, Dalton Concincaid

3:21finally comes back down to earth. He

3:23played 54% of the snaps. He had played

3:2672% in the first two weeks. Now, he got

3:28banged up at one point did Daltton

3:30Concincaid. I don't think it's anything

3:32serious or of note, but he saw just

3:34three targets. So, all the optimism we

3:36saw in the first two weeks kind of came

3:38back down to earth for Concaid. This

3:40just in. He plays tight end. There

3:41aren't a bunch of options. My confidence

3:44definitely reduced a little bit compared

3:45to the first two weeks, but not enough

3:47that I don't think that Doulson Concade

3:48is a viable starter going forward.

3:50>> Yeah, just keep in mind DJ Moore led a

3:52team with 22 routes run conc 26 pass

3:55attempts. So still very involved when

3:56they're throwing the ball. That's huge.

3:57>> And DJ Moore had 17 of Josh Allen's 26

4:01targets yesterday. I thought the most

4:02interesting thing from this game though

4:04was that James for the Bills.

4:06>> What did you just say?

4:07>> You said 17 of his 26 target.

4:09>> Still a big number though.

4:10>> How I got the 17. I'm glad that Mike and

4:12I both like we

4:13>> I thought he heard it too. That's why I

4:14looked at you.

4:14>> You know what it is? I'm still I'm still

4:16hung up from that that great

4:17documentary.

4:18>> That's why I appreciate it, Phil.

4:19>> Uh 10 of his 26 targets did DJ Moore. He

4:22has been really steady through the first

4:23three weeks and obviously played through

4:24an injury. He had that week two injury,

4:26but week one and week three he was

4:27really steady is DJ Moore. Um James Cook

4:30ends up with 19.4 fantasy points, 154

4:33rushing yards. He's now third pending

4:35Monday Night Football in the NFL in

4:37rushing yards. Are you frustrated

4:39though?

4:39>> No, I'm not frustrated. But I would just

4:41say that one thing that was fed to us

4:42this season, this preseason, that

4:44definitely hasn't come to light is that

4:45James Cook is not a factor in the past.

4:46>> Not buying that. Not at all. Yeah. Tai

4:48Johnson came back four targets in this

4:50one. He's not and he's been out the

4:52first two weeks soon and it still didn't

4:53really affect Cook very much. It did a

4:54little bit, but not much. Yeah, that's a

4:56that's a

4:57>> I don't want to say a problem because

4:58you know he's going to produce on the

4:59ground so he'll be okay, but his ceiling

5:01is a little bit limited compared to

5:02those other guys.

5:03>> He is a little bit more. He's he's like

5:04Dererick Henry. He's just not the

5:06stature of Derrick Henry, but the elite

5:07rushing opportunities are there for

5:09James Cook. four catches through three

5:10games for James Cook. Uh we can be brief

5:12on the Chargers because honestly I don't

5:14want to talk about them anymore. Uh

5:16Justin Herbert under 13 fantasy points.

5:18They play Seattle next week. Um of the

5:20Chargers right now,

5:22>> how many of these players deserve

5:25without question to be in your lineup

5:27every single week?

5:28>> I mean, I'm I'm still gonna go with Lad

5:30Mc u I almost said McDon.

5:32>> I can't even say it's bad. It is bad

5:34McDonkey right now. He still went four

5:36for 66 in this one, so I'm gonna stick

5:38with him. And I think Omar and Hampton

5:40although same thing with James Cook. I

5:41mean he's in he's almost at zero in the

5:43passing game this year. It's a big

5:45problem.

5:45>> It is a bigger problem. He only ran six

5:47routes. Keaton Mitchell had the

5:48touchdown yesterday. So he has 13.7

5:50points.

5:51>> Mitchell's linear. So his receiving

5:53line, what was his receiving line?

5:54>> Three catches for three catches for

5:56negative five yards. It's very Mai

5:57Lemon.

5:58>> Three catches negative five yards and a

5:59touchdown.

5:59>> But the touchdown was impressive. Had to

6:01get around. He showed his speed. Yeah.

6:03Oh, that like the little bunts from the

6:05quarterbacks where Justin Herbert does

6:07get his only touchdown of the day there.

6:09Um, how about this?

6:10>> Aronda Gatston felt like he was in a

6:12really good spot, right? There were no

6:14healthy tight ends basically for the

6:15Chargers.

6:16>> 26 routes. He missed much.

6:17>> 26 routes. Um, he had uh Yeah, he had

6:19zero points.

6:20>> Oh, okay. Zero.

6:21>> He did, if you're looking for some

6:22optimism, have a drop on one of his

6:24three targets. He almost had like three

6:26fantasy points. Uh we we really and I

6:29mean really need tight end options to

6:31emerge on the waiverwire because it's so

6:33thin as it is. Uh the answer for Ronda

6:36Gadson in the first opportunity to be

6:38the guy is no. No, no. So I don't I

6:41don't know, man. Like you can I think

6:43you're right. I think Omarian Hampton's

6:44going to be inside our top 25 for next

6:47week amongst running backs even in a bad

6:49matchup against the Seahawks. Um three

6:52weeks is not enough to define a season,

6:53but it's getting dangerously close for

6:55the Chargers here. And the how's the

6:57schedule the next two months terrible

6:59about that. Yeah. The Seahawks next

7:01week. The hardest schedule.

7:02>> It's over. It's out on Justin Herbert. I

7:04want to apologize to America. Awful.

7:06Terrible. I can't believe I thought this

7:08guy would be as good as he potentially

7:10could be. I don't understand what on

7:12earth is happening. I'm so frustrated

7:14that I am relegated to just folding

7:16papers in my hands because it's the only

7:18way to contain my frustration.

7:19Otherwise, guys, Mike McDaniel, what on

7:21earth has this guy done to supercharge

7:22the offense? I miss Greg Roman. I I

7:25swear I do. They were better. Yeah, the

7:27Chargers as as a team were certainly

7:29better.

7:29>> They were better. And like, by the way,

7:32>> the freaking kicker isn't even good

7:33anymore. Cameron Dicker, who not only

7:36did he kick a ton of field goals, but

7:37never misses a 45 yard yesterday. He

7:41missed a 58 yard last week. I'll give

7:43that a pass.

7:44>> But the freaking kicker isn't even good.

7:46I have a friend in a league who it's

7:48it's a league of my wife and I, we

7:49there's 12 of us. It's six couples. And

7:51one of the people in the league thinks

7:52it's funny that his name is Cameron

7:53Dicker the kicker, right? So she

7:55prioritizes drafting him every year.

7:56It's very whatever. It's her thing. I

7:58had to break the news story yesterday

7:59that I was like, I'm sorry, but your

8:00kicker now sucks. Like I'm sorry.

8:03>> Does she know that legally his name

8:05isn't Cameron Dicker the kicker though?

8:06>> We told her it's Cameron Dicker the

8:08kicker. Got it. That's what it is. But

8:09whatever. It's it's

8:10>> honestly. So we're gonna like Omarian

8:13Hampton has gone from being a potential

8:15high low-end RB1, high-end RB2 to a

8:17low-end RB2, maybe a flex option.

8:19>> Yeah. Vlad Makoni is probably more of a

8:21high-end flex than a wide receiver too

8:23at this point or maybe even a you know

8:25just a regular flex. Maybe not even a

8:26high-end flex and then we're out on

8:28Justin Herbert not starting this week.

8:29>> Yeah.

8:30>> Yeah. We'll uh we'll see what the

8:31rankings look like on Wednesday. But for

8:33now it's not great, guys.

8:34>> It's bad. It is so bad.

8:36>> Yeah. Let's talk about just Lions next

8:37one up, my friends. Lions try to give

8:39this one away. I'll tell you what, Jir

8:41Gibbs is so good at football. If you use

8:43the 1.01 pick on him, he continues to do

8:46the thing. 20 carries, 99 yards, two

8:49touchdowns, plus eight targets in the

8:51passing game, seven catches for 65

8:53yards, and another touchdown, my

8:55friends. Unbelievable

8:58>> what this guy has been able to do. And

9:00honestly, he kind of took the the sizzle

9:02away from everybody because in this one,

9:04it really was just him. Yeah,

9:05>> it was just Jir Gibbs. Jared Goff had

9:0819.3 fantasy points. Like, great for him

9:10as like a fill-in quarterback

9:11>> doing what he did. But Aman Rah does

9:13>> got lucky with the touchdown. Being able

9:15to get 11.9 points, that's a

9:17disappointing number for Aman Raw St.

9:19Brown. But also,

9:20>> if your floor of a disappointing game is

9:2211.9 fantasy points, that means you're

9:24doing pretty well.

9:24>> That is basically his floor. So,

9:26>> he has five touchdowns in three games.

9:28He's second in the league in targets.

9:29Second in the amongst wide receivers in

9:31fantasy points.

9:32>> Sam Laaporta only four targets in this

9:34one. A little bit of a disappointment.

9:35And J Mo back-to-back games with only

9:37four targets as well.

9:39>> We're going to do a segment hopefully at

9:40some point this week. It's a fish or cut

9:42bait segment and it's basically going to

9:43be players that came into this season as

9:46likely lineup options. Maybe not locks,

9:48but lineup options. And we're going to

9:50decide whether after three bad weeks

9:51there is any room for optimism. Jameson

9:54Williams featured in one of them that

9:56discussion.

9:57>> He's a huge point per target kind of

9:58guy. He can take any like that's the

10:00thing with him, right? He'll do it, you

10:01know, quickly.

10:02>> Boom bust, but it's been bus so far.

10:04Correct. We got to figure this.

10:05>> So, I'm not really sure he's the flex

10:06option that we thought he was. Uh Lions

10:08get the Panthers brought us in week four

10:10>> for the Jets.

10:12>> Bree Hall got banged up in this one

10:14unfortunately groin injury. Bummed about

10:16that. Didn't look good. Second week in a

10:18row. This is sort of the Bruce Hall

10:19story though, right? Where he was very

10:21inefficient with his carries. 13 for 32,

10:242.5 yards per carry, three catches for

10:2623 yards unfortunately left in the

10:28fourth. This became a game in which the

10:29Jets just had to throw a bunch. And it

10:31looked like Gino Smith became the

10:33serviceable old man that Mike thought he

10:35was going to be. He crushed it.

10:36>> Son of a biscuit. you.

10:37>> Yeah, I think what I saw from Gino Smith

10:39is that what you if you need something

10:40from him later on this season as a

10:42by-week fillin.

10:44>> Okay, finish thoughts.

10:45>> He's a potential by-week fillin based on

10:47the matchup that you potentially have

10:48when you see that it's a nice matchup.

10:50You love that. Garrett Wilson 10 for 107

10:52and a touchdown on 13 targets. Field

10:54still isn't in on Gino Smith.

10:56>> I my bigger takeaway is that Bryce Young

10:59is going to be ranked extremely high in

11:00my quarterback rankings in week four.

11:02>> I'm sorry. Your lines are just

11:05>> atrocious defensively. can't stop

11:06anybody. They came into this game

11:08allowing the most fantasy points to

11:10opposing quarterbacks and tight ends,

11:12second most to wide receivers.

11:14>> Those might somehow get worse this week.

11:15>> They allowed

11:16>> 23 fantasy points to Tyler Shuck, 40

11:19fantasy points to Josh Allen, and now 26

11:21fantasy points to Gino Smith.

11:23>> And keep in mind that Gino, as you know,

11:25very popular in DFS yesterday. I think

11:27you even talked about him as a sleeper

11:29to be a streaming option last week. So

11:31again, back to Earth next week for Gino.

11:34like this is something the Lions

11:36>> because of the matchup. Yeah.

11:37>> They play uh the Bears next week which

11:39>> Bears which well match up you know but

11:42he's a to your point maybe a streamer

11:44occasionally where they

11:45>> in a nice matchup. That's all I want.

11:48That's is probably as far as

11:49>> correct and also with no AD Mitchell no

11:51Mason Taylor. Kenyan Sadi looked

11:52unbelievable. At least someone that you

11:54need to keep an eye on. I'm going to be

11:55adding him. Yeah. In waiverss. He will

11:57be a popular waiver target here with the

11:59talent that he has now.

12:00>> As will Brilan Allen by the way as as

12:02you mentioned before.

12:02>> Correct. With Bruce Hall. We'll see what

12:03happens.

12:04>> All like there is a pretty clear next

12:05man up for the Jets in the back field.

12:07It's Railen Allen. So, we'll see if we

12:09get any updates on Bree Hall today from

12:11Aaron Glenn, but either way, Brillin

12:13Allen's going to be added a lot this

12:14>> Yeah, Isaiah Davis had no touches prior

12:17in the game. So, he touches before or

12:19after this injury, which was late. Uh,

12:21yeah, Hall could miss time. Garrett

12:22Wilson left the game, but it seems like

12:24he cleared concussion protocol if I

12:25understand correctly. So, should be good

12:27for next week. He had his breakout game.

12:29We got what we wanted here. 13 targets,

12:3110 c 10 10 catches, 107 yards, and a

12:34touchdown of his own. So, it was good to

12:35see him be featured. Uh, obviously good

12:38matchup here for him, but um, all

12:40systems go for Wilson.

12:41>> Yeah, I think the question on the Jets,

12:43what we saw yesterday, all the positive

12:44stuff, is just how much of that was

12:46about the Jets and making real strides

12:48offensively versus how much of that was

12:50the Jets facing what is I I feel like

12:53the worst fantasy defense in the NFL,

12:55maybe the best fantasy defense. I will

12:56say it's a little bit of both in the

12:58sense that the Jets are not the Jets of

12:59last year or pri or maybe the last 30

13:01years. I don't know. Like they're

13:03better, but they're not an elite an

13:05elite offense by any means. They're not

13:06going to put numbers up like this. A

13:08little bit of both.

13:08>> That's why I'm not reading into it too

13:10much to say the Jets are all of a sudden

13:11this thing. But when you get a nice

13:12matchup like they had this week, it

13:14showed that they have the talent to be

13:15able to take advantage of that. So

13:16that's the part that I was I guess

13:18pleased by from a Jets perspective.

13:19>> Forecast. Bryce Young big time DFS play

13:22this upcoming week. Sunday Night

13:23Football in Carolina. That's right.

13:25Carolina versus Detroit. Thank you, Jir

13:28G. I just want to say thank you. We're

13:29living up 101.

13:32>> Bengals and Steelers field.

13:33>> That'll be me. Yes, the Bengals uh they

13:35fall short. The Steelers put up 30 and

13:36they win. What a weird game this was,

13:38right? The Steelers had there was a uh

13:40there some critical errors by the

13:42Bengals yesterday. They both had a

13:44personal foul on a punt, which

13:47>> I have a theory. This is very quick.

13:49>> I don't understand why teams rush the

13:50punter aggressively at all in the NFL.

13:52How many block punts we see a year?

13:54>> So worth it. Unless you're in

13:54desperation mode in the fourth quarter

13:56or something,

13:57>> you must have it. Otherwise, hold up and

13:58try to get a good return. The Bengals

14:00also muffed a punt. It doesn't matter

14:01for our purposes. What does matter is

14:03that they put up 27 points and it was a

14:05good day for three out of the four guys

14:07that matter in this Cincinnati offense,

14:09right? Joe Burrow, first quarterback to

14:11solve the Steelers in two games this

14:12season. Nearly 23 fantasy points for

14:14him. Uh Jamar Chase, nine for 98 and a

14:18touchdown. Ho hom for Jamar Chase.

14:20Back-to-back games with a touchdown. He

14:21had two in week two. He's awesome. Not

14:24much more to say there. Thigans does

14:26what he does every once in a while.

14:27>> Touchdown as well. Six for 90 and a

14:29touchdown there. Disappointing game for

14:31Chase Brown. Just 8.9 fantasy points.

14:34Mostly because he had only two catches

14:36for eight yards. I don't feel like I

14:38feel no differently about the Bengals

14:40out of this game as it did coming into

14:42this game. It's those four guys. You're

14:43probably starting each and every one of

14:45them. Miki might be the king of odd

14:48weeks. Week one, he was great. Week two,

14:50he had zero. Week three, 12.7 fantasy

14:53points. He also hit the grrey yesterday,

14:55but I am not starting. Mic too. Way too

14:58boom. Maybe the most boom bus player in

14:59in the game. I mean, yes, he's up there.

15:01>> I think there's a couple of teams that

15:02are like the Bengals that you mentioned

15:04today where it's like they are who we

15:05thought they were. We'll probably say

15:07that a couple times with the way that

15:08they looked.

15:08>> I love these wow stick tweets. Bengals

15:10losing. It was my fault cuz I went to a

15:12wedding.

15:13>> Oh man. Um yeah, the only thing I'd say

15:16on Chase Brown is uh definitely

15:17underwhelming so far, but he did that

15:19last year,

15:19>> the first like six weeks of the season,

15:21but his usage is still there. Not not

15:23worried about that one. Agreed.

15:24>> Um on the Steelers side, so D gets hurt

15:27uh or excuse me, inactive game, excuse

15:29me, inactive for this game. Remember, he

15:30got banged up last week. They have a

15:32short week to the Steelers, so that

15:33could be a multi-week thing. And it was

15:34a Jaylen Warren show. And did it ever

15:36pay off? Jaylen Warren played 78% of the

15:39snaps.

15:40>> He had four targets. Turn that into

15:41three catches for 49 yards. He had 17

15:44rushes for 127 yards. There also was a

15:47massive Jaylen Warren run. Called back

15:50because of a penalty. This day could

15:52have been even bigger. But this guy's

15:55just a really darn solid football

15:57player. It's just that Mike has

15:58highlighted how unfantasy friendly the

16:01Steelers are, or excuse me, Mike

16:04McCarthy's offenses are two running

16:06backs. And if Rico Dattle is back in the

16:09next couple weeks, this trends really

16:11close to a dead zone. Only thing that

16:12I'll say to speak out of both sides of

16:14my mouth,

16:15>> there's a long list of running back dead

16:17zones right now.

16:18>> More so than I am comfortable with.

16:19>> We're gonna get to another one that's

16:20developing here soon. Or it already was

16:22one. Now it's even more so one, but

16:24we'll get to that in a little bit.

16:25>> Um, for the Steelers pass catchers,

16:26yeah, DK Mechaf finally finds the end

16:28zone. Three for 31 and a touchdown.

16:30>> Got bailed out. DJ Turner shadowed him.

16:32>> Yeah, there's not a Steelers pass

16:35catcher that you want to be starting

16:36right now.

16:36>> No way.

16:36>> Not right now.

16:37>> Aaron Rogers did sort of turn back the

16:38clocks. They did look legitimately

16:40really good in the first half of this

16:42game,

16:43>> but we talk about fantasy football,

16:44right? Like the goal is to not like who

16:46cares about finishing third versus sixth

16:48versus 12th, right? You want to win,

16:50right?

16:50>> And the Steelers, as far as priority

16:53players are concerned, are not going to

16:56be starters amongst any of those pass

16:57catchers. The only guy in the Steelers

16:59offense that is startable for a league

17:01that you want to a a lineup that is

17:03actually optimized is a running back

17:05when the other one is hurt. Otherwise,

17:07Steelers are basically a stay away from

17:09me.

17:09>> Yeah,

17:10>> this is good.

17:11>> This is one of those situations where

17:12you know that Aaron Rogers, like he's

17:14going to have a glimpse of old Aaron

17:15Rodgers at some point this season. This

17:17was one of those games where he looked

17:18like vintage Aaron Rogers, but he's

17:20probably going to go back to the guy

17:21that we saw. I don't love the target

17:23share when you look at it. Jaylen Warren

17:24had four targets. Roman Wilson had six.

17:26DK Mechaf had five. Darnell Washington

17:28had four. Pat Fri had four. Michael

17:30Bitman had five. Like it it is he has

17:32just given it to a little bit of

17:33everybody. Yeah. And our guy that we

17:35were out on DK Metaf, Mike and I, coming

17:37into this season, we thought because of

17:39the short area, the the area yards as

17:41Field likes to talk about was gonna be

17:42the Michael Pitman show. Has not been

17:44that so far too. I mean, he was in

17:48practice all last week, so you would

17:49have thought he would have got rolling

17:50here, but maybe it's just not there yet.

17:52Roman Wilson had the hot start, caught

17:53the long touchdown, and then kind of

17:55>> disappeared shoulder.

17:56>> Yeah. So, but after I make him my Raheem

17:58Sanders pick, he scores a touchdown.

18:00>> Of course. Dang it. Of course, that

18:01happens. Oh, by the way, I mentioned the

18:03Jets. I said, "Hey, there are two other

18:05options that I want if my Raheem Sanders

18:07doesn't hit." One of them, Jeremy

18:08Rucker, tight end for the Jets. I should

18:10have taken him five for 39 in the

18:13touchdown.

18:14>> I took AJ Dylan instead. I should have

18:15taken Jeremy. Dang it.

18:17>> We'll talk about that in a bit. He

18:17barely played.

18:18>> I know. All right. Anyways, Chiefs

18:20Dolphins friends. Who wants to talk

18:22about the Chiefs and Dolphins?

18:23>> That would be me. Uh, big story here is

18:26something that happened early on in this

18:27game. Sadly, it hurt me. It avoided our

18:29board bet. Daniel

18:32out with an injury. It's knee related

18:34and it does not sound good according to

18:36the head coach. We're going to be

18:37looking at Olly Gordon on waiverss. Keep

18:39in mind that Jaylen Wright was inactive

18:42for this game. I would expect him to be

18:44pretty involved as well. We don't know

18:46exactly who the number two is going to

18:47be, but Olly Gordon didn't really steal

18:49the job by any means in this one. 17 for

18:5141 and a touchdown. Three catches on

18:53three targets for 14 yards. He'll be the

18:56priority for me just because he's the

18:57healthy one right now. Um, but also I'm

18:59not sure we're going out of our way to

19:00invest heavily in this Dolphins

19:02backfield. Um, what's unfortunate is

19:05Devon Chan came out strong, had a couple

19:07good plays. They finished that drive

19:08with a touchdown by Ollie Gordon. And

19:10you think what could have been for Han

19:11in this one, but obviously uh probably a

19:14long-term injury, could be season

19:15ending, but we don't know that for sure.

19:16>> I just want to like a little bit of

19:18grace to live in the moment because this

19:19isn't about the Devon Han injury. But as

19:22a fantasy manager, when you've had a

19:23disappointing player for the first two

19:25weeks of the season and then they

19:26unfortunately leave the game because

19:28they get hurt

19:29>> and then on that same drive, the

19:31position that he plays scores a

19:33touchdown. It hurts extra hard. Like

19:35it's just so frustrating. I don't know

19:38what you do about it, but I just if you

19:39if you were in that situation, please

19:41know that the rest of us were too.

19:43>> Yeah, I was uh very downtrodd

19:47it was such a nice run. Like man, this

19:49guy is so skilled. like he is one of the

19:51best players in the league. So,

19:52>> super disappointing. Obviously, we'll

19:54update you on that later this week.

19:56We're going to monitor Chris Bell as

19:58well. Uh, no Caleb Douglas in this one.

19:59He goes four for 67 on seven touchdowns.

20:01It's an end to bench guy for now. We're

20:02not starting him. Watch him. What did I

20:05say?

20:05>> Touchdowns. That would be a lot.

20:06>> That would be good. You should probably

20:09mixing up your numbers today. 17 Seven

20:11Seven T. Yeah, it's been uh it's been

20:13busy since yesterday.

20:14>> Seven targets, four catches, 67 yards.

20:16>> Chris Bell, draft pick.

20:18>> Uh, third round out of Louisville. What

20:19can you tell us about Chris Bell?

20:20>> Uh, he looks like AJ Brown in terms of

20:23stature. He tore his ACL in November. He

20:25tore his ACL one day after I put out a

20:28mock draft in which I had him going in

20:30the first round.

20:30>> Was that just popular? Were you on

20:33>> I would say I was like, you know, pretty

20:34much in line with where a lot of other

20:35people in the industry were.

20:36>> So, talent day later that he tears his

20:39ACL and ESPN kindly allowed me to they

20:42were like, let's just not have a guy who

20:43tore his ACL. It was he was it was pick

20:4632. Okay. So, it's an easy swap to make.

20:48Okay. Um he did have one explosive catch

20:51yesterday. So I would say that Miami is

20:53full of a lot of guys that are

20:54intriguing for Dynasty, but going

20:56forward assuming Devon Achan is out. 10

20:58team leagues. I don't think anybody

21:00cracks a lineup next.

21:01>> No, not right now. But Bell has the raw

21:03talent and the increasing role that

21:05maybe he's certainly worth a bench spot,

21:06I would say, but I won't go further in

21:08that. Uh Malik Willis efficiency has

21:10been great, but 210 passing yards. If we

21:12can keep getting him to 200, maybe

21:14somebody develops in that passing game,

21:15but nothing at the moment. Uh the other

21:18side kind of hoham for the Chiefs

21:19offense uh in the back field. Ken Walker

21:22the third just does it again. Guys 18

21:24for 70 and a touchdown and then two

21:26targets catches another touchdown as

21:28well. The guy is just a machine so far.

21:31Uh certainly a week toe top five maybe

21:33top three fantasy running back. So let's

21:35just keep that rolling. Uh nothing

21:36really to say about Mahomes and Kelsey.

21:38Kelsey finds the end zone again. Mahomes

21:40throws two touchdowns. They are what we

21:41thought they were going into the week.

21:43Mid-range to good uh starters at their

21:46island positions. I think the biggest

21:47note for me from this one was finally,

21:49finally, finally. Even in a low volume

21:51passing game, they featured Rasheed

21:53Rice. It seems like he's back. Ran 18

21:55routes, guys. He had nine targets,

21:57caught seven for 88 yards. That's good

21:59to see. I feel like he missed all that

22:01time and they've ramped him up the first

22:02few weeks of the season. I moved I moved

22:04him up in my rankings for next week.

22:06Bumped the target share back up where we

22:08think it should be. Not an average of

22:09where it's been. Uh that's a really good

22:11sign. I think at the worst he's a

22:12mid-range wide receiver, too, but

22:13trending up. to extrapolate that point

22:15to boost further optimism into it.

22:17Yesterday, Rashi Rice had four catches

22:19on balls thrown under five yards down

22:22the field. That was his bread and

22:23butter, right? Was basically an

22:24extension of the running game. Weeks one

22:26and two, he had two catches there.

22:28>> The Chiefs also had a play from the two

22:30yard line where Rashi Rice, it either

22:33got whistled right as the ball was

22:34snapped or it was whistled, you know,

22:37like it was either a delay of game or a

22:38timeout. But you saw what the Chiefs

22:40were about to do and they were about to

22:41do the push pass to Rashi Rice. Mhm.

22:43>> So, a day that was solid, 7 for 88,

22:46could have easily been 8 for 90 with a

22:48touchdown as well. And we might be

22:50saying to ourselves like, "Wow, is Rashi

22:52Rice back to being a top 15 wide

22:53receiver?" Not I'm not totally certain

22:55that's where he's going yet, but I'm

22:57with Mike. That was very encouraging to

22:58see.

22:59>> Also, this is the other side of the coin

23:01of you have to play everybody against

23:02Miami. Sometimes game script might go

23:04against some of the players you have.

23:06Kind of happened with Patrick Mahomes

23:08scored. I mean, it wasn't a bad game,

23:09but only scored 15.9 fantasy points cuz

23:12just didn't work out for him this week.

23:13>> The battle of the three and 0 teams next

23:14week, by the way, versus Raiders.

23:17>> I'm excited that the NFL is more fun

23:19when the Raiders are good. So, I'm

23:20excited for this one.

23:21>> They're like legitimately good.

23:22>> Yeah. And what's interesting is

23:24>> first overall pick in the draft. Hasn't

23:26even played it down yet. So,

23:27>> and he shouldn't for a while. That's

23:30fantastic.

23:30>> I have the way the projections are, I

23:31have every week already projected. So, I

23:33just have to keep bumping Mendoza's

23:35first start down the road. It's deeper

23:36and deeper. Is it, you know, until they

23:39if they fall to like four and eight,

23:40then it's a, you know, it's going to be

23:42a while, but that, you know, they're

23:43three and0 right now. What can you say?

23:45>> All right, let's do it.

23:45>> Let's talk about the next Sorry, the

23:47Texans and Colts is the next game here.

23:49AFC South, the Texans for the second

23:51straight year are now 0 and3 to start

23:54the season.

23:55>> This game wasn't fun.

23:56>> It wasn't. And until Nico Collins

23:58returns,

24:00>> I don't want to play.

24:01>> Are we sure you want to play a Tex? I I

24:02know that I keep saying that guys, but

24:04that I think is one of the early themes

24:06of fantasy football this year is that

24:08we've got like eight teams or 10 teams,

24:10Daniel, where nobody feels like the kind

24:13of guy you really want to be playing. I

24:14saw you raising your hand.

24:15>> Yes. I because I think that we're three

24:17weeks into it now going into week four.

24:19And after that first week at David

24:20Montgomery, I was, "Hey man, running

24:22back position is a position that you

24:23want to have a little bit of extra depth

24:24at." I'm not sure I would have moved on

24:26from him. After the first three weeks, I

24:27think you guys were absolutely right. He

24:29was a great sell high candidate for you

24:31in week one. Still, that running back

24:33position is tough. You're always looking

24:34for guys that are going to get volume,

24:35but him and Woody Marks both touch the

24:37ball and this offense looks so

24:39uninspiring that it doesn't feel like

24:41David Montgomery is the RB2 we were

24:43hoping he was going to be if you did

24:44keep him.

24:45>> He did have a two to one edge in rushes

24:47and he had a two to one edge, literally

24:49two to one in targets to Woody Marks.

24:51What did you have for snap percentage

24:52for Woody Marks? My number feels

24:54>> uh Woody Marks, let's see, I don't have

24:56it early.

24:56>> Monty was at 58.8. 65 for Montgomery.

25:00Oh. Oh, total snaps 33 to 18 edge to

25:02Montgomery. So, he did uh take an edge

25:04there, which is funny because, you know,

25:06we were getting criticized for saying he

25:07was a sell high after week one. You

25:09could almost argue he's a buy low now

25:11just two weeks later. So, the pendulum

25:13has gone the complete other direction.

25:14>> I don't want to play anyone from the

25:15Texans, though. If Nico Nico, they just

25:18don't look

25:18>> Yeah, Monty will still kind of be in

25:20that territory. They play the Cowboys,

25:21the battle of Texas next week. two teams

25:23combined for one win, but Monty kind of

25:26the only guy until Nico is back that

25:27we'll really be discussing. Daltton came

25:29back. Oh, go ahead.

25:30>> Oh, sorry.

25:31>> I was just gonna say

25:32>> looks good for next week. You said

25:33>> it looks it looks promising for next

25:34week for Nico. So, but we'll monitor

25:36that throughout the week.

25:37>> Um, by the way, if you guys ever hear

25:38any of us disagree with things like

25:40snaps or routes or targets on Monday

25:43morning show, we're all pulling from

25:46like there are a few different well-

25:47reggarded services that might be off a

25:49little bit. On top of that, some of

25:51these things are like updated throughout

25:52the day on Monday, like snap percentage

25:54especially. It's hard to track 11

25:56players in live time and data input,

25:59right?

25:59>> You'll have like nextg tracking and then

26:01they get cleaned up on Monday. So, but

26:02they're always going to be close. It's

26:03just uh you know,

26:04>> that's why I asked Mike what his snap

26:06percentage was on Woody Marsh because

26:07mine did not look good. Uh for the

26:09Colts, a dud for Jonathan Taylor. He's

26:11good for a couple of those each year

26:12because he's not a gigantic factor in

26:14the passing game. Just two catches for

26:16four yards. But if I told you 26 touches

26:19for 20, actually 25, but 26

26:22opportunities for Jonathan Taylor,

26:23you're signing up for that site. Yes.

26:25Unseen. Tyler Warren was a bright spot

26:27yesterday. He had 10 targets of Daniel

26:30Jones,

26:31>> 36 attempts, and he averaged again under

26:35six yards a catch. So the big plays are

26:37not there for Tyler Warren. But that

26:39volume is hard to argue with. And the

26:40clock was turned back once again. Old

26:43friend Keenan Allen. He's going to have

26:45a few of these games this year, right?

26:46three. Here's one of them.

26:47>> Y um Daniel Jones, I was thinking about

26:50this. He had 7.9 fantasy points. I I'm

26:52sorry to say this line again, but like

26:54wide receivers for the Colts. Josh DS is

26:56the closest to start a bowl for me. He

26:58had 11 of Jones 36uh targets, but I

27:02don't think there's anybody that is a

27:03lineup lock right now about the amongst

27:04the wide receivers. I wanted to mention

27:06Daniel Jones here for a minute though

27:08because he came into this year and there

27:09were some people that were asking like,

27:11"Hey, he was so good last year." Like,

27:12can Daniel Jones be one of those guys

27:15that no one talks about at quarterback

27:17all preseason? You look up after six

27:19games and he's quarterback 11 and

27:21rediscover some of the magic from last

27:23year.

27:23>> What got him to QB7 last year though,

27:25Field?

27:25>> Wait, it was his rushing upside. It

27:26>> was his rushing upside.

27:27>> How about this Daniel Jones yesterday,

27:29three rushes for five yards. I believe

27:31he had a fumble or two as well

27:33yesterday.

27:34>> Uh I I'm not sure, but the only thing

27:36I'll say is he wasn't he didn't run as

27:38much as we thought last year. In the

27:39past, rushing has been used, but the

27:41thing was the Colts, when he was

27:42healthy, were averaging like three and a

27:44half touchdowns per game, which was not

27:45something that they were going to

27:46sustain year-over-year,

27:48>> but that was a reason to say, okay, in a

27:5012 team league, maybe one of my last

27:51picks, take a shot just in case they

27:53come out. And you know what, honestly,

27:54last week, week two, where they put up

27:5530 points in that game. I mean,

27:57>> uh, so I I understand taking like he's

28:01basically free in draft, so I get that,

28:03but obviously has it has not come to

28:05fruition. He either needs to start

28:06running more or they need to start

28:08scoring at the rate they did last year.

28:09It's got to be one or the other and

28:11that's asking a lot.

28:12>> Well, uh, keep in mind they do play next

28:13weekend abroad international game. I

28:15think it's London. Uh, they play the

28:17Commanders next weekend. So, if ever

28:19there was a time for Daniel Jones to get

28:21on track, next week would be it.

28:23>> But for now, the Colts are a Jonathan

28:25Taylor and a Tyler Warren team. Man, I

28:28feel like we are just totally

28:29eliminating guys from team leagues. But

28:31it has been an inospicious start for

28:33many more players than we expected.

28:35>> Little bit of an inospicious start for

28:37the Washington Commanders. Did Marcus

28:39Mariota get a dub in this one, guys?

28:42>> He did. That was uh one of the shockers.

28:44Seahawks coming AC all the way across

28:46the country. And a little bit of a trap

28:48game here, I guess, cuz Mariota steps in

28:49and gets the job done. They went 33

28:52>> 31. This was a fun game to keep an eye

28:54on. Mariota, we talked about him last

28:56week that this is going to be a

28:57streaming option. He adds a lot with his

28:58legs. He threw at least one passing

29:00touchdown in every game last year,

29:01averaged over 200 passing yards. This

29:03one a little short of 200 yards because

29:04he didn't have to throw it a lot. They

29:05were ahead throughout most of this one,

29:06but still tossed three touchdowns, only

29:0811 rushing yards. Again, when games are

29:10more competitive, he'll have a higher

29:12number in that department. So, we'll

29:13keep an eye on him as a streamer. Uh the

29:16best news though, got the ball to Terry

29:19McLaren.

29:20>> How great was McLaren yesterday.

29:21>> He was outstanding. He started slow

29:23again and I was getting nervous like

29:24here we go again, but nope. nine

29:25targets, six catches, 77 yards, and a

29:28touchdown. He's going up. Stefan Diggs,

29:30his playing time's gone up as Digs, but

29:32uh the production kind of came back to

29:34earth. Remember the two touchdown game

29:35last week, just four for 33 in this one,

29:38but we know this is Terry's offense and

29:40he showed that yesterday.

29:42>> Um I that's

29:44>> the only thing I want to say on the on

29:45the commanders is that it I actually

29:47felt like early in the game Jakori

29:49Kroski Meritt was running well. Yeah.

29:51And then at the end of the game, you're

29:52like, "Wow, 5.3 fantasy points."

29:54>> Yeah, no doubt. Uh he is handling a big

29:56bulk of the carries here, but again

29:57under two yards per carry and a

29:59non-factor in the passing game. He is a

30:013% target share exactly in all three

30:03games this season. And guess what guys,

30:05>> might be about to get worse because

30:07added to the 53man roster is our old

30:09friend Austin Eckler. That's right.

30:11>> Back with the commander. So remember he

30:12played a pretty sizable role years ago

30:14and then last year the first week and a

30:16half before he got injured. Um he won't

30:18have a huge role as a rusher. I would

30:20imagine I'm going to guess about 20% of

30:22the carries, but he'll have a role in

30:24the passing game. We know that's where

30:25he really excels. So, if this was

30:27already a dead zone, we were already not

30:29touching these guys. JCM, I was going to

30:30say before this news was arguably

30:32droppable. I know you're getting the

30:33carries, but if he's a zero in the

30:35passing game in this offense, it's like

30:37so hard to start him, but now with

30:39Eckler there, it's even more

30:40problematic. Going to take a quick pause

30:41here with some breaking news from Adam

30:43Shesterfield. Yeah, Devon Aan has

30:45suffered a torn ACL, which

30:48>> seemed like we were trending that way

30:49based off of the tone from Jeff Hafley

30:51last night. More to come on Ali Gordon

30:53and Jaylen Wright on tomorrow's waiver

30:55show. There was a point yesterday during

30:57the game

30:58>> where the Dolphins were without any

31:00healthy running backs on the on the

31:01field. Yeah,

31:02>> they were they were like they were it

31:03was a brief point Ali Gordon got back

31:05in, but they are thin at running back

31:07beyond Devon A Chant. Wow,

31:09>> that stinks. I was hoping he would

31:10>> Darqu Hunter will be next man up as

31:12well. Yeah, I actually like loved him as

31:14a prospect. I thought he would

31:15eventually beat Blake Corm out in LA,

31:16but that did not come to a fruition, but

31:18we'll we'll keep an eye on Yeah, again,

31:20we'll talk about them tomorrow, but so

31:21sad. I was hoping Han would kind of

31:23prove all the doubters wrong and that he

31:24can make it happen in this offense. But,

31:26uh, on to next year. The only silver

31:28lining, it's week three. Hopefully,

31:29he'll be 100% for week one next year in

31:32a better offense.

31:33>> Uh, back to the Seahawks. I was just

31:35talking about

31:35>> This is important.

31:36>> Yeah, I was talking Well, I was going to

31:38start with the running backs. Is that

31:39okay?

31:39>> This is important.

31:40>> Yeah. Oh, definitely. All right. I was

31:41making sure we were on the same. It's

31:43important to talk about JSN. It's

31:45important to

31:45>> What's the analogy?

31:46>> I I was I was worried there. I don't

31:48want I don't want to disappoint Field by

31:50talking about the That was my bad.

31:52>> This is really important.

31:53>> Oh man, that was scary. Uh I I just said

31:55we want to ignore the Washington running

31:57back room. Same thing in Seattle now.

31:59It's a

31:59>> It is a mess. Uh it was Look, Jenarian

32:02Price the first drive, you're like,

32:04"Okay, all right." He got all the

32:06action, got all the snaps, got three

32:08carries, then he fumbled, and then it

32:10was that was it. He ended up playing 17

32:12snaps in this game. Five carries for 15

32:14yards, one catch for seven yards, and

32:16three targets. Good.

32:18>> I was all in on Jadarian Price, as you

32:19guys know. I love Demensen RB, too. I

32:21love the situation. No one else in this

32:23back field has taken control over the

32:25first three weeks of

32:27>> correct. That's the problem. I thought

32:28it might be him with his draft pedigree

32:30and where he was at, it has not

32:31materialized.

32:33>> Go ahead.

32:34>> Just just to round that out, Emanuel

32:36Wilson ends up playing 24 snaps and nine

32:38carries in the game. and George Hani

32:39played 23 snaps. Helani very involved in

32:41the passing game. None of the other

32:43running backs are. Wilson's the lead

32:44rusher. So you have Wilson lead rusher,

32:47nothing in the passing game. You have

32:48Helani nothing in the run game. The

32:50primary pass catcher Jarian Price mixed

32:52in there somewhere. He still has the

32:54highest ceiling of the group, but it's

32:55just not happening. You cannot start any

32:57of these running backs. He's lost a

32:58fumble in two of their three games. In

33:00week one against the Patriots, he lost

33:01one as well. And I mentioned this I said

33:02this on social yesterday, but the

33:04>> the two big red flags for Jarian Price

33:07coming out of college. one, can he catch

33:09the ball? He had just six catches last

33:10year, but there was some way to excuse

33:12that they had Jeremiah Love on Right.

33:14Right.

33:14>> He fumbled way too much in college and

33:16that has followed him to the NFL. And we

33:18know that NFL coaches have very little

33:21tolerance for fumble ititis.

33:23>> And you know the I think the part that's

33:25really concerning for I mean there was

33:26already some indicators that were

33:28concerning including the Emanuel Wilson

33:30go to go carries he was getting prior to

33:32this. Yep.

33:32>> But the thing that's most concerning to

33:34me is that

33:35>> like it's not like the Seahawks are

33:37turning the keys over, handed the keys

33:38over to a good running back.

33:39>> No.

33:40>> Emanuel Wilson is just a plotter.

33:43>> Nine carries for 14 yards and they're

33:45like, you know what, we got to stick

33:46here because we just don't trust

33:48Jadarian Price. There are teams where

33:49it's like, I don't know, the Patriots

33:52Rand Steve is in bubbles. It's like,

33:53maybe you should be playing Travion

33:55Henderson anyways more, right? It's not

33:57like I they should be leaning on Emanuel

33:59Wilson.

34:00That was my whole thing this off season

34:01is George Hani and Emanuel Wilson.

34:03There's a first round pick. There's like

34:05what I saw after this game

34:07>> is I'm going to see if I have an open

34:09spot like an open IR. I'm going to see

34:11if Zach Char is available on

34:13>> We might want to talk about him on

34:14waiverss. Well, we'll keep an eye on his

34:15health. He's eligible to uh return after

34:17week four. So, a week away. Uh any place

34:21on IR before week one is eligible after

34:23week four. So, that's going to shake

34:24things up and we'll keep an eye on his

34:25health. But yeah, you're right. But once

34:27he comes back, Charbanet has a good shot

34:29to take control there. Um, just wrapping

34:31this one up. JSN two touchdowns in all

34:34three games so far. The guy is unreal.

34:3610 for a buck 30 buck 13. Two scores in

34:39this one. Uh, we got there. I was trying

34:41to be clever with my word play there,

34:43but I I couldn't.

34:44>> No, I just I just I'm laughing at the

34:46two touchdowns in every game.

34:47>> You can say you're laughing.

34:48>> I thought it was 132, but whatever.

34:49>> Isn't it two Is it two?

34:51>> I believe it's 132.

34:52>> Is it one? Okay, fair enough.

34:53>> Sorry.

34:53>> He's averaging two touchdowns per game.

34:55Correct. six total touchdowns, at least

34:57eight catches in every game, 120 yards

34:59in every game. It's ridiculous.

35:00>> You know, it's nice to see sometimes

35:01though when you have these quarterbacks

35:02that are protected by their defense and

35:04just have to not mess up and just

35:06>> they put up low numbers, but they win

35:08games. But sometimes they get an

35:09opportunity like Sam Darnold did

35:11yesterday where you're trailing. We'll

35:12see how good you really are. And you

35:13know what? He did pretty darn awesome.

35:15They didn't win, but 31 to 45, 379, four

35:18touchdowns. He'd have two picks, but he

35:19at least some guys just can't do it like

35:21he did it. like he he can step up when

35:23he has to throw the ball and when this

35:25uh or keep this team competitive at the

35:27very minimum. Uh again, didn't come

35:30>> didn't come up with it this time, but

35:31impressive coming off the injury.

35:33>> 11 passing touchdowns allowed by the

35:34Commanders so far this season. Three

35:36games. So, you know, the Commanders like

35:38the Lions, you're playing against them,

35:40you got a chance to really put up some

35:41big numbers.

35:42>> You know who wasn't awesome on Sunday

35:44and hasn't been?

35:45>> Oh, this one hurts. Drake May, guys.

35:49Drake May. three straight games with

35:52singledigit fantasy points. I think even

35:55worse field than your Justin Herbert

35:57call is Drake May who we drafted as a

36:00top five quarterback has not even scored

36:0210 fantasy points in a single game this

36:04year.

36:04>> I mean maybe it's worse, but like Drake

36:07showed us last year that he can be an

36:08elite fantasy player.

36:10>> I I hear you. They're both

36:11disappointing. Drake May, I think I'm at

36:13the point, guys. Here we go. First three

36:15games of the season. and I've been

36:16leaning on him. But this year, we talked

36:18about coming into the season, this is

36:19more of a two quarterback year than

36:21ever. It feels like with us rostering a

36:22second quarterback, the way that they

36:23played, the way that we drafted, I'm out

36:26right now. When I get my week four

36:28rankings coming out, Drake May will not

36:30be ranked as a top 10 quarterback.

36:33>> So mean.

36:34>> Let's uh let's uh there's a tweet on the

36:37screen that was very funny. You guys

36:38should watch the YouTube feed in case

36:39you are not.

36:40>> Uh you guys are mean.

36:41>> Are you guys starting Drake May in week

36:43four or are you okay bing him?

36:44>> Absolutely not. No, they're playing like

36:47there was they're playing the Bills up

36:48and bought.

36:48>> Oh, right, right, right.

36:49>> Obviously, two tough matchups to begin

36:50the season. Yesterday was supposed to be

36:52a not difficult matchup on paper, at

36:54least in comparison to the Seahawks and

36:57the Steelers, who are two legitimate

36:58defenses.

37:01>> There's nothing about the eye test that

37:02suggests that Drake May should be your

37:03starting quarterback right now in

37:04fantasy. Part of the appeal for Drake

37:06May is like he's got elite rushing

37:08upside. He had a rushing touchdown that

37:09was called back because of penalty

37:11yesterday. He had four total carries

37:13though for 18 yards. Another lost

37:15fumble, a lost fumble where the ball was

37:17just in his hand and it just slipped

37:19right out. He had an awful, awful

37:22touchdown,

37:23>> turned into an interception. He threw it

37:25right to Travis Hunter, he looks

37:26completely shook.

37:27>> He does.

37:28>> He's a young player. I get it. But when

37:29you set the bar that he set for not just

37:33him, but those of us in fantasy football

37:34last year,

37:35>> yeah, we're going to come down harder on

37:37you when you look this completely

37:39terrible. He has been awful. As a matter

37:42of fact,

37:42>> he was an MVP candidate last year.

37:44>> He nearly won the award.

37:45>> Like, that's unbelievable that he nearly

37:47won MVP and this is the way that that

37:49guy is starting the first three games.

37:51Mind you, there's not a single pass

37:53catcher that I want to roster in this

37:54offense. They're not helping him out a

37:56whole lot unfortunately though.

37:57>> No, I that is some of the problem.

37:59Although, he was dealing with something

38:00similar last year. It's not like his

38:01supporting gas cast was great. I knew

38:03the schedule was lighter, but I mean,

38:05yeah, M. Collins was his feature target

38:06here. Nine targets, six catches, 87

38:09yards. I mean, that's not ideal. All due

38:10respect to M. Collins, he was not signed

38:13or acquired in any way to be the feature

38:16target for any offense in the NFL, just

38:18more of a support player. So, uh, and

38:20not to mention getting nothing out of

38:21the run game either. I mean, that was a

38:22very a major disappointment. So, uh,

38:25it's been tough going for sure. I will

38:27say last year that was kind of his

38:29breakout game, his coming out party, if

38:30you will, against the Bills, right?

38:31Early in the season when they upset

38:32them, kind of started the trajectory

38:34forward. Maybe he gets that going this

38:36year, but, uh, it's it's hard to trust

38:38him right now. Fisher cut bait is going

38:39to come at some point during the week.

38:41Also will be included there is Drake

38:42May. Just one last thing for me. I think

38:44you should expand the running back

38:45thoughts here in a minute.

38:46>> Drake May, this is a sappy stat from our

38:48great friend Kyle Sappi, the elite, the

38:50GOAT. Uh there have been 91 instances in

38:52which a quarterback has thrown 20 or

38:54more passes in a game this season. That

38:56includes all three games from Drake May.

38:58Of those 91 instances, he has the 74th

39:02most fantasy points, the 78th most

39:04fantasy points, and the 90th most

39:06fantasy points. Only Jameus Winston

39:08filling in for Jackson Dar last week was

39:10worse. So he's been terrible. There's no

39:12two ways about it.

39:13>> That's not good. I don't love the

39:14running backs either.

39:15>> So Raandre Stevens Mike confirmed stats.

39:18I uh the snaps he had like a near two

39:20to1 edge, right?

39:21>> 32 to 21. Okay.

39:22>> 321.

39:23>> Not quite that dramatic. I had the snap.

39:25>> There was some By the way, there was

39:26some garbage time in this too. Cory Ker

39:28played eight late in the game because

39:29they both teams rested play. Well,

39:31certainly the Patriots did.

39:33>> But it's going to be the Randre

39:34Stevenson showed to begin the game.

39:36Trayvon Henderson had just one target.

39:38Like he is an explosive player. They

39:40have to find ways to get him the ball.

39:42They haven't done that

39:43>> on the the Jaguars. Some important stuff

39:45here. Do you want to rifle through it,

39:47Mike?

39:47>> Uh rifle through what? Uh what do you

39:49want to look for?

39:50>> I can rifle through it if you don't

39:51mind.

39:51>> Was it you, Daniel?

39:52>> It was. Yeah. Mike was Mike again. His

39:54heartbeat is racing for the second time

39:56in the show. Like, am I supposed to be

39:57doing this one?

39:57>> No, no, I mean I can. It's already in

39:59front of me. I just didn't know where

40:00you wanted me to go. My bad. I totally

40:02lost my train.

40:02>> No, it's all good, baby. Uh let's talk

40:04about the Jaguars, though. Parker

40:05Washington down game down game in which

40:08he disappoints and still scores 13

40:09fantasy points. This kind of feels like

40:11the Aman Ross St. Brown game, right?

40:13Where it's like, all right, this one is

40:14not great, but three for 40 and a

40:15touchdown. He's still the clear wide

40:17>> receiver. Parker Washington is

40:18>> the new Ros. Yeah,

40:20>> Parker Washington is what everyone

40:22wanted Luther Burden to be.

40:23>> Right now, Parker Washington is crushing

40:25in this game. It was Jacobe Meyers. He

40:28had eight targets. Uh but here's the

40:30thing. Seven for 64 and a touchdown,

40:3219.4 fantasy points. Here's what he did

40:34the first two weeks. He had two targets

40:35in week one. He had one target in week

40:37two.

40:38>> This was a fix me game.

40:39>> This was a This was They're trying to

40:40get Jacobe Myers involved.

40:42>> Jeff Darlington mentioned that on

40:43Fantasy Focus countdown.

40:45>> Yep. Yeah. But uh but interesting though

40:47is there could be something there for

40:48the re this reason only. They tried to

40:51feature Brian Thomas early in the

40:52season. They did not in this one. Yeah.

40:54>> He was kind of phased out. Even Josh

40:56Cameron was kind of trading routes with

40:58him. So I don't know what's going on

41:00with Brian Thomas, but it's not good.

41:01>> It is not good. What's going on with

41:03Bachel Tutin? I think he's like a

41:04low-end RB2 guys. It's not sexy. It

41:06doesn't feel super fun, but he kind of

41:07keeps delivering back-to-back weeks with

41:08the touchdown. 14.2 fantasy points last

41:11week against Denver and then 17 fantasy

41:13points this week against the Patriots.

41:16>> Throw one asterct in there.

41:17>> Yes.

41:17>> Yeah. This was the Trevor Lawrence

41:19>> eight minutes ago. Yes.

41:20>> Trevor Lawrence takes his designed

41:23quarterback run left side of the field.

41:25Yeah.

41:25>> And he stops. He's He's got nothing but

41:28grass in the end zone. Yes.

41:29>> And he takes a knee at the one yard

41:31line. Uh-huh. to take some for no

41:33particular reason.

41:35>> The game was out of hand.

41:37>> Yeah. He said after the fact though, he

41:38was like, "Dude, I was just looking out

41:39for the Bal toot and fantasy managers."

41:41>> That's right. But some of us have Trevor

41:42Lawrence in their lineup, so he like the

41:46the anytime touchdown Trevor Lawrence

41:48ticket holders must have been irate.

41:50>> Oh, definitely. There was no reason to

41:51do that with eight minutes left.

41:53>> It doesn't matter. Like it's totally

41:54inconsequential to the result, but it

41:56one of those things that could matter.

41:57So, I agree that Toutton looked good

41:59yesterday. Um, but that number could

42:01have probably should have been 10.9

42:03fantasy points.

42:04>> And I mentioned that because even though

42:06this is two weeks in a row that he has

42:07looked nice, next four weeks

42:10>> at Cincy, which is a much better defense

42:12than it used to be.

42:13>> Philadelphia,

42:14>> don't like that.

42:15>> Houston and then a buy. So, it's just

42:17for the four weeks in a row, you got

42:18three tough matchups and then you're not

42:20using them here that fourth week. Yeah.

42:21Doesn't feel great.

42:22>> They're still using four running backs

42:23as well. Uh, Laquin Allen's getting some

42:26passing down work now. Mir Abdullah gets

42:28mixed in during he got some garbage time

42:30carries, but they're they're mixing him

42:31in during the game as well. And of

42:33course, Chris Rodriguez scored a rushing

42:34touchdown in this one. So,

42:35>> yeah,

42:36>> Tootton looks the part, but they have

42:38not given him the keys completely yet,

42:40and it's kind of going to limit his

42:41ceiling. That's the concern there.

42:42>> Travis Hunter with his first reception

42:43in this one. Yeah.

42:44>> Uh, yes, he has just as many catch. He

42:46actually has more catches, more

42:47touchdown catches from Drake May than he

42:49does Trevor Lawrence.

42:49>> That's what I thought. Yeah, that's not

42:50great.

42:51>> All right,

42:51>> what's the next one?

42:52>> Uh, let's get to the Vikings and the

42:54Buckers. Not a very fantasy notable

42:57game. I take that back. It's 49ers and

42:59Cardinals. Mike, this is you.

43:01>> Oh, we are going down to 49ers

43:03Cardinals.

43:04>> Did we just skip ahead?

43:06>> We did a little bit. We'll get

43:07>> We got to get moving. We're

43:08>> You know why? Because today

43:10>> I couldn't uh I I couldn't contain my

43:12excitement over Jeremiah Love, guys, who

43:14is suddenly Can you believe this? Think

43:16about how slow he started. I I texted

43:18you guys this last night. He started off

43:20really slow the first two weeks, was

43:21just getting but was getting a little

43:22bit of volume and then has the big game

43:24yesterday. Yep. He is in the top 15

43:26among running backs in fantasy points

43:27for the season already, which is unreal.

43:30Uh

43:30>> did you know that?

43:31>> Big 15. Wait, 15?

43:32>> He's 14th, I believe, at the moment.

43:34>> Gotcha.

43:35>> Uh so 52 snaps in this one to 30 over

43:39Tyler Algier. A big change at 21 carries

43:41for 90 yards. Also had five targets,

43:44caught them all for 19 yards and a

43:45touchdown in this one. Tyler Algier, two

43:48carries, four targets in this game. So

43:49they gave Love the Keys and he

43:51delivered. The efficiency could be a

43:52little better. I mean, rushing

43:54efficiency was terrific, but we want to

43:55get more out of 26 touches. So, a good

43:57sign he's back in the strong RB2

43:59conversation, maybe even backend RB1 at

44:01this point. Michael Wilson got going in

44:04a big way. Marvin Harrison Jr. is over

44:06with. Three for 40, but Wilson's the guy

44:09here. 11 catches, 89 yards, and a

44:11touchdown on 17 targets. That's the

44:13Cardinal side. The Niners. Anything

44:16before I

44:16>> Yeah. Can you drop Michael Wilson or can

44:18you drop not Michael Wilson? Can you

44:19drop Marvin Harrison Jr.?

44:20>> You haven't already.

44:21>> Yeah. I'm just saying like some people

44:22might be like, hey, there's still the

44:23skill set there.

44:24>> He's that guy if you want to keep him on

44:25the end of your bench, but he's nowhere

44:27near lineups right now.

44:28>> All right,

44:28>> I have dropped him for what it's worth.

44:29So, have you can

44:31>> Brock Py who had zero offtarget passes

44:34through two games was uh saw he probably

44:36went in this game because he was 15 to

44:3827, but 297 yards, four touchdowns, ran

44:41for 34 yards. The guy is a top five

44:43fantasy quarterback. He is outstanding.

44:45Debo Samuel with the probably the

44:47statline of the season. It's over. It's

44:49done. Zero targets, zero catches, 80

44:51yards, and a touchdown in this one off

44:53the amazing lateral. Yeah, it was a

44:56pass. It was a pass to Mike Evans. He

44:58caught it lateralled it to Debo. He goes

45:00around the edge and scores an 80 yard

45:01touchdown. So, hilarious game from Debo.

45:04Gets it done. Did have a couple carries

45:05as well in this one. I did want to put

45:07out a quick call to action. And if you

45:09did in fact by the time that you get

45:10done with the Monday Night Football lose

45:13by one fantasy point and you had Debo

45:15because you didn't get a reception,

45:16please send us your box score because I

45:18just want to see if anyone lost because

45:19Debo didn't get a reception on that.

45:22>> Had Lawrence and you were facing Chin or

45:23vice versa.

45:24>> Oh, that would have been a good one too.

45:25That's another Fields. This is part of

45:28the week. George KD all the way back six

45:30for 82 and two touchdowns. So back

45:32>> start of the week at tight end for me.

45:33Thank you and KD. Uh and by the way, we

45:36have to monitor this one. Uh Mike Evans

45:38did, we just mentioned him. He got hurt

45:39in this one. He had three for 34 and a

45:41touchdown, 12 routes, but left the game.

45:44Uh very possible there's mis time here.

45:46We're going to monitor this one. Maybe,

45:47maybe not. We're going to find out in

45:48the next couple of days. But uh the

45:50injury bug just continues to get the

45:5249ers and it could be Evans next.

45:54>> No question about it.

45:55>> Doesn't feel good.

45:55>> Uh next game is Vikings Buccaneers. The

45:58Vikings improve to 3 and0. The Bucks

45:59fall to 0 and3. The biggest storyline of

46:02this one, I think pretty clearly, is the

46:04injury bug, right? Yeah.

46:05>> So, Justin Jefferson leaves this game.

46:08>> Ankle, they said that he was close to

46:10coming back,

46:12>> but he didn't come back. So, Justin

46:13Jefferson leaves without much to show

46:15for it. Jordan Addison stepped into a

46:17bigger role. Five for 90 and a touchdown

46:19there. So, if Jefferson does miss time

46:21and they play the Dolphins next week,

46:23pretty good opportunity for Jordan

46:25Addison to sort of merge emerge into

46:27that top 20ish uh running back range.

46:30Aaron Jones in this game. 15 carries for

46:3256 yards. So, fewer carries than last

46:34week. Played 82% of the snaps, though,

46:37and he had six targets. Good for five

46:39catches and 34 yards. He's right there

46:41hovering around that low-end RB2 range.

46:44If there is no Well, there won't be

46:46Jordan Mason next week because he got

46:47two more weeks on IR. Uh, not much from

46:50the Vikings though. Kyler Murray, not

46:51quite not even closer to declare him as

46:54a fantasy starter. He was 15 for 29.

46:57Yeah, good opportunity versus Miami, but

46:59does not look like the guy that we saw

47:01in Arizona for many years. And just two

47:03rushes for 17 yards.

47:04>> Yeah, that's right. I will say this.

47:06What did we want from him this year? We

47:07wanted one thing.

47:08>> Make Justin Jefferson re.

47:09>> What did he do? Two routes for Jefferson

47:11in this game. Two targets, two catches.

47:13So, at least while he was healthy, he

47:15was getting the ball in his hands, but

47:16yeah, obviously we need to monitor

47:17Jefferson throughout.

47:18>> Uh, the Bucks also hit the injury bug

47:20yesterday as Baker Mayfield left this

47:21game late. He had a dislocated throwing

47:23thumb. Doesn't sound good for week four.

47:25Bucky Irving got banged up late as well.

47:27Don't know a lot about this one, but

47:30don't be surprised if it's the Kenny

47:32Gamewell show with some Shawn Tucker

47:33mixed in next week. The Bucks are a real

47:36life disappointment, 0 and three, even

47:37though they're still a game back in that

47:38terrible division they play in. But

47:40guys, they're a major fantasy

47:42disappointment as well. Amecha Ibuka has

47:44had three straight games that weren't so

47:46bad that we've been talking about him

47:48more, but they have not been good enough

47:50for us to give a bunch of shine.

47:51Correct. Five for 62 on nine targets.

47:54You like the targets? Nine out of Baker

47:56Mayfield's 34 passing attempts going his

47:58way. Disappointing.

48:00Nobody in this pass catching group has

48:02really emerged. They've been spreading

48:04things around way too much. This Bucks

48:06offense like the rest of their team.

48:09Very disappointing.

48:10>> Yeah, nothing more to add there.

48:11>> Vuka will be the highest ranked once

48:13again. He'll probably still be in that

48:15top 30. But

48:16>> by the way, I think Jaylen McMillan I I

48:17don't I don't know if he's not 100% but

48:20or he just lost the job to Ted Hurst

48:21because he has not

48:22>> he had one route in this game. He's not

48:24terrible factor if you've been stashing

48:25him on the end of your bench and you cut

48:27him loose.

48:27>> I have dropped him a bunch

48:28unfortunately. Let's talk about Ravens

48:30and Cowboys.

48:31>> Brazil.

48:32>> What a fun game, guys.

48:34>> Not for Cowboys.

48:35>> Well, it doesn't Well, I'm just saying

48:36for the people in Brazil that were there

48:38to watch this, it was a blast. Dak

48:40didn't play great, but uh 18.9 fantasy

48:43points, guys. I can't complain about

48:4418.9 fantasy points. Feel that. That

48:46hits my level. That hits my line. I It's

48:48I wanted a little bit more, but I'm okay

48:50with that. CD certified good at

48:52football. Yeah, I'll confirm that.

48:54>> Eight targets, nine catches, 112 yards

48:56for 20.2 fantasy points, plus a

48:58two-point conversion.

49:00>> He has at least 15 fantasy points in all

49:02three games to start the season. He's

49:03been awesome. George Pickkins 11

49:05targets.

49:05>> Told you.

49:05>> Yeah, stay patient.

49:08>> He could have been a whole lot more,

49:09right? Because there was that play late

49:10in the game where some people thought he

49:11Dak should have hit George Pickkins for

49:13a wide open touchdown.

49:14>> Wide open. It was really good to see

49:15that volume. Seven for 82, 15.2 fantasy

49:18points. Javvante also went off 19 for 98

49:21and a touchdown plus two catches for

49:23five yards, 18.3 fantasy points. He's

49:26also got 14 or more points in all three

49:28games to start the season.

49:29>> The Cowboys are more of a summary than

49:30an analysis team, right? It's like

49:32here's what they did and they are the

49:33same as they are each and every week.

49:37>> Cowboy Daniel wrote in his notes, I have

49:39zero questions about the Cowboys

49:40offense. They are who we thought they

49:42were. That's basically exactly what

49:44Field said.

49:44>> All right, moving on.

49:45>> That's it. Uh on the other side,

49:47Dererick Henry says, "Efficiency be

49:49damned. I'm gonna find the end zone."

49:51>> Yeah.

49:51>> 26 carries. He turned that into 89

49:53rushing yards. That's poor. That's

49:55really poor. But two touchdowns and a

49:57catch, 21.9 fantasy points. That's all

49:59that matters at the end of the day.

50:00Lamar with a nice nice bounce back after

50:02a 14-point outing in week two. 20.4 here

50:05in week three. Only 186 passing yards,

50:08but two touchdowns, 50 yards on the

50:10ground because that's what Lamar does.

50:11And then Zay Flowers decided to give it

50:13a go.

50:13>> Yeah. Barely played 15 routes.

50:15>> 15 routes. Turn that into five catches

50:17for 83 yards plus a rush for 20 yards.

50:20>> Awesome.

50:20>> 15.4 fantasy points. By the way, we talk

50:22about how there's only one wide receiver

50:24that can be supported in this offense.

50:26Baitman back to the bench. Two catches

50:27for 37 yards. Again, I have zero

50:29questions about this offense. The Ravens

50:31are who we thought they were.

50:32>> Cowboys and the Ravens looking at each

50:34other in a lot of ways.

50:36>> All right, Raider Saints. This is a fun

50:38game.

50:39>> He's back. Brock Bowers is healthy and

50:43God is he back.

50:44>> He was not limited. He ran 34 routes in

50:47this game. That was more pass attempts

50:48than Kirk Cousins had in this game,

50:50which was 33. 13 targets, 10 catches,

50:53116 yards, and a touchdown. He is at

50:56worst tight end two in fantasy, arguably

50:58tight end one over Trey McBride. It's a

51:00close call as we thought it would be

51:01coming into uh the season.

51:04>> Uh that's the that's pretty much it on

51:06the radio. I mean, Ashen Genty was fine,

51:08right? Like he he got his volume. He had

51:1022 touches in this game, 93 yards. He's

51:13fine. You're not touching any of the

51:14wide receivers in this offense. You're

51:16not starting Kirk Cousins even though he

51:18threw three touchdowns because he's a

51:19non-factor with his legs. So, that's it

51:21for the Raiders. We don't really have to

51:22get into anything else. The Saints side,

51:24uh, Tyler Shuck, we ranked him high this

51:27la this past week and they may have

51:29lost, but he did the job. He threw four

51:30more touchdowns in this game.

51:32Interestingly, all of them to tight ends

51:34for some reason, which is annoying. Why

51:35not?

51:35>> Uh, but Joan Johnson had two of them,

51:37eight targets, eight catches, 53 yards.

51:39very much in the title one conversation

51:41at least until Jordan Tyson comes back.

51:43>> Uh Saints backfield, we have to check in

51:46on this one.

51:47>> It looked like we were trend I think you

51:49texted about this. It seemed like we

51:50were trending somewhere early in this

51:52game. Uh Travis Han played 64% of the

51:55snaps until he got hurt in the third

51:58quarter. He had 13 carries for 57 yards.

52:00He had two targets, caught them both for

52:0213 yards. Then he has the hamstring

52:04injury. This one could linger for a

52:05couple of weeks. So, we're going to talk

52:06about this more uh when we get an update

52:08hopefully later today and then on

52:10waiverss tomorrow after he left. This is

52:12the notable Alvin Chimera 14 snaps. CJ

52:15Donaldson seven snaps and Kendre Miller

52:17nine. So, probably going to be a

52:19situation to avoid. Kendry Miller was

52:21not a factor before the injury. He did

52:23played all his snaps afterward. Uh and

52:26there was really nothing. I mean, it was

52:27a three-headed committee and that's

52:28probably what going to be what they do

52:30if a Chan is out. So, this remains a

52:32situation to avoid. It was

52:34simultaneously good to see them find

52:35religion in the backfield, like play the

52:37guy that you spend all this money on,

52:38but then obviously not good when he gets

52:40hurt.

52:41>> Um, the only thing I want to add about

52:43uh one of the sneaky values of Tyler

52:45Shuck just very quickly is, and this is

52:46only further reinforced with Travis Han

52:48unavailable potentially for next week,

52:50they play Monday night against Atlanta.

52:52>> They can't run the ball in short yardage

52:53situations. So Shuck had touchdowns of

52:57like the two- yard ver I think Jawan

52:59Johnson went five for 35 for two

53:01touchdowns. Like it's it's all short

53:02yardage stuff and Tyler Shuck can get

53:04some goal line work himself.

53:06>> Eight for 53 on two touchdowns for Jawan

53:08Johnson. But no Fant for 33 for two

53:11touchdowns.

53:11>> Yeah, we're not going to touch him. He's

53:12still he'll hit for a touchdown here.

53:15There. It's all Mikey. Very similar

53:16dynamic there. You're not going to start

53:18him.

53:18>> I don't know. Third and button and Jan

53:19were considered

53:20>> third. Yeah, I said tight one for him,

53:22but not uh not fam.

53:23>> Rams Broncos.

53:24>> Probably the craziest game of the night.

53:26>> Definitely the craziest game of the

53:27night.

53:27>> Nothing at halftime. The Rams in this

53:29incredibly professional outfit in the

53:30first half and then the Broncos come

53:33back and win 30 to 26 in a game where

53:35they score 30 second half points and

53:36Bonex only throws for 186 yards. Like I

53:39don't know how the Broncos grind these

53:40wins out but they are very very good.

53:42Maybe a questionable DPI penalty late in

53:44the game.

53:45>> I think it was more the Rams snatching

53:46defeat from the jaws of victory.

53:48>> That could be it in that one. I

53:50>> the Rams in a lot of ways are pretty cut

53:53and dry with one notable exception.

53:55Matthew Stafford 21 fantasy points.

53:58Borderline QB1. Yep. Kyro Williams 21.8.

54:01He's awesome. He is still the guy in the

54:03backfield. Dvonte Adams was ridiculous

54:06against Pat Certan. 13 targets. That's

54:09huge. Seven catches 137 yards. That's a

54:12huge night for Dvonte against an awesome

54:14defense. Kannata Mumfield, Mike's guy,

54:16did have a long touchdown catch last

54:18night. I don't know that I Puka could be

54:20back as soon as next week. Even if Puka

54:22is out though, I'd have a hard time

54:24against the Eagles, by the way, feeling

54:26like anybody besides Devonte Adams

54:28amongst the wide receivers should be

54:29started.

54:29>> Agreed.

54:30>> But this is where it gets confusing for

54:31the Rams is it just spin the wheel of

54:34tight ends and each week is going to

54:35land on somebody different because week

54:37one it was Kobe Parkinson, week two was

54:39Terrence Ferguson. Week three there were

54:41they actually opened the game with a

54:43pass to Davis Allen. I think he had two

54:45catches on the first drive. Maybe it was

54:46just one catch, but anyways,

54:47>> two for the game. Yeah,

54:48>> two for the game. Tyler Higgby was

54:50prominently involved in part because

54:51Tyler uh Terrence Ferguson got hurt.

54:54Yep.

54:54>> Yeah. He returned but was not he didn't

54:56play himself.

54:57>> But also Kobe Parkinson was questionable

54:58all week to was obviously limited too. I

55:00think he left the game for a while too.

55:02So

55:02>> So when you have four tight ends, you

55:04might have zero.

55:05>> They have five.

55:06>> If you have four, you might have zero.

55:08And they have five.

55:09>> So I don't know that I can trust a Rams

55:10tight end. Even if there is a good

55:12chance that Matthew Stafford is going to

55:13throw like 15 or 20 passes to tight ends

55:16throughout the course of the game for

55:19the Broncos. Um, backfield staying away.

55:23>> Any agreement there?

55:24>> No. No.

55:24>> I mean, getting all the carries.

55:27Coleman's out, but but he's stealing

55:28passing down work. He's like their

55:30little Quinn Allen. It's just

55:31>> Yep. And Coleman, by the way, on IR. So,

55:34Jonah Coleman will miss four games,

55:35three more after last night.

55:37>> Uh, wide receivers. Another down night

55:39for Jaylen Watt. Come on, man.

55:41>> Point conversion. Get to 5.8 fantasy

55:43points. But another one that you're

55:44like, are we going to have to ride the

55:46roller coaster all year? Pat Bryant had

55:48a touchdown catch last night.

55:50>> Bo was a good player for fantasy. 24.14

55:54fantasy points last night. Four carries

55:56for seven yards and a touchdown. They

55:58have a good matchup next week in San

55:59Francisco.

56:00>> Yep.

56:01>> Still not there totally on Bick. Yep.

56:03>> I'm I'm still a few more solid

56:05performances away.

56:06>> It hasn't look He hasn't had a solid

56:07performance. needs to like it needs to

56:08not just be good in the box score.

56:10>> Correct.

56:11>> But good in real life because the

56:13difference between him and Blake Bortles

56:14like back in the day when he was

56:15bordling was it was like

56:16>> they were a bad team. They were just

56:18garbage. It's Jacobe Brassette what he

56:19did yesterday. Right. The Broncos are a

56:21good team. Like they're going to win a

56:22lot of games this year. I need to see it

56:24from Bo before I trust him.

56:26>> 100% with you on that one.

56:28>> And it's disappointing, but you're

56:29probably still trusting Jaylen Wadd.

56:30It's just this was this is going to be

56:31>> I don't know, man. Maybe we'll have to

56:33>> We'll have to We'll look at it. We'll

56:34look at on Wednesday when we're going

56:35through our rankings. Let's talk

56:37Panthers and Browns. Let's do it.

56:39>> Yeah, they this one could be pretty

56:40quick, but uh the Browns get it done at

56:42home. Harold Fannon, seven for 51 and

56:44two touchdowns on nine targets. Back in

56:46the tight end one conversation. He is a

56:47good connection with Watson obviously.

56:49Uh and also we can't trust a receiver,

56:51so it should run through uh Fannon. We

56:54had a disappearing act here from Denzel

56:56Boston. They're still trying to feature

56:57Casey Conpsion

56:59targets.

57:00>> Yeah, he has 20 targets for 80 yards

57:02this season. It's just not happening

57:03yet. Uh, and Watson just missed him so

57:05many times yesterday. Um, I expected

57:07more from Quinn Sean Judkins. The volume

57:09was there. He had 18 for 70 on the

57:10ground, which is fine, but only two for

57:12nine yards through the air. He's just

57:14not cementing himself as a tight end or

57:16a running back one. It's a problem right

57:17now. Um, Jaylen Coker left this game

57:19injured. That's a problem here. Two for

57:2118 early in that one. Bryson Tmaine

57:23stepped in and had four for 83, but

57:25we're not going to trust him as a

57:26starter. Uh, keep in mind Xavier Legette

57:28was out as well for this one.

57:30>> He will be a chalky DFS name though.

57:32Bryson Tmaine, they play the Lions on

57:33Sunday night.

57:34>> Yeah, we'll see what his price point

57:35looks like. But hopefully Jaylen Coker

57:37is ready to go. But yeah, considering he

57:39was questionable and left his game, you

57:40have to plan otherwise. For now, uh

57:43Bryce Young back to earth in this one.

57:44272 yards, a touchdown, and

57:46interception. His what he thought, you

57:48know, he's going to be a mid to backend

57:50quarterback, too, most likely.

57:51>> He almost stole my line.

57:53>> What?

57:53>> He is what he thought they were.

57:55>> Well, he can't even get it out. He'll be

57:56ranked very high.

57:57>> Yes, he will. Oh, yes, he will in that

57:58matchup. And then hopefully uh he'll

58:00bring Tedo McMillan back with him

58:02because he had a dud in this one in

58:03Cleveland. Two for 17 on five targets.

58:06Uh no Jonathan Brooks meant AJ Dylan

58:08replaced him. And that's basically what

58:10happened because Chuba Hubard outnapped

58:11him 62 to 12 in this one. 19 for 82 on

58:16the ground for Hubard. Also had four

58:17catches for 28 yards. He's a front end

58:19RB2.

58:20>> Chuba also helped some of us win a red

58:22zone question yesterday with that 19th

58:24carry. It was 18 or more carries

58:26yesterday for Chuba. was uh that was my

58:28uh that was my prop bet.

58:30>> It was 18 and a half and he had 19 and I

58:32I was not happy. But I did get the Josh

58:34Allen under but missed on on Hubard. So

58:37>> yeah, cuz Josh was eight carries.

58:38>> Yes.

58:39>> Yes.

58:39>> I did mention really quickly that the

58:41you're starting all the quarterbacks,

58:42every quarterback scored at least 23

58:43fantasy points. These are the top pass

58:45catchers against the Lions this year.

58:46Chris Olive scored 28.

58:48>> Devon Vle had 19.9.

58:50>> Dalton Concincaid had 22.

58:52>> Garrett Wilson had 26. Kenyan Sadi had

58:5523.5. Is this a Tedro McMillan stat

58:58right here?

58:58>> Tedo McMillan or are we throwing a dart

59:00at Darren Waller with the way that tight

59:02ends tight ends have scored at least 15

59:04fantasy points against the Detroit

59:05Lions? They he keeps scoring touchdowns

59:07right now. So anyways, let's talk about

59:09the next one. Titans and Giants. This

59:11one can be quick. Holy smokes, this game

59:13was bad, guys.

59:14>> The rain absolutely 100% a factor, but

59:17>> it was just disgusting in general. Uh no

59:20Jackson Dart. Jameus Winston didn't look

59:22like the old Jamus. He just looks old.

59:24Jameus Winston just looked like an old

59:25quarterback. He's not the We were

59:27excited when it's like the backup

59:29quarterback is famous Jamus, the guy

59:31that's going to elevate all of our

59:32fantasy guys. I don't think that we have

59:33that guy anymore.

59:34>> Yeah, tough conditions here, but we'll

59:35see maybe in better. But I really

59:37thought even with the tough conditions,

59:39I was going to see something different.

59:40The first game when he came in, it was

59:41like, oh, he just didn't look like he

59:42was fully prepared.

59:44>> Still didn't really look fully prepared

59:45in this one when I was watching the

59:46game. But Malik Neighbors, I think, has

59:48a limited ceiling for the time being

59:50with Jamus until we see something else.

59:52right now is just you can't bench him,

59:53but he is not the wide receiver one that

59:55you were hoping he was going to be if

59:56you decided to take a shot on him in the

59:58third round. Cam 20 carries for 60

1:00:00yards, three catches for 40 yards, only

1:00:0313 fantasy points, has yet to hit 15

1:00:06fantasy points in a game this season.

1:00:08Luckily, next two games maybe can do

1:00:10that against Arizona and Washington. So,

1:00:12two defenses that you could potentially

1:00:14take advantage of, but Cam has not

1:00:15looked great. Did we get Isaiah likely

1:00:17two years in a row, by the way, where we

1:00:18had a huge week one and then he just

1:00:20disappears for the rest of the season,

1:00:22or is this a quarterback situation and

1:00:24we should be holding tight based on the

1:00:26skill set of Isaiah likely?

1:00:27>> He had 10 targets in week two.

1:00:29>> Mhm.

1:00:29>> And the weather was awful yesterday. I'm

1:00:31willing to excuse it. I agree. Agreed.

1:00:33>> All right. For the other side, Tony Pard

1:00:35more points in week three than both of

1:00:36his first two weeks combined. A whopping

1:00:3813.6 here this week against the Giants.

1:00:41Just doesn't feel great. Wandell

1:00:42Robinson had a big game, 18.7. Carnell

1:00:45Tate had another nice game, 11.8, best

1:00:47game by all of the Titans across the

1:00:49board,

1:00:50>> but I'm still not going to play any of

1:00:51them because their next two weeks they

1:00:53have they are at Baltimore and then take

1:00:55on the Houston Texans.

1:00:57>> So, it was great if you happen to rely

1:00:59on them this week. I'm just not using it

1:01:00for going forward here was not good for

1:01:02>> Love the nine targets for Tate, but it

1:01:04hasn't turned into much yet. Yeah, it's

1:01:06>> and it was a slow start. He did a lot of

1:01:08this in the second half.

1:01:10>> Let's preview this Monday Night Football

1:01:11game. Michael's Philadelphia Eagles

1:01:13taking on the Chicago Bears.

1:01:16>> That is what the weather's going to look

1:01:17like right there.

1:01:18>> No, it's supposed to be nice. Supposed

1:01:19to be beautiful tonight.

1:01:19>> Is it like 70 and sunny?

1:01:21>> Oh, that would 74 straight days of rain.

1:01:24It feels like

1:01:24>> this is Chicago. So, different part of

1:01:26the country.

1:01:26>> I would love 70 and sunny here. Yeah.

1:01:28Uh, how you guys feel about this Bears

1:01:29offense knowing that Case Keenum going

1:01:31to get the start tonight?

1:01:31>> Better than with Tyson Bean. I said that

1:01:33last week. I guess there's no way to

1:01:34run.

1:01:34>> I'm still surprised by that. Yeah,

1:01:36>> I think it's just going to distribute

1:01:37it. I don't have a lot of optimism, but

1:01:39Coloulston Lovelin was still inside my

1:01:41top 12 for tight ends.

1:01:42>> Roma Dunce and Luther Burden are out

1:01:45would have been outside my top 30 for

1:01:47this week, though.

1:01:47>> Yeah, this is a tricky one. Your

1:01:48lineup's probably set, right? So, yeah,

1:01:50temper expectations with no Caleb, but

1:01:53it already wasn't good with Caleb.

1:01:54That's kind of was our analysis and uh

1:01:56we'll see how this goes. Hopefully, you

1:01:58can get the ball in their hands.

1:01:59>> On the other side, Eagles. Is there

1:02:01anybody from the Eagles that's just not

1:02:02an obvious start? We're playing Jaylen

1:02:03Herz, playing Dvonte Smith, playing

1:02:05Saquon Barkley. Saquin off the injury

1:02:07report entirely. He's good to go.

1:02:08Hopefully that stinger does not recur.

1:02:11Um but this is like we need to see more

1:02:14from Saquon here.

1:02:14>> Yep. You know who else we're going to

1:02:15see tonight? Zack Z. It seems reportedly

1:02:18will be activated for this game. His

1:02:19return to the Eagles. That'll be fun to

1:02:21see. No Dallas.

1:02:22>> Yeah.

1:02:23>> I had a situation where I had to replace

1:02:25Dallas Goddard and I was sort of going

1:02:27back and forth between Aronda Gats in a

1:02:28second and Zack Curts.

1:02:30>> The problem was when waiverss are

1:02:31running you're like you don't know if

1:02:32Zackart's going to even be active.

1:02:33>> Correct. That's the thing.

1:02:34>> Noah Fan then. I assume naturally I

1:02:37picked a Ronda G.

1:02:37>> This was a great tight end week to be

1:02:39honest. Like tight ends tight end 10

1:02:41scored 14.9 fantasy points.

1:02:43>> There's some strategery to that. I think

1:02:44across the league as we saw all the

1:02:46combine invites, all the tight ends

1:02:48drafted. I mean that's been a trend more

1:02:5013 personnel.

1:02:51>> I'm going to go on a limb here and take

1:02:52the Eagles with Case Keenum starting at

1:02:55quarterback field. Where you going on

1:02:56this?

1:02:56>> You imagine not picking the Eagles.

1:02:58>> BEARS TAKING THE BEARS BEARS. I WENT on

1:03:01I went on an island in like a handful of

1:03:02games this week. I think I went over. So

1:03:04maybe I snap the streak today.

1:03:06>> Well, uh, if they win, it's probably

1:03:07going to be because they they're Look,

1:03:09we know they're going to try to run the

1:03:10ball. Yep. And if they do it

1:03:11successfully, they can win this game

1:03:12like they did last year when they just

1:03:14Swift and Manungai both had a huge game

1:03:16in that match up with the Eagles.

1:03:17>> 270 yards.

1:03:18>> Yeah. So, that's going to be their

1:03:19strategy here. You no doubt without

1:03:21Caleb.

1:03:21>> Do you know if you guys need any Monday

1:03:22Night Miracles

1:03:24>> in any of your matchups?

1:03:25>> No, I'm I'm beating you by like 10 and

1:03:26one league we're playing. So, I I'm

1:03:28good. Really? My team My FC team is

1:03:31>> so bad.

1:03:32>> And I had like the game of the year for

1:03:34who rushed it.

1:03:35>> Yeah. Everyone went off.

1:03:36>> Yeah.

1:03:36>> Our guy Zach needs 21 from Jaylen Herz.

1:03:39>> Okay. I think that's possible. That's

1:03:41doable. That's possible. Yeah. We'll see

1:03:42how that one works.

1:03:43>> Yeah.

1:03:43>> I said before the show, this is a good

1:03:45week for the brand. I This is, you know,

1:03:47like week one was bad for the guys I

1:03:48liked a lot. Week three was great for

1:03:49the guys I liked. So, my team's

1:03:51naturally uh had a good week, but next

1:03:53year it'll go the other direction

1:03:54because that's fantasy football.

1:03:56>> That is fantasy football. Excited to be

1:03:57able to come back and do this more

1:03:58tomorrow with you guys. We'll talk about

1:04:00the Monday Night Football game then, as

1:04:01well as some waiverss. Don't forget to

1:04:03love each other and be kind to yourself.

1:04:05We love you guys. Thank you for hanging

1:04:06out with us. We'll see you when you come

1:04:07back on Tuesday.

1:04:11>> You're in the 0610

1:04:13focus.

1:04:15Fantasy.

1:04:18Fantasy. Focus.

1:04:43Hey.
