The BIGGEST Takeaways from Week 4 of the NFL | Fantasy Focus

0:00Fantasy. You're in the 0610.

0:04Focus.

0:06Fantasy.

0:09Fantasy focus.

0:14>> What's up friends? Welcome into fantasy

0:16focus football alongside. Sorry about

0:18that. Mike Clay and Field

0:19>> tradition.

0:19>> My name is Daniel Do. Very excited to

0:21recap all the things that we're week

0:23four in fantasy football. First and

0:25foremost though, I have to tell you

0:26about the most athletic thing I have

0:28ever heard feel.

0:29>> Oh,

0:30>> or see or I guess you saw it.

0:32>> I didn't see it. No, no, I did not see

0:33it.

0:34>> Yeah. Yeah.

0:34>> I as we walk out of this studio, we have

0:37a door that we push and I have to push

0:39it out in order to get into a hallway.

0:40>> Yes.

0:41>> And Field notoriously brings into our

0:43studio two liquids.

0:45>> Mhm.

0:46>> We have a thing of water.

0:47>> We call them a drink goblin is what we

0:48call them.

0:49>> Yes. Yes. So, he has a water and then

0:50his little tea. I pushed the door open

0:53with field directly behind the door and

0:56all I heard was

0:59like it was the Matrix and then he's

1:01just standing there holding both of them

1:03as I almost bowl him over basically

1:06>> like a regular Darius Cooper yesterday

1:08in Philly

1:09>> the only highlight of the Eagles off

1:10actually the Chiefs might need you at

1:12receiver next week as we'll get to that

1:14next week thankfully lot of things we

1:16should get into here yeah all right

1:18we're going to dive into each and every

1:19game as we always do one of us is going

1:21take the lead and we're going to start

1:23with Cowboys and Texans. Mike Clay, that

1:25one's going to go over to you, my

1:26friend.

1:26>> Yeah. Uh CD Lamb # good at football. How

1:30about this one about it?

1:31>> Unbelievable.

1:32>> Extend Mike now.

1:33>> Is 21 targets good?

1:35>> Yeah.

1:36>> That's a lot. Uh 17 catches, 189 yards,

1:40and a touchdown as well. He crushed it.

1:42He's an elite fantasy receiver. We're

1:44talking about him up there with, you

1:46know, I'm not going to put him quite on

1:47a healthy Jamar Chase or Puka Naku or

1:49JSN just yet, but he's right there. I

1:51mean, right on the cusp after what we

1:53saw yesterday. Um,

1:54>> he's the NFL receiving yards.

1:56>> Yeah, he does. He's He's uh Yeah, I

1:58mean, look, he's led the position in

1:59fantasy points before. He could

2:01certainly do it. Uh, so he was awesome.

2:03Not much else to add there other than

2:04he's a superstar. If you drafted him

2:06late in the first round, you're feeling

2:07good. Javvante Williams, if you got him,

2:09he was excuse me. Uh oh.

2:11>> Getting choked up about Javante.

2:13>> I know. So good. mean so much to you. A

2:15hat trick for Javante.

2:16>> So good to us. Uh yeah, much like CD

2:17Lamb just uh crushed it. 19 for 62 and

2:20three scores on the ground. Also cut all

2:22five of his targets for 21 yards. Uh one

2:24of them boring picks in fantasy drafts.

2:26It's just getting the job done week in

2:27and week out. We don't talk about him a

2:29lot because he's just one of the more

2:30reliable players in fantasy. Huge game

2:32in week four. Uh by the way, C Lamb had

2:35a big game. Javvante Williams had a big

2:36game. George Pickkins only had three

2:38targets. Still at 75 yards. So I I stand

2:40by this. I said it before. just stay the

2:43course with him. He's gonna still be

2:44startable. He's gonna be fine.

2:46>> Uh Jake Ferguson though, we did warn you

2:48on this one. He was going to disappear.

2:50Hopefully, you're not starting him. Just

2:51three for 11 in this game. So,

2:53>> that's the Dallas side. Unless you guys

2:55have anything else to add there.

2:56>> They are pretty straightforward. They

2:57are two receivers and and I understand

2:59the frustration of George Pickkins

3:01manager. So, we can have that

3:02conversation going into week five. But

3:04CD Lamb, Javvante Williams, Dak Prescott

3:06said it, forget it. Move on.

3:08>> Yeah. Uh Houston side Nico Collins is

3:10back.

3:10>> Loved it fellas. He's healthy. Went off

3:13seven catches, 118 yards, and two

3:15touchdowns on eight targets in this

3:17game. The guy's a superstar. When he's

3:18healthy, we just have to stay on the

3:20field. We obviously debated that at

3:21length in the offseason.

3:22>> I have an official declaration on the

3:24board bet. It's a tie.

3:25>> It's a tie right now because he has

3:27missed 50% of his games this season,

3:29>> but in the two games that he did play,

3:30he was really good.

3:31>> It was amazing. You guys both win. You

3:33both tie tie for now. Uh but he is he is

3:36rolling. Uh the only other uh Texan over

3:3950 yards was Jaylen Null who had 85

3:42yards and three targets. Obviously

3:43that's the end of rotation behind him.

3:45We're not worried about that. Uh and

3:47then to the backfield, David Montgomery,

3:48another dud. He played 58% of the snaps,

3:51just 24 yards on 10 carries, 19 yards on

3:54zero targets.

3:55>> Yeah, somehow

3:56>> he had a lateral early in the game

3:58>> the week before. So no targets. That's

4:00going to crush it. And who got the goal

4:01line touchdown again?

4:03>> Woody Marks.

4:03>> Woody Marks.

4:04>> Dquavius. Yeah, this is uh this is rough

4:07for David Montgomery. He is

4:09>> what we said he was. He's a flex. He

4:10gets it just enough volume in this

4:12offense to hang in the flex

4:13conversation, but the upside limited

4:16obviously and the floor is very low.

4:18>> Touchdown dependent in a major way.

4:20>> Yeah, very good game by the way. Very

4:21competitive, very good game. Texans 0

4:23and4.

4:25>> 0 and4 not great. No team rough to come

4:27back since the 1992 Chargers has made

4:29the playoffs after starting 0 and4.

4:31They're the only team to ever do so in

4:33NFL history. I don't know. I mean, like,

4:35do you do we feel like the Texans after

4:37watching the Bills and the Cowboys both

4:39put up a huge number of points, is the

4:41Texans defense still the Texans defense

4:43that we would call it?

4:43>> No, I mean like we were talking about

4:45like benching guys entirely against the

4:47Texans defense. That is certainly not

4:48the case. Dak 18.1 fantasy points on a

4:51monster day, but he 335 yards. It was

4:54just that Javvante Williams had those

4:56three touchdowns. Tried to tell you

4:57after week one on David Montgomery,

4:59we're going to miss I don't know a

5:01hundred things a week on this show. It's

5:03called being a fantasy football analyst,

5:05but it was the most obvious sell high

5:07that you will see in fantasy football.

5:09People got very mad. They got in their

5:11feelings on David Montgomery. If you did

5:13sell high on David Montgomery, bravo,

5:15because you may well have upgraded to a

5:17much more serviceable back going

5:18forward.

5:19>> Yeah. By the way, I think we should

5:20mention uh no major injuries in this

5:23game. And I feel like we need to say

5:24that because that's not going to be the

5:25case for a majority of the games.

5:28A lot of concerns here. Yep.

5:29>> Let's talk fantasy about the Patriots

5:31and the Bills, but in reality, the

5:32Patriots went up there and said, "Don't

5:34count us out yet." Drake May with a

5:37vintage performance. This guy looked

5:38like the player we saw last season.

5:40>> He started out slow and sketchy this

5:43game feel because he had a fumble and an

5:44interception. I feel like early and I

5:46was so proud of how he rebounded in this

5:48game itself.

5:49>> Yeah, the interception was off the hands

5:51of Romeo Dobs, who I'm going to rename

5:53Romeo Dos. He's been renamed. You guys

5:55know I'm a Massachusetts guy. I've got

5:56tons of friends that are still diehard

5:58Patriots fans. We text all the time

6:00about the Patriots and especially on

6:01Sundays. And he has earned the nickname

6:03the roller coaster

6:04>> after yesterday's performance from Romeo

6:06Dobson, which he had six catches for 58

6:08yards and two touchdowns, nearly 24

6:11fantasy points after M. Holland also

6:13gets hurt. The Patriots are playing wide

6:15receiver in the second half with M,

6:16excuse me, Romeo Dobs, Deario Douglas,

6:19and Eftton Chisum as their three top

6:21guys. Chisum makes the catch of the

6:23week. Ridiculous. Are you kidding me? to

6:25win the game for the Patriots. I'm not

6:27sure any of those guys other than Romeo

6:29Dobs matter for fantasy. We'll talk

6:31about the Patriots receiver room more

6:33into do going into week five against the

6:35Raiders. The two positions that might

6:37matter for the Patriots in fantasy are

6:38Drake May. Yep.

6:40>> Quarterback and the two running backs.

6:42>> Drake May yesterday kind of a reminder,

6:44you know, maybe part of the reason why I

6:46was under 10 fantasy points in weeks one

6:47through three is that I just play three

6:49elite defenses, three very good defenses

6:52at the very least. The Patriots schedule

6:54gets a little lighter going forward

6:56after playing the Bills yesterday.

6:58They're an offensive team, of course,

6:59for the Raiders this weekend, who have

7:01been good against quarterbacks so far

7:03this year. Would not put the Raiders

7:05defense in the same category as Seattle

7:07or Pittsburgh or Jacksonville on the

7:09running backs. So, so Drake will end

7:11re-enter that top 10 quarterback

7:12conversation for week five with some

7:14better matchups beyond that as well. for

7:17the running backs. Don't know how much

7:19we have learned from weeks one two to

7:22three to four. Other than this, for

7:25Tayvon Henderson to pay off, he's going

7:28to need a long rushing touchdown. For

7:31Raandre Stevenson to pay off, he's going

7:33to need either a goal line rushing

7:36attempt or a handful of targets. Yes, he

7:38got both of those yesterday.

7:40>> He played more snaps than Tayon

7:42Henderson. Henderson had one more

7:43rushing attempt. keeping my eyes on

7:46Randre this week because very late in

7:48that game he left. I think the game was

7:50kind of it was like there was like two

7:52plays left. So, we'll monitor whether he

7:53is banged up. But, if you're choosing

7:55between a Patriots running back, the

7:57perfect answer is probably starting a

7:59better backfield.

8:00>> Yeah.

8:00>> Yeah.

8:01>> But, it's hard not to lean towards

8:02Arandre Stevenson based off how things

8:04have gone in three games with the two of

8:06them together on the field. It

8:07>> just feels like you're playing

8:08whack-a-ole, like trying to guess which

8:10one of them is going to get the big

8:11week. Yeah, it kind of comes down to

8:12like what do you think is more likely to

8:13happen in the course of a single game?

8:15Yeah.

8:16>> Goal line attempts for Randre and some

8:18targets or Tayvon Henderson rips a 25

8:20yard touchdown. I I lean it's like a

8:226040 lean towards

8:24>> the former meaning Randre Ste. Agreed.

8:26>> Uh for the Bills, DJ Moore leaves this

8:29game. It's one of the injuries that Mike

8:30was referring to is that same shoulder

8:32injury he's been dealing with. Doesn't

8:34sound like it's long term, but it does

8:35sound like there's a chance next Monday

8:37night when the Bills go to LA to play

8:39the Rams. huge game Monday Night

8:41Football. He will not be available,

8:43which would mean it's the Keon Coleman

8:44show. Guys, one of the cool stories, and

8:46I get it, the Bills lose yesterday. But

8:48Keon Coleman, by his own owner's

8:50admission, was basically a failed draft

8:53pick because the coaches got too

8:54involved in the process here. He was

8:56defending his GM, Brandon Bean.

8:58>> He'll be one of the Waverwire targets

8:59this week. He looked great yesterday.

9:01>> He did.

9:01>> He was awesome. Yesterday was Keon

9:03Coleman. Uh Belton Concincaid, guys,

9:07fool me once, shame on you. Fool me

9:09twice. Shame on me.

9:10>> Yeah, this one hurts. I mean,

9:12>> fool me three times. His route

9:13participation dropped dramatically

9:15yesterday.

9:16>> Weeks one and two are very different

9:17than weeks three and four.

9:18>> Yeah, he uh Josh Allen had 33 passing

9:21attempts yesterday. Dson Conver total of

9:2417 routes. For context, Khalil Shakir

9:26was most on the Bills at 27. While Keon

9:28Coleman will rightfully be a heavily

9:32targeted waiver person this week,

9:35doesn't it just kind of feel like this

9:37is going to be the offense that will

9:38rotate between some weeks it's going to

9:39be Daltton Concincaid and we don't know

9:41when, some weeks it's going to be Kian

9:42Coleman, some weeks it'll be the DJ

9:44Moore weeks. It kind of just feels like

9:45this there is no number one alpha. There

9:48are guys that have stepped up when given

9:50certain opportunities. Yeah. But I don't

9:52think we are going to know week in and

9:53week out which one of them we can

9:55consistently count on outside of the DJ

9:57Moore which we think we can if he's

9:58healthy.

9:59>> Yeah, I hear you on that. I just until

10:00DJ Moore is back. I do think someone's

10:02got to be the guy some level of value

10:04and that game on Monday night should be

10:05a highscoring one just because Buffalo

10:07can't stop anybody it seems right now.

10:10James Cook. The last thing I'll say

10:11about this Bills team, unless you guys

10:12want to enter the chat, is James Cook

10:15steady day, 16.3 fantasy points, but

10:18we'll continue to say it until the Cows

10:20come home between Josh Allen at the goal

10:22line and the Bills not throwing the ball

10:24much to James Cook and he had just two

10:25catches yesterday. His ceiling is

10:27capped. He can't quite scrape into that

10:29top fiveish running back range with the

10:32likes of Gibbs and Bejon and Jonathan

10:35Taylor and Kenneth Walker III who are

10:37just doing it at such a high level.

10:38Right.

10:38>> Correct. Uh, by the way, Josh Allen,

10:41all-time leading touchdown maker.

10:44>> Scrimmage touchdowns for the Buffalo

10:45Bills.

10:46>> Not passing, just

10:49receiving.

10:49>> Unbelievable. Of all 32 franchise, only

10:53one of them is a quarterback, it is of

10:55course Josh Allen. Backto back under

10:58Josh Allen level standards for him.

11:01>> Yeah,

11:02>> we have a long ways to go. And it's not

11:04like there's been a bunch of

11:04quarterbacks that have totally crushed

11:06it relative to where they were drafted.

11:09>> But if you are on the it's okay to be

11:11patiented quarterback and not pay the

11:13full freight on Josh Allen, the fact

11:15that two out of his four weeks have been

11:17worth it is probably justification for

11:19that lineup.

11:20>> But there were a lot of victory laps

11:21after week two unreaching for Josh

11:23Allen. I'm not and it was a little

11:25premature. you know, he he has a history

11:27of this too where when the games that

11:29matter most, they'll start running more

11:31and be super productive and put up huge

11:33numbers and then kind of level off a

11:35little bit and turn it over a little

11:36more and not be running as much and

11:38comes back to earth. So, uh, I thought

11:40that that narrative was a little carried

11:41away. We'll see. I I could it could

11:43prove right by the end of the season to

11:45your point, but right now it's it's been

11:4650/50. Um, let's talk about the Rams and

11:49Eagles, my friends. A narrative that I

11:51don't want to be right is about Jaylen

11:53Herz just not being a good fantasy

11:55quarterback anymore. Guys, we obviously

11:56have

11:57>> good real life quarterback.

11:58>> This was a really tough one. 12 for 27,

12:0093 passing yards, two passing

12:02touchdowns. That bailed him out. Only

12:04had five rushes for 18 yards as well.

12:07Four designed rushes, four rushing yards

12:09on those designed rushes for what it's

12:11worth. Yeah, I do want to say missing uh

12:1440% of his offensive line, missing

12:16Saquon Barkley, missing Devonte Smith,

12:18missing Dallas against a very good Rams

12:22defense. So, I do want to put that

12:24perspective out there. This was a very

12:26tough situation to be dealing with. Uh

12:28but sometimes you got to carry your team

12:30and they blew this one. They had control

12:32up by 10th quarter.

12:33>> I think I speak for all or most Eagles

12:35fans with this t-shirt that I wore

12:36today. This is how it feels right now to

12:38be an Eagles fan. Life was good.

12:39>> Life was good. It was good. Uh, it's not

12:42feeling good right now. They're

12:43struggling.

12:43>> Unfortunately, as a part of that, as you

12:44mentioned, Saquon Barkley got hurt,

12:46hamstring injury, and ended up leaving

12:48this game. Doesn't feel great. So, we'll

12:49continue to monitor that. Tank Bsby also

12:51got banged up.

12:52>> He did. Yes. He left with like three

12:54minutes in the game. He ended up going

12:56to the locker room. No info beyond that

12:59as of right now, but it could be the

13:00Will Shipley show in week five, which is

13:03a game across the pond in London. I

13:05don't know when they're traveling, but

13:06we'll see whether Saquon and and Bsby

13:08even make the trip. Yeah. If there's no

13:10Squan, do you think that there is a

13:13running back that you would I we may

13:14talk about Will Shipley as a part of

13:15this, would you want to start him this

13:17week, one of these two running backs?

13:18>> I think if both are healthy, meaning

13:20Bsby and Shipley, I prefer Tanksby

13:22because he's he's a very talented runner

13:24as Tank Bsby. He passes the eye test

13:26when he gets opportunities here. Um he

13:28had 14 for 55 yesterday. Yep.

13:31>> Obviously, if if he's out, then Will

13:32Shipley just based off volume. I don't

13:34even know who their fourth running back

13:35is, Mike. Who?

13:36>> Yeah, they'll uh I don't know. Good

13:37question. Whoever I think he blew off

13:40the Cowboys if he's still on the

13:42practice squad, but obviously Dallas

13:43didn't trust him to make their roster.

13:45So, uh, Shipley's already been handling

13:46a lot of passing down work anyway. So,

13:48if he's also going to get 12 to 15

13:50carries, yeah, there'd be some interest

13:51there. Uh, I wonder if the Eagles might

13:53be like a sleeper team to go after a

13:55Tony Pard or something like if if

13:57Barkley just can't hold up this year,

13:58they might have to address it.

13:59>> And it sounds like the Saquon Barkley

14:01injury is serious. Not like, hey, you

14:03know what? He he tweaked it. He's going

14:04to be back practicing today. He's got a

14:06chance to play on Sunday. Like, this one

14:07looked nasty. You could see it right

14:09when it happened. Uh he pulled up lane.

14:11This looked like the Caleb Williams

14:13looked like the Travis Achan. Caleb's

14:15timeline three to four weeks. Achan

14:17going to miss at least four games plus a

14:19fifth game because of a by-week. So this

14:21could be a month plus with no Saquon

14:23Barkley who was already struggling. This

14:25Eagles offense is a mess right now.

14:27>> Yeah, it is. Obviously not having Dvonte

14:28Smith didn't really help in this

14:30situation. We thought maybe Dvonte Wixs

14:31was going to step up. It wasn't him.

14:33Sorry, what did I say?

14:34>> Dvonte.

14:34>> Oh, my bad. Dantavian Wix. We thought

14:36maybe it would be the rookie Mai Lemon.

14:38It wasn't him. No, it was Darius Cooper.

14:41>> Michael. Yeah. I uh I like the story

14:43though because he's the uh guy that they

14:45kept adding receivers in the offseason.

14:47Everyone had him as a cut and it's like

14:48Eagles love him. He's just stuck around

14:50for can't can't talk today. Uh he stuck

14:54around for a while and um they like him.

14:56He finally got a chance yesterday.

14:57>> Yeah. I was just feeling feeling tough.

14:59I understand you're choked up. Let's

15:00move on and talk about the Rams so that

15:01we can give Mike some.

15:03>> Uh

15:03>> not quite to the Titans. Oh, not quite

15:05to the Titans, but we're going to talk

15:06about the Rams for a second here still.

15:07Matthew Stafford, not good. Not

15:09necessarily, but he did throw for 300

15:11passing yards. That's the thing. Like,

15:12he had two interceptions. Didn't get in

15:14the end zone. You know why? Cuz someone

15:16else stole all the touchdowns in this

15:17offense. Kairen Williams, RB1 right now

15:20on the week. 36.7 fantasy points, 16

15:23carries, 80 rushing yards, and two

15:25touchdowns. Oh, not done yet. 13

15:28targets.

15:28>> Yeah, what is that?

15:29>> For 10 catches and 67 yards as well,

15:32guys. really good game script for that

15:34to happen though. And the Eagles still

15:35have a good secondary. Like the Eagles

15:36defense still brought it yesterday. And

15:38when you're down big and you can't

15:40protect, you're going to dump the ball

15:42off. Kirin, what an effective player. Uh

15:44our colleague Bill Barwell made this

15:46point yesterday, by the way, about

15:47Matthew Stafford. Basically, like we

15:49spent all this time litigating every

15:52relitigating Drake May's 2025 season. We

15:55should probably be doing the same thing

15:57with Matthew Stafford given the fact

15:58that and they're both now two and two

16:00and Stafford made some plays yesterday

16:01to help them win, but this was before

16:03both of those games yesterday. It's like

16:05Stafford hadn't been great himself. No,

16:07you know, if you're judging his MVP

16:09legitimacy based last year, based off

16:11how he's played so far this year, the

16:13answer is not an MVP. He's also not a

16:15fantasy starter right now. It means he

16:17got a great match up next week against

16:18Buffalo, but he has not been nearly the

16:20player he was last year.

16:21>> Yeah. By the way, Kron Williams just

16:22continuing to remind us that the shiny

16:24new toy is not always better. Everyone

16:26because Blake Corm's a little younger,

16:28everyone wants him to take more and more

16:29and more because he makes flashy plays

16:31sometimes. Kairen Williams just

16:32unbelievable. And he was like this at

16:34Notre Dame as well. He the only reason

16:35he fell a little bit is because he was

16:37so slow at the combine and that usually

16:39he was in the territory of speed at the

16:40combine that it was like guaranteed bus

16:42territory and he has overcome that. Uh

16:44he's not going to have receiving days

16:45like this. Those are probably career

16:46highs. He's never I don't believe he's

16:48ever had a game like that. Uh but he's

16:50still their primary pass catching

16:51primary third down back. Uh and terrific

16:54on the ground as well as you pointed out

16:55two touchdowns.

16:56>> More targets than Puka who came back and

16:58was awesome in that amazing. I mean Puka

17:00was ridiculous yesterday. And I don't

17:02think Devonte's pedestrian day four for

17:0432 is Hey, Puka's back and all of a

17:07sudden Devonte is relegated.

17:08>> Nine targets. Okay. Agreed. Agreed.

17:11>> Super rainy yesterday in Philadelphia

17:13for a lot of that game. The passing

17:14offenses were not crisp in the first

17:16half.

17:16>> All right. Now, let's talk about Titans

17:18and Ravens. Titans made this one a game,

17:20guys.

17:20>> They did 20. Well, they score with like

17:22a minute 12.

17:23>> They tried really hard at the end, guys.

17:25>> Most weeks and they're starting to hang

17:26in there. I mean, Michael, thank you.

17:28There's progress from the first like

17:30couple. I want to say the first like

17:32even two and a half games, you're like,

17:33"Oh, no." And they just started to be a

17:36more they started to be competent. The

17:38could have, would is sort of the

17:41interesting story of the uh the Titans

17:43first half, I'm sorry, first four games

17:45of this season. Um, I think the only

17:46thing that matters for Tennessee is that

17:49independent of how the team is doing,

17:51Cardinal Tate looks like he's going to

17:52be a heck of a player.

17:54>> He had nine catches for 145 yards

17:57yesterday. Both obviously led the team.

18:00There was a cut up going around on

18:01social media this past week of him just

18:03basically toasting Dbacks left, right,

18:05and center and not getting targets in

18:08those on those plays, but still like a

18:10very talented player. One of those guys

18:12that could continue to rise throughout

18:14the season. and maybe the Titans offense

18:15steadies the ship. We are all on will

18:18Tony Pard get traded watch.

18:20>> What I don't know is that if Tony Pard

18:22gets traded, are we certain that Taj

18:25Spears is going to step into a gigantic

18:27role?

18:28>> I don't think so.

18:28>> Yeah, same. Also, because Taj Spears,

18:31like Tony Pard, going to be a free agent

18:33after this season. Doesn't seem like

18:34Spears is a big part of their future.

18:37>> Struggling to stay on the field, a

18:38committee back. Nick Singleton will

18:39probably get a look. Yeah. So, let's

18:41talk about the Ravens because they're

18:42the far more compelling side of this

18:43game for fantasy purposes. Derrick Henry

18:46does not get

18:47>> to 100 yards and a rushing on one of our

18:50red zone questions yesterday. He did

18:52find the end zone very early. So, he has

18:54yet another day with 15 plus fantasy

18:56points, but Lamar Jackson gets hurt.

18:58Lamar leaves his at halftime. And this

19:00was weird because

19:01>> I don't recall anything happening in the

19:03first half where all of a sudden Lamar

19:05limps off and we're immediately on Lamar

19:07injury watch. At halftime, the Ravens

19:11announced he's questionable to return.

19:13Snoop Huntley plays the rest of the

19:15game. Lamar is reportedly dayto-day.

19:17Adam Shfter had a tweet this morning.

19:19He's going in for an MRI today. We do

19:22not know the extent of this Lamar

19:23injury. Beyond that, we just know that

19:27whether it's Lamar Jackson, whether it's

19:29New Puntley, Zay Flowers is going to

19:31mash again, people, because God, he's

19:33off to a redhot start. Eight for 118

19:36yesterday for Z Flowers. found the end

19:38zone as well. I know we say this about a

19:40lot of athletes. They feel like they're

19:42playing the game at a different speed,

19:43but Z Flowers really feels like he is

19:45playing the game at a different speed.

19:48So, it's the Z show. It's the Derrick

19:49Henry show. And if he is healthy, of

19:51course, Lamar's action show, but

19:53Baltimore kind of a three-man band. Mark

19:55Andrews did find the end zone yesterday.

19:56>> I was going to say, yeah, it's about

19:58time. Although, he got ended up with

19:59what uh 13.7 fantasy points. That's his

20:03best game in his last 11 outings. So,

20:06the ceiling is not what it used to be

20:07for Mark Andrews, but that's how we

20:09chase targets.

20:10>> Yep.

20:10>> Sure do.

20:11>> All right, that was a great segue.

20:13>> That's how we chase targets

20:16>> like Chase Brown.

20:17>> That's right, Daniel.

20:18>> Let's talk about the Jaguars and

20:20Bengals.

20:22>> Uh, unfortunately in this one, I'm going

20:23to start with the big news, which was

20:25Jamar Chase getting hurt. Had a

20:27concussion. Yes, he did. Well, I'm

20:28starting with the first one, field, and

20:30then I'll get to the second one.

20:31>> Missed the second half. Jamar Chase

20:32unfortunately T. Higgins went off in

20:35place of Jamar Chase and then also left

20:37on the final drive with an adductor

20:39injury. Have you ever had an adductor

20:40injury?

20:41>> You know, Daniel, I'm not quite sure

20:42what an adductor is, so I'm going to

20:43guess, but I don't know that for sure.

20:45>> No, Michael, you trip over a duck. Is

20:47that what it is?

20:48>> Uh, that was a huge day for T. Higgins.

20:52Let's just talk about this really

20:53quickly. He was unbelievable without

20:56Jamar Chase. 11 for 157 on 16 targets,

21:00215 airs. field that led all pass

21:03catchers.

21:04>> Sweet. Huge. That's why you had 157

21:08yards. How about the actual yards? Those

21:09were awesome as well.

21:10>> Those were also awesome as well. You

21:12have to be targeted downfield to get

21:14yard totals like this.

21:15>> Uh Chase Brown also does the thing that

21:16Chase Brown does. You know how we just

21:18said um Javvante, not Javante Williams,

21:21who just had 13 targets. Kron Williams

21:23was going to not do that again. Chase

21:24Brown might do this again. 11 catches

21:27for 71 yards on 11 targets. This is in

21:29the bag for what it is that he does.

21:31This is wild. He had more targets and

21:32catches than he had rushing yards.

21:34>> He had nine rushes for 10 yards, but he

21:36got 19.1 fantasy points. We love that.

21:39This is part of the reason why you

21:40drafted Chase Brown as the passcatching

21:41upside.

21:42>> Yeah, I mean, listen, he he will find

21:44his way. He just will by the end of the

21:45year.

21:46>> We never said he was efficient on the

21:47ground. That's not a thing that we ever

21:48promised, but this team does score quite

21:50a bit even though he didn't get in the

21:51end zone. So, you love that from him.

21:53When you're looking at Joe Burrow, 23.7

21:55fantasy points as well. If you decided

21:57to roll with him, then he was really

21:58great. Anything else from this offense

22:00from the Bengals?

22:00>> I don't know. My uh my Raheem Sanders

22:03almost got there. Seven for 82 on nine

22:06targets for Dante Meyers, but did not

22:08find the end zone.

22:09>> Play 90% of snaps.

22:10>> I feel like this year we're putting up

22:11big fantasy points. We are but we're not

22:13getting to the end zone. Raymond, Dante

22:15Myers, we'll talk about waiver picks

22:16tomorrow, but if both right now, like if

22:19if you're in a league that has rolling

22:20waivers, you can grab guys at any time.

22:22>> Yeah,

22:23>> both Dante Meyers and Mike Cassiki

22:25should be on your radar. Gasiki has 12.7

22:28or more fantasy points in three or four

22:29games. Yes, that's because he scored a

22:31touchdown in three or four games, but

22:33he's like 66. Awesome athlete. Like,

22:36yeah, he and he has Joe Burrow as his

22:38quarterback. Touchdowns are more likely

22:40to come from Mike Cassiki than the

22:42average tight end.

22:42>> On the other side with the Jaguars,

22:44Bashel Tuton keeps getting like a ton of

22:46volume. 19 touches. Doesn't this just

22:48feel like the conversation we had on

22:50Thursday or Friday where it was like

22:52it's not really a sell high, it's like a

22:54sell medium.

22:55>> That was it. That was it. 11.1 fantasy

22:57points. He's a huge part of the offense.

22:59He does touch the ball a ton. He's there

23:00clearly. Although Chris Rodriguez was

23:02the one that got the rushing touchdown,

23:03>> you know, on a nice long run. I mean, I

23:05keep pointing this out. It's his He's

23:07very game script dependent. They are

23:09still using four running backs. He

23:11doesn't have much passing game

23:11involvement. Rodriguez is stealing

23:13touchdowns. He if they're in games where

23:15they're more competitive, he's going to

23:17the ceiling's just not going to be

23:18there. And it wasn't there yesterday. He

23:20didn't score. He had a little under 100

23:21yards. So, he ended up how many fantasy

23:22points?

23:23>> 11.1 11.1.

23:25knowing to get. That's one of the

23:27concerns. I don't know if he's going to

23:28get like is he going to be more than

23:30>> Tony Pard? Like I I I don't know like if

23:33the offense they're just going to have

23:34to keep winning and leading and maybe

23:36they will. They're three and one.

23:37They're a good team.

23:38>> Uh I'm just nervous about his ceiling

23:40right now. That's that's my concern. But

23:42he is an okay floor. He's like a fringe

23:44RB2. I just feel like he's a hair

23:46overvalued right now.

23:47>> Brian Thomas Jr., Jacobe Meyers and

23:49Parker Washington almost combined for as

23:51many catches and receptions as Brenton

23:53Strange in this one which was really

23:54great for fantasy managers to trusted

23:56either Jacobe Meyers coming off of a big

23:58week or Parker Washington. I think we'll

24:00talk about him a little little later on

24:02this week because he has started I'm not

24:04sure that he is the elite high-end wide

24:06receiver too that we talked about him as

24:07when you look at his box score over the

24:09last little bit. So we'll uh we'll dive

24:10into

24:10>> games haven't been nearly as good. Uh

24:12just 23 passing attempts for Trevor

24:14Lawrence yesterday. Okay, so that

24:16explains a little bit of it. Uh, the

24:18Jaguars might need to play better teams

24:20for those two top receivers to have to

24:22actually like go off

24:23>> to do some things.

24:24>> Parker did see a lot of DJ Turner for

24:26what it's worth. 57% of his routes. He's

24:28a standout corner, so that could be a

24:30part of it.

24:30>> All right, let's talk about Cardinals

24:32and Giants. Who thought that there was

24:34going to be 60 points scored in this

24:35one? Well, maybe some of us.

24:37>> Yeah. Um, 54 until the last second of

24:39the game, Mike.

24:41>> Yeah, sure was. Uh, let's talk through

24:42some of this. We'll start with the

24:44Giants side since they won the game,

24:46guys. Jameus Winston 250 passing yards

24:48and three touchdowns,

24:50>> but two interceptions and zero rushing

24:51yards. So, this is the full-on Jameus

24:53Winston experience and uh just hard to

24:55see him being a consistent fantasy

24:57option. We're not really worried about

24:58that. But what we are worried about is

25:00what we said the day he was named the

25:02starter, which is can you get the ball

25:04into the hands of your skill guys? He

25:06has done that. Malik Neighbors six for a

25:08buck 12 and a touchdown. He looked

25:10awesome yesterday

25:10>> on seven targets. He did. He went down

25:13early on his shoulder and you're like,

25:14"Uh oh, don't miss Stein." But he was

25:15fine. Obviously had a big game. Also, we

25:17were a little nervous about Isaiah

25:19likely. Yep. Without Jackson Dart. Well,

25:21we don't have to be that worried now. 70

25:22or excuse me, 77 catches be good. Seven

25:25catches for 66 yards on 12 targets in

25:30this game. I posted this on X last

25:32night. Uh Isaiah likely is I believe it

25:35is fifth or if you count Brock Power

25:37Powers, sixth in the NFL in target share

25:39right now. Wow. He is getting just

25:41pummeled with targets like you don't see

25:42from tight ends generally. He's up there

25:44in that tier with your McBride's and

25:46your Brock Bowers. So that's a good

25:48sign. He's certainly a line of block

25:49going forward. Malachi Fields an

25:51impressive touchdown as well, but we're

25:52not starting him for the moment in

25:54fantasy. Just three targets in this

25:55game. Uh quick note on Cam Scataboo. It

25:59is what it's been. You're getting the

26:00rushing volume, not the passing game

26:02work. You need a touchdown. 18 for 58.

26:04One target. He had eight yards. Played

26:0662% of the snaps. not quite enough uh to

26:08be a fantasy star, but it's enough to

26:11consider him for your RB2 slot. I have a

26:13thought.

26:13>> You go first.

26:15>> I feel like he fits into a category

26:17that's pretty large right now, which is

26:19guys that you're starting only because

26:21you have to start them.

26:23>> Wonder if it it will be interesting one

26:24week for us to do the rankings where we

26:26just go until we get to the end of

26:28lineup blocks and we see how many names.

26:30>> I do that every week. That's what I do.

26:32>> I understand that. But I mean like if

26:33you look at it in aggregate, right? like

26:35rather than you giving us the lineup

26:37blocks game by game, it's like you see,

26:39wow, Mike has nine lineup blocks at

26:42running back this week. The number is

26:44hopefully larger than that.

26:45>> Like 18 or so,

26:46>> but hopefully it helps you visualize it

26:48because it just feels like this year has

26:50been, I would say, in some ways defined

26:53by a number of players that we're

26:55sitting here Monday through Friday being

26:57like, well, you don't really want to

26:58start that guy. You might not have a

26:59choice, though. like really running back

27:01so high and then goes like this and then

27:03just kind of levels off to all those

27:04guys. There's like a big tears of of

27:06candidates. So, I hear you. I know what

27:08you're saying.

27:08>> Cam Scataboo seems like a younger, more

27:10exciting version of David Montgomery. I

27:11just want to like put that out there

27:12because if he doesn't get in the end

27:13zone, he's not getting like a lot of

27:14receiving game work like

27:16>> Yeah, I I hear you. I feel like they're

27:18using him a little bit like Derk Henry

27:20when John Harbaugh was in Baltimore in

27:22that way where he's getting all of this

27:23rushing volume. Although, Nier did have

27:25nine carries in this game. So, and did

27:27he score in this one? got a goal line.

27:29You know, he didn't score, but I think

27:30he had a goal.

27:31>> Three fantasy points. Uh because not

27:33much in the passing game right now for

27:34Cam Scaboo.

27:35>> Uh other side, guys. Uh we were we

27:38should have been higher on Michael

27:39Wilson. They paid him for a reason. He's

27:41the real deal. This guy looks awesome.

27:43Seven for 95 on 13 targets in this game.

27:47Uh I believe he's up to 10th or 11th at

27:49wide receiver in fantasy points for the

27:50season after a little bit of a slow

27:52start. He's been great. Trey McBride, 12

27:55targets. That's great. 31 yards. Not as

27:57good, but

27:58>> 12 targets, 31 yards, and two cuss words

28:00from the ref.

28:01>> Yeah. Yes. How about that? Yeah, that's

28:03uh not not great. Uh so, McBride, hoham,

28:06keep firing him up. Uh Marvin I found

28:08the end zone early on in the day, but he

28:10had four targets. So, don't take that

28:12as, oh, he's back. We can start him

28:13again. No, you can't. It's a It's a mess

28:15right now. He's basically their fifth in

28:17line for targets in this offense. found

28:18it very interesting that Adam Shaft

28:20mentioned him as a potential trade

28:22candidate yesterday on

28:23>> I saw he had five names on that on his

28:26listed Adam and three were wide

28:28receivers Jerry Judy Marvin Harrison

28:30Brian Thomas Jr. I was wondering about

28:32Calvin Ridley as well

28:34going to be calling them this week the

28:35Chiefs.

28:36>> The Chiefs. Yeah. Yeah. I was wondering

28:37I I mean get me Jerry Judy to Casey or

28:40or well any really any of those guys

28:42he'll be fantastic. Uh last thing here

28:44guys for me is the backfield. Very

28:47disappointed. uh with

28:48>> your grievances right now.

28:49>> Yeah. Jeremiah Love, 14 carries, 63

28:51yards. He lost eight yards at his lone

28:53target in this game. He was outnapped 34

28:55to 29 by Tyler Algier, who had an

28:57impressive touchdown. I'll give it to

28:59him. It was like 20 yards out. It was a

29:00nice play. Um I will say this, I was

29:03very frustrated with how little Jeremiah

29:04Love was involved in the second half,

29:06but he did pull up earlier on in the in

29:09the half. So,

29:10>> he said fine after the game, but maybe

29:13>> probably was why he was limited. Also,

29:15uh, the coaching staff said that, uh, he

29:18it was like a they weren't going to use

29:20the running back in the passing game at

29:22all down the stretch in comeback mode.

29:23They just wanted to pass block. So,

29:24Tyler Algier was out there to pass

29:25block. But, it's disappointing. We want

29:27to see him utilize a little bit more.

29:28What my the trend I've noticed with Love

29:30is he comes out, he's averaging like

29:31seven yards per carry. Then you check in

29:33and it's down to six yards per carry.

29:35Then it's 5.4 and by the end of the game

29:36it's like 3.9. It's like going the wrong

29:39direction. They have to find a way to

29:40maximize him. And maybe getting involved

29:42in the passing game is how you do that.

29:43But one target is not going to cut it.

29:45He had at least three in the first three

29:47games of the season. So for now, fringe

29:50RB2. I mean, he's in that chair we just

29:52talked about. He that's where he belongs

29:53for the moment.

29:54>> Yeah. I mean, obviously, we all had some

29:55optimism Jeremiah Love. We know Mike

29:57loved him coming into this season.

29:58>> I think he'll get there, but it's not

29:59happening.

30:00>> Yeah. But, you know, like we'll say,

30:01long ways to go this season. Long ways

30:03to go in his career, but this was one of

30:05the arguments against taking him third

30:06overall was that like you paid a

30:08serviceable running back

30:10>> this off season.

30:12>> We'll see. But in Arl Ree or some of the

30:14guys that were sitting there available

30:15at number three would have been pretty

30:16intriguing in Arizona. Let's go to the

30:18Colts and Commandas over in London.

30:20Daniel,

30:20>> Colts and Commandas. That was pretty

30:23good right there.

30:24>> That one wasn't too bad. That's as far

30:25as I'm going to go. Colts win this one

30:2730-13. And it was really mostly just

30:30Jonathan Taylor.

30:30>> What else is new?

30:31>> That's sort of what the Colts offense is

30:33right now. 20 rush attempts, 95 yards,

30:35and two rushing touchdowns. Absolutely

30:38smashed. RB7 on the week so far. There's

30:41not a single pass catcher that we want

30:42in this one. Mike, uh Josh DS, your guy,

30:45ran the most routes of all pass

30:47catchers, but it just turned into only

30:49four targets.

30:49>> Very disappointing. He uh I have a

30:51feeling I might be spinning that wheel

30:52over there this week because Josh is my

30:54wide receiver and that uh

30:55>> I think it's clinch, isn't it?

30:56>> Is it? I don't know.

30:57>> I think it's clinched.

30:58>> I'd like to think so. I'd like to think

30:59so.

31:00>> Think it's clinched.

31:01>> Um I'm also clinching every time I start

31:03Tyler Warren because it is just not what

31:04I thought it was going to be.

31:05>> Clinching or clinching?

31:06>> Clinching. Clenching. Clenching.

31:09>> Yes. Yeah, he might be doing both. We'll

31:11see. Uh, but Tyler Warren, not terrible.

31:13You and I talked about this before the

31:14show. He fits into this conversation of

31:17like he hasn't been bad enough to have

31:19cost you at the position,

31:21>> but he's not done what he was built to

31:23do coming out of the draft.

31:24>> It turns out the delta between Trey

31:25McBride and Brock Bowers and the rest of

31:27the field should have been about eight

31:28rounds, not like four rounds. Those guys

31:31are just aliens.

31:32>> On the other side, anything that you

31:33guys want to talk about because the

31:34offense right now really is just

31:35Jonathan Taylor. I I know that Daniel

31:37Jones got in the end zone as a rusher.

31:39Yeah, terrible.

31:40>> Yeah, we just need more. We need more

31:41from the passing game. That's really the

31:43problem with Warren. I mean, he still

31:44had 9.1 points. He ran 25 routes. He was

31:46right up there with the team leaders.

31:47But when you throw for 143 yards on 34

31:50attempts, it's not going to cut it.

31:51>> An incredible match up.

31:52>> Yeah. Yeah. Great. That's the problem.

31:54So, we need better from Jones.

31:55>> On the other side, Marcus Mariota, one

31:57of our favorite streaming quarterbacks

31:58this week, got hurt very early in the

32:00game, left a concussion. Yeah. Started

32:02great.

32:03>> Killing it. 46 yards passing and a 35 yd

32:05rush, by the way, and four attempts in

32:07one carry. Yeah, I'm so frustated.

32:08>> Almost 100 yards.

32:10>> Not great, unfortunately. And the rest

32:11of the offense kind of suffered from

32:13there on out to be honest. They only

32:14scored 13 fantasy points. Uh Field, can

32:16you tell me how you say the

32:17quarterback's last name?

32:18>> Athen Kyakaminas.

32:20>> Aan Kyakaminas.

32:22>> Okay, great. From Ruckers, right?

32:23>> Ruckers. I probably knew that.

32:25>> Oh, yeah. Of course.

32:26>> First Ruckers quarterback to throw for

32:27at least 3,000 yards since like 2003

32:31last year.

32:32>> Okay. Uh offense didn't look great.

32:34Running backs didn't look great. Nothing

32:35there looked great honestly for the

32:37commander squad. I don't have a big

32:38takeaway from this game, but if there's

32:39no Marcus Mariota and no Jaden Daniels,

32:42most of this offense outside of, you

32:44know, a very good wide receiver is

32:46probably going to be a stay away.

32:47>> Yeah, Terry McLaren obviously missed

32:48this game. He got hurt late in the week.

32:50I think the only thing that I'm keeping

32:51an eye on and I don't really think this

32:53is going to happen. But when you're one

32:56and three and you're really struggling

32:58on offense, is there any chance that

33:00like Austin Eckler might eventually work

33:02his way into the lead back role for this

33:04team? He was far more efficient than

33:06Bill Crosky Merritt who had nine rushes

33:08for 15 yards. Small sample size, but

33:11four carries for 29 yards for Austin

33:13Eckler. I

33:14>> We're just sitting here talking about

33:15all these running backs that stink and

33:16have no value. Maybe Austin Eckler

33:18eventually creeps up the rankings. Not

33:20sure. I buy that.

33:21>> Yeah, I think it might be a three.

33:22Remember, Rashad White's out was out.

33:24So, they'll probably use all three guys

33:26going forward, I would guess. By the

33:27way, Jane Daniels did not go on IR. It's

33:30possible he plays next week. And it's

33:31also, I would say, likely Terry McLaren

33:34plays because he was pushing to play in

33:35this game. They ended up rolling him

33:36out. So, good chance he's back next

33:38week, which is good.

33:38>> Yeah, the Commander is not actually

33:40neither team that played across uh the

33:42seas yesterday, across overseas

33:44yesterday uh is taking their by-week

33:46next week. Let's talk about Jets Bears.

33:49Guys, I owe Tyson Beant an apology.

33:52>> He got the dub.

33:53>> He was good.

33:54>> I mean, yeah.

33:55>> I thought he was good.

33:56>> He was good.

33:56>> I thought he was really good. Yeah,

33:57>> he got the ball in the hands of the guys

33:59who wanted them to as well.

34:00>> Yeah, he also handed the football off to

34:02Kyle Manunga. He made

34:03>> a lot a lot, guys. Let's talk about

34:05that, Michael.

34:06>> Yeah, let's do that. We'll start with uh

34:08the Jets on this one. Uh because I have

34:11a fun fact for all for you here. reason

34:13why that your I know your your DFS uh

34:16lineup was stacked with Jets.

34:18>> You got burned by you got burned by an

34:21>> a historical low volume game here. The

34:23Jets ran 32 offensive plays

34:26>> in this game. I saw it.

34:27>> I look back at the past decade. That is

34:28the second fewest in a game. The only

34:30one lower was the Raiders last year in

34:32week seven when they ran 30. Believe it

34:34was a blowout lost to the Chiefs. So it

34:36was uh

34:36>> the the bad news is that burned you this

34:38week. The good news is that is not going

34:40to happen. Generally on average they're

34:41going to uh average almost they're going

34:43to play uh almost double the amount of

34:45snaps. That's how extreme this was. So

34:47don't get too uh worried about this one.

34:50Obviously there were duds across the

34:51board. Down game from Garrett Wilson

34:54Kenyan Sadique. That one stinks. Four

34:55targets which was actually a good target

34:57share considering but didn't catch any

34:59of them in this game. He did run 12 of

35:0018 route. So

35:01>> four targets was a 27% target share.

35:04That's ridiculous.

35:05>> I know. So it this one is really

35:07unfortunate. It was just the defense

35:09could not stop the opposing running game

35:10as we'll get to in a second. Had that

35:12not happened, you would have gotten

35:13maybe another 15 20 plays uh at least

35:16and could have had a decent fantasy day.

35:17So really unfortunate in the back field

35:19again. This one very inflated by them

35:21running so far. Yep.

35:23>> Yeah, 32 plays. Brilland Allen outnaps

35:25Isaiah Davis 30-2 in this one. He had 67

35:27yards and 16 touches. Davis will play

35:29more if they run a normal amount of

35:31snaps, but either way, we know who the

35:32lead back here is. If Bree uh Bree Hall

35:35remains out, good chance he returns this

35:37week, but we'll keep an eye on that. If

35:38not, Brilen Allen in the flex

35:40conversation. Anything there?

35:42>> Nope.

35:42>> Not much to say after he run 32

35:44offensive snaps.

35:45>> It was really bad.

35:45>> Uh Bearside Tyson Beant, you mentioned

35:48it. 25 of 34, 268 yards, did not throw a

35:50touchdown because he didn't have to.

35:51>> Didn't have to.

35:52>> One interception in the game. He was

35:53fine, but we're not going to use him in

35:54fantasy if he starts again in week five.

35:57Uh but a little bit of a hot hand in the

35:59Chicago backfield here. Manungai, as you

36:01mentioned, 30 carries, 146 yards, two

36:05touchdowns, was not involved in the

36:06passing game. So, I'm still

36:08>> Didn't need to be.

36:09>> He didn't need to be, but

36:10>> I was going to say that.

36:12>> Here's the thing.

36:13>> I love you.

36:13>> He outnapped DeAndre Swift 4832 in this

36:16one.

36:16>> I don't think that's going to sustain.

36:17It's generally been the Swift show. In

36:19this case, they just wanted to keep

36:20running with game script and he was

36:23fumble, too.

36:23>> Yeah, that too. So, I think it'll go

36:25back to the the season reliable veteran

36:27DeAndre Swift. So, not getting too

36:29carried away, especially again because

36:30Manangai does not play a big role uh in

36:32the passing game.

36:34>> Yes.

36:34>> Sorry. I was I thought you were going to

36:36>> I was going to I was ready for it.

36:37>> I am. I'm going to the receivers right

36:38now. So, you were uh right out in front

36:40of that. Roman Dunay 6 for 94 and seven

36:43targets.

36:44>> Luther Burden 63 yards on four catches

36:47on six targets. I said that backwards.

36:48Coulson Loveland 6 for 57 on nine

36:50targets. Got the ball to all three guys.

36:53Nine, six, and seven targets for those

36:54three guys.

36:55>> Quarterback controversy, right guys?

36:57>> No. We like to see it. We like to see

36:59it. Those were fine days. Nothing I just

37:01said is spectacular. I think the one

37:03that gives me

37:04>> uh that is most exciting to me is Roma

37:07Dun finally. Like it saw a good game.

37:09They featured him. He played a lot. Had

37:11the 94 yards and seven targets. It's

37:13good. It makes you feel better about

37:14starting him going forward.

37:15>> Uh and we'll see whether Caleb Williams

37:17is available next week. He hasn't

37:18practiced since that hamstring injury. I

37:20would guess no. The Bears are in Green

37:22Bay against the Packers. And speaking of

37:25the Packers, they improved to two-2, but

37:27I'm not sure I've seen a more depressed

37:29locker room after a win in quite some

37:31time. They beat the Bucks 17 to 14.

37:33Wouldn't say this would qualify as a

37:35pretty one for Green Bay. Uh Chris

37:38Brooks, the running back, got hurt, but

37:39this backfield is just a complete

37:41disaster. Marshon Lloyd with nearly 10

37:43fantasy points, but you want no part of

37:45it. The wide receivers are quiet

37:46yesterday as well. Matthew Golden bailed

37:48out by a short touchdown catch, but

37:50Christian Watson had his first real dud

37:52of the season because Jordan Love

37:54continues to struggle. 197 passing yards

37:58on 30 passing attempts. This passing

37:59offense just looks all out of whack.

38:02Tucker Craft got a touchdown yesterday.

38:04Initially ruled out of bounds. It was

38:07overturned upon replay review. But for

38:10the Packers going into next week against

38:11the Bears, who have been better against

38:14bad competition over the past three

38:15weeks defensively, Craft will of course

38:17be one of our top 10 tight ends and will

38:19still rank Watson as a top 25 wide

38:21receiver. Golden a little bit further

38:23behind there. Yeah, I think they're both

38:25lineup blocks at this point. I mean,

38:26Matthew Golden has a comfortable target

38:28edge on Christian Watson so far. He's

38:30not terribly behind in in fantasy points

38:32anymore either. I mean, he's wheeling

38:33them in because he's a little bit more

38:34consistent in usage. So, obviously

38:36Watson the more explosive of the two. So

38:38yeah, both of those guys belong in

38:40lineups right now. And Tucker Craft

38:42right back right back in the back end

38:43tight end one conversation is as he gets

38:45healthier and healthier. He's going to

38:46be fine and they have no choice but to

38:47throw the ball a lot.

38:48>> Yeah, that backend tight end one

38:49conversation unfortunately starts at

38:51like tight end three, right? I mean

38:52we've got two guys and the rest they're

38:54in a very very different category. Uh

38:56for the Buccaneers, obviously the Jaylen

38:58Daniels stepping in for Baker Mayfield

39:00of it all asks a lot of questions,

39:02right? Can he support any of the pass

39:04catchers? Well, the answer would be if

39:06you like 9.1 fantasy points for the most

39:08amongst your wide receivers and tight

39:10end, then sure. Otherwise, you're

39:12normal. And the answer is no. Mecca

39:14Ibuka yesterday. 3.3 fantasy points. Two

39:18catches, 13 yards. Jeff Darlington

39:20actually mentioned on Fantasy Focus

39:22countdown. He did. Hey, he thinks that

39:23Chris Godwin could be in for a decent

39:25day. The Bucks allowing him to just do

39:27things after the catch. Wasn't a monster

39:29day, but seven targets was a team high.

39:31Six for 31. This offense is going to

39:34really, really struggle for as long as

39:36Jaylen Daniels is the quarterback. And

39:38that might still be the case on Thursday

39:40night when they play the Cowboys, who we

39:41know are still a very, very bad defense.

39:44But Daniels, everything felt like it was

39:46very short, near the line of scrimmage.

39:48Bucky Irving ended up with 16 rushes for

39:5161 yards, zero in the passing game

39:54whatsoever for Bucky. And Mike alerted

39:56us, what happens when you have a more

39:58athletic quarterback? You don't see as

40:00many dump offs. How many rushes for

40:02Jaylen Daniels yesterday?

40:03>> Eight for 55 yards. So,

40:06>> and one more concern for Bucky Irving.

40:09They won.

40:09>> Gainwell.

40:10>> Well, not even that. Gainwell scored a

40:12receiving touchdown, but they decided,

40:14hey, we need to use more Shawn Tucker.

40:15And he scored the rushing touchdown

40:17problem. And it's

40:18>> Irving hard to bench with that rushing

40:20volume. And you have to imagine on

40:22Thursday they're going to try to get him

40:24a couple targets. But

40:26>> this is a tough spot right now. He's

40:27going the wrong direction. Yep. Kenny

40:28Gainwell did find the end zone, but

40:29still not close to our fantasy.

40:32>> Let's move ahead and talk about Dolphins

40:36and Vikings. Guys, we're going to be

40:37pretty quick on this one.

40:38>> Go for it.

40:38>> There was one touchdown that was scored

40:40in this whole game and it was by Ali

40:42Gordon.

40:42>> Here's the thing about Ali Gordon. Nine

40:44carries for 100 yards and a touchdown

40:47and then also had two receptions on two

40:49targets for zero yards.

40:51>> Yeah.

40:52>> I think Ali Gordon is more mirage than

40:54real with the way that he turned that. I

40:55just want to ask you guys when you see

40:57this game cuz he scored 18 fantasy

40:58points. He's going to be RB13 and he

41:00looked pretty good last week once he

41:02took over for Devon. People are going to

41:04have this emotional response to him

41:05looking good against the Vikings. Is

41:07this a sell high moment if you have Ali

41:10Gordon on your spot?

41:10>> Yes, if you can. Absolutely. Han

41:12obviously will miss the full year. So,

41:14it's going to be Ollie Gordon's

41:15opportunity here. But

41:16>> this might be the best game he has all

41:17season.

41:18>> They're the only team, no surprise, that

41:20has not held a lead for a single second

41:22all year. They have been tied or

41:25trailing.

41:25>> Yeah.

41:26>> Every play this year. So Miamiy's game

41:28script is going to be not favorable to

41:30Ali Gordon. The entire offense is a stay

41:32away.

41:33>> Yeah. But if Chris Bell's big toe was a

41:36quarter of an inch smaller.

41:37>> That one hurts, too. Yeah. Look,

41:38>> for those that don't know, he had this

41:40awesome explosive long touchdown, it was

41:42ruled illegal touching because he had

41:44stepped out of bounds just prior to

41:45actually

41:46>> just barely like like by this much. My

41:48fingers are basically touching. By the

41:50way, Jaylen Wright was the starter for

41:52Miami. They gave him a shot and then the

41:54hot hand was Ollie Gordon and he ran

41:55away with it. So, I mean, maybe next

41:57week Jaylen Hurt Jaylen Jaylen Herz has

42:00not been the hot hand right now. Maybe

42:01Jaylen Wright is the hot hand. Uh, and

42:03he's the guy that leads the way, but I

42:04do expect him to try to utilize a

42:06committee going forward. So, I'm with

42:07you. And also,

42:09>> he had two targets and nine carries in

42:11the

42:11>> Yeah, not great. Not like he had heavy

42:13volume by any means.

42:13>> On the other side, there was no Justin

42:15Jefferson in this one. We were looking

42:16at could Kyler look okay against the

42:18Miami Dolphins. The answer is no. No.

42:20>> 11.4 fantasy points. Was not good. Yeah,

42:22you can drop Kyler Murray. I do not

42:24believe he's in the streaming

42:24conversation.

42:25>> Even Malik Willis, two potential sleeper

42:27quarterbacks. Both you can put to sleep

42:29for fantasy. Not going to be your

42:30starter.

42:30>> I saw someone on X post like or the

42:32Twitter

42:34>> on Twitter. Uh are the Vikings going to

42:35be the first 4-0 team ever to fire their

42:38coach?

42:40The offense is so bad. Like they're

42:42they're just hanging on in on these

42:44games right now.

42:44>> How did they win? They scored five field

42:46goals in this one, right? They're back.

42:48The thrill has been

42:48>> That's right. He's unbelievable. TJ

42:50Hawinson actually was great in this one.

42:52Not very many people started him.

42:54>> Uh 13 targets, 13 catches for 119 yards.

42:57>> Could have been 120 yards and a

42:59touchdown. TJ Hawinson at the end of the

43:01game took a knee at the one yard line. A

43:03lot of people were frustrated by that. I

43:05think that might be because the Vikings

43:06have been so bad on offense that it

43:08would have at least felt good to win

43:10this game 22 to 10 as opposed to 15 to

43:1210. But

43:14>> probably the smart play by Hawkins.

43:15Could be something here with Kyler to

43:16Hawinson though. Remember he he kept

43:18Trey McBride busy in Arizona. Maybe

43:21there's something there with Hawinson.

43:22At least something to keep an eye on if

43:23you need tight end help. And by the way,

43:25until Jordan Mason is back, which is

43:27soon Aaron Jones show 20 opportunities.

43:31Apologies if you mentioned that, but

43:32just wanted to

43:34opportunity.

43:35>> I thought he was going to get in the end

43:35zone. 20 rushes for 94 yards against the

43:37Dolphins was less than I had expected

43:39for Aaron Jones.

43:39>> No, no, but he's going to be in or very

43:41close to my top 10 in week five.

43:43>> Yeah. All right, let's move ahead and

43:45talk about the Chiefs and theers.

43:49>> Lot to talk about here. Let's just take

43:51a minute to appreciate the brilliance of

43:52Kenneth Walker the third. How good does

43:54it have to feel if you're Kansas City

43:55where you spend big on one guy this off

43:57season? Yep. And he's been unbelievable.

43:59Walker at 177 rushing yards and two

44:02rushing touchdowns. He's now right there

44:04in that territory of Jir Gibbs and

44:06Bejian Robinson. That's how good he has

44:08been for the Chiefs. Even with just one

44:10target and one catch for two yards

44:12yesterday, he's been so incredibly

44:14efficient running the ball. Other than

44:16that, a lot of question marks surrounded

44:17this Chiefs team. Patrick MS was fine.

44:1917 fantasy points. Totally serviceable.

44:21Uh 225. It was like a very

44:25sporting 225 passing yards, two passing

44:29touchdowns, no rushing yards, no

44:30turnovers, 17 fantasy points for Patrick

44:33Mahomes. So Rashi Rice on his first

44:36target that ended up getting nullified

44:38because of a penalty. Catches a wide

44:39receiver screen. This is early in the

44:40game. You're like, "Let's go. We want

44:42this, right?" Immediately grabs the

44:44hamstring, limps to the sideline, stays

44:46on the sideline for a while, and you're

44:48like, "All right, maybe we avoided a

44:49disaster." Gets becomes questionable.

44:52They come out of the second half, he's

44:53now called doubtful. He eventually or he

44:56never returns, which they never ruled

44:57him out, but he never returns. They're

44:59on a buy next week and some early

45:01reporting suggests it's not significant.

45:02It's more tweaked. That being said, a

45:04gigantic bummer. A guy who was trending

45:06all the way up, gets just zero fantasy

45:08points yesterday. All right. Well,

45:10Taekwon Thornton steps up into a much

45:11bigger role. Best game of his life. Five

45:14catches, 111 yards, two touchdowns, and

45:17just a disgusting and so sad injury to

45:19see. Dislocates his ankle. You knew it

45:21was bad when you see it. He's going to

45:23miss a ton of time for the Chiefs. So,

45:25it's now the Xavier Worthy and Jaylen

45:28Royals. And who else show amongst the

45:30wide receiver?

45:32>> Everyone wanted him to happen in the

45:33preseason. So maybe now he'll get a

45:35chance.

45:35>> So the Chiefs wide receiver room is

45:37incredibly thin. Now if Rashi Rice has a

45:39real chance to play when they come back

45:41for their week their from their week

45:42five buy, I don't think the Chiefs are

45:44going to be doing something dramatic

45:46right now.

45:47>> Oh, need to.

45:47>> But keep an eye on this name who has

45:50already been mentioned and linked to the

45:52Chiefs.

45:52>> Tyreek Hill. Could he be back? And if

45:55you think there's a chance he could come

45:56back and you're interested in beating

45:59him, beating somebody else to waiverss

46:00to get Tyreek Hill, if you either have a

46:03Saint or a Falcon tonight left on your

46:07bench,

46:07>> y

46:08>> or you have that is either not useful to

46:11you or a Travis Han and you haven't

46:13moved that player to injured reserve

46:15yet, you can grab Tyreek Hill right now

46:17if you want. I'm not certain that's

46:19going to be happen any happening anytime

46:21soon, but you can imagine that if it

46:23does happen, there will be a lot of

46:24people hoping that Tyreek Hill can

46:26rediscover some of his form. Is this

46:28what Patrick Mahomes is going to be

46:31>> like 250 and two touchdowns, give or

46:33take, do you guys think on most weeks?

46:34>> Yeah.

46:35>> Like I I know we talk about him as a

46:36potential starter, but I like unless he

46:38has the rushing upside that we saw a

46:40little bit last year. This is what he

46:41has looked like over the last two years

46:44more often than not. And I'm not sure

46:45that the with what KW3 is as the running

46:48back here and now that you see the

46:50pieces he has to throw to, I'm not sure

46:52that Patrick Mahomes is going to

46:54continue to be a top seven quarterback

46:56for us right around.

46:57>> Yeah, once Walker cools down and he'll

46:59come back to Earth to some extent. He's

47:01great, don't get me wrong. Like, but

47:02he's putting up some extreme eight yards

47:04per carry. I mean, like, come on. He's

47:06going to come back to Earth to some

47:07extent. Maybe that leads to more passing

47:08for Mahomes. So, I think it'll be a

47:10little better than this, but yeah. I

47:11mean,

47:12>> whatever. He's fine. He's a starter.

47:13We're fine to start him. Let's talk the

47:15Raiders here for a second. Kirk Cousins

47:16once again solid 22.6 fantasy points,

47:19365 through the air and two passing

47:21touchdowns. There are two players that

47:24really matter for the Raiders in fantasy

47:26football and a third that might be

47:27finding a way to hang around. Ashton

47:29Genty, we had the good conversation late

47:31last week about like the really

47:32inefficient running game and the really,

47:35really, really crafty and well-designed

47:37passing game. Which one of those forces

47:39rules out? The answer on Sunday was the

47:42passing game. Six catches, 68 yards for

47:44Genty on eight targets.

47:46>> That's awesome. Justif

47:49rushing yards on 15 carries. So, under

47:51four yards a pop. He had 18.6 fantasy

47:54points. Mike and I had that board bet

47:56about him being a top 10 running back or

47:58not. Rest of season. Just have to love

48:00the scheme is actually tapping into a

48:03player's awesome strengths. Uh Brock

48:06Bowers, my goodness gracious. Six for 86

48:08and a touchdown yesterday.

48:10>> Yeah,

48:10>> I know we we do this all the time. If

48:12you could reddraft for the rest of the

48:13season, he's probably a top 10 player in

48:15fantasy football because in two weeks he

48:17has absolutely smashed. If you guys had

48:20to pick between he and Trey McBride, I

48:22think it's pretty clear you're taking

48:23Brock Bowers right now because this

48:25offense is just better than Arizona flat

48:26out. Period. These guys are comparable

48:28talents. I'm not sure which one is more

48:30talented. It's very, very close. It's

48:32not a negative Trey McBride thing. It's

48:34more of like Cliff Kubak, Clint Kubak

48:36knows what he is doing with this Raiders

48:38offense, which also included 10 targets

48:40for Michael Mayer yesterday because all

48:41the receivers are hurt. Yeah,

48:43>> Jack Bash got hurt last week. Jaylen

48:44Naylor suffered a concussion yesterday.

48:46This Michael Mayer thing could be real

48:48for next week against New England.

48:49>> Yeah, I uh sometimes you have to adjust

48:51your thinking when you're evaluating

48:53situations like this because oftentimes

48:54you're like think about Andrews and

48:56Likely. It's not like one's a receiver,

48:58one's a tight end. It would didn't

49:00really work that way. Likely would play

49:01more if Andrews was out. Bowers doesn't

49:04affect Mayer. Mayor's their tight end.

49:05Bowers is basically a wide receiver. So,

49:07when you're evaluating usage for these

49:09players, that's how you have to look at

49:10it. And I've had to adjust my thinking

49:11when projecting target shares. I'm

49:14pessimistic. Mayor is going to get

49:15enough consistent usage to be a starter

49:18consistently in fantasy. Uh, but

49:20Bowowers obviously is an elite option.

49:22Okay, we have some news, by the way.

49:23This is perfect timing here. This is

49:25crazy. Adam Shhater just tweeted this

49:27moments ago. developing. Tyreek Hill's

49:30agent, Drew Rosenau, said he plans to

49:32begin negotiating a deal for his veteran

49:34wide receiver with multiple teams today.

49:37One of those teams are the Chiefs who

49:38have maintained contact with Hill. I

49:41would anticipate Tyreek potentially

49:43signing with the team over the next few

49:45days, Rosenhouse said. How about that?

49:47>> Yeah, well timed.

49:48>> Wow.

49:49>> Well timed. Uh

49:51>> so all right, just your first reaction.

49:54Sign, you know, if you have a roster

49:56spot, do it right now. Yeah, I he look

49:58he's 32. I don't know if he's going to

50:00be a consistent fantasy option, but with

50:02this offense and with the opportunity, I

50:04mean, look, how high can he go if Rashi

50:06Rice is healthy? I think he goes number

50:08two. He could be their number two wide

50:10receiver. You still have Travis Kelce.

50:12You're still running it through Walker.

50:13So, I'm a little pessimistic. This is

50:15going to be a guy you feel comfortable

50:16starting each and every week, but should

50:17he be on rosters? Yes, I do think.

50:19>> Walk me through a quick exercise. We've

50:21got these two teams playing tonight.

50:22Yep.

50:23>> Would you drop because you can only drop

50:24players from this team, right? We've got

50:27the running backs. Kendrey Miller, Alvin

50:29Chimera. Would you drop either of those

50:31two guys?

50:31>> Not Chimera. Oh man.

50:33>> Would you drop Devon Val? Probably not.

50:36I wouldn't.

50:36>> No, not Valle. Maybe Kendrick Miller.

50:39Kendra Miller be

50:40>> uh

50:40>> I would keep Dwan Johnson. I would keep

50:42Devon Valle. I would keep Rice or Olive.

50:45I would keep Shuck. Okay. So then on the

50:46other squad that I think that's it for

50:48the Saints, right?

50:48>> Ryan Robinson. Yes. if you've like

50:51policy.

50:52>> If you're not starting Kyle Pitts and

50:53you're just stashing him, that's that's

50:55>> possible.

50:56>> So, there's a handful of names from

50:57tonight's game that you can maybe

50:58consider if you had them on rosters to

51:00try and get ahead of that waiver

51:02conversation that we reiterate. You can

51:04add Hill because he's listed as a free

51:06agent, not

51:08you can just add him without waiting for

51:09waiver.

51:10>> I got an interesting one here. I've got

51:11Kendra Miller and it's the Warhamor

51:13League where it's it's just

51:14redonkulously thin at running back and

51:16my team

51:17>> four of my first eight picks are already

51:20out for the entire season sometimes.

51:22Trust me, it sucks. Y

51:24>> um

51:25>> Kendry Miller, we're getting we we are

51:26down this week. We we need a miracle of

51:28like we need the greatest miracle in

51:29fantasy history.

51:30>> You have to drop him. Like what is the

51:31upside? I'm sorry. I didn't mean to

51:32interrupt you, but what's the upside of

51:34Kendra Miller versus what's the upside

51:35of what Tyreek Hill could maybe be for

51:37Patrick Mahomes?

51:38>> But like here's what it is. is it's like

51:40Kendrick Miller might get you like six

51:43to 10 fantasy points a week. Maybe,

51:45maybe,

51:45>> maybe.

51:46>> And um the running backs that will be

51:48available on waiverss this week are

51:50going to be even worse than that. And

51:51we've been hammered by injuries.

51:55>> It's a tough one. You shoot for upside

51:57or you go for the the floor? That's a

51:58It's an interesting conversation. I

52:00think the answer is probably I I mean if

52:01it's my choice unilaterally and I have a

52:03co-artner I probably will be dropping

52:05Kendrick Miller and adding Tyreek Hill

52:06and just rolling forward

52:07>> shooting for if you know that you've

52:08already dealing with so many injuries

52:09you got to make up some ground somewhere

52:11that means making some tough decisions

52:12by the way really quickly this is

52:14changing back but you had just talked

52:15about Brock Bowers basically being a

52:16wide receiver ran 71% of his snaps out

52:20of a wide receiver spot so um

52:22>> I wonder if Russian see if he's already

52:24been added in this league that'd be very

52:25honest too I didn't see any leagues that

52:28popped out like he's available in our uh

52:30our knockout leagues and some Michelle

52:33or like FFC. He's available, but like

52:35that's a 10 team league. I don't know.

52:36So, nothing popped out to me quickly. I

52:38just wanted to see if I had a real life

52:39example, but I don't.

52:40>> All right, let's talk Chargers and

52:42Seahawks. Sorry, Broncos and 49ers.

52:45We're going to do that instead, guys.

52:46Broncos, 49ers. Mike,

52:47>> this one actually could be kind of

52:48quick. It was kind of hoham for the

52:5049ers. Uh CMC, Debo, KD all found the

52:53end zone. Mike Evans five for 76 on

52:56eight targets. Brock Pery, two

52:57touchdowns and 30 rushing yards. That's

52:59about what you want from the Niners. And

53:01you'll take it against this really good

53:02Denver defense. So, I don't really have

53:04anything else I need to This is clearly

53:07We're clearly at a sell high point for

53:08CMC.

53:10>> Sell high.

53:11>> Okay, hold on.

53:12>> Tell me why. Tell me more.

53:13>> Like, Christian McAffrey has four

53:15touchdowns this year.

53:16>> Okay. First one was a one-yard rushing

53:18touchdown. Second one was a one-yard

53:20rush rushing touchdown. Third one was a

53:21one- yard rushing touchdown. Fourth one

53:23was a one yard one-yard rushing

53:24touchdown. does not have a single carry

53:26over 25 yards this year

53:27>> than last year either

53:28>> and hasn't had a single game over 45

53:31receiving yards this year. They had two

53:32cake games this last two. Like I know

53:34that this one was tough, but like they

53:36had two cake games. He's a touchdown

53:37dependent running back. If he's not

53:39getting in the end zone, he's not

53:40getting the receiving volume that you

53:42guys think that like it's it's this is

53:44what makes him elite is that part

53:46because we already knew he was

53:46inefficient from a rushing perspective.

53:48He's not getting elite CMC rushing uh

53:51receiving volume right now. He's RB9 in

53:53fantasy. When you look at all the other

53:55top 10 running backs, he is ninth out of

53:5810 when it comes to snap percentage

53:59because the 49ers just aren't using him

54:01as much.

54:01>> I think he's still tier two. I mean, he

54:03had he didn't

54:04>> drafted him as a top five.

54:05>> No, I know that. But I mean, what who

54:06you trading him for? Are you going to

54:07get Ken Walker? Sure, do that. But like

54:09>> I would trade him for a wide receiver. I

54:10don't think you could do a running back.

54:11I don't I'm not sure who would do a a

54:13running back for running back.

54:14>> How do you trade?

54:15>> Yeah, for wide receiver stacked at

54:16running back. How do you trade away CMC

54:18for That's kind of where I'm at is I

54:20can't find any I have so few running

54:21backs on all my teams that I'm like,

54:23damn it. still feels like such a good

54:25floor running back.

54:26>> Is there any is there any running back

54:27that you think is either trending up or

54:30is like close to CMC, but you trust that

54:33player more rest of season? Like are you

54:35more

54:38Derk Henry than CMC rest of season?

54:41>> I'm I'm more um

54:43>> Derrick Henry for Kairen Williams.

54:45>> Yes.

54:46>> You prefer Kyron Williams?

54:47>> I would prefer Kyron Williams over CMC

54:48rest of season.

54:49>> Yeah. Okay. Um,

54:53>> give us one of the names.

54:53>> We're gonna get more into this.

54:54>> CMC for Ashton Jensen.

54:56>> I'm thinking about it. I'm thinking

54:58about it.

54:58>> For Javante. CMC.

54:59>> I would do Javante.

55:01>> I think so. I'm not sure about Chuba,

55:02but I think I would do Javvante.

55:04>> I think we Let's save this because I

55:06have an interesting nugget for this

55:07conversation maybe because I think we

55:09need to look at uh he's got bailed out

55:11>> strength to schedule. Uh, we're going to

55:13talk about that I think a little bit

55:14this week because I'm going to drop

55:15something new on this schedule.

55:17>> I can't wait. And notable one from

55:19Macaffrey. So, we'll get to that at some

55:20point, but uh yeah, we have a couple

55:22more games here, so let's get through

55:24Denver here if that's okay.

55:25>> Yeah. Yeah, let's do it.

55:26>> Uh RJ Harvey was a notable here for me.

55:2910 targets, 10 catches, 68 yards. No one

55:32else had 50 receiving yards in the game.

55:34But RJ Harvey just not sustainable. He's

55:36not going to see a number that high and

55:37doesn't get enough in the running game.

55:38But backfield to avoid right now. Jaylen

55:41Wadd found the end zone. You're lucky

55:42because he only had 35 yards. Courtland

55:44Sutton, I don't know what is going on

55:46there, fellas. But six targets, that's

55:48good. But only four yards on one catch.

55:50>> Welcome to Dumpsville.

55:51>> Yeah, Dumpsville for sure. Pat Bryant

55:53got injured in this one. We'll keep an

55:54eye on that one, but it looks like

55:55probably some miss time there

55:56considering he was carded off. Maybe

55:58that helps Sutton get going, but I'm not

56:00confident right now. JK Dobbins, by the

56:03way, just to put a bow on him. 31% of

56:06snaps, 52 total yards. Again, avoiding

56:08that back field.

56:09>> Love that, Michael. Good recap there.

56:11Let's talk Seahawks and Chargers. I say

56:14George KD scored again. What a beast.

56:16>> Yeah. Oh, that touch was great, too.

56:18That was a beautiful

56:19>> touch. I thought you were trying to

56:20Tyreek Hill.

56:20>> I know. I was talking about it, but

56:21sorry. It was sweet.

56:22>> Let's talk about the Seahawks really

56:24quickly. We'll start on that side. JSN

56:27kind of came down to earth a little bit,

56:28guys.

56:28>> So, JSN came down to earth a little bit,

56:30guys.

56:30>> Hi for 76.

56:31>> Sorry, you just mentioned that as well.

56:32I was trying to kill.

56:35>> Um,

56:36>> Mike doesn't think it's why why Mike's

56:37not into comedy.

56:39>> I'm going to get mad about this next

56:40guy. It's like, it's hilarious how JSN

56:42had five catches for 76 yards, which if

56:44you do the math would put him on pace

56:46over the course of a season for 85

56:48catches and like 1300 yards and we're

56:49like, man, that really sucks.

56:51>> Really tough game.

56:52>> I mean, that's what Daniel's doing with

56:53CMC, too. You're like, only 80 yards and

56:5518 opportunities. Man, that's garb.

56:57>> We didn't draft a guy top five to be

56:58RB9. But I hear what you're saying. CMC

57:01or uh JSN was is going to be amazing.

57:04Only six targets in this one.

57:06>> What are you gonna say? Yeah, Rashichi,

57:07he found the end zone. Honestly, what

57:09happened was

57:10what I had been advocating for the

57:12entirety of the off seasonason in

57:14Jadarian Price was the role of the

57:16running back for the Seattle Seahawks

57:18and it finally materialized. It just was

57:20with Emanuel Wilson this week.

57:22>> Yeah,

57:22>> but this is what I was saying.

57:24>> We talked about this last week.

57:25>> This is what it was for volume in this

57:26offense.

57:27>> And if there could have been one guy to

57:29be the guy as the lead back without Zack

57:31Sharbon, I assumed it was going to be

57:32the first round pick, not one of these

57:33guys. But Emanuel Wilson absolutely

57:36smashed 21 for 81 rushing yards and a

57:39touchdown plus 3 for 39 and a receiving

57:42touchdown as well. Guys, he looked

57:43fantastic.

57:44>> I started him last week in a league

57:45where I lost H and I subbed him in

57:46because that team every player I have is

57:48hurt much like your FFC team. Yes. And I

57:50had a huge week. I you know

57:53>> the lead back like the lead ball carry

57:54with what he's had recently. All you

57:56need is a couple targets. We talked

57:57about this on this show last week and

57:59you can put together a huge fantasy game

58:01just cuz the Seattle offense runs

58:02through that uh game much like you

58:04thought with what would be the case with

58:05Price if he lived up to expectations.

58:07>> Just missed the player.

58:08>> Uh good for Emanuel Wilson though.

58:09>> Yeah, he looked fantastic in this one.

58:11We'll keep rolling with him until we

58:12hear otherwise on some of these other

58:13guys. Let's talk about the other side

58:15though. How many Chargers are we

58:16legitimately still in on after this

58:18week?

58:18>> None. I mean Lad Mani left early with a

58:21foot injury. Let's say that. So he he

58:22unfortunately got banged up. Justin

58:24Herbert droppable. You don't need to

58:26even have him on your roster anymore.

58:27>> Correct.

58:29>> Omari Hampton can finish his RB20. He

58:32going to stay probably where we had him

58:33this week. Maybe in that like flex

58:34conversation. RB20 to 25.

58:36>> Most snaps out of his own on his own

58:37team.

58:38>> Yeah.

58:38>> Two targets though. Hey progress. Sweet.

58:40>> He's I think he's still clearly the most

58:42talented out of everyone. Although

58:43Keaton Mitchell clearly looks talented

58:45when he's on the field. But

58:46>> carried him.

58:47>> But I don't want to start anyone else. I

58:48don't want Ronnie Gon. I don't want any

58:49of the pass catchers.

58:50>> I texted you guys last night uh looking

58:52ahead to Chargers Broncos next week. I

58:54think there's zero lineup blocks in that

58:56game, which is hard to believe.

58:57>> That's insane.

58:58>> Broncos Chargers lineup blocks.

59:01>> I think I'm going to go buy a Justin

59:02Herbert jersey and hang it up at my

59:04house next to my Anthony Richardson

59:05jersey.

59:06>> Field,

59:07>> let's not go that far.

59:08>> Oh,

59:09>> that's not your

59:11>> Come on now.

59:12>> Richardson at least had that one week

59:13where he was

59:14>> Come on now.

59:15>> Yeah, man. Yeah, it's a good point.

59:17Richardson did have a game, one or two

59:20good games.

59:20>> Let's move ahead. We'll keep we'll keep

59:22watching this lad makanki injury as

59:24well, but maybe something to just keep

59:25in mind. We had

59:26>> last one

59:27>> way down the list. Uh yeah, last one.

59:28Lions and Panthers field's going to take

59:30over.

59:31>> Oh, Daniel, I am sorry. If you started

59:32Tedo McMillan last night, you probably

59:34won your fantasy matchup as the good

59:36news is when you face off against the

59:38Lions defense. Literally anything can

59:40happen. How about this for

59:41>> T-Mac?

59:42>> 45.2 fantasy points. 14 catches for 192

59:46yards and two touchdowns. He had nine

59:48for 147 in the first half, kept it up in

59:52the second half. I mean, this Lions

59:53defense is making the Cowboys defense of

59:56last year look good. I'm sorry, Daniel.

59:57>> No, don't be sorry. I

59:58>> They are second in the NFL in sacks and

1:00:00that's all they do well. Everything else

1:00:01is just getting bloodleted by opposing

1:00:04offenses. So, T-Mac absolutely

1:00:06dominates. Tuba Hubard ridiculous. He

1:00:09was the best running back in terms of

1:00:10fantasy points last night in this game.

1:00:1125.9.

1:00:13>> By the way, that was on the ground like

1:00:15the lines in the path.

1:00:17Yeah. A lot of times they've been decent

1:00:18against running backs on the ground. He

1:00:19crushed the line.

1:00:20>> He crushed it. Bryce Young had 21.5

1:00:22fantasy points, but he absolutely had

1:00:24his way. He had 329 passing yards. I

1:00:28think maybe the most intriguing way for

1:00:29Wire added this upcoming week

1:00:31>> is Jacobe Brassette. They play against

1:00:33the Lions next week. We are talking

1:00:35about quarterbacks, wide receivers,

1:00:37running backs, even tight ends in an

1:00:39entirely different light when they play

1:00:41the Lions. I'm sorry. It just it pains

1:00:42me for you, Dan, because this defense is

1:00:44just so bad and I don't know where the

1:00:45answers come from. There is a chance we

1:00:47unlock Marvin Harrison Jr. for fantasy

1:00:49management.

1:00:49>> He might even be good next week. Wow.

1:00:51Correct.

1:00:51>> Um for the Lions like everything else is

1:00:53like

1:00:54>> it was pretty chalky to be honest. I'm

1:00:56kind

1:00:56>> of disappoint eight for seven came

1:00:58through.

1:00:58>> Yeah, that's right. We'll talk about

1:00:59that in a second. Uh Jamir Gibbs had

1:01:0117.7 when that's like an awful week. It

1:01:03tells you how ridiculous the player is.

1:01:05Same thing with with Aman RA. He had

1:01:07only eight catches for only 75 yards. It

1:01:09feels like the JSN conversation of a

1:01:11moment ago. You're like, "Really, dude?"

1:01:12Yeah. Sorry. Every once in a while,

1:01:14Superman only wears his cape partially.

1:01:16Uh but Sam Leaport had a huge night last

1:01:18night. He had eight for 84 on 13 targets

1:01:21with a pair of touchdown. Oh, eight

1:01:22touchdown, excuse me. And Jameson

1:01:24Williams finally JMO.

1:01:25>> There we go.

1:01:26>> They seem to make an effort, asserted

1:01:28effort for him early in the game. Six

1:01:31for 102 for JO. Had a long catch for

1:01:34nearly 50 yards last night. You got to

1:01:36just ride that wave, baby. Ride that

1:01:38wave with Jameson Williams. But uh 412

1:01:40passing yards for Jared Goff. We

1:01:42mentioned both starting corners going

1:01:44down for the Panthers this week. Opened

1:01:47up the window for Jared Goff to have a

1:01:48big day. Both quarterbacks up over 20

1:01:51fantasy points. Bryce Young had the

1:01:53fewest fantasy points of any quarterback

1:01:55against the Lions in a game this season.

1:01:57Still at 21.5. He's a top six

1:02:00quarterback

1:02:01>> going into Monday Night Football.

1:02:03>> And he was the worst quarterback in any

1:02:05game against the Lions so far this

1:02:07season.

1:02:07>> That is wild. By the way, Lions, if you

1:02:09want to win games on your last like two

1:02:11or three series, maybe use Jir Gibbs one

1:02:13time, maybe give them one touch in the

1:02:14game. They didn't and they lost. So,

1:02:16>> some curious things late in the game for

1:02:18>> that was surprising.

1:02:18>> Didn't feel great. Let's dive into

1:02:19Monday Night Football here really

1:02:20quickly, guys. Atlanta Falcons taking on

1:02:22the New Orleans Saints.

1:02:24>> I think for Atlanta, it's pretty clear.

1:02:25It's like, will Kyle Pittz ever get

1:02:27going?

1:02:28>> Yes, we've saw Okay, so now Bjon is

1:02:30back. Yeah. And we saw Drake London be

1:02:31unlocked with Michael Pix, Michael

1:02:33Pennix, which we had talked about. It's

1:02:34just does Kyle Pittz hold value still

1:02:36still for us at the tight end spot?

1:02:38Yeah, Saint side. I'm just watching the

1:02:39running backs. I want to see what they

1:02:40do because Achan is on IR. So, he's out

1:02:43at least four games. So, we have to see

1:02:45if one of these guys can separate just

1:02:46enough to be flexorthy. Maybe RB2

1:02:49worthy. I think that Alvin Camar is most

1:02:51likely, but there's going to be a lot of

1:02:53other Kendry Miller, CJ Donaldson. So,

1:02:55that's what I'm watching here.

1:02:56>> Yep.

1:02:56>> Who you taking in this one, guys?

1:02:58>> Uh, I am taking Oh, yeah. The Saints, of

1:03:00course. Yeah,

1:03:01>> Saints. The game is in New Orleans. This

1:03:02is the 20 year anniversary of Kaker and

1:03:05I am taking the

1:03:06>> I'm a dummy. I don't know. I just fell

1:03:08against Spicy.

1:03:09>> I like it. I like it. I'm taking the

1:03:11Saints as well.

1:03:12>> By the way, the showdown of the night

1:03:13feels Mike where you're up two points, I

1:03:17believe, in the FFC on

1:03:18>> between. It's like two and a half or

1:03:20something.

1:03:20>> Yeah, you're up like two and a half. I

1:03:21have Drake London. You have Chris Ave.

1:03:23So,

1:03:24>> this is a good one. That's coin flippy

1:03:26right there. Yeah. Both of us with the

1:03:28win would improve to three and one week.

1:03:30So, that's a big one.

1:03:31>> Have fun watching Monday Night Football

1:03:32tonight. We'll be back tomorrow diving

1:03:34into the week five waiver targets, our

1:03:36start of the weeks and all of that from

1:03:38Field and Mike. My name is Daniel. Don't

1:03:40forget to love each other and be kind to

1:03:41yourself. You deserve it. We love you

1:03:43guys. We'll see you tomorrow.

1:03:45Fantasy.

1:03:46>> You're in the 060.

1:03:49Focus.

1:03:51Fantasy.

1:03:54Fantasy. Focus.

1:04:19Hey,
