Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow, everybody, Welcome to another edition of the NFL Fantasy
- 0:13Speaker 1: Football Show. It's Me Your Man, MG. Marcus Grand joined
- 0:16Speaker 1: by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. Welcome to Week seven.
- 0:21Speaker 1: The season's kind of flying by Florio.
- 0:23Speaker 2: Yeah, it's after this week.
- 0:25Speaker 3: We are halfway through the fantasy regular season, which is
- 0:28Speaker 3: a reminder that there's a lot of time lift, but
- 0:30Speaker 3: also that it is just flying by.
- 0:32Speaker 1: It is flying by. And also LaQuan that we have
- 0:35Speaker 1: a bye week in week fourteen when everybody's trying to
- 0:38Speaker 1: you know, scramble and make the playoffs. Because you know,
- 0:41Speaker 1: why did they do this to us? Why we know,
- 0:43Speaker 1: Roger Goodell, you are an avid watcher of this show,
- 0:45Speaker 1: So why Roger, like help us out.
- 0:48Speaker 4: He has to be in some fantasy leagues to feel
- 0:50Speaker 4: this pain, man, Like he has to have a roster
- 0:53Speaker 4: d Come.
- 0:53Speaker 1: On, could you imagine, like you know, we get like
- 0:56Speaker 1: a DM or an email from Roger Goodell like, hey,
- 0:58Speaker 1: so I lost CD LAMB for the last couple of weeks,
- 1:00Speaker 1: Like that, do I pick up Ryan Flurinoy? Like what
- 1:03Speaker 1: do I do? Like I would click on out and
- 1:06Speaker 1: frame it if I got anything like that from Roger
- 1:10Speaker 1: we got a lot to go through on the show today,
- 1:11Speaker 1: We're gonna give you some starts and sins for week seven.
- 1:13Speaker 1: Will also dive into some running backs with tough matchups,
- 1:17Speaker 1: plus our bold predictions for the weekend. But we will
- 1:20Speaker 1: start with the starts and the sins. Of course, Michael
- 1:23Speaker 1: Iflorio writes them every week. You can find them at
- 1:26Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash starts sit. We will start at
- 1:28Speaker 1: the quarterback position, because why not. So who are your
- 1:31Speaker 1: starts and sits for this week?
- 1:32Speaker 3: Drake May I think has reached must start status, but
- 1:35Speaker 3: I still get questions sometimes like oh do iys play
- 1:37Speaker 3: Drake May or you play Drake May Jared Goff. I
- 1:40Speaker 3: think that could be the highest scoring game of the
- 1:42Speaker 3: week because on the other side, you got Baker Mayfield
- 1:44Speaker 3: in the Bucks who have struggled against the defending the pass,
- 1:48Speaker 3: and then the line secondary.
- 1:49Speaker 2: Is extremely depleted.
- 1:50Speaker 3: This week, justin Field's resurgence game I think is on tap.
- 1:54Speaker 3: He's been under pressure by far the highest rate in
- 1:56Speaker 3: the NFL. The Panthers generate pressure at the lowest rate.
- 2:00Speaker 3: Bo Nicks to me is in play and a bounce
- 2:03Speaker 3: back week I think against the Giants, just a much
- 2:05Speaker 3: better matchup. And then Jordan Love not only a good matchup,
- 2:08Speaker 3: the Cardinals don't generate pressure and Love is one of
- 2:11Speaker 3: the best quarterbacks this season from a clean pocket. And
- 2:13Speaker 3: then the Sis Jackson Dart I promise you, I'm very
- 2:16Speaker 3: excited for him, but he gets the Denver Broncos this week,
- 2:19Speaker 3: so I think that's a week to get away. Kyler
- 2:22Speaker 3: Murray's back at practice looking like he's gonna play this week,
- 2:24Speaker 3: but tough matchup against the Packers, and Jacoby Brissett had
- 2:28Speaker 3: more passing yards than Kyle Murray's had in three years.
- 2:31Speaker 2: CJ.
- 2:32Speaker 3: Stroud I think coming off as two best fantasy games
- 2:35Speaker 3: in a year, but the Seahawks secondary has been tough
- 2:37Speaker 3: outside of the game against the Bucks. And then Tua
- 2:40Speaker 3: I already didn't like him in this matchup. Now we're
- 2:42Speaker 3: hearing it's gonna be like a million.
- 2:44Speaker 2: Mile probably wins.
- 2:45Speaker 3: And then Carson Wentz or JJ whichever, it looks like
- 2:49Speaker 3: it's gonna be Wentz. But yeah, they get the Eagles,
- 2:51Speaker 3: and the Vikings quarterbacks have had two good games this
- 2:54Speaker 3: year and they both came and catch up.
- 2:56Speaker 1: Yeah, so basically Vikings QB is sort of out of
- 2:58Speaker 1: the mix at this point, but staying in the stay
- 3:03Speaker 1: in the ANFC North.
- 3:05Speaker 2: I didn't realize it's a revenge game.
- 3:06Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, went.
- 3:09Speaker 4: Im walk past that stadium and that statue Nick Foles.
- 3:13Speaker 1: Yeah wow, it's wild.
- 3:15Speaker 2: Stay the NFC North.
- 3:16Speaker 1: Let's talk about Jordan Love Lakwan. He's one of those
- 3:20Speaker 1: guys that really is kind of a matchup based starter,
- 3:22Speaker 1: Like he does a good job for the Packers. He's
- 3:25Speaker 1: not a guy that you can start every week in fantasy.
- 3:28Speaker 1: But you're feeling Jordan Law. Are you feeling the love
- 3:30Speaker 1: this week against the Cardinals.
- 3:32Speaker 4: I'm feeling the love this week because you spoke about
- 3:35Speaker 4: some of those weeks where it's hard to get him
- 3:37Speaker 4: in starting lineups, very nasty floors or expectations are not
- 3:40Speaker 4: being made. But last week we saw Jordan Love going downfield,
- 3:43Speaker 4: connecting with a lot of his wide receivers on downfield throws. Now,
- 3:47Speaker 4: when we look at the matchup against the Cardinals, they're
- 3:50Speaker 4: allowing the fourth most completions to wide receivers on downfield throws.
- 3:53Speaker 4: So I think this connection will continue with Jordan Love
- 3:57Speaker 4: connecting with the Golden connecting with Romeo Dobbs. So I
- 4:00Speaker 4: do think this is a great matchup to get Jordan
- 4:02Speaker 4: Love in. If you're in the pinch at the quarterback position.
- 4:05Speaker 1: FLURYA, I'm going to ask you an impossible question right now,
- 4:08Speaker 1: and I'm gonna skip ahead because maybe maybe I'm spoiling
- 4:11Speaker 1: something I appear not to be. You have to pick
- 4:13Speaker 1: a Packers receiver, who would it be?
- 4:16Speaker 3: I think it's Matthew Golden because he's getting used a
- 4:19Speaker 3: little bit more and getting used downfield. Although I will
- 4:22Speaker 3: say Romeo Dops had nine targets last week, he does
- 4:24Speaker 3: not leave the field. To me, I know, we're always
- 4:28Speaker 3: like the Packers have too many guys. I think their
- 4:30Speaker 3: receiver room, at least as of now, is those two.
- 4:32Speaker 3: Like you don't consider D'antavian Wicks. Jaden Reed's been out,
- 4:36Speaker 3: Christian Watson's been out, So for right now, it's just
- 4:39Speaker 3: those two. I think it gets a lot harder in
- 4:41Speaker 3: the coming weeks.
- 4:42Speaker 1: Though. That makes me feel better because on Fantasy Live,
- 4:44Speaker 1: I was pumping up Matthew Golden for this weekend, So
- 4:47Speaker 1: let's see if that happens. On the side of things, obviously,
- 4:51Speaker 1: we have all been big on Jackson Dart. You guys
- 4:53Speaker 1: laughed at me when I tried to say that dartaboo
- 4:56Speaker 1: should become a thing, Tom Darta boo like Darta bou
- 5:01Speaker 1: should be the dark was the thing. Jimmy Checks came
- 5:04Speaker 1: up with an alternate that I also sort of like,
- 5:06Speaker 1: scatter Jacks. Okay, I like that one better. Okay, I
- 5:11Speaker 1: like that one better.
- 5:11Speaker 2: Darted to rock with that. It's better, I think.
- 5:15Speaker 1: But Jimmy's dartable also sounds like a Pokemon, so I
- 5:18Speaker 1: don't know exactly, so scatter jacks all right? Anyway. Jackson
- 5:23Speaker 1: Dart mcquaddy has been very good for Fancy the last
- 5:26Speaker 1: couple of weeks, but this week's it's the Broncos. Would
- 5:29Speaker 1: you dare throw him in a lineup?
- 5:32Speaker 4: No, if you're in a pinch at the quarterback position,
- 5:34Speaker 4: I'm sorry, it's gonna be darkest. It's gonna be wicked
- 5:36Speaker 4: this week, man. I mean, Jackson Dart may not have
- 5:39Speaker 4: the negative ten yards that Justin Fields faced last week,
- 5:41Speaker 4: but we have yet to see that strong performance at
- 5:44Speaker 4: him as a passer. So if he's going to be
- 5:46Speaker 4: locked down in the rushing area and we haven't seen
- 5:48Speaker 4: him really go out there and sling that ball around,
- 5:51Speaker 4: and it's without Elak neighbors that folks need to remember,
- 5:54Speaker 4: so I wouldn't be trying to put Jackson Dart in
- 5:56Speaker 4: my starting lineups.
- 5:57Speaker 1: This is where you.
- 5:58Speaker 4: Hit the waiver wire and get yourself at Trevor mid
- 6:00Speaker 4: Lawrence or if Jordan Love is out there in a
- 6:03Speaker 4: good matchup this week. I do think there should be
- 6:05Speaker 4: other options that you should be able to gain your
- 6:07Speaker 4: starting lineups this week. But Jackson Dart is going to
- 6:09Speaker 4: be looking at an uphill bill to put up some
- 6:11Speaker 4: fantasy points this week.
- 6:12Speaker 1: I mean, the good news is if you have Jackson Dart,
- 6:14Speaker 1: you obviously have other quarterbacks right because people weren't drafting Dart.
- 6:19Speaker 1: They picked him up off the waiver wire. He was
- 6:20Speaker 1: a nice plug in, So you should have another option
- 6:25Speaker 1: to get away from Jackson Dart coming up this week.
- 6:28Speaker 1: U's move over to the running backs for your starts
- 6:30Speaker 1: and says who do you like? Who do you not like?
- 6:32Speaker 2: What was the one that Kimmy came up with?
- 6:34Speaker 1: Scat of jacks So gatta you could use you.
- 6:37Speaker 3: Can't use the Jackson? You could play Cam Scattaboo. He
- 6:40Speaker 3: just gets so much volume, whether they're trailing or winning.
- 6:43Speaker 3: He is like their go to piece on offense, Breece Hall. Look,
- 6:46Speaker 3: the Panthers are not what they used to be against
- 6:49Speaker 3: the run, but I think Breece Hall's volume keeps him
- 6:51Speaker 3: in play. Especially, I think he gets a lot of
- 6:54Speaker 3: targets this week. With Garrett Wilson banged up. Alvin Kamara
- 6:57Speaker 3: has not lived up to expectations, but he is a
- 7:00Speaker 3: really good matchup this week against the Bears. Fin Shawn
- 7:03Speaker 3: Jenkins is going to bounce back any big way. Not
- 7:05Speaker 3: only is this one of the best matchups for a
- 7:07Speaker 3: running back, but bad weather probably keeps that game close
- 7:10Speaker 3: and probably leads to a ton of running. Ramandre Stevenson
- 7:14Speaker 3: Trayveon should be on the starts as well, because I
- 7:16Speaker 3: think both of them are in play for deeper leagues
- 7:19Speaker 3: and stuff like. I'll talk about it when we get
- 7:21Speaker 3: into that. Zach Sharboney and Kenneth Walker sits for me.
- 7:25Speaker 3: Tony Pollard I have as a sit. Spears is eating
- 7:28Speaker 3: into his work and the Patriots don't get enough credit
- 7:31Speaker 3: for being elite against the run. Chase Brown, Nick Chubb,
- 7:34Speaker 3: I have, Woody Mark says a sit just backfields that
- 7:36Speaker 3: are in tough matchups where there's numerous guys and the
- 7:41Speaker 3: work hasn't.
- 7:41Speaker 2: Been consistent week to week.
- 7:43Speaker 1: Yeah, just Chase Brown has been such a disappointment. You
- 7:46Speaker 1: mentioned Alvin Kamara not living up to expectations. I was like,
- 7:50Speaker 1: he's kind of living up to mine because I had
- 7:51Speaker 1: low expectations me too.
- 7:53Speaker 4: Him nowhere because ADP was exactly where it needs to
- 7:57Speaker 4: be in the summer.
- 7:57Speaker 1: Let's just say that. Yeah, Yeah, I think he's he's
- 8:00Speaker 1: sort of doing sadly what we all thought he was
- 8:02Speaker 1: going to do this year. All right, lakwan, I'm gonna
- 8:06Speaker 1: sound like a broken record. Is this finally the Trevion
- 8:09Speaker 1: Henderson week against the Tennessee Titans.
- 8:13Speaker 4: Absolutely not, Because I told you last show I'm turning heel,
- 8:16Speaker 4: I'm rooming for Ramondre Stevenson. The Fantas Streets are not
- 8:20Speaker 4: big fans of Ramondre Stevenson because he keeps he's not good,
- 8:23Speaker 4: keeps killing the opportunities. Yeah, he hasn't been good. I
- 8:26Speaker 4: get that, but neither has Trevion Henderson. He hasn't been
- 8:29Speaker 4: the guy to really pull away from this backfield to
- 8:31Speaker 4: run away with the job. He hasn't earned that yet.
- 8:33Speaker 4: So no, it's not Travion Henderson Week. Ramondre Stevenson has
- 8:37Speaker 4: a better matchup this week and has opportunity to improve
- 8:41Speaker 4: in certain areas like that yards for carry, where the
- 8:43Speaker 4: Titans are allowed on four point five yards for carry.
- 8:46Speaker 4: This Titans defense is bottom of the table when it
- 8:48Speaker 4: comes to stopping the run. So I think this really
- 8:50Speaker 4: sets him up, Stevenson, I'm talking about to be the
- 8:53Speaker 4: guy that you can have in your starting lineups, that
- 8:55Speaker 4: you can rely on this week. For Travion Henderson, He'll
- 8:58Speaker 4: be collecting dust on a lot of fais Nacy manager's
- 9:00Speaker 4: benches for the next couple of weeks.
- 9:03Speaker 1: Just I feel like with steven said, you just have
- 9:04Speaker 1: to budget that minus two points in there.
- 9:07Speaker 3: Yeah, and last week was the third worst yards per
- 9:09Speaker 3: carry anyone has had all season. Like he's not playing,
- 9:13Speaker 3: and I think I think what's getting overlooked is that
- 9:17Speaker 3: the touches were very close last Like, Stevenson had more snaps,
- 9:21Speaker 3: but thirteen carries to Henderson's nine. Henderson had two targets
- 9:25Speaker 3: to Stevenson's one. So like and to me, Henderson, I
- 9:31Speaker 3: was talking about this on another show. The Titans are
- 9:33Speaker 3: awful against the run. The Patriots should be up numerous
- 9:36Speaker 3: scores in this game. That is an opportunity where you
- 9:38Speaker 3: could start to feed your young back. And I keep
- 9:41Speaker 3: saying it like eventually he is going to break a
- 9:44Speaker 3: long run, and once he does, I don't think you
- 9:46Speaker 3: could put the genie back in the bottle. This is
- 9:48Speaker 3: again it's in the article Last Chance in Big Bull
- 9:51Speaker 3: letters because their schedule gets harder after this. But like
- 9:53Speaker 3: I have a league where I lost James Connor, Malik Nighbors,
- 9:56Speaker 3: and Mecha Abuka Josh Downs, I'm flexing Trevion Henderson this
- 10:00Speaker 3: and hoping that he hits the home run.
- 10:02Speaker 1: On the side of things, Florio is not big on
- 10:05Speaker 1: any of the running backs in that Monday night matchup
- 10:08Speaker 1: between the Texans and the Seattle Seahawks. I'll get to
- 10:16Speaker 1: the Seahawks part of the things a little bit later on,
- 10:18Speaker 1: but at this point with the Texans backfield, look on.
- 10:20Speaker 1: I know they had to buy last week, but are
- 10:23Speaker 1: we in or out on Nick Chubb, Woody Marks for now?
- 10:27Speaker 4: Listen, I'm out because I don't think I can trust
- 10:30Speaker 4: the Texans right now when it comes to that running
- 10:32Speaker 4: back rotation. I mean, we all had Woody Marx as
- 10:35Speaker 4: a huge performer against that Ravens defense, and he went
- 10:38Speaker 4: out there egg in our face. Right, But again, this
- 10:40Speaker 4: should be already taken from an organization that kind of
- 10:44Speaker 4: played the up and down game of not knowing when
- 10:46Speaker 4: we will get Joe Mixon back. So we can't trust
- 10:49Speaker 4: this backfield whatsoever because I'm not going to be putting
- 10:52Speaker 4: any of these guys in my starting lineups banking for
- 10:55Speaker 4: them to come and give that return to help me
- 10:57Speaker 4: win my week when we came to figure out the
- 10:59Speaker 4: running back split and who's going to do damage where.
- 11:01Speaker 4: So I'm kind of turned off from the whole situation.
- 11:04Speaker 3: I will say, I think right now is you got
- 11:06Speaker 3: like three days left to go or two days left
- 11:09Speaker 3: to go? Trade for Woody Marks because we might see
- 11:11Speaker 3: that post by But I'm not starting him. But I
- 11:14Speaker 3: do think he is someone that you want on your
- 11:16Speaker 3: team for the second half of the season.
- 11:18Speaker 1: I also think, and we said this a couple of
- 11:19Speaker 1: weeks ago on the show, and you can probably move
- 11:21Speaker 1: on from Joe Mixon.
- 11:22Speaker 2: I just yeah, he's on a milk cart.
- 11:24Speaker 1: I just don't see it.
- 11:25Speaker 2: I don't see him.
- 11:26Speaker 1: I don't see him suiting up this year. At this point.
- 11:29Speaker 1: There's no there's no even inkling that he's coming back
- 11:32Speaker 1: and getting ready to come back and play, So I
- 11:34Speaker 1: think you can.
- 11:34Speaker 4: I mean, with the amount of injuries we've been faced,
- 11:36Speaker 4: and I kind of had to force him off my
- 11:38Speaker 4: IR situation where I needed more IR spark spots. So yeah,
- 11:42Speaker 4: Joe Mixon's on the wire somewhere.
- 11:43Speaker 2: I think we've reached that point.
- 11:45Speaker 1: That's always.
- 11:45Speaker 2: I still have him.
- 11:46Speaker 1: I have an IR space and like I don't have
- 11:48Speaker 1: any I mean, it's just it's just him just chilling
- 11:50Speaker 1: by himself, you know, playing solitaire, drinking lukewarm tea. That's
- 11:54Speaker 1: I don't know what's going on. Anyway. Let's give into
- 11:57Speaker 1: some of the weekend game pre if you specifically Sunday
- 12:01Speaker 1: Night football. The Atlanta Falcons head to the Bay Area
- 12:03Speaker 1: to take on the San Francisco forty nine Ers. We've
- 12:06Speaker 1: got our first touchdown odds for that game between the
- 12:09Speaker 1: Falcons and the Niners, and I no surprise, the names
- 12:14Speaker 1: at the top Christian McCaffrey, Bejhon Robinson the top two
- 12:17Speaker 1: guys there, but then a couple more Falcons, Drake London,
- 12:20Speaker 1: Tyler al Jear, and then Ricky Piersall, who hopefully is
- 12:24Speaker 1: healthy and back ready to go. For a Niners team that,
- 12:27Speaker 1: you know, much like the preseason, probably one more injury
- 12:30Speaker 1: away from just you know, having a sweepstakes to have
- 12:32Speaker 1: fans come and run some routes for them. That's just
- 12:35Speaker 1: kind of how things have been of that group there. Lakwan,
- 12:39Speaker 1: who do you like to maybe find the in zone first? Oh,
- 12:42Speaker 1: we're going for Drake London.
- 12:43Speaker 4: Man, he's been on fire man and honestly, I do
- 12:45Speaker 4: think that when you look at Drake London these last
- 12:48Speaker 4: couple of games, I know they had to buy, but
- 12:50Speaker 4: these last couple of games, him and Pennock's connection is growing.
- 12:53Speaker 4: Like everything we saw in those three games last season,
- 12:55Speaker 4: it's starting to get on track to be more consistent.
- 12:58Speaker 4: So I'm hoping for a big game from Drake London
- 13:01Speaker 4: because obviously he's an all starting lineups.
- 13:04Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, an all starting lineups for sure. So I
- 13:07Speaker 1: think you can have a nice game. But again, like I.
- 13:09Speaker 4: Didn't put a forty winers shoke in there. I promise
- 13:12Speaker 4: you I was right, but I just not moving it though.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Florida. If you're putting together I'm just ignoring you. But
- 13:20Speaker 1: we're putting together a DFS lineup for this thing. You're
- 13:23Speaker 1: going to pay up for one of the two running backs.
- 13:26Speaker 1: Is it Bejeon Robinson or is it Christian McCaffrey.
- 13:28Speaker 2: It is Jon Robinson.
- 13:30Speaker 3: It is the player that is getting widely regarded as
- 13:33Speaker 3: the best player in the NFL right now for a
- 13:34Speaker 3: couple of different reasons.
- 13:36Speaker 2: One, he is as explosive as ever.
- 13:38Speaker 3: I do think he is the best running back in football,
- 13:41Speaker 3: and no disrespect to see him c he is still
- 13:43Speaker 3: one of the best. But the forty nine Ers have
- 13:46Speaker 3: really struggled against the run since the Nick Bosa injury.
- 13:49Speaker 3: And now you add in Fred Warner, which Marcus, I mean,
- 13:53Speaker 3: you could speak on more than me, but that is
- 13:54Speaker 3: a huge loss. So I think this forty nine Ers
- 13:58Speaker 3: defense is just so depleted. Meanwhile, the Falcons defense, they're
- 14:01Speaker 3: hitting hard, they're playing really well. I think both of
- 14:03Speaker 3: these guys go off.
- 14:04Speaker 2: But give me Bijon.
- 14:05Speaker 1: I mean, I think it's the Niners are struggling to
- 14:07Speaker 1: stop the run on offense. They are struggling to run
- 14:09Speaker 1: the ball as well, especially in short yard situations. So
- 14:11Speaker 1: I think Beijon probably is the answer there. We're gonna
- 14:14Speaker 1: go take a break. In the meantime, Lakwan's gonna put
- 14:16Speaker 1: out another EMO video about the Rams struggling against the Ravens.
- 14:19Speaker 2: We'll come back.
- 14:19Speaker 1: We'll talk some more Week seven previews with Monday Night
- 14:23Speaker 1: Football and some more starts and since when the NFL
- 14:25Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show returns, We've got yet another Monday Night
- 14:32Speaker 1: doubleheader coming our way up. Believe it may be the
- 14:34Speaker 1: last one in the history of ever. Coming up this
- 14:37Speaker 1: week the first one of the Buccaneers are in Detroit
- 14:40Speaker 1: to take on the Lines. You can see that game
- 14:41Speaker 1: at seven pm Eastern time on ESPN ABC and ESPN
- 14:45Speaker 1: de Portes. I'm Lakwarrashod White looking like he's gonna get
- 14:49Speaker 1: another start. With Bucky Irving still nursing multiple injuries, the
- 14:53Speaker 1: Lions run defense has been very, very good, though. Can
- 14:56Speaker 1: you trust putting Rashad White in a lineup this week?
- 14:59Speaker 4: Yeah, because there's two things. With Bucky Irvin out, they've
- 15:02Speaker 4: been giving him that same type of workload. He's been
- 15:04Speaker 4: the RB one, Like, you don't have to worry about
- 15:06Speaker 4: Sean Tucker taking some of those touches. But I'm not
- 15:09Speaker 4: really looking much for him on the ground. It's getting
- 15:11Speaker 4: less than four yards per carry. But what I care
- 15:13Speaker 4: about are the targets out of that backfield that he's
- 15:15Speaker 4: getting the opportunities he's getting in the red zone, and
- 15:18Speaker 4: with Baker Mayfield as your quarterback and the lines banged
- 15:21Speaker 4: up with some key pieces on that defense, there's gonna
- 15:24Speaker 4: be a lot of scoring opportunities for Rashad White if
- 15:26Speaker 4: they're looking at him as the RB one and treating
- 15:28Speaker 4: him like Bucky Irvin as if he is in the
- 15:31Speaker 4: game as well as the RB one.
- 15:32Speaker 1: I just keep saying to people like, you know, we
- 15:35Speaker 1: do have experience of for Shad White being in RB
- 15:37Speaker 1: one because he was the RB one before Bucky Irving
- 15:40Speaker 1: showed up, and then Bucky came in and basically you know,
- 15:44Speaker 1: stole his food, you know, and we are where we
- 15:47Speaker 1: are now. But Rashade why can be a good bag.
- 15:49Speaker 1: I think the ceiling's not as high as it would
- 15:51Speaker 1: be with Bucky Irving, but I think a pretty stable
- 15:54Speaker 1: floor if he's getting that kind of workload. So we
- 15:56Speaker 1: will see and what could be a score fest coming
- 15:59Speaker 1: up on Monday.
- 15:59Speaker 3: We need to group of like running backs who were
- 16:01Speaker 3: the RB one and then lost the job, and Kenneth
- 16:04Speaker 3: Walker was Shad White, Tuba.
- 16:06Speaker 1: Hubbard, Kenneth Walker, there I'm not gonna every two snaps
- 16:11Speaker 1: right now, bro, I don't think it should be. But
- 16:14Speaker 1: if that's what it is, that is what's happening.
- 16:16Speaker 4: Ken Walker, trade, ask for a trade.
- 16:20Speaker 1: I mean, the Seahawks will be all right if you
- 16:22Speaker 1: could ask for whatever you like. I mean, you know,
- 16:24Speaker 1: my kid asked for ice cream for breakfast, and I
- 16:25Speaker 1: mean it's happened. Speaking of the Seahawks, they are hosting
- 16:29Speaker 1: the Texans in the second Monday night game, that one
- 16:32Speaker 1: at ten pm Eastern, So in case you folks on
- 16:35Speaker 1: the East Coast want a little late, if you guys
- 16:36Speaker 1: want to experience what the joy of Hawaii University football was,
- 16:40Speaker 1: and it's heyday, that's what it was. You guys don't
- 16:42Speaker 1: know the glory of Hawaii football. It'd be ten pm
- 16:45Speaker 1: kickoffs on the West coast and it would go with
- 16:48Speaker 1: a quarterback in the shotgun and five wide receivers that
- 16:50Speaker 1: throw the ball fifty times a game. It was amazing
- 16:52Speaker 1: football to watch. This probably will not be that. We
- 16:56Speaker 1: talked about the Texans running backs a little bit earlier,
- 16:58Speaker 1: but Floyle, you mentioned Kenth Walker and Zach Sharboney, who
- 17:01Speaker 1: are sort of cannibalizing each other. Can you start either
- 17:04Speaker 1: one of those guys in this game and maybe even
- 17:08Speaker 1: spinning forward, I mean, how are we looking at those guys?
- 17:10Speaker 3: Yeah, they're kind of anchors, right, Like I don't think
- 17:13Speaker 3: they're good enough where you play them or you want
- 17:15Speaker 3: to play them at least, and they're too good to drop,
- 17:18Speaker 3: especially Kenneth Walker, because the upside is really high with Walker.
- 17:22Speaker 3: But the reason I think their sits is because in
- 17:25Speaker 3: the five games that they have played together, Sharboney continues
- 17:28Speaker 3: to play over Walker. He gets the goal line looks
- 17:30Speaker 3: as well, which is very valuable, but he is a plotter,
- 17:33Speaker 3: so he doesn't really put up much numbers. In fact,
- 17:36Speaker 3: he's high on the season is thirteen fantasy points. Want
- 17:39Speaker 3: to hear something sad that's outscored Kenneth Walker in four
- 17:42Speaker 3: of the five games that they've played together, like it
- 17:45Speaker 3: hasn't worked out for fantasy purposes. And then on top
- 17:49Speaker 3: like plus something we talked about on like Monday, if
- 17:51Speaker 3: Kenneth Walker's going to score touchdown, he's got to do
- 17:53Speaker 3: it for like twenty yards out because they're not giving
- 17:55Speaker 3: him work near the goal line. He's a big play
- 17:57Speaker 3: reliant flex option in my opinion, going up against a
- 18:00Speaker 3: Texans defense that is bottom ten and fantasy points per game,
- 18:03Speaker 3: rush yards and explosive yard runs two running backs, So
- 18:07Speaker 3: it's a tough matchup and I just hate the way
- 18:09Speaker 3: he's being used right now.
- 18:10Speaker 1: This is pretty much how every Seahawks game goes, right.
- 18:12Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker will get like eight to ten carries, He'll
- 18:15Speaker 1: have like, you know, sixty yards, including like a thirty
- 18:18Speaker 1: yard run in there, and then Zach Sharboney will have
- 18:21Speaker 1: like one catch for like eight yards. They'll have like
- 18:24Speaker 1: five carries for you know, twenty yards and a touchdown,
- 18:28Speaker 1: and then they'll pretty much end up with kind of
- 18:29Speaker 1: similar numbers when it's all said done.
- 18:31Speaker 2: And last week they both scored less than five fan Like,
- 18:34Speaker 2: that's how low the floor is.
- 18:35Speaker 3: Plus gross, I mean, when Seattle's in trouble, they're just like, hey,
- 18:38Speaker 3: JSN somewhere and they just heave it down fields.
- 18:41Speaker 2: Yeah. Gross.
- 18:43Speaker 1: Anyway, I guess this's back to our starts in six.
- 18:45Speaker 1: You mentioned JS and we know he's pretty much a
- 18:47Speaker 1: start at this point for wide receivers, but who else
- 18:50Speaker 1: is a start or a six.
- 18:51Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel if he suits up this week, I think
- 18:54Speaker 3: is a must start against the Cowboys. Rashid Rice is
- 18:56Speaker 3: a must start. I spoke about him a lot on
- 18:59Speaker 3: the pod yesterday. Lad mcconkee, I think is back in
- 19:02Speaker 3: our fantasy good graces, and the Colts are a good matchup.
- 19:05Speaker 3: Devonte Adams I think is an absolute must play. He
- 19:08Speaker 3: plays all the snaps out wide and no team has
- 19:10Speaker 3: struggled more against out wide receivers than the Jags.
- 19:13Speaker 2: And I think Courtland Sutton.
- 19:14Speaker 3: He's had four games over seventeen fantasy points and two
- 19:17Speaker 3: under three, like it's all or nothing. I think this
- 19:19Speaker 3: is an all week. And then the Sis DeVonta Smith.
- 19:22Speaker 3: The targets have just been two inconsistent and the Vikings
- 19:26Speaker 3: have been elite against out wide wide receivers and on
- 19:28Speaker 3: deep passes. Dj Moore it's five targets every week except
- 19:32Speaker 3: for the one game where he had six. Like, I'm
- 19:34Speaker 3: just done starting DJ Moore in fantasy. Juwan Jennings Patrick
- 19:38Speaker 3: Klaibund did the math the other day. It's like thirty
- 19:40Speaker 3: percent of his ribs are broken right now. Plus he
- 19:42Speaker 3: has a high and low ankle sprain, and the Falcons
- 19:45Speaker 3: are a tough matchup. Josh Downs did pop up on
- 19:47Speaker 3: the injury report this week. But either way, I think
- 19:50Speaker 3: it's okay to plan on not having him and then
- 19:52Speaker 3: Travis Hunter. I included him because I want to be like,
- 19:55Speaker 3: I'm not dropping him. He led the team in routes
- 19:58Speaker 3: this past week. He had a lot of targets. But
- 20:00Speaker 3: until we see him and William Lawrence on the same page,
- 20:03Speaker 3: I think you got to stitch Travis Hunter.
- 20:05Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings last week had more broken ribs than catches.
- 20:10Speaker 2: Yeah, what is that?
- 20:12Speaker 1: I mean, I'm just speaking factually. That's all there is
- 20:16Speaker 1: to it. It's getting just a little bit further. Lakwan
- 20:19Speaker 1: or she Rice making his return. It's been over a
- 20:22Speaker 1: calendar year since he played football. Got hurt early in
- 20:25Speaker 1: Week four of last year. He was the coal or
- 20:29Speaker 1: the Chiefs wide receiver one when he got injured. Does
- 20:32Speaker 1: he step back into that wide receiver one role again? Yes?
- 20:35Speaker 4: And I think all fantasy managers they've been waiting for this.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Save Us King is what you've been hearing in the
- 20:42Speaker 4: fantasy streets because a lot of folks have been waiting
- 20:45Speaker 4: for this moment. And against the Raiders, this is a
- 20:47Speaker 4: great matchup for him to get his feet wet, to
- 20:49Speaker 4: get back and rhythm with the Holmes because the Raiders
- 20:52Speaker 4: are actually allowing twenty two fantasy points per game to
- 20:54Speaker 4: the wide receiver position this season. That is top of
- 20:57Speaker 4: the table. So I'm looking at this matchup where you
- 20:59Speaker 4: can find only Breathe, you could finally put him in
- 21:02Speaker 4: your starting lineups. You can get a reliable wide receiver
- 21:04Speaker 4: who was healthy. By the way, he was suspended. This
- 21:07Speaker 4: isn't an injury return. It was healthy in the summer.
- 21:10Speaker 4: He said he's felt good, So I feel good putting
- 21:12Speaker 4: him in starting lineups along with Florio.
- 21:14Speaker 1: Let's go. Yeah. I think that that is a good
- 21:17Speaker 1: distinction too. Right, He's not coming back off an injury.
- 21:19Speaker 1: He's just suspended. He's been rehabbing for a while, so
- 21:22Speaker 1: that shouldn't be an issue. Travis Hunter taking on your
- 21:25Speaker 1: rams in London? Did Jaguars that they're old stomping grounds
- 21:28Speaker 1: there in London? I have been itching to put Travis
- 21:32Speaker 1: Hunter back in my lineup? Can I put Travis Hunter
- 21:34Speaker 1: back in my lineup this week? Listen?
- 21:36Speaker 4: This is me trying to be nice about my team,
- 21:39Speaker 4: but I'm going to be honest. I think Liam Cohen
- 21:42Speaker 4: knows Sean McVay very well. With Liam Cohen on that
- 21:44Speaker 4: coaching staff with Liam Cohen and Kevin O'Connell. They kind
- 21:48Speaker 4: of have the same membrane of what they think about
- 21:51Speaker 4: the offense and getting the edge. Now, I think Liam
- 21:53Speaker 4: Cohen he's going to unlock Travis Hunter in this game
- 21:56Speaker 4: based on our DBS. I don't think Darius Williams or
- 21:59Speaker 4: Manuel Forbes we'll be able to handle a Brian Thomas
- 22:01Speaker 4: Junior and a Travis Hunter. How we were seeing Travis
- 22:04Speaker 4: Hunter make these big plays like this on Spags defense.
- 22:07Speaker 4: I think Chris Schulo better have some good night's sleeve
- 22:10Speaker 4: after that late travel that they're arriving Saturday, a day
- 22:13Speaker 4: before the game, by the way, which is kind of reckless.
- 22:16Speaker 4: And I do feel like this is a game where
- 22:17Speaker 4: Travis Hunter will be displayed at a high level on
- 22:20Speaker 4: offense this game, all right, By.
- 22:22Speaker 1: The way, you're not nice about the forty nine ers.
- 22:24Speaker 1: You say you struggle to be nice about your own team,
- 22:26Speaker 1: Like what teams are you nice about?
- 22:28Speaker 4: I'm nice, just I need to be honest with my team.
- 22:31Speaker 3: Man.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Our DBS are not great.
- 22:33Speaker 4: So I look at this matchup, it's like we're Trevor
- 22:35Speaker 4: mid Lawrence or said I say, Sir William might have
- 22:37Speaker 4: a great matchup, Like I feel as though Travis Hunter
- 22:40Speaker 4: brings flex.
- 22:41Speaker 1: Appeal at the very least.
- 22:43Speaker 2: This week, you.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Say more nice things about Trevor Lawrence than you do
- 22:45Speaker 1: Kyrien Williams. It's weird, Yeah, understand it.
- 22:48Speaker 4: That's that's for obvious reasons. Mark, We're not going to
- 22:51Speaker 4: get into. Don't make me crash out right now, Okay,
- 22:54Speaker 4: I'm trying to prevent that.
- 22:55Speaker 3: I mean, kyraen Is, he's just one of the best
- 22:57Speaker 3: running backs in football.
- 22:58Speaker 2: That's all.
- 22:59Speaker 1: One lives in a glass case of emotion.
- 23:00Speaker 2: It's wild.
- 23:01Speaker 1: Uh. Tight ends Florida who were starts since for Week seven.
- 23:05Speaker 3: Kyle Williams RB nine on the season. Harro fanon Junior
- 23:08Speaker 3: to me is a must play. I know it's bad
- 23:10Speaker 3: weather there, but he gets touches as a running back
- 23:12Speaker 3: and everything. I think he remains in play. Dallas Goddard
- 23:15Speaker 3: a couple of weeks ago, I was like, the touchdowns
- 23:16Speaker 3: are nice, but the targets is so low it's unsustainable.
- 23:19Speaker 3: And then they just built the entire passing attack around
- 23:22Speaker 3: targets for Dallas Goddard. Evan Ingram is in play in
- 23:25Speaker 3: a good matchup against the Giants, who really struggle against
- 23:27Speaker 3: the slot, and he is their top slot option. Darren
- 23:30Speaker 3: Waller just continues to be the go to guy in
- 23:32Speaker 3: the red and end zone for the Dolphins, and then
- 23:35Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts. The forty nine Ers have struggled mightily against
- 23:39Speaker 3: the slot more than even any team including the Giants,
- 23:42Speaker 3: and Kyle Pitts is the top slot target for the Falcons.
- 23:46Speaker 3: And then at some six Aj Barner look last week
- 23:49Speaker 3: he had one long catch and run play, but that
- 23:52Speaker 3: was it. The targets haven't been consistent. DJ Hawkinson has
- 23:55Speaker 3: one game that's you know, respectable for fantasy purposes, and
- 23:59Speaker 3: it needed a tough down to get there. Hunter Henry
- 24:01Speaker 3: is kind of trending in the wrong direction and this
- 24:04Speaker 3: might not be a game. The Patriots have to throw
- 24:06Speaker 3: a ton in Juwan Johnson. The targets have just completely vanished.
- 24:09Speaker 3: And then Theo Johnson. I know he's showing signs of
- 24:12Speaker 3: life recently. There's I think potential with him, but not
- 24:16Speaker 3: against the Denver Broncos.
- 24:18Speaker 1: Harold Fannin I was joking with you guys after the
- 24:20Speaker 1: show a couple of days ago that I actually had
- 24:23Speaker 1: David Joku as a sleeper and then he got hurt
- 24:26Speaker 1: and Harold Fanning got all the targets. So I'm just
- 24:28Speaker 1: gonna say that I'm right. Any worries though the quaid
- 24:31Speaker 1: because the weather's supposed to be kind of bad and
- 24:33Speaker 1: the wins potentially gusts of up to fifty to sixty
- 24:37Speaker 1: miles an hour, Does that combine with Dylan Gabriel make
- 24:40Speaker 1: you worried about Harold Fannin?
- 24:42Speaker 4: Not really, because he is the focus. I would think
- 24:45Speaker 4: now with David the DJOKU banged up. And I say
- 24:47Speaker 4: that because Dylan Gabriel leads all quarterbacks right now with
- 24:51Speaker 4: a thirty three percent tight end target share, which means
- 24:54Speaker 4: that is going to be the high function of this
- 24:56Speaker 4: offense even with the weather bad. And I think honestly
- 24:59Speaker 4: he he wildly undervalued because he is still rostered in
- 25:02Speaker 4: less than fifty percent of leagues.
- 25:04Speaker 1: People.
- 25:05Speaker 4: This is a tight end that is going to get
- 25:06Speaker 4: a huge boost in target's share just based on with
- 25:09Speaker 4: David n Jokhu likely to miss some time, so people
- 25:12Speaker 4: need to go out there and get him into their
- 25:14Speaker 4: starting lineups, get him off the waiver wire. I've been
- 25:16Speaker 4: trying to bully him into my starting lineups as a
- 25:18Speaker 4: flex going along with my Trey mcbrides going along with
- 25:21Speaker 4: my Tyler Warrenson, et cetera, et cetera. So this is
- 25:24Speaker 4: a matchup that I think he's going to put a
- 25:25Speaker 4: lot of people on notice that they might get lucky
- 25:28Speaker 4: and be able to pick him up with the waiver
- 25:29Speaker 4: wire later on.
- 25:30Speaker 2: Yeah, and I'm.
- 25:31Speaker 1: Surprised he's still available in so many leagues. He should
- 25:34Speaker 1: not be at all quickly. Lakwan on aj Barner was
- 25:38Speaker 1: last week just a fluke listen. I think that the
- 25:41Speaker 1: targets will eventually come, but it shows that he has
- 25:44Speaker 1: a role in this offense, and it looks like man
- 25:47Speaker 1: when he gets those big plays, there's some yards at
- 25:49Speaker 1: the catching. His thing on his utility belt is big playability.
- 25:53Speaker 1: And again, four out of his last six games he's
- 25:56Speaker 1: had ten plus Fantasy points. So I'm looking at this
- 25:58Speaker 1: guy as a watchless guy, but as a stash guy
- 26:00Speaker 1: in picking up if I can, especially if like Travis
- 26:03Speaker 1: Kelcey is my tight end one or I'm still trying
- 26:05Speaker 1: to wheel and deal with Mark Andrews, Like, I think
- 26:08Speaker 1: that he brings enough respectable Fantasy points on a weekly
- 26:11Speaker 1: basis that you can roster this guy to where eventually
- 26:14Speaker 1: a bye week, he'll be a filler, all right, So
- 26:17Speaker 1: keep an eye on aj Barner apparently is the word here,
- 26:20Speaker 1: so even if you're out starting him, just keep that
- 26:23Speaker 1: in your back pocket for future weeks. Who knows. All right,
- 26:26Speaker 1: that's our look at week seven and he starts and sits.
- 26:28Speaker 1: For more information, of course, you can go to NFL
- 26:30Speaker 1: dot com slash starts and sits now times to get
- 26:34Speaker 1: some milk and cool things off. We got our spicy
- 26:36Speaker 1: hot takes for week seven.
- 26:38Speaker 2: La Kwan. I was hyping your.
- 26:40Speaker 1: Dude up on Fantasy Live, so I love seeing what
- 26:42Speaker 1: your bold prediction is right now.
- 26:44Speaker 4: Jordan Winnington a one hundred yard game put in the
- 26:48Speaker 4: fantasy streets on notice. I think this is the matchup
- 26:51Speaker 4: he steps up in light with Pokin Nakula sideline. This
- 26:54Speaker 4: guy is like a running back in open space, which
- 26:56Speaker 4: makes sense. Then a freshman year in Texas, he was
- 26:58Speaker 4: actually on the running back dev chart. He is a
- 27:01Speaker 4: second string running back, so I think it honestly makes
- 27:03Speaker 4: sense that two games this season, three games this season,
- 27:06Speaker 4: he's had over six yards after to catch per reception,
- 27:09Speaker 4: so I think big players are on away from him,
- 27:11Speaker 4: and I do think this is a game that folks
- 27:13Speaker 4: need to be starting him if you can.
- 27:15Speaker 1: Yeah, I like Jordan Whittington. I also like would in
- 27:18Speaker 1: maybe DFS throw in to two at well in a
- 27:20Speaker 1: lineup because to get a ton of targets. But when
- 27:23Speaker 1: he does, they always seem to be about fifty yards downfield.
- 27:26Speaker 1: So made a whole lot of them. Floyer, your bold
- 27:30Speaker 1: prediction for the.
- 27:30Speaker 3: Week, Mason Taylor is the tight end one list.
- 27:35Speaker 2: We're going big here.
- 27:37Speaker 3: I think Mason Taylor is going to I wanted to
- 27:39Speaker 3: make it about Justin Fields as well, because I think
- 27:41Speaker 3: Justin Fields goes off, but Garrett Wilson very much so
- 27:44Speaker 3: up in the air. Garret Wilson, if he plays this
- 27:46Speaker 3: things this prediction a little bit. But I think Mason
- 27:49Speaker 3: Taylor could be the top target this week for Justin Fields,
- 27:53Speaker 3: and it could not come in a better matchup for him.
- 27:56Speaker 3: Because the Panthers have allowed the most yards, third most touchdowns,
- 27:59Speaker 3: second most fantasy points per game two tight ends this season.
- 28:03Speaker 3: And I've said it a lot this week. They do
- 28:04Speaker 3: not generate pressure at all, literally the lowest rate in
- 28:07Speaker 3: the NFL. Justin Fields has been under pressure at literally
- 28:10Speaker 3: the highest rate by far In the NFL this season.
- 28:13Speaker 3: So a game where he gets time to throw, I
- 28:15Speaker 3: think Field shines and I think it means really good
- 28:17Speaker 3: things for the other Jets, including Breese Hall and Mason Taylor,
- 28:20Speaker 3: who probably could get double digit.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Catches and just go off. I do like the passing
- 28:24Speaker 1: game for sure. I do think Justin Fields has a
- 28:26Speaker 1: nice bounce back this week. Hopefully things go well for
- 28:29Speaker 1: Breeze Hall as well. For me, look for a big
- 28:33Speaker 1: bill coming this week. Cory Krosky merrit is going to
- 28:36Speaker 1: have his second two touchdown game of the season. Look,
- 28:40Speaker 1: we were on him, A lot of folks were on
- 28:42Speaker 1: him during the preseason. It's taken a few weeks, but
- 28:44Speaker 1: finally the Commanders have realized that he is the best
- 28:47Speaker 1: running back on the roster. They're starting to give him
- 28:49Speaker 1: more opportunities. Had a big game a couple of weeks ago.
- 28:52Speaker 1: Last week against the Bears kind of slowed down a
- 28:54Speaker 1: little bit, but I do think there is a chance
- 28:57Speaker 1: for him to come back big this week. Coming up
- 28:59Speaker 1: again the Dallas Cowboys, who have one of the worst
- 29:01Speaker 1: run defenses in the league. So I look for a
- 29:05Speaker 1: pair of touchdowns from Jacorey Crosskey Merritt. The Washington commander's
- 29:10Speaker 1: offense will run up a big bill coming up this week.
- 29:13Speaker 1: So here we go our bold predictions coming up four
- 29:16Speaker 1: Week seven the meantime for us, that is it. We
- 29:19Speaker 1: are done. We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL
- 29:21Speaker 1: Fantasy Football show.
