  Speaker 2: NFL dot com slash start sit. I know you have
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: been working tirelessly at this thing since what Sunday afternoon?
• 0:26
  Speaker 2: I would assume, right, yeah, start.
• 0:27
  Speaker 3: Writing it on Sunday and nothing ever changes about the
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: course of So.
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: Don't worry about that. Everything that happens on Sunday is
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: as it will be when we get to the following Sunday.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: That's all there's there are, all there is to it.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: We will go through the top starts and six of
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: week five. We'll tell you who's gonna get it in
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: a club dub plus Lakwan Jens will be back and
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: he will give you his top five sleepers for the week.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: But without any further ado, let's get into your starts
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: and sits at quarterback four Week five. Of course we're
• 0:55
  Speaker 2: doing this after the Thursday night game has happened. I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: know that you had justin fields this week, right, you
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: were justin fields guy? This week?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: I said to start justin fields this week. Some other
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: quarterbacks Anthony Richardson, Kirk Cousins, c J. Stroud, who's been
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: playing out of his mind right now. And I think
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Jordan Love is in play, although I know you don't
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: love him. This week, Yes, some sits Trevor Lawrence against
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: the Bills, Joe Burrow because he just doesn't look like
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Joe Burrow right now. Russell Wilson and Brock Purdy in
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: a tough matchup against the Cowboys.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Oh so Danger Russ who's been playing well, is on
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: the sit list. Let's talk about some guys on the
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: start list. Kirk Cousins going against the Kansas City Chiefs
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: last week, Cousins had his worst game of the season,
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: just one hundred and thirty nine passing yards, which you
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: think he bounces back against KSE.
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: It's so ironic that he had his worst game of
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: the season and it's the only game that the Vikings
• 1:44
  Speaker 3: have won so far this season.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: But that is the whole thing.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: They're playing the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes, They're
• 1:52
  Speaker 3: gonna have to put up points. They're likely going to
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: be playing ketchup, and that is when Kirk Cousins is
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: at his best. For fantasy purposes. This is his first
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: game last week with fewer than three hundred and forty
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: passing yards. The Chiefs their secondary is tough, but we
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: know that this Vikings defense could put up points. They
• 2:08
  Speaker 3: did it against the Eagles. I'm expecting a game similar
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: to that in Week two, where the other team goes
• 2:13
  Speaker 3: off against the Vikings defense, and then Kirk Cousins is like, well,
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: I guess I gotta try to match that.
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: This game has the makings of a score fest if
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: both these offenses do what we think they are capable
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: of doing. Also, you Patrick Mahomes on the other side
• 2:26
  Speaker 2: coming off of one of his worst games in a
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: long time too, So we'll see if those quarterbacks can
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: get back on the good foot. Do we see Taylor
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: Swift there? Yes?
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: Or no?
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: I don't care. I'm sure that my mentions will be
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I don't anyway. CJ. Stroud is off to an amazing start.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: He has set in NFL record the first player in
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: NFL history to go for twelve hundred plus yards without
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: an interception over the first four games of his career.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: I know we're parsing it down. I don't care. It's
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: still pretty special. He's got the Falcons this week, so
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: we keep the CJ. Stroud train rolling. Huh Yeah.
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: I am rolling with Stroud and last week I had
• 3:01
  Speaker 3: him as they sit against the Steelers. I will take
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: the l there, but I said that it was a
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: big test for him, and he passed with flying colors,
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: going for three hundred and six and two touchdowns. He
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: is now top twenty Fantasy points in three straight games,
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: with multiple passing touchdowns in each of those. I know
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: that the Falcons on paper look like a tough matchup,
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: but they bring pressure at a below average rate.
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think that is big for CJ.
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: Stroud. Not only do I want to start Stroud, I
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: think you want to start a pass catchers in this one.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: As well well. Absolutely. I mean I've been telling people,
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: if you've got Tank Dell or Nico Collins, you are
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: starting them understanding that there will be ups and downs.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: But the way the Texans are throwing the football and
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: the way those guys are playing, I don't know how
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: you sit either Collins or Dell at this point on
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: the other side, and I never thought we would be
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: here if you had told me back in July that
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: we'd be saying this in Week five, I would have said,
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: you're crazy, But Joe Burrow is a sit against the Cardinals.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: Huh yeah.
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: Every week on Sunday, Joe Burrow managers are like, that's it,
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: I'm not playing him anymore. And then on like Wednesday,
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: I get text from people like, Hey, have you seen
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: who Joe Burrow's facing yet this week? Maybe he could
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: bounce back against the Cardinals, and I just need to
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: see it first. Last week was a good matchup on
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: paper against the Titans. He gave you less than five
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: fantasy points. He is averaging seven point nine fantasy points
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: per game on the season and has more games without
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: a touchdown pass than he does touchdown passes on the season.
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: Right now, you keep him on your bench in my opinion,
• 4:32
  Speaker 3: until he shows us that he looks like Joe Burrow.
• 4:34
  Speaker 2: Here are the quarterbacks that have more fantasy points than
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: Joe Burrow. Derek Carr, Jimmy Garoppolo, Ryan Tannehill. Can you
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: pick it, Zach Wilson, Desmond Ritter. I mean I can
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: keep going. Here's all of them, so pretty much all
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: of them. So all of the quarterbacks have more fantasy
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: points than Joe Burrow. That is where we are here
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: at the start of week five, so we talked about
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: the guys who are pitching out the side, about the
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: guys who are gonna be catching it. Look at the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: wide receiver starts sits four week five? Who do you have?
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: I said I would be playing CJ. Strouds pass catchers.
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: That's why Nico Collins is a start for me. Brandon
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: Ayuk the wide receiver one for the San Francisco forty
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: nine ers. Christian Watson is back for the Packers, so
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: he should be back for your fantasy lineups. And then
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: Adam Thielen. He's the replacement option because the fourth one
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: was originally Dj Moore. Hopefully you did start Dj Moore
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: this week. Some sits Drake London because I want nothing
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: to do with the Falcons passing attack ever, Courtland Sutton
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: because Jets. Jordan Addison in a tough matchup on paper
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: against the Chiefs, and then Tyler Boyd. The only one
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: I'm nervous about the right there is is Jordan Addison.
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Addison I think well, I think he bounces back from
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: last week when he had one target in zero catches,
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: Like I feel confident that he's gonna do better. Than
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: that in Week five. But how good he's gonna do well,
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: I think that is up for debate. Let's talk about
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: Christian Watson because he came back last week, did have
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: a touchdown, didn't see a ton of snaps as the
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Packers were working him back in. But you think he
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: goes big against the Raiders this week? Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: I think on Monday Night football, where everyone is gonna
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: have the eyes on their eyes on DeVante Adams on
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: the other side and talking about how he's still amazing
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: without the Packers, I think Christian Watson is gonna have
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: a little something to prove, like, hey, the Packers are
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: doing alright with what they have here. We saw last week,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: like you said, on a snap count, he still scored
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: a touchdown in the red zone. And I think now
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: with the mini buy, we could see him play close to,
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: if not a full allotment of snaps. And it only
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: takes a play or two for Christian Watson to have
• 6:27
  Speaker 3: a big Fantasy day.
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: That's the thing. He's so good after the catch that
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: you just get the ball in his hands and who
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: knows is gonna happen from there. Plus, if they decide
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: to stretch the field, he's the guy who can take
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the top off the defense. Adam feeling just keeps thumbing
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: his nose at regression like we're like, oh, I had a feeling,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: he's washed, he's old, and he's just like he keeps
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: going and doing it. And the Lions maybe not the
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: doormats they once were, but you still like feeling this
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: week against Detroit, Yeah, I do it.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: It is wild to say that Adam Feelen has been
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: quarterback proof, but that's what he has been. In the
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: first month of the seas he has at least eight
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: targets in three straight games, seven catches and over fifteen
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: fantasy points in each of those games, and in that
• 7:06
  Speaker 3: span he is averaging over twenty two fantasy points per game.
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: As good as the lines defenses, they are amazing at
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: stopping the run.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: So I think one the.
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: Panthers don't have much of a run game they could
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: rely on, but even more so this week, I think
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: they're gonna have to throw the ball more than normal.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: Adam Thielen is a top twelve Fantasy wide receiver through
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: the first four plus weeks of the season. Didn't think
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: we would be talking about that. Brandon Aiyuk, you mentioned it.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: I've I've been on this train for a while, but
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: I'm glad to welcome everybody aboard. Brandon ayuk is the
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: wide receiver one for the San Francisco forty nine ers,
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: and you have no fear against starting him against the Cowboys. No,
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: and kudos to you.
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: You've been driving the ayuk Ki train, not just this season,
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: but for years now, and exactly what you said. He
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: is the wide receiver one for the San Francisco forty
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: nine ers. He leads this team in targets, in receiving yards,
• 7:56
  Speaker 3: in receiving touchdowns, and end zone targets. And that is
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: despite missing a game already this season. He is averaging
• 8:03
  Speaker 3: almost sixteen air yards per target, so he is always
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: a threat to put up high yardage catch a long touchdown,
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: even in a tough matchup against the Cowboys. I think
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: he is a mustart wide receiver and I'm feeling great
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: about him. Not so much Debo or George Kittle.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Right, Deebo, I'm a little worried about George Kittle. You know,
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: I know it's hard to avoid him, but I would
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: if I could, just because I think he's gonna spend
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: a lot of time blocking and not as much time
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: route running and getting involved in the passing game for
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: San Francisco. Speaking of George Kittle, we're gonna talk about
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: some tight ends coming up, and it's signed for a
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: vibe check. We're gonna tell you how we're feeling about
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: some of your biggest fantasy questions. That and more coming
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: up here on the Stardom Setup Show. Take a look
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: at the Stardom situm tight Ends four Week five Florio
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: take us through it.
• 8:54
  Speaker 3: Darren Waller in a potentially bounced back spot. I still
• 8:57
  Speaker 3: like Tyler Higbee even with Cooper cupback as a there,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: Dallas Goddard giving him another shot, and Jake Ferguson even
• 9:04
  Speaker 3: in a tough matchup some six, Kyle Pitts because Falcons,
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: Hunter Henry in a tough matchup, chig Aconco, and the
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: fourth one there was Cole Comet, my bad.
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: Cole Comett is very quietly having a really nice year.
• 9:18
  Speaker 2: And Kyle Pitts. I don't know, man, I think that's
• 9:21
  Speaker 2: just what it is. John new Smith is the tight
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: end one in Atlanta. None of us like it, but
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: we just got to accept the fact. At this point,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: let's talk about some potentially happier things because Darren Waller
• 9:31
  Speaker 2: has been a disappointment, but the Giants are saying they
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: understand they've got to get him more involved. The Actually
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: the headline I saw was Daniel Jones hopes to get
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: Darren Waller Moore involved, And I'm like, hope is not
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: a strategy. I'm hoping they have a strategy because you
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: have him as a start.
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: I am hoping that their strategy is to get him
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: the ball more. I'm hoping that Daniel Jones is even
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: capable of getting him the ball more. But I'm hoping
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: for a squeaky wheel game. A lot of the times
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: we hear stuff like this and then the game plan
• 10:01
  Speaker 3: is emphasized, hey, especially in those first fifteen plays, let's
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: try to get the ball going to our best playmaker,
• 10:06
  Speaker 3: especially since last week on the first drive, Daniel Bellinger
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: got hurt was out for the game, so Waller was
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: asked to do a little bit more blocking. The Dolphins
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: are middle of the pack against tight ends. They don't
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: bring a ton of pressure, which I think has helped
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: Danny Dimes, and they're gonna score a bunch of points
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: against the Giants defense. So I'm guessing that means the
• 10:25
  Speaker 3: Giants are gonna be throwing the ball a whole lot.
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know why they haven't just schemed
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: up more things because he is the most consistent playmaking
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: pass catcher they have in the offense. They're not using
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Jalen Hyatt that I don't know what they're doing offensively,
• 10:37
  Speaker 2: but why not just try and force feed Darren Waller.
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: Hopefully that happens this week. Jake Ferguson, and I said
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: this on NFL Fantasy Live. There are only a handful
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: of tight ends I can think of to like confidently
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: start over Jake Ferguson. Right now, it's Travis Kelcey, It's
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: TJ Hawkinson, it's Sam Laporta, it's Evan Ingram. Trying to
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: think of like a fifth one of Mark and Mark Andrews.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: Third is Mark Andrews is the other guy that I
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: would start over. Other than that, if you don't have
• 11:02
  Speaker 2: one of those five guys, why aren't you starting Jake Ferguson,
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: He was available.
• 11:06
  Speaker 3: On the waiver wire in a whole bunch of NFL
• 11:09
  Speaker 3: dot Com leagues earlier this week. Hopefully you were the
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: lucky one that picked him up, especially if you have.
• 11:14
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Kyle Pitts. Maybe Jake Ferguson has seen
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: elite well exactly seven targets in three of his four
• 11:21
  Speaker 3: games so far this season, and he has been Fantasy
• 11:24
  Speaker 3: productive with them. The Cowboys also love to utilize their
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: tight ends in the red zone. So right now, Jake
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: Ferguson is looking like the Dalton Schultz, the new Dalton
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Schultz there for Dak Prescott and this Cowboys offense, even
• 11:38
  Speaker 3: in a tough matchup against the forty nine Ers defense,
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: I'm not shying away from I think you gotta start him.
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I mean you gotta start him. He's still available on
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: about sixty percent of NFL dot Com league. So if
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: you're playing on NFL dot Com, give it a look
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: because there's a chance Jake Ferguson could be there for you.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: Hunter Henry, I said a couple weeks ago that Hunter
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: Henry was about to break your heart. He had a
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: good start to the season, had a couple of touchdowns.
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: I just knew that it wasn't going to be sustainable.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: And you don't like him this week against New Orleans.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: Yeah, hot start, Like you said, He's really only had
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: one bad game. By a tight end standard, at least
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: for fantasy purposes. But his offense is in complete shambles
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: right now, and he draws the hardest matchup for a
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: tight end right now. The Saints have allowed a league
• 12:21
  Speaker 3: low eighty two receiving yeards sets through four games. It's
• 12:24
  Speaker 3: about twenty yards per game, give or take just one touchdown,
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: and the second fewest catches to the position given the matchup.
• 12:32
  Speaker 3: Given how his offense has looked right now, I think
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: there's better options at the position.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: This Yeah, I just I don't trust anything really with
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: the Patriots offense. Like I still want to try and
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: believe in Remandre even but it's getting harder because they
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: just they can't move the ball, they can't score points.
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: It's really rough for the guys with the flags on
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: their helmets. Time now for a secondent. We like to
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: call how we feel in We'll rip through some of
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: the guys we're getting asked about the most on social
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: media websites dot and let's you know if they should
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: be in your lineups this week. So let's start with
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Junior going against the
• 13:07
  Speaker 2: Tennessee Titans and their past funnel defense. How you feeling
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: about MPJ.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: I'm feeling good about him this week. I think this
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: is a big bounce back spot. I know he's coming
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: off his first down game of the season, but he's
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: still tied for the team lead in targets and the
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Titans they're in the top five in yards allowed to receivers,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: but they really struggle against the deep ball as well.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: We know that is an area where Pittman and Anthony
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: Richardson could excel. I mean, Richardson could throw it like
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: fifty yards while falling down. So I feel good about
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Pittman bouncing back. Feel really good about Pittman this week.
• 13:38
  Speaker 2: Also feeling really good about David Montgomery against the Carolina Panthers.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: As much as a lot of people out there want
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: Jamior Gibbs to get a bigger role, and look, maybe
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: one day it's going to happen. Right now, this is
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: David Montgomery show. He is effective, he's running the football well.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: I know he's not flashy, but he's getting the job done.
• 13:55
  Speaker 2: And he gets to face a Panthers run defense that
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: has been awful all year long. I would expect that
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: David Montgomery is going to get plenty of touches, plenty
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: of opportunities to just run through that Panther defense, and
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: I feel great about having him in the lineup. Meanwhile,
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: Jamison Williams expected back for Detroit against the Panthers pass defense.
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: How do you feel about him?
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: I feel great about having him back on my fantasy rosters.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: Not quite ready yet to put him in the starting lineup.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: He's coming off the hamstring injury, the suspension, all of
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: that in a game where I think the Lions will
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: be playing from ahead and probably running the ball a
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: whole bunch in the second half, I want him on
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: all of as many rosters as I possibly can. I
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: just want to take a wait and see approach.
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think that's probably whise because even Dan Campbell's
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: saying he's going to play kind of a specific role
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: in the offense. Meanwhile, George Pickens to you know, on
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: the Baltimore Ravens, it looks like Kimmy Pickett is going
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: to play. I feel kind of about him. I mean,
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: full disclosure, I have him in the sleepers column, but
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: I'm not expecting big production out of him. What helps
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: for him is that he's pretty much the only guy
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: that's making plays in the passing game for this offense,
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: So I think that's a good signed. The bad news
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: is the Ravens have been really tough against opposing passing games.
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how it is. I feel like if
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: you have to start him, I understand. If you have
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: other options, maybe you consider those, but I get it
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: if this is what you got to do. Meanwhile, Isaiah Pachecko,
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: who runs like he's trying to kill the turf monster,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: how do you feel about him against the Vikings this week?
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: I was gonna say, unless you're Blade of Grass at
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: the USBA Stadium right now, you should be feeling good
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: about Isaiah Pachecko. He's been more effective as a fantasy
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: running back. He's getting used more in the passing game,
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: and I think this is a game where the Chiefs
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: could have a lead in the second half and we
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: know that they like to grind the clockout using Pachecko.
• 15:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Isaiah Pachecko is playing well. I mean,
• 15:39
  Speaker 2: as much as you know, I won't say I faded him,
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: but I was not big on him. But the credit
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: where it's to do. He's playing some really good football
• 15:46
  Speaker 2: right now. Speaking of Pachecko, We're going to be talking
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: about some running backs after the break, plus going to
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: open up the velvet ropes to get inside club up.
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: Stick around for more of the startup Sit Them show.
• 16:02
  Speaker 2: Let's talk some start them, Sit them running backs four
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: Week five Mike.
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: Devon Ahn is one hundred percent a must start option,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: James Connor in a good matchup, and Brece Hall. The
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: fourth name there was Brian Robinson. I did not expect
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: them to drop back fifty five times in.
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: A row this week.
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: My bad the sits Ramandre Stevenson. Maybe you can't get away,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: but if you can, I would Najie Harris. Same thing
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: pains me to say, Jamir Gibbs, and then Miles Sanders.
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: I have him on a couple of teams. I won
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: no part of him in my starting line.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: The Trooper Hubbard run last week was a little bit
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: surprising and a little bit worrisome for Miles Sanders. But
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: let's start with Breese Hall, who look the leash is off.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: No more snapcounts, no more limits. I also means you
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: could probably take a bite of Dovin Cook. But the
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: good news is Breese Hall full go against a bad
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: Broncos defense.
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, and It was a good sign last week to
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: see him lead the backfield and carries, routes, targets, all
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: of that now no snapcount, like you said, and just
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: in time for the best possible matchup a running back
• 17:04
  Speaker 3: could have the Denver Broncos. Not only have they allowed
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: the most rushing yards, it was over one hundred more
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: than any other team entering Week five, they've allowed the
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: most touchdowns and are top five in receiving yards, touchdowns
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: and catches allowed two running backs. I'm hoping for a
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: vintage maybe Breese Hall's best game as a pro.
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: So far as what I'm hoping, I would like that.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: That would be fun. I would enjoy that. Jamiir Gibbs,
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: you mentioned how it pained you to put him on
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: the set list, and we keep wanting bigger, better things
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: for Jamiir Gibbs. We were told that they were going
• 17:36
  Speaker 2: to use him in ways we never imagined, and they
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: are right because I never imagined that he was going
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: to be playing second fiddle to David Montgomery. But what
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: is is, so we are sitting him against the Panthers.
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, for everything that you said, like right now, on
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: a per touch basis, he is averaging more yards per carry,
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: more yards before and after contact, more explosive runs. It
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: does not matter whatsoever. All the volume, all the goal
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: on volume especially is going to David Montgomery. Gibbs is
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: averaging just nine point seven Fantasy points per game, and
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: I think this is a game where the Lions will
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: have a lead, which scares me because when that happened
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: last week, David Montgomery ran thirty two times. So yeah,
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to get Gibbs out the laws.
• 18:19
  Speaker 2: If the Lions have a lead, it's going to be
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: the David Montgomery show. You better believe that. And that's
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: kind of what I'm thinking is going to happen this week.
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: Remandre Stevenson. I know Adam Rank still has high hopes.
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: He's still optimistic about Remandre, and God bless him for that,
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: because I want to be on that same train too.
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: I just cannot be. You have him as a sit
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: against New Orleans.
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he is yet to run for sixty yards in
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: a game this season, and then the past game usage,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: that's what we were hanging our head on for Remandre
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: Stevenson last year. He does not have more than ten
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: receiving yards in a game since Week one. Well, the
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: Saints are stingy against running backs altogether, but we saw
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: when the Patriots are playing in a close gamer with
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: a lead, that is when they like to get Ezekiel
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: Elliott more involved. We saw it in Week two against
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: the Jets, and that is my fear that we see
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: it again this week. I understand you maybe can't get
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: away from him, but if you have another option that
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: you feel pretty good about, I would.
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: We are happy to be joined once again by researcher
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: extraordinaire Rams Homer and man of floral print Shirts, LaQuan Jones.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Good to see again, LQ.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: What's up?
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: What's up?
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 19:22
  Speaker 4: It's Friday.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: I got my loud shirt on, So I feeling good, man,
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: feeling pretty good? All right, So if you're feeling so great,
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: how about you give us your five sleepers of the week. Listen.
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: Coming at number five, I got Michael Wilson. He's been
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: showing up and showing out these last two weeks. Man,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: he's been really impressive. I mean two hundred and thirty
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: seven receiving yards, he's second on the team. But what's
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: really standing out to me is this fourteen point eight
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: receiving yards per target, which is first on the team.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: So this guy's getting separation and he's making the difficult,
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: difficult catches. I mean, he's playing out wide and he's
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: also playing in the slide, which is great, but that
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: could be why Roano Moore hasn't been on the field
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: much because of Michael Wilson eating up that sly as well.
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: He's going up against his Bengals defense, who allowed a
• 20:02
  Speaker 4: receiving touchdown to a wide receiver in each of the
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: last three games. But man, these guys that were scoring
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: those touchdowns, they were wide receiver two, wide receiver three
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: type guys, not number one. So Michael Wilson he has
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: a chance this week and coming in at number four,
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: I got Jayden reid Man. He's another rookie that's been
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: standing out to me, Man, what can't this guy do?
• 20:20
  Speaker 4: Jet sweeps, contested catches downfield, He's standing out. He's jumping
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: off the paper right now. But he's averaging eleven and
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: a half Fantasy points per game right now. He's been
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: on the hot and cold streak the last couple of weeks.
• 20:31
  Speaker 4: But I like this Raiders defense. They're kind of a
• 20:33
  Speaker 4: mid of ale pack defense, and he has the upside
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: to make the big plays. I mean, he has seven
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: targets of twenty plus air yards, which is tied seventh
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: in the NFL. And we've seen last week the Raiders
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: give up some really big passes to Josh Palmer closing
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: out the deal. But listen, I really feel like this
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: is the opportunity for Jordan Love and Jayden Reid to
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: connect downfield. He has a healthy twenty percent target share.
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: Not really worried about Christian Watson because he plays outside
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: and Red is eating up the slot. So I like
• 20:57
  Speaker 4: him this week as a sleeper. Next up, I got
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: John new Smith, the Falcons tight end one. I know
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: Kyle Pitts managers are not gonna like that, but man,
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: he's looked good. Last week he had a career high
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: ninety five receiving yards in a game. And did I
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: mention he's leading the Falcons in receiving yards right now,
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: which is crazy to think about, but he's looking like
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Desmond Ritters go to tight end. There's no other team
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: in the NFL right now there are a target and
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: a tight ends more than the Falcons. Thirty seven percent
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: target shared to this tight end the unit, which is crazy,
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: but going against this Texans defense were on the road
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: going into the Falcons house, and hopefully we can get
• 21:31
  Speaker 4: a better version of Desmond Ridder because he's four to
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: oh at home. So let's get some points to John
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: the Smith this week. And coming up next, we got
• 21:38
  Speaker 4: Zay Flowers going against this Pittsburgh Steelers defense. He's electric man,
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: a home run ability at any point, an explosive playmaker.
• 21:45
  Speaker 4: But I know the fantasy points have been on snooze
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: as of late, but I think this is the game
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: where they wake up against the Steelers defense who's allowing
• 21:52
  Speaker 4: the second most fantasy points per game to wide receivers
• 21:55
  Speaker 4: in the most completetions of ten plus yards by the way,
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: So this is an opportunity for Lamar and Fers to
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: go down the field and make the big plays. And
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: there's no question here whatsoever about the volume. I mean,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: he's leading the team in targets with a twenty eight
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: percent targets here. That's elite. Zay Fowers light the Pittsburgh
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: Steelers up this weekend, please and thank you now and
• 22:13
  Speaker 4: to going.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: To my sleeper.
• 22:15
  Speaker 4: As crazy as sounds, Zach Wilson against this bad, bad,
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: bad Denver defense man, he looked good last week against
• 22:23
  Speaker 4: the Chiefs. Man, he's gaining some confidence. He had a
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: career high one hundred and five point two passer rating,
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: which is great.
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: Man.
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: He looked cool, common collected. He made better decisions with
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: big Bro up in the skybox watching them. Man Rodgers,
• 22:35
  Speaker 4: there's pressure, but hey, pressure mixed diamonds. He made some
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: big boy throws. So going against this Denver defense man,
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: they're bad against quarterbacks. They're allowing the most fantasy points
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: two quarterbacks right now, in the most touchdowns. This could
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: be a game that could be a launch pad for
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: Wilson to set the tone for the rest of the season.
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: I believe in you, Zach. I believe in Zach Wilson too.
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: This week, I mean, it's gonna come back to Burners.
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: There's no way, there's no way, there's no way this
• 22:58
  Speaker 2: doesn't come back to Burners. But I believe Zach Wills.
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: This week. Also, when you said John new Smith, I
• 23:02
  Speaker 2: heard the sad prices right horn in my head bump.
• 23:07
  Speaker 2: Just because we all put our chips on Kyle Pitts again,
• 23:10
  Speaker 2: yees this year. All right, enough, tom me get excited
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: because we are putting on our finance. We're spraying on
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: the X body spraying. Let's say the guys that we
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: guarantee will score twenty five or more fantasy points this week,
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: So the kwand we handed back to you. Who's getting
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: into the club this week.
• 23:26
  Speaker 4: Listen, Joe Mixon's on his way to the club this weekend,
• 23:29
  Speaker 4: and you can tell by the shirt.
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: I'm rolling with him. Man, I'm definitely.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: Ryan with Mixing going against this Cardinals defense. We're allowing
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: the third most fantasy points for gaining to running backs
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: and they also have the fourth most mistackles in the
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: league right now. But more importantly, they're tied fifth with
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: the most receptions allowed to running backs. We saw Mixing
• 23:46
  Speaker 4: last season have a career high in targets, receiving yards,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: and receptions. So the Bengals really got a lean on
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: them with this banged up offense. You got T Higgins
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: deal with a rib injury, he's questionable, Joe Burrow not
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: playing at one hundred percent right now, so this would
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: be the time that the Bengals can lean on Joe
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: Mixon get more involved in the past game. So this
• 24:04
  Speaker 4: could be a Joe Mixon breakout game this week.
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: Listen to this.
• 24:08
  Speaker 3: Man when it comes to club and he's from the
• 24:10
  Speaker 3: same town as situation in Snookie.
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: He knows a thing or two about it.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: For me, I'm gonna look, I'm taking Devon ah Chan
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: because he's amazing. Like, I don't know what else I
• 24:21
  Speaker 3: need to say about that. He's basically averaging a visit
• 24:23
  Speaker 3: to Club Dub each and every week. Last week eight carries,
• 24:27
  Speaker 3: he turned it into over one hundred yards. He's being
• 24:30
  Speaker 3: used as the goal line runner there. He's playing more
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: snaps than raheem mostered, and he is being utilized in
• 24:35
  Speaker 3: the passing game. And I haven't even said anything about
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: the matchup he plays the Giants. Do I need to
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: say anything more? He is going to go off this week?
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: Make sure he is in your starting line up.
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: All right?
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: So Levon a Chan who has been the new hotness
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: and starting to get his name on the list at
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: Club Dub, I'm gonna go with Breese Hall. And you
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: know you heard Florio talk about him as a guy
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: on the start list this week. You heard El LQ
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: talk about to Zach Wilson being a sleeper. I like
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: the Jets offense this week. I don't know, I mean,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I do like the Jets offense. I also just like
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: going against the Broncos defense. I don't really care how
• 25:09
  Speaker 2: you figure it, but this is the week that we
• 25:11
  Speaker 2: see a lot of Breeze Hall. The training wheels are off,
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: there are no limits, there are no snap restrictions. It's
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: going to be a heavy dose of Breeze Hall going
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: against a bad defense. This is the week that the
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: Jets sort of make you believe. Now, mind you, they'll
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: probably snatch that hope away later in the season, but
• 25:25
  Speaker 2: for now, the Jets are gonna make you believe in
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: everybody who spent that draft capital on Breeze Hall. At
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: least for one week. You're gonna be happy you did
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: it when he's popping bottles in Club Dub. Before we
• 25:38
  Speaker 2: get out of here, we do want to say thank
• 25:41
  Speaker 2: you and goodbye to one of our own, our own
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: Parker Fenton, who has been with us for years and
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: is law off to bigger and better things. Whether it's
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: this show, whether it's the NFL Fantasy Football Show, any
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: of our streaming shows. We could not have done them
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: without Parker's wonderful help. So we love you, we miss you,
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: we wish the best for you. In Florida. What means
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: there's one less Bills fan here to support you every week.
• 26:03
  Speaker 3: Who am I gonna come in and talk to you
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: on Mondays after the Bills lose? Now, I don't know,
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: but yeah, we're gonna miss Parker, Gonna miss Parker's dad
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: so much. The Fenians are an amazing family in Parker.
• 26:15
  Speaker 3: It's been a pleasure and an honor to work with
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: you and best of luck.
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: One hundred percent. We are completely going to miss you,
• 26:20
