[SPEAKER_01]: Good morning, friends, and enemies.
0:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Welcome into the wide receiver, preview episode of the week.
0:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Week A Fantasy football, we are going game by game, talking through every single fantasy relevant receiver.
0:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Whether they are a start, whether they are a sit, or whether they are a flex.
0:17
[SPEAKER_01]: option for you all right.
0:18
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going through injuries.
0:19
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going through routes run snap counts offensive line EPA everything that you need to know about Vegas props etc We do the exact same thing for running backs every single Wednesday.

[SPEAKER_01]: So make sure you subscribe to the channel if you are new and you enjoy this video all right
0:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's get into it.
0:35
[SPEAKER_01]: Kicking things off with the game tonight.
0:36
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a night football Carolina at Green Bay.
0:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Green Bay three and a half point figure.
0:41
[SPEAKER_01]: It's 47 and a half point total here.
0:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Should get some good football weather all around.
0:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So no worry about the conditions or the environment or the elements out there.
0:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The only real concern here would be if Matthew Golden
0:55
[SPEAKER_01]: didn't end up shooting up he was DNP on Monday Tuesday, but did get a limited practice in on Wednesday with a shoulder injury.
1:01
[SPEAKER_01]: So he is trending in the right direction.
1:03
[SPEAKER_01]: And to be honest with you, this one feels pretty easy.
1:06
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm starting everybody in this game.
1:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Ted Jalen Coker, Christian Watson Matthew Golden.
1:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So the top two receivers.
1:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think we're missing the forest for the trees here for debating between must start and feels good.
1:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think they're all on that borderline of
1:16
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the bottom of the Mustard category, top of the field is good category, you know, I feel best about Christian Watson.
1:22
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel really good about tech.
1:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Feel really good about poker despite his, you know, his down game last week.
1:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, you know, the Panthers offense are just going to have those types of down games, but I, uh, not worried about either of these offenses, not worried about any of the playmakers in these offenses long term.
1:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So argue with yourself about whether or not they should be in Mustard or feels good.
1:40
[SPEAKER_01]: the Panthers still without their top two cornerbacks in J.C. Horn and Mike Jackson.
1:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Green Bay has had a better secondary than probably given credit for at this point in the year, but I still think it's a game where I just want the talented pieces in what could end up being a shootouts.
1:55
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll move to the Sunday games.
1:55
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got Tennessee at Cincinnati, Cincinnati 10.5, it's 46 and a half point total here.
2:01
[SPEAKER_01]: No debates about Jamar and T. Higgins going straight into your lineup as most stars from our chase didn't practice on Wednesday, but
2:10
[SPEAKER_01]: The only player you are thinking about on the tight inside of things is Cornell Tate and he's going to be a dub flex.
2:15
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy who's obviously shown a ton of ceiling this year.
2:18
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a guy that's shown good chemistry with Cam Ward, even in games where Cam Ward doesn't throw for many yards.
2:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Cornell Tate is the biggest percentage of routes, yards, touchdowns, receptions, all that kind of thing.
2:29
[SPEAKER_01]: The biggest concern I have is Cornell Tate seeing a ton of DJ Turner who is just a top tier cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals here.
2:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'd actually imagine he sees a lot of that.
2:38
[SPEAKER_01]: coverage takes going to be in your lineup.
2:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, that's more of just like, you know, getting picky a little bit where it's like, if you're playing DFS or whatever the case may be, uh, I could see if Tate had, I could see Tate having a down game just because he's going, he's going to see a ton of DJ Turner in this one.
2:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Juan del Robinson, you can make the argument to be in the shake to flex category.
2:55
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's no one else that we have our eyes in on for Tennessee at
3:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Cincinnati moving to an exciting game here.
3:02
[SPEAKER_01]: We got Arizona at the Dallas Cowboys.
3:04
[SPEAKER_01]: 54 and a half point total.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They're in Dallas.
3:07
[SPEAKER_01]: They're in the dome.
3:08
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got two shitty defenses.
3:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got two high volume passoffences.
3:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, CD lamb goes in the Mustard George Pickins.
3:15
[SPEAKER_01]: Should have an explosive day as well.
3:16
[SPEAKER_01]: He goes right into that feels good category.
3:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Despite Michael Wilson having a bunch of down games, 53 and a half receiving yard total per Vegas this week, I I'm giving him another like
3:28
[SPEAKER_01]: high-end shot here.
3:29
[SPEAKER_01]: I still feel really good about him in my lineup this week.
3:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it has not come to fruition.
3:32
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been the Tramic ride show.
3:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You do now have Jalen Brooks out for the year.
3:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Does that matter?
3:37
[SPEAKER_01]: They signs a Jones.
3:38
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really think it matters one way or another.
3:40
[SPEAKER_01]: What does matter and the only thing that probably matters is that he's going against the Dallas Cowboys defense in a game where the point total is going to be 54 and a half.
3:47
[SPEAKER_01]: Dallas is going to score a shit ton of points.
3:49
[SPEAKER_01]: Arizona, this is going to be one of those classic games where Jacoby
3:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Michael Wilson, going to see double the guitar kits in this game, so put them in your lineup.
3:57
[SPEAKER_01]: If you have them, the other two guys, Fanoi and Kendrick Bourne seem similar to me in that like, you could definitely flex them if you need to, because the matchups are really good.
4:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Fanoi actually saw a season high in Snaps last week.
4:10
[SPEAKER_01]: George Pickins was not out there for any of the run Snaps.
4:13
[SPEAKER_01]: he was kind of dogged by shot andheimer saying that he needs to put more effort in on running plays and then because of that he didn't really play much in those instances, which obviously doesn't convert to fantasy, but it does give Flanoy the option of being on the field a little bit more often when they audible out of those plays, they check out of those plays, maybe it's more passing for him, Kendrick Boren.
4:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just a guy who's seen a good amount of targets, obviously he's going to have low floors because of the talent level of player he is and we saw that kind of comfort fruition last week, but that was a very tough match against the Denver Broncos and the schedules obviously lightning up here with the Dallas Cowboys and in the games over the last last three games, you know, Marvin Harrison, not there, six targets, eight targets, eight targets, very low A dot targets, but still he's a guy in PPR that I think will give you a floor in this
5:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we got Minnesota at Detroit, 46.5 point total, playing in the dome in Fort Field.
5:06
[SPEAKER_01]: Detroit, I think this will be a game where Detroit.
5:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, you know, they're going to face a ton of pressure.
5:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Minnesota's past defense is incredible.
5:13
[SPEAKER_01]: They're overall defenses awesome awesome, but love when they play in Fort Field, man.
5:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Per Drop Back, which is obviously Jamos, bread and butter here.
5:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm still probably going to have Jamison Williams in my lineup for the most part, but really tough matchup, of course.
6:01
[SPEAKER_01]: For the Vikings, of course, we're going to have Justin Jefferson in our lineup, despite the downweigh, she's still a very efficient receiver.
6:06
[SPEAKER_01]: They just haven't like popped off yet.
6:08
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great match.
6:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to see Troy, though, they did get Brian Branch back last week, which does make a big difference in the secondary.
6:14
[SPEAKER_01]: It does.
6:15
[SPEAKER_01]: sound like Kirby Joseph is close to returning.
6:18
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if that's gonna be this week.
6:19
[SPEAKER_01]: They opened his 21 day practice window and he did get a limited practice in on Wednesday.
6:23
[SPEAKER_01]: But obviously, when you're coming off of an injury that costs you half of the season, you're probably gonna be slowly ramped up.
6:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So I would say possibility for him to be back this week, obviously a major major upgrade to have both him and Brian Branch, kind of ball hocks on the field at the same time, but Jefferson's in your lineup.
6:41
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, Jordan Addison, you'd love to be like,
6:45
[SPEAKER_01]: He's like a fake version of James and Williams at this point, him in Kyle and Murray have shown very little chemistry.
6:50
[SPEAKER_01]: He's shown almost no production at this point, so he's a very, very shaky flex.
6:53
[SPEAKER_01]: His numbers are still like borderline respectable in Vegas, and it's likely due to the matchup here, 39 and a half receiving yards higher than Kendra Born, higher than Flanoy, higher than Wanda Robinson, but definitely not enough consistency there to get him into that dub flex.
7:07
[SPEAKER_01]: category for us.
7:09
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got the fire cell, the Indianapolis Colts at the Jacksonville Jaguars here.
7:13
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jags are 10 point favorites, 46.5 point total.
7:16
[SPEAKER_01]: The Colts defense is going to be so, so bad, if you're getting rid of the Forest Buckner here.
7:21
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Oscarner did get in a limited practice on Wednesday.
7:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So, it does look like he is trending in the right direction to return possibly from the calf injury that cost him a couple of games here.
7:30
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I think that would matter,
7:33
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, his lines aren't up to the par of like the Mustard guys, but I don't care.
7:37
[SPEAKER_01]: There's just not a world where he's not like a top 12 receiver for me.
7:41
[SPEAKER_01]: We can a week out, especially not when they're planning to get to Indianapolis cults.
7:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a quick look at the weather, however, moderate rain and 15 mile per hour wind.
7:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So we do have
7:52
[SPEAKER_01]: have some kind of shitty weather on the horizon for the Jacksonville Jaguars down there in Florida.
7:57
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a 60-ish percent chance of rain, 15-ish mile per hour wind, so could affect the deep ball for sure, which is sort of where like Parker Washington kind of excels when he has his high ceiling games.
8:07
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like Trevor Lawrence kind of just fading it up to him in one-on-one coverage.
8:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Rather, Parker Washington is in your lineup.
8:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Jacobi Myers, he's a guy that I've kind of been flexing in some of my leagues, just because, you know, he has good games here and there.
8:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We saw that before the buy, where he ended up having 13, 15 points.
8:20
[SPEAKER_01]: And those kind of are his ceiling games, unfortunately, and his floor is kind of low because their games were like Parker Washington, based on two in Britain's strange, just sort of take over.
8:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But again, I really do like to match up.
8:30
[SPEAKER_01]: I imagine they go a very, very heavy dose of the ground game here.
8:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So he finds himself more in the shaky flex category, but I probably play him over all the guys down here.
8:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I do have a decision to make in one of my leagues between Jacobi and Kendrick Bourne, but I'm very likely going to lean in Jacobi Myers's favor.
8:46
[SPEAKER_01]: Might depend on if saucecarner is back in action and or the weather takes an uptick that makes it even worse down there for them.
8:52
[SPEAKER_01]: For the cults, tough situation to decipher here.
8:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jags defense has been more of a pass funnel though, you know, they do have guys on the other end.
9:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Like Travis Hunter, absolutely a guy.
9:02
[SPEAKER_01]: Keenan Allen is going to see a bunch of Travis Hunter.
9:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't feel good about that match-up whatsoever out pierce is not back on the field, but obviously with the fire cell going on Josh Downs reported Lee requested a trade I'm curious to see one if that happens before the weekend it feels Probably a little aggressive to see that happen within the next two days.
9:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Secondly, he just hasn't been very good third up
9:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, we did see, you know, now that they're kind of in fire sale mode, we saw Jonathan Taylor have kind of a decrease in snaps in the decrease in touches last week.
9:33
[SPEAKER_01]: I wonder if they kind of give Josh down's the same treatment.
9:35
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know if they have the luxury of doing that, given the fact that they have like nobody else at wide receiver right now.
9:40
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think that's also within the range of outcomes that we see a decrease in play time because one Josh downs might not be part of their future to Josh downs.
9:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They might not want to get that guy hurt all that kind of stuff.
9:50
[SPEAKER_01]: So downs would be a shaky flex for me.
9:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Keenan Owens probably shaky flex as well, but I like him above down, just because he's outproduced him.
9:57
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think you have to kind of weigh the risks of Josh Downs with the possible decreased snap counts with the possible trade coming.
10:04
[SPEAKER_01]: All that kind of stuff, obviously, the zero of it, if it gets traded by the time, you guys see this and over the next couple of days.
10:10
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm filming this very early Thursday morning.
10:11
[SPEAKER_01]: So we don't have Thursday morning practice reports, and obviously anything happens, Thursday Friday or Saturday won't be included in this video, but our rankings
10:19
[SPEAKER_01]: on the site bge.co, or always updated in real time for any of the news that happens, injuries, trades, whether updates, et cetera.
10:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you're a fantasy member on bge.co, you'll be, you'll have access to all of this information, whether it's the Vegas player props, whether it's the matchup data, the spreads of the game, the weather, all that stuff is updated in real time.
10:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So Keenan and Josh downs, both shaky flexors for me, I'm not looking to put anyone else in this game, in my lineup.
10:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got the Raiders at the New York Jets.
10:48
[SPEAKER_01]: Good weather out here and met life for, you know, the second time and possibly the last two years.
10:53
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a 45 and a half point total.
10:55
[SPEAKER_01]: The Jets are one and a half point favorites here.
10:58
[SPEAKER_01]: We have the Jets as a few guys that you feel okay starting.
11:02
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you got Garrett Wilson, you got Omar Cooper who's kind of blasting off as a rookie right now.
11:07
[SPEAKER_01]: Back to back really good games.
11:08
[SPEAKER_01]: Garrett Wilson, I mean, you know,
11:10
[SPEAKER_01]: It's terrible to see what's happening out there.
11:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I do think you have a little bit of the frustrated player like squeaky wheel narrative for Garalson.
11:17
[SPEAKER_01]: So I don't imagine he's going to be fed in this in this game.
11:20
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a really good matchup.
11:21
[SPEAKER_01]: The Raiders, bottom 8 and EPA, per pass aloud, bottom 4 and success rate per pass aloud.
11:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So despite the down games from Wilson, I think him and Gino are going to be...
11:29
[SPEAKER_01]: kind of force feeding the connection between each other there.
11:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Omar Cooper, his Vegas lines 40 and a half, three and a half receptions.
11:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Adam and Mitchell did have his first game back last week, but took a very, very severe back seat to Omar Cooper there.
11:42
[SPEAKER_01]: So it seems like Omar Cooper is the clear wide receiver too.
11:45
[SPEAKER_01]: I was a little bit effy and shaking on whether or not that would happen.
11:48
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think there was a little bit of risk baked into Omar Cooper last week.
11:51
[SPEAKER_01]: It does feel like Omar Cooper has the job.
11:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Though, I wouldn't be surprised if maybe 80 Mitchell's getting a little bit more ramped up, not to be the two here, but to be, you know, maybe like the two B to Omar Cooper's two A.
12:01
[SPEAKER_01]: And again, you do have the Vegas total here, 40 and a half, three and a half receptions.
12:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there are going to be games where garables and gets 10 plus targets.
12:08
[SPEAKER_01]: There's the return of Breeze Hall likely this week against the Raiders.
12:11
[SPEAKER_01]: You can see them going with a very, very run heavy game plan here.
12:15
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think the weekly target floor can be very, very low for a guy like Omar Cooper.
12:23
[SPEAKER_01]: for him.
12:23
[SPEAKER_01]: 80 Mitchell, of course, is a rather not until and if we ever see him kind of retain that wide receiver, two roll doesn't seem like it's happening when you draft the guy like Omar Cooper in the first round and you start to see him be as efficient as he's been over the last couple of weeks.
12:37
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, it's a great sign for a dude who seems like a legit NFL playmaker at this point.
12:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Trey Tucker.
12:43
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, he's been there.
12:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Why does he ever really, they're two because Brock Bowers is basically playing the widers, he ever won position in the way he's being lined up and in this formation of Michael Mayers, the tight end one.
12:52
[SPEAKER_01]: So, Tucker, you guys know, he's a boom bust receiver.
12:54
[SPEAKER_01]: I think I would like debate him between Jacobi Myers.
12:57
[SPEAKER_01]: Like I might throw him over.
12:58
[SPEAKER_01]: I still don't feel confident about Trey Tucker.
13:00
[SPEAKER_01]: It's like a dub flex every single week because I do think his floor is really, really low.
13:03
[SPEAKER_01]: But it's a relatively good matchup and I would probably start him over almost all the guys in the shaky flex category.
13:08
[SPEAKER_01]: But I definitely don't look at him in the same tier as guys like Cornell Tate
13:12
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got the Cleveland Browns at the Pittsburgh Steelers, a 39.5 point total here.
13:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Steelers are 3.5 point favorites.
13:20
[SPEAKER_01]: You got DK and Jeremy Bernard.
13:22
[SPEAKER_01]: DK is going to have a tough match up against Den's award, of course.
13:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, DK has really had about like two good games this year.
13:27
[SPEAKER_01]: One of them did come against Cleveland.
13:29
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't want to write it off that quickly.
13:31
[SPEAKER_01]: I will say though, he did almost nothing for the first three quarters of that game and then kind of just had a big fourth quarter.
13:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So it doesn't feel overly predictive.
13:39
[SPEAKER_01]: By a DK, I'm I'm still starting him over the shaky flex guys.
13:42
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll throw him into the dub flex category.
13:44
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll throw Denzel Boston in there.
13:46
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll throw Jeremy Bernard in there and I'll throw Casey concepts on in there.
13:49
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually think despite the game total 39 and a half.
13:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel relatively okay about any of these guys in my flex.
13:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Casey can set the own as been seeing really high target numbers.
13:59
[SPEAKER_01]: The last time the Browns played the Steelers, uh, conceptione and eight targets, then they'll boss in at seven targets, caught four of them for around 90 yards.
14:07
[SPEAKER_01]: So it was a big place happening there.
14:08
[SPEAKER_01]: This is the Steelers defense that you can definitely throw.
14:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Big plays against, 14th and explosive pass rate allowed per play.
14:14
[SPEAKER_01]: I think people are probably going to overemphasize the down game from Jeremy Bernard from last week.
14:19
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't really have major concerns about that one.
14:21
[SPEAKER_01]: They were playing in France.
14:22
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the weird game to expect consistency for any of these guys.
14:25
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, Michael Payton and Roman Wilson are still out.
14:27
[SPEAKER_01]: So I still imagine Metcalf and Jeremy Bernard are going to end up taking 50% of the targets in this offense.
14:33
[SPEAKER_01]: So I like all four of them.
14:34
[SPEAKER_01]: Enough to put them into the dub flex category and then move forward regardless.
14:38
[SPEAKER_01]: We have at
14:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Atlanta at Tampa Bay for the next game, a 44 and a half point total here.
14:43
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have some weather concerns here down in Florida.
14:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We had that with Jacksonville.
14:46
[SPEAKER_01]: We have a 70 plus percent chance of rain there, 12 mile power winds.
14:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're probably going to see some steady rain throughout the game there.
14:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Don't really think that weather update makes a huge difference for anyone outside of maybe like a Ted Hearst or like a Johan Dodson.
15:01
[SPEAKER_01]: But none of you guys were actually starting them because those are more downfield playmakers,
15:09
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have the return of Baker Mayfield.
15:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He only threw like 10 passes last game.
15:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the game script.
15:14
[SPEAKER_01]: They just dominated on the ground.
15:15
[SPEAKER_01]: They didn't have to throw the ball, which is great because as the week's go by is going to a healthier and healthier, the fact that he didn't have to throw the ball.
15:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously means that there was not going to be any sort of like reset or set back with the injury.
15:25
[SPEAKER_01]: So we're going to feel better and better about Baker Mayfield as the weeks progress.
15:29
[SPEAKER_01]: And I finally liked this spot for a boooka.
15:31
[SPEAKER_01]: It's been a nightmare right now.
15:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously for him this year.
15:33
[SPEAKER_01]: He missed last week's game with a concussion.
15:35
[SPEAKER_01]: It's also on the injury report for like a foot toe injury, but he was limited on Wednesday.
15:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I expect him to be good to go for this upcoming game.
15:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty good matchup against the Atlanta Falcons here.
15:44
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's going to go into the Dubflex category for me for sure.
15:47
[SPEAKER_01]: And then it's really hard to trust anybody else in this Tampa Bay passing game.
15:51
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think I'm going to throw everybody else into the
15:54
[SPEAKER_01]: rather not category just filled with the books in Tampa.
15:57
[SPEAKER_00]: Next up we got Baltimore at Buffalo.
15:59
[SPEAKER_01]: Definitely the most intriguing game on the slate this week.
16:02
[SPEAKER_01]: No questions asked.
16:03
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a 54 and a half point total here.
16:06
[SPEAKER_01]: All indications are that Lamar Jackson will be back under center for this one.
16:10
[SPEAKER_01]: He got a limited practice on Wednesday.
16:12
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that'll probably be the same on
16:14
[SPEAKER_01]: Thursday, but he is trending in the right direction.
16:16
[SPEAKER_01]: We have done concave with the limited on Wednesday.
16:19
[SPEAKER_01]: DJ Moore returned to practice with the limited after their buy.
16:22
[SPEAKER_01]: So all the skill players are trending in the right direction.
16:26
[SPEAKER_01]: This will be an awesome, awesome game as long as Lamar can get back under center.
16:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Say, flowers, of course, as a top five must start player with Lamar under center.
16:33
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a phenomenal match against Buffalo.
16:34
[SPEAKER_01]: As you can see, these single most fancy points allowed to the receiver position.
16:38
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, they score a lot of points.
16:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Other teams have to pass on them a lot.
16:40
[SPEAKER_01]: But have had a disastrous secondary.
16:44
[SPEAKER_01]: just green all around for that match up phenomenal.
16:46
[SPEAKER_01]: On the flip side, DJ Moore returning gets me really excited about him because the Baltimore defense has been fine.
16:53
[SPEAKER_01]: They've been okay through the air, but if they're scoring points with more Jackson, obviously, Josh Allen and the bills are going to be throwing the ball a lot.
16:59
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think when Josh Allen had to do more on the field, their passing offense just looked so much smoother.
17:03
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, they're great regardless of who's out there at wider silver, but it does look a little bit clunky at times when he doesn't have
17:11
[SPEAKER_01]: DJ Moore is going to go into the Doug Flex category, assuming he returns and he's going to be at the very, very top of it for me.
17:17
[SPEAKER_01]: There are not many guys in this category that I would start over him.
17:20
[SPEAKER_01]: I will gladly welcome him back into my lineup.
17:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, as you can see by the numbers on the left side here, Vegas is not very high hopes for any of the other players in this game.
17:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got Shakir, like, of course he can catch touchdown pass, but he's going to be a secondary player to concede and
17:37
[SPEAKER_01]: DJ more in this one.
17:37
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's a shaky flex.
17:39
[SPEAKER_01]: I get there's a lot of excitement for a guy like Keon Coleman who played really well with DJ more out.
17:43
[SPEAKER_01]: However, it's going to be the DJ more show when he is back on the field.
17:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So if you want to get cute, go for it.
17:48
[SPEAKER_01]: But he's going to be at the, you know, middle to bottom tier of the shaky flex options for me.
17:54
[SPEAKER_01]: And Jacoby Lane.
17:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't wait to see him with Lamar Jackson back under center, but not a guy that I'm going to be able to trust in this offense yet I do think there's definitely a possibility he goes like six for 60 and a touchdown in this game and then we're feeling really, really good about him going forward, especially matchups like this.
18:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can do worse than starting to co be laying.
18:12
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're definitely running a ton of three wide receiver sets, and it's hard not to trust Declan Doyle at this point, you know, through seven weeks of the season, he's looking phenomenal.
18:21
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he gets his targets pretty easy lab sear, but again, with Lamar back under center is going to be probably a lot of plays where he's running, but more importantly, he's say flowers are going to get double digit targets.
18:31
[SPEAKER_01]: when they're near the 10 yard line, it's going to be a lot of the Derrick Henry show.
18:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So Jacobi Lane can definitely eat up yards between the 20s here, but I just think it's important to be cautious.
18:39
[SPEAKER_01]: Because last week he played 75% of this Naps are ran around on 75% of Tyler Hartley's Dropbox, but Rashad Baton was right behind it with 73%.
18:46
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's a little bit hard to predict like who's going to be the one that sees a higher target chair between two of them if they're both on the field at all times.
18:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Something of the row.
18:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Shot Bateman to the rather not category moving to the four o'clock slate of games we have the chargers and we have the rams here forty five and a half point total rams are six and a half point favorites obviously down a lot of players on defense uh... who can a coup of courses must start player the other side of the ball is really what we have to figure out so we have laden McConkey who is
19:12
[SPEAKER_01]: seemingly returning from his absence, missed their pre-buy game with a concussion.
19:17
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have a look at the practice report here, Joe.
19:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Not even on the practice report, so it looks like he will be returning for this one.
19:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Durwin James, safety for the chargers, is doubtful for this upcoming game.
19:29
[SPEAKER_01]: Trey Harris got a limited in, so it does look like lad McConkey, Trey Harris, Quentin Johnson will all be
19:35
[SPEAKER_01]: good to go for week eight.
19:37
[SPEAKER_01]: For the ram side of things, I think Trent McDuffie coming back and getting a limited practice in is obviously huge because he's been one of if not the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
19:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Up to this point in the season, Colby Parkinson, being a DMP with a rib injury is definitely one to keep an eye out for that would obviously be a big boost for either the receiver or a guy like Tyler Higby in your lineups.
19:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Latman Conquie just, you know, impossibly impossible to trust at this point.
19:58
[SPEAKER_01]: We have no idea what this charges off and
20:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Despite all the injuries to the Rams defense are still a very, very tough past defense to get things going again.
20:06
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's going to the shaky flex category.
20:08
[SPEAKER_01]: We would definitely start him over guys like Flanoy, Wandell Robinson, Jordan Addison.
20:11
[SPEAKER_01]: I think like he's the top of it.
20:13
[SPEAKER_01]: If I had him, he's probably going into my lineup because you paid a lot of draft capital for him.
20:17
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think this is the right type of conversation to be having with him, unfortunately, just based on how the charges have looked.
20:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Can't really trust.
20:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Quentin Johnson or Tray Harris, unfortunately, can not have a mum field.
20:27
[SPEAKER_01]: I really don't hate if Colby Parkinson is out here, like sure he did almost nothing last week and his floor is so, so, so, so, so low.
20:34
[SPEAKER_01]: But I still think he's gonna run a shit ton of routes and this is a passing offense that eventually we're gonna want parts of and guys will just kind of take turn.
20:43
[SPEAKER_01]: So, wouldn't be his prize if he ends up having like a decent game.
20:46
[SPEAKER_01]: One of these upcoming games can't predict when it's gonna be, but like I wouldn't totally drop or write off mum field just based on his involvement in the game.
20:53
[SPEAKER_01]: should know that Tutu Outwell did run a bunch of routes in this one.
20:56
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's not a clear Mumfield is a wide receiver too, like him in Tutu or kind of I'll probably throw him into the rather.
21:01
[SPEAKER_01]: I apologize, but still y'all got the point.
21:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up we've got New England at Miami here.
21:06
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got all the Florida games with bad weather.
21:08
[SPEAKER_01]: This one seems to be no different here.
21:10
[SPEAKER_01]: 80% chance of rain, 10 to 15 mile per hour wins in this one.
21:13
[SPEAKER_01]: So could affect
21:14
[SPEAKER_01]: some of the deep passes here in Miami, but phenomenal matchup for the Patriots.
21:17
[SPEAKER_01]: Of course, 43 and a half points total on this one.
21:20
[SPEAKER_01]: The Patriots are seven point favorites.
21:22
[SPEAKER_01]: Drake may playing out of his mind, age around continuously not being able to show up for our fantasy teams.
21:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But I do imagine as the weeks progress, he will get healthier.
21:31
[SPEAKER_01]: and healthier obviously you know you can if and but should of would of you know PI here holding here a drop pass here and you could add much bigger days eventually we're just going to have to see it of course Vegas has him with a four and a half reception line 57 and a half receiving yardage line plus one forty five anytime touchdown line
21:49
[SPEAKER_01]: which is kind of on par with the DJ Moore's of the world, kind of on par like the Cornell Tate to the world.
21:54
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, you know, despite the phenomenal matchup, I think the weather is a little bit of concern here, just the way that AJ Brown has played up to this point in the years, a little bit of concern here.
22:02
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be in your lineup because he's playing the Miami Dolphins.
22:04
[SPEAKER_01]: They've allowed these single most EPA per drop-back success rate per pass.
22:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So it's phenomenal.
22:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the fantasy points allow to the position are very, very low and right right there, but that's more of a product of the other teams just beating the shit out of them
22:18
[SPEAKER_01]: at a high volume, but overall Brown's going to be in your lineup because the match is so, so juicy.
22:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Behind him, very, very difficult to trust anybody.
22:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, this was like what I was saying with Pop Douglas last week where people couldn't wait to get him into their flex spots, but it's like, we know we've seen Pop Douglas for four years.
22:32
[SPEAKER_01]: He has one or two good games, and then he completely flops for you.
22:35
[SPEAKER_01]: So, the only other consistent pass catchers that I like in the Patriots offense right now with Mac Collins and Romino Dubs on IR,
22:42
[SPEAKER_01]: would be Hunter Henry and Romandre Stevenson out of the backfield.
22:45
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, you could do worse in Pop Douglas, but I'm not excited to get him into my lineup here.
22:50
[SPEAKER_01]: For the Miami Dolphins, we saw last week Caleb Douglas made his return, and it's great to see that all he does is make plays when he's on the field.
22:58
[SPEAKER_01]: However, you know, Vegas clearly is looking at his production as a little bit flukey as lines are at 36.5 receiving yards.
23:05
[SPEAKER_01]: three and a half receptions.
23:07
[SPEAKER_01]: The Patriots will be at full strength with their corner backs, Chris Gonzalez, good to go.
23:11
[SPEAKER_01]: Carlton Davis returned to a full practice, so they'll have their top two corner backs on the field.
23:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It's also, you know, super scared to start a guy like Caleb Douglas one.
23:19
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to play a lot of routes on the outside, which means he's going to see a lot of Christian Gonzalez here.
23:23
[SPEAKER_01]: Last week, in the first game that really all three of these guys fully healthy have played together, Malik Washington led the trio with 85% of the routes run.
23:32
[SPEAKER_01]: Caleb Douglas was very, very close behind at 81% in Chris Bell at 69% so they're all in the field for a lot of drop-ax.
23:39
[SPEAKER_01]: The issue with Caleb Douglas, of course, is like he caught two balls last week, one of them went for a huge play, touchdown, had two touchdowns, right?
23:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Cought two balls, two touchdowns, 75 yards, huge fantasy day.
23:48
[SPEAKER_01]: The last time he played against San Francisco, obviously he got hurt, but he also had two catches for 19 yards.
23:53
[SPEAKER_01]: That is the kind of inconsistency that we're going to see from this Dolphins passing game.
23:57
[SPEAKER_01]: It makes it really hard to start any of these guys.
23:59
[SPEAKER_01]: So despite, you know, Caleb Doug was being awesome and making plays and looking really good in a very limited sample size, he's very, you know, anyone with a brain knows that he's more of a shaky flex and he is like a must-start kind of guy.
24:10
[SPEAKER_01]: with the weather, with the match against Patriots, with the low volume passing offense that they have, I'll put Malik Washington in the shaky flex category and since Chris Bell's kind of the odd man out, not making a ton of plays, not running a bunch of routes here, he goes into the rather not category.
24:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Next up, we've got Kansas City at Denver.
24:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Denver, one and a half point underdogs in this one, despite being in mile high, 40 and a half point total.
24:31
[SPEAKER_01]: We did have Rossi Rice return to practice yesterday.
24:35
[SPEAKER_01]: He got a limited in which does seem to mean that he is trending towards returning after the long awaited absence on the hamstring training that he suffered a few weeks ago for the Denver Broncos.
24:45
[SPEAKER_01]: We do have some high profile DNP here.
24:48
[SPEAKER_01]: We have Jalen Wattel who re-injured his chest injury, so it feels like he's probably more on the pessimistic side of playing there, but obviously we'll keep close eye on the practice reports, but I would have a backup plan if Wattel was in your line-ups thus far.
25:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Funga with the DMP Zach Allen with the DMP, so those are major major players for the Denver Broncos.
25:06
[SPEAKER_01]: If Roshie Rice goes, I mean, obviously this is a very, very difficult matchup.
25:11
[SPEAKER_01]: For me, being the Dumpflex category, like at the end of the day, the chiefs really have no one else in the passing game.
25:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Roshie Rice probably not good enough to be like a high.
25:19
[SPEAKER_01]: talent level player that separates from a dude like patzer tan off in et cetera, but they use them around the goal line.
25:25
[SPEAKER_01]: You do have the game last week where the seawks shut down Kenneth Walker, and you have to imagine that a lot of the teams going forward are just going to stack the box, because it's not like the chiefs have playmakers that can beat you over the top.
25:34
[SPEAKER_01]: So rush your ice, he's going to be in the dub flex category.
25:37
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he belongs in that like Cornell T. James and Williams type conversation where I don't feel great about him, but like you can definitely do significantly worse in your flex spots.
25:45
[SPEAKER_01]: obviously makes Xavier worthy, unplayable.
25:47
[SPEAKER_01]: The other side of things is sort of interesting.
25:49
[SPEAKER_01]: So you have Paparine selling the IR.
25:51
[SPEAKER_01]: Jaila Wattles, assuming he misses Coral and Sutton obviously kind of becomes the next man up.
25:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Now, it's a really difficult match of against the Chief's defense.
25:57
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think Sutton belongs in that like Ladmoconkey situation, where I don't think Sutton's like a poorly talented player anymore.
26:03
[SPEAKER_01]: This Broncos passing off into his atrocious.
26:05
[SPEAKER_01]: And I know Bo Nix had like,
26:07
[SPEAKER_01]: a solid fantasy bounce back last week, but two things.
26:11
[SPEAKER_01]: One, it was against the Arizona Cardinals.
26:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Two, almost all of his fantasy production came on two plays.
26:16
[SPEAKER_01]: It was like that 60-yard touchdown run, and then just like a dump-off screen to RJ Harvey.
26:20
[SPEAKER_01]: So don't let the fantasy point total kind of fool you of what this Broncos passing off ends is.
26:25
[SPEAKER_01]: But because the targets are going to be really condensed if you in the water and, you know, paparazzi is already out.
26:30
[SPEAKER_01]: Both of those guys are out like I don't hate Sutton as a flex buddy.
26:33
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, not going to feel great to have in your lineup because he's shown almost no upside whatsoever this year.
26:37
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think you'll see him get six to eight targets and, you know, he's a good red zone threat.
26:41
[SPEAKER_01]: So you can throw him into your line up.
26:42
[SPEAKER_01]: Anyone else like a Troy Franklin is not someone I'm interested in.
26:45
[SPEAKER_01]: Moving to Philadelphia at Washington Stain here for Sunday night football.
26:49
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a 40 and a half point total.
26:51
[SPEAKER_01]: The Washington commanders are six point favorites here.
26:54
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously, Jayden Daniels is under center.
26:56
[SPEAKER_01]: Terry McLaren is out for this game and out for the season, which makes the Washington pass catchers.
27:00
[SPEAKER_01]: Pretty interesting here.
27:01
[SPEAKER_01]: Unfortunately, Vegas really has no idea what to do with them.
27:04
[SPEAKER_01]: They're kind of just throwing their hands up.
27:06
[SPEAKER_01]: You have digs 41.5 yards here.
27:09
[SPEAKER_01]: You got Antony Williams 35.5 yards trail on Berks 22.5 yards.
27:13
[SPEAKER_01]: I would imagine if we went to tight ends that Chicago Conco would probably be somewhere in that like 33 to 40.5 yards range as well.
27:19
[SPEAKER_01]: So they're all just like, okay, decent players in a very, very, very good matchup.
27:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, clearly we feel best about Seth on digs.
27:26
[SPEAKER_01]: I think he probably steps into the Alpharol.
27:28
[SPEAKER_01]: But how consistent that's going to be on a week basis in terms of what the passing volume is for Jade and Daniels again, and a 40 and a half point total doesn't really suggest that they're going to throw the ball.
27:38
[SPEAKER_01]: A ton, I think guys in this offense will kind of take turns on who's weak it is.
27:42
[SPEAKER_01]: But the Diggs does feel like he has a nice four of like.
27:46
[SPEAKER_01]: 5 for 54 for 50 something like that and you know probably score in a touchdown maybe every other week will probably be the guy who gets the most targets there.
27:53
[SPEAKER_01]: I still feel relatively good about Antonio Williams as well.
27:55
[SPEAKER_01]: I think as a pretty decent floor is going to run a ton of routes.
27:59
[SPEAKER_01]: I imagine he's going to be a 75 to 85% snap player here.
28:02
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think he probably has a little bit more ceiling than giving credit for as well.
28:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Last time they played the Eagles, I think that was the game where he snapped off like an ADR touchdown that ended up getting called back because of a penalty.
28:12
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think Antony Williams will have his days in the spotlight over the second half of the season with Terry McLean out.
28:18
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's going to be in the shaky flex category for me.
28:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's not someone that I view as a mustarder.
28:23
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm like super excited to get into my flex spot, but you can definitely do worse at the flex position.
28:28
[SPEAKER_01]: Then Antony Williams,
28:31
[SPEAKER_01]: and then trailing Berks dealing with a shoulder injury limited practice, I think he probably trends towards suiting up and he can definitely be a big playmaker like he's one of those guys that gets a couple deep shots of game from Jayden Daniels.
28:43
[SPEAKER_01]: If they connect, he's like the fantasy player you want, but obviously super, super low on the confidence scale there.
28:49
[SPEAKER_01]: For the Eagles, we're going to have Tanner McKee at quarterback once again.
28:52
[SPEAKER_01]: Wednesday, practice reports.
28:53
[SPEAKER_01]: Demount this myth and don't have you in wicks.
28:55
[SPEAKER_01]: Both missed once again with their hamstring injuries.
28:58
[SPEAKER_01]: So looks like it is trending towards them both not shooting up, but obviously we'll keep an eye on practice reports.
29:03
[SPEAKER_01]: Thursday, Friday to see if they can get practice in there.
29:06
[SPEAKER_01]: In their absence, McIleman obviously stepped up and had a really big fantasy day.
29:10
[SPEAKER_01]: Last week, I imagine that's going to be the case going forward if those two are out.
29:14
[SPEAKER_01]: And
29:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you're getting a really, really strong matchup against Washington here.
29:17
[SPEAKER_01]: There's six point hundred dogs going to have to throw the ball a lot.
29:19
[SPEAKER_01]: No idea what the running back status is there.
29:21
[SPEAKER_01]: Sake one Barclay, nursing multiple injuries.
29:24
[SPEAKER_01]: Every everyone behind them is dead on the IR.
29:26
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really like McIleman this week.
29:28
[SPEAKER_01]: You got the increase in snaps, the increase in routes.
29:31
[SPEAKER_01]: You have an offense that's probably going to throw the ball a lot more than they did.
29:34
[SPEAKER_01]: With Jalen Hertz there, you got a bunch of running backs.
29:36
[SPEAKER_01]: Her, you have nobody else at receiver competition for him.
29:39
[SPEAKER_01]: So,
29:39
[SPEAKER_01]: But Kai lemon's a deaf guy that I would be happy to have in my flex this week.
29:44
[SPEAKER_01]: Darius Cooper, shaky flex guy, you know, can always pop for a big play or a big game, but not counting on it.
29:50
[SPEAKER_01]: And the last game of the week, we've got Monday to football, Chicago at Seattle.
29:55
[SPEAKER_01]: So there'll be traveling to Lumen,
29:57
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a 46 and a half point total here.
29:59
[SPEAKER_01]: First game of Quentin Nelson.
30:01
[SPEAKER_01]: The C-Ox will have, there are three point favorites here.
30:04
[SPEAKER_01]: It's gonna be a fun matchup for sure.
30:05
[SPEAKER_01]: Excited to see if the Seattle defense can shut down this high power Chicago offense.
30:10
[SPEAKER_01]: One thing we don't need to wonder about is Jackson Smith in Jigba.
30:13
[SPEAKER_01]: He will be a must-start behind him.
30:15
[SPEAKER_01]: You're not playing anyone in Seattle's offense.
30:18
[SPEAKER_01]: Chicago side of things is the one we've got to figure out.
30:20
[SPEAKER_01]: Glute the burden is heating up.
30:22
[SPEAKER_01]: He's awesome.
30:22
[SPEAKER_01]: But Seattle's pasty.
30:24
[SPEAKER_01]: As you can see, I mean, just right across the board, just an appetizing plate for a bull here.
30:30
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got dead-lass and fantasy points allowed to the receiver position.
30:34
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got 30 first in EPA, per pass allowed, 30 first in success rate, per pass allowed.
30:40
[SPEAKER_01]: You've got 30 second dead-lass and explosive pass plays allowed on the season.
30:45
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got a great pass rush, they've got a really strong secondary.
30:48
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got playmakers at every part of their defense, obviously.
30:52
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm very much willing to just ride the hot streak of Luther Burden, however.
30:55
[SPEAKER_01]: He's a dude where you can kind of just get the ball in his hands and let him make plays.
30:59
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not necessarily someone who I think is like dictated by the defense if that makes sense.
31:04
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, Roma Dunes, I feel a little bit more like who he's lining up against is going to be a problem for him.
31:09
[SPEAKER_01]: So Rome, he's got yips right now.
31:11
[SPEAKER_01]: He just doesn't have production.
31:13
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, it's all bad for him.
31:14
[SPEAKER_01]: So he's definitely in the shaky flex category for me.
31:16
[SPEAKER_01]: Luther Burton is someone that I want my line of 60 playing so so well and he's having, you know, that second year kind of explosion on the precipice of it.
31:23
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, there's no one else that we want to consider starting in this game.
31:26
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously the tight end Colson Lovelin wants.
31:28
[SPEAKER_01]: He's going to be in your lineup, but no one else from the passing stand points and I think that's going to take us home there So we're going to post their mode.
31:36
[SPEAKER_01]: We've got 11 must-start players six feels good players 14 Dubflex players a shitload of shaky flexors and 12 rather nuts no particular order for those tears But I kind of feel the same about all the guys in the tears together.
