 Injured reports are rolling in fast and there is plenty of news to dissect for week number five. We are here to take your questions live on air and also do a snake trap to get you said for week number five in the main slate over on Fanduil. This is the Snake Draft Q&A right here on the Fanduil YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, and Twitter channels. My name is Jim Sonnis. I am a senior writer and analyst for numberfire.com joined here as always by Brandon Godulla and JJ Zacharyson. We're doing a snake draft live on air for today to get you set for week number five. I forgot to update the banner with who won for last week but it was in fact JJ. And that's probably why I forgot to update it to JJ. Editor-in-Chief of Numberfire and Fanduil, you are up two, one, one in our snake draft. What is your level of confidence entering week five? I mean, considering I drafted from the upside down last week where I was, I was, you know, I had no internet, but I was able to do it through my phone still and got that W, needed that W because the week before was that, I think of a week before is the AJ Brown week where I had him and he only got 0.3 points. So yeah, I'm pretty pleased with how things ended up last week. Back on top. No one else said the undisputed lead outside of JJ so far this year. So we are scrambling to make up ground. Let's talk to you, Brandon Godulla, the managing editor of numberfire.com. Brandon, we've had a lot of weird injury news throughout the day. Dalvin Cook, questionable, got in a limited practice on Friday. Christian McCaffrey is doubtful. Zeke Elliott, technically questionable, sound like he's good to go, but a lot of injury news. So how are you viewing things here specifically with the Vikings running backs as of now? I think for a snake draft or for a salary cap? For a snake draft. Probably just gonna hope you guys take Dalvin. Let's try that. I think the concern of Dalvin is he may play but had the same role as last week where he played half the snaps, didn't get a ton of work. Like that's concerning to me. Yeah, you're asking me how I'm handling it. I'm saying I'm probably just gonna avoid it and let you guys deal with it. Maybe he just goes undrafted. That'd be something. The problem that you have is after Derek Henry is gone, the 1.02 is pretty tough to figure out. I think I know who I have there. I'm not sure if that is going to be universal. Actually, no, I think I changed my mind. Oh, who do you think? Yes, yes. Saquon? No, I changed my mind. It was him initially, but I've changed my mind. I have someone at the, I hope I get the 1.02 because I feel like I know who I want to get at 1.02. Okay, so you intentionally don't want Derek Henry. Okay. No, I mean I want Derek Henry, of course. Okay, so other stuff to discuss for today. Joe Nixon's still not officially out. We don't know what his status will be. JJ, I talked to Brandon about Samajie T. Ryan yesterday. I want to talk to you now. Our concern was that P. Ryan might not get passing game work with Chris Evans being there. And that's a massive ding to someone on FanDuel. So how would you use Samajie P. Ryan specifically relative to Damian Williams considering salary cap stuff over on FanDuel if we assume that Joe Nixon sits? Yeah, I have way more confidence in Damian Williams than I do Samajie P. Ryan. I think Williams is in store to be, you know, not quite David Montgomery in terms of workload and in terms of backfield share. But I think that you can get like 80 to 90% of that. Whereas Samajie P. Ryan, I mean, would we be shocked if we walked away from that game and since Natty and there was actually a 50-50 split between him and Chris Evans? I don't think that would be that crazy. You know, there was a people asking me last night before the Seahawks game, should I just play Alex Collins or should I go with Samajie P. Ryan? And to me, it was very obvious to go the Alex Collins. I know Alex Collins didn't have like this unbelievable game. But from a process standpoint, you know, I just, I don't think that Samajie P. Ryan is necessarily in this spot where he's number one a smash play. And this game could be a negative script for Cincinnati too, against Green Bay. And so like you mentioned, I mean, they've used Chris Evans at times already this season as a satellite back, wouldn't shock me at all if they do that again in this game. But even if they don't do that, I could see a scenario where it's like a 60-40 split where they're just like alternating drives or something like that. One final question before we go into the snake trap for you, Brandon, we seems pretty definitive that Trey Lance will start now, Jimmy Garoppolo didn't practice once again Friday. So now that we have a better idea that Trey Lance will start this game, he's gotten all the first team reps throughout this week, how are you viewing Trey Lance in terms of the salary cap at $6,900 on FanDuel? Yeah, it's a really nice salary for someone who ran seven times for 41 yards and a half last week. I mean, you and I went back and forth and back and forth and back and forth on Debo Samuel. I think his salary's a little bit too high on FanDuel, but if you pair him with Lance, that kind of counts with each other out. So I think it's kind of just arrow up on Lance, especially in a week where there's kind of two quarterbacks that we love. And then a massive cliff. And then a massive cliff and Lance is gonna be part of, I guess, someone like hanging on to like the middle of that cliff somewhere. Yeah. He's not down in the bottom, but... Yeah, I don't think that Lance sneaks in for the snake draft, given the concerns around his readiness to play. I mean, his experience level is very low. So it's easy to be skeptical there, but for salary cap, it does make a lot of sense. And I'm very curious who that third quarterback will be in this draft. Kyler Murray, Dak Kress Scott, very easy sales. After that, though, things do get a bit muddy. I think I know who I want third, but we'll have to see how things break in the draft. So JJ, why don't you go ahead and enter yourself in. Let's get the snake draft underway. I have a feeling I'm gonna get the... You just get 101. No, I'm gonna get the 102. Just wait, here we go. And I got the 101. Told ya. I get the 102, so I get the worst of it. Why is it refreshing for me? All right, I'm gonna refresh it. Yeah, probably just refreshing on me. Unless I didn't enter, it's impossible. Good to know you're in there. You're in there. Okay, just want to make sure. There's still 40 seconds left until we... I feel pretty good about 1.03. Maybe this is me coping. I didn't feel okay about it. I can tell you guys, I'm going Derek Henry with the 101. Wow, shocked. Smashed off. I know I'm always pessimistic, but I knew this was gonna happen, especially once JJ said he wanted the 102. I just willed it into... I mean, I had to play some reverse psychology against the world. And there's no consideration deviating from Henry, correct? Like there's no consideration. There's no consideration. I'm going Derek Henry 101. I do have... I mean, once we are done with the draft, I can tell you who I would have gone 102. We'll see what you guys end up doing with your picks, but all right, here we go. All right, so JJ will take Derek Henry first, which was Brandon the board at 1.02. What you doing? So I have... Well, I don't want to tip my hat too much here. You said you don't want to say Cuom, but I know you'll probably take them fourth. I actually have someone ranked higher than Saekwon. I know you're not gonna take him second because you can't, but like, I think I'm just gonna go with Saekwon here. I love this game. Okay, I would have taken Saekwon 1.03 behind Devonta Adams. So I wanted at 1.02. That was the one thing I didn't mind. That was my 102 as well. Yeah. Yeah, that was my 102, but... Saekwon wouldn't have gotten back to you. Yeah. I think now the tough part is, do I go with the guy who gets the yardage, but no touchdowns or all the touchdowns, but not as much yardage? I'll take the Tudys and we'll go there in Jones at the 1.04 for me. So double, double... Oh, Brandon, go ahead. Brandon, go ahead. All right. Sorry, kids. Yeah, I'm throwing off here. I'm not. I don't know. I don't know what to do with it. Got to learn some point. I don't like this game as much, but I just going to go with Austin Neckler here. I would have to. Yeah. I am going to go with who I... I think you could have considered this guy 102. I already talked about this. You guys know probably who I'm going to go, but I am trying to waste a little bit of time because I don't know how I'm going to get with the next one. But I'm going Zeke with the next brick to lock that up. And then it's really tough because I feel like there's just a giant tier of wide receivers for the most part. Like, I don't know if there's, you know, an obvious route to go there. Right. I might just... Man, this is rough. Yeah. It's a tough week. I'm just going to go with Justin Jefferson with the next brick. I think that's fair. And this formatory person... Kind of a safe route there because I had no idea what to do. I think that there are running backs you can consider. I just worry a little bit about like Camara's usage in general as a receiver right now. And I think that projection systems in general are kind of overstating Camara a little bit just given what we've seen so far. Not that I think he's a bad player or anything, but... I would have gone to DJ more if you hadn't. Okay. I'm just nervous about Dalvin to the point where I didn't want to take him there. Yeah. I'll take Camara. I didn't... For a salary cap format, he's not super tempting to me, but I think here I'll do it. And then after that, I kind of want to go with CD-LAM. Is that aggressive? I would say it's a bit aggressive. Okay. And I mostly said that because I wanted to take Game Stack there. Okay. Sorry to deprive you. Well, I didn't want to go with CD-LAM over DJ more. I wanted that Game Stack with Barkley. That's kind of why I took Barkley. I thought I had a little bit of flexibility with Game Stacks. Yeah. But I also couldn't go Zeke over Eckler. Now I'm kind of... Oh, boy. I don't want to go... Jim's going to roast me for this. Debo. I'm going to go Debo. You spent 16 minutes arguing with me between Monday and Thursday. Okay. So I have... Oh, Debo is not sustainable. And it's not sustainable to an extent. I have Mike Williams and Keenan Allen above him. I just couldn't... I didn't want to have two Chargers because I don't love that Chargers-Browns game enough. All right. I'm going Kyler. Depp. And I don't know how to... Here, I'm going to do what we... I'm just doing it. I want Dalvin. Okay. So if Dalvin gets ruled out, you can replace him. Yes. Yeah, we should have thrown that caveat out there. I will replace him with Alexander Madison. I should have taken him with that last hit. Hey, there you go. I should have. I know. Now you got it. You can just do... I mean, no one else picks before me. So... I know, but you have to figure out what you're dealing with for the third quarterback. I don't know, man. I don't know what I'm doing with this next pick. Like, I guess I'm going to go Keenan. Let's go Keenan. And then for quarterback for my final pick, I don't know, man. Like, I don't want any of these Gibronis. Maybe I just go Tom Brady or do I go Herbert to get the stack with Allen? Like the matchup, I could go Hertz. I should probably go Hertz. Let's go Jill and Hertz. I think he's the number three quarterback, not accounting for salary. It was between him and Brady. I think we're the two guys I would have most prioritized. Did you consider Rodgers there at all with your green bag guys? My game is so slow. I think I'm already a little bit too exposed to that game via those two guys. To be honest, I forgot they were on the same team I was making the 1.03 and 2.01 picks. But you know, oh well. I hate that I have to do that I'm doing this but I'm gonna pick Hopkins with the next pick. It's just his work in that offense has been so ugly but I need some correlation in this lineup. Yeah, and you get it with Arizona's wide or super three. Exactly. You forgot Rondale, he's larger than four. Yeah, exactly. Okay, so these are our rosters once my computer refreshes here. I don't know, man. I was pretty lost that entire time. This is the toughest draft that we've probably ever done. Like ever. It's the thinnest pool we've had. Like there's no Tyreek, there's no Kelsey, there's no cup, there's no woods apparently. There's no Metcalfe, like we're down so many guys. I don't wanna draft a lot of it. I mean like I guess my team's fine but like I don't feel great about it. Let's go to JJ first. You got Kyler stacked with Nuke, you've got Dalvin and if he is ruled out you can switch to Madison. Are you worried that Coke will play and just be limited is what's your concern level there? Yeah, that's definitely a concern but I'm just kind of see sort of how things work out and go. I mean, I don't think that I would have made that move if the matchup weren't as juicy and looking as good as it is for Minnesota's offense just in general to score points this week. You know, I would be a lot more hesitant if it was like, you know, like how Naji's facing Denver or something like that just some really ugly defense and ugly game in a rough defense to run on. So it's a little bit easier that even if Dalvin has 60% of the team's workload he could still score double digit points and be fine enough. And then, you know, I added him with Justin Jefferson just for that Minnesota onslaught a little bit. Didn't feel great about the Andre Hopkins for all the things we already noted. He's not seeing the type of target share that he's typically seeing or that we would want him to see as a true alpha but wanting to stack Kyler in some way get a little bit more correlation in the lineup and then obviously having Derek Henry there and Zeke who I think are two good anchors are running back. I'm okay, I'm fine enough with this lineup but I think it's mostly because I got lucky that I was able to get the 101 with Derek Henry. You mentioned that you were okay taking Zeke at 1.02 or like at least considering him in that range and I don't disagree with that but I want to hear your rationale. I think that that's correct but I want to hear your thought process behind that. Yeah, I mean, I think that it's one of those games this week that you could stack and it could be fairly high scoring. Zeke is playing not the role that we've seen him play over the last couple of years because he's not seeing as much work through the air but it's a Dallas team that they have an implied total like 29 points this week. It's a beatable defense. He's seeing a lot of goal line work. I mean, all of the above. So if they do see a positive script there and they do score points, you just want to be, you want to have that lead back in your lineup. So given the fact that there wasn't an obvious 102, I think Devonte Adams was the 102 and I think you can make a case for Saquon as well for sure. But in a half PPR format and setting, yes, absolutely receptions matter, absolutely volume through the air matters but we're also looking at sort of an outlier offense right now in terms of their efficiency and the way that they can score points and convert touchdowns. So I'm still high on Zeke week in and week out because he has two plus touchdown upside every single week. Speaking of Cowboys, Brandon, you got Dak Prescott as your quarterback and ran it back with DJ Moore here. I wish I had gotten Dak. I should have gone Dak Overseeding Lamb. I think that that was a mistake in my drafting because the fall off at quarterback was bigger than the fall off at Overseeding which is very much the opposite of what we usually have. I think this week it was, I made a mistake there. Any thoughts for you on your team? So I was considering Devonte at 102. I wanted access to stacks with the Giants Dallas games. That kind of was a tie break for me. I didn't really want to stack. The Green Bay game, I didn't really get to do that aside from Dak. I didn't want to reach for a lamb. I wasn't fully, I'm not fully willing to trust Amari Cooper right now and then I didn't get Zeke. So that was kind of the no-brainer for me once I knew once JJ took Kyler, I had to take Dak or else I was going to be stuck with that decision. Eckler, Swift and Barkley give me just three of the guys who were top nine and adjusted opportunities per game on my running back. So I feel good with that. DJ Moore, Debo Samuel basically kind of locked into like double digit targets. So I feel like there's a path to a win this week even though I don't have a ton of correlations. So all things considered, I think I got out of this one. You know, I feel pretty good even though there were a lot of back and forths and things that just, you know guys going right before, right after me when I really wanted. Toughest decision for me was deciding who to go at quarterback three. I want to hear what you guys would have done. I went Jalen Hertz just because the rushing is great from a floor perspective, but also gets in the ceiling. I'm, I bet the Panthers minus three to win this game. So I think, I don't think that they're going to win but I think that the components that Hertz provides are enough to still make him the quarterback three the guys I consider were Brady and Herbert's. JJ, where would you have gone with that third quarterback there? Yeah, I mean, I don't think there was an obvious answer. I still think you could have maybe considered Rogers too in that group, but yeah, I mean, I think in your position I probably would have gotten Hertz but I think that in, given your lineup you could have made an easy case for Justin Herbert as well in a game that, you know it's fairly attractive and you know you already had that Kenan Allen piece. Brandon, what would you have done quarterback three? Hertz, unless I was picking last and had or picking third and had kind of a double like a double dip and picking at the turn like you did I might have went Brady Godwin there to get a stack. Yeah, that's it. That's an offense that you and I basically didn't even talk about for the most part aside from like Leonard Fournette just because that spreads pretty massive but you know you can get like a 75th percentile outcome with the 10 point spread it's those like 90th percentile outcomes that are kind of harder. I'm not worried as worried about a 90th percentile outcome in a three person draft but I would have gone Hertz if I didn't have a stack I would have considered a Brady Godwin stack though. I think that's very fair. Let's go to some questions here and take your questions. You can send questions in via YouTube, Twitch, Facebook or Twitter will take them where everyone's sort of Joseph, he's asking would you drop or hold Justin Fields and now he's officially the star. We can say you should hold on to Fields now, Joseph but let's talk about Trey Lance versus Sam Darnall. JJ, who you got? Trey Lance or Sam Darnall than we five? I think Sam Darnall is a safer option. I don't think that we're gonna see what we saw with Justin Fields, his first start with Trey Lance for a lot of reasons. I mean, you have a completely different offensive scheme, offensive coaches that are smarter. You have better offensive line situation and you have better weapons and the game itself should be playing catch up and they're gonna have to be fairly aggressive. I think Trey Lance, Sam Darnall has shown a ceiling. I understand that. Part of that also though has to do with rushing touchdowns and such. I think that Trey Lance might still have a slightly better ceiling than Sam Darnall just because of ambiguity but I think Darnall is still probably the better option at least this week. I would still try to hold on to him to Lance. Don't drop him. I would prefer if you have all three of those guys on your team I think you could drop Fields in that case because I think Lance has a higher ceiling from here on out if he were to be the starter but if it's like a super flex leak or something or if you have to look at what your waiver wire looks like and see if you can get usable quarterbacks off the waiver wire to begin with because then you don't wanna drop a starting quarterback obviously but I do think that Trey Lance versus Justin Fields Lance has the ceiling versus Fields from here on out but if you need to play it a little bit more safe it's fine to keep Fields but I would probably play Darnall this week but it's close. I can make a case for either guy. Let's sit with Trey Lance here and talk to you to Nampa. I'll take this one. Any concerns about starting Trey Lance but also the Cardinals defense wouldn't this be capped upside is Tannehill a better alternative? I would be worried about the Cardinals defense for fantasy this week because I think the 49ers will probably be pretty run heavy. I know that doesn't matter as much for season long. We're talking, I tend to focus on DFS where I want upside. You don't get upside against run heavy teams. So I think you probably got better options in terms of streaming defenses. Like there are a lot of good options this week so I would check the waiver wire, start Lance at quarterback and then change out for your defense. Talk to Pat. What should Lockett and Metcalf roster people who rostered them do with uncertainty now surrounding Russell Wilson? So Russ's finger is gross. JJ, what are you doing with Lockett and Metcalf right now? I mean, these are the scenarios where obviously we're going to see a dip in production from Russ to Geno Smith even though Geno Smith looked decent last night. How dare you? Yeah, so like we're going to see a dip in production but literally everyone knows that. Like everyone knows that this is happening for DK, Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. So this isn't a scenario where you can say, oh, I'm going to just trade them away because everyone knows what's going on with Russell Wilson. So I think you just got to hold tight and kind of hope that Geno can move the ball. As he did, you know, against the Rams against a good defense. I mean, he did not look bad. It wasn't like a fluky thing at least in the small sample that we saw. You know, I thought that he looked pretty good. And so yeah, from that perspective, I think you just kind of have to hold and just hope that Geno Smith can come through. And Geno's not like Chase Daniel or anything. Like he's fine as a back of quarterback. So it's not like the bottom will totally fall out. And I think that's a good thing for those guys, especially because people will probably be, as you said, pretty concerned. Let's talk to Matt and let's talk to Brandon here. Is A.J. Brown a safe start this week or do you go to Jacobi Myers or Marquis Brown instead? A.J. Brown sounds like he's good to go, facing the Jaguars. No, Julio Jones this week. Would you use A.J. Brown over Marquis Brown or Jacobi Myers? Or I guess over both of them this week? Yeah, full practice on Thursday, which is a really good sign. I haven't projected the best of the three pretty easily in terms of floor and ceiling. So I would have really no issues with A.J. Brown. The main concern is just that Tennessee's become really run heavy. But with Brown back that should tick back up. They kind of really dip down without Julio and Brown. But I mean, between those three, I would go A.J. Brown. Okay, so I'm at the London game, J.J. Nate is asking with Calvin Ridley out, would you start Cordero Patterson and PPR over Jonathan Taylor, who has a tough matchup against Baltimore? I don't really know of Ridley being out, helps Patterson, because I think that it increases the odds that that offense craters, which decreases touchdown expectation, which decreases the outlook for everyone. But Patterson obviously is getting work. So would you start Patterson over Jonathan Taylor, who has his own issues from a usage perspective as well? Yeah, like I don't think that it's like a given. I think the way that we would probably see this, it's a given that Cordero Patterson is all of a sudden this like way, way better play with Al Calvin Ridley. You know, as you mentioned, I mean, they play completely different games. I like the matchup for Patterson, but I would still probably go with Jonathan Taylor. You know, it's an offense that hasn't utilized him the way that we would have won through the air, especially over the first few weeks of season. And the matchup obviously isn't that great. You run the risk of a negative game script. I understand all of that. But with Patterson, it's just like Brandon Senegrade tweet out today saying that he, since 2016, I think it was he's the leader and he's number four in like points per snap or something like that. And I mean, what Cordero Patterson is doing right now is just not very sustainable. He's still not playing a ton of snaps in that offense. They also got Wayne Gaulman involved a little bit last week, so who knows what that's gonna look like moving forward. I don't mind Cordero Patterson. I think that he's honestly like an RB2 type play this week. But I would still probably go with Jonathan Taylor. I think he's a little bit of a safer option. Okay, let's go to Motive Jag on Twitch for Brandon. Michael Pittman or Manuel Sanders for the flex and full PPR. Manny isn't a really fun game facing off with the Kansas City Chiefs. Michael Pittman, good role, but less fun game. I think this one's actually pretty tough for me to decide. You got any thoughts here? Yeah, it's funny you say that because my projections have a basically razor thin. I've Pittman projected for more targets, but the outcomes are basically identical. I would probably just go with the better game here and go with Manny. I should, I guess, and Manuel Sanders, sometimes people don't know that a lot of people call him Manny, but yeah, I mean, that's one of those where I don't think you can go wrong. I would just probably err on the side of the better game. I might start both if you can, honestly. Like they're both pretty good options this week, so I'm not opposed to both. Let's talk about a different Patterson. We're talking about Cordero before with Antonio Gibson dealing with a stress fracture in his leg, is Jared Patterson worth a stash? JD McKissick is like the past catching guy here, but I wouldn't expect him to become a bell cow if Gibson misses tons. So JJ, Jared Patterson, the Buffalo Deity, is he worth the ad for you? In a deeper format, like if you're in a 14 plus team league with decent benches, I think that it makes sense, but if you're in a 12 team league, 10 team league, I don't think it's that necessary because he's not, I'm sure that there's handcuffs out on your waiver wire that have more upside with an injury happening, and I understand there might be a more likely injury happening to Antonio Gibson versus some of those other guys, but like you said, Jim, you have JD McKissick there who's going to be the past catching back if something were to happen to him. I mean, he already is right now, but if something were to happen to Antonio Gibson, then we know that JD McKissick's probably in store for like a 15% target share per week, and Patterson's probably not gonna see, he'll probably be in like the 5% rate. Like he's just not like a high end handcuff. So even though the odds are in his favor, maybe more than other handcuffs to see the field eventually, I still think that in like a 12 or a 10 team league, it's really not worth it because there's probably better ads out there right now. Okay, let's go to the aircoos. In half PPR, Brandon, Leviska, Chennault, or Cadarius, Tony, I like Bolt this week. I feel like I would go with Chennault there, but I think Bolt are pretty good options, right? Yeah, I mean, these are some really good questions, like tough questions, so it's obviously there's a chance of picking wrong, but again, this is really close, I have it. Leviska, Chennault, I don't love from like an air yard standpoint, but we have seen him get some downfield work, DJ Chark, his absence should lead to at least more opportunities. Teams come out and said that they wanna get him the ball more, so you gotta like that. I like the Giants Dallas game, it's my favorite game of the week on the main slate. I really don't think he can go wrong, but I would probably lean Chennault. I would as well. Let's talk to Shake and Bake, I'll take this one. Minnesota defense of the Dallas defense, the Lions offensive line is super banged up. Panacea Well might not play this week, Frank Ragnow is out, Taylor Decker still not back, and that's a rough situation, so I would go Minnesota, they're pretty comfortable. Let's talk to DJ Clyde Edwards, E-Layer or Damian Williams. J.J., we know we like Damian Williams for this week. Do you like him more than C.E.H. in that game against the Bills? Probably still going C.E.H. there, just a better game environment in general. And look, a lot of these projections, like we think that Damian Williams will be a moderate bell cow, you know, like an 80% of David Montgomery, let's say, but we have to be at least a little bit, you know, like open-minded to the fact that they might use Clil Herbert more than we expect or something like that. Whereas we sort of know what C.E.H.'s role is in that offense right now. And while that role probably, you know, if you think about their peripherals at the end of the day, maybe Damian Williams peripherals are a little bit better than C.E.H. at the end of this week, but from a projection standpoint, you're working within those peripherals within the chief's offense versus the bear's offense. So I'm going to favor C.E.H. there. Okay, let's talk to Grim Fan. They have Zeke Elliott, Chase Edmunds, Creamhunter, Josh Jacobs. I would note that Chase Edmunds is banged up. He is questionable. I think he was limited or he's setting a game time call this week. So you might not need to make a decision here, Grim Fan, just noting that for you that Edmunds is pretty banged up right now. If he's like a full go, I'd probably bench Josh Jacobs there. Is that crazy, JJ? I don't think it's crazy. I think it's between, I think you could consider benching Kareem Hunt too, honestly, just because the matchup is just not great and you know, they're splitting that backfield still. I think it's between Hunt and Jacobs. If Edmunds does go, Edmunds has just had such a nice floor. There should be a decent game script for them. They should score a lot of points. So it's between Jacobs and Hunt for me. I mean, I can go with your choice, Jim, so that we have one answer for him. Synergy, let's talk to Daniel. Are we worried about Leonard Fournette with Geo Bernard, presumably back? Other options are Chase Edmunds, Joe Mixon and Emmanuel Sanders. Daniel, I would downgrade him, but like he's not totally off the map. Like he still gets good work. It's not great work, but I would expect Fournette to still have an okay role similar to what he had weeks one through three, which would make it risky if they were to fall behind, but they're probably not gonna fall behind Jacoby Berset with Devonte Parker banged up. So I would say he's okay there, but I don't mind Manny in that situation either. Aaron is asking early only cash on Fandall, Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins? I'd actually have Jaylen Hertz there personally because there's no Kyler and there's no DAC for the early only slate. Brandon Jaylen, Tom Brady or Kirk Cousins? I would rank them in that order. That's probably pretty safe. Tom, I'm a little bit nervous because you and I talked for a long time yesterday's podcast and had basically two quarterbacks with Kyler and DAC that we really liked. Tralance is now in that conversation, but just even with that, someone I didn't think about as Tom Brady in a game where he should just have really efficient passing could rack up those four touchdowns and just go nuts. So I'd rank Hertz highest, but between the other two I'd go Brady. Okay. Grim fan, let's define Gilmore gone. How do you feel about the patch defense this week? He's been out the first four games too. So I wouldn't change your analysis of the Patriots defense. The only thing I would say about the Patriots is their offensive line is crazy banged up right now. So that game is just gonna be bad. That's not great for defenses either. So I think their ceiling is just okay. I know Davis Mills is not great, but I would be a bit worried there just because that game might not be great. DJ's asking, where was this Geno Smith when he was a jet? Geno or DJ, he was on the field. He was being great. He was thriving. Geno has never done wrong. How dare you? T-Prez on Twitch, need one in non-PPR, Latavius, Meredith Ravens, Givante Williams, Michael Carter, Jamal Williams, also Vikings D or Steelers D, both those Ds are great. So I feel no reservations there. JJ, where are you leaning between those running backs? That's a lot of guys kind of in a similar tier. Yeah, I agree. And Michael Carter was a sleeper for me this week on my sleeper show. I think that he's in a really interesting spot where he's seeing more and more work in that offense. I think probably Jamal would be my pick, but non-PPR, I'm not as intrigued. It's tough to trust Latavius just because, I mean, if we assume that Latavius is gonna see a similar workload as this past week, I'd probably go Latavius in a non-PPR league. But yeah, I mean, I could make the argument for any of those four guys. Maybe Latavius is the move if you guys think that's the direction. Yeah, I would probably say that. The non-PPR. I don't like Givante, I don't know. I just hate the matchup for Givante a lot. But Melvin Gordon's been banged up, so maybe he sees a little bit more work. Who knows? Speaking of which, Coralyn Sutton, is it worth using a guy like Kaderius Tony or Darnell Mooney over him? I will note that Sutton turned his ankle in practice and is now questionable. It's also a bad game. It will be Teddy, which sounds, or it seems like it'll be Teddy, which is good. But JJ, would you use Tony or Mooney over Sutton based on what we know now or which way until Sunday will we get more information on Sutton's health? Yeah, look, I don't mind Tony or Mooney this week. Tony had a really healthy target share last week. Sterling Shepard's the main piece for him. If Sterling Shepard's out, then Tony gets that upgrade because he's gonna play a lot in the slot. And there's a really nice environment in that game as well. And I don't mind Mooney, obviously, because of the deep ballability with Justin Fields, et cetera, et cetera. I'd still probably go Cortland Sutton though because the Steelers' secondary is very, very beatable. The Steelers' secondary is not scary and you shouldn't be scared about it. Okay, final one going to Brandon here from J-Flow 1992. Is Nick Westbrook a quinae worth going back to with Jones out again against Jacksonville? Westbrook a quinae was on the field a lot doing some wind sprints this past week. But now AJ Brown is back, might not be overtime, they might not run 100 plays again. So I'm personally not gonna use any. What are your thoughts on Westbrook a quinae? I mean, we got eight targets. So I wouldn't know if that's just wind sprint level. A lot of them, to be fair, a lot of those came towards the end of that game. Yeah, which is why we probably have the perceptions, but I mean, that's why. Yeah, 86% route rate. I just figured he'd probably fall off and it'd be AJ Brown or Reynolds, right? I don't know, they utilize, because Reynolds was scratched, right? For the first handful of games and then they really- If he was healthy and they didn't start him, it was weird. We were using Westbrook a quinae. I might say Westbrook a quinae over Reynolds, but I still don't really want to go the Westbrook a quinae route. And you do run the wrist though, that they could just run Reynolds because Reynolds looked better than Westbrook a quinae this past week. That's kind of what I was getting at. So I think it's tough to wanna like stick with that. Apparently Jimmy G is officially ruled out. So Tray Lance, Sizzan is upon us. Final one here, I lied. I said final one before I lied. For you, JJ Chuba Hubbard, Cordero Patterson or Allen Robinson in PPR. We've not discussed Allen Robinson yet. So who you got there? Not a Rob. I think I might go Hubbard, but I say that mostly because last week, he didn't play the best, he didn't have the best peripherals in general, but they saw that negative game script and that was part of the reason. And I feel better about the game script potential in this game against Philadelphia. But it's close, I think, between him and Patterson this week in PPR league. I agree, which is weird. Cordero Patterson to the moon, baby. That is all that we have for today here on the Snake Draft Live. Q and A, big thank you once again to Brandon Gidula and JJ Zacharias. And for joining me here today and doing the Snake Draft, Brandon, good luck to you. Let's try to even this thing up with JJ, okay? One of us, at least. Yeah, I mean, I'd be cool with that. I'd prefer it'd be me, but I don't want JJ to get out to three. You can get me the win, that's okay. JJ, we appreciate the time as always and then good luck to you in your non-Snake Draft leagues this week. Yeah, good luck trying to beat Derek Henry, boys.
