And gang, what up? Pew, pew, pew. No, I'm pretty sure they say zap now, right? Didn't we ultimately decide? Yeah, zap, zap. Zappy, zappy. That's too much, too much on that one. I'm sorry. Pull it back, pull it back. This is a family show. Guys, week nine is wrapping up at least a 4 p.m. slate of games. We've still got two more games left, Sunday night football and Monday night football, but we've already had another crazy week jail. We said it this morning. We think we're figuring out what's happening in the NFL and then we don't. Boom. And then more things happen. Then the jets beat the bills or something hypothetical like that. But we're going to break down all of these games for you guys.

Let's get right into it, boys. We've got two games currently going on. The Arizona Cardinals, Seattle Seahawks game is currently in the fourth quarter. They just hit that two minute warning. The Seahawks up 31 to 21. What have we seen from this game so far today? This game has been pretty interesting so far. We got Gino Smithsley in the ball. The Seattle Seahawks, most of the game Arizona has kept with Seattle, but Seattle has begun to break away from them. So it's pretty interesting game so far. We got Gino Smith who's thrown 26 completions on 34 attempts for 275 yards, two touchdowns and an interception, 22 fantasy points. Gino Smith has looked decent. He looked decent in this game. Kenneth Walker, 30.9 fantasy points so far, 26 carries for 109 yards and two touchdowns. Bad man. Yeah, Kenneth Walker is the guy. He is the guy. Are you guys starting him no matter what? Is he a must start every week? Absolutely. Locked in RB1 rest of the season, no question. Yeah, I think he's in that top 12 range. There aren't very many backs with the workload that he has, right? And with the security in the backfield, when you look at the names behind him, Kenneth Walker is a full go every single week. Kenneth Walker or Travis Etn rest of season? Travis Etn. It's the receiving upside for Travis Etn that's going to push him slightly over Kenneth Walker. But the real answer is both of these guys, right? You're going to be thrilled with either one of these young running backs on your team. But that receiving work and the explosive playability of Travis Etn is just going to edge him slightly above Kenneth Walker. It's a little bit of a tie break. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm going to go Etn. And one of the main things for me is at best, Kenneth Walker is going to be the third option on this team. You know, you've got DK Metcalfe. You've got Tyler Lockett. You know, there's plenty of guys who are going to get targets before him. Like you said, Simon, you know, Travis Etn could be the number one option on the Jaguars, especially with the relationship with T-Law. So yeah, got to go T-Law. And it's not, excuse me, Etn, and it's not hate on Kenneth Walker by any means whatsoever. I would be more than happy with either of them. We got some, we love Gino in the chat. DK Walker, DK Walker, DK Metcalfe. Also had a pretty decent game. Five receptions on six targets, 37 yards and a touchdown. DK Metcalfe is back, ladies and gentlemen. Tyler Lockett also had a pretty good game. Five receptions, five targets, 17.7 points. I guess this game is still going on, isn't it? Yeah, it was still got two minutes on. I keep saying had a good game, but it is still going on. It is close. That's all I got for this game. Yeah, on DK Metcalfe, I just want to say like, I'm so happy seeing him succeed. Like I feel like last year, people were very down on him based on expectations, but he still had a pretty good fantasy year last year. He finished with 12 touchdowns, but the expectations were just so high that it was disappointing. This year came in with almost no expectations with Geno Smith taking over at quarterback. People counted the Seahawks offense out like saying this is not going to be a functional offense. Well, it's more than functional. Geno Smith is more than capable of supporting DK Metcalfe and Tyler Lockett. And man, that's been exciting to watch for both of those receivers and for Geno Smith. Yeah, he was one of the best values. I mean, people were just completely fading him. He was going well behind, you know, the likes of Alan Robinson. I'll look up the exact ADP, but man, the DK Metcalfe. Yeah, nobody's expecting Geno Smith. Yeah, exactly, myself included. Lesson learned from that. Do you maybe value talent a little bit more whenever there's uncertainty in these offensive situations? Like DK Metcalfe, we know his talent. The situation was uncertain and that's why he slipped in drafts. Going into next draft season, are you taking any lessons from this or is this a one-off scenario and Geno and DK just lit it up together? I don't think, I think it's just a bad outcome if you faded these guys, but let's say Drew Lockett's the start instead of Geno Smith. Like the season could have gone either way. And so, you know, looking back on it and saying, can we predict really Geno Smith's breakout? Yeah, maybe we could have. I think a lot of the concern was small sample size, right? And just in a large career of not, you know, mediocre talent. So I think the process was right. I think the outcome was just different and we adjusted that. It's something I'm making a note of because every year these are the things I struggle with. Like you look at the mistakes you made in the off season whenever you were looking at players and then you want to learn from those going into next year but you want to make sure not to take like anecdotal or one-off stories and then apply them broadly. But at the same time, you want to make sure you're learning from the things you did wrong in the off season. I missed on DK Metcalf. So I'm trying to navigate, is this something I can learn from or is this just a, man, we could not see this comment. What I like to do at the end of every season is right after championship week, I make notes for myself for that exact reason because you think, oh, yeah, I'll remember this. I'll remember this. And then the next season comes and you make the same mistakes over and over again. And I vividly remember last year, I made notes that matchups matter. And then, you know, looking at the playoff matchups where I had one player who just went off because it was a good matchup. I think it was like Almond Ross St. Brown or somebody. And then I said, unless they don't. And then it was a player who had a fantastic matchup of stud and just fell flat on their face. So one of those things you just kind of got a role with, but, you know, keep note of absolutely. Guys, we're going to move on to our next game. This Los Angeles Rams Tampa Bay Buccaneers game. If you see me glance in my head this way, I am enthralled by what's going on down here in the fourth quarter. But we're going to get to that. First, I wanted to say, hey, everyone in the chat, Albert. What's up, my man? Welcome in. Glad to have you here. And we got Mark in the chat as well. Welcome, Mark. Glad to have you and geek hippie geek. Welcome in. Bam had a question for us. What's up, Bam? Bam said, moving to seven and two this week. Congratulations. Nice. Looking to sell big on Curtis Samuel before the trade deadline. Look to maybe move him and Singletary. What do you guys think that could get me? So Jay, when you look at Curtis Samuel and Devon Singletary, is there a range of players that you are looking to target if you're packaging those two guys together? Yeah, probably trying to think. If you're looking for high-end RB2, you're not going to get an RB1 for those guys unless there's somebody who's just absolutely desperate for any production from the wide receiver position. You know what, maybe a disappointing guy, like somebody who's playing right now, a Leonard Fournette who really has not looked good as of late. Maybe somebody who was expected to be RB1 on the season that just kind of fell back. Maybe a Najee Harris. You know, somebody who I think if you're moving on from a guy like Singletary who's a solid RB2, you're looking for upside with a move like that. For me, I'm with you, Jay. And Bam, these questions are a little bit harder to answer because we don't know what your teammate's rosters look like. But in that range, like a Miles Sanders is a name that I'm looking at that I can get upgraded at the running back position. I think people still sleep on him. Dale, any other names, maybe a wide receiver that you would be looking to grab if you were looking at Singletary and Curtis Samuel? Yeah, I ran these names. Just looked at Alex, our good buddy peaked in high school. He does these market trade value charts every week. And so this doesn't include this week. This is ran from the previous week. Curtis Samuel is tier seven or 10 trade value points. And the other one, it was Devin Singletary. He is tier six, we're 20 and a half trade value points. So that's around the 30 range if you add those up. And that's right where you guys are talking about. Miles Sanders, Najee Harris, there's Chris Godwin in that range, Tyler Lockett, Debo. I'd make that move for Mario Cooper. I would do that as well. Jay, we are, man, we're so in sync. We're spending too much time in those trade value charts if we just pulled those names out. They're right in that range. We got some more people in here. Maria says, gentlemen, gentlemen, welcome. Thank you for watching us. And we got Matt in the chat. What's up, Matt? Welcome in. Glad to have you here. Geek hippie said, I got smoked today. Well, you're not the only one. So did Jail by me. So did Jay by me twice. But I'm tanking in that league. It doesn't. Oh, yeah. But what about the other league? Well, you did. There's two of them. My team sucks in that other league. There you go. Dustin in here saying, at least Joe, we got to see Brady hit 100K. Other than that, this game is not that exciting. But you know what? Being at Manifel game, it doesn't matter if it's a zero, zero snooze fest. It's still just fun being in that environment. Unless it's raining. Unless it's even better. OK, Jail, we say that my like number one sporting experience of my life was in the rain. That Notre Dame Clemson game in the month was just the most miserable and happy I've ever been at the same time. And that juxtaposition of like physically miserable, emotionally happy was just a bizarre sensation that I don't think I'll ever live again. That game sucked for me. My experience was the complete opposite. I was I didn't feel well. My friend didn't come that weekend because there was too big of a storm and his parents were nervous. And so I was just sitting there with my other normal friends that I spend every day with and then it starts raining. I stopped feeling good. So I'm like, all right, I'll walk home. So I start walking home thinking, you know, I'll figure out a way to get my phone dies. I had to walk like three miles in the rain back to my apartment. I get there. I realize I don't have a key unlocked out. And so I just had to sit outside my door for two hours until my roommate came soaking wet, phone dead, worse night ever. Beautiful. Just a beautiful experience. Yeah, it's in jail's underselling rain. I legitimately walked through a field where the mud went up to my knees on the way home night. It was flooding in the streets. There were cars couldn't pass because there was water above the curb. It was absurd guys. Also Dustin said boo J.L. Come on, J.L. Oh, yeah. I didn't hear another question for us a trade question. Wanted to know, should I trade Jonathan Taylor for Josh Jacobs full PPR jail? Would you trade away J.T. for Josh Jacobs? Probably now. Yeah, I would just given just given the injury concerns if I could swap that risk. Sure. J. What about you? Do you agree? Yeah, I think I think so. And Joey's the one who said it when J.T. got the injury earlier earlier in the year when it was a high ankle sprain, these things linger. You know, this offense does not look good. It's going to be towards the end of the season. It might be too late for him to even really contribute to your fantasy team before he's back to normal. And who knows, you know, if they continue to not look that good, maybe they shut him down. So yeah, I would I would make that move. You might even just on the end value alone, especially with Jacobs underperforming the last two weeks, like 11.4 points this week somewhere in the seven to eight range last week. Might be able to get a little bit extra on top of there for Jacobs. By the way, I'm doing this move. What back in what receiver to throw on there? Something like that. I like that. I don't know me or something like that thrown on to the straight something in that after today. Maybe not slick, vacant here. What's up, slick. Welcome and glad to have you in here. And Geek said makes jail look younger now without the fuzz. Was that your goal jail to take a couple of years off? No, this is what I've had my whole life. Just the last two weeks. I had a beard. Just just done with it. Just got too itchy to too much. I saw what it looked like. I got what I wanted out of it. That was the whole point. It was just to see what I was like. And I got to tell you, you said get rid of it. Is that what it was? No, no, I was ready. He jail was complaining about it every second of every day while he had that beard. So I understand you getting rid of it. Guys, let's move on to our next game. Less than two minutes left in this one. The Rams are up 13 to nine fucking years. Have the ball with a minute 57 left. Not a lot of offense in this game so far or at least all the score. Yeah, not a lot of touchdowns in a game. The, you know, two teams that are struggling that were expected to be Super Bowl contenders. Matthew Stafford, 158 yards, one touchdown. So who else but Cooper cup. He's really the only receiver doing anything on the ran honestly on either side of the ball eight catches. Excuse me, eight targets, seven catches, 120 yards and a touchdown. Alan Robinson continues to disappoint me. Somebody who I was super high on going to the season like jail we were talking about before we started. Just I've got so much Alan Robinson and it's just it's been a huge disappointment. Rushing the ball. There's really nothing to write home about. Daryl Henderson, 10 carries, 55 yards. Leonard Fournette continues to disappoint only nine carries for 19 yards actually getting out produced by Rashad White eight carries, 27 yards. He's somebody that I think you should be looking to acquire. He's an available of a decent amount of leagues and you know, as the season go on goes along, rookie's 10 rookie running backs tend to produce a little better. You know, getting their, their, their feet under him. I think he's somebody who could be a sneaky flex play sometime, you know, and if anything were to happen to Leonard Fournette, he would get the bell cow work. So he's somebody who I would keep your eye out for. I'm with you. Rashad Whites, if he's not already rostered, he should be rostered in every single league. He has a role. This is still Leonard Fournette's backfield. Like I still think Leonard Fournette's the leadback rest of season, but Rashad White has proven that he's a valuable asset to this team. I'm with you, Jay. Yeah, absolutely. And Albert's asking, what are we doing with Leonard Fournette? Honestly, I wouldn't sell low. I mean, if somebody's willing to take him at name value for a high end RB two, I'd make the move, but I would prefer to not sell low. I think he's still, like you said, I do think it's still his backfield. And once this offense gets going, which I do believe before the end of the season, they'll get everything under control and look might not be, you know, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offense in the past two years, but they'll be better than this. And I think he can definitely put up what he has in the previous two seasons. Absolutely, I agree. Keep starting them. I know it sucks. There's been bad weeks, but you got to just keep starting Leonard Fournette unless you have like a Josh Jacobs and a CMC on your lineup, right? Kenneth Walker and a Travis ETN. I was going to say, you know, if you were stashing Remandry Stevenson, Kenneth Walker, then I mean, you would have to consider starting those guys over Lenny till he gets it back going. But I wouldn't sell low. I'd hang on to him. You've seen Leonard be used here in the passing game, too. And just in this game, four exceptions on six targets, 37 yards. And that's that's valuable in a PPR league or receptions in a week. That's that's solid. And that's any loves for net. I'm a for net fan as well. My friend, you got to just stay. Go Lenny. Stay the course. I was about to say stay the ship. The kind of ship the ship guys. Just stay the ship. That's pretty much it for this game for now. We'll keep you guys on the results in this game. This game will be wrapping up. But before we start hitting Sunday night football, there were unfortunately some injuries today. Jay, you want to update us on the injuries that took place around the NFL today? Yeah, there weren't a whole lot. Thankfully that had a fantasy impact, but there were a couple of big ones. Aaron Jones left the game in Green Bay with a very noticeable limp and with the grimace in the locker room post game. He was wearing a boot after and did not return to the game. So it's I would not be surprised to see him miss an extended period of time. You know, a couple of games still waiting on word and exactly what the injury is. And in the same game, Robbio Dobbs was ruled out with an ankle injury. He actually suffered the injury on Green Bay's first drive and had to be carted off the field. So I would not be surprised to see him miss some time as well. And the only other one that was really that fantasy relevant, Evan Ingram left the game. I know Coop had to be upset with that with a back injury and did not return. Hopefully Evan Ingram is all right. And Jay, did you say Aaron Jones was in the locker room with a grimace or with the grimace? Yeah, that changes the sentence. Both. He was he was grimacing with Grimace. Well, that is not a good sign of Grimace was in there was the hamburger anywhere to be seen or just Grimace on his own. Just Grimace and Mayor McCheese was there. He was consoling. Okay. Yeah. Man, Mayor McCheese, you know, that's not good news. When they call out Mayor McCheese, it's not a good sign. Guys, tonight we have a game, Tennessee Titans at the Kansas City Chiefs. And if you've been keeping up with these lines today, you will have seen in the past hour that it's moved a little bit further in Kansas City's favor. And that's because the Tennessee Titans officially announced that. Ryan Tannehill is not active for this game and Malik Willis will be getting the start again. So before we go any further into this game, guys, Malik Willis threw for barely over 50 passing yards in his last game. Jay, when Malik Willis is the starting quarterback, can you start any pass catcher for the Titans? No, honestly, you can't even Robert Woods hasn't done much even with Ryan Tannehill under center. Now granted in Malik Willis's first start, Derek Henry was able to run the ball and they were winning the game. So it could be a little bit of a different story tonight against Kansas City where they are forced to air it out, but you can't start any of these guys with any confidence. The only one, you know, if if Traylon Burks was playing maybe, you know, because he's able to ease the type of guy that can make your day with one play. But I'm not starting any Tennessee pass catchers. Honestly, any any Tennessee players outside, I was going to say outside of Derek Henry, but I also like Dantra Hilliard who has been who could be had a sneaky good day. You know, if Malik Willis winds up dumping the ball off a lot as they're playing catch up, but no wide receivers on this team. I see Dustin in here saying if I'm starting anyone, it's Nick Westbrook, Ikeane. Jail, do you have any interest in Westbrook, Ikeane this week or if Malik Willis is starting its hands off entirely? If you need to play him, if it's an emergency type situation by week fill in, I'm fine playing Westbrook, Ikeane, but I am not excited to. Malik Willis may end up just getting shut down tonight. Yeah, I don't I don't know if he can support any relevant fantasy pass catchers. So I've seen nothing from him so far to think that that's the case. It's Derek Henry and this is the Derek Henrys versus the Kansas City Chiefs is what I think we're going to see tonight. On the other side of the ball, this is a great matchup for the Chiefs though, specifically with what they're good at. The Titans are giving up the eighth most points to opposing fantasy quarterbacks this season. The fourth most points against opposing fantasy wide receivers and on the other side, they are the fourth best against opposing fantasy running backs. So this looks like it's going to be a past heavy game for Kansas City, even though they are heavy favorites as well, just based on the matchups. They'll are any of the Kansas City running backs startable tonight. We're looking at Clyde Edwards, a layer, Isaiah Pacheco, Jerick McKinnon. Do you have any confidence starting any of those guys in your lineups? Yeah, I mean, I'm starting Clyde Edwards a layer in a few leagues. I'm starting Pacheco and a few leagues. I'm starting. I'm not starting Jerick McKinnon. I'm benching Jerick McKinnon in all my leagues, but I think either of those two guys are worthy of a play this week, flex worthy play. Jay, what are your expectations for those backs with a tough matchup and a split back field? Are you looking at RB three numbers? RB two numbers? I'm forced to start a CEH in a couple places as well as an RB two because of bi weeks. But yeah, you're looking at flex play. You're looking at flex numbers, RB three numbers. Honestly, for both of them, you're hoping you get in the end zone because they're like you said, this is pretty much a split backfield. And I honestly think you're going to see Kaderi Stoney get some action out of the backfield. Nicole Hardman's getting used out of the backfield a little bit. So yeah, you're basically you're praying for a touchdown with these guys. If you're only rostering one of these running backs for the rest of season, Isaiah Pacheco, Clyde Edwards-Alayer, which one do you want it to be? I'm still going CEH. I like Pacheco long term, but I still think that, you know, CEH when he's gotten the volume, he's looked pretty decent this year. And they still like him. They're still using him even though Pacheco got the start last week. CEH still scored the touchdown. He's getting a little bit of usage in the passing game as well. So I'm going to still stick with CEH. We just got an update from Dustin said passing interference in the end zone. 13 seconds left. You're a little bit ahead of me. Only three seconds ahead of me, but that's enough for a game-changing call. Man, Tom Brady and the Bucks just might pull this one out here at the end. We'll keep our eyes on that. Now that we talked about the Chiefs running backs, I wanted to talk about where the strength of this team is, at least in this matchup tonight. And that is in the wide receiver core. Obviously the top receiver, Travis Kelsey, he is a tight end, but you're plugging Travis Kelsey in. There's hardly any questions we have to ask about that, man. He's in every single week start, but that wide receiver room is a little bit confusing and it's gotten more confusing over the past week with the addition of Cadarius Tony. There's Juju Smith Schuster, Meekle Hardman, Marquez Valdes Scantlin, Cadarius Tony, Sky Moore. What do we do with these wide receivers? I'm confident in Juju Smith Schuster tonight. That's the one player I have confidence in, but after that, I'm not sure who the next guy up is. Jay, if you had to plug in one of the secondary wide receivers, who would it be? I would probably go. The smart play is MVS, but I've just got this feeling that they're going to use Tony. You know, I think that they want to show that he's Andy Reed coming out of the buy is just a mastermind and I think they want to show what Tony is capable of. Can you pull out the one of the odds for the anytime touchdown score for Cadarius Tony? I think that's one that's worth the shot, especially if it's some pretty decent odds. What's for 20? No, that's that's not. That's not as good as I would have hoped, but I would be on that one. Yeah, but it's and the buccaneers did just take the lead with nine seconds left, 16 to 13. I trust on the Cade. Just like we all wrote it up. Just like we all wrote it up. Cade Otten with the touchdown to potentially win that game to potentially pull that game out. Well, whenever we're looking at the secondary receiving options, it sounds like Jay is a fan of Cadarius Tony tonight. Is there one that you have more confidence starting than the others? MVS, Meekle Hardman, Cadarius Tony, Skymore. Yeah, I would probably be starting. Oh, I probably be starting MVS at all those guys. He has the usages there for him. He's playing 74 percent of snaps. He's getting 15 percent target share. He's the the number two option here consistently on this offense. So I would rather have him. Yeah, for me, it's going to be MVS is the guy that I'm most confident after that. And I think tonight in this game, there's going to be room for multiple of these wide receivers to put up good numbers. I think you'll see two of these guys with good fantasy games tonight plus Travis Kelsey, of course, but that does it for our Sunday night football game. Guys, let's go ahead and move into this 1 p.m. slate of games. There was a lot of chaotic energy throughout the league today. A lot of teams underperforming some teams suit like a superiorly overperforming. You know, the word superiorly superiorly superiorly overperforming the Green Bay Packers were not one of those teams that over performed this week losing to the Detroit Lions 15 to 9. Yeah, this was supposed to be a get right game for the Green Bay offense. And it was quite the opposite. You know, the Detroit defense has struggled most of this season. So a lot of people were expecting, you know, and traditionally Aaron Rodgers has done really well against divisional opponents. Not today continues to struggle in life without Devante Adams. He only threw for 291 yards, one touchdown, three interceptions, two of them in the end zone. It was ugly. He did not look good. He has not thrown for 300 yards in a single game this season has not thrown for more than two touchdowns in a single game. Are you starting Rodgers next week against Dallas? I mean, they got one of the best defenses in the entire NFL give up the seventh fewest fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks. Simon, are you starting Rodgers next week? I mean, cop out Andrew depends on my other options, right? But whenever I look at the options that are likely available. I'd rather start a Justin Fields. I'd rather start a Trevor Lawrence. I'd rather start Gino's cousins. If he sent out there, I'd rather start Gino Smith. So like Aaron Rodgers, I think is start a bull. Know what I mean? Like you can plug him in, but he is no longer a plug and play every single week starter. He's a guy that I'm plugging in. If it's a good matchup and I don't have a better option. Jalen, any thoughts? Yeah. Now I agree with Simon. He has been a QB to through and through throughout the season, which isn't fantastic. It is really bad in one QB leagues, right? Because you want to be starting one of those top 12 or however big your league is. You want to be at least starting one of those top players. So not great for Aaron. Aaron Rodgers super flex. He's fine. He's a fine second option. I think. Yeah, I'm with you guys. I have one QB. I'm not starting. I'm super flex. If I've got one of those options, like you said, Simon, you know, the Gino Smiths, the Justin Fields, you know, I would much rather not start him against this very tough Dallas defense on the other side of the ball. Jared Goff had a mediocre day. 137 yards, two touchdowns and interception start of the season off pretty hot, but really has just been hit or miss since then is really pretty much just a super a super flex matchup play. That's pretty much it. You're not looking to start him in one QB leagues. Rodgers led the Packers and rushing, which is not a good sign with 40 yards. And like I said earlier, Aaron Jones left the game with an injury after rushing for just 25 yards and it does not look good. I'm expecting him to miss some time. That is not official, but with the talk of him hanging out with Grimace and Mayor McCheese after the game, having a boot on, it does not look good. A.J. Dillon really didn't look good either. He only averaged 3.1 yards per carry and he got stopped at the goal line multiple times. He's been a big disappointment this season. He was really hyped up in this offseason as somebody who you could draft as a potential RB2 who could make that leap, but he is in line for the bulk of the carries in Green Bay if Aaron Jones does miss extended time. If Jones is out, are you guys starting Dillon next week against Dallas who gives up the third fewest fantasy points against running backs? Yeah, I'd still be playing him if he is the only guy in that backfield. That's enough volume for me to take that shot even in a tough matchup. Yeah, I mean this Packers offense is broken. Like it's just broken. It's not working. It doesn't matter if you're looking at the running backs, if you're looking at the receiving options, the quarterback play. It's just not working. So expectations are a lot lower for AJ Dillon or for any piece in this offense whenever I plug them and that being said, you can't ignore volume and he's going to give volume if Aaron Jones is out. So he's a play, but not a like not a must play. Right. You guys said it perfect. I think it's the expectations. You have to expect, you know, mid range RB2, you know, if he gets a touchdown, maybe high end RB2, but you know, if if this was the offensive last year and AJ Dillon was getting all the carries, I mean, he'd be hyped up as the RB1 potentially. So you just have to reset those expectations and volume is King in fantasy. Give me the guy that's going to be getting those touches. The Andre Swift only had two carries as the lines continue to monitor his usage. Honestly, until he's given the full okay, I have a hard time starting Jamal, excuse me, starting the Andre Swift. I don't know why they just don't sit him, especially as good as Jamal Williams has looked. You know, he wasn't that efficient, but he did get 81 yards and he chipped in a two-point conversion on the receiver side for both of these teams. Alan Lazard led the way for catches on 10 targets, 87 yards and a touchdown, but outside of Lazard. Rogers really spread the ball around. No other player receiving more than five targets. Many were expecting a big game at a big Bob Tunyon because the Lions have struggled this season so far against the tight end, but he only managed three catches for 29 yards. Honestly, he's just not on the field enough. And as I saw, our guy Koop is the tight end guru. He said he just doesn't play enough snaps. He's really nothing more than a streamer in the right matchup. You're praying for a touchdown from Big Buns Tunyon. He is in the club. Also, we got Joey right in here saying, Buccaneers win. He was at the game in the suite. Man, what a fun game to be at for a Bucs fan for real with some with some more people in here. JL, I think come here now is excited to see you. JL, JL, JL, JL, and then I'm pretty sure this is my L. J. I like like pronounce them like hi. What's up? So now your name's just L. What's up coming now? Welcome in. Also, Matthew came in here earlier and saying his morning slate teaser parlay lost in the only part of the parlay that didn't hit was Green Bay not covering plus 2.5 to the freaking Lions. That is brutal. That is brutal. That is absolutely brutal. You were like you were so confident you had that locked up. God, yeah, that one hurts that one. That one's a punch right in the Nards. Um, sorry, Jay, I cut you off right now. You're good. There's honestly nothing really much else to talk about on the receiving side of the ball for the Lions. I'm in Ross Lane Brown. Continue to dominate targets. You know, we only had four catches for 55 yards, but there wasn't a lot of fasting volume, especially with TJ Hawkinson gone. He's continued. He's going to continue to eat have plenty of volume was locked in as an every week starter. Yeah, not the not the most exciting game for him, but you got to keep starting them week in week out. There's better games to come for him guys. Next game. I wanted to talk about here was this Atlanta Falcons Los Angeles Chargers game. The Chargers coming away with a last second victory off a game winning field goal to cap off a crazy ending to a game. If you guys did not catch the end to this game with about 46 seconds left, the Chargers fumbled the ball Atlanta recovered and then Atlanta fumbled the ball giving the ball back to the Chargers in one play. The Chargers then kick the game winning field goal as time expires to win this one. The Falcons just fumbled it away at 1717 after recovering that fumble. It's got to be brutal if you're a Falcons fan to end a game that way. But overall, overall these Falcons have been over performing what my expectations were for them in this offseason. I think the highlight of this game though will start on the Atlanta side was the return of Coral Patterson. Patterson had 13 carries for 44 yards and two touchdowns on the ground could have had a third one. I know I was saying not to start him this week because I wanted to see him on the field. Well, now I've seen him on the field. You start him every week. Cordero Patterson is an every single week starter. Jade, you agree? No, you're not going to like this. Simon, I think he's a sell high. I mean, yes, he did get the two touchdowns. But if you look outside of that 3.4 yards per carry really didn't get a ton of usage in the receiving game, which is what his value was last season. You know, there's two other capable running back to Tyler Algier and Caleb Huntley. I would be looking to sell high. I know it might be a little controversial. If you have him, you're starting him, no doubt. But I just I don't think he's going to be able to hold up. I think they're you're going to see some more usage out of these other running backs. And if he didn't have those touchdowns, you know, it would not be a very pretty day. Dustin agrees with you saying out here it's out playing CPAT guys before we continue on this game. We have our on site reporter live from Raymond James Stadium. Joey Wright. How does it feel there as a Buccaneers fan? I was told Tom Brady ready for questioning. Is that true? I did. I'm going down on the field with him here in a few minutes. We're going to have an interview with me and Tom. We're going to just India South, the yard line and talk about our feelings. Honestly, it's a pretty dull game to be honest with you up until I give us the last minute, but a good time out here at Raymond James Stadium. How's it going there guys? I didn't do any work tonight. Beautiful. We're talking Falcons. We finished talking about that Buccane and as soon as they as soon as they scored that game when he touched down. I was thinking all man, Joey is living high right now. He is so excited. Joey, thank you for checking in with us. I know you're living in the heat of the moment. You'll rush that field. Let us know how you're going to be with Tom goes my man and go Bucs. Bye. Go Bucs guys. Peace. Go Bucs. Man, I am. I'm jealous that he's there right now. That's the second time of the day that you just cut him off right in the middle of a statement. He was waving. He was waving. The first time, not the last time. He said go but and then it's like out. I love it. Well, now we don't know but or buns. Go buns or butter. We know he's a big butter fan. I think go Rick but that's what it was. As the receivers on the Falcon side of the ball, Kyle Pitts continuing to be targeted more than he was to the first couple weeks of the season, but he didn't turn his seven targets into much today. Two receptions for 27 yards. We've talked about him maybe separating himself from that tight end glob. The glob of just streaming tight ends that aren't quite getting enough to be useful every week, but you're still starting them in certain situations. Jade, you think Kyle Pitts, even with this week performance is still separated from that glob of tight ends or is he right back in there with with the glob? I think he's in the glob with the volume that you're seeing from the passing game. You just you can't depend on him weekend and week out. You know what 23 attempts this week until they potentially move to Desmond Ritter. You really can't trust Kyle Pitts outside of the glob. He's he's firmly in there. He you know him and Drake London both got seven targets. I they looked to Drake London. I watched a lot of this game. Drake London got a couple of red zone targets. They were there definitely looking to get him the ball when they were inside the 20. I mean, I think that you're encouraged by the volume of targets, but you can't be competent starting Kyle Pitts. Absolutely, guys, we're going to move to the other side of this ball now on the charger side of the ball. Austin Eckler continuing to show why he's one of the top fantasy running backs. Do you have a touchdown on the ground and a touchdown through the year turning 14 carries and only 47 yards, but it doesn't matter when you score two touchdowns and then turning nine targets into seven receptions for 24 yards and a touchdown as well. We're starting Austin Eckler weekend week out right? No questions asked. He's just in the lineup. That's him. Yep. 100% you guys see the place. Did you see the place I was about to go to? Yep. It was it was so close. It was one elbow away from being like the second best play of the year besides that PJ more to DJ more pass where he got tackled. He somehow keeps his legs in the air as he's rolling and has the the wherewithal to take off down the field. I was jumping out of my seat thinking that he actually pulled that off. I still think he had it even though the elbow was down. They should have just gave it to him for the he goes even though the wherewithal was down. Yeah, this elbow. I still think he had it even though he didn't even though he didn't have it. Even though he absolutely did not. He didn't have it, but he had it. That was a that was a crazy play. And yeah, it didn't turn out to be the play but still the fact that he was close to it is insane. Absolutely insane. Austin Eckler is a beast as the wide receiver that was a popular start this week with both Mike Williams and Keenan Allen out worked out for everybody that started him Joshua Palmer saw 10 targets turning into eight receptions for 106 yards. Now Keenan Allen will likely be back sooner rather than later. He was questionable for this week. I'm expecting him back in the next week or two for Keenan Allen jail when Keenan Allen comes back but Mike Williams is still out. What does that do to Joshua Palmer's value? Is he still startable in fantasy? Yeah, I think he is. I think he is. So I think he'll fill in that that wide receiver to roll that that Mike Williams currently fills until Mike Williams gets back in which case you're probably not starting Joshua Palmer. It feels like this offense is pretty comfortable with Eckler in these two wide receiver volume. Absolutely. Eckler getting those nine targets. He was the second leading receiver from a target's perspective on the scene. I think you're right Jail and it's promising looking at how they use their second wide receiver right? Michael Bandy with eight targets. Deandre Carter with six targets. I don't think it's going to be a problem for Joshua Palmer when Allen's back. He's still going to be pretty heavily targeted in this offense. Yeah, I think his offense is only going to look better too. You know, like Simon, you and I have talked about it a few times with Herbert disappointing in the past few weeks. He's getting healthy, you know, coming off that by he had that rib injury earlier in the year. I think they're going to look better and better and and I think that, you know, even with Mike Williams, whenever he's back, I think Palmer can be a solid flex play. Robinson, you're saying so glad I played Palmer over Davis this week. Good move, my man. Nice. Nice job, Travis. That's all I got for this game, guys. The next game that I wanted to hit on was the Indianapolis Colts at New England Patriots game. The Patriots winning this one pretty big. The Colts weren't able to get much going 26 to three. 26 to three. The spread on this game was minus five favor of New England and the total was at 40. They did not hit that over. It was the under and New England did cover here. This game was pretty ugly guys. This game is pretty ugly. On the Colts side, Sam Ellinger, 15 completions, 29 attempts, 103 yards, seven fantasy points. I'm pretty sure he didn't even have a completion until the second quarter of this game. The Patriots defense just had his number from the start made every single wide receiver option on this Colts team fantasy irrelevant. The highest scoring receiver on this team was Jordan Wilkins, 6.8 fantasy points. Then you had Dion Jackson, 5.6, Michael Pittman, 5.2, Paris Campbell, 3.6 and Alec Pierce, 3.3. Wait, did you say the highest scoring fantasy player for the Colts in its entirety was below seven points today? Was seven. Well, if you so Sam Ellinger had 7.02 and he was the highest scoring. That's absurd. That is absolutely absurd. So the answer to all of the start sit questions that included the Colts was none of them. It's not a defense. The defense actually did pretty good. Had a couple. There you go. The defense. I don't think we got any Colts defense questions up. Not so good. Not so good. What are you guys doing with Michael Pittman rest of season and these other, I guess these other wide receiver options as well. This is not great for him. What do you, how do you view them rest of season? Massive downgrade if Sam Ellinger is going to keep on starting a quarterback, like I'm not even sure you can consistently rely on any of these guys. Michael Pittman included to put up wide receiver two numbers with Sam Ellinger under center. That being said, this is a tougher matchup defensively. So there's going to be better weeks ahead for some of these players, but it's a wide receiver two without that floor without any sort of safety in my mind. It's a very risky wide receiver to play for Michael Pittman. Honestly, not much of a ceiling either. I mean, it's not like Ellinger is going to go out there and air it out. So I might, you know, I would be looking to sit Pittman if possible until something changes with this offense. Definitely not dropping. I mean, he's too talented for that, but you know, he was in talks to be a wide receiver one. And I think he nailed it, Simon. I think he's wide receiver three territory that he only really looking to play in the right starts and the good matchups until we see something different. I know they said Ellinger was going to start the rest of the season, but if he looks this bad again, I would not be surprised to see Matt Ryan back out there. Dustin has the grossest question of all time for us. Let's just assume both of these guys are the starter rest of the year. Okay. I don't think that's the case for Malik Willis. Ryan Tano is going to come back and take that job, but assuming they both start, who would you want rest of the season? Ellinger or Malik Willis for fantasy. Do I have to? I think you just got to take the rushing yards of Willis and call it a day. No, I mean, I think that's what you got to do. Just just grab the rushing yards. If he gets 60 rushing yards in a game, that's a touchdown and you're you're rolling with it. And I think Malik Willis is a lot more talented. I think he's he's the more raw prospect. But I think he he could be a starter week in week out in this league eventually. You know, if he maybe he starts to put it together if he gets consecutive starts. So yeah, I'm going Malik Willis. 10 passing attempts last week. Six completions. One interception. Bad one point for fantasy points. Hot. Heesh. Also doesn't use it. I think Simon is right on appreciated Dustin and Adrian saying greetings from Mexico. Greetings, Adrian. Greetings. What else we have going on in this game? John this game. Sorry, I got distracted there by the greetings from Mexico. Yes. So Dion Jackson 11 carries for 23 yards. Simon, you were very hyped on Dion Jackson this morning when we were discussing him. What did you see in this game? How are you viewing him going forward? Was it just a bell check shut down or can we can we expect something on Dion Jackson if Jonathan Taylor still misses? I mean, if by hyped, you mean. Benching him in favor of comparable running backs because he was had a really tough matchup. Then yeah, I was super hyped on Dion Jackson this morning. Dion Jackson was startable this week, but when Jonathan Taylor is out, you keep starting him, right? Especially if Sam Allinger is going to be starting a quarterback. Most games, hopefully they won't be down 23 points at the end there and they're going to be able to establish that running game a little bit more. He's good. He's not Jonathan Taylor, but with volume, it's hard to avoid starting players that have a starting running back job in the NFL, right? Yeah, absolutely. And then on the Patriots side of this, really this kind of went as you'd expect for the Patriots 9.68 fantasy points for Mac Jones for Montreux Stevens and had a fantastic game. 15 carries for 60 yards. He also had seven targets, three receptions and 10 yards and a receiving touchdown in this game for 16. It was a beauty, too. I don't know if you guys saw it. It was a one-handed coming across the end zone. It was a sexy catch. Yes. Got you all hot and bothered over Montreux Stevens and fantastic while Damien Harris is out. What do you guys expect from Remandry? Stevens and rest of season. Where does he slot in with with this whole Damien air situation? I think the rhinos secured this backfield as his. I think this is he is the RB one. I mean, look at this game. It's not like there weren't other backs involved. JJ Taylor getting 10 carries in this game. And I think we'll see JJ Taylor get zero carries whenever Damien Harris is back and Damien Harris grabs those 10. But Remandry Stevens and never going to be the 25 like carry guy whenever Damien Harris is healthy. But we'll see him continuously probably in like this 13 to 20 carry range with Damien Harris being the supplementary back. I think he's an RB one. He's he's a beast. Very good. He's very good. And then the receiving side, Hunter Henry nine points, fantasy points this week. He had four reception for targets for 50 yards. It's kind of what you expect. He's still in the glob. It's not really much to say there and Jacobi Meyers 8.4 fantasy points. Your God, that was the noise of the glob. I got that. Yeah, that's it for this third. Oh, we got in this game. Guys, before we move on to our next game, we have some questions in here. A tough one from Caden. Caden is up by how many points is that 40 points against the 8-0 team in his league? The team he's going up against has Lamar Jackson, Juju Smith, Schuster and Taysum Hill. He has Derek Henry left. So he's up 40 with Derek Henry going against Lamar, Juju and Taysum. JL, does Caden pull this one off? He's got a big lead, but he's also going up against some studs. You are going up against some studs, but you got Derek Henry, right? Still got Derek Henry. So I think you pull this one off. It's going to be like 70% chance. It's called a 55-point lead with Derek Henry. Let's just give him 15 PPR fantasy points. That seems like a reasonable number. I think you get way higher. Derek Henry, yeah. I'm being conservative here, Jay. We're giving predictions. You want me to just predict 30 PPR fantasy points for a running bet? I mean, Joe Mixon got 50 something. Derek Henry could do it too. Joe Mixon, man. Come on. Just absurd. Absurd what he did. Jay, you giving him the victory? Yeah. Um, Jay, I nailed it in the 70% range, you know, outside of Taysum Hill, having a random four touchdown game like Taysum Hill likes to do. You should have it pretty cleanly. I mean, but Lamar any given week can put up a 40-point quarterback performance. Like you can see that from Lamar any given week. So that's, that's what you're watching out for. You're hoping Lamar just has an average game. My thinking was Derek Henry should out at least get close to if not outscored Juju and Taysum Hill. And Lamar would have to put up a huge game with, you know, he's down. Mark Andrews likely or he is out down shot Bateman. So outside of Lamar just going nuts on the ground. I think you should be okay. Another Ravens player we had a question about. Come here now. Beach 89 wants to know. Do you project Kenyon Drake to get 22 PPR fantasy points tomorrow? Jay, do you think 22 PPR fantasy points is in the range of outcomes for Kenyon Drake? How likely is it? I do because I have to start him in my home league this week. So I absolutely say 22 points is within the range. No, I don't think so. I think best case scenario you're looking in the mid-teens anything's possible, especially fantasy football, but I think best case scenario most likely is around that 15 to 18 mark for Kenyon Drake. Absolutely. Guys, we're going to move on to our next game and the next game we're talking about is this my Ami Chicago game and what a game it was. The dolphin coming out on top 35 32 and this was a fun one probably the most fun game of the day to watch. Definitely to had himself a day through the air 302 passing yards, three touchdowns, zero interceptions. There's really not much to say about so he's locked in as an every week starter. No question, no matter the format Justin Fields also had himself a day, but it was more on the ground versus through the air. Yes, he did throw three touchdowns to the one and only Cole Comet. He only threw for 123 passing yards. He did, however, have 178 rushing yards. Yes, 178 talk about getting you the clamped. My goodness. And a Russian touchdown. Yeah, I mean, that's the record. He took the record from Michael Vic, right? Michael Vic previously had the record for the most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback and I'm pretty sure this is an NFL record. Most rushing yards in a game by a quarterback. Justin Fields today did not realize that. I'll have to look that up, but he had a total of 301 offensive yards and four total touchdowns. You know, Justin Fields has been on an absolute tear over the past five weeks. He's currently ranked QB one on the week. Guys, is this just a hot streak or is Justin Fields locked in as an every week starter for the foreseeable future? I mean, this is it was the easier than it was the easier matchup. Take that into account. This week's kind of expected a high score in game, but still that that amount of rushing plays and like Simon has been bringing up, you know, these design rush plays for Justin Fields really give him that that upside as a rushing quarterback. So most situations, I think I'm going to be starting them. People are letting that stank from the first four weeks cloud their judgment this week. This week's going to wash all the stank off. Know what I mean? Anybody that was still doubting it, they're done, but Justin Fields is an every week starter. The first four weeks were rough. He didn't finish higher than QB 23 in any of those first four weeks, but the past five weeks, if we assume QB one this week, QB 13, QB eight, QB five, QB five, QB one, and in each of those games, he's had at least 60 rushing yards and four of those five and above 80 and three of those five games. Like the dudes run in the ball. It's a cheat code for fantasy. You have to just plug them in there. That's almost two touchdowns, two passing touchdowns just on the ground. That's why these guys are considered the Konami code QVs. Did you see when he rushed for one first down or went into the Dolphin sideline? Mike McDaniels just looked at Justin Fields as he walked by. He said, stop doing that. And they were laughing about it. It was hilarious. You got to look it up. Good. So you just look straight at him to stop doing that. Justin Fields is laughing as he was coming off on for the on the ground. Yes. Justin Fields got it done, but for the Dolphins, little more interesting Raheem Mostert started the game, but Jeff Wilson Jr. was definitely involved. He matched him in the amount of carries. Both had nine touches, but Mostert kind of disappointed when it comes to a yards per carry, 2.9 yards per carry for a total of 26 yards. Jeff Wilson average 5.7 yards per carry for 51 yards. And yes, Mostert did get the rushing touchdown, but he did not have any catches where Jeff Wilson was involved with three catches for 31 yards. You had to choose one of these guys for the rest of the season. Which Dolphins running back would you rather have Jeff Wilson or Raheem Mostert? No, no, thank you. That's okay though. Thanks for the offer, Jen. Really? I go heartedly disagree. I think this is going to be a mess. Like, I think it's going to be difficult to predict who the fantasy running back to the scores each week is and you're it's going to be a hot hand approach. So that's what it looks like. We're going to see here if Jeff Wilson's performing better, they're going to they're going to ride him. If he Mostert's hot out there, they're going to keep writing him. It's the lack of predictability to me. I don't see one of these backs separating themselves and they got Jeff Wilson involved first game back. Yeah, I am and that's why I am firmly on the Jeff Wilson side of this. This is his first game on this team and they're using him. They gave him split carries with with Raheem Mostert and more receiving work, which he did something with. He had three targets, three receptions, 21 yards and a receiving touchdown. Raheem Mostert had two targets. Didn't catch a single one of them. Didn't catch a single one of them. Jeff Wilson to me is like this was a fantastic first impression and I only expected to go out from here. I completely agree with you, JL. I know I don't say that very often, but I do. I think Jeff Wilson's a potential league winner. I said it before this week. I think that it is even if it is a split backfield, I think he's a more explosive explosive of the two players. Mostert has been fine, but I think he's really been more of a volume based play. I think Jeff Wilson's going to take over this backfield, but even if he doesn't, I think he's a fine play. And if Mostert who we know has not be able to stay healthy over his career, if he's goes down with an injury, Jeff Wilson does see all that volume. I'm looking to acquire him everywhere I can. I think Jeff Wilson Jr. is a low risk, high reward play and somebody I want pretty much everywhere I can get him. I've got no problem acquiring him, but I am much less optimistic than you guys that there's going to be that level of clarity in this backfield. I think it's going to be very hard to predict weekend week out, which one of these guys has the big fantasy game. Because they're both good backs. We've seen where he most would have great games this year so far. They're not just going to throw into the sideline because Jeff Wilson came in and had a decent game on nine carries where he most are still going to be involved here. I think when they're with both of them playing, I think you can plug them in as back end RV twos. And then the one who gets the hot hand or it's towards the top, you know, the multiple touchdown something like that is the one that you're going to be happy with. Now, I agree with what you're saying. I just think it's worth the risk, especially in this offense. I feel you. I do like this offense. It's fun to watch. Absolutely. On the bear side of the ball, Justin Fields, you know, he had so many yards that really wasn't much left for any of the other guys. David Montgomery had 14 carries only 36 yards. Khalil Herbert really didn't get much done on the ground. Honestly, I think it's just one of those games. I think they're both where they have been for the past couple of weeks. I think both of them are RB twos. I like Khalil Herbert a lot, especially the way he's looked. David Montgomery did get dinged up, but he returned to the game. Not a whole lot outside of old Cole Comet getting a couple of carries. That was that was pretty interesting. Guess they're getting getting fancy out there. Receiving. I mean, what else can you say about the dolphins? They got two absolute stud wide receivers. Tyree Kill, Jalen Waddle. They're both firmly wide receiver ones. You know, Jeff Wilson, Jr. also caught a pass a passing touchdown. They're really not anybody else on this team for the receivers. Everything's funneled through Jalen Waddle and Tyree Kill and as good as Tua has looked, I think they're both locked in as wide receiver ones for the rest of the season. What do you guys think? Wide receiver ones play them every single week and this is what you love to see in fantasy. Concentrated targets. It's it's easy to predict where the ball is going to go in Miami Jalen Waddle and Tyree Kill. Yep. The guy that was hyped all off season that has disappointed but came back to life the one and only Mr. Cole Comet. Six targets, five catches, 41 yards. He fits that description as well. I would you you ruin the bit, Jalen. That was where I was going. You ruin the bit. Oh, my bad. I didn't read your mind. Yeah, you should. Yeah. Yep. You should have anyways. It's OK. It's OK. Cole start over. We'll pretend like we didn't hear it, Jay. Just start the whole bit over. Just talk faster this time. I don't even know what I was going to say. Cole Comet really played well today. Six catches. Is he somebody you're comfortable starting every week now with Justin Fields playing better or is it simply a matchup dependent start? I think he's still in the glob. What a week for Cole Comet. Like you're excited to see this, but I need to see a little bit more consistency from him before he's an every week start. Justin Fields isn't an every week start because we expect him to throw three touchdowns every week. He's an every week start because he's going to get you 60 to 80 rushing yards on the ground and that's a free touchdown plus whatever he does through the air. So I'm not like super bought in to Cole Comet. I've got more confidence than I did earlier in the season, but he's not an every week plug and play tight end in my eyes. Great game though. Yeah, I agree with Simon. You know, six targets is fantastic to see last week. He got two targets for that. He got three targets. So like we do have to see some some increase in past volume here. Justin Fields only through 28 times this game. I'd like to see that increase as well. The guy who was overhyped at the beginning of the season has disappointed but turned it on today. One Mr. Darnell Mooney. Nailed it. How do you like that? Eight targets, seven catches. A little disappointing on the yardage, but he did catch a touchdown. Darnell Mooney, is he somebody you guys are comfortable starting every week or is this another case of, you know, a game that was just a shootout? One thing like he said, JL, I'm concerned with the passing volume in this offense, but you got to be excited with what you saw at a Darnell Mooney today. Yeah, the reason just my last answer. That was exactly what I was going to do. I was going to repeat word for word what I said for Cole Comet, but then just plug Darnell Mooney's name in there. It's the same analysis. It's the same thing. It's the same offense. You got us JL. No, Darnell Mooney, you can play him. You can play him week in week out, but you're not expecting why to see the one numbers from him and you're hoping he gets in the end zone. Chase Kaipel did have six targets. Any excitement for him long term or do you think this is just a long season form? Absolutely. I'm excited for him long term. I mean, I just don't know how excited you can be for secondary receiving options in Chicago. I still don't think week in week out they're going to be throwing the ball enough. Well, he said, then the follow up question was, or is this a lost season for him? So I think he met long term as in the rest of this year. I'm not excited for him for fantasy rest of the 2022 NFL season. I am excited for him in dynasty. I think you should go by low on Chase Claypool. It's promising to see him get six targets, but he's not a player. I'm thinking you're going to get much fantasy relevancy from rest of this season. Maybe. Maybe. I mean, six targets. He could turn it into something, but again, I think you're going to lack consistency from Chase Claypool. Joe, we had some questions come in here before we move on to our next game. SOS, one of the thoughts on swift rest of season seems to be getting healthier, but I'd okay. I'd okay. You were, you were hyping up DeAndre Swift so hard this morning on the morning show. Um, how do you feel about DeAndre Swift rest of season? I was hyping DeAndre Swift because you play DeAndre Swift if he's playing. I feel, yeah. I mean, it definitely worries some. You only got two rushing attempts today for 10 yards. I feel like he's, yeah, these injuries are going to linger. So you have to be aware of that. We have to see if he's able to heal as he goes forward. He's got Chicago, the Giants, and then Buffalo the next three weeks, which aren't really fantastic matchups. So definitely some worry. Hopefully you have some Jamal Williams buying them. You just got to get healthy. He's just got to get healthy and then he'll be fine. We got Schmid 14 in here. What's up, Schmid? I think this is my cousin. He wanted to know what are the chances Kamara scores 30.19 points tomorrow, not to be specific. Jail, what do you think the chances are? Not specifically, that Kamara scores 30.19 points tomorrow. I think your chances are pretty low, but you never know. He scored six touchdowns in one game before. So do it again here. I'm not calling for a 30 point game from anybody else. It's Derek Henry against the Texans. Then I might call for that. But Kamara, it's in his range of outcomes. He's one of the more likely players to hit 30 points. If it's PPR, I mean, you've got, you got to feel like it's definitely within the realm of possibility. Absolutely. Grim fan in here said moving on in the Survivor League. Man, week 10, you must have picked the Seahawks this morning. He was asking a Seahawks or Cardinals. He must have picked the Seahawks and he wants to pick Atlanta going into next week. Who do the Falcons have in next week's game? We got the Panthers on Thursday night. How are you guys feeling about the Falcons against the Panthers on Thursday night for the next week's Survivor Pool pick? Where is it in Atlanta or is it in Carolina? I believe it's in Carolina if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, it's in Carolina. Yeah, I can't take a divisional. I would look elsewhere. I even though the Panthers did not look good today. Divisional game on the road Thursday night. Stranger things have happened. It's not like Atlanta is a heavy favorite by any means. I would look elsewhere if possible. Grim, I'm going to be real with you. I'm going to chew my own horn. I feel like I'm pretty good helping you out with running back, start sits, wide receiver, start sits. Eliminator pool is my kryptonite. I make the wrong calls consistently and you're still alive going into week 10. If you think it's a good play, it's probably a good play. You've gotten nine right so far. Jail, how do you feel about Atlanta against Carolina? Yeah, I stuff. I think that is going to be closer to a 50-50 toss-ups in division game. I don't know. I don't know what your other options are. And I believe Grim fan is a Jets fan. So shout out on the win if I am correct there. I believe, believe is a Jets fan. That's a huge win. We had a question in here from BT said, I need Olave, Kenyon Frank and Isaiah likely to score a combined 27 points for me to win on Monday. You think I have a chance? So we already talked a little bit about Kenyon Frank, but whenever you add Kenyon Frank, Chris Olave and Isaiah likely, how likely is it that he scores 27 combined points tomorrow night? I'd say it's pretty likely. I'd pencil in Kenyon Drake for roughly 10 points. You know, I think a safe number for Olave is somewhere around there. So you're looking seven ish points for Isaiah likely. I think it's likely. I think it's likely. I'm with you, Jay. I would give if I had to bet my money on this BT, I'd give you the W jail. Do you agree? I would. I do agree. I think that as long as it's PPR players can absolutely do that. I do declare. I meant to say agree, but then I forgot what word I was going to say. You'll think I think just Olave and Kenyon Frank will get 27 points combined. I will now be calling him Kenyon Frank for frankly, it's likely to give to give BT some credit. They did correct themselves with Kenyon Drake. And I immediately I chose to ignore it because Kenyon Frank is hilarious. I would do the same. Kenyon Frank. You should get a custom Ravens jersey with his number. It says Frank on the back. Kenyon Frank. You got to get the full name though. Guys, we're going to move on to our next game. Another exciting game, but from a different perspective than that Dolphins Bears game. The Cincinnati Bengals absolutely demolished the Carolina Panthers final score 42 to 21. But even though that shows a three touchdown went by the Bengals, it does not accurately portray just how much they dominated this game. Bengals got out to a big lead early. They were up 35 to 0 at halftime. So Panthers were able to put up some garbage time points there in the third and fourth quarter of a garbage time started after halftime for the Panthers. It was already garbage time whenever halftime hit. Joe Burrow left the game during the third quarter. They brought Brandon Allen in as well. Like they didn't even need their starter for most of the second half in this game either. And a lot of that was due to the performance by one Mr. Joe Mixon. Joe Mixon scored 55.1 PPR fantasy points had over 40 at halftime. He had 211 total yards, five total touchdowns and that came from 153 yards on the ground with four rushing touchdowns, 58 receiving yards and a touchdown through the air as well. Great job Joe Mixon. I saw somewhere, I don't remember the exact stat but it was like he was somewhere around RB 15, RB 13 before this game. He jumped all the way up to RB 2 on the season with this performance. So that's quite the jump. I was talking to my girlfriend. I was like Joe Mixon just scored his fourth touchdown of the day and she's like, Oh, I hope I'm not playing them. And then I walked into the other room and I hear from the other room. Crap! Joe Mixon was on her opponent's team dropping and it was a league with weird scoring over a hundred points in that league. JL, did you happen to face Joe Mixon in any leaks this week? I don't know. I have won so many of them. It's hard to keep track. Okay. Yeah. Are you done bragging, Jay? No, I'm not. Okay. Cause it was going to be my turn to brag about the league I started on it. But going forward Joe Mixon so far this year has been relatively inefficient on the ground behind a weak Bengals offensive line. Now we see this game, Jay, like you mentioned, just launching him up the rankings. I think he isn't like he is an RB one in every week start, but how high is that ceiling for him now that we've seen this? Does he have this kind of upside rest of season or was this just one of those games where everything went his way? I do think he has this type of upside for the rest of the season. Yes, he's been inefficient, but this new offensive line is still gelling. There's still, you know, becoming a unit. What I've loved about Joe Mixon this whole year, he's getting targets. Everybody says he doesn't get involved in the passing game, but he's consistently been involved. He's getting a lot of targets. Excuse me. Go ahead, Jay. Uh, he said go ahead, like I was supposed to finish his thought. Yeah, thanks. Jay was saying. He's talking about Joe Nixon's upside rest of season. Yeah, Joe Mixon is, oh, and he was saying that he doesn't get involved in the passing game and everybody says that do people say that he doesn't get involved in passing game Simon? That's been a narrative. That's been a narrative for Joe Mixon is that his upside is capped because he's not a receiving back. Yeah, I mean, if that's been a myth, then let's consider it busted because just look at his, uh, interesting. I knew that was going to be a banger as soon as I started saying it. I was like, yep, this is a good one. Come back after the myth buster thing. Thanks for finishing my thought for me, Jay. You're welcome. Tons of targets all the time. Target, target, big time. Have fun. If that's a myth, consider it busted. Next, guys. Are we sponsored by Discovery now? Is that what this is? Yeah, you're telling us. You know, one time for my, uh, for a project in high school, we had to do a semester long project and I submitted a proposal that was literally just an episode of myth busters. Like it was something I watched them do and I was like, for sure, this is going to get rejected. And then it got approved and I just took the results from the myth busters experiment and turned in my semester long project. Um, I tried to do the experiment, but then I accidentally killed 10 goldfish and wasn't about to kill another 10. So I was like, they already did this. I'll just change the numbers a little bit and throw it together. Like, was it progressive? Like, did you kill like one to 10 in a row? Or was it all 10 at once? Like all 10 at once died. Okay. Um, I was putting goldfish, I was putting them through anything else. Yeah. No, it was pretty sad. It was horribly sad. It really hurt my feelings and that's why I did not buy another 10 and that's why I plagiarized myth busters. Uh, it's okay. I was an accident. Guys on the other side of the ball. Um, PJ Walker ended up getting benched for Baker Mayfield in this game. They do you think this is a permanent benching or just they were out of contention? Let's throw Baker Mayfield and see what we got going on. I mean, you would, you would think that the way that PJ Walker's looked the past couple of games, he's, you know, gained another start, but honestly, I would not piece of pros to see Baker Mayfield make the start on Thursday as bad as PJ Walker look today. It was rough. I mean, he had more, what was it? More attempts than yards like that. That's, that's not a good sign. Um, yeah, I think you're going to see Baker on Thursday. Jill, do you agree? Is Baker the starter for this team now? Uh, yeah. I mean, I kind of expected this at some point. These wheels were going to fall off. I've been, been saying the last couple of weeks at the matchups the last, uh, for him have been pretty, pretty enticing the last couple of weeks, even though he's had these big plays, it looked good. Cincinnati was going to give him more of a run for his money. And so I think we could see a switch. He's got Atlanta again next week, which is not fantastic defense. Uh, they've got Baltimore and Denver, which are both pretty good defenses. Absolutely. Baker came in and played pretty well. He threw two touchdowns compared to PJ Walker, two interceptions, one going to a player. We talked about this morning, jail, Mr. Terrace Marshall seems to be getting more involved in this offense. Jail, is Terrace Marshall a startable weekly player at this point in the season? I think you can flex him in. Yeah, absolutely. Um, you have to keep an eye on how this, this Panthers offense continue, continually shifts as the season goes on. Who the quarterback is going to be, but Terrace Marshall is starting to carve out a role for himself. He was a talented prospect and this is initial season just really was derailed. So I could see him getting more involved here. Someone to keep on your radar, but I'm not, he's not an every week. I'll start now. Looking at the running backs. Now this was a game where they got down big earlier. They were down 35 zero at halftime, which often limits the running game. But there were high expectations for Deon to form and coming off of last week's huge performance. This week, he only had seven carries for 23 yards. Undrafted free agent rookie, Raheem Blackshire, who they signed off of the bills practice squad earlier this year had five carries to Deon to form and seven for 13 yards. And he's the one who got a touchdown as well this week day. Was this just a game script thing? They were out of it. Maybe seeing what they got in this rookie on their team. Or are you worried about Deon to form it? I'm not worried about them because I didn't have unrealistic expectations after the huge game we saw last week. I think there's always that possibility, especially with Chiva Hubbard out when he's going to get the majority of the work. I think that you're going to see better days ahead for Deon to form him, but he's not that fringe RV one that a lot of people were crowning him as because of the volume that he saw last week in the huge game. I think he's a RV two that has a really high ceiling and a really low floor. Yeah, guys, let's go ahead and move on to our next game. Not much else to talk about there and we got to make sure we hit on this one. The New York Jets taking down the Buffalo Bills 20 to 17, bringing the Bills to 0 and 2 in their division this year so far. Dustin, I know Dustin is pretty happy that we are hitting on this one. Excuse me. Buffalo 10 and a half point favorites going into this game. The Jets covered the total was 46, which the under was hit. They only scored 37 points in this game. Man, let's sort of on the Josh Allen side of this or no sort of the Jets side of this guys because the Jets man Jets are Jets are looking good. Are the Jets legitimate Super Bowl contenders this year? No. No, no, not with Zach Wilson at quarterback. Zach Wilson is not good enough to lead a team to a Super Bowl. Now, I will say I do think they can make the playoffs. I got a lot of shade for that jail. Whenever I said that on the morning show the other day, not from you, but from people in the chat, people coming in saying that the Jets were no way playoff contenders. They are. Look at this. If they can beat the bills 20 to 17 and with what we've seen from them so far this year, these are this is a team that could threaten in the wild card around. I just can't see them going all the way with Zach Wilson and without Breece Hall. It's going to be rough. What about you, Jay? Are the you think the Jets could be legitimate Super Bowl contenders this year beating the Bills? I think that Simon hit the nail on the head with one of his last statements of Breece Hall was on this team. I could see it because he could lean on him while Michael Carter had a decent game and James Robinson, I believe caught a touchdown. They just they're not balanced enough. Zach Wilson isn't the type of player that's going to be able to carry this team on his back. I think they'll make the playoffs and I would not be surprised to see them win a game, but Super Bowl contender. I think it's still a little too early. Sorry. Dustin said skip next game, but then we got grim in here. J E T S Jets Jets Jets Jets Jets. Yes, the Jets pulled out a win in this game. It was pretty wild. Garrett Wilson had had a he said now had two great fantasy games over the past two weeks. You guys think that this is Garrett Wilson's breakout and see he had 17.9 fantasy points, eight receptions, nine targets, 92 yards and 11 I'm sorry and no touchdowns this week. Receiving game. You guys think this is Garrett Wilson's breakout? I wouldn't say breakout because he kind of had his breakout earlier in the year. I know it's been some rough sledding since then, but I think there's no doubt that the Jets want him to be the alpha in this wide receiver core. I don't understand why they refuse to get Elijah Moore involved. No targets again today. I think Elijah Moore is extremely talented, but I think Garrett Wilson is definitely the one to roster and I think he's pretty much an every week start. I think you're there's going to be some lean days, especially with Zach Wilson, only throwing the ball 25 times, but looks like this offense, at least through the air goes to Garrett Wilson. And I think he's somebody you can feel pretty confident throwing in your lineup. It's exactly what I was going to say. He's the only Jets wide receiver uncomfortable starting that being said, I'm not like thrilled every week. You're going to have bad games from Garrett Wilson just due to the passing volume here, but that being said, he can do this as well. If he's getting nine targets, you're pretty happy about throwing them in your lineup. So where do you guys see him finishing and a season? Receiver two range probably. I think back end wide receiver two is where I see him finishing. He'll have big blow up games. He'll probably have some top 12 games and will also have games reason that wide receiver three wide receiver four range back there in like the 40s, 50s. I completely agree. And you guys are like the same person. We are guys form your own glob. Well, so I mean, I was I'm insulted. On the on the running back side of the New York Jets ball, we got see Michael Carter 12 carries 76 yards and a touchdown. James Robinson 13 carries 48 yards. No touchdown. We're seeing the split a little more even now. Are either of these guys are you guys starting either of these guys going forward? What's the what's your take on the Jets running back situation here? I was real confused because I know James Robinson was listed as questionable yesterday. They weren't even sure if he was going to play, but then they said, okay, questionable, but we're going to play him this week. And the dude was involved pretty heavily in this offense and came down with a touchdown. I hate to parrot kind of what I said with the with the dolphins, but I do think this is going to be a little bit messy. I think both of these running backs are going to be involved and there's a reason they added James Robinson here and it's because they don't want to give Michael Carter the full workload. That being said, they're probably in RB three range. I think you can start both of them and you're hoping for a touchdown. I see Grim fan in the chest of J Rob did catch a touchdown today is absolutely right. I didn't mention the receiving stats, but two receptions, two targets and a receiving touchdown receiving touchdown for James Robinson this week. Yeah, I think Simon hit the nail on the head. One thing I will say, you know, it's time to start looking at some playoff matchups of the Jets. One of the reasons I was super excited for breeze all not just because he looked good, but they have a fantastic playoff schedule when it comes to running backs. Detroit, Jacksonville and Seattle three of the teams that give up the most fantasy points to opposing running backs. I think you're looking at back end RB twos with both of these guys. You know, RB three status like Simon said and you know, in the right matchups, they can put up some pretty big games, but I think there are going to be some lean game. You know, if James Robinson didn't catch that touchdown, you would not be happy right now. Yeah. No, I'm with you. I'm with you. I don't know that either of them are really that reliable, but I can I think they're flex where he starts. Moving on to the bill side of this ball. Josh Allen. He ended up having a pretty good fantasy game, 26.8 fantasy points, 18 completions on 34 attempts, 205 yards. He did have two interceptions and two fumbles in this game. So not really not a fantastic game for him football wise. He had nine carries for 86 yards and two rushing touchdowns with gate, which really buoyed his fantasy performance here. Would you guys see from Josh Allen Sweet what was going wrong? Well, I remember they pointed it out on the broadcast. He did get hit in the arm and it looked like he was banged up a little bit. It was close. I believe it was in the third quarter. Looks like maybe just some soreness, but that could have affected his play today. He's still Josh Allen. You're not benching Josh Allen. You're continuing to play him week in week out. That being said, monitor that arm because we've seen these elite quarterbacks play and have sub part play compared to expectations is look at Justin Herbert with the rib injury through the past couple weeks of this season. I don't expect that from Josh Allen, but keep an eye on it because it did look like he hurt his arm at some point during that game. Yeah, that's a good good point. Moving on to the running backs here. The Devin Singletary, James Cook, Isaiah McKinsey all got some work. Naim Hines did have a target in this game, but other than that received no rushing attempts. Devin Singletary still the main guy. There were only 8.8 fantasy points this week. He had eight carries, 24 yards, no touchdowns. This is largely a, you know, this is a close game, so they were passing a lot. So they just didn't end up using a lot of the running backs. Are you guys, how are you guys viewing these guys going forward? Are you are you confident throwing them in your lineup or are they more of a sit week in week out for Devin Singletary? I still like Devin Singletary. I think that he's somebody who this is what you expect from him. I mean, you knew that Josh Allen is able to run the ball. You know, he likes to call his own number in the red zone. I think that, you know, the games that Buffalo Buffalo is going to be up in a plenty of games. They're a very good team. You're going to see better days, more production out of Devin Singletary, but with Josh Allen able to run the ball, you're going to have games like this. Yeah, and for I keep going back to what our, what Sal Capaccio told us, the Bills Beat reporter whenever we were asking about these trade rumors about Alvin Camara about CMC to the Bills. And he said, I don't understand these trade rumors because we have Josh Allen and this team runs through Josh Allen. Why spend all of our future draft capital on these backs when we know the winning recipe is to let Josh Allen throw the ball, let Josh Allen run the ball. So you're going to see games like this. This isn't a team that needs the run to be successful. That being said, they didn't find success today. There's better games ahead for Devin Singletary. Yeah, I'm with him. Guys, I know, uh, I know Sunday Night Football is about to kick off. It's got that seven 20 start time before we go though. I know we had some questions in the chat, one from Grimfan that I wanted to hit jail. Grimfan said I need 42 points from Camara, DuVernay and Robert Woods between tonight and tomorrow. Do I have a chance to win? John Luke, how do you like Grimfan's chances? 42 points from Camara, DuVernay and Robert Woods. Doing some quick back of the napkin math here. I think, uh, how many do they need? 42? 42. That's going to be close. That's going to be real close. I feel like I'll give you a, I'll give you a 47% chance. Jay, how do you feel about Grimfan's chances of winning this game? You go with a 46% chance. Think if Bobby Trees is able to get in the end zone. I think you get a pretty good shot. He's the key. I think DuVernay and Camara are going to put up pretty solid numbers. It's depends on what Bobby Trees can do tonight. Maybe you can get some garbage time. DuVernay is the key for me in this one because I don't have much faith in Robert Woods. I think you need a touchdown or two from DuVernay and then you got a shot. But I'd put your odds at around 40% a little bit less optimistic than these guys but still in the range of outcomes. Everyone who hung out with us today. Thank you so much for choosing to spend your evening before Sunday night football with us. We'll be back here next week. Same time, same place. But if you want to see some more of us head on over to our YouTube channel at front yard fantasy. Check out our videos there and hit that subscribe button if you enjoy what you're seeing over there. Guys, real quick predictions. Final score the chief's Titans game jail. I don't know. 31 10 31 10 J 45 14 and I'll say 27 to 6. I do not think the Titans are going to get much going at all guys. We will see you next week until then though. We are out of here. Enjoy the rest of your week 9 and good luck in your fantasy matchups. Bye bye.
