2:01This is Fantasy Football Today from CBS Sports. What a play!
2:04Can you believe this? You have no idea. It's time to dominate your fantasy league.
2:09Off to the races! And he stays at his feet!
2:12He's just going to go the distance! Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
2:17Start or sit here in week 4. Let's do it, everybody.
2:21The Cowboys are at the Texans. How did their offense do against great defenses in 2025?
2:26What does that mean for week 4? The Chargers are at the Seahawks.
2:30Over or under 13.5 points for the Chargers this week, guys.
2:34Is that their season average? I don't even know.
2:36I probably less. So I think their implied total is 18, which is one of the lower of the week.
2:43Okay. All right. So Heath's going to take the over.
2:46Derek Henry faces the Titans for the first time in his career.
2:50Over or under 1.5 touchdowns for Henry. Over. Over.
2:52Actually, after what Jeffrey Simmons said. Ooh, what did he say?
2:56Just go read it. Oh, okay. The Jets are at the Bears.
3:00Do the Jets have more players to start than the Bears?
3:03That's a great question. Yes. Okay. Do they have the better tight end?
3:07Yes. Yes. Yes. Do they have a better quarterback?
3:10Yes. I don't want to start either one. Do they have the top wide receiver?
3:15Yes. Yep. Okay. We'll stop there. And let's talk about it all right now on Fantasy Football Today.
3:21Jamie, give me one game you cannot wait to watch this week.
3:24One game I cannot wait to watch this week.
3:27Saints-Falcons. Okay. I know where you're going with that.
3:30Heath, give me one game that you would force your worst enemy to watch this week.
3:35Steelers-Browns. That's worse than Dolphins-Vikings? That's a bad one.
3:38That's a bad one. All right. Let's get into the players we love.
3:42Brought to you by Stitch Fix. If you're like me and clothes shopping isn't your thing, Stitch Fix has you covered.
3:49Get styled today at stitchfix.com slash football. Jamie, why do you like that Saints-Falcons game so much?
3:54I'm excited to see Tyler Shuck once again. He's started the week for this week.
3:59So looking forward to hopefully another strong game from him.
4:02He's been awesome so far this season. And, you know, if you look at our rankings, it's as much as I think everybody's starting him to begin with.
4:11But it's more of like a confidence thing. We all have him as a top three quarterback for this week.
4:17So hopefully he delivers and delivers in a big way.
4:20So you're starting him over a lot of, you know, primetime quarterbacks and a lot of guys that you clearly drafted him ahead of.
4:28But 24.4 fantasy points in each game so far this season.
4:31Two games over 29 fantasy points. Last time he played Atlanta, he scored 23.8.
4:36And Falcons have allowed Bryce Young and Jordan Love to each score 22.5.
4:40So big opportunity here for Tyler Shuck to keep it going, especially if the run game stinks as it could be with Travis H.
4:47hand gone. But the run game hasn't been good to begin with.
4:51So I think Shuck just has another solid outing against the Falcons.
4:55All right. Two other players Jamie loves this week.
4:58Aaron Jones against Miami. And this, the last one's a little tricky, Jamie.
5:02Terry McLaurin against the Colts. I guess I have this slight concern that Sauce Gardner is going to shadow him.
5:08But talk about Aaron Jones and not a slight concern, like a 30% concern.
5:12Aaron Jones and Terry McLaurin. Well, I mean, the three starting running backs that have faced the Dolphins have all been awesome so far.
5:20And Jones coming off a game where he was finally used as a pass catcher, which was exciting to see.
5:26So hopefully that continues. We'll see what Justin Jefferson's role is.
5:30Maybe that has a factor in just how much Jones catches the ball.
5:34But it was the first full game with Kyler Murray.
5:37So I think that's encouraging for Jones, especially with Jordan Mason still out with the thumb injury.
5:42For McLaurin, look, it's back-to-back games with nine targets.
5:45He's clearly getting involved to the level that we were hoping to see.
5:49And it's now four of six games going back to last season with Marcus Mariota, where he scored at least 14 or more PPR points.
5:57So I'm just hopeful that this connection continues. So yes, the Sauce Gardner scenario is worth exploring.
6:03But I think we've seen receivers so far have success against this defense with Gardner on the field.
6:08So I'm not really so worried about that in terms of him shutting down Terry McClellan.
6:13Yeah, no, definitely receivers have had success. I don't think Sauce has followed anyone so far.
6:18Let's see. They've faced... He followed Zay Flowers a couple times in week one into the end zone.
6:24Yeah, you can't follow Zay Flowers. They've faced Zay Flowers, they've faced Rasheed Rice, and they've faced Xavier Hutchinson.
6:30So he hasn't been... He actually looked at his PFF profile.
6:34He hasn't really been traveling so far this season, Sauce Gardner.
6:37He did a little bit last year. All right, so to recap, it's Tyler Shuck Monday night against Atlanta, Aaron Jones against
6:44Miami, Terry McLaurin against the Colts in London. Heath, who do you love this week?
6:49You know what? This one will... Bryce Young, Braylon Allen, Dalton Schultz.
6:52So Bryce Young was someone that we all got excited about after two very good games.
6:57And then things didn't go so well against the Browns.
7:01In fact, they went terribly. I'm going right back to him because he's facing the Detroit Lions.
7:06Don't think that defense is going to get near as much pressure on him as the Browns did.
7:12Their secondary is certainly not as good as the Browns.
7:15And Detroit's going to score 30 points like they always do.
7:18So Bryce Young is going to throw a bunch of passes.
7:22Braylon Allen is a top 24 running back for me.
7:25I would start him over Omari and Hampton. I would start him over a couple other guys we'll talk about later.
7:32I just think there's only been one time in his career that he had 15 touches.
7:37And he scored 12 fantasy points without a touchdown.
7:39I think he gets probably 15 to 18 touches in this game.
7:43The Bears have been one of the worst run defenses in the NFL.
7:47We saw Saquon Barkley basically do whatever he want when they gave him the ball last week.
7:53Braylon Allen's not Saquon Barkley, but he's pretty good and he has big play ability.
7:57And then Dalton Schultz. I expect some people will go away from him after he only had three targets last week.
8:04And now that Nico Collins is back, I am not.
8:07First off, love revenge game narrative against the Dallas Cowboys.
8:10Second off, the Cowboys are the team that's responsible for Isaiah Likely being someone that we start a tight end right now.
8:17They've given up three touchdowns to tight ends through three weeks.
8:21And the Texans have an implied total of 24.5, which will be one of their larger numbers of the year.
8:27So Braylon Allen is up to 90% rostered, fourth most added player in CBS leagues behind the Dolphins running backs and the Bears DST, which is interesting.
8:36The Bears DST. Hmm. Okay. Don't like that. Yeah.
8:38That is weird. They're up to 69% rostered. They were 27% rostered.
8:42But okay. Do you guys? Sportsline has them projected for a very big game.
8:47Interesting. Do you like? Okay. I'm kind of stunned by this.
8:50But Braylon Allen versus, let's say, the Commanders wide receivers.
8:53You know, just to bring in Terry McLaurin in here.
8:56What would you do? And this is where you got like, these guys are going to get some catches, good matchup.
9:03What would you do with Braylon Allen against a wide receiver in that range?
9:07Heath? Oh, I think I will definitely have Allen ahead of those guys in half PPR.
9:12I think I would start him over him in all four minutes.
9:16Jamie? I'd go the receivers. I think that's going to be a potentially high-scoring game.
9:21And I don't know if Allen's going to catch any passes.
9:24So we could be looking at a trap back here.
9:28Well. And listen, I'm excited about Allen. I'm just curious to see how this is all going to work.
9:34You know, he didn't exactly show himself to be skilled in that regard last week after Brees Hall left.
9:40Yeah, I want to just see Braylon Allen for what it's worth.
9:43He's averaged 3.7 yards per carry on 129 carries in his career.
9:47His longest 20 yards. It's a volume play against a terrible defense.
9:51So, gosh, you say you start him over Omari and Hampton.
9:54We're about to talk about that. I hate Omari and Hampton this week.
9:58But thank you to Stitch Fix for sponsoring today's Players We Love.
10:02Stitch Fix takes the hassle out of clothes shopping.
10:05Just take a quick style quiz, share your size, your vibe, and your budget, and you'll be matched with a real human
10:12stylist who will send you a first fix with clothes that fit and make sense for your life.
10:18So stop shopping and get styled today at stitchfix.com slash football.
10:21That's stitchfix.com slash football. Heath is avoiding Drake May at Buffalo, Omari and Hampton at Seattle, and Emeka Abuka against the Packers.
10:28Let's start with Hampton. Yeah, there's not a lot to like here going up against this defense.
10:34And I think because of the state of the running back position, I still have him at RB24.
10:39It's obviously a lot lower than you drafted him.
10:42There's a lot of guys that were drafted behind him that I would start over him, and one guy that wasn't drafted
10:49in some leagues, apparently, Braylon Allen, that I would start over him.
10:53But I just, I don't even know if Hampton is a volume play.
10:57He's because Keaton Mitchell's involvement, and now Kamani Vidal's playing a little bit too.
11:01He's not doing anything in the passing game, which is really the only way that running backs have success against the Seahawks.
11:08They're giving up 2.9 yards per carry on the season.
11:11We thought they were one of the best defenses in the NFL.
11:15They've been one of the best defenses in the NFL in terms of the run defense.
11:20So I wish I could rank him lower, and I'm actively seeking for running backs to move into the top 24 ahead of him.
11:28But I'd start Basial Tootin over him. I don't like David Montgomery anymore, and they're talking about him losing work to what he marks.
11:35I'd start David Montgomery over him. I'd start Braylon Allen over him.
11:39Cam Scadaboo, obviously. Chuba Hubbard, obviously. Like a lot of guys that were drafted behind him.
11:44And all Hampton does is run up the middle, basically.
11:47And if you go watch Ja'Cory Krosky-Merritt last week, that's all he did.
11:51And he averaged, I think, 1.9 yards per carry.
11:54Drake May at Buffalo, Emeka Egbuka against Green Bay.
11:57Yeah, I think the Drake May thing is probably pretty obvious to people at this point.
12:02Jamie didn't even rank him. He's in my top 24.
12:05I guess I'd still start him in a 2QB league if I had to, although there are several guys that were on
12:12the waiver wire that I would start over him.
12:15Just playing awful football right now. I don't want to drop him because when a guy was as good as he was
12:22last year, and it's just this comically bad, I kind of hope that something's going to click.
12:27And he snaps back a little bit. And then eventually AJ Brown will be back.
12:32But no chance I want to start him anytime soon.
12:35And who was the other one? Yeah, Emeka Buka.
12:38I mean, I guess I would say, is Bucky the only buck that you're even considering this week?
12:44Bucky is the only buck that I'm even considering this week.
12:47Okay. Jamie's got a Buka 29th, Dave 26th. Heath has him 36th.
12:51So with Jalen Daniels at quarterback. I'm curious with his profile, though, if this suits a Buka, you know, just based on
12:58the shots down the field that we may see.
13:01You know, if I was going to pick a sleeper in that game, I think I might pick Ted Hurst.
13:07Yeah. Jamie's talked about in the past, a lot of times backup quarterbacks get in and want to throw to the guys they've been working with.
13:15I would guess he's probably worked with Ted Hurst, who's now a starter, but more than he's worked with a Buka.
13:22And Hurst has that big play downfield ability also.
13:25So I'm just I'm terrified of this Bucks offense.
13:28I want to see Jalen Daniels. But I think a lot of the stuff he's going to do that excites us is with his legs.
13:35Yeah, I don't disagree. I also think if you're going that route, Tess Johnson might be the guy.
13:41Yeah. All right. Jamie says he said sit Amari and Hampton.
13:45Jamie says sit Herbert, which I think, you know, that makes sense.
13:48But McConkie's tough. Like, can we really get away from Lab McConkie?
13:52What do you expect from him? And then there's DJ Moore against New England.
13:57Yeah. Interesting. All right, Jamie. Let's talk about McConkie and Moore.
14:00Yeah, look, it's very similar to, you know, when you have a player like Amari and Hampton and you have guys like
14:07this, it's just you're looking at bad matchup and just bad production for McConkie the last two weeks.
14:13So I'm still hopeful. Look, I have him in a bunch of leagues.
14:17It's hard to sit him. You're still starting him in three or zero leagues.
14:21And that's most of the leagues I play in or, you know, flex.
14:25He's going to be in those in those conversations.
14:28But it's just a great defense. And he's he's not playing well.
14:32And DJ Moore, look, he's getting targets. He's played two full games with Josh Allen and he's gotten eight plus targets in both of those.
14:40I would assume he's still going to get his opportunities.
14:43He's going to see Christian Gonzalez and that's not going to be easy for him.
14:48So I think you're just looking at, you know, more as similar to you see, I have them ranked back to back just outside the top 24.
14:56It's hard to sit players like this. It's hard to get away from the opportunities that they should get.
15:02They are just facing tough competition. Yeah, he played against them in 2024 against Gonzalez and Gonzalez did a great job on him.
15:09So we'll see if the same thing happens. I will just say for the Chargers, like I didn't rank them very high
15:16last week, but I had this feeling that, you know, this seems like the kind of spot where they could have a
15:23blow up and make me look dumb. And all of a sudden the Chargers are a little bit back.
15:29I don't have that feeling at all this week against the Seahawks.
15:33It's just like it's it's bad vibes and it's an awful, awful matchup.
15:37Yeah, you also have Seattle going back home after a bad loss.
15:41And the one thing about Hampton, just to keep in mind, is Keaton Mitchell was in a walking boot yesterday.
15:47And so if Mitchell is out, I wonder if that helps Hampton in the past game.
15:52It could be Vidal makes a lot of sense that they just continue to do the stupid rotation that they're doing.
15:59But maybe that helps Hampton a little bit in terms of catching passes.
16:03It looks like the Seahawks are also going to get one of their starting safeties, Julian Love back to.
16:09So, you know, they struggled a little bit. I think they gave they gave the commanders some short fields last week that that worked against them.
16:17But, you know, last year the Seahawks gave up 38 points in week five against the Bucs.
16:23Then they went on the I don't know if this matters at all.
16:27They went on the road and gave up 12 points at Jacksonville.
16:30So this this defense, like an angry Seahawks defense scares the crap out of me.
16:35All right. I want to promote something here. Dave Richard doing a great job with Scott Turner, former offensive coordinator.
16:41It's the show is called Reality versus Fantasy. They record on Wednesday afternoons.
16:46Afternoons, you'll see it shortly after they record. And this week they got into the Eagles offense, the Panthers offense, the Dolphins running backs.
16:53And apparently Scott had a different opinion on this one.
16:56Malik neighbors. And you might be shocked to hear what he says about a Mecca of Bucca.
17:02So this is a this is an expert. We're just pretending.
17:05And he sits down with Dave every Wednesday and they have a great job.
17:10They do a great job. And it's on YouTube dot com slash fantasy football today.
17:14That's the only place you can see it or watch it.
17:18YouTube dot com slash fantasy football today. News and notes.
17:21Let's see. Lamar Jackson mispracticed. This shouldn't be an issue.
17:24Drake May is has a shoulder issue, but he practiced in full.
17:28Bryce Young practiced. He is a knee issue. Josh Allen is apparently not injured.
17:32Jaden Daniels was limited. Jaden Daniels still has a chance to play this week.
17:37That's J-Den for the Washington commanders. So that'd be awesome.
17:40And Ben Johnson will not say who will start this week.
17:43It doesn't seem like it'll be Caleb Williams, but we don't know if it's going to be Case Keenum or Tyson Bajan.
17:50Why would they not just start Keenum? I mean, just stop it.
17:54Yeah. Rico Dowdle is out tonight. Bucky Irving limited with a glute issue because he got knocked on his glute at the end of that game.
18:02Keaton Mitchell limited with an ankle issue. Miami running back Jalen Wright said he was very close to playing in week three.
18:09So I think we're going to expect him to play in week four at Minnesota.
18:14There is a great story from Joe Shad on the Palm Beach Post breaking down the fantasy impact of – he's a
18:21beat writer for the Dolphins – breaking down the fantasy impact of Jalen Wright versus Ollie Gordon.
18:26Just the cliff notes is he thinks Wright's the guy and he's going to get two-thirds of the touches.
18:32That would be so hilarious. Just after the Ollie Gordon vid that we saw this week.
18:37I know, but we warned everyone. That's what we said.
18:40We said we liked Wright better. Did you guys get Ollie Gordon in any leagues?
18:45Zero. I got him in our 18-team office league, which is waivers.
18:49And so there's nobody on waivers. So it was easy just to put in for him.
18:54And if I got him, I got him. I don't have to play him.
18:58I think I got him in one or two other leagues, but same thing.
19:03It was just like I'll put in claims for him.
19:06I didn't put in – I didn't get him in any fab leagues.
19:10But I got him in some waiver leagues where it was not my first claim, but did get him.
19:16The big news from that, Adam, is I may need to join the office league again next year.
19:22I think when I left the big office league, it was 26 teams.
19:26And if we get one more person drop out and I can be the 18th team, I might be back in.
19:32Okay. Count me out, by the way. ESPN's Dan Graziano says, His sense is that the Texans are going to start giving more work to Woody Marks.
19:41They get the Cowboys this week. Both Tennessee running backs mispracticed.
19:44We saw the same thing last week. And they played.
19:48Rashad White has a shoulder issue. Brees Hall mispracticed.
19:50Wide receiver. Justin Jefferson's day-to-day. Don't know if he'll play this week.
19:54Puka Nakua is expected to play. Let's see. Jalen Coker, day-to-day.
19:58Xavier Lee get week-to-week. Zach Charbonnet could start practicing this week.
20:01And if he does that, he'll have 21 days to come off the – Is he on Pup or IR?
20:07Whatever he's on. Probably Pup. Jaden Reed is out for the season.
20:11Devontae Smith mispracticed with a hamstring issue. That's probably going to be a normal thing on Wednesdays.
20:17Nico Collins practiced. Caleb Douglas did not. Adonai Mitchell did not practice.
20:20Mike Evans did not practice. And Chris Godwin did not practice.
20:24Yes, I think the Bucs are used to having Mike Evans and Chris Godwin not practice.
20:29But now they're not practicing for different teams. I think Godwin should be fine.
20:33We'll see about Evans. Terrence Ferguson mispracticed. Chigo Conquo, he was limited.
20:37He's missed a couple games. Maybe he gets back this week.
20:41Kenyon Sadiq was limited. Dallas Goddard mispracticed. And I think just for you people like Heath that are really hopeful for Bryce
20:47Young, you should know that he will be without left guard Damian Lewis for a while.
20:52But right tackle Monroe Freeling is in the concussion protocol as well.
20:56So he might be down two starters on an already thin offensive line.
21:00And that's all I'll do there. Oh, the Cowboys acquired cornerback Joey Porter.
21:04Apparently has a back issue, but maybe not. I can't imagine he'll play this week.
21:09And Aaron Donald has back soreness. He's questionable for this week's game at Philadelphia.
21:14Houston is very beat up at linebacker. That could help the Cowboys.
21:17I don't know the status of Aziz Alshire, but in terms of the length.
21:22But they're banged up at linebacker. Philadelphia linebacker Zach Bond is in the concussion protocol.
21:27That's a big deal. And then, not to get religious here for the Bills-Patriots game, but Buffalo cornerback Christian Benford mispracticed.
21:33And two Christians on the Patriots defense mispracticed. One of them is Christian Gonzalez.
21:38He has a shoulder issue. That would change things for DJ Moore.
21:41And Christian Barmore, defensive tackle. He also mispracticed. And both Panthers starting cornerbacks have long-term injuries.
21:46Mike Jackson and J.C. Horn. That is a big deal.
21:50Start Jared Goff. We'll be right back with one question.
21:53Does it help Jameson Williams? Are you going to guarantee another JMO guarantee?
21:57Eventually, it's going to happen. And I'll tell you about what the Jets did against the Lions.
22:02And not just what they did against the Lions.
22:05What the Jets do every week. They lead the league in something.
22:09We'll be right back. I'm going to talk to you right now about Omaha Steaks.

24:10Get started today. We recently took a trip to Kansas City to catch a football game, and we made a full weekend out of it.
24:18We spent some time exploring the city, made sure to get some classic Kansas City barbecue, and of course, headed to Arrowhead Stadium to take in the game.
24:27Between tailgating the crowd and the energy inside the stadium, it was an awesome experience.
24:32There's just something about a game weekend. Great food, great football, and getting to experience it all together made it a trip to remember.
24:39But while I was surrounded by fans taking in the atmosphere like I was, what hit me was just how many people
24:46were making a weekend out of it in Kansas City like I was, needing a place to hang their head after a night of tailgating and celebrating.
24:55For the local Kansas City folks or anyone who lives in a stadium city, football season is a perfect time to consider listing your space on Airbnb.
25:03Especially if you have travel plans yourself, why let your home sit idle while you're away?
25:08You can help meet the demand when a big game or concert comes to your town and give travelers that home away
25:15from home they need to really experience their trip to the fullest.
25:19It is such a practical way to earn extra money that can go right toward funding the next road trip or covering upcoming household bills.
25:27Your home might be worth more than you think.
25:30Find out how much at airbnb.com slash host. One question for each game.
25:34Eight games to get to today. Dallas at Houston.
25:37Heath, are you concerned about the Cowboys offense in this matchup?
25:40Not really. Why not? I just think the Cowboys are one of the, and they aren't, they don't always perform to this
25:47level, but I just think the Cowboys are one of those offenses that you don't sit them because of matchups.
25:53So that's pretty much that simple. Like I'm not starting Jake Ferguson and I guess Dak's a little lower than normal.
26:00He's my QB 10, but that's, I think that's the only guy you might be able to get away from just with the depth of the position.
26:08Dak Prescott in tough matchups. I had him in eight tough matchups last year.
26:13He was good to great in four of them.
26:16He was bad to terrible in four of them.
26:19And against like the truly elite defenses, he was, there were like six of them and he had a tough schedule last
26:25year and he was good in three and bad in three, but usually better at home.
26:31All right. Kansas City at Las Vegas. Jamie, do you believe in the Raiders offense in this game?
26:36Um, I believe in the two must start guys.
26:39I would prefer to avoid Trey Tucker just because of the one game sample size we have with Bowers back and the
26:46pretty good secondary that we've seen from the chiefs.
26:49And I'm not ready to start Kirk cousins in one quarterback leagues yet.
26:53So they could be playing the 85 bears and I'm probably most likely starting Brock Bowers and Ashton Gentian, the way that
27:00the state of fantasy football is right now. Yeah.
27:03The 85 bears were, um, they were only like middle of the pack against tight ends.
27:08You have no idea how good that defense is.
27:11No, that was, that's the, that's the first football game I remember watching.
27:15Which by the Superbowl, the 85 bears winning the Superbowl.
27:18My, uh, my great grandmother had her 95th birthday party and my grandpa snuck me out of it early to go watch the Superbowl.
27:25That's awesome. The first Monday night game I remember watching was Dolphins bears when the dolphins beat them.
27:31Oh, cool. Um, all right. Indianapolis is at Washington.
27:34One of the greatest, you know, as I got older and went back and watched it several times, one of the greatest
27:41game plans a coaching staff ever had was just Nat more, Nat more, Nat more, Nat more.
27:46Okay. More and more. Give me, give me more.
27:49Indianapolis is at Washington. Jamie, since you like Terry McLaurin, I'll give us one to you.
27:54Rank the top four wide receivers in this game.
27:57I think I have downs ahead of McLaurin. So downs, McLaurin, Diggs, Allen.
28:01And Allen is what for you? 31. Okay. So they're all worth starting in three.
28:06Yeah. This should be a good game. It should be a fun game.
28:10Jacksonville's at Cincinnati. Heath, Jacoby Myers has two, one and eight targets in three games.
28:15Can we trust him? Nope. All right. We didn't really get a lot of targets for Parker Washington last week.
28:21So maybe that had something to do with it.
28:24So all four, would you start all four of the Colts slash commanders receivers over Jacoby Myers?
28:29I would. Okay. Jamie, the jets are at Chicago starter sit Kenyan Sadiq.
28:33I would start him. He's 12th for me, but you know, a few things to keep in mind here.
28:39One, I think you got to look at the injuries because right now, Mason Taylor and Adonai Mitchell both mispractice on, uh, on Wednesday.
28:47And I saw one jets, uh, beat writer suggest the, there was like five guys listed at the top, Brees Hall and,
28:54and Mitchell and Brees Hall, Mitchell and Taylor were among the top five.
28:58And he said in his post on X, the top five, not expected to play.
29:03So if Mitchell and, and Taylor are out, that was a part of Sadiq success last week.
29:08The other part was facing the lions, which is just, you know, the free space, at least through the first three weeks of the season.
29:16Um, I'm just, I'm, I'm hopeful with Sadiq, you know, I'm hopeful that we just unlocked something that could be awesome rest of the season.
29:24Uh, yep. Me too. Chargers are at the Seahawks.
29:26Heath, is there only one player to start in this game?
29:30I think there's only one player. I want to start in this game.
29:34I recognize I said, Oh, sit Omarion Hampton earlier in the show, but a lot of people aren't going to have an option to sit him.
29:42So you may have to start over on Hampton.
29:45And then I'm actually streaming Sam Darnold for, on a couple of my Jaden Daniels teams, assuming that Jaden Daniels doesn't play.
29:52Um, and I think like he, that may become a more common thing if they continue to not really run the ball
29:59because their pass rate is much higher than it was last year.
30:03So Sam Darnold, okay. Streamer. You know what? I'm going to do it right now.
30:07I am going to sit Omarion Hampton for Kalief Raymond.
30:11Yes. That's perfect. I mean, I wouldn't do it, but I like this.
30:15I love this for you. I'm sitting in for Jalen Warren.
30:18I know you'd do that. Oh yes. Um, new England's at Buffalo.
30:22Jamie does Dalton Kincaid bounce back. Uh, yes. I, I think there's enough of reason to buy into him based on what
30:29we saw, not just in the Detroit game, but also in week one.
30:33So I think it's going to be a little bit of a tough game for DJ Moore.
30:38And so this is a little pivot to who's the second best pass catcher for, for Buffalo.
30:44So it's, it's a cautiously optimistic ranking. You know, when you get to, for me, it was past Laporte, I think.
30:50Um, I could see Waller being in the top five.
30:54I could see Sadiq being in the top five.
30:56I could see Schultz being in the top five.
30:59Like there's a lot of different ways this position could go.
31:03So I'm banking on Kincaid still participation and what he's done, but I, I just hope it's not, you know, we're, we're
31:10going to see the, uh, the lions bump. Um, you know, and then I hope we're just not chasing that spot every week.
31:17So this is one, I'm sorry, Adam, cause I know we're supposed to just one of us, but like I've fudged my
31:24ranking a little bit based on the projections here.
31:27Cause he's not in my top 12 based on the projections.
31:30And I just like the fact that it's not so much the bad week last week.
31:35It's just that this Patriots defense was awesome against tight ends last year.
31:39Right. And so far this year they're giving up and they haven't faced good tight ends, but just almost nothing to the position.
31:46And so I think it's still a pretty good defense.
31:50Yeah. He's a low end starter, but I don't love it.
31:53Okay. And, uh, low one of the games, one of the great games were Kincaid.
31:58You had zero targets from, from DJ more. Also when DJ more has been on the field, he's getting a massive target share.
32:05Uh, but, uh, Kincaid off to such a good, so he's still playing a lot, right?
32:10So the first two games were just so good.
32:13It's hard to ignore. You can't just turn on a guy.
32:16Also credit to Derwin James. I thought like, right.
32:19That, that was going to say that he's, he's pretty good.
32:23He didn't, he didn't follow or shadow Kincaid, but he was definitely on Kincaid a decent amount.
32:28And he's a terrific, uh, he's terrific. I think he's probably extra motivated to recover his, uh, reputation after what Trey McBride did to him in week one.
32:37Oh, um, he was on Trey McBride for, for a lot of his monster game.
32:42Okay. I didn't see that Baltimore at Tennessee. Heath, why bother?
32:45Why bother? Um, no, I think, um, I have a real question.
32:49Tony Pollard. I think he had 21 touches last week.
32:52Uh, any interest in starting him? Like, would you start Tony Pollard over Amari and Hampton?
32:57I currently have Tony Pollard one spot ahead of Amari and Hampton.
33:01Okay. So a low endorse. I think I'm the only person that would say that.
33:06So, but yes, I don't know if I, I couldn't figure, I tried to figure out why Tony Pollard got more touches.
33:13Spears came into the game, banged up. Spears left briefly with an injury against the giants.
33:18But if you look at their snap shares, it's almost identical every week.
33:22It's like 53% powered 47% Spears. I just, maybe it was just like a down and distance thing that got him more opportunities, but 17 carries four catches.
33:31I think that was awesome. I just don't know that we can count on it.
33:35If, if you just forget about the names on the jerseys, this doesn't actually, like, it kind of looks like a running back.
33:43That's been pretty efficient against a defense that in two games, hasn't been very good against the run.
33:48Yeah. So were they good last week? Um, well, they gave up four points.
33:53Oh no, they got 5.2 yards per carry. So, I mean, I guess some, I get the matchups.
33:58No, I was going to say that was the only, they've only been good against new Orleans.
34:04That's the only game they had Matt a bouquet, but it didn't help.
34:08I think the, the, the one thing for Pollard that I would love to see again is the receptions.
34:14Cause if you tell me he's going to be involved in the passing game, then I'm in because he's been running very well.
34:21And so it's just a matter of their team sucks.
34:24They're not going to get a lot of scoring opportunities.
34:27This game could get loudsided quickly just because of the Derek Henry narrative and how bad the Titans offense has looked aside from facing the giants so far.
34:36And that's the game where Pollard also did well.
34:39Um, I just don't think you can count on the role in the passing game.
34:44If Spears is healthy, if Spears is out, then I think you should be more excited about it.
34:49Okay. And would you start Tony Pollard over a dolphins running back?
34:53Oh yeah. Yes. Would you start him over Braylon Allen?
34:56No, no. Okay. Well, you've more or less previewed that game, but I'll give you something on Mark Andrews.
35:02Interesting note on Mark Andrews in, Oh, about a two and a half hours.
35:07When we get to that game, let's go to Dallas at Houston.
35:11So Houston coming off a bad loss. They scored 17 points at the Colts.
35:15They only ran 51 plays. Hopefully they get Nico Collins back.
35:18here's a stat again. I don't really know what to do, but I think it's, it's an important stat to mention.
35:25The Texans are number one against running backs. Sometimes that's because of matchups, but they have faced James cook, chase Brown and Jonathan Taylor.
35:33And they have held all of them to, uh, I think like less than 12 fantasy points.
35:38It's pretty unbelievable. Is there any way Jamie to get away from Javante?
35:42Do you want to get away from Javante? You think he's going to be good this week?
35:47What do you think about him in this matchup?
35:50He's a better version of a Martin Hampton. You know, you can't really afford to sit players like this.
35:56Javante's obviously had a much better season so far, so it's easier to make the argument for him.
36:02So I think when you just look at the Texans and how they've performed defensively is, is Alshahir playing?
36:08I don't know. I don't think so as of right now.
36:11Yeah. So that's, that's part of it also. Um, it wouldn't surprise me if Javante has a bad game.
36:17You know, this isn't one of those where I'm looking at and saying, Oh, he's going to be fantastic.
36:23I kind of felt the same way last week too, just because of Mattabuke being back for the Ravens.
36:29And he did awesome there. So, um, this feels like a throw to score run to win game for the Cowboys.
36:36I don't think they're going in with the idea of, Hey, let's lean on Javante to win this game.
36:42You've seen teams have success throwing on Houston and I'm sure Dallas is going to try and continue that.
36:48So I think Javante is like not a DFS play unless you just want to be contrarian.
36:53Hopefully falls in the end zone. It's not going to be a good rushing average.
36:58He says defense is too good against her. So I do think there is a way to get away from him.
37:05If you were third running back is Jalen Warren or Aaron Jones or Chuba or, or you could start Chuba over him.
37:12Yeah. I think all three of those guys are in better spots.
37:15And I would, now I'm the proud manager of, of Kalief Raymond in like four leagues.
37:20I would start Kalief Raymond over Amari and Hampton and PPR.
37:24I would not start him over Javante Williams. I'm not going to, it's funny you say that.
37:29Um, I don't know, uh, what this is in reference to, but one of our former colleagues in a text chain that
37:36I'm in said, damn, is there likes Kalief too?
37:39I'm screwed. I don't know if that's like you're a jinx or cause I don't think you're in any leagues with this person.
37:46I don't know. But I, if I were, uh, even I'm going to infiltrate his league and put it a higher bid
37:53for, well, he, he happened to, uh, it's Andrew Ballmer, one of our former producers.
37:58He, he texted me earlier in the week, earlier in the week and said, uh, why Keenan Allen over Kalief Raymond?
38:05And I said, well, they're both kind of in good spots right now.
38:09With, with Pierce being out and I like the matchup for, uh, for Keenan Allen slightly better, but you know, it's a, I'm sure that's kind of continuing.
38:18Yeah. Yeah. So, um, the, the coverage for the jets is really interesting, but we'll get to that game in a bit.
38:24Also, you mentioned Aziz Alshire. He's their, their best linebacker.
38:28He's their play caller for the Texans. He's got a groin injury.
38:31Henry Toto, Toto, Henry Toto, Toto. He is not also not going to play.
38:36Well, he's not going to play in this game.
38:39We don't know about Alshire yet. And, all right.
38:41Dak Prescott, eighth for Jamie, 10th for Heath. Dave had him fifth last time I checked, but again, like to sum it
38:48up, mixed results in these tough matchups, usually better at home last year.
38:53You're not sitting CD lamb. No way. And it's basically a home game for them.
38:57I mean, maybe, um, George Pickens is top 13 for everyone.
39:01So you just, but Jake Ferguson is a guy that you probably want to, is Kenyon Sadiq over Ferguson?
39:07Yep. Oh, yes. Dalton Schultz over for, although in non PBR, you can make the case.
39:12Ferguson's still a must start tight end because he'll catch touchdowns.
39:15Maybe. Oh, Jake Ferguson has three touchdowns of 10 or more yards this year.
39:20He had four in his entire career going into 2026.
39:23So that's pretty quick. Cause he doesn't, it's not like he's scoring like one yard touchdowns.
39:28He doesn't have an end zone target yet. Um, oh no, he does.
39:32I'm sorry. Uh, it's Mark Andrews. Doesn't have an end zone target yet.
39:36Uh, anyway, Dalton Schultz or Jake Ferguson? Schultz. Schultz.
39:39Dalton Schultz or Sadiq? Sadiq for me, unless Nico's out.
39:42Schultz for me. Dalton Schultz or Dalton Kincaid? Kincaid.
39:45Schultz for me. Do you like, would you consider CJ Stroud if Nico plays?
39:49Yeah. He's in that streaming conversation low end, but yes.
39:52Okay. Yeah. They can't run the ball. So, you know, he's referenced that they're, they're talking about giving Woody marks more chances
39:59because he's more explosive than David Montgomery at this point.
40:03Like the Montgomery signing so far has not worked out.
40:06I know you got the three touchdowns in week one, but that's on a 3.0 yards per carry, uh, situation.
40:12Like he just has not been helping them. No, he really hasn't.
40:16I don't know that Woody marks has been so good.
40:19I mean, he had five carries for 15. I had a couple of goal line, one goal line carry.
40:25Um, but yeah, I mean, so Heath, you said, Woody, Mark, you said David Montgomery over Hampton.
40:30One spot, you know, that's one that I'm probably going to go back and forth on until Sunday morning.
40:36Cause I don't want to be as high as I am on David Montgomery.
40:41I, I just, I, I hate the matchup for, um, Hampton so much that probably, yeah.
40:46Jamie, let me ask you, let's say you have a guy like a Mecca Buka you're nervous about, or, um, lad McConkey.
40:53You're nervous about, would you start a Texans running back over them?
40:56No, if only a non PPR, if Nico Collins is out, would anyone want to go back to Xavier Hutchinson?
41:03Nope. He's in that Malik Washington. Uh, I'm trying to think who else.
41:07Um, that might be decent, you know, 10 PPR points type guy.
41:11Okay. He only hit 51 yards last game, but CJ Stroud threw for 167 yards.
41:15This is the, this is the reason why I'm a little concerned is like they had the layup game last week.
41:22Right. And they didn't take advantage of it. And this defense is really beat up right now.
41:27You know, this is a huge game. I saw somebody in the chat post.
41:32I'm, I didn't mean to disrespect Houston that Dallas is going to flood their stadium with fans.
41:37I was just making a reference that it's in the same state.
41:41Um, but you're a jerk. I know. Um, I, I could see a bounce back game here because of Dallas's defense.
41:48You know, like they, they have not played well to what the expectations were with the guys that they added.
41:54And then now they're so beat up that they may not be playing some starters.
41:59I don't know the entirety of their injury reports.
42:01I apologize, but I think it's going to be a situation where CJ Stroud could fall into production.
42:07Like I dropped CJ Stroud in a couple of leagues where I don't need to start him this week.
42:13I picked him up as just to see what was going to happen with some bad quarterback situations.
42:19And I was disappointed that he struggled against the Colts.
42:22Uh, but I can easily see him playing well in this game and being one of the, Oh, we should have started
42:29him or, Oh, we should have ranked him higher because it is Dallas.
42:33And he's had a couple of really strong performances so far this year.
42:37All right, here we go. I just want to say like Jamie did say 10.
42:42He's in that Hutchinson's in that 10 PPR fantasy points range.
42:45That would be a season high. Yeah. But you know, he had an almost touchdown.
42:50Oh yeah. He didn't. I didn't realize that. I was like, they Williams or Braylon Allen questions from the chat.
42:56Javante or Braylon. Javante. Yeah. Likely or Schultz half PPR.
42:59Schultz for me. Likely for Jamie Schultz for Heath.
43:02Uh, do you worry about Montgomery? Yeah, we worry about Montgomery for many reasons.
43:07Uh, Darnold or Stroud. Darnold right now. I have Stroud one spot higher.
43:11Schultz or Loveland. Schultz. Schultz. And. Pick a tight end.
43:14Jake Ferguson, Harold Fannin, Isaiah likely, Jawan Johnson. Jawan for me.
43:17I would go likely. And Schultz or Kraft? Schultz.
43:20Kraft. All right. We're going to take, uh, one last break and come back with the rest of our games.
43:27Kansas city at Las Vegas, AFC West showdown. Wait, are the chiefs three, you know, or two and one.
43:33Yep. Ooh, it's a couple of three and O's here.
43:36Yeah. About that. All right. We'll be right back to talk about the chiefs and the Raiders and more.
43:42Sometimes I'm so busy. I feel like I don't have time for healthy meals and I eat a lot of food.
43:48I know I'm not alone, but guess what? There's a solution for us.

44:48where I realized just trusting a pretty label wasn't enough.
44:51I needed actual verification. That's why I made the switch to momentous signature spec creatine.
44:56Instead of chasing flavor trends, momentous set a brand new benchmark by producing their creatine in a pharmaceutical facility with reverse osmosis water purification.
45:04It undergoes a rigorous six stage testing process with four independent agencies, guaranteeing 10 times fewer impurities, tighter, heavy metal limits and tests for microplastics and PFAs.

45:38Welcome back. Kansas city's at Las Vegas. By the way, Heath, you should know my son is playing flag football and he's on the chiefs.
45:46Oh, great for him. Yep. We're big, big chiefs fans in this family.
45:50Is he, is he, is he becoming a chiefs fan?
45:53Uh, not yet, but that's not yet. I hope this, this, this year could be the year that does it.
45:59Yeah, maybe here we go. All right. Stat of the game just for fun.
46:04Not really. It's fantasy takeaway in week three, Travis Kelsey caught Patrick Mahomes, his first pass of the game and his last pass of the game.
46:12They went for 59 yards and a touchdown. He had no other targets.
46:16Uh, Jamie, any concern with that? I mean, with Rasheed rice getting his role back and this team being, well, for at
46:23least a week, at least, this team being run heavy, any concerns about Kelsey?
46:27No, I think as long as he's got Mahomes, you go back to last year and what their production was.
46:34This is what tight end is. You're going to have some games where their guys get uber targeted.
46:39You're going to have some games where you're just counting on a touchdown when he's at this level of production.
46:46However, it's getting done. I'm not sitting him. So I'm not looking to acquire a second tight end unless I'm playing that
46:52tight end as a flex alongside Kelsey. So, you know, unless there was, uh, somebody like Juwan Johnson, you can make a
46:59case for maybe Dalton Schultz, you can make a case for just because of their targets being what they are and production being what it is.
47:08I just think Kelsey, if you drafted him, you should be really excited because you got him at such a great value.
47:15And he's been so good. I think, I think you made an excellent point, um, during the off season, Adam, that's really proven true through three weeks.
47:23And so when we were having the Ken Walker discussion and talking about what impact that would have on everybody else, like
47:30Ken Walker has been better than even his biggest proponent could have thought that he would be.
47:35But you said, you know what? Like they might get fewer targets, but the offense is going to be good now.
47:42So it won't hurt them. And that's exactly what's happened.
47:45Yeah, to a degree, but I am a little discouraged from a passing standpoint.
47:50And I think it, I think it'll work itself out, but Patrick Mahomes has two games with like very few pass attempts.
47:56I don't know off the top of my head, but let's see, um, 27, 47 and 24.
48:02And, you know, the two games were like 14 point wins or more against Denver and Miami, but I, I wish there were more.
48:09I thought you basically can't stop Andy Reed from passing the ball a lot.
48:14It's just, it has never happened in the Mahomes era.
48:17And I don't, I think we'll get more pass attempts as the season goes on.
48:22You know, it's just a little fluky, but you know, targets, if she rice is going to command that kind of target
48:29chair, which he won't, but, um, not every game, but, uh, all right.
48:33Yeah. You're right though. They're scoring, they're scoring more points and it's great to see him.
48:38Mahomes is in the zone right now. He was 20 of 24 last week.
48:42So I know it was a disappointing fantasy game against the dolphins, but 20 for 24.
48:47So he's 20 for 24. Purdy was what? 20 for 22.
48:51Yeah, I think so. I guess Miami. Have they trailed yet?
48:54Who the chiefs? Yeah. I have no idea. They were ahead against Denver.
48:58I don't remember a week till they were ahead against Miami.
49:02They might've been tied at one point against Miami.
49:05I think they trailed against the Colts, but I'm not sure.
49:08I mean, the Colts game was overtime. So I would guess at some point.
49:12Yeah. They were behind. Uh, they were behind at halftime, 20 to 17.
49:17Well, we love Mahomes this week. He's top seven for everybody.
49:20He's just playing so well. Um, Heath, why isn't Rasheed Rice higher?
49:24You have a 22nd, Jamie, 19th, Dave, 23rd. I think because what you said, when you said, Rishi Rice got his rollback,
49:31it was one game that he got his rollback.
49:34And so if that happens for a second week, then you probably see Kelsey downgraded a little bit more in our rankings
49:41and rice back up closer to a top 12 wide receiver.
49:44But it's, you don't want to say he's entirely got his rollback because of one game.
49:49Fair. Yep. I agree. I do think though, you just roll, no roll.
49:53What, you know, however we want to, uh, define rice at this point, it's back-to-back games with 12 plus PPR points.
50:00And that's without scoring in week two, you know?
50:03So like he's going to start to score touchdowns here and that's going to be really exciting when he starts to, whether
50:10it's, you know, uber targeted or not uber targeted, you know, like he's, he's just starting to look at rounding into shape.
50:16Yeah. You know, that was probably a part of it too, you know, okay.
50:21For the Raiders side of the ball, we've got cousins as a sit.
50:25He's 20th right now. He's playing great. This is a real test.
50:29I mean, the chiefs, they face Bo Nix, Daniel Jones, Malik Willis.
50:33They haven't given up more than 13.4 fantasy. They're number one against quarterbacks right now, but we'll see if, uh, what cousins,
50:39they haven't played anybody as good as Kirk cousins.
50:42It's crazy. Um, and then gente, like he's, he's a little low.
50:46Jamie's got him 17th, Dave 18th, uh, Heath 12th.
50:49Tough run defense here. Heath, you know, I guess you love Braylon Allen, but not enough to start him over.
50:55Gentie. No, no. I think Gentie will probably still have enough work in the passing game to where he'll, he'll be a
51:02high end RB two or low end RB one.
51:05Listen, this is, this isn't, we got to take these Raiders seriously.
51:09It's an undefeated Raiders team. They have a great pass rush.
51:12Four and a half point spread. They're at home.
51:15Yeah. They have a big pass rush. They, they signed to Kobe Dean at linebacker in the off season.
51:21He's playing really well for them. So their defense has actually been good too, but, um, Gentie, I can't really get away from him.
51:29Trey Tucker is a sit lab McConkie or Trey Tucker, Jamie.
51:32Uh, McConkie. I don't like Trey Tucker this week.
51:35I'm, I'm a little concerned. Chiefs are usually pretty good at taking away the big play, right?
51:40And so far, so far, fourth fewest big plays allowed in the passing game.
51:45I've been the Trey Tucker guy and he's not in my top 48.
51:49So like, I don't, I don't like him at all.
51:52Okay. For a career, like projecting the rest of his career, Brock Bowers or Travis Kelsey.
51:57Wow. Will Bowers have as good of career as Travis Kelsey?
52:01Yeah. I don't think you should do that to anybody in year three.
52:05That's like, it's okay. Um, let me read some questions here.
52:08Well, let's see the, the Mount Rushmore of tight ends all time.
52:12Is Kelsey, Gronk, Gonzalez. I think Kittle's the best tight end of his generation.
52:16Kittle's in that conversation. Sure. Um, I think you got to put, I know people think I'm crazy.
52:22Antonio Gates. Gates is in the conversation. Ozzie Newsom's in the conversation.
52:26Uh, Kellen Winslow senior. Yeah. Is in the conversation.
52:29Did you say, you said Gonzalez, right? Yeah. I think three are locks.
52:33I think it's, it's Gronk, Kelsey and, and Gonzalez.
52:36Actually, I think Gronk is the best tight end of his generation.
52:39But this is crazy for me not to say Kelsey.
52:42Right. So you told me, it's okay. No, it's just the blocking, the blocking.
52:47Like Kittle is an amazing blocker. Gronk, great blocker.
52:50I'll say right now, Ozzie Newsom is the fourth.
52:53And I think Bowers can knock him off of it.
52:56Who's the top three for you? Top three for me.
52:59And I'll say in order would be Kelsey Gronk, Tony Gonzalez.
53:02Yeah. That's really tough. Um, all right, here's some questions for this game.
53:06Rice or golden. Uh, I go golden. Yeah, I would too.
53:10Rice or Coker. If he plays, I go righteous.
53:13I don't think Coker's a hundred percent, but matchup.
53:16Right. Great. Kelsey or likely. Kelsey. I have likely one spot higher.
53:19Gente or Gervonta. I think I might have Javante ranked higher right now, but I'm going to switch that and go.
53:26Gente. Gente. Trey Tucker, Darren Waller or Colson Loveland.
53:29Pick two. Sorry. Waller's the easy one. Um, that is, I probably would go Waller and Tucker.
53:34Yeah, me too. Trey Tucker, Tony Pollard. So frustrating.
53:37Trey Tucker, Tony Pollard, or Ramondre Stevenson. Pollard. Uh, I'd go Stevenson.
53:41And we like Kelsey over Pitt. Unless, unless Spears is out.
53:44If Spears is out, that changes. What an awful question says Munzo.
53:48Emmitt Johnson or Isaiah Davis. I'd play Davis. Yeah.
53:51Mahomes or golf? Mahomes or Lawrence? Uh, golf and Lawrence.
53:54I have it. Golf and my homes. These are very highly ranked quarterbacks here.
53:58We like these guys. So trade one of these guys.
54:02Like you probably get something for him. Rasheed Rice or Malik Neighbors, non-PPR?
54:06Oh, Rice. Rice. Mike Washington or Ramondre Stevenson? Stevenson.
54:09Yeah. Chiefs DST or Bears DST? Chiefs. Chiefs. Uh, yeah, the Chiefs DST, 13th for Jamie, 5th for Dave, 17th for Heath.
54:15Raiders have not been a good matchup so far against, uh, Miami Chargers and the Saints.
54:21But the Chiefs have been pretty good two, two of the three games.
54:25All right, Colts are at Washington. Stat of the game, number one, every quarterback to face Washington has scored 30.7 or more
54:32fantasy points and they've done it without a rushing touchdown.
54:35Daniel Jones has not scored more than 13.4 fantasy points yet.
54:38He's had a pretty tough schedule. Baltimore at Kansas City and Houston.
54:42Heath, can we get 20 points from Daniel Jones?
54:45And would you start Daniel Jones or Kirk Cousins?
54:48Uh, I think it's possible that Daniel Jones could score 20 points.
54:51I've got him projected for, I think, a season high, 15.8.
54:55I would rather start Kirk Cousins. Jamie, same question.
54:58You, Daniel Jones or Cousins? I'd rather start Cousins also, but it wouldn't surprise me if Jones is better just because Washington
55:05has been so bad against the, uh, against opposing quarterbacks.
55:08That said, their run defense has been awesome and I know they're going to shut down Jonathan Taylor because you know that
55:15the Colts are going to just run Taylor as much as they can.
55:19Heath, Josh Downs has a target share of at least 30% in two straight games.
55:24Is he just a no-brainer? I, I think it's hard to call him a no-brainer because of the way that Daniel Jones has been playing.
55:31He's, he's a low-end wide receiver too. Uh, I think I have him maybe just behind Rice, um, just ahead of the Washington wide receivers.
55:39Okay. He's a no-brainer for me in PBR. Yeah.
55:42And Alex Pierce goes down, targets just spike. Stat of the game.
55:46Yeah, that was a hundred percent. Uh, stat of the game.
55:49Number three, among 30 tight ends with 10 or more targets, Tyler Warren ranks 30th, dead last in yards per target and yards per catch.
55:57I don't know if that matters to anybody. He had, uh, the Washington gives up the second most fantasy points to tight ends.
56:05So we've talked about Kelsey. Um, who else? Uh, Kincaid, Schultz, guys like that.
56:09Jamie, where does Tyler Warren rank for you at tight end this week?
56:13Head of all. Okay. Heath. He is ahead of all of them except for Schultz for me.
56:18Okay. So we're going with Isaiah likely Daniel Jones.
56:21Jamie's got him 18th, Dave 19th. He's unranked at nine in the top 24.
56:26Start Jonathan Taylor. Start Josh Downs. Keenan Allen. All right, Jamie, how much do you like Keenan Allen this week?
56:32right around 30th. So, you know, starter and three receiver leagues, you know, if you need him as a starter and two
56:39receiver leagues because you're stuck, you know, we don't know Jefferson's going to play yet.
56:44We don't know Mike Evans is going to play yet.
56:47This is a guy that was available on waiver.
56:50So again, very similar situation, you know, has five targets in the first game that Pierce leaves against the chiefs, does not
56:57have a great game bounces back last week in a tougher matchup against Houston.
57:01And so I think you just kind of see what this offense is if they have to throw.
57:07There's three guys that are going to get opportunities.
57:10I hope he's going to be third because I think you look at Downs and certainly Warren, they feel like more must-start options.
57:17But we know Keenan Allen when he's had opportunities the last couple of seasons, no matter where he's been, he's been productive.
57:24So I don't, I don't think you should overlook what he did last week and think it was a one game situation.
57:31There's chances to beat the secondary and he's going to get his, he's going to get his chances to make plays.
57:37I'm just a little lower just because like the last two years we've seen his efficiency really fall off of a cliff, 6.1 and 6.4 yards per target.
57:46This season he's averaging five yards per target. And so he really needs a touchdown or double digit targets to be someone
57:53I'd want to start in a three receiver league.
57:56Yeah, this is Keenan Allen we're talking about here.
57:59Keenan Allen or Trey Tucker? Allen. Allen. All right.
58:02And we said start Tyler Warren. Marcus Mariota is a top 15 quarterback.
58:06Really excited, but he may not play. But if Jaden Daniels plays, where do you think you'd rank him, Jamie?
58:12Daniels would probably be in the 10 to 15 range.
58:15similar to guys like Shorten Love and Stafford. Stafford and Hurts.
58:19Hurts and Hurts. They've got a tough matchup against each other's teams.
58:22I don't know if it's a tough matchup for Stafford.
58:26Yeah, Fuga's back. I'm not sure if the matchup matters.
58:29Yeah, I mean, Case Keenan just played well against them.
58:32He just tore apart Denver. Like, okay. So, would you start Stafford or Mariota and Stafford or Daniels?
58:38I'd start Stafford over both. I just think you've got to worry about Daniels.
58:42we saw it last year. You know, the risk of injury, again, is always going to be there for him.
58:48So, matchup is fantastic. I have a league with Daniels and I picked up Jacoby Brissett.
58:53I probably would start Daniels if he plays in that situation.
58:57But, like, I'm going to be nervous every time I start him.
59:01I would also say, be careful, and I was in this situation, if, like, you have Daniels and your backup was Deshaun
59:07Watson or Aaron Rodgers, or if you have picked up Mariota and you've also got one of those guys, like, just be
59:14careful counting on either of the Commander's quarterbacks to start with, or go drop one of the Thursday guys and add somebody
59:21else so that you've got a backup plan. And this game is 9.30 a.m.
59:26Eastern in London. So, first international, well, first, you know, Sunday morning international game.
59:30And that means our Sunday morning show changes. What do we got?
59:348.30 to 9.30, I think, and then noon to 1.
59:37It's been a year since we've done this, so I forgot, but I think that's what we did last year.
59:43We do 8.30 to 9.30 and then noon to 1.
59:47I'll let you know if we are keeping that schedule, but join us Sunday morning for your starter sit questions.
59:53YouTube.com slash fantasy football today. As far as the receivers go, top of the, we talked about this at the top of
60:00the show, so I'm not going to go over it again.
60:03Jamie loves Terry McLaurin. Heath ranked all of the wide receivers during the one question for each game that you can start,
60:10you know, as you can start the wide receivers in this game.
60:14Heath just told you he's a little bit lower on Keenan Allen.
60:18I ranked all the guys. Oh, you did. I'm sorry.
60:21Well, Heath would rank them down the same way.
60:24The same way Jamie did. Well, except for digs and McLaurin.
60:27Yeah, digs and McLaurin. You have back to back digs one spot ahead.
60:31Downs digs, McLaurin, Allen for Jamie. It's downs, McLaurin, digs, Allen.
60:35And we're, what? Okay. Last question here. Heath, Washington running backs.
60:38Any interest? I'd rather not. Well, you know where I'm going.
60:42Amari and Hampton or commander. Amari and Hampton. Braylon Allen, Tony Pollard.
60:46Overall of them. I think this could be actually a decent game for Bill.
60:50This Colts run defense. I know it's partially who they played when you talk about Derrick Henry and Kenneth Walker.
60:56And last week they played the complete opposite of that in David Montgomery.
61:00The thing about Bill is twofold. One, he's been getting carries.
61:04You know, so he's got 13 plus carries in every game so far this season.
61:09It would not shock me if they're playing with a lead because the Colts defense has been as bad as it is.
61:15And then the flip side of that is they added another running back that they have a history with in Austin Eckler.
61:22What does that mean for him, for Rashad White, or both?
61:26Or all three, excuse me. You know, does Eckler even play this week?
61:30I don't know how they're going to approach it.
61:33But I think Kroski Merritt's got a chance here.
61:36I only have him ranked as a flex. I would only use him as a flex.
61:41I don't think he's a must-start running back. But I would not be surprised if this is a game where he gets
61:48you 15 for 58 in a touchdown. Yeah. Okay.
61:51He's got a score. That's the thing with him.
61:53We know he's not going to catch the ball.
61:56And Rashad White is just a little bit too risky with his workload.
62:00Not a lot of work there. He's also banged up, so keep an eye on it.
62:05Got a shoulder injury. All right. Jacksonville is... Oh, let me...
62:09Sorry. Real quick. Some chat questions here for this game.
62:12Keenan Allen. Diggs or Keenan Allen? Diggs. Diggs. Diggs, but both if you need them.
62:17Ja'Kory Kroski Merritt, Alvin Kamara, Keaton Mitchell, or Jalen Wright?
62:20I'd go Kroski Merritt. Bill. Downs, Michael Wilson, Neighbors, McConkie, pick two.
62:24I can't believe I'm saying this, but Michael Wilson and Downs.
62:27Yeah. Yep. Downs or McLaurin, it's Downs. Keenan Allen or Woody Marks, full PPR?
62:31Ooh. I'd go Keenan Allen. Yeah. I wish they used Marks like they did in week two.
62:37When he had five catches, like that's where he's going to win and he's going to give you easy opportunities and easy puts.
62:44I never understand why these teams don't try and just do that three to four times a game.
62:50And that may be what they mean when they say we're going to give Woody Marks more work is that they're just
62:57going to run the ball less and have a few designed running back targets instead.
63:01Devontae Smith or Terry McLaurin? Smith. Oh, Devontae Smith.
63:04He's a top six wide receiver. I guess the Rams.
63:07Okay, Tyler Warren or Darren Waller? Still Tyler Warren.
63:10I can't find a reason I wish I could find a reason to get Darren Waller higher.
63:16Omari and Hampton or Omaha Steaks? Yes, always Omaha Steaks as we know.
63:20Every night, baby. All right, Jacksonville's at Cincinnati. The Jaguars offense is 30th in pace because you got to look at Basial Tootin.
63:27He hasn't had more than 15 carries or two catches in a game yet.
63:31And it's a little frustrating. He's basically a lead running back and he's like, 17 touches is good, but for him to
63:38be like a true must start, maybe he needs to be more like 20 touches.
63:43I don't know. Maybe we'll get that but they're 30th in pace and they're 27th in plays.
63:48Last year, they were 30th in pace and they were 4th in plays.
63:53So, they just got to hopefully start running more plays.
63:56And Trevor Lawrence hasn't reached 30 pass attempts yet.
63:59So, this just isn't a team that's had a lot of opportunities and yet, very good offense.
64:04Heath, just lay out the landscape for this game.
64:07I'm sure we have a lot of starts. Do we have any tough calls?
64:11Jacksonville at Cincinnati where the total is 51 and a half.
64:15So, I would say start your Bengals though. Joe, no, just start your Bengals period.
64:19Start Parker Washington. Tootin is a low end RB2.
64:22I think I have him one spot ahead of Braylon Allen.
64:26And, I'm the low guy. Start Parker Washington, obviously.
64:28Start Parker Washington. And, Trevor Lawrence is a borderline QB1 for me.
64:32I think I'm a low guy on him though.
64:35Lawrence might be a tough call just based on the position.
64:39We did this one earlier, but Lawrence or Dak?
64:41It's Dak for me. Lawrence for me. Jamie's got him fourth.
64:45Heath has him 13th and Dave's in the middle.
64:48Yeah, so, there you go. And, other stat of the game for this is no running back has 40 rushing yards or
64:5560 total yards against the Jaguars so far. That would be Quinshawn Judkins, Jonah Coleman, and the Patriots running backs.
65:01So, take it with a grain of salt. But, do you have any hesitation starting Chase Brown, Jamie?
65:07No, I would start Jalen Morin over him and Chuba Hubbard over him, but, like, that's a very specific situation.
65:13Do you, okay, how do you feel about Bejal Tootin versus Braylon Allen?
65:17I agree with Heath. I would start Tootin. Look, you nailed it.
65:21He's, it feels like it's been a little lucky with what Tootin has given you because of the lack of work in the passing game.
65:29Like, you got the direct snap against Denver, so he gives you the goal line touchdown in week two.
65:35You got the Trevor Lawrence kneel down at the goal line against the Patriots, but he has run well in those two games.
65:42And, I think I said this going into the game last week, you know, Pete Prisco saying that they just need to give him more work.
65:50And, you're starting to see it pick up a little bit.
65:54You know, again, not to the level that we would like to see, but I think this is kind of, like, he
66:01feels to me like almost like Javante Williams of just good offense and he's the lead running back.
66:06And so, you're not going to get a lot of passing attempts, which sucks, but you are going to get a lot of touchdown potential.
66:14I just wish that there wasn't the looming threat of Chris Rodriguez every time that they get down there.
66:20So, I think you're just going to kind of see almost on a week-to-week basis unless something dramatically changes or injury.
66:27Basial Tootin kind of living in that, and correct me if I'm wrong, Heath, like that 18 to 24 range without buys.
66:34Right. And then, he's 20th. Would you go 20th this week?
66:37Basial Tootin or Bucky Irving? Irving. Yeah. Interesting. Okay.
66:40And then, yep, where do you have, Heath, I'm sorry, where do you have Jacobi Myers ranked?
66:45You said you're not buying it with him? No, he's, I mean, he would be right around 50th.
66:51So, I don't think he's in my top 48.
66:54Game? It's one game. Like, he's got three catches in his other two games combined.
66:59Yeah. We have, we have a narrative that's kind of been circulating a little bit that the Jags may be shopping Brian Thomas.
67:06And, I think if that's the case, you're either going to see maybe one or two things.
67:11Maybe some showcase opportunities to drive up the price or kind of like what we saw last week where it's like, eh,
67:18we don't need to win with him. We won with him, we won without him last year and we're going to potentially win without him this year.
67:27And that's not to say that he's not a big part of their offense because he does play a role that's prominent.
67:34But, the fact that he's now coming off the field for another wide receiver and we just got this game where Myers
67:41was featured for the first time this season. I'm okay starting Myers as a number three receiver.
67:46Okay. Yeah. One target last week for Brian Thomas Jr.
67:49And no, he was not shadowed by Christian Gonzalez.
67:52Not to say that he didn't face him at some point but he wasn't shadowed.
67:57We're not going to start Brenton Strange even with the matchup.
68:00Joe Burrow is a top six. Actually, I don't mind Brenton Strange.
68:04He's borderline top 15 tight end for me. Oh, really?
68:07Yeah. Just because of the, you probably looked at consensus.
68:10Yeah. The matchup is good. You know, and we saw a little bit of a spike in targets for him last week too.
68:17A couple. I think it was up to five.
68:20Five, yeah. So not huge. But it's a touchdown or a bus tight end situation.
68:25All right. Start your bangles and sit the DSTs.
68:28Let's go to our next game. Sorry. Give me 30 seconds.
68:31We'll do some chat questions. Lawrence or Purdy? Purdy.
68:34Purdy. Tootin, Pollard, Braylon Allen, non-PPR. Tootin. Tootin. Parker Washington.
68:37We need to sit one. Parker Washington, Jalen Warren, Aaron Jones.
68:41Ooh. I'm sitting Jones. I hate it though. Same.
68:44Hmm. Heath is struggling here. Yeah. I, um, I would, I guess, sit.
68:48Yeah. Jalen Warren. Trevor Lawrence or Jordan Love? Lawrence.
68:51Yeah. Tootin or Scadaboo? PPR. Uh, man, I go Scadaboo.
68:54And Lawrence or Goff and Shuck, Shuck or Burrow?
68:57I think I have Lawrence ahead of Goff, but I'm going to change that.
69:01So Goff and Shuck. Goff and Shuck. Shuck over Burrow.
69:04Wow. All right. Jets are at the Bears. So this is what I was referring to earlier.
69:09The way the Jets play defense. I am curious to see if they change their stripes, but so far they are the
69:16highest cover two team, highest rate of cover two in football.
69:20Two deep safeties so frequently. And if you looked at the way they played it against the Lions, I mean, it was obsessive.
69:27They just were not going to let anything get behind them.
69:31Um, and so far it's really worked for them.
69:33They, they see the fifth fewest air yards per pass attempt in the NFL.
69:38So, and it's been basically very consistent week by week.
69:41So the point is the Jets take away the deep ball and teams throw short on them.
69:46So you're thinking that's Luther Burden. That's Kalief Raymond.
69:49Maybe that's Colson Loveland. The question is you just saw case Keenum case.
69:53Keenum had a 6.1 yard, a dot in Henry.
69:56That's super low areas per pass attempt. Are the Jets going to change their stripes and play a little bit different?
70:03I probably not, but I just wanted to bring that up.
70:06That's the Jets strategy and, and more so than any team in football right now, basically their, their intent on taking away the deep ball.
70:14So does that resonate at all? Jamie, when you look at the bears receivers and, and what does it mean for you
70:21and, and which bears are you confident in this week?
70:24I'm starting Luther Burden. He's a number two wide receiver.
70:27You know, you got to be encouraged that the targets have been up and that Keenum and Burden had a strong connection in week three.
70:35You're obviously starting Deandre Swift. He's been very good.
70:38As you alluded to on Wednesday show, you like Swift better than Barkley rest of season.
70:43So I think that speaks to where a lot of people are at that Swift has just been that good.
70:49And maybe Barkley has been that bad, but that's really it.
70:53You know, Keenum's a starter in super flex and two quarterback leagues.
70:57You can't start Loveland. You can't start a duns.
70:59And Raymond, I think comes into play in three receiver leagues.
71:03I know you're very bullish on him and hopefully it pays off for you.
71:07Well, I mean, I'm very bullish on rostering him.
71:10Well, you just said you're starting him over Hampton, you know, so you're, you're clearly, you're clearly making some bold moves here with PPR.
71:18I would. Yeah. With, with Kalief Raymond, I think just, you know, the, the cautionary tale will be at some point, Loveland's
71:25going to get targeted to the point where maybe gets featured.
71:28This could be that game. Uh, Oh, doons is going to have some big games going forward.
71:34This does not feel like that game. So, you know, Raymond is, I think, you know, like you said, uh, the Tuesday
71:40or Wednesday, like this is a 32 year old guy that's never done this before.
71:45And now here he's doing this and being featured.
71:48That's just maybe the, the creativity and, and Ben Johnson being Ben Johnson.
71:52So you should absolutely ride it while it's there.
71:55Uh, and that hopefully Raymond comes through with another strong game.
71:58I would, I would look more weeks one week ones type of production as opposed to last week.
72:04I don't think he's gonna score many touchdowns. The crazy thing is no wide receiver has more than seven.
72:1066 yards against the jets so far. And that includes the Packers and the lions.
72:15It's, it's wild. Um, how would you guys compare Luther burden?
72:18Who's your favorite bears wide receiver to the Colts commanders guys?
72:22He's he is, I think just behind Josh downs, just ahead of the commanders.
72:26Downs, McLaurin burden, digs Allen for me. And then Cleef Raymond right behind the gallon.
72:31He's Cleef Raymond or Josh or, or Keenan Allen, uh, Raymond.
72:34Okay. Cleef Raymond or Braylon Allen PPR. Allen. Raymond.
72:37Let's talk more about Braylon. Uh, we're not that much more about Braylon Allen.
72:42Go, go back to, um, go back to the players.
72:45We love, I can't just keep repeating everything or the show will take forever, but Braylon Allen, I'll check the updated rankings.
72:52He is 22nd. He's 21st to 23rd for everyone.
72:55So he's right there with Bejal Tootin and Omari and Hampton.
72:58He said, he'd start him over Hampton. Jamie has them back to back.
73:02He's ahead of David Montgomery. He's ahead of Quinchon Judkins.
73:05This is Braylon Allen. Um, and, uh, then there's Garrett Wilson's a must start.
73:10And then we talked, Jamie, I asked you about Sadiq earlier and you talked a lot about him during one question for
73:17each game, but right now, Kenyon Sadiq for you is 12th.
73:20He's 11th for Dave. He's 10th for Heath. How much, again, I know you referenced it, but how much would his ranking change if Adonai Mitchell plays?
73:29So I have him one spot ahead of Schultz.
73:31I would put Schultz ahead of Sadiq if, if Mitchell plays, um, if Mason Taylor plays, I think that factors in also,
73:38but it's, it's really, you know, just more of, did they find what they drafted?
73:43You know, did they get what they drafted? Did they discover that this kid can make plays when featured and just continue to feature him?
73:51So I do hope that this is better than the total and that we get sort of a high scoring game here
73:58because the bears defense, I don't think is very good and played over its head last week, probably more so because of
74:05the Eagles offense and the jets are chasing points.
74:08Like we saw last week, you know, in a high scoring game, like we saw last week.
74:13And then we get the back and forth targets everywhere for the main guys and Sadiq produces.
74:18So, um, there's a few different ways this can go, but yes, if Mitchell remains out and Taylor remains out, I think
74:25Sadiq is in the borderline starting conversation and should absolutely be rostered just in case this is a sign of things to come.
74:33All right. Rostered everywhere. Excuse me. Let's get to the, Oh, Gino Smith.
74:37I don't think I even mentioned Gino Smith. Gino is 17th for Jamie, 14th for Dave, 24th for Heath.
74:43What's going on, Heath? Where's the Gino Smith love?
74:46Yeah. I just, I don't know that. I totally buy that Gino is playing great.
74:50And I don't think that the bears past defense is as bad as their run defense.
74:55Yeah, but now they have no run game. The Jets potentially.
74:59Well, I'm, I'm more optimistic on Braylon Allen. So that probably is part of it.
75:04Here are some chat questions, burden or DJ more.
75:06Burn it. Yeah. No, I got more. Khalif Raymond or Matthew golden.
75:10Golden. Golden. And by the way, if Christian Gonzalez, he missed practice Wednesday, but if he's out for any reason, you know,
75:17then DJ Moore is going to go up in the 100.
75:21No question. A mecca, a buka or Khalif Raymond.
75:23I have Raymond. I have Raymond one spot higher.
75:26Then I would still go a buka. You know, I'm not that sold on Khalif Raymond, but we'll, you know, hoping.
75:33Well, I mean, what's that sold on Khalif Raymond?
75:36A buka is not really playing well, and now he's got an undrafted rookie playing quarterback.
75:41A hundred percent. Yeah. Yeah. No, it's not an easy call.
75:44It mean it didn't mean to present it that way.
75:47Half PPR pick to Swift, Chuba, Kyron Williams. Woo.
75:50Sitting Kyron. I'm sitting Kyron. Okay. Loveland or Mark Andrews.
75:53Andrews. Andrews. Sadiq or Harold Fannin Jr. Sadiq. Okay.
75:56Next game. Let's go to. Actually, I'm sorry. I got to ask some Gino Smith questions, at least for Jamie, because I
76:03know the answer will be the other guy for Heath.
76:06Marcus Mariota or Gino Smith? Mario. Jacoby Brissett or Gino Smith?
76:10Brissett. Sam Darnold against the Chargers or Gino Smith?
76:13Gino. Oh, I'm bait. I am. No, I'm sorry.
76:15I have Darnold 16, Gino Smith. I just went 14, 15, 16, 17 in your rankings.
76:20I am sorry about that. I want to say Gino once.
76:24So I would start Gino over Justin Herbert. There we go.
76:27Drake May. I start Gino over May too. Okay.
76:30All right. We've got three games. Oh, I think I shortchanged Loveland too, but he's a sit.
76:36He's a sit. So does the Bears. He's a sit for anyone you might be considering starting.
76:41Yeah. I start Brent Strange over. Pits or Loveland?
76:44Uh, Pits. No, really? Okay. Um, all right. We got three games left and honestly, I think they're pretty easy.
76:50Chargers are at the Seahawks. I asked Heath earlier, is there only one must start in this game?
76:56And you basically said, yeah, there's only one guy you want to start.
77:00I think we've talked enough about Omari and Hampton.
77:03Um, we've talked a lot about Ladd McCong. I think really it's just the Seattle back.
77:08Yeah. Yeah. We haven't talked about that. I mean, would you start any Seahawks running back over Ladd McCong, Jamie?
77:14Oh no, I'd still start McCong. Okay. Uh, who's, how do you feel about Jadarian Price in general this week?
77:20Not great, but hopefully a is healthy and be that this is a game where they can lean on their run game
77:27a little bit more because they're playing with the lead and they're playing at home and they're playing a bad struggling defense.
77:34Um, you can't have any faith in Jadarian Price at this point, you know?
77:39So the, the one thing just to keep an eye on is, and I hope it doesn't go this way because I'd
77:46like to see Jadarian Price get a lot of work is, is this chest injury a problem?
77:51And they sit him and then it's Emmanuel Wilson.
77:54So you might not want to drop. I drop Wilson a lot.
77:58Like you might not want to drop Wilson just yet, just to see what happens till Friday.
78:03Okay. And you know, I'll just go ahead and put this out there.
78:07I think Sam Darnold was unbelievably good in week three, other than that second interception he threw and he played Washington and
78:14I get it, but he was great. And he led, he was second in the NFL in yards per attempt last year.
78:21They just barely threw. So I don't, you know, I think you can't be like, go start him.
78:27Chargers have a good defense. They did really well against Josh Allen last week.
78:31Um, of course they couldn't contain Kirk cousins, but who can, but I'm not saying, I'm just saying like, it's not crazy.
78:38He's 75% rostered. It's not crazy for Sam Darnold to have a good year.
78:42He did it two years ago. He's top 12 quarterback two years ago with the Vikings.
78:47Um, all right. That's pretty much it for this game.
78:51Uh, if we have any chat questions here, lad, scadaboo, or a Rishi rice at flex, it's got a, uh, rice and, but lad is last, right?
78:59Yeah. Yep. Emmanuel Wilson or Ja'Cory Krosky Merritt built, um, Emmanuel Wilson or built bill and Seahawks DST is third chargers.
79:06DST is a sit again. If you want to hear more about this, listen to the beginning of the show, the first
79:1325 minutes or so Patriots are at the bills.
79:16It's, it's kind of similar, right? It's a Heath.
79:18It's kind of similar to the, to the chargers Seahawks game.
79:22I mean, except there's more players to start for the bills, but it's like, it's just looks kind of one-sided right now.
79:29There is not a Patriot that anybody that I know wants to start.
79:33Jamie seems, I don't know. Maybe I misinterpreted a little, uh, open to Ramondre.
79:37I'm open to Ramondre in the same way that I'm open to Amari and Hampton, that I'm open to David Montgomery.
79:44Like, you know, this is a running back that should get work, hopefully in the passing game.
79:49This run defense has been sort of a weakness for Buffalo still.
79:53Um, I don't have a lot of confidence in Ramondre Stevenson, but I still like him better than Trevion.
79:59And you know, the Patriots are going to try and run the ball because they don't want to put this on Drake
80:06may and keep, you know, Josh Allen on the field.
80:09So I think he's in that low end number two flux range.
80:13And yeah, I think the bills run defense has been pretty solid.
80:17You know, it hasn't been weak enough to like Ramondre, but they are giving up the second most receiving yards to running backs.
80:24Maybe Ramondre can do something there. I mean, Alec Ingold had 35 receiving yards last week.
80:29Of course, Jameer Gibbs is also part of that.
80:32Uh, if you were going to take a shot on a Patriots wide receiver, Heath, which one?
80:37Uh, I wouldn't, I wouldn't. I think Matt Collins is the highest, but I wouldn't.
80:42Okay. I look, the bills blow out teams. They score a lot of points.
80:46They force a lot of throws. Every quarterback's thrown at least 34 times.
80:50So you get, you know, you get like Trey Harris at 76 yards last week.
80:55I honestly, like I, I have, I might have to start Matt Collins in a league, which isn't great.
81:01Well, and it might be Romeo dubs. Might be.
81:04Yeah. That's the problem. Okay. Hunter Henry's a sit after that dud last week, Josh Allen's a start.
81:10James cook is a start, even though it is the Patriots.
81:13He had one bad game against the Patriots last year, like terrible game against the Patriots when they had Milton Williams and
81:20he had 31 points against the Patriots without Milton Williams, but there's no way you're sitting James cook and Patriots run defense.
81:27Hasn't been quite as good this year as it was last year.
81:31We talked about DJ more at the top of the show.
81:34He is 23rd for Jamie 24th for Dave and 18th for Heath as of now, and not starting Khalil Shakir or Keon Coleman.
81:42And then we talked about Dalton Kincaid, but if we were going to sum up Dalton Kincaid one last time for the
81:48people who may have missed it, Jamie, what would you say about Dalton Kincaid this week?
81:53I'm still starting Dalton Kincaid. Here's one Dalton Kincaid, Khalif Raymond or Woody Marks?
81:58Kincaid. Kincaid. DJ more or Matthew golden golden. I have them very close right now.
82:03Definitely DJ more. If Christian Gonzalez is out, I will go to J more.
82:07Yeah, I don't think you're right to bring it up.
82:10I doubt. I shouldn't say that. We'll see if he'll probably get into practice on Thursday.
82:15Um, DJ more or. Blazio Tootin. Tootin. You have to say it like me though.
82:20Blazio Tootin. This is a question that I'm going to read just for fun.
82:24Uh, would you trade Jackson Smith and Jigba for Drake London and Chris Olave in non PPR?
82:30I don't think so. If I was starting JSN and I don't know, Keenan Allen.
82:34Yes. I think you do it anyway. Like those guys are going to be great.
82:39And Buffalo's DST is top 12. They really haven't been very good so far, but the Patriots second most fantasy points allowed to DSTs.
82:47Tennessee is at Baltimore. All right. For those of you who are like, I'm just going to wait.
82:52I have got all my questions answered at the 30 minute mark, but I really want to hear what Adam has to say about Mark Andrews.
83:01Cause he teased it. Here you go. Mark Andrews.
83:03He has not been great. He hasn't scored yet.
83:06He does not have a green zone or end zone target, which is weird.
83:11He has a 25% target share and a 28% target per outrun rate.
83:15And it's been consistent game after game, right in that range.
83:18And that blows away what he did in the previous two seasons where he had 70 or 69 targets in 17 games.
83:25So I can't sit here and get one asterisk.
83:28Is that they flowers just played like three quarters of a game worth of snaps.
83:33That is true. Andrews on the field more though, than he has been in the past.
83:38And they, I think they're going to end up throwing a little bit more cause the Mars not really running as much, but yeah, stay flat this week.
83:47No, no, no. Just in general, in general. But yeah, I mean, he's, he's maybe Mark Andrews is a tough call in this game.
83:54Jamie, how do you feel about him? I think there's so many tight ends that he has not been productive.
84:01There's easy pivot plays, whether it's Waller or Sadiq who are available on waivers, whether you want to go with a touchdown
84:08or a bus type of guy like a strange, who's got one more touchdown than Andrews.
84:13Jawan Johnson's easy. Dalton Schultz is easy. Like there's just ways to get away from Mark Andrews at this point.
84:19And he has an 18, 18% target share Wednesday.
84:22Flowers is on the field. Now to be fair, he missed a lot of time last week with a hand injury.
84:28He came back in the game. So, or not a lot of time.
84:32He missed time during the game last week with a hand injury.
84:36So, you know, who knows what would have happened in, in, in that game.
84:41So I'm still hopeful. He can be productive, but it's just getting harder and harder to trust them.
84:46All right. Lamar Jackson is second for Dave and Jamie and seventh for Heath.
84:51Heath, there's some guys you'd start over Lamar. It's just about, listen, there's a reason the Titans rank pretty well against quarterbacks.
84:58And I think they did last year too. It's because quarterbacks don't have to do anything against the Titans.
85:04And you, you know, you can see, you can see Derek Henry just having this huge game and Lamar handing it off a lot.
85:11So seventh is not exactly low. Start Henry, sit Bateman, start flowers, sit Andrews.
85:16If you can, the Titans wide receivers, Jamie, good game for Wanda Robinson.
85:20Last week, Carnell Tate had nine targets and, and a solid game, 11.8 points, but those were their best games by far.
85:27Any interest here? Not really. Wanda still more than Tate, but not by much, you know, so low end number three receivers at best.
85:34Start the Ravens DST. That's it for our show.
85:37I think we have a few questions here for this game, Nashville or Baltimore trying to give the Titans some sort of win.
85:44Nashville. Nashville. Okay. I've never been to Baltimore, but sure.
85:47Nashville. Great. One of the best aquariums you'll ever go to.
85:51Oh, New York pizza or Kansas city barbecue, Kansas city barbecue.
85:54And this is really a good idea. Let's let Jamie answer.
85:58Here's the unbiased one. I've only had one, so I'm going to take a New York pizza, but I would love to try Kansas city barbecue.
86:06Okay. Good answer. Lamar Jackson or Jared? You're not getting, you're not getting any that way.
86:11I can't, I can't speak to something I haven't had.
86:14I've only heard wonderful things. You can get it through gold belly.
86:18Uh, yes, probably. Uh, I mean, it's like, unfortunately for Heath, like the one time he had New York pizza, Dave took him to the worst place ever.
86:27Oh yeah. That's ridiculous. I mean, there's like 75 New York pizza places within 20 minutes of me.
86:33That's true. Not quite as good. I promise. Ravens or Niners?
86:36How would Dan describe that? Wait, do you think this is New York pizza?
86:40This is not even close to New York pizza.
86:43They're all better. They are all better than the New York pizza that I actually had.
86:48That's so sad. That's so sad. Ravens DST or Niners DST?
86:52Amazing. Uh, Ravens. Love Ravens. Can I share a personal story before we go?
86:56Always. You know we're only an hour and 20 minutes in.
87:00I gotta go. So you can tell your story.
87:03You can relate to this. My son is the smallest kid in the class.
87:07He's in third grade. He's playing flag football, third and fourth graders.
87:11It's a, it's a challenge for him. Okay. He's that kid a little bit.
87:15He had a catch yesterday. He had a pass breakup yesterday.
87:19He had a tackle yesterday. He won the, he got the game ball.
87:23They have like a, a chain, a game chain.
87:26I give. I was so happy. Oh, it was like one of the best moments I've had a long time.
87:32Oh, such a great moment. They're, they're really, you know, I know he can speak to his office.
87:38There really are no, there, there are not a lot of better moments when you watch your children excel at things.
87:44And if you love sports and you watch them excel at sports, like it's just such a great thing to see their like happiness.
87:52And when their teammates are happy for them, it's just like, uh, did I tell you, I threw my son out of the game.
87:59He told me off the air. But so, um, the flip side of that is, uh, when you coach your kids and
88:06he, um, he didn't slide at home and got tagged out at home on a pass ball.
88:12He's nine. Um, and I just said, just go sit down.
88:15Like not, not mad at him throwing him out of the game.
88:19I was mad at him. They didn't slide. Uh, and then he tried to make excuses as he's walking back to the dugout and threw his helmet.
88:27And I just said, you're done. Just go sit down.
88:30Like, don't, don't even look at me. And then another coach who's much more of a disciplinary and made him run foul
88:37poles, um, which I was happy about. And then he came back and he was a little bit more calm.
88:44But yeah, like when you see your child do great things like that's so awesome, Adam.
88:49Congratulations. I knew, you know, I saw a post on social media this week.
88:53It was about how your dad is the only person who wants you to be better than him.
88:59Yep. And I think it's nice that your son at, how old is he now?
89:04He's eight. Eight has already surpassed your athletic accomplishments.
89:06So that's fantastic. Yes, sir. Is your son, uh, all American yet?
89:10Uh, not an all American yet. We did have our first, uh, our, I attended our first, uh, team workout on Wednesday morning.
89:17So we're, we're ramping up. It's going to be a fantastic basketball season.
89:22Oh, he's like a prodigy. We're looking forward to that.
89:25All right. We'll, uh, we'll talk to y'all tomorrow with the NFC home games on fantasy football today.
