0:00I have lost my fantasy football matchup
0:02for two weeks straight. And a big reason
0:03is this guy, Drake May. So, we've spent
0:06a ton of time trying to get these
0:07quarterback, tight end, and DST rankings
0:10correct. Obviously, we don't need to
0:12discuss either of Josh Allen or Lamar
0:14Jackson. You know that they are absolute
0:17jams. Now, going over to the B tier,
0:19this is where I think you have your
0:21mustart quarterbacks this week. They're
0:23not necessarily elite like the Allen or
0:27Lamar pairing, but they're still
0:29incredibly strong options. Starting with
0:32Tyler Shuck. Now, after week one, I
0:34wasn't fully ready to buy into Tyler
0:36Shuck with his 23 fantasy points. 56
0:39pass attempts in a game against the
0:41Detroit Lions. It goes to overtime. A
0:43lot of it was junk volume, or at least
0:45that's what I thought. But here's the
0:47deal now with Shock. We have learned
0:50through the first three weeks this year,
0:52this is going to be a super fast-paced
0:55offense. They are going to be running a
0:57ridiculous amount of plays now that you
1:00no longer have Travis ETN. There may be
1:03a small dip in the rushing volume that
1:06we see and it may look a little bit more
1:09like the Green Bay Packers where
1:11obviously the Packers with no running
1:13backs. They're forced to throw it over
1:14and over and over again. Right now we do
1:17have the Atlanta Falcons matchup looking
1:19really juicy. We have a 25point imply
1:22team total here for the New Orleans
1:24Saints. So Tyler Shuck looks like he is
1:26set up to absolutely smash now. Going
1:29over to Joe Burrow. Burrow hasn't
1:31exactly been an elite name in fantasy
1:33this year, but he has had some tough
1:36matchups. Right. I mean he has increased
1:38his touchdowns per game every single
1:40week from one in week one, two in week
1:42two, three in week three. This match up
1:45against the Jacksonville Jaguars has an
1:46overunder of this game over 50 points.
1:49So should be very high scoring and you
1:51should plan on starting Burrow. Now
1:53moving over to Trevor Lawrence. Again,
1:55very similar setup here. This game
1:57should be very high scoring. So you know
1:59you want to start both of these
2:00quarterbacks. Um here you do have the
2:03Cincinnati Bengals favored. So the
2:05Bengals should score the ball a bit more
2:08and that's going to be my tiebreaker to
2:09go Burrow over Lawrence. But I will say
2:12with that, you do have the rushing
2:14upside being a little bit more appealing
2:16for TAW. Now, Patrick Mahomes has been
2:19an absolute crusher and the Kansas City
2:22Chiefs project to score 26 fantasy
2:24points this week. Now, week one, Mahomes
2:27ran the ball a ridiculous amount, right?
2:29He had a rushing touchdown, seven
2:30carries, 23 rushing yards. What we've
2:33historically seen for Patrick Mahomes is
2:36in the games in which he doesn't need
2:37to, he is going to protect his body.
2:40He's not going to run the ball. He is
2:42going to stay in the pocket. I would
2:44expect that maybe to be one of those
2:45matchups that you have playing in Las
2:48Vegas, but who knows? I mean, it's a
2:50division game kind of for the division
2:51at this point. So, you could see Mahomes
2:54running the ball a bit more than normal.
2:55Dak Prescott's been great in fantasy so
2:57far this season, averaging 21 fantasy
2:59points per game. The hesitation is this
3:02matchup at Houston is one in which the
3:05Dallas Cowboys project to score fewer
3:07points than they normally do. Now, with
3:09all of that being said, I will say these
3:12seven quarterbacks are very exciting
3:15starts. If you have them, you jam them.
3:17You don't need to think twice. Now,
3:19moving over to the seeds here, we are
3:22going to be led off with Brock Party.
3:23Brock Party has been so much better than
3:25any quarterback in fantasy this season,
3:28outside of one guy, and that is Josh
3:31Allen. My only hesitation that I have
3:33here with Pertie with this ranking right
3:35this second will be one I don't know
3:37what Mike Evans going to play in this
3:39game. So there is a small chance that
3:41for Pury you have no Ricky Pier Saul no
3:44Christian Kirk no Dean Shribling and no
3:46Mike Evans. So for your top five wide
3:48receivers are going to be missing. That
3:50is a small possibility that we have.
3:53Plus it's a tough matchup against the
3:55Denver Broncos. Now of course Brock Pery
3:57is playing at an MVP level. So, I
4:00wouldn't fault you at all for going
4:02through and absolutely jamming him. Now,
4:04going over to our next name, we are
4:06going to have Jared Goff. Super
4:07high-scoring game environment here for
4:09Goff going to Carolina. 27 point imply
4:13team total. Now, this team is favored.
4:16You should honestly probably expect a
4:18considerable amount of rush attempts
4:20with Jir Gibbs, but should be a very
4:22high-scoring offense. The only
4:23hesitation that you would have is the
4:25fact that Goff isn't going to run the
4:27ball much himself. going to Bryce Young.
4:30Very similar setup here, right? Bryce
4:32Young playing in this same game. Right
4:34now, the overunder this game, I want to
4:36say, is 51 points. Let me go ahead and
4:38pull this up to confirm. But this is in
4:41general a game environment in which you
4:43would really like to have one of those
4:45streaming options at quarterback. If
4:47Kyler misses, there's a chance I end up
4:50having to pay like $10 fab to get Bryce
4:52Young in my league. I mean, if we look
4:55at the market numbers for this game
4:57right now, three and a half point
4:58spread, 51 a.5 point total. Right now,
5:01if we go over and look at the PPR point
5:04marks for these names, Bryce Young has a
5:0664% chance of scoring 17 or more fantasy
5:10points. It's just the best matchup you
5:11could possibly have going up against
5:13Detroit. But obviously, if you wanted to
5:15check out any of these markets, you can
5:17find the link to Poly Market US in the
5:19description as well as the comment
5:21section. If you sign up with promo code

5:25your account after you deposit your

5:29available in every single state outside
5:32of Nevada. Lastly, we will have Jaylen
5:36Herz in this tier. So, Jaylen Herz super
5:38disappointing this past week. Obviously,
5:40he hasn't been that great from a real
5:43life perspective, but I will say I still
5:46have faith that the rushing will get
5:48back to what it was. like if he wouldn't
5:50have gotten taken out for a concussion
5:52in week three, obviously he did return
5:54to the game, but they were at the goal
5:56line. If you would have just had another
5:58rushing touchdown for Jaylen Herz, the
6:00fantasy day would have looked a lot
6:01better. It is a tough matchup going up
6:03against the Rams, though. But
6:04regardless, all of these top 11
6:07quarterbacks, if you got them, you
6:09probably start them. Now, moving over to
6:11the Dtier, these are the streaming
6:14names. Now, right now, I am potentially
6:17planning on playing Kyler Murray. Now,
6:19this has been something I have thought
6:20long and hard about. You do have the
6:23Minnesota Vikings projected to score 25
6:26points this week against the Miami
6:28Dolphins. You also have no Jordan Mason.
6:30So, unless Aaron Jones is about to touch
6:33the ball 30 times, or you think the
6:35running back they just traded for and
6:37Devin Neil are just signed is somehow
6:39going to be ready to roll right away,
6:43then yes, this could be an offense that
6:44runs the ball a ton in the second half
6:45because they are favored by 10. I
6:48wouldn't be surprised though if they use
6:50this as a statement game for Kyler. Week
6:53one, the sample was way too small. We
6:55couldn't take anything away from it.
6:57Week three, Kyler Murray was bad for
6:59fantasy purposes because Jefferson got
7:01knocked out at the very beginning of the
7:02game. What I will say is Jefferson did
7:05not practice on Thursday. So, if
7:07Jefferson ends up missing, what we are
7:09probably going to have to do is lower
7:11Kyler down. And you shouldn't expect
7:13Kyler to be viable. Now, if Jefferson
7:16misses, I would rather you start CJ
7:18Strad over Kyler Murray. The difference
7:21between the two will be that CJ Strad
7:23has no rushing upside, but very similar
7:26to the Minnesota Vikings, the Houston
7:28Texans project to score a lot of points
7:31here. They have an implied team total of
7:3325 a half because they have a great
7:35matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Now,
7:38with Jordan Love, this is a offense that
7:40of course um they can't run the ball.
7:42They have no running backs. We are
7:44currently seeing Jordan Love average
7:47over 40 pass attempts per game so far
7:49this season. Now, he has yet to eclipse
7:5220 fantasy points in a game. Big reason
7:54for this is just the fact that he isn't
7:57running the ball at all. He has
7:58literally zero rushing yards this
7:59season. But six-point passing touchdown
8:02format, you give a bump to Love Straoud
8:04and you also give a bump to Matthew
8:07Stafford. So, um, in reality, if you're
8:09in a six-point pass passing touchdown
8:11format, you probably prefer Stafford
8:13well ahead of Kyler. And honestly,
8:15because Jefferson didn't practice this
8:17week, I think we are going to move
8:18Matthew Stafford up to the 12 spot. I do
8:21just want to be a little bit hesitant
8:24here just given the fact that you're in
8:26a setup in which one, we obviously is
8:28no, he's not going to run the ball at
8:29all, and two, it is a pretty damn tough
8:32matchup that you have going up against
8:35the Philadelphia Eagles. So, so let me
8:37move Stafford to the top of this tier
8:40because realistically I would much
8:42prefer him over Kyler, even if the
8:44matchup's tougher. And I will say again,
8:46the Rams project to score fewer points
8:49than what you have with the Minnesota
8:50Vikings as well as the Dallas Cowboys
8:52this week than the last quarterbacks
8:54that I think are viable that you could
8:56look at. Bodnicks hasn't been great in
8:59fantasy this year and doesn't have a
9:01great matchup going up against the San
9:04Francisco 49ers. Drake May I have
9:06learned my lesson with. I mean, this is
9:08somebody that obviously has consistently
9:11fallen down fantasy football rankings
9:14through the course of this season. Uh,
9:16probably the most disappointing
9:17quarterback in fantasy alongside Justin
9:20Herbert this year. Daniel Jones, good
9:22matchup, but I think they are going to
9:24very much lean on Jonathan Taylor.
9:26Marcus Mariota, we can't be confident
9:28that he is the starting quarterback over
9:30Jaden Daniels right now. Jacobe
9:32Brassette and then Justin Herbert at the
9:34very bottom here. A big thing with
9:36Herbert specifically, which I know some
9:38of y'all probably have dealt with the
9:39pain of starting him over the past few
9:41weeks, is this matchup against the
9:44Seattle Seahawks is one in which Justin
9:46Herbert currently projects to be one of
9:48the worst offenses in the entire NFL
9:51that projects to only score 18 total
9:53points. Now, let's go over to tight end.
9:55Tight end, obviously, you know, you are
9:56starting Brock Bowers, you are starting
9:58Trey McBride. are not thinking twice
10:01about that. Moving over to where we
10:03stand with the A tier, we are going to
10:05have George KD leading us off. And
10:09here's the deal with KD. While it's a
10:10tough matchup going up against the
10:12Denver Broncos, he's averaging 16
10:14fantasy points per game right now.
10:16Again, we do not currently have the
10:18status on Mike Evans. So, because we
10:21don't know about Mike Evans, um you are
10:24potentially going to have George KD,
10:26Debo Samuel. That's it. And this offense
10:28currently projects to score 25 points.
10:31So you would 100% need to go through and
10:34jam KD into your lineup. Now Tyler Borne
10:37here at four. With Tyler Borin, I am
10:40hoping he gets outscored by our next
10:42guy, Daltton Concincaid. However, you do
10:44have really, really strong matchups for
10:47both Warren and Concaid. With Warren
10:50specifically though, he had 10 targets
10:52this past week. He's playing over 89% of
10:55the snaps every week. has yet to have a
10:57game with fewer than 10 fantasy points.
10:59And again, the Indianapolis Colts
11:01project to be a much much better offense
11:03this week. So, these top five tight ends
11:05are auto starts. If somehow you have
11:07more than one of them, you probably
11:09should look to trade one away or also
11:11you could be flexing the other. Now,
11:14going over to Btier, we are going to
11:15have Sam Leaporta. In week three, the
11:17target volume wasn't as impressive as
11:19what we had through the first two weeks.
11:21But again, just in general, I think we
11:23want to be starting as many players as
11:26we possibly can in these game
11:28environments in which you have um the
11:31Detroit Lions playing because the Lions
11:34have a bad defense. They have a great
11:35offense almost every single week. We see
11:38the projected overunder being over 50
11:40points for these games. So, I think
11:42Samora clearly has touchdown upside. And
11:44then Travis Kelce has been a legitimate
11:47beast with Travis Kelce here averaging
11:50over 16 fantasy points per game. Most
11:52people have talked about, oh, he got in
11:54shape for the wedding that led to him
11:56being faster, looking younger this year
11:58than he ever has before. Now again,
12:01while I will consistently move them up
12:03my rankings and we go through and look
12:05at the average ranks on flockfantasy.com
12:08and you can see that at this point with
12:11him skyrocketing up to being 90th
12:14overall and looks like he's not slowing
12:16down anytime soon.
12:18He did only have two targets this past
12:20week. Now, one of those targets did go
12:21for a touchdown. So, I I do want to see
12:23a larger sample because this is a 48
12:26year old tight end that I think
12:28realistically probably will regress a
12:31little bit, but your top seven tight
12:33ends are absolute must starts. If you
12:35have them, you got to start them. Moving
12:37down to the C tier, this is about the
12:38range where you can be looking to bench
12:40these guys. Dalton Schultz looked like
12:42he was a mustart name last week with no
12:44Nico Collins and obviously turned out to
12:47be very disappointing, but this week
12:49here it is a massive bounceback game for
12:54this Houston Texans offense. They
12:56project to score over 25 points against
12:59a very bad Dallas Cowboys defense. Jawan
13:03Johnson has been absolutely balling.
13:04Jawan Johnson remains a lock as a top 10
13:08tight end until Jordan Tyson comes back.
13:10Once Tyson is back here, then you would
13:13assume that you end up getting
13:17an additional target competitor with
13:20Jawan. He probably scales back his usage
13:23a bit, but for this week, he's healthy.
13:25It's a beautiful matchup. Super high
13:27total. Saints should score a ton of
13:29points. And not every single ball can go
13:31to a lav now. Mark Andrews at 10. Um
13:35here awkward spot with Andrews cuz he's
13:37had the target volume. He's had at least
13:39five targets every single game and the
13:42Baltimore Ravens project to be one of
13:44the best offenses in the NFL this week.
13:46The potential hesitation that you would
13:48have is getting Z Flowers back in
13:51obviously puts you in a spot in which um
13:54they have a better weapon they can look
13:56at. Harold Fannon has increased his
13:58usage every week going from three
14:00targets to six targets to nine targets.
14:03This is just in general a game
14:04environment in where there are supposed
14:06to be 37 and a half total points scored.
14:09So I would like avoiding the Cleveland
14:11Browns offense if possible. And then for
14:14Tucker Craft specifically, Craft had a
14:17couple big drops. He has yet to hit 10
14:19fantasy points in a game. His snap rate
14:21fell from 98% against the Jets down to
14:2476% this past week. But hopefully the
14:28Green Bay Packers can look much better
14:30against a dumpster fire Tampa Bay
14:32Buccaneers team. Now moving over to our
14:34Dtier, we are going to have Colston
14:36Loveland, Kenyan, Sadiq, Isaiah likely.
14:40Loveland averaging fewer than three
14:42fantasy points per game right now. Every
14:44week that goes by, he goes lower and
14:46lower and lower in these rankings, but
14:48he was about this far off from scoring a
14:50touchdown this past week. Looking at
14:53Kenyan Sadi, this ranking is under the
14:55assumption Adani Mitchell does not play
14:57and then in that case very easily could
15:00be startable. Isaiah likely may be a
15:03little bit low here. He's had the target
15:05volume. Obviously, it's tough to see him
15:07score what three and a half points this
15:10past week. only have 33 receiving yards
15:13the week prior and the fact that this
15:15isn't a phenomenal offense here for the
15:17Giants at this point. We have Jake
15:19Ferguson in a tough matchup with serious
15:21target competition as well. And then
15:23while I am generally anti- Darren Waller
15:27with the Jaylen Coker injury, Waller had
15:30eight targets this past week and he
15:32worked himself up to 51% of the snaps.
15:36So, I wouldn't want you to start Darren
15:39Waller in 99% of scenarios. However, in
15:43this one here specifically, it is kind
15:45of the perfect game environment. Tyler
15:47Higgby is an interesting name to look at
15:49if you end up in a spot in which you do
15:52not have Terren Ferguson, Hunter Henry,
15:55TJ Hawinson, Britain Strange, Pat
15:57Frymuth could all be absolute
15:58desperation plays as well. Now, last
16:01week, what the data showed us is we
16:03wanted to be targeting the defenses
16:05going up against backup quarterbacks.
16:07That was the Seattle Seahawks going up
16:09against Marcus Mariota and that was the
16:12Philadelphia Eagles going up against
16:14Case Keenum. Uh, turned out to be
16:16completely wrong. Those were horrific
16:18defensive plays and instead you wanted
16:20to be playing the Jags against Drake
16:22May. So, we'll see what happens this
16:24week. My guess is that you absolutely
16:27need to be playing the Minnesota Vikings
16:30who are going up against the Miami
16:32Dolphins team that has no Devon. I would
16:34be very much interested in a very good
16:37Pittsburgh Steelers defense as well.
16:39Green Bay gets to go up against an
16:41undrafted free agent rookie quarterback.
16:44Baltimore is an 11point favorite against
16:46the Tennessee Titans. And then the
16:48Seattle Seahawks go up against the
16:50Chargers. And the Chargers project to
16:52only score 18 points this week. So, I
16:54would say these are your phenomenal DST
16:57plays. Going over to the A tier, the
16:59Buffalo Bills get to play against Drake
17:01May. Obviously, Drake May just looked
17:03terrific. The Kansas City Chiefs go up
17:06against an undefeated Raiders team, but
17:09this has been a pretty good Chiefs DST
17:12so far this season. The Los Angeles Rams
17:15get to go up against a struggling
17:16Philadelphia Eagles offense where the
17:18Rams are favored by about three points.
17:21The Texans go up against a very good
17:23Dallas Cowboys offense, but the Texans
17:26are at home and they have one of the
17:27better defenses in the NFL. The San
17:29Francisco 49ers go up against the Denver
17:32Broncos. And then we have your Chicago
17:35Bears playing the Jets. The Cleveland
17:36Browns in a game with a 37 and a half
17:38point overunder. The Denver Broncos,
17:41great defense, really tough matchup. New
17:43Orleans Saints get to go up against
17:45Michael Penn. Obviously, Michael Penn
17:47did just look really good though on
17:48Thursday night. And then the
17:50Philadelphia Eagles, again, very similar
17:52to like the Denver Broncos. Really good
17:54defense, but really tough matchup. But I
17:58think that's all I got for you. I really
17:59hope I was able to help you out in some
18:01way with this. Of course, if you wanted
