0:00I've waited as long as possible to make this flex rankings list for y'all because I wanted all the up-to-date injury information. Now, we don't need
0:07to talk about any of the SA or B tier level players because they are going to be must start. You don't think about it,
0:13right? Be jeans in your lineup. Puka, you already started. JSN, Kenneth Walker, CMC, Jonathan Taylor, Kairen Williams, Cid Lamb, Brock Bowers,
0:24Javvante, James Cook, Drake London, Chris Lave, Nico Collins, DeAndre Swift, Dererick Henry, Trey McBride, Mike Evans, Chuba Hubard, and Raandre
0:33Stevenson. The only guys maybe worth bringing up at all here, Mike Evans, super good spot. For the love of God, make sure he's in your lineup. You have
0:44no Ricky Pier Saul, no Dejon Stribbling, no Debo Samuel, probably no Christian Kirk. It's really just Mike Evans, George KD in the best match up possible
0:52against the Commanders where the Niners project almost scored 30 points. So Mike Evans, yes, you can consider him an elite name for this week. He looked
0:59phenomenal last week with Raadre Stevenson. This ranking is under the assumption that Trevon Henderson is going to miss. Now that has not been
1:09confirmed. Trevian Henderson did practice on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. So, if Trevian Henderson, who is questionable for Sunday's game, does
1:21indeed play, Raadre Stevenson falls like a rock. Now, the initial reporting on that injury was that it was a high ankle
1:28sprain. So, you would assume that Trevian's not going to be able to play this week, but who knows at this point
1:35after the practices. Now, we will start talking about these C-tier players, even though they're probably in your lineup, or at least I would hope that they are.
1:44Christian Watson set up to absolutely smash. I would love to have Christian Watson higher than this. He's on my own fantasy team. Um, here I will say it is
1:53the best matchup possible going up against the Dallas Cowboys where the Packers project to score 27 points in this game. The only holdup that I have
2:03with Christian Watson myself, as y'all know, a massive Christian Watson proponent coming into this season, somebody I drafted, was super excited
2:11about, is this man has had eight targets a game, but 1.2 touchdowns a game. Yeah, the touchdown efficiency is just not
2:21sustainable. So, the touchdowns will be coming down here, but I don't know. I just hope that this game gets to a shootout on Sunday night.
2:30We get another massive, massive performance because I desperately need it for my own team. Malik Neighbors is still crushing. This is a good matchup
2:40against the New Orleans Saints. This dude just had back-to-back games with 20 fantasy points and he just had like 20 targets as well. So, Malik Neighbors
2:49very similar to Christian Watson. The upside would be the wide receiver one overall this week. Z Flower is going to be lower than these guys for this week
2:57here for us because frankly the Baltimore Ravens offense is just going to be much worse than usual. You can see this with our Derrick Henry ranking as
3:05well. You have no Lamar Jackson. The Ravens project to only score like 21 and a half points. So, you do have to lower
3:11expectations in general with these guys like Henry and Flowers. Devonte Adams projects to be the highest scoring offense in the NFL this week. The Rams
3:20should score 32 total points. I am terrified that I have to go up against Puka Nakua and Kairen Williams for my
3:28own fantasy team. Devonte Adams is probably the best red zone wide receiver in the entire NFL and what projects to be the best offense in the entire NFL
3:37this week. The only holdup that I would potentially have here is if we end up seeing the Arizona Cardinals face plant,
3:45it may be a spot in which the Los Angeles Rams are able to just run the ball over and over and over again. Now,
3:51Ashton Genty is in a very weird spot because Genty over the past two weeks has seen his usage fall. And at the same
4:00time, we were told that I don't know, this plantar fasciitis may be something he has to deal with all year. And then on the flip side of it,
4:11Genty says he feels better than ever and he practices starting on Wednesday. So the practice reports him getting cleared for the game so early would maybe make
4:20me think, oh okay, yeah, we don't need to be concerned about this injury at the moment. It's just super super confusing.
4:27I will say it's a good matchup and you probably got to start Genty regardless.
4:31Now going to Parker Washington, typically Parker Washington is going to be much much higher than this. This is just a very tough matchup that you have
4:41where he is playing against the Houston Texans. And while this Jags offense is phenomenal, typically they project a score like 25, 26, 27 points in any
4:51individual week, this week those projections are down at 22 and a half.
4:56And also one thing that I will point out here, while I definitely think you should start Parker Washington, he looks unbelievable, blah blah blah, but he is
5:03averaging fewer points per game than any other wide receiver in this tier, not named Malik Neighbors. Now, our last player we will talk about is going to be
5:11Jaylen Borin. Now, obviously, Jaylen Borin's a little bit lower in the rankings this week as opposed to where he was a week ago. Very simple. Why? The
5:21very simple explanation is you have Rico Dattle back in. And while I expect that, yes, Jaylen Warren remains the three down running back.
5:31Jaylen Warren remains the feature running back in this offense. Instead of him seeing 90 plus% of the opportunities, he's probably down at 70
5:4075% with Rico Dattle having something here. Now, moving over to our next name that we're going to have. This is
5:51Garrett Wilson. So, the reports right now, I believe, are that Kenyan Sadi's going to play and Omar Cooper may as well. So, you actually do have a little
6:00bit of target competition here for Garrett Wilson. Obviously, not a ton.
6:06And it's a tough matchup playing in New England where the New York Jets, this offense projects to score fewer points than any other team, any other
6:16offense that we've talked about so far this video. So phenomenal player, clear alpha in his offense, but maybe the
6:25slight additional competition for targets and the fact that the Jets project to be the worst offense that we've discussed so far in this video
6:34does maybe scare me off of ranking Wilson as like an elite wide receiver one. Now going to George Pickkins, they are a strong game environment against
6:44the Green Bay Packers. You definitely need to start Pickkins. You definitely need to start Matthew Golden. Again, this game as an overunder of 53 points.
6:53So, it could be a massive shootout. But I will say the one big pickins game that we have had been with CD Lamb getting
7:01banged up and CD Lamb not playing a ton.
7:04And CD Lamb's been fully removed from the injury report. He's had 10 days to rest since Thursday. So, Lamb probably goes back to being an alpha. And while
7:12Pickkins is still somebody that you need to start, he may be just a little bit more of a boom bust option. Matthew
7:18Golden still incredible, getting a ton of target volume, just as much if not more than Christian Watson. Obviously doesn't have the same big playability or
7:27the same red zone threat given the size, but it's a phenomenal offense and a phenomenal setup in general. Now, Bucky Irving may be actually higher in these
7:37rankings if you have no Shawn Tucker.
7:40Shawn Tucker currently is a game time decision here for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Removing him from this offense obviously does help a
7:49considerable amount project Bucky out for the goal line role, but it's going to be a very bad offense regardless.
7:55Brilan Allen obviously in this same very bad offense that you have with Garrett Wilson. Um, also very similar projection to what you have with Bucky Irving. I
8:05would say Brilin remains a running back that you need to start because he continues to see 90 plus% of the opportunities with no breezo. The volume
8:15is incredible. Similar of course to like Garrett Wilson. The limitation is just going to be the offense that he's in.
8:21And then Beel Toutin here with Toutin it is a good offense but it is a very tough matchup having to play against the
8:29Houston Texans. And also, we have seen some of the running backs like Chris Rodriguez have a goal line role. Plus, we have seen, of course, Lquint Allen go
8:39in there on third downs.
8:41Now, moving over to the E tier, Michael Wilson's in a much tougher matchup this week in comparison to where he was last
8:49week. Last week against the Detroit Lions, we had him ranked as a top 10 wide receiver. And honestly, he was disappointing finishing with seven and a
8:56half fantasy points. I mean, he was the wide receiver 50 last week, but ultimately, if you look at the underlying volume, he's averaging 10
9:04targets per game. There are very, very few players in the NFL you can look at right now that are averaging 10 targets
9:11per game. And while this Cardinals offense doesn't project out to be great, uh, the game should still be super high scoring with an overunder of like 53
9:19points. Now, Tedo McMillan is going to be an absolute jam. I would be a little bit more excited about him if Jaylen
9:27Herz was here for the Philadelphia Eagles because I would have assumed that oh okay maybe the Carolina Panthers will be forced to throw the ball here. But
9:36because the Panthers are pretty heavily favored with no Jaylen Herz, I think you have to be maybe slightly more hesitant with McMillan. Now AJ Brown is a player
9:45that is impossible to rank right now.
9:47I'm going to rank him as if he is playing. Now, I am going to put out a video tomorrow on Saturday where I'm
9:54going to give you all the latest injury information. Plus, I'm going to be live streaming Saturday night and Sunday morning um answering all your fantasy
10:04football questions in the live chat as well. So, please just make sure you're subscribed to the channel. If you are, you should be able to come out and get
10:10those latest injury updates. Now, Devont Smith is also a very tough player to look at. He has been cleared that he is
10:18good to go for this game. But again, the expectations for this offense with no Jaylen Herz have been lowered greatly.
10:26If you disagree, if you think, oh no, Jaylen Herz is a bum. Jaylen Herz leaving this offense makes Philly more likely to win, then by all means,
10:35don't look at Poly Market US where we can see that the odds were essentially a 50/50 coin flip before the Herz news.
10:43And once Jaylen Herz got ruled out, um, we've actually seen the Carolina Panthers jump up to a 62% chance of winning this game with the Eagles at a
10:5438% chance. Now, I will say that I think the departure of Herz hurts the offense more than it hurts the
11:04receivers, to be honest. I think maybe just the percentage of points scored from Philadelphia actually increases through the air because the backup
11:11quarterback's not going to have the rushing touchdowns. Now, obviously, if you wanted to check out any of those markets on Poly Market US, you can find
11:18the link in the description, in the comment section, in the live chat. Sign up with code flock, you'll get $25 added
11:24to your account after you deposit your first 10. Polyarket US is available in every state outside of Nevada.
11:32Now, going to George KD. George KD is an absolute jam. And to be honest with you, I actually think that I need to be
11:38moving George KD up these rankings. Um, I still have him at tight end three for sure. Don't get me wrong. He has to stay
11:46there. But like, if I view KD versus Matthew Golden. I think KD outscores him. So, realistically, KD should be in the C tier. I will update that on the
11:56site right after this video. Now, going over to Woody Marks. I think you are going to get him usable for two weeks. I
12:02think you're going to get him usable for this week, next week, and then we have the by-week for the Houston Texans. And
12:11then David McGomery probably comes right back and makes this a running back by committee. We saw Woody Marks with no David McGomery last year in this Houston
12:19backfield. And was Woody Marks the league winner? No, far from it. Plus, this is a tough matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So, you're
12:27probably starting them just based off volume, volume, volume. But at the same time, I don't think you're super excited for it. Now, Emanuel Wilson already
12:35played obviously was much more disappointing than this ranking. And then looking at Cam Scataboo, um Scat, I am excited about the matchup against the
12:45New Orleans Saints, but the overall usage as a receiver has gotten scaled back dramatically with Jameus Winston under center. Jameus just doesn't look
12:54to check down to the running back out of the back field that often. So, that's hurt. And also, of course, the fumbles
13:00maybe lead this to continue to be a running back by committee. Now, going over to what we have inside the F tier,
13:08Jaylen Coker has been completely removed from the injury report. Now, Jaylen Coker through the first two weeks this season was an incredibly strong name
13:18where he's the wide receiver one in fantasy in week one, the wide receiver 18 in week two, then obviously gets injured in week three. But those were
13:27two incredibly impressive performances for what appears to be a full-blown breakout. Now, I don't want to get over our skis too much because last year he
13:36averaged 8.2 fantasy points per game.
13:38And I still think that Tedo McMillan is the alpha wide receiver who was selected inside the top 10 picks of the NFL draft
13:44and was a much more compelling prospect.
13:47But it looks like Coker and McMillan are both going to be startable for you. Now, Luther Burton is in a good game
13:54environment playing in Atlanta in the dome and you have Caleb Williams back presumably that hasn't been 100% guaranteed,
14:04but assuming that Caleb does come back here. Um, Burton obviously is going to be in a better offense. Tyler Warren did
14:12pop up on the injury report on Friday with a groin injury. He was reported as limited. So, it will be very important
14:20to see what happens with his status on Saturday. If Tyler Warren plays, he's in my lineup. If Tyler Warren misses, that
14:28is going to jump up Josh DS and Keenan Allen in these ranks. DK Medaf is probably somebody that you have to start
14:35even though he has been really really bad so far this season. But you have so many different injuries to the Steelers
14:43receivers here with Michael Pitman Jr.
14:45as well as Roman Wilson that Medaf is going to be somebody that's just going to get peppered with targets. Now, Marshon Lloyd is maybe the worst
14:55starting running back in the NFL this week, but he also has the best matchup of any running back in the NFL this
15:02week, getting to go up against the Dallas Cowboys. So, that tells me that Marshall Lloyd is going to be somebody that frankly you just got to jam in your
15:09lineup. Going over to Tyler Algier, Tyler Algier is in an Arizona Cardinal offense where they are 12 and a half point dogs against the Los Angeles Rams.
15:19So you do not need to sit here and assume that Algier is some must start must start running back but he is gonna
15:27get the adequate volume. So very similar to Marshon Lloyd if you're dealing with bye you can definitely look in his direction. Now going to Travis Kelce.
15:36Kelsey is going to get a pretty big bump up um just because you have no Rashid Rice here in Kansas City. Now, the
15:45overunder this game is very low just because the Los Angeles Chargers aren't going to be able to put points on the
15:50board, but hell, the majority of Mahomes targets should be going the direction of Travis Kelce this week. Now, our last guy that we have is going to be Terry
16:01McLaren. Stefon Diggs got in a limited practice on Friday, but we don't know if Stefon Diggs is going to be good to go.
16:09This will be a game environment where you do have the Washington Commanders forced to throw the ball a considerable amount. Sounds like Jakori Kroski
16:18Merritt's probably going to be missing this game and their seven and a half point dog. So we'll see if we have no
16:26Stefon Diggs. If Diggs gets ruled out, Terry McLaren goes even higher in these rankings. Now going to the G tier.
16:33Isaiah likely currently getting peppered with targets. Isaiah likely also averaging 17 fantasy points per game right now. So every week that goes by,
16:42he is going to be going higher and higher and higher. Um, honestly, I think you can make an argument that he is way
16:49too low here as is. This is a really good matchup against the New Orleans Saints as well. Now going to Tucker
16:57Craft. Tucker Craft does have a phenomenal matchup here against the Dallas Cowboys. Craft has looked better almost every week that's gone by, which
17:05is kind of the natural expectation for a player coming off a significant injury.
17:09Now, for Jawan Johnson, um it's a better matchup this week than what he had last week. And on top of this as well, you
17:18still have no Jordan Tyson, so he's still very clearly the number two target earner in this offense. Now, Carnell Tate is in a better game environment
17:28this week in comparison to where he was last week. Last week, the Tennessee Titans projected to be the lowest scoring offense in the entire league.
17:36This week against the Indianapolis Colts in Indie, while they still should be a very bad offense, they project to score more points than the New York Jets this
17:45week and uh slightly slightly more than the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as well. So, well, yeah, they're supposed to be one of the worst offenses in the NFL.
17:53They're not projected out to be the worst. It does help that Miami is on by now. Xavier Worthy, I do feel so damn
18:01stupid. I dropped him off my fantasy football team a couple weeks ago before the Rashid Rice injury, before the Taekwon Thornton injury, but now Worthy
18:11does project out to be the wide receiver one for Patrick Mahomes. too. We think that he is a super talented wide
18:18receiver at this point of his NFL career. Eh, probably not. But when you're playing with arguably the best quarterback of all time, he is going to
18:25be able to elevate you. Now, going to Damen Pierce, Saquon Barkley's been ruled out and Will Shipley's been placed on the IR. This is also a phenomenal
18:35matchup that you have going up against the Carolina Panthers. But you actually do have the Philadelphia Eagles projected out as the lowest scoring
18:43offense of any team in the NFL that we have at least talked about so far this week. Now going to Denzel Boston. Denzel
18:52Boston was higher than this in my rankings earlier in the week, but that was with the assumption that Casey Conpion was going to be missing this
19:00game. Casey Conception has gotten cleared from concussion protocol, so he should be playing, which does negatively impact Boston. I also think it
19:08negatively impacts him as well, having no Lamar Jackson cuz less likely that the Browns have to go into garbage time, just throw the ball over and over and
19:17over again mode. Then our last guy that we have here will be Dalton Concincaid.
19:22Um, with Concaid, maybe I make the argument, oh, he had a really tough matchup last week having to play against the Los Angeles Rams. Hey, he may just
19:31suck. He's on my fantasy team. I'm praying to God that this dude gets better because he's had three straight dud weeks and it's just been absolutely
19:40brutal.
19:42Now going over to our H tier, we are going to be let off with Harold Fannon.
19:47Harold Fannon also gets a slight drop down with Casey Conception coming back in because again the targets are just going to be dispersed from a multitude
19:56of different players. Now, Jaylen Waddle obviously was horrific. Um, Josh DS will go higher if Tyler Warren ends up
20:07missing this game. If Tyler Warren misses, I would move Josh DS ahead of these guys like Cardell, Tate, Xavier Worthy, and Josh DS would be up in the F
20:17tier. Now, Rashad White's impossible to rank just because we do not have the status right now of the running backs in
20:23Washington. Jaka Crossitz miss practice every single day but at the same time I mean we have no idea how healthy Rashad
20:31White is. We don't even know about Austin Eckler. So we are just going to have to wait here frankly. Now going
20:37over to Quinn Sean Judkins. Very similar setup. Dylan Samson has been ruled out but we don't have the clarity just yet
20:46of Quinn Shawn um himself. He missed practice earlier this week dealing with the ankle. Not the best offense, not the best running
20:56back. So again, I'm going to rank him in a range where you probably don't plan on starting him right now. Dallas is in a
21:03really bad offense, but hell, maybe he's going to get peppered with targets like he did last week. I'd assume it's not
21:09super likely though now that Devont Smith is back. Now with Roma Dunay, Rome has been trending in the right direction over the past few weeks, but that's also
21:20been with no Caleb Williams. We're about to get Caleb Williams back into this offense. And frankly, I mean, we have just seen Roma only have a stretch of
21:29four games in his entire NFL career, and we're in year three at this point where he has been usable. Now, our last player
21:37is going to be Lad McConi. You actually do have 17 points projected right now for this Los Angeles Chargers offense.
21:46That is the lowest projection of any team in the NFL this week. So, I think you should have super low expectations
21:55here for Lad. Um, I am playing against him, so maybe I'm a little bit biased.
22:00He is off the injury report, though, which is at least a little um nice to see if you got him. Now going over to
22:09our I tier Abuka is going to be in my own lineup. But while he was useful last week that was in a spot in which you had
22:19the best matchup possible going up against the Dallas Cowboys, I don't know if that's going to be the case again this week against the Pittsburgh
22:28Steelers where you have I mean an 18 and a half point total for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while at the same time like Eggbuk is averaging 10
22:38and a half fantasy points per game. This dude's been horrific. Now going over to Coloulston Lovel, he's averaged 4.8 fantasy points per
22:48game, but he has been train t train t train t train t train t train t train t train t train t train t train trending
22:50in the right direction with his target volume and potentially the offense is going to be better now with Caleb Casey Conception. Obviously only six and a
22:58half points per game, but also he has had more target volume in the games he's been healthy than Denzel Boston. He just
23:07frankly hasn't looked nearly as good.
23:09Stefon Diggs missed practice on Wednesday, missed practice on Thursday, but he did practice on Friday. And then Devon Vele actually, you could very
23:21easily make an argument that he needs to be higher than this. Obviously, last week it was a really tough spot for him
23:27where he had to go up against the toughest defense in the entire NFL.
23:31Now going over to our J tier, Blake Cororm typically is just a backup running back that you want nothing to do
23:39with, but this week you have so many points being scored by the Rams that you can just hope that Blake Corm gets a garbage time
23:49touchdown. Now Alvin Kamara is in my own lineup. Yes, that is how bad my fantasy team is. We're down in the J tier and I
23:57am putting um somebody in my lineup at running back too. Hell, I I still have more players that are going to go in my
24:03lineup we haven't even discussed. But Kamar is still questionable. We don't even know if Alvin Kamar is going to play or not. Now, Romeo Dobs obviously
24:12very tough to rank without knowing the status of AJ Brown. That will be out something we have to update on Saturday
24:18and Sunday. Khalil Shakir is impossible to rank right now while we don't know DJ Moore. DJ Moore did get in a Friday
24:25practice. So if DJ Moore plays, Cleo Shakir will not be startable. Jeremy Bernard, good waiverwire pickup. That gives you a lot of late season upside,
24:34but I don't know if we want to play him the first week he's in here. Jacobe Meyers, tough matchup against the
24:40Houston Texans, but obviously he is the guy over Brian Thomas. And then Kenan Allen is somebody that I am potentially looking at to pick up off the waiverwire
24:50in the flock league. I think he's probably a bad play if Tyler Warren plays, but he's probably a good start in
24:58deeper formats like the Flock League if Tyler Warren were to miss. And again, Tyler Warren did pop up on the injury
25:03report on Friday. Now, going over to our Ktier, these are the last players you could consider starting. Hunter Henry if AJ Brown does not play. Pat Frymuth with
25:15all the injuries that you have in Pittsburgh. Tyler Higgby with no Terrence Ferguson and what should be a great offense. Tony Pard, close your
25:23eyes while you do it. RJ Harvey already played and was way better than this.
25:28Omari and Hampton playing 30% of the snaps and the worst offense in the NFL.
25:32No thank you. Juan Del Robinson is in my lineup, but he's the wide receiver, too, and one of the worst offenses in the
25:40league. Um, Keon Coleman only startable if you have no DJ Moore. and Britain Strange would be a better play if it
25:48wasn't a tough match up against the Houston Texans. But I think that's all I got for y'all. I really hope I was able
25:53to help you out in some way. Please, if you have not done so already, drop a like, subscribe to the channel. Um, I
25:59will be live on Saturday and Sunday giving you more injury information as well as answering all your fantasy questions. But much love, ladies and
26:07gentlemen. really appreciate you and I hope I get to see you on the live stream later
