Player analysis

Player insights

44

Aaron Jones

PositiveRole15:09

Has been cleared and is good to go; will see a ridiculous amount of volume. Speaker does not think he is the most talented running back in the league but the volume projection is strong. Had considerable volume when healthy last week; speaker wants to see him expand his role as a receiver.

Insight page

Adonai Mitchell

PositiveMatchup22:09

Thumb injury to monitor but has the best matchup and setup possible vs. a very bad Detroit Lions defense. Omar Cooper absence and Kenyan Sadi's lack of production create a favorable opportunity; situationally strong despite player concerns.

Insight page

Blake Corum

PositiveValue24:08

Corum is a premium handcuff; if an injury occurs to Kalen Corum, Blake Corum could win your league, indicating significant upside if the starter goes down.

Insight page

Brock Bowers

NegativeInjury18:00

Was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, missed practice Friday; team said this was the plan but speaker is uncertain about his role this week. Speaker has lowered expectations compared to a couple days ago; definitely have to plan on playing him if you have him.

Insight page

Bucky Irving

PositiveUsage5:18

Irving's usage has been incredible and he should be started despite a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. His receiving volume will keep fantasy production afloat even in a difficult game environment.

Insight page

Cam Sims

NegativeMatchup11:00

Sims is in the Giants offense, which is favored against Tennessee at home—a rare occurrence without Daniel Jones. However, Sims is currently being used in a running back by committee, limiting his upside.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveProjection3:29

Watson is in the B tier and was 'an absolute jam' with how the Packers offense projected out. The source got those points in his lineup and is happy about it.

Insight page

Chuba Hubbard

PositiveProjection5:50

Hubbard is an automatic jam at this point, averaging 19 fantasy points per game with no Jonathan Brooks. The Panthers can easily win and run the ball in the second half against the Bears. He looks like one of the best picks in fantasy drafts given the guaranteed volume he will see every week.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

NegativeInjury12:20

Missed practice Wednesday and Thursday but got in practice Friday; sounds like he is probably going to play, though uncertain if he will be limited with shoulder injury. Missed a considerable amount of practice this week overall. Speaker would prefer Dalton Kincaid between the two but would still play DJ Moore given how good the Bills offense is; his practice absence could force the Bills to lean more heavily on Kincaid, potentially reducing Moore's target share.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

NegativeProjection16:54

Has been much better than other running backs so far this season, averaging 22.5 fantasy points per game; however, Chicago Bears project to be a worse offense than Cleveland Browns and Cincinnati Bengals this week. Caleb injury dropped Bears' win probability from 70% to 30%; still splitting carries with Kyle Manungai; speaker not super excited to jam in DeAndre.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

PositiveProjection12:09

Kincaid is the source's personal tight end and is expected to continue leading the Bills in targets. The Bills project as a top-three offense in points scored, supporting Kincaid's target leadership role. DJ Moore's practice absence this week could further increase Kincaid's target share.

Insight page

Dalton Schultz

PositiveUsage18:24

With Nico Collins out, Schultz is positioned to be flooded with cheap target volume. Flock Fantasy describes him as "an absolute jam just like he was last week," noting that the offense will simply have to find ways to get the ball to somebody, and Schultz will be that primary target.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeRole11:42

The source has hesitation with Montgomery's ranking because Nico Collins is expected to not play (already ruled out). Without Collins, the Texans offense looked poor last week and will struggle to space the field, lowering expectations for the entire offense including Montgomery.

Insight page

De'Von Achane

NegativeValue2:26

Achane has fallen from grace in the rankings, dropping from 12 overall at the beginning of summer to 19 overall. He faces a tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are massive 11-point favorites over Miami, meaning the Dolphins will likely be trailing and passing less.

Insight page

Deebo Samuel

PositiveRole20:44

Startable given San Francisco injuries and the Niners projecting as a top-three offense in the league. Ranking skyrockets if Mike Evans misses the game, creating additional opportunity.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

NegativeBreakout23:15

Trending toward every-week starter status at 66 (ranking/ADP); young rookie breakout with NFL draft pedigree. Hesitation due to playing for the Cleveland Browns and concern the bottom may fall out from the organization. Characterized as a boom-bust name due to volatility in production.

Insight page

DK Metcalf

NegativeUsage21:08

Getting a ton of target volume but catch rate concern is limiting fantasy output. If he improves ball security, fantasy points will be much better than current production.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveRole2:05

London is in the B tier and is fully back with Michael Penn after playing last night.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

PositiveMatchup6:30

Wilson has safe target volume with Omar Cooper on IR and rookie tight end Kenyan Sadique doing nothing. He faces the Detroit Lions defense, which ranks 31st in opposing wide receiver points, creating an excellent matchup for volume-based production.

Insight page

George Kittle

PositiveProjection24:35

Kittle is working back from a torn Achilles; once he is 100% healthy, given the fact that his team has no other weapons, he could be an absolute monster in the offense.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

PositiveUsage8:45

Chase is the focal point of the Bengals passing attack; concentrated targets make him a core play. Everything goes through Chase in this offense.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

NegativeInjury7:26

Coker was initially expected to miss the game with an ankle injury but is most likely going to play as of late Friday night. However, Kyler Murray assumes he may be limited in his availability, which will benefit teammate Tedo McMillan's volume.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

PositiveProjection19:55

Jameson Williams has been frustrating this season but is viewed as a talented player still capable of a big blowup week. Flock Fantasy expects a random 25-point game from him relatively soon and is starting him rather than trading him away despite the inconsistency.

Insight page

Javonte Williams

PositiveUsage4:31

Williams is seeing every single touch in the Jets backfield and played 80% of snaps in the past week. Despite not being an explosive or particularly talented runner, he's in a good offense with a good game environment and will get the ball frequently. Ranked in B-tier flex.

Insight page

Jaylen Waddle

PositiveUsage9:24

Despite facing the toughest matchup against the Rams, Waddle is a play recommendation. Week 2 usage was phenomenal, supporting a start despite the Broncos projecting slightly worse this week compared to last week. The source emphasizes that Waddle's strong usage trend outweighs the difficult matchup.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

PositiveUsage7:11

Warren is in the B tier and will get guaranteed work. He is seeing every single touch in the backfield, played 80% of the snaps last week. While not a super explosive or talented running back, he will get the ball a lot in a good offense with a good game environment.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveBreakout17:33

Jeremiah Love is ranked in the F tier with an uptrend projection through the season. Flock Fantasy believes he can very easily be a league winner in the second half of the year. The strategy is to bench him and wait for the breakout rather than play him immediately, similar to other rookies like Carnell Tate.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

NegativeDepth Chart25:24

Jonah Coleman was initially expected to be the only healthy running back in Denver, but the situation has completely flipped, suggesting a significant change in the backfield depth chart or availability.

Insight page

Ladd McConkey

PositiveRole10:25

McConkey is a riser due to Chargers tight end injuries. He has been practicing in full all week, and the source expects increased usage close to the line of scrimmage over the middle of the field as the team compensates for tight end depth issues.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveInjury9:49

Nabers is fully off the injury report and cleared to play. The Giants project to score over 20 points, and the source would not be surprised if Nabers moves up to the tier with George Pickens within a week, though there is some hesitation due to situation uncertainty.

Insight page

Michael Wilson

PositiveRole23:48

Has cemented himself as the wide receiver one in Arizona, surpassing Marvin Harrison in the depth chart.

Insight page

Quinshon Judkins

PositiveUsage13:45

Averaging 8.5 fantasy points but underlying usage metrics look pretty good, suggesting upside potential despite the modest point total. Expanding his role as a receiver, which is new for him; Dylan Samson is on IR, opening up more opportunity.

Insight page
PositiveUsage14:12

Averaging 8.5 fantasy points but underlying usage looks pretty good; expanding his role as a receiver, which is new for him; Dylan Samson is on IR, opening up more opportunity.

Insight page

Rashod Bateman

NegativeBust21:51

Boom-bust flex classification. Prior week-two benching recommendation was a wrong call, but still viewed as a volatile option rather than a reliable starter.

Insight page

Sam LaPorta

NegativeMatchup18:03

High-scoring game projection with 50-point over/under; consistent target volume through first two weeks; trade recommendation if paired with Trey McBride—sell Leaporta to team needing tight end to upgrade at wide receiver. Game projects to be very high-scoring with 50-point over/under; has been getting consistent target volume through first two weeks; speaker suggests if you're sitting with Trey McBride and Sam Leaporta, you should look to sell Leaporta to a team that needs a tight end.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

PositiveProjection0:15

Barkley is in the B tier and should be started with zero hesitation. He had a stinger injury last week but got into full practice on Friday and is cleared to play. The Eagles are massive favorites over the Bears and should be able to run the ball in the second half. Poly Market US fantasy player props give him a 51% implied probability of scoring 15 or more points in Week 3.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

NegativeMatchup24:48

Diggs has been a monster so far this year, but faces a really tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense, which has given up the fewest amount of points to opposing wide receivers all season. The Washington Commanders project to score only 161.5 points this week, the worst offense in the league, which is why Diggs will be ranked below waiver-wire wide receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Denzel Boston for this week.

Insight page

Tee Higgins

PositiveUsage8:18

Higgins is a starting recommendation due to concentrated targets in the Bengals offense. The source emphasizes his role as a primary target alongside Ja'Marr Chase, noting that everything in Cincinnati's passing attack goes through both receivers. Despite Pittsburgh not allowing many points to opposing wide receivers this season, Higgins' super concentrated target share makes him a core play.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

NegativeMatchup24:35

McLaurin faces a tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks defense, which has given up the fewest amount of points to opposing wide receivers all season. The Washington Commanders project to score 161.5 points this week, making them the worst offense in the league, which is why McLaurin will be ranked below waiver-wire wide receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Denzel Boston for this week.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

NegativeProjection24:17

Pollard has scored only 6 fantasy points per game so far this season; however, in this specific matchup setup, the Tennessee Titans may be able to win and run the ball in the second half, creating potential for increased production.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

NegativeRole11:20

Etienne has cemented himself as the starting running back in Jacksonville with a nice workload, but he is not getting all third-down work. Laquon Allen is taking some of those cheap targets, limiting Etienne's receiving upside and overall fantasy ceiling.

Insight page

Tre Tucker

NegativeRole23:57

Flex-worthy due to his role in the offense. Characterized as boom-bust similar to other players in this tier, but the role justifies flex consideration.

Insight page

TreVeyon Henderson

NegativeDepth Chart20:24

Trevon Henderson is the preferred New England running back option if forced to start one, but Flock Fantasy recommends waiting a couple more weeks for backfield clarity before fully committing to the lineup, as touch distribution between Henderson and Radadre remains uncertain.

Insight page

Trey McBride

NegativeRole2:05

McBride is in the B tier and is described as 'really a wide receiver one that you get at the tight end position.' In regular leagues he plays the tight end slot; in formats where tight end slots as flex, he's likely played. If you're sitting with both McBride and Sam Laporte, you should look to sell Laporte to a team that needs a tight end, implying McBride is the preferred tight end to keep.

Episode Transcript

0:00I just want to help you submit your starting lineup for this week. And you already know you start Gibbs. You already know you start JSN. You already
0:07started Bjan Robinson. You're starting Walker. You're starting Amanra. You're starting Jamar Chase. You're starting CD Lamb. Nothing to talk about with the A
0:15tier. There's also nothing to talk about. If you have McAffrey, Dererick Henry, Jonathan Taylor, James Cook, Ashen Genty, Chase Brown, Devonte Adams,
0:24Chris Ave, or Saquon Barkley, you start them with zero hesitation. I guess maybe we can reference obviously I am making these rankings under the assumption that
0:35Devonte Adams is an absolute jam because Pukanaku is going to miss this week and also the updated practice report that we
0:43have with Barkley is of course he had the stinger injury last week but he did get into full practice on Friday. They
0:50told us that he is going to be a-okay, good to go this weekend. And the Philadelphia Eagles are massive favorites over the Chicago Bears, so
0:58they should be able to run the ball in the second half. Now, moving over to the B tier, this is maybe where you're a
1:03little hesitant in shallow formats.
1:06Justin Jefferson is somebody that obviously I am rooting for in a big time way. I mean, I absolutely love Jettis.
1:14He's the wide receiver one for my own team. The only hesitation you could possibly have to not put him in the top
1:20two tiers this week is we don't know what the offense is going to look like with Kyler Murray, but obviously I'm
1:25going to be optimistic on my wide receiver one. Drake London, you already started last night. Looks like he is fully back with Michael Penn. Trey
1:32McBride here is a really a wide receiver one that you get at the tight end position. So obviously if you're playing
1:39in a regular league, he's in your tight end slot. If you are in a format where your tight end slots a flex, you're
1:46playing him more likely than not. Devon Achan has had a fall from grace in the rankings. Right? If we go through and
1:53look at his ranking overtime on flockfantasy.com, he started off the beginning of the summer up at about 12 overall. He has fallen down to 19
2:01overall. And this is going to be a tough matchup that he has here having to play against a very good Kansas City Chiefs
2:09team. And if you look at this Chiefs setup right now, they are massive favorites. They're 11 point favorites over the Miami offense. HN will get used
2:19as a receiver though, so lowered expectations, but you start them. You already started Christian Watson.
2:23Christian Watson was an absolute jam with how that Packers offense projected out. Super happy we did. I got those points in my lineup. Thank God. Devont
2:31Smith is going to be a very interesting name to be on the lookout for because right now you have Devont Smith missing
2:39practice on Wednesday as well as Thursday, but he did get in some practice on Friday, not a full session.
2:49The problem with starting Devont Smith here is if we go ahead and look at this Eagles Bears game, this is the Monday
2:57night game. So, if we don't get clearance from Devonte Smith this weekend, you may want to play it safe.
3:03Now, you're not going to see any Chicago Bears for a while in this video, speaking of this game, because damn, look, before the Caleb Williams injury,
3:12the Bears had a 57% chance of winning this. But after Caleb got injured, that went down to a 32% chance on Poly Market
3:20US. Right now, the Chicago Bears project to be one of the worst offenses in the entire league, projecting only to score
3:2717 and a half points this week. But obviously, if you want to check out any of these markets, the link to Poly
3:33Market US is always in the description.
3:35It's always in the comment section. Sign up with code flock. You'll get $50 added to your account after you deposit your
3:40first 10. And Poly Market US is available in every single state outside of Nevada. Now, moving over to our next player, we are going to have Chuba
3:50Hubard. Hubard is an automatic jam at this point. He is averaging 19 fantasy points per game. You have no Jonathan Brooks. And this is a game in which the
3:58Carolina Panthers can very easily win and very easily run the ball in the second half playing against the Chicago Bears. So, um, Chuba Hubard looks like
4:06he's probably one of the best picks in fantasy drafts, at least where he went in my league, given the volume that he
4:11is just guaranteed to see every week that you have no Brooks, which will be a while. Bree Hall here is playing at
4:18Detroit now. Good news, bad news. Bad news is Breeall still plays for the Jets. So they are five and a half point
4:24dogs in this. But the good news is this is a bad Detroit Lions defense. So the Jets hopefully should be able to move
4:31the ball down the field. Now Javvante Williams in the last spot of Btier. He's going to get guaranteed work, right? I
4:40mean, he is seeing every single touch in this backfield. He played 80% of the snaps this past week. He's not a super
4:47explosive running back. He's not a super um talented running back, but it doesn't matter. This is a good offense, good game environment, and he's just going to
4:55get the ball so damn much. Now, moving over to our seats here. Now, the problem that you have with Amari and Hampton,
5:02even though this is a player I did like coming into the year, is that the Los Angeles Chargers are garbage. So, we can
5:10see that they are massive dogs in this game. And yeah, Marin Hampton has been falling down the rankings on flockfantasy.com as you'd expect. And
5:18the sad thing for Hampton will be the Buffalo Bills are going to be trailing a lot of these games. Now, moving over to
5:27our next one, we are going to be looking at Bucky Irving. Bucky Irving's usage has been incredible. The problem is going to be that he plays for the Tampa
5:36Bay Buccaneers in a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, but you're most likely starting him, of course, and the receiving volume is
5:43going to keep you afloat. But as somebody who has a buuka on their own roster, for the love of God, Tampa,
5:48please turn things around. George Pickins at 28. George Pickkins has been horrendous so far this season, but I do think that Pickkins is one of the more
5:57intriguing Bo candidates that you can have in fantasy right now. And I think we could get this first pickins blowup game going up against the Baltimore
6:05Ravens in Brazil where the overunder of this contest is over 51 points. So there should be a ton of action. Now Kairen
6:12Williams is still the lead running back here in what projects to be a very good offense. This is a tough matchup going
6:19up against Denver even if Kenneth Walker ran all over them in week one. But Aka is somebody that I'm just starting until
6:28Blake Corbin officially takes the job.
6:30Garrett Wilson has safe target volume.
6:33Omar Cooper on the IR. Kenyan Sadique the rookie tight end doing nothing. And this is a garbage defense for the Detroit Lions. They rank 31st in
6:44opposing wide receiver points.
6:46Obviously, we had just seen what the Buffalo Bills did to this DST. So, yeah.
6:51Um, Garrett Wilson should be able to easily eat here with volume in a good matchup. Parker Washington, massive, massive riser. Nobody has risen more in
7:01the expert average rankings on flockfantasy.com than Parker Washington so far this season. He has cemented himself as the true wide receiver one for Trevor
7:10Lawrence. It's a decent spot in which the Jacksonville Jaguars project score over 24 points against the New England Patriots. So, if you have Parker
7:18Washington, obviously you are going through. you are jamming them. Now, looking at Tedo and McMillan, McMillan projects very well playing against the
7:28Cleveland Browns here. Um, yes, the Cleveland Browns were pretty good against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers last week. Week one, they gave up a zillion
7:36points to opposing Jacksonville Jaguars receivers. The thing to be on the lookout here for the Carolina players is we actually did have Jaylen Coker uh
7:46looking like he was probably going to miss this game with an ankle injury. But right before I recorded this super late
7:51on Friday night, they did tell us Coker's most likely going to play. But my assumption at the moment will be that
7:57Jaylen Coker may be a little bit limited and obviously that is going to help McMillan in this instance. Then going over to Rashi Rice. Um Rice has been
8:06disappointing because a lot of the short area dump offs that previously went to him because the Chiefs had no running back. Now they just use Kenneth Walker
8:14for. So the usage hasn't been great.
8:16This is a game in which we're not expecting the Chiefs to have to throw the ball 50 plus times with the Miami
8:21Dolphins playing in Miami. So I still think you start Rice until we see otherwise, but with lowered expectations.
8:29Now, moving over to our next here, we are going to have T. H I H I H I H I H I
8:32H I H I H I H I H Igggins leading us off. So, super concentrated targetry that we have here in Cincinnati. Um
8:38Pittsburgh hasn't allowed a ton of points to opposing wide receivers so far this year. I mean, we just saw what happened with the New England Patriots
8:45last week where obviously the Patriots just ran the ball over and over again this Steelers defense, but still everything's going to go through Chase,
8:53everything's going to go through Higgins. So, I think you're starting Higgins given the concentrated targets.
8:57Mike Evans will be our next name. I am stressing having to play against Mike Evans in this spot because again, San
9:05Francisco has everybody hurt. Deshun Shribbling by. Um, even Christian Kirk by Ricky Pierol by before the season even got here. Now, Mike Evans did miss
9:15practice on Wednesday. He did miss practice on Thursday, but he got into Friday practice and it sounds like he is most likely going to be good to go. Now,
9:24of course, this will be something that you need to continue to monitor though because there is no guarantee that we have right this second. Now, going over
9:32to Jaylen Wadd. Um Jaylen Wadd toughest matchup against the Rams. The Broncos did project out a little bit better last week in comparison to what they are
9:40doing this week, but um still I think you got to play him. Week two, the usage was phenomenal. Week one against Kansas
9:47City, Boicks just crapped his pants. I don't expect that to happen very very often. Malik Neighbors here. I am playing against Malik Neighbors as well
9:55this week and he is fully off of the injury report. So I think you have to assume that Neighbors is a-ok okay good
10:03to go and at the same time the Giants do project to score over 20 points in this game. So I am kind of hoping that Malik
10:11Neighbors is used as a decoy because I have to go up against him. But I wouldn't be surprised at all if one week
10:17from now Malik Neighbors is back up here in this tier with George Pickkins. I just want to be a little bit hesitant
10:22with the ranking because obviously there is some uncertainty with the situation.
10:25Lad Maki has been practicing in full since the very beginning of the week.
10:29And on top of this, the injuries that we have to the tight ends for the Los Angeles Chargers does make me a little
10:36bit more optimistic that they may use Lad and just pepper him close to the line of scrimmage over the middle of the
10:42field. So, I think Lad is a riser with all the injuries that we've had to the tight ends in Los Angeles. This is a
10:49game in which the Chargers are going to have to throw the ball a ton against Buffalo. So, I think we run it like the
10:55Bills have been the 30th offense in the league in terms of allowing points to opposing wide receivers. Like we just saw Monro St. Brown run it up against
11:03them last week. Cam Scataboo in this same offense here with Malik Neighbors where the Giants are actually favored in this game, right? There going to be very
11:10few games all year long in which the Giants are favored with no Jackson dart, but playing against Tennessee at home will be one of those. The problem that
11:19you have with Scat is right now he's being used in a running back by committee. Bashel Tutin has a pretty nice workload here in Jacksonville. He
11:27has cemented himself as the starting running back. Problem that you have with Tuton though is he's not getting everything on third downs, right?
11:33Laquent Allen's coming in. Lquit Allen is sh taking some of those cheap targets. So hopefully Toutton can expand that receiving game skill set, but I
11:42think he has it. It just needs to be used. David McGomery will be our next guy playing in Indianapolis. My hesitation with the David McGomery
11:49ranking is obviously we are expecting Nico Collins to not play. I think Nico's actually already been ruled out at the time of making this. Um, and in that
11:58instance, like if I am looking at this Texans offense with how it looked last week, it looked garbage, right?
12:07I think we have to lower our expectations on the Texans offense in general and their ability to space the field if they have no Nico, which again
12:18looks to be the case. It's already been confirmed. Now going over to Dalton Concincaid Concade is my tight end that I have on my team. I'm rooting for him
12:27in this game. The Buffalo Bills project to be a top three offense in the league in points scored. So, I would want to
12:33see Cancade go through and continue to lead this team in targets. DJ Moore does look like he is most likely going to
12:40play, but at the same time, DJ Moore did miss a considerable amount of practice this week, so wouldn't be the most
12:46surprising thing in the world if they do just um get forced to lean on Concaid.
12:52Now, going over to Jaylen Coker, again, you have to monitor the Jaylen Coker ankle stuff. As it stands right now, they are telling us that he is going to
13:00play and he's averaged over 24 fantasy points per game. He's been the wide receiver one over Tedaro McMillan.
13:06Again, coming into this season, my expectations were Tet was the wide receiver one here. Um, I think it was maybe just small sample randomness why
13:14Coker has been that go-to guy and the fact that Coker has dealt with the ankle. I don't want to be a little bit
13:19more hesitant on him than what we are with Mr. McMillan. Now going over to E tier, we're gonna be led off with acha
13:26Eggbuka. My friend, please for the love of God, do something.
13:31Whether it's your fault, whether it's Baker's fault of why you're not producing, I don't know. I don't care.
13:36But dear God, I need some McBuka points to save my life here. It's a tough matchup though, going up against the
13:42Minnesota Vikings. Again, it has not been good up until this point because like Baker Mayfield and this offense have not been able to get things going.
13:52Looking at Quinnshan Judkins, Judkins is averaging eight and a half fantasy points at the moment, but the underlying usage looks pretty good, especially
14:01considering the fact that Dylan Samson is on the IR. So, we uh now have here from Quinn Sean Judkins is him actually
14:09going through and expanding his role as a receiver, which is something we hadn't had in the past. Now, going over to
14:17Aaron Jones, Aaron Jones has been cleared. He is good to go. And very similar to Judkins, he is just going to
14:23see a ridiculous amount of volume. Now, do I think that Aaron Jones is the most talented running back? No. I don't think
14:30Aaron Jones is the most talented running back in the league by any stretch of the imagination, but this is a matchup in
14:36which you do have the Minnesota Vikings favored over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
14:40Aaron Jones had a considerable amount of volume when he was healthy last week. I think what you want to see from Aaron
14:46Jones, though, is you want to see him expand his role as a receiver. Jaylen Boren also probably looks like somebody you got to play, right? I would say all
14:53three of these running backs are running backs where I don't love their offenses.
14:57I I don't love the running backs themselves, but they just project to get volume volume. Right now, it looks like Rico Dattle is most likely going to miss
15:05this week. And even though Jaylen Warren is arguably um in one of the worst offenses in the NFL and what historically has been a tough matchup
15:14where Cincinnati's defense has been balling here, um I don't know. I think Warren, you probably jam. Looking at DeAndre Swift, DeAndre Swift has been
15:23much much better than these other running backs so far this season, right?
15:26Swift averaging 22 and a half fantasy points per game. But look at the projections we now have for this Chicago Bears offense. Right now, the Bears
15:35project to be a worse offense than the Cleveland Browns this week. They project to be a worse offense than the Cincinnati Bengals. We already showed
15:42this on Poly Market US, but before the Caleb injury, they had something like a 70% chance of winning this game. And
15:49then after the Caleb injury, they're down to like 30%. It's a fundamentally different offense. I mean, even their quarterback, too, looks like they may
15:57miss. And DeAndre Swift is still splitting to some capacity with Kyle Manungai. So, I'm not super excited for you to go through and just jam in
16:08DeAndre. Now, Matthew Golden, you already started last night. At least hopefully you did. Moving over to Brock Bowers. So, here's the setup that we
16:17have for Bowers. Bowowers was limited in practice on Wednesday. He was limited in practice on Thursday and then he missed
16:27practice on Friday and they said this was the plan blah blah blah. So, I don't know what's going down. Hopefully, we
16:35get some more word um of what the role for Bowers is going to be this week on Saturday or Sunday morning. You
16:44definitely have to plan on playing him if you have him, but I have lowered expectations in comparison to where we did a couple days ago. Dalton Schultz
16:51looks like he is an absolute jam just like he was last week. Again, when you have no Nico Collins, they're just
16:56simply going to have to find the way to get the ball to somebody. And Dalton Schultz will be that somebody that is
17:03flooded with cheap cheap target volume.
17:06Now, DJ Moore did miss practice on Wednesday, did miss practice on Thursday, but DJ Moore did get in practice on Friday today. So, it sounds
17:18like DJ Moore is probably going to play.
17:20I don't know if he's going to be limited with this shoulder, which again is why I would prefer Dalton Concaid between the
17:26two of them here. But if I had DJ Moore, just given how good this offense is, I probably would still go through and play
17:33him. Now, moving over to our F tier, Jeremiah Love will be a running back that continues to uptrend in my rankings
17:43um until the very end of the season.
17:44Like I think Jeremiah Love in the second half of the year can very easily be a league winner, but again with all these
17:51rookies, we've been saying it for the first three weeks of the year, whether you drafted Carnell Tate, whether you drafted Jeremiah Love, you don't need to
17:57play them right away, you can always bench them, wait for the breakout, and then play them the week after, which is
18:03what I would try to continue to do here with Love, to be honest. Now, here with Sam Leaporta, this projects to be a very high-scoring
18:11game, right? There's like a 50 point overunder on this game. Leaporta has been getting consistent target volume through the first two weeks. So I think
18:19very much like if you're sitting with Trey McBride and Sam Leaporta, you probably should look to sell Leaporta to a team that needs a tight end. See if
18:26you can get a wide receiver upgrade. But if somehow you have both of these tight ends, you should definitely just go
18:32through and flex them. Jaren Price looks like he is going to be a okay and will be healthy for this game at Washington.
18:39Sounds like we will get Darnold back in here. The Seattle Seahawks are heavily favored where they should be able to run
18:45the ball in the second half. Now, Travis ETN is the running back two on my own team. This dude's a bum. I hate him. I
18:52hate that he's on my team. I hate that I traded for him. Obviously, that all goes without being said. Now, I will say he
19:00did miss practice earlier in the week where he was limited in practice with the hamstrings. So, that is going to be
19:04something to monitor. This is a good matchup though where the Saints are favored here over the Raiders at home.
19:13And if we are looking at what we have with Travis ETN, he could just walk himself into a touchdown, which is kind of best case
19:21scenario here if you have ETN like I do.
19:25Now, going over to Jameson Williams, I also have this dude has been so damn frustrating. Um, here's what I'm telling myself. I'm telling myself that if this
19:35Detroit Lions defense is really this bad, they're gonna have to throw the ball at Don in the second half. And I
19:40think Jameson Williams is still the same wide receiver he was last year, still the same wide receiver that he was the
19:45year before. I think he's still a very talented player and we just have to just wait for the big blowup week. So, I'm
19:52starting him. I'm not trading him away because I do think we are getting one of these random 25point games from him
19:58relatively soon.
20:01Now looking at Josh DS, Josh DS is a very tough matchup this week having to play against the Houston Texans. But the
20:09benefit that you get is you have no Alec Pierce. So Josh D is probably just going to get flooded with targets, right? It's
20:17a tough matchup again, but the offense projects to still score 20 points, which is a little bit surprising to me. Now
20:24going over to Trevon Henderson. If I had to start a running back here in New England, I would go Henderson. But I
20:30would rather wait a couple more weeks and see if we actually end up getting things changing here with how this backfield splits their touches between
20:40Hendo and Readadre before you fully commit to putting one in your lineup.
20:44Um, Debo Samuel, you can 100% consider given all the injuries that we have in San Francisco and the fact that the
20:51Niners project to be a top three offense in the league. Now, with that in mind, if we were to get Mike Evans missing
20:58this game, then Debo Samuel skyrockets up these ranks. DK Metaf getting a ton of target volume. I have to play against
21:05him this week. I'm really hoping that he does nothing. Um, but if he just holds on to the ball, the fantasy points will
21:11be much, much better than they have been. Devon Vele is in a spot in which the Saints offense continue to um prove
21:20over and over again they're viable.
21:22They're projecting out to be an above average offense right now. You have no Jordan Tyson, so Devon Veil is the second option here and he 100% has
21:31earned the rise and he is startable. Now going to Rashad Baitman. Rashad Baitman I told a bunch of people to bench in
21:41week two. It was an absolute horrendous call, but I will say I do think he is still a boom bust flex option. I'm not
21:49necessarily viewing him as somebody that is an absolute jam here regardless.
21:56Now, going over to Adani Mitchell, um a 480 Mitchell, you do have to monitor. I think he has a thumb injury, but it's the best matchup
22:06and best setup possible going up against a very bad Detroit Lions defense while at the same time
22:15like you have no Omar Cooper and again the rookie tight end with Kenyan Sadi's not doing anything. So the fact of the
22:23matter is I think you're in a pretty good spot for Adonai Mitchell situationally even if I don't love the player. Travis Kelce, you can absolutely
22:32jam. Like Kelsey, I have no idea how he continues to do this at what does he turn 37 years old later this year.
22:40Arguably the best tight end of all time, and he probably is. Incredible. And this matchup's one in which they don't have
22:49to throw the ball against Miami, but they didn't have to throw the ball week one. And Kelsey still came out with 71
22:55receiving yards. Now, Denzel Boston at 66 is trending towards being an every week starter. We've had a young rookie breakout here that obviously had
23:04pedigree coming into the NFL draft. My only hesitation with it, of course, is the fact that he is a Cleveland Browns. So, I do want
23:12to be a little hesitant. I'm afraid that the bottom may fall out from the Browns.
23:17And then Trey Tucker will be your other flexworthy name. Very similar to some of these other guys that we'd be looking
23:22at, right? I do think that Denzel Boston you could see a boom bust name. I I think with Trey Tucker could be very
23:31boom bust, but regardless they're flexorthies just because of the roles that they have in their offense. Now going over to the
23:40H tier, Tyler Warren does have himself a tough matchup against Houston. Typically Tyler Warren would be a little bit higher in these ranks for me. Michael
23:48Wilson has cemented himself as the wide receiver one in um Arizona over Marvin Harrison. Raandre Stevenson again I would rather bench both New England
23:58Patriots running backs. Blake Cororm premium handcuff if you were to get an injury to Kairen Corm wins you league.
24:07Tony Pard has only scored six fantasy points per game so far this season. But in this setup here specifically, like who knows, the Tennessee Titans may be
24:15able to win this game and run the ball in the second half. Uh George KD working himself back from this torn
24:21Achilles once he is 100% given the fact that this team has no weapons. KD could be an absolute monster. Stefon Diggs has
24:28been a monster so far this year, but it's a really tough matchup that you have going up against the Seattle Seahawks defense, which I believe the
24:35Seattle Seahawks have given up the fewest amount of points to opposing wide receivers all season now. while at the same time the Washington Commanders
24:46project to score 16 1.5 points this week. So they project to be the worst offense in the league which is why again
24:52Stefon Diggs, Terry McLaren will be below these waiverwire wide receivers for me like Adenai Mitchell Denzel Boston. Um Terren Ferguson you can 100%
25:01look at starting with no Puka Nua. I think most of y'all probably have him at tight end but he's even potentially flex
25:08worthy. Same thing with Mark Andrews and Jose Flowers and then JK Dobbins, RJ Harvey. It's a tough matchup against the Rams. I'd rather not start either one,
25:16but it's funny that in the Waverwire video, we thought that all of a sudden we were actually going to be seeing
25:24Jonah Coleman be the only healthy running back here in Denver and it's completely flipped. Now, going over to these other names, these are names that
25:30you kind of have to have on your bench.
25:31Um, unless obviously it's the tight ends. You play Isaiah likely a tight end. Romeo Dobs needs to be on your bench though. Chris Godwin needs to be
25:38on your bench. Brian Thomas on your bench. Cardell Tate on your bench.
25:42Tucker Craft, if you played him, you played him. Jawan Johnson, you can play him at tight end. Don't flex him. Jaka
25:47Crossit on your bench. Rashad White on your bench. And then the Jtier, Luther Burton, horrendous play this week. For the love of God, do not start Luther
25:56Burton. He's on your bench. Um Jake Furry can play him at tight end, not the flex. Same thing. Fannon Roma Dunce,
26:02horrendous play. Do not play him this week. Tough matchup. No quarterback.
26:05We're assuming Z Flowers misses. Xavier Worthy can't play him. Cleo Shakir can't play him. Quinton Johnson can't play him. Jordan Addison, no. Jacobe, no.
26:13Hunter Henry, no. And Coloulston Loveland, no as well. But I really appreciate you. Hope I was able to help you out in some way with this. And of
