A.J. Brown

NegativeInjury21:06

A.J. Brown is currently sidelined with a high ankle sprain, which has forced the Patriots to adjust their offensive personnel and receiver rotation.

Insight page

Aaron Jones

NegativeUsage28:56

Aaron Jones looked strong with 25 carries, but his future value is threatened by a potential shift to a committee backfield once Jordan Mason returns after the bye in week seven.

Insight page

Alvin Kamara

NegativeUsage26:02

Alvin Kamara is failing to provide RB2 production and is currently dealing with a back injury, making him difficult to trust in a three-man committee.

Insight page

Bijan Robinson

PositiveUsage4:58

Bijan Robinson remains a top-two fantasy player with consistent usage, recording 24 total opportunities (17 carries, 7 targets) in his latest outing. He is considered a benchmark for elite fantasy production.

Insight page

Braelon Allen

PositiveUsage24:43

Braelon Allen is a clear, must-start option when Breece Hall is sidelined; he demonstrated his workload capacity by playing over 90% of snaps in his most recent outing.

Insight page

Breece Hall

PositiveValue9:18

Tyler Huntley suggests Breece Hall as a logical trade target to acquire, noting that he remains the starting running back in a productive offense.

Insight page

Caleb Douglas

NegativeDepth Chart12:52

Caleb Douglas is expected to return to the lineup, which will introduce more target competition for other receivers in the Miami offense.

Insight page

Carnell Tate

NegativeUsage7:03

Despite receiving five targets, Carnell Tate failed to produce fantasy value, largely due to the overall poor performance of the Titans' offense.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveValue13:28

Tyler Huntley views Chase Brown as a 'buy low' candidate after he recorded 17 total opportunities (13 carries, 4 targets) in a high-powered offense. Despite a disappointing seven-point fantasy performance and Samaje Perine's goal-line usage, Huntley advises against overreacting and plans to hold him for the rest of the season.

Insight page

Chris Bell

PositiveBreakout12:45

Tyler Huntley expects rookie Chris Bell to improve as the season progresses, potentially impacting target distribution in the Miami offense.

Insight page

Chris Olave

NegativeUsage27:44

Chris Olave commanded 50% of the Saints' passing offense with six targets, but his production was limited to 46 yards due to the strength of the Vikings' defense.

Insight page

Christian McCaffrey

NegativeUsage44:11

Christian McCaffrey scored a rushing touchdown but his usage has declined, with only 14 total opportunities in his recent game; he is still ranked as a top-10 back but is not currently the elite producer he has been in the past.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveProjection31:59

Christian Watson is a high-priority target with favorable upcoming matchups against the Dallas Cowboys and Detroit Lions. He could be a borderline top-five wide receiver over the next two weeks.

CJ Donaldson

NegativeUsage26:52

C.J. Donaldson played 19 snaps and served as the primary third-down back for the Saints.

Insight page

D'Andre Swift

PositiveUsage29:33

Despite the Bears' offensive collapse, D'Andre Swift remains a must-start running back for next week, provided Khalil Mungai is out.

Insight page

Dallas Goedert

PositiveUsage8:24

Tyler Huntley notes that Dallas Goedert is playable again after returning from injury, citing his nine targets and the team's reliance on tight end check-downs.

Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

NegativeMatchup10:42

Dalton Kincaid is a key component of Tyler Huntley's current fantasy matchup, with a 33% implied probability of scoring a touchdown; he must avoid being outscored by Davante Adams by 12 points to secure a win.

Insight page

Darius Cooper

NegativeUsage8:02

Tyler Huntley advises against playing Darius Cooper next week, noting he only received three targets despite his recent touchdown.

Insight page

David Montgomery

NegativeInjury6:12

Tyler Huntley reports that David Montgomery is injured and expected to miss time, advising fantasy managers to remove him from their rankings.

Insight page

Deebo Samuel

NegativeInjury45:22

Deebo Samuel suffered a lower-body injury that is expected to keep him sidelined for a while.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

PositiveDepth Chart24:10

Dinzel Boston is trending toward being a clear fantasy start in the Browns' offense if Casey Conception is ruled out for the upcoming game.

Insight page

Deshaun Watson

NegativeBust23:46

Deshaun Watson is viewed as a sell candidate and a poor fantasy asset following his performance struggles and multiple Achilles injuries.

Insight page

Drake London

PositiveValue2:30

Drake London is an absolute beast and a strong WR1 option when the Falcons offense is working; he is a recommended pivot target from Zay Flowers. His value remains stable, though his outlook is contingent on Michael Penix's health.

Insight page

Drake Maye

PositiveBreakout19:17

Drake Maye has posted back-to-back weeks as the overall QB1 in fantasy football. He recently went 'nuclear' with 374 passing yards, four passing touchdowns, and a rushing touchdown against the Raiders. Despite early-season struggles and a shoulder injury, he is now a locked-in weekly starter regardless of matchup.

Insight page

Emanuel Wilson

PositiveSleeper45:53

Emanuel Wilson is considered an absolute jam and a startable fantasy option until Zach Charbonnet returns to the lineup.

Insight page

Garrett Wilson

PositiveUsage25:08

Garrett Wilson is a locked-in starter who commanded 11 targets in his most recent game.

Insight page

George Kittle

PositiveProjection44:54

George Kittle remains a top-five tight end and receives a bump in fantasy rankings following the injury to Deebo Samuel, which may lead to increased usage.

Insight page

Isaiah Likely

PositiveUsage61:46

Isaiah Likely is a smash start after recording 13 targets in the recent game, mirroring the high-volume usage seen by Malik Nabers in the Giants' offense.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeProjection62:18

J.K. Dobbins is a touchdown-dependent fantasy option with a low floor (5 points without a score) and no significant role as a receiver, making him unstartable.

Insight page

Ja'Marr Chase

PositiveUsage15:09

Ja'Marr Chase remains a top-three fantasy receiver after a phenomenal day featuring 10 targets. Tyler Huntley emphasizes that his elite status is unchanged.

Insight page

Jahmyr Gibbs

PositiveProjection42:56

Jahmyr Gibbs is currently the number one player in fantasy, averaging over 30 points per game, and is a must-start.

Insight page

Jalen Brooks

NegativeUsage42:11

Jaylen Brooks saw a high volume of routes in the recent game, though he remains a player of low interest for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Jameis Winston

PositiveUsage59:03

Jameis Winston looked like his vintage self, recording 60 dropbacks in an overtime game; his high passing volume makes his primary pass-catchers, Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, high-upside fantasy assets.

Insight page

Jameson Williams

NegativeUsage43:32

Jameson Williams is a viable starter in 12-team double flex formats, but in 10-team single flex leagues, he is merely a bye-week fill-in.

Insight page

Jayden Daniels

PositiveProjection32:58

Jayden Daniels has returned to top-10 quarterback status in fantasy. Despite an elbow injury, he showed willingness to run and take contact, recording over 100 rushing yards and multiple rushing touchdowns.

Insight page

Jaylen Warren

NegativeProjection17:28

Jaylen Warren has been a top-10 RB over the last three weeks, fueled by a 90%+ snap share. However, his fantasy value is expected to regress to a high-end RB2 once Rico Dowdle returns to the lineup.

Insight page

Jeremiyah Love

PositiveProjection42:01

Jeremiah Love is viewed as a player who will be a good running back in the second half of the season, currently ranked as a low-end RB2 playable based on matchup and format.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

NegativeProjection15:53

Despite a disappointing performance with 19 total opportunities (15 carries, 3 receptions), Jonathan Taylor is still viewed as a mid-RB1. The lack of rushing touchdowns is noted as a temporary variance issue rather than a long-term concern.

Insight page

Josh Downs

PositiveRole17:13

Josh Downs may not be startable when Keenan Allen is active. Downs' high target volume from two weeks ago was contingent on Allen's absence, as Allen saw nine targets compared to Downs' six in their recent game.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

PositiveProjection4:37

Justin Jefferson is returning from injury and is being integrated back into fantasy lineups, with Tyler Huntley noting a significant improvement in his team's scoring projection upon Jefferson's return.

Insight page

Keaton Mitchell

NegativeUsage65:52

Keaton Mitchell is involved in the Chargers' running back rotation, which is currently not producing startable fantasy players.

Insight page

Kendre Miller

NegativeUsage25:18

Kendre Miller sustained an injury during the game; he served as the early-down back while C.J. Donaldson handled third downs.

Insight page

Kenneth Gainwell

NegativeUsage22:44

Kenneth Gainwell remains a must-start running back when active, though his efficiency has been poor. There is hope he rests to get to 100% health to avoid further dud performances.

Insight page

Kimani Vidal

NegativeUsage65:43

Kimani Vidal is part of a Chargers running back rotation that currently offers no startable fantasy assets.

Insight page

Kyler Murray

NegativeProjection28:56

Kyler Murray should be started in favorable matchups but avoided in difficult ones.

Insight page

Luther Burden

PositiveUsage30:01

Luther Burden led the team in receiving and recorded six targets, showing notable involvement in the offense.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveBreakout59:13

Malik Nabers is fully back and looks incredible, potentially ranking ahead of elite WRs like Nico Collins and Drake London; he is a smash start as long as Jameis Winston maintains this passing volume.

Insight page

Malik Washington

NegativeUsage12:42

Malik Washington saw eight targets in his recent game, though his future target share may be impacted by the development of teammates like Chris Bell and the return of Caleb Douglas.

Insight page

Marquez Valdes-Scantling

NegativeDepth Chart40:37

Marquez Valdes-Scantling is projected to be the Chargers' WR1 next week, though he remains a low-end fantasy option ranked around WR45.

Insight page

Marvin Harrison Jr.

NegativeDepth Chart4:54

Marvin Harrison Jr. has been traded to the Houston Texans for a second-round draft pick. Tyler Huntley notes this is a positive change of scenery but warns that Harrison has been 'horrific' and failed to generate separation this season, moving him up to a WR4 ranking while advising managers to bench him until he proves otherwise.

Insight page

Michael Penix Jr.

NegativeInjury3:25

Michael Penix sustained an injury during the game; his availability is critical for the functionality of the Falcons' offense and the fantasy value of Drake London.

Insight page

Michael Wilson

PositiveProjection40:57

Michael Wilson is considered a must-start player; he was ranked as a WR12 for the week and is expected to continue producing.

Insight page

Mike Evans

PositiveProjection44:44

Mike Evans looked phenomenal and is fully healthy, leading to a rise in his fantasy rankings; he receives an additional bump following the injury news regarding Deebo Samuel.

Insight page

Nico Collins

PositiveValue2:30

Nico Collins is a viable pivot target for managers moving off Zay Flowers. Tyler Huntley maintains that the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. to the Texans does not negatively impact Collins, as he remains the team's alpha receiver.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon II

NegativeRole12:21

Ollie Gordon is identified as the only startable player in the Miami offense, though he faces a touchdown-or-bust outlook as the lead back in a struggling unit.

Insight page

Parker Washington

PositiveBreakout9:30

Tyler Huntley labels Parker Washington an 'alpha' and a locked-in top-10 wide receiver for the rest of the season following a nine-target, two-touchdown performance, supported by 39 pass attempts from Trevor Lawrence.

Insight page

Raheim Sanders

PositiveSleeper24:25

Raheem Sanders is a priority waiver wire target and the primary running back to pick up for fantasy managers.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

PositiveUsage21:41

With TreVeyon Henderson injured, Rhamondre Stevenson is a must-start running back due to the massive volume he is expected to receive in the Patriots' offense.

Insight page

Romeo Doubs

PositiveUsage30:01

Romeo Doubs saw a considerable amount of target volume in the recent game.

Insight page

Samaje Perine

NegativeUsage13:26

Samaje Perine split backfield work with 14 carries and notably handled goal-line duties, including a receiving touchdown, over Chase Brown. This usage occurred in a game that was not close, negatively impacting Chase Brown's fantasy output.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

PositiveUsage34:13

Stefon Diggs is considered startable with Jayden Daniels under center, particularly once he and Terry McLaurin are back to full health.

Insight page

T.J. Hockenson

NegativeInjury29:09

T.J. Hockenson suffered a concussion early in the game, making him uninteresting for fantasy purposes if Jordan Addison is healthy.

Insight page

Tee Higgins

PositiveValue15:13

Tee Higgins is considered a buy-low candidate. He likely should not have played in the recent game, but the upcoming bye week will allow him to return fully rested.

Insight page

Terry McLaurin

PositiveUsage34:13

Terry McLaurin is expected to be startable alongside Stefon Diggs once fully recovered from his injury, especially with Jayden Daniels under center.

Insight page

Tony Pollard

NegativeUsage6:50

Tony Pollard remains the clear lead back for the Titans, recording 14 carries compared to two for Tyjae Spears, but Tyler Huntley advises against starting him due to the team's poor offensive performance.

Insight page

Tre Harris

NegativeBust34:50

Trey Harris should not be started in standard leagues as he lacks the pedigree and proven NFL production to justify a roster spot. Despite showing potential for involvement before his injury, he is on a struggling Chargers offense that is currently not startable for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

PositiveUsage32:50

Tucker Kraft is considered startable after recording five targets in the recent game.

Insight page

Tyler Huntley

NegativeProjection0:40

Tyler Huntley is not a viable fantasy starter; his presence under center requires lowering expectations for Ravens skill players, as his only relevance is his ability to provide points to Derrick Henry and Zay Flowers.

Insight page

Tyler Warren

PositiveUsage16:48

Tyler Warren is seeing significant receiving volume, evidenced by nine targets and 83 yards in the most recent game, along with goal-line usage.

Insight page

Tyrone Tracy

NegativeUsage60:45

Tyrone Tracy Jr. is part of a running back committee that lacks fantasy appeal, compounded by ball security issues that limit his reliability.

Insight page

Wan'Dale Robinson

NegativeUsage7:13

Wan'Dale Robinson led the team in receiving, though Tyler Huntley notes the overall Titans offense remains a unit to avoid for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Woody Marks

PositiveProjection6:21

With David Montgomery injured, Tyler Huntley projects Woody Marks as a top-24 running back and advises moving him up in rankings.

Insight page

Xavier Hutchinson

NegativeUsage6:02

Tyler Huntley expects Xavier Hutchinson to lose targets following the trade for Marvin Harrison Jr.

Insight page

Zach Charbonnet

NegativeRole46:04

Zach Charbonnet is expected to return to a committee role initially, though he is projected to take over the backfield in the long run.

Insight page

Zay Flowers

NegativeProjection0:40

Zay Flowers remains a top-10 wide receiver, but his fantasy outlook must be reset following the Lamar Jackson injury; Tyler Huntley suggests considering pivots to players like Drake London or Nico Collins.

Episode Transcript

447
0:00I'm going to be honest, this felt like a phenomenal day in fantasy football.
0:04Maybe it's because I scored the most points in my league or it looks like I'm going to. I'm going to win $5,000. We're
0:10going to take it to a local animal shelter and give it to them. So, I'm freaking pumped about that. But, also we
0:18didn't have that many injuries. We had a ton of incredible performances and it feels like over the past month I've been
0:25just crying non-stop about injuries and duds that we don't have to deal with right now. But, let's go game by game
0:31starting with the Baltimore Ravens Atlanta Falcons game that we just watched. So, here you had no Lamar Jackson. Obviously, that's going to
0:40change things. Tyler Huntley, you're never starting him in fantasy. The only thing that's relevant about Huntley is can he provide enough points to Derrick
0:49Henry and Zay Flowers. Now, Derrick Henry has 24 carries. Derrick Henry has two targets including the receiving touchdown. Henry didn't do much at the
0:59beginning of this game. It really was fueled a bunch especially with the rushing volume of the trip to overtime that this game had. But, regardless we
1:09clearly saw that you lower your expectations a bit with Tyler Huntley under center in comparison to Lamar Jackson. But, Derrick Henry still a
1:17low-end RB1 with Huntley. And then with Zay Flowers, he actually could have had a bigger day in the box score. He had
1:23eight receptions for 53 receiving yards.
1:25Had like 13 fantasy points, 14 fantasy points. But, one of the big catches he had um they actually accepted a defensive pass interference play to save
1:34a couple seconds off the clock. So, in the box score it's not showing up exactly how big of a day he did. But,
1:40again like Zay Flowers for me, I know we talked about this in the sell high video. I think with the Lamar injury you
1:45have to reset expectations. I know we mentioned like hey he's still a top 10 wide receiver in my rankings. He's still
1:50incredible. But, if you could pivot over to like a Drake London, if you could pivot over to like a Nico Collins, um
1:56that would be a little interesting for me, but obviously, not much changes. Derrick Henry, Zay Flowers still absolute smashes. Maybe we get Lamar Jackson back
2:05this next week. Now, going over to the Atlanta Falcons, Michael Penix gets banged up in this game. We end up seeing
2:11Tua come in in overtime. I'm sitting there in the Flock League live stream thinking that Tua is about to do something, and the man throws the worst
2:19meatball sub I've ever seen.
2:21Overtime, you're supposed to be driving down. He drops back to pass, no pressure at all in his face, and he throws it
2:29straight to the defender. Literally, right in his like if he was trying to throw it to Drake London, he threw it 10 ft too short.
2:38Horrific. So, you better hope that Michael Penix is starting next week for the sake of Drake London, but London, obviously, nothing's changed. He is
2:48still an absolute beast. 11 targets out of 34 potential targets you could have had in this offense. So, we know he's
2:53going to have like a 33% team target share. He's going to be a wide receiver one when this offense is functional. So,
2:58you're hoping Penix will be the QB. And then going over to Bijan Robinson, nothing really changes here. Bijan had 17 carries, 86 rushing yards. He had
3:08seven targets as well. So, he had 24 total opportunities. Doesn't score a touchdown in this game, but we know he's still a top two player in fantasy
3:16football. And then Brian Robinson, we talked about it last week. He's very much just Tyler Allgeier from last year.
3:22He's a premium handcuff running back that will randomly have usable weeks, but there's no way in hell you could ever put him in your lineup. I know we
3:29had like Rome in the Flock League put Brian Robinson in his lineup this week.
3:33Don't fall for the random touchdowns.
3:35It's not going to work out for you. He scores 1.6 fantasy points in this game.
3:40And yeah, again, he's just going to be the premium handcuff to Bijan, but big thing for Atlanta is making sure Penix
3:46is going to be good to go. Now, let's move over to the Tennessee Titans Houston Texans game. So, here the Titans
3:52offense markets had the Titans as the worst offense in the NFL coming into this week. They projected only score about 14
4:02fantasy points, which obviously, if we can look at an offense projected out to be the worst offense in the NFL, it's a
4:08pretty easy spot to avoid all of them.
4:10Can board, you're obviously not starting. Tony Pollard is still clearly the guy here in this backfield. He had 14 carries in comparison to Spears had
4:20two, but you're not starting him. The offense isn't good enough.
4:23Here, Carnell Tate has five targets. He doesn't get there. Again, he had a big, big week last week. He's an incredible
4:31player, but the offense is horrific.
4:33Wan'Dale Robinson leads the team in receiving. I have Wan'Dale on my team.
4:37I'm going to have Justin Jefferson on by next week. There's a world in which I have to consider putting him in, but you
4:41do not want to start any of these Tennessee Titans unless you are in massive desperation mode with your buys and injuries. Then going over to the
4:50Houston side.
4:51The big storyline, there are actually two of them.
4:54Um one, we know that Marvin Harrison Jr.
4:59is getting traded to the Houston Texans.
5:02The cost is about a second-round NFL draft pick, which to be honest with y'all, I thought that Marv would have cost a little bit less.
5:12I didn't know the Texans were going to have to spend that kind of draft capital on him, but nevertheless, with this,
5:20you have to assume it boosts the offense overall a little bit. Now, obviously, I'm not going to sit here and say like
5:26Marvin Harrison is some incredible talent that everybody thought he was coming out of Ohio State. Like Marvin Harrison has not generated separation.
5:33Marvin Harrison has been horrific so far this season. But the change in scenery can only be a good thing for Marv. Marv
5:40can't be worse than he was. So, I think before the trade, I had Marvin Harrison ranked at about wide receiver 57. He is
5:47going to slide up in my rankings, but he's going to be more so like a wide receiver four. And he's still going to
5:53be somebody that you bench every single week until you see otherwise. I don't think this negatively impacts Nico Collins because Nico's still the alpha.
6:02What it's going to do is it's going to take away the targets from like Xavier Hutchinson. He's just going to play the
6:07Jayden Higgins role of what you thought Jayden Higgins was going to do. And then looking at the running backs, David Montgomery gets injured. Sounds like
6:15from what I can tell right now, David Montgomery is going to be missing some time. And with no Montgomery, Woody Marks will project out as a top 24 RB.
6:24So, nuke Montgomery in your rankings, move Woody Marks up dramatically. We'll talk about Woody Marks more in the waiver wire video that will come out on
6:31Tuesday. And we'll also talk more about Marvin Harrison in our rest of season wide receiver rankings video that will come out tomorrow morning. So, please
6:38just make sure you are subscribed to the channel.
6:41And you won't miss that. Now, we probably should have led off with what we have for the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars. Obviously,
6:48this was the game super early in the morning. Funny enough, markets had the Eagles projected out score 17 points as one of the worst offenses in the league.
6:58That's exactly what happened. They scored 17. Jalen Hurts does not look usable.
7:04Is it his fault? Uh, probably not. The Eagles have no offensive line left.
7:09And on top of this, they have no Devonta Smith in this game, right? So, I don't think you blame Jalen Hurts for the fact
7:15that he's now a QB2 in fantasy. Going over to the running back position, we're going to have to talk about Damien
7:20Pierce a ton in the waiver wire video, but if Will Shipley and Saquon Barkley are both going to miss this next week,
7:26like Damien Pierce will be in play for you.
7:31Like realistically, I'm not going to sit here and say that he's some week-winning running back cuz the problem is this Eagles offense is
7:41horrific. So, Damien Pierce may be like Tony Pollard in a way to be completely honest, but Pierce will project out as
7:48the starter if Shipley misses this next week with Saquon Barkley. And my team, I definitely need help at running back. I
7:54just started Alvin Kamara at running back, too, with my Travis Etienne injury. So, I will be most likely placing a waiver wire claim for Pierce.
8:02Um Darius Cooper, big touchdown, obviously super exciting. If you picked up Darius Cooper after his big week last week and you played him right now, I'm
8:11incredible. I don't know how you did that, but definitely don't play him next week. He only had three targets. Really, the only pass catcher I'd feel
8:17comfortable playing here in Philadelphia, obviously DeVonta Smith when he comes back. But, on top of that, Dallas Goedert had nine targets, and you
8:25just have a ton of tight end check-downs since this offense doesn't have the ability to wait for um things to develop
8:31deep downfield. So, Goedert looks playable yet again coming back from this injury. Now, going over to the Jacksonville Jaguars side, Trevor
8:39Lawrence remains quarterback. Don't need to discuss it. Beasha Tuiton, here he is getting squeezed for touches. Laquon Allen again gets some work as a
8:48receiver. He has two targets. Chris Rodriguez also has a few carries, as well. So, Beasha Tuiton doesn't have a massive role as a receiver.
8:58Um but he's the lead running back in a good offense. So, you got to play Beasha Tuiton every single week.
9:07I know obviously we had him as a sell-high candidate a few weeks ago. I think two weeks ago or so.
9:12And he realistically is only averaging like 10, 11 points per game. But, so I I'll stand by like if you could sell
9:18Beasha Tuiton and maybe move over and get to like Breece Hall, I think it'd make sense. But, if you got him, you play him. He's the
9:28starting running back in a good offense.
9:30And then Parker Washington is just a freaking alpha.
9:33Nine targets.
9:35Now, yes, Lawrence threw the ball 39 times, but two touchdowns, one of the touchdowns was so damn impressive. Like, as soon as Parker Washington had the
9:45second TD, I thought my odds of winning the $5,000 in the Flock League, I thought they were gone entirely. My team's been horrific over the past few
9:54weeks with my injuries. I was getting Justin Jefferson back this week. So, my team actually projected to score the second most points in the league coming
10:00into today. Um the team that was at number one was Avery. He has the Lawrence and Parker Washington stack.
10:06So, until until um before Drake Maye and Christian Watson popped off, once I saw that Parker Washington second touchdown, I was like, I have no chance
10:14at winning 5,000 this week as the highest scoring team in the league. Um now, I will say my team popped off. So,
10:20here's what we need to win um the $5,000, which I will be sweating out this on the Flock League live stream tomorrow night.
10:28Again, if I win the $5,000, I'm going to donate it to a local animal shelter here in Austin. What I'll probably do is I'll
10:36probably go to PetSmart, buy a ton of toys, buy a ton of food, whatever they need. I'll talk to them beforehand. But,
10:42looks like the matchups right now um I have 172 with Dalton Kincaid. He has 160 with Davante Adams. So, I can't have
10:52Adams outscore Kincaid by 12 or more points. Let me pull up the markets that we have for tomorrow night. This is the
10:59um Polymarket odds right now have the Rams at a 62% chance of winning. We go over to the player props for the PPR.
11:09Actually, looks like a lot of these markets are down right now. Do we have anytime touchdowns? We have Davante Adams with a 48% chance of scoring a
11:16touchdown and Kincaid with only a 33% chance. Realistically, we just can't have Adams score like two or more touchdowns or we're cooked. But,
11:23obviously, if you want to check out any of these markets, you can find the link to Polymarket US in the description, in
11:29the comment section, in the live chat.
11:30If you sign up with promo code Flock, you'll get $25 out of your account after you deposit your first 10. Available in
11:36every state outside of Nevada. But, Parker Washington locked and loaded top 10 wide receiver rest of season.
11:43Nobody else is startable other than Parker Washington based on Trevor Lawrence. Um I will say I think Brian Thomas had the funniest non-touchdown
11:51catch ever. He like caught the ball 5 ft in bounds and still wasn't able to get his two feet down. It was insane.
11:59Now, going over to the Miami versus Cincy game. Technically, the score of this was only a seven-point win by the Bengals, but it really wasn't a close
12:09football game, right? The Dolphins scored a bunch of points at the very end. Um Malik Willis looked really bad, whether you want to blame it on the fact
12:16he doesn't have any weapons, whether you want to blame it on the fact of the offensive line, blah blah blah. None of
12:20that matters. Malik Willis, you don't play him in fantasy. The only guy startable in Miami is Ollie Gordon. Now, Ollie Gordon doesn't have any receiving
12:29work in this game, which that's going to be the problem here is Ollie Gordon is shaping up to be the lead running back
12:35in Miami, but it's a touchdown or bust situation in one of the worst offenses in the league.
12:42So, Ollie's the only guy you could consider starting. Malik Washington gets eight targets, but again, the rookie Chris Bell's probably going to get better as
12:49time goes on. And once they get Caleb Douglas back in, there will be some target competition. Going over to Joe Burrow, I had to play against Joe Burrow
12:58this week in a six-point passing touchdown league, so. Um if my team didn't lay the hammer, it would have been a little scarier cuz Burrow has
13:04four passing touchdowns. Obviously, very weird game environment in which we didn't know if Ja'Marr Chase or Tee Higgins were going to be playing coming
13:12into this.
13:15Looking at the running back usage, this is the weirdest thing. Now, obviously, it's a game against the Miami Dolphins, and I know everybody in their mom is
13:27going to be spasming about this Samaje Perine 14 carries to Chase Brown with 13. And on top of this, Samaje Perine
13:35did have the receiving touchdown at the goal line.
13:39That is the big thing that Samaje Perine was in the goal line package instead of Chase Brown, which is a horrific sight.
13:49Here's my deal with it.
13:51Chase Brown had 13 carries and four targets. He had 17 opportunities and what is still a very good offense.
14:00So, it sucks that Samaje Perine got this usage in what wasn't really a close game.
14:06It sucks that Samaje Perine scored a touchdown and Chase Brown didn't.
14:12Just like Brian Robinson scored three rushing touchdowns last week, right?
14:18I would use this personally as a buy low opportunity for Chase Brown. I will send an offer right now live on this live
14:27stream to try to give you all a gauge of how I would be viewing Chase Brown rest of season after he just dropped seven total fantasy
14:37points. Like, let's see what I would like to do is I wonder what a Chase Brown to Jefferson pivot could upgrade
14:46me elsewhere.
14:47I'm a send something where I'm going from like Actually, never mind. Bush is not going to be able to do that cuz he just lost
14:56Quintez Cephus. We'll have to talk about Cephus in a second. But yeah, he lost Cephus and Shipley, so Yeah, never mind. Let me pass on trying
15:05to send him an offer right now cuz I can't send him Taylor. But we'll circle back around to that. Ja'Marr Chase gets
15:09the 10 targets. Ja'Marr Chase had a phenomenal receiving day.
15:13Ja'Marr was a top-three receiver before this. He's top-three receiver after this. This doesn't matter. Tee Higgins only had four targets.
15:19Deal with Higgins is he probably shouldn't have played this game. He's going to have the bye week next week, and then he's going to be coming out of
15:25the bye week fully rested. So, I think Higgins is also probably a buy low candidate in this offense as well.
15:32But, I don't think much changes here in Cincinnati. Maybe Chase Brown falls a spot or two in my rankings, but I don't
15:38want you to overreact and like completely spaz about this.
15:43Now, going over to the Indianapolis Colts Pittsburgh Steelers. Daniel Jones, he never start, now we're talking about him. Jonathan Taylor, disappointing spot. I had JT in my
15:54lineup. He had 19 total opportunities though. He had the 15 carries. He had the three receptions. What sucks with JT is we just haven't had the big rushing
16:04touchdowns like we saw last season, but just cuz they haven't come yet doesn't mean they're not going to come in the
16:09future. So, as somebody who has Jonathan Taylor, I'm not panicking here. I'm still viewing him as a mid running back one in fantasy. What we need is we need
16:17the Indianapolis Colts to win some football games in the future, and we need Jonathan Taylor to be able to play in a positive game environment where we
16:24can break off long runs. Let me go through and pull up what we have with the upcoming schedule for the Indianapolis Colts here.
16:32Um this next week they get the Tennessee Titans, which I absolutely love, but then we do have really tough spots against Minnesota in week seven and
16:40Jacksonville in week eight. So, those are not the most exciting, but at least this next week hopefully we can treat it as a get right spot for JT.
16:48Tyler Warren had the rushing touchdown at the goal line, which was frustrating beyond get out. They did give JT a couple carries that he just got stuffed
16:57at the goal line.
16:59Um but I'm not worried about JT's goal line usage going away. Tyler Warren had nine targets, 83 receiving yards. Tyler Warren's had a ton of receiving volume,
17:08and this is in a game in which Keenan Allen was back. Now, the big note here is Keenan Allen has nine targets in
17:14comparison to Josh Downs with six. If Keenan Allen's playing, Josh Downs may not be startable. Josh Downs may be somebody that you have to put on your
17:22bench. He's obviously Downs had a ton of target volume 2 weeks ago, but that was a game in which Keenan did not play in.
17:28Now, going over to the Pittsburgh Steelers, Jaylen Warren looks like the best player on this offense. Jaylen Warren 101 rushing yards and at the same
17:36time 87 receiving yards, both lead the team. He scores a touchdown on both ends.
17:42So, Jaylen Warren has been a top 10 running back every single week in the weekly rankings over the past three.
17:49But, that's been because he is playing 90 plus percent of the snaps every single week you have no Rico Dowdle. The
17:57problem that we may run into here is if Rico Dowdle comes back this next week, which he should. Right now, they are
18:05telling us that Dowdle was close to playing in this game.
18:08Do I expect this to be a 50-50 backfield split? Of course not. Jaylen Warren has proven he's probably significantly better than what Rico Dowdle is.
18:18But, do I expect Jaylen Warren to continue to see 90 plus percent of the snaps and 90 plus percent of the
18:24opportunities? No.
18:27Like, Warren instead of him being a locked and loaded set it and forget it top 10 running back every week, probably
18:32come back down to earth a bit. Will probably still be a high-end running back two, somebody you're starting every week regardless. You're just going to
18:39have to lower your expectations a little bit. Um with Pat Freiermuth, he scores a couple touchdowns. The big thing we're going to have to discuss on the waiver
18:48wire video is going to be the Jeremy Bernard pick up because obviously Pittman's already hit the IR. Then, you sprinkle on the fact that Roman Wilson
18:57just got injured. And Bernard, the guy they just took in the second round of the draft, had nine targets in comparison to Metcalf with four.
19:04Okay.
19:05Now, let's go over to the most exciting thing to me and the reason why I am probably going to win $5,000 this week
19:14and have the highest scoring team in the league again.
19:17Drake May goes nuclear.
19:20Drake May four passing touchdowns, 374 passing yards, the rushing touchdown on top of this and an absolute blowout
19:30where the Patriots beat the Raiders 45 to 17.
19:35Chef's kiss.
19:37Now, this isn't a one-week occurrence.
19:39Drake May last week also scored the most points in fantasy football at the quarterback position.
19:47This is now back-to-back weeks where Drake May has been the number one quarterback in fantasy.
19:53Now, I'm very biased.
19:55I have Drake May on my team and I'm I'm loving life that he's in my lineup.
20:04But, I want to make excuses for why he was so bad at the beginning of the season.
20:08Week one, really tough match-up against Seattle, right? We saw him fail miserably against the Seattle Seahawks in the Super Bowl.
20:16Week two against the Steelers, the Steelers can't move the ball down the field, the Patriots just run over and over and over again.
20:23Week three against the Jags, like keep in mind, I started Drake May all three of those weeks.
20:28I After the two duds, I was believing in the Drake May bounce back. I was still putting him in my lineup. I sent him out
20:34week three and said, "Hey, man, I trust you."
20:37And the Patriots got blown out by the Jacksonville Jaguars.
20:41Patriots scored three points. Drake May had more interceptions than touchdowns on the year.
20:46It's horrific.
20:47But, if I'm coming up with excuses, I can't come up with an excuse for the Jags game outside of maybe the shoulder
20:54injury Drake May was dealing with early in the season.
20:58Maybe it was a serious injury and maybe he's now just over it.
21:02Maybe it took him a little bit of time to gel with the new receivers. They obviously built this offense around A.J.
21:07Brown. Um A.J. Brown leaves with the high ankle sprain.
21:13He's then having to figure out, "Oh, okay, my receivers. We got like Romeo Dobbs instead of Kayshon Boutte now."
21:21I don't know. After back-to-back weeks of Drake Maye being the QB1 overall and the fact that we probably get A.J. Brown
21:27back in a few weeks here, I'm starting Drake Maye every week regardless of the matchup now. Maybe it's a boom-bust play, but there's no
21:36way I can put this dude back on my bench after I benched him last week for Bryce Young against the Lions.
21:41The running back usage, TreVeyon Henderson gets injured. So, when TreVeyon's out, that is going to make Rhamondre Stevenson a must-start running
21:49back.
21:50Do I think Rhamondre Stevenson's an incredible talent? No.
21:54But, I think Rhamondre Stevenson's going to get an insane amount of volume.
21:59Then going over to the receivers, they're spreading the ball out so much that each one of these guys are going to
22:06maybe have individual big weeks, but I don't know if you can trust any of them until A.J. Brown comes back.
22:14We'll talk about like Kyle Williams, Demario Douglas a little bit more with the waiver wire video.
22:20But, obviously Matt Collins on the IR, A.J. Brown out for the time being, I would understand why you'd want to look
22:25at them. Going over to the Raiders, they get absolutely blown out.
22:29You actually see Sam Darnold and Osa at the end of this game. I don't know if they made any official statements. My
22:35base expectation is Cousins is definitely starting next week.
22:38Maybe maybe I I'm an idiot. Maybe I'm wrong, but I'd be surprised if Cousins wasn't starting when they're three and two.
22:44Going over to the running back stuff, how Gainwell was active, and while he had 50 receiving yards and the three receptions,
22:54dude can't get anything going.
22:56I don't know how seriously injured he is.
22:59I would say Gainwell's probably still a must-start running back while he is good to go.
23:05But at this point you would maybe hope that they rest him a couple weeks, let him get to be 100% so you don't have to play him and he
23:16just duds in your lineup in comparison with the ceiling really is. Brock Bowers, obviously the elite tight end one.
23:24And then going over to what we have with the receivers, no wide receivers are interesting in Las Vegas.
23:33You play Gente, you play Bowers, you pray to God that Gente gets healthy, but nothing else to discuss.
23:39Going over to the Browns, obviously we had the Browns as big sell candidates on the sell high video just as the thought process, hey, Deshaun
23:48Watson's probably not good after he was the worst quarterback in the NFL and then tore his Achilles twice.
23:54Um Here Casey Conception gets injured.
24:00So maybe that opens up an opportunity for Isaiah Bonds.
24:04It doesn't. May- maybe I mentioned his name in the waiver wire video and to just remind y'all don't pick him up. Um
24:10Dinzel Boston's now looking more like a clear start though if Conception's going to miss.
24:17And then Quinshon Judkins was also seen with a boot after this game. I will talk about Raheem Sanders on the waiver wire
24:25video. It does seem like he is going to be the running back that you want to pick up. It will be an interesting note
24:32though on if we end up getting Dillon Sampson activated off the IR anytime soon because if he does, then it's probably a running back by committee in
24:40a Cleveland Browns offense I don't want to be excited for.
24:43Going over to the Jets, Braelon Allen was a very clear start this week just because the dude played 90 plus percent of the
24:51snaps last week. So he comes through and yet again he has all the work.
24:57So Bralon, if Breece misses next week, we'll see what the Jets project out as.
25:02I don't know if they're again, another reason Bralon was a big start is the Jets were favored in this game over the
25:06Browns.
25:08But, I would assume that Bralon is somebody that you just got to jam this next week as well. Garrett Wilson, you
25:13know you're going to jam him. He had 11 targets over under receiving yards and a receiving touchdown.
25:18And Kendre Miller did get a banged up in the game. But really, you only start whoever the starting running back is and
25:24Garrett Wilson for New York. You already know that.
25:26Now, let's move over to Justin Jefferson and the Saints offense. So, first we'll start with the Saints. Taysom Hill shock and blowed
25:34is this a Taysom Hill shock problem?
25:38Yeah, I'm going to be honest. I don't think Taysom Hill shock's the best quarterback in the NFL.
25:42But, it's primarily you have to go up against maybe the best defense in the league or a top three defense with the
25:47Minnesota Vikings, right?
25:49Like markets had the Saints as one of the worst offensive plays in the league this week.
25:55So, I don't think it's that big of a surprise.
26:02But, with the running back usage, this is probably the worst thing for me. I started Kamara thinking that he could give me running back two production and
26:11obviously it's not cutting it. Let me see if I can pull up the exact snaps that we had between Kamara, Miller, and
26:19Donaldson.
26:25Because Miller ended up scoring the touchdown. I also have Miller on my bench.
26:35I need to figure out if I am cutting blah blah blah. This is a chart from PFF.
26:42So, it looks like Alvin Kamara played 12 plays, C.J. Donaldson played 19, Kendre Miller played 14. The big note is C.J.
26:52Donaldson had everything on third down.
26:56So, it looked like Miller was the goal line running back. Miller was the early down running back. CJ Donaldson was the
27:03third down running back. And Kamara was god knows what, injured with a back injury.
27:09So, I need to find a different play at running back two this week myself until ETN comes back.
27:16But, looks like maybe a three-man running back by committee for the Saints and you can't start anybody.
27:24Going to the receivers, Chris Olave has six targets. Here's the deal with Olave, you can't blame him for what just happens. He had 46 receiving yards out
27:33of 96 total passing yards.
27:36He had almost 50% of the passing offense here in New Orleans. So, this was just very much a one weird off where the
27:43lesson to take away is the Minnesota Vikings have a great defense. Don't play guys against them. And then also, if you're planning on starting a Saints
27:53running back, look elsewhere.
27:55Now, going over to the Vikings side of things, this was the first game that we got from Kyler and Jefferson playing
28:02together throughout the entire thing.
28:04Jefferson had one of the best touchdown catches all year.
28:09Absolutely love to see it. You had no Jordan Addison in this game and Hockenson got knocked out immediately.
28:16So, very weird in the distribution of targets here. Aaron Jones, obviously, has 25 carries. He looks really good.
28:24Has the rushing touchdown as well. And he had three targets. But, the problem that you're going to get with Aaron Jones is Jordan Mason will probably be
28:32back in week seven after the bye. And this is going to turn into a running back by committee. And while Aaron Jones
28:39alongside Jaylen Warren have been top 12 running backs must start names every single week.
28:48Well, Jaylen Warren, I think he's going to remain a must-start running back once you get Rico Dowdle back in.
28:54I don't think that same thing's going to happen with Aaron Jones. I would expect going into the future, it's a running
28:59back by committee here.
29:01Jefferson, locked and loaded, top 10 wide receiver, you jam. Kyler, you play him in good match-ups, avoid him in bad match-ups.
29:09And then, if Addison's good to go, I don't think Hockenson's going to be interesting.
29:15Obviously, this Gavin Berfole the mule, blah blah blah. I've never heard of this dude before. He was only filling in for
29:21the Hockenson concussion that Hockenson suffered um immediately.
29:25Now, going over to the Bears-Packers, so Chicago looked terrific.
29:32Horrible.
29:33Once Monangai got ruled out, I thought De'Andre Swift may have been a top five running back.
29:38And it just frankly didn't matter how much of this backfield Swift was going to get. The offense collapsed. It was just a runaway freight train by the
29:47Green Bay Packers here.
29:49De'Andre Swift will be a must-start running back next week though if you have no Khalil Mungai. Um big thing is, it's tough to take anything away from
29:56this when you had Case Keenum for half the game, you had Tyson Bagent for half the game, and we're probably getting
30:01Caleb back next week. So, um Romeo Doubs had a considerable amount of target volume. Luther Burden had six targets as well, led the team in
30:10receiving.
30:11The only thing that I'm willing to take away in terms of like, "Hey, this dude is just probably unstoppable." I'm literally now looking at
30:20Colston Loveland in comparison to guys like Hunter Henry.
30:25Colston Loveland in comparison to guys like Dalton Schultz.
30:32I'm like, "Damn, could you put Loveland ahead of him?" Like, please let me know in the chat right now.
30:38If you have Colston Loveland, next week, are you starting Colston Loveland or are you starting a waiver wire tight ends?
30:47Loveland or waiver wire, please let me know.
30:53Loveland or waiver wire.
31:01Yeah, we got most people on the waiver wire.
31:08I think you can't cut Loveland. He's still somebody that you need a roster.
31:14Just cuz maybe Caleb comes in, maybe he fixes this.
31:19But yeah, like Loveland's looks like he just maybe straight up cooked.
31:27Cooked cooked. Like Loveland's like the new Kyle Pitts essentially.
31:35Going over to the Packers, Jordan Love balled. Marshawn Lloyd had two rushing touchdowns, but Marshawn Lloyd did not look good in this game. Don't play
31:43Marshawn Lloyd going into the future unless you're like incredibly desperate.
31:48Like me as an example, if it's like, "Oh, Marshawn Lloyd versus Alvin Kamara." I may have to think about something there.
31:54Then going over to the receivers, Christian Watson, Matthew Golden, Go Ham. And here's the deal with this Packers team.
32:02Like y'all know I love Christian Watson.
32:04Y'all know how much we've talked about him so far this season.
32:07And I know we've said this a thousand bajillion times and you're rolling your eyes and you're annoyed, but I'm really excited about it. We are going to get to
32:15win 5,000 this week in the Flock League.
32:17We're going to get to donate that to the Austin Animal Shelter, so I'm freaking pumped. Christian Watson's a big reason for that. And looking ahead to the
32:26matchups, week six, Christian Watson and the Green Bay Packers play the Dallas Cowboys.
32:33Week seven, they play the Detroit Lions.
32:36There's a chance this dude's a borderline top five wide receiver in my rankings over the next two weeks.
32:42I absolutely love to see it. Love, love, love to see it.
32:49Okay.
32:50And then Kraft does get five targets.
32:52Kraft is startable as well.
32:54Now, going over to the Commanders. So, I This isn't just a regular NFL talking show, right? Where I know the main
33:03conversation in this game is the decision or the lack of decision to um spike the ball, kick the field goal
33:13at the very end of the game.
33:18By Jayden Daniels.
33:20I'll be honest. Obviously, it's silly.
33:23Obviously, it was a horrible call. It makes literally zero difference for fantasy football. It doesn't matter in the slightest. What matters for me with
33:30Jayden Daniels is I didn't know how much he was going to be running with this elbow injury and with this brace on.
33:36But, the man was running like crazy. And he was willing to take on contact as well.
33:45So, like Jayden Daniels looks like he has yet again back to being a top 10 quarterback in fantasy. Over 100 rushing
33:52yards and multiple rushing touchdowns as well.
33:57Jacory Cross Kamara gets the rushing touchdown, but he's not going to get anything as a receiver. So, he's a boomer bust touchdown player where the
34:06floor is five points and the ceiling's 14. So, I would rather not start any of the running backs in this backfield. A
34:13Terry McLaurin obviously injured coming into this game. I think probably both Terry and Diggs will be startable with Daniels under center.
34:25Like, Daniels looked good, especially once we get Diggs and Terry back in.
34:30Now, one thing that I do want to point out here, I'm going to be real brief with this.
34:35Antonio Williams. I have noticed a trend in fantasy football as of late with people for whatever reason trying to get cute with it and trying to play wide
34:46receivers that have never proven to really be anything at the NFL level, that don't have pedigree or at least a ton of pedigree either
34:57and trying to get cute when they don't need to be.
35:00Like if you played Antonio Williams this week, if you played Trey Harris this week it's obviously different if you're playing salary cap DFS and you're like,
35:09"Hey, I got to find a dumpster waiver wire wide receiver just to fit my lineup just to get the salary." But if you're in
35:18like a 10-team league don't get cute with it.
35:23Don't be playing like Antonio Williams, Trey Harris. I had a zillion questions in our live stream this morning about those guys. Um again, you can play them
35:33after or like the reason you would have played Antonio Williams is if both Terry and Diggs were going to be out.
35:43Now, going over to the Giants the worst call of the week by far by me was me saying, "I don't think James has it."
35:53I think this situation's going to be really ugly and I'm worried about the injury stuff with Malik Neighbors. Sell high from Neighbors, see if you can
36:00pivot over to Nico Collins, see if you can pivot over to Drake London.
36:04Neighbors looks like he is back. James looked like vintage James in this game.
36:09We got 60 dropbacks from James Winston.
36:15Now, obviously all these numbers are inflated. It goes to overtime. 60 dropbacks from wins, but it doesn't matter. 20 targets is 20 targets.
36:23Neighbors hell, he may be ahead of Nico Collins at this point. He may be ahead of Drake London.
36:30I'm going to have to redo our rankings and look at that for the video that's going to drop tomorrow morning.
36:38But, Neighbors looks like he is uh fully back, looks incredible.
36:45Scat fumbles at the very end. That doesn't matter as much as this is still being a running back by committee where
36:52none of these RBs are super super enticing. Like Tyron Tracy had ball security problems, too, I believe.
37:00Um I doesn't show up in the box score that Tracy lost the fumble, but I'm almost certain that he did.
37:06And then yeah, Isaiah Likely 13 targets as well. Very similar to Neighbors.
37:10Obviously, 60 dropbacks, game that goes to overtime, numbers are going to be a little bit inflated. But, 13 targets is 13 targets.
37:19So, both Neighbors and Likely look like absolute smashes as long as James can hold on to the starting job from McCarthy and keep up this type of
37:29passing volume.
37:32Now, what game do we need to discuss next? The Denver Broncos Los Angeles Chargers.
37:38So, Bo Nix has 123 passing yards in this game. Dobbins gets you the rushing touchdown. Is Dobbins still not startable? He's the same as Justice Hill
37:45and Gus Edwards. Cool if he scores a rushing touchdown, he'll have 13 points.
37:49If he doesn't score a rushing touchdown, he'll have five. He's not going to give you like big plays.
37:56He's not going to have any work as a receiver. So, Dobbins, decent game, but not interested in starting him going into the future, not
38:04interested in starting Bo Nix, passing volume's not there. And to be honest with you, I may not be interested in starting Jaylen Waddle, either.
38:12Like this is a large sample now of Jaylen Waddle being just not I mean, he's technically the wide receiver he had five targets technically the wide
38:24receiver one but he's not an alpha in this offense right now they're spreading the ball out to so many different players.
38:31Again the leading target owner Waddell five targets out of 27 total Bo Nix pass attempts.
38:42So I would say the only guy that I'm starting in Denver would be Waddell and he is a borderline flex play.
38:53Okay.
38:55Now going to the Los Angeles Chargers Justin Herbert if he's not already on your waiver wire send him there right now. Again you can come up with a ton of
39:03excuses whether you want to blame the head coach the offensive coordinator the offensive line the fact that all the receivers are injured blah blah blah run
39:09through the entire list. This is one of the worst offenses in the leagues.
39:13Like obviously there are offenses coming into the season people knew they were going to be bad. Like Tennessee Titans New York Jets Cleveland Browns Miami
39:21Dolphins. People knew those offenses were going to be bad. There were offenses that people thought were going to be bad that are decent like the
39:28Arizona Cardinals and then there are two offenses that people thought were going to be good that you need a reset expectations and understand they're not
39:36just bad they suck.
39:39Chargers suck Eagles suck.
39:43Herbert send him to the waiver wire the running back usage here Amari and Hampton has 14 carries but Kamani Vidal's out there
39:52Keaton Mitchell is as well like he gets 14 out of 28 total.
39:59And the big problem with Damarion Hampton is he's getting absolutely nothing as a receiver.
40:05So nobody is startable here in Los Angeles.
40:11Like you know people were asking a ton about Trey Harris this morning and Trey Harris did look like he was going to be
40:16heavily involved before he got injured.
40:18But the big thing with Trey Harris this morning is like, hey the Chargers are garbage. Why would you want to start an
40:23unproven player for the Chargers?
40:26It'd be different if this was the Chargers offense people thought it was going to be coming into this season. But again, you need to reset expectations
40:33that nobody's startable here in Los Angeles.
40:37Marvin I mean, Marquez Valdes-Scantling's going to be the wide receiver one this next week. And he's probably going to be ranked at like wide
40:43receiver 45 for me.
40:46Okay.
40:47Now going to the Arizona Cardinals offense, this was the matchup of the week. We have Jacoby Brissett three passing touchdowns. What's a big
40:57surprise here is while you knew Brissett was going to crush, I also thought Michael Wilson was going to crush. We had Michael Wilson ranked
41:04at like wide receiver 12 this week. This game had an over/under of like 54 points. It actually went over. It went
41:11to 66 points scored in this game. But um the running back usage it's tough to read into because this team had to
41:20abandon the run immediately. Detroit scored 24 points in the second quarter.
41:26The entire second half is just garbage time. I mean, you ended up having 50 plus Jacoby dropbacks and you had 16
41:33total carries that weren't Jacoby Brissett. So, the usage looks really tough for the running backs here.
41:41I still think Jeremiah Love's going to be a good running back in the second half of the season. Going over to the
41:47receiving options, Kendrick Bourne led the team in receiving yards, but Jaylen Brooks actually had a ton of routes here as well. Realistically, I think Trey
41:57McBride and Michael Wilson will be your must-start names for now. Jeremiah Love probably needs to be ranked as a low-end RB2, playable based on matchup, team,
42:07and format.
42:10And yeah, there are a bunch of other miscellaneous wide receivers here like Bourne, like Brooks that I'm not really interested in.
42:21Now, I mean, is the person I played against in the Flock League this week, Azupha, started Kendrick Bourne. And it was smart for him to start Kendrick
42:29Bourne. Kendrick, if anybody played Kendrick Bourne this week, because the Cardinals projected to score so many points against the Lions here. Like,
42:37Kendrick Bourne was probably a better play than Trey Harris, to be honest.
42:40Um I think you made a good call probably playing him this week, but I'm not super excited about Kendrick Bourne in future
42:46matchups.
42:48Now, going to Detroit's, we had three passing TDs here from Goff. The garbage Jahmyr Gibbs touchdown at the very end.
42:57Like, Jahmyr Gibbs just the number one player in fantasy. It's not even close.
43:00He's averaging over 30 fantasy points per game right now. But, it's pretty simple. This Lions defense is garbage.
43:06This Lions offense is elite. You start Goff. You start Gibbs. You start LaPorta.
43:12You start St. Brown. And how I'm starting Jamo cuz I play in a 12-team double flex format. If you're like in a
43:1810-team single flex league, Jamo would be more like a bye week fill-in where you send up a prayer that you get a big
43:23touchdown like we got this week. But, we already know the Lions are great. Going to the Niners, Niners end up taking down
43:32the Seahawks here.
43:34This was the first game in which the Niners were projecting out pretty poorly on the offensive side of the ball just
43:41given the fact that this Seattle defense is elite. Purdy still has himself an okay fantasy day, definitely much worse than what he has been. Christian
43:51McCaffrey gives you the rushing touchdown, but McCaffrey's usage is still nothing like what it was before.
43:59Like, Christian McCaffrey had 14 total opportunities in this game.
44:04Mike Evans looked phenomenal from the very jump, from the very beginning of the game. George Kittle, like he doesn't really score many fantasy points.
44:12Hell, he had six targets. It was just a tough match-up, so. I think San Fran, I am still probably I'm sorry, this mosquito
44:28flying here.
44:30Ooh, I just got that mosquito. Perfect.
44:32Um still ranking McCaffrey as a top 10 running back, but again, he's just not the true elite Gibbs Bijan-level player that we're used to McCaffrey in the past
44:42being.
44:44Mike Evans is moving up my rankings.
44:47Now that he's fully healthy, dude looks like an absolute beast. And George Kittle is still a top five tight end.
44:52Deebo Samuel gets injured, so if anything with the Deebo injury, I think that Kittle may get a bump in the future.
44:59But the Kittle injury looked pretty serious. Like I honestly thought he got like knocked out with a concussion. Cuz he was just
45:08laying laid out face in the grass like not moving. I thought he was like absolutely destroyed
45:21and like knocked out night-night mode.
45:24And instead it's like a lower body injury that's
45:37probably going to keep Deebo out a while. So, I think you got to bump Evans, you got to bump Kittle as well.
45:44Now, going to the Seattle Seahawks.
45:49DeeJay Dallas had like the worst fumble ever.
45:53I would be surprised if DeeJay Dallas ever sees the field again. Emanuel Wilson is going to be an absolute jam until we get Zach Charbonnet back. And
46:04even when Charbonnet is back, it's probably going to be a committee at first. Charbonnet's going to take over in the long run, but it's going to take
46:09a while. JSN remains an elite wide receiver. So, yeah, JSN startable, Emanuel Wilson startable. Long run, we'll get Sharbs, but obviously nothing right now. And then we
46:21already talked about the Baltimore-Atlanta game, so I think we'll probably call the live stream here. I need to go through and
46:28update all my rankings on the site, but I absolutely loved today. I had one hell of a day. I am super excited. My team is
46:36back, and we are getting healthy, and we look damn good again.
46:40Um So, I'm excited. Felt like we didn't have a ton of injuries in fantasy today.
46:45We had the Deebo injury. We had the Judkins injury, the Montgomery, the Henderson, but like no big injuries to any stars
46:53like what we had with the Devon Achane injury um previously, so I feel like this is a pretty good setup
47:05for us to roll into what should be a phenomenal game tomorrow night, where I will be rooting for Dalton Kincaid.
47:13Again, for me to win the 5K, I need Dalton Kincaid to not be outscored by Davante Adams by 12 fantasy points. So,
47:24which I think I got a good chance, probably like a 75%, 80% chance of that happening.
47:31But, much love, ladies and gentlemen. I really appreciate you. Um I will say on the Flock League YouTube channel, we just dropped a video as well, where I
47:40did the Milk Miles, Zuff did the Milk Miles. So, um if you want to see that, search the Flock League on YouTube. It's
47:45already uploaded and public. But, yeah, much love. I hope you had a phenomenal Sunday. I hope you won your week, and I
47:51hope I get to see you out in the live stream tomorrow night, or with the videos we'll upload on the channel
47:57tomorrow as well.
