0:00Let's go ahead and submit those week eight starting lineups. Now, I will say ton of buys this week, so it's going to
0:04be a little bit tougher. I did wait until after the Wednesday practice report so I could give you the most up-to-date information with this though.
0:11Now, starting with the guys that you know they're in your lineup, you're starting Puka, you're starting JSN, you're starting Jamar, CD Lamb, and
0:19Amanra St. Brown. I'm not even going to waste your time talking about these guys. The only thing that's worth mentioning is Amanrad did not practice
0:26on Wednesday, but they already told us earlier in the week that Amanra really shouldn't be expected to practice this week dealing with an ankle, but he will
0:34be good to go for the game. So, zero hesitation. He is inside your starting lineup. Now, going over to the B tier,
0:40these are other wide receiver ones that you should be starting in every league.
0:44Um, Drake London obviously has been significantly better now that you have Michael Pennix back in this offense and the Atlanta Falcons should be able to
0:52move the ball down the field against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Not super super concerning. Z Flowers is in an incredible setup with Lamar Jackson
1:01coming back. This game's being played in Buffalo. This projects to be the highest scoring game of the week rest of season.
1:10Now going over to Justin Jefferson. I personally have Jefferson on my own fantasy team. I am hoping that he crushes this week. I desperately need
1:20him to. It's a phenomenal matchup against the Detroit Lions. The problem's going to be that the Minnesota Vikings haven't been able to effectively throw
1:29the ball down the field so far this season with Kyler Murray. And typically, we see teams against the Vikings project out to score like 24 25 total points.
1:39And the implied team total is pretty low here actually for Minnesota. though that is something that does concern me a bit
1:46given I think the matchup should be the best one he's going to get on paper. Now going to Parker Washington. The problem
1:54that you would have playing against the Indianapolis Colts here for Washington is this game is just going to be such a
1:59shootout. It wouldn't be the biggest surprise in the world if you find the Jacksonville Jaguars just running the ball over and over and over again. Now
2:08with T. Higgins, obviously we can see that he has been incredible as of late, but similar to what we have with maybe
2:16the concerns of Parker Washington, this could very easily be a setup in which they are just running the ball in the
2:23second half. They're 10 and a half point favorites here against the Tennessee Titans. And we know the Titans are going to have a very difficult time putting
2:30points on the board. Now moving to Christian Watson and Tedoya McMillan.
2:36This is the matchup that I am honestly most interested in, at least the game.
2:41This is going to be the Thursday night game and I personally am playing Christian Watson in my lineup this week and I'm going to be going up against
2:49Tedoa McMillan. I think that both guys are an absolute smash spots. The overunder of this game right now is about 47 and a half. So, it should be
2:59highscoring. And the big thing that I do want to point out here is that we actually have Matthew Golden missing practice pretty much all week. Matthew
3:08Golden is questionable for this game. If he were to miss, then all of a sudden I'm moving Christian Watson up my
3:15rankings dramatically. Christian Watson would probably be up there at the very top of Btier. But I think the expectation should be as it stands right
3:23now that Golden does indeed end up playing. And if you wanted to check out what the markets had with this game
3:30right now on the Poly Market app, you have a 65% chance that the Green Bay Packers going to win this. The spread of
3:36this three and a half points, the overunder 47 and a half. And if we go over to the player props, we have a 41%
3:42chance of Christian Watson scoring a touchdown in comparison to a 34% chance of Tedoya McMillan. So, I very much need that Watson touchdown. And obviously, if
3:52you want to check out any of those markets, you can find the link to the Poly Market app in the description
3:57comment section live chat. If you sign up with promo code Flock, you are going to get $25 out of your account after you
4:03deposit your first 10. It is available in every state outside of Nevada. Now, moving to the C tier, we will be led off
4:11with George Pickins. The Dallas Cowboys project score the most points in the NFL this week at 30 and a half. Now,
4:19obviously, we've seen an incredibly high ceiling for Pickkins every week, but he will have a little bit of a lower floor
4:24in comparison to some of these other names just because the target volume isn't as consistent for Pickkins as we see with the other players. Now, Jaylen
4:33Coker also very similar to McMillan. I do think that we should expect a Carolina Panthers offensive bounceback here. And again, the matchup against the
4:43Green Bay Packers is one that I am personally not super concerned with.
4:47Moving to Garrett Wilson. Garrett Wilson's actually been rumored in a lot of trade conversations maybe he's going over to be a San Francisco 49er, but as
4:58it stands, um, he's playing with Gino Smith and he for the first time ever actually has some real target competition where you are having to see
5:07him go up against Omar Cooper who has been proven to be a pretty damn good wide receiver at this point. AJ Brown
5:14has been horrible. I personally would really like to trade for AJ Brown on my own fantasy team. I have actually sent
5:23offers for AJ Brown because I personally think that he will be better going into the future. He looks too slow. He looks
5:31too big. Um but I think a lot of the lack of explosion that you have from him has been due to him coming off a high
5:39ankle sprain. Um that maybe he rushed back a little bit too early. This is This should be a very good offense here
5:50for the New England Patriots in a pretty good spot against Miami. Obviously, spread being seven points. You can make an argument that this will be a team
5:57that's going to be able to just go out there and um run the ball in the second half, but what we have typically seen
6:03with Drake May is Drake May is going to run it up against bad teams. So, I'm excited about this with AJ Brown coming
6:10off 10 days rest. Now obviously we have Matthew Golden a little bit lower than usual. Like typically him and Christian Watson over the past few weeks have been
6:18very close. But the problem that we are going to have with making that the case here is Matthew Golden missed practice on
6:28Monday, missed practice on Tuesday.
6:29There is a small possibility that if he is active on Thursday that he is at risk to be a decoy here for the Green Bay
6:38Packers. I think that that risk is low enough where I would still say he is way too good to be on your bench and this is
6:45a player that would absolutely have to be in your starting lineup. But yeah, obviously it's not the easiest spot in the world with him missing practice. And
6:54I know Michael Wilson has been disappointing. I completely get that.
6:58But this game against the Dallas Cowboys is the best game environment you can possibly find this week. Right now, the overunder is 54 1.5 points. While this
7:09Arizona Cardinals offense has either given points to Trey McBride or given no fantasy points at all, they haven't looked great. The setup that we have
7:18against Dallas couldn't be better with the Cowboys having arguably the worst defense in the NFL. So, if you have Michael Wilson where he's averaging
7:27about nine and a half targets per game, for the love of God, please make sure that he is in your starting lineup. Now,
7:34moving over to our Dtier, Rasheed Rice did practice on Wednesday, so my current expectations are going to be that Rasheed Rice should be playing this
7:44week. Now, is that a guarantee? Of course, that's not going to be a guarantee here, but if Rice does end up
7:51playing, I will say it's not the best matchup in the world having to go up against Denver, but this Chiefs team
7:58desperately needs help at wide receiver where clearly we can tell that I mean, Xavier Worthy isn't getting the job done. DJ Moore is sounding like he has a
8:08good chance of being back coming out of the buy as well. So with this, I would say that um you probably got to put them
8:16in your lineup. Like if Rashi Rice, if DJ Moore are back this week, you're taking on a little additional risk putting them in your lineup coming off
8:24of injuries. But again, specifically for that Buffalo Bills, Baltimore Ravens matchup should be one of the highest scoring games of the
8:33week. If it's not Dallas, Arizona, very easily could turn into a shootout. And with all the by-weeks that you have this
8:40week, I don't know if you're going to have the ability to not just jam in DJ Moore. You're going to have to play DK
8:48Medaf as well. I don't like the matchup here for Medaf playing against the Cleveland Browns. Should be a lowercing game environment in general, but the
8:56benefit that you get with me is obviously you have no Michael Pitman and you have no Roman Wilson. There have been a lot of trade rumors about the
9:06Pittsburgh Steelers going out there and trading for an additional wide receiver, but that's not going to happen before this game. Luther Burton obviously has
9:15not had a ton of target volume, but he has looked incredible from a perarget perspective. He has looked like one of
9:21the best wide receivers from a perarget perspective in the NFL, but he's not drawing a ton of volume, which is going
9:27to lower his floor. And if you don't have a really strong setup in terms of the overall Chicago Bears points scored,
9:35I think you need to be concerned to a certain extent, especially in this spot against Seattle where the Chicago Bears are projecting to score only 21 and a
9:45half points this week. So should be a tough matchup. Lower scoring offense than normal. And while you have the ceiling with burden for the big plays,
9:53the target volume doesn't give him any type of floor. Stefon Diggs very easily could rise in these rankings. Diggs did not practice on Wednesday. We were told
10:03that Diggs should be practicing in full on Thursday, though. Now, if that happens, again, I will be moving Diggs up my ranks. Now, moving to the E tier,
10:14these are the players that you can begin to consider benching. you can consider benching Cardell Tate because the Tennessee Titans offense continues to
10:23struggle with Cam Ward under center and it doesn't look like it's getting that much better going into the future. But this should be a team where they do need
10:31to go out there and throw the ball quite often because they are 10 and a half point dogs in Cincinnati. So maybe you
10:37get some garbage time Carnell Tate points. Abuka is somebody that you can consider benching. Right now on my team, I am planning on starting him in a spot
10:47where the Bucks project out as a pretty good offense here against the Atlanta Falcons. This is the best projection we've had for Tampa. I mean, since the
10:56beginning of the season. Thank god Baker Mayfield is back, but I dealing with a concussion and a foot injury. He did
11:04practice on Wednesday, but Todd BS said that he is going to have to improve going into Thursday and Friday for him
11:11to play. But I am very much hoping that he will play. Now, moving to Jameson Williams. I personally am also starting
11:19Jameson Williams this week. I absolutely loved what we had last week where they just peppered him with targets. They pretended like Sam Laaporta wasn't even
11:29in the offense. They were throwing it to JMO. He had two touchdowns and then they gave him two additional targets in the
11:36red zone. They were doing everything they could to try to get Jameson Williams to three touchdowns last week, but very similar to Luther Burton.
11:44Again, the volume isn't exactly consistent. So, I think the floor is pretty low and this is a really tough matchup that you have against the
11:53Minnesota Vikings. So, if you're in a shallower format, I would definitely consider benching them. Given my league's a little bit of a deeper
11:58league, I'm dealing with injuries as well as I'm dealing with buys. I personally will have Jameson Williams in my starting lineup. Now going over to
12:08Trey Tucker. Trey Tucker I am playing against this week and honestly at this point I think that he is in flex
12:14consideration every week. You have a very high ceiling, a very low floor.
12:18Like realistically he has had three games with more than 20 fantasy points this year but he has had four games with
12:26fewer than nine. But over the past four weeks, the target volume has definitely improved for Tucker. And I honestly thought it was going to get worse. I
12:34thought the target volume was going to go down given the context of Brock Bowers coming into this offense. But maybe this is opposing defenses having
12:42to give Brock Bowers a ton of credit. I don't love the matchup playing against the New York Jets, though, because it
12:48should just be a lowercing matchup in general. It's not going to be a spot where the Raiders are having to throw
12:53the ball a ridiculous amount in the second half to try to keep up like they did last week. Now Casey Conception all
12:59of a sudden does look like he is a player that you can put in your lineup.
13:03Now if we are looking at the setup that we have at Pittsburgh, this game projects to be the lowest scoring game
13:10of the week and I want to say that this offense projects to only outscore the Philadelphia Eagles. So while Conpion looks like a very talented player, he
13:20looks like based off the volume that he's probably the wide receiver one here. I don't know if you're going to be
13:25able to trust him enough to get him in your lineup. Jeremy Bernard also in this same nasty game environment. Bernard was
13:33a big- time let down in Paris last week where the man only had five targets, three receptions, 27 receiving yards, but we still have two pretty strong
13:41games from him. I don't think he's the same level talent that you have with Conception. And I also do think that you
13:47have a little bit more target competition with DK Mechaf in comparison to Denzel Boston. So, I would choose Conception over Bernard, but they are
13:57close. Same tier. Jaylen Wadd did not practice on Wednesday. So, with Jaylen Wadd not practicing on Wednesday, there is a very clear path to him missing this
14:07game against the Kansas City Chiefs. And then at that point, you probably don't start a single Denver Bronco. Literally, you wouldn't start a single one. Now,
14:15Malik Washington, if we are looking at the underlying target volume coming out of the by-week, it was a significant falloff where he
14:25only had three targets against the New York Jets last week. You obviously have rookie wide receivers such as Caleb Douglas as well as Chris Bell where you
14:34would expect that they are the guys to expand their roles in this offense as time goes on. As of now though, Malik
14:40Washington has had the consistent usage as the wide receiver one here. So, that's who I would rank. But just in general, obviously, it's not a good
14:50offense, so I wouldn't be that excited about it regardless. Now, moving to Lad Man, our last guy. Um, Lad Mcconkey averaging seven and a half fantasy
14:58points per game because he has yet to be able to play a game fully this year.
15:03Every time he goes in, he immediately comes out. He is the Saquon Barkley of wide receivers. And this is a very bad
15:12offense as well being played in Los Angeles. The Chargers project to be a borderline bottom five offense in the league this week. So I'm going to be a
15:20little bit lower on Lad as well. Now moving to what we have with our F tier.
15:29Omar Cooper is now all of a sudden in the playable range for you. If Garrett Wilson gets traded, I think Omar Cooper
15:37can turn in to a leaguewinning name.
15:41Like, I am so damn excited for the basketball teams I have drafted him on.
15:45But in terms of trusting him inside your starting lineup right now, where I think a lot of y'all, if you're playing in a
15:51deeper format and you have buys this week, you probably will need to. At the same time, I don't want to act like it's
15:58something that you should be excited about because he projects to be the wide receiver too for Gino Smith.
16:06And the wide receiver two for Gino Smith is not going to be a consistent player just because he had two good weeks.
16:13Jacobe Meyers at this point is interesting because of course it looks like Brian Thomas Jr. has officially been benched. Sounds like Brian Thomas
16:22Jr. is going to get traded. you're going to run into a similar problem with Jacobe that you have with Parker Washington and that there is a chance
16:31that this is a team that is just running the ball consistently in the second half. Now, Denzel Boston, I know obviously has been pretty damn good for
16:40fantasy purposes. He's averaging 11 fantasy points per game, but back-to-back weeks with fewer than six points scored. And the main problem is
16:48the target volume just isn't there. He's only averaging six targets per game.
16:52Whereas if we look at Casey Conception, Casey Conception's at about six and a half. One of them's declining, one of them's going in the right direction. And
17:01I don't know if I want the wide receiver too for the worst game environment we are going to find in the NFL this week where again
17:10this should be a very very lowcoring game. Now, Khalil Shakir is going to be in a shootout and Khalil Shakir would
17:18rise of course under the scenario in which DJ Moore does not play. I don't think we have DJ Moore playing for 100%
17:26certainty just yet, but we are going to rank it as if that will be the case.
17:31Keenan Allen as it stands right now, you could consider starting. You have Josh DS with the rumor trade. We don't know
17:39if Tyler Warren's going to play just yet. They have no reason to rush Tyler Warren back at this point. This is a
17:44tanking team. So Keenan may get some cheap reception volume if you have no Tyler Warren. If Tyler Warren plays, then at that point you probably don't
17:54start a single player here at the wide receiver position for the Colts.
18:00Kendrick Bourne. Honestly, this is just too good of a game environment to not give him a shout. Like the target volume
18:06has been there since Marvin Harrison's been graded. And at the same time, this offense currently projects to be in the highest scoring game of the week where
18:15it couldn't be a full-blown shootout between them and the Dallas Cowboys.
18:19Roma has not had the production of Luther Burton this year. And at the same time, this is a garbage matchup. So, I
18:27think Rome is going to be a boom bust wide receiver. He has had two games this year with double-digit fantasy points.
18:34He has had one, two, three, four, five games with fewer than eight. And I don't know if the matchup you want to be
18:40starting him in is one where he has to play in Seattle where we just saw the Seattle defense just absolutely embarrassed the Kansas City Chiefs.
18:48Jordan Addison you could potentially look at. It's a good matchup against Detroit, but this passing offense is garbage. And when you've had Jefferson
18:55in the game, they just don't throw the ball to Jordan Addison.
19:00Josh DS you can potentially look at in the scenario in which you do not have Tyler Borin. And then Mai Limmon you
19:08could potentially look at in the scenario in which you do not have Devont Smith, but the Philadelphia Eagles currently project to be the worst
19:15offense in the NFL this week playing at Washington. Um, again, I will update these rankings once we get Devont Smith ruled out. Then at that point, Mai Lemon
19:23would rise because he definitely showed some flashes against Dallas. But it's a much much different spot here than when you get to play against the Dallas
19:31Cowboys DST. Now, moving over to our Gtier, Chris Godwin is gonna be unusable for me. Godwin has not had a single game
19:40with double-digit fantasy points unless Agbuka were to get ruled out. If Agbuka gets ruled out, then at that point, you are going to move Godwin up inside the F
19:50tier. Now, Ryan Florenoi is also going to be somebody that you can entertain as an option as well, knowing that he is in
19:58that super highscoring game environment that we just talked about with somebody like Kendrick Bourne. Now, super low floor cuz the majority of stuff's going
20:06to be getting funneled through the three main guys in this offense with Lam Javvante as well as Pickkins. Jacobe Lane is now finally in these rankings.
20:16We've just been waiting for Lamar Jackson to come back, but with Lamar back this week, Jacobe Lane may be the wide receiver too in Baltimore and what
20:23should be a shootout. Um, Deario Douglas potentially you could look at, we are actually going to need to add Caleb Douglas now that we are thinking about
20:32the Douglas names. Um, Caleb Douglas is going to be in this G tier just like Deario. He only had three targets last
20:38week and he plays for the Miami Dolphins. I typically don't want to start him. Juan Del Robinson at this point has just given you absolutely
20:45nothing. I mean, this dude's averaging 8.8 fantasy points per game. He's the wide receiver, 52. And the Tennessee Titans project to be horrible as they
20:54always do. Xavier, tough matchup. Rashi Rice back. He's not usable. Courtland Sutton will rise if Jaylen Wadd gets ruled out. Keon Coleman will rise as
21:04well if you end up losing DJ Moore, but I expect DJ Moore to be playing. But I think that's all I got
21:11for you. I really appreciate you. I hope I was able to help you out with this video in some way. I'm going to be
21:16dropping our updated running back rankings tomorrow, our QB tight end DST rankings tomorrow on this channel as well. And then on Friday, I'm going to
21:24be uploading our updated flex rankings as we continue to get more news regarding the NFL trade deadline as well as injuries. So, please just make sure

21:39year. But much love. I really appreciate you and I hope I get to see you out in the live stream later
