0:00tight end and quarterback may be a
0:01little bit tougher this week with the
0:03injuries and buys. Starting off with the
0:06S tier, it's very simple. If you have
0:08Josh Allen, you play Josh Allen. Dude is
0:10averaging 28 fantasy points per game at
0:13the moment. And every single time I see
0:15his face, I hate myself for not drafting
0:17him. Now, going over to the A tier, we
0:20are going to be led off with Dak
0:22Prescott. Dak Prescott's going to be
0:24playing in tonight's game. Now, maybe
0:27the concern that you would have here is
0:29the Dallas Cowboys are going to get to
0:30such a large lead early that they are
0:33kind of just going to be able to shut
0:34down and run the ball in the second
0:36half. But with that being said, they do
0:38project to score 28 and a half points.
0:40So, you kind of just got to play him
0:42regardless. Similar setup that you have
0:44with Jared Goff. Jared Goff's also
0:46averaging about 21 and a half points per
0:48game. These guys are pretty much
0:49identical. They're in offenses that are
0:51going to score the ball like crazy while
0:54at the same time. They're not going to
0:56run. And the concern that you would
0:58potentially have is them running the
1:00ball in this second half with Gibbs and
1:03Javvante. And then the last quarterback
1:05in this here is going to be Matthew
1:07Stafford. Same exact boat that we have
1:09with Goff and Dak Prescott. Stafford
1:12hasn't given you the same level of
1:14consistency that we've seen with the
1:16other two. But as it stands right now,
1:19this Buffalo Bills and Los Angeles Rams
1:21game has an overunder of about 54 a.5
1:24points, almost 55 points. This game here
1:28should be the highest scoring game on
1:30the week. I don't think it's going to be
1:31that close either. So anybody that you
1:34have in it, you just have to absolutely
1:37jam. Now moving over to the B tier, we
1:40will be let off with Jacobe Brassette.
1:41Brassett's kind of in a similar boat,
1:43right? He's going to be in that super
1:45high-scoring Arizona Cardinals Detroit
1:47Lions game. This game also has an
1:50overunder of 54 a half. This Detroit
1:54Lions defense has given up the most of
1:56points to opposing quarterbacks so far
1:58this season. So very easy spot to just
2:00play Brassette. Now Joe Burrow here I am
2:03ranking under the assumption that Jamar
2:05Chase plays. Jamar Chase got in limited
2:08practice on Thursday. I think the
2:10expectation will be that Jamar Chase
2:13gets in a full practice on Friday. He
2:16ends up playing, which absolutely screws
2:18me. I'm going up against Jamar. I'm
2:20going up against Burrow this week. Now,
2:22obviously, if Chase as well as Higgins
2:25were both to miss, then in that case,
2:27Burrow would fall down these rankings.
2:29Now, Brock Party typically is going to
2:31be much higher than this. Brock Pery has
2:34been averaging 25 fantasy points per
2:37game. Now, we did call him a sell eye
2:39candidate after week three after he
2:40dropped 31. But regardless, even with
2:44this being a worst matchup for him
2:46against the Denver Broncos last week,
2:48his worst game that he's played all
2:50season is 19.6 fantasy points scored.
2:54Now, I will say this is going to be a
2:57little bit of a different game
2:58environment than what we've had so far
3:00this year, and that's because the NerS
3:04are actually dogs in this game. This
3:06game's going to be played in Seattle
3:08where you actually do have the Seattle
3:10Seahawks as three-point favorites. We
3:12have yet to really have to see the
3:14Niners play as dogs so far this season.
3:17Um, if we pull this up on Poly Market
3:19US, you'll see the Seahawks have a 62%
3:22chance of winning this game. Going over
3:24and looking at the player props that we
3:26have for some of these options, Brock
3:27Party is currently sitting with a 44%
3:30chance of scoring 20 or more fantasy
3:33points. So, they're saying he's most
3:34likely not going to hit it. Obviously,
3:36we'll talk about George KD in just one
3:38second. KD's going to be a beast
3:39regardless. Now, if you wanted to check
3:41out any of those markets, you can find
3:43the link to Poly Market US in the
3:45description as well as the comment
3:47section. If you sign up with promo code
3:49Flock, you're going to get $25 added to
3:51your account after you deposit your
3:53first 10. Available in every state
3:55outside of Nevada. Now, going over to
3:58Drake May. Drake May is the quarterback
4:01that I am starting this week. And I'm
4:03going to be completely honest with you,
4:04nobody has been dumber than I have been
4:07with quarterback so far this season. I
4:09started Drake May in week one. He scored
4:129.8 fantasy points. It was a really
4:14tough match up against the Seattle
4:15Seahawks. I tell myself, "Oh, okay. He's
4:17going to bounce back." And week two, I
4:19play him. He scores eight fantasy
4:21points. I tell myself, "Oh, okay. He was
4:24the QB2 last season in points per game
4:26as a secondyear starter." So, I play him
4:29against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He
4:31scores 3.8 fantasy points.
4:34Then I finally throw in the towel. I
4:37benched him against the Buffalo Bills
4:38and he is the number one quarterback in
4:41fantasy last week. Now, realistically,
4:43if we look at this, Drake May is going
4:45to give you more rushing upside than
4:47almost any other quarterback we've
4:48talked about so far today outside of
4:50Josh Allen. And on top of this, the New
4:53England Patriots do project to outscore
4:56the San Francisco 49ers this week. They
4:59project to score about the same amount
5:00of points as what you have with the
5:03Cincinnati Bengals as well as the
5:05Arizona Cardinals. So, I played Bryce
5:08Young last week in a really good matchup
5:09against Detroit, but this week I'm sadly
5:12going to have to be playing Drake May
5:13and I'm going to be honest with you, I
5:15am terrified to do so. Now, going over
5:17to Trevor Lawrence. Really weird game
5:20environment here where the overunder of
5:22this game's pretty damn low. Big reason
5:24for this is the Philadelphia Eagles.
5:26They've thrown in the towel on the
5:27season, or at least it looks like they
5:29have on the surface. You have a seven
5:30and a half point spread. There's a damn
5:32good chance that the Jacksonville
5:33Jaguars are able to just run the ball in
5:35the second half. Like what is crazy to
5:37see is the Philadelphia Eagles project
5:40to score fewer points than the Miami
5:43Dolphins this week and significantly
5:45fewer points than like Jaylon Daniels
5:48and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Thursday
5:50night. Now going over to Jaden Daniels,
5:52the reports are he is going to be full
5:55go for this week. I am making this
5:57ranking under the assumption that you
6:00are not going to have Terry McLaren,
6:02that Stefon Diggs is going to play. And
6:05while I believe that Jaden Daniels is
6:08fully cleared and he's fully good to go
6:10from a passing perspective, I think it
6:13would be smart to assume, or at least
6:15this is what I would do if I were him.
6:17If I have this massive ass brace on my
6:20left arm and I'm supposed to have
6:22surgery, but I'm electing not to and I'm
6:25just trying to tough it out, I'm
6:28probably going to avoid contact. I am
6:31probably going to try to make a business
6:33decision if I'm about to get crunched
6:36over the middle. So, I would expect
6:38maybe the rushing to be a little bit
6:40lessened for Jaden Daniels his first
6:42week back. I'd want to be a little bit
6:44hesitant with how we rank him again with
6:46this being his first game back, but
6:49wouldn't be surprising at all if he is
6:51up inside the A tier of our rankings
6:53next week. Now, moving down to the C
6:56tier, these are the quarterbacks that
6:57you can start, but I wouldn't be that
6:59excited about it. Bo Nicks is favored
7:02here against the Los Angeles Chargers.
7:04This game's being played in Los Angeles.
7:07You do have Shawn Payeyton taking over
7:09for the play calling here. And with that
7:11in mind, maybe this is the juice that
7:14this offense needs. Maybe all of a
7:15sudden they are better than going to
7:18Jaylen Herz, the
7:21fancy Malik Willis, let's call him, the
7:25quarterback with rushing upside, but at
7:28the same time, the offense is going to
7:30be horrific.
7:32And it projects to only score 17 points.
7:35You have no Barkley. Not only do you
7:37have no Barkley, but on top of this, you
7:40most likely have no Devont Smith as
7:42well. And it's a really tough matchup
7:44being played in Jacksonville. So, I'd
7:45like to avoid it if we could. CJ Shroud
7:48has no rushing upside. The Texans are
7:50seven and a half point favorites.
7:51There's a damn good chance that they're
7:53just going to have to run the ball over
7:54and over again in the second half. Like
7:56again, I am not super optimistic about
7:59the Tennessee Titans making the Texans
8:02be aggressive. And then Kyler Murray you
8:04could consider in a decent little
8:06matchup here. I would probably move
8:08Kyler to the top of this tier if we get
8:11confirmation that both Justin Jefferson
8:14as well as Jordan Addison are playing.
8:16They were both limited in practice
8:19today. Now our Dtier Deshun Watson do
8:22not play him. Sam Darnold do not play
8:25him. Jordan Love do not play him. Tyler
8:28Shuck do not play him. Jaylon Daniels do
8:30not play him. I know Tyler Shucks maybe
8:32the person that people are used to
8:34playing and hell I had Tyler Shuck
8:35ranked as a top three quarterback last
8:38week but it is a very different
8:40situation here in a tough match up
8:42against the Minnesota Vikings. So in
8:44reality these are the quarterbacks I
8:47think you can consider playing this
8:48week. The top 14 names. Now, let's move
8:52over to our tight end position and let's
8:56just go ahead dive into what we get with
9:00our first tier of Trey McBride as well
9:03as Brock Bowers. Um, there's not going
9:05to be much to discuss. Trey McBride is
9:07tied in one because his game projects to
9:10have 54 and a half points scored in it.
9:12And I honestly wouldn't fault you at all
9:15if you wanted to make an argument that
9:16Trey McBride should be in a completely
9:19separate tier to Bowowers this week.
9:22Like McBride is set up to absolutely
9:25smash. And then Brock Bowers is
9:27averaging 24 fantasy points per game. So
9:30I'm still going to give him his respect
9:32even if it's a little bit of a tougher
9:33matchup here for him in comparison to
9:35Trent McBride.
9:37Now going over to our A tier, Sam
9:40Leaporta is going to be at the top of
9:41it. Again, just trying to attack these
9:44specific game environments. Right now,
9:47this Lions offense projects to score 30
9:49points this week. I want to start
9:52everybody I can in Arizona and Detroit.
9:55That means you start Michael Wilson, you
9:57start Trey McBride, you start St. Brown,
9:59you start Gibbs, you start Leaporta, you
10:02start Jameson Williams, you start the
10:05quarterbacks, you start everybody in
10:07what is supposed to be an absolute
10:09massive shootout. Typically, George KD
10:12is going to be much much higher than
10:14what you have with Sam Leaporta. Um, but
10:17this week you have about a 9-point
10:19difference with the projected output of
10:22each individual offense. Um, George KD
10:24just has a much tougher matchup this
10:26week than Leaporta does. And then Tyler
10:28Warren will be our last titan here. I'm
10:30making this ranking under the assumption
10:34that you are not going to have Keenan
10:36Allen or Alec Pierce this week. There is
10:39a small possibility that Keenan Allen
10:41does end up playing. Now Daltton
10:44Concincaid will be our next tight end. I
10:46am starting Daltton Concincaid. So, you
10:48better believe that I am sending up a
10:50massive prayer that he comes through for
10:52us in a big-time way in what should be a
10:55game with fireworks against the Los
10:57Angeles Rams in Los Angeles. Also, the
11:00Bills are dogs in this, so it wouldn't
11:03be that surprising either if they are
11:04forced to go out there and um throw the
11:07ball over and over again in the second
11:08half. Now going over to Tucker Craft.
11:12This is a situation in which you
11:14actually do have him getting a
11:16considerable amount of target volume
11:17over the past few weeks. He had eight
11:19targets two weeks back, seven targets
11:21this week. I mean, if he would have held
11:22on to one of those receptions, he would
11:24have actually come away with two
11:26touchdowns in this game. And again, this
11:28Green Bay Packers team still doesn't
11:30have a running back, so they're still
11:32probably going to need to go through and
11:34throw the ball over and over and over
11:37again. Now with the C tier, we have
11:40Isaiah likely where there was a ton of
11:43target volume really throughout the
11:45entire year. He's been peppered with
11:47targets, averaging almost nine targets
11:49per game right now. Now, this Giants
11:51offense does project out to be pretty
11:53bad. Malik Neighbors most likely should
11:56play. If Neighbors were to miss, Isaiah
11:58likely would move up the ranks. Jawan
12:00Johnson has been so much better than
12:02this so far this season. If you've been
12:03starting Jawan Johnson, I'm sure that
12:06you're going to be rolling your eyes at
12:08this ranking because it's been so much
12:11better than the tight end production.
12:14But the holdup that I have here is it's
12:16just a really tough matchup against the
12:18Minnesota Vikings. So, I'm going to be
12:20ranking all of the New Orleans Saints
12:23lower this week than what we've
12:24typically done. And then Harold Fannon,
12:27the last titan in this tier. Past three
12:30weeks, the volume's been pretty good.
12:31He's had 20 targets over the past three
12:33weeks and he's had double- digit fantasy
12:35points every week as well. I am still of
12:38the opinion though that I think the
12:40Cleveland Browns are a bad offense and
12:42the Cleveland Browns project to only
12:44score 19 points here. So, all of these
12:47tight ends in the CT are very similar
12:49and that they should have volume. They
12:51are very good players, but their offense
12:54is going to be bad for one reason or
12:56another. In the case of the Cleveland
12:58Browns, it's because they have a bad
13:00offense. In the case of the
13:03New Orleans Saints, it's because they
13:05have a bad matchup. Now, going over to
13:07our Dtier, these are the tight ends you
13:10could consider benching. The top 10 guys
13:12probably going to be in your lineup.
13:13Hunter Henry you can consider benching.
13:16Only averaging six and a half fantasy
13:17points per game so far this season. The
13:19projections really like him. I don't
13:22exactly understand why though, if I'm
13:24going to be honest with you. Going over
13:26to Coloulston Lovelin. He's averaging
13:28five fantasy points per game, but he did
13:31get a considerable amount of target
13:33volume this past week. He's getting used
13:35in the red zone as well. He's coming
13:36pretty damn close to scoring a touchdown
13:39finally. Um Dalton Schulz averaging 10
13:41and a half fantasy points per game. I
13:43thought he was going to be a smash this
13:45past week against the Dallas Cowboys. I
13:47actually decided to go through and put
13:48him in my flex spot. Horrific decision.
13:51Hindsight being 2020. Doesn't matter how
13:53bad the Dallas Cowboys defense is, if
13:56Nico Collins is here, don't really have
13:59any interest in playing Dalton Schultz.
14:02Now, going over to TJ Hawinson, if
14:04Justin Jefferson or if Jordan Addison
14:08missed this game, then all of a sudden,
14:11I think you can go through and move
14:13Hawinson up these rankings. This ranking
14:15is the assumption that both of those
14:18guys are going to play. And then going
14:21to Tyler Higgby. If Colobby Parkinson
14:23misses, then I'm gonna want to go
14:25through and move Tyler Higgby up because
14:28obviously we know that you have no
14:29Terren Ferguson. I do think we need to
14:31monitor Parkinson though because if
14:34Parkinson misses, I'll be honest with
14:35you, hopefully nobody from the Flock
14:37league's watching this. I'll probably
14:38pick up Tyler Higgby and play him. Then
14:41Mike Gaseki is our last name. If we were
14:44to have no Jamar Chase, Mike Gaseki
14:47moves up dramatically as well. I am
14:50making this ranking under the assumption
14:52that Mike is going to be good to go.
14:54Now, let's move over to our defenses.
14:57The very clear top defense that you want
15:00in my opinion will be the Houston
15:02Texans. They are seven and a half point
15:04favorites. They've been very
15:05disappointing so far this season, but we
15:08should be in a massive, massive
15:10bounceback spot for them. The
15:12Jacksonville Jaguars will be our second
15:15defense. They are also seven and a half
15:18point favorites. Everybody in
15:19Philadelphia is injured. Not only is
15:21everybody in Philadelphia injured, but
15:24on top of this, you're in a world in
15:26which
15:28I don't know, they're trading offensive
15:31linemen. Offensive linemen are retiring.
15:34They Philly projects to score fewer
15:36points than Miami this week, which is
15:38why, yeah, the Jacksonville Jaguars DST
15:41will be ahead of the Cincinnati Bengals
15:43one. I currently am playing the Bengals
15:45DST though because obviously
15:48um Miami is horrific. So we want to
15:51target that matchup where we can. Now
15:53going over to the other mustard
15:54defenses, the Denver Broncos would be a
15:57better play if Patrick Certan was going
16:00to be good to go. He is looking like he
16:02is going to miss. So for that reason, we
16:04have to have them as an A tier defense
16:07rather than a true S tier defense. Now
16:10going to the Minnesota Vikings. This is
16:14just one of the best defenses in the
16:15NFL. While the match up against the New
16:18Orleans Saints is pretty tough, there is
16:20a world that exists where you possibly
16:24see um the New Orleans Saints miss Chris
16:29Ave who was limited at practice with a
16:30foot injury today, which obviously if
16:32they were to have no ETN and just be
16:35riddled with injuries, then at that
16:36point the Minnesota Vikings defense
16:38would go even higher. And then the New
16:40York Jets are favored in a game that has
16:42like a 37 point overunder. So it should
16:45be the lowest scoring game of the week.
16:46And the Jets project a win. So their
16:48defense is in play as well. Going over
16:50to the other defenses that you can play.
16:52Pittsburgh has a really good defense.
16:54They are going up against the
16:56Indianapolis Colts. They are favored as
16:58well. The Dallas Cowboys are eight and a
17:00half point favorites over an undrafted
17:02free agent quarterback at home tonight.
17:06Going to Washington. Jamus is gonna
17:09Jameus. The Commanders are four-point
17:12favorites. And then this Atlanta Falcons
17:14ranking is obviously under the
17:15assumption in which you do not have
17:19Lamar Jackson.
17:21Now going to our next tier, we are going
17:24to be let off with the Seattle Seahawks.
17:26The Seahawks have one of the best
17:27defenses in the NFL, but with that being
17:31said, this is probably not the week to
17:34go through and jam them because it is a
17:38little bit of a tougher spot playing
17:39against one of the best offenses in the
17:41NFL with the NerS, the New England
17:44Patriots, three and a half points over
17:46the Las Vegas Raiders, and then the
17:48Chicago Bears going up against the Green
17:50Bay Packers who obviously are not
17:52capable of running the ball at this
17:55point. Now, our D tier, we are going to
17:57have the Cleveland Browns. Again, they
17:59should be in the lowest scoring game of
18:01the week. And then you can look at the
18:03Packers, look at the Niners, look at the
18:05Saints, look at the Lions, look at the
18:06Ravens. But the reality is I really am
18:09only excited to go through and play the
18:10Ctier and above defenses.
18:14But I really appreciate you. Hope I was
18:15able to help you out in some way with
18:16this. I'm going to be live streaming
18:18during the game tonight on the Flock
18:19League channel. I'm going to be live
18:20streaming after the game talking about
18:22what happened on this channel. I'm going
18:23to be live streaming every single day
18:24answering your fantasy football
18:26questions.
