0:00I'm gonna be honest. I did not have any fun today. My team sucked more than I could ever imagine. And then I had
0:06Justin Jefferson get injured. I had Travis CTN get injured. Baker Mayfield went down hurting my egg bua. So my life has been a living hell. My fantasy team
0:15is a dumpster fire. I hope you are better off. But regardless, my job is to talk about fantasy football regardless of how my day went. So let's go through
0:25game by game. Talk about the lessons learned. talk about where we're going to have to adjust our rankings and new expectations with some of these
0:32injuries. Starting off with the Los Angeles Rams, um this was a very interesting game. Obviously, the Rams in the first half looked like they were
0:41just a completely different level team in comparison to the Denver Broncos.
0:45They were dominant from the time of kickoff to the time the first half ended and that was it. But in terms of the
0:52running back usage, I I guess actually we'll start with Stafford. Stafford, you know who he is. He could potentially leave the NFL in passing yards and
0:58passing touchdowns. So, he's really interesting in your six-point passing touchdown format leagues. Four-point passing touchdown leagues, not going to run the ball a ton. So, until we get
1:05Puganua back, probably not super super exciting for us. Stafford, you already know that. The running back usage, Kron Williams does look really good in this
1:13game. Kron Williams has a couple of big highlight plays including like a phenomenal grab on the sidelines. So, Kiran 15 carries in comparison to Blake
1:22Cororm at six. Kron Williams also had seven targets for a total of 70 receiving yards and went for over 150 total yards. So for this Rams backfield
1:34remains exactly the way that it was last week, the way that it was the year prior. You start Kyron Williams every
1:39week. Blake Cororm, you don't start, but he is a premium handcuffed running back that if Kiran were to go down, Blake
1:45Cororm probably wins you your league.
1:47And then going over to the Devonte Adams call out. Obviously any given week you have no Puganua. Devonte Adams is a
1:56borderline top five wide receiver in fantasy. This was a tough matchup and Devonte Adams still looked phenomenal.
2:02There were plays where he actually looks speedy out there despite him being 38 years old. So Adams must start wide receiver every single week. Um when Puk
2:11is playing he's more like a wide receiver too. When Puk is out he is a borderline top five guy. And then
2:17looking at the tight ends, so we did get Terren Ferguson injured at the very beginning of the game. He went out of
2:24the game, went over to the locker room, came back in, uh, then got injured immediately. So Terren Ferguson being out probably makes it where Tyler Higgby
2:33is now all of a sudden a play if Puka Nakua misses going into the future. But obviously so much of this comes down to
2:40Puka and we just don't know his status yet. Now going over to the Denver Broncos.
2:47here. Bo Nicks is somebody that I'm going to be honest with you, I may have to look at him for my own team. I am
2:54assuming that your team's good enough for you would never consider starting Bo Knicks. I play in a six-point passing touchdown format, so the rushing upside
3:02there doesn't matter as much. While at the same time, my quarterback's Drake May, who is arguably the worst quarterback in the
3:10NFL at this point, or at least that's how I'm feeling after he just did me dirty this week. But for 99% of y'all,
3:17you probably don't want to start Bo.
3:18Nixon fantasy. Looking at the running back usage, JK Dobbins 17 carries. At no point did he ever look good with the
3:26football in his hands, but he is getting the first and second down work. RJ Harvey is very clearly getting the receiving work. RJ Harvey had seven
3:34targets in comparison to JK Dobbins with only two. But both of these guys are just like desperation plays. If you were
3:41to have um a really good matchup, maybe you could consider Dobbins, but I never really want to play them unless you're
3:48dealing with a ton of buys and injuries.
3:50Uh the wide receivers, Courtland Sutton leads this team with 46 receiving yards.
3:54He's not playable. Pat Bryant scores a touchdown. He's not playable. He only had two targets. The only name that's probably playable, but obviously is
4:02looking very boom and bust at this point, is going to be Jaylen Wadd. He had seven targets, only came away with
4:0710 receiving yards, but the two-point conversion that he had looked incredible. But kind of regardless here, um, Wadd looks like he is not some set
4:16it and forget it, must start wide receiver every single week. In a game in which the Broncos score 30, Wadd's still
4:23a little disappointing here. Now, let's go over to an interesting Cleveland Browns offense where Deshun Watson looked decent. Now, I'm not going to sit
4:32here and try to overstate this. Deshaawn Watson had a total of 144 passing yards off of 30 pass attempts. But Deshun
4:39Watson's playing good enough football for the Cleveland Browns who have just won two games. You never consider starting him. Going over and looking at
4:45Quinn Sean Judkins like Judkins continues to get all the volume in this backfield. He had 20 total opportunities in this game but yet again did not come
4:54away with the touchdown. And that's kind of what you expect here for the Cleveland Browns. So, and your deeper 12 team double flex formats, you're
5:01probably still starting Judkins every week just given the volume and your shallower formats obviously can be looking at benching. And what we had
5:08with these pass catchers over the past few weeks is like Denzel Boston very clearly being the alpha, Casey Conception getting a decent amount of
5:15run as well and Harold Fannon kind of falling into the background. But Harold Fannon comes out, leads this team with nine targets. And Harold Fannon goes
5:24from somebody that was probably on your bench to now you're gonna have to figure out if you should start him next week.
5:29And the answer is probably that you should. But even though the Cleveland Browns are now currently two- one, which obviously if you go over and look at the
5:36Los Angeles Rams who are 1 and two, I probably am going to be um benching Cleveland Browns into the future as
5:43well. Now going over to what we have with the Carolina Panthers. Carolina just super shaky spot. Bryce Young looked very bad through the vast
5:54majority of this game. He did end up with 48 pass attempts though. So, of course, when he had 48 pass attempts, if
6:02you started Bryce Young, he kind of got bailed out a little bit near the end of the game. Chuba Hubert had an incredible
6:07workload. He had 23 total opportunities.
6:10didn't do much when it comes to Total Fantasy points, but um you should start True Auburn every week going into the
6:15future in which you have no Jonathan Brooks because it's not like AJ Dylan is really any competition. Now, Jaylen Coker gets banged up in this game. Now,
6:24Bryson Tumine, a wide receiver that I never thought in a million years we'd be talking about, leads this team in receiving, but I would say that again,
6:32my expectations will be Ted McMillan is the one. And if Jaylen Coker misses, Tedell McMillan, despite having an absolute dud performance this week, is
6:41somebody that you got to jam next. Now, I want to go over and talk about an offense that I'm going to be honest, I
6:50got horrifically wrong. Obviously, at this point, as we said from the top, my fantasy football team is straight up I don't like to cuss on this channel, so
7:01bleep it if you got kids in the car, but my fantasy football team is ass. It is horrendous. It's the worst team that I
7:09have had in years. I mean, the first two years of the Flock League, most wins in the league. I had earned a buy through
7:16the first two weeks. I scored the most points in week one, but one, it was already trending in the wrong direction.
7:23And then two, with the injuries that we had, my week's been horrible. But also, a horrible, horrible call that I had is
7:29I came through and I said, "You have to bench every single Washington Commander.
7:33You have to bench Chakori Kroski Merritt. You have to bench Rashad White.
7:36You have to bench Terry McLaren. You have to bench Stefon Dixs." Going into this game, if you were looking at markets, they had the Commanders with an
7:46implied team total anywhere from about 15 12 to 16 and a half points. The Washington Commanders with Marcus Mariota, a garbage offensive line,
7:55projected to be the lowest scoring offense in the league in a tough match up against the Seattle Seahawks.
8:01Now, with that being said, uh clearly uh they balled out. Marcus Mariota looked really good. Mariota came through three passing touchdowns. Pretty damn
8:12efficient with this as well. And I know a lot of people may consider Mariota as a streaming quarterback, but I'm
8:22probably not doing so myself. I will go through and let me pull up real quick what the markets have with the
8:30commanders this next week and see how's this has changed and how they are maybe um going through and viewing this
8:42performance from Marcus Mariota. So before this game on Poly Market US the commanders had a 34% chance of beating the Indianapolis Colts. after this
8:50Mariota performance that has jumped up to 39%.
8:55Um, right now the overunder of this game is 46 and a half points and I guess the Commanders project to score 21 and a
9:02half right now. So maybe the Commanders offense will project out better this next week where you could potentially look at streaming Mariota. I I'm a
9:10stubborn idiot so I'm probably not going to do it personally, but I will be interested to see how this tracks over
9:15the coming weeks. But obviously if you wanted to check out any of these markets, um this is Poly Market US. You
9:20can find the link in the description comment section live chat. Sign up with code flock. You will get $50 added to
9:26your account after you deposit your first 10. And on top of that, Poly Market US is available in every state outside of Nevada with the link in the
9:35description. But anyway, now having to reset expectations, Stefon Digs, Tara McLaren had seven and nine targets respectfully. They are soaking up over
9:4550% of this team's target share. And if the Commanders can be a good enough offense, like they're both flex considerations every single week,
9:56regardless of if it's Mariota or Daniel's under center. Again, this team blew way past the expectations that I had. Um, and then looking at the running
10:04backs with JCM and Rashad White, I would still not want to start either one. I think they're both worth roster spots
10:11because if JaKoRi Krosky Merritt were to get injured, I think Rashad White probably turns into a mustart player. If Rashad White gets injured, I think
10:18Jakori Kroskmerit's definitely interesting. But I wouldn't want to jump to start any guy here outside of Daniels when he comes back. And then also the
10:27receivers with Terry and Diggs going over to the Seattle Seahawks. Obviously, they were down um for a decent amount of this game. So I thought game had an 8
10:38and a half point spread. We are going to get a decent amount of carries out of Jerian Price. Jarian Price fumbles at
10:44the beginning and then it's the Emanuel Wilson show from there on out. Like Jarian Price does absolutely nothing.
10:51And honestly after this Jarian Price fumble, I'm going to take my L. We're going to walk it back. You can't start
10:57this dude.
10:59Like if this was the run out against the Commanders where again the spread was eight and a half points and Jadarian
11:07Price goes five for 15 with carries and rushing yards, loses a fumble and maybe the job. The only guy that you can
11:15consider starting in Seattle is going to be Jackson Smith and Jigba. I understand that Sam Darnold had a phenomenal game.
11:21Trust me, as somebody who started Drake May, I would have killed for this Sam Darnold performance in fantasy. But very rarely is this Seahawks team going to
11:30fall down this much and then have to throw the ball 45 times against a weak Commander defense. So I think this was
11:36the perfect setup for Darnold. JSN was our wide receiver one in fantasy this week. We updated the rankings to have him there after he blew up last against
11:44the Cardinals. So JSN's legit to be the wide receiver one rest of season, but I don't think anybody else is interesting
11:51here for Seattle. Now, going over to the Chargers, this pissed me the hell off. I mean, a random note with this game, we almost
12:01had a Buffalo Bills defensive touchdown, or at least we did, and then it ended up getting called back. And as somebody who
12:06started the Bills DST, dear God, I was so damn frustrated. Now, if we're going to look at what we have from Justin
12:15Herbert, we obviously need to go through and reset expectations on this Chargers offense in comparison to where it was coming into the season. One thing that
12:25y'all know I absolutely love doing is I like looking at real market data and trying to use that to help us make
12:34fantasy football predictions. And right now, if we look at implied team totals, which is again where markets have teams scoring um on average every week, it's a
12:45formula calculated by taking the overunder of the game and the spread of the game. And you can see how many points does Vegas think this offense is
12:54going to score. Right now, the only offenses that project to be worse than the Chargers rest of season are the Dolphins, the Titans, the Browns, the
13:04Commanders, and I'm sure the Commanders will change once we get Jaden Daniels back in. So, the Chargers look like a bottom five offense in the league.
13:12Katon, so Justin Herbert not startable.
13:14If you cut Justin Herbert, I'm not faulting you at all for it. Amari and Hampton did not look good in this game.
13:21Amari and Hampton's receiving usage is non-existent. Amari Hampton had one target for zero receiving yards and a game in which Justin Herbert dropped
13:31back 38 times.
13:35Trey Harris leads this team in targets, but frankly like the only guy that I would start here for the Chargers, Amari
13:42Hampton, but he's not a running back one. Instead, he's a running back two because the receiving role isn't there.
13:47while at the same time the offense is so much worse than we thought it would be coming into the year. And Lad McConi,
13:52but Lad Manki does not have wide receiver one upside is again this is close to a bottom five offense. Lad especially as they are spreading the
14:00ball out a little bit more here looks to be closer to like a low and wide receiver two, high and wide receiver
14:05three. And then Quinton Johnson completely unstartable. I wouldn't mind if you cut him. And then Aronda Gatson we had as that waiverwire tight end
14:12pickup with all the tight end injuries in Los Angeles. We wanted to bench him this week. see what he did and
14:17potentially start him next. Well, after Ronda Gadston gives you the official goose egg, it is safe to send his butt right back to the waiverwire. Now, going
14:26over to the Buffalo Bills side of things. So, Josh Allen doesn't maybe have the prettiest day in the box score, but it doesn't matter. He has two
14:34rushing touchdowns, so he's going to get those rushing touchdowns at the goal line. Clearly, it's automatic with him, so there's no reason why they wouldn't
14:41do it. Josh Allen remains the QB1 in fantasy rest of season. Nobody comes close. Going over to James Cook. James Cook remains an absolute set it and
14:49forget it. Must start running back every week. The problem here will be to a certain extent he's going to get vultured at the goal line by Josh Allen
14:55for rushing touchdowns. And Josh Allen's not going to check the ball down to James Cook very often. The target volume is going to be a little bit lower. But
15:02regardless, he had the rushing title last year. This offense is great. This Bills team's three and 0. James Cook still a locked and loaded running back
15:09one. Going over and looking at DJ Moore.
15:11DJ Moore had 10 targets out of a potential 26 Josh Allen pass attempts.
15:17So DJ Moore at this point honestly may look like an low candidate. The market share numbers here are insane. Obviously he didn't do anything in week two after
15:27leaving early with an injury. But I mean if we go through and look at the target volume he had in this game.
15:33I don't know another week where he's able to come back from this shoulder injury. He may be even better in weeks
15:38four onwards. And then as somebody who has Daltton Concaid, trust me, there is nothing more painful than Concaid's one big play, him fumbling at the end. And
15:50god dang, it just frustrated me to no end. But I still view Daltton Concaid as a set it and forget it must start tight
15:56end every single week regardless. Now going over to the Detroit Lions. Jared Goff at this point with the Detroit Lions offense being this bad. I'm sorry,
16:07defense being this bad. Their offense going to have to throw the ball a ton.
16:10So you are just going to start Jared Goff every single week. If you're in a six-point passing touchdown format like I am in, trust me, I would way rather be
16:17starting this dude over Drake May in a four-point passing touchdown format.
16:21You're probably going to be starting him a lot. You don't necessarily do need to do it every single time. the running
16:26back situation. Uh Jir Gibbs dropped 40 points on my head top, but nothing changes here, right? Jir Gibbs was the running back one in fantasy football. He
16:36was the number one overall player in fantasy football coming into this week.
16:40And that remains the case coming out of this week. And then looking at the receivers, Jameson Williams almost scored 10 fantasy points. Hooray. Amra
16:50St. Brown only has 19 receiving yards, but it doesn't matter. This dude comes away with the receiving touchdown. So you start St. Brown, you start Sam
16:58Laaporta, you start Gibbs, you start Goff, and in your deeper formats like a 12 team double flex, you probably keep starting JMO and hope that the big
17:05touchdown comes soon. And your 10 team, two wide receiver single flex formats, then honestly, it's maybe a safe spot where you can just bench Jameson
17:14Williams. Now going over to the Jets side of things, the big thing that we have is the Bruce Hall injury. So, we do
17:23not have an updated word on how long Bree Hall is going to miss. This isn't a knee injury, so we're not necessarily
17:30expecting um Bree Hall to potentially have a torn ACL like Devon Aan, but he could still very easily be out a couple
17:38weeks. And any game in which Breece misses, Brilen Allen's going to be the direct beneficiary. Now, with Brilen Allen, the big question mark that you
17:47want to have is how much receiving usage will he see? But he did have three targets in this game. So Brilen is used
17:53as a receiver. He definitely has the size to be a three down running back.
17:57Then going over to the wide receivers, Garrett Wilson, set it and forget it.
18:02Locked and loaded wide receiver.
18:03Obviously, if y'all watch the Flock League video, you can see I was doing everything I could to try to trade for
18:08Garrett Wilson in this before this game.
18:10Now, in this game, Wilson did leave the field for a bit. Um, he had to run through some checks to make sure he
18:15didn't have a concussion, but he sounds like he is fine. And then with Kenyan Sadi once Adenai Mitchell got ruled out
18:23this morning, we were like, "Hey, Kenyan Sadi's probably an interesting waiverwire pickup given the fact that they really don't have anybody else to
18:29throw the ball to with Omar Cooper on the IR and Adai Mitchell with the injured I think it's a I don't know if
18:35it's a thumb or a finger. They label it as a finger, but I think it's a thumb.
18:38But regardless, Kenyan Sadi has himself a phenomenal day. I wish I would have had the stones to um pick him up and
18:45start him in my league or tell people to start him. Sadly, I didn't have those stones. But regardless here, I'll talk
18:53about Kenyan Sadique in the Waverwire video that's going to come out on Tuesday morning. There's a high probability that you need to go through
18:59and you need to pick him up. Now, there's another tight end for the Jets that did get involved as well. Um, so I
19:06don't want to act like Kenyan Sadi some league winning set it and forget it must start tight end every single week going
19:11into the future. But definitely a lot of upside. This was kind of a perfect matchup for him though. Now, going over
19:16to the Tennessee Titans and the New York Giants. I know a lot of people are going to blame the weather on this.
19:22I honestly don't think you cop out and blame the weather. Here's the thing with the Tennessee Titans. Cam Ward looks like he may be one of the worst
19:29quarterbacks in the NFL. Cam Ward looks atrocious. Like unbelievably bad.
19:36So, if I'm looking at Cam Ward here, pretty easy spot to just say he is making every single player in this
19:43Titans offense unusable. Wandell Robinson in the revenge game gets the receiving touchdown. So, chance with the Jefferson and ETN injuries. I may end up
19:54having to freaking start this dude, which is the most embarrassing thing ever to admit. But yeah, not a single person is playable in Tennessee. It
20:02doesn't matter that Tony Pard comes through and he has almost 100 total yards and almost 14 fantasy points.
20:08Still no way in hell you can put him in your lineup with how bad this Titans offense is. And then I understand again
20:13want to blame the weather blah blah blah. Here's the thing with the New York Jets. Don't get it twisted. Jamus is
20:19just garbage.
20:20They win the game but they do so with field goals.
20:25This team needs to trade for a quarterback if you are going to be excited about these names like Malik Neighbors. Now, in reality, the only
20:33guys you can start here will be Scat as well as Malik, but you clearly have to have lowered expectations with no
20:40Jackson Dart just because this offense is going to be so much worse.
20:46But both those guys are probably names that you are starting. Now going over to the Jacksonville Jaguars, New England Patriots. Um, Bashel Tutin gets the vast
20:56majority of the work here. The thing with Tuton is he hasn't had a ton of the receiving usage that you would really
21:02want for him to unlock that ceiling, but I mean, this team really likes him.
21:06Trevor Lawrence went down at the one, so Bashel Tutin could get the touchdown.
21:10And then looking at the receivers, while yes, Jacobe Buy Myers has more targets, receptions, receiving yards, fantasy points, I still think that more likely
21:19than not, we can say that Parker Washington is going to be the one in this offense. And what we have officially learned is in your shallow
21:29formats, you can go ahead and you can cut Brian Thomas Jr. We are now at Marvin Harrison level with Brian Thomas.
21:37The Jacksonville Jaguars just scored 35 points and Brian Thomas Jr. just scored 1.8 fantasy points. The guys you start Parker Washington, Bashel Tutin probably
21:48every week. And then Jacobe Meyers in your deeper formats you can look at like if you're in a 12 team double flex
21:54league because again Travis Hunter is getting no offensive usage while at the same time.
22:01Um, Brian Thomas is just so freaking bad.
22:07It's unbelievable.
22:10Now, looking at where we stand with the New England Patriots, here's the deal, man.
22:19I have Drake May. I drafted him in round seven of my league, and I regret nothing more.
22:29Let me go ahead and let's pull up how many points has Drake May scored through the first three weeks this year.
22:40Drake May week one scored 9.8 points.
22:47Week two he scored eight. This past week he scored 3.8.
22:55What happened to these fantasy this fantasy production? Your first year as a starter, you were a luck to go out there
23:06and get 20 fantasy points in a game.
23:11You were set it and forget it. 23 years old, 20 fantasy points like this.
23:22Now, I'm a bottom three team in my league standings because I've started your I I'm a bottom three team now in my league
23:32because I have started you for three weeks straight. A lot of it's on me this past week. I should have no and I should
23:37have thrown in the towel. I should have said, "Hey, ignore the previous year.
23:40Ignore that sample. Those were against bad teams. He has no AJ Brown. This team's dysfunctional. This team's garbage." Whyever you want to blame it.
23:50But it's to the point where there is a 0% chance that I can start Drake May this next week, that you can start Drake May this next
24:01week, depended on your league settings.
24:04If you wanted to cut Drake May, I'm not going to fault you for it.
24:12New England had another injury to the offensive line. Their receivers are garbage. I don't think you that's the only excuse for Drake May though. Drake
24:20May is also bad, right? He's not playing well.
24:25There are other quarterbacks that also don't have weapons that are getting the job done.
24:31So, nothing is more frustrating than this. If this offense is bad, not a single person startable. Obviously, you start no pass catchers here. It doesn't
24:39matter that Matt Collins had nine targets. I'm not starting him next week.
24:44Trevian and Raadre are split in the backfield. It doesn't matter what the exact split is. Neither of them are startable.
24:51You definitely roster both because if you were to get a Trevian injury, Raadre turns into a league winner. If you were
24:58to get a Raadre injury, Trevian turns into a league winner. But until then, you are just holding on to these guys
25:06and seeing if something changes.
25:09Now, let me move this over. What game have we not talked about here? Let's talk about the Kansas City Chiefs as
25:17well as the Miami Dolphins. Now, if I wasn't the dumbest person on the planet, you know who I'd have on my team instead
25:24of Justin Jefferson? This guy named Kenneth Walker. But we'll get to him in a second. Patrick Mahomes looks like you just absolutely jam him every week. The
25:31rushing upside wasn't there in this game. We did get the rushing upside back in week one against the Denver Broncos.
25:36Obviously, you're going up against Miami. You're not going to have to run the ball here if you're Mahomes. even though this game um was a little bit
25:43closer in the middle of it than the final score indicates. But yeah, Mahomes's never going to be running a ton against these teams like the Miami
25:50offense. Kenneth Walker, I have officially moved ahead of Jonathan Taylor in my rest of season rankings.
25:58It's hard not to like this was the worst game that we've had from Kenneth Walker from a usage perspective and he had 20
26:06opportunities.
26:08He's a top three running back rest of season. The only guys I would prefer over Kenneth Walker at this point are
26:14Bejon and Gibbs. Rasheed Rice looks like he's back. Rashi Rice has nine targets out of 23 potential. Travis Kelce remains a set it and forget it top 10
26:23tight end every single week.
26:26And then Xavier Worthy at this point looks like I just got to drop him. Like here's the deal with Xavier Worthy. What would have to
26:34change for me to get him in my lineup?
26:36Like I don't know the scenario in which I would ever start him at this point.
26:42So there's a damn good chance that I am dropping Xavier Worthy. And I wouldn't fault you for doing it either.
26:49Now let's see what game are we missing out on discussing so far. Let's talk about the Texans and Indianapolis Colts.
26:59So looking at this Texans offense, the big thing is it's just going to be horrific with no Nico Collins, right?
27:05They don't have that big playmaker. It's not like the running backs are going to be that. Montgomery isn't a running back
27:12by committee. He is still the lead back in this. We did get the three touchdowns back in week one, but um yeah, I don't
27:20think McGomery is going to give you the big plays. McGomery is not a phenomenal receiving back, so I think there are
27:25reasons to maybe be a little bit lower on McGomery here, but you still probably play him. He will be better once Nico
27:32Collins comes back just because this offense will have more trips to the red zone. Woody Marks still going to be split in the back field. And then going
27:39over to the receiving options, I thought Dalton Schulz was going to be the play this week just like he was last week
27:45with no Nico Collins just because it's like, hey, who the hell else are they going to throw the ball to? And frankly,
27:51it's uh didn't matter because you had 167 passing yards from CJ Shroud. So, uh, I would start Nico Collins once he's
28:01back next week. David McGomery is a desperation start. Woody Marks is worth the handcuff roster spot. And I would say McGomery is a desperation start.
28:09McGomery is a star, but he's projected out as low-end RB2 every week.
28:14Now, going over to Indianapolis as a Jonathan Taylor owner, I'm going to be honest, even though Jonathan Taylor did nothing in this game, right? Like, my
28:23team was horrific all around. I'm a horrible fantasy player all around.
28:28Horrible fantasy owner, horrible fantasy drafter, trader, whatever you want to say. All the blame goes on me. But yeah, Jonathan Taylor didn't do anything in
28:36this game for me. But I'm actually kind of excited coming out of it just because at least the Indianapolis Colts got a W
28:43and at least this is going to be a competitive football team down the stretch or at least that will be the
28:47hope here, especially if Daniel Jones could continue to improve every week that he gets further removed from the torn Achilles. Jonathan Taylor continues
28:55to see every single touch in this backfield. It was obviously a tough matchup again that we had going up against Houston, but um usage looks
29:03good. Going over to the receivers, we had Josh Downs with 11 targets, Tyler Warren with 10 targets. So even though Keenan scored the touchdown, I would say
29:11the guys that you're probably starting every single week will be Downs as well as Tyler Warren. And I think you probably jam them regardless of matchup
29:21here as well given the volume. Downs is obviously a little bit of a tougher spot this week specifically because this week
29:28it was just a tough matchup for all these Colts guys. Now going over to Pittsburgh, you never play Aaron Rogers.
29:35Jaylen Warren is an automatic start any game you have no Rico D. You knew that coming in, you know that coming out.
29:41Going over to the pass catchers, DK Mechaf scores a touchdown, but he had five targets out of 31 potential.
29:48Michael Pitman Jr. does nothing. So again, if like Metaf and Pitman are this underwhelming in a game in which
29:57like we see Aaron Rogers have three passing touchdowns and almost three under passing yards. What should we expect when the Steelers don't score 30
30:08points?
30:11So, here's what I expect. I expect we are eventually going to get Rico Dael
30:22coming back into this offense splitting with Jaylen Warren and then all of a sudden Warren's going to be less exciting than he was in this
30:31game and this Steelers offense is going to become a muddied mess. Now, again, doubt misses this next week. then Jaylen Warren is just an automatic start for
30:40you. And then going over to the Cincinnati Bengals, you already know what to do. You start Burrow, you start Chase, you start Jamar, you start
30:51Higgins, and that's about it. I know Gaseki scored the touchdown, but I'm not too too interested. And while Chase Brown, yes, didn't have that great of a fantasy
31:00day, he still had the vast majority of the work here. It was just a tough spot in which obviously they couldn't get the run game
31:08going. But I still have faith that Chase Brown's the same running back that he was last year and the year prior. Now
31:16let's go over and let's talk about the Ners and Arizona Cardinals. So the big thing that happened in this game is the
31:25Jeremiah Love takeover. There is not a single player that is going to be moving higher in my rankings after this week
31:33than Jeremiah Love.
31:36Jeremiah Love 21 rush attempts in comparison to Tyler Algier with two.
31:42Jeremiah Love also five receptions and the receiving touchdown. So Jeremiah Love just went out there and he just posted
31:5223 total touches.
31:56This dude is legit a set it and forget it top 12 wide receiver going into the future. We have now seen it. Going over to the pass
32:06catchers, Marvin Harrison is done.
32:09Jacobe Brassette had over 50 pass attempts and Marvin Harrison had five targets. Michael Wilson drew 17.
32:18So looking at this, Michael Wilson has to be a big- time riser in rankings.
32:24Like at this point, DK Metaf verse Michael Wilson, I straight up probably prefer Michael Wilson. Chris Godwin verse Michael Wilson, I probably straight up prefer
32:35Michael Wilson. Depending on what happens in tomorrow night's game, Roma Dunce or Michael Wilson, I may prefer Michael Wilson.
32:45So, yeah, Wilson big time riser with what just happened.
32:50And then Trey McBride, still an elite tight end. Uh we'll talk about Bowowers in just one second. So I don't think
32:56McBride's my tight end one anymore, but McBride crushing regardless. Going over to the San Francisco 49ers, here's the deal.
33:07Kyle Shanahan and Brock Party are insane.
33:15No Ricky Pierol, no Deon Stribbling, no Christian Kirk, no Jake Tongis, Mike Evans gets knocked out in this game.
33:25It doesn't matter.
33:30Brock Pury four passing touchdowns off of 27 pass attempts and 300 passing yards.
33:41Pertie was my QB six rest of season coming into this. And you would think like, oh, he loses another weapon with Evans. Obviously, we don't
33:51exactly know when Evans is coming back.
33:54You would think he goes down, but again, it just doesn't matter.
34:03running back usage. McCaffrey gets 19, I'm sorry, 20 total opportunities, 19 total touches, over a 100red total yards. McAffrey remains set it and
34:12forget it. High-end running back won every single week. George KD, he's fully recovered from this torn
34:21Achilles. It's legitimately insane.
34:26Like at this point, especially with the Evans injury and how damn good this Niners offense is, how good Brock Party looks. And this is
34:39what's so fresh. I'm just going to be honest with y'all. Obviously, I'm pissed the hell off right now. Um, my team
34:44sucks and my rival in my league, Avery, his team is goated and he has George KD.
34:50And I think I'm looking at this and I think I have to move George KD ahead of Daltton Concaid in my rest of season
34:54ranks. I think I legit may need to move KD up to Titan three.
35:03Like KD looks like he's elite again.
35:07Debo Samuel gets kind of the trick play with the Evans lateral. Debo gets the 80 yard touchdown, but it's not like the
35:14Debo Samuel usage is that good. But at the same time, I don't know if Evans is hurt, like Debo
35:26could very easily be a jam. Now, going over to Tampa. Here's the deal.
35:35Jaylon Daniels may now be the starting quarterback with Baker Mayfield just breaking his thumb.
35:42Bucky Irving may be injured as well.
35:45We'll update you with the Bucky stuff tomorrow, but we may be looking at an undrafted free agent rookie quarterback, no starting running back, and this being
35:56the worst offense in the NFL. This team's 0 and3.
36:01The Tampa Bay Buccaneers may legit just be the Miami Dolphins, but five hours north.
36:13I have Ibuka on my own team, my team's ass, and it's a deeper league, so I'm going to continue to start him,
36:19and I'm going to hope that this rookie quarterback can do something.
36:24But with how bad this offense is, like if you're in a shallower format, for the love of God, Ben Shikbuka and
36:33Gainwell will be an interesting waiverwire pickup if we were to have Bucky missing, but obviously we don't know if that will be the case.
36:42Now, Kyler, it's very difficult to take a ton away from this game because obviously the Justin Jefferson injury.
36:50What we can take away from this is while you have no Jordan Mason, Aaron Jones is an absolute jam. Aaron Jones had 23
36:58opportunities in this game. The Vikings defense is so damn good. I think they get to play the Miami Dolphins next week. So, they're going to be running it
37:06non-stop with Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones going to look incredible. Jordan Addison's probably going to be a start as well while you have no Justin
37:12Jefferson.
37:15So, Jefferson, it sounds like this is the same injury that led to CD Lamb missing like three weeks last year.
37:24Sounds like it's going to be a multi-week injury for Jefferson, even though this dude was looking like he wanted to go back in the game, walking
37:31around on the sidelines, hopping around on the sidelines, looking a-okay.
37:37So, I need Justin Jefferson back more than I need oxygen.
37:43But I think we have no Jefferson for a couple weeks which makes it where I don't want to start Kyler but you will
37:49start Aaron Jones for sure and Jordan Addison can be played as well. Now going over to the Baltimore Ravens Dallas
37:58Cowboys game. Lamar Jackson 50 rushing yards in this game. Lamar Jackson looked phenomenal. Lamar QB2 only buying Josh Allen. That was the case that
38:10um we had before this game. Obviously the case that we had after Dererick Henry elite RB1 before this game Derrick Henry elite RB1 after this game nothing
38:20changed there. What is very interesting is Z Flowers coming off the injury in a game in which we didn't even know if he
38:27was going to play comes in and Z Flowers looks like the freaking dude.
38:32I'm assuming Zay Flowers is closer to 100% probably actually 100% come this next week.
38:48Z Flowers looks like he could straight up be a league winner. So you start Lamar, you start Henry, you start Flowers. Nobody else is interesting here
38:55in Baltimore. Obviously when you had no Flowers, Andrews as well as Abatement were. Now going over to Dallas, Javvante really good workload. You know, you play
39:06Javvante every week. Dak Prescott could potentially lead the NFL in passing any given week. You know, you play him. You know, the targets will be concentrated
39:14between Lamb and Pickkins. You know, you play both of them. So, the Dallas Cowboys offense, um, it's been very straightforward the entire time. Now,
39:23going over the New Orleans Saints, Tyler Shuck looks legit. At this point, I would kill to have Tyler Shuck on my
39:30team over Drake May.
39:34Like, It is just a brutal,
39:43brutal spot.
39:46The running back situation, Travis ETN goes down with the hamstring.
39:52That was my running back, too. Now I have Alvin Kamara.
39:56The waiver wire is so bone dry that unless I can somehow get Devon Achan off waiverss, I'm sorry, not Devon Achan,
40:05Olly Gordon, I'm probably starting Alvin Kamara this week.
40:17Wide receiver Crystal L continues to be a top five name until Tyson's in and then maybe something changes.
40:24Jawan Johnson continues to be an absolute set it and forget it must start tight end every week until potentially Tyson comes in but for the time being
40:34dear God Jawan Johnson absolute slams Tyler Shock looks for sure playable with all the QB injuries and with the running back situation it's
40:45going to be some split between Kamara and Miller and unless you have a garbage team like I do you probably don't want
40:53to play either Now going over to what we have with the Las Vegas Raiders. The Raiders are 3 and 0. I'm going to be honest, I thought we
41:04were seeing Fernando Mendoza like halfway through this season. We ain't getting Mendoza anytime soon.
41:13Like, you can't binge Cousins when the Las Vegas Raiders are currently sitting at 3 and 0.
41:21Cousins isn't playable despite what he did in this game. Ashton Genty does get um kind of shafted in terms of the total
41:29fantasy points here. Not a phenomenal day, only like 11 and a half points, but he still did have 22 opportunities. You
41:36start Genty every single week. And then Bowowers is back to being the tight end one. I'm going to be honest with y'all.
41:43Nothing pisses me off more. And I'm just going to be frank with y'all. I had a deal verbally accepted from Zufa
41:52that I was trading him Dalton Concincaid and Christian Watson for Brock Bowers and Rasheed Rice.
42:03The live chat told me not to do it. I was going to do it anyway.
42:08Zufa texted me, "Yeah, I accept. Let's get the deal done." I invite him on the stream so we can shake hands to clip it
42:15for the Flock League. And then once he gets on the live stream, he backs out of it. I would kill to have Brock Bowers
42:22right now. Bowers is a beast. He is fully back. He looks so damn good. And this, of course, is going to make it
42:30where no receivers in Las Vegas is interesting at all.
42:36Now, so you jam Bowers, you jam Genty.
42:39I'm not playing Kirk Cousins. And then we already talked about the Rams and Denver. And obviously I'll be live after the
42:50um Chicago Bears and Philadelphia Eagles game tomorrow night. It's going to be a super interesting game. It's going to be tough to know much without Caleb
43:00Williams here. So quarterback play should be really bad for Chicago. Like going through again, I know I've showed you all this a bunch, but um before the
43:08Caleb injury on Poly Market US, the Bears had a 57% chance of winning this game. But as it stands right now with no
43:16Caleb, that's now down to a 35% chance.
43:20So massive, massive swing. But obviously if y'all wanted to check out any of these markets on Poly Market US, like right now, Coulson Lovelin 33% chance to
43:31score 12 or more points. Um, Squan Barkley's a 50/50 chance of scoring 15 or more. You can find the link to Poly Market US in the
43:42description, comment section, live chat, sign up with promo code flock. You will get $50 added to your account after you deposit your first 10. And Polymark US
43:52available in every state outside of Nevada.
43:56But I think that's all we got for you. I really appreciate you, ladies and gentlemen. I really hope that your fantasy football day went well.
44:03Hopefully you're two and one. Hopefully that you are three and 0. But much love.
44:08Appreciate you. And I get to see you out in the live stream
