0:00I had a massive sweat in this game. I
0:02was winning my match up by 19 points,
0:05but my opponent had CD Lamb and I had
0:08Brandon Aubrey. Now, thank God Aubrey
0:11came through for us. We ended up winning
0:12our match up. Third straight win. We are
0:14on to four and three, one of the top
0:16teams in the league for the third
0:18straight season. Love to see it. But
0:19regardless, um this game was pretty
0:21interesting, especially what happened on
0:23the Eagles side. Dallas not super
0:26unique, like nothing really changes in
0:28terms of our long-term outlook here. Dak
0:31Prescott still a quarterback you're
0:32probably starting every week, still a
0:34quarterback that doesn't have rushing
0:35upside, so the ceiling's going to be a
0:36little bit capped. But for fantasy, he
0:39could lead the NFL in passing yards,
0:41lead the NFL in passing touchdowns any
0:43given week. So, this is somebody that
0:45you absolutely jam in your lineup,
0:46right? He has CD Lamb as well as George
0:48Pickens. Going over to the running
0:50backs, um Javonte Williams has 25
0:52carries, 155 rushing yards, and the
0:55rushing touchdown. The problem that we
0:57had from Javonte in this game, if you
0:59needed a nuclear performance, like
1:02actually Jynxzi in the Flock league
1:04needed Javonte to score. It was like
1:0621.7 and he scored like 21.5. Now, if
1:10those numbers are slightly off, he
1:12needed 0.2 more points from Javonte
1:14Williams. And the problem was Javonte
1:18didn't catch the ball. Javonte had a
1:20total of zero targets in this backfield
1:23this week. And coming into this game,
1:25Javonte was averaging 3.7 targets per
1:28contest. So, very weird to see the
1:30receiving usage go down, but Javonte
1:33still a running back one in fantasy.
1:35This is a good offense. He sees the vast
1:37majority of it. Tyler Goodson got some
1:39usage, and it's not like it was just in
1:41garbage time, right? Actually, Javonte
1:43was the running back that was used to
1:45ice the game. Tyler Goodson was used a
1:47lot at the beginning portion of it, but
1:49still 25 carries for Javonte. You're not
1:51going to argue about that volume. He's a
1:53running back one. And then looking at
1:55the receivers, CD Lamb is, in my
1:58opinion, not an S-tier wide receiver
2:00because there's only one S-tier receiver
2:02and that is Jackson Smith-Njigba, but he
2:05is an A-tier wide receiver, right below
2:07that. He's incredible, top five wide
2:09receiver. 12 targets out of 26
2:12potential. George Pickens is going to
2:14give you some massive spikes because the
2:16man is an incredible talent, but it's
2:18not like the floor is going to be super
2:21high. Like if we actually look at the
2:22underlying target volume, you still have
2:25Lamb dominating George Pickens from a
2:27target perspective with Lamb having 12
2:30targets and Pickens having six. So, if
2:33you have George Pickens as your wide
2:35receiver two, you're really excited
2:37about it. You're starting him every
2:38single week, but
2:41if he's your wide receiver one, he's
2:42going to have a lower floor than a lot
2:44of other wide receiver ones just cuz
2:45Lamb sees so many targets. And then the
2:48tight ends aren't interesting at all. If
2:49you add Jake Ferguson, you should've cut
2:51him a while ago. But again, the Dallas
2:53Cowboys it was pretty clear-cut and dry
2:56coming into this game what they were,
2:58and coming out of this game, you can say
3:00the same thing. The Philadelphia Eagles
3:02is where I actually think you have to
3:04make some adjustments now. I am going to
3:06state the obvious here. The Philadelphia
3:09Eagles played against the Dallas Cowboys
3:11defense. I want to remind you that the
3:13Dallas Cowboys have one of the worst
3:16defenses in the entire NFL.
3:19So, when we are looking at any Philly
3:22production, we need to be looking at it
3:24through that context that the Eagles
3:26aren't going to get matchups this good
3:28every single week. But,
3:31at points, certain players did look
3:33good. Saquon Barkley,
3:36he looked dynamic when he had the ball
3:38in his hands. Uh at one point on the
3:40screen, a next gen stat popped up that
3:43Saquon Barkley, I think it was 18.9.
3:45They put it on the broadcast for like 1
3:47second. So, sorry if I get this number
3:50um wrong a little bit. But, Barkley had
3:53like 18.9 mph on one of his runs. And at
3:56the beginning of the game, he looked
3:58like he had juice. But, I think it was
4:00his second carry, like he uh bust off a
4:03decent 15-yard rush if memory serves.
4:07And then he goes right to the sideline
4:08and it looks like he had pulled his
4:10hamstring.
4:11It looked like he was done for the game.
4:14Then the like two plays later he's back
4:16out there and you're like, "Oh, okay. I
4:18guess he's fine." And then throughout
4:20the entire game it would be Saquon
4:22Barkley getting a touch, then Saquon
4:25Barkley looking like he was in a lot of
4:27pain, and then Saquon Barkley going back
4:30to the sidelines. Eventually he just sat
4:33out the rest of the game with what they
4:35called a back injury, but again it
4:37looked like at points that it wasn't a
4:39back, it was his live stream. I'm sorry,
4:42it wasn't his live stream, it was his
4:44hamstring.
4:45So, I don't know. We're going to have to
4:46wait for the practice report. Now, I
4:48always wait to record my Tuesday waiver
4:51wire videos
4:52um very late. I don't want to record
4:54them on Sunday. I don't want to record
4:55them on Monday. I want to make sure you
4:56have the most up-to-date accurate
4:58information with the injuries. So, for
5:00the video that will come out tomorrow
5:02about our waiver wire, we will talk
5:05about Elijah Mitchell in-depth because
5:07Damien Pierce ends up leaving this game
5:10with an injury as well. Elijah Mitchell,
5:13previously San Francisco 49er, it's not
5:15like he's proven much in his NFL career,
5:18but if Barkley and Pierce are injured
5:20and you're playing in a deeper league
5:22like mine that's a 12-team double flex,
5:24hell, any running back that's a starting
5:26running back is probably going to be
5:28worth looking at because the
5:29Philadelphia Eagles had already cut
5:32every other running back like Jayden
5:34Blue that was on their roster outside of
5:37Barkley and Pierce coming into this
5:39game. Elijah Mitchell brought in from
5:41the practice squad.
5:42But keep in mind, Bigsby's injured, Will
5:45Shipley's injured. I believe both
5:46players on the injured reserve, they
5:48definitely are. Now, Damien Pierce is
5:50injured and Saquon Barkley may be
5:53injured {slash} traded. So,
5:55everybody's been wiped away.
5:57Elijah Mitchell, not the most talented
5:59running back in the world, not the best
6:01offense in the world, so I don't want to
6:02try to sell him to you as if he's some
6:04league winner, but he could be worth a
6:06spot start if you're going to be dealing
6:07with the week eight bye because there
6:09are a lot of week eight byes. Let me
6:11make sure um
6:13Chat, can you all let me know, does
6:15Philly have a week eight bye? I don't
6:18think their bye week is until week 10,
6:19right?
6:21Off the top of my head. Let me just
6:22double-check this real quick. Cuz if
6:25their bye week's not until week 10, one,
6:27there is a chance that Barkley somehow
6:28gets traded if a team feels comfortable
6:31with his health. No, I'm sorry. The
6:32Philadelphia Eagles have a week nine
6:35bye. They'll be on bye in week nine. So,
6:38yeah, I mean, it would make I'm sorry.
6:40No, it's a week 10 bye. I was correct.
6:42It's a week 10 bye.
6:43So,
6:44maybe it makes sense for them to just
6:46rest up Barkley if they're not going to
6:47trade him for the next 2 weeks. Again,
6:49why are you going to go out there and
6:50put him
6:52at risk when he clearly is not 100%.
6:56Now, with the pass-catchers, we finally
6:59get the Quez Watkins breakout.
7:02The best ball teams I drafted Quez
7:04Watkins on um that are currently in 12th
7:06place, maybe have just moved up to 11th
7:08place in their leagues.
7:10Like, realistically here for Watkins,
7:14it's difficult to evaluate him going
7:17into the future because yes, he was
7:19frequently targeted. Yes, he is a very
7:22good player, but this game was one in
7:25which they had no running backs left.
7:28And on top of it, they are going up
7:29against one of the worst defenses in the
7:31NFL. And on top of that, you had no
7:33DeVonta Smith.
7:35So, there may be multiple of these three
7:38things changing in the future. One,
7:40maybe Saquon Barkley at some point gets
7:43healthy for the Philadelphia Eagles and
7:45they can run the ball with Barkley a
7:47little bit more often. Or two, maybe
7:49they're going to play against tougher
7:51defenses than the Dallas Cowboys.
7:52That'll definitely happen. Or three,
7:55maybe they don't shut DeVonta Smith down
7:57for the season and maybe they end up
8:00having Smith back next week, 2 weeks
8:02from now. And then obviously that would
8:04put Watkins into a very difficult spot
8:06now. Based on the quotes that we got out
8:09of this coaching staff coming into this
8:11game, it does sound like there is a very
8:13real possibility that Devonta Smith is
8:15getting shut down. Which, if that were
8:17to be the case, Macai Lemon, based on
8:20the talent profile that he had coming
8:22out of USC, very strong player, he
8:24probably would be somebody that's worth
8:26a flex consideration and for sure
8:28somebody that we're going to be talking
8:29about with our waiver wire video. Um
8:32Dallas Goedert, you can say all the same
8:33things we just said about Macai Lemon.
8:35If Devonta Smith comes back, it's going
8:37to be a little bit uglier when it comes
8:39to just the target competition that he's
8:42going to have here in Philly and it's
8:43not going to be this good of a matchup
8:45any given week. And then nobody else is
8:47worth noting here in Philly. Again,
8:49we'll talk about Elijah Mitchell a
8:50little bit more in the waiver wire
8:51video. Um Macai Lemon a little bit more
8:53in the waiver wire video. I know a lot
8:54of y'all already have them rostered in
8:56your leagues. And then um yeah, I don't
8:59think you're ever looking at Hollywood
9:01Brown, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore. None
9:04of them are interesting. Guys Towers was
9:05the tight end they took in the second
9:07round of the NFL draft. This was his
9:09first game being active, but he made
9:11literally no difference at all.
9:13But
9:14um I think that should be it for this
9:18live stream. Obviously, we stream every
9:20single primetime game right after
9:23talking about the impact of things that
9:26change. So, please, if you have not
9:28subscribed to the channel, make sure you
9:29subscribe. I'll be live after next
9:32Thursday night's game and let me pull up
9:34what that Thursday night game's going to
9:36be um because I'm also live on the Flock
9:39League channel watching every single one
9:40of these primetime games. If you're not
9:42joining us for those streams, make sure
9:44you fix your life and do just that. But
9:47um so I want to know what it is. Ooh, it
9:50will be the Packers versus the Carolina
9:53Panthers. I know in my league next week,
9:56I'm going to have Christian Watson and
9:57I'm going to be playing against the team
9:58with Taderal McMillan. So, this will be
10:00an interesting game for me to watch.
10:02Before the Panthers just got blown out
10:05by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, on the
10:07Polymarket app, the Packers had a 60%
10:10chance of winning, and that's now jumped
10:13up to a 65% chance again with the
10:16Panthers getting blown out and losing
10:18their left tackle. Now, obviously, you
10:20can check out any of these markets, you
10:22can find the link to PolyMarketUS in the
10:24description, in the comments section, in
10:26the live chat. If you sign up with promo
10:28code Flock, you'll get $25 out of your
10:30account after you deposit your first 10.
10:33But, I think that's all I got for y'all.
10:34I really appreciate you, and I hope we
10:36get to see y'all in the live stream
10:37tomorrow, and I can answer some of your
10:39fantasy
