Insight page

Dalton Kincaid

NegativeProjection28:38

Ranked 4th among tight ends in PlayerProfiler's Week 8 rankings. The source notes significant volatility in Kincaid's performance: he was top-5 tight end in weeks 1-2 (TE4, TE6) but then 'fell off a cliff precipitously.' The source describes a 'push pull' dynamic where Kincaid alternates between looking like a sell candidate and then performing well, creating a 'Travis Kelsey 2.0' narrative tied to Josh Allen's high-octane offense.

Insight page

Insight page

Josh Downs

NegativeValue27:08

Ranked 23rd in WR tiers by PlayerProfiler, but the source expresses skepticism about this ranking, calling it 'wish casting' and 'too high.'

PositiveProjection12:56

Josh Jacobs plays tonight (RB8 ranking) against Carolina Panthers, ranked 32nd vs. run; Panthers haven't allowed a 100-yard rushing game this season, but the source is bullish on Jacobs and also wants him to throw a touchdown pass or two to Tucker Kraft.

Insight page

Justin Herbert

NegativeProjection7:20

Justin Herbert is ranked QB23 in a neutral tier described as 'purgatory'—neither good nor bad; the source characterizes this as a dramatic fall from grace in fantasy football, reflecting his diminished production and appeal this season.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

NegativeProjection4:03

Jefferson has underperformed relative to his one-two turn draft price; he's had down weeks and hasn't hit the way expected. The source attributes this partly to quarterback competency—Kirk Cousins and T.J. Hockenson facilitated the ball well, but Kyler Murray is not facilitating as much as hoped, leaving fantasy managers weary despite still plugging him in every week.

Insight page

Kenneth Walker is ranked among the top three running backs this week, with the source favoring him over Jameer Gibbs at the top tier due to a more favorable matchup than the Vikings defense.

PositiveProjection7:12

The source loves Kyle Pitts this week, indicating confidence in his performance in the matchup against Tampa Bay.

Insight page
PositiveMatchup33:00

The source ranks Kyle Pitts at 7 and is way divergent from Player Profiler's ranking of 20; the source is very bullish on Pitts against Tampa Bay, noting that he is only good against the Buccaneers and ranks him very high on weeks he plays them. The source calls this 'national tight end week for Kyle Pitts' and believes he should be ranked higher, potentially above Tyler Higbee and possibly underneath Dallas Goddert, with the potential for a 40-point game.

Insight page
PositiveProjection34:07

Ranked 7th at tight end with upside to score 40 points; source recommends firing him up and suggests he should rank above Tyler Higby and potentially Dallas Goddard due to ceiling potential.

Insight page

Kyler Murray

NegativeProjection1:08

PlayerProfiler ranks Kyler Murray at 16th among quarterbacks for Week 8; hosts Pete and Coach Jeremiah both rank him at 14th. Faces Detroit Lions defense ranked 32nd against quarterbacks with a high over-under game total. Coach Jeremiah projects 16.4 fantasy points, in line with PlayerProfiler's 17.2 projection. Despite a favorable matchup, Jeremiah has difficulty placing him in the top 12, noting his rushing ability provides ceiling upside but he lacks the passing production to reliably finish as a QB1. Jeremiah was not impressed with his performance coming out of the bye week against a terrible defense.

Insight page
PositiveProjection4:00

The source is firing up Kyler Murray in rankings, indicating confidence in his week. Despite concerns about his facilitation for Jefferson, the source is actively recommending Murray in their personal rankings.

Insight page

Lamar Jackson

PositiveProjection8:42

Lamar Jackson is ranked QB1 overall for this week; the source personally projects him to 'come back in roaring fashion' against the Buffalo Bills, who rank 29th in defense against the quarterback position; the Ravens-Bills game has an over-under of 54.5 with Baltimore favored by three points, setting up a potential shootout.

Insight page

Luther Burden

PositiveProjection24:57

The source ranks Luther Burden at 17 overall and suggests rolling him back after a big week last week, noting a decent matchup and over/under of 47.5 as reasons to continue playing him.

Insight page

Malik Willis

PositiveUsage7:17

Rushing volume has ramped up for Malik Willis post-bye week, a notable change from pre-bye patterns; with Devon Achane sidelined by injury, Ali Gordon has emerged as a utility option in the Dolphins attack, potentially creating additional offensive opportunities for Willis.

Insight page
PositiveRole7:27

Malik Willis is ranked 22nd and faces New England in a tougher matchup. However, his rushing has ramped up post-bye week, which wasn't seen pre-bye. The source hopes adjustments have been made to continue the rushing production. Post-Devon Henry injury, Ali Gordon has crushed, potentially providing utility in the attack game for Willis.

Insight page

Marcus Mariota

Ranked 6th among quarterbacks in PlayerProfiler's Week 8 rankings; coming back from injury.

The source ranks Tee Higgins 15th overall and notes he can absolutely outscore Ja'Marr Chase any given week, expressing love for his upside in the Bengals offense.

Insight page

Terrance Ferguson

NegativeDepth Chart31:30

The source notes that Terrence Ferguson is expected to return, adding to the complexity of the Rams tight end room and making it even more difficult to predict who will produce.

Insight page

Travis Kelce

NegativeMatchup28:48

Insight page

Tyler Higbee

NegativeRole31:19

The source notes that Tyler Higbee is part of the Rams tight end room uncertainty, where production could come from Davis Allen, Colby Parkinson, or Higbee himself; Terrence Ferguson is also expected to return, making the Rams tight end position unpredictable but likely to produce goodness from someone in the room.

Insight page

Tyler Warren

NegativeRole30:10

The source addresses the narrative that Tyler Warren and Colson Loveland cannot both be good, stating 'both can be true or both players are hoopers and ballers.' This suggests the source rejects the zero-sum comparison between Warren and Loveland, implying both can contribute meaningfully in their respective offenses.

Insight page
NegativeRole30:30

The source notes that both Colson Loveland and Tyler Warren can be productive players; the comparison suggests both are capable performers in their respective offenses.

0:00What's going on Player Profiler Nation? We got Josh Jacobs and the Packers, Carolina Panthers tonight.
0:06We're going to break down all our rankings for week.
0:09Take your questions right here. Welcome in folks. Thank you guys so much for joining.
0:14I am your host Pete. I'm joined by Coach Jeremiah, aka The Man, The Myth, The Legend.
0:20He did hold down the show last week by himself.
0:24We are back in the saddle pre-Thursday Night Football.
0:27We got all your questions in the chat. We will answer them as well as go over the Play Profiler Rankings.
0:35Let's get to the quarterbacks first. Play Profiler Rankings for the quarterbacks.
0:39Yep, and I'll make them a little bit larger here as we speak through it.
0:44We've got Josh Allen at one, Dak Prescott two, JD five, three, Drake May four, Burrow five.
0:50Mars coming back. He's at six, Jared Goff seven, Jacoby Brissett, great matchup against Dallas eight, Trevor Lawrence off the by versus the Colts.
0:59Nine, Matthew Stafford gets the lowly chargers at 10.
1:02Jordan Love at 11, Baker Mayfield at 12. Pete, you and I were talking pre-show just kind of like, hey, who kind of sticks out to us?
1:11Who's somebody who might be a little bit volatile as far as rankings go?
1:16One of the players that comes to mind that we spoke of is Kyler Murray.
1:22Player Profiler, we have him at 16. You and I respectively have Kyler Murray at 14.
1:27At Detroit, high over under total game. Detroit is 32nd versus the quarterback.
1:32I just want to pitch the idea. We're hearing some rumors that are out there and their rumors until they happen, right?
1:40Uh, Daniel Jones could be Kirk cousins. Could there be an acquisition at the quarterback position six and oh, Minnesota Vikings, but not because of Kyler.
1:49And there's maybe some regret that the Vikings let go Sam Darnold.
1:53They let go Daniel Jones. Well, who of those two could they get back?
1:58So all of this is just speculation in the background.
2:01It's a distraction. It's noise. The way it becomes not a distraction is by good play on the field.
2:08I've got Kyler Murray, you and I both at 14.
2:12We see a good week. It's a green matchup.
2:15What say you on Kyler Murray? Should people be confident in starting him?
2:20Yeah, Kyler is in a situation against the Detroit defense who, uh, you know, has struggled this year.
2:26I mean, I don't have to, I don't have to be a fantasy analyst, uh, to tell you that.
2:33I mean, you guys are smart enough to know that.
2:36Um, but I mean, this is a Detroit defense that does get Brian branch back, which I think is a big, big
2:44ad, Jay on the back end for this defense.
2:47Um, I think that should definitely help. Uh, in this game, I mean, I have trouble putting him into the top 12.
2:55Some people do have him there. Uh, his rushing ability definitely gives him a higher ceiling.
3:00I'm not really comfortable relying on that to get to that quarter one QB one finish, which I don't think he has that ceiling this week.
3:10Um, to be completely honest with you, I kind of projected for 16.4 fantasy points, which is pretty in line with what.
3:17Got that 17.2. Um, it's really whether or not like he can generate enough passing production to give us that strong performance.
3:25Um, he certainly had an upside up and down season so far, and he hasn't really given us many playable weeks for fantasy.
3:33Um, we'll see if this is a game where he breaks out because it's.
3:38Offense needs it, but I will say I was not very.
3:42He impressed Jay coming out of a by week last week.
3:46That's a terrible defense. at your time. Prepare. Uh, Pete is having a little bit of difficulty with his audio and his mic a little bit more talk.
3:56I'll go back to just continuation of the Kyler Murray discourse.
4:00Well, I surmise that there's a little bit of a.
4:03Degree where it's, it's Justin Jefferson. Justin Jefferson wants to be happy.
4:08He's kind of unhappy. He's had some down weeks and he hasn't really hit the way you want, especially at the one, two turn price point.
4:17Still, you're plugging in Justin Jefferson every single week.
4:20But tied to that is quarterback competency. When it was Kirk cousins, it was no issue for.
4:26T.J. Hawkinson. It was no issue, of course, for Justin Jefferson.
4:30And now that you have somebody like. Kyler Murray, he's not really facilitating the ball as much as we would hope.
4:37For Justin Jefferson. It leaves people weary and I am absolutely firing up.
4:42Kyler Murray. When we look over to in these standings in the rankings.
4:46Bryce Young plays tonight at 14. I think that's a great matchup.
4:51A get right spot for Carolina, even though Green Bay doesn't necessarily give up explosive plays.
4:56There could be some middle of the field open and underneath options for Bryce Young.
5:02Maybe a little bit more from a Chuba Hubbard perspective.
5:05But I really do like him. He's there ranked 14th.
5:09I have Bryce Young ranked 10th personally. As we go down, you have Aaron Rodgers 17.
5:14This is QB two territory. Patrick Mahomes at 18.
5:18Just so you all know. The game total on that.
5:21Last I saw 40 and a half. Maybe it's moved a point or so.
5:26But 40 and a half. We're expecting low over unders.
5:30I recommended Harrison Bucker on the defensive and kickers show.
5:33And alternatively, if it is Justin Tucker, whoever the kicker is.
5:37I want the Kansas City Chiefs kicker. Patrick Mahomes.
5:40He's there at 18. So just a middle version of a QB two.
5:45Darnold against the Bears. Jeffrey Simmons is coming. And even though you have Quentin Nelson, who knows what's going to happen for Sam Darnold.
5:53A little bit of a tougher matchup there just in the last 48 hours with the trade.
5:59But you have to understand 47 and a half over under total.
6:03I think this game could really lift and shoot out, especially if Caleb on the other side is pushing tempo.
6:10So we might get a really good shoot out there.
6:14Of course, you're firing up JSN. And let's go to Deshaun Watson, 20th.
6:19That Pittsburgh game, last I remember, 39 and a half over under.
6:23I recommended both defenses. That's where we're at. I do like the utility of Casey Concepcion.
6:28Maybe you fire up some Quenchaun Judkins. If you have to in Superflex, of course, you'll start some Deshaun Watson.
6:36Just pretty funny looking at the standings today. The Cleveland Browns are at the top of the standings.
6:42I can't believe it. You can't believe it. But our fellow co-hosts that we've had on the show before, Wyatt Bertalone, he's ecstatic.
6:50So I love the news for him that the Browns are doing well.
6:55But fancy wise, I don't think it's going to be too bright for the Browns.
7:00And I didn't intentionally say that. That just worked out.
7:03Michael Penix Jr., his name has been thrown around in jest plenty this week.
7:08So we shall see against Tampa Bay. A little hint.
7:12I do love Kyle Pitts this week. Malik Willis, we have him at 22.
7:17I guess New England a little bit of a tougher matchup.
7:21But the rushing has ramped up for Malik Willis, which we didn't see pre-bye week.
7:26So hopefully there's been adjustments and we just get that rushing goodness from Malik Willis.
7:31Post Devon HN injury, Ali Gordon has crushed. So maybe that can be a utility in the attack game for Malik Willis and the Dolphins.
7:40Justin Herbert at 23. I mean, we just kind of have him there, right?
7:45We're not excited. It's kind of like purgatory. It's not so good.
7:49It's not so bad. It's not so good. It's just, it's Justin Herbert.
7:54What a fall from grace in the fantasy land.
7:57Personal life. Poof. The dude is doing great. I would probably take a shit too at my job if I had dated Madison Beer.
8:06So it is what it is. Bo Nix, 24.
8:09We like the idea of him having a comeback.
8:12But the problem is the way his schedule is set up, his easy matchups are so spread out.
8:18It's like every other week. I was looking at it the other day.
8:23This week, getting the Kansas City Chiefs, not a plus matchup.
8:27In week one, if you recall, it was just under six fantasy points for Bo Nix.
8:32So, nope. Don't love that, as Michael Scott would say.
8:36And then at the very top, I personally have Lamar Jackson as QB1 overall this week.
8:42I think he comes back in roaring fashion. The Bills are 29th against the quarterback position.
8:47And I do personally have my rankings. I have Josh Allen QB2.
8:52So I'm looking at the shootout aspect of that Bills and that Ravens game.
8:56And then looking at the over-under, it is 54.5.
9:00Wild. At Buffalo, minus three. I'm very excited about Jacoby Lane.
9:04Very excited about, say, Flowers. Like Lamar Jackson is back.
9:07Like, go crazy, folks. We are so excited. So we love to see it.
9:12And let's see. I think we're about 10 minutes in.
9:16Let's throw you a little ad here. And they'll come right back.
9:20At Player Profile, we love Dynasty. We love Seasonal Leagues.
9:23We love DFS. We love it all. And finally, a game exists that combines everything into one.
9:29In Dynasty, you want shares of players for their careers.
9:33Sport.fun has that. We want to beat our friends this Sunday and for the full season.
9:39Well, Sport.fun has that as well. Because Sport.fun is a fantasy sports trading game where your knowledge of NFL player performances this
9:46week, this season, and for their career matters. So I like to acquire the depressed assets that I know will increase in
9:54value, specifically players that are working through injuries. You get those players when they're on the upswing.
10:00Ride them. Cash them out. Do it again. Ride them up.
10:04Cash them out. Do it again. It's a place you build a long-term portfolio, but you win weekly.
10:10Just like a Dynasty team. If you sign up for a Sport.fun account now with a link in the description, you build
10:18a portfolio, you hold it for three weeks, and they'll give you a 50% rewards bonus.
10:24We have a channel for it in the Discord.
10:27It's going to be a good time. Pretty, pretty good.
10:30As Larry David would say, we got the quarterbacks.
10:34Now we've got the running back position. As we check it out, player profiler, Jameer Gibbs, Kenneth Walker, Bijon Robinson.
10:41Pretty familiar site, right? At the top three. That's where I differentiate.
10:45I've got Ken Walker, Bijon, and then Jameer Gibbs.
10:48I just favor putting Gibbs to three for the fact that it is the Minnesota Vikings defense.
10:54They're just a top tier defense. They're first against a running back position.
10:59You are absolutely firing up Jameer Gibbs without a doubt.
11:02There's no issue with that. Just temper expectations for what Jameer Gibbs is.
11:07If that makes sense. So you could absolutely ballistically go off, but I would see maybe a path to 20 points.
11:14And you're cool with that, but you're not going to get like the 35 or the 40 burger from Jameer Gibbs.
11:22And Kenneth Walker. He's my RB one this week overall at Denver 22nd versus a running back position.
11:28And then continuing on for player profiler, Jonathan Taylor at or Karen Williams five chase Brown six.
11:34I love this ranking of chase Brown at six.
11:37Shout out to the pod father mixing these all up.
11:41I have chase Brown at 15 against the Tennessee Titans.
11:44They're 19th versus a running back. So somewhat middling, not like the worst, but definitely not the best.
11:51And you just lost Joffrey Simmons at the defensive tackle spot.
11:54Chase Brown fire him up. And I love this going to six.
11:59I thought I was trying to be bullish on chase Brown having him at 15, but player profilers ranks at six.
12:06I love the aggression. It may be a little bit too aggressive, but I absolutely see it happening.
12:12Just a great week. Fire up chase Brown. Javante at seven.
12:16Josh Jacobs plays tonight at eight. The Carolina Panthers.
12:20Pete and I were talking about it before the show 32nd against running back position.
12:25Backers haven't had a hundred yard rushing game this season.
12:28Like it all is going to align for Josh Jacobs personally for reasons.
12:33I want Josh Jacobs to throw a touchdown pass or two to Tucker craft.
12:38Have them both going tonight. I'm bullish on them both.
12:41Bucky Irving nine. Derek Henry 10. James cook is 11.
12:45I happen to have Derek Henry fourth overall. Buffalo is 30th against the run.
12:50You get Lamar Jackson back. I just can't be bearish on Derek Henry.
12:55I know people get frustrated if there's like a first and 10 and it's like a second and nine, but this is Derek Henry.
13:03We're getting into November. We're almost to D Hember.
13:06The season wears on. He gets better. I love him this week in this matchup.
13:11So I'm a little bit tempered different, more bullish on Derek Henry.
13:16And hey, if you're going to jam in chase Brown six to my Derek Henry four players got to go somewhere.
13:23Right? So that's where rankings can diverge. James cook back end RB one in this game.
13:29So got same game matchup. Henry and cook player profiler back to back.
13:33Ashton Janty is here at 12. I have him 11.
13:37So I'm very aligned with player profiler ranks. I think he's just going to feast this week and he's been talking it up.
13:45Ashton Janty was talking some junk about a there's going to be there's guys who I won't say who don't want to tackle.
13:53So Pete, what do you make of Ashton Janty and Jets players not wanting to tackle?
13:59Is that something you would do to your opponent or do you not care because it's Ashton Janty?
14:05Well, if coming from Janty, it's pretty bad. It's it's probably probably it's a lot of tough talk to be saying those
14:13kinds of things when the Raiders don't like to tackle much either.
14:17If you look at their run defense, by the way, disclaimer, if my mic starts messing up one more time, I'll probably pull the plug guys.
14:26So I do apologize. If you just see me go off screen, that means that, you know, that that means J said, hey, Pete, this mic's not working.
14:36So hopefully it's working now for a little bit.
14:39J is a good. Sorry, sorry, Pete, it started cutting.
14:43And he tried to do the best effort, play through the pain.
14:47We just got some mic issues, audio issues. Shout out to Pete.
14:51I love you, man. I miss you so much.
14:55It's been a couple of weeks. He and I have been off our schedule and we're having some audio difficulty tonight.
15:02I'm reading through the rest of these running backs.
15:05Bajal Tootin at 13. Great matchup off the by against the Indianapolis Colts.
15:10I have Bajal Tootin 14. So again, I'm aligned with player profiler here.
15:14I see just a bullish second half of the season for the Jaguars.
15:19I like if you look at the schedule, it's very bullish.
15:23A lot of green matchups for all positions. Brenton Strange, Tootin, Trevor Lawrence, Parker Washington.
15:28All of a sudden there's like this quad of Jaguars players that, you know, kind of like the Lions.
15:35Lions have their quad of Amon Ra, Gibbs, Laporta, Jared Goff.
15:39I kind of see a little bit south version of the Jaguars post by week for them.
15:45So Bajal Tootin, I think he's just going to creep up the ranks.
15:49Jalen Warren has been on Enfuego. Little tougher matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
15:54So 14, I think is absolutely justified in this rank for Jalen Warren.
15:59I happen to have him nine though. The Cleveland Browns are eighth against a running back position.
16:05So you're going to have to get it from the PPR utility, which Jalen Warren can absolutely do.
16:11Brees Hall at 15. You have to fire him up.
16:14You will fire him up shy of if there's some kind of a trade between now and Sunday.
16:21I want Brees Hall in my lineup. You're desperate if you've had him sitting on your bench.
16:27It's a high quality pick that you've had probably round three when you got Brees Hall.
16:32So it's definitely hurt. And then if you didn't have Braylon Allen, you've absolutely suffered tangentially, convergently, divergently, whatever phrase you want to use.
16:41If you had Braylon Allen, like y'all free money, man.
16:44Saquon Barkley, middling RB two against Washington. I have him as a little bit of a fade this week.
16:51Saquon Barkley, everything. It's like that meme where there's a fire and you're like, hey, this is fine.
16:58But there's a complete fire around Saquon Barkley. It's just not set up good.
17:02And it's a low over under total game. If I'm checking over, if I'm scrolling down Washington, it's a 40 and a
17:10half over under commanders by five and a half.
17:13If Saquon Barkley skill set, he is a game script proof.
17:17But it is just not looking good for Saquon Barkley.
17:21So it makes sense here that we have him just a middling RB two, because how can you really rank Saquon Barkley
17:29so high with all that's going on? And it seems like he's going to play.
17:34But he pulled up a little bit on that first play on Monday Night Football, the hamstring and then something about his back hurting.
17:42And then he could get traded. So it could get good real soon.
17:47But right now ain't nothing wrong, but something ain't right.
17:50Chuba Hubbard 17 against the Packers tonight. He's just been the best value pick from what round eight, round nine when you got him.
17:59Just a great pick and touchdown equity all there.
18:02From Andre Stevenson 18, Yandre Swift 19. Jeremiah Love.
18:05I love this ranking of Jeremiah Love 20th. I think he could go a little bit higher.
18:11I'm trying to see. I have him 17th versus Cowboys.
18:15They're 26 versus a running back position. If there's help, I just see Jeremiah Love going off.
18:21And he looked like people were saying, hey, Adrian Peterson in the preseason when he got way too many carries.
18:28This ankle injury I've been told has to do stems from the preseason misuse.
18:33You hate to see it, but you'd love to see Jeremiah Love against the Dallas Cowboys.
18:39You've been waiting. This is the time it's going to happen for shot.
18:43White looks like he's going to have the lion's share carry share in the Washington offense.
18:49They're coming off a bye week against Philadelphia Eagles.
18:52Good matchup. Yeah, I love that. Which on Johnkins again low over under total game, but he's looked very spry, very good.
19:00It's been encouraging for Quinn Sean Johnkins last few weeks.
19:03Ollie Gordon 23 overall. He's been the perfect. He'll be like what are be 14 15 16 payoff, but he's getting you
19:11quality points in your RB to position. And if you had to Bonnie Chan, you got Ollie Gordon.
19:17You're happy if you happen to have other healthier running backs and then you're inserting.
19:23You know you're taking away from your other league mate who has to Bonnie Chan and you have Ollie Gordon.
19:30You're thriving. You're winning matchups that you shouldn't. You get in that extra play that extra push that wind at your back in Ollie Gordon.
19:39Jordan Mason rounds out the top 24. Blake Corham.
19:42I'll say I think he could be a little bit higher.
19:46And then if we get Zach Charbonnet Zach Charbonnet ought to be a little bit higher too.
19:52Uh, but we have to get full confirmation for real this time that he is going to play.
19:58So let's go over to the receiver position and talk about what we got going on here.
20:04Scrolling up to the top Puken Nakuwa very common name.
20:08One overall you have projected points. He's 24.8. I'm on Ross St.
20:12Brown to CD lamb three. JSN four. So this is where I disagree.
20:16And Zay Flowers is five. Jamar Chase is six.
20:20My top six. It's JSN. Jamar Chase getting the Tennessee Titans.
20:23The Titans are 26 versus receiver position. Puken Nakuwa is 13th against the wide receiver position.
20:29So I have him just a little bit lower.
20:32He's third to me versus player profilers one. So a little bit divergence there.
20:37Nobody that we're benching, right? I'm on raw at five.
20:41I push him down from two. Normally he makes my top five, but this is a Minnesota Vikings defense.
20:47They're fourth against the receiver position. Brian Flores, 85% blitz rate last week.
20:52Just insane. And I imagine you're going to get a lot of the same.
20:57Vikings defense. I still think you roll them out there, but expect more of a floor game from them.
21:04But at the same time, expect somewhat of a floor game from some of these Lions players.
21:10I had mentioned talking about Jameer Gibbs and that matchup.
21:13Absolute studs. Start your studs as Matthew Barry always would say, no matter what, but at the same time, maybe not a 40 burger.
21:22Come back and talk to me if he does get a 40 burger because one, I'll be happily wrong in two.
21:29The teams I have on, I'll be ecstatic. I'll be thrilled.
21:33But that's how it's looking at right now. March 8 at six.
21:37I totally disagree with. I've got him at two.
21:40I don't know how he doesn't feast this week.
21:44It's just a bananas matchup. Unless you attest ascribed to.
21:47Well, the Bengals just don't get going until later in the game for no reason at all.
21:53Right? Drake London at seven. Justin Jefferson eight. I love Justin Jefferson this week.
21:58I have him eighth as well. 30th against a receiver position are the Detroit Lions and going over looking for the Minnesota
22:06Vikings over under total 46 and a half minus three and a half for the Lions at home favored.
22:13That is a lower total. So it's been like 50 plus over under for the Detroit Lions.
22:19So that is a little bit of a dive on the points.
22:23But again, I think I'd want the over in that.
22:26So right now the over is minus one Oh four.
22:30Nothing crazy. Nothing crazy on that price. But there it is.
22:34Ted or McMillan who plays tonight. Ninth overall Christian Watson.
22:37So we've got some game on game action for tonight.
22:41McMillan versus Watson. George Pickens 11 got in the end zone, but man, it's been tough a little bit.
22:48There's been some weeks where I'm like, are you just not throwing?
22:52Are you freezing out George Pickens? Like what's going to happen with this contract?
22:57Just just some things I wonder about curiosities. Matthew Golden.
23:00Hey, we've entered Packers receivers got two in the top 12 or maybe high wide receiver to range.
23:07At least this is like chasing Higgins. This is what you want.
23:11This is like Amon Ra and Jameson Williams sometimes where you get multiple receivers in that top section in that top area of the ranking.
23:20Same thing. Now look one underneath at 13 Jalen Coker and you have Ted or McMillan.
23:25So nine and 13 are Ted or McMillan and Jalen Coker.
23:29I love this rank. I have Ted or McMillan 11.
23:33So I got to look back at my Coker ranking.
23:36I don't think I have him high enough down week last week, but you're rolling with him.
23:42Pete and I are rolling out Jalen Coker in our NFFC 350 football guys.
23:47Lead. We're confident he's in the receiver spot. Michael Wilson.
23:51Very bullish on him. Shev and I are going to do a show on FFD favorites and fades.
23:57Please tune into that. The favorite of one of our receivers is Michael Wilson.
24:02Just a bananas matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Common theme playing the Cowboys.
24:07You're rolling these guys out. T Higgins 15th overall.
24:10We spoke to the Chase Higgins pair. T Higgins could absolutely outscore Jamar Chase any week.
24:15We know how good he is. I love it for the Bengals.
24:20You're ecstatic. And speaking of ecstatic, how happy are we that Parker Washington is back?
24:25Just life is good. I was thinking about it like you're in lineups.
24:30You're in managed leads. You're like, oh, I can win this week because I have Parker Washington in my lineup.
24:37He's back. That's how good you feel. You're excited.
24:40Sometimes you just kind of watch your lineup and just kind of stare there for a little bit like, oh, yeah, I'm excited about the point projection.
24:49Parker Washington. You're just like people say you roster bait, right?
24:53Love Parker Washington. And then Luther Burden 17. Big week last week.
24:57And why not have the continuation? It's kind of like a addiction.
25:02Once you see Luther Burden go off like he did, you kind of think, hey, let's go back and run it back.
25:09And football doesn't always work out that way. But yes, good matchup in a decent over under game 47 and a half Garrett Wilson 18.
25:18Will he the question is, what's going to happen?
25:21Will he get squeaky wheel treatment? Omar Cooper has been crushing all this to test to the fact that Jets redraft and
25:29in dynasty their arrow is going up. I saw something where the three first round picks that the Jets have are something like eight, nine and 11.
25:39It's like two of them are in the top 10 and one of them is just outside the top 10.
25:46Tremendous as John Madden would say phenomenal. A.J. Brown 19.
25:49We got to monitor what's going on with practice.
25:53I wonder if he's getting his knee drained again.
25:56I think it's knee or ankle. He sat out.
25:59Not something you're fully concerned about, but with how the play has been going, you know, normally you wouldn't be concerned, but
26:07with the way the play has been, you are absolutely concerned about A.J.
26:11Brown, but you're still firing up. I know it's kind of like a, like a lost cause.
26:17It feels like, or you're, you're chasing your losses or whatever it is.
26:22Catching a falling knife. I'm still rolling out A.J.
26:25Brown where I have him. Carnell Tate. Monitor something going on with his shoulder.
26:30Alec A. Manor is free right now. He's somebody that I would stash in the event.
26:36He would get the run and it's a decent matchup with when, which could be a shootout.
26:42Against the Cincinnati Bengals. Throw mode, catch up mode.
26:45I recommended, and I know Pete is high on the Bengals as well.
26:49I recommended on the streamer show defenses and kickers.
26:53The Bengals defense. You're just doing that against the Titans.
26:56It's just like a hack cheat code. You know, don't even.
27:00Oh, who's playing the Titans. That's going to be our defensive streamer.
27:04Chris Godwin at 21. TK Metcalf 22. Josh Downs at 23.
27:08I don't know about Josh Downs at 23. I think that's pretty.
27:12I'm, I'm against that. I think that's too high.
27:16I think that's a little bit of wish casting, but we've been high on him.
27:21Josh Downs at player profiler. So I understand the logic.
27:24The rationale. Opportunity is there. Damn it. Why not?
27:28Come on. And we'll see. Josh Downs. Hopefully he gets traded.
27:31I don't think the Colts are the best. Fit for him.
27:35As we have not seen his potential fully realized.
27:39Jameson Williams rounds out the top 24. 46 and a half over under.
27:43We spoke to. In the dome. Like the lions are still somewhat matchup proof, but this is going to put a test
27:51to the run that Jameson Williams has been on.
27:54So those are your top 24 for player profiler.
27:57Let's do one more ad and we'll end up with our tight ends.
28:02You know, I get asked is AI ruining fantasy sports.
28:05And the answer is absolutely not. We've had consensus rankings available for a long time, but people subscribe to the player rankings
28:13at player profiler.com for super flex tight end premium best ball, even offensive line rankings.
28:18Of course, your rookie rankings, your dynasty rankings are all available in the ranking service for player profiler.com password protected to the bots can't get to it.
28:28And you can maintain your edge and use code pod father for $5 off.
28:33Woo. It's a good deal. All right, here we go to the Titus of ends.
28:38We have Trey McBride at one Brock Bowers to Sam Laporta three Dalton Kincaid or at fire move five.
28:45Me personally, my top five right now. Trey McBride, Brock Bowers, Tucker craft.
28:50Please go off tonight. Dear God, if you're listening, help Travis Kelsey for.
28:54I guess Denver Broncos are 23rd against the tight end.
28:58And I have Dallas Goddard fifth. You might have to drug test me.
29:02I will pass. I promise you can still test me, but Washington 31st versus the tight end.
29:08If we get any kind of slapdick amount of play from Tanner McKee, it's going to be just the underneath to somebody like Dallas Goddard.
29:17I will see if Devonta Smith is able to play.
29:21And of course, we're monitoring what's going on with Saquon Barkley.
29:24Again, it's one of those things where it's like the meme.
29:28Everything is fine, but everything around you isn't really good.
29:32But what could be good is just quick hitters to Dallas Goddard.
29:36Going down the player profiler ranks. Dalton Kincaid, though, just a note on that.
29:41He was, I think, top five tight end the first two weeks, like tight end four, tight end six.
29:48And then it fell off a cliff precipitously. And we thought, hey, we're here.
29:53And it's just been this push pull with Dalton Kincaid where you're like, oh, man, I should have sold him.
30:00But then he goes off and you're like, oh, I'm keeping him because it's just going to be like Travis Kelsey 2.0.
30:08It's going to be tied to Josh Allen. High octane offense.
30:11Like a drug, man. It's just so good. Pat Frymuth here, though, is fifth.
30:16Kelsey six. Colson Loveland seven. Back at it. Back at being confident, too, with Colson Loveland.
30:22You love to see it. And I've always been somebody who has been.
30:27I've taken issue with Colson Loveland truthers who have to be like, hey, because Colson Loveland is good.
30:33Tyler Warren sucks in his ass. Like both can be true or both players are hoopers and ballers.
30:39And me personally, I acknowledge how good Colson Loveland is.
30:43And I just love what's going on with the Bears.
30:46They're pushing all in to win. So from a real NFL and fantasy angle.
30:51How can you not get romantic about NFL football and fantasy football when it comes to the Bears?
30:58Tucker Craft at eight. Again, for reasons, I want Josh Jacobs to throw him a touchdown pass or two tonight.
31:05Fire up some Tucker Craft against Carolina. I think this is just a great matchup.
31:10He's there at eight. And I have him third personally.
31:14So I'm very high on Tucker Craft. Let's see and hope that comes to fruition tonight.
31:19Tyler Higbee at nine. It's the Rams roulette. And that's really what's going on with the tight end position.
31:26It could be Davis Allen. It could be Colby Parkinson.
31:30It could be Tyler Higbee. It's really tough. Terrence Ferguson is going to come back.
31:35It's a lot to slice up and predict. But there's one thing, you know, it kind of similar to the Broncos backfield.
31:43You know, you're going to get goodness from the Rams tight end room.
31:47You just don't know who it's going to be.
31:50And I know that can be aggravating. I mean, Dallas Goddard 10.
31:55Again, it's divergent for me. I have him fifth player profiler 10 still a respectable ranking a tight end one, which on
32:02the bearish angle, if you want to go bearish angle on Dallas Goddard, you could just say it's a slapdick operation with Tanner McGee.
32:11Things are falling apart for Philadelphia Eagles. Chico Conquo at 11.
32:15I like that play. I like him at 11.
32:18I have him 16. The Eagles are seventh against the tight end position, but the bullish angle on Chico Conquo is for
32:26the fact that, okay, he could be the number two option in the passing game to Stefan Diggs.
32:32I love Antonio Williams. I'm a proponent of Antonio Williams, but at the same time, I do have to look and see.
32:40It could be Chico Conquo. There's that, hey, I could be wrong exercise.
32:44And if you're wrong and you have Chico Conquo, there's worse things than happen.
32:49Chico Conquo in your lineup and being wrong about your outlook on him and him going off on your team.
32:56Kate Otten at 12. I'm trying to see where is Kyle Pitts.
33:01Kyle Pitts is all the way down at 20.
33:04See, that's crazy. I have Kyle Pitts at seven at Tampa Bay 25th versus the tight end, but I could have stopped
33:12at before the ranking with Kyle Pitts because it's Tampa Bay.
33:15This is like the Jonah Hill mean prison money ball.
33:19It's like Kyle Pitts is a good tight end, except the only thing is he's only good against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
33:27So look twice a year. You get this and twice a year.
33:31I'm going to rank Kyle Pitts very high on the week.
33:35He plays the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. So I'm way divergent.
33:38I like big disagree here to Kyle Pitts needs to be higher, but player profiler.
33:44We have him 20. I'm having faith. I'm even to the point where I think Drake London will have a good game.
33:51National tight end week was last week, but this week it will be national tight end week for Kyle Pitts.
33:59That's my hot take there. Mark Andrews. So Kyle Pitts should at least be up by 12 in same game against Kate on shit, man.
34:07Yeah, way up, man. Come on. Come on, man.
34:11So I have him seven. So I think he should be above in the rankings here of somebody like Tyler Higby.
34:18Maybe you put him underneath Dallas Goddard because you can get a 40 burger from Kyle Pitts.
34:24So ignore the noise. Fire up your Kyle Pitts.
34:27Brenton Strange 14th coming off the bye week. Again, we talked about that quadrant of Jacksonville players at each respective skill position kind of being like the lions.
34:37I'm feeling it and MVP odds. Trevor Lawrence hovers depending on where you're shopping plus a thousand 10 to one.
34:44I like the idea of MVP opportunity for Trevor Lawrence down the stretch.
34:49If you talk about good value, if you want to lay something down, you're not going to get good value on Brock
34:56Purdy and Josh Allen who are up at the top right now where you get great value.
35:02And we're not talking about Walmart. It is in the MVP race.
35:07Trevor Lawrence. Harold Fannin Jr. is at 16. Hunter Henry 17.
35:11Mason Taylor 18. Mason Taylor is getting a little bit better than Kenyon Sadiq as far as production right now.
35:18And it's delayed, not denied on Kenyon Sadiq. We may love the prospect profile of Kenyon Sadiq, but if Geno Smith, the connection is there for Mason Taylor.
35:28It justifies his ranking. Darren Waller 19. Hey, he's still got it.
35:32He's just not like week over week, like guarantee, but still has game and you love to see it.
35:39We already covered Kyle Pitts. AJ Barner is there at 21.
35:42A little bit of uptick in usage. Decent over under total game.
35:47So I can see that path. Michael Mayer against the Jets.
35:51Again, beyond Trey Tucker, I think the Raiders really need help at receiver, but if they're not going to, hey, there's worse
35:58things than you having to patch in somebody like Michael Mayer.
36:02Charlie Kolar is 23rd. I'm not with that. I don't do not start Charlie Kolar.
36:07So get away, run away, right away. Um, it's 23 here on our list.
36:12I didn't even rank them. No, it's not happening.
36:16I would not do that. Uh, Mike is a key 24 versus the Tennessee Titans.
36:21Simple play. It's the Titans. It's a streamer play.
36:24Same thing with Greg Dulcich. He's somebody else who might've had a little bit of competition early in the week when you did your waiver wire shows.
36:34And then, uh, one player who's not on here is Tyler Warren.
36:38Um, I didn't see him along the way earlier when this, these ranks were probably being made.
36:44It was accounting for the fact that Tyler Warren was hurt and didn't play last week.
36:49It sounds like he got a limited practice in and signs are pointing to Tyler Warren being able to play.
36:57Um, let's see a couple of different things. We're already talking about golden.
37:01Yep. I'll go back to him real quick. Matthew golden is 12th in our rankings.
37:06And it's a spot where you're firing up your green Bay Packers.
37:11You're firing up Josh Jacobs, Tucker craft, Christian Watson, expect Christian Watson and Matthew golden to be in the top 12 ranks in the top 18 ranks.
37:20At least this is kind of like the lamb and pickings scenario.
37:24So yes, we did cover that a little bit and you're golden.
37:29If you have golden, you're putting him out there until he doesn't really give you week over week production.
37:35So you gotta let him go cold. Give him the opportunity.
37:39Matthew golden has earned it. Let him go cold in your lineup a couple of weeks before you take him out.
37:47And then here, this person asked, should I trade Saquon and a book for Josh Jacobs?
37:52I wouldn't. You're going to get, I think tonight a great performance from Josh Jacobs, but a book back on track with
38:00Baker Mayfield and the idea of Saquon Barkley getting traded to a better scenario.
38:05I would hold off and hope for more. I don't think it's as guaranteed of an up tier as you may think.
38:13If you're concerned about Saquon Barkley injury, if he's going to be out multiple weeks, I would wait to see if Saquon
38:21Barkley is going to be out even this week.
38:24Um, monitor that situation. I just lean. I want a book and Saquon.
38:28I know it's been frustrating. Chances are, uh, LeBron James.
38:32We're speaking to LeBron James right now. I'm convinced he might be on his helicopter right now traveling.
38:38Uh, I'm trying, I lost my train of thought trying to be too funny.
38:43Uh, you're, Oh, you're probably maybe two and five or maybe your record isn't what it should be.
38:50And that's probably the reason for some of this desperation.
38:53I, I would ride it out there. Um, worried about golden part-time or decoy.
38:58Uh, maybe there's some kind of injury that I'm not aware of.
39:02Um, but I, I'm throwing him out. Remember you start Matthew golden tonight, any Thursday players, put them out of your flex, put them in your lineup spots.
39:12Chica Conquo. Is he going to be good without Terry?
39:16He's been getting opportunity. That's all we can hope for.
39:19We're Stefan Diggs and a Conquo Antonio Williams. They're the triumvirate.
39:23Of course, out of the backfield, I expect more usage PPR utility from Rashad white.
39:28So that's exciting. If you have Rashad white fire him up, I'm very excited about Antonio Williams, but I don't want my
39:36bias to get in towards the fact that it could end up being directionally correct where we see the replacement of Terry
39:44McLaurin with better usage and better outcome from Antonio Williams, but we could be directionally right.
39:50And then just off. And then it's Chico Conquo.
39:53So I would, I would fire up Chico Conquo unless you have like top five options at tight end.
40:00Um, if you're in a desperation play, if you're in the tight end premium, I don't think it's crazy at all to go Chico Conquo.
40:08And then we have Murray versus Detroit or love versus the Panthers.
40:13I go love versus the Panthers, but I love Kyler Murray versus Detroit lions.
40:18Um, so it's, it's the more short thing is Jordan love.
40:21So that's why I just favor Jordan love both to me equally.
40:26Great matchups. So I'm going to favor the guy who has produced more, so more guaranteed and in Jordan love, but it
40:33would not surprise me in the least. It both have either an equal type of game or even Murray goes off absolutely
40:41bananas this week, but because it hasn't been a short thing, it's been hard earned for Murray people who roster him.
40:49I go Jordan love. So good questions. Good talk.
40:52Um, I have another show. I got to run to, uh, Shev and I, uh, FFD.
40:57We have another show. Um, sorry about the audio early on with Pete.
41:02We'll try and get that reconnoiter. Um, love you all.
41:06I see 528 people on the stream, like subscribe, man.
41:09It goes a long way. It helps. I love doing this and any kind of type of feedback.
41:15That's good. Even constructive criticism always helps always trying to be better.
41:20I hope you win your week. Hope you win your league.
41:24Hope you have mass success. Everybody have a good night.
41:27I will see you next week. Oh, wait, wait, wait, wait.
41:31Sorry. Okay. Sorry. Got one trade, uh, Janty Chudkins.
41:34I, I, I know that's Quijon Chudkins and Gio Bernard for Jonathan Taylor in PPR.
41:39I would not do that. I would not do that.
41:43Um, as soon as this week we have Ash and Janty going off against the Jets, the war value alone between Janty
41:51and JT is worth it enough to keep with Ash and Janty.
41:55Now on another show, it was over at FFD.
41:58Casey and I were talking about the prospect of JT going to a new team.
42:03If JT goes to a new team, I'm bullish on JT from the jump.
42:08And Casey was more like, Hey, you know what?
42:12I'm going to be thinking about it. It might take a few weeks of an adjustment, a ramp up period, or maybe
42:19there's another player out there in the backfield. Maybe if it's Seattle and Charbonnets there, you're not just kind of pushing Charbonnet
42:27out of the way because tendencies of the Seahawks.
42:30So all that to say, it could even be a little bit bearish on JT if and when he gets traded.
42:38I don't think that's going to be the case.
42:41But again, even with that, even if JT is himself, I want this bulk of Janty, Jockens, and I love Gio Bernard.
42:49He's still PPR spam worthy. We had a down week.
42:52I'm going to keep rolling him out. I think he's just an excellent player.
42:57Hopefully this is a keeper league because Bernard would just be phenomenal late round value, but I would hold off on that trade.
43:05I think it's a, it's a good deal that's put in place.
43:10I don't know if you put it together or your trade partner that you're working through, put that together.
43:16I don't know the angle of records because that goes into your motivation, but all in all, I'm going Janty, Chudkins and Bernard.
43:24I love you all. Thank you. I hope you win.
43:28We will see you next week.
