0:00The mic is working and the sound is there.
0:03Let me know if you guys can hear me loud and clear.
0:07But welcome in, welcome in folks. Jeremiah Retzlaff is inactive.
0:11Ashen Genthy is apparently good to go and will play this week.
0:15So all good there. Brees Hall is not going to play so it's another Braylon Allen week.
0:20And we're gonna do this like we normally do.
0:24I'm gonna go over the player profile rankings, talk about my rankings as well.
0:28And talk about ECR and where the market is valuing players right now.
0:33And yeah, let's get into it. Let's start off with the quarterback position.
0:37And the quarterback position has been a positive for me so far this year.
0:42The quarterback position has been my strongest thing to rank as of, you know, this week.
0:47Right now I'm still the number one ranker for quarterbacks currently on Fantasy Pros Expert Competition.
0:53I see my guy in the house. What's going on, Mr.
0:57Ramos? How you doing man? Yeah, I mean so quarterbacks have been a strength of mine.
1:02And so might as well start off with my biggest strength.
1:06I'm gonna make sure that this is zoomed in a little bit more so you can see it.
1:12But starting off for the player profiler rankings. We have Josh Allen, number one.
1:17Matthew Stafford, number two. Brock Purdy, number three. Caleb Williams, number four.
1:21First week back from the hamstring injury. Drake May at number five.
1:25Jordan Love at number six. Dak Prescott at number seven.
1:28Tyler Shuck at number eight. Probably the lowest ranking we've actually had for Tyler Shuck at player profiler in a little bit of time now.
1:37Patrick Mahomes at nine. Jaden Daniels, number 10. Jacoby Brissett at number 11.
1:41CJ Stroud, number 12. Bryce Young at 13. Daniel Jones at 14.
1:46Kirk Cousins at number 15. Deshaun Watson at 16.
1:49Aaron Rodgers, 17. Trevor Lawrence at 18. Going up against that Houston Texans defense.
1:53Jameis Winston, number 19. Bo Nix, 20. Last night obviously didn't go well for Bo Nix.
1:59And I think most of the marketing consensus would have had him pretty much right there.
2:04Tyler Huntley at 21. Cameron Ward at 22. Jalen Daniels at 23.
2:08Justin Herbert, the ultimate fault from Grace at number 24.
2:12Michael Penix at 25. Sam Darnold, 26. Geno Smith at 27.
2:16And then Tanner McKee at 28. No Jalen Hurts this week as well.
2:20I see Mr. B. in the chat as well.
2:23Feel free, my man Michael, to send in questions.
2:26I will get to them as we go through some of these rankings here.
2:31Now, looking at player profiler's rankings, looking at some of my rankings and looking at consensus, I am with player profiler in two of the top three.
2:40Well, actually, my top three is the same as player profiler's.
2:44It's just a slight difference. Matthew Stafford, number two.
2:47I have him at three. Player profiler has Brock Purdy at number two.
2:51I have, I'm sorry, I have Brock Purdy at number two.
2:55Player profile has him at number three. That is a pretty high scoring game with the 49ers and the Commanders.
3:02We get a 51 point total. Arizona is actually at 51.5.
3:06And then you look at Josh Allen and the Bills.
3:09They're actually at 53.5. So follow the spread, follow Vegas.
3:13When it comes to these totals, it's usually a pretty good indicator.
3:17Vegas is not in the money in the business of losing money.
3:21The market helps set, of course, those lines, but they're not giving out bad lines for a reason.
3:27They're there. They're pretty sharp. So it's a good baseline to go off of.
3:32But when looking at the quarterbacks, I'm pretty high on Chuck's last week player.
3:36Profiler's a little bit lower on him than they've been.
3:40They're at eight. Consensus has Chuck pretty far down in the rankings.
3:44I believe Chuck is like quarterback 11 right now in ECR, which is a little surprising to me going up against a poor Giants defense.
3:53Let me take a look here. Just want to double check and verify really quick where consensus has Tyler Shuck.
3:59But the Saints team, Saints offense, you know, it's it's it's been up and down.
4:04They can't really run the football very well. It's been it's been a mess when it comes to them being effective on the ground.
4:13Still no Travis Etienne. Looking at the experts consensus rankings right now over on fantasy pros.
4:18It's taking a second here to Tyler Shuck is number 11 right now in in ECR for fantasy pros.
4:25We got one question here from big noggin. He said Cam Ward above Justin Herbert.
4:30What a world. Yeah. We are kind of there at the moment.
4:34Cam Ward's actually 28 for me, but I totally understand.
4:37I mean, it's it's if there was a matchup to do it against.
4:42It's the Colts defense. It is funny. A lot of people are super confused.
4:46I still don't have the Colts defense ranked very high for DST this week.
4:51But Cam Ward makes some sense. And I totally understand him being ahead of Justin Herbert.
4:57If you if you have to start any of those guys, you're in a pretty big jam right now.
5:03Mr. Meatball said Huntley or Tanner McKee and Superflex.
5:06Yeah, I would go with Tyler Huntley. I have him at 22 against the Cleveland Browns.
5:12You know, Huntley's been OK in limited opportunity when Lamar has gone down.
5:16He knows, you know, he knows the players on the team while he's got some connection.
5:22Well, Tanner McKee, it's really hit or miss on how that's going to go with Tanner McKee.
5:27And there's just there's just a lot falling apart around the Eagles for me to trust throwing Tanner McKee out there.
5:35I'd rather roll the dice with Tyler Huntley in that situation.
5:38Taking a look at consensus rankings here. Kirk Cousins is another one that I wanted to talk about this week.
5:45I have Kirk Cousins at number 10. Player Profiler has Cousins a little more farther down at 15 this week.
5:52And Cousins has been really good. I don't need to sit here and tell you that.
5:58He goes up against a Bills defense that's just been pretty poor when it comes to just allowing points to the quarterback position.
6:05And just overall, it's just been a bad defense.
6:08I mean, their defense just absolutely stinks. Buffalo right now third in the NFL in terms of points allowed to the quarterback position at 23.5.
6:17And I mean, taking a look, they've played some pretty good offenses.
6:21You know, they've played and good quarterbacks, right? They played Justin Herbert, which is a good quarterback.
6:27I don't know. I'm really being tongue-in-cheek there. But he played the Chargers.
6:31They also have played Drake May. They've also played Jared Goff.
6:35They've played some pretty decent quarterbacks. And Kirk Cousins and this offense here for the Raiders have been pretty good this year.
6:43Taking a look at touchdowns allowed for Buffalo. They're number four in the NFL in terms of touchdowns allowed.
6:49Passing yards, they're second in the NFL behind Detroit at 1,479.
6:53So I think this matchup is pretty good for Kirk Cousins.
6:57I know last week was a pretty tough week.
7:00They did not play well. I don't think that that's going to be the norm for Cousins.
7:05I think we've seen enough of a sample size for the Raiders to know that that's not going to be the regular for this offense.
7:14They've played really good this year. So I happen to like them.
7:18It's a high point total in this game. 53.5 is the highest point total on the week.
7:2424.5 total points for the Raiders implied. So, you know, how do you get there?
7:29That's three touchdowns and a field goal. Or, you know, the math works out like, you know, two touchdowns, a two-point conversion,
7:37and like two field goals kind of thing. But I think Buffalo is going to take the lead here.
7:43And I think the Raiders are going to be playing from behind.
7:47Ashton Gentry is dinged up. So how effective is the rushing game for them?
7:52You can beat Buffalo in the secondary throwing the football.
7:55So I like Kirk Cousins a lot this week.
7:58I think there's a good chance he's still out there on waivers for many people if you need to stream.
8:05If you have like a Kyler Murray or Jalen Hurts and you're in a pinch.
8:10Cousins was still under 40% owned when it came into the week with the waiver wire show when I talked about it.
8:18So I really do like Kirk Cousins this week.
8:21I do want to talk about Drake May. I'm a little bit lower on Drake May than Consensus.
8:27Consensus has Drake May at number four this week.
8:30Player Profiler has Drake May ranked a little bit lower than that at number five.
8:35And I have Drake May ranked as my quarterback seven.
8:39Not a big fade, a slight fade. May's workload has been really good.
8:43I mean, he's got 22.94 expected fantasy points and has 30 rushing attempts over five games.
8:49So he's running the football really well. The rushing involvement is kind of why I still have him inside my top seven.
8:56My hesitancy a little bit is just with treating him as a top four quarterback against the Jets.
9:02Right. I mean, the Jets have allowed just 13.6 fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this year.
9:08And New England is favored by seven points. So you're thinking this is a game script that you would hope or assume
9:16that the, you know, the Patriots are going to be ahead in and they're not going to be forced to throw the football in this matchup.
9:24So Drake May, is he really going to have to run as much?
9:29Is he really going to have to throw to win this game as much either?
9:34I don't know. Right. And so it's hard for me to put him ahead of some of the other quarterbacks that I have right now.
9:43I have May at seven, like I said, but I have Tyler Shuck ahead of them.
9:48I have Dak Prescott. I have Jordan Love, Matthew Stafford, Brock Purdy, and Josh Allen.
9:53Those are all quarterbacks that I see in a more positive game script for fantasy points.
9:59Some of those quarterbacks are going to be in games.
10:02They're going to be trailing. Some of those quarterbacks are going to be in game scripts that are just really high score.
10:10Maybe they're not trailing, but it's going to be a slugfest back and forth.
10:14Especially you look at the Packers game, like Jordan Love and Dak Prescott, like who doesn't want pieces in that game?
10:21Right. That game is 53. So a half point below Buffalo and the Raiders in terms of the highest point total on the season.
10:30So on the week. So that's another one here.
10:33I want to point out a couple more players that I like.
10:37Um, maybe a little bit more than the consensus does.
10:40Um, let's talk about Jacoby Brissett. I have Jacoby ranked as my number 14 ranked quarterback player profiler has Jacoby Brissett sitting
10:48here at number 11 and consensus has them at 16.
10:51So I'm with player profiler with Jacoby Brissett, um, in that I have him ahead of, you know, the consensus.
10:58I just think with this offense, um, with this offense for the Cardinals, they're just throwing the football a ton.
11:05You now have no Jeremiah love this week. What does that mean for, uh, the, you know, the, I mean, this is
11:12a team that throws a football at a very high clip.
11:16Uh, they're going up against the Rams defense that is very good.
11:20Don't get me wrong. But it's a Rams offense.
11:23That's even better. And they're going to push points.
11:26I mean, they're implied 32 points so far on the week.
11:30It's the highest point total of any of the offenses.
11:34So I, unless you're worried that Carson Beck somehow makes his way into this game, which I don't think that happens.
11:41Right. I mean, the Cardinals were down a lot last week and they still had Jacoby Brissett in the game when the game was completely lost.
11:50So I don't think pulling the plug just yet is here for the Cardinals.
11:54I still think they want to try to compete and win games.
11:58And I think Jacoby gives them the best chance to do that.
12:03Um, but it could happen at some point, you know, by week 10, 11, 12, if, if they really want to see
12:10what they have injured in, in Carson Beck. Um, so a little bit of, you know, my thought process there on Jacoby.
12:18He's just been a really good quarterback over the last couple of weeks or just over the course of the season, stolen the ball a ton.
12:26It's a high point total game. Um, and it makes a lot of sense.
12:31Bryce young is a tricky one for me. Player profile has met 13.
12:36I have met 13 as well. Uh, consensus has Bryce young at number 12.
12:40So we're like a little bit behind a slight fade on Bryce young.
12:45And that game is very tough to judge how it's going to go.
12:49Right. I mean, you have a 38.5 over on your neck game.
12:53Carolina is favored by three and a half points.
12:56They have an implied point total of 31. I'm 21, but he goes past.
13:01They'll have a really good defense. And. He was not a threat.
13:05No. We'll see. He did say that he feels good, but he's got to get cleared.
13:11Um, the defense is good. The office is not, or is Carolina go on the road.
13:16They're just going to probably try to get, get a win.
13:20And I'm not saying they're going to be conservative, but, um, you, they know that the, that Vic Fangio and the Eagles
13:28defense is going to throw the kitchen sink at them.
13:31Um, so I don't know that they're going to be super testy throwing the football and feel like they have to.
13:38So I'm a little more concerned on Bryce young, uh, than, than probably the consensus would be.
13:44Uh, so it's a slight fade on Bryce young there.
13:47Um, I do see some questions in the chat.
13:50I'm going to grab them. Uh, but before I do that, let's take one quick break and, uh, we will come right back.
13:58You know, I get asked is AI ruining fantasy sports.
14:02And the answer is absolutely not. We've had consensus rankings available for a long time, but people subscribe to the player rankings
14:09at player profiler.com for super flex, tight end premium, best ball, even offensive line rankings.
14:14Of course, your rookie rankings, your dynasty rankings, those are all available in the ranking service for player profiler.com password protected.
14:21So the bots can't get to it and you can maintain your edge and use code pod father for $5 off.
14:29Woo. It's a good deal. Folks. We are back here.
14:32Thank you guys so much for tuning in on a Friday.
14:36Let's get to some questions here really quick before we continue.
14:40Uh, Michael said, find me for Casey conception. If he plays in guillotine, I have Travis Kelsey.
14:45Um, I'd rather go with Friermuth in this one.
14:48Uh, you know, looks like DK Metcalf may not play.
14:52Um, if, if DK does play, you have maybe a case to go Casey conception, but Friermuth scored four times this year in five games.
15:00Uh, so the touchdown upside is there. DK is banged up right now.
15:05No Michael Pittman, no Roman Wilson. Um, and Aaron Rogers has three passing touchdowns in three straight games.
15:11So I'm probably going to go with Friermuth. Uh, let's see.
15:15Jeremy Bernard or Pat Friermuth. I also have Kelsey.
15:18Wow. Look at that. You guys pretty much have the same question here.
15:22Um, somewhat the same question. Jeremy Bernard or Friermuth.
15:25I'm going to probably go with Jeremy Bernard here.
15:28Uh, just because the upside, the ceiling is higher.
15:31Uh, it, it, I like, I like Friermuth, but I'm not going to sit here and tell you he has a chance
15:39to be like, you know, a 15, 20 point burger.
15:42And I think Bernard has that possibility against a, a weak secondary with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
15:48And he, he's getting the volume. He's getting the work and there's potential for no DK Metcalf.
15:54So, um, good question there. Let's see. What else do we have?
15:58Do you think Trevion will play this week? If yes, Trevion Henderson or Pierce in the flex, uh, I think Henderson will play.
16:06Um, but I prefer Pierce this week over Trevion Henderson.
16:09Um, where do I have Jaden Daniels? So Jaden Daniels, I have ranked right now as my quarterback.
16:16Each player has him at number 10 and then consensus has him at seven.
16:20So a somewhat of a small fade on Jaden Daniels, but not really.
16:25It's just one behind consensus. Uh, it's a really good game script, but 49ers defense is playing really, really well.
16:32That run game may be non-existent for the commanders, which some would say, that's great.
16:37That means they're going to throw the ball a ton.
16:40Uh, but the having somewhat of a run game, uh, helps allow you to keep the defense honest.
16:46Um, so some good questions here. Uh, let me go ahead to the running back rankings.
16:52Then we'll get to the next set of questions right after that.
16:56Folks, uh, starting off with the running back rankings.
16:59Number one, Kenneth Walker, B. John Robinson, Jonathan Diller, number three, Christian Caffrey, number four, Kyron Williams at number five, Ashton Gentry
17:06at number six, Derek Henry at number seven, Ramondre Stevenson at number eight, James Cook, number nine, Javante Williams at number 10,
17:14DeAndre Swift at 11, Jalen Warren at number 12, Bucky Irving at 13, Bashaw Tootin at 14, Tyler Algier at 15, Chubba
17:21Hubbard at 16, Cam Scudaboo at 17, I almost said Scudaboo, Scudaboo at 17.
17:26Damian Pierce at 18, Braylon Allen at 19. Emmanuel Wilson at 20, which looks pretty good because Emmanuel Wilson was consensus 16.
17:34I had him at 20 as well. Woody Marks at 21, Quinshawn Judkins at 22.
17:39That'll get removed if Quinshawn is out. We still don't know just yet.
17:43J.K. Dobbins at 23, Marshawn Lloyd at 24, Tony Pollard at 25, Alvin Kamara at 26, Rico Dowell at 27, Blake Corum
17:51at 28, Ja'Cory Kraske-Marratt at 29, his status is up in the air, and Keaton Mitchell at number 30.
17:57So that's where we got the running back rankings for this week here at Player Profiler.
18:03Looking at some of my running back rankings, let me just talk about at least guys I'm higher on consensus versus consensus right now.
18:11At running back, I have Ashton Gentry at number 9.
18:14Consensus has him at 13 this week. You know, there is concern about the workload for Gentry and, you know, how much
18:22will it be with the injury with the foot?
18:25I'm not really concerned. Gentry's going up against a, or is playing in a game against Buffalo.
18:31It's going to be high scoring. He's averaging 20.37 expected fantasy points per game versus his actual, which is 16.92.
18:38He's also playing in 71.4% of the snaps and accounts for 76.3% of the backfield's expected points.
18:43He's earned a 16.7 target share. So that's really good.
18:47And that matters in a game where Las Vegas is probably going to have to spend time playing from behind versus Buffalo, who is going to score points.
18:56This is a high point total game and they're favored.
19:00Buffalo has allowed 28.2 fantasy points per game to running backs.
19:04This game also has a 53 point total like we talked about.
19:08So there's going to be opportunities for the Raiders.
19:11If you have Ashton Gentry this week, don't, I would not go ahead and start like a speculative play over Gentry because
19:18you're worried about the foot and Mike Washington and, you know, them not giving him his workload.
19:24Like this is the kind of game that you want to start Gentry in and it's the game I'm starting him in.
19:32Obviously, I doubt people are going to bench him, but you never know, right?
19:36People hit on later round backs, like say, you know, maybe you drafted DeAndre Swift a little bit later and he's your RB three.
19:45And maybe you have Armandre Stevenson, right? Where Stevenson and Swift are ranked both ahead of Ash and Gentry this week.
19:52And it's very possible somebody has Gentry, Stevenson and Swift and doesn't know what to do.
19:57If it were me, I'd be starting Gentry and Swift.
20:01I wouldn't be starting Stevenson. Stevenson, Armandre Stevenson is the guy decently versus consensus.
20:05And this is one of those things where when you talk about the expert fantasy pros expert rankings competition, this is where
20:13things can get you in trouble a little bit.
20:16When you start ranking guys that are ranked inside the top 10, top 12, and you start ranking them outside of that
20:23because if they hit, then you're really, really playing from behind because you get more.
20:29This is like a multiplier. You know, you get more points in your scoring for the position on the guys that are
20:36ranked higher that you get right slash you lose more on the guys that you get wrong that are ranked higher.
20:43But Stevenson is confusing to me. I don't know if it's a market thing where the market just hasn't adjusted just yet
20:51because there's a, there's a thought that, you know, Henderson's going to play.
20:55Um, but Henderson right now is consensus ranked at 90.
20:59So most people don't even have them, him in the rankings.
21:02So I think that's a big reason why. Uh, but Stevenson in the beginning of the week, you know, ranked number nine, I have Stevenson ranked.
21:11Well, I haven't met 17. I had him at 16.
21:15I bumping down to 17. I understand liking the matchup this week.
21:19Um, the jets have a lot of 24.3 fantasy points per game to running backs and new England is a seven point favorite.
21:27So if they are going to score, it's going to likely be, Hey, is it, it's going to come from the running backs?
21:34And, and it's one of those things where you're like, well, Pete, if you are fading Drake may, cause you think they're
21:42going to run the football very well or run it more than how do you fade Stevenson?
21:48And Stevenson is not a big fade here. I mean, he's at 16.
21:52It's a big fade versus consensus, but he's still a borderline RB one.
21:57He's, he's like a high to mid RB two.
22:00And I have may ticked back a little bit because I still think there is a chance of one.
22:06I think Steve, I think Henderson's playing and two, I don't think may is going to have to be in this slugfest
22:14shootout where they're going to have to score a lot of points.
22:18And three, I think the jets defense is better than people give them credit for.
22:23I've said this a lot this season, but you know, they played the lions very tough this year.
22:29They just really, really crushed in a bad weather game against the Browns, which wasn't anything to write home about because it's the Browns.
22:37But just this, this defense is, is pretty decent this year.
22:41So I'm, I'm a fan of the defense and I think that the defense can hold them in check a little bit more.
22:49It's a divisional game. Those games are hard. Sometimes it's a 43.5 point total.
22:54It's not a very high point total in this game.
22:57New England's implied 25.3. I would take the under on their total points of 25.3.
23:02You know, if I was a betting man, I would take the under on that.
23:07Um, so that's there. Um, let's check out the questions that we have here, uh, in the chat said, uh, do I
23:15trade away Brock Bowers and Jeremy Bernard for Drake London and Mike, uh, Mark Andrews?
23:20No, I would not. I prefer Brock Bowers over Drake London.
23:24Um, just a positional advantage right now. And then Jeremy Bernard or Mark Andrews.
23:29Bernard has a chance to be a wide receiver too.
23:32Um, Mark Andrews is very up and down this year and he's not really giving me much advantage at the position right now.
23:40Um, he said, I have Terry Coker, Agbuka, other, what are your other wide receivers?
23:45Yeah. I mean, your receivers could be better. I would just be looking at other places to make upgrades.
23:51Um, and maybe, you know, I mean, maybe Bernard, um, and, and one of these other guys like Terry Coker or Agbuka,
23:59I'd be fine moving any three of them. I probably want to move Coker the most only, and I'm a big Coker
24:06fan, but the injuries are a little sketchy. And if you can get good value on that, maybe I pair up Coker
24:14and Bernard to a person that doesn't have depth, but I'm probably not making that move.
24:19Um, when it comes to Bowers, let's see what else do we have here?
24:24Uh, Larry's at dream Kirk over James, even in a standard format.
24:28So it depends on, on, is this a six, six points, uh, for each passing touchdown.
24:34Um, in, in, in my rankings right now, I have cousins ranked ahead of James Winston.
24:39Um, Winston's at 17 for me. I have cousins at 10.
24:43So I like cousins a lot of a decent amount more than James Winston this week.
24:48Uh, James, it was a weird week. He was kind of Jacoby Brissett light last week where he just threw, you know, through the ball a ton.
24:58Um, I don't know that they're going to want to live there and do that every week.
25:03And I also think that they're going to have a better rushing attack this week against a poor rushing defense in, uh, in the Atlanta Falcons.
25:12Let's see. Said, why would the Cardinals get a lead?
25:16Um, I don't think I said the Cardinals would get a lead.
25:20Maybe somebody else said that in the chat. Um, let's see what else do we have before we move on to the wide receivers.
25:28Just want to grab some more of these questions guys.
25:31So, you know, keep sending them in there. Uh, he said also for tight ends, Goddard or Juwan Johnson.
25:38I prefer Juwan Johnson. Um, I'm going to answer one more here and then we will get back to the wide receiver
25:45rankings and then I'll answer some more questions. Said, full PPR need to drop one from Casey Conception, Roma Dunes, a Pat Fryer.
25:53If it's a player profiler special. Special. Oh, um, I mean, it's not the front end.
25:59Maybe if it's a tight end premium here, if it was a tight end premium, I would probably be dropping Casey Conception.
26:06Uh, Roma Dunes has been heating up a little bit.
26:10Caleb Williams is coming back. We still have no idea how things are going to shake out.
26:15We know there's a chance that this bears offense can still be a top five offense in football with Caleb Williams back.
26:23Um, and Casey's going to be still stuck in an offense that's very up and down and, and, and doesn't really have top 10 potential.
26:32So I'd probably rather roll with a Dunes and Muth in a tight end premium.
26:37If it's not tight end premium, I'll take the wide receivers.
26:40All right, let's go ahead and move over to the wide receiver position.
26:45Uh, Bob pulling this up on the screen right now for you guys, uh, wide receiver at number one, we got Puka Nakua.
26:53Then we have Jackson Smith and Jigba at number two, CD lamb at number three, Chris Olave at number four.
27:00I got Chris Olave at number four as well.
27:03Uh, Nico Collins at number five. We got Christian Watson at number six, Ted Arello McMillan at number seven, Mike Evans at
27:10number eight, George Pickens at number nine, Matthew Goldman at 10, Devante Adams at number 11, Zay Flowers at 12, Garrett Wilson
27:18at 13, Malik Neighbors at 14, Michael Wilson at 15, Josh Downs at 16, Drake London at number 17, Terry McLaurin at 18, Devonta Smith at 19.
27:27We'll see if he plays. Luther Burden at 20, Devon Bailey at 21, Jalen Coker at 22, Romeo Dobbs at 23, Parker Washington at 24.
27:35Uh, Rome Duneze 25. D.K. Metcalf at 26, who did not practice today.
27:40It looks like he may not play. Uh, Denzel Boston at 27, Jalen Waddle at 28, Khalil Shakir at 29 and Carnell Tate at number 30.
27:49So let's get into some of these rankings here really quick, uh, at the wide receiver position.
27:55Some guys I'm higher on, some guys I'm lower on.
27:58Uh, Garrett Wilson, uh, is somebody that, uh, I am higher on, uh, right now this week.
28:04I'm a little surprised, uh, that there is somewhat of a fade.
28:08Maybe it's because Christian Watson's, I mean, I'm sorry, Christian, uh, Christian Gonzalez is coming back and people are a little scared of that.
28:16I have Garrett Wilson at wide receiver 11 this week.
28:19ECR has him, uh, ranked as the wide receiver 13 this week.
28:24Player profiler has him ranked here at number 13 as well.
28:27Um, I like Garrett Wilson a lot this week.
28:30Uh, Garrett Wilson right now, he's earned 29.3% target share.
28:34While running 88.4% of the Jets routes on dropbacks, he's playing 88.1% of the offensive snaps.
28:39So obviously there's no question of who's getting the ball and who the passing game runs through right now.
28:46Um, 80 Mitchell still probably not going to play in this game.
28:50Uh, Omar Cooper Jr. maybe comes back. I don't know.
28:53I'd have to see what the injury report, but he was dedicated to return, uh, to practice.
28:59Uh, Kenyon Sadiq was in a concussion protocol. He's there's a chance he plays.
29:04We'll see, um, if there is news on that, I haven't checked it out yet, but New England's average 31.6 fantasy points to wide receivers this season.
29:13So, um, it's not a matchup. I'm really looking to avoid, uh, Jets are seven point underdog, which means there's going to
29:21be more passing opportunity, more passing volumes. If they're chasing points, it's not a guarantee that the offense is going to be
29:28necessarily efficient, but Garrett Wilson should get plenty of chances in this matchup.
29:33Um, so I'm comfortable leaning on the target concentration, uh, for Garrett Wilson in this matchup.
29:38Uh, so that's why I have him ranked as high as I do.
29:42Um, and I feel pretty good about his ranking so far where I have him this week.
29:48Um, let me check actually, hold on. I actually might have Garrett Wilson higher than that.
29:54Let me take a look. Here, hold on. Yep.
29:57I'm sorry. I have Garrett Wilson ranked number six.
30:00I was getting standard rankings there. I apologize. I have Garrett Wilson ranked number six, which is, it's funny I say that
30:07because now I'm going back to the ice. I said I had him at nine.
30:12I actually had him at eight. And a reminder, Stevenson didn't change.
30:17I still have him, have him where I have him.
30:20Um, but yeah, I just didn't say a lot of time here.
30:24Um, I'm very far out ahead of him than the market is on Garrett Wilson.
30:29So I just feel really good about it. Zay Flowers, I have him at 14.
30:34ACR has him at wide receiver 10 this week.
30:37Um, you know, target concentration. I just, I like Zay Flowers.
30:41And I think that this is a good defense in the Cleveland Browns to good secondary.
30:47Denzel Ward is playing good football. Um, there's some good players in that secondary, some good players on that defense and it's
30:54going to be a pretty gross game, I think.
30:57Um, so I'm going to go with, you know, when you talk about flowers, Garrett Wilson, you know, consensus prefers flowers over there.
31:05I'm going to go with a target, target consolidation.
31:08Consolidation, the guys are playing from behind in a game that, you know, should be higher scoring, uh, versus the Atlanta Falcons.
31:16I'm sorry, the, the, the Ravens playing the Browns.
31:19So that's my thought process there. Um, let's check out some of the questions that we have here in the chat really quick.
31:27Let's see. Daniels are 10, Aaron McKee versus the Carolina.
31:30And, uh, man, yeah, I mean, so it's six points for passing touchdowns, I think.
31:35Um, it's a really gross question. I, I'm pretty sure if we're looking at Jalen Daniels, but it's really close.
31:42Yeah. I have Jalen Daniels at 24. I have Tanner McKee at 25.
31:46Um, so pretty gross though. I would be looking at if there's anything better that you have out there.
31:53Jamie, what's going on, brother? Good to see you, man.
31:56Um, let's see what else we got. Joe said, can we get some wide receiver trade targets for Josh Jacobs?
32:03Wide receiver. Are you trying to trade Josh Jacobs?
32:06Um, now is probably not the time to trade Josh Jacobs unless you think, Hey, this offensive line is going to be so bad.
32:14Josh Jacobs is not even going to look good at all.
32:18And, uh, you're concerned that. That, that, that, that he's not, he's getting lower.
32:23Um, I'm probably still holding until we see some, some work from Josh Jacobs.
32:28So I would, I would, I would be a little cautious.
32:31We're trying to trade him. And if anything, he's going to go up if he plays and plays well.
32:38All right. The last position. Take one more. Rick, it's the last position.
32:42I'll answer any other questions that you have left.
32:45Let me know if my mic and all this.
32:49Okay. I'm right back. Hey, I know DFS may have peaked, but there are still hundreds of thousands of people to play
32:56and millions of dollars up for grabs every week.
32:59So let's put our hoodie on and let's talk about player profilers.
33:03DFS dominated. It has a cash game optimizer that leverages the projections from Bradley and Evan and that player profiler AI engine
33:11to create cash game lineups that certainly have a high floor, but also give you that ceiling.
33:17Now you've probably heard about the most powerful tool of all our lineup genius.
33:21We know winning GPPs requires a completely different approach, which is why our lineup genius takes you through the process of selecting the quarterbacks in the juiciest matchups.
33:31Then it highlights the stacks and runbacks that are available, lets you pick the chalk level, lets you pick the level of
33:38correlation with a number of other proprietary settings available to you.
33:42Click a button and it generates hundreds of lineups to be imported into FanDuel and DraftKings.
33:48And it's just $45 a year, not a week, a year.
33:51So for that reason alone, if you play DFS, you'd be an idiot not to buy the DFS Dominator.
33:58All right, we are back here. Let's go over one position and it's going to be the tight end.
34:04But this is in here. Oh boy, let's see what we got for the tight end.
34:10So, Brock Bowers at number one. Tray McBride at number three.
34:14George Kittle at number four. Dalton Kincaid at number five.
34:17Tyler Warren at number six. Tucker Craft at number seven.
34:20He is starting to kind of hit his stride a little bit.
34:24Colson Loveland at number eight. A little spicy, but Caleb Williams is back.
34:29We'll see if that helps Colson Loveland. Dallas Goedert at number nine.
34:33Pat Fryer at number 10. Travis Kelsey at number 11.
34:36Harold Fannin at number 12. Juwan Johnson at 13.
34:39Hunter Henry at 14. And Tyler Higbee finding himself in the top 15 at number 15.
34:45Tyler Higbee's actually been pretty decent. A pretty decent stream at tight end position if you needed help there.
34:51Taking a look at some of the rankings. Travis Kelsey continues to slide on.
34:56You know, I know a player probably a little bit behind on Travis Kelsey.
35:01Has him ranked at number 11. I have Travis Kelsey ranked at number six.
35:06Consensus has Travis Kelsey ranked at number seven. Travis Kelsey is in a matchup against the Chargers.
35:12Casey minus seven and a half point favorites. It's 41 over under total there.
35:16No Rashi Rice this week. They're down pass catchers.
35:19No Tyquan. It's really Xavier Worthy. Is it Jalen Royals?
35:23You know, is it Cyrus Allen? Is he finally going to get a shot this week?
35:28Maybe. And then it's Kenneth Walker. Maybe Kenneth Walker's total for receptions bump up in this game.
35:34If you like player props, maybe take a look at that.
35:38But I just really like Travis Kelsey overall this year.
35:41He's just playing so well, guys. And it's one of those things where, you know, we hate to play the older player.
35:49We hate to target the older player, but Travis Kelsey has just been such an incredible value this year for the Kansas City Chiefs.
35:57He's just really looked like himself. Looking at what he's been able to do, he's ran 73.9% of the routes.
36:04He's got 21 total targets through four games because obviously Kansas City had a bye this past week.
36:10So he's averaging at least five targets a game right now.
36:14And he's got a 16.4% target percentage, but his statistics have just been really good.
36:1913.15 fantasy points per game. He's running all the routes.
36:22He's got really little competition. I think Travis Kelsey's great.
36:26Fresh legs. They've had extra time to prepare for the Chargers.
36:29And as long as they're not really overlooking this pitiful Chargers team, Travis Kelsey should be a good play in my opinion this week.
36:38So I happen to really like Travis Kelsey this week.
36:41Taking a look at some other guys I'm higher on.
36:44Higher on Juwan Johnson for me. I have Juwan at tight end number eight this week.
36:50Consensus has Juwan Johnson where? Tight end number nine.
36:53So I'm going to have the consensus on Juwan Johnson.
36:56And the player profiler has Juwan Johnson sitting at tight end 13.
37:00Juwan Johnson, again, another big player this year. He's got 30 targets through five games.
37:06Juwan Johnson's averaging six targets a game. His expected fantasy points per game is 14 fantasy points.
37:11His actual production is 13.36. So you're not worried about regression there.
37:16It'd be one thing if you look at his actual fantasy points are 20 points per game, but his expected fantasy points was 12 points per game.
37:25Like you're sitting here saying, okay, well, like something's got to give here.
37:29Right. And in this case for Johnson, he's pretty much right there with his expected fantasy points and his actual fantasy points.
37:37He's running routes on 69.6% of the New Orleans dropbacks.
37:40And the Saints passing volume gives him room to produce alongside guys like Chris Alave, Devon Vele.
37:46The Giants have allowed 14.2 fantasy points per game to tight ends.
37:50So it's a smaller difference than some of the other rankings.
37:54But I do prefer Johnson to a few players being ranked ahead of him.
37:59And so that's why I have him ranked high.
38:02It's also an offense with the Saints that are just playing at a very high pace of play right now.
38:08You have two offenses this week with the Giants and the Saints that are playing at very high pace of play.
38:16When you look at the highest paces of play, New Orleans Saints are number one in the NFL right now.
38:22Number one in the NFL, the Saints. The Giants are not nearly as high.
38:27Giants at 31.3. So it's definitely lower for the Giants.
38:31I'm taking a look here. 31.3 is actually 28th.
38:34But I want to see what they look like actually with Jameis Winston at quarterback over the last three weeks.
38:41Let's see if they go a little bit higher.
38:44It's pretty, pretty close to being the same. So we'll see.
38:47But I think if the Saints are ahead, Giants may be forced to throw the ball more, which continues to make this
38:55a game that can go high scoring. So that's my thought process there.
38:59Dalton Kincaid for me is another guy. Faded him before.
39:03I'm probably fading him again here. Tight end 12 in my rankings versus ECR has him at tight end 8.
39:10You know, Dalton Kincaid has been pretty disappointing over, you know, the last couple weeks.
39:15He started off really hot in the season. And then he's really kind of fizzled out.
39:20Starts off the season at 5, tight end 3.
39:23Now he hasn't had a finish inside the top 20.
39:27He's getting tight end 37, tight end 52, tight end 35.
39:30He's got a total of 3-2-2 targets the last three weeks.
39:34He's only caught the ball four times. So everyone wants to continue.
39:38Maybe it's just concern of like you're going to miss out on that blow up spot.
39:44I don't know. N'Kobe Dean's a pretty good linebacker.
39:47He's going to be playing against the Raiders in this matchup here with Dalton Kincaid.
39:52And I don't know. I mean Raiders have allowed 19.1 fantasy points per game to the tight end position.
39:58And the 53 point total does give Buffalo plenty of scoring potential.
40:02So I understand why people are kind of in on him.
40:06It's just he's running routes on 61% of the dropbacks and has a 15.2% target share.
40:12The target share is not very high. And he's been kind of phased out in the offense lately.
40:18And there's a chance DJ Moore does come back this week.
40:22So those are some of the reasons why I'm not in on Dalton Kincaid as much as the consensus is.
40:28So that's my thought process there. Let's take a look at some of these questions here.
40:34Start with Devonta Smith or DJ Moore. Yeah, I mean if DJ Moore is active this week, I'm going to start him over Devonta Smith.
40:42Iggy's in the house said Coker or Kelsey. I have likely in my tight end spot.
40:48I'm probably going Travis Kelsey over Jalen Coker this week.
40:51I just don't think that the Panthers are going to be pressed at score points.
40:56And Kelsey is going to get a lot of consolidation there.
41:00Can you give me your thoughts on this trade I just did?
41:04CMC, Garrett Wilson, DK Metcalf, Niko, Marvin Harrison Jr., and B.
41:08John Robinson. So B. John or CMC, it's B.
41:11John, you know, at least a tier, two tiers above.
41:15I love Garrett Wilson or Niko Collins. I prefer Garrett Wilson over Niko Collins probably rest of the season.
41:21Yeah, I probably prefer Garrett Wilson over Niko Collins rest of the season just because Niko now is more of there.
41:28So we'll see what happens. Then you give up more for DK and Zach Schreiber.
41:33Yeah, I mean, I'm still going to take the B.
41:37John Robinson side here just because I don't think it's a big gap between Niko and Garrett.
41:43And right now there's a pretty decent gap between B.
41:46John and CMC. And then, you know, you get, I guess, Marv.
41:50I don't really want to have Marv and Niko on the same team.
41:54So it kind of just feels like a throw in more of a DK kind of thing.
42:00It's really like more for DK and Zach Sharpen.
42:03Like, I'd rather DK and Zach Sharps. But that doesn't really inch up.
42:08I'd still prefer the best player and the deal.
42:11And you're getting B. John here. And I think it's pretty close with Garrett Wilson and Niko.
42:17So I guess I would go B. John side.
42:20But, like, I want somebody that's not Marv. Like, I don't want to have Niko and Marv on the same team.
42:27Like, when are you going to ever start both of them?
42:31I wish we could get a different player for that deal.
42:34So we start with Bernard this week. So I'd start Bernard over Freyermuth this week.
42:40And Bernard or Damian Pierce. Yeah, I'd probably go with Damian Pierce if you're really looking for a safe play, a safe option.
42:47If you're like, hey, I just want the safest play, I'm going with Damian Pierce.
42:53If you want the upside play, I'm going to go with Jeremy Bernard.
42:57He said, is this a good trade? Chase Brown, Rashi, Rice, Vele for Kenneth Walker.
43:02So you're giving up Chase Brown, Rashi, Rice, and Vele and you're getting Kenneth Walker.
43:07I think it's a good trade if you have the depth to move, right?
43:12I mean, Ken Walker is obviously the best player to deal.
43:16I like Devon Vele, but, you know, there's a chance Tyson comes back.
43:20And how good can he be full season? I don't know.
43:24It's been good so far. So it's really about is Chase Brown and Rashi, Rice, enough for Walker?
43:30Because Vele is not going to tip that at all.
43:34And you have Hubbard as your other running back.
43:37Yeah. If you have the depth. If you have the depth on finance, it's not even, I mean, like, is Rashi, like your wide receiver three and four?
43:46If that's the case, I'm good with Chase Brown.
43:49If Rashi, Rice is your wide receiver one and Vele is like your wide receiver three or four, I would probably steer
43:57away from that and probably keep the Chase Brown.
44:00I don't know, man. I'm trying to convince myself, but I'd still probably go with Kenneth Walker here.
44:06I mean, how do you not? He's just been phenomenal.
44:09He can figure it out on the waiver wire.
44:12Yeah. Rice is wide receiver. I would go with Kenneth Walker here then.
44:17Go with Kenneth Walker. Rice is injured right now.
44:20Chase Brown is getting touches siphoned away from him right now from Samajay Pirine.
44:25And Vele, his role could change with Tyson coming back at some point.
44:29So I would go with Kenneth Walker. He feels like the most secure, safe player that you have here.
44:36And he's got the highest ceiling right now. He's been one of the best players, if not the best player in fantasy football.
44:44So I think that's pretty much it. I don't know that I see any.
44:48Oh, I do see one more question. I'll grab it.
44:52Should I trade Devon Vele for Jawan Johnson? The tight end is Colson Loveland.
44:56I prefer Jawan Vele for the rest of season.
45:00I think Johnson's role is less in danger than Vele's is if Tyson comes back.
45:05You do have Colson Loveland. It really depends on the depth.
45:08But Loveland hasn't been that great. So I'd want insurance there.
45:12So I would take Jawan Johnson. He's been very good this year.
45:16But thank you guys so much. If you guys do enjoy the show, do enjoy the work, please give me a like and subscribe on the show.
45:26Before we get out of here, let me answer one more question.
45:30Mr. Least said, start to PPR Lloyd, Pierce, Ladd, Algier.
45:33I'm starting Algier this week and I'm starting Morshawn Lloyd of these two guys.
45:38Give me the volume that we know we're getting the volume right now with Algier, with Love Out.
45:44Lloyd, I feel decent about. He's getting in the end zone and the offenses look better.
45:49So I'll stick with the volume there. But that is going to be good for me.
45:55Guys, please give me a thumbs up on the show.
