0:00It is a great day to break down the week six injury report. Going to be going through all the fantasy relevant
0:05injuries as well as some bets to help make you a scholar ready to go for all things week six NFL and fantasy football
0:12alike. It's your boy Ian Harris from team roto wire. Billy Collins from Oz Jam. And with that guys, let's get after
0:17it with the quarterback position.
0:19Michael Pennock's completely good to go with the rib injury. He practiced in full all week. And Billy, we even heard Kevin Sfansky say he doesn't need
0:25further padding or anything extra to deal with the injury. So, don't love when any of these quarterbacks or anyone for that matter are dealing with what I
0:32can only imagine is a very painful injury. But sounds like it's on the lesser side of things. So, I still would
0:38expect the Falcons to be fairly runheavy because the Bears defense is just so bad against the run. But, I don't know, man.
0:43Saw him be pretty rough against the passes well last week. Wheels up for Bejon, wheels up for Drake London, and maybe just wheels up for the Falcons.
0:50>> Yeah, I agree. Um, drinking a little juice here. I mean, this line opened at three and now it's moved down to plus
0:55three for the Falcons. Now it's at plus one. I'm drinking some juice here and taking the Falcons plus three and a half
1:00at around - 160 - 170 on maybe your bet Rivers. I like to be on the right side of three and I just think it's going to
1:06be a close game. If it's a ground and pound, maybe a little play action with London and maybe we get a little cow
1:11pits. Um I do like the Falcons to cover uh losing maybe by a field goal or less.
1:16Maybe they win outright.
1:17>> Has that moved down like the two points today?
1:20>> Um since the lines opened up at the beginning of the week it was they were at plus three, Bears minus three. Now,
1:24currently it's at plus minus one.
1:26Falcons plus one.
1:28>> Okay. Well, in that case, I am thinking that it's probably a decent sign that questionable Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will in fact be out there. So,
1:35he practiced in full all week. Ben Johnson said he is on track to play and they will have more clarity by the end
1:39of Friday. We are recording this just before 5:00 p.m. Eastern on Friday. So, we'll update you throughout the show if we get absolute certainty, but expecting
1:46given the fact that he was practicing in full all week and just the comments from the team throughout the week that Caleb
1:51Boys will be out there. So, good boost for pretty much everyone involved in the Bears offense. Meanwhile, we do have some quarterbacks out, guys. Jaylen Herz
1:58with a blood clot going on in his calf.
1:59He is going to be out. And while I am not a doctor, it does seem like this is a serious enough injury to potentially
2:04be keeping him on the sideline for longer rather than sooner. So, Tanner McKe will be under center in this one.
2:10They also have North Dakota State's Cole Payton, who is a very entertaining lefty to watch out there. And they went ahead
2:15and signed Joe Milton off the Cowboys practice squad. So, right now only the Chargers are implied for fewer points than the Eagles here in week six. So, if
2:23you got Devonte Smith, who we'll get to in a bit, I would still be okay putting him in there. Otherwise, start sick
2:28questions. Probably taking the other guy. Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson out again. Did not practice all week with that ankle injury. So, we will once
2:35again have former Pro Bowl QB Tyler Snoop Huntley under center for their matchup against the Cleveland Browns.
2:40And Buccaneers quarterback Baker Mayfield also out again with the right thumb injury. Will once again be Jaylen Daniels season for the Buccaneers.
2:46Unfortunately, they cannot face the Cowboys every week. So, I would get those expectations reorganized there.
2:52Meanwhile, if we're good to go, running backs now, guys. Ashen Genty. Even heard from Clint Kubak saying that he is playing and he's starting to feel a lot
2:58better physically. Not getting carried away with my ranks, but he is someone I did find a way to squeeze into the top
3:0320 ahead of a potential shootout here against the Bills on Sunday. Also have Saints running back Alvin Chimera officially listed as questionable. That
3:10said, we saw this last week. He was able to practice in a limited fashion all week long. I am expecting Camaro to be
3:16out there. If we do get a surprise and he is going to be sidelined, then Kendra Miller would be rising up a little bit
3:21in the ranks, but still would be expecting plenty of CJ Donaldson not going out of my way to get a piece of
3:25what's again been a muddled and honestly very unproductive backfield throughout the year. We also have Steelers running back Rico Dattle technically listed as
3:32questionable, but given the fact that he practiced in full on Thursday and Friday, I do expect him to be out there
3:37and so does Steelers beat reporter Chris Adamsky. So I have Jaylen Warren RB10 ahead of guys like Javvante Williams, DeAndre Swift. Anyway, Trouba Hubard and
3:45James Cook are two guys who I would be playing ahead of Jaylen Warren. Rico Dattle, hold on to him guys because he
3:51does still have sky-high handcuff value, but standalone I will have to see it before I believe it here. So I have
3:56Marby 38 alongside guys like Katon Metro, Alvin Chimera, and Keelin Black.
4:00That said, Billy, it is a situation where again we got Pittsburgh going up against the Jaylen Daniels le Buccaneers. Pittsburgh, man. I was did
4:07not know what we were gonna be getting from these guys after the first two weeks of the year, but seems like they
4:11settled down and this also seems like a winnable spot.
4:14>> It feels like it. I mean, they've just went win loss, win loss. I like them on the money line over at Novig. For those
4:18of you, they're available about 46 out of 50 states. If you don't know who Novig is, just YouTube Sydney Sweeney Novig and you'll get a good idea. Um, I
4:26think it's still going to be a close game because they've always found a way to kind of keep things tight, but then I
4:32still do look them to edge out, get them at maybe minus 125 to minus 130 guys or if you can get a better price, I do like
4:38my Steelers to hold on on the money line.
4:41>> Always got a question, Billy, when you give me a Steelers bet out here, but in this case, I do agree with you.
4:45Meanwhile, some more questionable situations that I am actually thinking could be more of the game time decision variety. Patriots RB Trayvon Henderson,
4:52apparently the lowest high ankle sprain ever, guys. He did come out and say he actively got diagnosed with a high ankle
4:57sprain but added quote I feel pretty good. We'll see how things go. So he was limited all week. He's officially limited as questionable. The Patriots
5:04did try out some running backs on Friday. Ulysus Bentley, Terrell Jennings, and Josh Pittensburgger. So if we do see them elevate someone on
5:11Saturday, probably a decent sign that he's not going to be out there. I have Andre Stevenson with Trayvon out as my
5:17RB8. I'd still be inclined to keep him in the top 15 conversation. Even if we do get Tvon back under the expectation
5:24that he could be limited of sorts. So I would have Mandre again ahead of guys like Brilon Allen Bashaw Tout and Woody
5:29Marks. I'm basically buying in this Patriots offense being really good right now the way Drake May is playing in a winnable matchup with their one healthy
5:36running back that being Randre Trayvon more of an RB30 alongside the Chargers and Saints guys if he is going to try to
5:41play through the pain. Browns running back Quinn Sean Judkins he's officially questionable. He did get a limited practice in on Friday, so it seems like
5:48he has a chance to be out there. But another backfield that overall guys, if he can help it, really would just try to
5:53avoid. We got Dylan Samson also out of the situation. And we had Rocket Sanders be put on IR earlier this week. So if
5:59Judkins is not playing, it would be some sort of nasty split between Julio Mccclaclin and Audrey Estime. Again, I would kind of have them the RB3
6:06conversation with the Saints, with the Chargers, aka guys who I do not want to get in my lineup. Judkins, more of that
6:12borderline RB2. interesting between him and Blake Horn, Brian Robinson. If we hear that Jugens is fully good to go, no worries. Usual role, I would put him
6:21ahead of those guys. If we start hearing about the pitch count potential, things like that, that's where I would go more
6:25so for the RB2s in good spots. Also note that Titans running back Tony Pard good to go. He's been practicing in full. Taj
6:31Spears officially questionable, but did get a full practice on Friday, seemly setting him up. Tony Pard again, more of that low-end RB2, not someone I'm too
6:39hyped about, but beggars sometimes can't be choosers with the by-weeks going on.
6:43Uh, keep an eye on Bills, RB, Ty Johnson. They're being a little bit slow getting their injury report out. I think
6:48they might have actually just gotten it though, so we'll see what goes on there.
6:51I don't necessarily expect them to be throwing the football a ton to uh James Cook regardless, but again, just one of
6:56those auxiliary guys. Looks like he is good to go anyway, so I will shut up.
7:01Buccaneer Johnny back Sean Tucker.
7:02Speaking of auxiliary guys, he is officially questionable with a game time decision. So, I don't see Jaylen Daniels and company having nearly as much
7:08success against the Steelers as it did against the Cowboys. But no, Shawn Tucker could be a better chance for Bucky Irving to find the end zone around
7:14the goal line. Meanwhile, Billy, my god, man, the Eagles, Saquon Barkley completely out of the picture here. Did not practice all week. Maybe could be a
7:22trade conversation guy. I don't know if Jonah Herz is out of the picture, but Saquon's out. Will Shipley has been put
7:28on IR. So, we get Damen Pierce and Carson Steel as the lead RBs. Man, I have no confidence in Damen Pierce.
7:35Billy, I don't know about you, we we're actually in a league together, not on the same team. We're competing. were rivals, but team Rotoire versus team
7:42Ozjam. I saw Damen Pierce on our waiverwire on Thursday. He was sitting there. Didn't even need to put in a claim. I could have just added him. I
7:49got pretty good squad. I will say that.
7:51But I still didn't even want anything to do with the guy. All right. So, if you are desperate, I get it. But I don't
7:56feel good about Damen Pierce. Do you?
7:58>> I picked him up in the league actually just as a because I'm in a interesting spot here with Jeremiah Love. I don't
8:03know how well it's going to go for him.
8:04I mean, let's just think about this with the Eagles now in the NFC East. Like, your Cowboys are in a prime position.
8:09Could this come down to the end of the season where if Jaden Daniels managed the clock correctly last week, Commanders maybe edge out the Cowboys
8:17for the division?
8:19>> What a freaking time to be alive in this NFC East. More like NFC at least. I have no confidence the Cowboys figuring
8:25things out, but might just be it's like that uh you know one of those that Mario Party game back in the day where like
8:32the three characters are on the balls and they just kind of all fall off and one guy ends up being the last one
8:36remaining. I feel like the Giants are gonna get it done, but who knows? So, anyways, look, Pierce should be looking at 15 plus touches, so it's tough to
8:43rank him too low. I have him on that kind of same RB2 borderline. I believe more and Marshon Lloyd, Cam Scabibu, and
8:49Tony Pard. Again, it's close between him and Blake Corm and Brian Robinson. So, we'll see what happens if they elevate another running back. Could be a
8:57problem. But once again, only the Chargers are implied for fewer points in the Eagles this week. So, keep those expectations low. Speaking of Jeremiah
9:04Love, he is going to be out of the picture, guys. did not practice all week. Michael Flor said he's not currently an IR candidate, but also said
9:09it seems like he's gotten worse throughout the last couple weeks. So, not looking good for Jeremiah. Honestly, I crossed out Jeremiah Love's name and
9:16put Tyler Algier in as the RB20. So, I would play him ahead of guys like Cam Scatter, Quinn Sean Judkins, and Tony
9:22Pard. I probably still prefer Bashaw Tuton, Bucky, and Woody, but you know what? It is pretty close. Him versus Ash and Genty. I think I just lean towards a
9:31game script for Genty. If we had a better matchup for the Cardinals, then I'd be like, "All right, let's go ahead
9:36and get tired up there." They play the Cowboys in a couple weeks, guys. So, keep an eye out for that one. But I do
9:40think as it stands right now going up against the Rams, I'm just not confident anyone other than Trey McBride and Michael Wilson winning out because of
9:46volume. Then again, Alzar should have a decent amount of that. Bears running back Kyle Manungi, he's out week to week. Will avoid the IR. I have DeAndre
9:54Swift, RB12. Speaking of running backs out, Bree Hall once again out. Didn't practice all week. Bron Allen every down roll. I have him RB14 behind Swift
10:02behind Javvante but ahead of guys like Toot and Bucky and Woody because again we do feel good about him really leaving
10:07the field. Also have Dave Montgomery out of the picture with that groin injury.
10:11Woody right there is the RB18. Just don't get too carried away guys. If Woody Marks, if you believe Woody Marks is better than Dave Montgomery, good. I
10:18agree too. I think he is. It's still just a bad environment. Still a very tough matchup against the Jaguars.
10:23Commander running back Jory Krosky Meritt. Keep an eye on him. He has not practiced all week with the groin ahead of Monday Night Football. Austin Eckler,
10:30he has been limited with a non-cont jersey. And then Rashad White is also now practicing a non-cont injury on Friday. So I don't know what these
10:37running backs are doing in practice, man. But they are hurting each other.
10:41Not really trying to wait around and f around and find out with any of those guys. And then otherwise, guys, the big
10:45news, Billy, was Packers running back Josh Jacobs getting removed from the commissioner exempt list on Monday. This will happen on Monday, I should say. So
10:52he is eligible to play in week seven, not week six. So Marshon Lloyd wheels up there. But Josh Jacobs seemingly coming
10:59back. Man, I must admit, I'm surprised.
11:01I thought this video thing was going to be a bigger issue, particularly after the NFL went out and actively wanted it.
11:07But sounds like Jacobs and the victim in question want to block it.
11:11>> Very, very interesting situation, man.
11:13But as things stand right now, I think Jacobs could be playing the rest of the season. How about you? Yeah, I mean it's
11:18a weird situation because as of Wednesday, he filed the civil lawsuit or whatever to try to make sure that that they couldn't couldn't grab the video.
11:25Um, you know, I took I was one of those crazy ones that took a flyer on him at the end of my draft and, you know, it
11:31was a big risk because we didn't hear it was crickets for like it felt like two, three weeks and then all of a sudden now
11:37it's like, okay, like let's go. So, um, I mean, they need him desperately. I the offensive line of the Packers I don't
11:44necessarily believe in, but he's still just an upgrade across whoever is in the backfield in Green Bay.
11:49>> Hasn't been very efficient in previous years in Green Bay, but the offense has been good. This allowed him to fall into
11:54the end zone a lot of times. And if the Packers can't keep things going on like we saw last week, we'll expect that to
11:59continue. So, not going to be putting Jacobson as a top 12 running back right away or anything like that. But, I do
12:04think I mean, you guys heard some of the names we're talking about here, guys.
12:07I'm pretty sure he will still be in the top 20 as early as week seven. Let's talk about some wide receivers. CD Lamb
12:12good to go with the thigh injury. Great news. Top five treatment as usual.
12:16Panthers wide receiver Jaylen Coker, welcome back. Got healthy over the buy while doing that quad injury. He is not listed on the final injury report. So,
12:23Eagles are dead last in PPR points per game. Allowed to slot wide receivers this season. I have Jaylen Coker as my
12:28wide receiver 21 and definitely a recommended start. Ravens wide receiver Z Flowers. He's good to go. As is Rashad Baitman. Jacobe Lane is questionable.
12:36Look, no Lamar Jackson, guys. I want to see it before I believe it with Jacobe Lane. All right. He's a very fun
12:42prospect. I know he had a great August and everything. I'm just still not even sure he's gonna have a full-time role as
12:47long as Flowers and Baitman are healthy.
12:48And then when you add in the backup quarterback, I'm not going out of my way to play him. So Flowers, he's my wide
12:53receiver 16. He's the one guy in this passing game I actively want to start this week. Mentioned earlier Devonte Smith though, he is back uh for for yeah
13:01this week, which is good. Hamstring and toe injury, DMP, LP, and now full practice. I have him as my wide receiver
13:0719 just because of the Tanner McKe factor. He's behind guys like Tedro McMillan, Zay Flowers, Devonte Adams, but ahead of Luther Burton, DK Metaf,
13:15and Carnell Tate, Dantavian Wixs, who is also good to go. More of a wide receiver five for me with the Browns. Billy, this
13:21is wild. I've always just when guys get concussed, I usually assume they're going to be missing at least next week.
13:26But Casey Conception practicing full on Friday. He is good to go. We saw Jamar Chase last week get concussed, but all
13:32all of a sudden come back and he'd be able to play in the game. and Kenyan Sadi is coming back. So, look, I had my
13:38fair share of concussions playing football over the years. Like, I understand that there are different levels of them and not every single one
13:44is up to a tag of my low variety, but man, I think I'm going to have to start changing my just general assumption
13:50here. And when guys get concussed, yeah, they might be able to play it next week.
13:53>> I mean, the hit on Conpsion looked like he was going to be out for weeks on end.
13:57It was a brutal hit. not one that you want to go back and watch for those that have a weak stomach. But, uh, then all
14:03of a sudden, bing, bang, boom, he bounced back. So, I mean, this could also come down to because he's a younger
14:07guy, rookie in his collegiate years, maybe didn't have much of a concussion history. I I can't say. Nice to see that
14:13he's back. I mean, I just hope that he's hope that he's 100% because, you know, nothing's more important than the long-term health, but good to know that
14:19he'll be lacing him up this weekend.
14:22So, not the biggest uh issue I would say with projecting Denzel Boston. I'm still keeping him as a low-end wide receiver,
14:28too. Will I get that 100 plus yard one touchdown boom that I got a jersey bet on? Remains to be seen. Uh Casey, the
14:33more of a wide receiver for me with guys like Kendrick Bourne, Jacobe Myers, and Juano Robinson. Also back in action, Jets wide receiver Omar Cooper. He
14:40practiced in full. He's officially limited or listed, I should say, as questionable. However, we did hear from Aaron Glenn before that he will be
14:47playing. So, no Adenai Metro Mitchell as he continues to recover from the from the finger injury. not going out of my
14:52way to start Cooper this week. Maybe they use him in the action, but I do think he's a wide receiver five play
14:56alongside guys like Mai Lemon and Chris Goblin. Note that Stance wide receiver Chris Lave guys, he's officially questionable. He's had this illness all
15:04week and usually I don't worry about the illnesses, but he still was only limited on Friday after not practicing on Wednesday and Thursday. So, should be
15:11fine. But if not, you know, Devon Bailey is going to be a legitimate wide receiver too in fantasy and Bryce Lancer
15:16to enter that Boomer Bust wide receiver for picture. Also very nice bump for Jawan Johnson in that scenario. Probably gonna be fine though. Maybe someone who
15:24should also probably be fine, but we'll see what happens is Monday Night Football. 49ers wide receiver Mike Evans. Guys, we know he's got the rib
15:30injury, but he had an Achilles issue pop up that kept him out of practice on Thursday. Again, recording this before we get the final West Coast reports
15:37trickling in. He was spotted doing some work though on the side early Friday.
15:40So, Evans is always dealing with one thing or another. I will admit that of all the injuries out there, when I see
15:46Achilles, that probably makes my stomach turn the most out of any of them. So certainly not ideal, but it's always been a guy with a bit of a laundry list
15:53on the injury report. So tentatively still expecting Evans to play. And if that's the case, man, with Dbo, Samuel and the great match up against the
16:00Commanders, he should be in lineups of all shapes and sizes. Could also see Christian Kirk returning. But it is one of those things, Billy, where again, I'm
16:06happy that Evans is going to probably hopefully be out there and getting more consolidated targets because I've drafted a lot of Mike Evans this year.
16:12But it is yet more injuries to this offense with Debo Samuel and just is a situation where I know you're not saying
16:18maybe the Commander is going to win this game, but maybe they keep it a little more competitive than people were thinking.
16:22>> Yeah, I mean Mike Evans might go out there in the first half and then he'll be sitting on the sidelines in the
16:26second half. I mean he I just think he's going to suit up and play, but there's a lot of value according to the Sharp
16:31Sports Books. Commanders plus three and a half, long shot at plus 182 at FanDuel. Um, you know, I like to be on
16:36the right side of three. Do I think the Commanders can outright win this game?
16:39No, I don't think so. Can they keep it close? possibly. And I know their backfield in Washington's not looking great like we just discussed, but um I
16:46like to see a close game. You know, this is one of those ones where it seems like the 49ers should handle business, but
16:51then all of a sudden you turn on the late slight, you're like, "Oh, this is a little bit closer than I thought." So, I
16:55like the Commanders plus three and a half long shot at plus 182.
16:58>> I mean, hey, not having running backs to not just continuously lose yards against Fred Warner in that front seven, maybe
17:03not the worst thing in the world. Also know, Patriots wide receiver AJ Brown officially questionable, guys. Mike Frael did tell us they won't make the
17:10decision on if he'll play until Saturday, but sounds like there's actually legitimate chance to be out there. If AJ Brown's on the field, I you
17:17guys don't need me to tell you to start that man in fantasy football. It would make Romeo Dobs way more of a boomer
17:21robust wide receiver. Five, I have him as a boom robust wide receiver. Three, if AJB is in fact still going to be
17:26sideline, DJ Moore returned to practice on Friday. I believe he is officially listed as questionable for this one. So again, we'll see what happens. I get a
17:35little just concerned again with these shoulder injuries to guys like Neighbors, like DJ Moore, and just wondering if they're going to continue
17:41to be able to play through it. But DJ Moore is out there. Obviously, a great spot here against the Raiders. If he is
17:47sideline, Keon Coleman's a top 30 play for me. Keep an eye though on Joshua Palmer if he's going to be in there. It
17:52makes it a little bit tougher to get behind Keon, but of course DJ is the main guy there. Uh Commander wide
17:57receiver Stefon Digs seems like he was outstretching at practice on Friday, so he has a chance to come back for Monday
18:02night. would be a slight downgrade for Terry McLaren if that's going to be the case for Billy Steelers. DK Mechaf now
18:08questionable after not practicing on Friday with an illness. Again, it's an illness, so I'm not too worried. But Roman Wilson's out with a finger. I
18:14mean, Billy, god forbid, Mechaf is sick enough not to be able to play. Jerry Bernard all of a sudden a top 24 player.
18:21What a time to be alive.
18:22>> Wheels up and I mean Raj really has a lot of confidence in him right now. We don't have a lot of bodies. You're just
18:26going to see more of Frier Muth and Darnell Washington in my opinion. Um, but yeah, it would be an incredible spot. Even if DK does play, I still
18:33think it's a great spot for Bernard.
18:34Either way, he's definitely risen up the ranks after a strong performance last week.
18:39>> I agree, man. That honestly takes us to Chargers wide receiver Lad McConi because I'm debating like Bernard versus McConi. I think I'm going to give Lad
18:46the benefit of the doubt because it is a situation where he's not even carrying a designation. So, Lad got into full
18:51practice on Friday, but man, just such a broken Chargers offense. I'm going to go with Lad though. No Trey Harris. He's
18:57out with the hamstring injury. Quinton Johnson's back, but you know, who really cares at this point? NBS is also going to be out there. Brennan Thompson,
19:04Cander, Lambert Smith are questionable.
19:06So, Lad has been the one source of light in this offense all season long. I do have him as wide receiver 28 ahead of
19:13Josh Downs, Romeo Dobs, Xavier Worthy.
19:16I'd still start Jaylen Kok over him. I'd still start Luther Burton. I think it's close with Vale. I'd probably go lad
19:22over Vale. So, all right, we've worked it back to, you know, borderline wide receiver 2 and Billy. It's just still, it's so sad that with Trey Harris out
19:29and QJ being a zero, I can't rank loud any higher, but that's just the state of the Chargers right now in 2026. Uh, with
19:36the Raiders, keep an eye on Jaylen Naylor if he is going to be able to return back from this concussion. We'll
19:39find out again here in a little bit.
19:41That wouldn't be great news for Trey Tucker. Probably not going out of your way anyway. Also awaiting the probably imminent return of Deontay Thornton as
19:48well. Some guys who do have out though, Chiefs wide receiver Rice did not practice all week. He is sideline. I accordingly have Xavier Worthy wide
19:54receiver 33 against a banged up Chargers secondary. That's ahead of guys like Roma Dunce and Amika Ibabuka Cleo Shakur still behind Lakoni Bernard and Josh DS.
20:03I do prefer Jaylen Royals to Cyrus Allen guys. I think it's a bit of a tossup regardless but I've heard way more combo
20:09about Cyrus Allen. I would just note that on the Chiefs def chart they do have uh Jaylen Royals Azra She's direct
20:15backup. So I do think some of the more shorter design screen stuff could be going the Royals probably have better options to play anyway. Also know Texans
20:23wide receiver Tank Dell guy in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday. I know they've been kind of deliberate about how they want to be ramping him
20:29up, but it is concerning that he didn't practice at all on Friday. So maybe it was planned, but either way, he's listed
20:34as out. Will not be making his much anticipated return here this week. But we will be seeing the debut of Marvin
20:40Harrison Jr. Billy. So you got something real optimistic for us here, Billy? You know, two touchdowns, three touchdowns.
20:46What's our Marvin Harrison Junior prop play?
20:48>> Nah, no way, Jose. I like Marvin under one and a half catches. I mean, you know, it's it's they're traveling across
20:53the pond. He's coming in here, new playbook. Sure, I know he's familiar with the quarterback, right? College buddies with him. Um, but I just think
21:00there might be some design plays. Like, he's going to get a few opportunities for sure. They're going to try to showcase him, get him the ball. Um, but
21:06I just like his under one and a half receptions. You can get a roughly plus even one 100 minus 110 odds. Yeah, give
21:12me some unders on Mer if he's still the same guy.
21:16>> This is striking one, too. I haven't seen the numbers yet, but you know, Island early game. I could see a lot of
21:21people talk themselves in the over on this one and then accordingly being pretty sad when things don't go the way that the masses think. Over in the tight
21:28end streets, not too much here, but we do have again the return of Kenyan Sadik coming off that concussion. He is
21:33officially listed as questionable by Aaron Glenn said he's going to play. So, I got him as tight end 15 right there
21:38with Chigia Conquo, Kyle Pittz, and Coulson Lovelin. I do prefer Pat Frymouth and Brettton Strange, but hey, Kenyon Sadique certainly can make the
21:45most out of even a few opportunities. We do have some bad news though. Colts tight end Tyler Warren officially questionable guys. Got added to the
21:51injury report on Friday with a groin injury and listed as limited which is usually a good sign that in fact did
21:57happen in practice. So item is my tight end nine right behind Travis Kelce Don Cade and Jawan Johnson but ahead of
22:03Harold Fron fire and Brentton Strange.
22:06They play at one o'clock at least. So I hope that we do get some new you know just information before kickoff but yes
22:11certainly something to really be looking at. again. Pretty although Strange is playing in the morning, so that makes it a little bit tough.
22:19>> Yeah, >> I would say Pat Frymouth, guys, if you can get him because he was the only roster I think when I looked earlier
22:23this week in about 31% of Yahoo League.
22:26So, Pat Fryouth would be the next guy I would want just in case. Otherwise, I would say Darren Waller going up against
22:31the Eagles. Again, Eagles really bad against slot receivers. You can argue Darren Waller pretty much a slot receiver in his own right. And then
22:38Billy Ravens tight end Matthew Hner. is out with a hand injury which I did not think was going to be making my sheet
22:43but you have maybe my favorite prop play of the year here. Let the people know about Josh Quuevas.
22:48>> Well, it's just a long shot right and we're talking a little sprinkle here and as of recording I saw that Fandle had
22:53his anytime touchdown at plus 900. So $10 would pay you out $90. Well if you can get this on a Bet Rivers a Valley
22:59bet your Cami Sports Books guys they're paying out plus $2400. So that same $10 wage would pay you out $240. So, this is
23:07your longot lotto touchdown possibly of the year. I might sprinkle these in a few more once or twice uh on the show
23:13just in case if you guys like it. Um definitely let me know in the comments below when he cashes. If you tailed it,
23:18make sure to subscribe to the channel because this is just a crazy payout over on the Bet Rivers um sports book. Can't
23:24beat it.
23:25>> That's all I'm looking for, man. All right. I'm not I don't have the time or the inclination or just the discipline
23:31to actively be grinding these, you know, small edges. Give me a lot of money all at once. It won't happen. But you guys
23:36can imagine what it'd be like if it did.
23:38Guys, got some more injuries to talk through. Quick break though from football for a second because the NBA tips off next Tuesday. So, it's Fantasy
23:44Hoops draft week. If you're not already a Road to Wire Fantasy Pass subscriber, shame on you. No, I'm just kidding. It's
23:50a free country. I get it. But hey, this would be the time to sign up. Fantasy Pass Pro gets you the NBA draft kit for
23:56draft day. And then once the season starts, the lineup optimizer and projected ownership for your DFF slates.
24:01Again, there's a link in the description and use code hoops25 for 25% off the fantasy pass pro. Get yourself ready for
24:07NBA. Again, hoops 25 for 25% off. All right, guys. Did have some O line and defensive injuries that again when they
24:14kind of get grouped up together, I do believe to start being a little bit more of the relevant variety. So, Panthers
24:19offensive line a little bit banged up.
24:21Offensive tackle Monroe Freeling officially doubtful with the knee injury and their guard Damen Lewis is also banged up and questionable. So, they
24:28maybe could be getting Taylor Moten back from the blood clot issue. But look, I'm starting Chuba. I'm starting T-Mac, Bryce, and Coker and everything like
24:35that. I will say the Eagles, as down bad as they are, they have made it competitive these last two weeks against
24:40the Rams, against the Jaguars in large part because they got some freaking demons in that front seven. So, obviously not the group that you want to
24:47have a banged up offensive line against.
24:49Speaking of banged up offensive lines, Chargers will once again be without Joe and they also lost a starting guard.
24:54It's so funny, Billy. Like for example, I love Steven Ruiz. He does work at Fox Sports now. I've always read him about
25:00the ringer, like a longtime fan and everything. And I don't even think he's wrong in his latest, you know, thing he
25:04was talking about with Herbert. He said he went back and he watched week five and his kind of takeaway was just what
25:09can you expect Herbert to do? And like look at the actual starters he was with.
25:13I agree with that. I don't think there's anything Herbert can do right now. The problem, Billy, is that that wasn't the
25:18case for the first month of the year and we saw absolutely nothing out of Justin Herver. So, it's just this thing, man,
25:23where we've never seen Herbert be worse than he is now. I don't know how it gets any better for him moving forward with
25:30all these injuries. Just just a complete train wreck of the year for the Chargers if we haven't made that clear enough.
25:34>> I mean, this is why I just love football. I mean, sports is just so unpredictable. At the beginning of the
25:38year, we loved the pairing with McDonald and we loved Harbaugh and we just, you know, this is going to be a great
25:43offense wheels up and a very tough division and it's just went the complete opposite. And now this schedule still doesn't get any easier after this week.
25:51You know, is Harbaugh going to be able to keep his job after seven or eight games? Uh, you know, or are they going
25:56to give I don't I don't know what the fix is, but it looks like a complete train wreck.
26:01>> And guys, the big takeaway for this would be I know a lot of people they usually cut their DSTs during by-week.
26:06So, if you did happen to see the Chiefs out there, Chargers this week, and then we get the Sam Darnold Seahawks offense
26:12that is looking worse than ever at this point, then the Broncos, which is work looking worse than ever. Jets, Falcons, Cardinals. You would not have to be
26:19worrying about the Chiefs DST until Thanksgiving guys when they take on the Bills would be a great great pickup if at all possible. Speaking of those
26:25Chargers though, on the other side of the ball, Duran James out with the hamstrings. So, is the starting quarterback Dante Jackson even got
26:31Rodney Shelley Doubtful. So again, more good news for Xavier Worthy and one Travis Kelce in this spot. Bad news for the Rams though, quarterback Trent
26:39McDuffy, he suffered a groin injury on Friday. He is now officially questionable. He's been a big reason why only Khalil Shakur has gained more than
26:4650 yards receiving against this group at the wide receiver position this year and he needed overtime to do it. Would really be a nice boost there for Michael
26:53Wilson and really the entire Cardinals passing game. More on them in a bit. Uh Brown's front seven is banged up. They
26:59could be getting healthier though. Mason Graham, Derek Barnett are questionable.
27:02Mike calls out again and their linebacker Carson Swinginger is questionable with an ankle injury. But you know, it's Derk County. We're
27:07starting him even if there's a freaking fire out here. Good news for the Patriots. Christian Gonzalez is back from a shoulder injury. It's a big
27:14reason why I have Garrett Wilson. As someone who, look, I would be very hardressed to think that you guys are in
27:19a position not to be starting Garrett Wilson. But, you know, my wide receiver video, I said something about starting, you know, the two Packers wide receivers
27:25no matter what. And Billy, you would not believe some of the lineups that I did see. So, we got some absolute ballers
27:30out here listening. and I appreciate you guys. So again, tough tie breakers, you know, between Parker Washington or Matthew Golden and Gary Wilson. I would
27:38then use the matchup against Christian Gonzalez as that tiebreaker to go ahead and sit the talented Ohio State product.
27:44Buccaneers secondary, Antoine Winfield out again with the rib injury, Benjamin Morrison doubtful with a quad injury, and quarterback Aiden Garn questionable
27:51with an ankle injury. So good news for all the Steelers, Billy. This one did not make one of your recommended props.
27:56And I'm not going to use it for the better slip, but it was one of my finalists. Aaron Rogers plus money for
28:02over one and a half passing touchdowns.
28:04He's hit three in each of the last three weeks. It's a banged up Buccaneer secondary. And my favorite thing is when
28:09I can find stats that quantify exactly what I feel like I'm seeing out there in any given Sunday. And when I watch Aaron
28:15Rogers, I see someone like just like last week, five wide, empty on the freaking one yard line. Like this dude wants to get his touchdowns, want to get
28:22close to the goal line. Sure enough, I looked it up. Easily the number one offense and pass play rate inside the 10
28:28yard line is the Pittsburgh Steelers over one and a half. Billy, how hard is that?
28:32>> I mean, McCarthy's going to sit there in the press conference and say, "Listen, we got to run the football more." But I
28:37got my buddies up in Milwaukee been telling me this for a long time. He's still going to throw the ball a ton.
28:41Rogers wants to throw the ball. I get I lose my mind when I see him at the one in there shotgun empty set, but you
28:47know, it's Rogers. He knows what he's doing with the football. And again like we you talked about Frier Muth I mean if
28:52DK's out he's a great play and even if he is DK's in the lineup I still love the M youuth here. So yeah over one and
28:58a half passing touchdowns because the Buccaneers front seven you know with Vita it's it's no joke. So they're going to want to you know run the ball through
29:04the air basically. So I like the over one and a half.
29:07>> Another part too again we usually see pass funnel sort of tendencies against VA and company. Uh Cowboys defense I was
29:14going to say they're getting a little bit healthier but Joey Porter Jr.
29:16actually went from a full practice on Thursday to limited on Friday with this ankle injury. So, that's not ideal. And then the Murphy overshown is still
29:23questionable with the hamstring. But let's face it, even if those two guys did return, we're still starting all the Packers and feeling great about it. So,
29:30that wraps up the injury stuff, guys. No Olly Williams weather report this week.
29:33The only game that there's even somewhat question about is actually the London game where we have to worry about some amount of rain in the morning. So, keep
29:41an eye on that as we get closer to Sunday. But right now it just seems like a chance of rain probably not going to
29:46be too many winds. I will say Kevin Roth does see I Okay, let me I guess we are doing the Ollie Williams weather report.
29:53Okay, Kevin Roth does see Steelers Buccaneers. This is the one he says the weather could be a potential factor.
29:58Winds look to be a bit over 15 miles per hour sustained gusting between 25 and 30. So in Kevin's opinion, which again
30:05you can find on myportsweather.com, he could see that impacting long field goals, maybe a deep throw or two most of the game plays without wind impacting
30:12the outcome. So, I don't know, Billy.
30:14Like, for me to make a meaningful weather impact, whether it's the overunder, props, or fancy decisions, like I like to see multiple factors or
30:21one extreme one, you know, like a huge downpour, just winds going crazy, 15 mile hour sustain, that's not doing much for me.
30:29>> No, I mean, I I start to get excited if it's 20 to 25 mph winds because then I'm looking to bet unders and or overs on
30:35rushing attempts and whatnot. But, um, >> yeah, for this one, not really too much of a concern.
30:41So Olly Williams, thank you for that weather report. Quick, quickly though, guys, a quick shout out to our friends over at Circa because you can catch
30:48every drive, every play, and every touchdown poolside stadium swim at Circa Resort and Casino in downtown Las Vegas.
30:54One of the coolest things that you can do, take it all in from six temperature control pools, or claim your place in a
30:59lounge share, daybed, or even a private cabana, baby, with a massive 143 foot screen and immersive audio. You won't just watch the action, you will feel it.
31:08Make stadium swim circuit resort and casino your game day ritual. You can reserve your spot in the sun today at circa las vegas.com.
31:16Time to get better, Billy. We were so close to nailing this one last week, but Cam Ward had to ruin our fund and have
31:22over 19 and a half completions, which was ridiculous, man. I remember later in the day going back and being like, "Oh,
31:28let me see how much money hit my account." And I was like, "What do you mean Cam Ward got over that in that
31:32atrocious game that they were playing out there?" But hey, America loves a comeback. And accordingly, we are back with our better slips of the week. And
31:40with that, Billy, I'm tossing it over to you. You have an over for a quarterback that I wouldn't necessarily expect, but
31:45you know what? Given the game script and everything, I see where you're coming from.
31:48>> That's where I'm thinking with the game script. We're looking at Jaylen Daniels, Tampa Bay. Remember guys, Jaylen with an L. Um, the quarterback for the Bucks
31:54this weekend. Over 17 and a half completions. It's a solid price. Sharp books think that this is an edge.
31:59Better's just giving us too good of a price right here. Um, as long as if Jaylen can read zone defense, then we're
32:05in a good spot because nobody plays more zone than the Steelers. So, um, he's gonna find some holes in there. And then
32:10honestly, if the Steelers do get out to an early lead or, you know, have that lead later on where it's a
32:14two-possession game, they're going to have to throw a bit more. So, um, you know, it's just can Jaylen, can we just
32:20check it down a few more times to the back instead of just taking off and running right away. So, that's my first
32:25pick. And then the next one's going to be Cameron Dicker, the kicker, over five and a half kicking points in that Chiefs
32:29Chargers game. The Chiefs defense is just really, really, really good. I see a lot of drives stalling here for the Chargers. I don't necessarily see the
32:37Chargers getting in the end zone, but I do see two field goals from Cameron Dicker. So, give me the over five and a
32:42half kicking points. Again, nice little edge to the sharp books. So, those are my two plays for the better slip >> with Dicker. Obviously, not going to be
32:49a weather concern there. And yeah, not exactly expecting the Chargers to be flirting with touchdowns. So, I like the field goal cause there. Yeah, Jaylen
32:55Daniels made his hitting 19 pass attempts in each of these first two games and those have obviously been a win for them against the Cowboys and
33:01then a kind of back and forth game down the wire against the Packers. So, if the Steelers do get up, really like that
33:06call. My two better picks for this week, guys, I got Bashaw Tutin over seven and a half receiving yards. It's honestly
33:11such a low line. I'm just I'm wondering if I'm just absolutely missing something. Again, there could be some rain out there, but this season in five
33:17games, we've seen Toutin go for 22, 17, 18, 24, and then one game with negative three receiving yards. All right. So,
33:24again, I'm not saying it's a guarantee or anything like that, but the usage is trending up. He's hit this in four or
33:29five games. I've talked about it throughout the week on my kind of rankings and tiers episodes where we've seen the Jaguars in this matchup really
33:35spike up their drop back rate over expected. And as Billy mentioned, when we do see teams run a lot of zone
33:40coverage, we can expect more checkdowns to the tight ends and running backs. And when you look at Houston, guys, fifth most zone coverage this season. So, love
33:47Bay Tutin over seven and a half receiving yards. I'm also going with Kendrick Bourne over three and a half receptions plus money on this one which
33:54surprises me here. He had five receptions on eight targets last week.
33:57He did not take the Marvin Marvin Harrison Jr. role. In fact, when you look at the average route depth across the league, we're seeing Kendrick Bourne
34:04down there with Khalil Shakur, like the lowest AOT guys out there. So, they actually went ahead and they're sacrificing something named Jaylen
34:10Brooks uh with the Marvin Harrison Jr. X role. So, I think we get more double teams as we saw last week to Michael
34:16Wilson and Trey McBride. And no Jeremiah Love. I I'm not saying that Kendrick Borne is going to get 10 yards, Billy,
34:22but I think he can get four catches out there. So Kendrick Bourne over three and a half catches. Bashaw Tuton over seven
34:28and a half receiving yards. Billy's got Cameron Dicker over 5.5 kicking points.
34:31And Jaylen Danners oval Jaylen Daniels, excuse me, over 17 and a half. Pretty good payout here. I'm trying to look real quick at what we got. 10 doll hairs
34:41to win 130 Billy.
34:43>> Well, I appreciate you just taking the first pick with Tootton in that London game, you know. So, you're setting the
34:47tone and I love that. But yeah, that's a great payout and we're going to hit this one this week for sure.
34:52>> Feeling good, feeling nice. Hopefully your fantasy teams are as well. But if not, again, America loves to come back, pick yourself up that dirt, dust those
35:00shoulders off, and get that lineup right ahead of week six. So, appreciate you guys tuning in. As always, if you like
