Player analysis
Player insights
Aaron Jones
PositiveProjection20:58
Aaron Jones is viewed as a high-end RB2 (ranked 13-18) for Week 4. The source highlights his increased reception volume (five catches last week) and consistent workload (45 touches over the last two weeks) as positive indicators.
Insight pageAmon-Ra St. Brown
PositiveUsage5:36
Amon-Ra St. Brown is expected to have a productive 'smash' performance in the upcoming matchup against Carolina, as the opponent is missing their top two cornerbacks, creating a favorable environment for the Lions' passing attack.
Insight pageBraelon Allen
PositiveUsage4:21
Braelon Allen is recommended as a start over David Montgomery due to his projected full workload, despite an expectation that he will share approximately 30% of backfield snaps with Isaiah Davis. While he is a viable flex option, he is currently ranked behind Bucky Irving, who the source believes holds more volume and is playing at a higher level.
Insight pageCam Akers
PositiveUsage10:18
Cam Akers has successfully regained his role as a receiver, achieving an 18.8% to 20% target share in his recent performance, confirming the source's prior expectations.
Insight pageD.J. Moore
PositiveValue30:46
DJ Moore is considered a locked-in borderline WR1. The source highlights his elite usage, noting he is a 'target dog' who is playing at an elite level with Josh Allen, who is finally a quarterback capable of utilizing his skill set.
Insight pageDarren Waller
PositiveUsage37:48
Darren Waller is a recommended start against the Lions, who are ranked 32nd against tight ends. His usage is expected to increase if Coker is out.
Insight pageDavid Montgomery
NegativeValue26:08
The source advises caution with David Montgomery, noting he has looked poor recently and the offense lacks a downfield threat without Nico Collins, though he retains touchdown upside against a weak Dallas run defense.
Insight pageDeshaun Watson
NegativeProjection4:07
Despite posting back-to-back low-end QB1 finishes, Deshaun Watson is viewed negatively as a passer. His fantasy production is attributed more to the weak overall quarterback landscape than his own performance, and his offensive limitations are noted as a drag on his teammates' production.
Insight pageDrake Maye
NegativeBust8:36
Drake Maye is considered borderline unstartable in fantasy formats. The source notes a lack of deep threats following roster departures, which allows defenses to press receivers and crowd the box, hindering both his passing and rushing upside. The performance has been poor enough that the source has resorted to trading for veteran quarterbacks in dynasty leagues.
Insight pageEmeka Egbuka
NegativeProjection30:17
Emeka Egbuka faces a significant offensive downgrade with Jaylen Daniels starting at quarterback for Tampa Bay. While there is a potential argument for Egbuka due to tunnel vision from rookie signal callers and Chris Godwin being banged up, the source prefers DJ Moore over him.
Insight pageGarrett Wilson
PositiveProjection0:56
Garrett Wilson is a must-start player following a strong stretch of 10 catches for 107 yards and back-to-back touchdowns. While the host views him as a top-five wide receiver for Week 4, Jim Coventry suggests a slightly more conservative WR6-WR8 range due to the potential for a run-heavy game script from the Bears, though he acknowledges Wilson's high-end target potential.
Insight pageJadarian Price
NegativeInjury12:36
Jadarian Price should be sat due to an ankle injury and a lack of trust from the coaching staff following a fumble last week. The source expresses general distrust in the Seattle backfield rotation.
Insight pageJalen Coker
NegativeProjection18:05
Jaylen Coker is considered a good play, but the source prefers Jaylen Waddle this week because Waddle is expected to see higher target volume in a high-scoring environment against San Francisco.
Insight pageJameson Williams
PositiveMatchup28:29
The source strongly recommends starting Jameson Williams this week against Carolina, citing the absence of cornerbacks JC Horn and Mike Jackson, a healthy offensive line, and a favorable shootout game script that allows for downfield plays.
Insight pageJaylen Waddle
PositiveProjection18:06
Jaylen Waddle is preferred over Jaylen Coker this week. Despite recent inconsistent performances, the source expects Waddle to see around 10 targets in a high-scoring shootout against the 49ers.
Insight pageJaylen Warren
NegativeUsage20:07
Jaylen Warren is noted for his ability to gash Cincinnati's defense by running to the outside, contrasting with the team's internal struggles when running inside.
Insight pageJordan Love
PositiveProjection7:43
Jordan Love is a must-start for Week 4 against Tampa Bay. Despite Green Bay's offensive line struggles—noted as having less than 2.5 seconds to throw—Love has maintained high volume, ranking fourth in passing yards with six touchdowns through three weeks. The source cautions that the offensive line's inability to protect him may limit his effectiveness against teams that press receivers, but he remains a strong play this week.
Insight pageJosh Downs
PositiveBreakout36:56
Josh Downs is recommended as a start against Washington. The source anticipates a 'smash week' based on his recent usage trends and favorable matchup.
Insight pageKeenan Allen
NegativeRole39:41
The source questions the necessity of Keenan Allen in the upcoming game, noting that while he was needed against Houston in the middle of the field last week, his role may be different this week.
Insight pageKenyon Sadiq
PositiveValue10:37
Kenyan Sadiq is a recommended start in the flex spot, particularly in tight end premium PPR formats, where the source prefers him over Romeo Doubs and Tony Pollard. The source emphasizes that this is not a close decision.
Insight pageLuther Burden
PositiveRole28:18
Luther Burden is recommended as a safer start than Jameson Williams due to his consistent target volume and status as the primary read in his offense. He is preferred over David Montgomery and Jameson Williams in flex spots and is recommended for his floor in PPR formats over Juwan Johnson.
Insight pageMalik Nabers
NegativeProjection5:54
Malik Nabers is a recommended start in full PPR formats, with a projected stat line of approximately 6 catches for 60 yards and scoring potential. While his quarterback situation remains a concern, Jameis Winston may provide just enough production to sustain Nabers' fantasy value. His recent usage has trended toward a low-aDOT role similar to Wan'Dale Robinson.
Insight pageMatthew Golden
NegativeValue14:26
The source ranks Matthew Golden as a top-20 wide receiver but prefers starting Nico Collins over him in PPR formats.
Insight pageMichael Wilson
PositiveUsage55:53
Michael Wilson is a high-priority flex start following a 17-target performance last week. The source suggests riding the 'heater' against the Giants, noting that Jacoby Brissett has been effective with him and Marvin Harrison Jr. is not currently involved in the offense, though Trey McBride could potentially cannibalize his target share.
Insight pageNico Collins
PositiveProjection14:26
The source ranks Nico Collins as a borderline top-10 wide receiver for the week, citing his role as a game-breaker and a favorable matchup against a depleted Dallas secondary. He is preferred over Matthew Golden in PPR formats.
Insight pageOllie Gordon
PositiveValue12:36
Ollie Gordon is a recommended start over Jadarian Price. The source notes that Miami's running game may see increased production because defenses are not selling out to stop it, and Gordon is preferred over the uncertain Seattle backfield situation.
Insight pagePat Freiermuth
NegativeUsage22:02
Pat Freiermuth is a risky start because Darnell Washington has been cutting into his tight end work over the last two weeks.
Insight pageQuinshon Judkins
PositiveBreakout11:06
Quinshon Judkins is viewed as a long-term star and a three-down back currently hampered by a poor offensive line. The source recommends holding him in dynasty trades over players like Bucky Irving, projecting a potential blowup season in his third year.
Insight pageRashee Rice
PositiveProjection40:35
Rashee Rice is preferred as a start over Mike Evans, who is considered a risky option due to recurring injury issues, having dealt with four separate injuries since August.
Insight pageSam LaPorta
PositiveProjection4:27
Sam LaPorta is a must-start TE6 or TE7 for Week 4, with underlying metrics suggesting a 'smash week' is imminent. He remains the Lions' clear number two target option and benefits from a positive offense and a favorable matchup against Carolina.
Insight pageTony Pollard
NegativeInjury10:47
Tony Pollard is advised against as a start due to an ankle injury. The source notes that even if he plays, he is likely less than 100% and lacks a significant fantasy ceiling.
Insight pageTrevor Lawrence
PositiveProjection19:36
Trevor Lawrence is the preferred start over Tyler Shough in a five-point passing touchdown league, as the source expects a high-scoring shootout against Cincinnati's weak linebackers. Lawrence is also preferred over Bryce Young for his safer floor.
Insight pageTrey McBride
NegativeUsage58:22
The source warns that Trey McBride could see up to 15 targets in the upcoming game, which might cannibalize Michael Wilson's production despite Wilson's recent high target volume.
Insight pageTyler Shough
PositiveProjection19:36
Tyler Shough is considered a strong starting option who consistently puts up numbers, though he is ranked slightly behind Trevor Lawrence for this week's matchup due to the high-scoring environment expected in the Jacksonville-Cincinnati game.
Insight pageTyler Warren
PositiveUsage58:35
Tyler Warren is a must-start tight end against Washington. The matchup is favorable due to injuries to Washington's interior defenders and secondary, and Warren has shown strong usage with 10 targets and a rushing attempt last week.
Insight pageWan'Dale Robinson
NegativeUsage6:02
Wan'Dale Robinson is referenced as a stylistic comparison for Malik Nabers' recent usage, specifically highlighting a low average depth of target (aDOT) role within the Giants' offense.

Episode Transcript
0:03Week four fantasy football start sit decision. Steo Greinger right here at Rotoire. Joined by Rotoire's resident balln knower Jim Coventry. We're
0:11breaking down all of your start sits needs in a must-win week four. Week four is sort of like when the rubber meets
0:18the road Jim where you got some fantasy managers who are 0 and3. You've got some fantasy managers who are one and two and
0:25they feel like if you can just get to 500 and become two and two, you're in great shape. Or if I can just win that
0:31first game and get to one and three, then I can rip off a bunch of other ones. 0 and four. See you. It's tough.
0:36It's really tough. We will try to try to get you back there, but we really want to get you this win in week four. So,
0:42we're going to take your questions, but my first question for you is, Jim, I'm doing my rankings now. Flex rankings over at Rotoire. You get access to
0:49Jim's, get access to mine. Uh, use the code Theo40 or Jim 40. Get 40% off of any sub. Get access to all of our
0:56rankings all year long. But I want to rank Garrett Wilson as a top five wide receiver this week. I want to put him in
1:01the top five this week. Last week was awesome. Um, I had Jacob Gibbs on and I talked about it with you. We all sort of
1:07anticipated a big uh Garrett Wilson week and he delivered uh back-to-back weeks with touchdowns and last week of course he had the 10 catches, 107 receiving
1:18yards. this week going up against your Chicago Bears, how high are you ranking them this week, Jim?
1:23>> So, it makes sense to put him in the top five. It's just when you do these rankings, you've got names like Chris
1:29Olive, Drake London, guys that you know are getting 12 targets in most games.
1:35And Garrett Wilson could do that, too.
1:37But at the end of the day, Garrett Wilson, you're starting him no matter what. So, if I put him at wide receiver
1:4414, it doesn't really matter because you're starting him no matter what.
1:47Maybe it's a DFS. Call it that. Here's the one thing that I think about when I break the game down. The Bears. The
1:55Bears had a weird game plan that worked perfectly against Philly. They're probably going to come out and they're going to run the ball down the Jets
2:01throats. They're going to run their two and three tight end sets. Swift and Manungi are going to go nuts. If the
2:06Bears have it their way, they're going to run 35 40 times in this game. And if they do that successfully, they shorten
2:12the game significantly. Garrett Wilson's a great play. And like you said, if you put it at five, I have no question with
2:17that. But I think that there's and with Gino Smith, there's always a worry that at some point he's gonna be Gino Smith.
2:24But again, start Wilson. I got him a little lower, but I have no qualms with wide receiver five.
2:29>> Yeah. I mean, like wide receiver 6, seven, eight, he's somewhere in that in that range there. It's it's tough. I
2:34just looked at it. It's like, do I drop an Aman Raw, a Jamar Chase, like you can't drop JSN. Um Chris is my guy.
2:43You're right. It's really tough. And then, you know, the the top of the wide receiver uh food chain right now, Drake
2:48London also, you know, nipping at those guys heels with that insane target share, that insane performance last Thursday. What are you buying into? Uh
2:55quick little Thursday aside, we try not to talk about the Thursday games, but you're also a really you're Jim is also
3:00dropping like really sharp betting advice each and every week over at Rotoire Live. I saw last week's with Nick Whan. Really good stuff. What about
3:07this streak with the the Cleveland Browns on Thursday nights? They've won like seven straight Thursday night games and I think they're six- one since 2019
3:16at home against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
3:19You got an early winner for this game, Jim.
3:21>> You know what? Right now, three points.
3:23I saw the line taking the points all day long. And Pittsburgh, I'm not buying their defense from last week. For whatever reason, Cincinnati looks jackal
3:30and hide on defense. Rogers had like three and a half seconds to throw and he was taking it. Well, he ain't getting
3:35three and a half seconds against the Browns. The Browns actually Swinginger at linebacker. Jared Verse looks good.
3:41Mason Graham looks really good. They're not getting time to throw here. It's going to be a muddy slop. Now, I mean
3:47muddy like weatherwise. I mean muddy as in gameplay. It's going to be one of those muddy slop fest in terms of
3:51quality of play. It's going to be like 1716 divisional game though. You you need to notice Theo divisional games bring out the worst in each of these
4:00teams. You either get like a 40 to 39 shootout or you get a 13 and you know 10. Take the points. Just take the
4:07points. The Browns may or may not win because Deshawn Watson, he's winning, but he doesn't look good as a passer.
4:13>> Yeah. Uh he's had back-to-back low-end QB1 finishes, but it's sort of like more of an indictment against the entire quarterback position rather than like
4:21Deshun Watson. Um one other player that we didn't talk about with the Jets, and I'm sure we'll talk about Brilland Allen
4:27upcoming, but here's a question. We're getting a bunch of Kenyon Sadi questions in the chat. Here's a fun one. Kenyan Sadi or Sam Leaporta this week. It's
4:35it's Leaporta for me. I mean, I love Sadi, but I think he's probably a little bit more of a low-end tight end one this
4:42week. Uh maybe a high-end tight end two, whereas Leaporta probably comes in right around tight end six land, tight end 7.
4:50Um maybe you could make an argument for tight end five. Leaporta were all of like the underlying metrics say that Leaporta is going to put up a smash week
4:57again at some point soon. Running a ton of routes. We know it's a positive offense. Where are you at on Sadique
5:02versus Leaporta this week? Full disclosure, I did a couple videos last week and I pushed Sadique hard as a flex. Like a flex like a not just a
5:11tight end streamer, but a flex because I said last week the Lions were down two safeties. They're down like third string
5:17safeties. And once Mason Taylor was out, I said Sadique's going to have a game. I didn't I didn't see 100 yards coming. So
5:23that game we knew it was going to be big. The Bears are down safeties, but I'm telling you, the Bears are going to
5:29run the ball really well in this game.
5:31The volume's going to be down. Sadik's a fine play. You cannot sit Sam Leaporta and I know Leaporta hasn't been great
5:36but they're playing Carolina this week and Leaporta doesn't have the usual upside because their top two corners are out. So Williams and St. Brown are going
5:43to eat but Leaporta's floor is more reliable. Consider Sadi Boober bust if you want to shoot for that. You could get a three. [snorts] Maybe he gets a
5:52touchdown.
5:54>> Oh my gosh. Here we're we're we're down bad with this one. Kenyon Sadi or Malik Neighbors. Uh flex full PPR. Full PPR.
6:02Go Malik Neighbors. I know they turned him into 2024 Wand Del Robinson last week in terms of like the low AOT role.
6:09Gosh, we're down bad. We're down bad with Malik Neighbors right now.
6:14>> You know, it's tough because last week was a weather fest. It got better in the second half, but it it wasn't ever good.
6:21And they were leading, so the Giants didn't need to throw the ball. I'm looking at neighbors in terms of Yeah. I
6:26mean, what do you have? Five for 26 in that game. Yes. But nobody was going to produce in that game. you knew before
6:31the game nobody was producing. Now that said, he's going to get some targets here. I think you got you can't sit
6:38neighbors here. Neighbors probably get you six for 60. He has a chance to score. Jamus again, he may be terrible, but I think what we've seen so far, you
6:47saw him come in in relief. You saw a horrible weather game. He might be able to get just enough out of neighbors to
6:52get him. Okay.
6:54>> Yeah, we're down bad when we're having that that sort of conversation. A quick note that this show is brought to you by
6:59Better. If you're watching football and want a little more action on the games, check out Better. Make your picks on your favorite players or jump into the
7:05Better Sports Book for spreads, totals, and moneylines. It's all in one app. Go check out Better. Uh Jim, let's continue the conversation. We want to we we'll
7:13pivot away from uh the Jets for a moment. Let's go over to the quarterback position because we've got it's like a
7:20it's like a double-edged sword here where the offensive line in Green Bay is so horrible right now. It's the worst in
7:26the NFL in pass blocking and it's the worst in the NFL at run blocking. They have the fewest amount of rushing yards
7:33through three weeks since of of any team since 1933.
7:37>> But what it's done is it's turned them into sort of a a big-time pass volume team. And you've got Jordan Love and
7:44you've got Matthew Golden and Christian Watson where there's these really high target totals, really high point totals from both wide receivers. Jordan Love
7:51has six passing touchdowns on the year and he's fourth in passing yards overall at the quarterback position. Is he like a mustart this week against the Tampa
8:00Bay Buccaneers?
8:01>> He definitely is. And what's going to happen with Green Bay is going to be this. When they play a team with two
8:06good corners, I mean two like above average, not great corners. What they're going to start doing on Green Bay is because Green Bay is like less than two
8:13and a half seconds to throw. They're going to press the two receivers and they know that there'll be no time. But
8:18not this week. Tampa Bay, Zion McCullum, Benjamin Morrison, they're not really in the class of Watson and Golden. So, they're going to continue to eat, but
8:26you're going to run into some weeks where if that the other teams have anything to corner, it's going to be press them because Love will have no
8:32time to throw. And it's But not this week. You keep rolling with these guys.
8:36>> Yeah, we're getting uh Stephen calling us out on our bad advice last week for Drake May over Kirk Cousins advice. That
8:42was We were down bad with that one. Jim, we have we seen the bottom for Drake May? I mean, it's really bad. I know I
8:49have a couple of dynasty teams with Drake May, single QB format, dynasty teams, where I went out and I like traded for a veteran this week. This is
8:56this is scary times for Drake May managers in every format. Right now, he looks like the worst possible pick you could have made at the quarterback
9:03position in reddraft leagues. Uh, based on this early start, QB23 is his weekly high. Does it get better this week against Buffalo? Stephen Steven's
9:13calling us out. We got to we got to double down on this one.
9:15>> Yeah, Stephen, sorry we blew that one for you. The biggest problem was advising to start Kirk Cousins. And there were always two ways that game at
9:22New Orleans could go. That game could have gone 13 to 10. And then in these weird games, you could have the shootout
9:28and that's what happened. I didn't bet on the shootout. That's exactly what happened. But that's where we missed that one. But with Drake May, here's the
9:34problem. They traded away Kahan Booty and AJ Brown shirt. They have no deep threat. They have nobody to stretch the field. So now defenses know that they
9:42can press everything in. Where does Drake May have to go? He and he has no separation from his receivers. If you
9:48can't separate in the short area with extra bodies in there, May has no help.
9:53And with bodies up closer, it's harder for him to run. It's going to be a problem. Drake May is borderline unstartable until AJ Brown gets back at
10:00which point that will as long as he can run and that ankle's healed, right? At that point, we fine. You cannot really
10:06start him in good faith. But it was week three last week. We we had to give him the benefit of the doubt for last season
10:12still.
10:13>> Yeah. And we gave a lot a lot of correct takes last week, too. So, we can run back the tape. I I'd say we were way way
10:18more correct than than incorrect. Uh, we also told you Cam Scatter would get back on track as a receiver. Certainly did
10:25that. 20% 18.8 or something% target share for him. I was going to say 20%.
10:30People love calling me out on mistakes.
10:32Let's go. Let's go with this one. Here's another fun one. This is from Patrick Cooney in the chat.
10:37>> Romeo Dobs, Tony Pard, or Kenyan Sadi at the flex spot in a tight end premium PPR scoring format. I'm rolling Sadiq all
10:44day long in tight end premium over these two guys. How about you?
10:47>> Yeah, and it's not close. Pard's on an ankle injury. He probably plays, but if he's anything less than 100%, it's
10:53already bad enough. He already has like no ceiling. So, yeah, forget that one.
10:57It's Sadique.
10:58>> Yeah, I 100% agreed. Uh we had one more question in the chat. It's actually a dynasty trade question. Trade Dak and
11:07Judkins for Bashel Tutin. Um, and then two of Harold Fannon Jr., Matthew. I'm trying to find this this question in the
11:14chat. It's not showing up on the screen.
11:16There it goes. Okay, here it is. From beer battered gummy shark. We rarely take these dynasty questions, but we'll take this is we'll do two dynasty
11:23questions max on this show. Uh, for the reddraft listeners, don't tune out, guys. Trade Dak and Quinn Sean Judkins for Bashel Tutin. And then the other I
11:33think it's two questions here. Um, we can't do all of these ones. Let's let's pick pick your favorite one here, Jim.
11:39Um, Dak and Judkins for Toutton. Look, Tutin's been fine. He's been wonderful, but at the end of the day, he's getting
11:46some of the goal line work, not all of it. He's getting some catches, but not all of it. Judkins is going to Right
11:52now, Judkins doesn't have a line.
11:53They're learning together. When that line gets decent, Judkins is a star.
11:57He's a three down back. Toutton isn't the Dak and Judkins side. Easy.
12:02>> Yeah, I I I really like Quinnon Judkins long term. Like you said, there there's some issues this year. the offensive
12:08line. Um, and certainly like we talked about Deshun Watson, some limitations offensively. I think you're going to see more and more like quick hitters to
12:16Casey Conpsion, get the ball out of his hands, get it to Harold Fannon, use his yak ability. It's going to be pretty
12:21balanced. But down the line, if you end up with like a stud quarterback in Cleveland in in Quinch Judkins year three, you could see an absolute blowup
12:29season. There's a reason he was drafted so early. Uh, Nikki Banks in the chat.
12:34Nikki Banks always supporting my shows.
12:36Olly Gordon or Jadarian Price. Jarian Price banged up this week. I'm going Olly Gordon. The the unknown. I'm rolling the dice here and I'm going Olly
12:44Gordon here over Jadarian Price. I didn't think I'd be I didn't think I'd have this sort of take, but last week we
12:50saw this this huge split in Seattle. We know Jarian Price a little bit banged up. I don't trust any of these backs in
12:56Seattle. Uh I'm going I'm going Olly Gordon. I mean, this could back completely backfire, but I'm going Gordon. Jadarian Price fumbled early
13:03last week and they basically relegated him and that was rough because it was an easy matchup and he had a chance to use
13:09him. But right now he doesn't have the trust of the coaching staff. So I'm with you on it. Theo I got to speak generally
13:14for everybody out there about the Ali Gordon and the Jaylen Wright thing. This is what I want everybody to know. First
13:20of all, I hear people saying, "Well, Devon Chan was only getting 11 points a game. How are either of these guys going
13:25to score fantasy points?" It's really easy to explain this. Defense has only had one person to stop when Achan was there. Every defense said, "We're
13:32stopping Achan because we don't trust your quarterback. We don't trust your receivers. Achan's only got to beat."
13:38Now, when defenses play them, nobody gives a darn about Ali Gordon and Jaylen Wright. Defenses are going to make sure they can't throw the ball. They're going
13:45to give them short runs because they're not going to get Miami is not killing away in the run game. So, believe it or
13:51not, Miami's running game will actually put up some production because defenses are not selling out on it. Ali Gordon.
13:58Just be careful with Jaylen Wright. He's unquestionable. I still think Jaylen Wright is probably the pass catcher out of the two. Even though Gordon caught
14:06passes last week, I think it's a 5050 time share. So, if they get in the end zone, Gordon would have that shot. But
14:12that's the problem with Miami. They've got to get down that far. But like you said, in this specific scenario, it's probably Gordon.
14:19>> Here's a question, a good one in the chat. Uh, this is from Knack 187. Nico Collins or Matthew Golden this week in
14:27PPR scoring. I I really want to say Golden, but I've got to go Nico Collins.
14:33I'm ranking him a little bit higher.
14:35I've got Golden inside of like the top 18, 19, 20 wide receivers. Nico probably a borderline top 10 wide receiver. I
14:42think the the lack of production with from anyone besides Daltton Schultz without Nico there sort of speaks volumes to how big his role will be
14:51right from the jump. And we love the matchup this week against Dallas.
14:55>> Yeah, and that's exactly correct. Dallas traded today for Joey Porter. Porter won't be playing this week. It looks like I I don't I don't think there's any
15:02world he plays this week and that's a big deal. Nico Collins should go off here. They they have to open up the
15:08passing game. Like you said, no receiver on the team can get space and Collins is a game breaker. They have to get their
15:14offense. They have to set up their running game by throwing downfield him.
15:17Dallas doesn't have any answers. Dallas is all beat up at safety and that's the person that comes in for the double on
15:23the downfield routes and that's Nico is going to crush that.
15:26>> Yeah, I like CJ Strad this week. We always try to throw out like an emergency quarterback that you can start
15:32if you're in a complete jam this week. I mean, last week was like people really really scrambling. I think most people
15:37have picked up their quarterback, but you now you've got some Baker Mayfield teams out there. You It's still choppy.
15:43Um, I I like CJ Stout against Dallas and I also like Marcus Mariota against Indianapolis. I think if I'm in a bind,
15:51both of those guys can get me through.
15:54Stout has had actually a very positive season in terms of pass volume, um, in terms of passing yards. Been tight with
16:00the football. We haven't seen the interceptions and like you said, it's a very advantageous matchup in a game that we think could fly over. Mariota 9:30
16:08a.m. on the East Coast game. We love the Europe games against Indianapolis. Feels like another game, especially with Washington coming off that big win
16:15against Seattle, that maybe they can get it going again. So, those would be sort of two my guys. Who would be your
16:21quarterback streamer if you're down really bad this week? You need to find one bottom of the barrel. You know, Jacobe Brassette, he still is unstered
16:28in a lot of leagues, but they're playing the Giants. And the Giants quarterbacks are all kinds of beat up. Brian Burns
16:33tore an ACL. That's part of their pass rush. You know, they have multiple rushers, but that's one of them out. I
16:39do think Arizona will be able to put up points here and I think the run isn't going to be so necessarily easy. The
16:46Giants are pretty good against the run in this scenario in this matchup. So yeah, I think Jacobe Brassette is a really good streamer for you in this
16:51oper in this situation. But you love Mariota and Mariota, remember last year against Denver, he got it done. This year against Seattle, he got it done. He
16:59just finds a way to get it done and it's pretty crazy. But that's a great streamer as well.
17:04>> Here was a fun flex question um in the chat. Uh, Devon Vele or Redhot Khalif Raymond of the Chicago Bears. I'm going
17:14Devon Vele in this one. Um, I've liked the way he's looked all year. I realize that Raymond's just like running about
17:20as pure as you can get for a 32-year-old wide receiver who's never done this in his throughout his career, but I'm going
17:26Devon Veil actually pretty comfortably here. Which way are you going with this question, Jim?
17:31>> Yeah, like you said, it's really difficult to look away from what Raymond's done. 84, 40, and 90 yards in three games. But like I said earlier, I
17:38think against the Jets, I think the game plan is run, run, run. I don't think they want their backup quarterbacks throwing a ton. I don't think they'll
17:46have to have that happen here. I think against Philly, they thought they would need to keep up on the scoreboard. So, I
17:51think that we're going veil as well because again, I expect this a runheavy approach by Chicago.
17:57>> Couple of questions in the chat about the Carolina Panthers and not necessarily the car Carolina Panthers that you'd think we get questions about.
18:05Um, actually this is probably a pretty normal one. Jaylen Coker here. Jaylen Coker if he plays or Jaylen Wadd this week. And Waddle we talked about a
18:14little bit in the pre-show Jim where he's had this one really big week in week two bracketed by two clunkers. Week
18:22one was a disaster and then last week basically a disaster fewer than seven PPR points. Jaylen Coker on the other hand had the wide receiver one overall
18:32week in week one. Bryce Young still leads the NFL in passing yards. This feels like a high-scoring environment.
18:39Are you on Wadd or Coker this week provided that Coker plays? Yeah, Wadd I told you last week, you know, I love
18:45Wadd going in the air. I said this was last week was not a great matchup. He'd see a lot of Trent McDuffy and with the
18:51in the lack of creativity by by um Davis Webb calling plays. I thought it would be a little struggle for Wadd. This week
18:57they're playing San Francisco. And again, Shawn Peyton is going to be in Whit Davis Webb's ear like he was after week one when I said Waddle would go off
19:03in week two. It's going to be more of the same here. 49ers are good at corner, but they're not Jaylen Wadd good at
19:08corner and they're going to get him back in a high-scoring shootout. I trust Coker. I mean, I'm sorry, Wadd probably gets 10 targets here. And I love Coker,
19:16but I don't think that level of volume is coming his way. And Wadd with the big play ability gets the edge here. Coker
19:22is always a good play, but I have Wadd as a borderline elite player. I downgrade him last week though.
19:27>> Yeah, I'm waddle over Coker this week pretty comfortably. Uh really excited about that Carolina Detroit game. I feel like we could get a lot of points in
19:35that one.
19:36>> Here's a question in the chat. Um Tyler Shuck versus Trevor Lawrence and it's a fivepoint passing touchdown league. Um I'm going Trevor Lawrence, but it's
19:46close. Tyler Shuck each and every week putting up the numbers, but it's Trevor Lawrence. I think this offense is a machine and that's a game where it feels
19:55awesome for fantasy. A Jacksonville Cincinnati game. Jacksonville coming off of this just beatd down of New England.
20:02Cincinnati coming off of a loss. The games in Cincinnati. I mean, we've got to get an over environment in that one.
20:09I'm I'm going Trevor Lawrence by a hair over Tyler Shuck.
20:14>> And it is a hair because I have them very close. They're both strong starting options this week. I think the
20:20environment for this shootout between Jacksonville and Cincinnati is very large. And if it's a shootout, then Trevor Lawrence is certainly going to be
20:27in a big situation. Remember, Cincinnati may have got gashed by Jaylen Warren last week, but I told you that would happen because he gets to the outside.
20:34Even though Basil Tutin's fast, they're trying to run him more inside and that's where Cincinnati's strong. So that means Trevor Lawrence has to get it done
20:41through the air. And remember, the linebackers are horrific. And you and with the way they run that off, get everybody over the middle. They're gonna
20:49identify those weak links and Trevor Lawrence is gonna bang that time after time. Tyler Shuck's a great play as well, but Lawrence gets the edge.
20:58>> Aaron Jones, last week we finally saw the rece the reception total uh trend up, which was a really positive. We had
21:04that sort of weird week two where he had a million touches, but he didn't uh get any receptions. We're not used to that
21:11like imbalance for Aaron Jones and it's also probably not the best game plan to just run him into the ground, but had
21:17five catches last week and over the last two weeks he has 45 touches. How strong a start is he this week? What's your
21:25confidence level on Aaron Jones?
21:27>> Man, they're playing Miami and at this point they're probably not going to be throwing the ball a lot. They're going
21:33to play with like that defense is insane and so Miami is probably not putting a lot up here. So yeah, Aaron Jones gets
21:40volume here. He may not be needed a lot in the third quarter, fourth quarter, but he should get enough done early and
21:44he still can create big plays. Love Aaron Jones this week. He is a solid running back too.
21:49>> Yeah, high-end running back too for me.
21:51I think somewhere like right in that running back uh 13 through 18 range when I'm when it's all settled out. Uh he
21:57should be in a really good spot. And Minnesota should be in a good spot. It feels like a Kyler Murray game. It feels
22:02like it's another Jordan Addison game.
22:04And really the start of the week, Minnesota defense. Minnesota defense. Um on my defense show like three weeks ago, I was like, "Stash Minnesota, even if
22:12you don't want to use them, now they're like a weekly starting defense, and you get the benefit that they might put up
22:1715 this week against this Miami Dolphins team that's really, really struggling.
22:22Kyle Pittz or Pat Frith? We try not to take a million Thursday questions. If you're listening on this on a Friday,
22:28apologies. We'll take one more of these." I'm going Pitts on a prayer here. I know last week we we didn't see
22:34the production bump, but I think the overall offense, you feel so much more optimistic about things with Michael Penn behind center. I'm going to go Kyle
22:43Pittz in this one.
22:44>> You know what? Go to the waiverwire and pick up Tyler Higgby because it looks like Parkinson's hurt. Terrence Ferguson's probably not playing. They're
22:52using the tight ends. Higgby is a very, very effective as a receiver. Frier Muth, here's the problem. We loved him last week. They're they're putting
23:00Darnell Washington back in again. last two weeks he has cut into the tight end work. So that's a problem. It's a huge
23:05problem. And Pitts, look, I told you going into the year that offense is about Drake London and it's about Desawn Robinson and it's about nobody else.
23:14Pitts was only one point above his career baseline before Drake London got hurt and London played hurt late last year and he wasn't right. They're not
23:22using Pitts. He's not part of the offense. So go to your waiverwire, pick up Tyler Higgby and call it a day.
23:29I picked up Tyler Higgby on so many NFC or FFPC teams last night. Um, and I was actually surprised that there wasn't a
23:36bigger market. There was a lot of times where I was and I didn't bid a lot, but I was bidding against myself. Um,
23:42Higgby, it's like a oneweek spot start that's setting up so well for him this week. So, it could be two weeks as well.
23:49You could get two more weeks of Tyler Higgby and we saw how good he was. I was a little bit surprised that there wasn't
23:53more of a market for Canada Mumfield with he basically is like a high-end handcuff right now. But Higgby, I really like that call out, but go for it.
24:02>> Let let me mention about Mumfield. What you need to know, the reason Mumfield got those heavily involved targets in the big one is because not only was Nua
24:09out, but they were down two tight ends.
24:11But the if the out in the future and their tight ends are healthy, they're putting three tight ends and one receiver on the field and that's most of
24:18them. It's Devonte Adams. But because they had the double hit of tight end injuries plural and um Puka, then the other receivers became a factor. So you
24:28need two things to hit for a player like Mumfield to be relevant.
24:31>> Yeah, I get it. And I think Terrence Ferguson um really was the one that sort of opened things up for Mumfield. But I
24:36I do think that it's a great coaching staff and if there's any sort of a setback with Nua, Mumfield's 23 years
24:43old. He's got some juice and it's sort of like a ball don't lie argument. look what he was able to do with those
24:49targets in a in a big spot for them too.
24:52They were going against up against Denver last week. So, I'm I'm sort of like looking at Mfield as the way we
24:58were treating Ryan Florenoi in the preseason where you're getting that sort of upside. It's it's an offense that we trust and the injury bug is already open
25:05for Puka and Dvonte Adams. We saw him break down last year. So, two years in a row fashion two years in a row. Two
25:11years in a row.
25:11>> Oh, man. And he's old.
25:12>> He's old. We're >> And that's coming from an old guy.
25:15>> Yeah. Not that old. Not that old, Jim.
25:17Somebody was asking in the chat, "What are those championship belts over Jim Coventry's head?" I will say those are Kings Classic trophies from Canton. Jim
25:25took down two big leagues there. I have a Kings Classic belt. Maybe I need to break it out next show just to balance
25:31the fourth year.
25:32>> These are both triple crowns, man. It was most points by 150 over the field and then the regular season and the
25:38championship. Last year 13-1 beat the field by 200 points. Those are not. So for me it's yeah they're cool but man it
25:44was triple crowns against that field that makes me happy.
25:48>> Running pure Jim Coventry I won mine on an auction league Jim I have an auction league one so that was pretty
25:54>> I don't play a whole lot of auctions. I get a lot of trash from the auction community is always like why don't you
25:59hop in our auctions? I'm a I'm a I'm a regular snake draft guy especially when I'm out in Vegas and New York and stuff
26:04but a lot of respect to the auction community. Shout out to my guy Dan Williamson if you're listening. Um, benching David Montgomery for Brilin
26:12Allen this week. I'm going Brilan Allen.
26:14I'm going Brillin Allen. David Montgomery. They tried to get him going last week and he doesn't look good. He has week one. The best thing about David
26:21Montgomery and I said this on the trade show. You had week one as the window of opportunity to sell. Now you have teams
26:28scrambling at the running back position.
26:29And I still look at the overall counting stats and I say look what he did in week one. Two weeks without Nico Collins.
26:35really disappointing stuff and you've got the threat of Woody Marks whereas Brilen Allen I think he's gonna get a full workload this week. Also Adam I
26:41Mitchell still banged up. I think the touches are going to be consolidated in New York. Garrett Wilson tons of of opportunities. A lot of sick Kenyon Sadi
26:49mixed in and then I think a lot of Brillan Allen.
26:52>> Theo there's one thing I want to point out that I think fantasy managers want to consider.
26:57We know Brie Hall's a superstar, but when Aaron Glenn walked in that door, he goes, "This is a committee." And Brillin
27:03Allen was getting way even it was some work, it was way too much. Isaiah Davis is getting work here because he was
27:08talking Isaiah Davis last year. So Brillin Allen, I agree with you. He gets volume and you start him in this one for
27:14volume, but he's not getting all the work. I I can almost guarantee you Isaiah Davis getting 30% of the work in
27:20this one because that's what he did to Braille Allen compared to Bree Hall. Now David Montgomery, be careful here. Yes, he's been terrible two games, but
27:28defense is with no Nico Collins on the field. Again, they have no downfield threat. So, defenses could just pile it in and say, "You can't win." When Nico's
27:38on the field, and Dallas is not a good team against the run. They don't tackle well. They're not fast. And this is a
27:44game where given the carries, Monty has real upside. But like you're saying, Brilen Allen is safer. the volume's a little more dedicated, the offense a
27:54little more diverse, and he should have a higher floor, but don't be surprised if Monty scores two touchdowns this week against that Dallas defense.
28:02>> We will see. We will see. I'm I'm not If I tell you what, if if David Montgomery gets two touchdowns against Dallas,
28:08absolutely try to sell him and reddraft.
28:09It's your big window of opportunity. Um here we go. Question in the chat. Flex Luther Burden, David Montgomery, or Jameson Williams. I'm going Luther
28:19Burden here fairly easily. Where are you at on this one?
28:23>> Everybody knows I'm week to week with JMO. I'll tell you when he'll stink and I'll tell you when he'll go off. Well,
28:28guess what? Carolina lost both of their cornerbacks last week. JC Horn's out.
28:33Mike Jackson's out. Guess what J Mo is going to do this week? He's going off because it's a shootout. Because guess
28:39what? Detroit plays a shootout every week and the offensive line is healthy now. And guess who doesn't have much of a pass rush? It's Carolina. So this week
28:46they could actually develop a downfield play. Last week I told you there would be no downfield plays. It wasn't going to happen the week before. This week you
28:54play J. If you drafted J Mo, this is the game you drafted him for. You play him this week.
28:59>> I mean pretty much J Mo rest away I think start. Um and I know that there's weeks you want to bench him, but the
29:06like the backto-back four target weeks that can't that can't be be sort of the plan for JO. There was too much from
29:12this coaching staff. We saw it last year. That being said, we did have a ton of positivity with Luther Burton last
29:18week, even with the matchup, like advantageous matchup with Carolina. I'm still rolling Luther. I think this was the breakout game for Luther Burton. How
29:26close is it for you in your ranks between Burton and JO? Is this like a five per player gap or is this like very
29:33close?
29:34>> So, it's Burton has a safer floor. He's getting targets. Even though he may not have gone off for you, he is getting
29:40targets and he right now he is the number one read in that offense. So he has a better floor than JO because you
29:45know it J Mo could could bounce out any week and that could happen. So Burden safer. So they're very close is really
29:51what your flavor is. I I I think again this specific week and I want to point out Theo you you're right about like
29:57talking about the targets of JO it. I said this going in the season. Leaport is their number two and that has that
30:02has not changed. He was there last year.
30:05He's this year. He's the number two. J Mo's the number three. But JO's like a situational type. Um, so again, if you
30:11want that upside, I really dig you with JO. But if you want to say floor, like you said, Burton's your floor guy.
30:17>> Speaking of floors, what is the floor for a Mecha Ibuka with Jaylen Daniels?
30:22Jaylen Daniels starting this week for Tampa Bay >> has some mobility, but we're downgrading this offense significantly this week.
30:30>> Uh, you've also got Chris. Well, you and you. So, I'll say for Ibuka, just like a like a pro IBuka argument is sometimes
30:38we get like the tunnel vision from these rookie signal callers. Maybe we see that, especially with Chris Godwin banged up, but I'm I'm trying to paint a
30:46picture where I'm making an argument for Ibuka over DJ Moore. I can't do it this week. It's DJ Moore. DJ Moore pretty
30:51easily for me in this one because of the quarterback downgrade and because I think DJ Moore is is due for a pretty
30:57solid week. Your thoughts here?
30:59>> DJ Moore is a target dog. Now, I full disclosure before he got hurt in week two, he wasn't playing every snap. It
31:04was very weird. But week one and week three, his usage was through the charts.
31:0810 targets. Nobody else had more than four, I believe, for Buffalo last week.
31:11DJ Moore is their alpha receiver. He's playing with a legendary quarterback.
31:15And if you've you're watching the games, DJ Moore is playing at the elite level I told you he would play at before the
31:21season started. DJ Moore is a locked and loaded borderline wide receiver one because he's playing with Josh Allen.
31:28Finally, a quarterback that can utilize him.
31:31Good. The chat is uh chat is very lit right now. I'm trying to pick out some uh some questions without laughing. You
31:35guys are keeping it loose, too. Make sure you hit that subscribe button if you're enjoying the show. Hit that like button. And if you want more Jim
31:41Coventry start sit decisions. Tune in to Rotoire Live every single Sunday. You can also get access to Jim over on uh
31:50satellite radio over on Sirius. Let everybody know sort of where you're at there, Jim, where they can get access to you. Yeah, every Friday and Saturday on
31:57SiriusXM fantasy sports radio channel 87 1 to3 on my exit Jim Coventry NFL.
32:03Everything's kind of get gets posted there where I'm at when appearances are.
32:07That starts sit show on Sunday on Rotowwire Live 11 a.m. Eastern. That's already pinned to my profile. So, you can just, you know, plan the calendar
32:14for that one. We'll go an hour and a half. It'll be during an international game. So, that those are always fun
32:18because the audience, you know, doesn't wants to watch an NFL game. I hate to compete with the NFL, but got to get
32:23those start questions answered. But yeah, the X is kind of the hub to find out where everything's at.
32:27>> Yeah, make sure you go check out Jim over on X. Definitely definitely a balln knower and Sunday morning takes those
32:33times for your start decisions. You know what I've got this uh this Sunday morning at 9:00 a.m. Jim?
32:39>> Uhoh.
32:39>> Flag flag football game where I'm a I'm one of the coaches and and we have the best second grade team in our county and
32:47we're going up against one of the best third grade teams in our county. We're from the same town. It's going to get
32:51heated. And it's also the game is like right down the street. So, we don't have We usually get sent maybe 15 minutes
32:57away. We're playing at the local high school at 9:00 in the morning. It's going to get chippy. Second and third graders going to get very very chippy.
33:03There we go. No mercy in the chat. Um we'll we'll keep this going. We'll take a couple more of your questions and
33:08we're going to talk about a couple of players that Jim has circled on the show sheet. Bashel Tutin or Brilen Allen as
33:14flex. Bashel Tutin. We're going Bashel Tootin here easily. Yeah, right now Bash Tutin's playing well. I This is a player I had to change my view on. He's getting
33:2315 carries a week. And like I said, Isaiah Davis is going to be a thing. So Tuton probably has at least as much
33:30volume as Brillin Allen. And right now Toutton's playing at a pretty high level. And they're playing Cincinnati.
33:35And I know their interior run defense has been good, but there's a decent ch there's a better chance to find the end
33:41zone. So I go with him.
33:43>> Okay. Here's a what we call a champagne problem. Usually you don't get this many flex options from a manager. Okay, so
33:50full point PPR and they need a flex.
33:53Bashel Tutin, Michael Wilson, Lad Maki, Malik Neighbors, or Ibuka. Michael Wilson had 17 targets last week, Jim.
34:01>> Michael Wilson had 17 targets. I want to ride the heater here and go Wilson potentially. Am I wrong to to lean into
34:09Michael Wilson for a second consecutive week against this new New New York Giants team? This is a really really tilting game for real life NFL and for
34:19fantasy where you've got the Giants at two and one. They feel like they have like such a glimmer of hope if they can
34:24just get this win over Arizona at home.
34:27Then you've got the Jacobe Brassette uh people out there like like myself with Trey McBride and Michael Wilson bags and we're like, "Okay, Brassette, just get
34:34this win. That gets you your second win of the year. Now we're rolling. It's going to be hard to bench you. I want to
34:39go Michael Wilson here and ride the heater." Am I wrong to be too optimistic about a second consecutive really strong week from Wilson?
34:46>> I mean, they're playing the Giants. I mean, the corners are Deontay Banks.
34:50Greg Newsome actually, although he's not great, he does match up well with Wilson because he's a big physical guy and that
34:55would be one that would give him a little trouble. But look, they're throwing him the ball. Brassett's done well with him. Harrison's not involved
35:02in the offense. It could be a Trey McBridewick. Be careful with that.
35:05McBride could see 15 targets here and that could be over. So, you got to be careful. But I think at the end of the
35:10day, the statistical probability goes with Michael Wilson being your best bet.
35:15>> Are things setting up well for a second consecutive big Tyler Warren week? Last year we sort of like what we were
35:22drafting him as in in the preseason for Warren was sort of exactly what we got last week where we had 10 targets, we
35:31had nine catches. It was only 55 yards, but 10 targets and they gave him a rushing attempt. Really strong stuff last week from Warren. This week goes
35:41off against the Washington Commanders who were just pretty generous to AJ Barner. Are things setting up for a strong week for Tyler Warren? Are we now
35:50on to like this Tyler Warren track where we're going to start seeing him ranked as like a top five tight end maybe rest
35:56of season with some top three weeks?
35:58>> Playing Washington is a spot you do not want to miss out for Tyler Warren.
36:02Sometimes they'll line him up on the perimeter as a exceiver. Well, Fabian Maro and Russell Douglas are corners.
36:08He's going to win those inside. One of the safeties is out. Also, linebacker Frankie Louvu is dealing with a groin.
36:14He missed last week. So, the interior guys that would defend Warren when he's in the in line. They're not healthy. So,
36:21yeah, this is a week where Warren should do exceedingly well. And again, this game has sneaky shootout potential.
36:27>> I'm going to scroll back up. I'm going to try to get a bunch of your questions answered. I really appreciate all the
36:31support for this show. It's been really fun, but we try to get as many questions answered as possible. So, we're going to
36:36go rapid fire on a couple of these, Jim, and try to catch up. Josh DS, Carnell Tate, or Jordan Addison this week.
36:42>> Jordan Josh DS, he's going off. He's great.
36:46>> Josh DS for me as well. Josh Downs against Washington. Jordan though, I do think is a is a fun one. Um, if if
36:52Justin Jefferson doesn't go, this is a Jordan Madison week, but it's Josh Downs. Josh DS against Washington. Jim's been talking it up. We want to go Josh
36:58DS. This could be like the when we were talking about all that great usage upcoming for downs. It's going to be
37:03like, okay, we finally saw it in week four with a smash week against Washington. Oh my gosh, here we go. Fun
37:09one shootout. Trevor Lawrence or Bryce Downs? We're going Trevor Lawrence in this one >> for the floor for And look, I get it.
37:16Bryce Young threw what, 48 passes last week, but it still was one touchdown.
37:20Trevor Lawrence is just safer. Bryce Young is is doing fantas I'll shut up.
37:25Is fast answers.
37:26>> No, no, we can go we can go with that one. I think it's a it's a really good one, but the game could tilt over. Um,
37:31we've been high on Bryce Young like kind of collectively, the two of us since the since week one, and you know, I've
37:35talked about him on the Sleeper show. I had him as my number one waiverwire quarterback after week one. Like, a lot
37:40of Roto Wire listeners and viewers have their Bryce Young bags packed. It's just really hard for me to bench Trevor Lawrence any week. Here's a fun one.
37:48Start Darren Waller. The Lions are 32nd against tight ends, or Joan Johnson, who's been fantastic this year.
37:55back-to-back years with red-hot starts from Jawan Johnson. It's It's like 2025 all over again. Jawan Johnson is like towards the top of tight end scoring.
38:04Darren Waller though, we it's been a slow drip here, Jim. Lots of touchdowns and he had that one touchdown called back and then last week we saw the pass
38:12volume pick up with no Coker. Your thoughts here?
38:15>> If Coker is out, I would start Waller because they're going to need him more.
38:19If Coker plays, I would flip the other direction with Jawan Johnson. You're going to have to tune in and check out
38:24Jim on Sunday morning. He'll update you on all of these injuries. And make sure you're checking out Rotoire NFL over on
38:31X. We we've had like a couple of the big sites that were that were like kind of known for this trying to call us out
38:38over the last last week or so um and try to try try to talk trash because we are up to like nearly 150,000 followers. It

39:03good good people, too. But, um, it's amazing. They do such a good job. Um, and it was a lot of fun seeing these
39:10people try to talk trash to us, Jim.
39:11>> Woo. You know, the Roto Wire team, it's like a number of full-time employees have been doing this for a long, long
39:18time, and they're so good at it. the attention to detail. They will never give you wrong information unless the source is wrong, which is we usually get
39:28it from the top sources only. So, we get it fast and we get it right and we give you the fantasy angle. That wins you
39:34your leagues.
39:35>> Another question from Nikki Banks in the chat. Nikki's a ball knower. Keenan Allen or Darren Waller PR? Which way you
39:42going? Keenan had a really nice week last week, too. It's the old guys. This is like the old head conversation. A lot
39:47of old guys smiling right now with our Keenan Allen versus Darren Waller argument. This is not 2019. We're talking 2026. Keenan Allen, Darren
39:54Waller. Where we at?
39:55>> I don't know how much they need Keenan Allen in this game. Last week they needed him against Houston in the middle
40:01of the field. A lot opened up, but I'm going to say it again. I know Carolina plays a Thursday night game, but if
40:06Coker is trending out, then play Waller.
40:09If >> Sunday, Sunday night, Sunday night, >> Sunday night, Sunday night. Did I say Monday night?
40:13>> You said Thursday night. We are It is Thursday today, Jim. Oh my gosh. Wow.
40:17Don't get old. That I can't really help that. But that's kind of the story today. But yeah, Sunday night, if Coker's trending out, then play Waller,
40:24but if Coker looks like he's gonna go, then you go the other way.
40:28>> Okay, I think this is a trade question.
40:30Or maybe it's two separate start sick questions. Um, okay. This is two separate start sick questions. Okay.
40:35Rashi Rice or Mike Evans?
40:40>> Oh, okay. It's two separate questions.
40:41Okay. Um, Mike Evans is hurt. I have no idea. And every week he's hurt. Now, >> let's say Mike Let's say Mike Evans
40:48plays this week. Mike Evans or Rashi Rice.
40:51>> But I'm saying when he plays, I don't know if he's coming off the field. Yeah.
40:53So, it's just like Rashi Rice. I'm telling you, it's been four injuries since August for Mike Evans. He's old.
40:59>> Okay. And then Luther Burton versus Jawan Johnson in PPR, not tight end premium. Luther Burden.
41:05>> Yeah. Luther Burden for the floor. Jawan Johnson got the touchdowns last week.
41:08You know, the tight ends aren't scoring four touchdowns a week because that's what they had. Two, what they had two, you know, two for Fant, wasn't it? And
41:13two for Jawan. Um, that's not happening every week. The receivers usually score those.
41:18>> Here's a question. How long can you hold on KC Conpsion? I'm holding KC as long as possible. Um, the usage is strong and
41:25I think the manufactured looks and all that kind of stuff. He's an electric talent. You have to be patient here. I
41:30think he could be a second half of the year hammer. Where you at on KC right now?
41:34>> He will be a floor play all year, which is fine. Floor is fine because that offense is never going to light the
41:40scoreboard up. Deshun Watson's just throwing dink and dunk. So, but for floor concepts will get you what? 8 to 10 PPR points most weeks. If you need
41:50more than that, he's not going to help you, but he will give you flex production most weeks.
41:55>> I'm a little higher than Jim on KC rest a season, but I agree with you that the floor is solid and they're trying to get
42:01him involved on a weekly basis.
42:03>> They are.
42:03>> It's a talent bet for me. Here's one here. DeAndre Swift, Brilen Allen, Omaran Hampton, and Jordan Addison. He needs one running back. We have to pick
42:12one of the three running backs and then we have to pick one of the uh one of the one of the two leftover running backs
42:18and Addison in the flex here. So for me it's DeAndre Swift would be my preferred running back here. My highest ranked
42:24one. Are you also on Swift here?
42:26>> 100%. The Bears are going to run heavy this week and it's going to work really well.
42:30>> Now Omarian Hampton who fewer than 45% of the snaps last week for LA or Brilan Allen or Jordan Addison in the flex this
42:39week. You know, I love Hampton. He had 15 carries this week. He got screwed out of a touchdown because the referees
42:44threw their flag and he would have been in the end zone. He would have had double digits again. Brillin Allen's going to get bankable volume. The Bears
42:50played great on money. They're they're not a good defense. They played over their heads. Um Allen safer. Hampton's your boom bust guy.
42:58>> Okay, here's one. This is this is a tricky one because Brock Pie's basically been the most impressive quarterback outside of Josh Allen all season long.
43:06Yep.
43:06>> Brock I mean incredible this week.
43:09sneaky matchup against Denver and then you've got uh Trevor Lawrence against the Cincinnati Bengals. I talked about that to go over. I mean, you're doing
43:18great if this is your start sit here, but Trevor Lawrence, Brock Purie, you drafted both of them. Uh which way you
43:24going this week, Jim?
43:26>> Pertie is my QB, too. I don't care about Denver. Do not care. Kyle Shanahan schemes people open on every play.
43:32Patrick Stan is one dude. He can't cover four dudes. I don't care who the dudes are. They're open. Whether it's McCaffrey, KD, any of the receivers, I'm
43:39going with Pertie and Pertie runs, too.
43:41>> That was one for me where I'm doing my rest of the season rankings and it's Lamar Jackson, Brock Pery for me, QB2,
43:48QB3. I think it's Perty, though. I think it's Pertie. He looks unbelievable right now. Completely locked in. The game is coming so easy to him.
43:56>> And how dare they? How dare they? Those cowards last week throwing that flag when Brock Party cooked on like what
44:02would have been the nastiest touchdown run of his entire career. And then he throws a touchdown the next play, Jim.
44:07>> Of course he does. Yeah. And and you know what? Credit to Pertie, but Shanahan is the best offensive play caller in the league.
44:17>> Okay, here's one. Um, is Woody Marks on the rise right now? You're calling out a David Montgomery week this week against
44:24Dallas, but what what does this backfield look like when we get to mid-season? Is it more and more of a split with more and more Woody Marks? Or
44:32is it David Montgomery sort of solidifying himself as a hey, he falls in the end zone sometime guy?
44:37>> I'm telling you, Nico Collins on the field means everything. Once he's on the field, defenses have to play them different. They brought in Montgomery.
44:46He is going to be decent. Marks is the same guy he was last year. He can't break tackles. He doesn't get yards
44:52after contact. He is terrible.
44:54Montgomery is going to have more space.
44:56Montgomery is going to be okay. He's not going to be great, but he's going to be okay the rest of the way.
45:01>> Here's one for you. Uh Kansas City Chiefs defense, and I do a defense show, and I know Jim, you cover a lot of
45:07defensive content. Kansas City Chiefs defense uh against the Raiders. How confident? I'd say they're a defense one this week. They're a top 12 play at
45:15defense. There's a couple of other streamers that I I would prefer. I think Green Bay against Jaylen Daniels. I'd sort of take my chances on that defense
45:24turning over a rookie. I think you could throw a dart at Cleveland or Pit. I mean, Pittsburgh's rostered, but you could throw a dart at Cleveland. I think
45:31that game is going to be choppy tonight.
45:33Um, but Kansas City, I think they're a defense one this week against Cousins.
45:37Cousins has what is it? Three interceptions on the year. This could be a a two interception game and I think they're going to be able to get to him.
45:45Man, that environment is going to be insane though in Vegas. I would of of all the games this week, I would love to
45:50be in Las Vegas. I'd like to be in Las Vegas any week, but Las Vegas for the Raiders, the 3 and 0 Raiders against the
45:56Chiefs. And you know, Chiefs fans will travel, too. People love taking that trip to Vegas. Um, but I like that Chiefs team, that defense this week.
46:03Where you at, Jim?
46:04>> These teams hate each other. Anything can happen in those type of environments, but like you said, Theo Kirk Cousins, he's got numbers for
46:11fantasy, but Spagnolo, if he does his usual job, he's going to send some corner blitzes and it's going to make Cousins miserable. I think that the
46:19Chiefs defense could come up big, but again, when you play a defense, good luck.
46:24>> Kenneth Gainwell has been a disappointment this year. Marshon Lloyd's been a bigger disappointment.
46:29Two kind of busts in Reed raft. Uh we talked about all the limitations of Green Bay. Kenneth Gainwell potentially has a window open because Bucky Irving's
46:36a little banged up this week. Gainwell or Marshon Lloyd? I'm going Gainwell because I want to stay away from this Green Bay running back room no matter
46:44what this week. Um, even in a positive matchup, I I think I I want to roll with uh Kenneth G Kenneth Gainwell over
46:51Lloyd. Where you at on this one?
46:52>> Look, even if Gainwell gets a zero, he's the play because Lloyd, what's his best case scenario? Three. And that line is
47:00horrible and it's a backfield rotation.
47:03So, they can't run the ball at all. At least Gainwell, like you said, if Irving's nicked up, he gets a little
47:08more work. You just it it's not worth having Marshall and Lloyd on a roster to be honest with you. There is no upside.
47:15There will be no upside.
47:17>> You've got a question in the chat.
47:19Jordan Love or Bryce Young? I'm going Bryce Young this week over Jordan Love.
47:23But I really I really like Jordan Love, but I think Bryce Young for all the reasons you talked about with Detroit.
47:28Uh he should be ranked a little bit higher. I think it's more of an upside bet. Love is going to get a ton of pass
47:33volume. You got the two star wide receivers out there. But give me Bryce Young at home against that Lions defense. Young is safer this week, but
47:42if you want to shoot for a crazy upside shot, Tampa Bay blitzes a lot and it's not a great blitz. And if you're going
47:49to blitz, Jordan Love has Watson and he has Golden against two corners that are not so great against those receivers.
47:55So, it's like the Minnesota game, you could see some really big plays. But yeah, Love is more variance. So, if it's
48:01only if you're shooting for pure upside, but like you said, Theo, you want the safer play, it's Bryce Young. For me,
48:07it's also a Tedro McMillan bounceback week, Jim. Last week, such a disappointment. This is sort of like the national televised game where I think
48:15McMillan puts up a big number. So, I'm into it. I am going to have some DFS lineups with Jordan Love and Matthew
48:21Golden. They just can't get Matthew Golden priced right for what he's getting. And then Jordan Love, I think, is a great way to do it. But, I'm still
48:27going to go slight lean to Bryce Young, but they're both top 14 plays the quarterback position this week.
48:33>> Um, we'll keep this going. Let me get a couple more questions in. Appreciate all the questions here. Halfpoint PPR. Uh
48:41Kendrey Miller, Marshon Lloyd, Jaylen Wright, or Katon Mitchell? I'm going Kendre. I'm going Kendre in this one.
48:47That's my pick. I added a bunch of Kendra on the waiverwire. The window is open for Kendre Miller. I know he's been
48:53a disappointment as a pro, but scored a touchdown in week one. Now you've got Travis CTN out. You've got an older
49:00Alvin Kamara who just >> is limited. You know, even if they give him a bunch of touches, Kendrey might have the juice here. I like Kendry
49:07Miller in this one. And it's going to be a close game. Atlanta New Orleans, uh, I'm into this one. Kendry Miller.
49:13>> Mitchell was in a boot yesterday. For whatever that's worth, he and if Mitchell's not 100%. Good luck with that. So, yeah, Kendrey Miller is your
49:20player. Like I said, I said, you can't trust Lloyd. Wright's banged up till he gets a game on the field. Can't trust
49:26him. It's Miller.
49:27>> Yeah. And Mick Vasquez in the chat said it was right easily. Do you So, right.
49:32you want to see him get ramped up.
49:33That's that's sort of your only hold up.
49:35>> He had two injuries. He had he had a stinger and a foot. And so right now, I mean, he's maybe next week, but right
49:41now until he's completely medically clear and healthy, Jaylen, right, at le >> Jim, you got a t-shirt on. You're like a
49:52Chicago guy. Like you got a you're you're all Chicago here. You got a shirt on saying Scott Fishbowl 13 and you got
49:58the Chicago live draft one there. slice of pizza in the middle. Chicago style of pizza. Are you like a tavern pie guy or
50:05are you a are you a uh or deep dish guy or are you a traditional New York slice?
50:10>> Man, I got caught up on one pizzeria in Chicago when I was young. It was called Lumal Nadis Gourmet Pizza in the pan.
50:15>> That I've been I've been to Lumal Nadis.
50:17That's my >> goto. It's the spot. That's the spot.
50:20>> That's my I love them. So I eat it regularly. So yeah, I just got I'm like a one pizza guy. I don't cheat.
50:25>> There we go. Deep dish for deep dish for Jim all the way. That's a That's a healthy meal right there. That's like a
50:30That's like a cowzone and a slice at Lou Maladis. Christian Watson or Michael Wilson PPR. We talked about Michael Wilson before, 17 targets, but it's it's
50:40Christian Watson. Christian Watson, you got to start him each and every week.
50:43Christian Watson understand what you have. And I think questions like this and and and again our are our our the people in our chat are super
50:50knowledgeable. But I think if you're asking Christian Watson questions here, like that's a signal go trade for some Christian Watson because the market
50:58hasn't fully moved to what this role is.
51:00Uh your thoughts on Watson? Yeah, I mean they have no choice to pass every week and Christian Watson again Tampa Bay
51:06doesn't have the corners that deal with him. They're going to blitz, which means going to be a lot of one-on-one looks
51:11and Love is definitely willing to pull the trigger on those throws. So yeah, it's Christian Watson. Love Michael Wilson, but man, Christian Watson like
51:18over on my whole board. He's number 26.
51:20That's like a second round pick.
51:23>> Another champagne problem here in the chat. We'll take one more Thursday qu.
51:26Is this Tyler Warren or is this >> I don't know.
51:29>> Jaylen Warren? I We'll go both just because that's how great we are. Jaylen Warren or Matthew Golden in the flex
51:35this week. Warren was unbelievable last week, Jim. Unbelievable. Jaylen Warren game. Had a big long run called back like 80 85 yard run called back. that
51:46that stat line could have been insane.
51:48And then you've got Matthew Golden who had 100 yards. He had 12 targets again.
51:53Uh where you at on this one?
51:55>> Yeah, I told everybody start Jaylen Warren last week. I said he's going to get outside on Cincy and they're not
51:59going to have any answers and they didn't. Cleveland's a little bit of a different animal here. Warren's a floor player. He'll have a decent game. He's
52:05not going off. And remember, it's a short week. He's coming off a big workload in a short week. Matthew Golden here again, he's going to get targets
52:12because they can't run. You got to ride that train right now. the floor on Golden is really high.
52:17>> Yeah. And I'm assuming this one I I think they're both really good starts.
52:20This is a really tough one for me. And I think when it comes down to the flex rankings, I'm going to have both of them
52:24ranked very highly. So, um it's sort of the way you like to play things. Some some fantasy managers love having that
52:30potential for an early lead in Thursday night. There's nothing like being up 18 points on somebody. Um and then there's others who are like, I want to avoid the
52:40Thursday disaster. Um, it's sort of like the DFS bros out there who like the the the points remaining, the PMR guys who
52:47want to stack the later game. Um, Devon Vele or JK Dobbins. I'm assuming this is P PPR. Going Veil here.
52:55>> Yeah, if it's PPR, Dobbins is like almost a zero in the passing game. And if he doesn't get in the end zone, which
53:01he hasn't been doing, what are you getting? Six points. You can't have it.
53:04Vle is going to get three catches minimum almost every game. Vle >> Stfan Diggs, Mike Evans, or Mark Andrews in uh PPR this week.
53:14>> I like Diggs. They're playing Indianapolis. Indianapolis strengths the outside corner, but Diggs gets over the middle a lot. That's not where those
53:20corners are. That's a real attackable area of the field. And Mariota will find him.
53:25>> Yeah, I I like what I saw from Marcus Mariota and also the Mike Evans being banged up. It kind of makes this a super
53:31easy one. And I know you had this player as a player lower in your rankings um versus consensus. Tennessee, the one
53:38thing they're doing well, they've allowed fewer than 80 receiving yards to tight ends this year in three games played, Jim. Like tight ends are doing
53:45nothing. I don't know if it's a result of Is that a result of something they're doing or is that a result of um just how
53:52good they're defending the tight ends?
53:53>> It goes back to last year if I remember right. Tennessee was good against tight ends. It's a safety play. Ammani Hooker
53:59there now, but they they've got good safety play typically yearover year, no matter who's in there, they somehow get the safeties to play well, and the
54:06safeties are often lined up on the tight end, and it tends to work for them.
54:10Thoughts on Tucker Craft, the new offensive lineman of Green Bay against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers pass rush. Not for me, it's not the game that
54:18that uh that Craft breaks out because like you said, they're going to have to keep Craft in to block way more than
54:24often uh than he's used to. They're going to blitz a ton for Tampa. Um, it's Golden and and and Watson for me. Are
54:31you How enthusiastic are you about Craft this week? Tight end 15ish or a little higher?
54:38>> It's I am a little higher. I'm a borderline top 12. Here's why. So, I you already know Tampa's going to blitz a
54:44ton. But what's one way to blitz the beat the blitz? You leak your tight end and you make him a hot read. And I know
54:50he's not running like he did last year.
54:52It's clear he's not 100% from the ACL, but there's probably three catches there where he gets 15 20 yards because the
54:59blitz is coming and there's no second level help.
55:02>> Question from X from Dan. What do you guys think of Tucker Craft versus Rome Adun PPR rest of the season? This
55:09manager also has George KD. Um B, where are you at on this one? Like I just for roster construction, should he lean into
55:18the wide receiver Adun or should he just hold on to Craft, wait for some big weeks here before kind of making a move?
55:25>> Craft likely gets better as the season goes on. That's kind of the nature of this ACL recovery thing. He's not as
55:30explosive. It should come back. Romo Dunce, it's very hard to say he is an integral part of this offense. He'll get
55:38targets, but we know they're going to run. Khalif Raymond's going to get targets all year. It's the Bears offense is going to be good, but I don't think
55:45Odun is going to be the guy that goes off from it. So, I think Tucker Craft is the play.
55:50>> Here's one. Sam Darnold or Bo Knicks this week.
55:54>> Darnold was really good last week and they can't run the ball. I'm still Bo Knicks slightly ahead, but it's close.
56:01>> Bicks is playing San Francisco. San Francisco defense is playing pretty well. Knicks it. And they play zone. The 49ers play zone. And Knicks is horrific
56:10against zone. And last week it was a real weird set of circumstances where he went he got some points late but he was
56:15like 50% passing and Sam Darnold right now they're playing the Chargers. The Chargers are a mess in the secondary when they lost Jesse Mentor. All that
56:23coaching that made the players better that's gone. Those corners are not good.
56:27I'm going to go with Sam Darnold here.
56:28JSN probably goes for 160 and two touchdowns.
56:32>> Here we go. Amecha Ibuka or Khalif Raymond? I'm going Bua here. Um where you at on that one? I think Jaylen
56:41Daniels has to complete some passes and I think they're going to run a book on shorter routes so they don't stretch him
56:47out. I think that makes him a safer floor play and maybe he can create after the catch. It's just again I think the
56:52Bears run a lot this week.
56:55>> And then we've got Omari. This is people are just down bad here. Omarian Hampton or RJ Harvey in PPR. I'm still going to
57:02go with Omar and Hampton here. Despite all of the problems with this offense, I'm rolling with Omar and Hampton. Where are you going? R.J. Harvey or Hampton
57:09this week?
57:10>> Again, Hampton's getting volume. He had 15 carries last week. He got robbed out of a touchdown by a flag. He So, he
57:15would have got you double digits again.
57:17I don't trust Harvey week to week. And I think the 49ers will be good in defending a receiving running back. So,
57:22I'm going to I'm going to go to Hampton.
57:25>> Here's one. Brian Robinson Jr. who's who's really one of the better handcuffs in football and he's been sort of a
57:31handcuff plus type double-digit touches in back-to-back weeks. Um, add Brian Robinson Jr. and drop Marshawn Lloyd.
57:40Man, Green Bay's down bad at the running back position. Where you at with this one for roster construction? Robinson easily has outproduced him. So, Brian
57:49Robinson will get he nine to 11 carries a week. Now, he's not going to find the end zone. He did have a game of two
57:55catches, but he's not going to be a big receiving threat. But here's the thing.
57:58Get Lloyd off your roster because you won't be tempted to start him. I don't want you to be tempted to start Marshon
58:04Lloyd ever. And at least with Brian Robinson, you know where you stand.
58:09>> Uh, appreciate the shout out from Meatball Meatball here. Says that we're the two goats. Um, this is let me try to
58:17figure this one out. One quarterback.
58:19Okay. Jordan Love or Bo Knicks.
58:24>> Um, Jordan Love again, the Tampa Bay Blitz. He's going to have big plays. Uh, there's going to be a number of big
58:29plays this week that gives him the edge.
58:31And then we have a question to rank one through five, but we're in a time crunch here, so we're going to pick one. Craft,
58:36Waddle, Jaylen Warren, Denzel Boston, or Vele.
58:40>> Waddle. And it's not close. They will get him the ball this week. And his matchup is not scary.
58:45>> Agreed. It's definitely Waddle. Uh for those guys, let's try to do like two more quick ones. Um this is uh let me go
58:5310. Okay. 10 10 man PPR. Start or sit.
58:57Pick two. Michael Wilson, Amecha Ibuka, Jaylen Wadd, Josh DS. Okay, so we're gonna we're gonna pick two of these guys. So, this is a tough one, Jim,
59:06because there's three guys who were pretty in pretty good spots right here.
59:10>> IA we can eliminate because of the quarterback downgrade, >> right?
59:14>> Um, so we're at Michael Wilson, Jaylen Wadd, Josh DS. Let's pick two here.
59:18>> I'm with Waddle again. He's bouncing back for the second time. And Michael Wilson's floor. The corners are not good. he's facing. Love Josh Downs every
59:26week, but Wilson has a really good matchup.
59:29>> I think I'm with you on that. It's It's a tough decision. I really don't think you can go wrong with any of those
59:34three. Who's a better stash right now for IR spots? Jordan Tyson or Dejon Stribbling? Jordan Tyson for me. Jordan Tyson.
59:41>> Well, I mean, Tyson was already hurt twice this year and he was hurt his last four years in college. If he comes back,
59:48is he hurt in two weeks? That's why I'm going to say stribbling.
59:52>> We're butting heads on this one. They're both good stashes. Both good stashes right here. They're both high quality offenses.
59:57>> Um, this isn't a start, sit, but I need your advice. Should I drop Justin Herbert and Quinton Johnston? They're clogging my bench. I'm rolling with with
60:04Tyler Shuck rest of season. Drop QJ and drop Justin Herbert. I how how shallow is your league would be my question
60:12here. It's sort of a sabotage drop, the idea of a sabotage drop, gym, where you drop a big name and somebody drops fab
60:18on them. Um, but I don't know if people are really dropping fab. Justin Herbert though, I mean, the downfield throws, he's one for 12 on throws over 20 yards.
60:27Last year, he had like 750 yards on those downfield throws, everything looks broken here. And QJ, the one thing I'll say about QJ is Lad Makanki banged up
60:37again. Um, so they're and and Gatson did zero, like 0.0 last week. So Trey Harris, QJ, potentially things could consolidate a little bit. He's already
60:48like right at the top in terms of targets for this team. broken offense.
60:51Your thoughts on dropping these guys?
60:54>> Only if you have better players to pick up on the waiver wire. If you don't have a better play on the waiver wire, don't
60:58just drop them to drop them. You have to have an upgrade. Here's the last thing I'll say. Offenses when a new coach, we
61:04assume they'll be fine in week one.
61:06There's very frequent occurrences where it takes three to four weeks for a new offense to figure things out. This is training camp because, and I Chris
61:13Collinsworth said this, I agree with him. He said September is the new training camp because these guys don't do anything of value in August. So he
61:20said we will see what these teams are in October. Now I know it's been terrible, but Justin Herbert is still talented.
61:26But again, if there's something better, drop them.
61:28>> Mike McDaniel, this is like the most the most like one of the most tilting situations we've seen in terms of
61:34collective enthusiasm in fantasy football.
61:37>> Hampton, Manki, Herbert, there's no saving grace on this offense right now based on where you had to pick them. Uh,
61:43and QJ QJ steamed up to like the seventh round in some of those leagues. Sixth round. Um, uh, Connor Wilson in the
61:50chat. Wet zero RB and suffering. Mandre or Blake Cororm running back two spot this week. I'm going Mandre because I think it's going to turn into a Mandre
61:59gets a couple of catches type game.
62:01>> That might be the saving grace because Cororm doesn't catch passes. He's not the preferred red zone guy. Mike Unwenu, the guard being out is a huge loss for
62:09New England. He was a big- time push player in on the inside and that hurts.
62:13But I will go with Arman because like you say, he's going to catch some passes.
62:16>> Uh appreciate uh Cody Carpenter, Alex Dunlap, Trash Man and all the guys over at Roster Watch. They're in the chat
62:22here.
62:23>> Who is it? Who's watching this one? Is this Is this Trash Man or is this my man Cody Cody C. Shout out to those guys.
62:28They do great work. Highly recommend Cody and Alex and Trash Man shows. Um uh Stephen, he's sorry about calling us out
62:34for Listen, we appreciate it. We want to flex our wins and we will own our losses here. We have full accountability. We're
62:41not hiding. We're playing in a lot of leagues our ourselves. Um let's do one or two more and then we're out of here.
62:47>> Man, this is I We'll do one more Thursday night one. Jaylen, for the Thursday night crowd out there, Jaylen Warren or T. Higgins in the flex. I'm
62:54going T. Higgins this week. It feels like a tea game. It feels like an over environment, but I don't blame you. I
63:00have them both very close in my flex rankings, but I'm leaning T. T. Higgins.
63:05Despite Jaylen Warren, I think he'd be a top 15 running back rest of the way.
63:09>> I'm with you on T. Higgins. I think he has some real upset. This is a tougher match. I called Warren last week, not
63:14for 200 yards or whatever, but but I said he'd have a big week. It's a different matchup. Warren is safer for
63:19floor because he's going to get 15 touches no matter what, but I think Higgins is your better play because there's a little more upside there.
63:26>> We talked about Jirenian Price earlier.
63:28Jarian Price or Stefan Diggs? It's Diggs this week.
63:30>> Uh, it it has to be. They don't trust Price right now. was a three-man committee. Um Price fumbled last week.
63:36They relegated him. It's not and and Sharon is waiting in the wings soon. So, it's kind of over for Price. Play Digs.
63:43>> Okay, here we go. Last one. Jared Goff or Joe Burrow six-point touchdown. I think regardless if it's if it's a
63:49four-point or six-point, it's it's Joe Burrow here. I like Jared Goff. I think it's he's a QB1 this week, but I think
63:56Joe Burrow last week really some uh positivity. Jamar Chase redhot. We just talked about T. Higgins. Where are you going here? Golf or Burrow?
64:04>> Both are great. Go with Burrow. I mean, you got Chase, you got Higgins and Jacksonville. I They can't handle those
64:09two receivers.
