Speaker 1: And now the stretch to news at eight o'clock about
Speaker 1: eight minutes eight minutes away, and that means it's time
Speaker 1: for our weekly segment with our next guest, Tom talking
Speaker 1: a little fantasy football. Week five already our next guest
Speaker 1: host of Fantastics, Insider Football Serious XM Fantasy. We welcome
Speaker 1: in Dan Klaskins.
Speaker 2: How are you, hey, gentlemen? How are we doing tonight?
Speaker 1: We are well fired up, ready to go, but also
Speaker 1: being very cautious because I would hope owners understand what
Speaker 1: is on the verge of unfolding. Owners beware, the byes
Speaker 1: have begun. Walk us through this kind of the bye
Speaker 1: week blues and some tips for the bye weeks.
Speaker 2: Yes, my least favorite time of the fantasy football season.
Speaker 2: Lance and injuries piling up, some disappointments, all that you're
Speaker 2: dealing with. Now the buys four teams this week, The Falcons, Paris,
Speaker 2: Packers and Steelers are all sitting. We got buys and
Speaker 2: eight of the next nine weeks every week except Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: Now next couple of weeks through what I call guinea byes.
Speaker 2: There's two teams on the buy their three of them.
Speaker 2: But week eight that is by mcgeddon Arizona, Detroit, Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: Las Vegas, the Van Seahawks. All six teams are good.
Speaker 2: So here's the tips. You want to plan ahead, not
Speaker 2: too far ahead. Things change fast, and fantasy look ahead
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks, not necessarily a month. Watch the
Speaker 2: wire teams start cutting players they don't want to. That's
Speaker 2: the best part of BI week. Scoop them up. Check
Speaker 2: it daily. And also you got to consider those bids
Speaker 2: when assessing trades. As we start to get past the
Speaker 2: bye week's player with the buy already under his belt
Speaker 2: is one more game you've got to that player in
Speaker 2: the trade.
Speaker 1: So a very good How about some injuries here, Dan,
Speaker 1: I see lots of wide receivers in homes in particular.
Speaker 2: No position to three of them. Rocky, and let's start
Speaker 2: with the night's game. I mean, I think the Champus
Speaker 2: good forty nine ers have deactivated their entire roster, at
Speaker 2: least from fantasy. Christian McKay if we're really the only
Speaker 2: recognizable name for a fantasy manager, Brock Perty Juwan, Jenny,
Speaker 2: Ricky pearsall all inactive tonight. The bigger news of the week,
Speaker 2: obviously is at the receiver position. We've already lost Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 2: Now we're losing the Leak neighbors for the season along
Speaker 2: with Tyreek Hill, both of them with knee injuries. So
Speaker 2: those offenses are both day definitely taking a step back.
Speaker 2: Jayd and Daniels for the Commanders practice and pool for
Speaker 2: the second straight days. It's a little bit of good
Speaker 2: news there. Lamar Jackson didn't practice. I don't think he's
Speaker 2: played this week. He's likely missed multiple weeks, so that
Speaker 2: is not a good situation for that Ravens offense. A
Speaker 2: couple of running back injuries to watch. Bucky Irving. I
Speaker 2: don't expect him to play this week ankle foot issue,
Speaker 2: but it doesn't appear to be as serious as they
Speaker 2: initially thought. But in a walking group's never a good time.
Speaker 2: Juba Hubbard has him practiced all week, so Ricky Daddle
Speaker 2: can get some time. Any of you holding out hope
Speaker 2: that Joe Mixon's coming back this well, that's waiting craft Fellaws.
Speaker 2: If he's sitting on some fantasy benches, this is the
Speaker 2: time to cut him. And ty j Spears on his
Speaker 2: way back for the Titans, Brandon no one on his
Speaker 2: way that I are for the Jets, so they are
Speaker 2: stacking up.
Speaker 1: All right, Let's do the lineup advice, studs, duds and sleepers.
Speaker 2: Yeah, let's start with some studs LANs. Let's start with
Speaker 2: rookie of Maryon Hampton. I'm a little bummed about him
Speaker 2: losing his left tackle, Joe Walt. They had already lost
Speaker 2: their right tackle for the season as well, But nobody
Speaker 2: else is there because Nazie Harris is out. Hampton's getting
Speaker 2: the volume I got into the top ten play this
Speaker 2: week versus the Commanders, also a top ten player wide out,
Speaker 2: George Pickens, the former Steelers staying in good shape and
Speaker 2: really carrying the load here with Ceedee lamb out and
Speaker 2: really delivering. I like him this week in the highest
Speaker 2: scoring game of the week, I expect between the Jets
Speaker 2: and the Cowboys on the dud side bow next. Yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go against the Bengals on Monday night. I'm not
Speaker 2: expecting it to be so fantasy, primly at Philly on Sunday.
Speaker 2: He's outside my top fifteen and see Higgins. As much
Speaker 2: as I would hate to say if I was outside
Speaker 2: my top forty at receiver, don't think I really need
Speaker 2: to talk about the woes there. But just too many
Speaker 2: better options, even on these bi weeks, having a tough
Speaker 2: time endorsing him as a starter. And that's sleeper. I
Speaker 2: love me Sa Matthew's Tifford Night for multiple TV passes.
Speaker 2: So if you need a quarterback with fies and injuries,
Speaker 2: he's my guy to pick up there. And Cam Scataboo
Speaker 2: love him at Arizona State, loving what he's doing for
Speaker 2: the Giants. When twenty plus touch is projected on tap
Speaker 2: this week he's inside of the top twenty play at
Speaker 2: running back. I've got him at sixteen this week at
Speaker 2: New Orleans.
Speaker 1: All Right, Dan, last but most important, we know you
Speaker 1: are very passionate about the dav and there's something really
Speaker 1: cool coming up on Saturday, November eighth. Give us a
Speaker 1: preview of that.
