Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, October sixteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show, where we are
Speaker 1: a little bit preoccupied with baseball. It's me and your man,
Speaker 1: nam J Marcus Grand joined by Michael aff Florio and
Speaker 1: Lakwan Jones, and at least two of us are hoping
Speaker 1: for the World Series. We got some things to talk
Speaker 1: about on today's show, not the least of which is
Speaker 1: whether or not show Hey, Otani is going to be
Speaker 1: the lunchpin for what happens in the next two games
Speaker 1: of the NLCS next three games I guess of the
Speaker 1: NLCS whatever.
Speaker 2: Anyway, Well, because of that, maybe on the after show.
Speaker 3: I'm getting filled with anxiety just thinking about it.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to I just wanted to throw a
Speaker 1: Florio off for the rest of the show. So now
Speaker 1: he's got Otani in his head the whole time. Mean,
Speaker 1: while Lakuan is just chilling without any of.
Speaker 4: These sorts of worries, he just gets to Yeah, I'm
Speaker 4: just watching you guys go back and forth at it,
Speaker 4: and you know, I'm just on my free trial of
Speaker 4: being a Dodgers fan, so I can't really chime in
Speaker 4: and talk to track.
Speaker 5: Too, but it is what it is.
Speaker 1: Good Dodgers one of us until you truly get the
Speaker 1: October heartbreak.
Speaker 2: Anyway, enough of that, onto the football stuff.
Speaker 1: We have a week seven slate on tap, also giving
Speaker 1: you our fantasy hot takes for the week. But let's
Speaker 1: get started, as we normally do with some fantasy headlines.
Speaker 1: We had a couple of big trades go down on
Speaker 1: Tuesday that we have not yet had a chance to
Speaker 1: get too, so let's dive into them right here. DeVante
Speaker 1: Adams no longer a Raider, he goes from Las Vegas
Speaker 1: to New York. At the same time, he snatches the
Speaker 1: number seventeen off Malachai Corley's back as he's now a
Speaker 1: member of the New York Jets, reunited this old pal
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers. So simple question, Florio on the Jet side
Speaker 1: of things, who are the winners and losers? Here?
Speaker 6: The winners are DeVante Adams and Aaron Rodgers. The losers
Speaker 6: is probably everyone else. I still think like Garrett Wilson
Speaker 6: is usable in fantasy. I think he'll still be He'll
Speaker 6: be good, but he is not going to be the
Speaker 6: on question number one target in more, He's gonna have
Speaker 6: Now a guy who brings a twenty five to thirty
Speaker 6: percent target share, who has the rapport with Aaron Rodgers already.
Speaker 6: Who what Aaron Rodgers was lenning him stay at his house?
Speaker 6: That's how close those two are. So yeah, I think
Speaker 6: Errett Wilson turns down a bit. I think Tyler Conklin
Speaker 6: is unusable now.
Speaker 3: I think Alan.
Speaker 6: Lazard might pop here or there, but not to the
Speaker 6: point where you could trust him anymore in fantasy. And
Speaker 6: I think Breesce Hall kind of stays the same, probably
Speaker 6: a little bit less pass game usage, but the running
Speaker 6: lanes will be a lot bigger now because you have
Speaker 6: to worry about two stud wide receivers.
Speaker 2: He is seeing light boxes.
Speaker 1: Breecee Hall is light boxes on about forty percent or
Speaker 1: so of his rushing attempts. That number might even go
Speaker 1: down now that you got to deal with both Garrett
Speaker 1: Wilson and Devonte Adams in this offense. LaQuan on the
Speaker 1: other side of things. For the Raiders, who wins Who
Speaker 1: loses here?
Speaker 7: I think nobody really. I mean the offense is going
Speaker 7: to be struggling now even more without the Vante Adams
Speaker 7: being that he is now for wide receiver that demands
Speaker 7: all the tacking game planning, but Jacoby Myers ends up being,
Speaker 7: you know, the wide receiver one on another struggling offense
Speaker 7: with a low tier quarterback play. I mean, how quickly
Speaker 7: did they turn into the Patriots offense? So I think
Speaker 7: Jacoby Myers should fill right at home. But the good
Speaker 7: thing here is is if you have Jacoby Myers, he
Speaker 7: has reliable hands. He's a slot wide receiver that can
Speaker 7: also play out wide, which I think he'll play a lot,
Speaker 7: but as you can see, he could be a dynamic
Speaker 7: player on an offense that can really elevate the things.
Speaker 5: So he brings a high target share and I really feel.
Speaker 7: As though he's still somewhat of a flex option, but
Speaker 7: you'll definitely have to play him based on matchup because
Speaker 7: I'm not quite sure Aidan O'Connell or Gardner Minshew will
Speaker 7: be able to be dependent on for him to have
Speaker 7: the real high fantasy ceiling weeks.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and look, I like Trey Tucker kind of as
Speaker 1: a deep sleeper too. Is a guy who had a
Speaker 1: good preseason and we've seen him get some opportunities here.
Speaker 1: But basically it feels like the Raiders are just going
Speaker 1: to build the whole plane out of rock powers for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season. Like last year we had
Speaker 1: a rookie finished as the tight end number one, we
Speaker 1: could end up having a rookie finish his tight end
Speaker 1: number one again this year with Brock Bauers getting a
Speaker 1: lot of opportunities. Other big trade that is relevant to
Speaker 1: fantasy the Buffalo Bills make the move, so the Jets.
Speaker 2: They play. The Jets and Bills play on Monday Night.
Speaker 2: Buffalo wins a close one.
Speaker 1: The Jets go out and make a trade for Devontae Adams,
Speaker 1: and the Bills are like, I bet, and.
Speaker 2: They go and they get. They go get Amari Cooper
Speaker 2: from the Cleveland Browns. Uh laquon.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you this because I asked this for Florida.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be here for the next half hour. Who
Speaker 1: are the winners and losers for the Bills in this
Speaker 1: trade fantasy wise?
Speaker 7: Honestly, the Bills as a whole is a huge winner
Speaker 7: here getting somebody like Amury Cooper, which is an alpha
Speaker 7: wide receiver, which we saw you know, previous seasons before
Speaker 7: with Stefan Diggs fell.
Speaker 5: In that role.
Speaker 7: But the biggest winner to me honestly, is Kalo Shakira.
Speaker 7: A lot of people are saying, Oh, he's gonna drop
Speaker 7: down in targets, he's gonna be a guy that's gonna
Speaker 7: be on the waiver wire next week, blah blah blah.
Speaker 7: But this only lets him get a little bit more
Speaker 7: healthier and he still remains a.
Speaker 5: Crucial part of this offen.
Speaker 7: We saw Josh Allen complete nine passes in the game
Speaker 7: that Shakir was out with injury, so therefore he still
Speaker 7: maintains a role. Josh Allen's never going to quit that
Speaker 7: slot position. He's never going to quit a guy that
Speaker 7: has reliable hands over ninety percent of a catch rate.
Speaker 7: You're not just going to ignore that just because you
Speaker 7: have a new toy in the building. Where honestly, this
Speaker 7: is just going to create more scoring opportunities for this offense.
Speaker 7: This is going to get Josh Allen back to that
Speaker 7: QB one tier of where we can depend on him
Speaker 7: as a quarterback one week to week. So this offense
Speaker 7: just got completely better than what it was in previous weeks.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think without a doubt.
Speaker 1: We talked on this show not long ago about what
Speaker 1: happens when you take Khalil Shakir out of the offense
Speaker 1: and the havoc it causes. So now you have another
Speaker 1: weapon in Amari Cooper. I think it only makes it better.
Speaker 1: It makes Josh Allen better as well. Florio now with
Speaker 1: a MARII Cooper there in Buffalo, no longer in Cleveland.
Speaker 1: I know Nick Chubb is coming back, but are we
Speaker 1: just kind of done with the Browns in fantasy?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 6: There is one Browns player I would feel case starting
Speaker 6: and it's David and Joko and that's it.
Speaker 3: And that's because he should get more. He was already
Speaker 3: in the.
Speaker 6: Number two target when he was playing behind Amari Cooper.
Speaker 6: Now with Cooper, like Cooper was top five in the
Speaker 6: NFL and targets and air yards, so there were opportunities
Speaker 6: going his way. Look, they were very poor throws and stuff,
Speaker 6: but I think now the volume will go to in Djoku.
Speaker 6: And it's what we say all the time, the bar
Speaker 6: for success that tight end is so much lower than
Speaker 6: at other positions that I think he is worth taking
Speaker 6: a shot on. I don't want to do it with
Speaker 6: Jerry Judy or Elijah Moore. And no way am I
Speaker 6: ever trusting Deshaun Watson and Nick Chubb. I want to
Speaker 6: take a wait and see approach with so like in
Speaker 6: week seven, it's in Joku or buster for me in Cleveland, Yeah, it's.
Speaker 2: It is bleak in Cleveland. Offensively.
Speaker 1: You know, the people are celebrating because the Browns were
Speaker 1: able to convert a third down. Like that's where we
Speaker 1: are just converting a third gun into first down a
Speaker 1: sort of cause for celebration with the Browns offense.
Speaker 2: That is bad?
Speaker 1: All right, let's uh, let's spin ahead into week seven.
Speaker 1: We got two teams on a buy this week. The
Speaker 1: Bears and the Cowboys are off, so a couple quarterbacks,
Speaker 1: some tight ends of notes Coco Met and Jake Ferguson
Speaker 1: not available, and some wide receivers notably gone as well.
Speaker 1: But reviewing Thursday Night Football, it's the Broncos and the Saints.
Speaker 1: You can see that game a fifteenth pm Eastern on Amazon.
Speaker 1: I guess it's a revenge game for Sean Payton. I
Speaker 1: don't know, we'll see, but I will ask you this, Florio.
Speaker 1: Maybe this is because Adam Rank has been putting this
Speaker 1: thought into my head.
Speaker 2: Are we sleeping on bon Knicks.
Speaker 6: Now? Like bon Nicks is playing well for real life purposes,
Speaker 6: but I do love that he is running in fantasy.
Speaker 6: Like he has three games this year with twenty five
Speaker 6: or more rushing yards sixty one last week, and to
Speaker 6: Ranks point, he does have multiple passing touchdowns in each
Speaker 6: of the last two, but he has five passing touchdowns
Speaker 6: on this season. He is yet to reach two hundred
Speaker 6: and fifty passing yards in a game. Most of his
Speaker 6: games are in the high one hundred, low two two
Speaker 6: hundred range. So like in this week, I could make
Speaker 6: a case for him as a sleeper against this Saints defense,
Speaker 6: but he is still far from a player that I
Speaker 6: think you feel comfortable throwing into your line.
Speaker 1: More rushing touchdowns than Jalen Hurts and Kyler Murray this
Speaker 1: year for bo Nick for what it's worth. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: keep trying to look at this thing and squint and
Speaker 1: seeing if I can make the same case that Rank is,
Speaker 1: and I can't completely do it. I feel like this
Speaker 1: might be a case of wishcasting because he probably has
Speaker 1: him like on a super flex team or something like that.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, moving ahead to Sunday, we got Patriots and
Speaker 1: the Jaguars. New England is going to Old England to
Speaker 1: play Jacksonville nine to thirty am. So you can see
Speaker 1: that game right here on NFL Network and NFL Plus
Speaker 1: subscriptions do apply for NFL Plus. Last week, Lakwan and
Speaker 1: we saw Drake May make his NFL debut through three
Speaker 1: touchdown passes against the Houston Texans.
Speaker 2: Would you start Drake May?
Speaker 1: Let's keep it to like super flex two QB leads,
Speaker 1: let's not get you look at one leads.
Speaker 2: Would you start Drake May in like multiple QB formats?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 7: Yeah, he could be a candidate to be a starter
Speaker 7: this week.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 7: And honestly, we're looking at Drake May and I honestly
Speaker 7: feel like he can build off of this game that
Speaker 7: he had last week in his first start, put up
Speaker 7: twenty fantasy points, just under twenty fantasy points.
Speaker 5: But the dude put up two.
Speaker 7: Hundred and forty three passing yards. That's more yards than
Speaker 7: Jacoby Myers has put in any game this season. He
Speaker 7: hasn't even touched the two hundred yard mark. And he
Speaker 7: also put up three touchdowns the two interceptions. Okay, he's
Speaker 7: a rookie, but more so I'm looking at him how
Speaker 7: he's operating in this pocket, being able to get out
Speaker 7: of that pocket, get out of trouble is very good
Speaker 7: for a guy that you're gonna want to get those
Speaker 7: rushing yards to be a candidate to be in your
Speaker 7: starting lineups. I mean, as soon as he calls hike,
Speaker 7: he's seeing his offensive line jerseys just come full speed
Speaker 7: out of It's like, how can he do anything? But
Speaker 7: it's more so when you have a guy to be
Speaker 7: able to get out of the pocket like that, and
Speaker 7: you have reliable receivers like a Hunter Henry and a
Speaker 7: d Mario Douglas. These guys can create separation and keep
Speaker 7: these drives alive and getting the first downs.
Speaker 5: And Drake by using his leg as a huge plus man.
Speaker 7: So I could see me starting them in super flex
Speaker 7: this week, because I really am.
Speaker 2: I do think the rushing ability is sort of underrated.
Speaker 1: It's the thing that kind of got talked about during
Speaker 1: draft seat, like actual NFL draft season, that we haven't
Speaker 1: talked about a lot since, you know, the regular season started.
Speaker 1: Ran for more than eleven hundred yards combined in his
Speaker 1: last two seasons at North Carolina. So he's a guy
Speaker 1: who can certainly move those rushing yards we know are
Speaker 1: very very valuable when it comes to fantasy football, Lions
Speaker 1: and the Vikings, big matchup in the NFC North with
Speaker 1: a couple of quarterbacks that you know, I'm sort of middling,
Speaker 1: I think in the eyes of fantasy managers. But if
Speaker 1: you had to choose between Jared Goff and Sam Donald Florio,
Speaker 1: who you.
Speaker 6: Got h I think I would call Sam Donald in
Speaker 6: this one because it's very close.
Speaker 3: But I could see a.
Speaker 6: World where the Lions jump out in to a lead
Speaker 6: and then they rely more on Gibbs and Montgomery. The
Speaker 6: Vikings are going to struggle to run the ball against
Speaker 6: the Lions because every team has does rushing and receiving
Speaker 6: yards allowed to running backs this season, So I think
Speaker 6: Sam Donald is gonna have to throw out this week,
Speaker 6: and I think he's going to be in catchup mode. Golf,
Speaker 6: to me is the safer option, more of a safe floor.
Speaker 6: But if you're going for the upside, I think Donald
Speaker 6: is to play.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned how it's hard to run on the Lions.
Speaker 1: Also very curious as to what the Lions pass rush
Speaker 1: is going to be like now that Aiden Hutchinson is
Speaker 1: gone for the rest of this year. Can they get
Speaker 1: pressure consistently on Sam Donald If not, he stands back
Speaker 1: there and carves him up with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison,
Speaker 1: which should be a fun game to watch for sure.
Speaker 1: We got a rematch of the Super Bowl coming up
Speaker 1: this week, the Chiefs heading to Santa Clair to take
Speaker 1: on the forty nine Ers the Q One. Obviously, the
Speaker 1: big story this year with the Chiefs has just been
Speaker 1: that the offense has not been particularly great. Travis Kelsey
Speaker 1: has sort of come to life the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: But after Kelsey, which Chiefs do you feel comfortable started?
Speaker 7: I mean, look, I feel uncomfortable with all of them,
Speaker 7: but I'm actually comfortable starting Kareem Hunt being that they
Speaker 7: gave him twenty eight touches last week. I mean, Vying
Speaker 7: will always remain king in my book, so I really
Speaker 7: appreciate that they were able to give him that many
Speaker 7: touches and help a lot of fantasy managers out. I mean,
Speaker 7: ugly production on the ground, but like I said, he's
Speaker 7: getting the vuyuing and there's not much any other Chiefs
Speaker 7: players outside of Travis Kelce that I can really hang
Speaker 7: my hat on and like be dependent on. But if
Speaker 7: I'm gonna look anywhere and possibly my roster is down
Speaker 7: depleted at the running back position, being in with all
Speaker 7: these injuries.
Speaker 5: And et cetera.
Speaker 7: But Kareem Hunt look good against the Saints. Like I said,
Speaker 7: ugly production when you look at the stat line, but honestly,
Speaker 7: he looked good to be coming off the couch and
Speaker 7: being able to put up some good fantasy points.
Speaker 2: We're sitting here talking about Kareem Hunt. Somewhere in the universe.
Speaker 1: Clyde Edwards de Lerland had a deep sad sigh. She's
Speaker 1: just like reuniting with old players rather than using and
Speaker 1: working with some of the guys that are currently on
Speaker 1: their roster. It should be a fun game. I don't
Speaker 1: know if it's gonna be a high score game. Both
Speaker 1: these defenses playing pretty well. It could be a Travis
Speaker 1: Kelce George Kittle showdown in this one. Time to talk
Speaker 1: about some sleepers for the week. LQ, who you got?
Speaker 7: It's a tight end I mean, honestly, the tight end.
Speaker 5: Streets are a little bit depleted as well.
Speaker 7: But Kayden has a great match up against the Ravens
Speaker 7: this week where they've been allowing a ton of production
Speaker 7: to the tight end position. And you know, he's a
Speaker 7: guy that's going to be on the field with ninety
Speaker 7: percent of the snaps, and as of late he's been
Speaker 7: earning his targets from Baker Mayfield. The chemistry is building there.
Speaker 7: So I think with this matchup against the Ravens, who've
Speaker 7: been allowing the most receiving yards and catches to tight ends,
Speaker 7: I think this is where he could really get busy
Speaker 7: in the middle of the field and possibly fall into
Speaker 7: the end zone for the first touchdown that the Ravens
Speaker 7: allowed to tight ends to seedon.
Speaker 1: Uh, you know quite as it's kept since week three.
Speaker 1: You nearly a twenty percent target share for Kate Ott
Speaker 1: in about sixteen percent of the air yards. Yes, Mike
Speaker 1: Evans Chris Godwin get a whole lot of the work,
Speaker 1: but Kate Atton getting some opportunity as well.
Speaker 2: Floria, who is your sleeper for the week.
Speaker 6: That I and you and Lakwan and anyone who really
Speaker 6: does this probably celebrated last week. Kamani Videll, he was
Speaker 6: a big sleeper for a lot of people coming into
Speaker 6: the season, finally got active last week, only four carries,
Speaker 6: but I like his past game usage as well. Two targets,
Speaker 6: forty yards and a touchdown. You see the touchdown catch
Speaker 6: right here. But my thinking is this was the first
Speaker 6: game for the Chargers coming off.
Speaker 3: Of a bye, so they were able to give JK.
Speaker 6: Dobbins what he had twenty five carries, and he was
Speaker 6: the primary back in the passing game. We know his
Speaker 6: long injury history and stuff.
Speaker 3: Are they going to be able to give him twenty
Speaker 3: seven touches a week? I have questions about that.
Speaker 6: So I do think we could see Kamani Vadell's workload
Speaker 6: increasing as we move forward. So he is certainly someone
Speaker 6: that I wanted my rosters, and I even started him
Speaker 6: in the league last week and that touchdown catch paid off.
Speaker 1: Yeah, He's a guy that I liked a lot after
Speaker 1: he was a healthy scratch early on. Sort of had
Speaker 1: to move on because I had injuries ahead, guys not performing,
Speaker 1: so I had to kind of drop him. You know,
Speaker 1: things that should have been brought to my attention, you
Speaker 1: know five weeks ago there, Jim Harball that you're gonna
Speaker 1: start using him back then.
Speaker 2: But whatever, for me, I'm going down to Carolina.
Speaker 1: I'm looking at Andy Dalton as a sleeper this week
Speaker 1: because partially we're always picking on Ed Washington. Commander's defense,
Speaker 1: and partially because Andy Golton's been decent. I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: say he's been great, but multiple touchdown passes in three
Speaker 1: of the four games that he's played since he took
Speaker 1: over as Carolina's starting quarterback.
Speaker 2: This is a game that.
Speaker 1: Could sneakily be high scoring, mostly because neither of these
Speaker 1: defenses is particularly good. We know what Jaden Daniels is
Speaker 1: going to do against Carolina. He's gonna get his pass
Speaker 1: catchers involved, he's gonna run the football. But Andy Dalton
Speaker 1: could have some low end QB one vibes another one
Speaker 1: sort of like Drake May. I think if you're in
Speaker 1: a two QB league, you're absolutely playing him. The deeper leagues,
Speaker 1: if you're looking for one quarterback to help you out,
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton could be your guy.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: Coming up, we have some hot starts, guys that absolutely
Speaker 1: should be in line. Plus we are taking a look
Speaker 1: at some of the bigger games left on this week
Speaker 1: seven schedule.
Speaker 2: Stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: It's time to see who will deliver. Presented by Uber Eats,
Speaker 1: Guys that you cannot leave sitting on your bench this
Speaker 1: week and uh Lakwan who like, you're gonna going with
Speaker 1: a guy that looks like he's looking for back to
Speaker 1: back big performances.
Speaker 7: Yeah, let's go Tyler Algier Week six angry run winner.
Speaker 7: He needs another step there coming this week. Let's keep
Speaker 7: this train going hot against the Seahawks defense, who cannot
Speaker 7: stop the run. A ton of mistackles. They are bottom
Speaker 7: of the table when it comes to run defense, and
Speaker 7: Tyler Aljeer doesn't need much to eat. He's doing all
Speaker 7: this on a forty percent snap share. So therefore, Bijon
Speaker 7: Robson still remains the top guy there, but Tyler Aljier
Speaker 7: is heavily sleeped on. He is definitely a guy I
Speaker 7: want in my flex position this week.
Speaker 1: Just say, bottom of the table. What is this the
Speaker 1: Premier League? What's happening here.
Speaker 5: In there?
Speaker 2: Florio? Who do you like this week? Yeah?
Speaker 6: I don't know what sport you guys were talking about
Speaker 6: in this version of football. I like Tony Pollard this
Speaker 6: week because Tony Pollard is everything that we were hoping
Speaker 6: he was last season when he was a first round
Speaker 6: pick in Fantasy, playing well over sixty percent of the snaps,
Speaker 6: averaging nineteen opportunities per game and that's led to him
Speaker 6: scoring fifteen or more fantasy points.
Speaker 3: In all but one game this season.
Speaker 6: And then he gets the Bills, who've allowed the second
Speaker 6: most fantasy points per game two running backs. They're up
Speaker 6: there in rushing yards, and they have allowed the most targets, catches,
Speaker 6: and receiving yards. They get torched by big plays on
Speaker 6: a weekly basis. And Tony Pollard is the Titans offense
Speaker 6: right now, so I think he is going to get
Speaker 6: plenty of volume. Even if they're trailing, They'll throw him
Speaker 6: the ball, especially with Tajy Spears banged up.
Speaker 3: He is just they must start running back right now.
Speaker 1: Absolutely love Tony Pollard this week. I also love George
Speaker 1: Kittle this week going for the forty nine ers against
Speaker 1: the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: We talked a little bit about that game.
Speaker 1: Certainly you're starting Travis Kelcey on one side, and you're
Speaker 1: absolutely starting George Kittle, who is the tight end one
Speaker 1: at the moment on the other side. Kansas City the
Speaker 1: best possible matchups for tight ends this year, giving up
Speaker 1: almost eighteen fantasy points per game to the position. Kittle
Speaker 1: has at least four catches in every game this year,
Speaker 1: five touchdowns in his last four games. I think the
Speaker 1: Niners are going to lean on him very heavily and
Speaker 1: what should be an entertaining although I think it'll be
Speaker 1: sort of a lower scoring game. This won't be like
Speaker 1: we've seen with Niners Chiefs games in the past. Could
Speaker 1: be more of a defensive battle. But I think Kittle
Speaker 1: still going to have himself a pretty good day. That
Speaker 1: was Who Will Deliver presented by Uber Eats, where you
Speaker 1: can get the best deals on game day food all
Speaker 1: season long, the official on demand delivery partner of the NFL.
Speaker 2: Order. Now all right, keep going to some of the
Speaker 2: big games.
Speaker 1: In Week seven, Sunday Night Football, the Jets at the
Speaker 1: Steelers in Florida. There is talk that Russell Wilson could
Speaker 1: get the started quarterback for Pittsburgh. Are you more willing
Speaker 1: to start a Steelers pass catcher even beyond just George
Speaker 1: Pickens with Russet QB Maybe.
Speaker 3: Moving forward, but not this week, Like I have George.
Speaker 6: Pickens as a sit this week because the Jets defense
Speaker 6: is really good, Like, look at what they have led
Speaker 6: to quarterbacks not named Josh Allen. They have helped them
Speaker 6: in check and a lot of what Allan did came
Speaker 6: on the ground with his legs. Pickens sees so much
Speaker 6: time out wide, which means it's Sauce Gardner and DJ Reid,
Speaker 6: and he primarily plays on the left side, which is
Speaker 6: Sauce Gardner's side.
Speaker 3: But the other thing to this is it's not like Russell.
Speaker 6: Wilson has been playing with them this whole time, Like
Speaker 6: he got hurt in August and missed a bunch of
Speaker 6: training camp. Then the Ones reps were going to justin fields.
Speaker 6: Even this week they're saying those two are going to
Speaker 6: be splitting reps with the Ones. So it might take
Speaker 6: a week or two for Russ to shake off the
Speaker 6: rust and to get that chemistry down with those other
Speaker 6: pass catchers.
Speaker 3: So in this matchup, I think you can play it safe.
Speaker 1: Very interesting to sort of watch how this goes. It
Speaker 1: feels kind of like Indianapolis one quarterbacks. The rusher we
Speaker 1: like starting him. The other quarterback maybe not so much
Speaker 1: we're starting, but we like his pass catchers.
Speaker 2: Two main night football.
Speaker 1: Games this week, Lakwan, we got the Ravens at the Buccaneers,
Speaker 1: and I'm asking for a Ravens tight end vibe.
Speaker 2: Check how we feeling.
Speaker 7: I'm still feeling like on the fence like I don't know,
Speaker 7: because honestly, Mark Andrews finally the end zone was such
Speaker 7: a great moment, like we celebrated it that week because
Speaker 7: he helped a lot of fantasy managers out, or he
Speaker 7: didn't because he was probably on somebody's bench. But more so,
Speaker 7: I need more than three catches from this guy. I
Speaker 7: need him to get back to form where we know
Speaker 7: that he can average five catches per game or seven
Speaker 7: targets per game, where he can be the focal point
Speaker 7: because Isaiah likely still out snapped him last week, and
Speaker 7: that's still bothering me. Where I know Mark Andrews could
Speaker 7: be the guy that can be the number one tight
Speaker 7: end in this league. It's just that we just don't
Speaker 7: know how his health is right now. That car accident
Speaker 7: over the summer might have played a huge role into
Speaker 7: why he's not.
Speaker 5: Playing the way he's playing.
Speaker 7: But at least we should have gotten that information before
Speaker 7: we went out there and draft him in the first
Speaker 7: four rounds.
Speaker 2: Would have been nice to know for sure.
Speaker 1: Other money night game, the Chargers at the Cardinals off
Speaker 1: Royal is kind of benchable this week, especially if we
Speaker 1: don't have Marvin Harrison Junior.
Speaker 3: He is if you have another good option. That's the
Speaker 3: big caveat.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying a bench him for like Drake may
Speaker 6: or Spencer Rattler or Daniel Jones, whatever the flavor.
Speaker 3: Of the week was off the waiver wire. But if
Speaker 3: you paired Kyler with another quarterback like something.
Speaker 6: Like Jared Gofflet's day, which is something that was very
Speaker 6: possible in drafts, then I think it is okay to
Speaker 6: take that other rot.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so far, it has not been the season I
Speaker 1: think a lot of us would have hoped for Kyler
Speaker 1: Murray averaging one hundred and ninety seven passing yards per
Speaker 1: game going against a defense that has been very, very
Speaker 1: good through the first month plus of the season. All Right,
Speaker 1: you can catch the rest of our Week seven previews
Speaker 1: over on NFL plus four Fantasy Extra. We will get
Speaker 1: through the rest of the games on the Week seven slate.
Speaker 1: But as we get ready to wrap things up last
Speaker 1: few minutes here, it is time to drive your line
Speaker 1: up presented by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry.
Speaker 2: We're gonna get spicy here to close out the show.
Speaker 1: And Lakwan, I would acclusion of HOMERSM but uh, I
Speaker 1: think you've got something with.
Speaker 2: This take here.
Speaker 7: No, this isn't homerism, man, but Rams dst haven't often
Speaker 7: been an option for a lot of folks to put
Speaker 7: in starting lineups. But they're going against the Raiders, who
Speaker 7: are allowing the fifth most sacks this season. I honestly
Speaker 7: think this defensive line is going to feast because it's
Speaker 7: given me old Saint Louis vibes where we had Chris Long,
Speaker 7: Michael Brockers, Robert Quinn and Aaron Donald on that line.
Speaker 7: Just going to be feasting with these young guys that
Speaker 7: we got in the trenches.
Speaker 1: All right, So the Rams look like they're gonna be
Speaker 1: playing well, especially because the Raiders. I just say, the
Speaker 1: Raiders were down DeVonta Adams, but they haven't had him
Speaker 1: for the last couple of weeks. So yeah, we'll see
Speaker 1: what Aidan O'Connell can do against that Rams defense.
Speaker 2: Florio Le's get a little bit spicy here, what are
Speaker 2: you looking at?
Speaker 3: Tank? Bigsby will be in RB one this week.
Speaker 6: I think he goes for over one hundred yards and
Speaker 6: a touchdown as long as Travis Etn is sidelined. But
Speaker 6: not only have the Patriots really struggled against the run
Speaker 6: already this year, and Bigsby has ninety plus and two
Speaker 6: of his last three. But the Jags already were in
Speaker 6: London and the Patriots are traveling now. I think that
Speaker 6: is a huge advantage for the Jaguars. I think they'll
Speaker 6: have the lead, and we have seen when they have
Speaker 6: a lead or they're in a close game, they are
Speaker 6: not afraid to feed Bigsby.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Tank Bigsby looks like he's really taken over that
Speaker 1: Travis Etn job we saw last week. Etn was not
Speaker 1: a fumble, it looked like a fumble. It was calling
Speaker 1: in complete pass. But after that also he had a
Speaker 1: hamstring flare up and we didn't see him the rest
Speaker 1: of the day. And you know, now, Tank Bixby playing
Speaker 1: so well, it just seems like he really is pushing
Speaker 1: to get, if not the starting job, certainly a bigger
Speaker 1: slice of the pie than what he has been getting
Speaker 1: so far this season. For me, I'm looking at another
Speaker 1: running back and it's Alexander Madison. Now, you heard Lakwan
Speaker 1: say the Rams defense is going to eat against the Raiders,
Speaker 1: and I don't think that's completely wrong, but I do
Speaker 1: think there is room for Alexander Madison to go out
Speaker 1: and get some production here. He's running just as well
Speaker 1: as a mere White, although admittedly that is a low bar,
Speaker 1: but he is more involved in the passing game than
Speaker 1: White is, which means he is not as game script
Speaker 1: the pendent, we see some big runs, some explosive plays
Speaker 1: out of Madison and going against the Rams defense that
Speaker 1: really has struggled against running backs, especially those who catch
Speaker 1: the football as well. I don't know how many points
Speaker 1: are gonna be scoring this game because I'm not really
Speaker 1: sure what version of either offense is going to show
Speaker 1: up this week. But I do think we see Alexander
Speaker 1: Madison get some touches that I'm telling you, I think
Speaker 1: he will be a top fifteen fantasy running back. He'll
Speaker 1: catch a few passes, maybe he finds the end zone,
Speaker 1: and Madison's gonna be a bit of a surprise, be
Speaker 1: a nice flex option for a lot of fantasy managers.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
