Fantasy Football - Starts of the Week + Week 7 Breakdown, Weather Worries - Podcast for 10/16

9:39Andy Holloway:Okay, which is good. He was injured in week three. That's like a Wednesday. Yep. They are the Monday night game, so this is on schedule.

9:49Jason Moore:Yeah, they're expecting him to play. What's going to happen this week is he's going to practice and play or he's going to have a setback. I don't think there's a world where he's practicing this week and then doesn't play off the hamstring

10:02Mike Wright:his hamstring always terrifies me for the setback but hopefully they've taken the right amount of time they may be feeling a little pressed with no Abuka and no Godwin so that scares me don't press too hard no Mike you take it easy you make sure Baker wins the MVP how's your hamstring Mike? are all Mike's hamstrings somewhat correlated? yeah we have a hive hive hamstring

10:26Andy Holloway:so yours are good? mine are actually getting worse when's the last time you've used them? a couple days ago

10:34Mike Wright:I stood up that was news and notes sponsored by Progressive Insurance quote today at progressive.com Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third party insurers not available in all states or situations coverage subject to policy terms limits and conditions talk starts

10:54Jason Moore:starts of the week presented by u.s bank

11:00Mike Wright:well it's week seven and we're getting into the matchups today we're getting into the matchups we we got some weather news to talk about as well that we'll need to what's that about to highlight it's just uh it's the way the world works mike get a roof get a retractable roof you dummies it sounds very much like get a room yeah get a roof get a roof all right my starts of the week we'll get into all of them mine are all bounce back candidates all of mine a little bit of a encouragement right we're so reactionary week to week jason's been pretty good at picking out these players that they have a down week and then they get it going lad mcconkey two straight great weeks an example of that minor bounce back candidates and i'm starting with his quarterback i'm going justin herbert this week bouncing back he's not been very good he's not been a top 10 quarterback since week three this is a dome showdown jason you'll be happy it's the dome they got a roof fantastic indianapolis daniel jones 48 and a half point over under chargers favored and they remain a pass heavy team and they're going to continue to be without hampton And it's not that Vidal didn't do a good job.

12:14Mike Wright:It's just that they need to lean on their best player, and it's Justin Herbert. They're third in pass rate over expectations, or expectation. And teams are chucking it against Indianapolis. They are 26th in terms of fancy points allowed to quarterbacks. It's a good matchup for them. All right, my quarterback start of the week is Jared Goff.

12:40Jason Moore:Ah, Jared Goff. you can start him in certain matchups when you want gargantuan outputs and this is one of those weeks they are playing on Monday Night Football.

12:50Andy Holloway:I sure hope so because we like we've been calling

12:53Jason Moore:for the golf weeks and it's it's really just one. You might have been calling this is the this is a golf week this is a blow-up week Monday Night Football against Baker 52 and a half point over under there's a difficult team to run on with Vita Vea there you you pretty much have to throw on the Buccaneers, and they're 26th in yards per attempt, 24th in scheduled just fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. This is at home in a dome, huge. Everything is lining up to be perfect, and usually what I love about golf, and maybe it's been a couple of weeks where it's not that way, but over the course of his career, golf is predictable.

13:28Jason Moore:Golf is like you can be like, oh, yeah, this is a golf game, and it works out well. We've seen this with pretty much every game Tampa Bay has been in. Baker's going to do enough to get stuff done. Hopefully Mike Evans is there. And if he does, if he can score on the Lions enough, the Lions are going to have to throw the ball. So if I had Jared Goff, I can't imagine binging him this week.

13:49Andy Holloway:All right, I'm going right back to it, man. C.J. Stroud off of the bye week. I think he can be streamed yet again.

13:58Mike Wright:And your name is – what's your name?

14:00Andy Holloway:My name is Jason Moore. Whoa! No, I do. I like Stroud. It makes sense. You got it last time. You called it. It's a lot easier when you're calling it against a Baltimore Ravens that is playing Juco guys in their secondary. But last time we saw him, 244-4. He is completing 71 % of his passes. He's also running a bit more, 3.6 rush attempts per game. You know, just a little tiny floor. Just maybe there's a mistake. Okay, we're covered up by 15 to 20 rushing yards. And it's the matchup. Seattle is a good defense, but the way that teams have been scoring on them or getting fantasy points, it's through the air.

14:41Andy Holloway:Over the last month, 26th in passing yards allowed per game and 25th in completion percentage allowed. And you're talking Arizona, Tampa Bay, and Jacksonville all scoring above their expectations. So I think that Stroud is in play.

14:55Mike Wright:All right. Last week, the big storyline, Quinshawn Dudkins was one of the – Oh, nice. The big Punday commonalities. Bounce back week. It's Miami. Quinch on Judkins. He was coming off three straight top 12 weeks. They fell flat. Oh, that's the wind.

15:15Jason Moore:Yeah. You're not throwing there.

15:17Andy Holloway:That's not a very strong wind sound.

15:19Jason Moore:It's filtering. This pop filter is doing a... Thank you, Mike.

15:23Mike Wright:That's much better, Mike. It's not that hard. So this is the game that is red alert on the weather front. Miami Cleveland this morning they said gusts of 50 to 60 miles an hour which I don't believe with sustained winds we're early but you got to pay attention Dillon Gabriel might blow away and in those in those gusts but it's sustained 30 plus mile an hour winds with rain some sweet boomerang passes I think Quenchon Judkins alone in this matchup whether notwithstanding would be a great bounce back because the Dolphins rush defense might be the worst in the NFL you don't care whether the weather is bad I don't care whether the weather all right yeah don't put a roof on it I don't care Quenchaun Judkins is going to take care of business and um I think they're giving up 130 plus yards a game to running backs and and Judkins is so good like don't freak out like last week I know it hurt and it's stunk and that's going to be part of being a part of a bad offense sometimes, but let's go bounce back number two, Quinchon Judkins.

16:27Jason Moore:I like it. My start of the week this week is Jalen Warren tonight in the Thursday night football matchup. He came back off of an injury, was involved quite a bit. He had 53 % of the snaps, averaged 4.8 yards a touch, looked great against a really tough Browns defense last week, and now he plays against the Bengals rush defense that they're in contention for the worst rush defense in the NFL 29th in rushing yards allowed per game 30th in yards before contact allowed and they're dead last in schedule just a fantasy points allowed to running back so whether it's on the ground or through the air

17:02Andy Holloway:Jalen Warren is is in a great spot tonight how can he possibly hit a ceiling knowing that Caleb Johnson is going to siphon all that work.

17:14Jason Moore:Caleb Johnson is going to have one drive-killing touchdown run, but the rest will be Jalen Warren. And that's part of why I wanted to make Jalen Warren my start of the week is so that people know. To repent for your yesterday. Not to repent. So that they know. Jalen Warren's the dude there, obviously. He has been playing great ball. He's the one that Aaron Rodgers trusts. He's the one that Mike Tomlin trusts right now. It's never too late to repent, though. It's never too late to repent. I love that advice. I'm not going to repent of my Caleb Johnson love. Not yet. Okay, we'll talk to you tomorrow.

17:46Jason Moore:See you on tomorrow's show.

17:47Andy Holloway:Jordan Mason versus Philadelphia. If Caleb Johnson fumbles, it's the funniest thing that has ever happened.

17:54Jason Moore:The best news is here, we're set up for success. If Caleb Johnson does nothing, great, dunk on me. If Caleb Johnson gets that touchdown, fantastic. Oh, you're going to dunk all over.

18:04Andy Holloway:You're darn right. From half court. I'm going with Jordan Mason against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a bye week. You always love that. Guy's getting a little bit healthier. Right now, Jordan Mason's at 31 % of the team's total rush attempts and targets, his workhorse percentage. Anything over 30 % is elite. And I know Carter being out last week certainly helped Camp Scadaboo, but it's just the Eagles right now are looking like a run funnel defense. 26th in rushing yards allowed, 31st in percent of runs stuffed at the line of scrimmage. Like, guys are getting going. If Jordan Mason is not getting – he's one of these guys.

18:39Andy Holloway:If you're not stuffing him at the line, he's going to start ripping off chunk yardage. He's going to be hitting big plays. So I like Jordan Mason a lot. Bounce back number three.

18:50Mike Wright:He was Cortland nothing last week, traveling all the way overseas for one reception and 17 yards on just three targets. But I'm taking Cortland Sutton to bounce back against the New York football giants, who we're now excited to watch play football with Jackson Dart and Cam Scadaboo. but I'm taking Cortland Sutton. He had been a top 20 wide receiver in four of the first five weeks. He is the go-to receiver for Bo Nix. If Bo Nix is going to get it going, it's going to happen with Cortland Sutton and the giants are 26th in schedule adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers. Trust in Cortland Sutton this week.

19:27Mike Wright:What's going on, Jason? You are, are we pausing the starts of the week for a second? Yeah, we're pausing.

19:32Jason Moore:What happened? We're pausing. Why is that?

19:35Mike Wright:Why is that?

19:36Jason Moore:Did a trade happen? Yeah, a trade happened. Oh, no. I don't have... I got a breaking news. We'll go.

19:48Andy Holloway:What?

19:49Jason Moore:Breaking news. Woo, baby! All right, this sucks. Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Mike's team is very, very good. Mike and Josh are the two leaders in the League of Records. Jeremy, you're a gentleman. And Jeremy, pleasure doing business with you. Also part of the trade agreement. I'm going to slap you across the face. Brian Ketron, you're an awesome dude. Oh, that was part of that. Oh, that's funny. That's part of the trade agreement. So here's the trade. Mike is sending away an injured Garrett Wilson and an R.J. Harvey, two young good players, and his second round pick. He finally strikes. Which is the biggest ammunition we have in our league, and he's receiving Justin Jefferson in a later pick back.

20:29Andy Holloway:I mean, Garrett Wilson, great keeper. Obviously, he's going to miss a couple weeks, and Harvey, I think, is in our format a very good keeper. Yeah.

20:37Jason Moore:I understand it from both sides. I don't like it from my side.

20:41Mike Wright:There is an arms race at the top of our league right now.

20:45Andy Holloway:Just say it over here.

20:46Mike Wright:Wow.

20:47Andy Holloway:Okay. Did you pull that reference, Jeremy? Oh, I thought you. Okay. I was like, it was really short. That was a follow-up.

20:54Jason Moore:I was about to talk about my wide receiver start of the week, which is not Justin Jefferson. It is Rushy Rice right off of suspending mine. Can we talk about Rushy Rice's ridiculous hype video?

21:06Mike Wright:His video? Ridiculous hype video for multiple reasons. Okay. Let's talk. One, what you're returning from. Yes. Was it an injury? Are you battling back from a tough rehab? Yeah. Or a felony? Which one? A double. Which one is it? I think it was two felonies. And then the second part is to use a customized logo in the Rushy Rice return.

21:28Jason Moore:Oh, well.

21:29Mike Wright:in the video itself. Oh, is that the return?

21:32Jason Moore:Yeah, it's the return because he's Rushy Rice.

21:36Mike Wright:Go on. You can now.

21:36Jason Moore:Anyways, look, according to that video, he has been.

21:39Mike Wright:I can't wait to see Deshaun Watson's hype return video. Oh, man.

21:42Jason Moore:Justin Tucker. Where's Justin Tucker's video? All right. Rushy Rice, he's been working out like crazy, according to that video. OJ Simpson coming back. You know, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported that the Chiefs are going to allocate a heavy workload to Rice as soon as possible. because he is coming off of a suspension and not an injury. There's no, you know, ramp up, no getting healthy, no worry about, you know, those type of things. And, you know, the matchup here is perfect. The Raiders are running an absurd amount of zone. They're running cover three or cover four at 62 % of the time. That's the second highest in the NFL.

22:14Jason Moore:Last year in those games we saw Rice dominate. He was targeted on 43 % of his routes versus those coverage. So we've had a lot of questions already this week of, like, do I wait and see with Rushy Rice? and this is I'm making my start of the week because it's like no you don't wait and see you've waited to see but you want to see him in your lineup I'm putting him in my lineup immediately any wide receiver can dud you gotta just you have waited long enough most likely you are not a six and oh team you are two and four and been waiting and so now's the time plug them in your lineup get what you're gonna get and I think you're gonna be thrilled with it and I mean

22:49Andy Holloway:probably a puff piece but the i mean yesterday it was like chiefs immediately going to heavy workload for for rasheed rice so i'm very excited for it uh i kind of snuck it in i think on monday it was like oh you know what dk mcgf i'm really liking the position that he's in he's taking on cincinnati it's tonight touchdown in four straight games no one on that team can handle his physicality since he's 30th and schedule adjusted points to the wide receiver position I mean honestly the the the Bengals are that team where you could put anyone in but when you have top tier players like DK Metcalf and maybe you don't think of Jalen Warren as a top tier guy but he might be turning into one and just all Steelers tonight I'm pretty excited when it

23:36Jason Moore:comes to the Trey Hendrickson injury that matters DK Metcalf more way more than Jalen Warren because that you know they'll replace him with someone that might be better at stuffing the run but But if you give Aaron Rodgers time to throw, he's going to find Metcalf.

23:50Mike Wright:My final bounce back start of the week, it's a beounce back. What? For Mason Taylor. A beounce back. That's good. It's Carolina. It's Mason Taylor. It's no Garrett Wilson. It's probably no Josh Reynolds. It's an 18 % target share in the season. It's a throw the last one out because they didn't throw at all. It's a meow mix start of the week. Mason Taylor bouncing back against Carolina. And, oh, yeah, the Panthers are the worst in the league.

24:19Andy Holloway:Why don't we – let's put that on social media. Andy Holloway, start of the week, Mason Taylor. There you go. All right. There you go.

24:27Jason Moore:This is, like my Rushdie Rice, coming straight off of suspension. I'm throwing George Kittle in the lineup. Oh, what is this hype video? Straight off the injury. He didn't have a double felony. Okay. So you only really hype up those coming off of – You should make sure that he's going to play. Yeah, I mean, obviously you're going to play. whether he plays or not, you're still starting him? You got one of those? You know what? I'm going to be so bold as to say yes. Okay. Whether he plays or not, I'm starting him. George Kittle.

24:53Mike Wright:Sunday night with a Tonjes Mick backup. Yes. Nice. Yeah.

24:56Jason Moore:Tonjes Mick backup on the Sunday night game. You'll be fine. I expect George Kittle to play, and I don't care if the matchup is good, if the matchup is bad. Right now, like Atlanta looks great against tight ends. They haven't faced anyone elite. It doesn't matter. George Kittle is going to finish this season as the tight end one in points per game. They need him so bad. And in his splits with Brock Purdy, who looks like he might be trending to play, he's averaging 12.6 fantasy points per game and 66 receiving yards a game over three years. It's not a small sample size. So Kittle, right to my lineup.

25:36Andy Holloway:Brooksy makes a great point here. A.J. Barner plays on Monday night. should Jake Tondes make basketball not be there. A.J. Barner is a fine pick up and play should you be waiting on George Skittle. My start of the week, I had this in before I got alerted to a weather situation.

25:55Mike Wright:This might be the one most okay. It could still work.

25:59Andy Holloway:Harold Fannin Jr. against the Miami Dolphins. Look, David Njoku seems like he might miss. And might be traded. I have not seen those. David Njoku. There's trade rumors for David Njoku right now. Even more of a reason to go pick up Fannin. Absolutely. If he doesn't have to split any of that tight end pie, then he should be seeing a bunch of targets. But I like him this week. Miami's tied for the fourth, allowing the fourth most receptions to the tight end position.

26:28Mike Wright:With Njoku, he's on pace for over 105 targets on the year. Harold Fannin. And the average up the target for him with Dylan Gabriel. I mean, He passed it 52 times, and I think there were three that went 10 or more yards. He's built for wind games.

26:42Andy Holloway:Right. They use him short. These aren't deep routes, so even if you get to Sunday and it's windy but it's not these catastrophic hellscape of winds, then you're going to be fine.

26:56Jason Moore:It is really worth noting. You have to tune in to Sunday Live with Mike an hour before kickoff because when we're talking on a Thursday about the weather, it can look catastrophic and it can really be okay. And it can be the opposite. There could be a different game where it's like, oh, Chicago looks okay, and then it turns out. Yeah, Chicago is on the radar of caution. Man, nothing I like talking about more than weather. Yeah. It's what makes fantasy fun. It's what makes the NFL fun. It's what makes it a real man's game.

27:28Mike Wright:if you put a roof on everyone we cannot have some games forecasted with a tornado like we do this week do you realize that i do i did not well it is a no that's the tornado oh okay i would actually

27:42Andy Holloway:say a tornado even with a roof is a pretty big problem that's fair that's fair yeah the roof is not really going to stop the roof might be a bigger problem to be honest oh great idea sub terrain stadiums. You guys would love that.

27:59Mike Wright:Don't even put the lights on. How are you going to see? I'm definitely going to need the lights.

28:03Jason Moore:We can put electricity down. That's not out of the realm of company. Why would you say something so stupid?

28:09Mike Wright:I don't like bad weather. I like some weather. I like the open skies. Yeah.

28:14Jason Moore:We are team retractable roof. It's just easier to say team don't. Yeah.

28:18Mike Wright:Retractable roof is where it's at. Yeah. If you're going to push, I'm going underground.

28:22Jason Moore:Yeah. I will too. I will too. I'll be there with you. But the light's on, Mike. It would be the world's most expensive stadium ever built.

28:30Mike Wright:Yeah, because that's called a hard dig.

28:32Andy Holloway:Yeah. Oh, you hit that caliche? All right. They're going to tell you it's not there. And then you're going to... We know rocks. That's an Arizona joke.

30:09Mike Wright:All right, it's week seven. Let's talk about it.

30:15Mike Wright:Fantasy Forecast, presented by PrizePix.

30:21Mike Wright:Texans and Vikings coming back off the bye. Bills and Ravens going to the bye. Lamar Jackson getting healthy. Hopefully the Bills' defense as well. I do want to pan over to Deucer's Alley for a moment. I know Al's probably hard at work over there, but I need a first reaction. You've had Justin Jefferson for a while. He was part of your championship team last year. He's Justin Jefferson. Yes, sir. First few moments knowing he's not a member of your team. How does that feel? Do you feel settled? Are you comfortable with this trade? No. I think it was fine.

30:52Jason Moore:But it sounds like you don't really like that you traded Justin Jefferson to a potential champion. I can see it going both ways. So I'm just going to hang out here on the fence.

31:02Mike Wright:Well, you see, you were half of it. Yeah. Do you? I mean, he's not. Was he going to be your franchise player? He was. And now? Garrett Wilson will be. Okay. Oh, man. For a two. Kyron Harvey and McBride will be my keepers. Yeah.

31:17Andy Holloway:So he's got another guy for his lotto now, though.

31:20Mike Wright:Okay. That is correct. That was part of it.

31:23Jason Moore:I only had a franchise and two keepers prior to this trade. And so now it filled out my keeper situation. Man, I can't believe you got that.

31:30Mike Wright:Mike is dangerous. Mike is dangerous. You got it. He acted like he was. Yesterday, he was just like, oh, everybody's trading there. twos away they're threes away and i i'm feeling really good even if things go bad i don't have you know i get to the trade all my picks i got the trade deadline and then he struck

31:45Jason Moore:like a tornado at a football game jefferson you for a two you strike because you can't usually

31:50Mike Wright:get that done uh let's go to london again the rams four and two jacksonville four and two jacksonville just basically lives in london every year vegas line los angeles minus three over under 44 and a half uh jacksonville lost last week the rams lost puka nakua last week the start sit in this game does feel fairly straightforward i guess the debates are around some of the peripheral flex options brian thomas had the big bounce back last week almost had two touchdowns still went eight for 90 and and one devante adams and brian thomas locks right kyron williams

32:28Andy Holloway:he's a lock yeah and you have blake quorum did not practice on wednesday with an ankle injury uh i mean it's six opportunities per game but if kyron gets four more yeah i mean we've

32:41Jason Moore:seen kyron last year get 90 snaps he can do it yeah he can do it and he'll be great doing that this has not been an easy team to run on on both sides of the ball here you got travis etienne and Blake Corum, who are looking like true workhorses for their teams. Workhorses. Workhorses. Warhorse. Corum gets more touchdowns. ETN gets more passes. They're looking like warhorses?

33:03Andy Holloway:No, that's a Conan O 'Brien joke.

33:06Jason Moore:Clip, clop, cloppity clue. But neither one of these guys has an easy matchup here. So I'm not, I mean, Kyron is like locked in, but I'm not very bullish on ETN in this matchup.

33:19Mike Wright:I'm going to make a statement that I don't feel is very safe, but I do believe in. I think you want to trade for Travis Hunter. Wow.

33:32Jason Moore:Okay. I didn't see that coming.

33:35Mike Wright:I think that you're going to see it get a lot better a lot faster than you might imagine. He played 78 % of snaps after a week of 67 % of snaps, then 56 % before that. The work is going up. Liam Cohen came out this week and he said, Duval. But he also said that he wanted to draw more first read plays for Travis Hunter. You got to understand this is an acclimation process. This is a guy that they, I think, have tried to split the fence on. But when you don't get the practice time you need sufficiently on one side of the football, I do expect it to come along slower. You saw the big play two weeks ago.

34:16Mike Wright:Last week wasn't good, but the snap counts went up. The targets went up, and it's what I believe. I just believe that Travis Hunter might become a bona fide flex play every week. The question for that then, Andy, is this week he plays the Rams.

34:34Andy Holloway:They are currently eighth against fantasy wide receivers. So the matchup is already really tough. Next week is the bye week for Jacksonville. I can definitely see after the bye week Travis Hunter really seeing an uptick. And maybe that's your moment.

34:50Mike Wright:I just worry about the big game coming.

34:52Andy Holloway:He's probably dirt cheap right now, but after this week, if he has another dud and then has the bye week, he'll be on the way to wire.

34:58Jason Moore:I was just going to say, if he has a bad week this week, he will be dropped by everybody because they don't want to hold a guy who is currently on pace for 500 yards, has not had a single decent game, and then is going into a bye. You're going to drop him, but that might be the right time to scoop him up.

35:16Andy Holloway:So the replacement guys over here.

35:18Mike Wright:He made one big catch that won a matchup for Jason over me. Thank you, Travis Hunter.

35:24Andy Holloway:Thank you, Andy, for trading me, Travis Hunter. The replacement guys of Jordan Whittington, who played 92 % of the snaps, Tutu Atwell, was limited with the hamstring. But we know that Tutu has just made so much money in the NFL, and he keeps sticking around on the Rams. And honestly, when they find themselves depleted. He's one-touch man.

35:45Mike Wright:two two one touch two two just he can show up so are you have two two and tootin in the same game is that right that's a lot of two two two tootin that just seems like the kind of thing we'd focus

35:57Andy Holloway:on but but so it like the ram or i'm sorry the jags are you have to beat them through the air do you have any interest in the replacement of whittington or two two do you feel strong about

36:09Mike Wright:one or the other whittington is the one that i would definitely play over two two two you're waiting for a bigger play I think Whittington you're going to see almost 100 % of the snaps so it's what yes you should you know that is to me very interesting yeah Whittington should be okay

36:24Jason Moore:I I do have like the the little worries in the back of the mind of just being this London international game that so often produces a dud overall um but Whittington would be the guy ahead

36:36Mike Wright:of ahead of Atwell for me New Orleans one and five taking on the above 500 at this point in the season for the first time in a while or so it seems, but we'll see if it keeps going. Chicago Bears, who are 3-2. The Vegas line, Chicago minus 4.5. The over-under is 46.5.

36:55Mike Wright:The Dennis Allen revenge game we've been waiting for. You get the defensive coordinator of the Bears, who was the former head coach of the Saints, who Jason loved, just loved him.

37:04Jason Moore:I just thought he was a really solid head coach who built up his team and wasn't just, you know. Like demoralizing them? Demoralizing. Oh, man.

37:15Andy Holloway:I don't know if he ever hit one of them. Kendre Miller. Oh, Kendre Miller. Kendre Miller will be playing with the fire of a thousand suns. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, man.

37:28Jason Moore:This is true revenge for Kendre. It is worth noting. I know we talked a lot about the game in Cleveland with the Dolphins and the Browns being a bad wind and a bad weather game, potentially. this is another one that has the potential to be 20 mile an hour winds uh you know rain right now it's projected just before the game but this could be a bad a bad weather game which when those winds get above 15 miles an hour especially if they're above 20 that's where you see more work going to the running game and less work in the in the passing game caleb williams is the quarterback

38:00Mike Wright:seven so far in fancy points per game deandre swift had the monster week last week 14 for 108 you had Roma Dunze who he had his first kind of down week had the touchdown called back you know you're kind of on lookout for what's going on with DJ Moore this week does that give Luther Burden more opportunities in the offense who is still running behind Mr. Zaccheaus in snaps and routes I I have this simultaneous like will it won't it happen with Luther Burden sometimes I want to believe the dj more injury could lead to more work he's a really good player that i like it's just a matter of how consistent it could be for luther burden i think i'm very hopeful i'm

38:45Andy Holloway:optimistic here for for luther burden to to get it going as the on the second half of the season

38:51Mike Wright:chris olave was limited alvin camara limited or actually he didn't practice on wednesday but that's alvin camara chris olave limited on wednesday with a hip injury he is leading all wide receivers in expected fantasy points per game expected fancy points per game eh whatever that's kind of a product of the actual so um juan johnson we're kind of done there colson loveland just keep an eye on him but he you know he finally overtook commit in routes he's getting healthier are there questions on this start sit situation i mean this game question is like

39:25Andy Holloway:there's a lot it's just based off of of bye weeks and injuries um is Kendra Miller playable though I mean the Bears you can beat them on the ground he has seen 39 percent of the snaps

39:38Jason Moore:uh the past two weeks he can be a DFS dart throw because you don't expect people to play him and and whatnot and he'll be he'll be cheap but I can't imagine in most leagues that you're gonna put someone in not getting enough work I mean the matchup is there and the revenge is there and all that so you you can see kind of the narrative for it happening but throwing him into a starting lineup right now it feels like you've got to have more options more options guaranteed for

40:04Mike Wright:opportunities so i tried to take advantage of mike's trading mood during the show yeah what did you offer and i sent him an offer i thought it was a good one ramon it was i counted i had to

40:14Andy Holloway:push back he did counter it it was it was i'm thinking about i get ramondre yeah and andy gets a third round pick yeah oh i countered with i get ramondre and the remainder of andy's fab and he doesn't get anything uh so which i'm considering to be honest it seems maybe reasonable gotcha

40:32Jason Moore:so for him to be allowed to release ramondre yes you must pay me he's got to give you fab

40:37Mike Wright:so i'll put him on my roster doing some live trading here on the show miami cleveland the wind will howl in Cleveland both one and five teams so the wind is already howling in locker rooms for these two franchises you had to come and apologize for all of his comments from last week um Kyle was very fascinated to find out this is the first time in 19 years that two left-handed quarterbacks will start in NFL games each other oh what Jason finds left-handed throwing gross so ugly i got great things it doesn't yeah if they're both left-handed you can

41:16Andy Holloway:just watch this game in a mirror i will do that and and everything is okay that's great man thank you if just one of them is then you gotta then i'm just switching teams just watch backwards

41:29Jason Moore:no that's great man thank you i i don't i don't like it this shouldn't be allowed why does it

41:34Mike Wright:weird you out you're left-handed i know that's the best part yeah i mean he's gross then you're

41:40Andy Holloway:gross i am just self-loathing left-hander yeah dylan gabriel to a tongue of iloa the matchup we

41:45Mike Wright:never really wanted cleveland minus two and a half favored at home over under just 39 and a half i had shared this morning and i will go and find the direct quote so that i am yeah andy slater had tweeted they could have 50 to 60 mile an hour wind gusts national weather service says this is a system worth keeping an eye on as a stronger storm may materialize in the Current forecast, 94 % chance of rain, 36-mile-an-hour gusts, 65 degrees.

42:15Jason Moore:I don't know who that is. The sources that I usually look at are not having it be that high, but it certainly is. I mean, this is just you put the red flag up to make sure you come back and look at this, that you're prepared for pivot options. Yeah, just be ready. Things change.

42:31Mike Wright:Weather changes. Devon HN, RB4 on the season. He's been great. Judd Kin, start of the week, bounce-back week, in my opinion, with the matchup the the bigger question marks you don't play pass catchers for cleveland you just don't do that unless it's harold fanon and the tight end position is different and he could

42:51Jason Moore:be fine yeah that i agree it makes it very very easy it's judkins and and a potential fanon on the cleveland side do you realize how many targets jerry judy got last week how what have we talked about these cleveland brown no no i just want you to know i don't

43:07Mike Wright:If you've asked Jason a thousand times, targets don't matter. That's what he says.

43:12Andy Holloway:He turned 13 targets into 43 receiving yards. That's impressive work.

43:18Mike Wright:I couldn't do that. Good grief, man. No, you couldn't. Yeah. We have Darren Waller. Four receiving touchdowns in three games. We're feeling... How are we feeling?

43:31Jason Moore:So I have Darren Waller. I made that trade to acquire him as my attempt to fix my tight end position because of the weather and a good Cleveland Browns team. I picked up Meowson Taylor, your start of the week. And so I've got a real decision coming down on that will probably not be made until Sunday. As of right now, Darren Waller's in the game. If the, you know, if the weather goes really, really bad that morning and it looks like, wow, it's going to be so hard to throw in this. then I will pivot off of Darren Waller.

44:05Andy Holloway:And to comfort people out there with Darren Waller, because it was only two for 12, he did have the touchdown, so it wasn't horrifically bad. But the snaps were up again. Very nice. So, yeah, he was at the 69 percentile of the snaps. So it's like he is still ramping up. The ramp is endless for Darren Waller.

44:25Mike Wright:No, this ramp is a long ramp, very comfortable to walk on. This is not some very – Yeah, it's a smooth grade. Yeah, the grade is – No, walking sticks. Imperceivable. A handrail? Not on this ramp. No, no, no. You don't need it. New England, 4-2. The Titans, 1-5 Vegas line. New England, minus 7 on the road. Over-unders, 42.5. Also have some rain and wind chance in this one. Mike McCoy taking over the Titans. Oh, boy. I really want Cam Ward to look better than he does. But he doesn't look good.

44:59Andy Holloway:No, it does not look good.

45:01Mike Wright:and so you know seven and a half point home favorites is where you end up with the way this offense is playing you know it's kind of getting messier i think in tennessee because it's an offense you don't love but now you have a backfield that is going to be shared tajay spears played 59 of the snaps last week tony pollard just 43 so now you have to split like tony pollard is at least this solid 10 points due to volume calvin ridley didn't practice not likely to play in this one maybe you start to pay attention to chigakonko a little bit but you can't trust this offense so i had brought up elec ioman or maybe he's the number one target still not trustworthy there are a lot of players on the other side of the ball i'd feel way better playing like kashaun booty last week who took advantage of the you know stefan diggs kind of you know they played the slot really well and booty took advantage scored twice um would you play booty would you play Sterling Shepard with no Abuka and no...

46:00Mike Wright:I think I'd play... Are you just saying over Titans? No, no, no. I'm sorry. I'm saying Kayshawn Booty or Sterling Shepard.

46:06Andy Holloway:Oh, okay. I got you.

46:09Mike Wright:With no Booty, no Godwin. Or sorry, no Abuka, no Godwin.

46:14Andy Holloway:I'd be tracking the Mike Evans news. If Mike Evans... Let's see. If Mike Evans plays, would I play Shepard over Booty? I I know I would chase the fire Give me three words

46:30Mike Wright:Three words to describe your current feelings on Travion Henderson Three words Either of you can contribute to the pile Frustrated with talent Frustrated with talent so yours is more of a sentence With was one of your words Mike Vrabel Eat doo doo

46:52Jason Moore:I had two other words I had two other words there

46:58Mike Wright:Hence the boss Had to cycle through the Rolodex real quick Ramondre Stevenson Led the team In Or led his season high in snaps Last week 72 % The Titans are 30th against running backs this year If you had to start Travion or Ramondre you're playing Ramondre With that snap count Yeah, I think you have to right now.

47:24Jason Moore:I mean, you have to pick one of them. Hal, did you have some words?

47:27Andy Holloway:You don't have to.

47:28Jason Moore:I just can't imagine playing someone that is getting in the 30 % of snaps over the person playing 70 % of snaps, even if the person behind him is more efficient, which they are.

47:39Andy Holloway:Also scored more fantasy points last week.

47:41Jason Moore:I mean, who's going to get the opportunities if they're around the goal line? Ramondre, probably. Right. And so, yeah, I would play Ramondre or Treviar.

47:50Andy Holloway:Both are difficult plays. I think I'd still play Henderson.

47:56Jason Moore:You're going to get some value at the running back position against the Tennessee Titans. I mean, they are down in the vast majority of their snaps. The second half, it doesn't matter if they've got a good defensive line or not, which theirs isn't the worst in the league, but they get worn out. The other team's going to run a ton. And when you run a ton, that to me says it's a remandre game, not a Henderson game now if it's a blowout I'm with you on that I think that that's what's going to happen I could see a world where if it's a blowout all of a sudden hey let's get Henderson more work at the end but um you know I I have personally I took the uh first week coach bump against the spread which at the time was seven and a half points so I don't see it being a blowout

48:41Mike Wright:that's where I'm on the Ramondre side all right um you know if you need to start Hunter Henry's always someone you could take a look at but it's not been great he's the tight end nine on the season if he catches a touchdown you're happy which is basically all the tight ends but the matchup is not there no and drake may it's been great drake may is playing very very well completing 73 of his passes 20 plus yards down the field which is wild because the league average is 40 and you love that you love that they can trust him to go downfield it's going to be uh it's going to be a game that I think is not close.

49:15Andy Holloway:Yeah. May is currently the quarterback six. He's been excellent.

49:19Mike Wright:Yeah. He's one of the, you know, there were some names in the off season, those later round picks that you were looking at saying, you know, you take the shot here and there, and he's been one that's worked out. So we'll take a break and we'll jump into some more matchups.

51:48Mike Wright:the las vegas raiders at two and four take on the kansas city chiefs at three and three

51:56Andy Holloway:Something going on behind the scenes? Maybe.

52:00Mike Wright:I just know Jason's just kind of.

52:03Andy Holloway:Are we still trading?

52:05Mike Wright:Jason's just kind of got this look on his face. He's mentally working through some things. I am. I don't know. Lock in, man. Remember yesterday when we thought something really dangerous was happening and he's on his phone and we're like, is the family okay?

52:19Jason Moore:He was just betting on Caleb Johnson to score a touchdown. Priorities matter, man.

52:25Andy Holloway:Oh, it was great. It was great. Are we going to have to pause the show? Yeah, is everything all right? Yeah. But he got the bet in.

52:31Jason Moore:My family's okay right now. I think. I don't know. I haven't heard from him forever. But that's probably a good sign, right? If you haven't heard anything forever. Yeah, no news is good news. No news is good news here. No news is good news.

52:47Mike Wright:I can't find them. All right. The Raiders, 2-4. The Chiefs, 3-3. the Chiefs 11.5 point favorites. Over-unders 45.5. In the games in which the Chiefs have been double-digit favorites, which is 29 times in the Mahomes era, they are 26 and 3 with two of those losses coming against the Raiders. Divisional matchup. So do you want to get a quick bet in on the Raiders then? Moneyline?

53:18Jason Moore:No. No, thank you. I do believe I picked the Raiders to cover, but I certainly wouldn't put money on it. The Kansas City Chiefs have looked awesome. They're getting Rushy Rice back. The defense is playing well. Mahomes is playing outstanding. He's running the ball so much. He's obviously a must start right now. He's the quarterback one on the season. He's on pace for 4 ,300 yards passing, 32 passing touchdowns, and 630 rushing yards. Now, I am curious, and this will be telling, like, a lot of his rushing attempts come because I feel like he has nobody to throw the ball to on a lot of the plays.

53:58Jason Moore:Yeah, seems like it. And now he's got rushy rice. So it's like, does this make the Chiefs better and Mahomes worse for fantasy? Because instead of rushing yards, it's like, oh, you know. It's rushy yards instead of rushing yards? Yeah, exactly. Rushy yards are worth less.

54:12Mike Wright:It's an interesting thought, and it might hold true. Although he is, you know, the passing touchdowns could go up, having more weapons. He's on pace for 4 ,300 yards right now. But he had never hit 400 in a season. Wow, and he's on pace for 630. Wow. Rachi Rice, your start of the week. Where does that put the other guys in the receiving room?

54:34Andy Holloway:Worthy is still startable. The other guys, it will be the ancillary. One of them might do something, nothing predictable. I wouldn't be chasing it. uh kelsey i think remains who he has been which is it's okay it's it's a decent tight end play the running backs i think are what's interesting here of with rice back with an 11 and a half point being favored i think that they like kareem hunt could be playable of you know you ever you got to pick your spots here but predicting game script can make you look like a buffoon a lot of the time i don't think it will here i think that the chiefs are going to smoke the the raiders here which put put could put kareem hunt in line for like a bunch of second half work of just run out

55:28Mike Wright:the clock you have ashton jenty sitting at the rb 11 on this season with a 19 target share the last two weeks that's what we need talk about what happened to jacoby myers well you got 20 of your target's going to the running back position now and it's worth it for this team in this offense

55:43Jason Moore:yeah I mean this is what you want to see you know we complained after three weeks and and we as fantasy community with the utilization the workload because it was deserved that was when we had gente as one of our trade for candidates and since then he's had 23 opportunities opportunities 21 opportunities 27 opportunities he is necessary if this team wants to do anything so he's obviously going to be started but i think he will should be very good pretty much rest of the season and

56:13Mike Wright:bench the rest of the pass catchers right no jacoby no tucker no bash no bowers is gonna

56:18Jason Moore:play i won't even play but no what about mayor mayor is is potential like that could be a pivot if the weather is super bad elsewhere um mayor last week targeted on 35 of his routes and you know he's he's a good tight end in his own right like he was drafted in the second round he was uh you know he was in a weaker tight end class but he was one of the you know at least two best in that class and then they went the next year and got Brock Bowers and so Michael Mayer disappeared well in the game we only had one game because uh Mayer was missing with a concussion when Bowers went out last week was the first time we saw Mayer and no Bowers he had five for 50 and a touchdown so I think he is in that you know break glass in case of emergency do you like meowson or mayor meowson is all alone at least here mayor well he doesn't have bowers he still

57:10Mike Wright:has myers and trey tucker and jack bash and yeah but he didn't meowson has um justin fields

57:20Jason Moore:okay michael mayor has uh gino's we can do this forever this all day it's a good counter and pay

57:27Mike Wright:attention travis kelsey averaged two receptions fewer per game when rice was a full-time player

57:32Jason Moore:So I have moved him down in my rankings, and he's still at the point where you're pretty much going to have to start him. But he scares the tarnation out of me because what we saw in the three games with Rice last year was a 14 % target share. It was unusability from Travis Kelsey. They work in the same area of the field. And so my eyes, he's going to be in my lineup. My eyes are going to be all over Travis Kelsey. If he comes out and has a dud, I will be, you know, if I have Travis Kelsey, I'm looking to pick up someone in case his season is kaput with Rice in place.

58:05Mike Wright:The Eagles are 4-2. Minnesota's 3-2. The game's in Minnesota. The Eagles 1.5-point road favorites. The over-under is 43.5. The Vikings coming off the bye week. Eagles currently two straight wins. Or, sorry, two straight losses. That's very different. Those are different. you know, the Eagles reeling a little bit. It doesn't take much to make the entire Eagles, like the media storylines in Philadelphia, terrible. Like you just won a championship. You're foreign to everything. The sky is falling situation. You got to remember last year, they didn't look great in the first half of the year. Yeah.

58:45Andy Holloway:But this is a team that can get it going.

58:47Mike Wright:The Eagles defense last week, it was no Jalen Carter, right? And that was part of the key to scatter boom. Yes, it was. touchdowns definitely but on the year the eagles 26th and rushing yards allowed it leads to your jordan mason start um we have you know jalen hurts v carson wins probably

59:11Andy Holloway:yeah you're saying probably as in yeah oh no jj mccarthy yeah it will be carson wins this week

59:16Jason Moore:jj mccarthy will play you know again this season carson wins isn't going to hold the job over him I can't imagine that world happening.

59:23Andy Holloway:His ankle is just not good. I mean, there was all the – it was him talking about it yesterday, about his ankle saying the ankle is getting there. I wouldn't say it's 100 % right now. So they're going to – they will wait.

59:36Jason Moore:When you say selfishly, I want to play, but we have to be smart here, that says I'm not playing.

59:41Mike Wright:Yeah, that means the smart thing is not playing. Right. So if he plays, it's like, I'm doing the dumb thing. Yeah, I was going to say, if he had said selfishly, I want to play, but we have to be dumb here, I would expect him on the field. Yeah. Saquon Barkley just averaging 52 yards rushing per game, third fewest rushing yards per game by a reigning rushing leader since the merger. So the, the, the big concern in the off season, which look, it was a terrible and scary thing to utter when you have a season like that was like the cumulative effect of 400 plus opportunities on the way to a Superbowl.

1:00:14Mike Wright:Statistically speaking, doesn't lend itself towards a huge season the next year. That's a tough, unrepeatable career-making season that's it's a hard thing to do it doesn't mean he can't get it going doesn't mean that he can't cruise into the playoffs but right now it's not been a good ride for Saquon and are you adjusting him tier-wise in your mind when it comes to trades um tier-wise

1:00:36Jason Moore:from where you drafted him like I would James Cook no I don't think so I would still be on the the Saquon side but you know I would certainly be on the Jonathan Taylor side like it you know in draft day you everyone took Saquon well ahead of of Jonathan Taylor and and that adjustment has been made um but I still believe like he hasn't looked bad and that's the difference is sometimes you you watch these players after these massive workload years and they kind of fall off they they don't break tackles they don't look great you know the last two weeks five yards of carry 4.8 yards of carry he had a 58 yards receiving two weeks ago he he doesn't look bad to me now their offensive line isn't as strong as it was last year.

1:01:20Jason Moore:They've had an injury to their guard, and the team's offense is not creative. It is hurt without Kellen Moore, but I also think this is a obviously is a well-coached team from the top. They have been in the Super Bowl two of the last three years. If you look at Super Bowl odds, they're not being looked at as some bad team. So, you know, I'm not concerned with Saquon as like a, I think he's a running back two rest of season.

1:01:49Andy Holloway:You're getting Saquon, but you haven't gotten a big play yet. His long on the ground this year was this past week at 18 yards.

1:01:58Mike Wright:But he had six of those last year, six like 40-plus yard touchdowns or something like that?

1:02:02Andy Holloway:He doesn't have a 20-yard run yet.

1:02:04Mike Wright:Yeah, that's the difference. And those are hard to repeat. Yeah, yeah. They just are. Mike, any thoughts on Justin Jefferson?

1:02:11Andy Holloway:I like him a lot I like that he's on my Oh I'm muted

1:02:16Jason Moore:Oh what happened Mike where'd you go Help me Oh I'm standing on your mic Oh Jason We're looking over to the producers And Al just points right at Jason You put your mute button in my radio You want to talk about your stupid Justin Jefferson Jeremy We got to talk about our friendship after the show Because it's on tonight We do too Jeremy

1:02:39Andy Holloway:new best friends we are we are great friends um who's facetiming each other tune in monday to the spitball yeah um the thing we went after jefferson because what i mean number one he's just jefferson of course you want him on your team but it's the the rest of ski the rest of season wide receiver schedule is number one is minnesota oh gosh you It was an aggressive play. Well, Jason didn't think it was aggressive. I felt it was to go after not just a great player, but go after a schedule run here at the end.

1:03:16Mike Wright:A cakewalk of a playoff schedule.

1:03:18Andy Holloway:Yeah.

1:03:19Mike Wright:Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Perfect. Perfect. He's happy. Jason's happy.

1:03:25Andy Holloway:You knew I was going to go in at some point.

1:03:28Jason Moore:I didn't think you would be able to acquire the best wide receiver in football. with a second rounder. I mean, it's rare for that. Usually when those grab in our league, usually when those grab a player of that caliber, it's because they're in. It's a Malik Nabors. It's like you don't get them. No, those are for a four. Yeah.

1:03:49Andy Holloway:Maybe you've got to learn how to trade. I guess so, man.

1:03:51Mike Wright:Jabers, you can get them every day for a four straight up. But you do have TJ Hawkinson now. TJ Hawkinson. Oh, did we make a trade? Just one target inside the 10 this year.

1:04:03Andy Holloway:tj hargans i see you're jefferson and i raise you a tj hawkins i gotta make moves you know

1:04:08Jason Moore:if you're if you're over here getting justin jefferson oh yeah viking for viking yeah you don't want to know what tj hawkinson's target's gonna go way up when jefferson goes down oh come

1:04:18Mike Wright:on now oh watch out yeah be careful now he's fighting with injuries let's not do that um we like jefferson you play him yeah aj brown davante smith the target share has been amazing for A.J. Brown. I still think it's going to work out fine.

1:04:32Andy Holloway:I do too, man. I think A.J. Brown is someone to trade for. It's been horrifically bad. He may have already been traded in your league, and I still think it might be worth going after him.

1:04:44Jason Moore:Really tough matchup this week. You know, the Vikings, they are number one on fewest fantasy points given up to the wide receiver position, including number one if you adjust for schedule and who they've played. so it doesn't look like like this is the Vikings are more of a run funnel yeah so it seems more like a Saquon game than uh AJ Brown or Devontae Smith not that you're not going to play those guys I mean Devontae Smith is probably on the bubble where you're looking at your other options and you say okay I agree you know with Josh Downs if he doesn't play would I go Pittman or Devontae Smith I'd probably go Pittman without I agree what about the uh freaking Dallas well

1:05:25Mike Wright:I was going to say, the two weirdest tight ends on the season are Dalton Kincaid and Dallas Goddard. Because they are players that keep performing that no one believes in. Goddard has been the number one tight end two of three weeks. And it's not like the week he didn't do that. He still scored 9.4 points. His last three weeks have been...

1:05:43Jason Moore:And to be honest, which we've talked about the touchdowns bailing him out, or not bailing him out, but amplifying what he's done, he has had seven or more targets which is an outstanding number for a tight end

1:05:56Mike Wright:in three of his five games played which is a product i mean we have a different offensive system and coordinator like maybe this is more something to buy into is all i'm saying yeah i

1:06:06Jason Moore:don't mind that at all i i almost i was kicking myself last week because i almost picked him up and started him in efforts but he played early in the week and i lost out on his massive game

1:06:17Mike Wright:Carolina 3-3, New York 0-6 The Jets The Jets? The Jets Did I put an S in there? No, you put an extra T

1:06:28Jason Moore:Like Jester Like Jettus

1:06:31Mike Wright:Like 0-6 and lost their best offensive player In Garrett Wilson They have you right where they want you Not believing I don't believe They are only one and a half point home underdogs To Carolina

1:06:47Andy Holloway:home under they opened his favorites so that has moved yeah maybe the uh the knowledge that

1:06:54Mike Wright:josh reynolds would also miss their only productive wide receiver from last week at all that caught a couple passes i mean you didn't even have alan lazard play last week it was harian smith rookie doesn't matter alan lazard did not play it was personal um oh that's right yeah yeah wasn't injury but he didn't he didn't play and so no no garrett wilson no josh reynolds breeze hall is he tweeting free 20 he may get traded at some point soon could uh mason taylor that's you know that's the one guy you can take the shot on i did mason

1:07:28Andy Holloway:taylor's gonna get a lot of targets and in the i have seen the uh comments upon the incredible social media post of of me saying weird things about mason taylor that i didn't actually say by our own team yes by our own team and i mean the comments shockingly very negative for a team that that put up the game they put up last week but but that was last week this is a much different situation justin fields for how awful he can be he can also be excellent and complete a bunch of

1:08:01Mike Wright:passes the previous week 12 targets nine catches 67 yards for mason taylor five for 65 the week before with a 27 yard catch exactly still hasn't gotten into the end zone that's always possible for a tight end well that's a dog zone okay so i don't i don't know if mason's allowed yeah me allison yeah yeah he may be the perfect start oh yes oh we're back you never know rico daddle please play him yeah you gotta keep doing it tedaroa mcmillan i i play him man i still worry

1:08:33Jason Moore:Do you have some doubt, Joel? If Chuba is active, I'm going to take a look at who I have on my roster. Oh, my gosh. I mean, if Rico Dattle ends up with 50 % of the work, this is a good defense you're playing against. The Jets' only chance in this game. Let's not call it that. It will be malpractice. It should be.

1:08:51Andy Holloway:It is a defense. Malpractice? No. I'm not doing puns right now. I'm saying it will be malpractice by the Carolina Panthers to not give Rico another go at it.

1:09:04Mike Wright:There is a big gap between 30 and 31 points, which is what he's done, to irrelevance. Almost 400 rushing yards the past two weeks. I would bet you – okay, I'll make you a bet. I'll bet you 12 fantasy points or more, Rico Dowdle. I'll bet you$100.

1:09:22Jason Moore:Half PPR?

1:09:23Mike Wright:Yes, half PPR. Yeah, the only format.

1:09:25Jason Moore:Yeah, thank you, Mike. It needs to be said. We haven't said it enough. That's only if Chuba's playing. No, I mean, obviously, if Chuba's not playing, I'd love Rico this week. Yeah, sure.

1:09:37Mike Wright:Sure. If Chuba's playing.

1:09:38Jason Moore:All right. I'll take less than 12 and a half. Okay. Okay.

1:09:45Mike Wright:I set the line at 12. That's the bet. Well, I won't take that. Okay. All right. There's a true meow right there. All right, Ted McMillan, you can play it. yeah um justin fields is the roll the dice and find out do you get three number three number

1:10:00Andy Holloway:six number eight or number 35 number 30 i i mean look caroline is the matchup is yeah the matchup is not scary but the fact that wide receivers yeah and garrett wilson once garrett wilson is

1:10:15Mike Wright:back then i will be comfortable i'm gonna go bench i'm gonna go bench yeah like i'm i'm deciding

1:10:21Andy Holloway:between my every week is Bo Nix or Justin Fields this will be Bo Nix.

1:10:26Jason Moore:Feels like Justin Fields in this game is going to have 80 rushing yards and a bad fantasy game which is darn near impossible.

1:10:33Andy Holloway:Yeah I mean that that is the other side of just he he goes old Chicago Bears Justin Fields. Because he doesn't have people to throw to. Yeah and he just he gets over 100 rushing yards.

1:10:42Jason Moore:Brees Hall how about we throw him the ball one time. Brees is going to get a ton of targets in this game. He's going to get all the workload like he he'll be focused on by the defense but I think Brees Hall's a great play this week.
