Andy Holloway
Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers podcast with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright.
Jason Moore
Welcome in.
Mike Wright
It's the sort of football time.
Jason Moore
The sorta's the Patriots.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Jason Moore
I get it now.
Mike Wright
I guess I could have gone with.
Jason Moore
Hendo time, but I think that people will be mad you didn't.
Mike Wright
It's endo time. I mean, serious.
Andy Holloway
What? Yes, it is.
Mike Wright
Other it is then the Dynasty nerds like me who are like, heck yeah, Kyle Williams. Let's see some snapshot. Like what?
Jason Moore
I mean, it feels.
Mike Wright
I mean, I guess they're Drake May. Okay, yeah.
Andy Holloway
Drake May himself.
Mike Wright
I don't have Drake May on any team, so I'm blinded tonight.
Jason Moore
Feels like.
Mike Wright
I know that's very dumb.
Jason Moore
If. If Trayvon was part of an ensemble of greatness last Sunday, which he was the H and Jonathan Taylor Gibbs. And then Trayvon had the big game tonight. Is him stepping forward from the chorus and yeah, Spotlight. He's got a solo tonight.
Mike Wright
Spotlight is on.
Jason Moore
We're not wanting to watch the jets play football. So I feel like while it's exciting, it is potentially terrifying.
Andy Holloway
There is expectation. Last week there was hope.
Jason Moore
Right.
Andy Holloway
You know, I mean, I know we tried forced it and we knew it was going to work.
Jason Moore
Right.
Andy Holloway
Obviously, that's why we tried force. We came together. The whole entire world now for tonight is expecting.
Mike Wright
Is this a global triforce?
Andy Holloway
I mean this is an all force. This is. Everyone is expecting him to be great and he's going to be.
Mike Wright
Oh that's what I like to hear.
Andy Holloway
It's going to work.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Andy's eyes got big because he's worried. Not worried. He's going to be very good tonight.
Jason Moore
All right sir.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Jason Moore's guarantee. Touchdown guarantee.
Andy Holloway
Just a great 15 fantasy points.
Mike Wright
You can be great without a half CPR guaranteed.
Jason Moore
All right. I'm more nervous, I'm excited. I just know he's. It's an isolated. You're on display.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Hopefully we see something great.
Andy Holloway
Well when have we ever had bad Thursday night football? I mean there's no way that we're.
Jason Moore
Disappointed to Carlin son. They were great last week.
Mike Wright
Kyle has just shared the Justin Fields passing yard prop for tonight.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
I is a staggering 129 and a half passing yards. Will he get it?
Andy Holloway
I was making my prize picks. He may not line up for this week. This morning I'm scrolling and I'm looking at passing yardage for all quarterbacks on the week for all quarterbacks and the one that I went with was really, really low. It was. I won't say who it is. It was like 223 passing. It was like I'm looking at everybody. 250, 270.
Mike Wright
200.
Andy Holloway
Oh, 223. That's. I like that projection. I'm going to go with that. And then there was Justin Fields at 100 like and then I. Of course I'm not going with that one. I would take the less.
Jason Moore
I mean if you look at the last four games for Justin Fields and you want to ask the question to yourself how bad is Cincinnati's defense?
Mike Wright
Yes.
Jason Moore
Here's a. Here's a. 54 passing yards against Cleveland. 46 passing yards against Carolina. 45 passing yards against Denver. 244 against Cincinnati. One of these things is not like the other and it's the Cincinnati defense.
Mike Wright
Three games sub 60 passing yards.
Jason Moore
That is an embarrassing.
Mike Wright
Have we ever seen that in the.
Jason Moore
Time of the show the term quarterback from somebody if they don't go over 60 passing years. Three out of four.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I'm fine with that.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. You're not a quarterback.
Jason Moore
He's a quarter of a quarterback yardage wise.
Andy Holloway
Okay.
Mike Wright
So he's like an eighth, eighth back. Yeah, he beat me to it, Mr. Man.
Jason Moore
Yeah, no, we figured it out. Yeah. Not not great. So Trayvon time. Let's just focus on that. I think the big news we. If we didn't say it, Ramondre is going to be out. So, I mean, this. This whole story is. It's contingent on Ramon Dre missing another game, which he is.
Mike Wright
We've got Brables so mad. He's looking at all the injuries. It's like, gosh darn it, fine, Henderson, you suck.
Jason Moore
I think he was happy with the last.
Andy Holloway
He was happy.
Mike Wright
Oh, he was happy with the production.
Andy Holloway
Vrabel's a great coach.
Jason Moore
The matchups.
Andy Holloway
Oh, real quick. I know we got a long show today and this is. We shouldn't. But I didn't. I wasn't with you guys, and I wanted to know what your thoughts were. I think I know the first and goal on the goal line where they took a knee when Vrabel basically.
Mike Wright
Oh. Because he was.
Andy Holloway
He wanted. He wanted to work the clock down. What was your thought? Because that's like. That's like what I would do. What I think the. That is a future generation is so dangerous.
Mike Wright
That's a very extreme version of. Of what I want. Guys like, you know when we complain about the Cardinals, it's because you've gotten inside the 20 and you're like, you need to burn some clock. And then they're. They're running screen passes. That's dumb. The. I admire it because it is playing to win. It is playing aggressively to win. It is not playing the defense while we have the ball.
Jason Moore
Yeah, I'm the. I'm the. I don't know if I would do it, but I think it's all revisionist history stuff when we criticize some of that goal line management of the clock. There are teams that desperately try to score four times in a row and can't on the goal line. It's called the goal line stand. It happens. And if you throw it down, away and then don't score, which I almost did. You're not just leaving yourself up. It's not just about the criticism, Right. Like the Sirianni throwing on fourth down criticism. I'm fine with coaches taking chances and having to face the media. It's just that it legitimately might be the worst thing you do. It could be a horrible decision.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. He almost left seven or at least three points.
Mike Wright
Like it took him perfect fourth down pass.
Jason Moore
I mean, I guess if you're confident. Like, it's funny because I think Dan Campbell would do it because he trusts his offensive line and his. In his team and his players and so maybe it makes sense in that regard. It's.
Andy Holloway
I just love to see it. It's what I've wanted to see forever. And I don't think I've ever seen.
Jason Moore
Someone do it where it's like, let's revisit this the first time it fails miserably. Sure. And see if you still feel that way.
Mike Wright
I will say I when I'm playing Madden. That's what I would do. Or I would.
Jason Moore
Because you don't want to give the other.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I mean, I may not take a knee, but I'll like do a handoff and intentionally not score.
Jason Moore
Part of it is, do you trust your defense?
Andy Holloway
You know what I mean?
Jason Moore
Like, you should be able. You should on a team be able to just try to score and then like have your defense stop the other team. That. That should be the way you play it. But. But. Yeah, we'll move on. Jointhefoot.com the community. You can check out the trade Analyzer, brand new, the advanced premium weekly rankings to start Sid Tool and a ton of other resources. JoinTheFoot.com is the community. We'd love to have you check that out. Let's talk some news.
Andy Holloway
News and notes from around the league presented by progressive ins.
Jason Moore
All right. We talked about it. Ramon Ray Stevenson, K Sham, Booty, both out tonight. Booty and Mike will be pants off watching Thursday Night Football.
Mike Wright
If any. If anyone on team Hendo has pants on tonight, you're removed from the club on team.
Jason Moore
The Team Hendo pants club.
Mike Wright
No, if you're just on team Hendo this we need to be free and you got to be ready for jump kicks at any moment.
Jason Moore
R.J. harvey, more opportunities.
Mike Wright
Jeans on. You're going to rip your pants.
Jason Moore
Stretchy jeans.
Mike Wright
Stretchy. Even stretchy jeans.
Jason Moore
Tearaway lineup like starting lineup.
Andy Holloway
Oh, there you go.
Mike Wright
Okay. That's some warmers. If you.
Andy Holloway
The buttons on the side.
Jason Moore
We start with pants on because then.
Mike Wright
You can't rip the pants off, right? Yeah, exactly. All right.
Jason Moore
And it's really embarrassing if he goes like 1 a carry for 10 carries and you have to put pants on during the game.
Andy Holloway
It feels bad.
Jason Moore
That doesn't feel good.
Andy Holloway
They're ripping them off. Yeah. That's joy.
Jason Moore
Sean Payton said RG Harvey will have more opportunities. And talk about the potential absence of J.K. dobbins.
Mike Wright
Do breaking news. Next man up gets more opportunities.
Andy Holloway
We're not going to hand the ball off to anyone.
Jason Moore
We have Tyler Bidet also going to be involved. Lamar Jackson. Oh, didn't practice on Wednesday. Knee soreness still expected to return today. You just don't like to see it after missing time. And Rashad Bateman had the ankle sprain that seemed like it's going to be multi weeks from what I've seen. Britain strange Brian Thomas Jr. Ltd. In Wednesday's practice. Not sure if either will play. This was good news. Arande Gadson, full participant on Wednesday's practice. We love it. This is what I was hoping for when it came across that it was a, you know a knee to knee impact situation. That's a contusion.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
A bruising and it seems like Gadson is going to play if you full practice on Wednesday. Sean McVeigh says he expects Devonte Adams to be ready for the Week 11 game against the Seahawks.
Andy Holloway
That's good.
Jason Moore
Good for the kind of magma hot fire Matthew Stafford situation.
Andy Holloway
I mean if you have Stafford, he was almost my start of the week like you should. You've got to stay in those flames. He's just been too good lately.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Brock Purdy expected to start in week 11 barring setbacks.
Mike Wright
Really? Really, really. Okay. Pretty good chance George.
Andy Holloway
I know. Oh George. Go get him.
Jason Moore
We have Bucky Irving spotted for the first time. They were both him and Godwin were listed as limited. It was a walk through. I saw the walking. Was it there was a little jog through. Was a good walk through, some jogging going on.
Mike Wright
Okay.
Jason Moore
I don't think Irving's back anytime. Like I think it's still maybe a couple weeks.
Andy Holloway
Do you see the comments back and forth between Baker and Josh Allen? That's the matchup this week. It's just so delightful. You just love those two guys. Baker was making fun of Josh Allen's height or maybe his own height and the disparity. Needs a walkie talkie to talk to him and said something like he wears two gloves and then they.
Jason Moore
And then he has tiny hands and.
Andy Holloway
Then he has tiny.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Mike Wright
Baker was saying.
Jason Moore
Josh Baker was saying that about Alan.
Andy Holloway
They're just talking.
Jason Moore
Allen said, well Baker's the kind of guy who wears two gloves golfing. So you know that about him.
Andy Holloway
I mean it's just like yes, yes. What does that even mean? It doesn't matter. They're just talking some trash.
Mike Wright
One glove a golf we the resident golfer on this the is somewhat in saying someone wears two gloves to golf is that really insulting?
Jason Moore
A little bit.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
I know one guy that he deserves the insults for wearing two gloves. He sweats a lot and and so you like like all your club and stuff. So yeah. I mean I Think of one glove. One glove is the go to.
Mike Wright
That feels like a.
Jason Moore
You don't see two glove golfers out there, man.
Andy Holloway
Just.
Mike Wright
It felt like an elitist joke.
Jason Moore
Bridgewater, he holds the wrong side of the paddle during his.
Mike Wright
Butler doesn't drive him to the range.
Jason Moore
C.J. stroud, concussion symptoms, not expected to play this week. Davis Mills going to stick his neck out for the team.
Mike Wright
Oh, man.
Jason Moore
That was Davis Mills.
Mike Wright
No problem seeing over the line?
Jason Moore
No, none at all.
Mike Wright
None at all.
Jason Moore
No. He is over it.
Andy Holloway
Hard to see the ground. Where are they down there?
Jason Moore
He's a brontosaurus. He's a brontosaurus. All right. That was news and notes sponsored by Progressive Insurance.

Andy Holloway
Starts of the week presented by Tostitos.
Jason Moore
Confidence plays for week 11. Jason, we'll let you kick it off.
Andy Holloway
I'm going with my guy Dak. He has not been good for a couple of weeks. Was on by whatever, some tough matchups, but he's going on the road in the dome in the. Going to play the Raiders road dome going to Vegas. They're coming off the buy. They've got one of the highest over unders on the week. 50 1/2 points. Dallas has a 27 point implied team total. And the Raiders match up really well with how Dak plays ball. They're playing zone coverage at the highest rate in the NFL, 84% of the time. And Dak against zone fifth and completion percentage fourth and touchdown passes first and sac rate. So it's a confidence play. I think that can be a top five guy this year in the dome against the zone. That's right.
Mike Wright
Zone against George and CD Lamb is like a mistake. Good luck. Good luck with that. And then Ferguson ripping the seam. Are you up or am I up?
Jason Moore
No, you can go ahead.
Mike Wright
All right. My start of the week at the quarterback position. Charlie and the chocolate factory. Cincinnati Bengals both loving Grandpa Joe. Both loving Grandpa Joe. We got four starts. You can go ahead and shake your head that joke ruled 4 starts for Flacco so far as a Bengal QB 15, 4, 8 and 2.
Jason Moore
I love jokes that I have to put the puzzle pieces into my head and I'm like, ah, I could have.
Mike Wright
I could have done a. Jason, it's fine. It's fin. You see in the. No, no, no, no, no, no.
Jason Moore
I liked it. No a lot better than Mr. Berlin.
Mike Wright
Is part of Germany.
Jason Moore
All right. Go ahead.
Mike Wright
Steelers are a pass funnel. They rank 28th and schedule adjusted points to the quarterback position. Combine that with what Joe Flacco is doing right now and it is going to be sensational.
Jason Moore
You said something yesterday that was frightening coming back from lunch.
Andy Holloway
Oh, yeah.
Jason Moore
And it was. You're.
Mike Wright
You're. You can't.
Jason Moore
Shit.
Andy Holloway
These are my secret dogs.
Jason Moore
This is. This is why this show is what it is.
Andy Holloway
Reveal yourself.
Jason Moore
You have Joe Burrow in two leagues. No, you have. Sorry. I have Joe Flacco in two leagues.
Mike Wright
And Joe Burrow in one.
Jason Moore
And you said you're not sure if you want Joe Burrow to come back.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Wow.
Jason Moore
Because of how.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Hyped. You are on Joe Flacco target insanity.
Mike Wright
Jamar Jake's getting games of 15 targets.
Jason Moore
It's like a Gatling gun of targets.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
Straight to Jamar Chase.
Mike Wright
Joe Flacco is doing awesome. And look, I really. I just want Joe Burrow to be as healthy as he can. And why rush back to a season where it's lost?
Andy Holloway
It was just crazy. You're the franchise in our dynasty league. You have the Burrow Chase Stack.
Mike Wright
Correct.
Andy Holloway
And you got out of the car and you're like, I don't think I want Burrow to come.
Jason Moore
He still wants the Joe Chase Stack.
Mike Wright
Because I have Grandpa Joe. Jamar Chase Stack.
Jason Moore
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
All right.
Jason Moore
I do feel like I'm not sure.
Mike Wright
If you've been paying attention.
Andy Holloway
It's been awesome.
Jason Moore
It is still one of those. I think the biggest thing for me is it's great until it's not. So if you happen to catch the.
Mike Wright
Game where Joe goes, it could fall apart.
Jason Moore
Old man. Justin Herbert's going to be my start of the week against Jacksonville. He is sitting at QB4 in points per game. You know, with the bi week situation, he's number one in fantasy. Points scored total. You have a weekly rushing floor. We've been enjoying that each and every week. We like the pass rate over expectation. It's probably time to retire. Any idea that Mr. You know Harbaugh and why am I forgetting his two years now? Right. The majority of two years. We know what they want to do. They want to throw the football. Which is why I trust the quarterback that they know is elite.
Mike Wright
And it just took Justin Herbert for Harbaugh to see the light that you throw the ball in the NFL and they're.
Jason Moore
Jacksonville has allowed six consecutive top 12 weeks to quarterbacks. Are they superstars? Let me ask you, is Davis Mills, Geno Smith a Superstar. Is Davis Mills the QB one a superstar? No. So Justin Herbert should be awesome this week.
Andy Holloway
I like it at running back. I'm going with Aaron Jones senior against Chicago last week he had 71% of the snaps. He finishes the RB12. He looks significantly better than Jordan Mason. I don't know what's going on with Jordan Mason. If he's banged up, he just hasn't looked very good. The snaps are going to Aaron Jones senior Vikings. They're three point home favorites against Chicago and we actually saw, we saw this already. Week one Aaron Jones against Chicago. He was the running back 12 averaging six yards per touch. And the Bears rush defense is very bad. 32nd in yards before contact. So I think Aaron Jones is good play this week.
Mike Wright
The Minnesota Vikings have like. Do you guys know what the line is?
Andy Holloway
The over under on the whole game? I don't. I would guess like 48 and a half.
Mike Wright
48 and a half is exactly perfect. But it's the fact that the Minnesota Vikings have an implied team total of nearly 26 points like that is.
Jason Moore
It's exciting.
Andy Holloway
What do they know? Well, I think the Bears games have been doing that.
Mike Wright
I'm just like the. All the JJ McCarthy doubt and you're like, hey, we think this team's going to score 26 points. That's awesome. Running back start of the week. I got Jalen Warren on the other side of Joe Flacco versus Cincinnati. Seventeen opportunities a game. That's great. Two plus receptions in every single game so far. And he could hit his ceiling this week. Cincinnati, they are the run funnel. They're just, I mean they're a funnel. They're a funnel for all your offense.
Andy Holloway
They're just a tube. They don't funnel to anywhere. They just, just go through the tube.
Mike Wright
It's. It's Cincinnati. Look, 31st and yards before contact. 31st and expected points per rush attempt. 32nd in schedule, adjusted points to the running back position. He was the running back seven against Cincinnati in week seven. Season high, 127 rushing yards. I love me some Jaylen Moore and it, it could be just puff pieces out there, but there we. This week we did have some talk of perhaps Jalen Warren needs even more.
Jason Moore
Touches, perhaps anything to keep the ball away from Caleb Johnson.
Mike Wright
Yeah, and DK Metcalf apparently.
Jason Moore
And Metcalf and everybody. And Aaron Rodgers. Look, you guys know this. I've always been Mr. Rico. I'm a well documented Rico Dowdle guy. Mike was my front man. I was pulling the strings. Rico Dowdle against Atlanta did you catch?
Mike Wright
I got tweeted, like, two weeks. It was one big. You know, it was the big Rico game. And I got added @ID on Twitter and they're like, andy, way to wait. Lead the way on Rico.
Andy Holloway
I'm like, yes, I saw this.
Mike Wright
It is like, I didn't see that. Oh, he's like, trying to dunk on me for not liking.
Jason Moore
Super factual. Like, nice tweet, sir.
Andy Holloway
To be fair, Andy has always been the Rico guy. Mike, welcome aboard.
Jason Moore
Yeah, thanks for jumping on board with the guy. The running back with the most rushing yards in the entire league since week five, except for Jonathan Taylor. That's Rico Dowdle.
Andy Holloway
Before you said, except for Jonathan Taylor. You about to blow my mind. I was like, he's got more than Jonathan Taylor.
Jason Moore
Yeah. Atlanta 31st and rush success rate. 30th in yards after contact allowed. 31st against running backs. What's the recipe for successful Carolina Panther football games? It's been Rico Dowdle. I'm taking him in Atlanta.
Andy Holloway
I like it. What's the recipe for a good wide receiver game? A squeaky wheel. Ooh, Demanding more stats. And that's AJ Brown. My start of the week this week. I love it when my wide receivers don't stay quiet.
Jason Moore
I actually. Can I speak to A.J. brown real quick?
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Mike Wright
He's not here.
Jason Moore
No, sorry. I'm about to speak to the comments.
Andy Holloway
He's probably listening.
Jason Moore
I watched his whole little. I don't know if you saw.
Mike Wright
I did.
Jason Moore
The locker room conversation.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
I thought everything he said was 100%.
Andy Holloway
It was wonderful. It was legitimately wise.
Jason Moore
And for those that want to criticize him about wanting stats. It wasn't about that. It's about the fact that he looks at the defense as always, picking up the slack for the offense, and he's not satisfied with that. Yes, they're winning ball games. He knows that at the drop of a hat, if your offense isn't producing, you just lose that game when the defense can't hold you up. Everything he said was completely on point. And we said this on the show. He had two great games. He missed a game due to a hamstring injury, and he had a tough defensive matchup. I went to trade for him this morning in a couple of leagues. I am 100% on board with this take for this week and moving forward.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. So, you know, on the season, he's still getting a 26% target share, 31% first read target share. And I love this game. Like the Lions Eagles. I mean, you know, the Lions are going to score on the Eagles, they're going to have to keep up. This is what AJ Brown was talking about, the defense. If it doesn't hold the way it's been holding and against the Lions, it might not, they're going to require more A.J. brown. So I wouldn't be afraid of. You know, he's been inconsistent this year. There's been some bad games.
Jason Moore
I'd trade for him. Yeah, sure.
Andy Holloway
I'm in on that.
Jason Moore
Mike. Wide receiver.
Mike Wright
My wide receiver. Star of the week. I have not been able to visit the Blacksmith.
Jason Moore
Oh, come on.
Andy Holloway
Much.
Jason Moore
Oh, gosh.
Mike Wright
Well, this. Look, when you see an opportunity.
Jason Moore
What?
Mike Wright
To have fun, you got to do it, baby.
Andy Holloway
Yes. Unobtainium underpants. I was going to say if you went steel.
Mike Wright
Oh, no, no. This is not a steel underpants play.
Andy Holloway
Holy moly.
Jason Moore
Maximal.
Andy Holloway
You don't really mean.
Mike Wright
Yes, I do. I mean this. There are leagues out there that people are going to be like, man, can I do this? And I 100% think that you can as a. As a flex type of a player.
Andy Holloway
I get it.
Jason Moore
You got to say the name. No one out there knows who you're talking about.
Mike Wright
Tyler Lockett. We are back. It is the year 2015. I don't even. I don't know what year, but look, Pete Carroll loves Tyler Lockett and we talk about, you know, I can love a running back or a wide receiver and if a coach doesn't and they don't get on the field, they can't do anything. Tyler Lockett is out there. He's on the Raiders. Ladies and gentlemen, Tyler Lockett is on the Raiders and they are playing against the Dallas Cowboys. He was the clear wide receiver, too, behind Trey Tucker. He's. He's getting more snaps each of the. He's only been there a couple of weeks, but against Dallas, I think you can do it. They are dead last and schedule adjusted points to the wide receiver position. They have allowed multiple wide receivers each week to hit 60 or more yards over the last month. You're talking superstars like Jalen Lane and Chris Moore, Franklin and Cortland Sutton. Okay. Marv, Michael Wilson. Guys who do not have pedigree are putting up points and out. It's tough in the streets. So if you need to be. If you're desperate and you're trying to find a wide receiver, because I know there are teams. Jason, you just told me we're in a 14 team league.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Mike Wright
And you realized that you're like, I only have two wide receivers on my team. Through what I've been having to stash. And one of them's on by this week.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Mike Wright
You know who's available in every single league? Tyler Lockett.
Andy Holloway
I. Let me. Let me scooch here. Are you putting the claiming. No, I already have a claim on Tyler Lockett in that league. Just proof that that was already there. He is the guy I'm picking up to play, so I guess not as insane, but sad.
Mike Wright
Sometimes you got to get crazy.
Jason Moore
All right. T. Higgins will be my start of the week at the wide receiver position. In that Joe Flacco game against Pittsburgh, we asked the simple question, is Joe playing either of the Joes?
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
You start T. Higgins with Flacco. He's been unbelievable. He was basically not playable before. Now, 17 fantasy points a game, 81 yards a game, 10 targets, six for 96 and one against the Steelers in week seven is start him up.
Andy Holloway
I like it. My tight end start of the week. Tight end was a little harder this week. I felt like. Unfortunately, he did not practice on Wednesday, so monitor the practice reports. I think it's just a veteran day of rest. He's been getting a lot of work. But Dalton Schultz should be started right now, like, you know, so he has at least five passes for 50 plus yards in four of the last five games. That alone is wonderful for a tight end when you're getting someone off of waivers. I mean, obviously you hope you have Trey McBride or, you know, Bowers in there, but specifically with General Mills at quarterback. The last two weeks, where we've seen, you know, a lot of Mills two weeks ago and then the start this last week, he has 25% of Mills's first read targets. That is, for context, the only two tight ends on the season seeing that kind of first retargets Trey McBride and Brock Bowers. So he's a fine streaming option this week for a Texans team that is a six and a half point road favorite.
Mike Wright
All right, Mike, I got Colston Loveland here against Minnesota.
Jason Moore
Worked the last time you did this.
Mike Wright
It did. The last week was disappointing that the route participation went back down with Cole Comet being back on the field. But he's Colston Loveland. If you watching the Bears game like this guy when he's given an opportunity is successful. He's a good player. Chicago's pretty banged up right now. Rome. DJ Moore did not practice on Wednesday. DJ Moore I'm worried about, like there's a chance he misses this week. Cole Comet was limited and the matchup is there as well. Over the last six weeks. Minnesota 29th in schedule. Adjusted points to the tight end.
Jason Moore
Good matchup for Zach Ertz. So I'll go Zach Ertz in Spain.
Mike Wright
Yeah, it makes sense.
Jason Moore
He is the Washington Dalton Schultz.
Andy Holloway
I mean, I went to the doc to put Zach Ertz and I was.
Jason Moore
Very upset that you had him. Yeah, I love it. Dolphins can't defend the tight end position. He's a steadying presence on that offense with a bunch of banged up injured receivers. You know, every time they throw the ball to earth, it's a higher odds proposition than the Jalen Lane experience. So I'll go Zachary in Miami.

Fantasy forecast presented by prize picks.
Jason Moore
Bengals, Chiefs, Cowboys and Titans back from the by. Colts and Saints taking the week off. And we had back overseas this time to Spain for the last time. Yeah. Our final international game. Is that right?
Andy Holloway
That is for this season.
Jason Moore
For this season. And it will probably be like every week in the future.
Mike Wright
Yeah, we're. I don't remember how many were last year, but it feels like this has been a lot.
Andy Holloway
I will say this now that the time zone changed for everybody else and we held steady and firm in Arizona. It was pretty nice. 7:30 in the morning. Like to lead into the morning, I didn't have the. The difference between 6:30 in the morning and 7:30 in the morning is wild.
Jason Moore
And by the way, if the Falcons were playing in this game, we would make like a Drake Madrid joke. Okay. You know what I mean?
Andy Holloway
Why?
Jason Moore
Not because Madrid's a better city, but because of more where he's playing.
Andy Holloway
Okay, now I get it.
Jason Moore
Washington three and seven, the Dolphins three and seven. Oh, we send you our best Spain. Miami minus two and a half is.
Mike Wright
The line was supposed to be good.
Jason Moore
Yeah. And Miami coming off a huge, huge win over under is 47 and a half. Washington's lost four straight. We are not going the right direction for Jaden Daniels return Miami, they've beaten Atlanta and Buffalo to the last three weeks. They are playing for their coach. I feel like it's been evident even in their losses this year. But Washington, they've struggled. I like the line here. Miami minus two and a half. It makes sense to me to a has been getting it done, but not like a Chan and Waddle. A Chan and Waddle are just auto starts in fantasy right now.
Andy Holloway
I went to try to trade for Jalen Waddle in our league of record.
Jason Moore
No dice.
Andy Holloway
No dice. Sometimes you go and you're like, okay, I'm going to trade for this player. And then you look at who's got him and you go, I can't.
Jason Moore
Is that what it was? You didn't actually attempt to trade?
Andy Holloway
No, I didn't attempt because I was like, I will never get him.
Jason Moore
I think I know whose team he's on. But Jalen Waddle, he's been great. He's averaging 80 plus yards a game since Tyreek's injury. Achan is just a machine. Five and a half carry, catches the football better than most wide receivers. It's been kind of, you know, this is one where I wouldn't play, but I would monitor the Greg Dulcich.
Andy Holloway
Yes.
Jason Moore
Yep.
Mike Wright
In agreement.
Andy Holloway
And get ready to scoop him up off of waivers this week if he has a good week, which I think he legitimately could. I'm fine to take a shot there.
Mike Wright
This.
Andy Holloway
This is a team.
Jason Moore
He struggled last week, though, in their big win. And so to me, it was. That was the one I was watching for. Now I'm nervous.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, it's just. It's the route participation, the getting on the field. You know, he went 28, 36%, 58% of the snaps in the last three weeks. And they. They need the tight end position. They use John New Smith so much. When Darren Waller showed up, it was like, oh, a revelation. And it's so. I just want someone there to catch the ball at the tight end position because I think there's value.
Jason Moore
We're going to play everybody's least favorite game. It's called order these commander running backs. Chris Rodriguez is going to play. He scored in three of four. Jakori Crosky. Merritt hasn't scored six fantasy points since week five. And then Jeremy McNichols just stealing opportunities again.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. If we have to order him, I would put Chris Rodriguez first.
Jason Moore
Me, too.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
And then probably Bill, then McNichols. But, I mean, it's.
Jason Moore
Would you start.
Andy Holloway
I would not.
Jason Moore
Chris Rodriguez this week, or would you start Tajie Spears against Houston?
Andy Holloway
Man, that's a tough matchup. I'd probably go Rodriguez.
Jason Moore
That's what I'm doing. Yeah, that's what I'm doing. You messing around with wide receivers for Marcus Mariota?
Andy Holloway
Not really. I mean, you can throw Debo in there if you want, but it hasn't been good with Mariota, so I think Mariota himself is a fine play. He'll spread the ball around. He'll run the ball. But I don't love the wide receivers here.
Jason Moore
Yardage for debo. The last four starts, 15, 11, 41 and 29. If he didn't get into the end zone, I mean, it's really. This whole team is just.
Mike Wright
They have yards, right? Like, where are they going?
Jason Moore
They're just evaporating. Caught by an invisible person down the field. No, Mariota is still a streaming candidate this week. I mean, you. You have to look at what he's been able to accomplish, even in games where, I mean, like last week, for example, 18.7 fancy points per game in a game that got annihilated by Detroit. Miami's a much better matchup than that.
Mike Wright
Yeah, there. I think there's just. There's other.
Jason Moore
Would you play Jacoby Brissette over?
Mike Wright
I would.
Jason Moore
Even with. No.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Did we not share that news.
Mike Wright
No, that was. Yeah, that was on yesterday's show.
Jason Moore
We should probably reiterate. Okay, we can. Marvin Harrison is out this week due to an appendicitis surgery. Appendectomy. Appendectomy.
Andy Holloway
Took it out.
Jason Moore
Nope. Didn't. And didn't give it back.
Andy Holloway
No.
Jason Moore
From what I understand, Carolina's five and five, Atlanta three and six. Vegas line. Atlanta minus three and a half here at home over Unders 42, two and a half. I think this is a fair statement. These are two teams that don't know who they are because we don't know. Some weeks Carolina looks like they are okay and then they go and get smushed by Tyler Schuck. And some weeks Atlanta looks okay and then they look like they don't know what they're doing on offense.
Mike Wright
Well said.
Jason Moore
So.
Andy Holloway
And some weeks you have this matchup happen and Carolina wins 30 to nothing. It's like, remember that?
Jason Moore
Oh, that was week three where Michael Penix didn't even play the whole game. And you know, now you know Rico's the dude. My start of the week, you play Bijan. I think some people are a little bit disappointed.
Andy Holloway
Oh for sure.
Jason Moore
In Bijan of late.
Mike Wright
Just annoying.
Andy Holloway
It's not him, it's Algier.
Jason Moore
Yeah. I mean 25 yards, 46 yards, 84 yards.
Mike Wright
I was unlike how I feel about Seattle, which is obnoxious and annoying to me. Algiers good.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
Did you see the quote?
Andy Holloway
Yeah. From Morris.
Jason Moore
Read the Mike hasn't heard it.
Mike Wright
I think that. What the. We like we have another superstar.
Jason Moore
He said he is the least talked about superstar on our football team.
Mike Wright
No, the rewinding back to Bijan getting drafted was shocking to me. Like, I know sometimes you're like, if you see this is a. This is a top year elite player. Okay. You took Bijon and honestly it's worked out I think pretty well. But Tyler Algier had just broken the rookie rushing record for Atlanta the year before. So it seems to not be a match. But Algeria. The point is Algier is very good. The, the. The crew that made the. The Ken Walker video. The Ken Walker on Madden, they did another one with Algier and Bijan. It's is. These are delightful videos. Whoever's making them, please continue to do so. So it just. This is what it is, man. Algiers good. And he's going to get touchdowns.
Andy Holloway
That's the issue is that for fantasy purposes, he's taking touchdowns away from Bijan. When they get inside the 10, they are actually using Algier More than they are Bijan. Bijan hasn't had a rushing touchdown since week six and Algiers scooping them all up and it's working for them. And I agree with you. It's not one of those things that you can really criticize.
Mike Wright
You can't be like, this isn't char.
Andy Holloway
There were, there were times I was.
Jason Moore
Like, well, we did criticize Mr. Arthur Smith quite a bit about it.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
But the way Algier is playing recently, it's just like he is, he's, he's fantastic. He's almost someone that you could start in this game and just hope for a touchdown.
Jason Moore
Like if you're kind of always been fantastic. Yeah, he's a thousand yard rusher.
Andy Holloway
He is not as good as Bijon.
Jason Moore
4.7 a carry last year.
Andy Holloway
He's obviously not as good as Bijan. And so you do take a little negative hit when you bring Bijan off the field. But it's a, it's a fantastic, you know, right hook to the jab.
Jason Moore
Now, Drake London didn't practice on Wednesday due to an illness, but he'll be back out there and he's been the wide receiver one in back to back weeks. You play him at home against Carolina and you don't worry about who's starting on the other side because they're smaller than he is.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, he's so tall.
Jason Moore
Darnell Mooney. Don't worry about him. Kyle Pitts.
Mike Wright
Yeah, we definitely can't worry about him because he is out now.
Jason Moore
I don't think so.
Mike Wright
We don't have.
Jason Moore
That was training camp. The report was that in training camp when they reported the shoulder injury, it was actually a collarbone.
Andy Holloway
Oh, okay.
Jason Moore
He did not get hurt.
Andy Holloway
Again, not a new broken collarbone.
Jason Moore
I mean, he may be trying.
Andy Holloway
Just news about a broken collarbone.
Jason Moore
Yes. Kyle Pitts, though. I mean, Mooney starting or not starting, you don't play him. And then Kyle Pittsburgh.
Andy Holloway
He's an okay, he's an okay start.
Jason Moore
Don't be excited.
Andy Holloway
No, you're not excited because he's not that good. But the Panthers are a good matchup to target against tight ends and he.
Mike Wright
Had a, he had a excellent matchup last week. He had been steady for his floor. He really has been for, for the year. And then you had a matchup. I thought he would be great last week because he finally had a, you know, like a good plus matchup. Nothing. Nothing.
Jason Moore
Tap McMillan. What is the rest of season for you? Is he a tight wide receiver?
Mike Wright
He's a wide receiver too.
Andy Holloway
He's a wide Receiver two rest of the season. I think the rest of the season will be better for him. This is not the perfect for four weeks. Yeah. And I still believe it. I think the end of the season will be great for Ted. When we get there, you can tell me.
Jason Moore
Okay.
Andy Holloway
When we get there, you can tell me if it was right or wrong.
Jason Moore
I just think the last four weeks have not been.
Andy Holloway
This is not a great matchup.
Mike Wright
Seven for 99. Wide receiver 14 three weeks ago.
Jason Moore
Just saying.
Mike Wright
You can't say the whole month.
Andy Holloway
Atlanta's defense is allowing the fewest passing yards per game. It's not a great matchup where you're targeting him. I think he's, you know, there's plenty of players that he's probably started in most of your leagues. But I'm not expecting a big blow up game this week.
Jason Moore
Okay. We care about anybody else on that roster other than Rico and Tet. Let's see, for this week, I don't. I don't think the answer is yes.
Mike Wright
No.
Jason Moore
The answer is probably no.
Mike Wright
No. I mean, no. Based on matchup. I don't think there's anyone else. I'm going to sneak in.
Andy Holloway
Man, Chuba, how sad.
Mike Wright
Like it.
Jason Moore
I mean, Chuba didn't really do anything wrong.
Mike Wright
No, no.
Andy Holloway
That's what it's all about.
Jason Moore
I mean, I think he'll be.
Mike Wright
You can wipe his tears, but it's.
Andy Holloway
Like, yeah, he's paid a lot of money and that's fine. But it's like because he gets injured, he does nothing wrong. He hasn't changed who he is. He was a good player. He gets three carries.
Jason Moore
Last week he was the running back 13. Last year he didn't even play 17 weeks.
Mike Wright
What he did wrong is the other guy's better.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. I mean, just wild to think like he was deleted.
Jason Moore
This is what I was talking about. Like when you have a guy you like, the other guy you have to hate. That's the Mike Wright experience. You hate Ramondre, right? You hate Charbonnet, right?
Mike Wright
Yeah, I actually don't. I don't hate you.
Jason Moore
But you do, you hate him. All right, we'll move on. Tampa Bay 6 and 3 Buffalo 6 and 3 Buffalo 5 and a half point home favorites over unders 48 and a half. Both teams coming off a loss last week. Both teams destroyed by big runs last week. Hn a couple of big runs. Hindo a couple of big runs against Tampa. This game seems interesting with the shootout potential of, you know, 48 and a half point over under. Both teams top five in, you know, combined points per game on the season on average. So you normally see games up over the 50 point mark when they're out there. Okay, well, Baker, Josh Allen, how are we feeling?
Andy Holloway
I think it should be a fun game there. I will say there's a little bit of concern with weather. Likely going to be some Snow showers and 15 mile an hour winds. So you don't love that. But what I do love is two quarterbacks that more often than not get it done. And especially in big moments and this is a big game, I think they'll come to play. I will say we're, I'm pretty disappointed with. I mean the Bills have struggled, right? They just got there. They got shellacked by the Dolphins. They, they got laid over the lap and full spanked. Like we're talking pants down, spank bottom. They did. That's what happened to the Bills last week. But the Bills have lost, I think like three of their last five games. They lost to Atlanta. It like, I don't, I don't think we just look at them as like the super bowl contender, the mvp, but I think they're struggling right now.
Jason Moore
Well, what's weird is you have two quarterbacks you have a lot of confidence in. You just said it. But then other than a mecca abuka who is an auto start every week, name another name the next best start from this game at wide receiver, I would say Taz. So another Tampa Bay player, zero.
Andy Holloway
And then I would say Coleman.
Jason Moore
So you say three Tampa Bay players?
Andy Holloway
Yeah, I mean if Kincaid is playing, I would put Kincaid ahead of autumn, but yeah, I mean it's really difficult to have production from the Buffalo wide receiver group.
Jason Moore
Do you like Tez as a flex play this week?
Andy Holloway
I do, I do. I mean I'm going to monitor the weather. I'm a little bit. It's too early to know, but if, if the game conditions are fine. He has been very, very good for fantasy and I don't think it's going away. He's a rookie, he's talented. He's got a good quarterback right now without Mike Evans, he's very necessary.
Jason Moore
Well, but at his weight, if the wind starts picking up, right, he might.
Andy Holloway
Be blown off his routes.
Mike Wright
Dude, Taz, that jersey better be snug. Yeah, you don't want to get any sale effects. You're out of here, brother.
Jason Moore
You are up and away.
Mike Wright
Paper airplane just.
Jason Moore
But could they use that to their advantage by the afternoon?
Andy Holloway
Could they use that to their advantage? Imagine how fast he could be if the wind is at his back.
Jason Moore
They're like.
Mike Wright
They win the toss and they're like. So do you want to defer? You want the ball? No, we're going that direction.
Andy Holloway
That's right.
Mike Wright
Watch the sailboat.
Jason Moore
Tez the sailboat.
Andy Holloway
Baker's just going to punt the ball so that he can get it far enough.
Mike Wright
Oh, I was thinking like just hand him the ball and then yeet him up in the air and he just looks like a flying squirrel.
Jason Moore
Oh, my gosh.
Mike Wright
Dalton Kincaid yards in the air.
Jason Moore
What a jump. Dalton Kincaid's probably going to miss. Would you mess around with Dawson Knox at all?
Mike Wright
He's an okay backup.
Jason Moore
It's incredible to have no receiving options. You want it, really?
Andy Holloway
A quarterback, you know, that will be.
Jason Moore
Great and throw for a bunch of yards.
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Josh Allen will have 25 fantasy points in this game or far more. You know, that's his baseline and you don't start a single receiving offense.
Jason Moore
I think Khalil Shakir in a full PPR would be the one to go with. Okay, we talked about ODD and we'll take a break here and talk. Well, a much, much, much more depressing game. On November 14, the now youw See Me movie franchise is back. The Four Horsemen of Magic, Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco and Isla Fisher are reuniting for their biggest heist yet.

Mike Wright
Award winning private island.
Jason Moore
Perfect day at Coco Cay. This is the undisputed champion of vacations book today@royalcaribbean.com Big time, best time, all the time. Come seek the Royal Caribbean. I don't think I really sold this game well coming out of the break. Like if you were gonna like you.
Mike Wright
Not well, but appropriately.
Jason Moore
Okay. Houston 4 and 5. Coming off that sweet Davis Mills led comeback over Jacksonville taking on the 1 and 8 Tennessee Titans. How many points will they score, you ask? Not a lot says Vegas. Houston minus six and a half on the road over under 37 and a half Titans with just 15 and a half points.
Mike Wright
Yeah, they're not getting there.
Andy Holloway
If you Want to bet the over you are hoping for Texans defensive scores?
Jason Moore
I mean, even with the game in Tennessee. No hope, huh?
Andy Holloway
Not for the Tennessee side.
Jason Moore
I think he is in position for the number one pick right now.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
You know, we talked about this a month ago where it was like, you know, Cam Ward was not available for trade. Their entire team going to the trade deadline was like everyone except for Jeffrey Simmons and Cam Ward. Come. Come get our pieces. Why would Cam, like, you're. You are going to draft the quarterback this year. I really, man.
Jason Moore
No, you're not. No, you're not. Zero percent chance.
Andy Holloway
Then they are stupid.
Jason Moore
No, I mean, look, everything around them, everything around him is terrible. You don't draft cam or number one and draft another quarterback.
Mike Wright
You have to be 100% sure that the other quarterback is so much better. And I don't.
Jason Moore
That's not the case. Right.
Mike Wright
I don't think we're at that point this year.
Jason Moore
I mean, there's a lot of mock drafts right now that have number one, number two pick not going to the quarterback position.
Andy Holloway
That's fine. I'm not. Let's say they don't. They will be bad. They will continue being bad. Cam Ward. Yeah. I mean, the Titans and Cam Ward look like a non NFL team.
Jason Moore
Well, they did have the number one pick last year without Cam Ward. So you. This is the fourth consecutive number one pick that has seen the head coach change in the middle of the season. The structure around him. I can't imagine throwing the football to IO Manor and DK as the foundation of your future. I would be shocked if they gave up on Cam Ward. That just seems like a wild.
Andy Holloway
Is Ridley back this week? He might be. He's been out with the Hammy. They're coming off the buy. It'd be an interesting. You know, keep your eyes on that.
Jason Moore
This is the number one defense in points per game and yards per game. In Houston, they've given up the least points and yards. The Tennessee offense has scored the least points and accumulated the fewest yards.
Mike Wright
Yeah, this is so you.
Jason Moore
I mean, 15 and a half points for Tennessee. That would be an amazing day.
Mike Wright
It's the movable object versus the unstoppable force.
Jason Moore
I mean, you don't. I don't. This is why Taj Spears is on my bench this week. I would try to get Pollard on my bench. I would put all of the receivers. Even if Ridley came back on my bench, I would play zero Tennessee Titans. I would play Woody Marks.
Mike Wright
Oh, yeah.
Jason Moore
I might mess around with Nick Chubb. If I'm desperate this week because I think, I think you'll see the opportunities go up in this game and game script. You got to remember Houston, what have we seen from the Woody Marks snap experience? It's games like last week, you're down 29 to 10. The majority of snaps went to Woody Marks. The last time they were down by a bunch of points to Baltimore. Then he disappeared for a few weeks. I don't think that locker room has said, hey, Woody's our only player. Maybe they should. I'm not saying they shouldn't.
Mike Wright
Yeah, it could be.
Jason Moore
But I think that you're going to see a difference of utilization in this one.
Mike Wright
With the lead, two carries inside the five last week for Woody Marks is that with the 80% snapshare is pretty exciting.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
I mean, I will project that he has under 55% of snaps this week.
Mike Wright
Okay.
Andy Holloway
Wow.
Jason Moore
For that team.
Mike Wright
Wet blanket over here.
Jason Moore
I'm sorry.
Andy Holloway
It's tough. I understand what you're saying. Game script wise and the fact that if this one they're, you know, up big or dominating, maybe you get Chubb more work. But the issue is it's hard for me to start someone who like last week, Chubb played 13% of the snaps. You just can't bank on that. So I think Nico, Dalton Schultz, we.
Jason Moore
Don'T bank on this.
Andy Holloway
And Woody Marks are fine. And then you check out of this.
Jason Moore
Game with Nico, you said and Dalton Schultz. Yeah. The Chicago Bears are six and three. They take on the four and five Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota three point home favorites. You guys were talking about it earlier over under 48 and a half. You like that Minnesota won this game. Monday Night Football, 27, 24. Second half comeback. That was the, you know, the J.J. mcCarthy two touchdowns, 143. Second half, first half looked like how Jason feels about Cam Ward.
Andy Holloway
Yeah.
Jason Moore
In the second half. He redeemed it in the fourth quarter. Both of these quarterbacks though, in this game, they are. They can be erratic, can be a little, I don't know, like a little panicky.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Oh, yeah. Caleb Williams definitely can go panic. And J.J. mcCarthy is. He was limited on Wednesday. I feel like it kind of slipped through the cracks a bit of. He did injure his hand, his throwing hand last week in the second half where, you know, the first half it looked. McCarthy looked like he was like, hey, we. The good stuff from McCarthy that we saw two weeks ago, it's happening again. Then really falls apart. He had the hurt hand. Was that a, A big cause for it or not. That's. That's tbd.
Jason Moore
Do you feel like maybe he should wear less than an entire tin of eye black? Would that help? Maybe the situation.
Andy Holloway
Maybe you should look for some changes right now. Like when things aren't going well, change some stuff up.
Jason Moore
Nick. At some point when you have less bare skin showing than the actual eye.
Mike Wright
Black, you could be going, it's shoe polish.
Andy Holloway
Actually.
Jason Moore
It looks like shoe polish.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, he just smears his whole face with shoe balls so that he can. So he can become nine his ultimate Persona.
Mike Wright
I don't care for that.
Andy Holloway
It's cringy. Oh, you know, you know about nine.
Mike Wright
Yeah, nine. That's when the dog comes out.
Andy Holloway
He's got. What are you talking alternate personality.
Jason Moore
When he steps on the field, he calls himself nine.
Andy Holloway
Oh yeah, he's got his little.
Jason Moore
I thought you guys were joking about him throwing so many nine routes because he throws the ball deep all the time.
Andy Holloway
No, no, no, he calls it nine. He's. That's. Yeah, that's who he becomes is nine. And he's like Batman. He's got this fancy chair.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Have you seen his chair?
Mike Wright
I don't know about the chair. Like a transformation chair.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, a transformation meditation chair that has.
Jason Moore
I'm lowering the honesty ranking as you know speaking.
Andy Holloway
I think he's an investor in the company as well.
Jason Moore
9.
Andy Holloway
No, no, no, no. This chair that he sits in to meditate to become nine before the game chair company.
Jason Moore
What are you talking about?
Andy Holloway
Oh, the best part is these aren't jokes. These aren't jokes. I'm not making funny statements. They're funny statements. They need to be jokes. Yeah. Go get them. 9. This is Caleb Williams and J.J. mcCarthy. This game like you know you talk about players like Jameson Williams has such a range of outcomes. This game could be awesome or awful. Yeah, I'm excited. I'm scared.
Jason Moore
Okay. Aaron Jones, your start of the week. DeAndre Swift, you play him when he's active. I'd be pretty nervous about Monongai going up against the Vikings running defense.
Mike Wright
It went. Went right back to DeAndre Swift.
Jason Moore
That will be my nungai will be a touchdown only you're miserable.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
I mean last week you got lucky.
Andy Holloway
With a touchdown and always a good insurance option though because you know Swift is banged up so if he misses more time we saw him and Guy awesome.
Jason Moore
So it is certainly knock Swift out for the year. Oh yeah, he was gone. Manangai is probably top 10.
Andy Holloway
Yes, I would agree with that.
Jason Moore
Roma Dunes A you play him Mike, how do you Feel about this question. Luther burden. If D.J. moore's out, which he might be. He was a goose last week. Luther Burden, who you brought up, you know we talked about him on the Dynasty podcast this week.
Mike Wright
I like him.
Jason Moore
Talked about him with you on the day that Jason didn't show up. It's a bad day. Luther Burden or your start of the week? Tyler Lockett.
Mike Wright
I would play Tyler Lockett.
Jason Moore
Okay.
Mike Wright
I'm not confident enough in the usage of Burden. I should say. The slow play of Luther Burden and Colston Loveland has been very frustrating. Like Burden, especially because it's like Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus is second on the Chicago Bears in receptions. We little man.
Andy Holloway
Disgusting.
Mike Wright
Yeah, this is.
Andy Holloway
Sorry. He's a kiss.
Jason Moore
Oh man. Yeah, that was offensive.
Andy Holloway
It felt pretty bad. Like you're doing good work, you're playing hard and good for you. Good for you.
Mike Wright
But awful NFL player who, that's fine. He belongs on the field. But it's like true to hit your ceiling as an offense. It's Luther Burden, the loved one one. I understand Colcomet's a good player. I, I, I'm not going to dunk on Colcomer. I think he's good. But the way that so I did a film review on Luther Burden. If you don't listen to the Dynasty podcast number one, you should check it out. You'll get some good information. Each week, one of the hosts, we go back and we watch the film on someone because I'm excited about Luther Burden. I think his the talent is massive. If he trot stick you if you're.
Jason Moore
If you carry you down the field.
Mike Wright
In this scheme, Luther Burns going to be awesome. The, the way he was being utilized to me wasn't great. It's like a lot of clearing things out for other players. When he, when he gets the ball, great things happen. We're just not at the point where I he's going to reliably get the ball. We would have to see it first for Luther Burton.
Jason Moore
The snap count was its highest of the year last year. So you can hope for something there.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Jason Moore
And the high over under you talked about Loveland.
Mike Wright
It should and for Burden he should surpass that this week. If DJ Moore doesn't go.
Andy Holloway
What is Roma Dunes a rest of.
Jason Moore
Season like, what is Roma Dunes a wide receiver one.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
Top 12.
Jason Moore
Yeah. I mean back end. Back end 10 to 12.
Mike Wright
He's a top 12 type of finish wide receiver who will have games where you're just like, what in the world. How does, how has Rome not gotten the ball.
Jason Moore
I think, I think the, you know, we talked about burdens opportunities with the D.J. moore injury, but a dunes they get solidified with it from a production standpoint. But Loveland, you brought him up. I think people desperately would love to hear us talk about the Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison decision making process. The targets were all there last week. The production was not.
Mike Wright
Yeah, the catch rate for Jefferson with McCarthy is. Is bad. And that's what I was saying of was was it the hand over the second half that led to a lot of these errant passes? I mean, I'm still playing Jefferson with full confidence, especially in this matchup right now.
Jason Moore
Jeff, if you want to look at the numbers for McCarthy, he's got an interception rate two times higher than any other quarterback when he faces a man defense. He is not reading that and making the decisions he needs to make right now. Yeah, he's throwing the ball down the field a lot. That turned into an interception last week. You want to have confidence with the schedule for Jefferson and Addison and so it's frustrating that you're not locked in.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, I think there are brighter days ahead. We're very recency biased by nature. And off the bad game, we want to just say, oh, things are bad. Jordan Addison to me is a good play this week. Obviously Justin Jefferson, you're playing every week, so it should, it should get better.
Jason Moore
Green Bay is 5, 3 and 1. A lot of criticism for the offense this past week. New York Giants two and eight. Green Bay minus seven on the road here over under 42 and a half. We did not have any line movement with the Jameis News. Also James's press conference.
Mike Wright
Oh, man.
Jason Moore
Was ridiculous.
Mike Wright
Once again, greatest city in the world.
Jason Moore
He also made Jackson Hamilton reference. Yeah, he did the Jason. Yeah, he did wonderful.
Andy Holloway
Good one.
Mike Wright
Got nervous. He's like, oh, people are not getting this.
Jason Moore
I mean, he also was asked about whether he's going to get a lot of sleep over the next few days before he starts and answered it in the most weird fashion ever. I mean, no.
Mike Wright
What a dumb question.
Andy Holloway
Okay, that is a dumb question.
Jason Moore
I do think he didn't understand it. But we're here, we're here for Jameis. We want to see it happen. We can feel a little bit more confident in taking your shot at like Darius Slayton if he's active.
Mike Wright
Yeah. Slayton being limited with the hamstring because he kind of. He went in and out of.
Jason Moore
You know who else was limited was Parker Washington. We should have mentioned that in the news. I don't like hearing hamstring situations on Wednesday for either of those guys.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I do agree with that. But. But if Slayton goes he. While the matchup is tough, that doesn't matter to James Winston. He's going to go down the field. And now that is Darius Slayton's role. 4 for 89.
Jason Moore
We just bench the Giants.
Andy Holloway
No, no, I don't think so.
Jason Moore
I mean, this is Green Bay. We didn't. This is going to be a problem, dude. It's going to be a problem. I'm not playing Slayton.
Andy Holloway
I think Wondale and Slayton are both playable.
Mike Wright
Yeah.
Andy Holloway
This week.
Jason Moore
Okay. I guess I'm just. I'm less confident because I think Green Bay makes. Maybe makes these drives three and outs and you're not getting the production.
Mike Wright
Yeah. But you're going to get a lot of shots at it. Just takes one.
Andy Holloway
Exactly.
Mike Wright
Just takes one of those to connect.
Andy Holloway
It reminds me, I mean, obviously this. We saw this a couple years ago in. Or is it last year, Cleveland, when Jerry Judy and Cedric Tillman and everyone started going off. You know, it's like when Jameis comes in, he's going to throw the ball a billion times. I don't think he can. I don't think his green dot works on his helmet. I think he just goes in the huddle just like, all right, guys, here's what we're going to do.
Jason Moore
It would be nice if they weren't playing Green Bay, man.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I can agree with that.
Jason Moore
Jordan Love. It might work this week. Yeah, that's the highest possible. I mean, it did work three weeks ago. The offense looks kind of broken right now. They don't have, you know, you've got Romeo Dobbs that went out with a chest injury. Golden didn't play. You know, I like Watson the most right now on a week to week start basis and it should be okay for him in this one.
Mike Wright
Yeah. The route participation has been moving up to where we need to be. For Christian Watson, the danger of just any of the passing attack is defensive scoring. And I mean, normally I'm not very worried about that, but James is a pick six machine and if, if the one of those first two drives the Giants have you get a pick six, it's going to be demoralizing for your fantasy team.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, I'm not starting Jordan Love in this matchup.
Jason Moore
Wasn't he. Wasn't he the streamer Jordan Love. Did he come up on the streaming episode on waiver day? Okay, maybe that was just me thinking about him for a minute. Josh Jacobs of course. Tracy and Singletary. No thanks. I think. I think. No thanks.
Mike Wright
It's Tracy. The 16 opportunities last week.
Jason Moore
Non guy or Tracy?
Mike Wright
Tracy. I'll take the work.
Jason Moore
Chris Rodriguez or Tracy?
Mike Wright
Ooh, I think that's still Tracy.
Jason Moore
D. Markado or Tracy.
Mike Wright
That one D. Markado will get. I think he'll be a timeshare. Do we know if we heard on Bam Knight? Is he. Because Bam Knight got hurt. If it's down to just Michael Carter and D. Markato, I'm going to go.
Andy Holloway
These sound like personal questions.
Jason Moore
No, bottom of the barrel questions, but yes, they are personal. Cincinnati 3 and 6, Pittsburgh 5 and 4. Pittsburgh with the second highest implied point total of the week. The 5 and a half point home favorites, the overrunners 49 and a half. We already illuminated with the Justin Fields information earlier in the show how bad Cincinnati's defense is.
Andy Holloway
Yeah, I mean, if you want an example of how bad their defense is, I do. Second highest over under of the week or implied team total is the Steelers.
Jason Moore
Yeah, I mean, have you seen their offense?
Andy Holloway
They scored 10 points last week and.
Jason Moore
They'Re going to score more than that this week. A lot more.
Mike Wright
I mean, you have the Justin Fields example we gave. You can also just go, hey, Aaron Rodgers, in the last five weeks he has been a top 10 quarterback. One time he played the Bengals that week.
Jason Moore
Yeah, he's probably going to do it again.
Mike Wright
I mean, it's just the question is.
Jason Moore
He was a streamer, right? I mean he was the streamer on the Tuesday.
Mike Wright
Yes, Aaron Rodgers is in play as a streamer.
Jason Moore
Knew I had been part of that show.
Mike Wright
There we go. It's just. Where will the production go? The Cincinnati Bengals are. They're atrocious. We've been over. But they're. They're particularly bad against tight ends. And I think last time they played like everyone.
Jason Moore
John who Fryer Muth.
Mike Wright
Yeah, it's like John who Darnell? Johnnell had 10 points against the Bengals. Pat Fryermuth had. He was the tight end two that week. And then what? Did Darnell do something?
Andy Holloway
Yeah. Oh, yeah. He got a touchdown. He was.
Mike Wright
He did. He had a touchdown and left some.
Jason Moore
Huge footprints in the grass.
Mike Wright
So it's the. Will anything actually go to DK Metcalf or is it just going to go to all the tight ends?
Jason Moore
I mean, I play A.J. brown over Metcalf. I'd play Jameson Williams over Metcalf. I'd play Zay Flowers over Metcalf.
Mike Wright
Yeah, I get that.
Jason Moore
I play my sister over Metcalf.
Andy Holloway
Oh, I don't know. That's too.
Jason Moore
Is that too far? She won't score anything.
Andy Holloway
No, I don't think she's.
Mike Wright
I do very much enjoy you turning on DK Metcalf, though.
Jason Moore
Well, I. Look, if you don't throw him the football.
Mike Wright
Oh, and we won't.
Jason Moore
I mean. Jaylen Warren. We're in. Rogers is a streaming candidate. Flacco. Let's go. Chase Brown. Let's go. Jamar. Chase T. Higgins.
Andy Holloway
Uh huh.
Jason Moore
In the end of that matchup. Unless you have anything else to add, Jason.
Andy Holloway
Not really. I mean with that type of matchup, Calvin Austin could end up pass with a good game, but yeah, I'll pass on that.
Jason Moore
Bucky Irving seen, quote participating at practice again on Thursday.
Andy Holloway
That's great.
Jason Moore
