Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Big Week 8 Bye Week Decisions

• Six teams on bye: Jaguars, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Seahawks, Cardinals. This leads to challenging lineup holes for managers.
• Advice: "Most lineups, a flex spot is going to be a player you're not particularly comfortable with this week." (Andy, 12:56)

2. Injury Updates & News (04:41–12:33)

• Aaron Jones (hamstring) – “Trending towards playing,” but confidence is low for a full workload. Jordan Mason remains playable regardless.
• Lamar Jackson – Limited practice. “The more physical rest you can give him, the better.” (Mike, 09:06)
• Multiple WR DNPs: DJ Moore, DeAndre Swift, Cole Kmet, Calvin Ridley, Chris Olave all missed practice. Olave is expected to play but must be monitored.
• Brock Purdy – Limited with a toe.
• Christian Watson (Packers) – Expected back, plans to play.
• Kirk, Nico Collins – Questionable for Sunday; watch practice participation.
• Michael Penix Jr. – Limited with a knee, is a decent streamer.
• AJ Brown – DNP with hamstring, but Wednesday DNPs are often not concerning.

3. Starts of the Week (12:50–25:39)

Quarterback

• Justin Herbert: Confident Thursday start – "On pace for 4,632 passing touchdowns while doing something far more exciting that he doesn't usually do...career highs in rushing." (Jason, 13:24)
• Bo Nix: Despite slow starts, high over/under, good spot vs. Cowboys.
• Jordan Love: "Top four in pass success rate, this is not the Steelers defense we used to have. Wild, the quarterbacks are doing major work on Pittsburgh." (Andy, 16:02)

Running Back

• J.K. Dobbins: “Top 24 RB in six of seven weeks… clearly the leader of this offense.” (Mike, 16:50)
• Chase Brown: Bengals heavy favorite vs. Jets, receiving floor is “actually okay.” (Jason, 18:02)
• Jordan Mason: “Against the Chargers, a true run funnel... even if Aaron Jones is back, I like Jordan Mason to get into the end zone.” (Andy, 20:12)

Wide Receiver

• Rome Odunze: “Perfect matchup vs. Ravens; man coverage, high target share.” (Mike, 20:46)
• Courtland Sutton: “Not the safest floor, but strong ceiling in good matchups.” (Jason, 21:37)
• Chris Olave: “Only Chase has more targets... you have to throw on the Buccaneers.” (Andy, 22:10)

Tight End

• Harold Fannin: “If Njoku is out, Fannin has the fifth most targets and fourth most receptions among tight ends.” (Mike, 23:17)
• George Kittle: “If he’s active, he’s in your lineup.” (Mike, 24:14)
• Kate Otten, Tucker Kraft: Named as strong streamers given thin position and multiple injuries.

Notable quote:
"No quarterback in the history of the NFL has ever rushed for 450 yards while throwing for 4,632 touchdowns. So whether that happens or not, that's just what he's doing already." — Jason Moore on Justin Herbert (13:24)

4. Matchup & Fantasy Forecasts

Miami Dolphins vs. Atlanta Falcons (28:28–34:55)

• Falcons favored at home; defense very tough at home against all fantasy positions.
• Jalen Waddle: Questionable, monitoring injury after missing Wednesday session.
• Devon Achane: Elite play, “a machine” in both run and pass game.
• “Falcons D is #1 against tight ends, #2 against RBs, #3 vs QBs, #4 vs WRs. One of the most difficult matchups in fantasy.” (Mike, 34:33)

New York Jets vs. Cincinnati Bengals (34:55–39:01)

• Joe Flacco: Bengals now have two strong WRs for fantasy.
• “Jamar Chase and T. Higgins each have twice as many receptions and yards per game with Flacco as with Browning.” (Andy, 35:14)
• On Jets: “Travesty…Breece Hall is the only Jet you can play, and it’s not joyful.” (Andy, 38:14)
• Mason Taylor (Jets TE): Highlighted as a top streamer; Bengals are the worst defense vs TEs.

Cleveland Browns vs. New England Patriots (40:18–47:00)

• Rhamondre Stevenson: Still start, even in tough matchup. “If you get 75% of RB snaps for a 7pt home favorite, you play that.” (Andy, 43:30)
• Patriots WRs (Booty, Diggs) – Too risky, prefer other waiver options.
• Drake Maye: Plug and play QB, highly efficient and consistently strong.

New York Giants vs. Philadelphia Eagles (48:09–55:54)

• Jackson Dart: Rushing upside is elite, but concerns about sustainability and inefficiency vs. good Ds.
• Cam “Scatter Boo” Scataboo: “No chance you have a roster you can bench Scataboo on.” (Mike, 51:30)
• Wandale Robinson, Darius Slayton: Potential flex fliers, but transaction-only unless desperate.
• Saquon Barkley: No big plays this year, questionable ceiling. “Would you trade Cam Scataboo for Saquon? No, I want Scataboo.” (Mike, 54:45)

Buffalo Bills vs. Carolina Panthers (56:03–62:44)

• Bills heavy road favorites, and expected to dominate after back-to-back losses.
• James Cook: Still in play, but matchup tougher than in years past.
• Dalton Kincaid: Start if he plays. “Panthers are the matchup for tight ends. If Kincaid is out, you can stream Dawson Knox.”
• Panthers RBs (Dowdle, Chuba Hubbard): Dowdle has the higher upside, but Chuba sees more volume; hosts split on preference.
• Ted McMillan: Mike’s surprise start of the week. "[McMillan's] going to eat this week. He's my start of the week." (Mike, 62:44)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• On Cam Scataboo:
  “There's no chance that you have a roster that you can bench Cam Scataboo on any week.” — Mike, 51:30

For Listeners Who Missed the Episode

If you're scrambling to fill holes due to six byes, these are the confidence plays and waiver options the Ballers recommend. Quarterback streamers are more vital than ever—don't be afraid to start Justin Herbert or Jordan Love in great matchups, even after duds. Running backs like Cam Scataboo and Jordan Mason are almost set-and-forget, while understudies like Chase Brown and Ted McMillan can be week-winners in deeper formats. Emphasis is on monitoring late-week injuries (Olave, Waddle, Christian Kirk) and streaming tight ends in juicy spots (National Tight End Week!).

Closing Thought

"The only thing worse than a bad start, is not starting at all. So set your lineups with confidence, and remember—traditions matter…but winning matters more."

[Jason Moore]

I could look it up, but I'm not gonna.

Oh.

[Andy Holloway]

[Jason Moore]

I can dig it.

[Andy Holloway]

So there you are. Football tonight we're just one week removed from an incredible Thursday night game that nobody saw coming with the old men.

[Jason Moore]

Is Aaron Jones playing?

[Mike Wright]

I believe he will play. It is not a guarantee. He's trending towards playing currently listed as questionable. And I assume that a breaking news segment will interrupt me as I speak.

[Andy Holloway]

Do we convince him Realistic chance to return tonight.

[Jason Moore]

Let's. Let's.

[Andy Holloway]

Two hours ago.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Realistic chance to return. You don't like that? As a Jordan Mason manager I prefer it not.

[Jason Moore]

Mason is still playable with it. The first game back for Jones.

[Andy Holloway]

What if the. What if the man Aaron Jones just wants to. I think is that okay?

[Jason Moore]

Dude. The Vikings could use some help on special teams.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Maybe defense.

Let's talk some news.

[Mike Wright]

News and notes from around the league presented by Progressive Insur.

[Andy Holloway]

That means you also if you didn't listen to yesterday's show, Mike. Because you were playing Papa Bear at home.

[Mike Wright]

Hooky.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, you're playing hooky. You also missed. We gave the Falcon the opportunity to read the disclaimer for Progressive.

[Mike Wright]

I did exactly as you would expect.

[Jason Moore]

I can imagine.

[Andy Holloway]

Legal actually let me know that we can't do that anymore. Is that.

[Jason Moore]

Is that accurate?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Because it's not a formal disclaimer if the letters are all jumbled. Exactly.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. Those are big words.

[Andy Holloway]

Those are a lot of big words in succession.

[Jason Moore]

A lot of big official words there.

[Andy Holloway]

It was great. And then he did the mailbag as well to try to like kind of redeem it, which was worse.

[Mike Wright]

We had to memorize that though. We did not want him reading mailbag.

[Andy Holloway]

Because the mailbag drop those that are listening on the podcast. We. We made sure that your hearing wasn't damaged.

[Mike Wright]

To be fair, I was overruled. I Said not to edit it.

[Andy Holloway]

I felt like it was a danger.

[Mike Wright]

About drivers and people on the road. But if you. What you heard was not nearly as bad as what we heard.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, it was bad, Mike.

[Jason Moore]

No, I believe it.

[Andy Holloway]

Hassan Haskins, formally out for this evening.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, Silky, luscious locks. Vidal Sassoon.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Wait, what?

[Andy Holloway]

I. Luscious locks?

[Jason Moore]

No, no, no, no. It was the accent.

[Mike Wright]

I can't imagine that Vidal Sassoon is American. He's some kind of.

[Jason Moore]

Well, it might be. I mean, you're just of his.

[Andy Holloway]

Got a foreign accent like the one I just did.

[Mike Wright]

Clearly.

[Jason Moore]

He was from Austria with Arnold.

[Andy Holloway]

Vidal says soon Schwarzenegger.

[Mike Wright]

Let me wash your head.

[Andy Holloway]

So.

[Mike Wright]

Okay. Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Get to the bottom.

[Mike Wright]

Vidal Sassoon. Place of birth?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Hammersmith. London in the uk.

[Jason Moore]

Let's be very clear.

[Andy Holloway]

We did not for a min think that he was American.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

We just didn't think what you said made sense.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, do it again. But London.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, bad start, bad start. Okay, hold on. I gotta. I gotta get. I gotta get into my little lad. I gotta get into the.

[Jason Moore]

You gotta get English.

[Mike Wright]

I gotta get into the. The. The mood.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

The Queen's beans on toast.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Beans on toast. Luscious locks. Vidal Sassoon. There you go.

[Jason Moore]

All right. Dude, that was so British.

[Mike Wright]

Thank you.

[Jason Moore]

Thank you.

[Mike Wright]

It was very.

[Andy Holloway]

I like how you got into it, though.

[Mike Wright]

That was smart.

[Andy Holloway]

You gotta find your phrase.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I've heard people. They need the. The one phrase that can lock them in, right?

[Mike Wright]

Beans on toast. Beans on toast, Man. They eat some stupid food there.

[Jason Moore]

But I look at it. I understand that people are super disgusted by seeing it. I bet that thing rips those beans on that toast.

[Mike Wright]

I had it. Not bad. But they eat some stupid food. They eat some. I'm sorry for everyone that is in line there.

[Andy Holloway]

So you're an authority, right?

[Mike Wright]

Like, I'm pretty much. They eat some awful. They have. What's it called? It's like black. It's like blood sausage. Mm.

[Jason Moore]

Interesting.

[Mike Wright]

Disgusting.

[Jason Moore]

Sounds terrible.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, it's worse.

[Andy Holloway]

You like a lot of stuff?

[Mike Wright]

Oh, yeah. I eat garbage from the dumpster.

[Jason Moore]

That Vegemite is Australia.

[Andy Holloway]

Australian falcon.

[Jason Moore]

Good Lord, man. Read a book.

[Mike Wright]

Someone cut his slack off.

[Jason Moore]

My goodness.

[Mike Wright]

What does that mean?

[Andy Holloway]

All right, listen, I want to get back to Kamani Vidal because he's going to be alone, but I don't really love him tonight. Do you?

[Jason Moore]

Volume will be fine.

[Mike Wright]

I do think that both of these teams can be run on. So. Yeah, he's an okay play to me.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, I I mean top 20 type.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. All right. Aaron Jones, questionable with the hamstring, might return. Lamar Jackson returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. You know, I had told Jason yesterday we were talking about this, I think there was a lot of alarm that he hadn't practiced. But to me, when I think about my franchise quarterback recovering from a hamstring injury every day you get to rest it. Is it better situation for you playing well on Sunday and not re aggravating it. So.

[Mike Wright]

And it's not like he is the type of player that like, well, he's got to practice.

[Andy Holloway]

He needs a bunch of work to know the playbook.

[Mike Wright]

Right. He is clearly in charge of this offense, knows what he's doing. I think the more physical rest you can give him, the better.

[Andy Holloway]

DJ Moore, DeAndre Swift and Cole Comet all did not practice on Wednesday. We'll monitor those. Calvin Ridley did not practice. He had missed last week with the hamstring. Chris Olave did not practice.

[Mike Wright]

This one is a little bit more interesting. He's still reported that he's expected to play, but I want to pay attention to it and monitor it because it was like a late addition ankle injury.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah, it was. When I saw that, I kind of giggled. Not because I want him to be hurt, but because you and I had.

[Mike Wright]

Had a perspective in the shower this morning. I was like, if he misses, I'm going to re offer that trade.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, he had. Jason had been trying to trade for Marvin Harrison with some bigger pieces and then he hadn't realized that he wasn't going to have Marv this week. And then they. And Olave was a part of it.

[Jason Moore]

Do you ever have Marv?

[Andy Holloway]

No.

[Mike Wright]

No one has a question.

[Andy Holloway]

Brock Purdy limited on Wednesday with the toe injury. Ricky Pierce all did not practice. Ricky, I wanted to make like Pearsall was in the finalists for second half sleeper. I like that because I'm like he's been forgotten completely. He was leading the league in receiving yardage before the injury. But also like Ricky Pearsall's story in the NFL and I'm not talking about the shooting, of course, talking about after that. It's been a lot of injury like that has been a problem. So we'd love to see him back out there, but nobody's really stepping up. Like if Kendrick Bourne can come off the street and put up 100 plus yards in back to back weeks, it's right there for Pearsall.

[Jason Moore]

I agree.

[Andy Holloway]

But he's got to get back. Josh Downs limited on Wednesday with a concussion. We think he'll be back. We don't know. Christian Watson said, quote my plan is to play.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Okay, this makes sense. He basically has to right. His 21 day window was opened two weeks ago so I think if he doesn't play this week, he can't play.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, then his plan should be to play.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Week eight against the Steelers. Watson should be back. Nico Collins Christian Kirk didn't practice. Kirk missed a week. Nico with the concussion will be watching that. Normally with the protocol you got to practice kind of on Friday to get back for Sunday. Michael Pinnick Jr. Ltd. With a knee. I thought he had a foot or toe situation.

[Mike Wright]

I think it was always the knee.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

But yeah, he's at home this week and is a decent streamer if he's active.

[Andy Holloway]

I think I might have added him as my like starting quarterback in place of Jaden Daniels this week. I mean it is Jaden Daniels being out just adds to the bi week situation. Making it harder.

[Mike Wright]

Really stinks that he's a Monday Night Football.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean would you rather play Michael Pennish Jr. Or Mariota in place of Jaden with the running?

[Mike Wright]

The matchup is not good. The weapons are not good. So like Mario for Mariota I have the exact same the listener league. I've got Jaden Daniels and I was trying to make that decision of like so I went after Mariota was there and I was like I'm going to prefer Flacco over him. I won't know on Sunday so I'm going to have to start somebody and I, I don't want to run Mariota without weapons and a tough matchup.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Yeah, makes sense. Any other news we have AJ Brown didn't practice due to a hamstring injury.

[Mike Wright]

It's new news. We'll keep monitoring most Wednesday not practicing Things are just completely like I irrelevant to me. I don't pay much attention to them.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, that was news and notes sponsored by Progressive Insurance quote [e-mail] Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third party insurers not available in all states or situations Coverage subject to policy terms, limits and conditions. Let's get into the starts.

[Mike Wright]

Starts of the week presented by U.S. bank.

[Andy Holloway]

Are confidence plays this week all the more important with six teams on by I imagine most lineups a flex spot is going to be a player you're not particularly comfortable with this week. A lot of like I said quarterbacks taking the week off. Six teams on by. Your opponent's probably in the same situation. We want to give you some confidence plays let's start at quarterback, guys. Jason, you want to take it away?

[Jason Moore]

Sure.

[Mike Wright]

I'm going to do something I don't usually do. I don't love doing starts of the week on Thursday Night Football. I did it last week with Jalen Warren. It worked out all right. I'm going to do it again tonight. At quarterback. Justin Herbert, I think, is a great play this week. He's the quarterback, four on the season. He's putting up ridiculous numbers. He's on pace right now for 4,632 passing touchdowns while doing something far more exciting that he doesn't usually do. He's on pace for career highs and rushing to 73 rushing attempts for 452 yards. No quarterback in the history of the NFL has ever rushed for 450 yards while throwing for 4,632 touchdowns. So whether that happens or not, that's just what he's doing already. And the Chargers, they currently rank third in passing rate over expectations. So in those neutral game scripts, what are they doing? I know that it's very low T. It's low T. But it's, you know, it's. It's high H. It's putting the ball in Justin Herbert's hand. Yeah, it was a. It was a Herbert Harbaugh. Whatever.

[Jason Moore]

Okay?

[Mike Wright]

The quarterbacks, they. They are. The strength of this team right now is to pass the ball. They have great weapons. You know, they've got four legitimate great weapons. And that's not even counting my dude, Trey Harris, who is awesome and will someday be awesome. The Vikings are a pretty good past defense, but they do rank 24th and schedule adjusted fantasy points given up to the quarterback position. So I think you could start Justin Herbert this week.

[Jason Moore]

I'm going. Bo Nicks, baby. We're taking on the Dallas Cowboys. It's what we want. It's the highest over under the wings.

[Mike Wright]

I'm taking the Denver Broncos, baby.

[Andy Holloway]

You don't need to say anything.

[Jason Moore]

Well, I'll add a couple.

[Andy Holloway]

We should have.

[Mike Wright]

We should have.

[Jason Moore]

There's a lot of Broncos in this section.

[Mike Wright]

I was going to say we should just literally every Thursday have a start of the week as whatever team is playing the Cowboys start all of.

[Andy Holloway]

Unless it's Bill.

[Jason Moore]

No.

[Mike Wright]

What?

[Andy Holloway]

Mike. Mike.

[Mike Wright]

Did we get a new. Did we finally. We didn't finalize.

[Jason Moore]

I was going with the. I was going with the sad shoulder shrug, though.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm just a bill.

[Jason Moore]

Cowboys, 31st in yards per pass attempt. Dead last in adjusted completion percentage. Dead last. And schedule adjusted fantasy points to the quarterback position it might take until the fourth quarter with the way that the Broncos and Bo Nicks have been playing. But good news, there's a fourth quarter.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, no bonix. Got to follow that up. Jason doesn't like it but this is the week for me.

[Jason Moore]

What do we got?

[Mike Wright]

But Christian Watson helps Jordan Love.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm going to go start of the week. Jordan Love at Pittsburgh. You have to pick your spots with him. He has a. He's had a lack of true blow up games this year and it's masked how efficient and good he's been at quarterback. And we've talked about this at length yesterday he was my second half sleeper. 15 yards per attempt right now 4th and pass success rate number one unexpected points per drop back. You know this is not the Steelers defense that we used to have. Just asked Jason. He had negative one points from them last week. 31st in passing yards per game allowed, 31st in schedule adjusted fantasy points wild. The quarterbacks are doing major work on Pittsburgh and Christian wants to coming back. Jordan Love, he has played well. They just haven't asked him to do as much. Still dealing with the recovery of injury for Josh Jacobs. We'll see what happens in this one. But I like Jordan Love, especially on a week with so many buys.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I'm going to go with J.K. dobbins. We talked about it. He played Dallas, the Broncos. I mean J.K. dobbins, he has been good, had a disappointing week but he's been top 24 running back in six of seven weeks so far. The only guys that can claim that right now are Dobbins, Josh Jacobs, scatter Boo A Chan, Bijan, CMC and Jonathan Taylor.

[Andy Holloway]

That was a pretty long list. But it's a long list of a lot of people.

[Mike Wright]

But it's only like Jonathan Taylor, the stud of studs. Christian McCaffrey, the stud of studs. Yeah, Bijan stud of studs. Bijan Robinson is the stud of studs.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, what do you think?

[Mike Wright]

One minute a chance. Scatter Boo Jacobs. My point is all those guys are like you don't even question. You don't think should I start, should I pivot to someone? And then there's Dobbins who's there with them and he's been really good. He is clearly the leader of this offense. The Denver offensive line is outstanding. The Dallas defensive line is outstanding for the other team. So they're giving up everything to everyone other than Bill. I am going to start J.K. dobbins, no problem.

[Jason Moore]

And I'm going with Chase Brown against the Jets. Okay with the matchup. It's not great.

[Andy Holloway]

However we are second half sleeper for Jason.

[Mike Wright]

We.

[Jason Moore]

I like it because we're chasing a heavy home favorite here. The Bengals currently 6 and a half point home favorites and the receiving floor. It's actually okay where we had the eighth most targets at the running back position and Joe Flacco. I don't know how much you dove into because I wasn't here for the show of second half sleepers that I had. But the.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes, he was but he was on both of our list as like not our main names. But you and I both had him on our.

[Jason Moore]

Flacco.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes. Flacco as the.

[Jason Moore]

My.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

My belief in Joe Flacco is at a. An insane and irrational point right now of like I, I picked him up as a backup. I have Bo Nix this week and for league of record I picked up Joe Flacco. I spent over $10 of fab just to make sure that because. Because no other person's crazy enough to spend 10 bucks of your fab on Joe Flacco, especially when you're not starting him. But the, the schedule for the Cincinnati Bengals moving forward is ridiculous in terms of schedule adjusted points to the quarterback positions. I, I think that. And then. And that trickles over to Chase Brown of course. Just saying I wanted to get my piece and of. Of where I am with Joe Flacco and it's, it's. It's frightening to believe in such an old man with such a bad offensive line.

[Andy Holloway]

Mike Tomlin doesn't come out and get angry about situations like this very often. I think he knew what we're knowing.

[Mike Wright]

Now that he's so calm, cool and collected and he was so pissed. He was so pissed about.

[Andy Holloway]

He knew what it meant to get Flacco more than we knew.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

All right, Mike.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, speaking of Tomlin and the Steelers, we mentioned yesterday that the Aaron Rodgers was going to Green Bay. This game is in Pittsburgh.

[Andy Holloway]

Yes.

[Jason Moore]

Well, we don't know. Maybe he's going to do like just a little round trip flight just to check in and then go back to the game.

[Andy Holloway]

A little typo over on this side of things. So sorry about that. At symbol we had wondered if he was going to get booed. Aaron Rodgers probably not going to get booed at home.

[Mike Wright]

Well, I think he'll be cheered. Unless. Yeah. I mean if he's not impossible.

[Andy Holloway]

It's not Mike, you'll be happy. Jordan Mason is my start of the week. It's play against the Chargers a True run funnel. We refute. We reviewed that yesterday on the show. Both teams are the same in that regard. But 29th and yards before contact. The Chargers over the last six weeks, the 28th best in fantasy points allowed to running backs. Jordan Mason is going to get the majority of the work even if Aaron Jones is back. I like the almost upset and I like Jordan Mason to get into the end zone maybe twice in this game, maybe two times. We'll see.

[Mike Wright]

That'd be a lot. My wide receiver start of the week Roma Dunes. He is coming off of a couple of disappointing weeks. Wide Receiver 58 Wide Receiver 63 but this last week the Bears had easy work. They ran the ball like 700 times. They didn't need to throw it that much. They were in the lead this game against Baltimore and I'm hoping that Lamar is active. I still think he will be. They need him desperately. There's a 49 and a half point over under in the game. That's awesome. The Ravens are beat up on defense. They're 28th and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to wide receivers and they play man coverage 39% of the time, which is the third highest rate in the NFL. Rome is great there. 35% target share, fourth highest in the NFL at that coverage. I think this is a perfect matchup for Roma Dunes. If I've got him and I'm questioning they need weeks in a row, I absolutely plug him in.

[Jason Moore]

I'm stacking my Denver Bo Nicks. I'm going with Cortland Sutton and I really just want to highlight like it has not been this. The floor has been low, but the ceiling has been pretty good here for Cortland Sutton, one of four wide receivers this year with five or more weeks of 13 or more fantasy points. You're, you know, JSN, Puka, Amon RA, Cortland Sutton and the you obviously those guys are plug and play. Sutton may not be there yet, but in the right matchups, you put him in and you take that ceiling.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I am confident he'll be back out there and I want to highlight how good he's been. Chris Olave against Tampa Bay, two touchdowns last week. Only Jamar Chase has more targets than Chris Olave on the season. Only Pickens and Devonte Adams have more end zone targets, which seems hard to believe. Like it's been a functional offense for New Orleans at times and so you have to throw on the Buccaneers. That's, that's going to be the game plan. Camara's been banged up. They Just lost Kendra Miller. They're 24th in yards per attempt allowed. The Buccaneers. That's how you beat them. Monitor the injury. That was a surprise yesterday. But the fact that Nick Underhill, the most trusted beat writer in New Orleans, instantly said he's expected to play on Sunday. I'm going to keep him in there for today.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. At tight end, this one is depending on David Najoku. But I do not believe Najoku plays this week. And if that's the case, I will be plugging Harold Fannin into my starting lineup. Through seven weeks, he has the fifth most targets and the fourth most receptions among all Titans. You might not realize this because he hasn't been getting in the end zone. Dylan Gabriel isn't good enough to throw touchdowns, but he's on a 17 game pace of 78 for 704 yards. There's literally in the history of the NFL, Bowers, LaPorta and Shockey, Jeremy Shockey going back, those are the guys who have hit 70 and 700. And now you have David Najoku, who is in his own right on pace for 65 and 600, who is probably not going to play. I think Harold Fannin is great. The Patriots are a fine matchup. They don't, they don't like, they're not one of those perfect matchups for a tight end that can't guard them, but they are just average. They don't shut down the tight end position. They've allowed the 8th most receiving yards to tight ends this year. So Harold Fannin, you know, if Najoku's out, definitely start him. And then if he's not out, my start of the week, look, I would, I would double down from what I did last week. The goose of George Kittle. You're still playing George Kittle every week. If he's active, he's in your lineup.

[Jason Moore]

This is a brutal tight end start of the week layout and schedule for us. Like I said, when you miss one day, you don't always know what's going on. But I had Juwan. I liked him. I liked that the business was back. We had seven targets, five for 79 targeted on 23% of his routes. And then I've been doing a little quick checking. Apparently was in a red context. No contact again yesterday.

[Andy Holloway]

Do you want to just hop on the back of my start of the week?

[Mike Wright]

Just go?

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, please.

[Andy Holloway]

Want to just join and rock a little? Tucker Kraft against Pittsburgh.

[Jason Moore]

You know how I feel about Tucker Craft?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Throwing Kate Otten.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Kate Otten's a great start this week. Sure.

[Jason Moore]

Kate Otten start of the week.

[Andy Holloway]

Nice.

[Jason Moore]

Who's he playing? Who knows?

[Mike Wright]

New Orleans.

[Andy Holloway]

I think it's I think it's best to like Juwon Johnson is unfortunately entirely capable of giving you a great week at any moment, but also entirely capable of being historical Juwan Johnson.

[Jason Moore]

So this week is solid.

[Andy Holloway]

But if he's not.

[Jason Moore]

But if, obviously if he can't play, then he's not.

[Andy Holloway]

No, he'll score less if he doesn't play. Tucker Craft against Pittsburgh. He has been a beast Yards after the catch again two years in a row. Steelers giving up the fifth most to the tight end position and it is the other side of the Jordan Love start of the week. So that will conclude, I think all of our starts of the week. Unless somebody got hurt.

[Jason Moore]

We'll find some in a matter of.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, the Bills and Ravens come back from the bye week. The Cardinals.

[Jason Moore]

Half the NFL goes onto the bye week.

[Andy Holloway]

Jaguars, Lions, Raiders, Rams, Seahawks, all taking the week off.

[Mike Wright]

How happy are you that the Cardinals are Off this week.

[Andy Holloway]

It's a relief.

[Mike Wright]

I just love the fact that on Sunday I don't have to watch.

[Andy Holloway]

No, it's. It's good. It's nice. They should take more by weeks, honestly. I think Al said the other day when we were talking about it moving to 18 games and then maybe two buys. Why can't we just. Can we just take a week off of football?

[Mike Wright]

Like the whole league, like the machine.

[Jason Moore]

The money printing machine. Take a week off.

[Mike Wright]

They don't turn money printers off.

[Jason Moore]

Right.

[Mike Wright]

The reason they're going to 18 weeks is for more money.

[Jason Moore]

It is not for player safety.

[Mike Wright]

No.

[Jason Moore]

It's not for quality of life for these guys. It is so they can make more money.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, they probably won't do that, huh?

[Mike Wright]

No.

[Andy Holloway]

Miami one in six. The Falcons, they'll do like an in.

[Jason Moore]

They'll go NBA, there'll be an in season tournament.

[Mike Wright]

What a stupid.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, that's, that's where I was going to actually. I was going to joke about those like Pro bowl games moving to like that week. But then it's like that's not a bye week for players if they have to do stuff. So. Yeah, they won't turn it off. All right. Miami one in six taking on the three and three Atlanta Falcons where they're cozy in their nest at home. The Vegas line. Atlanta minus bird joke. It was a bird joke. Yeah, it was. It was a bird bird nest joke. Right. Atlanta minus seven and a half. The over, unders 44 and a half. The end for Mike McDaniel is. It's coming. It's coming.

[Jason Moore]

I thought it was supposed to be last week.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean it's about time. It's about timing now.

[Jason Moore]

Okay, so we'll see. I don't know why my voice just cracked.

[Mike Wright]

You're going to find hair.

[Jason Moore]

Well, yeah. There's a time in your life going to be a lot of changes.

[Andy Holloway]

There's a comedian whose voice does that constantly and it's really funny. It's like all his rants are like a prepubescent boy rants. The second week in a row, lefty, lefty. Michael Pinnicks Jr. To a turned the ball over match. And we just talked about it. The Falcons have just been so much better at home. At home, Michael Penix Jr. Is averaging 287 passing yards. Yeah, they are three and three. I'm guessing they had three games at home. They have had trouble on the road. Yeah, Kyle's confirming that is the case. You know, Mike McDaniel was the offensive assistant over they did lose Atlanta.

[Jason Moore]

They did lose week one at home and then one on the road against Minnesota.

[Mike Wright]

They lost by three points at home to the Tampa Bay buccaneers in Week 1 in A. In a close game where their defense still looked very, very good. But at home they beat the Commanders, they beat the Buffalo Bills. They look outstanding. And then on the road they got shellacked by the Vikings, they got shut out by the Panthers and then pretty.

[Jason Moore]

Much owned by the Niners. The Vikings.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, that's right. That's right. They won that game. The opposite.

[Jason Moore]

It's a hot Thursday.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

So 22 to 6 that at symbol.

[Andy Holloway]

So for. Hey, by the way, we didn't misread the at symbol. We just.

[Mike Wright]

We read it.

[Andy Holloway]

Read the one put in the doc. That's what we did. And then we talked about it way too much. What did you think of Darnell Mooney last week?

[Mike Wright]

I was very upset by him because.

[Jason Moore]

He was three for 68.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, no.

[Andy Holloway]

I thought he looked really good.

[Mike Wright]

That was what was upsetting Drake London.

[Jason Moore]

Which hurts Drake.

[Mike Wright]

Yes. That Drake London is who this offense needs to run through. He has obviously put up some outstanding weeks recently. You know, two weeks ago, 16 targets, 10 for 158. Mooney was back.

[Jason Moore]

He still had 28% of the targets. It just.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Just didn't work. It didn't work out as well. He had somewhere else to go to be frank. Mooney should have been a talked about more on the waiver wire show. He's a valuable wide receiver that will get work when he's active in the right matchups. This one might not be the perfect matchup because I don't think the Dolphins offense is going to do much. They're. They're beat up, they're banged up. And the Falcons defense at home has been great. They're number two against quarterback. So I don't think two is going to put up a bunch of points. In which case great bijon game. Less passing for the Falcons is my expectation.

[Andy Holloway]

Beat up is. Is more severe than banged up. Like on the scale.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, for sure. If you're banged up, you got a hurt toe. If you're beat up, you're bruised and battered. Yeah. You're in a walking boot.

[Jason Moore]

Okay. That's booted up.

[Andy Holloway]

Right. Which Bryce Young was not booted up this year. Did you see that? But I did didn't practice play B John still play Drake London. Kyle Pitts on pace for 85 receptions. He is certainly fine on a 16 by week.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. This week it's okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Tua. I mean, this offense. Where are you with Waddle right now? I mean, I feel like, you know, you came out after the injury. He was the wide receiver 4, I believe, and then the wide receiver 17. And then last week it was just kind of, you know, it's Cleveland. It was on the road and it was a disaster from the jump. I feel like Waddle, bad weather. I feel like you don't want to. Yeah, bad weather. I don't. I feel like you don't want to overreact to. Look, you got to play four quarters of football and Jalen Waddle's their best wide receiver.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, Waddle's a great play. My only worry with him was injury because, you know, he. He left that game. There was reports that he was injured. Looking at the Week 8 injury report from the Dolphins, he is not. You know, he wasn't even listed on the Wednesday. So he seems fully healthy and good to go.

[Jason Moore]

Well, let's see. I'm seeing a tweet here from Omar Kelly.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, yeah, he's. He's one of the best.

[Jason Moore]

And he says this is six minutes ago. Jalen Waddle didn't work with the wide receivers while the offense was out there. Today he was doing a rehab assignment, which means he's battling an injury. Yeah, that was six minutes ago.

[Andy Holloway]

Wow.

[Mike Wright]

He was not on their injury report yesterday. So that's. That's wild.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. That's about Waddle for you. Devon HN is one of three players in the NFL this year with 400 plus rushing yards, 200 plus receiving yards. CMC Bijan HN. He's a machine.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, he's been awesome.

[Andy Holloway]

And you know that you don't mess around with anybody else. Darren Waller went to IR and tua. You know, I could. I'd start nobody over two, which would get me two and a half more fantasy points than he scored last week.

[Mike Wright]

Wait, did to a really have negative two and a half?

[Andy Holloway]

That is correct. That is correct.

[Mike Wright]

Wow.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. To a head in our league. Negative 2.9. He was 12 for 100 with three interceptions. He also fumbled the ball three times.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, it's pretty amazing.

[Andy Holloway]

That's hard to do.

[Jason Moore]

And yet through all that, Achan still managed to score over 11 points against.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Against Cleveland. So he's. He's still. He's matchup.

[Mike Wright]

It's pretty. Yeah. I mean, Achan is. Is a great play. Waddle TBD on the injury, I guess. And then that's it for the Falcons or for the. For the Dolphins. The Falcons defense right now if you adjust for schedule, they are number one against tight ends, number two against running backs, number three against quarterbacks, number four against Wide receivers are one of the most difficult matchups in fantasy.

[Andy Holloway]

The New York jets are oh and seven. They get to take on the Cincinnati Bengals. The resurgent Bengals Vegas line Cincinnati minus six and a half at home over unders 44 and a half. Here comes our hero, Joe Flacco. Jamar Ch. I mean, T. Higgins was the name we brought up on the second half sleeper list yesterday. You know, Sauce Gardner's not even playing in this game. Most likely dealing with a concussion. If he plays, you know, it doesn't really change how I'm starting and sitting these guys the way that the jets defense has played this year. You know, Joe Flacco is a streaming candidate. 45 plus pass attempts in both of his starts. It's like the numbers are really profound and we were trying not to knee jerk reaction this and say it was just going to become, you know, so much better with Joe Flacco, who struggled immensely in Cleveland. Like Flacco wasn't doing anything in Cleveland to provide fantasy value for anybody. But so far, Jamar, Chase and T. Higgins each have two times as many receptions per game and receiving yards per game with Flacco than Browning.

[Jason Moore]

It reminds me more of the, what was it, two years ago, Joe Flacco experience, where he was on the Browns, where he was surrounded by a good team like that, that offense. It wasn't just Joe Flacco. It was, he had, he had, you know, Amari Cooper was, was not washed out yet. So that, that's where I'm like, oh man, it sure seems like this is something that we're going to want to buy into.

[Andy Holloway]

It does occasionally wear off.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

When stuff like this happens. But I mean, literally, that's like getting eight quarters of Chase and Higgins with Browning for the production that Flacco is giving them on the other side, I mean, you already talked about Chase Brown at length. So to conclude the Cincinnati side and you play both wide receivers and it's pretty, pretty easy on that side, but on, on the jet side, it's just.

[Jason Moore]

A complete poof, man.

[Andy Holloway]

Travesty. I mean, yeah, they're trying to keep a competitive advantage. Mike, you've got the new what the.

[Jason Moore]

Budget magician, Aaron Glenn, my guy, I'm trying.

[Mike Wright]

He literally came out and said it was an advantage.

[Jason Moore]

Like, I want to like Aaron Glenn. I really like the dance of just. I know they ended up losing that game, but it was like the passion I just. I love it. He's with his guys and it has been a disaster. And then you go to one of. One of my most hated situations in football. The. Oh, we have a competitive advantage. We don't know if it's oh, oh, guys. Is it Justin Fields or Tyrod Taylor? The Bengals don't care.

[Andy Holloway]

I kind of get it.

[Mike Wright]

I would get it if they were different styles of play.

[Andy Holloway]

They are very different styles of play. Tyrod and Justin Fields, massively different styles of play.

[Jason Moore]

There is one.

[Andy Holloway]

Justin Fields is a genuine threat in the running game. Tyrod Taylor is a pocket passer. So to me, those are.

[Jason Moore]

Taylor doesn't run as much as Fields. Just they both. One of them is like compost garbage and then the other one is just the garbage you can't put in.

[Mike Wright]

Which one is in the compost?

[Jason Moore]

I don't know.

[Mike Wright]

It doesn't matter.

[Andy Holloway]

They're both.

[Jason Moore]

They both stink.

[Andy Holloway]

There you go. So it's probably going to be to Rod Taylor this week. Breeze hall was limited on Wednesday with the knee injury. Breeze hall is.

[Jason Moore]

He's the only guy you can play.

[Andy Holloway]

You can play him, but it's not with a lot of joy.

[Mike Wright]

I think. I know that it's going to be very difficult off of a bust week, but I actually think Mason Taylor is Meowson Taylor. Last week he had a good matchup against Carolina. They're 29th against tight ends and it didn't work out. He was like three for 30 something. It was unfortunate. Justin Fields played as bad as you can play. I believe to Rod Taylor will be the starter this week. We don't know. But regardless, Mason Taylor is needed. The Cincinnati Bengals are the worst of the worst. They are the. They are the matchup where you target tight ends always. And the fact that he is so needed here. I think Mason Taylor.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think that's wrong. I think that's right and I think this is.

[Jason Moore]

I get it. But I will remind you, you laid it out. Taylor meow had a good matchup last week. Fields was terrible. Taylor played 54% of the snaps last week for the Jets.

[Andy Holloway]

Like, no, that's not true. That's not 93%. Yeah, 93% of snaps. I think you must be looking at a wrong number. Okay, I've got 93% for.

[Jason Moore]

No. Oh, no, no, no.

[Andy Holloway]

You're saying quarterback, not Mason. I thought you're saying, oh, no, no, no.

[Jason Moore]

Mason played the whole game. I'm saying.

[Andy Holloway]

You're saying he had a game.

[Jason Moore]

Fields was terrible and we want to Put all the blame on Fields. Taylor played half the game at quarterback and Taylor was still the other Taylor. There's too many Taylor's.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I Bet Mason Taylor's 3 for 31 came in that half, though. It did.

[Andy Holloway]

It did. He was shut out. No, I.

[Mike Wright]

And Garrett Wilson and that's a fine play.

[Andy Holloway]

Are you playing Garrett Wilson? If he's active, yeah.

[Jason Moore]

If he's active, he's too good of a player.

[Mike Wright]

Especially in this matchup against.

[Andy Holloway]

Would you play a ronde Gadson tonight or would you play Mason Taylor?

[Jason Moore]

I would play Gadson. Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I think I would too.

[Mike Wright]

I would. I'm going to chase the dragon. I'm really hopeful for Gadson.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, and you don't have to watch the Jets.

[Mike Wright]

That is such an advantage.

[Andy Holloway]

Cleveland's 2 and 5. They take on the New England Patriots, who are 5 and 2. The Vegas line is New England minus 7. The over under is 40 and a half. I was doing a live stream last night and somebody was like, why is Mike Vrabel so stupid? I said. And I said he's not.

[Jason Moore]

He's not.

[Andy Holloway]

He's not stupid. I said it would be a discussion.

[Jason Moore]

He is stubborn, though.

[Andy Holloway]

He's. He can. I mean, is it stubbornness or is it good coaching when you're 5 and 10? Coaching when you're 5 and 2. And if you're 2 and 5, we can have the discussion about the coaching. Totally fine. You know, if you have a bad running game and you're 2 and 5, you're making a mistake. If you're 5 and 2 and it's working, you're not. So get over it.

[Jason Moore]

It's just get over it.

[Andy Holloway]

Travion is not going to be the dude right now. If an injury happens, maybe he's the dude. If Ramon Dre fumbles six more times in a game, maybe he's the dude for a little bit.

[Mike Wright]

If whatever they're waiting for in practice starts happening and they give him the ball more, he'll. He will be there when he should be there. Vrabel is a great coach. Whatever's going on behind the scenes is not. Trayvon is not ready yet. If I'm in a dynasty league. I talked about this on the dynasty show that came out yesterday. I'm. I'm taking my second round pick for next year and I'm offering them to every league for Travion. Henderson is a. Is a good player who's on what will now be a good team going forward. Is not his time yet.

[Andy Holloway]

No. And if he had Been drafted by the Bears with the next pick. It might have been his time.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man, that world would have been glorious.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Yeah. So the Vegas line, New England minus seven at home over under 40 and a half in this one. It is Cleveland and Dylan Gabriel trying to get through the New England Patriots. That'll be hard. I mean, the Cleveland defense was unbelievable last week. I don't feel like we really.

[Mike Wright]

All season we.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't feel like we really said much about them. Like, it was all the storyline was how bad Tua was. Right. And it's like, oh, Dylan Gabriel doesn't throw the ball down the field. They demolished the Dolphins.

[Mike Wright]

It was 31 to 6.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, it was. They were one of the highest scoring fantasy football defenses. It's not going to be easy for New England to score in this game.

[Jason Moore]

I agree.

[Andy Holloway]

They will win. I think they will win, but it's not going to be, you know, I don't think it's one of those. Fire up all of your Patriots with excitement.

[Mike Wright]

I don't know who. I don't know.

[Jason Moore]

Your boy Drake May.

[Mike Wright]

No.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, my boys. Ramondre.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, you know, you too, your boys. You two love Ramondre.

[Mike Wright]

No, no, no, no, no, no. Why are you loping me in with the Indy?

[Jason Moore]

No, it's too late.

[Mike Wright]

I see the.

[Jason Moore]

We drew a line in the sand. The Hendo people said if you're not with us, you're on Ramondre side.

[Mike Wright]

There is a huge fence, Mike. This is the great wall of China that I'm standing. I'm standing on the great wall of China, Ramon. Dre is over there. Henderson's over there. I am straight up on that fence and it's a big one.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, it was easy last week playing Andy's guy, Ramon. I mean, look, he had 18. 18 opportunities last week, sure. Or 20 opportunities, 18 carries against the Tennessee Titans. You're not going to.

[Mike Wright]

The Browns are the number one schedule adjusted defense against running backs. I am looking to not play Ramondre.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't think you get a choice this week. It's probably perfect. It's perfect for Ramandre. You will. You don't want to play him. But if you're going to get 75% of running back snaps for an at home team that's a seven and a half point favorite.

[Mike Wright]

Heck yes.

[Andy Holloway]

You play that.

[Mike Wright]

Would you play Ramondre or Aaron Jones if he's active tonight?

[Andy Holloway]

Ramondre, I think.

[Jason Moore]

What about.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, you're going Aaron Jones.

[Jason Moore]

I would go command like Woody Marks against San Francisco. Who took over the opportunity?

[Mike Wright]

I Would not.

[Andy Holloway]

I'm playing Ramandre.

[Jason Moore]

You know, he was 14 opportunities two weeks ago for 1.8 fantasy.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, I know it. I know it. Absolutely. And it was against New Orleans. They haven't been home in three weeks.

[Jason Moore]

But he's the equivalent of the Cleveland targets is like his opportunities. You got to just cut him 50% and that's what you should expect.

[Mike Wright]

And then you go, wow, he was inefficient.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't care about if the fantasy points put him in the top 20 like they've done for two of the last three weeks. I don't care how he does it. Yeah, if it's, if it's a falling into the end zone, if it's a screen pass, that works out. I just don't. I don't understand what team you have out there in the world where you can bench a starting running back at home as seven and a half point favorites and play a flyer.

[Jason Moore]

I'll play an empty spot.

[Andy Holloway]

Well, I know you will. Although you just said you play him over Aaron Jones. I don't know what's happening. I do think, you know, Booty's been good. He's. There's just. I feel better about him making a big play than I do about accumulation via Stefan Diggs in this game, but I don't know if that's the right thought. So you tell me.

[Jason Moore]

The Booty has been very efficient. Last week it was. He had 55 yards.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, hey, on two catches and.

[Jason Moore]

Not just two catch is two targets.

[Andy Holloway]

You know, a touchdown. The.

[Jason Moore]

The two weeks ago, five targets. That's his. That's the second most targets he's seen all year.

[Andy Holloway]

So do you. Are you out on the wide receiver?

[Jason Moore]

I think I prefer. I prefer to be out.

[Mike Wright]

If I had to start one, it would still be Diggs. Diggs has had seven or more targets in three of the last four games. I think he's the one. Personally, I would like to bench my Patriots in this matchup. I do. You know, I really like that they are at home. That will be helpful. But the Browns, the Browns defense is legitimately scary.

[Jason Moore]

Matthew golden against Pittsburgh or a Patriot wide receiver?

[Andy Holloway]

Golden.

[Jason Moore]

Golden.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. That's a good question. By the way, Drake May right now is 116.4 pass rating, which would be the highest ever he has been by a quarterback under 24.

[Mike Wright]

So on the, on the Dynasty show, I did, I did my film review of Drake May and I don't think I've seen better film. Like, there's not no way he could do better than what he did on every single play.

[Jason Moore]

Not true.

[Andy Holloway]

He completed 12 of his last 13 passes of 20 plus yards. It means he missed one.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

Could have done that better.

[Mike Wright]

Wasn't his fault.

[Andy Holloway]

Probably not.

[Mike Wright]

If you want to play Drake May, whatever, do it. He's going to. He's going to run the ball. You know he had 62 rushing yards last year.

[Andy Holloway]

Michael Pinnock's at home. Drake May.

[Jason Moore]

Drake May.

[Mike Wright]

I would go Drake May.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. How do you go away from that? Yeah, Their implied point total is 23.8.

[Jason Moore]

I get the matchup. Drake May is Drake Mays just in.

[Andy Holloway]

Play him forever.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah. He's plug and play.

[Andy Holloway]

Judkins in, log out. Judkins and fan and log out.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

Yep.

[Mike Wright]

If Najoku is not going, obviously Fanon pretty good matchup.

[Andy Holloway]

And if Najoku's back, you're off of Fannin.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. If Najoku's back, they split too much. I mean, you've got two tight ends on pace for over 60 receptions at over 600 yards. That's incredible for a tight end on a team. But if they're both doing that, then neither is special.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, we'll take a break and get into the next the second Giants Philly matchup.

[Andy Holloway]

This is the undisputed champion of vacations book [e-mail] Big time, best time, all the time. Come seek the Royal Caribbean. While the New York Giants will attempt to recover from the most devastating loss imaginable. They are 2 and 5 and their recovery plan is to go to Philadelphia and take on the five and two Eagles who are seven and a half point home favorites over unders 43 and a half. You know, the Giants had the very impressive 3417 victory. It was the coming out party for Scatterboo and Jackson Dart. It was two weeks ago and it was in New York.

[Jason Moore]

So with no Jalen Carter.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, yeah.

[Mike Wright]

It's not going to be Vic Fangio, their defensive coordinator. Talk about lessons learned on Jackson Dart.

[Andy Holloway]

I did not.

[Mike Wright]

He came out and he was in the press conference. He basically said every quarterback needy team in the league has to be kicking themselves right now that they didn't take Jackson Dart. He is a believer.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Okay. I mean I think I am too. You're going to have rookie mistakes no matter how well you, you know, you play. I would say that what you basically put Jackson Dart into a situation in New York that is not an advantageous one. Not a ton of weapons that are like proven. He's having to piece it together with, you know, Wanda Robinson and Lil Jordan Humphrey and he's still getting it done.

[Mike Wright]

It's because of his. The dude is running. He is averaging 8.3 fantasy points. Not, not rush attempts. 8.3 fantasy points from the rushing work. That is for context here. Josh Allen in his careers averaging 6.8. Lamar 7.2. Jalen Hertz 8.2 and that includes all of his tush push touchdowns.

[Andy Holloway]

He's going to get hurt, isn't he?

[Mike Wright]

Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Jackson Dart can't play 17 games this way. No human can other than Camp Scatterboot.

[Jason Moore]

The I know everything worked out for fantasy last week against the Denver Broncos just with, I mean how drunk that game got but at least needs to be pointed out, you know, on the road against a very good defense. He completed 46% of his passes and he ran five times for 11 yards. 2.2. Which we, we talked about it. You quarterbacks can't really run on Denver. But it's the, the question of okay, you're facing an elite defense on the road and you're completing less than half of your passes. You just wonder did, did something get seen on tape?

[Andy Holloway]

Jason, you were, you helped the foot clan out in a big way. Two Weeks ago with Cam Scatter Boo and the confidence play against Philly, I think at the time, we didn't know Jalen Carter was even going to miss that game.

[Mike Wright]

Right.

[Andy Holloway]

Cam Scatter Boo on the road here, you're not moving away from top 24 guys six straight weeks, are you?

[Mike Wright]

There's no chance that you have a roster that you can bench Cam Scatter Boo on any week.

[Jason Moore]

Hide your crayons.

[Mike Wright]

Hide your crayons. He's going to eat them all. Or ship your crayons to New Jersey so that he can eat them all. Or I guess they're in Philly this week, so. But yeah, Cam Scatter Boo way way. They've got crans in Philly, way too involved. The last month, he has not had fewer than 20 opportunities to touch the ball. That's an insane number.

[Andy Holloway]

So are you done there? Is it. Are you comfortable with Dart? You comfortable with Scatter Boo?

[Mike Wright]

And then the only other thing in.

[Andy Holloway]

That, like Wondale versus, like, Alec Pierce, who had the big week?

[Mike Wright]

No, I don't. I don't think I'm playing Wondale. I am going to be watching Darius Slayton. He is a guy that I'm not starting. I have picked up in a couple of leagues. I hope. Hope he is starting. He was a limited participant with that hamstring injury on Wednesday. If he plays, I'm paying attention. I think he will be good in certain matchups the rest of the season.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, Mike, you agree with that? Nobody. I do. Okay.

[Mike Wright]

Real questions. Dallas Goddard. He's so funny.

[Andy Holloway]

I saw Goddard or Gadsden and it was like I basically just said, look, I'm a sucker. I'm gonna. I'm gonna follow the athleticism of Gadsden.

[Mike Wright]

And see if we can no one.

[Andy Holloway]

Cash in on that versus the touchdown luck of Goddard.

[Mike Wright]

No one believed in Dallas Goddard for the first six weeks of the NFL season while he was the tight end one. And then everyone's like, all right, I guess we got it. I guess we gotta believe. And then he goes out there and scores three fantasy points. Gotcha. Yeah. He's only gonna do whatever you don't want. Just cut him.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I mean, you might not have a choice. This week it is. He's a weird tight end. I mean, he's played enough football to know that you get Goddard games from time to time. Would you play him or Pitts at home?

[Mike Wright]

Pitts at home.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. Devonte Smith. A.J. brown had huge weeks last week. A.J. brown monitor the hamstring injury, probably not serious, but also these Guys have been banged up, both of them, over the course of the, you know, before the season. Saquon Barkley, we've had lots of discussions here. He's the RB17 on the season. He has not broken a 20 plus yard run, which is pretty wild considering how, I mean he had 1115 plus yard touchdown runs last year when you include the playoffs. He didn't do that one time the year before in New York and he hasn't done it one time in 2025 and he had 11 last year. It was the only, it was one of the few points that you could say in the off season when we were like, well, you like Saquon early in the draft, but it's pretty hard, it's pretty hard to score from 20 plus yards away all the time. Hasn't happened. Does it start happening? You guys do not look like gentlemen that have strong answers for this.

[Mike Wright]

No, I mean, would you trade Cam.

[Andy Holloway]

Scatter Boo for Saquon Barkley? Because that question I've seen and that one is a real.

[Jason Moore]

I would keep Barkley.

[Andy Holloway]

No, no, no. That's the opposite question. If you had Cam Scatter Boo, would you trade for Barkley?

[Jason Moore]

Oh, would I? Yeah, I think straight up and Jason.

[Mike Wright]

You said, no, I would rather have Scatter Boo. I believe that your highest game totals will come from Barkley. Barkley's not a bad back. He's going, you know, he's going to have his touchdowns, he's going to have big monstrous games. And I think it will be difficult for Cam Scatter Boo to have monstrous games. He, you know, he already had, you know, a multi touchdown game. That's great. But you just don't think that these Giants are going to regularly do that. But his floor is so, so high. And right now I think Barkley, he's not involved in the passing game, hasn't been for basically two years. And he's been inefficient. I mean you look at like here's some guy who has more yards per carry on the season. Saquon Barkley or Woody Marks? Yards per carry. We just made fun of how the attempts in Houston are. You cut him in half and then Woody Marks is inefficient because he's running for 3.3 a carry. Woody Marks is. That's what that, that's what Saquon's running for right now.

[Andy Holloway]

I mean, to the Barclays best game this season has been 16 points. Scatter Boo has passed that three times. It's a wild, it's a wild one.

[Mike Wright]

It is.

[Andy Holloway]

Didn't think we'd be here, but here we are. Did we. We did not talk Buffalo, Carolina yet. Buffalo 4 and 2. Carolina 4 and 3 games in Carolina, Buffalo minus 7. The over under is 46 and a half. Okay. The Bills, they get a bye week to recover from back to back losses. I don't think that's going to help Carolina very much.

[Mike Wright]

No. That's why Buffalo's on the road favored by a full touchdown. And you know, this is, this is a good get right game. You're not going to have a letdown from Buffalo because they're coming off of two losses in a row where they're taking Carolina easy. They're going in there to, you know, lay a beating down.

[Andy Holloway]

And you think that will happen?

[Mike Wright]

I do think that will happen.

[Andy Holloway]

He has never, Josh Allen lost three consecutive regular season games in his career.

[Mike Wright]

That's crazy to, considering his first two years. He was terrible.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. Carolina's defense has been much improved. That's been one of the reasons they're above.500 right now. Last year it was the number one target or up there, as you know, the top target in the league. This year, number six against the run, number nine against the wide receiver position. We spent the first few weeks of the season talking about how good James Cook had been. It's slowed down a little bit for him, but do you expect him to get back on track couple of softer weeks after top 10 performances in fourth straight?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, it's a, it's a good game script. The Panthers rush defense has looked much, much, much better than last year. So I don't look at them as like a pushover, but I, it still matters whether you win or lose a game. You know, James Cook has lost two games in a row and it's, it's been tougher sledding. If you end up what, doing what, you know, Vegas thinks, which is winning by a touchdown, you're going to have a lot more carries, opportunities in the game. So he's in. And then in the passing game for the Buffalo Bills, it's really hard to determine like oh, it will Keon Coleman get a touchdown. Will, you know, Josh Palmer have the ball? To me it's Dalton Kincaid. This is like the Panthers. Yeah, I mean we don't know for sure 100% that he'll start, but it seems like he will start. I believe he will and if he is, I'm playing him. Honestly, if Dalton Kincaid does not go, I think Dawson Knox sure is probably a better stream off of waivers than all of your, like, middling, kind of crappy tight end options because the Panthers, that's. That's where their defense gets beat.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, that could be. That could be a really scary one, I think, because I don't know what the targets. I don't know if you get more than two shots.

[Mike Wright]

You guys, I don't know if you realize this. This is big news. Huge news. Based on the last two years. Did you know this coming week is national tight end like, oh, it's week. It's this week.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Mike Wright]

The last two years.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah.

[Mike Wright]

On the. On the net. Like, I literally made a slack notification for myself last year because on national tight end week, it was like every single team knew it and they threw touchdowns at tight ends. It was crazy.

[Jason Moore]

Where did this even come from?

[Mike Wright]

I don't know.

[Jason Moore]

Did George Kittle start this?

[Mike Wright]

I have no idea.

[Andy Holloway]

Football managers.

[Mike Wright]

There's no national wide receiver week and running back, and there's just, like, the forgotten tight ends. But this is the week, so I.

[Andy Holloway]

Think we think we got lucky.

[Mike Wright]

So we got lucky.

[Jason Moore]

What you mean this day that we just made up. You're saying it's not correlated?

[Andy Holloway]

I'm saying it might not be. Carolina is probably going to have Andy Dalton as their starter this week. We don't know for sure. There's a DMP for Bryce Young on Wednesday.

[Jason Moore]

I really find big running back questions here.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I mean, I think it's.

[Jason Moore]

Buffalo's a run funnel.

[Andy Holloway]

They are. It's going to be a split.

[Mike Wright]

If you have to start one, you would start Dowdle because he's been awesome.

[Andy Holloway]

That's what you would do?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, I. I don't think that's.

[Andy Holloway]

What I would do.

[Mike Wright]

You would start Hubbard over Dowdle based on the opportunities?

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah. I think if you had. If you had Chuba and you signed out and played him while he was hurt, and you have both and you got to start one. I would play Chuba myself, but I. Again, that's what makes it a difficult question. Like Mike said.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, for sure.

[Andy Holloway]

Making. You're. You're just.

[Mike Wright]

I mean, if you've got one of those two guys or you've got Vidal Sassoon in tonight's game, I probably go, Vidal.

[Jason Moore]

I'd play Sassoon, man.

[Andy Holloway]

I just don't like Vidal this week.

[Mike Wright]

Really?

[Andy Holloway]

I got a bad feeling about it. He had the one big week. Obviously, it was impressive.

[Mike Wright]

I sucked last week with maybe.

[Andy Holloway]

Maybe enough volume. Maybe just enough volume.

[Mike Wright]

Yeah.

[Andy Holloway]

But I also like Minnesota to win the game, and I feel like Their defense is.

[Jason Moore]

Well, that's even better for Vidal. I mean, I think he's had nine combined targets the past two weeks.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay, so you'd take the solo work of the Dow.

[Jason Moore]

I think I would.

[Andy Holloway]

I could see that if I'm playing.

[Jason Moore]

One of the two, I'm playing Rico. I just think he's a better player and it could be just a circumstance of it just hasn't hit yet. But Chuba does not have a carry inside the five yet.

[Andy Holloway]

Yep.

[Jason Moore]

And I know he's been hurt, but he also. He also was the main starting running back for those first few weeks.

[Andy Holloway]

Try to guess Ted McMillan's fantasy positioning on the season. We're seven weeks in on the season. On the season. Ted McMillan is the wide receiver.

[Mike Wright]

Doesn't have a lot of. He's got one touchdown, like 26. That's a. Oh, does he have two? Yeah, he got the two in the same game. One game with the touchdown. I'm going to. I'm going to go right there. I like. I'll go 25.

[Jason Moore]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

Should have gone the other way. 27. 27. But I would. I would say that you have not. We still haven't had that game that you're like, yeah, he's arrived. There's not been a. He's arrived.

[Jason Moore]

Forced. Feed him the ball. He is a dog.

[Mike Wright]

There is a. There's a quarterback change, presumably this week. And when Andy Dalton came in last week, he targeted Xavier Leggett quite a bit. Seven of Xavier Leggett's 10 targets were from Andy Dalton in limited time.

[Andy Holloway]

What was that all about?

[Mike Wright]

I don't know. However, my point is we're waiting.

[Andy Holloway]

I don't know how.

[Mike Wright]

What are you doing?

[Andy Holloway]

How prescriptive can that be?

[Mike Wright]

It's not prescriptive. What? I think Ted McMillan is waiting for this breakout game and all of a sudden he's going to have a quarterback coming in who is practicing this week as the starter. Working with tet tets. That's going to eat this week. He's going to be a great start. He's my start of the week.

[Andy Holloway]

What?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, I'm adding him start of the week.

[Andy Holloway]

You're that confident in him? Do you think he'll get up over that 33 yard mark he's been hitting?

[Mike Wright]

I believe he will get over over 35 yards.

[Andy Holloway]

He still frightens me. I don't know. I don't know why it hasn't happened yet.

[Jason Moore]

I get it. It's Carolina. What are you doing?

[Andy Holloway]

Alec Pierce or Ted McMillan? Like that question Is a really good question.

[Mike Wright]

It's a real question. Alec Pierce has been good. Gets targets. Gets targets from a quarterback that can get his wide receiver the ball. I would definitely go tet there.

[Andy Holloway]

Okay. All right, I will. I'll make you a water bet on that one.

[Jason Moore]

All right.

[Mike Wright]

I will accept water bet. 35 yards.

[Andy Holloway]

No, that's not the best. Not 35. It was Alec Pierce versus Ted McMillan. You don't get to name it afterwards. Goodness. Couple updates for you. No sign of Garrett Wilson at practice for the Jets.

[Jason Moore]

What was all this? But this is chance of playing.

[Andy Holloway]

This is more exciting. Terry McClure and Debo Samuel both practicing today or they're both going to practice today.

[Mike Wright]

That would make you.

[Jason Moore]

Yeah, that would help to Mario's Mariota.

[Mike Wright]

I.

[Andy Holloway]

You know, I want to say yes, but I am not excited to play the Chiefs in Kansas City. I feel like you're going. The game script for that will be yes, you're happy those guys are back. But how many first downs does Washington.

[Mike Wright]

Mario. Mariota will run for 45 yards.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah, I'm. I. I signed Mariota to play in place of Daniels and I'm going to pivot even with who? Michael Pennix.

[Mike Wright]

Okay.

[Andy Holloway]

All right. In our very thin waiver wire bet.

[Jason Moore]

You wish you would have paid 10 plus dollars for Joe Flacco.

[Andy Holloway]

If I had the fam, I would have. Thursday. Texans. No. Nico. No. Christian Kirk. Still cream hunt. Not practicing on Thursday for the Kansas City game. Burchard Smith, we talked about him on the waiver show. More opportunity coming his way. And that was fantasy forecast presented by Prize Picks.

Every Friday, Mike is hyperventilating from some sort of mask he is wearing.

[Jason Moore]

Just.

[Andy Holloway]

Just.

[Mike Wright]

We gotta bring one more catch.

[Andy Holloway]

Instead of the mask of victory.

[Mike Wright]

We gotta bring the mummy back. If you lose.

[Andy Holloway]

If you like, do we wrap him live?

[Mike Wright]

Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, Josh. We let Josh wrap him.

[Jason Moore]

He did that.

[Mike Wright]

Oh, man.

[Jason Moore]

Man.

[Andy Holloway]

Yeah.

[Jason Moore]

You don't remember when then I had to go to the doctor cuz broke my nose.

[Andy Holloway]

No, you did not have to go to the doctor.

[Mike Wright]

Gracious, but that was. That was brutal. That was the worst one ever. And it shouldn't have been. It was just because Josh was a jerk.

[Andy Holloway]

Oh, he like smashed your nose.

[Mike Wright]

His nose was on his cheek.
