You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network, Fantasy best Friends Forever. To Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do. Yeah, this is the Fantasy Best Friends Forever. You're on the Fantasy Sports were your network alongside Frankie Sample. I am Greg Susman. What's going on Monday, Greggy? The better question is what's going on with you? Going on? Yeah? I see that you got a headphone malfunction right now,
the headphones on background backward. It was also like kind of cleaning up the studio a bit, and uh, here we are, studio manager, Greg Susman. That's a lot of a lot of titles. You're ready to kick off Week six with Big Blue tonight. I gotta check my teams and I kinda be sure I don't have two hilt in the laughing Yeah, it's fly Eagles Fly, the old NFC e slabber knocker to night excited, I really mean yeah, I just I don't have much going on in this game. I have a few shares of se Kwon Barkley, I
don't have Oldell Beckham anywhere. I'm excited for zach Ertz. It's unbelievable how much more I care about my my two home leagues and anything else, like so much more. I think, how many leaks are you in? Though? Outside of that does a fish bal account? I guess yeah, it's a lead, right, you set your lineup rights. I know you don't care about that at all. GST, we should care more about that, considering it's like the highest
price league we play g ST GST Carton League. I would spend a lot more time like looking at GSC if trades were allowed. I agree, I'm a big trader. I agree GST Carton um flex a lot. Not with you, though, like I care about my main home league more than I do any other league, and I too am I was the one I was freaking out about last week that I need to make it. So I have my home league, my camp league, and those are both like home leagues essentially, those are those are the two I
care more about. And I think some of it has to do with like flex I want to care a lot about because like it's an industry league, like you're in it and and e wise in Florida, like all of changing it, Like I want to belt, I can't go, like my fantasy league is disgusting, is a disgusting interface, and I can't. I don't want to look at it. I mean, are you a website programmer? No, what I know people at are Look, I'm not gonna I like
other websites more. I'm not going to completely bet. I know it's not easy to make a fantasy website by any means, but like it is like ESPN, Yahoo and CBS. Yeah you're talking about like those are the big boys, Greg, but like I would obviously have sore funding and things that go into their fantasy webs So last night, right waivers going through Wednesday nights not correct? Right? So I
went it was like eight o'clock. I'm on my phone, try to put waiter it claims in and you like can't on the app it's like not possible, like there's no way to order it when you put the website on your browser because they don't like how that looks either, do you what do you use your browser of the app? I usually I never put claims in on my app. I always put it on my right because you're on the app. You can't even like short by anything. Literally, It's like, how do you have a fantasy website where
you can't short by stats? If you I've never heard of that in my life on the computer. I just said the app right, like I'm using the right How could you have that? It's ridiculous. I fired up on a Thursday morning about my fantasy leader any any way claims it because of it. I don't think we're you gonna pick anybody up. I wanted some people I don't even know they were, like I picked up or not? Though, Man, what do you want to pick up? I wanted to pick up Chester Chester Rogers. Oh so I just did
my uh. I did my rankings last night, and obviously I wrote about my five players I'm higher on than the rest of the industry, and Chester Rogers was an honorable mention for me. Greggy, that's nice. The Jets are allowing a decent number of fantasy points to opposing wide receivers this season, and it looks like they're gonna be without Tremaine Johnson and Buster Screen this week, so that obviously lends itself to um being a good matching for
the Indianapolis Colts. Over the last two weeks, the Jets are allowing the ninth most fantasy points opposing wide receivers, so it doesn't look like t Why Hilton's gonna go. Chester Rogers has twenty two targets over his last games, so he's just outside of my top thirty six. But I think you know, if you're in a pinch, especially in a bye week, or you're a t Y Hilton owner. I like Chester Roger, and I thought it was first calling, first served. Now that it was Thursday, it should be. Well,
it's not. I'm trying to think of, Oh, that player might be on waiver because they got dropped. Chester Rogers is owning only twelve percent of leagues. Wow, I thought that number would be higher. It's very frustrating. I think people buy more so into Ryan Grant, so I'd like to look at his ownership right now. Sure, I mean Ryan Grant four. All right, so nobody wants anything to do with the cold wide receivers. But but don't blame you. I can blame you because Andrew Luck throws sixty times
a week. And do you see the stat today for people who are worried about Andrew Luck? He is on pace to break the record, the NFL record for most passing attempts in an NFL seasons? Great? Is it great? The guy's arms gonna fall off? Nice? I'm just I'm just speaking in facts, Greggy, He've been it one on it. I just picked up a player. Flax makes you feel better on the spot, the dude, Yeah, standard league? Yeah, how do I see? I'd rather eat a salad and
look at the I have salad for lunch today. No cross, who got picked up? Who got picked up in this league? You look at transactions? Look at it right now. Robbie Anderson got picked up Breakwon Smith went for thirty two dollars to Jeff Ratcliffe. He was stupid Pro Football Focus. Anderson went for seventeen. Bob Lung had like a sex I like Mohammed's. I've had Courtland something like seven times with Michael Floorio our brethren, former best friend forever. Dollars
on Mohammed was not too much. I honestly would have picked up Josh Reynolds. Is that too much on most a new Yeah? Probably like whatever you better like he's better the player's I own that sair Rodgers for four dollars? Would you have been more than four dollars on chestair Rodgers might have been six, It might have been six. What do you think about this? I picked up the Dolphins defense this week and who they got. They faced the Bears at home in Miami and they're expected to
get pieces back to their secondary. Interesting, the Dolphins defense has been very good. I'm not buying that one week sample of miss Robinski throwing four six touchdowns against a depleted Tampa Bay Bucks team that just wanted to get to their bye week. Q question get it back to Jameis Winson. If A players on waivers, hell, when can I pick them up next week? No? I mean probably they're probably on waivers for like a day or two. You were played fantasy football before, not in my fantasy
is terrible. Maybe they're on waivers until Sunday, when the next uh next? I gotta make sure I'm trying to that's probably the most likely scenario. Alright, fine, just changing some stuff around here. Do you have anything on tonight's game? Gre You yeah, you know tonight's game. Man Um, you mentioned Josh Reynolds. I do want to bring up that Brandon Cooks and Cooper Cup were cleared for walkthrough. They did walk through yesterday, no contact. They were really in uniform,
no contact yet. So I don't have Brandon Cooks or Cooper Cup ranked this week yet, just because I don't know that they're gonna play, So I don't have them ranked, just like I haven't ranked Davonte Freeman because I don't know that he's gonna play either. I gotta get rid of a lot of players. All right, what do you want to do? You want to do? Your dude, there's any football one Thursday Night or or QB and tight end rankings, not ten rankings yet. I'm up to Thursday
night fall. No dr A origin today, am sorry, I forgot to tell you that. Well, this line is moving crazy right now. It just dropped to Philly minus one. That's this is this is not lots of money coming in on Big Blue, Greggy. This is basically down to a pick him game. This is this is not good? Why? Why is that not good? I don't like it. Look a divisional matchup, anything can happen, especially with the Eagles on the road. The Eagles haven't scored more than twenty
three points in any game this season. The Giants are coming off a game what is the first game that they scored thirty points? And how long? Great? Because I feel like you used to references that all the time. I believe it's an over the last like two seasons plus. So the Giants are I know you can't say it because they're one and four, but they're kind of try ending in the right direction. They scored thirty points last week. They are terrible. You are buying the Giant Giants fan.
I guarantee if you ask the Eagles fan right now, if Chrissy Bones is around, he might say the Eagles look terrible right now too. They aren't terrible though, Like you just watch the Giants like you watch it tonight because you watch, but there are things that play in their favorite They have Olivier Vernon coming back tonight. If the Eagles are without Lane Johnson, I think this game is closer than people realize I actually don't disagree with
how this line is moving here. I am telling you right, just watch, just watch this team. I'm gonna talk about the position players in this game. Greggy, Uh yeah, start on the eagle side obviously, Zach, it's you're starting. I think he has a monster game tonight. I don't think people realize this, but the Giants actually haven't allowed a touchdown to a tight end all season. Greg Through five weeks of the season, heading into Week six, Giants have
not allowed to touchdown. And I believe they're allowing like the fourth fewest fantasy points that opposing tight end. That that changes tonight, Greggy Zacker is gonna have a monster game. So I actually like that as a prop for for Zacker to score tonight. If you want to bet on that, you get at plus one seventy five on the Fandorich is a hilarious He is the most likely player to score.
According to the Well from the Eagles perspective on it, both um Quan and Odell Beckham are more likely to score. According to Fandals Player Problems, You're playing Wendel Smallwood, Corey Colment, Which what would you rather have tonight? I have them ranked back to back. I'm gonna go with Corey Clement Um. I think Doug Peterson overall leans towards Corey Clement more so than Wendel Smallwood. But you know, I think it
might be a close split. It could be. I mentioned last week the split between j J I and Wendel Smallwood was of the snaps each. I don't think Darren Sprowles is going to go in this game tonight, so we're probably looking at close to a fifty fifty split. I do think that Corey Clement has a little bit more explosive ability. I think they might use him in the past game a little bit more than Moll would. But I do like both guys as low end r
B two's high end flex options. Uh. If there's any way to attack the Giants, it has been with the running back in the ground game. The Giants have allowed the seventh most Fantasy points opposing running backs this season, So I think both guys can be serviceable high end flex options tonight. Yeah, I kind of agree with you. I prefer Corey Clement Um, but I think it's going
to be a split. It's gonna drive you mad, like that's the one thing I could promise you that Corey Clement and when Neil small one will drive you mad. What it's worth? Um daily rodo They have the props tool under the betting tab and they like the over tonight for Corey clements total rushing yards, which multiple sports books have it around forty four and a half. So I actually like that over. I wanna if you want to jump in on that player. I like that. I
like that over. Although I could also see the eels is not running the ball and just like doing the short passes as the running game like very much see that as well. Yeah, that's definitely a possibility. We know for a long time now, the Giants linebacker crew has been a problem. Um so the way to attack them it could be, you know, throwing the ball to their running backs and you know, without Lane Johnson, maybe that's even more so true, you know, using that short pass
game as an extension of the running game. I will mention that not very high on Alston Jeffrey tonight. I have him as a wide receiver three. I know he's had at least eight targets in both games since he's returned. But the Giants have actually been very very strong against opposing team's wide receiver ones this season, Greg, I think the most the highest yard total that we've seen out of a wide receiver one was d Hop with around
eighties six. So overall, the Giants, I believe they are allowing the fewest fantasy points in the league to opposing wide receivers. Yes, they are the fewest, less than the Jaguars, Giant Stevens. Pretty sneaky. They've been very good against wide receiver so I'm I'm not really. I know some people have alson Jeffrey Ranks is like a low end wide receiver two. I think he's more of like in middling wide receiver three, maybe even closer to a low end
wide receiver three. Not that high on him. He kind of got shut down by Xavier Roads last week, to which if you remember we spoke about alshon Jeffrey last week, that's something that I said could happen. Yeah, I'm with you, man, I'm with you. I also believe tonight that Aljean Jeffrey is a wide receiver three. On the other side, the New York Giants, Evan Ingram already ruled out, which means Sterling Shepherd is what Sterling Shepherd is going to sneak
right in as a low end wide receiver too. Again, I've been very bullish on the games that Evan Ingram has missed. I have Sterling Shephard ranked as my wide receiver twenty. That might be a little bit too high, but I just think this is an exploitable matchup. It seems like he's gonna be matched up with Jalen Mills. Obviously, that's always the part of the field that you want
to attack against the Eagles. We know how good they are against the run, and that doesn't mean that I'm hesitant about se Kwon Barkley tonight, but overall, you know, sa Kwan's rushing total might not be great, but he's gonna catch a ton of passes. The way to attack the Eagles defense is through the air, specifically with wide receivers. So I do think at both Sterling Shepherd and Odell
Beckham could get there tonight. But as we've seen, when Odell Beckham is being double teamed in the red zone, they've already said we're not going to force feed him, and that's where Sterling Shepherd comes into play. I think Sterling Shephard scores a touchdown tonight as well. Great, Yeah, I hope so. Indeed, UM, I think Sakon Barkley, who has had five and secutive one hundred total yard games and his time for the second most NFL history to start off a career. Kareem Hunt is the most. He
had seven in a row U last year. UM Adrian Peterson and s Kuon Barkley both tied at five to try to pass a p tonight to make it six. And that's the Giant's offense. Sagon Barkley, he is really really unbelievable. I watched one of Brian Baldinger's breakdowns Baldise breakdowns this week, and the line just creates nothing for this guy. It's all squan. It's just very impressive. Are you sad that the Giants released Eric Flowers? No, but there was so much invested in him. Correct. You guys
drafted him over Todd Gurley. Doesn't that make you? Said it was your first round pick. You can't just give up on the guy. Yeah, I'm sorry, Greggy. I have Eli Manning ranked as my nineteenth quarterback this week. You think that's too high to h too high? So the players I have just Behind him are Mitch Drabinsky, Derek Carr, and Joe Flacco. I might want to mo ba all three in front of him. Why though, I just went over how I like Sertling Shepard, Nodell Beckham. You're you're
doing that thing again. He's right nineteen. It's not like I have him as a top twelve quarterback. You're doing that thing again, Una, A six touchdown game doesn't matter. You just had a bye week exactly. He's going up against the Miami Dolphins. They're going They're going back home. Just got embarrassed this past week against the Bengals. I like their defense this week. I think Mitch Trobinsky is still kind of suspect. I mean, he had one phenomenal
game against the Bucks defense. How much do you how much stock do you put in that or which game? The Dolphins game? I believe the Bears are favored by three on the road. Love it? You must love the Dolphin game. What are you're telling me how much you love the Dolphins? Actually with the hook to yeah, I actually do kind of like that. Miami getting three and a half at home? What do you think? I think it could be a lower scoring close game. I wouldn't
touch this game personal name. But they hate the Dolphins. I mean I do too, I have you're talking about teams. I don't ever want to watch the Dolphins. Maybe number one. That's fair because they don't really utilize any one wide receiver. It's very frustrating purposes. So you know, if you get the highlight that Kenyan Drake scores receiving touchdown, obviously you get very excited. I get very excited because I have Kenyan Drake in my home league. Um, yeah, I agree
with you. Probably don't want to watch that, especially this week. It's going to be an ugly game. Greg. With the spread now at the Eagles minus one favorites in the total at forty three and a half. Which where are you leaning tonight? Getting the Eagles a bias or fandom getting the way of your your heart. I've learned that with the Yankees. What do you learned the hard way? Your fisher pick? I will I will also take the Eagles, and I'll take the over man. But I think it's close.
I think it's the totals at half, so I think we just get the slight over there. There you go, Eagles in the under. Eagles in the over. We'll find out tomorrow what happens when we come back.

I'm being informed that Tom Hanks is not the star of that movie, and technically it is the protagonist and support that's Tom Everett Scott. But not only is Hanks the supporting act there, he also produced the movie. He went and directed and also it was his directorial debut. He made the movie. Scot. You're getting kind of called out in the YouTube, Vona.
I'll say this, I feel like liv Tyler's never looked on her, you know what. I was literally just telling Ventra. She looked so cute in that movie. Was young, like she was a lot younger, but like for like the for you know, the time period. It was in the sixties. I guess it is. Well, looks like she was gorgeous. It's like Armageddon time period essentially. So that was Live Tyler at her hottest. She still looks good though, so
weird now she's very deceiving. Live Tyler. This is very deceiving because there are some pictures where she looks she looks very good. She's greats were like, it's a little weird. It doesn't really look like the same person. She's a little Weird's like, don't look at the Lord of the Rings pure you can't look at you can't look at the Lord of the Rings pictures obviously. I mean I'm just looking at the right person. Right, What are the movies? Was this person? Do you know who her father is?
Don't look don't look at the pictures, Tyler. You saw the pictures? No, I didn't, sweird. I just went back to all does it literally say daughter or Steven Tyler and Google? I mean it might somewhere I don't like, Yes, it's it is Steven Tyler's daughter. You go, I got it right to bring that game back? Now we shouldn't you want to play? No, embarrassed myself to hit me with the music, but like, give it to me. I don't need to know live Tyler is. She doesn't play
football or anything. Well the stump frank music, stump the frank is where we ask not but this is not hard to do there it is all right? You ready, Please don't ask any of a little here we go gig a little bit. Well, she's in the Leftovers the show. Yes, she was one of the main people in the as well. Okay, here we go, who is ready a ready, who's Brett Kavanaugh? Uh? He is the Supreme Court justice. I also I saw the guy on Twitter who's like like a random guy
on Twitter named Kavanaugh. She tweeted, this is a really bad time to be named. Everyone was just retweeting, Well, I told you that when I go to get my hair cut from my uncle who was a hair stylist. Yes, um, he's a big political buff so he always has it on in the background. And that's where I kind of get. I just want to make sure to d just want to make sure you were you know of to day, you know your stuff. Yeah, I mean this one's kind of hard not to be, Okay, I just wanted to
make sure. Man, I appreciate it. Though. The Strangers, that's where I know her from. Did you ever see the movie Terrible Movie? Never seen horror movie? You strike me as a guy who doesn't like horror movies because you were Home is that movie. She's also in One Night of the Cools as well. Okay, who is Harvey Weinstein? If you've called, if you've seen The Strangers, call in and give us a review of that movie. You want to know if anyone out there thinks it was a
good movie. Who is Harvey Weinstein. Harvey Weinstein is uh the Hollywood guy he's I think he's a director where you know, he's been involved in a lot of scandals as one. Oh, I think he's not a director, but we'll say he's casting with casting nobly. I don't know what his role is, but I know what he did. Yeah, all right, what is his technical what is his job? Tip? He owned like the Weinstein company that produced all these movies. All right, so we'll give it to you. We're giving
it to you it gradually. Its right, next? One? More, one, last one? Are you ready? I'm always ready? Okay, here we go. Who is m hm? Who is stumping yourself? I want I want to I want to make I want to make it. Maybe a hard one? All right? Ready? Who is Warren Harding? I have no idea, no idea. Warren Harding? Is Harding? Warren Harding? Yes, he's a twenty nine president United States. There you got for me for a loop? Come on, man, you know I thought this
was a present guy. You know, I thought this guy might have still been alive. But he's actually born November two, eighteen sixty five, very dead in Blooming Grove, Ohio, cause of death of heart tech. Yeah, represented the Republican Party. So surprised you brought his name up, Greg. Do you know Joy Tylor's Joy Taylor? Uh? Actress? Nope, she's person
that's on the TV with Colin Coward. Yeah, I don't know that is she sports the American radio personality as she also Jason Tylor's wife, I believe, really Yeah, like former dolphin and jet for the Jets. Right, a little bit short stint of his career in the Redskins. All right, what have we got? Greg? All right? Eight four four? If you want to talk about the Strangers with live Tyler or that thing you do, would love Tyler as well? All Right? She has first probably sure? Has he officially
been ruled out right? No? No, it said it's not that big of a deal. Maybe it's not like a long term with not a long term thing. I don't think he plays this week? Probably not? Which would that's on us? No, it's on you and Florida. No, it's on Yeah, it's on both of you. I didn't want Devonte Freeman. I wanted Kareem I wanted what do I want Keena now, and that's why I wanted. I wanted to start Antonio Brown Keenan nowt in the PPR league
and what have that? Actually would that have actually helped us? Yeah? Would have. It would happen because Keenan Allen Alex Conser played every game Freeman didn't, So yeah, it would have helped us, all right, So if if he doesn't go, Freeman doesn't go. Keevin Coleman is facing the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, who are allowing the sixth most fantasy place opposing running backs in PPR. For what it's worth, they have not allowed over a hundred yards rushing this season at all.
In the last game before the bye, they allowed twenty five rushing attempts for seventy eight yards between Jordan Howard and three Cohen, So they're more so killed in the past game. That's great. Obviously would favorite Tevin Coleman as well, so lots of like in then that would be Yeah, Tevin Coleman would become in RB two and Edo Smith would be like low and flex option all right, barely inince top thirty six. I agree with that. I agree
that I don't want to Smith by any means. Now, let's here you might this is a tough by for running backs. And I know it's only two teams on a buy, but you lose Camar Ingram and use carry on Johnson. So to carry on Johnson we lost. I mean, he's a low on RB two right now. We're talking about it every day, Greg. The running back landscape is not good. That makes carry on Johnson at RB two with um you is your quarterbacks press? We usually do a quarterbacks press, right, so have it out? Is that
road raspers dot Com? Your best friends ranks? There we go. That's great. It's a bet friends ranks last week too. I didn't tell Scott anything. I still haven't told Yeah, Frank Stanford's Week six lineup ranks and high five, so he hasn't done what you wanted. And it's well, there's no high five on here. It's five players that AM higher on than the consensus. But I don't like see that. It's not like last usually like player player player player player, I don't see that here. We have to read the
paragraph paragraph, just tell you who I'm high on. We had Eagles running backs, so we already we gotta change this Mike Davis should be changed. I'm high on Sammy Watkins, Hilo Lockett, Marys Thomas, and Chester Rogers. With my honorable mention, Yeah, we're not We're not doing this. Is it crazy that I have Jameis Winston is a top five quarterback's top five is really interesting? Now. I know a lot of people really really like, really really like um James Winston
this weekend. I get it. You're facing Atlanta, UM and coming off the bye he had he had in the Dome. He had a really good preseason with the new offensive coordinators actually doing something, so I understand why you want to do it. He was also the number one quarterback in December of last fantasy football season, so I get it. Do you know the over under for this game and a half? Sorry, yeah, it's really high, second to the Patriots in Chiefs, which are at sixty. Right. I understand it, man,
I I get it. I don't know. I can't a little bit of risk involved, but they really argue with it. Think about this. The Falcons defense has allowed re passing touchdowns in four straight games. Like this is unprecedented. Is Jameis Winston gonna be the guy who breaks the shriek that doesn't throw for three touchdowns for the fifth game a row against the Falcons defense. I think he does, probably does like based on the weapons. It's just like I get it. The Falcons secondary as depleted as it is.
How do you go out and stop Mike Evans and Chris Godwin and the Seawan Jackson and Cameron Braid? And we should mention Cameron Brad while we're talking about tight ends as well. O J. Howard actually did practice yesterday in a limited fashion. He has a supporting a big old brace on his leg. But this was a similar injury to Evan Ingram, which has now forced him to
miss three games in a row. It would be pretty miraculous if O. J. Howard just you know, he got the one week off from the by and now plays in this week. But it looks like there's a chance that's gonna happen. Greg, So do you pump the brakes on Cameron Braid a little bit? So? It was really really frustrating yesterday to pump the brakes al right, continue, It was really really um frustrating. As Cameron Brad owner, I asked you yesterday before, who do you start? Jingan
reader Cameron Brad. It's really frustrating, said O. J. Howard was back at practice um with the knee. Rais, if O J. Howard plays, I cannot start Cameron Bread. I can't do it like I think breat have. I had the choose between Brayton Howard, Brant would be the one that I want. But it's really really frustrating that there's a chance O J. Howard does play, and it really is a two week injury for him that would suck.
I will say this, even if O J. Howard plays, I still like Cameron Brad just because James always looks his way, like when both guys are on the field. James has showed us that he's going to target Cameron
Braid more than he is O J. Howard. O J. Howard was a, you know, a favorite of Ryan Fitzpatrick, and we knew that, but I do think that you know what we saw it last game, Jamis came in instantly inside the red zone throws a touchdown to Cameron Braid, So all you needed to touchdown to be a tight end one with a game total this high and with his best friend and Jamis Winson now quarterback in the Bucks. Once again, I still do like Cameron Braid. I have him as my tight end eight on the week. And
that's even with assuming O. J. Howard plays. O. J. Howard plays. I think he's more so in a limited fashion. I don't know that he plays, so I totally agree with that. Like I said, I'd rather start Break than Howard if they both play, I just don't feel comfortable starting either of them are Fortunately that's my tight end eight. Is that too high? I haven't just ahead of Jordan Read, Trey Burton, Kyle Rudolph, David and joke. Yeah, it's gonna be too high. If O. J. Howard plays, well, you
need to touchdown. I understand that. I understand that, but like Reid hasn't scored a touchdown since what we won, Trey Burton coming off a big game, it's right, you're gonna see, You're gonna see when the Bears offense gets shut down this week, I'd rather start Kyle Rudolph might be the one I think touchdown in the past couple of weeks even and Joe, who also I'd rather have this week. Why no targets have been there. Targets have
been there, and targets in every game but one. Yeah, but you know your guy Callaway's gonna get more snaps, right, which means they played different rules. I think in the offense that's that's definitely true. So that's why I think you. I think you can also be the case if O. J. Howard plays Austin who marking me above him too. I have a fantasy philosophy question for you, girls could ring the sirens fantasy question. Obviously, we look at fantasy points
against a lot. Yep, that's you used that a lot to determine it. I feel like you should just throw tight end fantasy points against for tight ends out the window because all right, so I mentioned the Giants have allowed the third fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends. Tight end more than any other position in fantasy. The amount of fantasy points that you give up as a defense is solely dependent on the team that you play, whether or not they used the tight end or not.
So let's run through the teams that the Giants have faced. The Jaguars. That was with Austin Sinfarian Jenkins healthy and week one, and you can argue that whether it was him or Niles Paul, they should have scored a touchdown in week one against the Giants. In Week two they faced Jallous that's you know, before they realized that Jeff Swain was their leading receiver. Week three, they did allow
a hundred and fifteen yards to the Houston texts. Who you know, it's like Ryan Griffin and company over there. In Week four it was the Saints against Ben Watson. They allowed four receptions for eighties six, so all right, that's whatever. And then last week it was against Carolina, who they're you know, they're not really targeting Ian Thomas all that much with Greg Olson out. So I think when you look at fantasy points against for opposing defenses at the tight end position, a lot of it is
based on what team that you have faced. I don't know that this information is as valuable as it is running like fantasy points against running backs. So I think it's a fair point. And I hear what you're saying, But to me, like some of those numbers, those names that you gave out, Jeff swims Um, the Ben Watson's, like, again, not high profile guys like Ben Watson, like four six is really good game from tight end. You're telling me my Tenan will get that awesome. I mean on that number.
So some of those numbers that you gave out I'm fine with from my tight end. So you're saying I have came Bray too high, and I think so, Yeah, I think so. On the other side of that, right, the Bucking Years the worst team, he gets tight end number number one, right, not in the most fantasy points per game inside ends. How could you not have Austin Hooper higher than Cameron Right, Well, let's look at who they faced again. This is this is where it comes into giving me so in week two. In week one,
they faced New Orleans five for fifty nine. Week two they faced Philly, So zach Ertz obviously went off. Just want to note and just want to note, no Carson Wentz that day either. Yes, week three, that was Pitt touchdown, that was Vance McDonald and then it was Trey Burton and the everybody And that was only two receptions. That was a completely blown coverage. And we can get blown coverages out of Tampa Baby, but Tampa Bay got she lacked by it. But Austin Hooper you also have to
take into account the usage. Right, Like last week, he had twelve targets the week before he had two. I started to Yeah, So it's like, how much faith, how much confidence do you have in Austin Hooper when his targets are very inconsistent. Yes, it's a very good matchupent. I don't Cameron Breath. I don't have trust Cameron Bread to score touched on more so than I do. I don't um Austin Hooper. I I don't many touchdowns is Austin Hooper have in the year, Greg, I don't think.
I don't know if here's any Why would you why would you depend on him to score one? Now? I just think it's a good shot against Tampa. The touchdown height ends back to back in I think this is a good it's a good back and forth. I agree with you. I don't, but I personally I'm looking all right to like the for example of Falcons, they've been very good against tight ends this year, which is crazy. Let's like, who have they who have they faced? They faced?
They faced Zach Arts in week one, no tight ending in CAROLINEA week two, Ben Watson three six eight eight Cincinnati and Advance McDonald last week they were a good Steelers And it's a kind of a crapsh you know, it's not like it's type of advance. McDonald's amazing is more likely to score a touchdown with Damis Winston's quarterback than Austin Hooper. Is this We continue the conversation when

Well, you know you were like thirty by the time I was born, so obviously you know you were. You were watching so true story. I'm thirty now, No, you're actually sixty,
doubling my age. Wait, okay, um, that's contending the tenant conversation here, Frank. So I think it's really interesting thing. Um, I understand, and maybe I was wrong shopping the gun that I think Austin Hooper has a better chance to catch touched on Cameron Bright. I just think so much relies on O. J. Howard playing like Cameron Braid is in a really good position. If Howard does not play. If he does play, it's it's more of a toss
up to me than anything else. When I know Austin Hooper is the one tight end, but don't you feel like even if both play, Like with Jameis Winston back as the quarterback, he looks Cameron Braid's way. We didn't see a lot of big games out of O. J. Howard last year when Jamis Winston was the quarterback. A lot of those big games last year and this year where when Ryan Fitzpatrick was the quarterback for the books.
So I just think even if both guys play, it's like Damis Winston just has like these these rose colored glasses on with and he only sees his Cameron Braid. It's like he doesn't even see Oj Howard on the field. I got it. I'm with you. I'm totally with But don't you want to give it a game to see that's changed? Ideally? Yeah, but the tight end position is a crapshoot. I agree with you with the names that
you personally have under in your rankings. I would have all above just for just for I gotta see it. I have to see it. It's a little bit tougher with a tight end because you're really just taking that shot on the touchdown upside. And who has touchdown upside? Cameron brad with James Swinton as the quarterback has touchdown upside. Trey Burton, Okay, he has touched on upside, his targets
haven't necessarily been there. He's facing the Dolphins, obviously, my Miami Dolphins this week, which apparently I've adopted David and Joke Wu. While the targets have been there. You know, if you play in a point per target league, David and Joke, who is great, but he hasn't done anything. He's had seven at least seven targets in four to five games. Yes, you love the usage out of David and Joking. And I think you bring up a fair point about Richard Higgins. You know he's out a couple
of weeks. And Daven Joke, who's gonna fill that, you know, short to intermediate possession receiver type of role bield When it comes down to David and Joke, who hasn't done anything, doesn't scored a touchdown this year, He hasn't really been targeted in the red zone this year, which kind of seems like a mistake by Todd Haley and the Boys dog Pound. So I like in Joke, I like his potential, I like his upside. But again, this is the standard
rankings for the tight end position. Who's more likely to score a touchdowns? In my opinion is Camera Brake fair enough? Eight four three eight seven nine four three six eighty seven nine. Let's go to Devon in San Antonio. Let's going on Devon. Do we have Devin? We have Devin? Devin? What's up man? What's up? Um? All right? So I just have two quick Star questions both of them for full PPR um first one Chris Thompson or Chris Carson,
and then second one. Um, I'm starting Dalton this week, but I also have Wentz and then I have Russell Wilson and injury luck on waivers as well. All right, so I would use Andy Dalton. I'm pretty bullish on him. I might be the highest person on Andy Dalton this week, just in that game against the Steelers. I know it's an a f C North Visional matchup. Normally the narrative is that those games are hard hitting, they're normally low scoring.
But this game has a fifty three and a half point total over on Earth, so we're expecting points here, and the Steelers secondary hasn't been great this year. So I have Andy Dalton as my sixth rand quarterback. I would use him the running back position. This is a tougher one to answer, because I like Chris Carson overall this week for his matchup against the Oakland Raiders, but the fact that it's PPR, he doesn't catch a lot of passes. Chris Thompson, we know what his upside could
be in PPR. He can catch a ton of passes. He can catch them, you know, in in in bunches. He can. You know, he can easily go out there and have six seven, eight receptions this week. But he's also now dealing with an injury. He has that rib injury. On a week to week basis, you don't know if it's gonna be a p Is it going to be an AP game as gonna be a Chris Thompson game.
There's just too much inconsistency. I'll take Chris Carson in the matchup and Andy Dalton Gregg I agree with, Actually Chris hard Carson, Andy Dalton as well, you're the Thompson guy. I thought, you know, you might you might fight me a little bits. Yeah, it's just for me. It is unpredictable. And I really thought Chris Thompson was in from this massive game on Monday. Didn't happen. I think both Thompson
and AP are banged up. When either of them are banged up, I leen toword AP getting more of a workload. Christompson's brittle man. Yeah, he definitely is. UM. It often comes down the game flow and as much as as much as we try to predict these games, you know, you never know when the Panthers are just gonna go out and get off to a fourteen zip lead in Washington. You just don't know if that happens, it sets up
to be a Chris Thompson game. If if it's a closer game throughout, and that's what the spread tells us it's going to be, I think this game might be a pick him right now. Actually, um, yeah, Washington's favored by one at home, so they expected to be a very close game. In games like that, we could see more Adrian Peterson. So it's just very hard to predict the Washington backfield. This is one that you know you love to have in the best all format, so the
decision gets made for you. But ultimately I'll take the matchup with Chris Carson against the Raiders fair enough a four four eight four or three six eight seven nine. We continue all with your telephone calls with Wesley in California. What's up Wesley? Hey, guys, got a couple of quick questions. M Um deciding my flex three people on my flex. I have al Sean Jeffrey uh to choose shown John Brown or Dalvin Cook. This ppruh full uh ppr. Yeah, it's not really a question for me. I really, I'm
gonna go with John Brown. Ok, yeah, just based on the way that he's being used. Had fourteen targets last week. He was not efficient. Um, the Titans have been a little bit inconsistent against wide receivers. They've been better recently, but again this goes back to if you look at their fantasy points against that position, it's a little bit flukey because last week they faced the Bills, who don't have a lot of wide receivers. They don't throw the
ball all that much. They only allowed five receptions for thirty eight yards. The week before when they faced the Eagles, Alsan Jeffrey Nelson, Agilar and them boys fifteen receptions a hundred and ninety seven yards and two touchdowns to wide receivers. So they've been a little bit inconsistent, but they've been prone to giving up fantasy production two wide receivers. I'll
take John Brown. I don't think it's very close either Greg so for me, and if Dalvin Cook plays, I like him in this matchup, but that it's a little bit more risky. So I'll say this, I'm not starting alshon jefferd tonight. If Dalvin Cook plays, I would play Dalvin Cook if he doesn't, you have John Brown. This is how you felt about Cameron Braid, Like you want to see that proven again. It that's more how we feel about Dalvin Cook, like get he's if he plays,
he's gonna be ranked inside of my top twenty. He's a he's an RB two. But John Brown, the way that he's being used, I have him a Wide Receivers sixteen like he is a very very solid wide receiver too. This week against the Tennessee Titans secondary, which has been inconsistent this year. Okay, eight four? You know any other quite is? Why don't anyone cut you off? He said a couple of questions, Yeah, yeah, yeah, Um, I also
try it's a trade. Uh what's the name? Uh? So Aaron Rodgers and Julio Jones for Cam Newton and DeAndre Hopkins. It's kind of a wash. Which side are you on? Uh? And the reason why I did it was because I was looking at Aaron Rodgers and Julio schedule at the towards the end of the season. Uh, during the finals and championships. I liked Cam Newton's and hop Hopkins schedule better. So so fine, you like, do you like him? Better?
Go get him? Fine, it's nothing I like. I like that trading more so in a four point passing such down league, just because Cam Newton adds more with his legs six points passing, I think Aaron Rodgers just throws a ball more. The wide receivers are kind of a wash. One thing I will say about looking forward to schedules at the end of the season, it's kind of hard to predict because one injury takes place to a secondary or you know, a defensive player, and that the whole
outlook of that team's defense can completely change. For example, you know, I'm not I don't want this to happen. I'm not saying it's gonna happen. But if Jalen Ramsey goes down for the Jaguars, you're looking forward and you're saying, oh, Week fifteen and sixteen, I'm scared of the Jaguars defense. If Jalen Ramsey goes down at any point, that defense is not nearly as scary as it is if they have Jalen Ramsey. So I'll just throw that out there.
There's a lot of hypotheticals. It's just it's very hard to predict what a defense is going to look like at that point in season. Great, Yeah, I completely understand what you're saying to me. It's really is a wash. You like too, better go for it like it doesn't. It's not that which of a difference. It's a wash. But I would probably lean the Rogers up if or four. I agree with that. If we're four eight fourth three, Shay stage seven nine, we hit up Darren and Philly.
What's up, Darren, Let's go Eagles one one second? Darren, Hold hold that thought? Why why are you doing that? Because I'm gonna bet on them? Let's go Eagle. You haven't yet? Yeah, you bet you want You obviously are rooting for the team that you're gonna bet on. Greg. I understand that, but I feel like you gotta just like like poking the bear for no reason? Are you the bear in the sistance I wrote for your teams? You don't why you don't weekend? You for the Jets
weekend and we don't against them? Like guys, I'm a cowboy, friend, Darren, Darren, we were leaving you out of this here. How about the cowboy? What are you doing? I'm just doing I'm doing the Fantasy executive. Fantasy executive on the Fantasy Secret, I hate air yards. Your man, Darren, what do you got my back? All right? So I got two quid questions, Um, who would you drop key Indiana receiver? Would you drop
Kenney Stills for Rogers? I heard that, okay? And then the next question I have is my running backs is Zekiel Elliott, James Conner, Alex Collins and Carlos High. You think I'm all right for the rest of the season. I think you're fine, um, because I look, even if Connor loses the job he has, he has Carlos Hide as his art a job he's not gonna lose his job. And Alex Collins, I know he's kind of like in the Baltimore Pit of misery right now. But better days
are coming for Alex Collins. Once he works his good graces back up, he goes a few games without fumbling, We're gonna get back to that point where we get fifty plus touches out of Alex Collins. Maybe that's just me being the ultimate optimist for him, but I do think better days are coming for him as of right now. I do agree he's more of like a flex often more so than the r B two. We're drafting Alex Collins to be Look if you could, if you could
trade James Connor for anything right now? I think you look into it. But even even if you don't, you still have Carlos Hide as your r B two. I think you're all right. It seems a little bit more pessimistic, just a little nervous. I think it's fair to be nervous. Is he all right? I think he's all right. He's okay. Hey. In the movie The Strangers, it sucks. I agree with you. It's a bad movie. Did you see the second part of it? Yeah, that one's horrible too. I'm gonna have
to watch it. You know, it's October, gre you gotta watch some Halloween movies. Get yourself in the mood, in the spirit. What do you greg? What do you throw a Halloween party? Do you have do you have whatever? I don't, I don't know whatever politically channel on in the background while during a Halloween or do you have you know, do you have a Halloween movie on? You have Halloween usually music on? Usually during the party? I put sports on? What sports wanted a Halloween? Darren? And
what you're still here is. I mean, Darren wants to be part of the show. Let me be part of the show. You just the want to be on because he was how about them cowboys, Darren? How about those cowboys? There you go, let's go. Greg. Cut Darren enough. You got it wrong. You got the damn thing wrong. You're Cowboys fan, and you got the damn line wrong about them cowboys. You should have those cowboys. Come on. It's unbelievable cowboy that I heard. How about them? You're way
too nice to these people. You give a Cowboys fan opportunity. Screwed it up. Thank you, We're Kee Marchino. We're done with you too for the day. Thank god, getting rid of getting rid of this. We'll finish up the podcast, especially you rate subscribe, like, leave a comment. We need it all. I don't really can have it's Cowboys fan whatever. If it was a Patriots fan, I would want to
get him off the air, too ridiculous. I have a little bit fun with the callers, Greg, Come on, I get happy that Darren had an opinion of the movie Strangers. By the way, do you you have sports on in the background? Sports round, sports on the background, basketball on right, right, then we're college football. Okay, um on on, I'm not gonna be able to make a party. By the way, I'm sorry. My family's having their Halloween party the same night. I have an obligation. I'm sor so I usually want
to go baseball playoff World Series. You have all potential, look, and we have some music playing as well. Okay, so the way, yeah, it's fine. Do you make it? Do you do you really address the apartment up decorations? It look all spooky. Get any you get any of those like purple lights, put the purple light bulbs in to try and like, I don't make your apartment look you know more. Halloween were using cool stuff the web. You have the web going on. I bought my costume. I
can't miss my family's party all costume last night. Would you get I'll tell you off the air. Are you're not gonna reveal it? Right? So then I won't reveal my I'm assuming that we're gonna dress up here, right, I didn't plan on doing that. What we did last year we did was just the studio. Last year we were supposed to Michaels and do something. Yeah, I know, what do you mean? We there's no we in this, Greg, No, no, no, no, no, no no no. I'm I have a bunch of editing
priorities that I need to be doing. And you remember yesterday you said you were two days you said he missed being you want to be to me? What have my role? So I had to go. So if I'm not editing, who's editing? Greg? Steve was here yesterday? Okay, yeah, what a once? We have NBA stuff to do. Well, we'll hopefully tonight. If any wants to apply to an editing job, people have to actually have people apply on
Twitter sliding those d M you know what. No contact, Frank, No, because I'm not in charge of this can be you don't hire people, you do, but then you just pass along to me anybody you like. I feel like, I feel like you want to do all these things, but then you just pass on to me. Well yeah, so not used to do with you, right? No, yeah, you're right, he did. But I'm like, I don't pass things on to you. Everything I passed on to you. You have your headphones on, you print it on here. You you
don't hear me. No, that's not true. Saying stuff to do, I do it I get it done. What you mean I said you in a meeting invite? What time was the call? It was that call? I was here at ten am today. That's the time he was come to work. Every day, I'm usually here ten fifteen. It depends on the editing workload. God, unbelievable is the inner workings of fright. We'll get your quarterbacks ten rankings off, you're one. We have we have two minutes, two minutes left. You know
we're gonna get to the quarterback ranks. Now, well, I started a quarterback and he a tight ends. Quarterback rankings anything interesting? Edgey luck, borderline are borderline KB twelve um KiB one. This week we get the Shawn Watson. You're the lowest on the Shawn Watson. Why might move even lower because the Bills secondary has actually been very good against quarterbacks the past couple of weeks. That's actually the strength of their defense. And DeShawn Watson is dealing with
a chess injury and his offensive line is terrible. So there's not a high over under total in that game. I actually think it's a closer game. The fact that the spread is nine and a half points, I think it's absurd. I don't know that the Texans have done anything to earn a nine and a half point favorite. What did you think this rumor yesterday that once the Bills signed Derek Anderson, he's gonna like start in two weeks.
The Bills. Yeah, and they signed Derek Anderson and they're gonna prepare him to start the next couple of weeks. That's the point play, Josh Allen, do you think I have Philip Rivers who lower thirteen? I just think the Browns defense slightly but nothing, nothing crazy, Alright, Fantasy frenzies up next to Jim Day, Chris vanjer and the Birthday Boy, the Fantasy executive, but Freak Naville. My name is Greg Sels. We thank you so much for watching, listening to the
Fantasy BFFs. We'll do it all again tomorrow, we hope,
