It was the last close to being done tonight in Mexico City. You got the Chargers and the Chiefs. We have a whole lot to talk about before we get there, Frankie,

how was your weekend? Weekend was pretty fun here Greg, obviously a great week eleven of fantasy football action. We'll talk all about tet that today. The winners, the losers the situations. But it was a good week a weekend, Greg, I had a lot of time to relax. Was much needed. How you doing, buddy, I'm doing all right, man, I'm doing all right. Saturday with Judy's birthday, so it was more celebrating for us. I mean, birthday, Judy. Very busy month.

For that's my life. It will be busy month. Um. And then yesterday I was here, helped down in the morning show, produced a little bit, watch some football, make some spaghetti and meatballs last night as well, stepping it up, Greg, Alright, that's what I like to hear. A little bit of a pasta sounds good, but man, I make good meatballs. Man, you gotta come over and trying to. I had some pasta slices of pizza from the local pizzeria as well. Here you go, Rick Tony Ala vodka slices. How about that.

Sounds delicious, It's very good, sounds very very It needed a salad for lunch today and I achieved that. Yeah, no salad for me. What do you have a lunch? What are you eating that? I don't have time to eat, Greg. We only have time to work, it's all we have time to do right now, Frank, it's literally all we have time to do. All right, let's get in new we Let's begin our recap from this past week, and

it begins in Baltimore. Lamar Jackson, the favorite, i'd say for the MVP Award right now, was downright dominant in a Monstro's victory over the Houston Texans. Well, Gregg, he was dominant like he always is. You know, people talking about him as they should be, more so in the m v P conversation him and Russell Wilson there at the top. Christian McCaffrey. Maybe if the Panthers would have shown up yesterday, would be in that conversation as well.

But another four passing touchdowns for Lamar Jackson. If you were holding a over under ticket and over ticket for Lamar Jackson's passing touchdowns, you might as well go ahead and cash that ticket because it was sixteen and a half on the season. He surpassed that yesterday. I have that ticket. I hope you do as well. Another eighties six yards rushing. I mean, the guys, just ridiculous, Gregg. He's on pace for over three thousand passing yards, over

a thousand rushing yards. And he's starting to make all the throws now as a quarterback as well. I mean, this is the second time this season, Greg that he has four passing touch four or more passing touchdowns in a game. A one hundred and thirty nine point to passer rating yesterday. The guy who's just an animal. It's

been ridiculous. Yeah, he's been absolutely insane. It's not just kind of like Dak Prescott will get to this in a few moments, beating up on bad teams like Lamar Jackson's dominating good teams, the class of the a f C New England and Houston too. In the last three weeks, he has dominated them. Man, this is a different guy, a different player than we saw last year, and he is more confident. We know what he could do running the football, and now you know what he could do

passing the football as well. He is has shown touch, the ability to throw it deep. It's been other worldly. It hasn't necessarily worked out for the wide receivers for this Baltimore Ravens team. We've seen a lot of mark Ingram, a lot of Mark andrews. Lamar Jackson has been like we said, there's no other words to describe him. Yeah, Greg, I have Hollywood Brown as a loser from yesterday, the reason being he has not had more than four targets

in a game since returning from injury. Now, I understand a lot of these games have been blowouts where they don't really need him to do anything, and you know they're playing with a positive game script where they're just turning and handing the ball off to Marketing Room or handing the ball off to Gus Edwards and those guys are making plays, or Lamar Jackson's just going out there and running by himself. But ultimately we have to start to downgrade Hollywood Brown because I really liked him for

this matchup. It wasn't a good matchup. The Houston Texans secondary is not a good one. Lamar Jackson still threw for four touchdowns yesterday, and the upcoming schedule, this is

the main park. The next three games for the Baltimore Ravens at the l A. Rams, so that means Hollywood Brown is likely gonna see Jalen Ramsey, then the San Francisco forty Niners, who they have one of the best secondaries in the league, and then after that they faced the Buffalo Bills again, a tough matchup for wide receivers, likely going to see for Davious White. So I think we have to start to downgrade Hollywood Brown more so into that boom bust low end wide receiver three territory.

I think so too. I I don't think you could rely on Hollywood Brown as you did earlier this year. Unfortunately, I completely completely agree with you. Let me know on the other side, with the Houston Texans where Deshaun Watson had the biggest defeat and his football career yesterday against the Baltimore Really, where do you hear that? Greg, Not just because the broadcast said it like times, dude, in a matter of a minute. This is the biggest deficit

of his career. This is the biggest margin of of loss that he's ever suffered in his college in his NFL career. Which, okay, that's fine, Like we understand, you know, you could have said it, you know, one too, maybe three times, But dude, how many times did they say that yesterday? I mean, this was bad. He was sacked six times. We know that the Texans offensive line is not a good one, but coming into this game, the Baltimore Ravens were in the bottom of the league and

pressures correct. So I know that they have a good defense. I will credit that to their secondary. These were coverage sex right because you see de Shaun Watson running around, running for his life, and usually after he runs around, he makes crazy plays. He throws the ball down the field to DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills, one of the tight ends.

Whatever it might be that didn't happen yesterday. This Baltimore Ravens secondary is legit, greg since they have acquired Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith has come back from injury, we're talking about one of the best secondaries in the league it now, and the broadcast also brought this up, so I will give them credit. But Marcus Peters is playing at an all pro level once again. I mean he limited DeAndre Hopkins yesterday. Matt pass interference was very obviously

playing out. What's changed Marcus Peters, Like why he's all of a sudden good again. It could be the scheme, you know, maybe I don't know much about the Ravens defense in terms of do they play more man covers, do they play more you know, zone coverage, But the scheme might just be a better fit for Marcus Peters, and we've always known this. We know that he's a talented player, he's more of a he's a gambler. He takes risk. You know, he's willing to jump routes in

order to get interceptions and and break up passes. But at times he gives up big plays as well. But credit to this Ravens defense. Shaun Watson, one of the biggest losers from yesterday, did not register a touchdown through an interception, sacked six times. DeAndre Hopkins fine seven receptions for eight yards, but he's not really giving you what

you were expecting coming into the season either. This entire Houston Texans team yesterday, they were all losers, Gregor, they really were everything with one of them a complete losers. Exactly about your boy boy, carolos High got in the end. Let's go more winners, losers. It's all coming up. You're

All around watches on Zumo Zomo channel seven nineteen. Got a lot of things watch us. Let's go Greg, All right, let's go in Dean. Is that time of the week. Let's get into it. We're gonna tell you who one loss and was kind of yesterday around the NFL the BFFs presents Winners won, I won, Losers, you suck. You are one pathetical loser and oh man, I have no idea what's going on. Let's begin later in the day.

Yesterday was with Arizona and San Francisco. It was a good game with Jimmy G having a monster outing leading the four Niners whom may come from behind victory. So Jimmy G he was a winner. Well, my biggest story from this game the biggest loser that is David Johnson. David Johnson, Greg, the biggest loser. And how can you argue with that? He was on the field for a few snaps yesterday, but you wouldn't have known be nine nine snaps. Can you tell me how many total yards

he had yesterday? I can because it was as many as you and I had Frank combined. That is exactly correct, Greg. That is zero total yards for David Johnson. Clearly just not healthy or falling out of the rotation. Man the rotation. Here with the Arizona Cardinals, Kenyan Drake played fifty eight snaps, just eight for David Johnson. We had twenty three total running back opportunities for Kenyan Drake in this game. Sixteen carries, seven targets David Johnson. Donut, donut, donut, Lots of doughnuts

all around here. When it comes to David Johnson, I mean I think that you can argue that he is a drop candidate at this point. I mean it would have surprised me, if you know, this is kind of like a Chief's running back situation, where all right, this guy isn't part of the rotation, this guy's inactive, and then the next week thing has changed. So looking deeper leagues, obviously you're still holding onto David Johnson, but the Cardinals are on buy next week? Want to buy Cardin's runna

buy in week twelve? You were desperate to win, desperate to get in the playoffs. You're talking about it dropping a first round pick, and Fantasy football he was bench yesterday. I can't blame you, man, That's why I brought it up as well. And when you hard to argue with it, and when you get out of the by James Edmonds might be ready, then who knows where the hell are he slots in? Yeah, it's it's a it's a tough

situation right now. So if you wanted to drop David Johnson, if you really need that roster spot, I don't think it's crazy. I don't really know how this is gonna turn around. You know, even last week against Tampa Bay and only had five carries for two yards. He had one reception, he lost a fumble, and it seemed like this performance by Kenyan Drake was really a reaction to how bad David Johnson was last week. Like this was almost a just a benching. Either he's not healthy or

he has really fallen out of the grace. He's healthy, man, but they owe him so much money. They just signed him to a contract experience, so it's a very very odd situation. I would imagine that he is not healthy here. But yeah, from a fantasy football perspective, he's on a buy You need that roster spot. I can't blame you if you want to drop David Johnson. Now, coming out of the bye, Greg, they'll have the Rams, the Steelers, the Browns, and the Seahawks. The Rams of Steelers are

tough matchups right now for running backs as well. On the other side, when he's speaking of running backs, Tivin Coleman could not take advantage about Matt Rida. He carried the ball twelve times fourteen yards. He moster carried the ball six times thirteen yards. The running it was not working at all yesterday against the Arizona Cardinals. That Tevin Coleman did give you a forty eight yards through the air.

Of course, thirty weeks seven came on the first player the second half, and Jeff Wilson Jr. Stole his touchdown yesterday through the air, but kind of his aster game. You started any of the Cardinals right, any of the four Niners running backs, any running backs in general outside of Kenyan Drake, he was pretty good, But yeah, you're right, the forty Niners it was a mess yesterday. Thirty seven snaps for Tevin Coleman. He had sixteen running back opportunities.

Couldn't really do anything with that outside of that one reception. As you mentioned, Raheem Mostard thirty five snaps, so pretty even split between him and Coleman. He only had six carries and three targets. Couldn't make the most out of that. And then how about this Greg the kicker, not not like the kicker for the forty Niners, the kicker as in what I'm about to tell you is completely ridiculous. Jeff Wilson plays one snap, Greig, what are you doing? Night? Snap?

One five yard touchdown reception. It couldn't even go to Mostart or Tevin Coleman, which most with many which many people were starting yesterday, Jeff Wilson was not started anywhere. Jimmy Garoppolo through through two bad interceptions, but overall pretty damn good game from here. Four touchdowns, four twenty four yards nine point four yards attempt. We know that the match against the Arizona Cardinals is a very good one. To not be scared of Patrick Peterson. Since he has returned,

he has not been the Patrick Peterson of old. You can still take advantage of the secondary when it comes to streaming quarterbacks against them. And then Kyler Murray Greg how about this the only quarterback and now he's done it twice to exceed over twenty five fantasy points in a game against the forty Niners. He's done it two times now in his last three games. Absolutely, Jimmy loves facing off against the Arizona Cardinals. Tevin Coleman doesn't really

like facing off. I guess the Arizona Cardinals Fornins find a way to win. And Deebo Samuel has just been, as you mentioned, out of control good right now for the Niners team. Is he a must start every week? Yeah? I mean, if we have to take a look at the matchups here, I haven't looked into the forty Niners schedule, but this back to back one hundred yard games, you know, the targets have been pretty consistent. At least you know. I'm I'm there, you go, I'm looking at Curtis Samuel.

How about that Craig last name is correct, But back to back one hundred yard games that targets have been there for Deebo Samuel as well. I don't know that. What do you consider a mustart like a top twenty four wide receiver. I probably wouldn't say that, but I think he's in the wide receiver three conversation. I had him just outside my my top thirty six wide receivers because I thought that Emmanuel Sanders being there was going to hurt him. But obviously Sanders still was not healthy.

It's back to back games of double digit targets for Deebo Samuel. Coming up, he has Green Bay Baltimore, New Orleans. All right, Well, yeah, I'm gonna like him against green Bay. He's gonna be a wide receiver three there. But Baltimore is the Ravens secondary. As we've talked about Greig, They're they're playing pretty damn well right now. He certainly are the Ravens have been good at that game has not been flexed, by the way, it's gonna stay at one

p m. Eastern time on that Sunday. Let me move on, Frank, let me hit another game, and that is Indianapolis. You have those Colts based all against jackson Mill and they just street dominate them. They just dominate them every fast of the game. We saw Nick Foles return, had a great first drive, was five or six, had a touchdown. We're like, all right, nice, that was the end of that. The Colts ran all over the Jacks. Marlin Mac was awesome until he broke his hand and then begin the

Johnathan Williams shell back from the dead. Indeed, yeah, let's start off with the Jacksonville Jaguars. You know, I was really interested to see what the target share breakdown would be here with Nick Foles back his first game playing quarterback with the team once again, we thought that that would mean good thing for D. D. Westbrook. No, no, no, no, no, not so fast. DJ tark do do do do do do.

Fifteen targets yesterday accounted for thirty two percent of the Jaguars target share fifty two percent of their air yards. So we said this on Friday heading into this game, that DJ Chark he's just too talented and the places that he's made this year, the places that he makes down the field, I mean, he is a legitimate wide receiver one in the NFL, and he is proving that right now. Uh he is, you know, for fantasy purposes, he's a top fifteen wide receiver. I feel good saying that.

Chris Conley second on the team with eight targets. Here, Greg Leonard Fournette third on the team with seven targets. D D. Westbrook all the way down at six targets, he was fourth on the team. You know, I think we we could a little bit of cold water on the D. D. Westbrook love for now. On the other side of the ball, Greag, you mentioned it, we had the dual Tornado, the double spin moved by Marlon Mackus today. That was awesome and he was running really well, had

a touchdown, but ultimately ended up breaking his hand. As you mentioned, it's his right hand. It's the one that he uses to hold onto the football. So we're not gonna see him this week. They played Thursday Night football. I saw Adam Steff the report that said they don't think it's season ending, but that tells me he's probably gonna miss at least a few weeks here. I don't know many players are be able to play through this injury, obviously,

not ideally running backs. Defensive players usually like to have the club, you know, it's harder to do that as a running back. So John and Williams will talk more about him on tomorrow's show. Obviously, he really stepped in and looked great. We'll see what happens to Jordan Wilkins, how quickly he can come back. We know that the Colts want to rush the football. He could be somebody

that at least this week very very beneficial advantasy teams. Yeah. Absolutely, and you know they play on Thursday night football short week divisional matchup, very important game for the a f C South against the Houston Texans. The Xin's entered yesterday with a really good run defense, and then the Baltimore Ravens ran all over them. This could end up being a messy situation though, because again you do have to

pay attention to Jordan Wilkins. He was questionable for most of last week, so it seemed like, you know, he still had a chance to play yesterday, and ultimately he didn't and Jonathan Williams took advantage of that twenty nine snaps, fourteen total touches, a hundred and forty seven total yards. But if Jordan and Wilkins plays, that's gonna change things here for the cults here, and uh, if you do need a PPR option, not hem. Heines going up against

the Texans. Greg mark Ingram just had two receiving touchdowns, so he's definitely in play as well. All right, let's take a brave We had a lot more to get to, including in Detroit both sides of that game, a lot to do. NFL season is now alapadas and you can be going the eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament. My Seger lineup using the Daily Roder dot Com DFS a lot of optimizer.

We're all trying our best. Isn't that all I can do? That's all we can do. Trying my best here, That's

all we could do. Thank you do. We move on, Let's go. We Allions. We can't believe we just talked about Jonathan Williams, like I really had to think about that during the break. This is the Jonathan Williams from the Buffalo Bills from a couple years from New Orleans Saints. Do you remember it was the Shaw McCoy's Shaw McCoy and Jonathan Williams and I cut. I will never forget this. I drafted Alvin Kamara before the season began. I cut

Alvin Kamara because everyone was raving about Jonathan Williams. You're not wrong, he didn't make the team, Frank, I guess you were wrong. I was dead wrong. Alvin Kamara just goes out to be a generational running back with that. Yeah, um, then Jonathan Williams very much back in the swinger things. He's back, as is Boss Scarbro. The Lions may have lost at all yesterday to the Dallas Cowboys seven. Both

Scarborough open up a lot of eyes. He had fourteen carries, the most of any Lions running back since carry On Johnson did it like six weeks ago. Fourteen carriers, fifty five yards to touchdown. Jamie McKissick, next running back up, had just three carries on the day. The Cowboys, on the other hand, well, it was a dark Prescott show. He threw for four hundred and forty four yards passing yesterday, three touchdowns, no interceptions. Ezekiel Elliott, what's down dependent? Ezekiel

Elliott had forty five yards on the ground. He had twenty eight through the air, including the receiving touchdown, a seventeen yard touchdown that he did the dock afterwards as a celebration, And that was kind of the game. That was kind of the game. Let's start on the Detroit Lions side of things. Greg bow Scarborough, Yeah, I brought this up downstairs, and I called him Derrick Henry Light because the guy is like six ft three, two thirty powers spot to call him Derick Henry Heavy. I was

about to bring that up. It was actually pretty good. I enjoyed that. But former Alabama running back we all thought, maybe not all of us, but a few of us thought that Both Scarborough was gonna be a thing in the NFL. Hasn't necessarily happened until now. And I said this on the fan will hurry up. That video coming out shortly as well, so make sure you look out for that on sports Grid. But I think that they wanted a between the tackles runner greg a pure running

back and early downs running back. And I think that that's what they have in Bo Scarborough because Tai Johnson and j D McKissick, to their credit, they are more satellite backs. They are more change of pace, third down backs, guys that you can throw the ball to. I don't know that either one of those guys was a running back that they can rely on to handle early down workload, you know, just running between the tackles and picking up that short yardage as well. And that's what Bo Scarbro

did yesterday. I mean he scored a rushing touchdown, which you know, when was the last time a Lion's running back scored a rushing touchdown. It feels like, you know, we've been trying to get production out of this position for a while and Both Scarbro was able to do that yesterday. Play cent of the snaps and finished with fifth the five rushing yards and a touchdown. Much like Jonathan Williams. If you need a running back heading into next week, I think that he will be one of

the more popular ones on the waiver wire. Greg. When it comes to the Lion's pass catchers, Marvin Jones for for forty three and two touchdowns, I'm not necessarily going to call him a winner, but he had a good game yesterday. We couldn't give one of those to Kenny Gollay. Really, Kenny Galladay has the late grab, you know, down the field, the big catch, doing his best Calvin Johnson impersonation there. Greg, that's all. He had five targets, one catch, thirty four yards.

It's very clear that you know he is not going to be the wide receiver to Kenny Golladay as long as Jeff Drischool is the quarterback there. Dak Prescott, man, keep on doing that Dak dance, do whatever you want, because it is working. I guess we're we're gonna find out because they faced in New England Patriots coming up next week. Greg, but four forty four yards and three touchdowns, massive game. Dak Prescott is on pace over five thousand

passing yards. Just incredible. Ezekiel Elliott, You're right, Greg, I mean something's going on with him, whether it's the offensive line, whether it's Zeke related. He has not run the ball efficiently, not really be not really used a ton in the past game either. So I'm not gonna go as far as to say he is solely touchdown reliant, but over the past two weeks he's kind of in touchdown reliant.

It's kind of interesting because last week the Cowboys got a ton of a ton of crap, right because Dak Prescott was so successful and they went away from him because they kept trying to establish Ezekiel Elliott established Zeki Elliott. One of things we really liked had Zeke coming into the year Signs being awesome was that this Cowboys offense for revolves around Zeke. Well, what we didn't realize was

Kellen Moore's offense it doesn't necessarily revolve around Zeke. And yeah, they think he was Eke involved in the game plan, but he's certainly looked a step slow or I don't want to say big, but he's not as shifty as I think we're used to seeing from Ezekiel Elliott, and this offense is much better when they've gone through Dak Prescott rather than Zekul Ezekiel Elliott. Sure, he had over hundred yards against the Giants, but everyone kind of does.

You had a hundred yards against the Eagles too, though, I mean that's pretty impressive. As an Ezekiel Elliott owner, would you be during I personally no, because yes, he's been held under fifty rushing yards each of the past two games, but the three games before that, he rushed for over a hundred yards in each of those. I mean, he has a touchdown in well a lot of games, every game but three so far this season, So yeah, I mean he's scoring. We know that he's using the

red zone. Tony Pollard scored the receiving touchdown yesterday, but that was on a third down play, so I think it makes sense why Tony Pollard was on the field. And ultimately, you know, the past two games have not been great. But next week he faces the Patriots, who, yes, they limited Miles Sanders yesterday, but you know, over the past month or so, they've given up bigger, bigger games against running backs, big rushing performances. Then Zeke gets the

Buffalo Bills in week. Their team should be able to run against them. That's the way to attack that defense. Then he gets the Chicago Bears, who just made Todd Gurley look like Todd Gurley again. So you know, I understand you're you're your caution here, Greg, you know you're worried. But ultimately I think that these are three matchups coming up in a row that Ezekiel Elliott should be able to take advantage of. All Right, So Ezekiel Elliott getting

back on track hopefully, Dak Prescott, are you buying him? Well, the schedule for him, you know, is a little bit tougher because going up against that Patriots secondary. You know, I think that the Cowboys are gonna try and hold onto the ball a little bit more there and run it and you know, not really try to attack this secondary. You know, Really, those next three matchups they're kind of the inverse of each other, where, you know, I feel good about Ezekiel Elliott, but I can't really say the

same thing about Dak Prescott. I think you're gonna continue to go with Dak just because of you know, what his upside has been so far to this season. He's probably more of a lower n QB one in these matchups, Craig. But the Patriots still a really strong secondary. You saw that yesterday Carson Wentz struggling against this Patriots defense. The Buffalo Bills Ryan Fitzpatrick did not really do much yesterday either. We know that they have one of the stronger secondaries.

And then the Bears. You can actually run now on the Bears, as we've continued to talk about, Kim Hicks goes down. How you want to attack, You know that Bears defense by running the football, you don't necessarily want to throw. So I feel a little bit better about Zeke than I do about Dac in that passing game. Moving forward, fair enough, the as you mentioned, the matchups for Dak not nearly as easy as they were the

last couple of weeks when he really got hot. We'll see if Zeke is the one to be able to take advantage of that something else we we've talked about off air, and that's somebody starns of his Atlanta Falcons defense. We called Dan Quinn a dead man walking, but out of the bye his defense has been a whole lot better. I know that they've changed up who's calling the plays. Uh, Dan Quinn no longer calls the defensive plays. They've separated

it by downs. You have rheim Raheem Morris calling on third downs, another guy calling him at first and second down. Whatever they're doing, it's working. They held the Saints and Drew Brees nothing. They held Carolina's literally three points yesterday. Atlanta, Listen, they're not good, they're not going to the playoffs, but

really impressive performance by this defense. Atlanta's defense a huge winner over the past two weeks, and I think you want to pick him up for fantasy because they're going up against Jamis Winston and the Bucks next week. We know how turnover prone Jamis Winston has been only this season, not even recently, but throughout his entire career. So I love that Falcons defense. They limited Drew Brees had just nine points last week. They just decimated Kyle Allen yesterday,

Greg five sacks, four interceptions. They limited the Panthers to three points as well. So you're right, whatever they're doing, continue doing it, because that Falcons defense is playing extremely, extremely well right now. Brian Hill Greg I thought was a huge loser from yesterday. Quadre Allison uh vultures a touchdown away from him, but they couldn't run against a team that had been very bad against the run on the season in the Carolina Panthers. Uh, they were able

to throw, though. I think we're starting to see a little bit of a shift here in the way that you want to attack the Panthers is their secondary has been very beat up, and I think that we're starting to see, you know, Calvin Ridley eight receptions, a hundred forty three yards and a touchdown. Monster game. You want to you wanted more out of Julio Jones, but I think that this was an indication of things to come. Greg Without Austin Hooper, we saw more targets and we

saw more efficiency for Calvin Ridley. Yesterday it was a much better game for Calvin Ridley. He clearly the biggest beneficiary of Austin Hooper being out. He stepped up. Julio is Julio and that's fine. Brian Hill, big loser, as you said all day long. Yeah, definitely on the other side, your boy d J. Moore Man shout out to the Maryland Turfs. This guy has been so consistent, even with Kyle Allen really regressing the past month or so. D J. Moore.

Just you know, the targets have been there, the receptions, the yards have been there. He's perfect for PPR. He's not scoring touchdowns. You know, he only has one touchdown on the season. You would think that, you know, based on the yard a total that he has, more touchdowns are going to come. I don't think that you change anything right like I could have d J. Moore, just

keep rolling him out there. This is a disappointing game for Curtis Samuel, but again, he's had at least six targets in every game since I believe it's Week two or Week three, so the targets have actually been pretty consistent for him as well. All right, let's uh, let me go and move on. Frank Kieba running we have a minute ago before the break. Let me get to Minnesota and Denver, because this game was wild Denver, look at the head, Minnesota's number the entire first half, their

up twenty at halftime. Next thing you know in Minnesota Vikings, we're in all of their second half possessions and come back and defeat the Broncos and twenty three. Brandon Allen could not get it into the end zone at the end of the Game seven, Diggs really stepped up and this one Courtland Sutton is clearly awesome. There's my biggest State points from this one. Yeah. And I would have Stefan Diggs and Kyle rough in the category greg because I you know they're heading into a by in week

twelve and the coming out of the bye. I would expect Adam Feeland to be back. And again, you know a Stefan Diggs has been very boom er bust. He has not He's not seeing big target numbers. He only had five targets yesterday and he caught all of those. Now he does see deep targets, which is good for fantasy, but he's more of a boom bust, low and wide receiver to Adam Feeland is gonna be back for this

team as well. You know that they want to run the ball with Dalvin Cook and I think the same could be said for Kyle Rudolph earth Smith more involved yesterday scored a touchdown, So I mean I would put those guys in the A category. Portland's sun awesome, man, amazing. You want to target target this Viking secondary with wide receivers right now? I got more to come when it comes back to the Broncos. We'll do that. Next NFL

season is now upon us. So you can become the eighth person away in one million dollars in a FanDuel Draft Kings tournament by setting their lineups using the Daily Order dot Com DFS Lineup Optimizer.

We're talking about Denver and once to go out of this game. Cortland sound is awesome, Right, He's awesome. He could be somebody that a lot of people are on next year, depending on who the quarterback is in Denver. My other takeaways are no offense eleven Dar, It's like, this is what we've been waiting for. Right eleven targets

yesterday and it was just constant. I mean, that's what eleven is. But it was just Constant Peppery with Noah Fan four for sixty was a final total. Since Brandon Allen has been there, he's just and Manuel Sanders left. It's been all no A Fan all the time, which has been amazing. Tim Patrick was activated off IR. He immediately stepped into the starting lineup over um DA John

Hamilton's eight targets yesterday for Tim Patrick four seventy seven. Yeah, I do have slight interest in Tim Patrick in deeper leagues as well. Again, you mentioned his first game back, saw the eight targets, Noah Fan eleven targets in this game, and it kind of comes at the expense of the running backs because they're not throwing to the running backs

as much, Craig. So this is now confirmed. Last week or two weeks ago, whenever the Broncos played last we had worried that the that Brandon Allen didn't throw the ball to Philip Lindsay and Roy's Freeman because Joe Flacco that's basically all he did. He kept targeting the running backs. But now this is a two game sample size that we have where Brandon Allen does not like to throw the ball to the running backs. So I think that is something that we can actually, you know, hang our

hat on and pay attention to moving forward. They said they wanted to get Philip Lindsay more involved yesterday, greg he played more than double the amount of snaps that Royce Freeman did and he had eight teen running back opportunities to just nine for Royce Freeman. But yeah, if you need a running back the Noah Fant call, I think that's a really good one. He only came down with four for sixty, but you know they were just

forced feeding him. Even on that final play of the game where you know they were down on the goal line, they chose to throw the ball to no a fan of all people. So they're trying to get him more involved. And you know, I think that that's something that you should pay attention to from a fantasy perspective. For sure, doing everything they can do to get no offense involved. And as you also said, the spiking secondary, which were

so used to avoiding how should be targeted. Yeah, coming into this game, Gregg, they were allowing the most receptions to wide receivers in the entire NFL. And I tweeted this out last week, Drink that if Brandon Allen could just be adequate, then Courtland Sutton was going to have a big game, and that's exactly what happened. I think that we can also give some credit to Courtland Sutton on the path city through to Tim Patrick. Did you see that that was ridiculous that he started for the

Bengals right now at quarterback. They were trying to be creative, man, Like they read that play twice the second two plays in a row, coorting something through the first time and they kept running the second time. Very very cool. Yeah, they're finding ways, like creative ways to just get colding something the ball. Like that's how much they like him. Hundred thirteen receiving yards. He had two rushes for ten yards, and he had that thirty eight yard passes him like

they want to get caught and Suthing involved. Absolutely absolutely. Okay, let me move on, Frank, continue on around the NFL, and I want to get to the New York Jets and the Washington football team. As the Jets were able to defeat Washington yesterday seventeen, it wasn't that close. My biggest takeaway outside of the Jets, of course, body Asks is horrific. Like beyond he's a good guy. Most his offensive line. What can I do? Tell me what I could do to help you? Please let me know you suck? Bro?

Why are you being such a hater on Dwyane? I made you feel pretty good with Danny Dimes right now, as asked it, Yeah, he's not good. And I said this at the time when he came in to that game against Maryland. He committed to Maryland and then left

for a house. And now the truth is coming out here, Greg I said this at the time when he entered that game on Thursday Night Football against the Vikings, when case Keenum originally got hurt that if he is the starting quarterback, then Terry mclorin is nothing more than a wide receiver four. And I actually got some backlash on that. Well, how's it looking right now? He had three receptions for

sixty nine yards. Not really nice because you know all of those came basically on one play late in the game, when this game was all but said and done, a forty one yard catch, you know, in the final minutes of this game. And Terry mclaurin's value is basically it's all sapped. It's all sapped. Now with with Dwayne Haskins as the quarterback. He's really talented, but he is not talented enough to overcome the play of Dwayne Haskins on the Jet side of things, Greg, we'll talk about this

more tomorrow. This is a big waiver wire week for your New York Jets because they're going up for your New York Jets. Like you're a Jet fan, right like, as if you would be as dumb as me to be a Jet fan. Sam Donald four touchdowns, first time he's done that in his career. Now going up against the Oakland Raiders, the way to attack that defense is through the air. Their secondary is not a good one. Crowder is gonna be awesome in that game. But if

you need a quarterback, Sam Donald is there. And then Ryan Griffin. Greg, we all wanted Chris Herndon to be a thing. Ryan Griffin over a hundred yards yesterday with a receiving touchdown. He had the big two touchdown game against the Jaguars a couple of weeks ago as well. You know, they throw the ball to the shorts of intermediate routes and that means that Jamison Crowder and Ryan Griffin are just gonna continue to have big games for sure.

Ryan Griffin is a much like Noah Fan, someone that a tight end that I think we could count on here down this stretch utilized in this offense. You have to love what you're seeing from Ryan Griffin. All right, let me move on, Frankie, and let me get to the Mills and the Dolphins where the biggest story of the game wasn't necessarily what was on the field. What was said by broadcaster out of Marchlatta here in the month of November mustache? Right? Can we get you to

grow the statish next week? I could probably squeeze that maybe a thing to Sanchez not not really what what was that? Danny? What do you say? We just rewind that to play it one more time? I didn't hear it. I can maybe squeeze out a what dirty dollar mustache? What's it gonna be? Right? Can we get you to grow in the statish next week? I could probably squeeze that maybe a thirty Sanchez, Oh, Mark Sanchez, Greg said,

Mark Stanches Right, what is going on? Man? I mean, look, you're not always gonna know the lingo like what's going on in the world, Greg, But if you don't know it, just don't You don't know it, you don't know it. He said he could. Maybe I can squeeze out the dirty sanches. But what is all right? Well, Addam marshal Letta, We'll send you a link to Urban Dictionary and you can look that up on your own. But shout out to Adam Marshalletta. I don't just avoid things if you

don't know what they meet Greg. When it comes to the Miami Dolphins in this game, DeVante Parker, I believe that he's a must start wide receiver. Man. Shout out to e y R Guy. I hope e Wise do to writ too, because he's having some surgery this week. He's not gonna be on the show. But shout out to e y Well wishes for him as he is

prepping for surgery. But DeVante Parker Greg seven receptions for a hundred and thirty five yards against Tredavious White and this bill secondary, he is legitimately a must start wide receiver. Back to back games with double digit targets. They don't really have anyone else that they could throw the ball to outside of you know, some dump offs to Patrick Laird, who is I guess the Dolphins version of Danny woodhead All of a sudden, But yeah, Devanta Parker is legit.

Calin Blage is not. Move on from there. Josh Allen was great yesterday, Greg, A schedule about to get a lot tougher for both Josh Allen and John Brown. John Brown finishes with fourteen targets, nine receptions, a hundred thirty seven yards and two touchdowns. On Friday, when we were previewing this game and just a slate in general, we reminded you that John Brown has been one of the most consistent wide receivers. He's had such a safe floor.

Yesterday we were reminded of the ceiling. Greg. Absolutely, Josh Allen, Uh, Josh Allen, what we saw yesterday, Um was awesome that you said the kids was gonna tell but John Brown, which just pointed out unbelievable. I mean, it's been him and Michael Thomas crazy now now the only two wide receivers in the NFL with at least fifty receiving yards in every single game. You named this John round. You nailed this John round thing. As I said, well done

by you. Thanks Greig, You're welcome. Frankie. Speaking of Michael Thomas and the New Orleans Saints, they got pack on track yesterday facing off against Tampa Bay Bucks and Jamis Winston, who continues to be terrible. I'm surprised, like we saw him, the Titans step up and play Ryan Tannehill. Why why don't we have to continue to see Jameis Winston. I just don't think that they have a lot of faith

in their backup. Who is Ryan Griffin not the tight end? Yes, Ryan Griffin the quarterback, but Jamis Winston four more interceptions, yes, four more years, four more years. I mean, this game all around, Greig was just a massacre, from Jamis Winston to O. J. Howard to Ronald Jones, to Mike Evans to Chris Godwin Man. Can one team disappoint more Fantasy owners on a weekly basis than the Tampa Bay Bucks.

I'm waiting because I don't think that it's possible. I mean, there are so many Fantasy viable players on this team, and really really talented players who are held down every week, either by their own play or by the play of Jameis Winston, or or by gameflow when it comes to Ronald Jones. Obviously, but it wasn't a tough matchup here, going up against the New Orleans Saints. During the week, they said, yes, we could get Ronald Jones even more

involved as a receiver. What happens Peyton Barber with a receiving touchdown. All right, Well, O J. Howard coming off a game where he had seven targets, he scored a touchdown. That means good things are starting to come for O. J. Howard. We should be excited about O. J. Howard. Well, he gets a ball thrown into the middle of his chest, he bobbles it, it ends up behind his back, it ends up in the hands of a Saints defender, and

he's best for the rest of the game. Cameron Bright now comes in four teen targets and ten receptions for Cameron Brad. O J. Howard, Man, it is over. It is over between me and you, between you and all your fantasy owners. Dropped this guy. I am done with O. J. Howard. We are not doing this ever again, or at least this season. But ultimately Greg is bad performance for Mike Evans, bad performance for Chris Godwin. Godwin has not been the same he got in the end zone, but the artist

totals haven't been there. On the other side, Alvin Kamara against a really really tough. Bucks run defense actually looked really good. Had ten receptions as well. Michael Thomas just ridiculous. What else can you say about this guy? The most consistent fantasy wide receiver, the most consistent real life wide receiver in the game right now, Michael Thomas as good as ever, still on pace and believe to the most receptions in the history of the NFL. Yeah passing, he

would pass Marvin Harrison's recording. We needn't know it at the time. Now you give it out like it's water. Yeah, okay, thanks Greg, thanks for your knowledge. That's what That's just, That's just what I ring. All right, Moving on New England and Philadelphia. The Patriots never down, never a down, Greg. I mean, come on, you don't have to overthink these things grew, Greg, And I told you last week. We told people were trying to get cute, they were trying

to get involved with the Eagles. Oh but the money line. Oh but but you can run the ball against the Eagles right now, No, it doesn't matter. This is the time I will say this. The Patriots did not look great. By They did not look great, very bad. But never doubt, never in doubt, Greg, They are now nine and one. They cover the spread yesterday as we said they were

going to do. This Patriots offense is very bad. Tom Brady through the ball forty seven times yesterday he was twenty six and forty seven, four point six yards per time. I saw a tweet that his touchdown percentage it's three and a half percent, and it's not looking good for Tom Brady right now. They can't run the football either. Sony Michelle has not been good. So we'll have to see what what what's going on with this Patriots offense. You know, Julian Edelman is gonna get his Mohammed sanw

I am sorry, I apologize, man. I mean, this guy shows up with two receptions for four yards, just a complete dud. One of the biggest losers. Yesterday. We thought we were gonna get a big Miles Sanders game. He was fine. Greg eleven Harry's for thirty eight yards. We give you the stat out on Friday that the Patriots

have struggled against running backs recently. So I thought it was gonna be a good game for whoever it was there, whether it was Jordan Howard or Miles Sanders, j H. I in this one, Greg did not see the field. Although they said that he was going to play, he did not play a single snap. Zach Ertz, We're gonna I think we're gonna start to see this consistent, zach Er. It's because you don't have anyone else to throw the ball to. Dallas gott Are also a really really good pickup.

Going up against the Seattle Seahawks next week, they allowed the ninth most fantasy. What's up? All right, let's let's either go out to the white camera. All right, here we go, right. I shouldn't have threw it that high. That was me. Is Nelson Aghiler blowing the game yesterday and of course the video of the guy calling on Nelson goes viral once again because Nelson Aghilar cannot catch

the ball. You have one job for the new even patients. Yesterday, Juan Edaman did leave this to me, receiving five or fifty three. He threw a touchdown as well. I'd saved his day. Tony Romo man he called, He's like, listen, this is gonna be He goes, this is gonna be something tricky. Because of the page Juet's need to play, they use something tricky next play Julian Edelman throws a

touchdown Rose ridiculous and I'm gonn drop a touchdown, which sucked. Um, But Edelman still a guy you want to own in New England really more than anybody. I would say. Then Watson, welcome back. And Watson he only had four targets yesterday. Greg, I know that you were a little bit more excited about him than I was. But they spread the ball around outside of Julian Edelman. You know, we had we had three four targets to Mohammed Sanow we have even

to kill. Harry was active yesterday, was a little bit involved. But it seems like outside of Julian Edelman, they're probably just going to spread the ball around. All right, A couple more losers. I want to get you very very quickly, Robert Woods, cause all of you to be a loser out of nowhere. Amount. I had two leagues, and I hope everything's all right with him, obviously right whenever you

see something personal related. But it sucks for fantasy because in a lot of leaguers and I that I played in, UM, you know, he once that once the game start, you can't pick up anyone else. And I didn't even have another wide receiver. I have a Sammi Michael Hardman. I didn't have a you know, a Bear's wide receiver to to throw my line up. So Pod Gurley big winner yesterday. Man, it was his first game all season with over twenty

carries Grade super Cup only three or fifty three. No squeaky wheel for him is the eleven completed passes by Jared Goff and he like Taylor Gabriel yesterday as well. Jared Goff very bad at least whisky very bad. He has a hip pointer. You know what I mean, Sai Daniel is in there bench. That's what your whisky is for. Frank, I'm grad. We'll do it all go tomorrow. We hope NFL season is now upon us and you can become the eighth person away one million dollars in a fandueler

What did?

What did? Here's what you missed on the BFS. I have Hollywood Brown as a loser from yesterday, the reason being he has not had more than four targets in

a game since returning from injury. Now, I understand a lot of these games have been blowouts where they don't really need him to do anything, and you know they're playing with a positive game script where they're just turning and handing the ball off to marketing room or handing the ball off to Gus Edwards and those guys are making plays, or Lamar Jackson's just going out there and

running by himself. But ultimately we have to start to downgrade Hollywood Brown because I really liked him for this matchup. It wasn't a good matchup. The Houston Texans secondary is

not a good one. Lamar Jackson still threw for four touchdowns yesterday, and the upcoming schedule, this is the main park right the next three games for the Baltimore Ravens at the l A. Rams, So that means Hollywood Brown is likely gonna see Jayalen Ramsey, then the San Francisco forty Niners, who they have one of the best secondaries in the league. And then after that they faced the Buffalo Bills, again a tough matchup for wide receivers likely

want to seech for Davious White. So I think we have to start to downgrade Hollywood Brown more so into that boom bust low end wide receiver three territory. I think so too. I don't think you could rely on Hollywood Brown as you did earlier this year. Unfortunately, I

completely completely agree with you. Let me know, on the other side, with the Houston Texans where Deshaun Watson had the biggest defeat and his football career yesterday against the Baltimore Really, where'd you hear that, Greg, Not just because the broadcast said it like a twelve times, dude, in a matter of a minute. This is the biggest deficit of his career. This is the biggest margin of of loss that he's ever suffered in his college in his

NFL career. Which, Okay, that's fine, Like we understand, you know, you could have said it, you know, one to maybe three times, But dude, how many times did they say that yesterday. I mean, this was bad. He was sacked six times. We know that the Texans offensive line is not a good one. But coming into this game, the Baltimore Ravens were in the bottom of the league in pressures, correct, so I know that they have a good defense. I

will credit that to their secondary. These were coverage sex right because you see de Shaun Watson running around, running for his life, and usually after he runs around, he makes crazy plays. He throws the ball down the field to DeAndre Hopkins, Kenny Stills, one of the tight ends.

Whatever it might be that didn't happen yesterday. This Baltimore Ravens secondary is legit, greg since they have acquired Marcus Peters and Jimmy Smith has come back from injury, We're talking about one of the best secondaries in the league right now. And the broadcast also brought this up, so I will give them credit. But Marcus Peters is playing at all pro level once again. I mean he limited

DeAndre Hopkins yesterday. That pass interference was very obviously, try to figure out what changed in Marcus Peters, like why he's all of a sudden good again. It could be the scheme, you know, maybe I don't know much about the Ravens defense in terms of do they play more man coverage, do they play more you know, zone coverage. But the scheme might just be a better fit for Marcus Peters. And we've always known this. We know that he's a talented player, he's more of a he's a gambler.

He takes risk. You know, he's willing to jump routes in order to get interceptions and and break up passes. But at times he gives up big plays as well. But credit to this Ravens defense. Shaun Watson, one of the biggest losers from yesterday, did not register a touchdown, through an interception, sack six times. DeAndre Hopkins fine seven receptions for eight yards, but he's not really giving you

what you were expecting meaning to the season either. This entire Houston Texans team yesterday, they were all losers.
