Miss is the BFFs. He's Frank Stamfle Here's Eric Young, and I am Gregg Sauce Frank. How's it going on?
Happy Friday to you? Excited always for the Friday show We get to for you the entire week of fantasy football. Of course, there was a game on last night, Greg, but did you did you catch the free UFC Fight Night? What the free UFC Fight Now. Was that was also on Fox? Yeah? Yes, yeah, it came on around Yeah. I was able to catch that. Yeah. The main event was pretty sick ef it was cool, then it was crazy. I kind of enjoyed it. Of Miles Garat versus a
Mason rud Up pretty dope. Yeah. I wonder how you know either one of those world will fair for the for the heavyweight title. We'll see how it goes. What's happening, man, another cold day here in Nashville. Um, And Mason Rudolph is not a heavyweight obviously, UM. I want to start there, and I want to pose at you, Ey, because you're obviously the combat sports guy. UM in this Obviously we talked about this a lot that football is a physical game.
It gets crazy, it's wild, it's not siyada, YadA YadA. But Myles Garrett using his helmet as a weapon is something that you do in your profession, not really what Myles Garrett theoretically would do in his profession. What did you think of what went down? And what do you think of the NFL's response of suspending Miles Garrett and definitely more Key's pouncing being suspended for three games for
the retaliation Ms Rudolph simply being fined. What did you think of all this as you watched it go down last night and the NFL's response. Um, I mean the fact that he used the helmet is nonsense. UM. I mean they have to suspend him. It's basically assault with a weapon. Um, it's the heat of battle. He lost his mind. I do believe that this kind of thing can happen. Uh, that's not condoning what Myles Garrett did. I mean, it's madness that I mean over nothing. I
mean literally nothing. I mean that doesn't matter what he says to I don't I don't know what was said or what happened, but pulling a guy's helmet off and trying to hit him in the head with it is obviously way way too far, And the NFL coming out right away and suspending them is probably the only option for them. Yeah. I thought the NFL handle it as ready as they could. Frank coming out right away and being like you're done for the year. Swift, swift movements. No,
not any thought, not um nothing else. That was after interview people blah blah blah. We all saw it, right, we all saw in her own eyes. I didn't need an NFL investigation. This happened Myles Garrett, whose credit came out today and said um and said, yeah, I was wrong. I apologize to everybody. Blah blah, bah blah, and I will be better as a person. Cool. Yeah, I mean, what else is he going to say? Right? Like e Y said, it's it's the heat of the moment. He
got caught up there. Obviously there's no excuse for what he did. There's people on Twitter online trying to defend what he did. Oh well, Mason Rudolph kicked him in the nuts and and grabbed his face mask. First. I'm not saying that Mason Rudolph is completely innocent here, but obviously, you know, Myles Garrett took it to the next level, not just hitting him with his own helmet, but the fact that like he tugged on his helmet and literally
lifted him to the ground. We're talking about Myles Garrett, which look, if you've ever seen this guy without pads on, this is a massive, massive human being for him to be able to live. Do you buy your own helmet, rip your own helmet off your head, and then slam you on top of your head with your own helmet. I mean that is massive. That that is just insane, you know, just the lifting motion. I mean you could
have like broke Mason Rudos's neck. So you know, look, we live in New York, Greg, We've seen a lot of crazy stuff. We've never seen someone around here getting hit in the head with a helmet. We have it list. It's it's obviously crazy and I think you know, him being suspended for the rest of the season is obviously warranted, and it would have surprised me if it last into next season as well. Fights in the NFL happened all
the time. If him and Mason Rudolph tumble, if Marguie Patsy spears him off of them, We're not talking about this today, No, none of the ultimately matters. So the thing is Miles Garrett took a step too far. Instead we would be talking about is the fact that James Conner immediately reinjured his shoulder. Who knows when he'll be back, if he'll be back. That Juju Smith Schuster so fairly concuss last night. We'll see what his deal is. Jonathan
Johnson left last night's game as well. The Steels are down to James Washington, Jalen Samuel's and nothing. Their quarterback was also nothing. That's exactly right. He look, he threw one touchdown in four inn exceptions. We previewed this game for the fandom hurry up yesterday from a betting perspective, Greg and I said, I don't trust I trust Mason Rudolf about as far as I can throw him. Again, He's a massive human, a heavy heavyweight, not a heavy weight,
but obviously bigger than me. So I don't think that I'm throwing Mason Rudolph, you know, anywhere quite frankly. But yeah, he was dreadful last night. He was got awful. He was sacked four times. You know, he threw four interceptions. We have we have all these injuries to the Pittsburgh Steelers right now, so there's a lot, you know, there's a lot going on outside of this fight, especially from a fantasy football perspective, Like this is what I said the other day when when I was hosting to show
what e Y is. This is a time of year where you need to own the handcuffs for your running backs, especially somebody like James Conner who has been banged up in and out of the lineup all season long, and then you saw the most dropped list. Janalen Samuel's is on it. Let's have us Murray is on it. Like, why are these players being dropped? It doesn't make any sense, especially when the running backs ahead of them have already
been banged up this year. I mean, Alvin Kamara is one, you know, twitch to his ankle away from What'savius Murray being a top five running back for the rest of the season. So this is why we're talking about at this point of the season, you have to own the handcuffs for your respective running backs. On the other side, for Cleveland, e y Odell Beckham got off to a really fast start and then was never heard from again. Essentially right finished with like sixty yards after having almost
fifty on that first drive. So the mess continues. It's clear that Jarvis Landry is Baker Mayfield's favorite wide receiver, um Odell Beckham. You said it a lot, Frank to take the name off the back of the jersey. So we'll see what happens with the wide receivers. And I gotta I gotta throw this out there, Eric Huntless, pretty spry. Yeah, Creemon does look good. It's I think it's a surprising to everybody. Um, I'm definitely a person that is very
surprised by Nick. Nick Chobb is still going to be figured in, but him Hunt, it is going to be a factor going forward. Seventeen targets over his first two games with Cleveland that is massacred. We'll come back. I want to just talk a little bit more about Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt and then win everything from this Sunday here. Lets want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

Frank before we get and we dive in deep in the week eleven, I want to get in to last night we meagued cream on. It looked better, uh, or looked as good as he has last couple of weeks.
He has a major role in this offense. Seventeen targets over the first two games that he's played this year. Nick Chubb, howday Tina season h with twenty seven carries for over ninety yards rushing. That's great, all right. He doesn't play on third downs anymore, he doesn't catch passes in the backfield anymore. There's one target that he dropped. Concerned to you here, Nick Chubb, own you're going down the stretch here. I know that you are very concerned.
As a Chubb owner yourself, I don't actually have one share of Nick Chubb, But personally I'm not really that worried about it because if you look at the upcoming schedule, it's a very good one. Yes, they will face the Pittsburgh Steelers in two weeks time from now, and the Steelers are good against the run. But in Week twelve, we've got the Miami Dolphins. In Week fourteen, we have the Cincinnati Bengals, week fifteen, the Arizona Cardinals Week sixteen,
which is your Fantasy football championship. Make there the Baltimore Ravens. Yes, that is a tougher matchup, but like three out of his next five matchups here are very very good ones. So I understand you're worried about Nick Chubb. The thing is if you try to trade him now, you're not going to get the top five running back value that you would have a month ago if you tried to
trade him. So I'm just holding on. He's still seeing a massive workload, still has forty seven carries over his last two games with Kareem Hunt back, and the majority of these matchups are very good ones. So I'm I'm not as worried as you. Right then, that's a very very good thing. So last night during this game, they were talking about oz for you used to make the playoffs, right, both the Steelers and Lebrowns on the outside looking in there the begame last night, so it was a playoff
chase and have any Steelers playoff tickets? So don't feel very good? Oh sorry, right, not your fault. So your fault, Big Ben got hurt? When did you before this? Eas? Yes, I'm sorry, so one of the teams that are on there toward the bottom of outside looking in right now. But the first team that was listened to, Eric the Oakland Raiders, their hosts, Cincinnati Bengals. It's a favorable schedule, they've had one all year. It's a really good spot for Derek Carr and company. What do you think of
the Raiders this week? Who do you like? I mean, Derek Carr has been good. I mean, I don't know if anyone said that in the last two or three years, but Derek Carr has been really good. Um. Tyrone Williams is somebody you know. He didn't do much last week, but I have feeling this could be a really good matchup for him. He's the number one receiver there and has really shown to be a pretty reliable downfield guy
for Derek Carr. Um And I mean if you don't have you ever found out about Josh Jacobs yet, then um, I mean, I don't know you haven't been paying attention to Josh Jacobs is a beast. Josh Jacob is a top ten running bag not top five running a first round pick next year. Frank Derek Carr, where does he fall? In your rankings as is as well as the top target here, Tyroll Limbs. So Derek car is a top fifteen quarterback for me, he doesn't make it inside my
top twelve. I like this matchup as well. To quote my good buddy e Y here, the Cincinnati Bengals have been rotten this season. On the defensive side of the ball. They are thirty second and past defense v away there twenty nine and run defense v away. And the Raiders offense has been really good. They're averaging six point one yards per play on the season, that is the fourth best in the entire NFL. The offensive line is playing well also, so Derek Carr just outside my top twelve.
The thing is, I don't know how much they're going to have to pass in this spot. I like Tyrol Williams as a wide receiver three top thirty wide receiver for me. Hunter Renfro Deeper Leagues PPR play if you are if you need a buy week replacement Josh Jacobs if you want to spend up for him in DFS. Look, the matchup doesn't get much better than this. The Raiders are huge favorites. Greg. There's just the third time since two thousand three. The Oakland Raiders are a double digit
favorite in a game. Pretty crazy. On the other side, for Cincinnati, A J. Green's not gonna play. He's not gonna play the rest of the season. Fraction telling you that for six weeks, Tyler Boyd he is going to play? Where is he? Tyler Boyd is slightly behind Tyro Williams. There's a few wide receivers this week that admittedly it's tough to figure out because you know, we like the
talent of Tyler Boyd. We liked the talent of players like um Terry McLarin obviously, but the quarterback play, I mean, it worries you so much. What we saw of Ryan Finley last week was god awfully threw a pick six against the Ravens. He had a fumble six against the Ravens, so I worry about him in that spot. Tyler Boyd did see the most targets last week, and the Raiders do give up a lot of Fantasy points to opposing slot receivers. So to me, the fact that he's still
seeing targets and it's a good matchup. I think Tyler Boyd is a wide receiver three play, but he's not the wide receiver too that he has been. Like, if Andy Dalton were the quarterback this week, Greg, he would likely be a top twenty wide receiver for me. You mentioned Terry McLarin. I think it's a good place to go next guys. As the Redskins are taken on the New York Jets. McLaurin um had a great match it right,
Jess Been. I believe the worst team in football over the last four weeks, or at least top two, well, the worst teams of FO all in the last four weeks against opposing fantasy wide receivers. McClaren has They've said, Bill Callahan's come out, and so we need to move this guy around. We need to get him the ball. Dwayne Haskins has been unable to do so every time he's been on the field. Are you starting Terry McLaren this week? Eric Um, I actually do have to make
this decision, and I am going to start him. And that's just because I mean, at this point, with buys and injuries, I don't have much of a choice. I don't feel good about it. I definitely don't feel good as good as I did when case Keenum was the quarterback Haskins. His look Frank Rotten, I mean he's been bad. I mean just not a good quarterback, not ready. He seems not ready for the NFL, and being on the
Washington Redskins is not helping this guy at all. Um McLaren has has looked good, Um, and has looked uh, really really good in the wide receiver when case Keenum was in the game. But Dwayne hask Kins has been uh not a good player and not able to get him the ball. And we thought there would be a connection in becature they played together, but there's it doesn't seem to be that way. It's a tough spot here for Terry McLaurin. Greg, much like Tyler Boyd. You know,
the player, Terry McLaurin is awesome. I loved this guy for Dynasty, but with Dayne Haskins as his quarterback, obviously you have to be worried here. Now, you're right, Greg, Over the past four weeks, the Jets are allowing the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers. But again, the limitations on Terry McLaurin come because of the play of Dwayne Haskins. I expect the Jets to bring a lot of blitz, is a lot of pressure towards Dwayne Haskins. He hasn't been able to handle that very well so
far at the NFL level. And since Bill Bill Callahan has taken over, Washington wants to run the football. Darius Guys is back this week, so they have two running backs between guys and a p They've already said that they're gonna mix both of these guys in. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if we see these guys combined for twenty five to thirty Harry's this week. I still don't think that they want Haskins throwing the ball all that much. Although it is a good matchup so well.
I love the town of McLarin. I think he got to downgrade him a little bit. He is a a solid wide receiver three. He's inside my top thirty six. But I don't feel great about it. If I'm being honest, Greig, I I get it, man. It's it's frustrating because McClaren has this amazing matchup, Darius Guys and Asian Peterson have in a good spot to succeed. It's just a mess in there at Washington because of Dwayne Haskins. Let me go to the other side. We had a revenge game situation.
Jamison Crowder facing his old team, Jet's coming off a big win last week. You don't say that often against the New York Giants. How high are you and Crowder? I'm very high on him. I haven't inside my top twenty four. He's a wide receiver to for me this week. Greg and Washington has actually been a lot better in their secondary, you know, over the past month or so. I know, they got off to a really really slow start. That defense looked really bad early on in the season.
But Jamison Crowder has been the go to guy for Sam Donald. The Jets offensive line is so bad that Sam Donald can't wait for these you know, deep routes to develop down the field for Robbie Anderson. That's why we're seeing more targets too, Jamison Crowder to Damarius Thomas and to their tight ends. I think, you know, Ryan Griffins also a sneaky play this week if you're really desperate at the tight end position. But I'm looking at Crowder here, Greg. Since Sam Donald has returned, he leads
this team with one of the target chair. He has over eighty yards and back to back games he scored a touchdown and back to back games. I think he makes it three straight this week in the revenge game against Washington, A right three revenge game situation for Jamison Crowder. How how are you on him? Eby? Crowder has had looked pretty decent and uh, I feel like Donald is starting to come around. Uh, the ghosts are starting to dissipate and he's starting to realize that that he is
a pretty decent quarterback in the NFL. I mean, I think, um, he's still gonna have an overall disappointing season, but these these last few weeks, I think Donald is a guy that you could definitely stream. Um this week, I feel like this is as good a matchup as any and Crowder as a guy that I love. Yeah, I think you have to love Crowder. You have to like McLaurin to the matchup really really good for both these guys.
You talk about like the Tyler Boyd section, the moment you know, the James and Crowder sectionally go back to Oakland. Tyrrell Williams for me, is also in this mix. Uh. In a really good matchup against Cincinnati. I think you're all on this wide receiver to wide receiver three cut off. Um Crowder certainly higher given how successful he's been of late. Um, but they're all kind of similar in that vein. We're
gonna take a break here. When we come back, we're gonna get in to the most anticipated game of the weekend. I believe that's between Houston and Baltimore, Shawn Watson taking on Lamar Jackson. What should be a really really fun game and it could cause some fantasy explosion with another wide receiver that I think is kind of in this mix as well, on this wide receiver to wide receiver three fringe. Hold on, let's talk about its week levit here on the grid. You want the edge, Get on

backslash dunk to learn more. Most anticipated game of the week still to come. I mean Baltimore and Houston. We're gonna get into that, uh, certainly a few minutes, Frank. We do have breaking news. Yeah, David Montgomery is officially questionable and he is a game time decision for Sunday.
He tweaked his ankle earlier in the week during Wednesday's practice, so if he were not able to go, that means we should see a lot more work from Terrico in here, Greg Yeaco and comming a big spot for Chicago this week. Dave Montgomery um has obviously been trending as of late, but now with him hurting his eggly yesterday, Cohen could mean a spot to succeed. I know it's just happened, Frank, But where would you wind up placing Cohen in your
rankings this week? Of course, Cohen and the Bears face off on Silly Night Football against the Los Angeles Ramsdeans, we're not gonna know about Dave Montgomery. That's very very late. Yeah, so you're gonna have to have a contingency plan in place, you know. I think a lot of people who have David Montgomery probably don't have Treko because they went in a similar range in drafts. Now, maybe Turrecon was dropped in your league and you were able to pick him up.
But ultimately, you know, you either have to have, you know, a Chargers back and Austin Ekeler to pivot off of in case David Montgomery doesn't go, or a Chief's running back if you have a Damian Williams. But ultimately, yeah, you're looking at Tariko and there and I think he would shoot up to that high end flex type of play. Greg. I think in PPR leagues you can consider him as a low end RB two if David Montgomery were out.
But if David Montgomery goes in Tarreco and is more of that low end flex like he's been, you know, not really someone that I want to rely on. Yeah, I kind of like Terrico And if if Monk doesn't play, I think this is a Bears team that's gonna have to utilize that short passing game to be successful against the Rams. It's a weird game Chicago and Alex I don't really like either team. Um I love the under in that game. Yeah, I think this game might end
ten six. Like, man, I really don't like it. I know it's Jared Goff at home, so they should better, but it's facing the Bears defense. It's really tough spot. Um, isn't this game in l A. Yes, that's what I'm saying. She got Jared Goff at home facing the Bears defense, So is it really again? Yeah, but the Bears secondary
is now the strength of their defense, right. You know we've been talking about that this for weeks that since a Chiem Hicks has gone down for the for the Bears defense, that teams have been able to run on them. So it should theoretically be a solid spot here for Todd Gurley. The Rams also six and a half point favorites, so they Vegas expects him to be playing with the lead. And Girley last week actually against the Pittsburgh Steelers saw his highest yards per carry I believe all season, so
he ran efficiently, he just didn't see enough work. So this should be a solid spot for Girly here, Greg. But yeah, finally sucks that, you know, David Montgomery now a game time decision on Sunday Night Football. Those are always really, really tough situations, Eric, who we expected a Cooper Cup squeaky wheel situation. Remember last time out, I didn't catch anything and killed fantasy owners Noboddy Cooks again this week. We know, as frank you just mentioned the
secondary the toughest part of the Chicago defense. But Cooper Cups got to rebound from last week, right, I mean, we can't get worse, can it. I mean, the Cooper Cup is a guy that I owned everywhere, and last week was a massive disappointment. Um Like, look, they're going to have down weeks. You just don't expect a player of his caliber and his talent in his usage quite frankly, all year to put up zero. I mean, that's it's just insane that the fact that he played the whole game,
wasn't injured and put up zero. That's a very rare thing. So I expect him to bounce back. Obviously, Chicago secondary is tough, but Cooper Cup hasn't had trouble getting open except for last week. Apparently hasn't had troubles catching balls except for last week. So I expect him to bounce back. All right, We'll see if he does ultimately bounce back. Let me move on now go back to Lamar Jackson
and versus DeShawn Watson. Really fun game at one pm Eastern Guys, h Houston and Baltimore battle in the a f C. We've seen the Ravens have two big wins in a row, first coming against New England in an awesome game where Lamar Jackson and the Ravens gave the England their first loss of the season, and then they decimated Cincinnati last week. Houston never retast trust them, especially in a big spot. How you see this one breaking down? Frank, Yeah, I think this is going to be a closer game.
I know the spread has run around four and a half right now, but I think that, you know, coming off the by I think the Houston Texans are gonna be rested up. We might see will Fuller in this game, and I think that really affects the past catchers here for the Houston Textans, you have to pay attention to the news. We haven't got an update yet to find out whether or not will Fuller is going to play. Everything that I've seen is he's limited. He's questionable for
this game. But here's how the target shairs breakdown with will Fuller in the lineup versus without, it's waited this so drink when he is in the lineup. DeAndre Hopkins tent target chair, Duke Johnson nine percent target share, Darren Fells nine percent target share. Without will Fuller in the lineup, the hops target share goes up to thirty six percent, Duke Johnson up to fifteen percent, and Darren Fells up
to percent. So if will Fuller is in there, then you know, maybe have some more realistic projections when it comes to both Duke Johnson and Darren Fells. Here, Greg, the Ravens secondary has played really well since Marcus Peters came over to this team. The rest of the team has also gotten really healthy in terms of Marlon Humphrey
and Jimmy Smith in that secondary. So Deshaun Watson obviously you're using him, but you know, when it comes to DFS, just keep in mind this secondary for the Ravens is playing a lot better as of late. For Lamar Jackson the Houston Texans, they've allowed three plus passing touchdowns and four of their last five games, which means I like Hollywood Brown quite a bit. Greg. I have him as a top twenty wide receiver. I know that he missed practiced yesterday. He was back today practicing in full. He
is going to play this week. Houston eleven the third most Fantasy points to opposing wide receiver's thirteen touchdowns to the position. Obviously, we like Mark Andrews as well because Lamar Jackson basically only targets Hollywood Brown and Mark Andrews. I think this could be a tougher game for mark Ingram. He's still an RB two for me, Greg, but I think it could be a little bit of a tougher spot here going up against Houston. More He's Brown. A
lot of smart people really like him this week. Eric, Where does he fall on your rankings? Yeah? Pretty high because I think, I mean the big X factor for me in this game is Deshaun Watson. Um. Lamar Jackson has proven that he is ultra effective at what he does, kind of reinventing the quarterback position game by game here. Um, But what I know about Watson is it is it doesn't matter I mean when you score or how far
you get ahead. He's going to play and he's going to go to He's gonna try to win football games, and more often than not he's done that. And I mean, he's a guy that just competes, knows how to win, makes the plays when he needs to. Uh. And that's I think the big X factor here. We'll see if DeShawn Watson can step up certainly the X factor Lamar Jackson as well. Um, yeah, Frank, I agree with you that Texas wide receiver Sheriff will Fuller's back. There's only
that we have to watch. Unfortunately, as DeAndre Hopkins and will Fuller owners that we are absolutely yeah. I mean you're still using DeAndre Hopkins. If will Fuller plays, I would not throw him right back into you know, I want to see how he performs his first game back. It could end up being at James Conner situation, you know, where he returns and and potentially reinjures himself. So even if will Fuller plays, I would try to get away
from him. This week. E Y asked is a really good question yesterday, and that was in the game between Buffalo and Miami. It was which tight end do you use? Dawson Knox or Mike Kasecki. Micasecki was your boy last week. I tell you he's not good, he said, But the numbers the numbers, And I said, well, he's not good. No, he's not as proven by made for it the numbers. Frank, who do you like Dawson knocks Mikasecki this week? Well,
to be honest, I don't like either. But if I had to choose one, I would go with Mike Kasecki just because I think the usage has been a little bit more consistent. The Dolphins don't have many pass catchers right now. DeVante Parker shout out to e y is gonna do his thing and he's gonna get his targets. But outside of Parker, who else are they gonna throw the ball to. It's nobody Alan Hearns and and Jachine Grant and there you go. Not a lot of talent
on this team. I do think that Kaiseki is very talented. The problem is the Buffalo Bills are allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this season. They allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season. They're very good against tight ends. So I would try to get away from both Kasecki and Knox if I can, but I understand some people are going to be caught up here. So if I had to choose one, I would go with Gasecki um not. I don't really want
to rely on anyone else on the Dolphins side. I think Devanta Parker is a borderline wide receiver. Three tough match up against Tredavious White here, Greg, But last time they actually faced the Buffalo Bills, DeVante Parker scored against Tredavious White. So I'm not as scared off as I would have been, uh without knowing that he performed against him a couple of weeks ago. How about that? Just like,
just like that, DeVante Parker in a good spot. We now trust in this trust this guy feel very very good. Jamilays for John Brown. He's done it all a year long, basically scored what three straight games now. I don't think he scored last week. Last week was the week where he got back into the PPR realm realm of things, where he had a couple more receptions, had some yards, but he had two touchdowns three stream where he had four seventy four last week though, So it's pretty good. Yeah.
I think Cole Beasley for me, he's outside of my top thirty six, but he is a viable bi week replacement. You know, if you're desperate for a wide receiver. It is a good spot here. The Dolphins give up a ton of fantasy points to slot receivers, and John Brown, I think obviously again wide receiver to for me this week. Miami has allowed seven touchdowns to wide receivers over their last five games, Greg, John Brown, along with Michael Thomas, of the only two wide receivers who have had fifty
receiving yards in every one of their team's games. So John Brown really really consistent. I want the I want the Bills to give Devin Singletary more work in this game. The snaps have been there over the past three weeks. He's playing sixty seven percent of the snaps. But feed Devin Singletary. Miami thirty in run defense TV away, So I think Singletary is in a good spot. He just needs to work here, Greg. The top waiver wire pick
up this past week that was Atlanta Brian Hill. Hill leads the Falcons in the Carolina to take on a Panther's rush defense that has been brutalized as of late. Aaron Jones says, hello, Brian Hill, inside your top twenty, franc He is inside my top twenties, inside my top fifteen he's high end r B two again. The Panthers allowing five points over five yards per carry two running backs so far this season. They have a lot of ten total touchdowns to running backs over their last three games.
So all over, Brian Hill in this body had twenty carries last week. I think that he should get at least fifteen touches again here in the spot. You know Kenyan Barner. I don't think they want to rely on him. Quadre Allison, their rookie was active last week and they barely gave him any works. So I think this is Brian Hill's job. Obviously, you're using Julio Jones and Calvin Ridley is an interesting one here because he's playing more naps.
The targets haven't necessarily been there like we thought they were going to be without Mohammed Sanu now on the team. But Austin Hooper also hurt as well. The Panthers secondary is banged up. E y, how much do you like Calvin Ridley this week? Knowing that you know, uh, Austin Hooper had such a big role in this offense and
now he is out for the next month. Yeah, I believe that that Calvin Ridley will become UM the wide receiver this week that we all were hoping in the off season that he was going to be was drafted ahead of SNeW was drafted fairly high as a guy that was going you know, looked pretty good last year, and everyone believed me included that this was going to be a breakout season for Calvin Readley. He's got all the tools. Uh, now he's got UM. What in fantasy
is the most important thing is opportunity. Austin Hooper was having an unbelievable year, a year that I don't think many people predicted UM and and Calvin Ridley has taken a back seat. So this is the week to show up and say, hey, hey, I'm still a good wide receiver and I can be relied on. We'll see Yeah. Do you want hard hitting Carolina Panthers analysis? Lease start all of them over the right. Let's start, as I guess, a lot of Falcons. Another battle in the NFC sound
will gets you and a whole lot more. We finish up week, Levin up the show up next. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire. Dunk on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot Com.

We left one to go to another one. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are facing off at home against New Orleans Saints. Michael Thomas, Drew Brees not in a dome. In a
fantastic matchup around the industry. Michael Thomas is the wide receiver one coming off a really good game last week, despite the Saints offense not doing a whole lot of anything. Is that gonna change this week? It's not going to change this week, Greg, Michael Thomas should be in your DFS cash lineups. I don't care how much money he costs. The Tampa Bay buck secondary e y has been Rotten,
so we are going with Michael Thomas. He is on pace to break the single season reception record set by Marvin Harrison, on pace for a hundred and fifty three catches. When it comes to the running backs, here, look, the Tampa Bay Bucks defense has been really good against the run. Their first in run defense dv Away. You can't really get away from Kamara, but you should probably get away from Latavius Murray in this spot. And then when it comes to Drew Brees, I think this is a good
bounce back opportunity. Did not show up against the Falcon last week. But again, this Buck secondary is very bad. They're so bad that they cut their former first round pick Vernon Hargraves this week and they're rolling out whoever his backup was. So there's going to be fantasy points to be had here. Jared Cook, another one, Greg inside my top six at the tight end position ten targets last week. The Bucks are allowing the second most fantasy
points to opposing tight ends. Start all your Saints over the last four weeks. The Saints have I'm sorry, the Bucks haven't even worse than the Cardinals against the tight end. Jared Cook, you saw it last week. He's helping with those ten targets in a fantastic spot this week to pick up some of the leftover targets. Trackwon Smith also played more snaps and Ted Gin played vact more snaps
in anybody not named Michael Thomas this past week. Of the wide receivers for New Orleans, Trawan Smith a sneaky start this week. The New Orleans Saints on the other side, you know what you're gonna do when it comes to starting Chris Godwin and Mike Evans, Ronald Jones probably as well. Can you start o J Howard y Uh? I mean, tight End is a mass um. He could score a touchdown for sure. I mean that's the reality. That's that's uh, that's the analysis going forward and tight Ends because do
you think he could score a touchdown? Then if you do and you believe that he can, then go ahead and start him. I think that this will be a shootout. Uh, Drew Brees Sean Payne, You're gonna come out and be upset from losing indivisional game against uh A rotten rotten in Atlanta defense last week, and uh, they're gonna be mad. They're gonna be. They're gonna be going for it for sure. All right, Moving on here, once again, the Detroit Lions will be without Matthew Stafford as he's been ruled out
with his back injury. Jeff Driscoll gets to start once again. Frankie, we saw t J. Hockinson show up last week. The industries high once t J. Hockenson once again this week going against Dallas. What say you? Yeah, he should be You should be higher on t J. Hockinson this week because the Detroit the Dallas Cowboys defense has been torched by tight ends all season long. They just allowed two touchdowns to Kyle Rudolph last week as well. We just saw t J. Hockenson get seven targets last week with
Jeff Driskol as his quarterback. So the targets are there, the matchup is there. I think t J. Hockenson is on that border of being a tight end one this week. So if you need a stream, I would go with Hockinson. E y. If you can use Hackinson over Giseki and Dawson Knox, that's something that I would do as well. I think if you own Kenny Golladay, you can't really get away from him Jeff Driskol not a great quarterback. We understand that he has a backup quarterback for a reason.
But we just saw Kenny Golladay score a touchdown last week with Jeff Driskol as his quarterback. And then on the other side of things, it's a get right spot for Ezekiel Elliott. The Lions have, you know, given up a ton of fantasy production to opposing running backs all season long. Here they should be playing with the lead. I think that this is a get right game for Ezekiel Elliott. You gotta start a Marii Cooper the way that he's played so far this season. Dak Prescott, I
believe is a top five, top six is quarterback. You know a lot of people are asking me, Greg, well, you know what about the game flow in this game. Well, in order to have a lead, you have to score points, which means that, yes, we still like Dak, we like Cooper, I like Michael Gallup. And if you're desperate for a wide receiver, I think Randall Cobb is in a really good spot here. I don't even know it's about desperation, dude,
because Randall Cobb was placed up everywhere this week. We talked abou him a little bit yesterday and leftover portion of the program, and I think Randall Cobb has found his niche in this Cowboys offense. I like Randall Cobb this week. Who would rather have? I think good comparison Randall Covers maybe we talked about earlier in the show. Yeah, they're similar players. They both played the slot receiver role for their respective teams. I think that the Cowboys offense
is probably better. It's obviously, you know, more electric, and the targets have been more consistent for Cobbies. He had at least eight targets in back to back games here. So similar players. But I would take Randall Cobb the way that he's being used and with the offense that he plays for. All Right, Randall Cob and the Dallas Cowboys Frank's Frank's player of choice. Like Ezekie Elliott uh in a bounce back spot here against Detroit Lions. Hopefully he can find the end zone. It would be nice,
would be very nice. I think this is the week, especially based on being a favorite this big All right, we'll see what happens there. Minnesota and Denver is or playing this week. Mike Loui was saying how he likes the under in this game out of feelings already been ruled out. The Minnesota secondary has not been good over the last four weeks. In fact, that your bottom five the NFL like his fantasy wide receivers over the last four weeks. But Cortland Sutt in a pretty good spot. Yeah. Absolutely.
The Vikings are allowing the most receptions a hundred and forty nine receptions to wide receivers so far this season. So if Brandon Allen can just be adequate, then Cortland Sutton should be able to have a good game here. I have Sutton as a high end wide receiver too in this spot. Brandon Allen's first game, Cortlon Sutton had eight targets that were represented forty percent of their targets share when it comes to Philip Lindsay and Royce Freeman,
tougher spot for these guys obviously. The Vikings allowing just just over four yards per carry to opposing running backs this season. They have not allowed a ton of fantasy production to that position so far this year. No offense has been more involved. But honestly, I'd want to see another week out of him. With Brandon Allen before I get him in my lineup. On the other side, obviously
you're using Dalvin Cook. But you know, the the Minnesota Vikings are likely going to be in a position where they are winning handily in this game, and you know the Broncos defense has been strong. Chris Harris is going to be on Stefen Diggs. Yeah, I don't really love the past catchers here when it comes to the Minnesota Vikings. E y, you know what say you? Kyle Ruolph has been scoring touchdowns, but you know the Broncos have only allowed one touchdown to tight ends all season long. Chris
Harris on Stefon Diggs. I think we see a lot of the run game here for the Minnesota Vikings. I don't think that we see much else, to be honest, I mean for me, I mean, I don't don't know why you you wouldn't do that. Devin Cook is looks like going to be going forward one of the top running backs in the entire league. Uh, Rudolph has looked good the last couple of weeks, but Denver has been pretty good against the tight end um. But I think
that Rudolph could still score a touchdown here. Kirk Cousins has looked like he's really found his stride, and Stefon Diggs is a number one. I think, in my opinion, he's a He's a top twelve receiver. Whether he will be this week or not, I don't know, but I think they're going to rely on the run game. Dalvin Cook is gonna get a ton of usage, and I
think also Madison could be a flex player this week. Yeah, Digs is definitely a top twelve wide receiver in terms of talent, but for me, you know, just going up against Chris Harris, I would have him more as like a low end wide receiver to this week. His production has been very inconsistent this year. Greg, That's how I would describe it. For the Indianapolis coach, Jacobe Rissette back
in the lineup, t Y Hilton not so much. He's been ruled out, were set expected to start, Nick Foles returns the line of four Jackson Mill And I know you think this means big things for d D. Westbrook. Actually, you know, I'm I'm waiting and waiting to see here, Greg, because I don't know how it's gonna play out. Because I think that d J. Chark is actually a more talented wide receiver than d D. Westbrook. But throughout the preseason it looked like Ded Westbrook was going to be
the guy for Nick Foles. And you know Nick Foless time with the Philadelphia Eagles, he tended he liked to lean on tight ends slot receivers, which obviously lends itself to d D. Westbrook. So I really want to see how this plays out this week. I do have d J. Charks still ranked. I have him as a top twenty wide receivers, a wide receiver too for me, just because I think the talent is gonna is obviously there. The
targets have been there for d J. Chark. I think just because Nick Foles is the quarterback, I don't think that they're going to go away from DJ Tark. Ultimately, for me, d D. Westbrook is a wide receiver. Three. While he was healthy, he was starting to see the targets, and I think that the target should be there once again this week when it comes to Nick Foles returning as the quarterback. Here Greg for the Colts, Eric, can you start a Zach Pascal this week facing all against Jacksonville? Yeah?
I think again, I mean Zack Pascal has been getting it done. And take t Y Hilton being out again. They're getting Jacoby pre set back. So Pascal is a guy that could could really show out this week. Actually give me the tight ends, Greggy, give me all the Colts tight ends. It looks like Jack Doyle is gonna be good to go. We spoke about Ebron yesterday as well, playing more snaps. Last week saw season high twelve targets. The squeaky wheel gets the oil. That's exactly what happened
for Eric Ebron last week. I think he builds off that this week as well. Gregg, I like both Colts tight ends inside my top twelve. All right, let me move on to the four o'clock games, and let me begin with a rematch from Thursday Night football just a week or so ago. It was the Arizona Cardinals and the San Francisco forty Niners. Frankie and I were just talking during the break saying, hey, we heard anything about Emanuel Sanders and the answers. No, we're still waiting word
on Manny Sanders. He could be come down to a game time decision at four o'clock. We don't expect Matt Brita or George Kittle to play in this one four Arizona. They've been in the games. They've been in a lot of games this year. This could be another one plus ten and a half in San Francisco. San Francisco coming off bad game against Seattle Arizona. Yeah, there's a lot of points here. I like the Cardinals here as well. When it comes to the running back situation, do not
start David Johnson this week. We just got a report before this came out that Kenyan Drake looks to have jumped David Johnson on the depth chart the number one running back. I like Kenyan Drake as a high end flex option in RB three, and we all saw what he did a couple of weeks ago against these this San Francisco forty Niners defense. So I do like Drake as a flex get away from David Johnson this week.
If you end uh, I want to see how this situation plays out with David Johnson heading into this week. Christian Kirk three touchdowns last week. I think it's gonna be a little bit tougher this week. I have him more as a low end wide receiver three. He's gonna see Richard Sherman he struggled two weeks ago against the same defense. On the other side. I want to like Deebo Samuel, but again, we don't know what's going on with Emmanuel Sanders right now. If Sanders is out, Deebo
Samuel is a high end wide receiver. Three. If Sanders plays, I think Debo is more of a low end wide receiver. Three. Uh, maybe more of a flex option, you know. If Sanders is in the lineup, George Kittle not gonna go here. Excuse me, Ross Dwelly, Welly here, Greg, we're going with him against the Cardinals. Cardinals allowing the most fantasy points against opposing tight ends. E y another name. If you need a tight end, I'll take Ross Dwelly, Dawson, Mike
Mike A. Secki. Let's go fire up Ross Dwelly. I mean, I I know that San Francisco has had good play from the tight end position, but uh, Dually is a guy that I mean I had never heard of up until last week. Um, I don't think you probably had heard of him from last week. And to be honest, is uh like I told you guys before, a lot of times, I'm going with my gut and I think Dawson. Knox is gonna show up big this week. Ross seven
targets last week. Greg, Look if you get seven targets against the Arizona Cardinals, you know we're gonna have targets against the Cardinals last week. Who's that? Frank J. Howard? How about that he scored the ghost of O. J. Howard's past. Come on, man, if he can do it, I think we're all one last game to get you, Frank, and we did it all and that well your CBS game of the week, The New England Patriots in Philadelphia take on the Eagles. I know you and I both
like Natriots. In fact, is your pick of the week, Frank, I don't know that it's my pick in a week, but I do tell the Patriots, you know everybody thinks that they're getting cute. Let's go with the Eagles, their home dogs. This is too many points. Come on, look at what just have and against the New England Patriots before the bye when they got blown out against the Baltimore Ravens. This is exactly what Bill Belichick wants you to think. Come on, people, have we not seen enough
from him over the years. Love Mohammed's new in this spot. Last time we saw him fourteen targets against the Baltimore Ravens, ten receptions, eight yards and a touchdown. I like him here against that Eagles secondary as well. Sony Michelle. Look, if you can get away from him this week, I think that you probably should. The Eagles have prided themselves on their run defense the past couple of years, so I think he's more of a flex option play. He
is obviously touchdown dependent. He's not gonna catch a lot of passes. James White high end flex play in PPR leagues as well. Obviously you're using Julian Edelman on the other side. Jordan Howard. All of a sudden here Greg very banged up. If I don't know that he's gonna be able to go here, and if he can't, e y your boy, Miles Sanders. The Patriots are allowing the third most yards per carry to running backs over the past three weeks. I know that they just signed J. J. I. E.
But he's not up to snuff yet. I think that Miles Sanders could be in for a big role here this week. Euay, I mean if he doesn't do it this week, if Howard doesn't go I mean, what week is it going to be. We were talking about the other day on the show. I said that I think that Miles Sanders is going to be his backfield. This is taking longer than I thought it was going to, but I think this week could be the week I'll
be starting Miles Sanders in a lot of places. Another tight end, Greggy, if you need one, Dallas Goddard inside my top twelve Alston Jeffrey doesn't look like he's gonna go to. Shaun Jackson is placed on I R. Carson Wentz needs to throw the ball to somebody. I think those two somebody's are going to be the tight ends here for very young and Frank Standville. My name is Gregg Sauce me enjoy week of Levin, good luck, and
we'll see you back here on Monday. Well, I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire DUNC on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot Com and dominate on fandel and DraftKings this season.

Visit Daily Road dot Com backslash dunk to learn more. So, what
did that happen? What did happens? Here's what you missed on the BFFs. Here's a name that's left over. Actually really surprised me. Where he most left over this week? And I think that's one that you, as you said, should he be? It looks like it looks like Matt Brina is going to miss the next couple of weeks um and again they like to run a running back by committee. It's not just going to be Tevin Coleman. Maybe Tevin Colemans. He's a few more touches this week,
closer to that twenty touch mark. But he's really been around, you know, twelve to fifteen for the most part this season with the San Francisco forty Niners. They want to run the football again. You know, the past couple of weeks, Jimmy Garoppolo has been throwing in the football a little
bit more. We saw him Oneay and Night football. The Seahawks took away the run game from the forty Niners, and they forced Garoppolo to try and beat them, and ultimately he couldn't you know, he had some arran throws. Obviously some drops by the wide receivers as well. But I think we get back to ground and pound. The
Cardinals are not a great team against the run. They're not a great team against the pass either, But I do think that the forty Niners can have some success in the spot here, and with Matt Breeda likely out in this matchup, I think we get you know, tend to twelve maybe maybe even a few more touches in that for Raheem Moser, which in my opinion greg makes him a flex play. I have him, you know, right around my top thirty top thirty six running backs this week,
which makes him a flex option. All right, fair enough, he flex option. We said this previously with rahee most where we thought that Brido was gonna be out. Of course, Brita played and Jeff Wilson played and everybody played that weekend. Now we have an opportunity against Arizona in this matchup. Hopefully no it's Coleman and hopefully no it's Matt breed up Um going through my waiver whire, here are some other names that stand out so Night Thurs The Night
Football and getting more into this. Deante Johnson is out there in in quite a few leads, about eighty five percent of leaves right now, John Johnson is someone you consider picking up with fears left over, not really, you know, Mason Rudolph has not been great. Let's just be honest it kindly. Yeah, they've they've relied heavily on their defense, and they're running game and I think James Connor has a big game returning tonight as well. Um, and they
try to get Juju Smith Schuster involved. They really have four different targets now that they're throwing too, and they're not great targets because again they're coming from Mason Rudolph. But we've now seen Vance McDonald with back to back games with seven targets. They said after last week's game that they want to get Juju Smith Schuster more involved once again. And whenever Juju has seen at least seven
targets in a game, he's actually performed quite well. So I think we get back to a little bit more Juju tonight. And then last week James Washington had the big game. So now we have four past catchers involved in this dealer's offense in you know, and these targets are not really high quality targets because again they're coming from Mason Rudolph. So I don't really want to get involved with Deonta Johnson and Cleveland. Not to their credit,
they've been really tough on wide receivers. They're allowing the twelve fewest fantasy points per game to wide receivers on the outside this season, and that is predominantly where Deonta Johnson plays. So that's going to be a pass for me. Greg
