And with that we want to do inside up Studio thirty four. This easy. The BFFs Here is Frank stamfle I am Greg Sousman. Week twelve is upon us, Frggie. What's going on? Greggy? Happy Friday to you, t G. I f decently fun game last night between the Houston
Texas and the Indianapolis Colts. Dave said it was horrible, horrible. I mean it was a horrible game because he didn't hit on any of his bets. That's the reason why I mean, but from a pure football perspective, lower scoring divisional matchup. We knew that the Houston Tech has needed that game, and of course the hook comes into play before we get to the game, Greg, how did you sleep last night? Buddy? I slept very well. I was wide awake early this morning. I was like, Wow, why
am I wide awake right now? On a Friday? Huh day? I was excited. I got to work. How did it be here having a roll on the weekend? Man? Did you sleep? I slept all right, much needed rest. Did you sleep with a belly full of beer and wings? Greg? You one of those things? And I'll let you guess which the wings? No, not the word? Yeah, I had a great beer and wings, like you know your best friend by now I was kidding, Frank, that was sarcasm.
I obviously knew it was clearly not the wings already. Yeah, wings, and be here last night watching Colston Texas. Um. Judy was so. Judy actually asked, which, just like who's this Jacobey Brissette guy? And like is he like good? I was kind of explain the background with the Patriots and how it's all full circle very interesting? Yeah, I mean
Jacoby Brissette. He is what he is. I think it's a great job done by Frank rich Maybe not last night, a little bit more conservative than they probably should have been, but for the most part, I mean to come in to the season a month before Andrew luck retires, who's your franchise quarterback, and to perform the way that he has,
I think it's been a pretty damn good season. I agree last night it wasn't enough two yards shorts of that first down on on fourth down, obviously towards the end of the game, although there was no there was no urgency by Frank Reich on that last trial. The just the entire game, it was weird. It was a very conservative game plan. You probably figured coming in that they wanted to run the football, and of course we didn't know who the running back was gonna be. It
was definitively Jonathan Williams. I think all week, Greg, we were mostly right about that. I remember when we ranked these running backs from a waiver wire perspective, I had it Jonathan Williams, Niheam Hines, and Jordan Wilkins, and that's the way that it played out last night. Jonathan Williams sixties seven percent of the snaps, seventeen routes on thirty one Brissette dropbacks, six carries, three targets. Just a massive, massive workload. Uh nightheam Hines played thirty three per cent
of the snaps, nine carries, three targets. Solid game, I said yesterday, He's probably gonna get eight to ten touches finished with you know, uh, eleven touches, So solid game for night. He behinds Jordan Wilkins Greig one snap, one route, ran, zero carries, zero targets. We know who the guy is gonna be. Assuming Marlon Mack is out for the next however many weeks. You don't know anything is when Marlon mac comes back, right, Because Johnathan Williams kind of earned
a role now, hasn't it. Yeah, he certainly has, you know. And what I said earlier on in the week, the reason why I like Jonathan Williams was that he proved to the Colts coaching staff that he can handle a workload, that he can perform well. Last week he ran for over a hundred yards on thirteen carries. So I think that he earned their trust and that's why they ended up giving him. You know, I don't think anybody saw
this type of workload coming. Twenty nine touches in this game for Jonathan Williams, but you know, he made the most of it. Didn't run incredibly efficiently here only four yards for Arry, but he did enough and he scored a touchdown as well. He had a few receptions. It was you know, look, if you started Johnathan Williams, you are very very happy with what you ended up getting. Yeah, I was freakinglutely. He was unbelievable for the Colts. Last night.
On the other side of the Houston Texans, DeAndre Hopkins had a big time game that see why Hilton typ a game that we expected. Hopkins with those two touchdowns long touchdowns as well, which was awesome. And then will Fuller welcome back like he missed no time because he was the same exact role he always plays on this team. It was insane. Man just stepped right back in. And admittedly I said yesterday, don't know what to expect from will Fuller, but he stepped up in a big way
against a a solid secondary. Right the Colts don't have any locked down cornerbacks. They play more zone coverage than you know most defenses. But Will fuller Man made the most of this opportunity of the snaps yesterday, ran thirty one routes on thirty three Watson dropbacks, finished with game highs across the board, eleven targets, thirty nine percent targets share, seven receptions a hundred and forty yards. What sucks, Greg is we still know that the floor is low at
times a little fuller because he leaves with injury. He is a big he's a big play threat. But if he's not converting on those big plays, then you know we we could see a lower floor from him. This is gonna end up being one of his better boom plays, and he was. He wasn't in the lineup for anybody. I would imagine. I'll look that up to see what his start percentage. He was not in our lineup. DeAndre Hopkins was awesome last night, had that blow up game
that we were hoping for for a while. T Y Hilton. Greg, you know, we knew what the risk was going into this game, and I had him ranked as my wide receiver fourteen. I was very aggressive. It was a good matchup going up against Houston. I wasn't just playing off the narrative that he owns them. They are a bad secondary. I mean a lot of wide receivers have done well against him, not just t Y Hilton, but ultimately in the spot, Greg, you could see that he was limited.
He was jogging up and down the sideline a lot in this game. The Colts had sixty seven offensive plays in this rain game. He played on twenty five of them, So twenty five out of sixty seven snaps. No, that's that's not what we're used to seeing from t Y Hilton. He had a few drops yesterday. He looked rusty. If you started t Y Hilton, Greg, you don't feel good
about it. Obviously, not only a few points yesterday, will Fuller did was holding onto his uh his was a quad at one point, um or maybe it's his hamstring after coming up after we cash did't miss any plays or any snaps or anything like that. But I thought it was was notable and he was holding onto it. Um. Maybe he was like almost like expecting pain and there wasn't, which is a good thing. He does have, of course, ten days to recover now. Kiki QT inactive last night.
I want to fall from grace for this guy. You know, if I was talking to some friends last night that the other thing I just totally got wrong was like liking KIKIQT this year, m v as DONALDO Allison, all these guys. He expected a lot from that. You thought you could get most of the late year drafts, So put up something no nuts most of the year for all three break. When we come back, we'll dive game
by game. You know all of your rankings. We'll see what you think when we have some a lot of decisions that we have to make them gonna ask you about that. On the other side, I mean a lot, a lot to do, not a lot of time to do it. It's a fantasy BFFs. You're on Sports CD.

what's happening in with you? Thanks for watching us on Pluto TV channel number five seventeen. Stick with us, and uh we'll make you smarter and better fantasy players and hopefully winners, hopefully hopefully Indeed. All right, So I asked Frank, we have a lot of questions our own league, and I said, when can I do that? And he said at the end of the show, So let's get right to it. Frank, did Westbrook, Jacksonville, Sterling Sheppard, Giants? What
did you do? I'm gonna go with Dede Westbrook. I know he let a lot of people down last week, but the way to attack the Tennessee Titans defense is through the air. They don't have a great secondary. I want to see Sterling Sheppard back for one game and Sterling Sheppard play us on the outside when we get to the Giants game a little bit later on, I'll
tell you why I Golden Tate. But the outside cornerbacks for the Chicago Bears have played really well so far this season, Greg, So between those two, I don't really love either. But this is what we've been forced into because we didn't start Will Fuller last night. Let's go d D. Let's go d D. I don't know Man kind of like the Sterley Shepherd move. I know he's based in Chicago. D He kind of stinks and he's
constantly injured. He leaves the game. Well, Greg, the Chicago Bears have one of, if not the best pass for us in the league, and Daniel Jones is probably going to fumble eight times. I'm pretty excited about that. Giants and Bears, let's seriously start there. Though. Officieve Lions gotten healthy. With the Giants coming off of a bye week's Sakoon Bar he has been able to get a little bit healthier as well. Daniel Jones obviously in a bad spot.
A constant question that we're getting, Frank is what do we expect from Golden Tate with Sterley Shepherd back facing off against his tough Bears defense. Yeah, I would still expect Golden Tate to be the guy. There's no Evan Ingram in this game. Rhett Ellison has been ruled out. There's you know, the third and fourth drink tight end for the Giants are now playing for them, which means I think more targets for the wide receivers, more targets
for Sae Kwon Barkley as well. When it comes to Golden Tate, Greg, since he has returned in week five, he leads the team with of their targets share. He has ninety four point three PPR points from weeks one. From weeks five through ten, I left out week eleven because they were on a bi last week. Over that span, Greg Golden Tate is a top ten wide receiver in PPR leagues. The way to attack Chicago is in the slot. They allow the eighteenth most slot PPR points per game
so far this season. So I still think that Golden Tate is gonna see his eight ten targets. I think that he's gonna, you know, he's gonna be a reception beast again this week. I think that they're gonna have to get rid of the ball quickly out of Daniel Jones hand, because again that Chicago Bears pass for us is very good and the Giants have struggled allowing pressures on Daniel Jones. So I would expect another game at
of Golden Tate. He's inside my top twenty four, Greg inside your top twenty four, Despice, Sterling Sevard coming back a Golden Tate owner. Feel good? So thanks man. If imagine Daniel Jones is throwing the ball thirty times in this game, right, that seems fair. Golden Tap gets ten targets, Sterling Shepherd gets six to eight, and then you have, you know, between twelve and fourteen targets for Barkley, Darius Slayton, you know, the fourth tight end, whatever it might be
at Simons. And I think that that target breakdown really makes a lot of sense. You know, people were asking about Darius Slayton earlier on in the week, and and I know he was a popular waiver wire pick up last week when he was on by he crushed the New York Jets. But that is a secondary that struggles against outside wide receivers. And no, at the time when we picked up Darius Slayton, we thought, you know, Sterling Shepherd might be out for the rest of the season.
Now he has clear concussion protocol, he's gonna play. So things have changed for Darius Leaden, same with Brandon Couch clearingcussion protocol. They play on Monday night now, so we'll get to that obviously on Monday. The other side of that, we'll do it quickly because I mentioned it was Jacksonville, Tennessee. It's certainly not a sexy game by any means. But I know yesterday inside the pit, you and Vent you were talking of talk Bears before we got into that game.
Because to the other side, the Bears I want to talk about. I'm glad, I'm glad you want to go back here. David Montgomery in a good spot, no doubt about that. But the guy I really wanted to mention with the Bears was Taylor Gabriel because I think he's in a fine spot this week as well. If you're one of these teams that are affected by the four good teams on a buy, I think Taylor Gabriel is like a fine dart throat. I'm with you. I liked him as a waiver wire pick up. Over the past
four games for the Chicago Bears. He actually leads the team with twenty three percent target share, leads a team in receptions receiving yards as well. The Giants allow, you know, the fourth most Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers so far this season. Taylor Gabriel just had fourteen targets on Sunday Night Football against the ramp So I'm with you. I think Taylor Gabriel is a fine dart throw. I like David Montgomery as a high end RB two going
up against the Giants defense here. And I think terriko And is sneaky as well. You know, on the season, he has an eighteen percent target share. It seems like Trabiski has been you know, throwing him a few of those dump off targets a little bit more so far this season. The Giants have a out a touchdown or one hundred yards rushing who are running back in five of their last six games. So I like David Montgomery as a high n RB two. I like to reco
and as a solid flex playing PPR leagues. Anything else with the Bears that you wanted to mention. If we like Toreco and if we like some of the past catchers, then if you're playing a super flex league, I think Tisky will be are decent. Here's the problem. Aren't you concerned he gets benched? What if he has a bad first half, the offense doesn't go anywhere. I mean, he's had a bad season and he hasn't been bench greg He was benched last game. Come on, that was a
hit pointer, right, you're not concerned? You should. I don't love Trebinsky, obviously, but in a super flex league, he's inside my top twenty at the quarterback position. I'll leave it at that, all right. Can I go to the other game now a little quickly. It's the Jaguars and the Titans. It's not a sexy game. And as I mentioned you and then you were going, uh cloating and not gloating, but like plucking up Derrick Henry in this season?
What do you think about him this weekend against Jacksonville? Yea, so, Derrick Henry has scored a touchdown in eight of ten games, which is just crazy. A lot of his fan to see production is just due to rushing yards and scoring touchdowns because we know that he doesn't catch passes. But you know he has seventy percent of his team's red zone carries on the season. That is the fourth most
among running backs so far this year. Jacksonville is allowing a league high five point four one yards per carry. They just got destroyed by Marlon Mack and Jonathan Williams last week in Week eleven. So yes, once again, I like Derrick Henry Leonard four Net. You know, Doug Moron has come out and said they're gonna get back to running the football and giving him a big workload. It's probably going to be easier said than done here. I mean, they're gonna give him a big workload. Is it gonna
be successful in it? That's a tough one because Tennessee has actually been better against the run so far this season. Greg. They are fourth in run defense d v o A. The last time Leonard four Nett faced this Titans defense, if you remember correctly, Greg, he had a sixty nine yard run. That was nice. E finished with sixties six total rushing yards in that game, not really nice. So he struggled in that game outside of that one long run.
If you have Leonard Fournett, you're using him. But I think you have to, you know, have realistic projections based on the way he has played and based on the way that the Titans have played defense against the run so far this season. Greg, Yeah, absolutely. With the d D Westbrook he spoken about before, J Shark has been unbelievable you're using d J. Chalk. I mean I didn't touch on him just because he's a top ten wide receiver. The Titans have struggled against wide receivers, you know, D. D.
Westbrook more of a lower end wide receiver. Three. I don't love it when it comes to the Titans tight ends. This is interesting because I want to like John hu Smith. He flashed a little bit before there by, but de Landy Walker has been practicing on limited basis. It looks like he's actually going to play in this game. So you know, between Delaney Walker and John Hu Smith, I would probably just stay away and see the way that this situation kind of plays itself, doesn't play for whatever reason,
I'll start John. Yeah, Donah would be in the flyer discussion end and one potentially Yeah, probably definitely behind the Hollisters, the Ryan Griffins, the pickups that we like. He would be bed like someone like Dawson Knox to who I actually like a decent bitness. I don't hate Dawson Knox either. This week, Um, for the record, we have a minute and a half left, so I don't want to get a game that you're gonna go all over. We'll come back with that in a bit. But Cleveland and Miami.
You're gonna start everybody from Cleveland this week, obviously O'Dell and Jarvis and Chubb. But the ones I need to ask you about, there's two of them. One Kareem Hunt against Miami and to the returning David to Joku against Miami. Do you feel comfortable, joke? They've already said it's not going to be activated for this game. Really, I thought I thought I read he was going to be activated. Okay, yeah, I mean that was the latest that I saw. We can look it up during the breaks. I mean I
thought going to be activated. Yeah. I know that he's been practicing and he's eligible to return, But the last update that I saw was David and Joku will not be activated for this game. I do like Jarvis Landry quite a bit, Greg, I have him inside my top fifteen wide receiver says he's out this week. Yeah. The targets have been there for Jarvis Landry to revenge game against the Miami Dolphins as well Odell Beckham. This should be the get right spot for him. If I like
Odell Beckham, if I like Jarvis injury, I love Baker Mayfield. Man, I have missed my QB seven on the week. This could easily backfire on me, but I think that he shows up. The Miami Dolphins just allowed a QB one overall performance to Josh Allen. He threw for three touchdowns. He rushed for an additional touchdown. Greg, I like Kareem Hunt. I haven't been talking my top twenty four, which seems crazy, but the Browns are ten and a half point favorites
in this game. I think that he's actually gonna get some carries later on in this game. He has seventeen targets over his first two games. Obviously you're using Nick Chubb. Greg. When we come back, we can talk a little bit more about DeVante Parker, Um, But outside of that, I don't really know what else you're gonna talk about in this game. Um. From a Dolphins perspective, we're not Patrick Lair Fattery games here. Next NFL season is now upon us, and you can be going the eighth person away one
million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament.

Frankie, as we went to break, I told you the news Delaney Walker is of visually doubtful for this weekend. Might ray will hope they'll be able to play, but doubtful
is the official injury designation. Yeah, so that puts John O. Smith into the discussion as a streaming tight end, a you know, top fifteen ish tight end. Here are his four target totals with in the games that Delaney Walker has been out. It's been three, seven, five, and six, So specifically those past three games. If you're giving me at least five targets out of the tight end position, then yeah, I'm gonna have some interest. He's an athletic guy. They can use them in the red zone. Uh, they
spread the ball around a lot in Tennessee. But yeah, he's in that conversation now. Is a streaming tight end for sure, Greg fair enough. Johnny Smith very much in the conversation. So eventually putting in your line on the back end tight end one, I know you want to talk about two other tight ends that are certainly in the tight end one conversation. That's Darren Waller for the Raiders, and that's Ryan Griffin for the New York Jets. Be a fun one at MetLife stadium, a high scoring, a
family thing. I know, we like a lot of the principles that are in this one. Yeah, forty six and a half total in this game. Not a lot of high totals. The only game over fifty is that Bucks and Falcons game in the Week twelve slate. But I do like both of the tight ends in this spot. You know, Darren Waller has been hurt by hunter Renfroze targets over the middle of the field. There's no doubt if you look over the past four or five games for Waller, the targets haven't been as high, the ceiling
hasn't been as high. And of course Foster Moreau just won't go away, and he just scores a touchdown every now and then. He does just enough to be annoying to Darren Waller fantasy owners. But you have to continue to roll with Waller based on his target chair this season and just his overall upside the way that he
has played so far this year. When it comes to Ryan Griffin, Greg just coming off a monster game over a hundred yards and a touchdown against Washington, Oakland allows the third most fantasy points to opposing tight ends, So I think that is an area of the field where the Jets will want to target. And I have Ryan Griffin ranks inside my top ten tight ends this week, so I do like him ad a bit. I don't
know if people realize this. Greg. It doesn't scare me off Levian Bell, you know, maybe it might scare you from a DFS perspective. His snap percentages have been and fifty five percent over the past two weeks. He still is averaging one touches per game over that span, but it's worth mentioning that Levian bell snaps have gone down recently. They've been using Ballal Powell a little bit more. When it comes to Jets wide receivers. Loves Jamison Crowder had
it inside my top twenty four last week. He showed up against Washington Um. The Oakland Raiders allow the ninth most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, so I do like Crowder. I think Robby Anderson again, like Taylor Gabriel. You know, if you need a dart throw, it's a good matchup going up against this Raiders defense. But the Jets offensive line does not allow to allow him enough time to allow Donald enough time to pass the ball
down the field, Greg. When it comes to Donald and Derek Carr, I have both of these guys inside my top twelve quarterbacks and you know, you might find a little bit crazy, but I have Derek Carr ten, I have Donald at a leven. Just behind those guys Josh Allen, Jimmy Garoppolo, Tom Brady. I'm stripping the name off the back of the jersey. I love the matchups here for both of them. Yeah, absolutely, so I'm with you. Uh, I have Car. I would have Car and Donald over
those guys as well. It's really, like I said, a high scoring matchup we expect. I think both of these tight ends are in the top ten conversation as well. Um, I think Jameson Crowder has given life to this Jets offense with Sam Donald back at the quarterback stop on our. Renfro as well has been really really good over the last month or so. I believe I've been silver tweeting out how he's a top twenty wide receiver over that
time in PPR leagues. So I think it was actually Bowl he was like eighteen and one like twenty and the other. So Hunter has been pretty solid in his second half of the rookie year. Yeah, if you need a PPR play, a bye week replacement, a low end wide receiver. Three. Again, really good matchup against the New York Jets. I expect some points back and forth here. I also think Tyro Williams gets back in the end zone this week. Greg, I have Tyro Williams as a
low end wide receiver too. He's also inside my top twenty four alongside j Mson Crowders. So I do like both of those guys. A decent bit imagined Tom Brady. Arguably the game of the days, the New England Patriots taking on the Dallas Cowboys. You have, as I said on the FanDuel Harry, even banging the table, even stopping your feet, you will leave Dallas wins this one outright. You think Dallas is the better team that you like, Dak Prescott is Ekiel Elliott and the rest of the
guys this week. So I think it's interesting, right we always talk about the Patriots are gonna take away the number one weapon for an opposing team. What are they gonna take away from the Dallas Cowboys this week? Because Imri Cooper has been banged up, but you probably would argue that he has been the top weapon for the Dallas Cowboys so far this season. I don't know for sure that they're the better team, Greg, but I think that the New England Patriots have a lot of deficiencies
on offense right now. They can't run the ball effectively. Now they I believe they might be getting Isaiah winnback. That's going to help their offensive line, should help their ability to run, but their past catchers are banged up. Mohammed san News said he's gonna try to practice today here on a Friday, November twenty. Philip Dorset in concussion protocol, so you know they could be rolling out Edelman, Nikkil, Harry Ben Watson as their main pass catchers. I think
that this game is at least close competitive. I like the Cowboys in the spot. I think there's a chance that they win it, and the way to attack the Patriots defense recently, Greg has been to run the football. I'm expecting a pretty good game out of Ezekiel Elliott. I know that the efficiency hasn't been there for him, the workload has. I expect a good game for him. I am a little bit worried about a Marie Cooper and Michael Gallup. I have them lower than I have
had them the past couple of weeks. I have a Marie Cooper as my wide receiver six team. He's normally been a wide receiver one toss. Michael Gallup is more of a you know, middling high end wide receiver three, whereas last week he was a wide receiver to play for me, I think that I think it's hard to like the Cowboys and not really like the wide receivers, kind of like you are, um, unless you think have the big Zke get. I think Zeke is gonna have a big games. I think that Jason Witten can have
a sneaky game here. So my thing is rank he is. I said to see last week that Dak Fresh has been awesome over the last couple of weeks. I want to see him do it against a real defense. Patriots obviously are as real as they get, so I'm not necessarily with you or Gabe on the Cowboys. Probably not gonna plays a wager on this one, but I want to see it against the real Devens before we start
crowning Dak. When it comes to QB rankings, it's worth mentioning I have Dak Prescott as myke QB nine, So I still have him ahead of Sam Donald and I wrestled with Car because I like Car and I like Donald. I like the matchup. But when it comes to Doc, he's just played so well. Greg, at least eighteen fantasy points in every game this season. A lot of those have been really good matchups. He has three touchdown passes exactly in three straight games. I'm not playing he's gonna
do that against the Patriots. Um, I don't have it up off the off the top of my head here, Greg. But again, the matchups they've they've been good for deck. Let's see here, it's been the Lions, the Vikings, and the Giants. Those are those are good matchups you could throw on those teams. But I think Uh to be a top ten quarterback this week. If Dak finishes with two seventy five and two or two seventy five and one with some rushing yardage, I still think that he
could finish as a top ten quarterback this week. I'm a little bit more worried about Tom Brady. He's throwing the ball a lot, but not doing not doing it with a lot of success. So I do like the Cowboys a decent bit in the spot alright, Cowboys against Patriots Juliettiman obviously a really good spot for New England. We haven't got a reward on Snewer door, say right, the designation is gonna Nothing has come out definitively on those guys. Yet. I realized I didn't get a chance
to talk about the Patriots running backs. It's, you know, trying to figure this out. You know what it's like, right if you own one of these guys. It's frustrating every single week, Sony Michelle, he has touchdown dependent. He is not running the ball efficiently the past three games. James White leads his team with of the snaps and I think in more competitive games you are going to see more James White. So look in PPR leagues. James White. He's a high inflex he is what he is every
single week. If he gets in the end zone, he'll end up being an RB two. But based on his target share, um, you know, James White is obviously in play here. Dallas has allowed the third most receptions to running back so far this season. Sony Michelle more of a middling RB three flex play and I don't feel good about Sony Michelle, you can't. You're not gonna feel good about him until he has that next three touchdown performance, which is gonna come when he's on everyone's bench. Greg,
I know you know obviously it's it's inevitable. Yeah, And I know you like Ben Watson as a streamer. He's worth mentioning. Dallas has struggled big time against tight ends, and again the Patriots pass catchers are banged up. Man. I'll bring it up again. I brought it up during the break. I'll say it on the air. We came back with Johnny Smith, john Smith or Ben Watson. I'll take Ben Watson just because it's been a better matchup. You know. Tight ends again have done very well against
the Dallas Cowboys. The Jaguars have been a little bit tougher on tight ends. All right, let's move on frights. Another game. It's Pittsburgh and Cincinnati Steelers are without Juicemith Schuster. There wereout James Conner this week, but Johnson does look like he's going to play on Sunday. Uh coming back in this concussion pretty quickly after they played Thursday Night Football a week or so ago. The Bengals they don't really have anybody A. J Green has been ruled out
on and Tate may not play. He's questionable in this one, I doubt I agree. We saw a lot of Joe mix in last week, but as Gabe was telling me earlier that Ryan Finley starting for like three point three yards per attempt. At this point, it's been brutal for him. Now. He's very bad. Joe Mixon like it was awesome last week, he's been awesome in the past two weeks. Be awesome against the Steelers defense, probably not awesome. I think he's
still in the RB two discussion. Who would have thought, Greg, that Ryan Finley starting for the Cincinnati Bengals is what was needed to unlock the potential of Joe Mixon. This is just it doesn't make any sense because you would think that with Ryan Finley on the field, teams creep up their safeties, they play more men in the box. It's tougher for Joe Mixon to find holes. But that hasn't been the case with Finley starting. Joe Mixon has
seen sixty eight percent of this nest. That has gone up from when Andy Dalton was starting forty five carries over the past two weeks, seventy of the Bengals carries ten percent targets, share six red zone carries. Uh, it's not a great matchup. Pittsburgh has been good against the run, but I think based on the way Joe Mixon has played the past two weeks, they're leaning more on the run with Ryan Finley as the quarterback. He's a vlume play that might score a touchdown because they're now using
him inside the red zone. So to me, Joe Mixon is an RB two. I think Tyler Boyd squeaky wheel game here. The Steelers have struggled a little bit against slot wide receivers. They have allowed a slot receiver to score a touchdown in three of their last four games. I'm not saying that Tyler Boyd is a must start, but I think he is a solid to high end wide receiver. Three. You know, a lot of people see what he did last week and they're automatically gonna say
there's no way I can use Tyler Boyd. You know, once these guys start chirping a little bit, that's when they start to get some targets. Based on everyone being banged up for Cincinnati, I think that Tyler Boyd does see probably eight ten targets in this game. In Week twelve, Greg on the other side, Juju has been ruled out, James Conner has been ruled out. We've been talking about the Steelers running backs all week. I still think Jalen Samuel's is the main guy. And then after that, your
guest is as good as mine. I would probably lean towards Trey Edmunds just because he has been the running back active over the past couple of weeks. And yes, Deonte Johnson replaces James washing Cinema in my rankings as a low wind wide receiver three a lot more games. Yet you know, not a lot of time to do it well well quickly for the next twenty minutes. BFS wrap up after this NFL season is now upon us, and you can become the eighth person away one million

Let's go to the NFC South where we have two big NFC South matchups, two matchups that have a tone of fantasy implications. Will begin with the Atlanta Falcons because they're facing off in the best magic you possibly have, Damn May Buccaneers, which means a
lot is in play for Matt Ryan and friends. Start. Everybody, Greg, well maybe not everybody fifty one and a half total in this game, But I do like Matt Ryan, and I know we called Jamis Winston a an interception machine earlier on in the week, but if you look at his game log, it's actually quite incredible what he's been able to do from a fantasy perspective. He turns the
ball over two to three times every single week. You know that that's gonna be a lock, But if you look at his game log, he's still giving you eighteen to twenty five fantasy points every single week. There's just so much volume. When it comes to Jamis Winston, you gotta continue to start Mike Evans and Chris Godwin. I know that it's been a tougher go recently for Chris Godwin, and you know it's very boom or bust with Mike Evans.
But that boom when he booms is quite amazing. And you know, I'm not ready to just completely crown this Falcons defense. I do like them as a stream because you know Jamis is gonna turn the ball over. But let me let me see it three weeks in a row. Because I still think that d J. Moore had a good game last week against this Falcons defense. Curtis Samuel could have had a better game. I know that there
was a few drops involved there. So I'm still trusting the Falcons wide receivers Greg when it comes to the when the Bucks wide receivers, excuse me. When it comes to the running backs, I do not like Ronald Jones in the spot. I have him as a lower end RB three, a lower and flex. Over the past three weeks, he's playing of the Snaps, Darry Gooma, Wally Peyton, Barber nineteen percent. They all have at least three red zone touches during that span. It's still a very frustrating situation.
If you can get away from Rojo Vntra, I'm sorry, please do so this week. On the other side, Greg Uh, you love Matt Ryan, you love Julio Jones, you love Calvin Ridley in the spot, I have both Julio and Ridley inside my top twelve this week. This Buck secondary is legitimately that bad, and I think that their run defense is starting to show some cracks recently as well. Carson had a hundred rushing yards against him. Kenyan Drake had six receptions. Kamara had ten receptions last week. Those
are each of the past three games. Brian Hill played sixty percent of the snatch last week. Greg, he has thirty five carries over his last two games. To me, I am going back to the well with Brian Hill as a high end flex option this week. I know that on paper you think it's a tough match against Tampa Bay. It's shown a few more cracks recently. I think the volume is gonna be there for him. I don't love the Brian Hill start this week. He's not in tide my top twenty four. He's not like a
must start play. He's he's a flex play. I go back to all the other guys I mentioned yesterday, Darius Guys, Jalen Samuel's post. I would use all three of those over Brian Hill. Okay, yep, it's like there's me an idea of where you have them. Then okay, um, anything else in this game before we move on. Now, just start all the wide receivers. Would you start Cameron Brad No, I don't want to know. Okay, I can't, dude, I like, you never know if O. J. Howard's gonna bounce back
this game. I understand the targets were there for Cameron Braid. The Falcons are you know, middle of the pack against tight ends. I trust the wide receivers on Tampa Bay. That's about as far as I can go, all right. And the other NFC South game between Carolina and New Orleans. Kyle Allen was brutal last week. Over the past month, he's been terrible. New Orleans Saints obviously got back to their winning ways last week. It's a great great spot
for Alvin Camara. I believe he's the top running back on your rankings this week. He is a top three running back. Fine so he's top three running back. You said that any week UM with Kamara, I believe in store right awesome, awesome match. I think Michael Thomas as well for Carolina UM d J. Moore and he wants to talk about him. He's been fantastic recently, some touchdown positive touchdown aggression better becoming his way. Probably not Greig.
This is Julio two point oh. When it comes to d J Moore, He's getting a ton of targets, a ton of receptions and yards, not scoring any touchdowns. I'm not sure it's gonna happen this week. Marshawn Lattimore looks like he's not gonna play again. He hasn't practiced all week. Haven't seen the practice report yet for today, but normally you don't practice Wednesday, you don't practice Thursday. I'm not feeling good about Marshawn Lattimore. D J Moore double digit
targets in four of his last five games. You're going to continue to fire him up. Curtis Samuel for me, high end wide receiver three. The upside is kind of limited for these two, just because Kyle Allen has not played well over the past month. Just three touchdowns eight interceptions for Kyle Allen during that span. Obviously you're using Christian McCaffrey. You don't need me to tell you that.
From a DFS perspective, you better find some value plays if you want to use McCaffrey, because it is getting really really tough out there to use Christian McCaffrey. Greg brew Brees since returning has three touchdown passes in two of three games. Carolina has allowed over three passing yards and four of their last six. We know that they struggle against the run, they're actually starting to struggle against the past now as well. So I'm firing up Drew
Brees obviously using Michael Thomas. I don't want to fool around with Ted Gain and Trey Kwan Smith. You never know on a weekly basis who it's going to be between those two. I think Jared Cook is a fine low end tight end one. He scored the touchdown last week, only had two targets. Kamara really love him for DFS. Greg Caroline allowing four point eight yards per carried of
running backs the third most Fantasy points. I think Latavias Murray is actually in play as a flax option as well, even if you get you know, ten to twelve touches, those touches can be really efficient against this Panthers. He had ten touches last or ten carries last week, including the first carry the game. As twelve you are run up the middle. So I think we'll Tavia's Murray certainly
in play against the bad Carolina Panthers rush defense. I think he's desperation flex What do you can tas Murray and Brian Hill. I have Brian Hill a few spots times. I understand that the the matchup is better for Latavious Murray, but for me, I am expecting Brian Hill to get fifteen, eighteen touches in this game, hopefully hopefully obviously um that happens.
I like Ted gain over trackline Smith called a gut called ever you want the rhyme reason to it, you know, But if we're talking about dart throws, you like the Taylor Gabriels Robert Robber matchups. I mean not that's just better matters, but like I feel like the Panthers have struggled against the past recently. I just like that they're more of a guarantee Theoryically, I don't know, yes, yeah, they are on the they are on the field more, and you don't have to worry about someone like Michael
Thomas getting as many targies. I mentioned Darius Guys in most Garborough a few times now. These two teams play each other, that the Lions and the Jeff Driskell against Swayne Hasket. Oh my god, what a game we got here. I have both both Scarborough and Darius Guys ranked inside my top twenty four this week. Greg, call me crazy.
We've been talking about both scarbro all week long. The Washington Redskins allowed the seventh most fantasy points to opposing running backs when it comes to Darius Guys, Yes, they used three running backs last week. They were trailing for a lot of that game. That is why Wendell Smallwood played of the snaps. But Darius Guys, you saw it. In the second half. They started to go away from Adrian Peterson started to get Darius Guys a little bit
more involved. Greg. Someone in the chat asked how many touches do you expect Darius Guys to get this week? I said, I think twelve to fifteen. I was gonna I think that he's gonna be in that mix. And you know the Detroit Lions are not a good defense. They've allowed seventeen total touchdowns of running backs this year, the second most fantasy points to the position. I'm in on both Darius Guys and Bo Scarbro. I really hope this one does not blow up in my Come on man,
one time, one time. We've the lines running back in the last month. May this one be right. You should be able to use Terry McLaurin in this spot too, but he was in a good spot against the Jets last How you feel good about it? It's you know, the Lions defense has has struggled overall. They are one of three teams that allow an average of four total yards of offense every single week, and they allow the fourth fourth most fantasy points to quarterbacks. But you just
can't trust Dwayne Haskins right now. I think if you're playing a deeper league, pay attention to Kelvin Harmon. He actually led this team in targets last week, Greg and he has another rookie wide receiver for them, so I think him and Haskins were playing together on the scout team. Just saying in deeper leagues, how deep is a league? At Kelvin Harmon NFFC high stakes leagues. I mean we're talking about ten bench spots. Kevin Harmon owned that league, I don't think, so let me go pick him up.
Oh man, there you go with that up next Denver and Buffalo. Good one here. Theoretically, no game. Obviously, Bill is gonna destroy them. We've talked a lot about nobody circles the wagons. Greg, we feel like a lot about Noah Fan This week, I was a really tough spot for him. Where did he fall ultimately in your Tighten rankings? So I have no A Fan as my tight end twelve. Okay,
based on volume? Where's the John Smith fall? I hadn't updated them yet based on Delaney Walker being out, but I can kind of ballpark this right now at the top of my head, John nu Smith, I'll put him up to tight end seventeen. So I'll have him just behind Ross Dwelly, our guy, Jason Witten, and Dawson Knox. Then John new Smith's gonna slod in right behind those guys. But based on the target share the volume that Noah Fan has been receiving, Brandon Allen does not throw to
the running backs as much as Joe Flacco did. It's basically no A Fan, Tim Patrick and Courtland Sutton in the past game. So, uh, it's a really tough matchup for Noah Fan. I realized that, But I mean, you're talking about a tight end that's now receiving double digit targets in a game. You gotta like that type of volume. Greg, Absolutely, you have no choice, but like the volume no A Fan, even though the matchup was brutal. He's a number two
options on the team outside of a Courtland Sunton. And you know that Genarius White's gonna be on Courtland Sutton, which means maybe no offense, maybe Tim Patrick, Tim Patrick game, probably not. I'm still trusting Courtland Sutton if I own him. He's not the Sis. One week, I have him inside my top twenty. I have him at wide receiver eighteen. So the reason the reason I asked a little bit, he's had him before after Marie Cooper. This week you
have after I have him after. Yes. So I actually put out a poll before the show, Gregg asking about wide receivers with tough matchups, and I have them ranks all in order. It's a Marie Cooper wide receiver sixteen. John Brown Courtland Sutton and then Cooper cup I have them in that order from wide receiver sixteen through nineteen. I saw this pole that you put up. It is like the hardest pole that you have had in a very long time. It's good. That means it's a good point.
Literally sat here being like, I don't I don't know what to say. John Brown is if you trust John Brown, if you look at the percentages, two percent, that's the closest poll we've ever had. It's a good pull. It's an excellent pol Frank, well done, well done. So I still do trust John Brown in the spot. I understand he's likely gonna see Chris Harris. We saw Chris Harris get beat for a deep touchdown against Stephon Diggs last week.
We know if there's one thing that John Brown is gonna be able to do, it is beat somebody deep behind the defense catch that deep ball. But the targets have been incredibly consistent for John Brown as well, Greg He is fourth in the NFL among wide receivers with a twenty six percent target share. So do not get
scared off of John Brown, in my opinion. Devin Singletary has played six of the snaps nice over over the past four weeks for the Buffalo Bill since week eight, fourteen percent targets share, so you know he's seeing more snaps. He's seeing more targets than frank Or, but frank Or will not go away. Ten red zone opportunities for Devin Singletary during that span. Frank Gore has eight, so single Terry more of a low n RB two. I'm not a hire on him this week, as I have been
the past couple of weeks. Denver allows just three point seven yards per carried running backs. Dalvin Cook struggled against this Denver Broncos defense last week. Greg, So, I think it's a tougher match up here for Devin Singletary. Uh and then Josh Allen. People are gonna have a lot of questions, Greg. He is my QB twelve. I would use both Donald and Derek Carr ahead of him, but I'm not completely off of him. That rushing, that rushing production gives him a pretty safe floor team my league.
He's Jacoby Brissette last night over Josh, I wouldn't have done that. Eagles and Seahawks up next from Philadelphia. Good spot for DK metcalf rank yeah, especially because Tyler Lockett is still banged up. We don't know if Tyler Lockett is going to play in this game. But again, you can't have success on the outside against this Philadelphia Eagles defense. Tell that to my Mohammed sanow Love from last week. But DK Metcalf, the targets have been there for him recently.
Completely wrong about him coming into the year. I thought he was a one trick pony. But maybe that's all right in the Seattle Seahawks offense because Russell Wilson arguably the best deep ball thrower in the game. So I do like to a meccalf as a high end wide receiver. Three. We don't know what's going on with this Eagle's running back situation. Miles Sanders played of the snaps last week but didn't wasn't able to make the most of that opportunity.
I do like Hollister, He's inside my top ten. I do like both zach Ertz and Dallas Goddard as well. Greg And you're using Russell Wilson. If Tyler Lockett plays, you're obviously using him as well. But maybe just you know, tick down your expectations a little bit because he is still banged up. Um, I don't really like Carson Wentz in this spot. I know that the Seattle Seahawks defense is not good, but this Eagles offense has not and they haven't been clicking over the past you know, a
month or so either. So I have Carson Wentz, you know, outside my top fifteen quarterbacks. Graig, I don't really like him very much. Alright, one last year to get to it's Sunday Night football, the Niners and the Green Bay Packers. The Niners, you kind of know what you're getting, so it's very easy we can skip over that. But for the forty Niners, we don't know the status of Deebo Samuel. We don't know the status of Emanuel Sanders. We don't know the status of George Kittle. Who do you wait
for and who do you just say goodbye to? I don't think that George Kittle is going to play in this game. But you know, if someone in your league dropped Ross Dwelly, and you're a George Kittle owner picked him up, and you know, if he doesn't go, then you used Ross Willy. If he does, then then obviously you get George Kittle in your lineup. Um. Pay attention to the practice report today, see what happens here, because I think that we're gonna get some points back and
forth year Greg, which means Deebo Samuel. The targets have been there. I want to like him, but he's banged up. So it is a very it's a very tough situation here, but definitely something to pay attention to. You love those Niners running backs going up against this Green Bay Packers defense. Wag your talk is out next fall by out the window for Frank Stanfell. I'm Gregg Sousman. Have a great weekend.
We'll see him Monday. We hope NFL season is now upon us and you can be going the eighth person away in one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament.

Jordan Wilkins, Greig one snap, one route, ran zero carries, zero targets. We know who the guy is gonna be, assuming Marlon Mack is out for the next however many weeks you don't know anything is when Marlon mac comes back, right, Because Jonathan Williams kind of
earned a role now, hasn't it. Yeah, he certainly has, you know, And what I said earlier on in the week, the reason why I like Jonathan Williams was that he proved to the Colts coaching staff that he can handle the workload, that he can perform well. Last week he ran for over a hundred yards on thirteen carries, So I think that he earned their trust and that's why
they ended up giving him. You know, I don't think anybody saw this type of workload coming twenty nine touches in this game for Jonathan Williams, But you know, he made the most of it. Didn't run incredibly efficiently here, only four yards per carry, but he did enough and he scored a touchdown as well. He had a few receptions. It was. You know, look, if you started John and Williams, you are very very happy with what you ended up getting. Yeah,
freaking litely, he was unbelievable for the Colts. Last night. On the other side of the Houston Texans, DeAndre Hopkins had a big time game that see why Hilton typ a game that we expected. Hopkins with those two touchdowns long touchdowns as well, which was awesome. And then Will Fowler welcome back like he missed no time because he was the same exact role he always plays on this team.
It was insane. Man just stepped right back in And admittedly I said yesterday, don't know what to expect from will Fuller, but he stepped up in a big way against a a solid secondary. Right the Colts don't have any lockdown cornerbacks. They play more zone coverage than you know, most defenses. But will Fuller man made the most of this opportunity of the snaps yesterday. Ran thirty one routes
on thirty three Watson dropbacks. Finished with game highs across the board eleven targets, thirty nine percent target share, seven receptions a hundred and forty yards. What sucks, Greg is we still know that the floor is low at times for a little fuller because he leaves with injury. He is a big he's a big play threat. But if he's not converting on those big plays, then you know we we could see a lower floor from him. This is gonna end up being one of his better boom plays.
And he was. He wasn't in the lineup for anybody. I would imagine I'll look that up to see what his start percentage. He was not in our lineup. DeAndre Hopkins was awesome last night. Had that blow up game that we were hoping for for a while. T Y Hilton, Greg, you know, we knew what the risk was going into this game, and I had him ranked as my wide receiver fourteen. I was very aggressive. It was a good matchup going up against Houston. I wasn't just playing off
the narrative that he owns them. They are a bad secondary. I mean, lot of wide receivers have done well against him, not just t Y Hilton, but ultimately in the spot great. You could see that he was limited. He was jogging up and down the sideline a lot in this game. The Colts had sixties seven offensive plays in this game. Game he played on twenty five of them,
