And listen to me. This is the Fantasy Football Best Friends Forever Show. Start listening to us, or suffer the consequences. Listen, Dee did did? Yeah? He Now welcome yours by Byron Right, your co host. Bye bye, Spake bread Bright, Steffall, don't go five eleven. Why, ladies and gentlemen in Yorks with that, we will do you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He's Frank Snaffle, He's e y Eric Young and I am gran friend you. What's happening man? Great?

Happy Friday to you, and happy Friday to everybody out there who did not bench Lamar Jackson. Everybody, because if you did, you're an idiot. I hope so Greg so you know not everything everybody. Kofi Kingston, Kobe Kingston has sell these sweets this morning? What is Kobe doing? Why? How do you not have Kofe Kingston watching the BFF. What is Kobe doing not texting you? We're watching? Trust me? I reprimanded him. I mean, and the reality is is that I'm playing him in the w W E League.

So uh, he's got Jacoby Brissette filling in for Lamar Jackson with his it's not the smartest thing. And now he keeps saying, UH, fantasy analysts someone told him to do it. He won't give me the name. I offered to beat the guy up myself for him, even though I'm playing him. Uh Kofi one of the greatest human beings of all time, big football guy, huge fantasy player. UM. I made it a point to stay in the crowd

during his WrestleMania match last year. And I can tell you I'm an emotional person and I cried because often good guys don't get rewarded in this business. And he's definitely one of the best human beings I've ever met in my life. And UH made a massive mistake and I'm going to reap the benefits. Uh sounds a great guy, great wrestler. Like to watch him terrible, Are you kidding me?

He's in the semifinals. He led us gray by somebody that he was relying on, And I said, look, I mean, even though I'm playing him, if he would have texted me, I would have said, you can't sit Lamar Jackson. We said it yesterday. I mean, I didn't have a pile of questions, but a lot of questions on social media. We had people writing in the show asking us about people sat him. You don't understand how or why speaking of this, speaking of this, Alex Grey here in the

you're in the room. Come here, well over there, come here, come wake, come we come here. So right here is a is Alex. Everybody knows there's the updates on Sunday morning because the updates in the morning with us, right, So Alex asked me yesterday, as you guys heard, he's our video producer. Normally, um oh, man, can I mention I would love to reenact, as you don't mind? All right? So he comes downstairs to his update, Can I mention,

gottom out here? I have staying? Alex isn't downstairs. But we got you know, we gotta continue doing the job right there, keeps doing, keeps doing out, keeps doing there. We got You're good now, all right? So Alex, okay, sorry, try Vane Lamar Jackson. I literally you know everybody knows me, like, are you an idiot? I told the story yesterday. He's like pacing back and forth, back and one of his

five quarterbacks pacing back and forth. And then, as we said yesterday, we bring you on the show today, tell me to f myself if I was wrong. I'm gonna be honest with you. I did not receive a text last night saying thanks. But first thing this morning, what did you say to me? I was. I was like, yeah, yeah, Greg, you're right. He goes, don't do that, Alex. Don't because then you know what he comes on the BFS. His head is already big enough. You know what he'd be

doing this. You know what he's hyping up. Greg. He goes, he goes, you know mark Ingram had that first touchdown. I go what about the other five? And he goes, yeah, I'm not like forty eight nothing after one player. I'm like, you damn right you are you know who's not King? You're a smart player than Kobe Kigs. Then they got a gift to the at place, Alexa Son, I don't think you just stim buy here you go. That is the excitement that you get, right for somebody that's smart

enough to start Lamar Jackson. The story you just heard from e y is what you get when you don't yep. And that's it all wrapped up bow and a ribbon. Greg. We tried to tell you this. This man was averaging the most Fantasy points by a quarterback in NFL HIT history, and he just added to that average. And the guy put up in a six point passing touchdown league. I play in the NFFC where I have Lamar Jackson High

Stakes league. This guy put up forty nine fantasy points last night, greg points in a six point passing touchdown league. So it's funny. And this is a typical you know me conversation. But you know the survivor playoff, the survivor pool that I do player pool and in the playoffs, which is awesome. I'm guessing you use Lamar Jackson. Rein much more excited. I do not use Lamar Jackson. We have Lamar Jackson saved. We have them scheduled to play for us next week, and of who, my buddies just

like odd. Next week is the week he doesn't do anything. Well, you know, I'm probably gonna take about at halftime once they clinched the hole. Yeah, we have seen it. We have literally saved as we wanted to do that because we thought, I think next week he plays like the Browns or something. I was like, all right, cool, Oh gosh, Greig, should you should ask for PFF on this one. I could have told you Lamar Jackson. Yess, the Jets, there's no using this. It's Lamar Jacks we're using this week.

Baker Mayfield, Yeah, that's pretty good. We could' will be who breeze them on the night. It was good. I don't know how you had the patients to not using Jackson all season. You're You're insane. The way to do I mean again, the way to do it is just you. The points reset in the playoffs, so you need to have players set. Yeah, we restrained ourselves not used Lamar, and when we're using them next week with Mark Andrew's

I'm sure. I hope he goes off next week. Greg, I hope you bring it home and four people use Lamar Jackson this week. Damn. That doesn't seem good for your for your point total though it doesn't seem great. It doesn't seem great. Well, I hope you win, uh, because if you win, then you have to buy us all lunch called it. Uh. Sure I win. I love everybody hunch. I'm not gonna win that. How about those Jets, though, Greg, they put don't fight like in the first quarter, right, Yeah,

I saw a lot of texts about it. So a lot of texts about that. Sam Donald's good quarterback. I don't care what anyone says, adowns just saying to him, what's up about gaze? Where we're gonna around the NFL this Sunday, you're BFS hanging out with you. NFL season is now upon us, so you can become the eighth person to win one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament. My setting their lineups using the Daily Order

All right, Well, well, well back with you here on the bf Babs, Eric Young,

Frank Snaffle, Greg Susman hanging out. Happy day here today for all those Lamar Jackson starters out there, and happy day for all of us. We're gonna go game by game as we do, get you everything you need to know about this Sunday the most information that we can in just the next forty five minutes. So let's break it down, Frank. Let me start with spy gay number two with an even Patriots literally spying on the Bengals, and say, all right, I got they had their documentary

series do your Job. They're following a scout around fine, getting why are they filming the Bengals sideline? We've been talking about this at all, but like, why are they filming the Bengal sideline? Mistake? Obviously you need an edge to beat the Cincinnati Bengals greg any edge they can. They're trying to see, like what Aja Green saying, Oh, should we get this guy something like that? I don't know.

I want to play with the Patriots next year, all right, the Patriots and Bengals, And I know, well, it's look a lot, of course about the Patriots and who you can start and who you can't, specifically with the running backs, obviously start Julietelman and that's about it. What the Bengals. A question I've gotten a lot this week is what do I do about Tyler Boyd? Can I start Tyler Boyd? So I'll throw this one to you do you a comfortable starting? Um, I'm not New England's secondary has been really,

really good. It's scary, scary matchup. Um, there's no one else really that I'm afraid of there that's going to poke average away from him. They're going to double team him. Um and someone Actually I have been pushing kind of all week. Women ask me. I think Mixing is actually going to have a pretty good game here. Um there, Um, Andy Dalton loves to check the ball down. Mixing has been good the last couple of weeks. Um, and they're going to need him to do something, so I think

since then he makes this game pretty interesting. Um, and probably losing the end to the Patriots. But I think Mixing is gonna have a pretty decent game. Yeah, I'm with e Y on this one. I'm pretty much out on Joe on Tyler Boyd in this matchup. I have him as my wide receiver. Thirty six greg so low end wide receiver. Three of the production has been there for in the past couple of weeks, seventy five yards

or a touchdown in three straight games. He has been uh the top target getter for Andy Dalton over the past two starts, so we know that Dalton's going to look his way. But the Patriots secondary has just been so tough all year. They are still number one in past defense TV away on the season, they are six and run defense TV way, So if there is a

way to attack them, it is on the ground. We've seen some running backs have success against this Patriots defense, and Joe Mixon is the RB five in fantasy points per game since Week eight. This is the running back that we were hoping for all season long. The offensive line is playing better, They're giving him more touches. They're throwing the ball to Joe Mixing a little bit more. I think he is a solid RB two in this spot. Craig, I totally agree with you, Frank, Joe Mixes really good

as of late. And also, would you like to read my notes for Andy Dalton here? Greg, alright, least he puts you a little a little all right? Uh, there are the notes. Look at the notes for Andy Dalton. It says, no, that's that's my note. My notes for the Patriots wide receivers start Edelman analysis especially. That's it. Like I said on Monday, you can't trust anybody else in this Patriots offense, Greg, You're starting Julian Edelman. He's been phenomenal. He's the go to guy for Tom Brady.

Tom Brady leads the league in passing attempts and a lot of those passing attempts are going towards Julian Edelman. Nobody else can create separation on this team. They obviously have a report together. You want to trust one of the running backs here because the Bengals just get eaten alive by unning backs. But how can you do it? Sony Michelle? Greg, since Rex Burke had returned from injury back in Week eight, is playing of the snaps. He

has not scored a touchdown during that span. Since Week eight, Sony Michelle does not have a touchdown. How can you use him against the Bengals? You can't. And this is gonna be the week that he scores three touchdown. Listen, I doe the same way as I felt last week. And I didn't love James White last week, but I'm I'm doing it. James White and Julian ed him and

that's James White is used more in competitive games. Four unless you think this game is gonna be competitive, but it's you know, uh, ten point ten point spread right now with the with the New England Patriots being favored on the road. So I don't know how competitive this game is actually gonna be in a full PPR league. Yes, James White is a flex option. Outside of that, I don't want anything to do with this offense outside of

Julian Edelman. Fair enough, all right, Well you know Tom Brady as I love their defense obviously, and as you mentioned, Tom Brady is like number twenty one or so in You're right, so he's not really using Tom Brady if he doesn't have to. Okay, let me move on to other popular question we've gotten this week, Frank, and that's

here in New York's the Giants and the Dolphins. Ryan Fitzpatrick lean the Dolphins into town, and there's a lot of questions about their wide receivers, Davante Parker, um Alert Wilson. What were your cushion protocol? Have we seen anything about their status for Sunday yet? So, the last that I saw was Davanta Parker practice in full today. He is still in the concussion protocol, but it is looking like

he's going to play. We also got that suite from Inside Injuries and it says it's trending in that direction, which would be a huge get. I mean, we've already lost so many wide receivers this week, from Mike Evans to d J HRC to Alston Jeffrey to Marvin Jones. So if we can get Devanta Parker back in the lineup, Eric Young's DeVante Parker back in our fantasy lineups. He is a legit, high end wide receiver, too low and wide receiver one in this match up against the Giants.

Craig alright third upon Parker. Absolutely, he's been fantastic all you know, season long. To be honest with you, if he's in there, get him back in the lineup. How confident are you in Patrick Larry? Where is he in your rankings? So Patrick Laird is right in the middle of my RB three flex rankings. You know, he did not run efficiently like any Dolphins running back hasn't been able to do so far this season, but he saw a massive workload last week. Greg nineteen touches two of

the running back snaps. His snapshare was fourth most among all running backs in Week fourteen. So you know that he's gonna be on the field. He's going to catch passes. I think he is a solid RV three solid flex. The Giants are better against the run because everyone just throws against them, but I think that he'll catch anywhere between three and five passes. I think Patrick Lare is

a solid flex. I'm not ready to get his name tattooed on my body anywhere like some other people on Twitter right now, and it's crazy, but I do like him as a flex option alright, so we like right if his Pastrick talks about him before as well as in your top twelve. Mike a Secki is just outside my top twelve, but I think that he is a fair streaming tight end. Zach er. It's two touchdowns last week against this defense, and again, Ryan Fitzpatrick is myke

QB eleven. I would start him over Aaron Rodgers, Matt Ryan Kirk, Cousins, Tom Brady, a lot of big names, but have tough matchups this week. On the other side, the New York Giants e y popular. Quite other popular question I've gotten, and I know we've talked about a little bit here. Narius Sleet certainly, Shephard is in there, Golden Teet is in there, Eli Manning is in there. Once again no Evan Ingram for the New York Giants. What do you think about Darius Sleeton this week? I

mean him and Eli showed a legitimate connection last week. UM, actually in the Dynasty League, the fact that Slayton caught those touchdowns and got all the yards and Shepherd didn't knock me out of the playoffs. UM. And I think Slaton is a nut guy that I mean, until they prove as wrong, as a guy that you can trust in your lineup wide receiver, you know, low wide receiver to top end wide receiver, three territory. UM, Miami's defense

isn't changing the world in any way. UM. I think Fitzpatrick is going to score and Eli is going to be forced to throw the ball, and he obviously likes to throw it to Slayton, So I think you can trust him this week. Again, I agree, I have him inside my top thirty six. Greg and I put out the poll before the show on Fantasy BFF Twitter, which one of these fringe wide receiver threes you like most between Zach Pascal, Darius Slayton, Terry McLaurin, and Chris Conley.

The leading vote getter as of now, forty of the vote has gone to Darius Slayton. I like both him and Sterling Shepherd. I know you know you've been on Shepherd. I don't think that it's a one or the other. I think both can actually be successful in this spot here Greg, which means I guess Elim Henning is on our radar as a super flex quarterback. But ultimately I do like Slayton. Uh. He had the most UH targets

last week. He took advantage, he had targets down the field, and Miami has allowed the most wider the most touchdowns to wide receivers so far this season. I like Darius Layton quite a bit. Right, Darius Slatine will be in there. The last wide receiver that was in this mix from the question I got, it was a good one. That's why I keep bringing it up. Uh, it's in this Washington Philly matchup, and specifically it's scary. Terry mclauren. McLaurin,

he's good, he's good. Dwayne Haskey's, as I said yesterday the day before, bad exactly. That's correct. Who would you take Terry McLaurin or Darius let Man this is or Tyler Boyd. That's how I got here too. This This is a tough one. I do have Tyler Boyd rank the lowest of all of them, So I think I would lean with Slayton. And I think it is a risky proposition because look, you're putting faith in Eli Manning or Dwayne Haskins. Either way, you know you don't want

to put faith in that quarterback to come through. But we at least saw it last week. We saw a blow up game out of Darius Layton. Terry McLaurin was fine, he scored a touchdown circus catch for him, but it was still a terrible throw by Dwayne Haskins. It came in garbage time. He hadn't really done anything before that. But that Philadelphia Eagles secondary is bad. I like both of these guys as wide receiver threes. I lean slightly towards Slate. What about you, Terry McLaurin or Darius laden

I'm gonna go with McLaurin. I think he's just the superior athlete. Haskins and him do have a connection. Um, he was pretty decent last week and and against Philadelphia. UM, they haven't been able to stop anybody. Their secondary is is is brutal, my lean also Terry McLaurin more in this game. On the other side, NFL Season is now upon us, so you can become the eighth person away one million dollars in a Fandueler Draft Kings tournament by setting their lineups using the Daily Roder dot Com DFS

That's from a code actually for dempercent discount dailor order dot com where millionaires are made. Back here with you, your BFFs, Eric Young, Frank Stanfell, and myself. Um, I'm gonna get into a question in a moment, but I want to go back to these Eagles and Washington game. Frankie, we talked a lot about Terry McLaurin there and where you see him. What about Adrian Peterson? Is he in your top twenty four this week? He is not inside my top twenty four. I do like him as a

flex option in RB three. I worry a little bit about the match up here. The Eagles have been great against running backs, even going back to last year. They're allowing just three point six yards per carry to running backs this season, so I worry about the matchup. I do like the volume here obviously, so that makes a p a solid RB three flex option. You know, he's not gonna do anything in the past game, but he is going to see carries. You know, since Bill Callahan

is taken over, they want to run the football. And in the four games without Darius guys, with Bill Callahan as the insterim head coach Adrian Peterson average eight teen point eight carries per game and nearly nineties six rushing yards per games. So I think that he's in that mix once again. And if they get down near the goal line, you know that AP is going to be the guy. So I think he's a solid flex option. Chris Thompson also a solid flex option here this week.

You I feel like I do have a weird feeling about him this week. Um, he could catch a ton of balls. Haskins loves to check the ball down. Um that they're not going to be able to run the ball very effectively a field. Philadelphia's run defense is pretty good. Um, so they're gonna throw the ball and I think the short intermediate routes Thompson's you know, that's that's his thing. I mean, And this guy could catch a ton of

balls and be highly used this week. Yeah, Chris Thompson led this team and targets and receptions a week ago. And you know, as we've said with Dwayne Haskins, he doesn't want to take chances down the field. While that's what the massive says he should do against Philly, ultimately he has thrown a lot more short passes and a lot of checkdowns to running back. So if you are desperate, I think this is more of a desperation play Greg.

But in PPR leagues, I can see using Chris Thompson as like one or you know, your second flex if you play in you know, one of those deeper line up leagues. All right, let me go to the other side of the Philadelphia Eagles, where I've got a lot of questions frank about Boston Scott, who had a huge Mother and Night football game. Can you do it again? Yeah? This is a tougher one to figure out because you're you're trying to evaluate how much of last week was

for real and how much of it was all right. Well, Boston Scott was only on the field because Miles Sanders was dealing with cramping, so you have to weigh those things. I still think that if Miles Sanders is healthy and good to go, which by all accounts he is, h Jordan Howard doesn't look like he's gonna play again. I literally looked it up during the break. His Rordal world just says no change. So I don't know what's going

on with with Jordan Howard. It might just be one of those injuries you know, where the where they want to see what they have in their younger players. But I still do like Miles Sanders is lowan RB two here, Greg, we saw Washington get ran all over by Aaron Jones last week. I think they can be taking advantage of again. I think Boston Scott is in that similar territory as Chris Thompson. I think it's like a really really desperate flex. I would go with Chris Thompson just because I trust

his role more in this offense. But it is a good matchup. I just don't know how much we can trust him, especially you know in Week fifteen Fantasy semifinals, you'd have to be really really desperate obviously know about zach Ertz here. Would you start any Philadelphia wide receiver? Uh no, unless they bring Tarrell Owens back? All right? Uh our buddy, this guy right here, all right, young he has a question for us, right Randolf on the air, and it's some not disimilar to the question I have,

as you know for my last flex. It's Patrick Laird or Emmanuel Sanders, which isn't really a question, Greg, fair enough, Well, I don't know your answer is, but excited to hear more about Emmanuel Sanders if he um carlois Hide James Conner are also in the mix for e Y. He needs one of those four. So I do think it's James Connor is really interesting and I'm happy that we

bring this up because he is. He's been one of the more tougher running backs to rank this week, just because you don't know what his workload is going to look like. It's a solid matchup against Buffalo. The way to attack Buffalo is obviously by running the football. Uh. Their secondary is amazing, but you don't know if Connor is going to see a full workload. Benny Snell has been adequate for the team. I'm not gonna say he's been great. Uh. And there's only a chance of re

injury for James Conner. You know, the last time we saw him, he he hurt himself in the first quarter again and didn't play the rest of that game. So it's a tougher call than than it normally should be when it comes to James Connor. But I do lean that way. Greg playing at home, you know, normally primetime games at home, Pittsburgh very competitive in these spots. James Connor has had a lot of weeks off. We spoke

to Virginia yesterday about him. He said, she's said that, you know, he should be good to go, like his Optimore recovery time in his past, like he's he's ready to come back. I would trust James Connor over Carlis Hide. You trust James Connor over Manuel Sanders. No, I would go with Emmanuel Sanders, And so I'm going with the e y. I'm going with the Manuel Sanders over Patrick Laird. I think it's a really good spot against Atlanta. I am a little concerned that's gonna run reemost Sert all

day long and will be enough for Mannie Sanders. Um is this the first time Coyle Shanahan has played against the Falcons since he's probably not right, probably since he's been in San Francisco, probably, so there might be a little, you know, a little extra oomp in this game. Great and obviously a great matchup for Emmanuel Sanders coming off that great week last week. You don't have to worry about the snaps anymore. But concerned we had last week was we didn't know how healthy he was because the

two weeks before that he didn't have big production. He wasn't seeing big targets, but then obviously inside the dome last week, comes out and has a monster game. I think going back home San Francisco has been on the road. I think they're in for a big performance here against the Atlanta Falcons, and I think it starts and ends with Jimmy Garoppolo, Emmanuel Sanders and Deebo Samuel. Both of those guys are saw My Top twenty wide. Like both of them here this week as well. James Conner one

e y is really really interesting. You know, with Duck Hodges, they just want to run the football. That's all they want to do. So maybe a lot of James connerist I kind of like them. I kind of knew. It's really really tough to say if you have to set the over under for James Conner touches this week, Greg, Yeah, what would you say? What I said that touches at fifteen fifteen? Yeah, I was thinking like thirteen and a half,

fourteen and a half something around there were too far off. Yeah, and look, even if they use Benny Snow like you said, they don't want Duck Hodges throwing the ball a ton against this Buffalo Bill Secondary. So we can have a game where James Conner touches the ball fifteen times and Benny Snow also touches the ball tend to twelve times exactly. That's not insurmounting, not at all. Yeah, So there you go. I hope we helped you. Um, and it was Miles Sanders,

not a man. No Sanders the question. That's why I put it out because we just talked about Laird. We talked about Miles Sanders. My answer that is a little bit closer. My answers gonna be James Conner still over Miles Sanders. Huh Landers, James Conner. It's just you know, in week fifteen, it's risky. It is risky for sure. I I think I would leave with Miles Sanders. It's a good spot against Washington, good matchup. Aaron Jones ran all over them. I like the matchup for James Connor.

But I just think there's a little bit more risk involved. I trust the workload right now that Miles Sanders is going to see all right, I mentioned Emmanuel Sanders. Let's get to the San Francisco four now a little bit. You talked about Devo, you talked about Manny sanders Hew, Hi is rahe Mos Dirt in your running back rankings this week? So I have Raheem Mostirt. He is inside

my top twenty. He is a legit RB two. I have him as my RB nineteen, one spot ahead of Devin Singletary, and I think that he has earned this much like everything Kyle Shanahan has said about Raheem Mostirt, how can he go away from him? Right now? How can you go away from him in fantasy? It's it's pretty hard to do. I mean the touches that he's getting, how efficiently he's running. He has explosiveness, and I know on paper the Falcons look like they're a good run defense.

That's because everyone just throws on them. So I think they're playing with the lead in this game. I really do like the forty Niners in this spot. I think we see another game out of Raheemost where he sees fifteen plus touches behind this offensive line, uh, really good offense. I think he gets in the end zone again as well. I think he's a solid RV two. Can you start Matt Brida this week? I think that he is kind of in that range of desperation flexes that we've been

talking about Chris Thompson, Boston Scott. You don't know how many touches he's gonna be, how many snaps he's going to play Greg again. He has explosiveness much like where he mostert, but you don't know what the workload is going to be. So I think he's in that range with Chris Thompson and Boston Scott, but I would trust him over those players. On the other side, e y, you do not have Calvin Ridley in the lineup for the Falcons? Is weis de Fonte Freeman is expected to play. Obviously,

Julio Jones is out there as well. How do you feel about someone like Matt Ryan who always go back to all this show? How do you feel about Matt Ryan? How do you feel about Russell Gage? He's gonna start and blazing? How really where are you with those guys? Uh? Matt Ryan is It's scary right San Francisco's defenses for real? Um, And the reality is I think San Francisco is going to run the ball, They're going to get up and Matt Ryan is going to have to throw. Uh. Not

having Calvin Ridley there is going to affect things. Cages just not as good as of an option. Um, but there could be a ton of checkdowns and I think Julio Jones is still a little banged up, so that worries me. So, I mean, there could be a massive workload for Cage this week and he could be a really sneaky pick if they can move the football Frankie obviously everyone was able to. If Atlantic and rustle gauge,

then could be potentially sneaky. Yeah. I think this is just a bad spot for them, you know, going across the country to play on the West coast. Here San Francisco gets back home again. I really like San Francisco in this spot. I don't know, you know which Falcon team is gonna show up. They've been very Doctor jekylin Mr Hidish where you don't know which team is going to be there. I think Devontae Freeman is a flex option,

nothing more than that. He had seen sixty seven percent of the snaps each of the past two games since he's returned from injury. But again, if they fall behind, I think you can trust him for targets and receptions, especially with no Calvin Ridley. But outside of that, I don't know that DeVonta Freeman is going to get back in the end zone this week, or that he's going to be able to run efficiently. And I think if you own Austin Hooper, Greg uh likely bounced back spot

for him. You know, if you have him, you're likely using him. As you're starting said in this you probably are. He'll be active this week. There's no worries on him this week, which is that right might get killed in this game for real, like San Francisco's pass rushes legit greg And this offensive line for Matt Ryan has not been good all seasons. Speaking of players that are expected to play with all a minute to go to the break, But Adam Feeling is going to play as long as

nothing out of nowhere pops up before the game. Will he be healthy enough Frank to give it a whole game. Last time he tried this, he didn't even last a quarter. Yeah, much like what we said about James Conner. We had Virginia on yesterday. She spoke about Adam Feeling. She said that he is good to go. I mean he's passed his optimal recovery time him. It's tricky with the hamstrings with wide receivers. I understand that. And the last time we saw him he reinjured himself much like James Conner,

but he has had adequate time to heal from this. Greg, So I think again, he's not the wide receiver one that he normally is not even high and wide receiver too. He's on that wide receiver to wide receiver three kind of fringe this week, and you know what he's capable of. So I think more often than not, if you own Adam Feeling, you're likely getting him in your line. Right there, you go war on Minnesota and the rest of the

NFL this week. NFL season is now upon us, so you can become the eighth person away one million dollars in a fandueler Draft Kings tournament.

Do you what do you have this record from the Wonders? Uh? Do you know what? I might have? It? Actually have to look? Yeah, well I've got over. I understand that this is from movie, a movie soundtrack. I've got some movie soundtrack down there for I might have it.

That's awesome to you next time I come over. That's my request. It's listening to The Wonders. I was just gonna say, I'm surprised you guys didn't didn't break that out when was there? Thing was I didn't want to be you know, the lot of question. It was like I wanted to let Judy requested, Sarah request what a gentleman you are? You know what my taste going on there? You know you want me to be like, all right, dude,

let's let's play some third eye lines. I also was about to say, you know, by doing the show, by doing the show with you, and Gabe has pointed this out before, people kind of just lumping my musical interest with yours. But we got a lot of Gregg's Susman music here on the BFS. That doesn't necessarily mean that that's music that I enjoy. You want the game resume music. Well, not necessarily that either, but yeah, somewhere in between, you know.

That's that's basically where I lie. I wouldn't say that I am the nineties alternative buff that Greg is. I I do like some of it, for sure, but not nearly as much as you buddy. All Right, man, that's it's fine. We need more Metallica here on the Show's alright, um, let me get back here too this week, and we're talking about Minnesota in particular with Adam Feeling being back, um getting him back into your lineup? Does that make sense to you? What I said, like low and wide

receiver two, high and wide receiver three? Does that make sense for Feeling? Who would you rather start this week? Adam Feeling or t Y Hilton? Definitely Feeling. I'm telling you I don't want to do the t Y Hilton thing. Do you you like Terry McLaurin and Darius Layton over to Wy Hilton? Yes? Does that all make sense? I don't know. I guess we'll find out on Sunday or Monday. Monday, Yeah, I don't. I don't think it does. And they like

to Hilton more. It's just too risky for me man, it's so risky UM one Minnesota alex Alexander Madison has been ruled out in this one, which he's either a Mirabdula or my Boon or a combination of the two of them, will be the backup with Dowmond Cook. You're gonna get a whole lot of Dialmond Cook this week. The feeling of the Dowmond Cook owners. That's my finals. Yeah. Absolutely, and this is what we've been waiting for. We knew that it was a great Fantasy playoff schedule for Dalvin Cook.

Uh So you're not going away from him at this point, and I think he's going to be a very popular DFS target this week as well. With no Alexander Madison, we could see even more snaps and touches for Dalvin Cook than we normally do. We spoke about Adam Feeling. I think Stefon Diggs is in a similar range. Have him a little bit higher than Feeling, just because he's been on the field. We know he's healthy. He has developed that connection with Kirk Cousins throughout the course of

the year. But let's not discount that this is a tougher matchup man The Chargers have been really really good against wide receivers. They got Derwin James back recently as well. That's a really strong secondary. Again, I think they lean on Dalvin Cook a lot. The way to attack this Chargers defense is by running the football. The Los Angeles Chargers. Speaking of running the football, they're good at it and Austin Ekeler is better at it than Melvin Gordon. How

high is l Austin Ekeler in your Army rankings this week? Yeah? So, I have Austin Ekeler as a solid RB two. It looks at a tougher matchup against Minnesota, but I think you just kind of have to throw matchups out the window when it comes to Austin Ekela. At this point, I have him as my RB seventeen. You could probably argue that he should be even higher than that, but his efficiency, what he's able to do on a per touch basis, they use him a ton in the passing game.

I don't think you can get away from the upside of Austin Ekela here. Great, I agree Austler has to be in your lineup given what he has done over the past couple of weeks. You want, I can start big Mike Williams this week. I feel like it's a reach. Um, the guy who gotta score touchdowns at some point, right, Like I think I said that every week at the start of the season, the way through draft season. I mean, he had a pile of him last year and he

was banged up. He's been mostly healthy this year. Um, I think he missed a game or two, but uh, he's healthy, and I mean they're just not getting it done. As I think Philip Rivers is definitely on the back nine. He hasn't been as efficient or as good as a quarterback as he's been in the past. And that's a guy like you've been able to trust him for how long, I mean, like ten years. He's been one of those guys that you know he's just going to produce and

and score touchdowns. Obviously he's not gonna run or do anything like that, but but has been a very good fantasy quarterback, a guy that you could get late. But Mike Williams, it's scary because he hasn't done it all year. But I mean just odds of averages. I feel like I feel like he scores a touchdown this week. I think so too. I'm actually you know Mike Williams and

have him as a high end wide receiver. Three. You know, touchdown regression is real and we know that, but it has swung too far the other way for Mike Williams this season. He had ten touchdowns on just sixty six targets. Last year. We knew that regression was going to hit him. It took him twelve of weeks to score his first touchdown this season, and he's actually been good in terms of his yardage. You know, Greg, He's averaging seventy point one receiving yards per game. That is twenty one in

the NFL. That's not a bad mark among all pass catchers. That's running backs, wide receivers, tight ends. He's twenty first in the NFL. So the yards have been there for Mike Williams, and the Vikings are allowing the fourth most receptions to wide receivers and the fifth most touchdowns. I like Mike Williams is a high end wide receiver. Three. Greig Mike Williams in a spot to to see here this week against Minnesota, who's been burned repeatedly here this season.

We'll see what he can do with Jacksonville and Oakland. He's talked a lot about DJ Shark not being able to play this week, has a practice al he's out on Sunday. Haven't seen what's going on with D D. Westbrookly, your boy has been Chris Connley. D D. Westbrook has been cleared. He's fully ready to play in this game heading into Week fifteen against the Oakland Raiders. So I do like DDI Westbrook. He's my wide receiver twenty seven. I have. Chris Connley is my wide receiver thirty four.

He is legit wide receiver three. UM. I know that Leonard four Nett is going to see a big workload like he has all season. But it's easier to attack the Oakland Raiders through with the pass than it is with the run. And I think because of that, we're gonna see a lot of concentrated targets on d D. Westbrook and on Chris Connley here in this spot, Greg, So, if you're lost out on d J hr or Mike Evans,

you've been scrambling for the Darius Layton's. Um, you know the Zach Pascal's If you missed out on those guys, I think Chris Conley is a fine fallback option as a wide receiver. Thread, I agree with you. I like Chris Conney this week. I think it's a desperation option, no doubt. But in this matchup I like it a lot. Man. I like Chris Connley, like in this spot with Gardner Minshew who I don't hate this week either Um against Oakland e y Chris Connley or we haven't gotten to

this game yet Danny Ammond Dola. I think both guys are in a really good spot in terms of their matchups. Yeah, I think that there's going to be more opportunity for Connley there. Um. Oakland Raiders are are are bad, very very bad defense, and they are on a bit of a slide right now. So I think I would trust trust Connelly Moore. But it wouldn't surprise me if Danny m Mandola this week catches a ton of balls. Um, a guy that's managed to stay healthy all year, I

wouldn't have been on that ever in my life. Um, and uh, he's been pretty efficient. The fact that they've got Gladay and Jones there, I feel like he's definitely the third option. But it's just going to depend on what Detroit decides to do offensively. Speaking of that year he wrote it up. Franks, Let's dive in here because Dandy Amdola's matches obviously also awesome. I guess him by Buccaneers team. The question is, is David Winson playing best?

Question number one? Yes, he's good to go. He's already been fully cleared. He's he's ready, He's in there all right. Question two? Is both Scarborough playing? Question three? Follow up doesn't matter. It doesn't look good for both Scarborough. He's been banged up all week. He's barely been barely practiced. I don't know that he's officially been ruled out of this game, but I don't think that it matters anyway. Really tough matchup going up against Tampa Bay run defense.

And even if he doesn't play, I don't want to get involved with anybody else there. J D. McKissick, Ty Johnson been there, done that, spent all my fab on thy Johnson Ey made fun of me for it. Let's move on. When it comes to the Detroit Lions, Kenny Golladay inside my top twelve wide receivers this week, Greg Marvin Jones lands On I R I think that Kenny Golladay is going to see a massive target share in

this game. I don't hate Danny Amendola either. I do prefer Chris Conley over him, but I think a Mendola is one of those. You know, if you're desperate for a flex or or a wide receiver three, you can do worse than Danny Amendola this week, and then I expect a ton of targets for Chris Godwin. On the other side, Greg no more Mike Evans. He's been the

go to guy for Jamis Winston all season long. I think if you're desperate for a tight end, you know, with those targets now gone, with Mike Evans being out, I think O. J. Howard is back in the mix. I do like Ian Thomas over him as a stream, but O J. Howard, I think again, if you're desperate for a tight end, I think he's in this mix. He's gonna see some targets. I agree with you, He's absolutely in the mix here this week without like Evans.

We've been trying to figure out who's gonna replace Mike Evans, Like which these wide receivers, the Scotty Millers in the world. Howard's probably the easy answer. Yeah, you're probably right. And we were trying to figure out earlier in the week

Brashad Perryman, uh and Justin Watson. I was like Watson, but Perryman was on the field more, and now you have to decide was going to see more targets and Scotty Miller back in the mix too, if you're desperate again, like in a deeper league, I think that you can look at Perryman and Watson really good matchup going up against his Detroit Lion secondary. The Lions defenses in general

is very bad. But I think the easy answer, like you said, Greg is is OJ Howard's probably gonna see uh the most consistent upticking imagined Ian Thomas E. Thomas starting this week once again for Carolina. Greg Olsen has been ruled out with his concussion, So Carolina going up against the Seattle team that has a lot of points in the tight end position. Ian Thomas certainly in the mix here this week for the Carolina Panthers. I've had a lot of questions about Curtis Samuel. What do you

think of hit him this week? UM, I feel like this was I mean massive, massive offseason Darling. Everyone thought he was going um to to get past and the production wise of um oh my god U d J Moore. D J Moore is the number one receiver there. I never bought into the Curtis Samuel hype. I think he could, you know, he he could be effective, but I don't think I would trust him this week. I think Ian Thomas has a possibility of having a decent game and d J. Moore is the guy that you want to

trust there. I think Curtis Samuel is a solid wide receiver three, low and wide receiver three in this spot. I'm not really scared of the Seattle Seahawks secondary greg or their defense in general. Seattle is a six and a half point favorite in this game, and the Caroline Panthers are home dogs. I think that they're chasing points, which is gonna lead to more throwing. Obviously, love d J. Moore, get him in your lineups. Christian McCaffrey is gonna be

Christian McCaffrey. But I do like Curtis Samuel and I like Ian Thomas. You mentioned the Seattle Seahawks have allowed the second most fantasy points too tight ends all season long. Greg Olsen has been ruled out of this game. I think Ian Thomas is a fine stream. He is my tight end twelve. I picked him up, I'm starting him in the league. Let's go, Ian Thomas. Would you prefer Curtis Samuel over any of those fringe e other wide receivers we've been talking about, like the Danny Amendola's, the

Chris Conleys. What do you think probably would prefer Samuel to them? Yes, I have Chris Conley ranked slightly higher than Curtis Samuel, so and then I have Amendola behind Samuel, but they're all They're right this whole range for me, Like wide receiver thirty to forty is Terry mcclaurin, Zach Pascal, Darius late In, Sterling Shepherd, all players that have solid matchups, Greg, but you have concerns over their quarterback play or just

in general, you know, like they've been inconsistent. A lot of those players have been in consistent this year, so it's a tougher spot. But check out my rankings to Express dot com if if you're stuck in a pickle here, Greg Ding, Indeed, Ding, Indeed, Frankie, Okay, we're just going minutes. I want to get to you again as many games as possibly get a couple of yesterday so we can get to your game today. We probably did yesterday Denver and k C. E Y. This is a big spot

because it's Drew Lock against his ex girlfriend. Talk that earlier in the week. Man it is Lamar Clark Hunt's daughter, Gracie Haunt is Drelock's ex girlfriend. Roll that extra motivation due for Drew Luck nothing, but I mean he is playing against Kansas City's defense. Um. I think I was reading a thing the other day that that they blit a lot um and that's just I think because they're just trying to put pressure on the quarterback. So it will be interesting to see how Drew Lock does here.

He has looked pretty decent or he comes into the gate pretty decent, kind of falls away as the game goes. But but his UH is really interesting. I like Sutton here, um, I like Philip Lindsay and Noah Fan. Um. If you're looking for a tight end, I feel like this could be the week that you can really trust him. Yeah. We saw a big game out of Noah fan last week. Just have to make sure he's healthy. Greg. If you can look up what the latest is on Noah Fant, that would help us out. It is a good matchup

for him. The six most fantasy points too tight ends this year, that is what the Chiefs are allowing. I like Courtland Sutton as e I mentioned, Philip Lindsay should be able to get going here in this spot. All the Chiefs have allowed the second most fantasy points to running backs so far this season. On the other side, I don't want to get involved with the Kansas City Chiefs running backs. They haven't been able to run the football effectively. There's three running backs in the mix here.

I don't think that Damian Williams is going to play in this game. You're using Tyreek Hill, You're using Patrick Mahomes, you're using Travis Kelsey. And man, you'd have to be really desperate, but Sammy Watkins had eight targets last week, trending in the right direction despite being listed as questionable. We're gonna get the two games. It's the Arizona Cardos in Cleveland Browns Rams and them bow the Lincoln Riley Bull. I do like Baker Mayfield a lot this week. He

is my QB nine, Davis Landry inside my top twelve. Please, I know he's burned you all year. Go back to Odell Beckham. All right, there you go. There you have it. Hopefully leibacos list on Monday as a winner and headed to your Fantasy finals for riyy on Frank example, I'm Gray Susman. Do it all get on Monday? We are oh.

What did happen? What did happens? Here's what you miss on the BFx

The Bears at the Packers. Gregg the Green Bay Packers five point favorites, a forty one point total in this game, Greg, I have Aaron Rodgers ranked as my q B twelve on the week. He is at home where he has played better in his career, He's been very inconsistent this year. He's got five games over nineteen Fantasy points this year. The other eight games he has been held under fifteen

Fantasy points. So he's had some big games, but he's really had some clunkers because they've been running the ball more. What say you? Yeah? So for me, if I had another option Ryan Tannehills of the world, have Ryan Tannehills my QB four? What can go wrong? In Week fifteen? I haven't ranked the head of Patrick Mahomes. That seems dangerous. I like to live on the edge here, Greg, clearly do um starting him in the pit league? Boys, I'm the only BFF left. Let's let's get behind this. Too soon?

Too soon? Man? Do come? I do have Baker and Ryan Fitzpatrick. Fitzpatrick ranked ahead of Aaron Rodgers. Um, what do you where? He said? Baker and Ryan's Patrick right acres my QB nine against the Cardinals Fitzpatrick QB eleven, one spot a hit. So I agree with that. Um, I I'm looking at Aaron Rodgers game log into somebody that has not really had Aaron Rodgers this year. I had him in one spot, but It's been very annoying. He has not thrown for three hundred yards in like

six weeks. That's a really long time. Not through three hundred yards if you're Aaron Rodgers. Um previously this year against Chicago that was the opening day georgian yards, one touchdown, and that's like kind of what I expected on a weekly basis for Aaron Rodgers, right about two hundred yards one to do touchdowns. In fact, he hasn't been thrown more. He's thrown more than one touchdown just once in the last six weeks. It was four touchdowns against the Giants,

which doesn't really count. So to me, I don't love Aaron Rodgers. I think the other guys you could choose from Tannehill, Fitzpatrick, Mayfield, I'm much more interested. I have no problem bending Aaron Rodgers. Why do you agree? Are you starting Baker Mayfield at the Cardinals who have allowed the most fantasy points and most passing touchdowns this year? Ryan Fitzpatrick going up against the Giants, even through Kyler Murray. And this makes because I haven't ranked one spot behind

Aaron Rodgers. Kyler Murray going up against Baker Mayfield. Here, we've got the clash of the past two Heisman Trophy winners. Would you use Kyler Murray over Aaron Rodgers this week? Eway, I just want to let you know your shot looks good. I think I would seriously think about it that that offense has kind of got it done and doesn't really matter. They're playing at home, uh indoors. Cleveland. Um hasn't been

the defense. I think a lot of people thought they were going to be, and I think the Baker's gonna be able to move the ball. I've got an interesting decision. I've got Mayfield and went so I'm not sure what to do there, but out of out of Murray and Mayfield, I think I probably probably lean Baker. I think sports grade news update in the NFL the Giants will not have Evan Ingram on the field Sunday, but tonight End is out with that foot injury. The Giants also released

quarterback to Norris Jenkins. Did you just miss? Schuster of the Fensburst Dealers is unlikely to play Sunday night. That was announced late on Thursday. Jamis Winston of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers deep zoom throwing in football on Friday. He's dealing with the broken thumb Colonel's ms each time would not commit to bringing Bank David Johnson in twenty in the NBA. A couple of notes for the Orlando Magic.

Mikola Buchavisch went through shoot around. Is quote hopeful of playing Friday versus Houston, but he will be a game time decision. Marskal Folts went through shoot around on Friday.
