Week 6 Start/Sit, TNF Recap, and Lineup Questions!

You're listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network Fantasy Best Friends Forever. M Do do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do Do? Do do? Dude? Did it do yo? Says the Fantasy Best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Radio Network on the Pursuit Channel alongside Frankie Stample. I am Greg Sussman. What's going on, Buddy Gray? We got one game in the books already for Week six, although I guess you can't really call it a game. It's on the final outcome. Have you

thought about converting from being a Giants fan? Yeah? Thursday Night football not great, not great for not great for the Giants and Eagles back on Thursday Night. We're not here to talk about Thursday night. We're here to talk about the games on Sunday, all right, absolutely, n you're just getting away from it, dude. It was Thursday night, thurs Night football. It's in the past already. So it's in the past. It isn't the past, not it is.

I mean, look, actually you're correct. It was any other game you might want to, might want to talk about a little bit, Probably not because it was Thursday Night football. We are talking Sunday. So let's get to it, all right, um, and all your lineup questions, all your start ship questions, we are going to do it all over the next hour here on the Fantasy Sports Network. So, Frank, the the biggest question that I have is why did you rank Eli Manning number nineteen in your rankings this week?

When I told you not to do that. I thought we were talking about Sunday's games. We alreay talking about some of the games that Eli Manning is in the past. I'm just I'm just Thursday night football. I'm just pointing out as you just you know, I just want to talk about Thursday Night. I bring up Thursday Night. You say no, let's move on to Sunday, and then you start talking about He was just pointing something at in your rankings. I noticed the way to attack the Eagles

is through the air. And apparently the Giants didn't get the memo. What did Gregg tell you? You don't take bads players ran them. The Giants thought that the way to beat the Eagles was you know, three down, three pad, three R checkdowns, which is what they do every single week. Right. Yeah, and for some reason you thought this would be different because the way to beat the Eagles is through the air. The Giants don't care about that. Well they should. It's

not my fault. Stupid of you. I rank players according to you know, the deficiencies of opposing defenses. The deficiency of the Eagles defense is their past defense that Eli Manning and I don't even have them ranked that high, had him rank nineteen too high. You can you can continue to rank players by opposing defenses, or you can rank players based on their own ability, which is poor.

It's normally a combination of both. Okay, if you look at the players that are ranked behind them, Derek Carr, Case Keenum c Jave, bethro those are all bad quarterbacks to not the truth. Me and mitche D Whisky let me getting of the Bears. That's exactly where I wanted to start, and that's why I actually brought up Elio at number nineteen because I wanted to talk about Drabinsky

at number twenty. Last time we saw Mitchell Drubisky and the Bears, they threw six touchdowns in a wamping on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers before thereby, you couldn't ask for a better week going into the bye week on a forward momentum, Jerwisky returns at Miami. Frank On on Thursday's program, you were talking really pretty highly about Miami getting some

defensive players back, uh and looking better. Now. One of the biggest questions that we are kind of unanswered going into this game is Josh Howard and tricoh and and how that split will work out now, Tarika Jordan, Josh Howard, sorry with that former NBA NBA superstar, Yeah, um, trec was unbelievable last time out against Tampa Bay. Jordan Howard was pretty much nonexistent, even in a game where they

were up big from the outset. He has said there's nothing to worry about, but Tariko and owners are like, hey, do I have something here? You're a torre cohen owner. Are you starting him in PPR? He is a flex option outside of PPR. I don't think that I'm starting him. Um. You know, you want to see this split get back to where it was earlier on in the season, where Jordan Howard was getting you know, close to twenty touches

per game. Um, I think that does happen. I think what happened in Week four before the bye was very game plan specific. They knew that the way to attack the Tampa Bay Bucks was through the air, the same way that the Giants should have known that that was the way to beat the Philadelphia Eagles. But I digress. So the Bears um that was their game plan going against the Tampa Bay Bucks. They just wanted to attack them through the air. They threw the ball a ton

in that game. We saw a touchdowns to Allen Robinson, We saw multiple touchdowns to Taylor Gabriel, We saw a touchdown to Trede Burton. We taught Toreco and have by far his best game of the season. It just didn't want to run the football with Jordan Howard because that

wasn't part of the game plan, right. I think coming out of the bye week, we get back to that game plan, and maybe not to the same extent that it was early on in the season, but it's not going to be the way it was in Week four either. So in my opinion, Jordan Howard is a high end, high end, too solid middling RB two this week against the Dolphins defense, while Trekhen is a flex option in PPR.

I'm not going to start him in any format outside of that though, understandably m understandably so, uh, Jordan Howard mid range RV two. And it's interesting because I think that you're still trying to buy running back looking for running back. I think Jordan Howard really a perfect by low opportunity right now because I don't know that the value gets lower. Frank, That's true. Yeah, And we mentioned that after the previous game that they had in Week four,

everyone was freaking out. We were getting a bunch of questions, what do I do with Jordan Howard. I can't start him, I can't cut him, I can't trade him away because his value is as lowest. Those are the fantasy owners that you want to pray on. We mentioned as well earlier on in the week that you know, if you're four and one, or if you're five and oh and you're sitting pretty These are the fantasy owners in your

league that you want to pray on. The guys that are freaking out about Jordan Howard not getting it done, freaking out because Leonard four Nett has them sitting at one and four or Dalvin Cook has them sitting at one and four. These are the moves that you make to buy low on running backs who can potentially have have big workloads later on in the season, but to this point have either been injured or ineffective. And that's

where Jordan Howard comes in on the ineffective side. On the other side of this game, with the Miami Dolphins, Kenny Stills went from somebody everyone was high on in the preseason and in the pre draft process too week one, making all those owners feel really, really smart. You were one of those guys, Frank, but in recent weeks people have jumped off the bandwagon when it comes to Kenny Stills.

Can you start him? I don't want to start anyone on the Miami Dolphins, and ideally I wouldn't want to start Kenyan Drake either, but I realized that anyone with the bye weeks, Well, you know Kenyan Drake is. You know, he was drafted to be an RB two. He was a third or fourth round pick, so some people might have no choice but to get him in the lineup, And ideally I wouldn't want to start him, but with the bye weeks to mark ingram Alvin Kamara and carry

on Johnson, you might not have a choice. I currently have Kenyan Drake starting in one of my leagues, but the Bears have been the number one defense against opposing running back so far this year. We just have to hope that what we saw in Week five in terms of usage with Kenyan Drake and the Miami Dolphins is the way that they'll use him moving forward. And I know some people might be sitting at home saying, well, they only ran him six times, what are you talking about.

He had eleven targets in that game that was tied for a career high. And they've already talked about this week about how they want to continue to get Kenyan Drake a large number of targets. So maybe he's not getting the carries we thought he would, but if he's getting six, seven, eight targets or even more than that then he becomes a viable option, you know in PPR leads as a flex. Ideally, again, I wouldn't want to

start any of these Dolphins players. I will say I think the Dolphins defense, based on how they played and getting healthy, I don't trust Mittell Trobinsky. I think that they are streams this week if you if you need a defense, it's really interesting because the offense. I think

it's hard to do that. It's hard to pull that trigger on Miami despite the health getting clearer and better, because that the Chicago offense much of what we speculated on before the season began, it looks explosive, like it really really really yeah yeah, I think about all the other weeks. Mr Trobinsky has not looked that great, to be honest, so I agree with either has. The offensive line in terms of run blocking hasn't been great. I mean that's why we're talking about Jordan Howard as a

bylow because he hasn't been great. And outside of that one game where admittedly Mitchell Key looked like Brett Farve, he looked amazing. He was gunsling it all over the place on the Bucks defense, I just don't trust that because I don't. I'm not buying into Trabisky being that good. And that's stalk have the fourth most fantasy points among fantasy defenses this year, when I would not have realized

that really interesting. Okay, So there you go. And that coupled with the fact that the I don't trust the Bears defense, that's why I think they're a good stream this week. All right, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna look that up right now. You sold me. I'm in man, I'm okay. So that's with Miami and Chicago next game. We wanted to get into you where I wanted to get into I should say, um, is Cleveland and the

Los Angeles Chargers your team your favorite team? Probably not, but okay, alright, favorite West Coast team for the Chargers. I think it's kind of standard, right with Philip Rivers and Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler's potential flex and and Keenan Allen. Right, is there anything that is right below the surface here that we're missing? No, you know, I have Philip Rivers ranked lower than I normally do. This is just a respect factor for the Cleveland Browns defense.

To this point. They've been great. Their defensive line is extremely strong. Obviously Myles Garrett is anchoring that. But Denzel Award looks, you know, every much as to be you know, a top five pick as he was. You know, he was selected there to be the guy, and he's been that guy to this point for the Cleveland Brown. So their defense all around has been very good. But this is more of a respect ranking for Philip Rivers. I have him just outside of my top twelve, but if

you own him, you're likely starting him. Uh, Keenan Allen, you're starting him as well. Mike Williams. I think you can get away from him. It's been a couple of weeks now since we've seen Mike Williams score a touchdown. We want to see him start to get used more so in the red zone, but that's not happening right now. Melvin Gordon the top five running back. I think it's kind of status quo for the Chargers. Quick question for a friend, would you rather start Seattle against Oakland in

London or Miami against Chicago? Man? Really like Seattle. The London games are always like pitiful gross games. Seattle's defense has been much better at home this year. Obviously, they always play better at home, and you know this is like a neutral site, I guess you can say in the London atmosphere. But the Oakland Raiders offense has not been terrible to this point. They've been getting down the field. There's just not scoring points because you know, they're throwing

the ball on the one yard line. As if you know, teams with Marshall Lynch haven't learned from that in the past. I e. The Seattle Seahawks. So I still think that the Raider's offense could be formidable here. I'm just not really buying into the Bears, to be honest. All right, Okay, he'll do it. When the Seahawks have two pick sixes, You're gonna kill I am going to You're The text messages that you are going to receive are going to be deadly. I'm telling you right now. Sorry, I made

I've officially made the move. There we go and done. Okay. On the other side, the Cleveland Browns, Baker Mayfield continues his march for this Cleveland Browns team. Carlos Hide in his normal spot, Jervis Landry in his normal spot. Are you starting David and Joker this week? Are you starting Antonio Calawela Man. I think David and Joke is a borderline tighten one just based on his usuits, his targets, and again, a lot of us don't play in yards

per target leagues. It's time for him to put up or shut up in terms of fantasy production with David and Joku. But he's had at least seven targets in four out of five games, and he's coming off a game where he just had eleven targets with Baker Mayfield as his quarterback, something that we've referenced all week. Greg Richard Higgins is out for the next couple of weeks for the Cleveland Browns. He likes to work those intermediate routes.

He's more of the possession receiver for Baker Mayfield, so David and Jogu can take on that role, or at least we're hoping him to do so. He sneaks right inside my top twelve in terms of tight ends. Jarvis Landry another guy. He's getting a ton of targets and we like that usage. He's among the league leaders in terms of targets share this year. Greg, but he hasn't really done much with those, so we want to see

Jarvis Landry be more effective in this game. He's still a you know, mid range wide receiver to where he's been all season long. Um, But you know, the Chargers defense a secondary that we expected to be better than it has been to this point this year, Greg, in five games they have allowed multiple touchdowns. In three of five games. They've actually allowed monster games too. Obviously, Week one against Patrick Mahomes the four passing touchdowns. In Week

three against Jared Goff they allowed three passing touchdowns. Granted, those are two of the best offenses in the entire NFL. I think Baker Mayfield just kind of slides in here as a q B two as well. If you're playing a super flex league, I think he's viable. But I wouldn't be surprised if this game, with the Chargers traveling from west coast to east is lower scoring something like a seventeen fourteen, maybe like a seventeen. I don't know that we get a lot of points scored in this game, Gregg,

All right, so there you go. So maybe one of these two teams could be a streaming defense as well. The Browns are a starting defense weekend, week out, regardless of matchup. We can weak out, maybe not against the Chiefs. Alright, I'm gonna go. We're looking at that. I'm even seven times during the show to that here on a Fantasy Sports Cleveland available, would rather Cleveland in Miami? Say Cleveland?

I just I'm buying into the town there. How many times you're gonna change your defense every every time we talk about a game. So Cleveland faces the Chargers this week. Listen to this run though, here's my issue. Tampa Bay next week for Cleveland, then Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh, then Casey, then Casey at home, Okay, then Atlanta. Just keep the You know, the Dolphins and the Browns of the same number of Fantasy points is here they're tied for fourth.

They've both been great, So we'll go on. Then Mikey, we'll go to go with Miami. Where's that you have that defense? What you said the points per game? How in Arizona? Where are they at Arizona? Is they're slightly behind the Browns and the Dolphins. They are eight in fantasy points? Is here they're only six actually six fantasy points behind because they're awesome. There's rounding into form this week. The Arizona Cardinals face the Minnesota Vikings, a very tough

task for that defense. Adam Feeling a you know, top receiver in this league. Stefon Diggs doing his thing always, But the question becomes, what did do with Dalvin Cook? Looks like Dalvin Cook is going to play in this one? Did you start him? Frank And you said earlier this week, I'd love a see me game, a show me game. Will you take that opportunity or do you throw them

back in the lineup? Yeah, I think it's gonna be hard to get away from Dalvin Cook Cook this year, especially where he was drafted right that late first early second round value on Dalvin Cook. I have him ranked right now as my RB nineteen, so he is an RB two just really based on this matchup, even if he doesn't get the full compliment of snaps in this game or usage that he normally would get going up against. See Arizona Carls. They've allowed the most fantasy points to

opposing running backs this season. They've allowed nine total touchdowns through five games, six hundred and sixty rushing yards. Obviously, the Vikings are favored by ten and a half points in this game, so if they're playing with the lead. We could see some more Dalvin Cook in this matchup. I think if you own Dalvin Cook, you probably can't

get away from him. Some guys that have ranked just ahead Chris Carson, Alfred Morris, Tevin Coleman, that's assuming DeVonta Freeman is out, and then and Howard Carlos Hide, Marshall Lynch. So if you have one of those guys, you start them ahead of Dalvin Cook. But unless you don't, and you don't have one of those elite running backs, you're probably starting Dalvin Cook. I tend to agree the what Dalvin Cook can bring you potentially is going to far

outweigh anything else that you're probably starting. And as we saw that Joe Mixon, and it's a little bit different because it's a hamstring, it's a muscle strain rather than that meniscus tear. That that surgery that Joe Mixon had, Joe Mixon came back and played forty seven snaps, a career high on the offensive side of the ball. I don't think Dalvin Cook has a career highest snaps. I think Minnesota, given that he has previously re injured himself

with the same injury. I think they're more cautious. But if I have Dalvin Cook, I'm most likely starting Dalvin Cook. It's clear now. And they pulled him in the second half of that Rams game because he was injured, right. It wasn't like, oh, we had snaps, this is why we sat him. No, he got hurt. I think what we saw in that first half, which was a lot of Dalvin Cook. If they think he can handle it, they're going to give him the ball. So I'm more comfortable.

I thought I wouldn't be starting it on the other side for Arizona Hope. David Johnson scores. Are you're starting? You're not starting fish Gerald? He said, did you start? Christian Kurt did the Seals. I don't want to start anyone outside of David Johnson. Even David Johnson. I'm a little bit worried about in this match up, especially if they fall behind.

starting and sit him questions in Green Bay. It looks like m v asked for one more week, potentially longer. I mean, you never know what happens at least, especially if he performs once again. You know, it could be one of those things where if he develops us for a poort with Aaron Rodgers over, you know, these two weeks, this two week span, that maybe Aaron Rodgers wizards over to MacCarthy like, hey, I want Marcus Valdis Scantley to stay in the starting lineup. You just don't know that

could happen. But assuming that Randall Cobb and Geronimo Allison don't go, Marcat Marquez Valdes Scantley has to be viewed as a you know, high end wide receiver three at least just because who else is they gonna throw the ball to. Obviously Davante Adams, Jimmy Graham. But we just saw last week that the Hackers cannot run the football right now. They haven't been that all that effective at

doing so. I know that they fell behind in that game, but there's still a past first offense, and when they are passing, obviously it's you know, whoever that number two wide receiver is on the field starting is going to have wide receiver at least wide receiver three fantasy upside, So that's exactly where MVS will slot in this week. Greggy, I can't wait. And the s I don't know what you know, three pointing thing you're gonna do At times it's fun. It is You're you're so against this guy before.

Why you hated the name, you hated everything I was doing, Marcus valvea scamera, you hated it last week it was like MVS. I'm trying to make it a thing. No, I didn't do that. I was I fully supported Monday Night Football. Drop Van Dan Fan Monday Night Football. That one should be fun. But perhaps the most fun game here on Sunday is Calvin Ridley the Falcons against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. High scoring affair. The over under is like sixty at this point. Uh, it's gonna be awesome.

Jameis Winson's first start of the year, which I'm really really excited to see Frank who he targets, how he looks, if he can hold over everything he did in the preseason and push it to the regular season and see if his offenses as fun as it was with Ryan Fitzpatrick underset in the first two weeks. And it wasn't just the preseason. It was last year too, during the month of December where Jameis Winston really you know, took off.

You know, in the eleven games that he started and finished last year, Greg, if you pro rate those over a sixteen game span, Jameis Winson was on piece for forty passing yards last season, and that looked a lot like what Ryan Fitzpatrick was doing earlier on this season. Obviously, what he needs to do is limit the turnovers. But he has enough talent around him where he basically shouldn't

be able to fail. This is what I said about Patrick Mahomes coming into this season is I just don't see how he could fail based on the weapons that they have, and it was, you know, he has Kelsey, is Harry Killey, is Sammy Watkins. Look at what the Bucks have. I mean, they're comparable. They have Mike Evans, they have Christ, they have t Shaun Jackson, they have a burner, they have some everything that you want in

terms of a facet of a passing game. They have a burner, they have a big body in Mike Evans, they have a possession, a strong route runner receiver Interest Godwin. They have two strong tight ends in O. J. Howard and Cameron break So I just don't see how Jameis Winston fails, especially in this matchup against the Falcons, who have allowed three passing touchdowns exactly three passing touchdowns in four straight games. That's twelve touchdowns. I think we keep

the street going with Jameis Winston against the Falcons. Greg alright, so that that should be exciting. Austin Hooper, who I know many people are high on this week. He looks to follow up of what he did last week. We'll see if he can. Of course, Austin Hooper one of the many tight ends in the league that are very up and down, up down and up and down. We get up, we get down. Does Julio Jones getting the end zone for the first time this season this week?

Do you remember that last monster game that Julio Jones had where it was like fifty points, where he went off yards and touchdowns. That was Week fifteen last season. Yes, I had him, Yes, it was exciting, Yes, and I

propelled me to get to the finals. That was against Tampa Bay Bucks, I believe, But he has had monster games against the tam Bay Bucks, like the last few times that he's faced them, he has he has the potential to have these monster games obviously, so I think this is a game where we actually see him score a touchdown, maybe one, maybe too. Hopefully we can get one of those big monster games out of him. Again, I'm sorry, I knew they played Tampa Bay in Week fifteen.

He only had three fifty four. It was Week twelve where he faced Tampa Bay and had that. He faced Tampa Bay both games, So the Week fifteen was at Tampa Bay, the Week twelve was at home, and that was the twelve and fifty three three and two. So that's what you're hoping to get here, And based on what we saw to the Bears offense against the Bucks defense before the bye in Week four, I think there's

a pretty good chance that that happens again. So obviously you're starting Julio Jones regardless of matchup, but this could be be a monster who Leo Day, maybe even one that you want to get him in your DFS Linus because he does have that monster upside. But speaking of upside for the Falcons passing attack, obviously that means we like Matt Ryan, which in turn means that we like

both Calvin Ridley and Mohammed Sanu. You know that Snow's targets have really stepped up and they've kind of hit a plateau here, but they've been more consistent than Calvin Ridley's. He has at least seven targets in each of the past three games. So I'm looking at Mohammed Sanu as a solid wide receiver three. I think Calvin Ridley's upside is a little bit higher, but ideally you want to get all three of these guys in yours. I think so too. Mohammed Sanu has been obviously a thing this week,

um and I get it. And it's funny because it's you're at that point in the season where Mohammed Sanu always becomes the thing we're getting the buyers and you're just looking for solidarity at the flex position, and that's Mohammed Sanno is. You know what you're getting and there's nothing wrong with that, and you have a shot of the touchdown. He's on the field a lot. And even though Calvin Ridley is certainly on the rise and he

will be the number two wide receiver. Before this is all sun and done, you can rely on Mohmed ssanew right now. And there's no better matchup potentially than this than this one against the tamp Big Buccaneers. The Bucks are allowing these second most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, and as I've referenced throughout the week, Mohamed Sanu has at least thirteen Fantasy points and half point PPR leagues

in three in the past three weeks. So I'm looking at him to continue getting at least seven targets and if that happens, you'll convert them against this porous Bucks secondary. Greg eight four four eight four or three six eight seven nine. We're taking your calls as always here on our lineup literally line up, lineup Decision program. Yeah, we're looking who to start, who to sit, and the decisions that you have to make. We continue on going game

by game, calling out the things that are important. And I want to move on, Frankie and I want to get to this game between Houston and Buffalo. It's ugly. I realized that Lamar Miller, who sucks, says he's going to be back here this in this one. Are you starting Lamar Miller. No, and it's because he sucks, and it's because, you know, the Bill's defense has actually been

pretty good the past few weeks. I know that. You know last year and at the start of this year, we wanted to pick on the Bills defense, especially specifically their rushing defense. But you look at what they did last week against the Titans, twenty three rushing attempts for ninety yards. The week before that they did allow the touchdown to Aaron Jones, and the week before that four

carries for twelve yards against the Vikings. We know that that was a game where the Vikings were playing catch up, but credits to this Bill's defense. They've played a lot better over the past few weeks when they were really the laughing stock early on in the season. So I don't want to use Lamar Miller. The Texans can't run blocked for him. They haven't been able to run block

for anybody. And it's tough to say because normally, any time you find a running back who's gonna give you fifteen plus touches, there at least what an RB two, I would say Lamar Miller is more so when the flex discussion, he hasn't done much in the passing game. Alfred Blue had that role last week and actually can heard a lot of those targets into Fantasy production. But I don't have a lot of faith in Lamar Miller, Gregg and wait that we say about it, our friends

a pursuit. Thank you so much for watching us here on the Fantasy Best Friends Forever. We'll do it all again next week, we hope. Frankie the wide receivers for Houston kick Cutie. I'm hearing his name is Nowholt. Yeah, the Cutie kick Will Fuller both out there. Will Fuller, I kind of like this week. By the way, I'm kind of in on Will Fuller to find the end zone again. Yeah, I'm kind of in on Will Fuller and Kiki as well. What are you doing? What are

you just doing? Are you humming something? They're not. We do not support Drake on this program. We only support the Drake Kenyan Drake. Do we support him? We don't support any Drakes. But Kiki, Coute and Will look like they're you know, they're actually the ones that you do want to target in this match if you want to use anybody. I don't think this is a very high scoring affair. But DeAndre Hopkins should be shadowed by Tradavious White, which means on the other side we should have Will

Fuller able to eat as well as Kiki Kota. If there's anywhere that the Bills have struggled this year, it is against slot receivers. And again I mentioned the Texans can't run the football. They're using Kiki Kota on a lot of short passes close to the line of scrimmage as an extension of the run game. So I think, especially in PPR, he's definitely a wide receiver three. Will Fuller Um, assuming that he can stay healthy. He doesn't leave at any point in this game because of hamstring issues.

I think he's right on that cusp of a low end wide receivers two high and wide receiver three. Okay, I mean I'm actually completely in on that. On the other side of Buffalo, you're starting anybody. Sam McCoy is a flex option. He actually is coming off his best game of the year where he saw a ton of usage over twenty touches, you know, actually looked solid close to a hundred total yards. He hasn't gotten in the

end zone. I don't know if that happens in this game either, but he's a flex option, just hopefully based on usage. This is a very high spread in this game, so obviously the oddsmakers expect the Texans too kind of trounced the Bills in this one. But I don't know that I expect that. I think the Bill is covered in this game. I think it's close to them. People realize it's just a low scoring officin of their defense.

Probably not, okay, I like the other ones that we've mentioned so far, All right, fair enough, Just I'm just wondering in there in that Rams game, do we think Cooper Cup Brandon Cooks play. It looks like they're trending towards that being a yes. Now, I know that we had a weather alert last night about regarding this game, saying that there's now like two or three inches of snow. So will that be enough to slow down the Rams offense?

Probably not. I think we see all three wide receivers in this game, and again they'll all check in as you know, top fifteen, top twenty wide receivers. Um, they're all wide receiver two's. I think if you own them, you play all of them. You play Jared Goff. He is, I believe my seventh ranth quarterback this week, So I'm not all that worried about the Broncos, my eighth ranked quarterback. The Broncos defense, which we just saw Sam Donald and the Jets of all teams, you know, really target them

down the field with long passing players. If there's any team that can do that, it's Los Angeles Rams, Jared Goff, Sean McVeigh and then Boys the Boys. Probably not the greatest show on turf. It's not the greatest show on turf anymore. What is it? It's the greatest show on surf A thing? Yeah, Jared Goff. I mean, if there's any one quarterback that like encompasses like surfer dude, probably Jared Goff. I think he kind of like took that torch from Jake Cutler. I think Jake Cutler looked very

like surfer guy, even even though he's like, what's Vanderbilt? Like, Yeah, I know, I understand, but like, didn't he just kind of like have that look? Of course, five SIGs at once, Yeah, that's just Pat Manner's avatar. Yes, um, when when it comes should be Jared God like he went to cal now plays in l A. He encompasses the West Coast. He's the dude, the greatest show on surf. All right, he starts talk girly this week, Greg, I will be starting talking about this week. Yeah yeah, but what about

in Denver? In all seriousness, where all right? You have Manuel Sandra Jo, Damarius Thomas, Manuel Sanders probably low and wide receivers to Jamarus Thomas high and wide receiver. Three. Yes, yeah, I'm pretty bullish on Damarius Thomas, just because I'm bullish on both, just because the Rams defense has not looked the same since they lost a keep to leave, specifically their past defense. The Rams are allowing a decent amount of fantasy points to opposing wide receivers over the last

two weeks. They're allowing the most fantasy points over the past two weeks four hundred and seventy five yards, Greg in six touchdowns to opposing wide receivers. We see this weekend and week out. I mean, as long as he's been in the NFL. Marcus Peters is a cornerback who is very feast or famine. He likes to take chances. He likes to undercut routes. What happens when he does that. He gets burned on double moves. We see. We saw it in the red zone last week. He came up,

he tried to undercut a pass. He just threw over the top of Marcus Peters. So yep, there could be production from the wide receiver position for the Broncos. Everyone wants to talk about Damarius Thomas as they sell high because of his garbage time production against the Jets last week. I think we get another solid game out of Damerius this week against the Rams. It's after this game that you're gonna want to sell high onto Marius Thomas. I

still think he's serviceable on this matchup. Okay, So if you have to choose one between Roy Spreeman and Phil Lindsay, which one would you start this week? It would be Phil Lindsay. Um. I I will admit that if there's snow on the ground, um, we could see more out of both of them running the football. But overall, I think they're probably trailing in this game, and I think that lends itself more so to Philip Lindsay, who he's

a little more scatbacky um seems to be. I don't I don't know, he's a better receiver than roy S Freeman. But if they're playing hurry up, if they're playing catch up, it seems like he would be the guy that's more so on the field. Like a lot of running back by committees in the NFL right now, it's very dependent on game flow, and I think if they were trailing in this game, the game flow lends itself more so

to Philip Lindsay. And in games where it's closer and they maybe want to keep the opposing quarterback off the field, and maybe even games where they're leading, that's gonna lend itself to Royce Freeman. But if I had to choose one, it would be Lindsay. It makes sense. It's a game that we expect them to be behind, um pretty significantly. The Broncos are seven point dogs at home in this matchup. Yeah,

and now, well the snow slow them down. I think that's a question that everyone's gonna be asking, and I'm gonna say this, when it comes to precipitation, I don't care about snow. I don't care about rain. We care about wind. That is the most important thing that affects these players. And two to three inches of snow, it'll be cold it'll be annoying. There's not much wind. The game total still hovering in the fifties. If you want

a half, I'm not worried yet. Don't bet against the Rams offense until you actually see them put up a clunker, which they haven't done, to be honest. And we saw the creativity out of Sean McVeigh greg after that Thursday night game when we came in, you know, that awesome, awesome game between the Rams and the Vikings. We were talking about how he can use any of their receivers in any fashion, and a lot of that included, you know, uh, passes close to the line of scrimmage. Uh, you know,

a lot of screen passes. So if they if that's what they need to do, that's what they're gonna be able to do, and I'm sure they'll be able to make it work. Okay, So there you go, um with the little Los Angeles Rams in Denver and how that will react given the precipitation that we expect in the Mile High City on Sunday A four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Frankie Staff, the New York Jets, my j E T S Jets, Jets Jets, the best

team in New York, Greg Susman, Is that necessary? Which if you ever want to, you know, come hop on, feel free? Is that necessary? Is anything we do necessary? Screwed it up again? I gave you every opportunity. Screwed it up again? What I'm supposed to say necessary? Necessary? Is it necessary to drink my own urine? Probably not, but it's sterile and I like to taste. Uh. If people don't understand that reference, they're probably just gonna think

that you're a really weird dude. If they don't understand the wet reference, I don't want to be friends with them. Yeah, he's probably go watch a movie Dodgeball because it's great great flick Jets and the Colts Jets are at home. Isaiah Corroll's availability is still a question mark here. If he doesn't go got a little balla Powell I would think, yeah, blaw Powell would instantly step up into a you know, top twenty four running back and r B two roll

for this week. Apparently Kroa was quote spotted with his helmet at Friday's practice, so this could be one of tho things where he doesn't practice who week, but he still plays. I think that's honestly what happens because you think he does play and he doesn't. All right, I'll look more with the Jets and the Cold I don't give my thoughts in Giants as well. Stick around.

They're not.

At least we have a quarterback. Umlie what we think to be a quarterback? Would you like to reveal what we're talking about? Gregorious Yankee shortstop. We'll have Tommy John surgery on his right throwing elbow. He heard it in Boston, played two games through it. Let's let's definitely the Yank. You should definitely start a player that John surgery in the playoffs. Um, I mean, I don't. I don't kill him for that. Yeah. An budd is optimistic Grigorious will

play most of the season. Labor Tores could be the shortstop to start the year. Oh nice, little Glamor Torres and Neal Walker up the middle, that's not a thing. So yeah, rough times for Greggy. Oh god, no, dude, I'm not tell them giants. You don't want to do that either. Daily roder dot com is trying to produce another winner.

I was just saying, UM, I'm happy to choose from all flex between Uh, I don't know. Dalvin Cook had a full practice this past day, and I have to choose from John Brown. Um. I was seeing what you guys stopped on that and then was saying if you guys could also give me an take gestions if I should anything to improve my line. It's between John Brown and

Dalvin Cook. Yeah, right, first question, yes, and this is full PPR. Well PPR, it's my flex spot. Yeah. I'm going to continue to ride with John Brown. I have him ranked as you know, like my wide receiver fifteen or sixteen, so right in that mid range wide receiver to UM, if you didn't have another option, I would say I would want to use Dalvin Cook. But because you have John Brown and his PPR, I'll go with him. Philip Greg might disagree. I am gonna just you your daughter,

sing if we can back her away from the phone. UM, Dalvin Cook is my pick for this one. And I said that to you if if, if Dalvin Cook is gonna play, I was gonna have to start him. I had the same question yesterday, UM, and I feel the same way. I would start down Cook. I understand why you're starting John Brown with the target share, UM and how good he has been, But Dalvin Cook has a but he's out there. I think you have to start him.

I'm sorry, I gotta go down Cook here. I know it doesn't help you because we're split West, but ultimately, what's your second question? Okay West? I ended up picking up Jamis Winston. Um. I know they said never say said Rogers, But I like the match up against Atlanta. What are you guys thoughts on that. You may like the line of the match up against Atlanta, but you should also like the match up against San Francisco on

Monday night football. You should start Iron Rodgers have him back to back with my rankings, but Aaron Rodgers is ahead of Jamis Winston. So I look, I if I own both of those players. I understand your trepidation here, and you know you're questioning of wanting to use Winston over Aaron Rodgers. I would still use Rodgers, but I get it. You gotta use Aaron Rodgers man eight four four eight four three six seven nine. Let's head out to Long Island and talk to Tom. What's up Tom? Yeah, Hi, guys,

great show. I love it. Thanks Tom. Okay, here we go quarterbacks, Um Dalton home against Pittsburgh or our Cousins home against Arizona. I think the Arizona even is more than like the Pittsburgh defense, and so I think this is actually very close. They really like Andy Dalton this week, but Kirk Cousins has been on a role for fantasy purposes. So I like Kirk Cousins. Well, another guy that we're not gonna be able to help because we're split here.

I'm gonna use Andy Dalton. There's I have Andy Dalton's my QB six. I have Kirk Cousins as my QB nine. I just think that there's a chance that the Vikings get up in this matchup and then they just kind of like sit on the ball. I think we could see more points scored in that Bengals and Steelers game over under? Is that like fifty three and the Steelers secondary hasn't been great overall, so I will take Andy Dalton. Okay, thanks guys, Yeah you got it man. We appreciate the call.

Eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine up Julian in Miami. What's up, Julian? And what's up? Guys? How you guys doing great? Deal? What's up? All right? I gotta trade? Want to get your input? Oh, I give away oh Dell Beckham and Geordan Read for zach Ertz and Sony Michelle m we're your current running backs and wide receivers. UM wide receivers is stealing Odell Juju, Alison te Y and I pick up m b s because of you guys. Running backs is Barkley, Aaron Jones,

Coleman and Drake and Embroi Streeman. I'm making this trade. Yeah, I'm then I'm making this trade. You get a huge upgrade at the tight end position from Jordan Reads, zach Ertz unquestioned top three tight end to this point and rest of season, and zach Erz and Sony Michelle. You get a borderline RB one assuming that he's healthy. I know he's been limited at practice this week, but you know,

even without Odell Beckham. Your wide receivers look pretty good with stealing Juju t Y Hilton and then the combination of Allison and mbs. You know, assuming which one of those receivers are healthy on a given week. So I think you're fine it receiver and you get an RB two. I like it a lot. I agree. Thank you, Thank you for picking up my calls every week. Good luck this week, man, appreciate it. Let's go out to Nathan in New Jersey. What's up? Nathan? Hey, what's up? Guys?

How are you doing? Good afternoon? Good afternoon was up? So I got two teams, but my three two team. I have a trade off for someone to me and but I don't want to. I didn't, I didn't accept you. So I just want to get your info on it. Um. Someone sent me John Brown James Corner for Adam Feeling. I'm not I don't think I should do that, right dog, you're giving up Adam Feeling? Yeah, So I'm getting John Brown,

James connerdom teeming over dogs. And then and then my other question is really quick, uh from my my five and over team I have, I'm I'm just wondering if I should start pal On in the flex or uh uh, let's look, what's the Robert Woods. You should start Robert Woods. Use Robert Woods, regardless of format and regardless of Isaiah Crowell plays or not. You're just you're gonna use Robert Woods. Okay, thank you? Yeah you got it there. You got a four four eight four three six eight seven. We'll get

to our betting picks in a little bit. How do we do last week? Frank? I I went to In one. I don't know what you did. Why don't you remember what I do? Because you say that you write this down. I write me every single week. No I, I tell you, tell me every week I write this down. Or you were in charge of writing this down at some point. No, so I write down the records every week. I don't write down with the picks I went to in one.

I don't know what you did. So I know I had Oakland that I feel like you might have been bad week. Yeah, I hope so, because I need to catch up to you. It's not very nice, Frank. Uh competitive nature here? What are we doing? Right? We're not competing against each other. We are vacompeting against each other. Um let's see here. So I know I took Oakland

last week. That worked out. Really, what's happening here? Uh gosh, I don't know what's happening, but if someone is still connected on the line, someone downstairs, let's let's get that come on hand. Let's let's let's let's pay attention here. All right? Um, I think Oakland, which was which was terrible? Oh really? Oh you bet against my chargers. How did that work out for you? Poorly? Yeah? Yeah, I did that. I start to recognize my chargers, recognize who else did

I take? Again? Frank, I don't know. I don't even remember why I had, but I know I went two and one seems to be gonna roll back the tape. It seems to be going poorly. Um. I also had the Jaguars, so that's definitely the one I got wrong. I liked Atlanta, that was wrong. That's too. And I had the Jaguars. I had the vikings and they covered had the vikings. It was me bag three. I had the vikings, I had the I had the Lions had

the vikings. I think I had the Yeah, I know, I went to in one, all right, so I went own three? So yeah, what are we up to? Now alright, so I'm doing it right now to one oh and three. Uh, I have six wins and six losses. Not so good? Yeah, you have want to two and one? You have five wins and seven losses. That doesn't make sense. It's clearly

something going on here. Why haven't been profitable in the season? Greg, if my if my best bets are wrong, Huh, I don't know, Zillet, because you're cheating, that's what That's what you're doing. I don't know who goes first? Mere you we was. I was gonna wait another two minutes there. Anything else starts sit wise line of lock wise that you want to tell people, Uh, it's probably just reference my top five of the players I'm higher on than

other people. We didn't mention Tyler Locket at all. He is. He sneaks inside my top twenty four the wide receiver position. He's been incredibly consistent this year, and he gets no respect. Greggy is it guy who respect has at least fifty three yards in every game and has a touchdown in four out of five games and now faces a Raiders secondary which is not very good. So I'm pretty high on Tyler Lockett this week. And then Sammy Watkins. I just think you want as much exposure to this Chiefs

and Patriots game as you can possibly get. Uh. And people might not realize this, but over the last three games that both Sammy Watkins and Tyreek Hill have started and finished together, Sammy Watkins has out targeted Tyreek Hill three to eighteen. There there's a lot of points scored in that game. Again, the over under is that sixty. Um. Sammy Watkins is a top twenty wide receiver for me this week, which is very high. It might be the highest set of anybody on Sammy Watkins doing. And I

like him. I like him in DFS this week. UM's about it. Those are Those are two guys that we didn't really get to over the past couple of days, but I'm I'm pretty high on those. I think it's Jimmy Watkins and Tyler Locket. If you have more questions, you could obviously tweet at us at Greg san at roto underscore Frankle Oh. We're always around there and we appreciate all of your comments and all of your help. And with that we signed up on YouTube the Fantasy

Football Frenzies. Up next, Chris Venture is off today, which leaves Corey Parson, who has three hundred and sixty four days until his birthday, and Jim Day to answer your questions and take your telephone calls for us. You can subscribe to the podcast, you can like us, um rate us, and of course leave a comment before we get in our picks. Um gonna let me just opine a bit about the Giants. Oh yeah, Greig's monologue here. Okay, shut my mic off, are you he did? Okay? Here's my

issue with the New York Football Giants. They're incompetent. It's they're they're incompetent. You see, when you make the same mistake over and over and over. He figured out how to change the camera. That was great speaking nothing. Um okay, So you make the same mistake over and over, It's it's called insanity, right like, that's that's what we're calling and the Giants and he's every excuse in the book.

They did not want a playoff game. In six years, they have won a playoff game three times in three years. In the last twenty five years, twenty five they have not had a winning record. This at this point in the season. The two thousand and twelve what are we doing? What are we doing? You could keep making excuses for the quarterback. That's fine. You could fire head coaches, you

could bring all these weapons. But the more and more we sit at a quarterback in his dying years and be like, yes, he's still the answer, we are wasting time. It's play calling shore. There's no doubt about that. In three and fifteen. To throw a screen past every time, it's not gonna help you playing in the defense's hands. I get it when you have a guy that has been hit so many times that he's scared of just letting it go. What are we doing? What are we doing?

The end is here? For Eli Madding, there's no reason that this man should start another game this season. It's the last week where it's a send off for him. That's it, no more, there's no point, non zero. Start oh young quarterback at Kyle Loletta and see if you have anything in him, and if he stinks, get rid of him too and start a new next year. What are we doing? It's not about the past, it's about the future. Good teams understand that. That's why the Patriots

have gotten rid of everybody. They don't wait until the dying years. If someone those perform at a level, they get rid of him. They try doing it with Grunk six months ago. What are we doing? That's how he feels a giant fan Frank now he needs to bring back do you know? He said it sweet out during the show, saying, Oh, I guess Mac wasn't so wrong after all, was you? He douysn't apologize to him and

every beat reporters like, you're an idiot. Let's get to the pit to set the music, Pavona, let's rock Dan Company. Who's up? I've been here up at this time? Am I all right? M Greg's favorite song, my first pick. And these are all things that I've wagered on because obviously I was in New Jersey last night, which was an absolute disaster. Greg, Why would you let me do that? One of the worst decisions I've ever made in my life. I was in Jersey as well. It's very easy for man.

He went to the game, right. Sorry. I didn't go to the game, right. I was right outside the stadium. I went to the sports book. I didn't get home until ten thirty. I didn't even go to the game. Sorry. I should have been smarter than that. You should have you should have talked me out of that. Um. Anyway, I got Kansa City last night at plus three and a half. I really like it with the hook there.

I'm just not betting against Patrick Mahomes. I want some kind of action on this game, whether it's the over at sixty points, which I know is crazy, but why would you bet an under against Patrick Mahomes right now? And the Chiefs. So I'm gonna take Kansas City, especially you can get the hook at plus three and a half because that's what I got it at. And then I will also take Carolina Panthers, who are underdogs heading into Washington. Carolina plus two points just don't have a

lot of faith in Washington right now. All their skill position players are banged up. Chris Thompson, Adrian Peterson to Paul Richardson to Jamison Crowder. I think Caroline Panthers is just a better all around team right now. I think they win that game outright. And then the final one that I will take the Bills. No one circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills, Greggy. I just think there's a lot of points in this game. Bills are the Texans are the Dolphins. I cannot believe now, of course

I'm not. Uh. The Texans are favored by ten and I just don't really understand why. So for me, I'll start off. I was taking Buffalo as well. I love Buffalo plus TENN and it's a lot. I think it's a lot of points, So I will take Buffalo. We can't have the same pitch, can't. We can't. We just did you can't we were just made it. I'll take Buffalo. I'm gonna take Sincinnati, and what's a pick? Him against

Pittsburgh and I like Cincinnati in this one. Uh. And then from my lad pick I'm going against stupid Jamis give me Atlanta at home against the Buccaneers. That's three point favorites the stupid. The Frenzies up next for Franks Stample. My name is Grexel's and thank you so much for watching and listening to Fantasy best Friends forever. We'll do it all, get on Monday and look this weekend. We hope
