listening to the Fantasy Sports Radio Network. Fantasy best Friends Forever. M Do to to Do? Did to do? Do? Do Do Do Do? Do? Don too? Yeah? Oh, this is the Fantasy best Friends Forever here on the Fantasy Sports Right Network. Onside Franky Snaville, I am Greg, so I was gonna thank you so much for joining us. If you're watching live on you Super of course on the Pursuit Network. We appreciate you checking us in and always listening on our podcasts and on the radio. What's going on?

Reggae Reggy, It's crazy, it's already week seven. Every single year we say the same thing. It just feels like the NFL season is flying by. Does it started yesterday? We're almost at the halfway point. Ready basically through the halfway point of the regular season. Crazy purposes. Absolutely, it's it's unbelievable. Week seven, uh is upon us here and you know it's great. The year he was probably get old, man. This this is how we get old. That's how you

get old. You what do you You don't think you age? I proved that last week when I went out to play some some two hand touched football. I was banged up for like the next three days. Yeah, they're getting gray in that beard? Is that? Is that? What it? No? I don't think so. I mean you could come inspect it if you'd like. I'm good. I don't think. I don't think I have any great anywhere yet. Do you see anything? Yeah? I don't. I honestly have a lot

of red hairs. Might be really like Floria. I apparently have a lot of Irish in me. Interesting. I don't know my fa My whole family did the twenty three and me thing except for me, And we found out that because I don't want to waste money on that. Um, we found out that we're not Italian. Our whole lives. We thought we were like a Coda Italiana, no Italian anywhere.

Lots of Irish, lots of German, lots of like European random stuff like Slovakian, um, Hungarian, but yeah, a lot of a lot of German, Irish, no Italian, though still love Italian food. I'm gonna continue posta. I'm gonna we're going over our lunches today. And Frank's like, I was, like, I've written this suspinage salad with spinach and chicken and tomatoes and pepper, way too much green, way too much.

It's very green, and Frank's like the chicken part. And Frank's like, in I have a vague sitient saucage and like, h I canna be sneaking around at are trying to steal my food? I might, you might go to the bathroom and it's all gone. All right on the show tonight, A lot to get to you. When it comes to week seven, what I end look kind of like we did last week. Frankie going by the game by game and the kind of stuff that really interested us, and I think that's the best way to cover the most.

There's so many games and there's only so little time to get to it. So let's begin um with New Orleans because New Orleans is an underdog in Baltimore this week, the two and a half point dogs, and they're without Ted Gain, who's placed on the I r um a couple of days ago. So Gain is on I r which means tray Kuan Smith is now the starter if he's out there. How important is it to grab tray

Kuan Smith. I don't know that he ranks higher than the wide receivers that we spoke about this week in the waiver Wire, talking about guys like Jermaine Curse, Taylor Gabriel, Chris Godwin, Willie Sneed. If those guys are available, I still take those players ahead of tray Kwan Smith. I like tray Kwan Smith. He was a lot of fantasy football analysts preseason Darling are excited about him coming into

the year. Now he's getting his opportunity. We saw him score those two long touchdowns um in that in that Money Night game against Washington. But Greg, there are a lot of mouths to feed here in the New Orleans offense. Alvin Kamara, mark Ingram, they're gonna get. There's obviously Michael Thomas is going to be the top target getter, and there's still Cameron Meredith. So I think one week it could be trade Kwon Smith, one week it could be

Cameron Meredith. I like picking up Smith over Meredith. I think there's more upside there, but he's going to be very boom er bust in my opinion, kind of similar to Ted gin uh So in deeper leagues. Yes, I think it's imperative to pick him up, but he still ranks behind the wide receivers that we spoke about in the waiver wire this week. In my opinion, how do you feel about him? Well, I was decided, I don't.

I agree For the most part. The one guy I was just siding between just a few moments ago was Tray Kwan Smith and the rat Damien Ratley. Yes, so this is dependent on what you need, Like the short term play you need a guy for this week. I like Ratley going up against that Tampa Bay Bucks secondary just get shredded by wide receivers every single week. There's a high game total in that game right around fifty points right now between the Bucks and the Cleveland Browns.

And Ratley played a lot of the snaps last week. He saw a ton of targets last week. I think we could see a lot of that again with Richard Higgins out here in week seven. So the short term, if you need a guy to play this week, it's Ratley tray Kwan Smith. I don't love the matchup this week against Baltimore. They've been very potent against wide receivers. They just got Jimmy Smith back their top cornerback. But I will say for the long term, I think tray

Kwan Smith has higher upside than Damien Ratley. All right, fair enough, I probably should have made that move. Then he's he's gone on my lead now sorry, right, But in that Saints Ravens game here, as I mentioned, the Ravens are favored by two and a half points. You have Joe Flacco ranked ahead of Drew Brees this week if I pull out the wide receiver rankings available right now ropers dot com. I did speak to the King yesterday to try to get the name change. He approved it. Yeah,

we can change it. We change this show. He approved it, Yeah, so we'll it. You didn't actually do it yet, I guess I'll just do it. You could have got to take matters and you could have done it all this time. I mean not ideally, I don't want to go into another person's website and change our website your stuff that's on it. Yeah, it's usually the King's thing. I'm not gonna I'm not gonna steal his thunder. I'm not gonna do his job for him. You know, we will change

the name together after the show. Gregg Frank's Best Fantasy five b f F of the Week. Yeah, what you can find him road to experts dot com. Five players that I'm higher on than the consensus expert rankings. Yeah, I appreciate that. Anyway, inside those rankings, you have the wide receiver rankings, Frankie, where do you have the Ravens wide receivers ranked? People love Willly Steve, We talked about him earlier in the week. Everybody's all over John Brown

and Michael Crabs. She's kind of done his thing as well. How do you rank those three wide receivers in Week seven? So I have John Brown right now as a solid wide receiver too. I have met wide receiver eighteen overall, and I know he burned a lot of people last week. But I'm going right back to the well. I will say if they're is a bit of risk here because the Saints defense has been playing better and maybe that's

partially due to Marshawn Lattimore getting back on track. So if Marshawn Lattimore is a guy that is on John Brown, there will be risk involved, but we won't really know that until the game starts. Will Marshall Latimore beyond Brown? Will he be on? Crabtree? Whoever he is not on, has a very nice opportunity to produce in this game. I have Michael Crabtree also has a wide receiver too. He's my wide receiver twenty two. Overall, He's seen a

ton of targets this year. It's a great matchup. The Saints have allowed something like the third or fourth most fantasy points to wide receivers on the season, actually the most. They've allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers on the season. So while they've they've turned a corner of the past couple of weeks, they were still shredded early on. So we get some big plays there and Willie Sneed checks in as a low end wide receiver three. But in PPR we spoke about this, he is providing an

extremely extremely safe floor. Also, it's the revenge game for Willie Sneed. Ding ding Ding. Indeed, so Frankie as it ranked John Brown, then Michael Crabtree, and then Willie Sneed. He means I like Joe Flacco to which is why I have him ranked so high. Frank Alex Collins, Oh, you're always a big fan of him. I can't imagine

that changes this week. Well, the Saints are actually the best team against running backs this here, which might be right, like they're allowing you know, like three point to three point three yards per carry on the ground. They've been very, very stout against the run. I think, based on four teams being on a buy, Alex Collins is still a low end RB two, especially based on the usage that he had last week, scoring two touchdowns from within the

five yard line. We want to see him get that usage back and gain momentum and gain confidence in their coaching staff. So the more that he continues to produce in that area of the field, the more he will earn opportunities, which will cut into Buck Allen's value obviously. But I just think based on how many teams are on to buy uh and his usage trending in the right direction, Alex Collins is still a low end RB two, But I don't love the matchup, to be honest, right,

So there you go. Alex Collins not Frank his favorite play this week, the wide receivers is the way you want to go with Baltimore ins to the other side of that matchup, we mentioned trey Kuan Smith and what he could possibly do, obviously starring Michael Thomas. How high do you have mark Ingram ranked this week? Last time he was out there, he was fantastic. Alvin Kamara was relatively quiet for him. How do you rate the running game down in New Orleans on this week? Yes, so

I have mark Ingram as RB thirteen. He's a high just based on how potent the New Orleans Saints offense is. I know that the Ravens have also been great against running backs this year, allowing just three point nine yards per carry and have only allowed two rushing touchdowns totals. So uh, he has his work cut out from But we we saw this last year between Alvin Kamara and mark Ingram. They were matchup proof. The offensive line looks like it's back on track as well from where they

were earlier on in the season. Um so I'm trusting mark Ingram. I'm trusting Alvin Kamara as Alvin camaras inside my top twelve. Mark Ingram is just outside, but he's a high end r B two H. They're both matchup proof, in my opinion, matchup proof, both running backs out there in New Orleans. And that will take care of that New Orleans Saints Baltimore Ravens game coming up, coming up in a little bit eight four or four four three six eight. So and I'm gonna answer your line up

questions throughout our program as well. Frankie Buffalo and Indianapolis. Buffalo seven a half point dog in this game. Derek Anderson will start for Buffalo in his first game of the team. There's nobody in Buffalo ever play in fantasy football, um, including Lashaw McCoy. Does that changed this week for you? Well, McCoy is actually trending in the right direction. And I think the fact that Derek Anderson is playing quarterback for this team now only helps him because Derek Anderson is

a competent journeyman quarterback. Obviously, you know he's not part of the future for the Buffalo Bills, but for one week only, maybe for two weeks only, he can be serviceable for this team. I think he opens things up a little bit. He'll be able to throw the ball down the field even if he doesn't know the playbook. Overall, he just has more NFL talent at this point to what we've seen out of Josh Allen to what we've seen out of Nathan Peterman, and ultimately that helps Lasha McCoy.

It also helps that Lashaw McCoy himself has been trending in the right direction the past two weeks. Two weeks agoing against the Titans, twenty four carries for eighty five yards. I find you he hasn't scored a single touchdown this year, but still had over a hundred total yards in that game with twenty receiving yards. And then last week sixteen carries for seventy three yards four point six yards per carry. Uh,

he was at nine b four total yards. So McCoy putting two good games back to back together with Derek Anderson as the quarterback here, I just think based on his usage, he checks in as a solid to low end RB two with four teams on a bi grege. Okay, So there you go. That's the deal with Lashawn McCoy. In bub Baledo on the other side with eating Apolis. I'm really excited to hear um your thought process here. It looks like t Y Hilton gonna give a go

for Indianapolis. What is it due to Chester Rodgers value? It's it hurts it. It hurts it for sure, because now you know Eric Ebron and t Y Hilton are unquestion gonna be the top two targets in this offense. We know Chester Rogers was fantasy vial the past couple of weeks because he was getting double digittit targets every

single week. Unfortunately, I think that comes to an end here now, especially with the Bill's defense and their secondary specifically playing as well as they've had all we're talking about that secondary, t Y Hilton slated to get matched up with her Davious White, so because he is going to get volume, kind of similar to what I said about Alex Collins. He's gonna get volume in this game, but the matchup is not good. So where does t Y Hilton check in. He's a low end wide receiver

to Chester Rogers. He's not really on our radar anymore for fantasy purposes, unless something were to happen to t Why Hilton in this game. Eric Ebron is still a top five tight end. Doesn't look like Jack Doyle is going to go, and he is being targeted a lot in the red zone. Uh, he's just been a touchdown machine. So really it's just a lot of t Y Hilton, It's a lot of Eric Ebron, and then we probably

get some Chester Rogers sprinkled in some Zach Pascal. But I don't know that there's anyone that you can trust week in and week out with t Y Hilton back healthy, and that makes sense, And maybe the one guy out of all the pleapble you mentioned is Eric Ebron to me, just because of how consistent he's been and the diarth type ends that are out there, He's the one I probably I can't believe I'm saying this trust the most

out there in Indianapolis exactly. With the backfield, though Marlin Mack came back, He's very very good last week for indeed, do you see that continuing or would you rather have Niim Heinz and Guy's gonna catch down the passes of the backfield. Yeah, I think we're starting to see Marlon Mack take over this backfield. They spoke about that before last week's game. Against the jetstat Marlon Mack would be slotted back in. I'm gonna take over as a starter.

He's gonna get a lot of workheim Heinz played more snaps in that game because the Colts were trailing a lot. But they're actually seven and a half point favorites in this game. So Biggas expects, um the Colts to be leading a lot, and I you know, it'll probably be closer in my opinion. We'll talk about that later on we get into our best bets, UM, But I do think this is more of a Marlon Mack type of

game than it is. Nihim haines that heim Heinz dropped that easy touchdown last week, the receiving touchdown through right into his test. He dropped it. But Marlon Mack played about snaps, saw the majority of the carries, and was very efficient in those carries. He checks in as a flex option running back. UM until we see him get more usage and continue to produce for more than one week. UM, I think you have to view them as a flex but that could easily change if he produces well in

this game. I think so too. I think so too. I'm interested to see what we kind of performance we get from him on a weekend. We we got bases. I don't want people like Buffalo's defense in general. Um, when we get to our picks later on the program, UM, you'll see which one of us actually really like Buffalo even more? Uh this week. But Marlon Mack was the name that people were not in on at all and was the price tag. It was the player. I think that's the question that we're gonna have to see as

we move forward. Cleveland Tampa was a really interesting game here, Frank, two teams that aren't dissimilar to me, Cleveland's two three and one Tampa Bay or two and three. Jamis Winston came back, was the number one quarterback in week six? Can you do it again? I think based on volume Again, this is something we've spoken about with Jamis Winston and the Bucks offense overall. They just can't run the football and I don't know that they're going to be able

to do that against the Cleveland Browns either. The Browns have, UM, you know, their defense is stepping up, specifically that defensive line with Miles Garrett, Ogan Joby, the linebacker crew there, Denzel Awards stepping it up too. So this Browns defense is absolutely legit. I don't know that Peyton barber is going to be able to replicate what he did last week against the Falcons, but if you've been listening all week, you already know that I don't like Peyton barbera all

that much. I think Jamis Winston has to throw the ball a lot in this game. We're looking at forty plus attempts once again, and the way to beat the Cleveland Browns is actually through the air. So I think Jamis Winston I'm trusting him again this week as a top ten quarterback, just based on volume. Uh. And then on the other side of that, Baker Mayfield. Look, we we spoke about this too. The Tampa Bay Bucks defense is dreadful. It's absolutely horrible. There's a reason why they

fired their defensive coordinator, Mike Smith. They've allowed at least three fifty pasting yards and three passing touchdowns in each of the past three games. I'm not sure that Baker Mayfield gets to those lofty numbers, but I think we're looking at three passing yards here, multiple scores from Baker Mayfield. That's gonna make him a borderline top twelve quarterbacks, so I like him in DFS a lot. I like him. If you're suffering from the bye weeks, I would use

Baker Mayfield over Drew Brees. Actually Drew Brees the past couple of times he's been outdoors, especially against the Ravens defense. I don't love Drew Brees this week, but I do like Baker Mayfield a lot. And if I like him, I like Jarvis Landry high end wide receiver to Jarvis Landry. The Bucks struggle a lot against slot wide receivers um and Jarvis Slandry has surprisingly has played a lot of his snaps in the slot this year. I don't know

that people realize that. And then David and Joeku, who's coming off a great performance double digit targets once again, actually got in the end zone last week. I think there is a good chance that he gets in the end zone again in Week seven. Damien Ratley is just kind of the super sleeper there or salary relief if you're playing him in d if that's just because the Bucks secondary is that bad, I think the Rats really

interesting man. I want to see if he could be something over there's a one week It was a one week play. It was a one week whatever. Maybe he's got talent. I don't know. I'm excited to find out. I would only use him if you're in deeper leaks and really hurting at the bye weeks, just because we want to find out. What would you want rather use the rat or Josh Reynolds this week? If Cooper Cup is out and Reynolds is healthy, I'll use Tony taking a break here when we come back more in my game.

In week number seven, Frank, we move on to Miami and Detroit, where their starting quarterback from Miami is rock smiler. You got anything there? Anything else I got? I gotta literally end now. Um, and you have a question for real? Though the brocast by quarterback Albert Wilson went off in week six, do

you buy it in week seven? Not necessarily. He's outside of my top thirty six if you're hurting because of bye weeks. I think he could step in as a wide receiver, but he's just on that fringe. I think he's he's like a top forty wide receiver. This week he's Boomer bust. We've seen that he's had two big games, He's had other games that have been duds. Um, he did know he did dominate targets last week. He had

nine targets with Brock as his quarterback. A lot of that was the short passes which he took to the house. You had to realize the Detroit Lions defense is is very very good. They've played very well since that she lacking against the Jets in Week one. That kind of seems to be like an aberration based on everything else we've seen from this Lions defense. So because of the matchup, because of the I don't know, shaky play that we're gonna get from Brock Oswile like, I'm just not expecting

Brock to do what he did last week. Albert Wilson, to me, is nothing more than a bye week replacement. I wouldn't even trust him as as a top thirty six wide receiver, all right, So there you not trust me. Albert Wilson not going with the gut this week. When it comes to Albert Wilson, the running game is really interesting. Though. Kenyan Drake of course bubbled on the goal line. It didn't matter. I gotta got more opportunities. When the Dolbins got the ball back, Frank Gore rush for a hundred

yards last week. Frank had been very adamant all week that both Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake would be inside your top twenty four kings are finalized right now, are they there? So Kenyan Drake is number twenty five and Frank Gore is number So I'm sorry, but I lied to you. There's just a few players that I ran that I hold a little bit higher this week, Losaw McCoy being one. T J yelled in, Matt Brita, Corey Clement. Just like those matchups, the way that those players have

been used a little bit more. But when you're looking at high in flex options, I don't know that there's anyone better than Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake this week, just based on the matchup going up against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed five point three yards per carry this year.

That's tied for second in the NFL. Mind you people might not realize this, but outside of that first game against the Jets that how and allowed a lot of rushing touchdowns, they've only allowed three rushing touchdowns this season. But I still think there's a lot of yards to be gained here by Frank Gore and Kenyan Drake. And any time that you have a defense that allows this high of yards per carry, they give up big plays on the ground. Those big plays can easily turn into touchdowns.

So we'll take that opportunity. And with what Frank Gore has done, he's out carried Kenyan Drake the past three weeks. He's had double digit carries the past three weeks. He was the first one yard rusher against the Chicago Bears this season. So everything is training in the right direction for Gore and it's a good matchup against the Detroit Lions, So That's why he checks in as a flex better in standard non PPR leagues or half PPR where you're

still looking for that touchdown. In full PPR, he's not gonna catch any passes. That's more so where Kenyan Drake comes into the mix. Alright, So Kenyan Drake Francore both flex plays this week. According to Frank Standford, he is comfortable with that there. Hopefully it works out on the other side, the Detroit Lions coming off the by Golden case. But really, really good, man, I feel like this every year, Golden Date kind of does it. Nobody really wants him

and yet all he does is produced. Yeah, that's exactly right. He's just a wide receiver to every rock solid floor, you know what, the targets are gonna be there. He hovers around double digit targets every single week. Is that safety blanket for Matthew Stafford. And in the games where he scores a touch end or two, those are the games where he ends up being a top twelve wide receiver. This is a bit of a tougher matchup against the

Miami Dolphins. Their defense has actually been sneaky good this year. I know you might not believe me, after they allowed thirty points to the Chicago Bears a week ago, but their defense has played well. I still like Golden Tape based on his usage. That's safe floor every single week. I like Kenny Golladay. I like Kenny Golladay. I don't love Kenny Golladay because we know that both Gallady and Marvin Jones are gonna play on the outside. The question

is who's going to get shadowed by Xavian Howard. Because Xavier Howard has really stepped up here as one of the premier shutdown corners in the NFL. We just don't know who he's going to be on, whether that's Goali or Marvin Jones. Marvin Jones kind of taking a back seat to Getty this year has kind of become, you know, touchdown or bust for fantasy purposes, so he's more of a wide receiver three. The way that Kenny Golladay has played this year, he still checks in as a top

wide receiver. But I will put a disclaimer oute that if he gets shadowed by Xavian Howard, it could be a very, very long day for Kenny Golladay. Yeah, I completely completely agree with everything he said there. Frank thanks Man were best friends Forever Carolina and Philadelphia Eagles. Which running back would you rather have Wendel Smallwood, I'll still take Corey Clement. And I know a lot of people

have been on Wendel Smallwood. He played more snaps and Corey Clement a week ago he had more touchdown touches. But again Corey Clement was the guy who scored the touchdown. I just think Doug Peterson um has a little bit more faith in Corey Clement. We've seen that. You know, even when they bring in the juy ese Um, whoever they bring in, Corey Clement still always has a role. So Doug Peterson likes Corey Clement. I mean, Peterson likes all of his running backs. We said that this is

gonna be a frustrating situation. So in my opinion, Corey Clement just more likely to score a touchdown. I think that once they get in the red zone, they're more likely to use him. I just think he has a little bit more upside, more ability to break one out. So he is a low end RB two for me, while Wendel Smallwood is a flex. But to be honest, both of these guys are gonna get double digit, double

digit touches in this game. So you're comfortable with both women means yeah, I just I trust Corey Clement a little bit more to be the guy who scores a touchdown once they get in the rids. Judy actually has this question, would you rather start in the next thing where to get to would you rather start Corey Clement or Jordan Howard? This week? I'm still gonna use Jordan Howard. It's against the New England Patriots, who haven't been great against the run this year. They've allowed four point five

yards per carry. And look, there's gonna be a lot of point scored in that game. We know that the over under, you know, around fifty points in that game against the Bears and the Patriots. Greg last week, what could have been for Jordan Howard fumbled a goal line carry, which if he gets in the end zone, we're looking at seven yards and a touchdown. Nobody's freaking out about

Jordan Howard. Now obviously that didn't happen. He did exactly what you don't want him to do, which is he lost a fumble right there on the world yard line and we can't take that back. But that creates a bondite opportunity here. Again, if he scores that touchdown, We're not freaking out about this. There's points that are gonna be scored. Three Cohen's gonna get used. We know that. Um,

the snap percentage has been training down for Howard. But I just think based on this game total and the fact that when they get inside the five, they're still gonna use Jordan Howard. Um, I'll take him over Corey Clement. Okay, I thought it was thought it was kind of close. I have Jordan Howard is like a solid mid range RB two, whereas Corey Clement is a lower end r B two. Just because Wendell Smallwood is there, there's a little bit more volatility with Doug Peterson calling the plays.

We know that he runs running back by committee. Um, It's it's crazy to say, but I just I trust Jordan Howard a love. Okay, do you agree with three Cohen so and tree uh and p PR. I would actually use to reco and over Jordan Howard and half point PPR. I think it's very close between the two. UM, but he is in standard, he's a high end flex in PPR. He is in RB two. Based on the targets. He's getting um and the way you know, Matt Naggie has figured out a way to get to reco and involved.

And something that we thought could happen is that Matt Naggie coming over from the Kansas City Chiefs, could turn tarrecoh and into this team's version of Tyreek Hill. Now nobody's Tyreek Hill. But if there's one player who comes close, I guess it's three Cohen based on how electric he is, how fast he is. Uh, you get him out in space, he can just make a world of things happen, and he's just a nightmare for opposing defenses. So um, it's awesome that Matt Naggie is finding creative ways who gets

frecon involved. And because of that, because of his target volume and the fact that the Bears are there's slight underdogs here at home. I think we see some Trekhen Um, we see some Jordan Howard as well, But I like to recon overall more in PPR than fair Off. And with that we say goodbye to our friends after shoot. We appreciate you checking us out. Fantasy best friends forever. I'll do it all again at the same time, same

place next week. Thanks so much for watching. As we move on, Frankie, and we continue on, I want to take some calls at eight four four, eight four three six, eight seven nine eight four four eight four three six, eight seven nine, and I want to get their starting sick questions like the Corey Clement versus Jordan Howard one that I had for you a little bit earlier on because you know they matter too. They matter to people matter, They they will keep us going. Greg I got a

question from Daniel Philip on Twitter. Daniel asked me he needs three of these five guys Kiki, kote or q T QT q T. I feel like it's gonna change every week, and now we'll go with qt QT, Corey Davis, Eto Smith, Jermaine Curse or most a new the main curse, most New. How many does you need? Trace Standard needs three um Standard. One of them is gonna be Edo Smith Um going up against the Giants. I think he's a flex option in that matchup. The Giants have not

been great against running backs. I'll use your main curse. I know it's standard, but safe floor and then if he gets in the end zone, he'll end up finishing the week as the top twenty four wide receiver. Um, this last one is tough. It's it's between Kiki and Corey Davis. Just because I don't know that Mohammed Sanu is gonna play. That's who I wrote nice. I know you know, I spent a lot of time earlier in the week bashing Cory Davis. Texans are going up against

the Jaguars. If there is a place that you want to target them, it is in the slot. We saw Cold Beasley score two touchdowns last week, but Kiki a little bit banged up. I just feel like the Jaguars are just gonna the mom of Texans this week. I'll take Corey Daves. So Florio tweeted this out. I think it's last night or yesterday afternoon. He tweeted us out. So I wanted to give it of loves. Retweeted at Mike Florida who who who? Wait, you must not be

named Ki. So he has a new article on NFL dot com, and I want to get a shout out. You read it already. I didn't mean it yet, but I have it here. I've read an article before. You good. Yeah, it was great. You don't have to just say it was great because it was. You know, I don't say anything. He right is great? Probably not, but nevertheless, edit all dot com. Mike Florio's feature there. It's not the fake Mike Florio, It's our real Mike Florio. So please check

it out. He writes slot receiver and their matchups each and every week. So the players he highlights this week Sterling Shepherd, uh, Rob Woods, Tyler Boyd. So take a look at it, man, And sorry to our guy Mike Floria. He's in there too. He likes Kiki a lot. If Floria were here today, I have a feeling he would say Kiki or record of days? You know what? He's not correct? Eight four or four eight four three six, eight seven nine. In that Jacksonville Houston game, Um, the

Jacksonville get back on track at home? Yeah, I think they just I think they just pound the Texans in this game. Um, the Jaguars have been a different team at home all season long. The Texans struggles at the offensive line are highly noted to this point. They did not look great against the Buffalo Bills last week, and honestly, if it weren't for Nate Peterman throwing a pick six and a near another pick six, then we might be talking about the Bills winning that game outright against the Texans.

I just don't have a lot of faith in the Texans. I still do like DeAndre Hopkins uh in two games against the Jaguars last year, he scored a touchdown in each of them. He averaged sixty seven yards per game in those games, So maybe the upside isn't as high, but he's still gonna be a target monster. Um. I think the Jaguars, especially from a betting perspective, what is this game up to now four and a half, that's just a lot of points. I would I would probably

still take the Jaguars. Like t J yelled in, I think Blake Bortles is a sneaky super flex quarterback. Might be like a tournament option for court Um. For DF, that's just because he has that high upside. But for season long, I'm I'm not trusting any of the Jaguars receivers just because you don't know who it's going to be on a weekly basis, you just don't know who's

gonna go off. I completely I completely get a man, And there's been times where I bought it on a d D. I bought it on Helan Cole and I just wrong every week for a season. I bought it a donja moncreat do you like Lamar Miller in that game? I had to ask, do you do you think the Jaguars cover that spread? Laying four and a half at home? I really liked it two and a half earlier in the week four and a half. Everyone's pounding the Jaguars right now. They just think that they're going to demolish

the Texans. I think so too. If I had to take, I would take the Jaguars, And yeah, I think so. They were gonna be one of my best bets four halves a lot, though it is a lot. I really think they pound the crap out of the Texans. But we can legitimately see like a ten game here something like that. The Texans offense hasn't done much to inspire confidence either. Yeah, um, could you start will Fuller this week? No outside my top thirties started Kiki kot Rat ranked higher. Oh,

I totally agree. Q ranked higher than Will. I told it was it Floria that convinced you. Uh No, I've had it that way all week. The fact that will Fuller is banged up every single week dealing with his hamstring injury, and he's gonna get you know, one of Ramsey or a J. Bouyer. Um. I just think it's just a better spot overall for Kekey in that slot matchup again. Cole Beasley scored two touchdowns last week. If there's anywhere that you're gonna target, it is the slot

receiver and that's Kicky. Completely completely agree with you. I would go with Akiki as well over will Fuller here this week, um back because we we need get to hit on it all that much, um Caroline, I liked them in Funch's Philadelphia secondary still has been the weakest part of their team. So I do like Funches. This is sneaky. He's a sneak. He played this week and then in the New England officially dropped Chris Hogan as I mentioned, So Hogan's gone, Josh Gordon playing more and

more snapped. Uh, this could be the week to get it on Josh Gordon and the Chicago does have a better defense. We'll see if clil Mac is active. Yeah, they do have a better defense, but does it really matter when you're facing Tom f and Brady. I do have Josh Gordon ranked the highest this week that I have all season long. I him as wide receiver twenty four. Maybe that's a little bit too aggressive, but we saw

his too aggressive at wide receiver twenty four. For Josh Gordon, snaps are training in the right direction, had what nine targets last week. A matter of time before we get that, you know, big two touchdown game between Josh Gordon and Tom Brady. But his usages training in the right direction, like Julian Edelman obviously in that game as well. He's a mid ring wide receiver two to me, regardless of format, even in standard. We saw him score the touchdown a

week ago. I'm not scared off of James White, you know, having a down game last week, Sony Michelle. It's just it's status quo for the rest of the Patriots weapons here in this game, Greg, I understand. I I completely again how high it's too high for Taylor Gabriel this week, because he's kind of a hard guy to rank him this week? Yeah, I have him. I have him as wide receiver your thirty two. Now, his snaps went down

last week, his targets went down last week. With Anthony Miller returning back to the lineup, Um, we saw him still have a great game, but he was only targeted five times. Alan Robinson scored touchdown. Um, the Bears could be playing from behind in this game, so you kind of like that. I think because of that uncertainty, I think having him as a mid range wide receiver three is a good spot to have him, just based on

the matchup. If he goes off, you know, I don't know, He's just he's a He's a hard guy to rank this week. Um, would you have him higher than wide receiver thirty two? It's hard, man. I don't love Taylor Gabriel this week because like he's he's a guy that could just do nothing, you know, is he though, like the way the way that he's not this year? Not this year? No, it's like we we feel that way, But I don't know. Would you rather use Jamin curse not?

Rather do? Yes? Absolutely? Over a hundred yards two games in a row from Gabriel. Man tasting points Gabriel one spot higher than Jamine Kurts right now. I'd rather use Jamin PPR. I would use Curts half used standard Gabriel four four eight four three seven nine. We open up the full lines for you. Held up next. If you're from the NFL to the NBA, Daily Rohodo dot com

Back with you, Fantasy best friends forever. Fantasy Sports Radio Network FREG. You had to do an NBA last night, but just miss cash. Sorry, butt, but in you both tournament in cash. I only played a tournament lineup last night. I had Lebron in it. That worked out obviously. I had Ben Simmons, I didn't have Joel Embiid. With the news of Dwight Howard coming out, I went with Yon Moheemi. That was a huge mistake. You know, I should have kept JaVale mcgean because he actually turned out to be

pretty Sanders. You know, he told us. He told us he was Ronny McGruder too. He liked those those guys. No, no, no, no, you liked him, he confirmed. Yeah, that confirmed that was a greg one. But you didn't use him either. Now, so you can't take credit for it and talking about some of it. Man, this is the problem when you give me too much time. You gotta be able to hit on these punt plays. The first thing we spoke about when I walked in today. You gotta be able

to hit on the punt plays. The punt plays that we used were Cameron Payne, Yan Moheemi and Justin Holliday. Those guys did not hit. We did not cash. Do you know what like that? You know why? You know why? Here's where we screwed up. So we got here yesterday morning. We ran the optimizer and we made a lineup featuring Zach Levine, Joel embade Um, Bobby Portis, and yes Macruter. You know what happened that lineup dominated were we tinkered too much, not using the Daily Road to NBA lineup optimizer.

We lose and that's exactly what happened yesterday. So don't be a loser like Frank and I who both lost money yesterday. Head no, no, to Daily roado dot com right now, use the NBA lineup Optimizer, go premium, use the promo code f NCS. Why if you haven't yet, you get some money off. It's well worth it because when you try to do it yourself and you think you're out smarting the computer, you don't. I am evident of that. Please don't be an idiot like me. Go

to Daily Roader dot com. Use the NBA optimizer right now and get in the game before you set your lae up tonight. It's it's well worth it. Man eight four four eight four three six seven nine. You take some calls, y yes, sir, all right, let's do Jimmy in Seattle. Jimmy. What's up? Man? Hey? How are you guys doing? Do it all right? What's going on? I have a flex question. I have Chris Thompson right it's

in he's in right now. But I have Turke Cohen and uh DeShawn Jackson, and I don't know who to start. It's a PPR league. It's full PPR full PPR. Mm hmmm mmm. I'm gonna use Greg yep I completely Cohen is trending in the right direction. I will say like the Shawn Jackson a lot too. The Cleveland Browns have given up some big plays. We saw Tyro william score two long touchdowns last week. I think Deshn Jackson is a sneaky wide receiver three, but I'll take Creek Tarik Cohen.

The way that he's being used, trending in the right direction, and the fact that the Bears are underdogs at home in this game could be chasing some points that could lead to more tarikoh In on the field. I'm gonna go with Turikh and as well. I thought for the same reason that they want, they're gonna be chasing points all afternoon. I think Chicago um which a lot of doubles trico, which means Jordan Howard maybe back on the bench. Maybe he should start Corey clement Um. But yeah, that's

a messy situation. I like I like to re co in there. I'll agree with Frankie at back games with seven receptions for to recono eight four three, six, st seven nine. Wesley in California, what's up? Wesley? Yes, hey, guys, quick two questions. UM, can you help me pick my flex? I have edo Smith, Alshon Jeffrey or Matt Bridau full PPR, Well, BBR it's first question, you know, al Sean or Matt Brida. This is unquestionably Alshon Jeffrey for me in the full PPR.

I don't know if I'm just buying too much into the recncy bias what he's been doing the past two weeks, but the targets have been there, the usage has been there, specifically in the red zone. He's scoring touchdowns, he's getting targeted. He's actually been very efficient. One of the reasons I didn't like Alshon Jeffrey coming into the year, aside from the injury Greg, was that Alshon Jeffrey was an extremely inefficient receiver. Last year he caught less than fifty percent

of his targets. This year he's been much better than that. It's a decent match up against the Panthers. I'm taking out on Jeffrey and PPR. What's your second question, man, um? My second question is right now, I got a trade pending. Um. I have Aaron Rodgers as my quarterback, but I'm trading away Julio Jones for Davante Adams, So that's like a kind of a wash trade to me, like, I get what Adams just don't with all the touchdowns. You got

the Aaron Rodgers Davante Adams connection. Julio Jones is putting up a jillion yards on pace for over two thousand UM, but there's no touchdowns. That's a wash trade. It's like, whatever, what's your record? Four and two? Mm hmmm. I kind of like it just because Davanta Adams is on the by this week and then you get him back next week and you don't have to worry about BIS for the rest of the season. Yeah, but Adams it means nothing.

That's just thinking about it too much. The next week you get so hook up too between Rogers and Adams. Julio is on a by next week, so it's not you're voting. But yep, the guy from Storage wars, Yep, I got it. Yeah, yep, uh yeah, it's a watch. Just keep Huio Jones. Okay, all right, thank you? Yep? Height four four eight, four, three six seven nine. Devon in Texas? What's up? Devon? Hey guys, what's up with y'all? Uh? Just got Twoston start questions if that's okay? Um? First

one full PPR league, Um? I need a running back and be flex. My options are Sony Michelle, Chris Thompson, mark Ingram, t Y Hilton, and Allen Robinson. Do you need RB and a flex, yes, sir for PPP. Alright, So Sony Michelle is definitely in there. It doesn't matter to me that he doesn't score, that he doesn't catch passes. I mean, the guys are scoring touchdowns at a rapid pace.

If you look at his red zone usage. Uh, the Patriots haven't used a running back this often in the red zone since le Garrett Blunt in that breakout season. So Sony Michelle definitely. The next one I'm gonna take is mark Ingram. I just I spoke earlier about how those Saints running backs our matchup proof. It doesn't matter to me that they're facing Baltimore on any given week. Mark Ingram is an option, a viable option to score

two touchdowns, catch a couple of passes to um. So I know it's PPR, but I'm just gonna roll with running backs there and Sony Michelle mark I'm cool with that. Those two guys may have the best chance of any year your options to score touchdown. The usure for Sonny Michelle's crazy and mark Ingram was great. It's first week back eight four four eight four three six eight seven nine. Let's hit up Jacob in New York. It's not Jacob ke Hi, Hi. I have one question. Who do who

do I start in the full PPR league? Shawn Jackson or Chris Godwin? As a Frankie question, I've ever heard one, yes, So I was just talking about Sean Jackson a little bit earlier. I have both of these guys as wide receiver threes this week, but I'll take to Sean Jackson. I just think there's higher upside. The targets have been a little bit more consistent this year. Chris Godwin has scored a touchdown in four out of five games, but the snap percentage has been a little bit inconsistent. I

like both guys, but I'll take to Seawan Jackson. I think he catches a long one in this game. Okay, thank you so much. What against your guy? What against your guy? I like? I like the matchup for for the Bucks pass catchers, but Sean Jackson has his usage has been a little bit more consistent, and he has higher upside hair right now, and I wish there was more of it. You should keep it going into no shape. November just boom. What do I have to do? Man?

What do I have to do? Just give me like goatee, greg like a month. Know what's funny? You know you would look remember the episodes of How Did You Watch Him? At Your Mother? Really really well for anyone listening or watching who has watched How I Met Your Mother? There was like a a few episodes where they show Ted Moseby with a goatee and he looks super weird. Who plays Ted Mosby is the main character? I hate him so annoying. So not Jason Siegel, He's awesome in that show,

and not a Patrick Harrison. Patrick Harris is awesome in that show. To the other guy, Uh, I don't know what his name is because he's done like nothing else besides How I Met Your Mother? His name is Ted Moseby. That's it great, Josh Ratners. When I was looking, Yeah, Josh rad bro Uh, he had a few episodes. Would it go to he looks super weird? Yeah, so what imagine it would look like for you? But hey, you

know what's this is weird? But sometimes on the subway, you know, you see a reflection like the window and somewhere I'm staying there, I can see the outline of where it would go, and you were likely this is weird. No, it is sick. I don't want to come out in the shower sometimes using what the f is on your face? It never happens. No, it wasn't. Not, that was not. Like how often do you shave? Uh? Usually every five days, every five days? But this week I don't ever shave myself.

This really get it trimmed when I go to get a haircut. This week was his day, Today's day five. So I haven't shaved a week. I shouldn't say shave all next week. That's what we gotta do, man, Like, let's place a wager. I've been trying to do this for how long have we been doing the show, since we got the show? Couple of years. I've been trying to find a wager something too bet with you on where if you lose, you have to grow out your facial hair. It would itch too much. No, it's not. Ye,

you look great. A little bit of rugged greg action. Do I seem rugged? Right now? You're like, so here's the thing. So for me, I'm looking there this morning, like, Wow, this is this is very thick. And then I watched back we did not really I did the NBA recap this morning and I watched it back. It was like, you can't know there's anything on my face exactly, but hysterical because I look at it him like, oh my god, because it's up close, it's in a mirror. Like the

whole point is, wouldn't it's Judy? Yeah, duty isn't my facials out? She doesn't like it, But next time Judy is in the doghouse, that should be her punishment. You grow your facial I don't want to or just over there, how dare you? I invited Frank over next weekend. He tearned me down. It's not my fault. It wasn't my fault four three six. I think that's what Mike McCoy

is saying right now. It wasn't my fault. Disaster. He's been time, he's been fired three times and last year yeah and rightfully so, I don't dude, if he didn't get fired today, I was gonna come in and like just strip into the like you look at what their offense. It was just a disaster. That team was not ready to play football last night. It was a disgrace to call that team an NFL team. It was absolutely disgusting from the first like the ten seconds into the game,

Josh Rosen is calling a time out. Wait, there's no preparation. There was nothing embarrassing. I don't know if you saw this um this tweet from Warren Sharp last night. This ridiculous stats that Warren Sharp provides. Uh, the NFL average of runs behind their center twenty eight point nine percent. The NFL average. Would you like to guess the percentage of runs the Cardinals have run right into the back of their offensive line, right into the seven their center six?

The NFL average is twenty eight point nine This Mike McCoy was like the last of a dying breed of John Fox, Jeff Fisher, these boring ass old head coaches. And you know what, Mike McCoy isn't even that old, but the way that he thinks is like prehistoric NFL times. You have one of the most versatile running backs in the league in David Johnson, You're running him into the back of your center sixty three percent of the times that you run the football. Like, like, what were the

Cardinals thinking? What like, what was Steve Wilkes thinking. I mean, I'll if he doesn't show any improvement over the next eight or nine games, I mean he's gonna be the next one season. Works with Mike McCoy many many years ago in Carolina and that was it. That was it. We gotta like, we gotta be better than this. You gotta be better than this. Does this create a buying

opportunity for David Johnson? I don't know if his value will ever It feels like every couple of weeks we say this, David Johnson's value will never be lower than this. But if you look at what he's done, he's he's been a touchdown reliant, low end RB one. That's been it. Like last week, he gave you fifty five yards, but he gave you, what two touchdowns? If he doesn't score

two touchdowns, we're freaking out last week too. He's been a touchdown reliant running back hopefully Byron left which has an ounce of creativity in his offensive play calling, and he'll figure, oh, you know, let's target David Johnson more than three times in a game, Greig. He turned three

targets into three receptions for thirty one yards. Why is he not getting five to seven targets per game at the least If you can get this guy the ball in his hands the receiver at least five or six times, he's gonna end up giving you fifty to sixty yards receiving, and in turn that will help your offenses because then defenses have to send another player to watch David Johnson out of the backfield. Right now, it's like, okay, well, we know he's They're not going to throw the ball

to David Johnson because they're dumb. Mike McCoy got with what he deserved, and Wikipedia actually had him fired last night before it even happened. Shout out to Wikipedia, most reliable source of all. And with that we say goodbye to YouTube for now. Thank you so much for watching good Luck this week. If you're listening on the podcast, of course we appreciate it, so please subscribe, rate us

five starts and leave a comment. If you are listening on the radio, we'll go another five minutes and so much gives give us thumbs up on YouTube as well, because Corey Parson, Cory Parson, fancy executives been chirping a little bit. Jim, I have a theory about Corey Parson. Great, want to tell us he uh, he skips out right after the frenzy every single day, run runs away. He gets all these thumbs up, right, he gets all these likes on the Fantasy Football Frenzy. I have a theory.

Cory Parson goes home, m opens up computer, phone, tablet, whatever he might have. Whatever he watches is the Frenzy, goes back and watches it on. He has Burner accounts. He has Burner accounts where he himself goes in and gives himself thumbs up on Fantasy Football Frenzy, which in turn gets him more views because the more thumbs up you have, the higher you move up on YouTube, so on and so forth. Um, it's a whole algorithm thing

on YouTube. That's what Corey does. He has Burner YouTube accounts where he gives himself thumbs up on the Fantasy Football Frenzy. Let's see what A says about this. A C. New York your next Let what's up? Man? Sorry? I was looking at Corey's reaction. Uh, he's down here in the chair and he's not happy with Frank. Uh. You got Chris in New York on the phone. Hey, what's up?

Guys love the show? Sure? Sure? Alright? So, um, someone in my league is panicking because they're not doing too well and they have and both Connor Bell out Connor on the by. So they offered me Belle Connor and Collins for Hunt, Eric Ebron, uh, and Allison and I do have Ingram too to show the Brown's place Evan Ingram. Yeah, I'm thinking that Connor and Bell have like a timeshare like Ingram and Camara. I'm just gonna kill it. What's your record? My record is two and four, but it's

a strong tu and four. Three of my losses were by a total of six points. Man. That's tough. So I'd imagine that you rank up pretty highly in your league in terms of points scored. Man, this is uh, this is a risky one thing. I don't I don't know that we've had a more risky trade off for ascid this Sea. Give up Kareem Hunt, who is unquestionably a top six or sin running back. Give up who's a top five tight end? Allison, assuming coming out of

the by, he's a wide receiver. Three Ellen Connor. If Bell comes back and it's Levian Bell again, then James Conner is nothing. I don't I don't know that they do the timeshare thing, Like, why wouldn't they just run Levian Bell into the ground over the final whatever six or seven weeks of the season because they know he's not going to be back next year. And then you get Alex Collins, who was like a low end RB two. This is a this is this is a championship winning move. Greg.

If I've ever seen one, two and four, you still need to win this week. I don't think I'm doing it. I'm making the deal, making its championship move. I'm all about championship moves. What do you did? I love cream Home more than anybody, but Eric, you need to win this week too. If you fold to two and five when you get Levian Bell over the final however many games? Right, we don't even The thing is, we don't even know if he's returning. I think at James Conner. I think,

James Conner, well, i'll have this week. I'll have if I do the trade, he'll give me Collins, so i'll have Cook and Collins is my running back. And then if Cook down plays, dude, yeah, I have the cuff. I have the handcuff. And man, we gotta make me feel a little bit better. We gotta, we gotta let you go. I wouldn't do it, Greg would do it. It's close, Frank, we have thirty seconds left. I gotta get your pitch for this week. Our picks. What are saying?

You're the Jets and Vikings over forty six points. Jets have been scoring, the Vikings have been scoring. I Corey's gonna hte me even more. I got Washington at home, winning out righting against the Cowboys. What was the other one I said to I don't know. We will say, oh, Carolina, al right, Carolina plus four. I'll take Buffalo, New England and Jacksonville. The Frenzies up next. The Fax out till Monday. Gee, then Hope
