Week 8 Preview, Start or Sit?

Forever Show. Start listening to us or suffer the consequences. Listen do do didnit? Yeah? Now welcome eight Hap your host, five eight from Maryland, your co host, by Ye from SAT Trike, Stepfall your co host, and five eleven from Plight. Why, ladies and tentlemen your with that? We want you inside of Studio thirty four. This is the BFFs. He's Frank Stamfle he is e Y Eric Young, and I am Greg Susman. Happy to be here with you on a Friday as we head in to week number eight. Frankie,

what's happening? Man? Greggy? Happy Friday, Too excited to be here, Excited to talk about all the fantasy football games coming this weekend. Week eight Man, We're nearly half way through the NFL season. Time flies right now. Last night, Greg, just like we all expected a barn Burner Vikings and Washington Vikings and the Washington football team came through exactly how we expected them to. Ey. What's happening, buddy? Uh? Not not the greatest football game, but I mean football nonetheless.

I was flipping around watching some watching some hockey, watching some football. It was a good night. It was a good night. But I do have bad news. Playing in the w W WHEE League playing miss he had Delvin Cook and somehow Bailey the kicker and he's up on me forty one point with two players. We played Dalvin Cook as well. Frank, Yeah, I played I played him in five of my nine leagues. So that's that's a good that's a good way to go into the weekends.

So unlucky, man, It's unbelievable. I've played, uh, the Patriots, I think it was Week two when they played Miami. I played him in eight of the nine leagues. It's so remote. I'm not a math guy, but like that is that is insane. Dalvin Cook now has had a touchdown in every game but one so far this year. He has nine rushing touchdowns in eight games. He's just absolutely amazing, you know, and a lot of people thought

this could have happened, right. We all knew that, you know, going at the turn, he's he's this year's Christian McCaffrey because McAffrey was going out a similar spot last season at that one to turn Dalvin Cook. We all knew what the upside was. The Only reason you got the discount on him was because of the injury risk. But we can we see now. Look, as long as this guy is healthy. The offensive line has improved this year as well. They did invest in that in the off season.

They invested it in in the draft as well. They bring in Garrett Bradbury. The offensive line is playing well. Dalvin Cook one of the most electric running backs in the league right now. So if you drafted him on that turn or in the second round, or you know you reached on him in the first round, it is working out for you right now. Greg, he is this year's Christian McCaffrey. Absolutely. He is the guy that leads you to victory each and every week. As you mentioned,

score touchdown in every game but one this season. He has been a rock star. The offense is simply built around Dalvin Cook and Stefon Diggs. He got his another seven gadgets for overall hundred and forty yards, burning Josh Norman. The only negative Stefon Diggs was that early first quarter fumble where he was trying to change the field and head towards the end zone. Ultimately he fumbles, but that was just a blip on the radar. Another really good

night e y from Stefon Diggs. Yeah, Diggs looked awesome. I mean, this is the guy that that I think most of us thought he was going to be. Uh, this is the guy that you know, people drafted him high, and I would imagine that a lot of people have have moved on from him and are probably pretty sad

about that. So, yeah, Diggs looked awesome. Yeah. I tweeted that last night as well, just that I hope after that game against the Eagles where he blew up for a hundred and sixty seven yards and three touchdowns, that you didn't just sell this guy off for anything that you can. I mean, I was one of those that was actually trying, but nobody wanted him, so I just kind of stuck around and was like all right, Well,

I'm gonna ride this out. This is now three weeks in a row that he has given us a hundred and forty three receiving yards or more. How about this, two weeks in a row he's had exactly one hundred and forty three receiving yards, So that's weird. On seven receptions two three games in a row. At least seven receptions two games in a row, exactly one d forty three receiving yards just very odd. Four to the last

five games he's had over a hundred receiving yards. So it looks like Stefon Diggs is getting back to the player we thought that he could be. Ever since Adam Feeling called out Kirk Cousins, he's been balling out. I know a lot of people ended up using kirk Cousins last night. I myself used Kirk Cousins in the league where I had Lamar Jackson on a bye. He didn't come through. You know, he played well. They just kept throwing screen passes to Dalvin Cook. Washington had no answer

for that. And then when he wasn't throwing screen passes, he was throwing it to Stefon Diggs. So it worked out. But um. Ultimately, he didn't throw for any touchdowns for Kirk Cousins, so that wasn't great. But the Vikings are are playing well right now. Greg, I'll throw this your way. Do you try and look into selling Stefon Diggs now that he has built up, you know, this three game sample and you kind of use that as a as a reason to turn him into a wide receiver too,

that you might trust more consistently once Adam Feeling is back. Yeah, I think that the fond days you now have the ability to move on from him with a get a stronger return. Ultimately. You know, things have certainly eased up for the Minnesota biking schedule wise, right, They've gone through the NFC East and that soft, soft landing spot with the New York Giants, the Washington Football Team and the Philadelphia Eagles back to back to back weeks and it

worked out awesomely. Like, you're still gonna face some tougher secondarias to come. Adam Feeling is going to be back, You're damn right, Frank, I'm using the next ten days and trying to trade him away. Yeah, we can talk about that more next week when Stefon Digg is eligible to be traded in your fantasy league. We can kind of figure out which players to target. Greg I had a tweet last night drink again, talking about my Twitter

this is the this is the Frank Twitter Show. Apparently most I didn't really I didn't expect this to kind of blow out the way it did. I tweeted out about Terry McLaurin. He was dominating it in the first half. If you watched that game, he was getting whatever he wanted against Xavier Rhodes did not have a single catch in the second half because Dwayne Haskins took over. And I tweeted out that if Dwayne Haskins is the quarterback moving forward, Terry McLarin is no more than a wide

receiver four. I don't think you can even trust him as as a wide receiver three that you play weekend and week out. I think he would be nothing more than a bye week replacement. If Dwayne Haskins is the quarterback, Bill Callahanna has said when case Keena returns from the concussion, he is the quarterback still, and you can see why. Every time in Dwayne Haskins plays he looks awful. It's not just against the Vikings defense is pretty good. I

mean it's against the Giants defense. That's not like Case Keenum against the same defense was having success in the first it was no issue and Terry McLarin on that interception for DYINGE. Haskins was wide open, wide open, and Hashkins just airmailed it. And then the Vikings do what they did master They played keep away for an entire fourth, entire fourth quarter, and that was it from Washington. Dwayne Haskins has looked lost. He does not look comfortable. Guys

do what they were doing, jacking Danny dvs. How about this Greg to two weeks in a row. We're excited that Ryan Tannehill took over for the because he can get the ball to his receivers. And now Case Keenan, we're rooting for Case Keenen to come back so that we can have relevance for Terry McLaurin be fine as well. Let's go with Case Keena. We'll take a Bregg, we'll come back, we'll start a preview everything else from this Sunday. I'll have to come with e Y and Frank. I'm Gregg.

go further? Before baseball season began, favorite sports sport. Yeah, Frank the Closer and I all had a did a made uh proven having wins the wind totals for each and every team, and we went down the list and we went over or under every team's win totals and we bet a baseball players shirt to the winner. And Frank with all good years. Yeah, we did all have good years. It was pretty surprising. I think I hit on like twenty two out of thirty. I think you

were like just behind that as well. So maybe that's something that we should look into moving forward betting baseball futures, specifically when it comes to the team totals though wins. We did well, man, you you were impressed with all of us, so uhbody gets lucky. Ever, so last year, last week, Frank uh told us what he wanted, so adventure and I request, what do we got here? So

that's the that's what why thinks about baseball. And we'd like to present to you, Frank, Oh what we got because Frank is a huge Yankee fan, we got we got him a Cleveland Indians player shirt. Let's go fifty seven, not justin man, Shane Bieber, Shane Bieber, not justin Cleveland Indians players, weekend player jersey and enjoy Frankie. Thanks, you got it man. Let's so let's do it for Let's Super Basketball too. Maybe I'll win that. Well, that's season.

Are we started too late? I think we tried, we were gonna do that. Maybe we're going to do that. We do it. I don't think we did well on all right, let's get into this Sunday and let me begin. We talked about Cleveland Indians. Let's talk about Cleveland, Browns, Cleveland and New England. As I said on yesterday's program, Jarvis Landry guaranteed victory. Quickly walked it back when he was like, oh crap, but the guaranteed victory. Everybody in

that Patriots locker room knows it. Now it's the Patriots and the Rounds. Frank, did you see shaking out? This is actually a tougher game for me to break down because it's been really hard for me to read both the Patriots and the Browns all season long. I'll start on the brown side. Obviously, you're starting Nick Chubb, and I think coming out of the by the best recipe for success here for the Cleveland Browns would be to ride Nick Chubb, give him twenty to twenty five touches

in this game, maybe even more than that. You know, just keep the New England Patriots offense off the field, do not try and attack this secondary, Do not trying and have Baker hold onto the ball and make plays down the field with Odell Beckham. Ride Nick Chubb, and then ride him some more. So obviously we're using Nick

Chubb here in the spot. Odell Beckham. Look going up against Stephon Gilmore, one of you know, probably the toughest secondary in the NFL right now, one of the toughest secondaries since And I heard people talking about this downstairs the legion of boom the Seattle Seahawks. I think to me, Odell Beckham is a wide receiver to He's not the top twelve, you know, top five wide receiver you were drafting to be. But for me, he's still a top

top twenty wide receiver. He's a wide receiver too, And I think in most instances it's gonna be hard to get away from Odell Beckham. And I don't know, if you know, maybe we have to do a little bit of ripping the name off the back of the jersey here in this matchup Greg, but I'm probably still going back to Odell Beckham here. Um and Jarvis Landry looked low end wide receiver three don't really want to attack this, uh, this Patriots defense much. And then on the Patriots side,

I think Sony Michelle is in a good spot. The Cleveland Browns are twenty five and run defense dv away so far this season, Tony Michelle is getting all the work inside of the red zone. I think he leads the NFL in rushing attempts inside of the tenant. He has like nineteen rushing attempts already. He has that La Garrett Blunt role from a couple of years ago when Blunt scored like twenty touchdowns. Tony Michelle has that role,

So he's a high end RB two for me. I think James White is a low end RB two and PPR League's Julian Edelman he's questionable with a chess injury. He's going to play. Uh, he's a wide receiver to Mohammed's new I kind of really want to take away and see approach. I want to see how they use him here wouldn't be It would surprise me if they kind of try to force feed him a little bit, kind of like they did with Antonio Brown his first game.

But honestly, Denzel Ward and Greedy Williams are back. I want to take away and see approach when it comes to Mohammed sanw makes sense to me. Mohammed San, you I don't think you can just rush into that into that one, but all the normal players you play for New England, you're gonna do it. Where's James White on

your running back rankings this week? So I have James White and my half point pp are running back rankings as my RB five, So he's right on that precipice as low and R B two high in flex option right r B twenty five this week for James white e y up. Next it's Tennessee and Tampa Bay. Let's go down to Nashville where this one it takes place. For Tennessee, it's week two of the Ryan Tannehill era. What do we expect? Yeah, I think Tanna Hill is

going to have a good game. Um, Everyone every quarterback that's played Tampa Bay has had a good game. I don't think Tannehill will be any difference. The offense look completely different. I think Derrick Henry scores a touchdown. Uh. And he's a for sure start has been all year. Uh. And I think Corey Davis is gonna show up again. Like I said, every quarterback that has played Tampa Bay has had a great day and uh and I think Tannehill will also continue that. I think it will be

three plus yards for him. Corey Davis is the number one there. I do believe that A J. Brown will get involved and I think even John new Smith has a chance to score a touchdown here. For me, you look at this Tennessee team, A lot of people are buying back in it to Corey Davis. In a J. Brown are you I never left. I have them both inside my top thirty six. I have Corey Davis is a high end wide receiver. Three love both of them for DFS as well. On Vandal they're only if you're

choosing between one. I would still lead Corey Davis because he does play more snaps, he does run more routes than a J. Brown. At this time, I agree with E Y. I like John new Smith as a streaming tight end if you're desperate this week. When it comes to Derrick Henry, he's still inside my top twelve just because of volume. But I think you have to keep your expect aations realistic because he's going up against the Bucks, who are allowing just two point seven two yards per

carry to opposing running backs. Todd Bowls completely selling out for the run right now, and he's done a great job of stopping the run, but ultimately he's getting beat through the air a ton. So when it comes to DFS, I think Derrick Henry is probably a fade for me this week, Craig, Derreck Henry a fade for you against

Tampa Bay. Now on the Tampa Bay side of things, O J. Howard has been ruled out so a lot of people we heard ven you're talking about on the Frenzy a little while ago, a lot of players are picking up Cameron Brad and starting because hey, let's throw a dart at to tight end. Why not? He's camera

rate eight tight end one for you this week, Frank. Yeah, I moved them up to tight end ten, which might be aggressive, but if you look at other players in that range, Eric Ebron, Jimmy Graham, T J. Hockenson, how reliable are those tight ends either? So look, we understand it's a dart throw a lot of the times with these streaming tight ends, and I think with O. J. Howard out while you know he was only getting two, three, four targets a game, those are gonna go Cameron Braid's

way now. And we mentioned this either yesterday or the day before. The Titans are allowing the ninth most fantasy points to opposing tight end. So I like Cameron Braid as a streaming tight end as well. I like him more than John hu Smith actually dropped Chris Herndon in one league Greg to pick up Cameron Braid for the spot because I do think that it's a pretty good one when it comes to everyone else on this team. You're obviously starting your your bucks wide receivers. I have

Jameis Winston as my QB twelve. Um, I kind of want to see how they utilize Ronald Jones and Peyton Barbera coming out of the bye I think both guys are I think Ronald Jones more so is a low end flex option, but I don't really feel great about either. Frankie, our own very young, had a tight end question that let me go with Cameron right right? Would you rather start Cameron Rate this week or in again that we do expect to be high scoring between the Lions and

the Giants. Would you rather start t J. Hockenson? How cons iter rate for you? Yeah? So I have Bred as my tight end ten. I have t J. Hockenson as my tight end thirteen, so they are very close. But I moved Cameron Bright ahead of him again, good matchup. I think the opportunity will be there for him this week. Perfect for you, Ui, I told you to start Hawks, so good luck. Yeah, that's what you guys normally do. Thanks guys, that's where we're a year for. Let's be

one on the lines and the Giants. Frank before we hit the break. As I said, I do expect to be high scoring. I like the over um in this game. The Giants coming off to tough loss or three tough losses here to Minnesota, UH, New England and Arizona. They go into Detroit, they're very very heavy underdogs and Detroit tough loss at home last week to Minnesota and last minister played all the NFC seams. I also played Detroit last week as well. What do you think about this game?

Start off on the Lions side of things. I think it's, you know, gonna be hard to get away from pretty much everybody. I like Marvin Jones again this week, coming off a game where he scored four touchdowns. Fantasy points are to be had against this giant secondary. I think Kenny Gollady bounces back as well. I like both of those guys for DFS. Speaking of DFS, Ti Johnson only fifty dollars on FanDuel this week. Nobody knows, you know

how this running back. You know this backfield is going to break down between Ty Johnson and j D. Mcmick. I think we see a similar breakdown to what we saw last week. I think we see sixty to sixty five percent of the snaps and the work go towards Ti Johnson. He's only on Fandel, so I like him as a value. J D. Mckissic. I think gets you know, seven to eight touches as well. He is a bye week replacement in PPR leagues as a flex option as well. I like Stafford Greg. I have Stafford ranked as my

QB four on the week. He has been performing really well this year. Um and against that giant secondary again, I like him. Like the Lions defense as a stream as well. Uh Sae Kwon Barclay. I think it's gonna eat The Lions haven't been able to stop anybody on the ground behind the Golden Tate revenge game this week. Yeah, he's inside my top twenty four and you go like top twenty four wide receiver, he's Golden Tate. We'll take a break, we'll continue on going through everything he needs

to know. We ate this Sunday here the FFS. I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire. Dunk on your NBA DFS competition with Daily Rodal dot com and dominate on Fandel and f Kings this season.

You guys are talking about it inside of our YouTube chat. And that is the fact that Patrick Mahomes has been ruled out for Sunday night, although Devontay Adams has not. Green May, Kansas City. I know when the schedule came out this is one that we circle Sunday Night Football that we were super excited about.

Lost a little bit of It's lost with potentially no Davontay Adams and with no Patrick Mahomes, but still should be a good one on in the night. Yeah, it should be a good one. I think Andy Reid, with all the time he was given coming all Thursday Night football, is gonna get the most out of Matt More that he can. And I think that Loshawn McCoy is gonna be in play here as well. I understand that the Chiefs have not been a good run blocking team so

far this year. Their offensive line is getting healthier, but Losa McCoy for me, is a high end flex option because the Packers cannot stop the run right now there nineteen and run defense d v A way. We just saw Josh Jacobs, a banged up Josh Jacobs run for over a hundred yards against him. The Packers are learning four point nine nine yards per carry two opposing running backs so far this season. That is tied for the most in the NFL. So I do think Lashawn McCoy

is a play. Obviously, if you own entire you killing Travis Kelsey you're getting those guys in there. Even with Matt Moore as the quarterback. You can use Matt More in super flex leagues the Packers secondary. While we think it's gonna be good for years to come to have some good young players, Greg, they've been susceptible to the past the past couple of weeks as well, so in super flex leagues, do not shy away from Matt More. On the other side of things, it's a good matchup

for both Aaron Jones and Jamal Williams. The thing is, we don't know how much work Jamal Williams is going to get, so I think he's in play as a low end flex option. But I'm still really banking on Aaron Jones seeing six to sixty five percent of the snaps and the same amount of the work as well, going up against the Chiefs defense that cannot stop the run, Greg, I don't think that Davante Adams is going to play in this game. So everyone's gonna ask, well, do we

start Geronimo Allison? Do we start Marcus Valdes Scantling Alan Lazard. Surprisingly, the Chiefs defense has actually been really good against the past this yere they are fourth in past defense DV away Greg, So I don't know that I really want to target any of the Packers wide receivers in the spot. Yes, Aaron Rodgers is gonna get some of his numbers, but I think again, like we saw last week, he's gonna spread the ball around. I think Jimmy Graham is a

low end tight end one. The Chiefs have struggled against tight ends, but they have been pretty good against wide receivers. So I guess the obvious questions, are you not waiting for Davante adamson. If you're Davante Adams owner and you are an MVS guy, you don't have Geronimo Allison? What do you do? As of now, I am expecting Davanta Adams not to play, so in the league's I own him? Which are you know? I played in an NFFC High stakes main event league, seventeen dollar buying Davanta Adams with

my first round pick. As of now, Greg, he is not in my lineup, and even if he's not ruled out going into Sunday morning the early games, I'm still not gonna have them in my lineup because I don't expect him to play. Personally, he was out on the field jogging today, but I don't think that's gonna be enough for him to get on the field. I think week nine we were probably we see Dvante Adams back. How have your expectations been been tempered if at all?

Without Patrick Mahomes in a lot of for Kansas City when it comes to Travis Kelsey Entyreek Hill, I mean they're tempered quite back like. Look, I mean this is uh, We're talking about probably the best quarterback physically, the best quarterback in the league. Mahomes is doing things that have never been done. He is a generational guy. This is the guy they'll talk about in twenty years. Matt Moore not the same guy. Um. I think he's gonna be serviceable.

I think, like I agree with what Frank said. I think Andy Reid will have him coached up, They'll have a game plan in place. I think they will lean more on the run and short passes, and I think this could be, you know, a decent game for Kelsey. The Green Bay defense has been pretty good, especially with pressuring quarterbacks, so I feel like quick passes to the tight end to the running backs could be a way that Kansas City goes so I mean, if you have

Kelsey and your team, you're playing him. I mean like you drafted him in the first or second round like a lunatic. So you have to start him. And if it makes you feel better about starting both of those guys, Greg based on Matt Moore's target distribution in that Thursday Night game, both Travis Kelsey and Tyree Kill led the team with five targets each. So he is still going to lead on those guys. He has to. Those are the talent of the guys. And you start, do you start?

Sammy Watkins looks like he's gonna play. He's fully, you know, he's practicing it full. Where's in your rankings? He's outside my top thirty six. I asked you the question and you kind of flipped it back on me. We're Sammy Watkins in your rankings. I have him out time my top forty eight. So clearly not all right? Uh, New Orleans and Arizona. I know a lot of people are looking forward to this one our own game. Marancy loves

Arizona with the points in this game. We're still not sure on Drew Brees status, if it'll be him or Teddy Bridgewater. Why would he play? Greg, why are we doing this? I'm with you, But it does look like Alvin Camaro will be back. It does not look like Jared Cook will be back. So e Y asked us a few moments ago about Cameron Brad versus um T J. Hockinson. I've been saying, Josh Hill all week long, the Cardinals have allowed a tight end to score touchdown in every

game in this season. Why not again, Josh Hill. I'm with you, Greg, I've been ranking Josh Ill like Jared Cook is not gonna play. He's my tight end fourteen. So really he's after Hawkins and he's after break. He's right in that mix. I asked you this morning, Cameron Braid versus Josh Hillio said, Josh Hill. Did I say that? Yes? Well that was before how to rule that? No? But I do like both of them. I don't really think that there's a wrong a wrong answer, right, Like it's

dart throws anyway. Right when it comes to the tight ends that we're we're talking about in this range day are tight ends dreams and you know one of these A few of these guys are gonna hit, but a lot of them are not. But I think bred is in a good spot. I think he's gonna see you know, anywhere from five to seven targets. The tight ends struggle. The Titans struggle against tight ends, and the so did

the Cardinals. So I think Josh Hill. He scored a touchdown last week that was without Jared Cook, he still only saw three targets. So that's why I am somewhat tempering my expectations. I think Josh Hill a really good DFS play, someone that you could punt on. Both him and Cameron Braid they're super cheap. But you're right. The Cardinals have allowed a touchdown to be scored to tight ends in every game but one, and Josh Hill coming off a game where he just scored a touchdown, I

think he's gonna be in play once again. All Right, we'll see what happens with New Orleans. We'll see who they go with at the quarterback position. Uh for Arizona, do you have any worry e y on Christian Kirk's availability. I was heard a think to the any saying that it does seem like he has a good possibility to play. They haven't ruled him in or out yet, but they're saying there is a possibility that he will play, so you're just gonna have to keep an eye on it.

And and David Johnson, if I was a guest, I would guess that he's not going to play, and if he does, you'll be very very limited, So uh prepared for that. Yeah, Greg, we have to talk about this. It's really both running back situations. It's David Johnson and Chase Edmonds. And then you know Alvin Kamara is gonna be back, but he's been practicing on a limited basis.

Let's Tavias Murray looked really good and they have the buy next week, So you really have to ask yourself, realistically, how much are the Saints going to use Alvin Kamar in this game? They have a by coming up, they don't really have to lean on right point their ten and a half point favorites. Let's Havevius Murray just ran all over the Chicago Bears, who are supposed to be a great run defense. Maybe not so much anymore without a Chem Hicks, but I think that we probably still

see a good amount of Latavius Murray. Now. I had him ranked as a top fifteen running back earlier in the week because I didn't think Kamara was gonna play. But with Kamara in there, I probably downgrade Latavius Murray to a high end flex option. And I think if you own Alvin Kamara, are you really gonna bench him? Or do you think you just have to throw him in there because he's gonna play. What if it's a David Johnson situation like last so that was gonna ask you,

it's a possibility. What do you what do you do in most of those scenarios with David Johnson if he's active this week and Alvin Camara when he's so frustrating, Why would David Johnson be active for this game? When they signed to running backs and Chase Edmonds just ran as well as he did. This offensive line is actually playing better the past couple of weeks. I don't really

know what the Arizona Cardinals are thinking. And of course it was they're awesome GM Greg who came out, Steve Kin who came out and said, oh well, David Johnson still has a chance to play. He's a true game time decisions like what are we doing? Man? You let this guy rest up? You just you spend so much money on it from ever get healthy I think that's more of a like a coach speak, like, is it like, oh so we don't so the Saints don't know what to prepare for? Is that? Is that what it is?

I own both of them in one league as of right now, I have Chase Edmonds in my lineup. I don't have David Johnson in my lineup. And that's on a team where I also have Ty Johnson. I'm starting Ty Johnson over David Johnson. I mean, this is what we're talking about in Week eight of the fantasy football season. Are you starting David Johnson? Oh at all? Greg? I mean I have Frank Gore? And are you starting Frank Gore over David Johnson if he's active? How do you

do it? How do you do it? Frankie? How do you mention defense is actually good? So? Like, what are we looking at five to ten touches from David Johnson against a good Saints run defense? Okay, well let me ask this with Chase Edmonds. Then in a league that we share together, we have Chase Edmonds, we have James White, we have Frank Gore. Start two of them, Chase ed Men's, James White and Frank core team. Yeah, I'm benching Frank Gore. So I mean, right right now, if David Johnson plays,

here's how all phrases. If David Johnson plays, I still think Chase Edmonds is a lowand RB two high end flex. I don't want to use David Johnson even if he plays. I mean, that's what it comes down to. I don't know how effective he's gonna be. It's a tough matchup. I don't know how much you're gonna use him. It might just be a decoy again like last week. Uh, I got burned by him. I don't want David Johnson in my lineup when it comes to the same situation.

If Kamara plays, I am going to use him because he can be that efficient where if he only touches the ball ten times, he can still be really good to But Tavius Murray to me is now a high

inflex option. That's how That's how I'm approaching it. And if David Johnson is ruled out on Sunday, Chase Edmonds to me is a top fifteen running back, even if it's again even with against New Orleans against New Orleans, Yes, all right, the Rams and Cincinnati e y they kick off from London one pm start Rams on the road, heavy favorite Jarry Goff. This fight good numbers last week, doesn't really look good. What do you expect that at

goth this week? Yeah, I think he'll bounce back. I mean looking if you want to get right on offense. He played the Cincinnati Bengals especially, a guy that I'm really excited about this week is Todd Gurley. Cincinnati hasn't been able to stop anybody on the ground. Uh, Todd Gurley. Look at I mean he's not He's not productive like he was. But I don't think it has anything to do with Todd Gurley or is arthritic knee or any

of the other nonsense. He's getting a decent amount of work, He's looked decent, but he's being tackled or touched in the backfield before he even gets to the line of scrimmage. Is an offensive line thing, it's a scheme thing. But I think Gurley will be very good this week. Andy Dalton looks like, oh my god, what a mess. I mean he is just you have these these weeks where

you're like, many he's really looking good. I mean, maybe he's turned things around and then he has another week where it looks like he doesn't know how to play football. I'm not interested in any of the Bengals. Mixing is the biggest disappointment for me this year. He's been rotten.

Rotten is the right word. We come back, Frank. I want to get your opinion on these Bangles wide receivers and know Alex Erickson was to pick up on in tastement the Lantus first for a while now, and you can opine on Joe Mixon how he has struggled as well. Stick around. We have a lot more to come, just twenty or so minutes to do it. We go around the league here the BFS. I want to be the

Only get e y s questions answered, just to make sure we get to them, because the most important questions, because there is so their best friend obviously my BFF for life. Alright, Hockinson and Bread we talked about that already. The other questions are in regards to Robbie Anderson versus Mike Williams. So let's break that

those games down. It's the Los Angeles Chargers in Chicago this week. It's a weird matchup Chargers and Bears. Mike Williams a lot of his value. Frankie may come if Keenan Allen plays or not. He injured his hamstring yesterday, I believe stretched today. I don't know what his practice designation was. A true game time decision, True game time decision. Nevertheless, I expect to see more of Mike Williams and more of Austin Ekeler for the Chargers this week. Have they

seen this one day shaving out? Yeah? Just to answer that question, I would go with Mike Williams over Robbie Anderson, just based on Keenan Allen b banged up right now. The Chargers running back situation is just a mess right now. I've said all week, I think that if Anthony Lynn has any ounce of intelligence, he will start to use Austin Ekeln more. He just has no choice. I mean, Love and Gordon has looked like a slug. This Charger's offensive line is beat up. They cannot run between the tackles.

The way to attack opposing defenses right now is using the short passing game as an extension of the run game. We saw the Detroit Lions do that for years, and I think that, you know, the Chargers should move over to that. And the Bears are allowing seven and a half receptions to running backs per game this season. That is the second most in the NFL. So I like Alston Ekeler quite a bit this week, Greg. I have him as a top twenty four running back in PPR leagues.

I have Melvin Gordon as a I have him as a flex play still because the Bears run defense has been falling about falling apart without a cheam picks. I mean, they've allowed six rushing touchdowns over their last three games and over the past month, they're allowing the most fantasy points opposing running backs, So Lovin Gordon is still a flex play for me. I do like Austin Ekeler quite a bit. I'm hoping that they kind of learned from their mistakes Gregg and get him more involved. Mike Williams

for me, is a wide receiver. Three he and and Allen. You're gonna have to pay attention. I believe this is a later game, so you're gonna have to have either someone in this game or someone later on. Uh it's one o'clock game, all right, so we'll note early on. But yeah, if if keenan Allen's out, Mike Williams moves up to a high and wide receiver three low and wide receiver to other than Alan Robinson. Are there any other Bears that you would start? Uh? Not unless I'm desperate.

I think Tarik Cohen, you know in PPR leagues, as a bye week replacement. He's been seeing a ton of targets. I think he had like nine receptions last week only for like nineteen yards. So he's not going anywhere with it. Uh, And look, you can run on the Chargers defense, but I don't really want to go back to David Montgomery. I kind of want to see him do it another week before I jump back in on David Montgomery. But yeah, I mean those are only if you're desperate. Those are

Those are by week fillings for me. E why we gave you the Mike Williams breakdown. Now, let's get to Robbie Anderson. Anderson, who's on the trade block everything we've heard this week, he goes into Jacksonville with the rest of the Jets to take on the Jaguars. To me, I'm looking at this spot for the Jets as a bit of a bounce back, Like they got slaughtered this past week against the Patriots embarrassingly, So I think there're a lot better this week in Jacksonville. I don't hate

Robbie Anderson either. How do you see this one breaking down? Yes, Sam Donald, I think has a bounce back game. Jacksonville is not the same defense that they used to be, uh sans um Jalen Ramsey. So I mean there are there are decent defense, don't get me wrong, But I think the Jets have something to prove. They looked absolutely horrific um, and I think they're going to bounce back this year there this week, Robbie answer, Anderson is obviously

a boomer bust. I mean he could He's a guy that could get you twenty five points or you could get two points or zero for for all that matters. Um Crowder, I think will be the receptions guy for sure, and that will depend on if Herndon plays. I don't know. I haven't heard much on that, but I think Robby Anderson has a bounce back game. I believe Donald will be looking to score some touchdowns, run the score up a bit. Uh. Jacksonville's offense is decent, so but I

think the Jets are gonna show up. Whether they win or not. Who geez. I don't know. That all depends on Donald, but I think he's the real deal. Terrible week last week, Um, but I think he bounces back. Yeah. I like both running backs in this spot a lot as well. Greg. You look at Levian Bell going up against the Jaguars there twenty seven and Run Defense TV away, They're all having four point eight seven yards were carried to opposing running backs. So in DFS, you know people

might be looking at his Jets offense. I don't want anything to do with him. I'm jumping back in on Levian Bell when it comes to Leonard for Nett, it is a tougher matchup. The Jets have been good against running backs, but he's just seeing so much volume. You can't get away from that right now. DJ H Hark, do do do? Do? Do? Do do? Going up against Tremaine Johnson on the outside, and look, this guy is just not putting forth any effort. He's getting paid like

seventy two million dollars. There you go. I'm not gonna sing along. We've got too much to get to you. But I do like d J Chark in this matchup against Tremaine Johnson. D D. Westbrook is in play as well, assuming that he plays. He is dealing with his shoulder injury. He's questionable. Yeah, absolutely have been there for D. D. Westbrook. So Robbie Anderson versus Mike Williams, what do you do? Yeah, it's close. Robbie does have eight targets in back to

back games. Personally, I do lean Mike Williams, though with Keenan Allen banged up and Keenan Allen hasn't really been doing much. Mike Williams has not scored a touchdown this year. He scored ten touchdowns last year. I think he gets back in the end zone this week. I think some positive touchdown regression is coming from Mike Wake this time we're on the same side. I also take Mike Williams

over Robbie Anderson. E Y asked this question last week, got it wrong, Tom Brady versus Aaron Rodgers, which quarterback to your start? Yeah, I'm gonna go with Aaron Rodgers against Kansas City. There understand that the past defense has played better, but Aaron Rodgers is on a role right now. And this Patriots offense look as great as they are right now, as great as you know, they're undefeated. A

lot of it has been because of the defense. Tom Brady was, you know, deflecting a lot of questions asked about the offense after the game. He did not see, seemed pleased with them. And the Browns defense has actually played really well against the passes here and that was without Denzel Award and without Greedy Williams so far this year. Um, you know they're there twenty one and past defense tv O A, but you know they've actually limited a lot of passing games. Um, And I think with Greedy Williams

and Denzel Award back. It's gonna be some tough sledding for Tom Brady. He's you know, he's still a top twelve quarterback for me. But if I'm choosing between those two, uh, it's Aaron Rodgers. E y, all your questions answered, We're here for it was a smile, all right. The Atlanta Falcons are at home facing off against the Seattle Seahawk.

Matt Ryan practiced today. It looks like he'll be ready to go against Seattle, which is certainly good for Calvin Ridley, who we expected a big game in place of Mohammed's new as the number two wide receiver in this Atlanta offense for Seattle, loving Tyler Lockett, loving dk Metcalfs, loving Chris Carson, loving Russell Wilson. And hey, you know what, where's Jacob Hollis there? And there's tight end rankings. Jacob Hollister is right around all these other tight ends that

we've been talking about. No, I have his team seventeen Titans a little bit lower. You know, I don't want to go all in on Jacob Hollister. He did see six targets last week. The Falcons have allowed four touchdowns over their last three games to opposing tight ends. So again he's you know, Hollister's in that mix, but I still would rather have Bread and Josh Hill at streaming

tight ends ahead of him. When it comes to the Seattle Seahawks passing attack, yes, it's a good matchup Greg, but really only if Matt Ryan plays, Because if Matt Shaw plays, I think that this is going to be a one sided affair. And we've seen that in games

where the Seahawks get up, they're just gonna run. The games where Russell Wilson has a little bit of back and forth with with an opposing team, that's where we can get those spike weeks, those upside weeks from Russell Wilson, from Tyler Lockett, from DK Metcalf, And it is a good match up against the Falcon secondary. But if Matt Shaw plays, this game is not going to be competitive. And I think either way we probably see a lot of Chris Carson. I have Tyler Lockett as a wide receiver. One.

I have DK Metcalf as a high end wide receiver. Three. Again because right now, I don't think Matt Ryan's gonna play Greg, And you know, if Matt schob is in there. I'm not sure how competitive this game is. You're still using Julio Jones regardless DeVonta Freeman. Look, the Falcons cannot run block right now, they cannot run the ball effectively, but they use him in the past game. So in

PPR leagues, DeVonta Freeman is still in RB two. Uh and Calvin Ridley looked, you're hoping that Matt Ryan plays, but again, I don't think it's gonna happen. He's probably more of a loan wide receiver three with Matt Shop as his quarterback. Yeah, probably said secondary is not a good one. I don't start. And if Matt Shop is the quarterback, Seattle Seahawks defenses and play as a stream, no doubt about it. E Y, Buffalo, your other teams

taken on a Philly this week in Orlando. Scandra came out today or yesterday in an interview basically kind of ripped apart the Eagles locked room and their culture and Edward or tweeting out earlier, Hey, let's see, how is galvanize this Eagles team? What do you expect from Philly and Buffalo on Sunday? I mean, he go one of two ways. You mean, this is what happens. These guys are human being. Somebody's call somebody out and see they're

gonna bring them together. It's gonna tear them even further apart. The Philadelphia Eagles are not the team, especially offensively that I think a lot of people thought they were going to be. Um. I really believed in Went. Uh. In a couple of my leagues, I'm actually starting Tannehill over Went because the Buffalo defense has been so good. Um, Buffalo is competitive, They're they're oddly competitive. Alan's gonna give you everything he's got. Frank Gore is somehow the Infinity

Stone still getting things done. John Brown has looked good and this week I think is is a really good start against an atrocious secondary in Philadelphia. But I mean, we've seen this before. They had the guy comes out in the media. We saw it in Minnesota. They're a different team. Now. Maybe this will galvan the Philadelphia Eagles and this will be a highly competitive game. I'm still

believing that the Buffalo Bills will win. Uh And Alan is going to be a top twelve starting quarterback this week. But other than that, I mean, it could go either way. It's going to be a very interesting game, Maorency. If you're downstairs listening, nobody circles the wagons like the Buffalo Bills. E Y, I am with you. This is one of my best bets. I think that this kind of continues to tear apart the Philadelphia Eagles, and they've kind of

been they've they've showed signs recently. Greg They've allowed over three d rushing yards over the past two weeks. Normally they pride themselves in their run defense. Now they're not stopping the run and their secondary has been giving up big plays all season. So you know, Frank Gore and Devin Singletary could get back on track here based on what the Eagles have allowed the past couple of weeks. And I think that John Brown is in a good spot to have him as a you know, top twenty

wide receiver this week. So you like John Brown. Cole Beasley, I think it's a bye week fill in as well against his secondary scored a touchdown last week. Uh, Carson Wentz, I'm with you, e y. I have Tannehill ranked over Parson Wentz this week. And when you're talking about the Philadelphia tight ends, the Bills are allowing the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends this year. They allowed the fewest fantasy points to opposing tight ends last year. That's

a trend. That's something that you can actually actually, you know, hang your hang your hat on here. I think that zach Ertz is in for a tough spot here. Alshon Jeffrey going up against tre Davious White. I really don't feel good about the Eagles all around here, Greg. I mean, maybe Jordan Howard can have some success. I think the way to attack the Bills is by running the football. But ultimately I think that I'm looking at the Bills here again as the best bet. I like Josh Allen

as a top ten quarterback as well. All Right, a couple more games we want to get to before we wrap up. It's the Houston Texans. Uh. They are facing off against Oakland. Is a really big spot for DeShawn Watson to go off in DFS. I love stacking Watson, Kenny Stills, Yeah, absolutely, and Stills is super cheap. I like getting de Hop in there. You could stack all three of these guys going up against the Oakland defense.

They just got shredded by Green Bay they allowed Aaron Rodgers to throw for four twenty nine yards five touchdowns. The wide receiver's absolutely eight in that game. So I love Kenny Stills this week. He's the top twenty wide receiver for me. DeAndre Hopkins for DFS. If you can get him in there, he's gonna be talking, obviously, but I think he's in store for a big game as well. On the other side, Greg, looks like Tyroll Williams is gonna go. The Houston Texans secondary could be had as well.

I kind of like Tyroll Williams is a low end wide receiver. Three. He's been practicing with the team. Looks like he's gonna be good to go. Darren Waller obviously you're getting him in your lineup, but the DFS price has caught up to him. He's very expensive this week. Greg, pay attention to Josh Jacobs. A lot of points expected in this game, but he is truly questionable dealing with that shoulder injury. Do you want to hit on e y. I want to make sure we get to Indianapolis and

Denver ja Kobe Broussette going up against Joe Flacco. Courtland's Sulton the number one wide receiver with Denver. I love him this week as well. Dave Shawn Hamilton could be sneaky too. Yeah, he could catch a bunch of balls. I mean we know that that Joe Flacco loves to check down, loves to throw the ball short. That's Dashawan Hamilton's job, that's his role, that's what he's been before. Emmanuel Sanders was kind of that guy. He's gone. Now.

What I am worried about, what I'm curious to see is is I know that Sanders would draw number one attention sometimes, so will Sutton be able to He's obviously the number one there, so will he be able to perform? My answer is yes, and Sutton top twelve wide receiver go back to the Broncos running backs as well, both inside of my top twenty four anything with San Francisco in Carolina, Frank oh Man not enough time, Greg Uh, I would avoid the Carolina Panthers wide receivers. I would

avoid Emmanuel Sanders as well. I do like Keevin Coleman as a high n RB two. Obviously you're getting Kiddle in CMC in there for very young and Frank Damvile. My name is Greg sus but thank you so much for watching. Good luck and week A. We'll see him Monday. We hope I want to be the next Daily Fantasy Millionaire.

What happens? Here's what you missed on the BFS. Just like we all expected a barn Burner Vikings and Washington Vikings and the Washington football team came through exactly how we expected them. And to ey, what's happening, buddy. Not not the greatest football game, but I mean football. Nonetheless, I was flipping around watching some watching from hockey, watching some football. It was a good night. It was a

good night, but I do have bad news. Playing in the w w W League playing miss he had Delvin Cook and somehow Bailey the kicker and he's up on me forty one point with two players. We played Dalvin Cook as well, Frank, Yeah, I played. I played him in five of my nine leagues. So that's that's a good that's a good way to go into the weekends. So unlucky. Man's unbelievable. I played, uh, the Patriots, I think it was Week two and they, well, they played Miami.

I played them in eight of the my nine leagues. About that happening, it's so remote. I'm not a math guy, but like that, that is insane. Dalvin Cook now has had a touchdown in every game but one so far this year. He has nine rushing touchdowns in eight games. He's just absolutely amazing, you know, and a lot of

people thought this could have happened, right. We all knew that, you know, going at the turn, he's he's this year's Christian McCaffrey because McAffrey was going out a similar spot last season at that one to turn Dalvin Cook, we all knew what the upside was. The Only reason you got the discount on him was because of the injury risk. But we can we see now, look, as long as this guy is healthy, the offensive line has improved this year as well. They did invest in that in the

off season. They invested in in the draft as well. They bring in Garrett Bradbury. The offensive line is playing well. Dalvin Cook one of the most electric running backs in the league right now. So if you drafted him on that turn or in the second round, or you know you reached on him in the first round, it is working out for you right now. Greg he is this year's Christian McCaffrey. Absolutely. He is the guy that leads you to victory each and every week. As you mentioned,

score touchdown in every game but one this season. He has been a rock star. The offense is simply built around Dalvin Cook and Stefon Diggs. He got his another seven gadgets for over all hundred and forty yards, burning Josh Norman. The only negative Stevon Diggs was that early first quarter fumble where he was trying to change the field the head towards the end zone. Ultimately he fumbles, but that was just a blip on the radar. Another really good night e y from Stefon Diggs. Yeah, Diggs

looked awesome. I mean, this is the guy that that I think most of us thought he was going to be, uh, this is the guy that you know, people drafted him high, and I would imagine that a lot of people have have moved on from him and are probably pretty sad

about that. So, yeah, Diggs looked awesome. Yeah, I tweeted that last night as well, just that I hope after that game against the Eagles where he blew up for a hundred and sixty seven yards and three touchdowns, that you didn't just sell this guy off for anything that you can. I mean, I was one of those that was actually trying, but nobody wanted him, so I just kind of stuck around and was like, all right, well,

I'm gonna ride this out. This is now three weeks in a row that he has given us a hundred and forty three receiving yards or more. How about this, two weeks in a row he's had exactly one d and four three receiving yards. So that's weird. On seven receptions two three games in a row at least seven receptions, two games in a row, exactly one receiving yards, just very odd. Four of the last five games he's had

over a hundred receiving yards. So it looks like Stefon Digg is getting back to the player we thought that he could be
