Everything Just Changed - Week 5 Fantasy Football

This was the most impactful Sunday that we had so far this year. And as you could tell, everything has changed.

Now, starting with the Minnesota Vikings, I am very sorry if you started Jaylen Ward in this game on the West Coast. Obviously, the reports early on were that he was going to play. He ends up missing this one. But the Vikings offense, not much has changed, right? If you go ahead and you look at the Jordan Mason usage, he had 19 opportunities. The fantasy points weren't exactly there because this wasn't the right game environment for him. The Minnesota Vikings were trailing this game from effectively start to finish. And we know Jordan Mason, his skill set's not really as a receiver, even though he did have three receptions in this contest. However, Jordan Mason remains a must-art running back every week going into the future. You have no Aaron Jones. Nothing to really discuss with Jefferson. If you started him, you're finally happy that you get this blowup. Could have been better with the receiving touchdown. Jordan Addison, however, about had the longest receiving touchdown of his career if he just had been working on sprints a little bit more in the offseason. Gets tackled down, I want to say, at about the 2yd line. Regardless, Addison remains a viable flex play. I started TJ Hawinson this week and sadly benched Dallas Goddard, who we'll get to later on. Um, lucky enough, I'm still going to be 4-0 anyway. I am still by far and away the best team in my league. #the king lives. #team of destiny. Um, Hawinson, I don't want to start him going into the future. I probably end up starting Dallas. If anything, I feel very lucky that we even got about eight fantasy points, but not much changed with the Minnesota Vikings. It would be very nice if we could eventually have good quarterback play here.

Now, going over and looking at what we have with the Pittsburgh Steelers, I owe everybody here an apology. I thought that Kenneth Gainwell was not one of the premium handcuff running backs this year. I had seen teams on the live stream, which we were doing every single day. Of course, just subscribe to the channel. We're answering questions every single day on the stream, reviewing fantasy football teams, and I can mess up your team like I did to a couple people where I told them, "Oh, don't roster Kenneth Gainwell. Go pick up Tyler Algier. Go pick up Belle Tutin instead. These running backs have more upside if the starter would go down in front of them." Well, Jaylen Warren goes down and Kenneth Gainwell tells me that I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about. The dude has six receptions, 35 receiving yards, almost 10 points just as a receiver. Then he almost goes for a 100 rushing yards and multiple rushing touchdowns. You actually almost had a third rushing touchdown here as well for Kenneth Gainwell. So Gainwell looks like he is a mustart running back every single week. You have no Jaylen Warren. The Caleb Johnson usage wasn't even really there. He had some involvement at the very end of the game. He had a drop early on. Did not look good. So, Caleb Johnson clearly is not the backup. It's clearly Kenneth Gainwell. And Caleb is no threat whatsoever.

Going over looking at the receivers. I started DK Mechaf. If you were hanging out with me in the live stream this morning, you know, we were celebrating that long DK Mechaf receiving touchdown. Went for 80 yards and oh my gosh, it felt good. I still don't feel super confident with DK Mechaf though. I still view him as a wide receiver three going into the future. While this was a great game from the Pittsburgh Steelers, realistically these Europe games are always a little bit weird and Medaf only had five targets. Looking at the tight end usage, you can see this chart from PFF, which is showing that Darnell Washington is just skyrocketing at the moment with his snaps, which probably means Johnny Smith is droppable because this isn't a great offense and I don't want to tie it into committee.

Now, going over and looking at what we have with the Los Angeles Chargers, it can't get any better than it's been so far this year. Obviously, 4-0 in my main fantasy football league in the flock league. And on top of that, the player I bet everything on, the player we went all in on, Quinton Johnston, as the wide receiver, 79 in underdog drafts, is clearly this year's league winner. He is the guy that's gonna win me hundreds of thousands in tournaments just like Josh Jacobs did a couple years back for us on Underdog Fantasy and I couldn't be more grateful. I have recently moved Quinton Johnston ahead of Lad McConi in my rest of season rankings. Lad Manki looks like a borderline flex play now four weeks in where Quinton Johnston dominates volume, receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns, the whole nine yards. Quinton Johnston is the dude. He is the wide receiver one in Los Angeles. It is not Lad McConi and we can officially make that statement and it feels so good to say. Now Keenan Allen I do have their realistically all these guys are ranked back to back to back. I I can't say that Quinton Johnson's going to continue to dominate the way that he has even though I love it. Amari and Hampton great game. Look at the usage for Amari and Hampton. Um you can see with this little chart from PFF it is insane. The dude has 56 out of 63 potential snaps. Amari Hampton has five receptions, 37 receiving yards. I'm going to copy and paste what I've said a thousand times. If you're looking at Hampton, round one NFL draft capital, elite athlete at the NFL combine, Bellcow in college, receiving skill set in college, goes to a good offense, checks every single box you could possibly want. So, of course, this guy's going to crush when Naji Harris goes down.

Now, even though I love Hampton, even though obviously I stand to win a ton of money if Quinton Johnson continues to do what he has, I will at least point out that Joe Alt did get injured. So, this Chargers offensive line has gone from a unit that had the best two tackles in the NFL, at least the best pair of tackles in the NFL, to now a below average offensive line. Sounds like it's high ankle sprain for Joe Walt, so it doesn't seem like he's going to be out for the year, but still should make the Chargers offense struggle a bit more.

Going over to the Giants. Poor one out. Legitimately for anybody who has Malik Neighbors, poor one out for Malik Neighbors himself. The absolute worst thing in fantasy football, the worst feeling in the world is the player that you drafted in round one going down for the season. I can't imagine what would be worse than that. So, it's over with neighbors. Dart is not going to be interesting at all even though he can run the ball because if you have no Malik Neighbors, this is going to be one of the worst offenses in the league. Now, Cam Scataboo I started this week myself. I was very happy with the opportunity that he had with the 25 carries. However, you only had two targets. So, this is going to be a concern with Dart who can run the ball himself. Like I saw multiple times in this game where it's like, oh, the dump off is right there for Scat. Hit him in the flap and then all of a sudden Jackson Dar's just running the ball himself, which obviously worked out. They win the game, but it's just not great for Cam Scataboo's fantasy value and it's going to be a bad offense. I'm probably still starting him myself this next week. Definitely over freaking Tony Pard. We'll talk about later. Um, and then looking at the fill-in options at wide receiver, Wondell Robinson will be an interesting flex play, but not a must-art player by any means because again, this is now going to project be one of the worst offenses in the league.

Going over to the Tennessee Titans and Mr. Tony Pard, I think we can safely say cut Calvin Ridley. Calvin Ridley through the first four weeks this season has been one of the worst wide receivers in the NFL. Whether you want to blame the offense, Cam Ward, Ridley himself, in my mind, it's probably a combination of everything. I cannot imagine ever going through and putting Calvin Ridley in my starting lineup. The only pass catcher that is worth rostering here in Tennessee is Alec A Manor, but he is not exciting himself considering the fact that this is the worst offense in the league. He has seven targets. Clearly, the wide receiver won here, but still not that exciting. I started Tony Pard. Um Tony Pard had a crazy eye projection on underdog. He was like higher lower 89 and a half total yards and that's because obviously he goes out there he plays 90% of the snaps every single week. Um hindsight being 2020 clearly we should have slammed the lower. Um but I'm probably not going to be starting Tony Pard next week. I'm probably going to start Cam Scatteraboo and Travis ETN over and myself especially if Taji Spears comes back where that snap rate's going to fall dramatically from Pard.

Now, let's move over to the Houston Texan side of things. Um, one other player that I drafted a ton of in the final three rounds of underdog drafts was Nick Chub. And it looks like Nick Chub just lost his job. Woody Marks is going to be the number one waiverwire pickup. We'll obviously talk about him in the Waverwire video that's going to be coming out super early Tuesday morning. Just make sure you're subscribed and we'll get you set up for your waiverss. But Woody Marx takes over 17 carries, 69 rushing yards, and the rushing touchdown. Looking at Markx, what's most impressive is his receiving skill set, pass protection, catching the ball out of the back field. I am honestly surprised that the man had 22 opportunities given his stature. But to see this rushing usage, I have to completely re-evaluate him. He's not just a third down running back. He's somebody that's actually leading this backfield. And he looks like he could turn into an every week starter at running back, especially in a full PPR league where obviously he has the receiving skill set. Um, I had to go up against Nico Collins this week. Very happy that Nico Collins had a pedestrian game. He had four receptions, 79 receiving yards. I believe his higher lower for yardage on underdog fantasy was like 66 and a half. So, if anybody did take the higher, you still got that right. But ultimately, Nico still going to be someone you're starting every single week. Just the passing volume was muted here in Houston because obviously the Titans couldn't keep up.

But speaking of underdog, I will remind you I have never seen them have a promo as good as what they're offering right now for a limited time. And I've been with them for five years now. They have a promo where if you use code flock, after you play your first $5, you are going to get $100 added in your underdog account. And on top of that, they have a free bow nicks pick high or lower for the Monday night game. I'm going to leave the link to underdog fantasy in the description as well as the comment section. Underdog's available in almost every single state. And like I said, they've been the only sponsor of this channel for five years. And I have never seen a promo that's as good as what they're offering right now. And my little conspiracy theory is I think they're doing it to celebrate the fact that they just hit the number one spot in the app store among all sports apps.

But let's go over and let's look at the next game. This is going to be the Atlanta Falcons. Obviously, the Falcons offense was the worst offense in the NFL last week. What we did is we looked at Las Vegas sports books which said, "Oh no, the Falcons are going to be just fine this week against the Commanders." And I said, "Okay, Sportsbooks, I believe you." And yes, you can start Bejon. Yes, you can start London. Um, what's actually really surprising is like Tyler Algier and Bejon are both eating at the same time. Like you actually have Bean Robinson over 100 receiving yards, almost 200 total yards, and the receiving touchdown came close to having two touchdowns in this game. And Tyler Alier still had 51 rushing yards and the rushing TD. Imagine if this all went to Bejon. But regardless, Bejian top three running back every week. Nothing to discuss. Drake London still a mustart wide receiver every single week. Market share numbers are insane. He had 10 targets out of 26 Michael Penn attempts. So don't overthink it. London we had ranked as a top 10 wide receiver coming into this week. He stays there as a top 10 receiver. And Kyle Pittz is slowly but surely making it known that he is startable. Like this is a decent little stretch of games that we have now seen where Kyle Pittz looks like I mean hell he's better than TJ Hawinson whoever I'm throwing into my starting lineup.

Now going over to the commander side of this um I don't know what we can say about Jory Crosky Merritt. He looks fine. The efficiency is there but this is still a threeman running back by committee. So realistically Bill Crosky Merritt I traded him for Pard a couple weeks back for the Eckler injury. I I I don't really regret it because like how could I ever start a running back in this commander backfield? Really, the only player that is startable here in Washington at the moment is going to be Debo Samuel. I'm surprised they're not even getting Debo more involved with the rushes, but obviously when you're missing Terry McLaren, Debo is just going to be expanding his role. And he did have the six targets, six receptions, 72 receiving yards, and the receiving TD. We'll be dropping our rest of season rankings on flockfantasy.com tonight and you'll see that video on this channel tomorrow.

Going over and looking at what we have with the New Orleans Saints. Um I was happy that they were just able to move the ball down the field somewhat. So Josh Allen had to keep throwing at least to some extent. Um Kendrick Miller actually goes through and he has a rushing touchdown. Looks like he has a little bit of juice here. And yeah, this is turning into a running back by committee. Now this team had 34 rush attempts to only 28 pass attempts. So you can tell that yeah, they are still going out there and trying to run the ball. What's hilarious is I spent all week saying like, "Oh yeah, um you're probably not going to be getting a touchdown when you're looking at Chris Ave." The reason being is this offense has no upside, but at least you have the PPR floor. Funny enough, he only has three receptions, but comes through with the receiving touchdown. So, it's the exact opposite. But a looks viable just because the market share numbers are great. Jawan Johnson comes back down to earth a bit, but realistically, all these tight ends are going to be shaky. Um I think Kamara has to be a follower here. Continued lack of involvement as a receiver with only two receiving yards. And Miller all of a sudden is going to be getting work in a bad offense. You're not super excited about a running back in a committee that's not going to be sitting with a massive receiving workload.

Now going over and looking at Buffalo, Josh Allen remains my QB1 in fantasy. We'll talk about the Lamar Jackson injury later, but again, Josh Allen just simply doesn't miss time. So even if Lamar Jackson maybe projects out higher on a weekly basis, I'm still going to have Josh Allen ranked higher in my rest of season rankings because Josh Allen is just so damn durable. Um, three total touchdowns, gets the rushing touchdown. Doesn't stop James Cook from having a phenomenal day. James Cook still borderline top five running back rest of season. Khalil Shakir, Keon Coleman. Um, still borderline um, plays that you can put in your flex spot if you're desperate, especially as we go through the buys. Looking at the Joshua Palmer usage with this chart from PFF, you'll see that Palmer's involvement in this offense is falling dramatically, which should help Shakir, should help Keon Coleman more so to be honest. And then Daltton Concade saves the day with the receiving touchdown. However, the usage isn't phenomenal. He actually only runs 16 out of a potential 28 routes.

Now going over and looking at the Philadelphia Eagles, Jaylen Herz remains must start elite level quarterback every single week. Even if the passing volume's not there, the rushing will be. Saquon Barkley remains a top five running back that we can start every single week. I was losing my mind when he wasn't doing anything. And then we had the fake tush push and then obviously um I was a very happy camper going over looking at the pass catchers. Um they're Dallas Goddard. Let me know in the comments section. Am I going to be a fool if I put this dude in my starting lineup instead of TJ Hawinson this next week? Because my thing is like I think Goddard has just as much target competition in Philadelphia as what you have with TJ Hawinson in Minnesota. But in Philadelphia they just never throw the ball. Like Goddard had multiple receiving touchdowns. He had four targets though. So, it's not like I can be super confident going into the future. I think he's like a lowend tight end one that I'm going to be pulling my hair out the few amount of hairs that I have left trying to determine what we're doing with TJ Hawk verse Dallas Goddard. And then the wide receivers, I'm moving AJ Brown down my rankings. Now, I'm still going to give AJ Brown the benefit of the doubt because we know AJ Brown cares about our fantasy football team. It doesn't matter that the Philadelphia Eagles, it it's unbelievable, but they have won 20 of their last 21 games. I know that half the internet hates Philadelphia, hates Jaylen Herz, hates the Eagles. I have no opinion one way or another, but I look at this team go, "This is one of the best football teams I've ever seen. You win 20 out of your last 21 games, including the Super Bowl." Like, what the hell are we talking about here? This is insane. And AJ Brown goes, "Not good enough. I'm letting my fantasy football owners down." So, um, I I'm going to make a mess of it. So, shout out AJ Brown. I really appreciate that kind of attitude from a wide receiver that would be on my fantasy team and I do think that they are going to be forced to actually look his way more so and get him the ball.

Now going over to what we have with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, um Baker Mayfields actually runs the ball a little bit less this week. So if you started him, it's not horrible with the passing volume, but obviously you're not super excited. Bucky Irving long receiving touchdown, which actually just moves him to the very top of all running backs in fantasy for the week. Ibuka 10 targets with no Mike Evans. He'll remain a must-start wide receiver every week. Um Chris Godwin his first game back he comes through and he draws 10 targets. So while Godwin was a wide receiver that I wanted nothing to do with this week and while we were saying you cannot put him in your starting lineup, I am a lot more excited about starting Chris Godwin in week five than I was in week four. He'll probably be in a by low video for us because he actually drew 10 targets. I know one of them was the Baker interception, but still he ran 40 routes in comparison to like Ibuka at 41. Like he came back in and he's immediately a full-time player.

Now going over to the Cleveland Browns, can everybody go to the comment section and apologize to Nathan for making fun of him for drafting Quinn Shawn Judkins in round five? Because Judkins looks like he is a leaguewinning running back at this point. Even though this Cleveland Browns offense is garbage, Quinn Sean Judkins is everything the Browns have. He has 21 carries. He has four targets for 25 total opportunities. He plays 39 snaps. He runs 14 routes. So, it doesn't matter that the Browns get blown out. Um, Judkins is involved. This is like the exact kind of game script that you would have been worried about with Quinn Sean. Going back and looking at what we had with the usage last week, but frankly, he's matchup proof. You're starting him every single week and he's flying up my rankings. Going over and looking at receivers, Jerry Judy would be the only guy worth rostering in this. He had nine targets, but still not super excited about him. And then Harold Fannon actually played a careerhigh with his snap rate. He played 57 snaps, which I want to say is actually the first time that he played more snaps than David and Jojoku, who was at 56.

Now, moving over to Detroit, um, obviously the Browns just couldn't keep up with the Lions. So, he had 29 rush attempts to 27 pass attempts. So, realistically, like Goff, not a lot of passing volume. Obviously, Goff not going to run the ball himself. That's why Goff is kind of in the range of quarterbacks where you roster two, you play the matchups between them. Um, Jir Gibbs looks like the absolute clear alpha lead running back. I mean, Jir Gibbs has a total of 37 snaps. He runs 16 routes. He has 15 carries. He dominates the volume as a rusher, as a receiver. McGomery still is a borderline play if you're desperate. But this was really a bad matchup for McGomery, right? You knew not to start him in this one. And then Aman Rosra St. Brown is officially our wide receiver, too, in our rest of season rankings. We had him there in the same tier with some other guys coming into the week, but the fact that you get another two receiving touchdowns. So the man has like six receiving touchdowns in the past three weeks. Absolutely phenomenal. Jameson Williams, he has eight targets in this game. Has a big drop, but is sliding more so to just flex consideration where obviously the boom bust nature you're going to get burned multiple times. And I did move Sam Leaporta down the tight end rankings behind somebody like Hunter Henry.

Going over and looking at the Panthers, Panthers offense is garbage. No matter who's that quarterback, um, Chuba Hubard is still getting the majority of the work here. Still gives you a baseline floor with the receiving. Obviously, banged up coming into this game. Really, the only players that remain relevant are going to be Chuba Hubard and Ted McMillan. I I don't care about anybody else. Not that excited about anybody else. Not excited about Hubard. I'm not that excited about Ted, even if he's a phenomenal player, as again, this is a garbage offense.

Going over and looking at the New England Patriots, um, sports books loved the Pats here against the Carolina Panthers, which is why I thought Drake May was a great start and I thought Trevon Henderson was a sneaky start. We got so bailed out by telling people that Trevian Henderson could be a borderline flex play this week because the usage is horrible. Like even though Trevian Henderson comes in, he has a rushing touchdown, he has double-digit fantasy points, it's not that bad. I am less excited about Trevian Henderson in week five than I was coming into this week because the hope was coming into this week you were gonna have the Henderson role expanding Raadres shrinking because you had multiple Raadre fumbles a week ago because you had an Antonio Gibson fumble a week ago for Antonio Gibson get a rushing touchdown here. What the hell are we doing? Like there's not every week the New England Patriots offense is going to look this good. So, like I said, I think we got lucky with Trevian Henderson this week. Still like the player in the long term. I think this is a good team. I think he's a great running back. I think he has a receiving skill set. Looking at what we have with the receivers, I have Stefon Diggs on my bench. And I'm a little bit more encouraged based off what we saw in this contest. Of course, he actually did run 18 out of 22 potential routes. So, it looks like Stefon Diggs has worked back up to being an every down player. So you can go ahead and you can cut Kahan Booty looking at Hunter Henry. Um I moved him ahead of Sam Leaporta in my rankings. I know it looks maybe like a pedestrian game, but he was inches away from both his receptions being receiving touchdowns and I had to play against him. So obviously I was sweating that like hell.

Now going over and looking at the Indianapolis Colts, this could have been a great offense, could have been another great Daniel Jones game if it wasn't for Adonai Mitchell. Now, looking at what we have when it comes to the Daniel Jones rushing upside really wasn't there. He didn't run the ball at all, which actually does make me a little less excited about DJ going into the future. Jonathan Taylor remains a top five running back every single week. Jonathan Taylor actually could have had a big play if it wasn't called back with the penalty from AD Mitchell. Um, so Jonathan Taylor, this was a fine fantasy day from him, but honestly, it's going to be a lot better going into the future. The usage is still incredible. And then looking at what we have with the receivers, Michael Pitman Jr. cementss himself wide receiver one here in Indianapolis. 10 targets. Josh Downs I've seen on a lot of the waiver wires of teams that we are looking at in the live streams every night. And I will say um honestly maybe he does belong there. And then Tyler Borin still top three tight end very very easily. Obviously it's incredible seeing Tyler Warren actually vulture the rushing touchdown from Jonathan Taylor. Sal and Nathan went up against each other in the flock league this week. One had Tyler Warren, one had Jonathan Taylor. So, it was pretty funny. Obviously, you can check out that video on the Flock League YouTube channel.

Now, going over and looking at what we have the Rams, Matthew Stafford nuclear performance, and it is official at this point. If you didn't believe it by last week, you need to believe it by this week. Puka Nukua is this year's Jamar Chase. Puka Nukua is probably going to be the Triple Crown winner. Pukanukua is in a completely different tier of any wide receiver in fantasy football. The only two players that you could consider in that top tier are going to be McCaffrey and Puka. Looking at the usage for Kairen Williams, it's very concerning. Obviously, this graph from PFF, you'll see that the Chairen percentage of snaps is going in the wrong direction. Um Blake Corm's getting more and more involved. Hopefully, this rebounds. Hopefully, this doesn't become a serious issue. is the thing with Kairen is he's not really going to be used much as a receiver. Now, he's definitely getting used more as a receiver than what you have with Blake Corm at the moment, but nonetheless, it is going to be a little bit nerve-wracking.

Now, going over to Jacksonville, I'll admit I'm man enough to say it. I benched Travis ETN this week. I was worried about Laquent Allen freaking taking receiving usage. Belle Tutin getting touches in the red zone. I benched ETN for Jacobs, for Barkley, for Scat, and for Pard. Clearly should have played him over Pard. Um, I'm going to learn my lesson. I'm going to play Travis ETN this next week. I would advise that you do as well. I will still say it's kind of frustrating. He's not running a ton of routes. Lquent Allen runs nine. Belleuton runs seven. ETN runs 12. So, ETN's just kind of the first and second down running back in this back field. Going over to the receivers, they spread out the ball a ton. Like Brian Thomas Jr. finally leads this team in receiving. But even in that context, it's not like he has a nuclear game. Now, I will say that he had 31 pass attempts to 32 rush attempts for this offense. So, obviously, the Jacksonville Jaguars leaned heavily on the run in this win against the ners. And then the Travis Hunter usage, I mean, he only played wide receiver in the second half. He had a good um highlight grab early, but ultimately if you look at the snaps, it's not like he's playing that much more. So Travis Hunter still not startable until we see otherwise.

Now going over to the ners, uh McAffrey still the number one player in fantasy or the number two behind Pugnua, however you want to have it, but McAffrey 92 receiving yards, six receptions, and a receiving touchdown. He did nothing as a rusher. You'd be happy with that stat line, but obviously you're getting the rushing added on. So CMC is by far and away the running back one even though he really hasn't looked super explosive. He hasn't really looked that great of a player in terms of breaking off big plays so far this season. So imagine if you eventually get him breaking off big plays. Imagine if you eventually see him with a rushing touchdown or two going over to the receivers. They just spread the ball out too much. I thought Ricky Pierol was a mustart name. um obviously doesn't look like it with this type of performance, but um I still probably want to start Ricky Pierall going into the future. And Jawan Jennings was reported that he was going to be limited coming into this one, but he did play more snaps and run more routes than any other wide receiver here for the NerS.

Now going over and looking at Chicago, DeAndre Swift remains a three- down running back that's still startable in good matchups. You have a total of 20 opportunities. boring running back that you can just throw in your flex and know that you're going to get about 10 to 20 fantasy points. Um, Caleb Williams, I know a lot of people are viewing him as like an elite QB after the Dallas Cowboys game. I know he had a solid like first three games, but don't get it twisted like he just had some really good matchups, right? I still think that Kale Williams is in the tier of quarterbacks that you probably want to roster two guys. You want to play the matchups between them. He's not Lamar, he's not Allen. Um, Roma Dunce, however, if you don't believe it, through the first three weeks, he is the straightup alpha here in Chicago. Um, I think we ranked him as a high-end wide receiver, too, in our rankings this past week, which obviously is way, way too low. And going ahead and looking at where we have moved Rome to in our rest of season ranks. I have him at wide receiver nine inside the same tier as Drake London and CD Lamb.

Going over to the Raiders, I am super happy that we made it a point through the first two weeks to hammer in the rookie running backs are going to be fine. The rookie running backs are going to be fine. Give them some time. And what do you think? The running back that was selected inside the top 10 picks of the NFL draft that was arguably one of the best college running backs of all time is just fine. Ashton Genty, three touchdowns on the game. Ashen Genty 138 rushing yards. You add another injury to this Raiders offensive line. I'm not an offensive line expert by any means, but the people on the TV said that he was a pretty good one. So, I mean, that's going to be something that we have to still contend with if this offensive line is really bad. It's still going to keep Ashen Genty from being like a true top five running back rest of season. But, we have Ashen Genty in the same tier with James Cook, Bucky Irving, Devon Achan, Amari Hampton, Josh Jacobs, and Derrick Henry rest of season as my RB9. Still a mustart player every single week. And then I was way too high in Jacobe Myers this week. projections. Absolutely love this offense. Projections were saying there was going to be a lot of passing volume here with Gino Smith. They were clearly very very wrong. Um Jacobe Myers does lead the team with seven targets. Great market share numbers, but you only hadund 17 passing yards near for Gino. So realistically, Bowowers isn't going to go nuclear in that context. Meyers isn't going to go nuclear in that context. So it's just a genty game.

Now going over to Baltimore, it will be very relevant what is going to happen with this Lamar Jackson hamstring. So what the announcers said, they said the rumor is that if this game would have been close, Lamar would have been out there, but because it was a blowout, they said, you know what, just keep Cooper Rush in the game. Who cares? But obviously, if Lamar Jackson were to miss, then at that point, if you have Lamar, you need to figure something else out. Going over looking at the running backs. I understand Justice Hill gives us the 71 yard rushing. Thank God. I needed him on some basketball teams to do just that, but he's still just a baseball play. Like, good luck figuring out when you'd ever put Justice Hill into your starting lineup. Um Dererick Henry, y'all know I'm not the biggest Derk Henry fan. I will say that if Lamar is down, um it's going to be bad. If this defense remains one of the worst defenses in the league, it's going to be bad because what you need for Derrick Henry is you need a positive game environment. If the multiple Ravens are trailing by multiple touchdowns and they have to abandon the run, it's not going to be Derrick Henry out there. So Derrick Henry is now behind guys like Amari Hampton, Ashen Genty um in my rankings.

And going over to the Chiefs, I apologize. We thought Xavier Worthy was somebody that you should have benched his first week back. Didn't want to believe it until we saw it. I'm so happy that he is back. Cookham Hornets. We have over 100 total yards. Looks great. Opens up the entire offense. Mahomes looks phenomenal in this. They spread the ball out. You get a receiving touchdown to Hollywood, to Guju, to Pacheco to Taekwon Thornton. I'm sorry if I told you to drop Taekwon Thornton. Then he scores a receiving touchdown. I will say he has two targets. So yes, Taekquon Thornton is still a cut. Yes, Juju Smith Schustster is still a cut. Yes, Hollywood Brown is still a cut unless you're playing in the deepest of formats. The only viable players you can roster in KC are going to be Mahomes, Worthy, Kelsey, and then you bet your butt that I am moving up Rashid Rice in our rest of season rankings every single week that goes by and he gets closer to returning.

But I could not be more excited for this season. Y'all know I'm the first person to admit I'm an idiot. I get things wrong all the time. But this is our year. 4-0, undisputed top champ of the Flock League at the moment. and all the calls we had coming into this season with those underdog best blood drafts are absolutely smashing where it looks like we're going to make a ton of money there. So, I hope you're having as much fun doing this as I am at the moment. I know Malik Neighbors drafters I probably look like an ass right now. Um, I will say that of course you can still be a winner regardless because Underdog Fantasy is doing the biggest promo that I've seen from them for the five years I've been with them where after you play your first $5 with promo code Flock, you are going to get $100 added to your account. And on top of that, a free Bon Knicks pick more than less than half a total yard for the Monday night game. You can find that link in the description, find it in the comment section. Again, use code flock and you'll also get free questions to ask me during the live streams. And underdog fantasies available in almost every state. But I really appreciate you and I really hope we get to see you out with the live stream that we're doing every single.
