You would never believe it, but everything just changed and we are here to talk about it, including all the injuries that did occur today. We're going to do this a little bit different. We're doing this as a live stream rather than a video. Let me know what you think in the comments section below, but we'll talk about it all game by game.
Starting off with the first game that we had super early this morning. This was the Atlanta Falcons versus the Indianapolis Colts. Here, Atlanta was winning this game through the majority of it. Let's just go offense by offense, right? Starting with the Atlanta Falcons, Michael Penn is no bueno. So, um, if you had Michael Penn on your fantasy team, I would go ahead. I would cut Michael Penn. He's never going to run the ball. Passing volume doesn't look good. The only players that are startable in this offense will be the backup running back, Bejian Robinson. I know obviously the absolute stud. Tyler Alier is the running back that was in there at the goal line. Had multiple rushing touchdowns, but um I would still start Bejon over Tyler Algier if I were you. At least that's what I'd personally do. Realistically, I think at this point you probably got to put Bejon behind Jonathan Taylor, behind Christian McCaffrey, how we've had it for quite quite some time at this point because this Tyler Algier usage is actually pretty consistent.
Now, moving over to wide receiver, Drake London comes through, 100 receiving yards. Uh, volume's not insane. He has eight receptions in this game, but it's really just Drake London and that's going to be it. And then going over to Kyle Pittz, I'm surprised to see he only had five targets. Like, it looked like Kyle Pittz was drawing significantly more work than that. But realistically, Atlanta, it's easy. You start London every week, you start Bejon every week. Tyler Algier should be rostered across all formats. Um because if Bejan were to go down, Algier turns into a league winner.
Now going over to what we have with the Indianapolis Colts side of things, um Daniel Jones comes through. I know he only scores 16 and a half fantasy points, but this is a game in which Jonathan Taylor scores 50. So if you're looking at this, um Daniel Jones still a quarterback one for me in fantasy pretty easily. He had 53 rushing yards in this game.
Going over to running back, Jonathan Taylor is the story of it. I don't need to spend much time with them. We've already had Jonathan Taylor ranked as our number one player in fantasy football. It's kind of a popular take. I'm not going out there on a limb and saying that. It just keeps the same way that it was. I tweeted this out right after the game that I spent all year researching fantasy football and the only thing that mattered is if you drafted Jonathan Taylor or not dependent on what happens in the game tomorrow. I'll show you what I need in one second, but looks like I'm about to be eight and two in the flock league. But S took Jonathan Taylor and Christian McCaffrey with his two reverse pegs. So he looks unbeatable at nine and one right now.
Um, going over to wide receiver, Alec Pierce was really good with the underdog projections if you were looking at it this week. That's why we thought he was a pretty decent starter. We had him ranked there as a borderline wide receiver, two. Comes in with the big receiving touchdown right out the gate. And he does have seven targets in comparison to Michael Pitman at two, but I do think with Adani Mitchell, especially out of this offense, that it does look like Alec Pierce is a wide receiver that should be startable most weeks going into the future. And then Michael Pitman Jr., I would still go ahead and start him every single week. Um, tight end Tyler Borne, you still start every week. Nothing really changes here in this game, of course.
Now, going over to the New Orleans Saints, Carolina Panthers with New Orleans, Tyler Shuck had projected out to be a much worse quarterback than what Spencer Rattler did. According to Vegas Sports Books, I would obviously say that there is no need for you to ever go out there and ever consider rostering Tyler Shuck knowing that he's never going to run the ball and he's in a bad offense. Like, there's no reason talking about him at all.
Now, Alvin Kamara maybe is the one interesting player here because Alvin Kamar has 22 carries in this game, three targets for 25 opportunities, significantly more than we had seen all season. Does this mean all of a sudden Alvin Kamar is startable next week? No. Because even though he had 25, and I mean 25 opportunities against the Carolina Panthers in one of the very few games that you actually had the New Orleans Saints winning, what happens? Oh, he scores 14 and a half fantasy points. This is his ceiling. Like if this is a ceiling, you're not interested whatsoever. Like we can go through and look at what we've had from a career perspective with Kamara. Again, you're sitting here with 3.6 yards per attempt, 4.9 yards per target this season. Horribly inefficient.
Now, moving over to the wide receivers, Chris Ave still a mustard name every single week. He's the only guy that's going to draw any targets. You have a lav with eight targets, a veile with three, and then not another wide receiver draws a target on this team. So, a lav must start name every week. Jawan Johnson does come away with a receiving touchdown, but realistically, Jawan Johnson had four targets. Foss Maro has three. So, if Jawan J and then some random tight end I've never heard of has one. So, if Jawan Johnson has 50% of the New Orleans Saints tight end targets, you're not starting him.
Going over to the Carolina end of things, um Bryce Young is horrible. Y'all know I've hated Bryce Young for a long time. Dude's garbage. Rico Dael, I understand maybe it was disappointing only getting 15 points. If you were looking at the underdog high or lowers coming into this game, the only players that had better projections than Rico Dattle were Jonathan Taylor, Bejon as well as um Christian McCaffrey. Like Rico Dattle had better projections than Jir Gibbs. And obviously if you were looking at Dow verse Gibbs, that was laughable this week. D only scores 15 and a half points, but he had 21 opportunities to chew a Hubard with three. So Rico Dattle still a top 10 running back in my rest of season ranks. And of course, I will 100% go through and um get y'all those rest of season rankings with the video tomorrow. So, if you're not already, just subscribe to the channel and you'll see all the updated rest of season rankings. Rico will still be a top 10 running back even if this game was garbage. Um Tedo McMillan continued to do the same thing that he's done for quite some time now where this is a dude that is going to dominate targets, but he's playing with Bryce Young, so it doesn't matter. So he's still a wide re low and wide receiver two, high and wide receiver three. Javon Sanders has five receptions. He has five targets. Hookham Horn on route for him, but in reality nobody is startable here outside of Rico Dattle and potentially Tedo McMillan.
Now let's move this over to our next one. This is the New York Giants versus the Chicago Bears. Had the massive Darius Sllayton highlight catch obviously in the snow. And real quick, this is actually something that I've been thinking. Um, Nosy says, "What does Underdog have the Jaylen points? I mean, Jaylen Herz fantasy points for." I'll pull that up right now, but let me tell y'all what I need for my game tomorrow night. What I need that's going to be a big big thing. Here's my matchup. Right now, I'm a 65% favorite to move to 8-2 and beat Bush. I had Breezall, Jaylen Waddle performing well. DK Medav did crap for us. Matt Prader horrible. My my kicker and defense shat the bed. Nico, thank you sir. But anyway, I am currently down by about 35 points. I have Josh Jacobs, Dallas, Saquon Barkley to go. So I am actually interested to see where the projections are and if underdog has us winning or losing this. They currently have Barkley high or lower of 14.05 points. Josh Jacobs higher lower 14.65. Jaylen Herz higher lower 18.95 if you were needing that. And Dallas Goddard higher lower about eight. But I play in a full PPR format. These higher lowers on underdog are half PPR. So hopefully full PPR format where we get a few more points than that. But or let me move this back over. This is just me selfishly. This is what I'm sweating all day if y'all are interested. Let's move this back. And obviously, I will say as well, if y'all wanted to check out any of these picks for tomorrow night, um links always in the description. Thunderdog Fantasy, it's always in the comment section. Code Flock will get you a $100 added to your account after you play your first five. And on top of that, if you use code flock, you'll get a gimme Jaylen Herds pick for tomorrow night's game. Higher, lower, half a total yard. Um and you'll get free questions for these live streams. And I'm live streaming every single day until Christmas. You've heard me say this a bajillion zillion times, but underdog fantasies develop in almost every single state and you can find that link in the description comment section live chat, but looking at the Giants and the Bears here.
Um I understand that yeah, you have Devin Singleary with 10 points, Tyron Tracy with eight, but Tyron Tracy still the lead back. He's sitting here with 16 opportunities in comparison to Deon Singleary with 11. Um Jackson Dart gets a concussion. Don't know if Dart's going to be playing this next week. I would say if I'm the New York Giants and I'm sitting at two and eight, I would rather not play Jackson Dart. But if you were looking at what we have with Dart, he continues to run the ball like crazy. 66 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. So if he can stay healthy, he will be a startable player in the long term. And then Well Robinson, 11 targets. So Well still I would rank as that borderline flex play any week that you have Jackson Dart. um when Russ was the starter here early. Obviously, you had the massive Wandell Robinson blow up early in the season, but we'll see what sports books have in terms of the implied team total for this offense. If Russ is the starter in comparison to Jackson Dart, they've been projecting out the Giants as a middle of the road to slightly below average offense every week with like an implied team total of 21 21 and a half points. We'll be interesting to see if that gets lowered with Russell Wilson. And then Theo Johnson has eight targets. So, Theo Johnson, regardless of if Dart or Russ will be the quarterback, will remain a very quality streaming option going into the future.
I'm going over to Caleb Williams. Caleb Williams gives you 63 rushing yards and the rushing touchdown. So, that really saves the day fantasy-wise. Looking at the running back usage, so Kyle Manungai was obviously the talk of pretty much the entire town coming into this game. My take on the Chicago Bears running backs were once DeAndre Swift was healthy, I wanted to go through and I wanted to bench both DeAndre Swift as well as Kyle Manungai just so we could play it safe and see what the split is between the two running backs and then start them the following week if you like their opportunities. Well, who I'm going to continue to rank as the running back one in this backfield where I feel very comfortable with it after this game is going to be DeAndre Swift. DeAndre Swift has eight targets in this game, 13 carries for a total of 21 opportunities in comparison to Kyle Manungai with only seven carries, one target. Now, Manungai does see the rushing touchdown. So, I do think he's going to eat into the raw ceiling that we have with DeAndre Swift. So instead of Swift being a low-end RB1, high-end RB2 here rest of season. I do think you have to lower your expectations just slightly, but this is still the player that you're going to start.
Going over to the receivers, Roman Dunce, 10 targets, 86 receiving yards, receiving touchdown. He's still the mustart wide receiver every single week. We add him ranked there. Nothing changes. Luther Burden, Olam Zakius, DJ Moore. None of these guys are startable. Nothing changes. And then going over to tight ends, Lovelin only has a total of four targets. And this is a concern, right? Because Lovelin's big time blow up last week. One, it was a great match up against the Cincinnati Bengals, but two, in that game, you had no Luther Burden as well as Cole KT went down with a concussion. So now that we see these other two players come in, it does look like they are just going to be scaling back Lovelin, respectively.
Okay, now let's move this over to our next one. It's going to be the Jacksonville Jaguars as well as the Houston Texans. And let me actually see, I can move this down this way. Um, but anyway, if we are looking here, I know obviously you see Houston winning this game at the end, but as somebody who started Nico Collins, it was a living hell in the first half as this offense was just straight up garbage.
Now, looking at the Jacksonville Jaguars, I really wasn't interested in starting any of the receivers. Uh, obviously you're never starting any of the tight ends or Trevor Lawrence. I'm like this garb this offense is garbage and the matchup was horrible against Houston. However, you have Parker Washington getting there. Parker Washington gets there with the return touchdown which was brutal because I had to freaking play against the Jags DST this week. If I were you, would I be super excited to go out there and start Parker Washington next week? No. The Jacksonville, the Jaguars are a dumpster fire of an offense. I don't think Parker Washington is that talented of a player. And I think Jacobe Myers will probably expand his role ever so slightly.
Looking at what we have at running back, Travis ETN comes through. He has 20 total opportunities in comparison by Shelton with only six. Travis ETN does have the rushing touchdown. So really the only player that I'm ever starting in Jacksonville would be Travis ETN and Parker Washington. In a week like this where it was week 10, it was the first week Jacobe Myers was in week 10 you had a bunch of byweeks. I completely understand if you went ahead and you put him in your lineup, but I would just stress that going into the future like week 11, week 12 when you have less buys, I really don't think you should be starting Parker Washington if you can avoid it.
Now going over to the Houston side of things, Davis Mills gets a bunch of garbage time volume and he gets the garbage I don't want to say garbage time. I mean it was a comeback to win the game. So that's obviously that's not garbage time, but it felt like it when this game was just a runaway in the first half. But anyway, um Davis Mills comes through. Would I ever start Davis Mills? No, not at all.
Um going over to running back Woody Marks looked like he got injured. turned out to be a-ok. Okay. And he comes through with 17 total opportunities. And if you had looked since the bye-week where Houston had the buy in week six, week seven, eight, nine, you actually had Woody Marks averaging about 15 opportunities a game. So Woody Marks is the clearcut starting running back for the Houston Texans with the receiving role. And for that reason, he will be a viable option as a borderline top 24 running back every week. of Nico Collins, 15 targets. This is a continued trend that we've seen with these backup quarterbacks coming in and just locking in on the number one target. As somebody who has Nico Collins, I was not crying about this at all. And Daltton Schultz had 11 targets in this game. I really just think you start Woody Mars, start Nico Collins, and you move on. I know Schultz with 11 targets may seem interesting, but Davis Mills had 45 pass attempts. That's going to skew the numbers.
Now, let's go over to Buffalo and Miami. I started Josh Allen. I started the freaking Buffalo Bills kicker and it was living hell. This is another offense that had done nothing at half. Josh Allen had like two fantasy points at halftime. He comes through and he ends up with over 300 passing yards. He had 40 pass attempts, only four carries, was not running much, loses the fumble, only scores 20 fantasy points. I still have Buffalo as a great team. Josh Allen as an elite fantasy quarterback. I think that this is just one of those weird indivision road games. Any given Sunday, anybody can win any given week.
Um James Cook, disappointing day, only 10.7 fantasy points. Um James Cook, definition of a running back that disappoints in games in which the Buffalo Bills lose because you're not going to be able to rack up the volume. Um but he did have a really impressive run that he fumbled at the end of which was just a little bit sad. But James Cook still a top 12 running back every week going into the future.
Wide receivers, Keon Coleman has 13 and a half points. You're not interested in any of the receivers here, right? Keon Coleman did have eight targets. Khal Shakir had nine targets, but Josh Allen threw the ball 40 times. And then going over looking at tight end, Daltton Concincaid gets banged up in this game. U but realistically, if you were looking at this, Concaid hadn't been playing much in the first place. He had 35 snaps in week n I'm sorry 35% of the snaps in week nine and 22% of the snaps in week eight. So Dalton Concade missing honestly I don't think impacts the offense much.
And then going over to Miami um hilarious that Miami won this game 30-13 and Tua if you're just box score scouting still looked horrible. Had 12.82 fantasy points. You never roster Tua. You never start Tua. Of course, running back, you have Devon Aan with the massive, massive blow up. Goes for 220 total yards. Goes for 28 total opportunities, multiple rushing touchdowns, and 40 fantasy points. It is a fair question that we need to ask at this point of spam the chat with this real quick. Who would you rather have? And I don't want to say that we're overreacting, but this is something that I'm gonna have to think about tonight as I go through and update my rankings on flockfantasy.com and prepare that video to get it for y'all tomorrow. Who would y'all rather have rest of season? Devon Achan or Bejan Robinson coming into this game. Let me go ahead and pull this up. Again, this is coming into this week. This is not including this week's stats yet. You had Bejon 21.1 fantasy points per game. Devon Achan at 19.2. You for sure after a 40 bomb from Achan where Bejan scored like 12 points are going to see Aan flip Bejian Robinson in points per game.
Now, it's going to be tough for me to figure this out. We got Bejon. Um, Achan, Bjan, Achan, Bejian, Achan, Achan, Han, Bejian, Bjan, Achan, Achan, Achan, Achan, Achan. Same tier. Achan, Achan, Bejian, Aan, Bejon, Bejian. Um, so here's my take with it. I think that points per game-wise, rest of season, they're probably going to be very comparable. But Bejon's already gone through the week five buy. A Chan, you're going to be missing a week in week 12. And considering the fact that we are in week 11 already, like missing just a singular week with the buy is a pretty big deal, right? As you only have weeks 11, 12, 13, 14. You got four games until the fantasy playoffs. So if you're missing one of those games, you're missing 25% of the game. So again, I showed y'all my team. I'm 8 and2 right now. Worst case scenario, I'm seven and three. For a team like mine, like I just traded for Jaylen Wadd cuz I'm like, "Hey, I can deal with a week 12 buy. No problem for me." But if I was like say five and five, especially if I was four and six, I'd probably trade a Chan for Bejon if I could just because you get the extra game played.
Um, going over to Titan, nobody else is in. Nobody's interested here. Miami is stupid simple. You start Jaylen Wadd, you start Devon Achant. You don't overthink it. Um, I know Malik Washington goes out there with the fun touchdown, but Miami Dolphin scored 30 points. Malik Washington didn't score 10 fantasy points. You're not starting them.
Going over to the Baltimore Ravens. Shout out to you if you started Tyler Loop. But looking at Lamar, I played against him this week and Lamar does absolutely nothing. It's very weird to see Baltimore win this game 27 and 19 and see how the Premier Assets in fantasy just simply did not score any points here whatsoever. Lamar scores 16 a half. Um if you are looking at what we have when it comes to rushing, he does carry the ball for nine times only 36 rushing yards. to the rushing hasn't gotten back to where it was um pre-Lower body injury for Lamar Jackson, which will be something to monitor. Derrick Henry does get you 20 carries, but big issue with Derrick Henry is he's a running back that historically not going to provide a lot of receiving volume. So, if the touchdown's not there, you're not going to have a great fantasy day. And funny enough, Justice Hill gets the touchdown at the goal line for the Baltimore Ravens this week. Unbelievable. Now, of course, you all know I faded Derrick Henry this season, so I'm not going to complain about it, but um I wouldn't expect that to be the case going in the future. Derrick Henry should have those rushing TDs.
Lamar Jackson gets six targets in comparison to all other wide receivers here only having five. And then with Mark Andrews, I keep on saying you can't trust him. The dude has no volume and he keeps scoring touchdowns. Mark Andrews had one touchdown here, but I would gonna say the same exact thing. I say literally every single week he had five target. He had 14 receiving yards. Last week he had like 20 receiving yards. Like I I know we've been saying this every single week and every single week he keeps scoring touchdowns, but I'm not trusting Mark Andrew. No way in hell I'd ever put him in my lineup.
Going over and looking at JJ McCarthy, 42 pass attempts leads to 16 and a half fantasy points. He does have 48 rushing yards, which is obviously very exciting. But plan A for the Minnesota Vikings is trying to limit the passing volume for McCarthy. And obviously, when the game gets away from him, if they do trail, they are going to have to let McCarthy rip it, which isn't super exciting. I would not start JJ McCarthy outside of any matchup that they have other than going up against the Dallas Cowboys and Cincinnati Bengals. Right.
Looking at the running backs, Aaron Jones does come away with the rushing touchdown. And Aaron Jones has a total of 15 opportunities in comparison to Jordan Mason with five. So Jordan Mason has transitioned to just being only exclusively a handcuffed running back. Aaron Jones has the goal line role as well as the receiving role. And then going over to wide receiver, the wide receiver one finally for the Minnesota Vikings does something. Jaylen Naylor 23 and a half fantasy points. I know everybody here drafted Jaylen Naylor in round one of their fantasy football drafts. They've really been looking for this type of production for quite some time. I know a lot of people said, "Oh yeah, JJ McCarthy is not going to be able to support a real wide receiver one." Well, jokes's on you. Five receptions, six targets, 124 receiving yards, and the receiving touchdown.
Now, the secondary wide receivers in this offense may not be viable, right? Like this guy Jay Jefferson. I don't know. I can't exactly recall what his first name is at this point, but he comes through with the total of seven and a half fantasy points. Like I I don't think that's a player you can get in your lineup. Um Jordan Addison comes in with a total of six and a half fantasy points. I don't know if that's a player that you can get in your lineup. Obviously joking here. Um Justin Jefferson, I'd still start him every single week. You got to lower expectations dramatically just because J.J. McCarthy is not it. Jordan Addison, I don't know if you can start him because if Justin Jefferson's not viable, how the hell are you going to get Jordan Addison in your lineup? And then I'm not really starting TJ Hawinson any week and know scored the touchdown last week, but very similar to Mark Andrews. The volume's not there. I drafted TJ Hawinson myself in my fantasy draft. I took TJ Hawinson as well as Dallas Gddard and um I ended up dropping TJ Hawinson to just roll with Goddard and then I picked up Herald Fannon too. But yeah, I mean if you have Hawinson I'd probably consider dropping him as well.
Now going over to the Cleveland Browns and the New York Jets. U this was an interesting case. Obviously we don't need to talk about the quarterbacks here. Dylan Gabriel is a turd. Quinnon Judkins I thought was a great start this week. because it's like, oh, okay, well, the Browns are favored against the Jets. How often that is that going to happen? And if you're looking at what we have with Judkins, the limitation is he's not going to get used as a receiver, right? So, he's kind of a touchdown or bus running back. Very similar to Derrick Henry, which when it's going good, it's going good. But with Derrick Henry, it's like, oh, okay, you get to play for the Baltimore Ravens. for Quinchon Judkins. It's, oh, okay, well, you're banished to the shadow realm. You have to play with the Cleveland Browns. So, Judkins only scores 10 and a half fantasy points in this game, but he had 22 carries. He had three targets again. Touchdown, a bus running back, and a bad offense is what you're getting.
Going over to the wide receivers, um, maybe I'm an idiot. I dropped Jerry Judy myself like two weeks ago. I know he scores about 20 fantasy points and he scored the touchdown. This is his first time scoring double- digit fantasy points since week one. If you're going to get Jerry Judy inside your starting lineup this week, you are a certified crazy person. Um, David and Jooku walks away with the receiving touchdown. I picked up Harold Fanner from the Waverwire a couple weeks ago on my own team getting excited thinking that David and Jooku may have been traded at the trade deadline. Obviously, that didn't happen. So, it looks like David and Jooko is going to continue to eat into Harold Fannon. I am going to continue to rank Harold Fannon as the top option in this offense though because we are seeing him with seven targets in comparison to David and Jooku with two this week and obviously the rookie is going to continue to expand the role as the vet um get scaled back in a team that's not really playing for anything.
Okay, now let's move over to the New York Jets. So Justin Fields I thought was an interesting streaming quarterback because he can run the ball. And one thing I did not realize is he is the worst quarterback that's ever stepped on an NFL field. Okay, that's also a joke, it's not his fault he plays for the New York Jets. I will say as a side note, I know this is not the place for it, but I am like the worst sports fan in the world. I know like everybody hears their morals are, "Oh, if you're a good sports fan, you should be a fan of the Browns cuz your dad was a fan of the Browns. You grew up in Cleveland and you're going to be a fan of the Browns from the time you were born to the time you die." Or same thing with the Jets. It's like, "Oh, I grew up in Jersey. My dad was a Jets fan. That means I have to ride or die with the Jets from the day I was born to the day that I die." from somebody who's not a fan of an NFL team. Let me try to get you out of this brainwash. If you were supporting one of these garbage organizations that have never and will never do anything, stop. You can take a step back. Don't support them. make the stop supporting them so bad owners sell the team and we don't have garbage teams in the NFL like this for the next 50 years.
Um, but yeah, Justin Fields, the only guy worth starting here is Bree Hall. Um, you could have said Garrett Wilson was startable, but Garrett Wilson gives you the goose egg and now has a knee injury. And we actually have the coaching staff coming through and saying that this knee injury is the same knee that may just missed the past like six weeks with. So, um yeah, there's now only one player that's startable for the Jets. I just traded for him in my own fantasy league. That's Breece Hall. Um thought he was an easy start this week even though it was a tough matchup on paper against the Cleveland Browns. But it's cuz if you're going to project out to get like 20 opportunities in a game and you're talented like Bree Hall, you got to go for it. And the reason I felt comfortable trading for Bree, even though he's clearly smart enough to never want to be um associated with the New York Jets, he wanted to get traded more than anything. Um it's like, well, he's playing for a contract, so he's going to be out there. He's going to be giving it his all as every game that he has where he looks like this, he's just going to be getting more dollars in his bank account.
Now, moving over to the New England Patriots versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. New England's 8-2 at this point. And in my opinion, obviously, we got to title this live stream every single week. Everything has changed. Obviously, we're in week 11. Not much has changed that we're talking about. But one thing and one thing in particular, this name Trevian Henderson right here. Obviously, I'm going to be working on the rankings tonight. We're going to be making sure we get those updated on the site. We're going to be making sure that we get those out on YouTube for you tomorrow. And the biggest riser that we are going to have in these rankings is going to be Trevion Henderson. While yes, he only has 15 total opportunities. He has multiple rushing touchdowns that look better than anything Readandre Stevenson has ever done in his entire life. Terrell Jennings was out there getting involved. But at the same time, if you are looking at Terrell Jennings, he's now injured. So, Trevian Henderson realistically is probably going to be a borderline top 15 running back in my rankings. Let me go ahead and pull up my rankings right now and just um get your opinion on this in the tier that I'm about to move him to. Who would y'all rather have rest of season, Quinn Sean Judkins or Trevian Henderson in a full PPR format? And yes, I know I told y'all to unsubscribe if I ever said to start Trevian Henderson again, but it is what it is. I'm sorry to see y'all go, but I love to watch you leave. Um, who would y'all rather have? And yes, Trevian is going to cook for Danny in the toilet bowl. We got Judkins. Judkins. Judkins. Henderson. Judkins. Henderson. Henderson. Judkins. Judkins. Henderson. Henderson. Judkins. Henderson. Judkins. Jodkins. Here's my take with it. Judkins probably is a safer workload, but Trevon's a better pass catcher. And one plays for the 8-2 Patriots and the other plays for the Cleveland Browns. If I was in a nonPBR format, it' very easily be Quinn Sean Jodkins here.
It's tough going over to the receivers, Stefon Diggs comes through for Mr. Sammy Stacks with the receiving touchdown. Matt Collins gets you. Don't pick up Matt Collins. How many years do we have to see Matt Collins in the NFL? He's not viable in fantasy. Um Kyle Williams comes through with 14 and a half fantasy points. And I know a lot of people are going to be excited about the rookie finally getting the big play, finally doing something. The dude had two targets. Don't go and um pick up Kyle Williams by any stretch of the imagination.
Okay, moving over to Tampa. Baker Mayfield does not run the ball for a single attempt in this game, which obviously sucks if you start him in fantasy. still does a fine day. I think both these quarterbacks are still must start options every week going into the future. Looking at the running back room, you have 15 opportunities for Shawn White, 11 for Shawn Tucker. It's a really tough matchup going up against this Patriots rush defense, right? Um but you're hoping that Bucky Irving comes back sooner rather than later. Rashad White will still project out as a low-end RB2 when you have no Bucky. He used to be a lot better, but now Sean Tucker is getting too involved. And then I had Ibuka and Jefferson in the same tier ranked back to back coming into this week. I kind of chickenened out and moved Ibuka a tier below. But at this point, how the hell could you make an argument to have Justin Jefferson over Ibuka? No idea when Chris Godwin's coming back. Ibuka 13 targets in this game. Well, yeah, Tez Johnson scores multiple receiving touchdowns. How often do we expect that to be the case? TZ Johnson had five targets. Like Ibuka is a borderline like obviously the untouchable wide receivers in fantasy. Puka Nua, Jamar Chase, Jackson Smith and Jigbbo whatever order you want. Then after that it's like a Monro St. round and Ibuka. Ibuka may end up we're going to, like I said, just make sure you're subscribed. We'll get you the rankings tomorrow, but Ibuka may end up being a top five wide receiver for us in our rankings. Then, um, TZ Johnson, viable streamer if you really needed him. I know he dropped 20 points and a lot of people probably started him because the buys were so bad this week, but he had five targets. I'm not going to run out there and tell you you got to start him. But Kate Dottton had 12 targets. Um, Kate actually very much does look like he is somebody that you can stream if Godwin and Bucky are out next week, which at least Godwin will be.
Now, let's move this over to Arizona and Seattle. Like, this game was a blowout on paper, 22 to 44, but if you watched it, it was a much bigger blowout than this. At one point, the Seahawks were up 35 to zero. And I was trolling Bush in the Flock League chat saying like, "Oh, Seahawks up 35 to zero. I'm sure I'm about to get I must be getting cooked by Kenneth Walker." Of course, Kenneth Walker doing literally nothing. But Jacobe Brassette is a turd. Like, nothing to talk about. Bam Knight, I believe, gets injured in this game. Let me go ahead and confirm this. Do we have an update with Bam Knight, ladies and gentlemen? But um Dermacado does give you the big rush attempt. He did not let go of the ball early this time though. Um but reality of the situation is none of these running backs are any good and at the same time this offense isn't any good. So no real interest in starting any of the Arizona running backs.
Going over to the wide receivers, this is one of the funniest stat lines that I've ever seen in my entire life. Marvin Harrison, three receptions off of 12 targets. 12 targets leads to 33 receiving yards. If you were to have 12 carries and you were to walk away with 33 rushing yards, it would be like, "Oh, this running back had a bad day. What a bum." For you to be a wide receiver in this happens is insane. Um, with Marv, like I guess if you would have brought in that other touchdown, it could have been a big day. He's clearly still just getting alphaed by Trey McBride. McBride goes for 127 receiving yards off of 13 targets. And McBride, I believe, had actually another touchdown that was called back from some illegal players being downfield. Now, of course, with that being said, would he have caught that little shuffle pass for the second touchdown if the illegal players weren't downfield? Who knows? But still, McBride tied in one in fantasy. Nobody comes close.
Then going over and looking at the Seattle end of things, like Sam Darnold on paper, horrendous day. Like Sam Darnold loses two fumbles and an interception and gets a single touchdown. It's hard to say that. Oh, the quarterback was horrible, though. And at one point, they were up 35 to zero in the game. But Darnold's still just a streaming quarterback, right? Look at the running backs. I literally have never heard this player's name in my entire life. Am I just not a bald knower? Am I just clueless? And I'm just exposing myself here. Have y'all heard of this player before? No idea who the hell he is, but he stole a rushing touchdown from Zack Charbanet and Kenneth Walker. And what's hilarious is this guy who I have no idea who the hell he is, he didn't steal this touchdown when they were up 35 to zero. He scored that touchdown at the very beginning of the game. Now, do I think all of a sudden it's a three-man running back by committee? No. But it's still a 50-50 split between Charbanet and Kenneth Walker where neither of them are startable.
Then going over to wide receivers, JSN continues to be an absolute alpha. I don't know if he's officially our most drafted wide receiver in round three of underdog drafts, but I think he is. I need to confirm on that before I come out here and spew a lie on a live stream, but I'm pretty sure it's true. So, love seeing JSN cook. JSN an S tier wide receiver. Again, I think you choose Puka, Jamar, JSN, it's going to be up to you. I'll give you my opinion with that wide receiver ranking tomorrow. No other wide receivers I'd be interested in in Seattle and I'm not interested in any of the tight ends.
Now, going over to the Rams, one thing that I just need to go through and like accept in my mind is I have a very hard time when quarterbacks aren't going to run the ball at all, ranking them highly in fantasy. But there are these one-off instances where you will see a quarterback that's not going to run the ball at all have himself a great fantasy season. An example of that from what we saw last year was Joe Burrow. And that's just Matthew Stafford this year. And we're to the point where the Rams are very clearly going out there and making a an effort that they want Stafford to win the MVP. So, they're going to throw the ball over and over and over again, even when they blow out the Niners like they did. So, Stafford is a must-ar quarterback every single week. Absolutely incredible.
Kairen Williams, I don't know how we should be taking this. Um, I'm going to be honest with y'all. Of course, I was just watching Red Zone. That's what I was do on Sunday. Um, I'll need to see like what the split was between Kairen and Blake Cororm early in the game. My fear is like, oh, we can say like, oh, Blake Cororb had 13 carries, but were most of these in just garbage time when the game was out of hand, which I know maybe it seemed like the score somewhat close this game wasn't close at all. The Rams boat raced them. Um, but yeah, Blake Cororm got a lot of work. Obviously, Kairen gets the receiving work, Kairen gets the rushing touchdowns as well, but um my inclination is nothing's changed with the Rams backfield, but I'm going to have to look into it more.
Um going over to the receivers, everything gets funneled through two players. It's Buganakua, it's Devonte Adams. They're mo both must start options. Um Devonte Adams got banged up. I think was a back injury. like he just kind of pulled up and then he went to the sideline. I know that as soon as the Rams got to the red zone, of course, he was like, "Hey, let me get in there. I want to take my touchdown." So, he was trying to get right back on the field. My expectation Adams is probably fine. And then going over and looking at the tight ends, you just have everybody getting involved. Um, where is Terrence Ferguson on this list? Terren Ferguson even got some work. I don't know why Sleeper's not showing him here.
Okay, now looking at the Niners end of things, Shanahan already came through and said like, "Hey, there's a very real shot we get Brock Party back this week." And if you get Brock Party back, I think you got to be more excited.
Looking over to running back, you have CMC with a bad performance. Oh my gosh. I saw people in the chat crying about how bad Christian McCaffrey was and how Christian McCaffrey can no longer be an S tier running back. And I know my tears are I'm shedding so many tears for you. It's so sad. You only got 17 and a half fantasy points this week. Christian McAffrey only had 10 receptions. I'm sorry, 10 targets, eight receptions, 66 receiving yards. Oh, that is horrible. What the McAffrey is allowed to have a game where he scores 17 and a half points if the Niners get blown out. The dude had 10 targets. What the hell are y'all talking about? He is a-ok. Okay, I know Brian Robinson gets involved. Who freaking cares?
wide receiver Jawan Jennings looks to be the clear wide receiver one. George KD looks to be the elite tight ends. It's hard to take this game super serious when again it was a blowout.
Okay, now going over to the Detroit Washington end of things. Of course you all know I'm an idiot. I don't really know the implications of Oh my gosh, you actually have the head coach coming through and taking back play calling. Dan Campbell said he's had enough and he wants to find a new rhythm with the offense, so he's going to be calling plays. How the hell am I supposed to sit here and pretend like I know the impact that's going to make? Look good this game.
Um Jared Goff, three passing touchdowns. Not going to run the ball at all, right? You kind of know who Jared Goff is. Streamable option based off matchups. Then going over to running back, you have Jamir Gibbs with the massive, massive day. 38 fantasy points. The only thing that could have saved you if you were going up against a Chan or Jonathan Taylor is if you had Jir Gibbs or vice versa. There were three players in fantasy this week that you needed. But Gibbs has been one of the more inconsistent running backs out of the elite options, but the ceiling's been insane. Like the past four games he's played, he has scored seven points, then 36 points, then five points, then 38 points. Um, David McGomery just remains a running back that you can start if you're desperate, but also obviously you got to give him the benefit of the doubt because if you were to get an injury to Jir Gibbs, Montgomery turns into a league winner.
Going over to the wide receivers, I know a lot of people are very excited about Jameson Williams. And we can all jump up and down. We can all go yippi cay. He scored 24 fantasy points. And this is now back-to-back games where Jameson Williams has looked good. Let me do a little something something for you. Let's pull this up. Jame Williams. Yes. Over the past two weeks, he has scored about 40 points. The previous what? six weeks he had averaged about seven. I know there was a new play caller, but the dude had seven targets. If you're going to assume that Jameson Williams all of a sudden is a mustart wide receiver because he was viable in a game where the Detroit Lions scored 44 points. You are falling for the Jameson Williams propaganda all over again. I say it when he's garbage. I'll say it when he's great. He's a big play wide receiver that's going to give you a very high ceiling weekly and an extremely low floor and an option that's very difficult to project to put inside your starting lineup.
Then a Monro St. Brown. I don't care who the play caller is. This is the consistent option. This is the player that you're starting every single week should be really excited about. and he is the wide receiver one with volume and he is going to be the guy that is reliable. JMO next week could literally score he scored 23 points on your bench today. He may score two points in your lineup next week. Sam Leaporta drops 10. I would still start Leaporta weekly. Obviously the floor I mean the bar to get into the lineup at tight end is just lower than the bar to get into the lineup at wide receiver.
going over to Washington like what is this game the Lions boat race and the past three games we talked about none of them were
Competitive football games. Like, look at the running back usage. It's a three-man running back committee, and a garbage offense. Don't start Mariota. None of these running backs look good.
Samuel is the only player that you can start here. You can consider Zack Z as well. You start Debo because you have no Terry McLaren, and you bench everybody else in Washington until Daniels comes back.
Then looking over at what we have when it comes to this game. I had the win. I was eight and two already talking so much trash. You all know how much trash I talk in the Flock League. Like, nothing brings me more joy than going through and beating someone and letting them know that I beat them. Oh, it is truly, it's truly a very fun experience. Thought I had the win locked up in DK Metcalf versus Ladmani. DK gets straight up alpha.
Um, Pittsburgh, you would never consider starting Aaron Rodgers. Um, the running backs, nothing changes. Jaylen Warren, 16 opportunities. Is Kenneth Gainwell with three? Gainwell is a premium handcuff back. Jaylen Warren, somebody who can start every week.
Going over to wide receiver. Roman Wilson acting as, like, I'm over here hoping that we get a garbage time DK Metcalf touchdown. It goes to Roman Wilson instead. Like, do you know how many freaking basketball drafts I've taken you in just for you to do me dirty like this? Roman, DK Metcalf, like, again, the volume's not there. If the big player, the touchdown isn't the floor, it's just so low. It just sucks as somebody who's starting DK Metcalf every week. This dude's been horrible for a month now. And I tried selling him. He was a clear sell-high candidate because the volume hadn't been there. He was running hot with touchdowns. This team just looks to get so many freaking tight ends involved. I, I, I think in Pittsburgh, you're still starting Jaylen Warren and DK Metcalf every week, but every week that goes by that I'm less excited to start Metcalf, it just gets worse and worse.
Then going over to the Chargers end of things. Um, Justin Herbert, great NFL day for him to only walk away with 15 fantasy points. You're still probably starting Herbert most weeks.
Kamani Vidal, insane. Like, go back and look at what we had last week. He drops from 25 opportunities in week eight to 13 opportunities in week nine and jumps up to 26 opportunities this week. Jarrett Patterson has one, and I mean one opportunity. Kamani Vidal, even though Joe Alt's out and even though this offensive line is worse, he is going to be a must-start running back until Amari Hampton comes back. If this is what the Jarrett Patterson usage looks like, which I thought that was all of a sudden not the case anymore.
Okay, so y'all know I drafted Quinton Johnson in every Underdog draft imaginable. It's one of the reasons why we are absolutely crushing those drafts right now. I thought it was over. I thought Gadston coming in was going to just completely erase Lad, completely erase Quinton Johnson. And by completely erase, I just mean make them a lot less exciting because now all of a sudden there's a fourth player they got to compete with targets for. But now we're in a spot and oh my gosh, I have a special, special treat for y'all. Y'all know a lot of y'all don't usually come to these live streams, but just you wait. Well, I have a special guest coming in. She's flown all the way out here from Dubai. Come on, get in here. Come tell them hi. Come tell them hi. Come on. Come tell them hi. Say, "Hey everyone, Quinton Johnson's back." He's back. All right. Sorry. Dog was trying to break her way through the door. Okay.
But anyway, looking at this, Quinton Johnson has 10 targets. I think he's back because of the Gadston injury. Again, it sucks if you picked up Gadston from the waiver wire. He looked like he was a league-winning tight end. Injury doesn't look like, of course, I'm talking out of my ass. We have no information right now. Only thing I've seen is people speculating on Twitter, but it doesn't look like Gadston has like a torn ACL or anything, but because we have four weeks until the fantasy playoffs, realistically, I'm assuming that Gadston probably not getting him until the playoffs, but we'll see, of course. And then Ladmani, the true wide receiver one here. But I do think Quinton Johnson can be startable again now that Gadston is out. But I think that should be almost everything here to talk about.
Again, I'll show y'all what I need for my own matchup to win this and to move eight and two. I'm currently sitting at seven and two. I am down. What is this? About 37 points. I'm down 37 points. I have Josh Jacobs, Saquon Barkley, and Dallas Goedert all to go right now on Underdog Fantasy. If you're looking at the projections, they have Saquon Barkley higher or lower 14.05 points. They have Josh Jacobs higher or lower 14.65. They have Dallas Goedert higher or lower 7.85. So, I am hoping that we can get there. And honestly, f it. Um, maybe if we have a promo tomorrow, we go ahead and take some highers just so we can really sweat it out tomorrow night.
