Week 9 Studs & Duds + Allen FIRED, Barn Burners - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/4

And I had a chance to stay being a head coach, but I lost because I threw a fade to De Ernest Johnson. Yep. Nick Chubb, little chub, 15 for 39. Didn't work out. Jerome Ford returned. The 15 carries, though, are noticing. I watched him, though, and he's just, he's just not there yet. Yeah, I agree. He's not there yet. They're going into their buy, but he had 16 last week. Yeah, he's getting the work. It's just, he is becoming their lead guy. It's just a matter of whether you believe he's going to. return to form at any point this season or not. The positive that you can give for Nick Shub right now is it's a bye week, get another rehab, try and get a little bit stronger, and then you are against the New Orleans Saints. Yeah.

Everybody's been able to run on that. Yeah, the Saints are a great matchup. He should be good there. But the stretch run after that, Pittsburgh's tough, Denver's tough. I didn't go into that. I just said the good news. Pittsburgh's tough. Kansas City's tough. I mean, Rico Dattle or Chubb rest of season, I would take doubt. I would as well. Chub's not going to catch passes. Jerome Ford is healthy, and the team needs game scripts that are conducive to what Chubb does best. And I'm worried about him. Alexander Madison was not a good. Nine for 36, lost the goal line carry to Zemir White.

And he was on the back of the Abdullah Express. They were down. Oh, he still exists. They were down in this game. Remember we had posters made for the Abdullah Express? Yeah, it was very excited for Amir Abdullah. It didn't work out. There it is. There's the Abdullah Express. Looks just like that little wooden toy train. Yeah, he was actually very involved as they were down. So that that's a tough thing to see because you would hope that Alexander Madison would be more of the past catching back, but he was, he was not. It was Abdullah. Puka at wide receiver 1 for 11 and a punchout. What are you doing, Puka? He's keeping his knee healthy. It's really dumb. I don't understand why any player punches a helmet. Ever. Why would you ever punch a guy in the helmet? It also was getting out of a car in a road rage scenario and punching the truck. With your fist. Yeah, punch the window. Oh, so you don't hurt the person. You hurt your hand. It was also.

You thought that call was soft, Al? Yes, it's a weak suspension. It looked like a pretty small, like it was so close to a shove. It was like a shove to the helmet more than anything. If his hand was open with a closed fist? Yes. It wasn't, it was soft. It wasn't like a wind up. It wasn't an uppercut, you know. It wasn't a wine. It was like the guy pushes him. He just kind of, he just kind of barely hits him back. It was a little soft. It was soft. It was weak. But. regardless, you ended up with no puka in the game, not for injury reasons, but for ejection reasons. And they won anyways. They did. DeMarcus Robinson was great. Yeah, I mean, that's back-to-back games with double touchdowns, right? Yep. But don't play them because that's the only way you can ruin it. Marvin Harrison, two for 34 and a fumble. Five duds, four good games. Do we need to have the conversation about Marvin Harrison being more of a...

a pivotal play in bad matchups where you see the game scripts going sideways. He has to play the Jets and that secondary next week, then goes into the buy week. I don't know. I wouldn't be putting in like spot start waiver fodder over him. Let me let me read this though. Six weeks span. Okay. Wider's here 26, 58, 113 16. 113 he got hurt. That was 14% of snaps. Just saying, if you get knocked out at the very beginning of the game, I'm not going to hold that against you. It's just that the lows for Harrison are 62, 58, and 74. I throw that game out. You've been happy once in six weeks? Yeah. That's all I'm saying. Yep. And right now he feels like one of those players that people will start until their season is over. And I'm not sure that there aren't some other names out there that you might, on a certain week, want to get into your lineup. I mean, nobody started Jason over Marvin Harrison this week.

But that was a decision you could have made against the Rams. And that's all I'm saying is maybe. you should think about. And I will say that you need to be looking at the matchups a little bit because if you look, you know, he was good against the Rams when they were beat up. Detroit is a team that you could throw on, not run on. He was good. Washington's defense. You know, they've gotten okay, but they're not a world beater. When he plays San Francisco's a great defense, Green Bay is a great defense, the Chargers have been a good defense. Chicago's a great, I just brought that up, a great pass defense. Those are the duds, duds, duds. So this week against the Jets and Sauce Gardner, I'm not sure he's ready.

If the Cardinals get handed off, we know this, if they could hand it off every play they would. That's the new offense for them. And how do you beat the Jets? You run the football. So this is not a Marvin week. I would look for if you've got other good options. I mean, the question is going to come up. It's going to be because of the week, Quentin Johnson or Marvin Harrison. That will come up. Who does huge play this week? Unless they're in the buy. They're not in the buy, right? No, they've already had their buy. They play Tennessee, the Titans.

who are number one against wide receiver. So that won't come up. No. That won't come up. Jalen Waddle, two for negative four and a touchdown irrelevant. Jalen Waddle was the number one player that I saw comments about this weekend across the board. Yes, I know we got into the end zone. It was a two-yard catch. That's not enough. Not involved in the offense. Do we know what his yard is was? It was a seven-yard. Yeah, we got two-up, as complete, to Waddle for 12, and then the touchdown was a seven-yarder. Okay. Then he lost. 23 yards on the scramble play. His actual line, which still is bad, is two for 19 with a touchdown. And he disappeared for the vast majority of the game. Because the 23 negative yards. And he got hurt and came back. Oh, he pulled. Yeah. He can't believe. He waddled. I can't believe this guy does it every game. It's a joke that is not a joke at all.

We're watching, and I felt bad on this one. Yeah. Because it looked like the way he was... Well, we thought he got like a broken leg. Yeah, I thought he broke his leg. He had to have broken his leg with how he was acting on the field. And then it was like two plays later, he's back out there. It's like... That's not least a 10th time this happened. At least. At least 10 times. I mean, that's got to be significantly low because he's played, he's had to have played 30 or 40 games in his career. And at least half he's gone out injured and came back.

It's, it's, I think it's a, I don't want to, I'm gonna, I'm gonna whisper it because I just feel bad about it. Okay. I think it's pain tolerance. Mm. Calling him soft. I'm, God. I don't know what to say. I mean, it's hard to play in the NFL. I'm not saying I wouldn't. Yeah. Have you ever been like slide kick cleated? Yes, I have when we played flag football. It sucks. Get up, you play the next play. Sorry. Not by a 380-pound monster. My experience from flag football. We've all been there from adult. Well, I don't remember you rolling. I don't remember you rolling around grabbing your leg. That's for sure. Michael Pittman was not a thing. One for 14. The Colts offense was just. By low on Brian Thomas Jr., him coming off the injury playing Philadelphia. Sure. Got the past funnels of Minnesota and Detroit coming up.

Yeah, that's one I would look at. I love that. Keon Coleman should have scored, but just one for 21, despite Noah Mari Cooper and now a wrist injury. That's disappointing. DJ Moore, Mike, you said it. You said you wouldn't mess around with it. It looks bad. Nine targets, brother. I, that's, they are the, the Bears wide receivers is the craziest situation of all these plus matchups, good players, and. No production. And sometimes the team scores points. And I don't know where they go. Hey, guys, we're back in the doldrums that tied in. Sam Laporta, two for 28, Najoku, five for 29. Mark Andrews, two for 26, Hawkinson, three for 27. Pitts, one for 11. Kincaid, four for 32, commit zero for zero. And Zachert's one for five. That is, almost all those players were started this week. Yeah, I mean, that's who you started, which is why Tray McBride had a.

Just an outrageously good week. He dominated your competition. Sticky Gisicki, baby. Sticky Gisiki. I mean, literally, Gisicke was other than Gisicke and McBride, they were like the only two that were recommended that performed. I mean, you got Kelsey tonight and you got Otten tonight. So that top five should change because both those guys very capable of entering the top five with the very low Josh Oliver bars set. I would assume that Aughton will be in the top five. I think Kelsey will too. We whispered about Taysam Hill, especially I feel like he came up on Sunday Live, maybe, but it was with Jamal being out and Kendry Miller being on IR. It was like, oh, Taysam Hill, this is probably where he scores. All right, tomorrow waivers, big time waivers show, and we have the trade deadline tomorrow.
