Fantasy Football - Week 10 Matchups + Wheel of Shame, Backwards Hat Bros - Podcast for 11/7

Dan Dan. Couple guys, couple guys that appreciate a good goatee. I think the winner gets to be declared Dan the man. That's accurate. That is Dan the man. Yeah. I, Dan Quinn wears his hat in a way where he thinks he's the man all the time. Hello fellow kids. I have not had a problem with the backwards hat thing until very recently. And I don't mean in general. I mean with Dan Quinn. Oh, what happened? I think he's aged out of it. Jason that was about 15 years ago no that's the whole that's what we've been saying for a long time when you don't have any hair but white hair you probably flip the hat around never I don't know I feel like a year ago I was like I feel like it worked for him and now I watch him I'm like it easy Colin Cowherd I'm not saying he's just saying it's not a good look for him wow breaking news yeah thank you he's 55 years old

Oh, I would have taken the over on that. Sorry, Dan. Let's see. He's only 55? Yeah, I actually was shocked, too. Yeah, like if you look at him and Pete Carroll, what's that gap? That's got to be over 20 years, right? More than that, right? Yeah, I think Carol's 76. Yeah, they don't look that far apart. All right. 74. Well, the commanders don't really have a functioning secondary. Are you moving to a little JMO conversation this week after he scored last week? And they kind of lived up to their word. They got him the ball a little bit. Yeah, just always open to it. I mean, Amin Ra, of course, Jameson, it's only a 16% target share. I think, honestly, I am the Isaac Tesla guy. The quote,

of course just gets my dynasty team very excited of the hey we got to figure out we got to get him more involved they did talk about other players too of getting them more involved so i think that that kind of just i don't think it really pans out what's going on what happened what happened chuckles i i got my curiosity got the best of me and i went into chat gbt and i asked it i said give me an age where a backward hat is no longer cool do not tell me anything but the number okay and it gave me a number okay is it 41

Oh, which means. Oh, you're not cool. I can still do it. I can still do it. Jason. What are you doing over there? I'm saying that's stupid. I'm standing up for the old guys with backwards hats. Backwards hats bros. Unite. Yeah. Oh, you look so cool guys. That just made me laugh. All right. Thoughts on JMO. You shared them. Debo on the other side versus JMO. You'd play JMO. I would. Alec Pierce versus Jamo. Alec Pierce against Atlanta. We talked about him yesterday. Man, I think I'd go Pierce. Alex Pierce has been too consistent. There's just so many ways it can go. You know, Leporta, Andy, is your start of the week this week. If Leporta has a good game, I really doubt James and Williams does. Because I always assume Alman Ra does. And then if they're up and in a healthy lead, which they're favored by more than a touchdown, then you expect, you know, my start of the week, David Montgomery and the running game, Jemir Gibbs, like.

There's just too many mouths to feed. I really like Jared Goff this week. I'm throwing that out there. I actually think Garrett Goff's going to get it done. Maybe they all get it done this week for Detroit. A little bounce-back game. It would be nice, Mr. Jared Goff. Last year was so good. It was okay. It was better than this year, though. The Lions have won, I don't know if you said this, but they've won 12 games following a loss. Man, that's when you brought up Montgomery yesterday, I'm like, man, I love the Lions after a loss. I didn't even know that number.

It just feels like they always respond. The best teams do. That's crazy. That's tied for the longest streak by a team in like 15 years. Yeah. Traylon Burks played 51% of the snaps. We're so back, baby. It tells you where Washington is. Can we, is it possible? We can bench. Annie got a catch. We can bench everybody in Washington. Can you play nobody? I think Marcus Mariotta is in play, not in a single quarterback league. But if you're in a two quarterback league, he's a. He's a top 10 machine with his rushing upside. They're going to have to score in this game. He's not an incompetent quarterback at all. Marcus Marietta or I assume that Justin Fields is starting. Justin Fields or Marcus Marioata? I would take Marcus Marioata just because Fields is playing against Cleveland and.

Miles Garrett and I don't like that. I don't like either of them. Mario's playing. No, I get that. But, like, you might be in that situation where you're half in a stream. I guess I'd go Marioita at home. I'd go Fields. You always would. Well, we knew that. I mean, you don't count. You don't count. Yeah. Josh Allen or Justin Fields? I would go Josh. You liar. Whoa. Anybody else from this game? Zach Hertz, you're interested in? No, thank you. No, no Jaden Daniels. Pittsburgh's 5 and 3. They take on the 6 and 3 Los Angeles Chargers. Vegas line Los Angeles minus 3. The overrunners 45 and a half. One thing that we can talk about real briefly, you know, we've talked about a lot at the trade deadline. Chargers were not active to, you know, they didn't go out and get a running back to replace Hampton. So I found that moderately encouraging. This is a team that is 6 and 3 playoff plans. They certainly.

I think if they thought Hampton wasn't coming back at any point, I think they absolutely would have made a move. They didn't. I find that encouraging. I think Hampton, you know, I don't know how much he impacts your fantasy team. How many weeks there will be of that, but I think he's going to get back for this team at some point. Well, the nice thing is if he gets back in the season, it'll be for your fantasy playoffs. He could be, he could still be a league winner. So the Chargers in this one, though, they won't have Hampton. They'll have Justin Herbert my start of the week. He is two yards away from setting his career high in total rushing yards on his season. He's going to get there. I think you're right, Jay. Kamani Vidal. It seems like when you... It was not silky smooth. When you want to start him with confidence that's happened two different times after a big game, and he didn't deliver.

Right? I mean, you got that monstrous performance in week six, and then he he dipped down to five and a half fantasy points in week seven. That is honestly true. Against Tennessee. Vidal. Vidal is just destroying souls because the Miami game. Yeah, he's on benches. You had to wait because there's report. Oh, Haskins is going to be the main guy. No, it was Vidal. Like, sweet. I'll play him against the Colts. 14 opportunities, five and a half fantasy points. Oh, he's not good enough. We can't play him. He's playing Minnesota. 19.2 fantasy points. Oh, fantastic. We made a mistake. Got to get him in our lineup. The Titans, this is the best matchup. Super good. Three points. So do not bench him. You have to put him in your lineup, but you can't look at your screen while you click. He played 72% of the snaps. That's, he's still playable. 72% of the snaps for any team is great for a running back. Like those, those.

assets, if you've got player X as the name, and you don't know who it is, they should be started in most situations. Now you tell me it's the Chargers. Camani Vidal or David Montgomery. I was going to say the same thing with Monongai, so put him in there. I'd play him over Monongai. Yeah, I think I go Monty Vidal, Monongai, because it looks like Swift is back. Rashad White. No, Rashad. I would rather play Vidal. Wow, okay. Rashad White's. Oh, I know. He's stinky garbage, but I mean, Bucky won't be back. Right. No, I mean, both of these guys are going to get the majority of their work. But I think Vidal has a better opportunity here. All right. Ladd-McConkie targeted on 29% of his routes the last month. Keenan Allen's been outside the top 40 in five of six weeks. And then Quentin Johnson got back on the, you know, fantasy relevant train last week, four for 53 and a touchdown. Yeah, I'm going to start all four of the pass catchers from the Chargers.

That includes Gadsden? Yes. Your start of the week? Yes. That's good. Oranda. Gadsden. Not Ariane Grande. Arronde Grande. Galdes. There you go. Nailed it. Yeah. You're not going to get a good game out of all four of those players. That's a fact. But I don't want to miss the incredible games that all four can provide. So if I've got one or even two of them, they're probably one or both in my line. I think Keenan is the one I'm not. I'm not locking in as a, I'm starting. I would put him last of the four. Yeah, like I think you could have other options that you'd feel better about with Keenan Allen. But like, perfect example. His floor is real bad. I would agree with that. I play Parker Washington over. That was the example. I would definitely play Keenan over him. If you say who's going to get a touchdown, I put the odds of Keenan being much higher. Okay. It's been a, it's been a rough run for Keenan. It was a rough run for lad for a while. It's just going to flip back and forth between these guys.

Aaron Rogers on the other side, the big win last week against Indianapolis, giving them a second loss. Jalen Warren's your start of the week, Mike. We know the chargers are a run funnel defense, 27th and yards per carry allowed. They give up almost five a carry. Jalen Warren's a great start matchup-wise. You want to talk about the Kamani Vidal of the wide receiver position right now? It is the not-so-smooth D.K. Metcalf. Dude, it's brutal. It's been really hard to predict when he's relevant. three top 12 weeks in the last five. So then you're like, that's great, right? The other ones. Yeah, if he doesn't score, basically, if he doesn't go Devante Adams around the goal line. I mean, some of these, he's probably up there with Adams in terms of like these top inside the 10 target numbers. Devante Smith or D.K. Matt Calf. I have a league where I have to make that decision. I have Smith in there right now.

I lean Smith. I mean, I'm back at my Zay Flowers or D.K. Metcalfe. Zay Flowers against Minnesota. And I think the Ravens are going to do very well. So it's just does Zay get anything going? The D.K. Metcalfe is a brutal fancy player right now. So, yeah. I mean, do you have thoughts on McHaf, Jason? Yeah, please tell us what to do. Yeah, I see him as, you know, I've got him this week as my wide receiver 24, which I feel like is fair. You are, you know, that borderline low end two where you need the touchdown to be happy, but you have decent odds of getting a touchdown. What do you think is on the year? Higher than that, probably wide receiver 20? 21. So, you know, to answer your guys of specific questions, I would definitely play to Vante Smith over him. Flowers is.

I'd probably play Maccaf over flowers. I think I'd play Flowers over Metcalfe. There you go. No help at all from the fantasy footballers podcast.

Philadelphia, six and two, Green Bay, five, two, and one. Let's redeem this island game we got on Thursday between Bo regrets and Gino Smith. Oh, it shall be, I mean, Jalen Hertz going off now that I bench them. I know it. Oh, yeah, because you played Bo Nix. Green Bay is five, two, and one. They are favored. Two and a half points at home at Lambo.

Over Under is 45 and a half. It should be fun. I mean, two of the biggest NFC contenders on a Monday night football game. Yeah, this is a great one. Philly coming off the buy, Green Bay coming off a loss. You know, they're another team that I have a lot of confidence coming off a loss. We'll get it together. Are you surprised that the over under is 45 and a half? As opposed to hire? Yeah. Not with these defenses. I think that's about right. I mean, we're in a position where we kind of don't know what to expect from Jordan Love week to week. You know, he has...

had games where, you know, he was start a week a couple weeks ago, ended up having a big game, was disastrously bad last week. I mean, just single-digit fantasy points for the first time this year and made some throws or decisions that turned into throws that were atrocious and embarrassing. Where are you with him at home, though, in this matchup? I mean, Philadelphia's defense right now, we know what they are. They're pretty good against quarterbacks and wide receivers. I mean, I... I tried to get on board last week, and I'm back to where I was all season, which is he's a talented quarterback that does not have enough right now touchdown option weapons. He's down his number one guy. That being... Tucker Kraft? Yes, Tucker. Okay. I didn't know if you were saying Golden was going to be out or...

I said his number one. I didn't say the third string guy. Usually when you make a comment like that, you're making a joke. Oh, no. Without Tucker Kraft, it's harder. This is a very, very important game for seating and all of that. So I think that they will really utilize Josh Jacobs a lot in this game. And that will come at the expense. I mean, we've talked about it a lot. Jordan Love is an F in our consistency score. It's about 22% of his games in his last 17. No. Our start worthy plays, and this is a tough matchup. So I'm out on love this week. Keeping an eye on Musgraves involvement. Are you curious at all? Do you think there's a world where he's relevant the rest of season, the way that Otten has kind of come into frame for Tampa? If you lost, yeah, if he lost Kraft, he was a okay type of pickup compared to, I'm sure what else was on there on your waiver wire at the tight end position. I'm going to close my eyes on this one.

simply because I've talked about this several times through the season in the matchups against the Eagles. The Eagles for multiple years have been just really, their personnel is really good against tight ends. It's not an exploitable matchup. So if Musgrave doesn't have a good game this week, I will still be willing to say, oh, they might use Musgrave more and more rest of season and kind of forgive a potential bad performance. If you lost Kraft and you picked up Musgrave, and let's say Juan Johnson's on the Waver wire. Would you roll with Musgrave or Joanne? Jaun. Okay. And then Romeo Dobbs. He's been getting it done. I mean, you only have the one ceiling game, but over the last five weeks, he is averaging eight targets. It's only going to get better. No golden, no craft. That's what I was talking about. I mean, he's. And Christian Watson. You know, the last one, those two should be much better. Eight points, 10.2, 7.9, 12.6. These aren't.

You know, these aren't weak winning numbers, but these are as a... Well, no, it's Romeo Dodd. It's a better option. He's a better option than people think. If we just said, hey, there's a wide receiver who had 140 targets, 90 receptions, 1100 yards. You'd be like, yeah, I want that. Yeah. That's the pace since the by week the last month. And now they're out. Now that Tucker crafts in a better place. Oh, man. If you didn't hear that, Romeo Dobbs' comments about Tucker Craft's injury. It made you question whether Tucker Craft had passed away. Oh, man. On the other side, it's pretty simple. Hertz. Saquan, Brown, and Smith are in Dallas Goddard. It has a career high in touchdowns right now. Yeah, they have been using them around the goal line on both regular targets and kind of trick plays. It's wild because he's never been utilized like that. He's also got games with seven targets, nine targets, 11 targets.

this season. So I think he should certainly be in play as a start. And my feelings on Tank Bigsby are very similar to Brian Robinson. That if he's out there on your waiver wire, if you have Sequin, I would protect myself. I think that should Barkley miss time, I think Tank Biggsby will be very, very good for fantasy. Injury updates for you. James Cook says he is ready to go for week 10. That's great. And then Bucky Irving, Chris Godwin, not practicing again on Friday. Can we stop reporting on Chris Godwin? We don't need to do that anymore. He's out until the end of November or December. If you told me he's practicing, I'd be like, okay, I'm not playing him. I mean, that's not. Yeah, I did think about Tampa, man. When they drafted Ibuka, everyone's like, what are you doing? They're like, Jaylen McMillan was a monster.

at the end of the year and godwin you just gave him a contract and mike evans is coming back can you imagine where they'd be right now if they didn't draft a mecca abuka in terms of competition in this struggling i mean that is such a fundamentally important draft pick that they made you just take the best player yeah all right we're moving on fantasy face off presented by prize picks Well, these two guys were, well, they were perfect last week. Four for four on both of their selections. That's, see, that's, you say that with a backwards cap and it's a problem. Caching. Yeah, that's, that's not cool, man. Me fellow cool kids. I, I went two for four. I am spinning the wheel. It's time. Wheel of shame. Hooray. There it is. Okay, let's see what you got. Let's you spin that wheel, Andy. Go ahead.

run and spin it okay we got uh reporter the count i'm hearing sounds cat person farting around oh no wet wet wet shame bag oh my gosh just as a reminder we wanted to make sure that you didn't forget that you lost the water bowl as well and got chopped it was a bad week so we don't want to see your face and do you get the brown bag the brown bag treatment this is humiliating yeah um humiliating Well, it looks. Can you see? It looks a lot better. I think this is a family show, sir. I win it with the name. Uh-huh. I thought he was getting a doused soggy paper bag. Oh, so I'm going to tell you. Do not condone waterboarding. I am a little disappointed. I'm sorry, man. I'm sorry. I apologize. It was, he lost the water bowl. He'll get, he'll get his water. All right. So who do you got a quarterback, Andy? Let me tell you.

Uh, it looked. Oh, there it is! In the face! In the face! Yes! Yes! You thought you were getting wet with a wet soggy bag? Come on, man. There's a fantasy footballers. I think you got them right in the eyeball. Oh, no, did I get you in the eyeball? There's only three spots I could get them. You know how gross this smells now? Yeah. Oh, man. Probably like a wet dog. Yes, you got me in the eyeball. Oh, I'm sorry, man. You must be good at that game. Okay. I deserve it. At the fair. But I, I, there's more coming man. Oh, man. That's not yet. Just go. Matthews Stafford. Don't worry about it, man. Matthew Stafford more than 23 and a half passing completions. Okay.

Okay, I'm going with Justin Herbert is rushing yardage. She's been on fire. His projection is 23 and a half rushing yards. I'm going to take more than that this week. Justin Herbert is my quarterback as well. He's my green goblin. Okay. I got 224.5 passing yards. All right. I took the more. I hate you guys. I'm going. Are we running back? My microphone is all wet, Jason. Stop it. We do have technological. I did think about that. And I went, don't care. Don't care. Yeah, running back. Who you got? Wet bag. Bam night, less than 36 and a half rushing yard. All right. I like that one. This one is my most fun one of the week. It's also scared. These are, so we have a couple of these when we're going into every Sunday where it's like they are really fun to play along on price picks with. And this is one of them where I'm just going to be holding my breath. Jacori Kroski Merritt.

First rush. Oh, those are fun. First rush. Yeah, yeah. Three and a half yards. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Against the hard to rush on Detroit Lions. I'm going less. I'm going less. Better hope it's not third long and they run a draw. No, no, no. It's got to be first and ten. Hand off to Bill. Get stuffed. Stop talking so much. All right. Spray him again, please. I'll spray. I've got Derek Henry. Projection. Bam kitty. This is so bad. Derek Henry, 16 and a half rushing attempts against the Minnesota Vikings. The way I see that game going is Henry will eat. So I'm taking the more. Christian Watson. Oh, Christian Watson. 19 and a half yards. Okay. Longest reception. Oh, okay. Going more. Okay. Get a big bomb. For wide receiver, I've got Tess Johnson. His projection is three and a half receptions.

against new england i think he will overcome that i'm gonna go more i don't mind that i'm going with new orleans i'm taking chris olive hoping for a consolidation of targets and receptions chris o lave give me a drink oh oh wait you're in a misting mode what are you doing i i i regret saying that chris go on chris olave five and a half receptions i'm taking the more is it back to me it is on the tight end my green goblins trey mcbride more than 39.5 receiving yards and my green goblin is also tied in sam la porta more than two and a half reception i do i already used my green goblin so get ready for this one boys spray ah godness stop it uh the world's slowest man dalton shultz oh man he has been getting involved lately and i know i know what it is i make my guess less than 0.5 broken tackles i wish i wish no i think that he is going to be necessary this week
