Starts of the Week + Week 3 Breakdown - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/19

all year long type of player. But in this matchup, I think Philly can score and their secondary looks bad, so I'm going to keep playing them. I have Olave as my start of the week, but if Olave struggles and we go down the path of Garrett Wilson and Drake London and these guys that we had higher expectations for, obviously you didn't draft Olave to be the wide receiver at 89 and 26. But again, two weeks is not a season make. No, and they're weird. broken games. So, so I think he's going to play well, but what is the panic alarm going to be if he has a dud? If he has a dud, I think against his secondary. I think there will be reason to have a solid panic because honestly he's not, I will be shocked. I'll be shocked if he has a complete dud. He's looked good on film. His, you know, target pecking order is great. But like Mike said, both games for the Saints were just broken. They just blew them out and it wasn't due to.

OLAVE. If you had drafted James Williams late, which is where you were drafting him, and you had OLAV and you've been disappointed. And you had to choose between those two players for this week, Jameson against Arizona or OLAV against Philly. Are you just going with the player that you drafted higher? I would be playing OLAV. I think that's a really great question. I think people have that exact situation. I would, I mean, I hope you can play both of them. I would play Olavee, though. The Chargers are 2 and O. Oh, by the way, Camara. Yada, yada, really good. Please play him. The charges are 2 and O. They take on the 2 and O Pittsburgh Steelers. The Drafking Sportsbook line, Pittsburgh minus one and a half at home. The over under is 36 points. This in our show doc putting the test to testosterone. G. Roe versus Arthur Smith. Oh, baby. Greg Roman, Arthur Smith. Pittsburgh is averaging 38 and a half rushing attempts per game. I can tell you. Stash versus the goatee.

I can tell you, I have Jalen Warren fluxed into one of my leagues because the utilization started to go up. You remember he's coming off an injury in the preseason. Week one, they barely used him. Last week, it started to get the utilization went up and he was pretty effective. Oh, bless you, Andy. He's in my lineup. Oh, yeah? He's on the mod squad over here. Yeah, so, you know, these are the number one. Pittsburgh's number one in the NFL and rush attempts per game and the charges are third in rush rate. You know, so you're talking about run versus run, Justin versus Justin. Is this game going to be as boring as it feels? Yes, I promise. This will be a game where there is a combined 80 rushing attempts and 40 passing attempts between these two teams. So then are you, look, J.K. Dobbins is in. The matchup stinks as of right now where the Steelers are ranked against the run.

But J.K. Dobbins has been that dude for two weeks. It's Gus Edwards. Are you playing him? Yeah, I think he, I would play him over Swift. Okay, what about Ford and Edwards? The Gus Bus. Ford, I think I would take the shot because I do think one of the Browns has a lot of fantasy points. Gus needs the touchdown to be valuable, but he will get 15 carries. Dobbins. This is a weird game where you could legitimately start four running backs in the game. J.K. Dobbins has had 135 and 131 rushing yards in each of the first two games. But his line is set at 50 and a half. It's fair. I think it's fair against this defense. You're not so in on Dobbins after those two weeks that he'll blow that line out of the water. I don't, I'm just saying, I think that the line is fair. I would like, again, I think that JK is, I think he's a must play until you see.

Otherwise. Yeah, I would expect him to do better than 50 and a half rushing yards. The fact that there's four running backs you might play in this game and fantasy and one wide receiver. Basically. Yeah. It's kind of pickens. It's pickens and you probably, you're really risking things. I mean, I saw Joshua Palmer hit more waiver wires this week than anybody else. Ladd McConkey. I watched his film, you know, like this is a very talented player. but he's going to have to make the most of the few touches he gets. I think Ladd will have a line this week where he has like seven, eight, nine targets. He's going to, but for nothing. This is a good pass rush and they're going to get the ball out quick. And I think that he'll end up with like, you know, six for 40 and no touchdown. So it's not someone I'm wanting to start. That'd be bad, McConkey. Yeah. Oh, got him. And Herbert didn't practice Wednesday, but he was seen in limited.

or seen participating today. All right. Well, um, one more segment before we close things out. Uh, we are back into the parley parquet. Nice to see things going terribly yet again. Where's my crown? Uh, the week two results are in. Yes. Yes. I managed to project Rashad White to pass a measly 25 receiving yards. Um, he had five. Five receiving yards. King of the castle. So I am a clown this week. That was the fewest receiving yards in 20 games for a shot white. It's a little tighter than I thought this week being the first that I got the clown wig on. Yeah, I had I had Remandre Stevenson with two and a half receptions over and he had five targets and he had two receptions with 11 with basically 12 minutes left in the second quarter. How he didn't get to three. I don't know, but he didn't.

And then somehow, Mike, it didn't look good to start, but Derek Henry, 70 plus rushing yards was your line. Trust the process. And it worked out. So week three, what do you guys got? I'll jump in here first as the current king. Brandon Ayuk, an alternate line of 60 plus receiving yards and 13 games with Debo out. He averages eight targets and 65 yards a game. Plus, the matchup is good for him this week. And Debo being out, I... Think Iyuk, this is when IUC finally gets going. All right, Jason, parley, parte, who do you got? I've got James Cook over two and a half receptions. That's the third time you've gone to the... You have to do this every time now. I'm all necessary. I was almost over half interception for Will Levis. That was very tempting, but I went over two and a half reception. James Cook is there receiving back. He's...

crushed this line so many times in his career. Last year, Jacksonville allowed the most receptions to running backs. They've got a great pass rush. I think you'll have a couple screens just designed to go over the top. Better be three. I think it'll be three. All right. We're previewing the game tomorrow, but I'm going to go with Kyler Murray, 225 passing yards, the alt line. You have to throw against Detroit. The running game gets shut down. It should be a game where there's a back and forth high scoring affair in Arizona. and Kyler averaged 245 passing yards per game at home last year. Yeah, we'll get Marvin Harrison involved. And last week, Kyler had 266, and the game was over basically at halftime. You just can't run enough on Detroit, and you are going to have to score against them. So 225 passing yards is what, we'll see if I can get the crown. This is the week, guys. Triple crown? Triple crown. I think I look good, man. The wigs look so much better than I.

Thought they could? I actually think I do look good in this wig. I think I look good with my hat crown. All right. That was fantasy forecast presented by Draft King Sportsbook.

One more reminder. Take the players you're playing out of flex spots. If Remandre's in a flex spot, put them in the running back spot for tonight's game.
