Starts of the Week, Wk 7 Matchups, Who Am I?

With T.Y. Hilton, there is a little bit of worry I have with Hilton. I'm glad he's back. I think he's going to be unbelievable. We said trade for T.Y. Hilton. I agree with all of that. This isn't necessarily the best week. First week back from an injury, probably he'll be shadowed by Tredavius White, who has done good work on Devante Adams, Corey Davis, and DeAndre Hopkins. So it's not a perfect situation. First week back.

from injury against a good cover corner. He also might not be 100%. Exactly. I mean, he said his own quote was, me at not 100% is still better than most people. Yeah. But that doesn't give you confidence. Oh, I like his confidence. That re-injury can't happen. I think it's a middle of the road start Hilton. Would you rather start Allen Robinson or T.Y. Hilton this week? I would rather start Alan Robinson because of the injury. I want to, I want that weak buffer because what I don't want to have happen is have T.Y. Hilton come out.

re-aggravate something and give me a goose egg. Are you willing to start? I'll play Hilton. Are you willing to start Chester Rogers this week, Mike? With Hilton back and a game where, look, the Colts low over under. Yeah, I guess if you're absolutely desperate, but Christian Kirk or Chester Rogers? Christian Kirk. Here's the first three weeks. When T.Y. Hilton was actually playing, here's what Chester Rogers was doing. Three receptions, three receptions, two receptions, all three of those matches under 20 yards.

Yeah, that's not great. Hilton's the alpha of this team. The passing game goes through him and we'll go through Eric Ebron. Naeem Hines, Marlon Mack and company in the backfield. Mac last week had a great game statistically on the way back, 87 yards rushing on I think 12 carries. Naeem Hines has been pushed to the sideline. This is not a game where you're looking at the Colts having to come back necessarily.

So Naim Hines, I do not feel confident starting this. Oh, you cannot start Hines. Not in this match. Yeah, this is the game script for Marlon Mack. You expect the Colts to be winning seven and a half point favorites at home. Just three carries last week for Hines with Mac back just two receptions. Yeah, Mac. And that was a game they lost. In certain situations, Mac will lose playing time because when the Colts are coming back.

It's still Heinz. That's what they did last week. But this week, I'm not expecting them to be coming back. So Marlon Mack is interesting. Naim Hines or Duke Johnson rest of the season? Duke Johnson. Wow. With the... I answered too quickly, but I still think it's Duke Johnson as well. It's probably Duke Johnson, but the possible emergence of Nick Chubb gives me hesitance. I don't think Chubb would really eat into what...

Duke Johnson's role is and what he's successful at. Those two actually compliment each other really well. It's the possibility of a three-headed time sure. That's all I'm talking about. Where Heinz's role doesn't go away. Heinz role is secure to me. If they're coming back, they go to Naim Heines. All right, the three-and-three Texans take on the three-and-three Jags in Jacksonville.

Jacksonville is a four and a half point favorite. It's a 42.5 point over under. You guys were talking earlier about the kind of troublesome matchup for Watson, right? Watson was the Who Am I? If Jacksonville struggles at home this week, their defense, you know, another 30 point plus defensive failure, are we going to stop looking at them the same way? We should. If that happens for another week in a row.

Yeah, you have to stop just viewing them as this lockdown can't play against them because they haven't. And we've talked about this before a lot. It's just such a different team with Leonard Fournett and without Leonard Fournett. They can't run the ball as well as successfully with T.J. Yeldon, who is a little banged up right now. Yeah, he did return to practice, but he is dealing with his own injury.

So, you know, if their offense can't, if their offense has to run through Blake the Snake Bortles, that's not been able to. It's not going to be great for their defense. I don't think Bortles really gets back on track until we see Fournette back in the lineup. It's been a struggle for him, you know, I haven't seen it. I haven't seen him step up, even drive to drive when they need something. T.J. Yeldin's banged up on this offense right now. I have, I think this game's going to be under.

that 42 and a half points. I think it could be a very low-scoring game. I don't have confidence in any past catchers in Jacksonville. I don't, I, people want to know, do you start TJ Yeldin, right? I still start him. I think you have to. Yeah. But he's really banged up. Like, they're, Jamal Charles could see some actual work this week. Like, I think 10 to 12 touches for Jamal Charles is in the cards.

And Yelden is not an elite enough talent where he doesn't need the volume to give you that production. So I'm a little bit scared about Yeldon being a trap in this game against that front for Houston. DeAndre Hopkins, people may be concerned about Galen Ramsey. You still play him. You still play him. Will Fuller's been struggling. Yes. immensely. The emergence of Kiki QT to Will Fuller has really.

been devastating three targets the past two weeks for will fuller he he needs more than that i know he's a one play guy he's he's a one touch man but we got to get him some more volume the coaching staff said they're not even they're not really sure why will fuller's not getting targets classic classic coaching uh talk there where i i just don't know what's going on my team i don't know why he's not getting targets had a bit of a hamstring problem yeah so i'm

I'm not really interested in Fuller or QT, at least as high-level plays this week. The Jaguarers are still limiting big plays, which makes me not excited for Will Fuller. And I know that Dak came in and had a big fantasy game, but his numbers were not outrageous. They were good for fantasy purposes.

All right, moving on. Let's talk about the two and three lions taking on the four and two dolphins. This game's in Miami. This is interesting. So are the dolphins, is that right? Let me check that line again. Are there three-point dogs at home? Yeah, that doesn't make sense to me. Brock Osweiler. Okay, that is why. Yeah, I had a one-point spread. Maybe it's up to three now. But yeah, Brock Osweiler is going to be the starter again for Miami.

Despite the victory last week, Vegas not expecting a repeat Brock performance. Yeah. It was crazy. I mean, 380 yards passing. Most of that, Albert Wilson, yak attack. What are you looking at in this matchup between the lions and the dolphins? What are the big decisions for fantasy owners?

I think one of the big decisions is going to be Kenyon Drake because he's always on that bubble of can I start him? Can I not start him? And I believe this is a matchup where you can. The Detroit Lions have been pretty good against wide receivers, pretty poor against running backs. Maybe that actually speaks more to Frank Gore. I was just going to say, would you rather start Drake or Gore because I would rather play Frank Gore? That depends to me on...

If I'm a favorite and I look like this is an easy matchup, I'm going up against a, you know, a loser of a team, then give me Frank Gore. Give me the short carries against the poorest defense. 11 carries, 12 carries, 15 carries. Exactly. His workload is going up. But he still is not that good. I mean, genuinely. He's had a couple. No, I know he's had a couple really great.

games where he's broken through, but he's also shown games where he hasn't. Six point seven a carry, five point two a carry, but when you say not that good, you mean it in the fantasy context. He's not bringing you a lot. Exactly. Not the on the field context. He's not blowing up. And I do think Drake still has the higher ceiling this week in this backfield. So if I need to swing for the fences, I would lean Drake. But this is a week where you can look at the dolphins running backs, I believe.

It's the one way, I mean, Gore only has four receptions on the year. So that's why those numbers aren't up. Drake will catch the ball. Still needs to break a play. Albert Wilson, you chasing points with Albert Wilson? I'm okay with it. It's, look, Albert Wilson, his cornerback matchup is not terrifying this particular weekend. So.

It feels really, really like the futile chasing points, but I'm okay with him and your flex. How confident are you and Kerry on Johnson on the other side at the running back position? Carry on coming back from an injury. The Dolphins have missed a tackle on 27.9% of rushing plays. That's the worst in the National Football League. They've been very bad against the run. But they are at home. And Carry on is a bit of a wildcard. I know that.

You love him, Jason? I do. And you would marry him if you could. Yeah, you know, I've been waiting. I said this is going to be a second half of the year player who has shown very well. Every time he touches the ball, he looks clearly like the best back on the team. Theo Riddick has been missing some practices. Carry on, yes, he left the previous game with an injury, but he had an entire bye week. He's practicing in full. We're actually going to talk about him in a little bit. I think that this.

could very well be the breakout game for carry-on. I am extremely confident in starting Carry-on Johnson this week. The matchup does not scare me. The opportunity coming out of the buy with the rookie to get more work is a common thing that we've seen before. And I think he will lead the team. And we saw last week before he got injured, he was the starter. He came out and started that game. Had he not got injured, I think the breakout would have been one week before the buy.

I think it's coming this week. Oh, it's so smooth. Let's talk about Kenny Ghaladay. Kenny G. And his friends, Golden Tate, Marvin Jones. Kenny Golladay. How smooth will it be for those three? I'm interested in playing all of them regardless of the dolphins. They're metrics against fantasy wide receivers. They're 13th.

You know, on paper, it seems... If you're not one of the elite great or the elite bad, it's just you're an NFL defense. Kenny Gallaudet averaging over eight targets per game. Golden Tate is being overshadowed by what Kenny Gulladay is doing because Golden Tate has been incredible, incredible. 51 targets, 33 receptions of 430 yards. He's leading the team. He's...

He's a great play. Marvin Jones was the man last year. He is the third option on this team. Would you play Tate or Gulladay? Gulladay has been more consistent than Tate. Tate's had the one monster game. I would still play Kenny Gawaday over Golden Tate. I would lean Tate, but I can get the argument for a higher ceiling. We're going to get you eventually on the Kenny Goladay. I don't know why you think I don't love Kenny Gulladay. Why don't you love him?

My belief in Golden Tate is not mutually exclusive from also liking Kenny Gallaudet. So at some point you might like him? Someday. You just, you always have a hesitance. I do have a hesitance. And the hesitance is not Kenny Gallaudet. The hesitance is Golden Tate and Marvin Jones. You can't always know where that ball is going to go. So I'm going to go to the guy who's the number one target, who's worked into more of the screen game, who's a great yak guy who's done it for.

The last four years, he's always a 90 reception, 1,000-yard guy. Kenny Gallaud is a 4-for-80, and hopefully he scores, guys. Yes. But he's good. He's good. It reminds me a little bit of, I've heard the comparison to an even stronger A.J. Green type of body. Yeah. You know, you see him make those hands catches at the top. Watching the- Not as refined of a route runner as green, but he's got...

positional or I mean, he's sturdy. Yeah. Watching the film on Kenny Galladay can get you real hyped because some of those catches he makes are just, they're awesome. I mean, you, you were to that beautifully. Like his body positioning is exactly what you need as a wide receiver. And that's great for any wide receiver. But then when your body positioning is that on point and your body is, what is he's like six? He's a monster. He's like six three. Like, didn't.

then it's really hard to defend. Well, and we may have to, you know, 6-4-214. You might have to readjust your view of him in terms of trades and things like that because cashing in on him could be a mistake. Agreed. The 3-2-1 Vikings take on the 3-3 Jets. The Jets are at home.
