Everyone's dead. It's football time again. Shout out to the current megalible leader. Oh, we have a new leader? Jones Mark J-10 is 8-1 with the most total points.

It is impressive that they have a loss as the highest scoring of 15,000 teams. However, I looked at their roster today, and I hate to say it, but they have Derek Henry. Oh, no. I'm sorry for your loss. I've still not accepted that situation for my team. You don't need to. Denials a powerful force, man. Look, you can keep playing him.

Maybe it's worth it. The league won't stop that. Has he? Did he score last week? No. Oh, all right. Zuss and buy sell. Buy or sell? Presented by pristine auction. All right. Last week, Jason ended up getting more of these right than Mike and I. Thanks to selling Kyle Pitts with 10 fantasy points. He ended up with 7.7. Tight in 15. Stupid drops. That's true. If he doesn't drop.

If he catches that one at the beginning of the game, then this. I know. Hey, but hifs and nuts. Ifs and nuts. Ifs and nuts. Ifs and nuts. That's the saying. Doing really well this morning. You don't know it out there, but I may or may not have hit the intro right in the middle of Jason talking when we started the podcast. I, you know, need more sleep, I guess. Week 10 by yourself.

Let's start here. DeAndre Swift returns from the buy. Has Pittsburgh. Is he a top 12 quarterback this week? No. Sell. Yeah, I don't think he's going to throw enough passes. Yeah. I said quarterback. Yeah. You're on fire. Do I need to take over? Yeah. I've had caffeine. Yeah. You had some green smoothie nasty concoction. Maybe that's messing me up. I think there's mushrooms in there.

Uh-oh. Uh-oh. How many hands do I have? So I hallucinated DeAndre Swift, the quarterback. Yeah. Is he a top 12 running back this week against Pittsburgh? They've allowed the second fewest running back fancy points per game, but DeAndre Swift's not a normal running back. No, he is not as he doesn't really carry the ball much. He's averaging, you know, just over 11 attempts a game. But.

seven targets which is like those are the type of numbers that we like for fantasy football keep him healthy but also get a whole bunch of fantasy football points he despite having like a really good season currently the running back 12 even coming out of the buy he's only been in the top 12 in a half point scoring format three weeks still very solid delightful player to have on your team but he just he doesn't hit that

Really high threshold. Mostly because the lions aren't scoring a ton of points. So his touchdown opportunities are far and few between. So I'm going to sell the top 12. Yeah. And Pittsburgh's just, they're a solid defense. Yeah, I'm going to sell as well. Last time we saw him, he didn't have Jamal Williams available. And that turned into a bad game somehow. Yeah. I think with.

With the fact that I don't expect him to get in the end zone against Pittsburgh, it's possible he ends up with 10 receptions for 100 yards. I mean, that's, you know, receiving yards. That's in his range of outcomes. But I think while he is a safe play, he's not one of your high upside guys. So if you're saying he's going to finish the week as an RB1, I think there will be 12 other players better than him. I'll sell it as well. Mike Williams against Minnesota four catches.

He had seven plus receptions in four of the first five games. Each of the past three games, five targets, two receptions. Does he come down with four balls against Minnesota? We've had to lower the bar so much for Mike Williams. This is sad. It is sad. At least he's been consistent with five for two over the last month every single week. I am going to buy this.

I think that he is still talented. I know that the announcers during the broadcast were talking about how he's dealing with injury, but I don't think he was on the injury report. So I'm not sure how that's lining up, but it kind of makes sense because he hasn't really looked the same. That being said, his last three matchups, Baltimore on the road, the New England Patriots, where we talk about them taking away the number one option. And then last week, Philadelphia, they put their best corner on him.

I think against Minnesota, there's going to be enough points going on where Mike Williams is involved. Four catches is not, I think, an unmanageable line. So I will buy. I think you convinced me to change my opinion during your conversation. Which direction? I'm going to. It's a good point. I'll buy it. I think he'll get back on track this week. You know, had some, you know, slays a good.

corner. And even though he left injured during the very end of the game, there were some plays that I think any other corner or the majority of them would not have stopped Mike Williams from catching the football. I think he'll get back to four. Yeah, I'll buy it too. Well, well, well. Let's hope we have some differences here. Jalen Hertz against Denver is the top 12 quarterback. He was a top 10 every single week. I said quarterback, right? Yep. I'm doing this right now. The last two weeks quarterback 25, quarterback 12 on the dot.

In Denver. Yeah, this is an easy buy to me. And the reason why is because he hasn't been good for fantasy. He hasn't been great for fantasy the last two weeks when he's looked good on the field. I don't expect him to look good against Denver. I think that they are a very good defense. So are the Chargers. I know they were missing some DBs, but I mean, 11 for 17. Yeah, I mean, I just expect Jalen Hertz to have a bad game. So he's going to be great for fantasy.

And he's going to run a lot. And I definitely think he'll be a top 12 quarterback. Mike? I will buy it as well. I'm not going to bet against a man who's averaging a quarterback who's averaging 55 rushing yards a game. Now here's the interesting thing. Thank you. Andy is in a spot now. Bye. We're all winning this week, boys. First place. Yeah.

Yeah. That was by our sale, brought to you by pristine auction.com. Pristine auction.com. Use the code ballers to get a $10 credit. News and notes from around the league. Presented by Sleeper. That was very Christopher Walkian. The Creed concert just keeps exacting its toll. Would you end the statement on an upnote? Mm-hmm. I'm Ron Burgundy? You're, yes, and what else?

All right, news to talk about. We had conflicting reports yesterday on a Dalvin Cook legal situation. His team came out, said he was the victim of domestic abuse. Later, a lawsuit was filed against him as he was accused of being the perpetrator. Adam Schaefter was the original.

tweeter of the situation. And the truth of the situation now is that there's nothing actionable for fantasy players to do. Correct. I guess if you wanted to try to ensure Alvin Cook against the unknown, you could try to put Madison on your roster. But this was a situation that happened in 2020. The police were not called when it occurred. And the legal situation, he said, she said, is going to have to play out before anything.

important happens. Yeah, the situation is unfortunate because clearly something happened. Someone was a victim of domestic abuse. But we just don't know. They're basically accusing each other of like the exact same thing. It's a very bizarre situation. But as far as like just news and what can you do, this really feels like a situation that's that won't shake out until.

Like the off season. Yeah, I don't expect this. Like I'm not, you know, seeing this news and like, oh, no, this is going to, you know, sideline Dalvin Cook unless something different and bigger comes out. I don't expect action to happen to Dalvin Cook this season. As of right now, unless Brooks has new information for me, O'Dell Beckham Jr. is a free agent and does not have a new team yet. So the report this morning is that he has narrowed down his choices to the chiefs.
