13:50 ↗

He actually ran well, 7 plus a carry on Sunday. Ryan Grant left with an ankle injury, did not return. Chester Rogers needs to be on your radar. Josh Allen, quarterback for the bills, injured his right elbow in the third quarter. If you saw the play, did you see the play? I did. It was very bizarre. It was very much a penalty. I mean, it was like a double late hit that was not called. A lot of criticism on the NFL. The...

14:17 ↗

what was it, the roughing the pastor penalties that have become a problem? The body weight? Yeah, just the plethora of calls in general, they've greatly reduced. All the concern that was out there, they've gone way down this past week was the least amount of them of this season. I believe there were only three. Players are changing what they're doing, and sometimes that works into the favor of guys named Tom Brady, who should have been sacked.

14:44 ↗

Last night. Yeah, and then he runs for a touchdown. All right, moments away from the stud muffins. But before that, Niles Paul left the game with a knee injury. So any optimism about him is a sneaky tight end. We'll see. You did mention it. You threw it in. Matt Breda is pushing to play. I wouldn't be surprised if he was out there. Now, what does that do for your, because Alford Morris was going to be a fine play, a volume play.

15:13 ↗

if Matt Breda was out. So let's think about this. Basically, the only people that this news directly affects is if you have Alfred Morris and Matt Boreta. Correct. Or if you have Alfred Morris and Aaron Jones, or if you have Alfred Morris and Jamal Williams or Ty Montgomery, that's the people, otherwise you're locked in. You're kind of stuck with Morris. Right. And if you're in that boat, I don't think you're in, I don't think you're in, I don't think you're in trouble for Morris not doing something.

15:41 ↗

will hurt the targets. And we saw Morris be the accidental beneficiary of the injury last week. And Kyle, use check. Yeah, I would reduce my confidence in use check. If you've got Breda and Morris, you find out that Boret is in, do you go with him knowing that he's leaving every single game with an injury, or do you just stick with Alfred Morris and get what you get? I think I would personally play Matt Breda, and I would trust that...

16:08 ↗

The coaching staff has made the decision that they don't want to hurt this guy again, and he's healthy enough to play. But it's not a situation I want to be in. And I would much rather play just play Aaron Jones tonight than either guy. Right. So guys that didn't play on Sunday, Ryan Tanna Hill, Dalvin Cook, Chris Thompson, Jordan, Jameson Crowder, John Ross, Nick Vinette. Tannenhill was the surprising.

16:33 ↗

Now, I thought it was Brooks tober, but it was Brocktober. Oh. It's Brocktober, man. What happened? Your month has been stolen, Brooks. Yeah. Sorry. Did you start Brock Osweiler Brooks in any of your leagues? Nah. Oh, man, me neither. Ryan Tannehill. What was just, like, I'm not, he's of course hurt. We're just, it's a funny situation of you're about to play the Chicago Bears who have just been.

17:01 ↗

demolishing quarterbacks and you kind of pop up late in the injury report, not doubting it. Ryan Tanno had a hurt shoulder. But for Brock Osweiler to come in, get the W, look, I mean, all over the place. His temperature was, was great and terrible at the exact same time. Two picks, three touchdowns, 380 yards, but 28 for 44. I mean, the top five scores on the week in our league of record, Mahomes, Winston.

17:31 ↗

Gurley Hill and Brock right in the middle. Right in the middle. Yeah. Very fun. So welcome to the NFL. There was a point, I think, during Sunday where the top scores were like Brock Osweiler and Cole Beasley and, I mean, it was just a weird week. Well, the top fantasy wide receivers. Oh, that's what it was. Yeah. The top fantasy wide receivers, I'm pulling it up in a standard league. Well, Tyree Kill took the top spot. But before Tyree Kill had played, it was.

18:01 ↗

Albert Wilson, Tyrell Williams, and Cole Beasley. Yeah. Yeah. For the first and only time in the history of Earth, we're going to transition properly from talking about Brock Osweiler to the stud muffins. This week's fantasy stud muffins. Oh, man. This is a funny, a funny little tidbit on Brock. First career start as a Bronco. Beat the Bears. First career start as a Texan.

18:35 ↗

Beat the Bears. First career start is a dolphin. Beat the Bears. The Bears Slayer. Jay Gris. Run and hide. Brock's got your number, Chicago. And that's not a number that, my goodness. Not many people have. That's embarrassing. When I heard that Brock was starting, I figured the Chicago defense would be the greatest thing that we've ever seen. I completely agree. And then people that are mad at that assumption needs.

19:04 ↗

need to watch football. James Winston, pretty much the show started the week last week with the optimism we had came showed up 30 for 41, 395 and 4. Yeah, what a game. Excellent game for James Winston against the Falcons. The Falcons defense is bad and they kept getting hit even more on the defensive side with injuries. If you got a quarterback against the Falcons, it's going to be good.

19:34 ↗

Winston has Cleveland at home next week, then Cincinnati, Carolina on the road. You can play him next week? You can play him, yes. All right. Dak Prescott against Jacksonville at home showed up. First QB1 performance since week 14 of 2017 for Dak. He's only been a QB1 twice in his last 14 games. And to explain how fantasy owners are looking at Dak Prescott, I have Aaron Rogers on by next week, right? So a lot of people are going to be looking for a streamer.

20:03 ↗

Last week before Eli played and before anything happened with this past week's games, I signed Eli. Oh, no. I signed Eli over Dak. Oh, no. Now, I didn't have to play him. But I just signed him ahead of time thinking I need to sign somebody on the waiver wire. That's bad mojo for your roster, though. I still won. But I'm not going to play Eli, but I'm sitting there going like, that's how Dak felt, right? Like he was a dud forever.

20:33 ↗

But this week, he ran the ball. 11 for 82 on the ground, a touchdown. 17 for 27 through the air, two touchdowns. Now only 183 yards passing. But, I mean, is this an outlier for Dak based on the weapons that he has? I believe so. Because even though I have undying love in my heart and my soul for Mr. Cole Beasley, getting it done. I mean, that's an outlier performance. So what was the 100 yards, two touchdowns?

21:02 ↗

And it really was the rushing. Because these are the numbers that Dak was putting up when he was a quarterback won every single week. He was right around the 200-yard passing range. But he would get a couple touchdowns and then he would run for 40 yards. So if Dak is going to run again, then that will change the existence of Dak for fantasy purposes. Yeah, and I'll let that bear itself out on the waiver wire because there's no reason to go out and get him.

21:30 ↗

He's traveling to Washington, then has a buy week. Right. I don't think he's worth a pickup. I'm not excited to play him against Washington. No. Matt Ryan. Goodness. 354 and 3 against Tampa. The almost upset almost came through. That little lateral play at the end almost won the game for Tampa. Yes. If Deshaun Jackson catches that lateral from Evans, the game is over, and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers would have won. Yeah, we'll continue through the studs. Before we do that, I want to think.

21:59 ↗

Pristine. Whoa, pristine auction. What's going on over there, buddy? I may have swallowed my own throat. We want to thank Bristine Oxen for sponsoring today's show. Tyreek Hill signed Chief's jersey. $62 yesterday. My apologies to pristine auction for that. It was just a anticipatory delay. It was a...

24:17 ↗

We talked about Matt Ryan. Let's talk about the truth, Mitch Trubisky, 316 and 3. Rubbing it all up in Jason's face. All up in his face. 25 rushes on the year for 6.6 at carry, so he does move around a little bit. Has New England at home next week, then the Jets. Then Buffalo. I mean, are you? He can prove a lot. I think it's going to be a really rough stretch, though. You would stream Trubisky.

24:45 ↗

Next week, no. Over Eli or Dak? No. No. Not against the Pats, no. Patrick Mahomes, 23 for 36, 352 and 4. I came in. Would you say I was dancing, Brooks? Dancing? Singing? Yeah, you're having a great morning coming in. Yeah, I really like Mr. Mahomes. Look, there are very few players that when they do a full sprint away from the line of scrimmage,

25:15 ↗

away from like a relevant passing position that I'm more excited when they do that because he can throw across his body and hit Kareem Hunt for a 67-yard touchdown. I mean, I think defenses don't even acknowledge the range of possibilities that can happen when he's in that position. It's impossible. I was telling baby Josh this morning, too, what Tyreek does when there's a single high safety.

25:42 ↗

is incredible because the second that single high safety turns his hips. Because Tyreek breaks through his guy, sprints the middle of the field. The second the hips turn, he can cut it underneath. Julio does this all the time. That's what happened on the touchdown last night. Now, that shouldn't have been a touchdown because he should have taken a competent angle to push him out of bounds. But he earns himself. I don't know if there was a competent angle or not. Tyree is just too fast. He earns himself like 30 yards of space in the middle of the field. So just the weapons that Mahomes has.

26:12 ↗

He ended up the number one quarterback on the week. Cincinnati, Denver, Cleveland coming up. Not much we need to talk about with Pat Mahomes. Nope. Carson Wins had a nice bounce back week. Cam Newton did his thing. Andrew Luck. What do you make of Andrew Luck in fantasy? Because it seems like it's death by a thousand cuts for fantasy opponents when they face Andrew Luck. Yeah, it's... I mean, four touchdowns again. And three turnovers.

26:40 ↗

And look, his wide receivers are certainly a part of the dilemma when it comes to all the turnovers that have been happening for Andrew Luck. But he's going to get fantasy points. That's all that matters for Andrew Luck. It's not necessarily something you want to watch and enjoy. And it's a good time. It's just a joy ride through the streets. When you're watching Andrew Luck, like Patrick Mahomes.

27:10 ↗

For the most part, you're enjoying everything that's going on. With Andrew Luck, you're grit in your teeth, you have no fingernails by the end of the game, and then you go, oh, wait. I was fine. He threw for 304? Oh, okay. Okay, we're good. Well, it doesn't help that he's making his hay on Chester Rogers and Eric Eberon. That's not the flashiest of playmakers. When he gets T.Y. Hilton back, though. It will improve. It gets even better. So, I mean, luck is just dependable, reliable.

27:40 ↗

Russell Wilson heads into the buyout with a 17 for 23 for 222 and 3 game. Another touchdown for Lockett. Hot Locket. What are the expectations for Wilson rest of the season? He is a QB. He is the QB what? The? He's still. Is he an 8 to 10 range guy? Is he a 3 to 6 range guy? He is a lower range quarterback 1 for me.
