Week 5 Studs & Duds + Marv Trade Reactions! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/12

He's just hiding in the shadow of Watson doing pretty much the same stuff. He's doing the same stuff. He's just not catching the touchdowns. Which is, I think that's how it will be. It's a big part of it. Yeah. I mean, Christian Watson scored an all but one game this year. But both those guys have been, I mean, look, the consolidation of targets. And like I said, Kraft was involved again. It's looking good for the receivers there and the matchups coming up. Parker Washington made two incredible catches in this game. The last one was unbelievable.

six for 124 and 2 you love to see it and then 20 targets from a league neighbors oh that's what's no it's only 11 catches because it's winston that's all right but uh 11 for 121 and 1 he still has the second most the last two weeks neighbors first in routes run first in targets first in receiving yards second in receptions and second in receiving touchdown so he's he was sore uh and you know we were worried about it but

Seems like he's okay. Yeah, that was a game where at one point I was pretty sure they were going to pull Winston. Like he was playing so poorly. I was like, we're going to see JJ. Well, they kept pulling Winston for a play at a time. It was so weird. Dude, what is their plan? What is there the plan? Get that debt cards because it's Matt and Aggie. You are right? Yeah. Oh, let's bring in. Let's bring in 9 or 18. We're going to trade.

We're going to try. We need some quarterback help. Let's go get J.J. McCarty. We'll be the noise. Let's go get. Yes, he was sitting in the rain because he knew what was about to happen to him. With a hoodie on. So they trade for a project quarterback. And then they're playing. Well, they've got to get him work. Is we're going to get him in. And we're just going to run trick plays with him where he's running the ball.

So he can get exploded. Your backup quarterback. This is your plan? Well, they don't want to explode their starter. I mean, that makes sense. What are you doing? Matt Nagy is a joke, but it's fun right now that the Giants can. Listen, listen, Siriani, Dan Quinn, Matt Nagy. Yeah. These guys are not that much smarter than us. No, I. To be a coach, to be a coach, you just have to put on the uniform. You just have to like. That's such a disrespectful thing of the good coaches, but the bad ones. Yeah.

The bad ones just keep getting jobs. I would have spiked that ball. That's all I'm saying. For sure. Jaden, I would have spiked that ball. Yeah. Because the clock was running out. You see? Put the Madden kid in. I know. Good Lord, people. The Madden kid would be dominant in late game situations. We know how to manage a clock. Man, Dan Quinn's reaction, the video. Slamming the headset. Taking his headset off and slamming it to the ground was delicious. It just, I mean, it really.

It really, really was not his fault. It was not Dan Quinn's fault. I mean, yeah. It was part of his fault. You call in a spike. The play is his fight. But he's not the play caller. He's not, he's not even an offensive guy. Like, you are the head coach. You're 100% responsible. You can always override your offense. You can be like spike in here. Of course you can. But at the same time, you don't in that situation assume that.

You would need to say that to an offensive coordinator in the NFL. You don't need to go like, hey, hey, hey, make sure you snap the ball and spike it. Like, of course. Like, I don't know, man. Mike Evans was awesome again. Seven for one, 13 and one and always hurt. Also had the funniest moment of all time when he checked the back of Dick's jersey. That was amazing. But every time he would catch the ball and stand up, his face was like, this man is in.

agony. If he plays, play him. Demario Douglas, two touchdowns for the Patriots. Kyle Williams. Two wide open. Three for 91 and one. I had to pivot off of the Marv prize picks. Kyle Williams was like, I was typing it in as my pivot. And I switched it to like a stupid Bow Melton one. Yeah. And I should have stuck with Kyle Williams. JSN, great as always, Garrett Wilson. JMO, start of the week, baby. That felt real bad when he was like the Cardinals. It's funny. The Cardinals.

made the lines go three and out three consecutive times. It was the first time since 2016 or something, the Cardinals had any, like, stopped somebody three straight times. And then it was all wheels up. Jamo almost had a third one, two touchdowns in this one. That was the story for him. Tide ends, Isaiah likely, Brock Bowers, who is unstoppable. Brock Bowers is going to be on so many championship rosters. It's...

hard to imagine. I guess the only real... He's great. The only real fear there is what happened at the end of that game, which you remember, right? He was not on the team. Team Raiders this week. I did not think it was going to happen, and it didn't in a big way. But Mendoza took over. And so later in the season, if things start to go sour for them, that's your risk with Bowers. But Fryermouth, I think he's a pickup because of the injuries on the wide receiver core for the Steelers. Tyler Warren was 18 points, and Sam LaPorte has been unbelievable.

Leporta was my start of the week as well. But every week he is just, it's really hard to account for the Lions skill players, Amunrah, James and William and Gibbs. And every week, Leporta is just a play here, play there, fakes a block, breaks into the wide open. I mean, did you realize this is the best, this is statistically the best offense through five weeks for the lions in history? Yeah. So the blobfish, now he got to play against his old team. Yeah. But.

Putting up 45 against us. He probably was very happy. That helps. Congratulations. Yeah. All right. Trey McBride with the beastly touchdown at the end of the game. And Jason, who's the other guy from Arizona that scored twice? Oh, Tegan. What's the last name? Tegan. I don't know. I've heard of this guy and no one. Do you know it? Keter Riano? Should have looked into that. Yeah, I don't know. I was trying to. I figured Jason knew. No, I definitely know.

All right, let's talk about. It's like the trade. I just can't tell you. Yeah, I just ask me tomorrow. I'll tell you later. Just out of curiosity statistically, would you say he played well, that guy? Oh, yeah. Okay, just making sure. All right, Duds. Poopped in his big boy pants. They're, they're really, look, you knew, you knew. We knew this was. Well, you knew the matchup was bad, but there's, there's a difference between bad matchup and scoring one fantasy point. Correct. And Tyler Shuck went 16 for 25.

for 96. If you had Olavet, it killed you, Joanson, it killed you. Everybody, it killed you. No one should have been starting them. Thankfully, I think most people didn't. We have been the most pro-Shuck pot around and we- And Sunday live, I was like, we were absolutely not starting. I am abandoning. Read that third bullet point we wrote under there. Yeah, so Shucks pressure rate since losing their left tackle.

49% of 50%. That is unacceptable. No quarterback plays good enough. Tom Brady will not survive this. No, but this was also the Minnesota Vikings defense. And I saw stat. It's so funny to me. And obviously we aren't as smart as these guys in charge. So.

Brian Flores, his defense has been unbelievable. He's blitzing on over 70% of plays, which is outrageously high, number one, in the NFL. This week, there was a point in the game where he was blitzing on over 90% of plays. And it got me thinking, what? What about 100%? Why don't we just blitz more NFL? No, I get like Drew Brie's going to beat the blitz. But it's like...

Okay, but we're talking all about Brian Flores' defense. It's like, what a mastermind. What a mass is like, he's just blitzing. Well, there's a lot to it. Like the DBs, you have to have Clamp DBs. Byron Murphy's amazing. You also have to like, the blitzes come out of confusing coverages. If you watch that game, there are multiple plays where guys are handing players off. You don't know who's coming. That's his, his defense is confusion.

He confuses young quarterbacks, old quarterbacks, all of them. But a young quarterback especially doesn't, they've never seen this before. And so, yeah, he's just masterful. He's probably the best assistant out there right now on any team. It's my favorite team. My favorite team to be on by is Minnesota. Because you don't want it to affect the fantasy play. It ruins fantasy. The Vikings are absolute shutdown. Yeah, that's a fair point. It ruins everything.

Dak, first bad game for Brock Purdy after he took the lead for MVP voting. Through an ugly pick in this one. Two touchdowns, only 189 yards. So, yeah, you know, Dak was fine. He just had the two picks. Bow Nix. I whiffed on that one. I thought it would be good against L.A. He was not good. It's not. Jason, you made this comment. Like, maybe it wasn't Davis Webb problem. Maybe it's not play calling. Yeah. It seems like it's a Bo Nix problem. He's looked.

flat out terrible he's playing against seattle this this week gross i feel like both of the broncos and the chargers like i'm just done projecting any sort of success this is why i've been i've not been confident in wattle because they will have what's going to happen any week they will definitely have games where you're like oh that was the jalen wattle week that was sweet i hope you played him that week um for those two rosters i'm just like

So through through, I'm going to just, I don't care. I'm not going to play those guys. Through five weeks, Jalen Wattle is the wide receiver 36. He's been started well basically one week. He is getting forgiven. Like Herbert is just completely. I mean, he's broken. The charges are broken. Everyone is done with them. I don't think people are done with the Broncos yet, but they are just as bad on offense. They're getting, they're being forgiven because they're three and two. They're winning games. The only losses that they have is against.

the 49ers and the chiefs both on the road. Did you hear the petition the league is doing? They're actually considering removing all victories against the Chargers for all teams. That would be freaking awesome for us Cardinal fans. Yeah. That's how bad. That's how bad the Chargers are. The Cardinals beat you handedly. Like beat the crap out of you. Running back duds. Chase Brown. Yeah. Jeremiah Love 12 for 22 looked awful. Tyler Algier didn't help at all.

Cam Scataboo looked awful until about three plays of overtime. That's kind of a weird, scary one as well. I don't know if it's coming off of injury. Those three plays look great. He was late in the game. This is a rainy game where they talked about. Before the game, it was he's going to get a ton of workload. And I don't know what happened. Obviously, he fumbled at the end, but he wasn't.

pre they didn't know that was going to happen it seemed like he was benched or injured or something i kept asking mike i was searching social media we were searching and searching he didn't play forever and and then you see his uh john dagle posting the rb share since nausea was active i haven't seen it's gone from 70% to 66 to 57 so it's gone down every week it was wild i when he got back in the game i was like oh no

Because the hope was he was injured because otherwise they were choosing to not use him. He basically won them the game, then lost them the game. Yeah. Because the fumble is going to come back. I mean, that is not a good look. Camaro was terrible. Amarine Hampton, 14 for 33. The highlight play of that game was Kamani Vidal. Hampton was actually bad. He was bad. The utilization is worse. I can.

You can point to the 14 carries and be like, okay. This is his worst game of the year statistically. He led the team in. Which I know you don't care about. He led the team in rushing attempts by a good margin. But snap-wise, utilization-wise, he is, I mean, I said it last week. This is not going, this three-way timeshare is not going away at least while McDaniel still has a job. Well, it's leading them to lots of, oh, wait.

Yeah, it's not working. It's funny, though, because you can't really, I was going to say you can't really argue for Hampton on a 14 for 33 week. No. R.J. Harvey, Mike. Oh, you finally got in. I abandoned my boy. You did. I abandoned my son. This is the first time in your 86. I hate them. This is why you hate the Broncos. You have been so.

I abandoned my boys. So pro-Dobbins. My boy. And no one on planet Earth has been more anti-R-J Harvey than you. And I waved the flag. I said, fine. This is what we're doing. And he got one target.

And he went from 10 targets to one target. I'm done with this. Seven rushing attempts to three. I will support J.K. Dobbins in the shadows. Yes. Just believe I always love him. Chris Olave, four for 46. This was a shock problem. It was a Minnesota problem. Yeah, it was a Minnesota problem. O'Donzee and Burden, both on the Dodds list. They couldn't figure out the quarterback position this week. Yeah, agent. So. Seems like we're going to finally.
