All right, that's fair. Sony Michelle, in or out? I think he's going to play this week. Okay. Marlon Mack, it was pointed out by thousands of you that we did not have a good Barlin Mac discussion on the breakdown yesterday, which? Or any. Which you're right about. We're right about it. It was an oversight. We didn't talk about Marlon Mac. First of all, do you think he's going to play? Second of all, if he plays, are you playing him? What do you think about Marlon Mac in week 10?

Inside the episode
137 passagesYes and yes. It's never a good thing. You don't want a player coming off of a bye week. No, you don't. Who's still practicing limited, which is what's happening with Marlon Mack. So you have to pay attention. You have to monitor. However, the week prior, you know, he's been dealing with the hamstring issue, which you've got, you just have to give it rest. And they gave him extra rest during that week in a way that made me think Marlon Mack, who was, you remember, he was going to be my start of the week. I worried about him because of the rest they were giving him.
Then they went out and gave him 25 carries. So no, I think he's active this week. I think he gets a bulk of the work. I'm a big Marlon Mac fan. I think you can play him, but it's not a very good matchup. Jacksonville is top 10 against the running back. I think with Leonard Fournette there, I think the game is going to, you know, it's going to wind out a little quicker, and the plays are going to slow down. So I don't think this is a huge upside game for Marlon Mac. But he is a startable player. I don't worry about the injury right now.
Carry on Johnson, in or out. He will play. He's been limited all week. Him in Laguerre Blunt actually have been limited all week, but Theo Riddick is the problem. Yeah. He's your pump. Because Theo Riddick's in. Yes, Theoretic will be playing. And the matchup is really bad for the Lions running backs. What about Doug Martin, in or out? Limited Thursday. He'll probably be in. Not a good week for him. Jalen Richard week. Doug Martin? I'm sorry, Doug Baldwin.
I mean, he's out of my lineup. He's out of my lineup. He has not performed when he's been air quotes healthy, which he has. That's all he is this year. That's the best case scenario for Doug Baldwin. His air quotes healthy. He has not performed. Now he's got a new injury. This isn't the knee. This is a groin. McGroin. And so he's out of my lineup, even if he plays. Sammy Watkins, in or out. I'm going to say out. Didn't practice Wednesday Thursday with the foot injury. Jameson Crowder, in or out.
He returned to practice. I think he'll be in. How do you feel about Maurice Harris? Yeah, my start of the week was contingent on James and Crowder being out. That's what I said yesterday in the show. I'll definitely be pivoting. I'm going to watch for the practice report today. You can check Twitter at Andy Holloway. I'll pivot off of Maurice Harris if Crowder is active. It's too much of a risk at that point. Quincy and Noonois, in or out. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, but it won't shock me if he ate.
plays. I'm pivoting to Antonio Brown. It's official. Too late. Already played. Dang it. Find someone else. Go at him feeling. Can't buy week. Keep going. You can grab Tyree Kill, though. Tyree Kill works. There you go. Robbie Anderson didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. In or out. Same thing as Quincy. I believe he will play. Yeah, he sat out Wednesday and Thursday last week and then did play. Rob Gonkowski, in or out. Limited practice for Grunk. I...
lean that he won't play because they have the bi-week coming up, get him just a full multi-week of rest for his back and his ankle. So maybe he plays, but if you have Gronk, you need to be preparing. Don't be caught off guard Sunday morning that he's enacted. And then George Kittle, in or out. He's got a chest contusion. He was wearing a non-contact jersey. You saw him get hit.
and kind of have that look about him. He plays on Monday night, however, against the Giants. You're not going to be able to pivot to Evan Ingram. He's probably owned. No, from what the reports are, it's not expected to impact his availability for Mondays. Do you prepare yourself, though, as a fantasy owner, if you, you might. You know, what's your, is it Red Al? I mean, no, I mean, honestly, you might be able to get Angram. I mean, in, I think most of my leagues, Ingram is available. A lot of places. I've dropped them.
everywhere I had them. So just give a little peek real quick. You might be there. All right, Foot Clan, before we get into the fantasy forecast, I want to thank Sea Geek for sponsoring today's show.

You guys probably already knew this from my flag football days, but I learned through that service. Brett Fav is my father. Oh. I learned that I have the trait for elite.
Athletic muscles. I learned the same thing, Mike. Did you learn that, Andy? No, no, Andy didn't learn that. I do not have elite muscles. Flabby. Yeah, that's what the two options are. It's elite muscle group or flabby or flabby. I was in the flabby category. Flabby Abby. That's what we call you now. No, no, I don't think you will. Twitter. Twitter. No, stop yourself.
I will race you right now. Don't poke the bear. We'll see who has elite muscles. All right. Let's start with this matchup. The Redskins and Buccaneers. The Redskins are five and three. The bucks are three and five. It's a 51.5 point over under and the Buccaneers. Wow. Oh, this doesn't surprise me at all. Are favored by three in this game at home.
I feel like this is a 3 and 5 Redskins team against the 5 and 3 buccaneers from this matchup in the sense that the Redskins are so depleted. Their team has injured left right and center and most importantly on that offensive line. I have personally given a team-wide bump down to Redskins players. They're on the flabby side of this match. They're on the flabby abbey, as we call them. And they're on the road. So, yeah, I'm not a fan.
of what I've seen from the Redskins offense this year other than Adrian Peterson. And now he, look, he's not a pass catcher. He's running up between these tackles. He's got third and fourth string guys to pass block for him now. It's one of the reasons, look, them being favored, Tampa being favored, is one of the reasons I am a fan of Maurice Harris in this game, especially, you know, if Crowder is out. The Buccaneers are the worst past defense in football. They give up 38 and a half points a game to fantasy wideouts.
name somebody that's going to score at the whiteout position for Washington. Who's going to absorb some of that 38 points? Let me ask you this, because Tampa Bay, they're allowing the most slot yardage in the league, 150 yards a game, and that's where Maurice Harris made his money last week was in the slot. Let's say that... Do you pivot to Crowder? That Crowder is bad. Will you pivot just right to Crowder? Not as a start of the week, no. Because Crowder's just been... He's just been so inconsistent. You haven't seen a target total for Crowder.
That's been in that category that you saw Maurice Harris last week. So I will move away from Harris because I'll tell you who I think I would be willing to start here. On the Washington side? Yeah, on the Washington side. Vernon Davis? And it's gross. Vernon Davis is definitely in consideration. I mean, you look, Reed is still leading in targets, but Vernon Davis just looks better. He's always had a report. You're trying to protect yourself from some food dribble?
You're trying to put on that, Bibb? I am. I am. A little baby, Bibb? This is a little deeper, but the matchup says the past catching running back is valuable. Chris Thompson has already been ruled out, and now Capri Bibbs is a full practice all week for leading up to week 10, because Bibbs has been injured as well the last couple weeks. Did get a touchdown last week, and so I think if you're hurting at the running back and you're in a PPR format,
You can put on the bib? I think you can put on the bib. All right. It's going to get a little messy, but that's what it's there for. Exactly. Break the glass, put on the bib. I don't want to get my applesauce on my t-shirt. Good, good. I love Ryan Fitzpatrick. He's my start of the week at the quarterback position. Yeah. The Redskins, they give up 32 points a game to the, I'm sorry, they give up 20 points a game to opposing quarterbacks. It's 24th in the league. That's not good.
No matter what happens, game script-wise, it seems like Ryan Fitzpatrick or James Winston finds a way to have fantasy relevance most weeks for Tampa. When you have Mike Evans, Deshawn Jackson, Chris Godwin, Adam Humphreys. And hold on. You listing Adam Humphreys as the last pronounced with an Humphreys. He deserves to be listed after a...
Two touchdown performance. That's the way it works. No, but I'm saying he's at the back of the list. Oh, you want me to move him out? Where he belongs. The guy's playing, last week, 82% of the stats for Adam Humphreys. He played more than Godwin. He played more than Chris Jackson. His market share was 16% of the targets. I don't care. Calm yourself down. He is Cole Beasley. Yes. He does the same thing. Beasley has these games that are big. Are you picking up Adam Humphreys over any of the three other wide outs? No, of course not.
I'm asking Mike, the Humphrey lover. I would play Humphreys over Godwin. That's fine. I don't mind that at all. I would not over. And I wouldn't over to Sean Jackson because I want, I want the opportunity that Deshaun Jackson provides. But it will not surprise me in the slightest if D. Jacks has another, me, and Adam Humphreys is like six for 70. Deshaun Jackson pretty much always is like fourth.
in their target percentage or snap, snap count percentage. He's not a guy that is out there every play, but the value difference between a guy like Humphreys, who's going for, you know, two, three yards, slant, get a little quick pass and fall down, usually, and Deshaun Jackson, who's going 75 yards and catching a bomb touchdown, is very, Deshaun Jackson.
has a low snap percentage and is the 17th ranked running back on the season. And the games where he's done, yes. He's there because of the first four games. Are you expecting a ferocious pass rush from the Redskins? Are you expecting them to be ahead and him needing to pepper Humphreys with targets? The game script's a lot different this week than what we had last week. That's why my confidence goes down. But O.J. Howard, he's a must start at the tight-in position each and every week.
That's really where this matchup is. I mean, I don't think we missed anybody here. Barton Barber would be the discussion. Yeah, he's been limited in practices. He is a running back back in. He's a maybe. I mean, he's a three, I guess. Yeah, he's a running back three. Maybe. Maybe Barber. Barber or bibs? I would start barber. I would go barber. Yeah. Get a haircut. I'd rather get cut. You got to put a bib on to go to the barber, right? Is that what they? They call it a cape? Don't they go to cape?
I don't think they call it a cake. I think they do. I honestly think they do. Yeah, I think it is called the cake. Shout out to the barbers out there. All our barbers out there. Tiki, if you know anything about this. Let us know. Ronde, please. Yes. The Chargers at 6 and 2 take on the 1 and 7 Raiders. The Raiders are 10-point home underdogs. That's one, Gruden. A 10-point swing is a Gruden.
