Week 10 Matchups, In-or-Out, Capes & Shadows

you're going to be able to bench him. I don't love it. That's why I say I'm scared because it hasn't happened yet, but this is fantasy. You're projecting things. I mean, it's happened a little. 12 for 86. Last week. 12 for 86 with the touch two weeks ago. 14 for 75 and 2 for 10 through the air this past week. I mean, those are usable. Yeah, those are solid RB2 numbers. Yes. But I think this is an RB1 week that he hasn't done yet. You can, yeah, and you can chunk.

on the dolphins. The dolphins are going on the road. They are ranked 24th in the league and fantasy points against the running back position. This is an opportunity for Aaron Jones. And like I said last week, if you look at formations, if you look at the film and what they're doing with the offense and having traded away, Ty Montgomery for a bag of potato chips, they're working Aaron Jones into the passing game a little bit. He didn't get every target, but he's in there on those formations. He caught a couple of passes.

He just needs his baseline to rise due to opportunity, and it's happening. So you're saying you can chunk the dolphins, and so we're expecting Aaron Jones to do the truffle shuffle this weekend.

That's a reference that Andy won't get. That's why I directed it right to him. I like it. I like it a lot. The chunk and the truffle shuffle. Yeah, you're welcome, America. Very nice. That's a Goody's reference, Andy. Oh, this is because I haven't seen Gooney. Yeah, that's how it's hard to get the reference without seeing it. Look, Aaron Jones. And that's why your shuffle board team in the office is the truffle. That is correct. And that's with old man Josh. Yes. Wow, that makes sense too. Yeah. Look, Aaron Jones is the reason I pivoted away from Marquez, Valdez Scantling.

I love Marquez in general. I think he's a talented wide receiver who's now getting great opportunity with Aaron Rogers. Randall Cobb, who was practicing, got downgraded because he's just made of glass. I thought the reason you pivoted off of MVS was because you discovered a new talent. I looked to the sky and I said,

What is that star? That star is so far north. It's so far north. And so, no. But you've been, I think it's important. We need to counterbalance. You pivoted off of a start of the week of MVS. Right. I'm still starting MVS in this game. I am too. I agree. I mean, I'm not saying he's a bad play. He just wasn't going to be my start of the week. He is my wide receiver 22. So a lower end wide receiver 2 in this game. I like him a lot. I was always.

down to play Geronimo Allison even in the games where you weren't expecting high volumes. In Valde Scantling is that role field stretcher big plays. Xavier and Howard will be on Devante Adams. Yeah, most likely he will be on Adams. Well, that's not going to stop me from playing Adams and him being an elite play. We don't need to spend too much time on it, but Dolphins wide receivers, let's at least touch on it because the Packers defense is ranked 29th against fantasy wide receivers.

Kenny Stills was a surprise active this past week. Didn't do anything. But with Stills, Parker, Amandola, are you going to smash the glass and play any of these guys? What did Amandola do last week? He was fine. Amandola has been fine every single week. Five for 47. He's the guy. He's actually, I mean, I'll break the glass with the Humphrey's equivalent on a team that should be down by a lot. Sure. Yeah.

For PBR purposes, Amandola has been very serviceable. Seahawks, Rams. Let's talk about this matchup. The 4 and 4 Seahawks, 8 and 1 Rams in Los Angeles. Rams are 9.5 point home favorites. It's a 50 point over under. I believe that that 9.5 points at home for the Rams is a show of respect for the Seahawks. I'm surprised that the line at home for Los Angeles coming off a loss with their firepower.

To me, that says that they, I mean, Seattle's going to have an okay game here. Seattle's defense. What are the big storylines here? I mean, what do we think about Jared Goff? I mean, I have gone for. Jared Garf. I have him rated very high this week, despite the fact that Seattle has been great at stopping opposing quarterbacks. We talked about their matchups. It's a little deceptive walking all the way through. I don't think they're the second best team against quarterbacks, which is what their ranking is.

because they've played a lot of quarterbacks that don't have the capability of being high scores. This is going to be their biggest test. I like Jared Goff to the tune of him being my number four quarterback this week. Yeah, I mean, Goff has proven because of the offense. He's a must start. He can get it out. I mean, all the value that Todd Gurley brings you in the screen game, he's bringing Jared Goff as well. 365 yards a game at home, by the way. Cooper Cup is back, is healthy. I mean, we saw that last week.

So, yeah, I mean, the Seahawks defense has been shockingly good this year. For all the pieces they lost in the offseason, I was really surprised that they have been a solid defense. So, you know, it's which one is going to give and it's going to be the Seahawks defense because the Rams are just too good at home. And like you said, Andy, coming off a loss, they're going to have to.

slit some throats. Whoa. They're going to have to step on. They're going to have to step on the neck. What is happening? And they're going to have to crack some eggs. These people have families, Jason. Metaphorically speaking. My goodness. You're playing too much red dead. You're getting infected. Hog time. Look. Thank you. You're welcome. Brandon Cooks, Robert Woods, Cooper Cop. You were going to play all three of those. You aren't?

Going to play Gerald Everett, but just wanted to ask the question real quick. He had five targets, three for 48. So, I mean, that was his, that was the season high. Too many mouths to feed. Okay. Too many miles. If there was an injury, maybe you start looking at him, but no. Okay. The snap percentage didn't actually go up for him and just.

Happened to get the targets. The tide end on the other side, though. We have some questions there. Nick Venet ran more than twice as many routes as Ed Dixon last week. I had a dream where I admitted that Ed Dixon was terrible. Oh, really? Yeah. And so I'm a little worried. I was like, why did I do that? Wait, you had a dream that you admitted he was not good? Correct. It's almost like a full admission is happening right now. No, no, no, no. Some dreams can't come true. Some dreams, this is one of those. No, no, no.

No, you turn that music off. Look, with Doug Baldwin's injury, both Venet and Ed Dixon will be used. They're going to be down. They're going to be passing the ball. I don't think you can start either of these guys. I don't think you want to chase Vanette, and I don't think you can trust Ed Dixon right now. Can you do an over-under bet with me? On. Ed Dixon's total reception's in this game. I'll take two. The over. So.

Water bet. Oh, man. Nothing like winning or losing a bet on Ed Dixon catching three passes. Oh, I'm going to love it. And I hope he only gets three. If he gooses again, are you willing to take double the water? Sure. All right. All right. Thank you. He had a touchdown. He had a touchdown target last week. Just remember that. He didn't catch it. It wasn't even an end zone target. It was a touchdown. Well, it was in the, it wasn't a red zone. It was, yeah.

I said end zone. Yeah, I've realized that. Chris Carson, Mike Davis, we already talked through that. Doug Baldwin, we talked through that. Tyler Lockett, David Moore. Look, if Baldwin misses, you're starting Lockett in a game where they're going to have to throw the ball. Really, I want to know Russell Wilson. Do you like Russell Wilson in this game? Do you like Russell Wilson or Mitch Trubisky, hypothetically speaking? I would, I like Mitch Trubisky.

Oh, more than Doug Baldwin for this particular weekend. Over Doug Baldwin, huh? You would take, can I say Doug Baldwin? Yeah, Mitch over Doug. Got it. All right, moving on. No. Doug Baldwin is not been super quarterback. Over Russell Wilson. Wilson's been fine. I mean, that's, like, that's the tale of, of this season is he's been fine. You get 200 yards and you get.

Two touchdowns. It's very similar to last year's Drew Brees. We're at the end of the year, Russell Wilson will finish as a quarterback one. But every single week, he's not doing enough to really help your fantasy team. He's not hurting your team. So I guess that's the nice part about him. He's been safe. But you have not gotten the boom that you expected from him. He will have to throw the ball in this game. He will have to. But that's what I want him to run the ball. That's what I want him to do. 20 points, though, seems pretty safe for.

Yes. For Russell Wilson. All right, we need to move on. We got two more matchups to get through and our daily dose. So it's going to be a longer one today. Enjoy, Foot Clan. Dallas, Philadelphia. Sunday night. Sunday night football. Three and five Dallas against four and four Eagles, Eagles seven point home favorites. It's a very low over under, a 43 point over under. One of the lowest on the week.

This is a game where I think you do have to temper expectations for Dallas offensive pieces. Philadelphia's defense is good. Philadelphia is coming off a bye week. Philadelphia is playing a division rival. Philadelphia is going to do everything it can to stop the one piece that can do anything, which is Ezekiel Elliott. Amari Cooper. No, not Amari Cooper. But look, last I checked, Philadelphia hasn't given up a rushing touchdown on this season.

Yeah, it's not a great. To a running back. It's not a great matchup for Ezekiel Elliott, although it wasn't a great matchup for Christian McCaffrey either. So how that worked out. It's not like you're sitting, Zeke, but I'm saying I have him lower than the consensus this week. As do I. I have him at RB8. Yeah, I mean, outside of Zeke, I think you could start.

You can say it, Jason. You can start Amari Cooper. I think you can start Amari Cooper. But I'm not starting Dak. Not starting Cole Beasley or Gallup or Hearns, not playing with the tight ends. I think that's it. It's Zika is a must start. And if you need to start Amari Cooper, it's okay. You would think that there'd be more must starts on the other side of the ball on the Philadelphia offense. But to me, it's Carson Wins, Altson Jeffrey, Zackertz. Outside of that, I'm not starting anybody on purpose.

Maybe on accident, but not on purpose. Yeah, I don't want to, I don't want to roll the dice with Golden Tate, not knowing his role yet. I don't want to roll the dice on Nelson Agalore, not knowing Golden Tate's role yet. And then at running back, I mean, it's, it's nice for, that it's not a foreheaded monster. Darren Sproles is out this week. Corey Clement has missed Thursday practice due to an illness, so he should be fine for Sunday. But let's just talk through the situation.

If Corey is out, and it's Wendell Smallwood and Josh Adams, are you interested in playing either of those guys and which one would you prefer? If Corey Clement was out, I would play both of those guys, and I would probably put Josh Adams in ahead because I expect the Eagles to win the game and be in the lead. Wendell Smallwood is probably going to be, if it was just those two guys, the one used in the passing game. Okay. But, yeah, like, you know, low over under.

Not expecting a lot of volume here. Actually, the guy then to discuss is Carson wins. Oh, you're playing. Yeah. Okay. I mean, I... It's a big... They're heavy favorites. Yeah, heavy favorites. The implied potential for them is a lot better. Yeah, Carson wins. And I guess it is true when we say you can't start Golden Tate or Nelson Agilor or these other pieces. It's because we don't know where it's going to go, but you know it is going to go. Monday night, the one in seven giants, the two and seven 49ers.

the Eli Manning, Nick Mullins showdown. Oh, poor Monday. Again. Bad scheduling. We've got to have bad football. Who didn't enjoy Mullins last week? It became entertained. So here we go. George Kittles is a must start for San Francisco. Matt Berita? Look, no more Rahim Mostert. Matt Berita is a start in this game. The Giants are 23rd in the league, giving up fantasy points, the running back position.

Look, the question is always can Matt Berita finish the game, but he's number one in running back yards per touch in football. He's seeing two plus red zone looks per game. He is a start. Matt Berita is and should be out there for you. Sequin, Beckham, you play him every week. Talk to me about this matchup in a way that makes me want to keep listening. All right. You're going to play Sequin. You're going to play O'Dell Beckham.

The biggest question mark to me of the giant side of the ball is Evan Ingram. Nope. That's a no for you? Yeah, that's a flat out no. I'm not starting Evan Ingraham. It's been incredibly disappointing. He had a historically great rookie tight end season. He's right now on this year, though, he's getting three or averaging 3.4 yards. That's his average depth of target. Last year, it was 8.8, which is, that's a great number for tight end. You want to see that.
