to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Hi. Welcome in Monday, September 20th. Correct. The fantasy footballers podcast. We're back again. Mike Wright, Jason Moore, Andy Holloway. Yes, I am back again. Once again, asking for a Monday night miracle. Tilt watch.

that I was denied of last week. Yeah, I mean, I think you're overstating it. I think you were overstating it both weeks. Isn't that a miracle? Last week would have been a, last week was a very large comeback. No, it was a miracle that you were beaten last week. Yeah, it was a massacre. It was a Monday night massacre last. Yes. But I mean, you need 10 points from Jamal Williams tonight. In a half PPR. In a half PPR. Possible, but still that like 10 is. 22 last week from him.

Sure, but a lot of that was in the garbage area of the game. Just saying that this is definitely not a slam dunk. I know what you're doing. And this is fantasy. This is psychology of fantasy players. If you're in it, you're not objective. And if you're in it, you're afraid of saying something that may ruin you. And you don't want to concede that you have a good chance tonight. You're calling it a miracle. I have a chance. But I'm still bleeding, guys.

I still have a giant gash in my side from last week. Yeah. What would you say, Andy? You're not in it. The odds? The odds. Then he gets 10 fantasy points and a half PPR. You need 10. Jamal Williams. In a half PPR, I would say your odds are 80%. Wow. Wow. I put him at like a, I mean, this was the 45%. I put him at 55%. I'm sure you do. He came off the injury report. Swift stayed on it later.

one of the top targeted backs in a half PPR. You talked about garbage time being the reason why without acknowledging that the Packers are heavy home favorites. Now, if you don't win, I don't want to be held responsible. But I will. Hold me 80% responsible. No, I mean a wild weekend once again. Just a crazy wild weekend with some surprises.

I think on Wednesday this week, we're going to hit a new segment. Oh, we're doing it? Yeah, I'm going to commit to it right here. Okay. It was Mike's idea called Unsolved Mysteries. But there are, I mean, we're two weeks into the year and making conclusions around what's happened like Carolina's defense. Yes. Are they good? I don't, I think they might be. Or the Saints offense or the Denver Broncos offense. I mean, there are a lot of questions. Yes. So we'll do some unsolved mysteries this week.

after we have Monday night football play out and find out if Mike's still part of the show. But it is Monday and... It's just sophisticated. We have some reactions from the weekend, only delivered in the most sophisticated manner. It is Monday Punday. We have the Poo Orleans Saints. Oh, Stiggy. Cooper couple touchdown. Oh, couple touchdown. The best part of waking up.

It's starting Cooper Cup. Oh, man. Tyleria Higby. That's an all-timer. Yeah, that one's good. Elijah Fizzle or Elijah Misfire. Yes, failure to launch. D.A. Moore. Oh, he's good. Yes, and Tony Hollard. Or Michael Pittman. Oh, yes. He got deck.

Mascot. And Crap Prescott. Crap Prescott? Just right there. Oh, no. Just like A.J. Brown Pants. Oh, no. Robbie Blanderson. And Control. Cinald delete. Did you see You shall not score? Shall not. Pess. Scorderell Rall Patterson. Ooh. And, of course, lamest Winston. I'm sure he's never heard that.

He's hurted so much. You can call me lamest. Oh, my mom calls me. Oh, man. What a weekend. Lots of reactions. And we have the stud muffins that pooped in the big boy pants today. So many things to talk about, including injuries. You know, I couldn't help but think of the injury to Carson Wentz when Michael Pittman. Yes. Had a nice week. Join thefoot.com.

News and notes from around the league presented by sleeper.

Although most of the news is just bad. It's all just like. Usually on Monday it is. Yeah. Do you want to spin it all positive for us? Let's do that. Let's do that. Okay, Dalvin Cook limped off the field in the fourth quarter but managed to return for the final drive. That's no problem. He limps off all the time. He's always back. He's ready. He also did this multiple times in the game. Regular Paul Pierce. Yes. Shady McCoy. Darrell Henderson exited with a rib injury.

As Sony Michelle was, I don't know how long I can keep this up, guys. Sony Michelle looked good in replacement, and it will. Henderson should play. He's got a rib injury, maybe a flack jacket, maybe a week off. Yeah, yeah, that'll be interesting. I wonder if there's a week off if Sony, you know, makes a case. He could. Henderson looked pretty good to me. Oh, he did look great. Would you like some?

Pull your hair out news. Deonté Johnson suffered a knee injury on the last play of the game. There is concern here from Matthew Betts or injury expert. MRI will tell the story. It was knee. It was a knee injury. I know that. I saw a good Monday Punday with Deont takes all the targets Johnson. Oh. He does. That was his ninth catch of the day that he got hurt on. Right. So if this is a multi-week absence, would you be?

maybe kicking the tires on an early before, maybe before the news is confirmed. James Washington? No, on a juju or a Chase Claypool. Trade-wise? Yeah. I'm not concerned about it long-term injury right now, but you can kick them. I mean, you're going to get Claypool at a discount. Here's a tire. Let's kick it. The offense doesn't look good. Yeah, the problem is big bad. Yes, it does. The 49ers are like.

Baltimore, hold my beer. It's unbelievable. Trey Sermon played one snap and got a concussion. Eli Missal. Right shoulder injury. However, this one is not that concerning. He's going to have an MRI. Kyle Shanahan said he's not that concerned because he came back in the game. Are you concerned that he was bad?

I'm not concerned that he was bad. I mean, I have him in a lot of places. 17 carries 42 yards. That's two and a half yards per carry. The entire team ran for 3.1 to carry. It was an awful day for the offense. It was a really bad day. And he had a touchdown call back. That's what I was going to bring up. He was.

He was in for the end zone, and it seemed like he had a fine fantasy day, and that was taken away. And I mean, it's so funny how a touchdown can make all the difference. The exact same yards, the exact same rushing attempts, receptions. You give him that touchdown, and you were happy. And he left the field for a few drives. So when you look at eight fantasy points, whatever it is, and a half point, you miss a touchdown, you miss multiple drives. Come back in. Michael Hastie. I mean, we couldn't, we couldn't swivel our head around fast enough to.

to decide who the next man up would be at any given moment. It was like, I added Jamichael Hasty to our league of record, my league of record team before the game. And all of a sudden it's like, oh, he's the guy now. Oh, he's hurt. Yes. And so you had Trenton Cannon played. He did. And he had just been picked up from the other running back devoid team, the Ravens. He started the day with more career yards than he finished with, though. Oh, good. Good.

But ankle injury, awaiting details on Hasty. The whole backfield, you've got to keep an eye on. Carry on Johnson. Please put Jeff Wilson, Jr. on your IR. If you have a spot, put him there and just hold him. I like it. He has the most, I would say, built up trust with Kyle Shanahan of any of these backs. Sermon, Mitchell, hasty, it'll be Wilson if he's got the, if he's healthy. Yeah, like, if Mitchell.

Let's see if you agree with me. If Mitchell is healthy when my name is Jeff comes back, whose job do you think it is? On a weekly basis, I'd rather start Jeff probably. Yeah, I think I would rather start him, but I would anticipate that it's a two-back rotation. Amari Cooper left the field. Final drive, managed to make a return, hitting the ribs. Jarvis Landry, knee MCL sprained in the first quarter. Yeah, right at the very beginning of the game. Unfortunate. Yeah.

That sucks. I mean, nothing you can do about it. Probably one that misses a couple of weeks. Yeah. It could be more. Yeah, it makes Odell Beckham getting back on the field more important for the Browns. Wow. I've almost discounted using him in fantasy football this year. That's... O'Dell? Yeah, like I just happened to have him in a couple leagues. I got him in a trade. And I've just kind of conceded he's not going to be viable or relevant for fantasy. But...

Donovan Pupu Jones and Anthony Schwartz is as big as mine. They put up like a combined one fantasy point. The offense had Baker get hurt. I don't know. Odell could have some relevance if Jarvis misses time. We had quarterbacks going down all over the field. Literally, I mean, Tua, rib injury, x-rays are negative for a fracture. There'll be an MRI. Bruce ribs is the diagnosis right now. Jalen Wada was having a game. And then...

Tua left and it was over. He never picked up another yard. Yeah, I mean, it was really, really bad when Jacobi Berset got in. The final score of that game was like 34 to nothing or something. So they obviously needed Tua. I would be hesitant to expect to it a comeback. Like, he might play this next week. If he does, I cannot imagine that he will just be the same. And maybe this is projecting of my own injury from a lake incident.
