Week 5 Studs & Duds + Grizzly Facts - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/9

will Ronnie Rivers eat into his workload a little bit more? But it was all Kyron. He just, who knows? Maybe he has a problem now that Cooper Cup. Like maybe Cooper Cup took away just from him, but not from Puka. Well, well, you know, I think the issue here is we talked about with Stafford. Stafford's been awesome. He's been great. It's just the touchdowns have come in on the ground. And so you look at like, okay, last week against Indy. Two touchdowns for Kyron. He was running at 4.1 yards of carry, but he got two touchdowns. Had a great fantasy game. Right. This last week, 4.1 yards of carry. Still the majority of the snaps. All the usage metrics were the same. He just, he didn't get in the end zone. It wasn't the right matchup for that. So I'm not, I'm not worried about him at all. And he gets Arizona this coming week. Matt Burrito Farts, nine for 21. I think it's, we'll see if Barclay's back, but.

Based off of some timelines, it seems like it. So thank you for your service map, Rita. Naji Harris, 14 for 37. I mean, he could just. Yeah. He just is a lumbering pile of logs. I mean, the lumber and the logs. Oh, okay. I see. I see how you got there. There is. There is good news with Najee. Please, please share it with me. If you're wanting the bright side, they are on by. Nice. So you, he can't, he can't hurt, he cannot hurt your roster this week. Like, I, I have been benching Najee Harris in a Dynasty League. I know, right? Yeah, I mean, a Dynasty League, which ladies and gentlemen, if you have two startable running backs in a Dynasty League, you're, you're like, heck yeah, I do. I've been.

Benching not. I've been benching him in like two and three flex leagues because, I mean, he is. Oh, man. He has one game right now. He burned too bright. Over six and a half fantasy points on the season. He burns too bright. He's been getting the usage enough, you know, 20 opportunities, 16 opportunities, 20 opportunities. He's just, he's not good. And Jalen Warren, three of the last four weeks has been a top 24 running back. at the position. He gets just a few fewer opportunities per week, but he does so much more with it. I think we're there. I think we are, I think we've talked about, are you starting Warren over Noggi, but I think like it's, it's done. You have to start Warren. If you're choosing between the two, Devontas Smith. Oh, man, I traded for him this week. Thankfully, the rest of my lineup came through. I was all right, but, oh, that felt bad. One for six.

unfortunate because it felt like this would be a great matchup for him, but A.J. Brown and Dallas Goddard. I mean, the whole first drive is Dallas Goddard. I think by the end of the first drive, which entered into touchdown, Dallas Goddard had more draft Kings points than Mark Andrews. He had, he had two or three more on that first drive. And Mark Andrews had a fine day. C.D. Lamb, four for 49. The Cowboys passing offense, like Mike McCarthy was. riding high off of his defensive performances. It was, I think, masking the fact that he's the offensive play caller. He, I mean, he shipped his OC out of town, and he said, I'm going to be the one handling everything. And that handling of everything is an average depth of target for DAC that before this past week, at least, I don't know what the updated numbers are. Before this past weekend, his ADOT was third worst, third lowest in the NFL. That is just,

destructive to fantasy output. And C.D. Lamb has managed to give us a couple good games here and there, but he, right now, Lamb is having to overcome the offensive play calling and the position that he has been put in. It is pretty disheartening right now. Garrett Wilson, the titanium underpants for the Jets passing attack. It was not enough. Breece Hall stole it all. He did. And, and Zach Wilson just, I thought he'd be able to do more against the Broncos. And he, He could not. It was funny. It was an evenly matched passing attack. Our draft king's lineups from our Friday show. We talked about how similar they were. We had so much overlap. Yep. And yet where we differed was, I mean, I thought it was like, well, either one of us, like, we're just playing against Andy. Because you had Garrett Wilson. I had Brice Hall. It was how do they score? And it went, it went. It went. It went. It went. It went.

Absolutely. Brandon Ayuk ended up with a not great game because of George Kittle. So look, Christian McCaffrey managers and Brandon Ayuk managers, we are, our Venn diagram is overlapping right now. Michael Pittman, five for 52. It's an okay game. He should see better days if Gardner Minshu is forced into the lineup. And it seems like Gardner will be playing for probably the next month. So Pittman is. Far more targets. Yeah. Nico Collins. Boyd, Cortland Sutton, not great games. Hunter Henry, after the huge first few weeks. Whoops, the doozles. Tyler Higby got all that cash. Did not turn into fantasy production. Two for 20. T.J. Hawkinson, five for 50. That's fine. He's all right. Five for 51. But my guy, Schmevin, shmangram, he finally had a down game. Eight targets. That's good. I'll take that, but four for 28.

is that's not going to get it. Yeah. Oh, we made it through. We got it. We got one more game tonight. I hope you get what you need on tomorrow's show. It's going to be waivers. A lot of injuries, a lot of buy weeks. So there will be players that we got to talk through. A lot of interesting names this week. Are we putting Kyle Pitts back on the bench? We'll find out tomorrow. You'll have to find out again. Drop us a review wherever you are listening to the show and follow us on those socials. That is going to do it.

Ladies and gentlemen, for Jay Gris, Jason Moore, the nastiest of the nasty, the deucers. I am Mike the Fantasy Him and Right. Enjoy the game tonight. We will see you tomorrow. Goodbye.
