Week 6 Studs & Duds + Injuries Galore! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/16

Two for 29? He's hurt. So is his quarterback? Yeah. The one that had like eyes for him. With Brian Hoyer, it should be okay-ish. That's fine for fantasy replacement. The question is, when will Devante Adams be healthy? And if he's going to keep playing through, you won't, it'll just all of a sudden be one week. Oh, Devante Adams has targets and he's good now. And in the meantime, I guess you're starting. You're starting him. and crossing your fingers that this is the week that he's back. I think this is the week he'll be back. Against Chicago? Yeah. We had a team in our league, Al Borland, who is not with us this morning. He's alive. He's alive. I said this morning. Okay. I didn't say he's just not with us. He's no longer with. I didn't say no longer. It did kind of sound like he did. He's alive, but not fantasy speaking because last week.

DJ Moore and Justin Fields provided him with enough fantasy. Oh, yeah, that was cool. Ammo to score 200 fantasy points. 200 points. Oh, because that was against you. Yeah. That's why you said cool when he scored 70 this week. Yeah, cool. DJ Moore 5 for 51 proving that, even in a good matchup, even after a great performance, he can still be undermined by a bad offensive. That whole game. Performance by Justin Field. That was, we got. crushed by the divisional matchup of Minnesota versus Chicago should have been an offensive output. Instead, we got a game 13 to 19, and everyone was struggling. The only reason Jordan Addison is not a, wasn't featured in the bust area is he got a touchdown. But aside from that, Addison did nothing. I mean, obviously with DJ Moore, you lost half the game for Justin Fields. He only played 53% of snaps, which.

was very unfortunate. Yeah, yeah. Devante Smith, we talked about it 5'444. Calvin Ridley, these games have become a pattern. He seems to be featured, have a big performance. It was the number nine wide receiver last week, 7 for 122. But if you look at the three weeks prior to the big breakout and the week after it, you know, 2, 432, 3 for 40, 2 for 38, 4 for 30. Four games out of five where you're not breaking the 40-yard mark. And he gets the Saints this upcoming week. Trevor Lawrence is banged up. I don't know. That's... I mean, where are we with... It's not a great situation. I want to check something really quick with Christian Kirk. And it's Thursday. So Christian Kirk on the season... Christian Kirk is dominating. Christian Kirk is the wide receiver 18 and Calvin Ridley on the season is the wide receiver 20...

24. 4. Currently 24. And that's counting Christian Kirk week one was not part of the offense. Mike Evans, 10 targets, 4 for 49. Yeah. Three drops? Four? I mean, some pretty bad drops in this one. T. Higgins, two for 20. Yep. Figure this was what was going to happen, but T. Higgins is... Did you talk about that on Sunday Live? Yeah. Yeah, I talked about, especially because I have him. So I talked about, oh, this is my situation. I'm going to play T. Higgins because he's... Who's your pivot? I mean, it was either demarcato, which that was just, that was, do I play this guy knowing that he's not going to get the work because everything said that Keante Ingram was it, or it was Wondale Robinson with Tyrod Taylor against the Buffalo Bills, which turns out was the correct decision. Would that win you the week? Yes. Yep. Hollywood Brown, four for 34 on 11 targets, missed a couple touchdowns by a.

Fingertip of the Los Angeles Rams defender. Yeah, and there was also not really worried about him. Not worried about that at all. There was another big play down the sideline where he had his defender smoked. Yeah. And the ball was just thrown a little too far out of bounds. Seattle, Baltimore, Cleveland, next three games for the Cardinals. So they're going to lose three in a row. Gabe Davis, the streak finally ended three for 21. And a fumble. I honestly thought the game, part of the problem with the Bill's offense was the over targeting of Stefan Diggs and not having. Creative play calling to involve Dawson Knox, Gabe Davis, James Cook. James Cook had zero targets. Do you realize this? The guy that's supposed to be. That's ridiculous. You know, you come out and you run these screens and you get them involved in the offense to start the year in the passing game. And now you don't target him? Yep. What's that all about? Yeah, what's that all about? And what's it all about of you are hyper-targeting Stefan Diggs? And then on the final passing touchdown, you go to a guy who's not how to target the whole year. It worked, though, right?

Yeah, it did. That was the most. No, it worked, but that's a, that's full process over results or results over process. I'm sorry. I did. I did get all worked. Yeah. It was like, Mike, it was really good for them. They won the game because of it. They, they did not deserve to, I'm not talking about that play, but okay. Overall, the Giants, the halftime debacle of. When they're at the goal line with no time left, or I mean with plenty of time left, but no time out. And they ran. And they run the ball. And then they're like, they were laying on Sequin Barclay. Of course they are. Because you were idiots and you ran the ball. Papa Josh was, like I said, I was playing some Rocket League with Papa Josh trying to half. Cathartic. Cathartic second half. And I was just having him check the score. And he literally, he'd check his phone and he'd be like, I don't know if it's refreshing. This isn't right, right? Six nothing.

Giants over at Buffalo? It's not right. That's not right. Kiddle died at the, I mean, this is verbatim what Jason said. He has explosive games and then you get this. He went from three touchdowns to one for one. In a game you lose Debo and CMC, inexcusable. Yeah. Dallas Goddard didn't kill you. Five or 42. I would not worry about him. He might have been the fourth best sort of players started. Yeah. Sam Laporta, four for 36 on 11 targets. Yeah. That's a buy opportunity. Sure. Logan Thomas. I heard him called Logan Anonymous. Yeah. That's pretty good. That one was really disappointing. Yes. Logon, Thomas. Yeah. Yeah, because you had, you know, targets the week before, 11 targets, and then you go forward and you get one. And he had been targeted a lot in previous weeks. I mean, eight targets in week one.

Just disappeared. Poof. Colquemette, two for nine, back down to Earth. Zach Ertz, two for 22. I wish the Cardinals would have told me that this was the week that they're going to get the ball to Tray McBride because the matchup was there. Like it was a tight end against the Rams is going to have a good week. It just was not the guy that they've been using. So there you go. Big time waiver show tomorrow. We're going to break it all down. There's a lot to sift through, a lot of depth running back options to be picked up. You've got more buy weeks next week that are going to be more impactful than this past week was. There is so much to talk about. And this is like make or break time of the season where one of our tips on this show before, Mike's brought it up, you're getting to the stage where you're trying to buy some wins. And sometimes that's looking very much at the week directly in front of you.

Above all else to stay in contention for playoff implications in your league. And, you know, Jason did it with David Montgomery. I wouldn't just manufacture that victory. Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm sorry, Jason. That doesn't feel good. Hey, we're in the same division. You want me to lose. Just like I want you to lose. Shame on you, Mike, for not beating any. Yeah, you were upset last night that I had won. Yes. I am always upset when you win in the league of record. I know. You could have spent the rest of your fab on demarcato. Okay, fair.
