Week 9 Matchups + In-or-Out, The Fourthiest!

Good enough times. He is looked at, you know, around the end zone. And while teams are focused on Julian Edelman and now with the snap count of Mohammed, I think Philip Dorset is a guy that I'm not saying you should throw him in. But, you know, I've got him in our lineup right now over Terry McLaurin against you, Mike. And you've already got, what, three games with touchdowns from Philip Dorset. And he's, the Baltimore Ravens are not the same defense of last year.

I do have an update on Marquis, Hollywood Brown. He is not practicing Friday. Correct. So, that's not good. That is not good. And I will say this. I know it seems. Did you already mention that, Mike? I did. I apologize. It seems counterintuitive. I'm going to mention it again. Still not practicing. Breaking news. Still not practicing. He hasn't practiced today. Old news. But Mark Andrews, if you don't have Hollywood.

The Patriots, and there's plenty of fantasy football studies done on them taking away the number one weapon. And Mark Andrews becomes the number one weapon if Marquise Brown is not there. They will scheme Mark Andrews out of this game. And so he is who I'm freaked out about. They've managed to scheme all players out of all games recently. That's the truth. Yes, I have. It's terrifying. Sonny Michelle?

leading the league in 10 zone carries. I'm playing him. You can play him. James White, you can play him. Yep. Outside of that, I think we've exhausted options. Not a lot of utilization from Ben Watson last week. Let's get into Monday night football. The Cowboys at 4 and 3 take on the Giants 2 and 6. Cowboys 7.5 point favorites. The game does have a 48 point over under. One of the higher of the weeks. Usually 48's about middle of the pack, but there's not a lot of high scoring games. This one looks like it could be a higher scoring affair.

No question marks about your running backs. Zeke, Seek, Sequin, you're playing them. Sequin's been more involved in the passing game of late, eight for 79 and a touchdown on 10 targets last week. And just a Superman. Oh, my gosh. Three defenders there. He's like, you get out of the way. You get out of the way. And you, I'm going to smash you to the ground. He tried to open up the gates of hell with that stiff arm. And then, and then he. Did it work?

To that player, yes. A stranger thing situation? Did he get put into the upside down? If you actually watched the play when he pushed that guy into the ground, when the guy got up, there was like a two-foot hole in the ground. It's amazing. Wow. Yeah. Did you see them have to fill the hole? Somebody ran out and filled the dirt in the Cardinal game yesterday. No. They had to play was stopped for like an extra three minutes because there was a huge divot in the ground. Like a golf?

coming into sticks in the hole. And then so they brought in a groundsman and his official technique was put the dirt in there and then punch it a few times. He punched the ground? Yes. That's the official technique. They should have had George. I went to college for this. George Kittle could have punched it. Did you see that the hyper extension and he's punching the ground? Everybody's worried Kittles gone and then he comes out and man's up and dominate. Thank goodness he's back. I mean, that was. Not for the Cardinals. Well, sure. What I have learned.

is no matter what injury I sustain, how minor, how major. I'm going to the ground. I'm beating the ground like my life is about to end. And then if I'm okay, everyone's like, holy, holy crap. You're so strong. The Paul Pierce. That was amazing. Oh, yeah. Carry me off. Shady, Shady had that for a long time. The Dallas side, man, do I love the passing attack? I mean,

How do you not? I mean, you have two of pro football focus's biggest wide receiver cornerback advantages. You know, I talked about my start of the week, Michael Gallup, he's got the fourth best advantage. But he don't have the best advantage on the team. Cooper is above that. I mean, they match up. Cooper is my number one on the week. I don't blame. At the wide receiver position.

He's been phenomenal. Giants allowing the most fourth passing yards, 30th against fantasy wide receivers. Did you say the most fourth passing? Yes, he did. Fourth most. The most fourth. No one has allowed as many fourth performances. You know what that means? That means they give a 14-yard plays. They give up 40-yard plays. The most fourth plays. I love that. The most fourth plays of all time.

They're the fourthiest. May the fourth be with them. All right. So Cooper and Gallup, Jason Gallops your start of the week, 23.7% target sharing his last five games played. Does that mean you like Jason Witten? No. I mean, it's not to say any week can be a Jason Witten touchdown, but I think that the wide receivers are going to have an easier time in this matchup. I don't think Jason Witten is going to. I like Jason Witten in the matchups where he's needed. This one does not appear.

like a necessary game. Golden Tate. Last three games, six plus catches 80 plus yards. Is he in your line? Yes. I think he's lowered expectations, but yes, I'm playing Golden Tate. All right, a couple updates for you. Adrian Peterson, back at practice today. Just learn that. Jalen Samuels said James Connor missed practice today with the shoulder injury. Samuel's got all the first team reps. Did he tell him that too? They're like, hey guys, hey guys, check this out.

The lion wasn't there. The lions are bringing in J. Ajai for a workout. Oh. Yeah, everyone does this. Um, no T. Y. It's just really something to watch. You know how much money J. Ajai has had to spend on flying around the country trying to get a jump? They got to pay for it, right? They fly you out there. Oh, no way. That's not on his own dime. That's on his own dime 100%. Hey, Jay, look, we'll work you out, but you better figure out how to get here.

Oh, come on. Oh, no, I mean, I've seen that with, with, you know, there's no way they don't pay him to come out. Documentaries of players that get a, get a, uh, you know, get a tryout. I want to be honest with you. I don't believe you. Okay. I, look, I'm not saying I cannot possibly believe that the billion dollar industry. Yeah, they're going to say, they're going to call J.I and they're say, hey, we got you a flight. Now, maybe he flies coach. Oh, he's definitely flying coach. Poor guy. Devon. For flying coach. No, not for the coach part for the like. Oh.

How woe is me? I wouldn't be gone dead. With the commoners. For the plebe back there. I was going with the fact he doesn't have a team after all these tryouts. But sure, let's go with code. Peanuts! They don't even do those anymore. I'll take the flay. Devante Adams practiced again on Friday. And then O.J. Howard officially out. Oh, fantastic. Officially out. Let's move on. Ballers on a budget. Presented by Fandul.

I'm going to go Hunter Renfro this week, 5,400 smackers. I want a piece of that high over under, Raider, lion game. Hunter and Renfro with the big play last week, more involved in the offense. I've been waiting for it. I was a little frustrated. I spent about the preceding two weeks without Tyrell Williams, I had Hunter Rinfro higher in my rankings thinking the breakout was coming. Tyrell comes back and he breaks out with him. But Hunter Renfro of 5,400, that's cheap.

And I don't think he's going to be high-owned. So I think he's got an opportunity at that price and with that matchup and with what Derek Carr is doing right now to give you a game. Yeah, for me, I'm looking, you know, we've said this every week. Like when I'm doing these DFS lineups, I want to put my money into the known stars that are two-for-ones at running back, which I think is why all of us have gone with the wide receiver this week. When I'm looking for wide receiver, I want consistency where, hey, they're going to be fine.

and an upside. And that's John Brown. John Brown has been good pretty much every week. And he has the ability to have a monster over-to-the-top bomb from Josh Allen in a plus matchup. He's only $6,200. He's been the 50th. He's five catches per game, not the fourth he is. So, I mean, I think he's just a perfect player for roster construction this week. Mike, I'm going with Marvin Jones. I want.

in on that action. And he is only $5,700 the matchup against Oakland, very plus matchup for wide receivers, the 50 point over under. And the possibility of four touchdowns, it actually exists. You're not getting four, but a multi-touchdown game could certainly happen.

Fanduel.com slash ballers. I want to throw one other one out there for people. I will accept. Because we never really look at defenses, but 4,300 for the Cleveland Browns against, you know. Sure. Brandon Allen. Yeah. I think that's a cheap way to pivot off of New England. You know, the Patriots, even smashing. All right. We want to thank today's studio sponsor, Pristine Auction.
