Keep/Trade/Cut, Pump the Brakes, Wet Toilet Paper

He is living on the week one hype. He is the opposite of the Buffalo Bills. Sure, but it's saying week three, three receptions, 61 yards, and a score. That's a great week. That's a great week for fantasy. Yes. Your end result is okay. Three receptions. We're a fantasy football show, Jason. Right, but my point is... It's pretty good for fantasy. Kenyon Drake was great for fantasy this last week, but his...

his opportunity, he had to manufacture that off of something. And I'm pumping the brakes because he's not getting enough touches. Kenny Stills, sure, he can get that long bomb touchdown. And that's what you throw him in there for. He's always been much more of a favorite best ball player where I don't have to choose to start him and I'm going to get all of his big games. After week one where he had the monster game was, you know, the target guy. He's really not been there. He wasn't the target guy because five targets.

three, five, six, five. Yeah, I mean, it, very reliable. He's a matchup play, but he's a cut for me. Yeah, I would cut him as well. Ryan Tanna Hill has topped 200 yards passing once since week. In the last four weeks, he's done. Who asked you, Brooks? That's a hot stat, man. I was going to say, I really liked your adding that in here. That is a hot stat. But seriously, who asked you? All right. Making us look bad. We're going to talk about Thursday night.

Thursday night breakdown. Thursday night. Eagles and Giants. Talking to 44.5 point over under. That's middle of the peck. That's basically what the NFL's been averaging so far this season. And the Giants. Is this accurate? Is this as of today, Brooks? Three point dogs? That makes sense. Yes. Well, I mean, the Eagles are two and three. The Giants are one and four.

Both teams are struggling. Just saying a home team to be a three-point dog in a divisional matchup. One? Okay. But three points. Anyways, moving on. Andy's almost upset of the week this week as we go through the shows tomorrow and Friday. Yeah, I will set one for Andy that's going to be really bad. Ooh, I like it. I like it. And then I will give Mike's. Put that evil on him. All right. So the Eagles and Giants, first things first, because it's a short week. I'm the realist. You look at injuries. You say.

Who has been injured that could make it back this week? I usually do not believe that those players that have been held out for those two to four week type injuries. They just don't get to start on Thursday night football. Because the coaching, the staff, the team recognizes that if you don't do it there, you get extra time.

Before the next week. You get the mini buy week, as they call it. Yeah. And so why rush them back for the early game, keep them on schedule. That's why I do not believe that Evan Ingram will be active. I know that there's buzz that he could be and he could. My guess is that he will not be active for this week. And because it's early, you have to have preparation. You have to have another tight end. I mean, obviously you should already have had that because you.

You didn't play him. Now, he's been limited to practice. He had the brace on the knee. The original timetable was two to four weeks. If he plays this week, it's just over two weeks. Right. And that's where I'm saying it's just over the minimum timetable because it's Thursday night. Hold him out one more. That's my guess. On the flip side, Corey Clement, he appears to me to be ready to go. Coach Doug Peterson said he's 100%. He's been practicing in full.

I mean, if your coach says he's ready to go, you're practicing in full, you lose JJ. I think he plays. Right. So let's focus there for a little bit. The game that Jay Jai missed earlier, Corey Clement was the main guy. A little bit ineffective. And Wendell Smallwood, meanwhile, he's had himself a very fine year. These guys are no longer available on the waiver wire. The decisions have already been made. But.

Let's just talk confidence of starting Corey Clement this particular week. And Wendell Smallwood, of course. So are you, the rankings will come out later today. You want to grab the rankings, the Fantasy Footballers.com. And as I mentioned, Flex rankings are one of the cool perks of Jointhefoot.com. So check those out. Corey Clement, you are projecting. Is he going to be in your top 24? Corey Clement will be near that. You know, what's ironic.

Even though I like Corey Clement more than Wendell Smallwood in general. Wendell Smallwood is very interesting to me this week. Yeah, I believe that I would start both of these players. I think Wendell Smallwood has the better week. It's more used in the passing game. I think on the season I'd rather have Corey Clement because Darren Sproles will come back. We'll eat into that pass-catching role.

The Giants giving up. I would start both of these guys. The Giants giving up the eighth most points to fantasy running backs. Corey Clement, you got to imagine he is penciled, not penciled. He is, he is sharpied in to Red Zone roll. I mean he was taking those looks away from Jay Ajai. Yeah, he's the goal line back. And the thing is about being the goal line back for the Eagles, that doesn't mean you get all the touches. The Eagles are creative enough. And I should.

I should just say, just not stupid enough to go down there and do one thing in the red zone. Oh, let's get our jumbo package out here. And put our biggest running back behind them. Get the meat out. And just run it up to me. Get the meat. I mean, it's so stupid. You look at the Rams and you look at the Eagles and you see them down on the goal line. And they got three wide receivers out there saying, you don't know what we're going to do. And then they'll run it up the middle and score because they can't stack the box.

Yeah, but that's not, that's not being a macho man. I think Cory Clement. Ooh. The Foot Clan, the look that I just got to experience in the eyes of Mike Wright when he did the macho man was terrifying and electrifying. I mean, his eyeballs were shaking inside of his skull. Dig it. I'm starting if I've got- Imagine macho man announcing a football game. Oh.

Touchdown. Your macho man's terrible. That was really bad. Corey Clement. Yeah. That's how you do it. Continue. All right. So Corey Clement, Wendell Smallwood, I'm starting both of these guys. And you know what I'm not starting them? I'm not starting them on my flex because you're smart. This is Thursday night football. You're going to put them in as running backs. I believe they do enough that they should be started. And whenever you've got a guy that can do enough that should be started on a Thursday night matchup,

It gives you that advantage because maybe Corey Clement comes out, has two touchdowns, 60 yards on the ground, adds another 30 through the air, and it has a monster week. And now you know, for the rest of your matchup and your lineup, you should play it safe. You're out to a lead. Or he comes out, reaggravates the quad, loses, and you go, okay, I know I need to swing for the fences. I like the...

strategic advantage of knowing a little bit more about your matchup that you get from starting a Thursday night player. So yes, those two are in. Zacherts, he's in. Alshan Jeffrey should get the Janoris Jenkins experience. That's not a good experience. You don't want that. Except Janores Jenkins, he's hasn't really been shutting people down. Say that to Michael Thomas. But I will say this. That was more of a...

scheme thing when you watch that game, they were double teaming Michael Thomas. It wasn't just Genoa's Jenkins. I mean, they, they were, they were, it was really upsetting me. Alice on Jeffrey, 17 targets and two appearances this week. I have no hesitance playing Alish on Jeffrey against Jenkins. Yeah, he is going to be a little bit lower in my rankings, but still in the area where he's just a starter. I mean, you, you start, you start him in hope for that touchdown. Nelson Agalore.

That is exactly correct. I'm not starting Aguilar. He caught all his targets this time. 100%. You know, only had four of them. Four for 45. 11 yards of reception. He hasn't done anything this season that said to me he was a must start. Now with Alshan back, Zacherts being the clear number one target. You're talking about the third target in a game that doesn't appear to be.

this oh i want pieces in it they could rush the touchdowns in so no i'm i'm not digging it now what is the when when you break out and then the following year you're bad what do we call that is that just a is that a breakdown is that a break in not a break in you're still not a break in you're breaking down i don't know a fall from grace uh

We need to work. Brooks make a note. We need to work on it. We need to work on that. Is there anything else from this game? Sequin Barclay. Well, we haven't talked about the Giants at all. Well, we talked about Evan Engram at least. But Sequin Barclay did not need any special treatment this week after taking the awkward fall when he levitated like Superman for about 15 yards scored the touchdown. He's all right. He's good to go. I would definitely start Sterling Shepard over Nelson Agalore.

If Evan Ingram is active, then what is your confidence level in Sterling Shepard? It goes down. It really does. Sterling Shepard is the guy that I think benefits with two or three extra targets a game. And those two or three extra targets can turn into 30, 40 yards. That's several points that you're getting because Evan Ingram is out. Anything else that we need to mention, I mean, Rhett Ellison? If Evan Engram doesn't play, you get in on that? How about Carson wins? Yeah, you play him.

Yeah, I mean, it's funny because if you watch the last game, Carson Wentz was terrible. I mean, for fantasy. Sure. It was like, oh, man, I should not have started Carson Wentz. I think going into the fourth quarter, I feel like he had like eight fantasy points. And then he ended up, I think the quarterback ate on the week. Thanks to the garbage time stuff was at Xerkes. Oh, they got it done. They sure did. But yeah, I do think you continue to start him. Not a week I want to play Eli, though. No. Yeah, there's better streaming options. Let's see.

I think we got a little... Oh, Brooks is shaking his head, yes. A little bit of time. That means we're going to get into the mailbag. Mailbag. Mail bag. Yeah. I almost got you for a full spit tank. You did it right in the middle of my coffee sip. And that coffee almost came out of the mouth. Oh, no. Oh, no. All right. We're in the mailbag answering questions from the Foot Clan. You can email us.

from the website, the fantasy footballers.com, or you can call the hotline like Drake. You can come out on my cell phone. That's two Drake references in two days, Jason. It is, except that was the worst Drake impression I've ever heard. What? I'm going to go to the resident baby on this show. How was it? Yeah, that wasn't very good. No, that's terrible. You can call the voicemail hotline 302-464 TFFB, and we're going to go to a voicemail right now.

As a going ballers, my name is Corey. I'm from Massachusetts, and I'm a commissioner of a 12-man league, and I'm in trading for fab money back and forth. While I have the ability to adjust it in the platform that we use, I'm just curious about the pros and cons of trading fab of what you guys think. So please just let me know, and I'll be looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks.

You're the commissioner. It's more work for you. Pro. It's more fun. It's everything else. No, honestly, we've voted on this in our League of Records for the last seven years. Yeah, I keep bringing it up. And people are voting me down, a bunch of buffoons. And it's funny because... We don't like fun. Here's the truth. Here's the honest truth. So I believe I voted against it. But for only one reason, and you already brought it up. Only one. It's just a lot of work for the commissioner. Boohoo. If our commissioner in that league...

said, I want this. If they voted yes, I vote yes. Because it's just not fair that if the whole league says, I want this and the commissioner really doesn't want to do it, then the league is forcing them to take on a new role because everything... You are the commissioner. You have a job to do, and your job is to serve the league. It's not to serve yourself. Well, switch commissioners. I care for the well-being of my commissioners.

You're talking about yourself right now. No, I'm not the commission in that league. Oh, you're the commission of the Dynasty League. Yeah, there you go. But I love it. Everything else is a pro. You can help balance out trades. You can help incentivize trades. You can incentivize trade. Often it's difficult to get a one for one just or fair value trade for players. Being able to trade your draft picks, being able to trade some fab, you can even things up. You know, throw it.

25 cents on the scale and oh look it's actually balanced now everyone's happy I hope except for the commissioner who is a big baby I hope now that now we're are we really bringing fab bidding down into the sense level I bid one dollar at 25 cents Zach in Ohio wants to know DJ versus mixing so David Johnson straight up for Joe mixing I feel like I can get more in name value and mixing
