Week 3 Matchups + Packers in Peril, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/25

I would put Terrence Ferguson in over someone like you want. Terrence Ferguson must be rostered in every league. To me, if you, you look at like, okay, Sam Leporta, amazing, great, better offense. I feel like there's more target opportunities here for Ferguson or Tyler Warren against Houston. Ferguson, to me, is like, now that we know Puka's not playing. And unfortunately, I think when Puka comes back, this isn't a rest of season.

Just Terrence Ferguson is going to be awesome. He might be the receiver three for this team, but the receiver three is usually irrelevant for this team.

The first two are pretty doggone good, though. So while either's out... And to clarify, Puka's not been ruled out. Yeah. Oh, I thought you said... No, no, no. He's not expected. I thought you said he was definitely not. That's what I was saying. We need the official words. We don't believe he will. I just want to be a little... I want to be a nasty question for you, Jason. Ferguson, by the way, if that's your matchup this week, I just want to see it on socials. I'd go Ferguson. Terrence Ferguson or the doctor. Dalton Schultz. Yeah, I...

Make me an appointment. If Puka is out, then I think I would go, Terrence Ferguson. Just chase the upside. Yeah, the youth, the athleticism, and I think both are going to get a ton of targets. I think the Broncos defense is what talks me into the other side of that one. Okay. I mean, last year. If there's appointments available. I know a lot of people have been seeing the doctor lately. Yeah. But how about the other side? How about the other side? The Broncos. I mean, Waddle is in.

Man, we're starting less Broncos than we were before, aren't we? I mean, Bo Nix is no longer in the conversation. No, I think that's it. I'm not. The Waddle, check out. The running back room is a disaster of who's actually active. And Tyler Badee will get work with whatever other dude gets activated. Right now, Dobbins is a full practice, Harvey's a full practice, and Jonah Coleman's a DMP. And you're playing the Rams. I'm not, I think it's a trap to play a.

Broncos running back right now. Yeah, I can't disagree. The Eagles are 2 and O taking on the Chicago Bears who are one and one. Oh, man. Who have the third lowest, fourth lowest implied point total of 18.5 this week. Wait, they were going to break the scoring record. Oh, gosh. Philly minus four and a half over under 41.5. I mean, this is just a...

pretty simple. This is a bummer. This is a bummer situation where you literally look at this game and you don't have to say anything fantastic about the Eagles offense to know they're going to win the game. Because I don't think Chicago can put up enough points. Now, maybe Ben Johnson is a miracle worker and a Bay. Maybe. And Keenham can find, I mean, they have weapons. I don't want to give them no chance, but it's four and a half road favorites. That's heavy. And, you know, I don't think Monong guy is going to play in this game. He's been a DMP two straight days. We'll see.

We have a DMP for Tyson Bajent, who is the better of the backups. He's actually shown the ability to, like, he'll take a shot down field. He'll take a shot to the, you know, to the outside. I don't know if Keenom still has it. It's just a bummer. No Caleb Williams in this game. Adun's a burden, Loveland. I don't think you want to go there against the Eagles. Not really. And it just sucks. It's like the air has come out of the sales here for Chicago. And you just have to be patient, like,

To me, Loveland's going to be okay this year. I believe that. He's not my guy. I believe that as somebody who believes in the talent of Colston Loveland, the run that he had at the end of last year, and the fact that this is not an incompetent franchise that will avoid getting the ball to one of the best players at the position. But I don't think it happens this week, and it might not happen for a few weeks. Yeah, I love Case Keenum, the dude. His last start was negative fantasy points, and that was in 2023. He's 38 years old.

I thought he was only doing the State Farm commercials. Yeah, I mean, yeah, putting it in the backup. He wasn't supposed to be the backup. He was the backup to the backup. He's like, ah, shoot. He talked up, Ben Johnson amazingly talked about how he's the greatest. He's worked with so many great head coaches, and this is the best offense of mine he's ever seen. I'm sure they can scheme up some stuff. But Case Keenham, this version of him, I agree, is just not going to be able to get it done. I know that the Eagles have looked.

Not great, almost lost, and probably should have lost the Tennessee Titans last week. But Case Keenem at quarterback is going to be a, I mean, it's just almost impossible. And Swift seems like, okay, he might be alone. You know, they're going to need him. A young guy might not be active. And you're probably still starting him. But this is, I mean, you're still starting him. You're going to have tough sledding. The defense with Carter there, they're going to plug the line. They're going to play a ton of guys in the box. I don't expect easy.

gains for Swift. No, it just lines up as a tough game for that offense altogether. On the other side, you have injuries all over the place. We lost Alice Goddard, so he's not a part of the offense. Eli Stowers is on IR and not going to be a part of this team, it seems like. So right now, no tight end option. Saquan Barclay was the only running back. They injured Saquan Barclay. To practice, Shipley and Tank, both out.

on Thursday. He was limited. The big waiver pickups. The old rope of dope. It's like Donald Coleman. The guy that comes in with the opportunity gets hurt immediately. The starter is back. And then did not practice Thursday, Devante Smith, the hamstring, which by the way, the hamstring is what bothered him preseason. I will say, oh, I didn't see that. He didn't practice Thursday. I will say it's Thursday, but this is the Monday night game. Okay. So that's like missing a Wednesday practice. So pay close attention. But yes, you need to be aware. What do you guys think of?

So with, you know, the tight end situation and it being the ever surviving Zach Earts and just keeps getting jobs, do you want to stash Mackay Lemon more? Yeah, for sure. I think McKay Lemon is a great stash right now. I went back in... You watched the tape. I watched the tape. That convinced me. I watched the tape this last week. And obviously, bad game. He didn't do anything. He caught one pass, I believe. Better than week one. Yes, better than week one.

He was used everywhere. He lined up in the backfield. He lined up at the slot. He lined up outside. He was, you know, running routes in all three levels. He was, you know, leaking out for a screen. He was working the middle of the field. He was going deep. He was on the field and running routes. And he looked good. He was getting open. It just, it didn't work. It didn't happen last. I'm seeing, let me double check them on the, oh, that was the fourth quarter. So Lemon ran.

80% of the routes oh he was he is that's full time totally out there more routes than don tontavian way he's a good player and so to me that they need him a lot right now and i i believe he will be super involved he's a he's a good quality first round rookie wide receiver who's out there getting opportunities it just hasn't happened yet i also feel like valet has gotten a lot of attention as a viable too well

The season's almost the exact same for Dantavian. Oh, Wix, absolutely. They are averaging the same points per game, targets, target share. Both guys have been good. You need to think of Wix as a startable player. Absolutely. Wix or Downs as the final question? I'll play. I'll go Wix. I'll play Josh Downs. All right. Let's jump in to the face-off. Fantasy face-off, presented by prize picks. I think Jason's made it known, but he is sitting here with the Wheel of Shame once again. Maybe.

because of the guy that didn't perform last night. Hey, I can't lose again with Jordan Love this week, baby. Because he already played. So, unfortunately for you, Jay, you got to spin it again. Wheel of Shame. All righty. Let's.

Spin that wheel. Yes, yes, yes. You lucky, lucky man. All right, what do we got? We got toe jam, clown nose, egghead. Polly. Polly. Oh, Polly. Oh, Polly wants. Oh, no. Mike, do you want to? Oh, and crackers? Mike, do you want to feed the parrot? Hand me some crackers. Here, let's bust open these saltines here. So that you're equipped. Yeah, I'll take some.

I'm probably just going to throw them at him. I don't mean an offense to this, Jason. How big is your mouth hole? Not big enough for a cracker. We're just going to throw it. Oh, my Lord. This is, guys, this is a real problem. I missed. Here you go, buddy. Here, have a cracker. I want some crackers.

Do you need to, does someone need to read your line for you? 100% they have to read my line. I am about 30 seconds from death. You got some air holes. You're fine. Here, have a cracker. I can breathe. I just can't see. Yeah, just have a cracker. Is this my nose? Am I eating through my nostril? You are eating through the side mouth. Yeah, the classic parrot side mouth. Oh, he's eating the crab. All right. Start us off here. All right. I'm going, my green goblin is quarterback, Bryce Young. I'm taking.

159.5 passing yards. I'm taking the more. All right. Doing looking good, Jay. I am, guys, let's have some fun. James Winston, 17 and a half passing completions. And I will take the more. Okay. Winston completions? Yeah. I wonder what Jason's doing.

Jay, do you have any idea what you're doing or do we have to figure this out? I have a couple different ideas. I made several lineups. Well, you've got to go with the one you told them. Why don't we throw it up on the board? Yeah, we'll read it on the board. We'll read it for it. Jason has Daniel Jones less than 219.5 passing yards. Oh, you hate her. But that makes sense. This board is saving him today. The Texans defense, as well as the fact that he hasn't thrown for that so far this season, you know, it's quiet parrot.

All right, we are at Running Back. I am going to go with Blake Corum. I'm taking, you're taking my start. 46.5 rushing yards. I'm taking the more. I actually had this one selected early in the week and it didn't move. So Blake Corum more than 46 and a half rushing yards. I like it. What are you doing with your hands? I'm wiping crumbs and crackers off. That's what you're doing. Ken Bone Walker. Kenneth Walker.

All right. What do you got? 86 and a half rushing yards. No problem. No problem for Kenneth Walker. All right. Jason, let's reveal. I've got Cam Scataboo. Why don't you say what my line is? It is 57 and a half yards are projected for Camp Scataboo. You did good on that one. You're going more, huh? You did a good. You feel like. You did good on that one. You have a cracker. This is nonsense. Oh, I love it. I will say it looks like that game is going to be very rainy now.

So that sucks. Oh, I mean, wait, what? Why would it, why would it suck for running the football? Yeah, that sucks for James Winston. Yeah, that sucks for James. It's great for running. All right, guys, I'm not all, I'm not going to be kind with everybody. You're not going to like this one, but it's been working so far. Jamar Chase, 77 and a half receiving yards. I'm taking the less against Pittsburgh. I'm taking the less. Last week, I managed to get it with Tray McBride on his less. So I'm going, Jamar Chase. I don't blame you.

He has a cracker that's perched in the mouth. So you're telling me the Tennessee Giants game is going to be rainy, huh? Yeah, that's a bummer for James. And because then the Jalen Coker news was also a bummer for me because I took the Teterol-McMickland's seven and a half receiving targets. I went more. Okay. Because I thought I was going to be sneaky and get a banged up Jalen Coker.

Not so sneaky. Why don't we reveal Jason's wide receiver? Jason's wide receiver is. This is my green goblin. Oh, I'm in Ross St. Brown, your green goblin. 32 and a half receiving guards? I told you guys before the show. I was like, my green goblin feels like the easiest thing of all time. Yeah, that's fun. Here you go. For you. Have a treat, Polly. All right, let's finish it up here. Maybe not a surprise. I won't be shocked if I'm not alone with it, but I'm going Dalton Schultz.

50.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more with the doctor. We did okay last week, too, by the way. We didn't do too bad. Who got at your tight end? We did. We did all right. My tight end is my green goblin. I will take the muth. Two and a half receptions. We will go more. Okay. I like that. Jason, let's reveal it. I don't like the rest of my. Johnson. Joeon. Oh, Juanston. 35 and a half receiving yards. You will take the more. Yeah, he's averaging 60 right now. I like the game environment.

I like it. Whoa, how do you still have more crackers? I just wanted to go through the whole sleep. How many crackers you get? It's so, it's really fun to throw stuff at your friends. All right.
