Starts of the Week + Week 6 Breakdown, Iffy Starts - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/12

No player has scored more rushing touchdowns in the league than Rahim Moster, seven of them. Panthers are giving up 141 rushing hours per game. They rank 29th in the PFF rush defense grades, and that means that Moster can blow up in the first half, and his running mate can blow up in the second half of this game. And that could be Sullivan Ahmed. That could be Jeff Wilson. Jeff Wilson. So pay attention. I am starting. The only situation I'm avoiding is if both of those guys are active and we legitimately don't know who it's going to be. All right, my wide receiver start. It is Chris Godwin. Yeah, this is an interesting one. Against the Detroit Lions. Like, we saw it when Mike Evans went down just before the by week. Godwin went eight for 11. 14 on 11 targets. It's nice to see. 25% target share on the year. And yes, the Lions, it is a scary defense. And so you go, I don't want to play my guys against the Detroit Lions. But it's really.

But you can't run on them. You are forced to throw against them, which has turned the Lions ranked 27th, 27th in schedule adjusted fantasy points to wide receivers because teams have to throw. They're averaging 39 pass attempts per game against the Detroit Lions. And Baker has shown that he's capable with a limited or maybe out Mike Evans. The ball will have to go to Chris Godwin. My wide receiver is Calvin Ridley against the Colts. We saw him in week one where he was the wide receiver six. It's been a bumpy ride since then. One of the more interesting stats here, Ridley in the top 10 when it comes to percentage of catches over 20 yards. The Colts are the second worst in the league when it comes to giving those 20-plus yard plays up. I think it's going to be a home run kind of week for Calvin Ridley. And I have. Oh, oh, hit that button. Hit that button. Oh, so nasty. Is Zach Ertz. It is Geroos. Thank you. But.

He keeps getting targeted. He's tied for the fourth most targets at the tight end position. He's one of six tight ends with eight plus fantasy points in at least three of five weeks. I love it. The Rams are 30. I hate it. And I love it. Yes. The Rams are 30. The matchup says we go with tight ends against the Rams. And Zach Ertz is getting targets. It leads to fantasy success for us. It does not lead to. to offensive success. Yeah, I'm back in wanting that number one pick. How are the Cardinals not figuring this out? Like, unless they're, are they serious about tanking? If I were trying to tank, I'd be throwing the ball to Zacherts too. That whole game's going to be interesting because Hollywood right now, he's sick. Hopefully he'll be playing. Yeah, probably. But one thing we didn't, did you guys talk about the backfield with DeMarcato and Ingram and Rondell Moore?

Like Rondell Morgan is getting five carries a game right now. Logan Thomas is my start of the week at tight end, taking on Atlanta. He was on The Hungry for More yesterday. He's averaging over six targets a game. You know, this is an opportunity for Thomas. You can chase those targets. And those are the starts of the week.

See, the drama is lost without the unrolling. Well, but it... You don't unroll a digital scroll, Mike.

I want you to pull out the real. I would, but it vaporized, Mission Impossible style. Okay, we're moving on. Jason Moore's Ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom boom kicker of the week. This is where I clear my throat. Lights, please, thank you. This week on Boom Boom Kicker, Jason is in Disneyland, but a new hero emerges. Okay. Jason's absence left in opportunity. So I started a mutiny, summoning a kicking force led by me. Dashing and handsome, I paid out a king's ransom, unleashing the cowboys, Brandon Aubrey. That's fun. Yeah, you enjoyed it? That's fun. Yeah. I need my own boom boom segment. You think Jason goes to some of those like the poetry slams? Oh, and gets on the, gets on the board and just starts reading boom booms.

Everyone out there's going, what the heck is this guy talking about? Oh, they'd be into it. They'd be like, what, this is so meta? Who is Matt Gay? Who is Brandon Aubrey? Who is Brandon Aubrey? All right. I don't know. There you go. No one knows. All right. Tomorrow, everybody out there, do not miss it. Mike makes his first appearance. Oh, yeah. On the Fantasy Face Off's Wheel of Shame, I will reveal the million dollar lineup during that segment tomorrow. and we'll get into the rest of the matchups. Catch you up on some of that news, that injury news, see if Deshawn Watson's playing, see if some of these other questionable fellas. It's incredible. The Watson situation? Yeah, it's made for TV. Maybe it's nothing, though. Maybe it's just with the drama. We just want drama in that situation. Yeah? I don't know, man.

All right. No one knows what's going on. That is going to do it. When we come back tomorrow, we can reflect on the fact Pacheco and Kelsey decimated Mike on Thursday night football. More than likely. Goodbye. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast. Join our fantasy football community on join thefoot.com. And follow us on Twitter at the FF ballers.
