Week 6 Studs & Duds + The Impossibles - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/18

More work than Tyson, who was enacted again. It'll be Freeman. T.Y. Hilton went T.Y. Houston again, but then was ruled out and went T.Y. Hilton again with the quad injury. I mean. But it was happening. I know. It was happening again. It's impossible. He's been done for three years, except when he plays Houston.

Yeah, it's crazy. Unbelievable. Did you guys know, with this injury, I am now down 17 people in my Dynasty League next week? I did know. And I would bet $100. That's 17. I'll make a $100 bet that you win next week. Yeah, I mean, it's going to be. You've got the easiest matchup of all. I think the stalwart on my roster right now for next week is FERC. Sure. Ooh, FERC daddy? Firk Daddy. Between buys and IRR. I literally told Mike halfway through the game, I go,

I got T.Y. Hilden for next week. Oh, sike. Paris Campbell ruled out with a foot injury. This is. Yeah, this guy, man. Unfortunate. He had a 50-yard touchdown bomb. Yeah. That was fantastic, which is like the complaint about Paris Campbell was he's just going to be a slot guy. Does everything next to the line of scrimmage. Huge play. So this is very disappointing.

Yes, it's unfortunate. And then Terrace Marshall Jr. ruled out. Tyree Kale exited came back. And then we got news yesterday that A.J. Brown was added to the injury report with an illness questionable against the bills tonight. So this is a nightmare. I mean, by the time you're listening to this, if you have waivers that run once a day, any advice we give you now is useless. If you can go pick somebody else up, you can pick up a Josh Reynolds. You can pick up a Cam Batson. You can take a shot at one of these players and pray.

as a pivot but more news later today i'm sure you'll have an idea of whether he's going to play that was today's news and notes brought to you by sleeper we have studs and duds on the show today but if you want breaking news you got to get the sleeper app download it subscribe to the breaking alerts channel and then you'll know about a j brown before everybody else you guys ready to move on let's go this week's fantasy stud muffins

Mike, I want a new segment. I want a new segment for the – it's called Who Didn't Mike start in Dynasty? Yeah. This would be incredibly valuable information for people. Yeah. Please let us know who you sit and who you start because Kurt Cousins, you sat? That is correct. Well, to be fair, I played in the past two weeks when he was against Cleveland, scored 12 points, and then 15, and I said, okay.

It's Daniel Jones. I can't keep doing this. Cadarious Tony's breaking out. Daniel Jones against the Rams. It's not a great matchup. So I played Daniel Jones. And then Kirk Cousins goes off for another 30 burger. Yeah, he's the quarterback 10 on the season, went 3.73 and 3. Unbelievable. And you saw Thielen break back out. Jefferson's great. So those two players with Dalvin Cook back in tow. You know, that's key to the offense. Apparently.

Jack Prescott, huge game, 445 and 3. Kyler, back to Kyler Things. Didn't matter if he's on the road. I mean, the Cardinals have beat the Browns, the Titans, and the Rams handily on the road this year. They've never been a team that travels well, didn't have their head coach, their center, and yet Kyler went out and threw for four touchdown. It was really nice to see that his...

he looked fine throwing the ball because there was worry about the shoulder injury. The only thing to keep an eye on moving forward, and you didn't really learn it in this game because they jumped on the Browns right off the bat. The defense got after him. So he didn't need to run the ball, but he didn't run the ball. And I know that at the end of last year from Weeks 12 on, when he had the left shoulder injury,

That was where fantasy-wise he was hurting was he stopped running the way he had ran the first 11 weeks. Yeah, that's a good point. He didn't need to, like you said, but he also threw the ball away on some plays. I thought he was going to take off on. Matthew Stafford, huge game, four touchdowns. They might have all come in the first half, maybe one in the second half. He's the quarterback seven on the year.

faces Detroit next week, although that should be. Detroit, Houston, and Tennessee? That's the next three weeks. Oh, brother. Let's go Stafford. This is where, you know, you got a lot of heat, Mike, for the redraft with how high you took Darrell Henderson. Because there were so many other players on the board there, and you're like, I think he's going to be a key. After this week, and then these three next matchups, people might be catching up to that tape. It's too late for you.

You can let him on board. Oh, no, but I'm saying if you get them right now. Now if you have Henderson, it's done. Hopefully you traded high for him a week or two back. Against Detroit, Stafford's going to, I mean, he's going to want to pour on touchdowns. All right. Mike started the week. Joe Burrow had a nice week as well. You got three great wide receivers there. Joe Mixson looked good in the screen game. And it was Detroit. So.

That's a preview for every. Detroit has never had a lead this year. Did you know that? What? They're the only team that has had zero. They haven't had a lead at any moment. No, what? They weren't up on Baltimore. It was just, yeah, they've, it was tied. Well, then, then I read a tweet improperly. Yeah, I think you have. Wait, you got bad information on Twitter? I was used to. They lied to you? I thought I read that the Lions had not played with, never took in a snap with the lead. Huh.

So maybe they took the lead on a defensive play and never took an offensive snap. Well, that is how it happened in that Baltimore game. Okay, so then that's the case. They never took a snap with the lead. And they're playing bad. All right. Let's move on running backs. Jonathan Taylor is on fire right now. Yes. Only 14 carries, but 145 and 2 against Houston. I looked over to Mike and go, oh, Jonathan Taylor, he hasn't done much today. And the next handoff, he went up the whole sideline. Yep.

Ends up scoring. We were very clairvoyant yesterday. Oh, dude, I was in that same moment because we were not together yesterday. I was losing in the draft. You're on the side of a highway, right? Watching on your phone? I was losing a draft king's. I literally said, dude, I'm going to need like a hundred yard Jonathan Taylor touchdown to get back in this. And then.

boom, he had like the 80-yard run and then gets a touchdown to play later. Yeah, it was Mike Clay said the lines have yet to play an offensive snap with the league. So if he's wrong, I mean, it's not me. There's no way. Clay's not putting that out there if it's wrong. All right. Leonard Farnett with the big game. We talked about it. Joe Mixing. Nice to see. 18 for 94, but the big one was a big touchdown pass. Start of the week for Jason. Nice. Darrell Henderson. 21 for 78. Start of the week for Andy.

Naji Harris is really good. I mean, it's hard to, well, sort of, right? Like, he's had these games where he's had low yards per carries and it doesn't matter. Like, he's getting the ball 25 times. This was the best argument for Naji Harris was that if he's bad, he's good for fantasy. If he's great, then he's like a top three running back. I think of all the, and you also want a player with low injury risk and he feels that way right now.

Just his build is there's Derek Henry and as you get. He's a sturdy guy, yeah. Like outside, so Derek Henry won, right? I'm sure if you went back and redrafted at the one position. Yeah, I would, uh, well, I was drafting on the, the information from, uh, the coach who should not be named. Yeah. Thank you. Thank you, Mike. Outside of Derek Henry may, I mean, I think I'd rather have Najee Harris.

Oh, honestly. Because of reliability at two. I don't think that there's a huge difference between ceilings between Dalvin Cook and Najee Harris. Yeah, I mean, Najee and Zeke is there for me as well. Sure, sure. But he is in that tier. He's in that absolute tippy, tippy top tier. Yeah, I mean, at least with with Zeke, he still leaves the field. I mean, Mike and I were constantly going, what are you putting Tony Pollard in in the overtime and?

Just wait until next year when his quarterback is Aaron Rogers. The Cowboys? Nodgy. No, okay. Darrell Williams, running back for the Kansas City Chiefs, 21 for 62 and 2. This was the most fantasy points scored. The last time this many points were scored was Damian Williams back two years ago. So this was the biggest week for a running back in Kansas City in a long time. 72% of snaps.

A couple of touchdowns, good runs on the goal line. And Dalvin Cook, 29 for 140, back at it. Khalil Herbert. Let's bring his name up. Oh, man. He looked great. I think that's the important takeaway here is beyond the box score, beyond the good fantasy finish, he really looked good. Every run was like, this is a good looking back. I know he was a sixth rounder. Mike, you liked him in his college tape. Yes. I don't know that we'll be able to.

rely on him because of him basically being the third string guy only in due to the situation in front of him. But I don't know, maybe he earns more. I think he will earn some more time. Unfortunately, he's playing Tampa Bay next week. So this is not where you're, he'll be, if Damien Williams is somehow out again because of COVID, he'll be a play. Herbert. Yes, he'll be a fine volume play. Not, but.

The upside will not be tremendous. Update for you on Cream Hunt, Jason, for the Dynasty League. Expected to miss several weeks with a calf injury. He'll likely have injured reserve, but does not sound like Achilles. All right, baby. So far so good. He'll up, Hunt. I feel like we would have heard Achilles by now. Yeah. Now it's from Rappaport. Yes. Okay. Yes. James Robinson is one of the best actual running backs in football. He's so good. And his dominance just.

makes it so ridiculous that the Jacksonville Jaguar spent a first round draft pick on a running back. This dude is one of the best running backs in the league, and you spent a first on another running back. Yeah, which was stupidity, and I love nothing more on this show to just take shots at Urban Meyer, justifiably so frequently. But I was very concerned after Robinson had the monster game.

The monster game is too. I almost lost my mug. I almost lost it. Did you see it? Yeah, I was looking right at you. Oh, man. I'm sad the camera was not on you because Andy was taking a drink out of a mug and almost just dropped it. The whole mug. I mean, the whole mug. My hand stopped working. But after the game where Carlos was out and it was finally James Robinson time and you could, we all got to see it again. Urban Meyer finally got to.

It's like he didn't watch any tape on James Robinson before taking the job in Jacksonville. But he finally unleashed Rob. I think Hyde had no touches this past week. So I will give the credit to Urban Meyer that it took a long time. But I think we're finally here and safe and secure.

that Robinson will be his guy moving. It's also probably Schottenheimer, but it was a great play call at the end of the game, throwing inside to Chanel, making the timeout, you know, winning the game in regulation instead. Yes, congratulations, Jacksonville. Yeah. Winning streak. Hey. And sorry, Miami, but we, we already put your season to bed a couple weeks ago. Yeah, you just, the vibes. Yeah. Bad vibe. I mean, I don't think Flores survives this year. I think he's done. That sucks, man. 100%. Really? Yeah.

I don't think so at all. I mean, this is, okay, you go from the number one third down defense to the 32nd third down defense in the entire NFL. What's the difference? They lost a cornerback was. Yeah, I mean, this, I'm not talking throwing the season, not just this game. You just lost to Jacksonville. Yeah, Xavier and Howard didn't play this game. I just think Flores is highly respected in that area. I don't agree. I don't agree. We'll see. All right.

Anybody else at the running back position you want to mention? Nice game from Damien Harris. Nice bounceback game. 18 for 101 against Dallas. And Remandre got work and looked pretty, pretty decent. He was getting the receptions. Mm-hmm. Yeah, which even a downfield reception, which was kind of wacky to see. I mean, I'm sure we'll talk about it, but it's like that's very exciting for the future. Like in dynasty, Romandre was kind of a.

Fine, I'll take him in, you know, the back of the second or the third round. But an actual big bodied running back who has proven now already, like early in his career that he has the skill set to be a pass catcher too? Like that's very exciting for the future of fantasy. All right. Before we get into the wide receiver studs, we want to thank IP Vanish for sponsoring today's episode.
