53:52 ↗

14 targets over his last two games, eight target six catches last week against San Fran. He got a lot of play in the fourth quarter when Ruben Randall was out and O'Dell Beckham Jr. was out. So Harris is really, really interesting. And I still like Kumar Aiken, even if Steve Smith's senior plays, $6,000 against San Fran, a week secondary, nine targets, four catches, 78 yards. He's got 16 targets over his last two games. So those are a couple of cheap plays. And maybe Stefan Diggs.

54:18 ↗

The cheapest player on Vanduel. Are you kidding me? Are we going to play this guy or what? Are we playing him? Andy is shaking his head yes. Dude, he looked okay, man. Yeah. He did. He did look okay. He made some tough catches. He made some tough catches. Charles Johnson's not around there. Yeah, 10 targets, 6 catches, 87 yards. The matchup is okay. I don't mind it. We've talked about Kansas City struggling against...

54:46 ↗

wide receivers. Up until last week, they had given up at least two touchdowns to a wide receiver in every single game. So it might be a cheap cotterian play at four or five that maybe hopefully we can return some value there. All right. We need the Gary Barnage tight end pick of the week. Who are we going with this week? Is Gary Barnage for real? Gary Barnage looks... Do you guys think that? When you can catch it with any part of your body. Yeah, when you can catch with your barn door.

55:13 ↗

You got, and he's just, he's getting force-fed targets from my man, Josh McCown, who is, he's apparently, he's apparently now my guy. You realize we watched Josh McCown play over here at Sun Devil Stadium back when we were like small children. We were we lads. Yeah. Man, it's hard to believe that McAllen and Bortles were one and two quarterbacks for Ennesty last week. Oh, my goodness. It's crazy to think. So is there, is there a tight end you like? Yeah.

55:42 ↗

You know, Barnage does seem legit, which is crazy to think. But he's not my play this week. I think if I'm going with a cheap play, it's Stefan Diggs. I really do. I think at 4-5 against Kansas City, I think that's a nice play. And maybe an under-the-radar guy, I'm going back to Philly here. It's Josh Huff at 5' against the Giants. You know what? That Eagles offense, I really do think it's starting to come together a little bit with Bradford. A lot of talk this week about, you know,

56:11 ↗

Chip Kelly really liking Josh Huff, how we can make things happen. Now we saw the Saints defenders run into each other, and he was able to get that touchdown last week. But I don't think that, I think there's some injuries with Nelson Agalore. He hasn't really been a factor. Jordan Matthews has lost that trust with Bradford right now. The other way around, Bradford seems to have lost that trust with Jordan Matthews. I saw a lot of tape where Jordan Matthews was wide open on a lot of plays, not even looking his way because a couple of the drops. He's been dropping a lot of balls.

56:37 ↗

So I think Josh Huff could be a sneaky play at 5-3. Again, the over-under is 50 points. I think Philly puts up some points in that game. All right. Thank you, as always. Chris Meany from the Fantasy Sports Network, and we will talk to you next week, my friend. Take it easy. Thanks a lot, guys, for having me. Enjoy the football. We'll chat next week. All right, thanks again to Chris Meaney of the Fantasy Sports Network for joining us today, as he always does on every Friday talking daily.

57:01 ↗

fantasy football. We're going to get into the mailbag, answer some questions from listeners today, including some voicemail questions. Mailbag.

57:12 ↗

All right, if you have a question you want to ask us, something urgent, something going on, trade question, waiver questions starts set. You can go to the website, the Fantasyfootballers.com, click on the submitted question button in the upper right-hand corner. Send us your question. We are here to answer as many as possible, and you can follow us on Twitter at the FFBallers as well. So you can call us. I should mention that. We have a voicemail box if you want to leave us a voicemail question.

57:41 ↗

So we're going to go ahead and open this mailbag up with a very special question from Tony Meatball. Yo, yo, it's Tony Meatball. So, guys, guys, kind of embarrassing to admit this, but my team's one in four. I'm very disappointed, and I made a little poem to express how my season's going thus far. So here it goes.

58:11 ↗

I was endorsing Amir Abdullah like he was the next comment of Barry Sanders, but he's really just playing below standards. I was saying Aguilar was spectacular when he was just really below a paw. And the upside of Witten, oh, how I was smitten. But then Romo got hurt, and my team has been bitten. So I want to know, how do you guys overcome a start that slow. Thanks.

58:41 ↗

Hope you guys keep climbing up the ranks. That's some great stuff right there. Oh, thank you, Tony. The best part for me is the rhyming of Aguilar with spectacular. I thought Aguilar was spectacular. Oh.

58:57 ↗

Well done. Yeah. Well, how do you overcome and start that slow? You mix it up, my friend. One in four teams should mix it up. That's what I say. Go crazy. Make a big trade. If you have to, you know, I very rarely recommend sending off a big name, a Grancowski, a Levion Bell. But if you are one and four, something's gone wrong, my friend. Unless you are literally the first or second in the league and points and just been completely snake bit by bad luck, mix it up.

59:24 ↗

Make a big trade. You're not going to get anything for Abdullah or Aguilar, but go make a big trade. And we wish you the best of luck. We know you'll be, you'll be all right. You'll be all right, Tony. All right. John and Fredericksburg, trying to determine the better long-term flex option, Jordan Matthews, Gio Bernard, or Chris Johnson. Ooh, that's tough because Gio is looking so great. The problem that I have was saying long-term geo.

59:52 ↗

is Jeremy Hill is still talented, is still there. So I'm going Jordan Matthews on this. I'm going to go, Geo. This one is tough for me between Jordan Matthews and Chris Johnson. I completely agree with Jason that I still am holding the hope and the faith. Maybe it's because it's just I'm a Jeremy Hill truther, but during the second half of the year with the run defenses that they will be facing, it looks like, to me, Jeremy Hill can come back. So we're going to answer a different person from each person? No, no, no, no. Maybe.

60:22 ↗

Maybe we will. Yeah, we are. I'm going with Chris Johnson. All right. You are welcome, John. Yeah. Sometimes we're useful. Sometimes we're not. Pick which analysts you like. Go with that. That's right. That's right. Daniel, in Kingswood, Texas, Eddie Lacey or DeMarco, Murray this week. Wins have been withstood, but work on your Chewbacca. Not bad. We'll work on it. No, no, no. Hold on. Hold on.

60:52 ↗

The people need to hear the pee-wee Herman, Jason. Oh, no. Oh, no. Oh, this came from, my wife always made fun of me because I just, I can do it. I can't do a bunch of different things, but I can't do it. You, you ready for this? Yes. This is so embarrassing. I wish I had like a drum roll. Ha-ha. I can't, I just, I, it doesn't work. It doesn't happen. Ha-ha. I want to get the, like, I can do the. I can do the. Ha-ha. I can't.

61:22 ↗

I can't do it. Oh, man. I don't think I can finish the show. All right. Is that Chewbacca Herman? Is that what we got? Oh, shut it down. Chewy Herman? My wife does a great. I appreciate you making the effort. Yeah. What was the question? Oh, gosh. Eddie Lacey or DeMarco Murray this week. Give me to Marco. I'm going to take Lacey. I'm going Lacey as well. You guys want to water about that one? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

61:52 ↗

Waterbed. Two on one. You guys want Eddie Lacey this week against San Diego. I will take DeMarco Murray against the Giants on Monday night. That's perfectly fine. And the wetness shall be had. All right. Chad in Madero, California. I have Devante Freeman RB1, but this week, sick. Wait. I have him torn on my RB2. Chris Ivory, Aryan Foster, Dionne Lewis, who is an RB2. Aryan. Give me Aryan Foster.

62:20 ↗

He's playing Jacksonville. He got a big workhold last week. All the reports say he practiced in full. 100% Aryan Foster here. I love that you are sitting Chris Ivory and Dionne Lewis. I mean, I hate that, but that's incredible. You can probably trade one for a wide receiver. I was just going to say probably don't trade one of those. I like the depth right now. Yeah, but having four guys, you wouldn't trade one?

62:47 ↗

I guess it depends on what your wide receivers look like. Okay, and we talked about this. We had our first ever exclusive Google Hangout, which you can check out at Jointhefoot.com yesterday, but I was talking about whenever I trade a running back. No, I like that. No matter what, I understand it's going to be a lower caliber running back, but I want at least one back. I want a guy who, I want my wide receiver upgrade, but I also want a stash guy, like a David Johnson.

63:16 ↗

Or just a backup, not necessarily just a straight backup, like a Stark. But somebody else you get back that gives you running back depth so you don't have to go find it on the waiverware. Exactly. Because it's not a lot of it. Because whatever you get back in a trade is going to be better than the running backs on the wire. Yeah. Bobby you in New Jersey. Who do I start my flex? Alan Robinson, John Brown, or Jarvis Landry? I like Alan Robinson this week. He's a guy to me that if you want to get the value out of Alan Robinson, you just start them every week and you get those big booms.

63:44 ↗

I like him this week. He's also making a suggestion that a three-way water bet should be called a Bermuda Triangle. I like it. I kind of like that. I like it. You got the water involved. Very nice. You know. Death. Endial. Death involved. A little mystery. Yeah, if we add the waterboarding back. Coulter in Minnesota. Would you trade Ligarra Blunt for Lamar Miller?

64:10 ↗

Jason, would you do that? I would. I would absolutely grab Lamar Miller at his low point. And it is now. Mike, I would do that myself, by the way. Yeah, that's my vote. The only thing I'm torn on is I feel just so strongly about Blunt having a huge game this weekend that his value will be elevated. But I don't mind doing the burden hand right now getting Lamar Miller, who I think will be better in long term.

64:37 ↗

All right, that does it for the mailbag section. Hope you had a good week of fantasy football preparation and have some good games on Sunday. We are always happy to be here helping the Foot Clan along and, you know, we'll be. Someone's getting a phone call. All right, we'll be back next week. You guys got any other thoughts? Yeah, last night, I had to watch Mark Ingram.

65:02 ↗

do very terrible yet score two touchdowns against me. That was very frustrating. Hey, who has Mark Ingram? Woohoo! So to cheer myself up, I watched some Seinfeld and it was the death blow episode with Elaine dancing and my spirits were lifted. Believe it or not, I saw that on my DVR last night. Because I watched some Seinfeld last night too. Cry. Cry again. I saw the Bizarro Jerry episode the other day and I just really enjoyed it. Feldman? What are you going to do?

65:31 ↗
