O and 5 team, who has been terrible both in the pass and the run. So why do it now? Because the bears give up a lot of touchdowns to the wide receivers. And Matthew Stafford was pulled last week. And I think that that is actually, when you look at his stats, you see a lot worse than he's actually played. And so this week, I expect to bounce back for Matthew Stafford.

52:19 ↗

The Bears give up a lot of fantasy points to wide receivers at the position. So I'm going to say go ahead and play Golden Tate, look for a bounceback game. I'm going with Kendall Wright. I'm going with Kendall Wright. I still think he is far and above the best option in Tennessee's passing game. He's also...

52:36 ↗

a talented squeaky wheel, so to speak. He complained about his involvement level. You know, they had a lot of success in games where he's been heavily involved. He's a PPR type of guy. You can't really count on touchdowns from Kindle Wright, but he does have the trust of Marcus Mariotta, and Miami is one of the worst teams against wide receivers in fantasy 25th. Of just of all time, let's say it.

52:59 ↗

Of all time. And they're at home. You know, they're at home. I like Kendall Wright. I'm okay flexing Kendall Wright this week. You know, he's a possible kind of wide receiver two play in the right situation. So at tight end, I've got to bring this one to you guys. I feel like we haven't talked about him enough. Richard Rogers is my start of the week, and I am confident about him. I would start him over Tammy. I would start him over Walker. I would start him over Cameron. I start him over a lot of guys.

53:29 ↗

His involvement is going up. His last two games, he has five catches, six catches, playing on 93% of snaps, eight targets last week, and faces a San Diego defense that is not shutting tight ends down. And so I think he is, you know, he's going to be available. And I don't know what his ownership percentage is right now, but it's got to be minuscule. And so I really like Rogers. I love that pick. I think that's a great matchup play in addition to a trend. He's actually owned in 46%.

53:57 ↗

Well, there you have. I wouldn't have believed that. But still, he's available in half of the leagues. Sorry. So my tight end start of the week is Zach Ertz, a guy we loved in the early offseason who was injured and then not used, and then the Eagles offense stunk. But if you look, last week, he actually got five for 60. He's been on the field. Agalora is kind of hurt right now. And this is the New York Giants who have been giving up a...

54:26 ↗

Everything to the tight in. I feel like it's a good trend with Zach Ertz is super talented. That's never been the question. As a past catcher, he is a very talented past catcher. His health has been the problem, the Eagles have been the problem, and some of the matchups have been the problem. All three of those things are now pointing in the right direction, and I think they're pointing to fantasy gold for Zach Ertz.

54:47 ↗

On the Yellow Brick Road. Ertz was in consideration for me, so I very much enjoy that pick because I love great matchups. Speaking of another great matchup, Jacob Tammy, 8 for 94 last week against Washington. Washington has actually a decent passing defense. Julio's health, maybe Julio's full go, maybe. But if he's even a little bit hobbled, Jacob Tammy is a great play. New Orleans is bottom five against tight end for fantasy points.

55:17 ↗

New Orleans, Oakland, and the Giants are all targets you want for a tight end. And for Jacob Tammy to already have gotten involved last week, speaks well for him being involved this week. Mike's just trying to get his starts of the week out of the way. He just wants these games to be over with, and we'd be able to come in and say, you know. Please be a high scoring game tonight. I'm going to be so disappointed if for some reason the script is flipped and it's like a 13 to 20 game. I'll gouge my eyes out.

55:46 ↗

Yeah, but Rob Ryan won't be dancing around on the sideline, hair flopping all over the place. What's the opposite of a silver fox? A gray goose? A brown bear. I'm just trying to figure out if what is Rob Ryan? He's a silver something. We should probably move on. All right. That's it for today's show.

56:08 ↗

We will have the second half of the games tomorrow. We will have our Daily DDoS segment with Chris Meaney of the Fantasy Sports Network giving you all the DFS insight and information you need to make the right picks this weekend. And we'll have a lot of information on the injury situation. I know Carlos Williams is not practicing. LaShawn McCoy is practicing. So we need some clarity on some of these backfield situations, Justin Forsett, Buck Allen, those type of things. So good stuff going on.

down under. Division rivals, Rams, and 49ers will be facing off in Melbourne for the NFL's first ever regular season game in Australia. And it's all happening live on Netflix. Netflix is expanding its NFL coverage in 2026 from week one to the first ever Thanksgiving Eve matchup and two Christmas Day games.

57:32 ↗

Watch week one of the NFL on Netflix, the Los Angeles Rams versus the San Francisco 49ers, live on Netflix Thursday, September 10th at 8.35 p.m. Eastern, 535 p.m. Pacific. As a fan chosen for the halftime challenge, I love sports. For a chance to win the big prize. But when my half court heaved only goes half the distance. How embarrassing for him! I wonder, is sport clips better than sports?
