Week 3 Studs & Stinkers + Magically Delicious - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/28

But we haven't been able to see him and Joe Burrow together, and it hasn't worked out fantasy-wise for Joe Mixing yet. 17 for 49 in this game. Pretty disappointing. I need to speak to all the Joe Mixin and Kenyon Drake managers out there. You're panicked. You're worried. They have not been what you want. You drafted a hopeful high-end RB1, but a guaranteed top 15 running back. And right now you've got a running back two at best with those two players. And the reality is,

you still got what you are drafting. There's no way that these two players will finish outside the top 15 this season. There's no way. Right now, the fourth most carries in the league is King and Drake. The fifth most carries in the league is Joe Mixon. The volume is there, and the fantasy points will come. Yes, it's been disappointing. Yes, right now they are definitely a huge disappointment, but I see everybody, everybody on Twitter calling these two players busts.

We're three weeks in. Nobody's a bust yet unless it's a season-ending injury, in which case you forgive a bust. They are very disappointing. I, as, you know, my guy for Kenyon Drake, I'm disgusted. But stick with it. It will work out the carries, the volume is happening. Yeah, I looked that up with Kenyon Drake this morning. 54 carries on the year. Chase Edmins, despite coming in for a lot of snaps, it's got like 12 carries on the year. I mean, this is Drake's. Drake hasn't gotten into the end zone since week one.

And that makes a big difference. So, yeah, just stick with volume plays like this. I mean, I'm not saying that you don't make a pivot if, you know, you've got a good matchup with a James Robinson or someone else that looks really. Jonathan Taylor. Well, sure. I mean, Jonathan Taylor has usurped these two for sure. But you can, you can make a different start over them if you want, but stick with them. Better days are ahead for sure. Kenyon Drake plays Carolina and the Jets.

Better days are coming quickly. Yeah, if you want to go. I thought that Detroit would be a better day too. And now 18 for 73, not the end of the world. He gets in the end zone. It's a good week. You want to trade low for Kenyon Drake. Now is the time to do it. Melvin Gordon had a rough week, gets the Jets next week as a salve. Yeah. David Montgomery, 14 for 45 was basically non-existent due to the game script and Treek Cohn was out there. And then all of a sudden Cohn goes down and Montgomery got targeted a couple times.

Got the rock in this one. He's another one of those. I don't know. It's going to depend on your league, but he's another trade low target for me. Now, some people will see the Tariq Cohen news and say, oh, I'm going to hold on. I'm not going to trade him. Great. But some people don't recognize what that's going to do, and he's going to have a great rest of season without Tariq Cohen. And with the helpful Nick Foles moving the offense, hopefully. Sure. Josh Kelly, are you worried about him after this hugely disappointed?

disappointing performance in the fumble. It certainly was. I need to dive in, try and figure out if we can get some information here from the coaching staff of what happened to his opportunities. But from someone who's watched a lot, played a lot of fantasy football, this really feels like fumble punishment for Joshua Kelly. Leonard Fournett. Oh, dude, no. This is why the policy is absolutely no buccaneers. It went completely back to Ronald Jones.

Do not play Tampa Bay Buccaneers right now. Agreed. Walk the plank. All right, Mike. DJ Moore, four targets, two catches, 65 yards. Unfortunately, this ball is just getting spread around a lot. Yeah, and it didn't get spread around too, DJ Moore. The four targets of this past week, very disappointing. Not even...

I don't know. I don't know what happened why it was four. It was nine targets, 13 targets all the way down to four. Now, he made the most of it. He at least gave you two for 65. So it wasn't a zero like it was looking. But this is not great news. If you have initials in your name, watch out. DJ Moore, T.Y. Hilton, AJ Green. Green six targets. DJ Chark did the right thing to sit this one out. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that AJ Green is not worth the franchise tag right now.

That's fair. That's a fair thing to say. I mean, I think all three of these players need adjustments, a quarter of the way through the fantasy season, essentially. And it's not looking good. I mean, AJ Green, five for 36? Yeah, that's rough. For realizing it now to speak more to DJ more, more to more, Robbie Anderson also had six targets. I mean, this was a interesting.

a complete change of what we've seen in the first two games. Not that I'm happy about it. You certainly can be worried about it. And T.Y. Hilton just hasn't made a big play all year. No, we talked up that 50-yard touchdown pass that was missed, and you know, you'd feel better about those games. But now three games in a row, I blame the quarterback for T.Y. Hilton. I will say this. He was not on the field for the fourth quarter again. I mean, the Jets game was basically.

It was over. Jordan Wilkins. The Jets started the game in the first 90 seconds by spotting the other team seven points. It was a pick six to start the game. Right off the bat, you go, oh, this is a bad T.Y. Hilton game script. If I had to choose who I want rest of season between T.Y. Hilton and AJ Green is T.Y. Hilton to me, I think A.J. Green is what I feared he might be. Philip Rivers, the last two weeks is averaging about 23 passes a game. That's not a.

That is not a game script for any fantasy value for past. Multiple pick sixes hurt Jonathan Taylor from having a better game too. They didn't, they weren't on the field. And then the Jets, how did the Jets respond to the circumstances they were up against? Well, it was second and what, 20 something. And they went with a handoff.

To Frank Gore. They didn't even try. I'm trying not. Wait, isn't this like, what was it, hyper drive? Yeah, yeah, that was the hyper drive, man. It seems like we're being trolled. This is an S&L skit. I mean, I try not to talk about this all the time because Jets fans don't need to hear any more of it. Yeah, they see it every week. But it's, it's literally, they're like 50-50 pass rush ratio with Caleb Belage and Frank Gore. Now, maybe he feels like he can't, you know, Darnard wasn't great. Donald made a few good plays in this game. Donald threw two pick sixes,

made some huge mistakes. It's hard to blame him. It's also hard not to include him in the blame. Sure. But I just don't, what you said is right, they're not trying to win the game. How do you hand the ball off on second and, what was it, third and 20, second and 20 something, yes. When you're down by multiple touchdowns, second and 27 handoff. Deception. They'll never see it coming. Oh, well, I'll tell you what. It just feels made out, man. It just feels made up.

It's unbelievable that Adam Gase has a job. I'm sorry. And he'll get, this is what we said in the studio yesterday, Jason. He will get another. He will be fired and he will get another, not a head coaching job, but he will get another coordinator job. That's good for the show. That is good for the show. Because we can make our jokes and we can look super smart by avoiding every offensive player wherever he goes. It's also great for that fan base that they can go, it's time for me to leave. I need to find a new team.

These people suck. You know, he was, I think he was rumored for Arizona back when we hike Kingsbury. Oh, man. Dodge to be. We wouldn't even be here. Dodge to be a whole. Beckham and Landry, nothing special. Four for 59, four for 36. They ran the ball and they can do it. I mean, they're above 500 now. And Nick Chubb and Cream Hunt looked incredible again. Every time that one of them touches the ball, speaking of those two running backs, I think why?

Isn't the other guy getting the opportunity? He was great. Oh, this guy's awesome. I mean, it's every play. Both, can you imagine how difficult it would be to defend against a fresh, at all times a fresh chub and a fresh hunt? Yeah. Yikes. Yeah, Stefansky is doing exactly what he wants to do in this offense right now. Which is not let Baker throw it. Now, he's not a stinker. He wasn't a stud of the week either. I just want to make sure, Jason, do you know?

Mike Evans stat line. Oh, my gosh, I do. And it is, it should be a stinker and a stud. I don't get it. It should be both at the same time. But you have never, you lit it as a toot, Andy, well done. You have never, and this is a guarantee there has never been a worse multi-touchdown receiving game in the history of the NFL. If you're unfamiliar with his stat line. Mike Evans, Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Two receptions. Number two. Two yards. Two touchdowns. It's unbelievable. It's impossible. Didn't he have a one-yard touchdown in week one? It was a two-yard touchdown. Oh, well, doubling hits. That's how he was able to get the second one today. What do you make of it? Is that like, do you panic or do you just? No, you, you ride that out. The Buccaneers didn't really have to try to win this game. Okay. All right.

Corey Davis, six targets, five for 69, that's fine. Any other real, Brandon Cooks, just five targets, three for 23 in this game with Will Fuller kind of coming back. Nothing much from Slayton and Tate. Very hard to trust anybody on the Giants offense right now. Just looking at the 16-game pace for Mike Evans, he's on pace for 500 receiving yards and 21 touchdowns. So the weirdest.

Usage of all time. It's basically the Jordan Howard of wide receivers right now. Oh, my God. Not a comp you want. No. Darren Waller, four targets, two catches, nine yards. Now, he was, when it comes to Jacobs and Waller, we didn't know if they were going to even play. Right. And Waller ends up playing.

And I'm sure people chased last week's points. You kind of are stuck playing him. If you had Waller, you started him for sure. Yeah. But it was a stinker. For fantasy, it's like really put yourself in the mindset. I don't know what you could have done. You have Darren Waller and you're holding on hope, holding on hope. And then you get to the weekend. Are you really going to the waiver wire and saying, I'm grabbing this guy who isn't rostered at this point? You're playing Darren Waller even though this was.

This was John Snow, the giff of John Snow pulling out the sword while the entire army charges at him. You know, you knew what you were up against here for Waller. Better days are coming for him. Higby, Henry, Fant, Ingram. Any concern across the board there? Not much. I mean, you, like. Edenhurst. Where are you with him?

Because only one catch for one yard, one touchdown. Two out of three weeks have not been great for Hayden Hurst. I'm still okay with Hayden Hurst. Obviously, Matt Ryan did not have a great game with Julio Jones missing. And so, you know, I think the offense as a whole opens up. Hayden Hurst is similar to any back end, tight end one opportunity. Russell Gage is hurt as well. So you check on him because if Russell Gage misses time, that isn't.

an uptick for Hearst. Is this the time, are we moving on from Logan Thomas because of Dwayne Haskins? Seven targets, just four for 31. The targets are there and it tempts you, but. Yeah, I, I don't mind, I don't mind moving on at all, but Dwayne has. His time is running out, just so you know. Rivera is tired of it. Because there's nothing hopeful.

If you're watching the games, and I'm watching Washington with a very critical eye because I want my man Antonio Gibson and Terry McLaurin to get things done. McLaurin is getting it done, but it's not with the help of Dwayne Haskins. He has been incredibly disappointing. Daniel Jones has been incredibly disappointing, but they're just, I haven't seen anything from Haskins this year where you're going, okay, okay, we can coach him up.

Let's eliminate some of these mistakes. It's just... No, he's just looked bad. It's been really rough. Really bad. And, yeah, so the targets aren't coming through for Logan Thomas. The targets didn't come through for Noah Phant, but they were there. If you look... It's hard to have confidence there with now what? Right. Rippin? Yeah.

He's going to be ripping the ball all over the field. It might be Bordels. But I'm still taking the, oh, man, please. Let's go, Blake. I got a snake, man. Yes. I got a snake, man. But take solace in this tight-in. You at home, you're saying, man, my tight-in stunk this week. They all did. They all did. Let me read you the top ten tight-ins. You ready? Yeah. Jimmy Graham. Maybe you started them. Maybe. That was the tight-in one. Tyler Croft.

Nobody started him. Ebron, nobody started him. Tonian, nope. Moe All right. Maybe you chased last week. Jesse James, Foster Moreau, Jacob Hollister, Mercedes Lewis. Like, nobody had a good tight end week. I mean, you had. This is going to be a real layup for Travis Kelsey tonight to take over the number one spot. Well, the number two spot. Jimmy Graham, two touchdowns, 60 yards. He, he two touchdowns and 60 yards.
