Week 3 Matchups + In-or-Out, Tinkerbell Rule

Brooks has more guts than I do, or probably it's a reality. He lost some joke who didn't have any other options. In that situation, I think you could stream him. I'm guessing you had the choice of Vernon Davis and Eric Ebron and Jimmy Graham in that category. He might have. He might. All right. The Rams, Browns. Rams are 2 and 0. Browns. This games in Cleveland. The slate, the schedule for Cleveland, it's tough.

So when you, you know, all these expectations, you know, Jason tempering the fantasy expectations. Now Beckham is a beast. He's the wide receiver four. We have him consensus wide receiver four in the week. Chubb, I expect great things. You're not sitting Chubb or Beckham. No. But starting Baker against the Rams in this game at home, it's an iffy play. I don't know if it's a ceiling play. Jarvis Landry has not showed up. You can't really do anything there. And then we're going to get to see.

We're going to see Ricky Seals Jones maybe out there, Jason. What do you think? Not excited. No, I'm not excited at all. You're not keeping an eye on. I mean, sure, I'll keep an eye on. Honestly, Demetrius Harris is probably the better play over Ricky Seals Jones. So I'm not super excited about either of them yet. Certainly not starting either one of them. Yeah, that's it. Gross.

Jared Garf, what are you doing with King Goughrey in this game? I think you can play him. He is much better at home and unfortunately he's not there, but I still think that you can play him. He's a bench, big bench for me. Really? Is this all just based on the home road split thing? Well, right now, no, it's not. Right now the Brown's defense is, you know, looking okay. Both defenses are top seven and passing yards allowed. Just 200 yards a game.

I don't think it's a real ceiling play with the pass rush coming from Cleveland. They looked a lot better on defense last week than they did in week one. So you'd rather play, you'd play Baker over golf? I would play Baker over golf. Okay. I think I would do that at home, yeah. The Brown's defense, to me, has not looked good. You could say they're top seven, and I would say, well, they played Marcus Marietta and.

the, you know, the Jets third Strymers Slash Luke Falk. Exactly. Well, they don't get to choose who they play. Well, sure, but if we're saying, well, they're only allowing 200 passing yards a game. I'd say, how did they give up 200 passing yards a game? All right. I guess we disagree on that one. Pass rush looked really good last week for Cleveland and Jared Goff. You mix in a shaky road performance record with a strong pass rush in Cleveland.

I'm not encouraged, especially with the inconsistency we've seen from him. So I think he's going to make some mistakes, and I just don't have the same confidence you guys do in King Gonfrey. I would sit him. You guys would play him. Todd Gurley. Todd Gurley's just been kind of fine for fantasy. 15 and 20 opportunities in the two games. You're probably just playing Todd Gurley if you have him. Yeah. Brandon Cook's, Robert Woods, Cooper Cup. Last week was a Brandon Cook's week. Now, last year you had a lot of

All of them weeks, right? Last week was really a Cooks and Cup week. You know, Robert Woods has some... Yeah, but once again, Woods had his day and then it was taken away. Doesn't matter for fantasy owners. It doesn't feel good. It doesn't matter for fantasy owners. It scores not a lot of points for them. Totally agree, but I think the point Mike is bringing up is that what the Rams were doing and did on the field could have included all three of them easily. The penalties wipe those things away, but I don't think it's like...

You know, it wasn't one of those situations where they weren't going his way. They were focused on the other two. Goff was focused on all three. The penalties just wiped that away. Are you benching any of the three? Are you just starting all three of those guys? Nope. I will play all three. Okay. Me as well. All right. And then Brown's second most sacks in the league thus far, but I think I'll get the who they played argument again. Yeah. How many times was Mario Zacked?

against Jacksonville. A lot. A lot. Jacksonville was back. Yeah, they were. We have to at least mention the name. Gerald Everett for tight-end streamers because Tyler Higby looks like he is not going to play. Everett has had some mild success when he has had to step in and be that guy. He had, I believe, four targets last week. So you're not talking real, real juiced up to play Everett.

But he's in the streaming category for me this week. So far through two games, in case you're curious, Brandon Cooks has 10 total targets. Robert Woods has 15 total targets. Cooper Cup has 19 total targets in the offense. Woods only had two last week. Cooper Cup had nine. So obviously you talked about some of the plays coming back, but that's a big disparity in week, disparity in week two.

Yeah, again, it goes back to the five that came back, that don't go on the box score at all. But it seems like it's a pretty even distribution there. 19, 15, 10? I'm just giving the five that didn't exist that were pulled back. I mean, I totally get that. I totally get that they didn't happen. They're irrelevant for fantasy. But what the play call was, what the quarterback did, and where he threw the ball. Yeah, moving forward. Was even.

Bears one and one taking on the Redskins at O and two. Redskins or the Bears are four point favorites on the road in Washington. 41 point over under. This is our Monday night football matchup. Case Keenham has as many quarterback one weeks as 16 other teams in the NFL, aka half the league, aka two. He's got two, two QBB1 weeks. That was a really overcomplicated way to say that Case Keenum has been awesome for fantasy. That's right.

But the Bears. Exactly. I mean, it's one of those things where I want to start Case Keenum as a streamer. So it's just such a shame. You know, I love Terry McLaurin. What I've seen there is like, oh, man, the Bears. I just, it stinks that they have to play them this week. It stinks every week someone has to play the Bears.

It just doesn't seem fair. Yeah, bears are a great defense. They're giving up 14 fantasy points to the quarterback position, 14 to the running back position, 24 to the wide receiver position, which is ninth best in the league. 99. Yeah, they're showing up. Tight ends have done a little against them this year, but that's because somebody has to. Some position has to. So Terry McLaren, Mike. I play him. Really? Yeah, I do. Wow. I don't. Jason?

I mean, right now he is in one of my lineups. But like I said earlier, I'm not excited here. This is where. When I say, like, Fleck, this is a wide receiver three flex play. This isn't, I'm cramming him. If I only play two wide receivers, I'm making him go in there. It's all a matter of what you have. I'm choosing to believe what McLaurin has done the first two weeks. And the bears are great. They are not invincible. Emmanuel Sanders.

And no, I'm not calling McLaurin and Manuel Sanders. But Mandy Sanders just had himself a great game against this Chicago defense. So it's not an impossibility that McLaurin is just fine. Andy, if you had the option of playing McLaren, Cortland Sutton, or Marquez, Valdez, Scantling. I'll play McLaren in that one. Okay. So, I mean, that's about the type of group that you're dealing with. David Montgomery in this game.

Adrian Peterson, the running backs. Give me Montgomery. Montgomery, well, it's not necessarily a choice, just wanted your thoughts on them. Week two Montgomery, snap count 45% rushing attempts. What was it? 18? Yeah, so the snaps weren't what you're hoping for for Montgomery, but the opportunity was there. Like, he was the guy. Is that 18 of 25 snaps? Like an 18 of 25 running back attempts. So he was, he was the primary rusher for this team.

I'm like, I'm in. I'll play Montgomery this week. I saw enough from the workload to feel confident to plug him in. Do you bench Adrian Peterson in this match? He's just not, he doesn't have what it takes to overcome. Not enough, you know, you need some passing work to overcome the bad matchup, right? Yeah, especially with the combination of the offensive line and the defensive line here. You know, the offensive line of the Redskins has been trash and then.

How are they going to block the Bears D-line to give AP room to run? Alan Robinson, Anthony Miller. Through two weeks, Josh Norman has the third lowest cornerback grade from PFF. The Redskins have given up the most fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, 48 fantasy points a game. Now, even Mitch Trubisky can work with those numbers, can't he? For Alan Robinson, sure. Robinson should see enough volume that he'll be fine. Right in that two threshold.

Yeah, I think Robinson will be fine. Yeah, I do. Injury updates, we talked about it. Marlon Mack appears to be working for the first time this week. It's a good sign. Devin Singletary has officially been ruled out. Frank Gore. He is infinite. He is all. So Fred Jackson's coming back. That's what I think. To put a bow on that game, we said the Bears defense, they're shutting everything down except for the tight end position. Where is Vernon Davis in your streaming?

category. He's relevant. Vernon Davis or Jason Witten? Vernon Davis. There you. Yeah, actually, if I was Brooks, I'd probably right on the line there with Vernon Davis and Will Disley. I don't know. That's close. I have Wilson, so that's, I went for the Wilson. Everybody's just that. Everybody's just hesitant to sign Vernon Davis off of waiver wires because they just expect Jordan Reed to be back and we're just so stupid.

Jimmy Graham did return to practice Friday. Congratulations. All you Jimmy Graham owners. Ballers on a Budget. Presented by Fandul. All right, ballers on a budget. We're going to help you with your Fandual lineups this week. We're going to let Mike kick it off. Sure. Nelson Agallor. Agilar. Is it O'R or R? It's Aguilar. Aguilar. I kind of said them both at the same time. It's Nelson A. It's a. Nelson Aguilar. No, it's not that.

It's not. That's more of a Larry Cable Guy type of pronunciation. Nelson Aguilar. No, Nelson Aguilar. Nelson Aguilar. Did we get? I think we've really, should have just kept going. I can't believe the price on him. It's unbelievable. Because, see, we agree. Because his pricing has not seen the reflection of.

Deshawn Jackson being out and Alshan Jeffrey being out. Like he's he's going to be widely owned, but for a good reason. Like he's, he's going to see a bunch of target volume and he's crazy cheap. Well, and if you're playing in, you know, you're playing in the ballers.

uh tournament here where you just you win any week and then you're in the are you talking about the fantasy footballers leaderboard series with very limited entries at fandole.com slash ballers i am if you're in there you know you're because it's a limited entry i don't think it's one of those things where you're necessarily worrying too much about oh this guy's own you want the best options when i was coming to make my pick i came to make nelson

No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It's not going to be a thing. I came to make Nelson Aguilor my pick, and you already had him, Mike. I do like another wide receiver who I think is very undervalued at $5,900. Larry Fitzgerald, my start of the week, he balls out at home. This is a great matchup. Two teams with the highest pace of play in the NFL right now. Yeah. I think that this is going to be a, you know, the Vegas over under.

I'm taking over on that matchup. So Larry Fitzgerald is a real steal at $5,900. Yeah, incredible price in Aguilar, an incredible price on Larry Fitzgerald. There's a world. Larry Fitzgerald's a top 15 wide receiver rest of the season. I don't disagree. Pace of play, air yards. His average target depth is completely changed from last year. And Kyler's slinging it around, man. It's there. It was so funny. You might want to go get him. Legitimately go trade for him.

In a press conference with Larry Fitzgerald, someone was, a reporter was asking him if he's like, you know, now getting open more. And he laughed. He's such a good man, so he didn't want to like give it to the reporter, but he laughed to himself a little bit and said, I think I've been getting open for a while. I'm just getting the ball. Which has got to be fun for him, especially he's on the cusp of passing.

Tony Gonzalez for the second place in total receptions in NFL history. Could do it this week with 10 catches. I'm going to stack with you. Kyla Murray, $7,200 on Fanduel. That puts him in the lower third of pricing at the quarterback position at home. They got to figure the red zone out. But if they do, everything else is there on paper for Kyla Murray. And, you know, goodness, if he starts running a little bit more than what he's been doing, gets in the end zone. There's a lot of upside there. Kyle Murray's in the same.
