The results of week nine's buy or sell. They are in. I took things home.

Jay. You did. With a big over. That is true. I got J.K. Dobbins, uh, scrimmage yards correct. And Andy also nailed Marvin Jones. Uh, I can't believe Marvin Jones wasn't a top 24 guy. Yeah, reading this, it's surprising because I. Shame on you, Marvin. Right. It was like, well, not only that, but he had a decent game. You know, he was, he was the wide receiver 29. So I feel like we were right and buying it, but no, we were wrong.

All right, on this week's edition, James Connor. He gets to take on the Cincinnati Bengals, not a tough matchup by any stretch, but a top 10 running back. Last week, James Connor, and not the good kind of 55. Just outside the top 10. It's the running back 55 in a juicy matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Why? We still don't know.

We still don't know what happened. They just kept taking them off the field. They said, hey, Benny Snell, you should get on the field. Hey, Anthony McFarlane. But you get out there and get on the show. Now, James Connor has been a top 10 running back. Well, inside the top 10 twice. He was the RB 10 in week two against the Denver Broncos. So Jason, top 10 against the Cincinnati Bengals, you buy and are selling. So I think this is an interesting line. I think the line might be too high here because.

I can tell you, as someone who has James Connor in my main league and you watch that game, you're worried that, oh, no, has there been a change? Has there been any kind of transition? Is there an injury that's being dealt with, not being talked about? And you're worried about, should I start him? And if that was the case, I would give a resounding yes. I believe you should start him. I've moved it.

Top 15 now. I think that's a great line. I'm way better at this job than Brooks. Oh, man. I'm hosting. I'm changing the show, Doc. You're answering. What's your answer, Mike? My answer is, why don't you tell me your answer, Jason? I move the line. I am going to sell even at the 15. I think that this week I'm confident in James Connor as an RB2. I believe he'll still get the major work, but.

He really hasn't been great this year. He's been as solid as it comes for the majority of the year, you know, pretty much always being a top 24 back except this last week and outside of week one. How do you say that's not great? What I'm saying is not great is he has not given you those monster games. When you talk about the great backs, you talk about your Cameras and your cooks and your Henrys that they'll have those explosion games. I mean...

James Connor hasn't really been putting up those regular top five finishes. He hasn't had a top five finish once this year. That's what I'm talking about. Okay. Is the elite week. And so I'm going to sell the top 15. So we saw his running back attempt share at 60% last week. Look at the previous weeks who had 94% against Baltimore, 83% of the running back attempts against Tennessee. A top 15 against the Cincinnati Bengals, I am willing to buy it.

for James Connor. I think this was just a strange blip on the radar. They had their game plan. The game plan involved trying to get James Connor some rest against a very inferior opponent. The game plan kind of bit him in the butt, but they made it out alive and James Connor got some rest. Carson Wentz, the New York Giants are his opponent this week, a top 10 quarterback, Jason. Can he do it? We've seen him do it twice, and in fact it was...

twice in his last three games, including a matchup against the New York Giants where he was the QB7. Top 10, buy yourself. Oh, man. It's ironic because if you look at the opponent in the New York Giants, they have only given up a top 10 twice on the year. Wow, that's impressive. But it's twice in the last two weeks or twice in the last three weeks. And one of them, like you said, was Carson wins. I think the line of him hitting a top 10 is going to be difficult.

There are buy weeks this week, which helps that number seem inflated. I am going to sell. Ooh, I'm going to buy it. Okay. I will buy Carson Wentz having the top 10 week. We've seen him do it before. But he's finally getting his weapons back. You, Philadelphia Eagles apologists, you and Andy over here, just you can't stop caping for Carson Wentz. He doesn't have his weapons. He's got him now.

So he's got some. He's, he's got his wet, the weapons that he's going to have, he's got them. Jalen Rager is back. Dallas Goddard is back. Are you, are you inferring that because he doesn't have Zachary Ertz that he's missing a weapon? I was, I was referring even worse to Al Sean Jeffrey, who he'll never have. What?

Isn't there whispers that Alshan might be back? I mean, look, at some point he should be. Producers vet that. He's getting a lot of money to not play football. I imagine they would want him out there. But yeah, you know, this is one of those division games. And a lot of times when you see those divisional matchups, the defenses are ready. They know the tendencies. It's lower scoring. Not always. But I think the Giants defense is slightly underrated. They.

They are underrated, definitely. The New York defense, the Washington defense, they are being outshined by how terrible the offenses. Well said. Thank you. I mean that. That's exactly what's happening because their defenses are okay, but you can't see it through how bright the horrific offenses. Tyler Lockett. Oh, oh, brother. This line is way too high.

So I'm dropping this on the fly. Once again, doing Brooks's job for him. Tyler Lockett, Jason, top 20 wide receiver. Oh, mercy. You dropped that. And why is that a feel like to like a crazy line? Because those first three weeks, Tyler Lockett was single-handedly winning people their fantasy weeks. However, four of his last five games, he has finished outside of the top 50.

Outside of the top 50, D.K. Metcalfe has taken the mantle. He has become the wide receiver one for Russell Wilson and the Seattle Seahawks. Tyler Lockett, your boy, Jason, top 20 against the Los Angeles Rams. That is an absolute lock in by. Okay, you're going to lock it up? I have no doubts. Look, yeah, I'm going to lock it up. Great, great job, Mike. Yeah, I mean, I'm very good at this job today. He has certainly.

been disappointing, you just said, four of his last five games, not in the top 50. That's atrocious. Even with that, he is the wide receiver five on the season? This just in. The line has moved to top 15. This line is all over the place, but you've got to stay on your toes. All right, I am going to lock it in. I will buy. I think that this is a locket week. Jalen Ramsey is.

an awesome corner. And while I do not think he's going to shut down D.K. Metcalfe, I don't think that's possible. We saw that, you know, Stefan Gilmore is an awesome corner. He got, he got manhandled by D.K. McHath. Davius White. Excellent cornerback. Absolutely. 100%. But my point is, I think you could see this because of that be more of a Tyler Lockett game. And I think that the Rams will be able to keep pace and this should be a good game for us.

All right, and just to complete the trifecta of opposite Cs, I thought we were best friends, but we are polar opposites on buyer's cell. I'm going to sell just to rub it in your face when I sweep the buyer cell. Well, this is just such a great PSA. We can be best friends and disagree. Look at what we've done. We've brought the fantasy football community together.
