Starts of the Week + Week 10 Breakdown, Steel Underpants - Fantasy Football Podcast for 11/10

But in the meantime, my start of the week is Jay Willie. It's Jamal Williams, my note saying, will DeAndre Swift ever be good again? I do not know. But in the meantime, Jay Willie is getting those opportunities 24 last week. The Bears of the fourth best matchup for running backs. The Lions, high tea. It will be established. Fourth in rush rate in the first half of games, eighth in the second half. And that is while trailing. So they don't care. They just want to run the ball over and over, and they do have a very large advantage here in their offensive line versus the bear's defensive line. All right. Miles Sanders is my start of the week at the running back position. Did very well in prime time last week. I, we're going to keep it rolling. I am so frustrated here with Miles Sanders of over the course of the offseason the summer. Like both you and I were like,

We were rising. He was in our breakout candidates in the UDK early in the offseason. And we got scared. The early breakout show up at, I think in Detroit, it was Miles Sanders. I was getting really hot and bothered by him. And then he comes out. He's like, oh, do not draft me for fantasy football. Well, here's the thing. You lied to me, Miles. The Eagles are heavy favorites. Double-digit favorites this year. They've averaged 27 points a game. He's the RB 12 on the year. Not a joke. Yesterday, Brooks was walking through the office. And he shows me a signed Miles Sanders jersey. We had purchased that for a giveaway. And we had retired it on a shelf. Yeah, last year. Yeah, and we forgot. We buried it. We're like, we're never giving this way. No one wants this. And suddenly this resurgence, I think it continues against Washington. Yep, at wide receiver.

I'm going with Darnell Mooney against the Detroit Lions. Let's go. Let's get in this game, lost in the shuffle of Justin Fields Mania's the fact that Mooney has been very good over the last month, 7.8 targets per game, nearly 60 receiving yards last week. He was 7 for 43 and 1 against Miami, and he's got a better matchup this week. The Lions are allowing the highest percentage of 15 plus yard pass plays, and they are 30th against fantasy wide receivers. Mooney is a... Very good player. I want pieces in this game. And it's time to steal up. I'm going with Cortland Sutton. My wide receiver started the week. Boston. The Titans, we may be saying that next week. But the Titans are the third best wide receiver matchup, allowing five points above expectation. They're allowing nearly 14 yards per reception. That's the fifth highest in the NFL. Again, the Broncos are coming off of the bye week.

And I think that they get things figured out. Like, Cortland Sutton to me is still a very talented player. He does have these hot and cold streaks. And I expect that we will see some more hotness off of the by week. I think we are at the point now. You know, Jason's got his boom, boom kicker. I end up with an almost upset very often. I feel like at this point Mike needs his steel underpants start of the week. Yeah. I try to give at least one a week. Every week you do have one pick that we are disgusted by. Like we, Jason and I, we are really, we take nausea medication every week for one of your picks. Can you give me that bottle, by the way? We spend the week trying to talk you out of it. Right. But then a lot of times you're still underpants.

They look good on that beach, man. You're at there just looking good. Yeah. Like they can't rust. No, no, no, that's 100% UV protection. Not for the other people around me, though. That's right. They're getting blasted. Just blast. Very shiny chrome. All right. My wide receiver start of the week is, look, one of my favorite players of all time. I used to say a star is born about him. I've always been a real. Yeah. Look, I can get behind him for a week. Juju Smith-Schuster against Jacksonville, the last three weeks, you're in a boom, chakalaka territory here. He's on fire. Wide receiver 7, 4, and 15, 8 of more targets in all but two of his games this year. They are throwing the ball at the highest rate because they cannot run it. And we said it yesterday. He kind of goes out and he runs like Kelsey-like routes. And whenever the other team tackles Travis Kelsey, which is so often. I don't know if you saw this around the goal line last week, there were.

two consecutive tackles of Kelsey that they threw flags on. And in the third play, the refs couldn't throw a third flag in a row, but they tackled him again. And when that happens, Judeo's just there. He's open. He's in the very, he's so close to the line of scrimmage. He can always be seen. And Jacksonville 31st and schedule adjusted fancy points against the wide receiver position. So I will, you know, my guy, Judith Schuster. Yeah. Nice. I love to see it. Who would you take in a Dynasty League? Juju Smith-Schuster or Alan Robinson? Yeah, I'd take juju. All right. At tight end, I am going with Greg D. Greg Dulcich. Me. He's the most popular question on our site this week. Everybody wants to know, can we start Greg D? People are asking, what about Pitts on Thursday or Greg Dulcich? Evan Ingram at Kansas City.

Tyler Higby, who was my start of the week coming into today, but with the Matthew Stafford concussion or Injoku coming off of injury. I am taking Greg Dulcich over all of those players. He's had three games in his career. He's had three top 12 fantasy performances. I am not quite as confident in the- Handsome. He is very handsome. Looks strikingly like Weird Al. That's what we learned on Halloween. You guys saw that Weird Al featured a picture of me. Yes, who did not dress up as Weird Al, but he loved your Halloween costume. And yet you did. Yeah, you certainly did. Look, Greg D. has posted a 19% targets per route run that is great for a tight end.

His three weeks are three top 12 fantasy finishes, and the Titans are 24th and schedule adjusted fantasy points allowed to the fantasy tight ends. They are 30th out of all teams over the last six weeks. I think that the place Russell Wilson can find success is Greg D against this defense. My tight-in start of the week, as I mentioned, it was supposed to be Kate Otten in that Germany matchup, so maybe you set your alarm clock. and wake up and find out if Kate doesn't make me that nervous. If Camer Brate, if he's, but it's a fair point. The problem is just, he's just like if every, all the work is for Cato. Yeah, no, I get it. So if Cameron Brade is out, then I'm taking credit for the KDOT and start of the week. Right here right now. But my, my backup option here, I had to go. I did, look, you get there fast and then you take it slow. Cole Komet, aka Colcombeau, which he.

kind of ruined that nickname, but maybe it's back. Maybe it's back. Lions are the third best matchup for the tight end position. Colquette finally had more than five targets on the season. It turned into two touchdowns. I'm not expecting two touchdowns, but if you can get at least a little bit of volume in a matchup that could turn into a shootout, you could definitely do worst. Over the last month, the six most routes run at the tight end position, he's on the field a ton. Maybe we figured out Colquette. This is maybe. Well, look, if they score as often as they're scoring, he's going to have opportunities in the red zone. That's because you can't stop everything, right? If you're going to focus on Justin Fields, you're going to get these screen games. I don't mind it. I'm going with the Muth. He's getting Luth. Oh, he's getting so Luth. That's a great start. Chase Claypool, out the door, 17% of the target, 19% of the receiving yards. It's time to get Luth. George Pickens and Pat Friarmeuth are going to do some work. And look, after.

Coming back from his concussion, nine targets, seven targets, such a friend to a rookie quarterback, finds space, sure-handed. Dominate the middle of the field. He's going to be good, not just this year, but the rest of the year, because the muth always gets loose. Let's move on. Jason Moore's Ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week. Faced with a bossman, I called on the foot clan, lest I be utterly fooled. From Gondor, I raised a horn, amazed 30,000 to battle Robbie Gould. I don't think Kyle could handle that one. And I know you participated in the, you know, editing process. That's the edited version? Jason is a master with words. Thank you.

The Horn of Gondor, and you're fighting Robbie Gould? Not just me. 30,000. The Fooklander with me. This is, I'm very, this segment has taken a turn. It's tough to follow. Robbie Gould, though, he's a pretty ornery guy. Yeah, and we're going to need all 30,000 of you to help me take him down. But he is my boom, boom, kicker. I would put my money on you and 30,000 people. Yeah, against a kicker. Against a kicker. I mean, come on. Kickers shouldn't even be in the league. And yet you built this segment of research. Yeah. Yeah, well, it's because I'm so pro-kicker. The matchups that we didn't cover today, we're going to cover them tomorrow. Did you let Jason Myers go? He's with us now. He's fighting alongside. Are you trying to follow the story? Stockholm syndrome? Yeah, of course. Well, I wasn't the one holding him hostage. Robbie Gould was.

Oh, oh, that's what happened. He's the boss man. Robbie Gould was the mysterious villain from us. Okay. Okay. Now it's more interesting. The book will be published at the end of the years. You better be. I need it. We also have another... I need the subtitles for the regular segment. We also have another podcast that is just a companion podcast. Oh, really?
