Starts of the Week + Week 4 Breakdown, Jason's Curse - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/26

while we run to the edge. So it's actually probably good news for Gibbs. Crazy, huh? Yeah, it's insane. I didn't know he was on the line either. That was special breaking news just for the show. You were probably saying some things about some of the players. I was just going to say, so I've got Dallas Gardner in three of my main leagues. It has worked out very well over the last couple of weeks. He was my pickup for injuries in those leagues. I took a shotgun approach. across three leagues and I took Dallas Goddard and I traded him for the top five tight ends, you know, the ones you want. So did you, you fired out 15 trades? I fired out 15 trades across three different leagues and I got one of them to go through. I was able to trade Dallas Goddard for Mark Andrews. I don't know. Maybe it doesn't work out. Maybe it does. I got Dallas Goddard off of the waivers and now I added Mark Andrews to my team. So if you've got Dallas Goddard, if you're one of those lucky teams, just if there's guys you would rather have, shotgun it because you never know, baby. The frivolity of your trading.

I'm seen from you in history. All right. I think that covers this match up. Yeah, it does. Well, no, the one other question is Baker. Oh. Like, would you start Baker over Anthony Richardson? Yes. At home, yes. Against Philly's secondary with Mike Evans and Chris Godwins, I would do that. I have Baker ranked a couple spots behind Richardson. I mean, Richardson's downside is so tremendous. Yeah, I mean, that. Like, when's the last time Baker scored? Negative. I guess last week he was at eight and a half. Baker was real bad last week. Yeah, he was the number two, number six, and then number 27. I would play Baker personally. And week two, like against the Lions, this is like this, that should be a matchup that we're excited to play Baker Mayfield in. He completed 12 passes for 185 yards and one touchdown. He just, he ran for 34 yards and scored on the ground. The odds of Richardson giving you a.

Big performance are almost nothing. So that's why I would play Baker is that Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh could make Richardson look foolish, but if Richardson has a good game, it's still not going to be the ceiling that you would get from Baker at home against the Steelers. That's why I would go that way. Yeah, I get it. The Bengals at 0 and 3 take on the one in two Carolina Panthers in what Mike is calling his game of the week. The one in six combined. Bengals Panthers matchup. The Draft King Sportsbook Line since he minus four on the road, the O'Runders 47, which is the second highest total of the week. That's gross. Let me just say that is gross that 47 is the second highest of the week. We have gone down in total touchdowns, right, for three straight weeks. Correct. What if we didn't do that? Yeah, let's score more. Well, let me tell you how we're going to score more. Andy Dalton, baby. Against the Cincinnati Bengals, Andy Dalton has a chance to end.

the Bengals season in 2024. I mean, as the former franchise quarterback of the Bengals who was tossed into the garbage thrown away. I mean, this is like this is this got to mean something special that man. It probably means something special these Bengals defenders as well. His passing line said. That doesn't matter at two. They have defenders. I mean, believe it or not, they have defenders. Um, it didn't look good against Washington. It looked really good the week before. So, you know, they're up against it, right? It's make or break for the Bengals. I think this is a tough one. A tough one to break down. The whole run is great. I mean, you could get a game like the Washington game where you get a lot of production from both sides of the football and you love it. But, you know, Chuba Hubbard, big week last week. Deonti Johnson, your start of the week, Andy Dalton, a streaming candidate in this one. And then keep your eyes on Xavier Legat.

Yes, because I think this is his game. I think this is the one where you should see breakout potential in it. Only three targets last week, but a very explosive player. You want to see the snaps go up. They should. You need to stash him. Grab him on waivers right now this week. Yeah, no feeling. Yeah, Thielen's on IR. This is a first round rookie who now has a quarterback that can get him the ball. And so I love that callout. I think he should be rostered. He should not be on any waivers. Zach Moss on the other side of the football. Probably a good wide receiver two or running back two this week. Yeah, the volume is there. His rushing line is at 55 and a half. But he's he's the guy. He's the guy for the Bengals. Top 24 wide receiver the last two weeks. No, not talking about Jemar Chase and T. Higgins. Talking about Andre Yoshivas, who got some good publicity from his head coach this week, said the arrows pointing up.

five for 52 in a touchdown last week, two receptions and had two touchdowns only on seven yards. That's tough. That's Mike Evans stuff. Yeah. But, no. You know, would you rather stash Yoshivas or Legat? Because you know, you know, the team is looking, like the team is not keeping T. Higgins. And T. Higgins is often hurt. So like the future number two for this team is going to be evaluated. Yeah. He'll be evaluated, but I mean, they're making game plans to win and they have to win. They're trying to make the playoffs and they're starting 0 and 3. So T. Higgins is the better wide receiver and is the more important, more involved player going forward this season. I would rather have Xavier Leggett than Yoshibos as a stash. So Joe Burroughs my start of the week. No, no, he's not. No, he's my start of the week, though. It says Andy's. Oh, don't even know who your start of the week is. Joe Burrow, good to go.

Should be a fun game. A lot of fantasy relevant players. And we'll see if Andy Dalton comes down to Earth, which, look, that can happen. No. That's kind of why. No, it will not. Not this week. How many, how many teams has he played for since Cincinnati? I mean, you've got New Orleans, Chicago, Dallas, Carolina. So it's been, it's been since 2019 when he departed Cincinnati. It's kind of wild. So we'll see what he does at home against a desperate Bengals team. That generally, you know, they throw some stuff at the quarterback that they're not used to see. I do expect, like this is one where the hope is you're going to get two bad defenses to good enough offenses where you have a barn burner and you score a ton of points. But I do expect the Bengals to come out here as a team on fire. They're not going to.

because they're 0 and 3, they're not going to dismiss the Panthers and not get up for this game. It's like Baltimore last week going to Dallas. Exactly. The Bengals are a good team. They're not, you know, they're the most shocking O and three team to start. And so, yeah, I think they're going to go in here and cover this line. All right, it's time to move on. We'll cover the rest of the matchups on tomorrow's episode of the show as well as our Wheel of Shame and Fantasy. face off. We do have our parley partay and I need, uh, I need the Falcon to bring you some of the gosh. Freaking Brandon Iyuk. Brandon Iyuk. 60 yards. That's all you needed to do. You got 10 targets. He didn't get 60 yards. Five for 48. Unbelievable. Yeah. The clown, the clown, uh, wig goes back on for Mike and I. Kyla Murray.

27. Jason's back. I'm the king again, baby. So two clowns, one crown. And this week, Jason hit the, Jason's got a pattern. I got a pattern. And it's doing the same thing every week, which is taking two out of three. I'm trying to find a running back with a busted receiving line. And so I'll hop right in with mine because I'm doing it again. Chuba Hubbard's line. It's broken over two and a half receptions. That's all he needs. This is a game we just finished covering where last week he got the ball more than 20 times, including five receptions from Andy Dalton. This is a new team with Andy Dalton who is going to check down to Chuba. He just needs to get it three times over two and a half. That is my favorite line this week. And based on the fact this clown wig is starting to feel more and more at home in 2024, you may want to bet the opposite of mine, but I...

I don't under, look, the Rashad White line I had two weeks ago. You're coming as a hater. Seems like a, I think you're right in this, though. I like this line. Well, that's why expect a big game. But Garrett Wilson, I'm taking the under 65 and a half receiving yards. The alt line. He has not hit 65 receiving yards yet in 2024. And then you get Patrick Sertan in this game. This seems like a lock. D.K. Metcalfe on Patrick Sertane. had 29 yards. George Pickens had 29 yards. Mike Evans had 17 yards as far as on the plays where Certan was covered. So you've got to more than double those peak numbers in order to lose this one. But Wilson's actually been under this number nine of the last 11 going back to before Thanksgiving. So I really want to put the crown on. Yeah. I'll share it with you. I'll share it with you next week. And you went to Hayton. Yeah. I had to mix it up. I get it. This is our week. We're going to be three kings.

Nico Collins, 70 plus receiving yards, eight targets in every game this year. CJ Stroud is my quarterback star of the week. 80 plus yards and five straight games going back to last year for Mr. Nico Collins. It's the Jaguars. Look, they play the highest rate of man coverage in the NFL. It's not going to matter because Nico is a man. And you cannot stop the dig route from Nico Collins. To add to this, the Jaguars. shocking lack of a pass rush. I mean, they have all of a sudden, they have no pass rush. If Stroud has time in the pocket, that's where he finds those down the field bombs. It's less Stefan Diggs, more of Nico and Tank. And then Tank is currently dealing with his own thing. Yeah. Nico should easily pass 70 yards. All right. So the parlay parquet, Garrett Wilson, under 65 and a half receiving yards, Chuba Hubbard over two and a half receptions and Nico Collins. 70 plus. Let's be triple crown. The triple crown next week.
