Snap Count Risers + Jason's Confession?! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/7

Cade Otton. Yeah, I mean, I've seen some coaches. Brother, your team is broken. Yeah, that team. They're in deep trouble. The nice thing is, once again, we have the simplicity of Dallas. They're great. Yeah, I just love it. You know, but Jerry Jones, you get a lot of crap on this show from me. And half of it is related to not installing blinds, but go on. Oh, look, I'm, it's deserved. I'm just saying we.

We don't give enough credit for how bad as defense is. Yeah, but you're doing great things for the fantasy football community, so we appreciate that. Two bad defenses went out in the offseason and we're like, let's fix it. And one of them dead. Yeah, the Bengals. Also, but I mean, George could get the ball a little more. That'd be okay. Yeah, last week it was 21 targets. Three targets. Twenty-one targets to three. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, play CD, play Giovante. I'm still playing George. Absolutely, I'm playing George. I'm still playing George. It'll work out. And here's the thing about Dallas that you don't know.

They have not hit explosive past plays yet. Or maybe you do know it if you have George. Yes. But they have the most. Those things are correlated. They have the most red zone touchdowns. So slower drives getting down the field. And 30th in percentage of 20-plus yard completions, it will happen. George Pickens has not lost the step or anything of that nature. He's drawn two or three pass interference penalties, and he hasn't. He had a big play last week. I mean, he did. He caught a downfield ball. I think he was in the 70s in yardage, even though he had two catches, right?

Yes, that is correct. And DAC looks good too. Yeah, this team is going to be fine this week. On Thursday night football, you know, my biggest worry as somebody who has to start Bucky this week with Ken Walker on by, I kind of know the game script here. If Dallas comes out and scores two quake touchdowns. It's going to be so much, Devante. Yeah, well, I was going to see on the other side, you just can't commit to the run. You can't give Bucky the ball on first and second down. You have to go out there and try to manufacture scoring. It's just one of those things where you're like, man.

Can Tampa's defense just sneak a defensive touchdown or something to keep this thing close? But yeah, not an almost upset pick for me, guys. Surprised? No. No. Because it's Jalen Daniels here. It's not Jaden Daniels. Right. And I do see. If Jaden Daniels was on the Tampa Bay Bucking here. I do see how you made the mistake. Do you think the Tampa Bay Bucks thought that too? Oh, yeah. They saw, they're like, oh, dude. There's a J. Daniels on the waiver wire? Yeah, that's probably what happened. What did Washington do? Pick him up. That's probably it.

I just like the first thing you said they have the same color. Like it's kind of red, kind of a red profile picture with the jerseys. The jerseys and they're both the team colors are red. Which is what the B. Robinson problem was because like, that one's even more. I mean, that one's on the same team. That's, yeah. And I mean, that one you could easily get wrong because you're like, well, that guy had three touchdowns. I got a confession. I got a confession to make. Oh, oh, fantastic. But it's on behalf of a foot clan member.

who wrote me a note and I'll share it. His wife was going into the Monday night football game in desperate straits, needing a big performance. So the only player she had to start that night was Brian Robinson. And her kind husband was like, listen, your best chance at a miracle is to drop that dude and sign Kendra Miller because he's the best chance for us a Monday night miracle. Oh.

And Brian Robinson scored thrice and would have won her the week. And Kindray. Brother. Kindrade. That's some deep state stuff. What I like about that is, you know, like, I don't know if his wife was super, like if he was looking for help. So maybe she's not super experienced. And I like the idea of him being like, let me button up the tie. Let me give you the sweet advice. Let me show you how pro handles this. You clown. Get this Kendrae Miller guy. That's fantasy in a nutshell. I love it.

You guys ready for some mailbag? Yes, sir. Mailbag. Apparently, the Falcon also told his fiancé to start Lad over Debo and lost because of that. Good stuff, man. So the advice is flowing. Into the mailbag. You guys are doing great work. We go.

The Fantasyfootballers.com. Click to submit a question button if you want some help this week. I want to send us a question for the mailbag. You can dial the voicemail hotline 302464 TFFB. We got a couple of voicemails in here, Josh. Is that right? We do. Let's jump in. Hey, ballers. Mike from Brooklyn here. I was wondering if you ever use DFS pricing to figure out who you should start and sit. Looking forward to you, boys. Yeah, I mean, so I know that as part of my

rankings process, I look at all of the projections and lines from pretty much every book out there. I don't look specifically at the salaries personally, but it's the same thing. Salaries are directly correlated to points per game. It's how well have you been doing? Yes. It's not necessarily how well are you going to do. Yeah. So I mean, I think we've glanced at them from time to time. And when we've had other segments where those things have been highlighted, they can be helpful.

for sure. But spider writing in from Instagram. What do I do with... Spider? Yeah. Scary. Spidey. Spidey R. X. So he's a pharmacist. Oh, doctor. Pharmacist. Oh, yeah. Yeah. He works at Walgreens on, you know, when he's not. The friendly neighborhood. Spidey. What do I do with David Montgomery? If I can't find a trade, you won't be able to find a trade. Do I bitterly weep?

Oh, there's... It'll probably get better. It will get better. I would say that you... No, it won't. Okay. If you have a closet or something that you can put some candles in, turn it into like a little prayer room. That would probably be your best avenue because I do think that there, that it could get better. It could. Statistically, it could because it's the worst right now. Tide for 39th and yards per carry. Lateral is possible. Tide with... Lateral is probable. Yes. But...

It could get better. I mean, you saw it in week one, right? Week one, he rushed for three yards of carry. Wasn't that good. But he had multiple touchdowns because the offense was doing well. That was a Nico game. Nico is back. Obviously, you've seen that their offense is able to work with Nico there. CJ Stroud looks good. So right now, David Montgomery is truly a hold. If you're going to trade him away, you're going to get nothing for him. And he is...

obviously not someone that should be dropped. So I think you just hold and you hope that the offense gets more scoring opportunities and that's it, right? I think I agree that he's not a drop. But he's not a drop because you can't drop running backs at start. Buy weeks are hitting. Someone's going, he will get picked up. Someone will burn priority. Someone will burn Fabb to put him on their bench. Yeah. All he is doing is. It would be me though if he was out there.

He feels like a landmine where it's just all year you're going to be like, man, David Montgomery's there. They're favored by over a touchdown against Tennessee this week. I mean, I'll bet his odds to score a touchdown this week are decently high. They scored 30 points on the Dallas Cowboys. And David Montgomery had 4.3 fantasy points. Yeah. I mean, the opportunities are very low the last three weeks, 6, 11, and 10. Because they're...

It's like the Packers. They know what's going on. I mean, if he can't do it against the Colts defense, if he can't do it against Dallas's defense, that's the last two weeks. That's where I'm asking. Why is Tennessee better? Man, I'm getting persuaded that he's David Crappertunity. I think if you look at the Nikolas versions of...

the Texans, which are two of those games where, you know... Where they would want to lean on the running game? Well, you can't. If the defense only has one thing to focus on... Right, but if Nico's there, then I'm going to run my offense through Nico. Correct. And you can score more... But if they're up... See, they... I don't... I don't buy it, man. It's like... I'm trying to craft something. Yeah. It's... You're cooking up a brew for David. It feels like a dark mirror version of Giovante.

Something about the offense doesn't work for him. Here. The offensive line. Yeah, it's probably. I mean, he doesn't get, like, if you told me that David Montgomery can't run between the tackles right now, but he's getting six targets. Yeah. But he got zero. Zero is way fewer than six. I mean, the good news for him is it's not like Woody Marks is looking great behind him. Woody Marks is running for three yards of carry. It's a really tough offensive way. What's that? What's Montgomery? I think.

27? Right, right. Two seven. Woody's at 3-1. Yeah, no, I mean, they're both bad. Woody looks like he has juice, though. Yes, he does. I get it. Dropping a starting running back is that feels like you just can't do it. I mean, you're not doing that. But at what point? For at all costs. You're doing that if you can pick up. Like, you would have done that for Will Shipley, probably. Maybe. You're not doing it for Jalen Wright. So here's what, here's what's going on for Montgomery.

Tennessee. I agree. Could be good. It should be. It should work. Are they going to lose to Tennessee in Tennessee? No. No. I don't think that is. That's not in the outcome. Oh, get ready. Get ready. It should work. Get ready. But then the next week is Jacksonville. Oh, Jason's face told me, I guarantee you it's an almost upset. That's what's going to happen this year. Seven and a half is a large line. Seven and a half on the road.

So Jacksonville is the next week. No way am I playing David Montgomery. Even he could go out and have a multi-touchdown game against the Titans. The Jacksonville Jaguars? No, thank you. Sure. Then you get the Giants. Okay. And then you get a buy week. I don't know. The upcoming stretch here is not. But if you hold him, you can drop him and say goodbye during that week. Yeah, that's not not compelling. It's not going well. You're not going to win a week because of him right now. No. But you could lose one.

I'm moving them down my rankings. For rest of season? Just everything. Dynasty, rest of season, weekly. You name it, man. Up your rankings in terms of players you dislike. All right, we'll take a break. I still like Montgomery. It's not working. It's not working. It's not working. David Montgomery or Ollie Gordon. Oh, my God. Not even close. Ollie Gordon. Ooh, RJ Harvey, move ahead of David Montgomery. Yeah.

Yeah. All right. Here for you, Mike. Oh, I got the nastiest one. J.K. Dobbins. I'm moving him up. I'm moving him up over Montgomery. Wow. Tony Pollard. Paulard. Easy. Yeah. I'm moving Montgomery down. I mean, that's easy. I was moving other players above Montgomery. I'm just moving on. I still think he deserves to be rostered. Yeah, he definitely does. He's the starting. You're on weeks where you can't start somebody. I mean, do you want Jacori-Crossky Merritt or do you want David? I want Bill.

Jason. All the answers are everyone else, but also you shouldn't drop him. So the answer to the, if I can't find a trade for him, the answer is bitterly weep. Yes. Honestly, trade. Keep the clothes on, walk right in the shower. The trade is the most compelling actual. You can do this. You just can't trade Montgomery by himself. But if you take, if the fundamental piece of the trade, let's see you're trying to get a better running back and you take a wide receiver and then you tuck.

David Montgomery in there. Yeah. It will look more compelling than the actual player is playing. Sure. And sometimes, like, if I'm giving you a running back, like, I need someone to at least put in the lineup. I get that. But if you offer me a trade with Montgomery, I want a better player from you. I mean, if I said... To remove Montgomery from your, your roster. If I offered Luther Burden and David Montgomery, could I get Bucky Irving?

Maybe. That's the type of, maybe. If you just offer Luther burden, you're not getting Bucky Irving, but if you said Luther and David Montgomery, maybe? Is that kind of little tier thing that you could do? Maybe. And then send them highlights of the Lions Day. Marshaun Lloyd or David Montgomery. We found it. That's David Montgomery.

No, Chris Brooks is hurt. I'm taking Lloyd. No way. Yes, I am. What? Chris Brooks is hurt and Josh Jacobs. Lloyd is actually catching passes. Yeah, I'm definitely taking Lloyd. That's definitely what I'm doing. Oh, they're tied at 2.7 yards per carry. Yeah, well, that makes sense. All right. I want a Lloyd v. Montgomery bet this week. Depending on Chris Brooks is active. I did say Chris Brooks. Yeah. Let's take a break. We'll be right back.

All right, back into the mailbag. Let's go into another voicemail. Hey, ballers. Quick question. Rest of season, D.K. Metcalfe or Luther Birdie? Thanks. Good. We're right back into these. Look, I want the offense that I think the eventuality of it will win me a championship. I don't think Aaron Rogers and the Steelers' offense is going to do that down the stretch. Rogers is not going to get stronger as this season goes on.

But Caleb Williams is going to return. And the best players, if they are good, they emerge. So I will take burden pretty handily. I was going to say I've got burden significantly higher. You're taking the bird in hand? You didn't even hear what you said, man. No, I mean, I said it. You walked right into it. Swish. I said I take burden handedly. Yeah. Yeah. I stand by it. But you shouldn't be so upset that we didn't applause.
