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

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. It's that kind of little tier thing that you could do. Maybe. Maybe. And then send them highlights of the Lions days. Mars John 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 or not. I did say Chris Brooks. Yeah. Let's take a break. We'll be right back.

What's going on? Foot Clan fantasy season can turn a regular day into a whole lot of what's next, especially when you see all these injuries going on and all the decisions you've got to make in fantasy. You've got to set your line up and check the injury report and listen to the podcast maybe and make the last minute roster move and somewhere in there, find a minute to refuel. And that's where Bob Evans macaroni and cheese is made for. For those in between moments, Papa Josh, you got to refuel.

I see him rubbing his tummy. We got these into the office. I housed an entire, they're technically for two to three people, but I counted as two or three people when I went in on that. In just minutes, Bob Evans, protein macaroni and cheese gives you rich, velvety comfort, and 18 grams of protein in every serving.

which is how I justified two to three servings. That seems like a good amount of protein for the muscles. So whether you're picking up kids from school or heading out the door for a game, take a few flavorful moments to reset, refuel, and enjoy Bob Evans, macaroni and cheese. When you're in between now and the next, bring out the Bob. Learn more at Bob Evansgrocery.com. That's bob Evansgrocery.com.

D.K. Nutcast 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 are 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 handily. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I stand by it. No, but you shouldn't be so upset that we didn't applause.

I don't need your applause. The people loved it. No, I just was trying to figure out. Hold you. Well, thank you. Oh, Falcon gave it a 10 at 10. That's terrible. I'm with you guys. What a terrible joke. All right, Eli writing in, what do I do if I'm Owen for? Do I make a crazy trade or stay the course? I mean, it's not somewhere in between there. It's not always just record. It's how is your team doing?

Points score. Yeah, like points. Where are you in points for game? Are you making bad decisions? Could you have won with bench players? Yeah. All of that stuff needs to be evaluated because luck is part of fantasy football. It just is. And sometimes you score the fourth most points every week. And you just happen to be up against the juggernaut of the week. So you have to evaluate. That's where you got to start. I've had a really funny year in my, like I'm in a CBS league for St. Jude's.

and I lost to the highest score in week one. I was the second highest score. I lost in week two another tough luck loss where I scored a bunch of points, right? So I'm sitting O and two in that league. I'm now two and two with two cheap wins. I mean, it's just the universe balanced in that league in a funny way where, you know, I'm like, oh my gosh, if I lost these two, I'm losing all of them. And it just evened out. Oh, and four, like we had this conversation on the show. People brought it up on social media.

We've had people 04, 05, 06. We had an 07 win a title. Staying the course might not be your answer because of all those variables. You may need to, you know, like right now, you probably can't afford to absorb buy week situations, right? Like if you're 0 and 4 and then you've got guys going into buy, maybe that's where you can make a trade for another player whose buys down the line. You can get a couple wins right now while other people's teams are on by. Think about it through that lens.

Kyle, who is the player that has surprised you the most given his preseason projections? Is it a player like Golden? I don't know if he was looked at as necessarily going to flop. For Golden, it was the opportunity is there. Does he have the player? Can the player come through with the opportunity he is given? I wasn't so sure. I was skeptical, but he has looked great. The biggest one for me is Chuba.

Yeah, like that's like that feels like probably my biggest miss. I wanted absolutely nothing to do with that situation. I hated him. I hated him as a fantasy football player, not just because of what Jonathan Brooks could or could not do. I just, I wasn't into the Panthers environment, but Chuba has been awesome. Yeah, I would say the Chargers top to bottom. All of.

All of that. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah, those guys. All the chargers. His own thing. Dude. We normally do this. I like, I mean, I have. They intended to be better, Jason. They did intend. Yeah, if they could award points on intentions. I always love taking a glance at the quartermark for where players are finishing in terms of like the positional rankings. Here's your top five quarterbacks. Do you want me to let you try to guess or just read them to you?

Just read them. Wow. Are you trying to like the surprise is in there? No, I just want to read you the top five. Okay. At each position. All right. So are you starting a quarterback? Starting a quarterback. Well, it's like Bryce and Shuck. Does Shuck hold on to top five? I think so. I think Josh Allen will be in there. Lamar should still be in there. No. Really? No. Shuck. Yep. Bryce is in there. Bryce. So Josh Allen is one. Shuck is three. Bryce is four.

Two more names. Oh, Kurt Cousins. He's six. Oh, I was so close. Number two is who you're missing here. All right. Who is it? Brock Purdy. Oh, of course. And number five right now is Jared Goff. Your top five running backs, this is not a shock. If you want to talk about like drafting predictability. Let's go Gibbs. Kimbone Walker. Bejohn. Who else is? Who is James Cook? Oh, Derek Henry. Derek Henry. Derek Henry's four. James Cook is 10. Jonathan Taylor.

Then Taylor's five. Cook was headed down with one. There's your top five. And then wide receivers. This shouldn't be too hard. Jason. Jason's one. Amanrah. Number three. Who's your other? Cedys number two. Just think about my team. I'm just thinking about your team. Four and five, though. Four and five are names that have not normally been there. We have a weird breaking news. Breaking news. The Philadelphia Eagles who just lost a tackle.

are sending two-time Pro Bowl Center Cam Jurgens to the Ravens in exchange for picks. Are they folding? What are we doing here? That's a little surprising. Shouldn't they like be acquiring all the offensive linemen? Well, they brought Damien Pierce up to the active roster so they don't. Oh, so Damien Pierce will be the guy. Remember what we talked about? We didn't know who of the three practice squads it would be. That's a weird one.

I think, I think Nick Siriani's odds to get fired midseason are going out by the minute. Nick Searani's in trouble. Philly is impatient. Philly is impatient. And also, despite the Super Bowls and Super Bowl victory as well, I'm pretty sure everyone there hates them. Dave wanted him out. I love, I just love the part where it's always another OC or another this or another that. Wow. Jason, Cidi Lammonra. The next two at wide receiver, do you got him? You should be a whole lobby is four. Mike.

Oh, I think, yeah. Oh, it's eight flowers? No. No. Because he missed. I don't know. It's going to be one of your guys. One of your guys. Oh, Christian Watson. Yeah, he held on. All right. Six is, six is tat, seven is Devante Adams. And then tight ends. You know who the number one tight ends is right now? George Kittle? Yes. Oh, man. Yes. Dude. That dude is.

That dude is awesome. Stop betting against George. He has the most touchdowns of the position. And then Trey McBride. Yeah. Number three. Number three. Do you want to know. Do you want to know where Brock Bowers is. He's eight. Yeah. Number four is the La Porta Potty. Okay. Yeah. And then number five is Travis Kelsey.

Yeah. Oh, that makes sense. So there you go. There's your top scores. Juan Johnson. Good for you, man. I also enjoy the fact that so the top five quarterbacks are the top five scores altogether. And then Dumeir Gibbs and Walker break in. There's quite an overlap of quarterbacks and then it's all quarterbacks. Yeah. Because you said golf is in there, right? Yes. So Gough LaPorte, Purdy Kittle. Yeah. Shuck Jowanson. And Mahomes is not far behind, by the way. Mahomes is number nine right now in fantasy. So.

So throw to your tight end. But like Cousins is up there too. Yeah. Let's go ahead and jump into another question here. Start sick question from Devin. Do I start Zay Flowers with no Lamar? Or do I start Matthew Golden? It's us. Ravens are Sunday night game. So we may have, we may have answers on Lamar. We probably will, but we might not. Oh, he's not going to play. The most recent report I saw was like he's not. The most recent thing I saw was that he's got an unconventional. I did see that. Yeah. What does it even mean?

It means it's not conventional. Yeah, it just seems pretty obvious. It's the opposite. I mean, the doctor looked at it. It was like, this is the weirdest ankle sprain I've ever seen. I haven't seen anything like this. Usually ankle sprains either go this way or that way, and this one is totally different. I mean, look at it be. It's like, you're a doctor. You have to have seen this. Whoa.

Whoa, buddy. Your ankle injury is in your knee. It's neither high nor low. Is it really? That's what Brooks just posted. It's a report from Rappaport. Okay. It's unconventional. The fact that he might be able to play, even if he doesn't, is a good sign for the long term. But I play Golden against Chicago. That should be a high scoring game. The Packers' defense is not getting it done. Atlanta's defense is getting it done. I mean, look at Atlanta. Atlanta should win that game.

Atlanta's looking a lot better. Let's see. I mean, they should win the division. I think I'm going to still stick with flowers. I think even if Snoop is there. You want to do a $100 bet on that one? Yeah. All right. Well, you're not going to want to hear this, Jay. Oh, wait, hold up. Oh, all right. No. No.

Let's see. My numbers that I'm seeing in the second half, Huntley through the completed eight of nine passes. Oh, that's fantastic. 63 yards. I'm showing flowers with a negative yard. You remember that they were up by a bunch and they'd like stop running them out there. Yeah, well, but he caught two passes for negative yard. And that's at least what I'm seeing. It'll be for a good bet. Yeah, it'll be fun. Would you trade George Pickens and Jalen Coker to get Chris Oliva? Yes, I would. Easily.
