Week 2 Studs & Duds + Big Ben & Brees Injury Fallout

for what a wide receiver should be playing. They force fed him the ball. Why is this? Okay, we're trying to get a, like, prove that we made the right decision by signing Antonio Brown. Are they just trying to get him acclimated to the system?

And meanwhile, they boat race Miami. They didn't have to do anything. By the way. So it's hard to really know what to tell. Brooks chose to put Mike Evans into the stinkers instead of Sonny Michelle into the stud muffins. But Sonny Michelle, 21 carries in this game, 85 yards and a touchdown. It's nice. If you're a Sonny Michelle owner, you had to be able to start in this game and get production or you were going to, it was going to be desperate time. So at least status quo with him. And he had a lot more work than Burkhead did and did a lot with it, thankfully. So I'm optimistic about his future.

Watkins. Now Watkins was 6 for 49. He had 13 targets. It just didn't happen. I don't remember 13 targets going his way. That makes it feel more like a stinker. Yeah, I would say so. Six for 49 is not bad, but you expect more when you get 13 Mahomes targets. It's pretty nice the fact that he got 13 targets, though. That's a lot. Like if you're concerned about Sammy Watkins, just look at that 13 targets from Pat Mahomes and know.

You're fine. The Lizard King catching six of 13 targets, that that's not the normal. But you know who you do need to be concerned with. Who's that? You got to drop Didi. You're boo-boo do-boo do-do. You got to drop Didi Westbrook. His future took a... It was blown up when Nick Foles left. Yeah, Nick Foles left. And then here are some other players. Honorable mentions at wide receiver. And let me know if you're cutting them. NVS was 3 for 19 against Minnesota. Not cutting him? No, I wouldn't cut him, but...

If, you know, he's still a good depth. Unfortunately, I don't know if you're going to be able to predict the non-Divante Adams wide receiver production in Green Bay. You know, there's not a, there's not a second guy that's willing to stand up and be that guy on the course of every single week. Yeah, I agree. And Footland, if you're listening, I'm going to say whether I would or wouldn't, but I would always cut a. But, Glenn, if you're listening to my podcast right now, which means you are listening.

That's fair point. It's fair. Did you say if you're listening? Yes, he did. Hey, maybe they're, and if they weren't, we'll never know. Maybe that makes them perk up because they're in the middle of like a project or something. Well, then you would say, hey, listen up. Wait, are you listening to me? If you're listening. Even if you're watching on YouTube, you're still listening. You will hear these words, which are any questionable wide receivers that are, do you keep you cut?

I'm always willing to move on from when waivers come. Sure. And it's like, okay, I said I wouldn't cut MBS. I'd rather hold them. But if you have got team needs, especially at running back, then absolutely, I'd move on. All six of these names are cuts for me. I'll preface it. They're all cuts. Dante Moncrief, Dante Pettis, Danny Mendoza, Cory Davis, Cortland Sutton. Five of those six are cuts for me. I don't know which one you'd never have been on my roster. Okay. All right. So tight-ins.

Let's talk about him. Oh, wait, wait. I'm sorry. I don't think I would cut Cortland Sutton. I would not cut him either. I would definitely cut him. If you're going to hold on to Marquoise, I think you should hold on to Cortland. That's fine. I don't mind that. The youth of Corlin Sutton and the unknown, but Emmanuel Sanders is by far the number one. So then do you want Joe Flack as number two-ish target? I don't. All right, tight-ins. T. J. Hawkinson.

Uh-oh. One for seven on three targets. Where are the Hawkinson? I mean, we said this. Even when I said he was my number one waiver claim, I said, this is a really bad matchup for him this week. Don't expect for him to have a great week, too. I still think his utilization of snap counts. He should be okay. The hard part about the tight-in position is that you have a category of a few must-start players, right?

I would say that right now the must start tight ends are Travis Kelsey, Zachards, George Kittle, Evan Engram. Sure. But O.J. Howard is not in that category. He goose this week. I would say Mark Andrews is. Mark Andrews is now in that category. Yeah, agree. And I feel like the Walleris might be in that category. I would say he's in that category too, yes. He feels very safe at this point. Yes, he is because he lives near the line of scrimmage. He lives on the pier. Yeah.

We're close to shore? Yes. Yeah, I get it. And I agree with you, and that makes them safe. But there are a number of players that, look, if you spent up, here's the situation for fantasy owners. You spent up on Hawkinson last week to take the shot at a top-tier tight-in. I would say you're probably pot committed for a few weeks with T.J. Hawkinson. Are you not? You can't just take a one-for-seven after you spent fab on him and then chase the next guy that had a half-decent week. Yeah, I agree. The tight-in position, you're going to have these games.

I'm not moving on. My son is playing his first fantasy league ever. He actually won this week. He's very, very happy. He has Patrick Mahomes. And his tight end. He's going to win more. His tight end is O.J. Howard, right? Oh, man. So he decided, and he, so he got the goose on Thursday. He says, I'm going to pick somebody up. And so he drops Anthony Miller. It's an open waiver before the weekend. Drops Anthony Miller. You know he picked up for next week? Jimmy Graham.

Jimmy Graham also goose. Oh, that's a tough lesson. You don't want to, now he didn't play Jimmy Graham. Right. But, and now he's, now he's like dropping Jimmy Graham to get Greg Olson, which is smart. But that's what can happen. You can be like, oh my gosh, I've got to move on. And then go get Jimmy Graham and get the same goose out of him. You got it at O.J. Howard. You're chasing the dragon. Yes. But O.J. Howard, what the heck mean? I will play O.J. Howard.

next week. Bruce Ariens. If I don't have a better option. Did you hear Bruce Aryan's words on OJ Howard? I did. He said, be better. Yeah. Get better. Delaney Walker, disappointing. Yes, very disappointing. Very disappointing. But again, tight ends. Very fun. Very fun position to not have one of the best guys. But that'll do it for stinkers of the week. Presented by odor eaters, odor eaters. The best defense in odor defense. The best. Did I say the best defense?

Yes, you did. Odor eaters the best in odor defense. If you're listening out there, odor eaters the best in odor defense. Look, sometimes the stink is so bad, you might as well double up on that defense. Okay? And that'll do it for today's show. We want to thank the studio sponsor, Pristine Auction. Yesterday, someone snagged a Travis Kelsey signed Chiefs logo football for $84. Nice.

I'm surprised Kelsey didn't snag it, those mitts, but somebody got it on the cheap, hundreds of daily auctions, pristine auction.com, use the registration code, ballers. Ballers. How are you guys doing through the weekend? We took care of League 1 again. Yes, so most of my teams took a kind of a, how do you say, a dumpski? Big, big, smilly dumpski over the weekend, except for NFL League 1, where we.

Back to back. Back to back high score of the expert division. We will be sending them another piece of merchandise. Yeah, it's getting expensive for us. All the stuff we have to say. It is. I mean, really annoying at this point. How'd you do in Dynasty, Andy? Oh! I smoked Brooks. He sure did. I smoked Brooks. He wasn't trolling me. He got whooped. Oh, Brooks. Goodbye, everybody. The most Brooks thing ever. Goodbye. Thank you for listening to another episode of the Fantasy Footballers podcast.
