Oh, the Redskins are one-point favorites at home, a 41.5 point over-under. I pumped the brakes on Dak Prescott and Cole Beasley after the nice performance last week. And the over-under in this game gives me even more reason to just cool down on this. You know, they're going on the road. The Redskins are favored. Dax money was made on the ground. So if he doesn't run for a...

41:14 ↗

you know, a number of yards. He's got hit about 50. You've got a problem. So I would hesitate to start DAC. This has a low. Or any past catchers. So it's all Zeke for me. This has a low over under. Vegas is not expecting a lot of points. And they've set the line way too high. There's just going to be nothing going on in this game. That's my, you've got injured receiving core galore.

41:38 ↗

for Washington. You've got the cowboys who don't want to be a high-powered offense. They want to be a Zeke-led slow-you-down offense. I agree. I mean, I would start Ezekiel Elliott, obviously, and I don't think there's another must start. Jordan Reed, I'd be willing to, but he's not a must start. Adrian Peterson? What about Peterson? Oh, he's not a must start to me. I know he had a fine game last week, but...

42:06 ↗

Dallas has been very good game against Carolina. 17 for 97, 5.7. Chris Thompson's banged up. I would start him over any of those previous kind of timeshare names that we brought up. Yeah. As in the Edo Smiths. Eto, Peyton Barber, those guys. Yeah, I mean, but I don't think, I don't see him as a must start. People with good rosters who have, you know, a couple of solid options. I, maybe I'm just.

42:30 ↗

Not as high on Adrian Peterson in general, believing that he could do it in back-to-back weeks. He's been very up and down. Yes. He is unlikely he'll be game-scripted out of this one. He is, in fact, literally up, then down. 96, 20. He needs a week off between each game. So, I don't know. Maybe he'll be careful. All right. The 6 and 0 Rams take on the 1 in 549ers. The 49ers are home point underdogs.

42:55 ↗

to the tune of nine and a half, nine and a half points, 52 point over under. None of that surprises me. This is not an almost upset to me. C.J. Bethard is not going to be able to withstand the defensive line of Los Angeles. I don't expect, I don't expect it to be.

43:16 ↗

a highly competitive game. Mike is looking at me like he, he's expecting some Bethard magic. Yeah, Bethard's thrown for at least 245 and 2 and all of his three starts. He's averaging about 25 rushing yards and the Rams defense since Akieb to leave went down. You can, you can score on them. That's, that's what I'll say. And, and Bethard comp, or matched up with Marquis great win. It's, it's a recipe for fantasy.

43:45 ↗

Some success. Some mild success. This is kind of a struggle there. Because I don't want people to get super hyped and really excited for C.J. Bethard. I believe this game will be closer than the nine and a half point. There's garbage time to be had in this game. George Kittle, Marquis Goodwin, Matt Brita. Okay. Now, there was a comment. Kyle Shanahan said the decision to use Mr. Rahim Mostert.

44:10 ↗

rather than Alfred Morris, which was one of the more frustrating fantasy surprises of last week. It was not necessarily a permanent move, so that's helpful. Cool. That was from the San Jose Mercury. All that means is, you're not touching them anyway. Yeah, all that means is you cannot have the confidence based on last week alone to start Colonel Mustard. You can, so you can't start Alfred Morris, you can't start Colonel Mustard, but you can start Matt Breed.

44:35 ↗

So Matt Perida, and I agree with you. There will be garbage time to be had with George Kittle and Chris. Chris, I was going to go Chris Greatwin. Oh, Marquis, Great win. I'm fine with them. CJ Bethard is a two-quarterback only deep shot. Start every ram imaginable. Start, yeah, start them all. I love Robert Woods, especially this week. He's just going to soak up targets in this office. Todd goes great. Handy.

45:04 ↗

Jared Gough, yeah. You want a Josh Reynolds Gerald Everett water bet? Do I want a Josh Reynolds Gerald Everett water bet? What is the bet? That Josh Reynolds outperforms Gerald Everett. I will make you a total receptions bet. Yes. Waterbed. I did it. Yeah. It's my most proud moment.

45:26 ↗

What a loss last week, but I guess you want the full rep count for Mr. Josh Reynolds, your best friend. What else is going on in this game? Not much. I mean, Jared Goff started the week for Jason. He's our consensus QB3 this week. You put him back out there. Last week, he played well, just didn't end up a fantasy dominant force. It happens when Gurley scores three times and has...

45:50 ↗

208 rushing yards. And then George Kittle, I want to give people the pat on the butt again. Look, he's averaging 11.4 yards after the catch. That's the most among the tight ends in the league. He has an opportunity this week. I'm definitely firmly starting him each and every week right now. Agreed. Sunday night football. The four and two Bengals take on the five and one chiefs. Another exciting game. The Bengals have been playing well just lost last week.

46:16 ↗

on the comeback big bin end of game play that was what was the controversy in that game over that play i don't think there was a because there was a lot of talk on a penalty i think there was an uncalled hold um or a or maybe it was a screen block that allowed antonio brown to get free because brown was wide open just to to gallop into the end zone but uh as an ntonio brown owner in multiple leagues yeah i say thank you how's mark waltonberger doing

46:44 ↗

Well, all the burger? Hey, is that a burger? You think I could get some ketchup on that? Maybe some Rahim mustard? Oh, hey, say how to your mother for me? Say how to your mustard for me? Say, oh, I missed it. I missed it. You had it. Foot Clan, I apologize. Said hi to your monster for me. So how do you must have for me? Mark Walton Burger. Whoops.

47:11 ↗

Well, we had some requests, some listener requests to bring him back and apparently also add a few layers of cheese. Oh, I must have been just talking to Rothesberger. That's probably why that came out. Hey, Watton Boger. What's happening? It's falling apart. Don't start Mark Walton. Do start Joe Mixing. How about CJ? Usama Lama ding-dong. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Hey.

47:40 ↗

Hey, CJ. So, I love you guys. Tyler Boyd, put him out there. AJ Green, you're starting him. Joe Mixing, he's a must start every week. He's a streamable. He's my start of the week. Great start this week. Great start. The chiefs are giving up the, uh, the rank 30 against the fantasy tight end. That's tough math for you, right? You wanted to say the third. I wanted to say 30th, but it just didn't sound. Andy Dalton. Love him.

48:08 ↗

Love him. Does anybody you don't, let's start, let's do the inverse here. This is the, anybody you don't like in this matchup. I mean, the Chiefs are on fire right now as an offense. The game is a 58 and a half point over under. I don't think that. I'll take the over. I don't think Sammy Watkins is a must start type of player. I mean, you saw last week. They put up 40 points he had two for 18. He's, he's fine to play. I'm not saying sit Sammy Watkins. He's the only guy here, though, that he could.

48:37 ↗

Gives you pause? Yeah, he gives me pause. Other than that, I mean, Boyd, Green, Mix, and Dalton, Hunt, tight-ins galore. This is just start every... It's a 58.5 point over-under that's clearly going to hit the over, in my opinion. Well, that's the real only question. Is there a way that this game doesn't play out the way that people want it to or expect it to? No. Okay.

49:02 ↗

I just, I would be really, really surprised. Walton Burger is doing well. I believe last week I was 82% on the over unders. Oh, really? Settled down over there. It was pretty good. How'd you do on the spread? Very, very well. Oh, did you? Yeah. You had a good week overall? I did. All right. Monday night football, the one in five giants, the two and four Falcons, the Falcons are four point home favorites, 54 point over under. What are we, uh, what are we looking for in this matchup?

49:31 ↗

You saw the great primetime performance by Sequin last week. He's obviously out there. But what are the big storylines? This is one that actually has given me a little bit of pause this week because they have a 54 point over under, huge, huge line because the Falcons defense has not been good. Everybody's been able to score on the Falcons. Real, real bad. The reason I have.

49:56 ↗

Pause is because while everyone has scored on the Falcons, the Giants' offense has been putrid. So, look, it just because something's got to give. The Falcons are at home, and if you look at who they've matched up against, right? Tampa Bay's offense last week, they've got so many weapons, the Steelers.

50:21 ↗

The Bengals, the Saints. I mean, they have been going up against great offenses, and yes, they have not been able to stop them because their defense is depleted. But I think their defense is good enough to handle the Giants. So that scares me a little bit from a just start all your falcons standpoint. I think they're going to be good. Matt Ryan, I love this week. He's at home against a bad defense. But I don't think you're going to end up in the situation, which you've had all year, where it's back and forth.

50:51 ↗

Matt Ryan scores, then gets scored on. So Matt Ryan scores, then gets scored on. That's my worry with this game. Now, you can say the hope is that finally the Giants have a great offensive outpouring in Odell Beckham and start them up because the Falcons can't stop. And where do you guys stand on that question? Yeah, I mean, look, endless optimism doesn't get you anywhere in fantasy football. So if you keep projecting the past on the future, that can get you into trouble. And that's, you know, that's what.

51:21 ↗

Cardinal fans were probably wanting to do with Larry Fitzgerald, David Johnson, hasn't panned out. So we saw a case study in anemic offense is staying that way through week seven. Look, Evan Ingram coming back is a boon to the offense. It helps a pretty big deal. It helps a lot. And you can take a squeaky wheel gets the...

51:47 ↗

Grease gets the grease approach to O'Dell Beckham and everything that's been happening. I do agree with you in so much as I think the Falcons cover the spread. I mean, so whatever that equates to, whether that means there's garbage time to be had or not, look, it's not going to be a, it's not a Falcon Saints matchup. Right. So, yeah, this is, this is, I mean, I guess I'm still going to start most of my Falcons. So I am going to lower my expectations. You've got, you've got Mosano, or you have Calvin Ridley.

52:17 ↗

And you're hoping to start both of them. Would you pick up Justin Hardy and wait on Muhammad Sunu and then just plug Justin Hardy in if Sunu is to miss the game? No, I don't think so. I don't think I would. I just don't believe he's good enough. And like I said, I don't think they're going to have to air it out quite the same. Seven targets last week with all the injuries to the wide receiver core.

52:44 ↗

Right. Yeah. I mean, I'm not saying that they... But they had to air it out. Right. I don't think they're going to have to air it out this week. You guys are starting Edo and Tevin? Yeah. For sure. Edo is... As needed. Yeah, running back three. I mean, he's going to play about half the snaps. He should continue to see goal on work as they've been using him. I'd be willing to start both guys, yeah. All right. Well... You start O'Dell Beckham. What about Sterling Shepard? I think that's the only real questionable...

53:15 ↗

player. I think with Ingram coming back, I have pause. That's exactly my stance. Yeah, I completely agree. Okay. No other storylines from that game. Nope. All right. A daily dose. Brought to you by draft. I guess it would be wise to let people know that we have a Sequin Barkley signed jersey available right now. A new giveaway at footclan giveaway.com. So if you want to enter to win it,

53:47 ↗

Sequin is a bright, bright spot for that giant's team now into the future. So go. Such an awesome jersey. Go get it at footcline giveaway.com right now. And congrats to the winners of the previous. Corey Davis, Jersey, as well as a, what, championship belt, Brooks? Yeah. Do you got those winners, their first names somewhere? Maybe. Maybe. Thomas and Nolan.
