Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast. I'm Andy Holloway. Join by Jason Moore. Hello. Mike Wright. This is the place where your dreams come true. You know, my dreams have not been coming true today. I'll tell you that. I have had a hot wings and chocolate cake kind of morning. Uh-oh. Oh, you're paying the iron price? Yeah, yeah. Was that what you fell into after the Dion Lewis News broke?

I feel like my team's name should be Hot Wings and Chocolate Cake. Because it looked like, it looked like Hot Wings and Chocolate Cake looks. But then you wake up in the morning. You wake up in the morning and Dionne Lewis is on IR. Ariam Foster's on IR. And now you're sitting there and you're sitting there and you're going, because I had some time to myself this morning. Okay. And I'm sitting there going, all right, do I want to play?

Marvin Jones or Kamar Aiken or Nate Washington or sign theoretic. These are real problems, man. These are the problems that the people have out there. And just to make matters worse, I have to take Lewis out of my flex and then Julio's on by. So I got to start two of them. Very nice. Yeah, very nice. Kamar Aiken. You guys got any hot tips for me on Kamar Aiken? Is he a superstar in hiding? Well, lucky for you.

Kamar Egan plays the Jacksonville Jaguars today, or not today, this week, this week. All right, well, we've got a show that will not simply focus on hot wings and chocolate cake, thank goodness, because if I think about that again, I'll be... That's tomorrow. You guys will be hosting. We've got the news and notes for today. We'll get you caught up on the injury news. You heard us say, Dionne-L-L-out for the season. We got our waiver-wire show today, so we are going to deal with the tough questions like that.

like those so uh and we're going to do our streamers our full stream ahead section today we'll tell you a quarterbacks we like in week number 10 now are we in week 10 we are double digits what all right well if you want to get a hold of the show check us out on twitter at the ffballers you can visit us on youtube we're on the fantasy sports network the website is the fantasy footballers dot com and we are on patreon at join the foot dot com and uh let me ask you a quick question guys

With 17 plus fantasy points in five consecutive weeks, Jake Cutler has been doing it and doing it very consistently. Is he in every week start? I thought you were going to start quoting L.L. Cool, Jay, I was waiting. He's been doing it and doing it well. Jake Cuddy, bubbles. I've thought about this. Maybe we should start calling him bubbles. Bubbles. His personality is so sparkling and light.

Jake Cutler, man, he's getting it done, like you said, the five weeks in a row of giving you very solid quarterback production. Unfortunately, the next two weeks for Jay Cutler, Jay Bubbies, is St. Louis and then Denver, which are not the best matchups in the world. However, so let's say you bypass him on those next two weeks. His fantasy playoff schedule is delicious, is hot wings and chocolate cakes. Okay.

Wait, for a Cutler, that makes sense because then he would throw an interception. It's very good. It looks good. I have it on good authority that Jay Cutler, under the bleachers, broke off his friendship with Matthew Stafford. And so those two have gone their separate ways, and Jay Cutler said, hey, I'm going to try to play good at quarterback. And I'm going to stay calm in the pocket.

And I'm not going to force the issue too much. Throw it to the tall guy who wears number 17? Yeah, they used to have a competition of who can sling it more. Who can throw it farther every game. And now he said, I got to go play football now. Real football. What's funny is he actually reminds me of Matthew Stafford from a couple years ago because he's got one target.

to rule them all. Well, the one target, really, I mean, as soon as Varet went down for San Diego, that's when it was just the All You Can Eat buffet was open for Alshon Jeffrey. And that touchdown pass to Zach Miller, that ball was going at least 85 miles per hour, at least. You timed it. It almost went back in time.

It wasn't quite there. No. All right. So, Jay Cutler is, if you're a streaming, yeah, if you're a streaming guy and you need to set up for the playoffs, he's an option for you, right? Yeah, so his playoff schedule, week 14, home against Washington, week 15 on the road against Minnesota, week 16 on the road against Tampa Bay. So, I mean, it's hard to beat that. I agree. I agree. And you were making the point that, you know, they're still kind of, they're three and five, they're in the mix.

where they're not completely out of... Small room for... Small margin for error. And this was... We were having a discussion about Langford... Langford, who was fantastic of what do we think the Bears are going to do moving forward if Forte was to come back in... Not next week, but the following. And I think Forte slides right back in. I think Langford completely becomes a backup again as long as they're still winning. If they start losing...

They might try and see what they have in Langford, but it's hard to know. All right, before we get into the news and notes, we like to take a second every week and go ahead and read a review from the listeners. We appreciate your reviews on iTunes, on Stitcher, on Stitcher, on wherever you're listening. And so we're going to go ahead and read one of those now. That was not a normal sentence. The thought was not completed. The thought was not completed, but the button was pushed. Go ahead, Jason. This one comes in from Jur-F-K. That's Jerfk.

uh this is says is it's the best he writes do you want to win in life do you play fantasy football do you like it when your friends are scrambling putting together uneducated lineups and futile attempts to beat you yes if you answered yes to any of the above then you better listen to this podcast every single day then

Get ready to run through the air towards your fantasy football championship. That's right. I guarantee you will be unstoppable after absorbing the pearls of wisdom that these guys drop. It's a promise. Also shout out to Chris Maney from the Daily Dose on Fridays. He's helped me cash in daily. Boom. Dollars. Guarantees are not actually 100% guaranteed. Thank you for the final disclaimer. Yeah, there you go.

Thank you very much for the review. That one comes in from Canada as well. Oh, bonjour. Let's get into the news. I'm going to try to do every intro as though it's a mid-sentence. Before we get into the news and notes and... News and notes from around the league. Before we get to the news, we have to talk about what happened at the beginning of last night's game. The Kadim Carrey? John Fox. No, I've seen this before. I expected it.

But, okay, expecting one thing and something being stupid are two completely separate issues. I agree with you. Kadeem Kerry has been a healthy scratch for about four weeks in a row. And then you start the game with him? What are you doing? Kadeem Karee is a veteran, Mike. Yeah. He deserves a first shot as long as he's not an inactive scratch. Then we saw him in on the Blitz pickup. Whoops! J. Cutler stripsacked.

It's just, what are you doing, man? Yeah, it was ridiculous. It was almost as though John Fox is following people on Twitter and realizing that he could just set people ablaze. Trolling people is all he was doing. Check this out, guys. Full tilt on Twitter, if you were on, it was very enjoyable. Well, Langford panned out. Yeah, you did. I just, come on, man. And he panned out in the receiving game. That layout catch? Beautiful. My goodness.

All right, news and notes. Let's talk about it. Dionne Lewis, out with the torn left ACL, done for the season. What would you do if you were me, guys? And that was a ridiculous sound effect. Thank you. That was the sound of his knee popping. What would I do if I were you? I'm not happy with you. Let me put it that way. If I were you, Andy, I would phone it in and play for next year. In that specific league, that's what I would do. How about if you were somebody who had Dionne Lewis and you were looking for the Patriot solution?

I still think it's James White. We saw Brandon Bolden come in, and that's because White was a scratch, and that's because White does not play on special teams, like Brandon Bolden does. Brandon Bolden is a Swiss Army knife of a player who can kind of do everything. But I'm going to go back to the game where they had time to plan and prepare for no Dionne Lewis, and it was the James White show. It was Danny Ann Mendoza show as well. Yes, but if you're looking for a running back slot.

Unfortunately, we cannot put Amadola in the running back position yet. So we might want to move Tavon Austin there. Yeah, he got enough carries. Six carries for Austin this week. All right. Teddy Bridgewater. The Vikings expect him to be cleared for Sunday's game against the Raiders, which would be great news for Stefan Diggs.

In other concussion news, too, I wanted to let people know, Latavius Murray is trending in the right direction, not the wrong one. We don't know if he'll be active or not, but he was through some of the concussion protocol. So if you're counting on Latavius Murray, I'm expecting him to be back. But we'll see. It's early. Did he miss a game last year after that concussion? Yes, he did. Yeah. Ryan Fitzpatrick could have surgery on Friday. Now, this is where the Thursday night game actually really...

benefits the Jets because he gets to play and have an extended recovery. And they're not planning on him missing any games. Are they, Jay? No, no, this was an expected move. We knew this last week that the Friday after this game was when they were going to have the surgery, give him the most time to recover. And he should be able to play through that even with the surgically repaired left hand.

All right, Nick Mangold re-injured his neck. He's optimistic. He'll play on Thursday. I don't know how he could be, considering he missed time with this injury before and now he was a short week. How do I counter jinx Nick Mangold into playing so that Chris Ivory can do well? What's the trick? I think the only trick is that you sit Chris Ivory on your bench. Once again, not going to do that. Not going to do that. I am five and four, by the way, in the league that I was won and four in. I'm five and four, and I'm coming for Jason.

I'm waiting. I'll be waiting atop. Yeah, I'll make my move in the playoffs. Bill's coach Rex Ryan considers LaShawn McCoy day today. Do we expect him to play on Thursday? NFL networks Albert Breer. I'm having a very difficult time speaking today. Right, yeah. Today? Yeah, just today, only today. Breer reports Shady McCoy is dealing with a shoulder strain.

Just a shoulder strain. So you have to monitor his practice situation. They have the Thursday night game, really only one practice. So if he cannot practice, that's probably not a good sign for Thursday. And check this out. I got an interesting stat that I saw this morning. Alan Robinson and Alan Hurons, the Allen Twins. First teammates to gain 600 receiving yards and score six touchdowns each in the first eight games of this season since 2007.
