Jason Moore and Mike Wright. Welcome in. We're happy to be with you this wonderful Monday, November 11th. It's Veterans Day. What's going on, veterans? We want to give a shout out to all of you who have served and sacrificed for this country. Thank you. We remember you today, Monday, November 11th, 2019.

Getting through week 10 here, Annie Mike and Jason back. There was some good, some bad, some ugly, which is ironically our three nicknames. Not going to say who's who. I call ugly. Well, that made that easy. Not the one I thought we'd be competing for. You know, I just wanted to get it right out of the way. Lots of craziness, as always, in the fantasy football landscape for week 10. We've got a Monday night football game this evening.

Very unlikely that George Kittle will be out there tonight, which really does affect my view of the outcome. And I, you know, Seattle's a great team. And George Kittles such an important weapon. So I'm curious to see what Jimmy G. Like I moved Jimmy G down in my rankings after this because he's got his best weapon missing. But you can follow us on Twitter at the FF.

Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers, the fantasy footballers.com. It's Monday. We hit the social media. We asked you for some one-liners from the weekend. Yes. A lot of stories about Cooper Cup situation. We've got Cup Cup, Goose. Oh, I like that one. The obvious one. Pooper Cup. Gooser Cup. Yes. And no coop for you. Oh, no coop for you. I like that one's a good one.

Lamar Jack Spin. What? Yeah, that's great. That spin move, Mike. I understand. That made the list. The Marvelous Jackson. There we go. That's fantastic. Oh, no. Oh, no. Sequin Yard-Clee. That's a real stretcheroo. I love it. Sequin Barfley. And then... Sequin Bartley. Yes, let's step back into our domain.

Ezekiel Smelliot. Oh, yeah, take that. Or, I can't even say that one. Extinkial. Oh, East Stinkiel, Elliot? Yes. Okay. Kyler. You weren't as sophisticated as I'm not clearly. Kyler Murier, Christian Berserk. All right. That's all right. I'm down with that. Mike Gross-Icky. Gross-Icky. Oh, let's do that.

If it's AJ Brown, flush it down. Or you could go AJ Clown, but I think we reserve that for A.B. Where's Waller? Fair. And lastly, Amari Super. He really is. The, yeah, you could talk about 11 receptions. You could talk about Amari Cooper for days because the difference they showed it last night on the broadcast of what.

Dak Prescott's numbers are across the board as well as the Cowboys record with and without Amari Cooper over the last two years. Like, we make the joke running backs don't matter sometimes. You know, you move guys in or out. Wide receivers matter. Oh, yes. Goodness gracious. And he hasn't been paid. That's because passing matters. Yeah, it does. It does. We had a water bet, Mike. Juju top 24. Yeah.

You lost. Jalen Ramsey won, that one. Did you hear Juju talk about it? They're like, you know, Jailen Ramsey came out and said, he's no, Antonio Brown. And then Juju's like, no, I'm not. He's like. Did Juju say scoreboard? Oh, yeah. No, he could have, but he came out and said, hey, I'm not as good as A.B. is yet, but I'm working on it and that Jalen had a good game. But let's get into the rewind. Weekly Rewind.

All right. Weekly Rewind brought to you by the Sleeper app. We did win in our Sleeper League again this week. We won in League one. Are we number one in the Sleeper League? One or two. I think we lost last week. I think we're like eight and two maybe. Not bad. Not bad. All right. We had some surprises. Big time surprises in the names Matthew Stafford and LaShawn McCoy. Matthew Stafford ruled out.

We didn't believe it. This was a situation where Matthew Stafford had played in 130 plus consecutive games, and they've talked about us back for two years. So you hear that during the week, and you say, okay, it was a maintenance day. It's like Saturday. Like where it's also on Saturday it was, oh, Stafford probably isn't going to play. Wait, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Well, I know we had heard about it. We talked about it on the show for a minute, but it was.

You know, it was like, oh, yeah, he popped up on the injury report with the back issue, but this was not abnormal for Matthew Stafford to be on the injury list with a back issue. But when he was ruled out, very surprising and surprising because I know he wanted to play. I think he would have played had he been cleared. Yes, he wanted to play with a broken back. And he's a tough guy. It's so funny. The handful of people.

you know, that comes to mind is Matthew Stafford and Frank Gore where when they started their career, they were such injury-prone labeled guys. They were just, oh my gosh, he'd be good except he can't stay on the field. And now they're like as solid as it gets. And ironically, I'm bringing this up while he missed the game. Yeah, it reminds me of Forte too. Forte you started his career. They thought he was banged up in. Marvin Jones, though, five for 77, Gallaudet, three for 57 and a touchdown. So those guys, they were probably stuck in your lineup and you didn't.

die at the hand of Jeff Driscoll. Oh, like many have. Like many have. In the list. Leshauncoy was a healthy scratch because, quote, the chiefs wanted to keep him fresh down the stretch. Well, that was a report from one person. Yeah. And that was a report that came after other reports talking about some other reasons that they might be benching him. I don't know. That seemed like a make good. Well, Damien Williams fumbled now. Yeah, that is true.

to kind of get himself out of the good graces. So now what? Well, he, yes, he did fumble. He had, and it was a, it was a pretty egregious fumble. It was, he tried to cut back and really make something happen that was not there, ends up giving up the defensive score. However, we're now in back-to-back weeks of 100 plus yards from scrimmage for Damien Williams, and he is the best running back on the team. Well, that might be true, Mike, but that doesn't always matter.

It did this game, but it's hard. I'm not going to read into snap counts on a game. They put the Sean McCoy in the bench either. Right. Well, it's a good game. 19 for 77. By far the most carries he's had, 4.1 to carry, five receptions, start worthy asset every week right now. My point is, if you have two running backs, one is, one looks great, he's crushing it for you, and the other one is not doing that. They both have a fumbling problem. You're going to go with the player who's better.

Even though they both have a chance to play. I would go with Pat Mahomes and just throw it all, every play. Yeah, all that said, they had Pat and they had the better running back and they lost. Yeah, that was kind of a crazy game. Devonta Freeman did not return to the Saints game, MRI today. Edo Smith got put on injured reserve before the game. Brian Hill will be a very popular name. And he's a good running back. He's much, much better than Edo Smith.

And so he's a must pick up to me. Tyler Boyd needed help off the field late in the game. Ankle injury. AJ Green's still out. They're going to reassess it though. Right. At the end of the year. Yeah, he's going to reassess. He's not going to be back, I don't think. Brutal. But if Tyler Boyd is out and AJ Green is out, and we've got Ryan Finley who looked like down and out by the end.

Alex Erickson, Aud and Tate are the writeouts. And yet Joe Mixen looked outstanding. What was that? You want to know what it was? Yes, I do. Something you could have done five weeks ago. Let me tell you what it was. It was 30 rushing attempts. 30. In a game, you lost 48 to, what, 13? Because they did that nice last field. Oh, no, no, no, no. Bill Callahan says they won. Oh, Bill Callahan, based on the rushing attempt. Yep. You win. What choice do you have, though?

with Ryan Finley. You got to give the ball to Joe Mixon. Two receptions, 30 carries. Third consecutive week, you were happy with him for fantasy. There's hope for you yet, Mixing owners. Yeah, maybe. Ty Johnson left the Lions game with a concussion. JD McKiss that got 10 carries in that game that led them. Jordan Wilkins, ankle injury didn't return. Trey Burton. Hurt again. Wow.

And then we've got Patrick Peterson left with the calf injury in the Bucks game. Wink, wink. What is that? He left with the playing badisitis. I doubt that. I would think he left with an injury based on, I think he wants to play football. Marshall and Lattimore failed to return for the Saints as well. And then it kind of got lost over the weekend, but the Bears did release Mike Davis.

and it was based on them getting a compensatory pick if they released him at that time, whatever the case may be, if someone signs him. And so it is Montgomery. And then you saw increased usage for Cohen, it seemed like, in this game. You never know what it's going to do. Josh Gordon's a game time decision tonight. George Kittles doubtful. As far as Josh Gordon goes, is it, I mean, full hands off tonight? I'm not playing him. Yeah, nobody, you can't be starting.

Josh Gordon. I think the issue is if Josh Gordon is there, what does he do to the other receivers that you might be starting? Does he impact DK Metcalf? Does he impact Tyler Lockett in any way? But, you know, he might not even play. All right, let's get into the studs. This week's fantasy stud muffins. All right, where do you begin? How about Lamar Jackson? Oh, good. Perfect passer rating, man. And then he can run it too.

He can run it pretty well. That run was incredible. With the Jackspin? Yeah, Lamar Jacksonman. He had six defenders that they showed on that play missed opportunities to tackle him. That's only because the other five weren't close enough. Right. Otherwise, he could, he could, he could, he's the type of player that could get 11 guys. Yes, the second most fantasy points, uh, through the first 16 games to start his career, only behind Mahomes.

Jackson has been just a league winner type of player. Mahomes came back, went 36 for 50, for 446 and 3, including a jump pass that was unbelievable. Is that the McCull-Hardman touchdown? Yeah. McCle-Hardman is a guy that you can start every week, but you're going to hate it. If Mahomes is there. Yes, and you only get, what, two passes, two chances every game.

McCall Hardman reminds me of the drag racer cars, you know, the ones that you sit at the end and you press the button and then they go 5 million miles an hour. He just looks like he pushes the button and takes off. Daniel Jones, four touchdowns. He's had some monster games. Kyler Murray, Jason, big game. There we go. Look, Kyler Murray, I mean, you know, you would hope that when you face a team like Tampa that is very...

beatable against the pass that he could step up and prove worthy of that. He did, which is a good sign for future matchups, streaming plays, confidence. And it was nice because he had Christian Kirkback, who obviously will talk about when we get to wide receivers because he was awesome. And it was nice to see Andy Isabella out there as well, the second round rookie who has lightning speed. He caught a couple of balls. And every time he caught the ball, it was like, oh, I can get an extra 10, 12 yards here because I'm faster than you. You ever seen Patrick Mahomes?
