Fantasy Football Podcast 2016 - Wk 6 Studs, Duds, Rising Stars, Updates

You throw in for a cajillion yards, and it didn't work out in Mark Ingram's favor. He's still got 16 carries and two catches combined 60 yards. You're not happy with him, but he didn't, like, completely crap your team. It's one of the tough things about the Saints is because you have, think about in your mind what you consider there to be fantasy options. You have cooks, Sneed, Fleener, Michael Thomas. I love Michael Keat. Mark Ingram. I mean, you even have Tavares cadet in the passing game.

You have all these different options, and it doesn't work out for all of them every week. It can't. Can't. So this was a week where Ingram didn't crap your team, but he didn't help you. I mean, maybe he did, because he's in the poop segment. Eddie Lacey, 17 for 65. He looked really good for most of the game, but he's still battling that A. Has he scored this year? I do not think he has a touchdown. I'm going to go out on a limb and say I think he has zero touchdown. I'm going to vet that one.

I feel like he has one. Eddie Lacey? Yeah. I think he might be right there. I think he has no touchdowns on the ground. That'll make it tough. That will change. I mean, look, he's getting enough carries every week. People said the same thing about Lamar Miller. If you're getting 16, 17, 18 carries a game, and you're the only running back there, you're not going to go touchdownless. It's just not going to happen. Yeah. I mean, I don't look at Lamar and Lacey the same because.

Lacey's touches have not been there. Yeah. So, I mean, they have been improving. With Starks having knee surgery, I think Lacey is a guy I would buy right now. Even with the injury? Yeah. I mean, I'm going to get a great value on Lacey. All right. Captain 11 snap. Ryan Matthews, nine for 60. He got 11 snaps. He was outtouched by Wendell Smallwood by one.

and he either out touched small wood by one or small wood out touched him by one. I know that for a fact. And then by far the leader in snaps was Darren Sproul's. Yeah. And the reason why is because if you watch that game, Washington hopped out to the two score lead in the blink of an eye. And so now they were behind and they were passing. That was Darren Sproul's game. He got involved. Right. Matthews still ran well. I mean, he got nine carries for 60 yards. That's six.

0.66 yards of carry. But he got game flowed out. And what that says is important to understand. He can get game flowed out. His upcoming schedule isn't necessarily the best. So if you can get value for him, I was saying last week to trade him. Yeah, he plays Minnesota, Dallas and the Giants on the season. The last four games, nine attempts, two attempts, 11 attempts, nine attempts. I'm out. I'm O-U-T. I was out before the season, but I'm...

And then the only game he succeeded in? Cleveland. It was Cleveland at home. He saved his second game. The 9th and 32 games. Last week was still pretty good. Last week he had a great game. Last week was good. Because he was involved in the passing game. I will say this. I do not blame you at all. But I think this is, it's red alert for Ryan Matthews for sure. But the Eagles offense as a whole, the last two weeks has been really bad. The only reason they were in this game.

It's because Wendell Small would ran a punt back and then they had to pick six. That's why they were in the game. We are running out of time on the show today. So what I'm going to do here with some of these remaining poop candidates is I'm going to give you their names. And I just want to know if you consider it an outlier bad week or something to be concerned about. So just tell me if you're concerned or not. Carlos Hyde. Outlier. Yeah, not concerned. Isaiah Crowell. Concern. Growing concern. Jeremy Hill.

This is what he is. Rashad Jennings. Outlier, not worried at all. Yeah. This is a good run D. He's back from injury. Yeah. So you're buying Rashid Jennings? Yes. I just bought Rashad Jennings. Antonio Brown. We're moving over to the wide receivers. Antonio Brown? Hey, people need to know. I will say this real quick. People are worried because of the Big Ben thing and saying, should I trade him? Should I trade him? Because without Big Ben, he's not.

He is not the same, fantasy-wise. But Big Ben should only miss a couple weeks. I'm a little bit worried about Antonio Brown. Whether or not you should trade him is this. You can trade him, but you better be getting a David Johnson, a Julio Jones. There's like three or four guys. Here's who trades. The team that trades Antonio Brown is the team that needs to win in the next two weeks. Like to save your season because one Landre Jones and one buy week. So if you can flip him for a guy post-buy,

Or, you know, you got to get a haul for Antonio Brown. But that's the person that I would categorize. Look, Will Fuller and Sammy Coats were both active and both did nothing. Yeah. Yeah, it was rough for Coates. I mean, we weren't sure if he was going to be active. And then he was a surprise active. And then they scaled him way back and the entire Pittsburgh offense was bad. Hypothetically, if you were somebody that went out and spent money on Fab.

for Sammy Coates last week, you can't be liking your decision because you have... With Big Ben out? Well, yeah, I'm just saying you had this week the injury. You didn't get to play him. And if you did, you were burned. Which a lot of people did, by the way. People played him because they saw him running out of the tunnel and the tweets were going out there. Yeah. So people played him. Then you've got... You still have the injury. You have Landry Jones and you have a buy week. Now you have to hold the guy you spent a bunch of fab money on. Yeah, it's not... I can agree with that. Not a great situation. Crabtree.

Not worried at all that. That was a hurricane. Demarius Thomas and Emmanuel Sanders. Man, those guys crapped my rankings. I'm just saying I feel good about my rankings this week except the Broncos receivers on you. I'm not too worried, though, going forward. I think Trevor Simeon, he only had four days to get ready. He was still dealing with the left shoulder injury. I would say he had two weeks to get ready. He was not practicing for the previous. Right, but they had talked about it.

He had four practices. He had four practices to get ready. I think we can all agree on that. Also under the spotlights, hadn't been out there like that quite as much. We'll see. Doug Baldwin. I'm just saying the Broncos the last couple weeks, their offense, maybe people are figuring some things out. I'm not worried about Doug Baldwin at all. If you are, train him to me. Let's talk after the show. Julian Edelman. I don't know, man. Hasn't done it. Two weeks in a row. Can't win with him.

Yeah. Can't play with them. We've had two weeks of Brady. And I don't know. I don't know what to think of Edelman right now because last week you had Hogan and Martellis Bennett where everything. And this week it was Gronk. And Julian Edelman. And James White. Right. And the James White touchdowns you thought, okay, well, maybe this is going to Edelman. I'm a hold for now. Do you know, I think Edelman might be more effective in those actual competitive games. Yeah, I agree. Where they need a catch.

I don't know. Alan Robinson. No worry. I want to know about Alan Robinson. I have a little worried. Look, he beats up on, you know, and you just said that the Bears are a tough passing defense. They are. I'm not concerned about it. But why did he disappear? These things happen. Yeah, we know that. I'm not crazy concerned. The one thing I would say, I believe they've got a terrible playoff schedule. And so for a guy like that that's going to give you boom games, going to give you crap games, and not going to.

be there to really come through this year in the playoffs like last year his playoff schedule was amazing all right uh t y hilton and jeremy macklin any concern for either of those guys t y hilton still had nine targets macklin was in the rain they were up they ran the ball like crazy macklin that's no concern for what i think of macklin sure yeah all right real quick through the tight ends delaney walker what happened seriously man seriously

Come on. The Cleveland Browns, I'll tell you what happened is Kendall Wright took a couple of the entire offensive, early offensive drives. Drives away from anyone else because he just ran touchdowns in from across the field and then they ran the ball. But it stinks. Delaney Walker, not worried moving forward, but he crapped. I'm more worried about Zach Ertz moving forward. Zach Ertz. Very worried. Ouch. All right. Julius Thomas. He's whatever. He's in the barfie tight ends. Travis Kelsey.

Not worried going for it. Again, that was a complete hurricane game. This is Kelsey, though. This is what we get from Kelsey. You're going to get these three for 32s every now and then because that's what their office does. We're going to get into more of these guys. We're going to talk, you know, if you didn't hear a name like Tevin Coleman, we're going to get into these guys this week. So hang tight. We're over an hour here on the show. So we've got to wrap it up. But the Monday night game tonight, you've got everybody's favorite. The Cardinals.

I was really looking. That's what I was looking for there, guys. I did not know where you were going. All right. You've got Fitzgerald, John Brown, Michael Floyd, tonight's game. And then you have Marshall matched up with probably Patrick Peterson for most of the game on the other side. Is this a game where a Noonwa would be a very sneaky start? Yeah, I like a Noonois here. Possibly. Possibly. I think Marshall will be okay. Austin Savarian Jenkins as well.

might do something. This is just a game to see what ASJ has on Monday night before you go out and maybe he's not going to start him. Maybe he's in waivers tomorrow because of that.
