So I like Nick Chubb this week. He's my start of the week. Matt Breda set a career, or sorry, a season high in Kerry's last week in a game. We didn't think he was even born. Where he was supposed to be questionable. We didn't think he was going to play. He plays tonight. He's my start of the week at the running back position, taking on Oakland. Look, if he's knocked out of the game, his production is going to go down. That being said, I'm not presuming an incident on the field. He's playing.

53:39 ↗

Mostard's banged up. Morris has been bad. Matt Brita is the guy they count on in that backfield. He may actually catch a couple passes tonight. So I think Matt Berita, you're looking at 16 to 20 total touches against Oakland. You give me 16 to 20 touches against Oakland. I'm feeling pretty good. And I want to make him my start of the week so you have confidence to roll them out there in one of those spots tonight.

54:04 ↗

Man, if the 50% happens that it is Nick Mullen's throwing the ball, he better be checking down to Matt Barita every chance that he gets. My start of the week as I insinuated. It's Isaiah Crowell up against Miami. Miami has allowed 100 plus rushing yards in five of seven games. The past two weeks, Kerry on Johnson. Lamar Miller both saw huge, tremendous success. And I expect the Jets to be in a more competitive game, which...

54:32 ↗

shifts things to Crowell, and we have seen what happens when Crowell is in a positive game script. It's monster games. I have to give you a lot of credit on your, what I'll call the Crowell timing this year, because you made him a start of the week when he had a blow-up game. You pumped the brakes on him immediately for the following week. Now was the time. He is very difficult to figure out because he doesn't just give you a 10-point week. He stinks. He's all or nothing, me.

55:00 ↗

Isaiah Crewell, hopefully this is the week. Jason, who's your wide receiver? My wide receiver that I insinuated, John Smokey Touchdown Brown. He is coming off a terrible week where we said this is a really bad matchup for him against Carolina. Lo and behold, he had three for 28. But the last time he played...

55:21 ↗

Pittsburgh. He put up 116 yards and a touchdown. He is an air yards master, and it's a perfect matchup for what Pittsburgh has been struggling with. They came out of their buy. Pittsburgh did, and they looked much better last week. But that could just be the one week because prior to the buy, they were pretty much the worst in the league, giving up the big plays to wide receivers. And, you know, even including last week, they're 27th against wide receivers for fantasy points given up. I think the matchup is perfect.

55:50 ↗

John Brown has been better at home. And John Brown's the type of guy where you are trying to find the right week. You're trying to go, okay, is this a week where I get the huge explosion? Is this week I need to bench the dud? And this is the week I'm calling for an explosion. So I'm going to make him my start of the week as I did two weeks ago when he went ham. Okay. All right. I'm going to go with Julian Edelman against Green Bay. He owned the middle of the field. This should be a very exciting, fun game, primetime game. Edelman always shows up.

56:18 ↗

And look, whatever deficiencies that they have with Gronkowski, that connection right now going on. Edelman is owning the middle of the field. He's owning third down. And last week was a huge game for him, over 100 yards. I love Edelman in week number nine. And then let's, Mike, you've got your wide receiver. I do. I'm going with DJ Moore. DJ Moore, like I said, I have both Panthers wide receivers in my top 24. And I want to give people the confidence.

56:47 ↗

that i have in dj more this week that is he is a he is a great flex option i mean he's he is 24 so technically he's a wide receiver too for me as well tampa bay allowing 320 plus passing yards a game over 30 fantasy points a week to the to wide receiver position cam newton's my number one quarterback we saw carolina make the change this week that they're trying to get dj more involved the snaps were finally there tory smith being banged up

57:16 ↗

All signs point to the ascension of the rookie to finally be in our fantasy lineups and get us some points. And on top of that where I think he's a safe play, DJ Moore's ceiling is monsters. His athletic measurables are insane. All right. Let's close out our starts of the week with the tight end position. Jason is doubling down on that Brown's offense. Always a wise thing to do. Yeah, no, it's risky. I'll be honest. I'll be really honest. I don't.

57:44 ↗

love that I'm going so hard at the Browns. I always stay away from the Browns. So this is going to be one of those. Well, maybe you have the magic touch with. If you burn me, I've stayed away forever. I felt good about it. And this is the time where I'm going in and watch it, Browns, okay? Come through for me. Be a man. Now you're a man. A man, man, man, man, man. We got to get that for Greg Williams. David and Joku. David and Joku is a guy that you can't go away from just because he gused.

58:13 ↗

Titan's goose. Hunter Henry is named the goose. Look, a goose hurts, man. When someone gives you a good pinch in the butt, it's terrible. You don't want to get gooseed, and I apologize for you being goose, but it's no good. But you can't stop starting a guy who is still running 82% snap percentages. He's on the field all the time. A freak athlete, he has been getting it done every week of the year.

58:42 ↗

Except this last one. And you're going to want to go, oh, he goased me. I can't, I can't play him. He's going to be, he's going to be okay. This isn't me saying he's the best start of the week. You know, I had George Kittle in there originally, but I was like, that's a little too obvious. Jared Cook, these are guys you're starting over them. But because of the goose, a lot of people are going to say, I'm not playing David and Joku. Don't do that. Yep.

59:07 ↗

I'm going with O.J. Howard against Carolina. Carolina has given up a touchdown to the tight end position in five of seven games. They're dead last in the league in fantasy points allowed to the tight end. O.J. Howard's breaking out week after week. He's an athletic freak. Fitzmagic will get him the ball this week. O.J. Howard. And I'm on the other side of the ball. Greg Olson.

59:27 ↗

We've already kind of covered the matchup. I really, really like the Panthers offense, so I'm trying to get a piece. However, I can't. And Greg Olson, since he's returned, he's starting to get a healthy target share. He is involved in this offense. I think this is the game where we can really see him do something. All right. Jason Moore's Ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the week.

60:00 ↗

Kicking it home in a dome, I don't want to get nuts. I'm taking my four field goals from the Saints, Will Lutz. Four? Calling for the four pack. Why not? Why not? Why not five, Jason? Put in a request. I would request eight field goals, William Lutz, if you could be so kind. Oh, you called him by his birth name. To be.

60:32 ↗

To be my man. It's weird. His birth name is actually Bill. Yeah. No, it is. Billiam. Billiam. Billiam. Billiam Lutz. Hey, Fickland, if you are struggling in your season long, you want to have fun.

61:29 ↗

Somehow we can shorten that to Will or Bill. Correct. And then you have Robert. That for some reason you can just slip a B in there. It can be Rob or Bob. Or Bob. When did this happen? Long time ago. That we just decided, do you not like the first letter of your name? You're allowed to put a B in. It's a legal substitution. Yeah. That was at the council of Will and Bill. Yeah. That's true. I don't know. That is actually fact. You're it.

61:56 ↗

That is actually factual. I was going to bring up Richard, but we shall not go there. Oh, we shall not. I have an Uncle Dick. No, he was talking about. Yeah, my Uncle Dick. That's not where Jason was leading. Oh, that is sure it was. Was it? Oh. That's the nickname for Richard. Richard. How did that happen? No, no, I thought you were.

62:21 ↗

I thought you were replacing his name with what we're just talking about. Like if you changed Mike to bike. No, we weren't because we don't think like you. No, we don't. We were talking about reality where like Richard's nickname is Dick. How did that happen? Nobody knows how anything happens. Let's be clear. Nobody knows how anything has ever happened. Guy was just a jerk. The first Richard was a jerk. There you go. King Richard. That was my grandfather's name.
