Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 6 Matchups, In-or-Out, Zeke Update

But this is just... It's messy. Who knows? In a league where both were on waivers, I cleared room and I made $20 bids on both of them. You know, I wasn't going to... I'll hold them. So, and obviously it's going to depend on the league. You have to be realistic. If this ends up being a three-week period before you know, and you want to take up two bench spots, that's rough. You could end up hurting yourself. And do not clear your fab for this either. No, and the reality is you could hold out.

three weeks keeping up two bench spots and then Zeke plays every game. And honestly, because of that, today might be a decent time to target Zeke for the super cheap. If you can just get someone who thinks he's a throwaway piece, you saw an email. We did. We had an email come in from a listener who said, I picked up DMC and Morris off the waivers. And I mean, this is absolutely ludicrous. But they were able to flip the newly acquired Morris and DMC for Zeke.

I would do it. You would, I would, I would acquire Zeke. Oh, yes. Of course. Of course I would. I'm saying that's, that's a bit of an overreaction from the Zeke owner to just, to panic. There are just so many ways this could turn out. I mean, you, you still have Zeke being able to push it back a year. You still have Zeke being able to actually just have it changed from six games to three games. See, I don't think that's going to happen. I think at this point, the NFL.

all the hoops that Zeke has made them jump through to enact the suspension. I can't imagine they drop it from six. If they would have done that, it would have happened already. Did Brady's change? No. Yeah. It stayed the full. There you go. All right. Every Friday week. Oh, the last bit of news. I apologize. The Chargers Raiders game, they are evaluating the situation because of the air quality due to the fires in California. So they are looking for other options.

Quite possibly for the game. Currently still scheduled. Exactly. But if it's moved, does that change anything for you? Probably not. I mean, if they move it, it'll still be a... I assume it becomes a neutral site. Yeah, but it'll probably be a neutral site. The tickets would remain the same. It would be the same people, right? I saw...

the cityago the host the mayor of san diego offered oh man offered to host it oh that was so funny they love football there um if the if san diego hosts a charger game what is that event like those fans those angry fans rightfully angry unless i'm not not saying it's something negative about that but if your team came crawling back oh because they had to what i now that's my new hope i hope

this happens. I mean, you would have to show up in Raider gear. Oh, man. Raiders will sell so many jerseys. That's funny. One more piece of news before we move on because it was brought to my attention, but David Johnson, Bruce Ariens has, you know, basically said that he thinks Thanksgiving is the earliest David Johnson could come back. So week 12 looks like a long shot, which means.

He's probably not coming back before your fantasy playoffs. Oof. Just want you to be aware? Yeah. Want our foot clan to be in the know. All right. We're going to talk some in and out here. What's it going to pay me to fly? Are you in or out? Every Friday we run through these names of questionable players, will they play? And we kind of give our educated opinion here. Derek Carr coming off of that whatever the bone fracture in his back. But. Mm-hmm.

What do you think? Is he going to play? I hypothesize that he... Indubidably! He's expected to play. I do worry about it. I worry about a reaggravation. Would you play him? Yeah, I am playing him in one league, but he's lower in my rankings than what you would usually expect from Derek Carr in this matchup. Marcus Mariotta. So he's game time decision. He's been practicing a little bit more with his hamstring issue this week, which is a good sign. But he's Monday night football.

Luckily for if you're holding out hope, you want to play Mario Yoda. Jacoby Brissette's a great stream play this week. Who is his opponent? The beef brisket. Oh my goodness. What am I doing? Hey, where's the beef? He is a great pickup. So you can just, if you want, if you want to hold out for Mario, grab Jacoby, ride it out. Absolutely. I think that's a perfect pair. And if you can't get Jacoby Brissette.

I would look elsewhere. I would not. I mean, you just take a too big of risk at the quarterback position. If you have to cut Marioota, like if that's what your roster dictates to pick up some streamable quarterback, then that's what you got to do. Matthew Stafford. He's in. He's a gamer. All right. Sammy Biscuits. He'll never play again. No, I hope he gets back in a couple weeks, but no, he's not playing this week. Ty Montgomery.

So Ty Montgomery practicing in full. Again. Again, this would be week two. We saw Rob Kelly come back in week two from his injury. His was bruise, though. Exactly. That's what I was going to bring up. You know, there's questions. Some people say that his were broken. Some people know it was just bruised. I think Time Montgomery broke his. I think Rob Kelly was bruised. So I lean that Time Montgomery will not suit up this week. Rob Kelly, the aforementioned.

Well, different injury. Ankle injury, he is not expected to play. Blau Powell. Blow Powell. I do not believe Blow Powell will play. He hasn't practiced. And same with his teammate, Matt Forte. Forte has been practicing. You expect him out? I, yeah, I guess that one's more difficult. Check the news this weekend. I think I lean that Matt Forte will not play. Terrence West. I think they want to see Elijah McGuire. I think they want to have a game.

where Elijah McGuire is it. However, if Forte plays, your pump the brakes on McGuire is right. If Forte plays, he's the starter. He's not the backup. Terrence West. Terrence West, definitely out. He'll be out for a couple weeks. Rex Burkett. He has been practicing the last couple of weeks. He could suit up for sure this week. I'm just not sure if they want to have that many running backs active. Dionne Lewis seems like he's earned a spot. So he's...

So, so. Smash Jackson, aka Paul Perkins. Yeah, we can't call him Smash Jackson. It's so good, man. Smash Jackson, RIP. RIP. We'll convert Smash Jackson to a different name someday. No, Paul Perkins already been ruled out. Sterling Shepard. Already been ruled out. Stefan Diggs. He didn't practice Thursday. I think he will play. Do you play him? And I don't play him. Jordy Nelson.

Horty. Horty. He's practicing in full on Thursday. He's a go. Devante Parker. Devante Parker has not been practicing. I do not expect him to play this week. And I hope he does not play this week because we are in a matchup head to head and you have Devante Parker. You're going to get Andre Ellington in the face. Tyree Kill. Tyree Kill added to the injury report Thursday for hamstring. Never a good sign. No, when late week things pop up. We've also seen.

he'll hobbled a couple times through the first few weeks. I expect him to play. I expect him to start. I am a little bit more worried of the possibility that he takes himself out of the game halfway through. We have a lot of these names this week. Yeah. Well, we're in the, when you get to week six, the bodies are breaking down out here. Mohammed Sanoo. Not practicing, not going to play. Oh, Kenny G. Ooh.

Kenny Gallaudet. He's getting in some limited practice, but it's smooth practice. Yeah, he might suit up. And I believe it's a good matchup. As you shared on your DFS podcast, you really believe in playing the wide receiver not covered by Patrick Peterson. You're thinking of the wrong team. Yes. That's Deshaun Jackson. That is Deshaun Jackson. Similar situation.

though, which is where my brain was going. The deep ball opportunity for the Lions is there. Eileen Marvin Jones. I wouldn't start Goliday, but he might suit up. Gronk. Rob Gronkowski. Rob Gonskowski practiced on Thursday, expected to play. Jack Doyle? Yeah, so Doyle is in the concussion protocol. Just give me the in or out, Jason. We have so much show. He's in. All right. Travis Kelsey. Not only is he in. He's a good play. Travis Kelsey. Travis Kelsey.

is in he's practicing george kittle limited hill he'll play in is that is this i get i can only say in or out i don't know the rules there are well to be fair there are no rules right now that's right dad's gone i can say whatever i want watch ask me the next uh george kittle who knows who cares next next next question

All right, very, very fair. Before we move into the rest of the match, I just want to thank today's sponsor. It's draft. It's our studio sponsor. And we got to let you know. This is the biggest week ever. Got to get in this. They're launching multiplayer draft tournaments. They're offering a huge redeposit bonus. These multiplayer tournaments. It's a total game changer. This is the inaugural. The inaugural. You got to get in. If you're not in now, you're, you're never going to be in the inaugural week.

That's true. And you will also be very sad because it's a $10 entry. This is a $35,000 prize pool, four-round tournament with eight people drafts. You win one week. You're in the money. You win four street, four straight. Five thousand bones. I'll take it. Foot Clan. I expect that $5,000. You just got to win in an eight-man league.

Hey, Foot Clan, when you win this thing, whoever you are, when you win four in a row.

Make sure you message us. Let us know. It's called the Quatro. The Quatro. ESPN4. The Quattro. Also definitely need to thank Pristine Auction. One of the longest sponsors of the Fantasy Footballers podcast. We love them. They have everything you could ever dream of or wish for when it comes to signed authentic signatures of superstars on sports memorabilia. It's an auction site.

So, you know, these things that you think, oh, that must be $500. You find it, you bid on it. We win signed jerseys all the time. I mean, in our monthly giveaways, we are always on pristine auction, and we bid on everything we could find. And it's, you know, you're every month stealing these things at $40, $50. It doesn't cost you anything to bid if you don't win, unlike other auction sites. I mean, that's so stupid.

I can't imagine an auction site doing that. Pristine, they're not going to do that. So check them out. Go to pristineauction.com. P-R-I-S-T-I-N-E auction.com. Make a completely free account and make sure you let them know that you heard about them at the fantasy footballers. Fantasy forecast. 49ers travel to Washington. The Washington Redskins are favored by 10.5 points. The over under is 46.5. Clear skies.

Good weather. What are you expecting from this game, Jay? You know, I'm hoping for a shootout here. I think we've seen enough from Brian Hoyer and Kyle Shanahan that the offense can get it done when it is not a terrible matchup. You know, they've had two of their five weeks against average or below average opponents, and they've put up points. Brian Hoyer's been great. Pierre Garsohn's been great. I think they'll be able to do that against...

the Washington Redskins, in which case, the Redskins will then be able to return, fire, and score. So I'm really hoping that this game is more of a sneaky shootout where, you know, the points are flying. I love P-Rine in this game. San Francisco's run defense. Not, yeah, it's very beatable. Yeah, it's very beatable. Shockingly.

I mean, it's one of those things that happens when you only have a few weeks of data, but they are the number one defense against the tight end. Are you worried about Jordan Reed? Jordan Reed has been removed from the injury report, although he has stated he's currently not 100%. But that's, I think that's the best you're going to get from Jordan Reed. Jordan Reed has not been 100% since he was born. I was going to say since birth. It's the birth 100% though on that day.

The 49ers defense, they have allowed 24 points per game. That's why I am loving me some Washington players. Kirk Cousins, I believe, is your start of the week. Kirk Cousins is my start of the week. Coming off of the buy at home, this is a great situation. You saw Terrell Pryor get his offensive pass interference on. Wasn't called, but got the long bomb. Josh Doxon is getting a little bit more involved. What do we do?
