huge swing. If you can turn, you know, Cooper Cup into, you know, with a package of players into Dalvin Cook or, you know, Derek Henry or someone like that, I would do it because wide receivers, even the best, are inconsistent. They will have their down games. And Cooper Cup has not had one yet, which means they're coming. But over the course of the season, what do you think?

From here on out, obviously fantasy finish, she's probably going to be like a top six wide receiver based on these first three weeks alone. But from week four through 17, where would you slot Cooper Cup in as the wide receiver what? Oh, man. I would put in it, so top 10 is easy. Top five is probable. And I think I would, I think I'll stop at top five.

You know, that wide receiver four to five range. Back a couple of years ago, when he finished as the wide receiver four in half point scoring, he did have, you know, five putrid games in that, well, six if you count week one. So six putrid games, a bunch of incredible games, and then just three, meh, games. So like you said, a poor game will happen for Cooper Cup.

But if he's balancing those things out with this level of performance, and Matthew Stafford is just such a better quarterback than Jared Goff and is transforming this Rams offense into one of the best in football. The Rams, the Rams to me are the best team in the NFL. They are easily the best team in the NFL to me. Because while the Chiefs, I still would take their offense over the Rams, I don't know that I take any.

defense over the ramp when you have basically the like the two best defensive players on the same team it's not really fair it's we don't that that just brings up an interesting conversation of we're not talking tyrie kill though right now but he's been schemed out two weeks in a row tyrie kill had we thought it made that jump into being like a consistent superstar on a weekly basis because you know that anyone play he can house it that's just part of his skill set

But two weeks in a row, and teams that, in week two, a team that should not have been able to scheme Tyreek Hill out of the game plan, they did. Was that concerning for you at all? Nope, not at all. I can't stress this enough for Clay. You need to know this with wide receivers. All wide receivers are inconsistent. Go for the guys. Cooper Cup or Tyree Kill. Tyree Kill, exactly. If you could trade, you can definitely get this trade to go through.

You can trade in, I would say, at least 40% of leagues right now. You could trade Cooper Cup for Tyree Kill straight up. You've got three back-to-back weeks of domination from Cooper Cup, two back-to-back weeks of disappointment from Tyree Kill. Yeah, I'm taking the Chiefs offense. I'm taking the history of Tyree Kill, the speed. Tyree Kill in 2018 was the wide receiver won. There was not a better wide receiver in fantasy than Tyree Kill that year. And he had seven games outside the top 24.

You want a wide receiver who can win you weeks. And both these guys can. But I think that is the best example. I would 100% trade Cooper Cup for Tyree Kill. All right. Let's get into Thursday. Thursday night breakdown. Oh, brother, we got a barn burner this Thursday night. The Jacksonville, Jaguars, taking on the Cincinnati Bengals.

should say the 0 and 3 Jaguars and the 2-1 Cincinnati Bengals. Draft King Sportsbook has the line at the Bengals minus 7. The over-under is sitting at 46.5 points. That puts the Jaguars team-implied total under 20 points. I mean, we got a battle of overall number one first round picks. We got Joey Burrow. We got Trevor Lawrence. We got a rematch from a national championship game.

just a couple years ago, Trevor Lawrence completing a league low 50% of his passes. The rookie quarterbacks this season, it's making me sad, Jason, is making me sad. I was so freaking pumped coming into the season. It was, we have an influx here of incredible talent. Now, we know that statistically, it's not very likely that every single one of these guys is going to work out. And I'm not.

by any stretch calling someone to bust three games into their career. But with Trevor Lawrence, Zach Wilson, Mack Jones has been fine and then just the Justice Fields experience. There's just, I'm, yeah, Mac Jones has been, very disappointed. Mac Jones has been very good for, um, the NFL. Real life football. Yeah, but not for fantasy. He's, um, and I feel bad for his interception count because like,

So many of these interceptions aren't his fault at all. The guys hit the hands and they pop it up. But anyway, back to the game. Trevor Lawrence, Joe Burrow. Are we playing anybody here? Are you willing to stream Trevor Lawrence? Are you willing to stream Joe Burrow against the Jags defense? I would be willing to stream Joe Burrow against the Jags defense. Last year, they were the 29th against the quarterback position. This year, their 20th, Kyler had some.

really head-scratching plays that I think made the Jaguars look better than they are when he just bombed it poorly into double coverage. Joe Burrow could have a very good game this week. I think he is in consideration. I wouldn't start Trevor Lawrence probably this whole season. I mean, I don't think a matchup is going to cause me to start him.

He has made so many boneheaded plays. He's not really running the ball. Thankfully, he ran a little bit more. You know, week one was terrifying because week one, it looked like he was going to be completely pocket locked, which we know is a death knell for fantasy. Like Polly? Sure, Polly Pocket locked. I don't know. He did have 20 rushing yards both weeks, which is which is.

That's the one thing that's, if you're going to start Trevor Lawrence over the course of the season, it will be because he starts getting his legs going. But not enough so far. So he's out. Joe Burrow, I would rather not play. Obviously, Mixon is in. Yeah, Joe Mixon is in. The third most touches at the running back position. We're talking about how the Bengals have gone extremely run heavy. On the other side of the ball, you have James Robinson, you have Carlos Hyde. Now, James Robinson.

came through with a solid fantasy match or a finish this past week. I had mentioned earlier how through three weeks it looks like the Cardinals defense could be highly susceptible to the running backs. Dalvin Cook just manhandled them. James Robinson looked great, but something to pay attention to before you push all the chips in on James Robinson. Last week,

59% of the snaps, which was down from week two. You saw his running back attempt share drop from 85% to 65%. He did get all of the running back targets this past week, but I don't think, while it was good to see that Robinson is not just completely a footnote for Urban Meyer,

I'm not celebrating running through the street saying that James Robinson is back to an every week play. I'm fully confident in Robinson as my running back too. Are you there with the week three finish or are you still hesitant? I'm certainly bought into him being the guy. He is like 65% down to 65% is really, really good. 65% of the running back carries means you are the clear leader and 100% of the targets.

Honestly, I think James Robinson is going to be good for fantasy from here on now. You can start him in this matchup. I don't by any means. I think he's going to get touchdowns very often like he did this last game, so I wouldn't overreact to the fantasy finish of last week. But Robinson is, he's involved enough. He has as many scrimmage yards through three weeks as Ezekiel Elliott. And they need him because their team's not good, and he is.

Okay, okay. At the wide receiver position, you're playing Jamar Chase, you're playing Tyler Boyd over on the other side. And T. Higgins, if he's actually starting, would you play him? No, no, I would not start him. Okay. I don't think he'll play. Yeah, if he's active, it just basically, if he's active, it means I'm probably not going to play Tyler Boyd. That's what that means to me. Okay. Assuming he's gone.

Tyler Boyd's in. Jamar Chase has to be in no matter what. He has four touchdowns on only 11 receptions. He's looked very, very good. Another one. I straight up apologized to Jamar Chase yesterday. Sort of. No, I straight up apologized. That was a sort of. Full apology. 100% apology. That was like a, I'll give you a 80. 85. No, you got to be at least 95. I'm going. Let's go to the judge. I'm down. I'm down to 80%. It's dropping by the moment. What would you?

qualify my apology percentage at for Jamar Chase on yesterday's episode. I think it's closer to 55. Oh. You son. Oh, man. Okay. Well, I know who's Brooks not best friends with anymore. Well, to follow that up, then this is a great segue. I would trade Jamar Chase immediately.

solely because again, I mean, I love Cooper Cup. He's been in like all my DFS lineups, my starts of the week. He's, I love everything about Cooper Cup. This isn't a slight against Jamar Chase. It's to say he's had four touchdowns on 11 receptions. He's overproducing. He looks like he's going to be the next great, you know, you can sell him as last year's Justin Jefferson, a league winner. And the reality is,

We haven't seen him do on the field what Justice Jefferson did yet, and he's got to do it for a long time. Whenever you trade a guy and you get the price for them, if you capitalize on like you're maximizing Jamar Chase and people are paying through the nose for him, then so what if he keeps it up? You get the value. Whenever you trade a guy high, it just means you're going to end up winning even if the guy stays high.

On the other side, Marvin Jones. Is he in every week flex at this point? He seems like it. I mean, this is where the three game sample size is a little bit worrisome because you saw so much to DJ Chark in one game. But I mean, nine targets, 11 targets, eight targets. And he's good. You know what I mean? Like Marvin Jones is a quality wide receiver. A known commodity in the NFL. I think you have to start him. He would be an interesting, like,

Marvin Jones or Alan Robinson. I can't imagine not going with Marvin Jones right now. Man, of a start-sit decision? Yeah. Yeah, that's, oh my goodness, you're probably right. Marvin Jones sitting at about 25% of the Jacksonville targets, which is fantastic. DJ Chark is, I mean, if you want to fly, I guess you can try and do that. He's been a top 24 wide receiver. Two of the three weeks.

completely bombed against Denver. And, I mean, you need him to catch a touchdown, essentially. And then Leviska-Schanalt, what do you do with Visk? Are you holding? Are you moving on? Shall not play him. Should you roster him? I don't want to. I mean, I get it. He could be better. He's got the manufactured touches. But his opportunities come so close to the line of scrimmage that he's,

pretty much a running back, right? Like, he's not being utilized as a wide receiver. He's being used as a gadget player. And if you think about that and you compare him to a running back because of where he's getting the ball and you look at running back, how many opportunities do you want a running back to have on a weekly basis? Like, where do you feel good about them? Total opportunities, targets in Russia. I would feel good if they were at the at least 13 mark. Yeah, that's about where I am. 13. And if you look at...

You know, Viska last week had four targets, seven targets the week before. If all these, like seven targets isn't necessarily bad, but if they're all at the line of scrimmage, right. Think of them like, you know, there's seven handoffs with a, with a PPR bump. And if you're in full PPR, he's a little bit better because you do get the, you know, if he gets one catch for, you know, one yard. Right. You get a full point, but I'm not excited about him. The tight ends, C.J. Uzama, you're not playing him.

They just traded for Dan Arnold, the postman. The postman. I'm not sure if he delivers in Jacksonville or not. But they did trade for him. You can't, I can't imagine you're playing him this week. But he is on at least the dumpster dive, tight end watch. Because James O'Shaughnessy was.
