Week 6 Matchups + Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/16

literally dead last in fantasy points to quarterbacks and that's all quarterbacks obviously it's better with mike evans but around the goal line instead of passing the ball to mike evans they'll pass the ball to christian mcalfrey or george and um they just always get it done always would you start any wide receiver though if evans was no no i i wouldn't know if it was christian kirk is back of practice i will yeah we'll say christian kirk is a name to monitor i just picked him up in our league of record j i c because he was he's a very forgotten man

Like he was a big addition, you know, relative. He was an addition. He was an addition. He was a mid-level addition. I mean, he was pretty bad last year. Yeah, as you say, he's kind of tough. He's kind of cooked. He might be, but he will, like, he will get a ton of snaps for this team who is hurting at wide receiver. Who's older? Christian Kirk or Brandon Cooks? I don't know. I mean, I have to assume it's cooks, but I don't know for sure. Why don't you tell me?

Yeah, that seems like a question you might have the answer, too. Krista Kirk is about to turn 30. Brandon Cook's is 33. Yeah, those are your options now. But Kittle, awesome. Kittles going to, I don't know, be the tight end two on the week because Brock Powers exists. Yeah, kind of a down week last week, right? Yeah, 5, 4, 24, no touchdown. Yeah. The injuries are outrageous right now for the commanders. We got reports this morning. Dude.

Jacori Crossi Merritt is not a practice again. I don't think he's Friday. So it seems like he'd be out. But don't worry, Rashad White and Echler are wearing non-contact jerseys. They're both hurt. Terry McClorin. Where's fat man? Terry McClureen had rest days. Put up the fat signal. Oh, man, he's got to put up the fat signal. You're talking about the guy that don't even have anyone? Yes, the commanders need him. Seems like Ketron Allen would be used. He should just show up. Be like, hey, guys. So if JCM was out. I'm here.

If JCP was out, would you play, like the 49ers defense, their one vulnerability so far, 25 against running backs. Would you play Echler? No. Not because. A man in a non-contactors? Yeah. Who do you play then? If Echler was healthy, I would absolutely play Echler in this matchup, but I. But who else is going to play? It seems like if they were, I mean, that's all I'm saying. You have an issue that it's Monday night. We know that the 49ers.

Like they do give up more receptions to running backs than, like, you would expect. It's in terms of what that player's expected to do. So I don't hate it from like a low level. I feel like I would make that move. Like I'm thinking about that in a league where I have very slim. Like I'd play him over Mike Washington for sure. Yes, I would play him over Mike Washington. The opportunity is there. It's just, is he healthy? What's the current health status of Rashad White?

I mean, I know he has. He's also in a non-contact. He has the same type. I think they're trying to keep those guys from getting more hurt before they activate them. I think those would be your two starters. If those two guys are both active, then I'm kind of out. Yeah. So Terry McLaren is on a rest date. Stefan Diggs is practicing. We got one piece of good news. He's practicing today. Which, Stefan? Which being a, you know, a Monday night, that's basically yesterday missing.

The Thursday practice usually is like a bad thing. But having a Wednesday practice off would be fine. That's basically what his is. So, I mean, they need him here with no running game. I would start Jaden Daniels for sure. He's going to be the running game. He had over 100 rushing yards last week. Yeah, you really can't sit. Even if the matchup's bad and the projected point total is bad, you can't sit a guy who ran for 100 yards. Yeah. So that makes sense. And you're going to have to monitor some of these injuries heading into the weekend. We have the injury blitz podcast that comes out this afternoon.

by our injury expert Matthew Betts. That's part of the Foot Clan at Join the Foot.com. We do have a couple of injury updates right now. Sequin, not practicing again on Friday. Seems like he'll be out. Devante Smith and Dante de Wicks are practicing. Okay. So you can Tanner McKee your way to a loss. And Lamar Jackson, not practicing again on Friday. So that sucks. For Zay Flowers. Yeah. For Lamar. Lamar managers. Yeah. So.

Any other thoughts on this game or should we move on to the face-off? Oh, boy. Fantasy face-off, presented by prize picks. Lucky me. Back to back, boys. I was off to a good start and now I'm back to my comfortable spot at the bottom. Wheel of shame. All right, spin it. All right, we got some snack, something, Captain noodle. Oh.

Oh, the pink pony club. Pink pony club. Oh, boy. Look at you little beautiful unicorn. Wait, we didn't get my gloves or nothing? Bro. Yeah, this is good enough. Put your face in a horse head. Well, there he is. It's a unicorn, Jason. I apologize. Respect. Oh, you look good in that. Oh, yeah, yeah. This is not great. Well, it's an upgrade. Oh, that's great. Is that right? Oh, no. It's very bad for sound. Yeah, that was.

That kind of disturbed me. I don't know what I look like. You look like a pink unicorn. Quarterback. Okay. Are you kicking us off? I guess I am. This feels like a weird thing I'm doing. Gino Smith, 221.5 passing yards facing the New England Patriots. I'm taking the left. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. I'll blame you there. My green goblin.

is at quarterback. It's Josh Allen more flexing on more than 14. I'm sorry, more than 13 and a half rushing yards. So that could be a play. It should. Didn't he have 120 last week? The unicorn is destroying the microphone. Sir. We don't gobble mics. We don't gobble mics. Just, uh,

Just to make you a little afraid two weeks ago, Josh Allen did not hit more on that, Jay. What about the week before that? Yeah? Yeah. What about the week before that? Yeah. I need oxygen. I'm just saying there's one. I'm not saying it's always possible, but it seems like an easy one. We got to get him back in. We got to support the Shuck Daddy's. Tyler Shuck, 232 and a half passing yards. Okay. We're going more, baby. All right. I like, I like the support. Yes. Tap on the butt. Hey, look.

It's the giants. It's the giants. What are you doing, unicorn? I don't know. I even lost. Wait, here they are. He has to look through his mouth hole. Here's the one that I thought was hilarious. Okay. It's my green goblin. It's Omari and Hampton. Oh. Okay. It is 11.5 rushing yards.

I'm taking the more. Let's go, baby. Oh, man. He can get to 12. Pro Hampton. Oh, no. Pro Hampton. I love, you love to hear it. Oh, I can't wait to see that one fail. Love to hear it. I am going at running back with Bayshel Tootin. I looked at his.

Yeah, I'm going with his receiving yard. Oh, oh. It's just more than eight and a half. This smells bad. More than eight and a half receiving yards. He has been involved in the receiving game. Oh, eight and a half. Yeah. I, you know, I'm going to be honest. My projection when I did it last night was seven and a half, but it's going to. Yep. My green goblin is the running back position as well. You may have heard of him. His name is Ken Bone Walker. Oh, a green goblin on Walker. 59 and a half.

Yeah. We'll take the more. I thought about his regular one, but then as cool. Oh, yeah. I wanted the Green Goblin, baby. Marvin Harrison Jr. Oh, here. You're doing it, huh? I was going to do. 20.5% percent. I'm taking the more. I think almost all three of us did it. I pivoted out. I knew Andy would be on it. I knew he would do that. I actually doubled my lineup with an additional Marvin Harrison, 20 and a half, because that's a great. That's a great pick. I want to root for it.

And I'm going at wide receiver, C.D. Lamb in that, you know, big high scoring game. CD Lamb more than six receptions. Okay. So, you know, these. Stay strong, quad. Yeah, I mean, obviously that's the whole issue. He's looking for a bailout. No, I'm not looking for a bailout. Get that price. He's looking for anybody a little bit hurt. Yeah. All right. My wide receiver, J. I'm joining you in the Jacksonville.

Parker, Washington, 61.5 receiving yards. We'll go more. Is it up to me? Yeah, last one. Tyler Higby. 34.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more. Okay. All right. All right. I like it. I'm going to go with Tyler Warren. You're going to disinfect that, Mike. Tyler Warren, five receptions. I'm going more.

Okay. He's been very involved. Double teams on Josh Downs. So I expect him to have more. And I'm hoping to have some correlation here between the Giants and the Saints. I'm going Isaiah likely 52 and a half receiving guards. Makes sense. We'll see if they just end up in a in a throw fest as we would hope because neither team can really run the ball. I can't breathe.
