Week 2 Matchups + Wheel of Shame, BLARF! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 9/15

if Jamal is still inefficient for them to see if Kendra Miller can do anything. It also, I mean, both sides of the story are very probable to me or possible to me of Jamal getting it all, not really doing anything, or Jamal being supplanted by Kendra Miller, which is leading me to the point of I don't really want to play either of these guys. What about Jamal Williams in potential volume or nausea against Cleveland, which is the second Monday night game? Oh, man. Naji had, what was it, eight? No, eight total opportunities, six carries. Which Jason brought up, like, if you, if you are not hitting 13 opportunities in week one. It's a bad sign for the season, historically. Seemingly a bad owner. I think I'd still go Naji. Olave play him. Yeah. He was good. Michael Thomas, 80% of snaps. He's going to be a, I guess, late career Robert Wood's style start from now on. Sure.

He looked pretty good, eight targets. He was five for 61, 80% of snaps. I mean, a player like that, at the very least, start him early in the season. Maybe he slows down, but... Yeah, Rashid Shahid's performance makes me wonder if Thomas could get kind of... Surpassed out a little bit. Yeah, and J.C. Horn, it will not be playing for the Carolina Panthers, which, I mean, that's a brutal hit to the secondary. And... The Saints recipe in week one, Jamal Williams was very inefficient. Derek Carr was not. Completed 70% of his passes, 12.3A.DOT. That was only behind two. Like, they were, they were ripping the ball down the field. If you have Olava, you're so happy about those numbers. Yes, you are. Is he a potential start this week? Carr? Yeah, you've been streaming. Yeah, he's a streamer. John Johnson, 75% of snaps versus Haydenhurst on the other side. Haydenhurst is the number two tight-in in week one.

Hearst is going to be kind of a buddy to Bryce Young just in a PPR standpoint. Could be. Because stealing is unwilling. Is that all we get? It's just like an old person scared. You woke him up from a nap. Where am I? Marvin, where are you? I'm sorry, Adam. Cleveland one and out taking on the O and one Pittsburgh Steelers, the Drafking Sportsbook line. There it is. Cleveland minus two and a half on the road. Wow. The overrunners 39. I'm all over Cleveland in this game. I mean, you're going to have no Deonté Johnson on the Pittsburgh side. Can he pick it? He said he's day to day, Andy. Well, this is just me taking a guess then, Mike. He's day to day. For weeks. So they just keep him as doubtful in the platforms. I can't move him.

I'm going, I'm going to go bench dim Steelers. Oh, benched them all. Bench dim all. This is a blarf game. I mean, and the implied point total is 18 points for them. I, I'm benching dim Steelers. If you want to take a shot on Pickens, he will have targets to support the possibility of a large play. Okay. So you're, who would you, would you start? Where would you be starting Najee Harris? So Najee Harris. College. Versus. He was great then. He sure was. He was dominant. Najee Harris or Zach Moss? Keep moving down the line. I don't think you need to. I mean, if you're there. Is that the bottom of the line? That's the bottom. You just said Najee's last player alive. I got one for you. AJ Dylan with Aaron Jones likely out. So I mean, we'd.

We will have further information on that today. Like if Jones doesn't practice today, it's done. A.J. Dillon against the Falcons or Najee Harris. I'll say Dylan to be stubborn. But that's a game where the line changed too. Did you see that? I did not. Atlanta now favored. Interesting. So I think we expected that to potentially happen with the injury reports, but it did change. Watson, Chubb, Elijah Moore and Amari Cooper. What are we thinking on the Cleveland side? Week one for the Steelers was, look, it was the 49ers, but they gave it 37 fancy points to the whiteout, 25 to the running back. They kind of look like the game got away from them. I am completely willing in general to forgive Week 1's performance for the Steelers and give the vast majority of credit over to the San Francisco 49ers. Their defense looked just.

brutally dominant, just like they did last year. And I am willing to say, you know what, I'm not going to make this indicative of Najee. I'm not going to make this indicative of Kenny Pickett. That being said, another defense that looked so good, week one, shutting down the Bengals was this Brown. So it's a follow-up difficult defense. So I am still a little bit concerned. But obviously, the Browns had the benefit of the weather to help them out in that. week one matchup as well. Mike, George Pickens or Elijah Moore? Oh, man. I think I might play Elijah Moore. I'm Pickens in that one. Elijah Moore is, this is the type of matchup that Elijah Moore will really succeed in the Steelers. I mean, you saw. The pass rush? Well, no, I'm just saying like that type of player. They get killed by the slot, generally speaking. You had Brandon Ayuk who is tremendous against man coverage. And Elijah Moore is like, he's that guy in terms of.

being able to create separation. So it would not shock me to see Elijah Moore with like 10 plus targets in this game. Any additional thoughts in this game, Jason? Is the Mewth getting luth? I'm always going to be starting the Muth. He was drafted to be started, got a touchdown last week, didn't do much. He also got kind of banged up there. Yeah, I mean, obviously he needs to be active to be played. And then Amari Cooper, I'm not worried about the weather game from last week. He's going to be in my lineup as well. All right, let's move on.

Fantasy Faceoff, presented by Draft Kings. Well, well, well, Tua helped me to victory last week. Pretty big week. Zayflowers helped as well. Mike should be embarrassed that I was the only one was Zayflowers in the lineup. I had Dobbins, so I could not. I wasn't going to go all Ravens. That's fair. That's fair. But through one week, at least, I have. managed to avoid shame and disappointment. Jason. Yeah, what? You've got a smile on your face. Yeah, because I realize that we've got this stupid segment and I'm going to look so dumb. Yeah, you are. Wheel of shame. All right. Yeah, this is, this is good. This is good stuff, Jason. Give it to me. Let's spin that wheel. Spin the wheel of shame. The wheel is spinning. We got cowboy safety first.

Banana ramma. Nope. Head stuffing. Head stuffing. Head stuffing. Uh-oh. I imagine you will be stuffing your head into something. I will be stuffing my head into. Oh, my goodness gracious. This is a turkey. All right. Well, I guess I'm ditching glasses and hats. I hope you have your lineup memorized. No, he's got eye holes in that thing. But he's got to get his glasses. Oh, yes. Oh. Oh, boy. That is, oh, yeah, that's gross. All right, now it's getting real. Jokes on us. Okay, put your tongue away. Stop doing that. This is a family show. Nasty is right. Let's jump into the lineups for this week's fantasy faceoff and hopefully repeat this lunacy for those listening at home and not watching. Jason's head is.

right within a is it a that would be a turkey it's a turkey it's a turkey it's a turkey yeah what how do you know uh it's a turkey because it's like a Thanksgiving day turkey bumpy he is the stuffing I am the stuffing uh all right let's kick this off he's real disgusting all right my quarterback my quarterback is Joshua Allen Josh Allen oh At home against Las Vegas. Okay. I know there were some cheaper choices. I wasn't going to go with them this week. Paid up. Cash game 7900. Josh Allen gave it to me. Okay. Well, I paid up even more. I am going Patrick Mahomes at 8300 against Jacksonville. Highest over under of the week. I think that that game is back and forth. And when I saw Patrick Mahomes, I was like, I want him on my team. Okay. That's interesting. Well, I paid down a little bit.

Goff? I have Jared Goff my start of the week at home against the Seattle Seahawks. We saw the shootout last year. I don't think we're getting a shootout, but I think that we are getting Jared Goff and the Lions with a good offensive output. Well, my starting running backs, it's time to get the rookies out there, boys. Bejohn and Jemir Gibbs, 7,900 and 6,300. How much? I'm putting them both in there at home. Do you have like a salary hack? What is happening? Nope, nope, I got 100 left in this lineup. Bejohn and Jemir Gibbs, my two starters at running back. What was the, what's Gibbs at? 6300. Okay. Okay. That's not bad actually. All right. Well, I, I'm going with targets. At running back, I have also paid up for Sequin Barkley. I talked about how I think he's going to be good against the Cardinals. Yeah. And I've got Damien Pierce, my start of the week.

At 5,600, I think he's a good value at home now in a favored game. All right. I saved some cash at the running back position as well. You know it. Zach Moss is in this lineup against the Houston. Houston Texans, 4,700. That is fantastic. I'm also going with Rashad White at home. Whoa. Grosser. Against the Chicago. Moss and wide? Yeah, 5500. Hold on. So, I mean, I've saved a lot of money so far. As you see, I'm very worried about your wide receivers. My starting three wide receivers, my first one, Stefan Diggs, the stack with Josh Allen, 8,000 for Stefan Diggs. My second guy, Zay Flowers, 5,000 for Zay. And my third at 4,800. It's.

Nico. I knew you would have. I would have bet $100 you had Nico Collins. The way that you talked about him during the matchup, I was like, oh, okay. Okay. Someone's trying to speak that into existence. Shut up, turkey face. Hey, Andy, look at me. All right, go ahead and give me those three. Look at this. Look at what you've made me. Fine, I'll be the monster. You created this. All right. I apologize, Foot Clan, for having to watch us. I'm just playing the part. Oh, man. Okay, so I've got Zay Flowers. Social media is happy. I've got Zay Flowers as well. I think he's a good value at 5,000. I've got his brother, Zay Jones. Brother from another mother. Brother from another mother. I got the Zay Boys. At 4,700, I wanted that player across from Patrick Mahomes.

And then I paid up for what I think is maybe one of the best plays of the week in Ammon Rae St. Brown full PPR. I assume you have him stacked with Jared God. Of course. I have Ammon Ra with St. Brown. Then I have Calvin Ra with St. Brown. Amen Ra, St. Brown. Then I have Calvin Ridley at 7200 at home against the Kansas City Chiefs. You got Zay Jones. I got the wide receiver one. And then, oh, Jemar Chase. Yeah, I saw that coming. At home against the Baltimore Ravens, 7900. Well, here's where the savings begins, Mike. Mike tied in. I'm going with another rookie. This is the rookie lineup. I don't know. Sam LaPorte, 3,900 at home in Detroit. I went with the bargain of the week looking for that slot receiver.

opportunity. I'm going Josh Downs, 3,400. Okay. Josh Downs for Anthony Richardson against Houston. And then I went with the New York football Jets, 2,700 against Dallas. Could have gone Cardinals? Or sorry, could have gone, I think. Giant? No, probably the Cardinals. Yeah. Could have gone Cardinals at 2,800. Went with the Jets at 2,700. All right. For my defense, I've got the same Jets against the Dallas Cowboys. I think they're a good value at 2,700. Should get some sacks and some turnovers at tight end. I also went with a rookie, but a different rookie. I paid down a little bit for a better option in Luke Musgrave for the Packers. Mike, over to you. Wait, what happened to your flex? I don't have one. Is it Zach Moss? Yes, Zach Moss.

He's a good value of $4,700. Oh, man. You're wearing the right outfit for that pick. All right. So my defense, I have the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at 3,200. So I'm just kind of going with the all-in approach against Chicago. There you go. At Flex, the rookie Jackson Smith and Jigba for the Seattle Seahawks, just 4,500. Hopefully we can correlate some scoring against my quarterback, which means I had to save some cash. So here we go, boys. The Denver Broncos tight end won. Oh, he did it. Adam Troutman, 3,000. You want this? On brand. At home against Washington. More yards than Zachert's last week, by the way. That's nasty. All right. That was fantasy faceoff presented by Draft King Sportsbook.
