Week 4 Studs & Duds + Jason Hurts, Broken O's - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/5

I went four for four in a way that DJ Moore got forgiven. I went three for three, basically. DJ Moore injured. You hit 100%. We're sitting here and Jason had gone the less than 27 pass attempts for Lamar Jackson. Lamar had 21st half pass attempts. I'm like, I'm good. By the way, the one I missed was 41 yards for Tyler Warren. And he had four. I needed 45. He got 41. So I missed that one. I suck.

Jason ends up with DJ Moore going out, which we don't know. We think Moore would have gotten there. He probably would have. But also if he went out a minute late, like one minute later. If he goes out in the second half. So I'm the shame at three for four. It doesn't. But price picks gives you forgiveness if they, if your guys go out in the first half and he did. But it sucked for Lamar managers and now he's going to have an MRI. There's talk about, he's in a walking boot. They talked about him having a high ankle sprain. I was going to say Betz, Betz says he thinks it's a high ankle sprain. Which that.

That is the worst for Lamar. It's not good for Zay. Well, no, but I'm saying like we're back. We've seen what happens with Lamar Jackson. Oh, it's limited mobility. When he's fully healthy, he is sensational. It's very difficult for a defense to stop him at all. You just got to slow him down. He's been so good this year. He's been great. And then we have seen what happens to Lamar Jackson when his legs don't work. And it sucks. Marcus Mariotta, this sucked.

London. Dude. The London game, Marioo goes out. Zach Galfinacus takes over. And now, Jaden Daniels is supposed to be back in week five, but this was devastating for the offense. Now, Galfinacus threw the ball way, way down the field. What is this actually? I'm not going to pronounce his real name. Well, what? It's very easy for me to say Galfinacus. I know, but they actually, like, he played well. I will call him the Bacl of a bomber.

I did see that people. I'm willing to do that. Is that an actual, I saw some people talking about it. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a nickname. Go ahead and go ahead and read it, Mike. Let me hear his name. I'm trying to. Kaliki Lakka is. That's the name. Kalika Manas. Janus Ante Kumpo. This is his name. No, Kalika Manis. Manis. Confidence. Confidence to. Yeah, I mean. Kalika Manas. I just want to shout out this guy who to be.

From like on a bride throwing Merry Christmas Day. We see quarterbacks thrown into games, right? That like Jalen Daniels. That did not look like an NFL quarterback for Tampa Bay. He had his moment. Jalen hurts.

You know, we see these guys get thrown into action. Nobody has turned on Jaylen Hertz. Jason has been the Jalen Hurts defender for 10 years. This is what happens when you defend, when you take all the arrows for that guy. And then he reveals himself to suck. Jason, he's stepping out of the way and the arrows are going straight to Jaylon. I'm not, I'm not taking them anymore. I mean, I, look, I got a lot of doubles with Hertz.

You did. I won my championship in League of Record with Hertz because people didn't respect him enough. He's done. He's he has fulfilled everyone's prophecy of how bad he was going to be. Jason is so wildly bad. Well, I mean, he has scored. Oh, gosh. He threw a, a.

A pick in the end zone that turned into a touchdown. He was under 100 yards, right? 100 passing yards. Was he? I've got you right here. He finished 12 for 27, 44% completion for 93 yards. He ran for 18 though, Mike, and he also fumbled. He's been bailed out in the end zone by. Yeah, by Cooper. Yeah. We've already had to have, oh my gosh. Yeah, he threw a pick there. Cooper's a man in the end zone, though. That guy owns the painted area.

You have to have the same exact conversation about Jalen Hertz right now that you had about Drake May a week ago, which is you drafted a certain quarterback at a certain spot to be your starter. But, I mean, the last three weeks for Jalen Hertz, he's put up 16, 12, and 13 fantasy points. You have now taken Devante Smith out of the equation. Sequin Barclay was injured in this game. That's another piece of news. They don't have Dallas Goddard in the offense. I don't think that's the big problem.

Well, I mean, it's a piece of the big problem. So are you saying it's hurts? Oh, yeah. Yeah. Okay. Oh, yeah. He also didn't have, he didn't have his true number one wide receiver in this game. Think about a game last year. Just put it this way. Right. Think about you, you had an Eagles game last year, and let's say you said, all right, Jalen Hertz, you have no A.J. Brown, because that's still an absence to me. I'm calling it an absence till it's not. You get no A.J. Brown, no Devante Smith, no Sequin, no Dallas Goddard. Now go out there and win. Yeah.

No, it's not easy. It's not easy. I'm defending him? What am I doing? No, no, no, you can defend it, but then you could say to be under 100 passing yards is like, that's shameful. The NFL researcher. They almost won, dude. They almost won that game. NFL researcher had this nice find. Fewest yards per dropback in a game over the last two seasons with a minimum of 30 dropbacks. Cam Ward's first rookie start.

Brailleen Allen in week 18 of 2025. Trey Lance. Did you say Brailleen Allen? I did. I'm sorry, Brandon Allen. That makes far more sense. Trey Lance and then Jalen Hertz as the fourth worst. 2.19 yards per dropback. Nice. Yeah, it was an embarrassment. Saquan left in the first quarter with a hamstring injury, didn't return. Yeah. Tank Biggsby got hurt and left. He'll be part of the, we'll be talking waivers tomorrow. Yeah, well, we need to find out what happened to tank. Oh, by the way, Lane Johnson also went out.

didn't play in the game. DJ Moore aggravated the shoulder injury, not considered a long-term issue. This was, I thought I was. The first one that wasn't a long-term issue, he heard it again? I thought we were going to get the same thing with Malik neighbors. He went down hard. Yes, he did. He came back and played on it. Different injections, I guess, on those sidelines. Maybe. Jamar Chase left with a concussion. Second major injury, maybe third that we've had with a face mask, like instigating it. Devon A. Chan.

tore his ACL after a face mask penalty. Jamar Chase ends up getting overexposed to basically a double hit. Yeah. Hit to the head, hit to the ground. But they got a 15-yard penalty, though. And Chase never played again, and that was helpful for them. T. Higgins left early with a groin injury. I thought he came back. So he did, but then they reported that, I think on one of the last plays of the game, it was, I saw it reported as adductor. Yes. And so I think that's what we're talking about here.

Rashi Rice, hamstring injury. That looks like it'll be more too weak. If you can visually see when a player, like if you didn't see the play, Rashi Rice had a free first down. Wide open. All he have to do is go straight at a medium base. Yeah, for three yards. He doesn't even have to sprint. A light hop. He would get there. Yeah, you could do. He could have done it with one leg. Yes. He absolutely could have got that. And then he.

pulls something happens with the legs. He pulls up and he goes right out of bounds. He says, I don't want none of that. That was a fun game. Oh, the cheese game. That was a fun game. It was. So, I mean, when that happens, it certainly seems like he will miss a few weeks. Tyquan Thornton. Oh, man. Adrenaline is a hell of a drug. Yes, it is. He caught an amazing downfield pass. Yes. Then got up and tried to stand. And there was, uh, there was no footsie. That clip is not for the queasy. No.

If you can't handle bodily injury, do not watch that. It's dislocated. I'll give you the headline. I'm going to describe it to you. His leg was facing the wrong direction. But he didn't. But he didn't notice. And Tyree Kill, his agent came out and said he expects Tyree Kill to sign with a team in the next few days. Interesting timing there. I mean, I brought that up like a month ago. I said that the rumors. I brought it up on the waiver wire show. You guys shut me down. Yes, I did because I firmly believe that, except the chiefs have now lost.

two starting wide receivers. Yeah, if you go listen to that, we didn't, we shut it down for that week, but we said, you know, in a few weeks, we would be totally fine with it. I think that might, we just didn't know. It might accelerate now. It might have been fast forwarded by two wide receiver injuries. But I don't, he said November, like in terms of being a ready to play football. So this is a tough one, I think, in fantasy, even now in the waiver wire, because if you add Tyree Kill, like, you don't get it. He's not on injury reserve. Like, he's not an out. Right. So you're going to end up with.

Tyreek on your bench, but his actual ramp up to playing football could be into mid to late November. It would just, I think it'll be a tough call on Fab and stuff like that. And what does he have left coming off of the injury and the speed and stuff? So that'll be a discussion for tomorrow. Ladd McConkey aggravated his foot injury. Cool.

So the final nail in the four horse coffin, whatever, I don't even know what I'm saying. Yeah, but there's so many nails in Ladd. I mean, you just keep getting another, you keep being like, oh, okay. Stop trying to come back? He's, he's in here. I won't have to hurt you again. He is, yeah, Lad, take it easy, take a rest. I mean, this is a nightmare. Andy Holloway's coming for you. Oh, gosh. I don't think I've ever actually been the Reaper for Halloween, but this year feels like the right year for that.

Matt Collins left early with a calf injury. Pat Bryant carved it off with a right ankle injury. I mean, his was like the exact same thing as the, it's not the same injury, but the same mechanism as Thornton where the player lands right on their ankle. I won't say if it was a hip drop or not. I'm sure it was. Those ankles, those ankles do not survive hip drops. No. All right. By the way, the charges lost again, and they lost.

Joe Alt and Rishan Slater. Dude, I mean, this is the collapse of collapses. I've never seen something as disgusting as what has happened to the Chargers. They almost battled back. They did. 30 to 13 went to 30 to 23 at the ball. But I mean, don't worry. Jim Harbaal said Mike McDaniel's job is safe. Yeah. Great. He should have said all of our jobs are at risk at any moment. And Herbert also.

Oh gosh, the first half. Oh, I would say it was an interesting game and from the aspect of Herbert through at least two, I think maybe it was just two like horrifically bad interceptions. Yeah, right to the defender. Where it was like, man, I can't wait for the Herbrose to figure out who to blame for this one. And he's like, where it's clearly Herbert. But then he did, he battled back and he got, I mean, his core was being shooketh. He was just getting.

beat up but it was his fault that they were in this position and then he took the pain and then they still didn't win no no still didn't win is the nickname for that franchise yeah we did all we could we still didn't win uh there's some o and four teams that are i mean they're not the only one houston oh man we have a problem nice i mean you how great would it be if like houston played the chargers this week that would just are they do in a couple weeks

I hope they're both winless. And don't worry, charges will lose that game. We'll take a break. We'll talk studs and duds. This episode is brought to you by our friends at prize picks.

Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool. Jake May was the number one quarterback. Yeah, cool, yeah, cool, guys. You ever?

You ever be in a guillotine league where you've just been barely surviving because Drake May is ruining every single week? And you're like, I'm not doing this again against the bills. I'll play Marcus Mariotta. Is that what you did? Oh, yeah. Chop, chop. Yep. See you later. So, Drake May is just on the bench there. I mean, I will say this. The top scores. The waivers, you mean, he will be on the waivers tomorrow. Yeah. Yeah, Mike's getting chopped. The top scores at quarterback were, I mean, there weren't any prolific names this week. It was.

It was actually really low. May, Burrow. I mean, Burrow did not have a great game. No. But he was number two. And then Stroud, Cousins and Rogers. So, you know, cousins once again, get this guy three or four more tight ends and you've got yourself a perfect office. I thought they were going to win that game, dude. You're almost upset. What was the line? The line, I believe, was four and a half. Oh, then they covered. Yeah, they covered. That game was awesome. You see Kubiak at halftime, though. It was 1310.
