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

At some point, you would transition to Mendoza. Yeah. There is now a realistic outlook where maybe Mendoza does get to redshirt the whole season, which I think would be great for him. I put that at 95%. It would also be great for Ashen Genty because when Mendoza comes in, the offense is going to slow down a little bit. He's not going to target Ashen Gently quite as much as Kirk Cousins is. So.

If Kirk can keep the job and, you know, if you've got Gentie, keep rooting for the Raiders to be in these games and win games and keeping those off. Injury to Kirk is the more likely way that switches, I think. Yeah. But the top three wide receiver scores outperformed any week that they had last year for the entire season. Tatt McMillan, 38 points. CD Lamb, 32 points.

It's very weird to get 32.8 points with one touchdown, by the way. Yeah, 17 receptions will do that. Nico Collins. Ah, Nico. Big game on the return. Poor one out for Taekwon Thornton. Yeah. Wide receiver 4 on the year. On the week. I was like... Sorry. He's out probably for the year. We'll see. Puka Nakua back in business with 23 fantasy points. Yeah. And it was a down week for Devante Adams as a result who dropped the touchdown.

But Adams had his worst year. Or worst. I can't. Weeks years. What are they? You guys talk. Well, I know who doesn't listen to our show. And that's Mark Ingram. Mark Ingram went on a tirade on X talking about how he hates fantasy. He's into fantasy now. He clarified that. It was because he's got Teterola McMillan on his bench. He's very sad. It's a strange decision there, Mark. Yeah. Jason's start of the week. Yes, sir.

Nice when the start of the week puts up the greatest game in his career. That's helpful. That's helpful. Romeo Dobbs into the end zone two touchdowns. Keon Coleman keeps looking good guys, six for 11-16. Yeah. I didn't, I'm looking, I didn't realize C.D. Lamb crossed all the way to 21 targets. Yes. It's just like. It reminds me of the Brandon Marshall days. That's the one that I remember having with Jay Cuddy. And Fitzpatrick. Yeah, he had a couple games where like he was in the high 20s. But yeah, Romeo Dobbs, you know.

Pay attention here. If he's on waiver wires, he might be. You have an injury to Mac Hollins now. So Romeo Dobbs is looking pretty spicy until AJ Brown gets back. I'm going to make a prediction right now. I think AJ Brown plays before Jordan Tyson plays. Okay. So I think that's going to happen this year. Carnell Tate, Malik Neighbors, some other guys getting it done. Darius Cooper, Red Zone. Red zone reindeer? What was that? That was Kyle Rudolph back in the day? What, five receptions for Darius Cooper on the season?

Three have been four touchdowns. Yeah, it's tough. There are zombies trying to break into our building right now, by the way. Did you guys hear that? I did. That is a zombie apocalypse. Should we be concerned? It is probably, but I don't think we should be locked. Is that door locked? Yeah, it's locked. Matt's slow. They'll get him first. Oh, that's true. That's true. We watched him in a race, and he was so much slower than I thought he'd be. You cool if they eat you first for us? No, not really. I could beat you in a race, too.

I still gave Josh way too much grace on that race. I was new. I was taking it easy on him. Uh-huh. You just, we didn't even bring up that it was Papa Josh that beat you. We left that one out and you're like, yeah, just let the world know that Papa Josh. I wanted to take it easy. Yeah. Bologna. Bologna. I heard it all. You wanted to annihilate his. He didn't have the right shoes.

Something else happened. Papa Josh doesn't have one of his ACLs. If you put an old man in a track suit, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't beat him. You know what I mean? What if you put him in old man jeans? Yeah. He ran an old man jeans. And I do mean old man jeans. Like these things are so, you at your age, in hiking boots. Yes. Yeah. Versus Josh. Maybe high heels. Josh could be in the most aerodynamic. What's the age gap? Could you be his father?

Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. I'm amazing. Brother. Good time for a break. We'll be right back. We did get news that Rashon Slater. It's a high ankle sprain and I'll miss a lot of time. For the Chargers. Just their tackler. I would say that sucks. I was like, I want to be like, oh man, that's terrible. Their offensive line has been bad. It doesn't matter. I mean, just. Who are you more embittered towards right now? Definitely the Chargers. Herbro? No. Herbert himself or Jalen hurts himself? Uh.

Oh, just the man. Yeah. Just the men, yes. It would be Jalen Hertz by himself, because I do think there's a lot to blame with Herbert. Herbert deserves blame, but McDaniel, I'm mad at him, the offensive line, I'm mad at them. I'm not really mad at anyone else. Oh, Harbaugh. I'm mad at him. Okay, good. I just didn't want to go on forever. There's really no one I'm mad at. Well, I guess a little Sean Mannion. I'm disappointed in Sean Mannion over for Philly, but it's Jalen Hertz. Jailen Hertz.

Jill and Hertz completed 12 passes. Are we ready? CD Lamb had 21 targets. Are we ready for the T.J. Hawkinson return to glory. 18 fantasy points, 13 catches. That's crazy. I brought him up last week in one of our ridiculous start sit questions because he had been in a 19% target. Well, and no Jefferson. And no Jefferson. And T.J. Hawkinson, 13 for 119.

And on 13 targets. And denied a touchdown. A bank loan. Like he did the human torch. No, he, like he did the NFL move of, he could have scored. He could have ran it up. Oh, that's right. But they were the, but Miami was at a timeout. So he just went down on the one to like guarantee the, the victory over personal glory. Uh, Kyla Murray sucks. Yes. Thank you for saying. The menace, like this was, I think. But, but, but.

But my. Yeah, no, they're 4-0. They are 4-0. They beat the dolphins. They have like, I don't-15 points. Kyle, what are the stats about like not scoring touchdowns? It's the first time. I mean, they have two wins out of their four that are no touchdown scored. No offense of touchdown. The offense is horrible. It's so disgusting. But in the meantime, because of how disgusting it is, Hawkinson will just get targets. Yeah, certainly while.

I can't even dunk on Hawkinson. He played well. Yeah, and I would guess we don't know for sure what's going on with Justin Jefferson. If he's back this week or not, he very well might be. However, they do have a buy the following week. So if they can get away with not having Jefferson out there for week five against the New Orleans Saints, T.J. Hawkinson should be a great play for at least one more week. Everybody clicked the drop button on Kyler this week because if you play Tampa and Miami.

and their defenses, and you can't score 12 fantasy points in either game. Ew. Dude. I mean, maybe Jefferson will help him. Please get Minnesota a quarterback. They have one. This is... Carson Wentz is fine. Carson Wentz is fine for fantasy purposes. He's not fine for the Minnesota Vikings. This is a team that should be hotly talked about of. This is a Super Bowl contending team.

And yet I don't either at 4 and no and people like, oh, should, are you think the Vikings that wins Super Bowl? No. No, I don't. So what's wild is I'm like, there's part of me like, why do the Cardinals have Jacoby Brissette? It's like, Jacoby Brissette is 2 and 14 with the Cardinals. They never win. I think he's a better quarterback from Minnesota than Kyler would be. Probably. Probably.

Sam Laporta, big week. Brock Bowers, of course. It was Michael Mayer, and then it was not. It was Brock Bowers. George Kittle, the machine. Look at us. Tucker Kraft, climbing into the top five. Even dropped a touchdown. He should have had two touchdowns. You like the targets. But the drop was on one of the easiest touchdowns you've ever seen. That is correct. It was just, it floated. Just a gentle butterfly kiss. All he had to do was accept it. And he's like, I don't want it.

I mean, I still try to... It was so bad. I try to give Tucker Kraft a little bit of a pass because he missed with the ACL and it's coming back to form. They gave him arthritis. They did give him a little bit of a pass on that one and it was easy. It was funny because Mike and I were playing each other this week. And like, I obviously ended up running away with it. But the first half of my games were atrocious. They were just the worst. Same. I just got the second half. You had Zayflowers. Yes, you just had the second half.

But Tucker Kraft and Devante Adams dropped touchdown simultaneously on two different screens while Zay Flowers is fingertip catching everything. Dude. Oh, man, he's so good. Zayflowers is so good. It's scary how good he is. Yeah, well, he's now his quarterback got a problem. Still got a pro bowler in there. Snoop dog. That joke will just, that joke will keep giving forever. Whenever he starts. Yeah, that one and should do her.

It was pro bowlers. Oh, I forgot that Shadur was a pro bowler. That's right. He got rid of the Pro Bowl. Like, Shadour is the reason that they got rid of the Pro Bowl. I want to call attention to one more tight end. Brent and Strange. Yep. Target share in Weeks 1 and 2 for Brent and Strange? 10%. Target shares in week 3 and 4, 26%. So his receiving yardage and stuff has been going up.

more involved they've been doing a lot more 12 and we'll say the bangles yeah like you can't so seven for 95 against the bangles just don't get over excited because over the last year that's just what people do years and except for a friar meath two weeks ago um and i yeah and i don't think parker washington's only getting three targets

regularly. Yeah, Parker. People tried really hard to give me some Parker Washington bad puns this week, and they weren't good enough to make the show. But they wanted to share their sadness. Parker, Washington. Yeah, Washington. Washington was one of them. Yeah, but he's not. That's okay. They're stupid. He'll be fine. Don't worry about it. Bar for Washington from Papa Josh? Honestly, that would have been good. Parked Washington? Parked Washington?

Okay. That's not bad either. Our team is good. Do we need to do this by ourselves? Guys, this is off the top of our heads. This is just seconds. I mean, we are. This is kind of what we do. It is the only thing we do. 20% analysis, 80% stupid jokes. Martha Washington. What? Okay. They can't all be winners. I mean, that's a little bit of. Why are you got to bring Martha into this? That's a historical. She was a saint. That's a historical. Maybe, I don't know.

Gold mine of a joke. Well done. Let's get into the duds. Pooped in his big boy pants. Thank you for setting the tone for the duds, Kyle. Martha Watson. Matthew Stafford. No touchdowns in this one. Two picks. Ew. Jalen Hertz. Justin Herbert. How about T-Law? Trevor Lawrence against Cincinnati. That whole game.

was a big time bummer. It was. It was not fun to watch. That was one of the 50 plus over unders, and it didn't deliver. How do you feel? So it's really surprising, right? You would expect a shootout in that game, obviously very disappointing fantasy output. But now you've got Philadelphia who just shut down Matthew Stafford and Houston, who maybe gets it together by then a bye week. So the next three weeks, how are you feeling about Trevor Lawrence? Are you still fine?

believing that we'll see what we saw the first three weeks, more out of him, or are you hesitating with these matches? It's fair. I think against Philly, he'll be like a lower, he'll still be a QB1, but lower end. Houston, I'm not worried about Houston until they actually can prove it. Do we actually have to think about Cincinnati is a good defense? I wonder, man. I mean, they, four sacks in three of their four games, they're right there.

Good teams don't look good against them. Like the Bengals were without Jamar for basically the whole game. They were trailing. Like the Bengals had a shot. The defense could have won him another game. The Bengals had a shot to steal the win because of the defense. Yeah. And they play Miami next week, guys. Cincinnati plays Miami. Nice. Bo Nix. Here we are back to, back to Bo. Two completions, 10 yards down the field. Because A.D. was 5.3 yards. Hello.

Harvey checkdowns? Yeah. I also... They'll say you get people to turn on you. Yeah. When you put out an offense that is just disgusting and boring to watch, the public doesn't like it. Public being me. There are two offenses right now where there's just a position you don't want to be in. Maybe it will go three with the Eagles. But like David, well, not David Blow. Davis Webb, right? You've got like this legendary play caller. Who's your head coach? And he's like,

You do it, and let's see how it goes. Yeah, let's see. And then you've got, Dan Campbell's not a patient man, and Dan Campbell looks angry on the sideline. And here you have this new little check-down Charlie offense for the Lions with the blobfish. And I look at that. I'm like, those are two situations where I don't know if the play callers stay the same in the entire season, as crazy as it is. Right. Because wins and losses are going to determine that. Both those teams are two and two, by the way.
