13:42 ↗

That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to. So that's where the issue comes in. You know, it's like I look at people behind Brandon Cooks. Brandon Cooks was almost the guy I went with for my start of the week. Great matchup against Atlanta. Could absolutely finish as a top five guy way ahead of Hopkins pushing him down.

14:03 ↗

But you've just got to go based on probability odds. Brandon Cooks hasn't been, you know, outstanding Jared Goff hasn't been. So there's a lot of things that go into rankings more than just, you know, that's why like a lot of times people have the questions and we've got to start sit tool. But it's not just this linear ranking where because one guy is ahead of another, you always start that player over the other. Context of the team, your matchup, all those things matter. Absolutely.

14:32 ↗

So that was buy or sell, presented by Pristine Auction, our good friends, our studio sponsor, the best sports memorabilia website of all time. The big bang happened. The universe was created. And Pristine Auction has still managed to be the best sports memorabilia website, where we get all our signed gear. Like right now we got Candy Gallaudet. Oh, Kenny Gallaudet is.

14:57 ↗

He has impressed me very much. But anyways, pristineauction.com, use the registration code, ballers. You're going to get five bucks for your first victory. Your first auction victory. Jason, are you ready to talk about the news? Excited to talk about the news. Okay. News and notes from around the league, presented by sleeper. The NFL media, they are reporting. Alvin Camara is dealing with a, quote, a high ankle type issue.

15:29 ↗

That will limit him in practice. High ankle sprains are a multi-week. They are no good. I mean, that is what Sequin has, right? And he's obviously missed several games, even though he shed his boot. This is weird because they're not calling it a high ankle sprain. This is high-enkel sprain-ish. This is like, is high-ish. I don't know what that means. They're saying there's a legit shot that he plays. However, you also have to look at what the team does.

15:59 ↗

Early in the week, they brought in Travirus Cadet to work out a player who's been in that system before. If they're bringing in other running backs for, quote, depth, that means they're worried they need the depth. You don't, you know, if all your running backs are healthy and good and you've played for three weeks in row, you don't just bring in running backs to be like, I just, I want to add depth for no reason. So I think there is a chance Camara doesn't suit up. And if that's the case, Latavius Murray becomes a,

16:28 ↗

a really good fantasy option. I think the list ends there, though. The Ian Rappaport is reporting Ryan Tannehill will start week seven against the Chargers instead of Marcus Marriota for the Tennessee Titans. This has been kind of that under bubbling fear if you were on team Marioita when they traded for Ryan Tannehill. When you trade for a backup of that caliber and then renegotiate his contract,

16:58 ↗

This is something that can happen. If you're not playing well, which Mariotta has not been playing well for several years now, how are you feeling about Ryan Tannahill being the captain for the Titans? I feel identical to how I feel about Marcus and Mariotta being the captain for the Titans. To me, they are comps of one another. They are both middle to low tier quarterbacks in the NFL. You know, they're...

17:24 ↗

You know, Ryan Tanna Hill is better than your average backup, and very well might be better than Marcus Marietta, but I don't think it matters because that offensive line has been such trash that I think if you put a good quarterback behind that offensive line, they're going to struggle this week specifically. It's a difficult passing matchup. That's why you bought on Derek Henry's running game. They're clearly going to be on team established to run this week.

17:52 ↗

It's a bad rushing defense, a great passing defense. So it doesn't change absolutely one thing for me. Other than in my rankings, the name Marcus Marietta turns into Ryan Tanna. Okay, I got you. In what seemed like a bizarre move yesterday, in the middle of the day it was reported that the Rams were trading Marcus Peters to the Ravens. After losing Akeep to leave, their other cornerback to IR. So they said we don't need any starting cornerbacks. However...

18:20 ↗

Then their real move came. The big splash happened. Jalen Ramsey superstar cornerback formerly of the Jacksonville Jaguars. He has been traded to the Rams for a 2021, a 2021 first and a 2021 fourth round pick, a mighty price for a cornerback who will be looking for a new contract sooner than later. I'm going to go out on a limb and I'm going to say that the back injury that has kept Jalen.

18:50 ↗

Jaylen Ramsey out for the last couple weeks is going to heal quickly and he's going to be just fine. That is, look, I mean, kudos to the Jaggs because they said they're not trading him unless they get an offer like this and they didn't. And he wasn't even playing and that didn't force their hand. And also kudos to the Rams. I think this is a good move for both teams. They're not, this is a team that's playing for this year.

19:19 ↗

They also went out and traded for a center from the, really, I think he's going to move to guard, play guard, from the Browns. He was the number 33 pick in last year's draft. He's been a backup for the Browns, so he's already known as a bust. But they have to, he's probably going to come in and start because they, they lost another guard this week.

19:44 ↗

Chris Thompson has been diagnosed with turf toe. That guy just cannot stay healthy, unfortunately. Deshawn Jackson didn't practice, but head coach Doug Peterson has said he does not practice in order to play. Another benching has occurred. This one's in Miami. The dolphins say that Ryan Fitzpatrick will now be the signal caller after last week, officially declaring that Josh Rosen will start for the rest of the season.

20:11 ↗

Then they bench Josh Rosen in the middle of the game and said, no, Rosen's still the quarterback. But here we are. It's Fitzmagic season again. Yeah. Look, this, this to me changes things. I'm not sure it changes it to the degree where it matters because it's still the dolphins. You're still talking about just terrible options like Devante Parker. But Devante and the matchup this week is it makes everyone irrelevant. Right. Like they're playing Buffalo. Right. So no. I'm out.

20:41 ↗

But if he keeps that job, if Fitzmagic keeps the job, this will sound a little gross. But I actually think Devante Parker and or Preston Williams, but Devante Parker first is maybe a startable fantasy option. You look at the air yards kind of, you know, the thing that this last week, we were talking about Curtis Samuel looks like he's primed for a breakout. The week before, Will Fuller, prime for a breakout. That's kind of where Devante Parker's been at. And actually.

21:10 ↗

The last two games, whether you know it or not, he's been a top 24 wide receiver. Devante Parker has either scored or hit 50 plus yards in four of five matchups. But not against Buffalo this week. Correct. He was absolutely shut out against New England. And against Buffalo, here's the thing. Because it's Buffalo, they'll probably have to go back to Josh Rosen for the next week. Fitz isn't going to look that great. And Emmanuel Sanders, where he left last week with an injury.

21:40 ↗

There was news of optimism followed by an upgraded to full practice. He just needed one night of rest as Wolverine to fully heal. This guy. He is amazing. This is why. You know, I've said for the last, I think, three or four years when we're asked, who's your favorite player to watch? This is why I say Sanders, because he plays like he doesn't care about injury. He's so tough. Because he doesn't have to. Because he doesn't have to. He just heals immediately. And he's a smaller guy. He's just such a technical.

22:10 ↗

tactician that plays fearlessly. I love Manny Sanders. It's Wednesday, so that means your waivers have run reminder to drop it like it's hot. Go see what players were dropped because it happens, man. It happens that fantasy players tilt and they drop players that they should not be dropping. This is how we got Hunter Henry. That is exactly it. How we got him in the league one. News and notes is always brought to you by the Sleeper app. Don't miss a single piece of impactful fantasy news.

22:38 ↗

We would like to thank Untucket for sponsoring today's show. Have you ever wondered why traditional buttonups look so long and so baggy? I have.

24:04 ↗

Yeah, because I don't want to tuck in, like I wear, I have spent my life wearing the button-up shirts and you'll untucked. Yeah. And I look like a baggy mask. It's because they were not designed to be worn that way, Jason. But untuck it has solved this problem. It's the original untucked shirt. It's a modern solution to an old problem with no tucking or tailoring required. No matter your size or shape, these shirts are the perfect untucked length. That is not a joke. They have.

When I need to clean this mess up, I throw on my untucket because I'm like, you, Jay, I'm not tucking in. It's not happening. Look, I'm trying to clean it up. I'm not in school anymore. But I'm still rock and roll enough that I got to keep my shirt untucked, keep it tight, keep it right.

25:30 ↗

Footballers. All right, Jason. Are your pipes warmed up? Oh, is this me? I got to put you on the spot. Oh, man. I just want to say thank you. And I apologize to the listeners. Let's do this. Mail bag. Mail bag. Woo! Jason, more ditching! Very, very nice. Before we get into the mailbag, there's just one thing I have to bring up. Waivers have run.

26:04 ↗

My dynasty team, Jason. Oh, no. Oh, I paid out the nose. Did you? Well, yeah, because it's dynasty and there's very few guys pick up. That's another tip. If you're in a dynasty league, don't be frugal with your. And I was not. And the person who I thought I was bidding against didn't even put a bid in. Al Borland as the Packers. Shame on you.

26:31 ↗

Did you forget? I did. Oh. I went in to do it, and I couldn't decide who I wanted to drop, so I meant to go back. You could drop anyone on your team. I've seen your roster. Thanks. Yeah, that was a huge mistake. Oh, well, I'll let you know. You would not have gotten him because I looked at how much money you had left, and I bid that amount. Well done. Oh. The Lazard King. I spent $67 on him. Oh, on Alan Lazard. What a world.

27:00 ↗

Oh, hopefully he becomes something into the mailbag to answer those footclan questions. You can submit a question at the Fantasyfootbars.com. Click submit a question or our voicemail hotline is available at 302-464 TFFB. Speaking of voicemails, we're going to get into one of those first. Hey, Ballers, this is Laura. I was one of those people who struggled with Jared Gurf.

27:28 ↗

Last week, I lost by two points as he got me negative point five. My question is, do I start him against the falcons D this week, or do you think I should hold on to my grudge? Thanks, guys. Love the show. And Brooks. Oh, and Brooks. Very, very nice. Look, I am a grudge holder. I wear the grudge like a crown. Me and Maynard.
