Okay, on the other side, Cortland Sutton, what does this guy need to do to get respect from the fantasy community? At least seven targets every game, seventh among wide receivers in receiving yards. He's averaging nearly 80 yards a game. Cortland Sutton is doing what he was drafted to do, second round draft pick just last year, who should have been a first round. He could have, absolutely could have been a first round pick. The Joe Flackle effect was real amongst

56:31 ↗

Us fantasy players projecting Cortland Sutton. But you got to throw that draft analysis out at this point where six weeks in, Cortland Sutton is establishing dominance. Cortland Sutton in a half-point PPR league is a wide receiver one. He is the wide receiver 11. This matchup is great against Kansas City. You have to play him. He is up near the league lead in percentage market share of air yards.

56:56 ↗

Flacco is airing the ball out to Cortland Sutton, and he's doing that because Cortland Sutton is a great wide receiver. And the thing is, is he's only going to get better. Cortland, you know what I mean? Like, you level up coming into year two, and that doesn't mean you're done yet. You know, as the season goes on, he's learning new things. He's becoming a better NFL wide receiver. So Cortland Sutton is a absolute must play this week. And where are you at with Wolverine's long-loss brother, Emmanuel Sanders?

57:25 ↗

He only had the one catch for zero yards last week because he got hurt. Had a really hot start, but has fallen off since then. Are you playing Emmanuel Sanders? Back to back, really, really poor games. But again, like you said, he was a little hurt. The Chiefs are 10th against fantasy wide receivers. That's the one spot that they aren't giving up points, which seems impossible. Seems crazy because they're because quarterbacks are.

57:52 ↗

monstrous against Kansas City. But if you look at that, you know, like Deshaun Watson had two rushing touchdowns, no quarterback benefited from those plays. But I think the truth is they give up a lot of points. And eventually that's going to come through the wide receiver. I am fine starting Emmanuel Sanders. I think he's a good start this week, despite the last two weeks having poor performances. If you look at, it's really funny. You look at...

58:21 ↗

air yards and the team market share players who have a high market share. I just said Cortland Sutton is up near the, you know, the better players in the league at team market share of air yards. So is Emmanuel Sanders on the same team because there is no third wide receiver. And I love those situations. That's where you get a feeling and a digs. That's where back in the day you'd get a Brandon Marshall and an Eric Decker. So, yeah, I think you can start both guys.

58:51 ↗

in this match. Travis Kelsey, eight targets a game, 82 receiving yards per game. He is in for you. Noah Fants played 68% of the snaps this season. He is running a lot of routes, but it just has not happened at all for Noah Fant. Noah Fantastic, as we want to call him. 16 yards last week against Tennessee. Are you playing him in a plus matchup?

59:17 ↗

Chiefs 27th against fantasy tight ends. I should say, are you, like, are you streaming him? I hope not. I think he's more Noah Phantom and he's a ghost out there. Nicely done. Thank you. How long have you been sitting on that one? About 10 seconds. About 10 seconds when I was really happy when I thought of that one. But yeah, no, I look.

59:42 ↗

I totally get it. You could say trust the process. He's out there. He's getting snaps. He's running routes. The matchup is great. But he hasn't gotten it done. And I don't want to be chasing the hope of getting his first big game. You know, rookie tight ends. They take a while for a reason. And so, you know, Vant looks good for the future. But no. Update on practice reports. Amari Cooper did not practice. It's only Wednesday.

60:11 ↗

I have severe doubts that Amari Cooper is going to suit up this weekend. The trusted sources that I believe in expect this to be a multiple week injury, which means obviously, I don't think there's a chance he plays this week, but he could shock the world. Devin Singletary, however, practicing in full. He's a sneaky start. I think you can still buy low on Devon Singletary. For this run, Singletary was being involved in the passing game.

60:38 ↗

They were extra cautious with the hamstring injury. I think he could have played two weeks ago, but they had the buy week coming, and they just wanted to get the rookie to extra rest, which was the right move. Devin Singletary, I'm very interested. Such a sneaky start this week. Against Miami? It's against Miami. They're going to be up. They're going to run the ball. They're going to have success wherever they want to. Devin Singletary looked so good before going down. The schedule we've talked about opens up is brilliant.

61:08 ↗

I would definitely try to scoop him up in a league. If I can, if I can trade, you know, a mediocre piece, you know, here's a perfect example. Emmanuel Sanders, a vet, had a good start to the year, has a plus matchup. I would trade Emmanuel Sanders for Devin Singletary. All right. That's, that's what I would do. That'll do it for today's show. Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for joining us for the fantasy footballers podcast. Tomorrow we get into those matchups. We get into those starts of the week.
