Week 11 Studs & Stinkers + Weekly Rewind, Peanut Butter Dwelley Time

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Every football fan is different. Some won't wash their lucky mustard-stained jersey until the season's over. Some insist they can't sit down on third downs and some pick their favorite team because, I don't know, just like football fandom, nobody's life is exactly the same. And that's why State Farm gets to know you, not as a policy number, but as an actual person.

so they can help personalize a coverage plan that's just for you. Whether it's game day or just another Tuesday, State Farm has you covered.

Coming to you from pristineauction.com studios with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Happy to be here. As is Jay Gris. Welcome into the show. Jason Moore is present.

And accounted for. My best friend. My best, best friend. I'm your best fantasy friend. Yes. Best buddy. Mike is finally, he's finally gone down. Jay Gris is here in his stead. I was with Mike yesterday. We were watching all of these fine and not so fine games. And he was slowly melting into the couch.

With the sickness? Just with some sort of illness. He's not a, he's a man of very few words when it comes to like the Sunday event. Like you're, you're normally tilting. You talk a lot like, I'm going to lose. I'm going to lose. That's pretty much it doesn't matter what's happening. I'm tilting at all times watching football. Up 30, down 30, up 50, down 50. I always know the truth that I'm going to lose.

And I'm normally talking, well, I don't look at this, look at that. And Mike just kind of sits. But eventually I look over and he had expired and we got him out of there. Sweet. So. Now we got Jay Grizz. Follow him on Twitter at Jay Grizz FFL with 1Z. We have the weekly rewind today. Some injury news. We've got the studs, the stinkers on the show today. You can follow us on Twitter at the FF ballers. Instagram.com slash fantasy footballers.

And the website, the fantasy footballers.com. It's Monday. We put the call out to the Foot Clan. We've got some very sophisticated Monday pundas, Jason. Would you like to share these with me? Yes, I would. How about Muhammad D. Snoos? That's pretty good. That's pretty good. A couple for DJ here. We've got DJ exclamation shark. That's innovative.

Tis the season. Oh. Chark the Herald Angels sing. Yes, and of course that is DJ Chark. We don't talk about the other DJ. Yeah. Yeah. Spectacular. Break me off a piece of that big deck bar. That's ridiculous. Gerald. Never it? Dud Sean Watson. Oh, Robert.

Wouldn't play. That's pretty good. That sucked. Peanut butter dwelly time. That's my favorite. Yes, that one's great. Peanut butter dwelly time? Yes, I'll be a thing. Do they get to play the Cardinals every week? He wishes. Poop in my big boyd pants, too, ended on a very sophisticated note. I think we've unfortunately had to say that one before.

Yeah, I mean, look, if there is a Monday punday that can incorporate caca, then we will get the job done here at the fantasy footballers. We are willing to sift through 600 to 800 puns. Yeah, just to find the poopy ones. All right, let's get into the rewind. Weekly rewind. Maybe this weekly rewind can begin with your take of the Sunday night football experience. Oh, okay. All right.

My take was I wasted a night. It was terrible. Yeah, no, I feel for you, Jay. The Rams couldn't do anything, and they dominated the game.

So, I mean, that's what it came down to. They were able to fix, they being the Rams, able to fix some of the running capabilities. Their offensive line, actually, I think they might have addition by subtraction here. You know, we were worried they lost two starters, but their line was already trash. Well, it looks like the rookies that came in in replacement, they might be more capable.

than the starters. There was better protection for golf, better running lanes for Gurley. But overall, it was just, it was just incredibly boring. I mean, I was bleeding from my eyes. Yeah, and then what about that hip? Maybe that hip's been holding Tribisky back. Oh, yeah. No, I, you know, I've been saying it for a long time. His hip is an issue, and so he's going to need to take the end of the game on the sideline. Yeah, I mean, so.

Mitchell Trebisky got benched, as he should have. But they're saying it was a hip issue. And I went back and I watched a couple plays where he could have heard his hip. And there were some kind of different stories of it happened in the second half. And yet he got it checked out in the locker room at halftime. So I was like, how did that happen? Is the hip located close to the ego? The hip is about three.

Feet below. I almost went three yards. Three yards below. Got it. Part of the running game situation in Los Angeles simply has to do with committing to it. You know, it's a law of averages to a degree when you commit to the run with Todd Gurley, he's going to break off a few plays. You give him 10 chances a game. You got lower odds. They obviously, the Robert Woods news was shocking to everybody. Yeah, that was mind blowing. Obviously.

You still have replacements. A lot of people threw in. Josh Reynolds. Josh Reynolds, who looked like he was going to have a great game when he broke a long touchdown play, but then that got called back. And then you, thankfully, this is a good Monday night football game. Obviously, having Woods not play this late into the week on Sunday night football stinks, but at least the Monday night football game has options. I mean, you can pick up McColl Hardman. We talk about it all the time.

Maybe he gets one snap, and maybe you're fine with that. Yeah, yeah, that's true. And then some pivots were last night, either to Josh Reynolds or to Anthony Miller or... Some people pivoted to Everett, who in his own right was very disappointing. You could tell this was not the expectation. He played, I believe, only 14 snaps. So there was something going on health-wise. Just one catch. At the end of the game, when they needed...

a big play. They did bring him in. He got a very nice catch, but this was not a he stunk situation. This was a he was clearly injured and barely used situations. Going forward, monitor the practice reports. If he's healthy, I still think he's a good play. Robert Woods inactive last night for a personal issue came out of nowhere, practiced in full all week. Nobody saw it coming, and we'll have updates when we find out whether this will affect more than his activity in last night's game.

Marlon Mack is the big injury news. He fractured his hand in Sunday's win. He was playing extremely well. He did put up a nice fantasy day before departing, unlikely to play. Yeah, they've got the short week. They're playing on Thursday, so he's no chance at that. I mean, he could miss a significant chunk of games to the tune of, you know, into the fantasy playoffs and become irrelevant. But hopefully we get good news.

early on and they say he can miss a week and come back. What if he gets a club hand? Well, that's hard to hold a football with a club hand. And it is his right hand, which is his dominant carry hand. So it really, really stinks, mostly for me. Because in League of Record, I have Marlon Mack. I traded for him. And now... You're not comforted by Royce Freeman finding his way into your starting lineup? No. And then I get to play the guy this coming week who I traded...

Martin Mac from. Yeah. So he would have been his problem against me. Now he's my problem against him. Yeah, that'll affect some fantasy teams for sure. It was interesting. Naim Hines, Jonathan Williams, kind of took up the reins. Jonathan Williams was running very hard in this game. Heinz got into the end zone. We'll see what happens. Both guys went over 100 rushing yards. They can rush the ball there. I mean, they're a running team. So the Thursday matchup.

These are going to be waiver-wire guys tomorrow. Yeah, for sure. I mean, their offensive line is so good that their offensive linemen are scoring touchdowns now. We also found out Matthew Stafford's back injury could end up sidelining him for up to six weeks. That's not great for that team. You did see Jeff Driscoll. Brooks, you played Jeff Driscoll in a league. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. It's an oh, yeah. Well, yes, no, yeah. He was pretty good.

Last week it was like you're playing Driscoll and he goes, oh yeah. Then started crying. It's a Dynasty League and Russell Wilson on by Stafford Hurt and went to Driscoll. Well, you won big score. Brooks, all he said is he goes, I've got to play. That's right. It didn't involve Kenny Galladay though. A little prequel to the stinkers part of the show. Weekly Rewind and News brought to you by the Sleeper app. Let's go ahead and get right into the studs.

This week's fantasy stud muffins. Oh, we said it was coming. Oh, yep. We knew it was coming. Oh, excellent. Josh Allen, the number one quarterback on the week. Mike's start of the week, 21 for 33, 256 and 3. Finally, the big game. The big play to John Brown, too. You know, you hadn't had that deep touchdown yet. Seven for 56 and one on the ground.

It was just a dominant performance. Buffalo, you know, a lot of the writers there are talking about how they've been winning games, but they haven't had any statement games. And yeah, it's the Dolphins. The Dolphins had been winning a few games that looked better, and they absolutely smashed them. It got a little close at the end. Got a little bit closer. Yeah, it did. It did. Part of that is why Josh Allen could have.

The day he had. First quarterback to throw for 250 and 3 and rush for 50 and 1 since 2015. That's a very specific stat. Yeah, it is. Lamar Jackson. Speaking of crushed them. He's incredible. Right now he is last year's Pat Mahomes. He's the cheat code where, and again, Lamar Jackson was not an early round quarterback, right? You think, oh, if you want this year's Pat Mahomes, you're going to have to pay up in that.

First, second, third round, depending on your league type and get Pat Mahomes. No, another late round quarterback who is the runaway fantasy MVP so far this year. It's just unbelievable. To compare him to Mahomes last year, Mahomes had five finishes inside the top three last year. Lamar Jackson already has seven. Wow. I mean, he's also just broke the record.

formerly held by Michael Vic of consecutive games with 60 rushing yards at the quarterback position. He's just unbelievable. His baseline is so extremely high, and his ceiling is higher. We might not know it yet. We might not know it yet. Lamar Jack, they are turning themselves with the way the defense is playing, which, by the way, if you played Baltimore, you had the guts to do it against Deshaun Watson, and it would have paid off in spades. Now, this will be an interesting stretch.

for him going forward. He's got three tough matchups, the Los Angeles Rams with Jalen Ramsey, who have looked great since that trade. The San Francisco 49ers who've been great against quarterbacks, against wide receivers, and then Buffalo. So those three games are really going to be the test here for Lamar Jackson. And now I'm going to go ahead and say he's studied. And he's going to pass the test. All right. Jimmy Garampolo got to play the Cardinals again, which means, of course.
