Jason acquires the Steelers defense from another host during the previous day's show as a counterpunch and specifically to beat Josh. The defense scores negative one, costing a roster spot and gifting Josh a point. Later Jason reframes the negative score as intentional generosity because his Dak–CeeDee stack has him excited. The transcript never names the league, so this is not labeled League of Record.
Jason says he is not someone who laughs after being startled: he instantly becomes angry and cannot do anything about it.
The hosts restate that every Friday thanks the FootClan with a $100 FantasyChamps gift card for a jointhefoot.com supporter, then announce H-L-A Lover 2000 as this week's winner.
The hosts say Andy froze on the YouTube feed, confirms it, and explains that another host jumped into the silence rather than interrupting. The other host says the freeze was so complete it felt like a simulation. Checked frames around the exchange show a normal three-host split, so the production glitch is dialogue-reported rather than visually preserved.
Jason is directly called the Cam Scataboo guy and says there is no world where he benches the rookie, regardless of matchup. The desk then separates Skattebo from CMC, Achane, and Jonathan Taylor by declaring that he alone eats crayons, lead chips, and rocks.
The hosts admit they were Charbonnet bros at draft time, but Kyle's live lookup gives him the league's highest zero-or-negative-run rate at 32 percent. Because Walker remains available, old support becomes 'Sharbs, sit down.' Before the Monday game, Mike is promised rage whether Walker succeeds or fails; Charbonnet domination is labeled both the worst case and impossible, and the desk says the former favorite is now Walker's antithesis and treated like Rhamondre or worse.
The hosts explicitly call Arizona their home team and admit that spite, anger, and disappointment are present. They say they rewatched older Kyler Murray film, compare his former 7–0 version with the current one, and conclude he avoids standing in for hits under pressure, drops his eyes, and looks at his feet while Jayden Daniels and Lamar keep watching receivers.
Andy retracts Giants over Denver before recording ends, asks for the Almost Upset drop in reverse, and invokes chess's hand-on-piece rule. An unnamed producer who already backed the old pick is called a loyal soldier. The drop formally installs Atlanta over San Francisco, later fires again by mistake and technically leaves Andy with no pick, then fires once more to restore it. Direct video keeps the ordinary Atlanta–San Francisco matchup lower third throughout; no separate reversal graphic appears.
After the Fantasy Faceoff hot streak collapses, Andy accepts the Wheel. The physical green wheel visibly passes Iceman, Looney Tunes, and Jerry Jones and stops on a blue WEINER wedge. Andy then wears an oversized hot-dog headpiece with a yellow mustard stripe leading toward his face. The desk calls him the Glizzy King, suggests extending the mustard line down his face, and Andy calls himself the Wiener of the Week. He remains visibly costumed through the picks.
All three regular hosts are named and directly visible; no host is missing and no Jay Griz prop occupies a chair. An early weekly-rivalry beat reveals that Jason acquired the Steelers defense from another host during the prior day's show specifically to beat Josh, only to score negative one and spot Josh a point. Jason later celebrates needing no defensive help because he has the Dak–CeeDee stack. A separate cast confession says that when Jason is startled he becomes instantly angry rather than laughing it off. FootClan Friday repeats its weekly $100 FantasyChamps giveaway and names H-L-A Lover 2000 as the winner. The episode also reports an on-stream production glitch: Andy froze on YouTube so completely that another host thought he was in a simulation and jumped into the conversation. Jason's Cam Scataboo devotion continues. He is directly called last week's Scataboo guy, says he would never bench him regardless of matchup, and the desk places Skattebo alone among elite running backs because he eats crayons, lead chips, and rocks. Seattle's backfield produces a longer loyalty inversion. The hosts admit they were Charbonnet bros at draft time, Kyle supplies the league-high 32 percent zero-or-negative-run rate, and Walker's presence converts their former support into 'Sharbs, sit down.' Later Mike is promised unavoidable Monday-night rage whether Walker succeeds or fails; the only outcome that could stop the rage is Charbonnet dominating, which they call both worst case and impossible. The hosts' Arizona Cardinals fandom is explicit. They say their home-team anger is partly in the analysis, compare present Kyler Murray with an older 7–0 version, fault him for refusing hits, dropping his eyes, and looking at his feet, and contrast him with Stafford, Lamar, and Jayden Daniels. The core ritual is Andy's Almost Upset. He retracts Giants over Denver while the show is still recording, asks production to reverse the drop, invokes the chess rule that a move is not final until the hand leaves the piece, and switches to Atlanta over San Francisco. An unnamed producer is already financially in on the old call and is called a loyal soldier. Later the prior drop fires again by mistake; the desk rules that Andy has accidentally undone the replacement and now has no Almost Upset until the drop is played yet again. Direct-video checks show the standard Atlanta–San Francisco matchup lower third throughout, not a special reversal graphic. Fantasy Faceoff then sends Andy to the Wheel. The physical wheel visibly stops on a blue WEINER wedge, and Andy puts on an oversized hot-dog headpiece whose yellow mustard stripe runs toward his face. The desk calls him the Glizzy King and Andy calls himself the Wiener of the Week. He remains visibly costumed through Faceoff. The transcript's later 'It's you, Jay' is an ASR rendering of an address to Jason during pick order; direct video shows the three regular hosts and no bear. Routine matchup advice is omitted.
The fantasy footballer studio is sponsored by Walmart. To the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Friday, October 17th. Shaking my head after that Thursday night game. Welcome into the fantasy footballers. Ooh, 33 to 31. I know. The world wants to hear our reaction to that madness, but what a game. Exactly how everyone saw it going. I remember asking you earlier in the week, like, are you excited for this game? You're like, yeah, maybe. Yeah, maybe. Maybe we'll get lucky. It was awesome for many, many players. It was very not good for others, but.
I hope you played your Steelers tight ends, right? Yeah, I mean, AFC North, you know, just how it always goes. Yeah, it's a hard-nosed, rough and tumble. Defense first. 13 to 10. No, 33-31 Bengals, 342 yards passing for Joe Flacco, three touchdowns. Joe Flacco, I saw something this morning. He now has the same amount of wins as Joe Burrow in games in which the opponent scored 30 or more points. Wow. It's very specific, but... Well, I mean, it's not that bad. It's just literally if the Bengals give up 30, can you win the game? Yeah. And Joe Flacco managed to do it. He passed the ball to Jamar Chase 23 times. That's what we're talking about. It reminds me a Brandon Marshall on Monday Night Football years ago from Jake Cutler. I can remember it clearly because he had like 17 catches on 20-something targets. Right. I mean...
this was throw it to your best player on every play. It wasn't just throw it to your best player on every play. It was, we got two plays. Oh, good. My favorite part of the game by far. And it was routed. It was amazing was when there were four identical routes and passes in a row. You're saying that to end the half. Yeah, to end the half. And it was just like, hey, uh, tomorrow's run 15 yards go to the left. I'm going to throw you the ball. Four times in a row is going to work. They can't stop it. No. The final drive, he got more open than he did all day after 21 targets. I don't understand. Like, oh man, the don't get me started on the Steelers defense. So they didn't have one. I couldn't, I couldn't believe how bad. It was like they were playing eight guys on defense. You were, you were, uh,
people don't know this but you traded for the steelers defense from me yeah mid show yesterday yesterday to play them great great defense that's been on a heater you got how many points oh i got i got negative one so i spotted josh a point and got rid of one of my roster spots that was but i traded for that it felt like you were counter punching my justin jefferson trade Yeah, oh, that's true. You're, you're Justin Jefferson trade. And you want me. I got to, I got to make a move. I got to make a move. I got to beat Josh this week. So I need those negative points, man. The game. It also was like, it reminded me of Joe Flacco. Yeah. Right. Like, hey, I messaged the slack like halfway through game. I've seen enough. Turns out the Cleveland Browns were actually the problem. It was not Joe Flacco.
And that's why Mike Tomlin didn't like the trade. Yeah, because that cost them a game. No, for sure. With Jake Browning there? Oh, there's no chance. No, no, no. 31 to 3. It would have been. When we were like, you know, can Joe Flacco really change things for the Cincinnati Bengals? And it was, I mean, just go two weeks ago. After seeing what Flacco is doing on the Browns, yeah, you've got to have some hope, some optimism that a change will be different. bringing up, like, Joe Flacco is just, he's a veteran quarterback. He can make reads real fast. So the offensive line, while it's a problem, Joe Flacco can actually identify where I got to go real, real quick, more than Jake Browning. And that had, I actually think this, I hope this doesn't come off too hot takey. But it honestly feels like Joe Burrow behind this offensive line was doing worse because he was trying to do more.
Maybe. Flacco's so afraid of getting hit and knows he can't buy time in the pocket. I was watching the defense like a hawk for the Steelers because they were my fantasy defense. And it was impossible. You couldn't sack him because the ball just was snapped and out. snapped two steps out. Snap three steps out. And it's like you can't, you know, JJ Watt was was, was, was doing great. never got to him. I mean, he'd beat his guy. And by the time, frustrating that must be. Oh, it, it was frustrating for him, frustrating for me more. And, um, and so it was like, I kept having that thought during the game of like, man, I wonder if they make the playoffs and Joe Burrow comes back. He needs to like learn a lesson from this. Like, because Joe Burrow is better obviously today than Joe Flacco, but he took sacks that killed drives because he's trying to make something special. Right.
just like it would be an amazing performance if joe flacco had been there all year long it's even more amazing in the fact that he just showed up and if you saw the post game interview with him and jemar chase he was like we got these play calls to have like f at the end he's like i don't even know what they are yeah he's like i don't even understand what they're calling did did you see the the the uh quarterback read the run oh yeah that was unbelievable oh my that was not called Oh, that was not called? That was Flacco. Joe Flacco's like, it's my time. Yeah, got to call my own number. It was insane. I mean, Jamar Chase, if it's any consolation, I traded you, the Steelers defense, Jason, but then I faced Jamar Chase last night. And it's a little better. Like, I. My week's over. And to all the people, like, would Jamar Chase, trying to remember where we were two weeks ago is like, what do you possibly do? And I was.
If I had Jamar, I would have traded him. I was going to say, like, I would have traded him. Somebody went online and they were calling us out for saying that we would have traded him for Q. This was a time before Joe Flacco when you had Jake Browning doing nothing in this offense. The fact of. I wouldn't do that now. I wouldn't have done that before this week. I'm saying like when, even when they traded for Flacco, you weren't, you know, two weeks ago like, well, this is the solution. Well, maybe it could be slightly better. And the Browns media. We're only two weeks. Maybe. Maybe.
Teams figure out how to get to Flacco and stop this. But this is so exciting. Yeah, they gave up 31 points still. They still did that. They gave up 249 and 4 to Aaron Rogers. They made Pat Fryer Muth, but Lutheth man in the world. But like T. Higgins having himself a great game, six for 96 with a touchdown. The Chase Brown went over a hundred rushing. There was one big disappointment in the game. 100%. And look. And the D stands for disappointment. 249 and 4. Yeah. That's what Aaron Rogers threw out. I mean, I mean, the streams unbelievable. Oh, Joe Flacco is so absurd. Rogers and Flacco being streams coming through in huge ways. But 200, 249 and 4 clearly D.K. Metcalf had himself at least a very good game. I'll take it one step.
Further, right off the bat, a 39-yard pass to D.K. Metcalfe. That means he had 11 the rest of the way? Yeah, I mean, it was like, oh, D.K. He didn't get a target. Johnny Smith scored, Darnel, Washington scored, and Frymeath, the three tight-ins. Believe second and third quarter. Second and third quarter, I don't think D.K. Metcalf got a target. And what was- Just the way Arthur likes it. Yeah, tight-ins only. That one felt, oh, so bad. Because everyone on the, everyone that you played on the Steelers side, great. Jalen Warren. Absolute dog. Full workload. 16 for 127, 4 for 31 through the air. The, what, I don't know if you guys noticed this, but so, you know, the, the last pass there at the end before they set up the Hail Mary, which shout out to Aaron Rogers, still cannon armed. Unbelievable. Still cannon armed. Did you know? 70 yards in the air. It was like 68 point something, but it was the longest.
passed through the air since 2017. This version of Aaron Rogers did that. I can't believe he got to do the end zone. Yeah. But the, you know, they ran one play because like, we got to get a couple yards to set it up. And you're like, obviously he's going to go to D.K. Metcalfe. No, he went to Fryermuth. I think he just went to the end zone, man. No, no, no. Oh, oh. The, the, the short yardage play. It was like Aaron Rogers in that time where he's going to just go to the guy that he trusts to make a play.
At that point of the game, he's like, I'm not throwing it to DK. I'm throwing it to Mewth. You guys have seen the clip. Wild. Of Aaron Rogers after he's getting prior muth touched him where his own, his own guy comes up and celebrates with him kind of jumps on his back accidentally. He tackles him because he's old and I get that because it's like gigantic offensive. And he's a gigantic offensive lineman. But he wasn't tackling him. He was jumping on his back and then Aaron Rogers is all and fell down. And Aaron Rogers gets up. And he's like, get off me. So pissed off. And I get it. I get both sides of it. Yeah. But also is the most Aaron Rogers thing. Oh, it is. Just what a cromuchial. I get, I get startled. My, I go, I'm mad. I'm not a startled like, oh, I laugh it off. I get startled. I instantly get angry. There's nothing I can do about it. I mean, is there anything else? No, I mean, Jalen Warren was good. Everyone was good. Freaking D. K. K. Except for D.K. MacC., who was below average.
Well, not only below average, the interception. Yeah. It was just. Oh, yeah. It was him. He just there. The Bengals are like, give me that. All right. It's Friday. Foot Clan Friday. Every Friday we say thank you to the Foot Clan, and we give a $100 gift card to fancychamps.com to a supporter over at join the foot.com. Oh, boy. This week's winner, H-L-A lover 2000. Okay, yeah, we'll go with that. Congratulations. Thank you for supporting the show. Join the Foot.com. You got a hundred bucks to fantasy champs. Let's talk news. News and notes from around the league. Presented by progressive insurance. Well, we had one of the wide receiver shoes drop officially, formally. Pooka and Akua ruled out for this week. That'll be nice for your lineups being able to set some.
things up. We're still waiting on like Abuka and Harrison and Garrett Wilson's doubt. Oh, no, Gary Wilson. He's doubtful. He's got a chance. Yeah, we need to. A chance of a multi-week injury. We talked about this. Like, I think we'll put this into play next year, but we'll let doubtful start to go into the IR. Yeah. On sleeper. I mean, if that player becomes active and you want to play them, you still have to drop somebody to move him back into the lineup. So I don't think, I don't think that's a big deal. All right, David Najoku did not practice again. Chuba Hubbard limited on Thursday. Calvin Ridley did not practice on Thursday. Stefan Diggs limited. Any concerns from that group? I mean, Najoku is not going to play, I don't think. I would agree with that. And then Chuba is the one I'm most interested in just to see that RICO resurgence, or surgeons, we should say. Is that? I don't know if it's really a resurgence. I know he was good at the end of last year, but he's never done what he's.
done this last two weeks. Like he didn't rush for a thousand yards last year? A lot of guys rush for a thousand. No, they don't. It's like 57 yards a game. He's rushing for 200 yards a game. There's different things. That is. You're moving the goalpost, man. Jason, once again, surgeon's not a real word, but I get what you're saying. Yeah, you know what I mean. Yeah. And Jacoby Myers, Brock Bowers didn't practice. Seems like both are going to miss. What do you do? Let's ask the question briefly here. Uh, Is Trey Tucker the number one? It seems like it for now, yeah. And then, like, because Jack Bash, he played 75% of snaps. He had zero catches last week. Thornton did nothing. Yeah, well, Thornton is off the field now. Bash is just the back to the dynasty hold. But now you're going to move what I'm saying is if Jacobi Myers and Brock Bowers are off the field. Yeah, then is Tucker. Who's the spot start this week? It's Tucker? Yeah. JJ McCarthy Limited again.
Carson Wins, a full participant seems like Carson Wins is going to play. DJ Moore returned to a limited practice with the- Oh man, it's going around. Yeah. DeAndre Swift was added to the injury report because of a groin injury, grindindex.com letting us know. And this is a- There are quotes on the matter. Yeah, this was a later edition. So it's a little scary. Manongai. Kyle Monongai should be rostered. Yeah. Probably already is. Yeah, probably, but guys like that, yeah, they go on and off of the waiver wire. C.D. Lamb is going to play. Terry McLaren looking not good again. Yeah, man, what is going on there? He didn't practice on Thursday after a limited Wednesday. It's not really working well. I had this thought. So we talked about how the holdout guys over the last several years have not had a great run of getting back to football when they hold out of training camp.
obviously, you know, with Brandon I. You could tear McLaur in here this year. Is that like Rushie Rice, who is not holding out, but also he was like not able to practice, right? I don't know. Sure. There is definitely some of that to be, it's a variable. The, when the guys are doing the hold in though, I feel like they're at practice just. Yeah, just standing around. Just standing around where Rishi Rice, I mean, per the video. Yeah. That dude is the comeback. Yes. Because the world. The world is against me. People are, we're very eager. How dare they be upset of my breaking of the law? They were very eager to let me know as though we had forgotten that he's coming back from an injury as well. Oh. But, but the truth is that if that's why he was missing time. He was healthy and would have played in week one with the injury. He was already in training camp and preseason. So he had, as far as I'm concerned, you returned from the injury.
when you played in preseason right okay was you returned his ankle was okay on an accelerator there and by the way this show we make jokes all right i know that he's not o j simpson all right that was a a funny little joke all right it's being hyperbottling it was me picturing oj making a comeback video you were just that's the funny part of it just taking a stab at it oh Thank you, Jason. I'm joking. That's a Norm MacDonald joke. Hey, Debo, by the way, Tom Pelliserro, your boy, Mike, real uncertainty about whether Debo or McLaren will be available. What is the, who's the pickup for you? Is it McCaffrey? Luke McCaffrey. Is it Jalen Lane? Tell me why it's Trelon Burricks.
Wait, did they sign him? Yeah, they signed. He's not ready to play. He's not going to be starting this week, but they did sign him. Well, that is still indicative of injury issues and concerns. Yeah. I mean, if you go out and sign Traylon Burks, that's a good indication that, like, they're concerned about McLaren and Samuel in their wide receiver room. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Well, Debo, Terry McLaren on red alert there. Quentin Johnston, he's supposed to be back. Yeah, he got. I mean, at least on Sleeper, I thought he got upgraded to healthy. So still was limited on Thursday. Monitor that. Josh Downs, no practice, concussion. He's not going to play. Like he's going to be out. And we'll talk about more injury situations in the matchups today. That the CD Lamb news. I don't think we said it on the show, but Andy, you told me that there was a quote from Schottenheimer about whether you are frozen. That was so, that was, that freaked me out. I thought I was in a simulation there.
If you go to the YouTube, you straight froze. I did. You, you jumped in and I didn't want to interrupt. But the Schottenheimer quote, what was it about whether or not? Are you concerned with, you know, what does you have to show you? How do you know? What do you have to show in practice this week to make you feel good about him playing? And he just said if he's breathing. Yeah. Also then yesterday there was the. So reporting now he is breathing. It was Schottenheimer's birthday, apparently. And he said, this is my birthday present. I mean, it's a big deal. It is.
All right. Anything else you want to chat about? Freeze me on. That was News & Note, sponsored by Progressive Insurance Quote today at Progressive.com. Progressive Casualty Insurance Company affiliates and third party insurers. Not available in all states or situations. Coverage subject to policy terms, limits and conditions. All right. We'll take a break and jump into the forecast. Fantasy Forecast, presented by prize picks. Yesterday we covered the Rams Jags, the London game. We covered saints, bears, dolphins, Browns, Titans, Raiders, Chiefs, Eagles, Vikings, Panthers, and Jets. And we'll move on to the rest of the matchups today. Still monitoring a few weather situations. Again, we, you know, when you're talking about it on Thursday, there's a long way to go between Thursday and Sunday morning and how things change. We've had lots of games that look bad that end up fine. The Cleveland's Miami game. Well, there you go. Wait.
Breaking news. Sorry, McClorin officially ruled out already. So he is not coming back. That escalated. Also escalating the reports for weather in the Cleveland game. Like these are moving worse now? Well, it's just moving from a, this could happen to now it's moving to, uh, like this is a shout out to Kevin Roth who's saying his models. Now we're looking at. trending to a sustained winds of 20 to 25 with gusts around 40. That's bad. Like he, you know, he keeps an eye on it and he tries to be pretty measured of just pay attention. It's moved into the, uh-oh. With definite rain is what I see. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. But if it's like rain, I don't really care about unless it's a torrential downpour, but rain when you have 20 mile an hour winds, that's a problem. All right. Well, speaking of a problem.
This implied point total for the Giants is a problem. The Giants are two and four. They travel to Denver to take on the four and two Broncos. I just want to party with the Giants. I know. And the Denver Broncos are. The Vegas line here. Denver minus seven over under is 39 and a half. Right. Right. Is that help? Yeah. Andy's almost upset of the week. That's a big line. Yeah. I got some room there. The Giants implied point total of 16.3. Broncos 23.3. I think this game will be closer. I mean, the Broncos have been a very up and down team. They haven't looked great. You know, some weeks they look great. Some weeks they looked inept. Yeah, they're not like just having a slightly off week. They look real bad on the weeks that they're off. Now, they're at home. They're heavily favored. They got a great defense. You expect them to put a lot of pressure on the Giants and Jackson Dart and Scataboo and company. But I still think that.
the Giants will be able to keep this thing close. They have a good defense of their own. And the way that the Broncos have played, you know, do they get it going again? We'll see. I'm not saying that they're going to lose the game, but I think it could be a lot closer. On the giant side of the football, Jackson Dart, somehow still only rostered in 54% of leagues. That doesn't make sense to me with the rushing upside of Jackson Dart. Not that you have to play him, nor would I probably play him here with the risks involved. You know, you can have a, I mean, Justin Fields is an example of you can have a very ineffective passing, low yardage game, but big fantasy day just by running the football. Yeah, I think he's probably not rostered because the schedule is tough. It's Denver this week. It's Philly next week, which obviously that's who he just was the quarterback for against, but you don't really like. He was at home in that one. He was at home. There was no Jalen Carter. You know, it's like you don't expect him to repeat what, you know, that magical win against Philly.
I'm sure they will be huge underdogs despite just beating them. So that's the tough part about rostering Jackson Dart. I do think he is certainly fantasy viable throughout the season in the right match. Will he run for more than 50 yards? Like he has for his first three starts? Not in this one. Just because Denver is very good at Denver. Yeah, the mobile quarterbacks are not getting it done. You have Daniel Jones had two yards. Herbert at six. Jalen Hertz at three. Justin Fields had 31. Yeah. Yeah, no, it's a good point. You can't quarterback run on the Broncos. You were the Cam Scataboo guy last week, Jason. You gave us the, you know, encouragement to play him in what seemed like a tough matchup. We're here again. It seems like a very tough matchup, seventh against the run. There's no world where I'm ever benching Cam Scataboo. I don't even look at the matchup personally. The matchup is irrelevant when you are getting 20 opportunities a game. And what he did last week in helping cement like...
The new giants means that the opportunities will still be there this weekend. So 20 opportunities. Maybe it turns into a bad game and a tough defense. He scores nine fantasy points and you're disappointed. But I'm always going to take the opportunities. You'd have to have, you know, you'd have to have Josh Jacobs and Jonathan Taylor to be like, okay, I've got to sit down scataboo. There's only. four running backs in the last five weeks that have been in the top 24 every week, and he's one of them with CMC, A Chan, and Jonathan Taylor. Scataboo right now. He's the only one that eats crayons of that group. He is. He loves crayons, lead chips, rocks. You know, Scataboo in week one played 12% of the snaps, wasn't really involved. His first rookie game, and including that game, he's the running back 10 in fantasy football. Goodness gracious. He's dominating as a rookie. And it's nice because.
If they're up like they were last week, he'll get 19 carries and probably be scoring a touchdown, and that's why they're up. If they're down, like in previous weeks, he gets seven targets, eight targets. He's involved in the passing game. Well, they don't have receivers. I mean, Wondale Robinson is there, but Dary Slayton has hurt. Little Jordan Humphrey up from the practice squad to be their leading receiver last week. Theo Johnson seems touchdown or bust. We should just call him Jordan Humphrey. But that's not his name. Yeah, his name's little Jordan. He's so big. He is a big guy. He is the juxtaposition. Yeah, he's little Jordan. A little oxymoron. Yeah. Yeah, is that that's, yeah. Like jumbo shrimp. Yeah, like jumbo shrimp. Yeah, what is the size status of Lil Wayne? Oh, he's, he's small. He's little. He's small. Okay, so he is a teeny tiny. He is little way. Hmm. Yeah, okay. Math checks out on now. Mm-hmm.
J.K. Dobbins, what's the temperature check on J.K. Dobbins, the giant's defense? 100% the same as Scataboo to me. This is a guy. He's not getting 20 opportunities a game, but he is getting enough work. He had a very bad game last week, and so people might go, oh, I want to move off of them or pivot off. But he is the guy, like the utilization was still there. His usage, 78% of the running back rushing attempts last week. And so this is the Giants don't have a great run defense usually most of the season. They're, you know, ranked 24th and schedule adjusted against running back. So to me, Dobbins and Scataboo are in. Obviously, Corlin Sutton, Andy's, your start of the week should be a good bounceback player. Yeah. Biggest question to me is Bo Nix. Yeah, I think Bo Nix is a fringe. He's a fringe starter depending on what you have. And I don't.
think I'm really like settling into Bo Nix being here every week start at all for the rest of the season. I wouldn't feel comfortable with that going into the playoffs. Yeah, I can agree with that. Let's just, so Bo Nix, Giants this week, it's not bad. It's not, you know, it's just middle of the pack. Dallas next week. Yeah. Okay, dokey. That's good stuff. Fire them up. Delightful. Houston on the road, not great. But then Vegas, okay, Kansas City. It's kind of a red light green light situation. Yeah, it really bounces around, honestly. So pick up another player. Yeah, you might need to do a little your own bench streaming. Well, you can look at the strength of schedule tool on the website, streamfinder tool and try to identify some players. Anybody else on that side of the ball that you want to talk about? I mean, RJRV is not playable right now. The wide receivers, mims and Franklin and all them not playable right now. Yeah, if I'm doing anything.
This is a deep league type of a situation because it's a little bit. But there are rookie Pat Bryant who had a lot. There's a room. He had a lot of offseason hype going around him. I think it was a third round pick. You know, Sean Payton talked glowingly about him. We liked him in the offseason. I liked him in the off season because the number two was not established for the Denver Broncos. It seemed like at the beginning of the year, Troy Franklin is going to take that job and run with it. And he was doing okay at the beginning. The snaps have decreased while the route participation for Pat Bryant has increased. So this isn't a this week, but it's a pay attention that Pat Bryant might be coming for that job. The Indianapolis Colts, the number one seed in the AFC at 5 in 1, take on the 4 and 2 Los Angeles Chargers, Chargers.
