Week 6 Studs & Stinkers + Monday Punday Extraordinaire - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/19

Absolutely nobody that I can trade to acquire Justin Jefferson. There's just no way I can get him. And I love this kid. Eleven targets, nine catches, 166 and two. It is now the third time in four games. He's been over the Hondo mark.

And he's got one of the best touchdown dances. Yes. In recent memory. I don't know what it is about that weird little tap dance eyeglasses thing, but that's great. I want to see it like right now. I want to go pull it up because I just enjoy it. It just gets me, gets me hyped. I can't imagine how good it's going to be in two weeks because he's got the buy next week and he's going to work on it a little bit more. Won't scoring any fantasy points, but he's been outstanding.

And the question here, is he a top 15 wide receiver of rest of season? Justin Jefferson. I mean, that's a tough line, right, even though he's been great. He's going to say he's on the cusp there. He's still the two for his team. I do think with the buy week coming, I've said this before. Minnesota is not a bad team, and I think they'll come out of the buy a little stronger. So I would say just past wide receiver 15. Let's put it another way. Must start. Sure, absolutely. He's a wide receiver two, rest of season.

Julio Jones played. Too Leo Jones. Sorry, two Leo Jones. Ten targets, eight for one, 37, and two. Two touchdowns. You did it, Julio. They said it couldn't be done, but you did it. That Matt Ryan, Julio stack. How'd that feel, Brooks? Oh, no. Yeah, yeah. Dynasty?

Sure was. Did you get a loss, Brooks? Well, TBD. I've got Zeke and DeAndre Hopkins going tonight. Okay. And then what do you need to make up? I want to, I want people at home following along. Do you want to look that up for me? I will look that up. Do some mathematics, let us know. I want to, I'm going to be rooting for you, Brooks. I know that. I'm not room for champ, champ over here. That's for darn sure. Brooks's team is so good. He's got a great dynasty. You are currently undefeated. Is that right? Yes, sir. Oh, well, then congratulations.

on the undefeated record? Yeah, on your undefeated record. Yeah, that stack. Did you think about not playing Maddie Ice, or was that once you knew Julio was in, it was done deal? Once Julio was in, it was a done deal. My alternative was Carson Wentz against Baltimore. So it was Matt Ryan, no matter what. I think one of the strangest things in Dynasty leagues to pay attention to after you've done it for year after year after year is just the way you look at fantasy quarterbacks. And what you

end up having to pay to acquire them. And how, you know, when Carson Wentz was acquired a couple years ago, it was like locked and loaded done deal or parts yesterday's game, I was like, is Jaylenhurt's coming into this game. Right. Oh, I forgot. No guarantees. I forgot to have Stefan Dicks going. Oh, really? Oh. No, he's, he is absolutely in the game. Did you do the math?

I need 53 points between the three players. Oh, that's doable. Oh, that's super doable. Oh, that's doable. I got something to look forward to tonight. I talked way too much trash for that line. I don't like it. Oh, no. Let's go, Brooks. Let's get it done. All right. Well, Fuller, he's getting it done each and every week. Six for one, 23, and a touchdown. Shoot, I'm going to lose.

I'm looking at this line of, I'm like, oh, Diggs, Hopkins, and Zeke, and all you need is like 40 points. Oh, congratulations on your 6-0 team. Oh, now it's the, now it's the pre-apology or the concession. You're going to get a pizza delivered? Maybe we'll look into that. We'll look into that. Sometimes Jason pre-congratulates Brooks by buying him a pizza.

and seeing what happens. Did it work for you last time? Champ Champ says what? Oh, right. I want to talk about Will Fuller, all right? Will Fuller is currently sitting as the wide receiver six on the season. Will Fuller was knocked out injured against Baltimore. He did not have any targets or receptions in that game. If you omit that game, he has scored in four straight. He has been over 100 yards in three of five games. The one game where he didn't score, he was eight for 112.

11 targets, eight targets, seven targets. This is why I was highlighting him last week of saying the overall feeling of Will Fuller had not caught up to the actual production of Will Fuller because week two, he went out. And so it's, oh, it's the same old Will Fuller. He's just going to get hurt. Look, Will Fuller has a very story injury history.

He could get hurt again. That's something that could happen. But the dude is bawling out. He is the number one for Deshaun Watson. And Deshaun Watson is finally erupting and having Monster Fantasy output. I mean, the window is probably closed now. Like this will be the week that finally people are actually bought in on Will Fuller. So, I mean, we need to respect the man. Respect what Will Fuller is doing right now.

This is what you wanted to see. I mean, this is why I went and spin up to get him in Dynasty and hoped and prayed he'd stay healthy. And the sentiment you're talking about, it wasn't just week, too. He also had the hamstring injury before last week's game that made everybody afraid to play him. But isn't he a free agent after this year? I will double-check that. I think that'll be interesting to see what they choose to do. Brandon Cooks has been great, though. I don't want that to get buried. Brandon Cook's the last two weeks has been outstanding. I believe he caught nine of nine targets. Yes, he unretired. Yes.

And what's crazy with Fuller is that he's been consistent. It's not some three touchdown game with 200 yards that's inflating the numbers outside of the week where he literally missed, you know, almost the entire game. He's been a top 28 wide receiver. That was his worst week. And that was against Pittsburgh. So he's just been he's been great. And I wonder if Will Fuller and James Connor.

just gave us all the pump fake. You know what I mean? We're all worried about the injuries. You come out and you start the year and it's like, oh, same old, same old. And now they're just getting it done. Yeah. You are saying that out loud, those scares the crap out of me. It's like week seven coming up. You got to roll with it. You are correct. Andy Will Fuller is, he's on his fifth year option right now. So he will be free agents or franchised by the Houston Texans. Yeah, that'll be interesting to see what they do. This is a big year for him.

in terms of his future. AJ Brown, two more touchdowns. Yep, very good. Dominant. Travis Fulgum, 10 targets, 6 for 75 and a touchdown. This is three straight weeks of fantasy relevance. Has the Giants in Dallas, I mean, at this point in time, we're supposed to get Deshawn Jackson back on Thursday, and I don't care one bit when it comes to whether I play Travis Fulgum. He seems to have established himself as the X right now.

I've seen beat reporters talk about the fact he's going to stay there, even if Alshan comes back. What's your perspective on Fulgum after what you've seen? I saw the same report saying that as long as Fulgum keeps producing, he will be the starting wide receiver. So you're playing him, and the Giants in Dallas, those are two juicy matchups. Jason, Chase Claypool, four targets, four catches, another rushing touchdown.

He is physically dominant on the field. He's one of those guys that, you know, he's taller and faster and strong. You know, this is the second week in a row where he's had a rushing touchdown as well. They get on the goal line, and it's really tough with his length and speed to stop a jet sweep from getting in the end zone. And you combine that with the fact that you have James Connor and...

it's just another weapon. I think he has cemented himself as someone that you're going to start. I know that the matchup was great, right? We were saying before the week that the Browns, you want to play guys against the Browns, but even in other matchups, he just, he's looked great. And it wasn't, you know, didn't he have a really good week one, just a bomb?

reception it might have been week two but i know what you're talking about yes so we've seen it yeah it was week two he had uh 88 yards i i think he's the real deal and he's really made juju i don't know if he's the reason for it's on like it the what we have seen from juju where the production has just evaporated is it's wild i know there's you know juju was a very

contested, like polarizing, polarizing, high emotional when you talk about him during the off season. But he was still a 1,400-yard receiver. It was the questions where can he be the number one? And that was a fair discussion to have. But for a 1,400-yard receiver to just vanish into thin air is.

absolutely mind-boggling. I have no idea. And it's not that he's off the field. He's still running a ton of rounds. He's just knocking on targets. We have five games already because they had the buy week already. And you have him playing 81% of snaps and he's on pace for 620 total receiving yards. It's mind-boggling, man. And here's the headline.

They 100% do not need Juju Smith-Schuster to be successful on this team. James Washington is giving you weekly production. Deontay Johnson looks like an emerging star. Chase Claypool, you've seen the headlines. Eric Ebron, involved in the passing game. You know, Mike, you made the Pittsburgh wide receivers your start of the week. Big Ben only threw 22 passes in this game. That's a season low for him. So you still had production from Washington and Claypool. But.

They don't need him right now. Yeah. They just don't. He's still going to be good for the occasional touchdown. But yardage wise, I believe coming into the week, he hadn't surpassed, you know, 50-something yards in any game. Yeah, it's, and he's not going to probably be there after this year. I can't imagine what he believes about himself being able to point to the resume in the 1400-yard season and what that would equate to from what Pittsburgh wants to pay a wide receiver. Those things are not going to come together. Yeah.

All right, T. Higgins, this was impressive. The rookies are really breaking out. Six for one, 25, Higgins, and a little bit of an unretirement for AJ Green in this game. Yeah, how was AJ Green not on this list? I mean, AJ Green had eight catches. He did. He was usable. He was usable. He had 11 targets. Okay, so he had 11 targets, eight for 96.

That's a good game. In our league of record, that's 13.6 fantasy points. That ain't no stud muffin. That's a solid game, but that's no stud muffin. You don't break 100 yards or get a touchdown. You don't get talked about in the stud muffins. No, no, no. I said a little on retirement. A baby, like he took a few steps outside the facility. I know we have two games left, but he's currently the wide receiver 14 on the week. It was a very low scoring week. That's a good game.

Isn't context everything? Didn't we establish context of everything? Compared to zero AJ Green. This is a stud-muffing game. Let's be happy for AJ Green. You did it, fella. I refuse. All right. Tight-in studs this week. Kittle, he did his thing. We talked about Trey Boo-boo. And Anthony Furkser, nobody played him, but he was eight for 113 in a touchdown. There's no real.

headline there. I mean, like I said, he scored before. He's a really hard work, sir. Yeah. Jason started the week, Darren Fells, seven for, seven target, six for 85 and a touchdown. Last week, as soon as Akins went out, I was saying get Fells out there, Jason this week, started him, signed him, played him, endorsed him, and he was great. Are we going to bring that up? I didn't think we were going to bring that up.

Yeah, I did, uh, I signed fells for our league of record, um, to play him. He was at my start of the week. And then he's on, he was on my bench. I didn't put him in my lineup. Yeah, I, uh, you, you didn't tilt for the, like, the whole day. The rest of my day was ruined. Uh, I had a bad attitude. I went home with a bad attitude. I went to bed with a bad attitude. But at least for.

all the Foot Clan that started Darren Fells. At least you got him. And then we had a water bet, a tight-end water bet. Rob Grankowski versus Irv Smith Jr. And Grancowski had a nice game. Five for 78 and a touchdown. Irv. Almost had two. Irv had a nice game, too. Four catches. I think, how many yards did he have? Irv Smith? Bigger. 50. Oh, it was? Oh, you sneaky snook. So, nice.
