Starts of the Week + Week 6 Games, Hurts Hurt! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/15

My wide receiver start of the week is Matthew Golden against the Cowboys. We discussed earlier in the week. He's on pace for over 1,300 receiving yards, a 21% target share in every game this year. Both these teams are going to score a bunch of points. It's going to be a fun one. But them Cowboys and Jordan Love, six most yards per target giving up to wide receivers, consolidated for Green Bay amongst Watson, Golden, and a little bit of craft mixed in.

So we're starting to Packers. Start the Packers. Yeah, yeah. Seems that way. It's a good strat this week. Wide receiver, I'm going a little deeper here, but I think it's a really good matchup for Trey Tucker, wide receiver for the Raiders against the Bills. Look, I want this game. It's a 53.5 point over under. The Bills defense is not good at all. They are.

terrible against wide receivers. Obviously, the number one wide receiver for the Raiders is Brock Bowers, but someone else has to get it done. The bills, their defense is on tired legs, a short week. They were on the field for 78 plays on Monday night against the Rams. And Trey Tucker is, I think, going to be the beneficiary here. He's been out there like four for 40 every week. This is the type of matchup that I'm, I'm.

happy enough to put him in. You've got Nailer who might be back, but it's kind of out. There's really no one else there to throw the ball to. I have some thoughts on that where, like, I do think people are going to be making decisions around players like Trey Tucker this week. You have Jemar Chase on by. You have Amman Ross St. Brown on by. You have decisions to make around flex spots. Two other guys that are in that consideration for me with Trey Tucker, at least one other one I'll mention real quick, is Kendrick Bourne of Arizona. Kendrick Bourne in Arizona is now coming into a higher profile role. I had a really hard decision.

between Bourne and Tucker to make. I think both are pretty viable this week, so it's good to get that name out there, Mike. Both are viable. I mean, those guys will get targets. I'm playing the match up against Buffalo. I'm going with Denzel Boston. Now, pay attention. He popped up on the injury report yesterday, but he was limited. It sounds like he will be a full go this weekend. But as of right now, he's good. He leads all rookie wide receivers and receiving yards. Denzel Boston, the second one.

Chosen by the Cleveland Browns this year. He's earning volume. It's not just touchdown. Seven plus targets in three of the last four games and the matchup. The Ravens have allowed the six-month catch. Six-moth-mothed. Dude, I am deceased. I am deceased. Six-most catches. Six-moth. The human torch was denied a bank loan and the fifth-most yards to. Oh.

Look at this. If you're watching on YouTube, we have a new. We've got the hit man. I don't know how you got a photo from me of last night. That is you, isn't it? That's what I looked like. That's how I feel. That is a lot. That was a picture of you at a punk rock show at 43 years old. Yeah, yeah, yeah. On a Wednesday night. Yeah, yeah. It was awesome. Play Denzo Boston.

Yeah, there you go. He's getting the mothed. He's getting the moth. Tyler Higby is my start of the week at tight end against the Arizona Cardinals. Five plus catches 60 yards in three straight games, gets the Cardinals defense that doesn't know that tight ends exist. C. Sam LaPortea last week. I think Higby is a great play this week. The last three that played Arizona likely killed the Cardinals. Kid will killed him. Leporta killed him. Higby will kill him. Mm-hmm.

And I'm throwing Dallas Goddard back in the lineups. Look, he didn't have a huge week last week, but he got back, returned from injury. Nine targets is huge? And nine targets, yeah. I'm just a production off of those targets. They weren't that great. But now he gets the Panthers. Last two tight ends to face the Panthers. Harold Fanon, seven for 51 and two touchdowns. Sam Leporta, eight for 84 and a touchdown. Dallas Goddard is really necessary to this offense. It's a really good matchup for tight ends, and he's absolutely in my lineup.

Oh, gosh. Really? You had a decision to make after this past week, and this is where you're going? I'm strapping them on, baby. You're going to be deceased again. Go on. It's Dalton Kincage. Oh, we are, we're riding. Hey. What kind of underpants? Yeah, it's just steal. Those are just steal? Yeah. Fool me once. Fool me twice. You might need more protection. Fool me thrice. We're going to find out.

He did fool you thrice. What is the fourth one? What is that called? Quad. Look it up. All right, producers, where do we pay you for? The routes are still there. They're still there. Believe in the process. Somehow, Josh Allen only completed 12 passes. That's fair. Like, that's, that's not. He did get a two-point conversion, didn't he? I know Donald Kinca, I think he caught a two-point conversion. He, look, he's still there.

He's still on the field. The matchup is there. Raiders, 26th in schedule adjusted points to the position. Buffalo's team total. Their implied total is nearly 30 points. Josh Allen's going to have to complete more than 12 passes. They can't do that every week. I know he's Superman, but if that's what they're playing is, Superman will perish. You can't have Josh Allen do all of that every single week.

I'm going to trust the matchup. We're going to go one more time. It might be our last ride. We'll Dawn Kincaid will find out. But I'll tell you, I'm playing. You're all on the ride. This is a league of record team. I am playing. Let me make the case. I am not pivoting. The case for Dalton Kincaid is this, that he only had 12 completions and the week before Joe Brady said we have to get him a bunch more targets. Maybe the passing game was just non-existent. This will be the week that that happens. But I also hate the part where he's like, I got to get him more targets than he had one catch.

So I also did not like that part. Like what will you do? Let's say he goes, it's Las Vegas, right? Right. Let's say he goes out there and it's three for 14, no touchdowns. Then we probably have to hit the eject. They're on by. Yeah, that's true. They're on the bi. So that you might get bailed out.

All right, that was starts of the week, brought to you by Apple Card. Applying the wallet app on your iPhone today. Subject credit approval, Apple Card issued by Goldman Sachs Bank, USA, Salt Lake City Branch, terms, and more at AppleCard.com. We're going to take a break and get into the matchups. All right, it's week six. Fantasy Forecast, presented by prize picks. I want to throw out a quick note here for the many of you using the ultimate dashboard and the in-season app for the fantasy footballers. Make sure you go out there and get the update that released.

yesterday before the weekend hits. Just some improvements to the frequency of statistical updates hitting the app even if you keep the app open. There were some issues with some people close apps. Some people don't. We just made some improvements basically for the efficiency of the app. I'm just mentioning it because thousands of you use that app every week and I want your data to be the very best. That's right. So go get that update. The Chiefs and Panthers come back from the by. The Bengals, Dolphins, Lions, and Vikings head off.

to a break. And let's start in London. The Houston Texans at one and four against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are four and one, they stay in London for another game. Jacksonville minus two and a half in this one over, under is 42 and a half. That line isn't big enough to where I would hit the button, but I do think the Houston Texans, I like them and the points personally. We get to see the debut.

of the newly energized Marvin Harrison Jr. who joins his collegiate quarterback. We know. This is an Arizona question for us. Do we want him to be good? Oh, man. Do we want him to be good? It's a great question. Of course not. But kind of because. Oh, to make us look dumb? Yes. And get rid of what? Bidwell. I'm just throwing it out. Do we want him to succeed or do we want?

Failure. I got a horrible news for you. The Cardinals will never be sold. I know. They are the oldest franchise in the NFL owned by three generations of men named Bidwell, and they will never be sold. Winners. There are billboards going up in Arizona right now of which Jason paid. I am participating. He did participate in purchasing billboards to try to persuade. I don't know. We appreciate you.

Yeah, I mean, there's thousands of people in Arizona right now that are trying to campaign to get him out. But you're right. It won't happen. Regardless, we're going to find out if Marvin Harrison Jr. was slogging it to get out of town. Right. Because he's smart or if he's not that good. I will say that I, you know, we see all the clips all season long, all off season long. Marv has looked in practice like.

He is a slow tight end. And now the first practice videos that we're getting from Houston, it's like, whoa, where's this guy been? He's not even hit the field yet. He's just like practicing like he cares. And maybe it took getting out of Arizona. I don't blame him for that. That is probably the most exciting thing to watch for in this game. It is a divisional matchup. And he's bringing excitement to the team. So I don't mind.

saying that Houston might win this game. How often do I bet? Very little. Not much at all. Yeah, so like on a year, how many bets do I actually put into a book? Maybe 10. Maybe 10 bets, right? Yeah, less than one a week. There is no bet in the world I am more certain of than Marvin Harrison Jr.'s receiving yards over this week. When you trade a second and a 5-6 swap, when you have the amount of news coverage, when you have a guy reuniting with his quarterback,

you have you have you have the other news of like you have all other teams were like marv was worth of four i right so this team you need to validate your decision so there's validating the decision and then there's just math you're going to give him targets if you told me that the cardinals were going to give him 10 targets this week i mean his over was like 23 and a half yards i think it's like 28 now because other people are doing this but

Doing this. Well, I just think it's so obvious to me. And I am willing to look like a moron because that will make us look smart for getting rid of him as Cardinal fans. But I cannot imagine he doesn't get a pile of targets. The only thing that could step in the way of it at this point would be he's not ready enough. His prize picks projection, 20 and a half receiving. There you go. Go hit that more.

I mean, I'm just, the only thing, like I said, if there's not enough practice time and you actually have really limited snaps, that would be the problem. But do you think that's going to happen? You think Marv's not taking the field over a Hutchinson snap this week or a Jalen Knoll snap this week when you've got, dude, I'm telling you, the Cardinals suck. Arvin Harrison's fine. I'm now with you on that, Jason. Play Nico Collins. Woody Marks, he will have the backfield do himself. It is a brutal matchup against Jacksonville. This is a.

floor play situation where you pray for a touchdown or a goal line opportunity for Woody Marks. He has more juice than Monty does, and he runs very hard, but I don't think, you know, would you play Jacori Kroski Merritt or would you play Woody Marks? Oh. JCM's been playing well. That's a fair question. I think I'm, I think I'm, I think. I'd rather have the, the, like he's going to get all the work.

So much of it. And he'll get some receptions as well, where Bill probably won't. On the other side, Parker Washington had the huge week last week. Are you messing around with any other wide outs for Jacksonville? No, I don't think so. I mean, it's not a good matchup, I think, even though it looks that way. You know, Domingo Ryan's took over the defensive play calling. I guess what I'm saying is I don't buy in to the five weeks as being definitive for the Texas. Correct. I think you have to be correct. What happened last year?

the defensive line and the pass rush that they have, it would it would blow my mind if they end the year. Like right now they're 31st, like they're one of the best, the second best matchup against fantasy wide receivers. And they have the personnel to not be that way. Last year you just couldn't target them. I'm still hesitant to believe that they are one to target. I'm super happy to have Parker Washington in this game. I mean, where we drafted him yesterday shows

I believe this is a wide receiver one rest of season in fantasy football. So regardless of the matchup, Parker's going to be in there. And no one else gets enough snaps or targets to be reliable. You've got to have a really great start. You know, if they were playing against the Bills and this game was, you know, 54.5 points, yeah, I'd take a shot on a Brian Thomas Jr. for catching a bomb touchdown, but not this match. All right. On the season, Mike, I don't know if you're aware, C.J. Stroud, the quarterback 9.

adding Marvin Harrison. Makes sense. Trevor Lawrence on the season is the quarterback what? What do you think? Trevor Lawrence? Yeah, I just told you Stroud's the nine. Makes me think 10 the way you said that. 12. Okay. So who would you play in this game? It's a neutral site. Yeah. Well, I mean, it's like half Jacksonville home. It's fair. I would play Stroud. I would play Lawrence. Okay. I'd go Stroud. Bayshald Tudan, get them in your lineup.
