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

43% of the team's work as in 43% of the attempts or the targets. Like for context, Jonathan Taylor's at 40%. Walker, Ken Bone Walker is at 45%. Raylan Allen is a full three-down running back right now. And the matchup, it's not as scary as you think. Don't love if we get into a shootout situation, but Raylan Allen, the volume is going to be there.

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...

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, or 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-most-mothed. Dude, I tell you. 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 look 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 Denzel Boston. Yeah, there you go. He's getting the most.

You're getting them off. 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 Leporta last week. I think Higby is a great play this week. The last three that played Arizona likely killed the Cardinals. Kitto 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. Seven targets is huge. And nine targets. Yeah, but 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. 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 one. 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, I think he caught a two-point conversion. He, look, he's still there. He's still on the field.

The matchup is their Raiders, 26th and 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 tell him Kincade. We'll find out.

But I'd say, I'm playing. You're all on the right. I'm on the league of record team. I am playing. Let me, let me make the case. I am not pivoting. The case for Dalton Kikade is this, that he only had 12 completions and the week before. Joe Brady said, we have to get him a bunch more targets. Yes. 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 this will be. Will you be out? 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 buy week. So that you might get bailed out. All right. That starts of the week brought to you by Apple Card. Applying the wallet app on your iPhone today.

I want to throw out a quick note here for the many of you using the ultimate dashboard and the end 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 like 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 buy. The Bengals, Dolphins, Lions, and Vikings head off to a break. And let's start in London. The Houston Texans at 1 and 4 against the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are 4 and 1. They stay in London for another game. Jacksonville minus 2.5, and this one overrunners 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? No, of course not if you're an Arizona fan. 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 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

We've, you know, we see all the clips all season long, all off season long. Marv has looked in practice like he is a slow, 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? 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 the other news of, like, all other teams were like Marv was worth of four. 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 23.5 yards. I think it's like 28 now because other people are doing...

this but i i just doing this well i just think it's so obvious to me and i am willing to be 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 his prize he's not ready his prize picks projection 20 and a half receiving there go 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. Marvin 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 Crosky 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?
