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

Tank Biggsby or Shipley. Shipley, I mean, this team is... I mean, we're about to talk about the game. Let's go right into it because the next matchup is Carolina 2 and 2 at the Eagles, 2 and 3. The Vegas line is Carolina minus 1.5. That's got to be changing. I mean, that's going to go up to 2.5, 3 and 1 half. Over under is 40 and a half in this game. Like you said, things are falling apart. You just don't have... Like, I think I would start 0.0 eagles.

You could make the argument for Damian Pierce. That's the floor play. That's the argument because, I mean, it was going to be fun. Yeah, the books took the lines down right now. Damian Pierce was going to be fun this week. Late change out of Hertz. You have to run the ball. And the, I mean, the only way that the Eagles can win this game is if they can control the clock and run the ball and win defense. And you can run on Carolina. You can run on Carolina. So.

Pierce last week was 11 for 14 for 1.3 yards of carry. Yes. So you are dancing with the devil. You definitely are. That was Jacksonville. He's got a very good run defense. So it's a different situation. I'm not saying. Right, but Pierce is off of a practice squad. Yes. So there's a. We're not saying that Pierce is at top tier talent, but this is a, it's a pure volume play. I bet the Panthers know what they're going to do.

Yeah, they will, but can they stop it? Yeah, yep. I think they can. Probably. If you told me Damian Pierce had 17 carries for 43 yards and no touchdowns, that makes sense. I mean, there's got to be somebody else than Pierce getting snaps too. Is somebody else on that debt chart? Have we heard? I'm not touching the Eagles offense, man. Their implied point total with Hertz was under 20 points.

Oh, it's awful. It's terrible. That's just where I'm going. But I'm playing Damien Pierce because I have to. Well, that's a good reason to do it. Yeah, if you have to play a player, we recommend doing it. Yeah. But I mean, if I were you, Mike. Yeah, I would be, I'd play Tyler Algier with the injury to. Sweet. Can you trade him to me? No, I'm just saying if I had those decisions. I get what you're saying. You're not actively going to go look for somebody other than Pierce? I will.

I mean, it's very difficult in most leagues. Most competitive leagues. You wouldn't play Julio McLaughlin for the Browns? No, I would not. I don't think I would either. I have no idea what that is going to shake out to. I feel confident that Pierce will at least get volume. Opportunities. Then it's up to him. And the R.J. Harvey, Mike, your favorite guy? RJ Harvey against Seattle or Damien Pierce. I will never. I will never. I think I would go. Kim Ray Miller or Damien Pierce.

Kendry Miller's kind of interesting this week. Kendren Miller has gotten enough work. He's kind of interesting this week. Najee Harris. No. Pierce strong. Nope. I think I'm Pierce over most of those guys. Only Kendra Miller was a questionable, but compared to Pierce there. Play Chuba, play Tet McMillan. Jalen Koker is back. Are you willing to try him out against the Eagles? Eagles have been vulnerable against wide receivers. If poker plays, I'll put him out. And then Darren Waller, who has been limited.

toe injury. I hate seeing any limited coming off of a buy. And a guy, especially like Waller, who seems to just always have something hurting. He's been around 50% of snaps. Waller is a, would you play Waller or would you play Henry, Hunter Henry? I think I'd go Henry because Waller is really a touchdown play. I don't see Waller going out there and having a game where he has 65 yards.

in this matchup the eagles are pretty good against uh it'll be tanner mckee for them is that the next man up i mean that is on the depth chart wise we'll see what they oh yeah because they just cut um Andy Dalton did straight cut him after that he came in and threw a pick yeah Tanner McKee is number two what do you do with brys young is he a viable spot start here honestly some of some of this like news with

The Eagles being worse. Yeah, it shakes your upside. It shakes the upside. It makes me less likely to play Bryce Young, not more likely, just because, you know, if they get up or they don't need to go out there and score 30 and sling the ball around, I'm more hesitant. I don't think he's not in my top 12. So if you're in a single quarterback league, you probably have better options. Got news that Stefan Diggs will not practice today for the commanders dealing with the hamstring injury. Yeah, they're Monday night, so this is his.

Wednesday. Yeah. Yeah, you hate to hear it. He sounded like he was not close last week. That's the harder part with older players coming back from those injuries. It takes more time sometimes.

We'll get into the fantasy face off, and I'll take another shame back to back. I was really feeling good and had a nice three weeks of now. I'm back into where I'm comfortable. We really appreciate that. It's big of you. Eagles, Carolina is now minus three and a half. Total is down to 38.5. It'll keep moving. Moving on down. Yeah, I would, that'll be a slog. That'll be a mess.
