Week 6 Studs & Duds + Fantasy Outliers - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/19

I don't know. There's been an accuracy issue with Dak the last two weeks. You've seen it on the field. He took a walloping early in that game. And I wondered coming back after, I was like, is he going to look bad after that play? Because he got smushed. Yeah, if you want to know. And they were getting pressure. I haven't even looked at this number yet, but I bet it's going to be terrible. I'm going to go look. Yeah. So the last two weeks when targeting, like C.D. Lamb.

was 17 of 21 targets. The Tampa Bay game, remember how bad DAC, I mean, they lost that game. Remember how bad DAC looked accuracy-wise? So between the Tampa Bay game and the Green Bay game, 48% catch percentage targeting CD-LAM. And you've watched these plays. It's not CD's fault. I mean, the falling over one. We can take that away. But, like, DAC's just been off. Yeah. And now the team is, what, two and four? Yeah, they're two and four. I mean, that is, talk about the most winnable division.

possible. Yeah, this could be if the commanders lose tonight, this would be like the first time in a long time that the same division have had all four teams play in back-to-back weeks and all four teams don't win. Gross. Which is tough to do. Mahomes, this was no touchdowns for him. It was worthy, but not worthy of a start because he didn't get any passing touchdowns, had a pick. Bo Nix, we know the story. Oh, man. I'm going to go out on a limb here.

I think Bo Nix will have a very, very good bounceback game against Arizona next week. It's in Arizona. And one of the reasons I believe it is because there's been a report. Did you see this where the terminology report? I saw that, yeah. So like Davis Webb had a certain terminology that he was using. And then when Peyton took play calling back, he completely changed it. I think Peyton wants to kind of settle the narrative on Bo Nix this upcoming week. And we'll see if he's capable of doing it. But going to Arizona, Arizona just upset the Rams.

I expect Boy Nix to have a pretty good week. I don't know if I'm going to go start of the week territory, but I think they'll get it figured out this week against the Cardinals. There is an all-time tweet out there from a big Mike who tweets, Bo Nix has the shortest name in NFL history, five letters. It is still longer than his average depth of target 4.9. That's great. That's great. That's insanity. You see the video where.

They were showing, it was like, okay, if you were a baseball player, this is how many pitches it would take to get the home play. I mean, we'll see, come back to us and let me know what happens. Second half last week, the average throw was behind the line of scrimmage. I could do that. I would hope so. Peyton today says Bo Nix is going to become the byproduct of all the things that get improved, whatever that means. Running backs.

It's rare to get Monday-Punday entries for Bijon Robinson, but they came in this week. Just 9 for 61 in this game where they were getting boat-raced. You'd think he'd be part of the solution to a boat race in the targets. So, yeah, he says, of course he wishes. Kevin Safansky says, of course he wishes he got the ball into Bijon hands earlier. Yeah. We're all trying to find the guy who did this. We obviously discussed Camp Scataboo already. Zero for zero for zero.

Not startable right now. You got to wait for the redemption first. Derek Henry, just 17 for 58 with a fumble. A costly fumble. And then you have down games from remandre. Dude, that one was what? That was very, like we need to look into this. So remandre was bad. Trayvion Henderson did play if you missed that, the Wolverine blood kicked in and he returned. And then, but at the end of the game, Corey Kiner.

was the one getting all the clock killing carries. Well, we did know that Ramandre had been banged up going into last week's game. We thought he was going to miss last week's game. I don't know if they wanted to take the load off there and they obviously can't give it to Trayvion. And then Bucky. Because Trayvion fumbled again, which is mind-blowing. Like you have one thing you can't do right now. They did put them back in after that.

Bucky Irving had 85% of snaps. No Sean Tucker. Didn't get the goal line carry because they threw it. 19 carries. You like that, 46 yards. You don't like that. But we're going to get Baker back. Baker should be back, I think, next week against Carolina. We'll see what happens there. Tyler Algier was awful. It was Bam Knight for Arizona. There's a point in this game where Algier was eight for eight. Bam Knight having a great game against the Rams where Tyler Algier.

Who everyone started for fantasy is just garbage. You guys remember when I took the seemingly easiest lowest green goblin ever with Hampton, 11 and a half rushing yards? Yeah. He finished seven for 18. Congrats. I mean, this is. You sweating? Oh, I wasn't sweating because I didn't realize it was that low. I just thought it was an easy one. Mike McDaniel, they're going into the buy. The Chargers, Hardball looks like he's going to literally.

pass out at the podium every week. He looks as dead as you can look like a corpse. And Mike McDaniel is not surviving the by week. Mike McDaniel will be gone. And in the best part of that will be this show will benefit because taking over for Mike McDaniel will be none other than Adam Gaze. Adam Gaze will be the new offensive coordinator. No. Of the charge. You're calling this? This is my near guarantee. Oh my gosh.

He will be the interim offensive coordinator. Mike McDaniel will be. Nowhere to go but up, right? Selling tickets at the movie theater. Give me a bucket. This is what I think will happen during the biweek. There is no, you can't. That would be absurd. I can't imagine retaining McDaniel through a by week when you're 0 and 6 and your offense hasn't been able to score 15 points or more than 15 points. It's just if Adam Gaze takes over.

I want to know what the checks that these guys would write to not go to the podium anymore in Los Angeles. Because the questions Herbert was getting, but some of these questions, fine. You have a right to ask them, it's your job to inform the public. It's an entertainment product. We're the fans. We get to learn things. But some of these questions are the dumbest questions I've ever heard on the face of the planet. You know, it's stuff like, hey, hey, you know, Herbert.

Justin, what do you think you need to do to get better? Well, I got to go watch the film and I got a, I got to practice and I got to do this stuff. And then it's, well, didn't you do those things the first six weeks and they didn't work? So what else do you need to do? What else? I'm dumb. I just had this conversation with my wife. We were watching the Thursday night game. And I think the question for the coach is like, tell me about the courage you saw. And it's like banished.

Give me control of this. All sideline interviews banished. We don't need them. Who wants those? They're always trash. It's the stupidest questions. They're not even real questions. If you want to ask the team that's winning a question at halftime, cool.

You want to go ask the losing team? But what do you even ask them? It's ridiculous. Yeah, there's just nothing. It's just something. They never ask a real question. It's just something to make noise. They're like, here's my statement. How do you react to my statement? That's not a question. No, no. The crazy part is no one cares about this crap. Those people are paid a big salary blown in and like that's a lot of money. I don't understand it. So basically, let's say you're giving up a bunch of yards to Ken Walker. You go to the sideline and you go, Ken Walker's doing a lot of damage to you. What do you do to stop it?

It's like the dumbest. We're trying to. Yeah, what do you think we're doing? Our tackling scheme is wrong. We prepared for Emmett. I hate that part of football so much. It's just a bunch of like, it's just production fluff. Yes. It isn't substantive. No. And that I am. I hate it. If we can just unite against like these follow up insults that the reporters give. Because that's what they're not, they're not follow up questions. They're follow up insults.

It's a way to say something. They're trying to get them clicks. Yeah, it's a way to say something in the form of a question that is a pure insult to see if the person will respond with a they are who we thought they were type of thing. You're ugly. How do you respond? Yeah, it's like. What? Look, everybody out there noticed how bad your coaching was. Why is that? Yes. That's what I mean. Dude, sometimes. Some of that is really, really stupid. But I do think you've got to put pressure.

on these coaches. You know, like, if nothing comes, Mike McDaniel needs to lose this job. Like, should, has to. And I don't know if that happens. It won't be because of the media pointing out how bad he's been. It will help. Well, it could. You can. It could. Like, I'm fine, but, like, react to it on your sports shows. Like, we're doing it right now. But why are we talking to the right? I get what you're saying. Are we on wide receiver ducks? Yeah, yeah. AJ Brown.

We talked about it. One of the worst games imaginable dropped five. He was a double agent. He could have had a monster game. Yes. He should have had a touchdown in at least 70 yards. There is some footage of him or a clip I have him running around. Giving that to AJ Brown. Go watch. Go watch, Mike. This dude's moving at like 38% speed. He came back a week too early. Michael, I agree with that. Michael Wilson, four for 32. I mean. Jacoby percent sucks. Here's what's weird.

Well, he does. The Cardinals won, by the way. Yes. While scoring 18 points and no touchdown? Nearly identical stat lines the last two weeks for Michael Wilson. So you let go of Marv and the last two weeks. It's time to shine, Wilson. Four for 30, four for 32. Now, would you have said that the Cardinals had a good wide receiver room? No. When Marv was there.

Yeah, I would not. I think most people would say, like the past catchers for the Cardinals were pretty good. Michael Wilson is good. Marv and Kendrick-Born. Suddenly, it's Jalen Brooks and Kendrick-Born under the two-three, and it doesn't feel good. Marv needs to step up right now. Marv? Well, yes, I stand by it. Also, Michael Wilson needs to step up. He's on pace for 165 targets, awesome, and not a thousand yards, which is difficult to do. But Jacobi Berset is not pushing the ball down in the field.

I know they won the game, but they won the game on field goals. The Cardinals have not been scoring. They are going to be a low scoring team. Last week they put up 21 points, but remember that 14 of those points came in absolute garb, like fourth quarter garbage time. They were so blown out that he's playing against nothing coverage, easy, peasy. It was false. You know, they played Denver this week. Are they going to score a dozen points? The Cardinals, no.

The Cardinals have given up in successive weeks, 31, 36, 36, and 45 points. They just held the Rams. Is this Lefleur knew what to do? They held the Rams to 16 points. Is this the he had the secrets? McVeigh has got to be melting.

There's this dude on Instagram. If I knew your name. I don't need this. I could be announcing on Amazon. Have you seen the dude on Instagram that do the impression? Yeah. And he's got the point of hair right up in the front. Yep, yep, yep, yep, yep, yep. Uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, yeah. Let's focus, positive on the negatives. Positive on the negatives. Yeah, he's hilarious. It's rough. The Rams are sitting in last place behind the Arizona Cardinals in the division. They're behind.

Oh, because they just lost. Oh, my gosh. The NFL is drunk all the time. We didn't even talk about the Browns winning. I'm so curious Super Bowl odds. I'll bet the Rams are still. Oh, let's get it. Let me guess when you get there. Okay. Let me and Mike guess who we think of the top three Super Bowl contenders. Yeah. Okay. I mean, Kansas City is a foregone conclusion. That one's done. Buffalo's in there. Kansas City's in there. What's the third team? It's got to be. Is it?

San Francisco? Yeah. That's got to be your top three. Okay. So you think the top three are who? I think the top three are the Chiefs Buffalo and San Francisco in some order. But we're not including Minnesota in there? No. No, not with that offense. It goes Niners first. Bill's second. Chiefs third. The next highest is probably Baltimore. Baltimore is the next highest. Okay. Let me see if I can keep this going. We've got to get the next two because the next two are important. Can you give me a conference?

I can give you a division. That's a bigger hint. I don't want the bigger hint. I want the smaller hint. Yeah, it's NFC. Both of them. Both of them. Packers are one of them. No. No. That's why it's... It can't be the Packers. Think about what I just said. Oh, Seattle? Yes. And the Rams. Yeah. Yeah. No, that's fine. Rams are sixth. Yeah, that makes sense. At two and four.

I can give you the team. I can give you the team name. And no one can score on them. We know what we got there. A regular season team right now. Are you kidding? After the Rams, it goes Jaguars, Bears, Patriots. Let me tell the story a different. Let me tell the story a different way, Mike. Okay. The story goes like this. Patrick Mahomes, Josh Allen, Brock Purdy, Lamar Jackson, Matthew Stafford.
