The Halloween Show! + Week 8 Matchups, Candy Comps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/29

playing from behind and you're throwing the ball a lot and you're trying to play a little quicker than your pace. You're trying to come back and win. Turnovers happen in those situations. That's not what Patrick Mahomes has been used to. And the Kansas City Chiefs defense is objectively bad. So that means Daniel Jones is in play here as a fantasy option. Obviously Patrick Mahomes is in. Tyrick Hill is in. Travis Kelsey is in.

I think you can play Darrell Williams as well. Those four players are probably in your lineup. Nothing else for the Chiefs. So the real interesting stuff here is on the Giants side of the ball, is the wide receiver core. I mean, that's a, that is literally just a carousel of. Who is in? So here's the update. Kenny Gallaud, not practicing on Friday. He's not in. I would expect him to be out. Cadarius Tony.

returned today to be limited. That would give him a chance to play. I expect Cadarious Tony to miss this week. Okay. Sterling Shepard, he returned yesterday on Thursday and was limited. So it seems like he will be out there. Seems like it'll be Shepard, Darius Slayton, Dante Pettis available for this game. Shepard being still questionable.

But if Shepard is active in a game against the Chiefs with a bad defense and obviously a great offense, I have worries of the hamstring. And whenever it continues to pop up, like, I already know he's going to leave this game with a hamstring issue. Don't still say that. I still feel like. I've got to believe. You know, I still feel like I want to play him because he could end up with 10 receptions easy. And Devante Booker.

Over the last three games after taking over for Sakel and Barclay's averaging nearly 18 opportunities a game. The volume is there. The matchup is honestly not that bad. So he is, I'm playing him as a top 24 type of a running back. Sure. Yeah, he is. You have any other notes? I mean, your start of the week because you hate yourself and you hate the Foot Clan is having an ingram. I like to provide a streaming tight end that I think can get it done and have at least a safe floor. Just too many years of.

him hurting people i understand but not games i years i still believe oh man dude he's he's so fast he is very athletic he's too fast for his hands apparently that's what it is he's too fast too fast for his hands i i don't get it man he should be i

He should be awesome. He should be awesome. He literally has the best rookie titan seat. We always talk about Kyle Pitts this year about like... Kyle Pitts is going to break it. Oh, yes. Yes, he should, and I hope he does. But the best rookie titan season of all time that we keep alluding to, that's this dude. That's Evan Ingram. What could have and should have been. The rankings are available at the fantasy footballers.com, including our start-sit tool.

Brooks, do we have any updates while we were performing our show here? I just confirmed that Baker Mayfield will start this week. Oh, okay dokey. Well, there you go. All right, good for the Browns. It's the end of Friday show. That means we have one more segment to take care of. Fantasy Face Off, presented by Draft Kings. Last week's results, I eeked out a victory over Jason by...

about four points. Once again. This is two weeks in a row where we both had great lineups, but you beat me by a couple of points. And then Andy gets to get out of his punishment this week. We're not letting him out of a punishment. Never. I mean, that wheel of shame will just be doubled up next week. Well, it probably won't be because I assume he'll lose next week. Yeah, we tripled up. And then, you know, and so he'll, he'll just keep pushing back week after week after week. All right. Let's set those lineups, Jason.

And I know that you have Andy's lineup ready so that we can also share what he is doing. So at the quarterback position, Andy is going with Matt Ryan, only $5,900. Okay, interesting. It's against Carolina, a tough matchup, but you're saving a lot of money there. I'm going Josh Allen. You're paying up. I am paying up. Is he the most expensive QB? He is. And he's the only great one available because.

All of the other great quarterbacks are all either, you know, Lamar's on by Patrick Mahomes and all these other guys are on different slates. So if you want guaranteed points at quarterback, it's Josh Allen. You're going to pay up. He's 8100. That's the way I went. I'm saving money. And this name's going to surprise you, Jason. He's taking on the Tennessee Titans. So I like the matchup. That's my stream of the week. $5,700. I am going with Carson.

Whence. Speaking of hating myself. Carson Wins does not surprise me. It's a great pick. But you're right, because I guess I didn't think about the fact that it is you. Yes. Mike Wright, who is not only endorsing, but personally using Carson Wins for fantasy football. Oh, man, this is going to either hurt or feel really good. It's a Halloween weekend. Spooky things happen. Okay, at Running Back.

Uh, it looks like a couple of great options here for Andy that he was able to save from, uh, Matt Ryan at quarterback. He's got Joe Mixen. Same. And he's got, I mean, Joe Mixon against the Jets. I've been talking about P. Ryan. Joe Mixon's going to murder them. Uh, and, and, uh, Damien Harris, which we talked about. I considered, I considered going with Damien Harris, but I also, I have Joe Mixen as well. And then at 6,500.

Against the Houston Texans, I am taking Daryl Henderson. I have Daryl Henderson as well in my lineup. I think that is a smash play at that price. And I am not writing dirty. I will have Derek Henry in my lineup. So Derek Henry. So you have, you have the top QB.

in salary, top running back in salary. That is true. So you will see where I saved. I started my cash games. You're starting a pair of dirty socks in the flex, aren't you? No, I like this lineup. We'll see how it rolls out. Who does Andy have at wide out? So at wide receiver, this is where he's really got a trio of great options. He's going with Cooper Cup.

Oh, at 9,000 paying up. Keenan Allen at 6,500. Okay. And Chris Godwin, I think Chris Godwin's a great play at 6,400. So he's smashing wide receivers hard. At wide receiver, this is where I save my money to get Josh Allen and Derek Henry. I'm going Michael Pittman Jr. Okay. Only 5300. Your start of the week. I'm going Emmanuel Sanders. Only 5,400. Andy's start of the week. And I'm going Jerry Judy, 4,900.

He's mispriced if he's utilized. Certainly. If he's healthy, active, and on the field, and a great matchup, he should not be sub-5,000. Well, we live in a world of absurdity, Jason, because I'm playing Carson Wentz. You know that means Michael Pittman is in my lineup for the stack. I found a wide receiver who I think is fantastic, and the price is just totally inappropriate. It's Jerry Judy.

from the Denver Broncos turning at $4,900. Oh, man. What a great pick at that price. Let's just keep this going because at 5,400, Emmanuel Sanders is in my flex. All right. But that leaves my other wide receiver who I alluded to it during the New Orleans matchup. Chris Godwin. At 6,400, I love both Evans and Godwin, but I prefer Godwin.

And so a lot of crossover at wide receiver between the three of us this week. At Flex, Andy has Russell Gage, saved some cash there. Okay, so he's got his Matt Ryan Russell Gage stack. Yes. The budget stack. And I know about saving money. The budget magician over here. And I have Alex Collins in my flex. Okay. I think that was good, you know, good value at 5300. Both Andy and I have Dan Arnold at tight end.

saving a ton of money down at 2,800. He is sub 3,000. It was really hard for me this week to find an affordable tight end. So he was the guy that fit the bill. And then Andy's got the Washington. Andy is rocking the Washington football defense. Who do you have at tight end? So my tight end, I paid up a little bit. I'm going with Mike Gisicki. The matchup is brutal against the Buffalo Bills, but Gisicki has.

quietly been a dominant force at the fantasy tight-end position. And then my defense, I don't know how you don't pay $3,600 for the Cincinnati Bengals against the New York Jets and the debut of Mike White without Corey Davis. That's where you can catch up on Andy and I. I've got the Seahawks. Okay. Which I think, you know, I've talked about their defense stepping up without Russell Wilson, good matchup against Jacksonville Jaguar. So.

We shall see if Andy can lose three in a row. If you can win three in a row, I would be delighted. We will see.
