13:37 ↗

And then Kelvin, just pay attention. I don't have any new information for you as of this earlier recording. And at tight end, Ben Watson's the only name to know. He is looking very questionable. And so I said he was already like if he's fully healthy, he's questionable start. Say, are you playing in a three tight end league? No, I'm saying Ben Watson is out. If he's on your roster, get him on the waivers. I think it's.

14:03 ↗

Worth keeping eye on Marquis Lee didn't practice last two days with a knee. Nice one, Brooks. So Brooks, in or out, Marquise Lee? In. Wow. Not practicing two days in. That was interesting. I like it, though. I think everyone should be aware that he is not practicing. He's going to play. He's definitely in. Hey, I got a guess. Hey, there you go. You got a guess. Hey, Mike also jumps on Periscope. Don't forget that. Periscope.tv slash the F. Follers. Every Sunday morning, an hour before game time.

14:33 ↗

You can get in on that periscope action, ask a last minute question, get his perspective on any news that is just recently broken. It's always a good time. Broken. See how his hair is looking that morning? And every third show, he wears a black shirt that's really tight around the neck. So it looks like he's wearing a. It looks like he's at the like barber. Because that's what I'm doing. You're at the barber for some of these periscopes. That's how we get to do it in the 21st century. Absolute genius. Haircuts.

15:02 ↗

fantasy forecast of all the people on earth that people may dispute the claim that you're actually getting a haircut you're up there on the list like I don't think people believe you get haircuts very often I get a haircut every year how often do you get a haircut let's pull the audience how often do you think a haircut is appropriate well here's the thing is it a money thing like you don't know like how often would you get it if money was not an object it's not it's time it's time my man that's fair I have to spend my my

15:34 ↗

Very limited free time going to get a haircut. Pasha. What if you could have it brought into you, though? Like someone shows up, does it like, you know, during a periscope and then leaves. Weekly. Yeah. Weekly one hour before kickoff. Yeah. One hour before kickoff. Got to keep it fresh. All right. Here's the rest of the games. If you missed any of the matchup previews yesterday on Thursday, you can actually go play that episode. It's still free.

16:02 ↗

It's just free as all the other ones that we put out there. The Jets and the Dolphins. They're playing this week in Miami. The dolphins are three-point favorites with a minuscule 38.5 point over under. Josh McCown put on a bit of a show last week against the New England. Do we call it a defense? Is that what it is? Yeah. The New England. The New England referees, am I right? Oh.

16:28 ↗

McCown, Forte. We just talked about Powell. Do you have any confidence starting a running back in this matchup from New York with the whole, you know, trifecta of McGuire, Powell, and Forte? I'll still start Matt Forte. He's the healthiest one. This Belaw Powell actually playing is a little bit shocking to me. So I would expect Forte to get the majority of the work. The dolphins are the dolphins, I mean, the matchup. They're strong against the run, but.

16:56 ↗

Forte makes his points in the passing game anyways. We love Austin Sferian Jenkins. So how much do we love him? Where would you rank him this week? Where do you guys have him this week? I have him very high. I think he's in my top five tight ends this week. I think the matchup is pretty good. He's leading since he has been back. He's leading the tight end position in receptions. He's the clear to me number one target for the offense. And I think that the Miami Dolphins are going to be able to run the ball.

17:25 ↗

on the Jets and score, in which case Austin Saffarian Jenkins will need to be used. So I like Austin Saffarian Jenkins. I'm starting him over most. ASJ or Jordan Reed? When I was making my rankings, that was the hardest decision to come to. And I think what you do there is you look at what you need because I think the floor is actually higher on Austin Saffarian Jenkins right now.

17:55 ↗

But the ceiling has to be still with Jordan Reed. So if you need the big play. You should have two touchdowns. If you need the big play. Well, right. Yeah, but that was against New England. And then ASJ or Evan Ingram, who you have a complete and total lack of respect for. And you don't think they's good at football. And you keep telling people. Clearly, because ASJ has it for. Ingram, you have it way down there at six. Yeah. Well, there's my answer. All right. Just, just checking in. All right. Jay Cutler, Jay, Ajay.

18:24 ↗

The J-Bros, you're rolling out, Cutler has a stream? No. You rolling out J-J-J-J-I? Yes, of course. Is there a, if you had to take a stab at a second wide receiver in Miami? As in not Jarvis? Correct. Jarvis, you're throwing them out there, but is it? It'd have to be Stills. Yeah, because we just said we don't expect Parker to play. Right. But stills or Carew or. Stills. Okay.

18:51 ↗

Yeah, Stills last week was four for 49 with a touchdown. So he had himself a game. And the New York Jets, he could be, you know, a flyer play. But I think color is streamable this week. I agree. The Jets defense, they're the worst in the NFL at hurrying the quarterback. You saw some growth last week. You know, the Jets on the road.

19:15 ↗

I think it's a possibility that you see. I'm going to go two touchdowns for Jay Keller this week. Two touches. Two touches. How many picks, though? Sixteen. The Ravens take on the Vikings in Minnesota. The Vikings are five and a half point favorites at home with Case Keenum. Behind center, 39.5.5. Over under. Give me the under. Give me the under in this one. I still, I have not gotten to the point where I believe the Baltimore Ravens have started.

19:45 ↗

their season. That's how it kind of feels on offense. They are mysterious. They are a strange bunch. What is their current record? I think they're three and three. That's what I thought. That's right. That's right. That's perfect for how I feel about the Baltimore Ravens. It's almost though, it's like a single note on a piano that just keeps playing all year long and you just, you almost tune it out because of the lack of fantasy relevance. You don't play flaco. You don't play any of the whiteouts.

20:15 ↗

Buck Allen is the guy that you can play, but you're, you know, even week to week, you're not super excited about it. Are you excited about him against the Vikings in Minnesota? No. No. The Ravens are a bathtub that I can't decide if it's too hot or too cold. Yeah, so you don't even get in. You can play the Ravens. It's not refreshing. It's not soothing to the muscles. And I say I'd rather stink. It's tepid. I think you can play the Baltimore Ravens defense in this. I realize they're going on the road.

20:44 ↗

But I agree. I take the under in this game. I'm not expecting a whole lot of offense from anyone. If you had to start a non-DST from Baltimore, would it just be Buck Allen? Yeah, it's Buck Allen. I mean, the Vikings have a great run defense, so I have concerns for Alex Collins. You know, Perman, the concussion, Macklin, the injury. If you have to stream a.

21:08 ↗

white out. I mean, it's Mike Wallace. The Vikings are 14th against the pass. They're very stout against the run. So you could take a flyer on Wallace who has flashed a little bit over the last three weeks, you know, as much as a tepid bathtub can flash. But Derek McKinnon, what is the ceiling in this matchup against the Ravens at home? The Ravens, they seem to struggle against the run or more so eventual yards go up because they're so good against the pass. The fifth against the pass. Nobody's run against them.

21:38 ↗

nobody has run more against the team in the NFL than teams have against the Ravens because of their past defense. A lot of that's thanks to the 50 carries in last week's game against Chicago. That's an absurd amount of carries, 199 yards on the ground last week. I like McKinnon quite a lot. I mean, right now I see him as a...

22:00 ↗

somewhat matchup proof guy because of his... Because of the past catch. Yeah, because of his ability in the past catching. So... He did pop up on the injury report with an ankle situation on Thursday. Has practiced in full. I'm still confident in playing him. Yeah. Over 15 carries, over five receptions, both of his... Both of the weeks since Delvin Cook went out. You can trust him. I love Kyle Rudolph. Kyle Rudolph. You started the week, right? He's my start of the week because of the what I...

22:28 ↗

projecting is the lack of Stefan Digg. But Adam Thielen, it's a tougher matchup against the Baltimore Ravens. What kind of confidence are you talking for Thielen? Wide receiver two, why receiver three? Yeah, three. I agree. All right. Before we move on to our next matchup, I do want to thank Harry's for sponsoring the show, helping us keep the lights on. Harry's has been a longtime sponsor of the podcast and for good reason. I've been a Harry's customer for a very long time. And look, there are other razor companies out there.

22:58 ↗

They just rents, they basically just reap profits. I reap players. They reap profits because they just increase the prices over and over again. So this company, they started out. They got fed up with getting ripped off and they started Harry's. It's two bucks a blade instead of the four bucks you pay at the drugstore for the other guys. And what do I love most about Harry's? Look, I love the consistent, smooth, closed shave. It's just part of the routine. It's affordable. I absolutely love it. And they're confident you're going to love.

So check it out, Ultimate DFS pass.com. All right. We're going to talk Cowboys 49ers. 49ers are six point dogs at home, 47 point over under.

25:21 ↗

We have not talked about the Ezekiel Elliott situation anymore since Wednesday. Now, that's like a successful thing. Yes, it is. That being said, and now it's trepidacious, especially on a show we're recording slightly early, to say anything about the news. However, he's playing. He's playing, and reports have come out now in the last two days that there have been further negotiation talks between the NFL and Ezekiel Elliott on a potential settlement for a...

25:51 ↗

Suspension. You could see these sides because of the back and forth, the legal situation, you could have both sides not really wanting to risk further legislation, further delay. Ezekiel Ali may not want the six, you know, he doesn't want a six game ban. There are open discussions going on right now. So you could have a scenario where maybe a two game.

26:14 ↗

Three-game suspension is agreed to. Maybe, you know, maybe it's something where they agree to delay the suspension. I don't know what potential outcomes there are, but discussions happening to that end will affect your fantasy football season. So do it, Zeke. Yeah, you know, I don't know, unless you didn't do it. Anyway, moving on. I will say this before that, Adam Schefter was.

26:38 ↗

did report, and I really usually trust, you know, his reporting. He said that it is guaranteed that he will be playing the next two weeks. So, you know, I had been expecting. You can check the tape when Mike Wright was reporting that two days. Sure. Sure. I don't trust Mike Wright. As far as you can throw on. But, yeah. So, I mean, I don't know if these negotiations would possibly, you know, come in the way of that. So who knows? So what? So what? Who cares?

27:08 ↗

All right, Des Bryant. You're starting him in this match. Is there somebody, is there anybody you don't love on the Dallas side of the football? No, the 49ers bring out very, uh, provocative emotions for when I'm, what I'm trying to start fantasy players against them. You can stand alone on that one. Oh, no, I get, I get, uh, I get the, what are the tingles? The tingles, the tingles like a little sweaty of the butterflies and the tummy because I want to play my guys. Dak, Dak Prescott is great. Des Bryant. Great.
