Starts of the Week, Wk 6 Matchups, Dad is Back

are so putrid against the run. They cannot stop the edge. They cannot stop it up the middle. So the middle and the edges. They're bad at it. Exactly. Exactly. But otherwise. Everywhere on that line is terrible. I mean, Matt, Jerich McKinnon goes down. Matt Breda's tearing up the Cardinals. Matt Breda goes down, Alfred Morris, tearing up the Cardinals. Next man up. 34 and a half points per game given up to running back. But the Vikings cannot run the ball.

Latavius Murray has been bad. Their offensive line can protect Kirk when they're passing, but they cannot open anything for the running backs. When they call a run play, it's like the offensive line just, ole! Let's them in and can you start? Latavius Murray is good for at least 10 fantasy points in this game. First off, we have to figure out if Dalvin Cook's going to play. He was limited on Wednesday with the hamstring. Will they?

choose to say, we're going to win this game. Let's rest Alvin Cook one more time. Yes. And let Latavius Murray play. It would be such a stupid move to play Dalvin Cook in this game. So Latavius Murray in my league where I have, my choice will likely come down to Buck Allen, Latavius Murray, or Jamal Williams.

And I will go Latavius Murray as of right now. Yeah, I can see that. I can see that. I mean, with that over under and that point spread, this is a game that Vegas expects them to be well out ahead of. And there's no reason Murray can't get 14 carries in this game. And I just expect that Latavius Murray can actually have success in this game. All right. Let's move on. Starts of the week. All right, starts of the week for week six.

I'm excited. Look, let's start at the running back position. And I'm going to go with the revenge narrative at home, Marshawn Lynch. Well, sort of, sort of at home. Right. I mean, by at home, you mean like, other side of the world. You mean like thousands of miles away. That is a London game. Wake up early. No, no, you don't have to wake. That's why it's so tricky. Because when you're looking at the schedule, they're playing at regular time.

That's incredible. That's why it sneaks up on you. Being a West Coast guy, that is fantastic news. I'm exceptionally happy he's not playing in Seattle in that situation. And Marshall and Lynch, look, he's a game script dependent RB1. That's what he is. If things other than last week against the Chargers.

18, 19, 20 carries the previous three weeks. He's got motivation going up against his former club. And I think, look, if you're touching the ball 18 times a game, Seattle's middle of the pack at best against, I think they're even a little below average against the running back.

And they gave up, look, three touchdowns on the ground last week to the Rams. They gave up a touchdown to the Cardinals the week before. Marshawn Lynch is so good. He's just really good. He's just really good. If you look, the first half of last year, if you remember, they were really just. They thought they could rest him for the playoffs. Exactly. They thought they were a Super Bowl consider. They thought they were going to rest him for the playoffs. And they didn't give him much work. And then they realized, oh, we got to win games. So they start using them. The second half of last year till now.

He's second in the league in rushing yards. He's the second best. He's fourth best in the league in rushing touchdowns. I mean, the dude is a beast. He's called Beast Mode for a reason. Yeah, he's really good. And it really is. I mean, for all intensive purposes, for the point of analysis, it is a home game because the Raiders fans travel. They're much more international. This is going to be a great game for Marshall. I like that a lot. My start of the week.

is a guy that, I mean, he's a start of the year. He is, don't go away from him, but specifically this week, James White is going to have 700 receptions. The Kansas City Chiefs and the New England Patriots are going to try to break the scoring record, and it's going to happen.

Through the air, James White, who is currently the running back seven on the year, he is splitting time with Sony Michelle in a way that is usable on the ground. Two weeks ago, eight carries for 44 yards on the ground last week against Indianapolis, 10 receptions, 77 yards through the air, one receiving touchdown. He has four receiving touchdowns already.

We're in week five or five weeks have, you know, been in the books. You just keep rolling with James White, and you need to treat him. This is one of those things where you want to trade for a player or you look at rest of season rankings. James White is surprised. I mean, he's pretty much a top 15 running back, right? Yes. Which is crazy because I don't think anybody actually, even myself, even saying this. I,

If I'm like setting up my rankings of my list, I wonder how far down if I were to make rest of the season like you're having a draft today. How far down would I stupidly put James White? Stop it. He's great. He's on the Patriots. He's going to be fantastic. Start him, start of the week. And I'm on the opposite side of the game from Andy. I like the Marshawn call. I like the running backs over in the London game. The Seattle boys. Chris Carson and I'm even throwing in the bonus Mike Davis because I think that he is flexible.

I don't know about him touching his toes, but flexible as in you could play him as a third option. Chris Carson, his last two games over 100 yards in each performance. Mike Davis has a hundred yard game to his credit as well. He's made last week over five a carry. Three touchdowns in his past two games. Schopenheimer, it's working. We gave him crap all off season.

But it is working as of late for the Seattle Seahawks. Still don't like it. And the Oakland Raiders are giving up the fifth most points to fantasy running backs. They're not going to be able to stop Chris Carson and Mike Davis. The Raiders are surprisingly good at giving up yards and points to running backs. Fair. So congrats. Wide receiver start of the week. Bless them. I'm going to give you that Jarvis Landry pat on the back. He's only the 25th best wide receiver in fantasy football so far in the season. He's only scored one time.

This is the week, I believe he gets on track. He's good for a couple of these long breakaway touchdowns per year. The O'Dell Beckham-style slant past, shimmy-shake, punt return style. Shimmy-shake. Scores. I think it's this week. Jarvis Landerie is the guy that I want. Blossom! Yeah, I'm going with Robert Woods, and this is not.

Robert Woods because Cooper Cup and Brandon Cooks are in concussion protocol. No, no, no. This is, I'm fully expecting both of the, all three of these players to play. This is, I am making Robert Woods my start of the week with all three active. The Denver Broncos have a pretty good defense. No, middle of the pack to top, they're top third. I see them as a top third defense. Top 30. Definitely. Yeah, okay. I accept. Against the wide receiver position.

They're the 12th best. So, you know, after last week, I declined them praise. Sure. I mean, Robbie Anderson.

15 snaps damage and then 30-something points against the Jets. I hesitate. Sure. No, that's fine. Robert Woods is good. You don't have to talk up Denver to be happy that you're playing Robert Wood. That's true. Well, there is, and this is genuine. This is a, there is a huge, huge difference between Denver at home and Denver on the road. And in fact, if you look at the last Denver road game where they traveled east, I want to say it was like 2016 since their last victory there. So, yes.

They were terrible at the Jets. But at home in Denver, I think they're going to be better. But they're going to need Robert Woods. Robert Woods has been great. You should not, cannot do not want to bench him. He's my start of the week. I think he's going to be a top 15 wide receiver this week. Did you know that the pace of the Rams wide receivers, Robert Woods on pace for over 1,300 and both Cooper Cup and Brandon Cooks over on pace for over 1,400? Nice. I mean, they are absolutely. Pretty good.

destroying my biode receiver start of the week. I pretty much talked it up already, but Tyler Boyd, I'm taking the secondary option in the Pittsburgh matchup, just trying to get in on that action. I know it's the divisional game, so weird things do happen, but I have faith in Tyler Boyd coming through while AJ Green could certainly struggle against Joe Hayden. And I'm going to just real quick do my last two because it's a combo. I'm going with the stack.

My quarterback, or did you did your wide receiver already, right, Andy? Yeah, Jarvis. Yeah, yeah. But I, I, yes. So I, to get him out of the way, but Jameson Cameron Brate, Tampa Bay Buccaneers stack. I'm all about it. We, we analyze that game fully. So those are my starts. James and Cameron. Last week to start the season, Cameron Bray had a touchdown. I think like five straight games. I'm all about it.

James and Cameron. I'm stacking my quarterback tight end as well. I'm doing Vance Dance, the remix. Vance McDonald, the Bengals. Remix is always better. The Bengals have allowed the ninth most fantasy points per game to the tight end. It's a 53 point over and under and I want a piece of that action. And I'm going to go with...

I mean, a guy that has just been on fire. True breakout this year. George Kittle. You have to stack the quarterback. That's the rules of this week's starts, Jason. Oh, no. Oh, no. I've got to have CJ Bedford. Yeah. Oh, I thought he just had to put Hooper in. I thought that doesn't. That's no. Hey, no. I've got to Kittle. So now you got better. No, no, no. I switched to Hooper because I've got bad. Look, George Kittle has been absolutely unstoppable. He's, you know.

over five receptions game the last three weeks. Bethard targets him, and he is a beast. I tweeted out. Did either of you see the tweet of his... I don't follow you. Yeah, I'm muted you. Oh, really? I'm a pretty good follow. You're an upgrade to block if you keep it up. At Jason FFL. Waldenberg that just came out. Hey, hey, follow me. Kittle is an excellent run blocker as well. He's just a beast freak athlete. Yes, I did see your tweet, and I did see the video of George Kittles.

demoralizing somebody with your get body tweet um so look he is fantastic i think that the matchup at green bay they're going to need him they're going to need to be passing the ball stay in the flames with george kiddle he's a he's the top five tight end yeah and then i guess i didn't even realize we hadn't said our quarterbacks so mike you went with james winston you said i'm going big bin yeah with the high over under and then jason you have matt ryan

Oh, Matt Ryan, at home, 57.5.5 point over under DeVanta Freeman either will be hobbled or missed the game. It's air. Big, big fantasy performance from Matt Ryan. Air Ryan. And a big defeat. I mean, just a big loss. Possibly. I hope so not for, you know, the Falcons. I mean, let's face it. You're 1 in 4. You're already out.

The Falcons fans have had some brutal losses. I feel so bad for them. But if the Falcons lose, that means Matt Ryan slinging that ball for 60 minutes. And that would be great. All right. Those were the start of the weeks. One final act. Jason Moore's Ironclad. Locked and loaded. 100% guaranteed boom, boom kicker of the wig. The first time around it didn't work. So I'm going to pull out my ukulele.

and sing a song to get them going with the Vikings, Dan Bailey. I got two things here. Why did you go with a country twang to talk about a ukulele? I don't know. To him, a ukulele and a banjo are identical. They're the same. Thank you, Anna. I understand the brain of this and more. The banjo and the ukulele are identical. They're teensy, tintsy guitars. Two, when we were watching the games on Sunday, I had to turn, because of the.

how this segment has been going. I turned to Jason. I said, holy crap. Was Mason Crosby your boom boom kicker of the week? And we both panicked for a moment, but it was not. That would have been awesome. Are you okay last week? Yeah. Yeah. My kicker, he's been okay the last couple weeks here. You did it. All right. The rest of the matchups tomorrow. Thanks for listening.
