Fantasy Football 2017 - Week 5 Studs & Duds, Rising Stars, Trade Targets

So you're standing staunch on this. You would go buy Amari Cooper. I would buy Amari Cooper for pennies and I would keep him on my bench. That's what I would do. Because the Amari Cooper owner is wanting to cut him. And I don't blame them. But he is still a super talented wide receiver. You can't take, you can't just dismiss the first two years of his career where he did.

something that really one and a half years though. The second half of last year was bad. That's fine. Take the first year and a half of his career where even with a bad second half of his sophomore year, he still over those first two years is up near the best all time for his age and coming into the league. So he was drafted like that. He was that in college. He's in a slump. Do you think Amari Cooper has a bad career?

Do you think from here on out, Marry Cooper is, no. No, but what is Amari Cooper? I think Amari Cooper. People thought they were getting Julio Jones. They're getting, they're getting Antonio Brown from Amari Cooper, that type of production. I see Amari Cooper as coming into this season kind of what I thought Hopkins would be, which would be that kind of wide receiver two.

where, you know, there's reason to worry, but the talent is still there. Those guys have basically flip flop now. Hopkins looks like a, you know, an absolute one and Cooper is like a six. To the tight end position, guys that let you down, Delaney Walker. I mean, it was, it was just a rough game overall for the Titans offense, but Matt Castle will do that to you. And then Evan Engram. Oh, man. What happened?

That was, that was every wide receiver on your team goes down and somehow Evan Ingram has zero catches. That was the weirdest of all of these poopers. That one made the least sense. Everything lined up. His matchup against tight end was great. His targets on the season had been great. The other wide receivers go down. He was so important. And it just disappears. What?

I don't know. That's one of those, I'm excited to go back and watch the tape and try and figure out what happened. What happened? If you had Charles Clay and the Evan Angram over there wants to rage drop, I'd gladly trade for Engram. Yeah? Yeah. They have to use him. We have another. We have another.

very necessary tied in. They had to use them in that game. They didn't. Yeah, they'll figure some things. Yeah, I want to watch the film to see, like, was he running routes, just not targeted? Would, where they bring him into block? Yeah. If they're bringing him into block. Well, that's a failure already because he can't. They've made terrible mistakes. Just a Monday night game update.

We expect Sammy Biscuits back. Hey, I'm really excited for that. That should be good news for Adam Thielen, for Stefan Diggs, for Kyle Rudolph. Love Michael Keaton. Yeah. I know someone who's very excited about this game. Oh, of course you are. Good luck to your bears. The debut of Mitchell Trubisky. We'll see. What do you think Mitchell Trubitsky does tonight? Disappoints people. Well, what do you think people's expectations are?

Well, Andy thinks that the Bears are going to win the game. Does this is? Yes. He guarantee, we have a water bet of the Vikings versus the Bears. And I don't know if he made that bet expecting Case Keenham to be the starter. I made the bet saying I don't care who the starters for the Minnesota Vikings. I don't think that the Bears are going to win. I know they're at home. We'll see. I mean, people are very, very excited to see what this rookie can do. The other, Sean Watson's been.

Pretty solid. It's been a pretty good year overall for rookie. The two things I'm going to be looking for tonight with Trubisky is how much he's targeting. Tariq Cohen and Zach Miller. Those that guy is the big one for me with with the tight ends being so terrible this year. Can Zach Miller reemerge? Because he last year to start the year, he was a go-to target and he was, he was a great, a top five tied end. Yeah, he was.
