Week 6 Matchups + Lev Bell to Chiefs! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 10/16

According to Mike Taglier, Hardman's 12.62 yards per target is the highest mark of all time among receivers with 50 plus targets. He is the one touch man. He can get you a win with one big play. And with the over under where it's at, no Sammy Watkins. You could do worse than McColl Hardman this week.

We do have a breaking report. I will not hit the button for this one. Let me hit a different button for you. Yeah. So Field Yates reporting the Patriots will be canceling their Friday practice after a positive COVID-19 test. So they will have to confirm if that test is a positive or a false positive. But here we are. Oh, Melvin Gordon is going to be so mad.

It means the same matchup. Oh, man. Yeah. All right. Our final matchup, Cardinals 3 and 2, the Cowboys, 2 and 3. This is a Monday night football game. The Cardinals are one point road favorites. It's a 54.5 point over and under. Cowboys, Andy Dalton gets to make his starting debut. And this one should be a good game. This is interesting, yes. Yeah. These are two fast-paced teams, at least before.

Andy Dalton took over. Dallas was number one in seconds per play. Plays per game. The pace of play while they're trailing. And they are not favored at home in this game. Arizona is favored, although it's close. And Arizona number seven in seconds per play. This should be a game with a lot of opportunity. Kyler Murray has been outstanding. Offensive player of the week last week in the NFC. Andy Dalton went nine for 11. It's nice to see those stats after he came in. Nine for 11 for 11 yards last week.

was one of the best insurance policies of quarterback of any team in football. So Dallas has to move forward in a winnable division with Andy Dalton. So we've talked quite a bit about the implications of this injury to DAC and what we would do with this wide receiver core. You know, we've got to see it on the field, but you're going to have an opportunity against Arizona. Yeah, you do have the opportunity here. For the wide receivers.

Mari Cooper is playing for you. CD Lamb is playing for you until proven otherwise. Michael Gallup is a bench. Just see what happens. Honestly, the biggest question for me for the Dallas offense is Dalton Schultz. What do we do? We know that Dak Prescott heavily utilized the tight end position. Dalton Schultz came away with a real fantasy stinker last week.

Jay, what is your confidence level in Dalton Schultz? Before that, you know, 10 targets, 6, 8. He's with Michael Gallup to me. What I'm saying, at the tight end position, is he around Mike Gassicki or is? No. Where is his level? He's much lower than Gassicki. He is someone that I think can be rostered and bench to take a wait and see approach from your bench because we don't know what Dalton's tendencies will be, how this offense will change. Oh, Dalton to Dalton. How much more they'll.

you know, they'll run the ball and slow the pace of play. So Gallup is on my bench. Dalton Schultz is on my bench. I agree with you. The other two wide receivers are in and Dalton can be streamed even though it's primetime Dalton, which is always a scary proposition. Kenyon Drake, guys. What do we think? You know, if I had to play.

Kenyon Drake or some of these other options like Singletary or Darrell Henderson. Oh, that's Drake. I would take Drake over them. What about Antonio Gibson? The number two most popular startsick question this week, Antonio Gibson or Kenyon Drake? I would take Gibson. Oh, all right. Chase Edmonds is one of the most enigmatic fantasy options because he's had three weeks of top, three weeks inside the top 21.

at the position. He was eighth last week against the Jets. Dallas, we know what their defense is not doing, and yet nobody feels very confident playing Chase Edmonds. With the success he's seen, we talked last week, Jason, you brought up something's going to change in this offense. Edmund saw all the targets. Can you flex Chase Edmins? I think you can flex him in a full PPR. What about single terrier Edmonds in a full PPR? That's interesting. In a full PPR, I...

I'm probably still going to be a sucker and go for the total touches, the total opportunities, which would be singletary. But it's worth realizing that we need to start looking at Chase Edmonds like a James White type. He's more of a receiver than he has a running back because, you know, he's...

Look at the last four weeks. Three rushing attempts, three rushing attempts, four rush attempts, three rush attempts. I don't want to play that in fantasy. But the last two weeks, he's had five receptions in both games, six targets. He is the passing down back. Highest snap percentage of the season, he had been averaging right around 35, and he shot up to 45% this past week. I'm with Jason. If you're in a full PPR,

you can flex him, but it's hard to get really excited about a running back who's averaging just over eight opportunities a game. It's interesting, though, having highlighted the Henderson snap counts and the Edmund snap counts being very similar in the offense. So always a shot with Chase Edmonds. But if Drake's going to perform, this is going to be a week that needs to do it. Right. Yeah. All right. Anything else from this game? No, you're not going to play.

Kirk even he could have a good game and you're not going to be able to play it from what's been seen, not going to be able to play Larry. I think it's Hopkins and we covered the running backs. Of course, Kyler will be in. All right, Bruce Ariens, this is a little injury update from Brooks. He said that Bruce Ariens came out, said that Godwin should be able to play on Sunday. They asked Bruce Ariens which players were game time decisions and he did list Mike Evans once again in that list along with Scotty Miller, Leonard Fernette. Evan should be out there. Yeah, and it's just reinforces. I'm not.

Playing Scotty Miller. And then Adrian Peterson is back in the building. Oh. So that's, you know, maybe get out on the field too. Maybe. Who knows? Prop it like it's hot. Presented by Monkey Night Fight. All right. I enjoy this segment each and every week. It's been pretty fun to identify some of these player props that we really like from Monkey Night Fight. And I'll kick it off. Josh Allen. Josh Allen, the Monday night football game.

The line is set at 253.5 passing yards. This game has a... Yeah, you hadn't seen that one. That's a good pick, Andy. Yeah, Josh Allen has done it. The 253.5 line, he is yet to fail hitting that on the entirety of this entire season. The entirety of this entire season. That's right. I was hoping you learned yourself. Oh, no, you're not going to get me. I'm going to get myself. You're not getting me first. If you haven't played Monkey Knife fight with us yet this year,

I'm just going to go out and say, this is a real good time to get in because I feel like that's a mistake, 253.5 passing yards? On a 57 and a half over under a game, in a game where Mahomes' line is set at 319. So John Brown should be back, which is great. It helps. And Josh Allen, this game's going to come down to that defensive line for the Chiefs. If Josh Allen stands there the way he got to stand there this past week and gets to chuck it down field.

They're going to have some big play. So I'm going to take them more, believe it or not. That would have been great if all that set up and I took less for Josh Allen at the end of it. But I'm going to go more. That would be funny. All right. Jameson Crowder. Jamison Target. Crowder. The only feasible offensive weapon on the New York Jets currently. The more or less has set at 68 and a half receiving yards for some context. My man.

Jamie Crowder is averaging over 100 yards a game. They are heavy dogs in this matchup. And all matchups. In this matchup in probably every single week for the rest of the year. But I will absolutely be taking the more for James and Crowder.

And for me, I'm doubling down on my Ronald Jones start of the week. The matchup is great, right? Green Bay is tied with Carolina when it comes to fantasy points given up to the running back. Rojo gets most of his fantasy points on the ground. The line looks like it is 67.5 rushing yards. I am taking more than that, as he's had more than 100, the last two weeks. Our premium projections put him at 76.2 rushing yards. I'm taking the more.

That was M-O-A-R. Oh, okay. M-O-A-R. Is that how you spell your last name? More. That's right. Jason, M-O-A-R. I always like, when you go more or less on a player at the running back position, I like it when it's somebody that is explosive and can have one play that's 40, 50 yards. You're not just trying to, you know, dink and dunk a Devonta Freeman type of performance. I feel like you're talking to Mike here on that Jameson Crowder. That's tough. Yeah.

That line is, I would take the more too, Mike, but not by a lot. Not by a lot. I will take it. Joe Flacco. Check out Monkey Knife Fight this week. Ballerspicks.com is where you go. Ballerspicks.com.
