Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Welcome in. Welcome to the show. It's a beautiful morning here in the neighborhood. Friday. You got the Friday dance going on? Yeah, well, I mean, it's the last show of the week, which means the Smorgasborgle.

of Sunday morning football is nearly upon us. I saw your jukes there in your seat and they looked a lot like Shady McCoy. Oh, thanks. Yeah. On a dime. Thanks, bro. I really like my water bet right now. Yeah, it's looking good. Wait, what was the water bet? Shady versus Jay Stu. No, it wasn't. Yes, it was. Oh, yeah. LaShawn McCoy versus Jonathan Stewart. That is correct. Who made that bet? You did. Me and you. I'm going to go audit this. Okay. Yeah, that's the bet we made.

Why did I make that bet? I don't know. Hey, Jay Street. No, because I thought Shady with Carlos Williams and the Jets and everything. At the time, I didn't think it was a bad bet by any means. Here we go touchdowns for Jonathan Stewart. Maybe, maybe. Probably not. That was a good game by Shady. He looked quite healthy. Quite. The most impressive run on the entire night was him picking up the first down.

Did you see that play? It was like the Madden button. You're just hitting the jukes where he was five yards behind the line of scrimmage, running out right, juked about six guys, gets the first down. So welcome to the show. This is the Friday episode. November 13th is the date. We are the fantasy footballers. I'm Andy Holloway, joined by Jason Moore and Mike the fantasy hitman himself. Do you.

And he just got kicked in the groin, apparently. You went with the full nickname. I felt I had to go like a primeval grunt. Was that like the emphatic? Yeah, that's what I heard. That was my opponent when they saw that I had the courage to play LaShawn McCoy. Yeah, but didn't you get a bunch of points scored against you by the Buffalo defense? Yeah, there was also the same noise I made when Buffalo scored that defensive touchdown. Carlos Williams with a sixth.

straight game with an offensive touchdown, which is like, I think one of only two players in history. I believe that is, I believe he's the second player to his first six games. Very impressive. We've got some news to fill you in on today, so you're all caught up in the fantasy world. We've got our injury report, so you know who we think is our, who's playing on Sunday morning, some of the injured guys we've been talking about all week.

The second half of our fantasy forecast, we've got our daily dose segment where we'll give you some DFS advice, some Fandual information so you can win in those leagues this week, and we'll hit the mailbag as well. So we've got a jam-packed show. So let's sit here quietly? No. That's when I take the temperature of the room. I'm seeing what's going on. Jason's just kind of head-bobbing. I don't think he's here yet. I don't see coffee. I'm ready for the quick question. All right, well, that's cool because you put two of them in there.

I'm ready for the quick questions. All right. What do you do with Chris Ivory and Carlos Williams? Chris Ivory? Honestly, I... It had to be a good sign last night. Absolutely. Good run defense. Not to mention. Sorry for him himself. Zach Stacey broke his ankle last night. He was the primary backup between the tackles for Chris Ivory. Currently, because Bilal Powell has been out. Bilal Powell...

looks to be back next week. That's what we're expecting. He's got 10 more days off. Stephen Ridley got a couple carries and looked terrible. Yeah. Everything I had read in practice about Ridley was that he just didn't seem like he had quickness back yet. But I expect Powell to come back to his workload that he was getting earlier in the year, which is he's really getting all the passing downs. He's getting a good bit of touches just carries on the ground. So he's going to eat in a Chris Ivory's workload.

If there's any running back, and I wrote about this on Fantasy Pros, if there's any running back to sell, I would personally sell Chris Ivory, high at this point. Yeah, we talked about that a little bit yesterday. I don't know. I mean, when Powell was there and Ivory was getting 29 touches, I mean, 29 carries, 20 carries. I agree with the kind of his floor lowers with Powell because Powell would be in there on games where they're behind in game flow or third downs, like you said.

But he's a pretty stable back. I don't know if I'd sell him, but I don't know if I'd expect him to be a top five guy either. Yeah, yeah, I think tempering expectations. But he looked great. He didn't get in the end zone. Yeah, five a carry. Which is what we were expecting. But his runs were great. His offensive line wasn't always great. There were a couple plays where, you know, it didn't look like he had anywhere to go and he burst through for nine. He caught that little dump off run and took it. Exactly. Well, sure. I mean, he might miss some of those.

over five of carry for 100 yards. Yeah. If he had failed last night and had a fourth straight game that was low yards per carry, bad, looked bad, I would have been in full panic mode. And now he gets 10 days of rest. So to answer your question, what do you do with Chris Ivory? To me, I say you just start him. Yeah. And so Bilal Powell went out in the Miami game. And that's, and so he really was not a part of the Miami or Washington games, which were the, those were the monster ivory games, right?

So I just, he's a sell candidate for me. Sure, sure. So what about Carlos Williams? You cannot book, if only two players in history have gotten a touchdown. You absolutely sell him right now. Oh, that is the right call. And people are, well, how can I sell a handcuff? He's scored in six straight games. You can probably sell him to somebody. He.

And I heard the stat of our today from Mike Clay was talking about this. You're like, oh, well, he's the goal line back. How many carries inside the eight-yard line does Carlos Williams have? None. One. Wow. That's crazy. What does that mean? It means his touchdown pace is not sustainable. He's not getting goal line work. He's scoring from very far away. And he's just, he's a guy that I'm looking to sell. You're looking to sell him even if you own shady? If I own shady, no.

Okay. I'm saying, but a, to the Shady McCoy owner is perfect of this high level of handcuff who's producing, and even to somebody who's not the Lashon McCoy owner who's in running back troubles, they might see, oh, man, this guy's scoring all the time, I got to get in on it. And if you are the Shady owner, you should pay for him. You should be willing to give up a decent amount because we've seen Shady be injured through the preseason, a couple of times through the season, and if he goes in as a full-time.

you know, backup replacement, he's going to be great. If there's one thing we've seen over the last three weeks and I talked to somebody who wrote a question in, and they had lost like Foster, Bell, Lewis, and successive weeks, if there's one thing we know guys can go out and you're getting close to trade deadlines and you're getting towards the playoffs, acquiring your handcuff is pretty crucial right now. I, as an ivory owner, will be looking to probably pick up Bilal Pel next week. And I could have picked him up this week just to be ready for it, but I'm not...

I'm not too worried about being able to get him. But I want that insurance because I might not be able to get another guy and I'll be rolling out either, you know, he's not my favorite guy to roll out if Ivory was out, but at least you have somebody that's a starter, get you some baseline of points. So let's go ahead and get you caught up with what's going on. News and notes from around the league. Okay, let's go ahead and go through the news and notes. Is there anything huge that has stuck out to you that's not injury related? That is not injury related?

Well, because we're going to get into the in-and-out section of the injury report, and we can go over some of those things there. But is there anything that's taken place that's not injury news? The only thing that I think was something that of note that was not injury-related is the Washington Post does not expect Washington to re-sign Alfred Morris. And this is just a note for those in Dynasty or Keeper. I would think that Matt Jones is in line to...

to get the opportunity next year, assuming that Morris has not resigned. So maybe he's a guy you can get kind of cheap because people are souring on him right now. Wouldn't it stand a reason then that he's the guy that's going to get the workload the rest of the season, good or bad, because they want to... Not necessarily. Sometimes we've seen teams do exactly what you're saying, but we've also seen teams where they just run a guy into the ground because they know he's not going to be there next year. Doesn't that normally happen if they produce?

Yeah, it really depends on the production. But right now, who's producing there? Nobody. Nobody. So it's not like, well, put Matt Jones in and see what he's got. It's rest them up for next year, maybe. Unless you're talking about a fumble contest, in which case Matt Jones is really good. He's going away with it. The rookies, they can't hold the ball. They cannot hold the ball at all. Abdullah, Gordon. David Johnson. Matt Jones. It's like they get here and they're surprised.

at the fury of NFL defensive players. These guys are much stronger than the college players. Yeah, exactly. So, okay, so I'm going to go through some of these injury. We'll go through the in-and-out, and then you guys give me feedback. Tell me what's going on with these players as well. What's it going to pay me to fly? Are you in or out? All right, Josh McCown is the only kind of questionable quarterback situation that...

that is worthy of talking about. Do you guys believe Josh McCown will be in for the Browns? I think he's going to play. Absolutely, he should be in. He's been practicing, and he is a tough, tough guy. Bump up for Barnage. Oh, absolutely, for sure. Bump up for the whole passing offense. All players named with a B. Pump up the volume. Pump up the volume. Duke Johnson. Not Turbin, though.

No, he's waived. Yeah. Did you see, that's another piece of news that's not injury. Did you see Josh Robinson was waived? Oh, yes, from the courts. Mike just reported that yesterday. That is surprising because they had been impressed with him sixth round rookie and he's gone. I don't know. I think they were impressed with him in camp. I don't think he did anything on the field this entire year. Totally agree, but I'm surprised they gave up on him like that. Yeah. He's one of those rookies who was also fumbling. Yeah. Yeah.

That is true. Goal line fumbles for him. All right. Running backs, in or out, Latavius Murray. He has declared himself symptom-free, and he's returned to limited practice. I have not heard if he's gotten the full clear. He has not gotten the full clear yet. So he's still waiting on permission to play inside. I have him in. I've had him in all week. If he's unlimited right now, he's probably trending towards playing with that concussion. Yeah. I have him out solely because he has a history of it.

He hasn't gotten the clearance yet, and we're late in the week. So, Latavis Murray is absolutely a situation where you have got to, you've got to be prepared for him to be out or in. You know, sometimes you kind of have a gut feeling that I think is, that you can go with. Here, it's a guess feeling. You might get more information today, so make sure you're following the news. You can check out out on the Sports Manias app as well. All the news is on there. So Dexter McClaster.

I bring him up less for Dexter McCluster owners, but for Antonio Andrews' owners, because Antonio Andrews could get some third downwork of Dexter McClusters out. Do you think he'll play? I think he's going to sit this week. But this is a watch the practice report today. A bunch of wide receivers that are questionable this week. A report came out about Alshan Jeffrey. No! And it was comedic because after the report came out that he had, what did he tweak his groin?
