Week 6 Studs & Stinkers + Weekly Rewind, Mike the Tatman

Touchdowns. You remember early in the offseason, we were talking about some of the Vegas props. And I think Fandall had a prop on Kyler Murray's rookie passing yards at 3,100 yards. And we're like, oh my goodness, yes. You got to go over on that. Yeah. Like I had him down for 3,800. Currently, he is on pace for 4,437 yards as a rookie. The issue has been touchdowns, even with the three touchdown game.

since he hasn't been throwing any 19. But look, if they can figure out some of the red zone issues and convert field goals into touchdowns, he's going to be a monster. It's going to be tough when, look, it's our home team, so we got to say it like it is. Coward Kingsbury. Some of those play calls on fourth down, that dude needs to. Forget fourth down. When we were on third down,

There's seven seconds left. We're on the five-yard line. No, you should, you got to kick. You got to take the points. That's what Booger would say. Oh, thank you, Booger McFarland. No, you've got plenty of time to take a shot at the end zone. Kyler should have had four touchdowns. Also having great weeks at the quarterback position, Brady Wentz and spleen Donald. Sam the spleen with his extra padding over his.

allegedly recovered spleen. First game back. No. Tough matchup. Yeah, the tough matchup. And so scoop them up immediately because New England and Jacksonville are on the docket. Yes. I catch your sarcasm. It was laid on very thick. However, after these next two matchups against New England and Jacksonville, which are death and I don't want to play Sam Donald, there's five games in a row where the New York Jets, I believe they play the Dolphins.

twice in that span. You have my attention. The Jets are about to go on a tear, at least for fantasy purposes. Not about to, but you're saying they're going to eventually. Yeah, in two weeks. Yes. To me, that's three weeks. In about two. Okay, fine, three weeks. But I stand by my time reference. I will stream him in three weeks. So in about to, Jason, how many weeks am I allowed when I say he's about to? He's about to. I would say you've got that whole week buffer.

So if it's the week after next, you could say he's about to. It's not coming now, but it's about to. I apologize. I didn't know the rules on it's about to. It's all right. Make the tatman. It's okay. Thank you. At the running back position, James Connor. Oh, another two toot. He had an excellent game. That's my start of the week. He was the running back one unless Aaron Jones or Carry on Johnson can overtake. Sure. The bye week is coming at a great time for James Connor to recover.

But with Jalen Samuels hurt, it was the James Connor show. And Devlin Hodges being highly allergic to throwing the ball more than 10 yards down the field. James Connor dominated seven receptions, 78 receiving yards and receiving touchdown. Also had a rushing touchdown. Nick Chubb continues his dominance, 20 attempts over 120 yards on the ground. Added in a few receptions, the yards weren't great, but that PPR bump.

Now, what happens here in a couple of weeks for Nick Chubb when he gets... The looming... The looming... The looming Kareem Hunt, are you... If you're a Nick Chub owner, would you be willing to sell him right now? They're going on the buy. So maybe you... Are you willing to... Probably not. ...sell while he's on a buy and about to get Kareem Hunt back based on the fact that he's been awesome or the probably not because he's been awesome.

A move I might be willing to make would be Nick Chubb for Levy on Bell. I've mentioned the Jets' upcoming schedule. I'm telling you, it is really juicy, especially for Levy on Bell and Robbie Anderson. So if you're going to pivot to Lev Bell, who I think is about to go on a real tear for fantasy purposes, and you get him next week, it's not a great matchup, but Lev Bell is safe for volume. I've been saying for the last couple weeks.

that Lev Bell was a great buy candidate. He's a guy that you don't want to trade away unless you get a wonderful trade offer that you, uh, then, then, you know, like let's say, just hypothetically speaking here, Mike, let's just say, we're getting into this. Yeah, we're going to get into this. So let's book. I apologize. Ladies and gentlemen, this is our, this is our job. This is our career in fantasy football.

We are not above making a good old-fashioned mistake now and again. A little moustache or two might come this guy's way. Now let me just ask this question for the footcline. If you were offered, you send away, this was last week, you send away Terry McLaren and Lev Bell. Right. That's good. Two good options. I love Terry McLaurin. Been saying to buy Love Bell. I had those players. But would you send them away?

for David Johnson and Cooper Cup. Another, I mean, look, maybe, maybe David Johnson is a downgrade. Cooper Cup clearly an upgrade, even though maybe. Terry McGlorn's pretty awesome. Terry McLaurin's awesome and golf was gawful this week. But in general, you'd take the David Johnson and, you know, this was when David Johnson, you weren't sure he was going to play this week. There was all the back concerns. Well, I was made that offer. I accepted that offer. Nice trade. Thank you. Nice trade. And then.

This is in our listener league, so they're listening. So then Sunday morning rolls around. I go to double check my roster, make sure everything's good. And I'm like, Duke Johnson. I don't remember having Duke Johnson. When did I pick him up? Wait, what did I do? Because the train comes in as D. Johnson. And yes, in little tiny text that says the team name, but I was on the pot.

I was on the toilet. So, Fookland. A poop stupor. The, yeah, you need to not accept trays on the toilet, okay? Do a little bit more digging. So I traded away Left Pell and Terry McLaurin for Duke Johnson. Talk about a real dukey situation. Mike the Tapp, man. Oh, what an idiot you are. Look, I got to stay true to my brand. Because David Johnson had, had himself.

A game not necessarily efficient on the ground, 12 for 34 with a score, but 6 for 68 through the air doing David Johnson things. With a touchdown. With a touchdown. He has the running back five on the season. Not just a touchdown, but a touchdown that very few running backs could make in the NFL. I don't know how many wide receivers would be. I mean, there's a still frame of the defender draped all over him, arm over his arms while the ball's falling down to the ground. David Johnson, absolutely incredible.

touchdown reception. Devanta Freeman got it done as you figured he would against Arizona on the ground and two receiving touchdowns. It says, look, it's the first time he's been over 100 scrimmage yards since week 14 of 2017. Arizona will do this for you. And let me just say, this would be a real nice welcome back treat for Saquan Barkley. If he could get back this week and face Arizona and be like, and Evan Engram.

Yeah. Oh, my goodness. If you can sell Devanta Freeman high off of this performance, are you doing that or are you buying in that he's getting utilized? If I could sell him high, I would. 22 touches. I still don't buy into Devonta Freeman rest of season. The one thing that I could see, I was at the game, the offensive line for Atlanta, they suck. And yes, he was still fine against Arizona, but you.

You know, that's more on Arizona. It coming up here, you got the Rams, you got Seattle, you know, a buy week, the Saints who are great against the run. No, I'm selling high if I can. I just don't necessarily believe you can. Zeke had a solid game. He's quietly the running back seven on the season. Are you disappointed with Zeke so far, Jason? Because to me it feels like he is, he feels like he's out of that top three tier right now.

It seems like he's real solid, who should be a top five guy, but is top three really in the cards for him? Top three is in the cards. I mean, this last week, 28 carries. The Pollard, you know, encroachment on his touches is not real over the last three weeks. Pollard has not really been involved. 28 carries for 100 yards. You were really at this point in the previous two weeks.

especially against the Packers. I can forgive him against the Saints who have a good defense. But, I mean, honestly, he could be a by low to me. I still see Zeke as an absolute top three back. Has a rushing touchdown in five of six games. Could see a higher target volume if Amari Cooper with his thigh bruise. His very, very painful thigh bruise. It hurts so much. Chris Carson had a great game. Christian McCaffrey came through on the studs list with a line of 22 carries. Okay.

Oh, if Christian McCaffrey has 22 carries. Can I guess the yardage? You can. Okay, 22 carries. It probably breaks two or three. Let's carry the three. Okay, so he's going to end up with, let's say, 112 rushing yards. 22 carries. I would say that's a low guess. I'm trying to be conservative here. But you are actually over by about 100. It was 22 for 31. They'd have the rushing touchdown four for 26 with a receiving touchdown. Unfortunately, if you've been riding the Christian McCaffrey train,

As the Carolina Panthers have, he's on by this week. A couple honorable mentions. Miles Sanders getting it done through the air. It was only three targets, but three for 86 with a touchdown. With Darren Sprouls out, Miles Sanders is more interesting to me. I know it was only three targets this week, but it seems like he will inherit that role. Corey Clement also going to miss some time. So that...

Really cluttered backfield. It's down to Jordan Howard and Miles Sanders. If Sanders is going to get the passing work, very interesting. Carlos Hyde, look, the Texans were able to somewhat duplicate the blueprint by the colds. I didn't think they'd be able to do it, but here we are. 26 over a hundo and a score. Leonard. Leonard Fornet has been great for fantasy. He has. He's still not that efficient. 20 carries 72 yards.

But the six targets, he is involved in, he's not a great pass catching running back. He's really not. You watch him and I, you know, you don't see any kind of fluidity there. But they're like, I don't care. He's our pass catching back. We don't need you, T.J. Yeldon, they got rid of them. And Fortnite is just so safe. Yes, he is, he is very safe. Hasn't given you much as many stealing games as you've hoped for.

But those will be coming. He gets the Bengals. And Adrian Peterson had a fine game. If you picked him up, you're very happy with what you got. 23 for 118. Shop him around everywhere you can because not only do you not get the Dolphins, but now you get the Niners that shut down Malcolm Brown, the Minnesota Vikings, the Buffalo Bills, and then a buy. You're getting nothing. You can drop Adrian Peterson to me. My goodness. So trade him. Before we move into the wide receiver studs, want to thank our sponsors. Quip.

Jason, what actually makes a better toothbrush is it? Industrial strength, power, multiple modes. I would say it's probably both. I would say I would ask my dentist. And my dentist tells me it's less about the brush. It's more about how you use it. That's why you need quip. I've got a quip.

My wife's got a quip. My kids have a quip. The nice thing about when I got a quip, I actually did learn more about how to brush because they have that little thing in there. It's very instructive. It's a fantastic product. It's got sensitive vibrations and a built-in timer. This is what we're talking about.

Yeah, just break your mouth into quadrants. Exactly. And you're going to be even cleaner than you could possibly imagine. And they will deliver you a new brush head every three months for clean bristles right on schedule. You don't have to worry about. No nasty toothbrush. Don't think about it.
