Fantasy Football 2017 - Starts of the Week + Week 6 Matchups

that's the role in games that he's actually played the whole game he hasn't had less he hasn't had fewer than six receptions nice correction yeah the grammar patrol if you want proper grammar you know where to go you go to me you go to jason more uh grammar extraordinary that's that's wrong right there

All right. So Danny Amandola last week, eight for 77. They use him in the red zone as well. He's got a touchdown two weeks ago. I think this is a matchup where Danny Mandola, right now he's healthy. You start him. Rule 80 dash a lip. Very nice. Jay Grizz. Kendall Wright is his call. Can't get behind it, Jay. Yeah, I cannot either. At the tight end position, I'm starting Austin, Safarian Jenkins. He's getting the Sir Mixelot. Double up. Ooh, ooh, ooh, because he was a start last week came through.

Since coming back from his suspension, he's been a tight end one. That's where we are. He's getting targets. He gets the Patriots. I'm playing Austin Safarian Jenkins and I'm feeling good about it. All right. I really like that. I said he's a start for sure. And I think he has the potential to be, you know, a top six. He could be somebody. I think he could be a top six tight end rest of season. I mean, I'm not.

calling for that, but he's got the talent and the role and the landscape of tight ends where that's high enough odds where you can kind of project that. The guy that I'm going with, my goose. Oh, the goose is totally loose. How loose is the goose? Come on, oh, you offense. All right. Hunter Henry, the goose himself. He has been more and more. Shake your caboose. He has. He had eight targets last week.

That's what you want from Hunter Henry. You want him running routes. You want him being involved in the passing game. And he's still available on some waivers. He was dropped because of the double goose in a lot of leagues and he's been forgotten about. But he's got a touchdown the last two weeks. Antonio Gates is not all that involved. Philip Rivers has always used the, you know, he's always used the tight end.

better than just about any quarterback in modern history, which is why, you know, is it Gates or is it Philip Rivers? Say, to be fair, he has a Hall of Fame tight end. But did he make the Hall of Fame tight end? Yeah, chicken or egg. You know, I believe that this is a matchup where Hunter Henry is startable. There's no tight end other than Zackerts that I'm looking forward to starting every single week. Hunter Henry could goose, but I think the goose is going to get loose.

All right. And we're going to keep this bit going because that's what we do, Jay Gris. Who's your tight end? Zach Miller. I can get behind Zach Miller. Yeah. Yeah. There's worse options out there. All right. Now we have to go to the most important, the most important start of the week. Jason Moore's ironclad, locked and loaded, 100% guaranteed boom, boom, boom kicker of the week. Before Jason.

unleashes just fire. He actually transforms into a dragon and fire erupts from his mouth like a volcano. But I have to, if you're not on the YouTube footline, Jason, Jason was, was preparing during that drop. He's stretching. He's doing vocal warmups. So this better be good. Justin Tucker. He is my start of the week. As I said, no, no, no. He's your boom boom kicker of the week. He's my boom boom.

Ironclad locked and loaded 100% guaranteed boom boom kicker of the week. Justin Tucker, he, look, coming in, everyone drafted him as the number one kicker. The Baltimore offense has been bad, but they've been getting better. This is a good matchup to move the ball. Justin Tucker was great last week, and so he's my locked and loaded guarantee. Boom, boom. So Jason, you're saying that Justin Tucker owners should.

Should not sit him. It should play him. Yes. It's a dumb segment from the get-go, Brooks. We shouldn't ever talk about kickers. Get them out of your league. You know what, kickers? Kick them out. Ooh. Kick the kickers. It's like the back. So when I make the double word pun, it's terrible. Look, I don't claim that all mine are good either. Can I get a ruling on kicking the kickers, Brooks? Oh, Judge DiMati.

No good. No. Got to stay consistent. All right. Fair enough. All right. And before we close the show out, we have to mailbag because we, I see a question in here that has to be tackled. Oh, mailbag. Thank you for the backup. Yeah. This one comes in from Jesse in effing him. Commissioner issues. Banjo. What do you do as a commissioner? If a team said they would trade hunt.

for Levy on Bell. Problem is they traded Akeem Hunt, not Kareem Hunt. Technically he didn't lie. He traded Hunt for Bell. The other owner simply assumed they were getting Kareem. Yeah. Curious, what are you going to do on this? Without a doubt, if I'm the commissioner, I'm undoing this trade. I realize that the owner should have. Where is the responsibility on the owner?

I think that there is... When the trade comes in and you see it's a hunt, read the fine prints. No, there is... I think there's gentlemen's rules unspoken. Okay, you know why he made the trade. Everyone knows why he made the trade, except it wasn't the real reason. It's not the player that was assumed. And the player that's offering that...

Right? The one that's trying to get one over on them? The sneaky wins. I mean, come on me. No, if I was the commissioner, I would 100% undo it. And I would assume that I would have the support of 11 of 10 of the other owners if it's a 12 team league. So if you're in a draft and someone accidentally takes Akeem Hunt in the second round, would you have stopped the draft and let them reverse it? It's, it's, uh,

A slightly different situation. It's pretty similar. I mean, there's user error. Yes, there is user error, but there was no one trying to deceive you. That's the difference. I'm just trying to be the devil's advocate over here. You have to overturn that. That is garbage. Get a quick question. Oh, from Brooks across the room. Bonjour. What if it's just an agreement in like their Facebook message or something, just hunt for.

I assume that's what happened is they said this person thought they were being a sneaky Pete and said, hey, I'll give you hunt for Levion Bell. They just did not specify which hunt they were going to send it. They could have even said. Well, at some point, they accepted it through the system and it would say a hunt. That's why I'm saying there's user error, but come on people. Yeah. You got, we got to do better. And we will try to do better tomorrow. As always, thank you for checking out the show, foot clan.
