MRI today on his knee injury same knee that the injury that he suffered in training camp the right knee tried to power through card it off couldn't get it done uh I don't think we're going to like

going to miss a little bit of time and most likely Jake Ferguson to doesn't seem like a serious injury for Jordan Addison or for Kenneth Walker but we will talk all things here got some snap counts I want to share with you guys and and some usage as well so uh before we get to the top performers let's uh let's tee up this uh Monday Night Football game between the Jets and the 49ers it's been a minute hasn't it since we've seen Aaron Rogers complete a pass it's been nearly 600 days since Aaron Rogers has completed a pass in the NFL I didn't think he looked all that good in uh his final season in Green Bay of course it was his first one without Devonte Adams had some nice moments there of course uh with Christian Watson and things like that uh tonight I feel like I I know I gave you guys um Jets plus four and a half I'm I'm still still riding that one out plus 4 and a half I've seen some line movement I saw 3 and a half earlier this morning 4 4 and A2 uh Prop Shop parl calculator two tools that are free over at ftn fantasy.com if you want to get the best number save yourself a little bit of time and a little bit of cash as well uh I do feel like the ners will win this football game by a field goal I don't think it's going to be uh high scoring we have a total of 43 if you want to back the ners like on the money line it's like minus 200 so uh not ideal not my jam and if you want to back the Jets is an under dog I'm seeing the best possible number over at FanDuel plus 176 uh so yeah just looking at different books here and spreads I for example uh plus four for the Jets plus four for the Jets over at DK fandal plus four and a half Caesars is four B Rivers is four and a half as well but of course like nowadays with all the books you can do whatever spread you want alternate spreads and things like that uh I I think the Niners went by a field goal right so my own pool I picked Jets plus four and a half but you know I think the safe play quotequote safe play would be uh the two and a half now uh I wasn't great in terms of sides on the show uh I did have nine correct in in the spreads but I gave you guys some some losers on this show so proceed with caution I was on the Titans we did get the Jags cover late but I I had them on the money line to win that game and uh on the Titans it looked good until will Levis just uh man he did not look good in that game Caleb Williams didn't look good in that game either uh but props are okay touchdown props I think we hit five of the 10 we wanted to do a little bit better than that but we're on the plus side uh and the props I think we went four for six uh in the props so let's share a couple here and see if we can get going uh and keep things going um for the iTunes and Spotify listeners read it off for you guys you know my favorite one is is Bree Hall over 26.5 receiving errand he has a catch prop of four and a half which is quite high he had 76 grabs last year led the NFL and a lot of those catches down the stretch of the Season you know when you know piss poor play at the quarterback position right getting double digit targets quarterbacks just like checking it down non-stop you know Rogers is going to use him quite a bit we've seen it in Camp uh we saw great connection between Rogers and Aaron Jones brce Hall's is terrific with the ball in his hands and he's a great pass catching running back I've lean with the 26 and a half you know I think the offensive line is is improved in New York but I still believe that they're going to want to get the ball out pretty quick here uh tonight against BOS and Company and the 49ers so brace Hall over 26.5 receiving yards we can get this on one catch maybe a couple catch catches I do expect him to get three or four catches in this game and you know there could be some garbage Time stuff all those things but Bree Hall uh this time last year coming off the the knee injury took him a little bit to get going although he did look fantastic in his first game against the bills but he didn't get a lot of run I think he only had like 10 carries or so and then in the second half you could really see uh that he was good and he was ready to go uh so Bree Hall I think will be a factor in this game but I think more so through the air than on the ground I the way to really beat the N is give us some big explosive plays through the air uh last year you know Mike Williams is on a pitch count this is a guy who was a sit for us I'll say I'll say one thing about Mike Williams his props are pretty low you know 26 and a half receiving yards is the best number I'm seeing at 365 uh at bet Rivers he's got 28 and a half again same same price but different number why wouldn't you take the 26 versus the 28 so that's why the The Prop Shop is just so uh darn cool and his receptions two and a half is plus money I would if you're going to take a shot on him it would be receiving yards 26 and a half it would be longest reception for him at 15 and a half be like an anytime touchdown at plus 310 but again know that he is going to be on a pitch count here uh and he is going to be fairly limited that being said we have him for 30.1 receiving errors on 2.7 grab so uh there is a slight Edge in the receiving yard prop at 26 and a half but I would be cautious of him uh and I would stay clear of Brennon auk tonight the numers pretty low in terms of just a receiving yard prop at 55 and a half we have auk in our projections at 54 receiving yards oh that numberers come down quite a bit so so probably some UND coming in on brandan auk so there is an edge here then according to our projections in his number at 49.5 receiving a but I'm just staying clear anyways like he can do that on one or two grabs as well like Mike Williams but he's goingon to have to deal with s like s Gardner is going to be on him today and the Jets allowed the second fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks they allowed the fewest points to wide receivers and buy a wide margin between them and the next closest team and they only allowed five wide receivers to score touchdowns last year Tyreek Hill had one jayen wad had one I forget the other names off the top of my head Elijah Moore had one but there weren't a lot this is five right uh and they made quarterbacks look pretty silly last year Jaylen Herz went into New York Matt life looked like trash and that's kind of where it went downhill for them they won a few more football games after but that's where for me watching the Eagles offense was like oh it doesn't look good uh it doesn't look right and it kind of was like the blueprint to attack Jaylen Herz in the offense was dial up some pressure and get after uh Jaylen Herz and and force him into bad decisions and that that's what we saw we've seen uh Josh Allen multiple times over the past couple years like he could beat up on Miami all day long bills are actually dogs against Miami on Thursday Night Football I early Le to them winning the game but he has not looked good against the Jets secondary Patrick Mahomes did not look good against the set Jets secondary last year so that's why I feel like they can do enough to keep them in this football game make this a field goal game uh the lean to the under and that's why I have Brock pie here for an interception you know Brock pie uh against Baltimore last year a good defense I think he threw four picks against Cleveland last year he struggled on the road as well you know certainly an an accurate quarterback there's no question about that and the play calling is phenomenal and Kyle Shanahan and and all those Yak Monsters uh but Brock pie you know he was super efficient last year uh but in games where he played against some tougher opponents uh he did struggle at times so yeah the four picks against Baltimore uh he had the uh two picks against Cincy he had the pick against Cleveland where he had a a 44% completion rate in that game against the Browns he had a 56% completion rate in that game against the Ravens uh so for the most part he was he was pretty much on point and accurate especially with Trent Williams there and Debo there and both of those guys will be there so that benefits him but uh I got plus 105 here at bmgm for Brock py to throw an interception uh so Bree Hall over 26 and a half receiving yards I like Tyler Concklin I think he's sneaky at over 29.5 receiving yards I like him too to score a touchdown if you were looking for a long shot touchdown uh pick today it would be Tyler Conklin this is what I gave on the serious show uh this earlier today uh he was plus 425 for an anytime touchdown and I do believe that was over at DraftKings yes like Again The Prop Shop is just so darn cool V Rivers is hanging plus 228 DraftKings is plus 425 uh we almost hit a a 95 to1 two touchdown prop for Isaiah likeley last week uh cocklin would be my guy here today on the jet side 37 to1 but I don't expect to see a lot of touchdowns on the other side would be Debo you know CMC is completely Juiced I think auk is going to get locked down I'd be looking at KD or or Debo right we know that they can use Debo in multiple ways it's why I have him over 47.5 receiving aards here I was leaning catches over four and a half because you know some bubble screens and whatnot and then I was looking at Rushing plus receiving I did that with Jameson Williams last night it did not matter uh over 40.5 rushing and receiving for J hit pretty early he had over 100 yards C game for J we' love to see that breakout candidate for us here at ftn but Debo Samuel you know I I link with the 47 and a half as opposed to the rushing and receiving which is over 60 I'm sure we'll see some Rush attempts from him end rounds like how healthy is CMC his Rush attemp prop is only 15.5 and the way to beat the Jets really is on the ground to kind of run it down their throats to some quick passes and whatnot avoid that secondary short intermediate type stuff which does benefit Debo Samuel here so 47.5 receiving yards for him I got the Brock py interception I got Tyler Conlin over 29.5 receiving airs touchdown prop at plus 425 for Tyler Conlin and and then Garrett Wilson at over five and a half catches at minus 135 some of these numbers may have changed uh put them in late last night before I crashed into our Discord so if you have the betting package with us then you get uh that's part of the perks you get it right away uh seeing our projections and sharing some stuff here with you guys uh we have Garrett Wilson for 70.5 receiving yards on 5.6 catches we have Debo for 55 receiving yards for 4.2 catches so a significant Edge there in receiving yards for Debo at over 47.5 again iuk 4.1 grabs 54.2 receiving yards and George KD at 44.2 yards on 3.6 catches we have CMC for 36 receiving yardage 4.6 catches there is an edge uh according to our projections we have him for nearly 17 rushing attempts and just 15.5 like how healthy is he right he didn't he wasn't at any any no preseason games hardly Camp he just touched the field last week really for the first time beat reporters in San France say he looks awesome he looks like CMC right watching him he's he's got the same burst and explosiveness he just looks like a stud on the field and I think that if he was fully healthy and there was no and there's no injury tag next to his name we can assume he's fully healthy but uh the fact that he missed some time in Camp it's a low number that rushing attempt prop is pretty low 15.5 we're really used to seeing 17 plus from CMC uh especially in games where they win and they are favored uh so if you're looking for more I would lean to the over Christian mcaffry on the rushing intemp props again Mike Williams we have for 30.1 receiving yards we have Bree hall for 27.9 so a slight Edge there but I think that's fairly low I think he'll live in the 30s here tonight and Jawan Jennings is also pretty sneaky like if you're playing DFS tonight I would avoid iuk I I would get Bree Hall and CMC in my life maybe some of the defenses in my life and I would avoid both quarterbacks like I would just like Debo is a guy that I would consider uh maybe spending down on a guy like Jan Jennings Mike Williams is like you just hope he scores a touchdown but again there's a pitch count there so I'd be pretty cautious with him so one more time just to recap here and we'll uh we'll we'll put a pin on week one Garrett Wilson over five and a half grabs Bree Hall over 26.5 receiving yards Tyler Conlin over 29.5 receiving yards dbo Samuel over 47.5 receiving yards and Brock p with an interception at plus 105 Prop Shop Parlay calculator two tools that are your friend I like the under and I think the Jets cover the game but the Niners win by a field goal D welcome in what's going on miss the start what's good brother hopefully week one uh was good for you hell of a first football weekend usually one of my favorite weekends days but waiting uh for Jordan love news uh between Friday and Saturday almost killed me I have a lot of love shares I know you're a Packers guy as well uh not great to see how about that field right the Packers and the Eagles shouldn't be playing there um luckily nobody else got hurt and I know that's not why he got hurt and play at the end you don't want to see it but it stinks to see with like five seconds left and now I'm waiting to see what the Packers do right it it sounds like three to six weeks could be four avoided the significant injury for love I'd hang on to him you know you got some IR spots and and IR Plus or outs or things like that um otherwise you be looking at guys like Fields or or Baker Mayfield Jaden Daniels is is has rostered everywhere we had him as a as a top 10 quarterback over at FTM fantasy with the rushing floor you could see it uh but yeah we'll wait to see what happens but I would expect like you know I don't even think anill is that good but he's an upgrade I think over Malik Willis right you got you got playoff aspirations and you know certainly a downgrade for everybody in the Green Bay Packers offense uh without Jordan love and maybe a heavy dosage of Josh Jacobs here uh moving forward here are your top performers from week one saquon Barkley with three touchdowns told you guys in the offseason he had the easiest job in football last year hit behind the line of scrimmage 46% of the time in New York DeAndre Swift hit behind the line of scrimmage 27% of the time that from ftn data over at ftn fantasy.com and uh you know we saw Swift top five in rushing thousand yards last year my sanders can't do anything in Carolina it's not surprising how about the Panthers story for another day um Bryce young is not him uh but you know my sanders was also top five in rushing in a thousand yards so a great start for saquon Barkley could set records we had 30 to one shout it to my guy Dane Martinez for offensive rookie offensive player of the year on the uh Siri XM fantasy show and I'm not sure what the latest is I tell you right now it wouldn't be 30 to1 uh for saquon Barkley you know the offensive player of the year is uh like the non-quarterback war because the MVP always win it he's he's 10 to one over at B River he's eight to1 at Caesars uh for Sequon Barkley he's in for I think a big season should he say healthy Jaden Reed 32.1 again downgrade at the quarterback position he's going to be my favorite of the bunch you know I like Romeo dubs he was my second uh like ranked the Packers wide receivers like in a vacuum without ADP I would go Reed and dubs and then I really liked onav and Wicks but like Watson would be ahead of him but now moving forward over these next few weeks like I I have to downgrade Christian Watson right because he didn't even get a lot of looks in that game against the Eagles but he's going to get Red Zone looks he's the field stretcher but the how good's the quarterback play G to be at least Reed you can do some some short ad do stuff he's a terrific route Runner you can do some end rounds to try to get the ball in his hands and I think Romeo dubs would probably be the the next option there for whoever is under Center the quarterback position but but you kind of have to be patient you know Watson wouldn't touch my lineup Wicks I would consider moving on from if you drafted him super late we'll get into some waiver wire Replacements in a little bit uh Jaden Reed I you know he'd be like a wide receiver three flex but I'd like to play somebody else you know just moving forward just to kind of see what that offense may look like but clearly he is a terrific player route running abilities off the charts he's explosive with the ball in his hands GNA find a gon to have to find a way to get him the ball Josh Allen couple rushing touchdowns and that's what's frustrating about owning James cook Baker Mayfield fantastic Washington's defense just going to be brutal again this year they allowed the most fantasy points to wide receivers last year that's why we had Godwin as a start he found the end zone and we had Mike Evans here on the show as a touchdown he found the end zone Baker Mayfield has Detroit this week Baker Mayfield was a top 12 quarterback last year uh down the stretch of the Season he was fantastic and you like the weapons and Godwin and Evans McMillan is a guy uh that I like as well he scored a touchdown early on in that game I mean Jaylen McMillan actually led the Bucks in in snaps and outs run but that game was out of hand and they got a little bit of rest for Godwin and for Mike Evans but McMillan only had three targets one catch 32 yards and a touchdown but Baker missed him a couple times uh he really did he should have had a couple other passes maybe even another touchdown uh but Baker Mayfield again uh good down the stretch of last season he's got nice wide receivers we like McMillan's a player we like Rashad white catching balls over the backfield Bucky Irving looks like a player in their offense as well got Detroit Denver Philly coming up Atlanta the Saints some decent matchups for him moving forward it gets tough around week seven Baltimore week nine AKC week 10 San Fran by week 11 but uh Baker would be high on my list if I was a Jordan love owner uh if I had uh we'll get into it some quarterbacks that were really bad uh really bad in fact I'd rather have Baker Mayfield than Kaleb Williams the rest of the season and I don't know I don't think that's a hot take but that's really where I'm at uh in terms from fantasy football this is what we're talking about fantasy football Baker over Caleb rest of the season uh that's where I'm at Anthony Richardson 29 couple nice deep balls from a rich had the rushing touchdown Jaden Daniels did did not look great as a as a as a passer and I I said this on the show on Friday when I gave the Zack hers prop and we sweated it out to get er and Kel and we got Z and Eckler we just got it um it was nice to just get it but it was a sweat job I don't know if I'll go back to it but throughout the the preseason Washington was short intermediate type throw short get the ball quick they had like a five .5 a DOT like that is bottom the that's like Bryce young stuff that is average depth of Target that is not pushing the ball deep down the field at all and for Cliff Kingsbury calling the plays like he had to have watched Jon gain at LSU did he not he had to have seen his strengths this can't be the game plan for Daniels and Washington moving forward great you own him you took him at the end I said all summer that the gap between Anthony Richardson and Jaden Daniels should have been a lot tighter they have the same rushing floor and I think Jaden Daniels has a better deep ball than Anthony Richardson Richardson has a fantastic deep ball so that may be a bad take but that's how I feel at least I feel that he is a better decision maker than Anthony Richardson the weapons in the play calling is better in Indie so I understand why he went as high as he did and we have that four game sample size of him being really good scoring a rushing touchdown in every game at least averaging and than he did it yesterday uh but Jaden daniels's ADP was just too large but what I will say and I have some shares too and it's nice like he had nearly 30 points and you saw on the board he finishes as a qb1 top five quarterback like that's his ceiling the rushing yard prop was 38 and a half I'm really intrigued to see what it'll be next week as well because he had like 90 rushing yards but that's unsustainable I I said after Lamar Jackson game on Thursday night what he did is unsustainable as well he can do it Lamar was the most rushing yards he had in four years maybe it was because it was the Chiefs and he wants to be Kansas City it's a Kryptonite it's Thursday Night Football opening night I get it but you cannot have your quarterback running that much and taking that many hits Daniels took some hits yesterday it just can't be the game plan the short intermediate stuff is interesting to see I would like to see more deep balls we saw one to dami Brown in the preseason he had zero targets mclen had what two catches didn't do anything really in that game uh it was a lot of Brian Robinson Jr and aadd Daniels but listen that can't be the game plan moving forward he just will not be able to stay healthy forget this year long term right long term is the 12 different quarterback Taran mcclaren's had here in year six right like figure this out Washington protect and uh I'd like to see a different game plan that was really interesting to see how uh they employed the game plan there in in that football game uh so but a good game rushing's there rushing touchdown design runs like it looks like a player let's see him push the ball down the field uh I know the the old line is is doesn't have a lot of strengths to it and I understand the defense is trash so they're going to have to kind of figure this thing out with Daniels and a game plan better gameplay moving forward Lamar is right there Joe Mixon right there's some talk Joe Mixon would get the same type of workload from Deo Ryan uh he said that that he got in ciny and that was the case I would not be selling high on Joe Mixon right some people want to sell High you know there's gonna be some overreactions but what what what are we getting for Joe Mixon here you're not getting saquin you're not getting seamc you're not getting dejon you're not getting Bree Hall uh you're not getting Derrick Henry if you could would you do it I could consider I would consider maybe mixing over Derrick Henry I there's reasons to be a little bit concerned of Derrick Henry the the three new dudes on the offensive line but I don't think he's going to get game scripted out too much because it's Baltimore the defense is good they're playing Kansas City there was a lot of Justice Hill Harbaugh did tell us there' be a lot of Justice Hill this year but I think Henry's going to score like 15 16 touchdowns so I'd be fine with that but like who are you who are you trading for you're not I'd rather have Mixon than than Walker than Aaron Jones like I love James Conor he was a Target but you know give me Mixon slightly ahead of James Conor I wouldn't sell James Conor either you know he may miss some time but he's a stud uh you're not getting Gibbs you're not getting a chance so like just ride this thing out I guess what I will say is if you're loaded at the running back position uh there was somebody in my league that started saquan Henry and Mixon uh his wide receivers are not fantastic so you could potentially Buy Low on a wide receiver and move Mixon for a wide receiver but I would not be moving him to get another back I think he is going to get a full workload he led uh week one in terms of attempts with 30 uh touches with 33 uh he get the goal line work man mixon's been he's been more than serviceable in fantasy football over the last few years really like he's not been efficient but he's finishes as a top 10 RB almost every year fantasy points per game for for certain and he just a couple years removed from the top five finish now he's in he could say it's a better offense the way that the Bengals ran theirs yesterday know T Higgins and Jamar Chase was 100% but the o line is not bad mixing Rand behind some pretty trash o lines in Cincinnati and the offense is great and even with him getting 30 touches the big three in tank Dell and Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins still combined for nearly 30 targets so everybody uh eight in that game uh Cooper cup 21 targets we're waiting on puka AA but if there's no puka AA like Cooper cup I don't think he's going to get 21 targets every week but double digit targets look at the 2021 campaign he had he's healthy that 2021 campaign you go look at the game log right quick uh 191 targets and 145 catches wow like that season I'm looking at it he had he had five catches in every game he had double digit catches in 1 two 3 four five games he had double digit Targets in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 games he had at least seven Targets in every single game down the stretch of the Season he didn't uh he just it was seven against Baltimore and seven against San Fran um yeah that's that's that's playoff stuff too January 2 January 9 uh so he was he was a beast and he going to be a beast this year too Tyreek Hill Jameson Williams and the last guy on that board is I say h like guy at 22.6 fantasy points so uh not surprised to see J you know little bit surprised to see that he was the go-to guy in third down and you know La just played Detroit and they just got burned by Alan R st Brown and Company so clearly the focus was you know prove it that you're gonna beat us in a different way you know uh leaport had some looks at the end gof didn't play great uh Detroit ran the ball please let both teams get a possession in overtime in the regular season what are we doing here uh but J Mo Breco is here right following the Tik toks this is not a Victory lap two guys that I really liked have a lot of shares of is J and Isaiah likeley and for Jameson Williams you could feel the breakout towards the end of last season we had him on this show on Friday for an anytime touchdown he had the two in the NFC Conference Championship game against the ners W one on the ground one through the air uh and then he had the touchdown yesterday I believe in a big season for him I think he will be Boomer bust but eight targets is significant nine targets I think eight catches over a 100 yards you know that he's explosive you saw it at Bama in year one the significant injury not touching the field till week 13 seasons's The Lost year two missed the first six games due to a suspension I don't want to say the seasons a loss but you are behind the eightball and now with the first team offense you know ball out in Camp looking great I think he's in for a big role uh but I do believe that uh amanra will be fine he'll be fine uh but hey maybe the the volume won't be as high as we thought as long as J can stay healthy uh this season I I certainly like him uh no other takeaways uh from the top there I'm going to roll through some snap count stuff uh all this stuff can be found over at ftn Fantasy just going to roll through uh a few things I think one of the big Winners that was not on that board is JK Dobbins uh JK Dobbins looked great he the explosiveness was there uh he had two really good runs Gus Edwards was running into the offensive line and he's limited anyways you're kind of tipping your hand when Gus Edwards is on the field you know why because you know he's not going to catch a pass out of the back field where J JK Dobbins can do a little bit of everything he can catch some passes I think he had three grabs not for a lot but he had three catches and he looked more explosive there was a couple times where he burst outside on the left side and then took it down the field he got caught at the end but hey the explosiveness was there he hadn't played football in quite some time it was really good to see played 57% of the snaps Gus Edwards played 42% of the snaps and JK Dobbins is owned in fewer than 60% of Yahoo league so he's up at the top the waver wire rankings and we'll get to running backs in a little bit but uh Dobbins will be ranked for me I needed to see it I didn't think I'd see it this early right it's like I was on the Gus bust rushing attempt prop over 11 and a half he had 11 needed one more uh or is 10 and a half needed one more from him I think that no gaso carried him 11 to 10 that was right I need one more from Gus who was 11 and a half plus money and I was in I thought he get some goal line work you know they put him in the on the field at the end when when JK Dobbins had that big run they kept him in for a couple plays so it's not a lock that Gus is gonna get that goal line work that I thought he'd get the uh he'd be the lead it's not a lock and moving forward uh we'll have to rank JK Dobbins to low in rb2 like forget about it in Carolina like chuba hubber I don't care if this guy's a starting back or not he's not touching my starting lineup in fact no Panthers would and that includes Deontay Johnson I would not want to have any shares of Deontay Johnson I watched that game yesterday and it looks like it's going to be another long season for the Carolina Panthers and Bryce young like you got your hands full Dave canals uh with this offensive Squad and I'm not super excited about Jonathan Brooks either right you're gonna have to move the football so boxes won't be stacked and Jonathan Brooks will help this offense because he can offer a whole lot more than G than chuba and also my sanders who got a little bit of run yesterday as well but at the same time like you got to show me that you can move the ball down the field and Bryce young so far has not shown us that so we'll talk about some other wide receivers I at the end of the show I'm gonna kind of go through like a panic rankings and and talk about some dudes that were were not great sticking with running backs it's easy for me to get sidetracked here on a Monday appreciate you guys T taking time to hang out I'm excited football's back let's go uh so that was surprising to me and a good surprise right guys boom uh how about Blake corm forget zero touches guy didn't get a snap he didn't get a snap and roughly two weeks ago when Shawn McVey said that Kiren would return kicks everybody lost their mind no chance I can't draft Kiron you kidding me and I have some concerns whether he can hold up I do and Shawn mcfay he this guy throws his curve balls all the time with running backs he's always drafted one right after Gurley was like oh you know we like Daryl Henderson we like Michelle we like Ronin Rivers we like Jake Funk we he can go on for days and he drafted corm in the third and km's a good short yardage back but you guys can't tell me you were in shock to see Ronnie Rivers get two carries and seven snaps and Blake corm have zero snaps anyways Kiron played 71 of 78 snaps he like 91% of the snaps so back to being the guy we'll see if he can hold up over the full course of the season because he didn't last year his rookie season he couldn't really touch the field because of some injuries and when he came back he got this type of work and this type of usage in the last few weeks it was very CMC like so we'll see I wouldn't drop Quorum I don't have any shares of Quorum I don't have a lot of kirn either I was just kind of concerned with how this thing would play out I have some early kirn from when you know cor was getting talked up and you could get kir in the third is like are 10 or 11 uh I wouldn't drop him because you probably spent like an eighth round pick on him so it it's all about context but I I guarantee you corm is gonna be the most dropped we we just have to do a show on Wednesday and taco aiver is most out and most Dro because he will be the one of the most dropped running backs and I think that would be a mistake because if you believed at all you had to have to take him in the eighth or the ninth round you had to have believed so unless you're in some sort of eight or 10 Team league where you can just ditch him and pick up a jul mlin for example like I like mlin more than Corin moving forward you can make that swap if you want but let's also keep in mind it is week one and the reason you probably draft Corum was because somebody told you or you thought yourself that Kiren can't hold up and that corm would eventually get some run it may happen it's just one week but that was an interesting takeaway for zero snaps and zero touches the Cincinnati backfield kind of played like how I thought it would play out right I've been team Moss over Chase Brown I said on Friday that it may look like the Steelers backfield where Chase looks better Warren looks better than nii but Na's getting the touches Na's getting the work on the ground the early first down goal line stuff as the quote unquote veteran back that's how things played out yesterday and they were behind in that game and there was no T Higgins and Jamar Chase wasn't 100% you have all those factors and still Zack Moss played 64% of the snaps he had nine carries to chase Browns three he had 13 opportunities that's carries plus targets to chase Brown six he had two Red Zone rushing attempts Zach Moss one which converted to a touchdown I don't think Zach Moss is a guy that can handle 10 plus carries week in and week out he was the biggest ADP Riser and I just didn't understand why again it's week one I can still be completely wrong about this backfield I think that Moss is going to dominate the early down work I think he's going to be the goal line work and I think Chase will get his opportunities you know third down stuff explosive you know catching balls out of the back field he still had a couple carries he did have one Red Zone rushing attempt that offense didn't look good at all yesterday no T Higgins Yos vaj acting as the second I like Yos but let's be real he's more of a three in the slot uh picking up for Tyler Boyd and Chase Brown was or Jamar Chase rather was you know limited so I'm not super shocked with this backfield on how it played out we'll see how it plays out moving forward maybe they get away from Moss but they still wanted to run the ball with moss being down uh and I do expect him to be first and second down stuff listen injuries have popped up with him too so I wouldn't be panicking and dropping Chase Brown like I'm not going to make a whole lot of drops myself it's week one right so we we're two carat away we'll talk some waiver wire stuff here but there are reasons to be concerned about certain dudes but I don't think you should be dropping guys that you pick in the eth but I'm team Mo I'm team Moss over Brown before the season started right now rest of the season I am as well I think that us to what we saw last night is gonna be very similar moving forward the Titans Tony par 60% of the snaps tajy Spears 45% but the opportunities dominated by uh Tony par 20 to eight the carry 16 to4 so we saw some taji Brian Callahan did tell us it would be like a a hot hand thing split the backfield with both of these guys but it's clear to me that Pard is the lead that's why we had the n and a half receiving yard prop for Pard we got that one pretty early was nice to see uh will Lev struggled significantly and uh I am I'm I'm on record saying that will Levis is in for a Breco campaign and that he can be serviceable in fantasy as a superflex option that was not a good first start and it was a tough defense against Chicago I don't know what he was doing with some of those throws like dude don't have to just toss it away like that just take the sack right you weren't like in field goal range or anything just take the sack kick the ball move forward like the defense played good in Chicago the defense played good in Tennessee uh but they gave that game away on special teams and with some just some silly Mistakes by uh will Levis but Tony Pard good for first game for Pard you know uh had him ranked as like a flex play low nrb to but you know you can feel good about that game they got the Jets next week which so it's not going to be good for will Lis again uh but par catch a balls some balls into the back field uh some early down Red Zone stuff taji Spears kind of acted as a little bit of a change of pace guy but more as like a pass catching third down running back uh two other backfields that I was surprised with the usage in Denver gavonte Williams only played 52% of the snaps jalum mlin played 34% of the snaps the opportunities though 15 to 10 for mlin and he edged Javon in terms of carries I thought we'd see a little bit more javante actually thought we'd see a little bit more uh of the ground game here like being that it's B Knick's first game tough environment to play Seattle and the Seahawks although the personnel and the coaching is different a little bit the Personnel a lot really when you bacon McDonald and um grub but they were really weak against running backs last year like second most fantasy points allowed second most rushing touchdowns and they didn't even really try to run and Shawn Payton's offense use both use both backs like that's not going to be surprising he's going to use both of these backs you're going to catch I like McLaughlin he should be owned we may have to think about him as a flex play we have to downgrade Javon here a little bit like just getting eight carries and only playing 52% of the snaps is is interesting to me not in a good way if you're a javante guy J Jalil was I thought a great late round Target got him on the waiver wire list like I I would rather him than any of the Carolina PS you know what I mean like I still probably lean Brooks over him because it's the ceiling but like chuba hobber like just move on right for from chuba or you know Ford good you continue to roll out Ford I I keep him the Dallas Cowboys backs like I like Zeke Zeke scored the touchdown we get into the Dallas a little bit but Zeke scored the touchdown he's gonna catch a couple passes like he's kind of serviceable as a flex Rico D's like Wai and see not touch my roster but J glin should be on rosters bonck threw the ball 42 times again I was pretty surprised at how much he he chucked the football we did get the rushing attempt over three and a half with the sweat that one out he got five he had the rushing touchdown at the end uh or else we wouldn't have gotten that one but we did get it at the end but interesting to see that usage McLaughlin you know stock up Williams stock down but we're not getting carried away and dropping guys uh the Raiders uh this is an early loss I need to take I'm sitting here Pat myself on the back for some things let's take an L for for this one zamir white was uh he's a guy that I really like drafting in the seventh and eighth round I thought the usage would be there for him now he did have 13 carries to Alexander M White's uh or Madison's five carries but uh he put the ball on the ground he put the ball on the ground uh I like Pierce going back to him after he put the ball on the ground that was a positive it was nice to see he started like getting some uh decent runs in the second half of that game but it's clear third down usage uh Madison his team's probably G to be playing from behind quite a bit mchu didn't look good he didn't he didn't look good he was careless with the football it stins that Devonte Adams is on this squad the target should be there he plays a lot of the snaps but how catchable are these targets they ran a lot of 13 yesterday that's three tight ends they ran a lot of 13 uh yesterday so a lot of a lot three Ted ends Brock Bowers uh a big first game for Brock Bowers I'm looking at it here he played 41 of 60 snaps ran 31 routes he had seven targets uh so he got a lot of he got a lot of work man uh for somebody who's on uh you know with Michael Mayer and here's and Bryant there so it was a it was a lot of work for him they didn't run a lot of 13 but they ran some which is uh which interesting to me uh but good first game for Bowers when a lot of tight end ones didn't have good first game so it's like a a positive pit score to touchdown concade where are you Andrews Kelce uh just some quiet dud games from some Ted ends and Ferguson and joku are hurt uh so it's gonna be the the we week one waiver wire is be full of tight ends it's interesting to see how that all plays out but uh Adams on the field 58 of 60 snaps 39 Reds run had the six targets there but interesting usage Madison's a guy that should be rostered too but I don't care about like okay I don't want to come off zamir white I still believe that zamir white will be the lead you hope that there's better games for him first down second down did two passes but it's not what he's really going to do but Madison did have a good game and he wasn't great as the guy in m in MIDI last year but he was good when he was like spelling cook so Madison you know he may show up this year at times right we may have to think about him as like a pass catching running back PPR Flex get to by weeks injuries when the Raiders play from behind maybe a couple grabs he did have receiving touchdown in that game yesterday uh other back fields here uh Washington Brian son Jr looked good 55% Austin Eckler 59% but um with Austin Eckler you know four catches it's just like from behind stuff you know what I mean like playing from behind some some catches and stuff Brian Robinson looked good he should be the lead and I'd say he's the goal line back but of course uh Jame D has something to say about that a couple rushing touchdowns Rashad white 69% Bucky Irving 31% Bucky Irving looked good uh great light round flyer uh what I have to say about that is no Dave Canalis new regime uh they drafted by Buck Rashad white has been one of the most least efficient running backs in the NFL over the past couple years the Bucks have been like dead last and rushing over the past couple years uh sub four yards per carry in the last two years uh but White's still going to get his like he nearly 70% is good uh goal line work I would give him the lean of holding that role the whole way but again if he struggles between the tackles like this regime could be like Bucky like he had a couple nice runs right uh he can catch the ball to the backfield I think he's is going to steal some of those targets although Rashad white still had four catches uh but Bucky is uh out of all the rookie running backs he probably has the clear clearest path besides Jonathan Brooks like besides Brooks Marshon Lloyd is hurt he's got to deal with he wasn't even active he's gotta deal with Jacob's work course back Blake korm right no snaps didn't touch the ball right inactive right you got achan and mo start there something needs to happen to one of those two to see him get some work Ray Davis it's some work I think he caught a pass and couple touches but you know it James Cook had a a healthy workload plus you got Josh Allen with two rushing touchdowns he's the goal line back uh brayan Allen by the way I meant to say this brayan Allen and and Jordan Mason pick them up wherever you can in Yahoo leagues leagues that allow you to drop bench spots so drop like a maybe an injury or you know somebody that you just took a flyer on that you don't really care for anymore uh that you you want to cut like I don't know Jamaine Burton maybe you draft the Le like you coick up brayan Allen or Mason now uh it's like a it's like a Yahoo sports thing I've been talking about this for years if an injury happens to CMC or Bree Hall you know everybody's G to be going to the waiver wire for those guys so I always pick up like a a backup running back uh if they're available on Monday night football Sunday Night Football even um not so much Thursday night but like just bench guys right bench guys that play that you're you're thinking or you have an extra roster spot so you get ahead of the the wave wire should that happened same thing like I was able to put Marsh Lloyd on IR or out uh on Yahoo and I picked up tank bsby I was just like ah just in case etn actually saw a little bit of tank bsby uh but now I may hold him if I didn't see a lot of tank Bigby i' just move on so it's just a little sneaky thing that you can do in Yahoo leagues or other leagues that allow you to to drop some guys here um continu with the back fields by the way etn 69% tank bsby 32% but when bigsby's on the field they got touches they both had 12 carries each etn had the costly fumble uh inside the end zone which would have I don't want to say put the game on of hand but it was It was a definitely a turning point was it not because after that Tyreek Hill had the 80 yard touchdown uh so and then Peterson went for it and fourth and the rest his history so it certainly was a turning point of the game uh and eten struggled in that role a couple years ago with some fumbles near the goal line but uh he did run hard and he looked pretty good but bsby had some touches and he didn't have a whole lot last year and Peterson did talk about him you know getting more work this year and scaling down et's workload but we did hear that uh in Peterson's first year there too so we'll we'll see how that does play out Aaron Jones 54% of the snaps Ty Chandler 36% the carries were a lot closer than I thought 14 to8 but it was the Giants Daniel Jones looked awful again like poor neighbors Daniel Jones is more like touchdowns to the other team than his own team since he signed that big $160 million contract so not a great start for them uh the Giants that is and Devon single ter like just like don't have any shares just like not interested at all and a team that's goingon to be one of the worst in football uh and you saw it Sequon you know how he struggled behind that line like single Terry man like good luck Rashad white 60 oh sorry Zeke 50 50% Rico D 44% the carries 10 to eight tough defense Cleveland Z Zeke at the goal line roll and that's why I'll always have him ranked ahead of dle that's why I think he's uh interesting as a flex play because he could maybe score a touchdown for you uh that's it for the running backs but uh I'm pretty sure I rock went through all the teams like heavy workload for Mixon ra Andre great I don't know how much you're going to be up in games that was good to see ra Andre if you draft him he's a really good running back Gibson really wasn't involved raand got a lot of the work so that's really nice to see but games SCP may not be in his favor moving forward quite often saquin all the work cook Kiren Connor Nai not efficient but Nai Warren played 31% of the snapsy Two Carries two Targets like Cordo Patterson had four carries I believe so Patterson played more than really Warren and Nai had the 20 carries Jonathan Taylor heavy work no targets interesting because he can catch we know that it's like a couple years move from R1 overall 50 plus catches will Richardson dump it off to him we we just run himself Pitman had a lot of targets and a lot of looks as third down stuff but I don't think he suits Richardson's game Pitman popped off last year when uh gner mchu overtook right some nice deep balls there Alec Pierce uh you know some nice deep balls Downs comes back soon kind of cuts into Pierce I think so like that's a trap I wouldn't be rushing the wave wire to get Alec Pierce like only in the deepest of deep leagues thought Downs today that he's trending in the right direction maybe returning this week ad Mitchell didn't do a whole lot so I'd probably Pump It pump the breaks a little bit on Alec Pierce uh it's like a DFS thing only but a couple nice balls for Richardson but I thought it was interesting no targets for uh Jonathan Taylor uh got some stuff here uh okay Evan Evan Patterson's in the house he's given some picks and some props uh we got CMC two touchdowns brce two touchdowns tie half uh is is a big payout there for sure I don't think we're see a lot of offense do a lot of points but um yeah I think the the running backs are going to play uh big today as well um okay yeah no imagine drafting Drake London round two LOL you're not you're not spamming that's just your name uh okay gotcha all right not a great game for Drake London at all but uh and reasons to be concerned because yes the Steelers defense topnotch topnotch top not we got plus 850 people know ftn you got plus 850 for them to win the division it's a long shot I think their defense will keep them in games uh and right now they're one and0 and everybody else in that division's 0 And1 but um defense is good so we'll give TJ watt credit right we'll give these guys credit that they deserve but when you watch Kirk Cousins play it's not on Drake London it's on Kirk Cousins because he didn't look healthy right the difference between him and Rogers with the Achilles is that's his planner foot for for cousins you watch some of those throws I was saying to myself like is that Desmond Ritter like again like 18 touchdowns in seven games for cousins last year better play caller CH mcvey's offense still Robertson and Company in Atlanta but better weapons but last year the Atlanta quarterbacks threw 17 passing touchdowns combined between hinei and Ritter in the 17 games and what I saw last night was very much the same four quarterback play in Falcon fans are probably like here we go again but first game Steelers not going to get any easier for cousins and Company in Philly at the link on M Night Football for their home opener in fact cousins this will be a third year in a Roker cousins has played uh against the Eagles in their home opener last year actually not too bad threw for a lot of yards uh played from behind a little bit uh two years ago pretty bad he got picked off a couple times by slay but yeah worry reason to be concerned about London and Pitts more so London because he was drafted as a top 10 wide receiver in beste ball but he was still an early second top 12 wide receiver on average and Kirk Cousins just didn't look good uh you know with his accuracy and he looked like he was afraid to kind of plant that foot right so those throws were were not great but one game but I would be concerned a little bit here with uh with Drake London here's the uh running back waiver wire rankings uh again I just I went with um Yahoo sub 60% I get it guys you know JK Dobbins owned in your league I get it you know but he's available he's available in like half of Yahoo leagues so he wasn't drafted was a good first game right we talked about that earlier in terms of the usage 57% of the snaps uh the carries were 11 to 10 for Gus he played 42% of the snaps but watching that game JK Dobbins looked explosive he looked good he's more Dynamic uh he can catch out of the Back Field he will be ranked as a top 24 running back do believe the Chargers have the Panthers this week so a good spot for JK Dobbins Zack shanet uh you know if you were look like it does sound like the injury when I put together this list last night it does sound like the injury to Kenneth Walker is not significant so I think that shanet is like a a good stash I the like if I heard that Walker for sure playing week two I put mlin here at two because shanet is not a guy that I think will be able to play like in our Flex spot as long as Walker's healthy McLaughlin is a guy that will be able to play as a flex play because even 34% of the snaps he had five more opportunities than Williams he had one more carry he can catch out of the backfield Payton likes to use both running backs you can go back to sprouls and chimra and Ingram and chimra right I mean running even last year per 50 plus grabs so you can you can probably play mclaughin when we get into the injuries and the bye stuff so I could easily put him at two again I didn't know about the status of Walker it sounds like he avoided significant injury Bucky Irving so like if you needed to start this week like again Walker if he's out it's chanet if you had Walker shanet you're looking for a flex play right now next week maybe mclin stash mclin stash Bucky Irving I don't know how great I'd feel I don't like to handcuff like having Bucky and white is not you know I feel like to handcuff other people's backs in case an injury happens and you have you know a top back it's like you don't want to play both back you're never going to want to play both backs you can't play it's like corm you can't play Quorum you know you definitely can't play him now but KY with kyen there like uh with Bucky Irving he may turn out to be a flex play option we'll see but a really good first game for him uh he certainly got some work and you know he had a great Camp a great preseason good running back hand a lot of touches in college uh had nine carries had a nice run there and can catch it over the backfield as well Ty Chandler the the usage may have been higher because of the game script I don't think the Vikings are going to blow it a lot of teams uh but at the same time Aaron Jones hasn't showed us he could stay healthy so Ty Chandler the fact that he was getting some carries he has a role as a third down pass catching back uh he is uh he's interesting to me Rico D again always going to be Zeke ahead of Rico could see Rico uh being better between the tackles and leading this team in rushing yards but uh as long as Zeke is healthy he's getting that goal on work he's just is po struggled in that role last year they missed Zeke in that role he's just getting that workload tank bsby again it's kind of like next man up you know nice to see the usage in week one nothing through the year but nice to see the the carries you know if etm fumbles a couple more times maybe we see a little bit more run I'm not concerned about etn but it's like that clear next man up on an offense that I think is okay Alexander Madison again talked about him earlier uh playing more snaps than white games CPT is going to be in his favor more times than white he's not going to get a lot of early down work although he did late in that game but they were playing from behind uh but Madison maybe just again better suited as a change of pace type of running back like he was with cook in Arizona so Madison is is somebody to consider s py i I like him too like catching balls out of the backfield he was limited in the first game he did have have a a reception he's a good back I mean Jerick McKennon had 13 receiving touchdowns in this offense over the past couple years you know you're can add Hollywood there's a lot more meths de feed in Kansas City that are at least more reliable than this time last year but perod could be that next ban up uh he could handle for full workload for a couple games should something happen to peo and I think Andy Reid will use him in the Red Zone probably never GNA want to start him though like that's why he's down this list something would have to happen to consider starting him I could see Justice Hill ahead of him Justin H got a lot of run last week Harbo talked about him getting run I don't think that the game script will be like that moving forward for the Ravens they played the Chiefs uh this is a team that has the Titans right I believe no I forget who they have this week uh but for most games he is going to uh get the early down work because they're going to be up in a lot of games just last week they were they were down in that game so that's uh that's what happened in that game we saw a little bit more Hill but we will see Hill in two-minute drills we will that's that shouldn't be a surprise to anybody uh when they're playing from behind we will see Hill uh he's he's he did a good job in that game as like a protecting Lamar at the Raiders this week so Henry should get a lot of work and we shouldn't see eight targets and six grabs from Justice Hill so those are the running backs uh here are uh actually we we'll talk about some wide receivers here before we toss up the wide receiver board I just want run through some wide receiver notes that I have uh Pittsburgh pickings and that's it a whole lot of pickings nobody else uh Marvin Harrison Jr Team high in terms of snaps and routes run but just three targets he had a Target early when he should have had a comeback at least Kyler thought it was a comeback route he ran a bit of a go route and uh Kyler kind of was like what are you doing you know like what's going on disconnection there and then went to him a little bit later on and he dropped a pass which is very very catchable so maybe Kyler just stopped looking his way uh dorch a whole lot of dorge a whole lot of Connor not overly concerned about Marv if dorch comes a thing becomes a thing then Marv won't become a thing but dorch is on the the waiver wire list here again first game haven't seen a lot of Marv throughout camp in preseason so maybe it just takes a little bit of time here but uh that's one of the guys that that had a dud heon Coleman led the bills in snaps and R run and targets uh Samuel just 17 snaps M Collins got in there and had a score but a really good first game from Keon Coleman right uh Josh Allen talked about just throwing in his Direction he's going to come down with it he did once for a catch uh another one towards the end zone that they had a disconnect there but Keon Coleman I thought it was a really good first game for the rookie uh being a rookie and and leaving the team in snaps and routes and targets is a good first game adun we're waiting to hear on a knee injury from him we'll see what happens he was second in snaps behind DJ third and targets ever played ahead of Co K Cole KT Dalton Schultz these guys were fades for me not interested in either of them Co KT is uh is a drop you need to move on from him Johan Johnson Colby Parkinson would take any of those guys Everett played over KT Everett played in Shane Waldren system before in Seattle and he's out there uh running more routes and you know in Chicago's camp they're talking about KT you know being a better run blocker this year it's not what you want to hear Hopkins limited 17 snaps tough match up this week against the Jets probably would be on my bench although SAU probably be on Ridley uh Jermaine Burton four snaps right like just so much needs to happen for Burton to to get on the field he needs to pass so many guys uh Houston 22 Comm on targets for the big three so that was good to see uh considering Mixon had so much run Diggs may just be a red zone guy like Nico Collins is my favorite of the bunch tank Dell is gonna get his looks and he's gonna have Boomer Bus games and move him around the formation but Diggs may just be the number one option for sear out in the Red Zone we certainly saw that yesterday uh Al Pierce as I mentioned earlier trap Gabe Davis team high in snaps and routs run Kirk third and snaps was he limited that was pretty interesting to see the usage Brian Thomas Junior season here Brian Thomas Jr is my second favorite rookie of the bunch over neighbors I'm talking redraft and man maybe even Dynasty but I G get ahead of myself over ran Junes and Dynasty I would say from a redraft standpoint Marv is still my favorite rookie and then I would go and then I would go Brian Thomas Jr and then I would go lad mcon and then I'm into neighbors then I'm into probably Odun maybe worthy Worthy is going to be very Boomer bust three touches two touchdowns you're going to bring in Hollywood I would I would make worthy available in my league unless who's your fourth wide receiver you're gonna just play him as your flex and you can afford those Boomer bus but Gabe Davis gonna be on the field a lot because he's a good blocker straight out Brian Thomas Jr almost had two touchdowns should had two touchdowns uh one touchdown yesterday you got to get him in your lineup even if you waited I waited in one League I I had him on the bench didn't play him on the flex he's going to be my every every lineup moving forward uh Legette team High seven targets four few snaps then Deontay Johnson six targets for thel just who cares honestly who cares Carolina looks brutal they're going to continue to look brutal uh Dave Canal is can only do so much know he's a quarterback Whisperer he did good things for Gino in Seattle did good things for Baker last year I think Bryce young is good enough I don't think you can see over the offensive line I don't think he can push the ball down the field concerns about the accuracy I was always team CJ Stout I'm shocked that the Panthers weren't Frank must have been forced to draft him had to have been forced to draft Bryce young like there's no way my guy rank Reich didn't didn't think that Stroud was more talented even watching the combine and seeing how smooth Stroud was watching him against Georgia and that defense and how good he played against them that year so Deonte I have zero shares and I am glad I don't have any I would not buy low I don't care if even the usage was puzzling he should be playing like 90% of the snaps because I was told us the offense is going to run through him week one's all about overreacting but I'm not overreacting on this I'm not the Saints defense is okay right like if you had the Saints defense yesterday you had the Saints kicker you had Kirk you had car is your second you had a great day because didn't do a whole lot Rashid Shah touchdown CRA touchdown T didn't do a whole lot Johan Johnson tou down like they beat up on the Panthers Clint kubak is GNA be good for this offense but at the same time the Panthers are going to be a bloody mess again this season and what does the ceiling look like for Deontay Johnson he has five touchdowns in his last 31 games five five his situation is no better in Carolina than it was in Pittsburgh it may be worse so I'm worried about Deontay I'm about London because of cousins but I'm more worried about Deontay Johnson neighbors 100% of the snaps Robinson wandell team High 11 targets the ceilings not there for him either it's like short a DOT stuff PPR only uh I feel for Neighbors he did good but those lines are going to be very similar because the ceiling I just wonder about D says he's going to continue with Jones this week they got Washington the commander secondary is awful if Jones can't be serviceable and neighbors can't give you more than what he gave you yesterday uh what you saw is what you're gonna get honestly like what you saw is what you're going to get seven targets five grabs 66 yards not bad 9.1 fantasy points he's getting drafted as wide receiver to I wonder if he'll have a wide receiver two type season uh in La vad is the guy Vlad is the guy right catch prop three and a half plus money giddy up got that one receiving yards giddy up got that one scored a touchdown yesterday Quinton Johnson a little bit more run than I thought no DJ CH in that game but good first game for Quinton Johnson DJ CH hasn't really been able to stay healthy Palmer didn't get a whole lot there they ran the ball PA Herbert didn't look good better match up against Carolina lad makoni get him in your starting lineups get him in right he's rookie wide receiver three I do like him more than worthy I do like him more than than neighbors and adun I just do not from a talent standpoint he's a great reput Runner and you saw the footwork on the touchd talent standpoint there's no question OD dun and neighbors over him but opportunity in the slot 2,000 plus total yards of offense gone with all the weapons that left that's a good first game for lad makoni Denver Sutton Reynolds B 27 combined targets B kind of like wandell in the slot short ad do stuff can you really count on that those guys had 27 combined targets and they didn't really do anything they weren't fantasy relevant bonck threw the ball 42 times pretty surprised him throw the ball that much but you can't really get excited about any of these guys suon kind of put in the same situation as Deontay Johnson not interested volume might be there may have some ceiling games don't care about them why four at best not interested McMillan team High 52 snaps 29 routes played ahead of Palmer for sure 20 snaps I said earlier had a touchdown could have had a couple more Baker missed him but great guy to stash great guy to stash in case anything was to happen to Mike Evans or Godwin and also like this guy may be involved and like a great Dynasty pick to great pick late if if you can afford to stash him in in a keeper League where you can keep him for cheap next year Godwin on the end of his contract like he could have a larger role fact that they spent like a I think like it was a third round pick on him it's pretty telling that they don't really believe in Palmer and they liked him so I thought it was a good first game for McMillan couple big DFS wins from ftn Subs McMillan was in some of those lineups mcaffrey Washington second and snaps targets Brown uh zero zero targets for diami brown zero targets and mclen yikes again the offense um pretty concerned actually saw them yeah better days ahead for scary you hope so this is a guy that I I I wanted in drafts right I mean the volume's always been there thousand yards in four straight Seasons you wonder what the ceiling looks like if he can get to seven or eight touchdowns with Daniels then he can be a wide receiver too but that's not what you want to see uh the usage just a couple catches but you know he was he was still out there playing a lot but yikes the number two probably is like s or Eckler but gam script depended for Eckler it's probably Brian Robinson he CAU some passes too he looked good in the offense Z is only going to be able to do so much at this point of his career but as long as he stays healthy you know he's going to play ahead of of Senate and again he's just a rookie so have to be patient with Senate but um maybe we'll dive into mff we'll dive maybe into mcaffry catch BRS moving forward if and er are at like two and a half again we you could consider because they'll be playing from behind quite a bit um moving forward the Rams a lot of people are gonna go after Tyler Johnson uh and maybe Jordan Winnington who had a great preseason camp be a touchdown taken away from he played two snaps Winnington uh Tyler Johnson played 51 snaps Robinson played 72 of 78 he's the guy like Stafford was really looking at Tyler Johnson he had some nice moments but if you're picking up one ram and puka misses some time if puka misses some time Winnington could fall into a larger role he's kind of like the Cooper cup replacement I feel like kind of reminds me of cup be honest with you um but for Robinson 72 of 78 snaps it's pretty telling and the way that he finished the season last year really strong really strong an end zone Target for Matthew Stafford touchdowns were there into that playoff game he was good uh yesterday right the playing every snap at six uh is very telling and they didn't play him in the preseason either so again very telling how they feel about him puka may miss a little bit of time here Detroit Jameson Williams season team High eight targets to fewer routes run than amra St Brown again a lot of tension on amra but I don't think that's a fluke I think that uh jamos breakout season's here I think Isaiah likely breakout season's here too like those are two guys that just felt like they need to deserve more touches they deserve more touches they're G to get more touches and the coaching job uh coaching staff did a good job of getting them more touches guys that let us down Joe burrow eight points Caleb Williams seven points tough spots for Dax 11 points we had him as a Kirk C had say eight points r moart two points Mir white three points Devonte Williams two points DeAndre Swift Five Points Chase Brown three chba Hubbert one uh chuba don't care about him Swift better days I think uh gavon Williams some reasons to be concerned a slight down tick but an uptick for jul mcglaughlin Chase brown right just team Zach Moss Chase Brown have better days but don't be surprised if that's how the usage looks moving forward rimo have better days too Jags got a good run defense they get a good run defense even a Chan didn't have a great day on the ground he caught a bunch of passes uh and Caleb Williams didn't look good man looked like a rookie quarterback right made some bad throws Keenan Allen dropped the pass in the end zone which would have been better for him but certainly had some some bad throws um again just first game I believe in the Titans I think they have a good secondary it's part of why it was on them to cover azier and Sneed and Ernest Jones the pick that they made they they got some players man on both sides of the football but you we'll love call H's got his hands full he's a great play caller he's done some good things with quarterbacks done some great things with developing quarterbacks he's got his hands full uh here burrow will see better days too I wouldn't Panic on burrow if you have him don't have any shares of burrow is just taking Kyler waiting on Jaden Daniels or like goof or or whatnot Caleb Williams is the guy where I like May swap out for a baker Mayfield you know I I I like Jaden Daniels more than him in redraft always have um like the weapons Caleb has and it don't want to overreact this is one game things will be better but if he misses a Dun if he misses some time and you know Keenan is a lot older now could be tough could be tough uh wide receivers that leted us down Alro two points Marvin Harrison 0.9 points Drake London two points La two DJ Moore seven DK four Michael Pitman five Amari Cooper two Tara McClaren two Deontay Johnson two Christian Kirk four Keenan Allen for uh I asked people on Twitter you can follow me at Cur Mei I asked people uh who they were most concerned about got a lot of um got a lot of Cooper and McClaren didn't get enough Deonte for my liking I I most concerned Deontay Johnson second most concerned mclen just the way that kingsberry is running that offense right now Marvin Harrison I'm not super concerned with I put Drake London at number three given Kirk Cousins like here we go again we may see Michael penx Jr if you're in a deep superflex League I'm gonna go pick him up because I don't think Kirk Cousins is healthy I don't think that the coaching staff's gonna bench Kirk Cousins but he may suffer another injury or he may just be absolutely atrocious where they have to make a switch that's not what you want to hear if you're a drake London owner or a Falcons fan so I would be at three I'm not concerned with DJ Moore after just talking about Caleb Williams not uh Crystal L I'm not concerned I don't think that game is like the Saints are going to blow a lot of teams out the touchdown Equity is not super high you certainly see Rashad rashed Shahed and Joan Johnson having more touchdowns than Crystal lby this season but not overly concerned there Marvin Harrison again just a rookie not concerned with alond raw like check in people overreact all the time if you can buy almond raw like buy almond raw my goodness like if you can swap Xavier worthy and someone else or even J and someone else to get Al ra you go and do that uh Keenan Allen not overly concerned Kirk kind of because I think the guy that has the highest singling in that offense is Brian Thomas Jr Brian Thomas Jr led the nation in touchdowns last year was 17 I like Brian Thomas Jr so I Kirk is like I just view him as a wide receiver three like some ceiling weeks some dud weeks Evan Ingram's usage was down in that game Gabe played every snap well not every snap majority of them because of his run blocking ability I'm definitely team bran Thomas ahead of Christian Kirk rest of the season I I honestly it's I'm taking the ceiling and the guy that's gonna score the touchdowns but it may be an opportunity to to buy low on Kirk but I wouldn't give up a whole lot I would uh give it another game or two and see what happens there but certainly concerned about Amari Cooper as well because DeShaun Watson looks so bad like he's just he's lost it guys people just think like even watching the broadcast like it's talking about like can he get back to his form like no that was like four years ago guys things changed he's not the same quarterback he looks lost he's played 13 games now with Cleveland the most guaranteed money ever and he is just not good they were better with Flo so L and joke who Judy scored a touchdown Elijah played over Judy Cooper's on the field he's great he just missed him on a deep threat it'll be better for Amari Cooper but DeShaun Watson is just not the same guy at all and uh the brownings should have kept breaker Mayfield this as simple as that um yeah so I have rookies down here which I already talked about the injuries Jordan love H can AA T Higgins Jordan Addison looks like he survived a significant injury Jake Ferguson David en joku Kenneth Walker uh okay let's get to the wide receivers uh Watson's broken Tiger Wood syndrome J rest of the season rank him and I had him at like wide receiver 40 with Thomas and lad and uh I don't know if I'm going too much higher than that those three guys I was really bullish on and I liked more slightly more and I you know the this the price T was super expensive for Jameson Williams for lad it was easy to take him in the seventh and the eighth round Rog receiv were 40 I reached on Brian Thomason or Yahoo gave me a brutal grade for reaching on Brian Thomason I thought I I didn't think I reached that much I think it was like an eighth or ninth round pick or something um J and both of these guys I think are wide receiver all three of them are wide receiver 3es so like off the top of my head like all three of them over Deontay right is over Hopkins maybe over Terry I think definitely Brian Thomas over Terry lot over Terry so um I can give you an actual number maybe on Friday it's not too early to do rest of the season rankings but I'm ranking them pretty high D J Mo I'm ranking him pretty high and there will be Boomer Bus games there will be for Brian Thomas too lad's not gonna score a touchdown every week but man that offense 14 games inside a dome deep threat I believe in the talent there's a reason why he was taking first man I want the Eagles I wanted the Eagles go after him heavy in that draft did okay with Deontay and then and AJ but I I wanted him um I'm strongly considering him over Terry next week and you should can't do London yet but it's close um yeah that's what Tampa I would go as Terry's got the giant so yeah maybe you you hang on one more week as Terry in your in your spot because it's the Giants right you're like ah man it's the Giants uh so if we can't get it done in the Giants they don't switch up their offense and still short ADOT stuff then yikes on Terry London will see slay in Philly that game against Detroit will be uh Detroit and Tampa will be higher scoring game yeah it depends you got some options there it's nice to have J on your squad man I'm I'm I'm a big believer all right so wide receiver rankings the way out man this is a long show but see some people hang out having some fun talking football with you guys so brenon Cooks is up at the top here because Ferguson's going to miss some time and uh you see a little bit of Tolbert I still think it's gonna be pass happy offense I don't care what McCarthy tells me you're gonna stick to the run I don't I don't I don't buy it um Brandon Cooks had some nice moments it took a little bit of time I think like from the second half on he was good first half he was awful second half he was good had a touchdown there nice play uh Blitz nice Audible for Dak and he hit him um on the blitz there in the corner of the end zone uh he I think he should be rostered because like the second option right on on a what will be a good offense play the Saints this week uh unlikely to see Ferguson maybe he misses a little bit of time so I do have Brenan Cooks up there rasid Shahed is gonna be Boomer bust but you know uh was the first read for car on third Downs according to ftn and also uh the Deep threat guy inside the offense so he's interesting to me uh Greg dorch so we'll see like about puka if puka was out three to four weeks I'd probably put Demarcus Robinson up at the top of this list because is going to Chuck the football more than anybody or arguably like he's going to be right there among the leaders loves to throw the football pass attempts are going to be through the roof uh for him and it can't just be all Cooper Cup right so Demarcus Robinson would be a top this list should we hear awful news about puka if it was like a one to two week type thing i' probably keep him here maybe put him ahead of dorch dorch like Kyler looks his way man looked his way third down stuff didn't really look at McBride uh is going to spread the ball around I think there's going to be better days for Marvin Harrison Jr if dorch continues to get eight targets a game uh Marv is going to be a bust it's that simple Marv or McBride one of those guys are gonna be a bust uh I got dorch on this list I think he's intriguing if you're hurting at the wide receiver position Jerry Judy on this list not super excited but not really super excited about any of these guys I think if you're looking for a stash you know McMillan we would need to move up right we'd put him ahead of Judy we put him ahead of Robinson we put him ahead of Davis we'd move him up the list as like a stash heck we probably put him at one like if Cooks is not somebody you think you start you're loaded up wide receiver I would like Shahed and then I'd probably go to um McMillan right just just like a wide receiver stash like let's stash this guy like just like brillan Allen Jaylen Wright Ray Davis Bucky Irving maybe we'll find we can play him as a flex we're stashing jayen McMillan I put the Denver guys there because volume is opportunities King OPP unities I just wanted to make a point that I have those guys ahead of Alec Pierce that I think that Alec Pierce is trap I think that Josh DS will come back and then you know Pierce will will take a back seat the upside is completely limited with Josh Reynolds and valet here but targets are something to monitor volume something to Monitor 40 plus attempts for bon knck in his first game something to monitor certainly look like a rookie as well but McMillan probably one of the most intriguing names on this list is the stash Gabe Davis playing all the time uh may fall into some touchdowns if you need some help there wall Robinson PPR boost ceiling limited Jerry Judy hey maybe joku misses a little bit of time maybe Judy come becomes something with Watson uh Demarcus Robinson all depends on puka AA but I think puka is gonna miss a little bit of time uh and then that's it there uh for the wide receivers so I think we did it uh I think we went through everything uh oh yeah tight ends so I like likeley I like him quite a bit um talked a lot about him in the off seon if you read the predictions article we gave some sleepers he was my guy I think this is a mismatch we saw at the end of the season but now that you know if you draft him great you just plug him in awesome I got him in JC Le's Flex league and I also have Kyle Pitts I'm gonna play likely over Pitts I'll make both of these guys available I think if you're a likely owner you make them available like just do it like make them available and see what you can get um but I wouldn't be spending like 45% Fab on him I would try to get him but I would keep it like if I was hurting at tight end if I owned King if I owned KT if I owned Schultz if I owned tesm Hill if I owned I may keep Godard there I maybe just roll with godart but if I owned Kat and Schultz and you know and joku or Ferguson Ferguson I probably wouldn't be super aggressive we'll see what the the injury is we should hear a little bit more today or tomorrow uh but the bottom line is as much as I like likely I'm not spending half of my fab on a tight end when Mark Andrews is still going to be uh you know relevant he he really is and we haven't seen two tight ends be relevant been on the same team since grank and Hernandez and and maybe it won't happen this year but the Titan position is brutal to begin with and likely is a weapon they ran a lot of 12 he played just as much as Andrews uh Lamar looked his way so I think both of these guys are going to be startable I wouldn't make Kelsey available I wouldn't drop Kelsey I wouldn't drop Andrews I wouldn't drop concade I wouldn't make those guys available to uh to sell I I view them as byow candidates and you draft them that early what are you doing you're not dropping them if you don't want to spend all that Fab on likely you want to save some of your Fab and I understand like the next up guys would be like Jawan Johnson Jawan Johnson for the Saints uh Colby Parkinson for the Rams right that's a guy that's gonna get some work here especially with puka out so you can have smaller bids on on those guys and maybe you just can't get likely unfortunately for you uh but likely Monroe or moroe pittz Johnson bow that's got Bowers a great first game a lot of usage a lot of run like seeing the usage from Bowers aono Parkinson leaport en joku McBride Noah gray those are your top tight ends like come on like it's not Noah gray you're not buying McBride he gonna be fine and joku is gonna miss some time so you're gonna need a replacement there um leaport is fine Parkinson's that guy right four Target five targets four grabs 47 yards a conu just had a touchdown wouldn't be buying him uh Bowers you're keeping him you like the the usage Jan Johnson only had two Targets but but he did catch a touchdown right um I would I would rank him likely Parkinson and then Joan uh Pitts uh Maro suffered the injury there hit four targets relationship with car back to the Raiders uh and then likely it's just a baller I thought a good first game for fouth like not fantastic right floor's not super high uh or ceiling is not super high four targets Hayden Hurst three targets two catches so uh try to get try to get Parkinson if you can or a little bit unlikely but no Andrews um would be a Buy Low candidate I wouldn't move him no I wouldn't Buy on Terry D got you but I wouldn't Buy Low on Terry uh these wide receivers that I talked about um om by low yes Marvin Harrison yes wouldn't bu low on London but also not making available let's wait and see this thing play out a la I would I'd call I view him as a wide receiver to I don't think he's a highend to he's like a middle of the pack uh but I would make a call why not see if you can get him Pitman I just don't think is suited for Richardson's game so I wouldn't really be buying L there Cooper no Lauren no Deontay no uh I would try to move I know it's a bad time to move Deontay maybe you can wait a game or two and maybe this thing gets better for him and then you can flip him but I'm not super excited about the outlook for Deontay Johnson Taran McClaren uh and right now I have some questions about Drake London so that's it I do have a little bit of Terry I got some Terry myself I'm not gonna buy low and get more Terry and I'm not it's not the the right time uh to flip him not the right time all right guys any other questions hit me up uh we went pretty long here uh normally won't go as long it's the first week a lot to unpack uh gonna strive for Monday mornings as well to kind of recap do the same thing recap talk about the top performers talk about some snap counts uh some wide receiver rooms give some picks on the Monday Night Football game and also hit the waiver wire running back and wide receiver there's not a lot of quarterbacks to stream uh Baker would be at the top of my list there's some quarterbacks in some tough spots like I wasn't kidding when I said Baker over Caleb Williams rest of the season but I'm looking at quarterbacks uh in terms of ownership Herbert at 66% at rather Baker rest of the season at rather Baker as well Matthew Stafford against Arizona even with no uh puka I still like him over Herbert um Caleb is gonna get dropped in a bunch I would I would make the move for Baker over him Gino against New England not super excited about him I don't care about Watson Daniel Jones against Washington like superflex only desperation of course Fields is on that list but I would roll with Fields again knowing that Pittsburgh won I would still roll with Fields cely thinks that Tomlin will roll with Russell even though he thinks they should roll with Fields as well but Fields is risky a risky pickup because like one loss a loss in Denver or they may just decide to go to Russ so he's a risky pickup so I'd just be cautious with the Fab I'd go to Baker uh before will Levis against the Jets no chance um not feeling too good about all my will l sh shares in best ball I'll tell you that uh defensive standpoint from a stream Seattle against New England right um you know you can Seattle against Denver week one they had the nine points to get New England week two which is great um the Chargers are going to be the hot pickup against Carolina uh they had 13 points against the Raiders uh and then they get the Panthers and Bryce young this week um Denver okay against Pittsburgh just okay um Houston against Chicago I'd rather Houston against Chicago just given how Caleb Williams looked uh Jacksonville against Cleveland that'd be uh they'd be on my radar as well uh for a streaming option and that's kind of where I draw the line you trait's pretty low but the defense is just okay like can get after the quarterback they give up some big plays they have Tampa so it wouldn't go that way eagles only 62% I try to get them against uh Atlanta it wasn't a great first game but I tried against the I tried against Atlanta that's the way uh that I would uh go okay guys uh we are going to get out of here appreciate you guys taking the time to hang out any questions Chris Mei hitme up on the Twitter machine DMS are open Mean Streets FN gmail.com talk to you guys later have a good one enjoy the game cheers [Music] oh [Music]
