Fantasy Football Week 1 Lineup Advice | NFL Inactives, Injuries & Start/Sit Decisions (2024)

I [Music] [Music] n [Music] oh oh [Music] no [Music] welcome in everybody to fantasy pros this is the week one live stream it is me Joey P Joe P zapia there is Andrew Ericson The Undertaker himself and it's all of you happy week one everybody we're here to answer your questions to get your lineup set and also want to wish uh uh Debro a happy birthday today's Debo's birthday Andrew ericon imagine it's his birthday and he gets football all at the same time seems like a pretty good day how much Beard cream do you think he's getting for his birthday gonna be drowning in the Beard cream so concerned hopefully he has his life jacket he'll be good to go so there you go all right everybody so again if you've got questions we've got answers drop them in the chat here uh and of course we're gonna be here every single Sunday starting 10: a.m. eastern some dayss with some of those other games some weeks with the londons the Germany all those different places we're going to be here at some different times too to make sure you get your lineup set ahead of time so keep an eye on that schedule follow us on social media at fantasy pros and make sure you're able to join us for those too because you don't want to miss out on all the amazingness let's start right with a question here Juan Fernando wants to know about C c MC uh yes CMC right now with the calf and the Achilles which was fun news that we picked up didn't hear about the Achilles until this week so that would have been good information yesterday maybe or a few other days uh before drafting him but let's talk about it uh any concern about Christian mcaffrey I mean he's playing you're starting him there's no question about it but I guess the real question is more like Mason Mason's out there in 60% of League's rostered right now so he's available in 40 I'd be stashing in him now instead of paying Fab for him God forbid anything happens Monday night or just as an insurance policy where are you at with that right now with the chrish mcaffrey San Fran RB situation ericon yeah I think that makes a lot of sense Mason seems like the the guy that you want to handcuff as Chris McCaffrey's direct backup but I will say Joe I know that a lot of us weren't especially at fantasy pros you me Debo I don't think any of us had mcaffrey as our number one running back because we were concerned about the touches coming over from last year 417 Touches at his age look I'm just saying you know who else plays on Monday night Bree Hall it may not be too late to make that trade take mcaffry Trad to get try to get Bree Hall Bree Hall was my RB one you think you think people would still do that they would make I mean people drafted mcaffry number one overall so I don't think it's out of the range that maybe you could pull it off still people are worried again I again mcaffrey he's healthy for week one yeah you're you're starting this guy and he should be productive but spicy right out of the gate I love that about you also speaking of spicy make sure you drop your comments below here and join us because why trophy smack wall smack is going out there look at these These are so cool you get to put these in your woman cave your man cave you can uh put them in your bedroom for all I care wherever you want but these wall smack pieces from trophy smack this wall art here you see the Mahomes one here in the uh graphic very cool to subscribe to fantasy pros YouTube channel ring the bell to L goes Ding and comment below that's it that's all you got to do and somebody is going to be winning that so very exciting times here let's get back to the questions here Austin wants to know PPR Pitts or en joku I know Pitts is not 100% healthy but en joku has to play with deshaan Watson who typically does not recognize that uh David joku actually exists so where you going I'm playing Kyle Pitts in the arur if there's ever a week where Kyle Pitts we to bet the anytime touchdown Kyle Pitts is against Arthur Smith bro I I this is the uh this is the Falcons Revenge game not the Arthur Smith Revenge game this is this is London it's a lot of Revenge by the way speaking of uh you know that game Justin Fields is GNA be playing today which I know you had to be laughing this morning right seeing that news after all the stuff going on here and all the conversation you and I had in our Flex League together and how early I took Justin fields and you know made everybody work it's week one I'm starting Justin fields and I'm pretty happy about it like I don't care what the circumstances are what does that do though to the offense in your opinion uh let's not forget Cole K was a tight end one last year with Justin Fields uh also Justin Fields had made DJ Moore a 1300 yard wide receiver so it's not like Justin Fields is bereft of talent if anything from a fantasy perspective I'm actually kind of excited about him playing in this game in the dome if you're in a superflex would you be starting Justin Fields today because I am I am as a top 20 quarterback yeah I think that you would be playing him because he has the rushing right he's going to there's going to be a couple drives in this game where it's ugly he's going to take some sacks because that's what Justin Fields does but he's going to make plays with his legs he's going to Rocket the ball downfield to George Pickins like you said you're hoping that we get 2023 is version of the Bears with Co KT and DJ Moore in this Steelers offense between George Pickins and Pat FR there's no other pass catcher you're going to see the ball go to maybe including the running backs so I think that it's May a downgrade potentially for waren and nji catching passes out of the back field because he's just going to run so I would keep that in mind maybe downgrade the running a little bit especially Jaylen Warren who kind of lukewarm on anyway this week given that he's coming off a hamstring but now you're factoring that Russ isn't going to play probably that makes Jaylen Warren probably someone almost is trying to shy away from again I think it's Boomer bus with these receivers with George Pickins in particular but if you want upside in your Flex I think pickings fits Ferguson or Hill that's from Frederick cash so who do you want to play a tight end this week I'm gonna play Jake Ferguson Ferguson it is there we go let's go to average sigs uh full PPR Flex one Zach Moss Brian Thomas Gabe Davis now look with everything that's going on in Cincinnati I imagine the running backs get elevated a little bit in ranks today by a lot of people but uh I know Brian Thomas is a guy that you're in on and you did wear a Gabe Davis Jersey on the BP show the other day so I don't want to speak for you but who are you playing Brian Thomas Gabe Davis or Zach Moss gonna play Zach Moss just play the the game total they're at home he's got a lot of Red Zone Equity so it's so great to see all of you in the chat by the way excited for week one I want everybody out there in your comments today what game are you most excited to see today everybody's got their own team f yeah whatever I want to know what game that's not your team that you want to see today I'm excited about listening to Tom Brady call football game today I'm excited about the Atlanta game today with Pittsburgh I want to watch that one especially now the fields is playing a lot of fun games here I want to see who the Seahawks uh might be uh offensively now that's going to be a lot of games again drop your comments below tell me what game do you want to watch the most maybe you have the most fantasy shares in yeah Eric go ahead which game is Brady calling on Fox Brady is calling the Cowboys uh game actually today Cowboys so you have watch Watson you imagine can you imagine Tom Brady breaking down Deshawn Watson's quarterback play oh yeah give me a we get we're gonna get that game is gonna be ugly Tom br's like how am I not still playing in the NFL like better than both these quarterbacks all right Ronnie's got a question and it might get bro Ronnie farfaglia Brian Thomas or Debo bro oh you gotta play Debo I love Brian Thomas but no not over Debo especially with auk on a snap count yeah bro when did you take Debo Samuel what your second third pick what are we doing here ADP still matters right now unless Debo is hurt and he's not and plus the Jets play a lot of two high which means it's going to be a lot more Debo Samuel in this game than iuk anyway theoretically even if everything was fine with auk and it was like a normal offseason come on people there's a reason why you know you drafted Debo Samuel as your you know third player and it's not to like look at Brian Thomas now in week one and make that kind of stupid decision even if Brian Thomas outscores him is bad fantasy don't you do it Ronnie bro I can't believe it we we didn't even get Fu how many minutes 10 minutes into the show we got the first bro of the Sunday maybe he meant to type in auk instead of Debo see that that's one I I could I could get around you I'm still playing auk too it's still the 49ers I'm still playing auk too dude you're you know someone that is fading the 49ers you seem to like them a lot I'm fading the 49ers in week two on there this Jets one please forget it bro all there my I told you my Survivor pool of the week I'm picking I told you and Eric and I have a side bet so watch betting Pros turn the week because we're not gonna get an answer to it on the Monday show so we're gonna have to wait till you me and Terell are back on Thursday which is perfect like that that's the that's the chef's kiss of that moment is that we have to wait all the way to Thursday to get the payoff for that literally I want the payoff to happen during that show too whoever wins all right Trevor uh Soldier wants to know dton Schultz or Pat Fri Mo at a fullo PPR now look Schultz is playing in the higher total game that's a good case but uh Fri MTH again with Fields I feel pretty good about that one I feel good about either of these guys I don't think there wrong answer here but Erikson who would you prefer to play I'm going with Pat fouth because I am I'm chasing the the training camp Buzz with f because we've seen two games play already this year right who are the tight ends that had kind of standout performances whether it become of usage likely got a lot of bump during training camp and then Tucker craft I I was beating the drum for Tucker craft he's tight end one he's tight end one and what do you know he played almost all throw that drum in the ocean now that Malik Willis is gonna be playing for the next six weeks again what it doesn't matter but think that it's important that we're seeing these training camp reports specifically at tight end carry over into week one and so Fri mouth just signed the extension they're really excite they're excited about him and like you said like Fields is more likely to pass the ball over the middle of the field than Russell Wilson is so I like Firth Eric hell wants to know standard League start Ferguson or fire moou this week so another group of tight ends a lot of tight end questions today fire agreed okay Mark Peltier neighbors or zamir white at the flex Neighbors I think zamir White's the safer points Mark so if you're already like up on your opponent I would just take zamir white put him in your lineup and set it forget it but neighbors as more of the upside in the PPR Christopher pirano Joe P looking so handsome with that's right because I'm coming straight over from uh FST the TV show there it is which reminds me I gotta go and change the screen I just realize that my screen's not even right that's what's happening here let's go to yousef's question uh since defense or the Tampa defense answer that uh be loquacious as I change my screen I think for me I'm just going to take the Bengals defense I think that's the safe play they're playing the Patriots not afraid of their offense I think that you have a pretty safe you have pretty safe floor with them whereas Jaden Daniels can do a little bit more with his running ability so huzzah see week one still working out the Kings I got to go from one show to another look at that doesn't that look that looks much better look at that f Pros football podcast that's what we're doing here today see you think the offenses are going to be shaky look at us out of the gate too you know wrong graphic up there you know but I am at least dressed to impressed every Sunday morning I'm ready here for this all right let's go to Javier's question here drop Shahed or Saints uh for the Jets defense and Fant or Kate auton yeah uh so Shahed um or Saints for the Jets defense so I would drop the Saints defense for the Jets defense and just take my lumps in week one and just play the rest of the year I would just play the Saints defense they're playing they're playing the Panthers I understand with the Jets defense rest of the year you don't want that defense like in fantasy I don't I don't lock him I play I would you drop Shahed for the Jets defense and then turn around next week and just churn and burn the Saints for somebody else in the wire no I don't want to have two defenses I don't want to roster two defenses I just take one and and move on it's defense right I don't think it makes Kate Aon that's the next I will play uh Kate auton okay sha Donahue is chasing out uh Flex one full PPR Pickins Warren Chase Brown uh right now uh we're still waiting on news I believe since we' started I haven't seen anything with Chase have you seen any updates no the only the biggest update the latest update we had was yesterday when so he's basically questionable because of rest which means he's like Restless of not getting a new contract and then he got put on because he's ill sick of not being paid so I'm I'm I'm sick I'm sick to death and not seeing enough zeros in this contract that's what I'm came down with a classic case of uh I need a new contract itis yeah oh my hand my hand's cramping I can't sign I can't oh oh oh it hurts oh I gotta drop the pen that's too much I don't know why he talks like that but but of those three players Chase Brown Pickins and Warren again I talked about Warren maybe it's his his match up I don't love as much with Fields so I think I just roll with Pickins and take theide Pickin baby let's go I you know it's in the range of outcomes shout out to Derrick Brown for the range of outcomes happy birthday happy birthday Debo uh then he's still with us don't worry why I did that uh with uh but he's not with us here today on this stream so he's in the chat I think he should be he should be in the chat he should be doing something that's his responsibility even on his birthday but imagine a world where Steelers win Fields plays crate what's that conversation next week like you're not going to play Fields you're going to go back to Russell Wilson Russell Wilson is going to be put on injured reserve or he's going to get cut or traded because he's not going to want to be the backup so he probably be he probably you know who could use a quarterback the Green Bay Packers could use a quarterback right about now B the Green Bay Packers hello hello they are in trouble yeah and it's not like is not Inc conference problem to make that trade I'm Russell Wilson I'm like hey send me to Green Bay let me go do something there behind Jordan love for a couple weeks and kind of reestablish my value I'm just saying keep an eye out that could be fun man it's a wild west and it's only week one by the way what do you do here with that Jordan love injury it's gonna Crush all my Deshawn wat my Des all my Christian Watson shares is gonna Crush uh probably some of my Jaden Reed um I imagine a little bit more volume for Jacobs but Marshon L is only rostered in 60% of leagues I saw that this morning I know he already played this past week but he's not gonna have any stats he didn't play but the game already played so you can't pick him up now but I'd be stashing him because you're going to have to rely heavily on that run game would you be stashing him this coming week in way versus 2 no no I would what I look I'm not as big as on Marsh and lyd as everybody else I I I just I don't he's buried on the depth chart like when is he when are you gonna actually figure out a game where he's gonna play without behind Jacobs he's behind Wilson he's been injured train Camp I just I think it's a long long long road for for Martian Lloyd to finally get into the lineup where you feel good about him and why are we excited about playing a Packers running back for the next month they're going to have bad quarterback play I don't well again just stashing for volume and if that volume takes his toll on Josh Jacobs and it's next better stashes right now that can help your team like what like Jordan Mason or Marshon lyd right it's like jordanon mcord Farm wife weird screen name okay fields or Prescott today not playing back on the this is just again it's as easy as it seems just take Dallas with the points this game is just going to be weird your ranks right now you have elevated Fields above Dak Prescott I haven't done that I don't have the guts to do that one yet when I did my early 2024 rankings before bear before the Bears got rid of fields Justin Fields was I think my quarterback six because when he runs he's he scores fantasy points so I get I get the other things of his passing game are not great but this offense with Arthur Smith was designed for Justin Fields as a Rushing mobile quarterback we've seen Arthur Smith make Marcus Mariota a good fantasy quarterback at times to score fantasy points so I think Fields is going to be set up really well by the way on DraftKings right now you're getting him at 5,000 Justin Fields today so needless to say I've got some Shariff of Justin Fields going on all right let's get to another question here let's go to Ryan Moore's question Daniels or burrow now in the situation here where we're expecting Chase to play I would still go with Joe burrow but I I understand this question like this is not a bad question at all would you pivot to Daniels in the circumstance of where we're at here with the Cincinnati Bengals offensive weapons remaining um I think I would I think I like the floor of Daniels a little bit more so because you got the rushing he's gonna Rush he is gonna Rush you're I'm a mobile quarterback too I would say maybe not out there in space but I move well in the pocket that's good still move well in the pocket by the way my Eagles got their first w first game yesterday shout out to my Eagles my flag football team good job kids 12 you Eagles Fly Eagles Fly it's good showing 23 nothing at the half there we uh we put up a hurting all right let's get to the next question here uh on the stream again if you've got questions we've got answers drop them below make sure you

uh PPR Dobbins or shanet as the second Flex spot oh in a tough spot with Higgins out you ain't Whistling Dixie grw you got you gotta play Dobbins I don't know what Char's role is going to be Dobbins these weeks with a healthy Dobbins are precious let's take advantage I love a good healthy Dobbins that's that's you gotta love a good healthy do by the way I think guu is in the running for who I should be for Halloween this year have a very Gru face just generally speaking I'd have to shave that day but all I need is the scarf pretty much I've already got got the nose for it already I feel like maybe de from Despicable Me group yes from the Despicable Me series I think you have your daughters dress up as the other daughters well I was that would be funny but then also maybe get Debo to be a minion I think think he has a minion quality about him don't you think you put some goggles on him paint his head yellow when he does the like the market voice it does sound like the minions when he's like when he's when he's voicing the public perspective on a certain player that's the minions that's the minion voice on his birthday oh I miss you de bro love you all right Timothy Clark concade or Hill concade I got bro come on it's week one don't do this to me Timothy spicy I get that but King K you draft to be tight end I know everyone's afraid of starting good tight ends now because of Andrews and Kelsey so like but come on we're okay how about start young good tight ends how about that dude Andrews is not that old he's 29 that's old in the NFL Chelsea's 35 yeah that's old that's old in the NFL it's old ke the Andrew situation he hadn't practiced in weeks like what did you expect look likely's gonna be part of that offense but I don't think Andrew is gonna disappear I'd be buying him everywhere and I don't I was somebody fading Andrew's anyway not like Andrew Ericson Who Loved Andrews based on name brand recognition obviously Dan F na vers Palmer versus Yoshi Vos in the PPR Flex uh PPR I'm looking at Palmer today I gotta tell you I like this match up for Palmer I think they're gonna be behind uh CH went on the pup list so it's lad makoni and it's Palmer and that's it yeah I'm going Palmer I also need to find these uh these Quinton Johnson under props somewhere they I'm waiting I know the books are afraid because they're like oh no we can't release these but they have to CU Char is out so I haven't seen him yet but I'm taking the under no matter what uh Mr raw dog uh full PPR dowo or mlin yeah this is like a total upside versus floor play uh if I just want B some points it be M goofin but if I really want to shoot for the Moon it would be dle so what would you set that charger Quinton Johnson number at just what I set it at I would at 18 and a half yards 18 and a half yards all right it's not on here right now see the books are afraid I would also be afraid to those lines I'm terrified but it's not here right now they've taken down everything for this oh no I'm sorry wait no wait wait wait wait wait I'm in week two that's my problem here I'm so excited already I'm already into week two um so what what did you said it that 18 and a half would be my 18 and a half all right why can't I find this Raiders one here all right let's go to another question here and I'll find it and I want to see what it is uh Super Trooper full PPR zamir white or niji Harris interesting I would play niji okay why why niji there and not over Palmer I thought you said it was over um no I know but Palmer was over Naji before in that last question so trying to understand the hierarchy of Palmer Naji zamir white because that's basically the grouping you're giving people oh so Palmer I think can be the number one receiver this week with Justin Herbert he's faced this Raiders defense twice last year both games he went over 77 receiving yards so I know we like lad makoni a lot but I think in week one Justin Herbert's missed a lot of training camp I think he's going to lean on his guy Josh Palmer okay so the QJ number was 18 and a half you said that's what I guess yeah 23 and a half right now let's go under baby under smash the under the Undertaker strikes again folks all right let's go to MC jaker good morning half PPR Flex spot DJ Moore Ridley Sutton makon pick one this is not hard it's DJ Moore and it's not even look it's it's early it's it's week one and I know you're like you're excited about fantasy football I'm excited we're all excited about fantasy football we love it I understand DJ Moore had 1300 yards and eight touchdowns last year Caleb Williams is a capable Young quarterback what did Calvin Ridley courland Sutton or lad makoni who's a rookie do anything remotely close to a DJ Mo did last year and I know if Field's a different quarterback I get it it's still DJ Moore DJ Moore has multiple fantasy Seasons that have been really good Calvin Ridley hasn't been good in years years plural with an S Andrew I what are we doing here folks what are we doing DJ Mo Marcus wodnik neighbors Godwin Pitman choose two now this is a good question neighbors Godwin Pitman choose two h I think I'll go with neighbors and Pitman I need a sedative this is the I mean week one week one we're doing this s bakery Kiren Williams needs to be discussed ASAP okay Ericson discuss right it's week one now we're gonna talk about kir now we're gonna Panic well drafted him look I mean yeah if you drafted him I mean he's set up good this week we don't know what the splits going to be like with Blake corm I know that the lions are going to be without DJ reader in the interior so if the Rams I think the Rams are gonna be able to run the football effectively so that means K's in your lineup and if he has a good game I would immediately put him on the trade block and try to sell high so that's that's what I would do I just don't like the long term with KY but week one he should be good he should be a top 10 running back for some of you they're trying to start lad makoni over DJ Moore might I suggest autopilot take the start sits out of your hands let us do it for you for the love of God please download my playbook sync your leagues for free again it's free you can set all your lineups you have a lineup on ESPN you got one on CBS you got one on Yahoo guess what you can set them all in one spot with my

environment is gonna be fun that's that's another one like glue me to the television today I want to see that one CSP Swift or zamir white in the fullo PPR Swift Henry jagas uh hubard or Pard rb2 full PPR hubard for me I don't like the uh I don't really like the titans this week like under in that game Titans are gonna cover that four and a half I'm telling you right now do you think they're gonna do it because they're gonna run the football I don't know no but I think Tony power's gonna catch the football and I think I do like his yeah I like his in a full PPR I'm taking po to Henry that's what I'm doing I understand the hubard I get it but I think catch passes too that's the only thing he could but look you paid Tony Bard you gotta get Tony power the football Sean Perry burrow or Daniels we did this one didn't we Daniels for you yes yes Daniels for me I like Lee Brian Thomas or tank Dell in the Half Point PPR tank Dell tank tank like let the Jaden Reed explosion game be a reminder that just because he only playing two in three receiver sets if you're nasty and you're good you're going to score points so T nasty boy he nasty Kyle Miller Half Point PPR Javon Williams or chase Brown Javonte Ricky Ricky Ricky Ricky lure PPR full sary Moss or Gus boss I'm gonna go Zach Moss o I did not expect that I like Zack Moss is my classic uh week one uh week one that's gonna make me feel dumb after fading them in season long week one is going to be Zach Moss Cooper cup all these guys that are healthy and good to guard going to smash uh Nico Collins again another season long F it's probably going to explode this week so well niiko Collins you're wrong about the other two I think you're right I'm going to be wrong probably after week one I can at least admit that Brian dianis uh Deontay Johnson are malink neighbors and don't bro me man all right Brian I won't bro you because I understand this question you've got a safety net of Deontay Johnson and The Unknown of Malik neighbors I get it this is not that crazy lad Boni or DJ Moore is crazy that's crazy town don't bring that stuff here I'm gonna Matumbo that stuff so neighbors for me neighbors for you all right Darius Richards Bowers or conin I will just I'll roll with Bowers I'm worried about the foot issue but I'm still gonna play Bowers there still gon I I am worried about the foot issues are a real thing Aiden Gavin I my dad always said never trust a guy with two first names Aiden Gavin drop shonet for Goff love was my quarterback yes do that right now 100% right now do it don't wait be frank you like a good hot dog you hot dog guy ericsen summertime I was thinking about hot dogs the other day I don't know haven't had a good one in a while I just think that's funny you brought it up on the grill I like a good hot dog on the grill all summer long we do the hot dogs there but are you a hot dog guy like if it's on the grill you got Burgers you got hot dogs are you both or one or the other um I like both I do like in the grill I remember when I was really young my parents used to make boiled hot dogs which that just it I don't know why they would feed me that it's not good it was it was common in the 90s boil I guess because I'm like why would I ever boil meat unless I'm making a soup or something there you go uh B Frank wants to know again Jaden Daniels or Joe burrow same thing um we're we're you're you want Jan Daniels you want the rushing Equity here yeah look Joe burrow he needs he needs a a another team that's going to put up points on the board he needs to have all of his weapons he doesn't run so the Bengals aren't going into this matchup thinking oh we need to score 30 points to be the Patriots they need to score 17 probably to beat the Patriots so I think it's would you Joe the Chiefs would you play Joe burrow over twoa today I would not I would play would you play Lawrence today I would play Lawrence okay yeah I just Williams or Joe burrow I think in that case I'd still play burrow his first start you know it is but he's got you know basically the full complement of weapons here so just just interesting I just want to I want to take your temperature that's all I wanted to see where you're at I'm good look how steady Trevor Richard uh neighbors or mclen also a good one here uh neighbors I thought you didn't trust guys with two with two first names I don't but Rich Richert it's actually richer not rich art it's or maybe it's R perhaps it's the French pronunciation it's trevo ret I apologize R I don't know 1993 uh wants to know start or bench for the flex zamir white Aaron Jones K Shakir you get two out of these grouping two zamir White Jones Shakir I'm taking the RBS here I agree I'm taking the RBS as well uh C Gallow 92 burrower Fields I think we just answered that it's fields and Fields is playing folks news flash Fields is playing today Russell will here's the most interesting part about this Russell Wilson's like I can play and the doctor's like no no no you sit kind of interesting mik Thomas has to Mike tomman can't blow his record as an underdog against the spread he needs fields in the game Omar AMG QB slot Caleb Williams or Gino Smith uh Caleb agreed sha Donahue uh we already got to Shan let's go to uh Jose hialgo Hey Joe um from Bound Brook look at this look guy not too far from me right by TD Bank Park I live about 15 minutes from there what's up Jose uh let's go to start B uh yosias or Coleman who do you want to start I'm starting BR Rob yes half PPR especially half Dean yabs Flex PBR javante or Pitman it's Pitman Pitman Pitman Don't Look Back Dalton hard hard Edge hard Edge I'm a hard Edge pickings or Aaron Jones in the full PPR Jones okay uh next one here Brent Mason PPR auk or James cook cook yes that's the right answer for a thousand christien Chavez I think it's sad or bad but here we go chase Cup London pick two now this is a scenario where if you don't want to play like you're in one of these weird leagues where it's like St two wide receivers there's no flex or something like that and you can have cup in London and not play chase today this is like the only scenario where I can understand this you've got two Elite guys there in Chase I'm cool with this yeah I think that yeah I think that's the perfect way to outline it cuz it's not as simple as oh you just start Chase automatically because if let's say you drafted Chase and then you drafted three more wide receivers then you have the luxury of no I have another third my third receiver is really good and it's a good matchup so I can start him over Chase so yeah in most cases you're going to start Chase but in this particular one yeah London and cup are definitely great Alternatives in week one to chase again if you're just joining us here for the stream we want to know what game has your focus today forget your fandom I want to talk from a fantasy perspective what game do you want to watch the most maybe you got a lot of players in it maybe you just want to see what happens with one of these new quarterbacks in new places is it one of the rookies you want to see whatever it is tell us what you want what you're looking for the most in week one what game has your attention I want to know about it let's get to the next question here which is Edward's question uh drop dowle or mlin for Mason uh I would not drop dowle I think that's a bad idea but if you have CMC uh which he does not uh but he's not strong at running back would you drop mlin for Mason that's an interesting one so the thing with mlin is and I made this point because he's come up I know a lot of people have drafted him obviously because we like him a lot but I do think that I don't who this wi as you speak of but continue I mean I liked him Debro likes him regardless yeah you guys also like pits last year that they work out very well what do you have against mofin the Denver Broncos offense is boring to me I mean if he's going to get 10 targets a game how often are you gonna start m j here's a question how often this year are you gonna start M jul mofin that's that's what I was getting to so I think if he's a bench stat if you're just looking for a stash on your bench I think Mason is better because mlin is break break glass I need someone to play in my PPR league as a flex play or my running back got hurt because I think even if gavonte were to suffer an injury I think you'd see ese take a bit larger role on early downs and mcin would kind of his role would stay the same third Downs catching passes out of the back field so I think he has a floor every single week he's going to give you points but I think the ceiling is more with a guy like Mason where obviously mcaffry misses time Mason would be a top 24 running back every single week so I would draw McGloin to pick up Mason in this case and I also want to make a we got a report from Ian raport just recently that Zeke and Rico D are expected to split carries today dvin cook is not expected to play so duh like this the the dvin cook thing drove me nuts man people rushing around picking up dvin cook what are he doing was he not done in dusted last was not one of those people so I feel good about that I was also not one of those people but like if you're one of those people stop stop look I mean come on if he was any good why wouldn't he have been signed by many of the other teams that need running back help already didn't you see him with the medicine ball dude I feel like that's the whenever I see highlight videos of like older running backs that's all they're doing is the medicine ball why is it like the 20s where like using a medicine ball at all well just they're just trying to get that ripped core with the oblique muscle just like yeah CU that do right so they have an oblique poll in the first week right because that never happens either man I can't believe how salty I am and it's only the first week of the season this is going to be a good year folks don't miss this this is gonna be musty television all right uh let's go to Gary Chung Gary from Hong Kong joining us yeah Gary I don't what time is it in Hong Kong I have no idea Google that er uh been a subscriber for three seasons star Cooper Shahed or Demario Douglas I'm starting to Mario Cooper here Gary yes yes just like you know every time whenever we Mari Cooper these are the games when he scores 30 and we don't know why he just does again it's Revenge game against Dallas let's go a Revenge game who who can have revenge for getting paid millions of dollars that's the thing with right revenge is like when somebody really insults you or you know Revenge games are to me the ones where somebody didn't believe in you and and cut you or whatever it was they did trade Amari Cooper for a fifth round pick that's fine uh but that's the where Dallas was at at the time you know just saying all right let's go to another one here uh G whiz 1978 Kyler Murray or Anthony Richardson a full Point again PPR doesn't matter unless a quarterback is throwing it to themselves jeiz man why do you have these two quarterbacks on why do you have these two quarterbacks number one maybe it's a keeper League whatever uh I'm play Richardson okay but yeah I would and then trade one of them like you don't trade trade one of them I mean I guess Richardson I guess like if you're concerned if he gets banged up I mean both guys are not the healthiest so I guess that makes sense long term to have both of them but yeah this week I'm imagining what happened is G whiz got a discount on Richardson at some point and then decided to back it up and maybe went a little early to back it up because they were a little concerned uh and ended up taking Murray and I get it look Richardson had some struggles in the preseason whatever Herby prietto uh Tua or Gino today at QB just Tua just saw Tua walk in he's looking he's looking thick baby he's ready to go he's ready to toss the rock let's go there you go Tony Santos pickings or Neighbors neighbors Harbo 11 burrow or Stafford I think we just did this right yeah I think Stafford is safer folks I'll be honest with you I think Stafford got all his weapons it's a they're playing they're playing at Coors Field man for field of the NFL let's go Cooper van this is the best name of the chat Cooper van huser uh yosias or Shakir I like Yoshi BOS I don't know I I really want to see this bills receiver room play out I don't know I I feel like there's a lot of confidence in Shakir this week do you feel like super confident any of these Bills receivers week one I don't know like I like King Kade but I feel confident of King Kade because I think they the Cardinals will struggle with him yes but I I feel like the bills want to run the football and give the ball to King Kade and then they just have this hodge podge of receivers they're going to try to figure it out I don't know I feel like I want to wait and see with the Bills receivers before I put any my starting lineup and Yoshi Vos look he's gonna start and the Patriots I just think yosias he's been again going back to who's been good in training camp is yosias he was like highlight after highlight because he was there with Joe burrow building that chemistry and he was good at the end of last year so I like Yosh BOS that's like us just building that chemistry every single man building it up make sure you go and subscribe to the betting proos Channel too we got some hot shows there Eric and I broke the wheel with our week one early takes tomorrow we'll be recording our week two uh early line show too with some good early lines man that we were jumping on so join us betting Pros again on the YouTube side let's go to the next one who from uh let's go to stretch pick two Joe Mixon Jonathan Taylor David Montgomery uh this is easy it's Mixon and Taylor yes let's not overthink this Tuan F good morning need one and a half PPR Jameson Williams Jaylen Warren or Jordan Addison he needs one you said one J one ring J let's go J over Jaylen Warren interesting yes I'm I'm ready to your body's ready I'm ready for J to have a look one of these L J actually works here at fantasy pros a lot of people don't know behind the scenes J mo one of the uh the leads here in the development side of things so all those tools you like so much thank J for them but the other J the Lesser J James Williams hopefully will be relevant this year cautiously optimistic um all right now I don't I don't know what's going on here but John just sent me the most interesting uh bit of news that Tyreek Hill has been arrested near the stadium this can't be true please please we need a source for this please uh John I need a source for this somebody somebody get Joey P A source I don't wna torch people's face this has got to be one of those fake accounts right come on John I know it's week one I know you're tired is he just is he trying to troll us I don't know what I don't know I mean I I don't have anything on phone I'm looking right now change a lot of DFS lineups if that's the case uhai uh burrow vers the Patriots or Kyler Murray versus the bills Kyler Murray yes not waiting Anthony Rouch Trevor Lawrence or Jaden Daniels I'm gonna go with Trevor Lawrence all right have you seen anything about this Tyreek Hill stuff no they're on NFL game day morning they're talking about the Dolphins Jaguars seems all hunky dory Smiles uh Steve maruchi was chugging a gallon of milk um the guy that's reporting it is not a uh so far is is not one of my favorite uh sources for information so I'm just saying like let's let's not go crazy I we get I mean when Ina I mean if he's inactive then he's not playing in the game because if he's not at the stadium then he's not gonna play so um yeah it is a it is a major source but not a reliable one is there a reason you're not naming this person yeah there is is and that's why um until it's an Adam schfer or somebody like that reporting this I mean we're goingon to get time it's not like I mean who if Ty kill was out who would you you gonna pick up Robbie chosen no it's just more like like like it's maybe Jonny Smith is an option now but besides that nothing really changes they're gonna run the ball how you feeling about all your Jaylen Waddles shares if this is true that would be probably really I mean I can't say I feel bad about it but but we'll we'll see how this uh this plays out and then some other things saying and Kus Campbell as well so it's a lot to unpack here it's a lot to unpack I see a video again the source is one that's not the the first major source is not a major source that I have had good experiences with let's just put it that way um so well I mean we're gonna find out when the inactives come out in 45 minutes or so and if he's inactive then you can't play him so if that's the case arrested would be inactive correct you he make bail in 45 minutes I don't know I mean Tek Hill is fast Miami is a wild place oh goodness gracious ah let's go to McFly Smith can't make this stuff up man football is a wild game Friday night Brazil with a couple seconds left we lose Jordan love you got guys slipping all over the place Isaiah likely is the greatest football player on the planet and uh uh maybe tyreo got arrested I don't know McFly Smith anyone starting Travis ATN yes everyone who has oh my God he's gonna SM we I love him all right next year uh is uh douge Yun H thoughts on DK meaf uh he's a absolute start for me this week no qualms no concerns I'm fascinated to see what happens here when it comes to um you know when it comes to what the Seattle Hawks offense might look like uh Erikson what are your thoughts here on uh DK this week and maybe rest of season too I don't love him this week in particular I think that he has a I mean look who's the best Denver Broncos player on defense is Patrick ceran like I think this could be a big jsn game that's that's all I'll say so I think mchf could have a down game we've seen him have Down Games before he's a receiver it happens so I'm a little bit lower than ECR in him so yeah I I would not be surprised if jsn out scores him this week so uh um yeah this is uh so is this is this building steam it I I I look this is it's a lot of multitasking for week one here for me I'm gonna I'm gonna do a quick quick search on my end as well but you know and and Russell Wilson is also warming up which I don't know why because we were already told this morning that it was field so I don't know what's going on here this is madness it's week one um but apparently there's no reason of why why uh this necessarily this arrest has happened that we know of uh if it is indeed true again the internet is a wild Place uh it's certainly the video certainly looks like it but uh more to come folks make sure you're staying with us I mean absolutely Bonkers we just SP all this time doing all the analysis for months and months and then oh my God can't make this stuff up folks all right let's go to Ben's question will mcaffrey play yes it looks like he's going to play so yes you're going to play him um but again the calf and the Achilles that's a lot here's one from Michael Dell or McClaren in the flex Dell uh let's go to Connor's question M Connor Pickins or Jamar Chase if you just don't want to deal with the Chase and stuff I would still play Chase but yeah this is kind of the range where I still lean Chase I don't feel like so confident in Pickins that I I I mean Chase obviously has risks too but I think I'd still play Chase all right so Adam shefer does have a status here uh so here we go Fields isn't 100% starting Russell Wilson uh is pushing to play even though it seems like it's gonna be Fields uh the Tyreek Hill stuff uh so Adam shefer Drew Rosen house I just left Tyreek and he is ready to play today that's great he's gonna get arrested after the game he was detained by according to Adam shf this is a minute ago on the Twitter machine Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill was detained by police today entering the stadium for a driving violation per his agent Drew Drew rosenhouse but rosenhouse said Tyreek Hill will play today well that's good because I have a lot of Tyreek Hill lineups so can't catch that cheetah no matter what so he must have been driving like a hundred to get to the stadium or something they pull I mean he is it seems I mean I guess it's not I mean yeah it seems like he is kind of late I don't know I guess if you live like soill bro come on yeah you're right Ty yeah you're right it's this is It's Miami I mean it's not like he plays in Green Bay Wisconsin he's like night life in Green Bay he like he he does the chat Chinko diet where he hats McDonald's before all the games too and he's just like you should have seen the drive-thru line at McDonald's man it was Sunday drivethru line was long had to get my egg McMuffin they stopped serving breakfast at 10:30 Easter I needed to get honestly I'm just breathing a sigh relief that he was I mean look the driving violations are a problem the NFL players union need to have a meeting with these guys and say look you're endangering Public Safety you're endangering yourselves your ability to make money your career I mean look I know it's cool you got fast cars you want to drive fast whatever but look I mean enough already with this it's getting out of control people have died you know enough of this the the players you need to step in and have a big meeting with these guys and talk to him about this specific issue but then there is a part of me that's also was grateful that that's all it was because it's Tyreek Hill and you just don't know what Tyreek Hill H okay let's go to Freedom's question Ford or speaking of Freedom there's a transition for you speaking of Freedom uh Ford or Monty in the non-ppr standard League who do you want Jerome Ford or Montgomery oh non oh nonp Monty easy German minhas Raman rre or javante at rb2 it's ra Andre what what's the format it probably doesn't matter yeah doesn't matter come on shout out to Mike Mayer by the way getting us the information

could tell you that it's going to be a good time let's try to slam in a couple other questions before we goes here uh Bowers or Pitts that's from Alexa Pitts there you go Alexa Dennis Moser 10 team standard should I start an RB or a wide receiver in the flex well Dennis it depends on which ones you can't just throw it out there Stafford or Daniels Daniels for me how about you yes all right if Tyreek doesn't play does that have any effect on your Tua love today um I you know i' actually I have to look and see what Tua did against because the last time we saw ter a game waddle went off against the Jets and I think Tua was still I think he still put up good numbers in that game so I mean I think a little bit I mean I I think you have to downgrade a little bit because if Ty's not out there but I I think I'd still try to start to uh I don't know all right there you have it everybody let's see if we can get one more in here uh let's find a good one here a lot of stuff about Chase again we'll keep you updated on Chase on the Pittsburgh situation to here's one from Paul Prescott Mayfield or Fields assuming fields is the starter today uh I would go Fields G Mendes Joey P looking fly that's right I got the consiliary look today again you're gonna get jacket every Sunday for me coming right from the TV right to here King Gusto pick one Chris Godwin Brian Robinson in the uh standard format oh standard oh standard I'm still going Goin let's go he'll score all right uh here's another one to uh trade single t for Pitman Ed if you could pull that off good on you there's no way anyone should trade you Michael Pitman for Deon single ter uh let's go another Kyler they know Pitman also was arrested and we don't know about it somebody else get arrested I hope that not look I hope that Welsh didn't get arrested on the way over here today that guy drives like a maniac in his big old truck you know you know people don't realize this about Welsh he's got a big old truck he drives you know oh we got we gotta tell Welsh about the Quinton Johnson prop too oh Quinton Johnson 23 and a half yards under under let's go let's go everybody all right we are going to step away for just a moment but don't forget we've also got a lot going on here on the channel we've got another hour of start sick questions the Welsh the Tom Straten will pick up from here hopefully nobody gets

completely jointed on what's happening on uh this Sunday morning I'm Chris Welsh that is Tom it's Tom and Welsh in the house Tom what's up buddy did you uh get completely shaken by the look of Tyreek Hill just on the ground being arrested what the hell's going on I mean you get to this point on a Sunday and you start to feel like you've got a good idea for how the Slate's going to play out and how everything's going and then all of a sudden you're going okay is one of my top three wide receivers for this week suddenly going to be taken out of everything do I need to change all my DFS lineups everything like that and yeah but it it sounds like he's going to play so if he plays I guess you've got to keep him out there and keep him ranked where he is yeah I we planned all week long not for a speeding ticket that's what's going on uh but glad to be here glad you guys are all here hanging with us we're going to be answering your questions into hour two here for the live stream so load them up we got John on the ones and twos he's going to be feeding us questions make sure you guys continue to rock with it Tommy you ready to just absolutely annihilate some questions here by the way uh Quint Johnson they're selling me on Quinton Johnson are you down with an under on Quinton Johnson this week uh I think I'm down to take the unders on Quinton Johnson pretty much every week okay me too but yeah let's let's do it man like just hyped that we finally got some games to start overreacting to right now I'm very I've been overreacting I've been very excited uh I I saved myself by the way from doing this on Friday I wanted to tweet this out so but I kept it to myself and I'll totally just keep it between us and 3,000 plus people but can you M Tom I don't know where you had I I think you do the ranks on the fantasy pros consensus ranks but tell me what all you peons were like to not have saquon Barkley at least as your number two running back because I did and I'm the highest of any of our fantasy pros people I just wish uh Joe who had him I believe at rb5 or Erikson was here to do it but can you imagine Tom not having saquon Barkley as a top two back for week one like I did well let's just say The Bookmark police came at me about a few tweets I might have said about saquan Barkley this offseason uh so yeah but it's all right I'm holding firm we'll see how it plays out over 17 weeks but yeah he definitely wasn't the top two running back for me but more than happy to hear he was for you all right a couple updates here I see John put in here that Rapa Port was going on about the Tyreek thing he was pulled over for a traffic incident about one block from the stadium as you guys all know he has been released several teammates saw the incident and stopped to offer support for Tyreek and then there's another report on the Bangles situation the Bengals and Jamar Chase not expected to reach a contract extension before the game it is unclear if Chase will play today active are in 30 minutes so ladies and gentlemen if you're hanging with us we're GNA find out in about 30 minutes if we are going to be having Jamar Chase or not but a contract extension did not happen Bel not good not good andot Higgins so wheels up uh for Chase Brown too all right let's get to some questions Tom let's get to the first one here this is from Leon the Gent we got a tight end one Fri mouth or Bowers zero PPR so standard touchdown plays where you got I think Bowers was 10 I'm gonna be I'm gonna have the consensus ranks up by the way fantasypros.com rankings if you guys want to look I believe Bowers unless he had moved recently was sitting around 10 and fire moveth I want to say was 11 I will confirm it right now no Bowers has moved down to 12 and fire mouth is 15 so those are the consensus ranks what say you yeah so I've got fryou at 15th I've got Bowers just slightly ahead of consensus at 10th overall for me I just prefer the game environment for Brock Bowers today I don't think that Pat fryou has set up for a great season with these two quarterbacks whether it's fields or Russell Wilson and it just feels a bit iffy you know we saw in preseason that fry Mo was leaving the field when they were playing two tight end sets so if you're not getting somebody who's out there all the time it's a lot harder to be a top 10 high end so yeah a little nervous about fry Mo yeah I'm with the pits one I think it's um it's a little riskier um just because we don't know like the health what kind of what type of limited Snaps are going to be out there we still also just haven't seen where his role is he gon to be end up playing like a slot receiver you know is this going to be like old school Mark Andrews he's just like one of the primary slot guys in general but I think the upside is too great and exactly like you said Tom Bogman is talking a lot about this the two tight end sets FR Ruth is coming out of the game so like he's losing snaps and it's also just an offense that's not going to be built around getting him massive targets I think the upside play is Bowers here the consensus ranks agree they do have him as a starter fire MO is not dodo bird jsn or Keenan Allen Keenan Allen been on the the questionable tag I think all week long but I think he's good to go Json or H Keenan was a tough one this one cuz I like the game environments for both of them and I think you know we've seen definitely plenty of stuff about how Tyler lock banged up but for me I've not been buying any of the fat Keenan narratives I think it's kind of gotten overblown for a player who hasn't played a lot in preseason over the years to start judging him on a couple of snaps from there and then one report which kind of caught fire and everyone ran with nobody was saying Keenan was fat before that point um so yeah I've got Keenan Allen maybe about 10 spots ahead of jsn today but I do like jsn and think that he could have a nice game too I just lean towards Keenan yeah I mean and L and you've had a lot of questionable tags on Lockett for this week I love jsn I'd love for him to get EST established in this game I will say though the only like slight caveat to turn this is I just think one of my best my favorite props this week uh at least in the touchdown Market was Ken Walker I also think Ken Walker is just gonna go berserk uh because this run defense has been so bad and I don't you know I'm not sure we have anything to tell us especially from preseason that it's gotten any better so this could be like a heavy runsh game and I like the Bears today I'm I'm on the Bears side I think Caleb is g to roll and on Kanan Allen if you watch any of Hard Knocks at least proved that he is a safety net guy like he is going to be Caleb safety net guy so you know from a full PPR standpoint I think I could get down with Kenan but jsn would be my guy by the way are you seeing these videos that are out there there are 400 videos of Tyreek Hill on the ground arrest there is a s there's a video I'm looking at right now Tom there is a squad it's like traffic inci 12 cops bike cops that have him on the ground was he driving 145 to the stadium yeah like it it definitely looks pretty crazy I mean like obviously over here in England we play slightly differently to how you guys do but like it shouldn't take four police officers pinning a guy on the floor for a traffic violation like that there are so many cops that are that is wild did not have that on the card it do we need to have like a a police tag or something for a guy if they didn't play being like arrested before the game I don't know that's what a weird morning welcome to week one everybody this is fun all right uh let's see uh Graham Gump says good morning mostart or mclen full PPR I really I think mostart is one of those kind of sneaky plays particularly I play a lot of DFS and I think he's going to give you a lot of Leverage in DFS cuz hm's going to be pretty popular there McLaren I've got a decent bit ahead of him though maybe about seven eight spots in my Flex ranking so I'd lean towards McLaren I think that Washington Tampa Bay game has real shootout potential there the Washington defense is atrocious we saw last year they were like 30 second in past defense D OA so yeah I'm I'm All About that game shooting out so I just lean towards McLaren unless perhaps if Tyreek Hill gets ruled out then maybe I'd pivot and go back to uh moster you know just on the idea that the passing game isn't going to hit quite the heights but yeah it's just McLaren for me I'm actually really really torn on this one because most when you go through like uh touchdown percentages it was actually I did a touchdown video If you guys saw it on BP and I was going through two guys Ken Walker and Gus Edwards I love Gus Edwards today because I think if they are even in the the 10 they're it's going to go to Gus Edwards he is the guy he had the third highest share uh touchdown share of running backs touchdown percentage and the 12th highest inside the five share percentage so I mean it like it goes to him mostard was number one in that touchdown obviously because he scored so much but like as much as we're gonna see Devon Anan all across the field if they get inside is gonna go to moster and he's a touchdown monster but if you are even remotely in the territory that Jaden Daniels is a top 10 because he got ranked pretty aggressively he moved down one spot to 11 in the consensus but he was pushing 10 I I think some people have him top five if you think they're going to roll a little bit it's going to be due to Terry mccorn so in this instance I will go McLaren just simply because I think he's gonna have nine 10 12 targets I mean the ball is going to be flung to him all day long unless we get Luke mcaffrey becoming uh pukaa today I do think mclen is going to be the FG go and because this is full this were half PPR I might give you the slightest lean to mostard but full I am going to sck McLaren yeah that's that's definitely fair and if it was you know if it's standard with no PPR then definitely I'd go towards most up with it by the way uh mayor had a good point Mike mayor fantasy pros Mike Mayer uh just put in a DM the one of the reasons is because this was close to the stadium why there were so many cops still blows my mind when you guys go and search these videos on Twitter it's just like just like 50 of them it's a brigade it actually looks like Hell's Angels of cops that just pulled over and uh is a wild scene so all right uh more questions here life 38 full PPR Chris Godwin or Malik neighbors that's a pretty good one oh I like this one in two plays like I said I'm really high on the books in general this week because they're facing that Washington defense but I've been pretty aggressive on Mal League neighbors this week he's I'm I wouldn't be surprised if I'm probably one of the highest on the expert consensus rankings I've got him at wide receiver nine I think that the environment for him is just perfect you look at that Viking secondary and it is so many The Plight word would be experienced players but you know the non-light word would be a lot of guys in their edging towards mid-30s who might struggle to keep up with Malik neighbors and I think he's just goingon to have a monster week I really like that one I do not have him that high but again like the narrative all offseason long it's been what we've said there's no other offensive weapons like that's actually why I love Daniel Jones again talking in the betting show side but I love Daniel Jones rushing yard prop this week because he's just going to go back to exactly what we've known running around he has two weapons in this offense I mean there'll be somebody that steps up the weapons are Malik and Devon Singletary I don't know we would use Devon Singletary as a weapon so it's Malik neighbors but that's a that's twofold thing is he going to get 13 14 targets peppered and what are those going to look like is it going to end up being like he has eight catches for 58 yards because they have to do Shortline stuff or is he going to break big plays he looks like one of the most explosive players in football I'm willing to put my bets on it so to your point on this like in a full PPR again we're just going to see tons of targets and I I would not be surprised with how just not good of a quarterback Daniel Jones seems to be that they're not going to want a you know 30 40 yards it's going to be Shortline stuff maybe wide receiver screens to get you you have to get Malik neighbors the ball so that really works well benefits for yeah for Malik sorry just going to say like we know Brian Flores is such a aggressive defensive coordinator as well he's going to throw so many blitzers at Daniel Jones and I think yeah just getting the ball out very quickly in Malik neighbors and if Malik neighbors is getting those kind of layup passes and able to break one with the secondaries moving down to help with the blitz then it could be a really good day yeah so targets targets Malik neighbors I think by the way if we didn't fully answer Malik neighbors uh I think we're both going with that there uh Jesse Funk another PPR uh Keenan Allen or Christian Kirk let me just double check where I've got Kirk this week uh so I got Kirk at wide receiver 35 which is just around the same kind of range I've got Keenan Allen at wide receiver 30 I think that both those games I really like for the shootout potential there I think that Keenan Allen probably gets there on more volume today than Christian Kirk does but I mean Trevor Lawrence's um splits are incredibly good when Christian Kirk is on the field compared when he's not so that's probably the tightest question we've had so far Myan would just slightly be towards Keenan Allen because that's the game where I think the Bears got the highest implied team total of this slate uh I am I'm in a slightly lean Keenan Allen as well uh but like Kirk is a Portman's Keenan Allen it's like the same Vibe you know lots of targets yeah not sure we're going to get any big play stuff I kind of like I the difference would be I like Keenan Allen as a Red Zone option more than I like Christian Kirk is a Red Zone option so that that's what and where I would let that lean and push for me on that not bad boy friends we told you about it before we like to give stuff away how about with trophy snack uh trophy smack we've teamed up with our friends over at trophy smack to

I'm making mac and cheese like you know big oh I mean yeah you don't need to mac and cheese good anytime good um mac and cheese now you know what I don't know what it was going to be I think it's going to be mac and cheese now that sounds phenomenal just some good chips I'm actually not like a big big spread guy like if I go somewhere uh that you know does the food I'll do it up but I'm not a big spread guy at the house here I I hyper hyper focused we got we're gon just Vitamin Water we're gonna we're gonna lock in that's it you know partying last night so you got to get the multiple screens ready taking as much as possible no time for looking down at plates whil you try to watch games yeah I I don't have time to eat I have no time to eat I have time to analyze John and JN says he's doing ribs ribs and Mac though maybe the combo is where you do it by the way how many DFS lineups Tom did did you do preseason and how many are you running today uh so preseason I didn't touch any I stayed completely clean because I was just I guess best balls I'm sorry you're a best ball guy I meant to say best ball for preseason um so I think my final count for best ball was around 350 drafts this year uh it was a little bit lower than yeah a bit lower than last year yeah man like got to get busy 3 50 um so I think I had around 20 270 on DraftKings and about the rest were all on drafters and some on ffpc too so it was good offseason lot of fun excited to find out how wrong I am jeez I mean like almost have more that are more teams that are watching the live stream how many what is what are you on DFS today uh DFS I mean I tend to play like the fre entry Max contest or single entry a lot of the time I do have some teams that I like that I threw into some of the low stakes slightly bigger but yeah mainly mainly three main teams and the main one out of those is a bacer Mayfield Mike Evans Chris Godwin book stack and just let's ride that all day I was you be like oh just like a low total of like 74 I'm like good Lord man no no no no no no not yeah good for you I'm I'm not I I have some best balls but I don't have what was it 300 what uh it was about 350 it's crazy that's a wild number chat you you want know how many times I drafted off EA oh um can I take it like let me give a percent share 18% so I don't how many like let's say I sorry I should give you number 50 times zero zero probably the hardest stance I've got this year it's it's Brian Robinson season think you're gonna regret that can anybody beat Tom does anybody have more leagues chat let us know has anyone come even close and I it would have to clearly be best ball because that is a wild number oh yeah I'm not saying that many lineups my boy Justin if you guys saw the video Justin steel Cubs pitcher not even close to that so can anybody beat Tom let us know all right let's get back to some questions Aaron asked superflex field Stafford Gino I think we're still waiting on this another weird situation that we've had that um Joey and Erikson were talking about was this like Fields versus Russ Russ is trying to push to play so I don't think we have exactly what's happening so maybe you have to put that in here maybe you just have a lean either way but field Stafford Gino yes so at a minute I've got Stafford just ahead of uh Gino so Stafford's my qb1 16 and then Gino's down at about qb2 for me Fields is the one that yeah as soon as we get the news I'll probably make a call on it but I imagine he's probably going to end up about qb4 so i' I'd be okay pushing in the chips on Justin Fields but if you want the safer option I think it's Matthew Stafford so I'm also going to read this as like is because it's a super Flex he's like what two do you start so would you go Stafford's the no-brainer here so between is it just Gino for the safety and if Fields is active it's that's a no-brainer yeah and I I do like Gino for this week but I think the out of these game environments that the Broncos are more likely to suck the air out of the game than either of the other teams that those quarterbacks are facing so I if Fields plays then I'd just give that lean towards him as qb2 uh one piece I I guess this came out a tiny bit ago like really right before we came out uh just leaning up on the Jamar Chase stuff one positive thing that report whatever it was like 20 minutes ago that there was no contract agreement and his status is unknown there is a video this is from Bridget Condon who is an on air with NFL Network that Jamar Chase was is on field uh working I mean he's in like shorts and stuff as everybody is but he was on with all the guys kind of doing warm-ups and stuff like that that seems like a good sign if you're kind of scared of Jamar Chase so we've got some contract stuff that's just broken from Adam shef that Dak Prescott signed a fouryear $240 million deal with the Cowboys so that's uh definitely close to the wire but I I kind of thought that that one might not happen 231 million guaranteed holy crap Okie do so big money so uh how about them paychecks is what's going down in Dallas that is that's a big number not the contract that anybody wanted to see you wanted to see Jamar Chase but we'll continue to follow we're probably I think we're eight minutes away right now from uh the inactives being reported so we'll have some news for you hopefully breaking on Jamar Chase and you know hopefully Tyreek out of the out of the lockup or whatever the hell is going on uh all right uh Romus says got a Chan and moster start one or play one oh start both or play one and then put Ridley in so this is really hn moster Ridley half PPR start two yeah I think that's definitely going to be weeks where I'd be open to starting both of them um in my Flex rankings I have Raheem MOA 61st and Calvin Ridley 60th so like it's really difficult for me to make that call I think I would possibly just side towards the Ridley side of it well you were a bit higher on most of me in general would you go with him uh the problem is uh we also have to see DeAndre Hopkins DeAndre Hopkins been dealing with this like potential MCL tear that he's playing with I mean he looked questionable if he's not in then Ridley's the guy today half PPR does make it dicey I think I would be com I'd be pretty comfortable going Ridley and Anan in this one I mean moser's gonna score three touchdowns because of that but I can't bench Anan and when a guy to me is like call kind of solely built around touchdowns and I have another guy that's a Target play like I I want to go with the target play because I think not only will I get volume but I also have the opportunity for a touchdown I don't know what that looks like with with moster I mean we do know what that looks like last year 20 touchdowns but I just don't know if that's going to be this year so I would go Ridley and aan and this one is that what you said or did you say yeah that's what that's what I said it's just a slight lean to Ridley over mosta but yeah I think like the weeks where I'd start both moster in hn would be those weeks where the by weeks start hitting and you kind of it forces your hand a little bit more all right we we have a piece of breaking news it is official Justin Fields is starting for the Pittsburgh Steelers today get him in the lineups Justin Fields was the ranks are not going to help you here because everyone's gonna have to adjust Justin Fields was QB 27 now that he is a starter Tom where is he gonna go this is official I think you I think you were saying it earlier uh yes top 15 yeah I'm going to put him up to qb4 I've just adjusted mine and updated to the website now so he just Lots just ahead of kind of bake Mayfield just behind t for me yeah I'm taking a look at this man I think you can justify top 12 um I'm probably gonna put I really like Caleb today I'm probably gonna put him right around that 14 area so I I don't think it matters where uh Tom and I necessarily have him in that he is going to be an almost consensus top 15 QB now for this week that's where it's going to go so you know if you're in a super Flex like that question we had before it's not even a question now enjoy your Stafford and Fields and you know reign supreme for this week but you know it is tougher if you've got Tua or you've got Justin fields on on what to deal with but Fields gonna run like he's gonna run a bunch and the big play is more in play today with a guy like uh George Pickins you know you could have some better potential big plays so it's top 15 and if you've got a tough decision you could play it safer but um you know the Tua Stafford Mayfield area if that's what you're dealing with Fields theoretically might be a better option so yeah and I think it's you know if we had a better idea of what this Pittsburgh offense was going to look like under alfha Smith maybe youd be a push it a little bit further but how much of it runs through the running backs you know is Pat FY going to be involved constantly or coming off the field and outside of George pickings there's just guys who are very hard to have any faith in which is why I just keep him just outside the top for the top 12 but I mean you know if you're a Justin Fields truer then by all means go with your gut and say what you believe with him because we know how high the ceiling is 100% all right uh let's see where do we leave off Shane says Jaylen Warren or they just said Warren or Robinson so I'm gonna assume this is Brian Robinson and Jaylen Warren full PPR though still feels like Brian Robinson though yeah I think with Jaylen Warren coming off the hamstring injury you know we see particularly the running back position reoccurrences of those like Brian Robinson for me by probably seven or eight spots okay there so we're both there Evan full PPR do I go rre or javante what do you think oh I like that one that's a tough one for me because they're both very similar range in my in my rankings I think I'd lean towards Javonte um the steel is one if Jamar Chase is limited then it just becomes a little difficult to see lots of points being put up on the board in that game in general and gavonte is probably going to have a slightly better points total on that game I would imagine so I'd just lean there I I lean ra Andre so not we're not helping you too much the rre is still a big force of that offense um I like him on both sides there's still a question is fun like is the matchup could play well you have what Joe and Erikson were talking about in the first hour you've got like Jalil mlin who is gonna play some type of a role in here so I don't really foresee anybody taking shares from ra Andre where I do with javante so I'm gonna go with ra Andre um Cowboy says Dak or burrow Cowboy questioning burrow or Dak I mean that's two environments which could be slightly bumpy for fantasy points I think this one comes down to if Jamal Chase plays I'd go Joe burrow and I think that you'd see the man on the mission kind of game from Jamar Chase and Joe burrow there but if he doesn't then it becomes Dak for me yeah I uh I'm a burrow guy here but if Chase is out I'm not a burrow guy so that's pretty pretty simple like what what is he doing ciki I don't know so yeah Dak Dak would be a replacement if uh there is no Jamar Chase but it is leaning it looks like it's leaning we should get um some notes here very shortly half PPR Montgomery or Ford this is from El Robinson I quite like Montgomery this week I think that he's got a really nice matchup so uh I'm just looking where I have Ford yeah I'm a few spots ahead on David Montgomery I think that game in general there's going to be plenty of points on it I think Rams defense is going to be good this year but I'm still expecting Montgomery to have goal line work for the Lions I don't think that's going to have completely G to jir Gibbs so I just lean towards uh Montgomery by maybe seven or eight spots there I want to say Ford I really do uh I I kind of I I almost had him as a prop this week Dallas actually surprisingly does give up some rushing yards Ford is the guy he's also going to catch out of the back field but I just don't like I wouldn't be surprised if Cleveland doesn't score any points like this this we and maybe that's being dramatic and I know they're a favorite so Ford I think is a solid play the Montgomery side to this is like that's the I think it's the highest total of the week so it's highest implied total if they get into the uh Red Zone we know exactly where Montgomery is going to start getting into Play No Matter What G Gibbs has done very high likelihood for Montgomery touchdown this week and again that that's like a weird play here I do think Ford has a better potential for um for touches but Montgomery's are going to be more impactful so I'll Montgomery and if you care about the ranks 20th in half PPR on the consensus ranks for Montgomery 27 for Ford so yeah and the browns offensive Line's just so banged up at the minute that like I kind of want to see how some of these players that are being pushed into slightly different roles or playing injured before I kind of feel real confidence in that running game at the minute yeah and I can see like Browns fans would be mad I said that but it's just like Watson's not good like the other pieces like like Mark Cooper love Mari Cooper and I like Dron Ford and joku I have Shera deshun Watson's not good and if he proves to good this week great we'll turn face on it but he was not and I'm not going to bet on that I I'm still that is still one of the weirder lines to me this week was um at least I haven't looked this morning but Browns favored I think two and a half it was over the Cowboys and I just didn't Vibe didn't Vibe I actually teased that that Cowboys team up you can tease him up to like eight and a half that's ridiculous anything over a touchdown Cowboys versus Browns is a ridiculous tease piece if you care about that it just it just seems like maybe we're giv a little too much credit to the Browns defense and I know they're still a really good unit and there's still a lot of really good players there but we see defenses regress so often year to year and they were really special last year so I'm wouldn't be surprised at all if they did drop off slightly this year and I didn't realize that the Giants were yeah dogs in that one but I'd be open to taking the Cowboys there even at 2.5 yeah it's still two and a half all right uh let's see half PPR Robinson single ter or mlin so Brian Robinson single mlin I feel like isn't in this territory so we're going to eliminate him I mean you can tell me otherwise if you don't feel that way but this half single Terry Robinson this is single Terry for me single ter is going to be the majority option uh of what's not great in New York he can play he can be a three down back he will be volume I don't know what that volume will look like but it's gonna be volume I'm not 100 you're anti-ck I'm not anti-er so I don't know if it's you know 20 plus Touches for Robinson this is pretty easy single ter to me though yeah this is easy for me as well and again you know we talked about like how the Vikings defense could look to be aggressive and one way to beat that is to get the ball in the hands of a running back and to get through the line of scrimmage and start to force them to defend differently so yeah I'm I'm in on single Terry uh Jamal Chase is officially active boom when did that just who uh reported it that's Tom peliso from NFL Network reporting it so now becomes the question how high do you Frank Jamar chase this week I've been quite hesitant on him after he's been in and out of practice I think I've got him round about wide receiver 20 which doesn't feel particularly great but maybe I'll him up some here okay well you bring up an interesting thing because as soon as you said that I was going to be like what does it matter like it matters to us who are ranking on the expert ranking platform so you know we can be the number one ranker of the week to people listening and playing like you just play you play them but if you're putting them in the 20s you are opening up this this opportunity to say like hey if you play in a two wide receiver format maybe Chase isn't someone you're going to want to play it it has The Vibes of auk like I don't really want to start auk this week because he's gonna be on a version of a snap count he's got a horrible matchup on the corners like I think you can find plenty of other options but in a two wide receiver format I will probably have Chase right around that 12 area because I'm trying to dictate I'm not not starting him but if you have him around 20 someone legit might have let's say uh Chase I'm just looking at the wide receiver ranks Wadd and then maybe they have neighbors and then down here it's like uh Terry McClaren you know if that's the case where is Chase in in that wide receiver core for you is he the third is he after I mean you have neighbors at nine so I I purposely did that I've I mean I've got W ahead of Chase in my rankings at minute I've got WD at 17th because of that kind of shootout potential that we've got there in Jacksonville so I think in that situation it becomes for Jamal Chase versus Terry McLaren one and I probably would still lean Jamal Chase there like Ben in Jamal Chase in week one it's just not going to feel great yeah I think think you can get get him in but I mean it's kind of a it's kind of a tough one well guess what tough ones no challenge for us with my playbook my friends yes are you confused who to start worried you'll make the wrong choice let let us do the work for you and take the stress out of lineup management with my playbooks a autopilot tool said this before with my playbook it's like having fantasy pros analysts by your side autopilot makes it easy to manage your fantasy team's lineup get suggested lineup changes via email have us auto swap in active players for you that's the worst that is the worst when an inactive player happens like right at the end you know they get arrested or something or you can turn on our full autopilot mode to have your optimized lineup set automatically each week use autopilot at Fantasy pro.com myplaybook or on the fantasy football myplaybook app for both peace of mind and the best shot at Victory each week said it and forget it that's right my friends all right questions questions we will start to move into a little bit more rapid fire I want to make sure we are getting all your guys' stuff here uh Joseph says Murray or gof today he's torn uh I really like Kyla Murray this week I think that environment's really fun and I think that Kyla Murray is going to rush for a lot more yards we did even last year when we saw him averaging like 30 rush yards a game off the ACL I like go I like go I mean like hand up I'm gonna completely admit I think the Cardinals are going to be trash this year and this but I'm a 49ers fan so and I also live in Arizona so like I extra hate all of that um and I'm not as much of a Murray guy my my thing I would just kind of lean back to highest implied total in that Lions game G's going to sling it so three touchdown day like I don't know I I don't think you can go wrong with either one of these you have the rushing upside for Murray but I you know I think if you piece together some of the betting side of this like Goff is a decent play and and I'll tell you this is very contrary to um what the ranks are saying ranks Kyler Murray is uh seven Jared gof is 11 if you want like high upside it's Murray because Murray has the rushing he could throw for 250 two touchdowns and run for a 100 I think there's a slightly lower ceiling but a much higher floor with a guy like Goff where it's like 2502 touchdowns that's just every Sunday you know for Jared G so I lean a little bit on that side yeah and I think if you've got a scoring setting which rewards passing touchdowns like higher than normal then definitely I could see the jarro G side oh that's a good one too yeah if it's like six sixo passing touchdown uh we have with a lot of Jamar CH stuff in here this is a good one Mark said Justin fields Daniels I think I just lean towards Jaden Daniels there just because of what I talked about before that I feel like there's good shootout potential in that game in between Washington and Tampa Bay same z uh Cody says standard so no PPR pick two Flex Pitman leaport and Cil Shakir that's pretty easy Pitman and leaport right yeah that's it I mean I think that Pitman I'm a little lower on him than most people this week but it's still clearly Pitman over Shakir uh Brandon says good morning Bros Flex half PPR Deonte or Brian Thomas that's a great one oh that is a great one I mean Deontay for me is 65th in my Flex rankings let me just double check where Brian Thomas here is a good chunk further down I think like you just kind of waiting to see on it I think Brian Thomas's upside is clearly massive but I would probably go with the established veteran and Deontay Johnson there yep we know we know like where the volume is going to be we're we could have big huge play for Brian Thomas but we're just a little un it could be Xavier worthy like but we're just not sure I would Lan went Deontay uh breaking news T Higgins inactive he is officially inactive for the day with Jamar Chase active so we know we are without Higgins for sure Jamar Chase is a go and DeAndre Hopkins officially active so maybe puts a little bit into that Calvin Ridley question from earlier like I felt better if maybe Hopkins didn't play because we just know his comfortability with it you know I might because what was that one that was Ridley versus Brian Thomas I think earlier um it was it was yeah and it was I know it was Ridley versus Raheem mosta wasn't it so I think yeah I think it kind of stays about where I probably had it before for me I probably lean back to moart now with the John Deere Hopkins active it was that much of a swing like that's how important it can be all right uh Joseph says Tony po or Brian Robinson and half PPR that'll probably be the last Brian Robinson question I answered uh that's probably Tony paard for me Pard as well for me um Jerome Ford or moster full PPR this is from Jonesy I I think I'm leaning towards Ford there like I mean I do like most it but I think it's still probably Ford on volume but that yeah it's not an easy one how about you Welsh full PPR uh that's like that slight lean where I I feel comfortable Jerome Ford getting a couple passes out of the back field and volume so I think I would lean forward the mustard is the toughest one for me this week because like implied touchdown Equity he's like number one like it's it's him and David Montgomery those are like the top two guys where it's like try to convince me that they're not gonna score a touchdown you know because both of those offenses will be humming they both get the goal line stuff it's just that this is really difficult I I think mustard is like hands down the toughest to rank this week at least in my eyes and and he sits right in that David Montgomery range uh speaking of which uh no let's go to a different one here there's this load of like Montgomery and moster questions I actually could have I could have transitioned that like beautifully how it's set up but I didn't want to do that um let's see Jennifer says Brandon Cooks Gabe Davis or DeAndre Hopkins doesn't get any other specifics though I think I'm going Hopkins Fair like I think Gabe Davis has got a nice game environment but it's obviously very boom or bust um yeah I think that one's Hopkins for me I've got more confidence there now that he's active I'm going to go with Hopkins as well I don't love the rest of the group I mean I think there's an argument for cooks and some of that but yeah I don't not in love not in love um God you guys have so many Brian Robinson questions it's bzero Cody says would you start Pickins over iuk knowing he's gonna have his snaps reduced full PPR yes what yeah I think that's a really good one and like I wasn't overly high on George pickings this offseason but they're right around each other in rankings for me and if you drafted George pickings you got to have some faith in him that he can deliver it's what youve drafted him for so yeah lean towards pickings gotta have faith faith faith Pickins yeah just avoid iuk in general if you have a viable option I don't need auk this week and if you're wrong you're wrong but it's just like this is not the week iuk I think if anything is gon to be um I don't want to call it like decoy because they're not going to use him necessarily in that but like you know he's really good blocker downfield he's going to take up that sauce space uh when he's out there so I think in that respect he's a really good decoy like that in the offense where they can get dvo the ball in open field try to get some Yak I just I don't love them trying to stretch him out with missing all the time that he did he Lov he best time of his life not playing in the preseason uh Jordan says JK Dobbins or Rasheed Shahed at Flex Half Point PPR I think i' just lean towards JK dubbins I think you know we've got to play dubbins whil he's healthy he's healthy now the team seems you know much higher on him than you possibly would have expected given the contract he had so yeah just a slight lean towards Dobbins big Dobbins guy here so uh I love I even though I said Gus Edwards is my touchdown play I think it is Dobbins a lot on uh on middle Downs if you have a 10-play drive I wouldn't be surpris you know first play is Gus first maybe play or two is Gus Edwards JK Dobbin comes in for the next seven and then if they're in that goal line spot bam it goes to Gus Ed I just like Dobbins to be kind of that like open field player so I love Dobbins for a little bit more volume uh we have George says Chase brown or Taj Spears and it looks like this is full PPR I think I'm leaning towards Chase Brown in that situation it seems like the Bengals really want to make it happen with him even if Zach MOS gets the early run out here and gets more Touch of Swope in the season if this game script goes the way that we expected to with Bengals winning easily then Chase Brown could be in line for a lot of second half touches also Chase Brown I'm not letting uh I'm I'm not going to let the depth chart affect me I I'm not sure there was a single player that was more affected by depth chart than Chase Brown Chase Brown everybody loved him loved him loved him and then they listed Zach Moss as the rb1 and everyone's like nope see you I don't care uh I would go with ch taji Spirits is also I mean a solid play like he you can see one of those open field things the spell back back you know if Tony Pard is the first four or five plays and taji spear comes in and you get a defense that's tired taji spear is going to beat you so you know there is an excitement there but I would go uh on the other side with Chase Brown uh Z Zulo says morning boys pick two Brian Thomas lad makoni Curtis Samuel Kyle pittz this is PPR so I think Pitts is probably the first one who I'd be definite on and then what did we have after that we had Brian Thomas uh Curtis Samuel it was Brian Thomas lad Curtis Samuel and pittz I think I might lean towards lad makoni there like I'm not a huge lad guy but I think that this week that kind of sets up quite nicely against the Raiders I am leaning what I'm sorry what did you say you said Pitts and makoni yeah okay I'm gonna go Pitts as well I'm gonna go Brian Thomas because I we had an anti Brian Thomas I think there's also like a question of what lad is going to be from a volume standpoint in that offense which is going to lean more run heavy has Josh Palmer um I like the big play potential a little bit more on Brian Thomas on that one let's see as we keep moving here how about H we got the Dak contract stuff in here McClaren or Cooper full PPR from Ryan uh I think that one's probably Mari Cooper for me I mean you know it's the Revenge game against the Cowboys Amari is the top 20 wide receiver me this week Terry McLaren's kind of like in that wide receiver three range we have looking at the ranks here Amari Cooper is 24 and mclen is 27 on the uh on the consensus ranks I'm good with Amari I mean I also said they might not score any points uh but Amari Cooper is the guy he is the volume guy theoretically Jerry Judy we don't know if it's gonna hurt or help I think maybe helps a little bit has more defensive coverage open up maybe that gets Amari Cooper just a tiny bit more of a window um but I wouldn't I also say I wouldn't kill anybody for starting McLaren over aari Cooper I think they're in the same tier I think was what's important to me they're not like in separate tiers so we'll both go with Cooper um but you know right there Mike says courland Sutton or Naji Harris most likely Flex here let's just assume half PPR because we didn't get that I think if we're going half PPR then I'm probably going to lean towards nji Harris I think with Jaylen Warren coming off for hamstring injury that he could see a lot of touches today particularly if the Steelers uh leaning into of a run also Naji Harris I'm a little scared about the Steelers backfield situation and what literally what Coral Patterson's going to do to Jaylen Warren to nii and how that's fully G to play out I don't know but I will go with Nai on this one friends there is still time where you guys

it's rapid fire time it is rapid fire time as we end out here we are closing in on about an hour till kickoff so let's hit these bad boys and Go full PPR Flex Amari Cooper or DJ Moore DJ Moore DJ Moore all day long Douglas Herbert or Tua Tua Tua definitely uh TJ I I think I said Douglas last time this is TJ I have Higgins out I have Judy on the bench or should I go after Palmer um in PPR I think I'd go Palmer Palmer over Judy right yeah uh what about slovis though that was also the other option uh so who yhi BOS Yoshi um yeah I think Yoshi's fine but I'd probably still go Palmer I would go with Palmer as well um another Judy question that's so interesting let's go James Cook or puka that is from certified JB stuff it's it's puka it's always P yeah it's got to be puka it's puka unless it's like nine other players in the NFL so uh Ashton says half PPR need an rb2 Chase Brown Taj Spears Jalil mlin I think it's Chase Brown for me Chase Brown that makes sense that's where we were uh Stafford or Trevor Lawrence by Andrew I think I'm probably Trevor Lawrence by a couple of spots there Trevor Lawrence as well for me uh half PPR Flex Pickins or ra Andre Stevenson I think got just leaned towards ra Andre I'm gonna go volume with ra Andre as well but you know less volatile that one makes me not feel as comfortable yeah well just like sorry not to change the Quick Draw format but uh if you're in a bit of a deficit from the Thursday and Friday night games and need to shoot for upside then I'd go with pickings that's a good point yeah definitely a good point but also make sure that deficit isn't like oh I well I guess it is I was about to say like oh I went up against Rashid rice and whatnot and and start to make silly moves but if you went up against Rashid rice and saquon Barkley you should probably attempt some Hail Marys at this point ish if you're trying to win the week it's still going to be a rough go of it um Nicholas said any concern even as field starts that he has a short leash if Wilson is close that's actually kind of an interesting aspect to it that Russ was trying to play I ass here's my only caveat I would say is if Fields was given the go if you're talking about this game having a short leash I don't I think they're having him start because they don't do not want Russ to play I guess the an the answer would also come in was Russ put on the inactive list today I didn't see that uh no I saw the it was Russ Russ was definitely out but I didn't see whether he was active or not um but he is no I see it he is he's on the inactive list Russ is inactive for this game so maybe you were asking a deeper longer season question yeah of course Russ is GNA start when he is good to go I think they've proven that unless Fields goes Bonkers but today that's not because at least I see in a couple different spots that Russ Wilson was put put on the inactives yeah Mike tomlin's so headstrong that I think it's going to be incredibly difficult for his mind to be changed anytime soon I think we definitely see a prolonged period of Russell once he's healthy uh all right Ryan s said hey uh Pros who do I start at Flex Kirk or McLaren I'm GNA go with McLaren this is full PPR by the way yeah I go McLaren all right uh start Kyler or Justin field still go Kyler right yeah Kyler for me just it also comes out just better weap yeah PPR Flex spot single T Addison or Sutton uh single ter for me I will go also single ter uh JC iuk or tank PPR absolutely tank it's yeah tank that one's uh not even close yeah uh Tim the fat dad Caleb or Tua and you get half Point rushing first down that one pushes it even more towards Caleb for I mean we know he's not as much of a dual threat as Jaden Daniels but it's a guy who averaged what over seven Rush attempts per game in college so yeah I think that's a great format for Caleb uh Addison or Brian Tom oh but I said Caleb as well I I really like Caleb and that weird like extra thing that really benefits Caleb uh Addison or Brian Thomas from vble uh I think I probably lean towards Addison there but again it's like I just don't really have a good feel on what Brian Thomas's week on stuff going to look like whereas Jordan Addison I think this is a good environment that game so yeah I think they're super super close I'm going to go with Brian Thomas on that one for a little bit more of that upside play but you also know what Addison can do so uh it's in play Dobbins or Brian Robinson I did another Brian Robinson question course uh I'm gonna lean Dobbins just sticking with kind of a feel that I have on with Brian Thomas love me some dobbies um Taj spear we already did that one let's see uh oh this interesting when iuk or makoni that's the first one I've seen where it's not like yeah don't do iuk I'm like oh H maybe you talk yourself into auk you kind of like makoni though this week I like makoni but not over auk I think I think you know makuni you're looking at what like a game where he gets five six catches and ends up sneaking into the end zone maybe I can get there on a couple of big plays and even if he's not playing every snap then uh maybe that one is fair but yeah I'm just I'm I'm I auk there I would this this is an instance uh I know it's rapid fire I actually kind of want to look here where auk is 25 on the consensus ranks and makoni where are you I oh he's 49 holy crap he's 49 on the consensus ranks here so even the scary the scaries of Brandon iuk isn't taking people away he's like at least a flex option so I I mean I don't care what the rank say it's not going to make my decision but but auk was already kind of the guy would lean on that so that's the first time we both said auk so there you go um a lot of Jamar Chase in here Jamar Chase Chris God I I almost don't want to answer any more Jamar Chase ones because we kind of did it but here's like a pseudo one Jamar Chase Chris Godwin is that gonna take you it's not gonna take me off a Chase is it gonna take you no and even with me really liking that game environment for the bucks today it would still be chased by probably four or five spots in my rankings okay actually here's a good one uh I'm assuming this is a flex Jeremy says standard Chase versus moard I mean that's that's that's a really good one and I don't think the rankings would have them particularly close necessarily but I I Ain got maybe Edge towards mosta in standard like that I just like don't know if Chase is gonna be limited I I'm gonna just go chase I'm not going to get too cute about it yeah like I'm still ranking him as like a wide receiver one like right around 12 I'm just not going to get queued I'm going to do it but that is the question where it's like oh that's touchdown Equity you know so like you could do it if you wanted to no one would kill you for it uh Nico Godwin or single Terry PPR Nico Godwin or single Terry NCO me yep Nico as well um lot of the same questions Chris Godwin or James Connor full PPR uh Chris Godwin for me James con uh full PPR yeah Godwin D I want to say James Connor I think Conor's love James Conor yeah uh I think like for me in terms of like if was going purely a flex rankings I've got James Connor maybe like seven or eight spots behind Chris Godwin i' just lean towards about like yeah let's see Dak Stafford Trevor Lawrence by Rico Dak Stafford Trevor Lawrence uh it'd be Trevor Lawrence one then then Stafford 2 and daak 3 I think because I'm just not highing that game environment being particularly fruitful this week but I don't think there's any real wrong answers there uh an interesting note in there yeah I I agree with you by the way I would go anybody cares I'd probably go Lawrence on that one um interesting is note that was just out there Jaylen Wright healthy scratch week one probably expected but just want to throw that out for the moster and Anan people that Jaylen Wright is not going to even be out on the field so there's nothing no no Shenanigans are going to happen we're just trying to avoid Shenanigans was about to do a Super Troopers bit but not gonna do have you seen Super Troopers of course of course yeah shenan oh the stuff on the wall yeah it's just Super Troopers all day long uh Ken Walker or gavon Williams oh ken Walker oh yeah K Ken Walker big week I have him at seven I think this week so it's absolutely him uh iuk Aaron Jones or tank Dell Aaron Jones for me uh let me just double check where I've got Aaron Jones I think yeah I think I'd possibly lean towards Aaron Jones on that wait a minute Aaron Jones has already played no it's a Vikings oh Vikings I'm still on the Green Bay days my God I need you had me absolutely worried it's week one I was like is there a game that I did no no I know what you mean yeah Josh Jacobs yeah no yeah Aaron Jones with Vikings not the Packers you stopped my heart a little bit I was like what game happened yeah I would go with there and I love tank though I love those two guys it's great situation to be in here yeah uh bur uh burrow or Caleb Williams by Mason uh I'm Caleb Williams I would go burrow still especially that we have Chase but I do think Caleb's gonna have a good day but I I'm gonna lean on bro so go with your gut Mason um do I drop mlin for Fields I have Jaden Daniels as my qb1 I think we both still lean Jaden didn't we yeah I mean if you want a stash Fields but I don't mind that like you know if it's a a league where your teammates your league mates are going to be trying to grab Fields then it's worth grabbing him now rather than having to wait and see and if he goes off today rather than having to fight out on waivers there'll be more opportunities to pick up mlin because it's probably going to be a slow and steady climb for him this is a great one ghost Gus Edwards or nii Harris at Flex uh that's that's Nai for me it's nausey but my favorite touchdown play of the day is still Gus so just going to put I mean but Gus might have you know seven points today you know it might be eight carries for 12 yards and a touchdown so I'll go with niji for the volume uh Christian Kirker and Amari Cooper as we are ending out here that's Amari Cooper that is also am Amari Cooper uh Swift or mlin half PPR Swift I mean you know mclin try to get to the point of the job which Swift already has the lead in a committee agreed uh a uh Nico Collins or Cooper cup that's an I suppose an interesting one I'm Cooper cup all day every day this week but uh so let me see so I have that's my wide receiver 12 in Cooper cup and my wide receiver 11 in Nico Collins so I just lean to Nico Collins but like flip a coin on that one uh let's see Dylan said Brian Thomas uh Keon Coleman or uh Losi VOS and the flex Brian Thomas i' I've kind of leaned that way I don't mind Brian Thomas for me it's Brian Thomas or Yoshi like I don't think i' put Keon Coleman in there uh Keenan Allen Rome or Sutton half PPR uh I think I would be Keenan Allen here mainly because I just really like that game environment I would also go with Keenan on that one that one's a really tough one all right I'm gonna just try to do a scroll just to get like two more in here uh how about well Palmer or Wadd that's an easy waddle right yeah easily by by a long distance by a lot how about Drake London or waddle full PPR oh uh that one's going to be Drake London for me but I'm a bit of a drake London Slappy and have been on that train all offseason so probably by about two spots in my ranking I've got Drake London all right I'm doing a big old scroll single t or zamir white just trying to look for a couple guys we haven't mentioned I mean zamir White's a tricky one isn't it because of all the Alex Madison stuff um I've definitely cooled on him a little bit over the last few weeks I think I just lean towards single T I think I'm going to lean towards Samir white on that one that one's close Addison Eckler PPR it's gonna be it's gonna be Addison for Tom right it's Addison for me I'll go Eckler I'll go eckan the full PPR he has less than four catches be shocked this week so there's at least four points that might be 4.8 points though uh on the day all right last one how about this San Francisco defense Cincinnati defense someone got my attention they put the fire emojis in there I hate to I hate to fall for emojis from you guys but you got yeah it's going to be the Bengals for me I mean I don't think that they're as good as a San Francisco defense but against jacobe brette yeah 100% yeah I'm G start I I mean the Niners might shut down the Jets but that's a
