Berry: Fair to start worrying about Christian McCaffrey | Fantasy Football Happy Hour | NFL on NBC

so let's jump into some very important R World Player news here and we'll kick things off with Christian McCaffrey who listen they're calling it day to-day leading into week two against the Vikings killes tendonitis a c stain we're all day today we're all day to day and Christian mcaffrey is very day today right now this is looking like another Jordan Mason week Matthew it really is I mean so shefer Adam shefer reported that there is a chance that mcaffry could miss week two um they're dealing with uh he says like Achilles soreness I don't even know what that is but that that doesn't sound good um especially because listen again I'm no doctor here but I feel like if you're a running back you need your Achilles to be healthy to run maybe yeah um and if you're Kyle Shanahan if you're the San Francisco 49ers just play this out logically if you're the San Francisco 49ers you're KY shanan you're like let me think about this all right well we want to be back in the Super Bowl this year so we want this season to go you know well past 18 weeks we want to play you know whatever 22 23 weeks and um uh we play the Vikings well we just we just handled the Jets which is supposedly one of the best defense in the NFL we we had no issue with them Jordan Mason looked great Jordan Mason looked great uh well I think we're gonna be okay against Sam darnold uh and the Vikings I think we'll be able to squeak out a win without chrish mcaffrey we can let's keep him healthy for one more week and let's see how it plays out like there's no urg if I'm the 49ers there's no urgency here they they manhandled the the Jets right they manhandle them and I don't think Vikings played well against the Giants but whatever like I don't think if you objectively you don't think you're you're less worried about the Vikings defensively than you are the 49ers although I think the Vikings have a good defense this year and I think they'll be better and I think Flores has done a nice job there but still if you're if you're KY Shanahan and you're like oh by the way we'll also have Brandon auk up to speed by this week as well uh Pie looked better we got Trent Williams back like I he said uh if I as I sit here today I feel like it is more like than not mcaffrey sits on Sunday yeah I'm going to say he doesn't play again Kyle shanan also said that if it was a playoff game he would have played now I don't know what that even adds positive to the situation because the playoffs is in January like okay and fantasy were like like all right yeah what we going to do with that K but yeah I just you know if this was a playoff game he would have played but if it's Mason is he a top 10 play for you he is he's actually my running back 10 he's right there on the he's right there on the border I met running back 10 in my initial ranks I do as I sit here today I expect mcaffry to sit and Mason to play and if you drafted M mcaffrey number one overall like you're allowed to be a little worried and I you know I I think yeah you may want to you know depends on the rest of your depth in that kind of situation obviously Mason is is likely gone in your league I would assume he is if he wasn't picked up before the game on Monday I'm sure he went you know waivers has gone through every League yeah but if for somehow he is still you're going to grab him but otherwise like make an offer he offer I I I picked mcaffrey number one in one League that's the only pick I had number one didn't draft Jordan Mason because they only allow you a certain amount of running backs and going into Monday night I was able to put mcaffrey in the IR pick up Jordan Mason I'm good yeah sitting pretty that I had because I'd be stressing if I can't do that I have a I have a dynasty team in this league of experts and uh in the fantasy industry and like uh prior to last year I'd won two of the four four years and I'd finish like second one year and the third another year like I I sort of had a great little Dynasty run two titles but then like I had to tear it all down so last year was a tank year uh and I ended up with a number one pick I got Marvin Harrison great this year again I'm I like I've just put in it's the team's gotten older and decimated by injuries and so like last week like again I'm expecting to lose again and be like have the number one pick again this year so this is the dumb just to shows you how dumb fantasy football can be sometimes my running backs in this league I don't have mcaffry in this league but I have Jordan Mason I picked up Jordan Mason last year and literally I'm so bad at running back that on Friday I had to set my starting lineup of my two running backs the two best running backs I had on my team at the is Jordan Mason and Austin Eckler like that's all I I me again because my team has just gotten old and whatever and players are injured and then at tight end I also have TJ hackinson obviously he's out for the year so the only other tight end that I actually have on the team team again it's a dynasty team was Isaiah likeley so I started Isaiah likeley I started Jordan Mason again like I'm going to lose but these are these are the best players I have on my team three points from each of them yeah I'm going to get three points from each one but they're at least going to be active because I've got like again I got like the Cedric Tans of the world on this team like I mean it's a 12 team League 33 man rosters with three IR spots it goes deep like if you have a pulse dami Brown is owned in this league I mean it's just right and so I I had the highest score in the league I have no business having the highest score in the league I won I I'm sorry Jeff Collins wherever you're at like you deserve you had a better team than me you should have beaten me you didn't like hey I can respect that you say that though CU a lot of folks be trying to act like when they win that when they get that cheap win they be like it was the cheapest win of all time like I I when I started Jordan Mason it was literally because I was just like maybe he gets five carries you know what I mean but like every other like no he's a top five running back deont it's like Deontay Foreman like my running back room is so ugly and decimated and um like it just the dumbest win and I started isaia likely because I I'm like well they going to play two tight in set maybe he cats five points or something like that and anyway it better luy between the two of those guys and I also have CER Cup on that team so it just like it just like I ended up with the highest score in the league which I had no business doing you know it's it's also it's a tight end Premium League so likely 30 points likely did like 33 points or something just went nuclear and then Jordan Mason's game and like it's just the dumbest win of all time so anyway s sorry Jeff Collins uh wherever you're at like you should have won you have the better team all right brutal anyway uh drink free Jeff but I'll also say this like Jordan M again I think Jordan Mason plays this week and there's a chance I may have locked into a top 10 running back uh because this is dragging off they're not they're not going to rush mcaffry back they don't need to the way that team is built and what their designs are this season they don't need to bring him back until he is 100% healthy another Back Field that we have our eyes on due to injuries and this one's a little bit more convoluted right now Raheem moer is out for Thursday Night Football that one we got before we sat down to record the show a lot of people reported that I I saw it from Barry Jackson you see it there on your screen there at sports buzz and he's he's covered the the Dolphins for years and years and years and years uh rahee oer at w play Thursday quote from Mike McDaniel Devon we will see how it plays out so I guess maybe there's a chance as I read this quote Conor that maybe a chance might miss this game as well it's the Thursday night game short week they play the bills they're home to the at least it's a home game they're home to the bills they play Jacksonville last week so they're staying in the State of Florida they're home to flor they're home uh to the bills but still short week uh uh against Buffalo division matchup I feel like if there's a chance that hen can go he will go right but how much you know what is the and this is what we talked about with Devon aan last year like we know what he could do but it's like the injuries and now it's popping up early so we'll see how it plays out but we could be looking at a Back Field that's led by Jeff Wilson in accompany by Jaylen Wright who was inactive last week so uh in terms of where my ranks sit today and they'll constantly be updated as we get more news but I I have H hanet running back five I'm still assuming that he is going to play against Buffalo play a lot I have Jeff Wilson at running back 36 I have Jaylen Wright at running back 44 but what I tweet it out was I don't think you can trust any non-han running back on uh on Thursday night against the bills again let's see how this backfield plays out uh and while we saw Jeff Wilson active last week we didn't see Jaylen Wright he was a healthy scratch to the rookie I actually advocated for picking up Jaylen Wright versus Jeff Wilson because I don't think you want to use either guy this Thursday and I just feel like Jaylen Wright has the more long-term upside on the Dolphins for this season than Jeff Wilson that that's why they traded a future third round pick to get back in to take him and that's the guy you know that we drafted in at the end of our fantasy drafts especially in Dynasty I don't think there's a league out there that drafted Jeff Wilson this season maybe last season definitely not this season if you're desperate and you have to start a non-han running back I'm my ranks are saying Wilson over o over uh Wright for this week based on whatever we information we have right now but I'm just saying if you're searching the waiver wire for a Dolphins running back that that isn't moster raan I'm advocating for Wright as I said not Wilson because I think Wright longterm will be the better pickup yeah and he's available in over 70% of Yahoo leagues as it stands right now that is going to change within the next 24 hours so jump on that one if you can sure and then actually I literally uh just got an alert here Devon hen practice in what appear to be a lighter walkthrough session watch him go through all running back drills and Reps including changing direction catching passes on his ankle no red jersey or clear visual limitations from media viewing and that is from Cameron wolf who uh you know does a good job covers the N Network NFL Network covers doph yeah he's he he yeah Cam's a good dude good want to hear uh on a Wednesday when the game is on Thursday you want to hear something like you don't want to hear like he's watching practice did not practice I'll also say this like so I you know I work with Cameron at uh at aspn we were both at ESPN Cameron is now obviously NFL Network he's a fantasy player Cam's a fantasy player so uh so he knows exactly what he's doing with this tweet he's a good follow for the Dolphins during the summer he angles some things from a fantasy perspective yeah it's nice to have that he's a good dude Cam's the best so all right a couple more injuries we're tracking here that's top one Kenneth Walker I mean we have to have our eyes on this because he's had AB abdominal injuries in the past shanet would be a massive play at Walkers down I would think Matthew for sure Allen Jordan Addison Jake Ferguson Russell Wilson were also tracking Russell Wilson more because some people might be in a bind and they're going to start Justin fields and also how it affects the rest of the Steelers offense but what let's get I want to get back to Walker before we talk about the Steelers here I mean what are we talking about upside wise with shanet if Walker down top 12 fantasy running back I just you know we think it's a good offense he would get the majority of the work um he already caught a touchdown like he's a good he's a true three yeah he's a he's a true three down back and so um yeah I mean shanet would be an easy top 12 running back if anything were to happen to him uh we'll see about Jake Ferguson and David and joku as well who's not on that list two guys that hope that we hope can go this Sunday we'll keep tracking those injuries on the way the Jordan Addison one his injury is interesting because he was banged up this summer as well in training camp Jaylen Naylor who's their third wide receiver and they like a lot he won the the wide receiver three job caught a touchdown already and so for deeper leagues I have Jaylen Naylor in a couple of deep leagues just kind of an interesting name if he's probably already gone in like a super deep league but just if Addison were to miss um uh you know the Vikings sort of you know they're playing San Francisco obviously not a great matchup but still Jaylen Naylor just a interesting deep deep n deep deep League name especially if Addison's going to miss more time and the thing with uh Russell Wilson here too just know that if Russell like the the offense changes I'm sorry the the usage for these receivers and running backs change depending on which quarterback it is Justin Fields ran 14 times in week one you're not you may get half of that if you're lucky from Russell Wilson Justin fields keep the top receiver fantasy Rel George pickings but with Wilson you got a better chance of those running backs catching passes out the b field completely agree all right dominate this NFL season with a Fantasy Life Plus
