DJ Moore‘s value and matchup 17:46

• DJ Moore is the primary target for the Carolina Panthers.
• Despite being targeted heavily when Bilbo entered the game, DJ Moore‘s fantasy value remains solid.
• The Raiders defense has improved in recent weeks, so pay attention to this matchup.

“So I look, let’s start it off right away. Are you turning back to DJ more? And the match up, you know, it’s not the worst. DJ more is not like, you got to get them in your lineups, but I would rather play him than the Palmer’s or Christian Kirk with better Craig Reynolds. DJ more was.”

Craig Reynolds and Jahmyr Gibbs injury updates 18:49

• Craig Reynolds is dealing with a hamstring injury and did not practice.
• Jameer Gibbs was expected to return but pay attention to updates throughout the week.

“Craig Reynolds should have was banged up in practice. And Jameer Gibbs was supposed to be back. So, I mean, I don’t think it’s funny because, you know, on Tuesday and this, this happens, you gave this perfect example earlier, how last week Mike emptied his fab getting DeMarcato and by the end of the week, when games needed to be played, you benched him.”

Evaluating tight end Cole Kmet 19:42

• Cole Kmet had a down game last week and is unreliable for fantasy purposes.
• Look for other options at tight end.

“That’s Colquemette. You know, we had the down game last week, which is look, welcome to tight ends that break out. They don’t really break out. They just break through for a couple of weeks and I wouldn’t trust him.”

Running back situation for the Las Vegas Raiders 20:07

• Josh Jacobs is currently leading the NFL in opportunities per game.
• He should be a strong start this week.
• Pay attention to updates on his availability.

“Josh Jacobs is number one in the NFL in opportunities per game right now. So Josh Jacobs is getting all of the workload and that matters.”

Outlook on Davante Adams and Jakobi Meyers 22:55

• Devante Adams had a monster game but has had two down weeks.
• He should still be started with confidence.
• Jacobi Myers has been performing well and is a reliable option.

“And then Devonte Adams, you know, dealt with the shoulder injury, had the monster game and then two down weeks, not worried about him, put him back out there. You know, there is the off chance that he would get moved before the trade deadline in two weeks. But because this team is probably going to win this game, they’ll be sitting at four and three. I doubt it happens. Jacobi Myers has been great.”

Evaluating Jonathan Taylor and Zach Moss 27:22

• Jonathan Taylor is expected to lead the running back position, but his workload is not yet at a dominant level.
• The matchup against the Browns’ defense makes it likely that Taylor and Moss will have limited success.

“I believe Taylor has taken over the leading role, but it is not yet a situation where he’s at 75%.” “The matchup is brutal. I’m playing Taylor this week and if I can get out of it, I’m trying not to play Moss.”

Starting Zack Moss against the Browns 28:29

• Zach Moss has been performing well and has been consistently relevant in fantasy football.
• Despite this, his workload may decrease to around 40% and he will face a tough defense.

Evaluating Josh Allen against the Patriots 31:54

• The Patriots’ defense has been successful in limiting quarterbacks’ fantasy production this season.
• However, Josh Allen has a history of performing well against the Patriots, making him a must-start.

“No matter what, you’re not benching Allen.” “The last five times he’s played New England, [Allen] had three touchdowns, two, three, one, four.”

Rhamondre Stevenson‘s viability 30:57

• Ramon Drey Stevenson has been performing well and is expected to continue his success against the Bills’ defense.

James Cook‘s role with the Patriots 32:51

• Despite his impressive stats, James Cook has seen a decrease in playing time and has not been targeted in recent games.
• However, in a potential blowout game, he may see increased opportunities alongside Latavius Murray.

“James Cook is averaging more yards from scrimmage per touch than Bijon Robinson.” “The game script could end up being out of hand and Damien Harris is not a factor this week.”

Tampa Bay’s Disappointing Offense 39:43

• Baker struggled to get the ball to Evans and Godwin.
• Godwin has historically performed well against the Falcons.
• Rashad White has caught a high percentage of his targets but hasn’t turned them into yards.

Washington vs. New York Matchup Analysis 35:16

• Sam Howell may be the streaming quarterback for Washington, as it’s uncertain if Daniel Jones will play.

Curious Case of Jahan Dotson as a Holder 37:00

• John Dotson has been seen taking reps as a holder at practice.
• The hosts find it odd and question the strategy behind it.

Jordan Love as Start of the Week 41:31

• Jordan Love has been a top 12 quarterback in three out of five weeks.
• He plays the Denver Broncos, whose defense has not been performing well.
• Love gets back Aaron Jones as a passing game weapon.

“Trying to find another name with a matchup, with an opportunity, I reluctantly selected Jordan Love.”

Geno Smith a capable starter 49:17

• Geno Smith is considered a capable starter for fantasy football.
• He has a favorable matchup, with the Cardinals ranked 31st in schedule.
• The Cardinals fantasy points given up to quarterbacks might be even worse if not for dropped touchdowns.

“If you picked him up, I think he’s a capable starter. He’s got more than a touchdown favorite line at home, third highest team applied total. The Cardinals ranked 31st in schedule, Justin fantasy points given up two quarterbacks might be 32nd if people weren’t dropping touchdowns against them last week.”

Russell Wilson a top 12 quarterback 49:52

• Russell Wilson is currently ranked as a top 12 quarterback in fantasy football.
• The matchup against the Green Bay Packers is favorable, as they have a weak defense.
• The game has a high total score projection and Wilson performs well against zone coverage.

“Steel underpants. Here we go, baby. Russell Wilson against the Green Bay Packers. It sounds nasty. Russell Wilson is a top 12 quarterback on the season right now. The Broncos are one in five. It is not all Russ’s fault. The matchup is one that we can attack against the green Bay Packers. It is one of three games currently with a total of 45 or above and then diving deeper into the metrics. This one shout out to Kyle Russ ranks number one among all quarterbacks in fantasy points per drop back against zone coverage. The Packers run zone. At least they have 80% of the time. This is a matchup that I think that Russ finishes the week as a top 10 quarterback. And if you have the intestinal fortitude and the underpants and the underpants to protect yourself, it makes sense.”

Aaron Jones a must-start 50:44

• Aaron Jones is recommended as a must-start running back in fantasy football.
• He is returning from injury and expected to make a significant impact.
• The Denver Broncos defense is weak against running backs, allowing 172 yards per game.

“Well, I’m going to double down real quick here with the Packers and that Denver matchup, which is all we’ve talked about so far on the majority of the starts of the week. But I think people need to hear it. Aaron Jones is going to be back and he needs to be in your lineup. I truly believe that. I think it has not been a fun ride dealing with the hamstring, the re-aggravation, the lack of opportunity. And this is a terrible, terrible Bronco defense that has been especially bad to running backs. I think we have all watched the Green Bay Packers and said to ourselves every play, oh my gosh, they need Aaron Jones so bad. And he’s going to be back out there. He is ready to contribute. They give up 172 yards a game to running backs. And I think you have to jam them back into your lineup this week.”

Jerome Ford a solid play 51:32

• Jerome Ford is recommended as a solid play for fantasy football.
• He has been consistently performing well, with three top 24 finishes in five weeks.
• The Colts have a weak defense against running backs.

“For me, my running back start of the week is Jerome Ford. Ford tough. We talked about it. For Bill Ford tough. Jerome Ford has been pretty good. Like, you know, he’s been a top 24 running back three of his five weeks. Obviously, the first week didn’t even really count with Nick Chubb there. And he’s averaging 14 and a half fantasy points per game. The Colts, they’re 23rd and schedule just a fantasy points allowed to running backs. This is the type of player that I think is just a really solid play. He’s going to get enough carries to have, you know, opportunity you can rely on. They’re favored. They should score a rushing touchdown. And you’ve got the current thigh injury to cream hunt. So Jerome Ford, he’s wheels up for me.”

Michael Mayer as a Start of the Week 57:19

• Mayer has had one catch for three yards in Week 1, one catch for two yards in Week 2, and three catches for seven yards in Week 3, totaling only 12 yards in three games.
