Summary:

Playoffs and Waivers 00:00

• Don’t forget to subscribe and enjoy the show.

“You need to not only care about who you’re picking up, but you need to care about who you’re blocking your opponent’s picking up.”

Thoughts on Monday Night Football Games 00:49

• The hosts enjoyed watching two simultaneous games.
• They liked the ability to watch both games on different screens.
• Although the football watching experience was great, Jason and Mike had different outcomes in their fantasy leagues.
• Andy had a successful night, making it into the playoffs.
• Jason, unfortunately, did not have as much luck in his leagues.

“I loved the simultaneous games…mostly because of YouTube…I had one on the big screen and then one on the iPad…I was the producer…but the actual watching of the football sucked.” “Andy and I are the example of the life of fantasy football because for every game has two people watching rooting for opposite things.”

• The podcast continues year-round, with 5 episodes a week during the regular season and 2 episodes a week plus additional content during the offseason.

Impact of Tyreek Hill‘s Injury 08:43

• The Dolphins struggled to move the football after Tyreek Hill got injured, highlighting his importance to the team’s offense.
• When Hill was in the game, the Dolphins performed well and scored points, but struggled when he was out.

“Tyreek Hill is the engine here. It’s not Mostert or Anan or Tua or Wadd. When they get to the end zone, it is Mostert and it was absurd watching like multiple drives of failure right next to the end zone.”

Tyreek Hill‘s Injury and Next Week’s Game 10:02

• Tyreek Hill suffered an ankle injury and was in a lot of pain, but still plans to play next week against the New York Jets.
• Hill’s injury status raises concerns about his performance and the impact on the Dolphins’ offense.

“I expect him to play, but it’s going to be tough. Next week, the Dolphins play the New York Jets.”

Tommy Cutlets’ Performance 11:56

• Tommy DeVito, also known as Tommy Cutlets, had an impressive performance, leading the New York Giants to a surprising win.
• DeVito’s connection with his mom and her home-cooked chicken cutlets was highlighted during an interview.

“He said he lives in his mom’s house, and she makes chicken cutlets every day.”

Saquon Barkley‘s Performance 12:40

• Saquon Barkley had a strong performance, scoring twice despite a fumble that could have been avoided.
• The Giants’ ability to move the football positively impacted Barkley’s performance.

“Saquon scored twice last night. He fumbled inexplicably, but it should have been a touchdown.”

Involvement of Jayden Reed 13:59

• Jaden Reed had a significant presence in the Giants’ offense, with four receptions for 38 yards.
• Reed’s involvement from the backfield was reminiscent of Curtis Samuel‘s role in the past.

“Jaden Reed was heavily involved, mainly out of the backfield. It was very much Curtis Samuel end-arounds.”

Disappointing Performance from Romeo Doubs 15:00

• Romeo Doss had a disappointing performance, with seven targets resulting in only four receptions for 32 yards.
• Jordan Love‘s performance was also underwhelming, suggesting that more time is needed to form a conclusion about his skills.

“Disappointing night from Romeo Doss, considering his opportunities. Jordan Love‘s performance also fell short of expectations.”

Injuries at Running Back 22:41

• Josh Jacobs injured during the game
• Fantasy managers who had Jacobs may need a replacement running back
• Other injuries include Alexander Madison and Isaiah Pacho
• Availability on waivers will determine options for replacement

“There are three injuries here that are going to create opportunities.”

Injury situation for Josh Jacobs and potential replacements 24:12

• Josh Jacobs was listed as a non-participant for Monday, so if he is out, the Raiders will need replacements.
• The available options are Zamir White and Amir Abdullah.
• White and Abdullah are not preferred options because of concerns about their talent and involvement in the passing game.
• White would be the more likely replacement if all three starting running backs are unavailable.
• The matchup against the Chargers is not ideal, but the game script could favor White if they rely heavily on the run.

“I’m not sure how talented Zamir White is…I would not expect big things from him…I think that he is better than a desperation player…an average to below-average type of play.”

Dallas matchup with Buffalo 30:51

• Rico D had 13 points in the last game and has been consistently scoring well in recent weeks.
• Rico D should be rostered in all leagues as he has the potential to score fantasy points.

“He’s not just strictly an insurance back that you can’t play, he’s got potential ways to score fantasy points.”

Wide receiver options 32:10

• Zay Jones is a top pick as he has been targeted heavily and has the lowest roster percentage among similar players.
• Odell Beckham Jr. is another good option, especially with a favorable matchup against Jacksonville.
• Noah Brown could have a big game if CJ Strout is active and throwing enough yards.

“I want to target the targets, my friend, and I think 10+ targets rest of the way for Z Jones.” “I would rather throw against Jacksonville secondary than Baltimore.” “Demarcus Robinson is as good as just about anyone out there.”

Demarcus Robinson‘s increased usage 34:30

• Demarcus Robinson has become more involved in the offense and has been targeted in high leverage situations.
• He had 10 targets and a touchdown in the last game and is rostered in zero leagues.

“He was super involved, I mean I know Hill with a touchdown, he only had three receptions but 10 targets, a touchdown, high value targets.”

Quentin Johnston and Dontayvion Wicks as potential pickups 35:32

• Quinton Johnston had three big plays in the last game and could surprise with his performance.
• Davian Wicks is worth considering if he is not injured and participating in practice.

“Quinton Johnson was three for 91 in the last game, so it’s possible.” “Davian Wicks is a guy that Mike has been talking up.”

Parker Washington, Robert Woods, and Curtis Samuel 36:50

• Parker Washington is a deep league option with a good snap percentage.
• Robert Woods is capable of a spot start, but his performance may not be great.
• Curtis Samuel is a top choice with a good target rate and consistent scoring.

“Parker Washington scored again, you interested in Parker Washington for Jacksonville.” “Robert Woods is spot-start capable for sure, it’s not going to be great honestly.” “We have Curtis Samuel, he’s doing his best Michael Pitman impression lately.”

Waiver selections and drops 37:54

• Week 7 through 13, Gabe Davis missed one game that the team won.
• Terry McLaurin, Gabe Davis, and Jordan Addison are potential drops.
• Consider the matchups and bench performances before making a decision.

“I’m very happy to drop Gabe Davis, and Addison McClaren’s the one that I would pause with.”

Considerations for Gabe Davis 38:34

• Gabe Davis has a favorable matchup against Dallas.
• However, if better options like Odell Beckham Jr. or Marvin Jones are available, they might be worth starting instead.

“I would certainly start Odell Beckham Jr. over Gabe Davis.”

Tight end options 40:42

• Isaiah Likely is the top option if available.
• Gerald Everett is rostered in over 50% of leagues, but Brevin Jordan is a viable option.
• Davis Allen, Rams’ rookie tight end, is worth considering.

“Robinson looks like a very capable backup.”

• Detroit’s defense is struggling, ranking 31st in schedule-adjusted points allowed against quarterbacks.

• Joe Flacco is also worth considering if Stafford is not available.

“I like having players on teams that are fighting for something meaningful.”

Chicago Bears Defense 46:18

• It’s unclear if the Bears’ defense is fixed or if it was due to the competition they faced in shutting down quarterbacks.
• Recent shutouts against Jared Goff, Bryce Young, and Josh Das raise questions about the Bears’ defense.
• Chicago’s game against Cleveland has the potential to be low-scoring and frustrating.

“I don’t know if Chicago does a lot of work against the Cleveland defense.”

Other Quarterback Streamers 46:09

• Jake Browning could be a gamble, but his weapons might deliver results.
• Desmond Ridder had a strong performance last week and could be a decent option against Carolina.
• Drew Lock is another option, but it’s uncertain if he will start or if Gino Smith will be the starter.

“Bet on those weapons against the Philadelphia Eagles who just get torched by everybody.”

Fantasy Footballers’ Lineups 48:22

• The hosts discuss their lineups and how they performed.
• The Nasty Boys, including Mike Evans, saved one of the hosts from the Shame.
