0:00So, we're going to give you our quarterback, tight end, and DST rankings. Starting with quarterback, typically we have Josh Allen in the S
0:07tier by himself. And obviously, if you have Allen, you're still starting him every week regardless. He has an insane amount of rushing upside. He is just the
0:15best fantasy quarterback ever when it comes to the consistency. So, he is in your lineup. But, he is playing against the Minnesota Vikings. And against the
0:25Vikings, it's the worst matchup you could possibly ask for. The Vikings allow the least amount of points to opposing quarterbacks. So, he's in the
0:33same tier with Joe Burrow this week.
0:35Burrow's in a setup in which his game environment supposed to be super highscoring playing in Spain. I want to say it's definitely in Europe. The
0:44overunders over 50 points. Joe Burrow's coming off a performance where this man just dropped almost 40 back-to-back weeks where he's the quarterback one
0:53overall in fantasy football. Now moving to the A tier. These are your other muststart quarterbacks, but I don't see the same ceiling floor combo with them
1:03as you have with Allen and Burrow. Here with Caleb Williams, I am having to play against him this week. And I would say
1:11in general, it's a tough matchup. Like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 30th in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks.
1:20So maybe that makes you a little bit lower on Caleb. And I'll be honest, I'm playing against Caleb Williams this week. So, I would love for this Bucks
1:28defense to continue to be elite like they were last week with Michael Penn, like they were two weeks ago, blowing out the Carolina Panthers. But right
1:37now, markets do have the Chicago Bears as heavy favorites in this game. And the Bears project to score 27 points and are
1:45supposed to be one of the best offenses in the league.
1:48I would love for Caleb to disappoint, but he has just been so damn good. And in a game in which he had the toughest
1:57matchup ever against Seattle last week, he still put up respectable numbers.
2:01Now, Brock Party would be an S tier quarterback for us. Like the Ners, I believe, project to score the most amount of points in the NFL this week.
2:12The only holdup that I'm going to have is you have no Mike Evans, you have no Debo Samuel, you have no Deon
2:19Stribbling, you have no Ricky Pierol.
2:21Christian McAffrey did get in a limited practice on Thursday. So it sounds like CMC will play in this game and of course
2:29the Niners are going to ball regardless, but just with the lack of weapons, I can't be as excited about Pertie as I am
2:36with Joe Burrow who has Jamar Jason T.
2:38Higgins. Now, Patrick Mahomes is right back inside the top five. Um, back-to-back weeks, we had him pretty damn low, and that was because he had a
2:46tough match up against the Seattle Seahawks and then a tough matchup against Denver. But this past week, over 40 passing attempts, three passing
2:54touchdowns. And this week, it's a much better matchup where you get to play at home against the New York Jets. And the
3:00Kansas City Chiefs project to be one of the highest scoring offenses in the NFL.
3:04I have to play against Kenneth Walker myself this week and my matchup matters so damn much. If I win, it looks like
3:10I'll be a top two team in my league for three years straight, which mathematically shouldn't even be possible. So, I am hoping that a lot of
3:19the points from Mahomes and this Chief's offense um do not go through Kenneth Walker, but yeah, I think it's going to
3:26crush. Dak Prescott should crush as well. The overunder of the Cowboys Colts game is over 50. Obviously, the Colts are garbage, but the Dallas Cowboys have
3:36one of the worst defenses, if not the worst defense in the league. So, you actually should expect that the Indianapolis Colts are able to put
3:44points on the board, which again, it would hopefully mean Dak Prescott is throwing. We know he doesn't have a ton of rushing upside himself. And then the
3:53last quarterback in this tier is going to be Drake May. Now I have Drake May on my own fantasy team and he has been
4:01unbelievable over the past five weeks.
4:04He has been the QB1, QB1, QB3, QB2 and QB6.
4:10I mean I have loved what we have had from him and I would love for him to be scoring more points than like Burrow
4:17Caleb this week. It'd be beautiful. And I would say almost no matter what, you have to start them. But the Green Bay
4:24Packers have the 28th ranked defense for quarterbacks to go up against and again number one is great, number 28 very,
4:34very bad. So, if we look at that, plus combined with the fact that you do have the New England Patriots projected to
4:41score significantly fewer points than any other team that we have talked about so far, and you probably have no AJ Brown. You definitely have no Romeo
4:49Dobs. I I just don't like having Drake May in this setup against Green Bay.
4:55Now, moving over to our B tier, you could consider benching these names. You could consider benching Jared Goff if you think the Detroit Lions are going to
5:05be able to just run the ball over and over and over again and Miami is not going to be able to put points on the
5:10board. I would say more times than not, you should play golf though. Now going to Jaden Daniels, Jaden Daniels you
5:20could consider benching, but he is averaging what 20 fantasy points per game just like Goff. He has been solid this year as long as he has stayed
5:28healthy. And this is probably a spot in which the Commanders are forced to drop back a little bit more against the Los
5:35Angeles Rams in comparison to what we're used to. Now, our last quarterback is going to be Trevor Lawrence. The Jacksonville Jaguars project to score a
5:45lot of points in this game. Just the overall game environment may not be the best. If Baltimore can't put points on
5:52the board, it's just going to allow Jacksonville to run it over and over and over again. We did get official word
6:00that it sounds like you should have Bayel Tuten playing in this game. And again, when the Ravens are on their third string quarterback, the
6:10expectation should be that Lawrence is not going to see a ton of passing attempts. Now, moving over to our C tier, I would say these are guys
6:21that I would rather have on my bench, but you can consider starting with Matthew Stafford.
6:29He has seen a dramatic fall off with his pass attempts with no Devonte Adams.
6:36Like with Devonte Adams active against Denver, 55 pass attempts, 51 against Philly, 54 against Buffalo. Since then,
6:44we have seen it fall down to 33 29 and 25. This team's decimated with injuries with no Adams and with no Terren
6:53Ferguson. They're very clearly trying to just run the ball, play good defense, and win that way. Now, CJ Strad is in a
7:02game environment in which I don't love playing against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Chargers are 26th in points allowed to opposing quarterbacks
7:11this year, which the reason they are ranked so low is the Chargers can't put points up on the board. So, typically
7:18you just have teams that are playing them able to run the ball consistently.
7:23Now, Tyler Shuck is a quarterback that I am excited to see what happens if the Saints actually do end up getting their
7:32left tackle back. Plus, on top of this, obviously, Jordan Tyson plays. So, I think the Saints arrow is trending upwards. I don't love the matchup
7:42against Cleveland where the Browns are ranked 25th in points to opposing quarterbacks because ultimately they aren't really going to get into a ton of
7:50shootouts and they have a decent defense as well. Jordan Love is in a tougher spot this week than normal having to
7:57play in New England. Typically, we have seen the Packers project out to score like 24 25 points most weeks. This week,
8:05they're down at 21. And they are running the ball more often with Josh Jacobs in comparison to where they were at just as
8:12a super passy team back when they had Marshall Lloyd as the starter. Kurt Cousins, you can definitely look at my hesitation with Cousins is they are nine
8:24and a half point dogs. So, I know we said this last week and Cousins ended up balling. I mean, Cousins dropped 28
8:31fantasy points and was the QB2 in fantasy. Hell, I had to play against him. It was horrible. But out of every
8:37quarterback we have talked about so far, I think he is the only guy that potentially could get benched, so I want
8:44to be a little hesitant. And then Malik Willis as our last QB. Um, ultimately it's a great matchup against the Detroit
8:52Lions and you know that he could go out there and run the ball. So, you have some hope for Willis. Now, going over to
8:59tight end, I know it is incredibly aggressive for us to be ranking George KD at tight end one. He has not come
9:07close to Brock Bowers this season. He has not come close to Trey McBride. KD is averaging about 15 points per game in
9:14comparison to Bowers at 20.6. Here's the setup though. Last week when you did not have Mike Evans, George KD had 10
9:23targets a season high.
9:26This week they are playing against the Raiders. The Niners project to score the most points in the entire NFL. So honestly, I do think that George KD just
9:38straight up ends up crushing here. Brock Bowers obviously has been the best tight end in fantasy. Talent-wise, Mia is definitely the best tight end in the
9:47NFL. I mean, this man is a freaking beast. The holdup that I would have is playing in San Francisco, you are nine
9:54and a half point dogs, which again is a big reason why I'm going to give the edge to KD and a much better offense.
10:00And then Trey McBride down at tight end three. Of course, he is still an S tier tight end. You are still very excited to
10:06have him, but I'm a little concerned of what this looks like with no Jacobe Brassette. Plus, on top of this as well,
10:15you are having to go up against the Seattle Seahawks where right now the Arizona Cardinals project to be the second lowest scoring offense in the NFL
10:23this week. The only offense that projects to be worse is the Baltimore Ravens who obviously play tonight. But once Darnold's got ruled out, I thought
10:31we were going to see the odds swing way more in favor of the Arizona Cardinals.
10:35But if you're actually looking at this on Poly Market US, you can see the Seahawks were at an 85% chance of
10:41winning this game before the Darnold news. And then once the Darnold nudes drops, that drops down to a 78% chance, but they are still eight and a half
10:50point favorites, but the overunder is only 39 and a half points on this game.
10:54Now, obviously, if you want to check out any of these markets, you can find the link to the Poly Market app in the
10:59description comment section live chat.
11:00If you sign up with promo code Flock, you're going to get $25 out of your account after you deposit your first 10.
11:07Now, going to our A tier, there's going to be one tight end and one tight end only here. That is Coloulston Lovelin. I
11:14personally have to play against Lovelin this week. So, I would love for the Bucks to show up, but Lovelin has looked
11:21damn damn good over the past few weeks.
11:24Over the past five games now, this man's averaging about seven, eight, nine targets a game. And with no Cole KT, we
11:34saw this usage this past week jump up where Lovelin played 93% of the snaps.
11:39And it's a very good offense with Caleb Williams under center. So, I would love to be wrong. I would love for Coulson
11:47Lovelin to fall down significantly, but man, it looks like he is just gonna straight up crush. Now, going to the B
11:56tier, Travis Kelce is going to lead us off with Kelsey. I mean, it is funny. It seems like almost any other week he does
12:03get banged up, comes off the field, goes right back in the game. Um, I will say that looking at this past week, it was
12:09interesting to see even with Rasheed Rice back, Kelsey still had 67 receiving yards. I know he hasn't been phenomenal as of late because the touchdown hasn't
12:17been there, but still. Now going to Tucker Craft. Craft is really looking a lot better as of late. I mean, it maybe
12:29makes sense knowing that he just is getting further and further removed from that torn ACL and maybe he is just healthier. Back-to-back games with
12:37touchdowns. And since week three, this man very similar to Lovelins, averaging seven, eight targets a game. Then Isaiah likely will be our last tight end that
12:48we can discuss here. We did see a significant drop off with his overall volume against Houston with only four targets. Then you had the by-week, but
12:57the two prior weeks that we had Isaiah likely, he was the tight end one straight up in fantasy football. Now again, I don't know if JJ McCarthy
13:06continues to dominate. And this does project to be a very lowscoring game because ultimately you're not going to see the Philadelphia Eagles push the
13:16Giants to throw the ball a ton because this Eagles defense is garbage.
13:20Now going to our C tier, we will be let off with Tyler Warren. Now I am terrified of this Indianapolis Colts
13:29team and I am terrified of this Indianapolis Colts offense. The only saving grace that you have this week is going to be the fact that they're going
13:39up against the Dallas Cowboys. And while typically you have the Colts projected out as a bottom five offense in the NFL,
13:47the Colts project to actually score more points than the Packers. They project to score more points than the Raiders, more points
13:55than the Giants. They project to be an okay I mean pretty good offense this week. Again, nothing because of them, but just because the defense they're
14:04playing against is so bad. Now, Sam Leaporta going up against the Miami Dolphins. Leaporta has been pretty bad over the past two weeks, but I think
14:12you're in line for a big time Leaporta bounceback. Jameson Williams has been running really hot, stealing all the touchdowns here. And the Miami Dolphins
14:19allow the third most points to opposing tight ends. Plus, the Detroit Lions project to score a ton. And then the last tight end in this tier is going to
14:27be TJ Hawinson. Yeah. Let me see actually real quick. I am super interested to know. Did the odds of this
14:36game change when you got the news that you were going to have no Kyler Murray and you were going to be transitioning
14:43over to Carson Wentz? Generally, I think Kyler was actually a pretty good thing for Hawinson just because he looked to keep the ball close to the line of
14:50scrimmage and it's not like he was slinging it towards the boundaries with Justin Jefferson. But yeah, did that change anything? Um it looked like
14:59actually yeah the Vikings went from like a 36% chance of 38% chance. So people like the Vikings a little bit more with ws but
15:09again I don't know if that's going to be a spot in which I am super optimistic about Hawinson's usage because I think
15:17again Carson Wentz should be willing to push the ball towards the boundaries more than Kyler was. Now going to our Dtier. Harold Fannon looked really good
15:25this past week and over the past two weeks now, Harold Fannon's averaging over 10 targets a game. So, he was horrible at the beginning of the season
15:34and it looked like just the wide receivers were eating too much into his workload, but it's definitely much much better now. Then going over to Dalton
15:43Concincaid, I personally am starting Dalton Concade on my own fantasy team. I am praying that Concaid does something.
15:50I'm going to need him to. But the problem that we have will be the Minnesota Vikings allow the fewest amount of points to opposing tight ends
15:59in all of fantasy football. So, it's going to be a really tough matchup.
16:03Kyle Pittz is going to be in what should be a shootout here against these Cincinnati Bengals. This game has an overunder of like over 52 points. The
16:13problem with Pitts is just the overall target volume that he's had this year.
16:17Kyle Pittz is still sitting with a career low four targets per game. It's been better as of late, but it's still
16:23not super strong. Now, going to the E tier, Dallas Goddard is in a spot where you have another quarterback change here. I will say if we officially get
16:35Devont Smith as well as Dantavian Wixs ruled out, then Dallas Goddard's going to rise up to being a Dtier or even a
16:43Ctier level tight end. Right now, it looks like there's a good chance that Smith and Wixs aren't playing because both of them miss practice on Thursday.
16:53Now, moving over to Britain Strange. The problem you're going to have with Strange is playing against Baltimore here. Um, the Ravens aren't going to be
17:01able to force Jacksonville to throw the ball because they're not going to be able to put points on the board themselves. So,
17:08I think you have an overall limited amount of pass attempts you're going to get from Trevor Lawrence. And then Greg Dolich hasn't been great so far this
17:15season. But if he was ever going to show up as a streaming tight end, it would be this week because this week you get to
17:22go up against the worst defense in the NFL to opposing tight ends. Now our last desperation tier, Eli Raran potentially can be looked at with Hunter Henry most
17:34likely missing. Hunter Henry did not practice on Wednesday and did not practice on Thursday with his foot injury.
17:42Now, Michael Mayer you can potentially look at, but again, I would just say that he is more so a stash. If you were
17:49to get a Bowers injury, then all of a sudden, he's very easily a top five tight ends. Now, Chig, you can look at
17:55he had a great catch, but problem was you were expecting the target volume to go up significantly with no Terry McLaren, and that didn't really happen.
18:03Tyler Higgby, I started last week and he had two total targets. Like, it was absolutely disgusting. This team's just not throwing the ball much with no
18:11Devonte Adams and then Daltton Schulz you could potentially throw in there, but obviously the majority of the target volume that he had at the beginning of
18:18the year was just because Nico Collins was out. Now that Nico's back, the target volume is much worse. Now going over to our defenses, there are two very
18:26clear top defenses in fantasy football this week. That will be the Jacksonville Jaguars who are playing tonight. Uh the spread in this game's nine and a half
18:35points. The Baltimore Ravens project to score the fewest amount of points in the NFL. I will say personally uh I am
18:42terrified here. I have to play against the Jags defense and I'm expecting in the live stream if y'all don't know we
18:49live stream every Thursday night, Monday night, Sunday night game on the Flock League channel watching it together. But I'm expecting that I'm going to see the
18:56Jags DST run up a ton of points against me just because their opponents are so weak. Then with the Seattle Seahawks,
19:05it's just such a good spot playing against Jacobe Brassette, your eight and a half point favorites at home. And again, you have the Arizona Cardinals
19:13projected out to be the second lowest scoring offense in the league, only better than the Baltimore Ravens.
19:19Now, moving to the A tier, I'm going to be starting Houston myself this week.
19:27The Los Angeles Chargers have allowed the most points to opposing DSTs so far this season. Whether you want to blame Justin Herbert, the offensive line, the
19:36offensive coordinator, the head coach, I think a ton of people are at fault. It's not just one person for how bad Los
19:44Angeles is this year. This game is being played on the road by Houston, which I don't love. But the Texans are five and
19:51a half point favorites. And I will say, I know we talked about this previously, like the Texans next three weeks, they
19:57get to play against the Chargers, the Browns, and the Colts. So, they're a phenomenal defense to hold. I held them through their buy for that reason. Now,
20:07with the New York Giants, they are getting to play against Joe Milton in Philadelphia. I am making the ranking here under the assumption that you have
20:16no Devont Smith and you have no Dantavian Wixs as well. with the B tier.
20:21Kansas City nine and a half point favorites against the New York Jets.
20:25Sounds like Bree Hall's going to play.
20:27Garrett Wilson may potentially miss, but ultimately if you are this favorite against Gino Smith, good defensive play.
20:33Denver, great defense. They have Patrick Certain back. Bryce Young's been struggling. And then Chicago playing against Tampa. I know Tampa has been
20:42pretty good over the past two weeks, but um right now markets have this as a spot in which you should expect that
20:50the Bears are blowing out the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
20:55Now going to the C tier, the Ners coming out of their buy nine and a half point favorites against the Raiders and
21:02Cousins. The New England Patriots getting to play against the Green Bay Packers as three-point favorites. The Patriots are at home. The New Orleans
21:11Saints have a garbage defense, but they're coming off a buy and they get a great matchup at home against Cleveland.
21:16And then the Minnesota Vikings have arguably the best defense in the NFL.
21:21Definitely the best fantasy football defense in the NFL. And we know at the same time that Josh Allen is worthy to
21:28turn the ball over. If you have Minnesota's defense, you for sure start them. Don't worry about um ever looking at a different defense off the
21:36waiverwire because maybe they don't have the best matchup in the world this week, but you would never want to drop them
21:41because they are just a set it and forget at DST every week. Now moving to our Dtier, the Cincinnati Bengals playing a Europe game against the
21:48Atlanta Falcons where obviously Michael Pinnix just imploded. You have the Buffalo Bills who are technically favored by three points here against the
21:57backup quarterback with Carson Wentz.
21:59You have the Los Angeles Rams who get to play in Washington against Jaden Daniels. The Detroit Lions who are seven-point favorites. The Lions have a
22:08garbage garbage DST, but there is a nonzero% chance that the matchup's just too good against Miami. You got to play them. And then the last defense I would
22:17consider playing would be the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Just out of raw respect, they are scoring the second most points of any defense when it comes to points
22:26per game. But hell, they are six and a half million dogs here in Chicago. So, I think that their defense is probably going to fall
22:34back down to earth here quite dramatically this week. Now, I really hope I was able to help you out in some
