Player insights

47

Adonai Mitchell

PositiveRole20:34

With Garrett Wilson ruled out, Mitchell is now a start given increased target opportunity; he and Omar Cooper will see more targets funneled to them in a strong matchup against Detroit Lions.

Insight page

Alvin Kamara

PositiveRole25:23

Alvin Kamara will continue splitting carries with Kendre Miller but is the source's favorite for receptions and touchdowns, which represent the high-volume or high-value touches in the offense.

Insight page

Antonio Williams

PositiveRole23:15

Safe bet for targets after leading the Commanders in targets last week; with Terry McLaurin and Trayon Burks both out, he should see increased opportunity and volume in the passing game.

Insight page

Breece Hall

NegativeRole21:20

Breece Hall and Brilen Allen are expected to split the backfield in a matchup where the New York Jets are 9.5-point underdogs going to play in Kansas City. The source questions how excited you should be with this setup.

Insight page

Chase Brown

PositiveProjection5:37

Ranked crazy high despite poor individual game performance; has not had a single game with over 20 fantasy points and may disappoint those who drafted him in round one or two, but he is averaging over 19 opportunities per game with significant receiving work in an elite offense against the Atlanta Falcons; volume and offensive quality trump individual performance concerns.

Insight page

Christian Watson

PositiveInjury3:47

Off the injury report and should be 100% good to go; known for his toughness and willingness to play through injury; plays against New England Patriots in a poor matchup for the Packers offense.

Insight page

Colston Loveland

PositiveProjection11:31

Projected to crush this week; Chicago Bears project to put up a ton of points against Tampa Bay Buccaneers; has seen a lot of target volume since Kolkat was removed from the offense; the source is playing against Loveland and very much hoping to be wrong about his upside.

Insight page

Corey Coleman

PositiveRole9:09

Coleman is positioned as the full-blown future back for Denver Broncos with receiver usage; he just sent JK Dobbins straight to the bench in the second half last week, signaling a clear depth chart shift and expanded role.

Insight page

D.J. Moore

NegativeMatchup17:48

Moore faces a tough matchup against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 9, which naturally warrants a lower ranking. However, with Terry McLaurin out and Trayon Bergs ruled out, the source suggests you can be more optimistic about Moore's matchup prospects; he also shed the non-contact jersey at practice, which could support slightly more optimism about his availability and performance.

Insight page

Dallas Goedert

NegativeRole21:48

Goddert is now playing with Joe Milton at QB, and Eli Stets being active could take away some targets from him.

Insight page

Demario Douglas

PositiveProjection23:47

Can run it back this week; will get M. Holland back, adding target competition, but with Hunter Henry banged up and AJ Brown already ruled out, Deario Douglas is going to be viable and should see elevated target share.

Insight page

Denzel Boston

NegativeRole23:28

Denzel Boston may be the third pass catcher for the Cleveland Browns, though there is uncertainty about his role; the source notes the offense has an incredibly low floor with the recent quarterback change to Joe Milton, making him a high-risk dart.

Insight page

Devin Singletary

PositiveRole16:41

With Cam Sabathia ruled doubtful (likely to miss Week 9) and Tyrone Tracy on IR, Singletary will receive a raw amount of targets and carries from the Giants backfield; the Giants are favored against Philadelphia (an offense that projects as one of the worst in the league), supporting a run-heavy game script.

Insight page

George Kittle

PositiveRole0:43

Ranked extremely high due to massive receiver injuries on the 49ers: no Mike Evans, Christian Kirk, Debo Samuel, Deshan Stribbling, or Ricky Pearsall available; Brandon Aiyuk is trying to get reinstated. Kittle will dominate as the true top target for San Francisco.

Insight page

George Pickens

NegativeInjury10:13

Legitimately questionable for this game with a very realistic chance of missing; while Pickins has been questionable frequently over the past month, this is the first time the source believes there's a genuine risk of him sitting out; if he plays, he must be started given the high game environment (51.5-52 point over/under in a dome).

Insight page

Harold Fannin

NegativeRole21:34

Fannon is expected to play after practicing Friday, but he is likely the third target in the Cleveland Browns offense in what should be a low-scoring game environment.

Insight page

Hunter Henry

NegativeRole27:16

The source ranks Rarin under the assumption that Rarin has no Hunter Henry available, suggesting Henry's absence or unavailability is a key constraint in the ranking decision.

Insight page

Isaiah Likely

NegativeProjection13:38

Had top-tier target volume among NFL tight ends before the bye week despite a big letdown in that singular week; faces a tough game environment playing at Philadelphia where the Eagles project to have a very difficult time putting points on the board, which will limit passing attempts and opportunity.

Insight page

J.K. Dobbins

NegativeDepth Chart9:09

Dobbins was benched in the second half last week, signaling a concerning depth chart demotion; the source expresses low expectations for his fantasy outlook going forward, though hopes he can prove otherwise.

Insight page

Jadarian Price

NegativeProjection24:00

In Flock Fantasy's second flex spot; Seahawks are 8.5-point favorites in a very good matchup against Arizona Cardinals, but Quinton Nelson's injury and surgery is a concern for the offensive line, limiting upside despite the favorable game script.

Insight page

Jalen Coker

PositiveUsage13:13

Must-start despite disappointing performance last week when Bryce Young looked very bad; trending in the wrong direction in terms of target volume; was saved by a touchdown at the end of last game, suggesting TD-dependent profile going forward.

Insight page

Jonah Coleman

PositiveRole9:00

Strong play recommendation with great matchup against Carolina Panthers; with RJ Harvey on IR, Coleman receives all receiver work; recently benched JK Dobbins in second half of prior game, establishing Coleman as the full-blown future back for Denver Broncos; the source expresses high conviction.

Insight page

Jonathan Taylor

NegativeProjection7:56

Ranking complicated by trade rumors; without trade uncertainty, would be S-tier RB in elite matchup against Dallas Cowboys (worst defense in NFL); Indianapolis Colts project 23 points at home, more than Tampa Bay, New York Giants, or New Orleans Saints; however, Colts may limit Taylor's volume (20+ opportunities) to avoid injury risk given potential trade deadline activity; recommendation is to start based on matchup but with slightly lessened expectations.

Insight page

Jordyn Tyson

NegativeInjury2:11

Sounds like he probably won't play this week; even if he does play, the source does not recommend starting him. The source was hoping Tyson would return this week and has been rostering him, but latest reports from New Orleans suggest he probably will not play.

Insight page

Josh Jacobs

PositiveRole4:50

Auto-start recommendation based on elite volume profile; will receive ridiculous amount of volume, draw targets, and get goal-line opportunities despite unfavorable matchup against New England Patriots with Green Bay as three-point dogs; appearance and efficiency metrics are secondary to guaranteed offensive volume and target opportunity.

Insight page

Justin Jefferson

PositiveMatchup0:24

Gets Carson Wentz under center this week; the market liked the transition from Kyler Murray to Wentz, with the Vikings offense projected to be slightly better with that change.

Insight page

Kyle Pitts

PositiveProjection24:04

Has looked good over the past four games with four touchdowns, but is averaging only four targets per game this season, which is the lowest mark in his entire NFL career. Flock Fantasy cautions against being overly optimistic given the low target volume despite recent TD production.

Insight page

Malik Nabers

PositiveInjury2:31

Missed practice early in the week but got in a full practice on Friday and is completely off the injury report; expected to continue crushing.

Insight page

Matthew Golden

NegativeUsage3:56

Averaging more targets per game than Christian Watson; lacks the toughness and dog levels that Watson displays.

Insight page

Michael Wilson

NegativeInjury12:36

Fully removed from the injury report for Arizona Cardinals, which is bullish for health status; however, faces a very tough matchup in Seattle where Arizona projects to score the second fewest points in the NFL this week; QB Gardner Minshew is a concern as the source is not a believer in his ability to elevate receivers.

Insight page

Nico Collins

NegativeUsage5:13

Target volume has lessened compared to earlier expectations; faces increased target competition with Marvin Harrison now in the offense; has only one game with double-digit targets this season but remains clearly the wide receiver one; CJ Stroud looks better.

Insight page

Ollie Gordon II

NegativeRole15:15

Touchdown-dependent running back with minimal receiving production (14 receiving yards in five games as the lead back in Miami); the source recommends starting him only against weak defenses, and the Detroit Lions defense qualifies as one of the worst in the league, making this a favorable matchup for TD upside.

Insight page

Omar Cooper Jr.

PositiveRole22:57

After scoring zero last week, Omar Cooper is ranked much higher this week due to Garrett Wilson being ruled out. He is now a safe bet for targets in the Jets offense.

Insight page

Rashee Rice

PositiveRole6:04

Positioned in one of the higher-scoring projected offenses (Kansas City Chiefs as 9.5-point favorites); very few pass catchers in the offense create concentrated opportunity; Andy Reid explicitly stated there will be even fewer limitations on Rasheed Rice this week compared to prior week, supporting upside projection.

Insight page

Rhamondre Stevenson

PositiveRole6:50

Needs to be a riser following Trevian Henderson's departure from the Patriots offense; now the primary back alongside Cory Ker; will see a ton of volume despite not being a super explosive player; benefits from a good offense and significant receiving work with limited competition in New England.

Insight page

Ryan Flournoy

NegativeMatchup27:22

The source advises against starting Ryan Flournoy in Week 9 if avoidable, indicating a weak matchup or limited role for the week.

Insight page

Sam LaPorta

NegativeProjection20:33

Leaporta is a start, but the source has hesitation because he hasn't looked great over the past two weeks. Additionally, the matchup against the Detroit Lions suggests the Lions won't be forced to throw much with Rashad White in the backfield, capping his ceiling.

Insight page

Saquon Barkley

NegativeUsage15:48

Off the injury report and expected to play, but snap share has been inconsistent (15% in Week 7, 32% in Week 8), making exact volume projection difficult; matchup against New York Giants at home is a revenge game, but Joe Milton at quarterback may limit checkdown opportunities, and the Eagles offense projects as one of the worst in the league.

Insight page

Stefon Diggs

PositiveRole17:56

With Terry McLaurin out and Trayon Bergs ruled out, Diggs becomes at minimum an interesting start in Week 9, inheriting increased target volume in the Washington offense. The source recommends jamming him in with the knowledge of these absences.

Insight page

Tee Higgins

PositiveProjection1:57

Has been absolutely balling, averaging almost 20 fantasy points per game; playing in a game with an over/under of over 50 points.

Insight page

Travis Etienne

NegativeInjury25:16

Not expected back this week; Flock Fantasy indicates he won't be returning for a little bit of time, keeping him sidelined for fantasy purposes.

Insight page

Travis Kelce

PositiveProjection18:17

Kelce is an interesting start at tight end, averaging almost 12 fantasy points per game; the Kansas City Chiefs project to be one of the best offenses in the NFL this week. Flex is maybe a little less enticing than tight end for Kelce.

Insight page

Tre Tucker

NegativeProjection25:37

Trey Tucker scored zero fantasy points last week but should be viewed as a boom-bust wide receiver with a very high ceiling.

Insight page

Trey McBride

PositiveProjection3:21

Averaging almost 20 fantasy points per game this season; despite playing in the second-worst projected offense in the NFL this week (only Baltimore Ravens with third-string QB worse), he remains an absolute dominant target.

Insight page

Tucker Kraft

PositiveRole18:34

Craft has gotten better as time has gone on, removing one more week from his torn ACL recovery; he is progressing week-to-week in his return, suggesting increasing involvement in the Cleveland Browns offense.

Insight page

Tyler Allgeier

NegativeMatchup17:21

Ranked lower this week despite strong production last week because the Arizona Cardinals project as a horrible offense facing the toughest possible matchup: the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.

Insight page

Xavier Worthy

NegativeMatchup27:22

The source explicitly advises against starting Xavier Worthy in Week 9 if alternatives are available, indicating a poor matchup or role situation for the week.

0:00So the obvious starts will be Gibbs, McAffrey, Puka, JSN, CD Lamb, Bejan, Kenneth Walker, Jamar Chase, Amanra, Brock Bowers, Javvante, Kairen, James
0:09Cook, Justin Jefferson, Chu Bubard, Deandre Swift, Drake London, and George KD. The only interesting notes here among the 20 top players or so will be
0:17that Aman Ros technically is listed as questionable. He has been practicing in a limited fashion due to his rib injury.
0:24The other interesting note is going to be Justin Jefferson who gets Carson Wentz under center, but actually the market liked the change from Kyler
0:33Murray to Carson Wentz. The Vikings offense projected out to be a little bit better with that transition. And then lastly, George KD is crazy high because
0:43you have no Mike Evans, you have no Christian Kirk, you have no Debo Samuel, you have no Deshawn Stribbling. Hell, you have no Ricky Pierall. Everybody is
0:52out here for the San Francisco 49ers to the point where I mean the latest that of Niners fans have to look forward to
1:02is Brandon Iayuk at the facility trying to get reinstated in the NFL. It is very ugly. That's going to mean that George
1:10KD is going to dominate as a true top target here for this San Fran team. Now moving over to our B tier. These are
1:17also players that are in your starting lineup. Obviously, we have T. Higgins, who has been absolutely balling, averaging almost 20 fantasy points per
1:26game, and the overunder of this contest is over 50 points. We have Chris Lave.
1:31Now, I was really hoping that Jordan Tyson would be back this week. I've been rostering Jordan Tyson on my team and I
1:38am so damn excited to see him. But the latest that we got out of New Orleans, it made it sound like Jordan Tyson's
1:45probably not going to play. So, wheels up for a lav continued to crush. Malik Neighbor is going to continue to crush.
1:51He did miss practice early in the week, but he got in a full practice on Friday and he is completely off the injury
1:58report. So, Neighbors AOK-OK okay 100%.
2:01It is a super lowscoring game environment, which will be the only negative thing. Trey McBride projects to be in the second worst offense in the
2:09NFL this week. The only offense that had worse projections was actually the Baltimore Ravens with a third string starting quarterback. So, it may be very
2:19ugly where you have to play in Seattle, but nonetheless, Trey McBride is an absolute dominant target for us, averaging almost 20 fantasy points a
2:27game this season. We'll have Christian Watson and Matthew Golden here back to back. It isn't the best game environment that you have going to play against the
2:36New England Patriots in New England.
2:39Obviously, this matchup isn't great, and we have the Green Bay Packers projected out to not score many points. like they're supposed to be a worse offense
2:47than most teams that we have talked about so far this week. Matthew Golden is the guy that's averaging more targets per game, but I will say that he doesn't
2:56have the dog levels that Christian Watson does. Watson break his leg, he's going right back into the game. It doesn't matter. Got to respect the man
3:04for that. And then I will say, side note, jokes aside, Christian Watson off the injury report, he should be 100% a-ok. Okay, good to go. Now looking at
3:13Nico Collins, the target volume's a little bit lessened for Nico in comparison to what you maybe thought it was. Obviously, you have a little more
3:21target competition here as well. Now that you have a real wide receiver, two like Marvin Harrison, but um it doesn't really matter. Yeah, he's only had one
3:31game with double digit targets this season. He's still very clearly the wide receiver one. And CJ Strad looks better.
3:37Now, Chase Brown, I'm going to continue to rank crazy high. Yes, Chase Brown sucked. Yes, Chase Brown doesn't have a single game with over 20 fantasy points.
3:46If you took this guy in round one or round two of your fantasy draft, you probably hate him, and I completely
3:51understand that. But he's averaging over 19 opportunities a game. He's getting a ton of receiving work. His offense is elite, and it's a very good matchup
4:00playing against the Atlanta Falcons. So, honestly, doesn't really matter too much if you want to say that Chase Brown's horrible, blah, blah, blah. because when
4:10you have this volume in this kind of offense, the man is phenomenal. Now, looking at Raadre Stevenson, Raadre obviously needs to be a riser
4:21just given what we have when it comes to the departure of Trevian Henderson from this offense. It's Remadre Stevenson, Cory Ker. That is absolutely it. So
4:33based on the raw amount of volume that Remandre Stevenson's going to see, it doesn't matter if he's not a super explosive player at this point of his
4:41career, doesn't matter if he doesn't look that good when he touches the football. It is a good offense. He's going to see a ton of volume, especially
4:50as a receiver as well, because you have nobody else here in New England. Now, moving to Josh Jacobs. Josh Jacobs very
4:58similar to her Stevenson. It doesn't matter what you think he looks like, he is just going to get a ridiculous amount
5:04of volume. He's going to draw targets.
5:06He's going to get the goal line opportunities. So Josh Jacobs is somebody that is an auto jam. Again, don't like the matchup or the setup that
5:14much here against the New England Patriots where you do have the Green Bay Packers as three-point dogs. Now, moving over to our C tier, let's look at Luther
5:24Burton as somebody who's been so much better over the past three weeks. Over the past three weeks, Luther Burton has had a touchdown in two games, and he is
5:34averaging almost 20 fantasy points per contest. Now, obviously, a lot of this has to do with the fact that the offense
5:41is much better with Caleb Williams than without Caleb Williams. I don't think that should be too much of a surprise.
5:47Now, maybe you get a little nervous about this Tampa Bay Buccaneers defense on paper, but honestly, I don't think you should stress too too much because
5:56you do have the Chicago Bears as 6 and a half point favorites. So, um right now the Bears project to score 27 points.
6:04Looks like they're not going to have any troubles at all moving the ball down the field. Rasheed Rice is also in an
6:10offense that projects to be one of the higher scoring offenses in the NFL. You have the Kansas City Chiefs as nine and
6:16a half point favorites. Obviously, there are very, very few pass catchers in this offense and we had Andy Reid coming out
6:24saying that there are going to be even fewer limitations on Rashi Rice this week in comparison to what there were last week. So, I think you move Rice up
6:32even more. Looking at Bucky Irving, I think this is going to be a much tougher setup for Bucky on Sunday night in
6:40comparison to what he's had over the past few weeks. Like if you look at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers blowing out the
6:46Carolina Panthers two weeks ago, going out there and blowing out the Atlanta Falcons and the Hurricane last week, like they were able to just run the ball
6:56over and over and over again to the point where Baker Mayfield had legit zero completions.
7:02That's not going to be the case. I know we talked about this with Luther Burton.
7:05The Chicago Bears right now markets are pricing them in that they are just going to straight up stomp on the Tampa Bay
7:12Buccaneers. The Bears have a 72% chance of winning this game. Again, spread on this is 6 1/2. The overunder is 47 and a
7:21half. So, the Buccaneers project to actually have to throw the ball a lot more in this one than what you've seen
7:26over the past two. I think you get some natural regression. Now, obviously, if you want to check out any of these
7:31markets, you can find the link to Poly Market US in the description, in the comment section in the chat. If you sign
7:38up with promo code flock, you'll get $25 added to your account after you deposit your first 10. And Polymark US is
7:44available in every state outside of Nevada. Now, let's go over to Jonathan Taylor. Jonathan Taylor is an impossible ranking because if there were no trade
7:56rumors for JT, if Jonathan Taylor was just playing his 100% normal role, Jonathan Taylor would be an S tier level running back in what is a very good
8:07matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. We know the Dallas Cowboys have the worst defense in the NFL to the point that this week the Indianapolis Colts, they
8:17project to score 23 points, which is actually more than what you have with like the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, more than what you have with the New York Giants,
8:25more than what you have with the New Orleans Saints. So, this offense is not going to struggle to put points on the
8:30board at home against the worst defense in the NFL. Of course, the Indianapolis Colts are garbage. And of course, they're doing anything that they can to
8:37try to sell JT. And if I were them, I definitely would not be risking an injury to Jonathan Taylor by giving him
8:4520 plus opportunities in this game. So, I don't know what to expect. I would say that you have to start him for sure
8:51based on matchup, but I would probably just have slightly lessened expectations.
8:56Now, going to Jonah Coleman. I'm having a play against Jonah Coleman this week, and honestly, I am terrified. Uh, it's a
9:02great matchup that he has against the Carolina Panthers. And at the same time, when you have RJ Harvey on the IR, Jonah
9:09Coleman's going to get everything as a receiver. Plus, hell, he just sent JK Dobbins straight up to the bench in the second half this
9:18past week. So, I think Coleman's the full-blown future back here for the Denver Broncos. I really hope I'm wrong.
9:25I really hope JK Dobbins proves that he has something left in the tank, but I don't have super high expectations for
9:32that. And then with Ashton Genty, I would say that you have to start him. I understand that he sucked this past
9:40week. He got benched, only had two carries. Mike Washington had everything, but he is still yet to have fewer than 10 fantasy points in a single game. And
9:51you most likely see this as a little bit more of a split between Mike Washington and Ashen Genty this week with how bad
9:58Mike Washington looked a week ago. Now going to Tedo McMillan, it is a tough matchup on paper going up against the
10:04Denver Broncos. Bryce Young's looked pretty damn bad over the past few weeks, but I still personally believe that Ted McMillan is an incredible talent and an
10:13incredible player. Then the last guy in this tier is going to be George Pickins.
10:17Now, it sounds like George Pickins is legitimately questionable for this game.
10:22Like, Pickkins has been questionable for what it's felt like every game over the past month, and I've never thought that there was a chance that he was going to
10:29miss. Well, it sounds like in this one there is a very realistic chance that he does end up sitting out. Again, this
10:36game's going to be played in Indianapolis, though, in the dome. Has a super high overunder of like I want to say 51 and a half, 52 points. So
10:45assuming that Pickkins does play, he is needing to be started, but we just have to wait to get the confirmation. Now,
10:53moving over to our Dtier, I would still say this is the range where you got to start these guys. You have to start
10:58Quinn Sean Judkins. Y'all know I'm not a big Judkins guy. every single time he has a game with multiple touchdowns, we
11:04immediately throw him on the sell high video because he is a touchdown or bust running back that's not going to get
11:09used as a receiver. When you have Don Samson good to go um in a very bad offense, but the New Orleans Saints have
11:17allowed the most points in the NFL to opposing running backs so far this season. So, the matchup is too good for
11:23Judkins. We're going to assume that he has a very, very good setup here. Now, going to Coloulston Lovelin. I have to
11:31play against Loveland this week. So, I am very much hoping that I am wrong. But the Chicago Bears project to put up a
11:38ton of points here against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. And we've had a lot of target volume for Lovelin ever since you've had uh Kolkat removed from this
11:48offense. So, I think Lovelin's going to crush. I am very nervous having to play against him. I hope I'm wrong. I hope he
11:55disappoints. Now, Jameson Williams has been incredible over the past four weeks. He's had like five touchdowns in the past four games, or maybe he's had
12:04four touchdowns in the past three. He is running incredibly hot on touchdowns so far this season. I think his touchdown rates at about 12%. You should naturally
12:11expect that to slide down a bit here.
12:14Um, it is a matchup against the Miami Dolphins in which if there was ever going to be a team the Detroit Lions
12:20defense could slow down and it wouldn't turn into a shootout at the end of the game, it would be this one against
12:26Miami. Now, Amanra St. Brown being questionable. If St. Brown misses, Jameson Williams moves up so much higher. Now with Michael Wilson, Michael
12:36Wilson has fully been removed from the injury report here for the Arizona Cardinals, which obviously is bullish, but I am not a Gardenner Menchy
12:44believer. I think he is fun. I think it is exciting to root for him, but I do not think Gardner Menchu is a good
12:50quarterback. This is a very tough matchup being played in Seattle where the Arizona Cardinals again project to score the second fewest amount of points
12:57in the NFL this week. The only team that projected out for fewer was the team with the third string quarterback for
13:03the Baltimore Ravens. Now Jaylen Coker, yes, was disappointing this past week as Bryce Young looked very bad. I would still say this is somebody that you're
13:11just going to simply have to start regardless, but he is trending in the wrong direction in terms of the target volume. Like he did really just get
13:18saved with the touchdown at the end of this past game. Now going to Isaiah Likely. Isaiah likely before the by-week did have a big letdown, but if you were
13:30looking at the target volume that you had before that singular week, I mean, Isaiah likely had been at the very top
13:35of the NFL among all tight ends with just the pure amount of targets that he was seeing. I don't love this game
13:42environment playing at Philly, though, just because the Philadelphia Eagles are going to have a very difficult time putting points on the board. So, you
13:49actually will be in a tough spot if you want to see passing attempts by the Giants. Now, Jaylen Waddle, I am playing
13:55against him this week. I'm not that concerned. I am mainly viewing Wadd as a boom bust wide receiver. Um, where obviously he's only had one game with
14:04more than 50 receiving yards this year.
14:06But the last thing that is worth noting is if this Denver Broncos defense is yet again elite with like Patrick Certain
14:16bag, hopefully the Denver Broncos aren't really having to throw the ball at all.
14:21Now, moving to Woody Marks. Woody Marks is somebody that you just simply have to start. He has had a ton of volume every
14:25game that David McGomery's missed. He hasn't scored a ton of points in those games, but in this setup against the Los
14:32Angeles Chargers, they are five and a half point favorites. So, you're going to assume that they will be able to run
14:37the ball consistently in the second half. And Woody Marks is very much live to score a touchdown. And then our last
14:42guy in this tier is going to be Eggbuka.
14:45So, I bua got in a practice on Thursday and he got in a practice on Friday. He practiced in full on Friday, so I was
14:53going to assume that they were going to clear him and say that he was good to go for this game, but he is labeled as
14:58questionable as a game time decision.
15:00So, I have Ibuka on my own fantasy team, but full transparency, I am rostering Chris Godwin as well. I picked up Chris Godwin off the waiverwire just
15:11in case not good to go. I will pivot over there. I am not worried about the lack of passing attempts that Baker
15:17Mayfield's had over the past two weeks because again, those have been super super weird game environments. They really haven't even been football games.
15:24But in this spot here, I do think Baker is going to have to throw the ball against Tampa. Now, moving over to our E
15:29tier, Olly Gordon is a touchdown or bust running back that is not going to catch the ball. I want to say has 14 receiving
15:35yards in like the five games he's been the guy in Miami. But if he was ever going to get a touchdown in this
15:41Dolphins offense was ever going to look good, it's going to be against the Detroit Lions defense, which has been one of the worst defenses all season.
15:48Very similar to the Quinn Sean Judkins profile, right? This is not somebody that you want to play when he's going up
15:53against a tough defense, but when he has a very bad defense, you jam him in. Now, with Saquon Barkley, it's very difficult
16:00to project the exact amount of volume he is going to see. He's off the injury report. They're saying that he's going
16:05to be good to go, but he played 15% of the snaps in week seven, 32% of the snaps in week eight. So, I just don't
16:12know how much Barkley we're going to get. Now, this matchup against the New York Giants at home, obviously, is a bit
16:18of a revenge game here for Mr. Squan.
16:21But with Joe Milton under center, I wouldn't expect the checkown rate to be crazy high while at the same time, the
16:27Philadelphia Eagles offense projects to be one of the worst offenses in the league. Devin Singleary in this same game environment. I am ranking here
16:33under the assumption that Cam Scataboo does not play. Scataboo right now is listed as doubtful for this week. Sounds like he's going to miss this week and
16:42the potentially he is going to be playing on Thursday night next week. But Tyrone Tracy is on the IR. So with that
16:50in mind, um Devin Singleary is just going to get a raw amount of targets and carries out of this backfield. That
16:56makes him a start, especially where the Giants are a favorite against a team that can't put points on the board. You
17:01assume the Giants run the ball. Now, Tyler Algier, I am assuming, is not going to have Bam Knight in this backfield with him. Obviously, this is a
17:12running back that will not see Jeremiah Love take any touches from him, but the Arizona Cardinals project to be a horrible, horrible, horrible offense
17:21this week. It is the toughest matchup you could possibly ask for having to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle. So that's why we are going to
17:29have Tyler Algier much lower than where he produced last week because obviously last week he looked great. Now going to DJ Moore. DJ Moore is in a very tough
17:39matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.
17:41So I naturally want to be a little bit lower. It does look like he shed the non-cont jersey at practice though. So
17:48if that is going to be the case, I think you can be a little more optimistic about DJ Moore in general. Now with
17:56Stefon Diggs, you probably just have to jam him in with the knowledge of one.
18:02Obviously, you have no Terry McLaren, but on top of this, Trayon Bergs has been ruled out as well. So, I think
18:09Diggs is at the very minimum interesting here. Now, Travis Kelce at 52. Um, with Kelsey, I would say he's an interesting
18:17start at tight end. Obviously, Flex is maybe a little bit less enticing, but he's averaging almost 12 fantasy points per game. The Kansas City Chiefs project
18:27to be one of the best offenses in the NFL this week as well. Now, moving to Tucker Craft. Tucker Craft has gotten
18:34better as time go has gone on and he has removed every single week, one week more from that torn ACL. Now, Casey
18:43Conception does appear like he is taking over as the number one wide receiver here for this Cleveland Browns offense.
18:53But Harold Fannon is good to go in this game. And with Harold Fannon being good to go, I am a little bit more
19:00pessimistic about Casey Conception because he is going to have to share targets with Fannon on top of Denzel Boston. Now, moving over to our F tier,
19:11this will be the range of players that I'm going to start preferring on your bench if you could get them there with
19:18Tyler Warren. He has a great matchup against the Dallas Cowboys this week.
19:23So, you're probably going through and starting them based on matchup and matchup alone, but obviously not the most exciting spot in just a garbage
19:33offense with Josh Downs and Keenan Allen still there. Sam Leaporta is a start. My hesitation is he hasn't looked great over the past two weeks.
19:43While on top of this as well, it's a matchup in Miami where you assume the Detroit Lions aren't going to be forced
19:49to throw the ball too too much with Rashad White. I am starting him myself.
19:55I think you have a cap ceiling. It's not a great matchup against the Los Angeles Rams where you are four and a half point
20:01dogs. But not only do you have no Jakori Kroski Merritt, but on top of this, you also do end up getting um I want to say
20:09Jeremy McNichols placed on the IR. So it really is just Rashad White as the last guy left standing. Then we have Bree
20:18Hall and Brilen Allen back to back. My expectations would be that they are splitting this backfield and it's a backfield in which you are nine and a
20:27half point dogs going to play in Kansas City. So, I don't know how excited that you should be with this setup
20:34specifically. Moving to Adai Mitchell. I think Adinai Mitchell probably is a start now given the context that Garrett Wilson has ruled out of this game with
20:45no Garrett Wilson. You just have more targets that can get funneled to Adini Mitchell as well as Omar Cooper. Malik Washington in what is a pretty damn good
20:55matchup. About the best matchup you're going to get going up against the Detroit Lions. Now, our G tier, we have TJ Hawinson, who is in a very good spot
21:04against the Buffalo Bills. My hesitation with Hawinson, though, is did he get an inflated target share with Kyler Murray being unwilling to push the
21:15ball deep downfield?
21:17And if Carson Wentz is the quarterback now, do you like that a little bit more for the receivers than the tight ends?
21:23Now, for Harold Fannon, sounds like he's going to be good to go. He did practice on Friday, but he is maybe the third target in the
21:34Cleveland Browns offense in what should be a low-scoring game environment.
21:38Dallas Goddard is playing now with Joe Milton. And at the same time, I know Eli Sters isn't great or anything, but Sters
21:47at least being active could take a little bit away from Goddard. Then with Keenan Allen, it is a phenomenal matchup playing against the Dallas Cowboys. But
21:56at the end of the day, you're you're an Indianapolis Colt and you're Keenan Allen. Lad Mani looks like he is the
22:03wide receiver one for the Los Angeles Chargers, but this isn't the best matchup in the world going up against the Houston Texans defense. The defense
22:11definitely isn't as good as what people thought they were going to be coming into the season, but it's not like they're horrible. And the Los Angeles
22:17Chargers so far this year have arguably been the worst offense in the entire NFL. Now looking at Omar Cooper, Omar Cooper gave you the goose egg last week,
22:26but obviously this week we have to have him much higher in the rankings just with no Garrett Wilson. Omar Cooper is
22:33going to be a safe bet for targets.
22:35Antonio Williams is going to be a safe bet for targets as well where he led the commanders and targets last week. You
22:42have no Terry McLaren and you have no Trayon Burks. Blake Cororm has been scoring touchdowns, had a super high clip and it is a good matchup against
22:52the Commanders where they probably should be able to run the ball over and over again. Now, Jadarian Price is a running back that is in my lineup. I
23:00currently have him in my second flex. I don't like the fact that Quinton Nelson's going to be missing a couple weeks here. Sucks that he has surgery. I
23:08was really hoping that he was going to be able to bolster the Seattle Seahawks offensive line, but the Seahawks are eight and a half point favorites in a
23:15very good matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. And I do think based on the usage we had last week, Jerian Price looks like the running back one, but low
23:22expectations. And then Denzel Boston maybe is the third pass catcher here for the Cleveland Browns. We don't know. So the floor is just incredibly low in that
23:30offense, especially with the change at quarterback. Now moving over to our age tier, Roma Dunce has done nothing all season. I will say, of course, that I'm
23:39not worried about the Chicago Bears offense playing against the Bucks defense. Bears should be fine. Deario Douglas, you can run it back this week.
23:47Sounds like you will get M. Holland good to go. So, there's a little more target competition, but with Hunter Henry banged up. Not only Hunter Henry banged
23:57up, but AJ Brown already ruled out of this game, um, Deario Douglas is going to be viable. Now, looking at Kyle
24:04Pittz, Kyle Pittz, I don't want to be overly optimistic because while yes, he's looked good over the past four games having four touchdowns, he's
24:12averaging four targets this season per game, which is the lowest mark that you've seen in his entire NFL career.
24:20Now, with Dalton Concincaid, I'm gonna have him in my lineup this week. But I'll be honest, it is a very nasty
24:27matchup against the Minnesota Vikings where this game's being played in Minnesota. Typically, the Buffalo Bills project out to be one of the highest
24:36scoring offenses in the league, but this week they project out to just be average.
24:42Okay. Now, Mai Limmon at 76. It's a difficult ranking because you have the change of the quarterback going over to Joe Milton, but you have no Devonte
24:51Smith and you have no Dantavian Wixs this week. So, he should be the wide receiver one in this offense. But again,
24:59the QB play maybe isn't going to be the best. Zack Charbanet is probably the favorite to score the touchdown in Seattle between the two backs, but he
25:08had less usage than Jerian Price this past week. And also it looked like he didn't have as much juice with Alvin
25:15Kamara.
25:16You have no Travis ETN yet again, which sucks for me. I was really hoping Travis ETN was going to be back this week.
25:23Sounds like we're not getting ETN back for a little bit of time here. Um, it does look like Kamar is going to
25:28continue to split with Kendre Miller, but Kamar is my favorite for the receptions and the touchdown, which obviously would be the high volume or
25:37high value touches here. Now, Trey Tucker gave you the goose egg this past week, but you are just looking at him as
25:45a a boom bust wide receiver that he does have a very high ceiling. Of course, now with Josh DS gets to play against his brother in
25:56what is a very good matchup, it is just very difficult to be excited about anybody on the Indianapolis Colts. I'm obviously more excited about him in this
26:05game against the Dallas Cowboys than would we would be in other matchups.
26:10Amari and Hampton they are saying is going to see a little more work out of the backfield this week, but I'll see it
26:16when I believe it. I'm sorry. I'll believe it when I see it. And then Kendrick Miller you can look at as a
26:21desperation dart. Again, I expect him to split with Alvin Kamara against a Browns defense that's going to keep this game pretty low scoring. And then lastly,
26:30Greg Dolich, if you are the most desperate of teams, has the best matchup in the NFL at tight end this week.
26:36Jordan Addison maybe can look a little better with Carson Wentz. Devon Vele would be much higher once Jordan Tyson gets ruled out, but it sounds like sadly
26:45Tyson may not play.
26:48Douglas you can look at and hope for the big touchdown, averaging 12 fantasy points per game. It's a great matchup against the Detroit Lions. I just don't
26:55trust the volume. Khil Shakir had the touchdown last week. Very tough matchup this week. Jordan Tyson sounds like he's probably not going to play, but even if
27:04he does, I definitely don't think you should be starting him.
27:08Then Daltton Schultz, don't love the game environment where against the Chargers, you don't have to throw that the ball that much. Eli
27:16Rarin, I'm ranking here under the assumption you have no Hunter Henry. But beyond this, you don't want to start anybody. You don't want to start Worthy.
27:22You don't want to start Ryan Florenoy if you can avoid it. You don't want to start a Minnesota Vikings running back
27:26if you can avoid it. But I really appreciate you and I hope I was able to help you out in some way with this
27:32video. And of course, I'm going to be live streaming Friday, Saturday, Sunday.
