1:53Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. I'm Mike Yam and it's my guy, Trevor Sikkema.
1:59Trevor, look, not everyone can be 1-0 in their fantasy leagues like me or 0-1 like you.
2:04Oh, come on. Come on. You knew it was going to happen.
2:08I had to do it. It's only week one, right?
2:11That's the advice that we give everyone. It's only one week.
2:15Guys get hurt. However, you actually did deal with the Brock Bowers injury.
2:19So I know that's not easy to do. But nonetheless, man, if you like some points, we got some this week.
2:25I wasn't even playing you this week. You didn't have to go after me like that.
2:31Come on. So now I know. Now I know when it's me and you.
2:35It's on. This show is going to be must-watch TV when I face off against you in our league.
2:41Yeah, the problem is I probably wasted the bullet at this point because it might just be totally downhill for me the rest of the way.
2:49So I was able to get the comment in while I can.
2:53But I made reference to it. Like if you like points, week one just delivered in such a meaningful way.
3:00A 14-year week one record officially matched, tying the most points scored in a week one in NFL history.
3:06Almost 49 and a half points per game is what we saw.
3:10Almost 50 points. I think it was actually 49.4.
3:13So combined points in the game, that's exactly how I thought it was going to play out.
3:18But all right, tell me some guys right now who, give me two players that are who we thought they are.
3:25We have to start with Josh Allen, right? I mean like Josh Allen, he would have been your QB one in every single league.
3:32There's always the conversation. How early do you take a quarterback?
3:36Well, however early you took Josh Allen, wherever you took him in your draft, you couldn't have been happier than what we saw in this week one performance.
3:45You got the rushing production, the passing production. It was everything that you would have wanted to see from Superman, Josh Allen.
3:52And so for me, he has to be that they are who we thought they were in a good way from the quarterback position.
4:00Because again, no matter where you prioritized him, it couldn't have been better.
4:04And it was against one of the better defenses in the NFL.
4:08I'm a huge proponent of Josh Allen moving forward.
4:10You know, any matchup, you got to go into this pretty fearless.
4:14Chris Alave, what an absolute monster. I mean, the numbers were just bonkers for him.
4:19Yeah, he incredible as well. 13 targets, 10 catches over 180 receiving yards.
4:23Alave is the man. We already knew that going into the season.
4:27But I think the big question was with defenses keying in on him, you know, with him only the consistent legitimate headliner threat in that offense.
4:35Could he still eat or were defenses really going to key in on him?
4:40Well, he absolutely ate against the Detroit Lions. You love to see it.
4:44Yeah. All right. So two dudes who obviously got it done.
4:48Big name players on the flip side. Sometimes you get a couple duds that are out there.
4:53We sort of got that from some other players.
4:56Yeah. Unfortunately, I want to start with George Pickens here, who George Pickens can win you a week.
5:02You know, like that's how talented this guy is, but it's just too inconsistent.
5:06You see it on the screen there. The big drops that kind of made all the difference in the world for Dallas's offense.
5:14I mean, that's just a major issue for a player as talented as George Pickens.
5:18And so unfortunately, the inconsistencies with Pickens is what makes him who we thought he was.
5:24Yeah. And on the flip side, Cooper Cup, I almost feel like there's a little bit of an out for him because
5:31of the Darnold injury, but on the wrong side of this conversation.
5:34A little bit, but I think he's on the bad side of they are who we thought they were because he still
5:41ran the second most routes of any player on this team.
5:45And the production just wasn't there. So the playtime is going to be, but it's a lot of sort of what we've
5:52seen in the past where very clearly just the majority of the production is going to go to Jack Smith and Jibba in this offense.
6:00And unless you get, I don't want to call it necessarily lucky because Cooper Cup's the man and he creates these opportunities,
6:07but unless you get lucky with a Cooper Cup touchdown, I just don't know how fantasy relevant he's going to be for you in this offense.
6:15So unfortunately he was out there. He just didn't get the ball as much as you would have liked for him to.
6:22Yeah. By the way, one other note too, on the George Pickens side of things, I mean, C.D.
6:28Lamb also not exactly the impact that offense really was shut down by a Giants defense, which candidly, I think is going
6:35to raise or bring a smile to every Giants fans face.
6:39For a little bit more. How about our guy, Matt Akata?
6:42Always good to have him on the show. NFL.com slash start sit.
6:46We two starts and sits right now. Matt, break this down for me.
6:50It's always great to have you on the show.
6:53When I think about dudes that need to be in this lineup, give me two quarterbacks that you got to make sure you're playing this week.
7:02Yeah, absolutely. I'm starting with Bryce Young. He has been kind of quietly breaking out since late last year in tandem with
7:09fantasy's current top scoring receiver, Jalen Coker. Since mid-November, Young is averaging more than 19 fantasy points a game.
7:15That is sixth among quarterbacks, better than Joe Burrow, better than Jalen Hurts, among others.
7:19And he has simultaneously been more aggressive and made fewer mistakes.
7:23And that resulted in 230 passing yards a game, 15 touchdowns, just five picks.
7:27And the game that started this breakout yammer was the overtime thriller in Atlanta, where he threw for 448 yards, three touchdowns, top 31 fantasy points.
7:36So look for an encore this Sunday. And then I've got to take Baker Mayfield in the revenge game against Cleveland.
7:43Look, his week one performance was kind of a tale of two tales.
7:47On one hand, he completed 82% of his passes.
7:50That's 15.4% over expected and rushed for 30 yards and a touchdown.
7:53But on the other hand, he lost three fumbles and Bucky Irving lost a fourth, which took a ton of yards and
8:00probably several points off the board for Tampa Bay.
8:03The last time the Bucs lost four fumbles in a game yammer was 2014 with Josh McCown and Mike Glennon.
8:10It's not happening again in week two. So Mayfield is a big rebound candidate against his former team.
8:16Yeah, I think a lot of us did not anticipate a performance like that from not only Baker Mayfield, but this offense as well.
8:23I'm a little surprised here. Justin Herbert, as big of an arm as there is in the NFL.
8:29I know week one wasn't pretty, but you say park him on the bench.
8:33Yeah, this is less about Justin Herbert, to be honest.
8:37It's more about the health of Lad McConkie, who's currently day-to-day with a rib injury.
8:41Trevor actually had a great post after Sunday's game that highlighted how much worse the Chargers offense was when Lad was off the field in week one.
8:50It was atrocious. And even if Lad is back, I think he'll probably be limited.
8:55Plus, don't look now, but I kind of like this Raiders defense who added N'Kobe Dean, Quay Walker, Quiddy Pay, rookie Trayden
9:02Stukes at safety, all around Max Crosby this past offseason.
9:05They all looked great in week one. I think there are several other quarterbacks worth streaming over Justin Herbert.
9:11Yeah, by the way, I love that note. Trevor actually told us about some of that stuff on game day preview.
9:18Don't forget, during the course of the week here on the NFL channel, we got our pregame shows on Sunday, Monday, and Thursday.
9:25Trevor obviously was a part of that over the weekend.
9:29What about some running backs, man? Give me two names that have to be in the lineup.
9:34Yeah, I'm starting Ramondre Stevenson against the Steelers, whether or not Travion Henderson returns from his ankle injury, which currently sounds possible.
9:41And look, Stevenson was extremely inefficient on the ground against Seattle.
9:45But I frankly don't care for two reasons. One, it's Seattle, who's probably the best defense in the league.
9:51Two, I am playing Stevenson for the receiving upside in PPR.
9:54Even against the Seahawks, he had five catches for 44 yards last Wednesday.
9:58And B. John Robinson, who played Pittsburgh, had eight catches for 90 yards and a touchdown.
10:03So if Henderson plays, I think you'll see limited usage.
10:07And Stevenson will have a great shot at a sort of B.
10:10John light fantasy performance. And then I'm actually starting two, quote unquote, plodding runners against ASU North opponents.
10:16Give me David Montgomery versus the Bengals coming off his three touchdown outing against Buffalo.
10:21Houston reached the red zone five times in week one.
10:24That was tied for the most by any team.
10:27That is extremely good news for Montgomery and his fantasy managers, because that is where he is going to score the majority of his points.
10:35Plus, dating back to last year, since he has allowed the most fantasy points to running backs.
10:41I don't think he'll be an RB1 all season, but Montgomery will be an RB1 for at least one more week.
10:47By the way, on my squad, a big reason why I was able to win was because Montgomery finding that end zone.
10:54Jeremiah Love, you really sitting this dude? Yeah, listen, he's very talented.
10:58So this is risky. But he was also out snapped and out carried by Tyler Algier in week one.
11:04Now, that could have been a little bit of maintenance for Love's ankle, but it already gives me pause.
11:10And then he's playing the Seahawks, who I just talked about.
11:14They crushed New England's ground game last week, and they have been extremely tough against this position since last year.
11:20No running back Yammer has scored 17 fantasy points in a game against the Hawks since week six.
11:26And the lead back in those 13 games has only averaged 10 fantasy points.
11:31So, sadly, for now, I am not feeling the love.
11:34Dark side defense creating some nightmares for fantasy owners and certainly the running backs that are going to go and try to produce.
11:41We've got some more starting sits. In fact, we're going to hit up the wide receiver spot.
11:47Not to mention we are going to be chasing some points on the board.
11:51Chase Daskalos is going to be joining us. We'll get his take on every position and who could be leading the charge.
11:58We know there was an offensive explosion. Caleb Williams, Derrick Henry leading the way in week one.
12:04Who are those guys in week two? Chase has got that answer coming up.
12:08Hey, our ride's almost here. Are you ready? Just grabbing my shoes.
12:12That's what you said 10 minutes ago. I just dropped a video call, uploading this giant file on my tablet, looking at

14:54Welcome back to the show. If you owned any of these players, you probably won your week.
14:59Highest fantasy scorers by position. Caleb Williams leading the pack at the quarterback spot.
15:04Derek Henry delivered in that backfield. Jalen Coker, a little bit of a surprise to see him on this list.
15:10Isaiah Likely, that connection with Jackson Dart, really effective.
15:13And then the Bengals. I mean, McPherson, 19 fantasy points for him in that Bengals defense.
15:18Much maligned in the last few years. Getting it done.
15:22Time for Earn Your Sunday, presented by Lowe's. Chase Daskalos is with us, back on the show.
15:27Chase, it's awesome to have you back with us.
15:30I need you to look inside your crystal ball, because we just showed the top fantasy players by position.
15:36Quarterback and running back. Week two, who's delivering? Who's going to be on that list for us?
15:41So, Jalen Hurts was very quietly the quarterback eight in week one, and he did it nearly all through the air.
15:4881% of his fantasy points was from passing production.
15:51This is shocking, but guess who doesn't have a single rushing touchdown since week 12 of last season?
15:57Jalen Hurts. He's due for multiple scores on the ground, and he gets a great matchup against a very soft Titans defense in week two.
16:05At running back, I feel like I'm taking the easy way out here, Yam, but after watching what the Bears did to
16:12the Panthers on the ground in week one, how can I not say Bijan Robinson?
16:17He has incredible rushing upside in this matchup, plus we saw 10 targets, eight receptions, 90 receiving yards from him in week one.
16:24Yeah, delivering for fantasy owners. By the way, I love that call on Jalen Hurts, because we saw what Geno Smith looked like against the Titans defense.
16:33Something tells me Hurts is going to deliver. Pass catchers for me.
16:36Give me a wide receiver. Give me a tight end.
16:40Who do you like? Yeah, so Chris Olave, he's averaged 21 fantasy points per game and 10 targets per game over his
16:47last eight games with Tyler Shuck, a quarterback. He had a league high 235 air yards in week one.
16:53He turned that into 10 catches for 182 yards, but didn't find the end zone.
16:58I think Olave scores multiple touchdowns this week in a shootout with the Ravens.
17:02At the tight end position, all right, this is where I'm going bold, and I'm going worst to first because Colston Loveland
17:09scored zero fantasy points in week one against the Panthers, but he led the entire team in routes run.
17:15We know how explosive this Bears offense is. If they're forced to go more through the air against a tough Vikings rush
17:22defense, the pass game could funnel through him. All right, bonus round tier kicker defense.
17:27You got a name for me? Yeah, let's go Cam Little in the thin air in Denver.
17:33And how about the Eagles pass rush against a Titans offensive line that can't protect Cam Ward?
17:38Oh, I like that. Doubling down on the Philadelphia Eagles who would be looking to go 2-0 after that week one win against the Commanders.
17:46Chase, you're the best, Matt. Always great to have you on the show with us.
17:51All right, we'll shift our attention back to the starts and sits.
17:55NFL.com's Matt Akata. Once again, you can check it out.
17:58NFL.com slash start sit. We went through some positions, but we didn't get to the wide receiver.
18:03So give me two guys that you need to make sure are in your lineup.
18:08Yeah, listen. Listen, I was concerned about the soft tissue injuries in the age and the 20-25 regression for Mike Evans.
18:15Through one week, yeah, I'm taking the loss on this one.
18:18Evans looked great in Melbourne. He was a menace on third downs.
18:22He snagged a vintage. I'm bigger and stronger than you touched down from the goal line that we just saw.
18:29Plus, Dijon Stripling is now out and George Kittle is still working back to full health.
18:34So Evans is the clear king of this passing attack, which is led by Kyle Shanahan and Brock Purdy.
18:40That is a very dangerous combo for fantasy. I think until further notice, Evans is must-start material.
18:45And that definitely includes week two against Miami. And then, fortunately for me, because as wrong as I was about Evans last
18:52week, I was right about Terry McLaurin. He looked like an afterthought in Washington's offense against Philly.
18:58And Stephon Diggs is the guy who stepped up into the wide receiver one role in his stead.
19:0331% target share, 33% air yards share. That translated to 15.5 fantasy points for Diggs.
19:08And in week two, he draws a juicy matchup with the Cowboys, who have allowed the most fantasy points to the position since the start of last season.
19:17This is projected to be the second highest scoring game of the entire week, Yammer.
19:22And I want pieces wherever I can get them.
19:25So Diggs is the guy. Yeah, not to mention a couple drops for him in that game.
19:30And something tells me just knowing that Diggs is going to try to deliver in a big way.
19:36Big name player, DK Metcalf. Not exactly. You're saying, hey, send him in week number two.
19:41I'm not even sure what to do with him the rest of the season, based off of what I saw in week number one.
19:49But give me the reasoning for this week. Yeah, speaking of drops, look, Metcalf saw 10 targets in week one, which is encouraging.
19:56But he caught just four of them for 40 yards.
20:00And he did not look good or in sync with Aaron Rodgers.
20:03And that included one officially counted drop for Metcalf.
20:06But honestly, for this week, this has more to do with who he'll face on Sunday.
20:11History and data suggests that Metcalf will be heavily shadowed by Patriots cornerback Christian Gonzalez, who completely smothered him the last time they met back in 2024.
20:20So unless he has a big play on one of the snaps, he doesn't draw Gonzalez, a la Jackson Smith and Jigba last Wednesday.
20:28I think Metcalf posts another dud in week one, and there could be more to come in that realm.
20:34I'm a little hesitant right now with the Steelers offense, what I saw in week number one.
20:39And I know Aaron Rodgers has had some moments.
20:42The storylines aside here, I think there's going to be some massive concerns, which we will dissect over the next few weeks.
20:49NFL.com slash start sit. Matt, you're the best man.
20:52Always appreciate that insight. Your tight ends and your defenses.
20:55You can check out once again on NFL.com. It is one of my favorite times of this show, though.
21:01How about this? Sick flexes. Trevor Sikama has got me covered right now.
21:06Trevor, when I think about Devontae Adams, look, the Rams offense just struggled across the board down in Australia.
21:12But why is he a guy on your radar?
21:14Well, he's somebody who I think should be a strong consideration for flex plays because the pendulum has to swing the other
21:22way, honestly, with the Rams offense entirely. When you look at Adams, I know that he was, people say, a touchdown merchant last year rather than overall production.
21:30But he still ran just as many routes as Pukinokua did in week one.
21:35So to me, that showcases that this guy is going to be on the field.
21:40He's going to have his opportunities. And I still think they're going to emphasize him in the red zone.
21:46So it's not like they're only putting him on the field for red zone opportunities.
21:51To me, it's he's going to be on the field.
21:54And then he's just going to be an emphasis when it comes to those red zone opportunities.
21:59So for me, I think the Rams overall, it's a bounce back week for them.
22:04And I think that Adams is going to be involved in that bounce back.
22:095.6 points in week one. That is the seventh lowest number since 2017 for Devontae Adams.
22:14Wherever you took him, it wasn't to get 5.6 points in your starting lineup.
22:18And that is definitely potentially going to sink you.
22:21On the flip side, waiver wires. I think about a guy like Jalen Coker and what he was able to accomplish.
22:28The targets were their nine receptions. Excuse me, nine targets, eight receptions for him.
22:32He went bonkers here. It almost feels like you have to go and add this guy.
22:37Yeah, I mean, 34 routes run in week one.
22:40Now, you're going up against the Chicago Bears defense and also high-scoring offense.
22:44So I don't think he's going to run that many routes this upcoming week.
22:49But the most important thing to remember about Jalen Coker isn't necessarily the repeated volume that we got from week one.
22:56It's the repeated chemistry that he has with Bryce Young.
22:59And I thought Bryce looked really good. He was carving up zone defenses left and right.
23:04And I think that we're going to see plenty of that versus the Atlanta Falcons this week.
23:09And just, again, that chemistry is there. Bryce knows where to put the football to make sure that Jalen Coker can run
23:17under it, get his hands on it, wherever it was.
23:20At the sideline, double moves over the middle. Jalen Coker was everywhere.
23:24His usage is so versatile that I really do believe that higher targets, maybe not nine, but higher targets, are in the cards for him every single week.
23:33So if he's available in your league, yeah, go get him.
23:36And I seriously think about starting him this week.
23:39If you own Tett McMillan, are you worried right now?
23:42I'm not. No, and I think that Tett's kind of rolling through, putting on that extra weight and strength that he had
23:49this offseason where he said, hey, I want to get stronger.
23:53I want to be able to play up against press coverage and physical coverage a little bit better.
23:58So to me, he's still working through being a little bit heavier as well.
24:03So I think Tett will be totally fine. But I think both him and Coker are going to eat in this offense.
24:10All right, commanders in their backfield, Sha'Kory Kroski merit.
24:13What do I do? Because there's some, at least for me, I had some concerns about Washington and their offense coming into this season.
24:21But he's on your radar against the Cowboys. Yeah, I mean, he's the most explosive, right?
24:26And when you look at a defense of the Cowboys, it was as poor as it was against the Giants.
24:32I think you have to take a look at any opponent that they're playing up against.
24:37And when I look at Kroski merit, I went back and I watched that film for the Washington offense and just really went wrong.
24:45What went wrong? And the Eagles did not respect the commanders run game nearly enough.
24:50To me, that tells me that Washington's going to have to get it involved more.
24:55They're going to see that defenses are dropping too many players in coverage against them.
24:59And how do you counter that? Well, if it's a lighter box, run the football.
25:04Sha'Kory Kroski merit by far their most explosive back and the most explosive and dynamic option they have out of the backfield.
25:11And so to me, he is somebody to keep on the radar for this week because of how poor the Cowboys played
25:18last week and also the fact that it just has to be way better in the run game from Washington.
25:25Yeah, we've spent a lot of time talking about Christian Parker, the new D.C.
25:29for the Dallas Cowboys. Their defense against the Giants didn't look much improved despite the fact that we were talking about an
25:36overhaul, not just at the top there, but personnel-wise.
25:39Just a storyline. We get a little bit more of a data point with a Week 2 game against the Commanders.
25:46Time for hot takes. Matt, light me up, man.
25:49Give me a bold prediction of what we could see in Week 2.
25:53Oh, boy. Parker Washington. My love, my life, my fantasy crush.
25:56He is going to be a top 5 wide receiver against the Broncos secondary.
26:01Yeah, you heard me right. First off, let's be clear.
26:04Washington is officially the wide receiver one in Jacksonville.
26:07He scored 19 fantasy points in the first quarter and a half of Week 1, and then he essentially took the rest
26:14of the game off because the Jags were pummeling the Browns, but he still comfortably led the team in target share and air yard share.
26:22And importantly, Ammer, he is the primary slot receiver for Jacksonville, which means he should largely avoid Pat Sertan, just like he
26:29did against Denver in Week 16 last year when he caught six balls for 145 yards and a touchdown and finished as
26:36the wide receiver three overall on the week. It's happening again.
26:40I love Parker Washington. I get why he's your fantasy crush just based off of what he's been able to produce even
26:47going back to last season in this offense year two with Liam Colton and Trevor Lawrence still looking like he's cooking.
26:53Trevor Sykema, what do you got for me? I feel like I didn't go hot enough because you've got Parker Washington as a top 5 receiver.
27:02I thought Rasheed Rice as a top 10 wide receiver would be hot enough, but whether it's 10, 5, whatever it is
27:09for Rasheed Rice, I think that he is going to go off this upcoming week.
27:14And he only got two targets for two receptions, 19 yards.
27:17He had that touchdown, but 13 of those 19 yards came after the catch, as you can see on the screen there.
27:24And he's a much busier day for Rice because the Chiefs are going up against a Colts team that is trying to play a lot of man coverage.
27:33But outside of Sauce Gardner, the players that they're asking to play man coverage are not playing it well.
27:39So if he's matched up against Sauce, okay, it could be a tougher day for him.
27:44But man, anytime that he's going to get those non-Sauce Gardner matchups, I think Rasheed Rice is going to be that receiver
27:51that they go to to beat that man coverage.
27:54So I think he has really big potential this week.
27:57Top 10, maybe even top 5 if I've got a match, Matt, and how hot his take was.
28:03Trevor, you know what's crazy, man? Just watching this team, I had some questions about what Mahomes could look like.
28:10I mean, Kenneth Walker, so much buzz about this dude and how he could help this team get over the hump.
28:16I thought he was terrific. I actually think he had a bigger impact than at least I thought he was going to have in that matchup.
28:25My hot take, I was going back and forth with a couple different ones.
28:29I'm glad Chase earlier in the show made reference to Jalen Hurts because I think he's going to have a monster game.
28:36I was going back and forth in my head, though.
28:39Do I roll with Dak or do I roll with Cam?
28:43Scadaboo is my guy, and I am going to focus in on him.
28:47We've got a Monday night matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
28:51This dude just continues to thrive. We saw with the Niners.
28:54Physicality was able to do against that Rams defense.
28:57I think Cam actually balls out. Double-digit points in every game, but his NFL debut back in week one of last season.
29:04It feels like he's kind of an automatic. There's so much juice to this team's offense when Scadaboo is out there.
29:11I think he goes for 100 yards and two touchdowns against the Rams across the street from our studios at SoFi Stadium.
29:18Big lights and stage there. And I will just say this, and I don't know if you guys agree with me because
29:25he was a little bit of a dud, and Trevor, you made reference to it earlier in the show with Pickens.
29:32I actually think the Dallas offense, I think Dak balls out in week two.
29:36I think you could say the same thing for CeeDee Lamb and Pickens.
29:40Am I crazy feeling confident in the Cowboys offense in week two based off of what we saw in week number one?
29:47I don't think you're crazy at all because Washington's corners are really skeptical.
29:51I think that those guys week in and week out, you don't know what you're going to get.
29:57And I think CeeDee Lamb could have a big day.
30:00I think it could potentially be a big bounce back week from Pickens.
30:05So I'm with you on that one. I like it.
30:08Matt, you were nodding your head. So we're all in agreement there on Dallas's offense getting it right.
30:14Dak, I mean, heck, we thought we could be in that MVP conversation by the end of the season.
30:20All right, week one is down. If you lost in week one, there's still plenty of time.
