Josh Allen.
It's got this elbow injury. UCL sprain. He's been Limited in
practice. He's no sure thing to play against the Vikings,
the betting Market on bed, MGM, don't think he's going to play.
Or if he does, you'll be limited. The line is gone from
minus 7 and a half. Now, down to minus 4 and a half and still
falling. So what are we doing from fancy? Respect? What
I want to ask you about that real quickly. Sure.
So
that's what the betting Market thinks but if You think Josh
Allen can play? Yeah. Are you better off taking the bills
right now? Without line just saying like, hey there,
the markets hedging a little bit
like when you, because you used to set the lines, you did that
for five years at a major Casino.
Would you is this one of these things where, you know, he's
not playing or you're just like had the public might think he's
not playing some trying to hedge it a little bit
to get more people to take the other side? Yeah, it's a tough
one because if he was definitely out, then I think
the line would be bills - one-and-a-half bills. Minus
1/2, minus 2 with case. I'm so the market is like you said,
it's hedging its bets so if you think that Alan is going to
apply and be
basically you know he did throw 69 yards in the air off to
respray right through. See also maybe he's just fine and also
Case Keenum can absolutely win. That game
Case Keenum is basically As Good As It Gets as a backup
quarterback in the NFL Correctional quarter bench game
against Minnesota. Hashtag Revenge game. Yes. I think yes
that I wouldn't waste spoke about it when the line was
still six and a half. I think the Vikings were a no-brainer
at that point but now I wouldn't I wouldn't be too
optimistic taking the Vikings plus 4.
I will tell you that I picked up Case Keenum in a decent
amount of leagues just you know and I have Josh town a couple
weeks I picked him up an obviously believes where I've
Josh hollan
but I don't know. I feel like he plays in this one Lawrence
or like it just I don't know. They it
you know, they this is a game they need. It's a game you
need? He's a and Josh island is one of those was like I'm
tough. Like this is a guy that runs is a cyborg. He's
a cyborg.
I'm not panicking yet. Am I crazy Lawrence? No, I was just
about to say how that line is moving. I'm thinking in my head
like and it's do playing this, do 65 to 45, he's the big back.
He said it plenty of times, you know, I'm saying. So right now,
I'm taking that line where it is
like until we have something concrete. And it's and it's
looking like he's if he's limited a guy like him, he's
going to play. I saw it on TV. The other day, they said,
the Jets took advantage of his
of his best. Great. But it was weak from that time was his
toughness, his mental and physical toughness. So I bet on
a plane. I mean, I'm going,
you know, I don't know why. But like I'm,
you know, stupid to try to interpret a one-word tweet, but
the stuff on twig digs tweet Rejoice Rejoice from yesterday.
Like, you know what, Stefon Diggs rejoicing about right,
you know. Like this is the Final Fantasy embedding, trying
to really analyze those little things. Maybes rejoicing,
he's not out in the season. It could meet because no long turn
to that's something to rejoice. Two for all of us because we
definitely need Joshua Allen in the league. Exactly, I don't
like you already took Bruce Hall from us. You know, fantasy
guys. Don't don't take Josh Allen you took they took they
took
Javonte Williams. Like, don't
don't take,
don't take Josh Allen from his coach, John McDermott, by
the way, says he's day-to-day to quote, quick. Keith Olbermann
were all
day to day. Matthew, what are we doing with bills fantasy
guys? That we starting or obviously, starting Stefan,
Diggs, I think you still have to start Gabe. Davis, what are
you doing with the time? And I think also you know Devon
Devon Singletary. Although you know Singletary
comes in a bit of
a little bit lower for me and
in my ranks this week, it'll be interesting to see how much
19 Heinz gets normally in a matchup, you know, like this
where we expect to be competitive. Single tree has
been really good in most games in which the bills have been
competitive, he'd be inside my top 20, he comes in at 23. In
my initial ranks here, we'll see a little bit of night him
Hines also, by the way, the Vikings pretty,
Gets the run, their fourth against the run, over the last
month. The issue, of course is that you can attack them on
the edges, like their bottom 10 in the NFL in terms of most
receptions and receiving yards allowed to opposing running
backs,
Singletary, and naheem Hines,
by the way, especially if Alan can't Chuck it, you know,
60-yard, you know, you dinner could see you could see more
dump offs here, but I agree with you. You're obviously
starting Stefon Diggs regardless. If the quarterback
is,
I think he's still have to start Gabe Davis. We've talked
about hit, he is Mike Williams East like he's just, you cannot
try to get cute and pick, you know, spot.
You're either starting every week or you're never starting
him. So I'm starting Gabe Davis if I have them on my team and
then yeah I'm in on Devin Singletary. It's a high-end
Flex this week. For sure,
to your point about Jay Davis. I'm actually I've actually
wrote about him in my flexplay article this week. I have gave
David see in it, even with Case Keenum, you know,
because like don't sleep on Case Keenum
always sleep on him. No, Kate Case Keenum,
again, I've said this before, and I say this in a respectful
way, he is a professional quarterback. Like he's not in
I think that not, but can he run an offense? Can he make plays
case kingdoms fine? Yeah.
Like there are much worse backup quarterbacks
in the NFL that are much more starting. Quarterbacks in
the NFL believe, then Case Keenum wasn't an NFC title game.
That's why I hope that longer and they dump them.
So, you know, he trying to ball
exact. That's exactly what I'm telling you. Hashtag Revenge
game against the Minnesota. Vikings, you like that
Case Keenum. By the way, if he gets a start and he wins, he
should absolutely like, go shirtless and she has changed.
Yes. Afterwards, just making fun of Kirk Cousins. By
the way, I don't know if you noticed, but Lawrence did right
there. Lawrence has mentioned
his article just in casual conversation. Well, slide it on
in there. You're fitting into the show immediately. Well, Don
Lawrence. Yeah, Josh hollan, he's not practicing to die as
well as just coming. I'm sorry, but we'll see what happens day
Wednesday. I think
the biggest takeaway here is it's obviously a massive story
that will continue to track throughout the week. If you
have Josh Allen, only Josh hollan have a contingency plan.
Plan. Whether it is picking up Case Keenum or somebody else on
your waiver wire
just have a contingency plan just be aware
that there's a possibility
Josh hollan could miss this week. Yep. And if Josh hollan
play even if he's limited, you're obviously, starting Josh
Allen. No matter what, Josh Hans actor for the bills, he's
active for you. Yep. Okay, let's move to Tampa Bay. Let's
move to Germany.
Where the Athletics Gregg
Allman is written that.
The momentum will likely be with Richard white at the end
of the season. In Tampa's, backfield hasn't been a great
year to date for Leonard, fournette. Lawrence and
Concerns about starting Leonard fournette in Munich.
So this week, I would say no, because the Seahawks are
the eighth worst team versus running backs in fantasy thus
far, but there's always a but
Richard why just closing that Gap. And as you can see right
there to snap percentage doesn't look you know, that
much and Richard White's favor. But if you look at the touches
and especially the touch has recently,
he's starting to get closer and if the books
are not lighten it up on offense,
Then why not integrate? You know Richard white just
a little bit more, you know I'm saying? There's I think
I agree with you Lawrence in this. Like are you starting
lineup for not your starting lineup for ya - honey. I'm
ranked 14th. But is there cause for concern, of course is is
he, you know, he's had three straight games with under 10
rushers. He's had three straight games with fewer than
25, rushing yards. You know, and
and the Seahawks defense has played better
as of recently. I mean, we talked about this yesterday
for whatever reason, the sea
Seahawks the with a winning record,
are underdogs to the, what are the three and five
through, you know, the four and five more five templates are
the four to five Tampa Bay Buccaneers? Like
I would give me this. Give me the Seahawks money line here.
Yep. You know, and I'm not surrounding points definitely
betting with. Yeah, and I like, and I would, I would easily bet
them with the points as well about MGM promo code. Barry,
just, you know,
pulling a Lauren right here
and they're pulling in LJ. Exactly.
But I just, but we've said this throughout the year,
White needs to be roster and every League. Like every week,
he's getting more and more trust with Tom Brady, every
week, he's getting more and more touches,
I don't think the, if you have Tom Brady's your quarterback,
I don't think you're ever shutting it down and playing
for next year, especially in that division. You know, that
the
they'll be able to like, you know, as bad as that the vision
is the first place, right?
They're awful. But they're there. I mean, so, but but
still
for that who's had injury issues in his career. You know,
if anything were to happen to him Rashad wipe, it would be
interesting. And I just as they're trying to find
different ways to get this offense going.
Richard white is a younger player who gives them a bit of
a spark. Yeah, I'm with you there. Let's go to Dallas.
Wedge-shaped tryna
medical expert. Jerry Jones has said that he expects
Zeke Elliott who I think the jury considers the most
important player of the on the team narrowly in front of Dak
Prescott and Michael Parsons expects him to play in week. 10
are in Lambo against the Packers,
where the Cowboys are five and a half Point favorites against
Aaron Rodgers. Matthew as Eakin Pollard are they both started
Belen week 10, Pretty bad pack is rushing, defy, me. That's
the point right? Over the last four weeks. The Green Bay
Packers are 29th
against the run, right? They bills, that right, feels like
overs, right? Like 30 seconds right there. I mean right.
Exactly there, you know, there are bottom three Rush defense
over the last month and so Ezekiel Elliott, who's
Believe It, or Not averaging 16 fantasy points. In his last two
games, he's played over 60% of the snaps in 5 of the 7 games
that he's played so far this year. I think both guys were
viable so
you know, I think you No Zeke. I have at running back 15,
I have Ezekiel Elliott actually have it 29, so I have them
reversed but you know, you'll see them come closer together.
Zeke did practice today so my ranks were done last night now
that Zeke is practice. You'll see Zeke move up more in my
ranks and maybe he'll
be less limited. Here
he is touched on the pettitte
Ezekiel Elliott, he's literally like that should be his legal
name, Ezekiel Elliott touch, time-dependent Harvey to, you
know,
but so I think you'll see more of an even split. But, yeah,
I mean,
like, Come hell or high water. Zeke is getting the ball in
a good matchup because Jerry Jones wants them to. Yeah.
Lawrence what do you got here? Both. Starting both of them
against the Packers. Yeah. Got to it and I don't think Jerry
thinks Zeke is the most important player right now. He
thinks he's the most important player in Dallas. Cowboys
history. Yes. Now think about that. Bye. Bye. Troy Aikman,
yeah.
So Tony Pilar here getting 13 plus touches in 46 games with
Ezekiel Elliott. So you have to, you have to love that, not
only that, Tony Paula Giselle. Elevating his game
anyway. You know I'm saying. So
they're never, there was never going to give them a full
workload. He didn't get that the week without Z, but he went
off though. But that's what we expect of Tony parlor. We
expect Tony pod to be efficient, right? And we expect
Zeke to steal away those goal line touchdown.
So yeah, get them both in that flat spot. Three different
times this year, the Packers of allowed multiple running backs
to get at least 75 yards from scrimmage. I think there's
probably a pretty good chance. Get Zeke gets into the endzone
as Lord says here,
and I do think, you know, Tony College good for a big play or
two in the six games that Ezekiel Elliott has played this
year. Tony Pollard's had at least 13 touches and four of
those six games here
and going off of what he did. The last time we saw Tony
Pollard. He's earned a bigger workload. I think this is going
to be like a 1A 1B thing going forward especially with Zeke
maybe less than 1% and Pollard. Proving, you know
what kind of a Sparky gives here
but both guys are viable against Green Bay this week. No
question. Yep. Alright, let's go to Pittsburgh where friend
of the show, Mike Florio. Tweeted out the Jalen Warren is
likely to see more Touches at the expense of nausea Harris.
Lawrence is Jalen wire. Is he more of just an insurance back
going forward? It can he take over this backfield?
Can he take it over? Yes, he can.
Is it going to be this week? I don't think so, but he's going
to get more involved. Mike Tomlin said, it himself, caught
him a quality back, who makes plays? Well yeah do we can all
see that you know,
yards per carry a big thing out here, especially in the fantasy
world and Jalen Wars, getting 5.3 per carry to
Nagi Harris's 3.3. We don't love that. So this is
the thing. Now Nagi Harris is already, you know,
along with Kyle pitch, one of the top bust in fantasy this year.
What's that going to be like when Warren gets even more
involved? That's my thinking about, yeah. We take a look at
nausea horses game, log past five games. I mean, these are
very kind of
seminal Nagi Harris
stats with Getting the calories, getting the touches
but just not getting the efficiency topping out at 74
yards on the ground. What are we doing this backfield,
Matthew?
I think you're probably still starting IG Harris because you
have to look,
I trust the reporting. You know, that that Florio is
putting out there and, you know, it's not a shock.
Nausea hair has been bad. I mean, you know, all the Trent
Richardson 2.0 jokes like he's been, he's been bad.
But there's nothing about this run game or this offense that
makes you think like, oh well, if jail
Warren could just get 20 touches. He would explode in
this thing, like he's looked better than nausea Harrison
limited time, but again the whole offense hasn't looked
great. You don't love this matchup with the New Orleans
Saints? Yeah, I know Kenyan. Drake just ran all over
them but they didn't really like we got 24 calories, but 93
was something Beyond writing the yard, the bully yards and
he gets into the end zone. And so, and by the way,
you have to defend the run against Baltimore with Lamar
Jackson much differently than you have to defend it against
Kenny Pickett and the, Dealers. And so,
you know, I mean, when you have a guy like, Lamar Jackson, it
just opens up lanes because you're so scared of him. Yes.
Running for 40 yards and so
I can time with Lawrence here like I think Jalen Warren
should be roster. Diamond looked at the roster Trends on
Yahoo yet but I would suspect that Jalen was a very popular
pick up. We talked about him yesterday on the show Jay
he should be but I can't imagine starting him this week.
Yeah, no. And so like Nagi Harris. You're probably
starting. You don't feel great about it but like he comes in
at running back.
Team for me in this one, just because
who's most likely to score touchdown in that backfield,
it's probably nausea hair. Has he still probably likely to get
15 touches and who knows? Maybe, you never know with
Tomlin, right?
Is this a, is this a, is this legit?
Or is this just him floating that out there? Like letting us
just like, yeah, just trying to like, yeah. Hey Naz, you just,
we know you are a first round, pick from Alabama, but things
are different. Like,
let's go kind of reminds me of the, the David Montgomery
Khalil Herbert situation to a lesser degree. Way with Nagi
Harrison the David Montgomery role where he is more of
the he's the number one guy, he's in trench, he's getting
the volume but maybe
ultimately jail and Warren is really the man you want to
love? Yeah. It's but maybe we'll see. He definitely needs
to be raw stirred, but it's one of those, like, let's wait and
see, like, yeah, I would one of my roster but I wouldn't want
to start him this week. And
certainly, if you have Nagi Harris, if you invested a, you know,
a late first round, early second round or nausea Harris,
hopefully, you've already had Jalen worn on your team,
hopefully, you've been drinking
as well because I mean,
Clicking on a hope,
dude. Listen. And if you need an excuse to drink, watch
a Steelers game. Yeah.
Oh yes. It's not pretty. All right, we're gonna go to break
when we come back. Keep it open or close it out. It's were at
a bar
continuing with the bottom, right? We are.
That's right. Is the happy hour show
will be back me. Jane Lawrence.
