But let's jump into some NBC
roto world headlines,
very well. Your T-shirt last week saying
making Carson Wentz. Great again,
we got to get it registered.
As you say, I need a new teacher that says, make Carson
Wentz whole again. Yes. Because he has a broken finger on his
throwing hand,
we expected. He's going to be out four to six weeks.
So firstly, how does this affect the key
for the Commander's out? There was that, you know, that he
traction a finger has undergone successful sir. Surgery. But,
but they just announced this just in here as expected as
I tweeted out yesterday Taylor heinicke. Officially from
the Commander's, I'm reading here, an announcement Taylor
heinicke. Will start at quarterback this Sunday vs
Green Bay
hashtag GB versus Washington. Hashtag HTT C helps
the Commander's hail Victory. So Taylor heinicke is your
starting quarterback
for your Washington commanders. I know you love them. Look
commanders.
If there's a positive here is that the offense is
Fantasy friendly, like
through six weeks in the NFL, even with that brutal
Bears game. Last week,
the Commander's, our top six in the NFL and pass attempts per
game, like they're throwing, you're throwing Taylor
heinicke. Was a top, 20 quarterback in fantasy points
per game, last year. And that was without John Dodson without
Curtis
Samuel without Logan Thomas. Like, I'm much worse team last
year, I think so.
Look hide-a-keys a little bit inaccurate But
ultimately I think, you know, I think he's a viable streamer.
If you're in a deeply, if you're in a to quarterback,
Leaguer to superflex league in your in your in a 12 team
league, if you're looking here,
look, jaelynn hurts is out this week. Matthew Stafford, Kirk
Cousins, Josh hollan, like four quarterbacks, you know, other
than Stafford three quarterbacks that are very
viable fantasy starters
and and then Stafford who's like, a borderline starter
plus, whence
went to has been a good fantasy quarterback this year, even He
hasn't been necessarily the most consistent NFL
quarterback. So I do think and again we'll get into
a quarterback waivers here in a little bit but I think heinicke
is a viable.
He's a good enough backup that I think is a viable streamer in
the right match up Jay and I also think to the extent that
you care for your pass. Catchers Terry. McLaren Curtis
Samuel,
he is good enough to be able to get the ball to those guys.
Yep, he's trying. That he can put up garbage time yards, turn
McLaren last year, was wide receiver 25. I think if he
could be wide receiver 25 going forward. That's a A win
by from what he started so far.
The command as a five and a half Point dogs to
the broken Green Bay Packers in Washington on Sunday. So
expected, they'll be throwing and we look at Tara maclaurins
staffs with Taylor heinicke in the 2021 season get 7 plus
targets and 11 of the 16 games play
11 plus and 4 of those game
for games are 90, plus receiving yards
and weeks, 124 term, Koren was wide receiver 6 in fantasy,
putting up around 20 points per game. Yeah, I mean, he McLaren
was all they had last year because they didn't have dots
and Samuels hurt. So I don't expect him to
get as much of a
narrow target tree this year with the offense. The
commanders are running but certainly there's a connection
there with heinicke. And McLaren McLaren is still
the number one wide receiver, so you're likely starting
the chlorine this week against Green Bay. Let me put it this
way.
I don't think the change from went to heinicke, would be
a reason to bench McLaren. If you'd be, if you'd been
planning on starting him this week, same with Curtis Samuel.
Okay, let's jump to the Cardinals the news, bro. I've
just off we go to offer yesterday that they had
acquired the much-maligned Robbie Anderson from North
Carolina. Panthers and Marquis Brown is reportedly out six
weeks with a foot fracture and we have a little sound from
Kliff Kingsbury on that situation.
They Anderson trade, a direct result of wearing the you
working at Hollywood.
Yeah, I think so
had an opportunity to get a guy,
bring some speed and
that Dynamic that Hollywood has and
So we'll kind of see where I fit in and just for the long
term with guys getting her, we need
some more
white outs in here, very realistic.
Hope that Henderson could be available to play Sunday on
Thursday.
Yeah, I would say so
we'll get him in see what we can fit in once again,
without getting on the grass actually, going full speed. We
want to make sure that he's confident he's out there.
So if he does play, it would be a limited package.
Yeah, yeah, probably understand what? You're picking up,
Robbie, and us now. Okay,
that's done. No.
Like
so I did a video right after with the news broke and I did
whatever, just like a selfie video and I basically said my
take on, this isn't that, you know, suddenly, Robbie
Anderson,
you know, has a has a big jump in value, although he does.
I mean,
I got a caveat this.
There's a jump in value for Robby Anderson just because
he's leaving the Blank show that is Carolina and
the quarterback situation there, and he's going to Kyler's
Marie,
right? That's it, that's a better situation for any wide
receiver. So there's an uptick I suppose in value for Robby
Anderson. Having said that, I'm not going to pick him out. Like
DeAndre Hopkins, is back.
And I said, what I said in the video, as I said, my assumption
is, this means Marquis Brown who was spotted in a walking
boot after the game is more hurt than we thought suddenly
a bunch of different reports about an hour. After I posted
that came out, there was concern that Marquis Brown had
suffered a
season-ending Jury more tests revealed that it wasn't at that
severe. So, great news there. But as you heard, like,
probably four to six weeks there
on Hollywood, Brown will see,
obviously, he's not going to play this Thursday night
against the Saints.
You heard the, the sound there from? Kliff? Kingsbury saying
that if Robby Anderson's actively be small package of
plays? I
even with Hollywood browned out,
you've still got DeAndre Hopkins back. You've got Rhonda
Moore, who's getting a ton of touches Zach, ertz is a big
part of this passing attack. They use the running. In
the passing game here
could Robby Anderson catch a long one for a touchdown three
times, the rest of the way. Sure, of course and have
a useful fantasy day but the eyes the idea that where you need
know where those games are coming, I don't know.
Like, like the fact of the matter is is that
if this game against the Saints were three weeks from now,
you might think about it just because you're like the Saints
can be beaten deep. We saw with Chase last week like we've seen
it with the Seahawks two weeks ago. Like you can throw deep on
New Orleans and so if Anderson's Running a ton of
snaps but like, it's just such a
narrow window here where he's probably gonna get like 10 snaps.
And you're hoping he gets deep for one of them on Thursday,
night against the Saints. I I'm not rushing to pick up Robbie
Anderson. I think his I think he'll be, it's a better NFL
move for the Cardinals than it is
for Fantasy managers. Yep. And look lost your calamari through
the Bold ape. Almost as much as anyone who's 15 percent of his
passes went 20 yards down field or more and you just think like
all right well Kyle Anderson throwing day probably Anderson
a deep threat but also you have to factor in that
Robbie Anson isn't That good at the moment and also
just because he's going to be running deep. Like if they
signed DeSean Jackson of the Sean Jackson had a for. It
doesn't mean you rushing to pick up DeSean Jackson so
I do think that with DeAndre Hopkins coming back. Yes Marcus
Browne who has more Targets this year than Justin Jefferson
or jamaat chase.
Those targets have to get reallocated somewhere,
but it's going to go to Hopkins.
It's going to go to a guy. We're going to talk about in
Rondell more as well. There are a lot of bodies on that team.
