they thought this is the best photo. They've got this stuff
events, it's up by that photo. Yeah. Alright, let's jump into
some roto world headlines. We all bear up into
Love height, and the first headline
is around Marcus Brown. We've talked about, is out
indefinitely with a foot injury. It's going to miss, at
least a month. A lot of ripples off of this DeAndre Hopkins. He
returns from suspension tonight. Robbie Anderson
will play tonight. We expect but will be very limited.
What are you doing off of the Marquis Brown news I guess?
Starting DeAndre Hopkins and Rondell more.
Yeah, I mean I think you've got to obviously start him.
Look I have Hopkins is a top 20 wide receiver, not a top-10.
Hopefully he knows I'm getting there but last year he was
a top 20 wide receiver on a points per game basis. He in
the five games in, which he got seven or more targets and we
expect them to get that kind of love today.
Obviously, with Hollywood Brown
on the Shelf, he averaged, 17.3, fantasy points per game.
The biggest thing about DeAndre Hopkins last year, was,
he stopped being the volume and Target,
you know, magnet that he was
And instead became
really touched on dependent, which was weird.
Luckily, he was getting the touchdown. He was second and
end zone targets. Last season, he had at least one end zone
Target in eight of ten games this year, as the Saints
secondary travels on a short week to Arizona and they're
banged up.
My expectation is especially
Hopkins coming back off. The suspension
Kyle is going to try to get him the ball early and often,
especially when they're in closed. So yes, if you've been
holding onto Hopkins,
you're starting him. You're not thinking about it. He's right
in there against New Orleans. And then, as for A rondelle
more. I think he's a wide receiver three this week Jo
since he's returned from injury,
he's had six more catches now in back-to-back Wheats in
the three game, since he's come back 23 targets last week,
playing 99% of the snaps. We talked about it. The all
the production that the Human Torch had early in the season that is
now the Rondo more
role in this game. Six different times. This year,
a wide receiver scored at least 15 fantasy points against New
Orleans. I think there's a decent chance especially with
our Run game banged up as well.
Cardinals. That is
that both Hopkins and more could get there today. Yeah,
I think Rhonda almost. There's a chance. He's the guy you want
in Arizona. Going for it because of that upside and
because
Hopkins fell off last year. I do think though like one
but MGM has DeAndre Hopkins. Is receiving yards at 62 and
a half so they're projecting that he is going to be you know,
back to being DeAndre Hopkins. And also, the other thing is
the Cardinal, what are the odds on anytime TouchDown for
DeAndre Hopkins? So
we can bring that up, but I think it was a good chance to
get in the end. I'm just saying. I don't even know what
the odds are. I'm just going to tell you,
someone find out what the odds are on bed, MGM.
Give me the, give me any time TouchDown for DeAndre Hopkins,
plus 125. So it's God plus money. Come on, let's give me
plus, plus DeAndre Hopkins, anytime touchdown at, plus
money thousand percent, the tonight that's happening. The
other thing with Hopkins to
is it the call those are on track to be the one state in
the second half of last season. So they'll running the ball,
a lot less steep fall so they weren't needing to throw as
much. All right. James Conner.
He's got the ribs injury. His Hannibal looks like he's going
to be a game-time decision against the Saints tonight. So
if he doesn't go,
you just have to start in. Oh, Benjamin. And if Connor does
go, then it's the, you've got to start James Conner. I think
I think you're starting the
we're in by mageddon, right? I mean, so right? No Mi Sanders,
no, Dalvin cook in this one? No. Devon Singletary. You know,
some of the other running backs out there are a little bit
banged up as well. So
I don't know that you have the luxury of sitting
a running back, this going to get the majority of work if
Connor is active tonight and my guess is honestly that he won't
be, but
if James Connors active tonight, he should get
the majority of work. In a positive game. Script Cardinals are
favored at home in this one
and he's involved in the passing game and if not again
18 touches last week for you know, Benjamin I know it didn't
show up in terms of fantasy production but the workload is
there. We expect this to be a reasonably high scoring game
against the Saints. Like
you know it's probably like it's probably middle of
the pack off the top, my head, its middle of the pack, in terms of
the The over-under? Yeah, it's 43 and a half, which is
happening. Well, that's about middle of the pack these days
without storing is down.
I was going to say. And if it's been bent down because it
opened it 45, so it's been. It's been down. I might
actually take the over in that one.
Yeah, I mean if it's been bent down to 43. Yeah. 43 and
a half. Yeah, give me the over in terms of total points tonight.
I just, I think you start whoever the Cardinals running
back, is
the nice thing is, it's Thursday. So we'll know. But
yes, if bench if Connors Out start Benjamin, if Connors
active, I'm starting
James Conner today
for whatever it's worth
I did not rank. James Conner, you know Benjamin running back.
24 me as we head into
the happy hour right here. Benching a no Benjamin if
Connor is active. Yes yeah
yes I am. I mean even if he might get more touches because
been Connors not 100%. I just a timeshare. I'm a little nervous
there. Yep.
Michael Thomas is out Jarvis. Landry is out
tonight in terms of the Saints pass-catching situation. It's
really just Chris olave. And then if you need some jajuan
Johnson, maybe it's I tend. Yeah. I mean I
jajuan Johnson would be a desperation Titans dreamer but
that's the I mean honestly, like if I'm streaming a tight
end from this game, I I prefer taysom Hill, honestly, if he's
available in your league, probably isn't this
point. But
to your point with no Thomas and no Landry on the road here
my expectation is you'll see probably more taysom Hill than
you want Jameis Winston
and Andy Dalton both returned to practice.
Dennis Allen saying he's not going to
You'll the quarterback until they
until game time.
My expectation here, it's the Red Rifle.
That's his nickname, Jake Rodgers. Yes, you know,
the Red Rifle, very important
Little M Night, Shyamalan ply from Deming tennis Holland.
There you go, yes. Anyway, so
anyway, my expectation is that you see, probably more taysom
Hill than people that roster Alvin Kamara or Andy Dalton
would like to see.
So if I have to stream one, but yeah, I mean, Arizona has
struggled against tight end so far this year. So if you're
super desperate, But
you know when you're in a you know obviously no God at this
week, right? You know. No Tyler higbee this week
I don't mind it. I don't mind jajuan Johnson as a deep as
a deep deep tight end Titan streamer. I mean I'm trying to
20 though so just to
level set XP XP levels here. Yeah right. And
and you starting Chris I lava in every Lake.
All right. The Kansas City Chiefs are regarded as a strong
Contender to sign Odell Beckham jr. Travis Kelce. Structured
his contract, which doesn't just happen out of nowhere. The
Chiefs are going to try and do something
what? Pick it. Pick up OG obj off waivers, if he is there.
I think and then also
might be time to sell high on Juju Smith, Schuster coming off
that big gun
if you can, sure. Right. I mean
I think it's worth trying. If you have Juju, I wouldn't mind
trying to move him for something even without
the Beckham news, right? The just, I mean, we've talked about this
that like,
Kelsey and Mahomes are
Ali. The only Chiefs that you feel good about on
a week-to-week basis, starting in fantasy football.
I don't want to get into what obj on the Chiefs might mean.
I mean, it's a Thursday. We got a long way to go before he's
healthy enough to play and whether or not he signs with
Casey. I think the important thing is that the teams that
have been rumored the most around Beckham
the Chiefs the bills coming back to the Rams of apparently
the Rams first contract offer you know was embarrassing and
he
stormed off in a huff and blah blah blah by the way, the way
the Ramses. Is going, maybe, you know, a month from now
they're like, you know, we're good, you know, like it ain't
our year
at any rate at any rate. I think what you can take away
from this is that wherever Beckham's, going to go, it's
going to be to a contender with a really good quarterback and
a past friendly offense,
right? He's not. He's not like going like, hey,
hey,
you know, let me know. Yeah. Hey Carol. Yeah. Hey Carolina.
Your will it offer? Suppose one of your right? Yeah, exactly.
Even
even New Orleans, like, hey, let me help block for taysom Hill.
Like He's going to go to a fantasy friendly. Pass friendly
quarterback, really good, quarterback driven team and so
I think that makes you feel good about that.
If you are grabbing obj and stashing him
that when he does come back,
it'll be in a productive fantasy environment. Yep. And
I've aged I went back and forth with Dez Bryant on Twitter
yesterday,
very
opaque from obj. A lot of emojis, lord of the Emojis
Odell Beckham jr.
Only know what separated, to all of those. What is it?
Robot, muscular arm,
right? It's always just like, he's like, I mean,
I'm looking at OB jet like he's, it's like, I don't know
what they owe me emojis and then if he's dipping his
fingers and peace and it's holding out his hand and then
he's,
he's right at he's signing a contract and he's using his
feet, probably to go somewhere and then he's
reckon when he got 27 emojis and he's like, I need four
more. I need the voltage.
I wish I'd seen that before I died. I asked my tenure. Year
old daughter. She did she'd like sit. Yeah she would
Zodiac Killer kind of situation. I'm like yeah. Where
is he going? I think it'll probably be Kansas City if
they're very structured Kelsey's contract. I'd make
them
the baddest. That is certainly, I mean, Kelsey is even said
this and there's an article up on pro football talk that
basically like something's going on. Yeah, so am I helped
you out of a job but they going to get someone,
they're going to get someone. Okay. The pack is have
activated Sammy Watkins from injured service, Amy Wong
kothari. Yeah Sammy Watkins
I don't think this moves the needle
really at all. No no, no, we're bringing it up. Just in case
you are. We're like should. Oh, does this mean anything? In
the answer is? No, it
does not, it does not it Salazar. And then Romeo Dobbs,
in terms of the pass, catchers of the Green Bay Packers,
that's the order
that we are ranking them as well. I have a lizard at
running back at wide receiver, 24 Dobbs running back, I'm
sorry wide receiver, 32
stupid running. Okay,
I've Lazard a24 Dobbs at 32 Lazard by the way,
makes my love list this week.
He's Averaged, he's averaged over 15, fantasy points. A game
over the past four games. He's scoring touchdowns
he's the 15th best wide receiver
in the last month and
as so and good match up with my commanders
as well. So Allen Lazard. Yes, makes my Loveless. I think he's
a viable, our wide receiver three and this one, and I have
no interest in Sammy Watkins fantasy or real-life wise know
and it's quickly. Mac Jones expects the play Monday Night
Football. That actually hasn't had much change that much
without bail. And it was report came out. I think to just be
clear Out this,
if Mac Joan, the report came out. Basically, if Matt Jones
is healthy enough to go, he is the starter. I know some people
thought, hey, Bailey zappy is played very well zappy. Our
there to know as
really and but give credit, where credit's due zappy has
played legitimately well, and congratulations, the Patriots,
like they've
suddenly, they've got two really good quarterbacks under
the age of 25. Like,
you know, the rich get richer. But
but yes, there's no quarterback controversy here. The only
issue is is that is Jones going. Healthy enough to play
on Monday night the expectation. It looks like it's
trending that way,
the issue is that it's the Monday night game their home to the
Chicago Bears and so
if you're in a deeply get to quarterback league
if you're like me
where I'm in a to quarterback League, I'm it's the Scott
Fishbowl, Scott fish bowl which is an insane like 3,000 person
tournament and like it gets super deep. 25-man roster has
12 teams at superflex
leg here, my quarterback in this league and by the way, I'm
undefeated so far,
but
yeah and Biddy but I think this is the week at All ends. I'm
bringing that up now because I'm not going to say it a week.
Here's my
Josh. How's my quarterback? It's pretty good.
But he's on a bayou.
Yeah, Santa by Carson Wentz, who by the way has been very
good in this format. The Scott Fishbowl has weird scoring but
he's actually been pretty good in. This format has been a good
fantasy quarterback.
He's obviously out this week with the injury.
I was not able. I had somebody outbid me for Taylor.
Taylor heinicke,
I Bailey's a p. So I'm desperately hoping Bailey zappy
plays and then I've Desmond Ritter who's not yet
the starter. So like I may not be I don't have a quarterback that
started this week unless Bailey's abdomen is it go
hope for some Jacob Eason
or something. I mean something I may have to pick up a back up
and just hope that they get into the game because I do have
to start a quarterback in this league. And
d..
