Well what's up everyone. Welcome into the Dare Miss Fantasy show with me, your host Tara Roberts. This is the official mail bag show for player profiler. It is Wednesday. September 9th we're going an hour early because we have Wednesday night football. So you get me early so that we don't, because I know you guys want to watch the game. You don't want to watch me. You want to watch the game. And plus we need our questions answered before the games actually start since the NFL decided, hey Tara, and NFL fans everywhere we are going to do a Wednesday night game too. It's been crazy, it's been a hectic week. Everything that I do for Thursday night football is now double. So I've had like double the weird work, double the show sheets, double the lives, double double the fun. Yeah, no, it's, that's fun. I'm joking. But I am here answering your questions and obvious. I've seen some on and the chat already. I'll start off with the big one. I don't see it dropped in the chat yet, but I know that people have questions. Brock Bauer is good lord. Brock Bauer's it's proof I tell you that waiting until the last minute to do your draft injuries

are going to happen regardless. So it is what it is whether you draft it last week, this week, this morning. There we go. Yeah, I just drafted Brock Bauer's on Sunday night. And so I'm a little, I'm a little frustrated and I know you guys are too. The good news is is that one, you know, we do have some level of depth ish this year at tight end, but regardless, Michael mayor is a one for one replacement. He's not Brock Bauer's, but they put him in and they use him as the starting tight end. There's no funny business. He catches passes perfectly fine, utilized as a receiver. We don't have a, you know, they didn't make a, it would have been a nice time for them to have made additional wide receiver one, right? Instead of adding just Jalen Naler in the off season. So it's possible that Michael mayor because their receiving core is still lacking, ends up being the first look in this offense. Ash and Gentie, you know, probably first look, clearly, in terms of check downs, but there you have it. If you need to go make a drastic move,

and there's nothing good on on waivers, like just for instance, let's go through the rankings, because I did go ahead and update them because I'm on it. I'm on it. It's week one. I'm on it, people. You got to be on it in week one. And then you can slack a month later. No, I'm kidding, I'm kidding. Well, let's see. I have moved Michael mayor up to tight end 15. And that's behind, and I, you know, and I debate, I could move them up. The guys that I have for reference, you know, the top of standard and whatnot, but at tight end 10, it's John Johnson, the Mark Andrews, Isaiah likely, Dalton King Cade, Jake Ferguson, and then Michael mayor. I could argue for mayor ahead of Jake Ferguson, purely because of the fact that mayor could be the first look in Jake Ferguson would be the third look, obviously behind, you know, because we have healthy CDLAM and healthy George Pickens. But that's a really good matchup. So I don't know if I can push Ferguson back too far. So I think that's my cutoff. I would play him above Hunter Henry. So if you have any question,

if you're like rushing away, or is he like, oh my god, do I grab Hunter Henry and play him? I would play Michael mayor above Hunter Henry. I would watch Hunter Henry go off. Now I don't think that's going. It could. It could because everyone listening to the remember, this is a podcast. I'm live with you guys on YouTube, but there are people listening in the podcast. So don't ask me any tricky questions about New England that are going to look silly tomorrow. I'm kidding. Ask me whatever. But it's, preferably I would switch to Michael mayor. Like so for instance, right? I have a dynasty league where I roster Brock Bowers. I also happen to roster Michael mayor. I actually drafted Michael mayor first. And then they drafted Brock Bowers. Oh my god. Might as well keep them. So I went ahead and put Michael mayor into my starting line. So that tells you how much I do in fact, trust him. I just went ahead and won for one replace. I have other guys that could go, but no, I'm good with it. Jumping to the chat. What's up guys? We're going to do some mail-back questions and then talk through some stuff. And obviously take as many of your questions as you want.

It's weird. We're an hour earlier. Thank you for joining in guys. Seimas says hi Tara. PPR. Which two of the following do you start? Rebecca Buka, Flowers and Downs? Rebecca Buka full practice. Looking like there's no issues. Now obviously we would like a little a little more reassurance from Tampa Bay of hey, there's no issues. We'll workload blah blah blah. But the fact that he is running around practicing in full, the pierce the amino issues. We see him in drills with everybody else. I feel confident about it. So it is a mecca, a Buka and Flowers that I would start. Flowers has a little injury he's dealing with. I haven't heard any major issues. A brave, a brave, cute, Benito. A brave, cute, Benito says hey, must he rate my team? 10 team PPR. 1QB, 2W, receiver, 2 running back, 1 tight end, 1 flex. And let's see. Yeah, Trevor Lawrence, JSN, ISM. Trevor Lawrence, JSN, Flowers, Parker, Washington, Hampton, Javante, Williams,

Kraft, and then Benches, DJ Morg Mason, Alger, oh, you said that was Mark Andrews, Gain Well, and Concepcion. I like the bench. That's a good bench right there. I'm good with D, you know, and this is a great example of like, you know, I talked about DJ Morg and Startsits and how we can avoid him if you can this week. This is the perfect example of you having the personnel to avoid him. Like I understand, like when I talk about guys like DJ Morg having a bad matchup or she writes having a matchup, it's a bad matchup. It's all relative to whether or not you can afford to bench those guys and if you have better options. This is the perfect example of a team that just straight up has better options. So rather than dealing with DJ Morg with Derek Stingley, just go ahead and slide in Parker, Washington. Yeah, I love that. I love this lineup for you. 100%. Great team. Hey, love it. I will always be very pro to a nice stack there of Trevor Lawrence and Parker Washington. Obviously, I am mildly biased, but at the end of the day, Trevor Lawrence

does have QB1, overall QB1 upside for sure. Super chat from, oh, let's see, um, super chat from Powerhouse. I'm going to try to get to super chats quickly. I'm going to be on my game this season. Powerhouse says, Lost Bowers, Andrews, Mayor, Juan Johnson or Ferguson this week, thanks to Mill. You know, the cutoff for me, you know, it's funny. I read Mayor, I read the guys that I have, like, roughly above, when I think the cutoff of where I would, because I could argue for guys like, you know, Mark Andrews and whatnot or Ferguson, but the one that I know for sure that I do want to start would be, um, Juan Johnson. So I would start, Juan Johnson over Michael Mayor and Mark Andrews and Jake Ferguson. They're all punched together, very close. So at least you have a lot of solid fringe options, but I love the matchup of Detroit, New Orleans, Detroit should, I mean, it's got a super high point total. Love all of the Detroit side. They're going to push aggressive offense. It's in a dome, yay, which means Jared Goff time. And because they're pushing

aggressive offense, New Orleans is going to be pushing back. And the two past catching options there are literally it's so love and Juan Johnson. So it's just a repeat of what we saw last year, for sure. So, um, yeah, I would go with Juan Johnson. Not a post mayor, right? But Juan is my dude. Slim Reaper says double flex 12 team PPR start, excuse me, start Brooks or Mike Evans. I got to go with Mike Evans on that one. Both of them dealing with injuries, Evans, they're apparently is no issue him and his little wide variety of soft tissue issues were soft tissue issues were veteran there, you know, maintenance and whatnot and not wanting to overwork the work him. So it sounds like from what we can tell, there are no limitations. And I feel decent about that because of the fact that they have told us that we are going to have limitations on Kettle. So transparency. Thank you. You know, who is not being transparent and there is no thank you to the giants. Whatever John Harbock not happy with you. We'll talk about that. And

if anyone has just FYI, just John Harbock came out, go look at the video. Good search on X or whatever and search John Harbock and look at the video of him snapping at the reporter saying, I'm not giving up the game plan. I'm not telling you who's starting. I'm not this. So we're not FYI. If you come at me with, you know, hey, can we start Camp Scataboo over such and such. I don't know because the giants refuse to tell us what they're actually planning to do in the backfield. I guess because they think it's going to give them some kind of competitive advantage for Dallas not to know that whether or not it'll be Camp Scataboo or Najee Harris. Whatever floats their boat on that one, but unfortunately, we will have zero clue what we are looking like in terms of snap count heading into that game for Malik neighbors or Camp Scataboo. Now both of them are practicing in full. So at least we do feel positive from that perspective, but just FYI, you will be taking some kind of inherent risk, unfortunately, with them. Thank you for the super chat, slim reaper

from Truth. Oh, Truth Just Sint-Won. Thank you. Appreciate it. And I will go look through. I don't know if you may be Sint-Won and didn't put in the question. I'll try and see if I see that, but thank you. I appreciate that. La Eliza says, Hey, Tara, Swift. Ramondre. Oh, Swift or Ramondre and then Jane Daniels or Baker Mayfield. I still have Jane Daniels tough matchup, right? But I still have Jane Daniels higher than Baker. And then between Swift and Ramondre, this one is one that I've tossed over in my heads, but I am still going to lean Swift on that. Ramondre, I have moved up in rankings because of the absence of Travian Henderson, but we do have to remember this is a really difficult matchup on the ground. So I was actually just doing a betting show with a betting pros and we were talking about this and then I like, right, I'm not fading Ramondre because I like him to get receptions like in the Super Bowl. He was very ineffective on the ground, caught like five passes,

had a receiving touchdown as well. So I think he can get there from a past perspective, but unfortunately I'm not anticipating a lot of success on the ground against that Seattle defense. So I prefer to go with Swift. Kalmanangai is active, but again, Swift is more of, sorry, I won't officially say Kalmanangai is active, but Kalmanangai is practicing full. So I would assume we are good to go on Swift. And thank you, Stephen King for the Super or Super Chat as well. Appreciate it. All right, jumping back to the chats here. It's a few more questions and then I have a mail back show. The pod father sent me a mail back question. So I must do it. Sent me I actually sent him a message saying, Hey, I'm going to go live an hour early for the show. FYI, he was like, and I sent you a message, a mail back question for the show. So yeah, we'll take a look at that. But just to run through a few more questions here because we had some come in right at the beginning, DJ Steven says, Hey, Tara, should I start rice or Quentin Johnson this week? Oh, God, that one is, I love Quentin Johnson this week. So this really does tear me,

but I don't think in good conscience, I can tell you to sit rice over Johnston. Oh, that's tough. I think I would still go with rice. I hate the matchup. I hate the matchup. And it's just about risk level. The safe play is to go with rice, but the big boom play, it is Quentin, Johnston. So if you want to take the risk and put the big because Quentin, Johnston is in multiple line-ups for me this week. But so was her she rice because I have to. So I really, I feel like I didn't answer that is wonderfully clear as I could, but safer play would be rice just based off pure volume, higher upside play with the far better matchup is going to be Quentin, Johnston. But he is always a risk. Just FYI on that one. Linda Wells says, What's up, Tara Squadrons. Thank you. I love that name. J.P.T.s, Trey Tucker about to get 10 to 12 targets. I do think it'll ultimately be Tucker that stands out above Jalen Nailer. I know that we want to be like Tucker, no, great at, you know, coaching regime change, right? So they're both on equal footing. But Tucker probably the bigger

play guy and he was, I think he was dealing with a little bit of an injury, but he seems to be fine. So yeah, I think it's worth taking a little bit of a risk there on him. Easy, he says, Dan girl, you're early. Yeah, I got to get it in before that game. Wednesday night football, Rua Soft, Supreme link says I put mayor in for bours and my only redraft leg drafted him in. Good move. Jav says, Skataboo or Ramandre Stevenson. Ramadre, I would go ahead and start Ramadre. Yeah, again, just talked about the fact I just, I don't know what John Harball is doing. And I don't trust that we won't get some kind of slow ramp up coming up because again, he's coming off, he's got to be coming off a major injury. So if we get a slow ramp up, yeah, I could see where it becomes a little low volume situation. I hate it because you know, it's Dallas's defense, although I will say Dallas's defensive line should be theoretically the strength this year. So it's not necessarily the best match up in the world. I would go with Ramandre. Easy, he says, I need to stash, I need to stash a bench RB between between Kate Mitchell

and Chris Rodriguez. I would go with Chris Rodriguez. Mitchell was already dealing with some little injuries here and there. It was just a friendly reminder that at the end of the day, he is super fragile, super high upside, just super high or fragility from him, unfortunately. So Chris Rodriguez, I mean, for all we know, I am still, I'm still team basal tootin, but for all we know, Chris Rodriguez comes out there and has the more productive day. So before we get to see it in week one, the one that I have to stash is definitely Chris Rodriguez for sure. Alinda Blitz, Hi, Tara in full PPR 10 team, Super Flex league, I need two quarterbacks. Woo, may, golf or Caleb, they're all ranked very similar to me. I have it ranked as the following Drake, may at QB seven Caleb volumes at QB eight, Jared, Gough at QB 12. I would lean towards May and Caleb on that one. May through four

yards decent, the Super Bowl, he always has his rushing upside as well. So he's not a bat, like it's not a great matchup, right? And Seattle is also dealing with injuries in their secondary. Nick, Nick, even Rory is not going to play. So it could be a little bit more vulnerable, expecting a little bit more offense from New England in this one. I do like the game for the over. So yeah, I would still go May and then Caleb hate to stick off. Good week, but Caleb and May. JP Tays is AJ Barner or Greg Dilsich, slim pickings after Bauer, sure is. But I am starting Bauer, oh, I am starting AJ Barner in a double tight end league restart two tight ends. So Barner is my preference. I know people still want Elijah Aroyah, who I really did like as a prospect, to be more of a thing. But I do think that Barner is the guy. So I would go ahead and start Barner. I'm really interested to see the role that how much volume Greg Dilsich can have in that offense,

but they do really seem to like the rookie receivers. They believe in them, even if we don't, and I do believe in Chris Bell. And Caleb Douglas to his credit, he had decent pre-season. So pretty good. How do you know how to perceive catches? So it could work out. And the wide receivers really could be the preference for sure. Let me see here. Let's do some. If I missed any of your questions, feel free to drop them in. I'm down at the bottom just so I can not get too far behind, but feel free to ask them again. If I missed them, Linda Wells says, who should I start this week? Marcian Lloyd or Kyron Williams? Kyron. Yeah, Kyron. Go ahead and do it. I expect a lot of run volume out of the Rams in this matchup. So Kyron like him to be a bare minimum, he's going to have a solid floor, double digit fantasy points. Marcian lied. Lloyd, ultimately, we don't know what we're getting out of him. Right. Maybe the Packers will tip us off. But for me, I'm breaking him

as more of a flex option than a strong high end RB2. So I'm feeling more low in RB2 flex option until we get like if if LaFlora comes out and says, this is my boy, breathe on back. Okay, cool. But until then, I like I want to give it a week and see it. And Kyron is just a lot safer bet. I do like both Kyron and like Corum this week as well. Before I jump in and do some more questions, I do want to do this mail back question real quick here from the pot father. As I mentioned, he sent this to me earlier today on Twitter said, how aggressively should I be plugging at an I-Mitchell into fantasy lineups? This is a very timely question because I'm actually writing about I'm going to write about Garrett Wilson and one of my YouTube videos later this week probably tomorrow. And the one thing that we need to realize is that Garrett Wilson is the target hog of the softens. But at an I-Mitchell is the wider saber too. Kenyansodic has been up and down

in terms for a tight end, right? But Kenyansodic in terms of him starting off being the second look, I don't buy it. Projections are actually showing Mason Taylor as the higher projected player. Neither one very impressive, but until they, you know, can acclimate Kenyansodic into NFL game level because he's been dealing with this or this hernia, unfortunately. So I do think they're still going to maybe take some time to integrate him fully into the offense. Omar Cooper Jr. has been a disappointment. He's been running with second string. The Y receiver two is A-D-Mitchell. And I feel like it's kind of going overlooked. In deeper leagues, I can plug in into my fantasy lineup and more shallow leagues, 10 team leagues, no, right? But in deeper leagues, 14 team leagues, I could turn that direction, especially in a matchup against Tennessee who was still trying, whose objectively awful on defense. And yes, Robert Salah brings some pop to it, but they still got a rebuild and figure that stuff out. So at the end of the day, this is still, it's got a super low point total, but low key. This is one of those games where I think we could end up seeing more

points than you would logically think because you're saying two bad teams, also two bad defenses with at the very least one competent quarterback in Geno Smith and an excellent wide receiver in Garrett Wilson. And we know that Geno also likes the deep ball. So that also favors Adeni Mitchell, who I still think will, you know, his nature as a player because of his deep threat capabilities is very boom bust, right? But at the end of the day, he is the second look in that offense. And Geno, Geno loves a deep ball. So I think this is one where if you're in a deep league and you need to look at like filling out your bench, this is a really good one to keep in mind, because he could have a strong week one. So just keep that one in mind. Jumping back here to the chat, let's see, you know, those pieces in your closet, you find yourself wearing on repeat. Those are the pieces that make getting dressed easy. And that's what Quince does best because you know, I love T-shirts. And then I went to Quince and I found truly sturdy, truly comfortable T-shirts that look great.

Kansas City's secondary has been revamped, gutted, and adjusted and whatnot.

And that was honestly the weakness of them last season. So I look to the receiving core to be Waddle as a solid wide receiver to start. Courtland Sutton as a decent flex option. And beyond that, I just wouldn't trust it with Pat Bryant or Marvin Mangett, Troy Franklin. But I think those two are very startable. David Montgomery, we probably want to give it a week to see. In Lowend, now Granite, he is a low-safed, low-end RB2 that you can play over guys like maybe a Basel Tateen, where we're not 100% sure what the workload is going to be. But I would not start him over guys that have more defined higher upside roles. Like I would start a remodeled over him, a travisity in, Deandre Swift, guys like that over David Montgomery this week. Still startable, but not the most ideal. We got a super flex here from John Nunes, who is the better stash. Oh, Mike Washington,

Jr. or Jonah Coleman. Oh, thank you. Says, you're the best in the business. I appreciate that. Oh, this one pains me because I've talked immensely about how I really do like Jonah Coleman to ultimately add some point take over that backfield potentially, right? Because we know that he is a one for one. He can be a one for one replacement for JK Dobbins. So this is why I also do not like RJ Harvey got no shares of RJ Harvey because when JK Dobbins goes down, they can just plug in Jonah Coleman. And for all we know, Jonah Coleman might have a role earlier as well. That said, I have drafted a ton of Jonah Coleman. But if I had to stash one versus the other, it is Mike Washington, Jr. who I actually loved as a prospect and was so bummed out when they drafted him to Vegas. I wanted to see him go to Seattle or Minnesota somewhere where he could make a starter impact. Ultimately, I don't think like I know people are a little bit panicked that his workload might get very aggressive and take away from match and genty. I don't think it's going to come to

that change of pace makes sense. He is a he's you know, he's super fast, right? He's super big. So he can be he can catch. So he can you be used in a wide variety of ways. I love him as a prospect. So ultimately, because he is the direct handcuffed to Ash and Gentie and if Gentie were to go down, I would feel very confident saying that the lead three down back would in fact be Mike Washington. But if JK Dobbins goes down, how confident am I saying that Coleman will push out RJ Harvey completely? I can't say that. Probably still a committee could ultimately earn favor over RJ Harvey, but those are just speculations, right? Go with the more of the guarantee handcuffed direct one for one three down in Mike Washington. Makes me sad. But yes, let's see jumping back to, okay, that was the last super shot jumping back to the regular chat. Um, in Steven says Daniels or shop to start Daniels. I would still go Daniels terrible match up with Philly, right? So I wouldn't

expect super high upside. I've got Daniels ranked. Where are you at, buddy? QB 11. I can move him back one to QB 12, um, uh, pushing golf up a little bit. Honestly, if I, you know, really ponder it, but it's the rushing upside that always gets me. But he's just a borderline QB one. Shuck, I love this week as a streaming option, but I don't think you have to make that move right now. I would still go with Daniels. He's healthy. Loving life says hi, Tara. Pity to all those Brock Bauer's owners. Yes. And pity to me, which I typically don't take, and this is, you know what? And this is why I always say things always goes the one league that always drives me crazy in terms of draft is my family league. That is where I drafted Brock Bauer's because I will start to do things that I don't typically do. I've had no shares of Brock Bauer's aside from Dynasty, right? I had no shares of Brock Bauer's prior to Sunday night. And I was just looking and I'm like, you know what, man, I don't think I would love a Brock Bauer's build. Let me try it. And that always happens. Whatever

my last draft of the year is I start thinking, you know, I would like to try this. And of course, something always goes sideways. Will I ever learn now? Dallas improm, imps, Dallas Simpson says, George Kiddell or Michael Mayer, I would start mayor over Kiddell. For sure. And the reason for that is that, you know, we know that Kiddell is going to be limited. They've been pretty transparent about it makes sense that they would want to ramp him up and not try to aggressively overload him right off the bat. And in addition to that, we've actually physically seen it with evidence. You look last year when he came back from injury, he came back. He was on the field quite a lot. He was on the field blocking and running. He was not catching passes. So I would not be shocked if that happens again. They get him out there, get him, you know, feeling the game, feeling comfortable running around, blocking nothing too dramatic and asking too much in terms of running from him. And it's just a little disappointing from a fantasy perspective. So I would go mayor over George Kiddell. And then one

more question and we'll take a little ad break from NJ cheese, rice or Tederoa McMillan. I would go Tederoa McMillan over rice. Right. You know, again, rice has the bad matchup. Tederoa McMillan, very safe matchup. So if you want to go with the safer upside, higher upside is Rishi rise from a pure volume perspective. But safer matchup would be Tederoa McMillan. Let's do one more here while I'm pulling up the ads. What I think, technically speaking, I can't remember what my ad is supposed to be. Okay, I've checked and I've seen it. I know what the ad is supposed to be. Okay, from Donovan, Michael mayor or Tucker craft, it is going to be Tucker craft for me. Unlike George Kiddell, it seems like there is not going to be any kind of issue in terms of a slow ramp up. So I'm okay with going mayor right off the bat. Before we move on to more questions, I'm just going to do a little quick break here a word from our sponsors and talk about the dynasty dominator app.

Ooh, Trages came in on my phone. Let's see. Should I make it? I don't know. I want to make a move now though. I don't want to wait to get back to my computer. What do I do? Oh, we have the Dynasty Dominator app that scores a trade based on our lifetime value rating at playerprofile.com. We also give you just a price lookup tool with the ADP to say, what is this guy really worth? And the app has a player comparison tool to juxtapose the advanced metrics of two players. This is five dollars in the app store. That's it. So we want you to do deep research on playerprofile.com. We also want you to be able to make moves in the moment. So go get that dynasty dominator now. It's in the app store. It's on Google Play and you can thank me later. I'm about 99% certain that there is a promo code. Terra, just my name that can get you like 25% off if you want to. I'd like 99, 99, 98% certain. If you want to get that because I lose, like just for reference guys, when I'm talking about like apps or websites or stuff like that, they are ones

that I legitimately use for my research. It's funny. Sometimes in comments, there's a certain crowd that will be like, oh, she's just guessing she doesn't know anything. It's like you think I don't do like intense research and just like pull stuff out of thin air. So tools can be extremely helpful for helping you throughout your fantasy season. So if you would like 25% off that you can use Cotera to ERA and shout out to Kay. Kaycon say in the chat with the super chat there. I appreciate that was very generous. You're awesome. Thank you so much. I jumping back here to the chat. In your question was would Waddle would you go Waddle? Yeah, I would. I feel in, let me say for reference. Let me show you guys where I have Waddle. I have Waddle at wide receiver 18. That is a pet of guys like, and this one is close, right? Because I do actually like Devonte

Adams for, and anytime touch, just like Devonte Adams a lot, right? Anytime he's healthy, I'm good with putting him on the field. So if you've got Devonte Adams here because we him and HOD about him in the off season, it's literally like a lot of these guys like a lot of the older guys that we talked about are the injury risk guys. You got to recognize like just because we drafted them as wide receiver twos or threes isn't the output that they will actually put up on a regular basis because of the upside that they ultimately show, right? So I have Waddle above a Devonte Adams, a Malik neighbor definitely above a Malik neighbors. Teteramic Millen, Jameson, a Mecca Buka for right now, but I have not adjusted that since the updates that a Mecca Buka full practice, there seemed to be no issues with him, but they would be very close, very similar to me. I don't hate to match up with Kansas City. Again, they've had a lot of changes in their secondary. I think it's going to take them some time to adjust. They also Kansas City on the opposite side of the ball, dealing with some issues in terms of injuries and the offensive lines. So at the end of the day,

I do think that Denver will win this game and hopefully not by such a significant margin that we end up with a situation of it's a blowout and they lean on the ground game, but I think Kansas City will keep it relatively competitive in the past game should be fine. Super chat here from overcome 70 times seven. So starting May tonight over a golf shootout, I would still start May. It's close. They're both top 12 quarterbacks for me this week, but I do still have May higher, just because we did see good ball like May through 40 plus attempts in the Super Bowl. And these are obviously two different teams, but if anything, Seattle's defense from a secondary perspective would be a little bit lower than what it was last season because of injuries and loss of Tyree Wellen. So I would expect May to still be in the 40 plus range and throw for volume as well. Had nearly I think a little over 290 passing yards in the Super Bowl. So we should be good for volume

rushing upside as well. So I'm still sticking with May despite the matchup, right? Because we do have the injuries to the Seattle secondary. So we're starting May tonight. He's a top 10 option. He's my QB seven on the week. Drake May don't let us down, but also don't score too much because I do have Seattle to cover the spread. So let's not get carried away here, but also technically shoot. Now this is the thing about fantasy and betting. I'm starting a Drake May and AJ Brown's stacks. So yeah, I do need that sucker to hit from that perspective for the sake of my fantasy teams jumping back to the chat here. Let's see from Reynolds Reynolds icon. Reynolds icon says mayor shultz or Terrance Terrance Ferguson, right? Yeah, yeah. There's so many Ferguson's Jesus Christ. The names, the willises, the Ferguson's, it's going to mess me up so the loves. Now we got two J loves. I'm not doing this this season. I'm not Terrance Ferguson. I would start mayor

over both of them. I'm interested, you know, I don't, you know, shultz is someone interesting to roster and in deeper leagues for a streaming option because I love K-Shon Booty. I like Jela Nol, but ultimately it could be shultz. That's the second look behind Nico Collins, but mayor would be my preference. Dr. Sun says it's finally here. Looking forward to some more lives and fantasy football success. Yes. I actually was just arranging my schedule for Sundays and I am going to try, did not do this last season guys, but I am going to try this season to do Sunday lives. It's tough for me because I have contractual obligations to do like three live shows that are not on my YouTube channel, but I am going to try to do live shows on Sundays, well, so we can do those start sets. But at the very least we have this show every single week normally at 8 p.m. EST, but moved up because of the game. Some more super chats from one thing I wish I could easily see what I've read and sometimes

it takes me a second to read because I'm like, oh, did I read that? Did I see that one? From Powerhouse, what's your opinion on K-Shon Junkins season long? I am pro K-Shon Junkins. I would say more pro K-Shon Junkins than a lot of my fellow fantasy analysts because I think last year what we saw was the baseline. I think that was it. That was like the baseline. That was the floor because I understand, like the offensive situation at quarterback is not good. I don't believe in sadly, you know, Clemson alumni of whatever, but I don't believe in Deshaun Watson at this point. So hopefully my hope is that you know, Shudder Sanders is easier to mold from Todd Monkin because Todd Monkin is a very experienced college coach. So he, you know, from an offensive perspective. So working with and developing young quarterbacks is something that is, you know, very within his wheelhouse. We saw a clear leap when he came over and was coaching Lamar. So I liked Todd Monkin as a quarterback's coach. So hopefully you can get in here and, you know, coach shoulder up and get us, you know, offensively

flowing. So I think last season what we saw from Junkins is the baseline. I think the worry people has is that the defense won't keep games as close as they did last season. I love Jared verse. He's not here. He's not here. Miles Garrett, but he is very good. So this Cleveland defense is still going to be a well above average defense game should be relatively close as long as Deshaun Watson's not aggressively turning the ball over. So we should see decent volume for Quinten or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Quinten, or Judkins. He has goal line preference. Yes, we will have some Dylan Samson involved on passing downs, but we'll still get, you know, some check downs for Junkins. It's not going to be a complete like just phase out of the game. So he's a very safe low end RB2 for me. I just don't know if the offense is good enough to push him up to consistently being an RB1, but I drafted him in some leagues as an RB2 where I was pushing back a little and I feel comfortable, you know, with him as a floor play for sure. Hopefully he can get there and be a little bit higher for us. Hopefully. From Taki, Taki, Taki, Taki, Taki says

ETN or Stevenson this week, I do have ETN higher. Not the most ideal map, but neither one of them, honestly. Neither one of them has the most ideal matchup quite frankly. ETN, you know, unfortunately, you know, Detroit's run defense, the way I see that game shaping out is that I'm not pushing ETN back too much in rankings. He's my RB17, so it's very within the realm of where we're drafting him. The reason for that is, well, I do still feel like one, it's a difficult matchup and it's going to be, you know, shoot out, as was mentioned before. We're going to have Detroit pushing aggressive pass volume, Tyler, Chuck and Chris O'Lava are going to be pushing back, right? But they're going to be able to move the ball against that secondary and provide some goal and opportunity. So I think he can still get a touchdown and it's not a checkdown heavy offense, but if they're playing from behind, we should get like a just a little bump up for him. So he's still a fine RB2 this week. I would take that rather than going with Stevenson,

just because it is by far the more difficult matchup overall. Stevenson, that is. Tell me back to the chat. Why, why, why are, Kauai Tyler says, which of Big B or Keaton Mitchell should I shot or should I drop from air? Ooh, you have Bauer's, appreciate your smooth meter. Thank you. I would drop, which I hate to say this, but I do think I would drop Keaton Mitchell. It's tough for me to drop Tank Bingsby knowing the upside he has. Like if we're looking for standalone value, period. Keaton Mitchell has more potential for standalone value because of his, big play, boom play, third down, pass catching upside, right? It can take just a few touches for him to pop off and have some standalone value. But he's not the direct handcuff to a Mori in Hampton. So apples to apples, unless I was in a really deep league and potentially needed Keaton Mitchell in

my starting lineup. The one that I would rather have on my bench long run would be Tank Bingsby because in the event, Sequan goes down with an injury, Big B would step into a massive workload. So it's Big B long term. Yeah, unless you're in a super deep league. Like both of them, but you know, long term, you got to think about it. Woody, Woody, 14 MLB says, drop one. Chris Godwin, Quentin Johnston or to John Strip, drop one. No, I can't. Woody, Woody, we can't drop them. Good God. We can't drop any of these. You got another option? I mean, in practice, it would have to be struggling. But I hate to drop any one of them. But yeah, of those three would have to be struggling because Godwin is the clear second look, possibly pushing for first with a mecca, Ibuka, right? In an offense that does lean pretty pass heavy,

doesn't use the tide end. So Chris Godwin, as long as he's healthy, has a lot of upside. I love Quentin Johnston. Love Quentin Johnston absolutely could not drop him off of what again. This is a guy who I think over this week and next week as well, next week's matchup is against Vegas, I believe. Over the next two weeks, he is going to have super high upside matchup. So I could not drop him. So if you got to drop one, it does have to be Strip Lings. Oh, okay. And you put you came again and you said you could drop Jonah Coleman. Yeah, I would go ahead and drop Coleman. I love Coleman too. But you got to keep those receivers. You got to keep them. Especially because again, with Strip Lings with Mike Evans and his hamstrings, just always at risk. Not good. Not good. So yeah, that would drop Coleman. Oh, and I hate to do that, but I would. J Slay FF says my message keeps getting shit. I'm sorry. It's because I'm jumping back and forth. I'm sorry. Let's see, but I've got it now. If I miss your message, ask it again. Just put it

in the chat again. I keep jumping back and forth. Your question was, who else besides me is starting Gidari and Price tonight? You know, ironically. Again, I was just doing a bed and show like an hour ago. And we both like with Joe Madden and we both very much like Gidari and Price a lot more than what the projections are showing. I think the projections are low. They're projecting him for like 50 yards. It doesn't make logical sense when you look at the picture. Actually, let me, like I think I have a bolt up. Let's see. So Emanuel Wilson is projected for 16 yards. George Holani is projected for 24 yards. And Gidari and Price is projected for 51 and a half yards. If you add that up, that logically doesn't make sense for how many rushing yards Seattle would have

in this matchup and a matchup where they are going to still continue to lean on the ground game. Just because Kenneth Walker has gone does not mean that all of a sudden they're flipping philosophies and they're going to be pass happy with Sam Donald chucking the ball 40 times. Like, they're still going to lean aggressively on the ground game. The numbers don't make sense for the projections. So I do think D'dari and Price is being undersold and should have a much stronger game. Then what we're what the projections are showing. Dark Empire says PPR golden or dobs. I would go with dobs. Go ahead. And you know, I thought about I, ironically, I haven't gotten. I haven't gotten as much green Bay questions as I thought that I would. And I am seeing I was looking and seeing that Reed might be a popular flex play this week, which is theoretically makes sense if you're thinking that lockdown coverage and a difficult defensive matchup could lean a little bit more towards Christian Watson and open things up in the slot for Jane Reed. But Matthew golden is right there as well. He is playing X receiver. So

a little bit different of a usage compared to long. You know, I'd say last year, but he'll probably have the most volatile production of the group. But in PPR, I would still lean towards dobs, but just keep golden in mind as somebody to watch and see what the usage, what his a dot if we're getting, if it's purely deep balls or if we're getting a little bit more varied usage from him, just kind of gauge what the usage will be throughout the season. But dobs for right now go ahead and put them in your lineup. Dark Empire says drop McMillan for yeah, or for baller Douglas or just pick up Malik Davis. I would take it. I would, it's tough because McMillan is going to start although to be fair, my thought process was is that I do think ultimately Ted Hurst might push ahead and be a better fit. But you know, they do like Jalen McMillan a lot. So maybe I'm wrong on that. I could fully well be wrong. And maybe that's my bias is loving Ted Hurst as a prospect coming through. But I would drop McMillan because ultimately,

I do think third look in that offense behind Ameka Buka and Chris Godwin. And I like the potential for Bell to be the first look for Malik Wallace. Obviously, I know, you know, lesser offense, riskier situation, but I really like Bell as a prospect and I think you could be something special. So I would take that chance that maybe Bell can be a breakout rookie. Zee Shoe says, Hey, Tara, should I start Parker Washington or Christian Watson this week? I have, honestly, I've talked about my head. I can't remember which one I have higher. I want to say Christian Watson is. Well, no, it might be Parker that I have higher. No, I have Christian Watson two spots higher. Christian Watson two spots higher. Man, I don't know if I should, well, you know what? This might be a live rankings adjustment. Am I being a little too aggressive on that one? No, consensus has Watson at 24 and Parker Washington at 26. Oh, I didn't know I was right. I'm

consensus with that one. Okay. So we'll stick with Christian Watson. But man, that's close. Isaac Moore says, start Drake May or Jared Goff. Drake May is the one that I still have higher. I hope you guys can't hear my kids in the background. I think they're battling over Fortnite and arguing. And usually there are a lot more calm and reserved. But apparently this game must just be heated because I can hear them flipping out over a game. And they're not even right outside of this room. So very interesting. Amazon paint. I deserve that after I praised them for being super good in my last show. So, Carmically, I think I had that coming. Amazon pancake says, would you rather have Monty or price rest of season price? Yeah. And it's I know. But at the end of the day, I don't think that Monty people are underestimating the presence of Woody marks. And so this is not a 100 percent Monty three down back 24 seven situations. So he's in much of a committee situation as price

and one has a better offense. And that is Seattle. So price is the one that I would prefer long term. You know those pieces in your closet you find yourself wearing on repeat.

Now go to quince.com slash player. Linda Wells, golf or Jared, sorry, golf or Trevor Lawrence this week. I believe I have Trevor Lawrence higher. But let me double tech where I have Lawrence. Yeah, I have Lawrence two spots higher. Very close. But I have Lawrence two spots higher. Classic GD says Tuton or Lloyd, half PPR, please help. I have Kyron and B. Hmm, you've Kyron and B. John. But you're good on Kyron. B. What is it like your flex spot that you're looking for? So you're I mean you're super solid with Kyron and B. John. So if you're looking for your flex specifically, I would lean towards. So it's possible that Green Bay and Matt LaFlor because he tends to be a little less dogmatic than what we're like a John Harball like we were talking about earlier who was refusing to give us information. It's possible that Green Bay gives us a little bit of a heads up in terms of what the workload is going to be. So if they come out and say that Lloyd is going to be the lead back,

I would go with Lloyd. If they come out and say hot hand or anything like that, I would just go ahead and go with Basel Tune. So it's literally just based on what we hear from Matt LaFlor in terms of what their running back room is going to do. And I think he will be a little bit more transparant. Kay Hamilton says PPR, craft or pits. I have pits higher. Can we double check? Yes, I have pits higher. Henry Odom says Watson or Quentin Johnston in the flex. Henry Odom, you're killing me on that one. I do have Watson higher, but I love Quentin Johnston so much this week. But it's Watson that I would go with just from a pure safety perspective as a guy who is definitely the widest saber one. I got some super flex chats here from Powerhouse. Yeah, let's make sure I did the other one. Yeah, I did the ET and our savings. And yes, so Powerhouse says Christian Watson or Luther

burden season long half PPR season long. I do have burden higher by a smidge just because of the repeated injury history from Christian Watson. If it were all things equal and I didn't have that fear, honestly, I could lean towards Watson as the guaranteed wide receiver one. But unfortunately, just the lingering thought of the fact that he every single year has failed to truly make it through a season. I do have to go with burden there. That's the only issue, the only issue. And then thank you, Powerhouse says go team with the super chat. All right, jump into the chat again. Marvin Tolbert says, Kittle or likely this week, likely. Yeah, sorry. We know that Kittle is going to be ramped up. I can't trust it right off the bat here. So they've been, they've communicated

it to us. We should listen. Now every now and then they'll say that someone's limited and they end up having a great day. But just he'd what the team is saying he's coming off in a keelies. He didn't play preseason. Probably going to ramp the boy up. generic says PPR Evans or Godwin and then Kittle or Strange. Did I do this? No, I don't think I did. I've seen the Kittle or Strange combo, I think before though, from somebody else. Strange over Kittle. That's I would still yeah, even that far back. I would still go Strange over Kittle. And then Evans or Godwin, this one is close for me, but I do have Evans higher thing. Where's where's Godwin? Godwin is well, geez, where do I have Chris God? Oh, no, I actually have that hasn't been adjusted since the news of Evans being 100% okay. I have I would go with Evans over Godwin. Evans over Godwin. Let's do one more quick

mailbag question here. And that is how high are you ranking? Marcian Lloyd this week and will he be the lead back again on that one? I'm still way I think that Matt LaFlor will give us some kind of transparency. But for right now, because Lloyd is one of the most commonly asked Lloyd or this questions that I got in some of my live chats earlier today. Right now, I have Marcian Lloyd at RB27. So he's shoved in the range of guys that are a little bit more of question marks. So I would play him over the Jonathan Brooks and Chubahobber combination. I would play him over a Tony Pollard. I would play him over Eureka Doudal. I would play him over JK Dobbins, right? You can push back even further than that. And but again, if we would get some kind of news from Matt LaFlor, that this is who they view as their three down back and try to technically speaking, they've spoken so positively about him in the past. I think we can go ahead and feel confident, but you just never

know in terms of what kind of involvement they'll have from Chris Brooks, if they might want to use Caleb Johnson a little bit. If we could get Marcian Lloyd confirmed as the lead back, I could move him up as high as RB23. So still fringe low end RB2. Very startable this week as a flex option in my opinion. Jumping back to the chat, you actually go put up my banner here. I always forget to put my banner back up after I go back and forth. Okay. Banner is back up. Not that it matters because the comments are over it. Jumping back to the chat. Marvin Tilberd says, Dmitry Adams, Michael Wilson or Parker Washington this week, it would be Devon Devon, that I have higher. Yeah. Devon, well, let's see if we're Parker. Yeah, no, no, I've got Parker, I've got Demonté Adams higher than Parker Washington this week. John says, RB question in Tutan or Bucky, I would go with Bucky. You guys know that I was not pro Bucky draft season, but in terms of just giving it a week to figure

out what is going on. Like I know other backs will be contributing in Bucky's backfield, but at least Bucky will have the bulk of the carries, right? Whether or not he is the guy at the goal line, how much can it gain well is leaching into the past volume, right? Those are questions, but at the end of the day, I trust that he's going to get 10 plus carries and be the lead back, even 12 plus really. And they used him a lot towards the end of the season in terms of pure volume. It was just that all of the leaching away at the goal line and past catching was really limiting that upside. So I would go with Bucky over Tutan and Rico as your RB too, for sure. From El Maverick, full PBR, Flexbot, Christian Watson or Price tonight. I do like Price a lot, but I would still go with Christian Watson and full PBR because I do think that past volume is going to go to George Hullani. But I don't, I'm not convinced the goal line touches are going to go to

George Hullani. Remember that was a beat reporter? Those were not words out of Seattle's mouth. It was going to be careful. Words that come from beat reporters are not always words directly from the coach's mouth. So I always got to like delineate kind of what, who exactly was that coming from, or was that an interpretation that you're hitting us with? Thank you, JT, or JT Alfred. I really appreciate that. That's sweet. Thank you, generic. Amazon pancakes, who is your favorite sleeper this year? You know, I hate to be rather, well, you know what? Actually, I can get spicy. I was going to say Jalen Coker, which is on brand for me, right? But I can get spicier and I can push it back to Denzel Boston. I like Casey Concepcion and Denzel Boston, but obviously Casey Concepcion went a lot higher in drafts than Denzel Boston. But ultimately, Denzel Boston is someone who I, I love, and it may not be his year this year. I tend to sometimes I'm one year early. Like,

I was one year early on Chris Brown, and then all in on Chris Brown the next year and lo and behold, correct, right? So it might take a year, but I'm still willing to draft Denzel Boston. And I've got him on benches and multiple leagues, dynasty leagues as well. So, and if he's out there on waivers, or you know, he'll be one of those players where he could be dropped early in the season, because there might not be a lot of successful past volume out of Cleveland, but never underestimate the potential for rookie receivers to progress and take advantage, even in poor offenses, as the season goes on. So Denzel Boston is one of my favorite sleepers. I'm so preferential to him, like loved him as a prospect. No offense to Casey Concepcion, love him, drafted him, got some too, but just sleeper, deeper than Concepcion, Denzel Boston. ETW Burns says two flex PPR. Dinarian Price, Monty, Christian Watson, DJ Moore, which too?

You know, I might go ahead and go with Price and Watson. I've definitely go with price, I feel comfortable going price over Monty. And between Christian Watson and DJ Moore, the problem is that, and you don't have, you could go both running back, you can go both wide receiver quite frankly, but I do think I feel good about Dinarian Price, even in full PPR, just from a nice, safe baseline floor. DJ Moore has a terrible matchup against Derek Stingley, so that concerns me. I don't know if I talked about it earlier a little bit, but just keep in mind that Khalil Shakir is dealing with an injury, Khalil Shakir plays in the slot. So if Shakir is out, the next man up would be Rookie Skyler Bell, which I don't know if they would immediately trust the Rookie with heavy volume. So what we could see is a shift of DJ Moore being put into, because he's versatile, he can play the slot, right? So maybe just a little bit of more versatility

of DJ Moore moving him around, trying to do anything they can to free him up and get the ball to him. So it's a touchy situation. I might just lean towards going with Christian Watson as a safer bet, because while it's a difficult matchup, it's not as difficult as Derek Stingley. So, it's just a Derek Stingley issue, no offense to DJ Moore. He's just such a good shutdown corner. El Carlito says, 12 team, happy PR. Okay, Hertz is a quarterback, Berkeley, Kenneth Walker, Bucky, Brooks, Coleman at Wider Sever. I like that. Sorry, I'm running back. I like that running back room. Wider Sever is a Devante Smith, Zayflowers, Digs, Debo, Matthew Golden, K-Shambuity, Ted Hurst, and then your Titan is TJ Hawkinson. You're super deep at running back. I think that you can afford to sell either Bucky or Brooks and upgrade to add an additional

receiver. And then I don't love Hawkinson as a start. I think you can probably start him and then if it doesn't work out in terms of, because it's possible that Kylin Murray does love himself targeting Titans. So it is possible that we could get a TJ Hawkinson resurgence. But if that doesn't work out, I think there's plenty of streaming options that you could go with. But, and for reference, I mean, you might not want to get rid of Hawkinson because ultimately, maybe that's a you need to starter starter every single week. But honestly, I would start Michael Mayer over TJ Hawkinson. But regardless, back to it, you're deep at running back. One of those can be sold off for some more depth because you're good with Devante Smith and Zayflowers for your starting receivers. But you're hoping that Digs and Debo can really step up and be consistent second looks in their offense. And they're just, you know, a little bit older. So I might sell off one of those running backs and try to take advantage of getting a little bit deeper at wider seabird. But overall, I think it's a really good time. If you were looking to improve it, that would be the move that I would make.

Supreme link says Evans or Watson full PPR. I, good God. These the Evans questions are like, oh God, it's bothering me because I am very nervous about the overall volume that he is going to see. They say he's good. I just, and just a wee bit. Like when he's on the field and he's healthy, he's excellent, right? And we don't have, and we have George Kittle, but we don't really have George Kittle because he's going to be limited. So we know that they're going to need targets going to Mike Evans. It's just, I do have Christian Watson higher. It's just, yeah, it's just really just the fear of what his actual usage will be as he's been dealing with these little nagging injuries that has them a little bit lower for me in rankings. We'll do a few more questions and then we'll head out because we got a game to watch. Yeah. Crown Don says have PPR, Terry McClure and Orquette and Johnston. I still have Terry higher.

Let me see if I can rapid fire slightly. I'm not good at rapid fire, guys. I'm not going to lie. Lonely, or lonely stoner, flex 12 man PPR Harvey Godwin Alger Godwin. Marvin Tolbert flex. Quinchon Judkins Tyler Alger Parker Washington Michael Wilson Parker Washington. John flex Pickens Metcalf Monty. Pickens. Marvin Tolbert also says get those likes up. Thank you. I always forget to ask for likes and subscriptions like subscribers that would that would help. That always helps me. I'm a one man ban here. It helps out the channel. And Den John said don't forget to hit subscribe button. Y'all are kind. Thank you for the reminders for people. Tony says flex options. No, not our moderate. Why do I read that? Rice Brooks JMC or JCM. I think I'm getting tired. It's been a long day, guys. Rice Brooks JCM downs or QJ. QJ. Yeah. You're leaning QJ. Cardinals defense. You're on the right track. 100%. That is the one

that I would go with if you're you know you're feeling the risk right. I mean rice can be the safer option because of pure volume right. If you want to go with the safe option, safe option is rice. But if you want to go with that high upside swing, it is QJ. I'm very pro QJ. I've made several Quentin Johnston videos this week. So I do feel very confident in that. But again, rice is safer. Just FYI, there is inherent risk with QJ. Kenny, but I like I like risk. Kenny, do I replace a dunesay with Michael Wilson and King Cain flex? Wait a little bit. Let's see how serious this injury is. Ultimately, I would prefer to start a dunesay. But it depends on what the clearance is. And luckily, you don't have to make that decision right away. But personally, between the two, I would replace with Michael Wilson. So, and then we'll do one more question here. And then we've got to head out from Western goods. 12 man PBR for lamb. Zay Watson, Parker Washington QJ Pollard, lamb and Zay for sure. And then

Christian Watson. And the question Watson and Parker Washington when gets me because I have them so close to each other and Quentin Johnson is not that far behind either. Honestly, so. But Watson is the direction I would go. Elco, Elco, Elco, Elco, Elco, Elco, what more here? Start Patriots, jets or raiders dst. That's, woof, woof. This is a good, I believe I have the Patriots defense the highest of that group. No, no, no, no, no, I don't. I have the raiders highest of that grouping. It's raiders or jets. I go back and forth on that one. It's tough. I'm not going to lie. God, I lean a little bit towards, let me actually, let me let consensus help you out here because I think it should theoretically be jets. Yeah, yeah, let's go jets. Let's go jets. I'm actually going to adjust that ranking and go jets on that one. All right, that wraps things up. We're about

to be at kickoff. So I appreciate you all tuning in and coming in an hour early with me. Appreciate you guys as always.
