Hit us up and let us know how bad we suck getatus@fantasyiisland.com
Got a line-up question...just get at us via email Here
Welcome to Fantasy Island. Fantasy Football Edition. That's right. It's a sit and starts for week 10.
We're coming at you Sweet Tea, Bombo, RW King, all of us here, ready to give you our starts and sits for week 10. That's right, guys. It's already week 10. It's like I say, man, always takes forever to get here in the off season and it's gone so fast. Cherish it. All right guys, we're just gonna go ahead and get rolling again.
You know, whatever we got going. They just go ahead and get into it. Who's gonna go ahead and talk first today and give us their start of the week?
This week's start of the week for me has gotta be Christian Olave. Now guys, that quarterback situation over there in the Saints is a fucking disaster. Nobody knows what's gonna happen, but I gotta say, they gotta bring James Winston back because that guy can throw down the field. He's reckless with the ball.
I get it. He throws a lot of picks. I get. But he's the kind of guy that's gonna get , that type of ball. Right Now that you have Thomas out for sure. Now you got Ohla is the focus and He did all right last week. He didn't get over a hundred yards, but you know, come on, Dalton's throwing him the ball.
That guy can't even throw anything. I mean, that guy's a wreck anyway. So I gotta say Christian lave, especially for the, the fantasy upside to me, he's gonna be more of like a, a wide receiver to. Possibly a flex type of guy if you have somebody better in that position. But really, he's the man over there and they, they gotta get Winston to, to start throwing to him.
But I, I really think that, you know, when you start looking at his touchdowns and his, just his potential and his upside, especially going up against Pittsburgh, I really think that he's gonna have himself a really good week. So for me, my start of week 10 is Christian lobby.
Not bad, you know, he's come back pretty good off of his concussion, his, you know, multiple week out concuss. And he seems to be doing okay. I mean, he's all, they got there and I don't think it's much a product of Andy Dalton sucks that bad cause he does suck, but they got no other receivers man. And there's no one on that field that's really scaring anybody defensively.
And that's what's making it hard on the kid. You know, Hopefully they can, you know, do something with him and get him rocking and rolling, but definitely a good pick. What about you, Babo? Who's your start week?
All right. A lot of people probably given up on this guy and probably don't want to hear this, but Naja Harris, so we're gonna keep it in that, New Orleans versus Pittsburgh matchup. And I just think really good players get with really good coaches and they figure it out. So I've have some stock in nausea, so, and I've watched a few of his games and everything.
I see. he's trying to do everything he can to get the most out. Not too big a hole getting opened up for him. And if you see Jalen Warren who's his backup, he's one cut and go. He, he hits it. And I think NA's just trying to do too much. The coaching staff knows that NA's trying to do too much. Na knows that he's trying to do too much.
He had a few things to say. About the whole team. in a recent interview he had to clear some things up, basically saying he's not the one that's opening the holes for himself. He can't do it all. But that's the thing. He does think that he can do it all and if he just fits within that system of what they're trying to do, Plus with Kenny Picket getting more accustomed to the offense and, and more trust within that offense, I just think he's gonna get it together and this is a prime spot to get it, get it together because New Orleans just made Kenya and Drake.
What we want Na Harris to look like. He just had two touchdowns, like almost a hundred yards as a workhorse for the Ravens who don't even have a, a real running back, you know, don't even give it to anybody. So if Na gets hot against his defense, I think it's a great bounce, bounce back game, and to tell you the truth, All we're really looking for is that two touchdown, three touchdown game from NA with, you know, didn't even have to go for a hundred yards.
It's just multiple touchdown game from NA with a few catches. And everybody will at that point feel like they got their money's worth with that first round draft pick. We're waiting for it. I got my fingers crossed. So this is more of a hope, but I have NA and a lot of teams that I'm starting them.
You know, I like me some na it, it is just tough over there for him in the situation and I hope he can rebound. I got some stock in him as well but I think the overall team play has to improve for him as well and I think that's sort of what he was getting at, what you mentioned and I agree with that as well, you know what I mean? So, but you know, I really like the kid. I like his story. I, I hope he does bounce back cuz he's having a tough. And he's not the only one having the tough year, but he's having one of the toughest.
I know a lot of guys have been calling him the bust of the year, so a way to put those coconuts out there.
Bombo. I'm gonna go ahead and talk about my must start a week 10. So my week 10 must start Guy Travis at the end, running back Jacksonville Jaguars. This guy's just getting better every week and. I think Bombo nailed it a couple shows ago when he talked about, you know, James Robinson, you know, was sort of getting in the way in the beginning and I think they realized that, and it wasn't doing good for the kid and the best thing to do was get rid of him.
You know? So they didn't really work with him too much. James Robinson, the last couple weeks, knowing that, you know, they knew they were gonna ship him off. We didn't know what was going on. But that gave Travis Etti and the ability to really demonstrate. . This guy's, he's, he's just fucking good. He's, he's, he's everything that they advertised, you know, and it's like we talked to t you know, we were talking about the three leading running backs last week and it was Damien Pierce, ET in and Kenneth Walker, and I called him all three rookies.
And I think that, you know, even ET and say, or rookie, he didn't play last year at all. So to really see what he's doing with those other two guys, he's just as good as any of those other two, if not, because this guy gets out in space and I don't know if it's the offense, predicating, a mismatch or whatever else is going on there, but this guy just seems to be running wide open and he gets 20, 30, 40 yard chunks.
You know, those last three games, he's all hit the century Mark. In the last two games, he's carried the ball over 24 plus times. You know? last week he had multiple touchdowns for the first time this year, but they're giving him the ball and the goal line. . So this guy's really working it and I think that going forward into next year, he's gonna be a first round running back and I think whoever took him this year really had some hindsight and understood what was with him.
You know, especially you're reaping the rewards now, but Travis at In Against Kansas City, my must start.
Yeah I like Etti and I have some stock in Etti and their king. I just want him to kind of clean up, and I know I sound like a, a broken record when I say this cuz I say this all the time when we talk about him. But I want him to clean up those, fumbles. He does drop the rock a lot and, you know, You're right.
He is a rookie technically, but he still needs to clean some of that up. But you can't argue with his raw talent and just the fact that he just gets so many yards. So I love it. I think it's a great pick.
Yeah, King and way to shout out next year, where these guys might go. Like you were talking about Damien Pierce, etn. You know, these guys right now are, are really auditioning for that first round draft choice of next year's draft. Or they're, they're auditioning for, if you're gonna keep 'em in your keepers of your dynasty leagues.
cuz a lot of these guys that we're used to seeing in the first round are probably gonna fall. And they gotta get replaced by some other studs. And I got him right up there. I mean, he's already looking like a top 10 pick. but how this year ends up with some of these matchups he's got coming on, he could probably solidify himself as the top five, maybe top three.
No. Absolutely. He's got that kind of talent. No, this guy has has, he's got everything guys. You know, He was, he can catch out of the back field. He can run between the tackles, He can run on the outside. He's got moves, he's got shake, he's got everything. He, he's just. and he's showing it. And no, doesn't seem to be any ill effects of the injury, but we don't really know because we didn't see him really play that year.
Maybe he's better, maybe he's gonna get better. You know what I mean? That's the scary part. So, you know, but hey, great jobs guys on your starts. don't really see any flaws there. You know, Bombo throwing his nuts out there, but I still think Naja is a start, you know? And that's one of those things, you know, for our listeners, it's.
You know when you have so much invested in the guy and you really don't have anything else behind him and you start reaching and the guys you're reaching for really aren't really doing it for you anyway, you know, Hey man, you bought the car, you might as well just drive it. You know what I mean? Hey, fuck it.
You're in that deep already. You know? It's like me with Kyle Pitts, I got some Kyle Pitts, you know what I mean? And my thought is I'm just playing the motherfucker every week cuz I don't want to be that stupid as where I missed a one touchdown. He. You know what I mean? So I'm just saying, But all right guys, let's go.
doubled up on the season and he's at two.
Hmm.
I know dude. And I got both of 'em in the league that I'm in, dude. So I'm loving it right now. Fuck yeah. And that's what, That's what they got. There's a guy with me cuz it's a big money league and that's what he called and told me, Dude, what are you talking about? This guy's already fucking doubled his fucking touchdown total from last year.
What else could we expect? So, yeah.
percent increase.
dude. Whatever. Fucking Kyle Pitt stinks. He should be my must sit dude. I'm gonna change my must. Sit to him. Fucking sit him every week. Just kidding. How could I say that? I just had to ride the car every week. Anyways, see, now I'm all fucking Kyle Pitts. Fucked up in the head, dude.
All right guys, so let's go ahead and get into this man. We're gonna talk about our week 10 sits bombo. Week 10. Sit your ass on the. Mr. Bombo.
All right, we're gonna later on talk about, some of the injury concerns that are going on with some of these big name fantasy players, One of those being Josh Allen. So as we're recording this now, we're just getting, you know, a little bit of vague information that. It's an elbow issue, but they're bringing in independent specialists.
There's gonna have to be x-rays and if we know anything, it's gonna really, you know, when it comes to your elbow and your throwing arm, That's, You don't wanna mess with that. Right? When we started hearing about elbow issues with Matthew Stafford, the question was, Well, can you still get it out there? And I think that he's answering that week by week by not getting it out there.
So yeah, when I hear elbow issues, it makes me kind of downgrade everybody's, you know, all the past catchers on that. Quarterback's offense. I think Stefan Diggs is gonna get his, no matter what, even. Even with, Josh Allen being a little hobbled, or even if they have to go with the backup, but I don't think he can support two.
And that second one is Gabe Davis. So my must sit is Gabe Davis, if you really think about it. But the way that he was drafted, he was supposed to be a borderline wide receiver too. You know, someone that you can just go in there that, that is gonna take advantage of the, worst corner on a team. And be the beneficiary of Josh Allen airing it out and that real potent offense and outside of a three catch hundred 71 yard, two touchdown game, which is no joke.
That's a big one he's been putting up. What we would say stinkers when it comes down to where he was drafted. And I think it's about time that you should probably put him on the bench or just look for other options. Maybe partner him up with, package him up with something and take advantage of a deal before your deadline.
Because I notice something, he gets it done. And with Josh Allen herding right now, they might go more run heavy. They just acquired Naim Heinz and he got a little bit of run this last game. They got James Cook back there and good old, reliable, single. and if you wanna really take the ease, you know, ease some of that load off of Josh Allen without really taking 'em out of the game, you rely on those short dump offs, those running backs, and you rely on the running game.
They have capable bodies that can take care of that. And unfortunately, the only, you know, someone's gonna be the odd man out in that offense. I, Isaiah Kinzie's already been phased out a little bit. and I think the next one to be kind of phased out is Gabe Davis just off of opportunities. He did have one.
Big target towards the end of the game, but it was like with four seconds to go trying to do their last heve ho. Other than that, he wasn't getting
no, I, and, and you're right, Bombo. You know, I mean, this guy, he's really, I think the whole team's disappointed again a little bit, but again, guys like we were talking Sunday T right? I mean, sometimes it's just the defenses they play and we were looking at that Sunday, their defenses that they're playing against are really good.
And I think that's exposing Gabe Davis and you mentioned that. You know what I mean? It's like, I mean, this guy, he has three or four catches. He gets a hundred. But then the other games, he gets three or four catches for 20 yards. So I think it's sort of what Josh Allen is doing for him. I don't think Josh Allen is looking for him enough.
I think he looks at Stefan Diggs and everybody else only gets it when Stefan digs isn't open.
mm.
If not, I'm running this fucking ball. You know what
thing too is
And the other thing is he's dropped some. He's dropped some too. Sorry, T.
He has No, no, no. You're right. He has dropped something. But what I was gonna say is Buffalo really plays down to the level of their competition. You know, I think they were buying into their own hype coming into this year that they were just gonna steamroll the whole entire nfl, cuz they were just that good.
And the reality is they're not right. And. They just, they play down to the level of their competition and Gabe Davis hasn't been living up to that. So, you know, that's a good call out. But I will say this though, when you start talking about Buffalo's run game, you know, you said Naim Hines got a little bit of action.
Little is the key word. He only got one touch . So I, They gotta get him more involved. I mean, but everybody, Every pundit, you know, including ourselves, have been saying that Buffalo's gotta get a run game outside of Josh Allen. So it, it just,
I don't know. Did any of you guys watch the game? I mean, obviously I watch every fucking game. So I watched a recorded game and when he heard his elbow right, he heard it with a little bit of time left in the fourth quarter because he went to throw a pass and they knocked it out of his hand, fumbled it like in the middle of his, passing.
and that was, And he actually had another he, he actually fumbled. I think there was a fumble that play. So there was time left. He threw a 60 yard, 50 yard dart
He put it right on Gabe Davis's chest and Gabe Davis just. And that was after the homeboy's elbow was hurt. So I'm gonna say that about the two things. I don't know if homeboy's really that hurt, but Gabe Davis needs to do better, cuz I've seen a couple plays like that where they wanted to be that deep threat and it goes right off his chest or goes right off his fucking face mask or his hands, you know, he gets some opportunities, he's gotta catch 'em.
All right guys. I mean, he doesn't get that many,
Yeah.
you
here's the question I got for you guys. Is the hype on Gabe Davis as far as where we were drafting them, what we're expecting, is that all still stemming off of that big KC playoff game?
Yes, a hundred
outside of that I have not seen him. He's, he was getting drafted above like guys that are bawling right now
Okay, wait a minute. So understand how this goes, right? And we talked about this before and we maybe touched on the divisionals guys, where at the end of the year and to and next. When you guys are drafting, you look at this guy's year stats, he had X amount of yards with X amount of touchdowns. Doesn't say, Hey man, he had fucking half those yards and three quarters of those touchdowns in one fucking game. It doesn't say that unless you look at the game log and start breaking things down. Then you realize, okay, this guy's a feast or. shouldn't be drafted that high. And we were saying that in divisionals guys
Mm-hmm.
just didn't know how much he was gonna get targeted.
E
the reality is, right, his year is one big game right now. He had one big game, a 98 yard touchdown pass, and ended up with 140 yards for the game. And he got that on the first play of the motherfucking. The first time they touched the ball offensively in the first quarter, so we only got 50 yards the rest of the game. So I'm just saying, I mean, I don't think the hypes I, I think the hypes too much, but it's all based on that one game, like you mentioned Bumble.
I think we put, like I was saying before, I think weeks one through six, Emanuel Sanders, like a top 15 receiver. and we just put that number two in Buffalo really high up on a pedestal and thinking that that person is, is gonna just blow up no matter who it is. And we saw the talent with Gabe Davis, but I think a lot of people just overshot
Well, I think we want, we want it to hit because they haven't had that and you got, the number one quarterback or the top quarterback, you know, the last couple three years. you want him to support more than one guy, and he isn't right. I mean, I, I mean, the reality, he doesn't even support a tight end. He supports Steon digs. If you anybody else on that team, dude, it's a crap shoot. Right? You guys agree with that, right?
Yeah.
I, I mean, so I mean, who, who's he supporting? And look at fucking Patty Mahome. Right? I'm just saying that dude's, that dude's could adopt more people. Dude, He's okay. He's supporting fucking, He just got Carys Tony.
A couple catches. That dude's been there for like a fucking night. He stayed over the night. They had a sleepover. He fucking suited up on Sunday. You know what I mean? It's like, come on dude. There's a difference. You know? And Josh Allen needs to still take more steps. I think now he's just relying on his running too much. And to me, you guys, that's where he is gonna get hurt cuz he's taking some big shots cuz he ain't going down. He's a big dude and I see some of the shots he takes and these dudes are laying it to him and he's taking it and he doesn't look too bad. But it's like a suitcase, bro. You carry it with you your whole career. You know, one of these days you're gonna wake up like, holy shit, what the fuck is. Yeah, that'll be your nuts and your throat, dude. All right, man. So, no, it's a, it's a good one. Bombo, what about you t I mean, we just, you know, we just sort of crapped all over Buffalo for like 20 minutes, but t let's just go and get back into the show who's your must sit your ass on the bench week 10, sir.
All right guys, so I'm gonna shit all over Justin Herbert, I, I gotta go after these chargers again. You know this guy for being drafted as high as he is. And, you know, passing for 40 to to 50 pass attempts per game. And most of those are to his check down. Austin Eckler. I, I mean, and don't get me wrong guys, I have stock in Austin Eckler, so I love that.
But the fact that he's got no receivers and they didn't address any of the receiver situation in, in the off season, they went all defense. they didn't get him any kind of other weapons around him other than. Which we talked about in a previous episode. But I mean, really guys, he's got Keen and Allen, the old man is broken down.
He should retire. He, he shouldn't even be playing or even trying to play anymore. Mike Williams is always hurt, you know, and for me, you gotta guide in Justin Herbert. He's a hell of a quarterback, but they're wasting. They're doing exactly what they did to Phillips Rivers over there. They're just, they don't get the talent around him and they're wasting this guy's talent.
But the reason why I say that, you, you have to sit him and you can't start him. Let's just face it, over the last several games, he's average only 12 PPR points per game with one touchdown. That's crazy. Last week he got another 12 PPR points. and he had a one touchdown again on 43 attempts and now he's going against San Francisco and that defense.
Nah, nah, nah. You, you can't, This is not a guy that you can say that I wanna start and I need to put him in my lineup. No. Get the hell outta here. I got you. Sit your fucking ass on that bench.
All right, da. Bombo, what do you think about that?
I would say he's, he brings up great point, you know, on why you should, but do you, a lot of people out there, do you have that, Are they gonna put their coconuts out there and grab somebody off the wave wire and throw 'em and, and sit 'em over Justin and start them over? Justin Herbert? So t who would you, if, let's say I was, I had Justin Herbert in this matchup and let's say Russell Wilson's sitting out there on my bench.
Gard Goff or Kurt Cousins, would you take those guys this week over Justin Herbert?
I would take golf and cousins, definitely I'd take Mario. I, there's, there's a lot of dudes out there right now that are sitting on the benches. Number twos in most guys' teams. That would definitely go way above and beyond. I have golf. I just helped somebody out and traded away to a, as a mercy. he was sitting on my bench, you know, and I was just, I felt bad for the guy, you know, he kind of having a shitty ear.
So I threw him a bone and I got, I got golf back in. And I would still play golf over him fucking any day right now at this.
Coconuts,
Yeah. No. Hey. No, it is what it is, man. I mean, the guy's a little bit twisted, bro, but he's, I mean, Bombo man, he, he's gotta pick on the weak link, Doug. He goes after the, you know, like when the lion finds the weak calf, you know what I mean? And the herd and just fucking like pegs it out no matter what. Just fucking zigs and zags cuz he knows he is just gonna get that one.
That's what T did right now to Justin. No receivers, no nothing. I'm gonna sit his ass fucking
If that was the case, I would've went after Stafford
I think he probably should have. I said that motherfucker too. Dude. They got the 32nd ranked offense. That is horrible, dude. How does that even happen, dog? I'm just saying
staffer's been on bi week for the last four weeks.
Fuck dude, right? This dude's wanting vacation already, dude. He wants to go back to Cabo or wherever the fuck those dudes go. You know what I mean?
He's done,
to go make,
Yeah. Like,
at and t commercials.
well dude, he's just gonna say like, Okay guys, fix this shit in the off season. Cuz you know what if this shit happens again, dude, I'm not even gonna finish the season. I'm just gonna quit. That's really what's gonna happen. But anyway, that's what we're talking about. What we're talking about right now guys, is me throwing it out there.
Me putting it out there again, putting the helmet on and being the stunt man, cuz I know I'm jumping over the cliff. Dude, RW King's week 10 must sit your ass on the bench. Jalen hurts. Jalen Herz. What's the problem? T say he got thrown back a little bit. Look, just cuz Jalen Herz is a top five quarterback every week and he fucking puts up fantasy numbers that are unparalleled to any other season by a Philadelphia Eagle quarterback.
You knew I was gonna do it at some point, but remember Sunday what we said. Remember we got that bid. Watch your ass. And one of the defense we've talked about was Washington and this guy's playing Washington and those four beasts up. They can put a pass rush on him. I think they're gonna make him uncomfortable, bro.
I think they're just gonna go after him. You know what I mean? So I think that's the key to the game and I think he's gonna have his worst game of the year. You know? Obviously I didn't do too good last week cuz Cooper Cup got those two balls, you know what I mean? But hey, I broke that shit down, dude. He didn't catch that touchdown.
He's only at like 60 yards and he didn't catch that other one. He's only at 20 yards. So those two catches, man. That's all it. And that's so pathetic, but I'm not gonna get into that. Jalen Hertz has been playing his ass off all year. Obviously. He is not a rookie. He's played last year. He played all, all the games last year and some the year before.
So he's understanding things. Things are slowing down to him. But even at that point, guys still throw stinkers. This is a divisional game in Philly. They had trouble in their last game Philly did against Houston. And I think that these teams that are being a little bit more physical with them and don't go in intimidated and get smashed by 'em, really give them fits.
And I think that Washington's defensive front is gonna do the same thing. And Jaylen Hertz is gonna be struggling. I, I think he might have a little bit of uptick in his rushing yards this week, guys. But passing wise and touchdowns I think are gonna be tough. . So Jaylen her. Sit your ass on the fucking bench from Fantasy Island.
Put the stamp on it. Boo. Lock it. Chain it up, dog. All right,
And you gave me shit for my, pick the
well you don't Well, yes. Sit on the bench. The guy's got no fucking receivers. Why are you gonna gimme shit for my pick? The guy's got two of the best receivers and a fucking pretty damn good, tight end. He's, he's undefeated.
Yeah,
Yeah. Why are you giving me shit? I'm putting it out there, man.
You're putting it out there, but you're going after a guy that's been proven. The guy that's been putting it
I do that every week, man. I keep telling you that.
All right guys. Great. Takes again, you know. Sorry for softy bombo, but we'll get him, you know, you're getting there man. Like the Gabe Davis and I think that's solid tee. I think guys that are on the, on the fence, you know about Justin Herbert and you know, can he have one of those games? And Josh Palmer looked like he was, you know, stepping up, fucking just hit his ass on the bench, played the guys tees recommending and hopefully they'll do better hope.
Hope Justin Herbert doesn't blow up and start running the ball. But those are her. Week 10. Sit your asses on the. We are the fantasy island fantasy trio, and we are out.
