Fantasy iisland week 3 reaction, over-reaction. Week 4 Starts and sits, Injuries, waiver wires, and DFS Line-ups for the week.

Hit us up and let us know how bad we suck getatus@fantasyiisland.com

All right guys, so, let's go ahead and, start getting into week three, recap of who our studs were for week three. There's a lot to choose from. Week three was big. There was a lot of stuff going on in week three. So I'm gonna go ahead and throw it over to you. Bombo, who was your week three, Stu.

My week three stud is Devonte Smith. he was getting drafted as a wide receiver. Three maybe wide receiver. Four. Keep in mind folks, this was the wide receiver one in fiddle last year. He's the wide receiver one this year. AJ Brown is just, a cherry on top for that offense. This whole offense is clicking.

They gotta stud qb and I know we mentioned it during the divisional round. , if your QB can extend the play and run around for about seven seconds, a really good receiver can get open. We forget that Devonte Smith had the greatest college wide receiver season ever and, won the Heisman because of it.

he's getting eight targets a game. He's just coming off of a week. Three eight catches, 169 yards and a touchdown off 12 targets. He put up a goose egg in week one. And I think that the offense saw that and realized this guy's too talented to, to get blanked on the score sheet. And, Yeah, he was a stud in week three.

You want all parts of this Eagle's offense right now. They're clicking on all cylinders as soon as they get their running game. going, then you can, we can start talking about Miles Sanders, Kenneth game. Well, but right now any part of that Eagle's passing game in Jalen Hertz are studs any week. So keep 'em in your line.

Hey, they bombo real quick. Don't you think though that their running game isn't really Miles Sanders, It's really Jalen Hertz. I mean, that's pretty much it, right? Right now, don't you think? Yeah, we're looking at similar to a, like a Baltimore type offense where the quarterback is the, the main rushing weapon.

but Miles Sanders is no slouch. They have people there and they have the offensive line to do it. hopefully. that the, Eagles team will realize that, you kind of wanna keep your quarterback upright as much as possible. Take a, page out of that Tray Lands book and learn from it. But, up until they, somebody beats 'em, or these guys lay a goose egg.

I mean, I think's almost a new trend in the nfl. I mean, that's Buffalo too. You know, Josh Allen are leading Russia, You know, they run back by committee. It just almost seems like that's the new thing, you know what I mean? If you got a big stud that can run back there, or somebody who can run back there, you know, And I mean, let's, I mean, put it into perspective, right?

I mean, the only one who sort of the anomaly Jalen Hurts is a big dude. He's got some guns, Dog. This is a big dude. He could take a hit, I'm sure he could. Josh Allen's big dude. Lamar's not, but Lamar's so fast and quick, he doesn't seem to take that big hit. But the other guy that I think that's always like the speed guy, but they don't have him like this is Kyle Murray.

Cuz I think he would just get crushed. I mean, you know, think about dude, he's only five 10. Well, yeah, but think about it. That's what Frisco thinks is gonna get him to the Super Bowl win to win the Super Bowl. Jimmy G's not that guy. They need that other aspect of that running quarterback in their offense.

You know, their offense is designed for that. So there's a lot of teams like that now. So, I mean, Yeah, that's true. I mean, yeah, I just think, you know, yeah, Philly just taken a big step and all those guys there are just, they're gonna flourish because of Jalen Hertz, you know? I agree. And to Bumble's point, Devonte Smith, I mean, this is his second year and he was the number one receiver last year, and now he's going up against the number twos and he's just feasting and Herz having a big year is just gonna make it even better.

Well, it, it's gonna go back and forth, guys. And I'll just throw a couple things out. Like Jaylen Moto last couple weeks has been blowing up. I'm sure teams are gonna try to stop him now. So it's gonna even out, it's gonna do the same in Philly. They're gonna start trying to stop Devonte Smith and then it'll even out.

And now it's all far across the board. And these guys should have big ears. I think Jaylen Hertz is, Yeah. Took, he took a big step. You know, I think that's the key. Big time, right? Yeah. Yeah. Big time. No, that's a excellent point there. King. Actually, King, why don't we just go ahead and stay with you and, why don't you give us who your, week three stud is?

Well, he's not just my week three stud, but I guess he's like my first three week stud. This guy's ridiculous. I can't wait for him to stop scoring touchdowns. But Lamar Jackson, I mean, this guy's just ridiculous right now, dude. And, and he's, he's gonna make somebody pay him, right? He stopped his contract negotiation.

They didn't want to pay him all the guaranteed money. They're like, Okay, we're not sure. I don't know what their problem was, cuz they can't win a game without him. . I mean, I don't know why they didn't pay him. And he's gonna go out and ball his ass off this year, dude. He's probably on pace to get like 60 touchdowns.

That's ridiculous. And, and you were waiting for him to have a bad week. Okay. He had a bad week last week. He only, he only threw for 220 yards, three touchdowns and ran for a hundred yards. And another touchdown, he runs for a fucking freaking a hundred yards. That's crazy. First three weeks of the year.

He's, And that's another guy, like, you know, Bombo was saying is the leading rusher other team, you know, he's the team. That guy is the team he is. And that's, it's such a ridiculous percentage of what he does. This guy is just, I, I, I gotta wait for him to stop. You know? I've never seen nothing like this. I don't know if he could keep this pace up all year, you know?

But if he does, he's MVP again, you know, and he's gonna, he's definitely a pace for an MVP year. Well, yeah, that's an excellent point. That's an excellent point. You had 60 touchdowns that no one's gonna be close to you, you know? So yeah, Lamar Jackson pay the man and he's efficiently slinging the rock and scoring touchdowns with his arm.

And it's, You're completely just, We're so used to Lamar doing what he does with his legs that we're just com, like we're, it's not even a highlight anymore when the guy breaks for a 79 yard touchdown run. Especially because it's being overshadowed by three touchdown per three to four touchdowns through the air from the guy.

And that was what all his critics were saying. Right. Can he do it with his arm? He's doing it with his arm. And he's also reminding you that he can do it with his legs. And you, You're right, King. Until proven otherwise. This is, I dunno if you guys seen any games. I think that's a good point. Bomb. Like he's almost throwing the ball mad.

Like he like proving a point. Yeah. And he's threading that shit. He's putting some stuff on you. So yeah, man, this guy's gonna be tough to beat, man. You guys got him in any of your leagues, wasn't that? No, I'm going against him in like every league and it's painful. Like I got him in two leagues. Yeah, I'm just, I'm, yeah, I got him in two leagues.

You know I'm in so many leagues. I got him in two leagues cuz I thought, you know, when I drafted early, these were earlier leagues when they had the draft and I was just thinking, same thing, just he's gonna be a free agent. He was an mvp. He's gonna ball his ass out until he fucking blows out a tire or something, you know what I mean?

But I didn't expect this. But yeah, Lamar Jackson, week three, week two, week one. So far MVP for me. Yeah, absolutely. He's looking for that Deshaun Watson guaranteed money type thing. I think that's the hold up is he wants all that. A hundred percent guaranteed. Think about it, dude, the guy wins 80% of his games or something stupid like that.

I mean, okay, he hasn't wanted all the playoffs, but. . You know what, it's, He has to mature a little bit. I'll take 80% wins until you get there, bro. You know what I mean? That's, It's gonna keep fans in the stands. It's gonna keep people happy. Money coming in. They're gonna be on national tv. It's big money and they're gonna recoup big all that money plus some.

I'm just saying, I don't know what they're doing. You got it. Pay him. Joe Flaco won a Super Bowl for that team and right now you're, think about the face of that franchise. Lamar Jackson is the face of that franchise since he won and he's, He's pretty clean field, right guys? I mean, I have never heard anything about him.

He's pretty clean off the field. He doesn't do shit. You know what I mean? He's more like a country guy, I think. But pay him. Yeah. Yeah. Just pay him pay. We got a consensus, pay 'em. It's not our money, so it's easy. Just go ahead and pay him . Anyway, guys. All right, so I'm gonna go ahead and go into mine right now, which, for me, week three stud has gotta be Kail Herbert, this guy, you know?

Yes. Montgomery went down and Kail Herbert was kind of, you know, plugged in and he just balled out. But hear me out, He was bawling out. Before that. He wasn't getting the amount of touches that Montgomery was, but every touch he got, it just seemed like it was a big time breakaway. Like, you know, they were huge chunks.

But then last week when, when Montgomery went down with his knee slash ankle, I mean the, he didn't do much. The kilo Herbert didn't really do much. He only did 157 yards and two touchdowns. Yeah, I mean, come on guys. If that's not worthy of making our stud list, I don't know what the hell is especially.

This guy, I don't know. It's almost as if they're hoping that he takes over from Montgomery so that they don't have to re-up Montgomery cuz they haven't negotiated contracts with him. He's in his final contract and it really just seems like Herbert's gonna be the guy there. He's a change of pace, kind of running back for that team.

And I, I really like what he's doing right now. So last week balled out. So for me, that's gotta be my week three stud guys.

Yeah, I like what I'm seeing from the Bears, rushing attack. There might not be anything else going on there but that rushing attack, but they're two in one and, it's on the legs of Montgomery and Herbert balled out recently, but, you know, hopefully Montgomery comes, comes back. we got some stock in Montgomery as well, but.

you know, I think the bears are set at running back right now and with that line and what they're doing run blocking wise, they can just get it together. Quarterback and passing game wise. Well I think that's a, that's a perfect, another perfect example of a team that their quarterback needs to be a part of the running attack cuz they got no fucking receivers.

He, he their last in a fucking passing offense in the fucking league and the kid looks like he doesn't want to throw. Okay. You don't want to throw then run motherfucker. Cuz you know what, that's gonna open everything up for everybody else. Now you're fucking running an option like Lamar. Which guy's got it?

Who's got it? Who's got his guy? I don't know who's got it. That's, that's what you want. You want to confuse him if you're gonna make this guy a pocket passer, whatever. I'm just saying they're trying to, it, it almost seems like they're trying to make him a pocket passer a little bit. And, but I mean, going to Bamboo's point, it's sort of like, I, I think what you were like implying bomb was that needs, you know, they need to open up some stuff and that's gonna make you a running game even better.

Yeah. You know, once you do that, now the teams can't just key on the run. And you know, even with Klio Herbert's Day, they were just fucking loading the box. He was just having a day, you know? And he's right for whatever reason. If the Bears can do anything, they can run block the last few years. And Montgomery has some good games, but Montgomery's more of a, I don't know, more of a, not a plotter, but a chunker, the way he runs and Kalu Herbert's more smooth and he's more fluid and he catches the ball much better in transition.

And he transitions his hips better and it seems like he gets back up to full speed a lot faster. So he, and I've heard too, that they're not, you know, so sold on David Montgomery, they wanna see him in this offense. And now that he got hurt, he's probably gonna lose his job to Khalil Herbert or a big chunk of it.

Because why are they gonna keep feeding David Montgomery if they're probably gonna cut him anyway? Or let him walk a free agent. So, yeah, exactly. It's a good point. And I think they'll probably just end up letting him walk, you know? So. All right guys, well that wraps up our, three studs of last week. Of week three.

So kind of looking forward now, we're gonna go into week four and we're gonna talk about who are our must starts so these are the guys that we really need to start no matter what. They're in your lineup, you just gotta play them.

And so I'm gonna go ahead and throw it over there to you. King. King, who is your must start of the week? Well, I think my must start of the week is somebody who I sort of thought in the beginning of the year, and you guys are probably gonna gimme some shit, but Amari Cooper, you know, Amari Cooper's a top tier receiver.

And he's proving it. And you know, I'm gonna use, bono's, you know, term here is he's almost showing that he's quarterback proof and that maybe all the problems that he's having with these other offenses aren't really him. I know he has some trouble staying on the field, but all receivers do

I mean, even though he gets banged up a little bit, he does get banged up quite a bit. I, I'll say earlier in his career. But he mean he stayed on the field pretty much last year. He missed a couple games, you know, the covid shit was the covid shit. But dude, the last couple weeks, you guys gotta admit he's balling out.

He's not catching anything over the top. But he's getting eight or nine receptions on Tanner, or 11 targets. I think he even had 10 receptions on 12 or 13 targets, and he's getting over a hundred yards the last couple weeks. The first week he had two targets. After that, they've just been throwing him the ball.

He's the best guy. I'm sure they went back in the room and told Jacob, Kobe beset on the films, Look, this motherfucker's open. Throw him the ball. Look for him first. He's our guy. And I'm sure he had tons of separation. It's just Jacobi. Brice probably had a habit or something because now it just looks like that's who he's looking for.

So to me, I think even going forward, just looking at plugging him in as a starter or even a really good flex. So Mari Cooper, man, I mean, I know he is, he's got a touchdown in the last, each of the last two weeks as well. So it isn't like he's not, you know, getting touchdowns or he is touchdown dependent, no yardage, a hundred yard games and touchdowns.

So, Imari Cooper, Jacob, ett, Keep that shit rolling, Doug.

Yeah, it's you know, gotta give, give Burett a little bit of credit there too, cuz against the Steelers he made Cooper and, David and Joco look like, you know, past catching stars and really wasn't, isn't that what everyone was saying? Right. The Browns have the talent, they have the offensive line, they got a couple studs on defense.

You know, if they could just squeak by with Jacobi ett, until Deshaun Watson gets back, you know, is this a playoff team? What can they do? Brice's doing all he can, to make sure that, you know, they stay respectable. So, yeah, I like that. I like, I like Cooper's chances in this offense if he's gonna be targeted as much as he's getting.

Okay. Babo, I got question. He's always be able to get open if say they were, Okay, so Deshaun's out 11 weeks, right? He comes back week 12 and then, so he would have six or seven games, whatever it is to play. Right. Six, five games, 17 weeks, five weeks. If they were say eight and three, probably leading the division or close to it up there with 'em.

You know what I mean? The division leaders staring right at the wild card. Do you think they would make the playoffs and do well with the Sean Watson?

I think if they're eight and three and BET is the reason why they're eight and three. Watson has to hold the clipboard cuz that means bet's got the locker room and you can't mess up the chemistry like that. It would be, if, you know what they, they would start, they would start Watson and they'd lose all the rest of their games and they'd miss the playoffs because that's what the brows would do.

And sort of time brown move though. Well, the dude hasn't played in two years. It would even like, Well he didn't look sharp in the preseason two. Well, that's what I was gonna say. He couldn't even, like, he wasn't even like throwing the ball, right. Like the shit was hitting guys in their feet. So I think that's a good point.

You know. Man, I don't know if they would have the balls to stay stick with Jacob. Ett. Dude, that's tough cuz I mean, you went through all that shit, Paid all that shit, got all the problem, you know, like all the critics saying, how could you take this guy after he did that and whatever. But ah, that's a good point.

Browns are gonna brown. They'll do it. Yeah, they'll do the dad. They'll something out. Yeah, they'll fuck something somehow, some way.

All right. All right, so let's keep that train rolling. Okay, So Bombo, who is your must start of this week? My must start of the week is GTE Williams from the Broncos, bottom line, he's going against the, statistically the worst team in the league. what we saw last week was Derek Henry, get his get right game against Las Vegas.

and he was, he went off on them. And the only thing we're waiting on, on GTE, cuz he's getting the usage, is the touchdowns. We've kind of been waiting on the whole offense to spark. this is a good spot for them to start, to start right now, against Las Vegas. And, you know, everybody that listens to the show knows what King has said about Jte.

None of it's wrong. You know, the guy who runs hard, he's fast, he's powerful, explosive. He can catch, he's, you know, he had that goal line fumble, but that speaks more to the defense on that, opening game against Seattle. I just think that right now it's, it's, it's a good mixture of talent. An opportunity, and you have a great opportunity when you're going against Las Vegas right now.

So my must started at Jte Williams. I, you know what I, I'm, I'm blowing the dude, but did any of you guys see the game last week? And it almost seemed like he got in trouble. Something happened maybe with a coach or something on the sideline, and then Melvin Gordon started getting a lot of carries and they showed GTE on the sidelines and he had his, like, his helmet like sitting on top of his head, like pissed off standing there, like a little bit behind the, the line of guys that are waiting to go in.

So I think they benched him a little bit. I don't know if he missed an assignment or he did something wrong. I don't know, dude. Yeah. You know, I mean, I could have been, you know, and that's the things we don't understand. Like if he misses a blocking assignment, that's huge, you know? And if he does it like two or three times and doesn't pick up the blitz right or something, Okay, dude, you don't get it.

Sit down, you're not thinking right. And he was pissed. . So I, I hope he comes out with a vengeance this week, man. You know, I think it's a good, it's a good strategy, cotton, you know what I mean? It's a bold strategy. It's a bold strategy, you know what I mean? But yeah. And he's so cheap too, in dfs, Doug. I had to buy him all day long.

But yeah, I like Chiante. Good. Pick Bumbo. Yeah, no, that's an excellent pick there. Bombo. All right guys, well I'm gonna go ahead and, stay with the running back position and this week for me, it's gotta be James Robinson. I mean, the guys rushed for a touchdown in every single game so far. I know it's only three games in, but he's had at least one rushing touchdown in each game.

And he is had a total of 230 yards on the ground so far. So this guy's kind of been a bonus for them. He wasn't expected to be back so early and he, he sure as hell wasn't expected to be performing the way that he's performing right now. You know, everybody was kind of figuring et tn was gonna be the man there.

And Robinson said, You know what? Fuck that. I'm the man. This is my team. So, I don't know. I really think he's gonna be the guy there, especially this season. He's gonna be kind of the lead back situation. I just don't see Attn doing it.

And for me, your must start has gotta be James Robinson

Yeah. Everyone was, pretty much writing this guy's obituary over the summer. hey, you know what? Shout out to any of these guys that are coming out, coming back off these career ending injuries. You know, back in the day, Achilles for a running back, he wasn't coming back with any of this type of juice.

Robinson's running hard, catching passes. He's, you know what I mean? This, this guy's, they've been playing House money's the yarder or something, right? He's been producing. Yeah. Yeah. Nah, yeah. Sick. Yes, dudes. Nah, he's talking about talk kind of to what your point when you were talking about, you know,Jte Williams, you, you know, can, you mentioned that, that I hope he runs with a vengeance.

I mean, that's exactly how James Robinson is running right now. Well, I think that's how he always runs. He runs so fucking hard. I mean, look at it. When he broke out his rookie year and then he sort of got banged up a little bit and the team went to shit last year. That was his second year. And the. The coach that was there didn't like him.

But look at the coach now. The new coach comes in and loves him. You know, an ET end's gotta learn. He's a rookie and basically, I know he was a rookie last year, but he never hit the field. So he is a rookie, you know, So, yeah, I mean he's gotta earn that shared time and he's gotta learn a little bit and he'll get it.

He'll, they'll start splitting it cuz they know they need him. They need to integrate him in the offense. He's a weapon. But it, I think it's the same thing too. What Bombo was talking earlier, the quarterback play is opening it up too for these guys. You know, the quarterback play of Trevor Lawrence is opening it up thinking now they can't sit in that box cuz he's back there shredding them.

So, Okay. You don't do that. It's a light box. I got one guy to beat in the secondary. James Robinson runs for 50. Yeah. Huh. It's, and it's, it's by design the way that they're doing it. I mean, and they're executing it perfectly. They really are. So it's, pick your poison now over there in Jacksonville.

All right guys, now we gotta start going into who's our must sits of week four. And I gotta tell you, there is a lot to choose from cuz there's a lot of guys that just are not performing the way that we thought they would. And, so I'm really interested to hear what you guys have to say this week about who the hell you're gonna pick.

So, Bombo, why don't you, kind of throw it out there on who your sit is for this week. All right, I'm gonna throw my coconuts out there. name that probably no one wants to sit but hear me out. I'm gonna say Deebo Samuel versus the Rams. you know, McVey and his coaching staff are real petty.

You know, they're, they're players, coaches, and they listen to their players and, and I mean, remember last year when there was the big,problem with. Robert Woods not getting any passes. He had a game where he got zeroed out. The very next game, he got 12 targets in 150 yards receiving because they listened to all the naysayers.

And you know, McVey, he's just that type of coach. This team is sick of Deebo Samuel, putting them on highlight films. It's the Niners in the Rams rivalry. And you know this last season, it was the Deebo show running all over 'em. And what happened when the Rams finally were able to go, you know, go over that hump and beat the Niners last year to go to Super Bowl, they contained Deebo.

They, they, they hit him hard, they lit him up. and that's what they're gonna focus on the rams may not even win the game, but they're not gonna let Deebo beat him. So I, I expect tons of defensive presence on him and maybe it opens up for kiddo. Maybe it opens up for a y put, the Rams are down for that and I just, I just don't see the Rams letting Deebo run all over him.

Catch all over him. and I think they're gonna make Jimmy G prove it with some other weapons. this doesn't have anything to do with Deboss ability. I think they, good teams know how to scheme to get good players out of the game, and I think the Rams are gonna bend over backwards. So let me ask you a question, Babo.

Okay. So like, I've drafted in a lot of teams, Brandon IU and I went in thinking, Okay, he's the second guy, but he's gonna have some games. You know, there's gonna be a couple games where he blows up and you're hoping you're starting him. Those weeks is this one of those weeks for Brandon IU and they're just gonna shut Deebo down and try to let him beat him cuz they know how you can't beat.

and, but he's gonna have a pretty good day. And you could play him or is it just they're gonna shut everything down? What do you think? I think it's smart to play a y in this game. they have one really good shutdown corner and then everybody else's kind of suspect. Right? I mean, you had Drake, London go off on him last week.

Well, I don't even, And Jaylen Ramsey shut down that. I think it's me, but I mean, Alright. Fuck, I'm gonna play Brandon. I then you said, so if he shoots the bed and I think a Y's their number one to be the truth when it comes down to just wide receiver talent. He's their number one. Cause he's a bowling ball, you know, he's a bowl.

I mean, it sucks for anybody on that team who built up that, that rapport with Trey Lance all summer and didn't have to, didn't get any passes thrown from Jimmy G. And like you always say, King, this is, this is preseason right now. Right? I mean, weeks one through four preseason, especially for the Niners was there.

Cause Jimmy was on, he was holding the clip. He was like the dude from Blue Mountain State. Yeah. He wants to be the perennial background. You know what I mean? Yeah. He was looking for properties like, I'm gonna be somewhere else next year, man, fuck, whatever. You know what I mean? Yeah. He was just chilling.

So Yeah. All of a sudden he's gotta take it serious again. Damn. He's gotta fucking steady and shit. But All right. All right guys, so, I'm gonna go ahead and give out my must this week and, I'm gonna take another page out of Bono's book, right? So hear me out. This guy, DJ Moore for this week, the last three weeks, he has, he has totaled 50 yards in three total weeks.

I mean, this, I mean, this is, this is ridiculous, right? Bombo always says that DJ Moore is quarterback proof and he really is for the most part. But now guys, we found the quarterback that did him in, he sunk this battleship, and that's Baker Mayfield. And so now DJ Moore just got BD and I can't see him kind of having big games right now.

And if you drafted him and he was your number one or number two receiver on there, I wouldn't even put him in the flex position. This is one of those types of situations where, until. Him and Baker kind of start clicking. You're just gonna have him ride the bench and you gotta plug somebody else into those positions.

Cuz I don't see him having any big games anytime soon.

And it's sad. I have so much stock in DJ Moore across many leagues. and I joke with, with you guys, you've heard a shut down corners Baker is a shut quarterback. There's no, he's gonna make sure to get nothing out of your best receiver, even if it means it's his best receiver. I mean, we saw, hey, maybe Dale's dad was right, Right.

Total cock, bucket odes dad was right around. Fuck he was. I I kept telling you, King, that Ode is not gonna, All right, I'm gonna go ahead and give you my, I'm not gonna listen to that tea. I'm not gonna listen to you. Bad mouth and baker like that. It's true. It's true. It's true, it's true. Look, dude, I sort of like those commercials.

All right, Keith, well why don't you go ahead and, lead us into your must sit of week four. Well, I think it's the opposite of your must start t I'm gonna go with Travis Etti. You know, James Robinson seems to have just like taken over that backfield. He's just showing the rookie this is what you do and they're not gonna take him off the field.

They'll put TN in during, you know, certain situations and things that, you know, more past catching opportunities and things like that, or speed options on the outside, that kind of stuff. But, man with James Robinson balling like this. And I, I think Bomb Bo mentioned it, you know, if guys drafted him, they got him for nothing.

Eighth, ninth, round, something like that. Guys were investing second round, third round picks on et end. So, I mean, there's a lot of guys that are pissed off right now cuz this guy's just not getting the, he's not getting the opportunities and he, he's probably not even really understanding the, the NFL yet, so just give him a little while that 10 will come around.

But this week my must sit Travis at the end. I'm actually right there with you, King. I represent what you just said. yeah, I'm kind of pissed off cuz I did pick him up kind of early thinking he was gonna ball out and he has done nothing but shit to bed for me so far. I'm not ready to give up on the kid just yet, but I can't play him right now.

And so he's riding the pin on, on the two of my leagues actually right out.

Yeah, he was drafted with the expectation that his ceiling is Austin Eckler, but we have to also accept the fact that his floor is Giovanni Bernard. So right now he's being used like Giovanni Bernard, and hopefully he'll get LER usage. But, the, right now the Jags are controlled in the clock. The JGs are not a bad team.

They might be, you know, take the Raiders out of the equation, and now they insert the Jags as far as who was there last year that's gonna be there this year. keep an eye on the Jags, man. They're, they're, they're, they're clicking on all cylinders right now, and it starts with that quarterback and that running game.

It just hits you. Yeah. Barbo. But you know what, Even when they try to use him like an heckler, he, he dropped it on the goal line, on a, on a really easy pass. I mean, he just dropped it, or he fumbled on the goal line too. So even when he's getting those opportunities, not making the best use out of those opportunities at all, he's kind of blowing them.

He's played three NFL games. He's played three NFL games. That's all I gotta say. Wait till the end of the year guys. He'll have a decent year. Yeah. You know, by the end of the year his stats be decent. We're, we're hoping. Yeah. Yeah. Don't, just don't start him this week. Just don't, well, don't start 'em for our next couple weeks, I think until he chose something.

And unfortunately, really, I mean, unless James Robinson goes down in the next couple weeks, he's not gonna get a big hunk of, of Carries. He's gonna have to earn them, you know? But I think the kid's town to, he's good. He can take it to the house at any point, so.

All right guys. Well, okay, so now we gotta start transitioning into our key fantasy injuries. A lot of guys are dinged up. Yeah, it's only week three, but there's been a lot of injuries. We've kind of covered them. You know, we go week by week in covering 'em. And this week, no exception. So during week three, we had a couple guys have some issues.

Either they went down completely or they're a little bit banged up to the point where, I don't know, should we be concerned? Should we not be concerned? So I'm gonna just throw out a couple names. This is certainly not all of 'em, but these are some of the more fantasy relevant guys. You know, we got guys like Delve and Cook with his shoulder, David Montgomery, with his knee slash ankle.

Deandre Swift with his ankle and shoulder, Mac Jones with a high ankle sprain and Sterling Shepherd completely done for the season with his knee. So, You know, I'm gonna ask you, King, what do you think the impact is going to be on some of these fantasy owners with these guys kind of getting dinged up and or just going down in general?

Well, I think there was a couple other guys that finished the game too, that are, are probably gonna be feeling it this week. You know, I'm gonna say this too, guys, There's guys, sometimes they don't get hurt, but they just get wore out and sometimes the next game they're shitty. And I'm just thinking about Josh Allen, I did was on the field for like 90 plays or something stupid like that in 120 degree weather.

He was cramping for two days or something. They were saying, Fuck dog, that's crazy. But I mean, obviously the biggest one, the impact is gonna be Mac Jones. I mean, sure they got Brian Hoyer, I guess is the same thing, but his, his ankle sprains pretty bad and one of the doctors recommended surgery. And he's getting another opinion and they're gonna try to do without surgery and it's gonna take a long time to heal it.

If it's something that needs surgery, you're looking at least eight weeks, six weeks. So we'll see what happens there. But Dalvin cook sublux his shoulders, so he impartially popped it out. Montgomery is David Montgomery. He's probably gonna miss a game or two. Same with Deandre Swift. I mean these, Cause even when they go in and play when they're hurt, they're just ineffective to me.

I mean, that's what I've seen. And like you said, unfortunately Sterling Shepherd's done for the year, you know. But I think another guy to keep an eye on this week, and he has a short week ist. He got hurt a little bit last week, you know, And they were saying maybe it was a concussion. He like, looked like he took a header, you know, I'm gonna stick with his back hoping it's back and he just misses a week or something and could throw a Tyre kill all week, all year long.

Cause he got a lot of Tyre kill. . Yeah, that's all I gotta say. Now, I really think though that maybe Deandre Swift is kind of out of that list, is kind of gonna be one of those guys that a lot of fantasy owners are going to miss if he's out for an extended period of time. Now, I mean, to be fair, right, he misses time every single season since he's been in the league. He's always missed two, three games. he, he seems to get a little banged up and he'll, he'll miss a little bit of time, but I don't know that one. When he's in the games, he balls out. So for fantasy owners, that's, I mean, that, that's what you want. So it kind of hurts if you, if you have to sit a guy like that.

I don't know. That's just my opinion, but it just really seems like, you know, a lot of guys, they grab him high because they, they love his upside and for, for a good reason, right? Rightfully so. Do cook still a high price to pay for that guy too? You know what I mean? And he was having a pretty good game. I think he had a touchdown, 90 some yards rushing, you know what I mean?

So he was on his way and he heard himself in the third quarter, so he would've been well over a hundred. He was getting 10 yard chunks. He's a good running back, you know, So it's just a matter of him clicking in that offense too. So, I mean, both those guys are being missed, but I think both of them, it's like we talked about, is, you know, they're handcuffs and the guys behind them are probably gonna step in and do pretty good is Jamal Williams, the guy who used to play for Green Bay and Delvin Cook's, got Alexander Madison, who's already been there a couple years, knows the offense, knows the personnel.

So, I mean, they're gonna do okay, both those guys. So if you got 'em, you got lucky guys who got KH Herbert behind Dave Montgomery, you got lucky. You know, And that's what it takes. Sometimes you gotta take that backup guy and hoping, not hoping, but you know, unfortunately, if the guy goes down, you gotta starter now.

Right, right on the Money King. That, that, there's, those are the parallels between us fantasy owners and the real owners and the real owners of these organizations. They're smart enough to have the handcuff high quality handcuffs. every one of these guys that you mentioned, these running backs, Swift Cook, Montgomery, they get hurt.

These guys get, you know, these guys have been getting hurt for the past two or three seasons, and the teams did what they can to make sure they have a quality backup, but that doesn't miss a step. And in the case of Herber, you know, sometimes that backup just needs that opportunity. And good thing that these teams have that quality backup and each one of these guys has a backup that can, that can be a workhorse.

So, take notes, fantasy fans, you know, do what these real GMs are doing and get your handcuffs. It's getting that time of year preseason is over. No, absolutely. All right, guys, well, kind of. Transitioning from the injury lists. Now because of those injuries, we're gonna have to start thinking about our waiver wires.

So this is gonna be who are the guys that we're gonna grab off of those waiver wires? Because either we're sitting a guy, guy shitting the bed, or we're just gonna go out and grab somebody because of injuries, right? So King, who the hell do you have this week as your waiver wire must get? Well, I think it goes back to our injury list.

You know, those three running backs we talked about are hurt. Man, you want to grab one of those guys cuz they're gonna be starters, you know? And I looked at it and I just, you know, for me my thought was okay, even in a couple league, I drafted Khalil Herbert cuz I knew what he did last year and he's a good running back and he still gets carries even though Montgomery's there.

But when I looked in espn, he's only owned in 52% of leagues. That's insane. Okay guys, 48% of you go pick up Kalil Herbert. Okay, pick him up this week, play him cuz he is probably better than your second running back. Or if your flex is sucking balls, put him in there. But KH Herbert and 48% of your guys' leagues go get him.

And that's a big one right there. And you know, that was my, must play kind of guy. So Good call King. I'm gonna support that 100% for sure. So, Bombo, who the hell do you have as your waiver wire for the week? So let's say, during your draft you went with, you rolled the dice, you took Trey Lands, or you drafted Deck Prescott, or you were gonna go with Old Man Brady.

and we, we've seen these guys pretty much take a shit all year. Trey Lance d Prescott, going down with injury. Brady just not having any weapons. so what do you do about a quarterback? You could probably go out there and get yourself a Carson. We, but, you know, he's put up a goose egg this past year, I mean, this past week.

look at Jared Goff now when he has his full array of weapons around him. Shark Reynolds, Almond Raw, those running backs, Hawkinson. they're asking him to throw the ball like 40 times a game and, and he's producing results. He's the number 11 quarterback on the year right now with fantasy points.

That makes him a QB one. He's better than Rogers. He's better than Wilson. He's better than Brady. He's better than Stafford. that may he not, may not be more talented than them putting math wise, points wise, he's putting more points up than those guys by far. You know, the guys that I just named during the twenties, this guy's, you know, top 12.

you know, he's gonna have his ups and downs. It's Jared go, right? We're not, we're not, This guy's not taking you to the Super Bowl, but he may take you to your championship game if you ride him and he's putting up the numbers that he's been putting up. and worse comes worse. He's a serviceable quarterback.

Take him off the waiver wire so that nobody else can get 'em. Maybe you're sting 'em, maybe you're, use 'em as a backup if you're rolling out there with the Kirk Cousins or Tom Brady or something like that, because he's gonna win you some weeks.

The top 12 quarterback should not be on your waiver wire. Take advantage of your league mates. Take advantage of that waiver wire. Get 'em off the waiver wire. I think it's a good point. And bumbo, like if you have a guy and you'd really, your backup really isn't, you know, doing shit or you, you know, like Tee, you drafted fucking baker is your backup, you know?

Yeah. Go get him. You know, go get him. yeah, I never would've done that, but, kind of now that I'm listening to Bombo and what he was saying right there about take advantage of your, your league mates, is that why you keep trying to propose trades to me? You keep trying to take advantage of me, man. Now I see what the hell's going on.

Jesus Christ, you sent me like three trade proposals today and I, every single one of 'em I'm looking at going, What the fuck is this? You know, you're trying to take advantage of me big.

You know, some people draw during business meetings. I'm just sitting there just messing around on the, on the app. Just throwing out, You were one of probably about eight, nine days. I was, there was three, but now I see where your head down there was three of 'em that you threw out to me and then I counter proposal with a straight up offer instead of all these convoluted ones and you denied it right away, man, that was kind of weak.

There was good value there too. There was, there was really good value there. So, Alright. Alright. I'm gonna go ahead and go into, my waiver wire of the week. And I gotta tell you guys, this guy right here, he's a rookie. He's not a big name, but there's merit to it. And the reason why there's merit to it is you gotta follow what everybody is doing and what you see right now.

Right? So for me it's Romeo Dobbs. Now take away the, the drop that he had take away the douche bag piece of shit for a human being that he has throwing to him right now. This kid balled out last week, right? And there's a reason why all of a sudden his rostered in ESPN fantasy jumped up 12 points, almost 13 full points.

He was on less than 20% rosters, and now he's over 32% of the rosters and there's a reason for it. This kid had a hell of a week, you know, and when you think about it, Sammy Watkins and Christian Watson are both injured right now. That doesn't leave much to throw at, right? You got Randall Cobb who's out there with his rascal, and you got lizard and lizard's not even looking that healthy right now.

He had his ankle issue and then he was sucking wind and overheating in the last game, after he, he caught that touchdown. But the kid, the kid looks really, really good. He's starting to build a little bit of chemistry with douche bag. So I really think that everybody's gotta try to get this guy off of waiver wires or do what Bombo said and try to like, take advantage and, like steal him away from somebody on your, you know, one of your league meets.

Cuz this guy, he's gonna start by the, by mid season he's gonna start balling out. So for me it's gotta be Romeo Dobb.

He just better not drop something wide open or else Aaron Rogers will never look his way. And I think that's the problem, man. It's like there, he's like, Aaron Rogers such a dick. But anyway,

That's true, that's true. Thanks for the insight there, King.

All right guys, that's gonna lead us into our next segment of daily fantasy sports dfs and you know, we, we kind of going at this every single week.

Some of us win some, some of us lose some king all the times, losing a ton of money. , pobo is breaking even. I'm lucky if I win like a, a dollar here or there. I mean, we, we kind of suck at it, but hey, we're having fun with it guys. So, we're gonna go ahead and start off with King and he's gonna give us who his lineup is of this week, well before I start assholes, right?

We said we're gonna start keeping track for the audience of what our teams score. So don't bypass shit again, tea. Cuz you're just talking shit about me. I'm gonna throw my coconuts out there and see you guys are gonna see my scores now against everybody and we'll see if I'm really that bad. Bring it. I think I am.

But anyway, cause it's, it's, it's so like, oh, DFS is so fucked up. Sometimes you just have an awesome lineup and your team does so shitty. And then the guy who wins played all these fucking obscure motherfuckers. anyway, all right, so I'm just gonna get started. I said fuck it. I'm going, Josh Allen, you know, after what happened in, in Miami, he's a little pissed off.

He's been on IVs for two or three days, getting ready against Baltimore to a lit up Baltimore. Josh Allen's gonna rip him a new asshole. He was expensive. He was the highest price guy. Him and Lamar, 8,900. But I think other than that, I mean, he's gonna be, he's gonna ball out this week. So I'm going Josh Allen. I'm gonna stack him with Pawn Digs and other high price guy at 8,700. The rest of my receivers are gonna be Drake, London, and I put Noah Brown in there. I don't know if you guys watched any of the Dallas game, but he flashed a little bit.

I'm hoping he gets in the end zone this week and he does pretty good. So I got Noah Brown on the cheap, but honestly, Drake, London was only 700 bucks more than him and Drake, London's got a really good matchup against Cleveland at home, so I think it's, it's gonna be a good week for him. My running backs, I got 'em cheap.

I think the inside's gonna be a little bit soft and I think Houston's actually gonna do some stuff against him and we'll see what happens. But I took and joke who as my tight end and what I decided to do was I went with the cheapest defense, cuz I just really think they can, I, I know they didn't really stop Baltimore this week, but Baltimore only scored a touchdown a quarter except for the third quarter and there was a couple turnovers.

So I like New England to sort of shut down Green Bay. I think Green Bay's a got like, you know, minimal weapons on the outside their kids. I think they can throw some exotic looks at 'em. And they're gonna confuse 'em a little bit and I think it might stifle that offense, I'm hoping. So I got 'em on the cheap, but then I threw in my flex, I threw in my boy Amari Cooper.

So I got two Cleveland guys in there. I'm hoping for a shootout in Atlanta cuz Atlanta seems to shoot out with everybody. You know, they even let Indie come back at the, in the first game they did all that shit. Everybody just comes back on them. So I'm hoping the same thing or they come back on them. So, you know, it's gonna be a good game, I hope.

And that's my lineup and it left me with 500 bucks. So maybe I should go spend it somewhere else. But I think I'm gonna stick with this lineup guys. It's not a bad lineup. It's not a bad lineup. Hopefully it'll, be good enough to win you some money. This king, 300 grand baby, it's in the $5. I'm in the million dollar.

Right. Well, you know what, then I expect for us to at least, at least, you know, lunch or something, if you guys scored enough points to win the million dollar thing and you guys played like the 25 cent thing, like you.got mean call you out, and then you're gonna win like 150 bucks instead of 300 grand.

All right, Babo. So, why don't you give us your, DFS lineup for this week? All right. my DFS lineup, I went with a little bit of, you know, I didn't go as expensive at quarterback, but when is, you know, size I felt comfortable with, with, Jalen Hertz against the Jas at 8,600.

he's on fire. We spoke about it earlier, giving all the hurts. with running back, I went,

With running back. I went Naji Harris versus the Jets at 7,000. you could run on that team and he's due, I mean, he's a, he's a first round pick, fantasy, first round pick. He just hasn't shown it yet. And I think this is a really good, get right spot for Harris. with my other running back, I went, Rashad Penny at 6,700.

He's now the, like the unquestioned starter. They haven't gone to the rookie, haven't given him too many Carries. Penny has the talent as long as he is healthy. and the lions are having a really hard time stopping the run. So just gimme Penny at 6,700 versus the Lions. Then I went a little expensive at receiver and win digs, 8,700 versus the Ravens because the Ravens can't stop a nose bleed and digs is that guy.

I'm banking on Brandon Cooks at my other receiver at 6,400 versus the Chargers. he's been asleep, right? And they, they haven't been throwing to him. he hasn't been producing the way that we want him to produce, and I think this is a really good spot versus a, a really vulnerable Chargers team. I agree with King, I think.

You shouldn't look at that game. Like the charges are walking over the Texans. Texans are playing with a lot of heart and they got weapons right now. and my other receiver, I went Alan Robinson versus San Francisco. Like I was saying earlier with McVey, hearing everybody talk, there's all this talk. Is Alan Robinson a bus?

Do they know how to use 'em? I think they're gonna go outta their way to use them and they're gonna pick on that San Francisco secondary and what I expect to be a dog fight, which should be a high scoring game. Give me all the Allen Robinson at 5,800. for tight end, I went with Mr. Old Reliable Dallas Gotter at 6,200 versus the Jags.

Don't expect him to go off, but he is a top five tied end. That's a good price for what I was willing to pay. my Flex GTE Williams versus Las Vegas. This is that game. We spoke about it earlier. He's gonna go off on what I say is the worst team in the league. so gimme all the GTE at 6,900 for my flex defense.

I went Colts at 3,700. versus the Titans. They put up some decent numbers against Kansas City last week. So just gimme the cols against a really, like a Titans team that I feel is overachieving right now. They went over on, on the Raiders, so now they got people thinking that they're back in it.

They're not back in it. So gimme the Cols at 3,700 versus the Titans and I have no money left over and hopefully this wins me some money. Oh, I like that. hopefully it's a winning lineup there. you know what's funny guys? I, your lineup looking at both of your D oh, he thought, what's funny, your lineup.

I'm looking at what you did King and what Bombo did, and you know, we have some similarities in our lineup. I'm gonna throw a Tibit out. State of the day. State of the day, like 60% of the winners in these big jackpots have like more than $2,000 left over. I don't know how that's possible. . You know what I mean?

But I read some article, like some big thing on like the jackpot winners and how, you know, how they calculated and what they do. And then one of the tidbits in there was like 62% of the million dollar winners. Like there's been like 120 of 'em or something. 62% of those guys had like more than $2,200 or something left in their bank with their lineup.

Damn. I don't know how that's possible. They need to teach a class or something, huh? Yeah, they need to teach a class. They, if they showing nobody nothing, they're gonna rake up. They should, They can make more money that way. I don't know about that. I'm just saying. Alright, so for this week, make us quarterback, make us laugh.

Are you, are you done? Are you done? Yeah.

it sucks, dude, that your lineup looks like shit every time you say it. And you win more money than me and you score more points than me. It sucks every time anyway. Go. And you say make you laugh, right? Isn't it make you cry? Is that you just laugh so much that you cry? I mean, that's really what it is at this point, right?

Yeah, I don't, yeah. So I'm fucking ridiculous. Do you know what I mean? Like, fuck, dude, I don't get it. But go ahead. And the funny thing is, you were showing Bombo and I both how to do this. You're the guy that brought us into the whole DFS world. Anyway, guys. So, so for this week I got Jalen Hertz as my quarterback at 8,600.

kind of with Bombo on this one. I think he's, you know, he's gonna continue to ball out and until he shows us otherwise, he's a good value at that point. for my two running backs, I, I took a different approach with my two running back. And I went kind of mid-tier, but I'm kind of going for the upside into production.

So I went James Robinson at 7,800 and Kil Herbert at 7,200 as my two starting running backs. They're not the high end running backs as far as dollar value, but you're gonna get the most production out of them. So I felt that, there, there were really excellent value at, at their price point for my receivers.

I went Marqui Brown again. I I went to looking at production for the value, right? 7,700 and went Drake, London for 6,300 and Romeo Dobbs, right? I did say, I did call out guys that, you know, Romeo Dobbs is gonna be kind of one of those sleeper guys that are gonna start blowing up and he is a must get on your waiver.

Well, this is me kind of putting my money where my mouth is. But then I turned around and I went really high end. I went out and grabbed the number one tight end on the market at $8,400 that Mark Andrews. this guy is just, he's special. at this point right now. He's getting more, everything, more yards, more touchdowns, more everything, than than any other tight end in the game at the moment.

So you gotta kind of keep riding that guy. And for my flex, I went kind, I went budget cuz I started running outta money. And I'm trying to think, okay, who can I get that might gimme some production at that flex part? And so I went to George Pickens. I don't expect him to do much, but hey, if he can bonus.

And with my last pick is the defense. Well, in dfs I'm looking in defense, doesn't score us a ton of points anyway. And I'm hoping that my other players can kind of make up for that. And I went with the cheapest defense, the very last defense on the roster at $3,000. And that's the Raiders. they have right now the lowest ranked defense and it shows.

and, but that left me with a zero balance, so I have no more money to spend. and there that pretty much wrapped up my whole entire DFS lineup, guys. All right, King. Now you can laugh. Yeah, no, I mean, come on, Babo. We picked a Raiders d I mean, just thinking they, I mean they get scored on, they're gonna score like 50 points this week cuz he took them.

That's the shit that sucks. I like the picks in your flex. That's coconuts. But cuz a lot of people are ready to write him off. Just that offense and general dude, he's gonna have to ball out on those two targets. He. just saying it. No, he, if you, if you notice last game, he kind of, he's real vocal and he, he went off on the sidelines and it seemed like Mitch got a little scared and just started force feeding him the ball after that in the fourth quarter in that game.

And he was getting, he was getting the looks, but they were coming from Mitch. So, not of a lot of them weren't on target. Even that circus catch that he made wasn't even a good throw. He just made the most of it. In fact, he was plastic man. Dude, he had to catch that thing like plastic man and shit. Then Mitch, the bitch, Mitch, I mean, Mitch, I mean Mitch.

Mitch, please, Jack. Come on, there's not gonna be anything on Target. You know, Mitch's zone is like, if you're within five yards of, of the receiver, that's kind of where he's gonna be. So you gotta kind of go for it wherever you can. So yeah, it's an excellent point there, Bombo. Hopefully we can, see him do some more of that, especially for my sake, for my DFS sake I should say.

So all right, everyone, that's gonna pretty much wrap us up for this week. great show. Great show guys. Good shit. Really loved it. And hopefully somebody out there learned something. I know I didn't, especially from King, I learned absolutely nothing. I probably learned more from Bombo this week, but hey, that's all right.

So, with that guys, we're gonna start wrapping up. Before we do though, I'd like to throw it out there to both of the gentlemen and say, Hey, you know, do you have any closing words? So, Bombo, I'm gonna go ahead and throw it to you first. You got any kind of closing words before we wrap this up? Yeah, I'm just gonna touch on something that King brings up all the time.

you know, none of these teams play starters in the preseason. So weeks one through four is really the preseason for a lot of these teams, especially these high end offenses that we expect fa big fantasy points from. so from weeks four and on, it's starting to get nitty gritty. And if you're sitting there at, you know, one and two, you know, oh and three, start trying to really reevaluate your team.

Start looking at all your, the, your league mates teams. See where you can fill some holes and you may have to take a loss, so you may have to take the, the wrong side of a trade. but you need to do what you gotta do in order to, really start getting with the nitty gritty now that the seasons are starting.

So, first thing you should do is listen to us. That's one. second thing you do is, you know, make sure that you're handcuffing your studs and, you know, Don't second guess yourself. If you spend a high draft pick on a guy that you think can blow up at any time. Make sure that he just stays in your lineup.

Don't be afraid of the matchups. unless we tell you to be afraid of the matchups, then that's different. but you know, it's, it's, this is now the meat and potatoes of the season, so best of luck to everybody. And remember, listen us, I think that's a great point is, is don't, you know, start switching your studs out just cuz they've had a couple bad weeks you drafted in there.

You gotta ride 'em. They're your, they're your season. Unless you got somebody crazy blowing up like a James Robinson or something. Yeah, get 'em in your lineup. But that's a great, those are all great points, Babo. Excellent, excellent points. So King, do you have any closing words to share with us? Not much closing words, but I just wanna throw a shout out, man.

I know we didn't talk much about him. We talked about one of his receivers, but I wanna give a shout out to Jaylen Hertz. You know, I was really high on Jaylen Hertz last year and Jaylen Hurtz sort of shit. The bed a little bit. and he sort of flattened out it in the middle of the year and really never really spiked again.

And I don't know, man, it just, to me it was disappointing and I didn't think he was capable of taking the kind of step that he's taken already this year. And he took a Josh Allen kind of step like Josh Allen did in his third year. And if this guy keeps up this pace, man, wow, this is gonna be a hell of a season.

Him and Lamar and those two fools might be meet each other in the Super Bowl and that will be one hell of a fucking Super Bowl, guys, that's all I gotta say. So I'm just want to give a shout out to Jaylen Hertz.

That's a good one. hopefully he's listening somewhere out there. And, he's gonna over there, reach out to you on social media and say, Hey King, this one's for you, . All right guys, that's gonna end it for us today. So with that, I am Sweet Tea for RW King and Bombo.

We are out Paige.
