I'm your host Ian Hartitz joining me as he always does in this lovely Friday edition when we go over all things injuries.

PFFs Nick Baudiford, Nick, how's it going man?

I'm great. Are you in?

Great day to be great as always man. Got lots of talk about tonight. Unfortunately there were, you know, one there was one very notable injury on Thursday prayers.

I'm on Thursday prayers up for two a tag of a low, you know, after that nasty nasty hit that for some reason we had to watch 200 times afterwards goodness is that two I was able to get this charge and flew back on the plane.

That's how we got the ridiculous Mc Grover story about him watching and laughing that alongside Mike McDaniel on the plane.

So could have seemingly been a lot worse and it was bad. You know, regardless, not making light of concussions.

I had to retire from football personally because of concussions. So I know just how bad they can be, but either way just, you know, get better to please because yeah better, better football they went to us out there doing this thing.

So with that now in the rear view mirror again, we're going to be going through every single fancy relevant injury ahead of Sunday.

I've gone through every single injury report and if you miss something I say don't worry already wrote an article on it that you can find up at pff.com.

Appreciate you guys tuning in and with that said we're going to start off with the quarterback position. So charges quarterback Justin Herbert dealing with this ribs issue did get upgraded to a full practice on Thursday and we'll start Sunday against the Texas.

So just the fact that he did get that full practice upgrade does help me believe that he is at least you know closer to full health.

Hopefully back you know as usual just elite elite level effectiveness and production. We are going to be without one of my favorite guys to watch football. James Winston back and ankle list as doubtful fully expecting much less aggressive quarterback Andy Dalton to be starting and yes, Nick.

I think it really is as simple as everyone's making out to be you take away. James who right now is on pace to shatter basically the pff record for average target death in the season you put on Andy Dalton and all the sudden Alvin Camarro's target problems should be gone.

Yeah, that's a good point. I wrote up a lab as a player to target as one of the five players target in my weekly white receiver cornerback matchups column.

But I went in this morning and I think I updated to say that I think Jarvis Landry might be the DFS player. He's got a good match up against Shannon Sullivan and to your point about the average of the target.

But a lot of these is like it's a it's 20.5. It's ridiculous, which is absurd. Dalton's average of the target is 7.6 Landry's is 11.2. So I think those two are going to juggle a little bit better. But yeah, come on. He could just eat here.

I'm just like downgrade for a law, but I will get as we'll get to in a little bit with the wide receivers Michael Thomas is out with the foot injury. So I think a law they still going to have plenty of targets to go, you know, get his money's worth. But that area total might not be as Goddie as we're using seeing.

Do you need to keep an eye on Landry as well. Questionable with an ankle injury obviously does still have a, you know, seemingly good chance to go get out there. Probably going to have tracone Smith step in and three wide receiver sets more on that in just a bit.

Patriots quarterback, Mac Jones ruled out as expected with that ankle injury Brian Horner is now going to start this week for matchup and Lambo. Stay away from this offense. If you can, I know Ramondra Stevens has finally has that role that we like in OK, I'm not saying you can't start him under any circumstances.

But this Patriots offense is implied score 15.5 points. I'm going to mention I mentioned that implied total lot and just if you don't know like every game gets a spread and you get your over under and by that you can basically see how many points each team is implied the score.

Then you can rank those to get a better idea of each offense instead of always going off of the combined over under. So yeah, brutal terrible. We don't want to address them if we can avoid it.
