| 0:11.7 | Hello and welcome to Fantasy Football Today in 5. |
| 0:14.7 | I'm Chris Towers here, joined by Dan Schneier to break down Monday night football |
| 0:18.8 | and to take a quick peek at the top |
| 0:20.9 | waiver wire targets for week eight as always if you want the full list of waiver |
| 0:25.2 | our targets along with the breakdown for every position make sure you listen to the full |
| 0:28.6 | episode of fantasy football today on your normal podcast feeds we will start with Monday's |
| 0:34.2 | game between the Saints and Seahawks tonight ask a couple couple of big questions. And honestly, it was such an ugly game. And really the, the prime, we've talked a lot about |
| 0:44.1 | this year how the prime time games have been mostly awesome, not the case in week seven, |
| 0:48.9 | which I guess is fitting for the way things went overall in week seven. But Saints won 13 to 10, and we'll start with their side of the game for our first big question, which is, is there any reason to have anyone on this team on your roster except for Alvin Camara and Michael Thomas, I guess? Yeah, you can still roster Thomas because of the upside, as we talked about all throughout the offseason. he was good last year even with Taysam Hill. So you can roster him. But other than that, there's really no reason. Even in two quarterback leagues, I mean, in two quarterback leagues, you can roster James Winston. But in super flexes, maybe you can roster him because that's the situation you need two quarterbacks. But you wouldn't feel comfortable starting him. Yeah, it's, it's pretty bleak on that side. And I guess the only hope is that Michael Thomas |
| 1:31.7 | comes back and they become a little bit more pass heavy. It's been a lot of Alvin Camara 20 yards |
| 1:37.8 | for like 20 carries for like 51 yards in today's game, a lot of games like that. But he did have |
| 1:43.0 | 10 catches for 128 yards and a touchdown. |
| 1:45.7 | So this was a big game for him. |
| 1:47.6 | And I think we'll see more of that moving forward. |
| 1:49.5 | I think Michael Thomas is pretty much the only hope for this offense. |
| 1:53.0 | And well, I'll ask a similar question or the other side of the ball. |
| 1:57.0 | Can you trust anyone on the Seahawks offense as a fantasy starter? D.K. Matcalfe was lucky to |
| 2:03.4 | hit the 184-yard touchdown because if it's not for that, he had two catches for 96 yards |
| 2:07.8 | with the touchdown on five targets. Tyler Lockett had two catches for 12 yards on three targets. |
