Hey, everybody.

It's Monday, October 24th, 2020.

Welcome to the NFL fantasy show.

It's me, your man, M.G. Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and the specialist, cast of dozens that help us put this on every week. And we are, remember you much the halfway point now with the fantasy regular season. It has flown by weirdly. It has. And we're at the point of the year where, like, you have to be honest with your team and be like, I'm a contender and I need to build for the playoffs. Or like, I need to do something quick to save my season. It's pretty much it. At this point, you have to take an assessment of where you are and decide what your strategy is going to be for the next few weeks to come. We will help you along those lines. We'll do it with our biggest takeaways of the week. give you some waiver-wire targets, especially this week. It's going to be important.

Plus, we're going to have a little bit of some

evaluation here. We kind of look at some players that are stock up or maybe stocked down. But let's

start with our fantasy headlines and very important today because there are some notable injuries

that took place on Sunday.

The most notable being the confirmation of a torn ACL for Brees Hall, the rookie running back

for the Jets who had been playing so well the last few weeks.

We were talking about him maybe being a league winner.

And unfortunately, Florio, he is gone now.

And I guess all things sort of turn to Michael Carter in that backfield. Yeah, unfortunately, like 10

minutes before his injury, I tweeted that Brees Hall should be in the 101 conversation next season.

And then this happened. And I mean, Michael Carter isn't going to give you what Brees Hall was giving

you, but he can be close. And Michael Carter, I think, is someone that comes in and immediately is an RB2, and he'll have RB1 weeks because he should dominate the touches out of that Jets backfield. Now he's going to get a lot of targets. And Michael Carter is a very good running back in his own right. Like, I was very excited about him before they drafted Breece Hall. If he's on waivers, I don't think he's on a lot, but if he is, spend whatever you have to spend to get him. I would imagine he is probably gone in most leagues. But like we always say, it's worth the look. Just go and troll the waiver wire, see if maybe he's out there. And if so, definitely put a claim in for him.

If you have him, though, now you know that you have a running back who is stepping into a much bigger workload and going to have a whole lot more opportunity. But unfortunate news for Brise Hall, wish him the best, and hopefully he's back, ready to go sometime next season. In Detroit, we were excited to get Amman Ross St. Brown back in. He had been banged up. The Lions had been off. And then he suffers a concussion in the first quarter of the game against the Dallas Cowboys. I mean, this not much to say other than we're going to watch and kind of see what the protocol is going to be. I guess in the short term, if he can't go more for Josh Reynolds potentially. Yeah, I think Josh Reynolds and

T.J. Hawkinson would be the two big winners. Like, I know Caliph Raymond had a decent game this week, but I don't know about you. I wouldn't be wanting to do the Caliph Raymond thing. Not sure I can trust Caliph Raymond, but we'll keep an eye on this as we go through the week and see if maybe St. Brown can clear protocol and be available for the Lions this week. Those are just a couple

of the big injuries, but there were a slew of them that took place over the weekend. And Florio tweeted about some of them, you can get an idea of who made that list. I mean, you see there, we talked about Breece Hall. Chuba Hubbard suffered an ankle injury. Mike Boone, D.K. Metcalf, although the news on him a little more promising than we

originally thought, Mike Williams, Alan Lazard, Corey Davis, Ryan Tanniel, David Njoku,
