| 0:00.0 | A barrage of NFL news today with major fantasy impacts and our favorite player prop for Thursday night football right now on fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:16.0 | What's going on? I'm Adamazer with Dave Richard recording on this Wednesday night. We've got a lot to talk about here. Dave, Aaron Rogers, not going to play this week, may not even play next week, not vaccinated, has COVID. Can you start, if Devante Adams is back, can you start Devante Adams this week against the Chiefs? You can, but I think you should have number two wide receiver expectations for him, even though it's a matchup against the Chiefs, even though the Chiefs don't figure to put a ton of pressure on Jordan Love. I did a lot of watching of Jordan Love today. I don't think he's ready to be even close to the type of quarterback that Aaron Rogers has been. I think the Packers are probably going to lean on their running backs for this matchup, and it makes perfect sense for them to do so. |
| 0:56.1 | Adams could end up being a six for 60 type of receiver. If he scores on top of that, |
| 1:01.4 | that's amazing. You should start him, but do so thinking that he's going to perform like a number |
| 1:05.7 | two wide receiver. He was pretty good several years ago when Rogers went out, and that was |
| 1:10.0 | with Brett Hunley, and I believe Jordy Nelson and Randall were on the team, and he actually stepped up. He wasn't bad, but he wasn't Devante Adams, the one that we know and love. O'Dell Beckham, you think he's played his last game with the Browns? He was told not to attend practice on Wednesday. You know, his father put something on Instagram that was pretty critical of |
| 1:27.5 | Baker Mayfield. And they might be headed to divorce here. What do you make of all this? |
| 1:32.3 | It's a tricky situation because they, they've got a lot of money dedicated to him for this year. |
| 1:37.5 | And if they release him, he's getting that money unless another team picks him up. I don't know |
| 1:43.2 | what's going to happen. Usually when a player is sent |
| 1:46.1 | home for more than a couple of days, it's a permanent type thing. And I think it's interesting that |
| 1:51.1 | this is happening the day after the trade deadline. It's almost like the Brown said, hey, we couldn't trade |
| 1:57.1 | you. We don't know if there's value in letting you go and signing with another team. You could come back to haunt us. So we're just going to send you home. Let's see what happens. For now, if you've got Beckham on your bench, why? But also, you can't start them at all. And you probably wouldn't be able to start them if you were practicing this week anyway. Sequin Barclay is on the reserve COVID list. So Booker's actually been pretty solid and to get the Raiders this week. He's got in volume. What do you make of this? Yeah, that's true. What do you make of this situation for the Giants backfield? I think it's going to be Devante Booker for another matchup against the Raiders. And I think it's a good matchup for him I think that he's been playing |
| 2:34.9 | look it's obvious he's been playing 70 plus percent of the snaps he's been getting a good amount |
| 2:39.6 | of work looked okay last week getting 120 plus total yards against the cheaps I think fantasy |
| 2:45.4 | managers are going to continue to start him as a number two fantasy running back until sayquan |
| 2:49.1 | barclay returns and christian mcalfrey any chance we see him this week? Sequin? Did I say that? Christian McCaffrey. Oh, okay. I didn't hear you say anybody's name there. My bad. I'm a technical snafu. I think there's a chance that McCaffrey plays. I'm sure they'd love to have him back. I know that Chubbard did have a |
| 3:07.9 | nice stat line last week, but he really hasn't been that great. Okay. Let's get McCaffrey back in there, |
| 3:13.6 | please. Michael Thomas. Everybody knows by now Michael Thomas is done for the year. Yeah, very disappointing. |
| 3:21.4 | You got any interest in Marquess Callaway or Tariquan Smith? No, and I've actually started to lose interest in Taysam Hill. Oh, yeah. Yeah, I think people are overlooking that a little bit. It's like, oh, he's just going to be fine. Michael Thomas was a pretty big deal for Taysam Hill. He was. He does have to throw the ball a little bit to have fantasy value. Okay, but I'm still interested. Look, I still made him, he was. He does have to throw the ball a little bit to have fantasy value. |
| 3:41.6 | Okay, |
| 3:42.0 | but I'm still interested. Look, I still made him a top priority for me in my Russell Wilson League. Hopefully that's only for one more week. But I'm still interested, but it's not as good of a situation, obviously. Okay. What's a good situation for player props for Thursday night, Jets and Colts? Did we hit it last week? |
