| 0:00.0 | Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at the score. |
| 0:23.6 | Appreciate you downloading and listening to the show today. |
| 0:26.0 | And it's been another fun week around the NFL. |
| 0:28.2 | The trades keep coming, especially at Receiver. |
| 0:30.7 | We talked about the ramifications of the DeAndre Hopkins trade, him going to the Chiefs, |
| 0:35.1 | what that means for Hopkins and what that means for the other Chiefs players we talked about that on Wednesday show with Jamie Eisenberg at CBS Sports so if you haven't listened to that make sure you go back and check it out but now we got to shift our focus to week eight we got to get your lineups ready we got to get your benches sorted out so let's begin with my favorite starts and sits for week eight. Then we'll talk about a |
| 0:54.4 | couple players that I'm stashing and a couple that I think you need to drop as soon as possible. |
| 0:58.7 | So let's kick it off with the starts and at quarterback, Jared Goff hosting the Titans. |
| 1:03.8 | Goff has been on a roll lately. Three straight top 10 fantasy finishes. He's up to the QB12 in fantasy |
| 1:09.6 | points per game on the season. And the |
| 1:11.6 | lions are big favorites at home for this one against the Titans defense that's actually |
| 1:16.0 | better against the run than they are against the pass. Tennessee hasn't allowed a running |
| 1:19.9 | back to eclipse 65 rushing yards on them this year, but they've given up top 12 fantasy weeks to |
| 1:25.4 | three of the six quarterbacks they've faced on the season. So get ready for Goff to make that four or seven. He's a QB one this week. At running back, Kareem Hunt and the Chiefs, they're traveling to Vegas to take on the Raiders. And it's really hard not to like what Hunt's done since he rejoined the Chiefs this season, right? Over the last month, RB 8 in fantasy points per game he has |
| 1:45.1 | become a locked in starter in your lineups if you have them and the Raiders |
| 1:49.1 | they're the eighth easiest matchup for fantasy backs plus the chiefs are 10 |
| 1:52.9 | point favorites in this game so I would expect a lot of positive game script I |
| 1:56.4 | would expect a big day for hunt at receiver Jalen Waddle versus the Cardinals and this has everything to do with Tua Taga Viloa coming back for Miami this week. At least that's the expectation. I'm recording this on Thursday afternoon. We expect that Tua is going to return and get the start in this game. And Tua doesn't solve all Miami's problems, but it sure helps the skill position, guys. They have struggled to produce while he's been out. Waddle, over 100 yards in the opener with Tua, then didn't top 50 yards in a single game since then when they had the backups in. It also helps Miami's face in the Cardinals. They're allowing the seventh most fantasy points to wide outs this year. So Waddle, take them off your bench, get them back into your lineup. He could be a fantasy wide receiver too this week. And then for my start at tight end, Cade Otten against the Falcons, you know about all the injuries that the Buccaneers are dealing with. Chris Godwin, he's done for the year. Mike Evans, he's out for at least a few weeks, maybe a month or more. They got some interesting receivers that you can pick up. |
| 2:51.6 | We've talked about them. I had them in the Waverwire column. We discussed it on yesterday's show. I like Jalen McMillan quite a bit. He would be my favorite of the bunch. But don't forget about their tight end, Kate Otten. He's put up at least 40 yards or a touchdown in five consecutive games. and when all the injuries happened in week seven, it was Otten who caught eight to ten targets for a hundred yards. |
| 3:11.3 | Those are huge numbers for a tight end, especially this season. |
| 3:14.3 | And he's got tight end one fantasy potential as long as Evans is out. |
| 3:18.3 | Now we could jump to the other side of the street here. |
