| 0:00.0 | Let's talk winners and losers from Thursday Night Football next on Fantasy Football today in 5. |
| 0:10.8 | Welcome to FFTN5. I'm Chris Towers. I'm here with Adam Azer, and we're talking about Thursday Night Football. |
| 0:15.2 | And then we're going to talk a couple of notes from the injury report for week 8. |
| 0:20.1 | But first, Adam, you wanted to give us some thoughts on Gabe Davis. The floor is yours. |
| 0:25.6 | Yeah, well, floor. I mean, this guy, he's got a very low floor, but we did see some upside there. So good for Gabe Davis. He was started in 41% of leagues and he scored almost 24 fantasy points. And I feel bad because I thought we should sit them. And I could not sit them in any of my four leagues. I got lucky that Josh Palmer and Tyler Lockett didn't practice. And I said, fine. I'll start Gabe Davis. And four, I have 11 leagues. But four with Gabe Davis, I started him and all of them. And I'm lucky. But I'll tell you what, Chris, we've pretty much never, ever seen a game like this from |
| 0:57.0 | Gabe Davis. |
| 0:57.9 | Second most targets of his career. |
| 1:00.0 | Most catches by three, three more catches than he's ever had in a regular season game. |
| 1:04.9 | But what really jumps out is the AdDOT. |
| 1:07.0 | AD was 6.7 yards. |
| 1:09.2 | That is the third lowest ADOT of Gabe Davis's career in any |
| 1:12.8 | game with five or more targets. It's just unusual thing that Josh Allen's been struggling, |
| 1:18.0 | throwing the ball deep. He's got the shoulder injury that's obviously bothering him. So they turned |
| 1:22.4 | Gabe Davis into a short area guy who got 14, what do you get, 12 targets, game, nine catches. |
| 1:28.0 | It was completely out of the norm. |
| 1:30.0 | And quite frankly, I don't really think it means anything going forward. |
| 1:33.8 | This isn't sour grapes. |
| 1:34.9 | I feel bad and I was totally wrong. |
| 1:37.3 | But unfortunately with Gabe Davis, what happens in one week does not mean anything for future weeks. |
| 1:42.8 | So if you started him, you got lucky. |
| 1:44.8 | I think I was wrong. |
| 1:46.8 | I accept that and I'm sorry. |
