0:00.0 | What is up, it's the rant. My name is Jeff Rackliffe and it is Monday September 13th. Uh-oh. |
0:25.8 | Well done, lost their minds yesterday. Just like they do every year at week one. If there is one constant that I've learned working in the fantasy football industry, it's that people lose their minds in week one and I get it. Man, we spent all this time months and months and months of time building up to the season. The season finally starts and a lot of things that we thought were going to happen just simply don't happen. It's a part of football. It's a part of fantasy football. And ultimately, |
0:55.8 | I think the best piece of advice is the same advice I give every stinking year. Chill, just relax for a bit. It's week one. You draft the players for a reason. We don't need to go doing anything crazy. You don't want to be that person when we roll around to week, whatever, seven, eight, 12, 14. And there is a breakout player and you say, yeah, I dropped them in week two. We don't want to be that person. So chill. Uh, we will dive into everything on the show today. Just a couple. |
1:25.8 | Quick updates where he moster. Uh, looks like he's going to be placed on injured reserve. It'll be about an eight week absence give or take. So I will talk about |
1:35.6 | moster when we get to the 49ers game. Uh, Rashad Penny is going to be sideline for a little bit. So he's no longer the cuff. Uh, at least a few weeks. If not longer, Jerry. |
1:47.2 | Judy is going to miss some time with a high ankle sprain. My guess is four to six weeks on that high ankle sprain and Ryan Fitzpatrick also going to be shut down for a bit. He will be, uh, on injured reserve here. Remember, it's three games. You have to miss on injured reserve with the hip injury. So we'll see how long he's actually out for, as of now, the team doesn't appear to be interested in signing a quarterback. Cam Newton. So Taylor Heinecke will be the guy for now. |
2:16.1 | Uh, but I want to dive into each of these games so we can sort of process what we saw. Again, this show them. The, the whole idea here is I don't want to be here all day with you, right? |
2:24.6 | I'm not doing a Dan Carlin five hour long podcast as much as I love Dan Carlin. I freaking love Dan Carlin. I'm not doing that for you. So we'll be in. We'll be out very quickly. We will start with the Philadelphia Eagles and Atlanta Falcons. In this one, I will tell you what, the Eagles offense look pretty good. The Falcons offense. Not so much. But Jalen Hertz solid, man. |
2:45.8 | Really solid. And what I like specifically about him is the rushing yards were there goes out puts up 62 yards on the ground. |
2:55.8 | And you know, really just got it done through the air as well. Had a nice connection working with Devonte Smith eight targets for him. Jalen Rager got in the mix with six targets. Dallas Gotter got in the end zone. |
3:08.4 | Everything really looked like it was working. And by the way, Kenny Gainwell is the cuff in that backfield on the other side. |
3:13.6 | Hey, Mike Davis had a tough match up. So not worried about that was the volume that was key. Calvin Ridley, better days are ahead. I hope for this offense. And Kyle Pitz had eight targets. |
3:25.1 | So while not a big fantasy day, the volume is key at tight end. Don't you forget it. |
3:31.2 | On to our next contest, which is the Pittsburgh Steelers and Buffalo bills. Don't worry about Josh Allen. It was a tough match up. Don't worry about Josh Allen. This is why we don't want to trap quarterbacks early, by the way. |
3:43.2 | But this one got off to a surprise start with Zach Moss in active. Now is Zach Moss a drop. I think he is unfortunately. |
3:51.6 | If Matt Parade is ahead of him on the depth chart, that does pretty much tell us what we need to know. Devon Singles area actually pretty good here as well. Not a heavy volume day, but pretty good. |
4:01.9 | On the other side, nothing else really to be said, Stefan Diggs was fine 14 targets, even though he didn't put up a massive line. He was just fine. |
4:10.8 | Ben Ralthusberger's arm did look like, you know, he still is doesn't have the zip on the balls. So that's something we have to monitor going forward, because that's going to impact these guys. Johnson was banged up for |
4:21.0 | briefly, but he did still see 10 targets. Five for 36, nothing but the touchdown was good. And Naji Harris didn't get off to a spectacular start, but I'm not really worried about him. |
4:31.4 | It was him in pretty much nobody else in that backfield, which certainly for our purposes is encouraging. So on to our next contest. |
4:42.4 | Minnesota sense and Nadi over time game. So the numbers got a little juiced up there for Joe mix of 29 carries for him, but he'll be just fine. He's a back end or be one. |
4:52.6 | Jamar Chase proves why we can't buy into preseason narratives. Five for 101 on seven targets. He looked phenomenal. I like T Higgins as well. They're getting in the end zone Tyler Boyd, not a big day, but still he'll be solid. |
