Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast. I'm your host, Justin Boone. Thanks for firing up the show today here. I'm fresh off a Reddit AMA this afternoon. I answered a ton of questions over there for about, I don't know, an hour and a half or so. And you can find the link to it over on my Twitter page if you want at Justin Boone. You can go check that out. Covered a bunch of different topics, stuff that I think would be useful to most fantasy managers. There were a few that that were very specific but overall we hit on a lot of general things too including

some stuff that's just happened mark Andrews Joe Burrow those injuries from

Thursday night and Andrews out for the year with a significant ankle issue you

always hate to see that we never want to have these players dealing with bad

injuries it does feel kind of worse though when it's a big fantasy star like Andrews. And the Ravens, they do have a strong backup behind him and Isaiah likely. So if you're an Andrews manager or if you've been struggling at tight end, I would be bidden big to get likely in next week's Waverwire run. He's going to be a low end tight end one with potentially mid range tight

and one opportunities the rest of the season but we'll talk more about that on Monday's

WaiverWire show for Joe Burrow we didn't even have a timeline yet when we were doing the

AMA and then about 10 minutes after I finished we found out that he is going to be done

for the year as well and he has to undergo wrist surgery is going to repair a torn legament in that wrist so just a crushing blow for the bengals jemar chase he could still be a fantasy starter you know based on talent and volume but he's going to be more of a wide receiver too with jake browning under center and then everybody else in that offense is going to take a hit t higgins he isn't even even healthy himself and Joe Mixin, he's going to be a volume guy and he's not going to have as many scoring opportunities with Burrow not around. So that pushes him down into the low end RB2 range. And depending on matchups, maybe even the high end RB3 area. So just horrendous stuff, both in real life, life you know for these guys that have to

deal with these injuries they got a rehab from this now for the next year maybe and

then for fantasy managers who are left scrambling down the stretch I'm not trying to

equate those two by any means but just saying we hate when these outcomes happen

when these guys get hurt so for now we got to get you caught up on the rest of the injuries here heading into

week 11.

That's what today's show is all about. So let's start with quarterbacks. Deshawn Watson. Now, we know he's done for the year already. The only reason that I want to bring it up is just as a reminder that Dorian Thompson Robinson is going to be starting this week. So that's going to be a downgrade for all the past catchers in Cleveland.

And DTR, he's just a low-end QB2 streamer. is going to be starting this week. So that's going to be a downgrade for all the past catchers in Cleveland.

And DTR, he's just a low-end QB2 streamer, you know, two quarterbacks, super flex leagues. That's where you're going to look to him. Hopefully he can do a little more than, you know, what we saw in that week four game against the Ravens. I'd like to see him get back to some of what we saw in the preseason when he was kind of wheeling and dealing out there and looked like he could be a guy that could have a really nice future in the NFL, but the jury still out on him.

The good news is that the system strong, that offensive line, the weapons around him are good.

So not impossible that we could see him keep this offense moving and maybe show us something down the stretch here, but he's still got to prove it.

Justin Fields, he was a full participant in practice all week, so he's going to be starting for the Bears.

That's great news, especially, I mean, for DJ Moore, he was just destroying before Fields went down.

So very excited to see that Bears offense with Fields back.
