Let's get those lineups set one last time here for the 2021 season right now on fantasy football today in five.

0:10.8

Good morning. Welcome to the show. Happy Sunday. Let's watch some football. Let's see who makes the playoffs.

0:16.0

And let's see who wins your fantasy championships if you're playing into week 18.

0:19.3

Adam Azor and Heath Cummings here. And we still don't really know who's going to be playing their starters. He's going to be resting people. Man, I don't know that we saw Dak Prescott throwing five touchdown passes last night in basically three quarters. But let's talk about Green Bay here. We know they are going to play, Heath. We just don't know for how long. So how are you approaching them?

0:53.0

I think you can look at it kind of like the Cowboys last night. I don't think they'll play as much as the Cowboys did, but you talked about it, D. Dact through five touchdown passes. And basically Ezekiel Elliott, C.D. Liam and Amari Cooper had terrible fantasy days. So it's very, very risky for anyone on the Packers.

0:55.2

Devonte Adams might be the one I'm most comfortable with as a number

0:57.2

three wide receiver. very risky for anyone on the Packers. Devonte Adams might be the one I'm most comfortable with

0:56.8

as a number three wide receiver. I'm okay with Dylan as a high-end flex. I do prefer Dylan to Aaron

1:02.1

Jones, but that's kind of a guess as well. What about Samajap, Ryan? He's one of those

1:06.0

waiver wire running backs. Can you have a Kenneth Gamewell type performance? You think he gets that

1:09.9

role? You took the words right out of my mouth. I think he'll have a Kenneth Gainwell type

1:14.3

performance. I wouldn't be surprised if he gets into the end zone. He'll catch a few passes, maybe running the ball 12 to 15 times. Solid number two running back. Same game, Nick Chubb. He's been a little beat up. It's been kind of limited this week.

1:26.5

Do you have full confidence in him?

1:28.2

Do you have half confidence in Nick Chubb?

1:30.3

I have him ranked on little beat up. It's been kind of limited this week. Do you have full confidence in him? Do you have

1:28.4

half confidence in Nick Chubb? I have him ranked higher than Somaget P. Ryan and I have P. Ryan

1:33.4

ranked as a starter. So there are things to be concerned about, but in the week 18 universe, I think

1:40.2

you start Nick Chub as the number one running back. Well, you can be concerned about Darren

1:43.3

Waller because he's a game time decision and he's the night game.

1:46.4

So that stinks.

1:47.7

So what are you doing if you have Darren Waller?

1:49.8

Well, see if you can get Jared Cook because then you could just wait. but if you can't do that,
