| 0:00.0 | Sunday of week three is just hours away. Let's get the injury updates right now on fantasy football today in five. |
| 0:10.5 | All right, we got some injury news for you, but we also have weather news for you. Weatherman Heath Cummings is here. |
| 0:16.5 | Let's take a look at the radar. Heath, we've got some rain forecast in the northeast. We got the jets Patriots, the Ravens, not exactly the northeast Ravens Colts, and Washington against Buffalo could be dealing with some rain. |
| 0:28.6 | I think the worst conditions are probably going to be in New Jersey of those three games, but are you making any starter sit decisions based on that? |
| 0:36.6 | The most New Yorker thing you've ever done is indicate that Washington and Baltimore, not exactly not really in the northeast. |
| 0:44.6 | I'm not a weatherman, but Kevin Roth is. He's the guy that I generally follow for my weather information. He did put out a post this morning. It doesn't sound like Baltimore and Washington are going to be that bad. |
| 0:56.6 | Maybe a little bit wet, maybe a tiny bit of wind. The only game I'm really concerned about New England and the judge, which is sad because we were so excited about their passing games. |
| 1:05.6 | That over under is all the way down to 36 now, which is just terribly low. We'll be one of the lowest of the season. |
| 1:13.6 | I really like to get away from Garrett Wilson, but he's still a number three wide receiver. |
| 1:18.6 | So if we look at Garrett Wilson, Zay Flowers and Gabe Davis in those northeastern games, how do you rank those three? |
| 1:26.6 | I would go full PPR. I'm going to make this move this morning. I'd go Zay then Wilson then Davis and non PPR. I'd go Zay Davis Wilson. |
| 1:37.6 | All right, let's talk about money and I football. We have two games, but the Bengals Rams game is the tougher one here. Joe burrow is questionable. |
| 1:44.6 | We don't know if he's going to play. So what are we supposed to do about all of those passing game options on Sunday? |
| 1:51.6 | I am playing Jamar Chase and I'm playing Tehiggins. And I'm just not I'm not really thinking twice about it. |
| 1:57.6 | With burrow, I'd like to have Stafford or Baker. If I'm trying to wait it out, I got to call a question last night about do I just play Russell Wilson or wait for burrow? |
| 2:05.6 | I think you just play Russell Wilson unless I get possible in the next two or three hours. |
| 2:09.6 | We're going to get a report from one of the major reporters saying he's okay. Burrows definitely playing or the opposite. |
| 2:15.6 | But if you have somebody that you view as a top 15 quarterback on your bench and you don't have a way to wait for Monday, you definitely just play that top 15 quarterback. |
| 2:24.6 | Yeah, I don't know. I just I don't really have a lot. Right. Top 15. Right. I just have a ton of confidence in him. I'm starting Geno Smith over. I think that's an easy call. |
| 2:31.6 | D. A. Metcalf is going to play. I started Brock Purdy over burrow. It's really to me. The Higgins thing is I'll start Chase Higgins. I don't know. For example, I just got a text message. Should I start Mike Evans or T Higgins? |
| 2:41.6 | I said, look, you can wait till Monday, right? But even if burrow, like if burrow plays, I said I'd start Higgins. |
| 2:46.6 | But if you have a guy that's in the Evans range and it's a Sunday decision, I think, you know, Higgins, I just don't, don't view the same way as Chase with with Jake Browning. I just don't view him as a must start. |
