| 0:00.0 | Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football live. I'm your host, Justin Boone, the lead fantasy analyst at The Score. Appreciate you joining me today. I hope you're doing well. It's October the 1st. We're already in the second month of the season technically here. Hoping that your teams are 3 and 0 or at least 2 and 1 so far. If you're anything else, we've got a little bit of work to do, but that's what we're here for. We're going to help you out with that. A lot of stuff to go over today. We'll go over the latest news, a bunch of injury updates as usual. Then I want to talk about my favorite starts and sits this week. And then we're going to open up the mailbag and we'll try to answer as many of your questions as we can here. I you set for week four and i want to start off with last night's game there's not a ton to go over in |
| 0:59.5 | this one i mean it was kind of similar to last thursday where you had the weaker team hang in there |
| 1:05.6 | for a half or so really put up a pretty good fight and then in the second half things kind of ended up |
| 1:11.7 | turning out as we expected on the bengal side pretty much everything went as projected there joe burrow |
| 1:17.6 | boyd chase they all had really nice stat lines chase just looking like an instant star already man |
| 1:23.7 | it's it's great to see that tight end cj is almost the surprise beneficiary of Higgins being out. We kind of speculated it could be Auden Tate maybe, who's their number four receiver, stepped in. He had a catch or so, but it was really Uzoma that just went off in that game, had a couple of touchdowns, 95 yards as well. Super fun guy, too. He's great in interviews. Been that way for a long time. I wouldn't get too excited about him in redraft leagues, though. I don't think it's a guy that you're really going to want to go out and pick up and put in your lineup. I know the big stat line and tight end so rough and maybe you think, okay, I could go get him and he could help me out there unless T. Higgins misses a bunch of time, I don't think you're really going to turn to |
| 2:04.4 | Zoma. And Higgins, the Bengals said that if the game was on Sunday, he probably would have been able to play this week. So you have to think with 10 days off that he'll be back for week five there. The 10 days off could also be important for Joe Mixen, who got a little bit dinged up at the end of that game. |
| 2:20.8 | I mean, fantasy managers might have been expecting more from him in this one. It was a really good matchup. He only came away with 67 yards and a touchdown had one catch for negative two yards in the game. It's an okay night. I mean, Zach Taylor said after the game that the injury called |
| 2:34.9 | it a minor ankle issue. So fingers crossed that that's true. We're going to see him back out there |
| 2:40.2 | next week and those 10 days off. We're going to help him get nice and healthy for us. On the |
| 2:44.7 | jag side, Carlos Hyde kind of a surprise scratch right before the game there. And it really set |
| 2:50.5 | James Robinson up to have a nice |
| 2:52.1 | game. Big performance from him kind of reminiscent of what he did last year, 18 carries, |
| 2:57.2 | 78 yards, two touchdowns in the game. We also saw Leviska Chonot have his best game of the |
| 3:02.6 | season. And maybe a little surprising after on Wednesday show, I talked about him as a potential |
| 3:07.5 | guy that you'd want to sell, that things might not get any better, that get a really low A dot, |
| 3:12.9 | but we couldn't project that DJ Chark was going to get hurt early in this game. |
| 3:17.6 | Looks like a pretty serious injury, broken ankle. |
| 3:20.2 | He's going to be out for the year. |
| 3:22.0 | And then we saw Cheneau put up his best game of the season here. Six catches, 99 yards. Had another 11 yards on the ground. And really was the only one to do much in the receiving core in that game. So it looks good for him. And he was somebody that I was very high on before the season. Sucks that for him to get this opportunity, we had to see Jark get hurt, but that's the way it goes |
| 3:41.2 | sometimes. Marvin Jones had a fairly quiet night there, but now with Chark out, his outlooks |
| 3:46.0 | a little brighter as well. So really awful seeing that kind of injury for a young player who |
