What is up? It's the rant. My name is Jeff Radcliffe and it is Friday, October 15th, and I was all set at the top of the show to be like,

Hey, Zach Erick, it's got traded to the Cardinals. No, you can't use them this week twice, but Carnage has since ensued over roughly the last 25 minutes here, numerous big announcements. Nick Chubb will not be playing this week. Terry McClaren goes DNP on a Friday, which is usually never a good sign. Christian McCaffrey will not be back. It's terrible. It's terrible today. It is terrible.

It does look like Joe Mixon will be fine. But anyway, I want to dive into everything here. Of course, if you want the entire breakdown of this slate, go over to FTN fantasy.com and check out my weekly article, the report. I cover every single player in some way, shape or form, all those players are mentioned. And I tell you what I'm doing with them. And I give you some nuggets of insight. Let's start with the London game. Don't forget about the London game Miami and Jacksonville. That'll be early 930 Eastern 930 a.m. Eastern on Sunday morning. So don't forget about that.

But really, I mean, on the Miami side, Miles Gaskin, we've seen the two polar extremes of him. But I think this, here's a stat that's really telling about Gaskin. He's one of just eight backs to average over five targets per game. But of that group, he by far has the fewest touches per game. He's averaging 11.2. So in other words, he's a passing down back. And what do we know about passing down backs in games where they're losing. They do a pretty nice job for fantasy in games where their team is winning. They don't do anything.

Anything for fantasy. That's Miles Gaskin in a nutshell. And if you think they're beating Jacksonville, then you kind of have your answer for your expectations here. On the other side, James Robinson is absolutely rolling.

22 forced mistakles on the season as a runner. He's one of just three runners with at least 50 carries and over four yards after contact per attempt.

The Dolphins is the number two fantasy matchup for running back. So get it up there. And actually, I think you could stream Trevor Lawrence, if you really needed one Miami allows 305 net passing hours per game, 2.4 passing scores per game.

Green Bay and Chicago, I'm not going to beat around the bush here. We know Dave Montgomery is out. And Damien Williams is out.

So Khalil Herbert opportunity knocks brother. Khalil Herbert is a top 20 fantasy running back for me, especially with the carnage this week.

And actually pretty effective last week, more effective than Damien Williams on the ground, even though Williams had the better fantasy day, 2.72 yards after contact per attempt. It's not special.

But it pops when you look at 2.19 from Damien Williams. I don't hate this one. Otherwise, I'm keeping pretty much everybody else on the bench. And on the other side, you're starting who you have Aaron Rodgers,

Devonte Adams, Aaron Jones, not going as far as AJ Dylan, just yet, but we're getting ever so close to him being in flex territory on the regular.

I mean, you could flex him if you needed to have him at RB 33, but I really don't love flexing a guy who's only averaging 9.4 touches per game on the season.

Since Natty and Detroit, as I mentioned, Joe Mixin looks like he's going to be just fine yesterday was actually a rest day. So that's fortunate. Sometimes they're rest days. Sometimes they're not. You never really can fully tell with the NFL. Hey, I coming into this morning, I thought, I don't know about Joe Mixin, but you know what, Nick Chubb should be fine. Yeah, other way around.

So Joe Mixin should be fine. They have nobody else here. This is a fantastic match up. They're not going to all the sudden give Chris Evans 15 carries fantastic match up against Detroit. We know how friendly they've been to opposing backfields.

1.2 rushing scores allowed per game 112.2 rushing yards per game to opposing backfield. So it's a solid one there.

Burrows quarterback 12. Of course, you know what you're doing at wide receivers to talk about it yesterday, but you can still use T Higgins and Tyler Boyd as wide receiver threes.

Deandre Swift is getting it done in the passing game seven targets per game. 29 catches. That's the most among running backs and interestingly enough, since the 90s seen the second most targets for running backs. So

Deandre Swift really saw a play will keep an eye on Jamal Williams, by the way, he was dealing with an illness yesterday and you know what that.

You never know, illness could mean COVID. It may not, but it could. Otherwise, we're using TJ Hawkinson, who looks like he'll be good to go. That's about it. Houston Indie. We know we're only using random cooks on the Houston side. We know who we're using on the Indie side, but Jonathan Taylor has just been awesome.

25 red zone carries. It's the most in the league. Eight gold line carries. It's the most in the league. He finally converted one for a score last week.

And he's seeing stack boxes, but he's still getting it done 33% of the time the box has been stacked against. And that's a fifth highest rate in the league.
