Welcome everyone to the score fantasy football podcast.

I'm your host, Justin Boone.

We are coming to you on a Friday afternoon ahead of week six, and we had a pretty uneventful Thursday night game between the Chiefs and the Broncos last night. Just Denver's so terrible. I mean, I want to give Sean Payton the benefit of the doubt. Like maybe he's doing this on purpose. Maybe he's trying to tank, you know, some of the decision making, the playing time for certain guys, that defense. Like, man, it is just so bad. At this point, we're just kind of hoping that the Broncos are going to have that fire sale, right? Sell off all these fantasy relevant guys. Let's see them go to some other teams and if they can do anything there. And let's see some of these younger guys on that Broncos' offense step up. My God, let's get Marvin Mim some playing time. I'd love to see what he could do down the stretch. But regardless, that's not what we're here to talk about today. We got a lot of injuries that I want to update you on. So we can get right into it here. We will start like always with quarterbacks. Deshawn Watson, he is out again. And this one is so weird because they acted like he was cleared to play in week four,

but that he kind of personally chose not to.

Then they had the buy.

So you figure he's going to be back this week.

And now we're in week six.

He didn't practice at all.

He's going to sit again.

And I saw a report right before we came on that this could be a multi-week thing that he might miss a few more games.

So I'm sure we'll get another update over the weekend. And I'm sure Sunday morning, some of the national reporters will be talking about it. But for fantasy, PJ Walker is set to start. And clearly they didn't love what they saw from the rookie Dorian Thompson Robinson in week four. But Walker's a pretty solid backup. He's got a couple things going against him this week, and one is the fact that he's the backup running this offense, so it's not going to be as smooth as it is when Watson's out there. Another is the 49ers defense, very tough matchup, and they're not going to have offensive lineman Joel Botonio out there playing, and the Browns are going to have a very difficult time trying to stop that pass rush because of it. I mean, they would have had a hard time anyway, but losing one of your best offensive linemen definitely hurts as well. Also, the weather in this game isn't looking very good. There's going to be some rain throughout the afternoon. It's going to be sustained winds of at least 15 miles an hour and that's when it starts to really impact

the passing attack and the kicking game that's when it becomes an issue and the gusts are

going to be even higher so walker isn't somebody that you want your lineup we're downgrading all

the browns players for fantasy this week to the point where i would probably be trying to sit all of

them if you can it's just a bad situation anyway you You look at it. Speaking of bad situations, the New York Giants. Daniel Jones has been ruled out just when you thought things couldn't get any worse. Guess what? Now they got to start their backup quarterback amidst all this. And the Bill's defense is pretty banged up too, but the Giants injury report is just massive this week. So

the bills are going to be a problem for them. Tyrod, he can run around a little bit. He tends to

get, he tends to put up some good fantasy production whenever he does start. And you can normally

make a case for him, maybe being like a low end QB2 in fantasy. But with the state of the Giants

offense and with that offensive line looking like they do right now, the fact that, you know, Tyrod also seems like he's gotten hurt and dinged up the last few times that he's gotten into games. He's just impossible to trust. We weren't really going to play Daniel Jones. We're definitely not playing Tyrod. And you got guys like Saquan Barkley and Darren Waller. We have to talk about them in a minute. They also have injuries going into this week. But their projections, even if they do play, they're going to be downgraded as well. They're really the only two guys that you would think about using for fantasy in this offense. And right now, I don't know that you really want to use anybody. Sequin if he's out there will probably be a low-end RB2 and Waller's sort of a mid to low-end tight-end one but we'll talk more about them when we get to those sections. Really there's just no way around it here. Given what's happened in New York, it's bad. It's so bad. The matchup with the Bill's defense doesn't look good and it's

going to be on prime time Sunday night. We're all going to have to watch that go down. Such a

negative start to the show here. Let's get to some more positive news. Justin Herbert, he's coming

off the buy. He practiced in full after fracturing that finger in week four. He says it won't be a
