Next on Fantasy Football Today and Five.

0:15.5

All right. So welcome to fantasy football today and five. I'm Chris Towers.

0:18.8

Here to talk about Monday night football and some week seven waiver wire targets with dan schneier and we'll start with three big takeaways

0:24.6

from monday football and one before we'll just get this one out of the way it doesn't count as one

0:28.5

in three derrick henry is one of one he is the alpha and the omega he is an unbelievable player you

0:35.0

already knew that but here's just what he's on pace for this season.

0:38.4

465 carries, which would be an NFL record, he probably won't hit that one. But 2,219 rushing yards,

0:45.3

28 touchdowns, 419 receiving yards on 45 receptions. He is having at least to date one of the

0:52.8

greatest seasons in fantasy football history, arguably one of the greatest seasons in fantasy football history arguably

0:55.3

one of the greatest seasons of all time for a running back in the NFL just unbelievable and

0:59.8

if you've got him on your team man you've got one of like six good running backs in the NFL

1:04.0

currently for fantasy football so let's talk about some other stuff from that game and first

1:08.7

up I'll start with AJ Brown looked fineed fine. Nine catches for seven, nine targets and seven catches, 91 yards. Despite a slow start, only had two catches at halftime. And he was recovering from food poisoning. So he looked good. But Julio Jones exited with a hamstring injury. Ryan Tano, overall, not a good game yet again. Are you concerned about this Tennessee passing game? Do you think they can figure things out enough for Ryan Tandahill to be that top 12 QB we thought he was? No, I'm very concerned. And I was one of those with Ryan Tannahill in my top 12 preseason. And I think one of the biggest issues is we've seen it happen. The Tennessee Titans pass events is terrible. And yet they don't care. They're going to stick to the run. They have Derek Henry. And that's a big problem here because I thought that was going to boost the passing game. And so now with Julio Jones potentially injured again, I'm just not sure that we can trust that passing game. Yeah, I agree. It just, I thought Julio Jones is going to make this

2:01.3

offense even more dynamic. And it's really right back to just being Derek Henry centric. So not really super enthused about Ryan Tannehill moving forward. Unfortunately, I do have him on a handful of teams. He was a top 12 QB for me as well. Let's move over to the other side. And Stefan Diggs, you know, had probably his biggest game of the season.

2:18.2

I think people needed to see that.

2:19.8

91 yards and Stefan Diggs, you know, had probably his biggest game of the

2:17.7

season. I think people needed to see that. 91 yards and a touchdown or yeah, 89 yards on nine

2:23.1

catches and a touchdown for Stefan Diggs, but Emmanuel Sanders, 91 yards on five catches.

2:28.8

Cole Beasley, seven catches for 88 yards in a touchdown. Do the bills have three wide receivers you can trust in fantasy every week?

2:36.0

I think so. And I think this has to do with the way they run that offense. They're past, pass, past. They're not worried about running the ball. They've spoken in the past about we don't need to run more. We just need to run more efficiently. And so I think they do at this point, have three receivers you can start every week. And you were early, you were the earliest on Emmanuel Sanders.

2:50.7

I'll give you credit for that.
