What is up, it's the rant, my name is Jeff Rackle, but it is Friday, October 29th.

We gate in full swing, and we're going to dive into all of the matchups remaining.

On this week's slate here, a lot of interesting matchups, a lot of moving pieces on the injury

front, which I'll get into for each of these games, but here we go.

Let's dive right into it.

We will kick things off with Carolina and at Lanza on the Carolina side.

I mean, Sam Darnell, after a reasonable, the good start, and it was a fantasy good start.

Let's put this into perspective.

He had four freaking rushing touchdowns in two games, but he was a top 10 fantasy quarterback

over the first four weeks of the season.

Over the last three weeks of the season, he has been outscored by 28 quarterbacks, including

Justin Fields and Davis Mills, who, by the way, will be starting this week.

That is ugly.

I mean, the matchup looks good for Darnell, but I just don't trust him.

Really, I'm only trusting DJ Moore and Shuba Hubbard as an RB, too.

I know it wasn't great last week, but he's going to touch the ball a ton and is in a good

spot here against this Atlanta defense, not terrible by any means.

On the other side, Matt Ryan, kind of the opposite of Darnell looked really bad over

the first month of the season has trended up over his last two starts here, 21 fantasy

points per game.

That's solid average depth.

The target is increasing 8.3 yards down field now, and he's past heavy, man, 40.7 passing
