Live from the Veritex Community Bank Studios, here's Joel Blanken, Jeremy Brannon. Let's go straight out to the HR and Pete Guest line. Being joined again this week by Adam Rohnis, Fantasy Life on SiriusXM Fantasy. Adam, keep it up with the Dub Club. He's been killing it with his Dub Club. We'll get into that a little bit later. Adam, I'm curious what you think of the landscape of the Houston Texan wide receiver room. D'Amico Ryan's foolishly kept Tengdell in the game late. Got him hurt. Probably not going to play on Sunday. What do you think this means for the Texan's receiver room? Love Nico Collins this week. Now I know he did pop up on the injury report for the hamstring issue today, so we'll have to see the extent of that. But he's been crushing it. Jacksonville is decimated in the secondary. They've been getting carved up. They play a lot of man-to-man, which Nico Collins drives in. And his prop is in the mid-70s this week. He's gone over that easily. I know last week it came late in garbage time as they tried to get him that touchdown late in the end zone, which DJ Shroud came out. But this looks like a great spot for Nico Collins. And you take Tengdell out. It's great for Collins, Diggs, and even Dalton Shultz. Adam, we're looking at the injuries from week to week. What significant injuries are you keeping an eye on? And what should people be aware of there? Oh, how much time do we have? It's a long, long list. Yeah, I mean, these are Robinson popped up on the injury report today. You don't like to see that. But the Eagles, we know it's AJ Brown and Devonta Smith likely not going to play. And I don't see anyone that benefits in the wide receiver core. I think it'll be a heavy run game with Saquon Barkley. Of course, Dallas Goddard, one of the best plays at tight end this week. We're trying to see if Jordan Love will return this week. My guess is, yes. Deebo Samuel was on the practice field today. So that would not be good if you picked up Jerwan Jennings this week. But yeah, there's just so many injuries right out. The Outday Johnson, who we feel so much better about after Andy Dalton stepped in last week and made that look like an end up fall offense. I mean, the Outday Johnson's prop was in the 40 last week. It's gone up 20 plus yards, which you usually don't see. He was on the injury report today with a groin issue. So there's a lot to keep an eye on it. I'll just say this. So people are always panicking about sending a line up on a Thursday. You need to relax. We still have a couple of days. Obviously Friday is the key day for injury reports. If a guy doesn't practice on Friday, it's not good. So just worry about the players you have at tonight's game, the Cowboys and Giants. Put the guys you want in your lineup in the receiver or running back position. Never put a Thursday night player in your flex because you lose flexibility. Worry about that and you have a couple of days. You have all the way until Sunday morning to figure these things out. Also, trademark bribe with a concussion. That is a big one since the tight end position. So like I said, we can keep talking about injuries the whole time, but I know you guys are limited on time. - Adam, so we've seen the Dolphins wide receivers production plummet since Tu obviously had his concussion a few weeks ago. Tyree kill three catches and back-to-back games. Not great for Jalen Watto either. I mean, it feels dirty to say, well, we bench Jalen Watto, we bench Tyree kill until Tu comes back. But how are you handling these Dolphins wide receivers until Tu gets back? - Yeah, Jalen Watto has got to go to the bench and I have him on one team and I gave him a chance last week. It did not work out. I am putting him on the bench. His production takes even more of a hit without Tu. Now with Tyree kill, he's tricky because you drafted him early in the first round. You don't want to bench a play you took that early. What you have to do is just understand the expectations are way lower. I think it's about 11 point teeth averaging without Tu. So in a lot of situations, if you're in a competitive 12 team week, you're likely starting them. There could be a scenario where you have Rishi rice, Malik neighbors and Chris Godwood and Tyree kill. In that scenario and you need three of those four, that's more on bench and Tyree kill. I don't know how many people are in that situation, but yet Tyree killed not a much star, you know, Deafy Johnson, if he's healthy, I'm playing over him. So there he's more in the Y receiver two category where it's clear the production is not there without Tu. - Speaking of that Panther receiver room, you bring up Johnson, Adam Thelen lands on the IR. Is Xavier legit worth the look? - Absolutely in a deeper format. I think if you're like a 12 team league with E.T. Rochester spots more for sure because this offense is just clicking right now. It's one game, but still it was impressive. They went on the road in Vegas and just stomped them and looked at the match up to get this week. The Cincinnati Bengals, everyone saw it on Monday night. That defense is horrendous right now. They're a team we want to pick on. So this is another good matchup for the Panthers offense and we'll get, we'll get an opportunity. So not a must start, but if you are hurting at receiver and he is available or you already picked him up, he's certainly under consideration. All right, Adam, I gotta ask the Red Rocket rifle had a hell of a week. Is Andy Dalton a guy you should be grabbing real quick to try and make up for some of your woes at quarterback? - I don't think so. And most leagues where you start one quarterback, you likely have a better option. We might get Jordan Love back. Sam Donald, I would still start over him. We saw Caleb Williams a little bit better last week. You do have to take into account the Bears rent 40 more planes in the cult last week. So when you look at all those stats, you know, that's something I always look at, plays run. If you just look at the boxwork and see the stats that can make your expectations be miscontrued for the following week, but the cults just were not on the field at all. So I don't think he's a must pick up. Obviously if you're in a league, super flex league or one that starts to be quarterback, he's probably picked up already, but I'm not ready to put him in that top 12 conversation yet. - Adam, a difficult question. Question for a friend, let's say. Patrick Mahomes has just not been good this year. He really wasn't good the second half of last year for fantasy either. Right now we're looking at quarterback finishes on the week 10 or lower each week this season. Are you at the point with Patrick Mahomes where you have kind of gone past the idea that his production is gonna bounce back until they get another game breaking wide receiver and maybe start to look to trade Patrick Mahomes? - I have Mahomes in two leagues, one's a super flex league. I'm not ready to bench him yet. I know that's been talked about a lot this week. And yeah, last year I saw it. You could see that offense wasn't good. I am surprised by this. Even with Hollywood brown out, I thought with the way where she writes this one in, and Xavier Worthy, who they really haven't used enough yet and maybe they need to manufacture more touches for him. Travis Kelsley, obviously not the same player, is off to a really slow start. So I am stunned by this 'cause I thought Mahomes was gonna go off this year and it just has not happened yet. I'm not ready to bench him though. I know a lot of people are ready but I can't play Sam Darnold over him yet. Just like, I know how good Darnold has been, but I'm not there yet. Maybe in a couple of weeks. Now this game against the charges, the problem with this game is, charges have so many injuries. Two tackles, Justin Herbert, even if he plays. How good is he gonna be? Like they shouldn't have started him last week. So the problem with this week, I don't know if it's good gauge 'cause they might be in control of this game and they might not need Mahomes to do much, but you have to figure Kelsey will get better. I was paying away from Kelsey this year because he had five touchdowns last year in the regular season. He didn't reach a thousand yards. People forgot about that because he was so dominant in the postseason. And it feels like he might be salvaging or saving himself for the postseason, which you never wanna do, but it's a Kansas City chief. They can do that. - Yeah, it's been a blank space for Travis Kelsey this year. What about the running back room? We saw Carson still take a really a majority of those carries. Is he somebody you're willing to start? - If you're in a desperate situation and we all, if you play in multiple leagues, you probably have at least a team or two that is. I know I do. I would write him the highest this week of the Chiefs running back. Cream hunt likely gonna be active. I just don't know how much they're gonna use them. What's his football shape? So I'm keeping an eye on it, but they did give him 17 touches. He had 72 yards. He had a couple of opportunities near the goal line. So it looks like he's gonna be at least the goal line back. So of the Chiefs running back for this week, I feel best about Carson field. - How do you feel about the New Orleans offense after the explosion against Dallas? They look like they were really struggling without Taysom Hill and weren't quite as effective. How do you feel about them this week? - I feel better about them. I know last week was awful, but I think the Eagles came up with a really good game plan and the same plus two offensive lineman in that game with Eric McCoy, Alex. That hurts where we left the game as well. So those are two big losses. And I felt they stuck with the run way too long. It was not effective. Kamara had 26 carries. I know we're teaching. He was a big disappointment. He did have six targets. He had a couple of end zone targets. Just couldn't corral a couple of those passes. They weren't easy, but he takes one in. You feel better. He still had a 26% target share. So I think the Saints offense will be fine. - Adam Rhona is from SiriusXM Fantasy, Fantasy Life, joining us on the Killer Bees. Adam, we're all desperate for tight ends right now. As you mentioned earlier, Travis Kelsey's been a disaster this season. You haven't got what you wanted out of Sam Laporta, Mark Andrews' goose this last week. But a couple of surprises broke out with Cole Clement and the guy you mentioned earlier, Dallas Goddard. But it's a curious situation. I'm curious what you would do with those 'cause both guys are on teams with kind of a crowded wide receiver group where you're not sure how much target share they'll get from week to week. Are you making moves on Cole Clement and Dallas Goddard or how are you handling the tight end shortage right now? - Look, Goddard's a must play this week just because A.J. Brown and Smith are likely out. Now they have a buy in week five. So I'm guessing we'll see Brown and Smith in week six. So you might have a one week window where you feel great about playing Goddard. Cole Clement is a concern because it looks like Keenan Allen could be back this week. He was on the practice field yesterday. So if you have Keenan Allen, DJ Moore, Enrollment Dunezade. And that's why I didn't draft Cole Clement this year. And here's the other thing. Everyone is panicking about their tight ends. They're all going to the wave of wire and look how it's worked out. After week one, who was the big pick up? Isaiah liked me. What are you doing week two? Nothing. Week three, who was the big pick up? Hunter Henry, people put him in the lineup. What did he do last Thursday night? Nothing. This past week, Cole Clement, he was the big pick up. What is he gonna do this week? I don't know if it's gonna be good. So we're all hurting his tight end unless you have Brock Bowers, Jake Ferguson, maybe even adult routine Kate and George Kittle I don't even know about 'cause a D bowl is healthy and how you start to get his conditioning. Kendall's not gonna go up every week. So we are all hurting at the position at everyone searching for answers. But a lot of times when you pick up that flavor of the week off the wave of wire, that tight end doesn't do well the next week. How seriously are we taking Rocha on Johnson? So not too seriously because the bear's offensive line is a mess. I know everyone's upset with DeAndre Swift, but if you go back and look, especially on that fourth downplay, there are like three bears climbing, laying on the field and five Colts all after DeAndre Swift. And yes, he's been extremely inefficient under two York to carry. I did pick him up in two weeks. Like one of them, I'm just decimated. I love Kenneth Walker. I have Jerome Ford and Taji Spears. So in a situation like that, yeah, I'm gonna spend some money and take a chance because they've already talked about how Rocha on Johnson will get an opportunity. So I don't know if he's the answer, but if you are desperate at running back, I am picking him up. I actually might start him this week and I'm expecting to be disappointed. - Adam, before you get out of here, we talked about it earlier, but you've been hot.
