Here's Joel Blanken, Jeremy Branham. Let's go straight out to the HRFP guest line being joined by Adam Rohnus. You can catch a fantasy life on the Siri on Sirius X Sam also runs the Dub Club, which he's been killing on the Dub Club more on that later. Adam real quick before fantasy. Do you think that the news with Louise Severino going to Sacramento changes those Oakland A futures at all? "Good for him, you know, I'm a big Mets fan and Severino played a big part this year but I can never complain when players get paid clearly the ease over paid on but good for him and he'll have fun in a minor league stadium this year." It's that Sacramento money. All right, Isaac Garindo. Are we are we all in on Garindo this week, getting the nod for San Francisco? Yeah, I think we have to be. I understand that this San Francisco offense is just not the same right now, especially with Trent Williams out. That's a massive loss. But we did see before cursor, McCaffrey went down, he was having success in the running game. You know, Jordan Mason has had success this year. So yeah, absolutely, you know, Garindo to me is someone that you want to get in there this week. And it's really the highest bid in waivers this week, you know, everyone is spending their last dollars on him and it makes sense. He's got some explosive ability. We've seen him make some big plays and, you know, the Niners are not out of it yet. It feels like they're on the verge of it, but in that division, they're still just two games out. So yeah, I think if you have Garindo unless you're really deep at running back, especially with 16s on by your starting in this week. Adam, how do you look at that situation with Atlanta right now with Kurt Cousins? We were talking about the other day. Is it time for Pennics? Are they going to continue to go with Cousins? He's been awful. And then how that kind of has the steam roller effect of how it affects so many weapons that are on that squad. Yeah, look, he's been awful. It was so bad watching that last week and he has no touchdown passes in the last three game. So to me, you cannot even use him in super flexly because I think you have to find a different option. I'm still going to start Drake London. The touchdowns haven't been there, but especially if you're in a PPR format. He's still producing. It's just not the lack of touchdown turns. I mean, last week he had 17.6 in a PPR and he's done that two of the last three games. So even with Cousins struggling, he's still producing. Obviously, be John Robinson is still getting it done. Really it's crushing Kyle Pence. I mean, Kyle Pence is someone that is just disappointed fans, the owners once again. So that's someone that you can definitely bench and then throw in on movies a little bit lower because he was someone that was connecting with Cousins. But you know, you would think all the quarterbacks terrible. It's going to affect the entire offense, but there's still pieces that you can start here. It's just the turnover last week when a problem, you know, they moved the football. It's just four interceptions and even some of the completions could have been picked off. It was pretty bad that performance. And now he goes against Minnesota, a team that knows him very well. Adam Maronas joining us here on the killer beast. Adam, I'm curious your thoughts on being able to play James Winston going for these. I'm kind of like holding a stick of dynamite. Either he's going to blow off your hand or you can use it to blow something else up. I mean, he's been ping ponging all over the place. QB 10, then 21, 6th and 18th and QB1 this last week when he threw for almost 500 yards. Are you comfortable playing James going for it or your thoughts overall on the rest of the Browns offense under James and especially Jerry Judy? Yeah, I don't think you really need to start Winston in most weeks. So especially with one quarterback, you should have a better option even this week. There might be some better streamers, but it's fun watching. Look, we know what Winston is. I had him in fantasy the year he had the 30/30 with the 30 touchdowns, 30 picks. So it's always a roll across the road and last Monday with the epitome of it, right? You saw the good James leading down the field and then of course, the two pick sixes. It could have had a third. So it's fun to watch, but it's great for fantasy and the other boys. I mean, Jerry Judy has turned into an elite player because of Winston. We never saw this with Deshawn Watson there. So it's helped Judy. It's helped Elijah more. It's helped David Nijoku. And I do think if Cedric Kilby can come back, people forgetting about him. He had a stretch where he was really good. So it's absolutely helping all the receivers. It's really not helping a running game because Nick Chub does not look good. So I would avoid Nick Chub at all if possible. You know, he had that two touchdown game, but it was flu. I mean, if you watch him, he's not the same and it's understandable. He's coming off the serious injury, multiple injuries to his knee. Second time, 28, I don't know why people were drafting him and stashing him. You know, I said that before the year and I think that's something you see. A lot of these players that people stashed, Jonathan Brooks, TJ Hopkins and Nick Chub, it has not worked out. You waste half a year holding these guys and you think that automatically, oh yeah, they're going to be fine. It doesn't always work like that. And people are finding that out with Nick Chub. You mentioned the better streaming options at quarterback asking for a friend, you know, playing for your fantasy life. All your running backs are on a buy. You desperately need one that, you know, there aren't very many good options available. Who is the best of the worst if you're playing for your fantasy football life this weekend and all your running backs are on buys? Yeah, I mean, running back is only the toughest position because this year, we just have not seen a lot of injuries at the position. So it hasn't opened up many opportunities. Gorendo is one of the few that we've seen recently. So I think you could look at the back field for Vegas. Now, a lot of it is going to be what happens with these injuries. But since he and McCormick have looked pretty good and he's given them double digit carries the last week, but we don't know the status of Alexander Madison, a mere of dual. But I think he's an option. I even think Zach Charbonne is not that bad. He's been getting some go on carries, Kenneth Walker's been hurt. You could look at the Jacksonville back field this week because they have a decent match of against Tennessee, he's had a lot of injuries. But yeah, once you get into that area, you're looking at backups. I mean, maybe bring on Allen with free fold, not practicing again today, and brief hold clearly is not 100%. He doing good last week. So maybe you have him on the roster. And if you're really, really digging deep again, this is game script dependent. But if you believe Philadelphia is going to put a hurt on Carolina, they are 12 and they have point favorites. Maybe you get a fourth quarter where Kenneth and he won't go wild. Adam looking for quarterbacks that might have some big weeks this weekend. Looking at Baker Mayfield, he's got the Raiders looking at two. They need a win. He's got the jets. Are those pretty favorable in your mind? Oh, yeah, they're easily top 10. I mean, Baker Mayfield has been a great fall season. And then he gets Mike Evans back now. I haven't did in practice today, but I'm assuming he's going to play. He's making that push for 1000 yards once again. And Evans is a veteran. So even if he doesn't practice and they see he's going to play, I trust him. And two, we've got a good match against the Jets. You know, the Jets defense has fallen apart. Sauce Gardner could be out. And, you know, two last week against Green Bay in the cold. You know, it didn't look good, but in the end, the numbers were there. So he's in a good spot. And then, you know, if you have to go outside that, I think Will Levis is in a good spot this week against Jacksonville. They're 32nd and past defense DBOA. They're one of the worst teams. The Levis has been better. There's no mistake. He's still taking sacks, but he's in a good spot this year. I think, you know, he's a solid streamer if you're looking out for a quarterback because we're taking them by and, you know, some of those quarterback or Jackson, Jayden Daniels, you might not have had it backed up. So we'll have a solid option this week. Adam, I don't know if you know the can of worms you just opened on this show by openly talking about Will Levis with the number one Will Levis supporter sitting across, sitting across from me. But I'm curious your thoughts on a couple of running back situations that fill a little up in the air first with Kansas City, both in the AFC West. But Kansas City, obviously, Isaiah Pacheco came back. But this last week against the Raiders, he and Hunt both had seven carries a piece. No one really stood out there. And the Chargers now down JK Dobbins, usually a run heavy team only at 17 carries with Gus Edwards leading the way with just six. Really nothing useful from those guys this last week. But how do you see those running back positions overall? And where do you see some possible goodness for fantasy players to use going down the stretch? Yeah, I prefer to check over Kareem Hunt, the obviously he's in back in. He had one long run. Kareem Hunt is volume dependent. You'd be seen it all year. Like people act like he's in this great back. He hasn't. It's just as many weeks as he's getting 20 plus touches that any running back, especially in that type of offense, whether he's going to get going on a carry, he's going to produce. But we've seen the arts and carry are not good. So if his usage is going to get cut in half, you really can't start because he has to score a touchdown. So I think they're going to get Pacheco more involved. So he's not a great start. But if I'm picking up the two and go in Pacheco, I just really don't like the charges back there right now. Now last week, they only ran 46 play. So that's why you didn't see it a lot. They actually Edward and Comani by Dell both had solid yards for Kareem. Edward's not involved in the past game. He's got to score a touchdown. If he doesn't, you're getting four, five, six points. There's no explosive ability there. He's the one game this year. He had about 17, 18 carries against Carolina. He had like 59 yards. That's the worst one defense and he couldn't get it done. I think Comani by Dell, I wouldn't start him this week. You have to be desperate, but I would have him on my bench to see if they give him an opportunity. And they go, you know what? He's more explosive than Gus Edwards now. Let's get him in there. The past protection is the issue for him. But we did see a nice wheel route for him. Several weeks ago, we scored on a 30 plus yard touchdown. So I would keep him on my bench and see if the usage increases this week. And then maybe you might be able to use them in the next week or two. Adam, I've seen you've been killing it in the NBA recently with your dub club. I'm sure you're doing well in the NFL as well. What you got going on? Yeah, it's been a great start between NFL and NBA. 123 and 86 was six and one in the NFL last week. Been pretty hot in the NBA this week. So yeah, it's been a great start. And that's, you know, a good enough sample size there. So you just hope to keep it going because, you know, there's always going to be down. You know, I remember that was one night. I think I had a win last night for bounce back the next night to go three on one. And that's the key. You know, I always tell people it's a long-term game. You know, you can't judge someone on a week a month. It's all about long-term profit. You know, I don't give out these crazy plus 3,000 parlays that people post on social media. We all know they've lost like 20 to get to that point. And to me, the average better can't spend that. So I just do straight bets and it's a long-term game. But I'm just trying to help you guys get some profit and some extra money to spend a month. That's like playing the market. It's investments. And yeah, over 200 games already are bets in the NBA and tons in the NFL. Yeah, the sample was large enough. Check them out at Adam Rohnus and get in on that dub club. Adam, appreciate the time. Good luck this weekend. Thanks. Thank you, guys. Adam Rohnus, fantasy life on Sirius Exume and the dub club where he is well above 500 profiting nearly each and every night.
