Welcome to Fantasy Vocus Football. It is Monday, September 21st. Our week two wrap up show is upon us. We have not our normal crew today. It's the great the venerable Liz Loza is sitting in for Daniel Dop. It's Daniel's wife's birthday. So happy birthday to Rosie Dop and big thanks to Liz for hanging out with us today.
Happy to be here. I've been here since Saturday. You're
part of the Minoid Oil Rand, too.
I I've been up for a little bit and what a day of football did we have. Wow. It was
why you why are you smiling when you say that? And I wasn't smiling at all yesterday. I wasn't
smiling, but I did get to experience the war room, which I have yet to do this season. And that is always an enlivening experience.
We had this very high scoring week one and relatively clean injury slate, and then week two was like, yeah, not so fast. My friends, as we are going to do every single Monday, we will begin our game by game recap. One of us will take the lead on a game, the others will fill in any potential missing pieces. And of course, we start with Liz Loza. And we're gonna start with an injury of note in DC.
Yes. Now there's a buzzer on this, so I have to be rather concise.
Next game.
All right, so the Commanders Cowboys matchup. Commanders fell twenty to thirty seven at Dallas. Biggest news obviously is that Jaden Daniels was carted off the field with an e elbow injury in the last play of the first half. This is the Second elbow injury for him on that same elbow. Um, this stunk, man. Like the energy completely deflated from the war room, from the field. Um, he had sadly also rushed for 69 yards up until that point was looking a little vintage. We had seen shades of that in week one. There seemed to be some momentum going on. He had also connected with Stefan Diggs on a four-yard touchdown. Before exiting, let's talk about Diggs for a second. Oh, Adam Schefter also telling us that today's x-ray on the elbow showed no fractures.
So that's good news. I will have to monitor that situation moving forward, but obviously it doesn't feel great. Neither did his O-lines reaction. I'll leave other people to debate that. Mm-hmm. Yep. Um Stephon Diggs, though, bit of a homecoming as we discussed at the top of the season. He accounted for both of the team's touchdowns actually. actually one via the aforementioned Daniels and the other in the second half after Marcus Mariota took over for him. Proving to be quite uh an excellent acquisition for the team. Six tower his six targets, however, uh were tied for the second on the team with Rashad White. It was Terry McLaurin who actually led the team in looks. He managed to draw nine, but was not particularly efficient with his opportunities, only converted two of those for 50 yards.
This is my favorite player in the league, I've decided. I love Terry McLaurin. Favorite player in the league. Very Very apprehensive about his fantasy prospects moving forward though.
Yeah, it's not great. Not great. Should we move
to the cowboy second? I know after getting paid at the end of uh at the beginning of last season too.
Uh the only thing I'll say before we move on from the commanders is that not so fast on giving this job to Jakori Krosky Merritt in the backfield. Decided snap head for Rashad White, Rashad White, fifty three point seven to thirty-four point three for Mer Krosky Merritt. And more importantly, six targets, six catches for Rashad White, just one target, which is not an atypical number for Jakori Krosky Merritt, but Uh wasn't efficient enough as a runner, not gonna see enough volume in the passing game. More than anything, this feels like a stay away backfield.
Yeah.
What were the key injuries in Week 2 and how should they affect fantasy lineups?
I agree. He had six catches, did Rashad White. JCM ran seven routes. Not great. Not gonna cut a big change from week one. So I know you and I
were both big on Bill coming into this week, especially with the matchup. Um can we talk about the Cowboys now? Okay. Whack Um So, no question in this contest, who is the Cowboys wide receiver one? It was something we debated heading into the season.
