What ankle injury? Do you remember how for weeks we were like, oh, well, he's going to slide in drafts and it could be a good value and Mike Washington and blah, blah, blah. Nope. I'm Liz Loza. This is Facts vs. Feelings. And today's fact is that new doesn't always mean better. Oh, Daniel Dopp is jumping up and down. It's week two. It's week two. One down. One down. How did we do? How did you do in your leagues?
I did okay. 50-50,
let's say. I
split a little bit there. I mean, I was good enough. You know what I mean? But the idea that football is here is what has me most excited. I am super pumped. We get to
talk about real NFL football. That's usually what people say when they don't do very well, let's be honest. Because I do think in one... league um you and i played against each other and i was you know what i knew you were gonna
bring this up of course the one league that we played each other i didn't even lose by that much but you did in fact beat me the queen takes her rightful seat on the throne and with that we're going to give your fantasy advice to your listeners because obviously you know what you're doing here liz loza let's start with ashton genti a running back smash last week you like him
this
week
I do. I mean, what ankle injury? Do you remember how for weeks we were like, oh, well, he's going to slide in drafts and it could be a good value and Mike Washington and blah,
blah,
blah. Nope. Mike Washington. Clint Kubiak funneled the entire offense, granted with Brock Bauer's sideline, through his star running back, who managed 147 scrimmage yards. The entirety of the rest of the Raiders' offense had 143 scrimmage yards. So more than 50% of the Raiders' total offense was produced via Ashton Genting and not just his legs, though it is worth noting that that he managed three runs of 10 or more yards, which was the fifth most of the week. He also, and this is the part that I really love, two grabs of 10 plus yards, both of which went for touchdowns.
Yeah, six total receptions. And we love being able to see this kind of receiving game work. This is something that the veteran quarterback, Kirk Cousins, knows how to do. We didn't see it as much last year because Geno Smith under duress nonstop. Right. But one of the things I want to make sure that I'm on the same page as you on, Liz, I loved the six receptions that we saw. I'm not sure we're going to see quite that heavy of a receiving game volume because Brock Bowers didn't play in this one. Do you think that we'll still see enough receiving game volume to get the things that you're hoping for with Ashton Gentry? Or do you believe that what you saw without Brock Bowers is potentially what we might get all year long?
I do think Brock Bauer's absence definitely increased Jente's involvement in the passing game. We also have to note that he managed these numbers against the Dolphins' defense, right? Like, this is a defense that's probably ranked, what, 31st in the league?
How did Liz and Daniel evaluate Ashton Gentry’s week‑1 performance?
Is in transition this week. Jenty gets the Chargers. So a much stiffer matchup. If Bowers does make an appearance, we still don't know if that's going to happen when we're recording, then Jenty's receptions and targets should obviously recede. So no, I don't think he's going to clear 30 fantasy points in week two, but I do think he's a solid, I don't know, where do you have him ranked, like top six option at the position?
Yes. Easy top eight, I think. I might have him at seven. Actually, I might have him a little higher than that just because of the fact that he did so well last year. And again, if we don't believe that Brock Bowers, even if he plays, probably will have a little bit of a getting back into game form. And so I think they might rely on Ashton Gentry a little bit more in this one. I love him this week, Liz. And you know who else I love other than you? Jeremiah Love. Jeremiah Love is in a great spot. The brand new toy in Arizona. Problem is in week one, they had an old toy there in Tyler, Algier, and they feel like they played with him just as much as they did with the new toy.
