What happened in the Chiefs overtime win over the Colts and why does it matter for fantasy players?
This is fantasy football today from CBS Sports. It's time to dominate your fantasy league. Off to the races, and he stays on his feet. Let's just get it. Now here's some combination of Adam, Dave, Jamie, and Heath.
What is wrong with the Chargers and Bears offense? Is Colson Lovelin a bust? Is Devon A Chan a Wait is are we just replaying last week's episode? Yeah, not much has changed, huh? Uh and the Chiefs won a primetime game, 33-30. We'll recap the Chiefs Colts game, which was a super exciting game. We've got I I think, you know, it was a pretty bad Sunday for injuries, but hopefully the Monday won't be as bad. Caleb Williams doesn't seem like a bad injury. It's not as we don't know. Well, that's what they said.
How do the injury updates for Jayden Daniels and Caleb Williams affect Week 3 roster decisions?
This is like a half hour ago. It's he's he escaped a major injury. Uh-huh. Uh Jaden Daniels doesn't seem like it's season ending. We'll see how long he's out. A lot of running back injuries. We don't have updates there. But today, okay, recap Sunday night football. Yes, we'll talk about the Bears. Yes, we'll talk about the Chargers. Yes, we'll talk about HN. Also George Pickens. What's going on with George Pickens? His target per out run rate actually higher than it was last year, so that is good. Uh the Patriots.
Why are snap‑share trends for Travis Etienne, Jeremiah Love and Jadarian Price important for RB valuation?
offense and uh the rookies what are we doing about some of these rookies casey conception denzel boston carnell tate jeremiah love jonah coleman you heard dan now here's jacob what's up jacob Hey,
hey, Chiefs two and oh, Giants supply two and oh as well. Soon. Wow. That's right. And I just
wanted to imagine. Yeah, w when's the next time the Chiefs are prime time? They just don't get enough prime time. Let's see, what's it gonna be? Uh week seven.
We have three straight weeks of Falcons prime time somehow. Who the heck scheduled that out? Really? Yeah. We're stuck with three straight weeks of Falcons prime time.
Which struggling fantasy stars (George Pickens, De’Von Achane, Colson Loveland) should I watch closely this week?
It's crazy.
All right, let's talk about last night's prime time game. Kansas City thirty three, Indianapolis thirty. Uh I've got a couple I got some easy questions and some hard questions for this game. Who is the best just for these two teams? Best quarterback rest of season.
Patrick Mahomes.
Okay, that was easy. Best running back rest of season.
Kenneth Walker. It's definitely Kenneth Walker.
Definitely Kenneth Walker. Jonathan Taylor's a averaging like twenty eight points per game or something.
Uh I mean th he has been that offense has been better, especially first, you know, early game script, but you gotta take Walker right now. If Walker stays healthy, he's like essentially in the mix for R B
one overall.
What are the offensive woes of the New England Patriots and why could they hurt fantasy output?
He's like Jonathan Taylor
if he played for a better team and
he was team in targets. And
got the targets, yeah.
He has three more points uh than Jonathan Taylor. Taylor's Taylor actually has uh eight targets. Kenneth Walker does have sixteen though. All right, who's the best wide receiver on this team rest of the season? Josh Jones. On all teams? On both both teams, both teams.
I'm gonna go with Rasheed Rice. I was a little bit more enthused than Jacob was with Rice last night. A little bit. Took one Josh Downs game for me to become completely emboldened again. He's the best. Well, Pierce is also injured.
How is the Los Angeles Chargers’ offense performing and what does it mean for their skill players?
That's the other thing.
Yeah, Pierce injured and and Josh Downs. If you've heard us say on the show, we watch the Josh Downs tape. This guy gets open all the time. He destroys defensive backs. I think you saw it like if you haven't actually seen it, saw it last night. It's what he does
for a living. I felt so bad for Legarius Need. He's just not ready for that
kind of juice at the end.
It was just too far behind him.
I just don't think he's gonna score that much, and I don't think he's gonna make a lot of big plays. And also Alec Pierce, like that was a big deal. Alec Pierce going out. Um Yeah, so huge target vo hu well, big good target volume for Josh Downs, nine targets on thirty-one pass attempts.
Which rookies are worth cutting, stashing, or trading as we head into Week 3?
That's a terrific target share. Uh but also this team basically never passes near the end zone. They just hand it to Jonathan Taylor all the time. They've run six plays from the five yard line or closer, and five of them have been runs.
