[00:00:22] Good to be here. What's up with us listeners? What's up? What's going on guys? How you doing today? All right guys. So we got some fantasy matchups right now going on. We're gonna talk about a lot of stuff today. We're gonna talk about our week six fantasy matchups. Our week six starts and sits.
[:[00:01:00] Bombo has the stats. He's been keeping track, so he's the gatekeeper for this one. So we got a action packed episode for you today, and we're just gonna go ahead and get into it right now. We're gonna talk about the Bills and the chiefs. This is gonna be our fantasy matchup of the week, guys.
[:[00:01:36] Ooh, that's a heavyweight fight right here, right? This is the, this is the rematch of the, of last year's bar and burner. Man. I mean, I gotta pick one. I'm gonna go with. I'm gonna go with Josh Allen, just for the, the, the lack of a running game and him being the running game on that. But man, it's, it's real close, because I know we talked about it last week with Mahomes is really responsible for a lot of their goal line touchdowns, right?
[:[00:02:23] I think they'll be there. And that's not unheard of too, because both of 'em had four touchdowns last week. And so going into this matchup, like you said, it's a, it's definitely a heavyweight type of match, right? And we don't have heavyweight, bouts like this kind of anymore. And so it's really nice to see both of these guys going in, just having monster games, each one of 'em.
[:[00:03:02] He, everybody has those games, but I, I think, Alan is more like, more prone to them. but again, either one that you pick it. It's not impossible to, to say that it's the right choice, right? Either one is the right choice.
[:[00:03:37] You know what I mean? And, you know, who knows, maybe it is gonna be one of those shootouts, that heavyweight fight that bomb was talking about, like the divisional last year, you know? But I just, I don't know, man. I got to me, I got a funny feeling. This is gonna be a low scoring. Everybody thinks there's gonna be a shootout.
[:[00:04:09] And that's not even low scoring, but for them it is cause they're in the forties and fifties, you know? But that's true. I mean, it's, I don't know, man. I just, you know, when, when you guys are talking about your picks for the quarterback here, I, I don't even know who to pick, you know, sides on both sides, you know what I mean?
[:[00:04:45] But since you're already, up to bat right now, why don't we go ahead and start transitioning into the running backs for both teams, who do you think has the edge fantasy wise, in the, in the backfield for, for these two teams? Well, I think fantasy wise, obviously the edge is probably gonna go a hundred percent to Kansas City.
[:[00:05:25] But they just don't put an emphasis on running the ball the way they should and they're just a non running team. Kansas City. Sometimes they impress me and to me, I think their best runner this year is Jar McIn. But it's hard to roster a guy like McKinnon cuz he probably touchdown dependent, you know?
[:[00:06:00] But you know, it's tough in these leagues. And so he's guy more outside. You know, I mean you just, you look at, you know, different guys and you know, talking about these two teams. I don't know if any of these fantasy running backs really have that much upside, but I think if you're looking at who outweighs one or the other, even fantasy relevancy, I think, until to get James Cook going, which I think once he gets cooking, Get it anyway.
[:[00:06:45] He's not making four or five guys miss breaking six tackles and shit like that. It's the, the line's just smashing every. So, you know, you know what's kind of funny? I think fantasy wise, Kansas City, but you know, I don't think they're gonna make that much a difference in the game. You, you know what, what's, noticeable too, right?
[:[00:07:21] He was nonexistent. He had one touch for zero yards, and then it looked like he was in the doghouse or something. They just didn't play him the rest of the time, and he's not on any injury. Well, what do I tell you about rookies all the time? Why do they stay off the field? It has nothing to do with their running ability.
[:[00:07:52] Pretty good at the running back position once they dumped the, you know, these bad contracts and some of these guys that really couldn't find their footing on these offenses. So, I'm not saying not bad contracts, babo, they just, they keep these guys around cuz they, I mean, they haven't, like I know Devon Single, Terry, Zach Moss, they're still on their rookies and they haven't got reupped.
[:[00:08:40] Absolutely. Absolutely. And and the reality is, is Andy Reed knows he is got a. And I think Buffalo does too, but Buffalo really hasn't, I don't know, they haven't shown the kid enough. And he got a little bit in the doghouse in in the preseason. He missed a couple blocks, got the quarterback eat up a couple times, but.
[:[00:09:21] So, Travis Kelsey, stop it if you haven't even pulled the trigger on that one. Right. Fucking four touchdowns last week, but he had four touchdowns in 30 yard. Something like that. Dude. Yeah, it was stupid. Stupid dude. I just, she's addicted to touchdowns. That was the alert I got from one of my things. Travis Kelsey.
[:[00:09:44] All right guys, so let's talk about this receiving core for both sides. Right on, one end. It's kind of a motley crew, kind of like us where we're just kind of a ragtag group. And on the other end, you guys, you got some, some more refined really, solid guys that are, are well established in the league within the Buffalo Bills and their course.
[:[00:10:24] Never was really close to getting in the end zone. I'm not really seeing the receivers get involved too much, in Casey's offense. As far as catching touchdowns, I know we're used to seeing Tyreek Hill. Take something, you know, slant 90 yards for a touchdown. I, I'm not saying they don't have the guys that can do that.
[:[00:10:57] And that as that third receiver, also gets on the, on the board. So, yeah, I think it could be a shootout either way. Just when it comes down to fantasy purposes, more buffalo receivers, catch touchdowns and more, you know, valuable touches. I agree. I think that, you know, Buffalo definitely has a star power, but I, I just keep looking at, at what Mahome said, like after week one or week two, and he just basically said, I we're re reiterating the fact that we're, the position of receiver is gonna be receiver by committee this year.
[:[00:11:51] So the other part is, and I don't know if you guys realize this, but the last couple seasons, they've taken away the deep look from him because of Tyree kill, and they, they'd always had the two deep coverage. They're not doing that anymore cuz there's no Tyre kill. He's gonna start popping some big ones.
[:[00:12:26] That's why Aaron Rogers wouldn't throw to him. You know what I mean? We'd drop one, you wouldn't see the ball again for three games, you know? So Mahomes isn't that way, but I think there's so many guys and even backup tight ends and everything else they're throwing at everybody here. It's just hard to key on anybody.
[:[00:13:04] Okay? So he won't get his yardage. He'll just get another four touchdowns. , I mean, 30 yards. Okay? Everybody else will get the yardage. Add up three guys. It equals two guys, and Kelsey will get four touchdowns. It's just whatever they have to do to win. And I think it's, you know, like, like Bombo said, it's the, the head of the snake is what's fucking making everything work.
[:[00:13:49] I doubt that there's, I mean, how many guys can repeat that type of outing two weeks in a row? It's just, it's not possible. So from a fantasy standpoint, I gotta say, yeah, Casey probably has the better matchup only because of the fact that you gotta spread the ball and who are you gonna guard? And guys are just gonna get those, those you.
[:[00:14:33] I think Steon Dig should have a pretty good game. You know what I mean? But like you said, I mean, it's lightning in a bottle with Gabe Davis. I wouldn't put it past him. He could do that shit again. But you know, the chance of him doing it probably won't be that easy. But I mean, watch too. I mean still Josh Allen, even when, Gabe Davis was hurt, I don't know who the fuck else he's throwing to, but that Bull's throwing for 400 yards and digs is getting 150 of them.
[:[00:15:24] No Micah Hyde, no, player for the past two games. The, that too high safety. Look, if there's any holes in that or any flaws when they put those inexperienced guys back there, watch out for Sky more, they try to get 'em open on that. This. This past week against the Raiders on a couple of those and a couple of bubble screens.
[:[00:15:53] Excellent, excellent takes guys. well I guess that's gonna be pretty much wrap up our fantasy matchup of week six. There's gonna be a lot of craziness. I really hope it's gonna be a shootout. I really hope it's gonna be a hell of a game. But it could also be, kinda like what King said, it could be a tight one, even though it's gonna be 28, you know, 21 type of game that's tight for these two teams.
