00:00:10.519 --> 00:00:13.460
Whoa, what's going on? Welcome to the hustlers out there.
2
00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:17.839
It's your boy T-Will. Hustler Sports Fantasy Podcast Football Edition.
3
00:00:17.859 --> 00:00:19.519
You already know how we getting down. Look, we here
4
00:00:19.570 --> 00:00:22.410
to get dubs. We here to try to get a dub, bro. Look,
5
00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:26.170
the week, the season is flying upon us, bro. We
6
00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:30.410
just left week four already. It's happening real quick. It's
7
00:00:30.449 --> 00:00:33.969
time to buckle down and get serious. Don't play with it.
8
00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:36.740
Don't get it twisted. Look, you already know numbers over narrative.
9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.210
Like I said, week four was a fun one. We
10
00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:41.890
got to get ready for week five starting now. Final
11
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:45.840
prep before week five. Look, before we get into everything,
12
00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:48.979
I want to give y'all a top performance, injury recap,
13
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:53.020
hustler's pickup. That's the waiver-wide scoop. Risk of the benching,
14
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.579
that's the start-sit segment. Hustler's energy lock pick of the week.
15
00:00:56.939 --> 00:00:58.920
And then we're going to get up out of here
16
00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:02.780
with a fantasy community debate. So we ain't got a
17
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.829
lot of time that's going to get into it. Top
18
00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:08.549
performance of the week. Week four was crazy. We saw
19
00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.310
some guys we've seen over the course of the last
20
00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:12.010
few years.
21
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:13.590
We already know how they get down.
22
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:18.629
First up is Kyron Williams running back from the Rams, 36.7
23
00:01:18.629 --> 00:01:23.969
fantasy points, 16 carries, 80 yards, two teddies, 10 catches,
24
00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:24.650
67 yards.
25
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:25.370
It's funny.
26
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:28.069
Guy played in my main league. I had the pleasure
27
00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:31.969
of playing him. He started Kyron Williams against me, went crazy.
28
00:01:32.469 --> 00:01:35.319
Then this next guy he had started him against me,
29
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.599
went crazy. That's Ted Arroyo McMillan, wide receiver from the Panthers,
30
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.040
Carolina Panthers. 45.2 fantasy points, 14 catches, 192 yards, two teddies.
31
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:47.439
Went crazy.
32
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.260
And he did, yeah, that game, man. Ted really liked that.
33
00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:57.290
Ted really liked that. QB, I got Drake Mayhill down here,
34
00:01:57.590 --> 00:01:59.870
but it actually was Kirk Cousins from the Raiders.
35
00:02:00.189 --> 00:02:06.640
Had 365 yards, 26.25 yards. fantasy points.
36
00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:08.500
So it was a light week for the QBs this
37
00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:11.699
week when it came to fantasy points. They didn't blow
38
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.319
us away with their top scores, but that was the
39
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.620
top score, Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. I
40
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:19.460
don't know if I said Los Angeles. That's crazy if
41
00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.620
I did because they ain't been there in a minute. Look,
42
00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.780
tight end, I had this guy over the last couple years, man.
43
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.560
I really like what he do. Real simple, real straight,
44
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.960
real bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy.
45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.699
Tight end, that's TJ Hockerson from the Minnesota Vikings. Had 24.9
46
00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:38.979
fantasy points. 13 catches, 119 yards, didn't even score.
47
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.659
Didn't even score and had a crazy day. Top scoring
48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.039
tight end.
49
00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:45.199
That's the second time that happened this season that the
50
00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:53.990
top scoring tight end didn't score a touchdown. The Giants
51
00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:57.729
D was the top scoring defense, which is also crazy
52
00:02:57.990 --> 00:03:01.129
because they gave up 24 points. So for them to
53
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:03.969
be the top scoring defense while giving up them amount
54
00:03:03.990 --> 00:03:08.199
of points, that is insane. They scored 16 points, got
55
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.000
three picks, two sacks, and they scored a touchdown in
56
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.610
the last second of the game or after the buzzer
57
00:03:14.629 --> 00:03:18.550
went off. They scored a touchdown to seal the deal.
58
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.750
So it's crazy to me that they scored. They were
59
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:25.680
the top scoring defense, and they gave up 24 points.
60
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.340
That's insane.
61
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.919
So let's show you how much turnovers are important. Those
62
00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:31.689
are your studs. Those are your top dogs. If you
63
00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:33.370
had a chance to play them or you got them
64
00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:35.810
on your roster, shout out to y'all, man. That's good
65
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:37.150
management work, and that's.
66
00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:39.469
Why we're here. Y'all already know there's only one reason
67
00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:44.770
why we are here, and that is to get a dub.
68
00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:48.210
That is it. We are only here to get a dub.
69
00:03:48.289 --> 00:03:50.870
Mark it down. Y'all was your top dogs.
70
00:03:50.889 --> 00:03:55.270
Before we keep it moving, man, as always, prayers up
71
00:03:55.629 --> 00:03:58.620
for these players. Injuries are a part of the game.
72
00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:00.729
We hate to see them. but they are part of
73
00:04:00.770 --> 00:04:03.050
the game. So I definitely want to make sure we
74
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:06.469
keep the human aspect that these guys are humans.
75
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.099
Players, man, look, I get it. You bet.
76
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.300
You know, you do your thing. You want these players
77
00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:15.879
to perform. But injuries are part of the game. Prayers up.
78
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.899
Get close to 100% as possible, man. Look, first is
79
00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:22.360
Marcus Mariota, and that sucked for the commanders, though, because
80
00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.079
they already downed Jayden Daniels. He had a right knee
81
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.000
MCL sprain. I got this guy who started. Thankfully, I
82
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.949
didn't start him. Didn't make much of a difference. Lamar Jackson, man,
83
00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:35.310
left high ankle sprain. And as y'all know, them high
84
00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:38.730
ankle sprains tricky. You can miss, hell, you can miss
85
00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:41.670
one week to seven weeks. I had Eckler one year,
86
00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:44.149
he had the high ankle sprain. I believe he missed
87
00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:47.050
like eight, nine weeks. And that was the last year
88
00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:51.149
that he was projected to be elite. So that's tough. Anyway,
89
00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:54.819
that's living in the past. It's 2026. Dak Prescott had
90
00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:00.129
a right hand laceration. Saquon Barkley, right hamstring injury. Jeremiah Love,
91
00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:05.009
possible leg injury. Ramondre Stevenson, right knee injury. Kyle Menunga,
92
00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:11.120
thumb injury. Chris Brooks, ankle injury. Jamar Chase, concussion. I
93
00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:12.420
saw that play. It was crazy.
94
00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.500
It was a little nasty. So hopefully he's straight.
95
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.339
Hopefully he's shaked back. T. Higgins, left groin, adductor strain.
96
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.600
That's going to suck for the Bengals if they miss time, too.
97
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.709
Rasheed Rice, left hamstring strain. Ladd McConkey. Right foot re-injury,
98
00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:32.430
DJ Moore, possible shoulder re-injury. He did lead that game.
99
00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:36.050
Mack Hollins left calf strain. So some opportunity there for
100
00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:39.329
them New England Patriots out there. Tyquan Thorne, I saw
101
00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:44.220
this one. This was definitely nasty. Left ankle dislocation. Pat Bryant,
102
00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:51.579
right ankle fracture. Jalen Lane, left ankle fracture, dislocation. Jalen Naylor, concussion.
103
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.220
So before we wrap that up, again, prayers up to
104
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.930
those players. I want them to get to closest 100%
105
00:05:58.930 --> 00:06:02.240
as they possibly can, you know, from the sport of football.
106
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:05.220
So with that being said, we're going to keep it moving, man.
107
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.360
Look, Hustlers Energy, or not the Hustlers Energy, Hustlers Pickup
108
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.079
Waverwide Gems. And as I just named them two Bengals players,
109
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.040
I see there's some opportunity on their lineup too. So
110
00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:18.180
I'm going to do a midweek Hustler episode, see if
111
00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:20.290
they got something working out there just in case they
112
00:06:20.310 --> 00:06:26.540
miss some time chasing Higgins. But for now, Let's keep
113
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.660
it pushing, man. Hustlers pick up. First up, I got
114
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.180
Romeo Dobbs. I just spoke about Mack Hollins. They already
115
00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:34.980
down A.J.
116
00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:39.209
Brown. And Romeo Dobbs had a great week four, too.
117
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:42.750
So if you had him, I see 58% roster. So
118
00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:45.589
if you had him, man, that's great management work. That's
119
00:06:45.610 --> 00:06:47.649
what we're here for. That's what we're here for, to
120
00:06:47.670 --> 00:06:50.930
get that management work out here. Look, five target average
121
00:06:50.949 --> 00:06:54.250
for the season, 11.1 fantasy point average for the season.
122
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.220
I expect that to go up at least while Hollins
123
00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.060
and A.J.
124
00:06:58.100 --> 00:06:58.860
Brown are down.
125
00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:02.160
He was the number one receiver on Sunday, played 64%
126
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.720
of the snaps, led the team, also had two touchdowns
127
00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:10.800
in week four. Romeo Dobbs is the play to go
128
00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:12.920
get if you need wide receiver help.
129
00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:14.250
Lock that in.
130
00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:17.610
Next up, man, I spoke about this guy as a
131
00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:21.810
top performer. Yeah, and it's crazy. He's 54% roster, and
132
00:07:21.870 --> 00:07:24.379
I thought, Based on what he did last year, this
133
00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:26.899
seemed kind of high. So the fact that he rostered
134
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.800
like this, people seeing it. They not sleep on him. Look,
135
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.379
six and a half targets average per game this season.
136
00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:39.279
83% of the snaps on Sunday. Look, 11.9 fantasy points.
137
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.860
It's a tight end. You give me 12 points, you
138
00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:42.379
my guy.
139
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.399
And Jettas missed week four, but that don't matter because
140
00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:51.050
Hockerson got four more targets in the games that Jettas
141
00:07:51.069 --> 00:07:56.769
did play. So, like, the QB room in Minnesota has
142
00:07:56.970 --> 00:08:00.860
proven that Hockerson is not affected by Jetta's plan or
143
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.139
the QB's anymore. You can go grab him. You can
144
00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:09.079
trust him. You can throw him in the lineup. Kirk Cousins,
145
00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:12.480
old man river, man. Hey, it's good to see he
146
00:08:12.579 --> 00:08:16.000
over here because when he was with the Falcons, I
147
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.139
ain't going to lie to you. I thought bro was cooked.
148
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.230
I thought he was done. He looked washed. But he
149
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:24.779
clearly probably just wasn't healthy. Just wasn't healthy. Signed all
150
00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:29.199
that money. Atlanta need a dub. Got, you know, put
151
00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:33.419
pressure on him to play. But anyway, he's 16.9% roster,
152
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.250
so just under 17.
153
00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:38.529
So he's widely available. You can trust that. I mentioned
154
00:08:38.570 --> 00:08:38.889
him earlier.
155
00:08:38.909 --> 00:08:42.330
He was a top performer with the 26.25 fantasy points.
156
00:08:42.730 --> 00:08:45.590
Had 365 yards. I think I said three 30s. He
157
00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:48.090
only had two. He had a pick. But it's one
158
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:49.990
of the best starts I've seen from the Raiders with
159
00:08:50.029 --> 00:08:52.950
my own two in over 20 years. Last good start
160
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:56.269
they had like this was the Rich Gannon, Tim Brown,
161
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.259
Jerry Rice years in 03.
162
00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:01.200
03. Crazy.
163
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:06.059
Anyway, Kirk Cousins got these boys balling. Lock it in.
164
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.299
You can trust Kirk. You can throw him in the
165
00:09:08.350 --> 00:09:10.350
lineup if you need QB help at this point in
166
00:09:10.370 --> 00:09:14.789
the season. Look, now I know when he was with Atlanta,
167
00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:17.909
they were saying this guy was 1B, but I just
168
00:09:17.950 --> 00:09:18.950
want to throw this out there.
169
00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:22.370
Let's cut the crap. He was never 1B. He was two.
170
00:09:23.110 --> 00:09:26.149
Bijan is the best running back in the league, locking in.
171
00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:31.840
Well, anyway, Algiers, former backup, now with the Cardinals, got
172
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:35.259
a good opportunity in front of him. 28% roster, 55%
173
00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:39.460
of the snaps in week four. Jeremiah Love did play
174
00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:39.919
the game.
175
00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:40.360
He left.
176
00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:43.570
He played 45% of the snaps. He left the game
177
00:09:43.590 --> 00:09:44.399
with a leg injury.
178
00:09:44.889 --> 00:09:48.190
But look what Tyler Algiers did. Eight rushes, 42 yards.
179
00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.860
A 30, also had two catches for seven yards.
180
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.279
Now the receiving stats ain't lovely, but with being in
181
00:09:55.330 --> 00:09:57.169
a PPR, that's a lovely day.
182
00:09:57.549 --> 00:09:59.940
Or not lovely, it's a decent day. You can play
183
00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.159
with it. You can win. You can win. So, I
184
00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:04.480
ain't going to knock him. You know what I mean?
185
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.500
Like, he worth the ad. He's widely available as well.
186
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.889
You need running back help like I do. Tyler Algier
187
00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:13.409
is a guy you need to go grab on the
188
00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:17.009
waivers this week. So, that was the Hustlers pickup for
189
00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:21.259
the week five. Now it's decision time. As you know, injuries,
190
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:25.200
everything happened in football. Risk of the bench is so
191
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.299
much information. You need help with them start set calls.
192
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.639
Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's what I'm here for.
193
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.799
Risk of the bench is the segment start set.
194
00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:35.919
Yeah.
195
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.940
Let's not get cute either, though. Let's look at the
196
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.799
data in front of us and make informed decisions. Don't
197
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.039
play with it. Don't take your feelings out of it. So, look,
198
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:52.600
first up, Parker Washington. Parker Washington versus the Eagles. Look, me, personally,
199
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.740
I'm going to risk this. This is a good one
200
00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:58.240
because Washington just burned a lot of fans and managers
201
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.820
with only two points in week four, and he played
202
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:05.649
80% of the snaps. See, but this is why I
203
00:11:05.669 --> 00:11:09.230
risk it. 80% of the snaps. Jacoby Myers got 82%
204
00:11:09.230 --> 00:11:15.629
of the snaps. So, depending on the day, 1A, 1B,
205
00:11:15.649 --> 00:11:19.570
that's a real 1A, 1B right there. 82 to 80,
206
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:22.990
not a huge disparity. And the Eagles got the 17th
207
00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:27.330
ranked pass deep. Not great, not terrible. They're middle of
208
00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:30.289
the road. And if there's anybody that Parker Washington can
209
00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:35.110
bounce back against, it's the Eagles. And funny enough, great segue,
210
00:11:35.570 --> 00:11:38.009
the person that on the other side of the ball
211
00:11:38.049 --> 00:11:41.970
for the Eagles that'll be playing the Jaguars is Jalen Hurts.
212
00:11:42.529 --> 00:11:47.519
Me personally, I'm benching this with the quickness. With the quickness.
213
00:11:48.070 --> 00:11:50.509
And the thing is, bro, I like Hurts. I think
214
00:11:50.529 --> 00:11:54.850
he legit. However, what I'm seeing over the course of
215
00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:58.320
his career, it seems like he struggles when the game
216
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.980
script don't go the way they want it to go.
217
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:05.299
And that's the thing. The offense stalled against the Rams Sunday.
218
00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:09.700
They went 0 for 12 on third downs. And to me,
219
00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:14.340
in early information already, are leading to Jalen Hurts being
220
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:19.370
QB 16 going into week five. If you're in a
221
00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:22.629
12-man league, you can find 15 other quarterbacks that'll be
222
00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:25.690
better than him to save your season to start, that
223
00:12:25.710 --> 00:12:26.710
you can start over him.
224
00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:29.190
I said save your season. That was a little dire.
225
00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:30.049
It ain't that dire.
226
00:12:30.070 --> 00:12:32.370
But we're getting to that point, though. It's going to
227
00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:34.029
come here quick, for sure.
228
00:12:34.509 --> 00:12:36.090
But, look, this is the thing.
229
00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:40.330
If you don't have a better situation, I will say,
230
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:42.990
I just want to leave y'all this tidbit. I still
231
00:12:43.009 --> 00:12:45.950
stand strong on benching Jalen Hurts, but I'll leave this
232
00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:50.210
with you. Jazz got the 31st-ranked passing defense and the
233
00:12:50.370 --> 00:12:51.509
26th-ranked total defense.
234
00:12:52.049 --> 00:12:54.149
Do with that what you will. But if it's me,
235
00:12:54.409 --> 00:12:55.490
I'm benching Jalen Hurst.
236
00:12:57.289 --> 00:13:00.909
Hey, look, I got a shot out the Louisiana animal, man.
237
00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:05.210
Got a shot him out. Keon Coleman against the Rams.
238
00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:08.769
Me personally. But all bias aside, though, I'm still risking this.
239
00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:13.090
The reason why DJ Moore just got hurt again, right?
240
00:13:13.490 --> 00:13:17.250
He just left. And he aggravated his shoulder injury. So
241
00:13:17.289 --> 00:13:19.990
if it's a lot more hurt than what he's letting on,
242
00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:24.570
because he's trying to get his bread together, if he
243
00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:28.039
keeps missing time, Keon Coleman will become the number one receiver.
244
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.299
And honestly, I will say this.
245
00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:35.539
He was only 4.2% rostered, which means he is a
246
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:41.580
hustler's pickup. He's a waiver wire gem by the definition
247
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:44.620
through and through. This ain't his first time having five
248
00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:47.960
or more catches with 100-plus yards and a tutty. So
249
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:51.139
we've seen he's shown flashes. I know a lot of
250
00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:56.159
people don't like the separation, the antics. I really feel like, man,
251
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.539
y'all just putting too much pressure on the young boy.
252
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.990
Let the young man, let him ball, bro. Let him
253
00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:04.070
go out there and ball. And right now, he got
254
00:14:04.110 --> 00:14:08.529
the opportunity to do that against the Rams. Now, I
255
00:14:08.629 --> 00:14:12.710
ain't ignoring the Rams got the second-ranked passing defense. But
256
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.279
What I like more than the Rams' second-ranked passing defense
257
00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:20.429
is that Keion Coleman can be the number one receiver,
258
00:14:20.830 --> 00:14:23.990
not only for week five, but for the foreseeable future
259
00:14:25.149 --> 00:14:28.710
or short-term future. Let's go short-term because DJ Moore is
260
00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:31.429
not out for the season. So let's go short-term. But
261
00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:35.340
Keion Coleman can definitely get you some wins. Do not
262
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.220
play with it. Don't hesitate on it. Keion Coleman is
263
00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:40.399
a major risk.
264
00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:41.590
Risk it.
265
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.860
A major start. He's a major risk it call. He's
266
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.740
a major start for week five against the Rams. All right.
267
00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:56.539
Tony Pollard, the OG vet. Me, I ain't going to lie.
268
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.259
This is the only one on this list that I'm
269
00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:01.120
not definitive either way.
270
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.419
And the reason why I say that, I know that's
271
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:04.970
a cop out. It's easy to do that.
272
00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:07.830
But the reason why I say that is because it
273
00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:11.509
depends on your running back situation. If he's your third
274
00:15:11.549 --> 00:15:14.570
best back, You probably went back heavy in the draft.
275
00:15:14.970 --> 00:15:17.580
You prioritize that. So you probably don't even need to
276
00:15:17.669 --> 00:15:21.299
question if you're going to start Tony Pollard. However, if
277
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.480
you were to look there in that back and he's
278
00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:26.799
your second best back, I would risk this personally.
279
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.519
I would risk it in that situation.
280
00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:32.379
And that's why I say I'm not a definitive on
281
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.039
both sides because it depends on your situation. And you
282
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.720
know your roster better than anybody else do. So don't
283
00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:42.330
get your feelings involved. Don't get cute. Don't start trying
284
00:15:42.350 --> 00:15:45.240
to overanalyze it, making it seem like you just being
285
00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:45.980
super smart.
286
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.960
You're not. Don't do that.
287
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.879
If your back situation good enough to where you don't
288
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.159
have to start them, don't risk it. He's playing the
289
00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:55.940
Texans this week. And if your back situation ain't good
290
00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:58.480
enough to not start them, you can risk it. And
291
00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.399
the reason why you can risk it, yes, Houston has
292
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.940
the fourth-ranked run defense.
293
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.879
Not ignoring that. They stopped.
294
00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:10.789
However, they got the 28th-ranked pass defense. So the passing game,
295
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.440
For the running backs, could go up. Now, that does
296
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:18.639
lean more Tajay Spears. However, pilot has shown he can
297
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.620
do a little bit of it too. They just don't
298
00:16:20.750 --> 00:16:25.129
use him as such. But like I said, if he
299
00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:27.690
your third best back, bench it. If he your second
300
00:16:27.730 --> 00:16:29.450
best back, risk it.
301
00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:33.289
Risk it. All right?
302
00:16:33.330 --> 00:16:39.059
Last one on this list, man. Keon Coleman, teammate. Dalton Kincaid.
303
00:16:39.539 --> 00:16:42.029
I'm benching this with the quickness. Now, I get it.
304
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.940
He's on the offensive side of the ball. He's in
305
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.129
the pass and attack. And I said to start Keion Coleman. However,
306
00:16:49.809 --> 00:16:53.470
the opportunity for Kincaid is not the same as it
307
00:16:53.610 --> 00:16:58.429
is for Coleman. Kincaid is a tight end. The Rams
308
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:02.460
give up the fourth fewest points to tight end. And
309
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.799
it's under five points per game.
310
00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:07.119
Now, I get it. DJ Moore out.
311
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.859
So it could create the opportunity for Dalton Kincaid. But
312
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.609
let's not get cute. I just told you earlier the
313
00:17:14.650 --> 00:17:19.990
Rams got the second-ranked pass defense. On top of their
314
00:17:20.069 --> 00:17:22.970
top five in the fewest fantasy points given up to
315
00:17:23.009 --> 00:17:26.319
tight ends. So they are not only locking up the pass,
316
00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:30.240
they are locking tight ends up. So do not risk this.
317
00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:33.960
I would bench Dalton Kincaid with the quickness.
318
00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:38.470
So... Oh, yeah.
319
00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:44.490
So for me, that's what you do with Don Kincaid.
320
00:17:44.509 --> 00:17:46.950
You bench that. Don't get it twisted. Don't get cute.
321
00:17:47.109 --> 00:17:48.210
Take your feelings out of it.
322
00:17:48.609 --> 00:17:51.000
So that's a wrap on the risk of the benching call.
323
00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:56.019
Start-sit situation. Hit me on X at Hustle Sportsnet. Anywhere
324
00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:59.500
else at the Hustle Sportsnet work, let me know. Hit
325
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.819
me with your start-sit questions.
326
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.990
I got you. Now this next one is where we're
327
00:18:05.009 --> 00:18:07.099
logging in. You know what I mean? It's who I
328
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.380
throw away the key with. I lock the lock, throw
329
00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.059
away the key.
330
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.180
And for me, this one actually was pretty damn easy.
331
00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.359
I'm not going to lie to you. This was pretty
332
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.589
damn easy. For me, got to go with Kyle, my
333
00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:27.549
nun guy, bro. 30 rushes.
334
00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:28.230
30.
335
00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:34.450
That is a old school workhorse, bell cow type of game.
336
00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.230
30.
337
00:18:36.230 --> 00:18:39.210
And not only did he have 30 rushes, he cut
338
00:18:39.269 --> 00:18:43.140
up with them too. He had 146 yards, two 30s.
339
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.539
And that is crazy. He did that against.
340
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.839
Who did they have last week? Who did they have?
341
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.299
Reading is fundamental. Reading is definitely fundamental.
342
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.500
The Bears had the Jets. Yeah, damn, I said that.
343
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.500
I could have saved five minutes of your time.
344
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.730
Yes, the Jets. Look, He did that against the Jets.
345
00:19:07.490 --> 00:19:10.859
Now he's going against the 29th-ranked run defense against the
346
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.619
Packers this upcoming week in Week 5. And I just
347
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:18.680
told you, 30 rushes, 146. They benched Swift. Locking in
348
00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:21.880
with Menunga. I'm locking the lock, and I'm throwing away
349
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.299
the key on Kyle Menunga.
350
00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:30.779
Don't get this twisted. So we breezed through here. You
351
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.000
know what I mean? We got through here. Hit me
352
00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:35.299

355

And before we get up out of here, I want
356
00:19:43.869 --> 00:19:46.990
to close with a fantasy community debate.
357
00:19:47.849 --> 00:19:50.519
We're four weeks into the season. I hear this is
358
00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:53.099
the question. We're four weeks into the season.
359
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.809
At what point do you stop calling a by-low struggling
360
00:19:57.849 --> 00:20:01.769
player or a struggling player a by-low and accept that
361
00:20:01.789 --> 00:20:04.170
this may be who he is in 2026? I'm going
362
00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:09.670
to be honest. For me, I think now, week four,
363
00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:12.670
And I don't think you could put a number on it,
364
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.039
but like on X, I saw that called Mazda Marv.
365
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.279
You know, he lost to Maserati, now he Mazda Marv.
366
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.960
He's definitely, he scored Sunday and still didn't crack double
367
00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:30.950
figures on points. And I got him still holding on hope,
368
00:20:31.009 --> 00:20:35.170
smoking hopium. Do not smoke hopium. After week four, bro,
369
00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:36.069
they are who they are.
370
00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:37.980
Yeah, you might.
371
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.119
And the thing is, yeah, you might drop him and
372
00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:43.079
somebody else may get him. But if you drop him,
373
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.359
he don't go off until week eight and somebody you
374
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.000
got go off the rest of the season. Are you
375
00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.240
really crying about that? Especially if it changed the trajectory
376
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.319
of your season. You're probably not. So don't get it twisted, bro.
377
00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:59.660
Take your feelings out. Week four, and I don't like
378
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.329
to put numbers on things, but I think after four games,
379
00:21:02.369 --> 00:21:04.990
we know who is who, what they do.
380
00:21:05.670 --> 00:21:06.960
Or what the team trying to do.
381
00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:10.460
And what's crazy is I saw the Cardinals trying to
382
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.339
force some plays for Marv, too. That's the crazy thing. So, hey,
383
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.799
I'm just telling you what I see. Make sure y'all
384
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.579
trust that data. It's numbers over narratives. That's a wrap
385
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.099
on the week four recap. Week five preparation. Look, I
386
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:31.859
gave you top performers, injury recap, hustlers pick up. That's
387
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.880

You already know how we getting down. Look, we here
4
00:00:19.570 --> 00:00:22.410
to get dubs. We here to try to get a dub, bro. Look,
5
00:00:23.289 --> 00:00:26.170
the week, the season is flying upon us, bro. We
6
00:00:26.230 --> 00:00:30.410
just left week four already. It's happening real quick. It's
7
00:00:30.449 --> 00:00:33.969
time to buckle down and get serious. Don't play with it.
8
00:00:34.009 --> 00:00:36.740
Don't get it twisted. Look, you already know numbers over narrative.
9
00:00:37.159 --> 00:00:39.210
Like I said, week four was a fun one. We
10
00:00:39.250 --> 00:00:41.890
got to get ready for week five starting now. Final
11
00:00:41.950 --> 00:00:45.840
prep before week five. Look, before we get into everything,
12
00:00:45.899 --> 00:00:48.979
I want to give y'all a top performance, injury recap,
13
00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:53.020
hustler's pickup. That's the waiver-wide scoop. Risk of the benching,
14
00:00:53.039 --> 00:00:56.579
that's the start-sit segment. Hustler's energy lock pick of the week.
15
00:00:56.939 --> 00:00:58.920
And then we're going to get up out of here
16
00:00:58.939 --> 00:01:02.780
with a fantasy community debate. So we ain't got a
17
00:01:02.799 --> 00:01:04.829
lot of time that's going to get into it. Top
18
00:01:04.849 --> 00:01:08.549
performance of the week. Week four was crazy. We saw
19
00:01:08.590 --> 00:01:11.310
some guys we've seen over the course of the last
20
00:01:11.390 --> 00:01:12.010
few years.
21
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:13.590
We already know how they get down.
22
00:01:13.890 --> 00:01:18.629
First up is Kyron Williams running back from the Rams, 36.7
23
00:01:18.629 --> 00:01:23.969
fantasy points, 16 carries, 80 yards, two teddies, 10 catches,
24
00:01:23.969 --> 00:01:24.650
67 yards.
25
00:01:24.670 --> 00:01:25.370
It's funny.
26
00:01:25.829 --> 00:01:28.069
Guy played in my main league. I had the pleasure
27
00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:31.969
of playing him. He started Kyron Williams against me, went crazy.
28
00:01:32.469 --> 00:01:35.319
Then this next guy he had started him against me,
29
00:01:35.359 --> 00:01:39.599
went crazy. That's Ted Arroyo McMillan, wide receiver from the Panthers,
30
00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:46.040
Carolina Panthers. 45.2 fantasy points, 14 catches, 192 yards, two teddies.
31
00:01:46.739 --> 00:01:47.439
Went crazy.
32
00:01:47.519 --> 00:01:52.260
And he did, yeah, that game, man. Ted really liked that.
33
00:01:52.859 --> 00:01:57.290
Ted really liked that. QB, I got Drake Mayhill down here,
34
00:01:57.590 --> 00:01:59.870
but it actually was Kirk Cousins from the Raiders.
35
00:02:00.189 --> 00:02:06.640
Had 365 yards, 26.25 yards. fantasy points.
36
00:02:06.659 --> 00:02:08.500
So it was a light week for the QBs this
37
00:02:08.539 --> 00:02:11.699
week when it came to fantasy points. They didn't blow
38
00:02:11.740 --> 00:02:14.319
us away with their top scores, but that was the
39
00:02:14.360 --> 00:02:17.620
top score, Kirk Cousins from the Las Vegas Raiders. I
40
00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:19.460
don't know if I said Los Angeles. That's crazy if
41
00:02:19.539 --> 00:02:21.620
I did because they ain't been there in a minute. Look,
42
00:02:22.099 --> 00:02:24.780
tight end, I had this guy over the last couple years, man.
43
00:02:24.800 --> 00:02:27.560
I really like what he do. Real simple, real straight,
44
00:02:27.719 --> 00:02:29.960
real bring your lunch pail to work kind of guy.
45
00:02:30.400 --> 00:02:33.699
Tight end, that's TJ Hockerson from the Minnesota Vikings. Had 24.9
46
00:02:33.699 --> 00:02:38.979
fantasy points. 13 catches, 119 yards, didn't even score.
47
00:02:39.400 --> 00:02:41.659
Didn't even score and had a crazy day. Top scoring
48
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:42.039
tight end.
49
00:02:42.060 --> 00:02:45.199
That's the second time that happened this season that the
50
00:02:45.259 --> 00:02:53.990
top scoring tight end didn't score a touchdown. The Giants
51
00:02:54.050 --> 00:02:57.729
D was the top scoring defense, which is also crazy
52
00:02:57.990 --> 00:03:01.129
because they gave up 24 points. So for them to
53
00:03:01.150 --> 00:03:03.969
be the top scoring defense while giving up them amount
54
00:03:03.990 --> 00:03:08.199
of points, that is insane. They scored 16 points, got
55
00:03:08.240 --> 00:03:12.000
three picks, two sacks, and they scored a touchdown in
56
00:03:12.039 --> 00:03:14.610
the last second of the game or after the buzzer
57
00:03:14.629 --> 00:03:18.550
went off. They scored a touchdown to seal the deal.
58
00:03:18.889 --> 00:03:21.750
So it's crazy to me that they scored. They were
59
00:03:21.770 --> 00:03:25.680
the top scoring defense, and they gave up 24 points.
60
00:03:25.719 --> 00:03:26.340
That's insane.
61
00:03:26.360 --> 00:03:28.919
So let's show you how much turnovers are important. Those
62
00:03:28.939 --> 00:03:31.689
are your studs. Those are your top dogs. If you
63
00:03:31.729 --> 00:03:33.370
had a chance to play them or you got them
64
00:03:33.469 --> 00:03:35.810
on your roster, shout out to y'all, man. That's good
65
00:03:35.849 --> 00:03:37.150
management work, and that's.
66
00:03:37.050 --> 00:03:39.469
Why we're here. Y'all already know there's only one reason
67
00:03:39.889 --> 00:03:44.770
why we are here, and that is to get a dub.
68
00:03:44.810 --> 00:03:48.210
That is it. We are only here to get a dub.
69
00:03:48.289 --> 00:03:50.870
Mark it down. Y'all was your top dogs.
70
00:03:50.889 --> 00:03:55.270
Before we keep it moving, man, as always, prayers up
71
00:03:55.629 --> 00:03:58.620
for these players. Injuries are a part of the game.
72
00:03:58.659 --> 00:04:00.729
We hate to see them. but they are part of
73
00:04:00.770 --> 00:04:03.050
the game. So I definitely want to make sure we
74
00:04:03.090 --> 00:04:06.469
keep the human aspect that these guys are humans.
75
00:04:07.240 --> 00:04:09.099
Players, man, look, I get it. You bet.
76
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:11.300
You know, you do your thing. You want these players
77
00:04:11.340 --> 00:04:15.879
to perform. But injuries are part of the game. Prayers up.
78
00:04:16.120 --> 00:04:19.899
Get close to 100% as possible, man. Look, first is
79
00:04:19.939 --> 00:04:22.360
Marcus Mariota, and that sucked for the commanders, though, because
80
00:04:22.379 --> 00:04:25.079
they already downed Jayden Daniels. He had a right knee
81
00:04:25.160 --> 00:04:29.000
MCL sprain. I got this guy who started. Thankfully, I
82
00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.949
didn't start him. Didn't make much of a difference. Lamar Jackson, man,
83
00:04:32.990 --> 00:04:35.310
left high ankle sprain. And as y'all know, them high
84
00:04:35.350 --> 00:04:38.730
ankle sprains tricky. You can miss, hell, you can miss
85
00:04:38.889 --> 00:04:41.670
one week to seven weeks. I had Eckler one year,
86
00:04:41.730 --> 00:04:44.149
he had the high ankle sprain. I believe he missed
87
00:04:44.170 --> 00:04:47.050
like eight, nine weeks. And that was the last year
88
00:04:47.110 --> 00:04:51.149
that he was projected to be elite. So that's tough. Anyway,
89
00:04:51.449 --> 00:04:54.819
that's living in the past. It's 2026. Dak Prescott had
90
00:04:54.860 --> 00:05:00.129
a right hand laceration. Saquon Barkley, right hamstring injury. Jeremiah Love,
91
00:05:00.189 --> 00:05:05.009
possible leg injury. Ramondre Stevenson, right knee injury. Kyle Menunga,
92
00:05:05.050 --> 00:05:11.120
thumb injury. Chris Brooks, ankle injury. Jamar Chase, concussion. I
93
00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:12.420
saw that play. It was crazy.
94
00:05:12.459 --> 00:05:15.500
It was a little nasty. So hopefully he's straight.
95
00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:20.339
Hopefully he's shaked back. T. Higgins, left groin, adductor strain.
96
00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:22.600
That's going to suck for the Bengals if they miss time, too.
97
00:05:23.199 --> 00:05:28.709
Rasheed Rice, left hamstring strain. Ladd McConkey. Right foot re-injury,
98
00:05:28.750 --> 00:05:32.430
DJ Moore, possible shoulder re-injury. He did lead that game.
99
00:05:32.750 --> 00:05:36.050
Mack Hollins left calf strain. So some opportunity there for
100
00:05:36.069 --> 00:05:39.329
them New England Patriots out there. Tyquan Thorne, I saw
101
00:05:39.350 --> 00:05:44.220
this one. This was definitely nasty. Left ankle dislocation. Pat Bryant,
102
00:05:44.339 --> 00:05:51.579
right ankle fracture. Jalen Lane, left ankle fracture, dislocation. Jalen Naylor, concussion.
103
00:05:52.279 --> 00:05:55.220
So before we wrap that up, again, prayers up to
104
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:58.930
those players. I want them to get to closest 100%
105
00:05:58.930 --> 00:06:02.240
as they possibly can, you know, from the sport of football.
106
00:06:02.569 --> 00:06:05.220
So with that being said, we're going to keep it moving, man.
107
00:06:05.240 --> 00:06:08.360
Look, Hustlers Energy, or not the Hustlers Energy, Hustlers Pickup
108
00:06:08.399 --> 00:06:13.079
Waverwide Gems. And as I just named them two Bengals players,
109
00:06:13.439 --> 00:06:16.040
I see there's some opportunity on their lineup too. So
110
00:06:16.060 --> 00:06:18.180
I'm going to do a midweek Hustler episode, see if
111
00:06:18.220 --> 00:06:20.290
they got something working out there just in case they
112
00:06:20.310 --> 00:06:26.540
miss some time chasing Higgins. But for now, Let's keep
113
00:06:26.600 --> 00:06:30.660
it pushing, man. Hustlers pick up. First up, I got
114
00:06:30.720 --> 00:06:34.180
Romeo Dobbs. I just spoke about Mack Hollins. They already
115
00:06:34.220 --> 00:06:34.980
down A.J.
116
00:06:35.019 --> 00:06:39.209
Brown. And Romeo Dobbs had a great week four, too.
117
00:06:39.250 --> 00:06:42.750
So if you had him, I see 58% roster. So
118
00:06:42.790 --> 00:06:45.589
if you had him, man, that's great management work. That's
119
00:06:45.610 --> 00:06:47.649
what we're here for. That's what we're here for, to
120
00:06:47.670 --> 00:06:50.930
get that management work out here. Look, five target average
121
00:06:50.949 --> 00:06:54.250
for the season, 11.1 fantasy point average for the season.
122
00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:57.220
I expect that to go up at least while Hollins
123
00:06:57.300 --> 00:06:58.060
and A.J.
124
00:06:58.100 --> 00:06:58.860
Brown are down.
125
00:06:59.620 --> 00:07:02.160
He was the number one receiver on Sunday, played 64%
126
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:06.720
of the snaps, led the team, also had two touchdowns
127
00:07:07.060 --> 00:07:10.800
in week four. Romeo Dobbs is the play to go
128
00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:12.920
get if you need wide receiver help.
129
00:07:13.579 --> 00:07:14.250
Lock that in.
130
00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:17.610
Next up, man, I spoke about this guy as a
131
00:07:17.670 --> 00:07:21.810
top performer. Yeah, and it's crazy. He's 54% roster, and
132
00:07:21.870 --> 00:07:24.379
I thought, Based on what he did last year, this
133
00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:26.899
seemed kind of high. So the fact that he rostered
134
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:29.800
like this, people seeing it. They not sleep on him. Look,
135
00:07:29.920 --> 00:07:33.379
six and a half targets average per game this season.
136
00:07:33.379 --> 00:07:39.279
83% of the snaps on Sunday. Look, 11.9 fantasy points.
137
00:07:39.319 --> 00:07:41.860
It's a tight end. You give me 12 points, you
138
00:07:41.899 --> 00:07:42.379
my guy.
139
00:07:42.920 --> 00:07:47.399
And Jettas missed week four, but that don't matter because
140
00:07:47.500 --> 00:07:51.050
Hockerson got four more targets in the games that Jettas
141
00:07:51.069 --> 00:07:56.769
did play. So, like, the QB room in Minnesota has
142
00:07:56.970 --> 00:08:00.860
proven that Hockerson is not affected by Jetta's plan or
143
00:08:00.879 --> 00:08:04.139
the QB's anymore. You can go grab him. You can
144
00:08:04.180 --> 00:08:09.079
trust him. You can throw him in the lineup. Kirk Cousins,
145
00:08:09.259 --> 00:08:12.480
old man river, man. Hey, it's good to see he
146
00:08:12.579 --> 00:08:16.000
over here because when he was with the Falcons, I
147
00:08:16.399 --> 00:08:18.139
ain't going to lie to you. I thought bro was cooked.
148
00:08:18.199 --> 00:08:21.230
I thought he was done. He looked washed. But he
149
00:08:21.290 --> 00:08:24.779
clearly probably just wasn't healthy. Just wasn't healthy. Signed all
150
00:08:24.819 --> 00:08:29.199
that money. Atlanta need a dub. Got, you know, put
151
00:08:29.259 --> 00:08:33.419
pressure on him to play. But anyway, he's 16.9% roster,
152
00:08:33.440 --> 00:08:35.250
so just under 17.
153
00:08:35.250 --> 00:08:38.529
So he's widely available. You can trust that. I mentioned
154
00:08:38.570 --> 00:08:38.889
him earlier.
155
00:08:38.909 --> 00:08:42.330
He was a top performer with the 26.25 fantasy points.
156
00:08:42.730 --> 00:08:45.590
Had 365 yards. I think I said three 30s. He
157
00:08:45.649 --> 00:08:48.090
only had two. He had a pick. But it's one
158
00:08:48.110 --> 00:08:49.990
of the best starts I've seen from the Raiders with
159
00:08:50.029 --> 00:08:52.950
my own two in over 20 years. Last good start
160
00:08:52.970 --> 00:08:56.269
they had like this was the Rich Gannon, Tim Brown,
161
00:08:56.320 --> 00:08:59.259
Jerry Rice years in 03.
162
00:08:59.259 --> 00:09:01.200
03. Crazy.
163
00:09:01.820 --> 00:09:06.059
Anyway, Kirk Cousins got these boys balling. Lock it in.
164
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:08.299
You can trust Kirk. You can throw him in the
165
00:09:08.350 --> 00:09:10.350
lineup if you need QB help at this point in
166
00:09:10.370 --> 00:09:14.789
the season. Look, now I know when he was with Atlanta,
167
00:09:14.809 --> 00:09:17.909
they were saying this guy was 1B, but I just
168
00:09:17.950 --> 00:09:18.950
want to throw this out there.
169
00:09:18.990 --> 00:09:22.370
Let's cut the crap. He was never 1B. He was two.
170
00:09:23.110 --> 00:09:26.149
Bijan is the best running back in the league, locking in.
171
00:09:27.899 --> 00:09:31.840
Well, anyway, Algiers, former backup, now with the Cardinals, got
172
00:09:31.860 --> 00:09:35.259
a good opportunity in front of him. 28% roster, 55%
173
00:09:35.259 --> 00:09:39.460
of the snaps in week four. Jeremiah Love did play
174
00:09:39.500 --> 00:09:39.919
the game.
175
00:09:39.940 --> 00:09:40.360
He left.
176
00:09:40.659 --> 00:09:43.570
He played 45% of the snaps. He left the game
177
00:09:43.590 --> 00:09:44.399
with a leg injury.
178
00:09:44.889 --> 00:09:48.190
But look what Tyler Algiers did. Eight rushes, 42 yards.
179
00:09:49.220 --> 00:09:51.860
A 30, also had two catches for seven yards.
180
00:09:51.919 --> 00:09:55.279
Now the receiving stats ain't lovely, but with being in
181
00:09:55.330 --> 00:09:57.169
a PPR, that's a lovely day.
182
00:09:57.549 --> 00:09:59.940
Or not lovely, it's a decent day. You can play
183
00:09:59.980 --> 00:10:02.159
with it. You can win. You can win. So, I
184
00:10:02.980 --> 00:10:04.480
ain't going to knock him. You know what I mean?
185
00:10:04.519 --> 00:10:07.500
Like, he worth the ad. He's widely available as well.
186
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.889
You need running back help like I do. Tyler Algier
187
00:10:11.909 --> 00:10:13.409
is a guy you need to go grab on the
188
00:10:13.450 --> 00:10:17.009
waivers this week. So, that was the Hustlers pickup for
189
00:10:17.029 --> 00:10:21.259
the week five. Now it's decision time. As you know, injuries,
190
00:10:21.980 --> 00:10:25.200
everything happened in football. Risk of the bench is so
191
00:10:25.240 --> 00:10:28.299
much information. You need help with them start set calls.
192
00:10:28.759 --> 00:10:30.639
Ain't nothing wrong with that. That's what I'm here for.
193
00:10:30.980 --> 00:10:34.799
Risk of the bench is the segment start set.
194
00:10:35.580 --> 00:10:35.919
Yeah.
195
00:10:36.639 --> 00:10:38.940
Let's not get cute either, though. Let's look at the
196
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:42.799
data in front of us and make informed decisions. Don't
197
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.039
play with it. Don't take your feelings out of it. So, look,
198
00:10:45.399 --> 00:10:52.600
first up, Parker Washington. Parker Washington versus the Eagles. Look, me, personally,
199
00:10:52.740 --> 00:10:54.740
I'm going to risk this. This is a good one
200
00:10:54.820 --> 00:10:58.240
because Washington just burned a lot of fans and managers
201
00:10:58.559 --> 00:11:01.820
with only two points in week four, and he played
202
00:11:01.820 --> 00:11:05.649
80% of the snaps. See, but this is why I
203
00:11:05.669 --> 00:11:09.230
risk it. 80% of the snaps. Jacoby Myers got 82%
204
00:11:09.230 --> 00:11:15.629
of the snaps. So, depending on the day, 1A, 1B,
205
00:11:15.649 --> 00:11:19.570
that's a real 1A, 1B right there. 82 to 80,
206
00:11:19.570 --> 00:11:22.990
not a huge disparity. And the Eagles got the 17th
207
00:11:23.049 --> 00:11:27.330
ranked pass deep. Not great, not terrible. They're middle of
208
00:11:27.350 --> 00:11:30.289
the road. And if there's anybody that Parker Washington can
209
00:11:30.330 --> 00:11:35.110
bounce back against, it's the Eagles. And funny enough, great segue,
210
00:11:35.570 --> 00:11:38.009
the person that on the other side of the ball
211
00:11:38.049 --> 00:11:41.970
for the Eagles that'll be playing the Jaguars is Jalen Hurts.
212
00:11:42.529 --> 00:11:47.519
Me personally, I'm benching this with the quickness. With the quickness.
213
00:11:48.070 --> 00:11:50.509
And the thing is, bro, I like Hurts. I think
214
00:11:50.529 --> 00:11:54.850
he legit. However, what I'm seeing over the course of
215
00:11:54.870 --> 00:11:58.320
his career, it seems like he struggles when the game
216
00:11:58.340 --> 00:12:00.980
script don't go the way they want it to go.
217
00:12:01.500 --> 00:12:05.299
And that's the thing. The offense stalled against the Rams Sunday.
218
00:12:05.580 --> 00:12:09.700
They went 0 for 12 on third downs. And to me,
219
00:12:09.899 --> 00:12:14.340
in early information already, are leading to Jalen Hurts being
220
00:12:14.399 --> 00:12:19.370
QB 16 going into week five. If you're in a
221
00:12:19.379 --> 00:12:22.629
12-man league, you can find 15 other quarterbacks that'll be
222
00:12:22.669 --> 00:12:25.690
better than him to save your season to start, that
223
00:12:25.710 --> 00:12:26.710
you can start over him.
224
00:12:27.029 --> 00:12:29.190
I said save your season. That was a little dire.
225
00:12:29.250 --> 00:12:30.049
It ain't that dire.
226
00:12:30.070 --> 00:12:32.370
But we're getting to that point, though. It's going to
227
00:12:32.389 --> 00:12:34.029
come here quick, for sure.
228
00:12:34.509 --> 00:12:36.090
But, look, this is the thing.
229
00:12:36.110 --> 00:12:40.330
If you don't have a better situation, I will say,
230
00:12:40.769 --> 00:12:42.990
I just want to leave y'all this tidbit. I still
231
00:12:43.009 --> 00:12:45.950
stand strong on benching Jalen Hurts, but I'll leave this
232
00:12:45.990 --> 00:12:50.210
with you. Jazz got the 31st-ranked passing defense and the
233
00:12:50.370 --> 00:12:51.509
26th-ranked total defense.
234
00:12:52.049 --> 00:12:54.149
Do with that what you will. But if it's me,
235
00:12:54.409 --> 00:12:55.490
I'm benching Jalen Hurst.
236
00:12:57.289 --> 00:13:00.909
Hey, look, I got a shot out the Louisiana animal, man.
237
00:13:01.370 --> 00:13:05.210
Got a shot him out. Keon Coleman against the Rams.
238
00:13:05.590 --> 00:13:08.769
Me personally. But all bias aside, though, I'm still risking this.
239
00:13:09.230 --> 00:13:13.090
The reason why DJ Moore just got hurt again, right?
240
00:13:13.490 --> 00:13:17.250
He just left. And he aggravated his shoulder injury. So
241
00:13:17.289 --> 00:13:19.990
if it's a lot more hurt than what he's letting on,
242
00:13:20.409 --> 00:13:24.570
because he's trying to get his bread together, if he
243
00:13:24.590 --> 00:13:28.039
keeps missing time, Keon Coleman will become the number one receiver.
244
00:13:28.360 --> 00:13:30.299
And honestly, I will say this.
245
00:13:30.659 --> 00:13:35.539
He was only 4.2% rostered, which means he is a
246
00:13:35.919 --> 00:13:41.580
hustler's pickup. He's a waiver wire gem by the definition
247
00:13:41.970 --> 00:13:44.620
through and through. This ain't his first time having five
248
00:13:44.659 --> 00:13:47.960
or more catches with 100-plus yards and a tutty. So
249
00:13:48.019 --> 00:13:51.139
we've seen he's shown flashes. I know a lot of
250
00:13:51.179 --> 00:13:56.159
people don't like the separation, the antics. I really feel like, man,
251
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.539
y'all just putting too much pressure on the young boy.
252
00:13:58.860 --> 00:14:01.990
Let the young man, let him ball, bro. Let him
253
00:14:02.019 --> 00:14:04.070
go out there and ball. And right now, he got
254
00:14:04.110 --> 00:14:08.529
the opportunity to do that against the Rams. Now, I
255
00:14:08.629 --> 00:14:12.710
ain't ignoring the Rams got the second-ranked passing defense. But
256
00:14:13.200 --> 00:14:16.279
What I like more than the Rams' second-ranked passing defense
257
00:14:16.610 --> 00:14:20.429
is that Keion Coleman can be the number one receiver,
258
00:14:20.830 --> 00:14:23.990
not only for week five, but for the foreseeable future
259
00:14:25.149 --> 00:14:28.710
or short-term future. Let's go short-term because DJ Moore is
260
00:14:28.769 --> 00:14:31.429
not out for the season. So let's go short-term. But
261
00:14:31.490 --> 00:14:35.340
Keion Coleman can definitely get you some wins. Do not
262
00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.220
play with it. Don't hesitate on it. Keion Coleman is
263
00:14:39.299 --> 00:14:40.399
a major risk.
264
00:14:41.139 --> 00:14:41.590
Risk it.
265
00:14:43.080 --> 00:14:46.860
A major start. He's a major risk it call. He's
266
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.740
a major start for week five against the Rams. All right.
267
00:14:52.379 --> 00:14:56.539
Tony Pollard, the OG vet. Me, I ain't going to lie.
268
00:14:56.559 --> 00:14:59.259
This is the only one on this list that I'm
269
00:14:59.379 --> 00:15:01.120
not definitive either way.
270
00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:03.419
And the reason why I say that, I know that's
271
00:15:03.480 --> 00:15:04.970
a cop out. It's easy to do that.
272
00:15:05.259 --> 00:15:07.830
But the reason why I say that is because it
273
00:15:07.870 --> 00:15:11.509
depends on your running back situation. If he's your third
274
00:15:11.549 --> 00:15:14.570
best back, You probably went back heavy in the draft.
275
00:15:14.970 --> 00:15:17.580
You prioritize that. So you probably don't even need to
276
00:15:17.669 --> 00:15:21.299
question if you're going to start Tony Pollard. However, if
277
00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:23.480
you were to look there in that back and he's
278
00:15:23.500 --> 00:15:26.799
your second best back, I would risk this personally.
279
00:15:28.039 --> 00:15:29.519
I would risk it in that situation.
280
00:15:30.100 --> 00:15:32.379
And that's why I say I'm not a definitive on
281
00:15:32.440 --> 00:15:36.039
both sides because it depends on your situation. And you
282
00:15:36.080 --> 00:15:38.720
know your roster better than anybody else do. So don't
283
00:15:38.740 --> 00:15:42.330
get your feelings involved. Don't get cute. Don't start trying
284
00:15:42.350 --> 00:15:45.240
to overanalyze it, making it seem like you just being
285
00:15:45.340 --> 00:15:45.980
super smart.
286
00:15:46.000 --> 00:15:47.960
You're not. Don't do that.
287
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.879
If your back situation good enough to where you don't
288
00:15:50.919 --> 00:15:53.159
have to start them, don't risk it. He's playing the
289
00:15:53.220 --> 00:15:55.940
Texans this week. And if your back situation ain't good
290
00:15:55.980 --> 00:15:58.480
enough to not start them, you can risk it. And
291
00:15:58.500 --> 00:16:01.399
the reason why you can risk it, yes, Houston has
292
00:16:01.440 --> 00:16:02.940
the fourth-ranked run defense.
293
00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:04.879
Not ignoring that. They stopped.
294
00:16:05.379 --> 00:16:10.789
However, they got the 28th-ranked pass defense. So the passing game,
295
00:16:11.120 --> 00:16:14.440
For the running backs, could go up. Now, that does
296
00:16:14.500 --> 00:16:18.639
lean more Tajay Spears. However, pilot has shown he can
297
00:16:18.679 --> 00:16:20.620
do a little bit of it too. They just don't
298
00:16:20.750 --> 00:16:25.129
use him as such. But like I said, if he
299
00:16:25.149 --> 00:16:27.690
your third best back, bench it. If he your second
300
00:16:27.730 --> 00:16:29.450
best back, risk it.
301
00:16:29.990 --> 00:16:33.289
Risk it. All right?
302
00:16:33.330 --> 00:16:39.059
Last one on this list, man. Keon Coleman, teammate. Dalton Kincaid.
303
00:16:39.539 --> 00:16:42.029
I'm benching this with the quickness. Now, I get it.
304
00:16:42.440 --> 00:16:44.940
He's on the offensive side of the ball. He's in
305
00:16:44.960 --> 00:16:49.129
the pass and attack. And I said to start Keion Coleman. However,
306
00:16:49.809 --> 00:16:53.470
the opportunity for Kincaid is not the same as it
307
00:16:53.610 --> 00:16:58.429
is for Coleman. Kincaid is a tight end. The Rams
308
00:16:58.620 --> 00:17:02.460
give up the fourth fewest points to tight end. And
309
00:17:02.519 --> 00:17:04.799
it's under five points per game.
310
00:17:05.539 --> 00:17:07.119
Now, I get it. DJ Moore out.
311
00:17:07.640 --> 00:17:10.859
So it could create the opportunity for Dalton Kincaid. But
312
00:17:10.880 --> 00:17:14.609
let's not get cute. I just told you earlier the
313
00:17:14.650 --> 00:17:19.990
Rams got the second-ranked pass defense. On top of their
314
00:17:20.069 --> 00:17:22.970
top five in the fewest fantasy points given up to
315
00:17:23.009 --> 00:17:26.319
tight ends. So they are not only locking up the pass,
316
00:17:26.740 --> 00:17:30.240
they are locking tight ends up. So do not risk this.
317
00:17:30.779 --> 00:17:33.960
I would bench Dalton Kincaid with the quickness.
318
00:17:34.380 --> 00:17:38.470
So... Oh, yeah.
319
00:17:39.970 --> 00:17:44.490
So for me, that's what you do with Don Kincaid.
320
00:17:44.509 --> 00:17:46.950
You bench that. Don't get it twisted. Don't get cute.
321
00:17:47.109 --> 00:17:48.210
Take your feelings out of it.
322
00:17:48.609 --> 00:17:51.000
So that's a wrap on the risk of the benching call.
323
00:17:51.059 --> 00:17:56.019
Start-sit situation. Hit me on X at Hustle Sportsnet. Anywhere
324
00:17:56.099 --> 00:17:59.500
else at the Hustle Sportsnet work, let me know. Hit
325
00:17:59.519 --> 00:18:00.819
me with your start-sit questions.
326
00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.990
I got you. Now this next one is where we're
327
00:18:05.009 --> 00:18:07.099
logging in. You know what I mean? It's who I
328
00:18:07.119 --> 00:18:11.380
throw away the key with. I lock the lock, throw
329
00:18:11.420 --> 00:18:12.059
away the key.
330
00:18:12.720 --> 00:18:17.180
And for me, this one actually was pretty damn easy.
331
00:18:17.220 --> 00:18:19.359
I'm not going to lie to you. This was pretty
332
00:18:19.400 --> 00:18:23.589
damn easy. For me, got to go with Kyle, my
333
00:18:23.630 --> 00:18:27.549
nun guy, bro. 30 rushes.
334
00:18:27.549 --> 00:18:28.230
30.
335
00:18:28.230 --> 00:18:34.450
That is a old school workhorse, bell cow type of game.
336
00:18:34.450 --> 00:18:36.230
30.
337
00:18:36.230 --> 00:18:39.210
And not only did he have 30 rushes, he cut
338
00:18:39.269 --> 00:18:43.140
up with them too. He had 146 yards, two 30s.
339
00:18:43.599 --> 00:18:46.539
And that is crazy. He did that against.
340
00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:50.839
Who did they have last week? Who did they have?
341
00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:55.299
Reading is fundamental. Reading is definitely fundamental.
342
00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:00.500
The Bears had the Jets. Yeah, damn, I said that.
343
00:19:00.559 --> 00:19:02.500
I could have saved five minutes of your time.
344
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.730
Yes, the Jets. Look, He did that against the Jets.
345
00:19:07.490 --> 00:19:10.859
Now he's going against the 29th-ranked run defense against the
346
00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:13.619
Packers this upcoming week in Week 5. And I just
347
00:19:13.640 --> 00:19:18.680
told you, 30 rushes, 146. They benched Swift. Locking in
348
00:19:18.700 --> 00:19:21.880
with Menunga. I'm locking the lock, and I'm throwing away
349
00:19:21.920 --> 00:19:24.299
the key on Kyle Menunga.
350
00:19:24.859 --> 00:19:30.779
Don't get this twisted. So we breezed through here. You
351
00:19:30.799 --> 00:19:33.000
know what I mean? We got through here. Hit me
352
00:19:33.220 --> 00:19:35.299
with your lock. Who you locking with?

00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.960

355
00:19:42.069 --> 00:19:43.849
And before we get up out of here, I want
356
00:19:43.869 --> 00:19:46.990
to close with a fantasy community debate.
357
00:19:47.849 --> 00:19:50.519
We're four weeks into the season. I hear this is
358
00:19:50.539 --> 00:19:53.099
the question. We're four weeks into the season.
359
00:19:54.079 --> 00:19:57.809
At what point do you stop calling a by-low struggling
360
00:19:57.849 --> 00:20:01.769
player or a struggling player a by-low and accept that
361
00:20:01.789 --> 00:20:04.170
this may be who he is in 2026? I'm going
362
00:20:04.230 --> 00:20:09.670
to be honest. For me, I think now, week four,
363
00:20:10.779 --> 00:20:12.670
And I don't think you could put a number on it,
364
00:20:12.680 --> 00:20:18.039
but like on X, I saw that called Mazda Marv.
365
00:20:18.960 --> 00:20:22.279
You know, he lost to Maserati, now he Mazda Marv.
366
00:20:22.359 --> 00:20:25.960
He's definitely, he scored Sunday and still didn't crack double
367
00:20:26.019 --> 00:20:30.950
figures on points. And I got him still holding on hope,
368
00:20:31.009 --> 00:20:35.170
smoking hopium. Do not smoke hopium. After week four, bro,
369
00:20:35.190 --> 00:20:36.069
they are who they are.
370
00:20:37.259 --> 00:20:37.980
Yeah, you might.
371
00:20:38.220 --> 00:20:40.119
And the thing is, yeah, you might drop him and
372
00:20:40.140 --> 00:20:43.079
somebody else may get him. But if you drop him,
373
00:20:43.599 --> 00:20:46.359
he don't go off until week eight and somebody you
374
00:20:46.400 --> 00:20:49.000
got go off the rest of the season. Are you
375
00:20:49.019 --> 00:20:52.240
really crying about that? Especially if it changed the trajectory
376
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:56.319
of your season. You're probably not. So don't get it twisted, bro.
377
00:20:56.339 --> 00:20:59.660
Take your feelings out. Week four, and I don't like
378
00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:02.329
to put numbers on things, but I think after four games,
379
00:21:02.369 --> 00:21:04.990
we know who is who, what they do.
380
00:21:05.670 --> 00:21:06.960
Or what the team trying to do.
381
00:21:08.259 --> 00:21:10.460
And what's crazy is I saw the Cardinals trying to
382
00:21:10.480 --> 00:21:15.339
force some plays for Marv, too. That's the crazy thing. So, hey,
383
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:20.799
I'm just telling you what I see. Make sure y'all
384
00:21:20.839 --> 00:21:23.579
trust that data. It's numbers over narratives. That's a wrap
385
00:21:23.640 --> 00:21:27.099
on the week four recap. Week five preparation. Look, I
386
00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:31.859
gave you top performers, injury recap, hustlers pick up. That's
387
00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:34.880
the waiver-wide scoop. Risk of the benching calls. That's a
388
00:21:34.920 --> 00:21:39.210
start six segment. Start six segment. and then who I'm
389
00:21:39.250 --> 00:21:41.970
