00:00um kareem hunt kansas city against houston or zonovan knight arizona against los angeles

00:06starts it why yeah look this is a tricky one here because i don't love either of these scenarios

00:12zonovan knight sometimes gets phased out a little bit in the games where they're playing from behind

00:16they're playing the rams this week so it could be a game where they're playing from behind

00:19and on the flip side you got the houston texans defense who's riding high and you know what's

00:23hilarious to me matt is everybody continues to talk about oh there's another you know must-have

00:29game here for the chiefs is they're trying to make that playoff push what about the texans

00:32what about the texans who have a better record just about the colts nobody's talking about

00:36the houston texans that defense has played great stroud is back i don't understand am i missing

00:41something here and the texans always play the chiefs tough always you know you go back to

00:46that playoff game in january right like they they were in that game they had it and then

00:50injuries struck and unfortunately things kind of fell apart there for the houston texans at

00:54the end of it but this whole narrative like it's all about the chiefs and not about the

00:57texans in that game i think is the wrong way to look at i'm taking the texan side of that game

01:01again just like i took the texans last week we're just gonna be rolling that so with these guys i

01:06would say kareem hunt has better touchdown equity in this contest so if you're playing in a standard

01:11league or even a half i might lean towards him but i think zonovan knight has more upside where

01:16i think that cardinals offense with brissette has shown you enough that they can keep pace with the

01:21rams and they kind of want to they don't mind jacoby brissette throwing the ball 40 times like it's

01:26it's fine so we're just going to keep pushing in which case then bam knight is going to be on the

01:30field a lot at some point too so i think the total could be a little higher in that game also so

01:35again it is really tricky if i'm just touchdown hunting hunt probably has more touchdown equity

01:41especially with pacheca going away but i think overall in the ppr leagues especially too not that

01:46zonovan is a prolific ppr guy but i think that zonovan knight will continue to get the bulk of the

01:53carries regardless here uh but it is very tricky like he did he has been averaging about four and a

01:58half targets a game that's good enough here in the ppr for zonovan knight for me so i'll again it's

02:04very contextual in terms of what you're playing in in terms of league format all right thank you for

02:09the approach all right now uh the chatter on social media is still about this houston at kansas city game

02:14jayden higgins or darnell mooney in um drake london stead versus seattle yeah look it's also kirk

02:24cousins too at the end of the day at this stage of his career which is a little tricky so i think a

02:28lot of that has to do with it like jayden higgins has done well uh kansas city is is no joke right

02:33you're going against a very good defense of kansas city chiefs or at least the remnants of it uh last

02:38week though five or five uh for jayden higgins didn't have the touchdown had the touchdown the

02:43week before so the question is you know does he have the same rapport with cj stroud as he did with

02:50you know uh mills under center and that i think is the question everybody really has now it was good

02:55because we got 11 points from jayden higgins but we didn't get that touchdown is that touchdown equity

03:00available in this game i think it is i think if you're the chiefs you're trying your best to stop

03:05uh everything nico collins way and make him beat you with somebody else and i think as time has gone

03:10on here the rookie jayden higgins is starting to get a little bit more confidence from the offensive

03:14coordinator and from the quarterbacks and everybody else he's a very good talent right he was a talent

03:19that i know i was very excited when he came into the nfl and i thought he would be very good and i

03:22think he's almost like a nico collins light and i think next year you might see him you know in a

03:27whole different role but i will take higgins here playing with stroud over cousins at home against

03:31that seahawks defense that seahawks defense is really brutal and i just don't have any faith

03:35and kirk cousins at this point so although mooney you would suggest like oh well he'll get more

03:39volume i just don't know what it's going to look like and i'll take my shot here with jayden higgins

03:44let's take the kid instead in a game that matters all right continuing to take your start sick

03:49questions talking to joe pisa pia the author of the fantasy black book joe still some chatter here at

03:55sports grid at sports grid tv about this houston to kansas city game an option comes up for dalton

04:00schultz or a ron day gadsden that's the chargers and they have philadelphia which way would you lean

04:05well look the frustrating thing is dalton schultz only has one touchdown all year right so that sucks

04:10but the other frustrating thing is monday night waiting for justin herbert and his health to clear

04:16itself up or to really see what it looks like or how they change this offense though it's not his

04:21throwing hand that's the good thing but again you know there's a lot of situations here where

04:24this could go poorly for the chargers there's also that hero scenario where all the hurt guy goes out

04:30there with the thing on his hand and he has the game of his life sure that happens too i just don't

04:35want to put my fantasy shares into that narrative so i'm going to just play dalton schultz today hope

04:40he gets some volume hope he can catch four or five balls get me uh in there and if he gets a touchdown

04:45that's just gravy i like gadsden as a player it's been a little bit more inconsistent of late and again

04:50with the martin hampton coming back too i think that might change a little bit of how the offense

04:53operates with the two backs that he can count on so you might see some more intermediate targets

04:57going to guys like omari and hampton as opposed to gadsden
