NFL Talk for Week 5

Hello guys. Welcome to NFL Talk for week 5. A few teams remain undefeated and they are very impressive. Can they still do it? We shall see. Thanks for coming on and without further a do, lets get into this. 

Big game picks:

Chargers Saints


That's about it. Not any real big or exciting games in week 5. Moving on.

Fantasy: (By the way, if you haven't picked up James Robinson, you should. Also pick up the Colts defense before anyone realizes.)


Justin Jefferson:

He is a BIG must. A Seahawks secondary that is down 3 starters and probably more. This is going to be a feast for the Vikings WRs. And it's also going to be a feast for Seattle in both the run and pass. So, everyone must get him. This is going to be one of those games where players on both sides have big games.

Kenyan Drake:

They are going against the Jets. This is too easy. BUT, the Cards should be careful after losing to the Panthers. But still, Drake should get started. The Jets probably will try some shenanigans on Kyler Murray if he keep the ball, so they should hand it off.

Darius Slayton:

This is a toss up. I am putting him in because I don't have any other option. But, it is Dallas, However, Danny Dimes has been throwing dimes to the secondary. So, I would be cautious. But, this Dallas secondary seems to be in loading mode while the other receivers go deep. So, I would put him in.

Players to shy away from:

David Montgomery:

This is very sad, but the Bucs defense is too good for the Bears. I could predict Matt Nagy's play calling and could call plays better than him (that is probably an exaggeration, but that's how it felt during the Colts game. If the Colts are bearing down on the run, you run play action. BUT, Coach Nagy decided, " Hmmmmmm, the Colts are bearing down on the run, and the pass lanes could have a chance, so let's run it." Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee). I'm writing this section after the game, and his playcalling gets an A+++ this game. He wasn't trying to force anything. Just taking what is given.

Chargers RBs:

Yes I know Austin Ekeler is out and Mr. Kelly will take over and he has sneaky speed and the power to knock anyone over, but he's not Austin Ekeler. And, this Saints defense is nothing to scoff about even though they have struggled lately (mostly because of that secondary). Also, Justin Jackson could be someone to watch. 

Anyone on the Broncos:

They are going against the greatest minds is football (wouldn't it be cool to meet him and learn his tricks) without their starting QB and about half their defense. Bill Belichick did lose Gilmore for the game, but he turned this guy named Damiere Byrd (who apparently runs a 4.28 40) into a legit deep threat. Before, he was a guy that didn't record above 360 yards receiving, now he is on pace to go for 716 yards. But back to the point, Bill Belichick will be FINE. And the Broncos won't be.


Slumping players that should wake up:

D-Hop: Week 4 stat line- 7 rec 41 yds

They are going against the Jets. 

Ezekiel Elliot: Week 4 stat line-12 att 54 yds

He has been in a slump for 2 weeks now. Part of it can be attributed to the change in system to where they will pass more which isn't his strength. It's making the defense trying to tackle him look like they are holding on to him for dear life instead of trying to flatten him. He will come out on fire because they are playing the Giants. Arguably the 2nd worst team in the NFL.

Darrell Henderson: Week 4 stats line- 8 att 21 yds 1 rec

This was disappointing for fantasy players around the world (probably only the US, but you never know). But, they are going against the WFT. A team whose pass rush is very underrated, but somehow can't seem to defend the run with 5 first rounders on that D-line.


Thanks for reading as always. Every view means so much and thank you. Please follow my blog and have a great day. Thank you some much for reading and see you in the next one.

Why Ledarius Mack is not just Khalil Mack's Little Brother

I've been wanting to do this article for a while now, and I finally did it. I was pretty excited when the Bears signed Ledarius Mack and I went a little deeper to see what he really is. I then found it. Sure, there was plenty of hype surrounding him just because he is Mack's little bro, but he isn't just hype. He is a PLAYER. And, Mack improved greatly from when he was playing at ASA college. But, enough talk. I'll show you some film and talk. Disclaimer: even though I am breaking down DE and off-ball linebacker film, he is probably going an off-ball LB for the Bears. But, he could be used like Belichick will use Josh Uche.  First, we will go with his weaknesses. Every player has their weakness, and that's just part of the game. (Yes, even Patty Mahomes. It's that he is tempted to throw a no-look pass whenever someone is open.) But Mack's weaknesses are not very concerning. They can be be easily fixed with the Bears' coaches. These coaches will teach a l...

Week 7 overview

  The time has come (cue the dramatic music), for Justin Herbert to TORCH the Jags. PICK HIM UP. I am telling you right now. Before the article. I picked him up on his bye week. That's how confident I am in him now. Not 6 weeks ago, but now I am confident he is the next big thing. Notice I didn't say Mahomes or Jackson. He is his own type. Mahomes is his own type, and Jackson is another breed. Herbert plays more traditionally with a pocket-presence like a statue, but with a flair of both Jackson and Mahomes. Anyway, enjoy guys. Big game picks: Eagles: 27 Giants: 23 This is the only interesting one I could find (other than the one below this and the Bears game). Like do we really expect the Broncos to be competitive against the Chiefs? (Maybe, who knows. Vic Fangio didn't get hired for nothing. But anyway, Carson Wentz will somehow burn the Giants because he has..... TRAVIS FULGHAM (I'm really high on him). The Giants did do some good things, but it won't be good eno...

NFL Talk 1

Hello guys, welcome to another post from me. Sorry I haven't been posting lately, but high school grind has already started. So, I may not post every week, but I will try my hardest. Also this one will be a little short because I started this on Friday. I promise the other ones will be better.  Big game picks: Chiefs: 30 Pats: 23 If someone can stop the Ravens run game, they can stop any run game. Yes I know this is Bill Belichick and he's going to try to get creative with the running and most likely put RPOs and a lot of that. But, Tyrann Mathieu is not called the Honey Badger for his liking of honey. He will most likely shut it down. And L'Jarius Snead looks to be a steal. Pair that will a good Chiefs good defensive front, I think Bill Belichick will have some trouble (yes I know he is the GOAT of all coaches). I think the Chiefs are going to burn Gilmore, have Sammy Watkins underneath, or CEH doing to usual juking and insane acceleration (seriously, does that guy not hav...
