10/10/26 - Week 5 Fantasy Football Start/Sit Advice | Quinshon Judkins & Injury Replacements

Josh (0:01)

Welcome, everybody. We're kicking off week five. We got a surprise upset on Thursday night. Your favorite player probably sucked. Maybe they got hurt, or they just completely underperformed. And then when I go through and I read my injury list, and you see the laundry list of names that are out this week, you're probably going to need a few replacements, which has kind of been the theme of every single Start Sit show we have done this season. It's kind of where we named this show, Start Sit Different Day, because really it's the same shit, different day, every single time. We're going to get into it. We're talking all of your fantasy football start sit questions as we head into week five. Let's get ready and bring those questions into the chat, folks.

And yes, as I said in the intro, it really is same shit, different day, because Joel, we've done this show now. This will be week five.

This laundry list of injuries just keeps growing and growing and growing. And now we have bi-weeks to deal with. Can fantasy managers catch a frickin break?

It's like somebody comes back and somebody just immediately goes on the IR. You know, we get Nico Collins back last week and now Saquon Barkley's heard.

I mean, at a certain point, I'm just going to start asking for the zombie corpses of Jerry Rice and Randy Moss at this point. Like, I feel like that would just be better than starting some waiver wire fodder that should never even be considered even in like dynasty leagues.

Joel (2:00)

But zombies keep going, they lose a body part, right?

Josh (2:03)

That's just the name of the game that we love and play and torture ourselves with, because God only knows our favorite football teams don't torture us enough. I'm Josh. He's Joel. We're answering every single one of your start sit questions for week five. And remember, we have a London game again this week. My Eagles are probably going to get waxed by the Jaguars. But every single time I look at that spread, it keeps going up and up and up in favor of the Jaguars. And I just really want to smash the Eagles like plus whatever number it is, because everybody's on board with the Jaguars. And I just feel like betting on my team is just wasted money at this point. So I'm probably gonna have to have an intervention in our Discord and have people talk me out of it. So there's that. But once again, friendly reminder, like this video if you're watching us over on YouTube, please subscribe to our YouTube channel, wherever we're growing. We're over 3,100 subscribers, which has been fantastic. I love chopping it up with all of you in our chat. And we also have a 100% free Discord. We're pretty active in there. We talk all the time.

You can drop your start sit questions. We have betting advice, de-infest advice. We talk through a lot of stuff and it's a lot of fun. We can give you guys a little bit more in-depth analysis, so to speak, versus what we are able to do on these streams every week. But for some of you that maybe just want to get your questions answered right off the rip, we do have Super Chat available on YouTube. So feel free to use that. Throw us a couple bucks. As my co-host on NPI likes to joke, Ryan, we are whores for money around here and we're not afraid to admit it. So feel free to use that. We're gonna have a couple of our favorite starts throughout the week, but this show runs on your questions. So drop them in the chat. We will be more than happy to get to them. But Joel, we gotta knock out this injury list because this is fricking ridiculous this week.

Let's go through and start with the outs because some of these, you know, kind of expected.

Brice Hall, Ed and I Mitchell, both out for the Jets, which is a fun, interesting matchup against Cleveland. Stefan Diggs, Marcus Mariota, both out for the Commanders. I wanted to list this one because I feel like it's interesting in that Las Vegas Patriots game. Both of the Patriots starting corners, Christian Gonzalez and Carlton Davis are both out this week. So if you have Brock Bowers and if you're considering paying up for him in DFS, the answer is yes, do it.

Mack Hollins for the Patriots also out this week. Lamar Jackson ruled out, Kyle Menungai for the Bears ruled out, Chris Brooks, the nominal third down back for the Packers ruled out. Pat Bryant was ruled out with an ankle injury. Also recently placed on IR, I believe it was Friday. So he'll miss at least the next four weeks. Saquon Barkley, DeVonta Smith both ruled out for the Eagles as well as the wide receiver three who I don't think has even stepped on the field so far this season. Hollywood Brown also out. Quinton Johnston for the Chargers. Brennan Thompson also for the Chargers. That wide receiver room is pretty barren at this point.
