It is noon on YouTube, but of course, that means it's 5 o'clock somewhere. Brothers and sisters, friends of the revolution, welcome to another edition of Fantasy Football Happy Hour. The bar is officially open. I, of course, am Matthew Berry, your friendly neighborhood bartender, here to help you make sense of Thursday Night Football, break down all the injuries we care about. The great star, Stephania Bell, off of a boondoggle and ready to help us figure out all the injuries, Zay, Ladd, all of that. Dan Graziano is coming up a little bit later as well. I see Stephania already has been popped up on the screen. Amazing. All right, Stephania, just gonna talk real quickly about Thursday Night Football here before we get to all the injuries with you that we need to get to.

But what I want to say here, and now she went away. All right, we got a lot going on. All right, so last night, Thursday Night Football, I don't know that there's a ton to say. Proud Fantasy Life investor Josh Allen, our Lord and Savior, amazing once again. You know, I don't know what you can say here. He drinks for free, by the way, at the Happy Hour Bar. Honestly, any bar he walks into, Josh Allen drinks for free. But today, especially after just an absolutely monster game, 148 passing yards, three touchdowns, 69

I said 69 69 rushing yards for Josh Allen, two touchdowns, over 40 fantasy points. He is the man. For all of us that said you should wait on quarterback, and you should, the fact is Josh Allen still makes a difference, even if you take him early as well. My big takeaways from last night, just very quickly, is number one is the Dalton Kincaid breakout that we've talked about after last week. Dalton Kincaid on the preseason love list, on last week's love list, on this week's love list. I'm telling you, I mean, my best bet from yesterday was Dalton Kincaid over on the receptions, that cash, over on the receiving yards, that cash. It was three and a half when it opened, it ended up closing at over four and a half plus money, that cashed. This is legitimate. Dalton Kincaid, this is absolutely legitimate. DJ Moore leaves with a shoulder injury, he's day to day. We're all day to day, as the great Dan Patrick used to say.

We'll see. He's got ten days to recover. I'm going to get Stephanie in here, she can weigh in on that real quickly. But again, we don't know a lot, we saw him leave.

He's got ten days to recover. We'll talk about this more on next week's WaiverWire show, if we know for a fact that DJ Moore is going to miss. I will say that just quickly, if he misses, I don't feel, you'll see Duncan Cade, but I think it'll be, you know, some Keon Coleman, some Josh Palmer, some, you know, maybe some Dawson Knox and Khalil Shakir, of course, I just don't know that there's going to be one guy that will step up in a way that like DJ Moore did, it's kind of a one for one replacement. I think they just sort of spread it around. So I don't know that there's anyone that you can sort of get to here. Jameson Williams, two for 33, 10% target share, through two weeks. He's averaging under seven fantasy points per game, 13 pay night, total fantasy points.

As Cobra Kiger congratulates me, best bet cash, I rode with you Mr. Berry, let's get that money, indeed, Cobra Kiger. And thank you for calling me Mr. Berry, I appreciate the respect. So here's the thing, Jameson Williams again, two for 33, 10% target share, under 14 total fantasy points through two weeks. This is the Jameson Williams experience. Like again, he's gonna be up and down. And what I would say with Jameson Williams, I know people are very frustrated after two weeks, you have to keep starting him, or you have to bail on him completely.

Barring an injury to like, I'm on Ross St. Brown or Gibbs or something like that, Barring an injury, like, there's gonna be up weeks, there's gonna be big spike weeks for Jameson Williams, and then there's gonna be games like we've had the last two weeks. Remember, he started slow last year as well. This is the Jameson Williams experience. The problem is, is that they have Jamiro Gibbs, they have him on Ross St. Brown. You know, they, and then they've got, you know, Laporta and Isaac Tesla and the other, like there's just a lot of mouths to feed on and that there's gonna be weeks where the ball just doesn't find Jameson Williams. So if you ended up going in on Jameson Williams, I think you just have to stick with him and it is what it is, or you have to bail completely because you'll never be able to guess when he ends up showing up. But I think to me, my favorite part of last night was the fact that Jared Goff has a monster game, Amon Ross St. Brown, monster game. And the reason I like those two players specifically is because I have them in my 12 team dynasty league, which is comprised of me and all my former ESPN friends. It's a dynasty league, you know, and Field Yates and Mike Clay, Daniel Dopp, they're all in it. Producer Damien is in it.
