Week 6 Rapid Reaction & Biggest Takeaways!

SPEAKER_1 (0:00)

We all know Saturday's game time can get a little messy. Your crew came over to watch, snacks on the table, drinks in hand, and somebody's celebrating like they just won the whole season and beyond. And when that energy gets going, your walls can end up taking the hit. Whether it's a big spill or a noticeable scuff, that's where bare, ultra-interior paint comes in.

It adds an extra durable stain blocking finish that helps your walls hold up for the whole season. It also delivers outstanding coverage and hide and fewer coats of easy application and a smooth, even finish that goes on clean from the first pass. Plus, that easy, clean finish helps walls stay looking new longer. So before the next kickoff, give your space game-ready defense and coverage that goes the distance. Bare Ultra, only at the Home Depot.

What's up, friends? Welcome into Fantasy Focus Monday morning, Rapid Reaction alongside Eric Moody this week. My name is Daniel Dopp. We gave Liz a little bit of a break after flying into Bristol, and we thought, why not let Eric hang out on a Sunday night? Eric, it's good to see you, brother. How are you doing?

Eric Moody (1:15)

No, things are great. Good to chat with you as well.

We had a fascinating week six. We had some winners, we had some losers. I know some players have definitely hurt my fantasy team, so I'm good.

Daniel Dopp (1:28)

A lot of tough ones this week. Just to pull back the curtain for all of those that are listening for the first time, Eric and I are recording this late on Sunday night, right before Sunday night football. So a rapid reaction to all of the things that have happened. Make sure you still hang out with us for the normal podcast at 10 a.m. Eastern. Field, Mike and I will be there for that. Well, with that being said, Eric, what the fantasy happened in New York this week?

SPEAKER_4 (1:51)

Boy, that escalated quickly.

Daniel Dopp (1:54)

I mean, that really got out of hand fast.

Eric Moody (1:58)

I like that. You know what? Malik Neighbors was a guy that really heated up, which I love to see. I'm at what? 12 catches for 165 yards, 28.5 fantasy points.

And I find it funny, Dopp, because this is someone during the summer that we were talking about as a guy. It's like, should we draft Malik Neighbors or should we not? Is he going to be healthy? But things are heating up right now. And he's topped 100 receiving yards in three straight games. He's joined elite company in giant history. Odell Beckham Jr. is the only Giants player with at least 10 receptions in consecutive games. I will kind of leave you with this. I want to hear what you had to say about this, but I'm looking at Neighbors as someone who's obviously a must start every week, but I'm looking at that schedule. You know, Mike Clay has got that great strength schedule matrix and I'm looking at Neighbors. You know, in that Giants team, they have the easiest remaining schedule like for wide receivers. And so I'm excited to see what damage he can do and win some matchups for managers.

Daniel Dopp (2:52)

Heck yeah, we'll see how this entire situations with the quarterback kind of plays out. We saw a lot of JJ McCarthy as James Winston got pulled in this one, but Neighbors 35 targets over the last two weeks. Unbelievable. I would have done anything to have that kind of an outing from Cam Scadaboo. Cam Scadaboo had, check this out, zero carries and zero receptions in this game. Eric, he played six snaps. He didn't have six carries. He didn't run six routes. He played six snaps in the entire game. Basically a foregone conclusion. He was not even a part of this offense whatsoever.

Huge question mark right now. Heading into week seven when they take on the Houston Texans with the way they utilize every other running back in that backfield. But if you are a Cam Scadaboo manager, you are left feeling awful in week six after getting that kind of fantasy output.

Eric Moody (3:44)

No, very true. And the thing about Cam Scadaboo, like all season, we know he's been inefficient when you look at rushing yards per carry. Then week after week, we keep seeing Tyrone Tracy Jr. Nodgy hairs, siphoning away touches. And you felt like, wow, if I've got Cam Scadaboo, he needs to score a touchdown for him to bring value to my lineup. And so we saw with the fumble last week, just the fumbling issues on the season, and they made him pay for this. And so I did see before we recorded like a clip of him kind of explaining what happened, you could see it on his face. He didn't have the swagger. He's like, I messed up. These are the consequences. But that leaves Fantasy Manager in a bind, because we're wondering, am I going to be confident enough to plug in Cam Scadaboo as my RB2 in Fantasy? I'm not too thrilled about it. I don't know how you feel, but I am worried moving forward after we saw what happened.
