Lineup Lock: Daniels’ Fourth-and-2 Throwaway Is a Fantasy Red Flag; Harris Has Four-Carry Frustration Problem

   Lineup Lock feels loud today, Pete says. Frank, you hear it too?

2. Fantasy Frank

   I hear it, Pete. I'm Frank, and I brought a quieter question.

   Perfect. We'll start there and build the case.

   Daniels’ Fourth-and-2 Throwaway Is a Fantasy Red Flag Daniels tossed the ball out of bounds on a fourth-and-2 from the San Francisco 13-yard line, turning the ball over on downs early in the second quarter of a "Monday Night Football" loss. The fantasy move: keep Daniels on the roster, but don't treat him like a locked-in weekly smash. A fourth-and-2 throwaway from the San Francisco 13-yard line is the kind of decision that can wreck a scoring swing fast.

   Harris Has Four-Carry Frustration Problem Harris exhibited frustration toward New York's running-back-by-committee approach after he received only four carries in the defeat to New Orleans this past Sunday. Four carries, one very loud problem. The running-back-by-committee approach is officially doing numbers, and not the fun kind.

   Injuries derail early returns for Seattle's draft class Injuries to top picks like Jadarian Price and Bud Clark have derailed early returns of Seattle's draft class. Seattle's draft class has an early-returns problem Injuries to top picks like Jadarian Price and Bud Clark have derailed early returns of Seattle's draft class. That makes the Seattle's draft class story a matchup-analysis problem before it becomes a fantasy-football roster win. Top picks are already dealing with injuries, so the early returns aren't clean. The broader first-round picture is mixed. Multiple first-round picks helped the Chiefs, Eagles and Seahawks win Super Bowls, but the Jets and Browns know the other side of the story.

7. Fantasy Frank

   Fantasy angle: Don't treat Seattle's draft class as a clean early return while injuries to top picks like Jadarian Price and Bud Clark have derailed the early returns.

   Jayden Daniels Managers Should Watch the Situation Management Washington may have turned some sort of corner, or Purdue may be that bad, while Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels seemed lost during a key situation for a second straight week. The Bears' T.J. Edwards and Kyle Monangai, plus the Patriots' A.J. Brown and Drake Maye, were listed on Monday's estimated practice report. Washington may have turned some sort of corner, or Purdue may be that bad. That isn't exactly a clean breakout signal for fantasy managers. The bigger Jayden Daniels concern is game situation management.

10. Podcaster Pete

    For a second straight week, Dan Quinn and Jayden Daniels seemed lost during a key situation. Daniels managers should keep the ceiling in play, but the decision-making needs watching. The practice-report watch also includes the Bears' T.J. Brown and Drake Maye. Track those names before locking fantasy lineups.

    Christian Kirk is out for Monday Night Football after 49ers downgrade him from questionable The 49ers downgraded wide receiver Christian Kirk from questionable to out, confirming he won't play in Monday Night Football. Christian Kirk is out for Monday Night Football after the 49ers downgraded the wide receiver from questionable to out. That removes Kirk from the Monday night lineup and leaves fantasy managers with a late decision. The matchup angle is simple: Kirk won't play, so fantasy managers need another active option before kickoff. Don't wait on a questionable tag that has already become an out designation.
