Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ladies and gentlemen.

Speaker 2 (00:01):
You want experience during your football season, Well, buckle up.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
Sweet cheeks.

Speaker 2 (00:08):
We've got all the experience in the world. This is
I Want Your Flex with Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.
Mike and Dan break down everything you need to set
your lineups, from position rankings.

Speaker 3 (00:22):
To starts and sits.

Speaker 2 (00:24):
The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now
let's get your flex onde. Here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

Speaker 4 (00:34):
Mike Harmon is not pool side, he is joining us
here on Fox Sports Radio. Happy Thanksgiving, Mike, how are you?

Speaker 3 (00:41):
What's going on? Boys? We got the kids drop. I
look like Charlie Brown, so she was trolling me with
the music. So I mean it all comes together. I
pulled myself away from a hot stove after Gronk spiking
my oven knit with the beautiful Prime rib Roach just
coming out. The girls are gluttonizing and well I'm spending
Thankski you talking to you. Happy Thanksgiving fellas.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
I appreciate that. And so for those that don't know
Mike myself, Ryan Berschinger do the I Want Your Flex podcast.
Aaron's coming along for the ride. We didn't do a
podcast today, but we're gonna develop your your rankings. You're
gonna well, heck you developed them. Who am I kidding?
It's not a wee thing. It's a Mike Harmon thing.
Mike ranks players in his top five quarterback, running back,

(01:23):
and wide receiver positions every week on I Want Your Flex,
and it's part of our podcast, and these will be
up on our podcast that will be posted tomorrow. So
you're getting a live look, Aaron at the method behind
the madness of what is going on with I Want
Your Flex.

Speaker 3 (01:38):
So well, Aaron and Lorena and Monti are going to
be claiming royalties off this one because you know it's
part of a larger show.

Speaker 4 (01:45):
We're just a live studio audience.

Speaker 3 (01:47):
Baby, No, I appreciate that. No, it's good, Loda throw stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:50):
Lorena tried to do tried to exclude me from game
time earlier, so you tried to kick me out. All right,
here's the deal. We give Mike car in the floor.
He is going to give us his top five quarterbacks
for Week twelve of the NFL season. Mike Harmon, take
it away.

Speaker 3 (02:08):
Let's get it on. We start with Lamar Jackson in
a beautiful Sunday night affair here in Los Angeles at
so far to see if he can make Brandon Staley cry.
He's whined a lot, he's postured, he's blamed everybody else.
Now it's time for Lamar and that offense to really
make him weep out loud. No Joey Bosa to chase
Lamar around either. Patrick Mahomes against Las Vegas top fifteen

(02:32):
all but three times this year. You've got the Raiders
being the twelfth best against quarterbacks, but historically Mahomes Kelsey
have feasted in these matchups. I expect more of the
same as they get together fields. On Monday night against Minnesota,
he was eighth amongst quarterbacks in his return to the field.
You know what, if they'd actually called the play instead

(02:53):
of a half back dive into the back of your
offensive lineman, might have been a little bit better. The
Vikings toward the back half of the defenses against quarterbacks
Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen, they rounded out at four
and five, respectively. Buffalo fifth best against quarterbacks, but you know,
Jalen Hurts with his legs makes things a little bit
differently different. And on the other side, you got Philadelphia

(03:16):
third worst against quarterbacks.

Speaker 4 (03:18):
I also think that Buffalo probably has this chip on
their shoulder to make it work, you know now with
Ken Dorsey out there, and I know that they were
playing at depleted Jets offense last week, but that defense
was still the defense and the Bills came out.

Speaker 3 (03:32):
Firing highest over under of the week at forty eight
to a half.

Speaker 4 (03:35):
All right, so there's a taste of the quarterbacks. Yeah,
this is this is what we do, Aeron Torres. This
is the Friday episode. If I want your flex and
we're giving it to you on a Thursday. Ryan Berschinger
is our executive producer.

Speaker 1 (03:45):
That's right, And I just want to just we got
to give Harmon credit here because as I mentioned last
week on the pod, and people need to be aware,
Harmon is one of the best in the nation at
ranking quarterbacks. He has been in the top ten on
Fantasy Pros and Expert Accuracy on quarterback rankings throughout the season.
He was as high as four last season. So he's
doing a fantastic job. You're getting top quality stuff here

(04:07):
from Mike garment Tour.

Speaker 3 (04:08):
That's fantastic stuff. I'm not even there to give him food.

Speaker 4 (04:11):
Tores, are you sick of us nerds yet talking about
fantasy football this month? Or are you still good as
I'm digging it. Let's get to the top five running backs.
Then of a week twelve in the National Football League season, give.

Speaker 3 (04:22):
Me a little bit of Travis Etn. He is your
MVP of the Jacksonville Jaguars. I know Trevor Lawrence went
off last week, but at all predicate is predicated on
Etn having himself an opportunity. We've seen some big performances
throughout the year. Houston on the lower half of teams
against running backs. Alvin Kamara against Atlanta. This one we
go a little bit against the historical rankings. Why because

(04:45):
hot route. Yes, we will all watch wedding crashers way
too many time in drunken stoopers. We'll do it again
here is Kamara sees eight to twelve targets. Just get
the ball out quickly, keep Derek Carr upright, Sakuon Barkley
for his receiving acumen. Also against New England, I just
wrote down mid I've been listening to my daughter's talk.
I think a little bit too much for top fifteen's

(05:09):
his last five. Let's get another one in here. Then
we got DeAndre Swift. I almost said Taylor against Buffalo
with their twentieth in Fantasy points per game allowed to
running back. Swift was eighth last week and he's been
in the top fifteen to seven of his ten games
this year. And then Jonathan Taylor. Yeah, welcome back to
the top five, if only for a moment. You're looking

(05:31):
at two top tens in his last four games, including
one effort against that vaunted Cleveland defense. So let's go
Jonathan Taylor.

Speaker 4 (05:40):
Are you sure you don't want to change him around
so you could have Taylor Swift in your rankings?

Speaker 3 (05:44):
I debated it.

Speaker 4 (05:44):
Yeah, yeah, you can have Jonathan Taylor four and Taylor
Swift five.

Speaker 3 (05:47):
I thought I was getting a little too cute and
showing my swifteism a little too much.

Speaker 4 (05:52):
That's all right. You know, here we are Jonathan Taylor
making an appearance. The Colts and Buccaneers actually could be
a very intriguing game.

Speaker 3 (06:02):
Oh I love it. Yeah, they fill up the rankings
and the lists.

Speaker 4 (06:06):
Here today we'll see how they play without Darius Leonard.
All right, we're gonna get Mike's top five wide receivers
that we're going to take a time out with Manci.
She's gonna get us caught up to date what's happening
with Commanders and cowboys and everything else. And then on
the other side of that, Harmon's going to stick around,
give us his hot plays cold Soores, don't worry Aaron,
It's not as gross as it sounds. And Ninja's for
Week twelve. Let's get it though, to the pass catchers.

(06:28):
Mike Harmon's top five wide receivers for Week twelve in
the NFL.

Speaker 3 (06:32):
Tyreek Hill off the top second last week amongst wide
receivers against Las Vegas, top six and seven of ten. Hell,
he even left that game with an injury and still
finished as well as he did. And the Jets defense,
Let's face it, no bueno anymore to steal from Monci
belind us. How about Nikua going up against Arizona. He
was thirteenth last week. They've given up the thirteenth most

(06:53):
Fantasy points per game to wide receivers. He's got six
appearances at eleventh or better this year. Welcome back, Matthew
Stafford number three. Michael Pittman Junior going up against Tampa
Bay four or five. He's been in the top twenty
three straight with eight receptions. That's the thing. I'm looking
at opportunity here, and they've given up the fourth most

(07:15):
points to wide receivers. We've got Stefan Diggs back to
back outside the top fifty. So you know, he's been
a little vocal. Maybe his brother. I haven't checked his
brother's social media's in a while. But here's an opportunity.
We've seen generosity as I talked about with Josh Allen
before from the Philly pass defense and then Mike Evans,

(07:35):
welcome back, my friend, welcome back. Another opportunity here against
the Indianapolis secondary. We just need him to find the
end zone, post up, make some plays there.

Speaker 4 (07:46):
It is Colts Buccaneers game again, you know, grabbing some
attention for us. Two of the top five wideouts in
that game. And by the way, should be noted Ryan
Berschinger in our Fox Sports Radio Guillotine League was able
to secure Michael Hitman this week.

Speaker 5 (08:01):
Yes, and Pooka and Pooka and Nakula. I didn't bid
on pook and A Coula. I did bid on Michael
Pittman JUNR. So he outbid me in that one. All right, there,
it is your top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide
receivers from Mike Harmon. I want your Flex podcast. Download
it wherever you get your podcasts. All right now, Aaron,
you want to know what we do with Harmon?

Speaker 4 (08:21):
Oh, we go outside of the top five rankings. These
are the players that may not make Mike's top five.
It may not be guys that you think you should play,
but you actually should this week. That's what we've got here.
They are Mike Harmon's hot plays for week twelve.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
Let's go Josh Dobbs, Monday Night Football, Monday Night Football,
Bears and Vikings creating fantasy.

Speaker 4 (08:42):
And Josh Dobbs.

Speaker 3 (08:44):
Yeah yeah, Josh Dobbs getting it done. And why does
he get it done? Because he's given you forty rushing
yards every week and as long as he holds onto
the ball, you won't lose the minus two although that
was a helmet to helmet anyway. Eleventh most fantasy points
allowed to quarterbacks from the defense. Especially when Jalen Johnson
doesn't want to catch a ball and return at ninety

(09:04):
three yards for a touchdown, you get another crack at
the end zone and Dobbs will be able to do
that again. Kyler Murray going up against the Rams. He
was doing quite well in his return. Thirteenth and sixth
is where he ranked the last couple of weeks. You've
got some opportunity here with Kyler Murray again. Put him
on turbo blast. Derek Henry going up against Carolina's second

(09:26):
worst defense against running backs. Derrick Henry's death long, wrong
and exaggerated. Rashad White against Indianapolis. Four straight top fifteen
performances for him, and they're the fourth worst fantasy defense
against running backs. DJ Moore going back to that Monday
nighter welcome back. He had a big effort for justin

(09:50):
fields after being outside of the top twenty five in
five straight games. Yeah, that's how bad it got. Add
a feeling another one. We're looking for a bounce back
against Tennessee to break a month skid from him four
straight at twenty fourth or worse. But an opportunity against
the Tennessee secondary. And then because we have to make
more jokes at the Chargers expense, fire up Gus the bus.

(10:11):
It doesn't look great on paper again their history because
they've been getting crushed in the passing game. But we
know Baltimore, you lean back in, especially in the post
Mark Andrews world. Expect more of that running game and
leaning and crushing the souls of your foe.

Speaker 4 (10:27):
Those are the Mike Carmon's hot plays for Week twelve
in the NFL. Now it's time for the cold sores.
These are the ones that you want to get away from,
don't want to look at, don't want to touch, you,
don't want anything to do with. Guys you shouldn't put
in your lineup for Week twelve, Harmon, take it away.

Speaker 3 (10:39):
Well, rare spot for Justin Herbert. We're going big game
hunting right off the jump against Baltimore on that Sunday
night affair. It's a home date, so we always know
that plays a little oddly. But they're the second best
against quarterbacks, giving up just twelve points six fantasy points
per game Black Friday game while they sell you toasters,
blenders and whatever else. Other mits to a tongue of

(10:59):
island back to back outside the top ten, and look,
I think there's still an opportunity. You're probably still gonna
play him as a back end one. I have him
as a high end two this week, so just outside
and we've loved the redemptive story that is happening in Denver.
I want no part of Russell Wilson this week going
up against the Cleveland defense. No thank you. Even in

(11:20):
this rise, he's still on the periphery of high end
QB two here. It's not like he's lighting it up.
Joe Mixon of your Bengals going upgainst Pittsburgh their twelfth
best against the run, and again you got Browning under center.
So this is where you're hoping a lot of dump
offs to mix and to give him some fantasy value.
Devin Singletary. Everybody's excited, and perhaps deservedly so, but I

(11:45):
think the rush to get him into the lineup is
met with a little bit of resistance. This week, going
up against Jacksonville, I get Hollywood brown In just rolling
the dice. Last top twenty performance came well long long
time ago. Starts singing the day of the music died.
While you're at it, see what I did to you there?
You can now kill fifteen minutes of your Thanksgiving cooking.

(12:07):
Christian Kirk, I want no part of him. It's a
long time ago since he was fantasy relevant. Maybe Calvin
Ridley's re emergence is going to help I say not
so fast. You're looking at a guy who disappeared, no
question about it. And then DeVante Adams, they'll work to
get him the ball quickly. Again. I just love the
Kansas City defense and I think they come to play
after what was a gut wrenching loss against Philly.

Speaker 4 (12:30):
There they were your cold source from Mike Carmon for
Week twelve of the Fantasy football season. We do need
to take a time out, and Mike's got some prime
rib that he's got to attest team. Mike Harmon is
hanging on us. While you hear Mike weeknights on The
Jason Smith Show with Mike Carmon ten o'clock Eastern, seven Pacific,
you also hear Mike on the I Want Your Flex
Podcast with myself and Ryan Berschinger's our executive producer not

(12:54):
only of today's show but also of the podcast. Harmon's
hanging out giving all the information you need for Week twelve,
and he's got just a little bit more. Eric's gonna
squeeze a little bit more of this out of this
Harmon Orange right now because we have something that we
call our ninja plays. Do you know what our ninja
plays are or fantasy football do I yes.

Speaker 3 (13:15):
I feel like I should be able to take an
educated guess, But I really don't think that it actually.

Speaker 4 (13:19):
Predates Mike and I doing a show together because he
used to. Was this one you were with Lundion Burns?
Did you guys do the Ninjas?

Speaker 3 (13:27):
Yeah, that's it. We decided we hated the term sleepers
because it became just a rolling moniker for pretty much
anybody that wasn't top ten. I didn't like the way
it was applied, so we dig a little deeper, you know,
to steal from the princess and the frog.

Speaker 4 (13:43):
So these are Mike Harmon's Ninjas for Week twelve of
the National Football League.

Speaker 3 (13:47):
Well, we've talked about the matchup a lot. Let's get
the quarterbacks in there and Gardner, Minshew and Baker Mayfield
going against Jevia, Tampa and Indie opportunities here against those
respective secondaries. I've got the opportunity here for Kenny Pickett.
This is it can't Cincinnati ninth most generous to fantasy
quarterbacks this year? Maybe a little bit of a boost.
I mean they're certainly not devoid of talent at the

(14:10):
wide receiver. Now with friar Mouth back at the tight
end position for sure, and that dual running game. Kyn Williams, Hey,
he's back guys against Arizona. Four top seven performances before
his injury. Arizona ranks third most generous. Yes, they will
part the Red Sea for you if you are running back.
Ramadre Stevenson. Folks don't like him. I do, especially because

(14:33):
he's catching the ball out of the backfield. Two top
ten appearances for him his last five, So looking for
an opportunity. Garrett Wilson, he did all the right things, boy,
I tell you. Boil is so efficient and throws a
great ball. He'll get fed just for well kissing that
guy's ass. And then to Mario Douglas going back to
New England. He scored three of his four games before
the bye week. Let's make it another one as they

(14:55):
go against the Giants.

Speaker 4 (14:57):
A reason to watch that game exactly. There are a
couple of those games this week. You gotta find a reason.
You mentioned Derrick Henry and the Titans going up against
the Panthers. Same thing. Those are the Ninjas for Week twelve.
Mike Harmon, great job, have a great rest of your Thanksgiving.
Can't wait to hear you, You and Jason and can't

(15:17):
wait till we team up again and do another edition.
Well Burschinger's in the Philippines, it's you and me for
the next two weeks.

Speaker 3 (15:23):
Peace of love. I can't wait to hear how he
connects from there.

Speaker 4 (15:25):
Hit him up on Twitter formerly known as twitter x
dot com at Swellen Dome. Happy Thanksgiving, Back

Speaker 3 (15:31):
Thanks, Happy, Thanks you guys, thank you everybody.
