Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Today it's a Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy Football Podcast.
I'm Patrick Claibon and I'll be joined by Marcus Grant
and Adam Rank. Coming up today, our predictions for a
week eleven's top performers and the best stacks you can
put in your DFS lineup. Plus Adam Rant tells us
which players you need to chill about, and Marcus separates
reality from fantasy mirage. That's all today on the NFL
Fantasy Football Podcast. Everybody, Welcome to NFL Fantasy Love. Patrick
(00:35):
Klaibon here with Adam Rank and Marcus Grants, who were
the pillars on which this program was founded.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Here on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Happy Veterans Day to everybody out there, and we get
a chance to kick it off wrapping up a Monday
night football game where we didn't have a lot of points, right,
but we got some fantasy points to tell everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
About, did we.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Who everybody was upset that they missed that Thursday night game,
Well this sea well on Monday night just as good.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It was great that we got to book end the
week with ten to seven games that were equally hmm,
sleep inducing that's maybe the most polite way I think
I can.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Those put those two games.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They were great, Which is, while we're going to recut
the Monday nighter right here, the one packer we actually
projected was the one that scored Marcus.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, Josh Jacobs, who has been really truly an elite
level fantasy running back this season. The floor has been
twelve points for him this year. You see that there,
the nineteen point seven fantasy points.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He's had at.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Least one touchdown in eight of Green Bay's nine games
this year, eleven total for the season.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Definitely helps that. His coach always wants to.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Establish the run, even in times when maybe they should
just think about throwing the ball on first down. But
for us greedy fantasy folks, we'll take it as long
as you can getting the ball at number eight, everything's
going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, that was close to the projection I had. And
then everything else not so much, including what happened with
Jordan Love. We're at a season low seven point eighty
four fantasy points the quarterback two on the week, if
you're the ten fantasy points in back to back games,
and Patrick and I, you and I talked about this
before the game. I know that the Packers love two things,
(02:10):
winning meaningless games in December, I guess they're not meaningless.
That was you, but also at some point enough like
get a number one wide receiver. It's it's Ben Leo.
You tried it, you tried to make do with it.
But you need that headliner. You need the main eventor
you need somebody that you can count on when you're
sitting there down by three in the final moments. You
(02:33):
don't have a Caleb Williams type quarterback who's going to
bail you out regardless of who's on the field. You
need that superstar wide receiver to get Jordan Love some help.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, it's emblematic because over on the other side, DeVonta
Smith got sixteen point nine Fantasy points if you adjust
for if you give it like a rock fight adjustment,
it felt like more and you can see it like
a top line receiver making big plays in the game
like this one on the touchdown catch. You had fourteen
points in three straight games. Deep ball kind of eliminated
some concerns with the Packers did score after that in
(03:04):
the Eagles pass game. If you have concerns about it,
they're not going to play at Green Bay on the
road in the cold wind every single week.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I think they'll be just fun. Yeah, And I think
that's sort.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Of the thing you have to take away from Jalen
Hurts last night, because obviously was not.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
A great game. It was not a great fantasy game.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The twelve points there his second worst fantasy game of
the season, and sure the weather has something to.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Do with that. The Packers defense had something to do
with it. Also, the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
About the Eagles is that they seem to throw the
ball kind of on an as needed basis, which makes
it hard to kind of predict what they're going to
do through the air week to week. One thing about
this though, by the way, Jalen Hurts has just one
rushing touchdown since Week three. So for all the people
and I was probably among them saying that, hey, it's
the twitch push that really makes him a viable fantasy quarterback,
he's kind of giving us a metaphorical middle finger because
(03:51):
he's actually be getting done with his arm most often
this week this year, I should.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Say congratulations to everybody who used their arms and fingers
to open the app and see that they won. In
Week ten, Let's get to the ones, and right your
quarterback one is Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, I don't want to do it because I'm going
to be streaming a quarterback this week, and I was
looking at the waiver wire and Aaron Rodgers was right
there going up against the Bengals, and I'm like, I
gotta do it. This is gonna be the guy I
put in my waiver claim for him already. And this
is really a stretch of where Aaron Rodgers is truly
going to care. He's got the Bengals that he's going
to get the Bear that he's going to Soldier Field
one last time to go out there and stick it
(04:28):
to the Bears. This is the time, this is the
stretch to play him. And obviously, anybody going up against
his Bengals defense has had a lot of success, including
the quarterbacks who you've seen. The Bengals have allowed a
twenty three touchdown passes this season that is the most
in the NFL. So as bad as Aaron Rodgers looked
on Sunday night, there is a good possibility he's going
(04:49):
to return to vintage form on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well, my QB one for the week is the guy
that right now is the QB one overall, and that's
Drake May who's been playing some fantastic fi football.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And really doing it without that one.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Pass catcher that you look at and say, Okay, that's
the guy that's gonna get it. I mean, Stefan Diggs
has stepped up. We saw Kyle Williams make a big
play last week, but really it's been a lot of
Drake May kind of just taking it upon himself. Seven
top twelve finishes, three finishes in the top five in
any given week, eight games with two or more passing touchdowns,
plus six among quarterbacks in rushing yards going against a
(05:23):
Jets defense and wasn't particularly great to begin with. Then
they get rid of Sauce Gardner and Quinn Williams. Last
week I think was more about the Browns than it
was the Jets defense. Even then, they still gave up
twenty fantasy points to Dylan Gabriel. So I like Drake
May a lot on Thursday Night.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
A couple good quarterback options there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Let's go to the running backs, where I will take
last week's RB two as this week's RB one. Devon
hn is going up against the Washington Commanders defense that's
given up the third most total yards a game this season,
totally yards being the key because Davon Han does it
on the ground and through the air of the Commander's
fresh off Seeing Jamier Gibbs have thirty eight Fantasy points,
consider ar the volume of the Dolphins offense that is
(06:03):
purely twenty eight running and receiving, I think he is
responsible for a lot of those yards in Madrid, Right.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Rico Dondell and this one.
Speaking of a team that was in an international game,
the Falcons were destroyed on the ground by Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
In Berlin on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
So if you were a member of the of Dave
Canalys's coaching staff and you watch that film and think
anything other than running the ball exclusively with Rico donnell,
then you're in line for malpractice, especially when you consider
Bryce Young as the quarterback. They need to run the
football against his team. Ric o'doondell needs to get all
(06:39):
the carries. Sorry, I'm true. I'm still upset that I
strained him last week, so I'm still a little bit bitter.
But not only is Rico donnalle going to be a
great play this week. Juba Hubbard who is sort of
I guess still on. The Panthers should get some opportunities
against that Falcons defense that has allowed the fourth most
fantasy boards per game the running backs the season. They've
allowed twenty points of running backs and three of their last.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Four multiple Trevichas loaded against quarterbacks recording Aaron Rodgers from
rightde who's the wide receiver one?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I don know Jamar Chase, you know, in part because
he's playing the Steelers, and the Steelers have been a
pretty favorable matchup to wide receivers now. They played earlier
this year and Chase had that. Normally I would go
out and say something like, I don't expect that Jamar
Chase is gonna get twenty three targets and have sixteen
catches again, but like.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It can really happen again.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
The way the Figals operate, the way Joe Flacco has
been operating a quarterback, I wouldn't be surprised if you
see Jamar Chase this week get another twenty targets and
have another fifteen to sixteen catches and go over one
hundred and fifty yards against the Steelers because win in doubt.
Just throw it to number one and more often than that,
good things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Absolutely a great start there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I will go over to Ceedee Lamb, who got a
week of rest and now a chance to go up
against the Raiders team that's given up the sixth most
fantasy points to wideouts this season.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Ceed getting a smooth ten targets a game.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
As I think, not just he gets healthier, the Cowboys
get healthier upfront, as do their stats in the passing game.
The Cowboys made a lot of news at last week's
trade deadline. Let's get some more news out of the
NFC East and today's in case you miss it, and
we will start there. In our only bit of news
of the week regarding the Washington Commanders starting quarterback in
(08:16):
Jaden Daniels, he reportedly did not travel is not planning
to travel with the team to Madrid, so not going
to have JD five in another week of Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Marcus Mariota. But again I would check the waiver wire.
Not only is Aaron Rodgers going to be available to you,
there's other quarterbacks that you might want to look at.
And as a matter of fact, if you picked up
Bryce Young last week to stream him, now you can
let that out on go. I'm just saying it wasn't good.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I think the other part of this is, I mean,
I think we're sort of just out generally on starting
commander's skill position guys.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You know, I mean, Terre mclaurin's still dealing with some injuries.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Deebo Samuel has not really produced the way we would like.
The running game is kind of a mess with now
three guys sharing all the opportunities. So I think you
get sort of, you know, fast forward from the Commanders
your fantasy roster until further notice.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
But you know who you can fast forward. They look
like they're running in fast motion. Sometimes the Miami Dolphins
are playing in that game.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The Washington Commander is taking on the Miami Dolphins in Madrid.

You're on Fantasy Live because seeing is believing. But the
(09:29):
only objective truth that we know is winning in fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Marcus Grant here's.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Sort the truth from what only appears to be, and
we'll start with Travon Henderson, the home run hitter, got
his chances, saw a couple clear of the fence.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Was that real or anarage? I think it's real now.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm mostly talking to you, Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels,
because we've been waiting for this moment for several weeks now,
and we've actually seen Henderson be explosive over the past
few games, over his last three averaging seven point three
yards per carry. Compare that to Remondre Steve was averaging
just three point three yards per carry this season.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Stevenson with one game with more than.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Fifty five rushing yards, obviously dealing with some injuries as
well over the last couple of weeks. But at this point,
the Patriots have done a lot offensively. I talked about
Drake May and how great he's been, but it would
be nice to have that explosive element as a compliment
in the running game. So it just feels like it
is time to give Trey Von Hinderson some more opportunity.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Let's go to Minnesota, where, no surprise, there
was a top scoring wide receiver, that's a Viking. The
surprise was it was Jalen Naylor. As it continues to
get ins on targets, is that real or moron?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, this feels a little bit hallucinatory with Jalen Naylor.
It was great to see it happen. I mean, he
had one big play where he broke a couple of tackles,
had a lot of yards after the catch, and that's
always fun. But it's just really hard to sort of
believe that this is going to be sustainable. Had just
six targets, did catch five of them, but there was
a season high end targets, in receptions, in receiving yards,
it was just a second touchdown he's had all season.
(10:54):
And more importantly, most of the targets in that game
still went to Justin Jefferson who had twelve and Jordan
Nadison who had eleven. So there's really nothing to suggest
that there's anything more to this Jalen Naylor explosion than
they just being sort of a one off situation. So
I think JJ McCarthy's still going to try to get
the ball to his main playmakers. I wouldn't get too
excited about throwing Naylor into any lineups in the near future.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
One thing people do get excited about Marcus conspiracies, whether
it's the Denver Airport or birds.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Now it's time to clear it up on Fantasy Live
is Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Reel birds are not real. Neither is Dylan Gabriel. That's
kind of what I'm going with this one here. Look,
I mentioned that he had twenty points this past week
against the New York Jets, but I wouldn't really read
much into it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
This is a Jets defense that is depleted after moving
on from some of its best pieces.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Gabrael himself completed.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Barely more than fifty percent of his passes, just over
five yards per attempt. Had the fifty four rushing yards,
about two thirds of those came on two big long
runs late in the game with the Browns in hurry
up mode. This bears this Browns offense really isn't going
much of anywhere. Now you have people sort of grumbling
about maybe Shud or Sanders should get a turn to
see what he can do there. So yeah, dying Gabriel.
(12:10):
Nice fantasy game. Glad it happened, not banking on it
happening again.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
One offense we do expect to go places, notably the
end zone where they went several times with Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Was Jamison Williams performance real or marak? It was absolutely real?
And I've been waiting on this since the preseason.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I was hyping Jamison Williams is a huge breakout guy.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It hadn't happened. John Morton came out.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
A couple of weeks ago and said he apologized to
Jamison Williams for not making it happen, which really only
made me feel vindicated for my takes early this season.
But the Lion's making more of an effort to get
him involved. Four more receptions in three of his last
four games. You have four catches just once through the
first five weeks. Dan Campbell has taken over the play calling,
which I think is only going to benefit Jamison Williams
because he's made it a point. Campbell has to say.
(12:52):
They got to get their downfield threat going. So for
folks like me who were calling for the Jamison Williams breakout,
we can sit here and proudly say that we weren't wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
We were chess and as the apologies go out there,
Johnny Warden offering one to a receiver, maybe one to
his coach, who ultimately decides to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Make the play calling.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And now we get a chance to see if apology
is going in the direction of the State of Arizona.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Let's get a wire a Patrick, I.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Already said nice things about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You're pushing your luck if you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Think I'm saying nice things about the state of Arizona,
a lovely place to visit.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
The spice might or might not be there.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You'll have to wait and see, because right now we've
got floor four flavor.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Profiles for you.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
On the floor that's try Chucky b Let's get mild
but flavorful. And we got to go to the home
of the Randy Savage International Airport. Actually, I'm shocked that
Jacksonville has not named their airport after vamacho man Randy Savage.
But in any event, we have become the Parker Washington
Show of Record, and we will say, do we love
(13:56):
Parker Washington, We love Parker Lewis can't lose, and we
love the p that we have seen out of this
young man. He has had at least seventeenth fantasy points
in back to back weeks. He's had at least ten
in three consecutive games. As we sit here and the
Jags are navigating these troubled waters, they have found a
gem right here with Travis Hunter out with Brian Thomas
(14:18):
Junior battling some injuries. If you need help at the
wide receiver position, go out.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
There right now, to the place of.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Ae W and go light the dynamite with Parker. Oh
my gosh, that was a big one. All right, let's
get spicy. Let's get spicy. And for that, Patrick, we're
gonna go to Arizony. We're gonna go to Arizona. Even
though I know better. I'm like, why are we doing this?
Like anytime they go out there and make one of
those Fantastic Four movies, I'm like, why are they doing this?
They've tried and tried to get they can do it.
(14:48):
Shouldn't make sense. It's a great story. We love the thing,
we love the human torch, we love all of that.
It just never seems to work. That's by Patrick and
I that.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Made a stand. Don't like the fantas the bold of
us have. God did the drink. We have gotten together.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
As a duo, a famed duo like Batman and Robin
trying to come back to the fantastic fire. But let's
talk about Amari de Marcado went. If you've been watching
the Arizona Cardinals over the last couple of weeks, they
go out there, they play some okay football, but de
Marcado is the better running back.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I know.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We like Bam Knight speaking of speaking of the Dark
Knight himself, but Dee Maricado is the guy. But it's
just unforgivable. Unforgivable, like the state of Arizona not having
great Mexican food.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You're a border state. It makes no sense. How can
we not have this?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But Dee Maricado is somebody that you can pick up
on your way for let's go three alarm.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Three alarm.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
We're trying to figure out what is going on with
Bucky Irving down in Tampa Bay. He has not been
he's never put on the ir but every week it
seems like they announced early he's not gonna be ready,
He's not going to be ready. And we're like, it's
kind of the time that they knocked down Don Ramones
in Nottington Beach, California, and they took months months to
rebuilt at Chick fil A, and the amount of time
(16:04):
it took us to get our Don Ramons back.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's back.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Don't worry about it. The Bean diffit is fantastic. And similarly,
Sean Tucker has been fantastic for this Buccaneers offense over
the last couple of weeks, ten plus Fantasy points in
back to back games. He was averaging close to six
yards per carry last week. And so this is the
guy that we're gonna roll with this week. He is
probably available on your waiver wire right now, go out
(16:26):
and pick him up. And finally, let's get all the oblo.
Let's get crazy. Let's go to the second city. Let's
go to Chicago. Nobody is talking about Luther Burden except
for their head coach Ben Johnson, who earlier this week said, look,
every time we give Luther Burden opportunities, he goes and
(16:46):
makes the most of them. It's up to us to
now give him those opportunities. Dj Moore is battling an injury.
Some of the other receivers are battling.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The football not catching it.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Luthor Burden, the third goes out there. It is given
Caleb Williams his highest passer rating when he is out
there on the field. So if you're looking for somebody
with a lot of upside who could end up emerging
as one of the top pass catching options for the
Chicago Bears, I'll tell you right now, Chucky Bee Mega
Luther Burton is third, and here comes the fastball.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Doesn't quite get there?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
How about this one?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh, that one doesn't get.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
There, that one goes away.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That was the waiver wire hot sauce.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
For a week eleven. Now for a lot of us,
the trade deadline is approaching. What are we going to
be doing with the New York Giants? A team that's
in flux. They just hired by doppelganger, Brian Dable. Now
what are we going to do?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
They fired him, That's what I said.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I didn't say it. I said fired hired. Whatever what
are we doing with the Giants? We'll talk about that
coming up. The NFL Fantasy Live rolls on. Welcome back

Visit nfl dot com slash Salute to learn about the

some trade wins here on NFL Fantasy Live, as we
would like to lift all the boats for the fantasy
teams that may be below the line and looking up
(18:23):
and need to make a push for the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So let's get some players to trade for and to
trade away. We'll start with who you're trading to get, right.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, I would love to get George Kittle on any
one of my teams. Obviously, George Kittle in battling some
injuries earlier this year, So if you find a manager
in your leagues, it has a surplus.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Of tight ends.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
This is a very specific one. I'm talking to one
person in general, and you want to get that George
Kittle because obviously, now that he's returned to the forty
nine ers, he's been playing some of his best football.
The touchdown that he had against the Rams was an
incredible fee just showing off his athleticism.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And when you peap the pete.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I'm giving, I'm giving away he's in the folks, I'm
already I'm already in character for the d block. When
you look at the playoff schedule, I think that there's
a lot of opportunity for you. Here's the play right
there there, it is Look at this is producing right there.
Dumb eyes, dumbstruck when I saw him, My god, what
a great play he made. But when you look at
the playoffs schedule for him as well, George Kittle is
(19:23):
a guy that I want to be rolling with.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It is the championship round.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Well, I'm looking to try and add Devon ah Chan
understanding that you're going to have to give something up
of value to get a guy like this. But there
might be a manager in your league whose team is
sort of fading that has Devon a Chan and not
a whole lot else. Bona fide workhorse back getting almost
eighty percent of the snaps, two thirds of the rushing attempts,
almost a twenty five percent target cheer mean, when they're
(19:48):
throwing the ball, it tends to be Jalen Waddle and
Devon Ah Chang getting a lot of those opportunities. If
you can't trust anything else in this Miami offense, you know,
you can trust a Chan. You look down the stretch,
it's either teams with bad defenses or tea without a
lot to play for, or maybe both. I mean the Commanders,
the Saints, Jets, Steelers, Bengals and Bucks. The rest of
the season, Devian e Chan is a huge smash spot.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think, yeah, get Davina Chan if you can, and
also trade for AJ Brown.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Do it now.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But by this time he could.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Even help you by tweeting some innocuous thing, and that's
going to cause people to go bananas. The Eagles are
going to be fine. They're gonna throw to AJ. He's
gonna score touchdowns. He's on fourteen points and eighty receiving
yards in two of the last three games. Everything will
ultimately be all right. And this is one of those
maybe above the line situations where you're looking for fantasy
managers who are below the line, who haven't necessarily gotten
(20:36):
the production that they're going to need to get into
the playoffs. Maybe they'd be willing to ship a J.
Brown because they can't afford to wait for the Eagles
to turn things around. And they saw Lane Johnson living
around last night. That's given them concern as well. But
if we want to get talent, we have to give
talent who were trading away.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
It's tough to say that Kamani Vitel is a player
that would I would be looking to trade away.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was going to say that we made him.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
We made this Montevidell show of record last year, celebrating
the fact that he's at least seventeen Fantasy points in
three out of his last five games, really coming along
as a running back the kind of expectations we had
going into last season. But here's the thing. Week twelve
is the Chargers. By after that, Week thirteen is a
potential landing spot for Marion Hampton to return to this team.
(21:22):
So if you could catch some unsuspecting fantasy manager not
thinking so far ahead and just looking at the most
recent production, you might be able to swing a deal
and feel like, hey, I'm giving up something of value, Wall,
You're actually probably giving up a complimentary piece.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I think you can say something similar about Courtland Sutton
there in Denver.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're on the.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Surface, he looks like he's still the wide receiver one,
but you look over the last few weeks and you
have to ask yourself whether or not Troy Franklin has
surpassed him in the pecking order there. Franklin's out targeted
Sutton thirty seven to twenty six over the last four weeks.
Andy passing in that has sort of been inconsistent, but
think there's some name value there. There's still going to
be some production there. But it does look like bow knicks.
(22:04):
It's starting to spread the ball around. Schedule's not great.
Its still two games against the Chiefs, including one in
championship week. They've got the Packers, they got the Jaguars
in the playoffs. So Sutton is a guy who maybe
helped you do some things early in the season, but
it might be time at this point to say goodbye.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I think it's time to.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Think about to a guy who has had the statistical success,
and that is Theo Johnson, who scored two or more
points in five of the last seven games. He's got
the fifth most receiving touchdowns. In fact, every single one
of those touchdowns, which is the problem, has come from
Jackson Dart, who's currently in the league's concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
They had coached it was scheming things up.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
For the ricky quarterback, using in the run game, creating space,
not just for the offense, but for THEO. Johnson has
just been fired. And so all of that change maybe
allows you to look to a fantasy manager who is
in need of a tight end, who believes that the
production will stay there. For THEO Johnson, you can flip
him for a player that you would like to have.
So those are our players to trade four and to
(22:58):
trade away. This season's heating up, but prices are cooling down.

Terms and embargoes apply. It's time now for my five.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And you know the thing you do when you look
at the clock and it says eleven eleven and you
make a wish. Well doing the same thing, because the
calendar today says eleven eleven here on the eleventh day
of the eleventh month. So for that reason, I've got
my five wishes four week eleven.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
See will start at number five. Where give us Jamis Winston,
you coward said, come on, we see.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The Jackson dart is in concussion protocol dealing with concussion symptoms.
And yes it was Russell Wilson who took over last week.
But we need a backup quarterback who understands the assignment.
See what Joe Flacco, Jacoby Brissett and Davis Mills have done.
Just throw it to your good players, and I'm not
sure Russell Wilson is that guy. Look, we're not starting
a Giants quarterback anyway, so my KAFA, give us somebody
that can keep Wondale Robinson and Darius Slayton viable at
(24:03):
number four erin Glynn.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Just pick a quarterback already.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I mean, we're gonna keep up this nonsense of hiding
your starting quarterback. Neither Justin Fields nor Tyrod Taylor causing
defensive coordinators any sleepless nights.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Their skill sets are.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Actually, they're not so vastly different that you're gonna scrap
your game plan because one or the other is getting
the start.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Plus, I don't want to wait all week.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
If I can decide to start a quarterback who might
give me twenty points or he might give me four.
Just tell us now, stop the hemming and hauling and
let me decide before Sunday morning at number three, Stay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hot, Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I was one of those folks out there who predict
that you would break that four thousand yard ceiling for
the Bears franchise.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
We are on pace right now, so just keep up
the good work.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
But more importantly, GiB has been a solid QB one
with a stable floor. He's got five games of nineteen
or more fantasy points. Also, he leads all quarterbacks in
receptions and receiving yards, so he's a true PPR quarterback
if you're into that sort of thing. At number two, Falcons,
stop with you, Tyler Algier, madness. The contrast between Jonathan
(25:08):
Taylor and Bejon Robinson was on full display in Berlin.
Taylor gets eighty five percent of the rushing attempts compared
to less than seventy percent for Robinson. Taylor gets seventy
five percent of the work inside the five yard line.
That's zero percent for Jon Robinson this season. Rahie Morris,
if you really think Bjeon Robinson is the best player
in the NFL, why are you treating him like a
(25:30):
platoon back.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I know you like Tyler.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Aljier enough already give us the full Jeon Robinson treatment.
And at number one, it's time to end the Shanahanigans.
Rock Perty has a real chance to play next week
for like the seventh week in a row.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ricky Pearsall could be.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Back at practice after he checks out of his Airbnb
in the shadow realm Randon night you got. My fantasy
roster is like the hand towels in the guest bathroom.
They're nice to look at, but they're unusable. Kyle Shanahan,
I am begging you deep from the heart of all
fantasy managers.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Please stop giving us fake injury updates. Please.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
That's all that's got me worked up. Prior has worked
up as Patrick though, please take it away.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, Marcus, Shananigan's are the worst, especially when you're consistently
losing at fantasy football and you're looking for help because
your players are undermining you every single week. I have
a long commute, a long telecommute over to Orange County
to get some assistance to try to feel a little
bit better. But my therapist has passed me on to
his nephew. I think he calls everybody unk. But either way,
(26:32):
the kids are all about streaming nowadays, and one streamer
that did nothing for me was justin Jefferson. Now know
you got a twitch channel, j Jay, I'm over here
twitching watching you getting outscored by Jalen Naylor seven points.
Seven fantasy points is not why I drafted you in
the top five of my fantasy football draft.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The wide receiver forty two forty two targets isn't helping you.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
To stop telling me about opportunity and tell me about points.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Honey, what I feel you, old head.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Justin Jefferson has lost that raise no cap and anytime
I see JJ McCarthy, I'm like, no way to do this, show,
sus but big yikes. But Justin Jefferson he's slayed before,
and the thing that he's not gonna do it against
the Bears.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
This week, you're just delulu. So here's what you're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You're gonna go out and you're gonna start him because
this matchup is busting.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
The glow up about to happen.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
So when it comes to Justin Jefferson, Boomer, you need
a chill bruh.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I understood some of that, young man, and what you
said made a little bit of sense. And then I'm
thinking about California and how chill it is and how
fun it is.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
But there was a game in so.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Far Stadium and to Caitlyn Metcalf, you.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Do not talk to me about where the targets were going,
how you could have had touchdowns if your a quarterback
could put it within your vicinity. You are a large
intimidating person. You go up to him and just say,
I know you made a lot of personnel decisions in
the past. Want to make the decision to throw me
the football where I can get it, gets a point,
that's all you him.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Hold up there, Brashmy, why are you so salty with DK?
Dude is eight in the pat like almost literally, he's
eight in the past. But you know what, no cap,
he's been down a little bit. But here's the thing.
His quarterback is giving me the egg. And if I'm
about to spill the tea on this quarterback, I'm gonna
say that he regrets his decision to come back and
play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But one thing he.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Won't regret is going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. This
is this matchup is so dank. He's gonna go out
there and absolutely slay. So when it comes to DK Metcalf,
you got a chill, br.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You know it's the dankness has somehow convinced me. Thank
you so much for providing me with that wisdom. It's
about being consistent. Like like everybody said, Jailor Hurts is
gonna be consistent.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Twenty points the moment they step off the bus.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, why didn't I get those points? I got twelve
fantasy points for Jailer Hurts.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And don't give me some sort of hurtzy and philosophy
where you can up there and look all cool and
you're like, well, winning is the only thing that we
can really care about in a universe that's constantly striving
to push against this.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Jalen, I don't care. I don't care. I want to
win fantasy games. You're not doing that for me, So
I'm done. I'm out.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Jalen Hurts, get me another quarterback this instance, because I'll
be honest, this rant is sending me like absolutely, I
get it.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Jalen Hurts ghosted a lot of us, but sheee all
you chew GI fantasy guys do find this sus, But
that ain't it. Chief Now this week he was a
quarterback eighteen and mostly I hope he's somewhere around quarterback
six seven. This is one game in the wind to
the snell at Green Bay. And by the way, who
wants to go to Green Bay anyways? That place is
(29:43):
totally sus totally itch. All they do out there is
sit there and eat cheese. But this week he's got
a much better back, he's got a much better matchup.
And if it doesn't work out, you can come clap
back on me on TikTok. But right now, Boomer, I
do know that Jalen Hurts is going to go out
there and slay. And you know what, when it comes
to Jalen Hurts, you got a chimp bro.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Thank you so much, young man. You know my consternation
was quite shooky. But we look forward to building together
and not tweeting at fantasy football players because they want
to score.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's not it. That's not it. It's giving the ick
when you do that.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
When we come back here on NFL Fantasy Live, Derreck
Henry has fallen from last year's.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
RB four to the RB seventeen.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Are we feeling a turnaround in the back half of
the season for Baltimore's superstar.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's a week eleven.

This week, the honor goes to Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney.
Mooney traveled four thy, seven hundred and thirteen miles from
(31:16):
Atlanta to Berlin on Sunday, and once he got there,
he did a little sightseeing at the Olympic Stadium on
twenty one yards worth of running. All that for just
one seventeen yard catch. It's not very good in fantasy,
but at least he got those frequent flyer miles as
well as some cardio in in Berlin. Congratulations to Darnell Mooney.
(31:38):
It's time for us to get away from things like
stats for the Cardio King and all that information and
go purely just vibes as we're looking forward to the
rest of the NFL season. Marcus scrant no stats, give
us your vibes here in Week eleven.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Well, I take no pleasure in stating this, but I
think we have to be on the lookout for the
Derrick Henry decline. I think we just watched him sort
of by the eye test. I know the number haven't
been great this year, but this is not about stats,
but just sort of watch him, and he does still
have the ability to have big runs, to have big games,
and every once in a while he will still stiff
arm of defender into dust. But part of what made
him so fearsome was his ability to get downhill, get
(32:14):
that motor going, and be a guy that you didn't
want to tackle.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Except now, after so many years and so.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Many touches, it does seem like it takes a little
bit longer for that engine to get up to full speed,
or we're just not seeing him be quite as dominant
as we have been. Then the Ravens say they want
to get Keaton Mitchell Moore involved, So I think we're
gonna have a real conversation about where we're drafting. Dereck
Henry when we start the twenty twenty sixth season.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, it's like watching the final run of John Cena.
Still great, still enjoy everything he's doing out there, but
it's not the same scenea that we saw fifteen years ago.
A little bit different, a little a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I'll hold out hope. I'll hold out hope a little bit.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I don't blame it gives your I'm still holding out
hope that we'll get another great game from twa tongue
of Ioloa this week over in Madrid. You know what
this is one of the things that we're are going
to be monitoring with Mike McDaniel is how how invested
are the players are they? Are they fighting for his job?
Are they fighting for their own jobs? Obviously this week
(33:10):
they knocked off the Buffalo Bills. They got another opportunity
here against the Commanders, and it was great listening to
Mike McDaniel and his press conference regarding the troll job
that perhaps he might or might not have driven by
the Elbow Room, which is a popular Bills bar out
there by in Miami in his neighborhood, by the way,
and he's like, you know, back in the day when
(33:30):
you saw something on the internet. You were just able
to believe it because we didn't have AI. I'm like, no,
but we had photoshop trying to sit there trying to
show photos of the locked ness. The locked ness a
lot like the Santa Ana River Monster. Yes, everybody knows that.
That's why you named their team the Highlanders. It's the
connection to all the Scottish settlers and the Ie. It
(33:56):
just makes perfect sense. It's a clear it's a clear
tie in.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
And folks, if you want to go get international legends,
check it out. Presented by net app.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Sunday Morning Football, Rise, Shine and watch the Washington Commanders
take on to a tung Malola Devon and chan Jalen
Waddle and those Miami Dolphins who's their coach may be
doing a little.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Referencing things.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Sunday morning, Eastern Game Day kickoff starts at seven am
Eastern Coverage the Ball also available on NFL Plus. Uh
My vibes indicate that Dan Campbell calling plays huge for Jamo.
There was a moment before the touchdown that you just
saw where Dan Campbell calls that play immediately after he
(34:37):
gets the play call in f pumps as if he
knew the touchdown was coming. He was just excited to
get the ball to Jmo. And perhaps, uh, that's why
the offensive coordinator who was upstairs, We're trying to figure.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Out, Hey, what would you say you do here? Jameis
Williams maybe didn't apologize.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
TPS reports as we speak.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
I mean, they look, man, we have we have those
those fantasy villains, right, those guys that are nimbus. This
is like Arthur Smith who just refused to give the
ball to their good players like Strike one for the
fantasy heroes, and Dan Campbell who actually give us some
joy on.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
A weekly basis. We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Let's distribute our own little bit of joy and not
in the form of one player, but two player.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Let's get our favorite stacks.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
So so we get the sacks on stacks on stacks
for Week eleven, Marcus, I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Gonna go to the Dallas Cowboys. They've got a game
on Monday night in Las Vegas against the Raiders. Dak
Prescott and Cede Lamb. I mean, we know how good
CD Lamb can be, has been, will be all of that,
but Dak Prescott also just slinging the ball a lot,
in part because Bo's defense gives up a lot of points,
so they have to throw the football to stay in it.
I don't know how much the Raiders are going to score,
but this could be a back and forth game. I
(35:39):
expect a lot of points. Dak and CD should eat
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
I'm gonna go with a triple stack. In Cincinnati, give
me Joe Flacco, Jamar Chase and T Higgins Again. We
keep celebrating these guys who throw it to the good players.
And Joe Flacco rolled into Cincinnati and they're like, here's
your playbucket. He's like, no, I only need a playbuck
I just need to know what number Chase wears. Number one, fine,
THEE Higgins number five. Perfect, That's all. I'm gonna throw
(36:04):
it too.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I know.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yoshi vas is like, hey, what about me? Like, yeah,
we okay, we don't need you, sir. But he's going
out there. He's distributing the ball in a pretty good
matchup here, not Yoshimas I told you no, this is
supposed stop not you, Chase Tawkinchase brown Spine, but honestly
targeting the good players in a great game, a great
potential matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, you can
(36:26):
play all you want to play, everybody from this matchup
you want to sit.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
There is Lynn Swan still available.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I'll get him into this game. Chris Collins word, let's go.
But should be a great one for all the Bengals
pass catchers.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
And I know as I take a stack where you
look at the matchup and think, oh, this is a
rough one because the Seattle Seahawks have a great defense.
This is a great game between the Rams and the Seahawks.
But don't let that scare you away from Matthew Stafford
and Pooka Nakua here in week eleven where Puka was
on like cuppish pace before he went out with the injury.
(36:58):
And we've only seen things get better with Davante Adams
in the red zone. So it's just more for Mike
mack and the Seahawks defense to figure out how they're
going to deal with the Rams, who account started this
whole personnel shift and passing out of big, big packages.
And now it's get a chance for both of these teams.
We're both doing it at a high levels. As it's
Mike McDonald's going up against Sean McVay in a battle
(37:21):
of witsword. The MVP decision could.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Come down to this game, Like Sam Clemente Donal Sam
Donald in the discussion, They'll be celebrating at the Denny's
off of the Pico.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yes, dammy San Clement off of.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Pico in San Clement and where Sam Donald played his
high school football. Oh a lot of you have fond
memories of Week ten as we get to victory Tuesday,
as we celebrate along with all of you who sent
in some tweets, starting with Bucky who never gave up
on Trayvon Rank even though we're forced to because of injuries.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
And no better off.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
No, it was run of the things. One of our
senior production officers who works here, Sammer, we're talking about
this in the Lund room yesterday about how listen, I
was going to ride it out, like I was like
if I would have lost my season because Travion Henderson
didn't come through, so be it. I've been starting him
every week. I've never given up, and it finally ten
weeks later, finally paid off.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
There you go, stick to it. This working out. The
Jordan's yelling at us, sad Marcus one, please don't yell
at me too.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Congratulations on your excellent running backs playing excellent over the weekend.
But hey, look is Shotona Taylor is a guy that
fell down draft boards and people were sort of concerned
about it. I think they're mostly I think you just
mostly fallout from the Daniel Jones shots that people were firing.
But he's been fantastic, and vine H chan I said earlier,
he's kind of the one thing we can consistently count
on in the Miami offense. So hey, keep rolling that
(38:46):
that looks like a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, let's go over to Steve and who started to
Vonta Smith. He's trying to trade him to an Eagles
fan for the Vonte Adams. But yeah, he got Davonte
on Monday night. All right, I get it.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That's a lot to read.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm not having trouble reading all this over here, a
lot of texts. I know that some of you they've
they've expanded the capabilities here on the Twitter platform, But uh,
you don't need to take advantage of it. Because your
car goes to one fifty five doesn't mean you have
to drive one knocket matter.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
We had one hundred and forty. You had to quote.
You got to be succinct, man Kenningway.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Let's go to Big Honest, who played Zack Charmonay and
said r J.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Harvey but Marcus now.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
He's he's gonna flip it because r J is gonna
have no JK.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Dobbins.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Yeah, I mean, look it makes sense on paper. Just
you know, beware, we need a name. We got Shannon Hanigans,
we had Bellatrix when he was still in the NFL.
We need something for Sean Payton uh to just because
he leads us astray. He has bamboozled us many times,
so I understand the thought process.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Just be prepared to have.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Your And now Bellatrix is making some strange moves in
North Carolina. Let's go to Huge Has he got a
notification about Ernest Jones? Yes, Huge Huge Wolf is an
IDP player. We appreciate all the IDP sickles out there.
He goes with kway Walker instead. He got six point
five Fantasy points and one by five point nine eight
(40:07):
IDP for life.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
You're allowed to use if you play id FLEET pee leagues,
you're allowed to use that many characters. Well done, Yes,
make a lot of roster decisions.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Our final one started Caleb over Lamar and one because
of it hashtag bare.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Down, which gets a fist pump out of.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
This guy, Mark, what crushout out to you because that
takes some stones. I don't know that I would have
done that, but shout out to you for pulling that
off and making it happen. No, nothing but respect on
this side of the tab.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Also been victory to celebrate because it's a two late
rushing touchdowns to get those points being on a late,
a late score.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
I was playing my friend Charlie ten in my league record,
who's a Steelers fan, and I was I was down
by a tenth of a point and I had keenan
Allen and I said, you know they're going to give
him a garbage reception, right, And he goes, I know,
And we were texting, right is the shovel pass happened?
So a double whammy for poor Charles to.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Break it all down Chargers Record. It's Antonio Gates and
attendant tomorrow. Jimmy checks He's gonna be here in attendance.
No not Antonio, Kimmy Tex will be on the show
for Marcus and rack On Patrick here, tomorrow.
Speaker 1 (41:10):
Wow,
Wow.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
Today it's a Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy Football Podcast.
I'm Patrick Claibon and I'll be joined by Marcus Grant
and Adam Rank. Coming up today, our predictions for a
week eleven's top performers and the best stacks you can
put in your DFS lineup. Plus Adam Rant tells us
which players you need to chill about, and Marcus separates
reality from fantasy mirage. That's all today on the NFL
Fantasy Football Podcast. Everybody, Welcome to NFL Fantasy Love. Patrick
(00:35):
Klaibon here with Adam Rank and Marcus Grants, who were
the pillars on which this program was founded.
Speaker 1 (00:39):
Here on the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
Speaker 2 (00:41):
Happy Veterans Day to everybody out there, and we get
a chance to kick it off wrapping up a Monday
night football game where we didn't have a lot of points, right,
but we got some fantasy points to tell everybody.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
About, did we.
Speaker 3 (00:54):
Who everybody was upset that they missed that Thursday night game,
Well this sea well on Monday night just as good.
Speaker 1 (01:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:03):
It was great that we got to book end the
week with ten to seven games that were equally hmm,
sleep inducing that's maybe the most polite way I think
I can.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Those put those two games.
Speaker 2 (01:14):
They were great, Which is, while we're going to recut
the Monday nighter right here, the one packer we actually
projected was the one that scored Marcus.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
Yeah, Josh Jacobs, who has been really truly an elite
level fantasy running back this season. The floor has been
twelve points for him this year. You see that there,
the nineteen point seven fantasy points.
Speaker 1 (01:31):
He's had at.
Speaker 4 (01:31):
Least one touchdown in eight of Green Bay's nine games
this year, eleven total for the season.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
Definitely helps that. His coach always wants to.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
Establish the run, even in times when maybe they should
just think about throwing the ball on first down. But
for us greedy fantasy folks, we'll take it as long
as you can getting the ball at number eight, everything's
going to be fine.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Yeah, that was close to the projection I had. And
then everything else not so much, including what happened with
Jordan Love. We're at a season low seven point eighty
four fantasy points the quarterback two on the week, if
you're the ten fantasy points in back to back games,
and Patrick and I, you and I talked about this
before the game. I know that the Packers love two things,
(02:10):
winning meaningless games in December, I guess they're not meaningless.
That was you, but also at some point enough like
get a number one wide receiver. It's it's Ben Leo.
You tried it, you tried to make do with it.
But you need that headliner. You need the main eventor
you need somebody that you can count on when you're
sitting there down by three in the final moments. You
(02:33):
don't have a Caleb Williams type quarterback who's going to
bail you out regardless of who's on the field. You
need that superstar wide receiver to get Jordan Love some help.
Speaker 2 (02:42):
Well, it's emblematic because over on the other side, DeVonta
Smith got sixteen point nine Fantasy points if you adjust
for if you give it like a rock fight adjustment,
it felt like more and you can see it like
a top line receiver making big plays in the game
like this one on the touchdown catch. You had fourteen
points in three straight games. Deep ball kind of eliminated
some concerns with the Packers did score after that in
(03:04):
the Eagles pass game. If you have concerns about it,
they're not going to play at Green Bay on the
road in the cold wind every single week.
Speaker 1 (03:11):
I think they'll be just fun. Yeah, And I think
that's sort.
Speaker 4 (03:14):
Of the thing you have to take away from Jalen
Hurts last night, because obviously was not.
Speaker 1 (03:18):
A great game. It was not a great fantasy game.
Speaker 4 (03:21):
The twelve points there his second worst fantasy game of
the season, and sure the weather has something to.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Do with that. The Packers defense had something to do
with it. Also, the thing.
Speaker 4 (03:29):
About the Eagles is that they seem to throw the
ball kind of on an as needed basis, which makes
it hard to kind of predict what they're going to
do through the air week to week. One thing about
this though, by the way, Jalen Hurts has just one
rushing touchdown since Week three. So for all the people
and I was probably among them saying that, hey, it's
the twitch push that really makes him a viable fantasy quarterback,
he's kind of giving us a metaphorical middle finger because
(03:51):
he's actually be getting done with his arm most often
this week this year, I should.
Speaker 2 (03:54):
Say congratulations to everybody who used their arms and fingers
to open the app and see that they won. In
Week ten, Let's get to the ones, and right your
quarterback one is Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 3 (04:06):
Yeah, I don't want to do it because I'm going
to be streaming a quarterback this week, and I was
looking at the waiver wire and Aaron Rodgers was right
there going up against the Bengals, and I'm like, I
gotta do it. This is gonna be the guy I
put in my waiver claim for him already. And this
is really a stretch of where Aaron Rodgers is truly
going to care. He's got the Bengals that he's going
to get the Bear that he's going to Soldier Field
one last time to go out there and stick it
(04:28):
to the Bears. This is the time, this is the
stretch to play him. And obviously, anybody going up against
his Bengals defense has had a lot of success, including
the quarterbacks who you've seen. The Bengals have allowed a
twenty three touchdown passes this season that is the most
in the NFL. So as bad as Aaron Rodgers looked
on Sunday night, there is a good possibility he's going
(04:49):
to return to vintage form on Sunday.
Speaker 4 (04:52):
Well, my QB one for the week is the guy
that right now is the QB one overall, and that's
Drake May who's been playing some fantastic fi football.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
And really doing it without that one.
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Pass catcher that you look at and say, Okay, that's
the guy that's gonna get it. I mean, Stefan Diggs
has stepped up. We saw Kyle Williams make a big
play last week, but really it's been a lot of
Drake May kind of just taking it upon himself. Seven
top twelve finishes, three finishes in the top five in
any given week, eight games with two or more passing touchdowns,
plus six among quarterbacks in rushing yards going against a
(05:23):
Jets defense and wasn't particularly great to begin with. Then
they get rid of Sauce Gardner and Quinn Williams. Last
week I think was more about the Browns than it
was the Jets defense. Even then, they still gave up
twenty fantasy points to Dylan Gabriel. So I like Drake
May a lot on Thursday Night.
Speaker 1 (05:39):
A couple good quarterback options there.
Speaker 2 (05:40):
Let's go to the running backs, where I will take
last week's RB two as this week's RB one. Devon
hn is going up against the Washington Commanders defense that's
given up the third most total yards a game this season,
totally yards being the key because Davon Han does it
on the ground and through the air of the Commander's
fresh off Seeing Jamier Gibbs have thirty eight Fantasy points,
consider ar the volume of the Dolphins offense that is
(06:03):
purely twenty eight running and receiving, I think he is
responsible for a lot of those yards in Madrid, Right.
Speaker 3 (06:09):
Yeah, I'm gonna go with Rico Dondell and this one.
Speaking of a team that was in an international game,
the Falcons were destroyed on the ground by Jonathan Taylor.
Speaker 1 (06:17):
In Berlin on Sunday.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
So if you were a member of the of Dave
Canalys's coaching staff and you watch that film and think
anything other than running the ball exclusively with Rico donnell,
then you're in line for malpractice, especially when you consider
Bryce Young as the quarterback. They need to run the
football against his team. Ric o'doondell needs to get all
(06:39):
the carries. Sorry, I'm true. I'm still upset that I
strained him last week, so I'm still a little bit bitter.
But not only is Rico donnalle going to be a
great play this week. Juba Hubbard who is sort of
I guess still on. The Panthers should get some opportunities
against that Falcons defense that has allowed the fourth most
fantasy boards per game the running backs the season. They've
allowed twenty points of running backs and three of their last.
Speaker 2 (06:59):
Four multiple Trevichas loaded against quarterbacks recording Aaron Rodgers from
rightde who's the wide receiver one?
Speaker 4 (07:06):
I don know Jamar Chase, you know, in part because
he's playing the Steelers, and the Steelers have been a
pretty favorable matchup to wide receivers now. They played earlier
this year and Chase had that. Normally I would go
out and say something like, I don't expect that Jamar
Chase is gonna get twenty three targets and have sixteen
catches again, but like.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
It can really happen again.
Speaker 4 (07:25):
The way the Figals operate, the way Joe Flacco has
been operating a quarterback, I wouldn't be surprised if you
see Jamar Chase this week get another twenty targets and
have another fifteen to sixteen catches and go over one
hundred and fifty yards against the Steelers because win in doubt.
Just throw it to number one and more often than that,
good things are gonna happen.
Speaker 1 (07:41):
Absolutely a great start there.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
I will go over to Ceedee Lamb, who got a
week of rest and now a chance to go up
against the Raiders team that's given up the sixth most
fantasy points to wideouts this season.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
Ceed getting a smooth ten targets a game.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
As I think, not just he gets healthier, the Cowboys
get healthier upfront, as do their stats in the passing game.
The Cowboys made a lot of news at last week's
trade deadline. Let's get some more news out of the
NFC East and today's in case you miss it, and
we will start there. In our only bit of news
of the week regarding the Washington Commanders starting quarterback in
(08:16):
Jaden Daniels, he reportedly did not travel is not planning
to travel with the team to Madrid, so not going
to have JD five in another week of Marcus Mariota.
Speaker 3 (08:26):
Marcus Mariota. But again I would check the waiver wire.
Not only is Aaron Rodgers going to be available to you,
there's other quarterbacks that you might want to look at.
And as a matter of fact, if you picked up
Bryce Young last week to stream him, now you can
let that out on go. I'm just saying it wasn't good.
Speaker 4 (08:41):
I think the other part of this is, I mean,
I think we're sort of just out generally on starting
commander's skill position guys.
Speaker 1 (08:47):
You know, I mean, Terre mclaurin's still dealing with some injuries.
Speaker 4 (08:50):
Deebo Samuel has not really produced the way we would like.
The running game is kind of a mess with now
three guys sharing all the opportunities. So I think you
get sort of, you know, fast forward from the Commanders
your fantasy roster until further notice.
Speaker 1 (09:01):
But you know who you can fast forward. They look
like they're running in fast motion. Sometimes the Miami Dolphins
are playing in that game.
Speaker 2 (09:07):
The Washington Commander is taking on the Miami Dolphins in Madrid.

NFL dot com for terms. It's not for real or mirage.
You're on Fantasy Live because seeing is believing. But the
(09:29):
only objective truth that we know is winning in fantasy football.
Speaker 1 (09:32):
Marcus Grant here's.
Speaker 2 (09:33):
Sort the truth from what only appears to be, and
we'll start with Travon Henderson, the home run hitter, got
his chances, saw a couple clear of the fence.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Was that real or anarage? I think it's real now.
Speaker 4 (09:44):
I'm mostly talking to you, Mike Vrabel and Josh McDaniels,
because we've been waiting for this moment for several weeks now,
and we've actually seen Henderson be explosive over the past
few games, over his last three averaging seven point three
yards per carry. Compare that to Remondre Steve was averaging
just three point three yards per carry this season.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Stevenson with one game with more than.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
Fifty five rushing yards, obviously dealing with some injuries as
well over the last couple of weeks. But at this point,
the Patriots have done a lot offensively. I talked about
Drake May and how great he's been, but it would
be nice to have that explosive element as a compliment
in the running game. So it just feels like it
is time to give Trey Von Hinderson some more opportunity.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
All right, Let's go to Minnesota, where, no surprise, there
was a top scoring wide receiver, that's a Viking. The
surprise was it was Jalen Naylor. As it continues to
get ins on targets, is that real or moron?
Speaker 4 (10:33):
Yeah, this feels a little bit hallucinatory with Jalen Naylor.
It was great to see it happen. I mean, he
had one big play where he broke a couple of tackles,
had a lot of yards after the catch, and that's
always fun. But it's just really hard to sort of
believe that this is going to be sustainable. Had just
six targets, did catch five of them, but there was
a season high end targets, in receptions, in receiving yards,
it was just a second touchdown he's had all season.
(10:54):
And more importantly, most of the targets in that game
still went to Justin Jefferson who had twelve and Jordan
Nadison who had eleven. So there's really nothing to suggest
that there's anything more to this Jalen Naylor explosion than
they just being sort of a one off situation. So
I think JJ McCarthy's still going to try to get
the ball to his main playmakers. I wouldn't get too
excited about throwing Naylor into any lineups in the near future.
Speaker 2 (11:17):
One thing people do get excited about Marcus conspiracies, whether
it's the Denver Airport or birds.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
Now it's time to clear it up on Fantasy Live
is Dylan Gabriel.
Speaker 4 (11:25):
Reel birds are not real. Neither is Dylan Gabriel. That's
kind of what I'm going with this one here. Look,
I mentioned that he had twenty points this past week
against the New York Jets, but I wouldn't really read
much into it.
Speaker 1 (11:39):
Obviously.
Speaker 4 (11:40):
This is a Jets defense that is depleted after moving
on from some of its best pieces.
Speaker 1 (11:45):
Gabrael himself completed.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Barely more than fifty percent of his passes, just over
five yards per attempt. Had the fifty four rushing yards,
about two thirds of those came on two big long
runs late in the game with the Browns in hurry
up mode. This bears this Browns offense really isn't going
much of anywhere. Now you have people sort of grumbling
about maybe Shud or Sanders should get a turn to
see what he can do there. So yeah, dying Gabriel.
(12:10):
Nice fantasy game. Glad it happened, not banking on it
happening again.
Speaker 2 (12:14):
One offense we do expect to go places, notably the
end zone where they went several times with Detroit Lions.
Speaker 1 (12:19):
Was Jamison Williams performance real or marak? It was absolutely real?
And I've been waiting on this since the preseason.
Speaker 4 (12:25):
I was hyping Jamison Williams is a huge breakout guy.
Speaker 1 (12:28):
It hadn't happened. John Morton came out.
Speaker 4 (12:30):
A couple of weeks ago and said he apologized to
Jamison Williams for not making it happen, which really only
made me feel vindicated for my takes early this season.
But the Lion's making more of an effort to get
him involved. Four more receptions in three of his last
four games. You have four catches just once through the
first five weeks. Dan Campbell has taken over the play calling,
which I think is only going to benefit Jamison Williams
because he's made it a point. Campbell has to say.
(12:52):
They got to get their downfield threat going. So for
folks like me who were calling for the Jamison Williams breakout,
we can sit here and proudly say that we weren't wrong.
Speaker 2 (13:01):
We were chess and as the apologies go out there,
Johnny Warden offering one to a receiver, maybe one to
his coach, who ultimately decides to.
Speaker 1 (13:10):
Make the play calling.
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And now we get a chance to see if apology
is going in the direction of the State of Arizona.
Speaker 1 (13:16):
Let's get a wire a Patrick, I.
Speaker 3 (13:19):
Already said nice things about Aaron Rodgers.
Speaker 1 (13:22):
You're pushing your luck if you.
Speaker 3 (13:23):
Think I'm saying nice things about the state of Arizona,
a lovely place to visit.
Speaker 1 (13:27):
The spice might or might not be there.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
You'll have to wait and see, because right now we've
got floor four flavor.
Speaker 1 (13:33):
Profiles for you.
Speaker 3 (13:35):
On the floor that's try Chucky b Let's get mild
but flavorful. And we got to go to the home
of the Randy Savage International Airport. Actually, I'm shocked that
Jacksonville has not named their airport after vamacho man Randy Savage.
But in any event, we have become the Parker Washington
Show of Record, and we will say, do we love
(13:56):
Parker Washington, We love Parker Lewis can't lose, and we
love the p that we have seen out of this
young man. He has had at least seventeenth fantasy points
in back to back weeks. He's had at least ten
in three consecutive games. As we sit here and the
Jags are navigating these troubled waters, they have found a
gem right here with Travis Hunter out with Brian Thomas
(14:18):
Junior battling some injuries. If you need help at the
wide receiver position, go out.
Speaker 1 (14:23):
There right now, to the place of.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
Ae W and go light the dynamite with Parker. Oh
my gosh, that was a big one. All right, let's
get spicy. Let's get spicy. And for that, Patrick, we're
gonna go to Arizony. We're gonna go to Arizona. Even
though I know better. I'm like, why are we doing this?
Like anytime they go out there and make one of
those Fantastic Four movies, I'm like, why are they doing this?
They've tried and tried to get they can do it.
(14:48):
Shouldn't make sense. It's a great story. We love the thing,
we love the human torch, we love all of that.
It just never seems to work. That's by Patrick and
I that.
Speaker 1 (14:56):
Made a stand. Don't like the fantas the bold of
us have. God did the drink. We have gotten together.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
As a duo, a famed duo like Batman and Robin
trying to come back to the fantastic fire. But let's
talk about Amari de Marcado went. If you've been watching
the Arizona Cardinals over the last couple of weeks, they
go out there, they play some okay football, but de
Marcado is the better running back.
Speaker 1 (15:19):
I know.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
We like Bam Knight speaking of speaking of the Dark
Knight himself, but Dee Maricado is the guy. But it's
just unforgivable. Unforgivable, like the state of Arizona not having
great Mexican food.
Speaker 1 (15:30):
You're a border state. It makes no sense. How can
we not have this?
Speaker 3 (15:35):
But Dee Maricado is somebody that you can pick up
on your way for let's go three alarm.
Speaker 1 (15:41):
Three alarm.
Speaker 3 (15:42):
We're trying to figure out what is going on with
Bucky Irving down in Tampa Bay. He has not been
he's never put on the ir but every week it
seems like they announced early he's not gonna be ready,
He's not going to be ready. And we're like, it's
kind of the time that they knocked down Don Ramones
in Nottington Beach, California, and they took months months to
rebuilt at Chick fil A, and the amount of time
(16:04):
it took us to get our Don Ramons back.
Speaker 1 (16:05):
It's back.
Speaker 3 (16:05):
Don't worry about it. The Bean diffit is fantastic. And similarly,
Sean Tucker has been fantastic for this Buccaneers offense over
the last couple of weeks, ten plus Fantasy points in
back to back games. He was averaging close to six
yards per carry last week. And so this is the
guy that we're gonna roll with this week. He is
probably available on your waiver wire right now, go out
(16:26):
and pick him up. And finally, let's get all the oblo.
Let's get crazy. Let's go to the second city. Let's
go to Chicago. Nobody is talking about Luther Burden except
for their head coach Ben Johnson, who earlier this week said, look,
every time we give Luther Burden opportunities, he goes and
(16:46):
makes the most of them. It's up to us to
now give him those opportunities. Dj Moore is battling an injury.
Some of the other receivers are battling.
Speaker 1 (16:55):
The football not catching it.
Speaker 3 (16:57):
Luthor Burden, the third goes out there. It is given
Caleb Williams his highest passer rating when he is out
there on the field. So if you're looking for somebody
with a lot of upside who could end up emerging
as one of the top pass catching options for the
Chicago Bears, I'll tell you right now, Chucky Bee Mega
Luther Burton is third, and here comes the fastball.
Speaker 1 (17:17):
Doesn't quite get there?
Speaker 3 (17:18):
How about this one?
Speaker 1 (17:19):
Oh, that one doesn't get.
Speaker 3 (17:20):
There, that one goes away.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
That was the waiver wire hot sauce.
Speaker 3 (17:23):
For a week eleven. Now for a lot of us,
the trade deadline is approaching. What are we going to
be doing with the New York Giants? A team that's
in flux. They just hired by doppelganger, Brian Dable. Now
what are we going to do?
Speaker 1 (17:39):
They fired him, That's what I said.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
I didn't say it. I said fired hired. Whatever what
are we doing with the Giants? We'll talk about that
coming up. The NFL Fantasy Live rolls on. Welcome back

some trade wins here on NFL Fantasy Live, as we
would like to lift all the boats for the fantasy
teams that may be below the line and looking up
(18:23):
and need to make a push for the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (18:25):
So let's get some players to trade for and to
trade away. We'll start with who you're trading to get, right.
Speaker 3 (18:30):
Oh, I would love to get George Kittle on any
one of my teams. Obviously, George Kittle in battling some
injuries earlier this year, So if you find a manager
in your leagues, it has a surplus.
Speaker 1 (18:42):
Of tight ends.
Speaker 3 (18:42):
This is a very specific one. I'm talking to one
person in general, and you want to get that George
Kittle because obviously, now that he's returned to the forty
nine ers, he's been playing some of his best football.
The touchdown that he had against the Rams was an
incredible fee just showing off his athleticism.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
And when you peap the pete.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
I'm giving, I'm giving away he's in the folks, I'm
already I'm already in character for the d block. When
you look at the playoff schedule, I think that there's
a lot of opportunity for you. Here's the play right
there there, it is Look at this is producing right there.
Dumb eyes, dumbstruck when I saw him, My god, what
a great play he made. But when you look at
the playoffs schedule for him as well, George Kittle is
(19:23):
a guy that I want to be rolling with.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
It is the championship round.
Speaker 4 (19:27):
Well, I'm looking to try and add Devon ah Chan
understanding that you're going to have to give something up
of value to get a guy like this. But there
might be a manager in your league whose team is
sort of fading that has Devon a Chan and not
a whole lot else. Bona fide workhorse back getting almost
eighty percent of the snaps, two thirds of the rushing attempts,
almost a twenty five percent target cheer mean, when they're
(19:48):
throwing the ball, it tends to be Jalen Waddle and
Devon Ah Chang getting a lot of those opportunities. If
you can't trust anything else in this Miami offense, you know,
you can trust a Chan. You look down the stretch,
it's either teams with bad defenses or tea without a
lot to play for, or maybe both. I mean the Commanders,
the Saints, Jets, Steelers, Bengals and Bucks. The rest of
the season, Devian e Chan is a huge smash spot.
Speaker 2 (20:09):
I think, yeah, get Davina Chan if you can, and
also trade for AJ Brown.
Speaker 1 (20:13):
Do it now.
Speaker 3 (20:14):
But by this time he could.
Speaker 2 (20:16):
Even help you by tweeting some innocuous thing, and that's
going to cause people to go bananas. The Eagles are
going to be fine. They're gonna throw to AJ. He's
gonna score touchdowns. He's on fourteen points and eighty receiving
yards in two of the last three games. Everything will
ultimately be all right. And this is one of those
maybe above the line situations where you're looking for fantasy
managers who are below the line, who haven't necessarily gotten
(20:36):
the production that they're going to need to get into
the playoffs. Maybe they'd be willing to ship a J.
Brown because they can't afford to wait for the Eagles
to turn things around. And they saw Lane Johnson living
around last night. That's given them concern as well. But
if we want to get talent, we have to give
talent who were trading away.
Speaker 3 (20:52):
It's tough to say that Kamani Vitel is a player
that would I would be looking to trade away.
Speaker 1 (20:57):
I was going to say that we made him.
Speaker 3 (20:59):
We made this Montevidell show of record last year, celebrating
the fact that he's at least seventeen Fantasy points in
three out of his last five games, really coming along
as a running back the kind of expectations we had
going into last season. But here's the thing. Week twelve
is the Chargers. By after that, Week thirteen is a
potential landing spot for Marion Hampton to return to this team.
(21:22):
So if you could catch some unsuspecting fantasy manager not
thinking so far ahead and just looking at the most
recent production, you might be able to swing a deal
and feel like, hey, I'm giving up something of value, Wall,
You're actually probably giving up a complimentary piece.
Speaker 4 (21:39):
I think you can say something similar about Courtland Sutton
there in Denver.
Speaker 1 (21:42):
We're on the.
Speaker 4 (21:43):
Surface, he looks like he's still the wide receiver one,
but you look over the last few weeks and you
have to ask yourself whether or not Troy Franklin has
surpassed him in the pecking order there. Franklin's out targeted
Sutton thirty seven to twenty six over the last four weeks.
Andy passing in that has sort of been inconsistent, but
think there's some name value there. There's still going to
be some production there. But it does look like bow knicks.
(22:04):
It's starting to spread the ball around. Schedule's not great.
Its still two games against the Chiefs, including one in
championship week. They've got the Packers, they got the Jaguars
in the playoffs. So Sutton is a guy who maybe
helped you do some things early in the season, but
it might be time at this point to say goodbye.
Speaker 1 (22:19):
I think it's time to.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
Think about to a guy who has had the statistical success,
and that is Theo Johnson, who scored two or more
points in five of the last seven games. He's got
the fifth most receiving touchdowns. In fact, every single one
of those touchdowns, which is the problem, has come from
Jackson Dart, who's currently in the league's concussion protocol.
Speaker 1 (22:36):
They had coached it was scheming things up.
Speaker 2 (22:38):
For the ricky quarterback, using in the run game, creating space,
not just for the offense, but for THEO. Johnson has
just been fired. And so all of that change maybe
allows you to look to a fantasy manager who is
in need of a tight end, who believes that the
production will stay there. For THEO Johnson, you can flip
him for a player that you would like to have.
So those are our players to trade four and to
(22:58):
trade away. This season's heating up, but prices are cooling down.

Speaker 1 (23:11):
Terms and embargoes apply. It's time now for my five.
Speaker 4 (23:16):
And you know the thing you do when you look
at the clock and it says eleven eleven and you
make a wish. Well doing the same thing, because the
calendar today says eleven eleven here on the eleventh day
of the eleventh month. So for that reason, I've got
my five wishes four week eleven.
Speaker 1 (23:32):
See will start at number five. Where give us Jamis Winston,
you coward said, come on, we see.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
The Jackson dart is in concussion protocol dealing with concussion symptoms.
And yes it was Russell Wilson who took over last week.
But we need a backup quarterback who understands the assignment.
See what Joe Flacco, Jacoby Brissett and Davis Mills have done.
Just throw it to your good players, and I'm not
sure Russell Wilson is that guy. Look, we're not starting
a Giants quarterback anyway, so my KAFA, give us somebody
that can keep Wondale Robinson and Darius Slayton viable at
(24:03):
number four erin Glynn.
Speaker 1 (24:06):
Just pick a quarterback already.
Speaker 4 (24:07):
I mean, we're gonna keep up this nonsense of hiding
your starting quarterback. Neither Justin Fields nor Tyrod Taylor causing
defensive coordinators any sleepless nights.
Speaker 1 (24:16):
Their skill sets are.
Speaker 4 (24:17):
Actually, they're not so vastly different that you're gonna scrap
your game plan because one or the other is getting
the start.
Speaker 1 (24:23):
Plus, I don't want to wait all week.
Speaker 4 (24:25):
If I can decide to start a quarterback who might
give me twenty points or he might give me four.
Just tell us now, stop the hemming and hauling and
let me decide before Sunday morning at number three, Stay.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
Hot, Caleb Williams.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
I was one of those folks out there who predict
that you would break that four thousand yard ceiling for
the Bears franchise.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
We are on pace right now, so just keep up
the good work.
Speaker 4 (24:48):
But more importantly, GiB has been a solid QB one
with a stable floor. He's got five games of nineteen
or more fantasy points. Also, he leads all quarterbacks in
receptions and receiving yards, so he's a true PPR quarterback
if you're into that sort of thing. At number two, Falcons,
stop with you, Tyler Algier, madness. The contrast between Jonathan
(25:08):
Taylor and Bejon Robinson was on full display in Berlin.
Taylor gets eighty five percent of the rushing attempts compared
to less than seventy percent for Robinson. Taylor gets seventy
five percent of the work inside the five yard line.
That's zero percent for Jon Robinson this season. Rahie Morris,
if you really think Bjeon Robinson is the best player
in the NFL, why are you treating him like a
(25:30):
platoon back.
Speaker 1 (25:31):
I know you like Tyler.
Speaker 4 (25:32):
Aljier enough already give us the full Jeon Robinson treatment.
And at number one, it's time to end the Shanahanigans.
Rock Perty has a real chance to play next week
for like the seventh week in a row.
Speaker 1 (25:45):
Ricky Pearsall could be.
Speaker 4 (25:46):
Back at practice after he checks out of his Airbnb
in the shadow realm Randon night you got. My fantasy
roster is like the hand towels in the guest bathroom.
They're nice to look at, but they're unusable. Kyle Shanahan,
I am begging you deep from the heart of all
fantasy managers.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Please stop giving us fake injury updates. Please.
Speaker 4 (26:06):
That's all that's got me worked up. Prior has worked
up as Patrick though, please take it away.
Speaker 2 (26:11):
Yeah, Marcus, Shananigan's are the worst, especially when you're consistently
losing at fantasy football and you're looking for help because
your players are undermining you every single week. I have
a long commute, a long telecommute over to Orange County
to get some assistance to try to feel a little
bit better. But my therapist has passed me on to
his nephew. I think he calls everybody unk. But either way,
(26:32):
the kids are all about streaming nowadays, and one streamer
that did nothing for me was justin Jefferson. Now know
you got a twitch channel, j Jay, I'm over here
twitching watching you getting outscored by Jalen Naylor seven points.
Seven fantasy points is not why I drafted you in
the top five of my fantasy football draft.
Speaker 1 (26:51):
The wide receiver forty two forty two targets isn't helping you.
Speaker 2 (26:54):
To stop telling me about opportunity and tell me about points.
Speaker 1 (26:58):
Honey, what I feel you, old head.
Speaker 3 (27:01):
Justin Jefferson has lost that raise no cap and anytime
I see JJ McCarthy, I'm like, no way to do this, show,
sus but big yikes. But Justin Jefferson he's slayed before,
and the thing that he's not gonna do it against
the Bears.
Speaker 1 (27:14):
This week, you're just delulu. So here's what you're gonna do.
Speaker 3 (27:18):
You're gonna go out and you're gonna start him because
this matchup is busting.
Speaker 1 (27:23):
The glow up about to happen.
Speaker 3 (27:25):
So when it comes to Justin Jefferson, Boomer, you need
a chill bruh.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
I understood some of that, young man, and what you
said made a little bit of sense. And then I'm
thinking about California and how chill it is and how
fun it is.
Speaker 1 (27:39):
But there was a game in so.
Speaker 3 (27:40):
Far Stadium and to Caitlyn Metcalf, you.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Did absolutely nothing.
Speaker 2 (27:44):
Do not talk to me about where the targets were going,
how you could have had touchdowns if your a quarterback
could put it within your vicinity. You are a large
intimidating person. You go up to him and just say,
I know you made a lot of personnel decisions in
the past. Want to make the decision to throw me
the football where I can get it, gets a point,
that's all you him.
Speaker 3 (28:04):
Hold up there, Brashmy, why are you so salty with DK?
Dude is eight in the pat like almost literally, he's
eight in the past. But you know what, no cap,
he's been down a little bit. But here's the thing.
His quarterback is giving me the egg. And if I'm
about to spill the tea on this quarterback, I'm gonna
say that he regrets his decision to come back and
play in the NFL.
Speaker 1 (28:23):
But one thing he.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Won't regret is going up against the Cincinnati Bengals. This
is this matchup is so dank. He's gonna go out
there and absolutely slay. So when it comes to DK Metcalf,
you got a chill, br.
Speaker 2 (28:37):
You know it's the dankness has somehow convinced me. Thank
you so much for providing me with that wisdom. It's
about being consistent. Like like everybody said, Jailor Hurts is
gonna be consistent.
Speaker 1 (28:50):
You're gonna get.
Speaker 2 (28:51):
Twenty points the moment they step off the bus.
Speaker 1 (28:53):
Well, why didn't I get those points? I got twelve
fantasy points for Jailer Hurts.
Speaker 2 (28:57):
And don't give me some sort of hurtzy and philosophy
where you can up there and look all cool and
you're like, well, winning is the only thing that we
can really care about in a universe that's constantly striving
to push against this.
Speaker 1 (29:07):
Jalen, I don't care. I don't care. I want to
win fantasy games. You're not doing that for me, So
I'm done. I'm out.
Speaker 2 (29:14):
Jalen Hurts, get me another quarterback this instance, because I'll
be honest, this rant is sending me like absolutely, I
get it.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
Jalen Hurts ghosted a lot of us, but sheee all
you chew GI fantasy guys do find this sus, But
that ain't it. Chief Now this week he was a
quarterback eighteen and mostly I hope he's somewhere around quarterback
six seven. This is one game in the wind to
the snell at Green Bay. And by the way, who
wants to go to Green Bay anyways? That place is
(29:43):
totally sus totally itch. All they do out there is
sit there and eat cheese. But this week he's got
a much better back, he's got a much better matchup.
And if it doesn't work out, you can come clap
back on me on TikTok. But right now, Boomer, I
do know that Jalen Hurts is going to go out
there and slay. And you know what, when it comes
to Jalen Hurts, you got a chimp bro.
Speaker 2 (30:05):
Thank you so much, young man. You know my consternation
was quite shooky. But we look forward to building together
and not tweeting at fantasy football players because they want
to score.
Speaker 1 (30:18):
That's not it. That's not it. It's giving the ick
when you do that.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
When we come back here on NFL Fantasy Live, Derreck
Henry has fallen from last year's.
Speaker 1 (30:28):
RB four to the RB seventeen.
Speaker 2 (30:30):
Are we feeling a turnaround in the back half of
the season for Baltimore's superstar.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
It's a week eleven.

This week, the honor goes to Falcons wide receiver Darnell Mooney.
Mooney traveled four thy, seven hundred and thirteen miles from
(31:16):
Atlanta to Berlin on Sunday, and once he got there,
he did a little sightseeing at the Olympic Stadium on
twenty one yards worth of running. All that for just
one seventeen yard catch. It's not very good in fantasy,
but at least he got those frequent flyer miles as
well as some cardio in in Berlin. Congratulations to Darnell Mooney.
(31:38):
It's time for us to get away from things like
stats for the Cardio King and all that information and
go purely just vibes as we're looking forward to the
rest of the NFL season. Marcus scrant no stats, give
us your vibes here in Week eleven.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
Well, I take no pleasure in stating this, but I
think we have to be on the lookout for the
Derrick Henry decline. I think we just watched him sort
of by the eye test. I know the number haven't
been great this year, but this is not about stats,
but just sort of watch him, and he does still
have the ability to have big runs, to have big games,
and every once in a while he will still stiff
arm of defender into dust. But part of what made
him so fearsome was his ability to get downhill, get
(32:14):
that motor going, and be a guy that you didn't
want to tackle.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Except now, after so many years and so.
Speaker 4 (32:19):
Many touches, it does seem like it takes a little
bit longer for that engine to get up to full speed,
or we're just not seeing him be quite as dominant
as we have been. Then the Ravens say they want
to get Keaton Mitchell Moore involved, So I think we're
gonna have a real conversation about where we're drafting. Dereck
Henry when we start the twenty twenty sixth season.
Speaker 3 (32:34):
Yeah, it's like watching the final run of John Cena.
Still great, still enjoy everything he's doing out there, but
it's not the same scenea that we saw fifteen years ago.
A little bit different, a little a little bit different.
Speaker 1 (32:47):
I'll hold out hope. I'll hold out hope a little bit.
Speaker 3 (32:49):
I don't blame it gives your I'm still holding out
hope that we'll get another great game from twa tongue
of Ioloa this week over in Madrid. You know what
this is one of the things that we're are going
to be monitoring with Mike McDaniel is how how invested
are the players are they? Are they fighting for his job?
Are they fighting for their own jobs? Obviously this week
(33:10):
they knocked off the Buffalo Bills. They got another opportunity
here against the Commanders, and it was great listening to
Mike McDaniel and his press conference regarding the troll job
that perhaps he might or might not have driven by
the Elbow Room, which is a popular Bills bar out
there by in Miami in his neighborhood, by the way,
and he's like, you know, back in the day when
(33:30):
you saw something on the internet. You were just able
to believe it because we didn't have AI. I'm like, no,
but we had photoshop trying to sit there trying to
show photos of the locked ness. The locked ness a
lot like the Santa Ana River Monster. Yes, everybody knows that.
That's why you named their team the Highlanders. It's the
connection to all the Scottish settlers and the Ie. It
(33:56):
just makes perfect sense. It's a clear it's a clear
tie in.
Speaker 1 (34:00):
And folks, if you want to go get international legends,
check it out. Presented by net app.
Speaker 2 (34:05):
Sunday Morning Football, Rise, Shine and watch the Washington Commanders
take on to a tung Malola Devon and chan Jalen
Waddle and those Miami Dolphins who's their coach may be
doing a little.
Speaker 1 (34:16):
Referencing things.
Speaker 2 (34:17):
Sunday morning, Eastern Game Day kickoff starts at seven am
Eastern Coverage the Ball also available on NFL Plus. Uh
My vibes indicate that Dan Campbell calling plays huge for Jamo.
There was a moment before the touchdown that you just
saw where Dan Campbell calls that play immediately after he
(34:37):
gets the play call in f pumps as if he
knew the touchdown was coming. He was just excited to
get the ball to Jmo. And perhaps, uh, that's why
the offensive coordinator who was upstairs, We're trying to figure.
Speaker 1 (34:48):
Out, Hey, what would you say you do here? Jameis
Williams maybe didn't apologize.
Speaker 3 (34:53):
TPS reports as we speak.
Speaker 4 (34:56):
I mean, they look, man, we have we have those
those fantasy villains, right, those guys that are nimbus. This
is like Arthur Smith who just refused to give the
ball to their good players like Strike one for the
fantasy heroes, and Dan Campbell who actually give us some
joy on.
Speaker 1 (35:07):
A weekly basis. We appreciate that.
Speaker 2 (35:09):
Let's distribute our own little bit of joy and not
in the form of one player, but two player.
Speaker 1 (35:13):
Let's get our favorite stacks.
Speaker 2 (35:14):
So so we get the sacks on stacks on stacks
for Week eleven, Marcus, I'm.
Speaker 4 (35:18):
Gonna go to the Dallas Cowboys. They've got a game
on Monday night in Las Vegas against the Raiders. Dak
Prescott and Cede Lamb. I mean, we know how good
CD Lamb can be, has been, will be all of that,
but Dak Prescott also just slinging the ball a lot,
in part because Bo's defense gives up a lot of points,
so they have to throw the football to stay in it.
I don't know how much the Raiders are going to score,
but this could be a back and forth game. I
(35:39):
expect a lot of points. Dak and CD should eat
in Vegas.
Speaker 3 (35:42):
I'm gonna go with a triple stack. In Cincinnati, give
me Joe Flacco, Jamar Chase and T Higgins Again. We
keep celebrating these guys who throw it to the good players.
And Joe Flacco rolled into Cincinnati and they're like, here's
your playbucket. He's like, no, I only need a playbuck
I just need to know what number Chase wears. Number one, fine,
THEE Higgins number five. Perfect, That's all. I'm gonna throw
(36:04):
it too.
Speaker 1 (36:05):
I know.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
Yoshi vas is like, hey, what about me? Like, yeah,
we okay, we don't need you, sir. But he's going
out there. He's distributing the ball in a pretty good
matchup here, not Yoshimas I told you no, this is
supposed stop not you, Chase Tawkinchase brown Spine, but honestly
targeting the good players in a great game, a great
potential matchup with the Pittsburgh Steelers. I mean, you can
(36:26):
play all you want to play, everybody from this matchup
you want to sit.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
There is Lynn Swan still available.
Speaker 3 (36:31):
I'll get him into this game. Chris Collins word, let's go.
But should be a great one for all the Bengals
pass catchers.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
And I know as I take a stack where you
look at the matchup and think, oh, this is a
rough one because the Seattle Seahawks have a great defense.
This is a great game between the Rams and the Seahawks.
But don't let that scare you away from Matthew Stafford
and Pooka Nakua here in week eleven where Puka was
on like cuppish pace before he went out with the injury.
(36:58):
And we've only seen things get better with Davante Adams
in the red zone. So it's just more for Mike
mack and the Seahawks defense to figure out how they're
going to deal with the Rams, who account started this
whole personnel shift and passing out of big, big packages.
And now it's get a chance for both of these teams.
We're both doing it at a high levels. As it's
Mike McDonald's going up against Sean McVay in a battle
(37:21):
of witsword. The MVP decision could.
Speaker 3 (37:24):
Come down to this game, Like Sam Clemente Donal Sam
Donald in the discussion, They'll be celebrating at the Denny's
off of the Pico.
Speaker 1 (37:33):
Yes, dammy San Clement off of.
Speaker 2 (37:36):
Pico in San Clement and where Sam Donald played his
high school football. Oh a lot of you have fond
memories of Week ten as we get to victory Tuesday,
as we celebrate along with all of you who sent
in some tweets, starting with Bucky who never gave up
on Trayvon Rank even though we're forced to because of injuries.
Speaker 1 (37:53):
And no better off.
Speaker 3 (37:54):
No, it was run of the things. One of our
senior production officers who works here, Sammer, we're talking about
this in the Lund room yesterday about how listen, I
was going to ride it out, like I was like
if I would have lost my season because Travion Henderson
didn't come through, so be it. I've been starting him
every week. I've never given up, and it finally ten
weeks later, finally paid off.
Speaker 1 (38:15):
There you go, stick to it. This working out. The
Jordan's yelling at us, sad Marcus one, please don't yell
at me too.
Speaker 4 (38:24):
Congratulations on your excellent running backs playing excellent over the weekend.
But hey, look is Shotona Taylor is a guy that
fell down draft boards and people were sort of concerned
about it. I think they're mostly I think you just
mostly fallout from the Daniel Jones shots that people were firing.
But he's been fantastic, and vine H chan I said earlier,
he's kind of the one thing we can consistently count
on in the Miami offense. So hey, keep rolling that
(38:46):
that looks like a playoff team.
Speaker 2 (38:47):
Yeah, let's go over to Steve and who started to
Vonta Smith. He's trying to trade him to an Eagles
fan for the Vonte Adams. But yeah, he got Davonte
on Monday night. All right, I get it.
Speaker 1 (39:00):
I know that.
Speaker 3 (39:00):
Yeah, congratulations.
Speaker 1 (39:02):
That's a lot to read.
Speaker 3 (39:02):
I'm not having trouble reading all this over here, a
lot of texts. I know that some of you they've
they've expanded the capabilities here on the Twitter platform, But uh,
you don't need to take advantage of it. Because your
car goes to one fifty five doesn't mean you have
to drive one knocket matter.
Speaker 1 (39:16):
We had one hundred and forty. You had to quote.
You got to be succinct, man Kenningway.
Speaker 2 (39:21):
Let's go to Big Honest, who played Zack Charmonay and
said r J.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
Harvey but Marcus now.
Speaker 2 (39:26):
He's he's gonna flip it because r J is gonna
have no JK.
Speaker 1 (39:29):
Dobbins.
Speaker 4 (39:30):
Yeah, I mean, look it makes sense on paper. Just
you know, beware, we need a name. We got Shannon Hanigans,
we had Bellatrix when he was still in the NFL.
We need something for Sean Payton uh to just because
he leads us astray. He has bamboozled us many times,
so I understand the thought process.
Speaker 1 (39:46):
Just be prepared to have.
Speaker 2 (39:47):
Your And now Bellatrix is making some strange moves in
North Carolina. Let's go to Huge Has he got a
notification about Ernest Jones? Yes, Huge Huge Wolf is an
IDP player. We appreciate all the IDP sickles out there.
He goes with kway Walker instead. He got six point
five Fantasy points and one by five point nine eight
(40:07):
IDP for life.
Speaker 1 (40:09):
That's great.
Speaker 3 (40:10):
You're allowed to use if you play id FLEET pee leagues,
you're allowed to use that many characters. Well done, Yes,
make a lot of roster decisions.
Speaker 2 (40:17):
Our final one started Caleb over Lamar and one because
of it hashtag bare.
Speaker 1 (40:22):
Down, which gets a fist pump out of.
Speaker 4 (40:23):
This guy, Mark, what crushout out to you because that
takes some stones. I don't know that I would have
done that, but shout out to you for pulling that
off and making it happen. No, nothing but respect on
this side of the tab.
Speaker 2 (40:33):
Also been victory to celebrate because it's a two late
rushing touchdowns to get those points being on a late,
a late score.
Speaker 3 (40:41):
I was playing my friend Charlie ten in my league record,
who's a Steelers fan, and I was I was down
by a tenth of a point and I had keenan
Allen and I said, you know they're going to give
him a garbage reception, right, And he goes, I know,
And we were texting, right is the shovel pass happened?
So a double whammy for poor Charles to.
Speaker 2 (40:58):
Break it all down Chargers Record. It's Antonio Gates and
attendant tomorrow. Jimmy checks He's gonna be here in attendance.
No not Antonio, Kimmy Tex will be on the show

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
