Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, It's a Monday Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. I'm Patrick Claybann. I'll be joined by Adam
Rank and Kimmy Checks. Today we recap all the fantasy
football action from Thanksgiving, Black Friday and a full Sunday slate,
(00:22):
Plus an early look at the Week fourteen waiver wire
and what to do with Justin Jefferson and the rest
of your vikings in fantasy. All that and more as
the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast starts now, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Patrick claib On here with Adam Rank and Kimmy Checks.
We got one more game in Week thirteen and the
first of December, which means, Idam Reck, we'll have to
look at Thanksgiving direct decorations.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Why is it, Marcella here? Where is all the Christmas stuff?
Like we should have the day after Halloween? That's when
you switch it. Christmas wrapping by the waitresses starts that
night instead.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Still have luck, Kimry, this guy's anti Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That checks out for Adam Rank. You would be anti Thanksgiving.
You would be anti thankful.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We're not planning to be thankful for As we wrap
up what was a great Thanksgiving weekend in terms of football,
Let's get to the guys who were Thanksgiving weekend winners.
Some folks delivered like pie delivery services. Like the guy
who told us not to have him on our teams
in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Gim me.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I was going to say what happened to all of
us fantasy managers who dropped him when he literally said
on his stream, a podcast or whatever dropped me, I'm
not great this season, and neither is the team. It
seems like whatever complaining he has been doing, finally work.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Now back to.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Back games with one hundred plus receiving yards in three
receiving touchdowns versus just three touchdowns the first nine games.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Of course, two of those touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Came over Thanksgiving against your Chicago Bears Adam Rank, who
did deliver the win. But in terms of AJ Brown
in receptions off twelve targets, one hundred and thirty two
yards ten receptions as well, the most since Week seven
back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
A J.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Brown Welcome back to fantasy dominance. A little too late,
but I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, it's great.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Enjoy enjoy the loss and all the touchdowns whatever, whatever
works for you AJ, It's totally cool. B. John Robinson though,
monster game against the New York Jets this week, close
to or more than considering depending on your fantasy scoring situation,
thirty fantasy points. He touched the ball close to thirty times.
That's what I was sure, sort of alluding to. We've
seen the Falcons kind of bring in a lot of
(02:24):
other guys, especially with Drake London missing some time. We've
seen Tyler algyear, We've seen some other things. But no,
they were content to give the ball to Jon Robinson
close to thirty times. He had seven targets in this game,
which he turned into five receptions for fifty one yards.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And the best part is he's had five goal.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Line rushes in his last three games compared to two
in the previous nine.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That is a trend that we can get behind. It
means they're listening to the show. It is.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yes, congratulations and folks, we got another player who went
off in a loss, albeit on Thanksgiving, where she Rice
Receiver two currently put up twenty nine point four fantasy points.
Eight of his twelve targets he caught with two touchdowns.
Back to back games with twelve targets for Rice and
as long as fifteen's out there on the field, you
can expect Rice to be heavily featured. Because Mahomes had
(03:14):
almost the exact same fantasy score twenty nine point four
fantasy points, four touchdowns in a lost, his thirteenth career
game with four touchdown passes and no picks, his eighth
game with more than twenty two points this season.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
He's leading the league there, Kimmy, he is.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
But these are all big name guys.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Let's go a little bit deeper into these rosters. Shout
out to Dontavion Wis versus the Lions here during Thanksgiving
Week twenty eight fantasy points, finished as the wide receiver
number three, a career high from off of six receptions
but a nice little ninety two receiving yards and two
receiving touchdowns. He had fifty more receiving yards than his
highest previous total this season, which came all the way
(03:55):
back in Week two versus the Commanders. His first receiving
touchdown as well since Week sixteen, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
I wonder if he'll make that helps No One. I
guess we got to stay tuned for that.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
But DANTEVI on Wicks have yourself a very happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
On the other side of that game, Jamison Williams had
a monster contest. Career highs and receptions and receiving yards
targeted ten times one hundred and forty four yards on
seven receptions. He had four receptions of more than twenty yards.
Now a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Obviously. Of course, we have to recognize the fact that.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
A mon Ross Saint Brown played about four snaps before
he went out with an injury, and keep an eye
on this too as well, because the Lions are going
to be playing the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. Amon Ro
Saint Brown did not practice today, so again something that
we need to monitor. And if a mon Ros Saint
Brown is not a go, Jamison Williams is going to
(04:47):
be an excellent start this week.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
On the other sideline of that game, the Jordan love
toyotathon theory might be real. He had four touchdown passes
no picks for the first time in his career. He
improved to three and oho on Thanksgiving in his career.
There's one hundred and forty nine pass we're rating on
deep throws, the highest in the NFL right now. As
the Packers offense is starting to look really good. Twenty
five point seven fantasy points.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You want to talk about an offense that looked great,
and I don't even want.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
To talk about this, and I'm offended that you guys
gave me this one.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It was Ceede Lamb going up against the Kansas City
Chiefs on Thanksgiving. It ruined my holiday. But for all
the fantasy managers that had CD Lamb's congratulations, over twenty
four fantasy points for him, one hundred and twelve receiving yards,
and of course a touchdown. Those one hundred and twelve
receiving yards are tied for a season high this year.
He's had a receiving touchdown in two of the last
(05:37):
three games. It wasn't just Ceede Lamb. Obviously, George Pickens
had a big game as well. A big note here
is that the Chiefs defense gave up the second most
points to wide receivers here in week thirteen, with over
fifty five Fantasy points to pass catcher. So really kind
of surprisingly good matchup for CD Lamb and pure fantasy dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You want to talk about a rough weekend, gimm me
the Max Brozmer era. I go as plan for the
Vikings that could scarcely have been better for the Seahawks defense.
So they got thirty points, including four interceptions, two forced fumbles,
and a fumble recovery. Even when Riek Woollen picked off
Brozmer and fumbled the ball back to the Vikings on
that next drive, they still got two secs. It was
(06:16):
actually more points for the Seattle Seahawks defense. Congratulations for
you guys Minnesota. We will discuss more on this edition
of Fantasy Life.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, and on the nightcap on Sunday night, Terry McLaurin
returned in a big way fourteen targets, seven receptions, ninety
six yards and a touchdown. Despite the fact that there
were times where he was definitely on a pitch count.
They were trying to take him off the field to
allow him to catch his win. But every time that
he was on the field, he was out there making
huge plays. And this was his first full game back
(06:49):
since his Week two quad injury, and so this is
a bright spot too. Like for a lot of us
who have been holding on to Terry McLaurin, I almost dropped.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Him this past week because.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I'm like, gosh, I'm really tired of waiting for this.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We don't know about.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Jayden Daniels, but for those of us that I didn't
start him, so I can't really take a victory lap
on that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But those of us who held on to him, you
were rewarded.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, considering first game back with Patrick Tuttan on the
other side putting up those numbers.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Great for Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In fact, let's discuss the Washington Commanders a little bit
more as we get into some news. In case you
missed it, his quarterback Jadan Daniels has been throwing but
is not yet cleared for quote functional contact. It does
not We don't expect an official word on Jayden until Friday.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Rank.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
How do you see things looking for the commanders with
Mario to looking fairly serviceable last night?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, I thought Mariota played really well and I think
it was one of these things where the offense was clicking.
I really against a great defense too, even though he
made some mistakes here and there, there were some you know,
it's not it's not the same, clearly. But at the
same time, when I look at what the commanders are
playing for that what are the commanders playing for?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I understand why Joe Burrow returned.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Like Cincinnati is still believing or not still in the
playoff race. But in the NFC, if the Commanders have
not been eliminated yet, like they're pretty close. They have
nine losses, the number seven seed has nine wins.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
So for me, I I'm not sure what they would
be able to do. I don't know what the why you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Would want to bring him back other than just to
put him out there on the field to make our
fantasy teams better. But it'll be a decision the Commanders
have to make elsewhere a quarterback that's come dealing with
an injury and in a playoff on as well. Chargers
quarterback Justin Herbert broke a bone in his left hand
yesterday against the Raiders. He only missed one series for
LA before coming back with a padded glove. He's having
(08:38):
a procedure on that finger today.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He expected to be ready for the next game coming
up Monday night against Philly and Kimmy even though it's
on his non throwing hand. Any concerns about Herbo against Philly.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, I mean, I don't love this.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Harball also said today following the surgery on Justin Herbert
that Tree Lance was going to get first team reps
on the goal line here in practice this week in
case he needs to get called up against the Eagles.
But the reality is that Justin and Herbert in terms
of fantasy has just kind of sputtered the past few weeks.
He's had just three passing touchdowns over the last two
games in comparison to two plus touchdowns in each of
(09:13):
the previous four games. The main thing with all this, too,
is just the amount of sacks. He's actually the third
most sacked quarterback this season, behind just cam Ward and
Gino Smith thirty eight times. Their offensive line is really
banged up when you don't have for Sean Slater and
Joe Alt and you're missing some other pieces there with
some other guys injured, I don't think this means anything
good for fantasy managers. So if there's a better option
(09:34):
at quarterback, I take that. I think this Justin Herbert news,
if anything, just means even more upside for all the
managers who have Kamani Vidal in their lineups.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Let's go back to Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
A rough day for the Vikings included a reaggravation of
existing shoulder injury for Aaron Jones, which kept him out
of the fourth quarter on Sunday. Still waiting updates, and
the team does expect JJ McCarthy back next week. All
things considered. Rereg where are you right now on Jordan Mason.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, I if he gets an opportunity to be
the solo starter, I kind of like it. He's averaged
over fourteen Fantasy points per game in the four contests
without Aaron Jones. Even in this one yesterday he did
get six attempts. He had forty seven rushing yards on
six attempts. There is some ability there, and I think
that for fantasy managers it's a much much easier predicament
(10:21):
when there's just.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
One of them.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
We only have to rely on one of them.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And I think that when JJ McCarthy comes back this
week too, that's obviously going to help it out. I
know that everybody's out on JJ McCarthy. I don't think
it's his dire as just looks so far this season.
There will be some opportunities for them to get a
little bit better. They were going up against a really
good defense. So I'm going to play this by year,
and if Jordan Mason is there without Aaron Jones, I
would consider him a flex.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Option goes to the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
They finished their context contest with the Bucks on Sunday
with autor. Top wide out Marvin Harrison Junior, who left
well the heel injury in his first game back after
missing a couple of games due to appendix surgery. Also
waiting news on his prognosis, but does open the door
for Michael Wilson to get back to being the top
receiver in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Gimme yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Speaking of that, Patrick, in the two games without Marvin
Harrison Junior on the field this season, he's had twenty
five receptions in three hundred and three yards.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
It's the simple mathm I had.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's like twelve and a half receptions a game, one
hundred and fifty yards a piece, over twenty seven Fantasy
points in those games. But when Harrison is on the field,
that's when I think you take a major fade for
Michael Wilson. He's averaging less than six fantasy points with Harrison,
So really the upside for him is if Marvin Harrison
is on the field, then you don't necessarily want to
(11:36):
go with Michael Wilson.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think you have too much to lose here. Just
late in the fantasy season.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
But if Harrison for some reason is out this week,
I think Michael Wilson has a really started solid excuse me,
lest option.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well, let's skip ahead to a preview for Tuesday night
Wednesday morning. I'll look at the waiver wire. Who are
you targeting right now here on Monday night, Jimmy.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Ooh, early waiver wire.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We talked about so many rookie at the start of
this season, but a rookie.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
That was nowhere on our radar was Jaden Higgins. And
I think he's a.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Really good ad for the Houston Texans this week as
they face kind of tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
But he seems to establish himself as the number two
wide receiver on this offense with twenty two excuse me,
twenty three targets in his last three games. Most importantly,
he's still available in about ninety five percent of NFL
dot Com leagues four receiving touchdowns this season, which is
(12:26):
tied for most on the team. That's why I'm so
surprised he's still so widely available. And I mentioned this
earlier when we were talking about standout performances during Thanksgiving
weekend of ceede lamb the Chiefs defense. They just gave
up over fifty five Fantasy points combined to opposing wide receivers.
So while on paper, I think we get scared of
the Chiefs defense, Jaden Higgins, if he is an AD
(12:48):
for you on the waiver wire, I do think he's
somebody you could potentially slot in and play this week,
but rest a season, A really good guy to have
on your squad.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'm gonna go with ed Night Mitchell, who had over
twenty four Fantasy points on a Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons,
and I don't think he's going to go out there
and score twenty four Fantasy points each and every week.
But before you dismiss this, before you just cast this aside,
you need to realize it. Since he has joined the
Jets in Week eleven, he leads a team in targets,
receiving yards, red zone targets, end zone targets, so the
(13:19):
volume is there.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Again, this is not going to be a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
This twenty four point production is not going to be
sustainable each and every week.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But as a volume play.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The number one target of Tyrod Taylor, I am looking
at ad Mitchell. If I need wide receiver help this
week with four teams on a buy well reck, if I.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Need a tight end, I'm doing what Trevor Lawrence is
doing and looking in the direction of Britain Strange as
he goes throw to the Jags. He's back and the
points are back up for the team. He's scoring as well,
ten or more points in the four of the last
five games that he's played. In terms of receptions per game,
he's tied for the lead on the team. He was
the te seven this week and right now was available
(13:57):
in eighty two percent of leagues on NFL dot Com.
So I think a lot of folks are going to
be going to Briton Strange over the week. Still ahead
here on fantasy if remember mid season Fantasy Rookie of
the Year, I'm not gonna Buka Well, yes, since one touchdown,
since we gave.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Them that honor, that's our bad. Put it on us.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But is it time to panic on Tampa's sounds and
rookie panic or patients coming up next?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
NFL players are wearing custom cleats through might cause my
cleats to spotlight the causes closest to their hearts. Visit
NFL dot com. Slash might cause my cleats to learn
their stories, bid on their cleats, and support the charities
making a difference in communities.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
It is signed for panic or patients.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Here on NFL Fantasy Live, I will reach into this
spectacular cornucopia to reveal the panic button, which lets Fantasy
managers all over the world, including the ones watching us
without the volume on, know how much they should panic
regarding some of the Fantasy star that.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Have been holding down spots poorly on their team.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And we will start with the button going to Adam
Ray right as rico' donalds tom as the bell cow.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Appears to be over. Are you panicking on the Panthers
star running back?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know what? A lot of people, there's a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
One guy yesterday asked me, He's like, what is that
earthquake segment that you guys do? Because I'm gonna sit there,
I'm gonna see that pan of bud and I'm not
going to press it. I'm not going to press it
for Rico O'Donnell, He's going to be just fine. Like
he is still a very viable part of this rushing offense.
He nearly had double digit Fantasy points on a Sunday, but.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Still he played.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's played sixty eight percent of the snaps since Week five.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
He had seventy plus scrimmage yards in seven of his
last nine games, six games with at least twenty touches
since becoming the start.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Like, there's so many.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Reasons why you should continue to rely on ric o' donald.
I think that the floor is what you see right there.
It's about ten fantasy points. If he gets into the
end zone, it's gonna end up being a great day.
But this was the guy that you picked up most
like off the waiver wire, and he's been doing a
great job for you, So I would continue to roll
with him, although I do believe the Panthers are on
a buy this week.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Okay, let's go Kimmy to the wide receiver one for
a lot of folks. It's justin Jefferson almost went catchless yesterday.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
The offense looked rough. Are you pressing the panic button?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Rough?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Is is that like a Simpoles were to say? You know,
it was absolutely horrific. It was a businal rank. I
want you and we need to go crazy because Patrick
hit that button.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
We are panicking, We're on Justin Jefferson. What is going on?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
If you look at his ADP and where all of
us took him really as probably most.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Likely bed beyond behind. I came to talk. I'm so panic.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Jamar Chase as the top receiving option in fantasy football,
his stat line abysmal career low of four receiving yards
off of six targets, just two receptions and two point
four fantasy points. This is a career low for him
in terms of receiving yard and the second time this
season where a Vikings receiver has six plus targets and
then fewer than five receiving yards in a game.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
If you look at this offense.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
In total, they've had more turnovers than points scored the
last two games.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Unfortunately, for all of us.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Who thought Justin Jefferson was going to be vintage, this
year's twenty twenty five Vikings team is not.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It So bummer, Yeah, it's it's been a rough situation
for the Minnesota Vikings. I'll take the next one, and
it's unfortunately time to discuss Lamar Jackson, who's gone three
straight games without a touchdown pass after having thirty in
a row, but if you paid attention to the game,
there are actually two touchdown passes that didn't count for
various reasons, but it was still.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Against something goes.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That things that in Baltimore fount You hate to have
injury related panics, and we try to avoid that on
the show.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But that's a part of it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And also I'm not sure if the Ravens somehow secure
a playoff spot within the fantasy play considering the way
the rest of the division is going, if the best
course of action would been for them to not play
Lamar at all, and so the sure thing twenty plus
fantasy points that we've been able to bank on for
(18:13):
the better part of the last decade, it's a rough spot.
So I'm gonna say, yeah, I'm panicking all Lamar Jackson
in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Let's go to another really good player. Who are we
going with? A Mecca Boo, I'm packing.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm panicking because my foot hurts so bad. I can't
even concentrate on what I'm trying to say. But I
do remember somebody on this show a few weeks ago,
when we were doing a trade away segment, saying, this
should be the time that you get away from a
Mecca Abuka because we've seen this time and time again
from wide receivers who thank you so much, who have
(18:54):
torn it up in the early part of the season,
but they always seem to fade away a little bit.
Number one, you roll coverages there. I think a Mecca
a Bouquet is now the number one guy in Tampa Bay.
And without Mike Evans and Chris Scott, well, Chris god
Win's back. Without Mike Evans there, it's easier to be like, look,
this is the guy that we need to shut down.
And you know what, coming into the NFL, it's different
(19:14):
from going from a twelve game college season to playing
what is it, thirty games in the NFL now, seventeen
games seventy eighteen weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So the big adjustment we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Have to make an adjustment in terms of how we
expect from the wide receiver one right now, Jackson Smith
and Jigma was the wide receiver sixty four.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Kimmy, are you panicking on JSN.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, no no, and anybody
who is actually panicked, you're won a weirdo into just
the season because this is just the first game for him.
This year with fewer than thirteen fantasy points. I think
that's absolutely fine. He's got eight different games this year
in opposition of what I just said, with over one
hundred plus receiving yards. He is one hundred and ninety
(19:58):
four more receiving yards than any player in the NFL,
point blank period, twenty plus fantasy points in each of
the previous seven games, and really good Week fourteen matchups
going up against the Atlanta Falcons, who are top five
in the most fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers
the past four weeks. So absolutely no panic. One bad
game from JSN.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You're fine, Tolly, Okay, let's be rational about this in
the panic or Patients segment. The twenty twenty six NFL
Pro Bowl Vote presented by Jersey Mike's is open and
the roster is up to you now through December fifteenth.

(20:38):
Time for our weekly stockwatch here on NFL Fantasy Live
stock Ups stock down kenmy text.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Let's get a stock up and a stock.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Down as we evaluate the markets here before Week fourteen
gets going.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Rankery I love my stock up because you called this.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't even want to give you a humble brag,
But Kyle mnung Gui, he's still only rustered in about
forty percent of NFL dot com leagues, which is crazy
because the snapcount has increased in three straight games this season.
The Chicago Bears currently have the six highest rush percentage
in the league this season, and they're facing the Packers
this week in Week fourteen, who are top ten and
most fantasy points allowed to running backs.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Of course, the past four.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Games the Kyle Mnungai welcome to Fantasy Dominance guy, and
then my stock downs. Sorry, just got so excited. It's
sadly going to be Zay Flowers. It's wild that he's
still the Ravens leading pass catcher by over four hundred
and thirty five yards. But the same way that we
were panicking about Lamar Jackson this season, I think we
can panic about Zay Flowers.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Not even a.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Singular fantasy point against the Bengals in Week thirteen. The
Ravens zero passing touchdowns.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
In three straight games. Stock all the way down. I'm
out on Zay.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, that was a rough one for the Ravens. On Thanksgiving,
let's go over to your stock evaluations.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Mister, right, well, I am not going to stock up
to Dak Prescott, who is tied for the NFL league
with lead with eight games with the leads twenty fantasy
points this season. And this is personal to me because
I have Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott on a lot
of teams.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I ended up with this and it needs to be
automatic like Lamar, Lamar and Lamar.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But as you were talking about a moment ago, it
now has come to the point where I'm gonna start
Dak and I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna
weigh it. I'm just gonna start Dak from here on out.
But if stock down for me is going to be
Jalen Waddle, a player that I really wanted to step up,
especially when Tyreek Hill went down, but it just hasn't
been there. He's had fewer than nine fantasy points in
back to back games, that's the first time this season.
(22:30):
But he's had one hundred receiving yards only twice in
his last twenty six games.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So the stock is clearly going down. Patrick.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Let's go to a wide receiver in Florida whose stock
is going up, and I will take Jacoby Myers as
much stock up because the trade was great for Jacoby
Myers and the Jacksonville Jaguars. He called all six of
his targets, including their career long fifty yarder that would
follow up with a touchdown catch. He's had six or
more targets in three straight games and that comes with
BTJ Beck in the lineup, So it appears the floor
(22:59):
has been lablished and unfortunately the stocks going down for
DK Metcalf, who has had ten or more fantasy points
in one of the last five games. He caught three
passes for thirty two yards. He wasn't on the same
page as his quarterback, and they're talking about meetings now
in Pittsburgh, So that's a sign that things are growing
great over there for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Signed for our.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Data deep Dive because the fantasy tool on NFL Pro
Kimmy gives us so many great statistical nuggets that we
can't help but to share with the people.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
What would you like to show them that you saw
this weekend?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Okay, So Devon h Chan, we know he's been really
dominant this season. I know we were talking about how
much he's actually stepped up instead of Jalen Waddell in
the passing game. But looking at his explosive runs this season,
you see it right there. Thirty two explosive runs. That's
just one behind Jonathan Taylor. So as much as a
conversation we've had about Jonathan Taylor being an MVP caliber
(23:54):
player this year, Devon h Chan kind of deserves the
exact same accolades and praise. Meanwhile, on the defensive side
of the ball, let's get a defensive player and here
Patrick Derek Stingley Junior Week thirteen. He allowed one singular
target in zero receptions on twenty eight coverage snatch.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
That is mind boggling.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
This is a fifth game of the season allowing fewer
than ten different yards in coverage.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
He was matched up against Michael Pittman.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Junior nine times and then Alec Pierce eight times. True
lockdown corner status for Stingley, who now this week faces
the Kansas City Chiefs, and for any fantasy managers that
maybe have forshe Rice or even Travis Kelcey or Xavier Worthy.
Xavier Worthy leads the Chiefs with one hundred and ninety
perimeter routes this season, which is where we see Stingley
(24:41):
lockdown the most. So just burd of the wise looking
ahead to week Derek Stingley junior lockdown quarter status this season.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and folks want to know how Shadur Sanders is doing.
We know Derek Singley has been good relatives to the
rest of the NFL. Here's how much better Shador is
in lung capacity than the rest of his Browns teammates.
He has four completions of thirty or more yards in
two starts.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
The rest of the Browns quarterbacks, including.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Joe Flacco, has two this season, so he's doubled everybody
through two games. And speaking of changes being good for
certain stats, ad Ni Mitchell has more the second most
are yards in the entire NFL since Week eleven. Those
are the type of stuff you can get on NFL
Plus Premium and get NFL Pro where you can do
your very.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Own data deep dive.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You also can get your own fantasy AI assistant to
make lineup decisions as well. It might even make you
feel a little bit better about your fantasy team. Thanks
for tuning into the Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. We'll be back tomorrow to recap the Monday
night game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Wow, I don't me
Wow, It's a Monday Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. I'm Patrick Claybann. I'll be joined by Adam
Rank and Kimmy Checks. Today we recap all the fantasy
football action from Thanksgiving, Black Friday and a full Sunday slate,
(00:22):
Plus an early look at the Week fourteen waiver wire
and what to do with Justin Jefferson and the rest
of your vikings in fantasy. All that and more as
the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast starts now, everybody.
Speaker 2 (00:34):
Welcome to NFL Fantasy Live.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
Patrick claib On here with Adam Rank and Kimmy Checks.
We got one more game in Week thirteen and the
first of December, which means, Idam Reck, we'll have to
look at Thanksgiving direct decorations.
Speaker 3 (00:45):
Why is it, Marcella here? Where is all the Christmas stuff?
Like we should have the day after Halloween? That's when
you switch it. Christmas wrapping by the waitresses starts that
night instead.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
Still have luck, Kimry, this guy's anti Thanksgiving.
Speaker 4 (01:00):
That checks out for Adam Rank. You would be anti Thanksgiving.
You would be anti thankful.
Speaker 1 (01:06):
We're not planning to be thankful for As we wrap
up what was a great Thanksgiving weekend in terms of football,
Let's get to the guys who were Thanksgiving weekend winners.
Some folks delivered like pie delivery services. Like the guy
who told us not to have him on our teams
in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (01:20):
Gim me.
Speaker 4 (01:21):
I was going to say what happened to all of
us fantasy managers who dropped him when he literally said
on his stream, a podcast or whatever dropped me, I'm
not great this season, and neither is the team. It
seems like whatever complaining he has been doing, finally work.
Speaker 5 (01:34):
Now back to.
Speaker 4 (01:35):
Back games with one hundred plus receiving yards in three
receiving touchdowns versus just three touchdowns the first nine games.
Speaker 6 (01:42):
Of course, two of those touchdowns.
Speaker 4 (01:43):
Came over Thanksgiving against your Chicago Bears Adam Rank, who
did deliver the win. But in terms of AJ Brown
in receptions off twelve targets, one hundred and thirty two
yards ten receptions as well, the most since Week seven
back in twenty twenty three.
Speaker 3 (01:58):
A J.
Speaker 6 (01:59):
Brown Welcome back to fantasy dominance. A little too late,
but I'll take it.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
No, it's great.
Speaker 3 (02:03):
Enjoy enjoy the loss and all the touchdowns whatever, whatever
works for you AJ, It's totally cool. B. John Robinson though,
monster game against the New York Jets this week, close
to or more than considering depending on your fantasy scoring situation,
thirty fantasy points. He touched the ball close to thirty times.
That's what I was sure, sort of alluding to. We've
seen the Falcons kind of bring in a lot of
(02:24):
other guys, especially with Drake London missing some time. We've
seen Tyler algyear, We've seen some other things. But no,
they were content to give the ball to Jon Robinson
close to thirty times. He had seven targets in this game,
which he turned into five receptions for fifty one yards.
Speaker 2 (02:40):
And the best part is he's had five goal.
Speaker 3 (02:44):
Line rushes in his last three games compared to two
in the previous nine.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
That is a trend that we can get behind. It
means they're listening to the show. It is.
Speaker 1 (02:53):
Yes, congratulations and folks, we got another player who went
off in a loss, albeit on Thanksgiving, where she Rice
Receiver two currently put up twenty nine point four fantasy points.
Eight of his twelve targets he caught with two touchdowns.
Back to back games with twelve targets for Rice and
as long as fifteen's out there on the field, you
can expect Rice to be heavily featured. Because Mahomes had
(03:14):
almost the exact same fantasy score twenty nine point four
fantasy points, four touchdowns in a lost, his thirteenth career
game with four touchdown passes and no picks, his eighth
game with more than twenty two points this season.
Speaker 5 (03:28):
He's leading the league there, Kimmy, he is.
Speaker 6 (03:31):
But these are all big name guys.
Speaker 4 (03:32):
Let's go a little bit deeper into these rosters. Shout
out to Dontavion Wis versus the Lions here during Thanksgiving
Week twenty eight fantasy points, finished as the wide receiver
number three, a career high from off of six receptions
but a nice little ninety two receiving yards and two
receiving touchdowns. He had fifty more receiving yards than his
highest previous total this season, which came all the way
(03:55):
back in Week two versus the Commanders. His first receiving
touchdown as well since Week sixteen, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 6 (04:01):
I wonder if he'll make that helps No One. I
guess we got to stay tuned for that.
Speaker 4 (04:05):
But DANTEVI on Wicks have yourself a very happy Thanksgiving.
Speaker 3 (04:09):
On the other side of that game, Jamison Williams had
a monster contest. Career highs and receptions and receiving yards
targeted ten times one hundred and forty four yards on
seven receptions. He had four receptions of more than twenty yards.
Now a lot of it.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
Obviously. Of course, we have to recognize the fact that.
Speaker 3 (04:27):
A mon Ross Saint Brown played about four snaps before
he went out with an injury, and keep an eye
on this too as well, because the Lions are going
to be playing the Dallas Cowboys on Thursday. Amon Ro
Saint Brown did not practice today, so again something that
we need to monitor. And if a mon Ros Saint
Brown is not a go, Jamison Williams is going to
(04:47):
be an excellent start this week.
Speaker 1 (04:48):
On the other sideline of that game, the Jordan love
toyotathon theory might be real. He had four touchdown passes
no picks for the first time in his career. He
improved to three and oho on Thanksgiving in his career.
There's one hundred and forty nine pass we're rating on
deep throws, the highest in the NFL right now. As
the Packers offense is starting to look really good. Twenty
five point seven fantasy points.
Speaker 4 (05:10):
You want to talk about an offense that looked great,
and I don't even want.
Speaker 6 (05:14):
To talk about this, and I'm offended that you guys
gave me this one.
Speaker 4 (05:16):
It was Ceede Lamb going up against the Kansas City
Chiefs on Thanksgiving. It ruined my holiday. But for all
the fantasy managers that had CD Lamb's congratulations, over twenty
four fantasy points for him, one hundred and twelve receiving yards,
and of course a touchdown. Those one hundred and twelve
receiving yards are tied for a season high this year.
He's had a receiving touchdown in two of the last
(05:37):
three games. It wasn't just Ceede Lamb. Obviously, George Pickens
had a big game as well. A big note here
is that the Chiefs defense gave up the second most
points to wide receivers here in week thirteen, with over
fifty five Fantasy points to pass catcher. So really kind
of surprisingly good matchup for CD Lamb and pure fantasy dominant.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
You want to talk about a rough weekend, gimm me
the Max Brozmer era. I go as plan for the
Vikings that could scarcely have been better for the Seahawks defense.
So they got thirty points, including four interceptions, two forced fumbles,
and a fumble recovery. Even when Riek Woollen picked off
Brozmer and fumbled the ball back to the Vikings on
that next drive, they still got two secs. It was
(06:16):
actually more points for the Seattle Seahawks defense. Congratulations for
you guys Minnesota. We will discuss more on this edition
of Fantasy Life.
Speaker 3 (06:26):
Yeah, and on the nightcap on Sunday night, Terry McLaurin
returned in a big way fourteen targets, seven receptions, ninety
six yards and a touchdown. Despite the fact that there
were times where he was definitely on a pitch count.
They were trying to take him off the field to
allow him to catch his win. But every time that
he was on the field, he was out there making
huge plays. And this was his first full game back
(06:49):
since his Week two quad injury, and so this is
a bright spot too. Like for a lot of us
who have been holding on to Terry McLaurin, I almost dropped.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Him this past week because.
Speaker 3 (07:00):
I'm like, gosh, I'm really tired of waiting for this.
Speaker 2 (07:02):
We don't know about.
Speaker 3 (07:03):
Jayden Daniels, but for those of us that I didn't
start him, so I can't really take a victory lap
on that.
Speaker 2 (07:08):
But those of us who held on to him, you
were rewarded.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Yeah, considering first game back with Patrick Tuttan on the
other side putting up those numbers.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Great for Terry McLaurin.
Speaker 1 (07:17):
In fact, let's discuss the Washington Commanders a little bit
more as we get into some news. In case you
missed it, his quarterback Jadan Daniels has been throwing but
is not yet cleared for quote functional contact. It does
not We don't expect an official word on Jayden until Friday.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
Rank.
Speaker 1 (07:34):
How do you see things looking for the commanders with
Mario to looking fairly serviceable last night?
Speaker 3 (07:39):
Yeah, I thought Mariota played really well and I think
it was one of these things where the offense was clicking.
I really against a great defense too, even though he
made some mistakes here and there, there were some you know,
it's not it's not the same, clearly. But at the
same time, when I look at what the commanders are
playing for that what are the commanders playing for?
Speaker 5 (07:57):
Now?
Speaker 2 (07:57):
I understand why Joe Burrow returned.
Speaker 3 (08:00):
Like Cincinnati is still believing or not still in the
playoff race. But in the NFC, if the Commanders have
not been eliminated yet, like they're pretty close. They have
nine losses, the number seven seed has nine wins.
Speaker 2 (08:13):
So for me, I I'm not sure what they would
be able to do. I don't know what the why you.
Speaker 3 (08:18):
Would want to bring him back other than just to
put him out there on the field to make our
fantasy teams better. But it'll be a decision the Commanders
have to make elsewhere a quarterback that's come dealing with
an injury and in a playoff on as well. Chargers
quarterback Justin Herbert broke a bone in his left hand
yesterday against the Raiders. He only missed one series for
LA before coming back with a padded glove. He's having
(08:38):
a procedure on that finger today.
Speaker 1 (08:40):
He expected to be ready for the next game coming
up Monday night against Philly and Kimmy even though it's
on his non throwing hand. Any concerns about Herbo against Philly.
Speaker 6 (08:50):
Yeah, I mean, I don't love this.
Speaker 4 (08:51):
Harball also said today following the surgery on Justin Herbert
that Tree Lance was going to get first team reps
on the goal line here in practice this week in
case he needs to get called up against the Eagles.
But the reality is that Justin and Herbert in terms
of fantasy has just kind of sputtered the past few weeks.
He's had just three passing touchdowns over the last two
games in comparison to two plus touchdowns in each of
(09:13):
the previous four games. The main thing with all this, too,
is just the amount of sacks. He's actually the third
most sacked quarterback this season, behind just cam Ward and
Gino Smith thirty eight times. Their offensive line is really
banged up when you don't have for Sean Slater and
Joe Alt and you're missing some other pieces there with
some other guys injured, I don't think this means anything
good for fantasy managers. So if there's a better option
(09:34):
at quarterback, I take that. I think this Justin Herbert news,
if anything, just means even more upside for all the
managers who have Kamani Vidal in their lineups.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
Let's go back to Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (09:43):
A rough day for the Vikings included a reaggravation of
existing shoulder injury for Aaron Jones, which kept him out
of the fourth quarter on Sunday. Still waiting updates, and
the team does expect JJ McCarthy back next week. All
things considered. Rereg where are you right now on Jordan Mason.
Speaker 3 (10:00):
You know, I if he gets an opportunity to be
the solo starter, I kind of like it. He's averaged
over fourteen Fantasy points per game in the four contests
without Aaron Jones. Even in this one yesterday he did
get six attempts. He had forty seven rushing yards on
six attempts. There is some ability there, and I think
that for fantasy managers it's a much much easier predicament
(10:21):
when there's just.
Speaker 5 (10:22):
One of them.
Speaker 2 (10:23):
We only have to rely on one of them.
Speaker 3 (10:24):
And I think that when JJ McCarthy comes back this
week too, that's obviously going to help it out. I
know that everybody's out on JJ McCarthy. I don't think
it's his dire as just looks so far this season.
There will be some opportunities for them to get a
little bit better. They were going up against a really
good defense. So I'm going to play this by year,
and if Jordan Mason is there without Aaron Jones, I
would consider him a flex.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Option goes to the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 1 (10:47):
They finished their context contest with the Bucks on Sunday
with autor. Top wide out Marvin Harrison Junior, who left
well the heel injury in his first game back after
missing a couple of games due to appendix surgery. Also
waiting news on his prognosis, but does open the door
for Michael Wilson to get back to being the top
receiver in Arizona.
Speaker 2 (11:04):
Gimme yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:05):
Speaking of that, Patrick, in the two games without Marvin
Harrison Junior on the field this season, he's had twenty
five receptions in three hundred and three yards.
Speaker 6 (11:14):
It's the simple mathm I had.
Speaker 4 (11:15):
That's like twelve and a half receptions a game, one
hundred and fifty yards a piece, over twenty seven Fantasy
points in those games. But when Harrison is on the field,
that's when I think you take a major fade for
Michael Wilson. He's averaging less than six fantasy points with Harrison,
So really the upside for him is if Marvin Harrison
is on the field, then you don't necessarily want to
(11:36):
go with Michael Wilson.
Speaker 6 (11:37):
I think you have too much to lose here. Just
late in the fantasy season.
Speaker 4 (11:41):
But if Harrison for some reason is out this week,
I think Michael Wilson has a really started solid excuse me,
lest option.
Speaker 1 (11:48):
Well, let's skip ahead to a preview for Tuesday night
Wednesday morning. I'll look at the waiver wire. Who are
you targeting right now here on Monday night, Jimmy.
Speaker 6 (11:56):
Ooh, early waiver wire.
Speaker 4 (11:58):
We talked about so many rookie at the start of
this season, but a rookie.
Speaker 6 (12:02):
That was nowhere on our radar was Jaden Higgins. And
I think he's a.
Speaker 4 (12:05):
Really good ad for the Houston Texans this week as
they face kind of tough matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.
But he seems to establish himself as the number two
wide receiver on this offense with twenty two excuse me,
twenty three targets in his last three games. Most importantly,
he's still available in about ninety five percent of NFL
dot Com leagues four receiving touchdowns this season, which is
(12:26):
tied for most on the team. That's why I'm so
surprised he's still so widely available. And I mentioned this
earlier when we were talking about standout performances during Thanksgiving
weekend of ceede lamb the Chiefs defense. They just gave
up over fifty five Fantasy points combined to opposing wide receivers.
So while on paper, I think we get scared of
the Chiefs defense, Jaden Higgins, if he is an AD
(12:48):
for you on the waiver wire, I do think he's
somebody you could potentially slot in and play this week,
but rest a season, A really good guy to have
on your squad.
Speaker 3 (12:55):
I'm gonna go with ed Night Mitchell, who had over
twenty four Fantasy points on a Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons,
and I don't think he's going to go out there
and score twenty four Fantasy points each and every week.
But before you dismiss this, before you just cast this aside,
you need to realize it. Since he has joined the
Jets in Week eleven, he leads a team in targets,
receiving yards, red zone targets, end zone targets, so the
(13:19):
volume is there.
Speaker 2 (13:20):
Again, this is not going to be a thing.
Speaker 3 (13:22):
This twenty four point production is not going to be
sustainable each and every week.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
But as a volume play.
Speaker 3 (13:29):
The number one target of Tyrod Taylor, I am looking
at ad Mitchell. If I need wide receiver help this
week with four teams on a buy well reck, if I.
Speaker 1 (13:37):
Need a tight end, I'm doing what Trevor Lawrence is
doing and looking in the direction of Britain Strange as
he goes throw to the Jags. He's back and the
points are back up for the team. He's scoring as well,
ten or more points in the four of the last
five games that he's played. In terms of receptions per game,
he's tied for the lead on the team. He was
the te seven this week and right now was available
(13:57):
in eighty two percent of leagues on NFL dot Com.
So I think a lot of folks are going to
be going to Briton Strange over the week. Still ahead
here on fantasy if remember mid season Fantasy Rookie of
the Year, I'm not gonna Buka Well, yes, since one touchdown,
since we gave.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
Them that honor, that's our bad. Put it on us.
Speaker 1 (14:16):
But is it time to panic on Tampa's sounds and
rookie panic or patients coming up next?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Welcome back to NFL Fantasy Live.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
NFL players are wearing custom cleats through might cause my
cleats to spotlight the causes closest to their hearts. Visit
NFL dot com. Slash might cause my cleats to learn
their stories, bid on their cleats, and support the charities
making a difference in communities.
Speaker 5 (14:43):
It is signed for panic or patients.
Speaker 1 (14:45):
Here on NFL Fantasy Live, I will reach into this
spectacular cornucopia to reveal the panic button, which lets Fantasy
managers all over the world, including the ones watching us
without the volume on, know how much they should panic
regarding some of the Fantasy star that.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
Have been holding down spots poorly on their team.
Speaker 1 (15:04):
And we will start with the button going to Adam
Ray right as rico' donalds tom as the bell cow.
Speaker 5 (15:09):
Appears to be over. Are you panicking on the Panthers
star running back?
Speaker 2 (15:13):
You know what? A lot of people, there's a lot
of people.
Speaker 3 (15:16):
One guy yesterday asked me, He's like, what is that
earthquake segment that you guys do? Because I'm gonna sit there,
I'm gonna see that pan of bud and I'm not
going to press it. I'm not going to press it
for Rico O'Donnell, He's going to be just fine. Like
he is still a very viable part of this rushing offense.
He nearly had double digit Fantasy points on a Sunday, but.
Speaker 5 (15:35):
Still he played.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
He's played sixty eight percent of the snaps since Week five.
Speaker 3 (15:40):
He had seventy plus scrimmage yards in seven of his
last nine games, six games with at least twenty touches
since becoming the start.
Speaker 2 (15:46):
Like, there's so many.
Speaker 3 (15:47):
Reasons why you should continue to rely on ric o' donald.
I think that the floor is what you see right there.
It's about ten fantasy points. If he gets into the
end zone, it's gonna end up being a great day.
But this was the guy that you picked up most
like off the waiver wire, and he's been doing a
great job for you, So I would continue to roll
with him, although I do believe the Panthers are on
a buy this week.
Speaker 1 (16:08):
Okay, let's go Kimmy to the wide receiver one for
a lot of folks. It's justin Jefferson almost went catchless yesterday.
Speaker 5 (16:16):
The offense looked rough. Are you pressing the panic button?
Speaker 6 (16:20):
Rough?
Speaker 4 (16:21):
Is is that like a Simpoles were to say? You know,
it was absolutely horrific. It was a businal rank. I
want you and we need to go crazy because Patrick
hit that button.
Speaker 6 (16:29):
We are panicking, We're on Justin Jefferson. What is going on?
Speaker 4 (16:36):
If you look at his ADP and where all of
us took him really as probably most.
Speaker 6 (16:41):
Likely bed beyond behind. I came to talk. I'm so panic.
Speaker 4 (16:44):
Jamar Chase as the top receiving option in fantasy football,
his stat line abysmal career low of four receiving yards
off of six targets, just two receptions and two point
four fantasy points. This is a career low for him
in terms of receiving yard and the second time this
season where a Vikings receiver has six plus targets and
then fewer than five receiving yards in a game.
Speaker 6 (17:06):
If you look at this offense.
Speaker 4 (17:08):
In total, they've had more turnovers than points scored the
last two games.
Speaker 6 (17:12):
Unfortunately, for all of us.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
Who thought Justin Jefferson was going to be vintage, this
year's twenty twenty five Vikings team is not.
Speaker 1 (17:19):
It So bummer, Yeah, it's it's been a rough situation
for the Minnesota Vikings. I'll take the next one, and
it's unfortunately time to discuss Lamar Jackson, who's gone three
straight games without a touchdown pass after having thirty in
a row, but if you paid attention to the game,
there are actually two touchdown passes that didn't count for
various reasons, but it was still.
Speaker 5 (17:39):
Against something goes.
Speaker 1 (17:44):
That things that in Baltimore fount You hate to have
injury related panics, and we try to avoid that on
the show.
Speaker 2 (17:52):
But that's a part of it.
Speaker 1 (17:53):
And also I'm not sure if the Ravens somehow secure
a playoff spot within the fantasy play considering the way
the rest of the division is going, if the best
course of action would been for them to not play
Lamar at all, and so the sure thing twenty plus
fantasy points that we've been able to bank on for
(18:13):
the better part of the last decade, it's a rough spot.
So I'm gonna say, yeah, I'm panicking all Lamar Jackson
in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (18:20):
Let's go to another really good player. Who are we
going with? A Mecca Boo, I'm packing.
Speaker 3 (18:33):
I'm panicking because my foot hurts so bad. I can't
even concentrate on what I'm trying to say. But I
do remember somebody on this show a few weeks ago,
when we were doing a trade away segment, saying, this
should be the time that you get away from a
Mecca Abuka because we've seen this time and time again
from wide receivers who thank you so much, who have
(18:54):
torn it up in the early part of the season,
but they always seem to fade away a little bit.
Number one, you roll coverages there. I think a Mecca
a Bouquet is now the number one guy in Tampa Bay.
And without Mike Evans and Chris Scott, well, Chris god
Win's back. Without Mike Evans there, it's easier to be like, look,
this is the guy that we need to shut down.
And you know what, coming into the NFL, it's different
(19:14):
from going from a twelve game college season to playing
what is it, thirty games in the NFL now, seventeen
games seventy eighteen weeks.
Speaker 2 (19:22):
So the big adjustment we're gonna.
Speaker 1 (19:25):
Have to make an adjustment in terms of how we
expect from the wide receiver one right now, Jackson Smith
and Jigma was the wide receiver sixty four.
Speaker 5 (19:32):
Kimmy, are you panicking on JSN.
Speaker 4 (19:35):
Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, no no, and anybody
who is actually panicked, you're won a weirdo into just
the season because this is just the first game for him.
This year with fewer than thirteen fantasy points. I think
that's absolutely fine. He's got eight different games this year
in opposition of what I just said, with over one
hundred plus receiving yards. He is one hundred and ninety
(19:58):
four more receiving yards than any player in the NFL,
point blank period, twenty plus fantasy points in each of
the previous seven games, and really good Week fourteen matchups
going up against the Atlanta Falcons, who are top five
in the most fantasy points allowed to opposing wide receivers
the past four weeks. So absolutely no panic. One bad
game from JSN.
Speaker 1 (20:18):
You're fine, Tolly, Okay, let's be rational about this in
the panic or Patients segment. The twenty twenty six NFL
Pro Bowl Vote presented by Jersey Mike's is open and
the roster is up to you now through December fifteenth.

(20:38):
Time for our weekly stockwatch here on NFL Fantasy Live
stock Ups stock down kenmy text.
Speaker 5 (20:43):
Let's get a stock up and a stock.
Speaker 1 (20:45):
Down as we evaluate the markets here before Week fourteen
gets going.
Speaker 6 (20:49):
Rankery I love my stock up because you called this.
Speaker 4 (20:51):
I don't even want to give you a humble brag,
But Kyle mnung Gui, he's still only rustered in about
forty percent of NFL dot com leagues, which is crazy
because the snapcount has increased in three straight games this season.
The Chicago Bears currently have the six highest rush percentage
in the league this season, and they're facing the Packers
this week in Week fourteen, who are top ten and
most fantasy points allowed to running backs.
Speaker 6 (21:13):
Of course, the past four.
Speaker 4 (21:14):
Games the Kyle Mnungai welcome to Fantasy Dominance guy, and
then my stock downs. Sorry, just got so excited. It's
sadly going to be Zay Flowers. It's wild that he's
still the Ravens leading pass catcher by over four hundred
and thirty five yards. But the same way that we
were panicking about Lamar Jackson this season, I think we
can panic about Zay Flowers.
Speaker 6 (21:34):
Not even a.
Speaker 4 (21:35):
Singular fantasy point against the Bengals in Week thirteen. The
Ravens zero passing touchdowns.
Speaker 6 (21:40):
In three straight games. Stock all the way down. I'm
out on Zay.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Yeah, that was a rough one for the Ravens. On Thanksgiving,
let's go over to your stock evaluations.
Speaker 3 (21:49):
Mister, right, well, I am not going to stock up
to Dak Prescott, who is tied for the NFL league
with lead with eight games with the leads twenty fantasy
points this season. And this is personal to me because
I have Lamar Jackson and Dak Prescott on a lot
of teams.
Speaker 2 (22:03):
I ended up with this and it needs to be
automatic like Lamar, Lamar and Lamar.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
But as you were talking about a moment ago, it
now has come to the point where I'm gonna start
Dak and I'm not even gonna I'm not even gonna
weigh it. I'm just gonna start Dak from here on out.
But if stock down for me is going to be
Jalen Waddle, a player that I really wanted to step up,
especially when Tyreek Hill went down, but it just hasn't
been there. He's had fewer than nine fantasy points in
back to back games, that's the first time this season.
(22:30):
But he's had one hundred receiving yards only twice in
his last twenty six games.
Speaker 2 (22:35):
So the stock is clearly going down. Patrick.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
Let's go to a wide receiver in Florida whose stock
is going up, and I will take Jacoby Myers as
much stock up because the trade was great for Jacoby
Myers and the Jacksonville Jaguars. He called all six of
his targets, including their career long fifty yarder that would
follow up with a touchdown catch. He's had six or
more targets in three straight games and that comes with
BTJ Beck in the lineup, So it appears the floor
(22:59):
has been lablished and unfortunately the stocks going down for
DK Metcalf, who has had ten or more fantasy points
in one of the last five games. He caught three
passes for thirty two yards. He wasn't on the same
page as his quarterback, and they're talking about meetings now
in Pittsburgh, So that's a sign that things are growing
great over there for the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Speaker 5 (23:19):
Signed for our.
Speaker 1 (23:20):
Data deep Dive because the fantasy tool on NFL Pro
Kimmy gives us so many great statistical nuggets that we
can't help but to share with the people.
Speaker 2 (23:29):
What would you like to show them that you saw
this weekend?
Speaker 4 (23:32):
Okay, So Devon h Chan, we know he's been really
dominant this season. I know we were talking about how
much he's actually stepped up instead of Jalen Waddell in
the passing game. But looking at his explosive runs this season,
you see it right there. Thirty two explosive runs. That's
just one behind Jonathan Taylor. So as much as a
conversation we've had about Jonathan Taylor being an MVP caliber
(23:54):
player this year, Devon h Chan kind of deserves the
exact same accolades and praise. Meanwhile, on the defensive side
of the ball, let's get a defensive player and here
Patrick Derek Stingley Junior Week thirteen. He allowed one singular
target in zero receptions on twenty eight coverage snatch.
Speaker 6 (24:13):
That is mind boggling.
Speaker 4 (24:14):
This is a fifth game of the season allowing fewer
than ten different yards in coverage.
Speaker 6 (24:19):
He was matched up against Michael Pittman.
Speaker 4 (24:21):
Junior nine times and then Alec Pierce eight times. True
lockdown corner status for Stingley, who now this week faces
the Kansas City Chiefs, and for any fantasy managers that
maybe have forshe Rice or even Travis Kelcey or Xavier Worthy.
Xavier Worthy leads the Chiefs with one hundred and ninety
perimeter routes this season, which is where we see Stingley
(24:41):
lockdown the most. So just burd of the wise looking
ahead to week Derek Stingley junior lockdown quarter status this season.
Speaker 1 (24:49):
Yeah, and folks want to know how Shadur Sanders is doing.
We know Derek Singley has been good relatives to the
rest of the NFL. Here's how much better Shador is
in lung capacity than the rest of his Browns teammates.
He has four completions of thirty or more yards in
two starts.
Speaker 5 (25:03):
The rest of the Browns quarterbacks, including.
Speaker 1 (25:05):
Joe Flacco, has two this season, so he's doubled everybody
through two games. And speaking of changes being good for
certain stats, ad Ni Mitchell has more the second most
are yards in the entire NFL since Week eleven. Those
are the type of stuff you can get on NFL
Plus Premium and get NFL Pro where you can do
your very.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
Own data deep dive.
Speaker 1 (25:26):
You also can get your own fantasy AI assistant to
make lineup decisions as well. It might even make you
feel a little bit better about your fantasy team. Thanks
for tuning into the Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. We'll be back tomorrow to recap the Monday
night game.
Speaker 2 (25:41):
Wow, I don't me
