Speaker 1 (00:02):
Yeah, everybody, It's Monday, December first, twenty twenty five. Welcome
to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where no part of
the turkey is wasted. It's me and your man, MG
Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones.
I hope you, gentlemen, had a good and happy Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (00:23):
How was it for you?

Speaker 3 (00:26):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:26):
I mean it was good for me. Chill, just me
and the fan. We played Duno at night. But I
would say that all the Thanksgiving food is gone, like
it's in the trash. It's no more leftovers. I think
it's kind of sketchy if you're eating leftover Thanksgiving food today.

Speaker 1 (00:40):
I'm totally having a turkey sandwich when we're done.

Speaker 4 (00:42):
With this show, all right, brother, thoughts and prayers?

Speaker 3 (00:44):
What about mashed potatoes? That's the only thing we have left?

Speaker 4 (00:49):
Brah, throw it out. I mean, listen, I've had this
discussion with many many people. I feel like after Sunday noon,
there's no reason for you to be eating Thanksgiving.

Speaker 2 (00:58):
You new, Wow, you have a you have a hard
and fast left for dinner.

Speaker 3 (01:02):
Last night we finished it all. Say there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:04):
I made a potato and ham soup yesterday with like
the ham honey hambone.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
It's great.

Speaker 3 (01:10):
Did I have you feeling hot? Marcus?

Speaker 1 (01:12):
It didn't warmed me up inside. It's a it's feeling
a little bit heaty right now. Little heaty, little heaty ready, Okay,
so yeah, it's probably probably uh so, well, yeah, for
those of you who were were listening on the audio show,
Flora and I wearing hoodies.

Speaker 2 (01:33):
Not anymore. Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:34):
He's wearing a Carolina Panther shirt. I have a I
have a USC T shirt on Florio.

Speaker 2 (01:40):
What is this?

Speaker 3 (01:42):
Yeah? Yeah, I was for Halloween. What upon a time?
I still got the shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
I almost asked you if you had this whole costume still,
if you wanted to, like I don't.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
I only have the shirt.

Speaker 1 (01:55):
Flora's wearing a Carolina Panther shirt. I am wearing a
USC Trojan shirt because uh, okay, it was a bad
football weekend for it. I'm sure it was a great
holiday weekend. It was a bad.

Speaker 2 (02:05):
Football weekend for you.

Speaker 4 (02:08):
Listen, we're on the new leaf. As you could see
right over my right shoulder. It's been seven days. That's
my last crash. So we're we're on a good course.
This is wild that I'm seeing Florio with a Panthers tea.
Shir where did you even find that? There's no way
you bought that like over night Amazon bro, because the
man I was wow.

Speaker 3 (02:27):
Heer for Halloween in like twenty twelve. After the the
what that bear do? I was surpa, I keep pounding, baby.

Speaker 2 (02:37):
Yeah it was. It was a tough weekend, man.

Speaker 4 (02:40):
Usa, Usa, Usa.

Speaker 3 (02:43):
How did it feel losing to a team that got
dog walks by the forty nine ers a week?

Speaker 2 (02:50):
I know that Florida was the one to say I
didn't even say.

Speaker 3 (02:57):
Yeah, no, no, it's not.

Speaker 2 (03:01):
That that would probably hurts you a lot more.

Speaker 1 (03:03):
I do want to ask, though, because you, like, I know,
last week on the show, you guys you cooked something up.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
So you showed up wearing UCLA gear.

Speaker 1 (03:11):
Uh, because like you just jumped into this and I
know you're only doing it with an intent to get
me to crash out over it.

Speaker 2 (03:18):
So like your your first.

Speaker 1 (03:21):
Takeaway of the Crosstown Rivalry, now that you are a
semi interested participant, I.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
Would say this.

Speaker 4 (03:27):
I was at the mall, and you know, I see
a bunch of people walking around with the USC stuff.
I see a couple of people you know, walk around
the food court that have U c l A. So
I'm throwing the head and I like, yeah, bro I halftime, Yeah,
throwing air five and stuff. And I'm like I'm feeling
part of the community, like let's go Bruins. And then,
you know, as the game progressed, you know, I start,

(03:49):
you know, doing some shopping, starts walking towards the exit
and I see the score and I'm like, yeah, I
shouldn't have had text markets him and had added them
on Blue Sky. I should have just wait until the
game was over because there was so much game left.
And then yeah, that's a left down, that's a let
you have me up.

Speaker 2 (04:09):
At halftime.

Speaker 1 (04:09):
It was ten to seven U c l A at halftime,
and I wasn't really concerned, like I left it alone.
I'm like, I'm just gonna let it ride because I
watching the first half.

Speaker 3 (04:18):
I let it cook. Let it cook.

Speaker 1 (04:20):
I mean watching the first half of that game, UCLA
sort of played over their heads. They got a couple
of stops, s see, got one field goal, block missed
another one. But I'm like, they're moving the ball. This
defense gets some stops, it's gonna be fine. And then
in the second half it went the way you know that.

Speaker 2 (04:33):
I expected it.

Speaker 1 (04:34):
Too, and the Trojans went by by a couple of stories.
All I have to say is they you merely adopted
the rivalry, mister Jones.

Speaker 2 (04:40):
I was born into it, molded.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
By it, like like you're darkness. I didn't see a
win until I graduated. Like the Ribs has only mean
pain for night.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
He was putting that.

Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah, it was a bad time, but overall they have
a pretty significant lead USC does in that series. The
victory bell is staying in south central Los Angeles. It
will continue to be painted red. So yeah, you know, welcome, welcome,
welcome to the Rivalry. We're glad to have you.

Speaker 4 (05:18):
Are you guys changing? Like are you potting this entire
show with this? Like is this what we're doing?

Speaker 1 (05:23):
Well, I mean I'm not taking my shirt off, that's
what you're asking.

Speaker 3 (05:26):
Yeah, I mean this is all I got. I don't
want to stare at a panther's shirt. Florio, this is insane.
He'll turn supposed to be on my side. Last week
we were turning the knife against Marcus. Now you stabbing
me in the chest with this, like wow, literally literally, Well,
first of all, you know Stafford throws the first pick
and like we're we're talking in the chat a little bit.

(05:48):
He throws to pick six. By the way, he's won
away from having the most pick six is in NFL history.
He throws that, and then you know, then then the
chat is talking. But I won't lie. I still thought
you guys were going to come back. And then it
started raining and I was like, nope, nope, there's no
chance that they're coming back because it's not pristine conditions.

(06:08):
But I waited till it hit zero and then I
texted Marcus a picture of the shirt and I said,
I am wearing this tomorrow.

Speaker 1 (06:15):
This is only because you've turned him into the joker
basically about I don't think he really cared until like,
but now we just enjoy seeing you crash out.

Speaker 3 (06:23):
Yeah, yeah, that's really what it's. It's the crashouts, that's
what it is.

Speaker 4 (06:27):
Nope, so we are seven days clean.

Speaker 2 (06:28):
You know, I'm proud of you that we've gone through this.

Speaker 1 (06:30):
We've been doing this for six minutes now and you've
seen this and we haven't had the crash out.

Speaker 2 (06:35):
So I'm proud of you. It's one.

Speaker 3 (06:36):
It's great crashes out. More when they win than when
they lose. This, I have no doubts that he was
crashing out yesterday. He just doesn't want it to be
seen on cameras.

Speaker 2 (06:47):
I honestly, I was with you, Flora.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
I thought the Rams were going to come back and
win that game, and I was all ready for him
to show up here on Monday morning and we just
be unhappy about.

Speaker 2 (06:57):
It, like in every single way. Just being to company.

Speaker 4 (07:00):
I'm doing my RAMS pod after this so folks can
tune in and hear my thoughts on the RAMS game.
I would say this, I'm not crashing out. We are
describing download fine podcasts. Yeah, sick podcast network, shout, shout
it out, let's go.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
I'm ram Seahawks game in what two weeks?

Speaker 2 (07:18):
Is? It's going to be interesting.

Speaker 3 (07:19):
That's suddenly a huge one.

Speaker 2 (07:21):
That's a huge game.

Speaker 3 (07:22):
Maya business. We're good.

Speaker 4 (07:23):
We're good.

Speaker 3 (07:25):
Use that the m v P is gone. First of all,
to you, Marcus.

Speaker 1 (07:35):
If you are, if you are an NFL MVP, if
you're candidate, stay in line.

Speaker 2 (07:43):
All right, we have we have, we have Dailly dellied
enough so far.

Speaker 1 (07:48):
Were talking about the show week fourteen at this is
gonna be Week fourteen as soon as the Monday night
game is done, which means it is the final week
of the Fantasy regular season. But it does come with
land mines because there are four teams on a buy
Thanks schedule maker, So we have some season savers, basically,
some guys you can plug into this week to hopefully
get you through, maybe get you into that playoff spot,

(08:10):
or if you already have one locked up, just kind
of get you through the week and get you ready
for the postseason. Of course, drops in waiver wires as well.
We want to start with some news headlines. One year
in Los Angeles, Justin Herbert Bortally broke a bone in
his left hand in the win over the Raiders on Sunday.

Speaker 2 (08:28):
He is scheduled to have surgery today.

Speaker 1 (08:31):
At the moment, it does look like he's planning.

Speaker 2 (08:34):
To play Florida. We were talking about this.

Speaker 1 (08:36):
Before the show, that what they play on Monday night
next week, so they do have an extra day potentially
for him to get ready that he is planning to play,
But let's just game this out if for whatever reason
he can't go. And we see Trey Lance, how confident
are you in any of the pass catchers there.

Speaker 2 (08:54):
Not at all.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Look, maybe Lance has developed since we've last seen him,
but when we he's and Marcus, you bring up comparisons
like this a lot. He's kind of like Anthony Richardson right,
where like because he can run, he himself could be
maybe an asset that you care about in fantasy. I
wouldn't be streaming him with my season on the line
if I'm in that position or anything. But is he

(09:18):
going to elevate the pass catchers? I don't think so,
and especially not against this Philly defense. So if you
have a Lad McConkie or QJ Allen Gatson, one of
these guys that you're planning on starting this week, I
think you need to keep a very close eye. And
if it was me and it was Sunday morning and
we still didn't know for sure if Justin Herbert was

(09:39):
going to play or not, I would if my season's
on the line, I would probably go in the other
direction and play a non charger. But hopefully we don't
get in that position. Hopefully we know by Sunday that
Herbert is going to play Monday night.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
Yeah, I mean, I think that's the big thing for
everybody out there. With Justin Herbert with McConkie, Allen whomever.
Hopefully this is not a thing where we're waiting and
waiting because it because it is the Monday night game,
Like you sort of need to know in advance that
you can make decisions on Sunday because if we get
to Monday and suddenly it's hey, Trey Lance is starting,
you're kind of out of options.

Speaker 3 (10:14):
If you had Herbert, I'm looking for to play someone else.
I don't want to play him with a broken hand
against the Eagles.

Speaker 4 (10:20):
You know, No, I think we've already seen a quarterback
try to do that right that it was real nasty work.

Speaker 3 (10:25):
When we've seen that half Yeah, guy did that yesterday
and the.

Speaker 4 (10:28):
Guy right don't say his name.

Speaker 2 (10:32):
A guy did that last night. You know.

Speaker 3 (10:34):
I do want to give a quick shout out to
Steve Weisch, the ultimate professional. Yesterday on the pregame show,
he was going in detail about how handoffs are going
to be a problem for them and it was like
like it kind of made their run game a little predictable,
which is something that maybe you have to factor in
with videl or if it's Hampton next week as well,
which side.

Speaker 2 (10:54):
Note to that.

Speaker 1 (10:54):
Patrick Clayba on our friend and consummate social media Maven
posted on Blue skyt yesterday.

Speaker 2 (11:00):
How do you feel if you're the backup quarterback and.

Speaker 1 (11:03):
They would rather play a guy with a giant cast
on his hand who could barely hand the ball off right?

Speaker 3 (11:10):
Well, if you're Mason Rudolph, you got your chance and
he came in and he threw it right to the
other team.

Speaker 1 (11:15):
Yeah, not great, not great. More optimistic quarterback news. Jayden
Daniels did not play and what was eventually just the
wild kind of game on Sunday night against at Denver Broncos,
but he is expected to play, or at least they're
hopeful that he will play next week against the Minnesota Vikings.
So coming back against a defense that is pretty good
and really did their best to try and keep the

(11:37):
Vikings in the game despite just awful quarterback play.

Speaker 2 (11:41):
LaQuan, what do you expect from.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Daniels in his first game back after having dealt with
a dislocated elbow.

Speaker 4 (11:47):
I feel like we could kind of put him in
that QB two tier of like your expectations in totality
with honestly not being clear for contact. Yet we're looking
at a guy that's kind of walking into a game
with limited reps, limited you know, opportunities to get in
that game speed. So I'm kind of like hesitant to
throw him into starting lineups. This is week fourteen. If

(12:08):
I made it this far without him as my quarterback,
and I found somebody that can hold me down, let's
not get cute this week, Like, let's just wait and
see what happens. He may not even play. This is
not even something that's like in stone, like, yeah, he's
a full go because my boy, he's on the sideline,
he's happy, he looks okay. But for fantasy, we're looking
at okay, Well, Mariotto has been doing a subpart job.

(12:29):
Actually I love what he did against Denver. He almost
came away with a win. Why rush him back the
season's pretty much over. You're kind of just in the
gutter right now. What is the risk factor versus the
reward of bringing him back on the field for what?
So for fantasy, I don't even know if we even
get him full capacity, or even get him at all,
you know, for the next four weeks. Like I look

(12:51):
at it as like, look for another quarterback that's going
to hold you down. We have plenty of quarterbacks in
this show, we're going to talk about that can hold
you down. During the Fantasy playoffs, some are still alble
out there. So my expectations are just like eh QB
two at best. But I really don't think we're going
to be able to see him.

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Yeah, well, I actually would think we're going to see him.
I think for Washington, they want to put him back in.
I think for Jaden Daniels, I think he wants to
get back. Yet it's similar to what we saw with
Joe Burrow on Thanksgiving Night, how he wanted to be
back out there and then you know, engineered a big win.

Speaker 4 (13:23):
But they actually have a shot, like the Bengals have
a shot in the dark to shake things up. The
Commanders do not like to beat history putting a quarterback
in a position that is risking his health, Like we've
we've seen that story play out, right, Like we're seeing
the same movie, right.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
Is this is this an RG three reference? Is that
what this is? Yeah?

Speaker 4 (13:43):
Yeah, save himself from himself because there's no reason to
go back out there for this season. That's toast, that's lost.
Mario has been working towards, I would say a contract
extension for the Commanders as a backup. I think then
Mariota played well. Let's just say that, you know, yeah, yesterday,
I think that Daniels probably would have turned it up
a notch. We would had a little bit more explosive plays,

(14:04):
et cetera, et cetera. But Dale's is not one hundred
percent and he hasn't even looked that great this season
and body of work.

Speaker 1 (14:10):
Let's be honest, Yeah, I do wonder whether or not
you know, look, he was great his rookie year. Whether
or not every defense is sort of okay, Well, let's
adjust to him. Obviously, the injuries have not helped either.
But now I think going forward, whether it's this season
or next season, now it becomes the issue for Jayden
Daniels to adjust to the adjustment and see what he has,

(14:31):
you know, for year three Florida. I mean LaQuan mentioned it.
Mariota played well. He played well enough for the Commanders
to get a win. They did not, unfortunately. So does
this mean that if Daniels is back, we're all go on,
you know, Terry McLaurin, Deebo, Samuel zach Ertz like the
whole the whole nine.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
Regardless of quarterback. I think Terry is back in play.
I thought it was awesome to see Terry remind everyone
yesterday like I am that dude, because I think injuries
have kind of and he got off to a little
bit of a slow start, but I think it kind
of stole a little bit of like, yeah, he is
really really good. He is their wide receiver one fourteen

(15:11):
targets last night, Like, I think he is back in play.
Zach Ertz, it was nice to see him put up
numbers with Mariota. I still think he is a much
better option with Daniels. I know it's a revenge game next.
Oh no, sorry, I'm getting my schedule is confused. But
it's a favorable matchup. But he's not a must play
for me. Deebo, I think is someone I'm going to

(15:32):
more try to get away from. But the thing with
Jaden Daniels is if he is back, and I do
expect him to play again this year, because as much
as we all think it doesn't make sense, these teams
and players and organizations are wired differently. Like what Joe
Burrow said when he was like, there's so many people
relying on me to be out there, and he started
talking about like the behind the scenes people and stuff

(15:53):
like that, like these players are weighing this in the franchise,
want to see what they have in him and stuff
all of that. But I think if he does play,
they're going to tell him not to run, and that's
going to hold his fantasy ceiling back. But I think
it means good things for the pass catchers because it
probably means even more volume than they normally get.

Speaker 1 (16:12):
I'm very curious you mentioned the Commanders maybe telling him
not to run, and I know it's different players, different teams,
but I also kind of want to keep an eye
on Jackson Dart when we.

Speaker 2 (16:21):
See him on Monday Night.

Speaker 1 (16:22):
Football having come back from a concussion with a new
head coach. Do they sort of put a leash on
him a little bit?

Speaker 3 (16:28):
Right?

Speaker 1 (16:29):
And you know, how does Dan Quinn sort of navigate
this too, with his franchise quarterback coming back from an injury. Yeah,
I think because if Jayden Daniels is not running, then
he's definitely not the same quarterback that you drafted, and
it's harder to make a case for putting him in
the lineup. But it's also a thing we don't know
until we see it though.

Speaker 3 (16:48):
Right, Yeah, I have him in the Fantasy Live League,
and I've been riding with Jacoby Brissett since he got hurt.
I've stashed Jayden and I'm very curious to see what
he could be if he plays. But like next week,
I'm going to play.

Speaker 1 (17:00):
Jacoby over which, by the way, I saw this morning,
Jacoby Brissett since week nine, I believe is the QB
two overall, which Baller wild set it and forget it.
That's what it is. There is over to Cleveland. Kevin
Stefanski announced pretty much immediately after the game on Sunday
that Shudur Sanders will be the starter in Week fourteen

(17:21):
against the Tennessee Titans.

Speaker 2 (17:23):
You guys know this.

Speaker 1 (17:23):
I have avoided putting anything should do or related on
this show mostly almost because this wasn't relevant, right, Like,
the conversation about Shuduur.

Speaker 2 (17:32):
Sanders has nothing to do.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
With the conversation about fantasy because he's not playing. Now
he's playing, so it's worth talking about versus Ward.

Speaker 2 (17:41):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:41):
Yeah, the guys who everybody thought were going to go
back to back in the draft and they they did not.
You know, I don't know if you had a chance
to watch it. I don't know if you cared to
watch it at all, Lakwan Shouldur, I thought did what
was asked of him. What was asked of him was
not a lot in that offense. It was a lot

(18:02):
of handoffs, It was a lot of screen passes.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
He did have the.

Speaker 1 (18:05):
One nice throat to Harold Fannin that led to a touchdown.
Other than that, I mean they kept it really really
simple for him. But maybe that's enough. The Titans defense
is bad. Would you, and I'll say two quarterback leagues,
super flex leagues, would you consider streaming Shaduur this week?

Speaker 4 (18:21):
No? No, no, chill out now, Jill, No, no, don't
do it, because if you were down that bad, you
were not even in conversation for the playoffs. Like I'm
speaking strictly to the folks who are eyeing playoffs or
trying to get to the playoffs. If you were starring
Shrador Sanders at the quarterback position, QB won super Flex
or not, I don't care the format. I don't care

(18:41):
if bad quarterbacks get bonus points for being bad. I'm
not putting intra door against the Titans. And I would
say this right, he looked okay, he doesn't look Fantasy
relevant yet, Like we can't be starting to put him
on rosters and collecting dust on the bench throughout the playoffs.
But I would say this if he gets better pass catchers,
because I know we all seen that clip of Jerry

(19:02):
Judy crashing out like he doesn't have seven days clean.

Speaker 5 (19:05):
He's been crashing out for two weeks now, because he
has the nerve to say anything to Shador on the
sideline about this play about him throwing the ball right,
I'm watching the play and Jerry Judy one looks like.

Speaker 3 (19:20):
He lets up.

Speaker 4 (19:21):
He's not running his full speed where the ball ends
up going. All he had to do is extend his arms.
I've seen plays from high schoolers, middle schoolers, college prospects
dive out to make that catch for their team, to
make the splash play that did not happen. And then
we look at last week with Jerry Judy and all
lolligag and skipping to his loo and fumbling.

Speaker 3 (19:40):
Like, Bro, you are the last person to utter any
words to fix your lifts, to say anything on the
sideline about anything.

Speaker 4 (19:49):
I think Shador is not really He's still cooking. He's
not ready to be prepared on the meal yet to
be fantasy relevant whatsoever. And I think, you know, Harold Fan,
he remains in that tier of like, yeah, he's him,
He's going to get a lot of opportunities. They're designing
plays for him. He has his own playbook. I am convinced.
I do think at the end of the day, Jerry Judy,

(20:10):
the Isaiah Bonds, Cergic Gilman's even dam the joker at
this point, I'm not interested whatsoever, and Shador doesn't change
that whatsoever for their fantasy upside.

Speaker 1 (20:20):
Okay, well, then Floyd, can I interest you perhaps in
a pass catcher that doesn't rhyme with beryld Spandon Jr.

Speaker 3 (20:26):
H No, But I will push back that I do
think they bring more potential with Shador than anyone because
in the last two games they have four completions of
thirty or more yards. In the first eleven weeks they
had two. Like he's not I'm not. That's the thing, too,
is with Shador. I'm not saying he's setting the world
on fire. But compare him to the other Browns quarterbacks

(20:49):
this year, and he is by far the best one,
and that is what I to me. They're very different conversations.
He is best for their pass catchers, but that still
doesn't make them fantasy relevant.

Speaker 4 (21:00):
You know what's crazy? He had more fantasy points this
week than Lamar Jackson in Tua, cam Ward, Caleb Williams,
Sam Darnold, and Aaron Rodgers shout out your door, shout.

Speaker 1 (21:13):
Out, Yeah, no, I'm I'm scrolling, and you were absolutely correct.
He was just just a tick behind Matthew Stafford.

Speaker 4 (21:26):
First of all, you ain't had to go look at rankings.

Speaker 3 (21:29):
You ain't had to go look at that.

Speaker 1 (21:31):
I'm literally just reciting statistics.

Speaker 2 (21:33):
That's all.

Speaker 3 (21:36):
Next question.

Speaker 1 (21:36):
All right, that was kind of meaty, So we're gonna
step away, take a quick break, come back with some
big questions from week thirteen.

Speaker 2 (21:42):
That's next on.

Speaker 1 (21:43):
The NFL Fantasy Football Podcast.

Speaker 2 (21:48):
Let's move on.

Speaker 1 (21:49):
We ask some other big questions from week thirteen. Some
of the things that I saw I caught my eye.
I kept to kind of brief, just three questions for
this one. For you, Lorio, what is more concerning over
the last two weeks. Call it what you've seen from
Lamar Jackson or what's going on with Josh Allen and
the Bills.

Speaker 3 (22:06):
I don't even think it's close. I think it's Lamar Jackson. Look.
Two weeks ago against the Texans, the Bills got annihilated.
They eight sacks. We know how bad it was. We
also found out that two of their offensive linemen shouldn't
have been out there because they weren't even clear to
be out there yesterday. So how were they cleared in game?
I don't know, but Josh played well, Like I know

(22:28):
that first interception wasn't the best, but after that, like
he had a rushing touchdown. He had one of the
people are calling it like the n one Allen Tour
or whatever, like he fakes out Cam Hayward jumps over
him and like he's still looking like himself. Even though
the stats weren't what they needed to be, because legitimately,
the Bills ran for more yards in that stadium than
any visiting team ever has, so literally they kept it

(22:52):
was like in Madden. They kept running the same play
over and over again. And that's something that Bills fans
have been mad Joe Brady for, but it worked this time. Lamar,
on the other hand, hasn't thrown a touchdown in three
straight games. EPA wise, these are like the worst performances
of his career, and on top of that, look at
the defenses they have faced, right Like the last two

(23:15):
weeks he faced the Jets who don't have Quinn Williams
and Saust Garner and stuff anymore, and then the Bengals,
who everyone puts up number again. So I'm very concerned
about Lamar. I don't think Lamar is healthy. I think
this hamstring ankle injury is hampering him a lot more.
And I think teams know he cannot beat you with

(23:35):
your legs right now, so they are just daring him
to beat him with their arms, and it hasn't worked
out so far. But I have this question for you guys, now,
would I like Lamar gets the Steelers this week? He's
had one good game against them in his career, Like,
we know that he has had a history of struggling
against his defense, but they've been a good matchup this year.

(23:56):
Would you play Lamar in Week fourteen if your fantasy
seasons on the line, or do you sit him? Let's go,
Trey Lance, let's go. We're not starting trade, baby, let's go.

Speaker 2 (24:07):
Well, No, I don't even know if I'm going cam
Ward over him.

Speaker 4 (24:11):
Bro Lamar has one touchdown in his last four games.
Bro no, Bro no.

Speaker 3 (24:18):
Something was starting to he would start cam Ward over Lamar.

Speaker 4 (24:22):
If I would start elk Iron Man or over Jamar
Chase for one week, I will start cam.

Speaker 3 (24:25):
Wardono, how did that work out for you? That even
worked out for you? It did what he had one
like it was a point one less point or point two, Like,
come on, bro, that was close. They aren't. It was
also a three week span and Chase was after the
first week span, all right, and then they got Joe Flacco.
There is the voided contract, voided deal. No, it changed up.

(24:48):
It was Jake Browning that I had a problem with.

Speaker 4 (24:50):
Folks don't do.

Speaker 3 (24:52):
The j one of those big games.

Speaker 2 (24:55):
But anyway, also also Ward Ken Moore is the Browns
of this.

Speaker 4 (25:00):
This doesn't count as a crash. I was just making
sure I was.

Speaker 3 (25:03):
Hurting these options over him. But like I like, if
I have Jared Golf, I'm playing I'm playing Jordan Love
over him.

Speaker 4 (25:09):
Like, yeah, those are more m donald options.

Speaker 1 (25:11):
Sam Donald, Yeah, I play Sam Donald over him right now?
Against the Falcons problem.

Speaker 3 (25:16):
I have Lamar Nsley this week, and I've sat and
looked at it for like twenty minutes, just like, can
I really do this? I think of going to but
with the caveat of like you have to have a
good option.

Speaker 1 (25:27):
But like this is your this is your stuff. Steph
Curry from the logo shot man, I just fired up there.

Speaker 2 (25:31):
See whatever it might go.

Speaker 3 (25:32):
In Ravens fans hate me already.

Speaker 2 (25:34):
Man, what do you have to lose? You nothing to
lose at this point, so it's fine.

Speaker 1 (25:38):
Uh, look, you sort of texted about this early in
the game yesterday about how the Chuba Hubbard.

Speaker 2 (25:43):
Game is going to be coming in.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
I was like, of course, because we all gave up
on him and said he was droppable and then in
the end.

Speaker 2 (25:49):
Uh, he had a nice day. So does this mean
Trueba Hubbard is back.

Speaker 4 (25:53):
The fact that I've said that early in the game
at that, like after I've seen him kind of bust
off outside and get upfield and get in a couple
of yards getting used in the screenplay, and then obviously
he scores on that one. I was like, Yeah, this
is like the B team, this is what's gonna happen.
We're gonna have guys that usually don't step up, step up,
show up, show out, and here we are. Jalen Coker

(26:14):
put that shirt down, bro, Stop how many turnovers, does
Josh Allen had man, I mean, I mean, I'm gonna stop.

Speaker 3 (26:21):
I'm gonna stop. I'm gonna stop because we clean. It's
a victory Monday for my seed. Marcus I got a dub.
I'm eating dubs over here.

Speaker 4 (26:31):
Manchester United have got a w I'm happy. Anyway, let's go.
What I'm saying is right when you look at Chuba Hubbard,
he is now going into a bye with this momentum,
He's going to come out and feel like he can
pump his chest. If we've seen this backfield changed guard twice, right,
We've seen Tuba get his licks coming back from injury

(26:51):
didn't work out. Rico's the guy. Rico struggled like my
boy had one more touch than to Cuba had in
a match of where they're operating behind this same offense,
They're getting the same plays, the same runs, the same looks,
the same screens, but Tuba just had a little bit
more chip on his shoulder. And obviously you're seeing going
into this buy now they're gonna have to question and

(27:12):
think about, like do we keep running Tuba in the
mix of Rico because Tuba could have the opportunity to
really have that snaf share split between Rico where they
could be this one two punch. We're seeing many leagues around,
many teams running this one two punch. It can work.
Rico doesn't have to be a workhorse. If Tuba is

(27:32):
still able and have the capability to show that, hey
I have homeroom speed. Hey I could break off tackles.
Hey I can catch the ball. So I do feel
like Tuba now if he's on waiver wires in the
buy and you could stash and make the play, why not.
I'm looking for all running backs that can fit into
that flex option spot because I'm looking for guys that
are gonna give me double digit points. If Cuba's getting

(27:52):
more opportunities as the weeks go on, these next four
or five weeks, I could see Tuba being a nice
flex option, you know, being a guy that's seen some
targets out of the backfield as well.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
One thing I saw a lot of yesterday was people
trying to retcon in real time that game that was
going on right that Tuba getting all these touches and
putting up all these yards. There's a lot of well,
of course it was gonna happen. There's no way the
Panthers are going to bury Trueba Hubbard, Like this was.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Always gonna But I'm like, let's go back.

Speaker 2 (28:20):
I'm looking at it right now.

Speaker 1 (28:21):
Right the snap counts between Rico Dawdle and Truba Hubbard
before yesterday, because yesterday Hubbard got most of the snaps.
It was thirty eight to twenty seven. But let's look
at the games before that. Week twelve thirty to sixteen,
Rico Week eleven sixty seven to fifteen, Rico Week ten
forty two to twelve, Week nine forty four to thirteen.

(28:42):
I mean, they had buried Tuba Hubbard, like there was
no reason for us to believe that this game was coming.
And I just the preponderance of people I saw just saying, well, yeah,
of course this was absolutely going to happen. It was
always going to go this way. Like, no, it was
not always going to go this way. It happened, it
worked out that way. But to sit here and just
all of a sudden, after the previous month, to be like, well, yeah,

(29:04):
this was always in the range of outcomes. It just
wasn't just wasn't.

Speaker 3 (29:09):
Yeah. I was like, Chuba was worth rostering because in
case something happens to Rico, we know, but yeah, I
don't think anyone saw this coming this week. But what
in retrospect now hindsight. One thing I was kicking myself
about a little bit today was like, we knew who
Rico Dauda was, right, Like we knew that five week
stretch where he was going for on pace for four

(29:29):
thousand yards or whatever. It was like that was clearly
not gonna last. And I was kicking myself for being
like I should have been telling people to sell higher
on him and stuff, but he he had been thriving
in this system. So like, I think it's a little
bit of a lesson learned. But anyone who's saying they
saw this coming against the Rams, they're lying.

Speaker 2 (29:47):
They're lying, They're lying exactly. So Floria, who's had.

Speaker 1 (29:51):
The bigger fall off in the back half of the season,
Romo Dunese or a Mecca Abuca.

Speaker 3 (29:55):
I think it's Roma Dunza, even though I think a
Mecca Abuca is now the one making all the heat.
Roma Dunsay continues to just get a pass. And it's
something I said on either Fantasy Live or this show
last week. I was like, I think we need to
have a Roma Dunsay conversation, and then he went out
and he put up eight yards this past week, Like
he has one game with over fifty five yards in

(30:19):
the last five and then if you go beyond that,
like he is top seventy yards three times all season.
Like his early season stretch was very it was high
volume and high touchdown rate dependent. That volume has kind
of drained the thing about Ameca Abuka and yesterday I
was all set to make him a sit, and the
more I looked into it, I'm making him a start

(30:41):
this week because he's still getting volume and since his
downward spiral, he is the highest rate of uncatchable targets
in the NFL, and watching him, there's been a lot
of times where I'm like, man, he was open downfield.
He could have had a huge play. Baker has missed him.
I think Baker deserves more of the blame for what
has happened to a Mecca a Buka than Abuka does.

(31:02):
But this Bear's passing attack, Like they get the Eagles
this week, I don't feel confident telling you to start
any of them.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Yeah, I think it was Denny Carter posted last night
basically that in the in the tough matchups.

Speaker 2 (31:20):
You know, Caleb has been just nah, not even that right.

Speaker 1 (31:25):
Do you think he's averaging about ten points or so
in some of the tougher matchups, any positive matchups, he's
been great. He's averaging about twenty four to twenty five points.
You know, he did not have a great matchup against
Philly on Friday. You know, he's got the Packers coming
up this week, He's got the Browns in two weeks,
so you know that might be your cue to get

(31:47):
away from, you know, a doomsday and nobody's I don't
think heybod's starting DJ Moore at this point. If you are,
I feel sorry for you, you know, and lean on
like DeAndre Swift and Kalman Unguy a little more.

Speaker 3 (31:58):
I know Caleb is like a QB one in Fantasy
points wise, but his floor is a week losing performance.
Like if he gets you ten points, like you're going
to lose that week.

Speaker 1 (32:09):
Yeah, it's I mean, it really is a study in
highs and lows, right, It's it's ceilings and floors. The
ceiling is pretty nice when he gets there. The floor
is is kind of bad. Just today, nine point four
points for Caleb Williams. So take a quick break, come back,
bring it into some season savers, the guys you can
help or hope will help you pick you up while

(32:30):
there are four teams on a buy and that's coming
to next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. So, in
their benevolence and infinite wisdom, the schedule makers decided that
we should have four teams on a buy here in
the final week of the fantasy regular season. So I
so I get it because last week, with it being
Thanksgiving week, they wanted everybody available and everybody in action,

(32:53):
right because it's such a big week, and which is cool.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Look, that's fine, I get that. I go back to
those couple.

Speaker 1 (32:58):
Of weeks we had two teams on a buy, right,
why not make those four team bye weeks?

Speaker 2 (33:06):
Why not just set.

Speaker 1 (33:07):
It up so you have eight weeks worth of buys
where you have four teams off every week.

Speaker 3 (33:10):
Eight times four is thirty two. I can do simple math.
It's not even just four teams though, it's it's fourteen,
like like the Patriots have the forty nine ers, like
they're good to you, and then they're all defenses that
we could stream against, like you play everyone against the
Giants and the Niners and the pant right leg. But
now we can't. It makes it even complicated.

Speaker 1 (33:31):
So so we're going through what we're calling these guys
season savers, right, they're basically streaming options or short term
options to kind.

Speaker 2 (33:36):
Of help you get through the week quarterbacks.

Speaker 1 (33:39):
So the quarterbacks that are off this week, no Drake May,
no Jackson Dart, no Bryce Young who you just never brice.

Speaker 2 (33:47):
Them is like a box of chocolates. You never know
what you're gonna get.

Speaker 1 (33:50):
And Brock Purty who had a rushing touchdown and then
did the dougie afterwards, So thanks for that.

Speaker 3 (33:56):
Which, by the way, he practiced apparently, which cracked him.
Good for him, you gotta practice it look not almost
have rhythm.

Speaker 2 (34:09):
I also but I also like for him.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
I feel bad because I don't think any of the
cameras there's like fifty eleven cameras at an NFL game,
and somehow none of them seem to get a good
angle of it. Like once he was like behind the goalpost.
I think in one angle there's like I don't know,
cheerleaders are like on field staff blocking, Like I don't
think there's actually a clear angle of him doing it.

Speaker 3 (34:27):
Was a clean douggie though as he ever danced before, Like,
why did he do this?

Speaker 1 (34:32):
Somebody sent me a TikTok of him like dancing. I
mean it's mild dancing. He does like a Michael Jackson spin.

Speaker 3 (34:38):
Did you see Kittle's reaction?

Speaker 2 (34:40):
He was just like.

Speaker 5 (34:42):
The game.

Speaker 3 (34:44):
Yes, he used it wrong.

Speaker 1 (34:47):
No, it's not how you that man. Anyway, Season savers
at quarterback because that's what we got an off track
a little bit.

Speaker 2 (34:58):
I am I I am shocked by you.

Speaker 1 (35:01):
Lakwan, because this is the second time in the last
two weeks that you have that you have you have
mentioned this man, So I'm you've turned over a new
leaf as the season has gone along. I'm proud of you.
So your season savory quarterback.

Speaker 4 (35:13):
Is William Lawrence. And here's the thing, Sir William, he
did me justice, Trevor that you're like pumping him out
weeks and now wa ain't gassing him, Wayne gassing him.
Now he got to finish strong. Because this is my point,
I'm looking to rock with him for the rest of
the season. I am in a lot of leagues where
I am eyeing the playoffs, in the playoffs or trying

(35:35):
to make the playoffs. So William is coming in now
off of a twenty one Fantasy point game. He's still
using his legs. He has five rushing attempts in his
last three to four games, and he has seven touchdowns
in his last three games. So my boy is scoring
and the offense is getting healthier. Brent Straine out the
gate back to back weeks, we see him performing well.

(35:56):
See Jacobe Myers making a staple. I am the wide
receiver one for a bad mid tier quarterback. We've seen
it with the Patriots, somewhat with the Raiders with Derek Carr,
Jimmy Garoppolo, Aidan O'Connell, mid tier wide receiver one. He
can handle this work. Back to back games he scored.
Now you're seeing Brian Thomas Junior kind of accept I

(36:16):
am not the wide receiver one. I am just a
guy now that is kind of just here. But he
can contribute at times. He has that upside. Parker Washington,
he's one of the you know, the Avengers. You know,
he doesn't have powers, but he can show up sometimes
and do great things. So with the offense, Hawkeye, yeah,

(36:36):
Hawk guy's right cool. He's pretty cool though. I like Hawkeye,
but I would say this though, with the offense getting healthier.
They got Indie this week, they got the Jets week fifteen,
first round of the playoffs, they allow a ton of
explosive plays. This offense is now fully intact healthy. This
could be a game where Okay, Trevor, Mian, Lawrence William, Lawrence,

(36:57):
Sir William t floor show up and show wow and
put up some big fantasy points. So I think he
could be your savior even into week sixteen, after we've
seen what Mariota just.

Speaker 3 (37:07):
Did to Denver.

Speaker 4 (37:08):
Mary Owns put up three hundred yards. I know it
was overtime, but my boy was getting active out there.
So I think you have at least a path for
the next three to four weeks of Sir William of
serving and saving your fantasy playoff run or just staplan.
Because you have questions about Jaden Daniels, Herbert's hurt, Lamar
Jackson's been you know, I can't say it on here,

(37:31):
but I have words that I can't say on the mic,
but you know he's been cheeks, he's been bad. Okay,
So I do think that Sir William is on the
waiver wire, pick up stash and whatever the case may be,
he could be serviceable.

Speaker 2 (37:43):
All right.

Speaker 1 (37:44):
Yeah, the schedule Colts Jets at the Broncos at the Colts.
That's in championship week, So not not a terrible schedule
for the guy who since Week nine is the QB
six averaging eighteen points a game. I mean that's again,
if you're talking about just a plug in eighteen points,
you can live with that for sure.

Speaker 2 (38:01):
I'm pre praying to tie God again. I appreciate this.

Speaker 3 (38:04):
I like this. The draft ender, baby. This is a
one week only thing though. Look, I'm not telling you
to play Tyrod in the fantasy playoffs and stuff like that.
But if you need a Drake May replacement or a
Jackson Dart replacement and you're looking at your waiver wire
or something like that, you didn't plan ahead. Whatever the
case may be, Thy God, he's bringing a safe floor

(38:24):
right now because of what he does running wise forty
four rushing yards and a rushing touchdown this past week.
The Jets quarterbacks like routinely run for forty plus yards.
It was Fields, it was Taylor. That's just something that
has been in their game and that I think you
need to factor in when talking about the fantasy outlook,

(38:47):
and then he's cooking a little bit more with his
wide receivers right like it had been John Metchi up
until this point. But then yesterday we finally saw the
downfield prowess of Adonni Mitchell kind of connect and that
adds upside because two weeks ago Tyrod was taking his
shots downfield to Mitchell, they just didn't connect. So he
brings some upside there as well. And on top of it,

(39:09):
it's the Dolphins, right, Like, I know they've been pretty
tough against the past, but you could run all over them.
It could be a game with the Jets are and
catch up mode like they mostly are. So yeah, I
think Tyrod, I'm not telling you he's gonna get you
twenty five, but he could get you a safe sixteen
to eighteen fantasy points. And if you're streaming off the
waiver wire, I think that that keeps him in play. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (39:30):
Again, we were talking about just streaming guys. That's that's
what we're hoping for, right If they if they somehow
exploding and you get twenty twenty five points, great, But
I think for these guys, it's just hey man, just
keep me in it and allow some other guys on
my team to sort of fill in the gaps, and
so that's kind of how I landed on Tyler Shuck.

Speaker 3 (39:47):
Look, it wasn't bad, but.

Speaker 1 (39:53):
He got your almost eighteen points, Yesterdady got your seventeen
point did and he did.

Speaker 2 (39:56):
It's doable. He got you.

Speaker 1 (39:58):
He got to tow them nineteen a couple of weeks
ago the Panthers. It's about exploiting matchups, and lately the
Buccaneers pass defense has not been good. Now the Bucks
can stop the run, which is fine because the Saints
can't run the ball anyway. I mean, even against Miami yesterday,
they could not run the football. Like all those Devin
Neal dreams that people had over the week, they went poof.

(40:21):
They all went poof against that bad Miami Miami run defense.

Speaker 2 (40:26):
So it don't matter that they can't run.

Speaker 1 (40:29):
The Bucks give up yards through the air, and Shuck
might get out run a little bit. Six rushes himps.
I mean, eighteen yards is not great, but not terrible.
He can move if he needs to, as long as
they chill on this Taysom Hill nonsense, which they sort
of did yesterday. So you know, shout out, shout, out
to them for that he played twelve snaps. They only

(40:49):
had two touches in the game, So you know, thank you.
As long as we can get calm that nonsense, the
matchup is good.

Speaker 2 (40:58):
And I mean again with.

Speaker 1 (40:59):
Shuck, I'm I'm I'm hoping for him expecting seventeen eighteen points.

Speaker 2 (41:04):
That's what I'm hoping for.

Speaker 1 (41:05):
And if that happens, then hopefully I can fill in
the rest of the way and make it work with everybody.

Speaker 2 (41:11):
Else on my roster.

Speaker 4 (41:12):
So free Spence, Free Spence.

Speaker 1 (41:16):
I mean, look, I think Spence is spent there in
New Orleans. Like what you did there, I think I
think it's done there for him.

Speaker 2 (41:24):
Running back.

Speaker 1 (41:25):
Some of the running backs that are off this week
Christian McCaffrey, most notably Treveon Henderson, some combination, we'll both
Rico Dado and Shuba Hubbard are are off, Tyrone, Tracy,
Devin Singletary.

Speaker 2 (41:37):
If you're into that sort of thing.

Speaker 3 (41:38):
Sure, every time a Panther gets mentioned, every time ever.

Speaker 1 (41:45):
The Panthers reference, Floria lifts up the shirt and reminds
reminds the call of what he's wearing.

Speaker 2 (41:49):
ELK, what is your running back season saver for this week.

Speaker 4 (41:55):
All right, because I had to calm down. Man, I'm
trying to keep the seven day crash out. My guy
wearing a Panther's shirt as a Bills fan. Where Josh
Allen has been hard to watch play football these last
couple of weeks. But I'm gonna let you live because
they winning games. They winning, bro, I cannot watch a
Bill's game, like, yo, what is Josh doing? But we'll
have that side conversation later. Kimani Videl, I think folks

(42:20):
are a little bit scared and hesitating about stashing him,
holding him or even starting him at the flex here right,
I would say this, well, Mariy Hampton coming back, there's
no way Greg Roman's putting a wet towel over Kamania Badel,
who just put up one hundred and twenty six yards
in the ground. He has shown us he has home
run ability. If he gets in open space, he's likely
running too the parking lot. Like I really do think

(42:42):
when Mary Hampton coming back, there's gonna be a ramp
up period. And in that ramp up period, this is
a system that already told us before the season even started,
before guys even put their cliques on the or laced
up that this is gonna be a one to two system.
We've seen with Naji and Mary Hampton. Now it's about
to be Hampton and Videl. There's no way they're gonna
bottle this guy up and put them all to the
side and give Hampton workhorse, you know, touches out the gate.

(43:05):
We're still returning back from an injury where put him
in a walking boot. So I think Camani Bidell can
be a guy that can save you in the playoffs
as well with that flex upside. Philly, Kansas City, Dallas, Houston.
These are the two weeks where I look at Dallas
and Houston. You're in the semi finals Championship. Dallas has
improved on the ground of stopping the run, but they
played a Saquon Barkley that has shown us very low

(43:27):
floors this season. They played Asson Genty behind the Raiders
o line that is employed at the movie theater and
post office, and a science teacher that's trying to block
for Gino Smith and Genti. So I do think there's
upside there. There's upside there for Comine. Videl's still having
impact in his backfield in a WONT two punch with.

Speaker 2 (43:44):
Hampton science teacher. It just you know, who did you
have out there?

Speaker 1 (43:50):
And No, it just reminded me that the guy who
was like our head football coach when I was in
high school and also a pe teacher, his name was Sweatfield,
which I'm.

Speaker 2 (43:58):
Like, that's the perfect combination of name and job.

Speaker 1 (44:02):
Shout out to Sweatfield man. Shout out, mister Sweatfield. I
don't know where you are what you're doing, but I
hope you're well, mister Sweatfield.

Speaker 2 (44:09):
Sorry, who's you're right back for this?

Speaker 3 (44:12):
To answer the question from earlier, Josh Allen's just being
the fantasy QB one, that's all.

Speaker 2 (44:16):
He's doing.

Speaker 3 (44:18):
Florie points more than Safford, just saying my RB here
is Devin Neil. Look, MG, I get it. What she
said earlier was true. He didn't live up to the
expectations that we had for him, but he did give
you just about ten PPR points, which is a same
floor I would say if you're looking to stream. But

(44:40):
the reason I like him this week is we've seen
the Bucks at times struggle against the run this year.
They've allowed a lot of yards before contact, they've allowed
a lot of out wide runs. But more than that,
they've allowed the most receiving yards to running backs both
this year and in the last five wee so this

(45:00):
has been a problem for them all year long. So
the Saints likely going to be trailing against the Bucks.
I wouldn't be surprised if if Devin Neil has you know,
something like five six catches in this one, and if
he does with the you know, fourteen carries he had
this past week, we could be looking at something like twelve, thirteen,

(45:21):
fourteen fantasy points. And again that's not a week changer,
but if you're just looking to plug someone in that
you can grab off the waiver wire, that that's pretty
rock solid. So I think he's more of a floor play.
But I do like him this week in this matchup.

Speaker 1 (45:34):
I do think the usage does you know, at least
give you reason to believe, right, I mean, eighty percent
of the snaps on Sunday, you know, Evan Hall barely there.
Rodrick Estday was pretty much just a special teams usage guy.

Speaker 2 (45:48):
So the him being on the field is step number one,
and he was on.

Speaker 1 (45:51):
The field a line So I think that's that sort
of reason to kind of be optimistic. This is all
if Kamara is out again, you know, obviously Kamara plays,
then we scrap all this since we come up with
another plan.

Speaker 3 (46:02):
Maybe that other plan is Blake Coorum and Luquan.

Speaker 2 (46:06):
I know you have been here for a while.

Speaker 1 (46:07):
You've been here for a while because you just don't
like Kiern Williams and you want him to say we
have grown.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Our relationship is more up off the Manhattan Beach pier.
It ain't that deep.

Speaker 1 (46:22):
I mean at that part of the ocean, it's not
that deep. It's deeper I view for the job. But
Blake Korum has been steadily gaming on Kyra. Now, look,
make no mistake, Kian Williams is still the RB one,
There's no doubt about that. And he's gonna have the
majority of the opportunity. He's gonna get the majorities. But
you're starting to see Korum now playing like thirty thirty

(46:44):
five percent of the snaps. He is getting a lot
of you know, last week, I think it looked and
he was getting about forty percent of the rushing. Itsseems
he was getting almost half of the work inside the
five yard line. So when they get down close, Sean
McVay is feeling just as comfortable putting Blake Korum back
there as he is Kien Williams. And we saw Korum
get the rushing touchdown yesterday. I think this is going

(47:06):
to continue, and I think this week, especially against the Cardinals,
it's a good matchup. I would say this if if
you don't have Blake Korum, I go get him and
I would just hold on to him do the rest
of the fantasy playoffs just because of the way the
Rams are using him, that's gonna make him viable. But
I do especially like him this week, and understand, look,
he's not gonna get a ton of touches. Necessarily having

(47:29):
any touchdowns absolutely going to help whatever his final number
is going to be. But I do think the usage
and the opportunity is going to be there for Kien.

Speaker 2 (47:37):
Williams coming up.

Speaker 4 (47:38):
Look at you, I love that for you.

Speaker 2 (47:40):
I can I say this whole time.

Speaker 1 (47:42):
I can say nice things about your team and it
doesn't give me indigestion, like it's fine.

Speaker 3 (47:46):
Thing about your team players. I just hate your team.
You can't you even you can't even call Brock Purty
by his actual name.

Speaker 4 (47:53):
Because he is kind of thirty. I mean, I'm just
saying he's been thirty as of late.

Speaker 2 (47:58):
Why some of the receivers weeks?

Speaker 3 (48:02):
Maybe that's a measuring stick.

Speaker 2 (48:05):
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (48:07):
Some of the wide receivers that are off this week.
Uh tenor Row McMillan, who continues to ball out. He
he has surpassed a Mecca Abuka. I know he like
the highs haven't been quite as high as a booka.
But the overall has been more consistent week to week.
Uh for McMillan, But he's going to be off this week.

(48:28):
Name a Patriots wide receiver Stefan Diggs, sure, Name a Wandale.

Speaker 2 (48:35):
Robinson's off this week? Uh?

Speaker 1 (48:37):
Juwan Jennings who might need to ice up after the
last couple of weeks. He's off this week.

Speaker 3 (48:42):
Dude, everyone hates him.

Speaker 2 (48:45):
He's a hey.

Speaker 1 (48:45):
Look man, he rocks in the same area as a
Draymond Green. Maybe maybe something rubbed off. I don't know,
they live in the same geographic area. Maybe they're trying
to do the whole same thing.

Speaker 3 (48:56):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (48:57):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Anyway, wide receivers Lakwani, I got.

Speaker 4 (49:01):
Jaden Higgins man, and I will say this, this last
month of football with him, man, it's just been reassuring right,
because I was high on him this summer, like I
had him in my top five wide receiver prospects. I
know this dude can ball like I think he is
a prototype of Nico Collins, and that's exactly how they're
using him a Nico in these last four games, fifty
yards per game, twelve and a half fantasy points for
a game. He could be relied on the have volume

(49:23):
strap to him. The yards are upside there for him
because he's a big play type of wide receiver, just
like Nico Collins. I like the motion that he has
going on right now.

Speaker 2 (49:32):
This is with c. J.

Speaker 4 (49:33):
Strou and Davis Mills, So it doesn't matter of who's
throwing the ball back there, it doesn't matter, you know,
the connection in chemistry timing he's had with Davis Mills,
because we're seeing him really put guys to the side
when we get to oard drop zones. There's a wide
receiver that no longer needs to be rostered. Like I've
looked around a lot of rosters in a lot of leagus,
I'm like, why is this guy still roster? With Higgins

(49:54):
balling like this? So I think he has that flex
opportunity to be a guy you could rely on all
the bench, Like, hey, I'm a little iffy this week
about QJ. Let me go ahead and put in Higgins. Like,
I really think that when you have guys that are
questionable and then have guys like Jada Higgins on the bench,
you're really grateful for these guys that can come in,
show up, and show out.

Speaker 2 (50:15):
Yeah, I mean, I think I just think there's.

Speaker 1 (50:18):
It's it's been a slow uptake, I think for everybody,
for Jade Higgins, just because he hasn't had that huge
blow up gate, right, Like you look at his stat
lines and they're steadily progressing, they're steadily getting better, and
the target share is going up. But you know, especially
in the midpoint of the season and in an offense
that hasn't wowed us, I think you need that blow
up game for a guy to break through the fantasy consciousness,

(50:41):
right because Chiefs calling it Chiefs and maybe maybe that's
his announcement to the world, right calling it. But but
I do think there's something there, and they are starting
to work him in and he's starting to get more
love and get more more production. But yeah, I don't
think it really breaks through until either he's in an
island game and people can see it. Or he just

(51:01):
has that game where he goes for like you know,
one twelve in.

Speaker 4 (51:04):
A touchdown Sunday night, Week fourteen.

Speaker 2 (51:07):
Teach a time.

Speaker 3 (51:09):
Who you got here, Flora, Alec Pierce and I have
no idea why Alec Pearce is only just above forty
percent rostered on NFL dot com leagues. I'd argue that
he I won't say he's the wide receiver one there,
but it's getting cleary.

Speaker 2 (51:24):
Yoh yo, whoa?

Speaker 3 (51:27):
I like Alec? I mean, he led them in receiving
yards last year. He's leading them in receiving yards this year.
Like he might not have the reception numbers that Pittman has,
but the upside is high. Like Pittman was clamped yesterday
against Houston. You know who wasn't Alec Pierce. He had
seventy eight yards a touchdown gave you eighteen fantasy points

(51:49):
and you look at his look the Chiefs he struggled against,
So did Pittman. Then they had their buy before that.
But before that two games or he topped seventeen fantasy points.
Like the floor has been l elevated, the ceiling is
still really high as it always is. And then this
week he gets the Jaguars who have struggled all year
against out wide wide receivers. They struggled all year on

(52:10):
the deep ball. I know they're playing better as of late,
but that is still a weakness for them. I think
Alex Peerce is I think both him and Pittman are
starts this week. But to me, there's someone he is
someone you could start with confidence, and yet he's still
out there on waivers in almost two thirds of leagues
on NFL dot Com. It needs to be way higher roster.

Speaker 2 (52:30):
Yeah, I mean I think he's another one too, right.

Speaker 1 (52:31):
I mean, he's had some of those big games, but
for whatever reason, it just hasn't It hasn't broken through.
I think we think about that Olds passing game, it's like, yeah,
well it's Tyler Warren, and then we still think about
Michael Pittman. But I think Alec Pierce, outside of the
nerds like us, just hasn't really hit. Similarly, ISAA Tesla

(52:55):
Now Granted, look, I wouldmit this, he's not a high
usage guy in the Lions off and some of this
is predicated on how serious the injury to Aman Ross
Saint Brown is like, if a'm on Rod plays, and
I think it's a lot harder to lean on Tesla.
But the dude has six catches and three touchdowns. Like
that's just efficiency is what that is, you know, And

(53:18):
they're all highlight worthy.

Speaker 4 (53:19):
How his preseason touchdowns too, man, Like I'm counting those.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
Infect during the game on Thursday, he just caught a
pass for a first down. It was like a twelve
yard catch or whatever the announcement, but it wasn't a touchdown.

Speaker 2 (53:30):
He's got to be disappointed, right.

Speaker 3 (53:32):
What's happening?

Speaker 1 (53:34):
So that yeah, I mean, look again, the matchup against
the Cowboys, it's on Thursday night, the potential to be
a really high scoring game with those offenses going back
and forth against their respective defenses.

Speaker 2 (53:46):
If Amon Rod does not.

Speaker 1 (53:48):
Play, obviously, Jamison Williams sort of his role changes into
more of a possession receiver and then suddenly Tesla becomes
the downfield threat kind of the big play option for
Jared Goff there. So if if we look like there's
no a'm on Raw and I was gonna say it's
a short week, but they played on Thursday, so it's
from Thursday to Thursday, so it's not really. They still
get the same number of days as it would be

(54:09):
for a normal week. But either way, if if ours
can't go, then Tesla might be the.

Speaker 2 (54:15):
Move for you. Coming up.

Speaker 1 (54:16):
Finally, tight ends basically what tight ends are off. George
Kittle is off, Hunter Henry is off, THEO Johnson is off,
and the big one Tommy Trimble is.

Speaker 4 (54:26):
Off to Tavian Sanders Sanders coming, we're.

Speaker 2 (54:34):
St Lucon.

Speaker 1 (54:37):
So the guy you have here, I would admit, like
when he did something last week, I was like, I
don't really buy it, but he did it again, so
so maybe I was wrong, And I'm fine being wrong here.

Speaker 4 (54:47):
I mean before the injury, we saw him put together
quite a few games where it's like, oh, well, driven
mid Lawrence, I'm sorry, William, Sir William has found his
tight end, Like he's found the replacement for Evan Ingram.
And like when we're we're seeing a guy back to
back weeks with a sixteen percent target share, that's not
a lot, but that's a lot for an offense that's
trying to support three other wide receivers in it. So

(55:09):
he has a role. He's found the end zoned yesterday.
I do like that you know he's staying consistent at
having a role in the offense. So I think when
we're looking at these tight end twos, these guys that
are just on the waiver wire, and you're looking for stability,
that is the big thing here at the tight end
position heading into the Fantasy playoffs. Stability. All we are
looking for is double digit fantasy points. Ten points, that's it,

(55:31):
ten plus points from a tight end that is in
an offense that has shown that we can get them
involved in. There's usage there, Yes, sign me up. Yeah,
and strange, folks.

Speaker 3 (55:41):
Britain strange, but double digit Fantasy points back to back weeks.

Speaker 1 (55:44):
So I'm I thought it was maybe a fluke, but
maybe it's not. Maybe there's something there. I like your
tight end calling this one to Florida.

Speaker 3 (55:53):
Yeah, Briton Strange is a great one. I have him
in a couple of leagues. And then this past week
I picked up Darren Waller in a number of leads.
Even if I had like Tyler Warren, because you never know, right,
like if that guy goes down, I don't want to
be in the Fantasy playoffs like desperate for a tight end.
So I added Darren Waller to cover my basis, and
this past week wasn't the biggest stat line for him.

(56:14):
I'm not gonna say it was three targets to catch
his forty seven yards. It was a team high forty
seven yards. But on that one target he didn't catch,
He just missed a touchdown, like his second foot didn't
get down in time. But he remains when healthy, their
top option in the red and end zone. And now
he gets the Jets this week, who one have struggled

(56:34):
to keep tight ends out of the end zone this
season and two just got absolutely cooked by Kyle Pitts
and Kirk Cousins this past week even though they won
the game. And then after that, the fantasy playoffs schedule
is the Steelers, the Bengals, and the Bucks. Like Darren
Waller is someone that you could stream in each of
those matchups, and to Lakwan's point, right, like you just

(56:56):
want ten points out of a streaming tight end. If
Darren waller'sc was a touchdown, he's sixty per if you
count the catch, He's seventy percent of the way there
on just that one catch for the sixth so he
always has a chance of breaking that number. I the
only concern is can he stay healthy for four more games?
Because we never know which is a concern.

Speaker 1 (57:16):
I mean, that's the name that we mentioned on the
show before because of the touchdown upside right. Knowing that
he doesn't get a lot of snaps. I don't run
a ton of routes, but when he's on the field,
they tend to look in his direction, and especially down
near the goal line. They use him there, so I
get In fact, I saw ulakw on I guess I'm
a blue sky yesterday going.

Speaker 2 (57:33):
Back and forth with somebody about it. Did you were
you were hyping up Darren Waller?

Speaker 1 (57:37):
And the response was, come on man, like that, Yeah
that's crazy, but yeah, I'm on your side.

Speaker 4 (57:41):
There the sky streets, they've been chirping and barking as well.
But I think Darren Waller, to Florio's point, like stability,
that's all we want. We've seen him get used more
outside the red zone. We're seeing this guy getting vertical attack.
Like I'm looking at Darren.

Speaker 3 (57:56):
Waller like.

Speaker 4 (57:58):
I see you over there balling boy day and they
got the beam on me.

Speaker 3 (58:01):
I might, I might pick up the next mixtape. I
ain't gonna hold you. I might I might support.

Speaker 4 (58:06):
What you mean, what not if he opened me one
fantasy what you crazy? I got to support folks. There
are going to be out there sending the fantasy streets
some love and sending the fantasy points each and every week. Yeah, man,
I love Darren Waller right now?

Speaker 1 (58:19):
All right, Well, let's do a review of the mixtape.
Then when you get it, you can oh, okay, most segment.
We'll set up a segment on the show you can
review Darren Waller's mixtape. So my tight end and look,
you can correct me if I'm wrong. There's a different
player here, LQ. But Kobe Parkinson just because of how
the Rams, just because of how the Rams run the

(58:39):
offense right, because they've been going heavy and thirteen personnel right,
a lot of the three tight ends, and Kobe Parkinson
is sort of in a ride share offense because basically,
you know, he has an escort. They're running a ton
of tight end screens. I don't even care how they're
doing it, the fact that they are doing it right.
And he had five targets yesterday, four catches for twenty

(59:00):
seven yards. Maybe it's not super exciting, but a big
part of this offense when it is going well, and look,
they just were kind of disjointed on Sunday against Carolina.
But when it's going well, we've seen those tight end
screens be effective. It's such a big part of what
they do, and it eventually opens things up for Pooka,
for Devonte Adams, everybody else downfield. So understanding that it's

(59:23):
not going to be fun to watch if you are
streaming Kolby Parkinson, and you know, there's always the chance
that maybe some of these go to like you know,
Ferguson or Davis Allen or somebody like that. But Parkinson
seems like the guy that's getting a lot of those
looks in that thirteen personnel.

Speaker 4 (59:40):
I would actually say something though they've actually been running
less thirteen personnels since we have actually pointed it out.
So I know McVeigh or somebody is a fan of
the show because I will tell you this. Each week
he has progressively used less of the thirteen personnel. But
still Bargason is finding his way for these tight end
screens that I absolutely hate. I hate him when they work,
I hate him even more when they fail. But I'm

(01:00:01):
just this is a great play.

Speaker 3 (01:00:04):
Stability is we're looking for.

Speaker 4 (01:00:07):
I absolutely hate when McVeigh draws up the tight end screen.
I don't like the play, but it works and it's
working for coolsonbarsmentson.

Speaker 1 (01:00:15):
So I mean it is it is unethical football, but
you know whatever, to each his own it works.

Speaker 2 (01:00:23):
Whatever.

Speaker 1 (01:00:24):
I don't really think it's unethical, but it is, like
it's hard to defend.

Speaker 3 (01:00:27):
Man.

Speaker 1 (01:00:27):
They got the guys to run it and run it effectively,
so I wouldn't be surprised. Also, yeah, we should talk
to to Jordan on NFL Daily with Greg Rosenthal because she.

Speaker 2 (01:00:35):
Does have a pipeline to McVeigh.

Speaker 1 (01:00:38):
Yeah, if we have any requests for targets or touches,
maybe we can funnel them to Jordan.

Speaker 2 (01:00:43):
She can funnel them to to McVeigh.

Speaker 4 (01:00:46):
When TO two is back, utilize him more that ten
million dollar contract. I don't want it to be one
catch that is meaningful this season for that ten million dollars,
Let's use and abuse him.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
How about no, because none of us, none of us
are rostering or starting to to.

Speaker 3 (01:00:58):
So what do you mean? Fastball League's were still out here?
The playoffs still matter?

Speaker 1 (01:01:03):
I guess now, all right, sure, enjoy it, you're here.
One chesch for sixty yards, it's gonna be and it
just touch down. Yes, this is one chach for sixty
yards or two too.

Speaker 2 (01:01:13):
Well, I'll take one more break. We'll come back and
waiver wire. Drop zone, all that kind of stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:01:18):
As we wrap it up here on the NFL Fantasy
Football Podcast.

Speaker 2 (01:01:25):
All right, drop zone.

Speaker 1 (01:01:26):
As we get to the final week of the fantasy
regular season, these are guys that probably are not going
to hold you over for the remainder of the year. Sure,
maybe one of them randomly pops up out of nowhere,
but the the law of average just says it's not
going to happen.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
So lakon, you were.

Speaker 1 (01:01:40):
Talking about a wide receiver to say goodbye to who
is it?

Speaker 3 (01:01:43):
Christian Kirk? Goodbye?

Speaker 4 (01:01:45):
I mean zero opportunities yesterday. I mean he played forty
six percent in the snaps. Seventeen routes were in. He's
out there just running cardio, He's jogging hands in the pocket.
I don't think that we're actually identifying that Jayden Higgins
has taken over that role as well in the slot,
because and Nico are flip flopping versatility in both of
them in and out of that slot playing out wide,
where Christian Kirk has left with his hands in his pocket, like, oh,

(01:02:07):
I'm just a guy here. So it's it's it's pretty
much over fifteen yards for a game in the last
four games, where you have Jaden Higgins in the last
four games being targeted on twenty nine percent of his
routes Alpha mentality. Man, he's got to get out of
the way.

Speaker 2 (01:02:22):
I kid you not. Two three weeks ago, I actually
had to google like is Christian Kirk? Is he hurt?
Is he on ir?

Speaker 3 (01:02:29):
Like?

Speaker 2 (01:02:29):
Where is is he? Did he get released?

Speaker 3 (01:02:31):
Like?

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
I literally had to look adown. That was like two
weeks ago, right, I think it was that. I think
it was right before that happened too. I was just like, hey,
is Christian Kirk like out of roster anymore? And I
was like, oh, he just got a touch there, Like oh,
I stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:02:45):
It really did. It really was like that.

Speaker 1 (01:02:46):
And you're like, said, he's averaging fifteen yards per game.
That's what that that's what that game against Buffalo where
he had fifty four yards?

Speaker 2 (01:02:53):
Oh my ah, yikes, that's real nasty. That's that's rough.
Uh floya, who are you saying about.

Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
To I would nine targets, five catches and twenty yards
be a good game, No, no, it would not. What
about a good three game stretch, because that's Ricky Piersoll's
last three games, Like since he's returned, it's just not happening.
And look, I still think there's talent there with Ricky pearsoal,

(01:03:21):
but Juwan Jennings is clearly getting volume over him. George
Kittle is clearly getting volume over him. And the thing
that I don't think it's factored enough when talking about
forty nine ers pass catchers is Christian McCaffrey like he
is the most catches by a running back at this
point in the season ever, tied Dulsin Eckler's record, like
he is a wide receiver one. So between those three guys, right,

(01:03:43):
there's barely enough volume for Juwan Jennings to be fantasy
relevant right now. There is not at all any enough
for Ricky pearsall. But because of the name, the expectations
that were put on him this summer, the offense that
he's tied to, he remains highly rostered. Like I was
prize to see he's as rostered as he is. So
for me, I think it is time. Even if say

(01:04:05):
he has a good game, we're at the point where
I need to see it more than once. And there's
four weeks left of the fantasy season. So I'm not
going to trust him with my season on the line
because pretty much we've reached that point. Maybe you have
next week clinched, but after that everyone season is week
to weeks. So yeah, I'm not risking it with Ricky Pearson, I.

Speaker 1 (01:04:25):
Think, I mean, I think the reason he's so rostered
is because he got hurt and people stashed him waiting, waiting,
waiting for him to come back and sort of hoping
that because like before he got hurt, he was playing,
well yeah those first first four games to games, yeah,
been to Seahawks.

Speaker 2 (01:04:40):
It hasn't it hasn't happened since he's come back.

Speaker 1 (01:04:44):
That's bad. So maybe maybe you can move on here.
A lot of people still holding on to JK.

Speaker 2 (01:04:51):
Dobbins.

Speaker 1 (01:04:51):
I saw that he was like almost sixty eight percent
I think rostered in NFL dot com leagues, and it's
just you.

Speaker 2 (01:04:57):
Can let it go. You know.

Speaker 1 (01:05:00):
The report was if the Broncos make the Super Bowl,
he has a chance to come back. Well that that
doesn't help you at all at this point, and so
it's just it's just right now. It's just it's sort
of housekeeping, right. You go through you're you're just cleaning
things out on your roster, cleaning out space, opening up,
you know, making room for other guys that can actually

(01:05:21):
be contributors to you for the rest of the season.

Speaker 2 (01:05:25):
And so JK.

Speaker 1 (01:05:26):
Dobbins, hey man, he did a lot for your fantasy
rosters when he was healthy and ready to go. That's
been a few weeks. But even before he got hurt,
the decline was sort of coming. We were we were
seeing a little bit more of R. J. Harvey get involved,
we were seeing some of the other players get involved
there in Denver, so that the numbers were even falling
for Dobbins.

Speaker 2 (01:05:46):
Then he gets hurt.

Speaker 1 (01:05:47):
He's not going to be back for you at all
this fantasy season. So if you're just holding on to him,
you can let that go now. So it's yeah, how
many people astering him. I think it's sixty five, sixty
eight percent.

Speaker 2 (01:06:00):
Something like that.

Speaker 4 (01:06:01):
Those are the stands out there, Like I feel like
his stands are a lot stronger than like then the
flash Gordon, when we were like, oh.

Speaker 3 (01:06:08):
My god, I'm back in the league.

Speaker 2 (01:06:10):
Nothing, nothing will be the giants like bro, you can.

Speaker 4 (01:06:13):
Let it go, Like I just let go of my
soccer cleakus from high school that I wanted to in
the nineties, Like I can't fit him anymore, so why
do I still have him? I have great moments, great
goals in them, but like for what, they're run down.
I mean one of the shoes are talking to me.
That's how is on rosters right now, get rid of it.
Just drop them off.

Speaker 3 (01:06:31):
It's cool.

Speaker 2 (01:06:32):
Let it go. Man. Were they were they at the
East Kuma? Where were they?

Speaker 3 (01:06:36):
They were the total nineties?

Speaker 5 (01:06:37):
Man.

Speaker 4 (01:06:37):
You remember those old like soccer cliaks and those old
soccer commercials. Everdo and Ronald Dina used to wear.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
It come total nineties. Those are classic cleaks there, Floria.

Speaker 4 (01:06:48):
You know you know no, Yeah, it's I don't know
anything on soccer.

Speaker 2 (01:06:52):
Got anyway.

Speaker 1 (01:06:55):
So dropping guys' chances are you're going to be making
moves to add guys, Florida.

Speaker 2 (01:06:58):
Who's on the waiver wire this week.

Speaker 3 (01:07:00):
Jacoby Brissett, because I don't know what more he has
to do for people to add him. It's still like
sixty percent available, and it's really it's like a personal
thing with me now, like add this guy already, so
I have to stop talking and telling you to add him.
We spoke about Tyrod Taylor earlier, Marcus, you talked about
Tyler Shook. I also think Tua Sona Bailoa is in

(01:07:23):
play as a streaming option this week against the Jets
running backs. I think Shruba Hubbard needs to be picked
up if he was let go. Lq's boy Chris Rodriguez
has taken over there in Washington as the RB one
and look the part. Devin Neil. We spoke about him,
Blake Korm, Marcus touched on him, and then Taja Spears
just I don't think he gets enough work to be

(01:07:45):
fantasy relevant unless something happens to Tony Pollard. But there's
upside there. Same thing with ket and Mitchell, who looks
the part when they give him the ball? And just
a reminder, add your handcuffs now like after this week,
buyser behind us. That is a good use of your
bench spots. Same thing with Christian Watson as Shakoby Brissett.
Why is he still available on waivers? He shouldn't be.

(01:08:06):
He is the Packers wide receiver one and he's going
off putting up numbers weekly already spoke about Alec Pearce.
LQ touched on Jayden Higgins a lot, Mike Evans, there's
more and more smoke that he could not only be returning.
Ian Rappaport tweeted today that he could return to practice
this week. So Jack, if he is out there on
your waiver list. Donnie Mitchell and John Metchi touched on

(01:08:28):
them when we were talking about Tyrod Taylor, Isaac Teslaw,
Marcus you hit on and then at tight end, Breton Strange,
Darren Waller we already spoke about. And then Dawson Knox
just because they get the Bengals next week. Obviously, if
Dalton kin Kate plays, get rid of this one. But
if he sits again, Dawson Knox, I do think is
in play as a streaming option just because it's the Bengals.

Speaker 1 (01:08:49):
Yeah, He and Mitchell thing man like, I'm curious whether
or not the Ravens is gonna start giving him more
opportunity just because I hadn't on so many teams just
in case. He's so explosive. And look, Derrick Henry is
still going to be your lead back. But you know,
at some point you just sort of acknowledge that you
know it's it just doesn't look the same with Derrick Henry.

Speaker 4 (01:09:09):
So I like Dawson Knox too. I mean turnovers you
think Josh are gonna have this week?

Speaker 3 (01:09:14):
Probably not three and lose. I mean wait wait wait
wait wait wait wait Marcus, you guys dog walk to
Carolina Panthers. The Bills beat them by thirty one. So
did we guys are two in your last four games?
Come on, bro, No, you're ozero and one and your
last one? Oh bro, I'm now stop.

Speaker 2 (01:09:33):
Now gonna be Brady way sweet? Want to know hashtag
girl dad.

Speaker 3 (01:09:40):
Let's go Joe after every win. And he did have
a daughter this weekend, so shout out to him.

Speaker 1 (01:09:46):
Well, congratulations show to Joe Brady on a good I'm
just kind of like Joe Brady.

Speaker 2 (01:09:51):
You might want to just keep a low profile on.

Speaker 3 (01:09:53):
Legitimately apparently reinstalls the app, tweets one and oh and
then deletes the app.

Speaker 4 (01:09:58):
He SAT's my man. That's how you operate the fantasy.

Speaker 1 (01:10:01):
So much that is that is that is legitimately trolling behavior.
That's exactly what that is.

Speaker 2 (01:10:07):
In some weird way, I kind of respect it. So
let's go job Anyway, those are a waiver wire options
for you.

Speaker 1 (01:10:14):
Go out, add some guys, get yourself ready for what
is the biggest week in the fantasy regular season, because
it is the final week in the fantasy regular season.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
But in the meantime I'm doing for this.

Speaker 1 (01:10:23):
Edition of the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast. Stay happy, safe

claims in everybody. We'll talk to you again on Wednesday.
