Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. It's Me and your Man, MG Marcus
Grant joined by Michael f. Florio and the Kwan Jones,
and uh we are We are smack dab in the
(00:21):
middle of the Thanksgiving season.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Absolutely, I'm ready to eat though, I mean, now it's coming.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
You two kind of an alternative Thanksgiving because I used to.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Eat turkey all the time as a kid and stuff.
Now living out here, like I don't my my family
is back East and stuff. So we're doing steaks because
I'm like, hey, I don't really love turkey. I usually
go ham. But I'm like, if it's just a small group,
but let's let's do it up.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I love that has two meetings, like I usually go Ham,
like as in like I usually eat pork products or
I just go wild on Thanksgiving, right, So there it is.
I like that too. It's also very much a like
I'm a grown up. I'm gonna do whatever I want.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, are you guys turkey people?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yes's fine. I mean Ham is better, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I can confirm that this man did not have turkey
at the Friends giving last I don't know it was
not there at all, So yeah, it wasn't a bit.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
By the way, Marcus makes great Brussels sprouts for everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
They were my favorite brussel sprouts I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh awesome. I love hearing that. We're gonna talk about
actual football too during the show today, we're gonna take
a look at the Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday games.
Who should just start? Who should you avoid? Plus we
got some hot takes on some hot meals heading into
the holiday. But first let's get started, as it's kind
of here, what's happening here?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Let's go, baby.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I should have known. I should have realized something was happening,
and that's why you were wearing jackets because it's warm outside.
I never even like you got me?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know what it is?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Congratulations a week bady. Okay, So, for those of you
who are listening at home, LQ and Flora Florio just
took off the sweatshirts they were wearing, which, by the way,
it is like seventy five grease here in Los Angeles today. Uh,
and they are wearing UCLA T shirts underneath. In case
you don't understand the reason why UCLA is playing USC
(02:09):
and the crosstown rivalry coming up to Saturday at the
LA Coliseum. Let's even have a rooting interest in this, Yes,
I do. This is a new team that I will
be rooting for because you look, they might be playing
in sofar stadium. Sorry yourself, still watching bad College?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What you mean? I think they're going to take it
back to that in nineteen ninety one, nineteen ninety eight
era where they were playing DT.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You see, you've actually done the research on this too,
know what's crazy? Tim Robbins, right, saw Shank, he will
be watching the game this weekend. I'll be watching saw Shank.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And look he just recently had a birthday too. Guess
how old he is?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
The Tim Robbins go to UCLA. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah he's yes, yes he did.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I honestly did not know that. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
this has been a thing for the last month. We've
had this idea since August. Yes, exactly, it was on
the schedule and it's been playing today as you see
a USC you know what. Kudos exactly, But you never
(03:08):
taken out broke out sewks gear.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He would have left it. Oh yeah, yeah, you guys.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Put in the work for this like I am. I'm
not even mad, I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Anyway, Robbins, I'll probably never wear this shirt again.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Jones Drew would gladly take them once you are done
with him. Anyway, let's be going with the fantasy lines
down that we've gotten past all of that. I will
start with the Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has been diagnosed with
a low grade sprained shoulder, had an MRI I earlier
in the week. Right now, his status for this week
(03:46):
is up in the air. They got a big one
against the Buffalo Bills, so Floria. When you look at this,
I mean, this is an offense that hasn't been playing
particularly well over the last month. Anyway, now they may
or may not have Baker Mayfield. Would you start a
Bucks wide receiver or if it is Teddy Bridgewater this week?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Only a Mecca Buka Look Godwin last week only played
fifteen routes.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I know Abuka struggled, but he did have eight targets.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And for me, I'm thinking about the teams that I
have at Buka on It's pretty hard for me to
get like I don't have another option. Maybe you do, though,
and if you do, I think it's okay to play
it safe because it looks kind of rough, like your defense.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Man, like Teddy.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Fresh off of winning a doing the best thing you
could do, right, like coaching high school kids. Winning you
guys gave him no introduction or anything. He was running
for his life and stuff. But it'll be a better result,
at least a little. It's not the Rams defense again.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm sure Teddy was like, man, I should go back
to coaching football. This is too much. I don't want
to be here right now. That's kind of how it
went for him.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I remember watching. I was like, I remember Teddy being fast,
like he has none of that left.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, he was like, it was very much like a
oh I did he was the meme of the guy
was like, oh me, like obviously had no expectation he
was gonna have to play who knew? Over in Minnesota.
JJ McCarthy is in concussion protocol following the loss to
the Green Bay Packers this past week, and it kind
of came out of nowhere where, and we mentioned it
(05:11):
earlier in the week because the the alert popped up
just as we were recording our Monday podcast. We didn't
really get into it in a real depth. Yeah, it
looks like Max Brosmer may get the start coming up
this week against the Seattle Seahawks. It was already a
bad matchup for the Vikings offense, and now you may
have to go getr backup quarterback. I'm going to ask
you a question that might sound out of pocket, Lakwan,
(05:32):
but would you consider benching Justin Jefferson this week against
the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If I have better options?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I mean you know, I ain't scared to a star.
That's why I ask you why scared? It stacked them
one season. I need to do whatever is necessary to
get the W. I am not confident putting Justin Jefferson
out there, but if I have no other options, I
cannot complain. I cannot have these expectations that we're going
to get wide receiver one production because it has not
been consistent this entire season. So shout out to Max,
(06:02):
you know, getting your star. But I have no high
hopes that Justin Jefferson will return back on wide receiver one,
you know, production this week.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He's like, you have something to add? Oh no.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I thought about it long and hard this week, and
then I wrote up Jordan Edison as the sit, and
I was like in the Blurbom was like, I just
don't have it in me to be to tell everyone
to sit. Justin Jefferys I'm saying it, how look, this
might be a good thing for Justin Jefferson, Like I
know their backup is an undrafted rookie who was making
his first NFL start. It might be a good thing
(06:34):
for Justin Jefferson to not have to play with JJ.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I just I credit Jefferson's restraint because you can see it.
You can see the frustration right like on his face,
in his body language when another target sails like three
yards over his head or something like that, Like you
could tell he's really frustrated. But like if he went
straight up AJ Brown, like, I don't think anybody would
(06:58):
blame him.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I want him to do right, please crash out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, it just it hasn't happened. And so I do
I respect his restraints.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I think he knows though, Like with AJ, it's like, dude,
give me the ball, give me a chance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They're trying to get it. He just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's that's very true. So you guys have if you've
been watching the show, you've been following along. You know,
there's been a little saga brewing about Lakwan Jones and
his ability to run the forty. He had suggested to
us so that he could run the forty in about
four to six four six seven something like that. So
we finally put it to the test. We went out
(07:36):
to the field, the practice field right behind the network
studios here, and we set it up with some cameras
for Lakwan to run the forty. And here it is,
this was I believe. Is this the second Is this
the second run? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It is it is.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think that's the second run. I love the head
duck that you had there.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I had to keep my head up so I
don't run into the fence, so I think that kind
of slowed me down a little bit. But that five
five eight, I think I was sabotage, guys, sabotage because.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Marcus I think when he said go, he started the
clock already before I jumped off the line where we
need to shave some off or do it again, I
was ready to run it back. You can run it back.
So here's the thing, and I will, I will, I
will give you my process here right because the first
time you ran it was like a five eight six,
and I think I did actually that time hit it
as soon as I said go, And I was like,
you know what, that doesn't seem fair. You ran a
(08:24):
five eight six. So the next time when I said go,
I actually waited for you to start and then I
hit it. So the five five eight is a little
closer to legit than the five eight six.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
What I'm here.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Marcus saying is it should have been.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
A five to six.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, they're mitigating circumstances. One, we think the field
was forty yards, like we think it's forty yards. But
also you had no you had no runway to stop
like you guys had to pull up before the time. Yeah,
that is true. I did pull up. You could see
the video. We have the second worth of difference. Though.
I wanted to set the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Bar for six, but being one second off well past
my prime and when I've done.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That, Yes, I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad
at it.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm glad you've come to that, because that's what we
all said to you last week, and you were like.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The hardest critic to myself. But I was because I
should be running the hardest critic.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You're the hardest person that sits on like your expectations
are just wild.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Like if you were like I could run a five
one or so we've been like right now four six, Like,
that's that's prob Give me, give me, give me march
and the combine is up. I'm going to be doing sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I will run in March with you next to the
combine it next up, we're gonna rent to Kangaroo and
see if Laqua can fight that too.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
All right, that's a that's a deep cut, dem summer.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We got a kangaroo. Would you step in the ring?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, I got kids.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Man, is the wisest thing.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
This something I've done my research since we've been talking
about it.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Now there's the thing that you started an epidemic. There
have been a couple other fantasy analysts who have recorded
themsel running the forty. So maybe we can make this
a thing.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Any fantasy analysts out there, if you want to run
the forty, record it and send it to us, to us.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Because right now, fast as fantasy analyst out there in
the fantasy streets of the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Two who have recorded that is I mean, you're not wrong,
It's just a small sample side. That's all I'm saying.
All right, back to the actual football on the field
as we dive into the Thanksgiving slate of games. We'll
start with the first game of the day, the Packers
at the Lions and the first to score touchdown odds
no surprise and Manu or Jamiir Gibbs is ahead of
(10:32):
Emmanuel Wilson. Gibbs, who scored three touchdowns and put up
a nuclear fifty five fantasy points last week's I'm no surprise.
He's at the top of the is, followed by Emmanuel Wilson,
and then Josh Jacobs there even is I guess. We
wait to see if Jacobs is going to be available
for Thursday morning early afternoon. I guess, depending on where
you live. Then a couple of Lions i'mn Ross, Saint
(10:53):
Brown and David Montgomery rounding out the top five. As
we look a little bit further. They're into this game, though, Floria,
I'm gonna ask you about the Packers passing game and
do you trust any part of it? I mean, quarterback receivers,
tight ends, any part of this Packers passing game that
inspires confidence in you.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I actually have two Packers as starts this week, I
have Jordan Love as a start because and I've had
Jordan Love as a sit for like six weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
In a row.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
The thing is, they blitz at a high rate, and
Jordan Love has excelled against the blitz. And I know
that didn't translate to success last year a week against
the Vikings, but the Lions have also. Jordan Love has
a thirteen to two touchdown interception ratio against man coverage,
and the Lions play man at the highest rate in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And then I like Christian Watson.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Who has taken over as their wide receiver one three
straight weeks, leading them in snaps and routes. But he
averages thirty more yards per game in his career indoors
than outdoors. So with this being an indoor game against
a the legion of whom which is the best in
the football right now, I do think the Packers passing
attack can come through.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, you know, I like Christian Watson because he seems
to be the only consistent wide receiver there. I just
I look at Jordan Love, at least from a fantasy standpoint,
and he's kind of the Mendoza line right for you
baseball nerds out there, it's like if you're if he's
above Jordan Love, then you feel like you got a
good starting fantasy quarterback. If it's below Jordan Love, yeah,
it's like Jordan Love is just he's oatmeal in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, I I never want like I I feel bad.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I was like, am I ignoring him? Like he's a
good player? I have no interest drafting him? And now
I'm like, yeah, I'm so happy. I look at I
hear a producer quapsy, and I like, opal.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, O'tmeal's fine. Here's oatmeal is filling. It's healthy when
you dress it up right, it can be delicious. When
you go out to breakfast with your friends and family,
nobody sits at the restaurant goes like, let me get
some of that oatmeal, Like.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You just don't do that. He can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just fine, is what it is. As we sort
of cross between the two sides here, I'm gonna ask you, Lakwan,
to choose your fighter. If you're picking a quarterback for
this game and fantasy is Jordan Love is it? Jared Golf.
Jared Golf, I think.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
We've seen him play enough in you know, in the
Thanksgiving game where there isn't much turnovers any he has
eight touchdowns. I think when you look at Jordan Love,
it's kind of scary that he can go out there
last week and still win the game with zero touchdowns.
And for fantasy that is a scary floor. I think
Jared Golf, at least for the last couple of weeks,
eight touchdowns in his last four games, eighteen Fantasy points
(13:25):
per game versus Jordan Love, that's been ten Fantasy points
per game. So I think this one, I'm going for stability.
I don't want to be crashing out and the Thanksgiving,
you know, holiday season with the family and stuff, watching
Jordan Love go out there and stink it up. So
I'm not going to even try to open that door
for myself to ruin Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I'm proud of you. You got through that without saying Jared Goof.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Jared Goof is going to show up. He's been pretty
good on Thanksgiving. I ain't gonna kick us back in
it's holiday season.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I feel a little good.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The Packers did slap him up in Week one.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
They did, they absolutely did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But I do think the Lions look more like the Lions,
Dan Campbell on the sticks man, keep him on there.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I will still think I would rather have Golf I
get Yeah, when you look at the Lions. Obviously we
talked about Jamiir Gibb and having the huge game Florida.
What is your concern level with David Montgomery?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Extremely high. I have him in a couple of teams
and I'm like, I don't really want to start him.
And but the thing is, he's an anchor player, right
because you're never going to drop him.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
His name is value.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He like, the potential that he could be if something
happens to Gibbs is far too high where you don't
want to drop him, but you don't want to start him.
In three of his last four games, he's played less
than forty percent of the snaps. And even with Dan
Campbell coming out and being like I want to get
him more work, he's eleven carries in their last two
games combined.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The Packers are a really tough run defense.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
So yeah, and this isn't just a one week thing, Like,
I'm very concerned with Monty moving forward the rest of
the year.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, it's played out kind of the way I feared
it would, I said, coming in the season. This was
the first year in a while that I was off
of David Montgomery because it fell like they were going
all in on Jamior Gibbs and it's sort of worked
out that way.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You can't blame him, no, like it's working.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, absolutely no.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I mean it's a smart move. Bro can handle it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Though. He had like three hundred touches last year, so
it's like, why not push more on his play if
he had handled.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know, but seven games this year with forty
or fewer rushing yards and not really giving you enough
in the passing game to make up for what's missing
on the rush.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Eventually this was going to happen, right, like eventually the
change of the guard, and like we're kind of seeing
it now, Like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I still think, like if you put Moncy on any
other team, I think he could be good.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I just think Jamier Gibbs might be the best runner.
He just have a really premier running Yeah, it's ahead
of him right now. Even the scene goes down, Heroes
eventually die.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Is he the best running back alive?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Or it's like hammer Bijon, I feel like, yeah, I mean,
if we're going to pound for pound and like age.
I mean think Christian McCaffrey is still in that mix.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I have thoughts, but like next year, one oh one
very well might be Gibbs.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, it's also very wild that here we are, starting
week thirteen, the top three scores in all of fantasy
football are running awesome wild. We will keep going at
our look on the Thanksgiving Day games and Black Friday
as well. Stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy
Football Show, continuing on with the Thanksgiving Day slate. It's
(16:17):
the game that's probably going to draw a ton of
hate watchers across the country. It's the Chiefs at the Cowboys.
The four thirty Eastern time slot. You can see that
game on CBS. So here's the thing. Most people outside
of Dallas hate the Dallas Cowboys. Most people around the
country outside of Kansas City are sick of the Chiefs.
So basically, whoever wins, you know, we lose, or whoever
(16:40):
loses we win. Either way. No, there's a clear team
that I'm rooting for in this one, the Cowboys. Oh yeah,
La Coule, would you start Kareem Hunt in this one?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
My expectations are a little bit different now with Pacheco
back like with him playing this week, it does have
me kind of pull back as him as a flex
this week. But hey, the dude's been balling these last
four weeks. I know that last week he had a
career high at thirty rushing attempts. I'm pretty sure he's
looking at Pacheco like, thank you that you're back, because
I hope I never have to do that again. But
I do think, you know, he still remains a guy
(17:10):
that you can have expectations when they get in striking distance,
and I know Mahomes is going to keep them in
striking distance because even with Pacheco healthy cream, Hunt was
the red zone guy. So those valuable touches where he
can sneak in six points, I guess I can have
that on the table for that picture ick and Paint
to have him as a starter. But my expectations are
nothing like what it was last week. I mean he
(17:31):
had the one hundred and four rushing yards I think
it was last week.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm thirty carries.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh, that's insane that you.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Put him to do that. It's kind of like, what
it's crazy that he got thirty carries? Yo?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
What's good with Brashaw Smith?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
They're like, Yo, we know this is it, Please give us.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I mean, we're just gonna We're gonna run this car
till it's out of gas and the wheels are falling off.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
At this point, just like a Seinfeld where the thing
is below eating Creamer's Like, let's see how exactly so?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I mean, but so to that point then mentioned Isaiah
Pacheco looks like he's gonna come back this week. Would
you would you throw him in a lineup?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It depends.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Like I have a fourteen team league where I have Pacheco, Like, sure,
I'll throw him out in that, But in like most
of my twelve team leagues with no teams on buy,
I think I would take a wait and see approach
with him.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The Cowboys run defense has been better the last couple
of weeks. Williams, they got Quentin Williams, and it really
has changed things. I mean, I know that they said
they wanted some guys up front to help stop the run.
Jory Jones. Why would you need to add somebody up
front to help stop the run? Why would you need
to add another player to help with that? I'm just
I'm just asking questions, that's all. But they have been
(18:39):
better I mean I think I think I added up
like last two games ninety combined rushing yards that they've allowed.
They shut down the Eagles last week running the ball
as well, so.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Which is not easy to do.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Not easy to do, not at all. All Right, a
little bit of choose your fighter here for you, Florio
tight end edition, Travis Kelcey or Jake Ferguson. This one
seems fairly easy to me, is it?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Kelsey?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It is Key, That's what I was saying. So, yeah,
they're the better matchup. He gets the better matchup of
the two, and then Ferguson. It makes total sense. But
since they've gotten Lamb and Pickens both back out there,
like he is the clear cut number three target, and
if he doesn't get a touchdown, he's kind of like
Dallas Goddard to me now, Like if he doesn't get
a touchdown, you're looking at single digit days and maybe
(19:19):
less than five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, I mean he was hot early in the season
because he was scoring a lot of touchdowns. Yeah, when
you look at his game logs, like the yardage numbers
have never been great. You know, it's on fifty maybe
he tops out of like sixty sixty five that's kind
of been it, but it's been not so great with
you know, with Jake Ferguson lately. George Pickens. Yeah, before
(19:42):
the season started, Lakwan, he said that him and Cedee
Lamb were like Mario and Luigi.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Now, I'm like, is it just like Mario and Mario?
I mean, like, is is George Pickens the wide receiver
one now in Dallas? No?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I think he's the more reliable wide receiver because you
still looking at CD Lamb taking all the red zone targets,
all the targets period, Like in the last four games.
You know, we're looking at CD Lamb out targeting George Pickens.
But George Pickens has made more of the impact in
the last four games one hundred and eleven receiving yards
per game, eighty one percent catchery. The reliable hands that
he has is what's keeping this Cowboys offense as a
(20:18):
top five scoring offense. So I think once we see
the dynamic between the two kind of stabilized, which there's
still time for them to stabilize. With this new dynamic,
that Dak has another wide receiver he can throw to
and rely on. So I think Cede Lamb with these
big drops in recent weeks. That's what's been killing his
fantasy production. Because two weeks ago your boy lost by
point four because he dropped that walk in touchdown. Why
(20:41):
did we do that? But you know, it's okay. I'm
just gonna let that go and hope that he can
get it together when the fantasy playoffs comes around.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You know who could use a wide receiver like George
Pickens the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow, it's amazing to see.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, you know, just on the drops thick like Cede
Lamb has dropped more production than anyone this year. And
like when it's Quinn Johnson, everyone's like he's the worst water.
Everyone's like, oh, you'll be okay. His resume is a
little bit heavier.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It is.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's just it has been insane to see how much
production he is just dropped right on the fields.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I have been told multiple times by my good friend
and wide receiver whisper Matt Harmon, that drops do not matter,
that drops drops only matter when they stop throwing you
the ball.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I agree, except for when you're fantasy point six. Drops
matter then they always matter, but it don't matter forecasting,
but they matter when you're in a fantasy game.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You know, yeah, you know, as long they keep going
back to it's fine. It's like when the coach is
yelling at you, that's not the problem. It's when the
coach gives up and stops yelling at you at all,
that's when you should be worried.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Kind of in the world of wrestling, right you want
to be booed or cheered. If they don't make any noise,
you're doing something you're doing, yeah, exactly, So anyway should
be a fun one.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I will see how things go out between the Chiefs
and the Cowboys travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens
on Thursday night, Florio. Then you start Joe Burrow in
his first game back from injury.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think so, Like you've waited this long and it's
not like quarterback is the best right now. And the
other thing too with the Ravens is like they've been
tougher as of late, but they're still giving up a
lot of yardage. They've just limited the touchdowns as of late. Also,
in two games against them last year, you guys could
tell me if this is good or not. Burrow threw
(22:27):
for eight hundred and twenty yards and nine touchdowns in
two games.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That seems good.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, yeah, I'm playing them the lock.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'm probably playing him. I have him on a roster.
I have to go look and just see what the
other matchups are. Part of me is like, oh I
lasted this long without him, Like, yeah, maybe one more
week because he's got the mini buy too. True.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It depends on.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I guess what your other options are.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yes, if you like Jacoby.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Brissett or him, that might be a conversation. But like
going a little bit like I would play him over
golf or love I think.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Personally that's right. If even joke weset it and forget it,
might might be on the chopping block. I do love me.
I never set this week too against Tampa. I think
I like it or not that against Tampa. No Tampa,
this is Tampa. Yeah, I like him this week. All right,
we've been doing Hu's your Fighters all throughout the show.
We'll do another one here for you, running back edition
(23:18):
on Chase Brown or Derrick Henry. Hey Meadow, What is
the weather on the East Coast right now? Got folks
making a business decision tackling Derrick Henry. He is putting
up twenty Fantasy points in back to back games. We
are all going King Henry this week. Chase Brown had
an impressive outing last week against the Patriots fifteen Fantasy
points over one hundred yards. We know how stout that
(23:40):
Patriots defense is. I think he could still have a
decent game. But I think King Henry has a thirty
burger in the future this week.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
What thirty burger?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's nice. I mean, this is that time of year, right,
it's always November December, the weather starts getting bad. I mean,
I don't think people really want to tackle Derrick Henry. No,
even when the weather's good, but especially not what it's bad.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I think he just surpassed his high school yardage too.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's about that's wild that it's taken him.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Here's a key. I don't know if he saw it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
He on pace to break his high school records.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I hope he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No what I've seen this because Derek Henry was like,
go get it, man. I was very encouraging, like go
get it. It's it'll be cool. Hopefully that guy becomes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
The next Derek Henry. But like Derek Henry's video game
stats are st fun to point that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I mean, there's still like there's you always see that
list of his like senior year totals and there's like
the one team that like held him to like five
or something like that. In the game, they went home happy,
right for two hundred yards on us, man, we did something.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We're the best.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Who knows, uh. Lamar Jackson has kind of been on
the struggle bus the last few weeks and he was
great at the start of the year. He got hurt
and hasn't really gotten back to that. But he gets
the Bengals Florida was just a get right game for Lamar.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
It has the potential to be like this is how
bad though it has been for Lamar. Tyrod Taylor Week
scored more points than Lamar has in the last two combined.
It is his worst two game stretch as a pro.
Zero touchdowns in that stretch.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
The thing is like, yes, I don't have it in
me to sit Lamar where I have him, and on
paper he should thrive in this. It is the best matchup.
He has a history of success all of that. I
am not sold that he is healthy though.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Because he is not looking one.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
He's not running in general like I think it's He's
averaging twenty rushing yards per game since returning. But even
more than that, he had a number of runs the
last couple of weeks where I'm like, a healthy Lamar
probably houses that or at the very least turns it
into a big play and it's like a three yard game.
So the upside is very high. We all know what
he can be. I just don't know how healthy he
(25:47):
is right now.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, it's interesting to say that too, because you're right, like,
I sort of see it in the rushing numbers, right,
It's less than the passing numbers. It's more of the
rushing numbers. I think the last couple of weeks, it's
been in like the thirties thirties something year cards per game.
That's not Lamar Jackson. You want that number to be up,
you know, fifty sixty, seventy and above for the Jackson.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
If he struggles this week, he will be entering the
middle meter. We're gonna have to try.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We're not. No, we're not. I can't allow. I have
to put my foot down. We cannot middle meter. Lamar
Rais Jackson. It's him saying, not me. It's me.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
They like me in.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Baltimore, like Lamar Demetris Jackson will not go in the
middle meet. I just will not allow that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I will.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I will because then Ravens will put the target. Yes,
bring the smoke, he will if he disappoints a big fan.
Look over there.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, they do not like me.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
In Baltimore, we.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Are hoping that Lamar Jackson is not a turkey on Thanksgiving.
We want those guys to go out and produce. But
some guys to avoid some Thanksgiving they turkeys in fantasy.
Some guys to avoid Lakwan. Who is somebody you are
not going to put in a lineup for.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Thir I'm not putting Romeo Dobbs. I told you, I'm
trying to have a peaceful Thanksgiving, no crashouts, no stress,
trying to cool, calm and collected. Romeo Dobbs, since Watson
has came back, has kind of lost his identity and
roll being there. In the last three games, he has
not had a single target over the twenty plus are
ars that he was getting before Watson. And when you
look at what Watson's doing, man, he is taking over
(27:16):
as the wide receiver one and honestly, you're looking at
Romeo Dodds being capped with his ceiling, not getting those
deep targets. Now we're seeing a few weeks that he's
had these drops as well. So I cannot bank on
Romeo Dodds with no buys this week, or I can
have different options and be kind of flexible in that
area this week more.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Like Romeo drops An't it right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
That johns n is brutal.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Brutal you sort of hinted at your guy to avoid
on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, it's David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Look.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Week six is literally half the season ago. Since then,
he is averaging less than eight Fantasy points per game.
His high mark since week six is eleven Fantasy points.
That's no floor, no ceiling. And on top of it,
in week one, the Packers held him to eight Fantasy points.
They don't allow a lot of touchdowns, they don't allow
a lot of long runs, and if anyone gets that production,
(28:07):
it's gonna be Jamior Gibbs. So I texted I have
a team where I co managed with a couple of people,
and I was like, we need to sit find a
way to get David Montgomery on our bench this week.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
It just has to be.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I mean, like the matchup, Like I'm at the point
where I'm playing Jamior Gibbs regardless of the matchup. Is
I am very much you know, picking and choosing where
I'm playing David Montgomery at this point.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Here is this spicy here.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It was Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And it's not like necessarily that he's going to be bad,
just I like one, I'm always like, I don't necessarily
want to play a guy on a Thursday if I'm
not confident in them. But having him miss this much time, oh,
this is this.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Is scars from the from two.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Uh, I've been hurt like this. You know, we haven't
seen him in a while. He's been dealing with the
turf toe issue and I don't know in lakwan plug
years on this one, like watching Rock Purty on Monday
night coming back off turf toe and just looking like
he could not drive the football a little bit. That
(29:01):
makes me hesitant, right, I get that, And so like
it's more about like, look here, I could send Joe
Burrow and he could go off and have a Joe
Burrow game right here, come out and throw four touchdown
passes and put up thirty points.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'll live with that, at least for this week. He
is rocked thirty. I mean Rock Purdy as the example
for Joe Burrow, though.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Had a similar injury we saw, Remember we saw mirror
excused Ago and John when Joe Burrow had the bad
calf and he couldn't like push off and throw the football.
He was bad. And then the calf got right and
then he look like Joe Burrow again, Like I don't know,
I just want to make sure he had a long
list of injuries.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
These guys need to go in whatever that crypto tank thing,
that Matthew Stafford, yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
His career, that a mortal, that immortal, the you know
what immortal. Maybe he's undead. Maybe that's what it is.
And here's experience not human. What are you talking, Roger.
We need to we need to launch an investigation into
Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We need to be looking in to see him. See
that's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I'm just saying that your quarterback needed a back of
the out of me before the season started. Now all
of a sudden, you're falling apart, but the guy with
the highest risk.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Is still good.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well that's because that's because Kyle Shanahan made a deal
with the devil. Like, please let us chief see him
see healthy and like the Monkeys, Paul curled and everybody
else went to dust. That's insane. That's exactly what happened.
So there you go, Dan for a quick break. We'll
be back with our players to avoid and the Black
Friday Game preview after this done. Now for the Black
(30:32):
Friday Game, it's the Bears and the Eagles. You can
see that one Friday at three pm Eastern on Prime Video. Florida.
Saw DJ Moore have a couple of touchdown catches last week.
Does this mean he is officially back? No.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I think it means he's trending in the right direction.
But I still have him as a sit this week,
more so for the matchup. But I do think it's
worth pointing out, like he gets seven targets last week,
that ties his season, like they're just not featuring him
as much as we would like. But even more than that,
he gets the Eagles this week. They've allowed just six
(31:08):
touchdowns to receivers all year, just two since Week eight,
fewest fantasy points per game into the month before they
played the Cowboys. The Cowboys are gonna cook most secondaries
because of the talent they have, but the Eagles are
looking like one of the better ones in football. Plus
they get after the quarterback at a high rate, and
we've seen that. You could still rattle Caleb, like, look
(31:28):
shout out to the Bears. They're ain't three, They're in
first place. I think it's been a lot of luck
on their side. Well, like, Caleb still has a lot
of growth to do, which if you're a Bears fan,
I mean this as a compliment, like, you guys are
winning with Caleb like he is. Now, get him a
little bit more time in the system, and you guys
conna be cooking with fire. I mean, like, I.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Think he's playing well. I think to your point, though,
the reason part of the reason they're in first place
is because it's a division full of question marks. Yeah right.
I mean the Lions haven't looked great consistently, and they're inconsistent.
The Packers are kind of up and down?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Are they the.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Right? I mean, the Vikings don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I still think the Packers and lines are better than
the Bears, but the Bears are running hot right now.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Maybe. I mean it's funny that the Vikings had two
shots at a quarterback and they let them both go,
and both those guys are having good years at other
places right now, right like could have had Sam Donald,
They could have had Daniel.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Jones wear Sam Donald's revenge game this week. That one
feels like an actual revenge.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Game to me, you know what, you know what that
actually now now I'm sort of sad that I don't
think we're gonna see JJ McCarthy in that game, yeah,
because that would have been like, you know, like Sam,
this over me, touchdown, like points up to the owner's
booth and looks at J. J. McCarty Like that would
have been amazing. Something like that happened, all right, next
(32:51):
edition of Use Your Fighter Kwan back to the tight
ends Bolston Loveland or Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Oh, I honestly on Loveland because obviously I'm loving everything
I'm seeing these last couple of weeks. And he's been
Kalo's most reliable target, honestly, because when you look at
the last four games, sixty five receiving yards per game,
and then you look at the eighty five percent catch
rate reliable hands versus DJ Moore with fifty percent in
the cat tray and Roma Dunes. They had some nasty
(33:19):
drops these last couple of weeks with a thirty nine
percent catch trate. This is not good. I'm looking at
the results of where this guy this last month of
football has given us fifteen fantasy points per game in
three touchdowns. He's getting after it as a vertical threat,
and he's getting after ety yards after to catch. So
what can you not love about Colston Loveland? Yeah, no,
I'm down with it, you know, and I know for
(33:41):
a lot of us, and I'm looking at myself. I mean,
we drafted him with the whole premise of and Johnson
took him first. Yeah, there's got to be something there,
and obviously it didn't happen early. I am sort of
laughing at the people who, after like a month were
just like Colston Loveland's a bust. Like I mean, Cago,
there's a lot of negativity when we look at the
(34:02):
tight end position. It's been Cole Commits season.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
You gotta be patient with a rookie tight end. But
just you know, four games, it wasn't like he was bad.
He was kind of hurt and he was like learning
the offense.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, he wasn't playing like it wasn't on the field.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know, we might have to have a conversation about
Roman duneesay.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Bro, it's it's gone south. Yeah, it's big way. Ain't
nobody talking about it. Everybody's kind of just like, well,
his dad is.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, there's always that.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
His dad's talking about it a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Maybe he got with uh he has to catch the ball, dad,
and I'm sorry, maybe stop dropping it.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
He should connect with Odell Beckham Senior because remember when
Odell's dad was I'm pretty sure they're in the group
checks on Twitter like XO videos on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
What's funny though, is like Baker's probably turned out to
be the winner in that situation, Like he's great.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I mean back then, maybe not. Father time came
for Odell. I mean, he was probably gonna be a
Super Bowl MVP had he not gotten hurt when team
was it. I can compliment your team, like it's possible
for me. They could say you knew and recognized game.
What's all? What what other team would he have? Because
the Giants were bad, the Browns were bad. I'm just
saying margins, but they never sniffed the Super Bowl. Yeah,
(35:17):
I just I can. I can compliment your team. It
doesn't give me indigestion to say nice things about the Rams.
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Anyway, back back to Bears and Eagles, as we got
way off track here. As usual A J. Brown den
to Smith had nice weeks last week, we get back
to back smash games for them.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yes, So the thing I I wrote about them on
start sit this week, And I know a lot of
people are angry with the Eagles passing attack, but I
like that it is one funnel through their top two stars.
Both have over a twenty five percent target share, over
a thirty three percent air yard share, and thirty one
(35:58):
plus percent first ree rate. Like every single passing play
is operating through these two.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And then the Bears.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
They have a lot of the fourth most touchdowns on
the year, the fourth most yard since Week eight, and
they are really struggling against the deep ball, which is
Philly's best strength through the airs.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
So I think we saw last.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Week right, Like the upside is just simply too high
for both of these guys that you live with the
down weeks and you start them weekly.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think it's going to be a real interesting conversation
next year about where we're drafting. I guess the question
is one, is AJ Brown gonna still.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Be he's a first round pick when he's catching passes, Josh, you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Know what, that's probably fair. That is probably fair at
this point because it's it's been frustrating and you know, Lolreno,
you and I went in on you know a j.
Brown is a first round pick this year, all three
of us three, let's say, I bought in.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, I mean it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
We couldn't predict the crack. Now we thought they were
learning their lesson. The good thing that is you were
able to get them in the second round.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Sometimes it doesn't hurt any less, but it does hurt
a little.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
It hurts a little bit. Here's a little less at
this point for sure. So Bear's eagle should be a
good one. Black Friday Football, I guess this is just
gonna be part of our lives from now until the
heat death of the earth, dying for our spicy takes
of the week, but doing something a little bit different
with our hot takes, which dish is the one of
Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This could be controversial based on the households, but macaroni
cheese is nice side man, How it's delivered, how it's
brought to the house in the full tray, especially with
Grandma with the crispy top on the macaroni and cheese.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That is a main event.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Okay, I've seen plates covered in macaroni cheese and then
there's everything else, you know, so like if it's good
and it's smacking and Grandma got her hands in it, yeah,
that's one.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
On one all right. I'm down with mac and cheese
one day. I do want to try the Andy Reid.
Have you seen the Andy Reid like six cheese, mac
and cheese whatever? It is. The very excellent Charles McDonald,
who does a lot of great stuff over at Yahoo
years ago somehow ended up talking to Andy Reid at
an airport and they ended up talking about mac and
(38:05):
cheese and gave him his recipe. And it's like a
you can go find I think you can just google
like Andy Reid macaroni. It is like have you seen
red like he meatballs? I don't think you are built
the way Andy Reid is and not love food right
and like no shade, it's just what it is. But yeah,
you can go and google it. Like I actually do
(38:26):
want to try that, Like I it may take three
years off my life, but it'll be worth it. It
seems like it'll be worth That sounds delishus.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
My hot take with mac and cheese is if it's
just mac and cheese, it's a side like there's like
chicken in it or something.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's a bra mac and cheese.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
And cheese.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Is pretty good. There's bro, he's understand if I'm putting
my fork in that mac and cheese and anything else
come up, I am leaving.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Next time you're in the I am leaving. Bro.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You ain't got to do too much with the mac
and cheese like something.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Sometimes you can add it. I mean, like maga cheese
is you can add it inhanceably the number one dish
that could be ruined that if it's not made correctly.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Next time you're in the East Coast, they put a
bunch of like you get specialty mac and cheese.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
It will blow your mobster mac and cheese. Y'all doing
chicken and cheese.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
It is amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I mean, I went to I went to ball. I
went to a Baltimore Oals game to have a crab
mac and cheese hot dog. I'm like, Baltimore, you get me,
you understand me. It's a crab mac and cheese. It
was everything. It was everything I hoped it would be.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
I'm surprised you don't have Glizzies.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Out there, Florida.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
His Glizzies.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
For sides.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
And this is not just a Thanksgiving thing like I get.
It's any restaurant I go to.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
If you could get this as a side with like
a steak or something like that, mashed potatoes every single time,
Like I look, I know it's kind of generic. I'm
an Irish guy who loves potatoes, but I love mash
potatoes and you could put stuff in it. They could
be playing.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
It doesn't matter to me. I will eat a potato
in any way you could serve.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Ittatoes are pretty great in there.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Who eats a potato that way.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
You can eat? I'm just like it's the most versatile.
It is frettch fries, mashed potatoes roasted, I.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Mean tooth you're kind of like you probably could eat
it like an apple if you want to. I don't
know how gray is kind of starchy? No, what is this? Holes? Like? Yeah,
I mean like, but you are cool like garlic mashed
potato all day? Do you so? When you make them?
(40:43):
Do you make them with the skin on?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I personally do not prefer that. If it's in there,
I will eat it. But if it's my choice, I
like skin less.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
All right, are you a potato guy or it depends.
I got like the little gravy and stuff for good,
like I ain't picky about it. Is not there, like
you're like really into potato.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
I mean, his whole plate is mac and cheese, and
you put the hot dogs in the mac and cheese.
I've known people who have done that. It seems like
it could be a thing that's done. Dog.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
No, we're eating hot dogs or fourth of your life.
That's it, bro And maybe ballpark.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Games not daily never.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
So my one is a thing that can enhance both
of the things that you guys liked.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Ham.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah, ham is great, And I know turkey is like
the centerpiece. It's like the symbol of the day. But like,
give me a honey baked ham, just or a smoked
ham or any kind of ham. Chop it up. I
can eat the ham. I can make a ham sandwich
later afterwards. I can take the ham bone and use
it to make soup afterwards, especially like a potato soup.
(41:53):
Ham is great. Ham is underrated. Ham should actually be
the official agreed entree of Thanksgiving? Right?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Really terrible?
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Why do you guys hate Turkey? Is great? Turkey this year?
Turkey is great. It's it's it's wonderful. I have no
problem with it. Ham clears it. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
That's I don't dislike turkey. I just would take every
other meat, right. I mean, you know we weren't doing
bold takes, and here we are insane.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Turkey Isa ham is jamar Chase If is it okay?
We can I can walk on there.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
No, you know what.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
The best part you kind of touched on it. The
best part about Thanksgiving, Ham is the sandwich because I
put the potato on the sandwich macket. I'll mix it
all on one big I can make.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I think Monday is the deadline for leftover Thanksgiving food, right,
like Monday is the deadline. You would sa give it
a week, bro, I would still eat it Monday, Monday
you can eat it and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, throw
it at It starts to depend on what it is.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Give it a full week? What is really you? What
do you? What are you saving a week? If I
still have food? Like, I don't want to just throw
out food.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Oh, I'm not touching it.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I'm not a food waste.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Left over.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I'm not. I'm thankful for the food that i have
and I'm going to continue being thankful for it for
a week.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Also, the most underrated thing of is like afterwards, like
that night of Thanksgiving, just taking a whole bunch of things,
like I'll take I take the stuffing, the potatoes, maybe
some yams, the cranberry, Just throw it in a bowl
and just mix it all up and just mash it
and just brush it. Greens, corn bread.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Ye, can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yes, yos are only parks and cook you.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Are you pie guys at all? Very overrated? I don't think.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
No, I'm not really into the pies. I don't apple
pie last weekend and I wasn't like I.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Don't like pie.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I'll okay, cook any dessert pretty much over pie. Marcus.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Well, that is it.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
We are done.
Speaker 1 (44:03):
We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.
You know the drill. Tell two friends to tell two
friends rate review and remember, an optimist is someone who
starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day. Be safe, take
care of yourselves, have a happy and safe Thanksgiving, and
we'll talk to you again real soon
Wow, Hey, everybody, welcome to another edition of the NFL
Fantasy Football Show. It's Me and your Man, MG Marcus
Grant joined by Michael f. Florio and the Kwan Jones,
and uh we are We are smack dab in the
(00:21):
middle of the Thanksgiving season.
Speaker 2 (00:23):
Absolutely, I'm ready to eat though, I mean, now it's coming.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
You two kind of an alternative Thanksgiving because I used to.
Speaker 3 (00:31):
Eat turkey all the time as a kid and stuff.
Now living out here, like I don't my my family
is back East and stuff. So we're doing steaks because
I'm like, hey, I don't really love turkey. I usually
go ham. But I'm like, if it's just a small group,
but let's let's do it up.
Speaker 1 (00:44):
I love that has two meetings, like I usually go Ham,
like as in like I usually eat pork products or
I just go wild on Thanksgiving, right, So there it is.
I like that too. It's also very much a like
I'm a grown up. I'm gonna do whatever I want.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
Yeah, are you guys turkey people?
Speaker 1 (01:00):
Yes's fine. I mean Ham is better, but it's fine.
Speaker 2 (01:02):
I can confirm that this man did not have turkey
at the Friends giving last I don't know it was
not there at all, So yeah, it wasn't a bit.
Speaker 3 (01:09):
By the way, Marcus makes great Brussels sprouts for everyone.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
Oh that's right.
Speaker 2 (01:13):
They were my favorite brussel sprouts I've ever had.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Oh awesome. I love hearing that. We're gonna talk about
actual football too during the show today, we're gonna take
a look at the Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday games.
Who should just start? Who should you avoid? Plus we
got some hot takes on some hot meals heading into
the holiday. But first let's get started, as it's kind
of here, what's happening here?
Speaker 2 (01:36):
Let's go, baby.
Speaker 1 (01:37):
I should have known. I should have realized something was happening,
and that's why you were wearing jackets because it's warm outside.
I never even like you got me?
Speaker 3 (01:47):
You know what it is?
Speaker 1 (01:48):
Congratulations a week bady. Okay, So, for those of you
who are listening at home, LQ and Flora Florio just
took off the sweatshirts they were wearing, which, by the way,
it is like seventy five grease here in Los Angeles today. Uh,
and they are wearing UCLA T shirts underneath. In case
you don't understand the reason why UCLA is playing USC
(02:09):
and the crosstown rivalry coming up to Saturday at the
LA Coliseum. Let's even have a rooting interest in this, Yes,
I do. This is a new team that I will
be rooting for because you look, they might be playing
in sofar stadium. Sorry yourself, still watching bad College?
Speaker 2 (02:24):
What you mean? I think they're going to take it
back to that in nineteen ninety one, nineteen ninety eight
era where they were playing DT.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
You see, you've actually done the research on this too,
know what's crazy? Tim Robbins, right, saw Shank, he will
be watching the game this weekend. I'll be watching saw Shank.
Speaker 2 (02:39):
And look he just recently had a birthday too. Guess
how old he is?
Speaker 1 (02:43):
The Tim Robbins go to UCLA. I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (02:44):
Yeah he's yes, yes he did.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
I honestly did not know that. Yeah, it's crazy. Yeah,
this has been a thing for the last month. We've
had this idea since August. Yes, exactly, it was on
the schedule and it's been playing today as you see
a USC you know what. Kudos exactly, But you never
(03:08):
taken out broke out sewks gear.
Speaker 2 (03:11):
He would have left it. Oh yeah, yeah, you guys.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Put in the work for this like I am. I'm
not even mad, I'm impressed.
Speaker 2 (03:19):
Anyway, Robbins, I'll probably never wear this shirt again.
Speaker 1 (03:25):
Jones Drew would gladly take them once you are done
with him. Anyway, let's be going with the fantasy lines
down that we've gotten past all of that. I will
start with the Buccaneers. Baker Mayfield has been diagnosed with
a low grade sprained shoulder, had an MRI I earlier
in the week. Right now, his status for this week
(03:46):
is up in the air. They got a big one
against the Buffalo Bills, so Floria. When you look at this,
I mean, this is an offense that hasn't been playing
particularly well over the last month. Anyway, now they may
or may not have Baker Mayfield. Would you start a
Bucks wide receiver or if it is Teddy Bridgewater this week?
Speaker 3 (04:02):
Only a Mecca Buka Look Godwin last week only played
fifteen routes.
Speaker 2 (04:06):
I know Abuka struggled, but he did have eight targets.
Speaker 3 (04:10):
And for me, I'm thinking about the teams that I
have at Buka on It's pretty hard for me to
get like I don't have another option. Maybe you do, though,
and if you do, I think it's okay to play
it safe because it looks kind of rough, like your defense.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Man, like Teddy.
Speaker 3 (04:24):
Fresh off of winning a doing the best thing you
could do, right, like coaching high school kids. Winning you
guys gave him no introduction or anything. He was running
for his life and stuff. But it'll be a better result,
at least a little. It's not the Rams defense again.
Speaker 1 (04:38):
I'm sure Teddy was like, man, I should go back
to coaching football. This is too much. I don't want
to be here right now. That's kind of how it
went for him.
Speaker 2 (04:45):
I remember watching. I was like, I remember Teddy being fast,
like he has none of that left.
Speaker 1 (04:50):
No, he was like, it was very much like a
oh I did he was the meme of the guy
was like, oh me, like obviously had no expectation he
was gonna have to play who knew? Over in Minnesota.
JJ McCarthy is in concussion protocol following the loss to
the Green Bay Packers this past week, and it kind
of came out of nowhere where, and we mentioned it
(05:11):
earlier in the week because the the alert popped up
just as we were recording our Monday podcast. We didn't
really get into it in a real depth. Yeah, it
looks like Max Brosmer may get the start coming up
this week against the Seattle Seahawks. It was already a
bad matchup for the Vikings offense, and now you may
have to go getr backup quarterback. I'm going to ask
you a question that might sound out of pocket, Lakwan,
(05:32):
but would you consider benching Justin Jefferson this week against
the Seahawks.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
If I have better options?
Speaker 3 (05:39):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (05:39):
I mean you know, I ain't scared to a star.
That's why I ask you why scared? It stacked them
one season. I need to do whatever is necessary to
get the W. I am not confident putting Justin Jefferson
out there, but if I have no other options, I
cannot complain. I cannot have these expectations that we're going
to get wide receiver one production because it has not
been consistent this entire season. So shout out to Max,
(06:02):
you know, getting your star. But I have no high
hopes that Justin Jefferson will return back on wide receiver one,
you know, production this week.
Speaker 1 (06:10):
He's like, you have something to add? Oh no.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
I thought about it long and hard this week, and
then I wrote up Jordan Edison as the sit, and
I was like in the Blurbom was like, I just
don't have it in me to be to tell everyone
to sit. Justin Jefferys I'm saying it, how look, this
might be a good thing for Justin Jefferson, Like I
know their backup is an undrafted rookie who was making
his first NFL start. It might be a good thing
(06:34):
for Justin Jefferson to not have to play with JJ.
Speaker 1 (06:37):
I just I credit Jefferson's restraint because you can see it.
You can see the frustration right like on his face,
in his body language when another target sails like three
yards over his head or something like that, Like you
could tell he's really frustrated. But like if he went
straight up AJ Brown, like, I don't think anybody would
(06:58):
blame him.
Speaker 2 (07:00):
I want him to do right, please crash out.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
Yeah, it just it hasn't happened. And so I do
I respect his restraints.
Speaker 3 (07:08):
I think he knows though, Like with AJ, it's like, dude,
give me the ball, give me a chance.
Speaker 2 (07:12):
They're trying to get it. He just can't do it.
Speaker 1 (07:16):
That's that's very true. So you guys have if you've
been watching the show, you've been following along. You know,
there's been a little saga brewing about Lakwan Jones and
his ability to run the forty. He had suggested to
us so that he could run the forty in about
four to six four six seven something like that. So
we finally put it to the test. We went out
(07:36):
to the field, the practice field right behind the network
studios here, and we set it up with some cameras
for Lakwan to run the forty. And here it is,
this was I believe. Is this the second Is this
the second run? Yeah?
Speaker 3 (07:49):
It is it is.
Speaker 1 (07:50):
I think that's the second run. I love the head
duck that you had there.
Speaker 2 (07:54):
Well, I had to keep my head up so I
don't run into the fence, so I think that kind
of slowed me down a little bit. But that five
five eight, I think I was sabotage, guys, sabotage because.
Speaker 1 (08:03):
Marcus I think when he said go, he started the
clock already before I jumped off the line where we
need to shave some off or do it again, I
was ready to run it back. You can run it back.
So here's the thing, and I will, I will, I
will give you my process here right because the first
time you ran it was like a five eight six,
and I think I did actually that time hit it
as soon as I said go, And I was like,
you know what, that doesn't seem fair. You ran a
(08:24):
five eight six. So the next time when I said go,
I actually waited for you to start and then I
hit it. So the five five eight is a little
closer to legit than the five eight six.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
No, I'm not buying it.
Speaker 1 (08:36):
What I'm here.
Speaker 3 (08:36):
Marcus saying is it should have been.
Speaker 2 (08:38):
A five to six.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
I mean, they're mitigating circumstances. One, we think the field
was forty yards, like we think it's forty yards. But
also you had no you had no runway to stop
like you guys had to pull up before the time. Yeah,
that is true. I did pull up. You could see
the video. We have the second worth of difference. Though.
I wanted to set the.
Speaker 2 (09:01):
Bar for six, but being one second off well past
my prime and when I've done.
Speaker 3 (09:05):
That, Yes, I'm not mad at it. I'm not mad
at it.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
I'm glad you've come to that, because that's what we
all said to you last week, and you were like.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
The hardest critic to myself. But I was because I
should be running the hardest critic.
Speaker 3 (09:16):
You're the hardest person that sits on like your expectations
are just wild.
Speaker 2 (09:23):
Like if you were like I could run a five
one or so we've been like right now four six, Like,
that's that's prob Give me, give me, give me march
and the combine is up. I'm going to be doing sometimes.
Speaker 1 (09:34):
I will run in March with you next to the
combine it next up, we're gonna rent to Kangaroo and
see if Laqua can fight that too.
Speaker 2 (09:40):
All right, that's a that's a deep cut, dem summer.
Speaker 3 (09:44):
We got a kangaroo. Would you step in the ring?
Speaker 2 (09:47):
No, I got kids.
Speaker 1 (09:48):
Man, is the wisest thing.
Speaker 2 (09:52):
This something I've done my research since we've been talking
about it.
Speaker 1 (09:55):
Now there's the thing that you started an epidemic. There
have been a couple other fantasy analysts who have recorded
themsel running the forty. So maybe we can make this
a thing.
Speaker 3 (10:03):
Any fantasy analysts out there, if you want to run
the forty, record it and send it to us, to us.
Speaker 2 (10:07):
Because right now, fast as fantasy analyst out there in
the fantasy streets of the.
Speaker 1 (10:11):
Two who have recorded that is I mean, you're not wrong,
It's just a small sample side. That's all I'm saying.
All right, back to the actual football on the field
as we dive into the Thanksgiving slate of games. We'll
start with the first game of the day, the Packers
at the Lions and the first to score touchdown odds
no surprise and Manu or Jamiir Gibbs is ahead of
(10:32):
Emmanuel Wilson. Gibbs, who scored three touchdowns and put up
a nuclear fifty five fantasy points last week's I'm no surprise.
He's at the top of the is, followed by Emmanuel Wilson,
and then Josh Jacobs there even is I guess. We
wait to see if Jacobs is going to be available
for Thursday morning early afternoon. I guess, depending on where
you live. Then a couple of Lions i'mn Ross, Saint
(10:53):
Brown and David Montgomery rounding out the top five. As
we look a little bit further. They're into this game, though, Floria,
I'm gonna ask you about the Packers passing game and
do you trust any part of it? I mean, quarterback receivers,
tight ends, any part of this Packers passing game that
inspires confidence in you.
Speaker 3 (11:12):
I actually have two Packers as starts this week, I
have Jordan Love as a start because and I've had
Jordan Love as a sit for like six weeks.
Speaker 2 (11:20):
In a row.
Speaker 3 (11:21):
The thing is, they blitz at a high rate, and
Jordan Love has excelled against the blitz. And I know
that didn't translate to success last year a week against
the Vikings, but the Lions have also. Jordan Love has
a thirteen to two touchdown interception ratio against man coverage,
and the Lions play man at the highest rate in
the NFL.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
And then I like Christian Watson.
Speaker 3 (11:42):
Who has taken over as their wide receiver one three
straight weeks, leading them in snaps and routes. But he
averages thirty more yards per game in his career indoors
than outdoors. So with this being an indoor game against
a the legion of whom which is the best in
the football right now, I do think the Packers passing
attack can come through.
Speaker 1 (12:01):
Yeah, you know, I like Christian Watson because he seems
to be the only consistent wide receiver there. I just
I look at Jordan Love, at least from a fantasy standpoint,
and he's kind of the Mendoza line right for you
baseball nerds out there, it's like if you're if he's
above Jordan Love, then you feel like you got a
good starting fantasy quarterback. If it's below Jordan Love, yeah,
it's like Jordan Love is just he's oatmeal in fantasy.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
Yeah, yeah, I I never want like I I feel bad.
Speaker 3 (12:28):
I was like, am I ignoring him? Like he's a
good player? I have no interest drafting him? And now
I'm like, yeah, I'm so happy. I look at I
hear a producer quapsy, and I like, opal.
Speaker 1 (12:35):
Yeah, O'tmeal's fine. Here's oatmeal is filling. It's healthy when
you dress it up right, it can be delicious. When
you go out to breakfast with your friends and family,
nobody sits at the restaurant goes like, let me get
some of that oatmeal, Like.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
You just don't do that. He can't do that.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
It's just fine, is what it is. As we sort
of cross between the two sides here, I'm gonna ask you, Lakwan,
to choose your fighter. If you're picking a quarterback for
this game and fantasy is Jordan Love is it? Jared Golf.
Jared Golf, I think.
Speaker 2 (13:05):
We've seen him play enough in you know, in the
Thanksgiving game where there isn't much turnovers any he has
eight touchdowns. I think when you look at Jordan Love,
it's kind of scary that he can go out there
last week and still win the game with zero touchdowns.
And for fantasy that is a scary floor. I think
Jared Golf, at least for the last couple of weeks,
eight touchdowns in his last four games, eighteen Fantasy points
(13:25):
per game versus Jordan Love, that's been ten Fantasy points
per game. So I think this one, I'm going for stability.
I don't want to be crashing out and the Thanksgiving,
you know, holiday season with the family and stuff, watching
Jordan Love go out there and stink it up. So
I'm not going to even try to open that door
for myself to ruin Thanksgiving.
Speaker 1 (13:43):
I'm proud of you. You got through that without saying Jared Goof.
Speaker 2 (13:46):
Jared Goof is going to show up. He's been pretty
good on Thanksgiving. I ain't gonna kick us back in
it's holiday season.
Speaker 3 (13:51):
I feel a little good.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
The Packers did slap him up in Week one.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
They did, they absolutely did.
Speaker 2 (13:57):
But I do think the Lions look more like the Lions,
Dan Campbell on the sticks man, keep him on there.
Speaker 1 (14:02):
I will still think I would rather have Golf I
get Yeah, when you look at the Lions. Obviously we
talked about Jamiir Gibb and having the huge game Florida.
What is your concern level with David Montgomery?
Speaker 3 (14:14):
Extremely high. I have him in a couple of teams
and I'm like, I don't really want to start him.
And but the thing is, he's an anchor player, right
because you're never going to drop him.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
His name is value.
Speaker 3 (14:26):
He like, the potential that he could be if something
happens to Gibbs is far too high where you don't
want to drop him, but you don't want to start him.
In three of his last four games, he's played less
than forty percent of the snaps. And even with Dan
Campbell coming out and being like I want to get
him more work, he's eleven carries in their last two
games combined.
Speaker 2 (14:45):
The Packers are a really tough run defense.
Speaker 3 (14:47):
So yeah, and this isn't just a one week thing, Like,
I'm very concerned with Monty moving forward the rest of
the year.
Speaker 1 (14:53):
Well, it's played out kind of the way I feared
it would, I said, coming in the season. This was
the first year in a while that I was off
of David Montgomery because it fell like they were going
all in on Jamior Gibbs and it's sort of worked
out that way.
Speaker 3 (15:03):
You can't blame him, no, like it's working.
Speaker 2 (15:05):
No, absolutely no.
Speaker 1 (15:06):
I mean it's a smart move. Bro can handle it.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
Though. He had like three hundred touches last year, so
it's like, why not push more on his play if
he had handled.
Speaker 1 (15:12):
I don't know, but seven games this year with forty
or fewer rushing yards and not really giving you enough
in the passing game to make up for what's missing
on the rush.
Speaker 2 (15:21):
Eventually this was going to happen, right, like eventually the
change of the guard, and like we're kind of seeing
it now, Like.
Speaker 3 (15:27):
I still think, like if you put Moncy on any
other team, I think he could be good.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I just think Jamier Gibbs might be the best runner.
He just have a really premier running Yeah, it's ahead
of him right now. Even the scene goes down, Heroes
eventually die.
Speaker 2 (15:38):
Is he the best running back alive?
Speaker 1 (15:40):
Or it's like hammer Bijon, I feel like, yeah, I mean,
if we're going to pound for pound and like age.
I mean think Christian McCaffrey is still in that mix.
Speaker 3 (15:49):
I have thoughts, but like next year, one oh one
very well might be Gibbs.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
Yeah, it's also very wild that here we are, starting
week thirteen, the top three scores in all of fantasy
football are running awesome wild. We will keep going at
our look on the Thanksgiving Day games and Black Friday
as well. Stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy
Football Show, continuing on with the Thanksgiving Day slate. It's
(16:17):
the game that's probably going to draw a ton of
hate watchers across the country. It's the Chiefs at the Cowboys.
The four thirty Eastern time slot. You can see that
game on CBS. So here's the thing. Most people outside
of Dallas hate the Dallas Cowboys. Most people around the
country outside of Kansas City are sick of the Chiefs.
So basically, whoever wins, you know, we lose, or whoever
(16:40):
loses we win. Either way. No, there's a clear team
that I'm rooting for in this one, the Cowboys. Oh yeah,
La Coule, would you start Kareem Hunt in this one?
Speaker 2 (16:50):
My expectations are a little bit different now with Pacheco
back like with him playing this week, it does have
me kind of pull back as him as a flex
this week. But hey, the dude's been balling these last
four weeks. I know that last week he had a
career high at thirty rushing attempts. I'm pretty sure he's
looking at Pacheco like, thank you that you're back, because
I hope I never have to do that again. But
I do think, you know, he still remains a guy
(17:10):
that you can have expectations when they get in striking distance,
and I know Mahomes is going to keep them in
striking distance because even with Pacheco healthy cream, Hunt was
the red zone guy. So those valuable touches where he
can sneak in six points, I guess I can have
that on the table for that picture ick and Paint
to have him as a starter. But my expectations are
nothing like what it was last week. I mean he
(17:31):
had the one hundred and four rushing yards I think
it was last week.
Speaker 1 (17:34):
I'm thirty carries.
Speaker 2 (17:35):
Oh, that's insane that you.
Speaker 1 (17:36):
Put him to do that. It's kind of like, what
it's crazy that he got thirty carries? Yo?
Speaker 2 (17:40):
What's good with Brashaw Smith?
Speaker 3 (17:42):
They're like, Yo, we know this is it, Please give us.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
I mean, we're just gonna We're gonna run this car
till it's out of gas and the wheels are falling off.
Speaker 3 (17:51):
At this point, just like a Seinfeld where the thing
is below eating Creamer's Like, let's see how exactly so?
Speaker 1 (17:59):
I mean, but so to that point then mentioned Isaiah
Pacheco looks like he's gonna come back this week. Would
you would you throw him in a lineup?
Speaker 2 (18:07):
It depends.
Speaker 3 (18:07):
Like I have a fourteen team league where I have Pacheco, Like, sure,
I'll throw him out in that, But in like most
of my twelve team leagues with no teams on buy,
I think I would take a wait and see approach
with him.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
The Cowboys run defense has been better the last couple
of weeks. Williams, they got Quentin Williams, and it really
has changed things. I mean, I know that they said
they wanted some guys up front to help stop the run.
Jory Jones. Why would you need to add somebody up
front to help stop the run? Why would you need
to add another player to help with that? I'm just
I'm just asking questions, that's all. But they have been
(18:39):
better I mean I think I think I added up
like last two games ninety combined rushing yards that they've allowed.
They shut down the Eagles last week running the ball
as well, so.
Speaker 2 (18:47):
Which is not easy to do.
Speaker 1 (18:48):
Not easy to do, not at all. All Right, a
little bit of choose your fighter here for you, Florio
tight end edition, Travis Kelcey or Jake Ferguson. This one
seems fairly easy to me, is it?
Speaker 2 (18:58):
Kelsey?
Speaker 3 (18:58):
It is Key, That's what I was saying. So, yeah,
they're the better matchup. He gets the better matchup of
the two, and then Ferguson. It makes total sense. But
since they've gotten Lamb and Pickens both back out there,
like he is the clear cut number three target, and
if he doesn't get a touchdown, he's kind of like
Dallas Goddard to me now, Like if he doesn't get
a touchdown, you're looking at single digit days and maybe
(19:19):
less than five.
Speaker 1 (19:20):
Yeah, I mean he was hot early in the season
because he was scoring a lot of touchdowns. Yeah, when
you look at his game logs, like the yardage numbers
have never been great. You know, it's on fifty maybe
he tops out of like sixty sixty five that's kind
of been it, but it's been not so great with
you know, with Jake Ferguson lately. George Pickens. Yeah, before
(19:42):
the season started, Lakwan, he said that him and Cedee
Lamb were like Mario and Luigi.
Speaker 3 (19:46):
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:47):
Now, I'm like, is it just like Mario and Mario?
I mean, like, is is George Pickens the wide receiver
one now in Dallas? No?
Speaker 2 (19:57):
I think he's the more reliable wide receiver because you
still looking at CD Lamb taking all the red zone targets,
all the targets period, Like in the last four games.
You know, we're looking at CD Lamb out targeting George Pickens.
But George Pickens has made more of the impact in
the last four games one hundred and eleven receiving yards
per game, eighty one percent catchery. The reliable hands that
he has is what's keeping this Cowboys offense as a
(20:18):
top five scoring offense. So I think once we see
the dynamic between the two kind of stabilized, which there's
still time for them to stabilize. With this new dynamic,
that Dak has another wide receiver he can throw to
and rely on. So I think Cede Lamb with these
big drops in recent weeks. That's what's been killing his
fantasy production. Because two weeks ago your boy lost by
point four because he dropped that walk in touchdown. Why
(20:41):
did we do that? But you know, it's okay. I'm
just gonna let that go and hope that he can
get it together when the fantasy playoffs comes around.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
You know who could use a wide receiver like George
Pickens the Steelers.
Speaker 2 (20:52):
Wow, it's amazing to see.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
Yeah, you know, just on the drops thick like Cede
Lamb has dropped more production than anyone this year. And
like when it's Quinn Johnson, everyone's like he's the worst water.
Everyone's like, oh, you'll be okay. His resume is a
little bit heavier.
Speaker 1 (21:10):
It is.
Speaker 3 (21:11):
It's just it has been insane to see how much
production he is just dropped right on the fields.
Speaker 1 (21:16):
I have been told multiple times by my good friend
and wide receiver whisper Matt Harmon, that drops do not matter,
that drops drops only matter when they stop throwing you
the ball.
Speaker 3 (21:26):
I agree, except for when you're fantasy point six. Drops
matter then they always matter, but it don't matter forecasting,
but they matter when you're in a fantasy game.
Speaker 1 (21:37):
You know, yeah, you know, as long they keep going
back to it's fine. It's like when the coach is
yelling at you, that's not the problem. It's when the
coach gives up and stops yelling at you at all,
that's when you should be worried.
Speaker 3 (21:46):
Kind of in the world of wrestling, right you want
to be booed or cheered. If they don't make any noise,
you're doing something you're doing, yeah, exactly, So anyway should
be a fun one.
Speaker 1 (21:56):
I will see how things go out between the Chiefs
and the Cowboys travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens
on Thursday night, Florio. Then you start Joe Burrow in
his first game back from injury.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
I think so, Like you've waited this long and it's
not like quarterback is the best right now. And the
other thing too with the Ravens is like they've been
tougher as of late, but they're still giving up a
lot of yardage. They've just limited the touchdowns as of late. Also,
in two games against them last year, you guys could
tell me if this is good or not. Burrow threw
(22:27):
for eight hundred and twenty yards and nine touchdowns in
two games.
Speaker 1 (22:31):
That seems good.
Speaker 2 (22:32):
Yeah, yeah, I'm playing them the lock.
Speaker 1 (22:35):
I'm probably playing him. I have him on a roster.
I have to go look and just see what the
other matchups are. Part of me is like, oh I
lasted this long without him, Like, yeah, maybe one more
week because he's got the mini buy too. True.
Speaker 2 (22:46):
It depends on.
Speaker 3 (22:47):
I guess what your other options are.
Speaker 2 (22:49):
Yes, if you like Jacoby.
Speaker 3 (22:51):
Brissett or him, that might be a conversation. But like
going a little bit like I would play him over
golf or love I think.
Speaker 1 (22:58):
Personally that's right. If even joke weset it and forget it,
might might be on the chopping block. I do love me.
I never set this week too against Tampa. I think
I like it or not that against Tampa. No Tampa,
this is Tampa. Yeah, I like him this week. All right,
we've been doing Hu's your Fighters all throughout the show.
We'll do another one here for you, running back edition
(23:18):
on Chase Brown or Derrick Henry. Hey Meadow, What is
the weather on the East Coast right now? Got folks
making a business decision tackling Derrick Henry. He is putting
up twenty Fantasy points in back to back games. We
are all going King Henry this week. Chase Brown had
an impressive outing last week against the Patriots fifteen Fantasy
points over one hundred yards. We know how stout that
(23:40):
Patriots defense is. I think he could still have a
decent game. But I think King Henry has a thirty
burger in the future this week.
Speaker 2 (23:47):
What thirty burger?
Speaker 1 (23:49):
That's nice. I mean, this is that time of year, right,
it's always November December, the weather starts getting bad. I mean,
I don't think people really want to tackle Derrick Henry. No,
even when the weather's good, but especially not what it's bad.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
I think he just surpassed his high school yardage too.
Speaker 1 (24:05):
It's about that's wild that it's taken him.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
Here's a key. I don't know if he saw it.
Speaker 1 (24:10):
He on pace to break his high school records.
Speaker 2 (24:12):
I hope he doesn't.
Speaker 1 (24:13):
No what I've seen this because Derek Henry was like,
go get it, man. I was very encouraging, like go
get it. It's it'll be cool. Hopefully that guy becomes.
Speaker 3 (24:21):
The next Derek Henry. But like Derek Henry's video game
stats are st fun to point that.
Speaker 1 (24:25):
I mean, there's still like there's you always see that
list of his like senior year totals and there's like
the one team that like held him to like five
or something like that. In the game, they went home happy,
right for two hundred yards on us, man, we did something.
Speaker 2 (24:38):
We're the best.
Speaker 1 (24:39):
Who knows, uh. Lamar Jackson has kind of been on
the struggle bus the last few weeks and he was
great at the start of the year. He got hurt
and hasn't really gotten back to that. But he gets
the Bengals Florida was just a get right game for Lamar.
Speaker 2 (24:54):
It has the potential to be like this is how
bad though it has been for Lamar. Tyrod Taylor Week
scored more points than Lamar has in the last two combined.
It is his worst two game stretch as a pro.
Zero touchdowns in that stretch.
Speaker 3 (25:08):
The thing is like, yes, I don't have it in
me to sit Lamar where I have him, and on
paper he should thrive in this. It is the best matchup.
He has a history of success all of that. I
am not sold that he is healthy though.
Speaker 2 (25:22):
Because he is not looking one.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
He's not running in general like I think it's He's
averaging twenty rushing yards per game since returning. But even
more than that, he had a number of runs the
last couple of weeks where I'm like, a healthy Lamar
probably houses that or at the very least turns it
into a big play and it's like a three yard game.
So the upside is very high. We all know what
he can be. I just don't know how healthy he
(25:47):
is right now.
Speaker 1 (25:48):
Yeah, it's interesting to say that too, because you're right, like,
I sort of see it in the rushing numbers, right,
It's less than the passing numbers. It's more of the
rushing numbers. I think the last couple of weeks, it's
been in like the thirties thirties something year cards per game.
That's not Lamar Jackson. You want that number to be up,
you know, fifty sixty, seventy and above for the Jackson.
Speaker 2 (26:08):
If he struggles this week, he will be entering the
middle meter. We're gonna have to try.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
We're not. No, we're not. I can't allow. I have
to put my foot down. We cannot middle meter. Lamar
Rais Jackson. It's him saying, not me. It's me.
Speaker 3 (26:23):
They like me in.
Speaker 1 (26:24):
Baltimore, like Lamar Demetris Jackson will not go in the
middle meet. I just will not allow that.
Speaker 3 (26:28):
I will.
Speaker 2 (26:29):
I will because then Ravens will put the target. Yes,
bring the smoke, he will if he disappoints a big fan.
Look over there.
Speaker 1 (26:37):
Yeah, they do not like me.
Speaker 2 (26:38):
In Baltimore, we.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Are hoping that Lamar Jackson is not a turkey on Thanksgiving.
We want those guys to go out and produce. But
some guys to avoid some Thanksgiving they turkeys in fantasy.
Some guys to avoid Lakwan. Who is somebody you are
not going to put in a lineup for.
Speaker 2 (26:55):
Thir I'm not putting Romeo Dobbs. I told you, I'm
trying to have a peaceful Thanksgiving, no crashouts, no stress,
trying to cool, calm and collected. Romeo Dobbs, since Watson
has came back, has kind of lost his identity and
roll being there. In the last three games, he has
not had a single target over the twenty plus are
ars that he was getting before Watson. And when you
look at what Watson's doing, man, he is taking over
(27:16):
as the wide receiver one and honestly, you're looking at
Romeo Dodds being capped with his ceiling, not getting those
deep targets. Now we're seeing a few weeks that he's
had these drops as well. So I cannot bank on
Romeo Dodds with no buys this week, or I can
have different options and be kind of flexible in that
area this week more.
Speaker 1 (27:34):
Like Romeo drops An't it right? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (27:36):
That johns n is brutal.
Speaker 1 (27:38):
Brutal you sort of hinted at your guy to avoid
on Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2 (27:42):
Yeah, it's David Montgomery.
Speaker 1 (27:44):
Look.
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Week six is literally half the season ago. Since then,
he is averaging less than eight Fantasy points per game.
His high mark since week six is eleven Fantasy points.
That's no floor, no ceiling. And on top of it,
in week one, the Packers held him to eight Fantasy points.
They don't allow a lot of touchdowns, they don't allow
a lot of long runs, and if anyone gets that production,
(28:07):
it's gonna be Jamior Gibbs. So I texted I have
a team where I co managed with a couple of people,
and I was like, we need to sit find a
way to get David Montgomery on our bench this week.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (28:15):
It just has to be.
Speaker 1 (28:16):
I mean, like the matchup, Like I'm at the point
where I'm playing Jamior Gibbs regardless of the matchup. Is
I am very much you know, picking and choosing where
I'm playing David Montgomery at this point.
Speaker 3 (28:25):
Here is this spicy here.
Speaker 2 (28:27):
It was Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1 (28:27):
And it's not like necessarily that he's going to be bad,
just I like one, I'm always like, I don't necessarily
want to play a guy on a Thursday if I'm
not confident in them. But having him miss this much time, oh,
this is this.
Speaker 2 (28:38):
Is scars from the from two.
Speaker 1 (28:40):
Uh, I've been hurt like this. You know, we haven't
seen him in a while. He's been dealing with the
turf toe issue and I don't know in lakwan plug
years on this one, like watching Rock Purty on Monday
night coming back off turf toe and just looking like
he could not drive the football a little bit. That
(29:01):
makes me hesitant, right, I get that, And so like
it's more about like, look here, I could send Joe
Burrow and he could go off and have a Joe
Burrow game right here, come out and throw four touchdown
passes and put up thirty points.
Speaker 2 (29:12):
I'll live with that, at least for this week. He
is rocked thirty. I mean Rock Purdy as the example
for Joe Burrow, though.
Speaker 1 (29:19):
Had a similar injury we saw, Remember we saw mirror
excused Ago and John when Joe Burrow had the bad
calf and he couldn't like push off and throw the football.
He was bad. And then the calf got right and
then he look like Joe Burrow again, Like I don't know,
I just want to make sure he had a long
list of injuries.
Speaker 3 (29:33):
These guys need to go in whatever that crypto tank thing,
that Matthew Stafford, yourself.
Speaker 1 (29:40):
His career, that a mortal, that immortal, the you know
what immortal. Maybe he's undead. Maybe that's what it is.
And here's experience not human. What are you talking, Roger.
We need to we need to launch an investigation into
Matthew Stafford.
Speaker 2 (29:56):
We need to be looking in to see him. See
that's all I'm gonna say.
Speaker 1 (29:59):
I'm just saying that your quarterback needed a back of
the out of me before the season started. Now all
of a sudden, you're falling apart, but the guy with
the highest risk.
Speaker 2 (30:07):
Is still good.
Speaker 1 (30:08):
Well that's because that's because Kyle Shanahan made a deal
with the devil. Like, please let us chief see him
see healthy and like the Monkeys, Paul curled and everybody
else went to dust. That's insane. That's exactly what happened.
So there you go, Dan for a quick break. We'll
be back with our players to avoid and the Black
Friday Game preview after this done. Now for the Black
(30:32):
Friday Game, it's the Bears and the Eagles. You can
see that one Friday at three pm Eastern on Prime Video. Florida.
Saw DJ Moore have a couple of touchdown catches last week.
Does this mean he is officially back? No.
Speaker 3 (30:46):
I think it means he's trending in the right direction.
But I still have him as a sit this week,
more so for the matchup. But I do think it's
worth pointing out, like he gets seven targets last week,
that ties his season, like they're just not featuring him
as much as we would like. But even more than that,
he gets the Eagles this week. They've allowed just six
(31:08):
touchdowns to receivers all year, just two since Week eight,
fewest fantasy points per game into the month before they
played the Cowboys. The Cowboys are gonna cook most secondaries
because of the talent they have, but the Eagles are
looking like one of the better ones in football. Plus
they get after the quarterback at a high rate, and
we've seen that. You could still rattle Caleb, like, look
(31:28):
shout out to the Bears. They're ain't three, They're in
first place. I think it's been a lot of luck
on their side. Well, like, Caleb still has a lot
of growth to do, which if you're a Bears fan,
I mean this as a compliment, like, you guys are
winning with Caleb like he is. Now, get him a
little bit more time in the system, and you guys
conna be cooking with fire. I mean, like, I.
Speaker 1 (31:46):
Think he's playing well. I think to your point, though,
the reason part of the reason they're in first place
is because it's a division full of question marks. Yeah right.
I mean the Lions haven't looked great consistently, and they're inconsistent.
The Packers are kind of up and down?
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Are they the.
Speaker 1 (32:01):
Right? I mean, the Vikings don't have a quarterback.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
I still think the Packers and lines are better than
the Bears, but the Bears are running hot right now.
Speaker 1 (32:09):
Maybe. I mean it's funny that the Vikings had two
shots at a quarterback and they let them both go,
and both those guys are having good years at other
places right now, right like could have had Sam Donald,
They could have had Daniel.
Speaker 3 (32:23):
Jones wear Sam Donald's revenge game this week. That one
feels like an actual revenge.
Speaker 1 (32:29):
Game to me, you know what, you know what that
actually now now I'm sort of sad that I don't
think we're gonna see JJ McCarthy in that game, yeah,
because that would have been like, you know, like Sam,
this over me, touchdown, like points up to the owner's
booth and looks at J. J. McCarty Like that would
have been amazing. Something like that happened, all right, next
(32:51):
edition of Use Your Fighter Kwan back to the tight
ends Bolston Loveland or Dallas Goddard.
Speaker 2 (32:57):
Oh, I honestly on Loveland because obviously I'm loving everything
I'm seeing these last couple of weeks. And he's been
Kalo's most reliable target, honestly, because when you look at
the last four games, sixty five receiving yards per game,
and then you look at the eighty five percent catch
rate reliable hands versus DJ Moore with fifty percent in
the cat tray and Roma Dunes. They had some nasty
(33:19):
drops these last couple of weeks with a thirty nine
percent catch trate. This is not good. I'm looking at
the results of where this guy this last month of
football has given us fifteen fantasy points per game in
three touchdowns. He's getting after it as a vertical threat,
and he's getting after ety yards after to catch. So
what can you not love about Colston Loveland? Yeah, no,
I'm down with it, you know, and I know for
(33:41):
a lot of us, and I'm looking at myself. I mean,
we drafted him with the whole premise of and Johnson
took him first. Yeah, there's got to be something there,
and obviously it didn't happen early. I am sort of
laughing at the people who, after like a month were
just like Colston Loveland's a bust. Like I mean, Cago,
there's a lot of negativity when we look at the
(34:02):
tight end position. It's been Cole Commits season.
Speaker 1 (34:05):
You gotta be patient with a rookie tight end. But
just you know, four games, it wasn't like he was bad.
He was kind of hurt and he was like learning
the offense.
Speaker 2 (34:13):
Yeah, he wasn't playing like it wasn't on the field.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
You know, we might have to have a conversation about
Roman duneesay.
Speaker 1 (34:19):
Bro, it's it's gone south. Yeah, it's big way. Ain't
nobody talking about it. Everybody's kind of just like, well,
his dad is.
Speaker 3 (34:27):
Well, there's always that.
Speaker 1 (34:30):
His dad's talking about it a lot.
Speaker 3 (34:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 2 (34:33):
Maybe he got with uh he has to catch the ball, dad,
and I'm sorry, maybe stop dropping it.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
He should connect with Odell Beckham Senior because remember when
Odell's dad was I'm pretty sure they're in the group
checks on Twitter like XO videos on Twitter.
Speaker 3 (34:47):
What's funny though, is like Baker's probably turned out to
be the winner in that situation, Like he's great.
Speaker 1 (34:54):
Yeah, I mean back then, maybe not. Father time came
for Odell. I mean, he was probably gonna be a
Super Bowl MVP had he not gotten hurt when team
was it. I can compliment your team, like it's possible
for me. They could say you knew and recognized game.
What's all? What what other team would he have? Because
the Giants were bad, the Browns were bad. I'm just
saying margins, but they never sniffed the Super Bowl. Yeah,
(35:17):
I just I can. I can compliment your team. It
doesn't give me indigestion to say nice things about the Rams.
That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 3 (35:27):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (35:27):
Anyway, back back to Bears and Eagles, as we got
way off track here. As usual A J. Brown den
to Smith had nice weeks last week, we get back
to back smash games for them.
Speaker 3 (35:37):
Yes, So the thing I I wrote about them on
start sit this week, And I know a lot of
people are angry with the Eagles passing attack, but I
like that it is one funnel through their top two stars.
Both have over a twenty five percent target share, over
a thirty three percent air yard share, and thirty one
(35:58):
plus percent first ree rate. Like every single passing play
is operating through these two.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
And then the Bears.
Speaker 3 (36:05):
They have a lot of the fourth most touchdowns on
the year, the fourth most yard since Week eight, and
they are really struggling against the deep ball, which is
Philly's best strength through the airs.
Speaker 2 (36:16):
So I think we saw last.
Speaker 3 (36:18):
Week right, Like the upside is just simply too high
for both of these guys that you live with the
down weeks and you start them weekly.
Speaker 1 (36:25):
I think it's going to be a real interesting conversation
next year about where we're drafting. I guess the question
is one, is AJ Brown gonna still.
Speaker 3 (36:33):
Be he's a first round pick when he's catching passes, Josh, you.
Speaker 1 (36:37):
Know what, that's probably fair. That is probably fair at
this point because it's it's been frustrating and you know, Lolreno,
you and I went in on you know a j.
Brown is a first round pick this year, all three
of us three, let's say, I bought in.
Speaker 3 (36:50):
Yeah, I mean it is what it is.
Speaker 2 (36:53):
We couldn't predict the crack. Now we thought they were
learning their lesson. The good thing that is you were
able to get them in the second round.
Speaker 3 (36:58):
Sometimes it doesn't hurt any less, but it does hurt
a little.
Speaker 1 (37:02):
It hurts a little bit. Here's a little less at
this point for sure. So Bear's eagle should be a
good one. Black Friday Football, I guess this is just
gonna be part of our lives from now until the
heat death of the earth, dying for our spicy takes
of the week, but doing something a little bit different
with our hot takes, which dish is the one of
Thanksgiving dinner.
Speaker 2 (37:22):
This could be controversial based on the households, but macaroni
cheese is nice side man, How it's delivered, how it's
brought to the house in the full tray, especially with
Grandma with the crispy top on the macaroni and cheese.
Speaker 3 (37:32):
That is a main event.
Speaker 2 (37:34):
Okay, I've seen plates covered in macaroni cheese and then
there's everything else, you know, so like if it's good
and it's smacking and Grandma got her hands in it, yeah,
that's one.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
On one all right. I'm down with mac and cheese
one day. I do want to try the Andy Reid.
Have you seen the Andy Reid like six cheese, mac
and cheese whatever? It is. The very excellent Charles McDonald,
who does a lot of great stuff over at Yahoo
years ago somehow ended up talking to Andy Reid at
an airport and they ended up talking about mac and
(38:05):
cheese and gave him his recipe. And it's like a
you can go find I think you can just google
like Andy Reid macaroni. It is like have you seen
red like he meatballs? I don't think you are built
the way Andy Reid is and not love food right
and like no shade, it's just what it is. But yeah,
you can go and google it. Like I actually do
(38:26):
want to try that, Like I it may take three
years off my life, but it'll be worth it. It
seems like it'll be worth That sounds delishus.
Speaker 3 (38:34):
My hot take with mac and cheese is if it's
just mac and cheese, it's a side like there's like
chicken in it or something.
Speaker 2 (38:40):
It's a bra mac and cheese.
Speaker 3 (38:44):
And cheese.
Speaker 1 (38:46):
Is pretty good. There's bro, he's understand if I'm putting
my fork in that mac and cheese and anything else
come up, I am leaving.
Speaker 3 (38:52):
Next time you're in the I am leaving. Bro.
Speaker 2 (38:55):
You ain't got to do too much with the mac
and cheese like something.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
Sometimes you can add it. I mean, like maga cheese
is you can add it inhanceably the number one dish
that could be ruined that if it's not made correctly.
Speaker 3 (39:06):
Next time you're in the East Coast, they put a
bunch of like you get specialty mac and cheese.
Speaker 1 (39:11):
It will blow your mobster mac and cheese. Y'all doing
chicken and cheese.
Speaker 2 (39:17):
It is amazing.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
I mean, I went to I went to ball. I
went to a Baltimore Oals game to have a crab
mac and cheese hot dog. I'm like, Baltimore, you get me,
you understand me. It's a crab mac and cheese. It
was everything. It was everything I hoped it would be.
Speaker 3 (39:30):
I'm surprised you don't have Glizzies.
Speaker 1 (39:37):
Out there, Florida.
Speaker 2 (39:41):
His Glizzies.
Speaker 1 (39:44):
For sides.
Speaker 2 (39:45):
And this is not just a Thanksgiving thing like I get.
It's any restaurant I go to.
Speaker 3 (39:49):
If you could get this as a side with like
a steak or something like that, mashed potatoes every single time,
Like I look, I know it's kind of generic. I'm
an Irish guy who loves potatoes, but I love mash
potatoes and you could put stuff in it. They could
be playing.
Speaker 2 (40:03):
It doesn't matter to me. I will eat a potato
in any way you could serve.
Speaker 1 (40:07):
Ittatoes are pretty great in there.
Speaker 2 (40:11):
Who eats a potato that way.
Speaker 3 (40:16):
You can eat? I'm just like it's the most versatile.
It is frettch fries, mashed potatoes roasted, I.
Speaker 1 (40:23):
Mean tooth you're kind of like you probably could eat
it like an apple if you want to. I don't
know how gray is kind of starchy? No, what is this? Holes? Like? Yeah,
I mean like, but you are cool like garlic mashed
potato all day? Do you so? When you make them?
(40:43):
Do you make them with the skin on?
Speaker 3 (40:45):
I personally do not prefer that. If it's in there,
I will eat it. But if it's my choice, I
like skin less.
Speaker 2 (40:52):
All right, are you a potato guy or it depends.
I got like the little gravy and stuff for good,
like I ain't picky about it. Is not there, like
you're like really into potato.
Speaker 1 (41:02):
I mean, his whole plate is mac and cheese, and
you put the hot dogs in the mac and cheese.
I've known people who have done that. It seems like
it could be a thing that's done. Dog.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
No, we're eating hot dogs or fourth of your life.
That's it, bro And maybe ballpark.
Speaker 3 (41:18):
Games not daily never.
Speaker 1 (41:23):
So my one is a thing that can enhance both
of the things that you guys liked.
Speaker 2 (41:30):
Ham.
Speaker 1 (41:31):
Yeah, ham is great, And I know turkey is like
the centerpiece. It's like the symbol of the day. But like,
give me a honey baked ham, just or a smoked
ham or any kind of ham. Chop it up. I
can eat the ham. I can make a ham sandwich
later afterwards. I can take the ham bone and use
it to make soup afterwards, especially like a potato soup.
(41:53):
Ham is great. Ham is underrated. Ham should actually be
the official agreed entree of Thanksgiving? Right?
Speaker 2 (42:02):
Really terrible?
Speaker 1 (42:03):
Why do you guys hate Turkey? Is great? Turkey this year?
Turkey is great. It's it's it's wonderful. I have no
problem with it. Ham clears it. That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2 (42:14):
That's I don't dislike turkey. I just would take every
other meat, right. I mean, you know we weren't doing
bold takes, and here we are insane.
Speaker 1 (42:21):
Turkey Isa ham is jamar Chase If is it okay?
We can I can walk on there.
Speaker 2 (42:31):
That's insane.
Speaker 1 (42:32):
No, you know what.
Speaker 3 (42:33):
The best part you kind of touched on it. The
best part about Thanksgiving, Ham is the sandwich because I
put the potato on the sandwich macket. I'll mix it
all on one big I can make.
Speaker 2 (42:44):
I think Monday is the deadline for leftover Thanksgiving food, right,
like Monday is the deadline. You would sa give it
a week, bro, I would still eat it Monday, Monday
you can eat it and then Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, throw
it at It starts to depend on what it is.
Speaker 1 (42:57):
Give it a full week? What is really you? What
do you? What are you saving a week? If I
still have food? Like, I don't want to just throw
out food.
Speaker 2 (43:05):
Oh, I'm not touching it.
Speaker 1 (43:07):
I'm not a food waste.
Speaker 2 (43:10):
Left over.
Speaker 1 (43:12):
I'm not. I'm thankful for the food that i have
and I'm going to continue being thankful for it for
a week.
Speaker 3 (43:19):
Oh.
Speaker 1 (43:20):
Also, the most underrated thing of is like afterwards, like
that night of Thanksgiving, just taking a whole bunch of things,
like I'll take I take the stuffing, the potatoes, maybe
some yams, the cranberry, Just throw it in a bowl
and just mix it all up and just mash it
and just brush it. Greens, corn bread.
Speaker 3 (43:38):
Ye, can't go wrong.
Speaker 1 (43:39):
It's fantastic.
Speaker 2 (43:41):
Yes, yos are only parks and cook you.
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Are you pie guys at all? Very overrated? I don't think.
Speaker 2 (43:50):
No, I'm not really into the pies. I don't apple
pie last weekend and I wasn't like I.
Speaker 1 (43:55):
Don't like pie.
Speaker 3 (43:56):
I'll okay, cook any dessert pretty much over pie. Marcus.
Speaker 1 (44:00):
Well, that is it.
Speaker 3 (44:02):
We are done.
