Speaker 1 (00:00):
Wow, it's a Monday Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. I'm Patrick Clayban I'll be joined by Adam
Rank and Cynthia Freeland. Today we're on the edge of
Fantasy Championship week. We'll share which of this weekend's big
(00:21):
stars will repeat in week seventeen and which injuries will
make us shuffle our rosters in the final week of
fantasy season. Plus Adam Rank hands out the award for
the least helpful Fantasy touchdown of the twenty twenty five season.
All that and more as the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast
starts now. Everybody, Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live. Patrick
claim On here, Cynthia Freeland and Adam Rank.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We have one final game of Week sixteen on what
is our final Monday edition of NFL Fantasy Live for
the twenty twenty five seasons. So folks have been eliminated,
maybe their teams have been eliminated.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
They can still there's still something to salvage, and that's
fantasy information that we will get to the people.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We love. Information.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
We love knowing exactly what's going to happen before it happens.
A crystal ball is strong in us. So even if
you're out, there's still tons to watch for because now
you'll just know exactly what's going to happen tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know what, I think a lot of people who
are eliminated are tuning in today to hear what I
have to say about the Bears and the Packers. But
you know what, I have a Bears podcast. You can
check it out after the show. I'm not going to
do that here because we're talking about fantasy football and
our championship masterpieces.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You want to talk about some masterpieces. Let's look back
at the Sunday Studs for Week sixteen. Chris al Lobby
was pretty good, Cynthia.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I would say he was pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
About thirty seven Fantasy points for you, sixteen targets, you know,
that's pretty darn good. Ten receptions, one hundred and forty
yards and two shrips to the end zone. I think
that he is such a big reason why Tyler Shuck
is making his case to be a huge building block
for the Saints going forward. Chrystal Lobby, that chemistry really
shows what can be done between the two of them.
(02:01):
And of course, if you had him in fantasy, you
were in this pretty good shape, pretty darn good shape.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Well, Cynthia, I'm wondering if you have Chris o lave
and my guy Chase Brown, were you really playing in
a championship game? Like it's one of those things where
it's like, this is amazing. If you made it this
far with Chris o'lave and Chase Brown, congratulations to you
because your patient's finally paid off. Although Chase Brown hasn't
been a disaster this year, but really not quite what
we expected coming into this season. But on a Sunday,
(02:29):
he scored close to thirty three Fantasy points. First player
in Bengals history with two receiving touchdowns and a rushing
touchdowns in one game. This is the team with Ikey Woods,
James Brooks. This has never happened before. But in any event, listen,
great game for the Bengals, and you know what, if
you're going back into the championship game, I'm looking to
(02:50):
this matchup in week seventeen, there is an opportunity to
bring it home with Chase Brown.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Patrick, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Feel done about the opportunity considering the circumstances and Joe
Burrow throwing two of those touchdowns to Chase Brown and
what was apparently a fun afternoon in Miami. Good for
bow Burrow, another game with three hundred yards through the air,
three or more touchdowns, no interceptions, tenth such game in
his career, the third most through six seasons all time.
(03:16):
So yeah, everybody's having fun for the Bengals now. Other
than the other circumstances, things are looking better than they
did last week.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, talk about things looking better than last week.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Last week, the Raiders offense had you know, seventy five
total yards in this one. In particular, look at what
the rookie running back has done one hundred and twenty
eight yards.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Two of a did double up if you're looking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
At total scrimmage yards on the team total from the
week prior, so we're talking about two touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
This is what we were imagining. Now.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Did we think it would come against the Houston Texans defense?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Certainly not.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
However, I think this is a good spot for hope
for the future. Plus, they get the g Men this week,
and you know, I have been mad at the Giants
run defense all season long. I think it's a good
opportunity for Ashton Genty to repeat yet again.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Yeah, a huge opportunity for him, And it's also been
a huge opportunity for Trevor Lawrence, who was going up
against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. And I'm not just
that a lot of people were apprehensive about going into
this because the Broncos have been one of the better
defenses into the NFL. But Trevor Lawrence went up there
and carved them up for more than thirty one points.
He had close to two hundred and eighty passing yards,
(04:20):
three touchdowns, and ran for twenty yards included his own
rushing touchdown, And it's one of those things that you know,
Trevor Lawrence. Obviously, nobody was really counting on him in
fantasy this season. We were kind of waiting and seeing
what was going to happen with Liam Cohen. But over
the last couple of weeks, we've really seen Liam Cohen
take this offense to another level. To the point too,
(04:40):
if I may throw into real football take here, Liam
Cohen needs to be involved in the conversation for Coach
of the Year. I know the forty nine Ers fans
will show Book Coyle Shan, I get it, your guy
is also good, but Liam Cohen needs to be in
that conversation Patrick, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Involved Liam Cohen as soon as he can, because ultimately
a Coach of the Year, it's turned out to be
like some sort of statement about the talent on your team,
and he's got plenty of talent on this team. Like
Parker Washington confirming his that dude's status. Big numbers this
time twenty six fantasy points, catching six of his ten
targets for one hundred and forty five yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He had fifty two percent of the team's receiving yards.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So a nice game for Parker Washington against that Denver
Broncos defense.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I mean, I just thought the rank was standing for
you to say, hey, what about Ben jumped over the
Coach of the Year Kennedy thing.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm just looking at Justin Herbert's for thirty fantasy points
QB number three. We were concerned about his O line
and by the way, that three hundred yards and two
touchdowns along with a rushing touchdown that was even better,
like the fact that he doesn't get hurt. Look what
happens when he doesn't get a ton of pressure coming
is Look what happens when he doesn't get the most
pressure in the national football Look.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
What happens when he doesn't get the most quarterback hits?
God forbid, we keep Justin Herbert clean.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I'm gonna start that campaign for next year, draft all.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The o linemen for Justin Herbert. I want to see
this every stinking weak.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You know, Cynthia, I'm a little hurt. I was not
going to say Ben Johnson deserves any of that conversation.
Look what the Lions are doing this year. There's still
a contingent of the playoffs, or so. I think one
of the reasons why they might not be is because
of this Pittsburgh Steelers duo of Jalen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.
Jalen Warren, we kind of thought coming into this game,
the Lions had been very susceptible to running backs who actually,
(06:25):
you know, run the football, and Jalen Warren did this
that fourteen rushing attempts, one hundred and forty three yards
and a pair of touchdowns. Where the Lions had actually
been really good is where stopping receivers running backs as
receivers out of the backfield. And then oh bloy, Kenneth
Gainwell actually had a big game, including five receptions seventy
(06:47):
eight yards and a touchdown. Huge game for both Steelers
running backs in this one, Patrick Sawn Force.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Some news in case you missed it, the NFL announcing
today it will suspend Steelers receiver DK Metcalf two games
for a confrontation with a fan that came Sunday in Detroit.
Metcalf will appeal, according to the NFL network at solider
Tom Pellisero. We will wait on the results of that
appeal before determining the full picture for all of you
fantasy managers elsewhere. Awful news out of Cleveland for Electric
(07:16):
rookie running back Quinshawn Judkins carted off with a broken
leg as well as a dislocated ankle against the Bills,
pair of major injuries that will end his rookie season.
As head coach Kevin Stefanski said today he expects Judkins
to make a full recovery, which is great news, but
rank in the short term, which Brown's running back carries
the most fantasy value with quin Shawn out, Well, if
(07:37):
you look.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
At what happened on Sunday, you want to go at
Raheem Sanders, who ran the ball eleven times gained forty
two yards. He was targeted one time out of the backfield,
he completed that catch. He played over fifty percent of
the steps in the second half. Trevyon Williams was forty
nine percent of his step share in the second half,
and Dylan Sampson, who missed out the game with the
handjury hand injury. We'll see what his status is moving forward,
(07:58):
but for right now, I think that Sanders is the
early play. Although this is gonna be tough going into
your championship game. If you're counting on one of these
Browns running backs being the guy to lead you to
fantasy glory, than good luck next season.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And it was clinch On Jenkins' backfield mate from the
Ohio State Buckeyes, Traveon Henderson, who also left with an
injury on Sunday night, suffering a concussion early in New
England's win over the Ravens. Too early to speculate on
his availability for Week seventeen, Cynthia. But if you're someone
who's been relying on him and wants to look through
the wire, oh, would you suggest they go.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
GiB Can we not watch that? Ever? Again?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I would suggest you go get Michael Carter shown me
some of his highlights please.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Because I cannot watch that anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I'm looking at what happens against I don't know anyone
that the Arizona Cardinals want to face now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Piece of their defense.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
They got even lighter through their defense, which means it
is likely they will run the ball even more in
this upcoming week. Last week, Carter had eleven rush of attempts.
Ste Mercado had just five. It's sixty five yards s,
which means just six and a half Fantasy points, which
forty third.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But I'm not suggesting this is your first option.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I'm just suggesting this is one looking forward, especially considering
the opponent that you would want to consider.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Also, from the game that Henderson was hurt in, the
Ravens lost quarterback Lamar Jackson to what coach John Harball called,
quote a significant contusion to his back. An MRI revealed
no structural damage and Jackson will be day to day
this week leading up to a game in Green Bay
on Saturday. So Rank, it was Tyler Hunley taking over
in Baltimore and nearly getting them a win. What do
(09:29):
you recommend doing with the rest of the Ravens of
snoop plays in week seventeen.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, I think it would be a DAN grade for
just about anybody. This Packer's defense, despite the fact that
they don't have Micah Parsons, is still one of the
best in of the league. So I think that would
be a significant downgrade for Mark Andrews. I would still
start Derek Henry obviously if he's fit and ready to go.
Zay Flowers startable, but again, downgrade a little bit more,
but still it's going to be very tough sledding for
(09:54):
these Ravens pass catchers or receiving options or running options
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Regards listen to who the quarterback is. A couple other
quarterback injuries to report.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy was not able to finish the
game Sunday after picking up a hand injury that came
on a big hit that led to a touchdown for
Tyler Nubin. There, Max Brozmer was seven to nine for
fifty two yards in relief on a bad day all
around for the Vikings offense. Jordan Mason also left this
game with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the
(10:24):
nightmare season continued for the Chiefs. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew
will be placed on ir after suffering a non displaced
tybial plateau fracture. Wow, which is job Well, it's a
crack where your shin connects to the knee socket. The
good news is is knee ligaments are all intact. It
was initially feared to be a torn acl. Chris olid
Dookin is now quarterback one for the Chiefs. Can we
(10:46):
play anyone in Kansas City this week?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Cynthia, absolutely not. Do you know who they're playing?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Who are they playing?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Denver? Denver Broncos who are coming off of a loss.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Sure, the Jacksonville Jacks looked great, but I don't think
this is the case for Chris Olodokin.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I mean, I'm not no shade there.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Maybe what you should look for if you're a Chief
fan is a higher drafting position than you're used to.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Let's just go with that. We're gonna stay positive. It's Christmas,
after all, our Christmas miracle on video. Hell, okay, not
a thing, nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But cole admitting from Cynthia's projection there. The Packers lost
to Chicago on Saturday, went from bad to worst. Jordan
Love left with a concussion. Backup quarterback Malik Willis picked
up a shoulder injury, Cynthia, If anyone who been starting
Love McCarthy Lamar needs a waiver wire replacement for Championship Week,
who do we go to at the quarterback position?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Tyler Chuck.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I'm looking at you, the Louisville Slash A lot of
other schools quarterback. This is a great season for him,
even though the Saints record is not super great. He
has had seventy or more Fantasy points in four straight games.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
And he's the first Rookeean Saints history with at least
three hundred passing yards in a game of three hundred
and eight.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
This last one a touchdown in eight rush yards.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So the difference Shruck provides you is a little bit
of extra flexibility with running and throwing on the run.
And of course I know it's only eight rushing yards
in this one, but he's had other games with more.
So the athleticism there and that deep passing. He's a
very strong arm coming out of Louisville. We talked about
his strong arm that has continued and Chris Olave knows
a little thing or two about it.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I like Tyler Schuck.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, A little bit of good news after all those injuries.
Tyler shop playing significantly better again. People criticize him for
the age twenty five. This week, set your lineups early
for four days of championship action. Christmas Day unwrapped all
day football with the NFL Holiday Day Games featuring the
Cowboys and Commanders and the Lines and the Vikings on Netflix.
(12:35):
Then a primetime showdown on Prime Video as the Broncos
visit the Kansas City Chiefs, and then on Saturday, a
doubleheader of NFL action begins here on NFL Network. It's
the Texans and Chargers live at four point thirty pm
Eastern on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. Looking
forward to those games, let's look back at some Week
(12:57):
sixteen performances that put Cole in a stocking. So who
loaded up our roster with ancient hunks of organic materials?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, Bucky Irving was the first to do that.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
In fact, I think Bucks fans probably not so happy
with this one in general. But here's how many Fantasy
points he had seven point one seven, not the seven
from Friends, which was good if you know what that's
all about.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I'm sure ranked us, but Ultimately, you know, three point
five rushing yards yards per rush this season is tied
with Fews among running Listen, it's not good. Okay, point
three to seven fantasy points per touch, So let's move
on that one stunk it up, and then just when
you thought it couldn't get any worse, it gets worse.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Zero whoa a zero one target, zero receptions. I understand
in Cleveland's defense is good, but are they that I've
got the dult Kincaid had.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Give me a goose egg.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
This is the first time that's happened since Week fifteen
of twenty twenty three. I mean, I was so young
when that last happened. I was bare old enough to drive.
I mean, goodness gracious, but ultimately here that it was
just no targets, one target and he didn't even haul
it in. So welcome to tight end number fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's awesome. It's the number. So I didn't even know
they're fifty nine tight ends playing?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, truly, Speaking of tight ends, spigging to tight ends,
he did not do very well. What about Colby Parkinson
against the Seahawks in Week sixteen. There were a number
of drops like those right there and some other like
this is probably another drop. I started Kolby Parkinson over
(14:37):
Mark Andrews and ultimately it didn't. Actually it does matter
because I still need like twelve points a night from CMC,
so it definitely could end up mattering. He was not
very good and it was just they went to him.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It just didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It was drops, and I couldn't help but take it
personally because that's the way that we do it here. Also,
Jacobe persaid, what is going on, Like we did this
whole thing like a Kobe like Jacoby Recetch, not even
I when we couldn't even do him in the Waiver
Wire hot sauce. We could not feature him, and that
helps no one nothing like that, because like he's a
legitimate starting quarterback and then he's going up against the
(15:13):
Falcons at home and you're like, well, this will be fine.
He should go out there and win us a fantasy
championship twelve fantasy points or whatever whatever the scoring is.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It wasn't great, and.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Now we're sitting here again having to sweat it out,
waiting for CMC to bail us out again. Thanks for
nothing good. I'm just kidding, Jacoby. You gotta doe this spot.
We'll try to bring it home for you.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
It's a similar situation for the guy that carried a
lot of people to this round of the Fantasy Playoffs.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Josh Allen had six point.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Nine Fantasy points, so decidedly not nice. Fewest points of
the game he actually finished in his entire career, he
only ran for his second if he was in his
entire career, he only ran for seventeen yards only through
FO one hundred and thirty. So if you're able to
survive that, get Josh Allen the next round of the
Fantasy Playoffs. Good on you, because that was a rough
(16:03):
one specifically for Josh in a similar situation for a
lot of folks. T E one, it's Tray McBride. The
Cardinals offense didn't do much as the biggest part of
that offense. It kind of tracks four catches twenty seven yards.
He also broke his streak of getting five or more
receptions for sixteen straight games, as teammate Elijah Higgins actually
caught more passes and got more yards.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Like we allrew it up.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, everybody had Elijah Higgins over Trade McBride or three
Irish wives. As I like to call, let's get to
my season ended win because a lot of folks, maybe
you had great, great performances that ultimately led to a
performance that was not so great. We start with this
one from Michael Michael Carter over Ashton Genty.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What was I thinking?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Hashtag never tinker?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You were thinking that Ashton Genty was playing the Houston Texans?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Makes perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Apparently the Texans defense didn't realize who they were, all.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Right, This next one for you, it comes courtesy of
the Slayers sat Jalen one and played Jayden Reid this
week thirteen and one down the tube.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
No, no, you know what, I'm glad you lost because
you should not have been playing Jayden Reid in that one.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
That's on you.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I take that. I take that personally. I told you,
not you. I think he texted the show and we
were like, no, dude, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Okay, start again, start with what about this one started
Brissette over Herbert and Burrow.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was all over Burrow last week, so I mean,
I maybe Herbert, I can kind of.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
He's played still playing Dallas and there was no Quinn Williams.
I'm not sure the logic here, but Burrow's not gonna
have two bad games like that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Josh had Kenneth Camebell turning it for various sators.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Can he's been playing.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Like that a lot, right, No, he's been playing great.
And we talked about this a moment ago. It's like,
not only has he been a great receiver out of
the backfield, we got him. We got to see him
also run the ball really well against the Lions this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Let's go to this next one. Cynthia lead didn't have
the fun recovery for a touchdown, set Woody Mark's turnover
didn't count, a touchdown didn't count, lost by two points.
Would have won this week in the semi playoffs.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, I mean that's just I mean, I don't know.
Sometimes I wouldn't know. I don't know regular football rules. Apparently,
that's what I've learned over the past couple of weeks,
especially Thursday and then again Sunday. But whatever, I don't
know rules. Maybe you don't have rules either, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, the referees come out and announce the touchdown for
both teams, austin.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
The touchdown, but it's not touchdowns, but it's a touch
It's important to remember it's a touchdown not actually no, no, no,
no one.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Knows Austin Josh Allen had his worst game in three years.
The good news for you, Austin, it was actually his
worst game since twenty eighteen. So you didn't go down
like with just the regular bad Josh Allen game.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
It was decidedly bad, thick all the way around. And Slayer,
I was joke by the way, Slayer, I'm joking. You're
a good person. I'm I'm bunn think he lost We love.
There was a trio top ten wide off us on
Draft Day. Now of them score ten Fantasy points in
your semifinals. So what don't we make of these disappointments.
We'll tell you when we come back on NFL Fantasy lot.

(19:33):
on Fantasy Live as we track the markets. View of
the guys on your fantasy roster. Let's get the market
trends Cynthia for week sixteen. What's in your stock report?
Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well, you always want to look at a Santa Rally
every year because stocks tend to go up when people
are buying more. And I don't know if I could
buy enough shares of Jared Goff although this might be
kind of the last time for home in two weeks,
I've mean technically not mathematically eliminated.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
However, this hope, no, no Jared Goff stock up.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Because he we had over twenty six fantasy points, just
amazingly three hundred and sixty four yards and three touchdous
news slash here this last time he's playing inside, so
just beware of going forward. But here's the thing. He
did a Santa Rally. He's good, It's all good. So
ultimately Jered Goff was good. However, I still don't know
what happened on this play, but it ended up making
(20:19):
a stock down for a guy who's usually stocked at
Now will do I think that there was perhaps a little,
I don't know on that last play, a little you know,
good acting going on. Absolutely oldly listen, if you're gonna sell.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
My god, soll sell baby sell, and.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That's what you had to do on a mon Ross
Brown because he had sub ten Fantasy points, so that's
not what we're used.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
To from him. But listen, Jan Ramsey amazing Welcome to
You song.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Isn't it an award season good job keat'.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
That should have been a fifteen yard personal foul injury
for a violently as a Moon rossaining Brown was pushing him.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'm offended, you should be.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I'm also I'll also take a couple of my own
stock up and stock downs. We'll start off with DJ
Moore Dj Moore, who had the incredible ceiling touchdown reception.
By the way, this guy who's trying to cover him
and tackling him also took a cheap shot on him
earlier in the game that wasn't called Carba works instantly.
(21:19):
By the way, I'm going to take an HB on
this one because I said last week, as the Bears
were sitting there fighting through their injuries with Luther Burden
third and of course Roma doonesay that this was going
to be a great opportunity for DJ Moore. I know
everybody has tried to get Dj Moore traded from the team.
He's not going anywhere. He is going to be a
(21:39):
member of the Chicago Bears next season as well. Loves
playing in Chicago, the first time since high school that
he has been a part of a winning team. He
is not going anywhere. But the stock down for another
guy who's playing on a winning team right now. Nico
Collins going up against the Las Vegas Raiders. This one
was This one was so difficult because you do go
(22:00):
into these things wondering. You're like, well, you know, if
Houston gets up big, they might not throw the ball
as much, but it's still it's an Eco Collins.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
You want to go out there and.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Start them, because how do the Texans get that big
lead not throwing the ball to Ico Collins. There were
some chances for him. He did have nine targets, only
connected on.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Four of them.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Need to do a little bit of a better job
right there. We also need to see, you know, maybe
when they're near the end zone instead of going to
the Dalton Schultz, you could have thrown that one an
Eco Collins. But I'm not going to sit here and complain.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I wish, you know, the celebration of Festivus I
had some grievances to air right along with you guys,
but I'll just give a regular role stock up and
congratulations to Kenneth Walker, the third on Thursday Night, season
high twenty five fantasy points. Did it on just eleven carries.
He was hitting homers. That's why, not just in the
run game, but in the past game as well. The
(22:51):
most yards from scrimmage that he's had since his rookie season.
And stopped down for again our second time today the
tight end fifty theo Johnson. Where's that the title of
the tight end fifty nine? So he Dalton, Kincaid, Cynthia,
you guys watching at home, Doug in Cleveland, you're all
the tight end fifty nine this week, zero Fantasy points,
(23:12):
two targets. He got zero catches. It's also a trend.
He's had three or fewer catches in nine of the
last ten games. Oddly enough, though, the Flores defense nightmaresley
complex and bizarre, so it's Kafka esque.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Here's my question, Well, so that I mean there were
sixty tight ends, I.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Guess, so rough one for the t sixty out there, folks.
No congratulations to the ultimate that helps no one touchdown
today Walkers, excuse.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Me, no, no, no, I'm gonna have to take a
humble brag on that one. On this show on Friday,
I said watch out for jday Walker and the two
guys whoever was on the show that day were like,
who never heard of him?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The I'm like, well you.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Will by the time Saturday's game is finished.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Rookie mistake on that on that celebration dance, because if
you kick the ground when it's that hard, you could
really hurt yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
So please let me again. Thanks for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
To the Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy Football Podcast.
We'll be back Tomorrow's The Weekeap, the Monday Night Game
Wow, it's a Monday Fantasy Live edition of the Fantasy
Football Podcast. I'm Patrick Clayban I'll be joined by Adam
Rank and Cynthia Freeland. Today we're on the edge of
Fantasy Championship week. We'll share which of this weekend's big
(00:21):
stars will repeat in week seventeen and which injuries will
make us shuffle our rosters in the final week of
fantasy season. Plus Adam Rank hands out the award for
the least helpful Fantasy touchdown of the twenty twenty five season.
All that and more as the NFL Fantasy Football Podcast
starts now. Everybody, Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Live. Patrick
claim On here, Cynthia Freeland and Adam Rank.
Speaker 2 (00:43):
We have one final game of Week sixteen on what
is our final Monday edition of NFL Fantasy Live for
the twenty twenty five seasons. So folks have been eliminated,
maybe their teams have been eliminated.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
They can still there's still something to salvage, and that's
fantasy information that we will get to the people.
Speaker 3 (01:00):
We love. Information.
Speaker 4 (01:01):
We love knowing exactly what's going to happen before it happens.
A crystal ball is strong in us. So even if
you're out, there's still tons to watch for because now
you'll just know exactly what's going to happen tonight.
Speaker 1 (01:13):
Yeah.
Speaker 5 (01:13):
You know what, I think a lot of people who
are eliminated are tuning in today to hear what I
have to say about the Bears and the Packers. But
you know what, I have a Bears podcast. You can
check it out after the show. I'm not going to
do that here because we're talking about fantasy football and
our championship masterpieces.
Speaker 1 (01:30):
You want to talk about some masterpieces. Let's look back
at the Sunday Studs for Week sixteen. Chris al Lobby
was pretty good, Cynthia.
Speaker 3 (01:36):
Yeah, I would say he was pretty good.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
About thirty seven Fantasy points for you, sixteen targets, you know,
that's pretty darn good. Ten receptions, one hundred and forty
yards and two shrips to the end zone. I think
that he is such a big reason why Tyler Shuck
is making his case to be a huge building block
for the Saints going forward. Chrystal Lobby, that chemistry really
shows what can be done between the two of them.
(02:01):
And of course, if you had him in fantasy, you
were in this pretty good shape, pretty darn good shape.
Speaker 5 (02:06):
Well, Cynthia, I'm wondering if you have Chris o lave
and my guy Chase Brown, were you really playing in
a championship game? Like it's one of those things where
it's like, this is amazing. If you made it this
far with Chris o'lave and Chase Brown, congratulations to you
because your patient's finally paid off. Although Chase Brown hasn't
been a disaster this year, but really not quite what
we expected coming into this season. But on a Sunday,
(02:29):
he scored close to thirty three Fantasy points. First player
in Bengals history with two receiving touchdowns and a rushing
touchdowns in one game. This is the team with Ikey Woods,
James Brooks. This has never happened before. But in any event, listen,
great game for the Bengals, and you know what, if
you're going back into the championship game, I'm looking to
(02:50):
this matchup in week seventeen, there is an opportunity to
bring it home with Chase Brown.
Speaker 3 (02:55):
Patrick, Yeah, you.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
Feel done about the opportunity considering the circumstances and Joe
Burrow throwing two of those touchdowns to Chase Brown and
what was apparently a fun afternoon in Miami. Good for
bow Burrow, another game with three hundred yards through the air,
three or more touchdowns, no interceptions, tenth such game in
his career, the third most through six seasons all time.
(03:16):
So yeah, everybody's having fun for the Bengals now. Other
than the other circumstances, things are looking better than they
did last week.
Speaker 3 (03:22):
Well, talk about things looking better than last week.
Speaker 4 (03:25):
Last week, the Raiders offense had you know, seventy five
total yards in this one. In particular, look at what
the rookie running back has done one hundred and twenty
eight yards.
Speaker 3 (03:34):
Two of a did double up if you're looking.
Speaker 4 (03:36):
At total scrimmage yards on the team total from the
week prior, so we're talking about two touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
This is what we were imagining. Now.
Speaker 4 (03:43):
Did we think it would come against the Houston Texans defense?
Speaker 3 (03:46):
Certainly not.
Speaker 4 (03:47):
However, I think this is a good spot for hope
for the future. Plus, they get the g Men this week,
and you know, I have been mad at the Giants
run defense all season long. I think it's a good
opportunity for Ashton Genty to repeat yet again.
Speaker 5 (03:59):
Yeah, a huge opportunity for him, And it's also been
a huge opportunity for Trevor Lawrence, who was going up
against the Denver Broncos on Sunday. And I'm not just
that a lot of people were apprehensive about going into
this because the Broncos have been one of the better
defenses into the NFL. But Trevor Lawrence went up there
and carved them up for more than thirty one points.
He had close to two hundred and eighty passing yards,
(04:20):
three touchdowns, and ran for twenty yards included his own
rushing touchdown, And it's one of those things that you know,
Trevor Lawrence. Obviously, nobody was really counting on him in
fantasy this season. We were kind of waiting and seeing
what was going to happen with Liam Cohen. But over
the last couple of weeks, we've really seen Liam Cohen
take this offense to another level. To the point too,
(04:40):
if I may throw into real football take here, Liam
Cohen needs to be involved in the conversation for Coach
of the Year. I know the forty nine Ers fans
will show Book Coyle Shan, I get it, your guy
is also good, but Liam Cohen needs to be in
that conversation Patrick, Yeah.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Involved Liam Cohen as soon as he can, because ultimately
a Coach of the Year, it's turned out to be
like some sort of statement about the talent on your team,
and he's got plenty of talent on this team. Like
Parker Washington confirming his that dude's status. Big numbers this
time twenty six fantasy points, catching six of his ten
targets for one hundred and forty five yards and a touchdown.
Speaker 1 (05:14):
He had fifty two percent of the team's receiving yards.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
So a nice game for Parker Washington against that Denver
Broncos defense.
Speaker 4 (05:23):
I mean, I just thought the rank was standing for
you to say, hey, what about Ben jumped over the
Coach of the Year Kennedy thing.
Speaker 3 (05:29):
But I don't know.
Speaker 4 (05:30):
I'm just looking at Justin Herbert's for thirty fantasy points
QB number three. We were concerned about his O line
and by the way, that three hundred yards and two
touchdowns along with a rushing touchdown that was even better,
like the fact that he doesn't get hurt. Look what
happens when he doesn't get a ton of pressure coming
is Look what happens when he doesn't get the most
pressure in the national football Look.
Speaker 3 (05:49):
What happens when he doesn't get the most quarterback hits?
God forbid, we keep Justin Herbert clean.
Speaker 4 (05:54):
I'm gonna start that campaign for next year, draft all.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
The o linemen for Justin Herbert. I want to see
this every stinking weak.
Speaker 5 (06:01):
You know, Cynthia, I'm a little hurt. I was not
going to say Ben Johnson deserves any of that conversation.
Look what the Lions are doing this year. There's still
a contingent of the playoffs, or so. I think one
of the reasons why they might not be is because
of this Pittsburgh Steelers duo of Jalen Warren and Kenneth Gainwell.
Jalen Warren, we kind of thought coming into this game,
the Lions had been very susceptible to running backs who actually,
(06:25):
you know, run the football, and Jalen Warren did this
that fourteen rushing attempts, one hundred and forty three yards
and a pair of touchdowns. Where the Lions had actually
been really good is where stopping receivers running backs as
receivers out of the backfield. And then oh bloy, Kenneth
Gainwell actually had a big game, including five receptions seventy
(06:47):
eight yards and a touchdown. Huge game for both Steelers
running backs in this one, Patrick Sawn Force.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Some news in case you missed it, the NFL announcing
today it will suspend Steelers receiver DK Metcalf two games
for a confrontation with a fan that came Sunday in Detroit.
Metcalf will appeal, according to the NFL network at solider
Tom Pellisero. We will wait on the results of that
appeal before determining the full picture for all of you
fantasy managers elsewhere. Awful news out of Cleveland for Electric
(07:16):
rookie running back Quinshawn Judkins carted off with a broken
leg as well as a dislocated ankle against the Bills,
pair of major injuries that will end his rookie season.
As head coach Kevin Stefanski said today he expects Judkins
to make a full recovery, which is great news, but
rank in the short term, which Brown's running back carries
the most fantasy value with quin Shawn out, Well, if
(07:37):
you look.
Speaker 5 (07:37):
At what happened on Sunday, you want to go at
Raheem Sanders, who ran the ball eleven times gained forty
two yards. He was targeted one time out of the backfield,
he completed that catch. He played over fifty percent of
the steps in the second half. Trevyon Williams was forty
nine percent of his step share in the second half,
and Dylan Sampson, who missed out the game with the
handjury hand injury. We'll see what his status is moving forward,
(07:58):
but for right now, I think that Sanders is the
early play. Although this is gonna be tough going into
your championship game. If you're counting on one of these
Browns running backs being the guy to lead you to
fantasy glory, than good luck next season.
Speaker 1 (08:13):
And it was clinch On Jenkins' backfield mate from the
Ohio State Buckeyes, Traveon Henderson, who also left with an
injury on Sunday night, suffering a concussion early in New
England's win over the Ravens. Too early to speculate on
his availability for Week seventeen, Cynthia. But if you're someone
who's been relying on him and wants to look through
the wire, oh, would you suggest they go.
Speaker 3 (08:32):
GiB Can we not watch that? Ever? Again?
Speaker 4 (08:34):
I would suggest you go get Michael Carter shown me
some of his highlights please.
Speaker 3 (08:37):
Because I cannot watch that anymore.
Speaker 4 (08:39):
I'm looking at what happens against I don't know anyone
that the Arizona Cardinals want to face now.
Speaker 3 (08:45):
Piece of their defense.
Speaker 4 (08:46):
They got even lighter through their defense, which means it
is likely they will run the ball even more in
this upcoming week. Last week, Carter had eleven rush of attempts.
Ste Mercado had just five. It's sixty five yards s,
which means just six and a half Fantasy points, which
forty third.
Speaker 3 (09:00):
But I'm not suggesting this is your first option.
Speaker 4 (09:03):
I'm just suggesting this is one looking forward, especially considering
the opponent that you would want to consider.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
Also, from the game that Henderson was hurt in, the
Ravens lost quarterback Lamar Jackson to what coach John Harball called,
quote a significant contusion to his back. An MRI revealed
no structural damage and Jackson will be day to day
this week leading up to a game in Green Bay
on Saturday. So Rank, it was Tyler Hunley taking over
in Baltimore and nearly getting them a win. What do
(09:29):
you recommend doing with the rest of the Ravens of
snoop plays in week seventeen.
Speaker 5 (09:33):
Well, I think it would be a DAN grade for
just about anybody. This Packer's defense, despite the fact that
they don't have Micah Parsons, is still one of the
best in of the league. So I think that would
be a significant downgrade for Mark Andrews. I would still
start Derek Henry obviously if he's fit and ready to go.
Zay Flowers startable, but again, downgrade a little bit more,
but still it's going to be very tough sledding for
(09:54):
these Ravens pass catchers or receiving options or running options
or anything like that.
Speaker 3 (09:59):
Regards listen to who the quarterback is. A couple other
quarterback injuries to report.
Speaker 1 (10:03):
Vikings quarterback JJ McCarthy was not able to finish the
game Sunday after picking up a hand injury that came
on a big hit that led to a touchdown for
Tyler Nubin. There, Max Brozmer was seven to nine for
fifty two yards in relief on a bad day all
around for the Vikings offense. Jordan Mason also left this
game with an ankle injury. Meanwhile, in Kansas City, the
(10:24):
nightmare season continued for the Chiefs. Backup quarterback Gardner Minshew
will be placed on ir after suffering a non displaced
tybial plateau fracture. Wow, which is job Well, it's a
crack where your shin connects to the knee socket. The
good news is is knee ligaments are all intact. It
was initially feared to be a torn acl. Chris olid
Dookin is now quarterback one for the Chiefs. Can we
(10:46):
play anyone in Kansas City this week?
Speaker 3 (10:47):
Cynthia, absolutely not. Do you know who they're playing?
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Who are they playing?
Speaker 3 (10:50):
Denver? Denver Broncos who are coming off of a loss.
Speaker 4 (10:53):
Sure, the Jacksonville Jacks looked great, but I don't think
this is the case for Chris Olodokin.
Speaker 3 (10:58):
I mean, I'm not no shade there.
Speaker 4 (11:00):
Maybe what you should look for if you're a Chief
fan is a higher drafting position than you're used to.
Speaker 3 (11:05):
Let's just go with that. We're gonna stay positive. It's Christmas,
after all, our Christmas miracle on video. Hell, okay, not
a thing, nothing.
Speaker 1 (11:13):
But cole admitting from Cynthia's projection there. The Packers lost
to Chicago on Saturday, went from bad to worst. Jordan
Love left with a concussion. Backup quarterback Malik Willis picked
up a shoulder injury, Cynthia, If anyone who been starting
Love McCarthy Lamar needs a waiver wire replacement for Championship Week,
who do we go to at the quarterback position?
Speaker 3 (11:33):
Tyler Chuck.
Speaker 4 (11:34):
I'm looking at you, the Louisville Slash A lot of
other schools quarterback. This is a great season for him,
even though the Saints record is not super great. He
has had seventy or more Fantasy points in four straight games.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
That's a lot.
Speaker 4 (11:48):
And he's the first Rookeean Saints history with at least
three hundred passing yards in a game of three hundred
and eight.
Speaker 3 (11:52):
This last one a touchdown in eight rush yards.
Speaker 4 (11:54):
So the difference Shruck provides you is a little bit
of extra flexibility with running and throwing on the run.
And of course I know it's only eight rushing yards
in this one, but he's had other games with more.
So the athleticism there and that deep passing. He's a
very strong arm coming out of Louisville. We talked about
his strong arm that has continued and Chris Olave knows
a little thing or two about it.
Speaker 3 (12:13):
So I like Tyler Schuck.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
Yeah, A little bit of good news after all those injuries.
Tyler shop playing significantly better again. People criticize him for
the age twenty five. This week, set your lineups early
for four days of championship action. Christmas Day unwrapped all
day football with the NFL Holiday Day Games featuring the
Cowboys and Commanders and the Lines and the Vikings on Netflix.
(12:35):
Then a primetime showdown on Prime Video as the Broncos
visit the Kansas City Chiefs, and then on Saturday, a
doubleheader of NFL action begins here on NFL Network. It's
the Texans and Chargers live at four point thirty pm
Eastern on NFL Network and streaming on NFL Plus. Looking
forward to those games, let's look back at some Week
(12:57):
sixteen performances that put Cole in a stocking. So who
loaded up our roster with ancient hunks of organic materials?
Speaker 3 (13:06):
Well, Bucky Irving was the first to do that.
Speaker 4 (13:09):
In fact, I think Bucks fans probably not so happy
with this one in general. But here's how many Fantasy
points he had seven point one seven, not the seven
from Friends, which was good if you know what that's
all about.
Speaker 2 (13:22):
No, I don't.
Speaker 4 (13:23):
I'm sure ranked us, but Ultimately, you know, three point
five rushing yards yards per rush this season is tied
with Fews among running Listen, it's not good. Okay, point
three to seven fantasy points per touch, So let's move
on that one stunk it up, and then just when
you thought it couldn't get any worse, it gets worse.
Speaker 3 (13:39):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (13:40):
Zero whoa a zero one target, zero receptions. I understand
in Cleveland's defense is good, but are they that I've
got the dult Kincaid had.
Speaker 3 (13:50):
Give me a goose egg.
Speaker 4 (13:53):
This is the first time that's happened since Week fifteen
of twenty twenty three. I mean, I was so young
when that last happened. I was bare old enough to drive.
I mean, goodness gracious, but ultimately here that it was
just no targets, one target and he didn't even haul
it in. So welcome to tight end number fifty nine.
Speaker 3 (14:11):
That's awesome. It's the number. So I didn't even know
they're fifty nine tight ends playing?
Speaker 5 (14:16):
Yeah, truly, Speaking of tight ends, spigging to tight ends,
he did not do very well. What about Colby Parkinson
against the Seahawks in Week sixteen. There were a number
of drops like those right there and some other like
this is probably another drop. I started Kolby Parkinson over
(14:37):
Mark Andrews and ultimately it didn't. Actually it does matter
because I still need like twelve points a night from CMC,
so it definitely could end up mattering. He was not
very good and it was just they went to him.
Speaker 3 (14:48):
It just didn't happen.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
It was drops, and I couldn't help but take it
personally because that's the way that we do it here. Also,
Jacobe persaid, what is going on, Like we did this
whole thing like a Kobe like Jacoby Recetch, not even
I when we couldn't even do him in the Waiver
Wire hot sauce. We could not feature him, and that
helps no one nothing like that, because like he's a
legitimate starting quarterback and then he's going up against the
(15:13):
Falcons at home and you're like, well, this will be fine.
He should go out there and win us a fantasy
championship twelve fantasy points or whatever whatever the scoring is.
Speaker 3 (15:23):
It wasn't great, and.
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Now we're sitting here again having to sweat it out,
waiting for CMC to bail us out again. Thanks for
nothing good. I'm just kidding, Jacoby. You gotta doe this spot.
We'll try to bring it home for you.
Speaker 1 (15:36):
It's a similar situation for the guy that carried a
lot of people to this round of the Fantasy Playoffs.
Speaker 3 (15:41):
Josh Allen had six point.
Speaker 1 (15:43):
Nine Fantasy points, so decidedly not nice. Fewest points of
the game he actually finished in his entire career, he
only ran for his second if he was in his
entire career, he only ran for seventeen yards only through
FO one hundred and thirty. So if you're able to
survive that, get Josh Allen the next round of the
Fantasy Playoffs. Good on you, because that was a rough
(16:03):
one specifically for Josh in a similar situation for a
lot of folks. T E one, it's Tray McBride. The
Cardinals offense didn't do much as the biggest part of
that offense. It kind of tracks four catches twenty seven yards.
He also broke his streak of getting five or more
receptions for sixteen straight games, as teammate Elijah Higgins actually
caught more passes and got more yards.
Speaker 3 (16:25):
Like we allrew it up.
Speaker 1 (16:26):
Yeah, everybody had Elijah Higgins over Trade McBride or three
Irish wives. As I like to call, let's get to
my season ended win because a lot of folks, maybe
you had great, great performances that ultimately led to a
performance that was not so great. We start with this
one from Michael Michael Carter over Ashton Genty.
Speaker 3 (16:45):
What was I thinking?
Speaker 1 (16:47):
Hashtag never tinker?
Speaker 4 (16:50):
You were thinking that Ashton Genty was playing the Houston Texans?
Speaker 1 (16:54):
Makes perfect.
Speaker 4 (16:55):
Apparently the Texans defense didn't realize who they were, all.
Speaker 1 (16:58):
Right, This next one for you, it comes courtesy of
the Slayers sat Jalen one and played Jayden Reid this
week thirteen and one down the tube.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
No, no, you know what, I'm glad you lost because
you should not have been playing Jayden Reid in that one.
Speaker 3 (17:12):
That's on you.
Speaker 5 (17:13):
I take that. I take that personally. I told you,
not you. I think he texted the show and we
were like, no, dude, don't do that.
Speaker 1 (17:21):
Okay, start again, start with what about this one started
Brissette over Herbert and Burrow.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
I was all over Burrow last week, so I mean,
I maybe Herbert, I can kind of.
Speaker 3 (17:32):
I don't know.
Speaker 4 (17:32):
He's played still playing Dallas and there was no Quinn Williams.
I'm not sure the logic here, but Burrow's not gonna
have two bad games like that.
Speaker 1 (17:39):
Josh had Kenneth Camebell turning it for various sators.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
Can he's been playing.
Speaker 5 (17:43):
Like that a lot, right, No, he's been playing great.
And we talked about this a moment ago. It's like,
not only has he been a great receiver out of
the backfield, we got him. We got to see him
also run the ball really well against the Lions this weekend.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
Let's go to this next one. Cynthia lead didn't have
the fun recovery for a touchdown, set Woody Mark's turnover
didn't count, a touchdown didn't count, lost by two points.
Would have won this week in the semi playoffs.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Well, I mean that's just I mean, I don't know.
Sometimes I wouldn't know. I don't know regular football rules. Apparently,
that's what I've learned over the past couple of weeks,
especially Thursday and then again Sunday. But whatever, I don't
know rules. Maybe you don't have rules either, I don't understand.
Speaker 1 (18:23):
Yeah, the referees come out and announce the touchdown for
both teams, austin.
Speaker 4 (18:28):
The touchdown, but it's not touchdowns, but it's a touch
It's important to remember it's a touchdown not actually no, no, no,
no one.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
Knows Austin Josh Allen had his worst game in three years.
The good news for you, Austin, it was actually his
worst game since twenty eighteen. So you didn't go down
like with just the regular bad Josh Allen game.
Speaker 5 (18:47):
It was decidedly bad, thick all the way around. And Slayer,
I was joke by the way, Slayer, I'm joking. You're
a good person. I'm I'm bunn think he lost We love.
There was a trio top ten wide off us on
Draft Day. Now of them score ten Fantasy points in
your semifinals. So what don't we make of these disappointments.
We'll tell you when we come back on NFL Fantasy lot.

Speaker 4 (19:43):
Well, you always want to look at a Santa Rally
every year because stocks tend to go up when people
are buying more. And I don't know if I could
buy enough shares of Jared Goff although this might be
kind of the last time for home in two weeks,
I've mean technically not mathematically eliminated.
Speaker 3 (19:55):
However, this hope, no, no Jared Goff stock up.
Speaker 4 (19:59):
Because he we had over twenty six fantasy points, just
amazingly three hundred and sixty four yards and three touchdous
news slash here this last time he's playing inside, so
just beware of going forward. But here's the thing. He
did a Santa Rally. He's good, It's all good. So
ultimately Jered Goff was good. However, I still don't know
what happened on this play, but it ended up making
(20:19):
a stock down for a guy who's usually stocked at

I don't know on that last play, a little you know,
good acting going on. Absolutely oldly listen, if you're gonna sell.
Speaker 3 (20:34):
My god, soll sell baby sell, and.
Speaker 4 (20:37):
That's what you had to do on a mon Ross
Brown because he had sub ten Fantasy points, so that's
not what we're used.
Speaker 3 (20:42):
To from him. But listen, Jan Ramsey amazing Welcome to
You song.
Speaker 4 (20:46):
Isn't it an award season good job keat'.
Speaker 5 (20:49):
That should have been a fifteen yard personal foul injury
for a violently as a Moon rossaining Brown was pushing him.
Speaker 3 (20:56):
I'm offended, you should be.
Speaker 5 (20:59):
I'm also I'll also take a couple of my own
stock up and stock downs. We'll start off with DJ
Moore Dj Moore, who had the incredible ceiling touchdown reception.
By the way, this guy who's trying to cover him
and tackling him also took a cheap shot on him
earlier in the game that wasn't called Carba works instantly.
(21:19):
By the way, I'm going to take an HB on
this one because I said last week, as the Bears
were sitting there fighting through their injuries with Luther Burden
third and of course Roma doonesay that this was going
to be a great opportunity for DJ Moore. I know
everybody has tried to get Dj Moore traded from the team.
He's not going anywhere. He is going to be a
(21:39):
member of the Chicago Bears next season as well. Loves
playing in Chicago, the first time since high school that
he has been a part of a winning team. He
is not going anywhere. But the stock down for another
guy who's playing on a winning team right now. Nico
Collins going up against the Las Vegas Raiders. This one
was This one was so difficult because you do go
(22:00):
into these things wondering. You're like, well, you know, if
Houston gets up big, they might not throw the ball
as much, but it's still it's an Eco Collins.
Speaker 3 (22:07):
You want to go out there and.
Speaker 5 (22:08):
Start them, because how do the Texans get that big
lead not throwing the ball to Ico Collins. There were
some chances for him. He did have nine targets, only
connected on.
Speaker 3 (22:17):
Four of them.
Speaker 5 (22:19):
Need to do a little bit of a better job
right there. We also need to see, you know, maybe
when they're near the end zone instead of going to
the Dalton Schultz, you could have thrown that one an
Eco Collins. But I'm not going to sit here and complain.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I wish, you know, the celebration of Festivus I
had some grievances to air right along with you guys,
but I'll just give a regular role stock up and
congratulations to Kenneth Walker, the third on Thursday Night, season
high twenty five fantasy points. Did it on just eleven carries.
He was hitting homers. That's why, not just in the
run game, but in the past game as well. The
(22:51):
most yards from scrimmage that he's had since his rookie season.
And stopped down for again our second time today the
tight end fifty theo Johnson. Where's that the title of
the tight end fifty nine? So he Dalton, Kincaid, Cynthia,
you guys watching at home, Doug in Cleveland, you're all
the tight end fifty nine this week, zero Fantasy points,
(23:12):
two targets. He got zero catches. It's also a trend.
He's had three or fewer catches in nine of the
last ten games. Oddly enough, though, the Flores defense nightmaresley
complex and bizarre, so it's Kafka esque.
Speaker 4 (23:26):
Here's my question, Well, so that I mean there were
sixty tight ends, I.
Speaker 1 (23:29):
Guess, so rough one for the t sixty out there, folks.
No congratulations to the ultimate that helps no one touchdown
today Walkers, excuse.
Speaker 5 (23:38):
Me, no, no, no, I'm gonna have to take a
humble brag on that one. On this show on Friday,
I said watch out for jday Walker and the two
guys whoever was on the show that day were like,
who never heard of him?
Speaker 3 (23:51):
The I'm like, well you.
Speaker 5 (23:52):
Will by the time Saturday's game is finished.
Speaker 4 (23:55):
Rookie mistake on that on that celebration dance, because if
you kick the ground when it's that hard, you could
really hurt yourself.
Speaker 3 (24:00):
So please let me again. Thanks for tuning in.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
