Speaker 1 (00:01):
You want experience during your football season, well, buckle love,
sweet cheeks. We've got all the experience in the world.
This is I want your flex with Dan Buyer and
Mike Harman. Mike and Dan breakdown everything you need to
set your line ups from position rankings, two starts and sits.
(00:24):
The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now
let's get your flex on. Here's Dan Buyer and Mike Harman.
Get Mike on Twitter at Swallen Dome. You can find
me on Twitter at Dan Buyer on Fox. Our executive producers,
Ryan bur Shringer, you can find him on Twitter at
Ryan burr shing Er. Mike, we have hit the home stretch.
(00:45):
Could be final week of some regular seasons, the next
to last week of the regular season for other leagues,
but the end is near. In a lot to clean
up as we are about to enter the playoffs. Yeah,
I mean, even if you're out, you play that roster
the last line and your last moment of glory for
(01:05):
the fantasy season could be to screw up somebody else's
playoff ambitions tiebreakers, uh and send them to uh well,
fantasy hell, because they'll think of all the roster moves
they should have made while sitting around watching other people
open presence. The other part about it is you can
try to avoid maybe that awful league punishment for finishing
in last place, So that is also on the line,
(01:28):
I'm sure for people this week. But there's there's something
else with within this. And this is what I love
about doing this podcast is it's not just names and numbers,
and we'll get Mike's rankings coming up in just a
couple of minutes, but I do want to throw out
a scenario that I think a lot of people are
are facing, and that's tiebreakers. When you went to the
regular season of your league, it is imperative to have
(01:51):
your tiebreaker set so your league members understand what's at stake.
And I'll give you a scenario in a league down
I'm in, I wanted to find out because I'm not
the commissioner of that league. Someone else is, and there's
a scenario where in a matchup, I need one team
to win and the other teams lose. Because I thought
to myself, hey, I've got a head to head matchup
(02:14):
against this guy, and if he and I end up
having the same records, he's the one that I need
to lose, so in case I lose, I have the tiebreaker.
So I text our commission, Hey, what's the deal with
the tiebreakers? And I goes it head to head? Is
it points? What is it? And he writes back, he goes,
points as it should be? And I don't know if
(02:35):
I agree with that, Mike. Why My whole point is this,
points are Obviously you're taking everything out of the equation
unlucky week because you played the guy with the highest
amount of points that week. Maybe you did it four
four weeks straight. I get that, But there's a reason
we play games, and if you have a head to
(02:56):
head win over someone or two wins or wept them,
that should take precedent. In my longtime league, we do
have head to head. I found it almost appalling that
he said points as it should be, Like it's like
this is the way that all fantasy leagues should be run,
(03:16):
because my counter to that is why have the games?
So where do you stand when it comes to tiebreakers
entering a fantasy football regular season? Well, I certainly don't
think that the well this is the way it should
be to be all to end all, like you're the
grand Emperor of things. Uh is the way to go.
So I'll make sure to send him a text and
(03:38):
mock him for that. Uh kind of uh buffoon. But
I mean I I see the point to a degree
and that you were if you're scoring at a high rate.
I mean I once went went over a regular season.
It was improbable I had the third most points scored
in the league. I just happened to hit a buzz
saw every hymn week. Uh. And that's just the way
(04:01):
it goes. But for tiebreaker purposes, I could see the
argument of, hey, you scored a lot of points and
you move forward. So there's two things I would say
that this number one, the lead constitution needs to be
where everybody can find it, and it needs to be
laid out in a way that there's no vagaries, uncertainties, etcetera.
That's part one. Uh. The other part being, Yeah, you
(04:22):
play the games for a reason, and that's where while
I understand the points total, but at the at the
end of the cycle, isn't that the way the whole NFL,
college football and all competitions work. Some days your best
just isn't good enough, and that's the way it roles.
So if the head to head you lose, lose to
(04:43):
these other teams, Yeah, you lose the tiebreaker. I don't
see why, because you scored points that that automatically becomes
the way it has to be. And I think that's foolhardy.
I think you play the schedule and unfortunately sometimes you
run into that buzz saw that take down first do
you want to win in on this, I'll take the
(05:04):
opposite side. I think it should be total points, um.
And that's because there's way too much variance when it
comes to weekly matchups. And for example, in my main league,
I I'm fighting for the last playoff spot and I'm
a game back of two teams. One of those teams
I beat, the other I lost too, but both of
(05:25):
them I have. I have nearly two hundred more points
than the guy that I lost to that's ahead of me.
I have almost a hundred more than the other guy.
Uh So I'm still fighting for that playoff spot. And
quite frankly, when you're looking at the overall picture, it's
about having the best teams in the playoffs when you can. Uh,
the total points are the best indication of the best
(05:48):
teams in the league. Um. Look, I get it, of course,
when you're playing in a head to head league and
not a best ball league. I understand where the logic
is in terms of using head to head because that
is what ultimately matters in the standings. But when it
comes to roster construction, when it comes to the overall
season and the way in which you've operated your team
throughout the season, the overall points that you've scored is
(06:11):
the best representation of how you've performed throughout the season. Now,
of course, yeah, I again, I get it, like, that's
what a best ball league is. That's not what a
head to head league is. Um, But I do think
that it is more fair to opt for the overall
points in that manner because quite frankly, matchups are random,
(06:33):
the schedule is random. There's tons of variants in terms
of like what could happen in terms of you play
guys with guys on buy, you, you have an injury,
there's a lot of different things. I get. I I
understand where you guys are coming from. But I will
take the side of the fact that when you look
at it's very frustrating to be one of the top
(06:55):
scoring teams in the league and not in the playoffs.
So uh, when you're when you're fighting for that last
playoff spot. It keeps these other teams in it at
the end of the s at the end of the season,
and then it's I I just think it's more fair
to opt for the total points. The fairness part when
you talk about all the variants or that the things
(07:17):
that can be random, is just kind of the part
that that I go back to. I was like, there's
a flip side of it, like to to Burshes point,
the team that is down two hundred points may have
an advantage over bursting or if that if that was
the scenaria, I can't remember the exact scenario that you
(07:37):
played out, but now you have allowed this other team
to at least continue to play and be active in
in the league and continue to have a shot. And
I think that that's just as much about it, Like
why play the games if it's just going to be
a points competition. We had a guy in our one
of our leagues that that wanted to do that, and
I just, you know, like, no, thanks. Each week, I
don't want to find out if I finished fourth or
(08:00):
sixth and then at the end of the year maybe
finished like that. That doesn't appeal. To me, what's fun
is finding out that on Monday Night football, he's got
Alvin Kamara and I've got Mike Evans and we're going
head to head and this game means something. And that's
to me what it's all about. No, it's it's it's
not perfect, but it does add the element and why
(08:22):
I think that you need to play games. There are
certain games on a schedule that are more important in
the NFL than others, and I think that should be
the way in fantasy football. And because you had to
buy that week, or maybe your player wasn't concussion protocol,
that all comes with it. But if you're able to
get that advantage over that other person for that tiebreaker,
that's what I think the leagues are all about. That's
(08:43):
why I think that is so important. I'll take it
into the guillotine, which again goes to you know, roster settingment,
not head to head like a team that was just chopped.
Lamar Jackson leaves the game early. He by far had
the most points per game all year long. Oh sorry,
you're done because you had the one bad week. Variance
(09:05):
is part of the game week to week battles and
and you know what just my and it's not being
glibbed to you, burseuch tony. The argument to a degree is, um,
life's not fair, and this this is what keeps you
coming back because there are the imperfections of all of
this that you you've managed what you thought was a
perfect season, and unfortunately sometimes things don't go your way.
(09:29):
It's a nice metaphor for life. So I tell my
kids all the time, you could do everything that on
your side the right way, doesn't mean you're gonna win
in a competition, in a classroom, in dealing with your
idiot friends over group projects, and all of it happens, uh,
and you have to, you know, sometimes be angry about
it and just say I'll always run because it's about
(09:49):
a story, right, If you get left out, then if
you get in in't it? Yes? Yes, the story the
story rative that lead answered because I had more total
points than the other No, nobody cares about that. It's
remember the year when I didn't make the freaking playoffs
and I had like five hundred more points and everybody
that was absolute bs. That is what fantasy football is
(10:11):
all about. And uh, all right, so storytime, anger vitriol.
I've never playing this damn game again, all of those
things only to say when does sign up? Speak? First?
You play fantasy football to get screwed over, don't you
understand this? Like there's there is no fairness. The NFL
(10:32):
even realized and said let's give six teams buyes in
Week fourteen, So like they're they're even in on the gig.
That's what that's what this is all about. I play
fantasy football to use my career in a way where
I can take money from my brands. That's why there's
my guy. How many here's a true question, honest question,
(10:54):
percentage wise in your league's and then we'll get to
Mike's rankings and get this percentage in your leagu burst.
You can go first, Horny can go second. How many
guys actually care about the money? Would you say? Um?
On average? And depending on the league, I think, um, yeah,
maybe half. I guess it depends on how much money
(11:15):
there is, and it depends on how engaged they are. Um.
But I think in the in the bigger money leagues
have to even even some of the guys who like
don't like you know what, Yeah, I guess I guess
they don't because there are guys who don't like playing
and know that they're bad, and know that they lose money,
and they complain about losing money every season, but they
(11:35):
do continue to play. Yea, So harmon, I'd say it's zero.
It's all about blanking over the other guys because I mean,
like I'll be honest, everything that I'm playing, Um, all
the friends leagues got torn asunder. I got disinvited once
I started doing all this stuff for a living in
a couple of them, which I don't think anybody understands.
(11:56):
The more you watch, the more paralyzed and uh, you
see things and ghosts that aren't there. You feel like
Sam Donald at times, old reference, I know, but it works.
But it's it's the idea that, all right, I can
beat you. That's why no trades happen in a lot
of these leagues, you know, because you don't want to
be the guy being made fun of at the next
draft going thanks for giving me the league, Jack, you
(12:18):
know that whole thing. So it's it's all the prideful
and peacocking element of it, more than a couple of
bucks that are out there, all right, and none of
that stuff. Let's get to the rankings. Mike your top
five plays at the quarterback, running back, and wide receiver positions.
Four Week fourteen. Let's start with the signal callers one
(12:39):
through five. I gotta say it's a curious week with
some of these matchups where we might be UH pushing
some of the usual suspects down a bit, not enough
to knock them out, but enough to just say, well,
all right, so Jalen Hurt's going up against the Giants, Fine,
set it, forget it, move on to a tongue of volo.
Going up against the Charges is a curious one. But
the Chargers don't run away and hide from anybody. And
(13:00):
last week two I did have some opportunities against the
forty niners uh timing off and that's what disruptive fronts
will do for you. But here we've watched the Chargers
and as much as they're still in it, they feel
like they're really far out of it. Does that make sense?
Sunday Night Football to and company get to shine. Dak
Prescott going up against Houston. The only question here is
(13:21):
with that seven teen point number, if they take care
of business, is he on the sideline sip and tea
uh to start the second half, or is he just
hiding in the giant kettle. I don't know. Uh. Number
four Patrick Mahomes going up against Denver. Yeah, Denver's defense
has been fantastic, and this is a spot where maybe
it's a little bit of a cautionary tale, but still
makes the top five. And then Josh Allen going up
(13:43):
against New York. New York Football Jets are Jason Smith's Jets.
I just use it as a collective. York felt like
for a couple of weeks the nation kind of got
behind them because it was a lot of chaos at quarterback,
some bravado in Sauce Gardner, and they were just good
enough to be a nuisance going everybody thought they were
(14:04):
going to be trash. Uh. And now still in the
playoff picture, but the Buffalo Bills are a ten point favorite.
I think Allan still makes hey, but this one's uh,
this one's gonna require some extra finesse. I think your
point about Dac and not only hiding in the salvation
army kettle in the second half, but it's if they
get up like the Dolphins did against the Texans. You know,
(14:26):
if you're up thirty to nothing, what does that mean
for everybody? Else. What does that mean for Pollard? Does
it mean for Zeke? What does it mean for Ceedee
Lamb and Dalton Schultz and then obviously Dak Prescott who
you mentioned Texans going back to Davis Mills, I don't
know how much of a difference that's going to be.
I was so high on him, Dan Hi. I know
a lot of people were. He leads to the NFL
(14:48):
and neck, So that's why you wouldn't be high. Yes,
but you know, maybe maybe can you make that into
a stat category? What does any what kind of acroma
him can we make of that? Yeah? Yeah, so I
I just that would be the only thing with the
Cowboys because I've I've got a couple of them that
I'm playing in Week four teen that you just in
(15:08):
that first ninety minutes, I think is when you gotta
make your hey, because I'm just not sure on how
competitive the Texans are going to be. All Right, those
are your top five quarterbacks. Let's get to the top
five running backs for Week four teen. Derrick Henry against Jacksonville.
We know the history uh running a muck once again.
I do have Romandre Stevenson all the way up at
number two, going up against Arizona, New England, a slight
(15:31):
favorite in that one Monday night football Bill Belichick all
everybody kind of whispering and and wondering what happens going forward,
Brady Talk, etcetera. Now it's all fun and games. We
saw a few weeks of the regular season to iron out,
and this guy has been playing really well. Uh. Dalvin
Cook going up against Detroit, Tony Pollard against Houston again,
(15:51):
that giant asterisk is sitting out there. How much Malik
Davis do we get to see in the second half?
There you go. There, there's a name if you really
want to add a dollar to your deadly fantasy play. Uh.
And then finally Austin Ekeler going against Miami. It's not
always pretty, but the final numbers have been their weekend
week out. Those are your top five running backs for
(16:12):
the upcoming week. A lot of familiar names making it
and that Vikings Lions game with Devin Cook at number three,
Lions the favorite, even though the Vikings come in with
their tenant to record, and there's there's a lot of
history on the line where like the Vikings win percentage
is greater than what the they have there in the
(16:34):
win percentage the Vikings, uh have about fifty even though
the Lions are favored in scenarios like this. We got
a number from from the people at Fox pat saying
that teams that like the Vikings in the scenario have
never won this game. They've never covered, so we could
see history change in week fourteen. All right, let's go
(16:56):
to the wide receiver's top five pass catchers for week
four team. All right, a lot of the usual suspects,
but jumbled once again in a new surprise entrance based
on matchup opportunity. Let's get it start as Tyreek Hill
going up against the Charges. Okay, uh, this is one
expecting points. We look at the over under fifty one
and a half, one of your highest totals of the week.
My guy a'man ras St Brown, and I do this
(17:18):
because most leagues at least have the half PPR, if
not full. And he's just been a beast and this
is an opportunity in another one of the expected high
scoring games, home favorites against the Minnesota Vikings. Again, folks
trying to make sense of that. Vegas um merchants putting
out full books to explain how this works and how
betting works fifty two. You're total in that one. I'm
(17:42):
gonna go with Stefon Diggs going against the New York
Football Jets. You want to challenge, He'll take your challenge
and he'll dunk on you all the way through. Now
before Justin Jefferson going against Detroit. Remember this was a
matchup that wasn't terribly kind to him early on in
the season. We'll see if the Detroit secondary is up
to the task. Uh as we roll in, and then
we look at d K Metcalf going up against Carolina
(18:04):
forty four. The total run games all banged up, means
more geno through the air. All right, there are your
top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers four Week fourteen.
Now we do the other thing where we tell you
the hot plays and cold source and ninja's for the
upcoming week. Mike core your hot plays. Guys, you gotta
get into your lineup that aren't in the top five
for Week fourteen. Start with the Signal College Gino going
(18:25):
up against Carolina. The running games banged up, but Metcalf
and lock It are ready to go. DK made my
top five wide receivers. So looking for the answer through
the air, Kirk Cousins going up against Detroit. High scoring
game is expected between Jefferson theland Osborne on the wings
of Love and Dalvin Cook and Alexander Madison. Yeah, you
could sing the song Lynn Manuel Miranda might come get
(18:47):
me if I do. Uh. So, opportunities there, Zeke against
Houston again, Operation sit down? Is there? Maybe some more whackable?
I mean until for a good cause Ottavious Murray going
up against the can the City Chiefs. I don't trust
anything else really in this game, a whole way on
the Denver side. But let's get the run game involved.
Uh And then we look at DeVante Smith from Philadelphia
(19:09):
going up against the Giants. They'll do everything they can
and sell out to try to slow down A. J. Brown,
which means more opportunity for Smith who's coming on here late.
And then Jerry Judy, Yes, we'll go back to the
well in Denver. I'm not expecting a grandiose point total,
but yards and moving the ball between the twenties might
(19:30):
be able to be done against this k C secondary.
All right, let's set up the cold source. Guys you
don't want to touch see anything to do with coming
here In Week fourteen, cold source for the week, going
big game hunting, starting at the wide receiver position. Deebo
saying we're going up against Tampa Bay. Spread the ball
around brock Purty, I have a giant question mark because
he goes up against tough Tampa Bay. D still top ten.
(19:52):
For all we've talked about, Uh, the the offense and
struggles defense still getting it done most weeks. UM Brady
and company always in striking distance. Uh. Now we got
Gabe David's going up against the Jets. Have Stefon Diggs
matchup proof going up against uh, the Jets. On the
other side, he was in the top five, but it's
(20:12):
forty three and a half total, and Gabe Davis is
a guy that might end up becoming more decay decoy
kind of. I got DK metcalf In earlier in the
top five. He's still on the brain, but decoy like
in this one as the Jets still playing with a
lot of pride and heart. That past defense has been fantastic.
Davis more a w R three for me this week.
(20:35):
Go back to that Bay Area matchup. Brady coming home, Yeah,
I know that to eighty one and two. Big fantastic
fourth quarter comeback do you want to sweat that out
in the final week of the regular season. No, no,
I don't think you do. So he's on the pines
for this week. You can just ride this one out
and see what happens. Nag Harris banged up a bit
(20:55):
once again going up against the Baltimore front. I want
no part of it. I don't believe this except as
a back end number two Zonovan Night. Going back to
that Jets Buffalo matchup, you got reinforcements coming into the
running back room. And while he may still have a
good workload and Solis saying all the right thing, a
(21:15):
little bit nervousness there, and then the other cautionary tail
back to the Bay Area McCaffrey, what does he do
with those touches this time around? Can he find the
big play or are you dependent on just a high
PPR level? Interesting list always with the Gold soars. Finally, Mike,
who do you got for the Ninjas in Week fourteen? Carolina?
Look at frisky d J. Moore tops ore Ninja board
(21:37):
going up against Seattle. Secondary opportunities abound. Just throw it up.
Let him make plays as we flow coming out of
the bye week, maybe they'll have a little more connectivity,
a little more cohesion there for Sam Donald Number two,
Hollywood Brown, welcome back again, team coming off the bye week,
Monday Night football against the New England Patriots. They'll do
(21:59):
everything they can to down DeAndre Hopkins. Bill Belichick saying
all the nice platitudes, that's fine. That means Kyler's gotta go.
Look to Hollywood Brown, even if it's just one streak
down the blurry down the middle, over the top. There
you go. Tye Hundley going up against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh generous
and the secondary Hundley, Hundley a guy that acquainted with
that Baltimore offense. Opportunity as a runner receiver. Here we
(22:22):
go there. Mac Jones on that Monday night game going
up against Arizona. Is it sexy? No, but it strikes
of an opportunity here, especially he Hunter Henry, who we
mentioned a little bit before, where we're talking about generous
opportunities in that secondary. And then finally, maybe I'm beating
the dram a little bit too heavily, but James Cook,
(22:45):
we've seen him coming on alongside Devin Singletary and that
Buffalo backfield. I think this is a spot where they
play a little smash mouth at times, and Cook is
the beneficiary of such a movement. All right, it's time
for Ryan Burr, Shinger and I to take control roll
of the wheel. Give you some advice this week. I'm
gonna give you a reason to start a guy. Steeler's
wide receiver, George Pickens. Uh was that the squeaky wheel
(23:08):
gets the oil, and Mike Tomlin addressed it, said, Hey,
George Pickens has got to figure out a little better
way to communicate that he wants the football. The great
news is is Tomlin wasn't mad at mad Adam for it,
saying that he'd rather tell tell a dog to to
heal than too sick. That he likes that George Pickens
wants the football, and I think that the Steelers will
(23:29):
make an effort to get him that football against the Ravens.
On the flip side of things, this one's a tough one.
I still believe in the Broncos defense. I may not
believe in their offense, but I believe in their defense.
And so Isaiah Pacheco has been decent for the Chiefs
as of late. But I think Kansas City, Kansas City
is gonna be relying more on Patrick Mahomes and his
(23:50):
arm against Denver than the run game. If Pacheco doesn't
get his touchdowns, the numbers aren't as great. So I'm
gonna give you that's the reason to bench Pachecos. They
still kind of believe in the Denver defense, even with
all the turmoil, even with the trade of Bradley Chubb,
even with those moves. That's why I like a reason
to bench Isaiah Pacheco. Now burst you get an opportunity
(24:13):
to give us your survivor picks of Week four team,
that's right. Well, if if you're still alive in the
survivor pool and you still somehow haven't used either the
Cowboys or the Chiefs, just jump on those and and
don't look back. Cowboys, of course against the Texans, Chiefs
against the Broncos. Those should be easy for those two teams.
If you're threading the needle a little bit. I would
take the Seahawks if you still the Seahawks against the Panthers. Yes,
(24:37):
of course, with Kenneth Walker banged up, hopefully he gets
to go. But even without him, the Seahawks offense has
been firing and the Panthers are are not very good.
I would think Titans could be available as well. Home
game against the Jaguars. UM and things honestly haven't been
great for Tennessee. And you fired John Robinson this week.
Maybe I don't know, firing the GM sparks the team,
(24:58):
but I think that could be another option to and
with Trevor Lawrence banged up too, I think there's good
opportunity there. And because life has been swirling lately, I
rarely do this, but I did miss last night's Survivor.
I will be watching it tonight. I know we're getting
down to the wire with the final seven. Uh. There
are a lot of advantages looming, and I'm guessing that
(25:20):
at least one of them makes an appearance. I'm hoping
because they've just been sitting in pockets for this entire season,
so hopefully we get to see some action here. Uh.
From what I understand, it is an action packed episode
and I'm looking forward to it. My lips are sealed,
all right, Harvon, Let's get into these three point conversions
four week fourteen. As we wrap this bad boy up?
(25:40):
What do you got? Uh? Tied together? League rules? Final
buys get the points of clarification before kickoff on Sunday. Yeah,
it's it's a tough time to try to ask for
those clarifications. But as Dan pointed out and Ryan chimed in, Uh,
there there's sometimes some uncertainty that you'd rather have that
than a heartache after the fact. And those fights that
(26:03):
break up a league, we don't want to have it happen. Uh.
The Cleveland had owned Joe Burrow in this history. Can
Deshaun Watson make a big play and show great resolve
and great improvement over his debut? We shall see, uh.
And then not so pretty up in the Bay Area.
I think this one is a you know, I'll take
(26:23):
the pun from you there, Dan, Uh. And then and
this is a game. The thirty seven and a half
is the total. Yeah, you can also get some rain. Uh.
Not not a guarantee, but but that could also play
into a thing. And a lot of sweatshirts sold up
in the Bay Area. I don't know if you guys
have ever been up there during uh, during this time
of year. You think it's nice during the day and
then it kicks you into teeth. I'll just tell you this.
(26:46):
At the All Star Game in San Francisco, what's what's
the old saying like the who was it? Was it
a Hemingway? Who was it that said? The coldest summer
they ever spent was a summer, and it was coldest
winter they ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Yes. Um,
they handed out a fleece vests at the All Star
Game in two thousand seven because it was so cold
to me and he was like, I'm going to California
(27:06):
and in July it should be awesome. It was freezing. Um.
So yeah, so I'm sure December about minutes south won't
be much better. I will. I will say this, there
are two options for points of Palooza. It's a heads
or tail. It's Vikings or Lions. Dolphins are Chargers. Mike
my Coin came up Dolphins Chargers points of Palooza. I'm
(27:27):
even thinking of playing where he mostert. That's how many
points that I think that could be played in that game.
While that could get really loosen, hairy and Southern California
on Sunday Night, I think they're gonna tighten things up.
I just mentioned I like the Titans as a survivor play.
I think the Titans get back on track and take
out the Jaguars. You love Derrick Henry this week, I
(27:49):
think there's absolute reason to and uh I I don't
want to jinx anything I'm saying, Oh gino, Seahawks are
banged up in the backfield. I think Carolina's defense is
is they are better than what is thought to what
they are. And I think you could see a little
uglier game in Seattle. So oh gino. For my other
(28:12):
three point conversion, a right number one with the Tennessee thing,
just just really quick, Jacksonville got anybody that can get
John Robinson fired again, because it's really that was one
of the strangest things ever. That trade didn't go well
when he came back and torches you're fired? Uh and
so one one rigs anymore? And how much do you
love d J Dallas or do you not love d
(28:34):
J Dallas. It's just he's he is limited and he
was hurt as well. You got Travis Homer dinged up,
Kenneth Walker. Obviously, Tony Jones could be a name that
could be out there, but he got knocked out. John
Alexandra Any, Warner, Derek Fenner, Chris Warner, Warren, Um, John Williams.
We could go we can go all day long. Ricky Waters,
(28:57):
he actually some really good running backs, so that's well done,
right there, got Kurt warnering, oh man, Chris Warren is
really good as well. He was for a time, all right.
So it's week fourteen. I hope we got our ducks
in a row when it comes to our leagues. If
you have any fantasy horror stories, you can always send
them to us. Get Ryan on Twitter at Ryan Burr Singer. Obviously,
(29:19):
you can get Mike on Twitter at Swollen Dumb and
find me on Twitter at Dan Buyer on Fox. Good
luck to you, good luck in your daily leagues, and
we will talk to you next week here on I
Watch your Flex
You want experience during your football season, well, buckle love,
sweet cheeks. We've got all the experience in the world.
This is I want your flex with Dan Buyer and
Mike Harman. Mike and Dan breakdown everything you need to
set your line ups from position rankings, two starts and sits.
(00:24):
The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now
let's get your flex on. Here's Dan Buyer and Mike Harman.
Get Mike on Twitter at Swallen Dome. You can find
me on Twitter at Dan Buyer on Fox. Our executive producers,
Ryan bur Shringer, you can find him on Twitter at
Ryan burr shing Er. Mike, we have hit the home stretch.
(00:45):
Could be final week of some regular seasons, the next
to last week of the regular season for other leagues,
but the end is near. In a lot to clean
up as we are about to enter the playoffs. Yeah,
I mean, even if you're out, you play that roster
the last line and your last moment of glory for
(01:05):
the fantasy season could be to screw up somebody else's
playoff ambitions tiebreakers, uh and send them to uh well,
fantasy hell, because they'll think of all the roster moves
they should have made while sitting around watching other people
open presence. The other part about it is you can
try to avoid maybe that awful league punishment for finishing
in last place, So that is also on the line,
(01:28):
I'm sure for people this week. But there's there's something
else with within this. And this is what I love
about doing this podcast is it's not just names and numbers,
and we'll get Mike's rankings coming up in just a
couple of minutes, but I do want to throw out
a scenario that I think a lot of people are
are facing, and that's tiebreakers. When you went to the
regular season of your league, it is imperative to have
(01:51):
your tiebreaker set so your league members understand what's at stake.
And I'll give you a scenario in a league down
I'm in, I wanted to find out because I'm not
the commissioner of that league. Someone else is, and there's
a scenario where in a matchup, I need one team
to win and the other teams lose. Because I thought
to myself, hey, I've got a head to head matchup
(02:14):
against this guy, and if he and I end up
having the same records, he's the one that I need
to lose, so in case I lose, I have the tiebreaker.
So I text our commission, Hey, what's the deal with
the tiebreakers? And I goes it head to head? Is
it points? What is it? And he writes back, he goes,
points as it should be? And I don't know if
(02:35):
I agree with that, Mike. Why My whole point is this,
points are Obviously you're taking everything out of the equation
unlucky week because you played the guy with the highest
amount of points that week. Maybe you did it four
four weeks straight. I get that, But there's a reason
we play games, and if you have a head to
(02:56):
head win over someone or two wins or wept them,
that should take precedent. In my longtime league, we do
have head to head. I found it almost appalling that
he said points as it should be, Like it's like
this is the way that all fantasy leagues should be run,
(03:16):
because my counter to that is why have the games?
So where do you stand when it comes to tiebreakers
entering a fantasy football regular season? Well, I certainly don't
think that the well this is the way it should
be to be all to end all, like you're the
grand Emperor of things. Uh is the way to go.
So I'll make sure to send him a text and
(03:38):
mock him for that. Uh kind of uh buffoon. But
I mean I I see the point to a degree
and that you were if you're scoring at a high rate.
I mean I once went went over a regular season.
It was improbable I had the third most points scored
in the league. I just happened to hit a buzz
saw every hymn week. Uh. And that's just the way
(04:01):
it goes. But for tiebreaker purposes, I could see the
argument of, hey, you scored a lot of points and
you move forward. So there's two things I would say
that this number one, the lead constitution needs to be
where everybody can find it, and it needs to be
laid out in a way that there's no vagaries, uncertainties, etcetera.
That's part one. Uh. The other part being, Yeah, you
(04:22):
play the games for a reason, and that's where while
I understand the points total, but at the at the
end of the cycle, isn't that the way the whole NFL,
college football and all competitions work. Some days your best
just isn't good enough, and that's the way it roles.
So if the head to head you lose, lose to
(04:43):
these other teams, Yeah, you lose the tiebreaker. I don't
see why, because you scored points that that automatically becomes
the way it has to be. And I think that's foolhardy.
I think you play the schedule and unfortunately sometimes you
run into that buzz saw that take down first do
you want to win in on this, I'll take the
(05:04):
opposite side. I think it should be total points, um.
And that's because there's way too much variance when it
comes to weekly matchups. And for example, in my main league,
I I'm fighting for the last playoff spot and I'm
a game back of two teams. One of those teams
I beat, the other I lost too, but both of
(05:25):
them I have. I have nearly two hundred more points
than the guy that I lost to that's ahead of me.
I have almost a hundred more than the other guy.
Uh So I'm still fighting for that playoff spot. And
quite frankly, when you're looking at the overall picture, it's
about having the best teams in the playoffs when you can. Uh,
the total points are the best indication of the best
(05:48):
teams in the league. Um. Look, I get it, of course,
when you're playing in a head to head league and
not a best ball league. I understand where the logic
is in terms of using head to head because that
is what ultimately matters in the standings. But when it
comes to roster construction, when it comes to the overall
season and the way in which you've operated your team
throughout the season, the overall points that you've scored is
(06:11):
the best representation of how you've performed throughout the season. Now,
of course, yeah, I again, I get it, like, that's
what a best ball league is. That's not what a
head to head league is. Um, But I do think
that it is more fair to opt for the overall
points in that manner because quite frankly, matchups are random,
(06:33):
the schedule is random. There's tons of variants in terms
of like what could happen in terms of you play
guys with guys on buy, you, you have an injury,
there's a lot of different things. I get. I I
understand where you guys are coming from. But I will
take the side of the fact that when you look
at it's very frustrating to be one of the top
(06:55):
scoring teams in the league and not in the playoffs.
So uh, when you're when you're fighting for that last
playoff spot. It keeps these other teams in it at
the end of the s at the end of the season,
and then it's I I just think it's more fair
to opt for the total points. The fairness part when
you talk about all the variants or that the things
(07:17):
that can be random, is just kind of the part
that that I go back to. I was like, there's
a flip side of it, like to to Burshes point,
the team that is down two hundred points may have
an advantage over bursting or if that if that was
the scenaria, I can't remember the exact scenario that you
(07:37):
played out, but now you have allowed this other team
to at least continue to play and be active in
in the league and continue to have a shot. And
I think that that's just as much about it, Like
why play the games if it's just going to be
a points competition. We had a guy in our one
of our leagues that that wanted to do that, and
I just, you know, like, no, thanks. Each week, I
don't want to find out if I finished fourth or
(08:00):
sixth and then at the end of the year maybe
finished like that. That doesn't appeal. To me, what's fun
is finding out that on Monday Night football, he's got
Alvin Kamara and I've got Mike Evans and we're going
head to head and this game means something. And that's
to me what it's all about. No, it's it's it's
not perfect, but it does add the element and why
(08:22):
I think that you need to play games. There are
certain games on a schedule that are more important in
the NFL than others, and I think that should be
the way in fantasy football. And because you had to
buy that week, or maybe your player wasn't concussion protocol,
that all comes with it. But if you're able to
get that advantage over that other person for that tiebreaker,
that's what I think the leagues are all about. That's
(08:43):
why I think that is so important. I'll take it
into the guillotine, which again goes to you know, roster settingment,
not head to head like a team that was just chopped.
Lamar Jackson leaves the game early. He by far had
the most points per game all year long. Oh sorry,
you're done because you had the one bad week. Variance
(09:05):
is part of the game week to week battles and
and you know what just my and it's not being
glibbed to you, burseuch tony. The argument to a degree is, um,
life's not fair, and this this is what keeps you
coming back because there are the imperfections of all of
this that you you've managed what you thought was a
perfect season, and unfortunately sometimes things don't go your way.
(09:29):
It's a nice metaphor for life. So I tell my
kids all the time, you could do everything that on
your side the right way, doesn't mean you're gonna win
in a competition, in a classroom, in dealing with your
idiot friends over group projects, and all of it happens, uh,
and you have to, you know, sometimes be angry about
it and just say I'll always run because it's about
(09:49):
a story, right, If you get left out, then if
you get in in't it? Yes? Yes, the story the
story rative that lead answered because I had more total
points than the other No, nobody cares about that. It's
remember the year when I didn't make the freaking playoffs
and I had like five hundred more points and everybody
that was absolute bs. That is what fantasy football is
(10:11):
all about. And uh, all right, so storytime, anger vitriol.
I've never playing this damn game again, all of those
things only to say when does sign up? Speak? First?
You play fantasy football to get screwed over, don't you
understand this? Like there's there is no fairness. The NFL
(10:32):
even realized and said let's give six teams buyes in
Week fourteen, So like they're they're even in on the gig.
That's what that's what this is all about. I play
fantasy football to use my career in a way where
I can take money from my brands. That's why there's
my guy. How many here's a true question, honest question,
(10:54):
percentage wise in your league's and then we'll get to
Mike's rankings and get this percentage in your leagu burst.
You can go first, Horny can go second. How many
guys actually care about the money? Would you say? Um?
On average? And depending on the league, I think, um, yeah,
maybe half. I guess it depends on how much money
(11:15):
there is, and it depends on how engaged they are. Um.
But I think in the in the bigger money leagues
have to even even some of the guys who like
don't like you know what, Yeah, I guess I guess
they don't because there are guys who don't like playing
and know that they're bad, and know that they lose money,
and they complain about losing money every season, but they
(11:35):
do continue to play. Yea, So harmon, I'd say it's zero.
It's all about blanking over the other guys because I mean,
like I'll be honest, everything that I'm playing, Um, all
the friends leagues got torn asunder. I got disinvited once
I started doing all this stuff for a living in
a couple of them, which I don't think anybody understands.
(11:56):
The more you watch, the more paralyzed and uh, you
see things and ghosts that aren't there. You feel like
Sam Donald at times, old reference, I know, but it works.
But it's it's the idea that, all right, I can
beat you. That's why no trades happen in a lot
of these leagues, you know, because you don't want to
be the guy being made fun of at the next
draft going thanks for giving me the league, Jack, you
(12:18):
know that whole thing. So it's it's all the prideful
and peacocking element of it, more than a couple of
bucks that are out there, all right, and none of
that stuff. Let's get to the rankings. Mike your top
five plays at the quarterback, running back, and wide receiver positions.
Four Week fourteen. Let's start with the signal callers one
(12:39):
through five. I gotta say it's a curious week with
some of these matchups where we might be UH pushing
some of the usual suspects down a bit, not enough
to knock them out, but enough to just say, well,
all right, so Jalen Hurt's going up against the Giants, Fine,
set it, forget it, move on to a tongue of volo.
Going up against the Charges is a curious one. But
the Chargers don't run away and hide from anybody. And
(13:00):
last week two I did have some opportunities against the
forty niners uh timing off and that's what disruptive fronts
will do for you. But here we've watched the Chargers
and as much as they're still in it, they feel
like they're really far out of it. Does that make sense?
Sunday Night Football to and company get to shine. Dak
Prescott going up against Houston. The only question here is
(13:21):
with that seven teen point number, if they take care
of business, is he on the sideline sip and tea
uh to start the second half, or is he just
hiding in the giant kettle. I don't know. Uh. Number
four Patrick Mahomes going up against Denver. Yeah, Denver's defense
has been fantastic, and this is a spot where maybe
it's a little bit of a cautionary tale, but still
makes the top five. And then Josh Allen going up
(13:43):
against New York. New York Football Jets are Jason Smith's Jets.
I just use it as a collective. York felt like
for a couple of weeks the nation kind of got
behind them because it was a lot of chaos at quarterback,
some bravado in Sauce Gardner, and they were just good
enough to be a nuisance going everybody thought they were
(14:04):
going to be trash. Uh. And now still in the
playoff picture, but the Buffalo Bills are a ten point favorite.
I think Allan still makes hey, but this one's uh,
this one's gonna require some extra finesse. I think your
point about Dac and not only hiding in the salvation
army kettle in the second half, but it's if they
get up like the Dolphins did against the Texans. You know,
(14:26):
if you're up thirty to nothing, what does that mean
for everybody? Else. What does that mean for Pollard? Does
it mean for Zeke? What does it mean for Ceedee
Lamb and Dalton Schultz and then obviously Dak Prescott who
you mentioned Texans going back to Davis Mills, I don't
know how much of a difference that's going to be.
I was so high on him, Dan Hi. I know
a lot of people were. He leads to the NFL
(14:48):
and neck, So that's why you wouldn't be high. Yes,
but you know, maybe maybe can you make that into
a stat category? What does any what kind of acroma
him can we make of that? Yeah? Yeah, so I
I just that would be the only thing with the
Cowboys because I've I've got a couple of them that
I'm playing in Week four teen that you just in
(15:08):
that first ninety minutes, I think is when you gotta
make your hey, because I'm just not sure on how
competitive the Texans are going to be. All Right, those
are your top five quarterbacks. Let's get to the top
five running backs for Week four teen. Derrick Henry against Jacksonville.
We know the history uh running a muck once again.
I do have Romandre Stevenson all the way up at
number two, going up against Arizona, New England, a slight
(15:31):
favorite in that one Monday night football Bill Belichick all
everybody kind of whispering and and wondering what happens going forward,
Brady Talk, etcetera. Now it's all fun and games. We
saw a few weeks of the regular season to iron out,
and this guy has been playing really well. Uh. Dalvin
Cook going up against Detroit, Tony Pollard against Houston again,
(15:51):
that giant asterisk is sitting out there. How much Malik
Davis do we get to see in the second half?
There you go. There, there's a name if you really
want to add a dollar to your deadly fantasy play. Uh.
And then finally Austin Ekeler going against Miami. It's not
always pretty, but the final numbers have been their weekend
week out. Those are your top five running backs for
(16:12):
the upcoming week. A lot of familiar names making it
and that Vikings Lions game with Devin Cook at number three,
Lions the favorite, even though the Vikings come in with
their tenant to record, and there's there's a lot of
history on the line where like the Vikings win percentage
is greater than what the they have there in the
(16:34):
win percentage the Vikings, uh have about fifty even though
the Lions are favored in scenarios like this. We got
a number from from the people at Fox pat saying
that teams that like the Vikings in the scenario have
never won this game. They've never covered, so we could
see history change in week fourteen. All right, let's go
(16:56):
to the wide receiver's top five pass catchers for week
four team. All right, a lot of the usual suspects,
but jumbled once again in a new surprise entrance based
on matchup opportunity. Let's get it start as Tyreek Hill
going up against the Charges. Okay, uh, this is one
expecting points. We look at the over under fifty one
and a half, one of your highest totals of the week.
My guy a'man ras St Brown, and I do this
(17:18):
because most leagues at least have the half PPR, if
not full. And he's just been a beast and this
is an opportunity in another one of the expected high
scoring games, home favorites against the Minnesota Vikings. Again, folks
trying to make sense of that. Vegas um merchants putting
out full books to explain how this works and how
betting works fifty two. You're total in that one. I'm
(17:42):
gonna go with Stefon Diggs going against the New York
Football Jets. You want to challenge, He'll take your challenge
and he'll dunk on you all the way through. Now
before Justin Jefferson going against Detroit. Remember this was a
matchup that wasn't terribly kind to him early on in
the season. We'll see if the Detroit secondary is up
to the task. Uh as we roll in, and then
we look at d K Metcalf going up against Carolina
(18:04):
forty four. The total run games all banged up, means
more geno through the air. All right, there are your
top five quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers four Week fourteen.
Now we do the other thing where we tell you
the hot plays and cold source and ninja's for the
upcoming week. Mike core your hot plays. Guys, you gotta
get into your lineup that aren't in the top five
for Week fourteen. Start with the Signal College Gino going
(18:25):
up against Carolina. The running games banged up, but Metcalf
and lock It are ready to go. DK made my
top five wide receivers. So looking for the answer through
the air, Kirk Cousins going up against Detroit. High scoring
game is expected between Jefferson theland Osborne on the wings
of Love and Dalvin Cook and Alexander Madison. Yeah, you
could sing the song Lynn Manuel Miranda might come get
(18:47):
me if I do. Uh. So, opportunities there, Zeke against
Houston again, Operation sit down? Is there? Maybe some more whackable?
I mean until for a good cause Ottavious Murray going
up against the can the City Chiefs. I don't trust
anything else really in this game, a whole way on
the Denver side. But let's get the run game involved.
Uh And then we look at DeVante Smith from Philadelphia
(19:09):
going up against the Giants. They'll do everything they can
and sell out to try to slow down A. J. Brown,
which means more opportunity for Smith who's coming on here late.
And then Jerry Judy, Yes, we'll go back to the
well in Denver. I'm not expecting a grandiose point total,
but yards and moving the ball between the twenties might
(19:30):
be able to be done against this k C secondary.
All right, let's set up the cold source. Guys you
don't want to touch see anything to do with coming
here In Week fourteen, cold source for the week, going
big game hunting, starting at the wide receiver position. Deebo
saying we're going up against Tampa Bay. Spread the ball
around brock Purty, I have a giant question mark because
he goes up against tough Tampa Bay. D still top ten.
(19:52):
For all we've talked about, Uh, the the offense and
struggles defense still getting it done most weeks. UM Brady
and company always in striking distance. Uh. Now we got
Gabe David's going up against the Jets. Have Stefon Diggs
matchup proof going up against uh, the Jets. On the
other side, he was in the top five, but it's
(20:12):
forty three and a half total, and Gabe Davis is
a guy that might end up becoming more decay decoy
kind of. I got DK metcalf In earlier in the
top five. He's still on the brain, but decoy like
in this one as the Jets still playing with a
lot of pride and heart. That past defense has been fantastic.
Davis more a w R three for me this week.
(20:35):
Go back to that Bay Area matchup. Brady coming home, Yeah,
I know that to eighty one and two. Big fantastic
fourth quarter comeback do you want to sweat that out
in the final week of the regular season. No, no,
I don't think you do. So he's on the pines
for this week. You can just ride this one out
and see what happens. Nag Harris banged up a bit
(20:55):
once again going up against the Baltimore front. I want
no part of it. I don't believe this except as
a back end number two Zonovan Night. Going back to
that Jets Buffalo matchup, you got reinforcements coming into the
running back room. And while he may still have a
good workload and Solis saying all the right thing, a
(21:15):
little bit nervousness there, and then the other cautionary tail
back to the Bay Area McCaffrey, what does he do
with those touches this time around? Can he find the
big play or are you dependent on just a high
PPR level? Interesting list always with the Gold soars. Finally, Mike,
who do you got for the Ninjas in Week fourteen? Carolina?
Look at frisky d J. Moore tops ore Ninja board
(21:37):
going up against Seattle. Secondary opportunities abound. Just throw it up.
Let him make plays as we flow coming out of
the bye week, maybe they'll have a little more connectivity,
a little more cohesion there for Sam Donald Number two,
Hollywood Brown, welcome back again, team coming off the bye week,
Monday Night football against the New England Patriots. They'll do
(21:59):
everything they can to down DeAndre Hopkins. Bill Belichick saying
all the nice platitudes, that's fine. That means Kyler's gotta go.
Look to Hollywood Brown, even if it's just one streak
down the blurry down the middle, over the top. There
you go. Tye Hundley going up against Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh generous
and the secondary Hundley, Hundley a guy that acquainted with
that Baltimore offense. Opportunity as a runner receiver. Here we
(22:22):
go there. Mac Jones on that Monday night game going
up against Arizona. Is it sexy? No, but it strikes
of an opportunity here, especially he Hunter Henry, who we
mentioned a little bit before, where we're talking about generous
opportunities in that secondary. And then finally, maybe I'm beating
the dram a little bit too heavily, but James Cook,
(22:45):
we've seen him coming on alongside Devin Singletary and that
Buffalo backfield. I think this is a spot where they
play a little smash mouth at times, and Cook is
the beneficiary of such a movement. All right, it's time
for Ryan Burr, Shinger and I to take control roll
of the wheel. Give you some advice this week. I'm
gonna give you a reason to start a guy. Steeler's
wide receiver, George Pickens. Uh was that the squeaky wheel
(23:08):
gets the oil, and Mike Tomlin addressed it, said, Hey,
George Pickens has got to figure out a little better
way to communicate that he wants the football. The great
news is is Tomlin wasn't mad at mad Adam for it,
saying that he'd rather tell tell a dog to to
heal than too sick. That he likes that George Pickens
wants the football, and I think that the Steelers will
(23:29):
make an effort to get him that football against the Ravens.
On the flip side of things, this one's a tough one.
I still believe in the Broncos defense. I may not
believe in their offense, but I believe in their defense.
And so Isaiah Pacheco has been decent for the Chiefs
as of late. But I think Kansas City, Kansas City
is gonna be relying more on Patrick Mahomes and his
(23:50):
arm against Denver than the run game. If Pacheco doesn't
get his touchdowns, the numbers aren't as great. So I'm
gonna give you that's the reason to bench Pachecos. They
still kind of believe in the Denver defense, even with
all the turmoil, even with the trade of Bradley Chubb,
even with those moves. That's why I like a reason
to bench Isaiah Pacheco. Now burst you get an opportunity
(24:13):
to give us your survivor picks of Week four team,
that's right. Well, if if you're still alive in the
survivor pool and you still somehow haven't used either the
Cowboys or the Chiefs, just jump on those and and
don't look back. Cowboys, of course against the Texans, Chiefs
against the Broncos. Those should be easy for those two teams.
If you're threading the needle a little bit. I would
take the Seahawks if you still the Seahawks against the Panthers. Yes,
(24:37):
of course, with Kenneth Walker banged up, hopefully he gets
to go. But even without him, the Seahawks offense has
been firing and the Panthers are are not very good.
I would think Titans could be available as well. Home
game against the Jaguars. UM and things honestly haven't been
great for Tennessee. And you fired John Robinson this week.
Maybe I don't know, firing the GM sparks the team,
(24:58):
but I think that could be another option to and
with Trevor Lawrence banged up too, I think there's good
opportunity there. And because life has been swirling lately, I
rarely do this, but I did miss last night's Survivor.
I will be watching it tonight. I know we're getting
down to the wire with the final seven. Uh. There
are a lot of advantages looming, and I'm guessing that
(25:20):
at least one of them makes an appearance. I'm hoping
because they've just been sitting in pockets for this entire season,
so hopefully we get to see some action here. Uh.
From what I understand, it is an action packed episode
and I'm looking forward to it. My lips are sealed,
all right, Harvon, Let's get into these three point conversions
four week fourteen. As we wrap this bad boy up?
(25:40):
What do you got? Uh? Tied together? League rules? Final
buys get the points of clarification before kickoff on Sunday. Yeah,
it's it's a tough time to try to ask for
those clarifications. But as Dan pointed out and Ryan chimed in, Uh,
there there's sometimes some uncertainty that you'd rather have that
than a heartache after the fact. And those fights that
(26:03):
break up a league, we don't want to have it happen. Uh.
The Cleveland had owned Joe Burrow in this history. Can
Deshaun Watson make a big play and show great resolve
and great improvement over his debut? We shall see, uh.
And then not so pretty up in the Bay Area.
I think this one is a you know, I'll take
(26:23):
the pun from you there, Dan, Uh. And then and
this is a game. The thirty seven and a half
is the total. Yeah, you can also get some rain. Uh.
Not not a guarantee, but but that could also play
into a thing. And a lot of sweatshirts sold up
in the Bay Area. I don't know if you guys
have ever been up there during uh, during this time
of year. You think it's nice during the day and
then it kicks you into teeth. I'll just tell you this.
(26:46):
At the All Star Game in San Francisco, what's what's
the old saying like the who was it? Was it
a Hemingway? Who was it that said? The coldest summer
they ever spent was a summer, and it was coldest
winter they ever spent was a summer in San Francisco. Yes. Um,
they handed out a fleece vests at the All Star
Game in two thousand seven because it was so cold
to me and he was like, I'm going to California
(27:06):
and in July it should be awesome. It was freezing. Um.
So yeah, so I'm sure December about minutes south won't
be much better. I will. I will say this, there
are two options for points of Palooza. It's a heads
or tail. It's Vikings or Lions. Dolphins are Chargers. Mike
my Coin came up Dolphins Chargers points of Palooza. I'm
(27:27):
even thinking of playing where he mostert. That's how many
points that I think that could be played in that game.
While that could get really loosen, hairy and Southern California
on Sunday Night, I think they're gonna tighten things up.
I just mentioned I like the Titans as a survivor play.
I think the Titans get back on track and take
out the Jaguars. You love Derrick Henry this week, I
(27:49):
think there's absolute reason to and uh I I don't
want to jinx anything I'm saying, Oh gino, Seahawks are
banged up in the backfield. I think Carolina's defense is
is they are better than what is thought to what
they are. And I think you could see a little
uglier game in Seattle. So oh gino. For my other
(28:12):
three point conversion, a right number one with the Tennessee thing,
just just really quick, Jacksonville got anybody that can get
John Robinson fired again, because it's really that was one
of the strangest things ever. That trade didn't go well
when he came back and torches you're fired? Uh and
so one one rigs anymore? And how much do you
love d J Dallas or do you not love d
(28:34):
J Dallas. It's just he's he is limited and he
was hurt as well. You got Travis Homer dinged up,
Kenneth Walker. Obviously, Tony Jones could be a name that
could be out there, but he got knocked out. John
Alexandra Any, Warner, Derek Fenner, Chris Warner, Warren, Um, John Williams.
We could go we can go all day long. Ricky Waters,
(28:57):
he actually some really good running backs, so that's well done,
right there, got Kurt warnering, oh man, Chris Warren is
really good as well. He was for a time, all right.
So it's week fourteen. I hope we got our ducks
in a row when it comes to our leagues. If
you have any fantasy horror stories, you can always send
them to us. Get Ryan on Twitter at Ryan Burr Singer. Obviously,
(29:19):
you can get Mike on Twitter at Swollen Dumb and
find me on Twitter at Dan Buyer on Fox. Good
luck to you, good luck in your daily leagues, and
we will talk to you next week here on I
