Speaker 1 (00:00):
Woo. Waiver claims.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Have to be made, and I've got trade proposals flying
my way. My first round pig turn out to be
a big flop. I don't know which wide receiver I
(00:24):
need to drive, Doctor Roto give me the news. I
really don't know what I should do. My quarterback keeps
getting sacked. I've got a bad case of fair deceive.
Speaker 1 (00:41):
Blues with It is the final and fastest thirty minutes
of major market radio for the one the only Doctor
Roto here on Sports Talks having any good doctor. Happy
Holidays to you and the family. Most importantly, we might
have like nine listeners because it's Christmas Eve and people
are not shopping or actually spending quality family time. So
(01:04):
I'm going to take the first ten minutes of and
just talking about my fantasy football team. Are you okay
with that?
Speaker 3 (01:08):
Yeah? Did you make the finals?
Speaker 1 (01:10):
I did? All right? Wow? So here we go.
Speaker 3 (01:14):
When was the last Houston Toro championship? Empty?
Speaker 1 (01:17):
That was about three years ago? And your lives Oh
when you made the championship? So he's never won it?
Shut up.
Speaker 3 (01:25):
We're definitely got to get you to victory.
Speaker 1 (01:28):
Had a fifty point game in the week seventeen or sixteen,
whatever it was, and I lost that game because Jamar
Chase went ballistic. All right, here we go, Drake May.
No issue? Correct, yes, no issue whatsoever? And actually here
Gibbs one second.
Speaker 4 (01:44):
Going to be a really good game for May because
a lot of those Patriot receivers Diggs, Collins, Henry all
have huge incentives. So if these guys catch passes, they're
getting paid. They are throwing empty.
Speaker 1 (01:59):
Yeah, yes, Jamiir Gibbs, no issues, correct, no issues, Devon
a Chen.
Speaker 3 (02:08):
Please, no issues.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
I mean it's a little slight issues because the bucks
are are decent and viewers didn't throw to him a ton.
Speaker 3 (02:13):
But we're starting him. We love him, We're playing.
Speaker 1 (02:15):
Him, all right, Keenan Allen, I'm not going to play
did not practice yesterday. But he is nothing more than
about the fifth target for Herbert, so I'm not worried
about that.
Speaker 3 (02:23):
Okay, Yeah, we're getting locked in that lineup.
Speaker 1 (02:26):
I'm going t Higgins, I'm going Zay Flowers, Okay, with
more guys, of course, there's more Dallas s Gooddard might
tie end over Kelsey yes or no?
Speaker 3 (02:43):
Yes, yes for sure.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
R J. Harvey is my flex Yes or no.
Speaker 4 (02:49):
Oh, yeah, for sure. They the Broncos need this game
and want this game. Harvey's look great.
Speaker 1 (02:54):
All right, my two defense I can choose.
Speaker 4 (02:56):
Wait wait, hold on, do you have another receiver option
besides Za Flowers?
Speaker 1 (03:00):
I have Keenan Allen and Jerry Judy.
Speaker 4 (03:06):
I guess we're going Zay Flowers. But just know there's
a chance. Lamar is like fifty to fifty right now.
Speaker 3 (03:11):
But I think he plays. But you know we got
to play.
Speaker 1 (03:14):
Za Okay Judy, I can't. I don't trust him. Yeah,
all right, now here comes the dicey part a little bit. No.
The only thing I'm really worried about Chargers defense against
amid Houston Texans offense, or I can go Packers at
home against Baltimore on defense? What do you think?
Speaker 4 (03:37):
I think I like the Chargers because I can't imagine
that the Texans aren't going to let up like three sacks.
So if you get three sacks, maybe you get a fumble,
maybe get a pick. It's not going to be generational.
Can you make any ads or drops?
Speaker 1 (03:50):
I could, of course. Is there a defense out there
I should go grab?
Speaker 4 (03:54):
I mean, I don't know who's out there in your league,
But I mean the Saints play the Titans.
Speaker 3 (03:59):
That's that's an interesting one.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
Saints and Giants are both available.
Speaker 4 (04:04):
The Giants are interesting. The Giants against the Raiders. Raiders
offensive line is bad, really bad. I'm okay with the Giants.
What I would do is I would drop the Packers,
pick up the Giants, and then stew on the Chargers
Giants Giants Charger game, I mean Giants Raider game. Loser
gets the number one pick in the draft.
Speaker 1 (04:22):
Okay, I don't. I just did it, Giants, I just
did it. I just picked up the New York Giants defense.
All right, I'm going to probably okay, shut up, this
is this is important stuff here. I'm giving information out there.
You'all be quiet. I'm going to text you about Chargers
or Giants, and we're gonna have this conversation Sunday morning.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
Yeah, okay, you got it there, Well, run the algorithm.
Speaker 1 (04:49):
Last thing Saturday. Last thing I got ric O'Donnell and
Travis Kelcey both on my bench. That's correct, right, compared
to what I have. Also, what else is out there?
Speaker 3 (05:00):
Kelsey can't play? Kelsey can't play?
Speaker 4 (05:02):
Yeah, I mean got a guy who's uh, basically a
third stringer in there. I'm literally playing that guy because
in one of my leagues, I'm down to Josh Johnson
or Ola Kadoon. I mean, this is brutal, but yeah,
we can't play Chelsea, we can't play Kelsey.
Speaker 1 (05:15):
And Ricodond mixed as you talked about last week.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
Yeah, not over Harvey, not over Ehen, not over Gibs.
So okay, look at you.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
You got a real shot MT.
Speaker 1 (05:28):
Do you know how insufferable I'll be if I win this?
By the way, this is why he can't win. What
we love. That's why we love Doctor Rodols the best squad.
He should win, Yeah, but couldn't.
Speaker 3 (05:43):
Should have giving you props.
Speaker 1 (05:46):
Yeah, I think he's doing is he's trying to. He's
I think you should win. You have the best squad.
All right, Uh, let's get to uh what's turned out
to be a pretty lousy slate of Christmas Day games.
I'm going against Zak Prescott. How will Dallas do against
the Commanders on Thursday?
Speaker 4 (06:04):
Pretty darn good. I mean, Dak to Lamb feels like
it's going to be a winner. I don't Thinkdak gets
about two hundred and fifty yards, probably gets about two touchdowns.
Speaker 3 (06:13):
You know you can run onto the Commanders.
Speaker 4 (06:15):
The big problem here is this, we need you need
Josh Johnson not to suck because if they just get
blown out and now all of a sudden, Dak is
putting up, you know, it's thirty five points, that could
get ugly. So we just need Washington to be able
to sustain some drives. But I like Dak, I like Lamb.
I think I like Jake Ferguson. I think he goes
(06:36):
this is not a Pickens week. Last week was the Pickens,
you know, rehabilitation week. I like McLaurin and Deebo. Samuel
has incentives in his contract too. I think they're gonna
try to get him the football.
Speaker 1 (06:47):
All right. Detroit is this prolific offense, yet they still
lose games. They've got a slimmer a slim I should say,
a slim chance of making the playoffs. How will they
do against Minnesota in Minneapolis, Well, they're gonna rush then.
Speaker 4 (07:00):
I mean, Max Brosner is not a real NFL quarterback.
That's a mess. Justin Jefferson has incentives. They want him
to do well, but it's gonna be really hard. Gibbs
is a great, great play. I mean, Saint Brown is fine.
Speaker 3 (07:12):
I would keep it tight in this game.
Speaker 4 (07:13):
I keep it Golf, I keep it Saint Brown, Jamison,
Williams and Gibbs just like that. On the other side,
I'd make it justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones,
I think Vegas has him about seventy three and a
half yards because Jordan Mason's not even going to be there.
So I think those are the only two vikings you
play with any confidence.
Speaker 1 (07:30):
All right, if you are playing a championship weekend or
consolation round seven to one three two one two five seven,
ninety seven to one three two one two five seven
ninety last, probably the best of the weekend games will
be Houston at the Los Angeles Chargers. That Sunday night
games when Chicago San Francis is gonna be awesome too.
But let's get to the Texans. How the look the
(07:51):
Chargers were scoring at ease against Dallas's defense, that they're
atrocious Texans defense. Much better? Who's sitting who he was playing?
Between the Chargers and Texans Saturday night and here in LA.
Speaker 3 (08:04):
It should be a really great game. They really should
be a great game.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
I think the difference, though, is that Dallas really didn't
pressure Herbert. He was able to run at will, he
was throwing the ball deep. He won't be able to
do any of those things against the Texans, right, and
the Texans just need one win, one win to get
the job done. So I think Herbert's gonna struggle. I
gotta be honest with you. I think Herbert's gonna struggle.
I think there's a defensive game. I agree with you.
(08:29):
I don't want Keenan Allen. I mean, Hampton's not a
great start, Herbert's not a great start. Lad's not a
great start. These are all guys who should probably get
you the lower range of their fantasy points. So maybe
Lad McConkie's getting you ten, maybe Hampton's getting eight to twelve.
I don't think you're winning with any Chargers. On the
other side, I don't know if you're winning with any
(08:49):
Texans either. I mean, Estroud gonna throw up twenty points
against the Chargers defense, I don't think so. Maybe Woody
Marks is interesting if he plays. Nico Collins is the
one guy I probably would play with any sort of confidence.
I think this is a game you don't want to
have many of your players in because it's just not
going to end well. These teams are too good defensively,
and I think you see a game in the very
(09:11):
low twenties.
Speaker 1 (09:12):
And lastly, the Niners looked awesome at Indianapolis, scoring at
ease O. Will they do it against Chicago Sunday night?
Speaker 3 (09:21):
They will.
Speaker 4 (09:21):
So the Bears have a lot of flaws, and to
be honest with you, the Bears have been very lucky
this year.
Speaker 3 (09:26):
And I don't want to say.
Speaker 4 (09:27):
Look, sometimes it's being good and sometimes it's lucky. There
have been games that the Bears have won that they
shouldn't have won. I mean, even that Packer game. Crazy
things have happened. Not going to happen this week against
San Francisco. First of all, San Francisco is going to
throw the ball deep, and that's where the Bears can
be beaten. Whether it's Ricky piersolij Won Jennings, DeMarcus Robinson,
Brock Purty looked great. Christian McCaffrey is a great start.
(09:49):
The Bears have been okay against the run, but McCaffrey
still should get about twenty fantasy points. This game is
really about George Kittle. You know, George how healthy is he.
Hopefully he's out there. If not, Jake Tungus is definitely
somebody if we remember him earlier in the season.
Speaker 3 (10:04):
He's been really good.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
On the other side of the football, Swift is in play,
Monan guy's in play. Caleb Williams did a really good
job at the end of that game, but for the
first three quarters he was super super mid right. I
mean he didn't have a touchdown pass it's like one
hundred and forty yards, but he's very mobile, right. Caleb
Williams keeps plays alive with his legs, so he may
(10:26):
have one touchdown. But if a Doomsay's out and Burden's out,
I think this is a mess of a game for
the Bears. I really like the San Francisco
Woo. Waiver claims.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Have to be made, and I've got trade proposals flying
