Speaker 1 (00:00):
Dan Klaskins is with us. Joins us every single week
to talk fantasy football, host of Fantastics Insider Football on
Sirius xm Antasy you can fantasy. You can follow him
on Twitter slash x at Dan Klaskins and he's with us. Now,
what's up.
Speaker 2 (00:19):
O. Happy Thursday to you, brother.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
Happy final week of the regular season to you and
others who are not playing out the string unlike myself,
which is exactly what I'm doing. But nonetheless, that doesn't
mean that we don't have our friends who are headed
to the postseason in mind.
Speaker 2 (00:36):
Yes, yes, and you know what psa announcement right there
if you are out of it, but the league's still
playing regular season games this week. Still set your lineup? Yeah,
people need those eleven seeds to pull off the upsets,
perhaps for their playoff chances, but this is definitely the
time to start playing in for some playoff success. And
I think it starts with how you build your best
(00:57):
bets right by weeks. They'll be over after this week.
Only focus on winning right now, not stashing early in
the season. You want to stats those players late, but
now it's who can help me win this week? Maybe
a little bit as you look ahead and you want
to back up your studs, get those backup running backs
to your starting running backs, and definitely want to be
smart with dropping players too, because at this time of year,
(01:17):
you don't want to just drop somebody that's going to
become really valuable for other teams, especially playoff teams. And
when you get into that, especially as you start to
know who your opponents are, sometimes you can play keep away.
If I know your quarterback sucks and I've got some
spots on my bench, I could try to beat you
to the waiver wire so you don't end up getting
the quarterback that could beat me. And then, obviously the
two most important factors here is it's December. Hey, look outside.
(01:41):
You need to watch the weather because it tends to
play effactor here. And it's the final and most important
piece of advice. Stick to the process. If you got
to the playoffs, if we're doing something right, don't go
change in the way you did it because you start
overthinking the decision.
Speaker 1 (01:54):
Let's talk about injuries for Week four team, beginning with
tonight's tilt between Detroit in Dallas.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Yeah, man, from a fantasy standpoint, what a frenzy we
could have here for us tonight, but we probably won't
have one of the top fantasy producers in the contest.
That does appear likely that a Monrod Saint Brown will
not play this week with an ankle and outside chance here,
I'm not very optimistic. I would have a backup plan,
certainly a situation to pay attention to as be a
(02:22):
closer to the inactives here at ninety minutes for kickoff. Elsewhere,
receiver Drake London not looking like good news there and
they're surprised if I can send using to play for
so why would he rush back? He hasn't practiced yet
this week. I guess he still could tomorrow, but I
doubt it. Looking better for t Higgins obviously a full
participant today, still in concussion protocol. Clearly we'll get final
(02:43):
word on this one before kickoff. If he goes, he's
locked into your lineup. There is a wide receiver too,
and Roma isn't It was locked in your lineup as
a wide receiver too earlier in the season, but struggled
with late bow and now he hasn't practiced in two
straight days with the foot issue. He's on the wrong
side of questionable for week fourteen, we've got the quarterback
injuries to talk about. Justin Herbert leaving the list here.
Broke his left finger on his left hand last week,
(03:05):
finished the game, had surgery on Monday. He's practicing on
the side today. It looks like he's gonna play but
we're talking about taking not near the goalwide, letting Trey
Lance come in. I mean his ceiling is severely taken
down with this injury and the fact he's playing on
Monday night. I can find better things here for League
four team, Lamar Jackson didn't practice today. That's a trend.
Guess what isn't been practicing Elisa Da since he's come back,
(03:26):
And guess what he hasn't also been very fantasy worthy
no touchdowns, three picks over his last couple of games,
and even if he goes this week, he's a backhand
and risky QB one. Jayden Daniels a pool participant today
in practice. There's nothing lots to play for in Washington,
but the fact that guy's a pool participant leaves meet
cautiously off the Mester Hill return this week. Aaron Jones
also practice today, so he's training in the right direction.
(03:48):
I don't think Alvin Kamara is going to play the
rest of the season, We'll see. He's definitely our Week fourteen.
With that the issue with the Saint Tyroen, Tracy should
play with the hipp and Dalton Schultz in the matchup
versus the Bengals. This is very key here for fantasy
managers because he's treed, I think, towards a potential return
from the hamstring the issue, and the Bengals are on
a historic pace for fantasy points allowed, the tight ends
giving up four more fantasy points in the position than
(04:09):
the second worst team in the league. So if Dalton
Schultz is in there, he's probably in your line.
Speaker 1 (04:14):
Dan Klaskin's host of Fantastics Insider Football Serious XEM Fantasy.
Give me your Week fourteen studs, duds and sleepers.
Speaker 2 (04:23):
Yeah, let's get right back to that game tonight, man,
And I mean with Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens to
throw it to and a banged up Detroit secondary. I mean,
Dak Prescott might be I got a number two on
the list of QB, but no shock or if he
puts up more Fantasy points and ANYHIUR player this week. No,
he is certainly top of my stud list here as
his Bucky Irving just got back to the next did
(04:44):
the Bucks running back last week after mission about a
month with an injury. I expect a bigger workload this time.
The Buck's a pretty heavy favorite here against the Saints.
Defense would have been very friendly to the running backs.
Bucky Irving checking in at number seven on my board
right now in this week's rank. On the Dutch side,
I mean David Montgomery, I mean he's very touchdown dependent.
Maybe he gets a little bit of garbage time here,
(05:06):
but with Dallas and the game flow, I mean, it's
just getting really hard to trust him. He's actually outside
my top thirty. Dk Metcalf, another guy has been mostly
a bus here. Obviously this is a big game in
the AFC North, but he's gone four games in a
row without a receiving touchdown. He has fewer than fifty
receiving yards in each game over that span. DK Metcalf
(05:27):
really a boring fantasy option. And then finally some sleepers
Donnie Mitchell there, but the Jets has emerged as the
go to guy and the youngster is in the wide
receiver three range versus Miami and Harold Fannon Jr. Cracking
my top ten at tight end. The over under on
this game continues to drop. It's down to like thirty
three points. I'm not even sure if he'll get there,
(05:49):
but Bannon should be involved in the passing game enough
to make him a viable option if he needed that
tight end.
Speaker 1 (05:55):
Dan Klaskin's Fantastics Insider Football on sirius x Fantasy Giving
Tuesday was this past Tuesday, but it continues with the
triple match. Tell folks how they can play fantasy and
help out our nation veterans.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
Yeah, I mean Giving Tuesday. If you didn't have a
chance to give some of your favorite calls this, well,
we've got a good one for you here. We're giving
back to help veterans. That's what we do at Do
Good Fantasy. And so you mentioned Giving Tuesday. We had
a triple match here at DAV and that's been extended
for Doing Good Fantasy all the way through kickoff here
this week. And basically, you donate twenty dollars or more
(06:32):
to DAV at Do Good Fantasy dot com, it gets
you a pass, you pick a weekly line up. There's
five weeks left, a bunch of prizes. Very few people
participating in for those prizes, so great chance to win,
have some fun. This's a chance to help with veterans
as well, and as I said, you can join us
at do good Fantasy dot com.
Speaker 1 (06:49):
Awesome. As always, we appreciate it and enjoyed the games
this weekend.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
