Episode Transcript

(00:02):
It's time for the fantasy football guys. Two guys who are to fantasy football
what the Kardashians are to quantum physics. Here they are Lyle Knkiel and Kevin
Moore, the fantasy football guys.Yeah, that's right, we are the

(00:23):
fantasy football guys. Kevin Cobble Andin the spirit of the holiday, I
am thankful for Mark has Valdez Scantling'sbutterfingers as m I thank you Mark has
Valdez Scantling make three of us.Although I think the Eagles still win that
game. Probably, I'm glad Idon't have to find out, because I

(00:46):
will tell you this fellas some timeoff my life was was chopped away at
that at the end of that camerawide open. Every Eagles game it is,
you know, but I've come torealize that like Jalen Hurts is thirty
four and one or something against youknow, for the last thirty five stars.

(01:10):
I mean, you know, theykill us, but they win most
of the time. Yeah, They'rereally, really good. And I hate
this narrative that, like, youknow, they just keep getting away with
it and they just keep getting by. You know what, man, the
Chiefs didn't score a point in thesecond half of that game. Dude,
they haven't scored a point in thesecond half in three straight games. I

(01:30):
know, but they didn't score apoint against the Eagles in the second half.
The Eagles defense did a good job. Eagles scored two touchdowns. Right,
they did a good job against avery very good Kansas City defense.
Yeah, yeah, I'm sorry,I listen. I know that at the
end there were some drop passes.It's been a problem for them all year.
But Eagles won that game handly.It wasn't given to them. You

(01:55):
know, I'm tired of this narrative. They beat the Chiefs flat out.
They won. Yeah. I waswatching the watching the video about the defense
that Decide put on in that game, and basically they just had had so
much pressure rushing, bringing six almoston every play that you know, Mahomes

(02:15):
could not get comfortable. So also, the other thing, the last thing
about that game, I think beforeand before we start discussing people, is
the fact that Jalen Carter almost pickedoff a spike. Now, you guys,
that would have been amazing. Justthe fact that he tried it was
amazing. Not only did he try, he got his hands on it,

(02:37):
he did he was just bounced,which it's probably gone it because your hands
don't have any give that low.But that is an interesting like attempt,
and if he would have picked thatoff, like god, dude, they
would have been a parade for himon Tuesday on Broad Street. Not only
that, but it would have beenlike the highlight of the year, you

(02:59):
know, maybe the decade. It'spretty it's it's pretty awesome. I think
that's going to change the way peoplespike football is now. Well, sir,
if he tries it again, uh, and or if he ends up
getting away with it and actually picksone off, it's going to change things.
Yeah. No, he gave ita shot. It didn't work out,
but uh, you know, that'spretty awesome. The thing is,

(03:22):
though, that was a live footballand nobody knew like there were eagles there.
They could have jumped and tried tograb that. I don't think they
would have been successful, but thatwas a live football at that point.
Well his hands, yeah, itbounds off his hands. Well, you
know, the thing is is,can you imagine being that center and now
Jalen Carter, who's not a smalldude, is jumping between your legs.

(03:46):
What are you thinking there bad thoughts. I'm thinking, please, please don't
get up quickly. Yeah, yousee the the interview in the locker room
after the game. Yeah, hewas like, I saw high school player
do it and thought that seems prettycool. They're interviewing Josh Sweat and he
was like, no, he didn'ttell us that he was going to do
that. He just did it.He said, it's funny. Now it
wasn't funny then. Yeah. Okay, So two things about this week fellas.

(04:12):
First of all, gobble gobble bitches, and second Comma after the second
gobble, there it is officially sayit with me, Lyle. Oh,
it is crunched. It's week twelve, bro, Yeah, but there's you
got twenty weeks or twenty five weeksnow, right, But still, if
you want to make the playoffs,you probably got to win the next couple

(04:33):
weeks twelve and thirteen and fourteen werefifteen, sixteen, seventeen playoff weeks.
So three weeks to crunch time,we're in it. This is the start.
This is a bleeding edge of crunchtime. Also, ladies and gentlemen,
I'm officially out of the G Leaguefinally. Oh no, Well,
like I said, to the peoplewho were remaining in the G League.

(04:55):
Thank god Lyle's out, you know, because he would have been impossible to
deal with if he'd won this damnthing. If I wanted, you'd never
hear the I would buy. Iwould take the money and buy a billboard
so that you had to drive byit occasionally. What I would do have
one of those airplanes pull up bannerabsolutely around our house. But you know

(05:20):
what, I'm I'm glad I'm outbecause I had Mahomes and the person who
was four points behind me had DeVontaSmith and DeAndre Swift. So had I
remained in the G League, theEagles would have likely lost. So the
irony is, had I started eitherJoshua Dobbs or Calvin Ridley, I would

(05:43):
have won. How about Ridley?Who was going to start him? Though?
I mean, you know he wasscoring two to three points a week
and Mahomes, I mean, areyou gonna start Dobbs or Mahomes? Is
there my Homes? Yeah? Whatare you gonna do? Yeah? Can't
fall you for that. Indeed,So here we are starting into week twelve,

(06:05):
deep into the deep, into intothe second half of the season.
So I'm going to say a coachfellas, and I want you to give
me from zero to no heat toten on fire. The uh the temperature
of their seat? You ready,Sean McDermott. Eight. Uh, it's

(06:30):
hot. I don't know if it'san eight, but it's hot. It's
seven point nine, dude, theymight not make the playoffs. If they
don't make the playoffs, he's gone. I would think that's true, you
know. I think just making theplayoffs doesn't get him off that hot seat.
I think he's going to have togo deep. Yeah, they need
they need AFC Championship appearance. Evenan appearance might not they Buffo is still

(06:53):
a really good team, man.I don't nobody's happy, right being good?
Being good isn't enough? Yeah,the most good enough for like three
or four years now and can't getover it. And now they're playing worse
than they've played over the course ofthose four years. Well, they tried
to blame me off theive coordinator.We'll see if that gets straightened. I

(07:14):
think the windows kind of ease andclosed a little bit. To be frank
uh, I changed my mind.I think it's like a six. I
don't think he's an eight, ok. He's a six. All right.
Brandon Staley ten. I'm surprised.I'm surprised he was on the bus home.
I'm surprised he survived that press conferenceafterwards. That was a little harsh.
Yeah, yeah, would totally agree. They have too many talented players

(07:42):
to be as bad as they are. But their defense is just horrendous.
Yeah, and Staley's calling those playsand he's supposed to be this defensive genius.
Yeah, he was a he wasa devis a coordinator for the Rams.
Right. I think we're there inthe Super Bowl. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, all right, So thisone probably we can't just you know,
get to the to the discussion onthis and in the time that we
have here. But Bill Belichick four. There's there's rumor like he could actually

(08:07):
get traded to Washington after the season. I think four or five is probably
about right. I also saw thepossibility of him going to the Cowboys,
which I don't think would work outwith Jerry Jones. But no, I
don't think because Bill Bill has tobe the guy picking the players too.
So Jerr is not giving up generalmanagership. Sorry, I mean hews the

(08:33):
dude. At some point he's gonnahave to. I hope he lives forever.
Guys, I don't think this.I think this guy's probably nobody's even
I've only heard a couple of peoplesay it, but Mike Vrabel zero yeah,
like one maybe, yeah, JonathanGannon it's his first year, yeah,

(08:56):
but four. I think it's actuallyprobably lower than that. I mean,
without his starting quarterback correct for mostof the year, didn't really have
well he had the Vikings starting quarterbacksof the year. And they beat the
Cowboys. Like it's not like it'snot like they're playing badly. They're they're

(09:18):
playing teams really tough every time.They're just not winning the game. So
I don't I think it's probably theowner that hired him, not like the
president or something of the team.But I think the owner looks at the
team and says his team's playing well, they're just not winning it. And
this is the like you said,it's the first year. You know,
if next year there's no observable youknow, he's without your franchise player.

(09:43):
It's pretty rough man, and youknow they've looked they're a different team last
two weeks. Absolutely, And he'sdangerous. He is super dangerous, the
most electric so he was healthy.So yeah, like a different offense.
So win six games is here insteadof three, So we'll see maybe Frank

(10:05):
Reich hm hmm. Again, Idon't know, it's it's it's I mean,
when you have a rookie as yourquarterback, I think you can just
get a pass that season. Youshould, you should, But then you

(10:26):
see what Stroud's doing. Yeah,but that's that's a totally different situation,
totally different player based, different scheme, different player. Yeah. I think
I think when you when you bringa rookie in and you bring a guy
in to coach that rookie, youget you got to give him a couple
of years to see progress. Anyway, Look, if if this was in

(10:46):
New York, right or l Aor something like that, I think the
seat would be hotter. It's Carolina. You know, he's probably gonna no.
The coordinator might change. Yeah,I think the coordinator has changed,
well, the play callers. Itwas Frank Reich and then it was the
OC and now it's back to FrankReig. So it's moving around. They're
they're making changes. It's just notI say, let the kid call the

(11:11):
plays on the field. Let's doit. Let's go old school, all
right, Arthur Smith, Atlanta Falcons. Yeah, I think it's probably pretty
hot. I don't think it's again, I don't know, I don't.
I don't think it's super hot.But really just based on that mustache alone,

(11:31):
I mean, they don't. Theyjust they don't have much personnel.
They the last three years, theyspent the first round pick on offensive skilled
players and they don't get those playersthe ball. I agree with that.
Whose fault is that? But theplay caller also the head coach. I

(11:52):
mean they stuck with a quarterback hesay like a six right, So as
a as not a Falcons fan,I agree. If I'm a Falcons fan,
dude, I'm lighting that damn thingon fire myself. And that's that's
what I'm thinking, is because that'swhere most of the heats coming from,
is from the fans and from insidethe building, and that's where the fire

(12:15):
less from inside the building, becauseyou know, if it was really hot
from I mean, Arthur Blank's probablynot happy that they spend. Vision is
really weak right now. Yeah,and they can't be much to win that
division, you know. Yeah,maybe start giving the ball to the number
one running back you've drafted or throwingto the tight end or the receiver.
Of course, you know when yourquarterback's DEAs rhetoric. But that's what I'm

(12:39):
saying, is they instead of tryingto better the quarterback situation, they are
drafting skill players and don't have anybodyto get them the ball. They had
lots of opportunity to get somebody elsethat could do it. They stuck with
Desmond Ritter and they picked up TaylorHeineke. If they don't make a quarterback
move this offseason and they roll withthose two guys again, and are the

(13:01):
Smith's still the head coach next season? And that's but that's but that's not
the coach's decision. Man, isnot the coaching decision, That's true.
That's the GM man. He canonly do what he can do with the
players that he's given. True.Yeah, but but he's got all these
players and he's not using them,right, Yeah, exactly. Hey,
I'm gonna I'm gonna use b JonRobinson as a decoy away from the play

(13:24):
to loosen up the Yeah. Imean, there was a play a couple
of weeks ago where there was likea flea flicker to John hus Smith,
John new Smith was rolling out topass and threw it to Mike Cole Prewitt.
While Kyle Pitt's pass blocked. Thatcan't happen. That's twelve D chess

(13:46):
bro that that can't happens. Hottake. Here's a controversial take. I
don't think Pitts is that good.I really don't. How would you even
know? I mean, I justbecause if he was that good, you
would see it. I haven't seenit. I think he's a decent tight

(14:07):
end in the NFL. So hisrookie season, the last time he had
a quarterback that was commonant was MattRyan and he got a thousand yards.
Fine, you're starting an NFL franchise. You can pick three tight ends.
Is Kyle Pitts one of them.No, he's got you there. Yeah,
yeah, he's on your practice squadman. You don't even think about

(14:28):
him. So yeah, I justdon't think he's that great. I think
he's ok. He's okay. Ithink he could be. I don't know.
I haven't seen anything. Well.I think that's part of the point
is that he hasn't been allowed toshow it. But like like Robbie said,
he was a thousand yard tight endseason one and it wasn't even a

(14:48):
great like he wasn't doing anything crazy, but he ended up with a thousand
yards with Matt Ryan as his quarterbackand he was the only one on that
team. Well, to be fair, to get a thousand yards in today's
NFL, you only need like sixtyyards a game. Yeah, but he's
a tight end. Yeah. Soyeah, all right, So Matt Eberfluss

(15:11):
Chicago Bears, uh two. Yeah, I think it's pretty low. I
think they've been playing. I mean, after that first like four or five
weeks, they started playing better.Fields comes back if they win a couple
of games again here, I don'tthink he needs to work. There's lots
of conversation about do they move onfrom justin fields. They're gonna have two
early picks. I think you usethose picks, yeah, which could be

(15:33):
number one overall. So you know, there's a lot of things they could
do with those two picks. Youknow, trade, trade back if if
you know, because there's gonna besomebody who wants to move up to get
Caleb Williams or you know, anotherquarterback or Marvin Harrison or whatever. They
could trade back a couple of times, right, so they could take Marvin
Harrison, you know, and withtheir own pick or whatever, and then

(15:54):
you know, trade back and getit, you know, get a couple
of good offensive lineman. There's lotsof things they could do, and Ibra
Flos hasn't been there that long.I would be absolutely floored if they didn't
draft a quarterback. I'm not sayingthey should do one high or in the
first round, but I think theymight pull in Eagles and draft one in

(16:15):
the second right because Fields is supremelytalented physically. But I don't know,
man like, and you can't affordto just wait around forever, and I
feel like Fields is value right now. You can still get something from him,
a lot like the Eagles did forCarson Wentz. Yeah, I don't

(16:38):
know, man, I would beshocked if in the first three rounds they
don't draft a quarterback. They couldtrade that pick, move to the back
of the first round and draft abackup the Fields and let them compete.
Well, the thing is is,you know, you've made your fan base
go through the growing pains of arookie quarterback now for a couple of years,

(17:00):
So what are you gonna do.You're gonna start that process all over
and start the new process of makingyour fan base wait for a guy to
develop. I think Fields now,we saw him earlier this season. He
had two back to back four touchdowngames. Kids got skills, he does,
you know, and he's he's onlygoing to get better reading defenses very

(17:22):
completely raw. Yeah, they needto draft a good offensive coordinator. That
wouldn't hurt. It's what they needto do, and just draft only defensive
players. I would love to seed g More on one side and Marvin
Harrison on the other. That wouldbe fantastic. I'm sure Field would too.
I bet he would. All Right, and see what else we got

(17:42):
here. How's about uh, DennisAllen the Saints? Yeah, oh yeah,
probably you know, they're they're leading, They're in the playoffs right now.
They're leading the division. So itain't sexy, but at least it's
it's working. Yeah, Bowls TampaBay Bucks similar. I think it's probably

(18:03):
a little bit higher, but Idon't think anybody had any expectations with Baker
Mayfield there. Yeah, that teamis also pretty old. I think I
think they have one of the highestaverage ages, so they're like, I'm
probably about to enter into a rebuild. I mean they're in it now,
but yeah, yeah, but likelike really get into it. Yeah,

(18:25):
I think he I think he getsanother year. I really haven't heard a
whole lot of banter about it's asmaller market, so yeah, like clamor
speaking of not small markets though,Ron Rivera, I ain't going to put
that at about an eight. Yeah, I think I think. I don't

(18:48):
know if it was one of youguys last week or something I read,
but somebody said that Sam Howell playingas well as he has been playing this
year is the only reason he hasn'tbeen fired already. Could be. Yeah,
Howell's playing lights out this year,and if if he was playing like
you know, Desmond Ritter, Ithink they'd already have a different head coach.

(19:08):
Possible. I think it's it's verylikely that he's gone at the end
of the season. Yeah, newteam owner, get my guys in,
you know, all that kind ofstuff. You think it's the enemy that
takes over. You can't you can'tplay really well against the Eagles and then
go loose in the Giants. Dude, you just can't do it. Yeah

(19:29):
twice, yeah, twice. Yeah, it's hard to come back from that.
Yeah, you just can't. It'sjust so unpredictable and you're obviously better
than that, so you know,you can't you can't let you can't let
Tommy DeVito de Vito throw up theattacks or like Tommy Defeto. Oh oh,

(19:53):
I don't know if you guys sawthat, but he did the Italian
gesture, you know, the thefingers in the thumb. Yeah, beautiful.
It was really hilarious. But helit him up, and uh and
uh, you know you can't dothat and and expect to keep your job.
I'm sorry, And it all comesdown to the head coach. I

(20:17):
saw a TikTok clip of some podcasts. It was talking about DeVito's family was
in the stands. It's like,look at, look at this guy.
This is the most Italian guy you'veever seen. And like here here's his
brother, Giuseppe de Vito. Youknow, it's just I don't know if
those are the real names or not, but it was just, you know,
it was very you know, stereotypicalItalian Jersey family sitting in the stands.

(20:41):
Now, probably nice folks, butit was kind of funny the way
they were displaying the gabba ghoul.All right, so guy got God got
a w man. He did,And you know what, maybe he's their
quarterback of the future. He's not, definitely not. He's the backup of
the future. I think Daniel Joneson that team. I'm rooting for him.

(21:04):
Sure, why not? What doyou think Daniel Jones is gonna be
on that team next year? Hehas to be. They paid him too
much money. He has to be. Yeah, it would cost him,
you know, now, I guessthey could. I guess they could draft
another quarterback who's going to be cheap, and then you just pay Daniel Jones
the thirty four million you're gonna payhim because you're only paying a couple of
meal for the rookie, you know, so it would even out, I

(21:25):
guess. But trade him to footballteam. Yeah, who's gonna take Danny
Jones for thirty four million dollars?I don't know. Give me a team,
say a team name that's gonna takethat that salary on Atlanta ll you
know you got you might have?Yeah? All right, so let's hit
the news. We'll get to thegames. Aaron Jones has a knee.
He's out for week twelve. That'snot going to help the Packers beat the

(21:48):
Lions. Kenny Walker without oblique.We saw he's dealt for for Week twelve
against the forty nine ers. Uhluke, Yeah, dude, all right,
I've been holding on to sharp andthey for eleven weeks. Now it's
gonna pay off. Hopefully. MuskGrave is out for for the Packers.
He is a lacerated kidney. Yeah, that was always It's hard to play

(22:12):
with those. Damian Pierce actually practicedfor a second straight day, so we'll
see what that looks like for theTexans. Noah Brown out of practice today.
Uh, let's see. Bobby Treeshas a foot issue. Plus he's
a vet, so he gets torest on Wednesday. Game time decision Thursday
for Antonio Gibson because he has thattoe. Uh. Let's see. Joey

(22:33):
Bosa is heading to i R withthat foot. Good news for Kyra and
Williams shareholders. Dudes officially returning,officially returned to practice today and if he
can actually be in the game.I heard they actually released Darryl Henderson.
They did think Karen Williams coming back. Thanks thanks, Darryl. Maybe we'll
pick you up for the practice school. If them doing that gave me a
lot of confidence that Ky was actuallygoing to play this week, because if

(22:56):
they weren't sure he was gonna play, I don't think they would have released
and not just play, but playplay the whole time. Yeah, the
whole thing. Uh. So tospeaking of Danny Jones and at ACL,
he went to surgery today, sogood for him. Cede Lamb has an
ankle limited it today's practice. Uh. Surprisingly, Devona Shane with his knee
practice today. He was out ofthe game this last week and I thought

(23:18):
maybe he was gonna be out fora couple more weeks. But he's actually
getting practice rep. So that's goodfor him. Uh. DJ Dallas you
might not think it matters much,but with you know, the situation there,
it could be he could be gettingsome action. Curse. Yeah,
let's see what we got here.Tyler Lockett full practice Yesterday's got that hammy.

(23:40):
Also, Jake Bobo, which isone of my favorite player names of
all time, got a full practicein as well. And that's it for
news really. I mean, youknow, at this at this time of
year, everybody's hurt, so Idon't know if these guys always getting on
the injury report. Uh. Speakingof which, I think the Bengals might
be a little trouble keeping the injuryreport from for Joe Burrow out of the
out of the situation. Yeah,that was that was interesting. It looked

(24:06):
like I saw some clips of himduring warm up and it didn't look right
before the game, and obviously duringthe game messed it up a little more.
But well, I think the secondtime that's happened this year where a
team hasn't mentioned something going on withthe play the Falcons in earlier with Bijon
Well, well, yeah, becausehe was he was ill. But the
thing with Burrow is if he's ifhe's got an issue with this with this

(24:27):
throwing hand, right, if he'snot questionable, he's like, I'm going
to deal with this on playing.He's not questionable, He's absolutely playing.
He has an issue that he's workingthrough, but he's not questionable. Do
you have to disclose that that youknow the fact that he's dealing through with
a wrist injury or whatever. Well, I mean I think when you do
your injury report the day before,you say he's dealing with it, and

(24:48):
you maybe say he's questionable the daybefore. Now, if it was something
day of maybe they write the injuryreport, and so he has this injury,
but he's playing, but they didn'tsay anything. Potentially, you gotta
to give him a designation if he'squestionable. If he's not questionable, he's
going to play regardless of what happenswith that wrist. Sure, I just
don't know if they have to sayhe's injured and playing or just he's playing.

(25:11):
I'm not sure. I think it'sit's going then too being a nothing
burger. Probably. I was gonnamention you said, that's the only thing
about news. Do you want totalk about Shack Leonard? Well, I
don't. I don't want to chanceit. He's not definitely not gonna end
up on the Eagles. I'm knockingon wood right now. Dude. He's
got to clear every the Eagles atthe bottom waiver priority. He's got to

(25:33):
clear waivers essentially for them to beable to get him. There's no way
that's gonna happen. So put itout of your mind. I don't know,
man. He guy's gotta hope.Well, you can hope all the
way you want, and somebody's gonnaclaim him. I would hope. I
really want to want to know whyhe was waived three time All Pro.

(25:55):
He dude, he apparently he justhas completely disagreed with the defensive philosophy this
year, and he's been kind ofa pain in the ass. One thing
of your three time All Pro.You know, you've earned the right to
be a pain in the ass ifyou don't agree with disagree with you.
But I think it came to apoint where he was just like, look,
I know you can't trade me atthis point, but I'm not playing

(26:18):
another snap for you guys. Yeah, I have sure a bye week too.
Yeah, so the Eagles will notget it. So put it out
of your mind. Are you tryingto psych yourself out? You're trying to
let yourself down? Easy line.No, No, I'm not letting myself
he did. There's no way thirtyone other teams aren't gonna find eight million

(26:40):
dollars or whatever the rest of hiscap it is for the year, you
know, because it was like nineteenmillion, I think, but we're through
half of the season now, soit's like eight or six million. Dude,
I think there would be thirty oneteams that'd be interested in bringing that
guy in, of course, Yeah, yeah, of course. You know,
listen, just think it'll get,it'll get Let's say it gets far.
Do you think San Francisco lets himgo by? Or Dallas? Well,

(27:03):
what are you gonna do? You'regonna sit Freddie Warner to put Shaq
Leonard. Isn't that you're not gonnalet the Eels get him as what you're
gonna do? That's true's but isn'tthat what happens? That's just what the
Eagles do. They just get everybody. I'm just telling you only from Georgia,
out of your mind? Where didyou play college? All right,
so your first Thanksgiving Day game?Of course, the Lions are hosting as

(27:27):
they do. The Packers are intown. Oddly enough, I'm going to
give her a thumbs up to JordanLove. Dude's been quarterback eleven over the
last month, total points, Detroit'stwenty seconds, twenty second against quarterbacks over
the last four weeks. I'm notgonna expect, you know, twenty eight
points out of the dude, butI'm gonna expect around twenty. I think

(27:49):
he's gonna do. Okay, Soit's not an enthusiastic third thumb up,
but it's a it's one thumb andmaybe a half of another. We saw
that Aaron Jones is out with theknee. AJ Dillons suffering with a groin.
He was limited in practice. Sowe're looking at with like Pat Taylor,
Manny Wilson, No thanks, I'mnot gonna do it. Christian Watson,

(28:14):
you know, he called it TDthis last week, so to Romeo
Dobbs. But these guys aren't reallylighting it up, right. I mean,
Watson was two for four for twentyone had the TD. Dobbs five
for six, which is good fiftythree yards in the TD. So flex
numbers, to be sure out ofDobbs more than Watson. But really,
Jayden Reid is a guy like dude. Six targets, four catches, forty
six yards this last week. Plusthe dude ran three times for you know,

(28:37):
a bunch of yards in a touchdownas well. So I'm gonna,
you know, absolutely say Jayden Reid, Dobbs, if you need a Flexville,
Watson, if you really need aFlexville and you're desperate there, I
would also grab mister Wix don TavianWicks and put him at the end of
my bench. He's been he gotfive targets and three catches and almost one
hundred yards last week, and that'skind of been going for the last couple

(29:00):
So grabbing stash that, dude.See what happens. We saw that Musgrave
was out with that kidney, sojust ignore the tight end position there.
From the Lions golf has been aquarterback two like not quarterback two, but
like quarterback twenty. Over the lastfour games, he's eighteenth. Actually,
circumstances may dictate you play him becauseso many quarterbacks are out and you know

(29:23):
it's golf. He's got a lotof weapons to throw to in use.
So not a horrible play, butjust temper your expectations there. Got to
play either of these running backs.Montgomery since returning from injury, which is
a couple of games ago, abuck ninety two and two touchdowns a touchdown
each week, so sure. JamiirGibbs is running back one over the last

(29:44):
four weeks with almost twenty six PPRpoints per game. Yes, please,
And some people got Bijon Robinson first. How do you feel now anyway?
Yeah, of course you can playa monra. Jamison Williams is starting to
get into the conversation of being fantasyworthy. I had a touchdown last week.
Sam will Port his tight end tenlast four weeks in PPR with an

(30:07):
eleven point five point per game average. So yeah, I play Sammy two
nice. I got the second Thanksgivinggame. It's Commedy's Cowboys, and we
talked a little bit about Sam howearlier he has been better than you would
expect, but not always good.He would eat threw three picks last week

(30:29):
that was horrible, but he stillhad twenty points. You know, the
week before that he had twenty four, I mean against the Eagles last time.
Apparently he's that's who he likes toplay against. He was QB one,
So this is a really tough situationfor him. I would play him
if you have to, not youknow, as a oh I should probably

(30:49):
start him this week. No,I don't know, only if you have
to, but if you have to, I wouldn't feel too terrible about it.
I think he's going to get youtwenty. Yeah, and he plays
really well against good team, soit seems so it seems, but you
know, Deron Bland is, youknow, probably out there somewhere trying to
break a record. So yeah,he is really good. I know he's

(31:12):
a cowboy and the sacrilege on thisshow, but good guy, you have
to respect it. Yeah, it'sit's pretty easy. Imagine if Diggs was
there too, that'd be brutal.Yeah. Anyway, Brian Robinson is another
guy that you definitely have to start. He's been a top top ten running
back in PPR leagues the past twoweeks. The previous week he was number
eighteen, but he scored a touchdownin that game, so yeah, I'll

(31:34):
allow it. Definitely play him.Scary Terry is a must start if you're
desperate, you need a flex.He gets a fair amount of targets,
but just the production's not there.Only two touchdowns on the season. He
has yet the crack one hundred yards. He's had some decent games, but

(31:55):
they're not They're not great. Samething with Logan Tom just a guy blah
blah blah whatever tight end from thecowboy side. Gonna play Dak obviously,
he's been a monster lately. Wasn'tgreat against Carolina, Oddly found that kind
of weird. Heally had sixteen points, but the week before against the Giants

(32:16):
he had almost forty, So Imean, you can't sit in. Pollard
actually bounced back with a decent gamelast week. That was good to see
again. I will hesitate to playhim anywhere but a flex. You know,
I get it. He's Tony Pollard, he plays for Cowboys, blah
blah blah. Well, you know, last week was the first touchdown he

(32:37):
scored since Week one, so I'mnot hedging my bets that he's gonna do
it again. Cd is. Youknow he hasn't a linen ankle. He's
gonna play. They stated that it'snot going to keep him from playing.
You absolutely have to play. Overthe past month, he's pretty much wide
receiver one. I don't know,maybe rekill will have something to say about

(33:00):
that, but you know, wellwe did to compare the numbers, but
he's up there. So definitely playthat guy. I mean when I see
point totals like twenty nine, twentyeight, like, I'm like, what,
Definitely play it. He didn't scorelast week, which is the first
time since the buye that he hadn'thad a touchdown. I think he gets

(33:22):
back on the schneide, not offof it this week. I would play
him as well. All Right,this is the final Thursday game. This
is San Francisco going up to Seattle. This is a potential division defining game
here. I think they played oncealready, so this is gonna set the

(33:43):
matchup for the season. Yeah,going into last week, Seattle was leading
the division and then they lost fromFrisco. One. That was flip.
But yeah, but yeah, sothis is important game for both teams.
For the Niners, I don't thinkyou can sit anybody. McCaffrey didn't score
a touchdown to two weeks ago,did score one this past weekend, so
he's I guess, restarting the streakof touchdowns. People are giving Kittle hell

(34:06):
for not falling down at the oneso McCaffrey could get his touchdown two weeks
ago. Yeah, come on,dude, was trying to get his milestones
too, right, hit his bonuses. McCaffrey is pretty humbled about that.
But yeah, obviously you're gonna startMcCaffrey. Obviously you're gonna start Debo Ayuk
and Kittle. Honestly, though,I think, and maybe this isn't a

(34:30):
hot take, but Brandon A.Yuk is a much better start than Deebo
Samuel has been. Yeah, Ithink just is. I think he's going
to be better pretty much every game, So I got a trade off of
this last week. If I caninterject, go ahead, I've already done
it. Stroud. I get Stroudand give up Debo. I jumped on

(34:52):
that this isn't a dynasty league orthis is a this is a keeper league.
I can keep Stroud for like asixteenth yeah Jesus, yeah, yeah,
And I gave up Debo and Iimmediately because I had I had Kyler
Kyler Murray. Thanks. I washaving a brain front there. I have
Kyler Murray. So I traded himand somebody else and ended up with Mike

(35:15):
Evans. So I think I actuallyimproved my receiver and got a younger quarterback.
Yeah. So I was like,whoo, yeah, that's pretty good
for a sixteen for sixteenth yeah orfifteen, but yeah, it's very late.
I'll have him for the next threeyears. Yeah, that's pretty good.
Back to the Niners. Yeah,you're not going to send anyone.

(35:35):
If you are going to have tosit someone, I think it's Debo because
he's been but I still wouldn't.No, I still wouldn't. But like,
if you had to pick between thetwo receivers, Diba is one I'm
putting on the bench, uh forthen for the Seahawks. Uh, Gino
kind of back to mediocrity. HasI don't know if he's had a good

(35:58):
game this year. It's kind ofshocking actually, considering how well last year
went and the team only got better. He's only had two games and the
top ten of quarterbacks. Kind ofembarrassing for him, actually reverting to old
genos man. But those of uswho've watched his entire career can't say we're

(36:21):
shocked. Right, Yeah, sothis isn't a great matchup against the Niners
defense is pretty good, wasn't holdon? Was like, what Gino the
guy on the Jets that actually puncheda player? Was that him? One
of his teammates too? It brokelike broke his jaw or something. I
think something that was him? Yeah, man, that feels like it was
forever ago. Well it might havebeen ten years ago. It was a

(36:45):
while because Gino is not a youngguy. He's you know, mid thirties,
yeah, early thirties. This ishis eleventh year, so actually that
was his rookie season too, Sookay, all right, yeah it was
it was forever ago. Yeah,I just yeah, please continue. I
just was like, oh my god, was that him? Were there fisticuffs.
Yeah. Yeah, so I thinkat best he's a QB two.

(37:07):
But honestly, this week, youprobably don't have any reason to start him.
I think there's definitely gonna be twentyfive better quarterbacks than him. We're
finally gonna get to see Zach Charbonayin a starting role. There's lots of
hype around him coming out of thedraft for forty. Yeah. Yeah,
not a great matchup for him,but I mean we'll get to see something

(37:30):
at least, And I don't knowif there's going to be a multi week
thing for Kenneth Walker to be out, but I'm happy to see him actually
get the the amount of touches hedeserves because I was really hoping he was
going to go to like Miami inthe draft and do something, but probably
a flex at best, considering thematchup. He wasn't fast enough to get

(37:50):
drafted in Miami. Yeah, that'strue. DK and Lockett both are honestly
getting about getting aout the same amountof points per week on average, just
in a different way. DK's alittle more consistent getting you around thirteen.
Lockett can get you twenty five orit can get you five, So you
kind of have to pick your poisonthere, but all of them are probably
you know, wide receiver two orthree at this point. Again, great

(38:13):
defense, they're going up again,So I wouldn't expect a breakout game from
either one of them. Why probablyten tour wide receiver three, and I
don't even think this team has atight end. So that's it there you
go, all right, So backto the Sunday games now where there's actually
a Friday game. That's true,there is a Friday game, and I
have it. That's the Friday game. Yeah, I hate it too,

(38:37):
you know, being a guy whojust generally sits around and moans from eating
too much food the day before Fridayfootball, I'm alright with it. The
bad news is is that when theywere putting the schedule together, they were
thinking it was going to be theDolphins against Aaron Rodgers. What a great
game to play day after Thanksgiving.Instead, we're gonna have Timmy Boyle who

(38:58):
has a career three touchdown nine interceptionstat line. That's what we get to
watch, and we're gonna watch itbecause what the hell else are we doing.
You're gonna go shopping, No,you're gonna watch football, and you're
gonna like it. You're gonna likeit. So let's look at the Dolphins
here. So two, if youjust look at the numbers, you know,
Okay, eighteen points a game inhis last four. It doesn't suck,

(39:20):
but it's not fantastic. Jets arefifth against fantasy quarterbacks in the last
four games, so it's not gonnabe a great matchup. But honestly,
you know, no matter what Tuahas going or for and more against him
because he's got Rekilling, Jalen Waddleand Raheem Moster and Devina Chaine and all
these guys. Because of the possibilitiesof the guy throwing five six touchdowns,
you can't sit the dude, soyou just have to roll with it.

(39:43):
Raheem Moster of eighty five yards agame in his last two, two touchdowns
in his last three. Of course, you're gonna play him. Mentioned before
that Devona Shane is gonna play eventhough he has that inn and Jeff Wilson
should be ready to go for Friday, so we'll see how that works out.
Of course, you're gonna play Hill. Dude's all world. You're gonna
play Jalen Waddles as well. Youknow other receivers and no tight end has

(40:07):
called a touchdown in Miami all season, so no thanks. Yeah, looking
at the Jets, it's really atwo person situation here. You gotta play
Breshall. He's running back ten overthe last month, so regardless of who's
handing him the ball, he's stillgonna get his. Garrett Wilson is questionable
with an elbow. He hasn't hada touchdown since Week two. But you

(40:28):
can't sit the dude. So TimBoyle's quarterback can't play. Literally, can't
be worse than Zach Wilson's quarterback play. It can be just as bad,
but it can't really be worse,to be frank. So maybe there's gonna
be an uptick in the Garrett Wilsonusage. Who knows, but really it's
those two guys and that's it.Cool, I got Jaggs Texans and funny

(40:54):
enough, there are actually a fewplayers to talk about in this game.
Truvert Lawrence is probably not one ofthem. I know. He had his
best game maybe as a pro,last week against Tennessee. Cool he had
four touchdowns. Cool Fantasy quarterback numberone thirty two points. Guess how many
times he has finished in the topten other than last week once. Oh

(41:16):
okay, ever, no, justye oh okay, good year. Did
you see my trade Lyle in thein one of the leagues were in Now,
I traded him away and got abunch of stuff for him, and
I was like, this is foryou, Lyle. Yeah, and in
the Ultimate Dynasty League. I reallylike Trevor Lawrence. I really do.
I like him as a player,I wouldn't mind him on my team,

(41:38):
but as a fantasy quarterback, I'mnot in He wins a lot of football
games. They got three losses.Man, this is a good team.
But as a fantasy quarterback, likewhen I look at him against Pittsburgh and
he has two ninety two a touchdownon a pick. Look, okay,
cool, you won the game,but fantasy wise, you got fifteen points.

(42:05):
So more so Lyle, Robbie gotRussell Wilson, Devin Singletary and kyn
Williams and gave up telaw Oh mygod, I said, somebody needs to
call the police because that was adamn robbery. Yeah, it was robbery.
By the way, it was thesecond time this entire year, no
third, third that he is hehas had more than one touchdown in the

(42:28):
game third time. It's week twelve. It's embarrassing and that's weak sauce nice
seriously like and by by the way, all of those other games were two
touchdown games. There wasn't a three. There wasn't a four including rushing right.

(42:49):
So, but Lyle, his hairis fantastic. It is fantastic and
I love it. And he shouldbe a cover model. He should sell
shoes. He wins a lot offootball games. I don't have a problem
with them. As a football player. He's a terrible fantasy quarterback. I
would not play him. Attn isnot a terrible fantasy running back, but
he has been the past couple ofweeks. Temper expectations there, It's a

(43:14):
middling matchup. Houston's about seventeen eighteenthagainst fantasy running backs depending on your scoring
system. He does catch a fairamount of passes, so pprs make you
feel better. Great before the byeweek, he was a top five running
back four weeks in a row,so it's hard to say no, definitely

(43:35):
play him. I actually like ChristianKirk more than I like Calvin Ridley.
I know, really had a daylast week, fine, or you know,
it happens but previous to that,Kirk was the top guy. I
would definitely play him. Ridley,I'm not sure about. I mean,
it's hard to look at what happenedagainst Tennessee and go shoot, I you

(43:59):
know, I wish I would haveplayed him again. I'm in that position
if I'd have started him, othave won in the g League. But
the previous game he had two points. The game before that against Pittsburgh he
had eight. The game before thathe had zero point five. Hard to
trust? Yeah, Like, amI starting that? The game before that
he had two point six? Right, Like, I'm not starting that guy

(44:23):
so temper If you want to playhim, fine, but I wouldn't.
Evan Ingram is slightly more than aguy occasionally win. Trevor Lawrence throws him
the ball. He gets targeted alot, so in a PPR fine.
Other than that, wouldn't play.I gotta tell you. In Scott's Fishball,
they really hype up tight end scoring. He's like twenty five points a

(44:46):
week. Heavn Ingram is really becauseof the Yeah, it's like, you
know, you catch a first downpass for ten yards, it's like a
four point play, and has alot of targets. He gets a lot
of catches. Yeah, I thinkthat scoring system is a point for a
catch, an extra point if it'sa tight end, a point for a
first down, and extra point ifit's a tight end catching the first down.
So yeah, a ten yard firstdown completion for a ten end is

(45:08):
five points. Yeah. So consequentlyhe's in that league. I have three
tight ends of my flexes. Yeah, yeah, it makes sense. He's
lost more fumbles this year than hehas touchdowns and he's only lost one fumble.
Yike, So who so what areyou trying to say? You know,

(45:29):
a PPR. Fine, but yeah, otherwise I think just Travis said,
Dean is getting all the touchdowns.It's good to know that Evan Inger
is not a touchdown dependent It's verytrue. From the Houston side, c
J. Shroud is a pretty mucha lock at this point for Rookie of
the Year off of the Rookie ofthe Year, And yeah, you got

(45:50):
to play this kid might be anMVP. Noah, he's not. He's
I hear you. He's definitely.He'll definitely get a couple of votes,
but he's not in the conversation forthe for the top players, and he
shouldn't be but he is really reallygood. And I watched the interview with
him and Tom Brady. I don'tknow if you guys saw this. I
did, yeah, and you did, yeah, I think so, yeah

(46:14):
yeah, And he asked Tom Bradylike what you know, what he should
think about? So it was areally good interview. But anyway, the
kid's got a good head on hisshoulders and I think he's going to be
pretty amazing. And I love Tom'sanswer too. Just yeah, well it
was fantastic. Yeah, listeners outthere, if you haven't seen it,
just look up Tom Brady, CJ. Stroud you'll hear it. Basically,
tom Brady's just telling him, Hey, you have to realize this is your
job now, right, and uhyeah, it's you're not in college anymore.

(46:38):
This is your job, right.It's not about what am I doing
for fun? It's what am Idoing to win? Right? And that
didn't take That takes intense focus,and that's how the dude, when the
goat talks, you listen. Sohopefully CJ took that in. I mean
I would one hundred percent like backflip, slap my mouse button as I clicked
start on Devin Singletary. I Listen, man, guys got touchdowns two weeks

(47:06):
in a row in standards leagues,standard leagues. He was top five two
weeks in a row. It's prettyhard to not recommend a running back that's
doing that. He's over one hundredtwo weeks in a row, score touchdowns
two weeks in a row. Iwouldn't expect that trend to continue, not
if Pierce comes back, right,but I would definitely have a look Dell

(47:29):
and Nico. I would play bothof those guys. Dell is kind of
a monster. Touchdown was his lastthree games, right, He's got Davonte
Smith vibes going he does, andNico is really good too. Listen.
He didn't have huge numbers last week, but he had eleven targets cross seven
pastes. He was out the weekbefore it hurt. The week before that,

(47:49):
he scored a touchdown. I'd playedboth of those dudes. I had
no problem with him and Dalton Schultz. I mean, he scored a touchdown
last week. He's been a topend most of the year. I mean,
we talked about Van Ingram having howmany touchdowns one no, zero in
one fun that's five, right,and he has you know four and fifty

(48:14):
yards on the year, So yeah, I'm gonna, you know, be
pretty psyched about playing in Yeah.Before I go on my game, I
wanted to mention about the run gamefor Houston is I think part of the
reason we're starting to see success therebecause the first like eight weeks of the
season, they couldn't do anything onthe ground. But as soon as we
started seeing CD Shroud throw for fourfifty and four touchdowns, teams are like,

(48:37):
I guess we need to drop eightand now they can run. They
have to respect him now, yeah, I mean, and there's plenty of
tape on him and people are tryingto figure him out. And I'm telling
you, Randy, the kid's justgood. He's just good calm. He
just drops back in his calm.Yeah, no happy feet whatsoever. Yeah.
So I mean, even if DamianPierce does come back, if you've
got one of those two running backs, that there might yet be light at

(49:00):
the end of the tunnel if thedefenses have to start playing a little lighter
between the tackles. So even ifthere's two of them, they're still might
deal. Okay, all right,onto my game, which is gonna be
so much fun to not watch Saintsgoing to Atlanta. Dude, I put
this game on your list and Ialmost felt bad doing it. Not bad

(49:25):
enough to not do it. Well, somebody had to do it, might
as well be. Yeah, yeah, game. Don't get comfortable, all
right. I actually enjoyed putting thaton your list while I hate you.
All right, So for the Saints, really the only people that should even

(49:45):
be considered here are Alive and Kamara. I think Winston is going to be
the quarterback, right, I don'tknow. So the car is uh well,
still in protocol, but he couldbe out of protocol now, I
don't know. You don't think itmatters. I don't think either one of
those guys are going to be toptwenty five, so they probably shouldn't be
starting for you. Yeah, soI wouldn't even worry about it. But

(50:08):
Alave with Michael Thomas gone, isreally the only one that's gonna be catching
any balls twenty yards and shorter becauseshe heat is really only a deep threat,
so he's gonna get targeted more thanhe was before. Maybe worth a
pickup if you're really really desperate,go see if at Perry is on the
waiver wire, because he's he's nowthe wide receiver three on that team and

(50:30):
might do something. I don't know. Kamara have missed the first three games,
uh and is still a top tenfantasy running back, so you're definitely
gonna start him. Mentioned Shihead before. I think he's probably got flex value
because he could put up twenty fiveif he catches three deep balls, and
they might have to do it.You know, Jamis if he is starting,

(50:51):
is going to throw that rock.Taysom Hill had a stretch of like
four straight twenty plus point games andthen before they're by he put up like
a three burger, so three Yeah, you got like three point nine points.
So yeah, but that threat isalways there. It is there.
But you know, if you ifyou've got some injured tight ends and there's

(51:14):
there's a bunch from this year.If you're there's no Bie Weeks this week,
if it's between Tyler Conklin and TaysomHill, I'm playing Taysom Hill.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean alot of like if you've got d no,
I'm gonna start having ingerm there.But there's a lot of teams that
don't have a tight end worth adamn like Dan Bellinger on the Giants.
Hell Is he doing now. Soanother giant besides Saguon Barkley that's doing anything,

(51:38):
Uh, thank you. I restmy case, right, So Taysom
Hill probably worth playing if you area team that doesn't have a better sight
end, that doesn't really help much. But yeah, onto the Falcons here.
Uh, really the same old storythe entire year. I was talking
about how I don't like Arthur Smithearlier, and I think it's hard to

(52:00):
play any of these players unless he'snot there calling the place, or if
somebody else calling the plays, maybeit'll be better. But Heineke's dealing with
a hamstring or a knee or something. So I think Desmond ritters back under
the under center, which doesn't exciteme. I mean, Bijon's probably the

(52:21):
best prospect on this team, butthat doesn't mean anything. He could end
up with six points at some point. Somebody is gonna have to get their
head out of their ass and givethis guy the rock twenty five times a
game. You did think it's notgonna be this week if you want to
win the division, though, Imean, yeah, unless they made some
changes over the bye, I don'tthink it's gonna be much different. Well,

(52:45):
most teams use the bye week asto do with self audit. What
haven't we done well? Use ourskilled players? Yeah, exactly, So
there might be some hope, buteh, I don't really know. Bijon
is really the only one I'm confidentplaying. I have Drake London in a
bunch of leagues. I'm hopeful he'snot starting, though. I'm kind of

(53:07):
hoping he gets traded to a differentteam this offseason because they're not really using
him for anything. Kyle Pitts isconstantly outplayed by John new Smith on this
team. Yep. And even then, I'm not going to recommend you start
John new Smith, so stay awayfrom those guys. I would I would
start, I'll start, yeah witha choice. It's John new But but

(53:30):
it's bad and worse. Yeah exactly. And that's really it. They don't
have anybody else, Uh, dude. Bad news for you is they're not
going to trade Drake London. Iknow they're not, all right. So
the the good news about Baker Mayfieldin the Tampa Bay Bucks Colts game,
Baker Mayfield over the last five outof the last seven weeks has been a
top twelve quarterback. Wow. Toptwelve. Yeah, that's QB one.

(53:53):
That's QB one five out of thelast seven weeks. Indianapolis is third against
fantasy quarterbacks. Something's got to giveif you're in a super flex. Baker
Mayfield's a fine choice for a quarterback. Two. Hey, there's Coco.
Do you hear Coco Parked? Idid, h Yeah, But I don't
really have that much faith in himbeing able to, you know, approach

(54:17):
a thirty point game. Whatever temporaryexpectations there. Uh Rashad White for total
PPR points over the last month isRB one. He's he's not running a
whole lot, you know, buthe's he's catching a lot of balls.
So yeah, play play that,dude, for sure. Mike Evans has
a touchdown and four out of hislast five. Sure, I'll do that.

(54:37):
Chris Godwin is worth a flex play. His production is down. I
don't know if that's a Baker Mayfieldthing. I don't know if it's an
issue for him, no idea,but his his production is down from his
career really, But I would stillthrow him into a flex or a wide
receiver. Three if you have thatposition on your team. Kate Otton last

(54:58):
four weeks averaging a ten points agame, so you know he ain't Travis
Kelcey, but you know he'll getyou some ten points at least. Oh,
he doesn't fumble in the red toone. Oh maybe he does, but
oh not like Kelsey. He's gotTaylor on his mind as a problem.
Anyway, Look at the Indianapolis Colts. It's pretty easy think about it is.

(55:22):
When John Taylor was out, ZachMoss was actually really freaking good.
He had a stretch of a fewweeks there where he was, you know,
an RB one. But John Taylorcomes back, they still use Zach
Moss some. Taylor has three totaltouchdowns in the six weeks post injury.

(55:42):
Tampa Bay second against running backs inthe last month. So I'm not really
excited about either of these guys.They use both of them just enough to
keep the other guy from being usefulin fantasy, and they're not winning ball
games. So I would not necessarilyignore Jonathan Taylor, but I wouldn't expect
a lot out of him. LoveMichael Pittman. He's a wide receiver to

(56:02):
or flex over the past couple ofweeks, like Josh Downs too, didn't
do great against New England or Carolina, but has been solid was solid in
the five before that, I wouldgive him a flex play. Now it
all comes down to whether Gardner Minshewcan get the ball to the right uniform.
We'll see. But really it's it'sonly a couple of guys here,
Pittman and Downs and nobody else.Okay, I have past giants starts taking

(56:30):
one Barkley right, all right,Seriously, what else do I talk about?
You've got nothing, dude. AndI knew when I when I type
that into to the text message,I was like, this is going to
be a five second What else doI talk about? Yes, it was
a monster. I feel horrible forhim that he's on that team. He

(56:52):
deserves to be, you know,because if he was on a decent team,
not even a great team, adecent team. I mean, he's
he reminds me of La Daniel rightlea Danian Thomason. He's a fantastic athlete,
a fantastic running back. He's justin a terrible situation. And uh,

(57:14):
you know it's sad, but yeah, play sakuon. I'm out all
right? Then? Uh, wegot Pittsburgh against Cincinnati, two teams with
drastic changes since last week. Forthe Steelers, I think I might ride
the wave here with the Steelers playersand start him. I can't imagine the

(57:35):
sigh of relief that the locker roomhad when Mike Tomlan came in and said
we fired that punk bitch. Probablythe same sigh of relief that went all
through Vegas and Oakland. Oh yeah, Josh McDaniels was cut loose. Yeah,
I mean that offense has been horriblefor three years. I think they

(57:57):
have the running back coach calling theplays now. It's really hard to think
it could be worse than it waswith that in mind. Nag he's had
a couple of good games this year, not great games, but good games.
He might be worth putting in SinceNighties run defense isn't fantastic, it's
okay, so he might do something. Jalen Warren has been kind of carrying

(58:20):
the team on offense for the pastseveral weeks. He's definitely worth throwing in
there. He actually, I thinkhas more points on the season than Nag
he does, even though he's quoteunquote the backup, So he's definitely worth
putting in there. Uh. Bothof these receivers Deante Johnson, George Pickens,
they they're not really getting much throughthe air the past, I mean

(58:42):
the whole season so far. Butwith you know, different play calls,
different plays in general, they mightbe able to do something. So I
would optimistically put them in. PatFryemuth is back. We saw last season
he was a decent, decently largepart of the offense. He's been hurt
for a lot of this. Maybehe does something worth worth investigating. Can

(59:06):
he Pickett though, I don't knowif he's worth starting quite yet. The
skilled players catching the ball and takinghandoffs can do something, but I kind
of want to see it from KennyPickett first with this new offense, because
he's like quarterback thirty and there's acouple quarter I think. I think he's
quarterback thirty three out of thirty two. Yeah he is. Yeah, and

(59:27):
there's a couple of quarterbacks that haveonly played half the year. So on
the other side of things for theBengals, I'm pretty pessimistic. Actually,
Joe Burrow is done for this seasontears ligament in his throwing hand. We've
now got Jake Browning. Yes that'snot an insurance salesman. That's the starting
quarterback for the Bengals. Now,I don't I do I can't feel good

(59:53):
about starting anybody. I understand JamarChase is really good. So would you
rather play Browning or Timmy Boyle.He's gonna do some damage, a lot
of weapons, He's right, Sohe's no Joey Burrow, but yeah,
he's gonna have a lot to throwto he's I mean, but still,

(01:00:13):
if you're expecting Jamar Chase to gettwenty five points the game with bro does
he get fifteen with Brownie? Ifhe does, I would start him.
Yeah, So that's what I'm saying. I'm still starting guys, but I'm
not feeling great about it. Itmight be one of those you know,
he's down there somewhere, I'm justgonna chuck it, let him run under
it. It could be one ofthose situations. Yeah, But I mean,
it's not like Pittsburgh's defense is bad. It's really good. You don't

(01:00:37):
think he's going to be struggling witht J. Watt in his face the
whole game. Yeah, he'll he'llhave some trouble. The thing is the
the Bengals just have a lot ofweapons. So, like, I hear
what you're saying, You're not wrong. It's not going to be as good
as Burrow. Of course it's not. But I can't. I can't sit
those guys. I can't. Yeah, and I agree, I don't think

(01:00:58):
you sit them. But I'm notfeeling good about it. Because Burrow's got
the experience and the poise to bein the pocket even when he's getting rushed
at, to be able to makethrows accurately and as deep as they needs
me. I don't know if Brownie'sgot that same poise. So the same
exact situation for a different quarterback leadsto any incompletion or an interception, So

(01:01:21):
I don't know. We'll have tosee, of course, but I don't
feel great about it. Yeah,I wouldn't feel great about it either,
but I'd still play. I mean, I feel your trepidation. Yeah,
that's what I got that right.So you got the Panthers and the Titans,
so yeah, I mean, youcan't wait for you to name somebody

(01:01:44):
to start in this game, allright. So from the Carolina side,
the only person that would even comeclose to considering is Adam Feeling. He
had a stretch of five games earlyfrom like Week two to Week seven,
where he caught a touchdown in fourout of those five games and was over
one hundred yards and three of themeven in the last even the last game
against Dallas, he was eight foreleven for seventy four yards. So in

(01:02:04):
PPR that's fifteen point four points.That's flex right there, you know.
So the week game before that hehad like over ten points. So he's
worth a flex at best. Andhe's the only one wearing Panthers blue.
Who you can say that about fromthe Tennessee side. Will Levis in a
super flex league. He's a backend like quarterback two like fourteen points a

(01:02:28):
game if that in the last four. If you're looking for those kind of
numbers, Will's your guy. Youcan't play Derrick Henry her Harsh decreased.
You should usage at him. Teneleven carries a game. Used to be
a twenty five to thirty carry guya game. Again, they treat him.
I don't know if they're just that, like they had to have decent
offers because apparently Tennessee can't get goodgms. I don't know. And Spears,

(01:02:53):
it's not like Spears is getting twentycarries a game either. They're splitting
them almost evenly. So consequently,neither of them are worth playing for US.
DeAndre Hopkins uh is wide receiver sevenin his last four sixteen. Now,
I bet he tweeted about MVS droppingthat past. Oh shoot, what

(01:03:13):
did he say? It wasn't roughus like feel for my boy, you
know, blah blah blah. Butit's just like what could have been,
dude, Everybody who has ever watchedor played football when the ball scored it
out of that dude's hands, Likeif if d hop because there was a
lot of speculation he was gonna endup in casey h Like if he would

(01:03:35):
have went there, what could havebeen? Well, he's got Will Levis
and uh Mahomes has MVS. Well, we've been talking about the Chiefs here
in a little bit, so wecan dive into that whole thing if you
want to. But I'm I'm donewith this game. That's a couple of
guys, Okay, cool, Igot Bill's Eagles. So basically this is
a uh the opposite of the lastgame that I Eagles secondary is a mess.

(01:04:00):
You're definitely gonna play Josh Allen.He's got seven rushing touchdowns on the
year along with twelve sorry twenty twopassing touchdowns, so he's kind of dangerous
and I'm honestly shocked. I guessif the team was doing better, he'd
be higher in the MVP voting.Like he's got massive numbers, like fantasy

(01:04:27):
Wise, like like you're the Haveyou ever seen the meme where the dude's
behind the tree wearing the yellow thingand like rubbing his hands. Yeah,
yeah, like fantasy Wise, likeif you're looking for a quarterback, like,
that's what you do every week ifyou have Josh Allen. I mean,
the dude just constantly scores mad points. Last week he didn't have a
rushing touchdown. He was that he'sa quarterback five. You know, he's

(01:04:50):
awesome. You're gonna play it.I wouldn't touch the Buffalo running backs.
Eagles are very good against the run, unless there's unless you're the chief apparently,
well, unless you're the Chiefs inthe first half. Sure, but
you know, I mean listen,James Cook has been pretty good the past
couple of weeks, But I stillI still would fade him. If you

(01:05:12):
have to put him in a flexthat's all he gets. He cannot get
much higher than that. You're gonnaplay digs. Obviously. Gabe Davis will
probably do something, but he's notputting up numbers enough for me to recommend
him. And I would, youknow, do another backflip and smack my
mouth with an elbow to start,Dalton Kincaid, I want to see that

(01:05:35):
you attempt that backflip. The Eaglesare terrible against fantasy tight ends. You
know, just playing from the Eagleside, you're gonna want to play everybody
here too. Buffalo's defense is notwhat it used to be. It's still
pretty good. It's about average,right. The thing is, though,

(01:05:59):
they have a much better offense thanKansas City does. And I know that
sounds crazy, but they do theBills do. So. I think the
Eagle's gonna have to score a lotof points in this game in order to
win, and I have no doubtthat Jalen Hurts will be I have him
slated as my QB won this week. Honestly, he's gonna have to put

(01:06:23):
up They're gonna have to put upthirty points, twenty eight points, something
like that in order to win thisgame, and I have no doubt that
he's going to do that. Youwould definitely play him. I played Swift
as well. I know that he'shit or miss. But Buffalo is twenty
eighth against fantasy running backs, soI played him without hesitation. I'd played
both wide receivers obviously. I knowAj got held in check last week.

(01:06:45):
That was kind of by design.You know. Casey was just like,
hey, you're not gonna beat usand vout. The Smith's was a hold
of my veer. Dude, Ithink that if you guys are like me,
when you when you look at thefence and you see Boston Scott in
the backfield, you look, whatthe hell's Boston Scott doing out there?
Or is it just me? No? I feel like that too. And

(01:07:10):
I also Li said, I don'tknow what Brian Johnson's deal is with bubble
screens and or quarterback draws, butthere are other plays that you can run.
I've heard with you wait with yourtwo. Does anybody doubt that DeVonta
Smith could be a number one widereceiver in the NFL? No doubt?

(01:07:30):
So okay, so we have twoof them, So run a slit.
I got I got an idea sendreceivers past the first down marker, like
past it. So you're saying,is go past the sticks right and then
throw the ball on third and long. No, no, no, If

(01:07:53):
you don't get it, fine no, no no. On second twenty two,
we're gonna run a quarterback off tackle. Iie what We're gonna be everything,
But you're gonna play both of thoseguys obviously, Brown and Smith they
both meet the flex threshold and they'reprobably wide receiver one and two respectively for

(01:08:13):
this week. No Jackal Carker whatever. Yeah, all right, Uh,
here's just another snoozer, Cleveland goingto Denver. Really you think it's a
snoozer? Cleveland scored thirteen points lastweek and five in a row. Okayn

(01:08:36):
is the hottest team in the NFL. Denver Broncos. All right, sure
they beat some good teams. KansasCity who hasn't been in Kansas City though?
You know? Uh seven of theten teams they played, Yeah,
yeah, I really, I thinkit's just Cleveland. Their offense is pretty

(01:08:59):
bad with uh I don't even knowwhat his name is, dtruh. It
is nothing. I mean, Iguess they were playing. The Steelers have
a good defense. But it's notthat the Broncos don't have a good defense.
I'm not gonna recommend you start anybodyon the on the Browns really not
even Ford, I don't think so. Huh. He might have afflected ceiling,

(01:09:25):
but he was. I think itgonna get you like eight points,
maybe because dr can't really throw theball, so there's gonna be seven or
in the box can't really throw theball. They scored ten points last week.
Ten that's not good. Did theywin? Yeah? Because because because

(01:09:53):
of Matt Cannona's offense. Okay,you know, I'm not going to disagree
I but I think there you couldyou could probably you could. You could
start Forward in a flex, youcould start Cooper in a flex. But
you certainly have better options. Youhave to. Well, you know,
as far as dtr goes, everybodyknows that he wasn't you know, one

(01:10:14):
of the top tier guys coming inout of college. Bud. He played
at UCLA, which is a youknow, a big school, and they
played good opponents and all like that, and the kid was great there,
and he was great in the preseason. So I think the kid has skills
and the more he plays are betterhe's going to get. But I don't
think he's gonna do that great thisgame. Yeah, And so I don't
I don't want any Browns players onmy starting rosters in any of my leagues

(01:10:38):
this week. H take them tothe super Bowl, though I did right
before the show actually, and Imight again after the show. Nice.
Yeah from the Broncos a little differentstory. They've been winning games, as
you said, but the fantasy outputis kind of up and down. Javonta
Williams has put together a couple ofpretty good games with the past five six

(01:11:00):
weeks, but haven't really strung himtogether. It's like seventeen seventeen four,
then a twelve, then another four, Like it's not super consistent, but
because he's showing them they have thepotential, it might be worth a start.
Browns have a very good defense,but I think the Broncos offense is
getting better each week, and soI like his chances to put up another

(01:11:26):
at least Darby two game. That'sso I like that. Coland Sutton has
kind of had a similar trajectory,kind of up and down, put together
some good games and also some notgood games. Similar situation. It's tough
matchup, but I think he couldstill have a pretty decent game. Jerry
Judy has been kind of below averageall season. I mean, I think

(01:11:49):
he's had two decent games, buthe only caught like four passes on five
targets, so probably not worth starting. But he's got potential to do something
kind of boom or bust. Atthis point, he's mostly been busting.
Maybe not really worth it. RussellWilson, though, has been consistently QB
two material even when they weren't winninggames, was still putting up decent fantasy

(01:12:13):
numbers, and in every postgame interviewhe tries to find a way to say
Broncos country. Yeah he does.Man, he doesn't throw the Let's ride
in there, but he does sayBroncos Let's ride is implied. Yeah.
So I mean, I think youcould probably throw russ In at QB two
and be pretty happy with your performancefor the rest of the season because he

(01:12:35):
gets you seventeen points almost every weekand they don't have a tight end really,
so that's it. Yeah, Okay, so Chiefs Raiders. Raiders in
the past have had the Chief's number. We've seen this, but that was
the Derek Carr Raiders, who thehell knows what's gonna happen now. Now,
of course he can. You're notgoing to sit Patrick Mahomes, but

(01:12:57):
just know as you're playing him overthe last three games, they haven't had
they haven't scored a touchdown in thesecond half. And really, Pat Mahomes
is like quarterback twenty something, averagingthirteen point eight points per game in his
last three games played. There wasa bye week in there. Obviously you're

(01:13:18):
not going to sit him. Butsomething's going on with this offense? Why
what? Why would you not sithim? Like I hear you, but
is it because his name is PatrickMahomes. No, most receivers don't catch
footballs, man, it was aproblem. It was. The reason you
don't sit him is because four gamesago when he played the Charges, he

(01:13:39):
put up thirty seven all right,right, so you know if he continues
this way for the next four games, you go, okay, do I
have a better option? But amonth ago the dude was over thirty seven
points, So that's why you can'tsit him. I am shocked that he's
still in the MVP conversation. Honestly, I am, well, I think

(01:14:00):
to not put up numbers like thisover the past month to lose the Broncos.
Like, I'm shocked that he's numbertwo, I really am. Well,
it's mainly because you know, it'sthe name will get you there for
a while for sure. You know, when it comes time to vote and
you look at stats and you lookat body of work for the season,
he won't get there if this continues. So yeah, you know, because

(01:14:25):
of the possibilities, just the samereason you can't really sit to us,
because he's got these guys out therewho can produce for him. True,
they haven't been right at this point. I don't think he's really in this
serious conversation. He is, he'snumber two, right, He's neck and
neck with Jalen right because he's PatrickMahomes. But when it comes down to

(01:14:47):
you know, the actual people whovote for it, those people wouldn't put
him in at this point. Youknow, talking heads who have to fill
twenty four hours of content, Yes, they'll do it, you know,
unlike us, we have to fillan hour and a half of content and
we are talking about it for thesixth minute. But I would still play.
I have him in the league,and I'm gonna play him. But

(01:15:08):
you know, I'm not necessarily happyabout it, and I'm happy that he
didn't bust out of that funk lastweek. So there we go. Isaiah
Pacheco t D List in his lastthree rushing td list in his last five.
The yards are there, the scoringisn't. You probably have a better
option at running back than Isaiah paChecko. Dude looks great on the field,

(01:15:28):
he's just not getting it getting intothe end zone and he's not getting
into double digit points scoring for you. So if you gotta play him,
fine, temporary expectations. Looking atthe receivers, the wayne hell I play
himvs. I will play Rashid Rice. However, touchdown every other week and
this would be the week that he'ssupposed to score if he keeps that up.
The yards are okay, he hashigh targets, and probably he's the

(01:15:50):
number one receiver on this team.You know, Kadarius Tony's inconsistent, So
don't talk to me about sky Moore. Justin Watson looked great against the Eagles,
but he hasn't done anything up untilthen. So really it's Rashi Rice,
you know, not as a widereceiver one, but on your on
your starting roster somewhere, and regardlessof drops and fumbles and such, you

(01:16:13):
got to play Travis Kelcey no matterwhat. We know this Looking at the
Raiders, it's Josh Jacobs Kansas Citytwenty seven against running backs in their last
four games. Josh has been youknow, reasonable running back over the past
couple of games with Ayon O'Connell.But he's not going to be you know,
wide receiver one or anything anytime soon, just because the way the defenses

(01:16:36):
play him. Davonte Adams is continuingto do DeVante Adams things, So you
got to play that, dude.I'd like to see Michael Meyer a mayor.
Mayor Meyer, I've heard it bothways. Like to see him do
a little bit more, but atthis point he's really just a guy.
But for the Raiders, it's Josh, it's Davante and off you go.
Cool. Last game of the week, of the month of the year.

(01:16:58):
I think, right, Robbie,you don't have another one to do?
I do, and so do Iokay, Oh so I'm done? Nice?
Yeah, I have six games thisweek, fellas. Oh, well,
you guys suck. I have Ramscards. Kind of hard to play
a Ram, dude, I getit. You know you got Kyra Williams
coming back. I Stafford is aquarterback. I guess he has yet to

(01:17:23):
crack twenty points. Though. It'sbest game of the year was seventeen.
I kind of want to see morethere, So no pass. Kyraen's coming
back, but how will they usehim. He's expected to be back this
week and he'll be RB one.But okay, uh pooka sure like I

(01:17:46):
play him, but I'm not superexcited about it. I mean, he
had a great game last week seventyyards and a touchdown. The previous four
weeks didn't score. He did haveone hundred and fifty four yard game in
there against Pittsburgh, So okay,Cooper Cup's tanged up. He has a
not a high but he has alow ankle spring. So isn't it like

(01:18:08):
a foot injury at that point?I don't know. It's a low ankle
sprain. I don't know. Itis the first time I've ever heard that.
I've heard of high ankle sprains,like many many times, but I've
never heard and then just ankle sprainsand then high ankle sprains. Right,
this is a low ankle spray.Interesting, So I can't really recommend him.

(01:18:28):
I mean, he's got three catchesin the last two weeks, seven
in the last three weeks. Youknow, no, thanks. I love
Cooper Cup. I think he's oneof the best wide receivers in the NFL.
Wouldn't play him. Tyler Higbee isnot just a guy like his ceiling
is five receptions and when he doesthat, he gets yeah, nine points

(01:18:50):
maybe, But like the previous twoweeks, he has one catch, so
no thanks from the cardinal side.Would play Kyler Murray. Dude's balling man.
He's back to being himself. He'snot, you know, QB one
every week, but he was QBsix last week. I'll take it he

(01:19:13):
had one on the ground, onethrough the air. I would I would
roll him. I don't have aproblem with that. James Connor back in
action, seems to be healthy.I would wait and see you on this
guy if you if you have aflex fine. He's not a PPR monster,
so he's not gonna catch a lotof passes. This is pretty much

(01:19:33):
just a a standard league or aPPR flex kind of dude. But I
wouldn't get too excited about it.I want to see Hollywood get going now
the Kyler's back, but it's justnot happening. So the guy has six
catches, seven catches in his lastthree games. You're talking about five,

(01:19:55):
five and three points in PPR leaguescan't play that. Yeah, it's pretty
bad. Just can't just can't doit. He did score against Baltimore,
you know, so we had adecent game then, But yeah, I
can't recommend tretment pride. I can't. He just catches too many passes at
the tight end spot and he's dangerous. I mean, you know, he

(01:20:19):
had a touchdown on ninety five yardson ten catches against Baltimore and against Atlanta
he had a buck thirty one oneight catches. You know, in last
week he was targeted seven times,caught five of them for forty three.
Not great before a tight end.I will allow it. I would play.
Yeah, and if he cutches atouchdown last week. He has three

(01:20:40):
back to back really great games fora tight end. So but but he
didn't. He didn't, But buthe didn't. Just just a touchdown away,
all right. So this is mylast game. Battle of the confusing
teams is Baltimore versus the Chargers.All these teams should be really confusing,
well, they should be really good, but then you know, Baltimore louises

(01:21:01):
to the Colts. Yeah, theyscrewed the pooch occasionally, but the Baltimore
is pretty good. Yeah, yeah, they're. I mean they're if like
this season ended now, Baltimore wouldbe the one seed they would in the
AFC. It's like I told you, guys, I don't know who's good
this year. Yeah, but everybody'slike these teams seem to be at the

(01:21:23):
center of the like, this teamis really good, but then they lose
to a team that isn't allegedly isn'tvery good. That's the NFL, man.
But yeah, it's just it's justweird. He's lost to the Jets.
That's the one. God. Yeah, let's not bring that up.
Yeah, let's let's put that away. They lost to the Zach Wilson better

(01:21:45):
than the Timmy Boyle led Jets,is it? I don't know it.
It breaks my heart a little bitbecause they should be undefeated. Yeah,
it does make each game a littlebit less stressful to know that they're not
undefeated because they don't have the dressof being undefeated. I'd like to see
how it feels though. Yeah,it'd be all right with fair all right.

(01:22:10):
So for the Ravens, I don'tknow if you've heard about their quarterback,
lay Maar Jackson. I've heard ofhim long legs, fast, long
h So he's a pretty good quarterback. I don't know if you're aware if

(01:22:33):
he can't get above my homes,no question. Yeah, puts up crazy
numbers on the ground through the air. However, I think we expect a
little more from him this season.He's only had one game over three hundred
yards. Now he hasn't needed todo it every game, but I'm sure
his coaches would prefer to see himthrow more than run. Most of his

(01:22:56):
points are coming from the ground.So in a game against the Chargers,
you have, I think the worstrushing defense in the league, you can
feel pretty good about that. Inthat that same vein, you want to
go with Gus Edwards. Even withthe slight emergence of Keaton Mitchell past five
weeks, he has been top tenrunning back four times. He's scored at

(01:23:23):
least one touchdown every week for thepast five weeks. And if I do
it my math really quick here,he's got nine touchdowns in the past five
weeks. Jesus, that's crazy.And one of those weeks against Seattle,
he only had five carries. Sothe dude is scoring touchdowns like crazy.

(01:23:44):
So even if he's not getting youknow, between the thirties work. If
that's where Keaton Mitchell is getting hiswork, Okay, I'm fine. If
he's gonna score two three touchdowns agame, I'll take it. Sure.
So you're gonna start him mentioned Mitchell, I think he's probably worth starting to
lead a flex. He's not goingto get the short yards the goal line
work, but he's catching passes.He's you know, getting ten yard chunk

(01:24:08):
plays between the thirties. That beingsaid, starting him in a flexis last
week actually cost me a couple ofgames since he didn't get it done.
Yeah, well, I had himin my actual running back spot in a
game because because of bye weeks,so it could be it could have been
worse. But again, running defensewith the charges is horrible play. Anyone
that could potentially receive a handoff onthe Ravens this week. Pass catchers,

(01:24:32):
we I think we've said it prettymuch every week since week one that no
one's really great. I mean,they're better than the Chiefs receivers, but
the only the only reason is becausethey actually catch them all. They're about
the same skill level. I thinkreally nobody's more than a wide receiver three
at as a ceiling probably flexes.In reality, tight end situation is going

(01:24:58):
to be interesting Mark, and he'sdone for the season. I believe they
drafted us the chance he could comeback late, like playoffs late. Right,
Yeah. Yeah, they drafted guylast year, Isaiah Likely, and
people were a little confused because theyhad Andrews. But then in the preseason
last year and in a couple ofgames last year where Andrews heard, he

(01:25:19):
came in and did really really well. With that mind, I don't see
any reason why he doesn't step rightin and if not, performed to the
same level, pretty close to thesame level as Mark Andrews. So I
like likely this week. Nice,see what I did there? I do?
Yeah, So I think I thinkStevie Wonder could see what you were

(01:25:42):
doing there. I think so too. So that's what I got for the
Ravens. For the Chargers, reallyonly three guys. You got Austin Eckler.
Austin Eckler, Keenan Allen, JustinHerbert. How bad do you feel
for Justin Herbert? Really bad?Reality? I mean, how much money

(01:26:04):
is he making? I don't Idon't feel well all right? Football?
So he's a rich, good lookingguy in Los Angeles. His life probably
doesn't suck. Yeah, I'm justsaying, like, you know, yeah,
in the scope before the situation bebetter. Sure, but like,
do I feel bad for him?Now? There's a dude outside of the
stadium that has nothing as living ina cardboard box justin? Okay, all

(01:26:28):
right, well, how many touchdownsdid that guy through last week? You
want just the same the same amountthat Trevor Lawrence does usually. Oh,
he won just as many games lastweek as Justin. Herbert the guy in
the box, not Trevor Lawnce.That's that's a good point. Herbert is
phenomenal, scores a ton of fantasiesand points. Team cannot seem to win

(01:26:49):
a game. Bounces off your rookiereceiver's hands, bounces off Keenan Allen's chest.
Dude, yeah it is Keenan Allen. It's one of the best receivers
in the league, one of thebest hands in the league. Well,
two of the best happens, ithappens. Yeah, yeah, you're gonna
start those three Herbert Eckler, Keenan, nobody else. Really, that's pretty

(01:27:13):
much in alrighty then, so thelast game of the week, the Monday
night or the Chicago Bears going toMinnesota to play those Vikings. So looking
at justin fields, right, Sohe was out for four games and he
comes back and he only had onehundred and sixty nine yards, but he
was sixteen for twenty three. That'salmost seventy percent. That's pretty damn good.

(01:27:34):
He had a touchdown, no picks, you know. So they ended
up losing the game to Detroit atthe end. But you know, he
didn't play defense. There's nothing hecould do. And you go, okay,
well that's not a great day.But the dude also had one hundred
and four rushing yards for God's sake. Yeah, that's all right. Yeah,
so he's over twenty points. He'stwenty one point six points. So

(01:27:55):
for a guy just coming off ofinjury, yeah, I kind of like
it. So yeah, I'm togive that dude the nod if you don't
mind. Look at the at therunning backs here, Khalil Herbert's back.
He carried the ball sixteen times forthirty five yards against Detroit. Ooh right,
Rochewan, you know snipes five orsix carries a game. Deontay Foreman,
the guy who should you know,I know all those guys are good.

(01:28:16):
I get it. Deontay Foreman againstCarolina a couple of weeks ago,
twenty one carries eighty yards a touchdown. He's got a touchdown each of the
last two weeks, but he onlygot six carries last week for fourteen yards.
Obviously terrible. I feel for thatdude. He was on the practice
squad and healthy scratches early in theseason, comes in and just you know,

(01:28:40):
lights it up in a couple ofgames. Had a couple of touchdowns
against Vegas. Three touchdowns against Vegas, actually he caught one. But now
that those other two guys are back, you can't play any of them with
any confidence. I mean, youknow, in a couple of situations,
I still have to roll Foreman,but I know that Herbert's going to get
more of the case as he getshealthier and more into the flow. So

(01:29:02):
at this point this week, Ican't start any of them with confidence.
DJ Moore has fallen off a bitproduction wise, but you know, the
possibilities for him are always there,So I can't sit that guy. And
I'm gonna play Cole Kmet too.He's been the tight end five over the
last four weeks in PPR. Sohe's not just a guy. So I'm

(01:29:23):
gonna do that. So on theother side, you got the vikings.
Josh Dobbs. Just looking at thisguy's stats, I'm amazed. Just okay,
look at the last four weeks.Dude's got six touchdowns in the last
four weeks, does have three picks, and this is over two teams.
But the amazing stat for me aboutDobbs is and of course if you got

(01:29:43):
him, you're playing him. Buthe has a rushing touchdown in each of
the last five weeks, scored againstSeattle, against Baltimore, Atlanta, New
Orleans, and Denver. You don'tthink he's gonna get in against Chicago with
their shitty run defense. Come on, I'm going with yes, Yeah,
I am too. So yeah,I'm gonna do a triple gainer, double

(01:30:04):
axle backflip, and I'm gonna I'mgonna hit the mouse with my nose on
the way through to start. JoshDobbs, Uh, yeah, if Jefferson
is up, which Robbie and Iwere talking earlier, were agree that he's
probably not gonna be If he's up, of course you play him. If
you know Addison, you play thatdude, and TJ. Hockinson's tight end

(01:30:27):
one over the last month, soa lot to like about this Vikings offense.
Just the running backs ain't ain't partof that? Uh So yeah,
start Hockinson and hopefully Jefferson's back.Hopefully that would be fantastic and them's beat
them games. All right, Sowe have some we have some questions out

(01:30:49):
of that discord, So go ahead, dude. Uh Thumper says, what
method or cry theory you guys needto pick or streaming defenses? Is a
purity match, as in, whoever'splaying the Jets? Where is there some
other magic sauceware metric? What it'sfor me? Well, you could you
could look and say, okay,which team is playing the Jets, and

(01:31:10):
you probably do okay there, ButI'm really looking to see which team has
scored more points because it doesn't youknow, winning the game doesn't get you
much, and if you shut ateam out in some places, you get
ten. I'm looking for a teamthat you know, has ballhawks and gets
gets interceptions and you know, forcesfumbles and those sorts of things. I
want those teams in lieu of that. Then I'll take the team playing the

(01:31:32):
worst offense. Yeah, and that'stypically what I be gause. Pretty much
every team has a pass rusher andballhawk of some sort. But you know,
if the team's playing the Giants,if they were playing the Cardinals before
Kyler took over and before Dobbs reallyyou know, got into his stride,

(01:31:53):
like you expect those offenses to makemistakes and turn the ball over and the
offensive line to be bad and giveup sacks. That's what I was looking
for, is know me how Istream my defenses? Sames, no magic,
Sawcelile, no man I. It'snot something I put a whole lot

(01:32:13):
of thought into. Like if I'mtypically I have a defense that I'm just
rolling with right now. This yearI targeted Casey. I have Casey in
a bunch of leagues. You know, a lot of people let them slide
in drafts, So yeah, Idrafted them. They're pretty good. When
they were on by, I lookedaround and was like, you know who's

(01:32:34):
playing who? Oh? Do theyhave a backup coming in? Is it
the Raiders like whatever? I meanseriously, or the Giants or like whomever
like that. That's basically what Iand I don't really put a lot of
thought into it, I just go, Okay, I run those guys,
you know earlier in the year,are they playing Denver? Okay, I'll

(01:32:54):
take them. Yeah. Well,you know, I never get a good
defense to stick with because you know, some guys start grabbing those in the
twelfth, thirteenth round and I'm justnot ready to get a defense yet.
So I never get the Niners,I never get the Eagles. I never
get the Patriots back in the day. So yeah, that's pretty much it.
Guy, do you want me todo the next one? You can
if you like Big Bulla says gents, I need to win out. Yeah,

(01:33:17):
me too. So I'm looking forsome mediocre advice. It's a half
point peeper. So pick two widereceivers from this stack. You ready,
Addison in Chicago, DeVante versus Buffalo. That would be Smith, Romeo Dobbs
at Detroit, Myers at CAC Londonat New Orleans. I think, yeah,

(01:33:39):
yeah, I was gonna go inreverse order, so I remember them.
But yeah, I'm pretty sure it'sthe first two. Yeah, no
question. Pick a running back andone flex out of this stack. Remandre
at the Giants, Bijeon at Detroit, Charbonnet at San Francisco, any of
the wide receivers left over. Idon't feel great about it, but I

(01:34:00):
think you have to play b Johnbecause you need a running back. Yeah.
Yeah. And I wouldn't play sharbonA against San Francisco. I wouldn't
play Stevenson. I'd pick a differentwide receiver, probably maybe Dobbs against Detroit.
Probably Dobbs against Detroit. Yeah,I agree. I mean, I'm
not gonna play Jacoby against k Cbecause I don't trust Connell and the whole
Focond question just makes me so happy. Uh, Titan Ingram, Evan Ingram

(01:34:25):
or Tyreek, I'm sorry, notTyreek or or Taysom Hill. Yeah,
Taysom Robbie, I mean probably Ingram. Probably haven't Ingram, I play Taysoon
Mill. Taysom's got that that factor. I would play Taysoon Mill. What's
Ingram five points? I guess itis a half point PPR. Yeah,

(01:34:47):
I probably do taste them. Ifit was a full PPR, probably probably
tas them too. Yeah. Iprobably play Tayso because really, unless you
unless you've got I mean, Ingramlast year was one of those guys,
but he's not. He's not topten now, is he right, No,
he's got he's got one fumble andzero touchdowns. Yeah, so I'll

(01:35:09):
roll the dice and it's going tobe a Taysom Hill week and he'll get,
you know, a few runs andmay be a pass. What the
hell you know? If he doesn'thave that day and he and Taysom Hill
has three points? Right, youlost two points? Yeah? But the
upside, oh boys, the upsize. Other league pick a running back and

(01:35:30):
a flex are White at Indianapolis,Charbonnet at Frisco, A Chain at Jets.
Chandler it's Tie Chandler at Chicago,d Johnson at Cincinnati, Hinge assuming
he's fully healthy. Man, Idon't think you cannot put. Yeah,

(01:35:50):
I think he kind of got todo that. And Sean White's really good
at that. I play White flex. Yeah, I agree with that.
So it's away. So there wego. Dynasty Hugh for currently competitive team
with SOLA future picks, would youtrade Keaton Mitchell and a twenty twenty five
first for Josh Jacobs? So KeatonMitchell is neither here nor there. He's

(01:36:15):
had a couple of good games forBaltimore. Maybe he's great, maybe he's
not. I wouldn't trade a firstfor Josh Jacobs. So to answer your
question, if you take Keaton Mitchellout of it, I wouldn't just I
wouldn't even trade a first for JoshJacobs, even if it's even though it's
two years from now, right.I mean, if you if you're pushing

(01:36:38):
to compete, if you have achance to win the whole thing, I
think you could probably do that.What is dude, what is Jacob's giving
you right now? Like he isgood, but I don't think I don't
not a first man. Well,if you've got a great roster and you're
and your your RB two is AntonioGipps, I need more information. So

(01:37:02):
he says, competitive team with solidfuture picks. What does that mean?
I need more information? My firstMy initial reaction is never get rid of
your first round draft picks in ain a dynasty league. Well, here's
here's the thing, and Kevin andI were talking about this before we start
recording. Josh Jacobs is young enoughthat if you trade your first for him,

(01:37:25):
even if it was twenty five firstfor Josh Jacobs, by the time
you get to twenty is twenty fivewhere you'd have that pick, Jacobs is
still going to be playing, soyou still have the guy on the twenty
five twenty five twenty five? Ishe twenty five? I think so,
So he's twenty seven to twenty eightat that point. Yeah, which is
Kamara? Would you take Kamara rightnow? Bostin Eckler, Christian McCaffrey,

(01:37:48):
that type of guy would I take? Yeah, But Josh Jacobs is not.
First of all, don't put ChristopMcCaffrey in the same But I'm just
saying it's a guy that age.Fine, but you know Danny the mailman
down the street is that age too, But he's not in the same conversation
with Christo McCaffrey. Sure, solisten, I just don't if Jacobs was

(01:38:12):
on a different team, if hewas more consistent, he might be by
then. I don't know why yougotta bring Danny to it. Be Sorry,
Danny, he might be, ButI think Mitchell's got some value and
that twenty twenty five first just thathurts my feelings. No, yeah,
I'm saying, no, I wouldn'ttrade both of them. No, I

(01:38:34):
wouldn't trade both of them for Jacobs. If you want Jacobs, trade just
the first for Jacobs, I wouldI would leave Mitchell out of it,
because the Ravens running back situation afterthis year is pretty cloudy. Gus said
was going to be twenty nine.Jack Dobbins is coming off of his second
major injury that's gonna require surgery andrehab, and it's a contract year from

(01:38:57):
him. He's not going to bewith the team probably. I think Mitchell's
going to be the only running backto carry over year to year, so
he might be the guy next year. You don't know that, so I
don't think it's worth giving him up. I say, if you're pushing for
the championship and you want to tradeto pick two years from now for a
running back that can win it foryou, I say, go for it.
Well, I'll say this because Jacob'srunning back though he's RB five.

(01:39:21):
Yes, I had him on myDynasty team. Did what do you are?
My guid team? League team?What did you do last week?
Is he that guy got your asskicked out? Is what you did?
What do you do? He hadlike six points, well before that,
he had thirteen before they had twentytwo and then seventeen. Like, I
know he's bad. I know he'shaving a decent year, but he's not

(01:39:45):
first round pickworthy in my opinion.Well, let me ask you this long.
Let me tell you about a tradeI executed a couple of weeks ago
in the Diamond Dogs League, whichyou're not in. I traded. I
gave away Marvin twenty twenty four first, twenty twenty four second, and at
twenty twenty five first, so basicallymy first for the next couple of years

(01:40:09):
for Rokwan Smith linebacker Baltimore, TJ. Hockinson tight end Minnesota, and Rashad
White running back Tampa Bay. Now, I'm probably gonna win this league behind
that trade because I improved my teamgreatly and these guys are also so.
But you just you two of thenot necessarily White, but two of those

(01:40:31):
players are at the top of theirgame, right, So those are the
two number one picks, right,They're going to be at the top of
their game in twenty twenty four andtwenty twenty five when those first round picks
get exchanged, and White potentially couldbe I think he's a solid RB two,
right, So next year when Igive away that second round pick,
he'll still be an RB two.So that's the second round. I'm okay

(01:40:54):
with that, and that's me andMarvin Mims is just a toss in for
giggles. But that's what I lookedat, is like, Okay, in
twenty two twenty four first round,is world Kwan Smith or TJ. Hockins
and worth that first round? Absolutely? In this case, I don't know
that Josh is worth a twenty twentyfive first two years from now. Feeling
yeah, so i'd I'd like tohave keithon Mitchell and that first. But

(01:41:17):
if if this dude or person abooty short so could be anybody things that
Josh Jacobs is going to take themover the top to win that league and
they're comfortable with it, I saygo for it. But like you said,
we need more information. Faith.If they put their faith in a
raider, well that's that's that's afair that's yeah. I think that's like

(01:41:41):
if that name, if that namewas someone on a team that was really,
really good, let's say it wasChristian McCaffery, I would one be
all over it. But it's not. Yeah, it's it's last year's rushing
champ with a rookie. Yeah,what's going on with that organization? No?
Thank you, I don't think.I don't think Dash Jacobs pushed you

(01:42:02):
over the top. I don't.I don't. Yeah, if you're willing
to give a twenty twenty five first, you can probably do better than Josh
Jacobs. Yeah. And the thingis, I need way more information booty
shorts like hit us with like whatyour whole team is. Let us look
at the league, like who you'recompeting with? Where you are at this
point? Yeah, this is aclass four year social Yeah, mother's maiden

(01:42:26):
name? I need routing and bankaccount numbers? Your first car, this
the street you grew up on.Who was your childhood friend? What was
the name of your first pet?Yeah? Anyway, sorry buddy, Yeah,
auto draft, go ahead, Weektwelve, Thank you, Hello fellas,
crunch time. You bet you halfpoint t for here? Team one?

(01:42:46):
Two wide receivers out of this stackReid, Downs, Cooper, do,
Mario Douglas or Godwin not the Patriot. So I would play Jayden Reid,
Yes, and I'd be happy aboutplaying Josh Downs, Yeah, I
would. That would be optimistic.I wouldn't be happy. Well, I
can't play Godwin. Yeah, readingDowns? Uh? And a flex ty

(01:43:14):
Chandler, Keaton, Mitchell or anyof the remaining wide receivers. Well,
if it's between those two, it'sit's Mitchell and and a and a finger
cross. Yeah yeah, I playedMitchell. Yeah, Team two one running
back into flex, James Cook,Isaiah Pa Checko, Keith Mitchell, Zach
Charbonnette to Mario Douglas McBride, Kittlingis Kittle is the other tight end.

(01:43:38):
So you're gonna play McBride, You'renot gonna play a tight end in the
flex. I'll like Pa Checko againstthe Raiders. Yeah, Checko for sure.
Yeah, but again no touchdowns.You know he'll get you eighty yards.
Yeah, that's flexworthy. I playedPacheco and probably Mitchell. I wouldn't
play Cook this week. I wouldn'tplay in Frisco. I'd be all over

(01:44:00):
sharp. It's but they are playingfor Risco. So I don't hate but
Checko here. But you know,Keith Mitchell is also somewhat compelling in there
because you know, if he breaksone, he's going ain't nobody catching him.
And with Reek Hills on the field, Thank you and best to your
teams and best of your teams andyour families on this holiday eve. So

(01:44:25):
I do have a question, Oh, you do have a question. Yeah,
this is from my own lineup.I didn't know if there was anymore.
I just wanted to. So you'regonna ask us about your lineup?
I am, yeah, because isit a league we're in. It's not
a league. On him, wecan't really He's he's actually live in the
studio so I can hang up onyou. Yeah. So this league I'm

(01:44:45):
in with with my friends. Theloser of this league has to do the
hot Ones challenge, and uh,you eat hot wings in increasing levels of
spices. And so I'm trying notto really help you lose this. No,
I'm not going to help you withdude. I'm on the opposite side
of this fence. So wait,man, hey, lyell. Initially we
thought the punishment for losing this leaguewould be the waffle house challenge. You

(01:45:08):
familiar with that, I am,But that's much easier than the hot Ones.
I don't know. I just agreebecause like, I'm okay, you
can hang out, man. Theyhave a bathroom there, you can hang
out, you can eat as manywaffles as you want. Knocks an hour
off, dude, you're gonna needthat bathroom and eating those waffles. Well,
I mean, I'm just saying like, oh, yeah, yeah,
you have, you have twenty fourhours. Like I could definitely eat eat

(01:45:31):
twelve waffles and hang out in thewaffle house for twelve hours. Right,
that's not that bad, dude,if you in the morning to night.
I was gonna ask you if you'vespent an overnight been in in a waffle
house overnight at all? Ever?No, but I've been at a waffle
house in the middle of the night. That's what I mean. I've been
there at three am. Yeah,it's it's an experience because you get you

(01:45:56):
get other people who are at awaffle house at three am. I was
in a waffle house at three am. And uh, this was not that
long ago. This would have beenlike four or five years ago. And
everybody, and I don't I'm notexaggerating, everyone was smoking and it was
not legal. So you're talking aboutcigarettes, not not we Yeah, yeah,

(01:46:20):
everybody was smoking cigarettes. Yes,interesting, it was horrible, nothing
like the old extinguished but in thestack of pancakes, you know, that's
a good look for you. Yeah, and it was. It was right
in uh right in Maryland. Ye, right in Elpton. Huh. That's
what I've been to. Crazy weird, So my question. Go ahead,

(01:46:42):
Uh, feel free to give dissentingadvice if you'd like. But I'm in
third in this league out of ten, so I'm sitting pretty well. But
I'd like to win the whole thingso i can brag to my friends.
Who's losing. The loser is someoneyou've never met before. But Kyle was
second last. Right now, Iwant to be involved in the preparation of
the wings. I just want towatch you eat a bunch of hot wings.

(01:47:04):
I'm burning your mouth. Well that'snot like that, but I will
give you my honest opinion. Allright. So I have a bunch of
guys on this on my team herethat are similar in production, and I'm
just trying to pick who the winneris going to be this week. I
suggest you drag this out as longas you can. I'm going to.

(01:47:24):
So I'm looking to select my secondreceiver slot and my flex. I'll do
the receivers first. I have topick from Adam Thielen, Terry McLaurin,
Christian Kirk, Jordan Addison, andTank Dell. How many how many spots
you have a receiver and a flex. So I have those five receivers,

(01:47:47):
and then also Ramandre Stevenson. I'mplaying Tank Dell. I would play Tank
Dell, and I would not playRemadre. I would play probably Addison.
Yeah, Addison for sure, probably, And it doesn't matter whether or not
Jefferson's back. If he's back,I'm playing him. If he's not back,
I'm playing Kay. Yeah. Ihad tanked Ellen with Feeling in the

(01:48:10):
flex, but if I was goingto switch, it probably was going to
be Addison. I think adamson ceilingis higher than feelings. Yeah, this
is a PPR, and Feeling hasbeen known to catch nine passes, which
is why I had him in there. But I guess yeah, all right
then and that beat the questions,all right, So right, gobble gobble,

(01:48:35):
I mean I usually do. Ijust try to keep you know,
keep on though. Happy holiday,have a holiday, sir, nice.
So I know you don't care aboutthis, Lyle. But in season Hard
Knocks is on HBO or mad now. It just dropped yesterday. They do

(01:48:59):
in season and Amazon doesn't see.No, they got the Dolphins. They
did preseason Hard Knocks with the Jets, so they got so tua is you
know before the game, you slappingeverybody's hands and saying have a day.
Have a day, Have a day. I thought of you immediately at that
clip, and I put it in. Oh that's awesome. Yeah, that's
