Episode Transcript

(00:01):
It's time for the fantasy football guyslike a hot night in Tijuana. They're
the Donkey Show of fantasy football.We need new openers here. They are
Lyle con Keel and Kevin Moore,the Fantasy football guys, and Robbie.

(00:22):
Yes, that's right with the fantasyfootball guys. Kevin, was that it?
Ah? You talked over his closer. I thought he said, Now

(00:42):
come on, do it again.I want to hear the whole thing.
Just do the last part ale allright, and I'm once again raw Dog
in the episode. No, youcan't re raw Dog. Stop me raw
Dog. Yeah, you put someprotection on me, then you get you
get a single all dog dude,What the hell? Yeah, you don't
get the re raw Dog bro.No, uh, I mean I'm calling

(01:07):
sang. I'm starting to think you'renot doing preps so you can you can
raw Dog? Yeah? Yeah,you think I would do that? Yes?
I do. That's not crazy.Oh, it's definitely lazy, but
it's not intentional. Well let's let'sput it there. Are you just always
raw Dog in the episode? Now? Is it every week you're gonna raw

(01:27):
Dog? Would you like that?No? I think of a lot of
things. I would like most ofthem involved in your mouth? Damn,
dude, I guess he's twenty five. It's weird, but it's not only
because you've known him since he waslike two years old. I couldn't help
that makes it weird. Yeah whatever, Yeah, uh, but you know,

(01:52):
come on, you can't raw dogevery week. I'll come up with
something new next week, thank god. Actually, I don't know. Maybe
Rido's story about some football or something, all some conclusions opinions that would be
pretty good. Yeah, what ifyou analyzed the episode? Did you say

(02:12):
analyzed? I said it was araw dogging. I've heard it both ways.
Yeah, all right, Uh,let's let's I want to talk about
something here. We've got let's getoff the raw dog in a Robbie's mouth
if we could. I mean,anyway, Uh, is it just me?
Or is there uh? This year? Is there is there a situation

(02:34):
where more backup quarterbacks uh seem tobe playing than usual? I haven't actually
looked at stats on this, butlet's run down the list here real quick.
AFC East. Uh, you've gotthe the Jets who had who started
started a different guy, but nowthey're bringing the new the old guy back
so it's not not due to injury, it's just due to awfulness. So

(02:55):
the Steelers now are out of KennyPickett, right, They're gonna have a
Mitch Trubisky, so that that's abackup. The Browns don't have to Shawn
now. Now they're playing Joe Flacco. For God's sake. They've actually have
played four quarterbacks this year. TheBengals are out of Borrow and now Browning
is actually he actually played pretty goodthe other night. He did play well.

(03:16):
Jacksonville is now at least going tomiss some time with Tee Law,
so we have C. J.Bethard going to be in there. The
Colts, they've been going with Minshewfor most of the year. The Titans
went off of Tannehill actually played acouple of Elik games, and then now

(03:38):
they've gone with Will Levis. SoI don't know if you can call that
a backup quarterback because he's now justthe new starter. I don't know,
but they went through some quarterbacks shenanigansthis year and the AFC West. You
know, the Raiders don't have Garoppoloanymore. They're playing the kid that him.
You didn't get hurt when the newcoach took over, they benched him.

(04:00):
Well, no, Garoppolo got hurtinitially, did get hurt initially?
Yeah, yeah, but they youknow, now he's you know, they're
still just going with a j Chiefs, Broncos and Chargers are still playing their
guy. Eagles have been pretty good. They did have Mariota last week,
but the Giants are are don't haveDanny Jones anymore. Uh. The NFC
East is is pretty struggle. What'sthat Tommy Cutlets, Yeah, I got

(04:27):
the pass in Paisanu Right, Sothe Vikings are out of cousins and now
have Dobbs, you know, apparentlyhe's barely holding onto the gigh. The
Bears have had to play a coupleof h few games of a backup quarterback.
Falcons actually benched a guy, butthat's not due to injury. Baker

(04:47):
has been okay all year. TheSaints continue to go through his car up,
his car down? Is it goingto be Taysom Hills? Is it
going to be Jameis Winston? They'rethey're fighting with that this week. Uh
yeah, the Rams, you know, we were out of Stafford for a
few weeks, and the Cardinals lostDobbs not due to injury, but due

(05:09):
to trade and and yeah. Soit just seems to me like there's the
interesting to look back and see howmany quarterbacks throughout the years, for every
year had taken a snap at startright as the starter. Yeah, and
we're not through with it. Imean, you know, there could be
several more backups coming into to playthe rest of the year. Sure.

(05:31):
Bad news is most of these backupsthat come in are not fantasy worthy kids.
I mean that's to be expected forthe most part. Yeah, so
it's uh for for most people thelast week of the regular season. So
you got to get in now ordon't be in at all. By the
way, on our reddit page,the reddit slash r slash TFFG, I

(05:54):
did see that E Ray posted thathe listened to the Fantasy Football Guys here
for fifteen hundred and nine minutes.He's We're his number one podcast at twenty
twenty three. But it says heis a top two percent fan. That
means there's somebody out there who's thetop one percent. I just whoever that

(06:18):
person is. I only have tosay, you really need to get out
more because yeah, or ma'am,I mean, you know, yeah,
but probably probably, sir, let'sbe honest, but yeah, it's uh,
fifteen hundred minutes this year only getsyou top two percent. Yeah,

(06:39):
just correct. I love it.So yeah, if you if you haven't,
if you're waiting for a win thisweek to make the playoffs, you're
probably a little bit nervous. Iwill say I have made Round three of
the scott Fish Bowl playoffs. Yeah, it's not bad. I don't think
there's a prize at the end otherthan you get to pat your self on

(07:00):
the back. But yeah, it'skind of nice being there. It's not
not quite as nerve racking as theG League, but it's it's close.
So see what you think about this, lyle. Robbie and I are in
a dynasty league where one of thepeople today posted that the he's in he's
right now is two wins behind meand another player, but he is between

(07:27):
you know, he's he's the higherscore between us. So a couple of
years ago, before Robbie and Iwere in this league, the league voted
to have the sixth spot claimed bythe high scorer, right if they weren't
already in, if they weren't alreadyfive spots top, Yeah, the top
five spots, so I could potentiallylose the sixth playoff spot to a guy

(07:51):
with three fewer wins than me.I mean, if the league voted for
it. It's in the rules.Yeah, think it's probably stupid. It
is absolutely stupid. It's like ifhe's the highest scorer in the league,
well not the league playoffs. Okay, so he's just a higher score than
you. He's a higher score ofthe people not already lost his seven lowests.

(08:13):
Yeah, the seven Yeah, Imean, I get it. It's
in the rules, so okay,it's not any rules actually voted for it.
So it's long. It was votedin twenty twenty one. I can
tell you what it's going to bevoted the f out this coming off season.
Okay, well yeah, or Iwon't have to worry about it anymore.
I know at least one vote that'sgoing to go against you. Well,

(08:33):
I I tend to it. Yeah, that's true, he's going to
vote for it. I tend tonot want to be in the leagues with
silly ass rules. So if you'regoing to say, oh, well if
you have, you know, ifyou have two better games than me,
you I'll score me by a pointwhatever, then you get the six playoffs
spot even though I have three better, three more wins than you. That

(08:54):
to me, I think the ruleis silly. Yes, yeah, is
it the rule? Yes? Yeah, Well the funny thing is is is
that it was It's actually not inthe playoff rules. It was like voted
in a couple of years ago.And you have to like dig deep into
the comments of the league to goback in three league histories. You have
to go back in the system andthen check the pinned messages from that a

(09:16):
lot of I'm an eleventh dude,I'm out of it, So consider just
scoring more points and getting good Well, you know, I thought, you
know, it was all about wins. You know, you get the wins
and you're in it should be.But that's not. Apparently that's not the
league you're in, and I lovefinding that out Week fourteen playing in that

(09:37):
league. I guess I don't know. Maybe the commission, let you know,
rules be known a little questionable.So anyway, so yeah, I
have no idea, probably not.I even I don't even know how I
am in this league, and quitefrankly, I don't even know who the

(09:58):
commission is. Robbie, Just likeHey, there's an open spot on this
you want to get in. AndI was like, yeah, when's the
draft tomorrow, let's do it,you know. So anyway, Yeah,
I just don't play in it nextyear if they don't change the stupid rules.
Yeah, can't do stupid rules.Anyway, enough bitching on my part,
well for now anyway, as Romawould say, b wording right.

(10:20):
I remember Super Bowl last year?Oh yeah, LFG or Roman like you
know, just popped out with LFG. But he didn't say the letters and
I was like, oh, it'slike, well, I mean, it
was funny at first, but thenhe just kept saying it. And it's
like, all right, man,I'm gonna point at you, let you
know when it's time. Yeah.But whenever I'm watching the Eagles here,

(10:43):
he'll hear me screaming at the TVand he'll run back and he'll be like
FG and I'm like LFG and he'llbe like that's fuck o nice, you
know. So yeah, he's intoit now, beautiful. So I have
apologized to it to both of mysons a few times for dragging them into
this life. Dudet one out.They're they're just not a very good football

(11:05):
team. But they've gotten away witha bunch of stuff this year. They're
pretty good. They're better than most. They're gonna get destroyed by the Cowboys
this week. Yeah. The thething for me is is I I I
love watching football. I just hatewatching the Eagles. Yeah, you know,
because uh it's w W. Atthis point, it's hard for me

(11:26):
to not think that the NFL isorchestrating certain things. I don't think they
can control the full game. There'stoo many moving parts. They try to
influence them. Yeah, I thinkthey do. And it's not it's not
just it's not about the Eagles atall. I just watch what's going on
about around the league and I'm like, oh, that was a convenient turn
of events. So the next week'sgame gets a lot of rating. Yeah,

(11:50):
you know, you know, SundayNight football now is Eagles Dallas for
the division. Come on, youknow, after after watching and listen,
I'm not complaining Dallas played a goodgame, but after watching like Dallas getting
marched down the field on p Icalls, yeah against the Seahawks, against
the Seahawks and score a touchdown,there was no way that the NFL was

(12:11):
gonna let Dallas lose that game.And I'm not saying that they didn't play
well and Prescott was amazing. I'mnot trying to take anything away from them.
I'm really not. But it justseems like, dude, what the
Cowboys lead the league in first downsby penalty? There you go. They

(12:33):
had I think fifty five yards ofpenalties on that last drive to win the
game. I mean, it's justcrazy. Yeah, all right, what
are we doing? And some ofthose PI listen, some of them were
legit holding and stuff and legit PI, but some of them definitely weren't.
And I saw some stuff in theEagles game that was PS. I see

(12:54):
some stuff in every game that II me too, And that's why I
think. That's why, that's whyI'm pulling anyone. Listen. I'm not
asking you if it would disappoint you, And I'm not talking to YouTube,
I'm talking to listeners. I'm notasking if it would disappoint you. I'm
not asking if you'd make me mad. I'm asking you to put your thinking
cap on and be logical. Wouldit actually surprise you if the NFL was

(13:18):
trying to influence games, to getratings up right, to create games well
NBA has definitely done it. Yeah, they and MLB too. They get
really disappointed this last World Series.They were furious nobody watched it. Yeah,
what two Texas teams in right,No, it was Arizona Diamondbacks Rangers.

(13:43):
If it would have been Houston Phillyagain, they would have got massive
ratings. They were furious about it. Yeah, because you care. I
mean there's like eight people who careabout the Diamondbacks and the Rangers. I'm
talking about cumulative, not just foreach team, right, Like, listen
and crats to both teams they playedwell, all that kind of stuff.

(14:03):
Good for you for not acquiescing.I'm just saying it seems like it's not
totally on the up and up.And if that's the case, I don't
want to watch it anymore. Dude, we know this is true about college
football. Look, look what's goingon with the playoffs. Like, it's
just it just makes me crazy.Nobody wants to watch Florida State, but

(14:26):
people watch Alabama Michigan. You betnobody's gonna watch Nobody's gonna watch Michigan Florida
State. Not fair? Fair?Right? Plus plus Georgia has been the
best team in football for three yearsand they lose lost the game in three
years. Okay, they lost Obama, they lost one game and they're out.

(14:46):
It's like wow, wait wait aminute, It's like it's like,
yeah, you're done by what.So I've I've taken to to calling the
NFL ref ball now because so manyflags and you know, I you know
last week, I think that theNFL wants us to bet on these games.
But the referees, you know,change the direction of the games so

(15:11):
much. The thing that really bothersthat we can see this stuff on replay.
I have the ability to go upstairs. We know they can. Yeah,
because they've done it right, theycan go upstairs and go was this
a flag? Was this a whatever? And we've seen them pick up flags.
Yeah, why aren't they doing itwhen it's blatant? I really wish
I could remember this article, butI saw it the other day in apologies

(15:35):
if somebody hears it and it's theirs, and I don't give you credit for
but basically the gist of it wasthe NFL could have really good officiating if
they wanted to. Is this whatthey want? Because they're not changing?
Is this what they want? Yeah? They could have they could have.
You could have referees. It's theirfull time job. Don't be a lawyer

(15:58):
or a teacher or whatever. Ifyou going to be a referee, that's
only going to change it and helpit a little bit a ton of money.
Yeah, yeah, absolutely, So, I'm I'm really going to try
to care less than I do nowabout what happens to the Eagles and just
be a football fan. Just justwatch football, and you know, try
not to invest myself so much inwhat happens with the Eagles, because over

(16:22):
the course of my lifetime, they'vedisappointed me far more than they've liked.
Definitely not. They're going to goto the playoffs, They're going to be
the fifth or sixth seed, forsure. Fine. Their defenses, their
defense is such ass, it's horrible. And their offense, this scheme just

(16:45):
isn't good enough to compensate for it. Right, it's bubble screen. They
ran the ball nine times, dude, Yeah, it's it's horrendous. Yeah,
terrible. Whatever. So anyway,Robbie sitting over here about to fall
asleep, but fine, whatever,let's let's get through these games. I'm
gonna go throw it. Yeah,Lyle sick again out of a thirty day
period. Lyle sick for twenty oneof them. I don't know what you

(17:07):
want me to do. Well,I don't want you to do anything other
than you know, wedding, stoplicking gas station floors. Yeah, they
had a bus stations and restop bathroom, a lot of seven eleven hot dogs?
Is that a euphemism? All right? So your Thursday night or is
a New England Patriots at the Steelers. Oh, come on, NFL,

(17:30):
you gotta do betteran scheduling. Findsomebody, find somebody in this game.
I will take Ezekiel Elliott, RamandriStevenson has a hankle sprain out in instead.
Zeke had seventy carries, had fivetargets, ninety two yards. He
had seventeen carries. Okay, yousaid seventy. Well I think maybe you

(17:52):
heard seventy, but I said seventeen. Anyway, ninety two yards. Pittsburgh
is eighth against running backs in thelast month, So maybe not a Zeke
Elliott, but yeah, he's reallythe only one. He's the best of
the place. He's the Yeah.Yeah, I mean it's not like he's
a good play. But if youif you're looking for somebody it's Zeke I
might pleague. Yeah, I meanhe's a running back. He's gonna get

(18:15):
the you know, biggest target orbiggest carry sharer. So what the hell?
On the Steelers side, Kenny Pickett'sout, Not like he'd be a
great play anyway. Trubisky when hecame in for Kenny last week, was
eleven for seventeen for a Bucks seventeenand a touchdown. Pats number one against
quarterbacks allowing under eight fantasy uh fantasypoints in the last month, so you

(18:37):
can't play like not like he'd playedMitch anyway. I always love Najia Harrison
Jalen Warren, but they're both questionablewith knee injuries. Patriots are number one
against running backs, allowing under elevenfantasy points two running backs in the last
month, So you can't really playHarris or Warren unless you absolutely have to.
I'm not saying Sidham, but youknow they're both they both have knee
issues, so he can't really playDeanday Johnson or Pickings because of the Trubisky

(19:03):
angle. Pat Freermouth maybe eh,So that's that game. Not much better.
I got Bucks, Falcons, brouhnot even gonna talk about Baker.
If you need two hundred yards ina touchdown, he's your guy. Yeah.
I mean he played fairly well lastweek, but fantasy wise not so
much. Rashat White, though hasbeen coming on lately. I will play

(19:26):
him. Two touchdowns in his lastthree games. He also in the game
he didn't score cracked af a hondoagainst Indy. Not bad. Mike Evans
continues to be I don't know whatthis guy's thirty years old. I mean,
he just continues like he's got fivetouchdowns last four game. Dude,
he's actually better with Baker than hewas with Brady. He is. He's

(19:47):
got ten touchdowns on a season overa thousand yards already, He's got sixty
one catches. I'm all in sure. Everybody else I'm out on. I
love Chris Godwin, can't play him. Kate Adden had three targets last week,
didn't catch one of them. Socool, you know, no thanks
from the Atlanta side played bije on. I guess gotta play Radder Drake london

(20:14):
Is. Kyle Pitts has one touchdownon the year. I'd love for that
guy to do something. But asa tight end, he's consistently terrible.
Do you mean the division leading AtlantaFalcons? I do, dude. Pitts
is six six two fifty right,runs runs a four to five. Right,

(20:36):
he's a monster. Are they notgetting in the ball for the same
reason they're not giving bejes on theball twenty five times? Again? Yet
he had eight targets last week?Cool only caught four of them for fifty
one yards. Super cool. Soyeah, in the PPR you get nine
either one of the biggest, mostathletic tight ends in the league. Yeah,
thanks Arthur Smith. No thanks huge, you villain looking Keystone even mustache

(21:03):
having I was all right. Next, we have an actually maybe a competitive
game Rams at the Ravens. Tellyou what, when the Rams have a
running back, they can do anything. These players score Fantasy points. Kyle
Williams is I think a certified leewinner at this point. Two back to

(21:25):
back weeks over twenty points. Lastweek he had almost forty points in those
same games. Matt Stafford has beena top ten quarterback two weeks in a
row, over twenty points in bothgames. Go figure. A running game
works to help the passing game.Same thing can be said for the receivers.
Pooka and Cooper Cup have both beenup since they've had a running game,

(21:47):
So it seems like if you havethe ability to run the ball,
you know, one hundred yards ormore game. We see he's going to
do better now. Pooka has anac joint injury, but I don't think
he's expected to miss time. Honestly, at this point, I started all
of those guys. Stafford maybe aquarterback too. I wouldn't be confident in

(22:07):
rolling him in a one quarterback league, but with all the backups you have
in there now, like you weresaying earlier, it might be worth it.
Tyler Higbee had some games before.He's not getting enough targets really to
warrant playing him over some of theother guys we're gonna have access to this
week. But you know, everyonce in a while he'll catch a touchdown

(22:32):
and be worth it. Questionable onhim off on the raven side. Surprisingly,
it's actually hard to like anybody onthis team. Lamar Jackson is,
you know, on the surface,like a great quarterback, and he was
a former MVP. He's potentially anMVP candidate this year, but in the
twelve games he's played, he's onlyscored more than fifteen points six times in

(22:56):
the past five weeks. He's onlyscored more than fifteen points one time.
It's not great, So from fantasyperspective, he's like a quarterback two in
terms of points scored. Now hehas the ability to score thirty five,
but he's not doing that all thetime like Josh Allen might, so questionable

(23:22):
on him. Honestly, the runningbacks on this team, Gus Edwards,
Keaton Mitchell, Justice Hill, allare splitting carries. None of them are
getting more than twelve each. GusEdwards is getting the work at the goal
line, so he's probably the guyI would start if I was going to
start any of them. Keaton Mitchellis getting the work between the twenties and
it gets the most pass game stuff, but still it's ten touches a game.

(23:48):
The wide receivers are not super spectacular. Say Flowers had a great game
before the bye week, but onaverage he's getting you eleven points a game.
Maybe a flex with Mark Andrews out. There's really no you know,
dynamite player on this team that Iam happy to start this year. So
a bunch of men and you likelywon't play the tight end. Oh hey,

(24:11):
now I had to. Man,it was there. Yeah, I
understand, but I'm still disappointed.Yeah, I'm sure you are. So
the Lions are going to be travelingto Soldier Field in Chicago, right.
So the last time the Lions playedChicago, which was Week eleven, Yeah,
Jared Goff had his worst passer ratinggame of the year. He had

(24:34):
three picks. He had two hundredand thirty six yards. Did have a
couple of touchdowns while in the gamethirty one twenty six. I don't know
that he's gonna throw three picks thiscoming game, But I don't know,
man, Golf. Golf is oneof those guys who hovers right around being
almost useful, you know, quarterbackeight to quarterback fourteen. You know,

(24:59):
he's We've had a few games overtwenty points this year, none of the
last three he hasn't broken you know, nineteen points in the last three games.
Against the Chargers. In Week tenhe had over twenty one points.
So great for him, but therest of the time not so great for
you. So maybe a quarterback two. I mean, I know that,
you know, some people have toplay him. You know, some people

(25:22):
who look like me sound like me, Are me do have to play him
in the league because you know,injuries and other people hoarding quarterbacks and such.
So you know, it's just temporaryexpectations to be sure. Yeah,
Chicago not a great defense, butfor some reason, it's it's a division
game. You know, you throwthe records away and all that running backs.

(25:45):
You got to play Montgomery and JumiorGibbs. I don't even have to
talk about stats or anything. Justlook at what those guys have done.
Of course you're gonna play them.Of course you're gonna play Aman Ross Saint
Brown just you know, one ofthe best receivers in the league kind of
quietly doing it as well, playingin the trop Dude. Every now and
again you find a guy like Jamesand Williams that you say, well,
I'll throw him in for a flexspot. See what happens. And last

(26:08):
week do call it one passer nineteenyards in a leaping into the end zone,
doing a flip touchdown. Not youknow, you can't count on those
those moments, but you know,and this team is full of those guys.
I wouldn't play Williams this week,though I would play Sam Laporta,
though dude is a top three tightend. Heading into Week fourteen, Liz

(26:30):
Losa has him ranked as the numberthree tight end and that's good enough for
me. So, you know,on the team with you know, a
record this good, only having fivefour or five players you can play,
I guess that's not bad. Fromthe Chicago side, dude, justin fields.
Last time they played Detroit was quarterbackeight three weeks ago. I'm going

(26:51):
to give him the nod. Therushing yards are what do it for me?
He's averaging about fifty six yards rushingyards per game and if you can
compair those two passing yard points,it's about, you know, add one
hundred and twenty five yards to hispassing total just on the rushing and that
ain't nothing. Looking at the runningback room here, Detroit has allowed the
third fewest points per game to runningbacks this season and in comes the Khalil

(27:17):
Herbert, Deontay Foreman, Rochean Johnsonthree headed monster that you don't really know
what to do. And now youknow, Foreman is questionable with an angle,
but he's up for all indications.Rochan Johnson against Minnesota before the buy
out touched and out targeted both ofthe other two. I don't know that
that's going to continue. He hadeighty five total yards on fifteen touches,

(27:41):
which included five catches. So ifit continues that way, then Rochean would
be the play until we one ofthese guys floats to the top. Though,
it's really hard to play any ofthem, really easy to play DJ
Moore though, eighteen catches, twohundred and ten yards and a touchdown over
the last two games. Yes,please give me more. DJ cole Comet

(28:04):
top eleven tight ends seven out ofthe eleven games that he has played.
We complain a lot about tight endand how most tight ends are just a
guy. Two of the best tightends in the game playing in this one.
Reporting Comet play both of them forsure. Indeed, I got colet'spangels
Man. Not much to talk abouthere. I will say that Garden Mischew

(28:25):
is a quarterback in the NFL.Good for him. He's collecting a check.
Well. He had a couple oftouchdowns last week, three hundred and
twelve yards. Got the dub,Got the dub, got the dub.
He's won. They've won four street, they're in the playoff, hunt man,
they are, But I wouldn't plan. Yeah, well, play Zach
Moss, though, I think thathe is meeting the threshold for that flex

(28:51):
status, especially at this point.He had fifty one yards on nineteen carries
last week. I wouldn't expect awhole lot. Again, he's a flex
Pittman. You definitely have to play. This guy is just cut. I
mean, listen, look at thesecatches Week eight, eight catches nine,
eight catches, Week ten, eightcatches, Week twelve, ten catches Week

(29:11):
thirteen, eleven catches. By theway, week eleven, they had a
five. He also has a coupleof touchdowns in there. Not terrible numbers.
He's a PPR god, he's nota guy in standard leagues, but
dude, he's got eighty seven catcheson the year. You can't really knock
that kind of stuff. I'd loveto play downs, probably not going to.

(29:33):
He just doesn't have enough production.I think he's talented, but you
know, the offense is what itis now. You have the Jake Browning
Bengals. You're not gonna play Browningobviously, But he did have three point
fifty four last week and a snakeagainst Jacksonville. It was a hard fought
game. He looked really good.Actually, he did he was QB four

(29:56):
last week. It's hard not tonote he ran one in two so he
had two touchdowns. I mean,yeah, might want to pay attention to
I wouldn't play him, obviously,would play Mixing. They leaned on him
last week. I think they're goingto continue to do that. He had
two touchdowns on the ground, sixtyeight yards rushing. He had another forty
nine through the air. Good stuffthere. And the last person, of

(30:19):
course, we're going to talk abouthis Chase. Yeah, we were wondering
like should we could we say Iam? He had twelve targets, called
eleven of them for a buck fortynine on a touchdown. Not bad?
Yeah, allowable? Yeah, Ithink I'll allow it. Rowley he was

(30:41):
He was QB six in a PPRleague. He had thirty one points.
All right, sorry, wide receiversix in a PBR league get thirty one
points, so those are huge numbers. Keep playing Chase. Yeah, he
won me a league, or wonme a game in the league. I
needed own bench peep. Yeah.I think I needed like forty five points

(31:03):
out of him and Evan Ingram lastweek, and I got sixty five,
So I felt pretty good about that. Speaking of Evan Ingram his team,
the Jaguars, going to Cleveland toplay the Browns. Nice. This might
be a backup quarterback game with C. J. Bethard and potentially well anyone
from the Browns at this point isgoing to be a backup. Trevor Lawrence

(31:27):
apparently not listed fully out yet forthis week. He could play. You
know what, it looked like.It looked like he was like his leg
was cut off. The way hewas just it did not look good.
It didn't look good at all.But it's you know, it's a high
ankle spreen. He could do it. I'm seeing news that he's not been

(31:48):
listed as out yet, but Ihave to assume they're not going to risk
him at this point when they havea chance to make it the playoffs,
they want him, see Bethard.Yeah, So if you got the CJ.
Bethard led Jaguars against the Joe FlaccoBrowns, what do you like in

(32:09):
this game? I like Etten anybanged up he is, but I think
it's still the best option. Imean, he had a pretty good game
last week. I think he hada little bit less than twenty points.
See if you weren't raw dog andit you'd know that. Well. I
looked at it. I looked atit earlier, but I remember if you

(32:30):
considered dog rocking yet I haven't.Maybe I'll do that next week. Maybe
I'll do that. In the thescoring I'm looking at right now. He
had eighteen points, which also wonme a league. Didn't have a lot
of carries, but scored a touchdown, had some good work through the air.
You're gonna play Travis at Jenna.Not really a question about that.

(32:52):
Calvin really fell off the cliff oftwo good games. Still had good target
and nothing. Yeah. Oh,by the way, sorry about the ass
weapon law. Would you uh him? I might have taken a mile out
this last week? Yeah, Isee, it's okay. Yeah. Really

(33:15):
did not have a great game.There was one pretty big catch he had
that was taken back by a holdingpenalty that wasn't really a holding penalty.
I don't know if you saw thatplay cool didn't count. It didn't count,
but you know the attempt was made. Still knowing maybe this league,
Yeah me too. If if it'sC. J. Bethard, Honestly,

(33:37):
I don't know if that's better forhim or worse for him, because Bethard
is more likely to just say numberone red, throw it to him,
number one read throw it to him. So hard to say. I don't
really I don't really like him thisweek. Zero's down there somewhere. Yeah,
Christian Kirk is gonna be off fora little bit. Uh, it
looks like he his balls exploded onthat play like a core injury. They

(33:58):
called it yeah, but didn't lookgood. So Zay Jones slides up into
that wide receiver two spot. Idon't hate a Zay Jones play here.
He showed some good explosiveness in afew games this year. If he's going
to be the second wide receiver option, I don't hate him in a flex

(34:19):
if you're trying to pick someone upto fill in for Christian Kirk or any
of the injuries. Another guy whoapparently is on the Jaguars, Parker Washington.
Never heard of this guy before,but he had six sketches for sixty
one yards in a snee put himat wide receiver fifteen last week. I
don't know how involved he's going tobe moving forward. I think he basically

(34:43):
just took over for Christian Kirk lastweek so that Ridley and Zay could just
stay in what they knew how todo. I don't know how that's going
to change this week, but mightbe a sneaky pick up if you're looking
for a guy to potentially use asa flex through the playoffs. I don't
know if I'd play this week,but maybe stash him from the Browns.

(35:04):
Flacco had a pretty decent game.Had had seventeen points. It's, you
know, two hundred and forty yards, two touchdowns, one interception, a
decent game, kind of what youexpect from from a savvy vet like Flacco.
The rest of the Browns team kindof lackluster. You know. I

(35:28):
guess you got to start Jerome Fordbecause he's the starting running back. I
mean, he's going to get eleventwelve points a game, not anything really
spectacular, butsworthy. Yeah, AmariCooper didn't practice today. He got banged
up during the game. Even ifhe does play, I'm not sure how
great he's going to be. ElijahMoore stepped up. His target numbers have

(35:51):
been up. His production is notthe highest has been all season, but
at the second highest at twelve points. If you can believe that he might
be somewhat useful because he might bethe only guy out there catching passes.
Maybe a flexworthy, but yeah,hard to count on anything that revolves around
Fleck. Yeah exactly. Yeah,none of these other receivers are really worth

(36:16):
doing anything about. And Djoku didn'thave a lot of points last week,
but I watched him catch a passand then run over like six people like
Beef, I kind of like that. He's also had before last week,
like five straight games over fifteen pointsas a tight end and that's amazing.
So definitely start him absolutely. Sodid you guys see last week we had

(36:39):
the Saints and the Lions played.You see the official they got wrecked on
the sideline. Oh yeah, sothis guy's kamara was was going towards the
sideline and ran into the student's nameis Nick Piazza. It's one of the
Chain Gang dudes. And you know, they they showed it. They showed
you know, they show this sidelinewhen the player goes out and there's this

(37:01):
dude laying there and you could hearhim h and his leg was at a
weird angle and then they quickly cutaway from it. It was horrific.
Yeah, and the kamaras is standingthere looking at him like what do I
do? Yeah, I want tolike help the guy, but like,
this is my sideline. But tobe honest with you, of all the
places where you can break a leg, an NFL sideline is probably one of

(37:22):
the best places other than like ahospital. Yeah, because there's people who
can administer to you too freaking sweet, you know what I mean. Well,
I mean, at least if youbreak your leg on the sideline,
you don't need insurance to get help. You're in the hospital, and you
know they gouge you with the boI'm sure they reach for his insurance card
as soon as you pass through thedoors of the r I believe that they

(37:44):
hooked him up. No, you'reright. I mean, look what happened
tomorrow, Hamlin. Yeah. Imean, if that happens on a street
in New York City, you knowthat guy's in serious trouble. Yeah.
But because it was on an NFLfield, And kudos to the NFL for
that, they are Johnny on thespot and uh and they you know,
they are attentive two injuries and potentialsituations. Yeah, and and there's an

(38:12):
ambulance right there, yep. Soyeah, I just I thought about that,
dude, and it's like, youknow, you're you know, just
even even being in a in awith my kids playing Little League football,
the fathers have to stand there andhold the chains and a couple of times.
You know, these kids are notsmall. You know, they're you
know, eight seventh eighth grade kids, some of them, some of them
big as me. At the time, you know, you got to get

(38:34):
the hell out of the way they'reAt the time, I said, I
qualified it by saying, at thetime, what I don't understand is why
the dudes holding the chain are theleast athletic humans in the stadium. I
mean, as an official, like, like, who else are you going
to get to hold the chain?I don't know, some thirty year old

(38:55):
people that can run up and downthe field. Well, the the thing
is, you don't need a thirtyyear old dude to stand there and hold
the yard marker, you know whatI mean. I guess and I will
say, I mean, they don'teven need them anymore, though they have
the pylons there now they do.I think it's it's one of those tradition
things, you know, like havingAngel Hernandez continue to call MLB games.

(39:20):
Anyway, By the way, inthat one of the Robbie's teams. There
was a kid there whose nickname wasHouse. So he wasn't as tall as
me, but he was thick.You remember House? No really, No,
anyway, here's a blonde hair kidabout five ten to ten. Yeah,
he was eleven years old. Ithink he was probably I think it
was in eighth grade, so maybetwelve. Yeah. Anyway, So the

(39:44):
Carolina Panthers in a will be visitingthe Saints in another NFC South tilt arm
So the only Panther that I caneven remotely mentioned with a straight face is
Cuba Hubbard because last week against Tampaand their twentieth ranked run d against fantasy

(40:06):
running backs last four weeks, hewas twenty five carries for one hundred and
four and two touchdowns. Twenty fivecarries is a good day's work, and
if that's the kind of work he'sgoing to get going forward all out as
a flex, New Orleans is twentysixth against fantasy running backs in the last
month, So good matchup for Cuba, and I'm out on the rest of

(40:28):
the Panthers. Let me ask you, that was last week, the first
week of the interim head coach.Yes, I think you might see a
lot more Tuba going forward, alittle more Tuba than than Miles for sure.
Clearly he has been the busier,more productive back. Yeah. So
you know, when you get anew interim head coach and offensive coordinator in,

(40:51):
you know you're going to get differentphilosophies, et cetera. So maybe
we'll see something improve, we'll seefrom the same side. Could it be
Derek Carr, I don't know,he was at practice today, he's concoss
he's in the protocol. Could beJameis Winston, which would be exciting to
watch because he just chucks the ballaround the yard and you know, whatever
happens happens. So I don't knowthat I would play either of those guys

(41:15):
to be sure. I mean,you know, the Panthers defense is terrible,
but Carr has been terrible, andwe know what Winston can do or
can't. And you know what it's, you know, looking at Taysom Hill's
possibilities, if it's if it's Jamis, he might actually come in and throw
a couple of passes in there.Tight end oh yeah, oh yeah,

(41:37):
no, is just too high.If they it's almost like you know,
the Tousch push, but it's likeTaysom gets a ball from the five yard
line, and in James uh,Jamal Williams doesn't get a chance to do
a goal line carry because it's goingto be Taysom Hill. So no team
has allowed more rushing touchdowns than thePanthers, so Taysom will probably get a

(42:00):
couple of targets too. So yeah, gonna play Taysom Hill, Gonna play
Alvin Kamara, of course, I'mgonna play Chris a Lave. Of course.
He's averaged over twenty PPR points agame per game in the last four
games. So yeah, for me, it's Taysom and Kamara and Chris a
Lave. If Rashid Shaheed was healthy, I might consider him. He's been

(42:23):
kind of off the last few weeks. But uh, without you know,
perfect health and a good quarterback,it's hard to play a secondary receiver in
this situation. By the way,Jimmy Graham every now and again catches a
touchdown pass to remind you that he'sstill in the league. He did it
this last week, and it's like, oh damn, that's right, Jimmy

(42:44):
Graham's still playing. Can't play himthough, got shick no talking about can't
play I got Texans Jets. Iplay CJ. He tends to be fairly
good. He could do some stuff. Pierce and Singletary. Singletary had a

(43:07):
stretch of two games where he wasdown on it and then he just wasn't
again. Yeah, Pierce came backright, and so they're splitting carries and
pierces and he had a touchdown lastweek, but he still averaged two point
seven per on fifteen carries. Notgood with dell Out. I played Nico.
He is super dangerous and I meanhuge. He is huge one and

(43:34):
he had one hundred and four ofthe week before that touchdowns in each of
those games. So yeah, Iplayed Nico's He's really good. That's it.
I can't play anybody. I mean, Brevin Jordan had sixty four yards.
We could talk about him from theColts side or the sorry the Colts
the Jets side. ROH, showme somebody I can play. He Saul

(44:00):
is super talented. He's banged up, but uh, he didn't practice because
he's got an ankle. He'll probablyplay, but even when he's in he
average. He had thirteen carries forsixteen yards last week against Atlanta, and
they're like stellar run defense thirteen forsixteen. That's that's embarrassing. Garrett Wilson,

(44:27):
I think is one of the bestyoung receivers in the NFL. Can't
play. Yeah, I'm out.Zach Wilson's coming back to the quarterback for
Jack Wilson is playing in this game. Apparently he's excited and energized to Oh
cool to be back to playing towatch them put up twelve points. Dude,
you know how bad you got tobe to start one week in the

(44:50):
NFL and then number and then thenext week be replaced by Zach Wilson and
released by the team that you startedfor. They're released, Amy boil So,
no on Sunday. You're starting inan NFL game on Wednesday? Yoas
is on the street. That's prettysad because Zach Wilson's gonna start in your

(45:13):
stead. Did you have any moregas for us? Lyyle? No,
bet, it's all you buddy,all right? Gas free? Yeah?
I got the Broncos at the Chargers, who yeah, not great Chargers just
want a six to nothing game.This is an NFL score, not a
hockey score, if you can believethat. But it was a win.
Yeah something, uh Russell Wilson isvery consistently mediocre. H He's averaging like

(45:43):
seventeen points a game, and likethe standard deviation is like a point,
so you can pretty confidently expect sixteeneighteen points every week. So quarterback two
numbers love that, but that's aboutit. Javonte Williams also pretty consistent the

(46:04):
past few weeks, about ten points. Three before that he was better,
averaging like fifteen. But hard toreally love any consistency from anyone on this
team. Chargers have an awful rundefense, but I don't know if that's
going to matter in a division game. Things are always different. I'd probably
played Javonte in a flex just incase, but I would hope I have

(46:30):
a better options running back. Idon't in a lot of my leagues,
but you know where it matters,I don't hope. Are those the leagues
that you're not vying for a playoffspot? I would be corret as the
leagues I'm one in thirteen or somethinglike that. Pass catches on this team
also not fantastic. Jerry Judy reallyhasn't done much of anything all year,

(46:53):
only has one touchdown, hasn't brokenone hundred yards at all. Most catches
in the game is seven, likejust not really doing anything. Corland Sutton
is really the receiver to have ifyou had to have one. He's getting
a couple more targets a game onaverage, and he is able to do

(47:13):
a little more with him. He'sgot a bunch of touchdowns this year.
I didn't realize this until right nowas I'm looking at it, because a
broad dog. He has nine touchdownsthis year. Quietly, quietly, but
that's a lot of touchdowns. Andyou know what you watch, You watch
the plays that he makes. Youknow he's vying for I'm not gonna say
one of the best receivers in theleague, but he makes those those the

(47:37):
toe drag swag yah and the catcheson the sideline like the really good guys
do. So maybe with a betterquarterback, he could be one of those
guys. The surprising thing is thathe's getting decent targets, you know,
six or seven a game, buthe's only catching two or three passes.
Like it's a horrible production for thevolume he's getting. But because he's catching
so many touchdowns, he's still fantasyirrelevant. Now. What that means is

(47:59):
that it's like a Boomer Bus situationwhere if he doesn't catch a touchdown,
he's going to get you three points. But if he does catch the touchdown
and it happens to be a seventyyard play, then he gets just you
know, fifteen. So he's probablyworth playing in a flex. But really,
nobody else in this team is forthe Chargers. Justin Herbert had a

(48:21):
bad week last week. I thinkhe only had like seven points or something.
But we know he can be good. We know he has places he
can throw the ball to score alot of points, so you're obviously going
to start him. Austin Eckler Italked about it last week that I think
he's kind of fallen off. Iwas right. He had four point seven

(48:42):
points, fourteen carries, eighteen yards, two catches for another nine. That's
horrible. I don't think he's washed. I think the offense is just stagnant.
Yeah. I mean that's been thething with the Chargers for the past
like five years. Is there theyhave like a good offense the first couple
of weeks, and then the defensivecoordinator to say, Okay, this is
all there are gonna do, andthey can't do anything late in the season.

(49:02):
So I mean this, three straightweeks under ten points for a guy
that you probably drafted in the firstround. I know that we're way past
that at this point, but he'ssupposed to be, you know, a
clear top fight running back and he'snot even top fifty at this point.
I'm benching him. He will goall the way off. He will,

(49:22):
so maybe don't listen to me,but you know, just disappointment three weeks
in a row. It's tough tohandle. Keenan Allen, on the other
hand, eleven points, I guessis disappointing for him. Still had nine
targets, five catches, fifty eightno touchdowns, But in the five weeks
before that he had eight, eight, eleven, ten and fourteen catches.

(49:45):
Was over one hundred and three ofthose games, touchdowns in two of them.
He has a down week, itdoesn't matter. You have to start
him. He's a wide receiver twoon the year. Now, the next
five games for them is pretty tough. They have five really hard defenses to
play against. But it doesn't matter. You're gonna start the guy. But
that's pretty much it on this team. No one else is really doing anything

(50:07):
relevant at all. Yeah, Igot you you know, if Gino Smith
could could be the guy, thequarterback he was in Dallas where he threw
for three hundred and thirty four yardsand three touchdowns, Seahawks may be doing
a little bit better than they areas it stands. Two weeks ago when

(50:30):
they were in Frisco, they lostthirty one to thirteen and Gino had one
hundred and eighty yards and one pick, no touchdowns kind of thing. And
that's what we're going to see thisweek in San Francisco. I'm not gonna
play Gino. I'm not gonna recommendyou played Gino. I mean, you
know, I may have to becauseof the way things work out in two
quarterback leagues, but my expectations areextraordinarily you know, tempered. Both running

(50:58):
backs Walker and Charbonney have are questionable. With an obleaque and a knee.
It looks like both of them quoteunquote from Pete Carroll did some stuff at
practice today. Yeah, so Idon't know if it was good stuff for
bad stuff, But I don't knowthat I can recommend playing either of these
guys against San Francisco. I wouldplay I would play Walker if he's in.

(51:22):
We saw what Zach Sharboney was ableto do against San Francisco a couple
of weeks ago, and it waslike, you know, forty three yards
something like that, So not great. I wouldn't go with Sharbonne here,
but I would go with Walker ifhe plays, I would go with him.
Tyler Lockett, up until last week, was the leading receiver on this
team, which is terrible because TylerLogot was not doing well. But then

(51:43):
DK goes, you know, threetouchdowns and whatever against Dallas. But last
week or two weeks ago against Frisco, he was three for nine thirty two
yards, so you know, itall goes. It all depends on how
Gino plays. Division matchups like thiscan always go wonky. But really,
the only guys I'm gonna play hereare Kenny Walker if he's up in DK.

(52:07):
Just because you can't sit the dudefrom the Frisco side, it's pretty
easy you're gonna play Brock Purty.Yes, he had the second worst game
of the season against Seattle two weeksago. I don't see how you can
sit the guy. Everybody's wide open. He can get him the ball.
He gets three hundred yards and threetouchdowns. You know he's going to do
well pretty much every week from hereon out. Yeah, you're gonna play

(52:28):
McCaffrey. Of course, You're gonnaplay Debo. Yes, you're gonna play
Brandon a Yolk of Courts. You'regonna play Kittle. Of course. If
you need to know why, youshould probably go play fantasy hockey or something
fair enough, Kevin, I gotBill's cheese, and here's what I'm gonna
tell you, guys. Just playeverybody. Oh, feel bad about it?

(52:50):
Yeah, all right, I'm startingsky Moore, Cadarius, Tony,
here we come. Uh No,but I listen against the Chiefs coming off
of bye, I feel like andit must win game. I feel like
the Bills are gonna put up somepoints. Would play Allen Obviously, I

(53:10):
might play James Cook. He's donesome damage throughout the year. It's not
always great, but flex wise,I feel like he might be RB twelve
or fourteen, so cool. Well, obviously we're gonna play Steph. I

(53:32):
played Dalton Kink too. I reallylike this guy. I think he's he's
among the better young tight ends inthe league. He doesn't always score a
lot of points, which I knowis the whole goal of this thing.
But I think in this game he'sgot a better than average chance to score
a touchdown. I would stick himin there. If he's a guy that

(53:52):
you've been toying with all year.Again, he's only got two touchdowns on
the season, he's only got he'sless than five hundred yards. Wouldn't get
too excited, but I would playfrom the chief side. Holmes was bad
last week. Yeah, dude,he was bad. And he's been bad
in like five of his last Idon't know six games. I don't know

(54:19):
what to do with him. Doyou gotta play him? Still? I
think so in this game, Ithink you do. You know what he
does to the Bills. Fine,Pachecko's got three touchdowns last two games.
I'd play him. Probably would playtheir best receiver, which is Rice right
now, two weeks in a row, he's got eight catches. He had

(54:40):
a buck seven against Vegas nsnee onlyin sixty four last week. But he's
their number one receiver that's not namedTravis Kelcey, and obviously you're gonna play
Kelsey. Yeah, that's it,all right. I got the Vikings going
to the Raiders. This game Ithink is going to be interesting to see

(55:02):
how the Vikings do this week JustinJefferson activated. I can't wait. Yeah,
it doesn't help me because I'm noton the Fishbowl anymore. But I
have him in a bunch of otherleagues too, so excited about that.
Don't really know what to do withJosh stops. He gets to the Vikings,
he has a great game. Nextweek, he has an okay game.

(55:24):
Week twelve, he has an awfulgame. So I don't really know
what to expect from this week.Maybe he ends up with negative four points
if the trend continues. I don'treally know. He threw four interceptions last
week. Yeah I say last week, I mean Week twelve. That's horrid,

(55:46):
hor horrid, hard, that's bad. I'd like to think with Justin
Jefferson back in the lineup, thingswill be better for him. I know
a lot of those interceptions were youknow, tip drills or drop passes that
got scooped up, things like that. So Aby gets better, but I

(56:08):
wouldn't see it first. I wouldsay he's got maybe a QB two ceiling
this week, but I would becareful, be skeptical. This week mentioned
earlier that the Rams running game helpedthe passing game. I don't think that
the Vikings passing game is going tohelp Alexander Madison at all. Earlier in

(56:31):
the season we saw that he wasquite mediocre even when Justin Jefferson was playing.
I don't really see that changing.He's it'll get you nine ten points,
probably if he finds his way intothe end zone, which he has
not done on the ground yet Thisyear. Might might be a little more,
but I'd say it's a flex atbest until we see what it actually

(56:53):
looks like and then we get tothe pass catchers. Is there anything not
to lie out of any of theseguys? Justin Jefferson's back, He's probably
gonna score fifty points. Take it. Jordan Addison in Jefferson's absence was doing
Justin Jefferson things. Love it.TJ. Hockinson tight end one averaging sixteen

(57:16):
points a game as a tight end, and it's not Travis Kelcey from a
couple of years ago, but that'spretty good. Starting all of those guys
from the Raiders. Things a littledifferent. Aidan O'Connell is pretty awful fantasy
wise, like ten points a gameor something like that. Don't start him.
Josh Jacobs not bad, not whathe was last year, but definitely

(57:39):
startable. Probably are we two thisweek? If I had to guess,
DeVante Adams and Jacoby Myers are interesting. It seems like both of them can't
do well in the same week.Yeah, it does, but I think
davantage floor is still higher than JacobyMyers with Aidan O'Connell. Jacobe did really

(58:01):
well the first five weeks and thenas soon as the team started sucking ass.
To put it one way, isthat a technical term? Yeah,
he hasn't had a great stretch ofgames. He'll have a twenty pointer and
then three four pointers. He's probablya flex the best boomer Bus player at
this point. But Defonte Adams,you can start with confidence. He's gonna

(58:22):
get you at least ten points.Michael Meyer the tight end for this team.
I can see potential in him,but not this year. I think
next year, regardless of where he'sgoing to be on boards, I think
he'll be next year similar to whatKencaid was this year. I heard a

(58:44):
rumor that Davis wants really, reallybadly wants to bring John Gruden back.
That seems like a mistake. Iwonder how that would play. Would the
legal out it. I don't knowon Gruden suing the league, right,
That's what I'm saying, and everysingle owner individually, so that that might

(59:05):
be a little might be a littleawkward at the league meetings. Yeah,
we'll see, all right. Sothe Sunday nighter is the Eagles traveling to
Dallas play the Cowboys. This alsopretty easy. You know you're gonna play
Hurts, You're gonna play A.J. Brown, You're gonna play DeVante
Smith. If Dallas gathered is up, you're gonna play him. I'd love

(59:27):
to say, play DeAndre Swift,but if they're only going to give him
the ball six times in a game, it's not worth it. If they
do give him the ball fifteen timesa game, he's worth playing. You
can't trust that. So I'm goingto look elsewhere, away from DeAndre,
away from gain Well whatever, fromthe Dallas side. Prescott playing the best

(59:49):
football of his career. You gotto play that guy. Tony Pollard is
worth at least to flex certainly more. He's been playing better of late Ceedee
Lamb. He may not be wrongabout being the best receiver in the league
at this point. And Brandon Cooksis worth at least a flex in his
last four games, twenty catches outof twenty three targets, three hundred and

(01:00:10):
thirty four yards, three touchdowns.How can you not play that dude against
the worst pass defense in the NFL. Got a player Jake Ferguson for TDS
in his last six He is atop five tight end going into this week
against this porous Eagles pass d Sothat's that's what I got for this game

(01:00:31):
is basically play everybody except for theEagles running back. Fair enough, man?
I got Titans Dolphins? Oh yeah, yeah, gotta play Derrick Henry.
He's had a bit of a resurgencein the past couple of games,
got four touchdowns the last two.That's enough to wake you up a little

(01:00:52):
bit. Well, cracking off acouple of TDS every week. I mean,
you're not gonna play Will Levis.Should I mention him? No?
He's okay. But it reminds mea little of Andrew Luck without the numbers
or the toys or the talent career. Did you see him throw an interception
and then while the ball was inthe air, run to make the tackle,
force a fumble, and then recoverit for a first down. Dud's

(01:01:15):
amazing. I'll give him that.He followed his shot man as soon as
the ball got tipped. He waslike, I know it, he knew
yep, and he went and gotit. Gonna play dip two at least
a flex kind of guy. Twelvetargets last week, only caught five of
them for seventy five, but hedid have a snee, so I'll allow

(01:01:35):
it. That's it from Tennessee.Usual suspects from Miami. Gonna play to
obviously not the MVP candidate that hewears earlier in the year, but he's
still putting up really good numbers twentypoints a week, roughly. Gonna play
both of these running backs. Imean, h finally came back, he
got in the end zone. Hewas cool to see that he had seventeen

(01:02:00):
carries, had a couple tds.Cool, then most are like, also
just scores another touchdown. He's gotthree in the last two games. He
had eleven carries. It's not likethey're not going to give him the ball.
Hot you gonna sit rekill, No, of course not. I played
Chile in hot Wattle too. Whatdo you think the over under is on

(01:02:21):
him actually getting to two thousand yards. You guys like it, He's gonna
do it. He's at fifteen hundredroughly now, and he's got five games,
five games left. Yes, itmay not take him to week seventeen
to get there either week eighteen hehad a buck fifty seven last week,
a bucko two the week before,a buck forty six the week before that.

(01:02:44):
I mean he might not get there, and he's got some tough defenses.
Yeah, it's a stretch, butI mean if anybody could do it,
he's he's poised for it well.And in standard league's standard. He's
standard, not PPR. He's beena top five wide receiver in all but

(01:03:04):
three weeks wow, standard leagues.So not PPR. Standard not PPR by
the way, number same for PPR, he just has higher numbers. Yeah,
that he's the best wide receiver inthe NFL, and it's not closed
right now. He is making astrong case for a gold jacket. I

(01:03:30):
would agree, yeah, I meantwo different teams, he's got a ring.
He's just so dominant and if hegets loose, if he hits that
two K, it's a guarantee.I don't even think he has to do
it, but yeah, I wouldagree with that. He just he just
you can't cover him. Even whenhis team loses, even when they get

(01:03:52):
blown out, he scores a touchdown. Yeah, when he when he caught
the the long pass this week,there were he had like three guys around
him. Was like, yeah,right there, but they're not going to
get it whatever. He ran thewrong route too. I don't know if
you saw that. I saw theclip. I haven't actually seen the episode
from Hard Knocks where he was justrunning a go route, but it looked
like he was trying to take itin like a skinny post and threw threw

(01:04:14):
him outside towards the pylon, andhe was just like running around trying to
figure out where the ball is becausehe ran the wrong route. But he's
to put it up enough that hehad time to just run underneath of it
and no one. I think thedefender was like five yards behind him,
even after running the wrong route andhaving to run extra distance, still had
five yards on the guy. Crazy, what are you supposed to do?

(01:04:34):
Yeah, he's got one. Two? Oh, that's it. Games where
he didn't score a touchdown, hm, two pretty impressive, bordering on spectacular.
Yeah, so yeah, that's it. I'd play him, all right,
So I think there's actually two today. Get two Monday night games here.

(01:04:54):
Yeah, that's the same time.Well, I know which one I'll
be watching, not the one I'ma about to tell you about Packers at
Giants. Woofs just beat the Chiefs. Man, Yeah, dude, they're
on a heater. Well did thePackers beat the Chiefs or did the Chiefs
lose to the Packers? You can'tsay that. I yeah, I smoked

(01:05:17):
Jordan Lonava Love had a good game. He did. Yeah, this is
his third good game in a row, third game over twenty points. Had
three touchdowns in this in this game, three touchdowns last week two, the
week before. Hasn't thrown a picksince Week ten. Knock on wood for
the guy because I haven't been alot of my leaks. He's playing great.

(01:05:39):
I'm starting him. I think he'she's risen back into QB one territory.
Bottom of that. But yeah,in the bottom sure, But with
so many backup quarterbacks playing. Youknow you Love Minshew, you're playing right,
Yeah, I say that, ButMinshew was like in the middle of
QB two territory because there's so manyawful quarterbacks playing right now. So you're

(01:06:00):
gonna play Jordan Love. If AaronJones plays, which I don't know if
he's going to, i'd play him. Well, I say i'd play him,
But in the past, when he'scome off of injury, that first
week he doesn't. He plays likefifteen snaps. They have him on a
snapcount for whatever reason. But he'sstill active, so maybe you don't play

(01:06:23):
him. What I will say,regardless of whether Jones plays, I'm not
playing aj Dillon, even in gameswhere he gets all of the carries,
he gets like ten points. Justnot worth having him in at all.
If you need somebody in a flex, toss him in, but he's not

(01:06:44):
worth having in your starting lineup.Really, A guy who is worth it
if he plays is Christian Watson.He's re injured a hamstring. I think
it's the same hamstring. If it'sthe other hamstring, that really sucks.
But he's got three straight games withthe touchdown, had two last week.
He's starting to get hot. It'skind of the same thing he did last

(01:07:06):
year, right, He had kindof a mediocre start to the season,
then towards the end he picked upa little bit. He got hot.
Yeah, so we're seeing that samething. Giant. Steve Fens is not
great, so I think you canfairly confidently have him in there. Same
with Romeo Dobbs and Jayden Reid.Honestly, all three of these receivers really

(01:07:29):
are like kind of the same.There's excel in different areas. Dobbs is
getting more targets and more catches,Christian Watson is the downfield threat it seems
to be getting the touchdowns, andJayden Reid is kind of the underneath guy
that runs a lot of the littlegadget routes. So all of them I
think are worth playing. If anything, I think Reid maybe is more flexish

(01:07:51):
than actual receiver spot. But anyof these guys can can do something great,
and I think they're all worth havingan against a terrible Giants team.
Uh, tight end he's doing,No, it's not, it's it's Tucker
Craft. Musgrave is on ir maybe done for the season. Uh,

(01:08:14):
Tucker Craft scored a touchdown in Weektwelve, But you know, two three
catches a game for under fifty yardsnot really worth it when you've got tight
ends out there doing actual fantasy productionfrom the Giants. I mean, I
love the the charisma on on on, mister cutlets, but not a fantasy

(01:08:35):
quarterback. You know, you bringup a good point. Yeah, yeah,
he did have a really great gameagainst Washington, but you know that's
Washington. I don't think it's worthplaying this week. I do think you

(01:08:57):
want to play Saquon because it's Saquon. Even though he's really the only person
on the team doing anything, he'sstill able to put up pretty decent games
if they're not playing a good defense. Since he came back from his little
injury stint, they played four straightgames against teams that were in the bottom
half of running back defense. Hehad good games in all those. Then

(01:09:20):
they played Dallas and he had sevenpoints. They played Washington, who had
a horrible defense thirty points, andthey played in New England, who had
the number one defense six points.Green Bay does have a bottom half defense
this week. Expect a decent gameout of the guy and guys. I
actually think there's a pass catch aroundthis team that might be worth playing.

(01:09:41):
Shocker, JH, it's JH.Jalen Hyatt. He's had one game worth
the damn But is it the startof good things? No? Probably not,
But at I gotta have hope wehope to kill you, man.
No, you don't have to havehope. In the Giants five catches one

(01:10:03):
hundred and nine yards against New England. I liked him early, but you
know then, yeah, I'm notsaying this guy is going to be anything
amazing, but at least on thecurrent version of the Giants that we're seeing,
he's emerging as the receiver. Ithink the deeper into the end of

(01:10:24):
the season, it goes. Aswe get towards the end of the regular
season, he's going to build upchemistry with Divido. By the end of
the season, he might be aguy that's getting seven catches a game with
some consistency. Don't have to starthim this week, but if he's sitting
on the waiver wire and you gotnothing else to do with your roster,
pick him up. Dude. Youknow, we're talking about people trying to
make the playoffs here, I understand, but I'm going to be making the

(01:10:48):
playoffs in a couple of leagues andI've got mac Hollins on my bench man
right, If I can pick upJalen Height instead, I'll do that.
I got two words for you,guys, cool and them's be the gabble
ghoul be all right, boy,I just realized we didn't do the news.

(01:11:09):
Uh, everybody look for yourselves.There's injuries. Yeah, people,
people are hurt whatever. Uh souh questions on Discord Lyle. Yeah,
we got a couple of them.So we have two l l V.
Hey there, guys, which defensewould you be going to into the lofts

(01:11:30):
Dittois, New Orleans or the Colts? Uh? I'm playing New Orleans against
that, against those Panthers, Imean this week. Yeah, but he's
saying moving forward ice stream. Idon't pick a team and go with it.
I think I think New Orleans thisweek. Yeah. If you were

(01:11:51):
going to pick one and stick withit, I'd pick the Colts. They
have They have a a good specialteams. Honestly, this is the reason
I'm going for it, because theydo very well in special teams. And
if your scoring system gives you pointsfor special team stuff, I'm going for
that. Yeah. I don't hateit. Nothing to reddit, so I'll

(01:12:12):
just keep going ahead. He says, what's up, fellows need to start
one full peeper Eckler b haul downs. Garrett Wilson, thanks superb med advice
the day that is a fact,it's four guys we all we all said
don't start them this week. Outof those, I'd probably play Eckler,

(01:12:33):
but I get it. Robbie,You're not wrong. But out of those,
i'd player, Yes, so wouldI just because the potential ceiling is
higher. Well, if Brice Hallis healthy in plays, I think his
ceiling is higher this week. Idon't know similar points to get your power.
Zach Wilson. Yeah, that's fair. I don't know, you know,

(01:12:54):
you might you might see ten inthe box. You know, I
don't know. Man, you gottwo jets there. That's sad. Yeah,
so yeah, I would too,so E Ray says Week fourteen,
question, Yo, yo, needa little lineup help on my half point
peeper. Pick one wide receiver,one running back and one flex flex from

(01:13:15):
these guys, Olave, DJ Moore, Brandon Cooks, Chris Godwin, Jalen
Warren, Keaton Mitchell, Kenneth gainWell, I'd take a lobby and Moore,
probably Warren for the running back.Probably Warren. Yeah, yeah,
and I I I get that,but he's banged up. I might go

(01:13:39):
Keaton Mitchell on that one, justbecause of the of the now. If
if Najie Harris is out and JalenWarren is up, then definitely Warren.
But I don't know. I'd ratherhave a healthy Raven than a banged up
Steeler against the number one rush defensein the in the league. That's true.
So yeah, I'm gonna go keatingon that one. I think.

(01:14:02):
Thanks love you, e Ray Right, Butterscore says, since just jeff is
back, who do I boot outof the wide receiver spot for him?
Half peeper CD versus Philly, MikeEvans at Atlanta, Debo versus Seattle dj
LV. Thanks again? Wow.So uh, here's the thing, buddy,

(01:14:24):
I don't know that I would.Who are the guys he's trying to
bump Ceedee Lamb ceedee Lamb Michaele MikeEvans at Atlanta or Debo against Seattle Gona.
You're not gonna play Justin Jefferson firstgame back. I might not out
of that list. I'd probably bumpedDebo ye too. Yeah, that's what

(01:14:45):
he was gonna say. You don'twant to be the guy who's waiting on
Justin Jefferson. I get you.He probably could have played last week,
but they were on a bye,so different quarterback all that kind of stuff.
He's his first game back. Iwould understand, uh, just standing.
That's a a stack of wide receivers, man, an embarrassment of rich

(01:15:10):
You just mentioned he might be thewide best ride receiver in the NFL.
I'm not gonna bench Mike Evans,who just constantly catches touchdowns. He's the
only person that does it in Tampa. So the question is Debo or Justin
Jefferson. I mean, normally itwould definitely be Justin Jefferson, but you
know, he's just coming back tothis first game. If it's anybody,
it's Debo. Maybe I would bumpDebo. But again, first came back

(01:15:34):
as me a little wary. Iget it. I get it. Damn
hang on, I get it.Yeah, I know, just a little
a little there. Yeah, Sothat's that's the questions. I guess.
All right, that's it. Loveyou, guys, I mean it.
Hopefully you feel better there, Lyle. Yeah, I'm so sick. I'm

(01:15:58):
glad you're not over here with that. Not fast enough? Yeah, all
right, well, guys, enjoyyour your last week of the regular season,
I hope in your league, andwe'll be back for playoff week Number
one show next Wednesday. We're crackingthem out, man, We're almost done.
Yeah, and then we hit theplayoffs and then you know, we'll
see the forty nine Ers and theChiefs in the Super Bowl and we'll see

(01:16:21):
what happened. I don't think it'syes, So wait a minute, Okay,
So if you agree, forty nineErs probably at this point, most
likely it might be Cowboys could beyeah yeah, well no, if they
have to go to San Francisco toplay, that ain't happening. So who
do you guys like in the AFCto go? I like I like the

(01:16:41):
Ravens man. Yeah, they're tough. They're a tough out dude. Yeah,
they have they have a solid defense, and they have a really really
good offense, and they have aquarterback that could make you make mistakes.
Rob Yeah, I think I probablyagree. Now, does that mean that
the Lions, you know, couldn'tdo something in the NFC? Now?

(01:17:04):
I mean that's you know, KansasCity is not going to be around there
that when j Long gets back,maybe Jacksonville is there, who knows,
we got five weeks left. Thingscould happen. Maybe the Eagles get their
act together. I doubt it.Yeah, but well there's still the number
one seed. You know, whoknows ball bounce is a weird way.
You know, they got to gointo Dallas and beat Dallas for that continue,

(01:17:27):
right, but after that they havethe Seahawks of Giants twice and the
Cardinals, you know, so anythingcould happen. Yeah there, I mean,
even if they have the number oneseed, I mean, say,
they could just proved that they canjust walk in there and trouse them.
So I'm not yeah, yeah,I'm not optimistic either. I mean,
you know, if they were ifthey were if they were loose this week
in Dallas, if they were playingreally well and losing, I'd go,

(01:17:47):
okay, well, you know thatit happens. But they're not playing well
in losing the first time I've seenthem actually get trounce in the game in
over two years. Yeah, it'sbeen a while, you know. So,
but San Francisco did travel and yougot to give them their product.
So that all being said, I'mnot going to bet against Kansas City until
they forced me to, to behonest with you, in the air,

(01:18:10):
they got to go on the road. Pat Mahomes has never played a playoff
game away from KC. Doesn't meanhe can't. I know, dude.
Fifteen is the X factor for sure. Yeah, he just loves bet so
I know it's weird. All right, we're out enjoy your week Lyle loves
you. He means, I don'tlike he was a friend with benefits.
Robbie on, who the hell raw? He's raw dogging, Yeah right, see you
