Episode Transcript

(00:02):
It's time for the fantasy football guys, bitches, dropping loads of fantasy football
knowledge all up in your ear drums. Here they are Lyle con Keel and
Kevin Moore, the fantasy football guys. That's right where the fantasy football guys.

(00:24):
I'm Kevin and I'm Lyle, AndI kind of have to walk back
when I was talking about about thosebackup quarterbacks last week. Yeah, there's
like there's like four or five ofthose backups finished in the top ten.
It's a whole brave new world,fellas. It is a brave new world

(00:45):
and we're just living in it.When you have thirty backup quarterbacks playing,
the wall of average just says,yeah, somebody's gonna end up in the
top five. Something's gonna float tothe top. I'm just saying, Mitch
Trubisky outscored Josh Allen last week.That is a fact. It is crazy.

(01:07):
Does not mean anything. It doesn't. Last week has nothing to do
with this week, unless your nameis Jake Browning or perhaps Joe Flacco.
Right, dude, Joey ball gamehad himself a day. And from what
I'm understanding, like you know,like the offensive you know, Stefanski and
the offensive staff is like, withhis arm strength and his touch, we're

(01:29):
able to do things in this offensewe haven't been able to do in two
or three years. Well. See, that's the thing about a veteran man.
You never know. Listen, JoeFlacco is obviously not like an elite
quarterback in the NFL. He reallynever was, although he got paid like
one after he won the Super Bowl. Well, how many years do we
hear? Is Joe Flacco elite?Right? If you have to ask,
the answer is no. Was hereally good? He was? Yeah,

(01:53):
he was Super Bowl MVP. Baby, man, you're right up there with
Nicky ball Game. Yeah, man, and Nikki ball Game is a perfect
example of the eye who could bereally good at times. He's a guy
who played quarterback perfectly for three straightgames, not before, not since,

(02:13):
but for those three games he gotthe dub he did. And Joe Flagham
now the starter, named the starterfor the rest of the year, which
means he'll be injured by the thirdquarter of this coming weekend. Of course.
Yeah, that's how it goes.And then Cleveland Brown fans hopes once
again dashed as they are so manytimes. All Right, they could do

(02:37):
some damage day. I mean,they have a really good defense man.
So again, whenever you have areally good d you know, they could
they could slide into that that fifthseed and do a little damage up in
there. All right, So,guys, the biggest thing of this last
weekend, notwithstanding how the Eagles gotthe shy kicked out of him, is
the fact that who knew that PatrickMahomes was such a little bitch I suspected.

(03:06):
Yeah, I don't think that's surprisingto anything. Well, I mean,
you know, he's the best quarterbackin the league. You know,
a couple of rings, you know. I was always suspicious of that.
Listen, Mahomes is fantastic. Idon't but but people were already putting him
in the category with Brady, andI never understood that part of it.
Right, He's he's great. I'mnever gonna like say that Pat Mahomes is

(03:30):
not a great quarterback. He is, but people were already like, well,
Brady was the greatest, Now it'sPat Mahomes. Pat Mahomes is the
now, the new goat and allthis stuff, And I'm like, look,
guys, I don't see that.Yeah, I see him being amongst
the elite quarterbacks that have ever played, for sure, but he's not in

(03:51):
the same cat or he's not evenin the same game Brady. Well,
and I'll tell you why. Imean, Brady was excellent, was the
among the best quarterbacks in the gamefor twenty years. You know, people
are saying, okay, well,you know, Mahomes has lost his receivers
and don't really have good receivers.Are all young? Happened to Brady all
the time? Mahomes lost the enemy? How many how many offensive coordinators did

(04:15):
Brady lose over twenty years? Allof them? Yeah, yeah, you
know. And so here's the otherthing too, And this is the big
distinction that I think we need tomake when it comes to Pat Mahomes and
Brady, is that Brady people forgetabout this. He was never a good
fantasy quarterback, not really. Hewasn't even close until he got Moss and

(04:40):
and the year you know, hebroke the record and all that kind of
stuff. I remember that year withgladness and sadness. Right, we didn't
really I mean, you know,you would draft Payton Manning, you would
draft Drew Brees, you would goafter really, but Brady would get you
to twenty five couple TD but alwayswin right, who cares? But he

(05:03):
wasn't putting up big fantasy numbers untilMonscot there until Moss. Yes, now
I will I will say this.He was my quarterback that year and he
won me. He got me tothe playoffs basically by himself. He had
one off game. And that wasthe first week of the Fantasy playoffs.
I remember, and you lost thatgame, and I got and I got

(05:25):
oosted. I was I was callingBrady names that shouldn't be called by a
father of young children in the so. So you have Pat Mahomes who's in
kind of a similar situation now nowthat he has less talent around him,
and he's never faced that adversity,right, He's been successful every time he's

(05:47):
been in the league. Now Imust say he hasn't lost games. Everybody
lose his game, not a lotof them. He hasn't lost a lot.
He has not. But now he'sfacing some that adversity, and now
we're seeing, uh, the bach, as you so eloquently put it,
come out of him. I thinkI think I actually said little beach.

(06:08):
Okay, fine, but I don'tthink it's all that surprising. Honestly,
when you're a spoiled brad and youdon't get your lollipop, you get a
little but hurt about it. Now, to be fair, we did see
Toby. We did see kid DariusTony line up almost that off sides like

(06:30):
four times before that. And whenReid said I usually get a warning before
they throw a flag, that's whathe meant. Because to Darius Tony all
of a sudden decided not to dolike he's been doing since pee wee football
and look at the ref and pointand go, am I good? And
then the raffles say, back up. He didn't do that all game,
Like for some reason, Robbie,how many times did you, as a

(06:51):
receiver point at the ref to seeif you were lined up properly? Every
time? Every time? Every time, every time. Now, Kadarius Tony
didn't do that. So on thefifth time, when he was as off
side as you can be, hewas actually over the line, over the
football into the defensive side. Theythrow the flag and Mahomes has to be

(07:13):
held back from the from the referee. It's like, what are you gonna
do when you get up there?So now he's apologizing because he realizes it's
gonna cost him thousands of dollars.Yeah, he's an idiot. Here's the
thing, there are legitimate gripes withtheir refereing this year, and I've seen
them in every single game, sureright, I've seen it go go against

(07:34):
the Cowboys. I hate the Cowboys. I've seen it go against the Cowboys.
I've seen the Chiefs win games becauseof it. I've seen them lose
games because I've seen I've seen obviouspass interferance calls that get thrown for the
Chiefs. The officiating in the NFL, the state of officiating is below f

(07:56):
level. Like it's it's I can'teven They're not even turned even assignments at
this point, right, yeah,right, right, it's it's it's horrendous.
Right. However, on that play, Homie was way off side so
he lined up. It wasn't evenclose. No, no, no,

(08:16):
his foot was actually over over theback of the front of the football into
the defensive area. Right, Thereis no complaint. Sorry, Now that
being said, what a great playby Kelsey Holy Schnikey. Yeah. Man,
when I saw that, I'm like, that's an all time play.
We're gonna be seeing that twenty yearsfrom now in crazy things NFL players do

(08:39):
to win ball games. Maybe notnow, we're not going to see it,
but but it was a hell ofa play. Yeah. Yeah,
that's the sort of thing where ifit does count and they win that game
because of that, that's the firstplay in the UH. In the slide
show of Travis Kelcey's Hall of Famepresentation, I think be all right,

(09:00):
he has a few more. Yeah, I don't. I don't think he's
going to be held back behind that. He's a uber backflip, super dug
first ballot without question. Yeah.And but Mahomes when he when he was
up at the at the podium atthe end of the game, he was
right about one thing. Every weekwe're standing up here talking about a call,

(09:22):
we're talking about the refs. He'snot wrong. He's absolutely not wrong.
Now they're starting to pick up callsthat are legitimate, like so so
New York is dialing down and going, yeah, that was a hold,
but it wasn't an egregious hold topick it up. Yeah, what is

(09:43):
happening? Right? It didn't botherthe outcome of the play, So you
know, there's no we talk aboutthe refs at least every other week.
It's there's zero consistency. What's What'sa penalty in one game is not a
penalty in the next game. Sometimesit's play to play. Okay, the
guy held them rate like this.On this play it was a flag.

(10:05):
Same thing happened on the next seriesto the other team. No flag.
So the consistency is brutal, andwe're able to see it in you know,
sixty frame per second slow motion ormore. Here's the thing on boat
listen. I don't think it affectsthe game. I think the Cowboys smoked
the Eagles anyway. Turnovers and andyeah I didn't. I didn't think the

(10:28):
Eagles were gonna win regardless. Right, But on two two Cowboy touchdowns there
was a flag throw and both ofthem were picked up. The first one
was a hold on Jordan Davis,which was an obvious hold, and that
was picked up and it was thirddown. It converted converted to a touchdown.

(10:50):
It would have been third and long. I mean, who knows Cowboys
could convert that, dude. Eaglesgive up third and twenty five all the
time. Sure, yeah, soit's not a thing. But I'm my
question is, why would you pickthat flag up when it was a hold.
It was sure he got held,Like I don't I don't understand throwing

(11:15):
the flag like somebody on the fieldthrough the flag and then you look at
it and you go, oh,that's a hold, but we don't think
it affected to play, so we'llpick it up. That kind of stuff,
dude, it just it. Itlooks like the WWE. And I'm
I am at the point where Idon't want to be a football fan anymore.

(11:39):
It's getting close. I am not. I don't know that I'm strong
enough to not be because I lovesports and I love this kind of stuff.
But it's not just the Eagles,man. I mean, look at
the pass interferinger's call against the Chiefsthat didn't get called. That dude got
mauled. Well, you know this, It's the reason I stopped watching NBA

(12:01):
basketball because because you can, youcan take eight or ten steps, so
as long as you're bobbling the ball, there's no such thing as traveling anymore.
And every every if you breathe ona star, especially, it's a
foul. How many whistles per gamecan we have? I just I just
had to stop with this stuff.Anymore. It It really feels like this

(12:26):
is scripted as much as they canscript it to breed drama and ratings and
all that kind of stuff. Andif that's the case, then it's not
truly real. And if it's nottruly real, I don't want to watch
it. I certainly don't want tobet on it. Dude, No way.
Well, well, it's like it'slike I said in on Twitter or

(12:50):
X a couple of weeks ago,it's like, can I can I bet
on the over under? In flags? Can I bet on the over under?
And in yards that the ref isgoing to give one or the other,
I'll bet on that because that's somethingthat's relatively consistent. Well, now
they're arbitrarily picking up flags. You'lllook at the second touchdown for for the

(13:13):
Cowboys, which by the way,doesn't matter. They would have scored.
They were on the one yard line. Yeah right, they would have scored
on n They could have run aquarrreck sneak Tony Pollard, they would have
scored. I'm not bitching about that. What I'm saying is they ran a
pick play and they said, oh, well it was within one yard.
No it wasn't. James Bradberry wasin the end zone. That is beyond

(13:37):
a yard if you're on the one, sure it is. Yeah, So
like what they threw the flag thatthat should be a penalty. And the
thing is is that the NFL canhave good officiating games. All it takes
is money. All it takes hismoney, and they got plenty of it.

(14:01):
So all you have to do is, if you're going to be an
NFL referee, it's a full timejob for you. There's education year round.
Blah blah blah. We're going tohave New York and somebody uh with
that, you know, full timeaccess to every angle, and we're gonna
quickly say whether it was a flagor not, whether it was a hit
to the head or not. Whatever, Well, we'll get it correct because

(14:22):
being correct is much better than thetradition of, you know, let the
guys on the field make the calls. No, let's get the calls correct.
They can do it. All ittakes is see this bullshit where I
don't. I don't want to seethis bullshit where they go, oh,
well, it didn't affect the play. If somebody throws a flag, Oh
yeah, if somebody throws a flag, it counts It's a flag, right,

(14:43):
that's it. That's it. Stoppicking it. How are you going
to pick the flag up? Yeah? When we can see it home that
and everybody in the stadium on thereplay can see it was alahole. Before
they even threw the flag, Iwas like, oh, that's holding.
That's going to come back immediately whenI saw right. And again, I

(15:03):
don't I don't think that it wouldhave affected anything. I think the Cowboys
still roll the Eagles. I don't. I don't think it's a thing like
I'm not bitching about the officiating affectingthe game. What I'm saying is this
is a larger issue that affects everysingle game. I watch every game.
Yeah, I mean, because really, you know, only one game a
weekend is the Eagles, and Iwatch the rest of them. I mean,

(15:26):
Robbie and I sit there looking atthe red zone channel, so we
see the officiating of every game,good and bad. I care less about
those, so they don't stand outin my mind as much, and I'm
not as angry about them. ButI see them and I go, Dude,
if I was a Chiefs fan,I'd be furious about that. Yeah,
if I was a Bengals fan,I would lose my mind at this

(15:48):
moment, you know, and it'severy game. So anyway, man,
I don't know. I just like, if the NFL is not real,
if it's not legitimate, then whatdo we all do? So he used
this whole cogan and and uh,macho man. If that's the case,
at least they were honest about it. Well, they became honest about it.

(16:12):
They were about it. I mean, yeah, there was a wink
and a nudge you know, everybody. They they were you know, God,
come on, they were honest aboutit. Yeah. When you're when
you're wearing glitter, you can't betaken seriously. Yeah, yeah, I
mean Rick Flair, come on.Whoo. Anyway, all right, we

(16:33):
digress. We were half an hourin and we haven't even talked about a
game, all right, So quicknews here. It's all about injuries.
Bre Saw limited in practice with hisankle. Oddly enough, Aaron Rodgers something
about an achilles misspractice today. RiekKill also missed with that ankle. Glad
to see he came back in RaheemMostert has arrest today with his knee and

(16:55):
because he's a veteran, uh,Devon ah Shane Toe misspracticed today. Tas
some Hill who was out last week, so I had to find another tight
end. Limited in practice today witha foot in the hand. Rashid Shaheed
with a thigh limited in practice.Chris olave A missed practice with his ankle.
Jamal Williams has a growing issue.Limited in practice today. So that's

(17:17):
like basically the entire Saints skill positionsroom right there. DJ Moore has an
ankle misspracticed. Darren Waller with hishamstring hopefully will be off IR this week.
Maybe get in a little bit ofthat Tommy Cutlet's action, you know
what I'm saying, hey, collectionthe adults. Marquise Brown has a heel

(17:44):
issue misspracticed today. Brian Robinson Jr. With his hammy also out. I
can tell you, as a asa Antonio Gibson shareholder, I think maybe
mister Robinson needs to hold out foryou know, another week, just to
get that hammy set. Dulton SureSchultz has a hand me back at practice
today. Nico Collins missed practice withthat calf boy. The the the Wonderful

(18:07):
Young Receiving Corps for the Texans justdecimated Collins out. Tank out now Noah
Brown apparently has some value. Whoknew? D Mario Douglas concussion is back
at practice today. Ramandere Stevenson withhis ankle not at practice. Zeke Elliott
shareholder is very happy if he missedanother game. Let's see C. J.

(18:30):
Strouden out of practice with his concussion. Why would why would they go
back to re Remondrac You see theball, you'd think. But you know,
if you got a guy healthy andyou're giving him money, you kind
of give him the ball, soyou know. But look, I mean,
we'll talk a little bit later aboutwhat Zeke did, but geez,
he's ramondre Stono's first contract. Hemight be you're still you're still paying him.

(18:52):
I mean, you know it's notmaybe not been ten million, but
you know, eight hundred dollars ayear or something. Okay, they're probably
paying Zeke more than they were payingRamandre. I don't know what the veteran
minimum is, but that's what's getting. Yeah, he's probably just chock full
of bonuses, you know, atenhancements. Justin Jefferson in his chest as
he expects to play Saturday. Thatwould be excellent. Course, he got

(19:17):
six points. I was hoping forthirty, got bumped out of the Scotch
Fish Bawl this week. I wasunder by eighteen points. Did not make
the top five hundred, but itdid make the top twelve to fifty,
so that's not too bad. SeeDawson Knox and Daltonton Kincaid. Well Dalton
was a practice fully Kincaid limited todaythey have issues. See Jonathan Taylor with

(19:40):
his thumb misspractice again Wednesday. TrevorLawrence expected to practice in full today.
I think he did. Josh Jacobswith his quad mispractice yesterday. No a
word about today. Isaiah Pachecko notat practice today. Godwin misspractice today.
He has a neck issue. Thisis interesting. James Robinson and I think

(20:00):
he's If you just took the teamshe's been on this year, you could
call him a journeyman. Sign Nowwith the Saints, I think this is
his third team this season. Buthe's still getting a paycheck, so what
the hell? Jamar Chase didn't practiceearlier this week. Nick Mullins is going
to start Week fifteen for your MinnesotaVikings. Guys. Dude, there,

(20:22):
I don't know what to think,man. The Vikings are I like,
imagine, imagine looking back and going, man, I wish we still had
Kirk Cousins. I'll tell you whatSteelers wish they had him right now?
All right, So boys, let'stalk about the Thursday Night or we got
the Chargers, we got the Raiders. Okay, moving on. There's a

(20:45):
couple of guys here maybe Okay,no, no, Keenan not with what
what's the guy's name? Stick?Easton sick y'a, I'll pass North Dakota
State. Wait man Easton? Stickkind of sounds like something you'd have to
look up on Urban Dictionary to findthe definition of. Uh. Yeah,

(21:07):
I mean listen, man, whatare you gonna do? Right? So,
yeah, I'd love to play Keenan, but he's he's questionable with the
heel and he's got a questionable quarterbackthrowing to him. So it's a playoffs
maybe maybe maybe maybe still even atthat. And from the Raiders side you
have Aidan O'Connell, who I don'tknow. Josh Jacobs has been decent lately,

(21:32):
but he's questionable with the quad asmentioned, so if he's out,
it's gonna be z a mere White, no mirror Abdullah, what are you
gonna do with them. Yeah,the Raiders just lost a game three to
nothing. I don't want any ofthe offensive players on that team. Hard
to sit Davonte, But in aPPR I mean, DeVante had ten targets
called seven passes in that game forfifty three yards man twelve point three PPR

(21:53):
points in his last two that's atleast flexworthy still playing Devanta. Gonna play
Davante, everybody somebody else? Yeah, fit, Yeah, we talked about
the Vikings, so we could alltalk about the Chargers and Raiders more.
But I'm not even sure I'm goingto watch it, let alone talk about
it. I'm not gonna watch it. All right. So there's three Saturday

(22:15):
games this week, boy. Sothe first Saturday game Sairity. The first
Saturday game is the Minnesota Vikings againstthe Cincinnati Bengals. So Nick Mullen's starting
this week. I'm not going nearthat. Love it. Alexander Madison not
necessarily productive now. He's got anankle issue, so probably going to be
ty Chandler. I'm not going anywherenear that. I will play Justin Jefferson

(22:40):
if he plays, I will playTJ. Howkinson just because they're you know
the best guys in the game,they're going to do something at some point
being thrown to by somebody. CincinnatiBengals dude, Jake Browning. In his
last two he's fifty of sixty one. That's eighty one percent completion for you
and me, six hundred and twentynine yards passing yards and three passing touchdowns

(23:03):
in that span plus two rushing touchdowns. Dude, he reminds me of Nicky
ball game a little bit, alittle bit right now as a backup.
Listen, Bengals fans do not losehope. I'm telling you he's got he's
got game. He's playing like hebelongs. He's got game, and they
got They have enough talent that ifhe could just get it to the people

(23:26):
with the with the the wheels.Telling me, man, things things are
weird in the AFC. Who's good? I mean, the the Ravens keep
winning, but they barely won lastweek, so I don't know, man,
Yeah, they had to pull offsome some last minute heroics to get
the win. So I'm saying,and there's like seven, six, seven

(23:48):
and six teams right now, soyeah, it could definitely sneak into the
playoffs. They're getting in the playoffsand they're gonna go at least one win
my prediction. Wow, this justin Yeah, all right, give the
seventh spot. They're going to haveto play in Miami in Buffalo. Okay,

(24:08):
those teams are very beatable. Yeah, I mean we saw the Dolphins
give up fourteen points in three minutesthe other night, so I mean anything
is possible, right, I meanthe Eagles beat both of those teams.
Yeah, so apparently they have tosuck. All right. So Joey Mixon

(24:29):
last couple of games, you know, against Baltimore sixty nine yards rushing,
thirty one yards, receiving, caughta touchdown. Pass didn't do so great
against Pittsburgh, only had eight carriesfor sixteen yards there and had caught to
for forty four So not awful,but not you know, only eight points
in a PPR. But against Jacksonvillesixty eight yards rushing, two touchdowns,

(24:52):
forty nine yards receiving on six catches, against Indianapolis seventy nine yards rushing a
touchdown, three catches for forty sixI mean, you know, over one
hundred yards in the touchdown at leastfor the past couple of games, and
DC yardage that gets you points beforethat. So yeah, I mean it's
not like you have to be talkedinto starting Joe Mixon. But yeah,

(25:14):
I mean he's doing really well.Like he he didn't do well earlier,
but he seems to have found hisgroove. And Chase Brown is a guy
to grab and stash. I'm notgoing to throw him in now, but
if grab him, put him atthe end of your bench, and if
something happens to Mixon, he's aguy to play. He had a very
few touches the other day, buthe did. He made the most out
of him. He's a burner dayin a bunch of leagues and eventually had

(25:37):
to cut him loose. Oh wasit doing anything? Yeah? But yeah,
man, he's a burner. He'sone of those guys you get in
Dynasty and leave on the taxi squaduntil Mixon's contract runs out. Yeah,
I got I got a bunch ofshares of him there. Yeah, smart
Jamar. Chase has an ankle.He's questionable, but yeah, if he's
got to playing. Certainly, Tylerboys with a foot. T Higgins has

(26:02):
just been okay. I mean he'syeah, maybe a flex but uh yeah,
he's not being consistent enough for meto actually love putting t Higgins in,
but you could do a lot worse. Browning is playing better, and
T Higgins, you know, isa good receiver, so eventually he's got
to break out of this funk.And no tight ends to speak up for
the Bengals. So for your lineup, sure Steelers, Colts and good god,

(26:26):
Uh yeah, what are you gonnado with this? Not gonna play
Mitchie tribb uh Nagy I would liketo like, but he's been top ten
in the PPR League once this year, so Fade Deonta's questionable. Uh when

(26:48):
he's in, I mean, he'sscored in two straight games. So if
he plays maybe as a flex,sure fire move I love. But again,
no production from the coltside. Thestash continues to be average. So
if you're desperate at quarterback, ifyou need fifteen points, he'll do that

(27:10):
for you. But that's like that'shis wheelhouse, you dude. I have
a second quarterback and I'm gritting myteeth every week. Dude, he can
also roll you six, he can't, you know what I mean. I'd
like to play Zach Moss, butnot gonna just like no real production to
speak of. I will say thatMichael Pittman is a star wide receiver in

(27:34):
the NFL. If he were ona different team, I think he would
be among the elite wide receivers.I mean, his numbers do not make
sense for an Indianapolis could They justdon't. But they're not They're still not

(27:55):
great. He's still a flex foryou're a wide receiver too or whatever.
Like he's He's still not amongst thebest. But I mean his last three
games one O seven, one ohfive ninety five, he had ten eleven
and eight catches in those and atouchdown in the knicks. There not bad
numbers for being thrown to by Minshuright right, if he was on a

(28:15):
different team or had Anthony richardson rightfor sure. I mean he's getting up
there a little bit. He's twentysix. You know, the next couple
of years, maybe he goes toa different team. Pay attention to him.
But you know I would play Ilike Josh downs too, but I
would not play him obviously. There'sjust no production. Yeah no, uh

(28:41):
no Mo, Ali Cox Love there, no Kyle Branson, no no,
no stop. Mo called a touchdownlast week? Sure, Okay, yeah,
I think it was his first catchof the season. Do you need
do you need seven points in aPPR? Because that's what he got.
Yeah, yeah, I'll definitely passon that. Yeah. One one thought

(29:03):
about Pittman there is I think he'sprobably gonna be pretty cheap in the off
season for Dynasty this year because he'sgoing to be twenty seven. But he
looked real good the first couple ofgames with Richardson. So if any of
you listeners out there are in theDynasty League where it looks like the next
couple of years is going to beyour window for winning the championship, Pittman's

(29:26):
a really, really, really goodaddition if you can get him now,
or if you can get him inthe off season, if anybody want to
trade me Pittman, I'm good.I'll listen to offers exactly. I also
did look up that Zeke is makingabout six hundred thousand dollars more than Rimandre
is this year. Well, yeah, yeah, I'm I'm definitely recommending him.

(29:52):
All right, So what game ismine? Bronco's going to Lions.
Lions kind of looked like ought tobe a good one actually, because on
the wing, when team's on thedown. Yeah. What's surprising about the
Broncos though, is how outstanding themediocre they are in a fantasy perspective.

(30:15):
Russell Wilson has gotten between thirteen andfifteen points the past six weeks. Very
consistent, but just solid middle ofthe pack. Uh So you can roll
him as a QB two if you'reone of those leagues, but really should
not be a starting quarterback for you, but very consistent. That's something I

(30:38):
guess. Yeah, I mean,you can pretty much guarantee a set amount
of points, but he's not gonnathrow for three zero, five and four
touchdowns or anything. Running back onthis team, it's Gravante Williams. He's
kind of up and down. He'llbust out and have a twenty point game,

(30:59):
but for the most part he's gettingeleven or twelve most games, which
is flexworthy. Maybe an RB twoupside not amazing though, receivers similar sort
of thing. I guess Corlan Sutton'sprobably the best option there. He's averaging
like thirteen and a half points ina PPR, which is pretty good,

(31:22):
but a lot of that value isbased on touchdowns. Now he's catching the
touchdowns, he's scoring the points.But you can't always count on that.
He's always kind of been a boomerus player and he'd be busting a lot
more if he wasn't catching the touchdowns. So I find it hard to recommend

(31:42):
anybody because it's everyone's kind of midDo you guys agree, Yeah? I
mean, you know, I'd loveto love you know a lot of those
guys, but there's no consistency there, and sometimes you get blanked, and
you know, it's the playoffs,you gotta you gotta throw your best guys
in there. Yeah, So Imean on that team, Yeah, if

(32:07):
it's if it had to be somebody, it's it's sudden because I mean,
the guy has ten touchdowns this yearin thirteen games, so pretty good.
But you never know when you're gonnaget that zero touchdown game and end up
with two points. You know,Yeah, are hard to do there.
Other side of the field, youwant to talk about a guy that is

(32:30):
definitely mediocre. Jared Goff really hasnot had a phenomenal game at all this
season. I think his best performancewas he had a three touchdown game with
no interceptions, only seven points.You know, he's not going to put
up a forty five burger like Alanor Mahomes or Lamar might do. He's

(32:55):
another one of those QB two guys, but it seems like their offense has
kind of been figured out because theyreally haven't been able to do much the
past couple of weeks. So Idon't know if I would trust him to
be my quarterback, even quarterbacks twoat this point. The running backs on
this team, however, are fantastic. I would be starting both of them

(33:19):
every chance I get. I thinkit's starting to flip more towards Gibbs being
the primary point scorer, but Montgomerystill is going to get you fifteen.
He's a short guy, so he'sgoing to get the goal line stuff.
So well, he's he's the shortothers guy allegedly, but they're still running
like power with him. They're runningoutside the tackle like he's Both of them

(33:43):
are doing both things. Yeah,it's true, So both of them,
even if you have both of themon your team, play both of them.
They're they're both in the score points. Really, the only receiver that's
where that's worth of dam is I'mand raw. He didn't do anything last
week, which is really shocking.Nine targets, only three catches for twenty

(34:04):
one yards. I mean, maybeit's the division game thing, but it
was shockingly bracketed. Well, Iwas hoping Jamison Williams would be good enough
to you know, drag some ofthe coverage to his side and leave Almona
to you know, do Almanrah things. But not so much. Yeah.
Well, I mean he couldn't doanything in the preseason. He wasn't able

(34:29):
to be with the team for thefirst was it six weeks? Four weeks?
Yeah. He just keeps happening tothis guy. Yeah, I mean
I keep thinking that. The theway I'm coping is saying, you know,
well, if he gets an offseasonand it's actually with the team week
one and can participate and they canactually build the offensive scheme for him to

(34:50):
be a part of it, thenhe'll be good. Just keep shoveling those
ifs onto that file, my brother. Yeah, yeah, but that's what
I gotta do. Yeah. So, Amen, ra is the is the
receiver start. You could probably playJamo as a flex, but you're really
most gonna get twelve points. He'snot he's not targeted. He'll he'll get

(35:12):
a hand off every once in awhile, but really it's it's nothing,
nothing, fantastic. Josh Reynolds hasupside, but he's only had four games
all season where he does anything,so probably just want to stay away from
everybody else. And then of courseyou've got my guy the Porta Potti had
a down week last week, butstill six targets for a tight end.

(35:34):
That's pretty good. Gonna be startinghim, Yeah, all right, so
talk about a pile of steaming.I don't know. Atlanta Falcons at the
Carolina Panthers, uh lyle get Readybro So, Desmond Ritter flashes of competence,
but not nearly enough to probably keephis job. Frankly, I think
the Falcons go quarterback as soon asthey can next year. Bijon Robinson.

(36:00):
Earlier in the year we were youknow, he wasn't doing anything. He
wasn't getting the ball. Last coupleof weeks, you know, he had
he had a great game against NewOrleans, ninety one yards on the ground
in a touchdown, thirty two yardsof the air and a touchdown. You
know against the Jets, you know, he had fifty three yards on the
ground, twenty six through the air, had a touchdown last week against Tampa

(36:22):
thirty four and fifty four, sothey're actually giving him, you know,
more touches it seems now. Sohe's at least a flex. You know,
twenty seven PPR points against New Orleanseleven and almost twenty against Tampa Jets
and Tampa, so he's at leasta flex, which is good for a
you know, first round pick foryour fantasy team. I know you wanted

(36:43):
to be more, but sorry,that's what it is. So yeah,
I give him a role as aflex. Drake London would love to see
that guy actually what he could dowith the decent quarterback. Had a great
game against Tampa Bucks seventy two onten catches, almost thirty pp points.
What's that? Yeah, a couplefantastic catches. Oh yeah, he's great,

(37:05):
but his quarterback is ass So whatis he supposed to do right against?
Against New Orleans the five for ninetyone on seven targets. Only caught
one of his five targets against theJets, so one point eight points.
So it's really hard to recommend himbecause as Ritter goes or doesn't, London
goes or doesn't. So you can'treally recommend him as anything more than a

(37:28):
desperation flex. And and Pitts fallsinto the same category. He's just a
guy until he isn't and and Rittererthrows him the ball and he catches and
runs for a touch that happens soinfrequently though. Can't recommend that, dude,
And I can't recommend any Panthers atall. No Panthers, cool speaker,
not recommending U. Dude. Igot Bears Browns. Yeah, you

(37:54):
got some players in there. Yougot a player. There's a couple.
Uh. You know, I playedjustin fields for the fantasy memes. He
does, he does some things.He was QB three this week, sure,
uh and also played DJ Moore.He continues to do wild stuff.

(38:15):
He scored two touchdowns last week,including one on the ground, which was
pretty awesome. First rushing touchdown ofhis career. Yeah. Man, I
like Kolkaman as as a as atight end, so okay, I'll give
him a go. But he's justa guy. Don't get excited. I
know we talked about Joey Flacco andstuff. It's excited. It's it's cool

(38:38):
to have him back. Is thatis cool? I mean, dude.
He threw over three eleven and threetouchdowns. Yeah, did have two turnovers
though, well that's kind of thegame, ain't. Yeah, but he
was still QB ten. I meanyou could do worse, like by a
couple players in the twelve team.Sure I would. I wouldn't get too

(39:00):
excited, but you know the Bearsdefense tends to be a little bit lax,
so I would expect another good gamefrom him, so you know,
we'll see. I wouldn't start,uh you what in DFS. He'd be
cheap as hell and I would playhim DFS. Sure, yeah, Ford
fine Cooper playing a PPR djoku buddyall of a sudden two TVs last week?

(39:28):
What's up? Best Titan in theNFL? Tight end number two.
I'd play him, but he's justa guy. I wouldn't get too excited.
He's not gonna do that a lot. He's got four TVs on the
year, so don't get excited.But again, new quarterback looking for a
guy who knows that's it. Man, I'm not gonna spend a lot of
time in this game. I'm notroby. Wow. I mean you want

(39:52):
to talk about like random people forever? So yeah, So I just got
a notification from ESPN Keenan Allen isout. Well, there you have it,
so that drops that number of playersI'm going to take on the on
the Chargers to zero. Yeah,yeah, being out in all Indeed,

(40:13):
I'm just saying my next game isBucks at Packers. Oof. This is
really really bad games this week.Boys. Yeah, you should talk about
them for forty five minutes probably.Yeah, take a deep dive. Bro
Uh, Baker's okay, QB twoat best for shot. White's really good

(40:34):
at scoring points. Not the bestrusher, but it'll catch passes in a
PPR. He's a He's definitely amust start you're in a standard league.
Mike Evans had a down week.Wait mate, what was that sound about?
If if you're in a standard league? Maybe, I see Mike Evans
had a down week. But heis really the only one that can do
anything on this offense, catching acatching a pass down the field. Uh,

(40:59):
still gonna art him. Do youknow? Chris Godwin's wife can call
the head coach a liar in socialmedia. That's what she can do.
Oh, she can't call me aliar though, And I went her dad
was my high school football coach.Yeah, del Percio, right, yep,
yeah, yeah, I didn't likehim. Then she brought the heat

(41:20):
to coach Bolls. I mean,Chris is probably like, oh my god,
come on. Yeah, He's likeplease, like, can you not
got I'm gonna be in the lockerroom with these boys, come on please.
Yeah, he's definitely catching ship likeyou're your wife. I had to
come up and say all this way, you bro, come on. Oh
she's jack though. Have you seenher? Yeah, she's an athlete herself,
incredibly fit. Yeah. I thinkthey actually trained together, and I

(41:46):
think they film it and they havea channel. I wouldn't be surprised.
Yeah. Uh, Anyway, allthis talk about him, I'm not going
to start him. He's not scoringfantasy point watch out. You're gonna get
a phone call, bro, listen. I know, uh, and I
know I talk about him all thetime, but I'm not going to be
starting Kada this week. I know. I'm sorry. Moving on to the

(42:12):
Packers, h Jordan loved playing better. I think he's kind of sitting right
between QB two and QB one,So you could probably start him if you
had one of the love the Packersfans for all of a sudden like out
see out three. Now we gotthree Hall of Fame quarterbacks in a Row.
It's like, wait, what,he had a couple of good games,
but let's yeah, don't put himon the Ring of Honor yet.

(42:37):
Uh. For the running backs forthis team, if Aaron Jones plays and
isn't going to be on a snapcount, you could play him and expect flex
numbers. Another yeah, if he'snot playing, I wouldn't start any other
running back because no other running backon the team can score points. Concur

(42:58):
the receivers for this team. Teamare interesting. It seems like only one
can score points at a time.This past week he was Jaden Reid.
Last week he was Christian Watson.Week before that, I think it was
Wicks. Like, all of themhave the potential to, you know,
go for one hundred and a touchdown, but only one at a time.

(43:22):
So you could probably start any ofthem and expect, you know, on
average flex numbers, but you mightget disappointed as well. And I'm not
going to be starting Tucker Craft.Thank god, I don't blame you,

(43:42):
all right, So you're gonna havethe New York Jets traveling south to the
warmth of Miami to take on theDolphins. Zach Wilson is questionable with a
knee can't play him, can't playquestionable quarterback. I mean, otherwise I'm
all over Zach Wilson anyway. BreeceHall double digpp here points in his last
nine you know you'd be. Itsurprises me that he's as effective as he

(44:05):
is with such a terrible offensive aroundhim. Dude caught nine, had nine
targets, caught eight for eighty sixyards in a touchdown against Houston. Ran
for forty on ten touches. Sothat's four that's not bad per but just
you look at his game log.You know, his worst game in his
last I don't know, the entireyear since like Week five against the Jets

(44:29):
was a ten pointer against the Jets, I'm sorry, against the Chargers in
Week nine. So yeah, Imean, even though the offense is awful,
Breese just keeps scoring points, Sosure, why not. Same thing
goes for Garrett Wilson. Guy hadnine catches on fourteen targets in a buck

(44:49):
eight against Houston. You know,he's had some really down weeks. Against
Buffalo he only had two catches fornine yards. But that kind of talent
is hard to say no to.So yeah, I definitely roll those two
guys at least in a flex forGarrett Wilson from the Dolphins side, and
I'm a little worried about too.He's only averaging two hundred and fifty four
yards per game in his last three, does have three touchdowns in that span,

(45:12):
but didn't have any against Tennessee.I know they have a decent defense
at all, but geez, alittle worried about that situation. I'm not
saying sid him. He's got toomuch talent around him. All he has
to do is chuck the ball outand he can go ninety yards, so
that's worth something. Raheem Mostart's questionableall of a sudden. I saw that
well after we started recording the showhere. But dude has five touchdowns in

(45:35):
his last three. Even though achange's back Mostar, it's still the guy.
You know, Chain's certainly flexible ina PPR, but really Mostar,
it's the running back to have.Of course, he's gonna play Reek Kill.
Yeah, he's questionable with that ankle. If he's up, he's in.
Jalen Waddle is a little bit rollerCoastery this year. If you will
up down, et cetera. ButI'm not gonna not play the dude I'll

(45:59):
definitely throw him into a lex Andthat's pretty much it from the Dolphins.
You think there'd be more, butreally it's the top five guys on the
team in terms of skill positions,et cetera. Makes sense, buddy,
talking about skill positions and the like. We got Tommy got its coming in
and down in the paison over hein cohering Italian noises. Not gonna play

(46:25):
him, obviously, would play Saquon. People were talking about Tommy DeVito for
maybe the guy for the future.Maybe he's a quarterback of the future for
this Giants team. It's hilarious andI hope so it's a great story.
It's a great story. It's afantastic story, you know. But they

(46:45):
just spent a lot of money onDanny Dimes. So I hope they do
it because it'll keep them in thebasement of the division for a while.
Yeah, the last it is agood Giants team. Yeah, seriously.
I mean they're the most successful franchisereally since the Cowboys. They won too,

(47:06):
that's true. I can't really arguewith it, right, I Mean,
Eagle have been to three but theylost two of them. So yeah,
I'm fully expecting to lose to theGiants this year, though, Yeah,
we'll see. I don't I don'tthink the Eagles will lose another game
but until the playoffs, but we'llsee. Yeah, they're gonna do just

(47:27):
enough to tease us to get usback in and then whatever. Well,
it's like they say in ted Lasso, it's the hope that kills you,
yep. And that's why I've givenup all hope of anything, and I
don't care about them anymore. Okay, gonna play I don't gonna play Saquon
obviously, he scores too much,although he did a big fumble last week.

(47:50):
But still, I really really reallylike Jalen Hyatt. I would not
play him ever, but I wouldpay attention to him for next year.
If you're in a keeper league ora dynasty league, I would. I
would have this guy on my squad. He's only six foot tall, he's
not huge, but he's kind ofthe the new prototype wide receiver, which

(48:14):
is a like a smaller skinny dude. But these guys are kind of coming
up now. Like everybody said that, you know, the Slim Reaper was
gonna get just blown out of theNFL. Well we're seeing this happen more
and more. Now he's another oneof those dudes. I think he's gonna
be incredibly dangerous, and I thinkyou can have a really good game against
this New Orleans pasty who is inthe bottom half of the league. From

(48:37):
the New Orleans side. You know, I was watching them play and I
was like, wow, like theircar is actually not that bad. Then
I looked at his numbers and Iwas like, oh, yeah, yes,
like they won. He passes theeye test, but the numbers test,
he doesn't do it. But thenumbers are just like he threw for
one nineteen against Carolina. You know, it's like a god one hundred and

(49:00):
ninety. He had two touchdowns.Did he get to win it? Yeah?
Yeah, four point six per attemptand it's not like passing and he
completed eighteen passes. Wow Jesus,Yeah, clubs rushing average is higher than

(49:20):
that, right, It's just like, dude, are you what are you
doing? And it's not his lowestof the season. Actually, his lowest
was in a loss against Tampa,which was three point four per attempt.
And somehow Dennis Allen keeps a straightface. I don't know how. Yeah,
So anyway, yes, they gota w after losing three in a
row. Good for them, allthat stuff. Yetta, Yeah, would

(49:43):
play Kamara. He's still a focalpoint in that offense. Scored three in
a row. Love him, Alavewould love to play. Scored last week
again. But he's questionable, andthen you got questionable quarterback play. Taysom
Hill also questioned. But if he'sin, at least I know that they're
going to work him into the offense, and as a tight end, I

(50:07):
just want a piece of whatever thehell he's doing. Unless I have a
steady eddy tight end that I'm definitelygonna play, I'll roll the dice man.
Why not? Because you know hecan catch two passes and still end
up running the ball for another fiftyyards and and and scoring a touchdown.

(50:29):
Right, So I would play him, assuming he's healthy. But that like
this, this entire game is amess. Yeah. I think probably Kamara
is the reason why you're only seeingfour point sixty yards per attempt from Maybe
he's still eighteen throws, you know, twenty six passes, eighteen catches,

(50:52):
four point six per he had onehundred and nineteen yards. Like that's crazy
talk. It's pretty horrible. Whatkind of passes are you throwing? Man?
Just check downs to Kamar? Probably? I mean, how do you
not get five yards on a pass? Play? Well? He probably?
He probably is. Seriously, howdo you not It's four point six?

(51:15):
Right, so how do you notget? Like? Who where are you
throwing it twenty six times? Ifyou're not getting five yards in a tent?
What is happening? Bubble screens?The blowout? It's just all screens?
Yeah, anyway, go ahead,all right? I have a Division

(51:35):
game which is probably would have beeninteresting if Stroud wasn't hurt, But we
got Houston going to Tennessee Titans kindof what they kind of a shocking win
Monday night. I thought it wasgoing to be kind of a blowout,
I'll be honest with you, butyeah, they came away with it for

(51:55):
Houston. I think if Stroud iswhich I don't think he will. Usually
concussions take you out for at leasta week. But if he does play,
then I think you obviously are goingto be starting him. I think
if Nico Collins don't Schultz play aswell, they'll be worth playing if Stroud
is in. Basically, if Stroudis healthy, the players on this team

(52:21):
are worth playing. Singletary is probablygonna be able to do something. He's
probably not going to get thirty pointsagain, but you know, he's been
i think, taking the majority ofthe touches, so he'll get you ten
to twelve points, which is prettygood flex. If Stroud doesn't play,
if we've got the Giraffe Davis Millsunder center, I think that like halves

(52:44):
the fantasy value of the rest ofthe Skoll players. Now. I guess
Nico did have some success with himlast year, but not nearly to the
degree that he was succeed in thisyear. I think if Stroud is in,

(53:04):
Nico has the potentially be a widereceiver one. If Strout is not
in, he's probably a flex playerat best. Schultz is one of the
most targeted and highest production tight endswith Stroud in. If it's Mills,
then he probably might be the numbertwelve tight ends. So I think there's
a really big disparity between the productiondepending on who the quarterback is. For

(53:29):
the Titans. Levis looks good,but similar to Derek Carry, is not
really putting up crazy numbers. Definitelyat the lower end of QB two,
probably not going to be started ina normal league with one quarterback. Derrick

(53:50):
Henry has six touchdowns in the pastthree games. He's gotten two each week.
Harkening back to the old times.Yeah, now he's not getting a
lot of yards, don't care,but you know he pretty much count on
those touchdowns now. And if it'snot Stroud, if it's Davis Mills,

(54:12):
I kind of think there might bea run first min not that there isn't
always a run for a mentality fromthe Titans, but the game script is
probably gonna be more for running,so probably gonna see a little bit more
Derrick Henry. Not really a shockerto say I'm gonna start the guy.
What might be a shocker is thatI'm also gonna suggest you start Taj Spears.

(54:35):
He is a weapon in the passinggame for the Titans, something that
Derek Henry really can't do. Sohe's actually getting He's getting snaps on the
field the same time as Henry.They're both in the backfield at the same
time. He's been over sixty percentsnapshare the past two games. He's out

(54:58):
snapping Derek hen Yeah, that's beenhappening a little bit over the course of
the year. It's a little bitcrazy, isn't it. Yeah, it
is so with that, and he'snot he's not getting any handoffs. I
mean against Indy two weeks ago hehad sixteen. Last week only had seven.
But he's getting you know, fiveor more targets pretty much every week

(55:22):
in the passing game, making themost of it and getting good yardage there.
So I think he's a flex atleast if this game ends up being
competitive, I think you're going tosee a lot more of him. So
I think that's definitely worth worth somethingthere pass catches on this team, it's
really just the hop that's really allthey need. So definitely want to have

(55:45):
him on the on your starting roster. But that's basically it for the dates.
Got you Kansas City going to NewEngland, play the top defense in
the league against the run anyway,and pretty good against the pass too,
So he got Patty Mahomes. Wetalked about him probably more than we needed
to at the top of the show, but dude's only been a top ten
quarterback once in the last five Canyou sit Patty Mahomes? I mean does

(56:10):
the name, doesn't matter, it'sthe points. If you have a better
option, pine him and we talkedabout it is that the wide receivers,
the drop passes. I mean,Rashi Rice is coming up pretty big.
He's two TV's in his last three, averaging eighty one yards a game in
his last three. He's doing prettywell. Kadarius Tony is the drop lineup

(56:34):
Wrongmeister marcuz Vede scanting drops wide opentouchdowns. There's like, there's film of
like him, just dropping pass afterpass. You can look it up on
YouTube. Sky Moore has turned intoa nothing burger. Justin Watson gets a
couple of targets a game. Maybeyou know, So you know, if
you have, if you have somebodywho you think is in a better situation.

(56:58):
This week it's playoffs. I'd ratherI'd rather win with somebody nominate named
Mahomes than throw him in there justbecause he's pat and lose it. Isaiah,
but Checko's got a shoulder issue.It's a bad matchup. New England's
number one against running backs and thefantasy running backs in the last four.
If he's out, probably McKinnon ismore likely to have a touchdown than Clyde

(57:21):
Udwards. Hilaire is, So youknow, Mahomes if you gotta But Checko
if he's in Rashid Rice for sure, and Travis Kelce. Really that's about
it from from the Chiefs this yearcrazy And for the Patriots it's it's Zeke
Elliott, right. We talked aboutthat. He's actually been decent ish,

(57:42):
you know, all year long.But last game when it was just him
and Stevenson was out twenty two carriessixty eight yards, so it's only three
point one per but that's not wherehe made his Hey, dude, caught
seven of eight targets for seventy twoyards and a tutter. Got to play
that, dude, And I'm outon that game, all right. Got
forty nine Ers Cardinals. This isa trap game for the forty winers,

(58:08):
believe it or not. Divisional divisionalgame. You can throw the records out
the window. Yeah no, youcan't be careful with this one. However,
I expect the Diners to continue arole. Yeah uh there there they
Their offense plays it really safe andwith the amount of firepower they have and
the coaching they have, it isbananas. Anyway, play everyone from the

(58:30):
forty nine ers side. Party's goingto be fine. He's going to do
some damage. You might want toplay Christian McCaffrey. I don't know.
Should I talk about that? ShuldI talk about how Deebo has a million
touchdowns in his last few games.No, you're good. Everybody knows play.

(58:50):
I played Kittle. But here's thesurprising thing I think is that I
would play all these Cardinals as well. I would play Kyler Murray obviously.
I think that's pretty obvious. Althoughhis numbers aren't like astounding or anything,
but he's pretty dynamic. I wouldplay him. So I just actually looked
up he hasn't played the Niners sincetwenty twenty one. Cool, well he's

(59:14):
about to. Yeah, it's justhe's been hurt. He's been hurt for
the past like five meetings they've had. Yeah, he's been avoiding them.
Yeah. Uh, Joe, yousay, oh Jo, I definitely don't
play James Connor. Well, thatdude just ripped off a bucko five on
twenty five carries. H You wantto talk about four point whatever. He's
averaging four point nine per on theseason. Yeah, it's good, right,

(59:39):
and he's not throwing the football sohe was. He was RB four
in a standard league last week,So I think I gotta play him.
You got. I don't know aboutHollywood, man, I probably not.
I would probably fade him. Hejust doesn't get the targets that that I
need to to keep going. ButI would play trade mcbriden. And I'm

(01:00:01):
gonna tell you right now, thisis a name that you better keep on
your radar because next year is thelast year you're gonna be able to get
him early enough that it makes orlate enough that it makes sense, because
every year after next year he's goingto be, you know, in the
in the first six rounds or something, and you're not gonna want to draft

(01:00:23):
him. But PPR wise, heis fantastic and I think that he's going
to be one of the next setof elite tight ends in the NFL.
Mad targets, mad catches, hedoes catch the occasional touchdown. He's more

(01:00:43):
than a guy that's it. Wow, kind of kind of glazing the dude.
Man, what's up? I mean? You know, I mean,
when you see you see tight endplay like that, it's it's pretty rare.
That doesn't happen, right. Youget excited, You're like, well,
whoa, what's this guy? Wait? Wait? Nine targets, seven
catches, eighty five yards that's alittle porter ish. Yeah, you're like,

(01:01:05):
well, who's this fella? Yeah, And honestly there's a couple of
guys like that this year. YeBride has done really well. Laporta obviously,
Ferguson from Dallas has had a reallygood season for sure. Yeah,
Concaid has kind of worked its wayinto the Bills off Like suddenly there's a
like five or six great young tightends and thank god, because tight end

(01:01:28):
play in the last I don't knowdecade has been four guys and then the
rest of them. Yeah, it'spretty sad. It is all right,
we have the Washington Commandos going touh Los Angeles to play the Rams even
after the bye week. Guys.Sam Howell is still quarterback six on the
year. He's quarterback one. Whenit comes to sacks, he is imagine

(01:01:54):
if they had a line that couldprotect him scary. Yeah, not as
scary as Terry, but we'll getto that. Yeah, he might not
always have a fantastic game, buton average he's the six bets quarterback.
You kind of have to start him. I was gonna when you're talking about
Mahomes earlier, I was gonna ask, like, given like the streak he's

(01:02:15):
on of not scoring that many points, Like, are you are you going
to start Jake Browning over Patrick Mahomesthis week? You start Sam Howell over
Patrick Mahomes. It seems weird,but gotta score points, so yeah,
I'm gonna start how He mentioned earlierabout Brian Robinson's injury. If he is

(01:02:37):
in and playing, I think thathim and Gibson are probably flexes at best.
However, if he's out and Gibsonis the lone man in the backfield,
I think there's a potentially he hasa very very good day here.
Agreed, pay attention to that andstart as as needed. The receivers on

(01:02:58):
this team really kind of up anddown. I expected more from Terry McLaurin
this year. I haven't really seenmuch of anything. I think probably these
receivers are all flexes. Terry'll probablyget the most points, but Dotson could
catch a touchdown, Curtis Samuel couldrip off a big run if he gets

(01:03:21):
a handoff or two. Like.They all have potential, but there's no
consistency of scoring points. So notsuper confident any of them. Logan Thomas,
I think he's one of those tightends that gets enough targets to be
considered one of the guys you wantto start, So I would probably have
him in my lineup if I hadnobody else from the Rams side. Like

(01:03:45):
we mentioned last week, since KyrienWilliams has come back, these Rams have
been on a roll. Stafford putup his third straight twenty three point game.
I actually picked him up in ourBig three league. Yeah. I
mean, dude's doing really well.Three top ten performances in a row,

(01:04:05):
QB one numbers, so he's worthstarting. Washington doesn't have a fantastic defense.
They they traded away a lot oftheir pass rush, so it's gonna
have time in the pocket, andhe's got two fantastic receivers, so I'm
locking in Matthew Stafford for a start. Talked about Kyan Williams. He didn't

(01:04:27):
have a game as good as hisprevious two weeks. He only had fifteen
points because he didn't score a touchdown, but he still had one hundred and
fourteen yards on twenty five garys loveit. Amazing. This guy's gonna be
a high first round pick next yearin redraft. A doubt, no doubt,
definitely starting him. Oop I clickedon the wrong person, give me

(01:04:51):
one second. Yeah, sure,that's what we do here. Yeah,
well we'll just wait for you man. It's cool. Thanks. Thanks.
I don't know if you've heard ofa Cooper Cup, you're probably gonna want
to start him. That guy,the other receiver on the side, Puka
Nakhwa, Yeah, you want tostart him too. That diving catch he

(01:05:14):
made last week phenomenal is like thedefinition of put your body on the line
for a team not going to theplayoffs, right with no gloves, fingers
taped up, diving catch. Amazing. Both of these guys have the potential
to score twenty five points in thesame game. So definitely gonna be starting

(01:05:36):
both of those dudes as long asTyler Higbee is out. I don't think
a tight end is worth playing onthis team. If he does play,
he might have some potential, butit's super low end on that tight end
scale, so maybe don't worry aboutit. Gotcha Cowboys on the road to

(01:05:57):
Buffalo. So yeah, you playDAK. If you have to ask why
you shouldn't be playing fantasy football,you're probably not in the playoffs either.
Tony Polar has averaged ninety total yards. That's receiving and running in his last
four three touchdowns in that span.Big thumbs up for Tony Pollard. Of
course you're gonna play Ceedee Lamb.Brandon Brooks is also Brandon Cooks is also

(01:06:19):
a good start, and Robbie mentionedJake Ferguson. He's actually a decently large
portion of the offense, so youknow, yeah, I'm gonna play that
guy as well, Buffalo. Notsure which team is gonna show up,
doesn't matter really. Josh Allen scorescrazy Fantasy points regardless of where and who

(01:06:39):
he's playing against. He'll make thosemistakes, but he gets those points,
so sure. James Cook is anRB one two out of the last three
weeks, and in the week thathe wasn't he was an RB two like
quarterb are running back like fourteen.I have no idea what just closed,
but something did. I'm gonna playleft? Is that what it was?
Love it? I'm gonna play defDiggs. I'm not going to play Gabe

(01:07:01):
Davis, who was blanked against Case. You probably have a better option there.
Dawson Knox and Dalton Kincaid both questionablerecently. Just guys, if I
had to play one of these twowould probably be Dalton Kincaid. And that's
pretty much it for this game.Oof, as they say, buddy,

(01:07:23):
they do, I got another foryou. I got Ravens Jacks. Actually,
this one isn't that bad. It'snot bad at all. There's a
lot of players. Honestly, Iwould play everyone in this game. Let's
talk about him briefly. Lamar MVPcandidate at thirty two points last week,
might want to play him. Iwouldn't touch the running backs here, man,

(01:07:46):
don't know what to do with theBaltimore running game. The bus had
a series of touchdowns that were likecrazy and in the pack past two games.
I know they had a bye weekin there. Hasn't done anything.
Really, his only value was touchdownsand he hadn't been getting them right.

(01:08:09):
So I don't know. He's gotten touchdowns on the year. Ten so
not since when Week eleven was hislast touchdown. Yeah, and we're in
week fifteen, week fifteen, soI'd call this a drought. It's but

(01:08:29):
something's got to give, man.I guess give him a role, but
I'm not happy about it. Ilove the wide receivers here, just don't
know who to play. You know, Zay had had six catches on ten
targets actually sixty yards, so tenper exactly cool. He scored in two

(01:08:53):
straight. Did you have to takeyour shoes off to do that? Math?
I did. I counted all themtoes bro Odell actually had himself a
day. He does that occasionally,kind of rolled into the end zone.
Do you see that? Yeah,but still it was only four catches.
I don't know. He's a rollof the dice like maybe kind of flex

(01:09:15):
play at best. It's odd becausethis is one of the best teams in
the league and there aren't many peoplethat I look at on this team and
I go, oh, yeah,obviously, well you look at the defense
and that's your that's your answer forsure. From the tee lall side.
Okay, I have been humbled overthe past few weeks. Okay, he

(01:09:41):
has played a lot better from afantasy perspective. I gotta give props where
props are due. He has beenQP one, six, five and eleven
in the past four games, includinga three touchdown two one hundred and fifty
seven yard performance last week. Hedid throw three interceptions. Yeah, so
that was a problem. They havelost. That's that's a problem. Yeah,

(01:10:05):
it is. Yeah, right,Yeah, it was Cleveland like that
that that's happened every time the everytime the red zone channels switched to the
Cleveland Jags game. We didn't inthe in the Jaguars were on offense.
We didn't know if it was goingto be a pick or a touchdown.
It's just like that's yeah, that'sthe way it rolls. Uh. But

(01:10:27):
you know at the end, uhwas two point five per last week.
But he has scored in too straight. I think you still have to roll.
What do we do? What dowe do with with Calvin Ryth?
You owe me five American dollars onthis guy. He's definitely not going to
get to the one hundred and fiftyor whatever stupid amount of catches you said

(01:10:48):
he was gonna get. That wasthat was Robbie right who maybe it was.
He's got fifty five catches here,so he's not even you misheard me.
I just no, he's like onehundred catches under. Yeah, give
the threshold that you thought he wasgonna hit four games left, Sure he's

(01:11:12):
gonna have twenty five catches the game. Sure you got a light lyles venmo
up rom Well, No, no, I actually went five to two,
so we're gonna break even. Okay, from the first game. I bet
him straight up that Casey would beatDetroit, and he was right. Detroit
won that game, So I lostthe Finnsky on that. So Robbie was

(01:11:32):
playing with house money on the CalvinRidley. But you remember when really really
rolled, like week eleven, Weektwelve, he was wide receiver one and
three respectively. Since then, he'sbeen wide receiver forty eight and forty one.
I don't know what to do withthis guy. It's because at the
emergence of Evan Ingram, for sure. Yeah, that's the next thing.

(01:11:55):
I'm gonna talk from a tight endperspective. Got up must play three touchdowns
in the last couple of games.He has twenty receptions in two games as
a tight end. The touchdown isreally the only thing holding them back from
being the guy and how he's gettingthem. Yeah, but here's the thing.
They lost both of those games.They won the previous two games where

(01:12:19):
Kylvid Ridley did damage. So ifthey want to win football games, particularly
dude, they played Baltimore this week, they better get count really involved or
are they're going to lose. Yeah, that's that's the Sunday, nither.
That's national television. Man, comeon, trev anyway, that's it.

(01:12:40):
You know your guess is as goodas mine. I will say this.
I would probably play them all andjust hope for the best. That's what
you want to do in the firstweek of the playoffs. This is this
is a rough goal close. Thisis a tough game. Man, This
is a tough one. And that'sit all right. Uh, Now we

(01:13:02):
get to end off the games onpotentially sour note. Philly going to Seattle.
Oh this is a loss. Yeah, I don't feel good about it,
especially if if Drew Lock is playingquarterback. I don't even know if
I want to watch. Eagles willmake Drew Lock look like friggin now.
Yeah, yeah, it's it's I'mnot excited to watch it. You still

(01:13:29):
have to play Hurts because you knowhe's still probably gonna do stuff. He
could score two rushing touchdowns and maybethrow for one, but it's not gonna
look good. Can you play DeAndreSwift anymore? Yes? You should eight
carries in three weeks. You canstill play. They ban run the football.

(01:13:49):
Yeah, I would have said thattwo weeks ago when they didn't.
Seattle's twenty fifth against fantasy running backs. So just saying, yeah, I
mean I'm gonna I'm gonna play more. I have him too. But you
know, and we're talking earlier aboutPatrick Mahomes not having the numbers, Swift
doesn't have the numbers. It's true, you're gonna keep I mean, you

(01:14:15):
have to start more running backs thanyou do quarterbacks in most leagues. So
you know, he's a guy thatcan score points, You're gonna start him
over a guy that maybe scores points. But same logic applies if if he
puts up four points this week becausehe doesn't get any carries, I'm gonna
have to stop starting him. That'sa decision you got to make. Yeah,

(01:14:39):
I have in the one league,I have him. I got him
in Yeah, me too. Uh. I think all the everyone that can
catch a pass on this team,you're gonna want to start, though,
Agrie Brown, DeVante Smith, DallasGarter. Now that he's back, Quenz
Watkins could do something. Maybe,dude, you know what, So DeAndre

(01:15:02):
Swift, AJ Brown, Slim Reaper, and Dallas s Gottard get eighty percent
of the targets in this offense,I'm not going anywhere near anybody but those
four. Seriously. Sure, Yeah, that's that's reasonable on the Seahawks side,
considering how god awful the Eagles defensehas been since like Week two,

(01:15:29):
I don't see any reason not tostart every eligible Seahawk. Yep, every
single one. Not gonna get anargument out of me. Drew Lock's gonna
put up twenty five. Dk Metcalfmight have eight catches for one hundred fifty
yards and two touchdowns. Lock itthe same. Jake Bobo could score a

(01:15:49):
touchdown this week. I'm playing JSN. I am definitely playing JSN this week.
Yeah, yeah, everybody. Charbonais gonna do some work. Will
Disley, Wow, that's not toocrazy. Yeah, but starting every ste
Hawk that's the Segus defense is notgood. That's that's what I got.

(01:16:14):
And them's beat them games. Alright. All right, we have a Reddit
question here. This is Arrogant Malicesays, hey, guys, it's your
favorite coal miner from last season.I'm in a highly competitive keeper league with
stacked wide receivers on my roster.I have a quarterback conundrum I have.
I had Strout as my man asmy main with Herbert as my backup.

(01:16:36):
So I'm orally scrot is for astarter. Here, my options on the
waiver wire are Golf, car Flacco, Gino, Howe, Baker, Levice,
Minshew, Trubisky, Stick and TommyCutlets. Well, here's the thing.
If this league is highly competitive,no way, all those guys are
on the on the waiver wire.Yeah, Hu, I would just pick

(01:16:57):
up golf and just roll. Hesaid he did, he picked off up,
but he's been swan diving on thed since Thanksgiving, which I just
love that expression. I'm not surethat's the right move. Please steer my
team into the second round of theplayoffs. Well, I would not give
up yet on Stroud. He maystill clear concussion protocol and be in.
Drop Herbert though, Sagan, Yeah, definitely drop Herbert. Picking up golf

(01:17:21):
is fine. Really, if youhave all these options, I might just
just, you know, stream theseguys. Flacco's got a pretty good matchup.
I might pick him up as thenumber two. If Gino's in against
the Eagles. If he's up,I definitely play him. Yeah. So
I wouldn't play Trubisky. I wouldn'tgo near Tommy Cutlets, Minshew, I

(01:17:42):
wouldn't you know, Levis I wouldn'tBaker, Probably not. You have better
options here. I wouldn't play car, but for sure, Golf, Flaco,
Gino, maybe even Howl are optionsfor you at this point. And
if you're in the playoffs, pickthem all up. What the hell?
Why not? You can drop himnext week? So there you have it,
Yeah, man, Ibby, Someonesays, Week fifteen, playoffs,

(01:18:05):
Week one. Hey, guys,thanks for all the fantasmic unprotected content.
Please take a look down. Wegot you covered. Sorry, full peeper
need to running backs, two ourreceivers and two flex You need six out
of this Pollard Gibbs at t nA, Shane Pittman, Saint Brown,

(01:18:29):
DJ Moore, Jayden Reed, DeontayJohnson. I think the first six,
four, five, six, seven, one two three, four, five,
six, seven eight now that leavesDJ Moore out, correct. I
don't think I would leave DJ Mooreout. I don't know. Maybe maybe

(01:18:56):
I would sitting and put DJ Moorein. Yeah, I would put DJ
Moore in for ah. I agree. I really like Jayden Reid. He's
really the only running back in inuh Green Bay at this point. I
know, but have you seen thegames? Yeah? Yeah, they don't
trust Dylan. So they're handing,you know, they're doing jet sweep left

(01:19:16):
right and up the middle of JaydenReid. So, but I think you're
right. I think said a changeand put more in and this the top
six. Big Bulla says fellas halfPeep are having trouble Trump trusting Addison at
Sincy, but the only other optionis Deontay Johnson at Indy boof, I
could also pick up Dabs or CurtisSamuel. Also, do I start Indy's

(01:19:38):
defense or case versus New England?I would definitely start Casey versus New England
in that matchup. Got two wordsfor you, Bailey ZAPPI. Yeah.
As far as the trusting Addison,I would probably just play him, Yeah,
I would. If your only otheroption is Onsen with Samuel or Bron

(01:20:02):
Dobbs. Yeah, I mean,you know, it could be Dobbs,
but it could very well not be. It could be Samuel, but it
could very well not be. Soyeah, I think Addison has a better
I don't know though. They gotNick Mullins throwing the bot addisonerous man.
Yeah, I know, I know, but it doesn't taste good. None

(01:20:23):
of this tastes good. I mightgo Samuel here fair enough. Yeah,
I mean I would too if itwas me making the choice, but I
don't like it. Go ahead toShell if he has two questions, Hey,
fellows, I have a bye forthe playoff this week. What d
should I grab? Slash stash slashhold for next week? Indy at Atlanta,

(01:20:46):
Denver versus New England or Detroit atMinnesota. I want to play any
team playing that New England offense.Yeah, I will go with Denver as
well, he says. In anotherleague, Peoper, pick a flex London
Flowers, Gus Foreman, Ty Chandleror Spears. Can I phone a friend?
Can you run that list again?London Flowers, Gus Bus Foreman,

(01:21:12):
Ty Chandler or Spears. I honestlythink Spears is probably the highest chance to
score real points. You don't thinkGus hasn't scored since week eleven? Bro
for a touchdown. I would probablygo with Gus for a random touchdown.
But I hear you, guys,I mean Spears is gonna, you know,

(01:21:33):
get get carries, some carries andbe active in the receiving game.
Yep, you're wrong, Chandler,Yeah, Foreman, he Foreman does well.
But you know, it's hard totrust a bear at this point that's
not named Fields or or more likeI said, you know, London could
be great this week. I wouldn'tcount on it. Yeah, I would.

(01:21:58):
I would roll the dice on Gus. I hear you, guys.
Yeah, so it's a split decisionthere being ran Kelly last question. Hey,
fellas made the playoffs in four outof six, could use a little
help this week if you don't mind, you do, but only a little
in a one point peep Perty orJosh Allen m hmm, gotta go with

(01:22:21):
Allen Man, you do, Igot it. I mean, you know
Pertty, he's a he's a greatquarterback for the offense he's in and he
scores points. But Josh Allen justgoes crazy with with fantasy points. So
I'm Dallas is in Buffalo this weektoo, right, correct? Yeah?

(01:22:42):
Yeah, I would play Josh Allenand in my flex Ridley j Cook or
jsn mm hmm not Ridley, misterinconsistent Cook has been good of late.
Yeah, I'm kind of leaning JamesCook. I know that's shocking for me,
but probably the best option. Ikind of am too. Yeah,

(01:23:03):
I would love to play Ridley,but again, fifty five catches on the
season right, four games left.According to Robbie's going to catch twenty five
a week, so you might wantto play him in another one point,
Peeper, I have Keman, Allenout b, rob Watson, and Remandre
all injured in some way, andthey are startable over Jay Palmer in a

(01:23:26):
wide receiver three and a flex.Wow, well are they startable if they're
healthy? Yes? Yeah, yeah, I mean because not because J Palmer.
Now that's a big name. That'sthe guy you want in your flex.
To be sure, I would Eastonstick there on the football lay any

(01:23:46):
of those guys. I would playRobinson and Stevenson in a heartbeat over Palmer.
I would play Watson, and Imean, assuming they're up. Yeah,
I would play Watson in a heartbeat over Palmer. Yeah, but
you might not have that option unfortunately. But yeah, if your question is,
uh, you know who like,I would play any one of those

(01:24:09):
guys if they're up over Palmer.And finally, at a half point,
peep are in a super flex QBtwo lover Mayfield in a flex two?
Uh love? Yeah? In myopinion, yeah, his ceiling is way
higher than Mayfield is I think uhin a flex to Hunt, Uh,
Gabor Davis, z Jones, McKinnonor Taysom Hill. I like McKinnon if

(01:24:35):
the check go's out, Well,I don't like him, but I would
play him Hunt. Yeah, justI just want them touchdowns baby, Yeah,
and Hunt is the uh. Weactually had a discussion on this on
Sunday, uh because I questioned whyHunt was in there and not and not
Ford and it turns out that Huntis one inch taller and five pounds heavier

(01:24:58):
and that might be why he wasjust in So yeah, I don't mind
Hunt there. I mean, youknow, the the real dice roll is
Taysom Hill, but you know that'sa little craziness. Yeah, in a
tight end spot, I would playhim, but in a like a true
flex spot, I would not.Yeah. So yeah, it would probably
be Hunt and then maybe McKinnon andthen after that they all fall evenly for

(01:25:21):
me. Many thanks for the adviceand love you all. New job has
been rough on the old beer Man, So if I don't get in touch
before exmus, then happy holidays toyou all and the listener's YouTube buddy,
