Episode Transcript

(00:03):
It's time for the fantasy football guys. Two guys who are the double cheeseburger
and small fries of fantasy football.Robbie's the Nuggies. Here they are Lyle
Conkeel and Kevin Moore, the fantasyfootball guys. Ho ho ho bitches,

(00:23):
We are the fantasy football guys.Kevin, what'd you call me? Lyle?
And I'm the Nuggies. Oh God, and it's it's week sixteen.
For God's sake, how do weget here? All of a sudden?
We are here? No? Butthank God. Like after the past few
weeks, I just want this seasonto be over. Yeah. Not not

(00:43):
a great three week span for Eaglesfans, No, sure. And I
want to say this in all sincerity. Yeah, Cowboys fans, Yeah,
Commanders fans, all two of you, both of you. Yeah, Giants
fans. Uh. You are likewell deserved to have your laugh. You
should. I would be laughing atyou, so chuckle it up, man,

(01:07):
because you deserve it. Right afterhaving to deal with the Eagles being
so successful in stuff the past twoseasons and halfway through this year, it
must have been unbearable and you knowso well deserved. Congrats. Yeah,
I mean you know, have yourfun your chuckles. Yeah, you deserve

(01:27):
it. Yeah, I mean,because the Eagles continue to trip over their
own schmchels as they progress through thetoward the end of the season. At
this point, I'm not really confidentwith bringing the Giants. I think the
Giants are going to be ultra competitiveand then it may come down to who
kicks the field goal at the endof the game. Say, I don't
think they can beat anybody if theyplay defense that poorly. And and here's

(01:51):
the thing. I know this isnot an Eagles podcast, we always say
that here's the truth about the PhiladelphiaEagles. They have above average talent on
the offense, but they're severely poorlycoached. I mean, it's it's it's
some of the worst coaching I thinkin the NFL offensively agreed. Defensive side

(02:12):
of the ball, they just aren'tgood. Even their defensive line is not
good. It's not you can't havethe numbers and give up the plays that
they give up and not get pressureand still call yourself an elite devensive line.
They're just not agreed. Now,part of that is coaching, too,
I think, but I also justthink that they are just not very

(02:34):
talented on that side of the ball, right, Welners can't cover, their
linebackers can't cover, they have terribletackling. They have some elite players,
for sure, oddly enough. Ithink Brandon Graham is still elite. I
think Fletcher Cox is still elite.Yeah, you know, Jalen Carter has
certainly shown he damn near blocks offield goal every single time. You know,

(02:59):
he's a freak talent, but it'sjust not enough. I think Assan's
still a pretty good pass rusher,but he's not as dominant as he was
last year. And uh, they'rejust yeah, they're just not good enough
to compete. So if you havethat poor offensive play, right, you
can't afford to have a crappy defense, and they have both, right,

(03:20):
So I'm not convinced they'll win anothergame. I don't know if you saw
the Eli Peyton thing. I thinkthey had Christian McCaffrey on there. He
was basically calling out what play wasgoing to be run when the Eagles lined
up. So it's like their offenseis very ventia and predictable. Yeah,
I mean it's it's it's it's awfulboth sides. So we could talk Eagles
football, I'd rather not forever,but I've basically given up on I mean,

(03:46):
yeah, they're going to make theplayoffs already in but I don't think
they're gonna you know, they're they'rethey're one and done. They won't get
back to the first round. Yeah, so it's unfortunate, but you know,
there are a lot of teams thatwould love a lot of fans for
team from teams would love to bein the position that we're in at ten
and five and ten and four.You know, with the Panthers slat places

(04:10):
with us, their fan base,you bet, so you know, all
you can do is say, well, they're gonna do what they're gonna do,
and we'll hope for next year,basically is what we're after. Uh
So, yeah, there's some someplayoff implication games this weekend, as there
always are. We'll get to thegames in a minute, but uh,

(04:30):
we're we're all deep into family Christmasthings at this point. So we're gonna
hop into the news and then hopinto the games and let everybody get back
to their their lives. So yougot Zach Moss who has a forearm injury,
didn't practice today. We'll see howhe does going through the week.
But with you know, the guysthat they had backing up, backing up

(04:55):
Moss, it really did a goodjob this last week. Also, Jonathan
Taylor returned to practice, so therunning bay situation in Indianapolis may improve a
little bit over the next few days. Receiver wise, Pittman has a concussion,
but he did loger practice today ina limited way as much as he
could through the concussion protocol to towout well also as a concussion, yet

(05:15):
he should be good to go forweek sixteen. Brian Robinson Junior still has
that hammy. No practice for himtoday. Same goes with Nico Collins and
his calf. Looks like case Keenumis going to start again this week instead
of c J Stroud, which isn'tunfortunate. I'm going up against Robbie this
week in the Main Money League playoffsand I was really kind of hoping to

(05:39):
have CJ. Doesn't look like I'mgoing to have him, though, We'll
see. It might be the Minsheeshow optimistic. Ramandre Stevenson and his ankle
out of practice today. Hunter Henry, he of two touchdowns, has a
knee also didn't practice today. Samething with out old Beckham Junior. It
just may be a veteran day forhim. Josh Jacobs trending toward playing in

(06:01):
week sixteen. That's good news forsome Pickens will also play on Saturday.
This is the time of year.It's worried. You have Thursday games,
Saturday games, Sunday games, Mondaygames, football almost every day of the
week. I love it, butthis time every year when there's a game
on Saturday, my wife goes agame on Saturday. I'm like, for
the past thirty five years, yousay the same thing this time of year,

(06:26):
NFL on Saturday. Yeah, theywanted the most revenue. It's weird
to me too, But you know, if I can take two full days
in front of the TV, I'ma happy man. You know where my
chair is. I'm like eight feetfrom the fridge. You know. It's
a good thing, not too bad. Yeah, life is good. Zay

(06:46):
Jones has a hammy. He's weekto week. Taylor Heineke going to start
the rest of the season for theFalcons. Haven't we heard that before?
Didn't we have Heineke dropping in andthen he sucked and then here we go
back with Yeah, we'll see Thisis for Robby and me. Darnald Savage
of mispractice with his shoulder. Darnellwas one of Robbie's teammates in high school.

(07:09):
Let's see what else you got here. Christian Watson no practice today for
him with that hammy. Jayden Reidnot practicing with I think he's got an
ankle. Yes. Unfortunately, he'sbecome a huge part of their offense.
Marquise Brown on his heel is uncertainfor week sixteen. Apparently there's an illness
going around the NFL. James Cookhas it now. He was out of
practice. Let's see Ryan Tannehill takingfirst team reps in practice today because Will

(07:33):
Levis has an issue. We heardthat he has a sprained ankle. So
we'll see what else is going onhere. Riek Hill not a practice today.
From all indications though, is theywant to make sure he's ready to
go this weekend against Dallas, sothey're not having him risk practice when the
game is more important, because,like Alan Iverson said, practice, we're

(07:57):
talking about practice practice, all right. Let's see what else we got here.
It looks like Aaron Rodgers is goingto be added to the fifty three,
but is not expected to play atall for the rest of the season.
Kind of curious, why out youget aut him to the fifty three
if you're not going to play him. I don't know. Let's see,

(08:18):
let's jump into the games, guys, you ready, I'm ready, let's
do it. Alright. So theThursday night there is the Saints traveling to
Los Angeles to play the Rams.Thoughts on obvious players here, boys,
Ali, Kamara, and Hill Ithink are the mandatory ones from the Saints
side, right, A lave too, maybe a lave two. He's averaged

(08:39):
over seventeen PPR points in his lastfour so you know you should be on
there somewhere. Yeah, pretty good. There's not a lot to like from
the Saints, but they do havesome some intriguing players. You know,
Kamara didn't score last week, unfortunately, but he's still a pretty baller afternoon,
especially in a PPR CAF five passesfor forty four were not bad.

(09:01):
Also average four point one on theground. I had another sixty six.
You know, are you cracked thehoney total? I'm kind of in In
the previous two games he had threetouchdowns, So yeah, the worst game
of the season since he got offhis suspension was an eleven point eleven PPR
points against Chicago and week nine,right, that would still make him you
know, even if he just hadeleven points a week, he'd still be

(09:22):
flexible. And he's done way betterthan that most week. He's playing like
an elite running back. He is. He's just not getting the props because
he's not on a very good teamanymore. But uh, he looks like,
you know, the same Alva KamaraWe've known for years, dude.
I mean, the Saints are kindof low key competing for the division division,

(09:43):
so I'm just saying, you know, they're still not a great football
team. Yeah, you're right,You're right. What did you say,
Ron, They're they're tied with theBucks. They're both seven and seven right
now, right, They're actually theBucks are currently winning. They have I
think division record or something. Yeah, I have a tiebreaker. Yeah,
so you know, I don't knowhow obvious Taysom Hill is, but you
know, as usual, if youdon't have a top tier a top ten

(10:05):
tight end, then you know hecan get you one and a half points.
He can get you twenty one anda half points. So it's just
a matter of you know how theycall the plays whatever. Yeah, it
didn't do much last week, butthe last game he played in before that,
he was pretty amazing. You know, h Rand the ball for fifty
nine yards in a snake. That'sa dice roll, to be sure.

(10:28):
I mean, you know, youtake your tanks, takes you chances from
the rams a couple more guys.I think Stafford. He's been over twenty
three points per game in his lastfour, but New Orleans is number seven
against fantasy quarterbacks in their last four, So something's got to give there.
Well you say that, but healso had over twenty three points against the

(10:50):
Browns and the Ravens, two ofthe best defenses in the league. Yeah.
So, so the Saints don't reallyscare me when it comes to playing
in Safford. No, especially whenyou're in LA. I mean, if
there were in New Orleans, youmight go, well, you know,
that might be good for a pointor two. But I think Stafford,
you know, sleeping in his ownbed, you know, it's a pretty
good idea. Kyron Williams over twentyseven points a game his last four.

(11:13):
Yeah, Like this dude came outof almost nowhere. They had cam Akers
at the beginning of the year andeveryone say, yeah, Kyron Williams,
he's pretty good, but you know, is he going to get a chance,
Maybe Zach Evans is going to takethat role or you know whatever,
And here he is. You know, he's probably a first round fantasy pick
next year or early second He's no, he's top of the first round.

(11:35):
For me, I would put himin the top six picks other than the
other than numbers Man. Yeah,yeah, the McCaffrey. What running back
you picking ahead of him? Yeah, I mean you can go Chubb.
Well, he is going to bea year older and coming off of a
devastating knee injury, you know,yeah, I mean Williams has got to

(11:56):
be right up there now. Youknow, people are gonna put receivers in
there, and you know, maybeKelsey's in the top six ridiculously again,
but it's see, yeah, Imean, Williams is going to be is
certainly even at this point, atop five running back prospect, going yeah,
I agree, Yeah, he mightbe top three. Yeah, so

(12:20):
Cooper Cup obvious pookin the kupa thoughtsjust to have them. I mean,
listen, you're going to play him, but his past several games have been
average. Basically, unless he scoresa touchdown, he's like the twentieth best
receiver. Yeah, he's cool,startable, Yeah, but it's not you

(12:45):
know, it's it's not fantastic.And he's only got four tds on the
year, So Ozari is not goingto score a touchdown. So I think
you can expect roughly fifteen points outof him on a good day. On
a bad day, those your points. Like, yeah, last week he
had ten, right, so stilldouble digits. You're still gonna flex him.

(13:07):
But he's not the sexy play thathe was early in the season.
Agreed anything else going this game,rob I don't think so. I don't
really like any other pass catcher award. Yeah, I mean DeMarcus Robinson throws
a game in here every now andagain to to you know, if he's
up, he catches a few,but nothing you can really count on on

(13:31):
a week to week basis. AndHigbee Kim throw a touchdown in there every
now and again, but nothing youcan count on. And you're talking about
playoffs, you want to make surethat you have talking about fantasy playoffs,
you want to make sure you haveguys you can at least point to some
consistency. You know, I'd playLucas Haversick. Yeah, yeah, only

(13:52):
missed two field goals this year.That's well, okay, if you're going
to start talking kickers, then youknow, I'm just don't know a chit
chat. You're gonna do that shit, all right. So you got Cincy
and you got Pittsburgh. One teamon the rise, one team not all
right. So you got Jake Browningfor Cincy. He's been a quarterback one
over the last three weeks. Peopleare I mean ridiculous. People are going,

(14:18):
is he the new Brady? Becauseyou know, because Brady came in
when the starter got injured and thenthe starter never came back. Like yeah,
But now Jake Browning, I think, is making a case for himself
to have a shot to start somewheredown the line. Absolutely, It's probably
not gonna be in Sinsey, though, I think you know, Joe Burrow

(14:41):
is a well loved figure in Cincinnati. Jake brown doing well. So you
know, if you if you havehim this week and you have issues with
your starting quarterback, or if you'rein a super flex leagu Jake Browning is
certainly worthy of that second spot.Joe Mixon. Week twelve against Pittsburgh,
he was RB thirty five, right, so he's playing Pittsburgh again. But

(15:05):
since then he's been RB one,RB seven, RB fourteen. I'll say
yes, he's certainly a part ofthe offense. Still, hopefully he doesn't
repeat that RB thirty five performance,you know, like he did in week
twelve, But we'll see. Ilove Chase Brown. I love that guy's
game. He just doesn't get enoughopportunity because Mixon has been doing so well
of late. But keep an eyeon Chase Brown for he's one of those

(15:28):
guys you grab him maybe the twelfthround next year and maybe something happened with
me, or if Mixing goes away, and you know, maybe he's going
to be a little bit better thanthat. If he's going to be the
starter. Jamar Chase is questionable withhis shoulder. I think he's got an
ac joint sprain, which is badnews. If he's up, of course
he got to play him, butkeep a close eye on that. In
his last four, T Higgins iswide receiver eight, wide receiver forty seven,

(15:52):
wide receiver thirty four, and widereceiver eight, which T Higgins is
going to show up. Not sure, but I think he's at least worth
of flex you know, you rollthe dice at this point, especially if
Jamar Chase is out, He's goingto be you know, first read more
often than if he would be ifChase was in. Tyler Boyd is almost
flexible. You know. He catchesa touchdown here and there, but nothing

(16:15):
to really be all that excited about. If you're in the playoffs, Pittsburgh
Steelers are basically thrown in the towel. I put it up on Twitter slash
x this week that just in timefor Christmas, Rudolph is going to be
starting in Pittsburgh. I like thetiming, but yeah, it's pretty much
over for Pittsburgh. Sorry about that, Najie Harris, Jalen Warren since he's

(16:37):
seventeenth against running backs in their lastfour. But so the matchup is all
right, But you look at thenumbers of these guys, put up is
just you know, you have tohave better options. Really, the only
player on the Steelers team I'm reallygoing to say yes to with any enthusiasm
is Deontae Johnson. He's got atouchdown in his last three mid teen total

(16:59):
number is in a PPR so sure, I'll give him a go, but
I'm not that excited about him either, because he's got me some freaking Rudolph
throwing him the ball. So ifyou want to sit every stealer you got,
I'm with you fair enough? Isthat menybuddy, that's you, sir?
All right? I got Bill's chargershere. It's half a good game.

(17:22):
It's not going to be a goodgame at all. Josh Allen had
ninety four yards passing last week inthe win, two touchdowns. He had
ninety four yards. You're gonna playhim. Obviously not his best fantasy game,
but you're still gonna play him.The reason, though, is because

(17:44):
the James Cook James Cook went allthe way off. Hopefully his illness clears
up, you know, before Iguess this is a Saturday game. He
had too many yards, itis iswhat he had? Dude bucks seventy nine
on a ground and a touchdown.He also called two passes for forty two
yards and another touchdown. Homie hadthirty four points in a standard league last

(18:08):
week, and he was RB twoin a standard league last week, RB
three the week before that, andoh, by the way, he was
RB one that week against case againstn f PPR League. So James Cook
is on fire at the moment,just in time for cold playoff games,

(18:29):
potentially in not in Buffalo. They'renot good enough at this point but to
host the game. But we'll see. They're hot. They're hot though,
I mean at their spank in Dallaslike that. They beat ac They barely
lost to Philly, probably should havewon that game. So you know,
they should be on a four gamewin streak if they didn't lose to Philly.
A bit of a heater, ifyou will, and they got some

(18:52):
winnable games coming up Week eighteen againat Miami is gonna be That's gonna be
the defining game I think. Idon't think they'll lose to the Chargers or
New England. But anyway, goto play James Cook, go to play
Steph Diggs. Ob although he hasstunk it up in the past two weeks.
Well, when your quarterback only hasninety four yards chances, they weren't

(19:15):
all you hed have forty eight ofthem. Last week he caught four passes
for forty eight yards, so hewas responsible for half of Josh Allen's passing
totals. Uh, And that's that'sreally it. I wouldn't start the tight
ends. I would stick with thebig three there for Buffalo, for the
Chargers. Dude, find me somebodyI got nothing. I mean, Stick

(19:37):
played well last week, he reallydid. He had a one thirteen rating.
He had two fifty seven and threetouchdowns, just one pick. Not
bad. He also lost two fumbles. Kind of hard to win games when
you do that. But they weredown sixty three to twenty one. They
were playing a practice squad. Yeah, well, well, the thing is
is Stick had his touchdowns, youknow late, they were already down like

(20:00):
it's fifty four or whatever, youknow, and then Stick started throwing touchdowns
like it looks great for fantasy,but it's all garbage time. Well,
don't really care. I mean,I like fantasy points, but I still
wouldn't playing. No. Eckler hasbeen abysmal. Josh Palmer is like not
existing. There's nobody you can playon this team. Yeah, Keenan Allen's

(20:21):
you know, I think he hasa heel. He's been He missed last
week, is out not really trendingup to play this week. I would
if he played, I might considerhim inflex but that's I don't think he's
gonna play anyway, So is itall right? Cool? All right?
We got Indianapolis Colts going down tothe Atlanta Falcons. This should be fun.

(20:48):
I think Minshew's playability here greatly dependson whether or not Michael Pittman's playing.
I mean, it looked like hegot hit by a truck on that
play. Oh he did. Heliterally got to play the truck. Yeah,
yeah, So I can't imagine hewill be playing this week, given
how concussions work. If he doesplay, I think Minshew has some value.

(21:14):
You know, he could get youseventeen points. But if if Pittman's
not going to play, Mint andShoo's basically just going to be handing the
ball off fifty times. I didjust see that Jonathan Taylor was upgraded to
active, so I think he's goingto be good to go for this game
and he's going to get eighty carries. So really, Minshew's playability depends on
Pittman. And if Pittman's in,I'd play him. If he's not in,

(21:37):
I don't think I really am confidentplaying any of these other receivers.
Pierce has had a game or two. Downs, has had a game or
two. But that's that's pretty muchit. So Taylor's really only one I
like from the Colts. Here,from the Falcons, i'd in the playoffs,

(21:57):
you know, semi final round thisweek. I'm not confident starting any
of these players. Taylor, Heine'sgonna get you eleven points. Bjeon Robinson
might get your minus two. Likethat hurt, Like, what do you?
What do you do with these guys? I don't belay playoffs. In

(22:18):
the playoffs, I can't start him. Yeah you bention them. Yeah,
you're gonna hear a lot of thatfrom me today. So that's the end
of my game. Samesy's yeah,okay. So Green Bay Packers going to
Carolina. Yeah, there's some realass games this week, fellas. My
next one is Browns Texans. Ude, my next one is Commander's Jets.

(22:41):
So then I have Seahawks Titans.So there's a couple in there. But
yeah, yeah, have some guys. Yeah god, all right, Okay,
So, so Jordan Love has beena quarterback too for his you know,
his last two games, but aquarterback won the three previous weeks.
Good matchup against Carolina, So thumbsup for Jordan Love. I guess you

(23:06):
might have a better option for quarterbackone, but he's a solid QB two
if you if have superflex. AaronJones had like fifty three yards last week,
but he's still questionable with that inthe If he's up, I'd play
him. Carolina is not great againstfantasy running backs. I played Jayden Reid
if he's up. He's got thattoe issue, but last week he caught
a touchdown, six of eight targetsfor fifty two. The week before that,

(23:30):
when Aaron Jones was still out,he had four rushers for thirty eight
and a touchdown called eight of tentargets for twenty seven, which ain't great,
but at least he got targets anda PPR. That's eight points.
You know there was a stretch aweek ten to week twelve where he was
over ten points. So yeah,I'm going to give him a knot if
he's up. That's pretty much itfor this game. There's nobody else.

(23:52):
Sorry, those three dudes, Nopanther not going to fall into that trap.
Go ahead, Lyle Brown's Texans buddy. Okay, Joey Flacco, I
mean he threw for three seventy four. You have three picks. He's putting
up some numbers. In a superflex, i'd play yeah, yeah,

(24:15):
you know, Ford hasn't done anythingin weeks. Cooper kind of goes the
way that the quarterback does and canbe good. I probably would start him
in a flex, but it's Iwouldn't expect a whole lot. He did
score last week and had one hundredyards, but that was against Chicago.
You know, I don't know.One thing we know about Joey Flacco is

(24:38):
like he's gonna put the ball inhere, right, So I guess maybe
i'd give him a gun. Woulddefinitely start javidan Joko. Dude, he
has been phenomenal the second half ofthe season. Well, it's been like
a career booster that the Flacco's comein. He looks at the tight end
all the time. Yeah, butI mean even before that, he was
in PPR league. You know,you go all the way back to Week

(25:02):
eight against Seattle, where he hadseventy seven in a touchdown. The next
game he only had twenty six yard, but he caught another touchdown. Right
game after that, he had fiftyeight on six catches in a PPR that's
dude, seven catches. The weekafter that six for fifty nine a week
after that, and then Flacco comingin. Right, He's had ninety one
and one hundred and four yards inthree touchdowns in the last two games.

(25:26):
I mean those are monster numbers fora tight end. You get twenty seven
points out of a tight end,those monster numbers for a receiver, just
a wide receiver, sure for sure. So yeah, he's a mustar from
the Houston side. Dude. Soyou mentioned Stroud, right, he's in
the protocol, probably won't play Singletary. Did crack a hondo last week?

(25:48):
Cool? Do you trust him?Though? He scored the week before that,
not against the Browns, but notagainst this defense. Right, That's
exactly what I was saying. Sohe's a really risky go. If you're
looking for a flex he could veryeasily get you like five or ten points
maximum, you know. I youknow, against Denver, whose defense is
playing much better. He had fourh points right. Oh no, that

(26:15):
was in a standard league. Let'scheck PPR. Okay, he had five.
Sweet, that is a week youlike my dramatic pause. Yeah,
so I really can't recommend, youknow, I want to love Noah brown
back last week? Okay, maybethe flex again, tough defense. You

(26:37):
don't have Stroud. I don't know, I might pine everybody here, like
like, if I could avoid it, I would not play at Houston Texas.
That's it. Yeah, I thinkI agree. I mean, does
if Stroud does play, does thatchange a thing for you? Yeah?
I would probably play Noah Brown.I'd probably play him like Schultz if no,

(27:02):
no, all right, No,he's okay, right, I mean,
and there was some there was astretch there week nine through eleven where
he had some really really good games. But he's been beat up to your
last week caught four pass for fiftyeight. I have eaten a PPR.
You're under ten points? Eh,fair enough? Fair enough? Well,

(27:23):
I actually kind of have a realgame here. Lions at Vikings not bad,
Yeah, not terrible. Some playoffimplications here. Detroit is currently big
tied with the Cowboys and the Eagles, vying for the two seed right now

(27:44):
in terms of record. So theywant to win this game. I don't
know if Minnesota is still in therace, but they want to win this
game. They're in the playoff huntanyway. Yeah, yeah, they're behind
the Lions. They want to wingames. So for the Lions here Golf
just came off of like his bestgame of his career. He had like

(28:06):
too eighty four on twenty four.He was sorry twenty four or thirty four
for too eighty four and five touchdowns, no picks that any bait. That's
not very Jared Golf. Like prettygood? Yeah, pretty good. Now,
he didn't really get much pressure tohim, which is why I think

(28:29):
he was able to throw all thosetouchdowns. But and we know that the
Vikings do like to send five orsix pretty much every down, so we'll
see how things go. I seehim as a low end QB one,
high end QB two this week,but he's playing well, so I think
you're probably gonna want to start him. I think everybody else with a Lion's
jersey on you want to start bothof the running backs. I'd start Amen

(28:56):
Raw obviously if you can. Ifyou have a flex for Jamison Williams,
I'd get him in there too.I think this is going to be a
pretty competitive game, and I thinkthere's gonna be enough touches for a lot
of people. So I'm starting allmy alliance I from Minnesota. Guys,
they have a running back who knewit's certainly not Madison. Yeah, right

(29:19):
time a Minnesota running back has goneover one hundred yards all season. O
wow. Yeah, but he didit in spectacular fashion. I mean I
always wondered about that. So yougot Madison in there, and they hand
them the ball and he runs rightinto the line and he gets two yards.

(29:41):
But they bring Chandler in and he'scutting the ball outside and you know,
taking the yards of white chunks.So he's seemingly better. Yeah,
I'm not sure what it is.I don't think Madison's going to be playing.
The last thing I read was thathe's looking to get back to practice,

(30:02):
so I'm not exactly sure if you'regoing to be in. If they're
both in, I think that probablyhurts Chandler a little bit because I still
think they're going to be feeding Madisonmore. But if Madis is not playing,
I think Chandler's a really good playhere, especially with all the receivers
that the Vikings now have back.Having him in there actually able to do

(30:22):
something is going to help a lot. So depending on how the running backroom
shakes out, I think he's definitelyworth at least a flex this week.
I don't know. Man Detroit defensenumber one against fantasy running backs in the
last month. Yeah, this isa division game, thing's a little different.
Well, you know, the wholereason is that, you know,

(30:45):
Detroit tends to you know, beahead in the last four weeks in their
games. So yeah, these numbersare skewed, as we know. Sure
pass catchers for these Vikings, Uh, gonna start Justin Jefferson, Jordan Addison,
and TJ. Hockinson. That's JJ, TJ, and j A.

(31:10):
I'm starting all of them. Wow, lyle, that just happened, bro.
Yeah, fair, Yeah, I'mnot gonna start Nick Mullins though.
Gee, I wonder why. Idon't think I have to explain myself,
but wow. But yeah, Soanyone that could receive a pass, I'll

(31:34):
start. Anyone that could that throwsthe pass, I'm out on fair.
That's fair, very fair. That'swhat I got. So I mentioned I
teased the Commanders Jets game earlier.I know everybody's looking forward to this,
this hard hitting analysis Sammy Halle foryour Commanders. Before last week against the

(31:56):
Rams, he was a quarterback oneeight out of the previous nine weeks.
We know the guy can sling itright. New Jersey Jets are a third
against fantasy quarterbacks. I don't thinkit really matters at this point. Kid
throws the rock, So you know, I'm not going to tell you to
sit. You know, Josh Allenfor the guy, but if you've been
rolling with him in some capacity quarterbackone, quarterback two in a super flex,

(32:20):
by all means, don't don't letthe Jets, in their alleged defense,
stop you from doing it. Becausehe's he's throwing the ball against everybody.
Think at bench last week he gotbench late, but I don't think
it's like it's going to affect himgoing forward. I think they was realized
that he was. The game wasout of hand, so let's just get
him out of there and bring theVET in. And you know, he

(32:40):
played pretty well coming in. Itlost me a playoff game actually because he
only got eight points and I lostby two points. Yeah, I got
you. You know, I don'tthink he's going to be bench going forward.
I haven't heard anything about that.If I heard the opposite, Yeah,
I heard Ron Rivera say he's stillthe starter, but we just didn't

(33:00):
want him getting hurt. Yeah,so Brian Robbinson's got a hammy, you
know, Jes to twenty fifth againstrunning backs in the last four. But
there's really the Commanders don't really haveanything to play for, so I don't
know if they're going to rush himback from his Hammy. Antonio Gibson had

(33:20):
a chance to be the starting runningback last week with Robinson out, and
he didn't perform well. McLaurin hadthe best week of the he's out of
the season against the Rams this week, twenty five PPR points. Only a
wide receiver one that mean's top twelveto you would me kids only one other
time during the season, eh,Johan Dotson just barely Okay, Curtis Samuel

(33:44):
though, I'm going to play thatfreaking guy against Dallas, right, dude
had nine catches on twelve targets forone hundred yards. Against Miami he had
four catches for sixty five yards.Not great, but certainly flexible. And
against the Rams he caught five ofhis nine targets for forty one yards and
two touchdowns. Clearly guy gets targeted, and clearly he has the ability to

(34:07):
make a catch and then tiptoe intothe end zone, so he may be
a sneaky flex play blood. Iwould definitely get hip to give him a
go in that game. So reallyit's it's Hal and Samuel, which is
kind of weird, but there itis. From the Jets side, Big
Cat from Barstool said, the saddestsentence in the English language is quote,

(34:28):
we benched Tim Boyle for Trevor Simeonbecause we needed a spark. That's all
you need to know about this sideof this game. That being said,
maybe Breese Hall as a flex maybeyou know, look at his numbers are
not great, but you know Ineeded Garrett Wilson to get fifty yards to

(34:53):
fill out a three three piece parlay. Last week, dude got twenty nine.
Screw that guy, don't play him. Uh. And really from from
from the Jets side, it's it'snobody. Really, let's be honest.
Cool man, I got Seahawks Titans. Uh. Gino Smith looks like he's
back. He's practice practicing fully thisweek, so the Geno Show is back

(35:16):
in town. Made Drew Locke looklike Joe Montana last week. I don't
know what the problem that got,but they do that to quarterbacks. Zach
Wilson beat them. Uh. KennyWalker's hard to sit. Uh, he
wasn't playing all that well but youknow, absolutely blew up. He was
banged up earlier in the season,miss games against San Francisco and Dallas,

(35:39):
but uh, since coming back.You know, he came back against Sara
Franz, didn't do much in thatgame, but against Philly he went all
the way off. Uh, soI would definitely give him a go.
Uh. You know, I don'tI don't know what to make of these
receivers. Obviously DK has had hugegames. He's also had some games that

(36:01):
were just abysmal. I think youhave to play them though, and you
know, especially against this defense.I would probably play Lockett too in a
PPR. I just wouldn't get tooexcited about it. I mean, you
know, against San Franci he caughtsix passes for eighty nine in a PPR.
That's not bad. It's not goodeither, right, yeah, but

(36:23):
it's not bad. Uh, Fansjust a guy. You know, if
you need a tight end, fine, but if you need a touchdown,
he's not. He's not somebody's gonnacatch one because he hasn't all year.
Yeah, so you know, Ipass on him if you can. But
if you desprefer a tight end whateverfrom the Titan side, it's a big

(36:49):
fat oof. Gotta play Dereck Henry. I know he was terrible last week
against Houston average zero point six perdidn't he was? He like the first
running back in history to have liketwenty touches. I have nine yards,
no rushing yards, well, sohe had ten. He had ten total
yards. Oh awful. Yeah,he caught four passes for one yard.

(37:13):
I also needed him to score atouch and anytime touchdown to fill out a
parlay. Yeah he failed me.Yeah. He finished as RB seventy last
week. Yeah, but the previousthe previous three weeks, he was top
ten and he had two touchdowns ineach of those games. So yeah,
you gotta play by the way,just so you know all of my bets
I lost last week, so Ican tell yeah, I did not do

(37:35):
well anyway. Would also playd HopHe had scored in three of his previous
four games. Last week, hecaught two passes for twenty one yards,
which is terrible, but the wholeteam was terrible. But he was still
targeted nine times. I look lookat him to turn that around, so
I'd give him a go as well. And that's it from the Titans.
I would not touch anyone else.All right, we got Jacksonville going to

(37:59):
Tampa Bay. Not a great weekfrom the Jaguars. One week after you
kind of having to give Trevor Lawrencehis flowers or was that two weeks ago,
I don't know. Recently recently gavehim his flowers and they're back to
sucking. So nice, there's that, to be fair to them, though,

(38:21):
Baltimore is probably the second best defensein the league right now, so
I guess if you were looking foran excuse, there's a pretty easy one.
I still think you can feel confidentstarting most of these Jaguars against the
against the Bucks here though, evenif Trevor's out with a concussion. Ah,

(38:46):
I mean, I think he's trendingtoward playing. But you know,
I think it changes everything. Imean, I honestly don't know if it
really does, because it's not likehe's thrown a lot of touchdown passes and
you don't get that with the backup. The backup might throw more touchdown passes
than Trevor Lawrence does. Wow,So you might lose some some poise and

(39:10):
some game management, but like thevolume isn't going to change. I don't
think it's just the accuracy might notbe there exactly, and so I'm not
really sure. I'm not really sureto changes anything. So when you're telling
me you are willing to put somefantasy stock towards C. J. Bethard

(39:34):
and his ability to get the ballinto the end zone, Yeah, who
okay? I think So you've seenCJ. Bethard play before, haven't you
just sick? I just didn't know? I yes, yes, all right,
Yeah. I think Etn is ona little bit of a slide,

(39:54):
but we've seen what he can do. He's the RB three on the year.
Uh so I think you're pretty confidentstarting that guy really obviously has been
up and down. I think heprobably is flexworthy, but you know,
don't expect too much. Say Jonesis the same way. Evan Ingram was

(40:16):
on a really hot streak, gotpretty cold last week, but he's still
one of the best highest volume tightends in the league. You have to
start that guy for the bucks.Baker I think is still that QB two
solid fifteen to eighteen points a weektype guy. I don't know man only

(40:38):
two quarterbacks in the past. Ithink it's twenty years have a perfect passer
rating on lambeau Field Aaron Rodgers isone of them. Baker Mayfield's the other.
Wow. Yeah, yeah, hejust had that this last week.
Interesting, I didn't know that.Yeah, I'm not saying Pram, but
I'm saying you had a good gamelast week. Yeah, Well, congrats

(41:00):
to him. I don't think there'sa plaque or anything he's gonna get.
Probably not, but yeah, ifyou have a two QB league, I
might throw him in there. Notworth starting in the one QB league.
No, Rashad White, I stillthink has value as a pass catcher.

(41:20):
Both of these teams defenses are aboutequal, So I think he'll get some
decent volume because I don't think it'sgoing to be a blowout. He'll be
getting handoffs and catching passes. Mikeevans fantasy production went down last week,
but it allowed Chris Godwin to finallymake use of his volume. Had one

(41:42):
hundred and fifty five yards on tencatches twelve targets. Best game he's had
all year. I'm crossing my fingersbecause I have like five leagues where I
need him to score points to winplayoff games. Across my fingers that he
continues to catch passes it get meaningfulyards like we mentioned earlier, the Bucks

(42:06):
are currently in the lead in theNFC South and they're trying to win games
to stay ahead. So I'm againhoping that the offensive coordinator realizes if we
passed to Chris, he gets yardsand keeps that shit up. So I
think all four of those guys Bakerin a two QB shot, Why Mike

(42:27):
Evans and now Chris got when,I think all those guys are worth starting.
Everybody else honestly probably droppable at thispoint. The team kind of stinks
for a division leader. Yeah,well, there's always one division that is
going to send, you know,either a five hundred or less or worse

(42:47):
team to the playoffs. Was thatit for that game? That was it?
So he got the Cardinals and theBears. Oh boy. I would
like to say that I got theshort end of the stick for bad games
this week, but I think weall got that short end. So Caroline
Cardinals rather. Since he returned frominjury, Kyler Murray's been quarterback thirteen six,

(43:13):
nine, eighteen and nineteen. UsuallyKyler Murray is a guy who is
worthy of starting because of his rushingyards, but it's just not really happened
that much. This year in abig way. So for me, he's
a quarterback to and a super flexat best right now, and you probably
have a better option than Kyler atthat spot James Connor. Last two games,

(43:35):
he's been an RB one. It'sa good matchup too against the Bears.
They stunk all a year against therun. So for some reason,
it looks like Connor is going tobe a go for this week and a
play I like it. Let's seeMarquise Brown is questionable. The heal he
wasn't a practice doesn't really matter anyway. Oddly, over the past month,
the court of the receiver to haveout of this group is Greg Dorch and

(43:58):
it's not saying a lot, buthe's been not consistent, but has had
the better games over the past month. That being said, I wouldn't play
him either. The only really guyI would play is Trey McBride. He's
been a top seven tight end andfive out of the last seven games,
so yeah, I'm gonna play himone from the only one that catches passes.

(44:20):
Yeah, apparently from the Bear side. Whether or not you play justin
fields, I guess depends on whetheryou trust the right justin fields to show
up. You could be betting onthe Detroit game justin Fields, where he
had two hundred and twenty three yardsa touchdown, ran for a touchdown in
fifty eight yards. You could alsoget the Cleveland game justin Fields, who

(44:44):
out one hundred and sixty six yardstwo picks, did have a touchdown,
and only ran the ball thirty times. You could be betting on getting the
first Detroit game justin Fields, wherehe had one hundred and sixty nine yards
and a touchdown and ran the balleighteen times for one hundred yards. So
you willing to bet on which justinfield you're going to get? I don't
know. If you've been rolling withjustin Fields, then God speed, but

(45:07):
chances are you wouldn't be this deepinto the playoffs if you have been.
I would play Dj Moore. Notgreat against Cleveland, but otherwise, you
know, he's been been money formost of the year, and I would
play Cole Comet as well. He'sfar more than just a guy at that
tight end spot for Chicago. Right. I finally have a game, do

(45:29):
you that? Cowboys Dolphins? Baby? There you go play them all.
I'm starting everybody I know. Dakhad a rough game and he's probably out
as far as MVP is concerns,given that he had one hundred and thirty
four yards. At least he's notthe betting favorite anymore. He finished QB
thirty two last week, believe itor not. That's like the last Yeah,

(45:52):
dead last. But I would expectto balance back game from him,
and he should have a had adecent game. Oddly, he didn't score
that many points against Philly. Idon't know, man, Dallas on the
road, Dallas on the road,it's a different team, different team.
Yeah, so we'll see. Theygotta go to Miami and then they come

(46:13):
home against Detroit, and then theygot to go to Washington. So I
don't know. It's a bit ofa rough close out of the season for
them boys. But fantasy wise,I'm all over this game. Miami's defense
not Buffalo's defense, so I wouldexpect a very high scoring game. They
might both score sixty. What's theover under on this bad boy, I

(46:34):
wondered. I do not know that. I would not take the under.
I would not take the under either. I don't think I think it's possible,
Like being realistic, I think ifthe over under was fifty, I
would take the over. Yeah,yeah, absolutely, you know what I
mean. I think it's going tobe a really high scoring game, which
is great for fantasy. Sure,I would play Tony Pollard as well.
I know he's in a rough coupleof weeks, but the previous three he

(46:57):
had scored in in the last twogames against Philly and Buffalo allegedly good defenses.
I'm not sure about Phillies. Uh, but you know you're gonna play
him. Gonna play CD obviously.Uh. You know, even even against
Buffalo, he still caught seven passeson ten targets, just didn't you know,
get in the end zone. Imight even give Brandon Cooks a whirl

(47:17):
in a flex because of the natureof this game. And I would certainly
start Jake Ferguson at the tight end. He's got to be one of your
better options in a PPR league fromMiami side. Kind of similar story.
I played Tua, I play Moster, I play a Chane. I know

(47:37):
since coming back, you know,he hasn't had a lot of great games,
but he's gonna get a lot oftouches and and he's certainly quite dangerous.
Oh yeah, the real question iswhat happens at wide receiver because Reek
is still not practicing with that ankle. So regardless, I played Jalen Waddle
anyways, irregardless. Uh, butif Reek is out, I think Waddle

(48:04):
becomes like a mandatory like wide receiverone. Like I like, you know,
if we're talking about like, you'regonna play him if he's on your
team, if we're talking about dailyfantasy, he's a guy with target,
Yeah, he's gonna be. He'snot gonna be cheap either. I wouldn't
imagine he would be. But youknow, last week with freak out,
he caught eight passes on nine targetsfor a buck forty two and a s
knee against the Jets. Just blewthem out of the water. So uh,

(48:31):
that being said, yeah, basicallyplay everybody. I guess he was.
Wattle was wide receiver to last week, by the way, in both
standard and PPR leagues. So yeah, I just play everybody in this game
and be and rejoice that you knowyou're in the playoffs and you have players
on either of these teams. Rejoice. All right, let's flip it all

(48:53):
the way back in the other direction. I've got the Patriots going to Denver,
whom I don't think there's anybody inthis game worth playing. We got
a really really good defense against themedia car offense and then a good defense
against a horrible offense. Nobody hereis going to be scoring a lot of

(49:17):
points. Uh, it's just it'sjust bad. I'm not sure what time
this game is being played, butif you're on the red zone channel,
you might not see any of it. You might see a field goal.
I honestly, I honestly think thatthe kickers are going to be the highest

(49:40):
scoring players in this game. Sowait a minute. Which game is this?
Patriots Broncos? This is the ChristmasEve game? Nice? Something else?
You will be watching the Polar Expressor Charlie Brown Christmas at eight o'clock.

(50:01):
Christmas Story comes on Baby twenty fourhours of a Christmas Story on TVs.
Nice. There you go. Well, no need to torture yourself with
Patriots Broncos, that's for sure.Yeah, this is this is the sort
of game that might be actually betterto talk to your in laws than watch
this game. Oooh that's just crazy. Yeah, so let's move on from

(50:23):
this. What about go to church? Would it be better to go to
church than to watch the Patriots anyway, Yes, I think it would be.
Yeah. So yeah, that's that'sliterally all I have. I'm not
gonna even you know, you're gonnatalk about the game. You're just gonna
mention it and move on. Allright, Well, they don't deserve it.

(50:43):
I got you, okay, Sohe got three Christmas Day games,
talk about not having to talk tothe family. So you got the Raiders
and the Chiefs. So I'm gonnaplay Josh Jacob Jacobs if he comes back
from that quad, I'm gonna dothat. If he doesn't come back from
that quad, I'm not going topay play Zamir White. You got a
better option there. Last week ina what one thousand to twenty one game

(51:07):
against the Charges, he had seventeencarries sixty nine yards in the TV.
Not awful, but that game wasout of hand. He should have had
way more opportunities and yards than that. You get seventeen carries, can only
muster sixty nine yards? First off, all, First of all nice,
Second of all, awful. Iplayed DeVante Adams. Of course, I'd

(51:29):
played Jakobe Myers in a flex.And that's pretty much it for the Raiders
because we know what they are fromthe chief side. Patty Mahomes hasn't been
a QB one since Week twelve againstWait Vegas. I'm ready to be hurt
by Patty Mahomes again, even thoughI still think he's a bit of a
little bit. But he seems tothese games, these division games, especially

(51:52):
against the Raiders. The Raiders seemedto have the Casey's number the last few
years, but Mahomes seems to playpretty good against the Raiders. I think
he knows this defense. I thinkwe're gonna see him bounce back. But
I think everybody's got to pump thebrakes a little bit on all this.
He's just as good as Brady.Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
like he's a great quarterback. Hedoesn't. We don't have to compare

(52:13):
everybody to the guy who has,you know, fifteen Super Bowls. Okay,
right, right? And part ofBrady's great and this is the longitivity.
Let's see what Mahomes is doing inten years and then we can talk.
Sure. Yeah, well it's notnot only that, but literally yeah,
great word, yeah, it's longevity. I think it was the word
I was looking for. It wasfor sure. I threw an extra a
in there. I believe. Butyou know, let's let's let's everybody's pump

(52:37):
the brakes here. He's good,you know, not everybody has to be
Tom Brady. I mean, youknow, it's it's insanity. You know.
I constantly have who's better, Who'sthe better of all time? Lebron
or Jordan? Constantly having that conversationwith Jamie Young James Boy produces an easy
answer to that question. Yeah itis, it's Jordan. Yeah, it's
not even close. You wouldn't think, but the but the freaking argument rages

(53:01):
on. Anyway, I'm going toplay mahomes here. I mean, this
is the time of year that thisteam gets hot, and it wouldn't surprise
me at all if they were inthe AFC Championship Game. Wouldn't surprise me
in the least. That being said, if Isaiah Pacheco and his shoulder are
back, I would absolutely play him. If not, I would give some

(53:22):
consideration to role in CEH. Hedidn't have all lot of yards on the
ground, only two point eight perthirteen for thirty seven, but you know,
we know that running backs are activein the passing game. For Kansas
City. He had four targets caughtthem all sixty four yards in the touchdown.
And that's why I'm going to playPachecko as well, because you know
in a PPR, he's going toget you those points, He's going to

(53:44):
catch those passes, and it's youknow, it's going to be a thing.
We've seen this team role for yearsand we know that that's what these
running backs do. So Pachecko,yes, if that's the case, no
to Cech. But if Pachecko no, you might even consider Jared McKinnon interflex.
I mean, that's how crazy theseguys get. I would play Rashid
Rice. I wouldn't go anywhere nearKadarius drops a lot, Tony or any

(54:06):
of these other receivers. Of courseyou're gonna play Travis Kelcey as well.
You think for a team that haswon this more as much as these guys
have, there be more players toplay. But really it's just a couple
of guys. Yeah, man,speaking of just a couple of guys giants
taking on the Eagles at home.Uh. From the Giant side, I

(54:30):
might play Tommy Vida. Hey whatwas I gonna do with? Did you
hear that? De Vito is liketelling the Giant social media people to lay
off the Italian stuff. He's like, come on, man, I just
want to Well, I think hefired that dude. I think he's got
a video. Yeah that's what Iread. That guy was perfect. But

(54:53):
anyway, whatever. Uh. TheEagles are just tear of them. Every
quarterback looks great against them, SoI don't know. I don't see how
this would be different. I thinkde Vito is good for two fifty and
two touchdowns in this game. Ido. I'd like to argue with you
cannot there you go. I playSaquan as well. Uh, for obvious

(55:15):
reasons. That's pretty much it.I don't really trust any of the other
giants. I know. Waller justcame back from my arm. He did
catch four passes on six targets forforty Okay, maybe him if you're like
desperate at tight end, but otherwise, no. From the Eagle side,

(55:37):
I mean usual suspects. I guessthis is supposed to be a quote unquote
easy games. You're gonna play Dalenno matter what, gonna play AJ,
gonna play Devonte, gonna play DallasGoddard. The question is do you start
a running back though? Are theygonna run the football God knows they should.

(55:59):
I just don't know. Oh yeah, they're not going to. I
don't think it's worth's starting a runningback. Well, the thing about it
is you get down to the tothe one or two, They're not gonna
hand the ball of Swift. They'regonna put it in Jalen's hands and he's
gonna push his way in there,and which is great. I mean,
you know, the touchdowns a touchdown, but if I'm a running back,
I'd be a little pissed. Atleast give me first down for God's sake.

(56:19):
Not only that, they got Swift, who is making moves and stuff,
and then Kenny Gamewell comes in andgets ten carries or something. I'm
like, what was happening? Yeah, you got you guys run seventeen times
and you give the ball ten timesto this dude. I'm not saying he's
terrible, but you have DeAndre Swift. What are you doing? Questions?
Or or hey check this out.How about a quarterback draw or a bubble

(56:44):
scream? I want to do that. Run some more of those. Yeah,
God, anyway, that's it.I don't want to talk about him
anymore. All right, Well,you can move on to What will probably
should be end up being the bestgame of the week is Baltimore going to

(57:05):
San Francisco. This is a potentialSuper Bowl preview. Boys. Yes,
indeed, I don't see any reasonwhy not start everybody. Yeah, agreed.
Oh by the way, speaker,did you see the horrible injury to
Keaton Mitchell. Oh God, leg'snot supposed to bend that way. Guys
looked like a stork. It wasterrible with the ben's going the legs going

(57:30):
backwards. Yeah, he like kickedhimself in the nuts frontway. Oh,
you're not supposed to be able todo that. Yeah. I mean maybe
in the circus, but not ona football field. I'm going to mention
that the running Sorry about that.I just sorry. Lamar has not always

(57:54):
been the most productive fantasy quarterback.He's put up a couple of ten pointers
this year. Hasn't really been runningas much as he had in the past,
but that's when they had running backsthat couldn't kick themselves in the nuts.
Without the running, sorry about that, Without the running backs that they

(58:16):
used to have, they may haveto rely on him moving a little more,
which is good if you haven't beenfantasy so I guess there's a little
more run value there. But hispassing also hasn't been that great. He's
only been over three hundred yards sorryabout that, only been over three hundred
yards twice this year, only hasfive games with more than one passing touchdown.

(58:40):
I saw some earlier today that hehas just as many turnovers as passing
touchdowns. Ew that's a bad stat. Yeah, it's a real bad stat.
Not great, not great at all. So definitely some question marks there.
But this is a game they haveto win to keep the number one

(59:00):
spot. Winning this game what kindof prove to everyone that they definitely have
what it takes to beat arguably thebest team in football right now, and
since the Super Bowl preview, youwant to be able to say you beat
the team that many consider the superBowl favorite. So I'd obviously roll with

(59:21):
Lamar Jackson for the running backs.Gus Edburg Scott back in the end zone
this past week. But even withthe increased volume, San Francisco's run defense
is real good. He does havethe Lamar Jackson effect of, you know,
giving him a little more space onread options, but I don't know
if that's going to be enough.He's probably fet Flexworthy might not be more

(59:44):
than that, just as Hill slidesback up to the number two spot.
I don't think that means anything.If anything, you know, one of
them is going to get the carriesbetween the twenties and one of them is
gonna get carries on the goal line, and it just hurts both of them.
The receivers for this team, sameas it has been all year.

(01:00:06):
They might get five catches for fiftyyards. One of them might catch a
touchdown. That's kind of it.I think as the season goes on,
Isaiah likely is picking up on whatMark Andrews left behind for him. I
think he's worth starting as a tightend. Has caught a touchdown in the

(01:00:28):
past two games over seventy yards fivecatches in each of those games as well,
putting up wide receiver one type numbersas a tight end. So definitely
where it's starting there for the Niners. I don't really think I have to
explain anything, but you're gonna,yeah, I can. Rock Perty is
now the MVP favorite, and honestly, I don't really see why he wouldn't

(01:00:52):
be. Well, it's gonna startthat guy. Guys who fall who like
flow to that position tend to thenhave a bad game and fall to the
bottom. Yeah, so it couldbe could be Eastern Stick next week.
We have no idea. It's notgonna be Eastern Stick. Well, you
know, mister and missus Stick thinks. So anyway, I think even they

(01:01:15):
have a little bit of realism tothem. So, yeah, gonna start
party. Ravens do have a gooddefense, but I don't think that is
gonna matter too much for this offense. Uh, you're gonna start, mccaffre,
You're gonna start, You're gonna start, Debo, gonna start Kittle.
I might find a spot for usecheck in the lineup. Well, it's

(01:01:36):
you know, you gotta be reallydesperate to throw a guy who may catch
a pass, you know, JuwanJennings might find a spot. You're gonna
throw Ray in there. I might, I might have to. But yeah,
everyone on this offense needs to bein my starting lineup and yours too,

(01:01:58):
agreed, and thems E then gameses. Sorry I was off my queue,
Yeah I was. Uh, letme hit the button fast enough.
You know, I pushed a talkso I couldn't get to the button.
I was scratching my back. Ohthat could have been worse. So I
was scratching my butt and I waslike whoa, and then it was back

(01:02:20):
and I was scratching my right.All right, So we have questions,
uh, and only in uh indiscord, so wile please, Taco Wolf
says it chases out who should bemy flex? Addison versus Detroit. There's
one above that, oh from yesterday? Sorry, yeah, uh, well,
let's answer this one since I alreadystarted reading it, and then we'll

(01:02:40):
go back to Supper's question. Uh, chases out who should my flex be?
Adison versus Detroit, Ridley at Tampa, Chandler versus Detroit. Thanks for
your hard work, guys, it'sreally they don't work that hard. Yeah,
it's pretty easy. It wouldn't beRidley. No, I would probably
play Addison. Yeah, I thinkso, but pray for change. I

(01:03:00):
got two words for you, NickMullen. Right, I might play Chandler
there against Detroit, even though therun defense is good. I think I
would play Chandler instead Addison because ofthe Mullens factor. Well, so here,
I don't actually think the run defenseis good. I think teams just
haven't been running on them. Fairnumbers are low. Yeah, I mean

(01:03:20):
I don't think the defense is actuallygood. Well, you know they're they're
number one in the last month,but you know, what does that mean.
It could mean they're number eight whatever, so they have a good run
d but you know, number one, number ten, who cares, it
doesn't matter. But they're not numberthirty two, so it's you know,
maybe not number one, but it'sstill better than average more than likely.
Sure, So regardless, I wouldplay Chandler over Addison because of the Mullens

(01:03:45):
factor. Me. That's what Iwould do, all right. Thumper says
three of these four in a fourteenteen PPR, and then he lists five
people. Philly that's one versus Dallasthat's too Walker, the third at Tennessee
that's three, and then Madison orChandler versus Detroit. So that's the real

(01:04:09):
question. Madison or Chandler. Uhyeah, if it's Madison, No,
If it's Chandler, no, becauseit's saque most in Walker, right,
So I mean, yeah, Iwouldn't play either of them. So yeah,
there you go, There you godo no if you want. Okay,
two cha Lv says, hey,fellas few questions for us the semi

(01:04:29):
finals in my big money league.It's a half point peeper. If Keenan
Allen is out, shall I startNoah Brown, Wicks or Josh Downs if
if he's not going to clear aprotocol. But if I would play Noah
Brown, but it's he's not gonnaclear protocol, so it doesn't matter.
Yeah, well Wicks is also bangedup, so yeah, probably Downs then

(01:04:51):
yeah, so Robbie have a didn'tput that? Or Yeah? I think
I agree with you on Downs.It's not great. None of this is
sexy. I was trying to seeif I could wiggle some confidence into one

(01:05:11):
of these answers, but I justcan't. That's a lot of wigging there,
bro, So ride with Bjeon orgo with Gus, Aaron Jones or
Ty Chandler. I'd go with tyChandler. Well it's not gonna be Bejeon,
that's for sure. Yeah, it'snot. I it's like it should
be well, god, yeah itshould. It should have been that week
two. He had a good Weekone, just saying, I mean Gus

(01:05:35):
is good for a touchdown. MaybeAaron Jones, I don't know how healthy
he is. Yeah, I thinkit's Chandler, assuming Madison's out. If
it's Chandler, or alone. Ifit's Madison slash Chandler, I'd probably roll
the dice on Aaron Jones. Theresame also need to fill the flex with
the leftovers from above. So okay, so we get a second guy,

(01:05:58):
So I would listen to Chandler Jones, Gus Wait a minute, Chandler Jones,
bijon Gus, I puts out ofJohn. Yeah, fair enough,
I mean either way, it doesn'thow many times has Gus gotten minus points?
Yeah, okay, that's fair.Dak is my quarterback. But two
words, Baker Mayfield is a freeagent. What would TFFG do play DA

(01:06:23):
Day now a couple Miami? Yeah? Yeah? Uh. He also asks
about down the line a little bit, So one more tight end question Pits
who he's been rolling with or Walleror Craft? Why prop you're gonna bring
Waller in head of Pitts. Yeah, well, i'd start myself over.

(01:06:46):
Kyle pitt had eight points last week. Were playing the Philadelphia Eagles this week.
Though, that's a damn fine point. That's a really great more points
than any other player. Here's whatI'm not gonna do. I'm not gonna
argue with you about Kyle Pitts Wallercraft. Okay, fine about any of

(01:07:06):
them other than I don't like them. Yeah. And by the way,
rob I'd play all these guys overyou because you're a ship blocker. Blocking
doesn't score your points. Man,It's true. So there you go.
Two. Uh bean is it?He says, Uh, Hey, guys,
had the holidays, holidays, thankyou. Two questions for you guys

(01:07:29):
today. Start to out of Dig'sGoblin or Swift not Swift, not Swift,
not Swift at all, and startto at least one running back out
of Swift Jonathan Taylor. If heplays Brian Robinson he plays again, not
Swift. It would be Taylor,then Robinson or Robinson and Taylor. They're
kind of even in my mind.Well, you know, one's coming out
of injury. One is still aninjury, right, So it would be

(01:07:55):
Taylor if he plays, I don'tknow. If he plays, I'd play
Taylor too. But if neither ofthem play, I guess it's Swift,
it's a rough go. And thenstart Diggs, McLaren or McBride. If
that's Steph Diggs, I play him, Yeah, yeah, but definitely too,
yeah, no question. Wait,who's Buffalot playing the Chargers? Yeah?

(01:08:18):
They might be up by sixty pointsat the half, and they are.
It's because Diggs called three touchdowns?Three touchdowns right, or James Cook
has run for two hundred yards?Oh come on, Yeah, that's fair.
They did drop thirty one on Dallasand their quarterback didn't even have one
hundred yards. That could happen again. That's what I'm saying. Is that
good? And Dallas allegedly has agood defense the Chargers do They do not?

(01:08:41):
They do not? They have one, they have one. They have
an opportunistic defense. Yeah, andand they have a really good ballhawk and
they have an amazing elite pass rusher, but only at home, only at
home. The rest of their defenseis not that good. It just really
is it. Yeah, I'm justsaying i'd give consideration to McBride. I

(01:09:06):
think you're insane or for Diggs.Come on, man, you're not you
five bucks? Yeah you went,No, I have no interest in that.
Gonna have a little some something interestingin in the final. You wouldn't.
You wouldn't bet on Steph Diggs versusMcBride. I think that if I

(01:09:29):
put my money in it, thoughthe way I bet last week that I
would just I would just skew youthe whole damn. Yeah, I can't
you know, I had a Ihad a bad FanDuel week last week week.
Guys, it's putting me off ofbetting for a minute. How are
you We're gonna talk about this too, because I we gotta figure this out.
How am I betting on FanDuel?Yeah? I go to JoJo's and

(01:09:49):
elkt in for breakfast and put betsin while I'm having my eggs. Fair
enough, Yeah, I get agood brecky, I make bad bets.
That's what I did. So thatbreakfast costs you, like so much money
for eggs. Yeah, well youknow I get I get the short stack
and some eggs and bacon. Youknow, it's a it's a good breakfast.

(01:10:10):
You know with the fam it costsme. I either think eight bucks,
nine bucks. It's just pretty wellpriced. We cost you more than
that. And then and then Iput in, you know, thirty dollars
in parlay bets, and so youpaid forty bucks for some for some pancakes
and eggs and bacon. No,I pay eight bucks for pancakes, eggs
and bacon. And then I loseto a different restaurant in Delaware and pay

(01:10:33):
eight dollars. That's true. Thesame thing. I'm not blaming the restaurant
from my lousy betting. He paidthe extra money for the disappointment he felt
for the rest of the day.That's true, right, I Actually I
almost almost had had money on Chicago. I took the two and a half
points on Chicago and lost by halfa point. Helena Solent Turtle says a

(01:10:57):
Week sixteen wide receiver question full deeper. Sit one of these five Brown versus
the Giants versus the Ravens, Metcalfvers Titans, Rice versus the Raiders were
Evans versus Jags. Thanks guys,and have a day. You have a
day, sir, have a day. You have a hollow day. Oh
hey, now, h Evans,It's it's not Metcalf Brown. Uh,

(01:11:23):
probably Rice. Yeah, I meanyou know, Evans going to catch a
touchdown or two. And you know, I mean, you know all these
guys are good. But yeah,be right. Last question you want it?
Kevin, Oh, don't sure.Week sixteen fellas, I made it
to the semis and three out offour leagues and feel quite lucky. Could

(01:11:45):
still use some help, though,as I have no clue still winky face.
So in a one point peeper,I would stick with Pretty or go
with Mayfield. You can stick withthe m v P bro Come on,
yeah, play party. You knowMayfield had one game. He's crafty.
I like him, but no,I'm not gonna play him over Pretty.
I'm also curious what we're all doingwith the Keenan Allen situation. I'm sure
you cover earlier in the cast prettymuch sitting him in the situation. Yes,

(01:12:12):
I mean, if he plays,you know you need him at Flex,
fine, but like, come on, man, that team's a miss.
I would like to stick with KeenanAllen but can't. Right, Sorry,
Easton stick never mind. I stillhave beat Cooks and JSN as my
two starters, and you're still inthe playoffs. That's amazing. And if
Allen is a go, then whowould I drop to Flex? That would

(01:12:35):
be JSN. Yeah. And inmy second flex, would you keep Higby
or go with Waller? Can Inot go with the tight end there and
play Cooks or js N? Oh? Probably play Cooks? Or would you
keep Higby or go with Waller,Geiten or Reynolds In that spot, I'd
probably go with Reynolds. I don't. I don't want to go with Higbee

(01:12:57):
Waller, Geiten. Robbie would pickWaller. Yeah, you're you're you're glazing
Waller for some reason, I've hadfour catches in the past month. Yeah,
well guy was hurt, so stillmore than guid and Reynolds would be
true. Uh, Finn Pickens,I know, but hey, I'm still

(01:13:18):
alive and in another one point PeterLeague, I need to flex and have
Pollard and McKinnon, but also havethe injured Keenan Allen, Remandre, Christian
Watson, Brian Robinson and C Brown. Would that be Chase Brown believe so?
Yeah? I would Pollard for sure. McKinnon is it? Uh,

(01:13:41):
it is a p p R.McKinnon obviously. If Allen's in, I'd
play him over McKinnon. I meanhe's a he's a third down, you
know, receiving type. Yeah,but he says he only needs one flex
so if that's the case, it'spolar Yeah. I would powered this week
absolutely, and on the waiver wiresstill as there's still Tucker Craft in to

(01:14:04):
Mario Douglas and that is where theybelong. I'm you guys disagree, Thank
God, I'm hesitant about Pollard onthe road in Miami, and don't know
what the heck to do here.It's an absurd, se absurd shite show.
Please bail me out, Fellas,many things pretty huge, and Merry
Christmas to you and your family andeveryone else. Love you. Hopefully we

(01:14:27):
answered your questions. Man, therewas a there was a lot of stacks
of mediocrity. I would not beworried about Pollard against Miami, so I
think he's gonna put up a lotof points. I wouldn't have too many
concerns there. Either. They're goingto have to run the ball to win,
probably keep that high powered offense offoff the field. But you know,

(01:14:48):
stranger things have happened. Maybe theyhave to throw the ball to catch
up. Who knows. There youhave a fellas, Hey now, hey,
now time to go. Hey youguys have a holla day and a
merry Christmas if you celebrate that sortof thing. If you don't enjoy your

(01:15:11):
weekend, it's gonna be football galore. There's no more there's no more buys,
you know. Basically, the playoffshave started already for a lot of
teams. A couple of clinching scenarioshave already happened, you know, but
still it's wide open. At thispoint. It is gonna be fun,
all right. Then, Lyyle lovesyou. He means it, apparently.

(01:15:33):
I just love you as a friend, which is fine. I mean,
you know, people need friends.And I don't know what the hell Robbie's
doing. He's in the Nuggies.Robbie is indeed the Nuggies. Enjoy your
weekend if you have a holiday celebrated. If not, whatever, all right,
see it, do
