Speaker 1: All right, heading down the stretch. Final segment of the night,
Speaker 1: the News, Top of the r fall by the West
Speaker 1: Miller Show, talking some UC bearcats. Let's talk fantasy football now.
Speaker 1: Next guest host of Fantaistics Insider Football, Serious XM Fantasy.
Speaker 1: That would be Dan Klaskins and Dan. In most leagues,
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs start this week. I wonder, as the connoisseer
Speaker 1: you are, aside from not making the playoffs, what are
Speaker 1: some of the things you dislike most about fantasy football.
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, fantasy playoffs start.
Speaker 2: Lance. Half the league is over for them.
Speaker 3: Right, so a lot of bitter people out there.
Speaker 2: We're gonna feed into.
Speaker 3: It some things I hate. Let's start with kickers.
Speaker 2: I've been on this.
Speaker 3: Cruisade to give it the kickers in fantasy for.
Speaker 4: A number of years, and especially after Brandon Aubrey got
Speaker 4: like twenty five.
Speaker 2: Points against me last week.
Speaker 3: Oh no, there's such a variance there.
Speaker 2: Takes all the fun out of it.
Speaker 3: My least favorite thing is in game injuries.
Speaker 4: In real football, if a player goes down the first quarter,
Speaker 4: a backup comes in. In fantasy, you're left without any stats.
Speaker 4: I don't know why in Lance in today's age, with
Speaker 4: apps and all the software, we can't pick a bench
Speaker 4: player and have some.
Speaker 2: Sort of.
Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah nothing.
Speaker 4: I also can't stand crappy trade offers. And I don't
Speaker 4: mean to call our friend James ra Payne out, but
Speaker 4: he might be the worst defender of this of all.
Speaker 4: He's probably sending me one right now as we speak,
Speaker 4: but cam wasting people's talkings with ridiculous trade I really
Speaker 4: can't stand people that don't play their league piece, but
Speaker 4: that's just the commissioner coming out of men lance. Probably
Speaker 4: the thing that really annoys me is free leagues, like
Speaker 4: why the people playing and why the.
Speaker 3: People ask me to play in them? Like, if there's
Speaker 3: nothing at stake, I have no interest.
Speaker 1: Right, Great, Liz, that was a great rant there.
Speaker 2: I love that Dan, good stuff. Bring it all right,
Speaker 2: let's sell. Let's do it again your injury. Watch what
Speaker 2: we got here?
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's start rocking with the big news tonight. Some
Speaker 4: good news for the Bucks and fantasy managers alike Mike Evans,
Speaker 4: he's active from a collar burne injury to the sideline
Speaker 4: him for a couple months.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 4: We'll also get back Jalen McMillan. Now interer at your
Speaker 4: own risk. I do expect Evans to be on some
Speaker 4: sort of limited snap tonight, but he still could offer
Speaker 4: some good Fantasy production as.
Speaker 2: We turn our look towards Sunday.
Speaker 4: Devon Hien the biggest name on the list, miss he
Speaker 4: plays on Monday night.
Speaker 2: So it's not even Sunday. We're gonna have to track
Speaker 2: this one all.
Speaker 4: Weekend and it could be something Fantasy managers. We're gonna
Speaker 4: have to have a backup play, which would be tough
Speaker 4: considering he's one of fantasy's best running backs.
Speaker 2: Drake London He's already been ruled out.
Speaker 4: The Falcons wide out for tonight's game as well, so
Speaker 4: he's out probably.
Speaker 2: The rest of the season. Good news with Ceedee Lamb.
Speaker 4: He practiced today's still in concussion protocol, but trending in
Speaker 4: the right direction. Marvin Harrison Junior is still not back
Speaker 4: for the Cardinals, so Michael Wilson will continue his really
Speaker 4: hot streak hopefully Room of Dudes. Day's week to week
Speaker 4: there for the Bears, so don't count on him. Garrett
Speaker 4: Wilson not quite back yet from his active status, but
Speaker 4: the just playing for now that.
Speaker 2: I'm not sure sure if he'll come off.
Speaker 3: I are of course at quarterback. I know you guys
Speaker 3: Alread probably talked about.
Speaker 4: Phil Rivers, but as Daniel Jones managers are really struggling
Speaker 4: right now, as are the Colts. He's out for the season.
Speaker 4: Jaydon Daniels, he's not playing this week. I don't know
Speaker 4: if he's returning from that elbow issue and the Commanders
Speaker 4: losing zach Ertz. That could be a career ending one
Speaker 4: for the thirty four year old tight end. We'll see,
Speaker 4: but not to the end of the season he was
Speaker 4: open for that's for sure.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: How about our weekly look at studs, duds and sleepers.
Speaker 4: Yeah, let's start with the studs, fellas, and we'll start
Speaker 4: with my favorite stud.
Speaker 2: Of them all, quarterback Jackson Dart.
Speaker 3: I think it's like the third time I've had him.
Speaker 2: As the stud.
Speaker 4: The rookie has a great matchup here versus the Commanders.
Speaker 4: I've got him at the number three QB on my
Speaker 4: list overall, which is a lot higher than normal. I
Speaker 4: like the rushing floor.
Speaker 3: I hope our listeners were listening to Lance last week.
Speaker 4: Lance, but I gave him Harold Fan and Junior as
Speaker 4: a sleeper because he went on for about thirty points
Speaker 4: He's made his way to the stud status this week.
Speaker 2: He's my tight end four, right behind McBride, Bowers and Kittle.
Speaker 3: I think he's really connected with the.
Speaker 4: Dur standers and the top target in that Browns passing attack.
Speaker 4: I'm sitting justin Herbert this week. I'm a little scared
Speaker 4: at that hand. That cast plus the Chiefs matchup at
Speaker 4: aarrawhead a tough defense. He's outside my top fifteen and
Speaker 4: Brian Thomas Junior hits a guy. Probably one of the
Speaker 4: biggest busts of the season was a pick on the
Speaker 4: end of the first round. In most leagues, he hasn't
Speaker 4: scored more than excuse me, I had a cop more
Speaker 4: than three catches in a game since Week eight. So
Speaker 4: he's on my bench and my sleepers of the week.
Speaker 4: What he marks, I like him. Seventeen plus touches in
Speaker 4: five straight games. Arizona has given up the fourth most
Speaker 4: Fantasy points the running backs and Juwan Jennings go.
Speaker 3: Dig the PPR points at four of his last five.
Speaker 4: Tennessee's allowed seventeen receivers to hit double digit PPR points
Speaker 4: this season. Jennings becomes the eighteenth this week.
Speaker 1: Fellas all Right fantasy season winding down over for some
Speaker 1: does not have to be. There's the Do Good Fantasy
Speaker 1: Salary Cap Challenge. If listeners have been waiting to join,
Speaker 1: now is the time tell him more.
