Joins us every single week 2 00:00:03,520 --> 00:00:08,320 Speaker 1: to talk fantasy football, host of Fantastics Insider Football on 3 00:00:08,400 --> 00:00:11,280 Speaker 1: Sirius xm Antasy you can fantasy. You can follow him 4 00:00:11,360 --> 00:00:16,640 Speaker 1: on Twitter slash x at Dan Klaskins and he's with us. Now, 5 00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:17,439 Speaker 1: what's up. 6 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:21,200 Speaker 2: O. Happy Thursday to you, brother. 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,720 Speaker 1: Happy final week of the regular season to you and 8 00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:27,520 Speaker 1: others who are not playing out the string unlike myself, 9 00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,800 Speaker 1: which is exactly what I'm doing. But nonetheless, that doesn't 10 00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,000 Speaker 1: mean that we don't have our friends who are headed 11 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:34,440 Speaker 1: to the postseason in mind. 12 00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:39,959 Speaker 2: Yes, yes, and you know what psa announcement right there 13 00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,640 Speaker 2: if you are out of it, but the league's still 14 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 2: playing regular season games this week. Still set your lineup? Yeah, 15 00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:48,559 Speaker 2: people need those eleven seeds to pull off the upsets, 16 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 2: perhaps for their playoff chances, but this is definitely the 17 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,320 Speaker 2: time to start playing in for some playoff success. And 18 00:00:55,360 --> 00:00:57,120 Speaker 2: I think it starts with how you build your best 19 00:00:57,160 --> 00:00:59,560 Speaker 2: bets right by weeks. They'll be over after this week. 20 00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,760 Speaker 2: Only focus on winning right now, not stashing early in 21 00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 2: the season. You want to stats those players late, but 22 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:07,760 Speaker 2: now it's who can help me win this week? Maybe 23 00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 2: a little bit as you look ahead and you want 24 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,880 Speaker 2: to back up your studs, get those backup running backs 25 00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,760 Speaker 2: to your starting running backs, and definitely want to be 26 00:01:14,800 --> 00:01:17,479 Speaker 2: smart with dropping players too, because at this time of year, 27 00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 2: you don't want to just drop somebody that's going to 28 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,679 Speaker 2: become really valuable for other teams, especially playoff teams. And 29 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,679 Speaker 2: when you get into that, especially as you start to 30 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 2: know who your opponents are, sometimes you can play keep away. 31 00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:29,000 Speaker 2: If I know your quarterback sucks and I've got some 32 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,319 Speaker 2: spots on my bench, I could try to beat you 33 00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:33,720 Speaker 2: to the waiver wire so you don't end up getting 34 00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 2: the quarterback that could beat me. And then, obviously the 35 00:01:36,920 --> 00:01:41,800 Speaker 2: two most important factors here is it's December. Hey, look outside. 36 00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 2: You need to watch the weather because it tends to 37 00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 2: play effactor here. And it's the final and most important 38 00:01:46,440 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: piece of advice. Stick to the process. If you got 39 00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,720 Speaker 2: to the playoffs, if we're doing something right, don't go 40 00:01:50,880 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 2: change in the way you did it because you start 41 00:01:52,920 --> 00:01:54,080 Speaker 2: overthinking the decision. 42 00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: Let's talk about injuries for Week four team, beginning with 43 00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:00,520 Speaker 1: tonight's tilt between Detroit in Dallas. 44 00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,960 Speaker 2: Yeah, man, from a fantasy standpoint, what a frenzy we 45 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,800 Speaker 2: could have here for us tonight, but we probably won't 46 00:02:07,840 --> 00:02:10,760 Speaker 2: have one of the top fantasy producers in the contest. 47 00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:14,079 Speaker 2: That does appear likely that a Monrod Saint Brown will 48 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:17,000 Speaker 2: not play this week with an ankle and outside chance here, 49 00:02:17,080 --> 00:02:20,399 Speaker 2: I'm not very optimistic. I would have a backup plan, 50 00:02:20,520 --> 00:02:22,639 Speaker 2: certainly a situation to pay attention to as be a 51 00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,720 Speaker 2: closer to the inactives here at ninety minutes for kickoff. Elsewhere, 52 00:02:25,800 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 2: receiver Drake London not looking like good news there and 53 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:30,480 Speaker 2: they're surprised if I can send using to play for 54 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,040 Speaker 2: so why would he rush back? He hasn't practiced yet 55 00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:36,000 Speaker 2: this week. I guess he still could tomorrow, but I 56 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:39,240 Speaker 2: doubt it. Looking better for t Higgins obviously a full 57 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,519 Speaker 2: participant today, still in concussion protocol. Clearly we'll get final 58 00:02:43,560 --> 00:02:46,079 Speaker 2: word on this one before kickoff. If he goes, he's 59 00:02:46,120 --> 00:02:48,639 Speaker 2: locked into your lineup. There is a wide receiver too, 60 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 2: and Roma isn't It was locked in your lineup as 61 00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,400 Speaker 2: a wide receiver too earlier in the season, but struggled 62 00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 2: with late bow and now he hasn't practiced in two 63 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,560 Speaker 2: straight days with the foot issue. He's on the wrong 64 00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:00,480 Speaker 2: side of questionable for week fourteen, we've got the quarterback 65 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:03,000 Speaker 2: injuries to talk about. Justin Herbert leaving the list here. 66 00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,640 Speaker 2: Broke his left finger on his left hand last week, 67 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: finished the game, had surgery on Monday. He's practicing on 68 00:03:09,520 --> 00:03:11,200 Speaker 2: the side today. It looks like he's gonna play but 69 00:03:11,280 --> 00:03:13,359 Speaker 2: we're talking about taking not near the goalwide, letting Trey 70 00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,600 Speaker 2: Lance come in. I mean his ceiling is severely taken 71 00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,760 Speaker 2: down with this injury and the fact he's playing on 72 00:03:18,800 --> 00:03:21,120 Speaker 2: Monday night. I can find better things here for League 73 00:03:21,120 --> 00:03:23,959 Speaker 2: four team, Lamar Jackson didn't practice today. That's a trend. 74 00:03:24,160 --> 00:03:26,520 Speaker 2: Guess what isn't been practicing Elisa Da since he's come back, 75 00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 2: And guess what he hasn't also been very fantasy worthy 76 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:32,399 Speaker 2: no touchdowns, three picks over his last couple of games, 77 00:03:32,440 --> 00:03:34,680 Speaker 2: and even if he goes this week, he's a backhand 78 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:37,400 Speaker 2: and risky QB one. Jayden Daniels a pool participant today 79 00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,360 Speaker 2: in practice. There's nothing lots to play for in Washington, 80 00:03:39,360 --> 00:03:41,520 Speaker 2: but the fact that guy's a pool participant leaves meet 81 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: cautiously off the Mester Hill return this week. Aaron Jones 82 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 2: also practice today, so he's training in the right direction. 83 00:03:48,080 --> 00:03:49,680 Speaker 2: I don't think Alvin Kamara is going to play the 84 00:03:49,720 --> 00:03:51,840 Speaker 2: rest of the season, We'll see. He's definitely our Week fourteen. 85 00:03:51,880 --> 00:03:54,360 Speaker 2: With that the issue with the Saint Tyroen, Tracy should 86 00:03:54,360 --> 00:03:56,680 Speaker 2: play with the hipp and Dalton Schultz in the matchup 87 00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:58,960 Speaker 2: versus the Bengals. This is very key here for fantasy 88 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:01,600 Speaker 2: managers because he's treed, I think, towards a potential return 89 00:04:01,600 --> 00:04:03,920 Speaker 2: from the hamstring the issue, and the Bengals are on 90 00:04:03,960 --> 00:04:06,720 Speaker 2: a historic pace for fantasy points allowed, the tight ends 91 00:04:06,760 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 2: giving up four more fantasy points in the position than 92 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:11,480 Speaker 2: the second worst team in the league. So if Dalton 93 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,960 Speaker 2: Schultz is in there, he's probably in your line. 94 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:19,120 Speaker 1: Dan Klaskin's host of Fantastics Insider Football Serious XEM Fantasy. 95 00:04:19,320 --> 00:04:22,920 Speaker 1: Give me your Week fourteen studs, duds and sleepers. 96 00:04:23,839 --> 00:04:26,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, let's get right back to that game tonight, man, 97 00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:29,280 Speaker 2: And I mean with Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens to 98 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:31,560 Speaker 2: throw it to and a banged up Detroit secondary. I mean, 99 00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:34,159 Speaker 2: Dak Prescott might be I got a number two on 100 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:36,360 Speaker 2: the list of QB, but no shock or if he 101 00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,880 Speaker 2: puts up more Fantasy points and ANYHIUR player this week. No, 102 00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,360 Speaker 2: he is certainly top of my stud list here as 103 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:44,480 Speaker 2: his Bucky Irving just got back to the next did 104 00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 2: the Bucks running back last week after mission about a 105 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,640 Speaker 2: month with an injury. I expect a bigger workload this time. 106 00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:51,920 Speaker 2: The Buck's a pretty heavy favorite here against the Saints. 107 00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 2: Defense would have been very friendly to the running backs. 108 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:56,680 Speaker 2: Bucky Irving checking in at number seven on my board 109 00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: right now in this week's rank. On the Dutch side, 110 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 2: I mean David Montgomery, I mean he's very touchdown dependent. 111 00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,120 Speaker 2: Maybe he gets a little bit of garbage time here, 112 00:05:06,160 --> 00:05:08,360 Speaker 2: but with Dallas and the game flow, I mean, it's 113 00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:10,760 Speaker 2: just getting really hard to trust him. He's actually outside 114 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:15,279 Speaker 2: my top thirty. Dk Metcalf, another guy has been mostly 115 00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,680 Speaker 2: a bus here. Obviously this is a big game in 116 00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:19,920 Speaker 2: the AFC North, but he's gone four games in a 117 00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,680 Speaker 2: row without a receiving touchdown. He has fewer than fifty 118 00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,880 Speaker 2: receiving yards in each game over that span. DK Metcalf 119 00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,160 Speaker 2: really a boring fantasy option. And then finally some sleepers 120 00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,279 Speaker 2: Donnie Mitchell there, but the Jets has emerged as the 121 00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: go to guy and the youngster is in the wide 122 00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 2: receiver three range versus Miami and Harold Fannon Jr. Cracking 123 00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,120 Speaker 2: my top ten at tight end. The over under on 124 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:47,040 Speaker 2: this game continues to drop. It's down to like thirty 125 00:05:47,080 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 2: three points. I'm not even sure if he'll get there, 126 00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 2: but Bannon should be involved in the passing game enough 127 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:54,840 Speaker 2: to make him a viable option if he needed that 128 00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,440 Speaker 2: tight end. 129 00:05:55,960 --> 00:06:01,720 Speaker 1: Dan Klaskin's Fantastics Insider Football on sirius x Fantasy Giving 130 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,320 Speaker 1: Tuesday was this past Tuesday, but it continues with the 131 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 1: triple match.
