1
00:00:00,360 --> 00:00:01,240
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentlemen.

00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:07,400
Speaker 2: You want experience during your football season, well buckle up.

3
00:00:07,280 --> 00:00:08,400
Speaker 1: Sweet cheeks.

00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,320
Speaker 2: What we've got all the experience in the world.

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: This is I.

6
00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,439
Speaker 2: Want your flex with Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon. Mike

7
00:00:17,480 --> 00:00:21,280
Speaker 2: and Dan break down everything you need to set your lineups,

8
00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:23,240
Speaker 2: from position rankings.

9
00:00:22,800 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 3: To starts and sits.

10
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,760
Speaker 2: The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now

11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: let's get your flex sod. Here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:37,280
Speaker 1: That's Week fifteen for you. He's Mike comment, I'm Dan Byer.

13
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: That is Ian Roddy, our executive producer. You can hit

14
00:00:40,280 --> 00:00:42,880
Speaker 1: Mike up at Swollen dome't find me at Dan Byer

15
00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:46,240
Speaker 1: on box, and you can find Ian at Ian Roddy

16
00:00:46,320 --> 00:00:48,760
Speaker 1: underscore with what was a crazy week ends up with

17
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:50,800
Speaker 1: a bit of a clunker on Monday Night football. But

18
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:53,400
Speaker 1: I gotta say, if it's the first week of your

19
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 1: playoffs or in some cases even the final week to

20
00:00:56,440 --> 00:00:59,640
Speaker 1: a week of your regular season, Mike, Week fifteen, you

21
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: went out with the bang or in with the bang

22
00:01:01,720 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 1: because there were a lot of points scored on Sunday,

23
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:04,479
Speaker 1: a lot of.

24
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 4: Points, a lot of chaos, a lot of hand ringing,

25
00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:11,280
Speaker 4: and crying and throwing of things, gnashing of teeth as

26
00:01:11,319 --> 00:01:16,720
Speaker 4: it were, because some of our big, seemingly impenetrable forces,

27
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,880
Speaker 4: well got defeated. Right, I'm looking at it and it

28
00:01:19,959 --> 00:01:22,520
Speaker 4: keeps staring me in the face. The Joe Burrow shutout

29
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:27,560
Speaker 4: game where he seemed disinterested and I get all the

30
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,000
Speaker 4: and we talked about it on the Friday Pod, talking

31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 4: about all of the the comments that he made on Wednesday,

32
00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:36,360
Speaker 4: whatever it's like, but he still battled his ass back

33
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 4: to get back on the field. So in between the

34
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 4: white lines, I'm still gonna get an effort, right right. No,

35
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:45,000
Speaker 4: I didn't. No, I didn't. I got nothing. So he

36
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:48,320
Speaker 4: was top five on the rankings. He gave me nothing.

37
00:01:48,640 --> 00:01:51,920
Speaker 4: But we had the Superhero Cape come out for Josh Allen. Hey,

38
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 4: we're gonna spot you twenty one. Get everybody excited. Okay,

39
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 4: now we start our comeback. We get the chaos there.

40
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 4: Trevor Lawrence, We've talked about him a lot, right, he

41
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:04,200
Speaker 4: was in the hot places. He's a guy over the

42
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 4: last five weeks. But I'm looking at the schedule, I'm like,

43
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 4: do I trust him against a good opponent? I don't know,

44
00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,920
Speaker 4: And that I think is the summary statement of NFL

45
00:02:14,040 --> 00:02:16,440
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. And I'm not ashamed to admit it

46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,400
Speaker 4: as we sit here and we've done this, you and

47
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 4: I dan for a number of years and been doing

48
00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:25,639
Speaker 4: fantasy stuff going all the way back to Yahoo administrating

49
00:02:25,639 --> 00:02:27,639
Speaker 4: games since nineteen ninety nine. I don't know I've ever

50
00:02:27,639 --> 00:02:32,200
Speaker 4: been to this deep into a season, fantasy and regular season,

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,760
Speaker 4: to where the ups and downs and roller coasters of

52
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,360
Speaker 4: things have been so erratic. Right once again, Jamiir Gibbs,

53
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 4: we joked about it. Three touchdowns zero, three touchdowns zero?

54
00:02:43,040 --> 00:02:46,440
Speaker 4: Guess what first week ear playoffs? Ta da, there's another

55
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 4: zero for you.

56
00:02:47,960 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 3: So just chaos, yeah, it is.

57
00:02:50,680 --> 00:02:54,160
Speaker 1: And the zero all the Bengals is just crazy to

58
00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:57,160
Speaker 1: me because there were so many efforts that went off

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen and for Jamar Chase, like at some

60
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: point Joe Burrow's gonna throw him a touchdown pass right,

61
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 1: like it's going to come from Joe Burrow. And so

62
00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:09,919
Speaker 1: in these games that Joe Burrow has been back, I've

63
00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:12,560
Speaker 1: been waiting. I've been waiting. I'll even just give up

64
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,840
Speaker 1: my report card now. I had Ravens Bengals is the

65
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 1: points of palooza. I don't know if I thought it

66
00:03:16,639 --> 00:03:18,399
Speaker 1: was going to be another overtime affair like we saw

67
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:20,840
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty four, and Derreck Henry is running on

68
00:03:20,880 --> 00:03:23,919
Speaker 1: the sidelines, But I mean Jamar Chase had one hundred

69
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 1: and thirty two yards. But again to have the goose egg,

70
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: just you need touchdowns. I mean Trevor Lawrence in our

71
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,120
Speaker 1: longtime league, again a standard league, but it doesn't necessarily

72
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 1: matter with the quarterback position had our season high for

73
00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:40,680
Speaker 1: points this week forty seven point one in our league

74
00:03:40,720 --> 00:03:45,600
Speaker 1: with his six total touchdown effort. So it's crazy to

75
00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 1: think of the highs and lows with the players that

76
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,800
Speaker 1: you got with so much on the line this week,

77
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: And unfortunately for Ian it came against his Jets. But

78
00:03:54,760 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: maybe I should say fortunately because the Jets lost again

79
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:00,560
Speaker 1: and made another move by firing Steve Wilks. But if

80
00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:02,720
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence and Travis etn are going to carry you

81
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: to fantasy stardom, it's gonna be a heck of a

82
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: story for the next ten or twenty years. I'll tell

83
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:07,440
Speaker 1: you that much.

84
00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:08,560
Speaker 3: No, it's it right.

85
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,200
Speaker 4: We always look for heroes to emerge down the stretch,

86
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:15,960
Speaker 4: and from some they can always find regardless of the

87
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:18,880
Speaker 4: decal on the side of the helmet. We've always argued

88
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:21,560
Speaker 4: here in fantasy land, and then you just look for

89
00:04:21,680 --> 00:04:24,760
Speaker 4: trends and guys getting a bigger share, teams that are

90
00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:28,920
Speaker 4: shutting things down. Right with Washington Jaden Daniels, I don't

91
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,080
Speaker 4: think he should have ever come back against Minnesota, But

92
00:04:31,120 --> 00:04:34,119
Speaker 4: that's just me. I argued it, and we talked about

93
00:04:34,120 --> 00:04:36,799
Speaker 4: it when he was coming back here on the pod.

94
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:40,120
Speaker 4: But you know, it's just these final three weeks and

95
00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:44,320
Speaker 4: for the playoff run, a lot of trepidation looking ahead

96
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:48,080
Speaker 4: to the schedule for Week sixteen as we start to

97
00:04:48,080 --> 00:04:52,120
Speaker 4: go through things. We've got those huge injuries that marked

98
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,120
Speaker 4: Week fifteen as well, Right, I mean, be remiss not

99
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:58,760
Speaker 4: that you're suddenly expecting a barrage from Patrick Mahomes in

100
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 4: the final twenty second, but for fantasy purposes, he's been

101
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 4: pretty solid all year. He's off the board. DeVante Adams

102
00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,359
Speaker 4: had eleven points, he leaves. I know Ian and I

103
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:10,400
Speaker 4: were talking a little about that. That was one of

104
00:05:10,400 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 4: his playoff matchups, and certainly in Guillotine I had him

105
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:17,520
Speaker 4: and it's like, all right, is that going to come

106
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 4: back to cost me? Fortunately, as the day wore out,

107
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,920
Speaker 4: I didn't have to worry about it, but you know,

108
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 4: you check that box. What it means for the Packers.

109
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,120
Speaker 4: Does that bode well for the offense that they're going

110
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:33,480
Speaker 4: to need to fire up the cannons with Jordan Love

111
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:37,080
Speaker 4: against the Bears and down the stretch because of Michael

112
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 4: Parson's injury. I mean, it's just a bunch of things,

113
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 4: you know, running backs leaving early and the like. So yeah,

114
00:05:44,760 --> 00:05:48,520
Speaker 4: just a lot of handwringing coming out of this. Hopefully

115
00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 4: you survived in advance. That's really where we're at in

116
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:51,920
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five.

117
00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:54,599
Speaker 1: Well, I think when we look at the Mahomes injury

118
00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,400
Speaker 1: and we look at the Chiefs, so let's just start

119
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,160
Speaker 1: from that aspect, the fantasy ramification of that injury are

120
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 1: actually minimal. I mean, if you have Patrick Mahomes, it's

121
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,479
Speaker 1: a big deal, and if you have Rashie Rice, it's

122
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:12,760
Speaker 1: probably a big deal. But other than that, for what

123
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,800
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey has or hasn't done, for the running backs

124
00:06:16,960 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: that have or haven't been in the lineup, I mean,

125
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,239
Speaker 1: there was a while when it was Kareem Hunt's world.

126
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:25,719
Speaker 1: We were just you know, paying rent, we were just

127
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,680
Speaker 1: living in it, but when you look at what they

128
00:06:28,760 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 1: may lose because of it, Yeah, you know, like it's

129
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: Rashee Rice hasn't been as great as he was that

130
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 1: early stretch. The targets were there for sure, But yeah,

131
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:42,280
Speaker 1: it's interesting to see the Mahomes injury become. It's so

132
00:06:42,560 --> 00:06:45,640
Speaker 1: enormous just for the entire league, but fantasy wise, it

133
00:06:45,680 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: kind of falls in line with everything that's been with

134
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:49,920
Speaker 1: the Chiefs this twenty twenty five season.

135
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny because you have a matchup this week.

136
00:06:52,400 --> 00:06:55,120
Speaker 4: They're on the road at Tennessee. Still three and a

137
00:06:55,160 --> 00:06:59,039
Speaker 4: half point favorites with minshew Mania running wild folk hero

138
00:06:59,560 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 4: thirty seven and a half is the total, Just to

139
00:07:02,440 --> 00:07:04,200
Speaker 4: kind of throw that out there, but it might have

140
00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:07,640
Speaker 4: been a spot where, because of other injuries and inconsistencies,

141
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 4: you're like, all right, I'll push in that. Patrick Mahomes

142
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:12,640
Speaker 4: comes up with a superhuman effort. But now that they're

143
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 4: eliminated from the playoffs, obviously he gets hurt. But to

144
00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 4: your point, yeah, I mean, Travis Kelcey overall, the numbers

145
00:07:19,400 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 4: look good relatively speaking, but has he found pay dirt

146
00:07:24,320 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 4: for you regularly? No, man, that's Trey McBride and Jacoby

147
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 4: Brissett's world that we're renting in, which is just again

148
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,920
Speaker 4: still an oddity. But yeah, with the Chiefs, there was

149
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:41,400
Speaker 4: nobody you were trusting anymore, unless you're talking traditional leagues

150
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 4: where you still have the flex play maybe a second flex,

151
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,400
Speaker 4: and then you start looking for an act of desperation

152
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,440
Speaker 4: as much as anything.

153
00:07:50,120 --> 00:07:52,800
Speaker 1: He was getting targets. Kelsey was, but it's it was

154
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 1: so touchdown dependent and if you're a PPR league, maybe

155
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:59,200
Speaker 1: different situation. But even against the Texans when they were

156
00:07:59,240 --> 00:08:01,760
Speaker 1: just you know, know, manhandled, he had the one catch

157
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: for eight yards, and so yeah, that was that was

158
00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,280
Speaker 1: an issue. It's funny with Rashie Rice because guys, this

159
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:10,800
Speaker 1: is the trade that I've been harping on myself all

160
00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: year long on how awful of a trade it was.

161
00:08:13,560 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 1: The pendulum is now swinging a little bit back my way,

162
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,440
Speaker 1: not because I've got any value, but because the trade

163
00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:24,960
Speaker 1: is effectively going to be worthless because Ashton Genti stinks.

164
00:08:25,360 --> 00:08:28,200
Speaker 1: Mike just mentioned Devonte Adams being in Jersey's probably not

165
00:08:28,240 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: going to play Thursday night against Seattle, and I had

166
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,560
Speaker 1: Rashie Rice in that deal for Cheuba Hubbard, romondre Stevenson

167
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:37,360
Speaker 1: and Justin Jefferson, Well, Justin Jefferson now is in his

168
00:08:37,400 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: own head for whatever went out in Dallas on Sunday

169
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:45,040
Speaker 1: night did not look good. And Chewba Hubbard is there

170
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: and Ramondre Stevenson is watching Traveon Henderson run up and

171
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:53,400
Speaker 1: down the field and score fifty and sixty and seventy

172
00:08:53,480 --> 00:08:54,079
Speaker 1: yard touchdown.

173
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:56,319
Speaker 3: He saw the favorite for offensive Rookie of the year.

174
00:08:56,360 --> 00:08:59,800
Speaker 1: By the way. That's that's crazy. Tyler Schuck maybe should

175
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,080
Speaker 1: be a getting some of the considering what the Saints

176
00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:05,880
Speaker 1: have done. But Henderson has just been a game changer,

177
00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: which is kind of made Stevenson not useless because they

178
00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: have used him in a certain way in the way

179
00:09:12,559 --> 00:09:15,360
Speaker 1: that we have talked about. But yeah, that trade that

180
00:09:15,400 --> 00:09:18,080
Speaker 1: I keep on hamper and you know that I was

181
00:09:18,160 --> 00:09:20,160
Speaker 1: so frustrating because it was so mad at the time.

182
00:09:20,520 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: Now maybe maybe a little swinging back my way with

183
00:09:23,160 --> 00:09:25,559
Speaker 1: with those pieces not being as effective as they want

184
00:09:25,559 --> 00:09:25,920
Speaker 1: to see.

185
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:27,800
Speaker 3: I'm glad you're getting back to there.

186
00:09:27,840 --> 00:09:29,680
Speaker 4: It's like, because what we talked about, it was like, yeah,

187
00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,360
Speaker 4: give give it time, blooded jest state and let's see again,

188
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:36,360
Speaker 4: it's the NFL season. I mean we do the week

189
00:09:36,400 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 4: to week react and you keep waiting for breakouts that

190
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 4: never come to Justin Jefferson and whatever else. But yeah,

191
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:49,080
Speaker 4: it's you did fine, Dan, It's it'll It'll be okay.

192
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 1: I was. I was able to get Trevion Henderson in

193
00:09:52,800 --> 00:09:55,959
Speaker 1: a separate deal, so that helped mitigate the disaster when

194
00:09:56,040 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: Romandre was hurt.

195
00:09:57,080 --> 00:09:59,320
Speaker 4: But can you understand can you understand why Henderson didn't

196
00:09:59,320 --> 00:10:01,120
Speaker 4: see the ball more the second half? I'll hang up

197
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:02,079
Speaker 4: and listen for your answer.

198
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 1: I'm telling us what we talked to mid season. Again.

199
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,160
Speaker 1: They just they don't want to run him into the ground,

200
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:11,080
Speaker 1: but when he's running away from everybody, it's it's it's

201
00:10:11,160 --> 00:10:15,679
Speaker 1: difficult to uh to understand the uh, the Justin Jefferson thing,

202
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 1: though I don't know if it's a real thing, but

203
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,679
Speaker 1: I've been waiting for that breakout. I've been waiting for that.

204
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: Oh okay, even if it's just for one game, right right,

205
00:10:26,520 --> 00:10:30,480
Speaker 1: just for for one opportunity where we then overreact and say,

206
00:10:30,520 --> 00:10:33,600
Speaker 1: look it's back or there's Justin Jefferson. He had the

207
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,360
Speaker 1: touchdown that was called back on the penalty, and then

208
00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:38,680
Speaker 1: a couple of times where I mean the ball hits

209
00:10:38,679 --> 00:10:40,679
Speaker 1: her hands and you're Justin Jefferson, like, you've got to

210
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:44,880
Speaker 1: catch that football. And when JJ McCarthy isn't as accurate

211
00:10:44,880 --> 00:10:50,160
Speaker 1: as he maybe should be, when he's throwing balls that

212
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:52,480
Speaker 1: are in the neighborhood, you got to catch the football.

213
00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,800
Speaker 1: And it looked more like a Justin Jefferson problem more

214
00:10:55,800 --> 00:10:58,760
Speaker 1: than anything else that a JJ McCarthy problem on Sunday night.

215
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:01,120
Speaker 4: Well, and that's the thing is that McCarthy the last

216
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 4: couple of weeks, for all of the incoming that he'd

217
00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 4: had leading up to we go back two weeks, right,

218
00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 4: they put up what sixty five, sixty six points or

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,400
Speaker 4: whatever it is over the last couple of weeks. I mean, yes,

220
00:11:13,480 --> 00:11:18,200
Speaker 4: he's not hyper accurate, but it's in a target in

221
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:20,960
Speaker 4: a window, and you're seeing enough target. It's only only

222
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 4: four in the win over Washington. Okay, that game gets

223
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 4: away and it doesn't matter, but just two of eight

224
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 4: for twenty two yards against the Dallas defense. The opportunity,

225
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,480
Speaker 4: like you said once call back, but also hitting him

226
00:11:34,520 --> 00:11:37,000
Speaker 4: in the hands when we start getting into drops and

227
00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: the psychology of this all when you know you've only

228
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:44,400
Speaker 4: got so many opportunities and McCarthy's been great getting the

229
00:11:44,400 --> 00:11:48,640
Speaker 4: ball to Oliver and Hockinson and spreading it around the

230
00:11:48,679 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 4: back's getting involved. But yeah, when your opportunities are going

231
00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 4: to be that few, I mean, I thought Justin Jefferson

232
00:11:55,920 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 4: was the guy that needed those pressure situations, wanted those,

233
00:11:59,840 --> 00:12:02,360
Speaker 4: and it's been anything bought at this point.

234
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 1: It's funny because the Vikings scored thirty four points in

235
00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: again that we all watched, and no one benefited from fantasy.

236
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,079
Speaker 1: Now that's true. Thanks, Yeah, because Aaron Jones and Jordan

237
00:12:13,080 --> 00:12:15,680
Speaker 1: Mason didn't get the touchdown runs. It was McCarthy and

238
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:21,280
Speaker 1: c j Ham. Jalen Naylor catches. Jalen Naylor catches the

239
00:12:21,320 --> 00:12:24,920
Speaker 1: two touchdown passes. Jordan Addison leads in receiving the two

240
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:28,319
Speaker 1: catches for sixty six yards. So yeah, let's hear in

241
00:12:28,360 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: a super flex league and we're playing JJ McCarthy, you

242
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:34,080
Speaker 1: were probably skunked, even though the Vikings put thirty four

243
00:12:34,200 --> 00:12:34,480
Speaker 1: up on.

244
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:40,040
Speaker 4: The Yeah, Justin Jefferson one touchdown since week one, man

245
00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 4: eight hundred and thirty two receiving yards, most of which

246
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 4: happened before they left London.

247
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,840
Speaker 1: I felt that he was benchable. The last couple of

248
00:12:50,840 --> 00:12:52,719
Speaker 1: weeks and then like this would have been an opportunity

249
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: to put him back in. But you have eight targets

250
00:12:54,600 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: and two catches and for twenty two yards. Yeah, it's

251
00:12:57,640 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: not going to make you want to put him back

252
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: in the lineup, especially now when we're you know, smack

253
00:13:01,320 --> 00:13:02,319
Speaker 1: dab in the playoffs.

254
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:04,640
Speaker 4: Yeah. I had him as one of my plays for

255
00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,239
Speaker 4: the week. So yeah, beat it, Jefferson.

256
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:08,840
Speaker 3: Not gonna lie, guys.

257
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,439
Speaker 5: Even eight hundred and thirty yards or whatever you said, Dan,

258
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 5: that even feels a little high for what he's been

259
00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:14,120
Speaker 5: this Yeah.

260
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,240
Speaker 4: Yeah, those two weeks against Pittsburgh and Cleveland that accounted

261
00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:20,360
Speaker 4: for about two hundred and fifty of them. Seventy five

262
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:24,640
Speaker 4: against Cincinnati, eighty one against Atlanta. That's a four game stretch,

263
00:13:24,679 --> 00:13:28,200
Speaker 4: and then he had Philadelphia where he had seventy nine,

264
00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,720
Speaker 4: charger seventy four, so it's like a five game streak

265
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 4: that accounts for eighty percent of it.

266
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,960
Speaker 5: It's just because, like you know, in theory, he's just

267
00:13:37,080 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 5: one really big game away from actually still hitting a

268
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:41,400
Speaker 5: thousand yards on the season.

269
00:13:41,400 --> 00:13:42,720
Speaker 3: That's the surprising part to me.

270
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:47,120
Speaker 1: But I'll say this, if I'm the Vikings, and after this,

271
00:13:47,160 --> 00:13:48,920
Speaker 1: we can take a time out. But I'm curious in

272
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:52,720
Speaker 1: your guys theory. They're out of the playoffs, and maybe

273
00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:56,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying this as someone who has justin Jefferson, he's

274
00:13:56,679 --> 00:13:59,960
Speaker 1: getting twenty targets every game, Like they have to figure

275
00:13:59,920 --> 00:14:03,120
Speaker 1: out that connection. And if you can't figure it out

276
00:14:03,200 --> 00:14:06,480
Speaker 1: in these three meaningless games that you have the rest

277
00:14:06,520 --> 00:14:09,680
Speaker 1: of the season, then you've got to really figure out

278
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: something in the offseason on what you're going to do.

279
00:14:11,800 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: But if they can show any sort of rapport or

280
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 1: some way to break out of a funk or figure

281
00:14:17,200 --> 00:14:20,520
Speaker 1: something out to carry over to next season, like these

282
00:14:20,560 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 1: three games are the opportunity to do it. So I know,

283
00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: they threw it to him eight times against the Cowboys

284
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,800
Speaker 1: and he only caught two. But you're out of the playoffs.

285
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:31,640
Speaker 1: There's bigger fish to fry down the road, So I

286
00:14:31,680 --> 00:14:34,560
Speaker 1: would I would just continue to chuck the football at him.

287
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 3: I would agree.

288
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:38,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, last double digit target count came at the beginning

289
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:42,200
Speaker 4: of November against Baltimore. Otherwise, I mean, what are we

290
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:47,640
Speaker 4: looking at nine to six, six, four and eight. So yeah,

291
00:14:47,720 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 4: I mean feed him the ball and make him feel

292
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:52,520
Speaker 4: like he's still loved and if nothing else you'd try

293
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,440
Speaker 4: to establish a timing and rapport to your point, Dan, Yeah,

294
00:14:55,480 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 4: I agree.

295
00:14:56,040 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 5: I wonder if Jefferson sees JSNS just ninety percent target

296
00:15:00,160 --> 00:15:03,760
Speaker 5: Sharon is missing Sam Darnold, Oh, I'm sure got to be.

297
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: Or he wants to go wherever Joe Burrow goes.

298
00:15:06,680 --> 00:15:11,040
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, hey, Ian, you hear that. Maybe the Jets, Right,

299
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 1: there's even some Burrow to Minnesota rumors that were popping

300
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:17,840
Speaker 1: up with those those probably started by Viking fans themselves.

301
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:18,520
Speaker 3: That's not bad.

302
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:20,920
Speaker 5: I'll die on the hill. It's just not gonna happen.

303
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 5: But it's to talk about.

304
00:15:24,040 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: Oh man, we can we can do that another off

305
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,200
Speaker 1: season episodes. Oh yeah, hey, I'll tell you what Joe

306
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,080
Speaker 1: Burrow's performance right now after the zero point effort, as

307
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: we started the show with, maybe not the value we

308
00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:38,040
Speaker 1: would have thought. Just kidding, just a short term deal,

309
00:15:38,080 --> 00:15:39,880
Speaker 1: all right, We're going to take a time out. We'll

310
00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: have the rest of our Week fifteen reactions plus our

311
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: report cards, and Mike's got a waiver wire look ahead

312
00:15:44,800 --> 00:15:46,600
Speaker 1: to Week sixteen coming up later on in the show.

313
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,240
Speaker 1: It's all next year and I want your flex some

314
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: big matchups ahead four Week sixteen, but They look a

315
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 1: lot different from what happened in Week fifteen. The other

316
00:15:57,120 --> 00:16:01,080
Speaker 1: enormous injury. We talked about Patrick Mahomes earlier. The other

317
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:04,160
Speaker 1: enormous injury actually happened on the defensive side of things

318
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,920
Speaker 1: for the green Bay Packers. But that's going to have

319
00:16:06,240 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: fantasy implications. Heck, Mike, it may have had implications in

320
00:16:09,720 --> 00:16:12,120
Speaker 1: Denver on Sunday, Micah Parson's done for the year with

321
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:16,280
Speaker 1: that torn ACL. Broncos beat the Packers in that contest. Now,

322
00:16:16,320 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: Green Bay's got a short week against your Bears, who

323
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: looked pretty healthy and feeding against the down trodden Brown squad.

324
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: But when you look at the Parsons absence, what it

325
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:29,320
Speaker 1: did for the Broncos and bo Nicks, and what it

326
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,760
Speaker 1: could mean in Week sixteen, Yeah, the Packers are in

327
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:33,480
Speaker 1: quite a spot.

328
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:36,280
Speaker 4: Yeah, all of a sudden, the road opened up a

329
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:38,760
Speaker 4: little bit. We've talked about Super Bowl odds. You've got

330
00:16:39,040 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 4: your Seahawks, Dan and the Rams still atop the NFC.

331
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:46,400
Speaker 4: But the Packers, now that just becomes this giant question

332
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:50,000
Speaker 4: mark next to what the ceiling can be. As good

333
00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 4: as Jordan Love has been in spots and he's getting

334
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,080
Speaker 4: all his receivers back they seem to avoid while you

335
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:58,080
Speaker 4: lose Parsons on the offensive side.

336
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 3: They avoided the big hit because it's.

337
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:03,280
Speaker 4: Looked like maybe there was something more significant for Christian Watson.

338
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,639
Speaker 4: It's not the case, but either way, you've got your

339
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:10,840
Speaker 4: full compliment of receivers there, and it looked like Jacobs

340
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 4: is running well. Right, it's still moving well. They catch

341
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,119
Speaker 4: in the back of the end zone was fantastic. But

342
00:17:16,200 --> 00:17:19,320
Speaker 4: for Denver it's become interesting because bo Nick suddenly you

343
00:17:19,400 --> 00:17:21,959
Speaker 4: look over the last couple of weeks, one of your

344
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 4: leaders in the clubhouse at the quarterback position, for some

345
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:31,680
Speaker 4: of his efforts and the ability to spread the ball around.

346
00:17:32,520 --> 00:17:34,919
Speaker 4: And obviously the pass rush is not the same without

347
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:38,320
Speaker 4: Parsons there, but over the course of the game, you've

348
00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:41,200
Speaker 4: been lighting it up, and you know, over these these

349
00:17:41,320 --> 00:17:44,240
Speaker 4: recent weeks it's become a little bit more consistent. I

350
00:17:44,240 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 4: would have thought they'd have more in the run game

351
00:17:47,280 --> 00:17:50,520
Speaker 4: and that Harvey would step up in Dobbin's apps absence,

352
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:51,560
Speaker 4: but we haven't seen that.

353
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:53,280
Speaker 3: Necessarily. It's been more on the arm of.

354
00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:58,280
Speaker 4: Nicks and the defense hasn't been as nails, So we

355
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,760
Speaker 4: thought they've been great situationally, but they've had to get

356
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,840
Speaker 4: into higher scoring games. Go back to that Giants game

357
00:18:06,080 --> 00:18:08,720
Speaker 4: and a few others in between getting to this game

358
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:11,520
Speaker 4: in week fifteen. I mean, this far exceeded the point

359
00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 4: total I think anybody anticipated, right, Yeah, we talk about expectations.

360
00:18:17,080 --> 00:18:19,159
Speaker 4: This was not one that we thought would be playing

361
00:18:19,200 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 4: into the thirties.

362
00:18:20,440 --> 00:18:24,040
Speaker 1: No, we also thought that Josh Jacobs was going to

363
00:18:24,119 --> 00:18:28,280
Speaker 1: be limited with his knee injury. And while I guess

364
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:30,480
Speaker 1: maybe in a way he was because he only had

365
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:33,159
Speaker 1: twelve carries, it didn't look like he was limited and

366
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,280
Speaker 1: making that catch in the end zone or running away

367
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:40,080
Speaker 1: from Broncos defenders. And if he didn't have this sore

368
00:18:40,200 --> 00:18:43,160
Speaker 1: knee issue, I would think, Wow, this is really an

369
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:47,239
Speaker 1: opportunity for an uptick for him on the defensive, you know,

370
00:18:47,280 --> 00:18:50,119
Speaker 1: with a Parsons injury, Like if your defense now is

371
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,159
Speaker 1: going to need some help from the offense, then it

372
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:55,840
Speaker 1: really benefits someone like Josh Jacobs. But I'm not even

373
00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 1: sure if that's the case. You mentioned Watson's injury with

374
00:18:58,520 --> 00:19:02,359
Speaker 1: what's going on with the passing game, and now you

375
00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,879
Speaker 1: got a short week week of about the schedule the

376
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,600
Speaker 1: whole time. I mean you have a short week on

377
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,680
Speaker 1: a team that you played two weeks ago. Yeah, like

378
00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:13,640
Speaker 1: like like this is this is crazy and this is absurd.

379
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:18,280
Speaker 1: But it's like why why are we scheduling like this?

380
00:19:18,680 --> 00:19:21,760
Speaker 1: But how crazy is it that this Packers team is

381
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:25,400
Speaker 1: now so completely different than the one that the Bears,

382
00:19:25,440 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, saw fourteen days or thirteen days before they

383
00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:29,439
Speaker 1: play again. It's just crazy?

384
00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 4: Yeah, Packers that early look, they were still one and

385
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 4: a half point favorites on the road and this one

386
00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 4: forty six and a half to total.

387
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:39,000
Speaker 3: It'll obviously be cold.

388
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,840
Speaker 4: Night game, big prime time kind of extravaganza. But you know,

389
00:19:45,040 --> 00:19:49,639
Speaker 4: for the Bears, this last week is the outlier in

390
00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,760
Speaker 4: terms of team's ability to move the ball. Cleveland was

391
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:56,840
Speaker 4: just terrible in every way, shape and form. The one

392
00:19:56,920 --> 00:20:00,040
Speaker 4: thing I will give Shadoor Sanders credit, which I it

393
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,720
Speaker 4: got glossed over for folks that didn't see the game

394
00:20:04,600 --> 00:20:07,720
Speaker 4: of having a touchdown pass literally ripped from a guy's gut.

395
00:20:08,200 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 4: You don't see that every day, and he handled it

396
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:15,720
Speaker 4: brilliantly in the postgame pressers, So give him absolute credit

397
00:20:15,760 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 4: for that. But outside of I mean, that was the throw.

398
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,679
Speaker 4: The rest of the day scattershot and the Bears defense

399
00:20:21,760 --> 00:20:24,399
Speaker 4: held serve they'll eventually get fully healthy. They got some

400
00:20:24,440 --> 00:20:27,399
Speaker 4: more reinforcements to the back seven coming. But for the

401
00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:32,080
Speaker 4: week ahead, for Jordan Love and company, assuming Jacobs can move,

402
00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:34,160
Speaker 4: I mean they move the ball. They give up twenty

403
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,239
Speaker 4: six points a game for a reason. It's just a

404
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:39,240
Speaker 4: matter of are you going to give them the turnover?

405
00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:39,560
Speaker 1: Right?

406
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 4: Another three from Sanders takes them to thirty for the year,

407
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:46,400
Speaker 4: which is just absurd and obscene and things we don't

408
00:20:46,440 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 4: see with that regularity. But for the Packers, I got

409
00:20:49,800 --> 00:20:53,880
Speaker 4: to assume the offense can still churn now defensively, if

410
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,639
Speaker 4: Caleb Williams gets to sit back a little bit, you know,

411
00:20:57,680 --> 00:21:01,879
Speaker 4: the arm strength is there. DJ Moore back into into

412
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:03,199
Speaker 4: prominence this week.

413
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,160
Speaker 3: They're hopeful.

414
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 4: Roma Dunes say he was cleared and then he wasn't.

415
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,680
Speaker 4: You were with us Sunday morning, Dan, that was kind

416
00:21:09,680 --> 00:21:10,159
Speaker 4: of interesting.

417
00:21:10,280 --> 00:21:12,560
Speaker 3: Hey he's cleared. Next half hour, No he's not.

418
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 1: Okay, it's active, Yeah, yeah, it was gonna be. Yeah,

419
00:21:17,600 --> 00:21:21,000
Speaker 1: good to go, let's roll with Rome. That didn't happen.

420
00:21:21,080 --> 00:21:23,600
Speaker 4: Yeah, and Burns banged up a little bit. But Colston

421
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:26,480
Speaker 4: Lovelin's been one of the most consistent tight end options. Actually,

422
00:21:26,520 --> 00:21:28,800
Speaker 4: the Bears leading receivers since I think it's week six,

423
00:21:29,560 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 4: so they'll move the ball.

424
00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:32,280
Speaker 3: This one is interesting.

425
00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,160
Speaker 4: Forty six and a half is what two or three

426
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:40,120
Speaker 4: points higher than when they met just two weeks ago. Well,

427
00:21:40,440 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 4: I hate the Sandwich games more than like I can

428
00:21:43,080 --> 00:21:46,280
Speaker 4: complain about a lot of the scheduling stuff. I hate this,

429
00:21:46,359 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 4: particularly at the end of the season where you're not

430
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,280
Speaker 4: nearly to where that all twenty two started.

431
00:21:52,760 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, Tampa and Carolina playing for the first time

432
00:21:56,440 --> 00:21:59,400
Speaker 1: in Week sixteen as well a weird matchup. The craziest

433
00:21:59,400 --> 00:22:02,880
Speaker 1: part about it is the Packers and Bears will play

434
00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:07,959
Speaker 1: on Saturday, and it's not even the best matchup that

435
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,359
Speaker 1: has already taken place that week. Like the Rams, Seahawks

436
00:22:11,400 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: has so many ramifications now fantasy wise, I don't know

437
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,480
Speaker 1: on how things are going to translate. Considering the last

438
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:24,480
Speaker 1: time these two teams played, Seattle had their way with

439
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:28,840
Speaker 1: it statistically except in the turnover department where Sam Darnold

440
00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,399
Speaker 1: turned it over four times. But you've got a Rams

441
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:33,800
Speaker 1: team coming in again with the DeVante Adams injury that

442
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:36,920
Speaker 1: we mentioned earlier, but their running game, I mean Karen

443
00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:40,080
Speaker 1: Williams is getting some blake, Quorum's getting into the end zone.

444
00:22:40,240 --> 00:22:42,800
Speaker 1: Pooka had a big game. The tight ends have been

445
00:22:42,840 --> 00:22:44,879
Speaker 1: so much part of the conversation over the last couple

446
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,920
Speaker 1: of weeks, whether it be Kolby Parkinson or even the

447
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: rookie Terrence Ferguson. But there's a lot of options for

448
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. But the Seahawks did kind of put them

449
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:56,399
Speaker 1: in place. And the Seahawks have an injury of their

450
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,399
Speaker 1: own with their love tackle Charles cross So, and we

451
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: know what happens, and Sam Donald gets pressure. But it

452
00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:03,440
Speaker 1: should be a dandy on Thursday.

453
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,520
Speaker 4: Night, forty four and a half the total rams and

454
00:23:05,600 --> 00:23:07,840
Speaker 4: narrow one and a half point favorite. If we're going

455
00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:09,600
Speaker 4: to talk about this game, we have to hit the

456
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,960
Speaker 4: rewind button to what you saw. Dan, You're a broadcast professional.

457
00:23:14,480 --> 00:23:17,560
Speaker 4: I've known you a very long time. How many times

458
00:23:17,560 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 4: do they have to dump you? Watching that GameZone Rang.

459
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:25,960
Speaker 1: You felt on an island because everybody was cheering for

460
00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers. I wanted to cheer for Philip Rivers. I

461
00:23:28,880 --> 00:23:31,639
Speaker 1: just couldn't not in those instances. And to see the

462
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:35,560
Speaker 1: Seahawks stall, to be able to not cash in, and

463
00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:37,119
Speaker 1: I give the Colts a lot of credit. Give the

464
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:38,439
Speaker 1: Colts defense a lot of credit.

465
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, fifty rushing yards, yeah wow.

466
00:23:41,200 --> 00:23:44,040
Speaker 1: Yeah. The Seahawks have really do have an issue with

467
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:47,440
Speaker 1: the with the running game. It's it's almost just there

468
00:23:48,520 --> 00:23:52,119
Speaker 1: to do it. Like when Zach Charbonnay is just running

469
00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:57,160
Speaker 1: in straight into a pile and getting five yards maximum

470
00:23:57,320 --> 00:23:59,600
Speaker 1: because he had a long of eight. Like, they're just

471
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,320
Speaker 1: they're just doing it to do it. They're not doing

472
00:24:02,359 --> 00:24:04,440
Speaker 1: it because it helps them. They're doing it to do it.

473
00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: But you know, they get out of there with a

474
00:24:06,840 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: win and JSN with a couple of big plays. Nobody

475
00:24:09,320 --> 00:24:11,600
Speaker 1: got into the end zone because of the six field goals.

476
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:16,120
Speaker 1: But you'd have to think that that changes on Thursday night.

477
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:21,000
Speaker 1: And yeah, I don't expect at one point this season, guys,

478
00:24:21,119 --> 00:24:23,919
Speaker 1: I thought you were going to see, Okay, here's Kenneth

479
00:24:23,960 --> 00:24:26,880
Speaker 1: Walker's opportunity. That was about two or three games ago,

480
00:24:27,359 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 1: and now that just hasn't happened. They haven't been able

481
00:24:30,320 --> 00:24:34,360
Speaker 1: to really ever get it going. I don't know why.

482
00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: I know that there's the theory on they passed to

483
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,119
Speaker 1: kind of set up the run, but again, it's just

484
00:24:41,160 --> 00:24:44,280
Speaker 1: there's no point in the running game so Scharbona and

485
00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: Kenneth Walker had stinkers against the Colts in a game

486
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:49,920
Speaker 1: that they probably really could have used those guys to

487
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:52,760
Speaker 1: break out, but it just didn't happen. And I think

488
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:53,960
Speaker 1: it's going to happen for them.

489
00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,480
Speaker 5: I just don't get why they don't try something else,

490
00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:58,960
Speaker 5: because it's not anything new them having issues in the

491
00:24:59,040 --> 00:25:02,280
Speaker 5: run game. And everyone can see, and we've talked about

492
00:25:02,280 --> 00:25:04,800
Speaker 5: this plenty just how much more explosive Kenneth Walker is

493
00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:06,959
Speaker 5: than Zach Scharbiney. And this isn't just me talking as

494
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:09,439
Speaker 5: a Kenneth Walker owner. It just really feels like it's

495
00:25:09,480 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 5: a momentum killer when you take one of these guys

496
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 5: out to give the other their snaps just for the

497
00:25:14,400 --> 00:25:16,560
Speaker 5: sake of giving them their snaps, like, try to actually

498
00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,879
Speaker 5: put the best product on the field.

499
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,440
Speaker 1: I don't know how you can get into a rhythm,

500
00:25:21,920 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: and I don't know if they want to get into

501
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:27,040
Speaker 1: a rhythm with the running game. That's the crazy thing,

502
00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: because they're so dependent on Donald in the passing game.

503
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:35,680
Speaker 1: And yeah, it's just it's very, very frustrating for fantasy

504
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,800
Speaker 1: owners and there's really no reason, like we're hoping for

505
00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:43,040
Speaker 1: a breakout for Justin Jefferson. There's nothing there to make

506
00:25:43,119 --> 00:25:45,600
Speaker 1: you think that Kenneth Walker is going to break out,

507
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:49,200
Speaker 1: except when you see him. He does have the talent.

508
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:51,679
Speaker 1: There's just not going to be the opportunities. There's not

509
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: going to be the three touchdown game that he had

510
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: against the Lions a couple of years ago. The game

511
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,359
Speaker 1: has had a couple of them in his career in

512
00:25:57,400 --> 00:26:00,080
Speaker 1: those days just are over in Seattle.

513
00:25:59,720 --> 00:26:02,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, because you know in the red zone you've got

514
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,920
Speaker 4: all the threat of passing. But obviously Charbone has been

515
00:26:05,720 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 4: coming into Vulture that when those opportunities present. For Week

516
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 4: sixteen Fantasy Pros, early results both are you're looking at

517
00:26:14,680 --> 00:26:20,120
Speaker 4: flex plays only in the thirties and late thirties for Charbone.

518
00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:24,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's he doesn't get enough of an opportunity. And

519
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,040
Speaker 1: I mean he's not even he's not even active in

520
00:26:27,080 --> 00:26:30,639
Speaker 1: the passing game either. It's just there to to run

521
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: and run. He literally is.

522
00:26:32,200 --> 00:26:35,119
Speaker 5: He just is there to take carries away from Kenneth Walker.

523
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:37,920
Speaker 5: He's like it just feels like Charbone's only role there

524
00:26:38,000 --> 00:26:40,720
Speaker 5: is to just stop Kenneth Walker from getting momentum.

525
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:43,359
Speaker 3: Oh not so fast, buddy. That's that's Sharmon.

526
00:26:43,920 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 1: There's just yeah, there's not a lot. There's not a

527
00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: lot of value. There's really and outside of now Jason

528
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:51,080
Speaker 1: Myers in the great da that he that he had,

529
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: But I mean, you're not playing anybody. You're not playing

530
00:26:53,880 --> 00:26:57,240
Speaker 1: Rashid Shaheed, who's got involved into the offense a little

531
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,040
Speaker 1: bit more. You could see an effort for them and

532
00:26:59,119 --> 00:27:01,840
Speaker 1: trying to get him the foot ball. Cooper Cup had

533
00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,720
Speaker 1: a better game against the Colts than he's had in

534
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:06,600
Speaker 1: the past, but it's still it's just basically, does Jackson

535
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:09,159
Speaker 1: Smith and Jigbub have a huge game and does he

536
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: get you into the end zone? And that's where sam

537
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,280
Speaker 1: Donold's value is going to be as well.

538
00:27:13,560 --> 00:27:15,760
Speaker 4: Yeah, we look over the last couple of weeks, the

539
00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:18,639
Speaker 4: tight end position being the cesspool that it is, you

540
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:21,040
Speaker 4: at least have some opportunity from Barner.

541
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:25,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, what it amounts to that's a whole other thing.

542
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,240
Speaker 4: Right, we haven't seen a touchdown since what week five,

543
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,239
Speaker 4: But when you're talking about getting four to six or

544
00:27:32,359 --> 00:27:36,760
Speaker 4: targets are more, you're at least invested a bit as

545
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,480
Speaker 4: opposed to most teams where it's a roll of the

546
00:27:39,520 --> 00:27:41,760
Speaker 4: dice as to which of their three tight ends actually

547
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:43,080
Speaker 4: get deployed in a given week.

548
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:48,320
Speaker 1: What about Philip rivers performance, What was your takeaway, Mike

549
00:27:48,359 --> 00:27:48,720
Speaker 1: from that?

550
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:53,119
Speaker 4: Well, I was shocked that they didn't conjure up some

551
00:27:53,160 --> 00:27:56,000
Speaker 4: blitzes to just beat the hell out of him, which is.

552
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 3: One the moon balls.

553
00:27:59,280 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 4: Like, he wasn't a guy with the greatest of arms

554
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:07,320
Speaker 4: in those final throws in Indianapolis before. Right, that's five

555
00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,080
Speaker 4: years ago, so it's not like he's gonna suddenly come

556
00:28:10,119 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 4: out and have a cannon for an arm. But in

557
00:28:13,560 --> 00:28:16,000
Speaker 4: the end, he did what they asked him to do, right,

558
00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:18,800
Speaker 4: it's make plays. He was thirty yards under is over

559
00:28:18,920 --> 00:28:24,679
Speaker 4: undertotal that we talked about on Friday that you know,

560
00:28:25,240 --> 00:28:29,800
Speaker 4: crime me a river Parlay failed miserably, but he gave

561
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 4: him the best position they and they did. The Colts

562
00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: actually did what I thought the Seahawks would do in

563
00:28:37,119 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 4: that while Jonathan Taylor wasn't running him up, they ground

564
00:28:40,800 --> 00:28:44,840
Speaker 4: down the clock. Right, twenty five carries eighty seven yards.

565
00:28:44,840 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 4: That's a lot of time of possession, so you make

566
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,560
Speaker 4: you shorten the game and keep your team in it.

567
00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 4: And for Philip Rivers, yeah, I mean there's no zip now. Fortunately,

568
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 4: this next week, He's got San Francisco, they've got no

569
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:03,560
Speaker 4: pass rush, so there's actually I don't know what they

570
00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:07,120
Speaker 4: can scheme up. But we saw Aaron Rodgers on Monday night,

571
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,680
Speaker 4: right the bookend game against Miami. His average area yards

572
00:29:10,680 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 4: except for maybe like three throws, had to be about

573
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,920
Speaker 4: two yards. A lot of quick screen passes, good blocks

574
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:19,160
Speaker 4: on the edges by the wide outs and tight ends

575
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 4: to get out there, and a lot of yak. Like

576
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,880
Speaker 4: at one point Friarmuth had three catches and I think

577
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,800
Speaker 4: it was thirty five yards of his forty five were yak.

578
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 4: That's how short the pass game was. So if they

579
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,840
Speaker 4: can scheme something up like that, then then maybe you

580
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 4: can make a little Hey, but are you starting any

581
00:29:35,160 --> 00:29:38,800
Speaker 4: of these guys? Hell no, even Tyler Warrens a giant

582
00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:39,600
Speaker 4: question mark.

583
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,000
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, I mean you're of the receivers. This is

584
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: the crazy thing about it. If Josh Downs recognizes the

585
00:29:49,320 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: play in the pass from Philip Rivers, he ends up

586
00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,720
Speaker 1: having a two score game. There was the one where

587
00:29:56,760 --> 00:29:58,920
Speaker 1: he looked back and didn't realize that the football was

588
00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:03,320
Speaker 1: already thrown. That is that's the veteran Philip Rivers like

589
00:30:03,360 --> 00:30:05,560
Speaker 1: he knew where to put the football and Downs wasn't

590
00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: ready for it because no quarterback had thrown him the

591
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 1: football at that point. And I think that that's not

592
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:15,320
Speaker 1: a whose fault was it, But if there was fault

593
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:17,640
Speaker 1: to be given, it was probably Downs to not be

594
00:30:17,800 --> 00:30:20,680
Speaker 1: ready for the football as he kind of gave the hey,

595
00:30:20,800 --> 00:30:22,800
Speaker 1: throw it up for me, and the ball was already released,

596
00:30:22,800 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: it was already in the air. He could add a

597
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,040
Speaker 1: two touchdown day and the Colts maybe end up winning

598
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,280
Speaker 1: that game. I think it's going to get better in

599
00:30:29,840 --> 00:30:33,040
Speaker 1: Week sixteen on that Monday night game. I don't I'm

600
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,320
Speaker 1: right there with you that I wouldn't play any of

601
00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,040
Speaker 1: those other guys. But if you are in a tight

602
00:30:38,120 --> 00:30:40,840
Speaker 1: end situation and you have Tyler Warren, like there could

603
00:30:40,840 --> 00:30:44,560
Speaker 1: be a spot where Tyler Warren throws a touchdown, you know,

604
00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:47,280
Speaker 1: like just to try to do something different and try

605
00:30:47,320 --> 00:30:49,920
Speaker 1: to figure it out. You're indoors, you're not dealing with it,

606
00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: and just a completely different defense that you're now facing

607
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:56,239
Speaker 1: as opposed to what Seattle had in San Francisco. They

608
00:30:56,320 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: just started the personnel that Seattle has and there's no

609
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:02,280
Speaker 1: Fred Warner and no Nick Bosa, so you don't have

610
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:04,200
Speaker 1: to worry about those guys. But I do think that

611
00:31:04,280 --> 00:31:06,040
Speaker 1: there's going to be an uptick for the Colts, but

612
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:09,640
Speaker 1: not enough to warrant playing a guy unless you absolutely

613
00:31:10,040 --> 00:31:12,360
Speaker 1: have to in Tyler Warren, like you're not saying, well,

614
00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:14,920
Speaker 1: I'm loading up Alec Peers in this one. Yeah, that's

615
00:31:14,920 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: just not what you're doing.

616
00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,680
Speaker 4: Well, especially since he feasts on balls eighteen to twenty

617
00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 4: five yards down here. That anyway, I look, it's better

618
00:31:23,840 --> 00:31:26,880
Speaker 4: than Dylan Gabriel, but it's but it's not exactly a

619
00:31:26,960 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 4: running gun situation like I always talk about. And I

620
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 4: love it in all these sports. The longer that we

621
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,600
Speaker 4: can get these guys hanging around or coming back or whatever.

622
00:31:37,840 --> 00:31:41,360
Speaker 4: And Phillip's speech after the game was fantastic, you know,

623
00:31:41,480 --> 00:31:45,920
Speaker 4: talking about fear and battling and and you know adversity

624
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,280
Speaker 4: and challenges and all, which is which is great, right,

625
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 4: we need we need some positivity.

626
00:31:51,200 --> 00:31:53,640
Speaker 3: But you know, is it perfect?

627
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:55,520
Speaker 4: Like the folks that wanted to kill it, it's like,

628
00:31:55,640 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 4: all right, you get someone.

629
00:31:57,640 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 3: To give you a hug.

630
00:31:59,120 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, right.

631
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:03,520
Speaker 4: If this is something that really infuriates you, look around

632
00:32:03,520 --> 00:32:06,800
Speaker 4: the league. Look at how desperate teams get when their

633
00:32:06,840 --> 00:32:11,440
Speaker 4: starter goes down. Quarterbacks is very, very very rare commodity.

634
00:32:11,920 --> 00:32:14,400
Speaker 4: And you know, saying well they should have just grabbed

635
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,080
Speaker 4: someone off a practice squad. It's like, did they know

636
00:32:17,480 --> 00:32:20,760
Speaker 4: Shane Steichen his terminology and how this works. Like you

637
00:32:20,840 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 4: mentioned that, you know communication issue and you know that

638
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,360
Speaker 4: comes with timing and that comes with a few more practices.

639
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of young quarterbacks that aren't making

640
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:33,479
Speaker 4: that throw right. There's a lot of a lot of

641
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 4: the instincts and everything that you know, the mind doesn't

642
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:38,840
Speaker 4: go from you. It's just a matter of can you

643
00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:40,920
Speaker 4: get the body to do it a few times and

644
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:43,960
Speaker 4: with some more reps to your point, an opportunity against

645
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:46,360
Speaker 4: the forty nine ers. But you know that in our

646
00:32:46,480 --> 00:32:49,120
Speaker 4: in our business, like I known, if it bleeds, it

647
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:53,720
Speaker 4: leads in negativity cells. But this was outside of you know,

648
00:32:53,760 --> 00:32:56,960
Speaker 4: if you're a Seahawks fan, this this is this was

649
00:32:57,000 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 4: great for the league and positivity. I had people that

650
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 4: haven't watched football in years that were like, I gotta

651
00:33:03,360 --> 00:33:03,719
Speaker 4: see this.

652
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,640
Speaker 3: It made me ugly. I may I don't know.

653
00:33:07,240 --> 00:33:09,200
Speaker 4: I even put up the graphic, which do we see

654
00:33:09,200 --> 00:33:12,600
Speaker 4: more Duke stop this fight or the kids yell and

655
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:15,320
Speaker 4: stop stop. He's already dead from the Simpsons. Instead, we

656
00:33:15,360 --> 00:33:17,320
Speaker 4: got none of that, and we actually had him in

657
00:33:17,360 --> 00:33:18,920
Speaker 4: a position where he could have won a game.

658
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:24,080
Speaker 3: So look, it's Christmas time for crying out loud. It's

659
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 3: what a Hallmark story's all about.

660
00:33:26,440 --> 00:33:29,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, almost at fairy Tale ending, it's just a little

661
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:33,640
Speaker 1: bit too much time left on the clock. It's kind

662
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: of our look at Week fifteen. There'll be more Philip

663
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:38,720
Speaker 1: Rivers conversation as well, coming up later on in the week.

664
00:33:38,760 --> 00:33:40,520
Speaker 1: At the end of the week, Michael Levs rankings, and

665
00:33:40,520 --> 00:33:42,880
Speaker 1: of course we have our midweek episode. But coming up

666
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,160
Speaker 1: next it's report card time. How do we do? And

667
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:49,000
Speaker 1: plus if you are in the playoffs and still alive, congratulations.

668
00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:50,760
Speaker 1: Who are the guys you need to pick up for

669
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:53,120
Speaker 1: week sixteen? We'll tell you next tier on. I want

670
00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:57,760
Speaker 1: your flex all right, Mike Scott is waiver Wire. We'll

671
00:33:57,760 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: get to that at the end, but it's report card time.

672
00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:01,920
Speaker 1: Start with Ian how would we do that? Mike? Our

673
00:34:01,960 --> 00:34:04,920
Speaker 1: executive producer, Ian Roddy at Ian Roddy underscore, how did

674
00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:07,160
Speaker 1: the streaming defense has worked? For Week fifteen?

675
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:11,600
Speaker 5: A mixed bag this week, guys, I guess let's start

676
00:34:11,600 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 5: with the worst The worst of the three was the

677
00:34:13,760 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 5: Niners San Francisco forty nine ers defense zero fantasy points,

678
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:19,520
Speaker 5: so was straight up goose egg for you. I'm glad

679
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:21,720
Speaker 5: they didn't lose you any points, but they allowed twenty

680
00:34:21,719 --> 00:34:25,040
Speaker 5: four points on the day, zero sacks and zero turnovers

681
00:34:25,040 --> 00:34:25,720
Speaker 5: on cam Ward.

682
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,680
Speaker 1: So who would have thunk it? I Tony Pollard over

683
00:34:28,719 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 1: one hundreds like co would have like, what are we doing?

684
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 5: Yeah, just a real you know. Credits to the Titans though,

685
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,200
Speaker 5: and credit to cam Ward because I did. I did

686
00:34:37,400 --> 00:34:41,160
Speaker 5: preface the Niners defense there by saying that cam Ward,

687
00:34:41,200 --> 00:34:43,320
Speaker 5: I do think there's talent there and he's been improving

688
00:34:43,320 --> 00:34:45,200
Speaker 5: steadily over the year. I didn't think it was going

689
00:34:45,280 --> 00:34:46,839
Speaker 5: to be, you know, one of his first games where

690
00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 5: he literally just didn't have a turnover or have a

691
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:52,480
Speaker 5: sack at all, but credit to him. Next, the Dallas

692
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:55,280
Speaker 5: Cowboys only got you one fantasy point on the week,

693
00:34:55,400 --> 00:34:58,920
Speaker 5: so another just just negative out in there. They allowed

694
00:34:59,040 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 5: thirty four points on the day, but they did salvage

695
00:35:01,480 --> 00:35:03,440
Speaker 5: you with an interception, so if not for that, it

696
00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:06,720
Speaker 5: would have been negative against JJ McCarthy and the Vikings

697
00:35:06,719 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 5: there just again did not see that performance coming from

698
00:35:09,960 --> 00:35:12,960
Speaker 5: their opponent, but hey, credit to the Vikings, credit to

699
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:16,439
Speaker 5: JJ McCarthy. But the best one was the Bears by far.

700
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:19,160
Speaker 5: They got you eighteen fantasy points if you'd listen to

701
00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:21,600
Speaker 5: me on that one. Only allowed three points on the

702
00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:24,280
Speaker 5: day to shade her Sanders. They picked them off three times,

703
00:35:24,360 --> 00:35:27,960
Speaker 5: sacked them five times. So just a real dominant outing

704
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:31,520
Speaker 5: for the Chicago Chicago Bears defense. And then, if you remember,

705
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,680
Speaker 5: I did suggest one more if it was out there,

706
00:35:33,719 --> 00:35:36,720
Speaker 5: the Jaguars defense playing against the Jets. They also picked

707
00:35:36,719 --> 00:35:39,879
Speaker 5: off Brady Cook, the undrafted rookie, three times. I think

708
00:35:39,920 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 5: they finished with eleven Fantasy points on the day. So again,

709
00:35:42,960 --> 00:35:44,560
Speaker 5: probably wouldn't have been out there in your league, but

710
00:35:44,600 --> 00:35:46,160
Speaker 5: if you did manage to scoop them up, they got

711
00:35:46,239 --> 00:35:47,280
Speaker 5: you a solid outing.

712
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: Yeah. I ended up working out forty on that end.

713
00:35:50,760 --> 00:35:53,520
Speaker 1: And yeah, sometimes the forty nine ers one is shocking,

714
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:56,000
Speaker 1: Like I know that the personnel isn't there, but maybe

715
00:35:56,040 --> 00:35:59,400
Speaker 1: the Titans are just getting better or maybe making you

716
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:02,600
Speaker 1: know how growth. We'll find out this. Mike alluded to

717
00:36:02,600 --> 00:36:05,200
Speaker 1: their matchup with the Chiefs coming up in week sixteen.

718
00:36:05,239 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: All right, my report card, don't worry Ian, it couldn't

719
00:36:08,080 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: get worse than my points of Palooza. I gave you

720
00:36:10,360 --> 00:36:14,439
Speaker 1: Ravens Bengals, and the Bengals were skunked, so twenty four

721
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: points total. Nobody got in the end zone obviously for Cincinnati.

722
00:36:18,280 --> 00:36:22,040
Speaker 1: So that was an awful pick, especially considering the amount

723
00:36:22,040 --> 00:36:24,600
Speaker 1: of points we saw in other games. You mentioned Jacksonville.

724
00:36:24,840 --> 00:36:26,840
Speaker 1: They put up forty eight in that record ceter. We

725
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:29,239
Speaker 1: know what happened with the Bills and Patriots in their

726
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,640
Speaker 1: contest Hecta, Texans put up forty in that game. Like

727
00:36:33,719 --> 00:36:37,400
Speaker 1: it was just points everywhere except in the Points of Palooza.

728
00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,440
Speaker 1: The good news is I did hit on these survivors,

729
00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,040
Speaker 1: nothing out of the ordinary. It was a forty nine

730
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:44,960
Speaker 1: ers in Bears pick. But the reason I thought that

731
00:36:45,040 --> 00:36:48,840
Speaker 1: those teams were available were because maybe people weren't believing

732
00:36:48,840 --> 00:36:51,840
Speaker 1: in the Bears during their mid season streak, and maybe

733
00:36:51,840 --> 00:36:54,480
Speaker 1: it wasn't just a streak. Maybe it's just they're that good.

734
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:56,960
Speaker 1: We'll find out over these next couple of weeks. But

735
00:36:57,280 --> 00:36:59,360
Speaker 1: the Bears beating the Browns and the Niners beating the

736
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 1: Titans were easy picks, but at least they were w's

737
00:37:02,920 --> 00:37:04,920
Speaker 1: and better than my points of Palooza. Mike, how did

738
00:37:04,920 --> 00:37:06,040
Speaker 1: you fare in your report card?

739
00:37:06,040 --> 00:37:06,719
Speaker 3: All right, let's go.

740
00:37:06,840 --> 00:37:09,959
Speaker 4: We talked about already number two on the quarterback list

741
00:37:10,000 --> 00:37:14,240
Speaker 4: with Joe Burrow. He finished twenty seventh. How he was lower?

742
00:37:14,320 --> 00:37:16,000
Speaker 3: I don't know the.

743
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,880
Speaker 4: Other five for the quarterback position, they all finished thirteenth

744
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,880
Speaker 4: or better. Josh Allen I had him third, He finished

745
00:37:21,920 --> 00:37:26,520
Speaker 4: sixth with hot plays, Trevor Lawrence far and away obviously.

746
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:29,879
Speaker 3: CJ. Stroud was eighth. Very good.

747
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,960
Speaker 4: Sam Darnold killed me at twenty six. Sorry sorry, Dan,

748
00:37:34,160 --> 00:37:35,960
Speaker 4: I must have jinxed him.

749
00:37:37,360 --> 00:37:38,520
Speaker 1: Just do it this week, that's all.

750
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:39,520
Speaker 3: I'll do it again.

751
00:37:40,200 --> 00:37:43,759
Speaker 4: Brissette twelfth, which cool bo Nicks was a cold sore

752
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:48,080
Speaker 4: so he killed me. Mahomes cold sore and Dak twenty

753
00:37:48,080 --> 00:37:51,799
Speaker 4: two and twenty three respectively, So all good there. And

754
00:37:51,880 --> 00:37:55,319
Speaker 4: JJ McCarthy was a ninja, so victory's there.

755
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:55,759
Speaker 1: Two.

756
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:57,640
Speaker 4: I ended up with a decent fantasy night when it

757
00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,640
Speaker 4: was all said and done, so he was on the

758
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,640
Speaker 4: ninja list even if it was ugly. And I don't

759
00:38:02,680 --> 00:38:04,120
Speaker 4: know if you guys knew this, the over under was

760
00:38:04,160 --> 00:38:08,760
Speaker 4: forty two and a half. And yeah, so that second

761
00:38:08,800 --> 00:38:11,840
Speaker 4: touchdown to Waller where suddenly they were playing with some

762
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,520
Speaker 4: urgency actually had consequence.

763
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:16,239
Speaker 3: Running forty three, didn't it? Yeah?

764
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:19,440
Speaker 5: And then at forty three exactly, wow, yeah, crazy.

765
00:38:19,440 --> 00:38:23,360
Speaker 1: Well, Troy Aikman was stunned by it. He could not

766
00:38:23,480 --> 00:38:26,040
Speaker 1: stop talking about it. He goes, why, he goes, this

767
00:38:26,120 --> 00:38:28,480
Speaker 1: is one of the most puzzling endings I've ever seen

768
00:38:28,719 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: in the NFL, because this team was huddling up, taking

769
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,880
Speaker 1: forever on the play clock. Now they're calling timeouts and

770
00:38:35,920 --> 00:38:38,040
Speaker 1: trying to run a hurry up defense, their hurry up

771
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:42,359
Speaker 1: offense when there's two minutes left. He called it out

772
00:38:42,480 --> 00:38:44,800
Speaker 1: for how strange it was from the Dolphins.

773
00:38:44,920 --> 00:38:46,920
Speaker 4: Yeah. And then Mike McDaniel got in front of the

774
00:38:46,920 --> 00:38:49,040
Speaker 4: podium and we've talked about our love of that guy.

775
00:38:49,920 --> 00:38:51,680
Speaker 4: There were a couple of answers that have now been

776
00:38:51,760 --> 00:38:54,640
Speaker 4: clipped off on the Internet that will live forever because

777
00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:57,600
Speaker 4: I don't I defy you to figure out what the

778
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:00,520
Speaker 4: hell he's actually trying to tell you as he's answering

779
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 4: questions about down distance, et cetera. All right, going to

780
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:07,680
Speaker 4: the running back position real quick. McCaffrey finished as an

781
00:39:07,760 --> 00:39:10,920
Speaker 4: RB one. Eh Chan was non existent for much of

782
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:14,480
Speaker 4: the game. Gibbs finished thirty first who referenced it in

783
00:39:14,520 --> 00:39:17,359
Speaker 4: the first segment of the on again, Off again, so

784
00:39:18,040 --> 00:39:20,960
Speaker 4: that screwge a Etn finished second, so we'll take that,

785
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:23,800
Speaker 4: and then Derrek Henry had one hundred yards. Problem is

786
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:26,399
Speaker 4: he didn't do anything else, so you got your ten

787
00:39:26,440 --> 00:39:28,239
Speaker 4: points and that's it. So if it gives him a

788
00:39:28,239 --> 00:39:33,840
Speaker 4: twenty fifth place finish. Hot Plays Barkley hits, Chase Brown, middling,

789
00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,719
Speaker 4: Rodriguez ended up being a late scratch, and then the

790
00:39:37,760 --> 00:39:41,080
Speaker 4: Cold soars Well, James Cook maybe look like an idiot, thanks,

791
00:39:41,080 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 4: Buddy Taylor was nineteenth, bris All forty fourth, so wins there.

792
00:39:46,239 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 4: Woody Marx were still waiting to make sure he gets

793
00:39:48,560 --> 00:39:53,120
Speaker 4: his six points off of the designed tri curation.

794
00:39:53,560 --> 00:39:55,920
Speaker 1: Mike did finally show we're going to tie it into

795
00:39:55,920 --> 00:39:59,319
Speaker 1: it on our next episode later in the week, but

796
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,680
Speaker 1: there was controversy and it did ultimately end up cashing.

797
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:07,480
Speaker 4: In Boom okay. Tracey finished his top five. He was

798
00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:09,799
Speaker 4: on the Ninja list, and then Judkins didn't show up.

799
00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,800
Speaker 4: Wide Receivers Real Quick. Four of the top five finished

800
00:40:13,840 --> 00:40:16,960
Speaker 4: top seven, including i'man Ross Saint Brown as the number one.

801
00:40:17,960 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 4: The Hot plays failed me miserably, except for Jameson Williams,

802
00:40:21,680 --> 00:40:26,200
Speaker 4: who's been fantastic, and then the cold Sores they all sucked,

803
00:40:26,200 --> 00:40:30,320
Speaker 4: So I win there. Mconkey, DeVante Smith, and Stefan Diggs.

804
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,399
Speaker 3: I mean, I love them, but they were terrible this week.

805
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:36,239
Speaker 4: And then all three of the Ninjas were middling at

806
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,680
Speaker 4: best when you talk about Wan Dale, Zay Flowers, and

807
00:40:39,760 --> 00:40:42,960
Speaker 4: Jacoby Myers. So I will take one last victory lap

808
00:40:43,000 --> 00:40:46,759
Speaker 4: because George Pickens was invisible three for three out of

809
00:40:46,800 --> 00:40:48,120
Speaker 4: six for thirty three yards.

810
00:40:48,360 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a tough one to watch as well.

811
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:52,640
Speaker 1: For those that have George Pickens, we'll see if he

812
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:55,960
Speaker 1: bounces back. It's been an on and off again Teeter

813
00:40:56,040 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: Totters sometimes with he and Cebee Lamb, but they've got

814
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:02,640
Speaker 1: the Chargers coming to down on Sunday and early kickoff

815
00:41:02,680 --> 00:41:05,480
Speaker 1: as well. I like Dallas at one o'clock eastern, just

816
00:41:05,560 --> 00:41:08,400
Speaker 1: like I liked seeing the Chiefs and Chargers playing a

817
00:41:08,400 --> 00:41:11,120
Speaker 1: big game at Arrowhead that isn't under the lights or

818
00:41:11,200 --> 00:41:14,600
Speaker 1: later on in the day like that sun shines there

819
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:17,200
Speaker 1: like no other place like it truly does. That's when

820
00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:20,640
Speaker 1: when the sun is shining at Arrowhead, for whatever reason,

821
00:41:21,120 --> 00:41:24,680
Speaker 1: it just looks different than everywhere else and it actually

822
00:41:24,760 --> 00:41:27,000
Speaker 1: puts me in a good mood, like it really does.

823
00:41:27,040 --> 00:41:29,239
Speaker 1: And so seeing them play that game, I know the

824
00:41:29,320 --> 00:41:31,400
Speaker 1: Chiefs fans weren't happy with the outcome and obviously with

825
00:41:31,440 --> 00:41:33,640
Speaker 1: the loss of Patrick Mahomes, but they need to play

826
00:41:33,719 --> 00:41:36,799
Speaker 1: more one o'clock Eastern time games because they just play

827
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:40,239
Speaker 1: too many in the primetime spots because they're in their

828
00:41:40,600 --> 00:41:42,880
Speaker 1: in their dynasty or maybe that's coming to an end

829
00:41:42,880 --> 00:41:44,640
Speaker 1: now and we'll see more of it. But I loved

830
00:41:44,640 --> 00:41:45,680
Speaker 1: seeing it in the week fifteen.

831
00:41:45,760 --> 00:41:47,440
Speaker 4: Well in Dallas, what do you think it's worth to

832
00:41:47,480 --> 00:41:50,440
Speaker 4: the over under on receiving totals for guys losing balls

833
00:41:50,480 --> 00:41:50,839
Speaker 4: in light?

834
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,480
Speaker 1: Clocks have changed, you know, so and now it's a one.

835
00:41:57,560 --> 00:41:59,600
Speaker 1: As you said, they were not they're not used to

836
00:41:59,640 --> 00:42:02,400
Speaker 1: this kickoff time necessarily. Yeah, we'll have to see if

837
00:42:02,440 --> 00:42:07,080
Speaker 1: it's coming down and around that time. Nice. The design

838
00:42:07,120 --> 00:42:10,279
Speaker 1: of that stadium still and Jerry refusing to put up

839
00:42:10,280 --> 00:42:14,200
Speaker 1: any curtains or shade just ridiculous using it as an

840
00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:17,439
Speaker 1: advantage like his team can play through it. You're never there,

841
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:20,359
Speaker 1: you're not playing in the stadium or practicing. All right,

842
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:23,080
Speaker 1: that's for another day, Mike, who your waiver wire pickups

843
00:42:23,120 --> 00:42:23,960
Speaker 1: four week sixteen.

844
00:42:24,040 --> 00:42:27,320
Speaker 4: Well, we talk about that Kansas City Tennessee matchup. Tennessee's

845
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:29,520
Speaker 4: playing better, so you know you hang a star on up.

846
00:42:29,520 --> 00:42:31,440
Speaker 4: But Gardner Minshew gets to go back and try to

847
00:42:31,520 --> 00:42:35,719
Speaker 4: charm America one more time. You look at Tennessee still

848
00:42:35,760 --> 00:42:39,160
Speaker 4: giving up twenty one or more fantasy points five six

849
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:41,080
Speaker 4: weeks in a row at this point, so you have

850
00:42:41,120 --> 00:42:41,879
Speaker 4: an opportunity.

851
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:42,680
Speaker 3: Tyler.

852
00:42:42,719 --> 00:42:45,600
Speaker 4: Shuck's been fantastic. He also makes plays with his legs.

853
00:42:46,080 --> 00:42:48,759
Speaker 4: He's got the Jets. They fired their defensive coordinator. Maybe

854
00:42:48,760 --> 00:42:52,120
Speaker 4: they rally around. I don't think so. Ian's just shaking

855
00:42:52,120 --> 00:42:55,719
Speaker 4: his head, no, staring me down Dan as I say that.

856
00:42:55,760 --> 00:42:58,360
Speaker 4: But Shuck's been fantastic. We talked about him a bunch.

857
00:42:59,040 --> 00:43:01,880
Speaker 4: Bryce Young going up against Tampa Bay. We've watched that

858
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:07,400
Speaker 4: secondary struggle Carolina with a huge fail. You know, you

859
00:43:07,480 --> 00:43:09,720
Speaker 4: have the penalty that puts them in field goal positions.

860
00:43:09,719 --> 00:43:12,040
Speaker 4: So New Orleans is able to finish that win, but

861
00:43:12,120 --> 00:43:15,000
Speaker 4: still battling in the South, so a big deal. As

862
00:43:15,040 --> 00:43:18,440
Speaker 4: you said, Sandwich games here six weeks sixteen and eighteen,

863
00:43:18,719 --> 00:43:22,080
Speaker 4: stupid but fun for us as football fans. How about

864
00:43:22,080 --> 00:43:25,959
Speaker 4: Captain Kirk going against Arizona's defense as well, So maybe

865
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:27,040
Speaker 4: a little bit of love there.

866
00:43:27,160 --> 00:43:28,160
Speaker 3: As we look at.

867
00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:33,239
Speaker 4: The quarterbacks wide running backs, real quick estimate, looks like

868
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:35,520
Speaker 4: he might get some run there. In New Orleans, Michael

869
00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:39,399
Speaker 4: Carter is the guy. Our guy Znovan also known as

870
00:43:39,440 --> 00:43:42,799
Speaker 4: Bam Knight left with an injury. Carter's been pretty good

871
00:43:43,160 --> 00:43:45,319
Speaker 4: in that number two spot and when he's had to

872
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:47,960
Speaker 4: step up. Also active in the passing game. So you

873
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:51,040
Speaker 4: get a little bit of love there as well. And

874
00:43:51,080 --> 00:43:54,759
Speaker 4: then Sean Tucker going back to that Tampa game. Even

875
00:43:54,800 --> 00:43:57,480
Speaker 4: as much as we've seen Bucky Irving, we've got Tucker

876
00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:02,960
Speaker 4: with the goal line potential. Do you trust a vulture

877
00:44:03,120 --> 00:44:05,640
Speaker 4: in a playoff scenario? No, but in a dollar league

878
00:44:06,239 --> 00:44:08,960
Speaker 4: I might go down that road. So you look at

879
00:44:09,000 --> 00:44:12,480
Speaker 4: a little bit of love. Wide receivers Matthew Golden with

880
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,279
Speaker 4: the potential that you know Christian Watson's unavailable, might be

881
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:19,840
Speaker 4: worth a look see there. Jaden Reed also still available

882
00:44:19,920 --> 00:44:23,680
Speaker 4: in a lot of leagues. Ad Ni Mitchell, he's active

883
00:44:23,719 --> 00:44:25,880
Speaker 4: and we want we watched with Brady Cook. He's not

884
00:44:25,880 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 4: going to be shy about throwing the ball around. And

885
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:32,080
Speaker 4: we'll we'll presume that they're giving up some points to

886
00:44:32,239 --> 00:44:35,640
Speaker 4: shuck in company, So maybe maybe we get a little

887
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:37,200
Speaker 4: bit of scoring in that one. It's only forty and

888
00:44:37,239 --> 00:44:39,680
Speaker 4: a half. I'll take the over, so a little bit

889
00:44:39,719 --> 00:44:42,880
Speaker 4: of love there, and I think, you know, when we

890
00:44:43,200 --> 00:44:45,080
Speaker 4: get down to the rest of the list, we talk

891
00:44:45,160 --> 00:44:47,120
Speaker 4: about Loveland, we could talk about some of those other

892
00:44:47,160 --> 00:44:49,800
Speaker 4: tight ends like we did with Barner a little bit earlier,

893
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:52,279
Speaker 4: as you're trying to go down and find some love.

894
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:57,120
Speaker 4: Parkinson has been a bigger part of the Rams offense. Now.

895
00:44:57,200 --> 00:44:59,480
Speaker 4: They've done a lot with having three tight ends out

896
00:44:59,480 --> 00:45:03,560
Speaker 4: there as blockers to help that run game get started.

897
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:07,480
Speaker 4: But maybe some opportunity and then Gadsden has been dropped

898
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:10,239
Speaker 4: in a lot of leagues because, you know, production he

899
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:13,279
Speaker 4: had that four week span where he was dominant and

900
00:45:13,320 --> 00:45:16,920
Speaker 4: that's come off, and obviously Herbert's hand is compromised. But

901
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,640
Speaker 4: here's an opportunity against you know, our old friend the

902
00:45:19,680 --> 00:45:20,520
Speaker 4: Dallas defense.

903
00:45:21,160 --> 00:45:24,080
Speaker 1: There they are are waiver wire pickups four week sixteen,

904
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:26,919
Speaker 1: and just to look at ahead and how things lay

905
00:45:26,920 --> 00:45:29,800
Speaker 1: out in week fifteen. In the late window that I

906
00:45:29,880 --> 00:45:32,480
Speaker 1: do with Kerry Rhodes on Fox Sports Radio, we had

907
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:37,400
Speaker 1: Packers Broncos, we had Seahawks going up against Philip Rivers

908
00:45:37,400 --> 00:45:40,040
Speaker 1: and the Colts, and we had that Lions Rams game.

909
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:43,680
Speaker 1: In fact, Kevin Burkhart and Tom Brady are calling Lions

910
00:45:43,760 --> 00:45:49,360
Speaker 1: Rams and Jim Nansen Tony Romo are calling Packers Broncos.

911
00:45:49,360 --> 00:45:53,320
Speaker 1: So very rarely do you have the top teams going

912
00:45:54,080 --> 00:45:56,400
Speaker 1: head to head against each other in that same window.

913
00:45:56,480 --> 00:46:00,120
Speaker 1: But that's what we ended up having on Sunday in

914
00:46:00,200 --> 00:46:06,759
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. Boys at a different different story. My goodness,

915
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:11,000
Speaker 1: Raiders Texans is one twenty five Eastern Pittsburgh Detroit is

916
00:46:11,000 --> 00:46:13,440
Speaker 1: your marquee game. The best game of the window is

917
00:46:13,440 --> 00:46:16,120
Speaker 1: gonna be a one oh five kickoff. That's Jacksonville at Denver.

918
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:20,240
Speaker 1: Then you have the Falcons and Cardinals. Yeah, that's gonna

919
00:46:20,239 --> 00:46:22,720
Speaker 1: be a bit of a rough go. That's why Thursday

920
00:46:22,719 --> 00:46:25,000
Speaker 1: and Saturday are so good for the fantasy week.

921
00:46:25,040 --> 00:46:27,439
Speaker 3: Well, we get to celebrate Jacoby Brissett some more.

922
00:46:27,760 --> 00:46:29,680
Speaker 4: And how many times can they tell you how great

923
00:46:29,680 --> 00:46:34,359
Speaker 4: the Houston defense is and CJ. Stroud Nico Collins Right, well,

924
00:46:34,400 --> 00:46:35,759
Speaker 4: it'll be a love fest for them.

925
00:46:36,040 --> 00:46:38,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, turn off the TV, listen to us. That's that's

926
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: m right. Yes.

927
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:41,440
