Speaker 1: The guys help you make those hard decisions. And now

9
00:00:28,160 --> 00:00:32,600
Speaker 1: let's get your flex ond here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon.

10
00:00:34,479 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 2: Week sixteen on the National Football League season is here.

11
00:00:38,000 --> 00:00:39,040
Speaker 2: One game in the books.

12
00:00:39,479 --> 00:00:41,920
Speaker 4: We got a whole schedule, Mike, spread out over the

13
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 4: next three days or so, Saturday, Sunday and then Christmas Day,

14
00:00:45,880 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 4: the triple header, the stretch run is here. And before

15
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:53,240
Speaker 4: we get to your rankings, what slate do you like best?

16
00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 4: The appetizer, the meal that is Sunday or the dessert

17
00:00:57,200 --> 00:00:59,760
Speaker 4: that we've got with the triple header on Monday.

18
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:03,120
Speaker 5: Well, dessert, because you know, I'm a guy who likes

19
00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,200
Speaker 5: a nice port when I go to a you know,

20
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:08,720
Speaker 5: a rich, rich food and then sure a nice port

21
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,320
Speaker 5: to finish off my meal. And I mean that's Baltimore,

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:14,240
Speaker 5: San Francisco. That's a two hundred and twenty two dollars

23
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:15,119
Speaker 5: gettyon ticket.

24
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:17,680
Speaker 2: Yeah that's nice, right, yeah, right.

25
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:20,319
Speaker 5: And then the Giants and little Tommy DeVito, so you know,

26
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,960
Speaker 5: Fox will have a bunch of vignettes of him against

27
00:01:23,959 --> 00:01:27,840
Speaker 5: Philadelphia and Kansas City. Las Vegas should still have some

28
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 5: fireworks to It doesn't take away from you know, some

29
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:34,280
Speaker 5: of the other matchups we got, I mean, your you're

30
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:38,679
Speaker 5: Seahawks and the Tennessee game with potentially Ryan Tannehill playing

31
00:01:38,800 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 5: gets kind of interesting.

32
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 6: Uh.

33
00:01:40,800 --> 00:01:43,960
Speaker 5: And then you know, unfortunately Saturday, you know, we now

34
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 5: find out not only do you already have the East

35
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 5: no disrespect to Eastern stick, but you know when this

36
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 5: was on the calendar, is Herbert Allen at so far

37
00:01:53,040 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 5: it's like, yeah, let's go, and now you don't have

38
00:01:54,880 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 5: Keenan Allen. Uh, It's it's just a mess.

39
00:01:57,480 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 4: So the commercial f and I just found this out

40
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:05,080
Speaker 4: today that the fourth quarter will be commercial free on

41
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 4: Peacock and that's my version of running clock.

42
00:02:09,680 --> 00:02:10,320
Speaker 3: Sounds about right.

43
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,160
Speaker 4: Give us out of Bill's chargers as fast as you can,

44
00:02:13,520 --> 00:02:16,760
Speaker 4: we're not gonna have any commercials. So yeah, no Keenan

45
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,799
Speaker 4: Allen in that game, and maybe no reason to watch

46
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:19,520
Speaker 4: in the fourth quarter.

47
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:22,480
Speaker 5: What do you think the lower third's gonna look like though,

48
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:26,720
Speaker 5: you know, stream this now on Peacock, scream this coming.

49
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,200
Speaker 5: You know this one premiere's next week. Hey, if you

50
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,520
Speaker 5: miss this movie in the theaters, it's available now. Because

51
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:35,000
Speaker 5: that's one of the things Peacock does pretty well, is

52
00:02:35,040 --> 00:02:37,320
Speaker 5: the all Right, we're we're not quite done with the

53
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 5: theatrical run, but we're down to like one or two

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 5: showings a day. So now it's up on Peacock, so

55
00:02:42,520 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 5: you can stream it now, right, So you have those.

56
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,919
Speaker 5: I have way too many streaming services, as you can tell, Dan,

57
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 5: and I'm slowly but surely figuring out the nuances of them,

58
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,600
Speaker 5: and eventually I have to start charging my children to

59
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 5: watch them.

60
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:56,880
Speaker 4: Well, Ryan Berschinger will be giving us as streaming defenses

61
00:02:56,919 --> 00:02:59,040
Speaker 4: at the end of this podcast. But now it's time

62
00:02:59,080 --> 00:03:02,720
Speaker 4: for Mike Carmen to show Mike Harmon's top five quarterbacks

63
00:03:02,760 --> 00:03:03,680
Speaker 4: of Week sixteen.

64
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 5: You know, I hate the matchups for quarterback like I

65
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:09,480
Speaker 5: love the matchups as a fan, as a fantasy player,

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 5: slash whatever you call this. Analyst will do that because

67
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 5: it's less offensive a term to me than that whole

68
00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:19,400
Speaker 5: expert thing that people product the quarterback position. Stinks for

69
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 5: all your normal stars, but it's the you have to

70
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,320
Speaker 5: play them, So how do we sort them out? Justin

71
00:03:25,320 --> 00:03:29,000
Speaker 5: Field's up against Arizona twenty six passing touchdowns allowed, eighth,

72
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:33,560
Speaker 5: most Fantasy points allowed per game. Everything rolling with DJ Moore.

73
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 5: Expect the run game to get going. Yeah, this was

74
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:39,120
Speaker 5: once upon a time slated as the battle for the

75
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,240
Speaker 5: number one pick. Well that's not that anymore. Josh Allen

76
00:03:42,320 --> 00:03:47,760
Speaker 5: going up against those Chargers sixth most touchdowns allowed over

77
00:03:47,800 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 5: the course of the year twenty three, just seven picks,

78
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 5: and look, that's a team that's finishing. My only fear

79
00:03:53,680 --> 00:03:55,080
Speaker 5: is that he doesn't have to throw the ball a

80
00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:57,000
Speaker 5: bunch because they run the hell out of it. Because

81
00:03:57,040 --> 00:04:00,000
Speaker 5: the Chargers weren't bad even when they were trying Patrick

82
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 5: Homes going up against Las Vegas. This one is one

83
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:07,040
Speaker 5: of those counterintuitive moments because look, the Raiders have been

84
00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:10,080
Speaker 5: pretty good, giving up just fifteen Fantasy points per game.

85
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,280
Speaker 5: But this is one and we'll get into the hot

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 5: plays and somebody who's returning that should help get that

87
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 5: offense flowing as the Chiefs try to get right for

88
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 5: the playoffs. Number four will go with him. Yeah, we'll

89
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,480
Speaker 5: slide Jalen Hurts in against the Giants. You look at

90
00:04:27,560 --> 00:04:30,960
Speaker 5: their passing numbers. They have allowed eighteen touchdowns, but they

91
00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:35,360
Speaker 5: do have thirteen takeaways. This is where the go and vulture,

92
00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:38,719
Speaker 5: the touchdown from Deandres Swift saves you in the fantasy realm.

93
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 5: And then for number five, I'm gonna go with a

94
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 5: little bit of a price shot and look at Jared

95
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:46,320
Speaker 5: Goff against Minnesota what could be the first of three

96
00:04:46,360 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 5: matchups between these squads in the next three weeks. But

97
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:54,279
Speaker 5: looking at an opportunity here for Golf and company to

98
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:57,039
Speaker 5: keep things going, particularly the backfield getting involved in the

99
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:01,000
Speaker 5: passing game. Notice that I leave Dac out one shy

100
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 5: because I wonder if Dallas struggles struggles a little bit,

101
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,640
Speaker 5: or maybe Tony Pollard actually comes to play. I'm not

102
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 5: sure you know. This is one of those curiosities. The

103
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:14,040
Speaker 5: Dolphins just giving up sixteen Fantasy points per game. Normally,

104
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:16,440
Speaker 5: Dak's been the set and forget until last week. He

105
00:05:16,480 --> 00:05:18,800
Speaker 5: was a guy everybody was champion for MVP. Now he

106
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 5: can't even crack my top five.

107
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:20,440
Speaker 3: Dan.

108
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:22,840
Speaker 4: I do like Jalen Hurts at number four. I think

109
00:05:22,880 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 4: that the Eagles will try to take this opportunity to

110
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: get right, especially with the passing game, and I think

111
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 4: you'll see that against the Giants. But that Cowboys Dolphins

112
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,280
Speaker 4: game reminds me of a year or two ago when

113
00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:35,320
Speaker 4: we thought that the Cowboys and Chiefs were gonna have

114
00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:37,880
Speaker 4: this track meet up and down the field and then

115
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,599
Speaker 4: it ends up like thirteen to nine or whatever it was.

116
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,359
Speaker 2: It was quite the stinker. Well that's stuff, Kansas City.

117
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 5: No, that's it, Dan, It's it's the tough one trying

118
00:05:46,040 --> 00:05:47,440
Speaker 5: to read the tea leaves and you look at the

119
00:05:47,440 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 5: over under on that one and it is salty at

120
00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 5: forty nine and a half. But I'm like, did the

121
00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:57,039
Speaker 5: Dolphins just get to work like the Bills did a

122
00:05:57,040 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 5: week ago and just bludging them? Yeah?

123
00:06:00,800 --> 00:06:04,159
Speaker 4: I don't think it's in the Dolphins nature, but you know,

124
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:07,440
Speaker 4: and I think Tyreek Hill will play, yeah, But yeah,

125
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:08,840
Speaker 4: I just I don't think. Yeah, I don't think we're

126
00:06:08,839 --> 00:06:11,600
Speaker 4: gonna see thirty eight to thirty five. I think fantasy.

127
00:06:12,160 --> 00:06:13,440
Speaker 4: I've got a lot of shares and a lot of

128
00:06:13,480 --> 00:06:15,240
Speaker 4: guys in that game, so I wouldn't mind seeing it.

129
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 4: But sure, yeah, I wouldn't wouldn't I wouldn't mind that,

130
00:06:17,920 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, I don't think we're gonna we're gonna see that.

131
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:22,760
Speaker 5: Moderately concerned there myself. Although I did like all the

132
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,880
Speaker 5: footage of McDaniel that get out. I couldn't bleep it

133
00:06:27,360 --> 00:06:29,520
Speaker 5: enough to make it usable for air.

134
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:29,840
Speaker 2: But it was good.

135
00:06:30,040 --> 00:06:32,440
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's good that the Dolphins would be wearing

136
00:06:32,480 --> 00:06:33,200
Speaker 4: their throwbacks.

137
00:06:33,200 --> 00:06:33,839
Speaker 3: So there you go.

138
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, I get a look at the old sharp unis

139
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:38,600
Speaker 4: all right, let's get to the running backs. We'll see

140
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:42,039
Speaker 4: if there's any Moster or Pollard or eight chan of

141
00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:45,480
Speaker 4: these rankings. Mike Harmon's top five running backs for Week sixteen.

142
00:06:45,839 --> 00:06:48,160
Speaker 5: Well, let's dance with who brung us. Over the last

143
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,600
Speaker 5: four weeks, James Cook has been a wizard for fantasy

144
00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:55,680
Speaker 5: owners and picking up a lot of efforts, not only

145
00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,280
Speaker 5: as a runner but also as a receiver. Chargers tied

146
00:06:59,360 --> 00:07:02,640
Speaker 5: for six most allowed fantasy points per game to running

147
00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 5: backs at almost twenty two per And you look at

148
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:10,360
Speaker 5: the way Cook has gone the last four weeks. He's

149
00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,120
Speaker 5: just been incredible and that offense has taken off with him.

150
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 5: And again, Josh Allen fans and fantasy owners can be

151
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:18,880
Speaker 5: a bit salty about it. Take your five catches for

152
00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:21,240
Speaker 5: eighty three yards in the touchdown that he sends to

153
00:07:21,320 --> 00:07:24,239
Speaker 5: cook and to look to build off of that. Rashad

154
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 5: wise one of the great stories of the year. He's

155
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 5: been fantastic a matchup against Jacksonville, or maybe some of

156
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,480
Speaker 5: it doesn't quite work when you look at the fantasy

157
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 5: points allowed for game, but where you're gonna find some

158
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 5: love here, as he's been active in the passing game

159
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 5: the last couple of weeks as well, Jacksonville allowing ninety

160
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 5: four receptions to opposing running backs. How about most going

161
00:07:45,400 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 5: up against Dallas. Yeah, let's dance with who brung us

162
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 5: in terms of touchdowns and piling it up Christian McCaffrey

163
00:07:52,480 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 5: at the four spot that matchup, I have no idea

164
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:56,800
Speaker 5: what like it's one that I want to sit back

165
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 5: and sip my hot drink maybe or maybe a little

166
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,120
Speaker 5: bit of liquor finds the way to the bottom of

167
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,280
Speaker 5: the glass. I don't know, Dan, but for fantasy purposes,

168
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:10,160
Speaker 5: really nervous to see how that one unfolds. Baltimore fifth

169
00:08:10,200 --> 00:08:14,720
Speaker 5: best against running backs, but it's McCaffrey and then number

170
00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,239
Speaker 5: five Chewba Hubbard going up against Green Bay, the ninth

171
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 5: most fantasy points per game yeah, maybe getting a little

172
00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:22,640
Speaker 5: bit cheeky, maybe getting a little bit bold, But you

173
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 5: know what, you know, wasn't that Matt Damon's commercial fortune

174
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:29,480
Speaker 5: favors the Bowl? Didn't they steal that from somewhere? Oh wait,

175
00:08:29,520 --> 00:08:30,480
Speaker 5: that was a crypto ad.

176
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 4: Oh no, maybe maybe the same The same could be

177
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:38,040
Speaker 4: going for Jill Barry because that could be falling flat

178
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:38,640
Speaker 4: out of space.

179
00:08:39,679 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: Yah. Packer fans not happy.

180
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,760
Speaker 4: And who would have thought that a Panther's running back

181
00:08:43,840 --> 00:08:45,480
Speaker 4: is a top play this late in the season.

182
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,200
Speaker 2: But that's what we've got.

183
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 4: And yeah, the Niners Ravens game, Yeah, I do think

184
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,960
Speaker 4: you have to play McCaffrey for sure, and he should

185
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,600
Speaker 4: be a top five I think the Niners are gonna

186
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 4: win this game, and they're gonna do it either in

187
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,120
Speaker 4: a way mic where I think it's either through the

188
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:04,839
Speaker 4: air or on the ground. And I know that sounds

189
00:09:04,920 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 4: really generic. The point is I think one of them

190
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:09,559
Speaker 4: gets shut down. So I don't know if it's the

191
00:09:09,640 --> 00:09:12,400
Speaker 4: running game and you can debout, or if it's just

192
00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:15,679
Speaker 4: McCaffrey and then Purty's the one kept in check. I

193
00:09:15,679 --> 00:09:17,920
Speaker 4: think the Niners win, but I don't think that they

194
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,439
Speaker 4: do it both ways. Against Baltimore.

195
00:09:19,559 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 5: Yeah, it is one of the more curious games. I

196
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 5: did a spot that I've been doing forever in Baltimore

197
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,160
Speaker 5: early on Thursday, and they're asked me about the game.

198
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, I just I'm excited to just sit and

199
00:09:31,280 --> 00:09:31,680
Speaker 3: watch it.

200
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:34,920
Speaker 5: Right, all the debates about the different players, MVPs and

201
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,199
Speaker 5: whatever else, but it's a chess match that I think

202
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:40,600
Speaker 5: it will be a lot of fun to punctuate your

203
00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:44,000
Speaker 5: Joe Barry comments. You know, it's the latest in a

204
00:09:44,040 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 5: long list of twenty twenty three being the year that

205
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 5: were unfiltered at the microphone when Matt Lafleur starts calling

206
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,920
Speaker 5: out the defense, like everybody's just doing it this sure

207
00:09:54,200 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 5: like it used to be that, you know, we need

208
00:09:55,640 --> 00:09:56,719
Speaker 5: to clean some stuff up.

209
00:09:57,160 --> 00:09:59,640
Speaker 3: You know, we're struggling, you know, in this capacity.

210
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:04,080
Speaker 5: Now it's just that guy stinks that's where we're.

211
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:05,840
Speaker 2: At this as well.

212
00:10:05,960 --> 00:10:08,120
Speaker 4: Yeah, kind of a it is a mess on that

213
00:10:08,200 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 4: side of the ball for Green Bay. All right, let's

214
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:12,760
Speaker 4: get to the top five wide receivers for Week sixteen.

215
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 5: Let's go aj Brown going up against Gionets. As you said,

216
00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,800
Speaker 5: a potential for a big outing here in the past game.

217
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:23,520
Speaker 5: Fifth most fantasy points allowed to wide receivers. Maybe they'll

218
00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:26,160
Speaker 5: actually get the catch instead of trying for past interference.

219
00:10:26,360 --> 00:10:28,720
Speaker 3: Sorry too soon, I had to do it.

220
00:10:29,080 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 5: Tyreek Hill back at practice against Dallas. They are one

221
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:35,360
Speaker 5: of the best against wide receivers for fantasy purposes, but

222
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,880
Speaker 5: as we know, scheme them up and yack is always

223
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 5: your friend. Stefan Diggs going up against the Chargers. Let's

224
00:10:42,679 --> 00:10:45,800
Speaker 5: I'm just picking on the Chargers. Yeah, that's okay. They're

225
00:10:45,840 --> 00:10:48,560
Speaker 5: the third worst against opposing wide receivers. Mike Evans going

226
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,000
Speaker 5: up against Jacksonville ninth most fantasy points to wide receivers,

227
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Speaker 5: and a nice spot for Baker Mayfield.

228
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,360
Speaker 3: We'll get to him in a minute. And then fifth

229
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:56,959
Speaker 3: d J.

230
00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:00,480
Speaker 5: Moore going up against the Arizona Cardinals SECT and darry

231
00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 5: wide receiver running back. I feel a little stronger about

232
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 5: than where we're at with the quarterbacks this week. Dan,

233
00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:12,240
Speaker 5: We're it's just great matchups for our eyes, but maybe

234
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 5: not for our point totals.

235
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 4: And those quarterbacks have kind of taken a hit with

236
00:11:17,280 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 4: some of the injuries that we've seen and whatnot. But

237
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,880
Speaker 4: familiar names definitely in the top five. There are some

238
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 4: familiar names that Mike didn't mention, but you're likely to

239
00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: hear them next in his hot plays Cold Source and

240
00:11:28,679 --> 00:11:31,120
Speaker 4: Ninjas hit him up at Swollen Dome. You can find

241
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,040
Speaker 4: me at Dan Byron Fox and our executive producers Ryan Bursinger,

242
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:36,640
Speaker 4: he can find him at Ryan Bershinger. The hot plays,

243
00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 4: Cold Source and Ninjas next here and I want your flex.

244
00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 3: Hey, welcome back.

245
00:11:40,760 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 5: I watch your flex Week sixteen Fantasy Playoffs edition. We

246
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:48,920
Speaker 5: already have our top fives loaded up, Ran Berschinger with

247
00:11:48,960 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 5: me here, our guy Dan Byer. He'll be back a

248
00:11:51,400 --> 00:11:53,440
Speaker 5: little later with his give me one reason and some

249
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:56,400
Speaker 5: thoughts on the rambling that I'm doing here. He's a

250
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 5: little under the weather, battling through. It is that time

251
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,400
Speaker 5: of you or so everybody you know, get that extra

252
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,200
Speaker 5: vitamin C, maybe steal a nap as you can, and

253
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,040
Speaker 5: we roll it through. Ready, bursch Let's let's let's have

254
00:12:09,120 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 5: some fun because we've got some great names that find

255
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:14,319
Speaker 5: their way all right, hot plays, Let's start here. Baker

256
00:12:14,679 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 5: Mayfield tease it a little bit earlier with Mike Evans

257
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,440
Speaker 5: and the wide receiver rankings, but opportunity here against Jacksonville

258
00:12:21,520 --> 00:12:25,719
Speaker 5: third most Fantasy points allowed as we record this podcast,

259
00:12:25,760 --> 00:12:30,680
Speaker 5: you still have Trevor Lawrence in concussion protocol, chaos potentially

260
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:33,400
Speaker 5: is ensuing on the other side, and Tampa still with

261
00:12:33,440 --> 00:12:36,280
Speaker 5: an opportunity to go and claim their division. This one

262
00:12:36,400 --> 00:12:38,760
Speaker 5: one of the matchups of the week for me. Joe

263
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,800
Speaker 5: Blacko going against the Planet Houston. He was on the

264
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,040
Speaker 5: injury report, but he shaved his beard and he looks

265
00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,959
Speaker 5: resplendent and ready to go at Houston tenth most fantasy

266
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,800
Speaker 5: points allowed for them. Look, he's gonna give the ball away.

267
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:55,040
Speaker 5: We've seen that multiple times these last couple of weeks,

268
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:57,360
Speaker 5: but especially against that game against the Bears. Can I

269
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 5: go on a nine minute rant about the Bears giving

270
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,200
Speaker 5: up another four quarterly? Oh no, that's for another podcast.

271
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:06,240
Speaker 5: We'll stick to the fantasy here. Amari Cooper being involved

272
00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:08,880
Speaker 5: is very good for business about Breece Hall. You want

273
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,559
Speaker 5: to go see this guy carry to a fantasy playoff victory.

274
00:13:11,679 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 5: Tickets as low as eleven dollars bursch at MetLife Stadium

275
00:13:15,360 --> 00:13:18,440
Speaker 5: as the Commanders come to town. Six months fantasy points

276
00:13:18,640 --> 00:13:20,880
Speaker 5: per game allowed. It also looks like it's going to

277
00:13:20,920 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 5: be a Trevor Simeon. So if I could have gotten

278
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,599
Speaker 5: out to the East Coast while I will I'll be

279
00:13:24,640 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 5: down in Florida. But you know, if I could have

280
00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 5: gone up to New York to see my beloved Northwestern

281
00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,760
Speaker 5: alum getting after it, I would have all right, two

282
00:13:32,800 --> 00:13:35,040
Speaker 5: guys from Kansas City make the list. But Checko coming

283
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:38,640
Speaker 5: back against Las Vegas. We saw his work share before

284
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:41,360
Speaker 5: the injury. He'll come right back into it. And then

285
00:13:41,360 --> 00:13:44,120
Speaker 5: obviously Rashi Rice. We've talked about him a lot over

286
00:13:44,160 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 5: the course of the year, three top twelve Fantasy performances,

287
00:13:47,840 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 5: including two top seven efforts in his last four games.

288
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:55,080
Speaker 5: DK Metcalf going up against Tannessee seventh most generous to

289
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 5: opposing wide receivers, and let's face it, at this point,

290
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:02,760
Speaker 5: us to either guy throwing the ball, whether it's Gino

291
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 5: or more of the Drew Locke experience. And then finally

292
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:07,679
Speaker 5: we got Isaiah Likely.

293
00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 2: That's right.

294
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 5: We throw a tight end here, opportunity here as we

295
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:17,719
Speaker 5: we have the big matchup going up against San Francisco,

296
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,640
Speaker 5: and I'm trying to find you know, we're trying to

297
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 5: find the diamonds in the rough guys that are emerging.

298
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:25,440
Speaker 5: And when we look at Lamar Jackson, we do all

299
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 5: the arguments over MVPs, et cetera. Keep trying to find

300
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 5: that guy, and Jay Flowers at times has been Isaiah

301
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,080
Speaker 5: Likely is going to be a very key cog in

302
00:14:35,120 --> 00:14:37,760
Speaker 5: that big Week sixteen finale.

303
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:38,440
Speaker 3: Yeah.

304
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 7: I do think Likely is a great play, especially we've

305
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 7: seen him be featured in that offense and Lamar is

306
00:14:44,360 --> 00:14:46,640
Speaker 7: looking for him every game since he's stepped in for

307
00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:50,640
Speaker 7: Mark Andrews. Likely has been a startable tight end in Fantasy,

308
00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,040
Speaker 7: and I would expect that to continue. And it's just

309
00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 7: so wild. You know, Dan brought up Joe Flacco in

310
00:14:55,680 --> 00:14:59,160
Speaker 7: the last episode and it is just amazing to look at.

311
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 7: You're in the face Fantasy postseason and you're like, well,

312
00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,440
Speaker 7: Joe Flacco is a pretty good play, Like, like.

313
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:06,760
Speaker 3: No, that's where we're at.

314
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,400
Speaker 2: It's incredible.

315
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:09,440
Speaker 3: It's incredible.

316
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 7: In my in my Dynasty Superflex, I have, I have Tua,

317
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,600
Speaker 7: I have Joe Flacco and Jake Browning. This is a

318
00:15:16,600 --> 00:15:18,400
Speaker 7: team that's eleven and three. By the way, I'm in

319
00:15:18,440 --> 00:15:21,080
Speaker 7: the semi finals in the playoffs, and I'm sitting here going, well,

320
00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:25,360
Speaker 7: I'm gonna start Joe Flacco. Do I start Jake Browning

321
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:30,160
Speaker 7: over Tua? Because of the fact that I don't love.

322
00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 6: Tua's matchup, and it's like, wow, this is the sort

323
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,960
Speaker 6: of decision I'm I'm mulling over where Joe Flacco is

324
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,240
Speaker 6: the one that I've locked into the roster. Yeah, that's uh,

325
00:15:40,560 --> 00:15:43,920
Speaker 6: it's amazing and and it's good on Joe Flacco and

326
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 6: good on members of the Cleveland Browns where you've actually

327
00:15:47,200 --> 00:15:50,600
Speaker 6: seen you're able to upgrade parts of that Cleveland Brown's

328
00:15:50,640 --> 00:15:54,280
Speaker 6: offense because of the way that they're utilizing Joe Flacco.

329
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:55,160
Speaker 7: It's pretty impressive.

330
00:15:55,240 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 5: Elijah Moore and some of these other guys make it,

331
00:15:57,920 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 5: make it a bit of an impact here.

332
00:15:59,480 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's really in strange.

333
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:06,200
Speaker 5: We talk about strange bedfellows. That's the term I use

334
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:09,040
Speaker 5: right as you know that or you know when we

335
00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,400
Speaker 5: talk about you know, there's no atheist in a foxhole

336
00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:15,840
Speaker 5: or whatever term, you know whatever. You're you're going into

337
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,720
Speaker 5: a situation where it's like all right, you're looking around,

338
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:20,800
Speaker 5: It's like, all right, normally we would not be in

339
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 5: here together, but here we are, and Joe Flacco is

340
00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 5: one of those guys here that we look at and

341
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:32,360
Speaker 5: obviously in Djoku has been fantastic with him as well,

342
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,680
Speaker 5: so you put him on the radar tight end position.

343
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:37,120
Speaker 5: Being the mess that it has been over the course

344
00:16:37,160 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 5: of the year. Burst so certainly looking for opportunities. But yeah,

345
00:16:41,080 --> 00:16:43,680
Speaker 5: Joe Flacco and the two a thing I just I

346
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 5: don't know, yeh like like as as we talked about

347
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:50,880
Speaker 5: in the first segment with Dan, it's the question of

348
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 5: all right, is that in their nature to go and

349
00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,800
Speaker 5: just say, hey, we're gonna run the ball forty times

350
00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,520
Speaker 5: right right? And maybe it is and may or maybe

351
00:16:58,600 --> 00:17:01,640
Speaker 5: Dallas actually uh went to the wizard and found a

352
00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:05,240
Speaker 5: heart after getting run over by Buffalo. We shall see,

353
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,520
Speaker 5: all right, coming up also the Cold Stars, Dan, let's

354
00:17:08,680 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 5: shift there.

355
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:11,040
Speaker 3: Jordan Love going up against Carolina.

356
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:12,840
Speaker 5: He's a guy that has found his way in the

357
00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:16,399
Speaker 5: back end of some rosters. Again the number of injuries

358
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:19,560
Speaker 5: and certainly and that little bit of a surge. But Carolina,

359
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 5: it's weird talking about the Panthers a bunch. They're actually

360
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 5: best against quarterbacks for fantasy purposes, which is funny. Lamar

361
00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:30,120
Speaker 5: and Purty. Look, you're gonna play him, but obviously this

362
00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:32,159
Speaker 5: is a week where you're just going, I don't know

363
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,240
Speaker 5: what to expect, And so that's where we go to

364
00:17:35,600 --> 00:17:38,359
Speaker 5: Russell Wilson against New England. For all the jokes about

365
00:17:38,400 --> 00:17:42,960
Speaker 5: the Patriots, there's six best against opposing quarterbacks. That defense

366
00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:45,439
Speaker 5: is still for real. The over under on that one

367
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 5: sitting at thirty four. Saquon Barclay against Philly. Maybe he's

368
00:17:51,359 --> 00:17:55,919
Speaker 5: targeted in the past game from Tommy DeVito. Otherwise, you

369
00:17:55,960 --> 00:17:59,920
Speaker 5: know Philly's aptitude against the run traves etn is much

370
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,920
Speaker 5: that I like that game. Tampa eighth best of running backs.

371
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 5: This is again where it's got to be a little

372
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 5: bit of the safety valve, where maybe you pile up

373
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 5: a couple of receptions for him. Kyler Murray against Chicago.

374
00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,360
Speaker 5: They've been piling up sax and turnovers here of late

375
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 5: Austin Eckler against Buffalo. Did I need to tell you

376
00:18:16,280 --> 00:18:19,480
Speaker 5: not to start him? I guess he would be eighteen

377
00:18:19,560 --> 00:18:22,959
Speaker 5: through twenty four just based out of touch count. But

378
00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:25,200
Speaker 5: do I have any expectations at this point?

379
00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:26,040
Speaker 3: Zero?

380
00:18:26,640 --> 00:18:29,120
Speaker 5: We got Brandon Cooks who disappears on the road home

381
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:33,959
Speaker 5: road splits are absolutely amazing and incredible. Maybe a study

382
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,399
Speaker 5: to be formed there. And then Terry McLaurin. You know,

383
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,800
Speaker 5: I benched him last week and it could have cost

384
00:18:38,920 --> 00:18:43,480
Speaker 5: me a game. Fortunately, the combination of my bad roster decisions.

385
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,680
Speaker 5: Even if I started all the proper plays, I still

386
00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:49,240
Speaker 5: would have lost. So good, But here's a matchup against

387
00:18:49,240 --> 00:18:52,960
Speaker 5: the Jets where you're looking, even with the Jacoby Brissett

388
00:18:53,359 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 5: magic that they found a little bit late, you know,

389
00:18:55,840 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 5: kind of like the frosted snowman with a hat. Is

390
00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:01,240
Speaker 5: the idea that you know he's going up and maybe

391
00:19:01,240 --> 00:19:04,240
Speaker 5: he gets a little bit more Sauce Gardner, maybe you

392
00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,800
Speaker 5: look at Curtis Samuel a little bit more.

393
00:19:06,960 --> 00:19:09,239
Speaker 3: But I just can't back it right.

394
00:19:09,320 --> 00:19:12,320
Speaker 5: He becomes a back end too, but depending on my

395
00:19:12,440 --> 00:19:15,159
Speaker 5: roster decisions, he easily could find his way back to

396
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:15,560
Speaker 5: the bench.

397
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:18,960
Speaker 7: It is uh And I think we had mentioned this

398
00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:24,399
Speaker 7: last week, the fact that Austin Eckler is just so unstartable.

399
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:25,439
Speaker 3: It hurts.

400
00:19:25,480 --> 00:19:27,760
Speaker 7: It's awful, it's it's really bad.

401
00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:30,719
Speaker 5: I mean, we sent up the warning flares before the season,

402
00:19:30,760 --> 00:19:33,240
Speaker 5: so I don't feel I don't feel bad. You know,

403
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,879
Speaker 5: if people listen to what you and Dan and I

404
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,720
Speaker 5: had been talking about, I don't think people pushed in

405
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 5: for the shares.

406
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:43,000
Speaker 3: But man, this has been absurd.

407
00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:45,320
Speaker 7: I know, and I was thinking about it today too.

408
00:19:45,359 --> 00:19:47,800
Speaker 7: With the with the Keenan Allen news that he's gonna

409
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:53,240
Speaker 7: be out again, just like people who because I have

410
00:19:53,359 --> 00:19:56,600
Speaker 7: Keenan Allen, but in guillotine where you know, being dead,

411
00:19:56,600 --> 00:19:59,359
Speaker 7: we're still alive at this point, it's I can you

412
00:19:59,560 --> 00:20:02,040
Speaker 7: can wrote, yeah, I got a lot of other receivers

413
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 7: I can go to. But in standard like ten twelve

414
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:08,720
Speaker 7: team leagues, Keenan Allen like carried your team this year.

415
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 7: Oh yeah, and you probably got to the playoffs and

416
00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 7: have done pretty well. And if you got through the

417
00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:17,560
Speaker 7: first week of the playoffs without Keenan Allen, you now

418
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,159
Speaker 7: have to try to do it again. It's it is,

419
00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:25,040
Speaker 7: it's it's the most painful season a fantasy player could have,

420
00:20:25,200 --> 00:20:28,040
Speaker 7: right where you're like, you struck gold with Keenan Allen

421
00:20:28,080 --> 00:20:30,240
Speaker 7: and he carried there were there were multiple weeks this

422
00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:32,879
Speaker 7: season that he single handedly won it for you. And

423
00:20:32,920 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 7: now you get to the playoffs and even if you

424
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 7: even if he was healthy, you've got Easton Stick throwing

425
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:42,199
Speaker 7: him the ball. So like it's it's just it's just

426
00:20:42,240 --> 00:20:44,840
Speaker 7: so painful for people who have chargers right now.

427
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:48,880
Speaker 5: Yeah, Keenan Allen number three in PPR leagues, even after

428
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 5: missing last week, he had six games of at least

429
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 5: twenty points. Conversely, Austin Eckler is RB twenty five. Finally

430
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 5: we get to our nin just for the week. Yeah,

431
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:04,399
Speaker 5: we're going a little deeper on the playlist. Maybe some

432
00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:08,560
Speaker 5: daily fantasy nuggets to be had, but we got Nick

433
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,720
Speaker 5: Mallins going up against Detroit tied for the fifth most

434
00:21:11,720 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 5: fantasy points allowed to quarterbacks. Justin Jefferson's back. Jordan Addison,

435
00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,320
Speaker 5: a guy that's on our list. Yeah, that's right, we've

436
00:21:18,320 --> 00:21:21,560
Speaker 5: had him. He's given us some highs and lows from

437
00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760
Speaker 5: our crew and for our extended family here in the

438
00:21:24,800 --> 00:21:28,040
Speaker 5: fantasy realm burst throughout the year. How about Garner Minshew

439
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,200
Speaker 5: going up against Tampa Bay. He gets Michael Pittman and

440
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:36,720
Speaker 5: Jonathan Taylor back. Well, let's go, let's finish it all right,

441
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,800
Speaker 5: so he can't do the same thing he did the

442
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,199
Speaker 5: other day to Pittman. But good news that he's trending

443
00:21:42,240 --> 00:21:44,879
Speaker 5: to play. Derrick Henry. I really had a lot of

444
00:21:44,920 --> 00:21:46,720
Speaker 5: issues of whether to put him on this list or not,

445
00:21:46,920 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 5: because obviously the Seahawks bottoms what seven in terms of

446
00:21:52,000 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 5: fantasy points allowed per game to running backs? Right, They've

447
00:21:56,119 --> 00:22:01,159
Speaker 5: been terrible against teams that commit to the run is

448
00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:05,600
Speaker 5: it spears time. That's the only thing that leaves me reticent.

449
00:22:05,600 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 5: But for Ninja purposes, Derrick Henry a guy maybe one

450
00:22:08,680 --> 00:22:09,160
Speaker 5: last run.

451
00:22:09,280 --> 00:22:10,280
Speaker 3: B Jon Robinson.

452
00:22:11,200 --> 00:22:13,480
Speaker 5: It's as much as it pains me, I've got to

453
00:22:13,480 --> 00:22:15,879
Speaker 5: put him on the list fourth most Fantasy points allowed

454
00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:18,960
Speaker 5: per game to running backs. If there was ever a hey,

455
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 5: we've saved.

456
00:22:19,600 --> 00:22:20,720
Speaker 3: Him for good time.

457
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 5: The joke I've made with the way my mom used

458
00:22:23,600 --> 00:22:25,919
Speaker 5: to take gifts from us at the holiday season and

459
00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,359
Speaker 5: put him in the back of a closet, it is now.

460
00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 5: We look at one of the Saturday matchups Cincinnati and Pittsburgh,

461
00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:35,000
Speaker 5: it's a Chase no Jamar Chase available. But Chase Brown

462
00:22:35,080 --> 00:22:38,640
Speaker 5: is a guy they've been using about ten touches per

463
00:22:38,720 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 5: game over the last three weeks. Joe Mixon back involved.

464
00:22:42,520 --> 00:22:45,520
Speaker 5: Obviously everybody's excited about t Higgins, Jake Brown and we

465
00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:49,160
Speaker 5: can get all excited there, but you know, for rosters

466
00:22:49,160 --> 00:22:51,080
Speaker 5: that have been depleted by injury or maybe you just

467
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 5: don't trust your backup running backs, right, you're number two,

468
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:57,240
Speaker 5: number three, here's a guy with the touch count and

469
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,159
Speaker 5: production has been there. I met Addison a little bit before.

470
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:06,280
Speaker 5: So you know, we we've got some again strange bedfellows

471
00:23:06,280 --> 00:23:08,840
Speaker 5: here Bursch as we dig a little bit deeper, trying

472
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:13,200
Speaker 5: to find the diamonds in the rough for the fantasy purposes.

473
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,560
Speaker 5: And normally we love to do that in week eight.

474
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 5: Not so much when it's the fantasy playoffs on the line, right,

475
00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:23,320
Speaker 5: don Tavian Wicks a guy that maybe you rise up.

476
00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 5: I know I had love on the cold Soares, but

477
00:23:25,840 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 5: still gonna put up two hundred yards right, Someone's got

478
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:28,760
Speaker 5: to catch.

479
00:23:28,600 --> 00:23:33,879
Speaker 7: It right, right exactly because it looks like what no,

480
00:23:34,680 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 7: Christian Watson hasn't been practicing right, But.

481
00:23:38,359 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 5: Yeah, they're all banged up, right, I mean their entire

482
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:45,040
Speaker 5: receiving corps has at least missed part of a practice

483
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 5: every day this week. So opportunity knocks and maybe someone

484
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 5: can kick in the door. I guess last last wide

485
00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 5: receiver to throw out there. And as much as we

486
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 5: crushed the rest of the squad again, somebody's gonna catch

487
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:00,639
Speaker 5: a pass from easton stick. So you go to Quentin

488
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 5: Johnston route or we look over at Joshua Palmer. I

489
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:07,680
Speaker 5: would probably side with Johnston, you know, as you say,

490
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,840
Speaker 5: seem to gain some confidence and Palmer's we hung the

491
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:14,280
Speaker 5: Star on broken coverage, accounting for most of his production.

492
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,199
Speaker 5: Can't you know, might get to see that again. But

493
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 5: I'll lean Johnston if we're desperate to get somebody into

494
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:22,400
Speaker 5: that Saturday night matchup.

495
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:26,800
Speaker 7: Yeah, you kind of wonder that, you know, with no

496
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:30,240
Speaker 7: No More, No More, Brandon Saley, Tom Ti let's go out.

497
00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:34,119
Speaker 7: You wonder if if like maybe the people running the

498
00:24:34,200 --> 00:24:36,679
Speaker 7: Chargers offense right now is like, all right, let's just

499
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 7: let's just make sure that maybe we have something with

500
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:41,440
Speaker 7: Quinn Johnson.

501
00:24:41,400 --> 00:24:43,560
Speaker 5: The audition, right, throw it up, let him go make

502
00:24:43,600 --> 00:24:45,400
Speaker 5: plays in different opportunities.

503
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 7: Yeah, because he got that touchdown. I believe that was

504
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,760
Speaker 7: last week right where he got into the end zone.

505
00:24:51,800 --> 00:24:54,959
Speaker 7: So yeah, I actually I do like that as a

506
00:24:54,960 --> 00:24:58,720
Speaker 7: as a dart throw there because they they've got to

507
00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,960
Speaker 7: be trying trying to give him the ball. And I

508
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:05,639
Speaker 7: mean you mentioned like Michael Pittman. I love Michael Pittman,

509
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:09,119
Speaker 7: and uh, it's it's great to see that he's he

510
00:25:09,200 --> 00:25:12,480
Speaker 7: should be all good to go. And yeah, looking at

511
00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 7: like Dantavian Wicks because as you mentioned, no Christian Watson,

512
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 7: Jayden Reid's got a toe injury they've they've got to

513
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:22,400
Speaker 7: they got to move the ball somewhere. I I mentioned

514
00:25:22,480 --> 00:25:24,679
Speaker 7: him on the last episode. I I do really like

515
00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,400
Speaker 7: ty Chandler despite the fact that, yes, that the Lions

516
00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 7: can defend the run. But uh, it looks like Kevin

517
00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:36,919
Speaker 7: O'Connell was talking about him this week and is acknowledging

518
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 7: that they're probably going to be giving Chandler the workload,

519
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,960
Speaker 7: the bulk of the workload, even with a healthy Alexander Madison,

520
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:46,760
Speaker 7: because he's looked that good. So yeah, I think that

521
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,040
Speaker 7: if the Vikings offense is gonna to put up points,

522
00:25:50,040 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 7: which they they were able to do fine with Nick

523
00:25:52,240 --> 00:25:54,960
Speaker 7: Mullens last week. Uh, in this game with the Lions

524
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,240
Speaker 7: could easily very well be a shootout, and and you

525
00:25:57,320 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 7: may want to get pieces of that Vikings offense in there.

526
00:26:00,119 --> 00:26:03,000
Speaker 5: We have been banging the drum for ty Chandler all

527
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,919
Speaker 5: season long. Finally, finally that time is here. And you

528
00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 5: know what couldn't arrive too soon with winning time here

529
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:13,359
Speaker 5: in a big matchup Overrunner in that one is forty

530
00:26:13,400 --> 00:26:17,680
Speaker 5: seven for those unawares. And also you're looking at Detroit

531
00:26:17,720 --> 00:26:21,120
Speaker 5: and Minnesota this week, then the week between then they'll

532
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:24,000
Speaker 5: play again and right now. They could play each other

533
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,960
Speaker 5: in the playoffs as well, So lots of this matchup,

534
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 5: lots of Nick Mullin's notes being scrawled out for future

535
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:36,080
Speaker 5: iterations of this matchup by Production Cruise nationwide. He's Ryan

536
00:26:36,119 --> 00:26:39,320
Speaker 5: Berschinger out by Carman. I watch a flex continues next,

537
00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:43,320
Speaker 5: Dan Byer rejoins, talking all about the give me one reason,

538
00:26:43,400 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 5: the start and sit of the week, bersh with his

539
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 5: streaming defense, and of course a couple of Survivor picks

540
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,000
Speaker 5: for those of you still alive.

541
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:54,360
Speaker 3: Stay tuned. That's coming up next, and I watch Flex.

542
00:26:54,760 --> 00:26:57,679
Speaker 4: All right now, Harmon can rest Ryan Berschinger and I

543
00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 4: will handle the final segment. At least Mike can sit

544
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,239
Speaker 4: back and listen to us and poke fun at our

545
00:27:03,320 --> 00:27:06,119
Speaker 4: at our picks. Here, Burch is going to give you

546
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 4: three a couple of streaming defenses. I don't know how

547
00:27:08,200 --> 00:27:10,479
Speaker 4: many he has. I was going to say three, so

548
00:27:10,480 --> 00:27:12,840
Speaker 4: maybe you're obligated to it. Ryan versy there. Then I'm

549
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:14,360
Speaker 4: going to give you I gotta start and I got

550
00:27:14,359 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 4: a ben she give you one reason why those are happening,

551
00:27:17,040 --> 00:27:18,960
Speaker 4: and then we're going to dive into the Survivor and again,

552
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 4: if you're still alive in a survivor pool. You owe

553
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,120
Speaker 4: us about five hundred thousand dollars of that share, because yeah,

554
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 4: this is.

555
00:27:26,040 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: Like you're deep into it.

556
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,400
Speaker 4: But let's let's keep on with all this, and Mike

557
00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 4: you can sit there in the armchair quarterback and analyze

558
00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,280
Speaker 4: our analyzing.

559
00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 2: Do you want me to go first with my give

560
00:27:36,000 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 2: you one reasons? Pers ye?

561
00:27:37,200 --> 00:27:39,680
Speaker 4: Okay, all right, I'm going to give you one reason

562
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:42,680
Speaker 4: to start a guy. But it's only only are you

563
00:27:42,720 --> 00:27:47,080
Speaker 4: ready for this in daily fantasy purposes? And it dawned

564
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:50,720
Speaker 4: on me on Monday night that Julio Jones was still

565
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:54,000
Speaker 4: a member of an NFL football team. Let's go with

566
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 4: Mike having Jalen Hurts in his top five quarterbacks Daily

567
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 4: Fantasy only play Julio Jones because again, I just think

568
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 4: that they try to get the passing game going something

569
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:09,399
Speaker 4: that's been off track. So Julio Jones, off of his

570
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 4: one catch for six yards on one target, yes, gets

571
00:28:13,080 --> 00:28:16,320
Speaker 4: going against the New York Giants on Christmas Day.

572
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 7: It's got to happen at some point, right, Lightning's got to.

573
00:28:19,480 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 2: Start daily Fantasy only.

574
00:28:21,080 --> 00:28:23,800
Speaker 4: Don't be like you know what, I was able to

575
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:26,240
Speaker 4: bench Stefan Diggs because the guy told me to play

576
00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:27,080
Speaker 4: Julio Jones.

577
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:28,159
Speaker 2: No, don't do that.

578
00:28:29,119 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 4: So I'm gonna go and I'm gonna give you another

579
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 4: name to bench, and that's Noah Brown of the Texans.

580
00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:37,080
Speaker 4: It's a popular name because of how depleted the Texans

581
00:28:37,080 --> 00:28:40,520
Speaker 4: have been. Even with Case Keenum there, Noah Brown shines

582
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:43,680
Speaker 4: when Nico Collins isn't there. Nico Collins is expected to

583
00:28:43,720 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 4: go for Houston least he's trending that way. So that

584
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:49,720
Speaker 4: does put a damper on what Noah Brown does for

585
00:28:49,920 --> 00:28:53,040
Speaker 4: the Texans. Plus, they've got the Browns in which would

586
00:28:53,080 --> 00:28:56,680
Speaker 4: be a tight matchup. So I'm benching Noah Brown of

587
00:28:56,720 --> 00:28:57,880
Speaker 4: the Texans this week.

588
00:28:58,480 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 7: Yeah, that's I think that's a good call. It's very

589
00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 7: hard to blaye the Texans receivers without c. J. Stroud,

590
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:09,440
Speaker 7: even though that they've had a couple that have worked.

591
00:29:10,840 --> 00:29:11,920
Speaker 7: I wouldn't want to touch.

592
00:29:11,760 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 4: It, yeah Stroud, Yeah, likely a no go. Case Keenum

593
00:29:15,240 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 4: likely to go again. That is fresh off of that

594
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 4: two and twenty nine yard performance against Tennessee that he

595
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 4: had last week. You got your streaming.

596
00:29:23,080 --> 00:29:26,520
Speaker 7: Defenses, I do, I do so. As I mentioned in

597
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,760
Speaker 7: the Waivers episode, the Broncos defense is a great play

598
00:29:30,800 --> 00:29:34,680
Speaker 7: against the Patriots this week. They are still owned are

599
00:29:34,160 --> 00:29:37,360
Speaker 7: They're owned in less than thirty percent of leagues right now,

600
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:40,440
Speaker 7: so there's you can still jump on the Broncos defense

601
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:43,600
Speaker 7: against the Patriots. I think that's a great play. I

602
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,760
Speaker 7: am playing the Bengals, who are available in nearly eighty

603
00:29:47,800 --> 00:29:50,120
Speaker 7: five percent of leagues right now, the Bengals against the

604
00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 7: Steelers because what Mason Rudolph I believe is what's going

605
00:29:56,440 --> 00:29:56,880
Speaker 7: on there.

606
00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,840
Speaker 4: I think Barstool used the picture when he didn't have

607
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:03,600
Speaker 4: his face mask on, like they are like like how

608
00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 4: dirty can you be?

609
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 2: That's cold?

610
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:07,640
Speaker 3: Uh?

611
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 7: Yeah, No, I'm very comfortable with playing the Bengals defense

612
00:30:11,360 --> 00:30:14,080
Speaker 7: as a play there. And if we're going three, well,

613
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 7: I don't want to. I can't say that the Bills

614
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,200
Speaker 7: are a stream I was able to pick up the

615
00:30:18,200 --> 00:30:21,840
Speaker 7: Bills defense on waivers this week and they're still they're

616
00:30:21,920 --> 00:30:24,080
Speaker 7: they're roster in eighty seven and a half percent of

617
00:30:24,160 --> 00:30:27,760
Speaker 7: league against the Chargers against East and stick No Keenan Allen,

618
00:30:28,520 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 7: I love that play. But yeah, if you're still looking

619
00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:35,520
Speaker 7: at streaming, we have the the beautiful unstoppable force meets

620
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:39,760
Speaker 7: immovable object once again in the Commanders playing the Jets.

621
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:42,840
Speaker 2: I have previously vouched.

622
00:30:42,560 --> 00:30:46,880
Speaker 7: For streaming the Commanders when they were playing a bad offense,

623
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,760
Speaker 7: and I mean it works again. The Giants. I think

624
00:30:49,800 --> 00:30:52,000
Speaker 7: that was the team that I vouched to play them against.

625
00:30:52,000 --> 00:30:54,160
Speaker 7: They got eleven points there and then they proceeded to

626
00:30:54,160 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 7: get negative six and back to back weeks after that.

627
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:01,240
Speaker 7: So not Yeah, of course you don't like the Commander's defense,

628
00:31:01,280 --> 00:31:04,360
Speaker 7: but they are playing the New York Jets. And if

629
00:31:04,360 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 7: you're still looking, if none of those appeal to you,

630
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 7: I see the Eagles are still available. In nearly half

631
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:16,040
Speaker 7: of league's they about they're rostered, and roughly sixty percent

632
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:20,160
Speaker 7: of leagues against at home against the Giants. I know

633
00:31:20,240 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 7: that the Davito mania is taking off, but I.

634
00:31:23,240 --> 00:31:25,440
Speaker 4: Still I think it's taken off. I think it's ready

635
00:31:25,480 --> 00:31:27,760
Speaker 4: for landing. Yeah, I think that's where we are.

636
00:31:29,800 --> 00:31:33,080
Speaker 7: It's time for Tommy to come back Dearth. So I

637
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,000
Speaker 7: would I would play the Eagles defense.

638
00:31:34,680 --> 00:31:37,520
Speaker 4: All right, And here's my survivor picks. Harmon, I got

639
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,840
Speaker 4: your Bears. I think that the Bears as a squad

640
00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 4: against the Cardinals I think would be a good pick.

641
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:46,960
Speaker 4: You probably only picked Chicago maybe a couple of opportunities

642
00:31:47,640 --> 00:31:48,400
Speaker 4: of this season.

643
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 2: So I like the Bears.

644
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:52,600
Speaker 4: And then you mentioned the Broncos obviously at home against

645
00:31:52,880 --> 00:31:57,920
Speaker 4: New England on Christmas Eve night. I don't love that one.

646
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,960
Speaker 4: I like that one. I really love the Bears as

647
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:04,280
Speaker 4: a survivor play. I think they're significantly better than the Cardinals.

648
00:32:04,520 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 4: Bears Bears not Bears. All right, there it is, give

649
00:32:08,320 --> 00:32:11,560
Speaker 4: you one reason streaming defense is and survivor and that's

650
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:12,560
Speaker 4: it for Week sixteen.

651
00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 2: So we'll be back, harmon. You're gonna be in Florida

652
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 2: next week.

653
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:19,320
Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll be dialing up from parts unknown, okay while

654
00:32:19,320 --> 00:32:20,800
Speaker 5: the cell phone reception.

655
00:32:20,520 --> 00:32:22,280
Speaker 2: Works live from the Everglades.

656
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:26,320
Speaker 5: Maybe on one of those fan boats chasing gators.

657
00:32:26,360 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 3: I don't know. You never can't tell.

Speaker 4: We'll have episodes for you during the holiday week because

Speaker 4: we know how important Week seventeen is. Plus we'll take

661
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 4: a look back at Week sixteen. Hopefully Week sixteen goes

662
00:32:37,240 --> 00:32:39,120
Speaker 4: well for you and you advance in your playoffs or

663
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,440
