Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, November eighteenth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we want
Speaker 1: Colin Ferrell to win all of the awards. It's me
Speaker 1: your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael A. F
Speaker 1: Florio and Lakwan Jones. We've all we finished the Penguin basically,
Speaker 1: is what I'm telling you all, and we are all
Speaker 1: big fans and we love it.
Speaker 2: And Covine Cherl was great, fellas, he was amazing in
Speaker 2: that show.
Speaker 3: Amazing sole the show, top tier actor. I guess the
Speaker 3: show was already his, so he didn't have to steal it.
Speaker 3: But right, ah, man, yeah, I know. If you haven't
Speaker 3: seen it, go check it out. For sure.
Speaker 1: It feels like the kind of thing we have spent
Speaker 1: a long time on in the off season. If this
Speaker 1: has come out during the offseason we had the cheat
Speaker 1: sheets still like this would have.
Speaker 2: Been a thing we spent like a whole episode on.
Speaker 1: So maybe maybe we just hold it back and we
Speaker 1: just talk about it in the off season. We cannot
Speaker 1: do that today, sadly, because we do have a lot
Speaker 1: to jump into. They'll have one more game in week eleven.
Speaker 1: A Monday Night tilt between the Houston Texans and the
Speaker 1: Dallas Cowboys. But other than that, we'll have our biggest
Speaker 1: takeaways from what we saw this week. We will give
Speaker 1: you some waiver wire picks and another edition of the
Speaker 1: fantasy mail Bag. We enjoyed all your tweets so much
Speaker 1: the first time around, maybe we do it the second
Speaker 1: time around as well. But let's get started, as we
Speaker 1: normally do, with some fantasy headlines and one headline. One
Speaker 1: big headline coming out of New York.
Speaker 3: The Giants have.
Speaker 2: Made a move at quarterback.
Speaker 1: Daniel Jones is going to bench row and in his
Speaker 1: place it is not Drew lock Instead Florio, it is
Speaker 1: Tommy Cuttlet's back in our lives, Tommy DeVito getting the start.
Speaker 2: I think that cut everybody by surprise.
Speaker 1: I think the assumption is that it was just gonna
Speaker 1: be Drew Locke as the next man up, but that
Speaker 1: is not the way Brian Dable is going to go.
Speaker 1: But we're not really starting Tommy Cutlets this week, are we.
Speaker 3: I think if you are in a pinch in like
Speaker 3: a two quarterback league, or maybe you're in like a
Speaker 3: real deep league because of the matchup, like the Bucks
Speaker 3: are such a good matchup for quarterbacks. But more importantly,
Speaker 3: I think this matters for Melik Neighbors, Tyrone Tracy and
Speaker 3: those other playmakers on the Giants. And I looked this morning.
Speaker 3: I compared twenty twenty three Tommy DeVito to twenty twenty
Speaker 3: four Daniel Jones. Numbers pretty similar, but on deep passes,
Speaker 3: de Vito was significantly better, almost double the completion percentage,
Speaker 3: literally double the air yards, way more past Epa. He
Speaker 3: was also better throws out wide. So I think this
Speaker 3: could be a good thing for Melik neighbors. It certainly
Speaker 3: can't hurt Tyrone Tracy, I would say, And more than anything,
Speaker 3: New Yorkers finally have something to get excited about football wise,
Speaker 3: Like ever since Aaron Rodgers tore his achilles last year,
Speaker 3: they've been searching for some excitement and Tommy DeVito is
Speaker 3: the only one that has given it to them.
Speaker 1: Lakwh you heard, Floria, Like yeah, two quarterback leagues, deep
Speaker 1: deep leagues, Like in a pinch, there are six teams
Speaker 1: gon to buy this week?
Speaker 2: Are you spending fab on Tommy DeVito?
Speaker 4: I'm not spending a lot, but if I'm out there
Speaker 4: in a pinch, I'm gonna be able to drive the
Speaker 4: bag on him. You have to bring him in. I'm
Speaker 4: excited for him to get to start now. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 4: this Giants offense they need a spark. They need something
Speaker 4: to go out like our Jersey folks driving to that
Speaker 4: MetLife stadium. They need something to watch and they need
Speaker 4: something to root for. And I think Tommy DeVito coming in,
Speaker 4: you bring in that last year hype, You bringing that
Speaker 4: last year energy. Maybe they go out there and they
Speaker 4: get a win. Maybe he goes out there and throws
Speaker 4: for three hundred yards. Who knows, But I'm all in
Speaker 4: on Tommy DeVito.
Speaker 1: So the upside if you're looking at this, you mentioned
Speaker 1: the matchup Florio. I mean last year, the best game
Speaker 1: that DeVito had was in Week eleven against the Commanders.
Speaker 2: When he went for two hundred and forty six yards
Speaker 2: and three touchdowns.
Speaker 1: That was against a Commander's defense that ranked dead last
Speaker 1: against the pass. The Bucks this year they are pretty
Speaker 1: bad against the pass. They're not dead last, they ranked
Speaker 1: twenty ninth, but they are sort of at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the pile. They've given up twenty touchdown passes. So maybe,
Speaker 1: just maybe he can make something happen this week against
Speaker 1: Tampa Goodness nose. They will probably have to throw the
Speaker 1: football though, because the Bucks will move it up and
Speaker 1: down they will score some points, so this could end
Speaker 1: up being a lot of throwing the football, A lot
Speaker 1: of quarterbacks featured, for sure. Still, maybe not a surprise
Speaker 1: that they've bench Daniel Jones, just to surprise to me
Speaker 1: that they seem to skip over Drew Lock and go
Speaker 1: right to the veto.
Speaker 2: But we'll see.
Speaker 1: I'm sure we'll talk more about it as we get
Speaker 1: closer to the start of Week twelve. In the meantime,
Speaker 1: let's take a look at some of the week's top scorers.
Speaker 1: Of course, one game still left to be played. Jared
Speaker 1: Goff four hundred and twelve passing yards, four touchdowns, even
Speaker 1: twenty one rushing yards. The Lions did anything and everything
Speaker 1: they wanted against the Jaguars this past week. Thirty four
Speaker 1: and a half points for golf, Saquon Barkley doing Saquon
Speaker 1: things over or nearly one hundred or neither two hundred
Speaker 1: rather scrimmage yards for Saquon, a couple of touchdowns, almost
Speaker 1: thirty four points for him. I'm on ros Saint Brown
Speaker 1: a part of that big Lions avalanche. Eleven catches, one
Speaker 1: hundred and sixty one yards and two touchdowns, thirty eight
Speaker 1: point seven points there. And at Taysom Hill we're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about Taysom Hill in a little bit. Eighteen passing
Speaker 1: yards you had an interception, ran for one hundred and
Speaker 1: thirty eight yards and three touchdowns. Eight catches for fifty
Speaker 1: yards forty one point five to two points. I don't
Speaker 1: want to Lakwan, but we have to. I mean, it's
Speaker 1: just because it's just sort of how things go. Chris Boswell,
Speaker 1: you're leading kickers six field goals. That was twenty four
Speaker 1: points there. In the Broncos defense, four sacked, an interception,
Speaker 1: six points allowed as they just harassed Kirk Cousins and
Speaker 1: the Atlanta Falcons. So those were some of the big names,
Speaker 1: some of the headliners there. Your fantasy hero Lakwana sort
Speaker 1: of a kid to just at least for this week.
Speaker 2: Your regular football hero, yes, Matthew Stafford Man.
Speaker 4: I finally got him in the starting lineups this week
Speaker 4: and he blew up man. Four touchdowns, zero interceptions in.
Speaker 4: One thing that we know for sure about this Rams
Speaker 4: offense that they are are dangerous again poking Aku and
Speaker 4: making the big place in Cooper Cuff on that second touchdown.
Speaker 4: That's probably the easiest touchdown he's had in his career,
Speaker 4: just running away from that Patriot secondary. But Matthew Stafford
Speaker 4: has been on a course of just shy at three
Speaker 4: hundred yards in this last four games. But these touchdowns
Speaker 4: are going to keep comming as long as Cooper Cup
Speaker 4: and pooking Toakoa stay healthy. So you guys should be
Speaker 4: ready for the most dangerous team going into those fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, they're certainly very dangerous.
Speaker 1: They are not Lions dangerous because the Lions right now
Speaker 1: look like maybe the best team in the NFL.
Speaker 3: They're the main event.
Speaker 2: According to Acbar, I'm justin this is the Lions main joke.
Speaker 2: He coined him.
Speaker 3: I kind of like it, but I was just.
Speaker 1: Like, no, I look, we love Akbar in the show,
Speaker 1: but do not encourage. Do not encourage things like that.
Speaker 1: It will only and badly for everyone involved. Do not encourage.
Speaker 2: That's all right, Floyda. This is the part of the
Speaker 2: show where we talk about Taysom Hill.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: I don't really want to, but I feel like we
Speaker 3: have to. Like, I mean, There's a zero way we
Speaker 3: could have came on today and not talked Taysom Hill
Speaker 3: after he had the most Taysom Hill stat line ever,
Speaker 3: three rushing touchdowns, a career high one hundred and thirty
Speaker 3: eight rushing yards, also threw a pick, career high in
Speaker 3: targets catch his first game ever with one hundred rushing
Speaker 3: yards fifty or more receiving yards. But I think big
Speaker 3: picture here, like obviously this was his career game. You're
Speaker 3: not going to get this every week out of him
Speaker 3: or anything like that. But I do think at points
Speaker 3: that you can use Taysom Hill in fantasy moving forward.
Speaker 3: They're on by next week, but after that, like, I'm
Speaker 3: not starting him over the big name tight ends like Kittle, Bowers, McBride,
Speaker 3: the elite guys, But like, if you have a more
Speaker 3: fringe option, I would argue that Taysom Hill, the floor
Speaker 3: might be low, but the ceiling is certainly higher, because
Speaker 3: not only are they clearly using him in the passing
Speaker 3: game as an extension of the run game, but they're
Speaker 3: using him near the goal line and this not only
Speaker 3: helps him, it really hurts how Kamara, whose numbers have
Speaker 3: taken a hit as of late not getting as many passes,
Speaker 3: not getting as many touchdowns as he was early in
Speaker 3: the year. So Taysum's arrow might be going up, but
Speaker 3: as we've seen in past years, that typically leads to
Speaker 3: the rest of the Saints arrows for fantasy pointing down.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he just sort of takes away from
Speaker 1: so many different areas.
Speaker 2: Right, He'll throw the football, which you know.
Speaker 1: I mean, not that anybody's really starting Derek Carr, but
Speaker 1: that is fewer opportunities for Derek Carr. You mentioned the rushing,
Speaker 1: especially near the goal line, that is taking food off
Speaker 1: of Alvin Kamara's play.
Speaker 2: He'll catch the football occasionally.
Speaker 1: So if you were, by chance trying to start Juwan
Speaker 1: Johnson in first place, thoughts and prayers, But if you were,
Speaker 1: then that's fewer targets for Juwan Johnson in those situations.
Speaker 2: This was not unpredictable.
Speaker 1: I mean, for the last couple of weeks, it just
Speaker 1: felt like we were going to get a big Taysom
Speaker 1: Hill game because there were so many injuries, because this
Speaker 1: offense was looking for any kind of spark.
Speaker 2: But this was just one of those big blow up
Speaker 2: games and.
Speaker 1: Now everybody's gonna start asking Taysom Hill questions and do
Speaker 1: I pick him up?
Speaker 2: Do I put him in my lineup? The only one who's.
Speaker 1: Really happy about this, fellas is matt Ocatta, our pal
Speaker 1: matt Ocatta, who yes, Taysom Hill stand in our building,
Speaker 1: is smiling ear to ear somewhere after watching his guy
Speaker 1: go off for forty one and a half points. My
Speaker 1: fantasy hero for the week is Brock Bowers and it
Speaker 1: just continues to be an amazing rookie season for him,
Speaker 1: and he also continues to be really the only thing
Speaker 1: that we can consistently count on in the Raiders offense.
Speaker 1: Another big week for brock Bowers. I mean, right now
Speaker 1: he is the tight end one overall. You know, he's
Speaker 1: eighteen and a half points clear of George Kittle. So
Speaker 1: it could be that we have a rookie as the
Speaker 1: te one overall in back to back seasons, after Sam
Speaker 1: Laporta did it last year only three touchdowns, which is
Speaker 1: sort of amazing the fact that he's been able to
Speaker 1: do this without getting in the Enzo had a touchdown
Speaker 1: yesterday one hundred and twenty six yards, which was a
Speaker 1: season high for him. But doesn't matter who the quarterback is,
Speaker 1: whether it's Aid and O'Connell, Gardner, Minshew. Even when Desmond
Speaker 1: Ritter was in there for a little bit a couple
Speaker 1: of weeks ago, he was throwing the ball in brock
Speaker 1: Bauer's direction a little bit. So at this point you
Speaker 1: don't have to ask questions anymore. You don't have to
Speaker 1: worry about matchups. Just know that if brock Bauers is playing,
Speaker 1: he should be in your fantasy starting lineup.
Speaker 2: Those are euros for the week.
Speaker 1: Now, let's take a look at our takeaway, some of
Speaker 1: the big picture views of things we saw over the weekend.
Speaker 1: And I noticed it is a full quarterback edition, a
Speaker 1: young quarterback edition of takeaways.
Speaker 2: Lakwan, what was yours?
Speaker 4: We have to be patient with Will Levis because when
Speaker 4: you're watching this game and you see the big plays
Speaker 4: that he makes to Calvin Ridley down the field and
Speaker 4: then it's called back. These are just the flashes with
Speaker 4: Will Levis just making the better decisions instead of turning
Speaker 4: the ball over. I know he turned the ball over
Speaker 4: last last game, but overall we're looking at Will Levis
Speaker 4: just playing fundamental football, making the right decisions, getting Calvin
Speaker 4: really activated. He's getting him closer to the line of
Speaker 4: scrimmage fields where calm really can create. After now we're
Speaker 4: being activated that Will Levis, you know, putting up two
Speaker 4: hundred and ninety five yards, This is a big achievement
Speaker 4: for him moving forward. So he's one of those guys
Speaker 4: that I would just have on the wings if you're
Speaker 4: looking for a fantasy quarterback and those two quarterback leads
Speaker 4: or even feared down bad at the quarterback position, Will
Speaker 4: Levis is showing improvement as the time goes on, and
Speaker 4: he's one of those guys that could probably shakas coming
Speaker 4: into the fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 1: I do have Will Levis in a super flex format
Speaker 1: and I had to start him this week, and you know,
Speaker 1: it is what it is.
Speaker 3: I super excited.
Speaker 1: I never super excited about starting Will Levis, but you know,
Speaker 1: like there are always moments you always sort of believe
Speaker 1: that maybe it can happen at some point.
Speaker 3: Got to be patient.
Speaker 1: Man, if Will Levis were a gift, he would be that,
Speaker 1: you know, that Carlton gift of him, like throwing the
Speaker 1: basketball and then like pumping his fists like waiting for
Speaker 1: something to happen like that, That is Will Levis h
Speaker 1: as a gift for sure.
Speaker 2: Meanwhile, with Florio, your young quarterback is actually.
Speaker 1: Paying dividends, like right now, Yeah, I think Drake May
Speaker 1: is going to be a problem.
Speaker 3: And this is partly for the rest of this season,
Speaker 3: but one hundred percent like buy him in dynasty for
Speaker 3: next season right now, because look at what he has
Speaker 3: done so far this year, giving you over seventeen fantasy
Speaker 3: points per game in his full games as a starter.
Speaker 3: But those have come in some tough matchups like Texans
Speaker 3: Jags are easy, but Jets, Titans, Bears, Rams. Schedule opens
Speaker 3: up now his next four Dolphins, Patriots, Cardinals, and then
Speaker 3: he gets the Bills, which is a little bit tough,
Speaker 3: but he is doing what he is doing right now
Speaker 3: with I would argue the worst offensive line in football,
Speaker 3: bottom tier weapons, a first time head coach with a
Speaker 3: play caller with very little experience. The Patriots next season
Speaker 3: not only have all of their picks, they have a
Speaker 3: couple of others from trades. They are going to be
Speaker 3: in the top ten top five draft pick wise, and
Speaker 3: they have the most cap in the NFL entering the offseason.
Speaker 3: So we're seeing Drake May right now put do what
Speaker 3: he's doing and show flashes that to me, I keep
Speaker 3: saying it really remind me of a young Josh Allen,
Speaker 3: and he is doing it with bare necessities around him.
Speaker 3: Once he gets actual playmakers and stuff like that, and
Speaker 3: an O line that could block, forget about it. So
Speaker 3: if you play in a dynasty, I think he is
Speaker 3: the biggest buy right now and in the offseason moving
Speaker 3: into next year, because that arrow is going to shoot
Speaker 3: up in a big way.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's gonna shoot up in a big,
Speaker 2: big way.
Speaker 1: I'm curious to see what the Patriots do in terms
Speaker 1: of their wide receiver corps. I mean, obviously they spent
Speaker 1: draft picks last year on a couple of young wideouts
Speaker 1: that haven't quite panned out. So we'll see if those
Speaker 1: guys develop or if the Patriots sort of go back
Speaker 1: to the well and try to find some more receivers
Speaker 1: for next season. For me, what we saw yesterday that
Speaker 1: was the Anthony Richardson we have been waiting for. It
Speaker 1: is the Anthony Richardson that we thought we were getting.
Speaker 1: Gotcha over twenty eight fantasy points because in Part two,
Speaker 1: rushing touchdowns helped the whole lot, but throw the ball
Speaker 1: very very well, tore and seventy two passing yards had
Speaker 1: a passing touchdown on what proved to.
Speaker 3: Be the game winning drive in that.
Speaker 1: One, had a couple of really nice throws, one down
Speaker 1: the sideline to Alec Pearce, a big play to Josh
Speaker 1: Downs as well, and then finished it off with a
Speaker 1: touchdown run himself. Yesterday, nearly thirty percent of his carries
Speaker 1: were design runs. That was a thing we were expecting
Speaker 1: to see more of this season. We hadn't really seen it.
Speaker 1: It was his best game since Week one, when he
Speaker 1: had a rushing touchdown and got you over twenty fantasy points.
Speaker 1: Now the trick for Richardson is going to be consistency.
Speaker 1: Can he backed this up this week? Coming up with
Speaker 1: what he did this past week, You know, we still
Speaker 1: expect him inconsistency throwing the football not a great matchup
Speaker 1: next week against the Detroit Lions. Does have some tough
Speaker 1: matchups in the fantasy playoffs, So really do need to
Speaker 1: see him run the football more effectively in order to
Speaker 1: have a lot more confidence. But if you stayed the course,
Speaker 1: if you put him back in your lineup, you're feeling
Speaker 1: really really good about it, and you're starting to remember
Speaker 1: why it is you spent a high draft pick on
Speaker 1: Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 3: All right, that was.
Speaker 2: Our look at week eleven.
Speaker 1: We're gonna start to spend forty the week twelve, Plus
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some of your questions coming up in
Speaker 1: the Fantasy mailback. That's next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: Let's take a look at this week's waiver wire options Florida.
Speaker 1: Who should we be aiming for for week twelve.
Speaker 3: I don't know why bo Knicks is still available on
Speaker 3: waiver wires, but he is in like half of NFL
Speaker 3: league's Please change that. Also add Anthony Richardson, and Marcus
Speaker 3: was just talking him up a whole bunch two A
Speaker 3: Tungua Bai Looa has a good matchup next week. I
Speaker 3: already spoke up Drake may think you need to add him.
Speaker 3: Jalen Warren seeing more volume as of late. A lot
Speaker 3: of Raiders running backs on here, Alexander Madison's Amir White,
Speaker 3: Amir Abdullah in case Madison is out next week, but
Speaker 3: I just love their schedule in the fantasy playoffs. Audric
Speaker 3: Estimate and Jalen Wright because we need to pick up
Speaker 3: some running back right like it's it's been bear the
Speaker 3: running back position it is a good week for receivers, though,
Speaker 3: Roma Dunes was dropped in a good amount of league,
Speaker 3: so he might be out there for you. Christian Watson
Speaker 3: had his best game since the last game of the
Speaker 3: twenty twenty two season. Jerry Judy and Elijah Moore just
Speaker 3: continue to go off with Jamis Winston mvs. Is the
Speaker 3: new Rashid Shaheed, so I think you want to pick
Speaker 3: him up. Lakwan's boy Damario Douglas seeing a lot of
Speaker 3: work from Drake May, Curtis Samuel, I know they run
Speaker 3: by this week. This is more if Keon Coleman is
Speaker 3: out again after that, Taysom Hill after what he did,
Speaker 3: needs to be added. And then Hunter Henry and Lakwan's
Speaker 3: boy John hw Smith are going under the radar, but
Speaker 3: they are productive Fantasy tight ends and should be added
Speaker 3: right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't.
Speaker 1: I mean Hunter Henry, I sort of get going under
Speaker 1: the radar because you know, we're I don't know, we
Speaker 1: just haven't really talked a lot about the Patriots beyond
Speaker 1: Drake May. John hu Smith though, is doing things and
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how people are not paying attention to him.
Speaker 1: But speaking of John new Smith to a tongue of
Speaker 1: Ioloa on that list. I mean, Lakwan, it hasn't necessarily
Speaker 1: been great. He's kind only fringe QB one, but it
Speaker 1: feels like he's definitely a lock.
Speaker 2: For two QB leagues.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he's definitely a lock for two QB leagues, but
Speaker 4: one QB leagues. It's where we kind of know that
Speaker 4: he has a ceiling there where it's like that QB
Speaker 4: two range and the low end QB one range. But listen,
Speaker 4: long as Tyreek Hill is still going out there, he's
Speaker 4: healthy and suiting up Jaye and Wattle, he pops up
Speaker 4: every now and then. But it's really John Newsmith that
Speaker 4: you know, I will get into in a minute, but
Speaker 4: I really feels though he's going to make me dye
Speaker 4: my hair blind with this five deal that we made
Speaker 4: earlier in the season, because man, he's absolutely opening everything
Speaker 4: up in the middle.
Speaker 3: Of the field for two and we know too him.
Speaker 4: Man, if he's gonna dump it off, it's either to
Speaker 4: the running backs or it's going to be a tight
Speaker 4: end that can career after to catch.
Speaker 2: And JOHNA.
Speaker 4: Smith fits that bill for Mike Daniel for sure.
Speaker 1: I mean, John Smith was absolutely cooking the Raiders on Sunday,
Speaker 1: and it has been yeah, quietly, maybe the most consistent
Speaker 1: pass catcher in that Dolphins offense at least four fantasy purposes.
Speaker 2: For sure.
Speaker 3: I was gonna say, can I not dye my hair?
Speaker 3: Oh no, I mean you're looking like slim Shady at
Speaker 3: the end of this year. He five.
Speaker 1: I was at least going to give you Wesley Snipes
Speaker 1: and Demolition Man, you know, something like that.
Speaker 2: Whatever, right, let's get over to the fantasy mail bag
Speaker 2: we asked for.
Speaker 3: You didn't see yourself.
Speaker 2: You did do this to yourself.
Speaker 1: We asked some of your questions on Twitter. Let's get
Speaker 1: into a few of them. This one first one is
Speaker 1: from a guy who asked, can I rely on DeVante
Speaker 1: Adams in that Jets offense?
Speaker 2: I mean, Flourio. Is it jover for Davante this year?
Speaker 3: No, I don't think so. I think it's it's jover
Speaker 3: for him as like a top ten Fantasy Elite Fantasy
Speaker 3: wide receiver. But in his last four games the Floor,
Speaker 3: his lowest performance is nine fantasy points. I know it's
Speaker 3: happened twice, but he has a couple of bigger games there.
Speaker 3: He has two games with eleven or more targets. In
Speaker 3: that four game span. So I think the floor is
Speaker 3: safe enough where you could trust. There's still some upside
Speaker 3: there and he is still going to get a bunch
Speaker 3: of volume met. He's not what he used to be,
Speaker 3: but that doesn't mean you can't trust him in fantasy.
Speaker 2: Look on, is Aaron Rodgers washed? Yes?
Speaker 3: Uh yes, throw the tiepod in there.
Speaker 2: It's over, man, Like I honestly think like we.
Speaker 4: Honestly looked at his age, and we looked at his injury,
Speaker 4: we looked at the team he's going to be playing for.
Speaker 4: It's like, this is going to be bad. This is
Speaker 4: going to be a car crash. And that's exactly what
Speaker 4: it is.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think we all thought, yeah, that could happen,
Speaker 1: but we're also like, but man, he's been so good
Speaker 1: for so long, maybe he can just muster up.
Speaker 2: A little bit now.
Speaker 3: Bay was terrible.
Speaker 1: It was all that I know. But you know, sometimes
Speaker 1: we get hopeful and we forget about the past. You know,
Speaker 1: I didn't think it was great. I figured he wasn't
Speaker 1: gonna be a QB one, but I didn't think it'd be.
Speaker 2: This bad for sure.
Speaker 1: Also, yeah, Jay Diggs wants to know, and since uh,
Speaker 1: you know, before I already talked him up.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna ask you a and can say someone really
Speaker 2: be trusted weekly.
Speaker 1: I picked him up with McBride on a bye and
Speaker 1: now I'm wondering if he's a weekly starter.
Speaker 2: Is he a weekly start?
Speaker 4: He's given the Saints offense some spark, some life. They
Speaker 4: need playmakers, and guess what coming out of the bay
Speaker 4: he faces the Rams and we cannot stop tight ends
Speaker 4: or whatever he's classified as. I can see him having
Speaker 4: another big game coming off the bye week because the
Speaker 4: Rams just cannot absolutely stop tight ends from scoring or
Speaker 4: making big plays or finding production. So as a weekly starter,
Speaker 4: I mean, look, we're getting into those fantasy playoffs. If
Speaker 4: Taysom Hill is on your roster and your starting lineups,
Speaker 4: I guess you have to start him.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say weekly starter, but you know, maybe
Speaker 1: next week is a good obber two weeks from now, right,
Speaker 1: because they're on a bye coming up in week twelves,
Speaker 1: so two weeks to potentially is one. He does have
Speaker 1: the Raiders in the Fantasy playoffs in the championship week two,
Speaker 1: so that's something to kind of keep in mind going
Speaker 1: along as well.
Speaker 2: Can't believe we did this.
Speaker 1: Hugo wants to know Florio, where's a Russell Wilson say,
Speaker 1: for the rest of the he plays the Ravens again
Speaker 1: in the playoffs finals, So yeah, Week seventeen, he's got
Speaker 1: the Ravens.
Speaker 2: I mean, how were we feeling about Russ the rest
Speaker 2: of the way.
Speaker 3: Russ is what Russ is, I would say, like, he's
Speaker 3: not a set to forget it type quarterback. He's not
Speaker 3: like you have like Jalen Hurts or Lamar Jackson or
Speaker 3: something like that, where you don't even consider getting him out.
Speaker 3: I think you play him in the right matchup, depending
Speaker 3: on what your options were. Like, Yes, he went out
Speaker 3: and laid a dug yesterday, but that doesn't take away
Speaker 3: that he had been playing good football up until that point.
Speaker 3: And his schedule moving forward, Browns Bengals, Browns Eagles, Ravens like,
Speaker 3: and then he gets the Chiefs like after that. I'm
Speaker 3: not playing him against the Chiefs, but I think you
Speaker 3: could make a case for him in those next five games.
Speaker 3: It all depends on your options. But like the Browns
Speaker 3: have struggled against the past, the Bengals have really been bad,
Speaker 3: So yeah, you're gonna be able to start Russ again
Speaker 3: this season. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, you know we talked about Russ in
Speaker 1: terms of what he meant for the other guys in
Speaker 1: that offense, you know, and he's been good. I'm i
Speaker 1: gonna say he's been a great fantasy quarterback. But you know,
Speaker 1: he gave you twenty four and week seven against the Jets,
Speaker 1: he gave you eighteen last week against the Commanders. You know,
Speaker 1: it was not great this past week against a Ravens
Speaker 1: team that we all thought it was gonna be great against,
Speaker 1: which actually does lead us to one final tweet from
Speaker 1: the bailbag. This is from Jay One, who says, my
Speaker 1: biggest question today is why did I listen to all
Speaker 1: of you when you said that Russell Wilson, well they
Speaker 1: must start this week. Well, the reason you listened to us,
Speaker 1: Jay one, is because we are exceedingly handsome and endlessly charming,
Speaker 1: and it just made sense. But moreover, it made sense
Speaker 1: because the Ravens had been bad against quarterbacks all year long.
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody was kind of dunking on them in
Speaker 1: the passing game. Credit to the defense, they bowed up
Speaker 1: when they needed to in a big situation. They did
Speaker 1: not win the game, but they did hold down Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3: So Lamar has been great all year until, like yesterday
Speaker 3: was a bizarro game. It didn't make sense, but that's
Speaker 3: what happens when these two team play.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can say it was a bizarro game based
Speaker 1: on the normal stats, but it was just a regular
Speaker 1: game when you just talk about, you know what the
Speaker 1: Ravens and Steelers normally do. So maybe maybe we should
Speaker 1: have taken that into account, but just by the numbers,
Speaker 1: it made sense.
Speaker 2: The logic was certainly there. All right.
Speaker 1: That would do some more bailback stuff a little bit
Speaker 1: later on in the week, but we appreciate you reaching
Speaker 1: out and connecting with us. Now, let's talk about one
Speaker 1: of our favorite moments from the past week.
Speaker 2: Speaking of the Steelers and the.
Speaker 5: Ravens, Joey Porter Junior made a huge play stopping Lamar
Speaker 5: Jackson on what would have been a game tying two
Speaker 5: point conversion attempt, and his dad, Joey Porter Senior, Steeler's
Speaker 5: legend was going crazy up.
Speaker 1: In the in one of the suits. There you love that, right,
Speaker 1: I mean it's it's it's dad love, it's kid.
Speaker 2: Love, it's Steeler love.
Speaker 1: I mean this was this literally was everything we sort
Speaker 1: of love about about football guys.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, man, I would love to make a play like
Speaker 4: that in front of my parents. I mean, honestly, I
Speaker 4: can shed a tear now thinking if like Mason went
Speaker 4: out there and made like a game ceiling win play, like,
Speaker 4: oh man, that is just awesome to experience.
Speaker 1: That, especially against somebody like Lamar Jackson. Yeah, that was
Speaker 1: that was fantastic, righth Flora.
Speaker 3: Cool moment for you guys who were dads, I'm sure
Speaker 3: you can only imagine. For me, I was like, at
Speaker 3: least Lamar had to wear withal to get rid of
Speaker 3: that ball like Kirk Cousins, most quarterbacks get sacked with
Speaker 3: it like and even more than that, all of his
Speaker 3: old linemen just like we're like someone else catch it,
Speaker 3: Like no, they all did. That's what stood up to me.
Speaker 1: Oh man, man, you still have to be disciplined even
Speaker 1: when somebody's kid is making a tackle there on your
Speaker 1: quarterback for sure.
Speaker 2: So that is it. We are done.
Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football show.
Speaker 2: You know the drill.
Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and
Speaker 1: remember hard work never killed anybody. Why take the chance
Speaker 1: be safe to take care of yourselves and we would
Speaker 1: talk to you tomorrow wo
