Speaker 1: let's get your flex on. Here's Dan Buyer and Mike Harman.

26
00:01:34,040 --> 00:01:36,200
Speaker 1: Nobody ever wins in Vegas, at least that's what it

27
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,120
Speaker 1: felt like on Thursday night. But the Chargers win, but

28
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:41,560
Speaker 1: I guess in a way they lose. I end up

29
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,560
Speaker 1: eating the Raiders thirty to twenty seven. The Raiders do lose,

30
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 1: and yeah, you're not going to see them in the postseason.

31
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:50,400
Speaker 1: What a game we had in Since City, Mike seeing

32
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,440
Speaker 1: the Chargers on a Justin Herbert sneak late and overtime

33
00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880
Speaker 1: leave with a thirty to twenty seven victory. What a

34
00:01:57,960 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: crazy final two min it's of regulation and into that

35
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,840
Speaker 1: overtime period, we just have absolute chaos. Right, miss field

36
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:11,960
Speaker 1: goals would be interceptions dropped. Uh the only sack of

37
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 1: the game recorded, So another missfield goal, I mean, just

38
00:02:16,639 --> 00:02:19,519
Speaker 1: uh fumble into the end zone where nobody knew the rules,

39
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,760
Speaker 1: at least the players sure didn't seem know the rules

40
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:26,800
Speaker 1: about the final two minutes, the look of agony on

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:28,840
Speaker 1: the faces of the Raiders, but we got more justin

42
00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:31,240
Speaker 1: Herbert and anytime we get to watch that. That's been

43
00:02:31,280 --> 00:02:35,239
Speaker 1: a fun experiment this year. I think for Fantasy men

44
00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:37,720
Speaker 1: and women managing their teams. It was the worst of

45
00:02:37,760 --> 00:02:40,880
Speaker 1: all scenarios because Mike Williams and Keenan Allen played, but

46
00:02:40,960 --> 00:02:44,480
Speaker 1: you knew neither one was anywhere near to a hundred percent,

47
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: So looking to Johnson or to Guiden as potential ninjas

48
00:02:49,280 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: on the back end of the roster became a lot

49
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:54,200
Speaker 1: more difficult to play them as soon as you got

50
00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: the nod from Jay Glazer that Williams and Alan were active,

51
00:02:58,360 --> 00:03:01,920
Speaker 1: So a lot of handwringing. The receiving core of the

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: Chargers may have burned some in the Fantasy playoffs, and

53
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: there may have been some out there that were burned

54
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: by Derek Carr. Want to get into that in a second.

55
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:15,000
Speaker 1: Get Mike on Twitter at Swollen Dome. I'm at Dan

56
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:17,400
Speaker 1: Buyer on Fox. You can always tweet us at I

57
00:03:17,440 --> 00:03:21,720
Speaker 1: want your flex. I'm more concerned from this game Mike

58
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:26,200
Speaker 1: when looking at what happened to Derek Carr, what happened

59
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,919
Speaker 1: to Keenan Allen as you mentioned of of his limited

60
00:03:28,960 --> 00:03:32,799
Speaker 1: production tonight. That's the frustrating part of all of this

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,640
Speaker 1: is Darren Waller at a big game mentioned Herbert right there,

62
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:40,720
Speaker 1: Hunter Henry gets in the end zone. Maybe you're playing him,

63
00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:43,920
Speaker 1: but it's the fact of the matter that in week fifteen,

64
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: most if not all leagues are at playoff time at

65
00:03:47,200 --> 00:03:51,080
Speaker 1: this time winning time, and you have two key pieces

66
00:03:51,120 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 1: because you could have made an argument for yourself to

67
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 1: play Derek Carr on Thursday night, considering what he had

68
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,640
Speaker 1: done in the last couple of weeks, considering how this

69
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: game was going to play out, and if you did,

70
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,200
Speaker 1: you got burned. And if you played Keenan Allen, you're

71
00:04:05,240 --> 00:04:08,640
Speaker 1: not happy heading into the games on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.

72
00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:12,760
Speaker 1: Alan three targets, one catch, seventeen yards mentioned Williams, who

73
00:04:12,840 --> 00:04:15,480
Speaker 1: might have been a number three based on the poorest

74
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,039
Speaker 1: secondary of the Las Vegas Raiders. I don't want to

75
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,280
Speaker 1: say Oakland, even though Jon Gruden was advertising and trying

76
00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 1: to bring that Oakland attitude early on the sidelines with

77
00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: that cap, but Williams two targets, two catches, twenty two yards.

78
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,520
Speaker 1: One of them was a huge first down for them.

79
00:04:32,040 --> 00:04:33,599
Speaker 1: But he doesn't give you much. And then you go

80
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:38,600
Speaker 1: to Austin Ekeler, who get you eleven point nine points

81
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,120
Speaker 1: in a PPR league. Another guy who was on the

82
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:45,080
Speaker 1: injury list, you mentioned Derek Carr. I was recommending him

83
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:48,239
Speaker 1: on spots I did on some of our Fox Sports

84
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,680
Speaker 1: radio affiliates earlier on Thursday, because we know what the

85
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,000
Speaker 1: charges have been and he's added a couple of runs

86
00:04:55,040 --> 00:04:58,560
Speaker 1: now and again, especially in the red zone with their

87
00:04:58,640 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: their packages that maybe you were gonna get over. And

88
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: then as soon as he pulled up going to the sideline,

89
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: the resurrection of Marcus Mariota began. Eight yards and a

90
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 1: touchdown on the ground. Some big players like you mentioned

91
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,919
Speaker 1: Waller one fifty on nine catches with the touchdown, he

92
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: was running free in the secondary, like you know that

93
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,120
Speaker 1: he's the best receiver, right and Rugs isn't out there yet.

94
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: Somehow there's these giant windows for Waller to run free.

95
00:05:26,480 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: Twelve targets on the night overall. Uh, but yeah, Derek,

96
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:33,760
Speaker 1: Derek Carr was a great spot and unfortunately now you're

97
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,240
Speaker 1: going back to your roster, going all right, where's the

98
00:05:37,320 --> 00:05:41,640
Speaker 1: highest ceiling, Like you're truly going to Las Vegas gambling

99
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,800
Speaker 1: at the back end of your roster, most likely to

100
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:46,920
Speaker 1: try to make up for what happened with Derek Carr.

101
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say something that's I don't know. I don't

102
00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:52,600
Speaker 1: think it's hot take theater because I think a lot

103
00:05:52,640 --> 00:05:55,240
Speaker 1: of people felt it as well. But I think that

104
00:05:55,279 --> 00:05:58,040
Speaker 1: the Derek Carr era at a Raiders uniform ended on

105
00:05:58,080 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 1: Thursday night. I think they love Marcus Mariota so much,

106
00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:05,400
Speaker 1: and even the bad throw that ended up in the

107
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:09,240
Speaker 1: interception to show that Mariota could come in and play

108
00:06:09,320 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: like that with the limited amounts of of snaps that

109
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:16,359
Speaker 1: he's had lately in the lack of action this season,

110
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,000
Speaker 1: I just get that sense. I don't know anything. I

111
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:23,719
Speaker 1: just get that sense though Mike with cars contract, it's

112
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,480
Speaker 1: not going to hurt them at the end of uh

113
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 1: this year if he's gone. I just get the sense that, yeah,

114
00:06:29,800 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: that Derek Carr era may have ended as crazy as

115
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,240
Speaker 1: it is because he was coming off of two magnificent games,

116
00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 1: especially in the Fantasy world. But I just I personally

117
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:41,239
Speaker 1: get that sense that Uh Gruden and crew would would

118
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: love to have Marcus Mario to be their quarterback the

119
00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:46,760
Speaker 1: rest of the way. Yeah he Uh, it certainly came

120
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,359
Speaker 1: in electrifying. UH talked about it a little bit on

121
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:53,280
Speaker 1: the show with Jason Smith on the Network, and I

122
00:06:53,600 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: believe you and George Rice Stir talked about it a

123
00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 1: little on Sunday. Uh. The wide difference of a back

124
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:04,280
Speaker 1: quarterback and being ready and capable of taking over an offense.

125
00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 1: I look at Marcus Mariotta when he came in, and

126
00:07:07,600 --> 00:07:09,279
Speaker 1: you don't know what he is, what he's gonna be.

127
00:07:09,640 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: And for many people, I bet you they didn't know

128
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: that Marcus Mariotta. They probably forgot he was the backup.

129
00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,800
Speaker 1: But then you saw Washington when Alex Smith went out

130
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:20,960
Speaker 1: and Dwayne Haskins looked like he may have used his

131
00:07:21,000 --> 00:07:24,200
Speaker 1: playbook to prop up the bad leg on the table

132
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: instead of actually processing it. So two very different ways

133
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: to approach uh the job and being ready and and

134
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:36,160
Speaker 1: Greden's always loved his backups, right, He's always talked about him,

135
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,000
Speaker 1: and we know that from from Hard Knocks. This one

136
00:07:39,040 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: feels different. But when Carl left, I was like, man,

137
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,640
Speaker 1: they missed a marketing opportunity, because it would have been

138
00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,760
Speaker 1: great for Fox to say, you got Oregon versus Oregon

139
00:07:46,840 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: on Thursday, two of the great college players of the

140
00:07:50,040 --> 00:07:53,360
Speaker 1: last decade square off, and then don't forget Oregon in

141
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:56,960
Speaker 1: USC in the back twelve title game. I mean, we

142
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:00,280
Speaker 1: could have had Oregon for forty eight hours. For of me,

143
00:08:00,360 --> 00:08:03,040
Speaker 1: I don't think Fox is catering their audience to Oregon.

144
00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: I mean, no offense Portland and Eugene. I just I

145
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:08,560
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna happen, Mike. I don't think that

146
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,520
Speaker 1: they're saying, how do we reach how do we reach

147
00:08:12,240 --> 00:08:14,760
Speaker 1: Bend Oregon. I don't think that they're saying that. I

148
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:18,240
Speaker 1: think it's more of yeah, that's where we're going. I

149
00:08:18,240 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 1: I will also add to the I just think for

150
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:27,040
Speaker 1: most teams, if you're starting quarterback goes down, your season's over.

151
00:08:27,680 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 1: And to me, that doesn't put any value in having

152
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 1: a great backup quarterback. And I just don't think that

153
00:08:33,880 --> 00:08:36,439
Speaker 1: there are enough good quarterbacks at the National Football League

154
00:08:36,800 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: to fill every roster, so to worry about who your

155
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:43,600
Speaker 1: backup quarterback is in case your starter goes down, well,

156
00:08:43,600 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 1: if your starter goes down, your season is likely going

157
00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:50,559
Speaker 1: in the tank and and that's different from from years past.

158
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,880
Speaker 1: But that's just how I view the backup quarterback position

159
00:08:53,240 --> 00:08:55,240
Speaker 1: now in the National Football League. And I know Marcus

160
00:08:55,280 --> 00:08:59,600
Speaker 1: Mariota showed us on Thursday night that that isn't always

161
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,720
Speaker 1: the case. But I will also say they're paying Marcus

162
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:05,680
Speaker 1: Mariota more than anybody else's to be a backup quarterback

163
00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:10,640
Speaker 1: maybe outside of Taysom Hill. Like that's that's you, just

164
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: if you. I just don't think it's a wise investment

165
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:16,040
Speaker 1: for most teams. Just put it that way for most

166
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:18,440
Speaker 1: I look, there's a lot of teams that even in

167
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: the quote age of the quarterback, how many times do

168
00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:25,439
Speaker 1: we do uh talking points coming out of a weekend's

169
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 1: game of how many quarterbacks are failing miserably and trying

170
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:32,720
Speaker 1: to ascertain how much is them versus their systems and

171
00:09:32,760 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 1: the player personnel around them. Uh So, as much as

172
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 1: we we get excited about the great play of saying

173
00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:43,200
Speaker 1: maybe ten to fifteen, the other fifteens, a lot of

174
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: shrugging and scratching the head wondering about the consistency. Right,

175
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,800
Speaker 1: Derek Carr being an example, look at that schedule as

176
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:53,760
Speaker 1: you go through it, what happened in that Atlanta game.

177
00:09:55,360 --> 00:09:57,520
Speaker 1: I picked Atlanta to win the game, but I'm a

178
00:09:57,520 --> 00:10:00,839
Speaker 1: contrarian at points looking for things to blow up in

179
00:10:00,880 --> 00:10:03,360
Speaker 1: a little chaos on the field. I did not expect

180
00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:07,680
Speaker 1: a forty three to six shellacking and an absolute disappearing act.

181
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:10,439
Speaker 1: So you know they've had their chances along the way,

182
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:13,520
Speaker 1: and Derek Carr has certainly had more than ample chances

183
00:10:13,800 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: uh to prove he needs to be the guy. A

184
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,480
Speaker 1: nice QBR and completion percentage only gets you so far.

185
00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: And I have no problem, by the way, with developing

186
00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 1: a quarterback and bringing them along whether you draft them

187
00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:29,640
Speaker 1: at some point. But when I just look at situations

188
00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,400
Speaker 1: like in San Francisco, like in Indianapolis and another cults

189
00:10:33,400 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 1: are using Jacoby Brissett in some situations. But you could

190
00:10:36,880 --> 00:10:40,720
Speaker 1: have gotten a very good draft pick for Jacoby Prictt

191
00:10:41,240 --> 00:10:43,480
Speaker 1: if you were shopping Nick Mullins, if you were the

192
00:10:43,520 --> 00:10:47,559
Speaker 1: forty niners at one point, you could have gotten something

193
00:10:47,640 --> 00:10:51,000
Speaker 1: for Nick Mullins. And now you see what Nick Mullins

194
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: is having to deal with, Like wouldn't you rather have

195
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:55,480
Speaker 1: had the player when you also have someone like C. J.

196
00:10:55,559 --> 00:10:58,199
Speaker 1: Bethro We could go on and on. It's a it's

197
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: a it's a topic that that is is one that

198
00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,400
Speaker 1: I I've I feel very I don't want to stay

199
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,240
Speaker 1: passionate about, but I just think that the way of

200
00:11:06,280 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: the NFL has changed, and there's a narrative thinking one

201
00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:11,679
Speaker 1: way when actually it's it's reality, and that that can

202
00:11:11,760 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 1: end up carrying us way off base. So I want

203
00:11:14,440 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: to bring us back to the fantasy. I do have

204
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,920
Speaker 1: to bring up two situations before we look ahead for

205
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: what's happening in week fifteen. Because you could hear Mike

206
00:11:24,120 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: weeknights on Fox Sports Radio it's the Jason Smith Show

207
00:11:26,920 --> 00:11:29,520
Speaker 1: with Mike Harmon. You could hear me during the week

208
00:11:29,559 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 1: on the Doug Gottlieb Show. I do the news reports

209
00:11:33,040 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: and Doug Show do some segments with him. Doug told

210
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: me that he won his fantasy game this week because

211
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:43,679
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson came back out on the field on Monday night.

212
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: And I said, that's an amazing story, and I said,

213
00:11:47,240 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to share it on the podcast. But think

214
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:51,040
Speaker 1: of that, like, think about like you're sitting there in

215
00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,200
Speaker 1: the mar Jackson's now the locker room with two minutes

216
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:57,080
Speaker 1: to go, never necessarily really like fathomed like you're just

217
00:11:57,160 --> 00:11:59,880
Speaker 1: probably thinking all hope is lost, and all of a

218
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,600
Speaker 1: sudden he runs out, puts his helmet on. Not only

219
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:06,280
Speaker 1: that throws a touchdown. Talk about like the euphoria that

220
00:12:06,320 --> 00:12:08,839
Speaker 1: you would have is amazing. Now there's the flip side

221
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: of that. What I gotta text. Euro Jacks is a

222
00:12:11,760 --> 00:12:14,360
Speaker 1: loyal listener of Fox Sports Radio, told me that in

223
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: that same game, there was a Jarvis Landry pass that

224
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:20,920
Speaker 1: was ruled and incompletion, but then ruled the lateral, and

225
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,920
Speaker 1: because the lateral wasn't caught, it was ruled a fumble

226
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: and Jarvis Landry was credited with the fumble and lost

227
00:12:28,480 --> 00:12:32,720
Speaker 1: by less than a point because of that stat correction.

228
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:35,640
Speaker 1: Now that's a kick of the you know what. So

229
00:12:35,760 --> 00:12:40,000
Speaker 1: you have the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat,

230
00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:43,920
Speaker 1: and fantasy football all in a span of one night

231
00:12:43,920 --> 00:12:46,440
Speaker 1: in Cleveland. It's too great fantasy stories that I wanted

232
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: to share because I just thought they were so unique.

233
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: A lot of stories going out of the the last

234
00:12:51,800 --> 00:12:53,839
Speaker 1: couple of minutes of that game, no question, a lot

235
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:58,079
Speaker 1: of great fantasy, uh fantasy talk, but also hot take

236
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: nonsense when it comes to blow v eating on radio

237
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:04,040
Speaker 1: and television, So it was a great thing. Uh. The

238
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:09,439
Speaker 1: gambling community certainly rallied around it with that final play

239
00:13:09,520 --> 00:13:12,800
Speaker 1: and the safety incurred uh and everything that flowed out

240
00:13:12,800 --> 00:13:16,840
Speaker 1: of that. But for fantasy purposes, yeah, fantastic finish and

241
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,199
Speaker 1: you had the Lamar Jackson points. Maybe Mark Andrews sorry Lee,

242
00:13:22,760 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: helped you get over because he had been quiet and

243
00:13:26,840 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: not a monster game. But you know, when we talk

244
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: about the NFL, and I think fantasy is the same

245
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:36,240
Speaker 1: way a lot of leagues decided by seven or less points,

246
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,679
Speaker 1: and that that's the way it goes. I certainly can

247
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: look at my rosters and and come up with a

248
00:13:42,520 --> 00:13:45,720
Speaker 1: whole season's worth of games decided one way or the

249
00:13:45,720 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: other by that fraction, some by seven tenths of a

Speaker 1: Looking ahead to week fifteen in the National Football League,

259
00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:31,280
Speaker 1: Ladies and gentleman, welcome Saturday Football. I don't know why

260
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:33,480
Speaker 1: I had such a time tough time saying gentlemen, but

261
00:14:33,560 --> 00:14:37,560
Speaker 1: I just did. Ladies and gentlemen, Saturday Football is here

262
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: a week fifteenth of the National Football League. Bills and

263
00:14:41,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: Bronco start things off. Then you have the Panthers and

264
00:14:43,920 --> 00:14:49,040
Speaker 1: Packers again. Mike, no surprise to this podcast, but not

265
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: likely to see Christian McCaffrey on Saturday Night. Downgraded to

266
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: doubt four. Mike Davis, here is your fantasy playoff opportunity.

267
00:14:58,080 --> 00:15:00,920
Speaker 1: Green Bay generous against the Ron Dave is still active

268
00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,360
Speaker 1: in the passing game. Uh, you'll have DJ Moore back

269
00:15:04,400 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: and activated, so perhaps a little bit a balance back

270
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: in that Carolina team. Uh. Look, I like Saturday Football,

271
00:15:12,360 --> 00:15:16,080
Speaker 1: except this Saturday is a lot of college football conference

272
00:15:16,200 --> 00:15:20,560
Speaker 1: championship games. So it's gonna be a lot to take in. Absolutely.

273
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:22,840
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got it from for us here on

274
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:26,280
Speaker 1: the West Coast nine am and going all the way

275
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,080
Speaker 1: through and Bill's Broncos. To me, unless I'm a Josh

276
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:34,240
Speaker 1: Allen or Stefon Diggs player, then that I'm sitting down

277
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:39,360
Speaker 1: and watching Saturday uh Saturday afternoon, and by the way,

278
00:15:39,680 --> 00:15:43,400
Speaker 1: in my league that I'm still alive in, there's no

279
00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: factors in that game. So yeah, the college game may

280
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: distract somewhat, but for many who just want the NFL

281
00:15:50,440 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: and maybe weren't into college, Saturday gives you a bit

282
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,840
Speaker 1: of an opportunity to take in some NFL football, and

283
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: then it just makes the Sunday ticket picture a little

284
00:15:59,160 --> 00:16:02,640
Speaker 1: bit lighter, and you're when you're going on Sunday not

285
00:16:02,720 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: having to follow too many games, and then of course

286
00:16:05,320 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: the big one on Sunday, Chiefs and Saints. I'm sure

287
00:16:08,280 --> 00:16:12,000
Speaker 1: we're gonna hit all that. Drew Brees situation with New Orleans,

288
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,160
Speaker 1: Washington situation with Alex Smith not likely to have Antonio

289
00:16:16,240 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: Gibson against Seattle. Jalen Hurts is back at the starting

290
00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 1: quarterback Phill the Philadelphia Eagles for the second straight week.

291
00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 1: I'm sure we will dive into those topics and more

292
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: with Mike's Rankings, Hot Plays, Cold Source, and Ninja's All

293
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:32,720
Speaker 1: for Week fifteen. Mike let's start with the rankings. Your

294
00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: top five rankings at the quarterback position heading into this weekend. Well,

295
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:42,240
Speaker 1: Doug's story he survives in advances. He's gonna love this

296
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:44,880
Speaker 1: because I've got him number one going up against Jacksonville.

297
00:16:45,200 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: Even with the wide receivers all as we record this

298
00:16:48,760 --> 00:16:53,520
Speaker 1: podcast on the COVID UH injury list, there's still a

299
00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: two touchdown favorite against Jacksonville and Gardner Minshew uh re

300
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: establishing that identity the game in Lamar being able to

301
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:06,000
Speaker 1: run the football absolutely huge. The top spot. Number two

302
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:11,240
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers against Carolina. UH, the aforementioned Josh Allen against Denver.

303
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,359
Speaker 1: Lots of videos by me and UH probably a bunch

304
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,560
Speaker 1: of T shirts to come with me holding up posters

305
00:17:18,600 --> 00:17:21,560
Speaker 1: celebrating Josh Allen. UH. Number four my homes going up

306
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:23,639
Speaker 1: against New Orleans. This one you hang a star on

307
00:17:24,200 --> 00:17:27,440
Speaker 1: because does that New Orleans defense show us what they

308
00:17:27,480 --> 00:17:31,440
Speaker 1: did for several weeks or they well more in line

309
00:17:31,480 --> 00:17:33,800
Speaker 1: with what we saw last week. UH. A Number five

310
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:37,960
Speaker 1: Ryan Tannehill going up against those Detroit Lions. I want

311
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,560
Speaker 1: people to pay attention to Mike's quarterback rankings in these

312
00:17:41,600 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: scenarios because there's there's just there's something that I that

313
00:17:46,080 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 1: I see in this and now that you've kind of

314
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:56,280
Speaker 1: absorbed it, Rogers great season, MVP season, Mahomes MVP season,

315
00:17:56,800 --> 00:17:59,440
Speaker 1: expect Lamar to have a big game. Then you've got

316
00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:02,199
Speaker 1: Josh Allen, as you said, candidate for an m v P.

317
00:18:03,200 --> 00:18:06,800
Speaker 1: And then you have Ryan Tannehill. And what I'm just

318
00:18:06,840 --> 00:18:10,080
Speaker 1: gonna say is, I think one of the reasons that

319
00:18:10,160 --> 00:18:13,439
Speaker 1: you have Tannehill in the spot that you do is

320
00:18:13,560 --> 00:18:17,320
Speaker 1: not just because he's playing the Lions, but because of

321
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: other quarterbacks that could be of that number five position,

322
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:25,359
Speaker 1: their matchups maybe aren't as favorable in Week fifteen. And

323
00:18:25,400 --> 00:18:27,919
Speaker 1: I'm looking at you, Russell Wilson, and I I don't want

324
00:18:27,920 --> 00:18:29,840
Speaker 1: to take away out of your cold sores or anything,

325
00:18:30,119 --> 00:18:33,560
Speaker 1: but I'm looking at Deshaun Watson. I'm looking at guys

326
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:37,639
Speaker 1: that you would look at their matchups and say, oh okay,

327
00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,920
Speaker 1: oh wait a second here this week. I think you've

328
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,520
Speaker 1: got some of that in Week fifteen. So you're gonna

329
00:18:43,520 --> 00:18:45,760
Speaker 1: play your big, big studs. But it's the guys who,

330
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 1: in my mind, who are five through ten, maybe every

331
00:18:48,119 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 1: week they may want to put the pause button on

332
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: this week just because of who they're playing. Yeah, it

333
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,720
Speaker 1: get's a little more difficult, right when you start looking

334
00:18:54,760 --> 00:18:58,040
Speaker 1: at all, right, Philadelphia with Kyler Murray, if he's not

335
00:18:58,080 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: gonna run the football takes a bit of a hit, right.

336
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:04,520
Speaker 1: So either, even though Philly had struggled for a good

337
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:07,879
Speaker 1: chunk of the season, you're you're kind of muting or

338
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: lowering what that ceiling is. And I'm not taking a

339
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,080
Speaker 1: Kyler Murray hyped joke because I'm not a tall man,

340
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: so I don't do that. But Russell Wilson against Washington,

341
00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:21,480
Speaker 1: he's not been great the last couple of weeks. I

342
00:19:21,480 --> 00:19:24,879
Speaker 1: think that would be the understatement. Uh, and going up

343
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:27,480
Speaker 1: against that front, they're gonna give him fits. You still

344
00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:29,960
Speaker 1: got your all your running backs around the injury report,

345
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:33,600
Speaker 1: expected to go, but you're not getting true value and

346
00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:36,720
Speaker 1: balance their Brady's right on the cusp of the top

347
00:19:36,800 --> 00:19:39,760
Speaker 1: five going up against Atlanta, a great matchup. And then

348
00:19:39,800 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: you got Taysom Hill going up against Kansas City. I

349
00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:46,560
Speaker 1: don't am I banking on rushing touchdowns. I guess what

350
00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,080
Speaker 1: or garbage time. I don't know that I can count

351
00:19:50,119 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: on the garbage time with Taysom Hill as I might

352
00:19:52,880 --> 00:19:57,879
Speaker 1: with other quarterbacks. Right because of the limited exposure. And

353
00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: yes he was great against Atlantic t Why but I'm

354
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,000
Speaker 1: not sure what I'm gonna get with Tannehill. The other

355
00:20:03,040 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 1: thing that plays is a quarterback who might not go

356
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,240
Speaker 1: on Sunday, which means Tennessee's got the ball and advantageous

357
00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:13,639
Speaker 1: field position. So maybe an extra possession with a short

358
00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:16,280
Speaker 1: field or two for Ryan Tannehill as well. Let's get

359
00:20:16,320 --> 00:20:19,879
Speaker 1: to the running backs for week fifteen. The top five

360
00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:24,480
Speaker 1: on your list? Mike ready, how about Jonathan Taylor. It's

361
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:28,960
Speaker 1: your time number one against the Planet Houston because they're

362
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: about ready to be done. Uh, Derrick Henry going up

363
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:34,680
Speaker 1: against Detroit. Uh, you got Aaron Jones going up against Carolina,

364
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:37,280
Speaker 1: still generous against the run. For all we talk of

365
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:41,199
Speaker 1: Rogers and Davante Adams, Jones still putting up big numbers. Uh.

366
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:43,960
Speaker 1: Cam Akers gets a spot in the top five for

367
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,360
Speaker 1: me this week going up against those New York Football Jets.

368
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 1: And then David Montgomery. Ain't no, I don't expect to

369
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: repeat of a huge run like he did last week

370
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,199
Speaker 1: to basically put you into the top five before you

371
00:20:56,240 --> 00:21:00,000
Speaker 1: did any other work or broke a sweat. But against Minnesota,

372
00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:02,919
Speaker 1: to think you'll have some opportunities as a runner and receiver.

373
00:21:03,359 --> 00:21:07,160
Speaker 1: Two of the top five backs rookies in the rankings.

374
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:10,119
Speaker 1: So the youth of the National Football League being served.

375
00:21:10,160 --> 00:21:12,040
Speaker 1: Let's get over to the wide receivers for the top

376
00:21:12,080 --> 00:21:15,160
Speaker 1: five ones in week fifteen. I always feel bad when

377
00:21:15,200 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: I say Davante Adams and like, all right, yeah, it's

378
00:21:18,080 --> 00:21:22,959
Speaker 1: Davante Adams. But ninety one catches already just absolutely astounding. Uh.

379
00:21:23,040 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 1: Number two A J. Brown going up against those Detroit lines.

380
00:21:26,160 --> 00:21:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have Tannehill. Hi, I'm taking Brown with him.

381
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: Number three Stefon Diggs go up against Denver. I think

382
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: you can go to the box and one on him.

383
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,439
Speaker 1: He's still gonna catch it. Uh. Tyreek Hill against New Orleans.

384
00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:41,199
Speaker 1: Why because you gotta figure out how to stop Travis Kelsey.

385
00:21:41,280 --> 00:21:44,400
Speaker 1: Pick your poison people. Uh. And number five Allen Robinson's

386
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,919
Speaker 1: he a second bear makes it against that Minnesota secondary

387
00:21:47,960 --> 00:21:51,000
Speaker 1: and part of this and you'll hear Mitch Drabinski's name later. Uh.

388
00:21:51,040 --> 00:21:54,800
Speaker 1: They get no pressure up front, absolutely none, which means

389
00:21:54,840 --> 00:21:57,919
Speaker 1: plenty of time, especially now that they're moving the pocket

390
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: a little bit for Trabinsky. For Robin's in the break

391
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:04,560
Speaker 1: free and make some plays. Tyreek Hill is interesting to

392
00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:08,119
Speaker 1: me for a couple of reasons. Number one, we know

393
00:22:08,160 --> 00:22:11,320
Speaker 1: how great and dynamic he is, because he really is.

394
00:22:12,520 --> 00:22:15,960
Speaker 1: He he has done damage as of late. Okay, these

395
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: are the These are the touchdown totals dating back to

396
00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: the last week in October one two to one, three

397
00:22:23,320 --> 00:22:26,440
Speaker 1: zero one like this. You know, guys been in the

398
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:29,440
Speaker 1: end zone fourteen times this season, but also you've had

399
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:33,919
Speaker 1: eighteen targets, fourteen targets, fifteen targets, eleven targets. He had

400
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:36,960
Speaker 1: the Buccaneers game, which we know was huge. Tyreek Hill

401
00:22:37,040 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: didn't get off to a great start to the season,

402
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: but it was salvaged by touchdowns at times. Now it

403
00:22:43,440 --> 00:22:47,840
Speaker 1: seems like Kansas City really is is involving him and

404
00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:52,320
Speaker 1: a score by Tyreek Hill in my mind, Mike, because

405
00:22:52,359 --> 00:22:55,119
Speaker 1: of how it's done, because it's usually a backbreaker. It's

406
00:22:55,200 --> 00:22:57,960
Speaker 1: usually for a lot of yards, so much more of

407
00:22:58,000 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 1: a backbreaker to an opposing team than Travis Kelsey. Like

408
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,399
Speaker 1: Kelsey is almost death by a thousand paper cuts in

409
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:08,439
Speaker 1: away when you're comparing to Tyreek Hill, what you're watching,

410
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:11,000
Speaker 1: because you know, Hill is just like that, not that

411
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:14,640
Speaker 1: Travis Kelsey isn't freaking awesome because he is, especially in fantasy.

412
00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:18,359
Speaker 1: But there's just different fields of of when Kansas City

413
00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:22,280
Speaker 1: scores on how those scores hit the opposing teams. Well,

414
00:23:22,320 --> 00:23:25,919
Speaker 1: those quick strikes right where you think you've you've gotten

415
00:23:25,960 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: their number and you're playing them well, and then they

416
00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:32,440
Speaker 1: just explode for you know, three scores in a six

417
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:35,640
Speaker 1: minute block. Right, we've seen that how many times this year?

418
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,080
Speaker 1: All right? They're just grinding it out? Is this the

419
00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:42,240
Speaker 1: time they get beat? All right? It's like the gladiator

420
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,359
Speaker 1: line at my signal unleash. Hell, all right, we've been

421
00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,520
Speaker 1: playing with these guys for a while. Let's put them away.

422
00:23:47,840 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: And then all of a sudden he's back flipping into

423
00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,560
Speaker 1: the end zone after a seventy yard sprint. So yeah,

424
00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:56,840
Speaker 1: And and Travis Kelsey to me is just it's just

425
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: fun to watch guys that size, that skillful, and once

426
00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,840
Speaker 1: he gets into the open field, it doesn't look like

427
00:24:06,920 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: he's moving at the speed he is, but the separation

428
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,320
Speaker 1: at that position is so great. Uh. Smith and I

429
00:24:14,359 --> 00:24:17,080
Speaker 1: were doing kind of the if you can't take a

430
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:19,760
Speaker 1: quarterback for m v P, let's talk and and have

431
00:24:19,840 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: a conversation. Now, my number one was Aaron Donald. Uh.

432
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,640
Speaker 1: And then we got into the running backs. I talked

433
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 1: about Stefon Digs a little bit, but I'm like, what

434
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: about Travis Kelsey. As much as we love my homes,

435
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:32,399
Speaker 1: how much of a difference maker it is to have

436
00:24:32,520 --> 00:24:34,560
Speaker 1: a guy running the scenes, you know, like when Gronk

437
00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,359
Speaker 1: was healthy all those years ago, and the safety has

438
00:24:37,359 --> 00:24:40,679
Speaker 1: got to figure out what the he's gonna do with him?

439
00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:42,920
Speaker 1: Meaning you got one in one coverage and if your

440
00:24:42,960 --> 00:24:45,920
Speaker 1: wide receivers any good at all, you can just lob

441
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:48,560
Speaker 1: it up and he's just gonna run under it and score.

442
00:24:48,920 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: And that's what you have with Patrick Mahomes, you know,

443
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:53,200
Speaker 1: that little flick of the risk that he does. Those

444
00:24:53,240 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: were the rankings, the top five rankings at the quarterback,

445
00:24:55,880 --> 00:24:58,080
Speaker 1: running back, and wide receiver position. Let's get to the

446
00:24:58,119 --> 00:25:02,320
Speaker 1: hot plays for week fifteen. Alright, let's go my weekly

447
00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:06,160
Speaker 1: love letter to Philip Rivers going up against Houston. Uh.

448
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: We've also got t Y Hilton. Look, I'm gonna keep

449
00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600
Speaker 1: banging that drum. We've been on him for over a

450
00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,320
Speaker 1: month and he has not let us down another opportunity

451
00:25:14,320 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: here against the Houston secondary. How about Jared Goff against

452
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,840
Speaker 1: the Jets as a back end QB one. I know

453
00:25:19,960 --> 00:25:23,200
Speaker 1: some will have reticence given his up and down type

454
00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:26,439
Speaker 1: season and the greatness of late of cam Akers, but

455
00:25:26,520 --> 00:25:29,159
Speaker 1: I wanted to look at imagined Mitchell Trobinsky won't belabor

456
00:25:29,200 --> 00:25:33,720
Speaker 1: the point Brandon Ayuk going up against the Dallas Cowboys

457
00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:38,280
Speaker 1: and j K. Dobbins going up against Jacksonville. He's the leader.

458
00:25:38,320 --> 00:25:39,840
Speaker 1: He got him a little bit of gus and a

459
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:42,159
Speaker 1: lot of lamar. Uh. It was a good run for

460
00:25:42,280 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: mark Ingram. I gotta say I salute him. Uh. With

461
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,919
Speaker 1: Mike Davis, we talked about a little bit earlier the

462
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:53,960
Speaker 1: greatness of Cole Beasley and then off this news which

463
00:25:54,200 --> 00:25:57,720
Speaker 1: really is curious to me. Uh. James Bradberry went to

464
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:03,760
Speaker 1: the COVID list for the the Giants, which means do

465
00:26:03,880 --> 00:26:07,679
Speaker 1: you go Jarvis Langrye Nab going Richard Higginson and thinking

466
00:26:07,720 --> 00:26:10,399
Speaker 1: there's some some paydirt there. Maybe you don't trust it

467
00:26:10,480 --> 00:26:13,120
Speaker 1: in a standard Fantasy league, but I'll take a look

468
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:16,439
Speaker 1: at him certainly in DFS with some value to be have.

469
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 1: Those are the hot plays. Guys that you may not

470
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:22,080
Speaker 1: hear in Mike's rankings, but guys that you should think about.

471
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,720
Speaker 1: Putting in your lineups. Let's get to the flip side

472
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,720
Speaker 1: of that coin. The guys you don't want to touch,

473
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,080
Speaker 1: you don't want to see, you don't want anything to

474
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,760
Speaker 1: do with the cold sores. For Week fifteen, the America's

475
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: love Affair with two a tongue of voloa. Uh. He

476
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: gets the unique pleasure of having the greatness of Belichick

477
00:26:39,640 --> 00:26:43,160
Speaker 1: against rookie quarterbacks on him. So no, thank you. Although

478
00:26:43,160 --> 00:26:48,200
Speaker 1: GHASICKI was back at practice saying there's unfinished business. I

479
00:26:48,240 --> 00:26:49,879
Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what that means, Dan, but

480
00:26:50,480 --> 00:26:52,920
Speaker 1: I dig it. Uh. Deante Johnson, he was a guy

481
00:26:52,920 --> 00:26:55,240
Speaker 1: that's kind of a coin flip, right. Do they try

482
00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,000
Speaker 1: to feed him to get him out of his doll

483
00:26:57,080 --> 00:27:00,360
Speaker 1: drums and sadness for all the drops? Or or does

484
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: he lose more catches and targets to the steady handed

485
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: James Washington. Uh? In this case for a fantasy playoff,

486
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm I'm looking and leaning towards the ladder and James

487
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:16,200
Speaker 1: Washington's giant hands. We talked about tough quarterback plays Matt

488
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:19,000
Speaker 1: Ryan against Tampa can't do it. And then two running

489
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,840
Speaker 1: backs Clyde Edwards Hilaire. Oh, how we knew you and

490
00:27:21,920 --> 00:27:24,240
Speaker 1: loved you so much early in the season, going up

491
00:27:24,200 --> 00:27:27,199
Speaker 1: against New Orleans Front looking for a little redemption, No

492
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:30,600
Speaker 1: thank you. And then Ezekiel Elliott, why because Tony Pollard

493
00:27:30,680 --> 00:27:33,879
Speaker 1: stealing his job going up against the San Francisco Front.

494
00:27:34,280 --> 00:27:37,800
Speaker 1: Zeke also dealing with some injury issues limited in practice

495
00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:41,479
Speaker 1: this week, so maybe another reason to stay away from him. Alright,

496
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:46,280
Speaker 1: time for some imaging, because it's time for Fantasy NINJAA

497
00:27:47,960 --> 00:27:52,280
Speaker 1: there it is, Fantasy Ninja's. Maybe some sneaky plays for

498
00:27:52,440 --> 00:27:55,240
Speaker 1: week fifteen. Well, we always got to find a little

499
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:59,639
Speaker 1: bit of value. How about trade and Williams? Why because

500
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,680
Speaker 1: Vanni Bard fumbled and opened the door for the youngster

501
00:28:04,160 --> 00:28:06,960
Speaker 1: out of Texas. A and M twelve carries forty nine yards,

502
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,880
Speaker 1: three catches fourteen yards against Dallas. Roll the dice here

503
00:28:11,880 --> 00:28:14,439
Speaker 1: as a back end number two for the double digit

504
00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 1: touch count. That maybe I'm also you know, going to

505
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:21,880
Speaker 1: the not I gave Kyler Murray earlier. He stands five eight.

506
00:28:21,960 --> 00:28:25,560
Speaker 1: He's a he's a fire plug Dan, so I celebrate

507
00:28:25,640 --> 00:28:29,119
Speaker 1: his whole catalog. IRV Smith going up against Chicago fourth

508
00:28:29,160 --> 00:28:32,919
Speaker 1: most Fantasy points allowed, So it's a position we're always

509
00:28:32,920 --> 00:28:35,160
Speaker 1: trying to find a diamond in the rough. You got

510
00:28:35,160 --> 00:28:38,520
Speaker 1: one there. You've got Gabriel Davis against a banged up

511
00:28:38,760 --> 00:28:43,120
Speaker 1: Denver secondary for sure. And then I mentioned Nick Mullins earlier.

512
00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:46,000
Speaker 1: He's won a couple of games to put mass Smith

513
00:28:46,040 --> 00:28:51,040
Speaker 1: and I in this crazy experts celebrity league into the playoffs.

514
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:53,280
Speaker 1: Thank you Lamar for coming back so we don't have

515
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:56,960
Speaker 1: to start him anymore. But an opportunity against Alice. Those

516
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: were your hot plays gold Source and Ninja's four weeks fifteen.

517
00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,560
Speaker 1: Time for me to uh lend a little information to

518
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:13,239
Speaker 1: your fantasy squad. Three to give me one reason. This

519
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: is where I usually give you one reason to start

520
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:18,480
Speaker 1: a guy or bench a guy. This week, I'm actually

521
00:29:18,520 --> 00:29:20,920
Speaker 1: going to give you a reason to start two guys.

522
00:29:21,480 --> 00:29:24,600
Speaker 1: Hopefully it will help your lineup in one way. Now,

523
00:29:24,680 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: Mike kind of stole my thunder with this one because

524
00:29:26,840 --> 00:29:30,080
Speaker 1: he put him in his hot plays Jared Goff against

525
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,240
Speaker 1: the New York Jets. I say, startom Rams, trying to

526
00:29:33,240 --> 00:29:36,320
Speaker 1: get him going after a slow Week fourteen that they

527
00:29:36,320 --> 00:29:39,280
Speaker 1: had against the Patriots. So I am all about golf

528
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:42,000
Speaker 1: and it kind of then leads into my next give

529
00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,480
Speaker 1: me one reason to start a guy from something that

530
00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:47,719
Speaker 1: I mentioned earlier. I'm actually all about Taysom Hill this

531
00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:51,200
Speaker 1: week against the Chiefs. I think there's gonna be ample opportunity.

532
00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 1: And while I think it would give the Saints a

533
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,080
Speaker 1: better opportunity to win the game because I think Drew

534
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,880
Speaker 1: Brees will be able to manage the game better, I

535
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:01,880
Speaker 1: actually think that there are going to be a bunch

536
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,920
Speaker 1: of opportunities for Taysom Hill to score. And in addition

537
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:08,280
Speaker 1: to what I talked about with the quarterback matchups and

538
00:30:08,320 --> 00:30:10,760
Speaker 1: with the Wilsons and the Watson's maybe not having a

539
00:30:10,800 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: great spot. That's why I like golf, and that's why

540
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,440
Speaker 1: I like Taysom Hill. I gave you a couple of reasons,

541
00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,120
Speaker 1: kind of, but I tried to give them earlier in

542
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,480
Speaker 1: this show so I could work within my rules. But

543
00:30:19,520 --> 00:30:21,680
Speaker 1: I like golf against the Jets just to try to

544
00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: get them going as they hit the stretch run heading

545
00:30:24,200 --> 00:30:26,320
Speaker 1: into the playoffs. And I just think there's gonna be

546
00:30:26,360 --> 00:30:29,880
Speaker 1: points available for Taysom Hill. Fifty one and a half

547
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:32,680
Speaker 1: the over under on that casey New Orleans a fair

548
00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:35,680
Speaker 1: Dan so Vegas agrees. Now it's just a matter of

549
00:30:35,720 --> 00:30:38,480
Speaker 1: finding where they come uh. And while we're at it,

550
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,040
Speaker 1: why don't we mention just the New Orleans guys we

551
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,160
Speaker 1: haven't talked about quite a bit for a while. Between

552
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 1: Alvin Kimara and Michael Thomas there afterthoughts in Fantasy football

553
00:30:50,480 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: as currently constructed, I have both sitting as mid number

554
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:58,520
Speaker 1: two plays, so r B two's uh on RB two

555
00:30:58,560 --> 00:31:02,040
Speaker 1: for Kimara and even from Michael Thomas, it's tough to

556
00:31:02,280 --> 00:31:05,960
Speaker 1: argue him any higher than seventeen or eighteenth in my rankings.

557
00:31:06,640 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: I think Sean Payton the Saints, we'll want to try

558
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: to keep Patrick Mahomes off the field. That's what you

559
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:15,280
Speaker 1: that's what you try to do, and if they score,

560
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: they score. But the best defense is sometimes your offense.

561
00:31:19,040 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: And so that's why I think that no matter how

562
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:24,840
Speaker 1: the game plays out, they're gonna be opportunities for Taysom

563
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,480
Speaker 1: Hill tim running the football and trying to control that clock,

564
00:31:28,880 --> 00:31:30,920
Speaker 1: or if they do get behind the need to come back,

565
00:31:31,240 --> 00:31:34,200
Speaker 1: then it's him scrambling and getting yards and also throwing

566
00:31:34,200 --> 00:31:36,680
Speaker 1: the football. Even more, I think that's why I like

567
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:39,000
Speaker 1: taste milk, because no matter how the game plays out,

568
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:41,560
Speaker 1: I think it's gonna play into his hands. And in

569
00:31:41,600 --> 00:31:46,160
Speaker 1: getting some stats, and yeah, it's your point. Latavius Murray's

570
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,600
Speaker 1: value is almost equal to what Elvin Cameraz is. Emmanuel

571
00:31:49,640 --> 00:31:52,880
Speaker 1: Sanders is almost even to what Michael Thomas's is right now,

572
00:31:52,960 --> 00:31:55,760
Speaker 1: just because of Tasty Bills also throwing the ball down field.

573
00:31:55,760 --> 00:31:57,840
Speaker 1: So there's shots for Emmanuel Sanders as well. So a

574
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:01,120
Speaker 1: crazy turn of events in New Orleans. All right, let's

575
00:32:01,160 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: wrap this baby up. Three point conversion time, four week fifteen.

576
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:08,760
Speaker 1: As we look ahead, I'll go first, Mike, and I'll

577
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:12,640
Speaker 1: just say this Number one, I think the Eagles keep running.

578
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:15,920
Speaker 1: Mentioned Jalen Hurts and passing a little while ago after

579
00:32:15,920 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 1: the hundred yard game that he had against the Saints.

580
00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:22,080
Speaker 1: I think that continues. I think that the Eagles. I

581
00:32:22,080 --> 00:32:24,320
Speaker 1: don't think that the Eagles have turned a corner. I

582
00:32:24,320 --> 00:32:25,840
Speaker 1: don't think that it was a wake up call. What

583
00:32:25,880 --> 00:32:28,160
Speaker 1: I think it was was the Saints likely looking ahead,

584
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:30,640
Speaker 1: thinking that Jalen Hurts was making his first start and

585
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: they could they could sleep walk through that game. So

586
00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 1: I don't think that's like this is the new look Eagles.

587
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: But I do think they will continue to do their

588
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,720
Speaker 1: things that they did against the Saints, and they will

589
00:32:40,760 --> 00:32:42,840
Speaker 1: continue to have Jalen Hurts run the ball, and I

590
00:32:42,920 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: think it's going to be a problem, and I think

591
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: that Miles Sanders will have opportunities at well. Didn't have

592
00:32:47,040 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: the big run, but maybe most importantly as well as

593
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,480
Speaker 1: they got two goal line carries. So that's something for

594
00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:54,960
Speaker 1: Philadelphia against Arizona. I don't think they win the football game,

595
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:57,520
Speaker 1: but I think that they keep running Monday Night. You

596
00:32:57,600 --> 00:33:01,080
Speaker 1: mentioned Deante Johnson, James Washington, who's gonna end up maybe

597
00:33:01,080 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: trying to get on track. I actually think James Conner

598
00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,880
Speaker 1: tries to get on track for Pittsburgh. I'm gonna put

599
00:33:05,880 --> 00:33:08,840
Speaker 1: Connor at a hundred yards in a score, something he

600
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:11,760
Speaker 1: hasn't done in a long time. Earlier in the season

601
00:33:11,760 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: he was able to do so. But I'm gonna have

602
00:33:13,720 --> 00:33:16,120
Speaker 1: James Conner hit the Century Market to score on Monday

603
00:33:16,160 --> 00:33:19,000
Speaker 1: Night football. And I know this is gonna hurt your ears,

604
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:23,520
Speaker 1: but I think the Broncos throw a wrench in Allen's plans.

605
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:26,760
Speaker 1: Get that Allen Wnch, get that one. That was a

606
00:33:26,880 --> 00:33:30,280
Speaker 1: pretty bad punt. I like the Broncos to maybe mix

607
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: things up against the Bills on a weird Saturday afternoon

608
00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:35,720
Speaker 1: that maybe Josh Allen doesn't have the type of Josh

609
00:33:35,720 --> 00:33:38,360
Speaker 1: Allen game that we're used to. Alright, ready, here, here

610
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 1: we go. I'm gonna do my best to show the

611
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 1: master that I can come up with some puns as well.

612
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,560
