00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:24,800
Speaker 2: I don't know what Tuesday would.

7
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:29,960

00:00:38,920 --> 00:00:42,000
Speaker 1: of you guys who play in Week eighteen leave, leave

12
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:44,479
Speaker 1: the league. You're not playing three dimensional chess. You're just

13
00:00:44,479 --> 00:00:46,800
Speaker 1: making yourself unnecessarily difficult.

14
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 3: That's all.

15
00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:49,280
Speaker 1: That's all you're doing. No one, you're not You're not

16
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:52,519
Speaker 1: out smarting anybody but you. Anyway, for the rest of you,

17
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:55,440
Speaker 1: we're gonna help you out try to win some fantasy championships.

18
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:58,080
Speaker 1: We are going to dig into the Christmas Day and

19
00:00:58,200 --> 00:01:00,320
Speaker 1: Saturday games. We've also got some sleep. There are some

20
00:01:00,360 --> 00:01:03,160
Speaker 1: players to avoid. Plus we'll have our Bowl predictions for

21
00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: Week sixteen. How many championships are you guys in championship matchups?

22
00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 3: Are you four two?

23
00:01:10,040 --> 00:01:13,200
Speaker 2: I went from four to two because of some injuries.

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,199
Speaker 2: But I always say my frustration for later.

25
00:01:15,240 --> 00:01:17,880
Speaker 1: All right, that's fine. No, I was in three semi finals.

26
00:01:17,920 --> 00:01:20,480
Speaker 1: I made it through in one. I got trucked by

27
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 1: a couple of juggernauts the last couple of weeks. It happens,

28
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: you know, so whatever. But anyway, let's get to some news.

29
00:01:26,680 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: As always, we had our headlines to start off the show,

30
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:35,240
Speaker 1: and some quarterback news out of Minnesota. JJ McCarthy has

31
00:01:35,319 --> 00:01:38,360
Speaker 1: a hairline fracture in his throwing hand. He will not

32
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:42,400
Speaker 1: play on Christmas Day against the Detroit Lions. Will dive

33
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: into what that means a little bit later on the

34
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 1: Max Brosmer is going to get another start for Minnesota

35
00:01:48,520 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: as nine rehabs. You know, you wonder at this point

36
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:54,720
Speaker 1: does he come back at all? Four week eighteen. I

37
00:01:54,720 --> 00:01:57,320
Speaker 1: don't think it necessarily foial makes sense to bring him

38
00:01:57,320 --> 00:01:57,600
Speaker 1: back at.

39
00:01:57,760 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, at this point you would think they would shut

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:00,960
Speaker 3: him down. The one thing about this, though, is a

41
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 3: must start your lines defense, because in Brosmer's loan start,

42
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:08,000
Speaker 3: the Seahawks win for thirty fans like you get thirty

43
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,799
Speaker 3: from your defense, you're gonna win a championship.

44
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:12,040
Speaker 1: You're pretty good if you get thirty from your defense

45
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:15,320
Speaker 1: coming up this week, So no JJ McCarthy there. We'll

46
00:02:15,320 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: talk about that a little bit later. Meanwhile, news out

47
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:22,520
Speaker 1: of Pittsburgh DK Metcalf has been suspended for two games

48
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,920
Speaker 1: after physically confronting a fan in their game this past weekend.

49
00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:31,120
Speaker 1: I look, we talked a little bit about it on Monday, Lakwan.

50
00:02:31,160 --> 00:02:33,800
Speaker 1: I know you said you are not going to Calvin

51
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: Austin Roots. No, absolutely not. I mean, does this potentially

52
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: impact how you feel one way or another about Aaron

53
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 1: Rodgers this week?

54
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:44,799
Speaker 2: I think Aaron Rodgers having a Jayleen Warren and then

55
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:46,799
Speaker 2: having a kind of game, well he still has no

56
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 2: security blankets. So honestly, without DK out there, it makes

57
00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:52,640
Speaker 2: a little bit more difficult for Aaron Rodgers to find

58
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 2: pass catchers downfield. So expect a pat fire move expected,

59
00:02:56,080 --> 00:02:58,480
Speaker 2: John Newsmith. Expect those guys to kind of step up

60
00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,240
Speaker 2: at Darnell Washington like all these other pass catchers do

61
00:03:01,320 --> 00:03:03,799
Speaker 2: become in play. But the wide receivers I'm kind of

62
00:03:03,840 --> 00:03:06,160
Speaker 2: staying away from because it gets really nasty there in

63
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:07,280
Speaker 2: our aalter Smith's system.

64
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:09,440
Speaker 1: It's gonna be really cool when Brandon a yuk is

65
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,360
Speaker 1: catching passes for the Pittsburgh Steelers last year. All right,

66
00:03:12,560 --> 00:03:15,080
Speaker 1: I mean Steelers are commanders. I think that's what's happening.

67
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 3: I know, hot take. Yeah, I think Kenneth Gaden Wills

68
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:18,000
Speaker 3: their top receiver.

69
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,639
Speaker 1: And like, I don't think that's take at all. He's

70
00:03:20,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: gonna go for one.

71
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:23,280
Speaker 3: Hundred receiving yards in this one. I think at this

72
00:03:23,280 --> 00:03:24,280
Speaker 3: point that's just facts.

73
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:27,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, he could go for a hundred, Like, yeah, no,

74
00:03:27,760 --> 00:03:29,400
Speaker 1: he really could go for a hundred this week. Wouldn't

75
00:03:29,400 --> 00:03:34,640
Speaker 1: be surprised news out of Buffalo where Josh Allen is

76
00:03:34,639 --> 00:03:36,720
Speaker 1: dealing with a foot injury that has him listed as

77
00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:39,240
Speaker 1: day to day. That's sort of the bad news with this.

78
00:03:39,400 --> 00:03:42,160
Speaker 1: The good news is that he has expected to play

79
00:03:42,280 --> 00:03:44,880
Speaker 1: no surprise, obviously for the Bills. All these games are

80
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:46,920
Speaker 1: important at this point. I do love that we're showing

81
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:50,240
Speaker 1: him getting chased down by the UH by the Browns

82
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:53,320
Speaker 1: with his old thing. I'm gonna ask you this, Floriae,

83
00:03:53,320 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: and I know what you're gonna say, but you know,

84
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 1: for purposes of the show, we have to ask it anyway.

85
00:03:56,720 --> 00:03:59,680
Speaker 1: Any concerns with starting Josh Allen against Philly's defense, you're

86
00:03:59,720 --> 00:04:01,040
Speaker 1: playing him either way.

87
00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:03,640
Speaker 3: I will say this though, I do think there's a

88
00:04:03,800 --> 00:04:07,640
Speaker 3: little bit more risk with him this week than normal because, yes,

89
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:11,640
Speaker 3: this is a big game, but the Patriots play at

90
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:14,440
Speaker 3: one the Jets. The Bills are at four to twenty five.

91
00:04:14,520 --> 00:04:17,719
Speaker 3: If the Pats win and the Jets loose, I'm sorry

92
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 3: the Bills lose, they're out of the division, so like, yeah,

93
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 3: maybe that keeps them, But they also might just look

94
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,480
Speaker 3: at it as like we want Josh healthy, Like maybe

95
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:29,159
Speaker 3: they tell him not to run as much. Maybe you

96
00:04:29,160 --> 00:04:31,800
Speaker 3: don't get the tush pushing or the goal line or

97
00:04:31,839 --> 00:04:34,520
Speaker 3: something like that. But you're playing him because I think

98
00:04:34,520 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 3: this is going to be a very high scoring game.

99
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,560
Speaker 1: Yeah no, I mean, look, if you have Josh Allen,

100
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,280
Speaker 1: you're not don't overthink this, right, Like, don't come up

101
00:04:41,279 --> 00:04:45,600
Speaker 1: with some weird logic where you're like, yeah, I don't know, sure,

102
00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,679
Speaker 1: Like I gotta come up with a good face scenario.

103
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,159
Speaker 2: There's nobody you're starting over Josh, Like I can't. I

104
00:04:53,200 --> 00:04:55,039
Speaker 2: cannot look at myself and do that.

105
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:57,240
Speaker 3: I will tell you this because of what he did

106
00:04:57,360 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 3: last week. Nikola got eliminated. She looked at me today

107
00:04:59,839 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 3: and said, I'm never drafting Josh Allen again. It was like,

108
00:05:03,160 --> 00:05:03,960
Speaker 3: we'll see about that.

109
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:07,320
Speaker 1: You know what that just means she's a full fett

110
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:10,640
Speaker 1: fantasy player when when you have those like emotional outbursts

111
00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:12,080
Speaker 1: like that, and he.

112
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:13,680
Speaker 3: Got She was like, you told me all year I

113
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 3: have a good team. And because she was the lowest

114
00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 3: scorer this week, like all the bad big name players

115
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:19,680
Speaker 3: that did bad or pretty much on her team. And

116
00:05:19,720 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 3: I was like, but you were eleven and three with

117
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:24,040
Speaker 3: the most points by far, like you were a good team.

118
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,080
Speaker 3: So no, I wasn't. If I was, I wouldn't have lost.

119
00:05:27,120 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 3: All right, She's gonna remember that. And and look, I've.

120
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,920
Speaker 2: Been scarred for years where I was like, I'm never

121
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: drafting Odell Beckham because I was going to the championship

122
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,159
Speaker 2: and he decided to set out because he had quad

123
00:05:37,160 --> 00:05:39,919
Speaker 2: injuries when he was playing for the Giants, And I said,

124
00:05:40,000 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: then I will never draft Odell Beckham again.

125
00:05:42,480 --> 00:05:43,840
Speaker 3: Did he did he make it up for you?

126
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: But yes, then he was very nearly Super Bowl MVP

127
00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:47,480
Speaker 1: for your team.

128
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:49,960
Speaker 2: Yes, but I still didn't draft him in fantasy ever

129
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:50,680
Speaker 2: again after that.

130
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: Soized was really relevant fantasy, so.

131
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:56,479
Speaker 3: It all worked out.

132
00:05:56,600 --> 00:05:58,880
Speaker 1: It was so easy to avoid him at that point there.

133
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: So Yeah, basically the longest short of it is, you're

134
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: starting Josh Allen. If Josh Allen plays for the Bills,

135
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:06,040
Speaker 1: Josh Allen plays for you. Time to turn the page

136
00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,520
Speaker 1: and get you ready for Week seventeen will start with

137
00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:12,679
Speaker 1: a trio of games on Christmas Day. We also start

138
00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:16,520
Speaker 1: for we have our first touchdown odds in the first

139
00:06:16,720 --> 00:06:19,840
Speaker 1: Christmas Day game on the slate that is the Washington

140
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:23,279
Speaker 1: Commanders hosting the Dallas Cowboys at Javonte Williams top of

141
00:06:23,279 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: the list there, followed by Ceedee Lamb and George Pickens

142
00:06:25,800 --> 00:06:29,200
Speaker 1: with even odds. Chris Rodriguez Junior the only Commander to

143
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:33,720
Speaker 1: make the list there, followed by Jake Ferguson. The ferg

144
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: Daddy has slowed down quite a bit since a bick

145
00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 1: start to the season. Floria, anybody are there that you

146
00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 1: like the most or is there somebody maybe off book

147
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:42,440
Speaker 1: you like?

148
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 3: Uh No, I do think it'll. I like Davonte Williams

149
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 3: because of this matchup, but one of those two receivers

150
00:06:49,200 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 3: I think probably catches a long touch and they both

151
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,520
Speaker 3: could like the Commander's defense is just so bad that

152
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 3: I know it's the first game Christmas Day Thursday, but

153
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,880
Speaker 3: like the Cowboys gonna win peoplechampionships this week.

154
00:07:01,080 --> 00:07:05,240
Speaker 1: That's weird because the Christmas Day slate has strong vibes

155
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 1: of it was a good idea at the time. Yes,

156
00:07:07,839 --> 00:07:10,920
Speaker 1: like when they put the schedule together way back when

157
00:07:11,080 --> 00:07:15,360
Speaker 1: it was like Cowboys and Commanders, Lions and Vikings, Broncos

158
00:07:15,360 --> 00:07:17,120
Speaker 1: and Chiefs. These are all gonna be games that will

159
00:07:17,160 --> 00:07:18,560
Speaker 1: mean something at the end of the year.

160
00:07:19,080 --> 00:07:21,040
Speaker 3: They will for fat like there's a lot of big

161
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:23,960
Speaker 3: name fantasy players in these If it wasn't for fantasy,

162
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:25,800
Speaker 3: forget about Yeah.

163
00:07:25,680 --> 00:07:28,600
Speaker 2: No, I mean qubs man, we're down the QB three season, baby,

164
00:07:28,680 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 2: let's go well.

165
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 1: Speaking of which, as we look further into this Cowboys

166
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:35,840
Speaker 1: Commander's game, Josh Johnson I was getting most of the

167
00:07:35,880 --> 00:07:39,200
Speaker 1: snaps at practice during the week because Marcus Mariota and

168
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:42,000
Speaker 1: a couple of injuries, including a swollen hand. I believe

169
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: he got it stepped on during the game last week.

170
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:48,080
Speaker 1: So Washington not sure if Mariota is gonna be available.

171
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: I'm gonna ask you, lakwan Is, Terry McLaurin startable without

172
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,160
Speaker 1: Marcus Mariota. Furthermore, is any commander really startable if it's

173
00:07:56,280 --> 00:08:01,360
Speaker 1: Josh Johnson at quarterback? Terry Nyner's legend Josh jon I'm.

174
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 2: About to say, I mean, look, yeah, he's been all

175
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,280
Speaker 2: he's been outside for a while, But I would say

176
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:09,560
Speaker 2: this man with Terry, it gives me a lot of

177
00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 2: vibes like just get away if you can. Because only

178
00:08:12,320 --> 00:08:15,120
Speaker 2: one target winning Josh Johnson got in and a lot

179
00:08:15,160 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 2: of those targets that Josh Johnson distributed out were close

180
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,240
Speaker 2: to the line of scrimmage. I'm not expecting him to

181
00:08:20,280 --> 00:08:22,920
Speaker 2: get these chunk yards where Terry can return back as

182
00:08:22,960 --> 00:08:25,840
Speaker 2: wide receiver one production let it, don't let alone wide

183
00:08:25,880 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 2: receiver two, where I think Deebo becomes more startable than

184
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:30,960
Speaker 2: to Terry McLaurin in this game because we know those

185
00:08:30,960 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 2: short little dump off underneafs are going to go to him.

186
00:08:33,520 --> 00:08:36,640
Speaker 2: I think Jerrman McNichols in deeper leagues even becomes you know,

187
00:08:36,760 --> 00:08:39,600
Speaker 2: interesting as a guy for checkdowns because when Josh Johnson

188
00:08:39,640 --> 00:08:41,320
Speaker 2: got in there, man, I mean there was one play

189
00:08:41,360 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 2: on that interception. I don't know what he was doing.

190
00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: I don't know what he was looking at he had

191
00:08:46,160 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 2: the checkdown, but he decided to go to Traylon Burks,

192
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:51,040
Speaker 2: and that was the wrong decision. You should have just

193
00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,319
Speaker 2: ran out the pocket or took the checkdown. So I'm

194
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:56,120
Speaker 2: worried about the QB decision making here in this game,

195
00:08:56,200 --> 00:08:58,160
Speaker 2: even with the soft matchup with the secondary with the

196
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,960
Speaker 2: Dallas Cowboys. But yeah, he's getting out of my lineups

197
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:02,079
Speaker 2: if I have other options.

198
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:04,680
Speaker 1: Well, what Josh Johnson looked like last week was a

199
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: guy who had thrown five whole passes for the over

200
00:09:07,400 --> 00:09:08,880
Speaker 1: the last three seasons.

201
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:13,240
Speaker 2: Yeah, NFL, you know, and I'm not expecting anything different

202
00:09:13,400 --> 00:09:16,280
Speaker 2: this week. On a short week and it's the championship, folk,

203
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:19,040
Speaker 2: I cannot put my trust into a Josh Johnson or

204
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 2: Terry McLaurin.

205
00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's that's rough man. It's been a rough

206
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:24,679
Speaker 1: year for for Terry McLaurin. It's been a rough year

207
00:09:24,679 --> 00:09:27,160
Speaker 1: for the Commanders in general. I was doing some research.

208
00:09:27,640 --> 00:09:30,920
Speaker 1: H Terry McLaurin and Jayden Daniels played three games together

209
00:09:31,040 --> 00:09:31,560
Speaker 1: all season.

210
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 2: That's insane, right, wow games right off?

211
00:09:35,440 --> 00:09:37,720
Speaker 3: Jayden two though, I've seen like like, oh, all these

212
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:39,880
Speaker 3: other quarterbacks from his class are better than him, and

213
00:09:39,960 --> 00:09:43,559
Speaker 3: so maybe, but what he was awesome last year and

214
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,040
Speaker 3: then we didn't really get him at.

215
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 1: All this year, didn't get him at all, and like

216
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 1: the injuries he had were sort of fluke injuries, I

217
00:09:48,880 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: mean just landing weird on his elbow and that sort

218
00:09:51,400 --> 00:09:54,880
Speaker 1: of Still you can't you can't prepare for stuff like that,

219
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:57,400
Speaker 1: Like there's just no way around it. So on the

220
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:00,400
Speaker 1: other side of things, the Cowboys announced earlier in the week,

221
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,839
Speaker 1: actually late last week, that they plan on playing their

222
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: starters until the end of the season. They obviously have

223
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: nothing to play for, no playoffs or anything like that.

224
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,599
Speaker 1: But we're gonna see Dak and Javonte and CD and

225
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,760
Speaker 1: George Pickens. But when I ask you about Ryan Flinoy,

226
00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 1: because h Flanoy, I mean, I don't know if either

227
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: of you have any feelings about him. Is he a

228
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:21,800
Speaker 1: DFS play Florido? Do you like him at all? Is

229
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:22,880
Speaker 1: this just like am I.

230
00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:23,600
Speaker 3: Just he.

231
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:25,360
Speaker 1: Good?

232
00:10:25,520 --> 00:10:27,880
Speaker 3: So like if you want I think he'd like DFS?

233
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,080
Speaker 3: Is where you would throw him in if I made

234
00:10:31,080 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 3: the championship, I'm not going to start him because yes,

235
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,600
Speaker 3: he's been more utilized as of late. He is banged

236
00:10:37,679 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 3: up right now, with a knee issue. But like we

237
00:10:40,720 --> 00:10:42,600
Speaker 3: know Cede Lamb is gonna get a bunch of targets.

238
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:44,240
Speaker 3: We know George Pickens is going to get a bunch.

239
00:10:44,280 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 3: Then there's Jake Ferguson. You have to worry about him

240
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: getting involved in stealing some of those short yard targets

241
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,440
Speaker 3: and those touchdown looks. So while while he's been playing

242
00:10:52,480 --> 00:10:56,600
Speaker 3: really well, I just there's too many mouths to feed,

243
00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,680
Speaker 3: even in a good matchup. Then in the championship week,

244
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 3: I think you have to avoid low floors because that

245
00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:04,960
Speaker 3: could just kill you. And his floor is very low.

246
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I feel like, you know, maybe if you

247
00:11:08,040 --> 00:11:10,880
Speaker 1: want to be weird, get crazy in a DFS, Yeah,

248
00:11:10,920 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: like that.

249
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 3: Christmas Day dfs or something like that.

250
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:17,160
Speaker 1: Have fun. Would you stream the Cowboys defense against Josh Johnson?

251
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 3: They're in play. They're not my favorite, Like the Lions

252
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:23,520
Speaker 3: are obviously a top streaming option. The Patriots against the

253
00:11:23,640 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 3: Jets are another really good streaming option. I think the

254
00:11:26,520 --> 00:11:28,920
Speaker 3: Giants are in play and the Raiders kind of you

255
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 3: can make a case for both of those defenses, but

256
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 3: I think the Cowboys kind of slide in there. The

257
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,160
Speaker 3: Bucks are another one I like to me they're like

258
00:11:36,200 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 3: a secondary streaming option. But if you could get like

259
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 3: one of the Lions or the Patriots, those are the

260
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 3: two that I would be most aggressively trying to get.

261
00:11:43,200 --> 00:11:46,120
Speaker 1: All Right, it was like a weird question, but like

262
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:49,160
Speaker 1: it actually kind of makes sense just because Josh Johnson, Yes,

263
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,720
Speaker 1: play there when we come back. A couple more Christmas

264
00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:55,600
Speaker 1: Day games on Tap plus of the Saturday games to

265
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:57,680
Speaker 1: dive into that and plenty more coming up on the

266
00:11:57,760 --> 00:12:04,839
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. In two of the Christmas Day

267
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,840
Speaker 1: triple header takes place in Minneapolis. The Detroit Lions, off

268
00:12:08,920 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 1: a really tough loss last week and backs against the

269
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:14,480
Speaker 1: wall for the playoffs, had to take on the Minnesota Vikings.

270
00:12:14,480 --> 00:12:16,600
Speaker 1: You can see that game four thirty eight pm Eastern

271
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:21,240
Speaker 1: Time on the Netflix. The Vikings have been very good

272
00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:25,000
Speaker 1: against the run so far this year. Lakwan Jamier Gibbs

273
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,520
Speaker 1: Diyd not have a great game last week. Pittsburgh pretty

274
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:31,040
Speaker 1: much shut him down. Any real concerns I'm not saying

275
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:33,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna sit jamiir games, but any worries about him

276
00:12:33,559 --> 00:12:35,160
Speaker 1: against this Vikings defense.

277
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:36,719
Speaker 2: Yeah, because last time they played early in the seed,

278
00:12:36,840 --> 00:12:39,439
Speaker 2: they shut him down, and then you have Dan Campbell

279
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:41,920
Speaker 2: on the sticks now, and he will avoid the run

280
00:12:41,960 --> 00:12:44,640
Speaker 2: at all calls. It just becomes down to check down

281
00:12:44,720 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 2: Jamiir Gibbs where that's kind of what happened last week,

282
00:12:47,559 --> 00:12:49,800
Speaker 2: Like Gibbs in the middle of the fourth quarter had

283
00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 2: six fantasy Like it was the back end of the

284
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:54,880
Speaker 2: game where he started getting a lot of those opportunities.

285
00:12:54,920 --> 00:12:57,680
Speaker 2: In PPR formats, you love those low checkdowns, So I

286
00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 2: think this is what it kind of turns into this

287
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,840
Speaker 2: game where you're just going to be watching how many

288
00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,840
Speaker 2: times they're going to be handing the rock off to

289
00:13:03,920 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 2: them or having run plays in general, because David Montgomery's

290
00:13:06,960 --> 00:13:09,079
Speaker 2: not even touching the ball back there either. So it's

291
00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,920
Speaker 2: kind of one of those things you hope that Dan

292
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:14,000
Speaker 2: Campbell doesn't avoid the run completely because the Vikings they

293
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,319
Speaker 2: have been vicious against the run. Running backs have been

294
00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 2: struggling just to put up yards on them. So I

295
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:20,640
Speaker 2: think Gigs become more of a wide receiver in here.

296
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:22,839
Speaker 2: So those PPR formats you might be in good hands.

297
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,640
Speaker 1: I just it feels like one just mentioned the Vikings

298
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:27,440
Speaker 1: have been good against running backs, but it also feels

299
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:29,040
Speaker 1: like the last couple of weeks teams are like, you

300
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:31,720
Speaker 1: know what, We're going to try to take Jamior Gibbs

301
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,160
Speaker 1: away from you apps right now.

302
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:35,600
Speaker 3: The one thing is the Vikings. They haven't They've allowed

303
00:13:35,640 --> 00:13:39,920
Speaker 3: one passing touchdowns since Week ten, like they're elite. They're

304
00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,080
Speaker 3: allowing like four points per game in the last month

305
00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:45,320
Speaker 3: to quarterbacks like fantasy. Like they're so good against the

306
00:13:45,360 --> 00:13:48,080
Speaker 3: past that I think the Lions might just have to

307
00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:50,120
Speaker 3: run because you can't throw.

308
00:13:50,440 --> 00:13:53,600
Speaker 1: Yeah, this is a big game for Detroit. I mean

309
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: now Minnesota is pretty much out of it. We talked

310
00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:59,400
Speaker 1: about they're not going to have JJ McCarthy, so they

311
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,640
Speaker 1: are playing more for pride. I no McCarthy this week.

312
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: Max Brosmer expected to get the start. Jordan Mason looking

313
00:14:08,760 --> 00:14:11,120
Speaker 1: like he's not going to play. The Lions have not

314
00:14:11,160 --> 00:14:14,120
Speaker 1: been great against or they've been okay against running backs.

315
00:14:14,160 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 1: I should say they've not been great against wide receivers.

316
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:18,600
Speaker 1: They're not being great aginst wide receivers. Would you play

317
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones in this one?

318
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:23,720
Speaker 3: I don't think I would because they've struggled against the

319
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:25,920
Speaker 3: run more As of late early in the year, they

320
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:30,040
Speaker 3: were one of the tougher matchups. But if you're the Lions. Right,

321
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:32,880
Speaker 3: You're like, let's stop the run and let's dare Max

322
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:36,480
Speaker 3: Brosman to beat us. And that's my thinking at least. Plus,

323
00:14:36,920 --> 00:14:39,200
Speaker 3: I look at Aaron Jones game log right, like I

324
00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:41,200
Speaker 3: liked him. Last week. I had him as a start

325
00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:44,120
Speaker 3: against the New York Giants in a game where Jordan

326
00:14:44,200 --> 00:14:47,200
Speaker 3: Mason left early, very early. He did have a good game,

327
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:49,600
Speaker 3: running for eighty five yards, win for ninety three totals,

328
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 3: still just eleven point three Fantasy points, and the sad

329
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,680
Speaker 3: part is that's his best game since Week ten. So,

330
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,080
Speaker 3: like the floor is less than five Fantasy points in

331
00:14:59,160 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 3: most in some weeks it's always in the single digits

332
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,920
Speaker 3: and the ceiling like he has he hasn't reached sixteen

333
00:15:05,960 --> 00:15:08,960
Speaker 3: points all year. He's twice reached fifteen. So to me,

334
00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:11,800
Speaker 3: I don't think the upside is worth the risk here. Like,

335
00:15:11,840 --> 00:15:14,400
Speaker 3: if you're in a pinch, sure he's gonna get volume.

336
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 3: You could use him there, But if I have another option,

337
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 3: then I'm guessing if you're in the championship, you have

338
00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 3: another option.

339
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:22,960
Speaker 1: I'm not looking to get to force Jones into my

340
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:25,400
Speaker 1: line up. Yeah, it's been a tough year for Aaron Jones.

341
00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: You know, I think this he's barely been relevant. This

342
00:15:28,960 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: is probably the last year we see Aaron Jones in

343
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: a relevant I.

344
00:15:31,680 --> 00:15:33,400
Speaker 2: Mean he was at our talent boot camp, so yeah,

345
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 2: he might be having plans.

346
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: For after football.

347
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,720
Speaker 3: So there you go. Mason the future.

348
00:15:37,880 --> 00:15:40,280
Speaker 2: Jordan Mason is the future man. He just gotta stay healthy.

349
00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:42,160
Speaker 2: He's got to stay healthy, and they have to improve

350
00:15:42,200 --> 00:15:44,080
Speaker 2: that old line. I mean, like Jordan Mason will be

351
00:15:44,080 --> 00:15:46,280
Speaker 2: seeing with the forty winers. We see how explosive, how

352
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 2: he can bully the trenches, like he's able to actually

353
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 2: be an RB one workers. But this old line is

354
00:15:51,800 --> 00:15:54,440
Speaker 2: just terrible. Man, he runs that outside his own scheme

355
00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:56,920
Speaker 2: that KOC wants to run. So it's like he kind

356
00:15:56,920 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 2: of fits the glove.

357
00:15:57,960 --> 00:15:59,760
Speaker 1: You know, somebody give you a dollar every time you

358
00:15:59,800 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: say that.

359
00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:01,360
Speaker 3: What what happened?

360
00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,680
Speaker 1: What did I say? It's like, cub, do you like

361
00:16:04,920 --> 00:16:06,520
Speaker 1: I want? Are you gonna like slide him a dollar

362
00:16:06,520 --> 00:16:07,800
Speaker 1: when I walk out of the room, because he was

363
00:16:07,840 --> 00:16:08,320
Speaker 1: able to slip in.

364
00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,640
Speaker 3: If we need to get like a counter in the corner,

365
00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,479
Speaker 3: that's just like forty one ers counting.

366
00:16:13,320 --> 00:16:14,080
Speaker 1: Oh the forty one.

367
00:16:14,120 --> 00:16:16,480
Speaker 2: I can't It's just I can't help myself. Sometimes I

368
00:16:16,560 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: just dislike that entire organization.

369
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Who who's in second place in the area.

370
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 3: This guy's turning the night.

371
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:27,400
Speaker 1: Who could potentially play their next five games at home?

372
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:29,560
Speaker 1: Like there's a chance that the Niners next road game

373
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:30,960
Speaker 1: might be Week two of next year.

374
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:32,560
Speaker 2: Have you guys won in the Super Bowl? It's been

375
00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:34,800
Speaker 2: a while. I mean I was just born the last

376
00:16:34,800 --> 00:16:36,440
Speaker 2: time you guys were there just saying.

377
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 3: Yeah, five.

378
00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 2: But you know a lot of your new fans have

379
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 2: not seen a Super Bowl win, so.

380
00:16:41,120 --> 00:16:42,800
Speaker 1: I've had thirty years to catch up. You haven't caught

381
00:16:42,840 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: up yet.

382
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 3: Okay, next next game? What would happen if the if

383
00:16:47,240 --> 00:16:49,560
Speaker 3: the forty nine ers beat the Seahawks and they all

384
00:16:49,600 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 3: finish with four losses, you guys are the one seed,

385
00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:52,640
Speaker 3: then yes.

386
00:16:52,560 --> 00:16:54,000
Speaker 1: Because they have the best record in the division.

387
00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,280
Speaker 3: Would but you guys are through the second Would you

388
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:56,760
Speaker 3: guys play?

389
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:01,600
Speaker 1: Who would be like you and we won? Anyway? Bronco's

390
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:04,040
Speaker 1: at Chiefs Before this show goes completely off the rails

391
00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: and I cat Broncos at Chiefs eight fifteen pm Eastern.

392
00:17:06,960 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: You see that on Prime video, a game that, again

393
00:17:09,600 --> 00:17:12,400
Speaker 1: back in May look like it was gonna be pretty special.

394
00:17:13,080 --> 00:17:15,000
Speaker 3: Now not so much.

395
00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:18,720
Speaker 1: It could be Chris Alatacun potentially starting for the Kansas

396
00:17:18,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: City Chiefs. We saw the Chiefs get carved up last

397
00:17:24,040 --> 00:17:25,520
Speaker 1: week by the Tennessee Titans.

398
00:17:25,560 --> 00:17:26,960
Speaker 3: It was not very good.

399
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,439
Speaker 1: The Broncos wide receivers have been sort of hard to

400
00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,760
Speaker 1: figure out. How many of them would you start? How

401
00:17:33,760 --> 00:17:36,640
Speaker 1: deep would you go on Broncos wide receivers this week,

402
00:17:36,840 --> 00:17:38,880
Speaker 1: pauls I would say this.

403
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 2: I would go to Courtland Sutton and Troy Franklin. That's

404
00:17:42,320 --> 00:17:44,400
Speaker 2: about it, because that's the only two you could really trust.

405
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,080
Speaker 2: Pat Brian is dealing with a concussion unfortunately, but he's

406
00:17:47,080 --> 00:17:49,080
Speaker 2: been looking like the wide receiver two for them, but

407
00:17:49,520 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 2: more so now Marvin Mins become one of those deeper

408
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 2: leagues plays, but you can't really trust his vibe or

409
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:57,760
Speaker 2: his opportunities. But Troy Franklin man, when't given opportunity on

410
00:17:57,800 --> 00:17:59,600
Speaker 2: the field, he shows up, as you can see in

411
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:01,399
Speaker 2: the b row Man Like. I look at Courtland Sun

412
00:18:01,520 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 2: and him as the only two wide receivers you could trust.

413
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:07,160
Speaker 2: And with Cam Wore going out there basically going out

414
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:10,000
Speaker 2: there balling against this Chief defense, I can only imagine.

415
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:10,399
Speaker 3: What Bo was about to do.

416
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look, you look good. I was watching

417
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: that game again last night and I was like, I

418
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 1: saw Marvin Memes. Remember when he was actually gonna be

419
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:21,760
Speaker 1: a thing.

420
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,480
Speaker 2: I wanted him to be a thing, but Sean Payton

421
00:18:24,480 --> 00:18:25,720
Speaker 2: refused to let him be a thing.

422
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: But it's fine.

423
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,520
Speaker 2: It's fine though, right, Like he gets sprinkled in every

424
00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:32,040
Speaker 2: now and then DFS or whatever. Basketball, he's a best

425
00:18:32,040 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 2: ball guy. Let's just say that for the rest of

426
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 2: the time that he's playing for the Broncos.

427
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:37,920
Speaker 1: That's pretty much it. Yeah, yeah, uh, Floria, are you

428
00:18:37,960 --> 00:18:40,240
Speaker 1: starting any Chiefs at all?

429
00:18:40,760 --> 00:18:44,359
Speaker 3: Nope, Like I ik starting Citta will be out tomorrow.

430
00:18:44,400 --> 00:18:46,200
Speaker 3: I wrote up for she Rice as they said, we

431
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:49,680
Speaker 3: don't know if he's gonna be Yeah. Xavier Worthy is

432
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,880
Speaker 3: absolutely like you could drop xaver Worthy at this point.

433
00:18:53,119 --> 00:18:55,439
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey, I think, is the one, and I'm facing

434
00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:59,399
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey somehow in multiple championships. I don't know how

435
00:18:59,520 --> 00:19:02,080
Speaker 3: these people got there with their one point six PPR

436
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 3: points last week from him. But now he's gonna be

437
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,800
Speaker 3: the only guy out there that the Broncos really game

438
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:12,760
Speaker 3: plan around. And the Broncos have a week to prepare

439
00:19:12,960 --> 00:19:15,919
Speaker 3: for the third string quarterback who threw his first NFL

440
00:19:16,040 --> 00:19:19,920
Speaker 3: pass last week. So yeah, I want I have the

441
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:23,080
Speaker 3: Broncos defense in a championship where I'm facing Travis Kelcey,

442
00:19:23,119 --> 00:19:25,199
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I'd rather have the Broncos defense than

443
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 3: Travis Kelcey.

444
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: Absolutely, I think the Broncos defense outscores everybody on the Chiefs.

445
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 3: Hopefully not R J. Harvey, because I also have.

446
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,880
Speaker 1: It is wild. Travis kelce is the tight end three

447
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 1: this year and.

448
00:19:36,400 --> 00:19:39,240
Speaker 3: I'm like, how really, Like, I don't know, He's gonna

449
00:19:39,240 --> 00:19:42,879
Speaker 3: get jumped by Harold Fan and Junior this week probably terribly.

450
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: Probably meant there's really there's literally five points between Travis

451
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: kelce and Harold Fan and Junior.

452
00:19:49,240 --> 00:19:51,640
Speaker 3: So very well, he's got three guys that he has

453
00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,680
Speaker 3: a chance to jump. He just needs to jump one,

454
00:19:53,880 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 3: gotta get past one.

455
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:57,400
Speaker 1: To wait.

456
00:19:57,480 --> 00:20:00,600
Speaker 3: I just realized Ferguson and Kelsey play on Christmas Day,

457
00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:03,960
Speaker 3: so you will know on Sunday what Harold Fan and

458
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:04,520
Speaker 3: Junior needs.

459
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:06,520
Speaker 1: Basically, yea, Harold Fannon is deferred and he gets the

460
00:20:06,560 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: ball in the second half, like he's gonna figure out

461
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:12,880
Speaker 1: what he has. My boy, you know you're gonna see

462
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:15,840
Speaker 1: what happens. But yeah, Broncos Chiefs again. Seems like it's

463
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:17,040
Speaker 1: gonna be a good idea and not gonna be a

464
00:20:17,119 --> 00:20:19,800
Speaker 1: good idea, uh, and probably not a good idea to

465
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: start any Kansas City players.

466
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:23,119
Speaker 3: My wife is not happy about this blonde hair thing.

467
00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 1: Oh, let that be a lesson to you. Don't don't

468
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,960
Speaker 1: make bets unsolicited. That's all you know. I'm gonna do

469
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:33,000
Speaker 1: it again just for the credit, you know, and I'm

470
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:34,639
Speaker 1: gonna stop it made a different.

471
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,959
Speaker 3: Color, like, it should be a different color. It has

472
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:37,400
Speaker 3: to be wear.

473
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:39,760
Speaker 1: It should be the primary color of the team of

474
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 1: the player.

475
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,680
Speaker 3: No, you how to die your hair Brown's orange?

476
00:20:44,920 --> 00:20:47,240
Speaker 1: I would I mean, like, you know, if there's like

477
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:49,639
Speaker 1: a Vikings tight end or something like that and you

478
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,800
Speaker 1: have to go Purpec and Concorde almost made it. I

479
00:20:51,960 --> 00:20:54,960
Speaker 1: almost pulled that Triger until they drafted gunner Helm. Ing's

480
00:20:54,960 --> 00:20:55,960
Speaker 1: blue would have been dope.

481
00:20:56,200 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 3: I love that gunner Helm scared you away, but divid

482
00:20:58,960 --> 00:21:02,240
Speaker 3: and Jok who didn't, Well he's a Taylorham guy. So

483
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,040
Speaker 3: that tells you everything about all.

484
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:07,000
Speaker 1: Right, time to get to the Saturday games. We'll start

485
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:10,240
Speaker 1: with the Texans and the Chargers. I'll see that one

486
00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:15,680
Speaker 1: here on NFL Network Saturday at four thirty pm Eastern Time, Florida.

487
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,800
Speaker 1: Which version of CJ. Stroud shows up? Well, a real

488
00:21:19,880 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 1: slow shady please stand up. It doesn't matter. Would you

489
00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:25,439
Speaker 1: start either version of CJ. Stroud against the Chargers?

490
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:29,280
Speaker 3: Is there even two versions of CJ Stroud? I feel

491
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 3: like it's CJ Stroud and then it's CJ. Stroud in

492
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,760
Speaker 3: a favorable matchup. Well, that's kind of what it is. Like, Yeah,

493
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:37,360
Speaker 3: he put up numbers against the Cardinals, he played well

494
00:21:37,400 --> 00:21:40,480
Speaker 3: against the forty nine ers. Outside of that, it's like

495
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:44,360
Speaker 3: less than thirteen Fantasy points every week, and the Chargers

496
00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,640
Speaker 3: are so tough against the past, like this game could

497
00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:50,800
Speaker 3: be a field goal battle, like if you have Fairbairn

498
00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:53,840
Speaker 3: or Dick or the kicker, like feel good about it

499
00:21:53,960 --> 00:21:56,320
Speaker 3: because they're probably gonna be like an eighteen to fifteen

500
00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,320
Speaker 3: type of game or something like that. But I originally

501
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,560
Speaker 3: had c J. Stroud as they sit this week, and

502
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 3: then I was like, is anyone even considering starting him?

503
00:22:04,320 --> 00:22:06,159
Speaker 3: And I just straight up deleted him because I'm like, no,

504
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,639
Speaker 3: if you went it this far, you're not playing c J.

505
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,080
Speaker 3: Stroud against the Chargers in a championship. Yeah, I was.

506
00:22:12,160 --> 00:22:14,280
Speaker 1: I was putting the other list of like players to

507
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,800
Speaker 1: avoid potentially this week, and I had the same thought process, like, hey,

508
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:20,840
Speaker 1: you should avoid CJ. Stroud. I'm like, everybody's gonna be yeah,

509
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: of course, like okay, so so maybe it was. It

510
00:22:27,760 --> 00:22:30,159
Speaker 1: was good for a year. I think he could kind

511
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:32,120
Speaker 1: of get you want maybe duplicate that, but I think

512
00:22:32,119 --> 00:22:32,959
Speaker 1: he can get closer.

513
00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:34,800
Speaker 3: They need to give him an whole line.

514
00:22:36,200 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 2: Maybe one more caller like Nick Hayley is great, he

515
00:22:39,119 --> 00:22:41,440
Speaker 2: comes from the McVeigh tree, but this is his first year.

516
00:22:41,520 --> 00:22:45,760
Speaker 2: There's no identity on that offense, like completely just Blandy.

517
00:22:45,800 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: They needed one more receiver to They need somebody to

518
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:48,320
Speaker 1: compliment Nico.

519
00:22:48,760 --> 00:22:49,879
Speaker 2: We need Tank back next year.

520
00:22:49,960 --> 00:22:50,040
Speaker 1: Man.

521
00:22:50,200 --> 00:22:52,960
Speaker 3: I hope he comes back. Yes, iowas take guys. They

522
00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,199
Speaker 3: could maybe become Hagen's is.

523
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: Good, Noel's good. It's like they're not hitting where they

524
00:22:58,800 --> 00:22:59,159
Speaker 2: need to go.

525
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 3: Like it's just but how like I blame the offense

526
00:23:02,320 --> 00:23:04,480
Speaker 3: a lot for that. Yeah, not all on Strout.

527
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:06,639
Speaker 1: I just I think as good as their defense as

528
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: they can focus on the offensive side of the ball

529
00:23:08,480 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 1: this offseason and try to upgrade there. On the other side,

530
00:23:11,560 --> 00:23:15,080
Speaker 1: last week, Ashton Gentz went off against this text and

531
00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:20,480
Speaker 1: everybody says, right, exactly pretty much everybody's betch. So having

532
00:23:20,640 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: seen that, would you start o Mari and Hampton this week?

533
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:23,560
Speaker 3: I would?

534
00:23:23,640 --> 00:23:26,040
Speaker 2: I think with the kamani Idell dealing with a neck injury,

535
00:23:26,240 --> 00:23:29,480
Speaker 2: Hampton gets the workhorse opportunity that we all been waiting for.

536
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,400
Speaker 2: And I think Haskins might get sprinkled in, but we've

537
00:23:32,480 --> 00:23:35,080
Speaker 2: seen a little bit of him and Kamani Videll split

538
00:23:35,160 --> 00:23:38,600
Speaker 2: that backfield in by Dell basically took over that backfield alone.

539
00:23:38,720 --> 00:23:40,840
Speaker 2: So I think the same thing happens with Hampton. So

540
00:23:40,920 --> 00:23:43,480
Speaker 2: if you have Hampton, don't hesitate put him in as

541
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:45,639
Speaker 2: your RB two RB one production could be on the

542
00:23:45,680 --> 00:23:46,600
Speaker 2: table for him this week.

543
00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:50,560
Speaker 1: Yeah, Also what Bidal probably not going to play. So yeah,

544
00:23:50,560 --> 00:23:52,159
Speaker 1: a lot of a Mari and Hampton coming up this

545
00:23:52,240 --> 00:23:56,120
Speaker 1: weekend for the Chargers Ravens at the Packers, your other

546
00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: Saturday night contess. You can see that at eight pm

547
00:23:58,640 --> 00:24:03,280
Speaker 1: Eastern time on PA Lamar Jackson dealing with what's being

548
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: called a significant back contusion. He is listed as day

549
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,560
Speaker 1: to day, aren't we all. I would think that at

550
00:24:11,640 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 1: this point it's just I mean, it just doesn't make

551
00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:17,040
Speaker 1: sense necessarily for them to try and rush him back.

552
00:24:17,200 --> 00:24:19,000
Speaker 1: Like as beat up as he's been this year, I

553
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: wouldn't be surprised if they shut him down for the

554
00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: rest of the season. But it looks like Tyler Huntley's

555
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: gonna play this week. I should I should be formal

556
00:24:27,720 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: and say Pro Bowl quarterback Tyler Huntley, who's startable in

557
00:24:32,560 --> 00:24:32,960
Speaker 1: this offense?

558
00:24:32,960 --> 00:24:33,320
Speaker 3: Florido.

559
00:24:33,400 --> 00:24:34,960
Speaker 1: If it is Huntley playing.

560
00:24:35,640 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 3: I think Zay Flowers, because Zay Flowers thrives against zone coverage.

561
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 3: He he has it's like four or five hundred more

562
00:24:44,920 --> 00:24:48,520
Speaker 3: yards against zone than any other Raven and the Packers

563
00:24:48,560 --> 00:24:51,639
Speaker 3: play zone at a top five rate in football. Plus,

564
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,240
Speaker 3: I mean, the Packers have struggled against receivers as of late.

565
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 3: Since Week twelve, they've allowed the most touchdowns and the

566
00:24:57,760 --> 00:25:01,159
Speaker 3: seventh most yards to the position. So I think he

567
00:25:01,320 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: is the only pass catcher you could play with any

568
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,080
Speaker 3: sort of confidence. I also think you played Dereck Henry

569
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:08,240
Speaker 3: because he's Dereck Henry and they're gonna give him the

570
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:11,320
Speaker 3: ball a whole bunch. But yeah, this is a game

571
00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:13,080
Speaker 3: that earlier in the year I was like, man, a

572
00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 3: lot of championships are probably gonna won't be won on

573
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 3: this game. And now it's like those are the two

574
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:20,640
Speaker 3: Ravens I feel good about, and I even Josh Jacobs included,

575
00:25:20,760 --> 00:25:22,719
Speaker 3: I don't feel really good about any of the Packers.

576
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:26,840
Speaker 1: Very quietly. Zay Flowers has had a nice season.

577
00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 3: He just gotta get touchdown.

578
00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:30,520
Speaker 1: He can't. Didn't score touchdowns. That's probably the one big

579
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:32,760
Speaker 1: frustration with him. But he had the big spike week

580
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:34,960
Speaker 1: in Week one where he had like twenty eight points.

581
00:25:35,040 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: Then he's been over twenty I think in two of

582
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:40,160
Speaker 1: his last three. In between there was a long touchdown drought,

583
00:25:40,240 --> 00:25:43,440
Speaker 1: but he's been the floor has been eleven points like

584
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: every single week.

585
00:25:44,840 --> 00:25:47,080
Speaker 3: I think he's really good in real life, but he's

586
00:25:47,119 --> 00:25:49,000
Speaker 3: one of those players I've seen on social media like

587
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,560
Speaker 3: kind of how you don't like hiring Ravens. Fans don't

588
00:25:51,640 --> 00:25:54,159
Speaker 3: like Zay Flowers because apparently once the game he'll do

589
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,119
Speaker 3: like something really weird that hurts the team. But for

590
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:58,440
Speaker 3: fantasy I think he's awesome.

591
00:25:58,560 --> 00:25:58,720
Speaker 1: Yeah.

592
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 3: First of all, I like Okay, I just don't like

593
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,320
Speaker 3: that he fumbled the ball. Does like I'm not sold

594
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:05,280
Speaker 3: that he likes Kyron.

595
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 2: When you follow the ball, you become on my bad list.

596
00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:09,760
Speaker 2: So it's one of those things I just hate when

597
00:26:09,800 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 2: he pomosed the ball in crucial moments. Like he's been

598
00:26:11,880 --> 00:26:14,040
Speaker 2: good lately. Though he's been good, he's been cooking, like

599
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:15,600
Speaker 2: him to.

600
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,200
Speaker 1: Take a walk on the four h five and rush

601
00:26:17,280 --> 00:26:20,200
Speaker 1: out as much as you know you want Jock quest

602
00:26:20,280 --> 00:26:21,160
Speaker 1: Hunter to have the job.

603
00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:23,560
Speaker 3: And it was some dark times over the summer.

604
00:26:23,600 --> 00:26:26,200
Speaker 1: Man. Yeah, but as we're talking about running backs and

605
00:26:26,280 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: Florido sort of hinted at it here, right, Josh Jacobs,

606
00:26:28,480 --> 00:26:30,680
Speaker 1: he doesn't really feel great about. He was dealing with

607
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:34,800
Speaker 1: some injuries last week. He decided to play, but it

608
00:26:34,880 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 1: ended up being Emmanuel Wilson that gave us a whole

609
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,199
Speaker 1: lot of opportunity there. So is Wilson startable even if

610
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:42,359
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs plays this.

611
00:26:42,440 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: Week, No, Like I think Josh Jacob's dealing with multiple injuries,

612
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:47,680
Speaker 2: Like if my boy is in a wheelchair, he's still

613
00:26:47,720 --> 00:26:50,040
Speaker 2: going to get fourteen touches. Like that's exactly what happened

614
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 2: last week. He's dealing with multiple injuries and he still

615
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,520
Speaker 2: split with Emmanuel Wilson. And like Wilson's great, he has

616
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 2: the talent in real life Football eighty two scrimming shards

617
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 2: last week. But you're more so looking at it an

618
00:27:00,280 --> 00:27:03,400
Speaker 2: annoying factor that Josh Shacobs just doesn't get shut down,

619
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 2: like you kind of hope that you know, they already

620
00:27:05,480 --> 00:27:07,600
Speaker 2: make their report, like, hey, Josh Shacob's done for the

621
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:09,439
Speaker 2: regular season. They're planning for a playoff so.

622
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:10,160
Speaker 3: He can get healthy.

623
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 2: But Emania Wilson does not seem like a good play

624
00:27:12,800 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 2: this week with the Ravens making those back end of

625
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,520
Speaker 2: the season adjustments like they have allowed the fifth few

626
00:27:17,640 --> 00:27:20,159
Speaker 2: is rushing yards in the last couple of games, like

627
00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 2: since we ten Actually, so it's one of those things

628
00:27:22,200 --> 00:27:24,640
Speaker 2: where the matchup isn't great and he also has Josh

629
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:27,280
Speaker 2: Jacobs to split win. Now he does not become anywhere

630
00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:28,600
Speaker 2: near the starting lineup.

631
00:27:28,359 --> 00:27:32,159
Speaker 1: This Yeah, the Josh Shakobs things is really frustrating too

632
00:27:32,240 --> 00:27:35,639
Speaker 1: because he's been so good for you down but led

633
00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:38,840
Speaker 1: Wilson ball, I mean, yeah, but obviously the Packers need

634
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: these wins too well to try and lock up a

635
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:45,119
Speaker 1: playoff spot. So it's it's just really frustrating trying to

636
00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,640
Speaker 1: navigate that whole thing. Time for a break, but when

637
00:27:48,680 --> 00:27:51,160
Speaker 1: we come back, we'll give you our fantasy stocking stuffers,

638
00:27:51,200 --> 00:27:57,200
Speaker 1: plus some bold predictions for the week. All right, time

639
00:27:57,280 --> 00:28:02,040
Speaker 1: for some fantasy stocking stuffer what we're calling sleepers this week.

640
00:28:02,240 --> 00:28:05,200
Speaker 1: Guys who you know, maybe not top of mind, but

641
00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:07,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of something extra that can help you

642
00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: win a fantasy championship here in week seventeen. So if

643
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,200
Speaker 1: you were looking at a fantasy stocking stuff for LaQuan,

644
00:28:14,280 --> 00:28:15,320
Speaker 1: who would you be looking at.

645
00:28:15,520 --> 00:28:17,600
Speaker 2: I'm looking at Tyler Algier against the Rams. Like I

646
00:28:17,720 --> 00:28:20,320
Speaker 2: pointed something now on Twitter earlier this week where I

647
00:28:20,400 --> 00:28:22,960
Speaker 2: was just basically saying, like one of the area's concerns

648
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:26,200
Speaker 2: is the mistackle rate that the Rams have allowed coming

649
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 2: out of Dubai, Like it's above league average right now

650
00:28:28,640 --> 00:28:30,960
Speaker 2: to where you have Tyler had Jeer, who is going

651
00:28:31,080 --> 00:28:33,000
Speaker 2: to be the hammer of this backfield. So I think

652
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:34,920
Speaker 2: the Falcons are going to lean on the run this game,

653
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,360
Speaker 2: try to manipulate, you know, the run game where they're

654
00:28:37,400 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 2: going to have you know, Drake London out there, Kyle

655
00:28:39,400 --> 00:28:42,720
Speaker 2: Pitts and get that play action going where Tyler Algeer

656
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:45,320
Speaker 2: left a couple of Cardinals limping off the field last week.

657
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:47,640
Speaker 2: So I think I'm looking at a really good situation

658
00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 2: where Tyler Aljeer might be in my flex this week

659
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 2: personally for my championship game against my Rams.

660
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:55,400
Speaker 1: Look, I got nothing against Tyler Algier. I don't know him.

661
00:28:55,640 --> 00:28:58,720
Speaker 1: I would imagine he's a decent guy. But can we

662
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,480
Speaker 1: not have him on the Falcons next year?

663
00:29:01,080 --> 00:29:02,320
Speaker 3: He deserves the starting job.

664
00:29:02,400 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 2: Like his rookie year, he put up one thousand yards,

665
00:29:04,680 --> 00:29:06,600
Speaker 2: like he put up a thousand yards his rookie year,

666
00:29:06,640 --> 00:29:08,680
Speaker 2: and like folks kind of looked at that as nothing,

667
00:29:08,760 --> 00:29:10,440
Speaker 2: like the dude can play like he could ball.

668
00:29:10,480 --> 00:29:15,200
Speaker 1: He he needs a shot, not next to Jon Robinson.

669
00:29:15,320 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.

670
00:29:16,320 --> 00:29:19,720
Speaker 3: Seventeen opportunities. Let him go. So let him go to Minnesota,

671
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:21,880
Speaker 3: let him go to the Rams, let him go anywhere

672
00:29:21,920 --> 00:29:23,080
Speaker 3: that needs a running back.

673
00:29:23,360 --> 00:29:25,880
Speaker 2: But we don't need a running back in Minnesota. We

674
00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 2: like Jordan Mason, chill out, I'll put.

675
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:28,040
Speaker 1: Him in it.

676
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 3: I just want Bejon free man.

677
00:29:29,920 --> 00:29:34,000
Speaker 1: It's just just freaking ball too. Like Jean Robinson.

678
00:29:35,040 --> 00:29:37,600
Speaker 3: The crazy thing is like Beijon. Look, he's amazing. I

679
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:39,680
Speaker 3: don't got to tell you that he's the RB four

680
00:29:39,760 --> 00:29:42,280
Speaker 3: on the year, but like he's doing like sixty percent

681
00:29:42,320 --> 00:29:44,280
Speaker 3: of the opportunity. Imagine if that goes up with him

682
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 3: even more, I'd be greedy for he.

683
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:49,000
Speaker 1: Morse is out here like saying, oh, Jon Robinson is

684
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: the best player in football, will treat him like it?

685
00:29:52,760 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 3: Kid kwom could attest to this. We did like a

686
00:29:55,080 --> 00:29:56,960
Speaker 3: What's Your Beef segment on a Sunday show, and I

687
00:29:57,120 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 3: just like, look, I was like, if he's the best

688
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:00,680
Speaker 3: player in the world, why you're not using him in

689
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:01,959
Speaker 3: the red zone? Why are you're not using me your

690
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 3: the goal line.

691
00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:04,400
Speaker 1: Is good in the red zone.

692
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: That's why he's not the best player in the world.

693
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: I know.

694
00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 3: Imagine Michael Jordan being like, let's give it to someone else,

695
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 3: like it's not gonna happen.

696
00:30:11,880 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: I mean, geeze, everybody else thinks their best player just

697
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:17,160
Speaker 1: gives them the ball a lot. I mean, yeah, Kyle

698
00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:19,600
Speaker 1: Shanahan built a whole play out of Christian McCaffrey. Why

699
00:30:20,120 --> 00:30:22,320
Speaker 1: did you do the same thing down there in Atlanta?

700
00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:25,640
Speaker 1: That's all I'm saying, Florida, who is your stocking stuffer

701
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:26,520
Speaker 1: for this year?

702
00:30:26,960 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 3: Ramandre Stevenson, who unfortunately is not the Patriots running back

703
00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:33,720
Speaker 3: that I thought would win you league championships, but a

704
00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,040
Speaker 3: Patriots running back is still winning people titles this week,

705
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,240
Speaker 3: I think because we saw last week Remandre turned eleven

706
00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:43,840
Speaker 3: opportunities into seventy eight yards and a touchdown. But I'm

707
00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 3: anticipating the Patriots to practice caution here. They are in

708
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:51,000
Speaker 3: the playoffs already, they beat two backup quarterbacks, they win

709
00:30:51,080 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 3: the division, they could get the buy all of that,

710
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,960
Speaker 3: But we saw what happened to Steve to Henderson last week.

711
00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,200
Speaker 3: Like I would be surprised if he ends up suiting

712
00:30:59,320 --> 00:31:02,360
Speaker 3: up this week, and if not, it is a fantastic

713
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,800
Speaker 3: matchup for Stevenson. The Jets have allowed these second most

714
00:31:04,840 --> 00:31:07,440
Speaker 3: fantasy points two running backs in the last month. I

715
00:31:07,520 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 3: think the Patriots scored a bunch of points, which obviously

716
00:31:09,920 --> 00:31:12,800
Speaker 3: leads to touchdown opportunities for him. It leads to positive

717
00:31:12,840 --> 00:31:16,760
Speaker 3: game script. And yeah, the Jets, they are just they

718
00:31:16,840 --> 00:31:18,800
Speaker 3: might be the worst team in football right now, and

719
00:31:19,000 --> 00:31:20,240
Speaker 3: you can just run.

720
00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:23,800
Speaker 1: All over them. Yeah, just in the season, That's what

721
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: it is. For the other part of Remandre is that

722
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,600
Speaker 1: he's kind of calmed the fumbling issues like that was

723
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:32,840
Speaker 1: a big thing early in the season, and that's why

724
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: I know Patriots fans are upset. I know, folks that

725
00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:37,840
Speaker 1: had Trevon Henderson were upset. It's like, how's this guy

726
00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: still getting opportunities after he's putting the ball on the ground.

727
00:31:41,360 --> 00:31:44,800
Speaker 1: He seems to have, you know, put that behind him.

728
00:31:44,800 --> 00:31:46,480
Speaker 1: At least for the time being, it hasn't been an issue.

729
00:31:46,560 --> 00:31:48,479
Speaker 1: Later him and Karen linked up and kind of got

730
00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:51,320
Speaker 1: there early. You know, like, I don't know if you've

731
00:31:51,320 --> 00:31:53,040
Speaker 1: ever seen the movie the program, but they're they're sort

732
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,400
Speaker 1: of Darnell Jefferson, right. It's like, if anybody brings this

733
00:31:55,480 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: football back to me except for you, who's gonna be problems.

734
00:31:58,080 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 3: You know, I've never seen it. I know, you know,

735
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:01,560
Speaker 3: I've never seen anything.

736
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,200
Speaker 1: I'm just by mentally making notes of movies to put

737
00:32:05,240 --> 00:32:09,480
Speaker 1: on the list for the random Moviean.

738
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,040
Speaker 3: And Quaba producer once had an argument, like a debate

739
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,800
Speaker 3: over who's the bigger movie buff?

740
00:32:12,920 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 1: So, bro, you haven't seen this, but he says, you

741
00:32:17,360 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: haven't seen the Shawshank Redemption, Like how do you make

742
00:32:19,600 --> 00:32:23,280
Speaker 1: that claim? Like at all? There's a lot of dialogue

743
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:23,600
Speaker 1: in there.

744
00:32:23,720 --> 00:32:27,200
Speaker 2: I'm going to watch that movie and we'll get past this.

745
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,720
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, you haven't seen the movie.

746
00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:31,680
Speaker 1: You can't call yourself a movie buff if you haven't

747
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:36,720
Speaker 1: seen whatever horror movie ever created or made, Like, I

748
00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:38,960
Speaker 1: don't say any I just haven't seen a lot of them.

749
00:32:39,040 --> 00:32:42,120
Speaker 1: You never seen I've seen like one of them.

750
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:49,800
Speaker 3: I know you don't go into like year three, but

751
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 3: it's so funny.

752
00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:54,400
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I don't even I don't know how how

753
00:32:54,440 --> 00:32:58,080
Speaker 1: to segue from that by stocking stuff is Juwan Johnson,

754
00:32:58,160 --> 00:33:00,240
Speaker 1: and it's nice to have him back in our lives again,

755
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,440
Speaker 1: right because he was a thing at the beginning of

756
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,120
Speaker 1: the season, then he went away for a while. He

757
00:33:05,200 --> 00:33:06,760
Speaker 1: had a couple weeks in the middle of the season,

758
00:33:06,840 --> 00:33:09,000
Speaker 1: then he went away again. I mean he's you know,

759
00:33:09,320 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: he's kind of like Clouds in Los Angeles, Like he

760
00:33:11,880 --> 00:33:14,480
Speaker 1: shows up, then he comes back, and then he goes

761
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: away again. This analogy's falling apart. Just roll some video plays. Look,

762
00:33:19,400 --> 00:33:22,480
Speaker 1: the point is Juwan Johnson is starting to get some

763
00:33:22,520 --> 00:33:25,240
Speaker 1: more opportunities again in this offense. We know Chris o'lave

764
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,080
Speaker 1: is gonna get targets, but Johnson's back to being the

765
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,560
Speaker 1: second option here and he's got a good matchup against

766
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:32,600
Speaker 1: the Titans, who've been bad against title They've been bad

767
00:33:32,640 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: against most every position all year long, but especially against

768
00:33:36,680 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: the tight ends. So I think Juwan Johnson gets some opportunities.

769
00:33:39,960 --> 00:33:43,480
Speaker 1: Hopefully they are from Chuck and not from Taysom Hill.

770
00:33:44,360 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: Even though Florida was caping for Taysom Hill on our

771
00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: Monday show, he threw.

772
00:33:51,640 --> 00:33:55,959
Speaker 3: A touchdown, he had six targets that help nobody. All

773
00:33:56,040 --> 00:34:00,280
Speaker 3: this does, sure, but I'm not saying you set Taysom

774
00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:02,120
Speaker 3: Hill in your lineup and forget about it. But if

775
00:34:02,160 --> 00:34:03,800
Speaker 3: you're in need of a tight end this week and

776
00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:05,120
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill's out there.

777
00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:06,760
Speaker 1: Last week's game feels like bait.

778
00:34:08,480 --> 00:34:13,040
Speaker 3: It's very much so is like two points, but I

779
00:34:13,120 --> 00:34:16,239
Speaker 3: think I take a shot him over Like, I don't know,

780
00:34:16,320 --> 00:34:17,839
Speaker 3: there's other tit ands I like this week too.

781
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:22,200
Speaker 1: Dunner Helm, Yeah, Hill, all right, all right, that's fair,

782
00:34:22,480 --> 00:34:25,440
Speaker 1: all right, So those are stocking stuffers. Now sign for

783
00:34:25,520 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: Fantasy Crampis and everybodys do Fantasy Grinch. But like Crampis

784
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: needs more attention, right because you know, Santa Claus, Saint Nicholas,

785
00:34:33,280 --> 00:34:36,120
Speaker 1: you know, brings toys and goodies to all the good

786
00:34:36,200 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: boys and girls. Well, if you're a naughty child, then

787
00:34:38,880 --> 00:34:42,120
Speaker 1: Crampis packs you up in his backpack. It takes you

788
00:34:42,200 --> 00:34:43,080
Speaker 1: off to the underworld.

789
00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:44,600
Speaker 3: That is true.

790
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:47,400
Speaker 1: Have you seen the horror movie of that? I know

791
00:34:47,480 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: it exists, but I have not seen Crampis now. The

792
00:34:50,719 --> 00:34:52,279
Speaker 1: idea of it just makes me laugh, though the whole

793
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:54,759
Speaker 1: concept of Crampis makes me giggle. So anyway, we're gonna

794
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:56,640
Speaker 1: do fantasy Crampus right now. These are the guys that

795
00:34:56,719 --> 00:34:59,200
Speaker 1: you want to avoid lest they put you in some

796
00:34:59,360 --> 00:35:01,759
Speaker 1: wicker bass and take you off to the underworld or

797
00:35:01,800 --> 00:35:02,279
Speaker 1: something like that.

798
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,600
Speaker 2: So, uh, look, what, who is your fantasy Crampis now?

799
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:08,440
Speaker 2: I have to pound the table for this because the

800
00:35:08,520 --> 00:35:11,120
Speaker 2: fantasy streets have been hitting in the DM. Keep pounding,

801
00:35:11,360 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 2: keep pounding the table for there.

802
00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:13,960
Speaker 1: Yeah.

803
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 2: No, I'm sending it up for the Panthers backfield to

804
00:35:15,880 --> 00:35:18,880
Speaker 2: avoy like. You have to avoid them because I honestly

805
00:35:18,960 --> 00:35:21,080
Speaker 2: think it's one of those headaches you want to avoid

806
00:35:21,160 --> 00:35:24,120
Speaker 2: in championship level type of play because they're not going

807
00:35:24,200 --> 00:35:26,080
Speaker 2: to give you that safe floor and their ceilings are

808
00:35:26,160 --> 00:35:28,440
Speaker 2: very low. In the last three games, we've seen them

809
00:35:28,440 --> 00:35:31,719
Speaker 2: split the backfield pretty evenly, where Chuba Hubbard actually has

810
00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,640
Speaker 2: more scrimming shows than Rico Daddle Like this Panther's run

811
00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:37,359
Speaker 2: game completely fell off a cliff. I don't know why

812
00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:40,560
Speaker 2: it's happening, but it's happening right now where Chuba Hubbard

813
00:35:40,600 --> 00:35:43,280
Speaker 2: and Rico Dada are splitting the carries where you cannot

814
00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,439
Speaker 2: even name you know, who's going to be the guy

815
00:35:45,800 --> 00:35:47,400
Speaker 2: that week that's going to be stepping up for you

816
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:48,320
Speaker 2: in starting lineups.

817
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,760
Speaker 1: Last week they did a thing where in the first

818
00:35:51,840 --> 00:35:54,959
Speaker 1: half it was Ricodowdell who would play first and second downs,

819
00:35:55,000 --> 00:35:57,200
Speaker 1: and then Choba Hubbard would do third down, and then

820
00:35:57,239 --> 00:35:59,560
Speaker 1: in the second half they reversed that where hub got

821
00:35:59,600 --> 00:36:00,920
Speaker 1: first and second down to Rigo down.

822
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:04,239
Speaker 3: It's not working, so why are we doing this? I

823
00:36:04,360 --> 00:36:06,279
Speaker 3: don't know, you know what. I also was reminded of,

824
00:36:06,760 --> 00:36:09,839
Speaker 3: like we should have been pounding the table to sell

825
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:10,920
Speaker 3: high on Rico Downell.

826
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:12,200
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he came.

827
00:36:12,239 --> 00:36:13,600
Speaker 3: Who he's always better.

828
00:36:13,640 --> 00:36:16,239
Speaker 2: I think we actually were like whispering that, Like I

829
00:36:16,280 --> 00:36:18,320
Speaker 2: think we should have been louder about it, but like

830
00:36:18,520 --> 00:36:20,480
Speaker 2: it was one of those situations where it's like, well,

831
00:36:20,600 --> 00:36:23,640
Speaker 2: Tuber hasn't been good or healthy, so it's obviously going

832
00:36:23,719 --> 00:36:26,080
Speaker 2: to be Rico game majority of the touches. But Juba

833
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:27,960
Speaker 2: looks to be healthy now, and he turned up in

834
00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Speaker 2: the RAM, which kind goes.

835
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:30,600
Speaker 3: Back to back two hundred yard games. That was the

836
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,480
Speaker 3: highest his value is ever going to be a record.

837
00:36:33,840 --> 00:36:36,960
Speaker 1: Yeah, probably should have known better at that point. H Floria,

838
00:36:36,960 --> 00:36:39,120
Speaker 1: who is your crampis Travis Kelcey?

839
00:36:39,160 --> 00:36:40,960
Speaker 3: I said earlier. I went and trust any of the Chiefs.

840
00:36:41,040 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 3: That includes uh, mister Kelsey who last week had one

841
00:36:45,719 --> 00:36:49,000
Speaker 3: catch for six yards, and I know he had he

842
00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:51,560
Speaker 3: had success against the Broncos in their first matchup, and

843
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:54,040
Speaker 3: I know the Broncos have struggled against tight ends. It's

844
00:36:54,080 --> 00:36:57,120
Speaker 3: kind of their one weakness on defense. And yeah, this

845
00:36:57,280 --> 00:37:00,560
Speaker 3: might be his final hurrah with the chief they're trying

846
00:37:00,600 --> 00:37:02,880
Speaker 3: to pad his number. I don't care about any of that,

847
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,120
Speaker 3: because if you're Denver, right, you're looking at the Chiefs

848
00:37:06,160 --> 00:37:09,040
Speaker 3: being like, if we slow down eighty seven without Rashid

849
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:11,719
Speaker 3: Rice being out there, where else are they going with

850
00:37:11,800 --> 00:37:14,000
Speaker 3: the ball? Xavier' Worthy's going to take himself out of

851
00:37:14,040 --> 00:37:17,040
Speaker 3: the game. Uh, They're like, They're just there's no option

852
00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,840
Speaker 3: there that scares you, even out of the backfield, Like

853
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:21,680
Speaker 3: I know they were throwing a Pacheco last week. Cool,

854
00:37:21,800 --> 00:37:24,600
Speaker 3: that's a win for the Broncos. I think, uh so, yeah,

855
00:37:24,680 --> 00:37:27,839
Speaker 3: I wouldn't be. So they might put cirtan on Travis Kelce,

856
00:37:28,080 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 3: Like that's how much of it could be bad for him.

857
00:37:30,880 --> 00:37:34,399
Speaker 3: So I'm I'm sitting look Travis Kelce, I might throw

858
00:37:34,440 --> 00:37:35,279
Speaker 3: Taysom Hill out there.

859
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:40,719
Speaker 1: Oh God, spicy, spicy right now. I like it. So

860
00:37:40,840 --> 00:37:42,680
Speaker 1: mine isn't maybe just a straight up a void, but

861
00:37:42,719 --> 00:37:45,480
Speaker 1: it's very much a beware of Jonathan Taylor right now.

862
00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,480
Speaker 1: Philip Rivers is a cute, fun story and like he's

863
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,960
Speaker 1: all dadding it up out there night because literally, because

864
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,279
Speaker 1: like the four of them, like three of us and

865
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,759
Speaker 1: one more person, we're just as effective a pass rush

866
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:01,640
Speaker 1: as well. The Niners put together in the first half

867
00:38:01,719 --> 00:38:04,080
Speaker 1: is when they started blitzing in the second half that

868
00:38:04,239 --> 00:38:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, they started to get to Philip Rivers a

869
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:07,680
Speaker 1: little bit. But one thing that has sort of been

870
00:38:07,760 --> 00:38:12,000
Speaker 1: constant is Philip Rivers at quarterback has not been good

871
00:38:12,040 --> 00:38:14,120
Speaker 1: for Jonathan Taylor at running back. I don't know if

872
00:38:14,120 --> 00:38:16,400
Speaker 1: it's because they're working so much out a shotgun or

873
00:38:16,440 --> 00:38:17,759
Speaker 1: if it's just the teams are like, you know what,

874
00:38:17,840 --> 00:38:20,719
Speaker 1: we're going to game plan for Jonathan Taylor and you'll

875
00:38:20,760 --> 00:38:23,120
Speaker 1: force Rivers to try to beat us with these like

876
00:38:23,239 --> 00:38:26,839
Speaker 1: balloons he's throwing out there. But it's not a good

877
00:38:26,880 --> 00:38:29,960
Speaker 1: situation on you know, initially on top of it's just

878
00:38:30,040 --> 00:38:32,480
Speaker 1: a bad matchup on paper against the Jaguars, who have

879
00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:35,320
Speaker 1: been really good defensively, especially for the back half of

880
00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,520
Speaker 1: the season. So I know it's hard to get away

881
00:38:37,520 --> 00:38:39,799
Speaker 1: from Jonathan Taylor, and I get it if you're starting him,

882
00:38:39,840 --> 00:38:41,680
Speaker 1: but man, I if you don't score a touchdown on

883
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:45,000
Speaker 1: Monday Night, he uho ten points? That's not good. Yeah,

884
00:38:45,040 --> 00:38:45,960
Speaker 1: that's not good at all.

885
00:38:46,080 --> 00:38:48,879
Speaker 3: One a world where everyone was like, man, they can't

886
00:38:48,960 --> 00:38:51,400
Speaker 3: run the ball, but Philip Rivers is lighting it.

887
00:38:51,560 --> 00:38:55,319
Speaker 1: Up, honestly, like I thought, I mean, going into Monday Night,

888
00:38:55,400 --> 00:38:56,920
Speaker 1: I was like, my fear as a Niner fan was

889
00:38:56,960 --> 00:39:00,080
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor's gonna run for like a buck fifty. Yeah, no,

890
00:39:00,200 --> 00:39:02,279
Speaker 1: shut down Philip Rivers, but it'll be Jonathan Taylor that

891
00:39:02,400 --> 00:39:04,320
Speaker 1: lights them up. And it was kind of the opposite

892
00:39:04,360 --> 00:39:04,480
Speaker 1: of that.

893
00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 3: I also love that like Rivers was just throwing these

894
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:09,680
Speaker 3: moon balls and being like Pierce, Pittman.

895
00:39:09,520 --> 00:39:13,360
Speaker 1: Go up and just help and it worked. Yeah. I

896
00:39:13,440 --> 00:39:15,560
Speaker 1: didn't think Alec Pierce would give you eighty six and

897
00:39:15,640 --> 00:39:18,400
Speaker 1: teen was going off. Did not think that was going

898
00:39:18,480 --> 00:39:21,399
Speaker 1: to happen at all. But at some point the magic

899
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:25,120
Speaker 1: Cole's got to play Rivers again this week, right, Like, yeah,

900
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:29,279
Speaker 1: this was run the string.

901
00:39:30,080 --> 00:39:32,480
Speaker 3: So basically because they play each other week eighteen, So

902
00:39:32,520 --> 00:39:34,680
Speaker 3: if the Colts win and the Texans lose to the Chargers,

903
00:39:34,719 --> 00:39:37,600
Speaker 3: which is very realistic, that because yesterday they kept being like,

904
00:39:37,680 --> 00:39:39,480
Speaker 3: well now you got to make a quarterback change, but

905
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:41,600
Speaker 3: like they're still alive. Yeah.

906
00:39:41,719 --> 00:39:43,560
Speaker 1: Also, I just I used to just play out the string.

907
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,520
Speaker 1: You brought Philip Rivers ya, and like you just play

908
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:47,839
Speaker 1: out the string with him? One way. I mean, I'll

909
00:39:47,840 --> 00:39:49,759
Speaker 1: also say that they've lost the two games with him,

910
00:39:49,760 --> 00:39:51,680
Speaker 1: but I don't think Rivers is the reason they lost

911
00:39:51,760 --> 00:39:52,960
Speaker 1: those two nos either.

912
00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 3: So the only way I think if Anthony Richardson is ready,

913
00:39:58,760 --> 00:40:02,040
Speaker 3: guys have to say, Ryley, there's a reason for this

914
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:04,360
Speaker 3: mop up duty, Like that's what he's on right now.

915
00:40:04,360 --> 00:40:06,600
Speaker 1: Why would you Why would you put in the student

916
00:40:06,640 --> 00:40:08,839
Speaker 1: when you have the sensey on the roster, Like, why

917
00:40:08,880 --> 00:40:11,080
Speaker 1: would you do that? So you just let that be

918
00:40:11,160 --> 00:40:13,240
Speaker 1: a thing and you ride it out with Philip Rivers.

919
00:40:13,400 --> 00:40:16,040
Speaker 3: That is what If the Colts get eliminated they should

920
00:40:16,120 --> 00:40:18,040
Speaker 3: this week, they should do Rivers the favor and not

921
00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,160
Speaker 3: play him against Houston.

922
00:40:19,280 --> 00:40:22,879
Speaker 1: Ye only, Yeah, that might be you might get hurt.

923
00:40:22,960 --> 00:40:26,400
Speaker 3: That might be a retirement game. Again, that might be

924
00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:26,799
Speaker 3: the end.

925
00:40:28,160 --> 00:40:30,640
Speaker 1: Get yourself for coming. No, it's not far as Spicy

926
00:40:30,760 --> 00:40:34,279
Speaker 1: takes for Week seventeen, I like. I like this week

927
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:35,160
Speaker 1: back to back week.

928
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:37,040
Speaker 2: I'm ride with cam Ward. He is going to win

929
00:40:37,200 --> 00:40:40,560
Speaker 2: a bunch of people their Super Flex Championship games because

930
00:40:40,600 --> 00:40:43,200
Speaker 2: we've seen him go up against difficult matchups against the

931
00:40:43,239 --> 00:40:45,560
Speaker 2: Seahawks where he put up eighteen fantasy points. We saw

932
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:48,360
Speaker 2: him light up the Chiefs last last week. The Saints

933
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,560
Speaker 2: have been very difficult against the pass and since the

934
00:40:50,640 --> 00:40:52,920
Speaker 2: last couple of weeks, since Week ten, where they're allowing

935
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:55,840
Speaker 2: the fifth fewest passing yards. But cam Ward is bawling

936
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,080
Speaker 2: out right. Now you have Elkiu Manor and you have

937
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:00,600
Speaker 2: DK going down there stretching the field where I think

938
00:41:00,640 --> 00:41:03,240
Speaker 2: this could be the opportunity where cam Ward delivers another

939
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,160
Speaker 2: QB one performance this week.

940
00:41:05,960 --> 00:41:08,239
Speaker 1: He's been very good at protecting the football. Yes, I

941
00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,480
Speaker 1: think he had six interceptions. I think through the first

942
00:41:10,600 --> 00:41:12,440
Speaker 1: nine weeks and then since the bye I had I

943
00:41:12,520 --> 00:41:14,200
Speaker 1: think the week and buy or whatever.

944
00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,440
Speaker 2: Right out to the run game too, man, Tony Pollard,

945
00:41:16,880 --> 00:41:19,000
Speaker 2: Taj Spears. They've been handling the workload.

946
00:41:19,120 --> 00:41:22,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, since the by nine total touchdowns, one rushing, eight passing,

947
00:41:23,080 --> 00:41:24,640
Speaker 1: and like just one interception. That's it.

948
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:27,720
Speaker 3: So he's doing a litle bitalling Warden Schuck or two quarterbacks.

949
00:41:27,760 --> 00:41:29,799
Speaker 3: I'm excited to kind of when this all dies down

950
00:41:29,880 --> 00:41:30,680
Speaker 3: to just go back and.

951
00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:34,200
Speaker 1: Watch right what it looks like. Yeah, what's your your

952
00:41:34,239 --> 00:41:35,120
Speaker 1: hot take for this week?

953
00:41:35,760 --> 00:41:39,240
Speaker 3: Much bigger name than cam Ward, but Trey McBride, obviously

954
00:41:39,320 --> 00:41:41,680
Speaker 3: you're playing him, you all know that. But I think

955
00:41:41,719 --> 00:41:44,080
Speaker 3: he sets a new career high in receiving yards. His

956
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:46,799
Speaker 3: previous high is one thirty four.

957
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:47,759
Speaker 1: Is that against the Rams?

958
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:50,160
Speaker 3: It might have been I'm not sure offhand.

959
00:41:50,520 --> 00:41:55,279
Speaker 1: Well, okay, I just need you know for the facts

960
00:41:55,280 --> 00:41:56,400
Speaker 1: so people can get the information.

961
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: That's all all right. When you're giving your hot take, Marcus,

962
00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:01,640
Speaker 3: I will quickly look it up. But if you look,

963
00:42:01,719 --> 00:42:04,759
Speaker 3: the Bengals have allowed the most of every category two

964
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:08,120
Speaker 3: tight ends, but specifically in yards, they've allowed more than

965
00:42:08,200 --> 00:42:11,319
Speaker 3: three hundred than any other team in the league, three

966
00:42:11,480 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 3: hundred yards more than any other Like it's crazy and

967
00:42:14,760 --> 00:42:17,480
Speaker 3: the way things usually work in fantasy is like Trey

968
00:42:17,560 --> 00:42:19,960
Speaker 3: McBride was awful last week, worst game of the season,

969
00:42:20,040 --> 00:42:23,160
Speaker 3: a lot of his managers lost, and now he's gonna

970
00:42:23,160 --> 00:42:25,120
Speaker 3: go off when you're all gonna sit there and be like,

971
00:42:25,239 --> 00:42:27,080
Speaker 3: I would have won my championship if I had him.

972
00:42:27,280 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 3: But I have him in a championship game that I

973
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:32,239
Speaker 3: survived last week, and I've already texted my co manager, like,

974
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,600
Speaker 3: we have Jamar Chase and Trey McBride in this one.

975
00:42:34,640 --> 00:42:36,640
Speaker 3: I'm like they could each go for thirty because of

976
00:42:36,920 --> 00:42:39,640
Speaker 3: how good the matchups are. Like that game I think

977
00:42:39,760 --> 00:42:41,640
Speaker 3: is going to win people more championships in any game

978
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:43,080
Speaker 3: the Bengals and the Cardinals have all.

979
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:47,000
Speaker 1: Also, by the way, it was actually the couple weeks

980
00:42:47,040 --> 00:42:49,400
Speaker 1: ago against the Texans that he he did he.

981
00:42:49,520 --> 00:42:51,319
Speaker 3: Had like one thirty three in a game two did

982
00:42:51,400 --> 00:42:52,040
Speaker 3: that come against?

983
00:42:52,239 --> 00:42:58,719
Speaker 1: That game against Seattle High against the Rams was one three?

984
00:42:58,920 --> 00:42:59,800
Speaker 3: Oh, So it's ten O.

985
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:02,560
Speaker 2: When I interviewed Trey last year in New Orleans, he

986
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:05,080
Speaker 2: kind of made sure I was known that his first

987
00:43:05,160 --> 00:43:08,319
Speaker 2: touchdown in the season came against us, the Rams, so he's, uh,

988
00:43:08,440 --> 00:43:09,640
Speaker 2: he got some beef with the Rams.

989
00:43:09,640 --> 00:43:10,719
Speaker 3: So I don't think that we.

990
00:43:10,840 --> 00:43:12,400
Speaker 2: Are gonna let him go out there and put up

991
00:43:12,440 --> 00:43:13,200
Speaker 2: career highs on us.

992
00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,360
Speaker 1: The twelve catches against the Rams, though, tied.

993
00:43:15,239 --> 00:43:19,080
Speaker 3: A career high and tied it might go thirteen catches,

994
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,480
Speaker 3: one hundred and fifty yards and like four touchdowns.

995
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:23,680
Speaker 2: Well, the fantasy guys have not been nice, so I

996
00:43:23,800 --> 00:43:26,200
Speaker 2: think this is an Elijah Higgins game probably going to

997
00:43:26,239 --> 00:43:27,520
Speaker 2: be happening like it was last week.

998
00:43:27,560 --> 00:43:29,600
Speaker 1: He's only ever had ten catches against the forty nine

999
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:37,560
Speaker 1: the Bengals game. My hot take, my Bowl prediction, My

1000
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:41,400
Speaker 1: hot take for the week. Trevor Lawrence scores thirty or

1001
00:43:41,440 --> 00:43:45,120
Speaker 1: more fantasy points for the third straight week. Wow has

1002
00:43:45,160 --> 00:43:48,319
Speaker 1: been on an absolute heater over the last I believe

1003
00:43:48,360 --> 00:43:52,640
Speaker 1: the last four weeks fourteen total touchdowns, no interceptions for

1004
00:43:52,880 --> 00:43:58,000
Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence. Again, he's looking more like Clemson Trevor Lawrence

1005
00:43:58,280 --> 00:44:00,800
Speaker 1: the last few weeks. And just in case we didn't believe,

1006
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:02,640
Speaker 1: if we had any doubts, the fact that he went

1007
00:44:02,680 --> 00:44:05,360
Speaker 1: out and bald and gave you thirty points against the

1008
00:44:05,440 --> 00:44:10,080
Speaker 1: Broncos last week, is running the football, is just watching

1009
00:44:10,200 --> 00:44:11,960
Speaker 1: him throw the ball like he is playing with a

1010
00:44:12,080 --> 00:44:15,239
Speaker 1: confidence that we have not seen and I watched that game,

1011
00:44:15,680 --> 00:44:17,560
Speaker 1: and in my head, I was like, what would he

1012
00:44:17,719 --> 00:44:21,399
Speaker 1: be if he didn't have that weird, dysfunctional Urban Meyer

1013
00:44:21,560 --> 00:44:24,520
Speaker 1: season as a rookie, Like what what could he have

1014
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:26,920
Speaker 1: been if he didn't just lose a whole year of

1015
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:30,880
Speaker 1: development to a just a weird circus. Who knows, But

1016
00:44:30,960 --> 00:44:34,440
Speaker 1: I think he stays hot this week. I just I

1017
00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:35,680
Speaker 1: think he continues to play well.

1018
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:38,600
Speaker 3: If he does this, I'll call him t law. Yeah

1019
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:39,600
Speaker 3: I does.

1020
00:44:39,760 --> 00:44:41,640
Speaker 1: Yes, the Colts. The Colts just gave up thirty to

1021
00:44:41,719 --> 00:44:44,880
Speaker 1: brock Purty. H They've been struggling as wide receivers. I

1022
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,359
Speaker 1: think I think another big week is coming.

1023
00:44:46,400 --> 00:44:48,600
Speaker 3: So he belongs to me in the same tier as

1024
00:44:48,680 --> 00:44:51,520
Speaker 3: like Baker and Sam Darnold, who, like I know, those

1025
00:44:51,560 --> 00:44:54,520
Speaker 3: guys changed teams before they reached new heights, like Trevor

1026
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:56,680
Speaker 3: stayed on the same team, but they got put with

1027
00:44:56,760 --> 00:44:59,439
Speaker 3: the right coach. And now we're finally seeing him six years,

1028
00:44:59,520 --> 00:45:00,479
Speaker 3: five years and live.

1029
00:45:00,480 --> 00:45:00,880
Speaker 1: Up to that.

1030
00:45:01,080 --> 00:45:03,319
Speaker 3: Yeah, those high expectations, Yeah for sure.

1031
00:45:04,400 --> 00:45:05,839
Speaker 1: All right, before we get out of here, of course,

1032
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:07,960
Speaker 1: your Christmas is coming in just a couple of days.

1033
00:45:08,280 --> 00:45:09,560
Speaker 1: Why don't you just kind of go around the horn

1034
00:45:09,640 --> 00:45:12,120
Speaker 1: like have a little sincere moment. Luke On, you have

1035
00:45:12,200 --> 00:45:14,840
Speaker 1: a favorite Christmas memory or tradition or something like that.

1036
00:45:15,480 --> 00:45:18,120
Speaker 2: I'll say memory like back in Jersey, we will wake

1037
00:45:18,200 --> 00:45:20,600
Speaker 2: up really really early and stuff, go to Grandma's house

1038
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:22,279
Speaker 2: and like she would have all the best gifts, So

1039
00:45:22,400 --> 00:45:25,080
Speaker 2: like go in to Grandma's house having the cookies, having

1040
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:27,440
Speaker 2: the breakfast meal already ready when we get there. Like

1041
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:29,719
Speaker 2: that's one of those good fond memories as a kid,

1042
00:45:29,760 --> 00:45:32,080
Speaker 2: Like I always like go back to and like hope

1043
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:33,719
Speaker 2: I can live again, you know, go back to Jersey

1044
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:35,880
Speaker 2: one of these Christmases and do it all over again.

1045
00:45:36,080 --> 00:45:37,080
Speaker 1: Very cool, how about you.

1046
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:39,320
Speaker 3: I lived in an apartment and we had like a

1047
00:45:39,480 --> 00:45:42,120
Speaker 3: little sliding door to our hallway that would block off

1048
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:44,560
Speaker 3: like where our tree was and stuff. So I remember

1049
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:47,440
Speaker 3: like having to wait my parents, like you can't wake

1050
00:45:47,520 --> 00:45:50,400
Speaker 3: up early. And that was like seven or seven adult

1051
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:53,600
Speaker 3: of like I understand why I hated it, but I

1052
00:45:53,760 --> 00:45:56,480
Speaker 3: just remember always like running and opening that slotting door

1053
00:45:56,520 --> 00:45:58,840
Speaker 3: and then just like seeing the gifts. And I have

1054
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:01,200
Speaker 3: certain ones that I remember. And then an now which

1055
00:46:01,200 --> 00:46:04,240
Speaker 3: tradition me nicol at every Christmas Eve she bakes cookies

1056
00:46:04,239 --> 00:46:05,840
Speaker 3: all the time. So like we'll take cookies and like

1057
00:46:05,920 --> 00:46:08,080
Speaker 3: hot chocolate or whatever and just go look at Christmas lights.

1058
00:46:08,520 --> 00:46:10,560
Speaker 3: That's like I'm looking forward to doing that this year again.

1059
00:46:10,680 --> 00:46:11,799
Speaker 3: It's something I enjoy doing.

1060
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,560
Speaker 1: Very cool. Yeah for me, it's just it was about it.

1061
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:16,759
Speaker 1: But I don't cook now on things on Christmas. I

1062
00:46:16,920 --> 00:46:19,240
Speaker 1: do my cooking on Thanksgiving. But my mom would always

1063
00:46:19,239 --> 00:46:21,680
Speaker 1: cook a lot and so like a big pot of

1064
00:46:21,760 --> 00:46:24,320
Speaker 1: like seafood Dumbo, and she would do homemade ice cream

1065
00:46:24,480 --> 00:46:27,600
Speaker 1: and ice homemade ice cream usually like she started doing

1066
00:46:27,640 --> 00:46:29,600
Speaker 1: candy cane ice cream where she would like crush up

1067
00:46:29,640 --> 00:46:30,240
Speaker 1: candy canes.

1068
00:46:30,239 --> 00:46:33,480
Speaker 3: And you make the peanut butter yourself. I see where

1069
00:46:33,480 --> 00:46:33,880
Speaker 3: you get it from.

1070
00:46:33,920 --> 00:46:35,640
Speaker 1: Then you make it peanut butter. Yet, but I do

1071
00:46:35,760 --> 00:46:37,560
Speaker 1: make you know, I make a you make peanut butter.

1072
00:46:37,760 --> 00:46:39,880
Speaker 1: I've tried. I thought about it. I haven't done it.

1073
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:40,560
Speaker 3: He's gonna do it.

1074
00:46:40,840 --> 00:46:42,279
Speaker 1: I will do it at some point. I will do it.

1075
00:46:42,360 --> 00:46:43,600
Speaker 3: But just like the food portion of it.

1076
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, the gifts, I do have gifts, I remember, but

1077
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:51,000
Speaker 1: just a lot of like eating really good now and

1078
00:46:51,360 --> 00:46:54,160
Speaker 1: stuff like that. Always always like a big slow cooker

1079
00:46:54,200 --> 00:46:57,120
Speaker 1: full of like homemade apple sider, spiced cider and stuff

1080
00:46:57,160 --> 00:47:00,560
Speaker 1: like that. Was that. Now I've made it once. I

1081
00:47:00,640 --> 00:47:01,880
Speaker 1: maybe I'll do it again this year. I don't know.

1082
00:47:01,920 --> 00:47:04,000
Speaker 3: Maybe we'll say as an adult, that must hit better

1083
00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:05,400
Speaker 3: than when you were a kid. I imagine.

1084
00:47:05,440 --> 00:47:08,440
Speaker 1: Well, now as an adult, I can put attitudes that

1085
00:47:08,520 --> 00:47:10,319
Speaker 1: I couldn't have put in it as a kid. So yeah,

1086
00:47:10,760 --> 00:47:12,239
Speaker 1: that was That was a big part of it. So

1087
00:47:12,760 --> 00:47:15,480
