Speaker 1: Michael f Florio, And I know we we've talked a

15
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 1: lot of hot stove stuff on Monday. But there's like

16
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:50,599
Speaker 1: still hot stove things happening across. But I know it's

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:53,160
Speaker 1: not a baseball show. I don't care, but like there's

18
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: stuff happening. It's fun. Yeah, your Dodgers are in on

19
00:00:56,240 --> 00:01:00,120
Speaker 1: Freddie Freeman. Apparently the Mets are introducing Max Scherzer today

20
00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: and that that is all I needed this winter, right,

21
00:01:03,040 --> 00:01:05,760
Speaker 1: and apparently they're not done, so I'm I'm enjoying it.

22
00:01:05,800 --> 00:01:07,800
Speaker 1: They should have two press conferences, one for each of

23
00:01:07,800 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: his different colored eyes. That right, someone said they should

24
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:13,080
Speaker 1: play with like a black jersey and like then a

25
00:01:13,120 --> 00:01:16,280
Speaker 1: white jersey just so like pes, Yeah, totally totally, so

26
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:18,360
Speaker 1: you know, like just just let's play into this a

27
00:01:18,400 --> 00:01:21,680
Speaker 1: whole lot. Alright. Anyway, let's get to the fantasy football stuff.

28
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:22,960
Speaker 1: We got a lot coming up. We got the three

29
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:26,160
Speaker 1: big questions four week thirteen, as we normally do here,

30
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:29,319
Speaker 1: and we're gonna preview all of the Sunday games, not

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:31,200
Speaker 1: to mention the Thursday night game, and we will close

32
00:01:31,240 --> 00:01:34,880
Speaker 1: the show out with some sleepers. But let's kick it

33
00:01:34,920 --> 00:01:38,399
Speaker 1: off as we normally do, with some fantasy headlines, and

34
00:01:38,440 --> 00:01:41,840
Speaker 1: we will start with the Dallas Cowboys. Now. As of

35
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:44,600
Speaker 1: a couple of days ago, head coach Mike McCarthy said

36
00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 1: he was uncertain about Amari Cooper's availability for Thursday nights

37
00:01:48,440 --> 00:01:51,280
Speaker 1: game against the New Orleans Saints. Cooper has missed the

38
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 1: last couple of games as he deals with COVID symptoms.

39
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: But a report this morning from edward Er says that

40
00:01:57,120 --> 00:02:00,760
Speaker 1: Cooper is traveling with the team soon Orleans, so no

41
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:04,440
Speaker 1: official designation yet about his status for the week, but

42
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:08,200
Speaker 1: at least a step in the right direction. But uh,

43
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,880
Speaker 1: let's just say for the sake of argument, that he

44
00:02:09,919 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: does miss another game this week. Can I interest you

45
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:17,440
Speaker 1: in either Cedric Wilson or Noah Brown? Uh? Maybe Cedric Wilson.

46
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:19,760
Speaker 1: He did have a team high ten targets last week.

47
00:02:19,760 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 1: Noah Brown had nine. But the thing is there was

48
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:24,320
Speaker 1: no Ceedee Lamb either in that game, and Lamb is

49
00:02:24,360 --> 00:02:26,440
Speaker 1: looking like he is going to be playing. He's been

50
00:02:26,440 --> 00:02:30,240
Speaker 1: practicing this week, So I think Lamb, Gallop and Dalton

51
00:02:30,320 --> 00:02:34,560
Speaker 1: Shoultz see a large number of targets there. So I

52
00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:36,880
Speaker 1: think those other two guys are just more deeper league

53
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: plays and nfm Ari Cooper plays. Those guys are just

54
00:02:39,040 --> 00:02:41,520
Speaker 1: completely off the boards. I know the Michael Gallup thing

55
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,360
Speaker 1: was very frustrating on Thanksgiving because he was sort of

56
00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 1: missing an action for a good chunk of that game. Uh.

57
00:02:47,760 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: And I know that because look, I was, you know,

58
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,720
Speaker 1: doing the family thing, having dinner, so I wasn't necessarily

59
00:02:51,760 --> 00:02:54,040
Speaker 1: locked into every single play. But I'm checking Twitter every

60
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:56,120
Speaker 1: so often, and every time I opened it, I'm just

61
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: hearing people complain about where is Michael Gallop. I know

62
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:01,600
Speaker 1: he kind of got involved a little bit later, but

63
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: it was a struggle for a good show. I guess

64
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:06,640
Speaker 1: someone who started him in a good amount of leagues.

65
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,400
Speaker 1: Last week, I was one of those angry people. He

66
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,240
Speaker 1: had one target in the first half. I was like, what, Like,

67
00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 1: what are we doing? That's one thing that frustrates me

68
00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,680
Speaker 1: the most, Marcus is when teams voluntarily take away like

69
00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:20,960
Speaker 1: their best playmakers, like what the Colts did this week

70
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 1: with Jonathan Taylor. Cooper Cup didn't get a lot of

71
00:03:23,720 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: volume early on in that game, Like you're not If

72
00:03:26,160 --> 00:03:29,119
Speaker 1: you're choosing to take away your best player, that's on you, man,

73
00:03:29,280 --> 00:03:31,640
Speaker 1: Like I mean, look, DK Metcalf didn't have a catch

74
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:34,600
Speaker 1: on Monday n until the final minute of the game,

75
00:03:34,760 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: Like how, I don't know how that happens, But he's

76
00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: DK Metcalf, right, you know? And afterwards they were like, oh, yeah,

77
00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: maybe we should get K more involved, Like you think

78
00:03:44,360 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: maybe we could tell you that, we can tell you

79
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:49,040
Speaker 1: had right. I'm not even in the practice the practice field,

80
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:50,440
Speaker 1: in the meeting rooms. I would just hey, throw the

81
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:52,800
Speaker 1: ball to DK Metcalf that that would be my strategy.

82
00:03:52,880 --> 00:03:54,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't have to It's Matt Harmon who says that, right, Like,

83
00:03:54,840 --> 00:03:57,480
Speaker 1: just just throw it to your good players. Just throw

84
00:03:57,480 --> 00:04:00,080
Speaker 1: it to your good players. It's that easy. Uh. In

85
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:04,040
Speaker 1: New York, the Giants kind of have a quarterback quandary

86
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:08,000
Speaker 1: at the moment. Daniel Jones is dealing with a neck injury. Now.

87
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 1: On Tuesday, the reports were that Mike Glennon was expected

88
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:15,760
Speaker 1: to get the start, uh, and that Jones was going

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,760
Speaker 1: to be week to week with a next strain. Now

90
00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 1: this morning, Joe Judge is not ready to rule Daniel

91
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,360
Speaker 1: Jones out. Now, that doesn't mean Mike Glennon isn't going

92
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:27,839
Speaker 1: to play, but we're still going to wait and see

93
00:04:27,960 --> 00:04:30,520
Speaker 1: sort of what the situation is. At the same time,

94
00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:33,960
Speaker 1: Big Blue is hoping to get Sterling Shepherd back on

95
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:36,960
Speaker 1: the field after he's missed some time with injury. So

96
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:40,039
Speaker 1: let's say Sterling Shepherd is back. Let's say Mike Glennon

97
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,719
Speaker 1: is under center. How much confidence do you have in

98
00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:46,520
Speaker 1: giving him a start this week? Mike Glennon none. I

99
00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,320
Speaker 1: would I would have to be very desperate. The Dolphins

100
00:04:49,400 --> 00:04:52,039
Speaker 1: defense has been playing a lot better as of late.

101
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,679
Speaker 1: The Giants are very banged up. I know they're hoping

102
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:57,599
Speaker 1: that Sterling Shepherd could return, maybe could Darius Tony, But

103
00:04:57,640 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: even still, it's Mike glenn and he he doesn't give

104
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: you anything with his legs. I don't want to trust

105
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:07,240
Speaker 1: the Giants pass attack. I would deep playing like a

106
00:05:07,240 --> 00:05:09,440
Speaker 1: two quarterback league. That's really it. Yeah, that's probably it

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: from Mike Glennon. Uh. The stiling Shepherd part of it, though,

108
00:05:11,920 --> 00:05:14,120
Speaker 1: are you more confident and maybe getting him back in

109
00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: if he's good to go. I think he would be

110
00:05:15,720 --> 00:05:18,520
Speaker 1: the one Giants player that outside of se Kwon Barkley,

111
00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:21,039
Speaker 1: that you could start, only because I I don't expect

112
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: Mike Lennon to be you know, airing it out downfield,

113
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: so I think he'll be like more of a chain

114
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: mover throw to the the short safe routes and that's

115
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:31,919
Speaker 1: going to be Sterling Shepherd running those routes. And uh, Marcus,

116
00:05:31,960 --> 00:05:34,599
Speaker 1: do you think this is the end of the Daniel

117
00:05:34,680 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: Jones era in New York? I'm gonna say no, just

118
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:42,880
Speaker 1: because what do they do? Where do they go if

119
00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:46,839
Speaker 1: it's not Daniel Jones? Um? You know, there there's sort

120
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:48,360
Speaker 1: of there are a lot of teams. I think that

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 1: are kind of in quarterback limbo right now. Um. You know,

122
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 1: we talked about it with the Steelers in Ben Roethlisberger,

123
00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: but you know, the Giants in a similar way with

124
00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,599
Speaker 1: with Jones. Obviously he's much younger, but he hasn't shown

125
00:06:01,640 --> 00:06:04,560
Speaker 1: you that he's a franchise guy to this point. But

126
00:06:04,640 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: at the same time, do you roll the dice, you know,

127
00:06:08,320 --> 00:06:10,360
Speaker 1: knowing that free agency is not necessarily going to bring

128
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: you a ton of great options, and knowing that the

129
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,599
Speaker 1: draft isn't going to bring you a ton of great options,

130
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:16,559
Speaker 1: do you roll the dice and try to find something

131
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,440
Speaker 1: better or do you just kind of stick with the

132
00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 1: guy you know and hope that he just basically doesn't

133
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:23,480
Speaker 1: implode the whole thing. I think when I think they're

134
00:06:23,480 --> 00:06:25,839
Speaker 1: gonna what I would do if I was the Giants

135
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:28,239
Speaker 1: because of those like exactly what you said. I wouldn't

136
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,400
Speaker 1: move on from Daniel Jones, but I would either use

137
00:06:30,440 --> 00:06:32,359
Speaker 1: one of our two top ten picks to bring in

138
00:06:32,400 --> 00:06:36,159
Speaker 1: another quarterback or bring in a veteran that could compete.

139
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,840
Speaker 1: And because you can't go another year with like Daniel

140
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: Jones and Mike Glennon or so I think you need

141
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,240
Speaker 1: someone to push him just in case it doesn't work.

142
00:06:44,279 --> 00:06:46,640
Speaker 1: That lots. It's it's gonna be an interesting offseason because

143
00:06:46,640 --> 00:06:48,080
Speaker 1: there are a lot of teams that have to have

144
00:06:48,160 --> 00:06:51,200
Speaker 1: to make questions, So many quarterbacks gonna change teams and stuff,

145
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 1: I think, right, I think a lot of quarterbacks changed teams,

146
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,520
Speaker 1: But I don't think anybody necessarily is gonna get exponentially

147
00:06:57,600 --> 00:07:00,599
Speaker 1: better with a new quarterback. Same, So we'll see what

148
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: happens there, all right, there are four teams on a

149
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,560
Speaker 1: bye in Week thirteen. It's the Carolina Panthers, the Cleveland Browns,

150
00:07:07,640 --> 00:07:11,360
Speaker 1: the Green Bay Packers, and the Tennessee Titans. So, uh,

151
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: the notable players that will be missing this week at quarterback,

152
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:19,160
Speaker 1: you got Cam Newton, Baker Mayfield, Aaron Rodgers, Ryan Tannehill

153
00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: also on a bye this week. At running back, some

154
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: big names there, Nick Chubb, creem Hunt who we just

155
00:07:25,400 --> 00:07:27,640
Speaker 1: got back, is also on a bye this week. Aaron

156
00:07:27,720 --> 00:07:31,280
Speaker 1: Jones also Quadzilla, A J. Dillon. Uh, it would have

157
00:07:31,280 --> 00:07:34,160
Speaker 1: been Christian McCaffrey where he not on injured reserves, So

158
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard is out. Dontrelle Hilliard, who we just started

159
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,800
Speaker 1: to kind of integrate into our fantasy lives. He's also

160
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,040
Speaker 1: out as well at wide receiver, talking about DJ Moore,

161
00:07:43,280 --> 00:07:47,040
Speaker 1: Jarvis Landry, and Davante Adams. I was trying to rack

162
00:07:47,160 --> 00:07:48,760
Speaker 1: my brain to come up with a tight end of

163
00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,400
Speaker 1: note that is going to be missing, and uh, I

164
00:07:51,440 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: came up blank, Tommy Tremble anybody. Uh, So that's it.

165
00:07:56,800 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: So don't start any of those guys that are on

166
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,000
Speaker 1: by uh and try to figure out the rest of it.

167
00:08:01,040 --> 00:08:02,640
Speaker 1: We will help you out though, because we're gonna have

168
00:08:02,640 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: some sleepers. We had our waiver wire on Monday, so

169
00:08:05,280 --> 00:08:07,520
Speaker 1: we'll have some other options for you as we get

170
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: through the rest of the show. All Right, we got

171
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 1: our three big questions as we get ready for week thirteen. Uh,

172
00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,320
Speaker 1: let's start though with the Saints. They play on Thursday

173
00:08:17,400 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: night against the Dallas Cowboys. Taysom Hill expected to get

174
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:24,240
Speaker 1: the start at quarterback for New Orleans. I mean, we

175
00:08:24,360 --> 00:08:27,360
Speaker 1: sort of have been expecting this for some time now,

176
00:08:27,360 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: and it appears that Sean Payton is ready to pull

177
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,280
Speaker 1: the trigger. But the question is, if Hill is starting

178
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 1: at quarterback, can we trust a Saints running back at all? Now,

179
00:08:37,160 --> 00:08:39,679
Speaker 1: keep in mind, by the way, both Alvin Kamara and

180
00:08:39,720 --> 00:08:42,200
Speaker 1: marketing a return to practice this week. We'll see which

181
00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:45,200
Speaker 1: whether one or both of them are playing, but uh

182
00:08:45,360 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: can we can we trust either one of them? If

183
00:08:46,920 --> 00:08:49,960
Speaker 1: Taysom Hills at quarterback a lot less than you could

184
00:08:49,960 --> 00:08:53,760
Speaker 1: if someone else was. I think, obviously, if Alvin Camariz

185
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:56,280
Speaker 1: suits up, you play him in fantasy football every week.

186
00:08:56,320 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 1: If he sits, I think you use ingram as like

187
00:08:58,880 --> 00:09:01,760
Speaker 1: an RB two or flex option on volume alone. But

188
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: they're gonna take a hit. Like last year and the

189
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 1: four starts that Taysom Hill made, Alvin Camara average just

190
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,240
Speaker 1: fourteen fantasy points per game, four targets per game two

191
00:09:11,240 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: and have catches with Drew Brees it was twenty nine

192
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,080
Speaker 1: fantasy points per game. And he's been giving you a lot,

193
00:09:17,240 --> 00:09:20,439
Speaker 1: you know, eighteen point one you see there. But Taysom Hill,

194
00:09:21,200 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: he last year average forty over forty rushing yards in

195
00:09:23,960 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 1: every game he started. He had more goal on carries

196
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:28,640
Speaker 1: than Alvin Camara. He had four rushing touchdowns in those

197
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 1: four games. Like he is going to be a vulture

198
00:09:31,440 --> 00:09:33,920
Speaker 1: near the goal line. He's not gonna throw the running

199
00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,600
Speaker 1: backs as much, so I think you still start him.

200
00:09:36,600 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: But he definitely takes a big hit. The only I

201
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:41,560
Speaker 1: guess the reason for optimism is he's dealing with the

202
00:09:41,600 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: foot issue, so maybe he just runs less that. That's

203
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 1: the one thing I think you could hang your head on. Which,

204
00:09:46,320 --> 00:09:48,160
Speaker 1: by the way, that seemed to pop up out of nowhere,

205
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:49,760
Speaker 1: like there had been no talk about and then all

206
00:09:49,800 --> 00:09:52,480
Speaker 1: of a sudden, these reports that Taysom Hill was dealing

207
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 1: with plan or fasciitis. Uh, they were, They weren't sure

208
00:09:55,320 --> 00:09:57,680
Speaker 1: about how healthy he was going to be. Um, but

209
00:09:57,720 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: I'm with you, like, if it's Alvin Camara, you're starting him,

210
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: but you have to express expect lower production than than

211
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:07,040
Speaker 1: what you're normally used to. Last year, in the four

212
00:10:07,080 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: starts for Taysom Hill, he had four rushing touchdowns. Camara

213
00:10:10,360 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 1: had three, let Tavis Murray had two. Just those opportunities

214
00:10:14,440 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: that you talked about near the gold line, those short

215
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:19,640
Speaker 1: throws probably go away. UM. Any idea, by the way,

216
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:22,760
Speaker 1: like do you like any of the receivers more or less?

217
00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 1: That feels like the part that's super unknown with this

218
00:10:25,800 --> 00:10:28,199
Speaker 1: offense with Taysom Hill, I have no idea who he's

219
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:31,640
Speaker 1: gonna throw too now, Yeah, same, especially because the saint

220
00:10:31,760 --> 00:10:34,400
Speaker 1: like like Trey Koon Smith was starting to step up

221
00:10:34,440 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: as of late W Trevor Simeon, but he gets just

222
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: as much volume pretty much as like Marcus Callaway, Deonte

223
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:43,240
Speaker 1: Harris there all around like five targets per game. So no,

224
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,640
Speaker 1: I don't feel great about any Saints wide receiver. I mean,

225
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:49,400
Speaker 1: last year he sort of had tunnel vision for Michael Thomas,

226
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,120
Speaker 1: so you can kind of feel kind of confident there. Uh,

227
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,679
Speaker 1: this year there isn't anything like that at all, So

228
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do there. Uh, speaking of

229
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: wide receivers, are we ready to ben Dk Metcalf? But

230
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,640
Speaker 1: it's getting very close to that point, Like, I mean,

231
00:11:07,679 --> 00:11:09,320
Speaker 1: do you know how many games he has with double

232
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:13,920
Speaker 1: digit targets this year? One? Like what are we doing? Seattle?

233
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 1: And part of the blame does belong to Russell Wilson.

234
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:19,320
Speaker 1: Part of it belongs to Pete Carroll and and the

235
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,360
Speaker 1: play callers. They're like, I don't know, you see DK

236
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,640
Speaker 1: Metcalf and what he could do on a football field,

237
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: and I mean you you see this guy every day

238
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,080
Speaker 1: on the practice squad, and like wouldn't you think, like

239
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,760
Speaker 1: we need to get this guy the ball as much

240
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:34,240
Speaker 1: as we possibly can? And They're just not doing a

241
00:11:34,280 --> 00:11:36,440
Speaker 1: good job of that right now, and Russell Wilson has

242
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: been struggling with accuracy ever since he returned. They haven't

243
00:11:39,600 --> 00:11:41,720
Speaker 1: been on the same page. I know it's been rough

244
00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:43,960
Speaker 1: the last three games in a row, all in single digits,

245
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:46,720
Speaker 1: but he still brings one of the highest ceilings each

246
00:11:46,760 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: and every week. So I'm not ready to bench him yet,

247
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 1: but I'm definitely very scared of of d K right now.

248
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,839
Speaker 1: It's just very concerning and and you're right, so much

249
00:11:54,840 --> 00:11:56,880
Speaker 1: of it has to be because that offense has not

250
00:11:57,400 --> 00:12:00,520
Speaker 1: been clicking at all. I mean, it had really been

251
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:02,679
Speaker 1: great much of the year, but especially since Russ has

252
00:12:02,679 --> 00:12:05,000
Speaker 1: come back from the finger injury, it's been even worse.

253
00:12:05,720 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: The only thing that kind of keeps d K in lineups,

254
00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:11,360
Speaker 1: I think is the ceiling, is knowing that when everything

255
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:16,240
Speaker 1: comes together, how explosive and how good he can be. Um.

256
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,439
Speaker 1: But yeah, it's hard to run him out there every

257
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,200
Speaker 1: week and and see these disappointing numbers come back and

258
00:12:21,240 --> 00:12:24,240
Speaker 1: not feel like you gotta do something, especially now. Look

259
00:12:24,280 --> 00:12:27,160
Speaker 1: we are week thirteen, so and mostly you're talking about

260
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:29,079
Speaker 1: this week and next week, and that's it for the

261
00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:33,280
Speaker 1: fantasy regular season. Um, you know you need either you

262
00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: need big performances to get you into the playoffs or

263
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: you're hoping for big things to help you get through

264
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,800
Speaker 1: the playoffs. And right now that Seattle offense is not

265
00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: delivering that. All right, last big question, which Patriots running

266
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: back do you trust the most? It seemed like an

267
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,400
Speaker 1: easy answer a few weeks ago, but as much as

268
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:52,520
Speaker 1: I hate to say it, Belatricks seemed to have reared

269
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,280
Speaker 1: their ugly head again. So if you're going in on

270
00:12:55,280 --> 00:12:57,640
Speaker 1: one of these guys, who's it gonna be? It would

271
00:12:57,679 --> 00:13:00,959
Speaker 1: be Damian Harris. But even with him, I don't feel

272
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:04,080
Speaker 1: great about it. What we've seen since Harris has returned

273
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: the last two weeks is they're gonna Stevenson and Harris

274
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: are gonna alternate drives, And in the two games they've played,

275
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,679
Speaker 1: they each have had between nine and twelve carries. Like

276
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,880
Speaker 1: it's not like one is getting a lot of volume.

277
00:13:15,880 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 1: They're they're legitimately splitting volume down the middle. And Damien

278
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,559
Speaker 1: Harris got the goal on look the other last game

279
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 1: and he scored a touchdown. But in the passing game,

280
00:13:24,200 --> 00:13:26,400
Speaker 1: Brandon Bolden is there now taking all of the targets

281
00:13:26,440 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 1: So for me, I think it's Harris, but I really

282
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:32,079
Speaker 1: believe that they're all just flex options at this point,

283
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:34,600
Speaker 1: especially this week and a tough matchup against the Bills,

284
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:37,000
Speaker 1: because none of those guys are are Derrick Henry or

285
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor. And I think when you mentioned Brandon Bolden,

286
00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:42,640
Speaker 1: that's the guy that really throws the wrench in this

287
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:46,559
Speaker 1: whole thing, because he's not getting enough that you're gonna

288
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:49,240
Speaker 1: start him, but he's getting enough that he takes a

289
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: little bit from each of the other guy. You know,

290
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,720
Speaker 1: Like if I think if it were just Damian Harris

291
00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: and Ramandre Stevenson, you could feel okay about starting one

292
00:13:58,400 --> 00:14:01,079
Speaker 1: or both of those guys, But the Bolden is taken

293
00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 1: just enough off of each guy's plate that you feel like,

294
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: I don't know what to do about it. Uh. It's

295
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:09,679
Speaker 1: become a really confusing situation there when I feel like

296
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,840
Speaker 1: we had gotten to the point where I think we

297
00:14:11,960 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: believed we could, you know, kind of trust Patriots running back,

298
00:14:15,920 --> 00:14:18,440
Speaker 1: that we had figured out the situation. Uh. And just

299
00:14:18,480 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: a reminder that Bill Belichick hates our fantasy teams. That's

300
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 1: all there is to it. He's he's high on the

301
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,840
Speaker 1: list of coaches that hate our fantasy teams. So thank

302
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 1: he's also high on the list of coaches that fantasy

303
00:14:28,840 --> 00:14:32,320
Speaker 1: managers hate. Yes, yeah, it's mutual. Out Yeah, it's it's

304
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:36,720
Speaker 1: definitely mutual. So you know, yeah, bleep you all right?

305
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:40,840
Speaker 1: I get the start game previews. Uh, to start Week thirteen,

306
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:42,880
Speaker 1: Let's start with the Thursday night game. As we talked

307
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:45,400
Speaker 1: about the Cowboys heading to New Orleans to take on

308
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:48,720
Speaker 1: the Saints. Both these teams kind of scuffling right now

309
00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: a little bit, both of them suffering losses, disappointing losses

310
00:14:52,640 --> 00:14:56,080
Speaker 1: on Thanksgiving Day. But for a from a fantasy perspective,

311
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:58,960
Speaker 1: what should people be paying attention to here? I think

312
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 1: you could start taste Hill and his team, And we

313
00:15:01,440 --> 00:15:04,760
Speaker 1: were just talking about how he is the one we're

314
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:07,080
Speaker 1: worried about him because of the running backs. But for him,

315
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: if he's running near the goal line and rushing for

316
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,680
Speaker 1: four day yards a game like he did last year

317
00:15:11,680 --> 00:15:13,960
Speaker 1: as a starter, it is going to mean good things

318
00:15:13,960 --> 00:15:16,840
Speaker 1: for fantasy. Last season, in his four starts, he sat

319
00:15:16,880 --> 00:15:19,640
Speaker 1: between seventeen and a half and twenty four Fantasy points

320
00:15:19,840 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 1: in every game. So to me, that shows that he

321
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 1: brings a safe floor with some upside. I think in

322
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: a game where these Saints could have to put up

323
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:29,840
Speaker 1: points to keep up with the Cowboys, he's like a

324
00:15:29,920 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: borderline QB one. This week I think I think so too.

325
00:15:32,720 --> 00:15:35,160
Speaker 1: Um you know I put him. Uh you know, I

326
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: didn't put him in the sleeper's column this week. I

327
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: do think though, he is worth a start, just because

328
00:15:39,480 --> 00:15:41,920
Speaker 1: he's kind of a wild card. Uh. You know, in

329
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:44,120
Speaker 1: theory he's gonna play quarterback, which means he's gonna throw

330
00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:47,840
Speaker 1: the football. He can run it. But look, knowing Sean

331
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Payton wouldn't be surprised if they do some wrinkle where

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:53,600
Speaker 1: he catches a couple of passes to take some hill.

333
00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:55,600
Speaker 1: By the way, is the only quarterback where you can

334
00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:58,520
Speaker 1: ask me like, hey, PPR, should I start tasting Hill? Like,

335
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: please don't do that. Please don't ask fantasy analysts Like

336
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:04,360
Speaker 1: if you have a quarterback question, that's fine. You don't

337
00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: even tell us sense PPR because there aren't enough quarterbacks

338
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:09,960
Speaker 1: out there catching passes that it makes a difference standard PPR.

339
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,960
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter. Do you just ask the question, do

340
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,359
Speaker 1: you think we see like packages where like both quarterbacks

341
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: are out there and like Hill can like run I

342
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 1: absolutely do. I think more team if you have a

343
00:16:20,360 --> 00:16:22,880
Speaker 1: mobile quarterback, like let them line up as a running back, like,

344
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:24,520
Speaker 1: pitch it to him and then they could throw if

345
00:16:24,560 --> 00:16:26,560
Speaker 1: if there's I don't know if that's something that I

346
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: would do a lot more of five, right, I know,

347
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:30,600
Speaker 1: I would not be surprised if we see Trevor Simeon

348
00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:33,200
Speaker 1: come out there and like Tayso Hill splits out wide

349
00:16:33,240 --> 00:16:35,840
Speaker 1: and they throw him a ball or two. Like, wouldn't

350
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:38,720
Speaker 1: surprise me in the least. Uh. Next up, the Washington

351
00:16:38,760 --> 00:16:41,200
Speaker 1: football team comes out to Las Vegas to take on

352
00:16:41,320 --> 00:16:43,800
Speaker 1: the Raiders, and I'm gonna tell you can start Hunter

353
00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,440
Speaker 1: Renfro in this game. I came into the year thinking

354
00:16:47,560 --> 00:16:49,600
Speaker 1: that once again Darren Waller was going to have a

355
00:16:49,720 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: huge target share, way more than everybody else. That hasn't

356
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:56,440
Speaker 1: been the case this year. As of this moment, Hunter

357
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: Renfro is just two targets behind Darren Waller this season,

358
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 1: and he actually leads the Raiders in receptions and receiving yards,

359
00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,479
Speaker 1: actually leads and receiving touchdowns as well, I believe. And

360
00:17:07,600 --> 00:17:10,440
Speaker 1: you look, the part of the Washington team that has

361
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,679
Speaker 1: been disappointing has been defensively. They are giving up a

362
00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:15,560
Speaker 1: ton of yards, they're giving up a lot of points.

363
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:20,160
Speaker 1: They're one of the worst defenses against wide receivers. And

364
00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:22,879
Speaker 1: when you've got that kind of volume that Hunter Renfro

365
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,440
Speaker 1: is getting, I think that makes him words starting. He's

366
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,879
Speaker 1: sort of I hate that the comparison, but he's he's

367
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: kind of a Julian Edelman type now in terms of

368
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,239
Speaker 1: what he does underneath and the production he gives you. Uh,

369
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:34,480
Speaker 1: it's I think it's hard to keep him out of

370
00:17:34,520 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: your line up nowadays. Yeah, completely agreed. Double digit Fantasy

371
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:39,879
Speaker 1: points in all but two games this year. He brings

372
00:17:39,920 --> 00:17:42,200
Speaker 1: such a safe floor. But as of late, I mean

373
00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:44,360
Speaker 1: he's over seventeen Fantasy points in three of his last

374
00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:46,960
Speaker 1: four games. He's showing that he's bringing some upside as well.

375
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: I agree. I think, especially when a waller, you've gotta

376
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,000
Speaker 1: start hunting. Absolutely. By the way, I think maybe we'll

377
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:53,199
Speaker 1: get to a little bit later. I was gonna give

378
00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:54,600
Speaker 1: you a sleeper, but I think we're gonna have him

379
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 1: a little bit later on in the show, So stick

380
00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: stay tuned for that. All right, in his time for

381
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:02,320
Speaker 1: a break, but when we continue our game previews will

382
00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: keep all with a couple of must start players that's

383
00:18:04,359 --> 00:18:16,160
Speaker 1: coming up next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. You're

384
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:18,240

388
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: just an excuse because the specialists wanted to put a

389
00:18:29,240 --> 00:18:33,240
Speaker 1: video of me dancing. Uh, saying a fun party, right,

390
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:36,639
Speaker 1: It's like me wearing a hat and weird sunglasses and

391
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:38,600

Speaker 1: follow us at NFL Fantasy one way or another. It's

396
00:18:48,040 --> 00:18:50,840
Speaker 1: all good, all right, Let's keep going with our game

397
00:18:50,880 --> 00:18:55,120
Speaker 1: previews for the week. The Chargers at the Bengals are

398
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:58,600
Speaker 1: our pal and former colleague. Dave Damashek actually reminded me

399
00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:01,200
Speaker 1: that it's been about forty years since the Chargers and

400
00:19:01,280 --> 00:19:04,119
Speaker 1: Bengals played what was called the Freezer Bowl, one of

401
00:19:04,119 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: the best playoff games of all time, and I think

402
00:19:05,880 --> 00:19:08,960
Speaker 1: it was something like like twenty below zero or something

403
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: like that. In Cincinnati, it was something ridiculously cold, to

404
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 1: the point that I think Dan Fault says he still

405
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,240
Speaker 1: has numbness in his fingers after having played in that game.

406
00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:19,120
Speaker 1: That seems bad. I don't think it's gonna be nearly

407
00:19:19,160 --> 00:19:21,520
Speaker 1: that cold and Cincinnati this week. That has nothing to

408
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:23,800
Speaker 1: do with fantasy football. What does happen to do fantasy

409
00:19:23,800 --> 00:19:26,120
Speaker 1: football is what you're about to tell us right now. Though. Yeah,

410
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,119
Speaker 1: my only thought when you were telling me that was like,

411
00:19:28,160 --> 00:19:30,160
Speaker 1: I bet you they were still an offensive lineman who

412
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:34,159
Speaker 1: didn't wear sleeves. But in this game for fantasy, I

413
00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: think you should be aware of the Bengals receivers, particularly

414
00:19:38,359 --> 00:19:41,080
Speaker 1: jimmaar Chas and t Higgins. I understand that you might

415
00:19:41,080 --> 00:19:43,120
Speaker 1: not be able to just fully get away from them

416
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: this week, but if you have a similarly ranked option,

417
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,040
Speaker 1: it could be a good week to take it. The

418
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,440
Speaker 1: Chargers have allowed these second fewest fantasy points to receivers

419
00:19:50,480 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: this year. Only five receivers has top fifteen fantasy points

420
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: against them. They've held some big name receivers in check,

421
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:02,159
Speaker 1: like Adam Dealing, Tyreek killed Terry McLaurin, Marquis Brown, and

422
00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,359
Speaker 1: Marii Cooper, Odell Beckham. A lot of big name receivers

423
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,479
Speaker 1: just had bad days against them. And Jamaar Chase has

424
00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: been struggling the last month. Tee Higgins. I know he

425
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:12,760
Speaker 1: had a big game this past week, but he's been

426
00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 1: so up and down that I have them both ranked.

427
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:18,160
Speaker 1: It's like low end wide receiver two's. But if you're

428
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,760
Speaker 1: debating between them and a closely ranked option, I would

429
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,360
Speaker 1: go with the other options. Yeah. The Jamar Chase uh

430
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,760
Speaker 1: slump has been really noticeable. I's been really frustrating for

431
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: a whole lot of people. By the way, I looked

432
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,440
Speaker 1: it up. The Freezer Bowl it was is minus nine degrees,

433
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:37,560
Speaker 1: but with windshield was minus fifty nine. Oh that's like

434
00:20:37,640 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: Game of Thrones type. That is literally Game of Thrones winter.

435
00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: That is literally Game of Thrones Winter. So I expect

436
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:45,120
Speaker 1: it's not going to be that golden Cincinnati this week,

437
00:20:45,119 --> 00:20:47,480
Speaker 1: and if it is, I just stay inside. Yeah. I

438
00:20:47,480 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 1: was gonna say, like, where are sleeves at the right something? Anything?

439
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,119
Speaker 1: All right? Ravens at the Steelers. A big game in

440
00:20:55,119 --> 00:20:57,000
Speaker 1: the a f C North, which all the games in

441
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: the a f c North are big because there's really

442
00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: no clear at front runner in that division right now.

443
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,440
Speaker 1: But I would say if you are starting anybody, Pat

444
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,000
Speaker 1: Friarmouth is a must start with an asterisk. Uh. If

445
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Speaker 1: he is available, he's still going through the concussion protocol,

446
00:21:11,080 --> 00:21:13,320
Speaker 1: so we will wait to get an official designation on

447
00:21:13,359 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 1: whether or not he's actually gonna be active. But if

448
00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,200
Speaker 1: he does play, he needs to be in your lineup.

449
00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: I mean, if he's reached the point where he probably

450
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:23,240
Speaker 1: has reached must start status every week kind of based

451
00:21:23,240 --> 00:21:25,480
Speaker 1: on the rest of the tight end position. But on

452
00:21:25,520 --> 00:21:27,959
Speaker 1: top of it, it's still a great matchup against the Ravens.

453
00:21:28,040 --> 00:21:31,440
Speaker 1: They have gotten better against tight ends as the year

454
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:34,560
Speaker 1: has progressed, but they're still one of the bottom ten

455
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:38,160
Speaker 1: teams against the position this year. So throwing the fact

456
00:21:38,200 --> 00:21:41,560
Speaker 1: that the Steeler passing game has been incredibly inconsistent, but

457
00:21:41,720 --> 00:21:43,119
Speaker 1: there may be you know a couple of guys you

458
00:21:43,160 --> 00:21:47,040
Speaker 1: can trust Deante Johnson, it's Pat friar Muth. So if

459
00:21:47,080 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: you've got him on your roster, he probably needs unless

460
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: you you know somehow, I guess you could have Travis

461
00:21:52,119 --> 00:21:54,200
Speaker 1: Kelsey and you picked up fire Muth off the waiver wire,

462
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: then maybe you have a decision, but most of us don't.

463
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:01,200
Speaker 1: So start Pat Fiarmouth. This week, Uh, Giants at the Dolphins,

464
00:22:01,200 --> 00:22:04,320
Speaker 1: we talked about the Giant side with Mike Glennan maybe

465
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,919
Speaker 1: possibly starting and uh starting Shepherd maybe coming back. Uh,

466
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 1: anybody on the Dolphins side worth paying attention to. Yeah,

467
00:22:10,600 --> 00:22:13,800
Speaker 1: I think Jalen Waddle is a must start option at

468
00:22:13,840 --> 00:22:17,399
Speaker 1: this point, and the Dolphins offense is one that doesn't

469
00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:19,560
Speaker 1: have a whole lot of fantasy options. It's really like

470
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:23,280
Speaker 1: Gasking and Waddle and Sicky who's been struggling, but Waddle.

471
00:22:23,440 --> 00:22:26,120
Speaker 1: Since Week six, he's in the top ten and targets

472
00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: per game, target share, fantasy points per game amongst receivers.

473
00:22:29,400 --> 00:22:33,040
Speaker 1: He is on pays to break the rookie receptions record

474
00:22:33,119 --> 00:22:35,680
Speaker 1: this season, and the Giants are in the top ten

475
00:22:35,720 --> 00:22:38,720
Speaker 1: and fantasy points allowed two receivers. So even if the

476
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Dolphins don't have to throw a bunch, we know that

477
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,680
Speaker 1: it's gonna be a funneled passing attack that runs through

478
00:22:43,760 --> 00:22:46,399
Speaker 1: Jalen Waddle. So I think he's reached a point Marcus

479
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,199
Speaker 1: where he's matchup proof, and he just started him each

480
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,760
Speaker 1: and every week. I think so too. Um, you know

481
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,320
Speaker 1: will Fuller apparently has multiple fractures in his finger. I

482
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:57,879
Speaker 1: maybe he comes back. I don't really understand when, or

483
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:00,560
Speaker 1: why or how at this point. So uh, Ellen Waddle

484
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:04,119
Speaker 1: has become the receiver of record down in Miami. Uh

485
00:23:04,320 --> 00:23:07,960
Speaker 1: Cardinals at the Bears, which you know, every time I

486
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:10,480
Speaker 1: think of Cardinals and Bears, I think of Danny Green.

487
00:23:10,960 --> 00:23:13,040
Speaker 1: They are who we thought they were. Rest in peace,

488
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:16,600
Speaker 1: Danny Green. Uh this same new era. And I always

489
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:19,000
Speaker 1: say you can start zach Ertz here because the Bears

490
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,520
Speaker 1: have had their problems there there. It is nice gob

491
00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:29,200
Speaker 1: nice job the Bears were. Absolutely the Bears have had

492
00:23:29,240 --> 00:23:32,880
Speaker 1: their issues with tight ends. So far this season, zach

493
00:23:32,960 --> 00:23:35,639
Speaker 1: Ertz has been a huge kit for the Arizona Cardinals.

494
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: And this is a team that came into the season

495
00:23:37,160 --> 00:23:39,560
Speaker 1: with a ton of pass catchers, a ton of wide receivers.

496
00:23:40,080 --> 00:23:43,199
Speaker 1: But zach Ertz has been amazing. I like his opportunities,

497
00:23:43,200 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: that like his volume, especially if Kyler is back in

498
00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:48,560
Speaker 1: this offense again this week, So make sure you have

499
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:50,000
Speaker 1: them in your line up because the Bears have have

500
00:23:50,040 --> 00:23:52,359
Speaker 1: had their issues with tight ends. Um. I didn't think

501
00:23:52,359 --> 00:23:54,320
Speaker 1: we'd be talking about zach Ertz as much of a

502
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:56,320
Speaker 1: playmaker as we have this year. It's been great though

503
00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:58,560
Speaker 1: for him. Yeah, and and I mean, hey, it can

504
00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,400
Speaker 1: only get better if Kylie Mary comes back. So so

505
00:24:01,440 --> 00:24:04,639
Speaker 1: absolutely so get him in your lineup this week. So

506
00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,600
Speaker 1: we're giving you some starting sits right now. We're gonna

507
00:24:06,600 --> 00:24:09,200
Speaker 1: have plenty of them for you though on Thursday, because

508
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:11,080
Speaker 1: every Thursday it's a startom sent Him show with the

509
00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,720
Speaker 1: Michael florioda at a branking Timmy checks and money guns

510
00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 1: and the whole deal. Uh. So you know I want

511
00:24:16,080 --> 00:24:18,359
Speaker 1: to find it four pm Eastern streaming live there. It's

512
00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:21,879
Speaker 1: also on demand in the whole family of NFL apps

513
00:24:21,920 --> 00:24:25,239
Speaker 1: and platforms and on the YouTube's as well, so you're

514
00:24:25,240 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: sure to check it out. Forty Niners and the Seahawks.

515
00:24:29,359 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: Seahawks season might be just about over after that loss

516
00:24:32,359 --> 00:24:34,840
Speaker 1: on Monday night, but the Niners right now sitting in

517
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 1: the sixth seed uh in the NFC for the playoffs.

518
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:42,440
Speaker 1: But Deebo Samuel, he's the guy that we pulled out

519
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:45,280
Speaker 1: of the pack this week, likely going to miss at

520
00:24:45,320 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: least a little bit of time with an injury. Uh.

521
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,960
Speaker 1: The Niners have said that if he is out, which

522
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: is expected, Jawan Jennings could move up to be the

523
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: number two wide receiver. But as you look at this,

524
00:24:57,359 --> 00:25:00,479
Speaker 1: who benefits the most from Deebo missing some times? I

525
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,600
Speaker 1: think everyone benefits because that's how much usage Deebo Samuel

526
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,000
Speaker 1: was seeing each week. But I think the biggest benefactor

527
00:25:07,119 --> 00:25:09,560
Speaker 1: is Brandon Aiyuk, who the last couple of weeks has

528
00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: retaken over as the number one wide receiver. I say

529
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,119
Speaker 1: that because Diebel Samuel has been scoring all of his

530
00:25:15,160 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: fantasy points as a running back as of late, which

531
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 1: is why I think it helps. Like Eliza Mitchell, I

532
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 1: think Jawan Jennings is worthy of a flyer in deeper leagues,

533
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: but Ayuk has been, uh been that player that we

534
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,800
Speaker 1: were hoping he would be coming into the season. He's

535
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:31,240
Speaker 1: making plays downfield, he's making plays in the end zone,

536
00:25:31,400 --> 00:25:34,359
Speaker 1: He's getting more volumes. So I think he is someone

537
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: that you can just as of right now with no

538
00:25:36,359 --> 00:25:38,639
Speaker 1: Deebel Samuel. I think he's like a must start option

539
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: right now. Uh Yeah, I think Brandon he definitely a

540
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:42,520
Speaker 1: must start, and I'm glad that he's finally starting to

541
00:25:42,560 --> 00:25:44,439
Speaker 1: get integrated into the offense. But I would say the

542
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:48,280
Speaker 1: guy who maybe benefits the most weirdly is Jeff Wilson Jr.

543
00:25:48,720 --> 00:25:51,960
Speaker 1: Because the way the Niners have been using brand Deebo

544
00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Samuel has been primarily as a running back. I mean,

545
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: Deebo was a top ten wide receiver last week with

546
00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,760
Speaker 1: one catch one whole catch. He did most of his

547
00:26:01,840 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: damage on the ground. Over the last three games, Deebo

548
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:08,480
Speaker 1: Samuel has run for a hundred and seventy one yards.

549
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,800
Speaker 1: By contrast, Uh, that's more than Trace Sermon has for

550
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:15,520
Speaker 1: the entire season. So they're using him very much in

551
00:26:15,560 --> 00:26:18,240
Speaker 1: the running game. Obviously, Eli Mitchell has been great and

552
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: he's going to continue to get work, but they don't

553
00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: have Debo. Maybe this means Jeff Wilson gets on the

554
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,359
Speaker 1: field and get some of those touches that otherwise would

555
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,680
Speaker 1: have gone to Samuel. So I know it sounds weird

556
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,760
Speaker 1: to say that the guy who benefits the most from

557
00:26:29,760 --> 00:26:32,399
Speaker 1: a wide receiver being out is a running back. But

558
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 1: it's been a weird year, and then I have done

559
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,680
Speaker 1: some weird things with their offense. So that's where we

560
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:41,280
Speaker 1: are right now. Uh. The next one on our list strange.

561
00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about him at all this year, but

562
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:46,240
Speaker 1: it's Tom Brady Thomas Edward Patrick Brady or Patrick Edward

563
00:26:46,240 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 1: Brady or something, or the Pharaoh as they call him

564
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:50,720
Speaker 1: on Pro Football Reference, which is weird because I've literally

565
00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:54,480
Speaker 1: never heard anybody say that about him at all. Whatsoever. Uh,

566
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,639
Speaker 1: simple question, can Tom Brady carry you to AY Fantasy

567
00:26:57,680 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: Championship this year? Yes? Like, I mean, he's that good.

568
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:04,200
Speaker 1: He is the goat for a reason. But the thing

569
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: that I really like about Tom Brady, um, he's consistent.

570
00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,639
Speaker 1: He's only had a couple of games all year with

571
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,840
Speaker 1: down Fantasy games. He has two games all year without

572
00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,640
Speaker 1: multiple passing touchdowns. We know he's not going to run

573
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,240
Speaker 1: a whole lot and that kind of limits his upside

574
00:27:19,240 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: a little bit. But I don't think it matters when

575
00:27:21,160 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: you have Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, Gronkowski, Leonard four Nette,

576
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: and he's going to get Antonio Brown back soon as well.

577
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,880
Speaker 1: Plus you look at the Bucks schedule, like the Falcons,

578
00:27:31,880 --> 00:27:34,639
Speaker 1: who he dominates in his career. Uh something about a

579
00:27:34,680 --> 00:27:36,399
Speaker 1: big comeback in a Super Bowler. I think I heard

580
00:27:36,400 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: about that once. Yeah, then he gets the bill is

581
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,120
Speaker 1: kind of tough. The Saints, which is a good matchup,

582
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 1: the Panthers, which is is an okay matchup, and then

583
00:27:44,160 --> 00:27:47,000
Speaker 1: in the championship week he gets the New York Jets

584
00:27:47,520 --> 00:27:50,520
Speaker 1: that he has dominated his years. So yeah, I think

585
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:53,800
Speaker 1: Tom Brady can win some people in some fantasy championships.

586
00:27:54,040 --> 00:27:57,520
Speaker 1: I mean, he's we talk about this all the time.

587
00:27:57,520 --> 00:28:01,240
Speaker 1: It is amazing what he has done over twenty plus

588
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:03,520
Speaker 1: years in the NFL. It's amazing what he's doing right

589
00:28:03,600 --> 00:28:06,119
Speaker 1: now at age forty four. And I still have this

590
00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:08,840
Speaker 1: feeling that we get to next August, people will still

591
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,200
Speaker 1: be making him like the tenth or twelve quarterback off

592
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,000
Speaker 1: probably one of them. Right, He'll still hang around in

593
00:28:14,080 --> 00:28:16,400
Speaker 1: drafts until like the ninth or tenth round, and we'll

594
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:18,400
Speaker 1: still debate like, hey, is this the year that Tom

595
00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 1: Brady falls off? Like I don't know, regression is coming

596
00:28:21,160 --> 00:28:23,480
Speaker 1: and I throw forty touchdowns again, and we'll be like,

597
00:28:23,520 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: we're all idiots, why did we do this? Tom Brady

598
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:28,679
Speaker 1: is still great and he's going to play football with

599
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:32,560
Speaker 1: at a high level until the sun explodes. So um, yeah,

600
00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,119
Speaker 1: he can very much win you a fantasy championship. That

601
00:28:35,200 --> 00:28:38,480
Speaker 1: was my long roundabout semi frustrated saying that I pulled

602
00:28:38,560 --> 00:28:41,920
Speaker 1: up his Pro Football Reference page and Pharaoh is one

603
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 1: of his nicknames that I've never heard of another one

604
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:48,800
Speaker 1: comeback kid or sir. Yeah, like what comeback kid is

605
00:28:48,840 --> 00:28:52,480
Speaker 1: so generic? When did he become comeback? Comeback kid was

606
00:28:52,520 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: probably like what his first couple of years in the league,

607
00:28:55,480 --> 00:28:58,400
Speaker 1: maybe you know, when he was still young. Then that's

608
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:00,560
Speaker 1: really against the Falcons. They were like, well he's a

609
00:29:00,680 --> 00:29:06,120
Speaker 1: sir now, Sir Tom Brady, who knows. Whatever I'm gonna

610
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: go through, maybe it'll be my offseason projects going through

611
00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,840
Speaker 1: Pro Football Reference and pulling all the weird nicknames for plus,

612
00:29:11,640 --> 00:29:13,560
Speaker 1: there's a ton. There's a ton right like that we

613
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:15,800
Speaker 1: never knew that nobody ever uses and somehow lamp it

614
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:19,560
Speaker 1: on the page. Whatever. Alright, time for our last break.

615
00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:21,600
Speaker 1: We'll finish up our game previews and we got some

616
00:29:21,640 --> 00:29:23,560
Speaker 1: sleeper picks. Want to wrap up the show next on

617
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: the NFL Fantasy Football Show, Let's get back to our

618
00:29:32,760 --> 00:29:37,240
Speaker 1: game previews. The Colts and the Texans very quietly, the

619
00:29:37,280 --> 00:29:40,240
Speaker 1: Indianapolis Colts have become kind of a juggernaile and they

620
00:29:40,280 --> 00:29:42,479
Speaker 1: are a team to be reckoned with. Uh in the

621
00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,240
Speaker 1: a f C. I know, the record is what just

622
00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: kind of mediocre. I think there's six and six, but

623
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: they're they're playing really really good football. Uh. Fantasy wise,

624
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: what are what are you doing here? I'm saying t

625
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:56,840
Speaker 1: Y Hilton is a sleeper, and partially because I think

626
00:29:56,840 --> 00:29:59,120
Speaker 1: with the Colts it's kind of straightforward. You start j T,

627
00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 1: start Mike Pittman, but after I mean, t Y Hilton

628
00:30:02,680 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 1: has made a career off of thriving against You saw

629
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,480
Speaker 1: him have a big game against him last season. Uh,

630
00:30:10,520 --> 00:30:13,400
Speaker 1: and he's been getting pretty consistent volume with at least

631
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:15,760
Speaker 1: five targets in each game since he's returned off of

632
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:18,800
Speaker 1: the I r uh. He watching hard knocks. He is

633
00:30:18,840 --> 00:30:21,080
Speaker 1: still like the heart and soul of that offense, even

634
00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: though he's not what he once was. So I think

635
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: in a game like this, where it will be a

636
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:28,560
Speaker 1: favorable matchup for for Hilton and the Colts, I think

637
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:30,200
Speaker 1: they look to get him the ball a little bit

638
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:32,000
Speaker 1: more as well. I think if you're going a little

639
00:30:32,040 --> 00:30:35,440
Speaker 1: bit deeper at receiver, Hilton is an upside flyer worth taking.

640
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:37,800
Speaker 1: I mean he you talked about him against the Texans,

641
00:30:37,880 --> 00:30:41,560
Speaker 1: he has absolutely dominated them in his career. His his

642
00:30:41,760 --> 00:30:46,080
Speaker 1: average UH in nineteen games against Houston five catches, nine

643
00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,720
Speaker 1: four yards. I mean that that's the average, right, So

644
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: that's not that's not taking into account like the big games,

645
00:30:51,400 --> 00:30:54,480
Speaker 1: the explosive games he's had against them. That's just his like,

646
00:30:54,520 --> 00:30:57,680
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that's my home average day. I'm still giving

647
00:30:57,680 --> 00:31:00,360
Speaker 1: you five catches for ninety four yards. So I think

648
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:03,560
Speaker 1: that's a very good sleeper pick. Eagles and the Jets.

649
00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,200
Speaker 1: Last week was not a great week for the Eagles offense.

650
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,600
Speaker 1: You didn't get good games out of anybody. I mean,

651
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,600
Speaker 1: Miles Sanders kind of rolled an ankle so that limited him. Uh,

652
00:31:12,680 --> 00:31:15,600
Speaker 1: DeVante Smith was nowhere to be found. Jalen Hurts was disappointed.

653
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: This feels like a bounce back week against the Jets.

654
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,200
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna say, you can start Devonte Smith, get

655
00:31:21,280 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 1: him back in the lineup, regain that trust in him.

656
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,800
Speaker 1: This is still a fairly funneled passing game where everything

657
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:31,080
Speaker 1: is either going to Smith or to Dallas Goddard. I

658
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:33,280
Speaker 1: know that there have been some reports about Jalen Smith

659
00:31:33,320 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: being or Jalen Hurts I should say, being a little

660
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: bit hobbled during practice this week. Keep an eye on that,

661
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,760
Speaker 1: but it does seem like he should play, should be

662
00:31:40,800 --> 00:31:43,479
Speaker 1: good to go. It's a great matchup, so I like

663
00:31:43,560 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: a lot of the Philadelphia pass catchers. But I'm especially

664
00:31:46,400 --> 00:31:48,880
Speaker 1: back on board with DeVante Smith this week. I think

665
00:31:48,880 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 1: it looks good for him. Yeah, last week was another

666
00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: one of those games where teams like just willingly took

667
00:31:53,480 --> 00:31:55,040
Speaker 1: one of their best weapons away. They threw to him

668
00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,640
Speaker 1: four times to do the Dallas Carter three times. Like,

669
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: I don't hear it. Defenses could be good, but so

670
00:32:00,160 --> 00:32:02,959
Speaker 1: are your offensive players. Give them a chance. Just again,

671
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: just throw to your good players. I mean, basically, we

672
00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: could come on here and just makes us say that

673
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:09,280
Speaker 1: for an hour. Um, it probably would not make for

674
00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:11,320
Speaker 1: a very entertaining show, but it would be true. It

675
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:15,120
Speaker 1: would be factual. Uh, Jaguars at the Rams. That'll be

676
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:17,640
Speaker 1: played just like on the other side of this wall,

677
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:20,680
Speaker 1: basically our next door neighbors, the Los Angeles Rams, hosting

678
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:25,640
Speaker 1: the Jaguars in the Jalen Ramsey revenge game. Even though

679
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: I don't I don't even know how many guys are

680
00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:30,080
Speaker 1: left from most things. Not many. There's not a lot

681
00:32:30,120 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 1: of guys left from them. Uh. In the meantime, though,

682
00:32:33,080 --> 00:32:35,880
Speaker 1: fantasy wise, what what should we pay attention to? Going

683
00:32:35,920 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 1: a little bit deeper here, but I'm thinking that Sony

684
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:42,240
Speaker 1: Michelle is a sleeper in this game because Darryl Henderson

685
00:32:42,440 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: is banged up right now, he's dealing with the quad strain.

686
00:32:44,760 --> 00:32:47,960
Speaker 1: They're unsure if he's going to suit up in this game.

687
00:32:48,320 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 1: And this is a game where I don't think they're

688
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:52,600
Speaker 1: gonna have to push Henderson either that even if that

689
00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,320
Speaker 1: means to suit up or if that means just limiting

690
00:32:55,400 --> 00:32:57,800
Speaker 1: him while he does play. This is a game where

691
00:32:57,800 --> 00:32:59,800
Speaker 1: I think the Rams will be playing with the lead throughout,

692
00:33:00,080 --> 00:33:01,680
Speaker 1: and if that's the case, I think we could see

693
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,600
Speaker 1: a lot of Sony Michelle in the second half, just

694
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: grinding out the clock. I know that Jaguars have been

695
00:33:06,200 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: better against the run than they get credit for, but

696
00:33:08,760 --> 00:33:10,840
Speaker 1: I still think he could see enough volume where he

697
00:33:10,920 --> 00:33:13,640
Speaker 1: is a flex option. And if Henderson sits, then I

698
00:33:13,640 --> 00:33:15,680
Speaker 1: think he becomes like a top twenty running back that

699
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 1: you have to start. This feels like bad news for

700
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:20,920
Speaker 1: the Jaguars right because there's been so much talk about,

701
00:33:21,000 --> 00:33:23,560
Speaker 1: you know, the Rams not putting it together. Since they've

702
00:33:23,560 --> 00:33:26,960
Speaker 1: gone this all in uh mentality, they haven't won a game.

703
00:33:27,400 --> 00:33:30,120
Speaker 1: People are wondering what's wrong with Matthew Stafford. They're still

704
00:33:30,120 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: trying to integrate Odell and now here comes the Jaguars.

705
00:33:33,160 --> 00:33:34,840
Speaker 1: Were just sort of limping along and they're coming to

706
00:33:34,920 --> 00:33:39,080
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. Uh, this just seems like bad timing for Jacksonville. Unfortunately,

707
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,520
Speaker 1: this could be a get healthy game for a whole

708
00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,720
Speaker 1: lot of people wearing that the ram horns on their helmet. Yeah,

709
00:33:44,840 --> 00:33:46,880
Speaker 1: I still think you start all your rams, start them all,

710
00:33:46,960 --> 00:33:49,200
Speaker 1: start them all, start them all. All right, let's look

711
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,200
Speaker 1: at the Vikings and the Lions, and I've got the

712
00:33:53,320 --> 00:33:57,920
Speaker 1: Vikings as a sleeper defense this week. That's right, we're

713
00:33:57,920 --> 00:34:01,959
Speaker 1: blowing the yaller horn h for this. When the Vikings defense,

714
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:04,000
Speaker 1: I mean a few years ago, they were kind of

715
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:06,720
Speaker 1: a must start defense. Those days are kind of in

716
00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,040
Speaker 1: the rear view mirror. But this is an opportunity maybe

717
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: to give them another shot. Mostly because of who the

718
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:14,360
Speaker 1: opponent is. I will say that they are. Uh. The

719
00:34:14,400 --> 00:34:17,359
Speaker 1: Lions offense is better with Jared Golf than it was

720
00:34:17,640 --> 00:34:20,760
Speaker 1: with I don't know who David Blow or Tim Boyle

721
00:34:20,920 --> 00:34:23,560
Speaker 1: or whoever was they were starting a couple of weeks ago.

722
00:34:23,600 --> 00:34:27,040
Speaker 1: But still, Uh, this is an offense that has not

723
00:34:27,160 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: scored twenty points except for Week one, they scored thirty

724
00:34:30,440 --> 00:34:32,279
Speaker 1: three in a loss against the forty Niners. They have

725
00:34:32,360 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: not reached twenty points in a game since then. Uh.

726
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:37,800
Speaker 1: They're turning the ball over at as still a pretty

727
00:34:37,800 --> 00:34:40,279
Speaker 1: consistent rate. So if you're looking for a defense, you

728
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,839
Speaker 1: want one that's not going to give up a lot

729
00:34:41,840 --> 00:34:43,719
Speaker 1: of points when they can get some sacks, when they

730
00:34:43,719 --> 00:34:45,840
Speaker 1: can get some turnovers. Uh. And that feels like it

731
00:34:45,880 --> 00:34:48,680
Speaker 1: could be the Vikings this week against the Detroit Lions.

732
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,280
Speaker 1: I know DeAndre Swift too, so, so one more weapon

733
00:34:52,680 --> 00:34:54,680
Speaker 1: out of the mix there for for Detroit. So it

734
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,000
Speaker 1: seems bad all around, uh for the Lions this week.

735
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:00,719
Speaker 1: All right, wrap this up with Sunday Night football and

736
00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:04,000
Speaker 1: what it could be very interesting the Broncos and the Chiefs. Uh.

737
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:06,279
Speaker 1: Denver is still very much in the mix in the

738
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,200
Speaker 1: a f C West Kansas City, feeling like they have

739
00:35:09,320 --> 00:35:12,320
Speaker 1: maybe righted the ship. Uh, what are we paying attention

740
00:35:12,360 --> 00:35:15,320
Speaker 1: to here? I think you could start Jerry Judy and

741
00:35:15,360 --> 00:35:18,120
Speaker 1: I'm giving him one more chance here. I've been the

742
00:35:18,200 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: high guy on Jerry Judy this year. It hasn't worked

743
00:35:20,880 --> 00:35:24,200
Speaker 1: out how I had envisioned. But last week he saw

744
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:27,000
Speaker 1: just three targets. It was in a weird game where

745
00:35:27,400 --> 00:35:30,399
Speaker 1: the Chargers had to lead throughout teddy Bridge order got hurt,

746
00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: Lock came in. They only threw twenty five times all game.

747
00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: I think they're gonna have to throw more this week

748
00:35:36,120 --> 00:35:38,440
Speaker 1: to keep up with Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense.

749
00:35:38,719 --> 00:35:41,439
Speaker 1: And in the two games prior to last week, Jerry

750
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Judy had seventeen targets combined, so and we know that

751
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:47,440
Speaker 1: he is their top target. I think he'll get more volume,

752
00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,319
Speaker 1: and I'm thinking in a game against the Chiefs, I'm

753
00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:52,520
Speaker 1: expecting the Chiefs offense to look more like the Chiefs

754
00:35:52,560 --> 00:35:54,960
Speaker 1: coming off to buy, which means that I think the

755
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,000
Speaker 1: the Broncos will have to throw more and we'll have

756
00:35:57,080 --> 00:35:58,799
Speaker 1: to put a point to try to keep up with them.

757
00:35:58,880 --> 00:36:01,200
Speaker 1: So I'm giving Jerry Judy one more shot in my

758
00:36:01,239 --> 00:36:03,160
Speaker 1: starting line up before I take him out. You talk

759
00:36:03,200 --> 00:36:07,600
Speaker 1: about the Chiefs and Andy Reid is notoriously good coming

760
00:36:07,640 --> 00:36:10,279
Speaker 1: off of bye, so I would expect that Kansasy is

761
00:36:10,280 --> 00:36:12,920
Speaker 1: going to have something up their sleeve for Denverse. So

762
00:36:12,960 --> 00:36:15,080
Speaker 1: you're right, it may be a situation where the Broncos

763
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,719
Speaker 1: have to to score to keep up. Side note, I

764
00:36:17,719 --> 00:36:19,799
Speaker 1: would like to take the pulse of Bronco Nation how

765
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:23,239
Speaker 1: they feel now with Teddy Bridgewater, because generally Bronco fans

766
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:27,319
Speaker 1: were not that excited about Teddy Bridgewater being named the starter. Um,

767
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:28,680
Speaker 1: and I'm not gonna sit here and say that he's

768
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:31,799
Speaker 1: been spectacular, but he's he's kept them afloat. They're six

769
00:36:31,800 --> 00:36:34,759
Speaker 1: and five, they're a game out in the division. I

770
00:36:34,800 --> 00:36:36,520
Speaker 1: don't know that you'd say that if Drew Lock was

771
00:36:36,520 --> 00:36:38,439
Speaker 1: their starting quarter Oh way, I don't think you say

772
00:36:38,480 --> 00:36:40,799
Speaker 1: that if Drew Lock is their quarterback. And I think

773
00:36:41,840 --> 00:36:44,400
Speaker 1: I think Bronco fans are warming up they should be

774
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,480
Speaker 1: at least to Teddy. But what I think really happens

775
00:36:46,520 --> 00:36:48,680
Speaker 1: is is what always happens to Teddy, right, Like, he

776
00:36:48,719 --> 00:36:51,479
Speaker 1: plays better than expected, he keeps his team in the race,

777
00:36:51,560 --> 00:36:53,600
Speaker 1: and then the team's gonna try to move on after this.

778
00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:56,400
Speaker 1: Of course, they're gonna try to get like Aaron Rodgers

779
00:36:56,560 --> 00:36:59,280
Speaker 1: or whatever big name quarterback they can get, and Bridgewater

780
00:36:59,320 --> 00:37:02,040
Speaker 1: will goes somewhere. Wilson be a steady quarterback. He'll do

781
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:04,759
Speaker 1: it again somewhere else, the same thing somewhere else. Yeah,

782
00:37:04,800 --> 00:37:06,680
Speaker 1: he's he's uh, you know, he's like just one of

783
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,880
Speaker 1: those guys who helps get a franchise started like you know,

784
00:37:08,920 --> 00:37:10,960
Speaker 1: like like a new restaurant comes to your town and

785
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:13,400
Speaker 1: they bring the consultant in from outside. They kind of

786
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:15,480
Speaker 1: get things going, and then you know, after things get running,

787
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:18,840
Speaker 1: he moves on to the next place. That's Steady Bridgewater.

788
00:37:18,920 --> 00:37:23,000
Speaker 1: He's your qsr uh, you know, ultimately opening consultants there.

789
00:37:23,920 --> 00:37:26,080
Speaker 1: All right, that's done with the previews. It is time

790
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,479
Speaker 1: now for our week thirteen sleepers. We each have a pair.

791
00:37:29,640 --> 00:37:33,360
Speaker 1: Who is your first one. It's Josh Reynolds, who since

792
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:36,600
Speaker 1: he has joined the Lions too in the last two weeks,

793
00:37:36,640 --> 00:37:39,360
Speaker 1: he's been leading them in routes rant at will second

794
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,719
Speaker 1: behind only a Monroe's st Brown, but this past week

795
00:37:41,920 --> 00:37:44,880
Speaker 1: led them in targets, let them in yards, scored a touchdown.

796
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:47,400
Speaker 1: He is also their best field stretcher. So in a

797
00:37:47,480 --> 00:37:50,120
Speaker 1: game like this against the Vikings, who have allowed these

798
00:37:50,160 --> 00:37:53,040
Speaker 1: second most fantasy points to receivers and have really struggled

799
00:37:53,080 --> 00:37:55,399
Speaker 1: on the long ball, I expect a couple of deep

800
00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:57,359
Speaker 1: shots to go to Josh Reynolds and he only needs

801
00:37:57,360 --> 00:37:59,560
Speaker 1: to catch one for to pay off in your fantasy

802
00:37:59,600 --> 00:38:01,560
Speaker 1: line ups very much. It I mean we're talking sleepers here,

803
00:38:01,560 --> 00:38:03,920
Speaker 1: We're not talking about guys who were necessarily gonna go huge,

804
00:38:03,960 --> 00:38:07,600
Speaker 1: But we keep trying to hit pinpoint on a lion's receiver.

805
00:38:07,719 --> 00:38:09,640
Speaker 1: So maybe this is the time we finally have it right.

806
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,600
Speaker 1: I got Miles Gaskin, which I know sort of feels

807
00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:15,680
Speaker 1: like point chasing from last week because we didn't expect

808
00:38:15,719 --> 00:38:17,320
Speaker 1: him to do much against the Panthers, and he scored

809
00:38:17,320 --> 00:38:19,760
Speaker 1: two touchdowns even though he still had fewer than sixties

810
00:38:19,760 --> 00:38:22,080
Speaker 1: scrimmage yards, Like he wasn't like a huge day for him.

811
00:38:22,120 --> 00:38:24,120
Speaker 1: He just had the two scores. But this is a

812
00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,360
Speaker 1: much better matchup this week against the New York Football Giants.

813
00:38:27,600 --> 00:38:30,080
Speaker 1: They have struggled. They're one of the worst run defenses

814
00:38:30,120 --> 00:38:32,560
Speaker 1: in the league, but they've also given up a ton

815
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:35,360
Speaker 1: of receiving yards to the running back position. So whether

816
00:38:35,440 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: it is by ground or by air, I expect Myles

817
00:38:38,600 --> 00:38:40,919
Speaker 1: Gaskin to be pretty heavily involved in the game plan

818
00:38:41,080 --> 00:38:43,640
Speaker 1: this week. He's saying an advantage of good matchups. This

819
00:38:43,680 --> 00:38:45,120
Speaker 1: is a good matchup, So this is a week I

820
00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,279
Speaker 1: think you can get him back in your lineup. All right,

821
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:51,360
Speaker 1: who was your other sleeper for the week, Boston Scott

822
00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:53,440
Speaker 1: And and I know a lot is up in the

823
00:38:53,480 --> 00:38:56,279
Speaker 1: air right now with the Eagles running backs myle Miles

824
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,200
Speaker 1: Sanders is dealing with like an ankle injury, Jordan Howard

825
00:38:59,239 --> 00:39:01,560
Speaker 1: is still up in the year. All Boston Scott did

826
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:04,440
Speaker 1: last week was lead them and snaps touches, targets. He

827
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:06,880
Speaker 1: scored a touchdown, he gave you over seventy yards like

828
00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:09,279
Speaker 1: he's been steady. I think that he will be in

829
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:11,520
Speaker 1: play this week because the other guys are so banged up,

830
00:39:11,520 --> 00:39:13,560
Speaker 1: and it's the Jets who allowed the most fantasy but

831
00:39:13,719 --> 00:39:16,600
Speaker 1: you pick a time period that's allowed the most fantasy

832
00:39:16,640 --> 00:39:19,720
Speaker 1: points too running backs this season, So in a great matchup,

833
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:21,799
Speaker 1: I think Boston Scott is someone that you probably could

834
00:39:21,840 --> 00:39:23,879
Speaker 1: have grabbed off your waiver wire and start this week.

835
00:39:24,040 --> 00:39:26,720
Speaker 1: I like that very much. This week, I will finish

836
00:39:26,760 --> 00:39:30,560
Speaker 1: this out by saying Foster Moreau has some sleeper potential

837
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:33,360
Speaker 1: because it looks like Darren Waller is not going to

838
00:39:33,400 --> 00:39:35,760
Speaker 1: play this week because he deals with a knee injury.

839
00:39:36,280 --> 00:39:39,560
Speaker 1: He's week to week right now for the Raiders. Earlier

840
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:43,160
Speaker 1: this season was Week seven, when Darren Waller missed the game.

841
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,120
Speaker 1: Foster Morrow had his best fantasy game of the year,

842
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:49,440
Speaker 1: six catches for sixty yards and a touchdown. The matchup

843
00:39:49,520 --> 00:39:51,920
Speaker 1: is just so, so why should this been okay against

844
00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,120
Speaker 1: tight ends? But this is an offense that really does

845
00:39:54,239 --> 00:39:57,360
Speaker 1: feature throws to the tight end position. So if Moreau

846
00:39:57,480 --> 00:39:59,799
Speaker 1: is out there and getting the bulk of the opportunity,

847
00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:01,719
Speaker 1: I think there's a chance for him to have a

848
00:40:01,719 --> 00:40:03,680
Speaker 1: pretty good day. If you're looking to stream tight ends,

849
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:05,480
Speaker 1: I think this is one that you might want to

850
00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,520
Speaker 1: keep an eye on. So all right, so if you

851

Speaker 1: want some more sleepers, you can check out my weekly column.

862
00:40:40,440 --> 00:40:43,440
Speaker 1: weeks the playoff push for real, for real at this point. Now, yeah,

863
00:40:43,480 --> 00:40:46,279
Speaker 1: to two weeks left. Uh, if you're in the hunt,

864
00:40:46,320 --> 00:40:48,239
Speaker 1: be lucky that it's the longest season ever because you

865
00:40:48,239 --> 00:40:50,400
Speaker 1: getn't to try to kind of get in there. And

866
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:53,960
Speaker 1: if you're and if you feel you're comfortably in the playoffs,

867
00:40:54,040 --> 00:40:57,040
Speaker 1: I think people should start looking ahead and making roster

868
00:40:57,160 --> 00:40:59,200
Speaker 1: moves for that because you don't want to get complacent.

869
00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,719
Speaker 1: That's how you end up causing yourself exactly. Start checking schedules,

870
00:41:02,760 --> 00:41:05,200
Speaker 1: start to you know, scouring the waiver wire for guys

871
00:41:05,360 --> 00:41:07,000
Speaker 1: that might be out there that could end up playing

872
00:41:07,000 --> 00:41:10,319
Speaker 1: a key role, uh down the stretch. All right, that

873
00:41:10,520 --> 00:41:12,879
Speaker 1: is it's we are done. We appreciate you hanging out
