Maybe the best outcome 19 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: for us both, but it did take I guess the 20 00:01:06,440 --> 00:01:08,319 Speaker 1: good news is it took two and a half hours 21 00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:10,960 Speaker 1: off of our life on Thursday night and not three hours, 22 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 1: because at least it was a quick game in that 23 00:01:12,680 --> 00:01:13,640 Speaker 1: six ' three matchup. 24 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:16,920 Speaker 4: Fortunately, I had a good second screen experience my daughter 25 00:01:16,959 --> 00:01:19,720 Speaker 4: and I, you know, because I'm a holiday holiday holiday 26 00:01:19,760 --> 00:01:22,000 Speaker 4: stopping down here, So I had the Bears on one 27 00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,120 Speaker 4: screen in the first Captain America movie on the other. 28 00:01:25,520 --> 00:01:27,240 Speaker 4: So I at least had a little bit of action 29 00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: and entertainment along the way in the six ' to 30 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,880 Speaker 4: three barn Burner. But as I posted on Twitter as 31 00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:36,000 Speaker 4: I was watching it, because you know, you'd scroll and 32 00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:39,160 Speaker 4: you'd see all the commentary about how bad it was, Dan, 33 00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 4: It's like, you know. 34 00:01:40,120 --> 00:01:43,840 Speaker 3: What, nobody's forced you to watch this. Sure if you 35 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:45,039 Speaker 3: don't want to do this, go away. 36 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:47,119 Speaker 4: It's like all of the you know, the complaining about 37 00:01:47,160 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 4: where the games are being streamed or whatever else. Like 38 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 4: once upon a time, you were good with the three 39 00:01:52,040 --> 00:01:55,680 Speaker 4: you got each week, and you didn't complain. You watched 40 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,600 Speaker 4: George Michael fire up the sporting machine, right, you know, 41 00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,360 Speaker 4: the George Michael's sports machine. At the end of the night, 42 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:05,560 Speaker 4: you saw a couple more highlights, and then you went 43 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:07,840 Speaker 4: on with your day and you read the newspaper. But 44 00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:10,440 Speaker 4: here was oh, this is this and this and this's 45 00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:13,040 Speaker 4: like shut up, go watch something else. There's plenty of 46 00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,680 Speaker 4: holiday movie marathons on. You can go watch whatever Harry 47 00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:18,560 Speaker 4: Potter is being streamed, and. 48 00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 3: You can be done with it. Okay, it's two seventy two. 49 00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:25,160 Speaker 4: Maybe this ranks last, but they're almost done, So celebrate 50 00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:26,000 Speaker 4: them for what they are. 51 00:02:26,919 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. There was a lot on the 52 00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:34,200 Speaker 1: line for my Seahawks and your Bears keep positioning in 53 00:02:34,240 --> 00:02:37,280 Speaker 1: the draft, so that's good for them. But for fantasy 54 00:02:37,360 --> 00:02:41,120 Speaker 1: football wise, there were some players I was one of 55 00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:44,000 Speaker 1: my buddies was texting me in our long you know, 56 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:47,960 Speaker 1: our longtime league. He was going up against Seahawks defense, 57 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:51,320 Speaker 1: and so it's just like you're hoping for well for 58 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:55,200 Speaker 1: his sake, he's just come on, Bears, do something. Because 59 00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:57,959 Speaker 1: of the three points that they only had on the board, 60 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: which was not good for him. The sacks ended up 61 00:03:01,120 --> 00:03:03,840 Speaker 1: hurting him and he just is like man, and he 62 00:03:03,919 --> 00:03:07,239 Speaker 1: had some other stuff he had. He went up against 63 00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:10,280 Speaker 1: Derrick Henry on Christmas Day, so he's off to a 64 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:14,239 Speaker 1: bad start and he said death by one thousand paper cuts. 65 00:03:14,280 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: Because Mike, this is only day two. There was only 66 00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:21,000 Speaker 1: day two of our five day window of games that 67 00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:24,799 Speaker 1: we have here in week seventeen. It's a lot. I mean, 68 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,800 Speaker 1: Saturday will three more get off the board, and then 69 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 1: you go to Sunday and then obviously the Monday night 70 00:03:29,960 --> 00:03:33,080 Speaker 1: are with the Lions and forty nine ers to likely 71 00:03:33,120 --> 00:03:36,160 Speaker 1: wrap up a lot of fantasy seasons. But yeah, it's 72 00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:38,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a long week. And Thursday night didn't make 73 00:03:38,440 --> 00:03:39,880 Speaker 1: it any shorter, I'll tell you that much. 74 00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 4: No, And that's just that's the worst of it, right, 75 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 4: is that if you played anybody now you're over You're 76 00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:48,720 Speaker 4: gonna overthink every other roster spot you've got going right, 77 00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:53,240 Speaker 4: the extra wide receiver, the extra flex, whatever the case 78 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:53,560 Speaker 4: may be. 79 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: It's what's on the wire, what's. 80 00:03:55,760 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 4: Sitting on the bench, and really the best and worst 81 00:04:00,560 --> 00:04:03,880 Speaker 4: of it, right, because you really need to show self control, 82 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 4: something none of us do at the holidays in any regard. 83 00:04:07,800 --> 00:04:14,720 Speaker 4: But you know, watching this one play out, it was interesting. 84 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,719 Speaker 4: I mean I commented only a couple of times in 85 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,360 Speaker 4: the Twitter verse just on third down calls that just 86 00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:25,599 Speaker 4: left me laughing. But both quarterbacks it combined for fifty 87 00:04:25,640 --> 00:04:28,880 Speaker 4: one pass attempts. How many of them were screen passes. 88 00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: Or behind the line of scrimmage, you know, just it 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:37,320 Speaker 1: was it was bad a lot. 90 00:04:37,880 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 4: My daughter was just laughing at me, Dan, like just 91 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 4: because I'm still living and dying with it, Like what 92 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:47,479 Speaker 4: are we doing? And again, as you said, for both teams, 93 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:50,520 Speaker 4: exactly the result you wanted. You got your win at 94 00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 4: the Seahawks. Was it pretty hell? No, but it rained. 95 00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 4: It was miserable. Your defense did all the kid hoped 96 00:04:56,960 --> 00:04:59,480 Speaker 4: to do. You piled up seven sacks. You get the 97 00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,160 Speaker 4: laid in how they're not trotting. I don't care what 98 00:05:03,200 --> 00:05:06,000 Speaker 4: the footing is. If that guy can't one time try 99 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:09,599 Speaker 4: a fifty seven yard field goal, or your quarterback can't 100 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 4: back up enough to where he can launch one fifty 101 00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,160 Speaker 4: seven yards to the end zone, what the hell are 102 00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:20,520 Speaker 4: we doing but clock management once again for the Bears. Look, 103 00:05:20,560 --> 00:05:22,880 Speaker 4: it's a broken record. We've been watching it all year. 104 00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:27,279 Speaker 4: DeAndre Swift, let me run nine yards that way. Caleb 105 00:05:27,279 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 4: Williams still thinking after nine straight losses, he can evade 106 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,120 Speaker 4: people with that little curl, move back to the inside 107 00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,920 Speaker 4: and run past people. No, wait, that guy's waiting for 108 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,440 Speaker 4: me and he's going to attack me. So yeah, DJ 109 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,080 Speaker 4: Moore six for fifty four. I guess as you're three, 110 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,400 Speaker 4: you take your eleven point four and you move on, 111 00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:50,600 Speaker 4: but you're obviously hoping for more Keenan Allen and been 112 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:54,679 Speaker 4: playing well seven point five ain't getting it done Roma Dunes. 113 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:58,040 Speaker 4: They had to catch obviously the touchdown taking off the 114 00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:01,000 Speaker 4: board that everybody's still salty. I was like, man, the 115 00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 4: offensive line is only one part of a grand maze 116 00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,479 Speaker 4: full of problems here, you know, not to mention the 117 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,880 Speaker 4: GM that's still allegedly going to get to hire the 118 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,880 Speaker 4: next head coach. But that's that's a whole, other, whole 119 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,960 Speaker 4: other thing. And that DK Metcalp, How the hell was 120 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,400 Speaker 4: he still on the field, Dan, I mean, he's your guy, 121 00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,599 Speaker 4: but yeah, how many swipes in a guy's head plus 122 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,640 Speaker 4: ahead butt do you get before you're injecked. 123 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,360 Speaker 1: I guess you know. And when you're you're only good 124 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: good for three catches for twenty three yards or whatever 125 00:06:31,240 --> 00:06:33,600 Speaker 1: it was on U on Thursday, And I had to like, 126 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,440 Speaker 1: we might also keep him in the game because it's 127 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:38,400 Speaker 1: not going to make any other difference otherwise. So they 128 00:06:39,040 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: so they ended up doing so, And yeah, kept jawing 129 00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:45,440 Speaker 1: three for forty two. I actually I short changed a couple, 130 00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,960 Speaker 1: but oh well, yeah, not much. 131 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:51,359 Speaker 4: Locke it three for twenty, Noah fans had the same 132 00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:55,599 Speaker 4: play run repeatedly. Uh hey, Zach Sharbonet, I guess at 133 00:06:55,680 --> 00:06:59,640 Speaker 4: least got you what seventy six? He's over ten points, 134 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:03,360 Speaker 4: so as at RB two, I guess you grit your teeth. 135 00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:03,680 Speaker 3: And move on. 136 00:07:03,839 --> 00:07:05,840 Speaker 4: Yeah, but yeah, you still have three more days of 137 00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,400 Speaker 4: football that you have to suffer on account. 138 00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:13,520 Speaker 1: Hopefully the damage was not much on Thursday night. I 139 00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,840 Speaker 1: will say this, what is interesting about the Seahawks six 140 00:07:16,880 --> 00:07:19,200 Speaker 1: and one on the road this season pretty crazy. They 141 00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:22,160 Speaker 1: actually haven't been good at home. Lions are unbeaten at home. 142 00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:25,000 Speaker 1: Kansas City seven and one, Minnesota is six and one. 143 00:07:25,080 --> 00:07:27,840 Speaker 1: But the Seahawks, and they've got their final game of 144 00:07:27,840 --> 00:07:30,040 Speaker 1: the year is on the road against the Rams, which 145 00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,360 Speaker 1: could be it'll be for all the marbles in the 146 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:36,160 Speaker 1: NFC West. If the Rams lose on Saturday night, it 147 00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:39,360 Speaker 1: may be for all of the marbles, with some caveats 148 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,760 Speaker 1: if the Rams end up winning. Rams have the edge 149 00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120 Speaker 1: with the strength of schedule. You may have heard Al 150 00:07:45,160 --> 00:07:47,320 Speaker 1: Michaels talk a little bit about it on the broadcast, 151 00:07:47,320 --> 00:07:51,200 Speaker 1: but essentially there's about six games on Saturday and six 152 00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:53,720 Speaker 1: or seven and the Seahawks need like three of those 153 00:07:53,760 --> 00:07:58,000 Speaker 1: games to really go their way to end up changing 154 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:02,520 Speaker 1: the strength of schedule format. And because of that, they're 155 00:08:02,600 --> 00:08:05,040 Speaker 1: usually the better teams that have to lose. They need 156 00:08:05,080 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: those better teams to end up getting a loss, so 157 00:08:07,880 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 1: it would lessen what the what the Rams have. So 158 00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:14,040 Speaker 1: we'll see, we'll see, we'll see what happens. But still 159 00:08:14,280 --> 00:08:16,720 Speaker 1: Seahawks are still in it somehow, some way after that 160 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,560 Speaker 1: disaster of a game on Thursday night. Let's see, we. 161 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:22,880 Speaker 4: Say, Dan though, let's always succeed in proceed I gotta 162 00:08:22,880 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 4: ask the one last question out of this because the 163 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:28,200 Speaker 4: the booth. I wanted your perception of the booth on 164 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:33,679 Speaker 4: the famous fumble that ends up getting returned to the touchdown, 165 00:08:33,920 --> 00:08:37,680 Speaker 4: crowd responses, whatever, And it was pretty clear as day 166 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,000 Speaker 4: what had actually happened, and they got the ruling right 167 00:08:40,040 --> 00:08:42,120 Speaker 4: out the third at Bite at the Apple. Yeah, but 168 00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:45,280 Speaker 4: it seemed like Michael, you know, l Michael's and Kirkurbstreet 169 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: were to enamored with the crowd and making fun of 170 00:08:48,920 --> 00:08:51,080 Speaker 4: them to actually pay attention to anything that was happening 171 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:51,360 Speaker 4: on them. 172 00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:53,080 Speaker 1: Yeah, it was such a weird it was such a 173 00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:57,360 Speaker 1: weird play that there wasn't This is now I like 174 00:08:57,440 --> 00:08:59,800 Speaker 1: Herb Street, and Herbstreet's had a rough couple of weeks. 175 00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 1: I get it. Waiting doesn't matter, Dan, Yeah, whinning doesn't matter. 176 00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:07,400 Speaker 1: I get there. And there's he's not liked in Columbus 177 00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:12,000 Speaker 1: right now. And but the point being is, I think 178 00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:14,560 Speaker 1: that those are opportunities that you have to jump in 179 00:09:14,600 --> 00:09:17,160 Speaker 1: and kind of take the wheel. You have to say, 180 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,040 Speaker 1: hold on a sec. We haven't there are no refs 181 00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,440 Speaker 1: that are following anybody down the field. This place, you know, 182 00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,720 Speaker 1: still may be live, and that didn't happen, and so 183 00:09:27,040 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: they're just wondering. And then you get the announcement and 184 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 1: it's like, oh surprise, and Tyler Lockett's yelling you blew 185 00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,520 Speaker 1: the whistle. And then the replay was clear as day. 186 00:09:36,160 --> 00:09:38,040 Speaker 1: You know that he that he was down and down 187 00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:41,240 Speaker 1: by contact, And I guess Mike is a situation like 188 00:09:41,280 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 1: that where they're like, okay, let's just call it a 189 00:09:42,960 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: touchdown and then we'll review it. 190 00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,640 Speaker 3: Well you wit and post, yeah, yeah. 191 00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,600 Speaker 1: Well they could have just they could have, honestly, just 192 00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,320 Speaker 1: like they could have just split the difference and said 193 00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:56,199 Speaker 1: it was a turnover called a debt at the spot, 194 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,680 Speaker 1: which would have allowed them to review because it was 195 00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:02,400 Speaker 1: a turnover, but wouldn't have given them the score. And 196 00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,719 Speaker 1: in that, you know, that's the point of I understand, 197 00:10:05,800 --> 00:10:08,400 Speaker 1: not just like giving them a team a touchdown because 198 00:10:08,440 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: you can have an opportunity to review it, because sometimes 199 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 1: camera angles are blocked or something happens, But that to 200 00:10:15,679 --> 00:10:18,800 Speaker 1: me probably would have been the most sufficient way for 201 00:10:18,880 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: the officiating to handle it. Now, in the end, the 202 00:10:20,679 --> 00:10:22,880 Speaker 1: call was right, but yeah, it was kind of a 203 00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:25,200 Speaker 1: mess all around, and the booth really didn't do anything 204 00:10:25,240 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: to provide any clarity at all for us. 205 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:33,000 Speaker 4: So yeah, just an amazing, amazing run, one of two, 206 00:10:33,120 --> 00:10:37,080 Speaker 4: seventy two done. Congratulations on still being alive. And for 207 00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:40,280 Speaker 4: the Bears and their Bears fans, once they sleep this 208 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:44,320 Speaker 4: one off, they'll realize this was for the best. Sometimes 209 00:10:44,360 --> 00:10:47,240 Speaker 4: you have to hit what might even be a lower 210 00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:49,920 Speaker 4: rock bottom than you could have ever anticipated. 211 00:10:50,280 --> 00:10:53,960 Speaker 1: Let's get to Mike Carmen's rankings for Championship Week in 212 00:10:54,080 --> 00:10:57,720 Speaker 1: many leagues in Week seventeen, we've already got six teams 213 00:10:57,720 --> 00:10:59,600 Speaker 1: off the board, so we'll have to deal with the 214 00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:02,240 Speaker 1: other two six. Mike Corey, your top five quarterbacks for 215 00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:03,040 Speaker 1: Week seventeen. 216 00:11:03,240 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 3: All right, let's get it started. 217 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:08,000 Speaker 4: Joe Burrow going up against Denver, second worst over the 218 00:11:08,120 --> 00:11:10,680 Speaker 4: last four being able to throw the ball on wing 219 00:11:10,720 --> 00:11:13,200 Speaker 4: it all around the yard. One of the few teams 220 00:11:13,200 --> 00:11:15,720 Speaker 4: that we can say nobody's on the injury report that 221 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,080 Speaker 4: I saw today in terms of those big principal players 222 00:11:19,160 --> 00:11:22,040 Speaker 4: Dan because we've got big names being taken off the 223 00:11:22,080 --> 00:11:27,840 Speaker 4: board that were on my original scripts for my rankings, 224 00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:29,400 Speaker 4: and Cold Soares and you name it. 225 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:31,160 Speaker 3: But Burrow goes number one, number two. 226 00:11:31,160 --> 00:11:33,880 Speaker 4: We're going to go back to Josh Allen week sixteen, 227 00:11:34,320 --> 00:11:37,360 Speaker 4: say that really fast against New England. But you're looking 228 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,480 Speaker 4: at over the first meeting, he was at two fifteen 229 00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:44,800 Speaker 4: and two eighteen rushing yards, using his legs, making plays. 230 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:48,240 Speaker 4: Going up against the Jets, expect a bigger effort here, 231 00:11:48,280 --> 00:11:51,800 Speaker 4: and with Baltimore having already won, you know, it's all 232 00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 4: about the jockeying for position. And as much as folks 233 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 4: want to push the MVP talk away, tell me he 234 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:00,280 Speaker 4: doesn't want to be superhuman against the Jets. 235 00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:02,000 Speaker 3: Squad where there's still a lot of squawking. 236 00:12:02,080 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 4: Number three Baker Mayfield going up against Carolina, You've got 237 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,840 Speaker 4: two hundred and eighty eight or more yards. Three straight games, 238 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:12,240 Speaker 4: nine total touchdowns there, Carolina eighth most over the last 239 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:16,440 Speaker 4: four weeks allowed to quarterbacks Jadan Daniels four straight multi 240 00:12:16,480 --> 00:12:20,280 Speaker 4: touchdown games, and what does Atlanta do? They give up 241 00:12:20,440 --> 00:12:24,760 Speaker 4: passing touchdowns? Opportunity here for him, and then you look 242 00:12:24,800 --> 00:12:27,719 Speaker 4: at the injured mess. This is where you might have 243 00:12:27,800 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 4: been looking at Richardson, you might have been looking at 244 00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,600 Speaker 4: Jalen Urts. I don't know that either of we're gonna 245 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:36,840 Speaker 4: play Dan, so putting up the number five spot here 246 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,120 Speaker 4: for me ends up becoming by default. We've got Jared 247 00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:45,120 Speaker 4: Goff against the banged up San Francisco forty nine ers. 248 00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,480 Speaker 4: It's not one I really love because it gets into 249 00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:50,600 Speaker 4: a bit of a muddled mess here based on matchups 250 00:12:50,640 --> 00:12:54,680 Speaker 4: and injury issues. But looking at what they've had, Jamir 251 00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:58,320 Speaker 4: Gibbs has been their their key runner and we'll get 252 00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:01,319 Speaker 4: to him in a minute. Spreading the ball around to 253 00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 4: fit effectively. Monster numbers haven't been there, but the matchup 254 00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 4: is solid because I after being eliminated last week, I 255 00:13:08,440 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 4: don't know how much fights left in San Francisco. 256 00:13:11,320 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, you're absolutely right. I think of any of the 257 00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:16,720 Speaker 1: teams that just want the season to end, it's the 258 00:13:16,720 --> 00:13:20,160 Speaker 1: forty nine ers, So I don't think the Lions are 259 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120 Speaker 1: gonna lose the rest of the way. I think that 260 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:26,040 Speaker 1: if they play Minnesota with everything on the line, I 261 00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:28,640 Speaker 1: think that they'll beat them in Week eighteen. But we've 262 00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,800 Speaker 1: talked about our questions with them, and maybe that ends 263 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:33,600 Speaker 1: up coming up in the playoffs. But I agree with you, 264 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:35,319 Speaker 1: I don't see it happening in week seventeen. 265 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 3: Nothing else. 266 00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:38,520 Speaker 4: It gives us some fantasy gold short term, and if 267 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,240 Speaker 4: you're gonna use week eighteen, boy, I can't wait. 268 00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,640 Speaker 3: To see what that looks like. No defense being played. 269 00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,880 Speaker 1: Let's get yeah, let's go to the running backs miike 270 00:13:45,960 --> 00:13:47,840 Speaker 1: for Week seventeen. Who is on top. 271 00:13:48,160 --> 00:13:52,400 Speaker 4: We'll start with Sakwan Barkley, just on his route towards 272 00:13:52,640 --> 00:13:54,600 Speaker 4: Eric Dickerson, who did a lot of press of it's 273 00:13:54,640 --> 00:13:57,880 Speaker 4: my record, well no recognizing it, but he made sure 274 00:13:57,920 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 4: to get into it. 275 00:13:58,679 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 3: Would be seventeen games. 276 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:03,080 Speaker 4: One hundred plus in eight of his ten games, he's 277 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:06,560 Speaker 4: got six touchdowns and six of them going up against 278 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,920 Speaker 4: Dallas grudge match. Let's keep the line moving and again 279 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:13,440 Speaker 4: with with Hurts a bit banged up, Kenny Pickett was 280 00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 4: back at practice, but either way, I still see a 281 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,920 Speaker 4: lot of two steps to Sakuan this week. Bjeonn Robinson, 282 00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,360 Speaker 4: he's having himself a run. You look at the last 283 00:14:22,360 --> 00:14:25,640 Speaker 4: four weeks twenty two, twenty two, two twenty six carries, 284 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:28,800 Speaker 4: ninety two or more rushing yards four straight game. I 285 00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 4: know Washington's ten the best against running backs here over 286 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:36,440 Speaker 4: the last four weeks. But an opportunity here for Bjeon Robinson, 287 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:38,960 Speaker 4: because look, they're they're going to the run game. They're 288 00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: they're gonna let Pennis take a shots, but it's gonna 289 00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 4: be predicated on running the football. First three, Kyron Williams 290 00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,080 Speaker 4: going up against Arizona. He's got touchdowns four of his 291 00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,040 Speaker 4: last five, three one hundred yard games during that time. 292 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:56,920 Speaker 4: Arizona another team like San Francisco. What's left Dan? But 293 00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,400 Speaker 4: the last fall so. Fourth, Jonathan Taylor gave us a 294 00:15:01,400 --> 00:15:04,360 Speaker 4: big two eighteen and three. He's got ninety six or 295 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,760 Speaker 4: more rushing yards three straight games. New York Giants third, 296 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 4: ninth most allowed over the last four weeks, ninth most 297 00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:13,560 Speaker 4: so an opportunity there. And number five. I told you, 298 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:15,680 Speaker 4: mister Gibbs Woody back. If nothing else, I may have 299 00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 4: watched Pirates of the Caribbean or gone on. 300 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,760 Speaker 3: The ride earlier this week. 301 00:15:19,800 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 4: Either way, Jamiir Gibbs gets to go in first one 302 00:15:22,480 --> 00:15:25,560 Speaker 4: hundred yard game last week. It was his first since 303 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 4: Week eight, multiple receptions five straight, and San Francisco played 304 00:15:30,680 --> 00:15:33,440 Speaker 4: out the string tenth most Fantasy points allowed to running 305 00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 4: backs over the last. 306 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,200 Speaker 1: Four Again, Spice is scattered all over this schedule just 307 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,800 Speaker 1: because of the funkiness of the weekend. In fact, in 308 00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,680 Speaker 1: the late window that we've got on Sunday, Mike, just 309 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:49,360 Speaker 1: two games. Yeah, it's Packers Vikings and Dolphins Browns. Sorry, 310 00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:52,440 Speaker 1: I got the Yeah, let's say, what are you gonna do? 311 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,120 Speaker 1: But Packers Vikings should be interesting enough to at least follow. 312 00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,120 Speaker 3: Yes, that's true. 313 00:15:57,320 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 1: Maybe there's gonna be a wide receiver from that game 314 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:01,760 Speaker 1: in your top five rankings. We're about to find out, Mike, 315 00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,720 Speaker 1: your top five wide receivers for week seventeen. 316 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:07,040 Speaker 4: All right, we started off with Jamar Chase. Let's pair 317 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,960 Speaker 4: him up with number one Joe Burrow. Five or more 318 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,840 Speaker 4: receptions every week since Week five, seventy five plus receiving yards, 319 00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,040 Speaker 4: six straight tds five or six. Do I need to 320 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:20,480 Speaker 4: go on just absolutely murdering it right now? And they're 321 00:16:20,520 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 4: still alive in the hunt. I'm on ross A Brown 322 00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 4: going up against San Francisco touchdowns back to back weeks. Yeah, 323 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 4: he's had a number of games with fewer than sixty 324 00:16:28,960 --> 00:16:31,960 Speaker 4: receiving yards, but we're looking at five or more receptions 325 00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:34,920 Speaker 4: eighth straight, So we'll take the easy bonus. 326 00:16:34,520 --> 00:16:35,360 Speaker 3: Points and move on. 327 00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:39,160 Speaker 4: Pooka Nakua against Arizona, five or more receptions, seven straight 328 00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:42,640 Speaker 4: for him, ninety seven or more receiving yards and five 329 00:16:42,720 --> 00:16:46,080 Speaker 4: of them again, Arizona, What do you got left? Brian 330 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,880 Speaker 4: Thomas Junior? Because you know, I just want to celebrate 331 00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 4: something good, excellent. Why not seventy six or more, five straight, 332 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:57,680 Speaker 4: thirty six receptions in his last five games going up 333 00:16:57,720 --> 00:17:01,360 Speaker 4: against the Tennessee squad that's been fairly solid against the 334 00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:05,359 Speaker 4: pass all year long. But look, mac Jones just knows 335 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:07,120 Speaker 4: get the ball up to the kid and let him 336 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,840 Speaker 4: go get it. And finally, you know, I split hairs, 337 00:17:10,880 --> 00:17:14,400 Speaker 4: like part of me wants that. Justin Jefferson against the Packers. 338 00:17:14,800 --> 00:17:20,600 Speaker 4: Looking what he's done over these last weeks, seven, seven, seven, ten, 339 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 4: I mean we're rolling sevens. 340 00:17:21,800 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: All over the place. 341 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:27,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, two hundred and thirty receiving yards or more twice 342 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:29,200 Speaker 4: during this period. Yeah, we'll give him the nod over 343 00:17:29,240 --> 00:17:32,879 Speaker 4: Mike Evans, who gets an honorable mention against Carolina, because 344 00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,720 Speaker 4: I've had a number of questions about him this week. 345 00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,400 Speaker 4: So thanks for listening, folks, thirty one receptions over his 346 00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 4: last five and trying to get him back to one 347 00:17:41,359 --> 00:17:44,640 Speaker 4: thousand yards. Oh, by the way, the pesky division win 348 00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 4: still needs to run through the Mayfield and Evans combination. 349 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:51,679 Speaker 1: There it is your top five. Who they are, your 350 00:17:51,680 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 1: top five quarterbacks, running backs and wide receivers for Week seventeen. 351 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,720 Speaker 1: We aren't done. Mike isn't done. Ian Roddey are executive producer, 352 00:17:59,800 --> 00:18:01,920 Speaker 1: is done. He's not going to appear on the podcast, 353 00:18:01,960 --> 00:18:05,000 Speaker 1: but we do have his streaming defenses coming up later on. 354 00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:08,240 Speaker 1: We'll also give you a little survivor update, some interesting 355 00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:11,560 Speaker 1: happenings for some big big bucks. Plus we'll have a 356 00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 1: pick there that's all coming up next right here. And 357 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:18,719 Speaker 1: I Want Your Flex. Welcome back to I Want Your Flex. 358 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 1: He's Mike Carmon, I'm Dan Beyer. We've got the rankings 359 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,000 Speaker 1: out of the way, Mike. Now we got to get 360 00:18:24,040 --> 00:18:27,320 Speaker 1: to the guys outside of the top five again. Championship 361 00:18:27,359 --> 00:18:29,720 Speaker 1: weekend and a lot of leagues. Let's get to it 362 00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:31,160 Speaker 1: your hot plays for week seventeen. 363 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 4: Let's go to bo Nicks and going up against Cincinnati 364 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,080 Speaker 4: two sixty three and two, going up against the Chargers 365 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,040 Speaker 4: and then it all bogged down but multiple touchdowns and 366 00:18:39,200 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 4: five of his last six games. I know Cincinnati has 367 00:18:42,480 --> 00:18:46,040 Speaker 4: been surging of late eighth best against quarterbacks these last four, 368 00:18:46,119 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 4: but upgoing season long, I'm looking at him to make 369 00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,680 Speaker 4: plays with his legs and create some chaos. Matthew Stafford 370 00:18:52,720 --> 00:18:56,640 Speaker 4: going up against Arizona back to back quiet games two 371 00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:01,679 Speaker 4: sixteen and zero touchdowns their first meet, but Arizona seventh 372 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,960 Speaker 4: most allowed to fantasy quarterbacks over the last four and 373 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:08,160 Speaker 4: before his two games stretch against the forty nine Ers 374 00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:11,520 Speaker 4: and Jets, Stafford had gone thrown multiple touchdown passes in 375 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,000 Speaker 4: six to seven games. I'm looking for him to end 376 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:16,800 Speaker 4: the year strong. Chase Brown going up against Denver eighty 377 00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:19,480 Speaker 4: six or more yards four of his last five with 378 00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:23,520 Speaker 4: four touchdowns. Denver amid rushing deef It's given about ninety 379 00:19:23,560 --> 00:19:26,919 Speaker 4: one total yards per game with a touchdown per so 380 00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,119 Speaker 4: we get an opportunity there. Devon eight Chan going up 381 00:19:30,119 --> 00:19:33,640 Speaker 4: against Cleveland and ninety total yards against San Francisco. He's 382 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 4: got touchdowns in seven of his last nine games. That's 383 00:19:36,280 --> 00:19:39,479 Speaker 4: what I'm banking on. Opportunity from point in blank range 384 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 4: once again, even though you're looking at Cleveland that's been 385 00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:45,840 Speaker 4: strong this last month, getting passed on a bit, but 386 00:19:45,920 --> 00:19:49,080 Speaker 4: the run game against running backs been pretty strong. Chuba 387 00:19:49,119 --> 00:19:52,040 Speaker 4: Hubbard going up against Tampa one hundred and fifty two 388 00:19:52,119 --> 00:19:55,720 Speaker 4: and two against Arizona only twelve for forty three in 389 00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:59,240 Speaker 4: their first meeting, befeeding the ball. They're playing better football 390 00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,120 Speaker 4: down the stretch, little more balanced opportunity guy I have listed, 391 00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:06,159 Speaker 4: but I've got a giant riddler like question mark but 392 00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:10,040 Speaker 4: all over him, and that's DeVante Adams touchdowns and four 393 00:20:10,119 --> 00:20:13,320 Speaker 4: straight games five or more receptions. 394 00:20:13,440 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: I mean, he's got a streak rolling on here. 395 00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:20,480 Speaker 4: And you look at over the last four Buffalo and 396 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:23,440 Speaker 4: they're they're giving up points, right, They're giving up opportunities. 397 00:20:23,440 --> 00:20:26,800 Speaker 4: We've seen it weekend week out. Obviously, the injury status 398 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,880 Speaker 4: is there a lot of speculation of operations shut down. 399 00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:32,080 Speaker 4: I don't think he goes into the good night unless 400 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:35,119 Speaker 4: old number eight does too. But this is one the 401 00:20:35,119 --> 00:20:38,240 Speaker 4: hang a star on towards game day, Lad McConkie going 402 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:41,320 Speaker 4: against New England five or more receptions five straight games. Look, 403 00:20:42,359 --> 00:20:44,760 Speaker 4: you do run the numbers and take a look at 404 00:20:44,800 --> 00:20:48,040 Speaker 4: what the Patriots have done against wide receivers. They're the 405 00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 4: best in the game over the last four weeks. I'm 406 00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,840 Speaker 4: just banking on some PPR love here to get you 407 00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:56,640 Speaker 4: over and maybe one with a bit of yak, which 408 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:59,400 Speaker 4: is what we've seen Bucky Irving. We'd be remiss if 409 00:20:59,400 --> 00:21:01,680 Speaker 4: we didn't at least give him a little bit of 410 00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:05,040 Speaker 4: a nod given what he's meant to fantasy owners over 411 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 4: the year, and now he gets to take you to 412 00:21:06,720 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 4: championship mode against Carolina. 413 00:21:08,880 --> 00:21:11,399 Speaker 1: Man, he was a guy that I saw and you know, 414 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:13,679 Speaker 1: again we've talked about it, we'll probably talk about it 415 00:21:13,720 --> 00:21:15,840 Speaker 1: at the end of the year. But I underestimated the 416 00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:19,280 Speaker 1: value of one Bucky Irving with the Buccaneers, you know, 417 00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:21,240 Speaker 1: and the other thing with DeVante Adams. And I think 418 00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: it's a legitimate reason. With the question mark, it looked 419 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,840 Speaker 1: like Aaron Rodgers was going to leave the game against 420 00:21:26,840 --> 00:21:30,160 Speaker 1: the Rams in Week sixteen, you know, with his injuries 421 00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:32,919 Speaker 1: and what he's dealing with, and at some point if 422 00:21:32,920 --> 00:21:37,159 Speaker 1: they're getting you know, blasted by the Bills, which the 423 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:39,320 Speaker 1: Bills with a win then can wrap up that two 424 00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:41,919 Speaker 1: seed and not have to worry about anything else and 425 00:21:41,960 --> 00:21:44,240 Speaker 1: get maybe a week off before they play that finale 426 00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:47,560 Speaker 1: against New England. Yeah, I could be interesting to see 427 00:21:47,560 --> 00:21:50,720 Speaker 1: and what the Jets do in that situation definitely something 428 00:21:50,880 --> 00:21:54,040 Speaker 1: to monitor. Let's get to the cold source, Mike, the 429 00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:55,879 Speaker 1: guys you got to keep out of your lineups. You 430 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,720 Speaker 1: don't want to see, you don't want to touch, you 431 00:21:57,720 --> 00:22:00,400 Speaker 1: don't want anything to do with. In Week seventeen, Jordan 432 00:22:00,440 --> 00:22:04,280 Speaker 1: Love right off the jump. Why because I like chaos. 433 00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:06,720 Speaker 4: Even though he's gone five straight games without an interception, 434 00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:11,000 Speaker 4: congratulations for multiple touchdown games in the last six. This 435 00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 4: is one where you're talking about one of the top 436 00:22:13,320 --> 00:22:17,160 Speaker 4: defenses in football. They'll blitz him, they'll get after him 437 00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,680 Speaker 4: and create a bit of chaos. So we'll see how 438 00:22:19,720 --> 00:22:23,960 Speaker 4: the Green Bay offense adapts. So I'm staying away from 439 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,120 Speaker 4: this one to going up against Cleveland back to back, 440 00:22:26,200 --> 00:22:29,560 Speaker 4: quiet weeks for him. You've got a middling Cleveland defense 441 00:22:29,600 --> 00:22:33,480 Speaker 4: given about seventeen fantasy points per game, but we've ridden 442 00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:36,879 Speaker 4: that roller coaster all year long. I'm not expecting a 443 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:39,920 Speaker 4: crest in Championship week on the road because you know what, Dan, 444 00:22:40,000 --> 00:22:41,120 Speaker 4: It'll be cold. 445 00:22:41,359 --> 00:22:41,600 Speaker 1: Yeah. 446 00:22:41,800 --> 00:22:44,800 Speaker 4: So while all of them can talk about how it 447 00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:47,600 Speaker 4: doesn't matter, there's a reason that. 448 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,800 Speaker 3: All of the the. 449 00:22:49,600 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 4: Touts and all of the prognosticators bring up the weather 450 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 4: so frequently it matters Breeshall going up against Buffalo. I 451 00:22:58,359 --> 00:23:00,959 Speaker 4: take Caim and I take Garrett Wilson to other because 452 00:23:01,040 --> 00:23:03,760 Speaker 4: I'm not banking on on a huge number. I mean, 453 00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,440 Speaker 4: you're looking at eighty or more rushing yards for all year, 454 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 4: eighty or less in all but one game, which is 455 00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:13,680 Speaker 4: just insane. 456 00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:18,440 Speaker 1: Now, sunk me in a guillotine league, you know. So, yeah, 457 00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:19,240 Speaker 1: it's not been good. 458 00:23:19,520 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: There you go like him, No, just agreed, Let's just 459 00:23:23,880 --> 00:23:27,320 Speaker 4: send Let's just send him to fantasy hell, fantasy jail 460 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 4: for the year. But take along with him Garrett Wilson. Right, 461 00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:33,320 Speaker 4: you've had this massive run up from Aaron Rodgers. He 462 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:35,840 Speaker 4: played pretty good football the second half of the season. 463 00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:39,720 Speaker 4: Quietly everybody, you know, the speculation obviously he's doing all 464 00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:43,120 Speaker 4: his media appearances and throwing stuff up in the air 465 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,840 Speaker 4: about teenagers and whatever else. He's actually played some pretty 466 00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 4: good football. But you're looking at Garrett Wilson one touchdown 467 00:23:48,760 --> 00:23:52,040 Speaker 4: in six, a lot of speculation that he's salty about 468 00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,680 Speaker 4: his spot and wants out, and in these last six 469 00:23:55,720 --> 00:23:59,120 Speaker 4: games he's only gone over sixty receiving yards once. I'm 470 00:23:59,119 --> 00:24:02,240 Speaker 4: not banking on a re peak performance here. How about 471 00:24:02,280 --> 00:24:04,960 Speaker 4: Aaron Jones going back at Green Bay touchdowns three of 472 00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,760 Speaker 4: his last five. You know, you're looking at his first 473 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:12,320 Speaker 4: one hundred yard game since Week three, and there's been 474 00:24:12,359 --> 00:24:15,760 Speaker 4: some pretty good moments along the way. This one forty 475 00:24:15,760 --> 00:24:18,359 Speaker 4: eight and a half is an interesting number. So the 476 00:24:18,359 --> 00:24:20,399 Speaker 4: fact that I've got cold sores in it is like 477 00:24:20,760 --> 00:24:22,600 Speaker 4: just trying to read the tea leave. Maybe it's just 478 00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:24,680 Speaker 4: hate of the rest of the NFC North. I don't 479 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:28,600 Speaker 4: know Dan, but Jones a guy. I mean, he's still 480 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,120 Speaker 4: going to be a mid to back back in RB two, 481 00:24:31,160 --> 00:24:33,640 Speaker 4: I would just temper the expectations against the Green Bay 482 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:34,960 Speaker 4: d that's been really good. 483 00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 1: That game is gonna be off the charts good, you know, 484 00:24:39,960 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: for as much as I want to complain again about 485 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:44,160 Speaker 1: that being a two game window. And by the way, 486 00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,760 Speaker 1: in Cleveland, you may have to worry more about rain 487 00:24:46,960 --> 00:24:50,520 Speaker 1: than actual snow of anything. But still to worry about. 488 00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:53,880 Speaker 1: But that Vikings Packers game at US Bank is going 489 00:24:53,920 --> 00:24:56,840 Speaker 1: to be a dandy coming up on Sunday. 490 00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,560 Speaker 4: Last I saw Packers the the narrow one point favorite 491 00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:04,760 Speaker 4: on the road. So no respect for the cruising or 492 00:25:04,840 --> 00:25:08,400 Speaker 4: seemingly cruising home team. Ramadre Stevenson because we don't mention 493 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:12,199 Speaker 4: him often enough. I first touchdown since Week nine, his 494 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 4: last game of eighty or more rushing yards week five 495 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,280 Speaker 4: going against Chargers D. 496 00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:19,639 Speaker 1: We did mention him in the last pot because that 497 00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:22,119 Speaker 1: was the guy that I had stock and remember that 498 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:24,640 Speaker 1: was oh yeah, that was the one there. I'm like, hey, 499 00:25:24,720 --> 00:25:27,000 Speaker 1: I looked you know the way that I the way 500 00:25:27,040 --> 00:25:29,520 Speaker 1: the Patriots dealt with him in the off season, signing 501 00:25:29,560 --> 00:25:32,800 Speaker 1: him to that deal. Let's young quarterback, let's grind it out. 502 00:25:32,880 --> 00:25:34,439 Speaker 1: Yeah it did not happen. 503 00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,679 Speaker 3: We're gonna get your twenty five touches a game. Let's go. 504 00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:39,160 Speaker 3: You're guy, And. 505 00:25:39,119 --> 00:25:41,640 Speaker 1: By the way, if you missed game one on Saturday 506 00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,639 Speaker 1: morning with the Patriots and Chargers, don't worry about it. 507 00:25:44,760 --> 00:25:46,880 Speaker 1: You know you're good with us. All right, Let's get 508 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,560 Speaker 1: to the Ninjas. Okay, yeah, let's get to the Ninjas 509 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:49,760 Speaker 1: for that. 510 00:25:49,880 --> 00:25:51,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, Ninjas for the week. 511 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 4: Brock Perdy going up against Detroit, just looking for a 512 00:25:54,840 --> 00:25:57,960 Speaker 4: little bit of chaos while the team as a homemade quit. 513 00:25:58,320 --> 00:26:01,520 Speaker 4: He's got a lot of people watch his every move 514 00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:05,760 Speaker 4: in Detroit with Buffalo two of the worst past defenses 515 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,919 Speaker 4: fantasy wise against quarterbacks of late. Mac Jones going up 516 00:26:08,920 --> 00:26:12,239 Speaker 4: against Tennessee two hundred and twenty eight passing yards are 517 00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:15,600 Speaker 4: more four straight, which actually in twenty four is a 518 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,719 Speaker 4: feat in the National Football League, believe it or not, 519 00:26:19,720 --> 00:26:21,600 Speaker 4: not just for him, but in general. I'm seeing a 520 00:26:21,600 --> 00:26:27,120 Speaker 4: lot of high one hundreds in people's game logs. Two 521 00:26:27,200 --> 00:26:30,440 Speaker 4: multi touchdown games during this streak, by the way, first 522 00:26:30,480 --> 00:26:34,000 Speaker 4: meeting two hundred twenty yards in a couple of interceptions. 523 00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:37,360 Speaker 4: But you're looking at a Tennessee defense give they take 524 00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 4: away about eighteen points per game, six interceptions, seven touchdowns 525 00:26:41,320 --> 00:26:41,960 Speaker 4: in the last four. 526 00:26:42,080 --> 00:26:43,080 Speaker 3: How about Comani. 527 00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:47,640 Speaker 4: Vidal Gus Edwards has been shelved for the game against 528 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 4: New England. You do have the expectation that JK. Dobbins 529 00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,720 Speaker 4: is back in some form, But are you gonna bring 530 00:26:53,800 --> 00:26:56,639 Speaker 4: him off ir and immediately give him thirty carries? 531 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:57,200 Speaker 1: No? 532 00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,800 Speaker 4: So Vadal twenty carries over his life, I think there's 533 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,679 Speaker 4: an opportunity here, more so for your daily you know, 534 00:27:04,840 --> 00:27:08,800 Speaker 4: dollar play for daily Fantasy, and only in acts of 535 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,080 Speaker 4: sheer desperation in your straight league, because if you end 536 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,760 Speaker 4: up winning a league because he goes off, then you're 537 00:27:15,800 --> 00:27:17,399 Speaker 4: gonna be spiking on folks at. 538 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 3: New Year's if it's gonna be crazy. 539 00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:22,840 Speaker 4: How about tad Jay Spears going up at Jacksonville back 540 00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:25,000 Speaker 4: to back double digit touch games for him with three 541 00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:28,440 Speaker 4: touchdowns thirteen receptions over the last three That's where I'm 542 00:27:28,440 --> 00:27:31,040 Speaker 4: looking for him to make some noise. Jalen McMillan, we've 543 00:27:31,080 --> 00:27:34,679 Speaker 4: talked about a lot. Fourteen receptions, four touchdowns in his 544 00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:38,760 Speaker 4: last three games. He'll be active once again. Price shot 545 00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,920 Speaker 4: on Marvin Mims to tie him up with bo Nix 546 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,520 Speaker 4: over there in the hot plays three or more receptions 547 00:27:44,520 --> 00:27:47,400 Speaker 4: for straight games. And then finally, we don't know about 548 00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:50,280 Speaker 4: Malik Neighbors. One of our usual suspects early on in 549 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:54,919 Speaker 4: the year, Dan so wan Dale Robinson fifteen catches get this, 550 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 4: thirty two targets in the last three weeks. 551 00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:01,159 Speaker 1: And he was a guy that you even touched on 552 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:04,040 Speaker 1: earlier in the year, especially when Neighbors was out with 553 00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:07,440 Speaker 1: that concussion. So now you know another opportunity for. 554 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 3: Them target opportunities. 555 00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,880 Speaker 4: Right, all we can ask for is chances to make 556 00:28:10,880 --> 00:28:14,440 Speaker 4: a play and if nothing else, take our cheap. 557 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:15,960 Speaker 3: Like the Bears Seahawks game. 558 00:28:16,160 --> 00:28:19,480 Speaker 4: I'll take my screen pass one for four yards and 559 00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:21,320 Speaker 4: just multiply that a few times. 560 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,399 Speaker 1: By the way, if and this is no offense to 561 00:28:25,560 --> 00:28:29,920 Speaker 1: Vidal or Spears or McMillan, but if you win your 562 00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:32,639 Speaker 1: fantasy league because of those guys, I think you have 563 00:28:32,720 --> 00:28:35,760 Speaker 1: to get their jersey. Like that has to happen. Yeah, 564 00:28:36,080 --> 00:28:37,720 Speaker 1: I mean, like you don't have to do it if 565 00:28:37,720 --> 00:28:43,720 Speaker 1: it's Jamar Chase or Justin Jefferson or Saquon Barkley. But 566 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,120 Speaker 1: if it's Vidal or Spears and they go off and 567 00:28:46,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Speaker 1: they give you the title, I think it's only fitting 568 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:53,320 Speaker 1: that you at least contribute to their the little portion 569 00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:55,280 Speaker 1: that they would get from jersey sales. 570 00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,360 Speaker 4: And to make sure that you send your screenshots of 571 00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 4: your team rosters along, I'll find a trading card of them. Yeah, 572 00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:07,800 Speaker 4: that'll be my reminder, so you could put it up 573 00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:09,840 Speaker 4: on your board as you go back to the draft 574 00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:12,080 Speaker 4: draft rooms of next fall. 575 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:14,400 Speaker 1: That is one of the neat things we've seen, you know, 576 00:29:14,480 --> 00:29:17,240 Speaker 1: when one NFL team beats another NFL team to allow 577 00:29:17,280 --> 00:29:19,480 Speaker 1: that other NFL team to get into the playoffs. You know, 578 00:29:19,520 --> 00:29:22,200 Speaker 1: like when the Bengals beat the Ravens that year to 579 00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:25,800 Speaker 1: end the Bills playoff drought, and then all the Buffalo 580 00:29:25,880 --> 00:29:29,440 Speaker 1: fans were sending money to Andy Dalton's charity. Oh yeah, 581 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,560 Speaker 1: that season. You know a lot of different things. You 582 00:29:31,600 --> 00:29:33,840 Speaker 1: could do the same thing fantasy wise. I know people 583 00:29:34,680 --> 00:29:37,400 Speaker 1: will suggest that at time or two. Or you could 584 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,880 Speaker 1: just be like me and be greedy and keep it 585 00:29:38,880 --> 00:29:42,120 Speaker 1: all yourself. That's all. Whatever way you want to. 586 00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 3: Rollpoil yourself for your brilliant standby. 587 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:48,680 Speaker 1: There it is. You earned it, your hot plays, cold soars, 588 00:29:48,720 --> 00:29:51,560 Speaker 1: and ninja's. For Week seventeen, we aren't done well, love 589 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,560 Speaker 1: Ian Roddy streaming defenses. Plus I'll try to give you 590 00:29:54,600 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: some information as well as we wrap up our entering 591 00:29:58,080 --> 00:30:00,840 Speaker 1: championship week. We know there's some championship go two weeks 592 00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 1: and something that go week eighteen, but for the most part, 593 00:30:03,560 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: this is where the winning happens. And we'll have more 594 00:30:05,840 --> 00:30:07,880 Speaker 1: for you next right here, and I want your flex 595 00:30:11,280 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: all right, let's get to the streaming defenses. Mike do 596 00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:16,680 Speaker 1: you want to do the honors with Ian's infall or sure? 597 00:30:16,760 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 3: Let me okay, dial it up. I'll do my best Ian. 598 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,320 Speaker 1: Okay, Hey, Ian, are you on Blue Sky yet? 599 00:30:22,640 --> 00:30:23,120 Speaker 3: No? 600 00:30:24,400 --> 00:30:25,240 Speaker 1: You're perfect though. 601 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,160 Speaker 4: Well, he either goes one of two ways. He's gonna 602 00:30:27,160 --> 00:30:29,320 Speaker 4: give you an immediate reaction, or he's gonna hem in 603 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,280 Speaker 4: hall yes and lets you sweat it out a second 604 00:30:32,280 --> 00:30:35,480 Speaker 4: before going no. The British guy can still come in 605 00:30:35,520 --> 00:30:37,000 Speaker 4: and steal a meals like it. 606 00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,440 Speaker 1: All right, let's get to uh, let's get to Ian's 607 00:30:40,520 --> 00:30:42,320 Speaker 1: streaming defenses for the week. 608 00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:44,520 Speaker 4: All right, Well, we're gonna go to the Chargers first 609 00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:47,880 Speaker 4: fifty five roster. They're a four point road favorite at 610 00:30:47,920 --> 00:30:50,800 Speaker 4: New England. That's my editorialism. Forty two and a half 611 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:52,800 Speaker 4: is your total. You're looking at one of the best 612 00:30:52,800 --> 00:30:56,760 Speaker 4: defenses in the NFL for weeks. Right, for the entire season, 613 00:30:56,800 --> 00:31:00,440 Speaker 4: we've watched them in terms of points allowed being dingy. 614 00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,120 Speaker 4: While Drake May is good for a rookie quarterbacks, no 615 00:31:03,240 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 4: weapons and the terrible offensive line. He's on a seven 616 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:12,360 Speaker 4: game interception streak, so opportunity there, and they've topped out 617 00:31:12,360 --> 00:31:17,080 Speaker 4: at twenty five points scored since May took over in 618 00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:21,040 Speaker 4: Week six, like that's their their max. So opportunity here 619 00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:24,040 Speaker 4: for the Chargers d I would agree with them. I 620 00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 4: think right, we're looking at an offensive line that should 621 00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 4: be under duress, Chargers still playing for stuff. I did 622 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:35,320 Speaker 4: like the Harbaugh quote from earlier on Thursday talking about, hey, 623 00:31:35,320 --> 00:31:37,720 Speaker 4: they got blood pumping through and he goes, I'm not 624 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,840 Speaker 4: a doctor, so I probably got all the biology wrong. 625 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: But the whole point is they're football players. It may 626 00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:44,200 Speaker 4: be cold, get over it. 627 00:31:45,120 --> 00:31:48,720 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's football, That's what it is. What it is people. 628 00:31:48,600 --> 00:31:50,360 Speaker 3: Exactly who's got it better than us? 629 00:31:50,600 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 1: Yeah? Unfortunately nobody really Chargers. Yes, I am right, all right. 630 00:31:57,600 --> 00:32:00,800 Speaker 4: The other streaming defense, he raises up. This one's a 631 00:32:00,800 --> 00:32:03,440 Speaker 4: bit of a price shot. So ready for it. Ready, 632 00:32:03,560 --> 00:32:07,360 Speaker 4: wait for it, Wait for it. The Las Vegas Raiders 633 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 4: one and a half point favorites. The last I looked 634 00:32:10,560 --> 00:32:13,120 Speaker 4: on the road at New Orleans is the Vegas given 635 00:32:13,160 --> 00:32:14,480 Speaker 4: points to anybody? 636 00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:17,240 Speaker 3: Thirty seven and a half is your total? 637 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:20,360 Speaker 1: What's the reasoning? What's Ian's reasoning? 638 00:32:20,440 --> 00:32:23,040 Speaker 4: The Saints are just coming out of the shutout by 639 00:32:23,080 --> 00:32:26,640 Speaker 4: the Packers, right the first of twenty twenty four. You 640 00:32:26,680 --> 00:32:29,200 Speaker 4: and I got to be on air together at Fox 641 00:32:29,200 --> 00:32:32,680 Speaker 4: Sports Radio for that historic moment. He just comes back 642 00:32:32,680 --> 00:32:36,920 Speaker 4: over the top. They're playing against the Saints twelve rosters. 643 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:41,920 Speaker 4: Kamara's questionable to play, but he's probably gonna be sidelined, saying, 644 00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,480 Speaker 4: since it would make they've got nothing to play for, 645 00:32:45,240 --> 00:32:47,840 Speaker 4: so makes sense to keep him sidelined at this point, 646 00:32:48,040 --> 00:32:52,760 Speaker 4: which leaves them devoid of true playmakers. And now I'm extrapolating. 647 00:32:53,520 --> 00:32:57,160 Speaker 4: He gave us some very very yes, sparse notes on 648 00:32:57,200 --> 00:33:00,120 Speaker 4: this one, just saying more or less I'm reading the 649 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:02,120 Speaker 4: link and says the Saints are not good. 650 00:33:02,920 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: I was gonna say, if you're in a championship game 651 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 1: and you want to stream the Raiders, more power to you. 652 00:33:10,280 --> 00:33:14,200 Speaker 1: Like like that, that's gonna be your prerogative. That's what 653 00:33:14,200 --> 00:33:16,120 Speaker 1: you're going to live by. Go right ahead. 654 00:33:16,320 --> 00:33:18,240 Speaker 4: Wait, I got to look it up though. Right as 655 00:33:18,280 --> 00:33:22,680 Speaker 4: we're sitting here, it's late on Thursday. Obviously, depending on 656 00:33:22,720 --> 00:33:25,080 Speaker 4: how you do your rankings, a lot of folks putting 657 00:33:25,160 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 4: them in early, right the quote, experts, analysts, whatever. Sometimes 658 00:33:30,760 --> 00:33:33,680 Speaker 4: you know it's day to day, right, Yeah, this waiting 659 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:37,120 Speaker 4: on injury reports and you make the adjustments to kind 660 00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,120 Speaker 4: of show the strength or weakness of what you think 661 00:33:40,120 --> 00:33:43,080 Speaker 4: of those first early matchups. So as of right now, 662 00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:47,360 Speaker 4: the Raiders are ranked seventh for the week by need okay, 663 00:33:47,800 --> 00:33:51,480 Speaker 4: by the entirety of the industry. And this is well, 664 00:33:51,520 --> 00:33:55,400 Speaker 4: it says thirty thirty one people out of one hundred available. 665 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,480 Speaker 4: So this is the consensus that it gave me, and 666 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,000 Speaker 4: maybe I have to pay for. 667 00:33:59,000 --> 00:34:03,840 Speaker 1: More and more our thoughts decent little you know snapshot. 668 00:34:03,920 --> 00:34:10,040 Speaker 4: Hey, it's a it's a viable, viable statistical yeah you 669 00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:12,759 Speaker 4: know category here because we've got more than thirty in 670 00:34:12,800 --> 00:34:16,320 Speaker 4: our sample size. So it's Indianapolis at the top against 671 00:34:16,360 --> 00:34:21,439 Speaker 4: the Giants, Miami at Cleveland, Philly at versus Dallas at home, 672 00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:25,279 Speaker 4: Chargers at New England. So number four, number seven are 673 00:34:25,960 --> 00:34:28,960 Speaker 4: Ian's picked here. Number five was the Seahawks tonight against 674 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:33,799 Speaker 4: the Bears, number six Buffalo versus the Jets, and number seven. 675 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:37,120 Speaker 3: The Las Vegas Raiders. No there it is, so wow, 676 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:37,640 Speaker 3: how about that? 677 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,759 Speaker 1: All right? Ian good good, good work. 678 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:47,359 Speaker 4: But yeah, so with no Max Crosby, hell yeah, it's gutsy. 679 00:34:47,400 --> 00:34:50,200 Speaker 1: Plus that means you're probably keeping an eye on Saints 680 00:34:50,280 --> 00:34:55,880 Speaker 1: Raiders on Sunday. Again. With such a limited schedule, I 681 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,200 Speaker 1: guess things could be worse. I don't know if that's 682 00:34:58,200 --> 00:34:58,680 Speaker 1: really the case. 683 00:34:58,680 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 3: It's only twenty nine remaining. 684 00:35:00,719 --> 00:35:03,120 Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. Well, I'll tell you in a similar 685 00:35:03,320 --> 00:35:08,200 Speaker 1: similar boat with survivor pools. It's funny the circa survivor pool. 686 00:35:08,280 --> 00:35:12,319 Speaker 1: You know, that's like fourteen million dollars there are I 687 00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:16,799 Speaker 1: believe thirty five entries remaining. So Week seventeen is a 688 00:35:16,960 --> 00:35:20,920 Speaker 1: double pick week where they have double picked the first 689 00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:24,520 Speaker 1: three games, and now you go into the Saturday, Sunday, 690 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:27,160 Speaker 1: and Monday will be a separate pick. You had forty 691 00:35:27,239 --> 00:35:33,480 Speaker 1: five entries entering the week, and twenty pick the Seahawks, 692 00:35:33,520 --> 00:35:36,080 Speaker 1: eleven picked the Ravens, six pick the Bears, four pick 693 00:35:36,160 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: the Steelers, three pick the Chiefs, and one pick the Texans. 694 00:35:39,800 --> 00:35:44,040 Speaker 1: So eleven dropped out, so that leaves thirty four left 695 00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:47,080 Speaker 1: for the remaining schedule. And I would think that a 696 00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:50,680 Speaker 1: bunch are either going to be on the Titans or Jaguars, 697 00:35:51,080 --> 00:35:54,360 Speaker 1: where you wouldn't have those selections, And I'm signing with 698 00:35:54,400 --> 00:35:57,879 Speaker 1: the Jaguars in this one just because they're at home. 699 00:35:57,920 --> 00:36:01,520 Speaker 1: I actually think Tennessee's person now probably plays a little 700 00:36:01,520 --> 00:36:03,279 Speaker 1: bit better, but I'm going to give the Jaguars the 701 00:36:03,320 --> 00:36:06,600 Speaker 1: home nod for my Survivor pick, Mike, My points of 702 00:36:06,680 --> 00:36:11,360 Speaker 1: Palooza is going to be Sunday Night Football, Falcons Commanders. 703 00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:14,359 Speaker 1: Let's see Michael Pennix kind of open up in this 704 00:36:14,560 --> 00:36:19,240 Speaker 1: rookie quarterback battle, have a little bit more more fun. 705 00:36:19,719 --> 00:36:22,719 Speaker 1: I know it's probably behooves the Falcons to give you 706 00:36:22,760 --> 00:36:24,840 Speaker 1: a lot of Bijon and give you a lot of 707 00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:27,360 Speaker 1: Tyler l gear, But I still think there's gonna be 708 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,480 Speaker 1: some points. Washington gives them up. We've seen saw it 709 00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:33,319 Speaker 1: last week against the Eagles, even with Kenny Pickett in 710 00:36:33,360 --> 00:36:35,680 Speaker 1: the game. So let's see if Let's see if that 711 00:36:35,800 --> 00:36:39,000 Speaker 1: ends up becoming the points of Palosa. The highest point 712 00:36:39,040 --> 00:36:41,680 Speaker 1: total for the over unders this week was forty nine 713 00:36:41,800 --> 00:36:44,600 Speaker 1: Ers and Lions heading into this one, and so points 714 00:36:44,640 --> 00:36:46,840 Speaker 1: of Bealoza that I try to pick is usually not 715 00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:49,719 Speaker 1: the top overall. So we're going to go a little 716 00:36:49,760 --> 00:36:51,919 Speaker 1: less with the Falcons and Commanders right now at forty 717 00:36:51,960 --> 00:36:52,680 Speaker 1: seven and a half. 718 00:36:52,920 --> 00:36:53,719 Speaker 3: Oh I dig that. 719 00:36:53,880 --> 00:36:56,600 Speaker 4: Yeah, Wait, that's the game. I love the fact that 720 00:36:56,840 --> 00:37:00,800 Speaker 4: over the last few days and throughout the week able 721 00:37:00,840 --> 00:37:04,200 Speaker 4: to lean into the advertising again. We don't get caught 722 00:37:04,280 --> 00:37:07,120 Speaker 4: up in a ton of it, Dan, but that they're 723 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:11,720 Speaker 4: able to really showcase. Hey, Jayden Daniels, right, first Sunday 724 00:37:11,760 --> 00:37:14,520 Speaker 4: night football game, you gotta we gotta want to see this. 725 00:37:14,719 --> 00:37:17,319 Speaker 4: You gotta watch what this kid's doing. Because we had 726 00:37:17,320 --> 00:37:19,239 Speaker 4: that lull in the middle of the season. I was like, oh, 727 00:37:19,280 --> 00:37:24,000 Speaker 4: it's another second half Kingsbury job. And you know, as 728 00:37:24,040 --> 00:37:27,920 Speaker 4: we talked about in the top five, four straight multiple touchdown, 729 00:37:27,960 --> 00:37:31,520 Speaker 4: winging the ball around Terry McLaurin his opportunities, I want 730 00:37:31,520 --> 00:37:34,360 Speaker 4: to say he's twenty sixth, right, I was going to 731 00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:36,440 Speaker 4: make mention of that in the in the rankings and 732 00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:42,280 Speaker 4: all twenty sixth in terms of chances. He's got twelve touchdowns, 733 00:37:43,040 --> 00:37:47,840 Speaker 4: So he's making the most of the opportunities and he's 734 00:37:47,880 --> 00:37:51,160 Speaker 4: showing out. And Daniels, you know, has been unflappable. You 735 00:37:51,200 --> 00:37:53,319 Speaker 4: can say a lot, you know, over the course of 736 00:37:53,360 --> 00:37:55,399 Speaker 4: the year, and I know all the you know, I'm 737 00:37:55,400 --> 00:37:58,040 Speaker 4: gonna do the all twenty two kind of die, you know, 738 00:37:58,120 --> 00:38:01,279 Speaker 4: diet tribes and whatever else, and the kid just keeps 739 00:38:01,280 --> 00:38:03,719 Speaker 4: getting up and that's all and that's all you can 740 00:38:03,800 --> 00:38:07,799 Speaker 4: ask for. So in this one against Pennix, Pennix, Wreck 741 00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,279 Speaker 4: has to recognize what's here too, right, you got a 742 00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:13,799 Speaker 4: playoff opportunity and you got a national stage to go 743 00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:16,640 Speaker 4: and wing it around and go big arm for big arms. 744 00:38:16,680 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 4: So yeah, forty eight and a half in the total 745 00:38:19,640 --> 00:38:21,600 Speaker 4: is what i'd seen. But forty seven and a half 746 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:24,600 Speaker 4: maybe earlier in the week where or later maybe I 747 00:38:24,719 --> 00:38:26,720 Speaker 4: was just too early on it. But you got another 748 00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:29,319 Speaker 4: forty eight Green Bay, Minnesota. You got another forty eight 749 00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:32,719 Speaker 4: and a half Carolina Tampa, which is insane. 750 00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:34,680 Speaker 1: Yeah. 751 00:38:34,760 --> 00:38:38,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, forty nine and a half with Denver Cincinnati, and 752 00:38:38,120 --> 00:38:40,880 Speaker 4: then the fifty and a half with Detroit and San Francisco. 753 00:38:41,520 --> 00:38:44,319 Speaker 3: Yeah, there's a couple others in the high thirties and all. 754 00:38:44,600 --> 00:38:47,520 Speaker 3: But for Fantasy Championship. 755 00:38:46,880 --> 00:38:49,319 Speaker 4: Week, I think you got a slate that he I mean, 756 00:38:49,480 --> 00:38:51,759 Speaker 4: you may not love the matchups, you know, at least 757 00:38:51,800 --> 00:38:55,000 Speaker 4: looking at the eye test and going nih but Vegas 758 00:38:55,080 --> 00:38:57,480 Speaker 4: is telling you we're gonna get some big point totals 759 00:38:57,480 --> 00:39:01,240 Speaker 4: for your fantasy rosters. So it may it'll recover nicely 760 00:39:01,280 --> 00:39:03,040 Speaker 4: from what we saw on Thursday. 761 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,480 Speaker 1: Night on our Oasis Pick of the Week. I have 762 00:39:06,920 --> 00:39:10,880 Speaker 1: tried to hold off on the big hits, the big 763 00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:16,160 Speaker 1: songs until it's appropriate, and my use of Wonderwall was 764 00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:19,279 Speaker 1: perfect because it was Josh Allen in the week that 765 00:39:19,320 --> 00:39:23,560 Speaker 1: he had six touchdowns, So I was very very fulfilled 766 00:39:23,600 --> 00:39:31,360 Speaker 1: with that. Mike. You actually, I guess confirmed my original thought. 767 00:39:32,080 --> 00:39:36,480 Speaker 1: My Champagne Supernova, who I've kept for Week seventeen because 768 00:39:37,000 --> 00:39:39,759 Speaker 1: it's Championship week and if you win, you're going to 769 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:44,440 Speaker 1: be popping Champagne Pooka Nakua wide receiver Los Angeles Rams. 770 00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,200 Speaker 3: Oh, let's go. 771 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:47,879 Speaker 1: I just I think that that is in a game 772 00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:52,520 Speaker 1: that the Rams must have the Vision opponent Saturday night, 773 00:39:52,960 --> 00:39:57,480 Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford's going to who he trusts and it is 774 00:39:57,520 --> 00:39:59,799 Speaker 1: going to be a lot of Poka nakua, and I 775 00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,080 Speaker 1: expect him to have a monster game on Saturday Night. 776 00:40:03,480 --> 00:40:07,319 Speaker 4: He since he came back from his injury, Dan has 777 00:40:07,520 --> 00:40:10,000 Speaker 4: eight or more targets in all but one game, the 778 00:40:10,040 --> 00:40:12,200 Speaker 4: game against Seattle, and. 779 00:40:12,160 --> 00:40:14,120 Speaker 1: He was even digged up, you know a little bit 780 00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,080 Speaker 1: in that game. Came back in and yeah. 781 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,000 Speaker 4: Yeah, I missed some time during that game, though, But 782 00:40:18,040 --> 00:40:21,400 Speaker 4: otherwise you're looking at three double digits and a bunch 783 00:40:21,440 --> 00:40:23,560 Speaker 4: of eights and nines on the board. So all we 784 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:27,120 Speaker 4: can talk about is opportunity, right three to one three 785 00:40:27,200 --> 00:40:32,680 Speaker 4: yard games, a couple others over ninety yards, opportunity presents itself. 786 00:40:32,719 --> 00:40:37,320 Speaker 4: So there you go, Champagne toasts New Year's Eve because 787 00:40:37,320 --> 00:40:38,120 Speaker 4: of Pokin Nika. 788 00:40:38,640 --> 00:40:40,960 Speaker 1: Let's be honest, this team was going nowhere at the 789 00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:42,680 Speaker 1: start of the season and part of the reason was 790 00:40:42,719 --> 00:40:45,719 Speaker 1: because of Nikoua's absence when he got hurt in that 791 00:40:45,840 --> 00:40:48,680 Speaker 1: Lions game. And they've been great the second half of 792 00:40:48,719 --> 00:40:50,880 Speaker 1: the year, and we'll see if they can not to 793 00:40:50,960 --> 00:40:53,320 Speaker 1: my Seahawks. It would be great if they could lose 794 00:40:53,320 --> 00:40:55,120 Speaker 1: and stink. I just don't think it's going to happen 795 00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,360 Speaker 1: Saturday night, and I think Pookin Nakua is going to 796 00:40:57,400 --> 00:40:59,680 Speaker 1: have a game. So all right there. It is your 797 00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:03,080 Speaker 1: week's seventeen primer for Championship Week, just to give you 798 00:41:03,080 --> 00:41:04,799 Speaker 1: a heads up on how things roll here, and I 799 00:41:04,840 --> 00:41:06,880 Speaker 1: want your flex. Mike and I are with you for 800 00:41:06,960 --> 00:41:10,359 Speaker 1: double episodes heading into week eighteen as well, and then 801 00:41:10,400 --> 00:41:12,960 Speaker 1: once playoffs start, will be with you for once a 802 00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:15,360 Speaker 1: week with an episode taking a look back at the 803 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:18,400 Speaker 1: playoff games and then looking ahead. So the week that 804 00:41:18,680 --> 00:41:21,800 Speaker 1: is ahead in that postseason, but should be fun. Season's 805 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:24,279 Speaker 1: gone quick, but we're already here Mike at the. 806 00:41:24,360 --> 00:41:28,359 Speaker 4: End, grinding through it and lots of lessons learned, the 807 00:41:28,360 --> 00:41:33,240 Speaker 4: resurgence of the running game and the fact that I boy, 808 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,319 Speaker 4: I really like to gamble when it comes to my 809 00:41:36,480 --> 00:41:39,959 Speaker 4: fantasy lineups that I put together a lot of young 810 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 4: guys that I banked on. Dan, I need to go 811 00:41:42,920 --> 00:41:46,480 Speaker 4: back to trusting people with some experience, but we'll do 812 00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:48,040 Speaker 4: the lessons learned at the end. 813 00:41:48,200 --> 00:41:51,280 Speaker 3: But yeah, this season has gone by so fast. 814 00:41:51,400 --> 00:41:53,879 Speaker 1: We're gonna have to find a half happy medium because 815 00:41:53,880 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 1: I felt like I trusted the old reliables too much 816 00:41:56,719 --> 00:41:58,759 Speaker 1: and missed out on some of the youth movement. But 817 00:41:59,360 --> 00:42:03,080 Speaker 1: that's what fantasy football is. So anyway, thanks to Ian Roddy, 818 00:42:03,160 --> 00:42:05,359 Speaker 1: who is not on air with us today, we gave 819 00:42:05,440 --> 00:42:09,200 Speaker 1: us his information and for Mike Carmen, I'm Dan Byer. 820 00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,000 Speaker 1: Good lucky Championship week and we'll talk to you on 821 00:42:12,000 --> 00:42:14,520 Speaker 1: the other side of Week seventeen here on Ilanga Flex
