Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, December eleventh, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we suck
Speaker 1: and wrapping Christmas presents.
Speaker 2: Be your man, nam G Marcus Grant, joined by Michael
Speaker 2: f Florio and Lakwan Jones.
Speaker 1: I always felt bad because my sister would always wrap
Speaker 1: my presence for me, for like my mom and my dad.
Speaker 1: But then when it came time to wrap her presence,
Speaker 1: she got the one that was all just jumpled up
Speaker 1: and terrible.
Speaker 3: People say like, oh, if it takes you more than
Speaker 3: three pieces of tape, you're doing it wrong. I'm doing
Speaker 3: it inanely wrong.
Speaker 2: Then doing it wrong.
Speaker 4: My whole life need more than three, or you just
Speaker 4: go to.
Speaker 2: Do it. Three is like the minimum. You're kidding me. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I still got a couple of weeks to figure that
Speaker 2: part out.
Speaker 1: Anyway, we got a couple of minutes to jump to
Speaker 1: jump into this, So we're gonna preview the week fifteen
Speaker 1: Slate give you our fantasy hot takes as well, but
Speaker 1: we will start with some fantasy headlines.
Speaker 2: I guess in particular fantasy headline.
Speaker 1: Because we only got one of them, namely that Tommy
Speaker 1: DeVito is going to get the start against the Baltimore Ravens.
Speaker 2: So Cutletz is back this week, not really because.
Speaker 1: Of anything he did, mostly because Drew Lock is still
Speaker 1: in a walking boot and appears like he's not going
Speaker 1: to be ready for this week's game.
Speaker 2: But does it matter?
Speaker 1: Does it matter in terms of who you're gonna start
Speaker 1: from the Giants offense, whether it's Tommy DeVito or Drew Lock.
Speaker 3: It matters for my viewing pleasure of the because I'm
Speaker 3: gonna enjoy watching Tommy cutle It's a whole lot more
Speaker 3: than Drew Lock. No offense to Drew Locke, but no,
Speaker 3: it's still Tyro on Tracy. The leak neighbors are bussed
Speaker 3: here and even Tracy I don't love the matchup, but
Speaker 3: on paper this is a fantastic matchup from elite neighbors.
Speaker 1: I mean it is, and I've got him in the
Speaker 1: sleeper's column this week. I know he hasn't scored a
Speaker 1: touchdown since what week three? I think is the last
Speaker 1: time he.
Speaker 3: Is a sleeper like he qualifies. He should not be.
Speaker 3: He is talented for that to be where he is.
Speaker 1: I also think, though Lakwan, that our frustration with Mylaie
Speaker 1: Neighbors isn't necessarily about Melakue Neighbors. It is as I
Speaker 1: as I put it in a sleeper's column, it is
Speaker 1: the crushing weight of lofty expectations, right yeah, yeah, three
Speaker 1: twenty point games in a row early in the season.
Speaker 1: Since then, I mean, he's been around like twelve to
Speaker 1: fifteen points, which isn't terrible, but it does feel like
Speaker 1: we just set the bar really high for him.
Speaker 5: Guilty not me, because we kind of already knew what
Speaker 5: this was. I mean, the Giants O line was bad,
Speaker 5: Daniel Jones is bad, the whole team is bad. I mean,
Speaker 5: Elie Neighbors is the only shining star there. So it's
Speaker 5: like we kind of understand the bad product of having
Speaker 5: a bad quarterback what it does to these elite, top
Speaker 5: tier wide receivers. We see it all the time. Garrett
Speaker 5: Wilson with Zach Wilson hasn't ritttered with Drake London, like
Speaker 5: it goes on and on, and like I kind of
Speaker 5: hope that they really get some type of quarterback back
Speaker 5: there next season so elak Neighbors can be that wide
Speaker 5: receiver one and be mentioned with the Jamar chases Justin
Speaker 5: Jefferson and be a start and forget shouldn't end up
Speaker 5: nowhere near sleepers column. But here we are with bad
Speaker 5: quarterback play.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is where we are in week fifteen.
Speaker 1: That Elaitue Neighbors is a sleeper. We're also it feels
Speaker 1: like a lifetime ago when he was dropping Daniel Domees
Speaker 1: references right after the draft, like that felt like completely
Speaker 1: forever ago for sure. With Neighbors all at the stern
Speaker 1: Week fifteen and is fantasy playoff time for most leagues.
Speaker 1: I know there were some that started last week. I
Speaker 1: would assume they're probably some that start next week, but
Speaker 1: for the most part they stuck right now.
Speaker 2: This is it.
Speaker 1: So let's start with Thursday night football. Interesting game in
Speaker 1: the NFC West, longtime rivalry. The Rams go to Santa
Speaker 1: Clara to take on the forty nine Ers. You can
Speaker 1: see that at eight fifteen Eastern on Prime Video Florio.
Speaker 1: I know in your start sit column you've got Deebo
Speaker 1: Samuel as a sit. You were mentioning on NFL Fantasy
Speaker 1: Live that he got bullied on the internet.
Speaker 6: Yeah wild, He tweeted, like, I'm playing well, I just
Speaker 6: need to get the ball and then he got community
Speaker 6: notes like you lead the team in drops and I
Speaker 6: was like, oh my god, and then he deleted the time.
Speaker 1: I mean, the idea that a guy named Deevo got
Speaker 1: bullied is really to me, I think that's just funny.
Speaker 1: But all that being said, could we get a Squeaky
Speaker 1: Wheel game out of Deebo this week?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 3: And that is the one thing I put in my article.
Speaker 3: I said on Fantasy Live, like the reason, production, the usage,
Speaker 3: the history against the Rams all kind of points to
Speaker 3: reasons that you'd want to sit him. The only reason
Speaker 3: I could think of to start him is the squeaky
Speaker 3: Wheel logic. And being like he has come out publicly
Speaker 3: and called them out, are they going to build the
Speaker 3: game plan around him? What concerns for me though that
Speaker 3: I have one it's a short week, hard to build
Speaker 3: a game plan around that in just a couple of days.
Speaker 3: But also, I know he gets more carries and some
Speaker 3: people like that, but to me, in a PPR setting,
Speaker 3: and we live in a PPR world nowadays, I view
Speaker 3: that as kind of a negative because I'd rather those
Speaker 3: plays where's he's catching him behind the line of scrimmage.
Speaker 3: It's like a carry but he gets a point just
Speaker 3: for catching that ball.
Speaker 1: I think everybody I caught up on him having all
Speaker 1: those carries and all those rushing yards a few years ago,
Speaker 1: because at the time it was a big boost to
Speaker 1: what he was doing. You don't want to build a
Speaker 1: whole plane out of that, and I think that's sort
Speaker 1: of where the confusion and the frustration comes in. Those
Speaker 1: jet sweeps just not hitting the way they used to
Speaker 1: a few years ago with Debo. But qu I do
Speaker 1: want to ask, because I made the reference on the
Speaker 1: Monday Show that forty nine ers running backs are sort
Speaker 1: of like spinal tap drummers, and you guys just stared
Speaker 1: at me blankly, and fortunately for me, the very talented,
Speaker 1: very funny Jake Trowbridge on social media also made the
Speaker 1: same reference, So thank you Jake for saving my own ego.
Speaker 1: But in the meantime, Niner's running backs we seem to
Speaker 1: just cycle through them like socks. What is your outlook for?
Speaker 1: Patrick Taylor and or Israeli Bana Kanda are either worth
Speaker 1: starting this?
Speaker 5: It might be tough, and honestly, I don't know about
Speaker 5: Patrick Taylor. He didn't really get much opportunity until Grenda
Speaker 5: was injured, so it's like, I really don't understand how
Speaker 5: we're running to the waiver wire for a guy like
Speaker 5: that when we have Izzy Bonnie Kanda on the waiver
Speaker 5: wire as well.
Speaker 4: He's more explosive. So I'm more so leaning that way.
Speaker 5: I know, I kind of want to zeg when everybody
Speaker 5: else's bagging and kind of go that way where I
Speaker 5: feel like he's more explosive, more more efficient as well,
Speaker 5: because I didn't really see much out of Patrick Taylor
Speaker 5: that I was like, Wow, blown out of the water.
Speaker 5: I need to get this guy, So I'm really leaning
Speaker 5: that way. We're Brooklyn at my Ibana. Kanda don't want
Speaker 5: none unless she got runs Ton.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 2: We'll see how this thing works.
Speaker 1: Ideally, if you're the forty nine is you just keep
Speaker 1: one or both of these guys healthy for the remainder
Speaker 1: of the game and the remainder.
Speaker 2: Of the season. For sure.
Speaker 1: Let's turn our attention note to the rest of Week fifteen,
Speaker 1: or at least a good chunk of Week fifteen, where
Speaker 1: I can get through all of the games because nobody's
Speaker 1: going to buy this week. But Bill's Lions on Paper
Speaker 1: is the most entertaining game of the week. The Bills
Speaker 1: coming off that score fest, they came up just short
Speaker 1: at so far against the Rams. Now they go to
Speaker 1: Detroit to take on the Lions, who have just won
Speaker 1: loss this season. We talked about this on Fantasy Live Florida.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's so many guys that you have to
Speaker 1: like in this game. Anybody though that you might not
Speaker 1: be starting, or at least have concerns about this.
Speaker 3: Yes, there's a couple if you want to just say concerns,
Speaker 3: because I think you probably still start him. It's James
Speaker 3: Cook because the Lions are elite at stopping the run.
Speaker 3: They're elite at stopping pass catching running backs, and like
Speaker 3: you were pointing out on Fantasy Live, we're seeing more
Speaker 3: Ray Davis, and what I think goes under the radar
Speaker 3: is in passing situations they're using Ty Johnson now and
Speaker 3: not James Cook. But the Bills tight ends, I'm sitting
Speaker 3: the Lions are the hardest matchup for tight ends this year.
Speaker 3: So whether it's Knox or Kincaid, I'll get away the
Speaker 3: defenses I'm sitting and then you probably start Sam Laport.
Speaker 3: But the Bills have been really tough against tight ends
Speaker 3: this year, so I would say he fits into the
Speaker 3: concerns column. Everyone else I'm starting and expecting a monster
Speaker 3: Fantasy day.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is projected to be the highest scoring
Speaker 1: game of the week. I love the Josh Allen Khalils,
Speaker 1: Shakir Stack, we love, we like Jimmy or Gibbs and
Speaker 1: David Montgomery anyway, but especially this week against that Bill's
Speaker 1: run defense. Both those guys very much in play.
Speaker 2: Again.
Speaker 1: The morning slate of games not so great, but everything
Speaker 1: seems backloaded. All the best games of the week seem
Speaker 1: like they are backloaded.
Speaker 3: The league wants all eyes on that game.
Speaker 1: They do absolutely one of the other later games this week,
Speaker 1: Lakwan Bucks at the Chargers Tampa, coming out here to
Speaker 1: Los Angeles to take on Jim Harbas group. Lad McConkie
Speaker 1: did not play last week, hopefully trending toward being available
Speaker 1: this week. But let's say he doesn't go. Can you
Speaker 1: start Justin Herbert? I mean, the matchup is great, but
Speaker 1: the pass catchers aren't. Can you start Herbert without Lad?
Speaker 5: I think you can. I think you can start them
Speaker 5: and be confident in him. Taken advantage of this banged
Speaker 5: up secondary that the Bucks got going on and understand
Speaker 5: look if Bryce Young can go out there and put
Speaker 5: up twenty plus fantasy points, I definitely think that Justin
Speaker 5: Herbert should be fine to go out there and put
Speaker 5: up some big points. I understand that Lad McConkie, if
Speaker 5: he's without that, you still have Quinton Johnson he found
Speaker 5: the end zone last week. You still have Joshua Palmer
Speaker 5: that tends to flash at times but not really consistent.
Speaker 5: But I just believe in Justin Herbert overall making the
Speaker 5: right decisions protecting the ball, so it's not like you're
Speaker 5: getting negative yard and he's a sneaky runner as well, man,
Speaker 5: so I think more so you should feel comfortable this week.
Speaker 5: I'm thinking top twelve is in the stars for him
Speaker 5: this week.
Speaker 2: I love that.
Speaker 1: I love that idea, and I'm just I'm really happy
Speaker 1: that at some point midway through the season, Greg Roman
Speaker 1: Jim Harbaugh just decided to take the raps off and
Speaker 1: let Justin Herbert throw the football.
Speaker 2: Now, with no JK.
Speaker 1: Dobbins and the fact that the run game really has
Speaker 1: stalled out, I think there's more reason to believe in
Speaker 1: Justin Herbert, at least more reason for him to get opportunities.
Speaker 1: So would be great to see if he can get
Speaker 1: it done even without Lad McConkey.
Speaker 2: This week, Steelers at.
Speaker 1: The Eagles, the Battle of the Keystone State, with Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: heading to Philly. I'm George Pickens, another guy who right
Speaker 1: now his status kind of up in the air this
Speaker 1: week did not play last week, Gloria, which Pittsburgh pass catchers?
Speaker 1: Would you start? If any If there is no George Pickens.
Speaker 3: Pat Friarmouth, And I think that's kind of it for me.
Speaker 3: Like last week it was, I know, like I look
Speaker 3: with six teams on by, like I see saw some
Speaker 3: people streaming Calvin Austin or Mike Williams stuff like that,
Speaker 3: and I'm like, Okay, the week called for it. This
Speaker 3: week there's no buys. It's the Fantasy playoffs. The floor
Speaker 3: is entirely too low with any of these Steelers pass
Speaker 3: catchers to trust. But Brian Muth has been putting up
Speaker 3: better results as of late. The volume has been ticking
Speaker 3: up slowly but surely. And look, this is a game
Speaker 3: where they're probably going to be back and forth, maybe trailing.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be a little bit more higher scoring than
Speaker 3: I think most Steelers' games are because of the offense
Speaker 3: on the other side. But yeah, for me, I don't
Speaker 3: even like the running backs in this one. For the Steelers,
Speaker 3: I don't. I have Russ as a cit. I have
Speaker 3: their running backs as they sit. Brian mut the only
Speaker 3: start that I have. I mean we thought that last
Speaker 3: week too. Chuba Hubbard surprisingly gave us a good game,
Speaker 3: but this doesn't feel like a week. Necessarily play around
Speaker 3: with it if you don't have to, and I think
Speaker 3: especially with pass catchers, like I don't try jamming Calvin.
Speaker 1: Austin into a lineup if you don't have to. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm sort of with you on Friar Mooth. I think
Speaker 1: there's some value there. But beyond that, I do remind
Speaker 1: myself Mike Williams is a stealer. I literally have to
Speaker 1: remind myself of that driving around you that they're like.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, they still have Mike Williams too.
Speaker 3: I don't get why they don't use him more.
Speaker 1: I mean, see Ravens, Comma, Deontay Johnson, same thing.
Speaker 3: Mike Tomman's probably looking for whoever's the craziest of this group.
Speaker 1: And that's who's gonna pepper with Target. I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: everybody needs a new Antonio Brown. That's all I'm saying.
Speaker 2: No, we don't.
Speaker 4: One is fine.
Speaker 7: We had the second coming of Dickens. There really is
Speaker 7: his own different beast. He is chaotic in a completely
Speaker 7: different way. Yeah, but it's chaotic nonetheless.
Speaker 2: Time to talk about some sleepers for the week. LQ,
Speaker 2: who you got uh?
Speaker 5: I'm going to Loidjah Moore as a solid sleeper this
Speaker 5: week as a flex option, maybe a wide receiver three option.
Speaker 5: But there might be a little bipolar to his game
Speaker 5: because if you look back at the game logs, it's
Speaker 5: been snip snap, snip snap since Winston became the starter.
Speaker 5: But the good news is he's taken advantage of the
Speaker 5: matchups that he's had and put up some solid points.
Speaker 5: In the Chiefs they allow the second most completions to
Speaker 5: slop wide receivers and there could be some upside that
Speaker 5: have a pizza party in the end zone for DJ
Speaker 5: to Elijah Moore. Because six touchdowns allowed to slot wide
Speaker 5: receivers that the Chiefs have allowed, five of those have
Speaker 5: come from passes of ten plus yards. So we know
Speaker 5: how aggressive Winston has been and he loves throwing past
Speaker 5: the stix. So I think right now with Winston being
Speaker 5: so aggressive in third and completions of ten plus yards.
Speaker 5: The stars are all aligning for Elijah Moore and Chiefs defense.
Speaker 5: They allowed some notable guys named Khali Shakir, Lad mcconki,
Speaker 5: even andre Yosibas and Curtis Samuel have above fourteen Fantasy points,
Speaker 5: so I think the stars are aligned for Elijah Moore.
Speaker 5: It'd be solid this week.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry I got distracted because I just imagined in
Speaker 1: my head instead of paying out into season bonuses, the
Speaker 1: Browns just having a pizza party for all their players
Speaker 1: in the zone for real.
Speaker 2: Who do you like here?
Speaker 3: Lakwan's boy Brian Robinson Junior, who I feel like has
Speaker 3: kind of not overlooked, but like we haven't really spoke
Speaker 3: about him much lately because he was in and out
Speaker 3: of the law, up with injuries and he had a
Speaker 3: snap count. But in his game before the value went
Speaker 3: for one hundred yards and a touchdown. He against the
Speaker 3: Saints this week, fourteen rushing touchdowns allowed by New Orleans.
Speaker 3: They allow over five yards per carry, which is a
Speaker 3: league high. And then their quarterback play is probably not
Speaker 3: going to be great this week with Derek Carr out,
Speaker 3: This could be a game with really favorable game script
Speaker 3: for Brian Robinson, one of those games where he just
Speaker 3: could get twenty twenty five plus carries, and when you
Speaker 3: get that much volume, you know he's gonna break one
Speaker 3: out long. So I think there is a chance for
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson to put up a monstrous game in the
Speaker 3: first round of the Fantasy Playoff.
Speaker 2: I mean, it very well could happen. And you're right.
Speaker 1: We haven't talked about Robinson in a while. He had
Speaker 1: the good start of the season. I know he was
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit, but really has had I
Speaker 1: think a very excellent season. I certainly exceeded my own
Speaker 1: expectations for him for sure. For me, it's gonna be
Speaker 1: Rico Dowdell, who really has put to bed any notion
Speaker 1: that he shouldn't be the running back one there in Dallas.
Speaker 1: It's nice that they sort of done away a little
Speaker 1: bit with his Ezekiel Elliott charade that.
Speaker 2: They have been going on.
Speaker 1: With their playing the majority of the snaps since Week nine.
Speaker 1: The last three week has been especially good. Over three
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty rushing yards, double digit Fantasy points in
Speaker 1: three straight games, really getting a lot of the touches
Speaker 1: back there and a fantastic matchup because we've been picking
Speaker 1: on Carolina's defense all year long. Maybe the best possible
Speaker 1: matchup for a fantasy running back. No team has allowed
Speaker 1: more rushing yards than the Panthers so far this year,
Speaker 1: even with Cooper Rush.
Speaker 2: I know there aren't a lot of places we can go.
Speaker 1: We still like Seedee Lamb, but the Rico Dawdell has
Speaker 1: been a guy that at this point you can sort
Speaker 1: of set and forget. At least as an RB two
Speaker 1: you can set and forget. I think for the remainder
Speaker 1: of the season, still got plenty more to talk about.
Speaker 2: We got a Sunday night game and two count them
Speaker 2: one two Monday night games this week.
Speaker 1: We will get to those and a little bit more
Speaker 1: after the break here on the NFL Fantasy Football Show,
Speaker 1: It's time to see who will represented by Uber eats
Speaker 1: so Lakwan, who is your hot start for this week?
Speaker 4: So Flurial, did you know that the Bills got early
Speaker 4: tickets to see Sonic three? Because yeah, it's going.
Speaker 5: To be any of explosiveness, speed and with Sonic and
Speaker 5: knuckles ring chasing, it's about to be a movie. My
Speaker 5: guy on the ground, So I want to highlight Knuckles
Speaker 5: though aka two times twenty twenty four angry run winner
Speaker 5: David Montgomery. We saw what Kivrin Williams did last week
Speaker 5: on the ground, and Rams found a huge success on
Speaker 5: the ground, and Monty has been a beast this entire season.
Speaker 5: He's just been very consistent, only one game with a
Speaker 5: single digit finish. So I really feel as though the
Speaker 5: game plan is going to be the one two punch
Speaker 5: with Sonic and Knuckles going against this Bill's defense that
Speaker 5: are allowing the most explosive plays at the highest rate
Speaker 5: in the NFL. So there's nothing else than Monte could
Speaker 5: do then go out there and put up a huge
Speaker 5: fantasy finish for fantasy managers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I feel like everybody's big on both of the
Speaker 1: Bill rather the Alliance running backs this week against the Bills.
Speaker 3: I predicted projected fifth points for them combined on Fantasy
Speaker 3: lot You can't hurt me, like I'm already expecting.
Speaker 1: I do love Florida getting out ahead of this, right,
Speaker 1: So he's like, look, I just I said it before
Speaker 1: you did, so it's gonna happen.
Speaker 3: Might as well embrace it.
Speaker 2: There it is. Florida was your hot start this week.
Speaker 3: It was supposed to be Brian Robinson Junior. I went
Speaker 3: out of order earlier, but Calvin Ridley because I don't.
Speaker 3: I expect big things out of Calvin Ridley once again
Speaker 3: this week. He had twelve targets last week, no one
Speaker 3: else on the Titans had more than four, and his
Speaker 3: fifty seven percent first read rate and Week fourteen was
Speaker 3: by far the highest in the NFL. Fifteen fantasy points
Speaker 3: per game in his last seven games. But I think
Speaker 3: he could build on that because he's getting the Bengals
Speaker 3: who won. You might have heard they give up a
Speaker 3: lot of points. They really struggled against the pass this year.
Speaker 3: You also probably heard their offense is on fire and
Speaker 3: would be having like an MVP leading candidate if they
Speaker 3: had a winning record. So yeah, they're gonna put up
Speaker 3: plenty of points, which means the Titans are gonna have
Speaker 3: to roll the ball against the Bengals defense. So I
Speaker 3: think that means great things for Calvin Ridley. The upside
Speaker 3: is far too high. I think you need to start.
Speaker 2: Him this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you gotta start Calvin Ridley. Also, look,
Speaker 1: you talk about the Bengals defense, I do have them
Speaker 1: as a sleeper this week just because.
Speaker 4: Will Levis production.
Speaker 1: That's the whole that's the whole analysis, Will Levis.
Speaker 3: I hope that, like that's all you wrote in your
Speaker 3: art was just.
Speaker 2: Will love it.
Speaker 1: But you know, look, as much as I love Ali
Speaker 1: bon Piri and the the folks at the edit desk there, they.
Speaker 3: Wanted a little more gotcha than just that.
Speaker 2: Otherwise I would have just said, well Levis and called
Speaker 2: it a day and we'll go on to the next name.
Speaker 4: Will Levis sacked.
Speaker 2: That's it you did.
Speaker 3: For me.
Speaker 2: My heart start this week is gonna be Chuba Hubbard.
Speaker 1: And last week Cuba came out and surprised a lot
Speaker 1: of us when we did not expect much from him against.
Speaker 2: The Philadelphia Eagles.
Speaker 1: Instead, he gave you a really good game, got you
Speaker 1: double digit fantasy points, and found the end zone. Sadly,
Speaker 1: some of it come at the expense of Jonathan Brooks,
Speaker 1: who unfortunately suffered another knee injury and is gone for
Speaker 1: the rest of the year, but it does continue the
Speaker 1: trend of Chuba Hubbard and his outstanding breakout season over
Speaker 1: a thousand rushing yards for the first time in his career,
Speaker 1: and this week he gets a Cowboys defense that has
Speaker 1: been bad.
Speaker 2: You heard me talk.
Speaker 1: About Rico Dwell earlier about how he's gonna be able
Speaker 1: to run on the Panthers. We'll flip the script and
Speaker 1: Chewba Hubbard should be able to find some running room against.
Speaker 2: The Dallas Cowboys as well.
Speaker 1: If this is the case, this game might be over
Speaker 1: in like seventy five minutes. Both these teams just decided
Speaker 1: they're going to run the football back and forth, keep
Speaker 1: the clock moving. I don't know how many points they're
Speaker 1: going to be, but both the running backs, is what
Speaker 1: I'm saying, are very much in play in this one.
Speaker 2: Look on where do we draft Chuba Hubbard next year?
Speaker 1: I mean it looks like Jonathan Brooks might be gone
Speaker 1: for a good point good chunk of next year is
Speaker 1: Chuba Hubbard? What second third round guy next season?
Speaker 4: I think he lives in the third round.
Speaker 5: You just hope that the Panthers don't go out there
Speaker 5: and sign like some type of veteran like Alexander Madison
Speaker 5: or something weird like.
Speaker 3: That, because I wouldn't change anything, but it would more annoying.
Speaker 4: It's just like just kidding. He's the Cuba. It just
Speaker 4: give it to him.
Speaker 5: He's earned it man like, he's earned my respect, even
Speaker 5: with him and Deontay Foreman back there, you know, last
Speaker 5: season and going back and forth. But Cuba, he's always
Speaker 5: had that talent explosiveness to him and he's worked his
Speaker 5: way up there and even though he's a Drake fan,
Speaker 5: it is what it is.
Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure.
Speaker 1: That was Who Will Deliver, presented by Uber Eats, where
Speaker 1: you can get the best deals on game day food
Speaker 1: all season long, the official on demand delivery partner of
Speaker 1: the NFL.
Speaker 3: Order.
Speaker 2: Now, all right.
Speaker 1: Back to are we fifteen previews? Sun that I have
Speaker 1: football Florio Packers at the Seahawks. Do we still trust
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid? He's been absolut lately.
Speaker 3: I don't like, no, I don't want to trust him,
Speaker 3: But fantasy is weird, and watch this is the kind
Speaker 3: of game like you'll pull him from your lineup and
Speaker 3: it'll score two touchdowns or something like that. But just
Speaker 3: one target last week, and if you pull it back
Speaker 3: even further, three or fewer targets in three of his
Speaker 3: last four games, and the carries haven't really been there
Speaker 3: all that much. In his last four game five games,
Speaker 3: he has just two carries, So you can't rely on
Speaker 3: those three like ten to twenty rushing yards anymore. I like,
Speaker 3: if I have Jayden Reid, it would depend on my
Speaker 3: options whether or not I'm going to start him, but
Speaker 3: I would probably be scared to not start him. But yeah,
Speaker 3: like my answer should tell you just how little like
Speaker 3: trust I haven't him because I just keep going back
Speaker 3: and forth on this.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like it's just hard to get away
Speaker 1: from him, but he also has been He's been so
Speaker 1: gone recently that it's just it's really hard to get
Speaker 1: behind him. Two Monday Night games coming up this week.
Speaker 1: The first one the Bears at the Vikings Lakwan Raate.
Speaker 1: For me, the Bears rank I should say the Bears
Speaker 1: wide receivers against this Minnesota secondary.
Speaker 5: Dj Moore at one, and then you got Roma Dunze
Speaker 5: and then Keenan Allen. I think DJ Moore's won only
Speaker 5: because Thomas Brown understands that assignment. He knows what he
Speaker 5: has to do get the ball to DJ Moore on
Speaker 5: the design plays, and I think the thirty three percent
Speaker 5: target share shows that. And honestly, Roman Donze has been
Speaker 5: showing up a ton in the red zone. Actually all
Speaker 5: season long, he's actually had more red zone targets in
Speaker 5: Keenan Allen, even though Keenan Allen recently has found success
Speaker 5: to finding in the end zone. So when you go
Speaker 5: into making these decisions and like, oh do I start
Speaker 5: Roman DUNESA, you do just with the touchdown upside and look,
Speaker 5: it's a division matchup. I think this is the game
Speaker 5: that Caleb Williams he arrives again. And I honestly think
Speaker 5: this might be a trap game for the Vikings. Believe
Speaker 5: it or not, I think the opposite. I think it's
Speaker 5: a trap game for the Bears.
Speaker 3: Like I think we're all going to be like, look
Speaker 3: at what Caleb Williams and Keenan Allen and DJ Moore
Speaker 3: did on Thanksgiving against his Vikings defense, and I think
Speaker 3: Brian Flores is going to draw up a completely different
Speaker 3: game plan and just come out and wreck havoc.
Speaker 1: I don't love that at all, because I have both
Speaker 1: Caleb and Keenan Allen as sleepers this week.
Speaker 4: I mean, I've got DJ Moore this week.
Speaker 2: Bro, It's not impossible, but that's I just DJ.
Speaker 1: I did say that Caleb shocks the Vikings this week,
Speaker 1: and for sure, that was my bold prediction, one of
Speaker 1: my bold predictions for the week second Monday Night game,
Speaker 1: it's the Falcons at the Raiders. It's the maybe the
Speaker 1: Desmond Rudder Funge game if Aid and O'Connell doesn't play,
Speaker 1: but that Florida. Do we still believe in Drake London
Speaker 1: and Darnell Mooney considering how much Kirk Cousins has struggled.
Speaker 3: Yes, because despite the struggles, Like, yeah, Kyle Pitts is somewhere,
Speaker 3: we have no idea what he's doing or where he's
Speaker 3: going anything like that. But these other two wide receivers
Speaker 3: have continued to be productive. And I know Drake London
Speaker 3: it doesn't feel like he's living up to expectations. But
Speaker 3: if you look at it on the season, he is
Speaker 3: a top ten Fantasy wide receiver. He's eight Molik Neighbors nine,
Speaker 3: Like they're right there as two guys are, like, really
Speaker 3: they beat top ten? They are, And then Darnell Mooney's
Speaker 3: not that far behind him wide receiver sixteen on the year.
Speaker 3: He's a little bit more up and down. I don't
Speaker 3: love this matchup as much for him, but yeah, I
Speaker 3: mean he's a little bit more like depending on your
Speaker 3: options than Drake London. But I do believe they still
Speaker 3: are in play.
Speaker 1: The good news this is a reminder that just because
Speaker 1: a quarterback throws interceptions, it has nothing to do with
Speaker 1: your fantasy wide receivers. So Kirk Cousins to go out
Speaker 1: to throw four picks does not impact you if you're
Speaker 1: starting Drake London and DARRENL. Mooney, except for the fact
Speaker 1: that just means the Falcons don't have the ball. It's
Speaker 1: time to drive your line. I'm presented by the all
Speaker 1: new hybrid Toyota. Camery got about ninety seconds left in
Speaker 1: the show, Lakwan, what is your hot take for the week?
Speaker 5: Anthony Richardson a top five fantasy quarterback this week, and look,
Speaker 5: two of his three last games have been twenty plus points.
Speaker 5: Twenty nine rushing attempts in the last three games as well,
Speaker 5: with three rushing touchdowns and seventy five percent of those
Speaker 5: runs were by design. This is a real opportunity to
Speaker 5: go out there and cook, I mean cook the Broncos
Speaker 5: defense because they've been getting done up through the air.
Speaker 5: Like I'm talking, forgotten on the grill, barbecue. You just
Speaker 5: sitting there the meets on the grill, you forgot about
Speaker 5: You're being a great host. I really think This is
Speaker 5: an opportunity for a deep ball for Alec Pierce to
Speaker 5: put up huge points this week for Anthony Richardson.
Speaker 2: All Right, Floria, what's your hot take?
Speaker 3: Similar with the top five theme, I think Khalils Shakir
Speaker 3: top five wide receiver this week. Like I am so
Speaker 3: excited to watch what he is going to do. Not
Speaker 3: only has he been really consistent as of late fantasy
Speaker 3: points wise and volume wise, but the Lions are in
Speaker 3: the top five and yards and fantasy points for game
Speaker 3: two wide receivers. They are the only team to allow
Speaker 3: over eight thousand yards to slot receivers. No one else
Speaker 3: has allowed eight sixty. So that just shows you how
Speaker 3: good of a matchup this is. It's going to be
Speaker 3: a score fest. It's going to be indoors and Josh
Speaker 3: Allen's safety blanket is going to go off.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I love Khalil Shakira this week one hundred percent. We
Speaker 1: talked about Mylaku Nighbors. I will tell you that my
Speaker 1: hot take, he goes for one hundred yards in a
Speaker 1: touchdown this week. The targets have been there consistently. Only
Speaker 1: three other receivers have a higher target share than Malik Neighbors.
Speaker 1: This year only seven other six other receivers rather have
Speaker 1: a higher air yards share than Neighbors. Yes, the production
Speaker 1: hasn't been what we wanted to. It's been a long
Speaker 1: time since he's found the end zone. At some point,
Speaker 1: you gotta think that that touchdown regression positive touchdown regression
Speaker 1: is coming his way. Could be this week against that
Speaker 1: raven secondary. We've been picking on it all year long.
Speaker 1: I think we keep picking on it, and I think
Speaker 1: Molik Neighbors finally comes back to life. I would try
Speaker 1: it more in DFS than I would in your fantasy
Speaker 1: playoff managed league.
Speaker 2: That's just my two cents there.
Speaker 1: That was Drive your lineup, presented by the all new
