Speaker 1: Wow.
Speaker 2: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, December fourth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 2: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We've got a
Speaker 2: little John An outcast on our Christmas playlists, Be your Man,
Speaker 2: MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones.
Speaker 2: I think I've said this before on this show, probably
Speaker 2: around this time of year, Like litl John did kind
Speaker 2: of a promo Christmas.
Speaker 1: Song with kool Aid. I listened to it because of you.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like I remember the time, thing like this
Speaker 2: is gonna be corny and trash when I'll listen to
Speaker 2: it just to laugh at it, and I'm like this
Speaker 2: kind of slaps.
Speaker 1: That's all I all have to say about that.
Speaker 2: Anyway, we got a lot going on on the show today.
Speaker 2: We got our Week fourteen slate. We're also giving you
Speaker 2: our fantasy hot takes as well. It is by mcgeddon,
Speaker 2: Part two. We were trying to figure out the name
Speaker 2: for it. I said bye mcgeddon too, bye bye bye.
Speaker 2: You may hate it, but it ain't no lie bye
Speaker 2: bye bye sports.
Speaker 1: What do you want for a minute.
Speaker 2: I was tired when I put this one down together, buddy,
Speaker 2: but I do kind of like it, though, I really
Speaker 2: like it.
Speaker 3: Bye bye bye, because that's my playoff chances because of
Speaker 3: all the notable players on buy.
Speaker 2: You may hate it, but it ain't no lie.
Speaker 1: Please put that six teams on a bye.
Speaker 2: The Ravens, the Broncos, the Texans, the Colts, the Patriots,
Speaker 2: and the Commanders. A lot of really fantasy relevant players there.
Speaker 2: But first, let's get to some fantasy headlines.
Speaker 1: Just one headline. I don't even if we need to
Speaker 1: run the graphic for it. Don't bother.
Speaker 2: The one thing we do know, Deontay Johnson has been
Speaker 2: suspended for one game by the Baltimore Ravens for conduct detrimental.
Speaker 2: Conduct detrimental to the team because in Week thirteen, he
Speaker 2: decided to not go into the ball game in the
Speaker 2: loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Lakwan, Will we even notice
Speaker 2: that Deontay Johnson is suspended the next time the Ravens
Speaker 2: take the field.
Speaker 3: No, he's been in the fantasy streets for some time now.
Speaker 3: He has not been on rosters and he shouldn't have
Speaker 3: been on rosters. Like we will not even like blink
Speaker 3: and eye of this. I mean, honestly, it's just weird.
Speaker 3: But what happened there, and you know, I got killed
Speaker 3: in the comments, you know, people coming at me when
Speaker 3: I commented that the Ravens don't even like wide receivers
Speaker 3: and this is proof they just don't like wide receivers.
Speaker 3: And you know, I feel bad for Deontay Johnson, But
Speaker 3: what a waste of a trade.
Speaker 2: I mean, this is like, you know, I don't know.
Speaker 2: It's like going to the store and like buying that
Speaker 2: thing that you think looks interesting. You get it home,
Speaker 2: You're like, I don't even want this, Like why did
Speaker 2: I spend money?
Speaker 4: He is such a good football player though, that like
Speaker 4: maybe we're getting answers now as to why teams keep
Speaker 4: getting rid of it real.
Speaker 2: I mean like the last time we saw we twelve
Speaker 2: gets the charges. He played five hole snaps, So that's.
Speaker 4: He's like, you don't want to play me.
Speaker 2: I don't want to play me, right except wild Anyway, Again,
Speaker 2: at this point, you've probably moved on from Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 2: Looks like the Ravens might be moving on from Deontay Johnson.
Speaker 2: Who knows we are moving on though to Thursday night football.
Speaker 2: You can see the Packers and the Lions Thursday eight fifteen,
Speaker 2: PM Eastern on Prime Video. Big matchup in the NFC North,
Speaker 2: the Lions trying to get to twelve and one, the
Speaker 2: Packer's trying to close the gap in the division. I've
Speaker 2: we've been kind of going through this all year long.
Speaker 2: But I'll ask you again, Florio, any Packers receivers you
Speaker 2: like besides Jaden Reid in what, at least on paper,
Speaker 2: is a tough matchup.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if Romeo Dobbs is able to clear concussion protocol
Speaker 4: and I know what happened on a Thursday, but they
Speaker 4: play on Thursday, so there's no sure thing of that.
Speaker 4: He would be the next man up for me because
Speaker 4: he has been their best option against man coverage and
Speaker 4: the Lions use man at the highest rate or one
Speaker 4: of the highest rates in the NFL. If he sits, though,
Speaker 4: I do think Christian Watson is in play because of
Speaker 4: the upside that he brings. The Lions really struggle against
Speaker 4: They don't give up touchdowns, but they give up yards
Speaker 4: to wide receivers. And this could be it's an indoor game,
Speaker 4: could be a score fest. And on top of it
Speaker 4: all a theme of the week. There's six teams on buys,
Speaker 4: so a high upside wide receiver is enough to probably
Speaker 4: be in play this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean I think you know you are willing
Speaker 2: to kind of take more shots on some of the
Speaker 2: other guys there, even if they're a little bit harder
Speaker 2: to predict in a game that I have a sense
Speaker 2: could be a little bit more of a higher scoring affair. Right,
Speaker 2: the games can both move up and down the field.
Speaker 2: It's indoors. There's no concern about whether h SO should
Speaker 2: be interesting to watch.
Speaker 3: For trust issues that I have with Christian Watson though,
Speaker 3: is what kind of bothers me? Like they do allow
Speaker 3: a ton of yards, but we know Jordan Love and
Speaker 3: his connection with Christian Watson's kind of yeah, like it's
Speaker 3: the lowest among the wide receivers of when he's targeting
Speaker 3: them in his passer rating, Like, I don't know what
Speaker 3: the connection is that. I mean, he's not completing the passes.
Speaker 3: I don't think I could trust Christian Watson this week,
Speaker 3: even with the matchup.
Speaker 1: Christian Watson, we're a baseball player.
Speaker 2: He's either hitting like four hundred foot bombs or he's
Speaker 2: hitting soft rollers to second base, Like that's it.
Speaker 4: Like the scors Carter, remember the dude on the astros
Speaker 4: who would hit like forty home runs but would hit
Speaker 4: like one fifty like that.
Speaker 1: That's him. That's him.
Speaker 3: About Darryl Strawberry, I mean, I just got educated on
Speaker 3: this guy and what a legend.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I gotta leave, Like, how.
Speaker 4: Do you not know you're from the Joy State area?
Speaker 3: Bro? I just had my first Strawberry as a thirty
Speaker 3: two year old man, Like.
Speaker 1: You don't know a human name Strawberry. I didn't know
Speaker 1: he was real.
Speaker 3: I thought he was like a creative player or something like.
Speaker 1: I didn't know he was real. I didn't know he
Speaker 1: was real bad.
Speaker 3: I don't know baseball.
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, my heart, my heart hurts. So I'm just
Speaker 2: gonna move on to Panthers and Eagles. Let's move on
Speaker 2: out to the rest of the Week fourteen slate, the
Speaker 2: Carolina Panthers at the Philadelphia Eagles. We've talked a lot
Speaker 2: about Bryce Young over the last couple of weeks, playing
Speaker 2: a lot better football. It hasn't necessarily translated to fantasy.
Speaker 2: Did have a nice game the last week, twenty three
Speaker 2: points against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers Lakwan. On paper, it's
Speaker 2: not a great matchup against the Eagles, but I do
Speaker 2: think it can be a pass heavy game. Script, You
Speaker 2: know what's the ceiling you think for Bryce Young again?
Speaker 2: Six teams on a bye. Would you slide him in
Speaker 2: as maybe a low end QB one or is that
Speaker 2: asking too much?
Speaker 3: Yes, and this is part of my hot take of
Speaker 3: the show, but I'm just gonna get into it now.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's playing with confidence and I'm not scared
Speaker 3: of this Eagles pass rush. We saw Matthew Stafford put
Speaker 3: up nineteen points last week even getting sacked five times.
Speaker 3: We're looking at this Eagles defense man. Everybody's like on
Speaker 3: Cooper Jasine and Quenya Mitchell and all that other stuff,
Speaker 3: but Bryce Young is playing really good football, getting better
Speaker 3: and better each and every week. And like they're like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 3: the Eagles have a bunch of sacks and their sack
Speaker 3: production like they got it on de Sean Watson and
Speaker 3: Daniel Jones and Matthew Stafford with the Rams old line
Speaker 3: still trying to get adjust bitjusted. But none of those
Speaker 3: teams that they got all that sack production on have
Speaker 3: a top ten Panthers O line. Like you have to
Speaker 3: understand Bryce Young is playing better and better each week
Speaker 3: with his pass catchers coming back to health, Jalen Coker
Speaker 3: practicing full. Adam Thielen looks good in the club right
Speaker 3: now is the old man going out there finding a
Speaker 3: way to get in the end zone. So yeah, the
Speaker 3: ceiling's high. I'm going high for Bryce Young. I'll save
Speaker 3: where I think he will go in fantasy points.
Speaker 1: So that's called a tease.
Speaker 2: Boys and girls, just stick around for the end of
Speaker 2: the show to find out what Luke want's hot takings.
Speaker 2: By the way, it's it's sort of sad because we
Speaker 2: saw that great one handed catch Adam Thiland made. It
Speaker 2: ends up sort of being lost to history because Super
Speaker 2: Hubbard fumbled and then the Panthers ended up losing that game.
Speaker 1: Otherwise it would have been the biggest op. Now, man,
Speaker 1: he's a Canadian guy.
Speaker 3: Now, I mean he's with that other guy over there
Speaker 3: across the border.
Speaker 1: I mean him coming out on in public and saying
Speaker 1: he's Team O VO. Man. Just just it's rough, rough.
Speaker 4: Da like Jonathan Brooks.
Speaker 1: You're up, you're up. Uh Bill's at the rams. Uh.
Speaker 2: Look, we saw this game a couple of years ago
Speaker 2: at SOFI Stadium. Was really you were there?
Speaker 1: Really interesting? A Uh Bill's got a big win.
Speaker 2: Now they come back to SOFI Stadium this week for
Speaker 2: an afternoon game. I'm I'm gonna ask you this, Florio,
Speaker 2: although I have a feeling that you and laqwand are
Speaker 2: probably aligned maybe on this one. I don't know, we'll
Speaker 2: find out. Would you flex Blake Korum this week?
Speaker 1: Potentially?
Speaker 4: He depends on options for me, because look, it's a
Speaker 4: fantast matchup. Like the Bills, you pick a stat they're
Speaker 4: probably in the top four loud like they top four catches,
Speaker 4: explosive runs, yards per carries since week nine. The list
Speaker 4: goes on receiving touchdowns, all of that. But Kien Williams
Speaker 4: is still there. And even last week, Kian Williams played
Speaker 4: close to seventy percent of the snaps, had more than
Speaker 4: double the amount of touches as Blake Korum. So I think,
Speaker 4: and I said this on Fantasy Live today, I think
Speaker 4: the Kian Williams hysteria, worry, whatever you want to say,
Speaker 4: was blown way out of proportion. I still believe he
Speaker 4: is the guy here, so Corum because of the matchup
Speaker 4: and because of the work he saw last week puts
Speaker 4: him in a like I would take the shot on
Speaker 4: him let's say over someone like Gus Edwards, but like
Speaker 4: he's still not someone that I feel.
Speaker 1: One hundred percent confident getting in my lineups. It's very
Speaker 1: option dependent for me.
Speaker 2: I' someone to ask you, I mean, Lakwan, should we
Speaker 2: flex Blake Korum this week?
Speaker 3: Yes? And here's why I think there's no way Sean
Speaker 3: McVeigh goes away from that performance last week. From the
Speaker 3: rushing offense. I mean, look, you have Kyra Went having
Speaker 3: a season low in his snapch but he still was
Speaker 3: crazy efficient with his fifteen carries and he ended up
Speaker 3: finding the end zone. Then you have Blake cor with
Speaker 3: his season high and touches, and then you end up
Speaker 3: when you mix all this together, you get the Rams'
Speaker 3: best rushing performance since last season of Week fifteen. So
Speaker 3: you gotta look at this matchup with the Buffalo Bills.
Speaker 3: What a better matchup to go against the Bills. You know, sorry,
Speaker 3: ear must Florio that they're a middle.
Speaker 4: We're gonna just destroy you guys.
Speaker 1: So you could say whatever you want.
Speaker 3: I'm just saying the run defense is not that strong,
Speaker 3: it's not that great. Like I feel like, why not
Speaker 3: display like a kind of Jamier Gibbs and David Montgomery split.
Speaker 1: Look, look, I don't like to talk, but you've been
Speaker 1: talking to the forty nine ers a lot. I feel
Speaker 1: like we're gonna wear rivals this week.
Speaker 3: Now we are, and listen, Florio, you're my dude. But
Speaker 3: I really feel though the Rams are dangerous again, look
Speaker 3: at me, They're dangerous again.
Speaker 1: I believe that I'm sold.
Speaker 4: I think I picked the Rams in the division this year.
Speaker 3: See seek friend, that's a friend.
Speaker 1: Marcussion what it's.
Speaker 2: It's not even about a rivalrything. I just didn't believe
Speaker 2: I thought they were good. I don't think they were
Speaker 2: good at the win the division. That's all anyway.
Speaker 1: Rams.
Speaker 2: Here's the Rams are dangerous. They could they could throw
Speaker 2: a knockout punch. They could miss and then hit themselves
Speaker 2: in the jaw. Like both of those things are within
Speaker 2: the realm of possibility.
Speaker 1: For time to talk about some sleepers for the week, LQ,
Speaker 1: who you got.
Speaker 3: Listen, I'm praying that you know, I just want to
Speaker 3: take notice to something that we might have friends of
Speaker 3: the show, like, I'm hoping that you know when Sean
Speaker 3: McVay listened to the show. That's why we got Blake
Speaker 3: Horn last week because I called the breakout. You have
Speaker 3: Mike McDaniel who's trolling us each week with John new
Speaker 3: Smith and getting my hair closer and closer to the
Speaker 3: blonde you Smith last year, even trolling us with John
Speaker 3: new getting in on it as much as we wanted
Speaker 3: Kyle Pitts to break out. So honestly, I'm hoping that
Speaker 3: Todd Bowles and Liam Cole, they are listen to the show,
Speaker 3: get cade Odd in the ball, open up his routrey,
Speaker 3: get him on those hitch routes again, not just majority
Speaker 3: in the flat. Get him out there, get him vertical,
Speaker 3: and get him the fantasy points in the layup matchup
Speaker 3: against the Raiders who are allowing the third most fantasy
Speaker 3: points per game to the tight end. So please, if
Speaker 3: you're listening, get him the ball. I need this so bad,
Speaker 3: like I really do.
Speaker 2: I just know that John new Smith does not have
Speaker 2: your best interests at heart. No, he does not, even
Speaker 2: you don't even know you, and he like you don't
Speaker 2: hate your guns. He's he's like going to player hand,
Speaker 2: I don't even know you want to hate your guts.
Speaker 1: Like that's that's John news Smith right now for you, LaQuan.
Speaker 4: Just to let you know, like the blonde hair stuff
Speaker 4: is spreading throughout the building, and more and more people
Speaker 4: are rooting.
Speaker 1: For Johnny Smith. Now it's just everyone wants to see it.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 4: I went with a sleeper for this one, and Aidan
Speaker 4: O'Connell AOC as I like to call him, because one
Speaker 4: three hundred and forty passing yards and two touchdowns last
Speaker 4: week should not be ignored.
Speaker 1: Gardner. She had one game within.
Speaker 4: Sixty passing yards of that and has thrown multiple passing
Speaker 4: touchdowns twice. So AOC like looks like a big upgrade
Speaker 4: right now over him. Plus it's the Bucks. They allowed
Speaker 4: a career high in fantasy points to Bryce Young last week,
Speaker 4: and they've allowed a top eight fantasy quarterback in five
Speaker 4: of their last six games, the one exception being Tommy
Speaker 4: Cutlets and the New York Giants. So yeah, I am
Speaker 4: starting AOC in a lot more leagues than I want
Speaker 4: to admit as my Jaden replacement, as my Lamar replacement,
Speaker 4: as other options like Anthony Richardson, et cetera.
Speaker 1: AOC, you're up.
Speaker 2: That's funny too, because I feel like you know the fantasy,
Speaker 2: The social media sphere of fantasy has really sort of
Speaker 2: coalesced around Aidan O'Connell this week, because I mean, he
Speaker 2: played well last week against the Chiefs.
Speaker 1: He's got a great matchup.
Speaker 2: We've been picking on the Bucks defense all season long,
Speaker 2: so everybody's kind of like, hey man, this could be
Speaker 2: a thing.
Speaker 1: And you know what.
Speaker 2: Happens when too many of us decide that something can
Speaker 2: be a thing.
Speaker 1: Too many people on the boat, it's going down.
Speaker 2: I mean, really, aside from like Derrick Henry this year, like,
Speaker 2: how many times has it actually worked out in our favor?
Speaker 2: Like not very often? Right, Like Derek Henry is very
Speaker 2: much the exception to the rule there for me, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna know with DeAndre Swift, I'm going kind of more
Speaker 2: with a sleeper re vibe here. And I know the
Speaker 2: last two weeks have not been particularly good for DeAndre
Speaker 2: Swift in fantasy, but in his defense, he's also had
Speaker 2: two of the toughest possible matchups. He had the Vikings
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, he had the Lions last week. Those
Speaker 2: are two of the toughest defenses for a running back
Speaker 2: to face. The forty nine ers right now, this version
Speaker 2: of him very much. Not that they have tackled poorly,
Speaker 2: they have injuries all over the place. I mean, even
Speaker 2: their best defensive player in Fred Warner admitted that he's
Speaker 2: been playing on a fractured ankle for the last several weeks,
Speaker 2: so certainly not the player that he once was. We'll see,
Speaker 2: you know what the status of Nick Bosa is. He
Speaker 2: has been playing herd has had to miss some time.
Speaker 2: So I mean, really, the Niners very much vulnerable right now.
Speaker 2: I think this bow's well pretty much for the Bears
Speaker 2: offense in general, but I think especially for DeAndre Swift
Speaker 2: if they want to try and lead with the run
Speaker 2: game this week. The only concern is Rashaun Johnson getting
Speaker 2: a lot of those goal line carries. But you know,
Speaker 2: if DeAndre decides he wants to pop one from twenty
Speaker 2: yards out and find his way into the en zone,
Speaker 2: could be a very good week for him and for
Speaker 2: the Bears offense as a whole in a game that look,
Speaker 2: I think the Niners win, but you know, I'm not
Speaker 2: super confident on it the way things have been going
Speaker 2: with this team so far last year. I guess the
Speaker 2: good news is Kyle Shanahan says Christian McCaffrey could come
Speaker 2: back if the Niners make the playoffs. If this is
Speaker 2: doing a lot of heavy lifting in that sentence right there.
Speaker 1: For Kyle Shanahan this season.
Speaker 2: Quiet I was just so we are going to a break,
Speaker 2: because it's time to take a break. So we're gonna
Speaker 2: come back in a little bit. We're gonna do some
Speaker 2: hot starts. We're gonna do some more games on the
Speaker 2: Week fourteen slate, and the Kwan is going to hold
Speaker 2: his thoughts about the forty nine ers offense that is
Speaker 2: next on the NFL Fantasy Football Show, It's time to
Speaker 2: see who will deliver, presented by Uber Eats. Who's your
Speaker 2: hot start for this week?
Speaker 3: Hel Q Sam donald Man going against this Falcons defense.
Speaker 3: This is obviously a juicy matchup for him and Justin Jefferson.
Speaker 3: So if you got them as stacks, they're going to
Speaker 3: go big today. This gets the Darryl Strawberry stamp of approval.
Speaker 3: This is going to be out of here going against
Speaker 3: his Falcons defense because they've been allowing a ton of
Speaker 3: passing touchdowns in a couple of weeks. And guess what,
Speaker 3: Sam Darnold's on the heater right now. Two touchdowns and
Speaker 3: a bunch of consecutive games with one hundred plus passer rating.
Speaker 3: So he's finding the end zone and he's making them
Speaker 3: right decisions with the ball and not turning it over.
Speaker 3: So this is going to be a smash matchup this
Speaker 3: week for him.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 2: They were my top stack Donald and Justin Jefferson on
Speaker 2: Fantasy Live earlier in this week, so yeah, I'm definitely
Speaker 2: on board with that whole IDEA.
Speaker 1: Floyer, your hot start for the week is also unhinged.
Speaker 1: It's just wild. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The theme of Week fourteen for me personally is starting
Speaker 4: acronyms that you normally would never want to put into
Speaker 4: your starting lineup because MVS is not just.
Speaker 1: A sleeper or something for me.
Speaker 4: I wrote about him as a start in start Sidham
Speaker 4: because he has been highly productive as of late.
Speaker 1: He is the new Rashiet Shaheed here, so.
Speaker 4: There's gonna be a lot of deep balls going his way.
Speaker 4: And then the Giants are the best matchup for downfield receivers.
Speaker 4: They really have struggled against the deep ball. Nearly three
Speaker 4: quarters of the deep pass attempts against him have been completed.
Speaker 4: It is an insane rate, by far the highest in
Speaker 4: the league. So yeah, boom or bust. But in a
Speaker 4: week like this, this is the week to get players
Speaker 4: like MVS into your lineup.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, we talked about the fact that there's
Speaker 2: not a lot of options there in New Orleans. We
Speaker 2: know Alvin Kamara is going to get his touches. Beyond
Speaker 2: that really up for grabs as who gets a lot
Speaker 2: of the other opportunities there with Taysom Hill gone for
Speaker 2: the remainder of the season. By the way, I talked
Speaker 2: to our pal Matto Kata, who's maybe the biggest mattle
Speaker 2: of Taylor Hill into Kada fans Mattlekada him. Manicada loves Mattokada.
Speaker 2: He's the biggest Taysom Hill stand in the building. He's
Speaker 2: very much in mourning that his fantasy prince has gone
Speaker 2: for the remainder of the season.
Speaker 1: So, you know, pour one out for Saysom Hill.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with Brock Bowers as the guy who's
Speaker 2: going to go big this week, and sort of, like
Speaker 2: you know, La Kwan was teasing his big hot take
Speaker 2: earlier in the show, I got a hot take around
Speaker 2: Brock Bauers as well. But the thing that we love
Speaker 2: about him is that it hasn't mattered who's a quarterback.
Speaker 2: He's getting plenty of opportunities. He has been really the
Speaker 2: focal point of the Raider passing game all year long.
Speaker 1: And this is after a lot of us, by a.
Speaker 2: Lot of us, I mean me being really concerned that
Speaker 2: he was on a team where they already spent a
Speaker 2: high draft pick on another tight end in Michael Mayer.
Speaker 2: Mayer has been persona on Grada in this offense, and
Speaker 2: brock Bawers has eaten each and every week. Great matchup
Speaker 2: against Tampa Bay, I expect nothing but fantastic performance out
Speaker 2: of brock Bowers.
Speaker 1: This week.
Speaker 2: That was Who Will Deliver presented by Uber Eats, where
Speaker 2: you can get the best deals on game day food
Speaker 2: all season long, the official on demand delivery partner of
Speaker 2: the NFL Order. Now, all right, let's get back to
Speaker 2: our Week fourteen game previews. Big one in the NFC
Speaker 2: West between the Seahawks and the Cardinals Florio. Last week
Speaker 2: we got seventeen points out of Marvin Harrison Junior, one
Speaker 2: of his best performances of the year, but it has
Speaker 2: been otherwise a disappointing season. So this week against Seattle
Speaker 2: MHJ Startimore. Nah, I mean probably.
Speaker 4: Like I don't feel great about him or the matchup,
Speaker 4: but with so many teams on by, like, what are
Speaker 4: you gonna do?
Speaker 1: You? I mean, start mvs over him. Maybe you could
Speaker 1: go that route if you want to.
Speaker 4: He was held to just forty seven yards in less
Speaker 4: than eight fantasy points against the Seahawks a couple weeks ago,
Speaker 4: but his game is in Arizona again. Not a player
Speaker 4: I love this week, but because of circumstances one that
Speaker 4: you probably still start.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, it's just hard to get really excited
Speaker 2: because it just hasn't been what we wanted it to be.
Speaker 1: And for all the toograph, we got to really get
Speaker 1: him going.
Speaker 2: I mean, he had three targets at half and it
Speaker 2: sort of came together a little bit in the second half.
Speaker 2: The touchdown went a long way. We're making it a
Speaker 2: decent game, but it just has been so inconsistent. It's
Speaker 2: hard to get really excited about him. But you might
Speaker 2: be in a position where you kind of have to
Speaker 2: do it because of so many teams being on a
Speaker 2: buy This week Sunday Night Football the Chargers at the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: Lak Ladd McConkie's been great all year long, but he
Speaker 2: is a little bit beat up right now. We'll see
Speaker 2: if he's available, but certainly at this point his availability
Speaker 2: very much in doubt.
Speaker 1: Is Justin Herbert startable.
Speaker 2: If we're talking about him throwing to Quentin Johnston and
Speaker 2: Josh Palmers's primary receivers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's real nasty work.
Speaker 3: I'm probably going Will Levis. I'll start this week Russell Wilson,
Speaker 3: Bryce Young because I just cannot trust the Chargers offense
Speaker 3: without you know, Lad McConkie being the security blanket there,
Speaker 3: the go to the wide receiver, the one the most
Speaker 3: biggest threat to any of those defenses. And then we'll
Speaker 3: dis he has the match up against the Chiefs, but
Speaker 3: they're probably going to keep him in check. He's not
Speaker 3: as big as a threat, and his time like kind
Speaker 3: of ran down. Like we're kind of seeing what Will
Speaker 3: Disley kind of was in Seattle as well those high games.
Speaker 3: I'm not really seeing it in this matchup as well.
Speaker 3: And then that run game, it's nothing without JK. Dobbins.
Speaker 3: He was responsible for sixty percent of their rushing yards
Speaker 3: and now he's gone, and it just doesn't feel like
Speaker 3: it's a good option this week with Justin Herbert.
Speaker 2: I know there are people out there who kind of
Speaker 2: sort of talked about jinga pieces for an offense basically
Speaker 2: the biggest non quarterback pieces of an offense that you
Speaker 2: can take out, and the whole thing maybe falls apart.
Speaker 2: And certainly I think losing JK. Dobbins and Lad McConkie
Speaker 2: qualify as such. For the Chargers, you.
Speaker 1: Just have to throw so much. Though in this one,
Speaker 1: I think.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I mean, you know, Quinton Johnson has had
Speaker 2: skwits for hands.
Speaker 1: The last couple, Palmer becomes I think Johnson stays the two.
Speaker 1: Palmer becomes the one. Yeah, I don't know, might play.
Speaker 1: He might play.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's keep our fingers cross hold mc
Speaker 2: conkey plays. That's the best case scenario I think for everybody.
Speaker 2: Monday Night Football, Bengals at the Cowboys. The Bengals defense
Speaker 2: has been bad. I mean they have been carved up.
Speaker 2: We saw Russ do it last week. So I'm gonna
Speaker 2: ask you a question, Mike Florio, in a week with
Speaker 2: a lot of unhinged starts, would you stream Cooper Rush?
Speaker 1: Yes? If oh, if oh.
Speaker 4: I missed out on AOC and I missed out on
Speaker 4: Will Levis.
Speaker 1: To me, I think these are a hell of a
Speaker 1: sentence you just said to me.
Speaker 4: I think like these are three of the top streaming
Speaker 4: options this week. I I know, Lawan, you're big on
Speaker 4: Bryce Young, but I don't love the matchup at all
Speaker 4: against the Eagles, So I would rather stream these three
Speaker 4: options Jameis Winston had put in the bunch. To me,
Speaker 4: those are the big four streaming options that are available
Speaker 4: off waivers this week.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, Cooper.
Speaker 4: Rush hasn't shown to have a high ceiling, but the
Speaker 4: Bengals are going to put up points. We know that
Speaker 4: their quarterback has a batmobile, and then when he puts
Speaker 4: up plenty of points, it's gonna lead to Cooper Rush
Speaker 4: and them having to throw more. And it's a good matchup.
Speaker 4: So yeah, again Week fourteen to fourteen, six teams on
Speaker 4: by you gonna have to do some weird things.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think that's kind of the best
Speaker 2: argument for it. Understanding the ceiling for Cooper Rush still
Speaker 2: pretty low, but volume kind of going to be king
Speaker 2: there for him, and the opportunity to throw a lot
Speaker 2: means potentially some more volumes, more opportunity for some fantasy
Speaker 2: We have.
Speaker 1: More Week fourteen previews.
Speaker 2: You can check them out on NFL Plus on Fantasy Extra,
Speaker 2: So be sure do go over and see those who
Speaker 2: get the remainder of the games on the.
Speaker 1: Week fourteen Slave.
Speaker 2: But now it's time to drive your line up presented
Speaker 2: by the all new hybrid Toyota Camry.
Speaker 1: While you were teasing.
Speaker 2: That you had a hot take about Bryce Young, time
Speaker 2: to put that bleep on everything.
Speaker 1: What's your hot take? Listen?
Speaker 3: Bryce Young, top ten fantasy quarterback against the Eagles putting
Speaker 3: up twenty plus voids, and it goes back to my
Speaker 3: point of them having a top ten Panthers O line,
Speaker 3: Like you have to give them credit as for PFF,
Speaker 3: they're graded very high in pass protection. So you have
Speaker 3: guys like Baker Mayfield that put up twenty eight early
Speaker 3: in the season. We have Trevor Lawrence. I found the
Speaker 3: end zone twice with his feet, but he still managed
Speaker 3: nineteen fantasy points. And you had Jordan Love who was
Speaker 3: chilling in the pocket as well. All strength in the
Speaker 3: O line there and Bryce Young falls in that category
Speaker 3: and having the patients be able to carve up this
Speaker 3: Eagles defense.
Speaker 2: All right, So Bryce Young, we are all in on
Speaker 2: him this week, Florida, what is your hot take?
Speaker 4: Trey McBride makes history. He last week he became the
Speaker 4: first tight end in NFL history to have consecutive games
Speaker 4: with twelve or more catches in it. No player has
Speaker 4: ever done it three times in a row until Tray
Speaker 4: McBride does it this week, and it becomes the first
Speaker 4: player in NFL history to do so, because he is
Speaker 4: their passing attack right now, and he just went out
Speaker 4: and ate And one of these two games where he
Speaker 4: did it against was against the Seattle Seahawks in Seattle.
Speaker 4: So Trey McBride fantasy playoff is schedule is amazing as well.
Speaker 1: It is finally.
Speaker 4: Look, he's been awesome all year, but the last month
Speaker 4: we are really starting to get some of these big
Speaker 4: blow up games, and I think it continues. My only
Speaker 4: wish for the Arizona Cardinals is maybe start throwing him
Speaker 4: the ball when you get in the red zone and
Speaker 4: in like near the goal line, because that's the only
Speaker 4: thing he's not doing right now is scoring touchdown.
Speaker 2: I canna say the real hot take is he scores
Speaker 2: a touchdown yes week.
Speaker 1: Say it is wild, dude.
Speaker 2: He's got seventy three catches for seven hundred and eighty
Speaker 2: one yards and the same number of touchdowns as all
Speaker 2: three of us combined his dad is.
Speaker 4: The only touchdown this year was a fumble recovery one.
Speaker 2: Yep, that's it, Like what wow? That's why speaking of
Speaker 2: tight ends going big. My hot take about brock Bowers.
Speaker 2: He will be the number one overall score in Week
Speaker 2: fourteen because AOC is gonna feed him repeatedly. The Buccaneers
Speaker 2: have been just a gold mine for fantasy production for
Speaker 2: pass catchers and quarterbacks. Brock Bowers has been red hot
Speaker 2: all season long. I expect double digit targets in this one.
Speaker 2: The Raiders are gonna have to keep throwing to keep
Speaker 2: up with that Tampa Bay offense. Brock Bower is gonna
Speaker 2: get a whole lot of opportunity, and I think he's
Speaker 2: gonna go big. I think he is the top score
Speaker 2: in Fantasy four of the week. So if you have
Speaker 2: him and you need a win to get to the playoffs, congratulations.
Speaker 2: We will see you again in Week fifteen because brock
Speaker 2: Bauers helped.
Speaker 1: Get you there for sure.
