1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Monday, December eleventh, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me Your Man, MG,

3
00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: Marcus Grant joined by Michael f Florio. Coming up on

4
00:00:21,360 --> 00:00:23,439
Speaker 1: the show today, We've got the latest news from a

5
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,520
Speaker 1: week full of injuries. What to do if you lost CJ.

6
00:00:26,680 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: Stroud or Justin Jefferson, We'll let you know. Plus we're

7
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:32,160
Speaker 1: also breaking down some of the top performers and biggest

8
00:00:32,159 --> 00:00:37,400
Speaker 1: disappointments of the week. We are mostly through Week fourteen.

9
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 1: We have two Monday night games this week, two of

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,560
Speaker 1: them at the exact same time. That's weird. This was

11
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:47,800
Speaker 1: not a fun week, man. Like, it's already been a

12
00:00:48,080 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 1: bad season in terms of injuries, and then we lose.

13
00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: I mean, we'll get to it a little bit. Man,

14
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 1: It's it's bad out there right now.

15
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is rough. I keep saying, like, enjoy it

16
00:00:57,600 --> 00:00:59,400
Speaker 2: while we have it, because there's only three more weeks

17
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 2: of this left for fantasy football. But it is certainly

18
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,240
Speaker 2: going to be harder to navigate and to figure out

19
00:01:05,280 --> 00:01:07,760
Speaker 2: because of all the injuries and all of that. But

20
00:01:08,760 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 2: if you're in the playoffs, you got a chance this

21
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: year because every team is dealing with injuries.

22
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:16,560
Speaker 1: Every single team is dealing with injuries, especially at the

23
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: quarterback position. It is brutal out there. We've gotten through

24
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 1: all the bys, that's the good news. So every team's

25
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: roster is available to you, even if not all their

26
00:01:25,640 --> 00:01:29,240
Speaker 1: players are available to you. Let's get started, though, as

27
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,400
Speaker 1: we normally do, with some fantasy headlines and things looking

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,640
Speaker 1: bleak in Houston.

29
00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:34,200
Speaker 3: CJ.

30
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:38,240
Speaker 1: Stroud left the game with a concussion. Nico Collins left

31
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: early in the game on Sunday with a calf injury.

32
00:01:41,680 --> 00:01:43,399
Speaker 1: Now this is on top of the fact that Tank

33
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 1: Dell is already out for the season with a broken fibula.

34
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: It looks like it may be Davis Mills starting at quarterback.

35
00:01:53,320 --> 00:01:56,240
Speaker 1: Does this mean it's over for Houston's offense in fantasy

36
00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: this year.

37
00:01:57,240 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 2: For as long as CJ. Stroud is sidelined. Yes, But

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 2: I guess the good news, if quote unquote good news,

39
00:02:04,680 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 2: is that it is a concussion, so hopefully in a

40
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:10,800
Speaker 2: week I wouldn't even rule out him potentially suiting up

41
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 2: next week. We've seen players come back fast. It's gonna

42
00:02:14,200 --> 00:02:17,800
Speaker 2: be a monitor all week long situation. But if and

43
00:02:17,840 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 2: when CJ. Stroud returns even if Nico Collins is out,

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:24,440
Speaker 2: I think like Noah Brown becomes a streaming option. Dalton

45
00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:28,480
Speaker 2: Schultz is obviously in play when he's healthy, so it's

46
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 2: over as long as he is sidelined, But when he

47
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: comes back, they're back.

48
00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: I So when I first saw this yesterday, I was like,

49
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,120
Speaker 1: it's over. I was super pessimistic. I'm like, it's a rap.

50
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: Then I started to think, well, okay, we're not gonna

51
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:43,400
Speaker 1: start Davis Mills, right, we don't even have to have

52
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,120
Speaker 1: that conversation. But Davis Mills is gonna stand back there

53
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:49,400
Speaker 1: and sling the rock. Yeah, so maybe Noah Brown does

54
00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:52,040
Speaker 1: still have some opportunity. A healthy Dalton Schultz, maybe he

55
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 1: still has some opportunity. Like Davis Mills is probably gonna

56
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,639
Speaker 1: you know, he'll be a little scattershot and he might

57
00:02:56,639 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: throw some to the other team. But I think he

58
00:02:58,639 --> 00:03:00,519
Speaker 1: will throw the ball a lot because they still can't

59
00:03:00,600 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: run it all that well. So maybe it's not completely over,

60
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:07,760
Speaker 1: but certainly losing Nico Collins, hopefully it's not too serious,

61
00:03:07,800 --> 00:03:11,200
Speaker 1: we'll see, and not having tanked out, it's a big

62
00:03:11,240 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 1: blow to an offense that really was carrying. I think

63
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:15,919
Speaker 1: a lot of fantasy teams.

64
00:03:15,800 --> 00:03:20,320
Speaker 2: And so let's say he's back for the fantasy semi

65
00:03:20,320 --> 00:03:23,480
Speaker 2: finals and you make it there. The Texans played the

66
00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:26,320
Speaker 2: Browns in Week sixteen, and they the Browns and the

67
00:03:26,400 --> 00:03:29,440
Speaker 2: Jets are the two secondaries allowing the fewest passing guards

68
00:03:29,440 --> 00:03:32,040
Speaker 2: this year as poorly because look, he got hurt late

69
00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 2: in that game. He struggled against the Jets defense. I

70
00:03:35,560 --> 00:03:37,440
Speaker 2: know we'll talk about it in two weeks, but like

71
00:03:37,840 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 2: right now, I think it's okay to get a contingency

72
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 2: plan for that week, even if you have CJ.

73
00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:42,440
Speaker 3: Stroud.

74
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's probably a good thing at this point. Hopefully

75
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,360
Speaker 1: this is a short term issue for both him and Collins.

76
00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,080
Speaker 1: We'll see, but just to go from being so awesome

77
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: to just losing everybody that was getting it done for

78
00:03:55,280 --> 00:04:00,120
Speaker 1: you is disappointing. Justin Jefferson grand opening, grand closing. He

79
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: comes back after missing several weeks with a hamstring injury,

80
00:04:04,200 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: and he was not out there very long before he

81
00:04:06,160 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: took a wicked shot and had to leave the game

82
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 1: with a chest injury. Now he went to the hospital,

83
00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:14,120
Speaker 1: was released, was able to fly home from Vegas to

84
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,680
Speaker 1: Minnesota with the team and head coach Kevin O'Connell is

85
00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:20,960
Speaker 1: trying to be optimistic that we have very little information

86
00:04:21,120 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: about this right now, but it's a short week for

87
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:27,520
Speaker 1: the Vikings. They play on Saturday, so it may not

88
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,480
Speaker 1: be possible for Jefferson to get ready. And then at

89
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:32,840
Speaker 1: that point, I mean, what do they do with him?

90
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, he's already been out. They're still sort of

91
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:38,000
Speaker 1: hanging around playoff contention. What are we doing with.

92
00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:38,839
Speaker 3: Him right now?

93
00:04:39,839 --> 00:04:42,360
Speaker 2: I think you have to just hold him unless we

94
00:04:42,440 --> 00:04:45,240
Speaker 2: hear that he's going on IR or something like that,

95
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:48,360
Speaker 2: and that would end his fantasy season because there's only

96
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,279
Speaker 2: three games left IR as a minimum of four. But

97
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:55,520
Speaker 2: if there's a chance that Justin Jefferson can come back

98
00:04:55,560 --> 00:04:58,719
Speaker 2: in the fantasy playoffs, he is so good that I

99
00:04:58,760 --> 00:05:01,400
Speaker 2: think you have to hold hi him. And I think

100
00:05:01,800 --> 00:05:04,279
Speaker 2: that there is a strong chance of that because as

101
00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:07,680
Speaker 2: of right now, the Vikings are this sixth seed in

102
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,640
Speaker 2: the NFC, and depending whether the Packers loser or not

103
00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:13,760
Speaker 2: on Monday Night Football, they are going to be a

104
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,760
Speaker 2: top seven seeds. So they're very much so in the

105
00:05:16,800 --> 00:05:19,280
Speaker 2: thick of things for a playoff spot. I think that

106
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:23,240
Speaker 2: alone might lead them to kind of not put him

107
00:05:23,240 --> 00:05:25,120
Speaker 2: on IR just in case he could come back.

108
00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,880
Speaker 1: It was interesting because six weeks ago, right, Jefferson gets hurt.

109
00:05:29,920 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: Then Kirk Cousins goes down, and we were sort of saying, well,

110
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,839
Speaker 1: did the Vikings even bring him back? And they were

111
00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 1: sort of fading out of out of contention. We thought

112
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: maybe they would just shut him down. Then Josh Doabbs

113
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: shows up, they win a few games, They're still kind

114
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,360
Speaker 1: of hanging around on this, and Jefferson comes back.

115
00:05:45,400 --> 00:05:46,240
Speaker 3: Now he's hurt again.

116
00:05:47,520 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 1: Look, if you've made it to this point in the season,

117
00:05:50,080 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: you've figured out how to work around him. The difference

118
00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,000
Speaker 1: being before he was on IR, so if you had

119
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 1: an IR spot on your roster, you could use that

120
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,680
Speaker 1: and free up something. Now you may just have to

121
00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,520
Speaker 1: take up spot on your bench, at least until we

122
00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,359
Speaker 1: get some more clarification about his situation. Pose sort of

123
00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,880
Speaker 1: where we currently are justin Herbert suffers a thumb injury

124
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,920
Speaker 1: on Monday. Head coach Brandon Staley said Herbert will be

125
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:15,480
Speaker 1: seeing a few hand specialists. Don't have any further update

126
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,680
Speaker 1: on his status. The Chargers play on Thursday Night Football,

127
00:06:18,680 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: and as of now, it looks like it's going to

128
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:23,720
Speaker 1: be a marquee matchup of Easton Stick and Aidan O'Connell.

129
00:06:24,200 --> 00:06:26,960
Speaker 2: Hey, get excited, get fired up.

130
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 1: I'm sure Bezos is thrilled that he's paying money for this.

131
00:06:31,080 --> 00:06:33,360
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen, We're still starting Keenan Allen because he is

132
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen. Can we trust anybody else in the passing

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:39,880
Speaker 1: game after that? I'm gonna say Austin Eckler because he's

134
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Speaker 1: an extension of the passing game a little bit. We'll

135
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:46,120
Speaker 1: talk more about him a little bit. I still think

136
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: I have to go through and see how the Eastern

137
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 1: Stick targets were distributed. But I still think Gerald Everett

138
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:56,600
Speaker 1: is in play as a streaming tight end. He had

139
00:06:56,640 --> 00:07:00,719
Speaker 1: eight targets yesterday, gave you nine fantasy points, which for

140
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,919
Speaker 1: tight end is a pretty safe outing, and they have

141
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:07,000
Speaker 1: a favorable schedule moving forward. I don't want to do

142
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 1: the Quinton Johnson thing just yet, but I think we

143
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: have to also point out that the last two weeks

144
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: he has looked better in his top double digit fantasy

145
00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: points in each Yes, I think I've noticed that they

146
00:07:17,640 --> 00:07:20,400
Speaker 1: really are manufacturing ways to get him the football because

147
00:07:20,440 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 1: he was struggling to get open and earn targets. So

148
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,760
Speaker 1: now there's gonna run you know, tunnel screens with him.

149
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:26,560
Speaker 1: There's gonna find ways to get the football in his

150
00:07:26,640 --> 00:07:29,600
Speaker 1: hands and let him be athletic. He's good after the catch,

151
00:07:29,880 --> 00:07:32,240
Speaker 1: it's the catching part that has been a problem for him.

152
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: So he's definitely in play. I mean, obviously the ceiling

153
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,560
Speaker 1: is lower with Easton stick at quarterback. I would say that,

154
00:07:39,760 --> 00:07:41,960
Speaker 1: you know, because it's on a Thursday night, especially like

155
00:07:42,000 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: if you can avoid Quintin Johnson, if you can avoid

156
00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:50,040
Speaker 1: Gerald Evertt, maybe you do that. Alan Eckler still very

157
00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: much in play, even though the quarterback situation is a problem.

158
00:07:54,200 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: So those are some of the things we are finding

159
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,200
Speaker 1: out and we're trying to learn more about. But meanwhile,

160
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: we have a few things that we did learn a

161
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: week fourteen. What is something that you took away from

162
00:08:02,360 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: what you saw?

163
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,600
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup is still Cooper Cup and he is starting

164
00:08:06,640 --> 00:08:09,760
Speaker 2: to look like Cooper Cup once again. Healthy. That's what

165
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:14,080
Speaker 2: we need. He clearly was not healthy for a stretch

166
00:08:14,160 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 2: after we thought he might miss multiple games, and he

167
00:08:17,040 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 2: didn't miss any time, but it clearly was showing up

168
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,000
Speaker 2: on the box score with the results we were getting

169
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 2: out of him. Team high ten targets this past week,

170
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,960
Speaker 2: eight catches, one hundred and fifteen yards and a touchdown.

171
00:08:27,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: Before that touchdown catch, he just missed one as well

172
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,920
Speaker 2: on a long play. Look, Pooka Nakua is on pace

173
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,679
Speaker 2: to literally tie Jamar Chase's rookie record. He has he's

174
00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:41,000
Speaker 2: fourth most through this many games in someone's career. They

175
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 2: are both absolute must start moving forward. And I know

176
00:08:44,600 --> 00:08:46,120
Speaker 2: a lot of you for weeks now, I have been like,

177
00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 2: what do I do with Cooper Cup? What do I

178
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,200
Speaker 2: do with Pooka Nakoua? The Rams passing attack is playing

179
00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 2: their best football of the season right now. You starting

180
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: with confidence, You start.

181
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,440
Speaker 1: Those guys I mean, and basically the passing game funnels

182
00:08:56,520 --> 00:09:02,640
Speaker 1: through them almost exclusively, especially to two at Well getting

183
00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: injured and you'll see what the situation is with him.

184
00:09:04,720 --> 00:09:07,360
Speaker 1: He suffered a concussion last week. But it's pretty much

185
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,280
Speaker 1: the Nikua and Cup show. The fact that Cooper Cup

186
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:13,840
Speaker 1: bounced back into that string of six straight games with

187
00:09:13,920 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: less than fifty yards is definitely encouraging for me. You

188
00:09:18,120 --> 00:09:20,000
Speaker 1: can still count on the Jets, at least the Jets

189
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,680
Speaker 1: that you were already counting on, right any fears we've

190
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,040
Speaker 1: got about Breecee Hall and Garrett Wilson because of the

191
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:28,720
Speaker 1: rotating door at quarterback and Zach Wilson coming back, I

192
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:30,600
Speaker 1: think you can sort of put those to bed, especially

193
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: after what we saw on Sunday against the Texans. Both

194
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480
Speaker 1: guys went over one hundred scrimmage yards. Breis Hall had

195
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: the touchdown on a catch there. It just is sort

196
00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: of encouraging to know that. Look for as bad as

197
00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: things are with this offense and coming into week fourteen,

198
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,800
Speaker 1: they had the third fewest points scored in the NFL

199
00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: before they dropped thirty shockingly on the Texans, but we

200
00:09:53,320 --> 00:09:55,160
Speaker 1: can still sort of believe in them. So I think

201
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: at this point we can stop trying to figure out like,

202
00:09:57,040 --> 00:09:59,199
Speaker 1: oh no, what's it gonna mean that haves Zach Wilson

203
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,199
Speaker 1: there or even timb Those two guys are the ones

204
00:10:02,240 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 1: getting the football, so we can just sort of let

205
00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:04,280
Speaker 1: this be.

206
00:10:04,440 --> 00:10:05,560
Speaker 3: We can ride out with them.

207
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,040
Speaker 2: I want to give credit to Zach Wilson, like he

208
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 2: did say after the game, like I went out there

209
00:10:10,280 --> 00:10:12,200
Speaker 2: and I just played my game. I'm not letting the

210
00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,679
Speaker 2: coaches talk again in my ear anymore. And he played

211
00:10:14,720 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 2: his arguably the best game as a pro that he

212
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:17,680
Speaker 2: has played.

213
00:10:17,679 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: So basically, he's just like fitt I'm just gonna do

214
00:10:19,600 --> 00:10:20,720
Speaker 1: my thing like which.

215
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:21,520
Speaker 3: Props to him.

216
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,120
Speaker 1: I love that approach drops to him because obviously the

217
00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:26,600
Speaker 1: other thing wasn't working. You do what makes you comfortable, Zach.

218
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: What else did you learn about this weekend?

219
00:10:29,400 --> 00:10:31,920
Speaker 2: Then I think you could start Isaiah Likely in the

220
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,320
Speaker 2: fantasy playoffs. And he is someone that we have been

221
00:10:34,400 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: highlighting on this show and in other places about grabbing

222
00:10:38,800 --> 00:10:40,960
Speaker 2: up through waiver wire and streaming and all that. And

223
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,240
Speaker 2: we've now seen two games for Likely without Mark Andrews

224
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 2: six targets, eight fantasy points in the first one, and

225
00:10:48,320 --> 00:10:52,040
Speaker 2: then yesterday he gave you seven targets, five catches, eighty

226
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:55,319
Speaker 2: three yards and a touchdown for almost twenty fantasy points.

227
00:10:55,360 --> 00:10:57,080
Speaker 2: I think we have now seen the floor. We have

228
00:10:57,160 --> 00:10:59,800
Speaker 2: now seen the ceiling. I would expect most weeks to

229
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:02,680
Speaker 2: be somewhere in the middle of eight and twenty fantasy points,

230
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,679
Speaker 2: but he now is showing us he is at a floor.

231
00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:07,800
Speaker 2: A high ceiling. That's all we could ask for for

232
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 2: a fantasy tight end, So especially one tied to one

233
00:11:10,640 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 2: of the best offenses in football, you want to start

234
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 2: that player.

235
00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, look he I think somebody posted that

236
00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:19,680
Speaker 1: basically Isaiah likely is like ninety percent Mark Andrews right,

237
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:22,120
Speaker 1: which that's pretty dang good man when you look at

238
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:22,960
Speaker 1: the tight end position.

239
00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:25,679
Speaker 3: So he is worth starting. I think pretty much every week.

240
00:11:26,120 --> 00:11:29,000
Speaker 1: My last one, the pasture not has crashed and the

241
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,880
Speaker 1: Vikings offense is burning. It has not been a good

242
00:11:31,960 --> 00:11:35,319
Speaker 1: run for Josh Dobbs over the last few weeks. He

243
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:36,959
Speaker 1: went through a stretch where he went three weeks with

244
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:39,200
Speaker 1: twenty more than twenty points, was averaging about twenty two

245
00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:41,680
Speaker 1: points or so a game. The last three games he

246
00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: has played, that average has dropped to eight point seven

247
00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: points per game.

248
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:46,319
Speaker 3: He's got two.

249
00:11:46,200 --> 00:11:49,720
Speaker 1: Touchdown passes five interceptions over his last three games, three

250
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: straight with fewer than two hundred and twenty five yards.

251
00:11:52,120 --> 00:11:54,959
Speaker 1: Some of it's not his fault. The Vikings are having

252
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,640
Speaker 1: issues with drops, that is a problem. But some of

253
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: it is just that he has not been accurate, is

254
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,319
Speaker 1: just not really adjusted to the Minnesota offense the way

255
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,480
Speaker 1: he did to the Arizona offense. And so we'll see

256
00:12:06,480 --> 00:12:08,800
Speaker 1: what the situation is with Justin Jefferson, how long he

257
00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:09,520
Speaker 1: might be out.

258
00:12:09,800 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 3: Look, there's still TJ.

259
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,720
Speaker 1: Hawkins and they're still Jordan Addison, but it's getting kind

260
00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:15,960
Speaker 1: of bleak, especially if they have to go to Nick

261
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,600
Speaker 1: Mullins for an extended period of time.

262
00:12:18,640 --> 00:12:21,040
Speaker 2: You're never gonna sit t. J. Hawkinson because tight end,

263
00:12:21,080 --> 00:12:23,200
Speaker 2: but it might be time to get away from Jordan Addison.

264
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:27,200
Speaker 3: We'll see what happens. Of course, they play on Saturday night.

265
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,040
Speaker 1: We are just getting started here. We're gonna talk more

266
00:12:30,040 --> 00:12:32,719
Speaker 1: about Sunday and the top performers that we saw, plus some.

267
00:12:32,679 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 3: Of the guys who left us disappointed. That's next on

268
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:36,760
Speaker 3: the NFL Fantasy Football Show.

269
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: The Saturday Showdown is back this week with an exclusive

00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:04,920
Speaker 1: performers four week fourteen. Still two Monday night games to come,

275
00:13:04,960 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: but Lamark Jackson getting it done in overtime against the Rams.

276
00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: Three hundred and sixteen passing yards, three touchdowns, also seventy

277
00:13:11,240 --> 00:13:14,920
Speaker 1: rushing yards nearly thirty two points. There Ezekiel Elliott your

278
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:17,200
Speaker 1: number one running back going back to Thursday Night with

279
00:13:17,240 --> 00:13:19,280
Speaker 1: twenty seven points for Zeke Whisch.

280
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:21,200
Speaker 3: I believe it is higher than Rimandre has had in

281
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 3: any single game so far this season.

282
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:24,680
Speaker 1: I know it's higher than Tony Pollard has had in

283
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,120
Speaker 1: a single game this season for sure. Deebo Samuel doing

284
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: it again. Thirty four points for Debo a receiving a

285
00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:34,320
Speaker 1: touchdown and a rushing touchdown as well. Evan Ingram apparently

286
00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:35,760
Speaker 1: just broke in the seal and now all he does

287
00:13:35,840 --> 00:13:38,600
Speaker 1: is score touchdowns eleven for ninety five and two tudies

288
00:13:38,960 --> 00:13:41,680
Speaker 1: this week thirty two and a half points. Brandon Aubrey,

289
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:45,240
Speaker 1: who is just a machine. Take that all, you hashtag

290
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 1: band kickers. People still love you. Jake Seeley four field goals,

291
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:50,560
Speaker 1: three extra points, twenty one points for him and the

292
00:13:50,559 --> 00:13:54,240
Speaker 1: Saints defense, four sacks, two fumble recoveries, a touchdown, and

293
00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,280
Speaker 1: just six points allowed.

294
00:13:55,400 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: Twenty one fantasy points. There.

295
00:13:58,040 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Let's talk about some of the guys who may or

296
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,040
Speaker 1: may not have made that list that you just saw

297
00:14:02,120 --> 00:14:06,679
Speaker 1: on your screen. The first one Denniston Moore Junior, who

298
00:14:06,679 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: apparently is pretty good when he's got his QB one

299
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:09,120
Speaker 1: with him.

300
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:12,439
Speaker 2: Yeah, coming into this game, he had been averaging over

301
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 2: twenty two fantasy points per game with Justin Fields this year,

302
00:14:16,080 --> 00:14:18,720
Speaker 2: and thirteen to more in all but one. He gave

303
00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,400
Speaker 2: you a light twenty six point eight this week, and

304
00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,800
Speaker 2: look at like he already has tied his career high

305
00:14:24,800 --> 00:14:27,640
Speaker 2: with seven touchdowns. He is one hundred and twenty yards

306
00:14:27,640 --> 00:14:30,080
Speaker 2: away from setting a new career high. There. He is

307
00:14:30,160 --> 00:14:32,960
Speaker 2: having a career year. He is the wide receiver one

308
00:14:32,960 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 2: that we always dreamed that he could be with a

309
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,360
Speaker 2: competent quarterback. Him and Justin Fields when they are both

310
00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:42,240
Speaker 2: healthy and active. I mean, they are both just putting

311
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:44,880
Speaker 2: up fantasy numbers right now. I know they have a

312
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,119
Speaker 2: tough matchup next week against the Browns, a really stingy secondary.

313
00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880
Speaker 2: There's no way you're not starting Dj Moore in that match.

314
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,320
Speaker 1: No, he's just been so good with Justin Fields. He

315
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:56,480
Speaker 1: even wasn't terrible with Tyson Bagent. Yeah, but he's that

316
00:14:56,600 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: much better with Justin Fields. Speaking of back quarterbacks, Jake Browning,

317
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,920
Speaker 1: who hey, look he did it again. And when we

318
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: saw Joe Burrow go down for the season, we figured, okay,

319
00:15:07,720 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: well it's pretty much a rap. I mean we were saying,

320
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,000
Speaker 1: you know, you could probably move on from t Higgins.

321
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:14,040
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase takes a big hit, but two hundred and

322
00:15:14,040 --> 00:15:17,960
Speaker 1: seventy five yards, two touchdowns, twenty three almost twenty four

323
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,120
Speaker 1: fantasy points. It's a couple of weeks in a row, though,

324
00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,920
Speaker 1: where he's put up good fantasy numbers and he's spreading

325
00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:25,880
Speaker 1: the ball around. Last week it was a lot of

326
00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase. This week, T Higgins gets a lot of work.

327
00:15:30,120 --> 00:15:32,040
Speaker 1: Chase brown has the big long catch and run for

328
00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:35,480
Speaker 1: a touchdown. So Browning is looking more comfortable. He's spreading

329
00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:38,119
Speaker 1: the football around, he's getting a lot of his playmakers involved.

330
00:15:38,200 --> 00:15:40,440
Speaker 1: And where's a couple of weeks ago we figured maybe

331
00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:43,680
Speaker 1: it was a rap on the Bengals for fantasy. Now

332
00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:45,920
Speaker 1: we can feel a little bit more confident now. Next

333
00:15:45,920 --> 00:15:48,640
Speaker 1: week they play the Vikings, which is sort of a

334
00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,800
Speaker 1: middle of the road matchup. They've been kind of so

335
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,400
Speaker 1: so against passing games. But if you're looking to stream,

336
00:15:53,800 --> 00:15:56,200
Speaker 1: we've lost Justin Herbert. If maybe you don't have CJ.

337
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 1: Stroud this week, Jake Browning is in play to be

338
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,960
Speaker 1: a stream for a lot of people.

339
00:16:01,040 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 2: High his completion percentage through first three starts since nineteen

340
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,640
Speaker 2: fifty Amazing people on Twitter are like, can I start

341
00:16:07,720 --> 00:16:10,920
Speaker 2: him over? Patrick Mahomes, I that I don't know if

342
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:13,640
Speaker 2: I don't have the stones to do yet, but look

343
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,840
Speaker 2: we're talking about it here. Apparently the Buffalo bill has

344
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 2: talked about how to use James Cook, and I like

345
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:22,440
Speaker 2: the results. I'm happy with this. James Cook is a

346
00:16:22,520 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 2: really good running back. He has made them look so

347
00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 2: foolish for the usage early on in this year and

348
00:16:28,440 --> 00:16:31,400
Speaker 2: for the two dumb benchings that he got earlier this year.

349
00:16:32,400 --> 00:16:34,840
Speaker 2: Forty percent of the snaps this past week ten carries

350
00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:38,840
Speaker 2: five targets twenty five fantasy points. His touchdown catch was

351
00:16:39,120 --> 00:16:42,920
Speaker 2: one that not many running backs can make twenty five

352
00:16:42,960 --> 00:16:45,880
Speaker 2: fantasy points yesterday. In three games since, Joe Brady has

353
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:49,200
Speaker 2: taken over as the OC twenty point one fantasy points

354
00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 2: per game, with at least sixteen in each. He is

355
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:55,400
Speaker 2: I think you could call him an RB one moving forward.

356
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:58,200
Speaker 2: But either way, he is once again a player. Because

357
00:16:58,240 --> 00:16:59,600
Speaker 2: in the middle of the year he was someone that

358
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:02,000
Speaker 2: was people were like, can I sit James Cook? Now

359
00:17:02,040 --> 00:17:04,200
Speaker 2: he is back to someone that you just start each

360
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 2: and every week.

361
00:17:04,800 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 1: You know, it just feels like too, like the issues

362
00:17:06,600 --> 00:17:09,120
Speaker 1: with James Cook haven't really been with James Cook. It's

363
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,679
Speaker 1: like coaches or you mentioned the benchings, just like, you know,

364
00:17:12,920 --> 00:17:14,640
Speaker 1: the guy has one fumble and all of a sudden

365
00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:18,080
Speaker 1: he goes to the bench for half a game. They

366
00:17:18,119 --> 00:17:20,399
Speaker 1: keep using Latavious Murray Like. This just doesn't feel like

367
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 1: a James Cook problem. This feels like I don't know

368
00:17:22,560 --> 00:17:24,960
Speaker 1: if he and Sean McDermott, you know, had a heated

369
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,320
Speaker 1: game of battleship and they just you know, didn't want

370
00:17:27,320 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 1: to play him or something. I can't figure it out.

371
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: Good game style, good game style, which I finally watched

372
00:17:31,400 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: that show. By the way, did you like it? It's entertaining,

373
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:35,840
Speaker 1: That's what I thought. Way more entertaining than I thought

374
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,240
Speaker 1: it would be. All right, speaking of entertaining, Drake London

375
00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 1: had a game that was entertaining, and look, man, we

376
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:43,480
Speaker 1: spent a lot of.

377
00:17:43,440 --> 00:17:45,840
Speaker 3: Time hammering Arthur Smith on this show. We're not the

378
00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 3: only ones.

379
00:17:46,520 --> 00:17:49,639
Speaker 1: But the fact is the last few weeks the playmakers

380
00:17:49,680 --> 00:17:53,000
Speaker 1: are getting involved. Bjon Robinson starting to see more work.

381
00:17:53,080 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: Drake London, who had that ridiculous catch but ten catches

382
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,840
Speaker 1: one hundred and seventy two yards I just see Kyle

383
00:18:00,880 --> 00:18:05,480
Speaker 1: Pitts had a touchdown. The Falcons are getting their playmakers involved.

384
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:07,600
Speaker 1: It only took fourteen weeks and for them to be

385
00:18:07,840 --> 00:18:10,840
Speaker 1: just barely hanging on to the top of the division. Look,

386
00:18:10,880 --> 00:18:13,560
Speaker 1: I don't know if this continues, but let's just enjoy

387
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:16,920
Speaker 1: it while it is here, because you know, London was

388
00:18:16,920 --> 00:18:18,760
Speaker 1: a guy that we had expectations for. We thought he's

389
00:18:18,760 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: gonna be a high end wide receiver too. The offense

390
00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: has sort of kept him down, but you know, at

391
00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:26,160
Speaker 1: least for one week he bawled out, so thank goodness

392
00:18:26,160 --> 00:18:30,120
Speaker 1: for that. It's been a slog for Austin Eckler. So

393
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:31,919
Speaker 1: that's why yesterday was kind of nice to see.

394
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:35,359
Speaker 2: Yeah, and a lot of people were wanting to jump

395
00:18:35,400 --> 00:18:37,800
Speaker 2: ship this week with especially when the rumors of the

396
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,640
Speaker 2: hot hand approach came out. They did go hotth hand

397
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 2: because in the first half the carries were split almost

398
00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:47,200
Speaker 2: evenly between Eckler, Spiller and Josh Kelly. You know who

399
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,120
Speaker 2: emerges the hot hand Austin Eckler because he is the

400
00:18:50,119 --> 00:18:52,920
Speaker 2: best running back on that team still, even if he's

401
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 2: hurt whatever, he is by far their best option in

402
00:18:55,080 --> 00:18:58,280
Speaker 2: that backfield. Played over seventy percent of the snaps, ten carries,

403
00:18:58,320 --> 00:19:02,119
Speaker 2: seven targets, twenty one Fantasy points, and I think you

404
00:19:02,280 --> 00:19:03,840
Speaker 2: just ride out with him the rest of the way,

405
00:19:03,880 --> 00:19:05,800
Speaker 2: even if it's not justin Herbert. I think we'll get

406
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 2: a bunch of dump offfs to him. They get the

407
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 2: Raiders next week on a short week, you're playing him

408
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:13,760
Speaker 2: in that matchup. Then they get the Bills, who struggle

409
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,119
Speaker 2: mightily against pass catching backs. You're playing him in that one.

410
00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,480
Speaker 2: And then he ends the season against the Broncos, who

411
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 2: he just had a big game against. You're playing him

412
00:19:21,400 --> 00:19:23,399
Speaker 2: in that one. So you were going down with the

413
00:19:23,400 --> 00:19:25,840
Speaker 2: ship one way or another. Maybe he's going to lead

414
00:19:25,920 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: you to a ship.

415
00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:27,080
Speaker 3: We don't know.

416
00:19:27,119 --> 00:19:28,120
Speaker 2: We have to watch and see.

417
00:19:28,200 --> 00:19:30,560
Speaker 3: I mean, look, start all your running backs against the Raiders.

418
00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,360
Speaker 1: Even in that offensively challenged the game they played yesterday,

419
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:36,800
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison had sixty six rushing yards on ten carries.

420
00:19:36,920 --> 00:19:39,720
Speaker 1: So it's worth sticking with Austin Eckler at this point,

421
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: even if they're doing this quote unquote hot hand approach.

422
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:46,199
Speaker 1: Once upon a time, Evan Ingram could never score touchdowns.

423
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:49,160
Speaker 1: Now Evan Ingram scores all of the touchdowns he had

424
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: one last week. He had two a game this week,

425
00:19:51,600 --> 00:19:54,840
Speaker 1: and it just starts reinforcing my belief that touchdowns are

426
00:19:54,840 --> 00:19:58,240
Speaker 1: fickle beasts. Right, But he was always getting targets. He

427
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:01,200
Speaker 1: was always involved in the past, and I think even

428
00:20:01,240 --> 00:20:03,840
Speaker 1: at some point Trevor Lawrence acknowledged that, hey, we got

429
00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: to get this guy a touchdown, like he's doing so

430
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:06,639
Speaker 1: much for this offense.

431
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 3: We got to find a way to get him into

432
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 3: the end zone. And now he's like.

433
00:20:10,720 --> 00:20:13,440
Speaker 1: A costco player, right, he's scoring touchdowns in bulk. It's

434
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:17,239
Speaker 1: it's just it's reassuring to see that, you know, and

435
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 1: he's been hanging around in the top ten of tight

436
00:20:19,800 --> 00:20:22,199
Speaker 1: ends all year long, even if it wasn't particularly sexy.

437
00:20:22,400 --> 00:20:25,480
Speaker 1: Now the bigger numbers are starting to come. So let's

438
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:27,280
Speaker 1: just let's be happy for Evan Ingram.

439
00:20:27,280 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 3: There.

440
00:20:27,800 --> 00:20:29,879
Speaker 2: I will say I was off of edit Ingram this

441
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 2: week because of the matchup against the Browns. He has

442
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 2: another tough matchup next week.

443
00:20:33,280 --> 00:20:35,480
Speaker 1: It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. The

444
00:20:35,480 --> 00:20:38,320
Speaker 1: target numbers are happening for him. Those are the guys

445
00:20:38,359 --> 00:20:40,880
Speaker 1: we liked. How about the guys who frustrated us? And

446
00:20:41,119 --> 00:20:43,919
Speaker 1: the sun God just it's been cloudy for the last.

447
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: Couple of weeks for the Sun God.

448
00:20:45,280 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yesterday just twenty one yards for a Monro Saint Brown.

449
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,480
Speaker 2: He first game this year in single digit Fantasy points.

450
00:20:53,480 --> 00:20:55,640
Speaker 2: But like Marcus said, he's been under fifty two weeks

451
00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 2: in a row. Now, you're not overreacting to this. I

452
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,400
Speaker 2: know next week is I really tough matchup against the Broncos.

453
00:21:01,600 --> 00:21:04,720
Speaker 2: You still absolutely have to start a mon Ross Saint Brown.

454
00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 2: It's worth pointing out one yesterday was a road game

455
00:21:07,760 --> 00:21:09,840
Speaker 2: in cold weather for Jared Goff and he never plays

456
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:14,120
Speaker 2: well in those. But two the Bears have given the Lions.

457
00:21:14,119 --> 00:21:17,560
Speaker 2: They're two tough at like at least stat wise's passing numbers.

458
00:21:17,680 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 2: There two worst games this year have come against the Bears.

459
00:21:19,920 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 2: So I'm willing to kind of these are division games

460
00:21:22,240 --> 00:21:24,880
Speaker 2: because he know each other very well. I'm gonna look

461
00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,440
Speaker 2: past this. You're starting a mon Rossaining Brown each and.

462
00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,560
Speaker 1: Every week, just like you're starting Mike Evans each and

463
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:32,480
Speaker 1: every week. And it was not a good week for

464
00:21:32,560 --> 00:21:35,159
Speaker 1: Mike Evans. I mean, he had just the one catch

465
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:38,760
Speaker 1: on Sunday for six yards, but he did have six

466
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:40,520
Speaker 1: targets or white catch for eight yards. I should say

467
00:21:40,520 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: he did have six targets, which I look, they're still

468
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: trying to get him the football. It was not the

469
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:47,560
Speaker 1: big weeks we were used to seeing. He didn't have

470
00:21:47,640 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: the eight to ten targets like he had most of

471
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:52,879
Speaker 1: the year. It just was a weird game. They went

472
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,359
Speaker 1: back and forth. I think both teams maybe had a

473
00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,280
Speaker 1: claim to winning it. Both teams sort of gave it

474
00:21:57,320 --> 00:21:59,520
Speaker 1: away at the end. I'm not really worried long to

475
00:21:59,600 --> 00:22:01,840
Speaker 1: him about Evans. We've seen what he and Baker Mayfield

476
00:22:01,880 --> 00:22:04,800
Speaker 1: could do. This just happened to be a hiccup. Hopefully

477
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: it did not cost you a playoff spot, but all

478
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:10,000
Speaker 1: as well. If you survive and you're playing again next week,

479
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: Mike Evans is going to be back in your lineup

480
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,399
Speaker 1: next week. That'll do it for this edition of the

481
00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:18,400
Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. Be sure to listen tomorrow. We're

482
00:22:18,440 --> 00:22:21,440
Speaker 1: answering your questions. Plus Matt o'cott is going to drop

483
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,200
Speaker 1: by with his top waiver wire targets of the week.

484
00:22:24,480 --> 00:22:26,960
Speaker 1: Stay happy, safe and healthy, do good and live well,

485
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:28,600
Speaker 1: and we'll talk to you again real soon.
