Speaker 1: Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, November thirteenth, twenty twenty four. Welcome
Speaker 1: to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We could really use
Speaker 1: a bye week. Me your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined
Speaker 1: by Michael Florio and Lakwan Jones. We are here in
Speaker 1: week eleven, Laquad. Have you hit the proverbial wall yet?
Speaker 1: Cause I feel like it comes for all of us.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of can you hold it off?
Speaker 2: For? How long? Can you hold it off?
Speaker 3: Oh? Man, we are due for a bye week, but
Speaker 3: I definitely feel like it's coming. It's definitely around the corner.
Speaker 3: I feel it like the burnout is right there. I
Speaker 3: can see it like it's in my living room right now.
Speaker 1: But we are not tapping out. We are not gonna
Speaker 1: go to the sideline to get a rest for a play.
Speaker 1: We're gonna turn around and hand it off. I catch
Speaker 1: our breath that way. We've got plenty of talk about
Speaker 1: on the show. We got the week eleven slate on tap,
Speaker 1: plus some fantasy hot takes as well. Let's get started,
Speaker 1: as we always do about this time, with some fantasy headlines.
Speaker 1: We will start in Chicago where the Bears and they're
Speaker 1: broken offense, trying to fix some things. They do that
Speaker 1: by firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron, Thomas Brown has been
Speaker 1: promoted to take over the play calling in Chicago, Florio,
Speaker 1: Does this change how you feel at all about the
Speaker 1: Bears offense?
Speaker 2: Uh?
Speaker 4: It gives hope that things could get better because it
Speaker 4: was very evident that, like Shane Waldron and that offense
Speaker 4: was stuck in the past. It just wasn't working. But
Speaker 4: are they bringing a new O line in too as well?
Speaker 4: Because the Bears right now are first in sac rate
Speaker 4: fourth and QB pressures allowed and fourth and unblocked quarterback
Speaker 4: pressure is allowed. So yeah, that olon is making life
Speaker 4: tough for Caleb Williams and it's making it harder to
Speaker 4: get everyone else around him going. But we saw Thomas
Speaker 4: Brown with a brief stretches the Panthers play caller last year.
Speaker 4: They ring thirty second in pass yards thirtieth and passing
Speaker 4: touchdowns twentieth and rushing yards thirtieth and rushing touchdowns in
Speaker 4: his tenure there, so hope. But it's not like this
Speaker 4: is a huge thing, like, yes, immediate change is coming,
Speaker 4: like we need to see it and see it for
Speaker 4: a couple of games. I think before we could trust him.
Speaker 2: Yeah, just hope you can get things going again. It
Speaker 2: looked like they were starting to come together.
Speaker 1: Then Jade and Daniels throw a Hail Mary and it
Speaker 1: just seemed to wreck the Bears whole world from there.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, we'll see what happens there. I'm
Speaker 1: speaking of young quarterbacks in tough situations. Anthony Richardson has
Speaker 1: been reinstated as the starting quarterback for the Indianapolis Colts,
Speaker 1: So our short regional nightmare is over.
Speaker 2: Lakwan.
Speaker 1: How do we feel about the Colts offense now that
Speaker 1: A rich is back in charge of things? Uh?
Speaker 3: Rip, Josh downs, That's how I'm gonna open. But I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna attack the Colts organization doing the sniff snap
Speaker 3: back and forth, hot cold. We don't know what we're
Speaker 3: doing here, but.
Speaker 2: More that's what you just did.
Speaker 3: Yeah, But maybe they are watching other teams and how
Speaker 3: they're dealing with their young developing quarterbacks. I mean, look,
Speaker 3: Bryce Young has been playing better since he's been you know,
Speaker 3: back in the office, back off of punishment, and look
Speaker 3: at Will Levis. You know, I'll get on him later on.
Speaker 3: So maybe we're looking at Anthony richardson getting a fresh
Speaker 3: star start the season right now, where you are just
Speaker 3: a clean slate, everything is at zero, no turnovers, no interceptions.
Speaker 3: But I definitely think, you know, this matchup against the
Speaker 3: Jets will be challenging for him to just come off
Speaker 3: the bench and go in there where this Jets defense
Speaker 3: is still going out there and harassing quarterbacks. Hassan Redick
Speaker 3: just getting there. He is increasing each week and his
Speaker 3: pressure going against this Colte line that are allowed on
Speaker 3: the six most sacks since Joe Flacko's taken over as
Speaker 3: the starter. So Anthony Richson's going in there to clean
Speaker 3: up the mess.
Speaker 1: I'm just hoping that now that he's back, they have
Speaker 1: some more designed runs in the offense for him, because
Speaker 1: that's been a big thing that's been missing, certainly for Fantasy.
Speaker 1: That's what we were hoping. Again, we have not gotten that
Speaker 1: so far this year. Meanwhile, in Dallas, things have gone
Speaker 1: from bad to worse. Dak Prescott is going to have
Speaker 1: season ending surgery on his injured hamstring. Mike McCarthy says
Speaker 1: they are sticking with Cooper Rush for the time being
Speaker 1: as their starter, although Trey Lance could see snaps somewhere
Speaker 1: along the way.
Speaker 2: I mean florial point.
Speaker 1: It's pretty much just Ceedee Lamb is the only guy
Speaker 1: we're starting in this offense. But how much do we
Speaker 1: downgrade him with Cooper Russia quarterback.
Speaker 4: I wrote about Ceede Lamb as they sit and start
Speaker 4: sit this week, like I oh, I understand that he
Speaker 4: is Ceedee Lamb and he could get a lot of
Speaker 4: volume and that could overcome everything. But if you are
Speaker 4: an opposing defense, you're thinking, there's one person we need
Speaker 4: to stop here, and it is Ceedee Lamb, So I
Speaker 4: expect that to be problematic. The Cowboys quarterbacks last week
Speaker 4: combined on twenty nine passing attempts through for sixty six yards,
Speaker 4: no touchdowns, and an interception. Now they get a tough
Speaker 4: Texans defense that just picked off Jared Goff and the
Speaker 4: lines five times and has been playing better against the
Speaker 4: pass as of late. I don't think he's a must sit,
Speaker 4: but it's a lot like what Tyreek Hill was without Tua.
Speaker 4: Like the upside probably keeps him in play for some
Speaker 4: of you, But if you have an option you feel
Speaker 4: good about, I think you could get away.
Speaker 2: The good news is they're playing at night, so the
Speaker 2: sun won't be a.
Speaker 4: Factor at at and St Beef in the NFL.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, man, seriously, Jones versus the Sun is
Speaker 1: like the greatest rivalry going in the league right now.
Speaker 2: I can't get enough of that story. All right, let's
Speaker 2: start our attention to Week eleven.
Speaker 1: Four teams on a buy, the Cardinals, the Panthers, the Giants,
Speaker 1: and the Bucks, which means you got a couple of
Speaker 1: quarterbacks out and Kyler Murray and Baker Mayfield. You got
Speaker 1: a couple of big tight ends out in Trey McBride
Speaker 1: and Kate Aughten. So we'll try to navigate things from there.
Speaker 1: We'll start on Thursday Night football. The Commanders and the
Speaker 1: Eagles should be a fun one big game in the
Speaker 1: NFC East.
Speaker 2: Look one, it's.
Speaker 1: Been you know, kind of some down weeks for Jade
Speaker 1: and Daniels. Can he bounce back this week against Philadelphia?
Speaker 3: I think this is a tough task going against his
Speaker 3: Eagles defense. Then, you know, the last six games, they
Speaker 3: kind of just been locking it up since they're by
Speaker 3: and I really feels though Jaydon Daniels has been struggling
Speaker 3: on finding the end zone. Man, When you look at
Speaker 3: the last five games and you look up and see
Speaker 3: bo Nicks with twelve and look at Jaydon Dams with
Speaker 3: only six offensive touchdowns. I don't really like that going
Speaker 3: into this week with the Eagles, who have been very
Speaker 3: stingy and very harassing to these quarterbacks in the pockets.
Speaker 3: So he's got have to make something to do with
Speaker 3: his legs and try to get Tarry McLaurin downfield like
Speaker 3: how we see in his b roll right here. But
Speaker 3: I don't know if this is a complete bounce back
Speaker 3: where I feel healthy with him in my starting lineups
Speaker 3: to put a big QB one points that are expected
Speaker 3: from him.
Speaker 1: I think, you know, obviously you want to see Jayden
Speaker 1: Daniels bounce back. I think Cliff Kingsbury needs to see
Speaker 1: it as well, because you know that narrative of the
Speaker 1: narrative Cliff Kingsbury offense is fading in the second half.
Speaker 1: You're gonna start to come to life again soon if
Speaker 1: we don't see any progression from the Commander's offense, I
Speaker 1: think in the next couple of weeks. Moving on to
Speaker 1: the Sunday set of games Ravens at Steelers, this is
Speaker 1: always basically a fist fight between these two teams.
Speaker 2: Florida.
Speaker 1: We know, look we're starting Lamar Jackson, We're starting Derrick Henry.
Speaker 1: This is a good Steelers defense. Can you start any
Speaker 1: of the Ravens wide receivers here?
Speaker 4: I think you can start Zay Flowers because I know
Speaker 4: last week was disappointing, but in the four game five
Speaker 4: games before that, in four of them he topped one
Speaker 4: hundred and ten yards. So that type of production I
Speaker 4: think is simply too good to get away from right now.
Speaker 4: I think you could sit Bateman, he's just a boom
Speaker 4: or bust. I think you could sit Deontay Johnson because
Speaker 4: I'm not giving up on him yet, but I need
Speaker 4: to see it happen in this Ravens offense before I
Speaker 4: trust him again. Flowers had one game against the Steelers
Speaker 4: last year. Eleven targets, five catches, seventy three yards. That's
Speaker 4: twelve fantasy points in a PPR league. Like that's solid,
Speaker 4: but I think the upside is even higher than that
Speaker 4: and what could be a sneakily high scoring game. So yeah,
Speaker 4: I would start him. I would get away and Mark Andrews.
Speaker 4: I know he's a one out of wide receiver, but
Speaker 4: he's a tight end. The rest of the pass catchers.
Speaker 2: I'd get away from Yeah, I do like the look.
Speaker 1: I was big on Mark Andrews this offseason, so him
Speaker 1: bouncing back the last few weeks has been a big relief.
Speaker 1: He's a live He's alive. It's great, great love to
Speaker 1: see it. Lakwan falcons at the Broncos look. Drake London's
Speaker 1: been a nice play for us this year. Darnell Mooney's
Speaker 1: been a nice play. Broncos secondary very very tough. Any
Speaker 1: worries about London and or Mooney in this one.
Speaker 3: Both guys have a tough matchup this We know it's
Speaker 3: nothing new that the Broncos played wide receivers very stingy
Speaker 3: and fantasy to allow in the fewest fantasy points per
Speaker 3: game to the position. But Drake London, Man, I believe
Speaker 3: in him as this wide receiver one, and I think
Speaker 3: Kirk Cousin is going to find him in the most
Speaker 3: tight windows, the most difficult spots, and he's making himself available.
Speaker 3: Drake London is not a great separator, but honestly, he's
Speaker 3: a dude that you could just throw it up and
Speaker 3: it's going to be at eighty twenty ball where eighty
Speaker 3: percent he's going to go up and snatch it out
Speaker 3: of the field. So if they can get on top
Speaker 3: of this Broncos secondary to get him loose, to get
Speaker 3: Darnall Mooney running the underneath, or even switch it to
Speaker 3: where Darnol Mooney is stretching the field. This could be
Speaker 3: a great game for Drake London to show up and
Speaker 3: show out like he did last week, even though he
Speaker 3: was banged up. But it really feel as though he
Speaker 3: can challenge this Broncos secondary.
Speaker 2: I mean, look, I think we're starting Drake London.
Speaker 1: It's just a matter of how much you believe in him,
Speaker 1: how high you think the ceiling is. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: lower than most weeks, but you're not really getting away
Speaker 1: from Drake London at this point in the year. Never
Speaker 1: big one in the NFC on was Floyda the Seahawks
Speaker 1: at the forty nine Ers.
Speaker 2: How much faith do you have in this.
Speaker 1: Seattle passing game this week considering the Seahawks in recent
Speaker 1: years have not had a good run against this forty
Speaker 1: nine or defense.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't have much faith in it at all.
Speaker 4: In fact, Gino Smith has never beaten the forty nine
Speaker 4: Ers in his career and he's been a Seahawk for
Speaker 4: a number of years now. In fact, in his career
Speaker 4: in the regular season against the forty nine ers, he
Speaker 4: has averaged two hundred and thirty two passing yards per game,
Speaker 4: has two passing touchdowns that's in four games combined, and
Speaker 4: four interceptions. One of his three games this season with
Speaker 4: fewer than fifteen fantasy points came against them. He struggles
Speaker 4: against them. That trickles down to his pass catchers. The
Speaker 4: only one I would start this week is DK Metcalf
Speaker 4: because I believe the upside with DK is far too
Speaker 4: high to get away from even in a tough matchup.
Speaker 4: But Tyler Lockett has become like waiver wire fodder JSN.
Speaker 4: I have hope for him still long term, but with
Speaker 4: those other guys out there, he's become a little two
Speaker 4: boom er busts. Volume has been hard to come by,
Speaker 4: so DK or busts for me and obviously Kenneth Walker,
Speaker 4: but we're talking pass catchers here, so it's just DK.
Speaker 1: Yeah, even Deka has not really had a good run
Speaker 1: of it against the forty nine ers, but this one's
Speaker 1: sort of got.
Speaker 2: To believe just on volume potentially what he can be.
Speaker 1: I'll have more games a little bit later on in
Speaker 1: the show. But right now it is time to talk
Speaker 1: about some sleepers for the week.
Speaker 2: LQ.
Speaker 3: Who you got Jerry Judy for sure, man back to
Speaker 3: back games. In the last two games he's played, He's
Speaker 3: at seventy plus receiving yards, and I think with Jamis
Speaker 3: Winston being so aggressive downfield despite having the bye week,
Speaker 3: he's second in completions of downfield passes, and I think
Speaker 3: this is where Jerry Judy in the last couple of
Speaker 3: weeks have been really thriving. So where we're going to
Speaker 3: get in that yards after to catch. He's still a
Speaker 3: great separator. I think he can get on top of
Speaker 3: this Saints defense as well, where their secondary have been
Speaker 3: given up a ton of big plays. So Jerry Judy
Speaker 3: is definitely a sleeper this week that he should be
Speaker 3: considered in starting lineups.
Speaker 1: All right, So Jerry Judy a chance We'm going to
Speaker 1: get something going this week.
Speaker 2: Who do you like is a sleeper? Floria?
Speaker 4: I like Jalen Warren, Which it might sound crazy to
Speaker 4: call a running back a sleeper against the Ravens because
Speaker 4: they have been elite against the run, but that's exactly
Speaker 4: why I think Jalen Warren is a sleeper. Because the
Speaker 4: Ravens have allowed these second fewest rushing yards, they allow
Speaker 4: explosive runs at the lowest rate in the NFL, just
Speaker 4: three point two yards per carry. Two running backs. Naji
Speaker 4: Harris gets the bulk of work on the ground. Warren
Speaker 4: will get some there as well. But he since he's
Speaker 4: come back and last week after theirby I think is
Speaker 4: the healthiest he's looked all season. He's getting more of
Speaker 4: the passing game works, so if the Steelers are trailing
Speaker 4: or chasing points, he could get a lot of dump
Speaker 4: offs potentially in the second half.
Speaker 2: Is there and catchup.
Speaker 1: I do like Jalen Warren this week, and I know
Speaker 1: it doesn't make sense necessarily on paper, but just something about.
Speaker 2: It feels sort of nice.
Speaker 1: My sleeper this week is Jared Goff and this is
Speaker 1: coming off what was an awful performance last week, throwing
Speaker 1: five interceptions against the Houston Texans. There was some internet
Speaker 1: disinformation campaign going around last week saying that whenever he
Speaker 1: throws four interceptions or more he is undefeated, that he
Speaker 1: is seven to zero. That's not true. He's only done
Speaker 1: that twice. He's won and one in those games. But
Speaker 1: apparently it fooled some very big name NFL quarterbacks. We
Speaker 1: won't say which ones.
Speaker 2: Look, this is what we though.
Speaker 1: He's going against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and this has been
Speaker 1: a great matchup for quarterbacks all season long. The Jaguars
Speaker 1: have given up eight top twelve finishes so far this season,
Speaker 1: and these aren't necessarily stud quarterbacks. Two of the guys
Speaker 1: who did it Deshaun Watson, who was playing awfully before
Speaker 1: he got injured and was out for the season, and
Speaker 1: Joe Flacco, who just got bingched for Anthony Richardson. So
Speaker 1: it's not as though the Jaguars are just giving up
Speaker 1: points to brand name, elite quarterbacks. It's happening across the board.
Speaker 1: I feel confident in saying that Jared Goff is better
Speaker 1: than both Deshaun Watson and Joe Flacco. He certainly has
Speaker 1: better weapons than either one of those guys. So I
Speaker 1: feel pretty good about Jared Goff bouncing back from a
Speaker 1: horrendous performance on Sunday Night Football to get it done
Speaker 1: against the Jacksonville Jaguars this week.
Speaker 2: You want to have you have a Jared Goof joke.
Speaker 5: First, I was gonna just jump in and say, like,
Speaker 5: as soon as I heard that stat I was like,
Speaker 5: that's false because as a RAM straight, I'm like, what
Speaker 5: games did he win when he threw that many picks?
Speaker 5: Because I was he meet every single interception, So I'm
Speaker 5: just like, no, there's no way this is real.
Speaker 1: The good news is for the Rams, he only had
Speaker 1: one game with four interceptions. I mean he lost that game.
Speaker 1: It it only happened one time.
Speaker 3: So I was screaming at this dude off of one
Speaker 3: like that's why. I'm like that that's not true. There's
Speaker 3: no way.
Speaker 1: But apparely it fooled a lot of folks across the interwebs.
Speaker 1: So you know, again, disinformation is real and apparently it works.
Speaker 2: Who knew We're gonna take a breakwak run back. We
Speaker 2: have plenty more to talk about.
Speaker 1: We got some hot starts and some more of the
Speaker 1: fantasy relevant games here in week eleven, stick around for
Speaker 1: more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 2: It's time to see who will deliver, presented by Uber Eats.
Speaker 1: Looking at the players that we are guaranteeing you're gonna
Speaker 1: go out and put up some big points for your
Speaker 1: fantasy team this week, and mcawuh, I'm looking at your
Speaker 1: hot start.
Speaker 2: I'm not saying you're a Homer.
Speaker 1: I'm just sort of surprised just because they're going against
Speaker 1: the quarterback who he's not elite, but he's playing good football.
Speaker 1: So I'm just I just say I'm a little surprised,
Speaker 1: that's all.
Speaker 3: Well, let me start off by saying, I am a
Speaker 3: Drake May fan, but he is going through chaos and
Speaker 3: l this week against my Rams man. That D line
Speaker 3: is going to be getting ather room because they have
Speaker 3: been getting a ton of pressure. Jared versus aka Va.
Speaker 3: You can already get him defensive Rookie of the Year,
Speaker 3: but this Patriots O line is god awful. The numbers
Speaker 3: on the back of his offensive line jerseys are going
Speaker 3: to be screaming at him, running at him and his face,
Speaker 3: Drake May, I'm talking about. So this Rams D line
Speaker 3: creating the pressure are going to be able to get
Speaker 3: the sacks and get the turnovers to be the number
Speaker 3: one DST this week in Week eleven.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, they've made a lot of progression from
Speaker 1: the start of the season. We saw them give the
Speaker 1: Dolphins a really hard time on Monday Night.
Speaker 2: Certainly Miami, I.
Speaker 1: Think a much more productive offense than what we've seen
Speaker 1: out of New England so far this season, so certainly
Speaker 1: not out of their own of possibility. And literally, you know,
Speaker 1: Jared Vers and Braden Fisk up front have been solid
Speaker 1: this season, so for sure. Plus look, big game, you
Speaker 1: know the Rams run of bounce back after last week,
Speaker 1: So big game for both these sides. Here there, Florio
Speaker 1: your hot start this week. A guy that I don't
Speaker 1: know I'm gonna say is that we owe Mike Tomlin
Speaker 1: an apology.
Speaker 4: Yes, me probably most of all, So I apologize for
Speaker 4: doubting you. Russell Wilson and Mike Tomlin. You brought the
Speaker 4: mister unlimited to Pittsburgh and it has just worked. He
Speaker 4: is averaging just under nineteen Fantasy points per game in
Speaker 4: his three starts as the Steelers. He's getting the most
Speaker 4: out of George Pickens. But I think this is a
Speaker 4: going to be the best week of Russell Wilson so
Speaker 4: far with the Pittsburgh Steelers because the Ravens have allowed
Speaker 4: the most passing yards and touched and the second most
Speaker 4: Fantasy points per game to quarterbacks, and unlike most teams
Speaker 4: at the Steelers face, they should be able to put
Speaker 4: up a lot of points against that Steelers defense, which
Speaker 4: means Russ could have to throw even more than he
Speaker 4: does in a normal week. So I love the matchup.
Speaker 4: I love what he's been doing recently, and I think
Speaker 4: he is a great start this week.
Speaker 2: I absolutely love Russell Wilson this week. I think this
Speaker 2: is everything you sort of wanted.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know we came into the season not
Speaker 1: really thinking much of Russ as a fantasy starter, mostly
Speaker 1: that he would help the pass catches around him. But
Speaker 1: it's to the point now we're like, Russ probably a
Speaker 1: fantasy starter for.
Speaker 2: You, especially this week. He's cooking.
Speaker 1: He is cooking. Let Russ cook. It is back in
Speaker 1: our lives again. Didn't think we get here, but here
Speaker 1: we are. Also didn't think we get back to the
Speaker 1: point where Kareem Hunt was like a locked in start
Speaker 1: him every week, sort of running back in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: But he has done an excellent job for the Chiefs
Speaker 1: since taking over for the insured Isaiah Pacheco. He leads
Speaker 1: the team in scrimmage yards. He's tied for the team
Speaker 1: lead in overall touchdowns as well. Now look, his opportunities
Speaker 1: as a workhorse might be coming to an end because
Speaker 1: the practice window is open for Isaiah Pacheco, so he
Speaker 1: could be back very soon. But this week I like
Speaker 1: his opportunity against the Bills, a Bills run defense that
Speaker 1: has not been great all year long, and last week
Speaker 1: we actually saw Kareem Hunt get involved in the passing
Speaker 1: game as well, which is something we knew he could do.
Speaker 2: It just hadn't really been using him in.
Speaker 1: That regard this season, but we did see it last week,
Speaker 1: So maybe we see more of that coming up again
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: But they just love the matchup against the.
Speaker 1: Bills for a Chiefs offense that you know hadn't been
Speaker 1: great obviously, but Kareem Hunt doing good things for them
Speaker 1: this season.
Speaker 2: That was Who Will Deliver presented by.
Speaker 1: Uber Eats, where you can get the best deals on
Speaker 1: game day food all season long, the official on demand
Speaker 1: delivery partner of the NFL Order. Now, speaking of the
Speaker 1: Chiefs and the Bills, Florio, I know you will be
Speaker 1: watching that game intently obviously, just a little can you
Speaker 1: start any of the wide receivers on either side. I mean, Buffalo,
Speaker 1: they are banged up for sure, but even the Chiefs
Speaker 1: going against that Bill secondary, any receivers you feel good about.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think for the Chiefs it's DeAndre Hopkins and
Speaker 4: that's it. But given his recent production in the volume
Speaker 4: he has seen, I think he remains in play. And
Speaker 4: then for the Bills, Khalil Shakiir brings a state floor
Speaker 4: and I think he will continue to bring that. I
Speaker 4: have a number of teams this week. These are deeper
Speaker 4: leagues where I start probably like three wide receivers, two flexes,
Speaker 4: but I am starting Shakiir in all of those leagues.
Speaker 4: And then Amari Cooper it sounds like he has a
Speaker 4: chance to suit up again this week. If he does,
Speaker 4: he's still boom or busts, but I would be looking
Speaker 4: to get him in my lineup. I know the logic
Speaker 4: here says these are two good defenses. This could be
Speaker 4: a lower scoring game, but every time these two teams
Speaker 4: meet up, something crazy happens. The quarterbacks want to show
Speaker 4: up and show out because they're going against the rival
Speaker 4: best friend on the other side. So yeah, I still
Speaker 4: think those pass catchers are in play all.
Speaker 1: Right, So you can still lean on a couple of
Speaker 1: guys in this game, although should be entertaining. We'll see
Speaker 1: how many points there are between a couple of good
Speaker 1: defenses in this one coming up this weekend. So the
Speaker 1: night football the Bengals at the Chargers right here at
Speaker 1: SOFI Stadium, laquant Who would you rather start. Let's say
Speaker 1: this is a DFS situation, Chase Brown or Gus Edwards.
Speaker 3: I'll probably be leaning the Chase Brown. I mean, honestly,
Speaker 3: when you look at this Chargers defense and how it
Speaker 3: is designed, it forces a lot of these offenses to
Speaker 3: dump the ball off quickly. So this is where Chase
Speaker 3: Brown has more of the PPR upside. Over there on
Speaker 3: the Chargers side. With Gus Edwards, he's just returning backs,
Speaker 3: totally getting walked into some opportunities. But it's JK. Dobbins's backfield.
Speaker 3: At least with Chase Brown, he's getting the workload and
Speaker 3: he's getting the opportunities in the passing game. So therefore
Speaker 3: I do like Chase Brown a little bit more for
Speaker 3: PPR formats.
Speaker 1: All right, Look, I like Chase Brown. I've been on
Speaker 1: record to say how much I like Chase Brown. I
Speaker 1: guess I'm just worried about him because the Chargers have
Speaker 1: been so good against the run. Although Florio you and
Speaker 1: I and Patrick Claybaan were talking earlier in the week
Speaker 1: that maybe it's just that the Chargers haven't really played anybody.
Speaker 4: They haven't, at least offensively, had to really get into
Speaker 4: a shootout because of that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see Monday night football the Texans at
Speaker 1: the Cowboys.
Speaker 2: One thing we know won't be in play as the.
Speaker 1: Sun because it's a night game in Dallas. We don't
Speaker 1: have to worry about that.
Speaker 2: Florio, Is this though, the CJ. Stroud breakout game we've
Speaker 2: been waiting for?
Speaker 4: I would hope so I am, because it sounds like
Speaker 4: Nico Collins is going to play this week and this season,
Speaker 4: in the games where CJ. Stroud has Nico Collins, he
Speaker 4: has averaged eighty more passing yards per game than in
Speaker 4: games without him eighty. That is such a huge difference,
Speaker 4: and I think like, especially in a matchup like this
Speaker 4: where the Cowboys play a lot of single high Nico
Speaker 4: Collins has dominated out. Him and Justin Jefferson have been
Speaker 4: the two best wide receivers against single high coverage this year.
Speaker 4: So just having him back, especially since they lost Stefan Diggs,
Speaker 4: this offense has been searching for a go to guy
Speaker 4: for CJ. Stroud. He is getting the best option they
Speaker 4: have back with Nico Collins against a defense that has
Speaker 4: been had in the passing game.
Speaker 1: So yes, I mean, it feels like if it doesn't
Speaker 1: happen this week for CJ. Stroud, I don't know when
Speaker 1: it does happen, right, I mean that.
Speaker 4: Old line man, Yeah, that on line.
Speaker 1: The line is bad and so like you know, look,
Speaker 1: Micah Parsons is going to be a problem, but if
Speaker 1: they can somehow handle him, whether it's you know, having
Speaker 1: somebody chip in the backfield or whatever. I mean, this
Speaker 1: just feels like an opportunity for CJ. Stroud to go
Speaker 1: have a game. I thought it was gonna have it
Speaker 1: last week. I mean the first half against the Lions,
Speaker 1: it seemed like Stroud was putting something together and then
Speaker 1: then the second half it all sort of fell apart
Speaker 1: and you got fewer than ten points. So I don't
Speaker 1: I don't really X I'm believing in him though this week.
Speaker 1: I choose to believe in CJ. Stroud this week for
Speaker 1: the rest of our Week eleven previews, and you can
Speaker 1: check us out on Fantasy Extra on NFL Plus. Will
Speaker 1: be sure to keep a lookout for that. At the meantime,
Speaker 1: it's time to drive your line. I'm presented by the
Speaker 1: all new hybrid Toyota camer so LQ heat us up
Speaker 1: with what you got.
Speaker 3: Oh, we're going Camemrilely back to back games of twenty
Speaker 3: five plus fantasy points. I like what I saw last
Speaker 3: week with Will Levis back at quarterback against the Chargers defense.
Speaker 3: That's very tough. And look, Will Levis is playing better
Speaker 3: football now that he was able to sail on the
Speaker 3: sideline and look at all the mistakes that he was
Speaker 3: making them. Mason Rudolph was perfecting. But more so what
Speaker 3: I saw was this was his best game in decision
Speaker 3: making and hitting Calvin Ridley on these easy passes. It's
Speaker 3: his first game this season without a turnover. So I'm
Speaker 3: liking Will Levis and how it's projecting for Calvin Ridley
Speaker 3: against his Vikings defense. Which is no secret that the
Speaker 3: Vikings defense allow a ton of production to the wide
Speaker 3: receivers top three fantasy points per game allowed. So therefore
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley light it up, baby.
Speaker 2: All right?
Speaker 1: Look, Cawen really has been red hot, so I do
Speaker 1: not hate that at all. Florida, who is your what
Speaker 1: is your hot take for the week?
Speaker 4: Brock Pardy will be the QB one this week going
Speaker 4: up against the Seattle Seahawks, because one, he has a
Speaker 4: history of success against them, in each of his last
Speaker 4: two games against them, he will in his last two
Speaker 4: games against him combined for six passing touchdowns, has multiple
Speaker 4: pass touchdowns in four of five career games against them.
Speaker 4: But the other thing is Christian McCaffrey is back. And
Speaker 4: I know some of you might be like, how is
Speaker 4: a running back helped the quarterback? It is such a
Speaker 4: cheat code when you have you could dump it off
Speaker 4: to a guy who could go the distance anytime he
Speaker 4: touches the ball. It is why in his first game
Speaker 4: with CMC he threw for a season high three hundred
Speaker 4: and fifty three yards. In all of the games this
Speaker 4: year without CMC he topped three hundred yards once. So
Speaker 4: the great matchup, the great wide receivers he has, and
Speaker 4: now that dump off option back to CMC, I think
Speaker 4: we're gonna get Purty looking like an elite fantasy option
Speaker 4: like he did last season, and he will be the
Speaker 4: QB ones.
Speaker 2: I for forty nine er fans and for fantasy managers.
Speaker 1: You hope this improves the red zone offense, which has
Speaker 1: been awful for San Francisco. But just having Christian McCaffrey
Speaker 1: means one more guy to go to, and maybe it
Speaker 1: does mean some short, easy touchdown throws for brock Perty.
Speaker 1: I think fantasy folks would certainly welcome back for me
Speaker 1: my hot take this week, Nick Chubb is gonna get
Speaker 1: you twenty fantasy points. It's been a while since we
Speaker 1: have seen this out of Nick Chubb obviously missed most
Speaker 1: of last season a good chunk of this season after
Speaker 1: recouping from a knee injury. This seems like the matchup though,
Speaker 1: going against the New Orleans Saints, who have been awful
Speaker 1: against a run all season long. The volume hasn't really
Speaker 1: been bad for Chubb in his return, getting about fifteen
Speaker 1: touches per game. Maybe that even goes up a little
Speaker 1: bit this week. But this is a good matchup, is
Speaker 1: a good running back who's starting to get back into
Speaker 1: the flow of things. They had the bye last week,
Speaker 1: so hopefully a little bit of chance to rest and
Speaker 1: get ready to go for this week for Nick Chubb.
Speaker 1: Looking forward to it, I think a big game is
Speaker 1: coming against the Saints. That was Drive Your Lineup presented
