1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:14,040
Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, December eighteenth, twenty twenty four.

2
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,680
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show where we see

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:18,720
Speaker 1: a light at the end of the tunnel. It's been

4
00:00:18,760 --> 00:00:21,320
Speaker 1: your man, MG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael le f Florio.

5
00:00:21,560 --> 00:00:23,479
Speaker 1: I know the Kwan Jones today. Hopefully he's back with

6
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: us next week. But we still got plenty to talk about.

7
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,120
Speaker 1: It's week sixteen. How many leagues have you survived and

8
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:30,920
Speaker 1: advanced in?

9
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 2: So last week I was on here, like, I only

10
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,840
Speaker 2: made it in three of my double digit playoffs, which

11
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,080
Speaker 2: wasn't great, but all three advanced, so I'm happy with that.

12
00:00:39,520 --> 00:00:41,880
Speaker 3: All three that were big underdogs this week.

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,400
Speaker 1: Okay, so yeah, I was in in a couple. One

14
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:47,159
Speaker 1: I'm done, the other one I had a buy. So

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:50,320
Speaker 1: I made it through, which is great because the guys

16
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:52,040
Speaker 1: that I would have started did not do well.

17
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,880
Speaker 4: So is that the one that we're playing each other

18
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 4: in a dynasty?

19
00:00:54,560 --> 00:00:54,840
Speaker 3: We are?

20
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:57,160
Speaker 1: That's the same one? Yes? Are we playing at each

21
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,880
Speaker 1: other now? Okay? So yeah, this is for the semi Yeah,

22
00:01:01,160 --> 00:01:03,280
Speaker 1: if I had played last week, I would have lost

23
00:01:03,320 --> 00:01:07,080
Speaker 1: because my team did not do well. Gino, I had

24
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: sequon I had a lot of guys who did not

25
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:10,679
Speaker 1: have big you know.

26
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,360
Speaker 2: What, that's what happens to your team like these big

27
00:01:13,400 --> 00:01:15,840
Speaker 2: Cooper Cup Saquon all of those teams that had to

28
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:16,640
Speaker 2: buy and survived it.

29
00:01:16,680 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 1: And we're gonna win the championship because you just you

30
00:01:18,760 --> 00:01:20,600
Speaker 1: get the bad one out of the way and then

31
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 1: you just roll on through. So we will dive into

32
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:27,440
Speaker 1: the Week sixteen slate also give you some fantasy hot takes.

33
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:29,959
Speaker 1: But let's get started as we normally do about this

34
00:01:30,080 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: time with some fantasy headlines. And got a couple of

35
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:39,160
Speaker 1: quarterback related headlines today. A first one in Cleveland, Jamis

36
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,360
Speaker 1: Winston now being sent to the bench. It'll be Dorian

37
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:46,040
Speaker 1: Thompson Robinson getting the start for the Cleveland Browns, so

38
00:01:46,120 --> 00:01:49,600
Speaker 1: no more Jamis instead of his DTR. We had really

39
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 1: come to get comfortable with having David and Joku and

40
00:01:52,240 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: Jerry Judy in our lineups. Does this mean that time

41
00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:56,520
Speaker 1: is over now?

42
00:01:57,960 --> 00:01:59,560
Speaker 3: So full disclosure.

43
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:01,640
Speaker 2: I had Jerry Judy as a start in stardhum sit him,

44
00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:03,080
Speaker 2: and then this news came out and I was like.

45
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 4: Delete, because I can in good faith.

46
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: Be like start him. No questions asked to me. It's

47
00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 2: a lot more matchup dependent when it comes to Jerry Judy, Like,

48
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
Speaker 2: who are your other options? If you don't have anyone

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 2: that you feel great about, I think it's worth taking

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 2: the shot on him. David and Joku though just I

51
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: would take the shot on him because one, it is

52
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 2: the best matchup a tight end could have right now. Two,

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,080
Speaker 2: I still think he's gonna get plenty of volume. But three, like,

54
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 2: who are you gonna play over him? Tight end is

55
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:31,000
Speaker 2: so bad right now that I think you still start him.

56
00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 2: But this is awful for fantasy purposes because yeah, we

57
00:02:35,480 --> 00:02:38,080
Speaker 2: had starters in like Judy and stuff. And the thing is,

58
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: I know he doesn't turn the like Jamis was turning

59
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,320
Speaker 2: the ball over a bunch. Dtrs interception rate small sample size,

60
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,480
Speaker 2: but this year it's twice as high as Winston's.

61
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: Yeah, there's just there's nothing about dtr that's going to

62
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: make you want to start him right because he's not

63
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,600
Speaker 1: going to distribute the football. He'll run a little bit,

64
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: but not enough that you feel great. It's not a

65
00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,600
Speaker 1: you know, it's not a justin Field sort of situation

66
00:02:58,520 --> 00:03:01,480
Speaker 1: with with Dorian Thompson road, but obviously we don't really

67
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:03,520
Speaker 1: feel great enough about a lot of the pass catchers

68
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,920
Speaker 1: that you can absolutely for sure start them. I know

69
00:03:07,040 --> 00:03:09,360
Speaker 1: Jamis was a turnover machine, but he was also throwing

70
00:03:09,400 --> 00:03:11,280
Speaker 1: the ball forty times a game. He was putting up

71
00:03:11,320 --> 00:03:14,760
Speaker 1: big yards and was throwing touchdowns. But that looks like

72
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:17,040
Speaker 1: it is over now for the Brown.

73
00:03:16,760 --> 00:03:18,600
Speaker 4: He's a UCLA Bruin, so I know you don't like it.

74
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 1: Also that part so like it's just gonna be hard

75
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:26,680
Speaker 1: to trust him anyway, because bruin. Anyway, speaking of former

76
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:29,480
Speaker 1: Pac twelve vers, Michael PENNOCKX Junior is now the starting

77
00:03:29,560 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: quarterback for the Atlanta Falcons. Kirk Cousins sent to the

78
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,560
Speaker 1: bench after yet another terrible game for Atlanta. I mean,

79
00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: I guess a similar situation right, this quarterback changed. What

80
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:43,119
Speaker 1: does it mean for Drake London, Darnell Mooney, the rest

81
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 1: of the pass catchers down there in Atlanta? Uh?

82
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,200
Speaker 2: I think with Draken like it can't get any worse, right,

83
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 2: Like you've watched Kirk Cousins play. There was a four

84
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,440
Speaker 2: game shirts where he didn't throw a touchdown and he

85
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,520
Speaker 2: had eight interceptions. And like I keep joking that Drake

86
00:03:55,560 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 2: London was playing power forward because he had a box

87
00:03:58,040 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 2: everything out because they were all coming in like I

88
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 2: was throwing the ball or something like that. So I

89
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,360
Speaker 2: think this is a good thing for Drake London. I

90
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:06,960
Speaker 2: think you could take a wait and see approach with

91
00:04:07,040 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Darnell Mooney because he's a little bit less in the

92
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,520
Speaker 2: target pecking order everything. But like in that Dynasty league

93
00:04:12,520 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 2: where we're facing each other, Marcus, I have to start

94
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,880
Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts because like there's no one out there on

95
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:18,400
Speaker 2: waivers in a dynasty.

96
00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:19,920
Speaker 1: League, And I'm like, Okay, maybe I have.

97
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 2: Some hope here because I don't know, he could put

98
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,520
Speaker 2: velocity on his throws and get the ball out pretty quick.

99
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:27,840
Speaker 2: One thing I was thinking this morning though, was like

100
00:04:28,120 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 2: we were all so high on this Washington Huskies offense

101
00:04:31,480 --> 00:04:35,000
Speaker 2: coming into the NFL. Roma Dunza hasn't hit, Jalen Polk

102
00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:39,240
Speaker 2: hasn't hit, McMillan's been okay, Ryan Grubbs offense, and Seattle

103
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,520
Speaker 2: hasn't hit. Maybe it was all thanks to Michael Pennix.

104
00:04:41,680 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe he is the skeleton key that unlocks everything.

105
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: So we're gonna find out. By the way, as you

106
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 1: mentioned for Drake London playing power forward, he actually was

107
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,560
Speaker 1: a guard at USC. He played three games. A total

108
00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:58,159
Speaker 1: of six minutes played during these three games, oh for

109
00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,840
Speaker 1: one shooting for one from the free throw line. But

110
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:05,600
Speaker 1: I do believe he had uh oh see he two turnovers,

111
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: two fouls and three totals.

112
00:05:08,040 --> 00:05:09,680
Speaker 4: Like I'm getting on his box sheets so one.

113
00:05:09,640 --> 00:05:13,839
Speaker 1: Way, three total rebounds. So he was a stat sheet stuffer,

114
00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:17,640
Speaker 1: but not necessarily any great way. Obviously, sticking with football

115
00:05:17,760 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: was the right choice for Drake London for sure. But

116
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 1: to your point, though, I'm sort of with you. I

117
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,760
Speaker 1: think you can always believe in the Atlanta Falcons pass

118
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,400
Speaker 1: catchers a little bit more. You're gonna have a quarterback

119
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:30,839
Speaker 1: that can get the football out to them. That's something

120
00:05:30,839 --> 00:05:32,719
Speaker 1: that we didn't really have the last few weeks with

121
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins. He was regressing. I don't know if it was,

122
00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:39,080
Speaker 1: you know, age injury, whatever it was, but Kirk Cousins

123
00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:41,400
Speaker 1: was looking really awful, and I think it was sort

124
00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:44,159
Speaker 1: of bringing everybody down with him. Also, they're playing the

125
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,080
Speaker 1: Giants also, that which I think is which I think

126
00:05:48,160 --> 00:05:49,840
Speaker 1: is a big reason why they made the change. Now,

127
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:50,719
Speaker 1: since right.

128
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:53,640
Speaker 2: You've dominated in college, go dominate a college defense.

129
00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,440
Speaker 3: That's what they're asking him to do.

130
00:05:55,560 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: I mean, so, yeah, it definitely made sense for them

131
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,240
Speaker 1: to give him the start here and a game where

132
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:01,160
Speaker 1: I get it, you're still very much in the playoff

133
00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:03,440
Speaker 1: race trying to win a division, but also put your

134
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:06,120
Speaker 1: rookie in against a defense. It's not quite as intimidating

135
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: as something almost lost for the Raiders with Kirk Cousins.

136
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:10,599
Speaker 1: It can't get any worse. They get any worse, for sure.

137
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,039
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into some of the week sixteen

138
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,680
Speaker 1: game previews. We'll get a handful of them here. You

139
00:06:15,680 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: can get the rest of them on NFL Plus Fantasy

140
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 1: Extra to keep an eye out for that. We'll start

141
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000
Speaker 1: with Thursday Night Football, the Broncos at the Chargers right

142
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: next door at SOFI Stadium. You can see that game

143
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:30,720
Speaker 1: eight fifteen pm Eastern on Prime Video. Choose your fighter.

144
00:06:31,360 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Would you start bow Knicks or would you start Justin

145
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: Herbert's bo Nix?

146
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: And it's not even close for me, Like, I know

147
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 2: both they're coming off of a couple of down games,

148
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 2: but I kept trying to be like, all right, this

149
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,160
Speaker 2: is the week Justin Herbert bounces back because he's had

150
00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,479
Speaker 2: good matchup after good matchup, and it just hasn't really

151
00:06:47,560 --> 00:06:50,920
Speaker 2: happened last week, struggled against the Bucks, who allow every

152
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:53,560
Speaker 2: quarterback they face to finish as a QB one seemingly.

153
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,040
Speaker 2: But the Chargers have really struggled against the pass as

154
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 2: of late in the last month. Nicks had a good

155
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,160
Speaker 2: game against them week six. That's before he broke out,

156
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:07,360
Speaker 2: and that's before the Chargers defense really started struggling. So yeah,

157
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 2: I'm excited for bow Knicks this week, not at all

158
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:10,480
Speaker 2: for Justin Herbert.

159
00:07:10,560 --> 00:07:13,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm pretty much out on Herbert on Fantasy Live.

160
00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:15,200
Speaker 1: I named him as one of the risky starts of

161
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,480
Speaker 1: the week. Just you mentioned that game in Week six.

162
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,080
Speaker 1: He gave you about thirteen point six Fantasy points in

163
00:07:20,120 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: that one, and you talk about Nicks. I think that

164
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: was when we started to realize that, oh, maybe there's

165
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:28,320
Speaker 1: something there with bow Knicks. And I feel like, because

166
00:07:28,320 --> 00:07:29,960
Speaker 1: he's gonna run a little bit more, I think he

167
00:07:29,960 --> 00:07:31,640
Speaker 1: gets out of the pocket, I think that gives him

168
00:07:31,680 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 1: a little bit of a higher floor for the Chargers

169
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:37,920
Speaker 1: passing game wise, lately, it's really kind of been Lad

170
00:07:38,080 --> 00:07:41,840
Speaker 1: mcconky and that's it. They can't run the football. There's

171
00:07:41,880 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 1: just more going on right now in the Denver offense,

172
00:07:44,280 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: So I would go with Nicks over Herbert in this

173
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: one if you're setting a DFS lineup, for instance, in

174
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: that situation. We have two Saturday games coming up this

175
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:56,880
Speaker 1: week as well, the first one the Texans at the

176
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,040
Speaker 1: Kansas City Chiefs. How many players are you comfortable starting

177
00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,400
Speaker 1: in this game on either side? Really?

178
00:08:03,520 --> 00:08:06,760
Speaker 2: Man, if you ask me this in anyone this in

179
00:08:06,800 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 2: like week before the season, we'd be like, everyone, get

180
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:09,840
Speaker 2: them all.

181
00:08:10,600 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, I wrote.

182
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:13,920
Speaker 4: Start sit this week. I have mahomes as a sit.

183
00:08:14,200 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 2: But Checko as they sit, de Hop as they sit,

184
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,720
Speaker 2: Travis Kelcey as they sit like I.

185
00:08:18,920 --> 00:08:21,320
Speaker 4: I because Patrick Mahomes is.

186
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,920
Speaker 2: We were joking about this before the show, like he's

187
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:25,000
Speaker 2: gonna try to play this week.

188
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 4: This is what he does.

189
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:27,760
Speaker 3: He has a lot of lebron in him.

190
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,640
Speaker 4: He likes to late in the years, sell some injuries

191
00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:31,480
Speaker 4: and then play through them.

192
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:33,880
Speaker 2: But I do believe this ankle injury is going to

193
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:37,040
Speaker 2: be a factor here because not only is he hobbled

194
00:08:37,120 --> 00:08:40,440
Speaker 2: up eleven or more QB hits in three straight games

195
00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,480
Speaker 2: like that was happened three times in his first one

196
00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,960
Speaker 2: hundred and twenty five career starts, so that a line

197
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:48,280
Speaker 2: issue is a big deal, and the Texans generate pressure

198
00:08:48,280 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 2: at the third highest rate. On the Texan side, Nico

199
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 2: Collins is the only must star. I think you you

200
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: talked about Joe Mixon on Fantasy Live. I feel like,

201
00:08:57,160 --> 00:08:59,760
Speaker 2: if you have mix in, you probably gotta start him. Yeah,

202
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:02,199
Speaker 2: but it depends on your options. But yeah, like the

203
00:09:02,280 --> 00:09:04,400
Speaker 2: Chiefs have been elite at stopping the run this season.

204
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:04,640
Speaker 3: They have.

205
00:09:04,760 --> 00:09:06,800
Speaker 1: I mean, Joe Mixon's schedule down the stretch is not

206
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,160
Speaker 1: great because they got the Chiefs this week, the Ravens

207
00:09:09,200 --> 00:09:11,600
Speaker 1: and the Titans for you weirdos who are playing like

208
00:09:11,679 --> 00:09:14,920
Speaker 1: DFS or something in Week eighteen. Either way, it's just

209
00:09:14,960 --> 00:09:17,240
Speaker 1: a bad setup for Joe Mixon. But because he's been

210
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:20,640
Speaker 1: so good, it's just hard to get away from him

211
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:22,960
Speaker 1: at this point. But it is not a good situation.

212
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:26,000
Speaker 1: I'm with you. Nico Collins is the only guy that

213
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,480
Speaker 1: I feel any real level of confidence in.

214
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:31,400
Speaker 4: And even he had like seventeen yards last.

215
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, like, yeah, It's it's been rough for the Texans

216
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:37,800
Speaker 1: offense and the matchup is bad on both sides of

217
00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: the football. This week a big one in the AFC

218
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: North between the Steelers and the Ravens. Derrick Henry not

219
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: great last week. The Steelers run defense has been good.

220
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,560
Speaker 1: We know that when these two teams played, generally there's

221
00:09:50,559 --> 00:09:53,079
Speaker 1: not a whole lot of offense. Can you envision a

222
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 1: Derek Henry bounce back, Yes, easily, Like he's Dereck Henry,

223
00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 1: I mean against any he is the capability of going off.

224
00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,240
Speaker 4: But like the first time these two teams played, Derek

225
00:10:05,320 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 4: Henry fumbled and it was like his first fumble in

226
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:08,439
Speaker 4: like three years or.

227
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,560
Speaker 3: Something crazy like that.

228
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,559
Speaker 2: So this game being in Baltimore, and I think Derek

229
00:10:13,600 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 2: Henry was brought in four games like this being like,

230
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,920
Speaker 2: look it as awesome as Lamar is. He has historically

231
00:10:19,960 --> 00:10:22,600
Speaker 2: struggled against the Steelers defense. You want to take as

232
00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 2: much pressure away from him and take responsibilities off of

233
00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:28,360
Speaker 2: his plate. And a great way of doing that is

234
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,120
Speaker 2: just feeding Derek Henry, who hasn't had a Derek Henry

235
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:32,320
Speaker 2: game in a little bit.

236
00:10:32,559 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 3: That that could change this week.

237
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:36,920
Speaker 1: You're right to the point about him being brought in

238
00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:41,400
Speaker 1: for these games, right, We've seen so much in his career. November, December,

239
00:10:41,559 --> 00:10:43,839
Speaker 1: January is when he gets stronger. I mean, look, part

240
00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,679
Speaker 1: of it is you're talking about trying to tackle literally

241
00:10:46,720 --> 00:10:49,320
Speaker 1: a tank in cold weather. You get a lot of

242
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,760
Speaker 1: defensive backs making business decisions here. But also to take

243
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,200
Speaker 1: some of that pressure off of Lamar Jackson, so he's

244
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,800
Speaker 1: not having a shoulder so much of a burden running

245
00:10:57,800 --> 00:11:00,240
Speaker 1: the football, throwing the football. He's been great with his

246
00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,319
Speaker 1: arm this year. Now he's got the guy behind him

247
00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:04,240
Speaker 1: to take some of the pressure off. I don't think

248
00:11:04,280 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a huge Derrick Henry game, but I

249
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:10,760
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be better than what we've seen kind

250
00:11:10,760 --> 00:11:12,439
Speaker 1: of the last couple of weeks where it's been kind

251
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:14,160
Speaker 1: of mess so I think you get somewhere in between.

252
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: Look if you get say ten to twelve points out

253
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: of Derrick Henry, I think that's pretty good against the

254
00:11:19,600 --> 00:11:22,240
Speaker 1: Steelers defense. I don't think you're gonna get one of those,

255
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:25,040
Speaker 1: you know, twenty twenty five point Derek Henry games like

256
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: we were seeing earlier in the season, and he's going

257
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,600
Speaker 1: with three straight games I believe it is without a touchdown.

258
00:11:30,520 --> 00:11:31,040
Speaker 3: I need him to.

259
00:11:31,120 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 2: We have a Fantasy Live playoff the draft going on,

260
00:11:34,120 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 2: which will have fun with later in the year.

261
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:37,120
Speaker 3: I need Dereck Henry.

262
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,079
Speaker 2: He didn't come through for me last week, which was

263
00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:41,400
Speaker 2: a game I thought it'd be the Dereck Henry games.

264
00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:44,199
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll see what happens. But it should be

265
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:48,520
Speaker 1: an interesting one though against the Steelers. Always entertaining when

266
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:50,480
Speaker 1: these two teams play, and now you can see that.

267
00:11:50,520 --> 00:11:54,160
Speaker 1: Of course. On Saturday, there on Fox Time to talk

268
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:57,120
Speaker 1: about some sleepers for the week. Who is your player

269
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:59,560
Speaker 1: for this this segment of the show.

270
00:11:59,520 --> 00:12:03,680
Speaker 2: I went with a mirror Abdullah, who I'm more excited

271
00:12:03,720 --> 00:12:07,320
Speaker 2: about than I probably should be. Last week, after Sinceinna

272
00:12:07,360 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 2: McCormick got hurt, he played more snaps than Alexander Madison.

273
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,520
Speaker 2: He had seven targets and that led to him scoring

274
00:12:13,600 --> 00:12:17,120
Speaker 2: nineteen Fantasy points and in the game prior to Sincere

275
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,720
Speaker 2: McCormick's breakout, he had seventeen Fantasy points there as well.

276
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,840
Speaker 2: The Jags top three and fantasy points per game allowed,

277
00:12:23,880 --> 00:12:26,840
Speaker 2: but also in the top five and catches, receiving yards

278
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,559
Speaker 2: and receiving touchdowns allowed to running backs, and he is

279
00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 2: their past catching back.

280
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:30,920
Speaker 3: Yeah.

281
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:32,640
Speaker 1: I look, we have been trying to make it happen

282
00:12:32,640 --> 00:12:35,280
Speaker 1: with a Raiders running back all season long, whether it

283
00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:39,760
Speaker 1: was Samir Whites, Alexander Madison, Abdullah. At one point Sincera McCormick.

284
00:12:39,800 --> 00:12:44,240
Speaker 1: Now want to be going to be Sincere McCormick. Well,

285
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 1: now we're back to a mirror of Doula here and

286
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,800
Speaker 1: the matchup, the matchup the rest of the way for

287
00:12:47,920 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 1: Raiders running backs is really really good. So we'll see

288
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:53,840
Speaker 1: if Abdullah can take advantage of that. For me, gonna

289
00:12:53,840 --> 00:12:55,840
Speaker 1: be Briton Strange, and I know a lot of you

290
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:59,400
Speaker 1: out there are what exactly is a Breton Strange. He's

291
00:12:59,440 --> 00:13:02,280
Speaker 1: designed in the Jacksonville Jaguars. Now that Evan Ingram is

292
00:13:02,320 --> 00:13:05,480
Speaker 1: done for the season, Strange steps in and gets a

293
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:08,120
Speaker 1: whole lot more opportunity. We saw it last week with

294
00:13:08,280 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: twelve targets for Briton Strange. He finished the week as

295
00:13:12,120 --> 00:13:15,480
Speaker 1: the tight end two. You'll be forgiven if you were

296
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:17,640
Speaker 1: not aware of that, because I mean, who was checking

297
00:13:17,640 --> 00:13:20,000
Speaker 1: for Brenton Strange. On the one hand, it might feel

298
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:23,520
Speaker 1: like chasing points a little bit, but he's getting a

299
00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: whole lot more opportunity. Mac Jones is going to be

300
00:13:26,280 --> 00:13:28,679
Speaker 1: the quarterback for the rest of the season, not necessarily

301
00:13:28,720 --> 00:13:31,480
Speaker 1: pushing the ball downfield. There's not a lot of options here.

302
00:13:31,520 --> 00:13:34,040
Speaker 1: I mean, it's Brian Thomas Junior and then it looks

303
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,439
Speaker 1: like Britain Strange accruiting to be in the second option

304
00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,680
Speaker 1: in the passing game here. It's a really good matchup

305
00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: against the Raiders, who struggled against the tight end position

306
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:43,280
Speaker 1: all season long. So while on the one hand, yes,

307
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,079
Speaker 1: maybe it does feel like chasing the points a little bit,

308
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:47,840
Speaker 1: on the other hand, you can make a really strong

309
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,360
Speaker 1: case that there's just really a lot of opportunity here

310
00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: in this passing game because there aren't a lot of

311
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:56,160
Speaker 1: places for Mac Jones to go with the football. So

312
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:59,679
Speaker 1: Briton Strange a very deep sleeper at tight end. But

313
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,360
Speaker 1: if you need to stream the position this week, or

314
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:04,600
Speaker 1: you just kind of want to contrariy and play written,

315
00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:07,720
Speaker 1: Strange could be your guy for the Jacksonville Jaguars. I

316
00:14:07,800 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 1: gonna step away for a quick break. We come back.

317
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:11,400
Speaker 1: We got some hot starts for the week, and I

318
00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,080
Speaker 1: look at some more out of the week sixteen game slate.

319
00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:16,240
Speaker 1: That's all coming up next here on the NFL Fantasy

320
00:14:16,280 --> 00:14:24,520
Speaker 1: Football Show, It's time to see who will deliver? Presented

321
00:14:24,520 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: by Uber Eats. Who is your hot start for this week?

322
00:14:27,680 --> 00:14:29,120
Speaker 4: I'm excited for lad McConkie.

323
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,840
Speaker 3: How did you say it?

324
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 1: On Fantasy Luis led mcconkin.

325
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm excited because in his last four games seventeen

326
00:14:35,640 --> 00:14:37,440
Speaker 2: point five fantasy points per game.

327
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:39,880
Speaker 3: He runs two thirds of his routes from the slot.

328
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 2: So I don't think we're gonna get Patrick's ten shadowing

329
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:44,040
Speaker 2: him or anything like that.

330
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,040
Speaker 3: Sir Ten operates out wide.

331
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:49,520
Speaker 2: And then, to get even more excited, the Broncos use

332
00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,000
Speaker 2: man coverage at the fifth highest rate in the NFL.

333
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:56,280
Speaker 2: The only wide receivers with more yards against man coverage

334
00:14:56,320 --> 00:14:58,520
Speaker 2: this year AJ Brown and C.

335
00:14:58,680 --> 00:14:59,240
Speaker 3: D Lamb.

336
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:02,120
Speaker 2: It is just a the lead company for Ladi McConkie,

337
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 2: who has quickly become the go to guy for Justin Herbert.

338
00:15:05,360 --> 00:15:07,360
Speaker 2: So I don't love the quarterback there, but I love

339
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 2: Ladi mcconk.

340
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:10,280
Speaker 1: That's the beauty of this is that the quarterback doesn't

341
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:12,440
Speaker 1: necessarily have to have a great day for the wide

342
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:15,479
Speaker 1: receiver to have a great day. And McConkie has consistently

343
00:15:15,520 --> 00:15:18,240
Speaker 1: been the wide receiver one, which is something I sort

344
00:15:18,240 --> 00:15:19,840
Speaker 1: of assum's going to happen there. Just there was just

345
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: a big void there in Los Angeles, and McConkie has

346
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:27,120
Speaker 1: filled it very well, stepping in, you know, Mike Williams gone,

347
00:15:27,160 --> 00:15:30,960
Speaker 1: Keenan Allen gone, Gerald Ever gone. Lad McConkie has filled

348
00:15:30,960 --> 00:15:34,680
Speaker 1: the void very well. Speaking of young receivers stepping up,

349
00:15:35,280 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 1: Jackson Smith and Jigba and you and I talked about

350
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:42,520
Speaker 1: this on Fantasy Live. Look, he looks like the new

351
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:46,480
Speaker 1: wide receiver one in Seattle. I thought coming into the

352
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: year that he was going to pass Tyler Lockett to

353
00:15:48,840 --> 00:15:52,160
Speaker 1: be the wide receiver too. That has certainly happened. Lockett

354
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: has not been very effective this year, but Jayson might

355
00:15:55,120 --> 00:15:59,040
Speaker 1: have surpassed DK Metcalf as the go to guy in

356
00:15:59,080 --> 00:16:03,120
Speaker 1: this Seattle past game. It's nice they've been working some things.

357
00:16:02,960 --> 00:16:03,640
Speaker 3: Out Ryan Grubb.

358
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:05,960
Speaker 1: You're talking about Ryan Grubb's offense maybe not hitting the

359
00:16:05,960 --> 00:16:09,480
Speaker 1: way we thought it would. He has certainly unlocked JSN

360
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: though that was something that Shane Waldron was not able

361
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,440
Speaker 1: to do last year in Seattle, throwing the fact that

362
00:16:14,480 --> 00:16:16,760
Speaker 1: he's working primarily out of the slot, going against a

363
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: Vikings defense that has given up a lot of yards,

364
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:22,520
Speaker 1: not necessarily a lot of touchdowns through the air, but

365
00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: a lot of yards and especially a lot of yards

366
00:16:25,800 --> 00:16:28,920
Speaker 1: to slot receivers. We saw last week Keenan Allen go out,

367
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,720
Speaker 1: have a really nice fantasy game against this Vikings defense.

368
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: I think regardless of whether it is Gino Smith or

369
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,000
Speaker 1: Sam Howell, I think you can expect good things out

370
00:16:38,040 --> 00:16:40,920
Speaker 1: of JSN. The Gino I like it a little bit better,

371
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,320
Speaker 1: but I still think Sam Howell finds a way to

372
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:46,600
Speaker 1: get Smith in Jigba of the football. And I mean

373
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:49,000
Speaker 1: you weren't not starting him at this point. I mean

374
00:16:49,040 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: he's been too good. But now I think you can

375
00:16:51,320 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: expect a pretty good game coming out of him. This week.

376
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:57,560
Speaker 1: That was Who Will Deliver presented by Uber Eats, where

377
00:16:57,560 --> 00:16:59,560
Speaker 1: you can get the best deals on game day food

378
00:16:59,640 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: all season long, the official on demand delivery partner of

379
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: the NFL Order Now Eagles at the Commanders. Last time

380
00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: these teams played, Jayden Daniels did not have a great game.

381
00:17:10,440 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: The Eagles have been tough on quarterbacks all year long.

382
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:16,240
Speaker 1: Would you trust starting Jaden Daniels against Philly this week?

383
00:17:17,840 --> 00:17:18,800
Speaker 3: You know who you're asking?

384
00:17:19,280 --> 00:17:21,120
Speaker 1: I just look, I'm just trying to help the people here.

385
00:17:21,040 --> 00:17:23,359
Speaker 2: Okay, And look, I've gotten a lot of questions this

386
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,840
Speaker 2: week about about it, and I do yes. I know

387
00:17:26,920 --> 00:17:29,560
Speaker 2: he struggled the first time they played, but context like

388
00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:31,840
Speaker 2: they came out after the game and we're like, his

389
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 2: ribs weren't an issue, But if you watch that game

390
00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,080
Speaker 2: on Thursday Night Football a few weeks ago, the ribs

391
00:17:37,119 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 2: were clearly an issue for Jayde and Daniels. Since he

392
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,320
Speaker 2: had that mini by to recover and then the real buy,

393
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:45,520
Speaker 2: He's averaged twenty seven Fantasy points per game in games

394
00:17:45,560 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 2: since that Eagles game.

395
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:50,320
Speaker 3: He is running more. Him and Terry McLaurin feel.

396
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:53,439
Speaker 2: Safe for like a touchdown or two each and every week,

397
00:17:53,800 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 2: and even more than that. Look at the state of

398
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 2: the quarterback position right now. We have so many teams

399
00:17:58,880 --> 00:18:01,320
Speaker 2: playing backups, and then we have guys like Brock Perdy

400
00:18:01,400 --> 00:18:03,920
Speaker 2: and Tua who were like more fringe options, are in

401
00:18:03,960 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 2: tough matchup, Like what are you gonna play Aaron Rodgers

402
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,880
Speaker 2: over him? Like I am riding with Jayde and Daniels

403
00:18:08,920 --> 00:18:09,920
Speaker 2: until the wheels fall off.

404
00:18:10,040 --> 00:18:11,480
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I just think there's a way for

405
00:18:11,600 --> 00:18:13,720
Speaker 1: him to succeed, and it doesn't necessarily have to be

406
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,560
Speaker 1: with his arm. It's nice if you throw the football,

407
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 1: you get Terry McLaurin involved.

408
00:18:18,400 --> 00:18:18,960
Speaker 3: Or what have you.

409
00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 1: But we know he can break out of the pocket

410
00:18:20,640 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 1: and run and that always gives him some value. So

411
00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,840
Speaker 1: I'm sort of with you there, right regardless of what

412
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: Philly's done, regardless of what happened the last time around,

413
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:31,440
Speaker 1: I can't get away from Jayden Daniels at this point.

414
00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:34,800
Speaker 2: Plus it's in Washington this go around, and he saw

415
00:18:34,880 --> 00:18:35,960
Speaker 2: them a few weeks ago.

416
00:18:36,359 --> 00:18:37,720
Speaker 3: I don't know. Reason for optimism.

417
00:18:38,200 --> 00:18:40,120
Speaker 1: Is he a top five quarterback pick next year?

418
00:18:40,359 --> 00:18:40,800
Speaker 3: I think so.

419
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, Like we were talking about it on Monday, but

420
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,560
Speaker 2: I think the top five is pretty secure.

421
00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,120
Speaker 4: In Alan Lamar, I think those are the top two.

422
00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 2: No questions asked, Jalen Hurts, Joe burrow Man, Joe Burrow

423
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:53,560
Speaker 2: and Jayde and Daniels.

424
00:18:53,600 --> 00:18:55,200
Speaker 1: I think those are the top five. Yeah, I think

425
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:56,840
Speaker 1: I think that's probably where we are right now with

426
00:18:57,240 --> 00:19:00,920
Speaker 1: Jayde and Daniels. Sunday Night Football, Buccaneers at the Cowboys.

427
00:19:01,600 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Mike Evans on his quest for one thousand yards see

428
00:19:04,800 --> 00:19:07,480
Speaker 1: right now is two hundred and fifty one yards away.

429
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,119
Speaker 1: Let's put it at seventy two and a half receiving

430
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:12,679
Speaker 1: yards more or less for Mike Evan way more. All right,

431
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:13,400
Speaker 1: we're going to the moon.

432
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 2: I think he goes off because there's incentive to be

433
00:19:16,240 --> 00:19:18,760
Speaker 2: had here. One the Cowboys have allowed the most passing

434
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:22,119
Speaker 2: yards since Week eleven. To Baker Mayfield is playing really

435
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,679
Speaker 2: good football, and look, I'm not saying he deserves to

436
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:26,600
Speaker 2: win it, but I think maybe we should have a

437
00:19:26,600 --> 00:19:29,879
Speaker 2: conversation like should Baker be in the conversation for MVP,

438
00:19:30,080 --> 00:19:32,760
Speaker 2: like as like the fourth or fifth candidate something like that.

439
00:19:33,160 --> 00:19:37,320
Speaker 2: But yeah, like there's incentive here they want. The Bucks

440
00:19:37,359 --> 00:19:40,000
Speaker 2: are just as like they want to get Mike Evans

441
00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,160
Speaker 2: one thousand yards, just as bad as Mike Evans wants

442
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:44,399
Speaker 2: to get a thousand yards. So I think they're going

443
00:19:44,440 --> 00:19:45,880
Speaker 2: to force feed in the ball.

444
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:46,840
Speaker 3: Every week going forward.

445
00:19:47,119 --> 00:19:50,840
Speaker 1: He's got an average about eighty three yards per game,

446
00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:53,600
Speaker 1: little more than eighty three yards per game to get

447
00:19:53,640 --> 00:19:56,560
Speaker 1: there over the final three games. That seems very doable,

448
00:19:57,040 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: in part because, as you mentioned, I do think the

449
00:19:58,840 --> 00:20:00,760
Speaker 1: Bucks want to keep this street going. We know Mike

450
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 1: Evans wants to keep this streak going, but also look,

451
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:05,959
Speaker 1: they still trying to lock up the division, and to

452
00:20:06,119 --> 00:20:08,359
Speaker 1: do that, you gotta get your best player of the football,

453
00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:10,280
Speaker 1: and Mike Evans is their best offensive player.

454
00:20:10,320 --> 00:20:12,080
Speaker 2: What I love about the Bucks is they're kind of

455
00:20:12,119 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 2: like the Ravens and the Lions. Like, no matter what

456
00:20:14,440 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 2: the score is, they're gonna keep throwing. Yes, Like, yeah,

457
00:20:17,400 --> 00:20:19,239
Speaker 2: that's just what they do. This is just what we do.

458
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:20,479
Speaker 2: They're gonna keep throwing the football.

459
00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 3: So I'm with you.

460
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 1: I think Mike Evans goes over that number. I know.

461
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: Earlier in the week, Patrick Claybound suggested that he's gonna

462
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:30,159
Speaker 1: get pretty close, pretty far along the path to one

463
00:20:30,200 --> 00:20:33,320
Speaker 1: thousand yards this week against the Cowboys coming up. We'll

464
00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:35,919
Speaker 1: see how that goes. Hey, we're for one fifty nine

465
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: last week against the Chargers. So not a crazy idea

466
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:39,280
Speaker 1: at all.

467
00:20:39,720 --> 00:20:40,720
Speaker 3: Monday Night football.

468
00:20:40,840 --> 00:20:44,199
Speaker 1: It is the Saints at the Packers. I know, to

469
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 1: choose your fighter here, Jayden Reid, Christian Watson or Romeo Dobbs.

470
00:20:50,520 --> 00:20:52,400
Speaker 3: I I hate that this has.

471
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: Become a thing because, like, I want Jayden Reid to

472
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:57,800
Speaker 2: be the guy so bad, and that's the one I'll

473
00:20:57,840 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 2: pick here because the matchup against the Saints, Like, I

474
00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,920
Speaker 2: think that you could just generate a lot of short,

475
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:05,200
Speaker 2: quick touches for Jayden.

476
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:06,159
Speaker 3: Reid and let him run wild.

477
00:21:06,560 --> 00:21:09,359
Speaker 2: He could get used as a ball carrier as well.

478
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:12,840
Speaker 2: The other two kind of eat off of each other's place.

479
00:21:12,960 --> 00:21:15,359
Speaker 2: Like Reid has a role as a the lead slot

480
00:21:15,400 --> 00:21:17,919
Speaker 2: guy here and the guy that they manufactured touches for

481
00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:21,400
Speaker 2: the other two. It's kind of a guessing game week

482
00:21:21,440 --> 00:21:23,760
Speaker 2: to week, so I don't really love.

483
00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:26,960
Speaker 1: Going that route. Yeah, you know, we noticed last week

484
00:21:27,080 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: they did get a lot more rushing attempts for Jaden Reed,

485
00:21:29,760 --> 00:21:31,520
Speaker 1: which is a thing they had kind of gotten away

486
00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 1: from over the previous few weeks, but they kind of

487
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: started getting him back going again. And it's Reed and

488
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: not Deebo Samuel that leads all wide receivers and rushing

489
00:21:39,400 --> 00:21:43,480
Speaker 1: yards this year. So dry Landebo legitimately is a thing

490
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:45,800
Speaker 1: this season. I still think he's the guy if I'm

491
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:47,960
Speaker 1: picking between the three, if I'm putting together a daily

492
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:50,760
Speaker 1: fantasy lineup, I'm picking Reed. He's probably the guy that

493
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:52,800
Speaker 1: is gonna cost you the most, but he's also the

494
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:56,760
Speaker 1: guy that seems the most guaranteed. They got a lot

495
00:21:56,760 --> 00:22:00,000
Speaker 1: of opportunities over the course of the game. So there

496
00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:04,200
Speaker 1: is any Saints, is it? You know? He states any

497
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,560
Speaker 1: states that we really like. I mean, we don't know

498
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,440
Speaker 1: what Alvin Kamara's situation is just yet.

499
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,400
Speaker 4: I was gonna say maybe Kendre Miller, and that's it.

500
00:22:10,400 --> 00:22:13,840
Speaker 1: It's bad. It's bleak, especially with word that Derek Carr

501
00:22:13,880 --> 00:22:15,359
Speaker 1: probably done for the rest of the season.

502
00:22:15,480 --> 00:22:17,560
Speaker 2: Like, I think Alvin Kamara just wants to not he

503
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 2: wants to hang out with his friends, and none of

504
00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:20,879
Speaker 2: his friends are on the field right now, so he's like,

505
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:21,600
Speaker 2: what am I gonna do?

506
00:22:21,720 --> 00:22:23,240
Speaker 1: I get it, I get it. We all just want

507
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,480
Speaker 1: to hang out with our friends at some point. If

508
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: you want to see the rest of our Week sixteen

509
00:22:27,920 --> 00:22:30,960
Speaker 1: game previews, you can check us out on Fantasy Extra

510
00:22:31,080 --> 00:22:33,880
Speaker 1: over on NFL Plus. Be sure to take check that out.

511
00:22:34,320 --> 00:22:36,439
Speaker 1: It's time to drive your line. I'm presented by the

512
00:22:36,480 --> 00:22:40,479
Speaker 1: all new hybrid Toyota. Camry Florio gets spicy. What's your

513
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:41,359
Speaker 1: hot take for the week?

514
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:45,600
Speaker 2: The player who cannot catch a touchdown at all? Trey

515
00:22:45,680 --> 00:22:50,960
Speaker 2: McBride scores not one, but two touchdowns this week because

516
00:22:51,440 --> 00:22:53,560
Speaker 2: I think the look the Cardinals, just like you, know

517
00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:56,320
Speaker 2: that he doesn't have a touchdown, and he's quickly approaching

518
00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 2: all the records or most catches and yards and everything

519
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 2: in a season without a touchdown. The Cardinals are aware

520
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:03,800
Speaker 2: of this, and they tried getting him a touchdown on

521
00:23:03,840 --> 00:23:06,240
Speaker 2: a manufacturer touch on the goal line last week. It

522
00:23:06,359 --> 00:23:09,040
Speaker 2: didn't work. I think we get something like that early

523
00:23:09,080 --> 00:23:11,240
Speaker 2: on in the game, and then I think mcbrid just

524
00:23:11,280 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 2: catches a routine touchdown because no team has allowed more

525
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:18,399
Speaker 2: to the tight end position than the Carolina Panthers. And

526
00:23:18,440 --> 00:23:21,000
Speaker 2: despite not having a touchdown, he's still giving you twenty

527
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Speaker 2: fantasy points weer game in the last month. So imagine

528
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:24,959
Speaker 2: what he could do if he catches a touchdown or two.

529
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, he just said once he breaks the seal,

530
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,639
Speaker 1: then I think touchdowns are just gonna come. But you know,

531
00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,760
Speaker 1: they gotta fight away four in the final two days.

532
00:23:30,880 --> 00:23:32,520
Speaker 1: Gonna fight away to get that first one, and then

533
00:23:32,600 --> 00:23:36,000
Speaker 1: we're off and running from there. Along those lines, Isaay

534
00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:39,960
Speaker 1: Cooper cup catches two touchdown passes because why not. The

535
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: overcorrection is coming right. He had just three targets no

536
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:46,000
Speaker 1: catches last week against the San Francisco forty nine ers.

537
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,159
Speaker 1: Matt Stafford's not gonna let his boy go out like

538
00:23:48,200 --> 00:23:50,400
Speaker 1: that two games in a row. They're gonna figure out

539
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:52,000
Speaker 1: a way to get it done. Throw in the fact

540
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: that the Jets secondary has not been great for the

541
00:23:55,040 --> 00:23:58,840
Speaker 1: last few weeks. We saw last week I was Brian

542
00:23:58,920 --> 00:24:00,960
Speaker 1: Thomas Junior doing some work from the slot had a

543
00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:04,080
Speaker 1: couple of touchdown catches against the Jets. So look, I

544
00:24:04,080 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: think Pooka the Cooystal eats. If you're worried that one

545
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:07,920
Speaker 1: guy's going to eat in the other one, well, I

546
00:24:07,920 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: think both Pooka and Cooper Cup can have good games.

547
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,880
Speaker 1: But for everybody who survived the bagel or had the buye,

548
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:15,959
Speaker 1: this is when Cooper Cup comes to life for you.

549
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:19,639
Speaker 1: This week. That was Drive Your Lineup, presented by the

550
00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:22,639
Speaker 1: all new hybrid Toyota Camra. Whatever your vibe, it's a

552
00:24:26,720 --> 00:24:28,960
Speaker 1: Before we get out of here, want to take a

553
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:32,320
Speaker 1: moment to say goodbye to a member of our team.

554

557
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:43,720

Speaker 3: You know the drill.

565

Speaker 1: Tell tell two friends to tell two friends rate review.

566
