1
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:14,880
Speaker 1: Everybody. It's Wednesday in November two. Welcome to the NFL

2
00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:17,880
Speaker 1: Fantasy Football Show. It's Made your Man named g Marcus Grant,

3
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:20,960
Speaker 1: joined by Michael left Florio and the specialist Castle Douzens.

4
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:22,639
Speaker 1: And I was put on this show ah and every

5
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:25,560
Speaker 1: week and it's the day before Thanksgiving. I don't got

6
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:27,720
Speaker 1: a lot to talk about on this show, but Thanksgiving

7
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: it's it might be a bonanza for football fans because

8
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: you sit around, you eat, you watch football. I don't

9
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,240
Speaker 1: know if there's a better day on the NFL calendar

10
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,320
Speaker 1: than Thanksgiving. I outside of maybe the Super Bowl, I

11
00:00:38,320 --> 00:00:40,479
Speaker 1: don't think there is, like especially out here on the

12
00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:44,400
Speaker 1: West Coast, because like nine thirty am games are starting,

13
00:00:44,440 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: like you just wake up and it's go time. It's

14
00:00:46,560 --> 00:00:48,840
Speaker 1: go time, and you know, I know for folks around

15
00:00:48,840 --> 00:00:51,639
Speaker 1: the country, I'm sure, I'm sure people enjoy fall. It's

16
00:00:51,640 --> 00:00:53,639
Speaker 1: supposed to be a toasty seventy eight degrees in Los

17
00:00:53,680 --> 00:00:56,160
Speaker 1: Angeles on Thanksgiving, so I'm gonna be probably wearing shorts

18
00:00:56,200 --> 00:00:58,440
Speaker 1: while I'm cooking and watching the Year of the Early Game.

19
00:00:58,760 --> 00:01:01,200
Speaker 1: It's not bad, not at all, not bad at all.

20
00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 1: We got played to talk about. We'll do our heroes

21
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,840
Speaker 1: and villains are Week twelve game previews, some sleepers trade targets,

22
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:09,479
Speaker 1: and some players that we are thankful for this year.

23
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:11,479
Speaker 1: So a whole lot to get too, So let's jump

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 1: right in. We will start with some fantasy headlines. News

25
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,200
Speaker 1: out of Chicago. Justin Fields has been clear to practice.

26
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,040
Speaker 1: He's listed as day to day with these shoulder injuries.

27
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:24,160
Speaker 1: So a simple question here, if Fields goes for the

28
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:27,240
Speaker 1: Bears this week, do you have any hesitation in starting him? No,

29
00:01:27,440 --> 00:01:30,600
Speaker 1: I would be playing Justin Fields everywhere that I have him.

30
00:01:30,640 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: I have him on a few of my rosters myself,

31
00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:35,440
Speaker 1: and like maybe if I had if I if I

32
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:37,840
Speaker 1: have a luxury of like, hey I have Justin Fields

33
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,600
Speaker 1: and like a two or Hurts or an Alan, But realistically,

34
00:01:41,640 --> 00:01:44,280
Speaker 1: who has that scenario and a lot of situation maybe

35
00:01:44,360 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: him versus Lamar, And then I think that's a situation

36
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:49,040
Speaker 1: where you could go with Lamar. But outside of that,

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,480
Speaker 1: like you're not gonna be playing any other quarterback over

38
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:55,440
Speaker 1: Justin Fields. He's been so good. I would even in

39
00:01:55,440 --> 00:01:57,760
Speaker 1: a tough matchup with him banged up, I would start him.

40
00:01:57,800 --> 00:01:58,960
Speaker 1: That was the first place I went with all the

41
00:01:58,960 --> 00:02:01,920
Speaker 1: people who asked us about Lamar versus Fields last week.

42
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,760
Speaker 1: So I guess this week maybe you can pivot to

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: Lamar potentially if you're really concerned about it, But otherwise,

44
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:08,760
Speaker 1: I'm with you. He's been so good, He's playing so

45
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,720
Speaker 1: well right now that it really is hard for me

46
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:13,440
Speaker 1: to get away from Justin Fields. Big news out of

47
00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:16,880
Speaker 1: the Big Apple the Jets are benching quarterback Zack Wilson.

48
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:19,000
Speaker 1: In fact, not only are they benching him, he's expected

49
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:22,080
Speaker 1: to be inactive this week for the Jets. Instead, it's

50
00:02:22,120 --> 00:02:24,239
Speaker 1: gonna be Mike White who gets to start against the

51
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,200
Speaker 1: Chicago Bears this Sunday. How does this make you feel

52
00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,119
Speaker 1: about the other pieces in the Jets offense. I don't

53
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,000
Speaker 1: know if people would expect this hearing at quarterback change,

54
00:02:33,040 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: but I think the big winner here is Michael Carter,

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,760
Speaker 1: who has been even since James Robinson arrived. He's ran

56
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:41,200
Speaker 1: by far the most routes out of the backfield, has

57
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:44,959
Speaker 1: by far the most targets, and last year with Mike White,

58
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:48,320
Speaker 1: Carter was averaging nineteen Fantasy points per game on nearly

59
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,400
Speaker 1: eight targets per game. UH and Mike White as a

60
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:54,239
Speaker 1: pastor just average six points to air yards per tempt.

61
00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 1: Seventeen percent of his passes were not even to the

62
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:01,720
Speaker 1: line of scrimmage. Of the went to the backfield, he

63
00:03:01,919 --> 00:03:05,120
Speaker 1: only threw six percent of his passes down field unless

64
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:07,400
Speaker 1: than half of his passes where of ten plus eight yards.

65
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: So while I do think this helps the Jets receivers,

66
00:03:10,520 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: I still think Joe Flacco would be the best case

67
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,920
Speaker 1: for them. Uh and I think Michael Carter wins here

68
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,400
Speaker 1: in The ironic part here is that Zach Wilson is

69
00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 1: benched because he won too many games. Like he's played terribly.

70
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,840
Speaker 1: Don't don't get it wrong, but if the Jets didn't

71
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:26,040
Speaker 1: go like five and two in the games that he started,

72
00:03:26,240 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Zach Wilson starts the rest of the year. I think

73
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,240
Speaker 1: exactly this is what's happening. Because the Jets are in

74
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:32,720
Speaker 1: playoff contention. They don't want this to get away, So

75
00:03:32,840 --> 00:03:35,280
Speaker 1: here we are making a quarterback change. You're right, if

76
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,120
Speaker 1: the Jets were what three and seven or whatever it is,

77
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,560
Speaker 1: they probably keep letting Zack Wilson trying to figure it

78
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,000
Speaker 1: out on his own. But they've got a chance to

79
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,600
Speaker 1: make the postseason, so they make that move. I didn't

80
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 1: love Garrett Wilson coming into this game. The Bears have

81
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:50,000
Speaker 1: been very good against passing games, terrible against the run.

82
00:03:50,320 --> 00:03:52,720
Speaker 1: I don't know that this change makes me feel particularly

83
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:55,960
Speaker 1: better about it. I might still give Tyler Conklin a

84
00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:58,840
Speaker 1: little bit of run, but even that, I'm not super

85
00:03:58,840 --> 00:04:01,360
Speaker 1: excited about what the quarterback changed. So maybe it is

86
00:04:01,400 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: Michael Carter and kind of nobody else for the Jets

87
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: offense this week. Over here in Los Angeles, the Rams

88
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:12,119
Speaker 1: on Tuesday waived running back Darrel Henderson Jr. He only

89
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,160
Speaker 1: has three touchdowns this season. Right now, it's Cam Akers

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:19,400
Speaker 1: and Kyron Williams on the roster. It's been so hard

91
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:21,680
Speaker 1: to figure this running game out, not so much because

92
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:23,240
Speaker 1: you know, we don't know who's gonna be good, just

93
00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 1: because we don't know who's gonna get the touches or

94
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: the snaps on a week to week basis. With Henderson gone,

95
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:33,159
Speaker 1: does this mean it's kim Akers season only? Of you

96
00:04:33,240 --> 00:04:37,080
Speaker 1: are desperate, like I still expect Williams to play a

97
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 1: factor here and even last week, like Acres had fourteen Carrieres,

98
00:04:40,320 --> 00:04:42,640
Speaker 1: he turned it into sixty one yards. Good. That's a

99
00:04:42,720 --> 00:04:45,880
Speaker 1: solid game. Still just six fantasy points. He was not

100
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:49,080
Speaker 1: used in the passing game at all, and now Matt

101
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,560
Speaker 1: Stafford looks like he's gonna be out this week. Uh,

102
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins is getting those snaps with the ones that practice.

103
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: They're anticipating he might have to start this week. To me,

104
00:04:57,680 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 1: that just means that teams are gonna just load up

105
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: from again and be like, all right, beat us through

106
00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,040
Speaker 1: the passing game without your starting quarterback, without your all

107
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:08,440
Speaker 1: pro wide receiver. And the Rams interior offensive line has

108
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 1: been so bad that I don't see that game anywhere.

109
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:14,440
Speaker 1: Someone asked what I prefer cam Akers or Kirrin Williams,

110
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: and I said Kyron Williams for a couple of reasons.

111
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: One because we always like the shiny new thing, and

112
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,960
Speaker 1: he's sort of the thing that we don't know as

113
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:23,680
Speaker 1: much about we've seen cam Akers at this point. The

114
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:28,520
Speaker 1: other part is just the relationship between cam Akers and

115
00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,119
Speaker 1: Sean McVeigh seems to be on again, off again. Someone

116
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:33,320
Speaker 1: on Twitter said they're the Ross and Rachel for the

117
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:35,720
Speaker 1: NFL fantasy set right now. So I don't think I

118
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:37,360
Speaker 1: want any part of that relationship. I don't know they

119
00:05:37,440 --> 00:05:40,000
Speaker 1: might be on a break. I have no idea, So

120
00:05:40,480 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: I think maybe that reason makes me want Kyrien Williams.

121
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: But either way, I don't really get excited about either

122
00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,200
Speaker 1: one of these running backs, probably for the rest of

123
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:51,360
Speaker 1: the season too. When did you become at him rank?

124
00:05:52,320 --> 00:05:55,200
Speaker 1: And at some point if you can't get along with

125
00:05:55,240 --> 00:05:58,560
Speaker 1: any of your running backs, maybe you need to it's me,

126
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:02,080
Speaker 1: I'm the problem. Like, maybe that's what it is. So

127
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:04,240
Speaker 1: I guess the long way that that's just a long

128
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: way of saying, stay away from the Rams running backs.

129
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 1: It's not really gonna help you out at all. More

130
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: quarterback news, interim Panthers head coach Steve Wilson formed the

131
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 1: team that Sam Donald is going to be the starting

132
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,520
Speaker 1: quarterback this week against the Denver Broncos. I tweeted about

133
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:20,760
Speaker 1: it kind of made a general request to the Panthers.

134
00:06:21,040 --> 00:06:23,560
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be so vain and narcissistic to think

135
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,960
Speaker 1: they saw my tweet and said, this guy's onto something.

136
00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:29,480
Speaker 1: But I look at this, it can't really be worse

137
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:31,839
Speaker 1: than what they've been doing with Baker Mayfield most of

138
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:36,200
Speaker 1: the season. I guess the the question here is, does

139
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: this change at quarterback mean that we can maybe kind

140
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,479
Speaker 1: of lean on DJ more a little bit more? Now?

141
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: I think yes, But not this week, because because last

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,159
Speaker 1: year with Sam Donald, dj More averaged over fourteen and

143
00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: a half Fantasy points per gaming at a near thirty

144
00:06:51,400 --> 00:06:55,320
Speaker 1: percent target share. He was averaging just under ten targets

145
00:06:55,320 --> 00:06:57,760
Speaker 1: per game, over a hundred air yards per game. It's

146
00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: all great. I will say there was some highs and

147
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:04,320
Speaker 1: low lows because again we're getting excited about Sam Donald.

148
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:08,360
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. That tells you more about Baker Mayfield than

149
00:07:08,400 --> 00:07:11,480
Speaker 1: it does Sam Donald. Um. But I do think there's

150
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,560
Speaker 1: better days ahead for dj More. But he's facing the

151
00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,640
Speaker 1: Broncos defense this week, who've allowed the fewest fantasy points

152
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: to wide receivers, not just on the year, but in

153
00:07:19,920 --> 00:07:22,640
Speaker 1: the last month. Like they've been so good at stopping

154
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:26,160
Speaker 1: receivers that I would still keep dj More on my bench.

155
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,560
Speaker 1: But it's one of those situations where if he gets

156
00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:30,040
Speaker 1: a lot of volume and he has a good game,

157
00:07:30,080 --> 00:07:32,520
Speaker 1: even in a tough matchup, you're like, cool, I can

158
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: start this guy moving forward now, and you take that

159
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,480
Speaker 1: as positive. Let's keep it real. Back in training camp

160
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: when there was a QB competition between Mayfield and Donald,

161
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:44,520
Speaker 1: it wasn't like Baker just ran away with the job.

162
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: And if Donald doesn't get hurt late in preseason. Who knows,

163
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: we might have seen this change earlier in the season.

164
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:53,440
Speaker 1: So it's not as though we know who Sam Donald

165
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: is at this point. But it's not like Baker Mayfield

166
00:07:55,560 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: was head and shoulders above him, So this sort of

167
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 1: seemed like thanos. It just inevitable at some point. I

168
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,040
Speaker 1: guess if you were a Sam Donald over Baker Mayfield

169
00:08:05,040 --> 00:08:08,080
Speaker 1: truther in theen draft, you could celebrate. I guess you

170
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,320
Speaker 1: could take your victory lap for what it's worth. You're

171
00:08:10,320 --> 00:08:12,360
Speaker 1: gonna be out there by yourself waving one tiny little

172
00:08:12,400 --> 00:08:15,280
Speaker 1: Sam Donald flag, but kudos to you if that's the case.

173
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: Time now for our heroes and villains of the week.

174
00:08:18,560 --> 00:08:21,040
Speaker 1: Let's start with the guys that will carry your team

175
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: to victory. Who deserves a little bit more buzz? Lamar Jackson.

176
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,400
Speaker 1: I think I understand Lamar Jackson hasn't been Lamar Jackson

177
00:08:28,520 --> 00:08:31,320
Speaker 1: this season. He hasn't really, He hasn't top twenty Fantasy

178
00:08:31,320 --> 00:08:34,400
Speaker 1: points since I believe Week three. But I think this

179
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: is the get right game for him. Not only have

180
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: the Jaguars allowed a ton of production to quarterbacks nearly

181
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:43,960
Speaker 1: nineteen fantasy points per game. That's in the top ten,

182
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:46,839
Speaker 1: but they've also as of late, they've allowed these second

183
00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:49,640
Speaker 1: most fantasy points in the past month. They also really

184
00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:52,920
Speaker 1: really struggle at stopping the run. So I think this

185
00:08:53,040 --> 00:08:55,719
Speaker 1: is the game where Lamar reminds everyone like, Hey, I'm

186
00:08:55,800 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: Lamar Jackson. I can still do this, and I think

187
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:00,120
Speaker 1: he puts up a really big fantasy He's been going

188
00:09:00,160 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: to play a lot of hero ball lately to maybe

189
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:04,800
Speaker 1: having Mark Andrews a little bit healthier this week will

190
00:09:04,800 --> 00:09:07,560
Speaker 1: help him out as well. I'm gonna go with league

191
00:09:07,559 --> 00:09:10,160
Speaker 1: winner Lenny. In fact, he might be Week winner Lenny

192
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:13,040
Speaker 1: this week for you against the Cleveland Browns. The one

193
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: thing we have known for sure that you can run

194
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:18,280
Speaker 1: the football on Cleveland. Having the week off has certainly

195
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,200
Speaker 1: helped for Net get a little bit healthier, as he's

196
00:09:20,200 --> 00:09:22,439
Speaker 1: dealing with a hip issue and all signs point to

197
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:24,920
Speaker 1: him being the starter and still getting a pretty heavy workload.

198
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,440
Speaker 1: And if for whatever reason, the Bucks have to go

199
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,440
Speaker 1: to the air, we know for Net can catch the

200
00:09:29,440 --> 00:09:32,240
Speaker 1: football doesn't necessarily have to come off the field on

201
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:35,679
Speaker 1: third down, so game script hasn't really mattered for him. Now.

202
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,840
Speaker 1: We'll probably talk about Rashad White a little bit later.

203
00:09:37,880 --> 00:09:40,040
Speaker 1: So he may have some value as well. But I

204
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 1: still like for NET a lot this week against Cleveland,

205
00:09:42,480 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: who has done a pretty good job against passing games.

206
00:09:44,760 --> 00:09:47,160
Speaker 1: Not super excited about Tom Brady, but I think for

207
00:09:47,280 --> 00:09:50,240
Speaker 1: NET definitely a good start. Let's go to our villains

208
00:09:50,360 --> 00:09:52,280
Speaker 1: of the week. Who's the guy that you might want

209
00:09:52,320 --> 00:09:54,839
Speaker 1: to try to avoid if you could car Daryl Patterson,

210
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:57,679
Speaker 1: who I know last week salvage his day for some

211
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,079
Speaker 1: if you get the points for the return touchdown, but

212
00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: he still played just half of the snaps, had ten

213
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:06,640
Speaker 1: carries and two targets. Tyler Algier played half the snaps

214
00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:09,720
Speaker 1: as well. He had eight carries one target. There's a

215
00:10:09,800 --> 00:10:13,840
Speaker 1: clear split right now between these two running backs, and

216
00:10:14,120 --> 00:10:16,560
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, last week they had a favorable matchup

217
00:10:16,559 --> 00:10:19,120
Speaker 1: on paper, I could take the shot on him. This

218
00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:22,680
Speaker 1: week it's anything, but the Commanders have been the absolute

219
00:10:22,720 --> 00:10:25,080
Speaker 1: best team ats shutting down running backs the last couple

220
00:10:25,120 --> 00:10:27,720
Speaker 1: of months. I would stay very, very far away from

221
00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,840
Speaker 1: this matchup. They just shut down Damian Pierce last week,

222
00:10:30,880 --> 00:10:35,120
Speaker 1: held him to single digit yards. Like with Patterson splitting

223
00:10:35,120 --> 00:10:37,719
Speaker 1: time in this tough matchup, I would stay away from him,

224
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:40,400
Speaker 1: especially with him splitting opportunities, as you mentioned against that

225
00:10:40,440 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: Commander's defense. That makes me very nervous. Also very nervous

226
00:10:43,400 --> 00:10:46,960
Speaker 1: about Alvin Kamara, and on our Monday's show, Florio, you

227
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:49,760
Speaker 1: mentioned that Kamara is kind of an enigma some weeks.

228
00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:52,160
Speaker 1: It seems like he's up some weeks. You just don't

229
00:10:52,160 --> 00:10:54,040
Speaker 1: know what you're gonna get out of him. Even having

230
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:56,880
Speaker 1: Andy Dalton they're throwing those checkdowns hasn't really mattered a

231
00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,880
Speaker 1: whole lot. So the inconsistency sort of worries me. On

232
00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 1: top of it, now he's got the forty niners this week.

233
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,920
Speaker 1: I know James Conner ended up putting up an okay

234
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: number he got in the end zone. I don't have

235
00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: the same level of confidence in the Saints offense to

236
00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:13,480
Speaker 1: move the football against San Francisco. You may not be

237
00:11:13,520 --> 00:11:15,839
Speaker 1: able to get away from Camara this week. I totally

238
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,840
Speaker 1: understand it, but everything about this makes me really nervous

239
00:11:19,040 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: about giving him a start. Time to get to our

240
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:24,520
Speaker 1: game previews. We got a whole slate full of games

241
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 1: nobody want to buy this week, So we got sixteen games.

242
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,760
Speaker 1: Let's start with the three on Thanksgiving. The Bills at

243
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:33,000
Speaker 1: the Lions, second straight week, that the Bills are gonna

244
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 1: be playing a game in Detroit. This time it's actually

245
00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:38,920
Speaker 1: against the home team, Detroit Lions. Josh Allen not a

246
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:42,320
Speaker 1: great game last week fantasy wise. Will he bounce back

247
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: against the Lions on Thursday? I think so. I considered

248
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:47,680
Speaker 1: writing about him and the start sit, but I was like,

249
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: I don't think people are at the point yet where

250
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 1: they're worried about Josh Allen to that level. But I

251
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,439
Speaker 1: think last week was a case of like, they were

252
00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: going up against one of the worst run stopping fronts

253
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:58,800
Speaker 1: in the league, and they wanted to be like, look,

254
00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:01,000
Speaker 1: everyone says we can't run the ball, We're gonna just

255
00:12:01,080 --> 00:12:03,200
Speaker 1: run it down. The Browns throw and it worked and

256
00:12:03,240 --> 00:12:05,960
Speaker 1: it helped open up stuff in the passing game. With

257
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:09,760
Speaker 1: this being another game indoors against a struggling lines defense.

258
00:12:10,120 --> 00:12:12,520
Speaker 1: Uh and Alan is not wearing protective gear in his

259
00:12:12,559 --> 00:12:15,640
Speaker 1: elbow anymore. He's practicing for the first time since he

260
00:12:15,760 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: hurt that elbow. I think this is just shaping up

261
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: to be a game where Josh Allen like just goes

262
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,080
Speaker 1: off this week. I'm not worried about Josh Allen at

263
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:26,600
Speaker 1: all this week. I think he's going to eat it Thanksgiving.

264
00:12:26,640 --> 00:12:29,280
Speaker 1: He's going to feast on that Lions defense, So I'm

265
00:12:29,520 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: not worried about him anything else of note in this game,

266
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: I think you could start Devin Singletary, who the Bills

267
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: have been trying to give the ball to more. He

268
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:40,120
Speaker 1: is at least thirteen carries, and I believe it's in

269
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:43,960
Speaker 1: four of his last five games. He ran well last week,

270
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:46,320
Speaker 1: and we know that he can be involved at times

271
00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:48,680
Speaker 1: in the past and game. What I especially like is

272
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:51,560
Speaker 1: there not shying away from him near the goal line anymore.

273
00:12:51,640 --> 00:12:54,720
Speaker 1: And the Lions on the year have really struggled against

274
00:12:54,760 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: the run, especially running backs. And you could say like, yeah,

275
00:12:57,920 --> 00:13:01,160
Speaker 1: they shut down stake One last week. The week before

276
00:13:01,200 --> 00:13:04,000
Speaker 1: that they shut down David Montgomery, but like that week,

277
00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:06,480
Speaker 1: they were still ran all over by Justin Fields. And

278
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: last week it seemed like a game where they were like,

279
00:13:08,720 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: we're gonna make anyone but say Kuan beat us. This

280
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,920
Speaker 1: week feels like a week where they're like, we're gonna

281
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:15,560
Speaker 1: have to sell out to try to stop Josh Allen

282
00:13:15,600 --> 00:13:17,719
Speaker 1: in the past, right, that's a thing when you talk

283
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: about the Giants stop sake k One, you got a

284
00:13:20,160 --> 00:13:22,800
Speaker 1: pretty good shot at the winning. If you stop Devin

285
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,040
Speaker 1: Singletarry for the bill, were gonna get carved up by

286
00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 1: somebody else, So good luck. They're giants at the Cowboys.

287
00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,080
Speaker 1: Se Kwon Barkley, we talked about him. He's in the

288
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,320
Speaker 1: midst of these sake Kuanaissans having a very good year.

289
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 1: Tony Pollard whip berserk last week, Ezekiel Ellet's still they're

290
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: still getting opportunity. He has had two touchdowns. Who scores

291
00:13:42,040 --> 00:13:44,840
Speaker 1: the most points out of that trio, Barkley, Pollard or Zeke.

292
00:13:45,080 --> 00:13:49,319
Speaker 1: I think it's a two man race right now. I'm

293
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: gonna give the edge to say Kue just because I

294
00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,559
Speaker 1: think his touches are safer. He has the harder matchup

295
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:57,720
Speaker 1: of the two. But he's Sae Kwon Barkley, and uh,

296
00:13:57,960 --> 00:14:01,600
Speaker 1: he's gonna get like touches, especially because I think the

297
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:03,720
Speaker 1: Giants are gonna try to shorten this game, and you

298
00:14:03,800 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: do so by running the ball and controlling the clock.

299
00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:08,040
Speaker 1: So I'm gonna anticipate they give him a good amount

300
00:14:08,040 --> 00:14:09,960
Speaker 1: of touches. So I'm gonna go with Tony Pollard, and

301
00:14:10,000 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 1: maybe it feels a little bit like chasing the points.

302
00:14:12,200 --> 00:14:14,680
Speaker 1: I don't think he has the enormous game he had

303
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: last week. But it's a situation where I think the

304
00:14:17,320 --> 00:14:20,880
Speaker 1: Cowboys really focus on trying to take Zeke away in

305
00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:23,560
Speaker 1: that Giants offense and forcing forcing Daniel Jones and the

306
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,200
Speaker 1: wide receivers to beat them. So I think that opens

307
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:29,160
Speaker 1: them things up. Pollard shows that he is worthy of

308
00:14:29,240 --> 00:14:32,240
Speaker 1: more snaps, more touches. It was nice to see him

309
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,800
Speaker 1: get more involved in the passing game as well last week,

310
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:36,760
Speaker 1: So I think he's the guy that that has the

311
00:14:36,800 --> 00:14:39,760
Speaker 1: bigger game along those lines, though I don't I do

312
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,800
Speaker 1: think that makes Darius Slayton a bit of a sleeper

313
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:45,480
Speaker 1: for the Giants offense. And I mentioned I think that

314
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: the Cowboys will try to take Uh Sae Kwon Barkley away.

315
00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: Forced the Giants to beat them through the air, and

316
00:14:52,040 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: right now, when Daniel Jones is throwing the ball, pretty

317
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,400
Speaker 1: much the only place he can feel confident is with

318
00:14:57,480 --> 00:15:00,280
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton. I know the numbers have not been spectacle scular.

319
00:15:00,360 --> 00:15:03,240
Speaker 1: You're talking about, you know, low double digits. He's giving

320
00:15:03,240 --> 00:15:06,960
Speaker 1: you eleven, twelve, thirteen points a game, but he's consistently

321
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,160
Speaker 1: giving you those kind of numbers. And when you're getting

322
00:15:09,160 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 1: these sort of opportunities and target share that he's been getting.

323
00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: I think that opens up the opportunity for a big

324
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,760
Speaker 1: blow up game. I don't know if that comes this week,

325
00:15:17,960 --> 00:15:20,360
Speaker 1: but I think that consistency is there, which means Slayton

326
00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:23,200
Speaker 1: deserves a spot at least as a flex in your lineup,

327
00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:25,320
Speaker 1: maybe a wide receiver two if you're playing in a

328
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,560
Speaker 1: whole lot deeper leagues. The nightcap the Patriots at the Vikings,

329
00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,400
Speaker 1: and I saw a tweet that the Patriots really have

330
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:35,520
Speaker 1: been wrecking people's lives lately. They beat the Colts, they

331
00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:38,840
Speaker 1: got they got Frank Reich fired, they beat the Jets

332
00:15:38,920 --> 00:15:42,320
Speaker 1: last week, they got Zach Wilson benched. So now, if

333
00:15:42,360 --> 00:15:44,440
Speaker 1: I'm a Viking, I'm a little bit nervous about my

334
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:48,480
Speaker 1: job security depending on what happens this week. Does this

335
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 1: have anything to do with your beware for this game?

336
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: A little bit? Like Kirk Cousins. Be aware of Kirk

337
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: Cousins for fantasy purposes. And just when we thought we

338
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,360
Speaker 1: could trust Kirk Cousins, like, oh, he's playing at home,

339
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,880
Speaker 1: he's playing well. He put up less than three fantasy

340
00:16:03,880 --> 00:16:07,320
Speaker 1: points last week against the Cowboys at home. He went

341
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:10,120
Speaker 1: full Kirk, which is the worst thing to do. And

342
00:16:10,160 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: then this is a national prime time game, which we

343
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: know Kirk Cousins struggles in, but that's only like a

344
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:18,960
Speaker 1: small part of it. Like the Patriots defense, at the

345
00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:21,240
Speaker 1: beginning of the year, they didn't look like themselves, but

346
00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:23,920
Speaker 1: since then they've been one of the best units in

347
00:16:23,920 --> 00:16:27,520
Speaker 1: the NFL, especially at stopping wide receivers. The amount of

348
00:16:27,560 --> 00:16:31,160
Speaker 1: points a loud I'm sorry to quarterbacks, it just keeps dwindling.

349
00:16:31,160 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: And in the past month it's less than ten per game.

350
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:37,760
Speaker 1: I understand they played the Jets, but still like less

351
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:40,720
Speaker 1: than ten per game. That's very and and Kirk Cousins,

352
00:16:40,800 --> 00:16:43,160
Speaker 1: I don't know. I just don't. I can't trust the

353
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,520
Speaker 1: guy with much confidence. And this is a pretty good

354
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:47,720
Speaker 1: week for quarterbacks. Like I think you could get away

355
00:16:47,720 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: from Cousins. Kirk Cousins on prime time. You feel like

356
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:52,480
Speaker 1: at least one interception is coming because that just seems

357
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,440
Speaker 1: to be the m O in those prime time games.

358
00:16:54,440 --> 00:16:56,200
Speaker 1: So keep an eye out for that one. A tough

359
00:16:56,240 --> 00:17:00,000
Speaker 1: matchup for the Vikings quarterback. There. We got this fun

360
00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 1: fact courtesy of the NFL Fantasy Research Team. Five of

361
00:17:03,760 --> 00:17:06,400
Speaker 1: the top twelve wide receivers in Week eleven, we're all

362
00:17:06,480 --> 00:17:10,400
Speaker 1: rookies from the two NFL draft Chris olav Christian Watson,

363
00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:14,440
Speaker 1: wan Dale Robinson, George Pickens, and Trey Lan Burke's all

364
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,239
Speaker 1: thirty two teams are in action this week. Sadly, wan

365
00:17:17,320 --> 00:17:20,760
Speaker 1: Dale Robinson out for the season. But among the rest

366
00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:22,560
Speaker 1: of them, who do you think is going to be

367
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,480
Speaker 1: the top scoring rookie receiver this week? This is a

368
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:28,399
Speaker 1: harder question because everything is starting to break right for

369
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: a lot of the receivers like no Kyle Pitts, no

370
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: more Zach Wilson, Trey Burke's is healthy. But I still

371
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 1: think it'll be Christian Watson this week. He's been riding

372
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: hot as of late. He has five touchdowns in in

373
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,880
Speaker 1: his last two games. But the reason I'm so high

374
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:44,800
Speaker 1: on Watson I was very high on him last week

375
00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: as well, is because of what he can do downfield.

376
00:17:47,520 --> 00:17:50,840
Speaker 1: He is by far the Packers best downfield threat, and

377
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:54,440
Speaker 1: that is something that they've been greatly lacking all seasons.

378
00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:57,240
Speaker 1: So he's gonna get the downfield targets from Aaron Rodgers.

379
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:59,560
Speaker 1: He's clearly the guy that Aaron Rodgers looks to when

380
00:17:59,560 --> 00:18:01,480
Speaker 1: they get in the red zone. Right now, those are

381
00:18:01,480 --> 00:18:04,239
Speaker 1: the two most valuable touches for a receiver, the two

382
00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: quickest way to score points and chunks. So give me

383
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,159
Speaker 1: Christian Watson. So when I took a look at this,

384
00:18:08,280 --> 00:18:10,480
Speaker 1: I didn't love any of the matchups for any of

385
00:18:10,480 --> 00:18:12,800
Speaker 1: these wide receivers this week. That made it hard. So

386
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: I went with chriss O Lava. And I know I

387
00:18:14,960 --> 00:18:17,640
Speaker 1: said that I'm worried about Alvin Kamara this week. I'm

388
00:18:17,640 --> 00:18:19,639
Speaker 1: worried about Alava as well, but I just like the

389
00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:22,080
Speaker 1: fact that he is a downfield threat as well. You

390
00:18:22,119 --> 00:18:24,720
Speaker 1: mentioned that for Watson, that's been the case for Olava.

391
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Speaker 1: He has been mr air yards so far this season.

392
00:18:28,359 --> 00:18:31,439
Speaker 1: And you look at that New Orleans passing game right now,

393
00:18:31,440 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: it's pretty much Olava and Juwan Johnson. So give me

394
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:37,200
Speaker 1: a shot on Chris Olave to hit hit, maybe a

395
00:18:37,240 --> 00:18:40,119
Speaker 1: couple of big plays, Maybe there's a blown coverage somewhere

396
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:44,000
Speaker 1: in the secondary. Maybe Dalton somehow manufactures a little extra time.

397
00:18:44,240 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: But like I said, I don't love any of these

398
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:47,760
Speaker 1: guys that have a huge blow up week, but I

399
00:18:47,800 --> 00:18:50,919
Speaker 1: think Olava ends up being your top score. Back to

400
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: our game previews for Week twelve, The Broncos at the Panthers.

401
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,080
Speaker 1: The Denver offense now without Melvin Gordon, now without Chase

402
00:18:59,200 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Edmunds for at least a little bit of time. So

403
00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:05,080
Speaker 1: for me, that makes Lettavis Murray a sleeper in this situation.

404
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:08,360
Speaker 1: There's so many things about the Broncos offense to not like.

405
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,680
Speaker 1: They don't really move the ball, they don't really score points,

406
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: they don't really have a great running game. But now

407
00:19:14,640 --> 00:19:18,040
Speaker 1: Murray's not really splitting any opportunities with anybody. We'll see

408
00:19:18,040 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: if Marlon Mack jumps in and get some touches this week,

409
00:19:20,800 --> 00:19:23,680
Speaker 1: as he was elevated from the practice squad, but this

410
00:19:23,720 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: is pretty much Murray's backfield and he doesn't have a

411
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,680
Speaker 1: good matchup. The Panthers run defense is in the bottom

412
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:32,639
Speaker 1: five in the NFL, so there's plenty of opportunity for

413
00:19:32,720 --> 00:19:34,440
Speaker 1: Murray to go out here and make a play. I

414
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:37,119
Speaker 1: don't think you're you're not starting him as an RB one.

415
00:19:37,160 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: He's maybe an RB two of maybe a flex even,

416
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:42,520
Speaker 1: so don't get too crazy with it. But Murray does

417
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:46,480
Speaker 1: have some upside this week for Denver. Tampa Bay Buccaneers

418
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,840
Speaker 1: at the Cleveland Browns. Mike Evans get a bit of

419
00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:52,840
Speaker 1: a slump. He has not scored a touchdown since Week four,

420
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: his last couple of games forty receiving yards in week nine,

421
00:19:56,440 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 1: just fifty four in week ten. Does he break out

422
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:01,040
Speaker 1: of the slump? Does get in the end zone for

423
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:03,480
Speaker 1: the first time in what seems like a couple of months.

424
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:07,960
Speaker 1: I think so because the Browns defense like they're just say,

425
00:20:08,040 --> 00:20:12,119
Speaker 1: a struggling unit right now, and uh it's not like

426
00:20:12,160 --> 00:20:14,800
Speaker 1: they haven't. They've shied away from Mike Evans, like he

427
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: had just six targets last week, but before that eleven

428
00:20:17,480 --> 00:20:20,800
Speaker 1: or more in three straight games, so uh we know. Also,

429
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:22,560
Speaker 1: he is going to be their top option in the

430
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:24,919
Speaker 1: passing game when they get in the red zone. My

431
00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,160
Speaker 1: only concern for this is the Bucks have been trying

432
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:30,440
Speaker 1: to punch it in with Leonard for Netta Rashad White

433
00:20:30,520 --> 00:20:33,399
Speaker 1: all year to just no avail because their old line,

434
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:36,600
Speaker 1: especially the interior O line, makes no space for them

435
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:40,040
Speaker 1: to run. But the Browns are the worst, one of

436
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:43,199
Speaker 1: the worst fronts at stopping the run. So this is

437
00:20:43,240 --> 00:20:48,320
Speaker 1: like a immovable object meets a yeah. Like, so maybe

438
00:20:48,600 --> 00:20:50,320
Speaker 1: the Bucks punch it in a couple of times. That's

439
00:20:50,359 --> 00:20:52,800
Speaker 1: my only fear. I'm gonna say that that Evans does

440
00:20:52,840 --> 00:20:55,040
Speaker 1: get a touchdown, and maybe it is a fade or

441
00:20:55,040 --> 00:20:56,960
Speaker 1: a jump ball in the end zone sort of thing.

442
00:20:57,119 --> 00:20:58,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if he has a ton of yards,

443
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:01,640
Speaker 1: because the Browns secondary has been okay this year, so

444
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:03,639
Speaker 1: it may not be a great yardage game, but I

445
00:21:03,640 --> 00:21:05,560
Speaker 1: think you know he will will find a way for

446
00:21:05,560 --> 00:21:08,400
Speaker 1: for a touchdown. I'm sure that the Bucks are looking

447
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:10,200
Speaker 1: at the statueet. I'm sure I'm sure Mike Evans is

448
00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,879
Speaker 1: aware he hadn't scored a touchdown in a while. So

449
00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:15,080
Speaker 1: maybe Brady gives this guy something anything else from this

450
00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:17,760
Speaker 1: game that we should pay attention to. Yeah, I think

451
00:21:17,800 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: we're at the point of where Amari Cooper is just

452
00:21:20,400 --> 00:21:22,520
Speaker 1: a must start option like each and every week. I

453
00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,720
Speaker 1: don't care if he's at home on the road, I

454
00:21:24,760 --> 00:21:27,680
Speaker 1: don't care who the opponent is. Yeah, there's there's high

455
00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320
Speaker 1: highs and low lows, but outside of the elite receivers

456
00:21:30,359 --> 00:21:33,320
Speaker 1: that that's just part of what comes at the position.

457
00:21:33,359 --> 00:21:36,040
Speaker 1: And this is a game where the Browns might potentially

458
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:39,320
Speaker 1: have to throw the ball. Uh, Like, Amari Cooper is

459
00:21:39,359 --> 00:21:42,040
Speaker 1: a top ten wide receiver and you wouldn't think about

460
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:44,600
Speaker 1: sitting any of your other top ten wide receivers. So

461
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 1: Christian Kirk the same thing. Another top ten receiver who

462
00:21:47,880 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: we get questions about who I'm like, hey, I know

463
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: by name and what we thought coming into the year

464
00:21:52,600 --> 00:21:55,399
Speaker 1: they're not top guys, but like everything they've done this

465
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:57,160
Speaker 1: year has shown that that that we have to view

466
00:21:57,200 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: them differently than we thought. So just don't even consider uh.

467
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,720
Speaker 1: Sitting at Mark Cooper, I've been amused this year every

468
00:22:02,720 --> 00:22:04,760
Speaker 1: time a Mariy Cooper has a good game scene, Twitter

469
00:22:04,840 --> 00:22:06,760
Speaker 1: just say stuff like, man, you know who could use

470
00:22:06,760 --> 00:22:09,680
Speaker 1: a receiver like a Mariy Cooper the Dallas Cowboys. That's

471
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: that's really made me chuckle most of the season. Ravens

472
00:22:13,080 --> 00:22:16,200
Speaker 1: at the Jaguars. Mark Andrews came back last week from injury,

473
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:20,600
Speaker 1: didn't really do much. Should we be worried about him? No? Um,

474
00:22:20,760 --> 00:22:23,920
Speaker 1: He's still had eight targets, six catches, sixty three yards. Like,

475
00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: that's a twelve point game, which for most tight ends

476
00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:29,359
Speaker 1: we'd be celebrating. I think that just shows how good

477
00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:32,280
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews is at twelve points and we're like, should

478
00:22:32,280 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: we be worried? Because he hasn't quite been the Mark

479
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,800
Speaker 1: Andrews that we saw early in the season, but I

480
00:22:37,800 --> 00:22:39,960
Speaker 1: think last week was more just on the whole offense.

481
00:22:40,160 --> 00:22:41,720
Speaker 1: Maybe it was because they were playing in the cold

482
00:22:41,760 --> 00:22:44,320
Speaker 1: and no player hates the cold more than Lamar Jackson.

483
00:22:44,480 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: But in Florida this week against the struggling Jaguars defense,

484
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:51,560
Speaker 1: I'm expecting a big bounce back game from Andrews lamar

485
00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:54,680
Speaker 1: the entire Ravens offense. If you are really worried about

486
00:22:54,760 --> 00:22:57,199
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, let me ask you this, who are you

487
00:22:57,240 --> 00:23:00,520
Speaker 1: starting over him? Yeah? Who else has the cling of

488
00:23:00,560 --> 00:23:03,960
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews except Travis Kelsey? And you don't have a

489
00:23:04,040 --> 00:23:06,560
Speaker 1: roster with both Travis Kelsey and Mark Andrews on it.

490
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:09,440
Speaker 1: So though I don't I don't think you worry about

491
00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: Mark Andrews. I think he's going to be fine. Start him,

492
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:16,360
Speaker 1: be confident, everything's gonna be okay. I will say, however,

493
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: you should be aware of Travis e t N this

494
00:23:18,560 --> 00:23:21,639
Speaker 1: week because when the Ravens have been had it's mostly

495
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,080
Speaker 1: been through the air, not so much on the ground.

496
00:23:24,119 --> 00:23:26,240
Speaker 1: And now maybe it could be the work in the

497
00:23:26,280 --> 00:23:28,399
Speaker 1: passing game for e t N that sort of saves

498
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,600
Speaker 1: his day. But I worry that the Jaguars are not

499
00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 1: going to be able to run the ball effectively, and

500
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: the fear would be that the Ravens do turn things

501
00:23:36,960 --> 00:23:40,000
Speaker 1: up offensively, that Lamar Jackson starts to go nuts, and

502
00:23:40,040 --> 00:23:42,880
Speaker 1: that Baltimore does score some points, which means it could

503
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:45,959
Speaker 1: be less of a run heavy game script for the Jaguars.

504
00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: E Ten has been so good that I think it's

505
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: hard to completely get away from him, but I would

506
00:23:49,880 --> 00:23:52,240
Speaker 1: be a little bit worried about what his prospects could

507
00:23:52,280 --> 00:23:56,640
Speaker 1: be this week. Texans and the Dolphins. We talked about

508
00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,160
Speaker 1: a number of quarterback changes at the top of the show.

509
00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:03,080
Speaker 1: One more, Davis Mills has been benched by the Texans.

510
00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:06,359
Speaker 1: Kyle Allen will get the start. There weren't a whole

511
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:09,520
Speaker 1: lot of Texans we were excited about starting, save maybe

512
00:24:09,560 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: Damian Pierce. Anybody maybe on the other side that you

513
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:15,840
Speaker 1: are interested in this week, I would start Jeff will

514
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:17,960
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. In fact, I think he is a

515
00:24:18,040 --> 00:24:21,560
Speaker 1: must start option this week against the Houston Texans. UH.

516
00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:25,199
Speaker 1: Since they've acquired Jeff Wilson Jr. Miami has split the

517
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,040
Speaker 1: targets in the backfield between him and most there. They've

518
00:24:28,080 --> 00:24:31,800
Speaker 1: split the outside rushing attempts, but the inside rushing attempts

519
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:34,920
Speaker 1: are all like Wilson has dominated those. He's the back

520
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:36,919
Speaker 1: that they use near the goal line as well as

521
00:24:36,920 --> 00:24:40,200
Speaker 1: a touchdown in each game with the Dolphins and then

522
00:24:40,240 --> 00:24:42,720
Speaker 1: the Texans. Man they've allowed the most fantasy points of

523
00:24:42,800 --> 00:24:45,440
Speaker 1: running backs by far on the year. In the last

524
00:24:45,520 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: month they've allowed the Uh. It's like the most rushing yards,

525
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:53,159
Speaker 1: the second most on outside runs, the most on inside runs.

526
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:55,800
Speaker 1: They're up there for the most rushing yards over expectations.

527
00:24:55,840 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: Like you pick a stat and and they're doing awful

528
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,879
Speaker 1: in it against the runs. So uh, Jeff Wilson Jr.

529
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:03,720
Speaker 1: A must start, and I think most it's in play

530
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:06,040
Speaker 1: is a high upside sleeper as well. This week, Yeah,

531
00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,520
Speaker 1: Jeff Wilson Jr. Absolutely start. He came in and very

532
00:25:08,560 --> 00:25:11,199
Speaker 1: quickly sort of elbowed most decide to be the RB

533
00:25:11,359 --> 00:25:14,800
Speaker 1: one there in Miami Bears at the Jets. We talked

534
00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:16,680
Speaker 1: a lot about both these teams already on the show

535
00:25:16,760 --> 00:25:20,240
Speaker 1: justin Fields right now day to day, Zach Wilson on

536
00:25:20,359 --> 00:25:24,920
Speaker 1: the bench. So I wrote this yesterday before we got

537
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:26,880
Speaker 1: the news about Zack Wilson. I said at the Times,

538
00:25:26,880 --> 00:25:30,800
Speaker 1: who flex Michael Carter between the the quarterback change and

539
00:25:30,840 --> 00:25:32,920
Speaker 1: Florio talking about what this means for Carter. Maybe you

540
00:25:33,000 --> 00:25:35,240
Speaker 1: upgrade him to just a start as well. Now maybe

541
00:25:35,280 --> 00:25:38,000
Speaker 1: he's just an RB two. But either way, the matchup

542
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,040
Speaker 1: was good on its own, just because the Bears have

543
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: struggled against the run, and I don't think this is

544
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:45,240
Speaker 1: a game that's gonna get very lopsided either way. The

545
00:25:45,320 --> 00:25:48,160
Speaker 1: Jets defense is good to hold the Bears down. The

546
00:25:48,280 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: Jets offense just doesn't score a lot of points. So

547
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:52,600
Speaker 1: I do think that Carter stays in play the whole time.

548
00:25:52,760 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: But now if he's gonna get some extra targets from

549
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:57,800
Speaker 1: Mike White, I think that only elevates what is potential

550
00:25:57,840 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: ceiling can be this week. So I already sort of

551
00:26:00,800 --> 00:26:03,160
Speaker 1: liked them. I like him even more now that we've

552
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:07,280
Speaker 1: got White at quarterback, Bengals at the Titans, and some

553
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,840
Speaker 1: news out of Cincinnati Joe Burrow saying on Wednesday morning

554
00:26:10,960 --> 00:26:14,000
Speaker 1: that the Bengals as a team believe that Jamar Chase

555
00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,000
Speaker 1: is going to play after having missed the last couple

556
00:26:16,040 --> 00:26:19,080
Speaker 1: of weeks with an injury. So that's exciting. We know. Look,

557
00:26:19,080 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: it's simple. If Jamar Chase is playing for the Bengals.

558
00:26:21,040 --> 00:26:24,320
Speaker 1: He's playing for you. But in the backfield there is

559
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: some concern because Joe Mixon is in concussion protocol after

560
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:30,320
Speaker 1: leaving last week. So I j p Ryan stepped in

561
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:33,840
Speaker 1: scored three touchdowns if Mixon doesn't go. Do you have

562
00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: confidence in starting p Ryan this week against the Titans? Yeah?

563
00:26:37,119 --> 00:26:40,119
Speaker 1: I think Mixing would be an RB two on volume alone.

564
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,080
Speaker 1: Like maybe if you're one of these teams that are

565
00:26:42,119 --> 00:26:44,520
Speaker 1: loaded at running backs, you don't need him, But if

566
00:26:44,600 --> 00:26:47,840
Speaker 1: you are streaming running backs or anything like that, I

567
00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,119
Speaker 1: think he's the top waiver guy that you could just

568
00:26:50,119 --> 00:26:52,720
Speaker 1: plug and play in your starting lineup right now. He

569
00:26:52,880 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: looked great last week. We know he's gonna get the

570
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,919
Speaker 1: work in the passing games. So the thing about the Bengals,

571
00:26:57,920 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 1: they are generally a one back team. Whoever the starter

572
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,840
Speaker 1: is is going to get the majority of the opportunities.

573
00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,120
Speaker 1: So I think we like p Ryan. I know there's

574
00:27:05,160 --> 00:27:07,639
Speaker 1: gonna be some Fantasy deep league hips through. Who's like

575
00:27:07,640 --> 00:27:10,760
Speaker 1: in my four man keeper dynast the I d P League,

576
00:27:10,760 --> 00:27:13,600
Speaker 1: We're starting Chris Evans and I'm like, cool man, I'm

577
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,879
Speaker 1: watching Chris Evans play Captain America. But you and I

578
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,720
Speaker 1: are not the same. Anything else we should know about

579
00:27:18,760 --> 00:27:21,120
Speaker 1: this game. I think you should be aware of Treylon

580
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:23,119
Speaker 1: Burks this week. And I said on Monday, like he

581
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:26,359
Speaker 1: is someone that I very much so want on my roster,

582
00:27:26,440 --> 00:27:28,159
Speaker 1: and I agree with that, like I I mean, I

583
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 1: still stand by that, like he has a lot of upside,

584
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:34,560
Speaker 1: he is a shot worth taking. But I don't love

585
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: this matchup that the Cincinnati Bengals right now have allowed

586
00:27:37,560 --> 00:27:40,880
Speaker 1: these seventh fewest fantasy points to wide receivers on the year.

587
00:27:40,920 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: They've been tough as of late against them as well.

588
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: And this Titans passing game one, we know they're gonna

589
00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:48,280
Speaker 1: try to just run the ball with Derrick Henry a

590
00:27:48,280 --> 00:27:50,600
Speaker 1: whole bunch, but they don't throw the ball a bunch.

591
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:52,480
Speaker 1: They actually throw the ball the second fewest in the

592
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:55,200
Speaker 1: NFL and they have three receivers. Just two weeks ago

593
00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,560
Speaker 1: it was Nick Westbrook a Kina who had a big game.

594
00:27:57,640 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 1: So while I think Burke's is the wide receiver to

595
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:02,720
Speaker 1: roster here, he has a lot of upside, I think

596
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:04,960
Speaker 1: maybe you wait one more week before you just plug

597
00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:06,480
Speaker 1: him right in your starting low. And I think that's

598
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: fair too, because if you had Treylon Burke's one. You

599
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: probably how either you held onto him throughout his injury

600
00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:13,560
Speaker 1: or you scooped him up off the waiver wire. You

601
00:28:13,600 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: weren't pressing him into service because there was a drastic needs,

602
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:18,600
Speaker 1: so you can probably afford to wait on him through

603
00:28:18,640 --> 00:28:21,000
Speaker 1: this matchup and see what happens for him next week.

604
00:28:28,320 --> 00:28:31,320

610
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: we'll figure out. There's some fantasy issues though, to be

611
00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:55,800
Speaker 1: talked about here. First off, will this be a big

612
00:28:55,840 --> 00:28:58,600
Speaker 1: breakout game for Terry mcloudan. We've liked him with Taylor Heineke.

613
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,240
Speaker 1: We know Heineke is the guy only forward. So does

614
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,120
Speaker 1: this mean we can get excited about McLaurin this week? Yeah?

615
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,880
Speaker 1: And spoiler alert, I have him as a start this

616
00:29:06,960 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: week and the startom sent him column since Taylor Heineke

617
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,320
Speaker 1: took over. McLaurin has a thirty two percent target share

618
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:15,520
Speaker 1: in a fifty two percent air yard share. That's the

619
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:18,440
Speaker 1: third highest target share in the NFL. Highest air yard share.

620
00:29:18,480 --> 00:29:22,760
Speaker 1: He's averaging seventeen fantasy points per game. It's been up

621
00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:24,520
Speaker 1: and down a little bit for him, but this is

622
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:27,480
Speaker 1: a game against the Falcons, who have really struggled against

623
00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:29,840
Speaker 1: receivers all year. And Marcus, I don't know if you

624
00:29:29,880 --> 00:29:32,719
Speaker 1: saw this or not, Taylor Heineke is selling shirts of

625
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:35,680
Speaker 1: him just like chucking the ball and saying like Terry's

626
00:29:35,720 --> 00:29:38,880
Speaker 1: down there somewhere, so like, yeah, even he's getting in

627
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:42,800
Speaker 1: on this. I love that Terris down there somewhere. Taylor Henekey.

628
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:44,320
Speaker 1: We had a chance, I know, to talk to him

629
00:29:44,320 --> 00:29:46,320
Speaker 1: at Super Bowl last year. He was a really fun,

630
00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: cool dude. I love the fact that he's got these

631
00:29:48,200 --> 00:29:50,680
Speaker 1: T shirts that he says he's buying Jordan's for himself

632
00:29:50,680 --> 00:29:52,800
Speaker 1: after everybody, and I guess now I think he's started

633
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:55,320
Speaker 1: buying some for some of his teammates too as well.

634
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,520
Speaker 1: So Taylor, henecky man, just just all around good dude.

635
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:01,600
Speaker 1: We're a fan of you, especially for fantasy purposes. I

636
00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:04,560
Speaker 1: do like Brian Robinson as a sleeper this week as well,

637
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:06,840
Speaker 1: and I know he's been inconsistent. He hasn't been the

638
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:09,160
Speaker 1: most efficient. I think he's averaging just three point to

639
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:12,640
Speaker 1: yards per carry, But this is a situation where the

640
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 1: game script I believe favors him because I think this

641
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,920
Speaker 1: game is gonna stay relatively close throughout. So we saw

642
00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:21,600
Speaker 1: last week when you know it kind of got one sided,

643
00:30:21,640 --> 00:30:24,000
Speaker 1: we didn't see as much of Robinson in that game,

644
00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:25,560
Speaker 1: which is, I guess, sort of weird. But I do

645
00:30:25,640 --> 00:30:28,120
Speaker 1: think this game stays close enough that Robinson continues to

646
00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:30,640
Speaker 1: get touches, and I think that with the Falcons run

647
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:32,560
Speaker 1: defense being as bad as it is, there could be

648
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,800
Speaker 1: a nice opportunity for the rookie to have a bounce

649
00:30:34,840 --> 00:30:38,080
Speaker 1: back game. Here, it's time for Who's Gonna Eat? Presented

650
00:30:38,080 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: by Uber Eats. Managing a fantasy team and hitting refresh

651
00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:44,040
Speaker 1: on your scores works up an appetite, so order with

652
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:48,320
Speaker 1: uber Eats today, let's dive into this Chargers Cardinals matchup Floria.

653
00:30:48,480 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Who do you think is gonna ball out in this one?

654
00:30:50,600 --> 00:30:53,120
Speaker 1: I think you have to be starting James Conner in

655
00:30:53,160 --> 00:30:55,160
Speaker 1: this one. And I know some people look at what

656
00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,560
Speaker 1: he did last week as a disappointment. He only had

657
00:30:57,600 --> 00:31:00,600
Speaker 1: a thirteen Fantasy points. I'm like Hey, he went out,

658
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:03,320
Speaker 1: he scored thirteen fantasy points, he had a touchdown in

659
00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:06,240
Speaker 1: the hardest matchup for running backs as of late. That

660
00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:10,360
Speaker 1: Niners defense has been so good at stopping the run

661
00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:12,920
Speaker 1: and they were playing from behind this week. It's the

662
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:15,320
Speaker 1: exact opposite of that. He gets the Chargers, who not

663
00:31:15,360 --> 00:31:18,280
Speaker 1: only allowed the fourth most fantasy points to running backs,

664
00:31:18,280 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: but they've allowed these second most rushing yards and thirteen

665
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:25,080
Speaker 1: touchdowns in ten games. So I think Connor will get

666
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,240
Speaker 1: a bunch of production on the ground and even if

667
00:31:27,280 --> 00:31:30,080
Speaker 1: they fall behind, he's getting the targets out of the

668
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: backfield as well. So I think you have to just

669
00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,400
Speaker 1: feel very good about James Connor right now. Absolutely love

670
00:31:34,520 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: James Conner against that Charger run defense. I do think

671
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: it was telling that we had Austin Ekeler on a

672
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: few weeks ago and he said he even admitted that, yeah,

673
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:43,440
Speaker 1: our run defense hasn't been particularly great. I appreciate that

674
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:46,280
Speaker 1: sort of honesty. That was Who's Gonna Eat presented by

675
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: Uber Eats, official on demand food delivery partner of the NFL.

676
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 1: Even if you make the wrong fantasy lineup call, make

677
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:56,040
Speaker 1: the right call on delivery order with Uber eats today

678
00:31:56,440 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: Raiders at the Seahawks. If you are looking for a

679
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,400
Speaker 1: tight into dream, and at this point in the season,

680
00:32:01,560 --> 00:32:04,320
Speaker 1: who really isn't, maybe you take a visit to the

681
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:08,320
Speaker 1: island of Foster Moreau the Raiders. We know that Davantae

682
00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 1: Adams is pretty much the target king there in Las Vegas,

683
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:14,000
Speaker 1: but you know, sort of like a knuckleball pitcher who

684
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:16,520
Speaker 1: occasionally throws a straight pitch every now and then, the

685
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,880
Speaker 1: Raiders throw to somebody not named Vante Adams, and I

686
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,160
Speaker 1: think this is a week that Moreau could be that guy.

687
00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,920
Speaker 1: The Seahawks have been awful against tight ends, giving up

688
00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:26,480
Speaker 1: the second most fantasy points per game to the position,

689
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,880
Speaker 1: and especially in the red zone. Three red zone touchdowns

690
00:32:29,880 --> 00:32:32,920
Speaker 1: allowed by the Seahawks defense to tight ends. That's actually

691
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: tied for second most in the NFL. We don't have

692
00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: any b roll. It's just me on camera because we

693
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:39,440
Speaker 1: don't really have any b roll of Foster Moreau. So

694
00:32:39,480 --> 00:32:41,920
Speaker 1: we can move on now. Uh. Next up it is

695
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 1: the Rams and the Chiefs. Not that long ago, this

696
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:47,160
Speaker 1: was a marquee matchup in the NFL. This is one

697
00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,040
Speaker 1: that we would all be circling our calendars for to

698
00:32:49,040 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: get excited about this year, not so much Monday Night

699
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:55,000
Speaker 1: game just a few years ago phenomenal. I think that's

700
00:32:55,040 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 1: the best regular season game I've ever seen. A game

701
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: that was supposed to be played in Mexico City, but

702
00:32:58,560 --> 00:33:00,800
Speaker 1: because the field conditions, it got moved to the l

703
00:33:00,840 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: A Coliseum. Reminder, Bryce Perkins is expected to get the

704
00:33:04,360 --> 00:33:08,360
Speaker 1: first team snaps this week. Matthew Stafford dealing with concussion symptoms,

705
00:33:08,360 --> 00:33:10,440
Speaker 1: so it looks like they may go with Perkins over

706
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:14,120
Speaker 1: John Wolford. By the way, Hide Rods Hilaire also placed

707
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,440
Speaker 1: on injured reserve with a high ankle sprain, so he's

708
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,960
Speaker 1: out for at least the next four weeks, so changes

709
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: offensively for both these teams. With c h out though,

710
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:25,560
Speaker 1: how confident do you feel about starting Isaiah Pacheco this week?

711
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:29,960
Speaker 1: I feel pretty I feel good this week because I

712
00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: think this will be a week where no offense to

713
00:33:32,240 --> 00:33:34,560
Speaker 1: the Rams. The Chiefs are playing with the lead, which

714
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:36,680
Speaker 1: probably means a lot of grinding the clock out with

715
00:33:36,720 --> 00:33:40,800
Speaker 1: Isaiah Pacheco. To me, he is who he is right like,

716
00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: he's kind of matchup dependent. Even though he's gonna be

717
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:45,840
Speaker 1: the lead runner. He doesn't get enough in the passing games,

718
00:33:45,840 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: so he could he has a low floor, but I

719
00:33:47,920 --> 00:33:49,080
Speaker 1: think this will be a game where he gets in

720
00:33:49,120 --> 00:33:50,640
Speaker 1: the volume that you start him. And that's why I'm

721
00:33:50,680 --> 00:33:52,920
Speaker 1: sort of about it. I think there's the opportunity that's

722
00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,160
Speaker 1: going to be there, But because he doesn't really catch

723
00:33:55,200 --> 00:33:58,840
Speaker 1: the football that belongs to Jeric McKinnon, that makes it

724
00:33:58,880 --> 00:34:01,600
Speaker 1: hard for him to have a really high ceiling. I mean,

725
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,960
Speaker 1: last week he had over a hundred rushing yards, it

726
00:34:04,000 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: was ten points. Didn't have didn't find the end zone,

727
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:07,800
Speaker 1: didn't catch a pass. So I think you're sort of

728
00:34:07,800 --> 00:34:09,719
Speaker 1: looking at that. Even if he has a decent rushing game,

729
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:12,520
Speaker 1: say he gives you eighty rushing yards, it's eight points.

730
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,680
Speaker 1: Because I don't know that he's gonna get any targets

731
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:16,360
Speaker 1: in this one. And if there's one team that you

732
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:18,400
Speaker 1: can count on not just handing the ball to the

733
00:34:18,560 --> 00:34:20,440
Speaker 1: running back to punch it in and at the goal line,

734
00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: it's the Chiefs. Oh yeah, no, they're gonna run like

735
00:34:22,120 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: a shovel pass to Travis Kelsey. They may do a

736
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 1: rollout dump off to like Jody Fortson. It's gonna be

737
00:34:28,280 --> 00:34:31,719
Speaker 1: something wacky, right, like, really the Chief's offensive the goal line.

738
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,520
Speaker 1: It's like the the insurance commercial with Andy Reid drawing

739
00:34:34,560 --> 00:34:37,560
Speaker 1: mustaches on people. That's what he does to fantasy managers

740
00:34:37,600 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: down near the goal line. He just draws his a little,

741
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:44,080
Speaker 1: you know, proverbial mustache on our faces. Anything else that

742
00:34:44,200 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: we need to know for this game, I say be

743
00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: aware of all Rams, And when I say beware, I

744
00:34:48,840 --> 00:34:51,719
Speaker 1: mean sit all Rams if you possibly can. Like, you're

745
00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,200
Speaker 1: not gonna start Bryce Perkins even in super flex or

746
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: two quarterback leagues. Allan Robinson is a red zone fade specialist.

747
00:34:58,440 --> 00:35:01,279
Speaker 1: Right now, Van Jefferson he had five targets last week.

748
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:03,640
Speaker 1: We're like cool, but they're gonna be five targets from

749
00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:06,280
Speaker 1: Bryce Perkins this week, which is a lot less valuable

750
00:35:06,280 --> 00:35:09,120
Speaker 1: than from Matthew Stafford. Uh Tyler Higbee has been the

751
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:12,000
Speaker 1: one saving grace, but again I don't feel great about

752
00:35:12,040 --> 00:35:15,080
Speaker 1: any of the past catchers. And then we're talking about

753
00:35:15,080 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: the running backs. I said earlier like I just think

754
00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:20,000
Speaker 1: this will be a game where teams playing moving forward

755
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,920
Speaker 1: just gonna load up front and be like beat us

756
00:35:21,960 --> 00:35:24,879
Speaker 1: with Bryce Perkins and not with Cam Akers. Pretty much, Yeah,

757
00:35:25,040 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: the Rams offense really nothing to talk about fantasy wise.

758
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:29,480
Speaker 1: It's been like that for quite a few weeks now

759
00:35:29,520 --> 00:35:32,799
Speaker 1: at this point. Saints at forty Niners. Saints coming off

760
00:35:32,840 --> 00:35:35,920
Speaker 1: a win over the Rams. The forty Niners just bludgeoned

761
00:35:35,960 --> 00:35:39,880
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals in Mexico City. George Kittle had a

762
00:35:39,960 --> 00:35:42,640
Speaker 1: huge game, couple of touchdowns, one in which the Cardinals

763
00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:44,680
Speaker 1: as a team decided to make a business decision and

764
00:35:44,719 --> 00:35:46,520
Speaker 1: just kind of let him rumble into the end zone.

765
00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:50,520
Speaker 1: Does he stay hot against New Orleans this week? I

766
00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,920
Speaker 1: don't know. I think you definitely got to start him

767
00:35:52,920 --> 00:35:54,640
Speaker 1: because he's George Kittle. And what are you gonna sit

768
00:35:54,680 --> 00:35:56,800
Speaker 1: George Kittle for a streaming tight end? No, you're not

769
00:35:56,840 --> 00:35:59,640
Speaker 1: gonna do that. But last week was the best possible

770
00:35:59,640 --> 00:36:02,200
Speaker 1: matchup for a tight end. This is the worst possible matchup.

771
00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,680
Speaker 1: So it's completely opposite sides of the spectrum. Again, he's

772
00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,080
Speaker 1: George Kittle. I'm still starting him where I have him,

773
00:36:08,239 --> 00:36:11,080
Speaker 1: but I feel much less confident this week. I'm not

774
00:36:11,120 --> 00:36:13,680
Speaker 1: as excited about him. Like, like you said, you're gonna

775
00:36:13,719 --> 00:36:15,960
Speaker 1: be starting him without a doubt, but I don't think

776
00:36:15,960 --> 00:36:18,200
Speaker 1: he'd get you the two touchdowns like he did last week.

777
00:36:18,360 --> 00:36:21,400
Speaker 1: And we saw on Monday night just how many weapons

778
00:36:21,400 --> 00:36:23,960
Speaker 1: the forty Niners have. How many places Jimmy Garoppolo can

779
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,920
Speaker 1: go with the football. So you know, maybe it's a

780
00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:28,840
Speaker 1: big debot week, Maybe it's a CMC week. Maybe Elijah

781
00:36:28,880 --> 00:36:31,080
Speaker 1: Mitchell finds his way into the end zone. The Niners

782
00:36:31,080 --> 00:36:33,120
Speaker 1: can score points, but it might not always come from

783
00:36:33,120 --> 00:36:35,160
Speaker 1: the same you know, two or three people. So you're

784
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,200
Speaker 1: starting him not excited about it. Who you are starting though,

785
00:36:38,440 --> 00:36:41,680
Speaker 1: is the forty Niners defense. They already must start this week.

786
00:36:41,719 --> 00:36:45,000
Speaker 1: The Saints offense has not been very consistent. They're struggling

787
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:47,320
Speaker 1: to protect the passer Andy Dalton. We know when he

788
00:36:47,320 --> 00:36:49,480
Speaker 1: gets pressure in his face sometimes has a tendency to

789
00:36:49,560 --> 00:36:53,040
Speaker 1: throw interceptions. The Niners have just been super aggressive and

790
00:36:53,080 --> 00:36:55,160
Speaker 1: credit to Miko Ryan's for what he was doing there.

791
00:36:55,400 --> 00:36:58,080
Speaker 1: The guys in the secondary are ball hawking. Uh you

792
00:36:58,080 --> 00:37:00,880
Speaker 1: know all three levels, right. You got Thin Bolsa upfront,

793
00:37:01,000 --> 00:37:03,040
Speaker 1: You've got Fred Warner in the middle, you got Talano

794
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:05,520
Speaker 1: who foung out on the back end. Just guys who

795
00:37:05,520 --> 00:37:08,279
Speaker 1: are wrecking offenses this season. So the Niners or he

796
00:37:08,400 --> 00:37:12,000
Speaker 1: must start on the defensive side. Sunday Night Football, it's

797
00:37:12,040 --> 00:37:15,960
Speaker 1: the Packers at the Eagles. Philadelphia's staying hot. You know,

798
00:37:15,960 --> 00:37:17,400
Speaker 1: I had to squeak out a win, but it is

799
00:37:17,440 --> 00:37:20,320
Speaker 1: a win. Nonetheless, the Packers trying to rebound after losing

800
00:37:20,560 --> 00:37:24,200
Speaker 1: to the Titans. Anything that we must do for this one, Yeah,

801
00:37:24,239 --> 00:37:26,680
Speaker 1: I think you sit Aaron Rodgers and you might be like,

802
00:37:26,760 --> 00:37:28,799
Speaker 1: but he's coming off of his two best games of

803
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:32,640
Speaker 1: the year. Yeah, I don't care. He's playing the Eagles

804
00:37:32,760 --> 00:37:36,000
Speaker 1: right now, who have been so tough on quarterbacks. They've

805
00:37:36,040 --> 00:37:39,560
Speaker 1: allowed single digits poems per game to the quarterbacks who

806
00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:42,920
Speaker 1: average you know, well over fifteen fantasy points uh in

807
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,080
Speaker 1: both the last month and on the year. They're the

808
00:37:45,120 --> 00:37:49,040
Speaker 1: toughest matchup for a quarterback. And even with Rogers playing

809
00:37:49,040 --> 00:37:51,640
Speaker 1: better putting up better fantasy numbers, as of late, he's

810
00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:54,799
Speaker 1: looked really off. He's missed some lay up throws that

811
00:37:54,800 --> 00:37:57,319
Speaker 1: he normally makes with no teams on by this week,

812
00:37:57,600 --> 00:37:59,719
Speaker 1: I would be staying away from Aarona. And even still,

813
00:37:59,760 --> 00:38:02,040
Speaker 1: the ritage numbers have not been great. The touchdowns have

814
00:38:02,080 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 1: been there, but he's still giving you like two d

815
00:38:04,120 --> 00:38:06,320
Speaker 1: and twenty yards a game. It's not really great. And

816
00:38:06,360 --> 00:38:08,160
Speaker 1: so if he doesn't throw touchdowns or he throws a

817
00:38:08,200 --> 00:38:10,520
Speaker 1: pick or two then that number comes down a lot

818
00:38:10,560 --> 00:38:13,880
Speaker 1: for you Monday Night football the Steelers and the Colts.

819
00:38:14,000 --> 00:38:16,880
Speaker 1: And I think Paris Campbell is a sleeper here because

820
00:38:16,880 --> 00:38:18,880
Speaker 1: he's been playing well. He might not even be a

821
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,520
Speaker 1: sleeper category anymore because of what he's been doing with

822
00:38:21,560 --> 00:38:23,799
Speaker 1: Matt Ryan. So this, more than anything, is just to

823
00:38:23,920 --> 00:38:26,799
Speaker 1: raise awareness of Paris Campbell and if he's still on

824
00:38:26,800 --> 00:38:28,520
Speaker 1: the waiver wire, go scoop him up. If he's in

825
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,799
Speaker 1: your lineup, this is an opportunity to get him in

826
00:38:30,880 --> 00:38:34,280
Speaker 1: there because the Steelers have been bad against passing games

827
00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:37,040
Speaker 1: this year. Now, maybe having t J. Watt back will

828
00:38:37,040 --> 00:38:39,279
Speaker 1: help a little bit. But the upside for Campbell is

829
00:38:39,520 --> 00:38:43,000
Speaker 1: they're moving him around the formation. He's paying playing his

830
00:38:43,040 --> 00:38:45,200
Speaker 1: snaps from the slot, which means if they need to

831
00:38:45,200 --> 00:38:47,320
Speaker 1: get the ball out quickly because what is getting in

832
00:38:47,360 --> 00:38:49,600
Speaker 1: the backfield, they can still get the ball to Paris

833
00:38:49,640 --> 00:38:51,480
Speaker 1: Campbell some kind of way. So if you're looking for

834
00:38:51,520 --> 00:38:54,600
Speaker 1: a third wide receiver a flex option, Paris Campbell is

835
00:38:54,600 --> 00:38:56,160
Speaker 1: a guy who deserves to be in a whole lot

836
00:38:56,200 --> 00:39:00,640
Speaker 1: more lineups. We are almost to the trade being deadline

837
00:39:00,640 --> 00:39:03,560
Speaker 1: in NFL dot Com leagues. It hits on Friday, November

838
00:39:04,320 --> 00:39:06,440
Speaker 1: so Black Friday, it's a time to maybe get some

839
00:39:06,480 --> 00:39:08,840
Speaker 1: of your holiday shopping done. Also a time to maybe

840
00:39:08,840 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 1: get some of your fantasy roster shopping done with your trade.

841
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,000
Speaker 1: So we got a couple of guys to trade four,

842
00:39:14,120 --> 00:39:16,520
Speaker 1: a couple of guys to trade away. Who should people

843
00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:19,480
Speaker 1: be looking to acquire here at the last minute? Justin

844
00:39:19,560 --> 00:39:23,000
Speaker 1: Herbert for for two reasons. One is that he just

845
00:39:23,160 --> 00:39:25,600
Speaker 1: looks like he is getting healthier. Remember, he cracked his

846
00:39:25,680 --> 00:39:28,240
Speaker 1: ribs in week two or week three against the Chiefs,

847
00:39:28,480 --> 00:39:31,480
Speaker 1: and he hadn't looked the same sense. But this past

848
00:39:31,480 --> 00:39:33,800
Speaker 1: week against the Chiefs, he scored his most fantasy points

849
00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,640
Speaker 1: since like Week four. But what really stood out was

850
00:39:36,640 --> 00:39:39,440
Speaker 1: he average the season high in air yards per past attempt.

851
00:39:39,680 --> 00:39:42,680
Speaker 1: He also was running a little bit more. I think

852
00:39:42,719 --> 00:39:45,480
Speaker 1: that he is just getting healthier and the pieces around

853
00:39:45,600 --> 00:39:48,400
Speaker 1: him are getting healthier, which leads to good things. Plus,

854
00:39:48,600 --> 00:39:51,440
Speaker 1: he is by far the best schedule amongst all quarterbacks

855
00:39:51,480 --> 00:39:54,040
Speaker 1: moving forward in the rest of the fantasy season, he

856
00:39:54,080 --> 00:39:58,480
Speaker 1: gets the Cardinals, the Raiders, the Dolphins, the Titans, the Cults,

857
00:39:58,520 --> 00:40:01,080
Speaker 1: and the Rams. Not only are those defenses that you're

858
00:40:01,120 --> 00:40:03,399
Speaker 1: not afraid of, their defenses that give up a bunch

859
00:40:03,440 --> 00:40:06,200
Speaker 1: of production, and there's some potential shootouts there, like him

860
00:40:06,320 --> 00:40:08,319
Speaker 1: versus the Dolphins, that that could be a game where

861
00:40:08,320 --> 00:40:10,920
Speaker 1: they score like ninety points in that game. So I

862
00:40:10,960 --> 00:40:13,480
Speaker 1: think Justin Herbert, while he's been a disappointment so far,

863
00:40:13,760 --> 00:40:15,120
Speaker 1: he could still make up for it and be the

864
00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:17,080
Speaker 1: quarterback that we thought he could be. Speaking of guys

865
00:40:17,080 --> 00:40:19,600
Speaker 1: who have been disappointing so far, Nagi Harris, but I

866
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:21,600
Speaker 1: think he is going to turn a quarter a little

867
00:40:21,600 --> 00:40:23,719
Speaker 1: bit here. We saw him have a very good game

868
00:40:23,920 --> 00:40:26,760
Speaker 1: last week for Pittsburgh, maybe his best game of the season.

869
00:40:27,080 --> 00:40:29,040
Speaker 1: I think more of those are to come. He's got

870
00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:31,120
Speaker 1: a very good schedule the rest of the way. On

871
00:40:31,239 --> 00:40:33,240
Speaker 1: top of it, as the weather starts to get colder

872
00:40:33,239 --> 00:40:36,359
Speaker 1: in Pittsburgh, as the winds start to swirl there at

873
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,200
Speaker 1: the I don't know what they're calling Hines Field now,

874
00:40:38,200 --> 00:40:41,279
Speaker 1: but whatever they're calling their home stadium, that means I

875
00:40:41,320 --> 00:40:43,680
Speaker 1: think they rely less on Kidney Picket in the passing

876
00:40:43,719 --> 00:40:45,920
Speaker 1: game and more on Nagy Harris. And if he can

877
00:40:45,960 --> 00:40:48,560
Speaker 1: start to get more targets in that offense, and I

878
00:40:48,600 --> 00:40:50,719
Speaker 1: think the ceiling goes up and he starts to look

879
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:53,240
Speaker 1: more like the guy you probably spent an early round

880
00:40:53,239 --> 00:40:55,160
Speaker 1: pick on. So those are the guys that you want

881
00:40:55,160 --> 00:40:57,400
Speaker 1: to acquire. Who are the guys that maybe we're trading

882
00:40:57,400 --> 00:41:01,080
Speaker 1: away right now? This might rattle some fathers or whatever

883
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,440
Speaker 1: this saying is, but I think Sae Kwon Barkley is

884
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:06,319
Speaker 1: a player to trade right now. And I know it

885
00:41:06,440 --> 00:41:08,960
Speaker 1: is spicy, but this past week he's he played less

886
00:41:08,960 --> 00:41:12,480
Speaker 1: than on the snaps for just the second time all season,

887
00:41:12,760 --> 00:41:15,400
Speaker 1: had just fifteen carries and that was against the Lions.

888
00:41:15,480 --> 00:41:19,760
Speaker 1: Like this is a guy who's already had more touches

889
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:22,120
Speaker 1: this year than than each of the last two years

890
00:41:22,120 --> 00:41:24,879
Speaker 1: pretty much combined. So I worry a little bit about

891
00:41:24,920 --> 00:41:27,400
Speaker 1: if is he starting to slow down? But mainly this

892
00:41:27,480 --> 00:41:30,440
Speaker 1: is because of the schedule. He gets the Cowboys, then

893
00:41:30,440 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 1: he still has to play Washington two more times. He's

894
00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,440
Speaker 1: been the best team in stopping the run this season.

895
00:41:34,480 --> 00:41:37,000
Speaker 1: He gets the Eagles again, the Colts and the Vikings,

896
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:39,360
Speaker 1: which are just so so matchups. I would if you

897
00:41:39,360 --> 00:41:41,400
Speaker 1: could trade him right now for say Derrick Henry and

898
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:44,160
Speaker 1: Austin Ekeler, another high end running back like that, It's

899
00:41:44,200 --> 00:41:46,560
Speaker 1: something that I would definitely do. So you got Sae

900
00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:48,759
Speaker 1: Kwon Barkley to trade away. I think it's time to

901
00:41:48,840 --> 00:41:51,279
Speaker 1: maybe think about moving on from Joe Mixon. Yes, he

902
00:41:51,360 --> 00:41:53,920
Speaker 1: had the huge spike game with what fifty points or

903
00:41:53,960 --> 00:41:56,080
Speaker 1: whatever it was a couple of weeks ago. Beyond that,

904
00:41:56,239 --> 00:41:58,680
Speaker 1: he's been fairly mad. Now. I know right now he's

905
00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:01,239
Speaker 1: in the concussion protocol and see what his long term

906
00:42:01,640 --> 00:42:03,879
Speaker 1: prognosis is going to be. But even when he's back

907
00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,880
Speaker 1: and healthy, you've got Jamaar Chase coming back to this offense,

908
00:42:06,920 --> 00:42:09,560
Speaker 1: which means I like the Bengals to be a little

909
00:42:09,600 --> 00:42:12,360
Speaker 1: bit more of a vertical offense in the weeks to come,

910
00:42:12,719 --> 00:42:16,200
Speaker 1: getting Jamaar Chase back keeping, ty T Higgins and Tyler

911
00:42:16,239 --> 00:42:19,160
Speaker 1: Boyd involved as well, even Hayden Hurst catching some passes

912
00:42:19,200 --> 00:42:21,160
Speaker 1: down near the goal line. I just don't know that

913
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:23,640
Speaker 1: mixing is going to be consistent enough for you to

914
00:42:23,719 --> 00:42:25,440
Speaker 1: really count on as you make your run to the

915
00:42:25,440 --> 00:42:27,520
Speaker 1: playoffs and then through the Fantasy playoffs. So if you

916
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:29,759
Speaker 1: can move on from mixing, I would suggest you try

917
00:42:29,800 --> 00:42:31,880
Speaker 1: to do that and get some help elsewhere on your roster.

918
00:42:32,600 --> 00:42:34,919
Speaker 1: We are a day away from Thanksgiving at the time

919
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:37,279
Speaker 1: that we offer thanks for some of the things in

920
00:42:37,320 --> 00:42:40,120
Speaker 1: our lives that we are grateful for and you know,

921
00:42:40,239 --> 00:42:42,200
Speaker 1: for us in the fantasy community, there are players this

922
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:45,040
Speaker 1: year that we are certainly grateful to have on our rosters.

923
00:42:45,040 --> 00:42:47,200
Speaker 1: So we each want to take this science to offer

924
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:49,160
Speaker 1: some thanks for some guys who have really helped us out.

925
00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,760
Speaker 1: Who are you thankful for this fantasy season? I'm thankful

926
00:42:52,800 --> 00:42:56,440
Speaker 1: for Christian McCaffrey. I'll add Sae Kwon Barkley into that

927
00:42:56,520 --> 00:42:58,759
Speaker 1: mix as well. You know, the running backs who were

928
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,680
Speaker 1: labeled injury pro him coming into the year, and who

929
00:43:01,800 --> 00:43:04,799
Speaker 1: were told that they physically cannot hold up for an

930
00:43:04,920 --> 00:43:08,640
Speaker 1: entire season. And here we are twelve games, twelve weeks in,

931
00:43:08,719 --> 00:43:12,120
Speaker 1: and Christian McCaffrey's over averaging over twenty Fantasy points per game.

932
00:43:12,160 --> 00:43:14,359
Speaker 1: He's the top three running back on the season. Say

933
00:43:14,440 --> 00:43:16,839
Speaker 1: Kwan Barkley has played more snaps than any running back

934
00:43:16,880 --> 00:43:19,640
Speaker 1: in the NFL. It's just like, this is what being

935
00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:22,160
Speaker 1: a running back is. The safe guys like Jonathan Taylor,

936
00:43:22,440 --> 00:43:25,279
Speaker 1: they've missed time. But like, if you were fading McCaffrey

937
00:43:25,280 --> 00:43:27,440
Speaker 1: and Barkley and telling other people to fade him, you

938
00:43:27,480 --> 00:43:31,960
Speaker 1: were drafting who Joe Mixing, Dalvin Cook, Alvin Kamara, Aaron

939
00:43:32,040 --> 00:43:34,279
Speaker 1: Jones over these guys. How's that working out for you?

940
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,280
Speaker 1: So yeah, kudos to Barkley and CMC and and dunking

941
00:43:38,280 --> 00:43:40,440
Speaker 1: on people. That's what we do on on Thanksgiving, right,

942
00:43:40,480 --> 00:43:42,279
Speaker 1: exactly what we do you just like you know, you

943
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:44,359
Speaker 1: dunk some turkey and gravy, you dunk on people who

944
00:43:44,440 --> 00:43:46,680
Speaker 1: have bad opinions. That's what it is. I'm gonna be

945
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:48,600
Speaker 1: thankful for to a ton of ioloa because also you

946
00:43:48,680 --> 00:43:50,960
Speaker 1: talk about people who had bad opinions like oh, he

947
00:43:51,040 --> 00:43:53,399
Speaker 1: can't throw the deep ball, and oh, you know Terry

948
00:43:53,480 --> 00:43:55,960
Speaker 1: Hill is that he's still a mid quarterback and two

949
00:43:56,080 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 1: has gone out and just been nothing but awesome. And

950
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:00,440
Speaker 1: especially for a guy that you were able to get

951
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,839
Speaker 1: sort of later in drafts, right, we talked about all

952
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:05,080
Speaker 1: the early round quarterbacks we've been great, and there are

953
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:07,000
Speaker 1: a lot of them, but to have had so many

954
00:44:07,080 --> 00:44:09,520
Speaker 1: questions coming in that people were concerned about him, but

955
00:44:09,560 --> 00:44:12,000
Speaker 1: he has been awesome this year to the point that

956
00:44:12,040 --> 00:44:14,480
Speaker 1: if you have him, chances are you have a debate

957
00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:16,840
Speaker 1: every week on who you're starting at quarterback, and chances

958
00:44:16,880 --> 00:44:19,640
Speaker 1: are to us probably winning that debate more often than not.

959
00:44:19,840 --> 00:44:21,359
Speaker 1: So for a guy that we were able to sort

960
00:44:21,360 --> 00:44:23,279
Speaker 1: of wait on and we're not probably not gonna be

961
00:44:23,280 --> 00:44:25,560
Speaker 1: able to wait on him next year. It's been amazing.

962
00:44:25,800 --> 00:44:28,319
Speaker 1: He's definitely helped out with Tyree. Look, Tyreek Hill is

963
00:44:28,360 --> 00:44:31,120
Speaker 1: over a thousand yards already this season. Jalen Waddle has

964
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:34,279
Speaker 1: been amazing this season two has been great, and I'm

965
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:36,200
Speaker 1: very thankful for the opportunity to have been able to

966
00:44:36,239 --> 00:44:38,640
Speaker 1: draft him in a few of my leagues. Let's get

967
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:41,359
Speaker 1: to some of our top sleepers four Week twelve, Mike,

968
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,160
Speaker 1: who you got? I think Dawson Knox is a in

969
00:44:44,320 --> 00:44:47,360
Speaker 1: play as a sleeper this week. Not only has he

970
00:44:47,400 --> 00:44:50,040
Speaker 1: been getting more volume at least six targets and two

971
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:53,640
Speaker 1: straight games after averaging less than four up until that point,

972
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,840
Speaker 1: but it's a good matchup against the Lions, who have

973
00:44:55,840 --> 00:44:58,640
Speaker 1: allowed the fourth most fantasy points per game to tight

974
00:44:58,719 --> 00:45:01,800
Speaker 1: ends this year, the second mode in the last month. Uh.

975
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:03,680
Speaker 1: And we're saying we said earlier we think good things

976
00:45:03,680 --> 00:45:05,440
Speaker 1: for Josh Allen. I think that means good things for

977
00:45:05,480 --> 00:45:07,920
Speaker 1: his pass catchers as well. Do like Dawson Knox this

978
00:45:07,960 --> 00:45:10,560
Speaker 1: week against the Lions. I also like Matt Ryan, and

979
00:45:10,880 --> 00:45:13,000
Speaker 1: I know it's been hard to start Ryan. He's been

980
00:45:13,040 --> 00:45:16,160
Speaker 1: incredibly inconsistent, not a great fantasy quarterback, but when the

981
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:18,440
Speaker 1: matchup has been right, he's actually put up some pretty

982
00:45:18,440 --> 00:45:20,279
Speaker 1: good games. And we saw that a couple of weeks

983
00:45:20,280 --> 00:45:22,960
Speaker 1: ago when he scored twenty two Fantasy points against the

984
00:45:23,080 --> 00:45:25,719
Speaker 1: Las Vegas Raiders. I talked earlier in the show about

985
00:45:25,719 --> 00:45:28,840
Speaker 1: Paris Campbell being startable this week against the Steelers. I

986
00:45:28,880 --> 00:45:31,080
Speaker 1: think the same thing for Ryan. Now we're talking about

987
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:35,680
Speaker 1: probably two quarterbacks super flex leagues, maybe really deep regularly

988
00:45:35,800 --> 00:45:38,319
Speaker 1: redraft leagues, but I do think there's an opportunity to

989
00:45:38,360 --> 00:45:40,920
Speaker 1: get Ryan in your lineup because the matchup looks like

990
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:43,480
Speaker 1: a good one on paper. Anybody else she likes a

991
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:45,920
Speaker 1: sleeper this week, I think you'll like this one. Marcus

992
00:45:46,000 --> 00:45:48,920
Speaker 1: Drake London on because we had a sacrifice Kyle Pitts

993
00:45:48,920 --> 00:45:52,080
Speaker 1: to get Drake London, but it's you know, we're taking

994
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:55,280
Speaker 1: a shot on. No Pitts means more volume for Drake London.

995
00:45:55,520 --> 00:45:57,920
Speaker 1: Of the Commanders have really struggled against the past, but

996
00:45:57,960 --> 00:46:00,400
Speaker 1: they are elite at stopping the run. So if they

997
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:04,080
Speaker 1: could limit Cordaro, Paterson, Tyler Algier, I think Mariota will

998
00:46:04,120 --> 00:46:07,120
Speaker 1: have to throw more and London is already the favorite

999
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,560
Speaker 1: target in the red zone, so he always brings a

1000
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:12,000
Speaker 1: chance of scoring a touchdown as well. I want more

1001
00:46:12,040 --> 00:46:15,080
Speaker 1: London less or Lamas the kiss at this point. My

1002
00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,480
Speaker 1: last one it's the Chief's defense because it has been

1003
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:20,440
Speaker 1: easy to say pretty much all year long, pick on

1004
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:23,800
Speaker 1: the Rams offense when you're looking to stream a fantasy defense.

1005
00:46:23,840 --> 00:46:25,880
Speaker 1: The Chiefs have not been a great fantasy unit so

1006
00:46:25,920 --> 00:46:28,839
Speaker 1: far this year, but we talked about Bryce Perkins likely

1007
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:31,440
Speaker 1: getting to start at quarterback for the Rams. That offensive

1008
00:46:31,480 --> 00:46:34,000
Speaker 1: line is still a mess. They cannot run the football,

1009
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,240
Speaker 1: whether it's Cam Akers, Kyrien Williams, or even Eric Dickerson.

1010
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:39,640
Speaker 1: At this point, it's been that bad for Los Angeles,

1011
00:46:39,680 --> 00:46:41,840
Speaker 1: so this is an opportunity. If you're looking to stream

1012
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:44,720
Speaker 1: of defense, the Chiefs should very much be on your radar.

1013
00:46:44,840 --> 00:46:46,960
Speaker 1: This week. You will see some of those names and

1014
00:46:47,000 --> 00:46:49,440
