11
00:00:43,520 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 3: excited to be with you means you're playing for heavy

12
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:49,320
Speaker 3: steaks or maybe just looking to play spoiler. Maybe you've

13
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,120
Speaker 3: got a leak toilet bowl where you can get your

14
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,400
Speaker 3: entry feedback. Whatever the case may be, however you're listening.

Speaker 3: your holidays, travels on the highways, and buy of life.

17
00:01:00,680 --> 00:01:04,600
Speaker 3: Mike Garmin alongside Ryan Berschinger, our executive producer, contributor, our

18
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:08,360
Speaker 3: our compatriot here on the Iwatcher Flex podcast. Find him

19
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:11,679
Speaker 3: on Twitter at Ryan Berschinger. He's doing nothing but sending

20
00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:15,600
Speaker 3: flowers to the Dodgers for their off season work, but

21
00:01:15,680 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 3: he's already got his eye on October. It's really a

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: fickle hand of fate. And you know, he got what

23
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,880
Speaker 3: he wanted for Christmas. Now it's what happens in the

24
00:01:22,920 --> 00:01:23,920
Speaker 3: new year. How you doing, Bersch?

25
00:01:24,040 --> 00:01:24,240
Speaker 2: Oh?

26
00:01:24,280 --> 00:01:29,679
Speaker 4: Great? Just yeah, it's been Uh, it's been wonderful. It's

27
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,319
Speaker 4: very excited. Never been more excited for a baseball season.

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 4: But it is still twenty twenty three, so I still

29
00:01:36,040 --> 00:01:38,600
Speaker 4: have to sit on my hands for just a bit.

30
00:01:39,280 --> 00:01:42,840
Speaker 4: Hopefully some fantasy winnings come my way. I'm not in

31
00:01:42,959 --> 00:01:46,360
Speaker 4: any championship games per se. You and I are in

32
00:01:46,400 --> 00:01:48,400
Speaker 4: the final four of our Guillotine.

33
00:01:48,040 --> 00:01:50,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mike's fading miserably.

34
00:01:50,400 --> 00:01:54,320
Speaker 3: Yeah, I got nothing out of my squad in Week

35
00:01:54,360 --> 00:01:56,720
Speaker 3: two of the playoffs. But the Guillotine Leagues, while we're

36
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 3: out of Bursch, you know, for folks, because we are

37
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 3: evangelists for the style of league for a couple of reasons,

38
00:02:02,400 --> 00:02:04,640
Speaker 3: want to get you through the final week of the season.

39
00:02:04,960 --> 00:02:07,200
Speaker 3: We always try to figure out ways to use that

40
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,839
Speaker 3: pesky Week eighteen. Yeah, but also just the idea of

41
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,920
Speaker 3: you know, the Guillotine League survive in advance and glam

42
00:02:15,080 --> 00:02:18,120
Speaker 3: on to superstars as they become available to where you

43
00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 3: get you know, the paralysis by analysis, because now you're

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:24,240
Speaker 3: dealing with all superstars all the time. There is no

45
00:02:24,320 --> 00:02:27,600
Speaker 3: obvious benching, and it becomes that much more maddening.

46
00:02:28,040 --> 00:02:30,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, and well, definitely next week. This will be a

47
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:34,080
Speaker 4: very interesting conversation to have looking at week eighteen. Especially,

48
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,280
Speaker 4: this is the one scenario where I like playing in

49
00:02:37,320 --> 00:02:41,079
Speaker 4: week eighteen. Typically I would stay away from playing fantasy

50
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,480
Speaker 4: leagues that go until week eighteen, But when you have

51
00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:47,560
Speaker 4: this cumulative over the last four weeks, then it's totally

52
00:02:47,639 --> 00:02:50,680
Speaker 4: fine to include that week eighteen because it also adds

53
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,080
Speaker 4: an extra element of a bit of a wild card

54
00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:56,200
Speaker 4: in that last week when you have this accumulation of

55
00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,720
Speaker 4: those those three weeks prior, where suddenly like you could

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,960
Speaker 4: be down by fifty going into the last week. But

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:06,040
Speaker 4: let's say I don't know Mike Lingard like that his

58
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:08,760
Speaker 4: you know, he's got Christian McCaffrey and Ceedee Lamb and

59
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 4: a'man Ross Saint Brown. And what if some of these

60
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:14,000
Speaker 4: guys you come into the game thinking they're going to start,

61
00:03:14,040 --> 00:03:15,720
Speaker 4: and then maybe they only played the first drive.

62
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 2: It could get really.

63
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:21,520
Speaker 4: Interesting, and some it would it would hopefully for somebody

64
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:25,280
Speaker 4: like me who is fifty points behind Mike but in

65
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 4: second place, So in that striking distance, hopefully things can

66
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,800
Speaker 4: can fall our way and we get some wild results

67
00:03:33,800 --> 00:03:34,680
Speaker 4: there in that last week.

68
00:03:34,880 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 3: Well like Emil as we saw last week, and you know,

69
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,560
Speaker 3: I'm playing for a title in one of the industry

70
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 3: leagues that I'm in to kind of bridge these things together,

71
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 3: and you see how quickly it changes. Right if you

72
00:03:44,800 --> 00:03:48,280
Speaker 3: had a Mary Cooper starting boom. I saw a guy

73
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 3: who had a roster with a Marii Cooper, a'm on

74
00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,200
Speaker 3: Ross Saint Brown. I forget who the third wide receiver was,

75
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:58,120
Speaker 3: but it was essentially ninety five points out of three

76
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: guys for any of his other players that even touched

77
00:04:02,280 --> 00:04:05,720
Speaker 3: the field. You know, one of those kind of circumstances

78
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:07,800
Speaker 3: we're by like, all right, you ain't winning that matchup,

79
00:04:08,280 --> 00:04:10,920
Speaker 3: and you move on. I ended up surviving in a

80
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 3: league by one point six points. There we go, one

81
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 3: point six points. I thought I was done. I thought

82
00:04:18,440 --> 00:04:21,920
Speaker 3: I was finished. Lamar Jackson didn't think I was going

83
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:26,159
Speaker 3: to get over the hump. But I just just enough

84
00:04:26,360 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 3: to get over. So we'll play for some title games,

85
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:30,479
Speaker 3: and you know i'd be remiss. You know, as we

86
00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:34,320
Speaker 3: look ahead at Week seventeen in Arnest Bush, you know

87
00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,120
Speaker 3: we've lamented a lot the quarterback position and all the

88
00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,440
Speaker 3: different starters. Right Hall is now going to make a

89
00:04:41,520 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 3: start for the Vikings, and we'll get to him in

90
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,200
Speaker 3: a minute, but we're talking fifty eight fifty nine guys.

91
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 3: The fact that we have a Week seventeen matchup that

92
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:52,920
Speaker 3: features to a tongue of a loa versus Lamar Jackson.

93
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 3: I was, I did my radio spot that I have

94
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,800
Speaker 3: been doing for years in Baltimore, and I said, I

95
00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 3: feel like we all need to get up an offering

96
00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:04,479
Speaker 3: to the fantasy gods that those two guys are still healthy.

97
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:05,640
Speaker 2: In playing in Week seventeen.

98
00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:07,960
Speaker 3: Because if you were to put a short list of

99
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:11,080
Speaker 3: guys based on track record of where you'd be looking

100
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,520
Speaker 3: at the second options and trying to figure out who

101
00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:17,679
Speaker 3: was making the most of Tyreek Hill or Mark andrews Now,

102
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,080
Speaker 3: Isaiah Likely or you know, Zay Flowers or whatever in

103
00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:25,240
Speaker 3: Miami in Baltimore respectively, I think we've all would have

104
00:05:25,279 --> 00:05:27,480
Speaker 3: expected somewhere along the line you would have had to,

105
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:29,800
Speaker 3: you know, find some other options. Yet here we are

106
00:05:29,880 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 3: Week seventeen, huge game for so many reasons.

107
00:05:33,640 --> 00:05:36,400
Speaker 4: Yes, And I'm sure we're going to be mentioning many

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:39,520
Speaker 4: pieces of that game across the board today because, like

109
00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,000
Speaker 4: you're saying, yeah, this is a game that's probably going

110
00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 4: to be rather physical and rather intense, and the matchup

111
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,080
Speaker 4: is terrible for Miami from a fantasy perspective, like, Tua

112
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,799
Speaker 4: is not really a QB one this week simply because

113
00:05:53,800 --> 00:05:58,080
Speaker 4: of the matchup, and that's scary. You're probably not in

114
00:05:58,120 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 4: a championship game with tuas your quarter but let's say

115
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:05,360
Speaker 4: that you are. There are some options that and especially

116
00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:08,480
Speaker 4: there's some deeper plays where you're like scratching your head, going, man,

117
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,480
Speaker 4: do I really want to play Gardner Minshew over Tua?

118
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:17,120
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, the answer is yes, probably, But the reality

119
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 3: is that's where we're at at the quarterback position. Some

120
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,640
Speaker 3: of your usual suspects aren't there, and just coming out

121
00:06:23,640 --> 00:06:26,080
Speaker 3: of that game historically, it's the all right, the after

122
00:06:26,160 --> 00:06:29,000
Speaker 3: effect of playing the forty nine ers. Well, the forty

123
00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,920
Speaker 3: nine ers were on the receiving end of the bludgeoning

124
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:34,560
Speaker 3: last week, so I don't know, I think that carries

125
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,800
Speaker 3: over foot Baltimore. But let's get discussed. Let's get into

126
00:06:37,800 --> 00:06:42,120
Speaker 3: the top fives and obviously call me on my ish

127
00:06:42,160 --> 00:06:44,239
Speaker 3: as you need to. As we go through Mike Garman,

128
00:06:44,360 --> 00:06:47,120
Speaker 3: Ryan Berschinger with you the I Watcher Flex Podcast. All right,

129
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 3: let's start at the quarterback position. Quick and dirty five guys.

130
00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,360
Speaker 3: Jalen Hurt's going up against Arizona six most fantasy points against.

131
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:54,560
Speaker 2: Look.

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:58,680
Speaker 3: Passing games got its issues. We're well recognized that they've

133
00:06:58,680 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 3: been on national TV time and time again, so we

134
00:07:02,040 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 3: all recognize that. But you know, inside the five, DeAndre

135
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 3: Swift seems to have an invisible barrier most of the

136
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 3: time to getting to the end zone, which means Jalen

137
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,480
Speaker 3: Hurts comes in and cleans it up. I think I

138
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,200
Speaker 3: saw the stat. He's got fifteen rushing touchdowns a total

139
00:07:16,200 --> 00:07:19,239
Speaker 3: of thirty nine rushing yards on those plays.

140
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 2: That's all it takes.

141
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:26,120
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson going against Miami middling defense against fantasy quarterbacks.

142
00:07:26,240 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 3: This is one where I think a couple of plays

143
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,000
Speaker 3: with his legs, maybe a touchdown run put him over.

144
00:07:31,080 --> 00:07:33,840
Speaker 3: But the over under for this game is sitting at

145
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 3: a robust forty seven, one of the highest for this

146
00:07:37,600 --> 00:07:38,600
Speaker 3: week's slates, So.

147
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: We hang a star on it there.

148
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 3: Dak going up against Detroit seventh most fantasy points allowed

149
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 3: at nearly twenty per We know Cede Lamb, we know

150
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:50,320
Speaker 3: the usual suspects, and this is a home game, so

151
00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,840
Speaker 3: that means Brandon Cooks, who we saw last week, we

152
00:07:52,880 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 3: saw him that maybe he shows up at home as well.

153
00:07:55,720 --> 00:07:58,320
Speaker 3: I'm gonna go with Brock Purty in the four spot,

154
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,720
Speaker 3: saying the stinger won't keep him out. This is where

155
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 3: I would normally do my sting from wrestling Fame scream

156
00:08:05,480 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 3: or sting from the police synchronicity too. But it's the holidays.

157
00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 3: I've been talking a lot, which means my throat ain't

158
00:08:11,720 --> 00:08:14,800
Speaker 3: about to get there. But Washington tied for the worst

159
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:17,720
Speaker 3: mark against quarterbacks this year, giving up twenty one fantasy

160
00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:20,200
Speaker 3: points per game. And then finally a little bit of

161
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,680
Speaker 3: a price shot. We're gonna go Matthew Stafford going up

162
00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:25,440
Speaker 3: against the New York Football Giants. Still meaningful football to

163
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:28,720
Speaker 3: be played for the Rams. Kyn Williams as a runner

164
00:08:28,800 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 3: receiver has been fantastic, and obviously Cooper Cup finally full

165
00:08:33,000 --> 00:08:36,200
Speaker 3: and back to form alongside Nikua. There's some good things

166
00:08:36,240 --> 00:08:38,920
Speaker 3: happening there with the Rams. An opportunity here on the

167
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:40,079
Speaker 3: road against the Giants.

168
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,920
Speaker 4: Yeah, all excellent plays. I would fully anticipate brock perty

169
00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:48,760
Speaker 4: to return to for him this week. And I again

170
00:08:49,080 --> 00:08:51,280
Speaker 4: as we had mentioned, like there, you're probably not in

171
00:08:51,320 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 4: a championship game if you started brock Perdy because of

172
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 4: ol poorly last week, went for it, Chip.

173
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:58,839
Speaker 2: Bal drill did not go your way.

174
00:08:59,480 --> 00:09:02,440
Speaker 4: No, not at all. But if you're looking at daily

175
00:09:02,480 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 4: fantasy shots, if you're looking to have some fun in

176
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:07,080
Speaker 4: your third or fifth place game or what have you,

177
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 4: party is a fantastic play because that commander's defense just

178
00:09:11,559 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 4: kind of sits down on the field and just watches people.

179
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:18,160
Speaker 4: They blew this gigantic lead to the Jets like it's

180
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,280
Speaker 4: and that's you know, that was Trevor Simeon. So yeah,

181
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:26,199
Speaker 4: that's the brought Purty. Excellent play and all your niners

182
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 4: really excellent place this week.

183
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we get back into good graces.

184
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,960
Speaker 3: That was a game that just went sideways fast and

185
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,160
Speaker 3: there was no recovering all right, from the running back

186
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 3: position to that end.

187
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:38,960
Speaker 2: Let's start with McCaffrey. Normally we pencil them out.

188
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:42,079
Speaker 3: This week, we'll we'll just play it straight with our

189
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:46,280
Speaker 3: top five fifth most fantasy points allowed to running backs

190
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 3: through the air opportunity, no question about it. Washington gives

191
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,720
Speaker 3: up the tenth most receptions per game to running backs

192
00:09:56,760 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 3: across the league, and looking PPR leagues, we're looking to

193
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:02,560
Speaker 3: find gold wh we can. James Cook going up against

194
00:10:02,559 --> 00:10:05,280
Speaker 3: New England as good as the defense is right, they're

195
00:10:05,280 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 3: a middle middle of the road against running backs, but

196
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:12,120
Speaker 3: they've allowed eighty three receptions. He wasn't involved in the

197
00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:15,040
Speaker 3: passing game a week ago. I expect that to get rectified.

198
00:10:15,240 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 3: Kyan Williams, the aforementioned going up against the Giants, they've

199
00:10:18,440 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 3: given up the eighth most fantasy points per game to

200
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 3: opposing running backs. Kyron Williams on the short list of

201
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:28,440
Speaker 3: Fantasy MVP candidates. Since we spent so much hot air

202
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,800
Speaker 3: talking about the other Rashad White, you know my infatuation

203
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:35,040
Speaker 3: with him going up against New Orleans a little bit

204
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:37,680
Speaker 3: of a counterintuitive play here. He's been active in the

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:41,439
Speaker 3: passing game, so I expect to see some work there. Saints,

206
00:10:41,480 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 3: for all of their effectiveness tenth best against running backs

207
00:10:45,320 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 3: for the year, they've given up the third most receptions,

208
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:50,320
Speaker 3: so look for him to get involved in it. Makes

209
00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:52,079
Speaker 3: some plays and finally a guy I don't know that

210
00:10:52,120 --> 00:10:54,520
Speaker 3: we've had him as a top five play this year, bersh.

211
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 3: But Jamiir Gibbs going up against Dallas back to back

212
00:10:57,840 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 3: third place finishes. He's got games with at least twenty

213
00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 3: Fantasy points in his last nine starts.

214
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:07,520
Speaker 4: Yeah, I am seeing a lot of Jamiir Gibbs on

215
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,320
Speaker 4: championship rosters.

216
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:14,240
Speaker 3: Did you see the Matt McCaffrey stat Not to interrupt, no, No,

217
00:11:14,800 --> 00:11:15,640
Speaker 3: fifty eight percent.

218
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:20,400
Speaker 2: Fifty eight percent unbelievable.

219
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,800
Speaker 4: This and that's that warrants a larger conversation of just

220
00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:27,720
Speaker 4: the fact that, like most years, I feel like the

221
00:11:27,840 --> 00:11:31,240
Speaker 4: draft is obviously the draft is always super important and

222
00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:34,560
Speaker 4: indicative for your success, but I never feel like I

223
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:37,280
Speaker 4: absolutely need the number one overall pick going into the

224
00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:40,200
Speaker 4: draft every year because I feel confident in my drafting abilities.

225
00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:42,120
Speaker 4: And you know, if you're later in the first round,

226
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,800
Speaker 4: you get a higher second round pick, and you could

227
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:48,360
Speaker 4: have two basically first rounders there. But this was a

228
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 4: year where you desperately wanted that number one overall pick,

229
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:56,440
Speaker 4: and and it really showed the absolute importance of having

230
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 4: that number one overall pick, because if you're able to

231
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:05,839
Speaker 4: get somebody who everyone's confident is going to lead people

232
00:12:05,880 --> 00:12:09,840
Speaker 4: to fantasy stardom, and sure enough he does. Christian McCaffrey.

233
00:12:09,880 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: I know, prior to the season, I was saying, if

234
00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,000
Speaker 4: I had the one, I would have taken Justin Jefferson,

235
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 4: which looked good for a little bit. There were people too,

236
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:22,319
Speaker 4: Remember there was a late surge draft season where Jamar

237
00:12:22,400 --> 00:12:24,200
Speaker 4: Chase was going number one in a lot of drafts,

238
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:27,959
Speaker 4: and that's that's pretty wild to think about now. But yeah,

239
00:12:28,040 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 4: I mean because I pulled up the rushing leaders because

240
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,600
Speaker 4: I wanted to mention, how you know, James Cook surprisingly

241
00:12:33,640 --> 00:12:35,520
Speaker 4: and it doesn't feel like it. I know, he's had

242
00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:37,959
Speaker 4: some really strong games the last few weeks, but he's

243
00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 4: He's one of four running backs in the league with

244
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:44,160
Speaker 4: over a thousand rushing guards this season, which is you know,

245
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:47,720
Speaker 4: Raheem Mostert is fourth. Kiren Williams of course is second,

246
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:50,160
Speaker 4: and that's with him missing you know, four or five games,

247
00:12:50,800 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 4: and then Christian McCaffrey's blowing everyone away. He's at thirteen

248
00:12:54,080 --> 00:12:56,360
Speaker 4: ninety five Kyen's and second at ten to fifty seven.

249
00:12:57,200 --> 00:13:01,120
Speaker 4: It's it's just astonishing what Christian McCaffrey has done this year.

250
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:05,920
Speaker 4: It just shows the significance of having that number one

251
00:13:05,920 --> 00:13:08,600
Speaker 4: overall pick, and it's gonna make people want to have

252
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:11,360
Speaker 4: that number one over or overall pick even more next season.

253
00:13:11,559 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 3: Well, I feel good because I argued up and down

254
00:13:14,800 --> 00:13:18,080
Speaker 3: for McCaffrey. Yes, I hated myself for it in that

255
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:21,240
Speaker 3: Best Ball league where I got him. I am three

256
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,760
Speaker 3: points off the third place, where I've been playing without

257
00:13:24,800 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 3: a tight end or kicker because of injuries and in

258
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 3: effectiveness for the better part of two months. All right,

259
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,280
Speaker 3: wide receiver top five as we roll through, Ceedee Lamb

260
00:13:36,280 --> 00:13:39,800
Speaker 3: going up against Detroit. We've talked about the susceptibility of

261
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:43,200
Speaker 3: that defense in the passing game to give up big

262
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:47,040
Speaker 3: plays dak at home, big spot, AJ Brown going up

263
00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:51,080
Speaker 3: against Arizona, middle of the road against back. But you

264
00:13:51,160 --> 00:13:55,040
Speaker 3: saw that connection second half with AJ Brown in Week sixteen.

265
00:13:55,200 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 2: Expect more of the same.

266
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,360
Speaker 3: Deebo Samuel versus Washington second most fantasy points allowed. Were

267
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:03,760
Speaker 3: beating up on the Commanders as well. We should as

268
00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:06,199
Speaker 3: they ride out the string and all the inner turmoil

269
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 3: and working start getting exposed once again as people wonder

270
00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:16,040
Speaker 3: what happens. Will we see the Chiefs bring back the enemy?

271
00:14:16,480 --> 00:14:19,440
Speaker 3: How about that crazy right I'm on Ross Saint Brown.

272
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:21,520
Speaker 3: That's the story for another day. Going up against Dallas

273
00:14:21,560 --> 00:14:24,440
Speaker 3: six best against wide outs, but you can't stop the

274
00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 3: short intermediate routes, the PPR opportunity for I'm on Ross

275
00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 3: Saint Brown. So we get him into the mix as

276
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:33,240
Speaker 3: our number four and then my number five.

277
00:14:33,640 --> 00:14:36,840
Speaker 2: I mean it's a there's three guys that I had

278
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: on the list.

279
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:40,160
Speaker 3: You talk about Jefferson, who was the number one overall

280
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 3: pick to some degree, there's no jay R Alexander. He

281
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,200
Speaker 3: was sent home for trying to be the captain. So

282
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,480
Speaker 3: one of the members of that secondary, the beleaguered Green

283
00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:52,320
Speaker 3: Bay secondary out or you got tyreek Hill his tag

284
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 3: team partner.

285
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:54,800
Speaker 2: I could play against Baltimore, but.

286
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 3: I go with option ce Rashi Rice going up against

287
00:14:57,520 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 3: Cincinnati ninth most Fantasy points allow out per game. I

288
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,000
Speaker 3: don't have full faith in the Chiefs offense and who

289
00:15:04,040 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 3: can We'll talk about them, uh a little bit more

290
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 3: here as we go, Bersh. But uh there's my five,

291
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,720
Speaker 3: uh cd lamb A. J. Brown, Deebo, Samuel Aman, Rossaint Brown,

292
00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,080
Speaker 3: and of course Forsh Rice.

293
00:15:16,120 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 4: That uh, that's gay R Alexander's story is just so.

294
00:15:19,200 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 3: It's crazy what the hell else was going on behind

295
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 3: the scenes going what I want to know?

296
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:25,280
Speaker 2: I mean, you're a Packers guy.

297
00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:27,080
Speaker 3: I mean you see that story and then you see

298
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:29,360
Speaker 3: him smiling and talking about it like yeah, I just

299
00:15:29,400 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: went out there.

300
00:15:30,160 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 4: Yeah I was. I saw this, I saw the suspension,

301
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:36,600
Speaker 4: I saw the story, and the whole time, I'm just like,

302
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:39,440
Speaker 4: is this is this as stupid as it seems like?

303
00:15:39,960 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 4: It kind of is like.

304
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 2: What's going on here?

305
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,240
Speaker 4: What caused this happened? Anyway?

306
00:15:46,720 --> 00:15:46,840
Speaker 1: Uh?

307
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,040
Speaker 4: Yeah? But that but the the interesting point there about

308
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,600
Speaker 4: Jefferson is like you hear that, and you and you

309
00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:56,040
Speaker 4: can upgrade Justin Jefferson, and then suddenly Jaren Hall is

310
00:15:56,040 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 4: gonna throw him to the ball and you're like, yeah,

311
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,520
Speaker 4: dang it, all right, Well, I mean Jefferson obviously is

312
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:04,640
Speaker 4: still is still a great play, and if you're in

313
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:07,400
Speaker 4: the championship game, you're playing Justin Jefferson. But I would

314
00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 4: have absolutely felt better it had Nick Mullins been given

315
00:16:12,040 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 4: another go this week, because last week it was just

316
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:18,120
Speaker 4: just run back and just throw it for Nick. And

317
00:16:18,480 --> 00:16:20,320
Speaker 4: sure there were a couple of interceptions there, but there

318
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 4: was also a whole lot of yards, So I don't

319
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 4: know what I don't know what Jaron Hall exactly is

320
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:27,280
Speaker 4: going to bring to the table.

321
00:16:27,280 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 2: Hopefully more of the same.

322
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, because we got a ninja that we need to

323
00:16:31,840 --> 00:16:34,920
Speaker 3: go shopping for here in a little bit. But because

324
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:36,800
Speaker 3: that is that's the other thing is not only you'd

325
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 3: change out the quarterback. That receiving core looks a hell

326
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:41,760
Speaker 3: of a lot different yeap for week seventeen that it

327
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,280
Speaker 3: did for Week sixteen. They're just going and applying bandages

328
00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:45,840
Speaker 3: where they can.

329
00:16:46,640 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 4: Absolutely, so, Yeah, let's let's let's get to those hot place,

330
00:16:50,760 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 4: cold sores and ninjas on the other side, shall we?

331
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 2: Shall we? Yeah?

332
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,440
Speaker 3: We continue. I watch a Flex at Ryan Berschinger. Check

333
00:16:57,480 --> 00:17:00,160
Speaker 3: out the Swing Shift podcast as well. We've got so

334
00:17:00,240 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 3: much more plan for twenty twenty four. Bursh and I

335
00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:06,280
Speaker 3: are going to scream ourselves horse find me over at Swollendome.

336
00:17:06,320 --> 00:17:09,320
Speaker 3: We'll be back with those hot plays, cold soares, and ninjas,

337
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,000
Speaker 3: and not to mention a couple of streaming d's. As

338
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Speaker 3: we continue Week seventeen, I watch a Flex, We continue,

339
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:18,000
Speaker 3: I watch a Flex Championship week adition. Hopefully you're having

340
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:22,720
Speaker 3: a wonderful holiday holiday holiday experience. Maybe Santa gives you

341
00:17:22,760 --> 00:17:26,439
Speaker 3: the late gift of a championship and the winnings that

342
00:17:26,480 --> 00:17:28,480
Speaker 3: come with it, if nothing else, the bragging rights that

343
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,480
Speaker 3: you hold over friend and family for the rest of

344
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:33,400
Speaker 3: the year. Mike Carmin, Ryan Berschinger with you here. We've

345
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 3: already done the Top fives burst, so let's get into it.

346
00:17:36,359 --> 00:17:39,960
Speaker 3: The hot plays, Cold Soares and Ninjas for Week seventeen,

347
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:43,159
Speaker 3: heading into your streaming defenses to try to bring it

348
00:17:43,200 --> 00:17:46,040
Speaker 3: on home. The hot plays for the week. We start

349
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:48,760
Speaker 3: with Baker Mayfield. He's on everybody's lips as we try

350
00:17:48,760 --> 00:17:52,080
Speaker 3: to figure out quarterback rotations for twenty twenty four.

351
00:17:52,160 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 2: Give them a long term deal. Suddenly everybody loves them.

352
00:17:54,720 --> 00:17:56,760
Speaker 3: It's something we've been talking about on the podcast for

353
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,680
Speaker 3: a long time, even with some of the struggles sometimes

354
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:05,120
Speaker 3: disappearing from Rashad White, who's become a fantasy darling here

355
00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:07,280
Speaker 3: of late in the passing game. And Mike Evans has

356
00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:10,280
Speaker 3: been fantastic. We know the battles that he has with

357
00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 3: the New Orleans secondary, so let's see if we get

358
00:18:12,720 --> 00:18:14,879
Speaker 3: a little bit more of that, but maybe some Baker

359
00:18:15,040 --> 00:18:18,040
Speaker 3: magic trying to win a division and get.

360
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:18,879
Speaker 2: To the playoffs out right.

361
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:23,080
Speaker 3: As we record this on Thursday, everything's trending for CJ.

362
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,280
Speaker 3: Stroud to get back onto the field, which means we

363
00:18:26,320 --> 00:18:28,919
Speaker 3: get excited about the potential of that offense going up

364
00:18:28,920 --> 00:18:31,600
Speaker 3: against the Tennessee defense. So we put a pin in it.

365
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:36,080
Speaker 3: And that's a daily fantasy play, right, little risk, high

366
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:39,520
Speaker 3: reward kind of situation for fantasy titles. I might still

367
00:18:39,600 --> 00:18:41,560
Speaker 3: back off a little bit unless I'm looking at the

368
00:18:41,600 --> 00:18:44,639
Speaker 3: matchup and it's projecting really bad things because of my

369
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:48,240
Speaker 3: quarterback position, then maybe I roll the dice there. But

370
00:18:48,280 --> 00:18:51,080
Speaker 3: we put him out here just because he is trending

371
00:18:51,119 --> 00:18:53,880
Speaker 3: towards playing, and that means make some of these other

372
00:18:54,400 --> 00:18:57,640
Speaker 3: fantasy options viable as well. Austin Eckler haven't been able

373
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:00,119
Speaker 3: to go and roll his name up too off and

374
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,760
Speaker 3: here going up against Denver. Denver has giving up one

375
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 3: hundred and thirteen receptions to running backs this year. Chargers,

376
00:19:08,400 --> 00:19:10,280
Speaker 3: you know they are still playing with pride and for

377
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,000
Speaker 3: Eckler in particular. If you listen to the home broadcast

378
00:19:13,040 --> 00:19:15,920
Speaker 3: Our Guys ninety eight to seven here in Los Angeles,

379
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:19,399
Speaker 3: where we broadcast from Matt Mney Smith Daniel Jeremiah, they

380
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:23,040
Speaker 3: did a lot of talking about Eckler's contract incentives and

381
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,440
Speaker 3: every effort that will be made to help him hit

382
00:19:25,520 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 3: those at certainly his own effort in intestinal fortitude. Here's

383
00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:32,199
Speaker 3: one with a little bit of a question mark to it,

384
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 3: because this go well.

385
00:19:33,480 --> 00:19:36,520
Speaker 2: It could go terribly. Sakwuon Barkley going up against the Rams.

386
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 3: In his last five games, he's got three top ten

387
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:42,040
Speaker 3: games and he's got two games outside of the top

388
00:19:42,160 --> 00:19:45,520
Speaker 3: forty going against the Rams. Second best against running backs,

389
00:19:45,520 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 3: but it is a home date, possible sloppy track. All

390
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,720
Speaker 3: of those things come together. Wide receiver circle back to

391
00:19:51,800 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 3: Nico Collins. With that potential reinsertion of CJ. Stroud, you

392
00:19:56,560 --> 00:19:59,000
Speaker 3: know they're becoming one of the dynamic duos.

393
00:19:59,000 --> 00:19:59,240
Speaker 2: Guys.

394
00:19:59,280 --> 00:20:03,040
Speaker 3: We've talked about my investment in Nico Collins before the year,

395
00:20:03,520 --> 00:20:05,760
Speaker 3: paying off nicely in the Best Ball League and others.

396
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,520
Speaker 3: Cooper Cup, we've talked about him a bit. Do need

397
00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,040
Speaker 3: to belabor the point here? And then finally a guy

398
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:14,120
Speaker 3: from your squad, Bursch that we've kind of well, we've

399
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:18,560
Speaker 3: dragged him much of the year because in effectiveness, unavailability,

400
00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:22,400
Speaker 3: and that's Aaron Jones going up against Minnesota. Opportunity here

401
00:20:22,480 --> 00:20:25,120
Speaker 3: maybe to build on a nice week sixteen.

402
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:29,600
Speaker 4: Yes, I like the Aaron Jones play there. He just

403
00:20:29,640 --> 00:20:32,280
Speaker 4: had a great week against the Panthers, and that offense

404
00:20:32,400 --> 00:20:34,960
Speaker 4: is moving well when he's running the ball well, So

405
00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:38,520
Speaker 4: definitely a great play with Jones. I think I like

406
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,000
Speaker 4: Saquon a lot this week. I know there are people

407
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 4: who are scared because the Rams have been especially stout

408
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,960
Speaker 4: to running backs over the last few weeks. But as

409
00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:50,719
Speaker 4: you're pointing out, when it's with Saquon, it's either a

410
00:20:50,760 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 4: really poor performance or an excellent one. And he's coming

411
00:20:53,440 --> 00:20:55,560
Speaker 4: off of that great performance against the Eagles, which is

412
00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 4: not an easy team to have a great performance against

413
00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:01,720
Speaker 4: on the ground. Also, to Ron Taylor back at quarterback,

414
00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:05,240
Speaker 4: I feel like there's a little bit more of a

415
00:21:05,320 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 4: reliance there with working with Saquan, both in the run

416
00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,720
Speaker 4: game and in the passing game. So I like Saquan

417
00:21:12,800 --> 00:21:15,199
Speaker 4: a lot this week, and I'm definitely hoping that he

418
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:15,720
Speaker 4: comes through.

419
00:21:15,960 --> 00:21:16,720
Speaker 2: I think for.

420
00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,960
Speaker 3: Daily fantasy purposes, you'll get him at a little bit

421
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,800
Speaker 3: of a discount based on the algorithm.

422
00:21:20,920 --> 00:21:23,520
Speaker 2: So something to look for as you go through cold

423
00:21:23,520 --> 00:21:24,240
Speaker 2: source for the week.

424
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,080
Speaker 3: We talked about going big game hunting, and we do

425
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 3: it at the quarterback position. You referenced it very early

426
00:21:29,240 --> 00:21:31,719
Speaker 3: on as we were talking about two of versus Lamar,

427
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:33,400
Speaker 3: that he'd be outside.

428
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:33,879
Speaker 2: Of your top twelve.

429
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 3: Sure as hell is for me third best going up

430
00:21:36,640 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 3: against quarterbacks Jalen Waddle with the high ankle spray unlikely

431
00:21:40,880 --> 00:21:43,400
Speaker 3: to go. Doesn't mean we don't have a potential ninja

432
00:21:43,560 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 3: to throw up on the radar for your daily plays

433
00:21:46,600 --> 00:21:50,640
Speaker 3: and maybe the long shot WR three category, But for two,

434
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,560
Speaker 3: it's a no fly zone based on what Baltimore was

435
00:21:53,560 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 3: able to do getting after Purdy against a really good

436
00:21:56,200 --> 00:21:59,600
Speaker 3: offensive line a week ago. I know we saw Williams

437
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:01,760
Speaker 3: leave that game after a while, but the damage had

438
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,920
Speaker 3: been done. Going against Miami with all the injuries they've had,

439
00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:08,240
Speaker 3: the look two is going to be practicing that little

440
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,639
Speaker 3: cart roll thing that he's been doing to learn to

441
00:22:11,680 --> 00:22:14,040
Speaker 3: stay out of harm's way. He's gonna have to exercise

442
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:17,119
Speaker 3: that a lot against that Baltimore front. How about Patrick Mahomes,

443
00:22:17,359 --> 00:22:21,080
Speaker 3: I'm not trusting them Championship week, and that's tough to say.

444
00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 3: Right through sixteen weeks, you've probably had the highs lows.

445
00:22:25,119 --> 00:22:27,800
Speaker 3: Maybe you've benched him once or twice along the way.

446
00:22:28,600 --> 00:22:31,120
Speaker 3: He's got one top ten finished Bursch in his last

447
00:22:31,119 --> 00:22:36,000
Speaker 3: seven games, geez one in his last look, and it

448
00:22:36,040 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 3: would it shock me if he went out and put

449
00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 3: up a thirty five point performance. No, I did have

450
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,720
Speaker 3: Rashi Rice as a top five and we know Kelsey,

451
00:22:43,800 --> 00:22:46,359
Speaker 3: even with the drops and issues, is still you know,

452
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:50,240
Speaker 3: a top seven tight end at worst. But opportunity here

453
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 3: to be seeking a second option and think about it

454
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,480
Speaker 3: winning a fantasy title with Mahomes on your bench. Oddness

455
00:22:57,800 --> 00:23:00,280
Speaker 3: in twenty twenty three. Kenneth Walker the Third going up

456
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:03,400
Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh. I like Walker the Third. You know he's

457
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,320
Speaker 3: still probably gonna be at the back end of your

458
00:23:05,560 --> 00:23:08,800
Speaker 3: RB twos, But a little difficult sledding here going up

459
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,320
Speaker 3: against Pittsburgh team that still has, you know, their hopes

460
00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 3: towards some kind of chaos in all of this, especially

461
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,440
Speaker 3: the old Mike Tomlin record thing. DeAndre Swift why because

462
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 3: he doesn't get any calls inside the red zone? He

463
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 3: did get that elusive touchdown in week sixteen, finished fourteenth

464
00:23:26,440 --> 00:23:29,680
Speaker 3: amongst running backs, twenty eighth or worse in the four

465
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:33,800
Speaker 3: weeks before that. Can't do it, can't get on board it.

466
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 3: Stefan Diggs going up against New England again, a guy

467
00:23:36,520 --> 00:23:38,520
Speaker 3: that you're gonna be reticent to sit.

468
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 2: He's got one top forty performance in the last.

469
00:23:42,080 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 4: Six weeks, my goodness.

470
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:47,160
Speaker 3: All right, And Gabe Davis same thing. It's like, ah,

471
00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 3: there he was, he popped up. I can't do it again.

472
00:23:50,400 --> 00:23:54,200
Speaker 3: And DeAndre Hopkins that monster game that he had where

473
00:23:54,200 --> 00:23:57,840
Speaker 3: he was top five seems like so so long ago.

474
00:23:58,560 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 3: Last matchup against Houston two catches out of nine targets

475
00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,199
Speaker 3: for twenty one yards. Nope, back to back bad weeks.

476
00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 3: We thought there was some feel good going on there,

477
00:24:08,680 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 3: No chance.

478
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,639
Speaker 4: Yeah, I was actually like toying with the idea. I

479
00:24:12,640 --> 00:24:14,879
Speaker 4: was looking at Hopkins on my bench and I was thinking, like,

480
00:24:15,480 --> 00:24:17,720
Speaker 4: do I want to buy into the to the well,

481
00:24:17,760 --> 00:24:20,320
Speaker 4: He's returning to Houston, so maybe he's gonna go off.

482
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:24,880
Speaker 4: So yeah, I'm like, yeah, you did have nine targets

483
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:27,480
Speaker 4: in that game, but no, the reality is is that, Yeah,

484
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:30,320
Speaker 4: ever since he had those first couple strong games with

485
00:24:30,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: Will Levis, it's really been not much for Hopkins at all.

486
00:24:34,560 --> 00:24:36,840
Speaker 4: And I've got, you know, I've got Nico Collins as

487
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,600
Speaker 4: somebody I can roll with instead. Definitely gonna jump on that,

488
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 4: especially with Stroud coming back into that game. So yeah,

489
00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:46,720
Speaker 4: and Stefan Diggs, My goodness, how hard.

490
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:47,080
Speaker 2: Is that though?

491
00:24:47,280 --> 00:24:49,320
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, because you had a lot of opportunity and

492
00:24:49,359 --> 00:24:52,280
Speaker 3: you had some big games and then obviously change at

493
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,320
Speaker 3: the OC so you're using the run game more. And look,

494
00:24:55,359 --> 00:24:58,200
Speaker 3: he made a catch in that game in week sixteen,

495
00:24:58,320 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 3: one of those Hey, you'd put that.

496
00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:00,640
Speaker 2: On the high highlight reel.

497
00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:03,800
Speaker 3: Unfortunately it happened you know, at the thirty five yard

498
00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:07,080
Speaker 3: line or whatever, but it extended to drive and you

499
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:10,880
Speaker 3: keep moving. But it's just the kind of thing where opportunities,

500
00:25:11,200 --> 00:25:14,480
Speaker 3: you know, for the the big play and the glory

501
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,399
Speaker 3: touches at the in the red zone haven't been there,

502
00:25:16,480 --> 00:25:19,320
Speaker 3: especially when you got Alan taking so many of them

503
00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:21,840
Speaker 3: himself on the ground. Right, we're in the double digit

504
00:25:21,960 --> 00:25:26,080
Speaker 3: touchdowns forty overall for the year. But yeah, for Diggs,

505
00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,480
Speaker 3: great expectations. He'll be on the what the hell happened

506
00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,760
Speaker 3: lists that we compile as we finished the year, because

507
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,600
Speaker 3: there's certainly a few guys where it's like it looked

508
00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:39,160
Speaker 3: great and on a per game basis, you had spots here,

509
00:25:39,320 --> 00:25:41,800
Speaker 3: here and here, but the overall chart is ugly.

510
00:25:42,000 --> 00:25:44,159
Speaker 4: Yeah, when we as we were talking about earlier with

511
00:25:44,200 --> 00:25:46,680
Speaker 4: the McCaffrey. When we take a look back at at

512
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,480
Speaker 4: the way the first round went this year, and if

513
00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,000
Speaker 4: you were at the back end of the first round,

514
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,080
Speaker 4: you probably ended up with somebody like Stefan Diggs or

515
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:57,880
Speaker 4: Tony Pollard or Tony Pollard.

516
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,400
Speaker 2: Oh, you justered a bunch of people right now.

517
00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:05,000
Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, and I'm sorry. I I wanted Pollard and

518
00:26:05,040 --> 00:26:08,400
Speaker 4: one in one of my drafts, but I went with Actually,

519
00:26:08,440 --> 00:26:10,639
Speaker 4: I Cooper Cup was the first round pick for me,

520
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:13,560
Speaker 4: and uh and you know I ended up having to

521
00:26:13,560 --> 00:26:17,080
Speaker 4: trade him mid season because I had no running backs

522
00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:19,360
Speaker 4: on that team except for Karen Williams. But then when

523
00:26:19,440 --> 00:26:22,000
Speaker 4: Karen Williams was gone, I had I had no I

524
00:26:22,119 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 4: there was a week where I started Kenneth Gainwell and

525
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:29,920
Speaker 4: it's that guy on the Saints exactly, this is out.

526
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,280
Speaker 3: Exactly well, I don't know. They've gone through a number

527
00:26:33,280 --> 00:26:34,840
Speaker 3: of guys behind the.

528
00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:38,440
Speaker 4: Rookie Kendre Miller, Kendrack Miller. Sure, yeah, I rolled out

529
00:26:38,480 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 4: Kendrey Miller. When I started Elijah Mitchell in a week

530
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:42,959
Speaker 4: where he had negative two yards like it was.

531
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 2: I remember that week I watched you pace.

532
00:26:46,119 --> 00:26:49,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, tough time, no tough times, but here we are

533
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: Week seventeen, finishing strong.

534
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:53,800
Speaker 2: We got the Ninja list here for you.

535
00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,600
Speaker 3: How about James Connor going up against Philadelphia opportunity not

536
00:26:57,640 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 3: only as the bulldozer that he is, but catching the

537
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:03,040
Speaker 3: all out of the backfield. And we certainly have watched

538
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,760
Speaker 3: Philadelphia's defense be carved at different points.

539
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:08,199
Speaker 2: Does that happen with Philly?

540
00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,280
Speaker 3: You know, their coach certainly has some motivations to say, hey,

541
00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 3: I was kind of good, and I can show you

542
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:17,720
Speaker 3: I was good once again. Zamir White, we put him

543
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:21,720
Speaker 3: on here. Jacobs is trending towards playing as we sit

544
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:24,879
Speaker 3: here on Thursday recording this, but an opportunity against Indianapolis

545
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:29,479
Speaker 3: back to back top twelve finishes for White, so a

546
00:27:29,520 --> 00:27:32,359
Speaker 3: situation to keep your eye on. Also, just from a

547
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:35,280
Speaker 3: workload standpoint, even if Jacobs is back, still think you

548
00:27:35,359 --> 00:27:37,840
Speaker 3: might see double digit touches from Zamir White giving a

549
00:27:37,880 --> 00:27:41,200
Speaker 3: little bit of an opportunity as a flyer quarterback position.

550
00:27:41,560 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 3: You know how I feel about Derek Carr. But here

551
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:47,439
Speaker 3: we are with an opportunity against Tampa Bay. This is

552
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,800
Speaker 3: one of the more interesting games I think for the week.

553
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:53,200
Speaker 3: He's got back to back top ten finishes Rashid Shahed,

554
00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,320
Speaker 3: a guy we put up on the radar. Put a

555
00:27:55,359 --> 00:27:59,920
Speaker 3: pin in that one for you, and certainly opportunity Jared Stidham.

556
00:28:00,600 --> 00:28:02,760
Speaker 3: We could do three hours on all of the fun

557
00:28:02,760 --> 00:28:06,959
Speaker 3: stuff going on in Denver with contracts and a lot

558
00:28:07,040 --> 00:28:09,320
Speaker 3: of the stuff that we broke down during the year

559
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,399
Speaker 3: of you know, trying to convince people that maybe there'd

560
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:13,800
Speaker 3: be a tweak to help Jerry Judy.

561
00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 2: Well it never came.

562
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 3: But it's nice to see people pinpoint the stuff we

563
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,960
Speaker 3: pointed out in week six, seven, eight, etc. Come to

564
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 3: bear that even though things might have cosmetically looked pretty

565
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 3: good in Russell's stat sheets and the overall box score,

566
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,399
Speaker 3: that there were some problems. Well, now add the contract stuff.

567
00:28:31,400 --> 00:28:33,760
Speaker 3: You got some issues going up against Chargers D. Did

568
00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:37,679
Speaker 3: they have their you know, big hurrah in week sixteen?

569
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,720
Speaker 3: Can they have the same defensive effort for another role.

570
00:28:42,600 --> 00:28:45,680
Speaker 3: I'm not so fast. I think with Stidham they'll be

571
00:28:45,720 --> 00:28:47,960
Speaker 3: able to roll some stuff out, because if nothing else,

572
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:50,160
Speaker 3: Sean Payton wants to show you what a genius he is.

573
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 2: I don't mean that.

574
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:57,160
Speaker 3: Necessarily as derisively and derogatorily as it may set No

575
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:01,880
Speaker 3: I do Jackson Smith and Jigba going up against Pittsburgh

576
00:29:02,200 --> 00:29:05,960
Speaker 3: Secondary still banged up, a lot of injuries there, opportunity

577
00:29:05,960 --> 00:29:08,920
Speaker 3: here we've seen his share rise, and then we talked

578
00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:11,360
Speaker 3: about that Minnesota game. I don't know what to expect

579
00:29:11,360 --> 00:29:14,640
Speaker 3: with Hall, but kJ Osborne has an opportunity here right

580
00:29:15,160 --> 00:29:17,600
Speaker 3: eight for ninety nine in the first matchup with Green

581
00:29:17,640 --> 00:29:21,240
Speaker 3: Bay last week, five catches, ninety five yards and a score.

582
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:23,840
Speaker 3: Jordan Addison probably not going to be able to go,

583
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:26,720
Speaker 3: and we know TJ. Hockinson's out, which means there's a

584
00:29:26,800 --> 00:29:29,960
Speaker 3: share of catches to be had. Why not a little

585
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 3: bit of k J Osborne? And then last because we

586
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 3: love veterans, and then some guys we've really never heard of,

587
00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:41,560
Speaker 3: Adam Feeling going up against Jacksonville. They've been siv like defensively.

588
00:29:41,800 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 3: Opportunity for Feeling to pile up some more numbers to

589
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:47,480
Speaker 3: make the season look better at least for him. And

590
00:29:47,520 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 3: then Robbie chosen again daily fantasy opportunities here Bursch. When

591
00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:57,080
Speaker 3: we look at guys that step up, next man up

592
00:29:57,160 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 3: kind of thing, Jalen Waddle not probably not going to

593
00:29:59,720 --> 00:30:02,600
Speaker 3: go with the high ankle Tyreek Hill. You might as

594
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:06,000
Speaker 3: well go box and one old college basketball style and

595
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 3: let someone else try to beat you.

596
00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:09,840
Speaker 2: If you're the Baltimore defense.

597
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:14,920
Speaker 4: It would truly be phenomenal. If Robbie Chosen becomes a

598
00:30:14,960 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 4: hero on Championship Week in fantasy football, that would be

599
00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 4: that would be awesome, shocking. It was so good. And yes,

600
00:30:23,160 --> 00:30:26,080
Speaker 4: I like the kJ Osborne play a lot because I'm like,

601
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:30,040
Speaker 4: are we really thinking that TJ. Howkinson's targets are just

602
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 4: gonna go to Josh Oliver? I think those are going

603
00:30:33,120 --> 00:30:36,400
Speaker 4: to Osborne, especially with thatis and banged ups, So I

604
00:30:36,440 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 4: think that there's a great play there and great opportunity.

605
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:43,360
Speaker 3: Well, so there's the Ninja's all right, Bursch, it's winning time.

606
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 3: We've seen a lot of guys. I mean, it's not

607
00:30:46,080 --> 00:30:48,640
Speaker 3: quite college bowl season with opt outs and stuff. But

608
00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:51,240
Speaker 3: let's face it, the injury lists are a mile long,

609
00:30:51,320 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 3: a lot of strange bedfellows, the quarterback position battered and beaten.

610
00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 3: Here got a couple of defenses that we can throw

611
00:30:58,120 --> 00:31:00,880
Speaker 3: up from the waiver wire to find us some fantasy glory.

612
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:04,440
Speaker 4: You know what's tough is is this week it's it

613
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:06,920
Speaker 4: is not a great week for those who stream.

614
00:31:07,280 --> 00:31:08,040
Speaker 2: And this is.

615
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:11,000
Speaker 4: Why if you if you subscribe fully to the waiver

616
00:31:11,600 --> 00:31:14,720
Speaker 4: or to the streaming defense theory. When you get to

617
00:31:14,760 --> 00:31:18,080
Speaker 4: the postseason, you have to plan a couple weeks ahead,

618
00:31:18,400 --> 00:31:22,760
Speaker 4: and you got to carry that second defense because you're

619
00:31:22,880 --> 00:31:24,680
Speaker 4: you get to a situation like this where you're looking

620
00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:28,640
Speaker 4: at the waiver wire and the options are are not awesome.

621
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 2: Overall.

622
00:31:30,360 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 4: Look, if if a team like the Colts or the

623
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 4: Rams or the Jaguars is available to you, then then

624
00:31:36,040 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 4: take that. They They've all got advantageous matchups, you know,

625
00:31:39,760 --> 00:31:41,960
Speaker 4: Colts with the Raiders, the Rams with the Giants, the

626
00:31:42,080 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 4: Jaguars with the Panthers. But in the leagues that I'm in,

627
00:31:46,360 --> 00:31:48,480
Speaker 4: I don't see any of them available. The teams that

628
00:31:48,480 --> 00:31:52,520
Speaker 4: I'm seeing more available is a team like the Seahawks

629
00:31:53,160 --> 00:31:56,240
Speaker 4: against the Steelers. Yes, I know I faded Mason Rudolph

630
00:31:56,320 --> 00:32:00,680
Speaker 4: last week and it did not work, but I I

631
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:03,200
Speaker 4: still want to fade them, so sure.

632
00:32:02,920 --> 00:32:05,320
Speaker 3: I know, I know, well, I mean it was Christmas week.

633
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:09,400
Speaker 3: If Rudolph can't deliver exactly, you know, Christmas Eve Eve,

634
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: when's it gonna happen.

635
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:14,760
Speaker 4: I know some people like the Falcons as an option

636
00:32:14,800 --> 00:32:18,640
Speaker 4: against Chicago. I'm not crazy about that. Just because I'm

637
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:21,360
Speaker 4: not super high on the Falcons defense as a unit,

638
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,760
Speaker 4: and I still think, I still think that Justin Fields

639
00:32:23,800 --> 00:32:28,000
Speaker 4: could put up points against them, But there's an option there,

640
00:32:28,400 --> 00:32:30,800
Speaker 4: and I know you you had just mentioned Jarrett Stidham

641
00:32:31,080 --> 00:32:33,560
Speaker 4: and if we were looking really deep here and you

642
00:32:33,560 --> 00:32:37,760
Speaker 4: don't have many options whatsoever at all. I don't hate

643
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 4: the Chargers this week as a stream, simply because we

644
00:32:40,400 --> 00:32:42,760
Speaker 4: don't know what we're going to get with that Broncos offense,

645
00:32:43,440 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 4: and they do appear to be playing motivated. You know,

646
00:32:47,120 --> 00:32:49,720
Speaker 4: a gift Smith comes in and says, if it looks

647
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:51,680
Speaker 4: like for a second you're not trying, I'm gonna pull

648
00:32:51,720 --> 00:32:53,240
Speaker 4: you off the field. I don't care who you are.

649
00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,120
Speaker 4: That seemed to work for their defense last week, and

650
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,720
Speaker 4: I think it's fair to to to make a bet

651
00:32:59,760 --> 00:33:03,040
Speaker 4: that could happen again. It's not a not a play

652
00:33:03,080 --> 00:33:06,040
Speaker 4: that I love by any means, but it is a

653
00:33:06,040 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 4: play that I think that if you're if if you

654
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 4: are desperate and you need to take a shot here,

655
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:13,600
Speaker 4: I think there's some value in that.

656
00:33:14,520 --> 00:33:18,360
Speaker 3: Fantastic stuff at Ryan Berschegar where you find him on Twitter,

657
00:33:18,400 --> 00:33:21,120
Speaker 3: find me over at swollen Gom. This has been the

658
00:33:21,240 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 3: I watch your Flex Holiday Championship week experience. Good luck

659
00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:28,760
Speaker 3: to all of you out there. Can't wait to hear

660
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 3: your tales of victory or whoa, We'll be back for

661
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:32,840
Speaker 3: week eighteen.

662
00:33:33,400 --> 00:33:34,360
Speaker 2: Good luck this weekend.

663
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 4: Oh you too, Mike, You too, Mike. You can get

664
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,360
Speaker 4: close to me in guillotine, but not full.

665
00:33:41,240 --> 00:33:44,080
Speaker 3: Oh no, I'm done. I'm done, buddy. I mean it's

666
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,480
Speaker 3: not even close Bush Bush. I mean, look, you're chasing

667
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,320
Speaker 3: down Lingard. If I can get myself just to the

668
00:33:51,320 --> 00:33:53,800
Speaker 3: third slot at this point, it would be an accomplishment.

669
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 3: It would I could just get my entry feedback. That

670
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:00,640
Speaker 3: would be a very big win for this guy here,

671
00:34:00,840 --> 00:34:04,880
Speaker 3: because I mean, look, I make no excuses for it.

672
00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:07,080
Speaker 2: I couldn't make the draft. It was auto picked.

673
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:09,920
Speaker 3: So the fact that I'm still alive after wheeling and

674
00:34:09,960 --> 00:34:12,920
Speaker 3: dealing and wasting four hundred of my fictional dollars on

675
00:34:13,160 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 3: Justin Herbert, I'm.

676
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:14,960
Speaker 2: Feeling pretty good.

677
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,080
Speaker 3: Oh and another one hundred on Patrick Mahomes, two guys

678
00:34:19,080 --> 00:34:22,520
Speaker 3: I would never start even if Herbert were still playing.

679
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 2: So there you go.

680
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:27,760
Speaker 3: The foibles, the good, the bad, the ugly of Fantasy

681
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 3: twenty twenty three.

682
00:34:29,120 --> 00:34:31,840
Speaker 2: Bursch, good luck in that matchup.

683
00:34:31,880 --> 00:34:34,120
Speaker 3: I hope you can chase down Lingard if nothing else,

684
00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:37,760
Speaker 3: we can get him to tape a rant once that happens.

685
00:34:38,160 --> 00:34:39,880
Speaker 3: But you know what, we have another week plus, we

686
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:42,400
Speaker 3: got two more weekends of football before that happens.

687
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:47,200
Speaker 4: So let's hope it doesn't.

688
00:34:45,200 --> 00:34:45,480
Speaker 1: I don't.

689
00:34:47,239 --> 00:34:49,359
Speaker 3: Well, let's celebrate all of them. We got thirty two

690
00:34:49,480 --> 00:34:53,160
Speaker 3: left as we record this. Obviously, by time you hear it,

691
00:34:53,840 --> 00:34:56,760
Speaker 3: the Browns and the Jets will be in the books,

692
00:34:57,080 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 3: leaving us with just thirty one lorious games left on

693
00:35:01,239 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 3: this regular season schedule. Because yeah, you don't you think

694
00:35:04,520 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 3: I'm kidding. You're gonna be watching, you know, the Wizards

695
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:10,239
Speaker 3: take on the Pistons before long, and then you'll be

696
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:13,160
Speaker 3: wishing it that you had the Browns and the Jets

697
00:35:13,200 --> 00:35:14,879
Speaker 3: to watch on Thursday night.

698
00:35:15,239 --> 00:35:19,400
Speaker 4: Oh seriously, yeah, exactly.

699
00:35:19,520 --> 00:35:20,480
Speaker 2: Celebrate them all.

700
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:24,160
Speaker 3: Happy holidays, all happy New Year, and we'll see you

701
00:35:24,239 --> 00:35:26,520
Speaker 3: back for Week eighteen of My Watcher Flex
