Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Monday, November twenty fifth, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We've got our
Speaker 1: Thanksgiving me and you all worked out. It's being your man,
Speaker 1: NAMG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones.
Speaker 1: I'm making assumptions on behalf of you, guys. I assume
Speaker 1: you have your Thanksgiving menus all worked out, correct.
Speaker 2: Eh, I mean shopping on Saturday for it.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: I got the turkey. I guess I didn't get the
Speaker 2: macaroon and cheese because I've been getting attacked all week
Speaker 2: in the comments. So it's like we are not doing
Speaker 2: turkey in my house. Oh yeah, he's not even a
Speaker 2: turkey guy. Turkey's overrated. That is my Thanksgiving take.
Speaker 1: I mean, look, turkey is fine, but yeah, like getting
Speaker 1: a whole turkey and cooking it, it's just it's a
Speaker 1: lot more work than you want to do it, like otherwise,
Speaker 1: just like slice Deli turkey.
Speaker 3: That's that's not kind of the extent of my my
Speaker 3: turkey eating.
Speaker 2: Mike doesn't like turkey from what I'm told, you don't
Speaker 2: like it. I like turkey. I it's like bottom barrel meat.
Speaker 2: Though I would say.
Speaker 4: Like we're going ham instead and doing like a bake
Speaker 4: zd because those are two both infinitely better foods than
Speaker 4: a whole turkey.
Speaker 3: Uh, that's fair.
Speaker 2: Bad Takes Food Rankings. Can we get that? Like, come on,
Speaker 2: that's that's that's kind of up there.
Speaker 1: We want to put together a food rankings, a Bad
Speaker 1: Food Takes ranking at some point in the off season.
Speaker 4: I think people would defend mac and cheese over turkey
Speaker 4: any day of the week.
Speaker 3: That's probably true.
Speaker 2: There's nothing wrong with mac and cheese. I just think
Speaker 2: it's overrated. For Thanksgiving, you can eat it.
Speaker 1: Had no idea, I honestly, I'm sorry that I have
Speaker 1: opened this can of worms. I didn't know we were
Speaker 1: going to get into this. I will say a turkey leg, thoff.
Speaker 1: You don't want to cook a whole turkey, just buy
Speaker 1: a turkey leg and that's gonna be good enough for
Speaker 1: a couple of people. Anyway, we got a lot to
Speaker 1: get into today. We got the biggest takeaways from week twelve.
Speaker 1: We'll have the waiver wire as well. And uh laqwan,
Speaker 1: that is a nice head of black hair you have.
Speaker 1: Would be a shame if something happened to it. We'll
Speaker 1: get to that a little later on in the show
Speaker 1: as well. What let's start with some fantasy headlines and
Speaker 1: that not a ton of headlines. You have some kind
Speaker 1: of smaller injuries that will be monitoring as the week
Speaker 1: goes along, But one of the bigger ones, Gardner Minshew,
Speaker 1: is now out for the rest of the year. He
Speaker 1: suffered a broken collar bone in the Raiders loss to
Speaker 1: the Denver Broncos on Sunday. It looks like aight and
Speaker 1: O'Connell possibly could be back yesterday. It was Desmond Ridder
Speaker 1: that took over the rest of the way for the Raiders. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, Florio, I mean, we've all been in on
Speaker 1: brock Bauers. He's been fantastic. I know you have been
Speaker 1: a big Jacobi Meyers proponent over the last couple of weeks.
Speaker 1: If it's AOC, if it's des been riddered, how are
Speaker 1: we feeling about the primary pass catchers in Vegas?
Speaker 4: When you anytime, especially this late in the season, you
Speaker 4: have a change at play caller, it's never ideal because we,
Speaker 4: like you said, we knew brock Bowers and Jacoby Myers
Speaker 4: were going to get volume with Gardner Minshew. But it's
Speaker 4: also not like whichever way they go, AOC or Desmond
Speaker 4: Ridder is a huge quarterback downgrade considering who their starting
Speaker 4: quarterback was and considering the fact that before AOC got hurt,
Speaker 4: they had already made the move to him away from
Speaker 4: Gardner Minshew. So I think brock Bauers is very much
Speaker 4: so still in play because of the tight end position
Speaker 4: and how much upside he brings. This week, no team's
Speaker 4: on buy. If you want to play it safe and
Speaker 4: get away from Jacoby Myers, I think you can. But
Speaker 4: I'm really not all that worried about him. I still
Speaker 4: think he is going to get a ton of volume,
Speaker 4: still going to prop him up. He gets a lot
Speaker 4: of shorter targets too, So I think those guys could
Speaker 4: still elevate Jacoby Myers to what he's been outside of
Speaker 4: those two though. I don't really want to do the Raiders,
Speaker 4: especially this week against the Chiefs.
Speaker 2: So yeah, on.
Speaker 4: Black Friday, I know you're gonna be watching that game,
Speaker 4: but I don't want to start a whole bunch of them.
Speaker 1: It is kind of a shorter week. They play on
Speaker 1: Friday against Kansas City. We'll get into that game later
Speaker 1: on in the week on this show. But for now,
Speaker 1: a quarterback change is a foot in Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: The stash is done for the year. We will see.
Speaker 1: Let just say, I guess is he just the stash
Speaker 1: because Aidan O'Connell also has kind of a weird looks
Speaker 1: like it's been drawn in with a pencil kind of
Speaker 1: mustache too.
Speaker 2: Definitely different vibes, but similar outcome. It's like a nineteen
Speaker 2: twenty style mustache. Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It's very much like you know, I mean, he's like,
Speaker 1: I'm at a quarterback. There's team here, sure Like that's
Speaker 1: kind of the mustache that he has.
Speaker 3: For aid and O'Connell.
Speaker 1: We'll see whether it's or Desmond Ritter, who I don't
Speaker 1: think has a mustache at all. So he needs to
Speaker 1: get with the times there to be the quarterback in
Speaker 1: Las Vegas. Yeah, all right, let's take a look at
Speaker 1: some of the week's top scorers. Still one game left
Speaker 1: to be played on Monday night. It is the Horror Bowl,
Speaker 1: I guess, as they're calling it at so FI Stadium.
Speaker 1: But then in the meantime, Jayden Daniels with a nice
Speaker 1: bounced back game. I got you over thirty points, two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy five pass yards of passing touchdowns, also
Speaker 1: seventy four rushing yards and a score on the ground.
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley just went ham two hundred and fifty five
Speaker 1: rushing yards, a pair of touchdowns, four catches for forty
Speaker 1: seven yards, forty six point two points. Funny side note today,
Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley yesterday had more yards all by himself than
Speaker 1: the entire Giants offense.
Speaker 2: Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 3: Then Hey, look, I'm not poking for the Rams.
Speaker 2: I'm poking five. It was a giant.
Speaker 1: It's not about yours team, like they were standing on
Speaker 1: the field when it happened. But it's not about them. Fine, fine,
Speaker 1: fair enough. If it makes you feel any better. Josh
Speaker 1: Jacobs scored three touchdowns against my team.
Speaker 3: All right, you feel better?
Speaker 2: Yeah? No there?
Speaker 1: Uh Jordan Addisna chatches about sixty two in a touchdown
Speaker 1: that was thirty point two points. Tray McBride twelve for one,
Speaker 1: thirty three, twenty five point three, right there. Will Lutz
Speaker 1: made five field goals and a pair of extra points,
Speaker 1: good for twenty one.
Speaker 3: And the Cowboys defense.
Speaker 1: I think we had this going the other we were
Speaker 1: all like, hey, start the Commanders defense against the Cowboys.
Speaker 1: Apparently gonna start the Cowboys defense against the Commanders. Four sacks,
Speaker 1: three takeaways, and a couple of touchdowns out was good
Speaker 1: for twenty two.
Speaker 3: So those were some.
Speaker 1: Of the overall fantasy heros for the week. Here's a
Speaker 1: little bit of a look at the weather closer to you.
Speaker 1: Who was your own personal fantasy hero this week? Lakwan
Speaker 1: Jamier Gibbs. Man, he's just simply electric.
Speaker 2: Man. I'm so happy that I was able to take
Speaker 2: the chance on him in the summer, getting him in
Speaker 2: the back in that first round, because he's honestly just
Speaker 2: been electric all season long. He's really taken the mantle
Speaker 2: as that RB one back there, having more snaps than
Speaker 2: David Montgomery. But man, only three games this season, he
Speaker 2: has had less than fifteen fantasy points, double digits every
Speaker 2: single week, and it's like Jamiir Gibbs is probably one
Speaker 2: of the safest, if not best, you know, summer picks
Speaker 2: in the first round out of those running backs. When
Speaker 2: we look at the top ten running backs currently right now,
Speaker 2: not many of them were drafted in the first round.
Speaker 2: I think it was only Breesse Hall so Jamiir gibbs
Speaker 2: Man going into next year, I don't see how his
Speaker 2: stock doesn't just move all way up into the top
Speaker 2: five picks of fantasy because he's just simply just been
Speaker 2: more electric than most of the running backs that we've
Speaker 2: taken early in those first rounds.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's wild both he and David Montgomery have
Speaker 1: paid off on their ADP. I mean I was drafting Montgomerys,
Speaker 1: I'm like, ah, he's gonna be cheaper and give you
Speaker 1: similar production. But also Gibbs in the first round turns
Speaker 1: out to be the correct answer as well, both of
Speaker 1: them right now sitting in the top twelve. So thank
Speaker 1: you for that, Ben Jonson, we are grateful. And look,
Speaker 1: this only makes sense, Florida. You have been the biggest
Speaker 1: Jade and Daniels stand on this show, and so it
Speaker 1: was nice to see him come back to life again
Speaker 1: this week.
Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly that.
Speaker 4: And on the line's running backs, if anyone next summer
Speaker 4: says like they're gonna eat off of each other's plate,
Speaker 4: like let's just disregard.
Speaker 1: Them or whatever they're gonna say, it's a really big
Speaker 1: plate and there's a lot of food there for them.
Speaker 4: We're gonna hear it, Someone's gonna say it, but yeah,
Speaker 4: Jayden Daniels was electric yesterday. Two hundred and seventy five
Speaker 4: passing yards, two touchdowns, and what I love is he
Speaker 4: was running more. And that was the hope coming into
Speaker 4: this game. Not only was the matchup favorable for him
Speaker 4: to run against the Cowboys, but the hope was that
Speaker 4: with the mini by, maybe the rib injury was behind him.
Speaker 4: And watching this game very closely, it seems like the
Speaker 4: rib injury is behind him. And I know they'll be
Speaker 4: like Adam rank Is gonna go on Fantasy Live or
Speaker 4: something and be like it was another late game touchdown
Speaker 4: that shouldn't have counted. He was already at over twenty
Speaker 4: fantasy points before that Terry McLaurin touchdown, which I admit
Speaker 4: probably shouldn't have been a touchdown. But yeah, I went
Speaker 4: off Fantasy Live last week and said he's gonna give
Speaker 4: you his best fantasy game in two months. Not only
Speaker 4: did he do that, he gave you his best fantasy
Speaker 4: game of this season so far. So there's a nice
Speaker 4: reminder that like Jaden Daniels is still awesome, he is
Speaker 4: still a really good fantasy option.
Speaker 2: And if you have him, you could continue starting him
Speaker 2: moving forward.
Speaker 1: By the way, on that Terry McLaurin touchdown, he was
Speaker 1: lined up on the right side. I'm not saying, but
Speaker 1: I'm just saying. I'm just saying, that's all come on.
Speaker 1: My fantasy hero this week, it is Bucky Irving because
Speaker 1: it looks likely take over in that backfield in Tampa
Speaker 1: might be fully complete. And I say that sort with
Speaker 1: the caveat that. Yeah, Rashad White's still going to get
Speaker 1: his the Bucks. With four rushing touchdowns against the Giants,
Speaker 1: Irving had one, Rashad White had one, Baker Mayfield had one,
Speaker 1: Sean Tucker came out of no where it had one.
Speaker 3: By the way, shout out.
Speaker 1: To Baker for blocking down field on this big play
Speaker 1: by Bucky Irving right there. But look, twelve carries for
Speaker 1: eighty seven yards. He had another six catches in the
Speaker 1: ball game for sixty four yards. He does look like
Speaker 1: the running back of record there in Tampa Bay. And yeah,
Speaker 1: the Bucks are still going to get Rashad White involved.
Speaker 3: But it is clear that.
Speaker 1: Irving has been the better of the two running backs
Speaker 1: all season long, and I think that means he's going
Speaker 1: to continue to get more opportunities there. The schedule down
Speaker 1: this stretch, there are some really nice games. I mean,
Speaker 1: they got the Panthers neck next week, They've got the
Speaker 1: Raiders in a couple of weeks.
Speaker 2: They have the Cowboys in week.
Speaker 1: Sixteen, and then championship weeks another matchup with the Carolina Panthers.
Speaker 1: So irving, if you got him, you should be able
Speaker 1: to hopefully ride him into the playoffs. And maybe I
Speaker 1: won't necessarily, you know, put the league winner stamp on him,
Speaker 1: but he's a guy who could be very productive for you.
Speaker 1: We're doing it, all right, Fine, there it is league
Speaker 1: winner stamps.
Speaker 3: We're doing it.
Speaker 2: Your pressure sucks anyway, what if he is a league winner?
Speaker 2: We can clip this and be like this was before Thanksgiving.
Speaker 2: That's true, exactly, that is true.
Speaker 3: That is true.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: So I guess it's a way to win potentially for me,
Speaker 1: and if it doesn't work out, and be like I
Speaker 1: was peer pressured into it by these two guys. They
Speaker 1: made me do it. There it is. Let's take a
Speaker 1: look at this week's waiver wire options. Florio, who should
Speaker 1: we be looking at heading into week thirteen.
Speaker 4: Yeah, starting with a couple of quarterbacks, there's Russell will
Speaker 4: there there is Caleb Russell gets a great matchup against
Speaker 4: the Bengals next week. Caleb has played a lot better
Speaker 4: since they moved on from the OC. Will Levis don't
Speaker 4: look now. He is putting up numbers since he's returned.
Speaker 4: And I still think Drake May brings upside against the Colts.
Speaker 4: Jalen Warren has had more and more volume as of
Speaker 4: late and gets a good matchup Amir Abdula just because
Speaker 4: right now he is the loan healthy back there. Jeremy McNichols,
Speaker 4: because Austin Eckler is in concussion protocol and Brian Robinson
Speaker 4: also was banged up yesterday. Sean Tucker, Trey Benson, Roshawn Johnson.
Speaker 4: Just backup running backs who are getting goal one work
Speaker 4: or some more carries right now for their teams, and
Speaker 4: then some pass catchers. Please add Jerry Judy already I
Speaker 4: want to stop telling you to add him. He has
Speaker 4: been awesome. Devon Bailey, We're gonna talk more about him.
Speaker 4: Noah Brown had ten targets yesterday. Damario Douglass continues to
Speaker 4: provide a really safe floor. Nick Westbrook aakini. You guys
Speaker 4: have talked him up a lot continues to produce. David
Speaker 4: Moore also ten targets yesterday, and then a couple of
Speaker 4: tight ends. Zach Ertz and I'm not sold on Noah
Speaker 4: Gray yet, but when you have four touchdowns in two games,
Speaker 4: I feel like you need to be included in the
Speaker 4: waiver wire article.
Speaker 1: I mean, he's obviously the tight end one in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine what other tight ends in Kansas City
Speaker 1: they would want to throw the football to when you.
Speaker 3: Have a guy like Noah Gray right there. I mean
Speaker 3: it's just that simple.
Speaker 1: Lakwan, you have been on the Devon Valley train for
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks now, so shout out to you
Speaker 1: for being ahead of the curve.
Speaker 3: He really is a guy that is starting to get
Speaker 3: a lot more attention.
Speaker 1: I mean, Corland Sutton's been great, but Von Valley is
Speaker 1: looking sort of like the number two option in that
Speaker 1: passing game.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean, look, since the beginning of the season,
Speaker 2: I kind of looked at his profile and him and
Speaker 2: Josh Reynolds are kind of like the big target guys.
Speaker 2: This dude six ' five, so he's these huge catch
Speaker 2: raisers and bo Nicks has taken advantage of that. Man,
Speaker 2: and look in the games that he played at least
Speaker 2: fifty percent or more of the of the snaps, he's
Speaker 2: put up double digit fantasy points. So obviously he's becoming
Speaker 2: a guy filling in that role with Josh Reynolds on
Speaker 2: IR and bo Nix is hitting him downfield as well,
Speaker 2: So he has the big playability where the yards per
Speaker 2: reception are going to be high, get his yards after
Speaker 2: the catch, where it's going to be in chunks where
Speaker 2: he might be able to get his fantasy points. So
Speaker 2: I'm looking more towards the back end of this season
Speaker 2: where we're getting into the fantasy playoffs, where he could
Speaker 2: be a valuable flex option if bow Knicks is going
Speaker 2: to continue on being productive in this Broncos offense.
Speaker 1: I mean, bo Knicks has been great, and that's another
Speaker 1: team with a pretty good schedule down the stretch. I mean,
Speaker 1: they've got the Browns, the Colts in week fifteen, the
Speaker 1: Chargers not maybe a great matchup in Week sixteen, but
Speaker 1: a championship week. They are on the road at Cincinnati
Speaker 1: against a kind of shaky Bengals defense. So some good
Speaker 1: matchups the rest of the way for bow Knicks and
Speaker 1: the rest of that Broncos offense right there.
Speaker 3: So we are not done.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have some of our biggest takeaways coming up
Speaker 1: from Week twelve, plus John new Smith updates. Stick around
Speaker 1: for that more on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Bight
Speaker 1: here on NFL Fantasy Football Show. To them to our
Speaker 1: Week twelve takeaways, I sort of switched things up. There's
Speaker 1: a method to the madness. You will understand in just
Speaker 1: a little bit. So some of the big things that
Speaker 1: week took away from what we have seen so far
Speaker 1: this week, I understand he's still one more game to
Speaker 1: be played between the Ravens and the Chargers over at
Speaker 1: SO five Stadium. But out of what we have seen
Speaker 1: to this point, Florida, what have you learned?
Speaker 4: Like right now, if you would depress like right square
Speaker 4: X left R one R two left right, like Saquon
Speaker 4: Barkley would appear in your fantasy lineup because he Every
Speaker 4: year we get enamored with league winners, but there's always
Speaker 4: like one or two cheat code style players where it
Speaker 4: looks like if you don't have them, good luck. Saquon
Speaker 4: Barkley is this year's cheat code player, like last year
Speaker 4: with CMC. Right now thirty two fantasy points in three
Speaker 4: of his last four games, twenty six or more in
Speaker 4: three of his last five. Yesterday against Lakwan's Rams, I'm sorry,
Speaker 4: he scored the most fantasy moments any running back has
Speaker 4: scored in a game this season. And now look at
Speaker 4: who he gets the rest of the way. He gets
Speaker 4: the Ravens, which on paper look like a tough matchup
Speaker 4: against the run, but they struggle mightily against pass catching backs.
Speaker 4: The Panthers are the best matchup a running back at half.
Speaker 4: Steelers are middle of the pack, but they allow a lot.
Speaker 2: Of rushing touchdowns.
Speaker 4: The Commanders have a lot of the most rushing yards
Speaker 4: and most explosive run, most explosive runs. Good luck against
Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley and then the Cowboys who held him in
Speaker 4: check a bit the first time they played. But Saquon
Speaker 4: should be able to run all over them in championship week. Like, yeah,
Speaker 4: if you run up against Saquon Barkley in the fantasy playoffs.
Speaker 2: Good luck, because you're going to need a massive week
Speaker 2: to top that.
Speaker 3: Fantasy manager, So, I mean.
Speaker 1: We talk about guys putting up video game numbers, which
Speaker 1: is kind of what Saquan is doing right now to
Speaker 1: the point that I don't know if you guys saw
Speaker 1: they put the backwards hurdle in Madden, you can do
Speaker 1: it now in the game. Apparently, I don't know what
Speaker 1: combination of buttons you have to press. We're gonna feel
Speaker 1: like you just take your hand, just mash it down
Speaker 1: on the controller and then somehow it does it or whatever.
Speaker 3: But you can actually do the backwards hurt.
Speaker 4: If I ever successfully do it to someone, I'm never
Speaker 4: gonna shut up about it.
Speaker 1: If I had it done on me and Madden, I'm
Speaker 1: unplugging the game like I'm just turning it off like
Speaker 1: it just.
Speaker 2: But what if someone did it to you in real life?
Speaker 1: Then I retire. I just you know, I pull Avonte
Speaker 1: Davis and I just retire.
Speaker 2: Like right there, like that's it. I just hang it
Speaker 2: up and I'm gonna go, like I think that's more
Speaker 2: Antonio Brown style.
Speaker 3: Just off like I'm.
Speaker 1: Just just way to the crowd on your way to
Speaker 1: the locker room, and then just get in the car
Speaker 1: and drive out.
Speaker 3: Of the Stadium'm like that's it.
Speaker 2: That's it.
Speaker 1: I'm done. I'm absolutely done. The thing I learned this
Speaker 1: week last week, I came on. I think it's only
Speaker 1: Tuesday edition of this show, and I said, for guys
Speaker 1: to drop. I put Jaylen Wattle's name in there because
Speaker 1: he was at best the fourth option in what has
Speaker 1: been a mediocre passing game. He wasn't performing much of
Speaker 1: anything this year. Then on Sunday, Jalen Wattle went out
Speaker 1: and had himself an app salute day.
Speaker 2: I mean it was scenes for Jalen Wattle.
Speaker 1: Nine catches or nine targets, eight catches, one hundred and
Speaker 1: forty four yards and a target. I mean it was
Speaker 1: people were saying the Jalen Wattle Legacy game for the
Speaker 1: Miami Dolphins.
Speaker 2: I'm not buying it yet. This feels like a one
Speaker 2: off so far.
Speaker 1: To this point, as far as I'm concerned, he still
Speaker 1: kind of is the number four target in what is
Speaker 1: generally a mediocre passing game. We're still believing that Tyreek
Speaker 1: Hill is going to have a big blow up somewhere.
Speaker 1: Devon a Chan is getting eight ton of targets from
Speaker 1: to a tongue of Iloa. And then there's John new Smith,
Speaker 1: who's still a big part of the passing game right now.
Speaker 3: Throw in the fact that.
Speaker 1: It's not the best schedule down the way right they've
Speaker 1: got the Packers. Next week, they've got the Jets, They've
Speaker 1: got the Texans, they have the forty nine Ers. We'll
Speaker 1: see what shape the forty nine ers defense is in
Speaker 1: by the time they meet in week sixteen. They finish
Speaker 1: on the road at Cleveland, where it is bound to
Speaker 1: be cold, possibly snowing, which is never a good thing
Speaker 1: for to a.
Speaker 2: Tongue of iloa.
Speaker 1: I just I think this was the Jalen Waddle game,
Speaker 1: and maybe it came because me and other folks out
Speaker 1: there were saying it was time to part ways with him.
Speaker 3: I don't see this happening again.
Speaker 1: So if you stayed the course, you're stuck with him,
Speaker 1: and you started him and you got this game, good
Speaker 1: on you. I just I'm not buying that it happens Jet.
Speaker 1: If it happens again, I am willing to sit here
Speaker 1: and tell you I was wrong and change my tune
Speaker 1: and change my attitude this. This doesn't feel like a
Speaker 1: thing that is sustainable. So now that we've gotten that
Speaker 1: out of the way, lakwan, what have you learned?
Speaker 2: Guys? Are we really gonna make me dye my hair blonde?
Speaker 2: Because Jonathan Smith is on a tear right now. Of
Speaker 2: being a top five tight end, like guys like, please
Speaker 2: don't make me do this, Like can can we like
Speaker 2: send a text out, like can we find some type
Speaker 2: of way to get to John in town? Like just
Speaker 2: just chill out, man, because in August I basically said,
Speaker 2: you know, he finishes the top five tight end, I'll
Speaker 2: dye my hair blonde. So can we like structure these
Speaker 2: rules and implication of me actually having to do this.
Speaker 3: I mean, lakwan, we didn't do this to you.
Speaker 1: You did this to you, And no point with me
Speaker 1: and Marcus, like if he's top five, you should die
Speaker 1: your hair blonde.
Speaker 2: It was self inflicting. But back to back games of
Speaker 2: twenty plus fantasy points, like who saw this coming other
Speaker 2: than me? Apparently, like you know.
Speaker 4: You should wear the blonde with pride and be like
Speaker 4: that's how good of a fantasy analyst I am that
Speaker 4: I saw what no one else saw.
Speaker 1: Coming in In the last two games combined, he has
Speaker 1: one hundred and eighty eight receiving yards and three total touchdowns.
Speaker 2: Never done in his career.
Speaker 1: What is it combined? Fifty one point eight fantasy points?
Speaker 1: I mean when the week began, he was the tight end.
Speaker 1: We have a John new Smith update. Can we can
Speaker 1: we put that up there right now? The John new
Speaker 1: Smith update that we have. He twenty three point seven
Speaker 1: Fantasy points right now.
Speaker 3: He is the tight end.
Speaker 1: Five on the season, a grand total of one hundred
Speaker 1: and twenty five point four points. He is less than
Speaker 1: ten points behind Travis Kelcey for the number four spot.
Speaker 3: Look, I mean Kate Odden is not far away.
Speaker 1: So really right now, Lakwan, you have to be a
Speaker 1: big jatee Otten fan if you want your hair to stay.
Speaker 1: It's natural, God given color. That's what you just You
Speaker 1: just need Kate Odden to step up. I'm ball out
Speaker 1: for the next few weeks. Although you know Mike Evans
Speaker 1: is back, so who knows.
Speaker 2: Please because the fact that he actually hasn't had.
Speaker 4: I think we need to try to get John Hu
Speaker 4: to come on so he has the incentive to know
Speaker 4: to go out and put up numbers to try to
Speaker 4: get your hair blonde.
Speaker 1: He can he can see the face of the man
Speaker 1: and he is tormenting right now and understand that. You know, Hey,
Speaker 1: let's let's humanize this whole story. Let's have John Hu
Speaker 1: and LaQuan sort of you know, come to an agreement.
Speaker 1: Here or something that beat that would be amazing. Let's
Speaker 1: get the booking team on. You see see if we
Speaker 1: can make that happen.
Speaker 2: Ridiculous. I come on, like, Johnny, just chill out, man,
Speaker 2: this next game. Tick it off the Dolphins. Dolphins.
Speaker 4: It went from having two stud Wade receivers to those
Speaker 4: two fighting for who's going to be second in targets
Speaker 4: behind John new Smith.
Speaker 2: Like it. It is amazing how this has worked out.
Speaker 3: I mean it escalated quickly too, Like.

Speaker 1: two games, and now he is in the top five.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to look at this the last two over
Speaker 1: the last two weeks, the only tight end and I
Speaker 1: used tight end advisedly that has scored more Fantasy points
