WEBVTT - Week 12 Recap + Will Jonnu Smith Finish as a Top 5 TE? 0:00:00.440 --> 0:00:13.120 Wow, Wow, everybody, It's Monday, November twenty fifth, twenty twenty four. 0:00:13.280 --> 0:00:15.720 Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. We've got our 0:00:15.720 --> 0:00:17.960 Thanksgiving me and you all worked out. It's being your man, 0:00:18.000 --> 0:00:21.280 NAMG Marcus Grant, joined by Michael F. Florio and Lakwan Jones. 0:00:21.680 --> 0:00:23.760 I'm making assumptions on behalf of you, guys. I assume 0:00:23.800 --> 0:00:26.160 you have your Thanksgiving menus all worked out, correct. 0:00:26.800 --> 0:00:28.960 Eh, I mean shopping on Saturday for it. 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:30.160 There you go. 0:00:30.600 --> 0:00:32.680 I got the turkey. I guess I didn't get the 0:00:32.720 --> 0:00:35.440 macaroon and cheese because I've been getting attacked all week 0:00:35.600 --> 0:00:38.240 in the comments. So it's like we are not doing 0:00:38.280 --> 0:00:42.800 turkey in my house. Oh yeah, he's not even a 0:00:42.840 --> 0:00:46.200 turkey guy. Turkey's overrated. That is my Thanksgiving take. 0:00:46.880 --> 0:00:50.520 I mean, look, turkey is fine, but yeah, like getting 0:00:50.560 --> 0:00:52.159 a whole turkey and cooking it, it's just it's a 0:00:52.200 --> 0:00:54.040 lot more work than you want to do it, like otherwise, 0:00:54.080 --> 0:00:55.360 just like slice Deli turkey. 0:00:55.440 --> 0:00:57.400 That's that's not kind of the extent of my my 0:00:57.440 --> 0:00:58.040 turkey eating. 0:00:58.280 --> 0:01:01.320 Mike doesn't like turkey from what I'm told, you don't 0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:06.800 like it. I like turkey. I it's like bottom barrel meat. 0:01:06.840 --> 0:01:07.920 Though I would say. 0:01:07.720 --> 0:01:09.760 Like we're going ham instead and doing like a bake 0:01:09.880 --> 0:01:12.880 zd because those are two both infinitely better foods than 0:01:12.920 --> 0:01:13.960 a whole turkey. 0:01:14.640 --> 0:01:15.640 Uh, that's fair. 0:01:15.959 --> 0:01:19.600 Bad Takes Food Rankings. Can we get that? Like, come on, 0:01:20.560 --> 0:01:21.800 that's that's that's kind of up there. 0:01:21.800 --> 0:01:24.360 We want to put together a food rankings, a Bad 0:01:24.400 --> 0:01:27.400 Food Takes ranking at some point in the off season. 0:01:28.200 --> 0:01:32.160 I think people would defend mac and cheese over turkey 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:33.240 any day of the week. 0:01:33.680 --> 0:01:34.560 That's probably true. 0:01:34.920 --> 0:01:37.240 There's nothing wrong with mac and cheese. I just think 0:01:37.280 --> 0:01:39.760 it's overrated. For Thanksgiving, you can eat it. 0:01:40.120 --> 0:01:42.840 Had no idea, I honestly, I'm sorry that I have 0:01:42.920 --> 0:01:44.720 opened this can of worms. I didn't know we were 0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:47.240 going to get into this. I will say a turkey leg, thoff. 0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:48.560 You don't want to cook a whole turkey, just buy 0:01:48.560 --> 0:01:50.200 a turkey leg and that's gonna be good enough for 0:01:50.240 --> 0:01:53.120 a couple of people. Anyway, we got a lot to 0:01:53.120 --> 0:01:55.559 get into today. We got the biggest takeaways from week twelve. 0:01:55.600 --> 0:01:58.880 We'll have the waiver wire as well. And uh laqwan, 0:01:58.960 --> 0:02:00.880 that is a nice head of black hair you have. 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:02.920 Would be a shame if something happened to it. We'll 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:04.400 get to that a little later on in the show 0:02:04.480 --> 0:02:11.160 as well. What let's start with some fantasy headlines and 0:02:11.200 --> 0:02:13.400 that not a ton of headlines. You have some kind 0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:16.520 of smaller injuries that will be monitoring as the week 0:02:16.560 --> 0:02:19.399 goes along, But one of the bigger ones, Gardner Minshew, 0:02:19.960 --> 0:02:21.600 is now out for the rest of the year. He 0:02:21.680 --> 0:02:24.840 suffered a broken collar bone in the Raiders loss to 0:02:24.880 --> 0:02:29.440 the Denver Broncos on Sunday. It looks like aight and 0:02:29.480 --> 0:02:33.840 O'Connell possibly could be back yesterday. It was Desmond Ridder 0:02:33.840 --> 0:02:36.360 that took over the rest of the way for the Raiders. So, 0:02:36.480 --> 0:02:38.720 I mean, Florio, I mean, we've all been in on 0:02:38.800 --> 0:02:41.240 brock Bauers. He's been fantastic. I know you have been 0:02:41.280 --> 0:02:44.880 a big Jacobi Meyers proponent over the last couple of weeks. 0:02:45.480 --> 0:02:48.800 If it's AOC, if it's des been riddered, how are 0:02:48.840 --> 0:02:51.600 we feeling about the primary pass catchers in Vegas? 0:02:52.960 --> 0:02:55.800 When you anytime, especially this late in the season, you 0:02:55.880 --> 0:02:59.679 have a change at play caller, it's never ideal because we, 0:03:00.080 --> 0:03:02.240 like you said, we knew brock Bowers and Jacoby Myers 0:03:02.280 --> 0:03:06.040 were going to get volume with Gardner Minshew. But it's 0:03:06.080 --> 0:03:09.200 also not like whichever way they go, AOC or Desmond 0:03:09.240 --> 0:03:12.280 Ridder is a huge quarterback downgrade considering who their starting 0:03:12.360 --> 0:03:15.800 quarterback was and considering the fact that before AOC got hurt, 0:03:16.000 --> 0:03:19.000 they had already made the move to him away from 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:22.000 Gardner Minshew. So I think brock Bauers is very much 0:03:22.040 --> 0:03:24.440 so still in play because of the tight end position 0:03:24.520 --> 0:03:27.880 and how much upside he brings. This week, no team's 0:03:27.880 --> 0:03:29.560 on buy. If you want to play it safe and 0:03:29.560 --> 0:03:32.560 get away from Jacoby Myers, I think you can. But 0:03:33.040 --> 0:03:35.360 I'm really not all that worried about him. I still 0:03:35.400 --> 0:03:37.240 think he is going to get a ton of volume, 0:03:37.520 --> 0:03:39.640 still going to prop him up. He gets a lot 0:03:39.640 --> 0:03:42.680 of shorter targets too, So I think those guys could 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:45.880 still elevate Jacoby Myers to what he's been outside of 0:03:45.920 --> 0:03:48.600 those two though. I don't really want to do the Raiders, 0:03:48.680 --> 0:03:51.160 especially this week against the Chiefs. 0:03:51.480 --> 0:03:52.680 So yeah, on. 0:03:52.600 --> 0:03:54.360 Black Friday, I know you're gonna be watching that game, 0:03:54.360 --> 0:03:55.880 but I don't want to start a whole bunch of them. 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:58.560 It is kind of a shorter week. They play on 0:03:58.600 --> 0:04:01.880 Friday against Kansas City. We'll get into that game later 0:04:01.920 --> 0:04:05.160 on in the week on this show. But for now, 0:04:05.680 --> 0:04:08.600 a quarterback change is a foot in Las Vegas. 0:04:08.880 --> 0:04:11.000 The stash is done for the year. We will see. 0:04:11.200 --> 0:04:13.120 Let just say, I guess is he just the stash 0:04:13.160 --> 0:04:16.479 because Aidan O'Connell also has kind of a weird looks 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.160 like it's been drawn in with a pencil kind of 0:04:18.240 --> 0:04:18.960 mustache too. 0:04:20.000 --> 0:04:25.120 Definitely different vibes, but similar outcome. It's like a nineteen 0:04:25.160 --> 0:04:27.839 twenty style mustache. Yeah, it is. 0:04:27.880 --> 0:04:29.760 It's very much like you know, I mean, he's like, 0:04:29.839 --> 0:04:31.840 I'm at a quarterback. There's team here, sure Like that's 0:04:31.960 --> 0:04:34.039 kind of the mustache that he has. 0:04:34.600 --> 0:04:36.440 For aid and O'Connell. 0:04:36.960 --> 0:04:39.080 We'll see whether it's or Desmond Ritter, who I don't 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.120 think has a mustache at all. So he needs to 0:04:41.120 --> 0:04:43.200 get with the times there to be the quarterback in 0:04:43.279 --> 0:04:45.960 Las Vegas. Yeah, all right, let's take a look at 0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.839 some of the week's top scorers. Still one game left 0:04:48.839 --> 0:04:51.640 to be played on Monday night. It is the Horror Bowl, 0:04:52.000 --> 0:04:53.799 I guess, as they're calling it at so FI Stadium. 0:04:53.800 --> 0:04:55.640 But then in the meantime, Jayden Daniels with a nice 0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:58.440 bounced back game. I got you over thirty points, two 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:01.559 hundred and seventy five pass yards of passing touchdowns, also 0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:05.000 seventy four rushing yards and a score on the ground. 0:05:05.440 --> 0:05:09.200 Saquon Barkley just went ham two hundred and fifty five 0:05:09.279 --> 0:05:11.640 rushing yards, a pair of touchdowns, four catches for forty 0:05:11.640 --> 0:05:16.480 seven yards, forty six point two points. Funny side note today, 0:05:16.480 --> 0:05:19.640 Saquon Barkley yesterday had more yards all by himself than 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:21.080 the entire Giants offense. 0:05:21.480 --> 0:05:23.720 Uh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. 0:05:23.880 --> 0:05:26.719 Then Hey, look, I'm not poking for the Rams. 0:05:26.880 --> 0:05:28.679 I'm poking five. It was a giant. 0:05:28.720 --> 0:05:31.359 It's not about yours team, like they were standing on 0:05:31.360 --> 0:05:35.000 the field when it happened. But it's not about them. Fine, fine, 0:05:35.279 --> 0:05:37.920 fair enough. If it makes you feel any better. Josh 0:05:38.000 --> 0:05:40.279 Jacobs scored three touchdowns against my team. 0:05:40.320 --> 0:05:41.240 All right, you feel better? 0:05:41.640 --> 0:05:43.000 Yeah? No there? 0:05:43.440 --> 0:05:46.440 Uh Jordan Addisna chatches about sixty two in a touchdown 0:05:46.520 --> 0:05:49.200 that was thirty point two points. Tray McBride twelve for one, 0:05:49.360 --> 0:05:53.039 thirty three, twenty five point three, right there. Will Lutz 0:05:53.160 --> 0:05:55.719 made five field goals and a pair of extra points, 0:05:55.720 --> 0:05:56.520 good for twenty one. 0:05:56.440 --> 0:05:57.600 And the Cowboys defense. 0:05:58.560 --> 0:06:00.400 I think we had this going the other we were 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:03.120 all like, hey, start the Commanders defense against the Cowboys. 0:06:03.160 --> 0:06:06.279 Apparently gonna start the Cowboys defense against the Commanders. Four sacks, 0:06:06.279 --> 0:06:08.360 three takeaways, and a couple of touchdowns out was good 0:06:08.560 --> 0:06:09.560 for twenty two. 0:06:09.800 --> 0:06:10.600 So those were some. 0:06:10.560 --> 0:06:14.800 Of the overall fantasy heros for the week. Here's a 0:06:14.800 --> 0:06:17.240 little bit of a look at the weather closer to you. 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:19.800 Who was your own personal fantasy hero this week? Lakwan 0:06:20.960 --> 0:06:23.160 Jamier Gibbs. Man, he's just simply electric. 0:06:23.240 --> 0:06:25.240 Man. I'm so happy that I was able to take 0:06:25.279 --> 0:06:27.359 the chance on him in the summer, getting him in 0:06:27.360 --> 0:06:29.440 the back in that first round, because he's honestly just 0:06:29.520 --> 0:06:32.359 been electric all season long. He's really taken the mantle 0:06:32.400 --> 0:06:35.240 as that RB one back there, having more snaps than 0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:38.640 David Montgomery. But man, only three games this season, he 0:06:38.720 --> 0:06:41.720 has had less than fifteen fantasy points, double digits every 0:06:41.760 --> 0:06:44.560 single week, and it's like Jamiir Gibbs is probably one 0:06:44.600 --> 0:06:47.159 of the safest, if not best, you know, summer picks 0:06:47.160 --> 0:06:49.040 in the first round out of those running backs. When 0:06:49.040 --> 0:06:51.320 we look at the top ten running backs currently right now, 0:06:52.080 --> 0:06:53.960 not many of them were drafted in the first round. 0:06:53.960 --> 0:06:56.440 I think it was only Breesse Hall so Jamiir gibbs 0:06:56.440 --> 0:06:58.359 Man going into next year, I don't see how his 0:06:58.480 --> 0:07:01.080 stock doesn't just move all way up into the top 0:07:01.120 --> 0:07:04.080 five picks of fantasy because he's just simply just been 0:07:04.160 --> 0:07:06.520 more electric than most of the running backs that we've 0:07:06.560 --> 0:07:08.200 taken early in those first rounds. 0:07:08.520 --> 0:07:11.000 I mean, it's wild both he and David Montgomery have 0:07:11.080 --> 0:07:14.560 paid off on their ADP. I mean I was drafting Montgomerys, 0:07:14.600 --> 0:07:16.040 I'm like, ah, he's gonna be cheaper and give you 0:07:16.040 --> 0:07:19.160 similar production. But also Gibbs in the first round turns 0:07:19.200 --> 0:07:21.760 out to be the correct answer as well, both of 0:07:21.800 --> 0:07:23.640 them right now sitting in the top twelve. So thank 0:07:23.680 --> 0:07:27.400 you for that, Ben Jonson, we are grateful. And look, 0:07:27.440 --> 0:07:30.000 this only makes sense, Florida. You have been the biggest 0:07:30.320 --> 0:07:33.240 Jade and Daniels stand on this show, and so it 0:07:33.280 --> 0:07:35.320 was nice to see him come back to life again 0:07:35.560 --> 0:07:36.000 this week. 0:07:37.320 --> 0:07:38.560 Yeah, exactly that. 0:07:38.680 --> 0:07:40.920 And on the line's running backs, if anyone next summer 0:07:40.960 --> 0:07:42.880 says like they're gonna eat off of each other's plate, 0:07:43.000 --> 0:07:45.480 like let's just disregard. 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:47.600 Them or whatever they're gonna say, it's a really big 0:07:47.680 --> 0:07:50.080 plate and there's a lot of food there for them. 0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:54.520 We're gonna hear it, Someone's gonna say it, but yeah, 0:07:54.640 --> 0:07:58.360 Jayden Daniels was electric yesterday. Two hundred and seventy five 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.360 passing yards, two touchdowns, and what I love is he 0:08:01.480 --> 0:08:04.240 was running more. And that was the hope coming into 0:08:04.280 --> 0:08:07.040 this game. Not only was the matchup favorable for him 0:08:07.040 --> 0:08:09.920 to run against the Cowboys, but the hope was that 0:08:10.000 --> 0:08:12.920 with the mini by, maybe the rib injury was behind him. 0:08:13.200 --> 0:08:16.120 And watching this game very closely, it seems like the 0:08:16.200 --> 0:08:19.240 rib injury is behind him. And I know they'll be 0:08:19.480 --> 0:08:21.680 like Adam rank Is gonna go on Fantasy Live or 0:08:21.680 --> 0:08:24.800 something and be like it was another late game touchdown 0:08:24.840 --> 0:08:27.080 that shouldn't have counted. He was already at over twenty 0:08:27.120 --> 0:08:30.080 fantasy points before that Terry McLaurin touchdown, which I admit 0:08:30.320 --> 0:08:33.839 probably shouldn't have been a touchdown. But yeah, I went 0:08:33.880 --> 0:08:35.840 off Fantasy Live last week and said he's gonna give 0:08:35.840 --> 0:08:38.040 you his best fantasy game in two months. Not only 0:08:38.080 --> 0:08:41.480 did he do that, he gave you his best fantasy 0:08:41.520 --> 0:08:44.800 game of this season so far. So there's a nice 0:08:44.840 --> 0:08:47.199 reminder that like Jaden Daniels is still awesome, he is 0:08:47.240 --> 0:08:48.679 still a really good fantasy option. 0:08:49.000 --> 0:08:51.000 And if you have him, you could continue starting him 0:08:51.000 --> 0:08:51.560 moving forward. 0:08:52.040 --> 0:08:55.000 By the way, on that Terry McLaurin touchdown, he was 0:08:55.080 --> 0:08:58.080 lined up on the right side. I'm not saying, but 0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:02.760 I'm just saying. I'm just saying, that's all come on. 0:09:04.360 --> 0:09:08.240 My fantasy hero this week, it is Bucky Irving because 0:09:09.000 --> 0:09:12.160 it looks likely take over in that backfield in Tampa 0:09:12.280 --> 0:09:15.360 might be fully complete. And I say that sort with 0:09:15.400 --> 0:09:17.439 the caveat that. Yeah, Rashad White's still going to get 0:09:17.480 --> 0:09:20.960 his the Bucks. With four rushing touchdowns against the Giants, 0:09:20.960 --> 0:09:23.720 Irving had one, Rashad White had one, Baker Mayfield had one, 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.760 Sean Tucker came out of no where it had one. 0:09:25.800 --> 0:09:26.920 By the way, shout out. 0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.800 To Baker for blocking down field on this big play 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.800 by Bucky Irving right there. But look, twelve carries for 0:09:33.840 --> 0:09:37.000 eighty seven yards. He had another six catches in the 0:09:37.000 --> 0:09:40.880 ball game for sixty four yards. He does look like 0:09:40.960 --> 0:09:44.280 the running back of record there in Tampa Bay. And yeah, 0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:47.240 the Bucks are still going to get Rashad White involved. 0:09:47.280 --> 0:09:48.240 But it is clear that. 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.959 Irving has been the better of the two running backs 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.120 all season long, and I think that means he's going 0:09:53.160 --> 0:09:56.720 to continue to get more opportunities there. The schedule down 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.000 this stretch, there are some really nice games. I mean, 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.120 they got the Panthers neck next week, They've got the 0:10:01.240 --> 0:10:02.480 Raiders in a couple of weeks. 0:10:02.480 --> 0:10:05.480 They have the Cowboys in week. 0:10:05.400 --> 0:10:08.480 Sixteen, and then championship weeks another matchup with the Carolina Panthers. 0:10:08.520 --> 0:10:11.840 So irving, if you got him, you should be able 0:10:11.840 --> 0:10:14.600 to hopefully ride him into the playoffs. And maybe I 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:17.559 won't necessarily, you know, put the league winner stamp on him, 0:10:17.559 --> 0:10:19.559 but he's a guy who could be very productive for you. 0:10:20.920 --> 0:10:23.480 We're doing it, all right, Fine, there it is league 0:10:23.480 --> 0:10:25.000 winner stamps. 0:10:26.800 --> 0:10:27.520 We're doing it. 0:10:28.240 --> 0:10:33.280 Your pressure sucks anyway, what if he is a league winner? 0:10:33.400 --> 0:10:36.079 We can clip this and be like this was before Thanksgiving. 0:10:36.600 --> 0:10:38.520 That's true, exactly, that is true. 0:10:38.720 --> 0:10:39.319 That is true. 0:10:39.360 --> 0:10:39.800 All right. 0:10:40.040 --> 0:10:41.880 So I guess it's a way to win potentially for me, 0:10:42.000 --> 0:10:43.920 and if it doesn't work out, and be like I 0:10:43.960 --> 0:10:46.320 was peer pressured into it by these two guys. They 0:10:46.360 --> 0:10:49.480 made me do it. There it is. Let's take a 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:53.160 look at this week's waiver wire options. Florio, who should 0:10:53.200 --> 0:10:55.480 we be looking at heading into week thirteen. 0:10:56.240 --> 0:10:59.920 Yeah, starting with a couple of quarterbacks, there's Russell will 0:11:00.440 --> 0:11:03.200 there there is Caleb Russell gets a great matchup against 0:11:03.200 --> 0:11:05.840 the Bengals next week. Caleb has played a lot better 0:11:05.840 --> 0:11:08.600 since they moved on from the OC. Will Levis don't 0:11:08.600 --> 0:11:11.000 look now. He is putting up numbers since he's returned. 0:11:11.000 --> 0:11:13.600 And I still think Drake May brings upside against the Colts. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.160 Jalen Warren has had more and more volume as of 0:11:16.240 --> 0:11:18.800 late and gets a good matchup Amir Abdula just because 0:11:18.840 --> 0:11:22.239 right now he is the loan healthy back there. Jeremy McNichols, 0:11:22.280 --> 0:11:26.080 because Austin Eckler is in concussion protocol and Brian Robinson 0:11:26.080 --> 0:11:30.760 also was banged up yesterday. Sean Tucker, Trey Benson, Roshawn Johnson. 0:11:30.880 --> 0:11:33.000 Just backup running backs who are getting goal one work 0:11:33.240 --> 0:11:35.880 or some more carries right now for their teams, and 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:39.319 then some pass catchers. Please add Jerry Judy already I 0:11:39.400 --> 0:11:41.360 want to stop telling you to add him. He has 0:11:41.400 --> 0:11:44.800 been awesome. Devon Bailey, We're gonna talk more about him. 0:11:44.880 --> 0:11:48.720 Noah Brown had ten targets yesterday. Damario Douglass continues to 0:11:48.760 --> 0:11:52.120 provide a really safe floor. Nick Westbrook aakini. You guys 0:11:52.120 --> 0:11:55.400 have talked him up a lot continues to produce. David 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:58.320 Moore also ten targets yesterday, and then a couple of 0:11:58.360 --> 0:12:01.880 tight ends. Zach Ertz and I'm not sold on Noah 0:12:01.880 --> 0:12:04.160 Gray yet, but when you have four touchdowns in two games, 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.040 I feel like you need to be included in the 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:07.040 waiver wire article. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:10.200 I mean, he's obviously the tight end one in Kansas City. 0:12:10.280 --> 0:12:12.800 I can't imagine what other tight ends in Kansas City 0:12:12.840 --> 0:12:15.000 they would want to throw the football to when you. 0:12:14.960 --> 0:12:16.760 Have a guy like Noah Gray right there. I mean 0:12:16.800 --> 0:12:18.120 it's just that simple. 0:12:19.200 --> 0:12:21.720 Lakwan, you have been on the Devon Valley train for 0:12:21.760 --> 0:12:23.480 a couple of weeks now, so shout out to you 0:12:23.559 --> 0:12:24.559 for being ahead of the curve. 0:12:25.000 --> 0:12:26.680 He really is a guy that is starting to get 0:12:26.720 --> 0:12:27.520 a lot more attention. 0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:30.000 I mean, Corland Sutton's been great, but Von Valley is 0:12:30.040 --> 0:12:31.720 looking sort of like the number two option in that 0:12:31.760 --> 0:12:32.360 passing game. 0:12:33.160 --> 0:12:35.560 Yeah. I mean, look, since the beginning of the season, 0:12:35.600 --> 0:12:37.400 I kind of looked at his profile and him and 0:12:37.480 --> 0:12:39.760 Josh Reynolds are kind of like the big target guys. 0:12:39.800 --> 0:12:42.400 This dude six ' five, so he's these huge catch 0:12:42.480 --> 0:12:45.120 raisers and bo Nicks has taken advantage of that. Man, 0:12:45.160 --> 0:12:47.320 and look in the games that he played at least 0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.280 fifty percent or more of the of the snaps, he's 0:12:50.320 --> 0:12:53.360 put up double digit fantasy points. So obviously he's becoming 0:12:53.400 --> 0:12:55.920 a guy filling in that role with Josh Reynolds on 0:12:55.960 --> 0:12:58.880 IR and bo Nix is hitting him downfield as well, 0:12:58.960 --> 0:13:01.719 So he has the big playability where the yards per 0:13:01.720 --> 0:13:04.880 reception are going to be high, get his yards after 0:13:04.920 --> 0:13:06.840 the catch, where it's going to be in chunks where 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:08.640 he might be able to get his fantasy points. So 0:13:08.720 --> 0:13:10.880 I'm looking more towards the back end of this season 0:13:11.040 --> 0:13:13.040 where we're getting into the fantasy playoffs, where he could 0:13:13.040 --> 0:13:15.400 be a valuable flex option if bow Knicks is going 0:13:15.440 --> 0:13:18.199 to continue on being productive in this Broncos offense. 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:21.120 I mean, bo Knicks has been great, and that's another 0:13:21.200 --> 0:13:24.760 team with a pretty good schedule down the stretch. I mean, 0:13:24.760 --> 0:13:28.880 they've got the Browns, the Colts in week fifteen, the 0:13:29.000 --> 0:13:31.120 Chargers not maybe a great matchup in Week sixteen, but 0:13:31.160 --> 0:13:33.640 a championship week. They are on the road at Cincinnati 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:36.880 against a kind of shaky Bengals defense. So some good 0:13:36.920 --> 0:13:39.200 matchups the rest of the way for bow Knicks and 0:13:39.240 --> 0:13:41.640 the rest of that Broncos offense right there. 0:13:41.720 --> 0:13:43.240 So we are not done. 0:13:43.240 --> 0:13:45.439 We're gonna have some of our biggest takeaways coming up 0:13:45.440 --> 0:13:49.560 from Week twelve, plus John new Smith updates. Stick around 0:13:49.559 --> 0:13:58.199 for that more on the NFL Fantasy Football Show. Bight 0:13:58.240 --> 0:14:01.640 here on NFL Fantasy Football Show. To them to our 0:14:01.640 --> 0:14:04.559 Week twelve takeaways, I sort of switched things up. There's 0:14:04.600 --> 0:14:06.840 a method to the madness. You will understand in just 0:14:06.920 --> 0:14:09.520 a little bit. So some of the big things that 0:14:09.559 --> 0:14:12.079 week took away from what we have seen so far 0:14:12.160 --> 0:14:14.200 this week, I understand he's still one more game to 0:14:14.240 --> 0:14:17.240 be played between the Ravens and the Chargers over at 0:14:17.280 --> 0:14:19.760 SO five Stadium. But out of what we have seen 0:14:19.800 --> 0:14:21.760 to this point, Florida, what have you learned? 0:14:23.280 --> 0:14:25.760 Like right now, if you would depress like right square 0:14:25.960 --> 0:14:28.360 X left R one R two left right, like Saquon 0:14:28.440 --> 0:14:32.120 Barkley would appear in your fantasy lineup because he Every 0:14:32.240 --> 0:14:35.520 year we get enamored with league winners, but there's always 0:14:35.520 --> 0:14:38.160 like one or two cheat code style players where it 0:14:38.200 --> 0:14:40.600 looks like if you don't have them, good luck. Saquon 0:14:40.680 --> 0:14:43.640 Barkley is this year's cheat code player, like last year 0:14:43.680 --> 0:14:47.800 with CMC. Right now thirty two fantasy points in three 0:14:47.800 --> 0:14:50.280 of his last four games, twenty six or more in 0:14:50.360 --> 0:14:54.680 three of his last five. Yesterday against Lakwan's Rams, I'm sorry, 0:14:54.720 --> 0:14:57.640 he scored the most fantasy moments any running back has 0:14:57.640 --> 0:14:59.960 scored in a game this season. And now look at 0:15:00.040 --> 0:15:01.840 who he gets the rest of the way. He gets 0:15:01.880 --> 0:15:04.320 the Ravens, which on paper look like a tough matchup 0:15:04.320 --> 0:15:07.400 against the run, but they struggle mightily against pass catching backs. 0:15:07.560 --> 0:15:09.920 The Panthers are the best matchup a running back at half. 0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:12.600 Steelers are middle of the pack, but they allow a lot. 0:15:12.480 --> 0:15:13.520 Of rushing touchdowns. 0:15:13.680 --> 0:15:15.640 The Commanders have a lot of the most rushing yards 0:15:15.720 --> 0:15:18.840 and most explosive run, most explosive runs. Good luck against 0:15:18.880 --> 0:15:21.560 Saquon Barkley and then the Cowboys who held him in 0:15:21.720 --> 0:15:24.080 check a bit the first time they played. But Saquon 0:15:24.120 --> 0:15:27.400 should be able to run all over them in championship week. Like, yeah, 0:15:27.440 --> 0:15:31.120 if you run up against Saquon Barkley in the fantasy playoffs. 0:15:30.840 --> 0:15:33.200 Good luck, because you're going to need a massive week 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:33.920 to top that. 0:15:33.960 --> 0:15:36.120 Fantasy manager, So, I mean. 0:15:36.040 --> 0:15:38.800 We talk about guys putting up video game numbers, which 0:15:38.840 --> 0:15:40.800 is kind of what Saquan is doing right now to 0:15:40.840 --> 0:15:42.320 the point that I don't know if you guys saw 0:15:42.760 --> 0:15:45.640 they put the backwards hurdle in Madden, you can do 0:15:45.760 --> 0:15:49.080 it now in the game. Apparently, I don't know what 0:15:49.240 --> 0:15:53.080 combination of buttons you have to press. We're gonna feel 0:15:53.080 --> 0:15:54.840 like you just take your hand, just mash it down 0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:57.240 on the controller and then somehow it does it or whatever. 0:15:57.640 --> 0:15:59.960 But you can actually do the backwards hurt. 0:16:00.360 --> 0:16:03.640 If I ever successfully do it to someone, I'm never 0:16:03.680 --> 0:16:04.760 gonna shut up about it. 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.000 If I had it done on me and Madden, I'm 0:16:07.080 --> 0:16:09.160 unplugging the game like I'm just turning it off like 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:09.840 it just. 0:16:10.160 --> 0:16:13.360 But what if someone did it to you in real life? 0:16:13.760 --> 0:16:17.800 Then I retire. I just you know, I pull Avonte 0:16:17.880 --> 0:16:19.680 Davis and I just retire. 0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:20.960 Like right there, like that's it. I just hang it 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:23.280 up and I'm gonna go, like I think that's more 0:16:23.320 --> 0:16:24.480 Antonio Brown style. 0:16:24.640 --> 0:16:25.800 Just off like I'm. 0:16:27.160 --> 0:16:29.160 Just just way to the crowd on your way to 0:16:29.160 --> 0:16:30.560 the locker room, and then just get in the car 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:31.320 and drive out. 0:16:31.160 --> 0:16:32.760 Of the Stadium'm like that's it. 0:16:32.880 --> 0:16:33.200 That's it. 0:16:33.280 --> 0:16:37.520 I'm done. I'm absolutely done. The thing I learned this 0:16:37.600 --> 0:16:40.640 week last week, I came on. I think it's only 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.840 Tuesday edition of this show, and I said, for guys 0:16:43.880 --> 0:16:46.200 to drop. I put Jaylen Wattle's name in there because 0:16:47.040 --> 0:16:50.120 he was at best the fourth option in what has 0:16:50.160 --> 0:16:54.280 been a mediocre passing game. He wasn't performing much of 0:16:54.400 --> 0:16:58.120 anything this year. Then on Sunday, Jalen Wattle went out 0:16:58.160 --> 0:17:00.720 and had himself an app salute day. 0:17:00.800 --> 0:17:03.760 I mean it was scenes for Jalen Wattle. 0:17:04.640 --> 0:17:07.159 Nine catches or nine targets, eight catches, one hundred and 0:17:07.200 --> 0:17:09.199 forty four yards and a target. I mean it was 0:17:09.200 --> 0:17:12.920 people were saying the Jalen Wattle Legacy game for the 0:17:13.000 --> 0:17:13.880 Miami Dolphins. 0:17:14.760 --> 0:17:17.720 I'm not buying it yet. This feels like a one 0:17:17.840 --> 0:17:18.640 off so far. 0:17:19.280 --> 0:17:21.639 To this point, as far as I'm concerned, he still 0:17:21.760 --> 0:17:24.439 kind of is the number four target in what is 0:17:24.560 --> 0:17:28.919 generally a mediocre passing game. We're still believing that Tyreek 0:17:29.000 --> 0:17:31.400 Hill is going to have a big blow up somewhere. 0:17:31.800 --> 0:17:34.439 Devon a Chan is getting eight ton of targets from 0:17:34.480 --> 0:17:37.320 to a tongue of Iloa. And then there's John new Smith, 0:17:37.359 --> 0:17:39.920 who's still a big part of the passing game right now. 0:17:39.960 --> 0:17:40.960 Throw in the fact that. 0:17:41.119 --> 0:17:43.520 It's not the best schedule down the way right they've 0:17:43.520 --> 0:17:45.920 got the Packers. Next week, they've got the Jets, They've 0:17:45.920 --> 0:17:48.320 got the Texans, they have the forty nine Ers. We'll 0:17:48.359 --> 0:17:50.320 see what shape the forty nine ers defense is in 0:17:50.400 --> 0:17:53.359 by the time they meet in week sixteen. They finish 0:17:53.480 --> 0:17:55.639 on the road at Cleveland, where it is bound to 0:17:55.640 --> 0:17:58.120 be cold, possibly snowing, which is never a good thing 0:17:58.160 --> 0:17:58.560 for to a. 0:17:58.560 --> 0:17:59.320
