1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: Wow. Wow, Hey everybody, It's Tuesday, December nineteenth, twenty twenty three.

2
00:00:14,680 --> 00:00:17,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and

3
00:00:17,520 --> 00:00:21,040
Speaker 1: your man, MG Marcus Grant joined by Michael f. Florio. Well,

4
00:00:21,040 --> 00:00:23,599
Speaker 1: you got a fun episode for you today. Matt Ocatta's

5
00:00:23,640 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: gonna stop by with his top waiver wire targets for

6
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,880
Speaker 1: the week. But first we're taking some of your questions

7
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:34,800
Speaker 1: with the fantasy playoffs upon us. Let's get to some

8
00:00:34,840 --> 00:00:37,840
Speaker 1: of your questions that you sent to us at NFL

9
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 1: Fantasy on Twitter. In the first one comes from Sean

10
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:45,520
Speaker 1: who asked, do I start Rock Perty or Lamar Jackson

11
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:48,239
Speaker 1: next week? Two top quarterbacks who are facing each other

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:50,920
Speaker 1: according it's very good defenses. What do you do here?

13
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,600
Speaker 2: That is the final game of the week too, next

14
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:57,560
Speaker 2: week on Christmas Night. Ask me again later in the week,

15
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:01,240
Speaker 2: but as of right now, I'm leaning Lamar. Two tough defenses.

16
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:04,560
Speaker 2: Lamar gives you points with his legs, but can anyone

17
00:01:04,560 --> 00:01:05,960
Speaker 2: slow down that forty nine ers off?

18
00:01:06,480 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: I'll probably go purty. Actually yeah, I think I'm gonna

19
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:11,480
Speaker 1: go purty. He's not gonna run, obviously as much as Lamar,

20
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,960
Speaker 1: but the way he's spreading the ball out. I think, yeah,

21
00:01:15,080 --> 00:01:18,160
Speaker 1: four touchdown passes, so many weapons there. I think top

22
00:01:18,200 --> 00:01:20,080
Speaker 1: to bottom of the Niner offense is more stacked than

23
00:01:20,080 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: the Ravens. So I'm gonna go to rock party there.

24
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:26,479
Speaker 1: Our next one comes from coach Tony who asks justin

25
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:29,600
Speaker 1: fields against the Cardinals or Jordan Love against the Panthers

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: next week.

27
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:32,480
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go with justin fields there. Not only will

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 2: Fields get it done on the ground, He'll also throw

29
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:37,640
Speaker 2: the ball. The Cardinals defense is very, very poorous right now.

30
00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:40,720
Speaker 2: But Jordan Love, I think the Packers could run on

31
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: the Panthers in this one.

32
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: I do think the Packers can run. I actually like

33
00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:46,720
Speaker 1: Aaron Jones a lot for the Packers, which maybe means

34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,120
Speaker 1: not so much Jordan Love. I'm going justin fields all

35
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,360
Speaker 1: the way against Arizona. Next one from SETH wants to

36
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,640
Speaker 1: know Baker, who we just talked about, or Kyler versus

37
00:01:55,720 --> 00:01:57,080
Speaker 1: the Bears this week?

38
00:01:57,280 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: Is it crazy to say Baker because the Bears defense

39
00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 2: deserves credit. They have been playing awesome the last six

40
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 2: seven weeks, and so all of the two Oklahoma quarterbacks here,

41
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:09,920
Speaker 2: I might go with the first one that won the Heisman.

42
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:11,920
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think I'm going Baker Mayfield against the Jaguars.

43
00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: I like him as a sleeper. This week, I was

44
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,720
Speaker 1: worried about Joe Flacco against the Bears. He actually had

45
00:02:16,760 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: three hundred and seventy four yards and a couple of touchdowns,

46
00:02:19,560 --> 00:02:22,360
Speaker 1: but he also threw three picks, So I like Baker Moore.

47
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:26,040
Speaker 1: This one from Jason is Devin Singletary startable now?

48
00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 2: It looks that way. It's been back and forth with

49
00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,400
Speaker 2: this backfield, but he dominated volume yesterday. Damian Pierce is

50
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 2: a waiver wire guy now, Singletary. There's always a little

51
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,920
Speaker 2: volatility because what if the goal on Kerry goes to Pierce.

52
00:02:37,960 --> 00:02:39,079
Speaker 2: But I think you could start him.

53
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:41,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, I guess you could start him in the deeper leagues.

54
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:43,000
Speaker 1: I'm not excited about it because he could very go back,

55
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:45,000
Speaker 1: very well, go back to giving you like forty yards

56
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,880
Speaker 1: next week or something like that. So we'll see, but

57
00:02:47,120 --> 00:02:50,720
Speaker 1: for now, he's startable. Last one from Clark, what should

58
00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:52,520
Speaker 1: I do about Austin Eckler.

59
00:02:52,919 --> 00:02:54,960
Speaker 2: Clark, you might be the last Austin Eckler manager.

60
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: Still sat might be.

61
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,800
Speaker 2: I still think he's start him like Bills, I know,

62
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:03,040
Speaker 2: just shut down the Cowboys and stuff.

63
00:03:03,040 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 1: It'll be a road game.

64
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,239
Speaker 2: They're very banged up on defense and they struggle against

65
00:03:07,280 --> 00:03:09,679
Speaker 2: pass catching backs. I was surprised Tony Pollard wasn't thrown

66
00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:10,520
Speaker 2: two more yesterday.

67
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:13,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think you still roll with him, But I

68
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:16,079
Speaker 1: get it, man, it's bleak, it's scary, and the fact

69
00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:20,360
Speaker 1: that you survived this long pretty impressive with Austin Ecker

70
00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:22,760
Speaker 1: considering how little he gave you, especially how little he

71
00:03:22,840 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: gave you on Thursday night. Let's get some of the

72
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: top waiver wire targets for the week are. Pal Matt

73
00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 1: o'cattas put together his list for Week sixteen, starting at quarterback,

74
00:03:32,919 --> 00:03:36,000
Speaker 1: Jake Browning, who has been red hot, going against the Steelers.

75
00:03:36,000 --> 00:03:38,640
Speaker 1: And you got Joe Flacco, he of the three hundred

76
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:41,080
Speaker 1: and seventy four passing yards this past week, taking on

77
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,160
Speaker 1: the Houston Texans. Baker Mayfield, who we've spoken about a

78
00:03:44,200 --> 00:03:46,520
Speaker 1: lot on this show. Today, he's got the Jaguars, Gardner

79
00:03:46,520 --> 00:03:49,000
Speaker 1: Minshew heading down to Atlanta to take on the Falcons,

80
00:03:49,040 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 1: and Jacoby Brissett. Like's gonna be Sam Howise starting, but

81
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: just in case, Brissette could be a nice pickup going

82
00:03:55,360 --> 00:03:59,480
Speaker 1: against the Jetropolitans. Meanwhile, some running back targets. Ty Chandler,

83
00:03:59,520 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: who looked very good this weekend going against the Lions

84
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: of Mere White, at least as an insurance play if

85
00:04:06,240 --> 00:04:09,280
Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs can come back. They're facing the Chiefs. T J.

86
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:12,400
Speaker 1: Spears going against the bad Seahawks run defense. Rico dowdle

87
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:17,400
Speaker 1: on to Miami is a nice handcuff to Tony Pollard.

88
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,719
Speaker 1: Chase Brown getting a lot more opportunities for the Bengals

89
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: going against the Steelers. Tray Sermon a nice ad, especially

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:25,760
Speaker 1: if Zach Moss can't go this week against the Falcons.

91
00:04:25,839 --> 00:04:29,600
Speaker 1: Rashawn Johnson and what's become a three headed backfield in Chicago.

92
00:04:29,640 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: Then a pair of Commanders with Antonio Gibson and Chris Rodriguez. Finally,

93
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,520
Speaker 1: we got some pass catchers for you. Josh Palmer had

94
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:38,400
Speaker 1: the one big play against the Raiders. That's all it

95
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: took to have a good Fantasy day. He's got the

96
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 1: Bills this week. Noah Brown, who's been playing some good football.

97
00:04:43,480 --> 00:04:47,160
Speaker 1: He's taking on the Cleveland Browns. Curtis Samuel had a

98
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:49,799
Speaker 1: touchdown on Sunday for the Commanders. He's got the Jets

99
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,599
Speaker 1: this week. DeMarcus Robinson has been a touchdown machine lately,

100
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: taking on the Saints as a Thursday night game and

101
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: then a couple of tight ends Hunter Henry against the

102
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:01,919
Speaker 1: Broncos and Isaiah Likely against forty nine ers. So joining

103
00:05:01,960 --> 00:05:04,440
Speaker 1: us now is always about this time, it's Matt Ocatta.

104
00:05:04,520 --> 00:05:07,080
Speaker 1: You can check him out on Twitter at Matt o'catta.

105
00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: You can also check out his Waiver Wire column at

106
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,240
Speaker 1: NFL dot com slash waiver Wire. So here we are.

107
00:05:13,800 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: It is Week two. I woke up this morning, Matt

108
00:05:15,760 --> 00:05:17,960
Speaker 1: thinking to myself, like, I'm old enough to remember when

109
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: this would have been championship week. But we still got

110
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: one more week to go, because Week eighteen is still

111
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: on the horizon. But let's talk some quarterbacks because we

112
00:05:27,920 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: talk about revenge games a lot, and maybe we don't

113
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:34,040
Speaker 1: always use the term correctly, but Jake Brownie against the

114
00:05:34,120 --> 00:05:36,919
Speaker 1: Vikings was legitimately a revenge game. I mean afterwards, he

115
00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:40,400
Speaker 1: was like, you shouldn't have bleeping cut me. Dude's been

116
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,480
Speaker 1: on fire at this point. He seems like a really

117
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,000
Speaker 1: good streaming option for people.

118
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was letting them know after that win. Listen,

119
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:52,120
Speaker 3: we can all pretend that Jake Browning isn't playing better

120
00:05:52,160 --> 00:05:55,839
Speaker 3: football than Joe Burrow was in an injury marred season,

121
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 3: but we'd be pretending because he's playing better football than

122
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,000
Speaker 3: almost everybody in the NFL. As a starter, he is

123
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 3: averaging two hundred and ninety five yards per game, with

124
00:06:04,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 3: a seventy six percent completion rate, nine point one yards

125
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:11,120
Speaker 3: per attempt, and a one h nine passer rating. Those

126
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 3: numbers would rank first, first, second, and second, each of

127
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:19,279
Speaker 3: those behind only brock Perty among all qualified quarterbacks on

128
00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,359
Speaker 3: the season, and even with just twelve fantasy points in

129
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:26,160
Speaker 3: his debut start, Browning has averaged twenty point three per

130
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,839
Speaker 3: game as the starter over this past month. Listen, the

131
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:33,479
Speaker 3: other shoe could eventually drop, but I see no evidence

132
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 3: that it will. He has great pass catchers, he's got

133
00:06:36,160 --> 00:06:38,280
Speaker 3: a great offense, and I think we have to consider

134
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,880
Speaker 3: him a legitimate starter until something changes, which I don't

135
00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:44,480
Speaker 3: necessarily see happening. By the way, the Steelers defense he

136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:47,440
Speaker 3: gets next week. They just allowed twenty point nine fantasy

137
00:06:47,440 --> 00:06:51,680
Speaker 3: points to Bailey Zappi and twenty point six to Gardner Minshew,

138
00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:53,839
Speaker 3: So it feels like Browning is more or less guaranteed

139
00:06:53,839 --> 00:06:54,640
Speaker 3: for a twenty burger.

140
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:59,160
Speaker 2: This Saturday, speaking of twenty burgers on Saturdays, ty Chandler,

141
00:06:59,160 --> 00:07:00,680
Speaker 2: And he's not a vailab in a lot of my

142
00:07:00,760 --> 00:07:03,400
Speaker 2: leagues because he was in my starting lineup last week,

143
00:07:03,440 --> 00:07:06,320
Speaker 2: but Okada, should people be rushing to pick him up?

144
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:08,440
Speaker 2: And do you think he could take the job away

145
00:07:08,440 --> 00:07:09,680
Speaker 2: from Alexander Madison.

146
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:12,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's an interesting one with ty Chandler only Rosston

147
00:07:12,760 --> 00:07:15,400
Speaker 3: in twenty eight percent of NFL dot com leagues, and

148
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,200
Speaker 3: that's because we didn't really know what to expect in

149
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:21,640
Speaker 3: his starting debut with Alexander Madison out after the team

150
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:26,400
Speaker 3: tried their darnedas to avoid that reality all season. I

151
00:07:26,440 --> 00:07:28,760
Speaker 3: have no idea why they did, because he took twenty

152
00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:31,040
Speaker 3: six touches for one hundred and fifty seven yards, a

153
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,120
Speaker 3: goal line touchdown and twenty five fantasy points. He was

154
00:07:34,240 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 3: efficient and explosive, which are two words rarely used of

155
00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:41,680
Speaker 3: Alexander Madison this season, and it was all against what

156
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:45,120
Speaker 3: has been a solid defensive front. Next week they get

157
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:47,520
Speaker 3: the Lions, who are even tougher against running backs, and

158
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,440
Speaker 3: we don't know whether Madison returns. But to your point,

159
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 3: I think Chandler is a must add anyway, and I

160
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 3: think there is a non zero chance that if Kevin

161
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 3: O'Connell and company are watching the same tape, I am

162
00:08:00,480 --> 00:08:03,800
Speaker 3: Chandler just keeps the starting job moving forward because he

163
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:07,680
Speaker 3: has looked better than Madison frequently. I think he will

164
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 3: be in line for twenty plus touches in Madison does sit,

165
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,680
Speaker 3: which makes him a locked and loaded start. If Madison back,

166
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:15,800
Speaker 3: it becomes a little bit more of a fringe flex play.

167
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:17,280
Speaker 3: Watch the news from beat reporters.

168
00:08:17,560 --> 00:08:19,760
Speaker 1: The Vikings have been telling us that they don't want

169
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: Alexander Madison to be the guy. I mean, that's why

170
00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:24,440
Speaker 1: they added Cam Akers. Unfortunately that didn't work out. Ty

171
00:08:24,520 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: Chandler gives him another excuse to sort of move Madison

172
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:29,559
Speaker 1: out of that role to take a quick break stick around.

173
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: Who'll be right back?

174
00:08:36,440 --> 00:08:39,959
Speaker 2: Chase Brown. It's been fun if you have Chase Brown.

175
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:42,120
Speaker 2: I guess not so much if you have Joe Mixon,

176
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 2: because he's stealing work and looking really good doing so.

177
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,160
Speaker 2: But how do you feel about the Bengals running back?

178
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 1: Yeah?

179
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,640
Speaker 3: I have mixed feelings that Chase Brown is simultaneously one

180
00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:53,640
Speaker 3: of the most exciting and most frustrating options in fantasy

181
00:08:53,720 --> 00:08:56,720
Speaker 3: right now. Very much a lah Heaton Mitchell. Hope he

182
00:08:56,760 --> 00:08:59,520
Speaker 3: gets better and devon a chan this year in that

183
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:02,839
Speaker 3: he has consistently shown he could have an elite RB

184
00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:05,960
Speaker 3: one ceiling with a full workload because of how electric

185
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:08,960
Speaker 3: he is, but he's instead playing change of pace to

186
00:09:09,040 --> 00:09:14,120
Speaker 3: a quote reliable early down quote plotter. I use those

187
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 3: two terms loosely because Joe Mixing, Gus Edwards, and Raheem

188
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:20,920
Speaker 3: Moser have all been quite solid in their own But

189
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,439
Speaker 3: the tough part with Brown is that I don't necessarily

190
00:09:23,559 --> 00:09:26,360
Speaker 3: expect his role to change that much from what we've

191
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:29,079
Speaker 3: see in these past couple weeks, which have been growing,

192
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 3: so that's nice. But the Bengals have had great success

193
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,559
Speaker 3: with this split. This past Saturday, he had ten touches

194
00:09:35,559 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 3: to mix in thirteen in that overtime win. He's averaging

195
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,480
Speaker 3: six point six yards per touch, which makes it a

196
00:09:41,520 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 3: lot easier to deal with that low volume count, and

197
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 3: he's always a threat to break a huge touchdown. I

198
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 3: think he's explosive if explosiveness makes him a viable flex

199
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:54,079
Speaker 3: play regardless of the workload concerns, and for one more

200
00:09:54,120 --> 00:09:56,800
Speaker 3: week at least, he holds a massive handcuff value should

201
00:09:56,800 --> 00:09:59,240
Speaker 3: anything happen to mix in. You're still starting mix in,

202
00:09:59,280 --> 00:10:01,920
Speaker 3: by the way, but I think Chase Brown is in play.

203
00:10:02,520 --> 00:10:04,760
Speaker 3: If you are, if you came with a zero RB

204
00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:06,559
Speaker 3: straton and made it to the semi finals, if you've

205
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 3: lost a guy recently, you could definitely do worse than

206
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,440
Speaker 3: Chase Brown.

207
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:13,200
Speaker 1: Meanwhile, in Los Angeles, it's all over but the cry

208
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:15,280
Speaker 1: and for the Chargers this year. But josh Palmer came back,

209
00:10:15,320 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: caught a long touchdown, and I think we're just chasing

210
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:21,959
Speaker 1: the upside there with Easton Stick at quarterback.

211
00:10:22,320 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: Yeah, we are. It would be a lot nicer if

212
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:27,600
Speaker 3: we had justin Herbert. But look what was otherwise one

213
00:10:27,640 --> 00:10:30,400
Speaker 3: of the ugliest performances we've ever seen by an NFL

214
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 3: football team. Joshua Palmer still stepped up big for fantasy

215
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:37,400
Speaker 3: manager managers on Thursday Night Football with Keenan Allen out.

216
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 3: He led the team to the one hundred and thirteen

217
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 3: yards and that long touchdown. You mentioned only four catches,

218
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 3: which also came on only four targets, which is kind

219
00:10:45,679 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 3: of baffling considering the game state for this entire game

220
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:52,959
Speaker 3: as we've all seen. But I guess what wasn't baffling

221
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:56,840
Speaker 3: about LA in that game listen. In four games that

222
00:10:56,960 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 3: Palmer has played seventy plus percent of the snaps this year,

223
00:10:59,640 --> 00:11:03,000
Speaker 3: he's out average six point five targets and ninety six

224
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 3: receiving yards per game, and in the last two such games,

225
00:11:06,520 --> 00:11:09,160
Speaker 3: including this past Thursday, he topped one hundred and ten

226
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,280
Speaker 3: yards and eighteen fantasy points in both. I'd expect a

227
00:11:12,280 --> 00:11:15,559
Speaker 3: whole lot more of that recipe against the Bills on Saturday,

228
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,360
Speaker 3: even with Keenan Allen likely back on the field, and

229
00:11:18,760 --> 00:11:21,520
Speaker 3: with any luck, the Bolts will get that kind of

230
00:11:21,559 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 3: scientifically proven new coach bump thing that happens for very

231
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,520
Speaker 3: little explicable reason except that the people are really tired

232
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:29,880
Speaker 3: of the old guy, in this case Brandon Staley, who

233
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,800
Speaker 3: was finally fired. Maybe we get a little fun from

234
00:11:32,800 --> 00:11:36,520
Speaker 3: the Chargers and easan stick Joshua Palmer this coming weekend.

235
00:11:36,559 --> 00:11:38,280
Speaker 3: I think he's a locked and loaded flex play and

236
00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:39,679
Speaker 3: has wide decep for two upside.

237
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,520
Speaker 2: Speaking of upside, it didn't matter that no CJ. Stroud,

238
00:11:43,640 --> 00:11:47,040
Speaker 2: Nico Collins, all of that, Noah Brown went off this week. CJ.

239
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:50,440
Speaker 2: Stroud could potentially be back. Nico Collins we have to monitor,

240
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:52,920
Speaker 2: but oh god, it's a tough matchup against the Browns.

241
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:56,280
Speaker 2: Do you think we could not only pick up Noah

242
00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:57,960
Speaker 2: Brown should he be started this week?

243
00:11:58,240 --> 00:12:01,360
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's gonna be close. What we've learned over the

244
00:12:01,360 --> 00:12:03,960
Speaker 3: course of this year is that the Texans wide receiver

245
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 3: one position might be one of the most lucrative in

246
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 3: fantasy and we saw that this past Sunday with what

247
00:12:09,320 --> 00:12:12,679
Speaker 3: you just described Noah Brown's blow up game. As it's

248
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,439
Speaker 3: been Tank Deler earlier in the year, it's been Nico Collins.

249
00:12:15,440 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 3: With tank Out, you're seemingly guarantee you get a top

250
00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:21,680
Speaker 3: ten whiteout on the week from Houston's go to guy.

251
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,480
Speaker 3: For Brown, it was twenty two Fantasy points on eight

252
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:28,239
Speaker 3: catches for eighty two yards and a score on eleven targets,

253
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:31,280
Speaker 3: and all of that was from case Keenum rather than

254
00:12:31,320 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 3: c J. Stroud. Now, Nico Collins participated in a pregame

255
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 3: workout on Sunday and he seemed to be almost good

256
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,520
Speaker 3: to go, So I would expect he's back a top

257
00:12:39,520 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 3: of the depth chart this next week against the Browns.

258
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 3: But I'd also lean towards the likelihood that Stroud clears

259
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,920
Speaker 3: concussion protocol ahead of that contest and is back and

260
00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 3: he elevates the number two spot massively, and I believe

261
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:55,680
Speaker 3: does keep Noah Brown in the starter conversation even in

262
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 3: a tougher matchup. I think he's a flex play for sure.

263
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:01,640
Speaker 3: And if if you make it through the semis, whether

264
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,600
Speaker 3: Brown is in your lineup or not, they get The

265
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:07,360
Speaker 3: Titans in the Fantasy Championship were much softer against whiteouts

266
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:09,880
Speaker 3: than I think Brown becomes a league winning proposition there.

267
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:11,640
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I know we were sort of worried

268
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:14,839
Speaker 1: about case Keenum, but I mean we weren't starting case Keenum.

269
00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,959
Speaker 1: We just needed him to throw the ball downfield, and

270
00:13:17,160 --> 00:13:19,079
Speaker 1: that's exactly what he did. And Noah Brown was the

271
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:22,400
Speaker 1: recipient of that last one. Is Isaiah likely? I mean

272
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,319
Speaker 1: we loved him once Mark Andrews went down. I mean

273
00:13:25,440 --> 00:13:27,199
Speaker 1: there are people that were on him as a sleeper

274
00:13:27,240 --> 00:13:31,240
Speaker 1: even before Andrews got hurt. I would say, like, worry

275
00:13:31,240 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: about the matchup, But I guess the volume sort of

276
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,200
Speaker 1: outweighs the matchup against the forty nine ers next week.

277
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:37,800
Speaker 3: I think it does. It's really the biggest key with

278
00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:41,240
Speaker 3: tight ends, especially streamer or waiver wire tight ends, and

279
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:43,920
Speaker 3: I and I think we have been begging you to

280
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 3: add Isaiah Likely. Since Andrews went down with the season

281
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:49,880
Speaker 3: ending injury. Somehow, he's still just twenty five percent Rossford

282
00:13:50,200 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 3: in NFL dot com leagues. I don't understand. This is nonsense,

283
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:57,360
Speaker 3: silly goose behavior. So it makes things easy. Here's the

284
00:13:57,400 --> 00:14:00,160
Speaker 3: list of guys you're definitely not benching for Likely in

285
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:05,320
Speaker 3: Week sixteen. Gravis Kelsey, TJ. Howkinson, Sam Laporta, and Trey McBride.

286
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 3: Those are the elite, doesn't matter the matchup, you're putting

287
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,679
Speaker 3: them out there. I think that's it as far as

288
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:13,880
Speaker 3: definitely not ahead of Likely. The next group of guys

289
00:14:13,880 --> 00:14:16,080
Speaker 3: are kind of I think in a tier with Likely.

290
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:20,160
Speaker 3: That's Evan Ingram's, George Kittles, Jake Ferguson's, Daltinkin Kaid's, and

291
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:22,040
Speaker 3: I think there's a decent argument to be made that

292
00:14:22,200 --> 00:14:25,520
Speaker 3: Likely should be started around or ahead of many of

293
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:28,680
Speaker 3: those names. He had six targets, five catches seventy yards

294
00:14:28,680 --> 00:14:31,720
Speaker 3: on Sunday Night Football, all led the Ravens. He's had

295
00:14:31,800 --> 00:14:34,640
Speaker 3: eighteen plus Fantasy points in consecutive weeks. I think he's

296
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:38,080
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson's most reliable target right now. If you don't

297
00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:40,720
Speaker 3: have one of those Elite four, you should add Likely

298
00:14:40,760 --> 00:14:43,400
Speaker 3: and consider him as your starter, and if you stream

299
00:14:43,440 --> 00:14:46,120
Speaker 3: your way to the semis, I think he's absolutely your

300
00:14:46,160 --> 00:14:47,680
Speaker 3: best bet, even in a tough matchup.

301
00:14:47,760 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, we've been saying this for a while.

302
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: Pick up Isaiah Likely. Why people haven't listened, I do

303
00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:55,640
Speaker 1: not know. But for those of you who did, congratulations anyway,

304
