Speaker 1: Wow, Hey everybody, It's Monday, December twenty third, twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me your Man, MG,
Speaker 1: Marcus Grand joined by Michael Floya and Lakwan Jones. Did
Speaker 1: we still haven't started wrapping Christmas presents? It's been a
Speaker 1: big week, man. It's Week sixteen. It's the semi finals
Speaker 1: in fantasy football. I know there's still one more game
Speaker 1: to be played. Are you guys looking like you're on
Speaker 1: track to make it to any championship games? Florio, I don't.
Speaker 2: Want to talk about it. I had three games going
Speaker 2: yesterday where I looked great. One, MG, I ran into
Speaker 2: you in a dynasty league, and I had a great week.
Speaker 2: I had Lamar, I had Jaden. You put up two
Speaker 2: hundred points. I had another game where I scored one ninety,
Speaker 2: which in that league is like off the charts, but
Speaker 2: I got garbage time to death and lost by one point.
Speaker 2: And then I had another league where I'm the second
Speaker 2: highest score and I played the only team that scored
Speaker 2: more than me. Yesterday was not a very fun day
Speaker 2: for me watching.
Speaker 1: How how are we feeling, LaQuan? I actually woke up
Speaker 1: to a text message of you getting edged out in
Speaker 1: one of your ladies. But I hope the rest went better. No.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, I woke up yesterday morning five thirty.
Speaker 3: You know, Manchester United they do a dump three mil.
Speaker 1: It is what it is like.
Speaker 3: I just woke up with bad energy.
Speaker 1: And I knew, I knew. I knew that day that.
Speaker 2: Something's going to go wrong. And I lost by one point.
Speaker 3: And that's because Jayleen mcmallan didn't come through for me
Speaker 3: as much as I thought he was, but apparently because
Speaker 3: I had to go to bed. There was a four
Speaker 3: quarter interception that was going to him, which would have
Speaker 3: cleared me straight cake walk to the championship.
Speaker 2: But nope, nope. Oh yeah, the Bucks did everything they
Speaker 2: could yesterday to every single thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was That was certainly frustrating for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the one we I'm in, it's it's the one against you, Floria,
Speaker 1: which a little bit of a surprise. I was worried
Speaker 1: when I saw that you had Lamar Jackson, but you know,
Speaker 1: things turned around, so he was.
Speaker 2: My second best quarterback. That didn't matter.
Speaker 1: That works for me. We have a play to talk about.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have our biggest takeaways from Week sixteen. Understanding
Speaker 1: there is still a Monday night game to be played,
Speaker 1: but let's get started as we normally do with the
Speaker 1: fantasy headlines and a big one coming out of Philadelphia.
Speaker 1: Jalen Hurts left the loss to the Washington Commanders on
Speaker 1: Sunday with a concussion. Now, as of us recording this show,
Speaker 1: no word on his status. Also, Kenny Pickett a little
Speaker 1: bit banged up in that one, but we'll see who's
Speaker 1: going to be the starter. But Floria, I'll ask you
Speaker 1: how deep on Philly pass catchers can we go if
Speaker 1: indeed it is Kenny Pickett starting next week?
Speaker 2: You could go too deep. You could go AJ Brown
Speaker 2: and DeVonta Smith and that's about it. And next week
Speaker 2: I mean, like AJ look, I'll give him credit. Kenny
Speaker 2: Pickett was slinging it to AJ Brown and forcing it
Speaker 2: to him and doing things that. Like for weeks we
Speaker 2: were like, why can't Jalen Hurts get AJ Brown the ball?
Speaker 2: So the volume that he saw yesterday with the fifteen targets, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't see how you get away from that. DeVonta
Speaker 2: Smith had eight. Literally every other pass catcher on Philly
Speaker 2: combined two targets. So as much as like Kenny Pickett,
Speaker 2: we don't love him and everything. He did what we wanted.
Speaker 2: He had tunnel vision and he said, I'm throwing to
Speaker 2: these two players and that's it. So yeah, I think
Speaker 2: it's them two in Saquon and then you get away
Speaker 2: from the rest of the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I mean, I was say this, Canny Pickett knew the
Speaker 1: assignment right. He came in the game. He was gonna
Speaker 1: find aj Brown at all costs, so we can certainly
Speaker 1: thank him for that. But yeah, if you were trying
Speaker 1: to go a little bit deeper, if you're trying to
Speaker 1: start one of the tight ends or somebody like that,
Speaker 1: you might be out of luck heading into week seventeen. Meanwhile,
Speaker 1: in Arizona, James Connor suffered a knee injury in their
Speaker 1: game against the Carolina Panthers. Now, after the loss, the
Speaker 1: Cardinals officially eliminated from playoff contention. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if this has any impact in what's gonna happen with
Speaker 1: James Connor. But you know, going forward in Arizona, I
Speaker 1: mean there's some decent matchups.
Speaker 2: Lakwan.
Speaker 1: You also have Trey Benson banged up. I mean, what
Speaker 1: are we doing in this Arizona backfield.
Speaker 2: I mean, do you like Michael Carter?
Speaker 3: Is he on the table for you as a starter
Speaker 3: in the championship if you happen to get there with
Speaker 3: James Connor out now, I mean, I don't know. I'll
Speaker 3: probably pivot the other options if I can. But honestly,
Speaker 3: as a Rams fan, I'm actually happy about the eliminated.
Speaker 3: So when we do play them this week at Rams House,
Speaker 3: you know we are cool, common collected. There's not much
Speaker 3: to be expected from the Cardinals team that I really
Speaker 3: didn't believe into. But back to the subject, at him,
Speaker 3: James Connor, it's a huge loss, but honestly.
Speaker 2: He may be okay. He didn't look like he was.
Speaker 3: Down in spirits on the sideline and like he kind
Speaker 3: of was like encouraging his teammates out there in the
Speaker 3: first downs that Michael Carter was getting in the explosive
Speaker 3: plays that he was able to get. But more so
Speaker 3: looking at James Connor, you're just hoping that he's okay
Speaker 3: and we get an update of status and that he
Speaker 3: should be good to go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think we just got to got
Speaker 1: hoping on that, right because he's been so good all
Speaker 1: year long. I know a lot of us were into
Speaker 1: trade Benson sort of certainly as a handcuff and maybe
Speaker 1: as a guy who late season value. Look, look, I'm
Speaker 1: not naming and shaming here because I don't think there's
Speaker 1: anything wrong with it. It just seems right now a
Speaker 1: lot less likely than it did, say back in August
Speaker 1: and September, with Trey Benson there in Arizona. But who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe with the Cardinals not going anywhere, they decide to
Speaker 1: see what they have in their young guy. We'll see anyway.
Speaker 1: Those are guys that we're hoping would be fantasy heroes.
Speaker 1: Now we have some guys who were actually fantasy heroes.
Speaker 1: Looking at the top scores of the week, with still
Speaker 1: one game left to be played, but Jade and Daniels
Speaker 1: getting it done in a big way. Five touchdown passes
Speaker 1: for the rookie, including eighty one rushing yards almost thirty
Speaker 1: five points there. Jonathan Taylor two hundred and eighteen rushing
Speaker 1: yards and three touchdowns that was good for nearly forty points.
Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson ten for a buck forty four and two
Speaker 1: tuddies that was thirty six points there. Brock Bowers continuing
Speaker 1: his amazing rookie season. Eleven catches for ninety nine yards,
Speaker 1: twenty point nine points for Bowers, Brandon Aubrey, four field goals,
Speaker 1: two point afters that was twenty points, and the Falcons
Speaker 1: defense getting it done against Drew Lock and the Giants.
Speaker 1: Three sacks, three takeaways, two touchdowns, seven points allowed. That
Speaker 1: worked out to twenty five fantasy points. So those are
Speaker 1: the guys who were the overall fantasy heroes. Lakwan, who
Speaker 1: was your own individual fantasy hero this week?
Speaker 3: Well, Calvin Ridley was my fantasy hero. Like he might
Speaker 3: not have been the biggest fantasy hero out there, Like
Speaker 3: if we're gonna talk Avengers, like he would basically be Hawkeye,
Speaker 3: like there's no shot or dirt on like like he's cool,
Speaker 3: like he has cool arrows, but he's a serviceful guy.
Speaker 3: And that's exactly what Calvin Ridley showed up and did.
Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, the first quarter bomb to him was like,
Speaker 3: oh okay, we're here. Even though the game got blown out,
Speaker 3: Like the Titans in Mason Rudolph remained like a feisty team,
Speaker 3: like they're gonna go out there and still try to
Speaker 3: put something on tape.
Speaker 1: They're still going to try to go out there and
Speaker 1: play good football.
Speaker 3: Calvin Ridley put his cape on dun Da da da
Speaker 3: and saved your boy in one of my leagus that
Speaker 3: I'm less caring about, but you know, it's one of
Speaker 3: those leagues that you had friends from previous jobs and
Speaker 3: they're all kind of bad.
Speaker 1: I do love that Launch is working a lot of
Speaker 1: real lifestyle into the show today. This is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I look at somebody who does it. I'm not mad
Speaker 1: about it at all. Florida. Who is your fantasy hero
Speaker 1: for week sixteen?
Speaker 2: I was all ready for it to be James Connor
Speaker 2: and then he had to go and get hurt and
Speaker 2: all that, so poor one out who he still was
Speaker 2: amazing even though he didn't even get to play two
Speaker 2: and a half quarters or whatever it was in that game.
Speaker 2: For me, it's Sam Donald, who I think is just
Speaker 2: being very underappreciated right now. And I went off Fantasy
Speaker 2: Live last week and was like, I had a league
Speaker 2: where I was streaming quarterbacks all year and Sam Donald
Speaker 2: was one of them. And at some point I just
Speaker 2: decided I'm going to play Sam Donald and not think
Speaker 2: twice about it, And it's really worked out in six
Speaker 2: of his last seven games, he has thrown multiple passing touchdowns.
Speaker 2: He has cleared nineteen fantasy points in each of those.
Speaker 2: And when you take a look around the quarterback position,
Speaker 2: there's one we've reached the time of year where there's
Speaker 2: a whole bunch of backups playing, But then there's also
Speaker 2: guys like Anthony Richardson, brock pardy To who really haven't
Speaker 2: lived up to expectations, who have been very up or
Speaker 2: down week to week. Sam Donald is the exact opposite
Speaker 2: of that. There was no expectations, but he's been awesome,
Speaker 2: He's been consistent, and he has been one of the
Speaker 2: safest quarterbacks in fantasy football. I think he should be
Speaker 2: in the MVP conversation, not win it. But Sam Donald
Speaker 2: deserves a lot of love for what he has done
Speaker 2: this season.
Speaker 1: I will slightly correct you is that there were expectations
Speaker 1: for Donald, but they weren't good. They were the reason.
Speaker 1: They were the reason that a lot of us sort
Speaker 1: of downgraded Justin Jefferson, right, were like, I don't know
Speaker 1: how Justin Jefferson because he's got Sam Donald. Like there's
Speaker 1: reason we backed away from Jordan Addison because he had
Speaker 1: Sam Donald. So there were expectations, just not positive expectations
Speaker 1: for Sam Donald. For me, there have been expectations for
Speaker 1: Jayden Daniels all year long, but this week felt like
Speaker 1: we sort of lowered them against the Philadelphia Eagles because
Speaker 1: that defense had been playing so well, and the last
Speaker 1: time these two teams play, we did not get a
Speaker 1: big game out of Jade and Daniels. So it was
Speaker 1: hard to imagine a scenario where you weren't starting him
Speaker 1: because he's been so good all year long. But I
Speaker 1: do think a lot of fantasy managers went into the
Speaker 1: week a little bit concerned about what to get from
Speaker 1: their quarterback and lo and behold. Yeah, he threw two picks,
Speaker 1: but he threw five touchdowns, including the game winner, two
Speaker 1: hundred and fifty eight passing yards. He ran for eighty
Speaker 1: one yards. He shredded that Eagles defense in a way
Speaker 1: that it hadn't been shredded for weeks, maybe even all
Speaker 1: season long. Get you thirty four points in a week
Speaker 1: when you probably needed it a ton, So shout out
Speaker 1: to Jade and Daniels. Also, all the people with the
Speaker 1: Cliff Kingsbury offenses fade in the second half of the season,
Speaker 1: those folks are in shambles right now because Jade and
Speaker 1: Daniels and the Commanders have continued to cook even in
Speaker 1: the back part of this fantasy season. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Those were our heroes for Week sixteen. Now it's time
Speaker 1: to kind of back off and take more of a
Speaker 1: thirty thousand foot view of the whole thing with our
Speaker 1: Week sixteen takeaways. Lakwan, what have you learn from the week?
Speaker 2: Wow?
Speaker 3: I mean football on Jersey Man. It looked good against
Speaker 3: my Rams, but we still came out with a w.
Speaker 3: But more so, the Jets players could be trusted, Like
Speaker 3: you can really put these guys in starting lineups, like
Speaker 3: I'm talking about the skill players, Priests Hall. You have
Speaker 3: obvious Wilson still playing like he's going out there winning
Speaker 3: a Super Bowl. He's very fidically and trying to make
Speaker 3: the plays out there to catch, like we kept seeing
Speaker 3: him just dancing as soon as he got the ball,
Speaker 3: salsa dancing, trying to make the big plays. So there's
Speaker 3: still motivation there for this guy to go out there
Speaker 3: and put up big points. And now I know Davonte Adams
Speaker 3: had the better game, but he's playing back like he's
Speaker 3: playing with the cheeseheads again.
Speaker 1: Like Aaron Rodgers and him.
Speaker 3: It's a toxic relationship, but they're still going out there
Speaker 3: putting up big points. Davante Adams again should not be
Speaker 3: questioned in start and sit. He is a complete start
Speaker 3: in the championship. You ride in with the horse that
Speaker 3: got you there. And honestly, Breese Hall, that was the
Speaker 3: most work that we've seen him have in the last
Speaker 3: couple of weeks dealing with injury. So therefore he's back
Speaker 3: to running a ton of routes, catching a bunch of
Speaker 3: passes with a favorable matchup on the ground against the
Speaker 3: Bills this week. I look at Jets players as a
Speaker 3: high priority that you want to get these guys in
Speaker 3: your starting lineups this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you're talking about toxic, right. I mean,
Speaker 1: for a good chunk of the season, Aaron Rodgers was
Speaker 1: a big thing that was wrong with the Jets and
Speaker 1: played their way out of playoff contention. Now, all of
Speaker 1: a sudden, he and Devonte Adams trying to turn back
Speaker 1: the clock to the Green Bay days and start lighting
Speaker 1: it up. And now the Jets are gonna start you know,
Speaker 1: I know they lost yesterday, but gonna start your winning
Speaker 1: games of being competitive and doing nothing but wrecking their
Speaker 1: draft spots. So shout out to you, Aaron, It's gonna
Speaker 1: be great. Great.
Speaker 2: I have multiple Jets that starts and start sit this week, So.
Speaker 1: I mean, look at makes sense. One, I mean, it
Speaker 1: doesn't make sense on one level. But also I feel
Speaker 1: like this is you sort of trying to reverse jinks
Speaker 1: the Jets too, since they're playing the Bills.
Speaker 2: It's the fact that I've watched this Bills defense. They
Speaker 2: either get a turnover or they allow a touchdown.
Speaker 1: There's no the three true outcomes defense right now is
Speaker 1: what you got going on. Yeah, Florida, what did.
Speaker 2: You learn from week sixteen that Jared Goff he's not
Speaker 2: an indoor cat only anymore. He learned how to go outside,
Speaker 2: stretch his claws or whatever you want to say. Because
Speaker 2: it was freezing cold in Chicago yesterday. Look fake fumble,
Speaker 2: fake falling down, gonna throw a touchdown on the porta.
Speaker 2: His touchdown pass to Jamison Williams was I believe his
Speaker 2: longest completion in his career. Only Patrick Mahomes has more
Speaker 2: three hundred yard games through nine seasons in a player
Speaker 2: career than Jared Goff. Like I think his career as
Speaker 2: a hole is very underrated. But in the freezing cold
Speaker 2: in Chicago last week, three hundred and thirty six yards,
Speaker 2: three touchdowns, twenty five fantasy points, Top three fantasy quarterback
Speaker 2: on the week. I think he likes to look at
Speaker 2: the cold like that Lebron scared gift. But more than anything,
Speaker 2: to me, this gives you peace of mind that next
Speaker 2: week in an outdoor game in the Fantasy Championships, you
Speaker 2: could start Jared Goff.
Speaker 1: I mean, Ben Johnson was just straight up flexing on
Speaker 1: the Bears yesterday, right that like fake fumble, him stumbling
Speaker 1: around waiting to like throw the ball down field. Was
Speaker 1: just like that was just disrespectful, is what that was?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: And like the worst part is if he applies for
Speaker 1: the Bear's head coaching job, that's probably the first play
Speaker 1: that he's gonna like you put on the reel, like, hey,
Speaker 1: remember when I did this to you guys? You could
Speaker 1: have this on your side Like that just was just
Speaker 1: straight up disrespectful.
Speaker 2: After the game, the Bills yesterday were like we were
Speaker 2: saving stuff for the playoffs in our offensive playbook, and
Speaker 2: Ben Johnson laughs at that theory. He's just like anything
Speaker 2: I do now is gonna scare you so much in
Speaker 2: the playoffs that I could do whatever I want.
Speaker 1: I saw somebody suggesting that, like they're gonna run all
Speaker 1: these trick plays and make defenses worry about it, and
Speaker 1: they're just gonna run a whole bunch of conventional plays
Speaker 1: in the playoffs because so smart, it'll be the last
Speaker 1: thing you're expecting. Like they're just gonna drop back and
Speaker 1: throw it. Like what is this? Uh, it's just might
Speaker 1: it might just be crazy enough to work. Speaking of
Speaker 1: things crazy enough to work. But Michael Pennocks thing, it's working.
Speaker 1: At least it seems like it's working. I know it's
Speaker 1: been one game, and I know that game was against
Speaker 1: the New York Football Giants, but Pinnicks looked good out there,
Speaker 1: and I know that statistically, maybe it wasn't the hugest
Speaker 1: game for Michael Pinnix in his NFL starting debut, But
Speaker 1: you just watch the way the offense operated. You saw
Speaker 1: the way he was able to move the ball around
Speaker 1: to get his guys involved, and you start to understand
Speaker 1: why it is that the Falcons were really high on him.
Speaker 1: And now you know she can certainly have the conversation
Speaker 1: about whether or not they should have made the move earlier,
Speaker 1: and maybe they'd have a better shot at the playoffs.
Speaker 1: But I do think there's reason for us to be optimistic,
Speaker 1: certainly for guys like Drake London, for Darnell Mooney. Maybe
Speaker 1: not you, Kyle Pitts, not if you're volleyballing the football
Speaker 1: into the hands of defensive backs. But for a lot
Speaker 1: of the other pass catchers there in Atlanta, I think
Speaker 1: there's reason for us to believe that for the last
Speaker 1: week or two we can kind of go back to them.
Speaker 1: I was very much taking a weight and see attitude
Speaker 1: when it came to Michael Pinnocks, and I think I've
Speaker 1: seen what I need to see. I feel confident about
Speaker 1: starting any of my Falcons pass catchers. Not starting Pincks yet,
Speaker 1: but we're starting the pass catchers.
Speaker 2: At his throws must have looked like a Nolan Ryan
Speaker 2: fastball after a season worth a Cousin change.
Speaker 1: Ups, just those little Jamie Moyer flutterballs it Kirk Cousins
Speaker 1: had been throwing up there. Yeah, I'm sure it was
Speaker 1: a whole lot different. Though with Michael Pennocks we got
Speaker 1: a whole lot.
Speaker 2: More to get too.
Speaker 1: We're gonna dive into the waiver wire plus a John
Speaker 1: new Smith update because we got to do that as well.
Speaker 1: Stick around for more of the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
Speaker 1: People still have waiver needs, Florio who should they look at?
Speaker 2: Only should be going hard for players if you were
Speaker 2: planning on starting them this week, but some good streamers
Speaker 2: at quarterback. Bryce Young gets the Bucks, who had a
Speaker 2: really good game against earlier this season. Anthony Richardson gets
Speaker 2: that weak Giants defense, and then Drake May the playmaker
Speaker 2: gets the Chargers who have struggled against the pass as
Speaker 2: of late, Trey Benson and Michael Carter. Because James Conner's
Speaker 2: up in the air, Trey Benson also up in the air,
Speaker 2: That's why Michael Carter's there. And then a Mere Abdulla
Speaker 2: and Alexander Madison both had good fantasy games this week.
Speaker 2: Both get a good matchup next week against the Saints.
Speaker 2: Some pass catchers. Adam continues to come through and he
Speaker 2: has a very good matchup against the Bucks. Hollywood Brown
Speaker 2: very boomer bus, but it was nice to see him
Speaker 2: out there this week. Jalen mclovin is awesome, continues to
Speaker 2: get the job done and has a good matchup against
Speaker 2: the Panthers and then Kaishan Bhuti just a good amount
Speaker 2: of volume this week and looks to be taking over
Speaker 2: the number one spot there. Chika Konko had double digit
Speaker 2: targets for a second straight game and he has a
Speaker 2: good match against the Jags and then Dalton Schultz he
Speaker 2: came through last week. Now with the Tank Dell out
Speaker 2: as well, with Stefan Diggs already out, he's the number
Speaker 2: two target there against the Ravens, who've been better as
Speaker 2: of late, but on the year have really struggled against
Speaker 2: tight ends.
Speaker 1: Yeah, there are a few tight ends that are going
Speaker 1: to show up late in the season and maybe help
Speaker 1: some folks out, especially if you are one of the
Speaker 1: streaming types there. Luqu I want to ask you about
Speaker 1: Hollywood Brown because you look he's back. He had a
Speaker 1: couple of catches on Saturday for Kansas City. Have we
Speaker 1: reached wide receiver overload though? Now in the Chiefs offense?
Speaker 3: I mean no, I mean Hollywood Brown on they ran
Speaker 3: fourteen routes and he had eight targets. Like that's insane
Speaker 3: to me because he was barely out there for him
Speaker 3: to go out there and produce, and like you're already
Speaker 3: seeing that he was tapped in the entire time that
Speaker 3: he was recovering, like he knows the plays like he's
Speaker 3: out there moving so smooth and fluid.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh no.
Speaker 3: Patrick Mahomes is going to get a three P. He's
Speaker 3: going to get more weapons this late in the season.
Speaker 3: Why it's unfair, but Hywood Brown is definitely a pickup,
Speaker 3: just based on his limited production where he has the
Speaker 3: ceiling to the to the moon, the way he's been playing.
Speaker 1: I mean like the Chiefs are like Star Wars. If
Speaker 1: the Empire wins, right, it's like it's like it's like
Speaker 1: the Empire figured out how to plug up the exhaust
Speaker 1: port on the Death Star and now it's impossible to
Speaker 1: blow the thing up, Like you had your chance and
Speaker 1: everybody failed at it.
Speaker 2: So but it's like you first, you successfully blew it up,
Speaker 2: and then the refs were like, forget that you saw,
Speaker 2: it doesn't count, and then they.
Speaker 1: Run it back like know that that that phots on,
Speaker 1: that that that torpedo didn't that to didn't count, so
Speaker 1: try it again. Sorry, sorry, buddy, you went to chick
Speaker 1: a Conko though a little bit. Florio Ah is a
Speaker 1: gooder back because I went back and watching that game
Speaker 1: a little bit last night, it feels almost like a
Speaker 1: good thing now that Mason Rudolph is the quarterback like that,
Speaker 1: in a weird way, that's going to help a conco
Speaker 1: actually continue to be productive.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean in the game and a half that
Speaker 2: he's played, he's got a bunch of volume. Mean, he's
Speaker 2: got twenty one targets seventeen catches in his last two games,
Speaker 2: like catches alone. That puts him in play as a
Speaker 2: streaming option this week. But I think we were all
Speaker 2: excited for not for what Will Levis could be for
Speaker 2: real life, but because we thought it would be like
Speaker 2: chaotic for fantasy purposes. That hasn't been the case. So
Speaker 2: now getting someone I guess just a little bit steadier
Speaker 2: and Mason Rudolph makes it easier to trust the pass catchers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, I think just watching it, it made
Speaker 1: me sort of worried about Calvin Ridley going down the stretch,
Speaker 1: just because Rudolph doesn't seem to want to push the
Speaker 1: ball downfield. But guys like chick A Conkuo and like
Speaker 1: Taija Spears seem to have a lot more value because
Speaker 1: that just seems to be where Mason ruthe off kind
Speaker 1: of once, which.
Speaker 2: Is hilarious because last year when Ray Mason took over
Speaker 2: for the Steelers, it was like he's got the best
Speaker 2: deep ball of the bunch.
Speaker 1: So like wild but also we start we also believe
Speaker 1: that James Washington would be a thing in Pittsburgh because
Speaker 1: James Washington Mason Rudolph were roommates in college, and that
Speaker 1: that never worked out, not even a little bit. Never
Speaker 1: had breakfast. You know what, you should have brought ed
Speaker 1: McMuffin to practice. That was your problem, James, that was
Speaker 1: your problem. Guy who's not having a problem lately is
Speaker 1: John U. Smith. That means that Lakwan has a problem.
Speaker 1: So it's do a John H. Smith update. This week
Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers, kind of a manhohum game.
Speaker 1: Six catches for sixty two yards, twelve point two points.
Speaker 1: I believe he was the tight end nine heading into
Speaker 1: Monday night football, so just kind of a mad game.
Speaker 1: But uh, Lakwana just keeps adding, it just keeps building.
Speaker 1: He's right now the tight end four seven point nine
Speaker 1: points behind tight end three Trey McBride. Meanwhile, he's about
Speaker 1: the thirty four to thirty five points I think ahead
Speaker 1: of tight end six, it seems like you've made peace.
Speaker 3: You've made peace with this, right, I've made peace with
Speaker 3: it to the point where I already acquired the hair dye.
Speaker 3: I've already put it on my head to see, like
Speaker 3: how would this look like? Man, Like I could wear
Speaker 3: this colored shirt with this and it wouldn't look completely insane.
Speaker 3: Because I didn't even think about this until Florio brung
Speaker 3: this up over the weekend, Like I have to go
Speaker 3: pick my kids up from school looking like this because
Speaker 3: of John new Smith wanting to have a career fantasy year.
Speaker 1: Like, I did not think this all the way through.
Speaker 2: Obviously in August.
Speaker 1: There's what am I going to do? That says you
Speaker 1: can't wear hats like in real life, But I mean,
Speaker 1: like on the show, you gotta you know, you got
Speaker 1: to show this thing off but off. Yeah, man, I.
Speaker 3: Don't wear hats like that though, like you will have
Speaker 3: to match with that.
Speaker 1: It's so difficult.
Speaker 3: I didn't even think this through, man, Like you you.
Speaker 2: Just set shirts.
Speaker 1: You know, you could use a lot of shirts to
