The Christmas Tripleheader left nothing but cole in 14 00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,600 Speaker 3: most of our viewing habits. What the Max Brozmer experience. 15 00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 3: Even in a win, it's tough to watch. Hopefully better 16 00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:01,440 Speaker 3: things to come in Week seven, Still a w though. 17 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:05,160 Speaker 1: How disappointed are you? If you're a LIONCE fan. It's 18 00:01:05,160 --> 00:01:08,520 Speaker 1: one thing to get eliminated from the playoffs. It's another 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,680 Speaker 1: to basically beat. You got beat because a guy executed 20 00:01:11,720 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 1: a sixty five yard handle. 21 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:17,320 Speaker 3: Yeah right, they had net three yards passing. He had 22 00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,040 Speaker 3: fifty one himself. They lost forty eight yards on sacks. 23 00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,399 Speaker 3: Turns out to a net three yard passing game in 24 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,839 Speaker 3: the Lions. The Lions were defeated handedly. You're right, twenty 25 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 3: three to ten. Boy, I had Jamior Gibbs in the guillotine, 26 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:37,319 Speaker 3: crapped out. Anybody who had Amanra not happy. So there 27 00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:40,640 Speaker 3: was some stinkers. I played Justin Jefferson and you guys 28 00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:45,560 Speaker 3: know this podcast just solely because out of spite, Like 29 00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:47,560 Speaker 3: that's what it was like. I was not under any 30 00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:50,320 Speaker 3: sort of thought in a third place game that I 31 00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,160 Speaker 3: was gonna get one hundred and twenty yards and a 32 00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 3: touchdown from Justin Jefferson. But I just played him anyway. 33 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,640 Speaker 3: I said, screw it, we're going out. We're going out. 34 00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:00,760 Speaker 3: You brought us to this dance, you're gonna I. 35 00:02:00,720 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 1: Just thought for giggles, they just do a seven step 36 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:05,520 Speaker 1: drop or have them out of the shotgun and just 37 00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 1: gun it down hill. 38 00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 4: Right. 39 00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: Lion's secondary has been siv like most of the season. 40 00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,080 Speaker 1: They're down a number of starters. All of this that 41 00:02:13,120 --> 00:02:16,360 Speaker 1: they just say wing it around. No, Instead, he's running 42 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,720 Speaker 1: for his life and turtling time and again just unconscidable. 43 00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:24,840 Speaker 1: The Jamiir Gibbs thing is absolutely uh well, but it 44 00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: went in line with what the year had been for him. 45 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 1: I had had been feast or famine all year long. 46 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:35,000 Speaker 1: Add the fumble lost for the added bonus. Dallas, you 47 00:02:35,080 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 1: got some love from Dak Prescott, who ended up playing 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: thank you to Washington and Bill Crosskey Merritt and company 49 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:45,280 Speaker 1: for keeping it close. So they never got an opportunity 50 00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:47,839 Speaker 1: to go to Joe Milton. So if you started Dak 51 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,960 Speaker 1: and the receivers, you got a little bit of love there. 52 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:53,960 Speaker 1: Javonte Williams going down with the injury obviously a huge loss, 53 00:02:54,520 --> 00:02:57,760 Speaker 1: and Crosskey Merritt. If you were online and you got 54 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:02,320 Speaker 1: the bonus that Rodriguez un fortunately got downgraded, then maybe 55 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,800 Speaker 1: he became on RB two. That gave you some saving 56 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:09,120 Speaker 1: grace and what was otherwise a miserable fantasy experience. Lastly, 57 00:03:09,160 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 1: I guess bo Nicks because of the rushing touchdown and 58 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: he gets the passing touchdown to Harvey. He gets you 59 00:03:16,160 --> 00:03:19,840 Speaker 1: over a bit, but overall three games that we can 60 00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:21,920 Speaker 1: say congratulations on a job done. 61 00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,840 Speaker 3: Here's my only worry that people who had a bunch 62 00:03:25,840 --> 00:03:28,080 Speaker 3: of guys go on Thursday. Aren't gonna listen to this 63 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:30,639 Speaker 3: podcast because they feel their title game is already over. 64 00:03:30,720 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 3: That's fair, right, Maybe if you're in a punishment mode 65 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:35,800 Speaker 3: and trying to avoid that punishment, you'll listen to this 66 00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:38,160 Speaker 3: just just try to save that tattoo from going on 67 00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 3: your butt. But otherwise, I as I said, I looked 68 00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,640 Speaker 3: at my score, I've got like ten point six points 69 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,440 Speaker 3: in my longtime league. Thanks George Pickens and Justin Jefferson, Like, 70 00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 3: there's just it's tough to come back now. It's not 71 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:53,360 Speaker 3: over and over, sure, but when when the highest of 72 00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,960 Speaker 3: highest of stakes are being played, it stinks that we 73 00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,840 Speaker 3: had some stinkers on Thursday. 74 00:03:57,600 --> 00:04:00,560 Speaker 1: Then you just wish and hope that everybody else's stars 75 00:04:00,600 --> 00:04:03,720 Speaker 1: fail too, that they like I'm on ross A Brown. 76 00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: You mentioned him, he said he was mad about playing 77 00:04:05,600 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 1: on Christmas. Is that what translated into his lackluster effort? 78 00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 1: And for the last place, again, did you see the 79 00:04:11,560 --> 00:04:12,840 Speaker 1: ihop promotion that's going on. 80 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:16,080 Speaker 4: I saw the commercial. 81 00:04:15,680 --> 00:04:18,960 Speaker 1: Was fantastic, so and then you got people talking trash 82 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:22,360 Speaker 1: to them. So yeah, bottomless pancakes coming back. That's that's 83 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:23,040 Speaker 1: the losers. 84 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,640 Speaker 5: That's gotta be the goal for any marketing team or 85 00:04:25,680 --> 00:04:29,200 Speaker 5: advertising like or ihop in general, like they love this 86 00:04:29,480 --> 00:04:32,040 Speaker 5: so much, like this is the absolute best case scenario 87 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:34,400 Speaker 5: that they're just going viral in addition to just having 88 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 5: a great ad. 89 00:04:35,200 --> 00:04:38,640 Speaker 1: No, it's smart, just all around, just a good, good 90 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:40,440 Speaker 1: way to dive on to what's become a trend the 91 00:04:40,480 --> 00:04:41,200 Speaker 1: last couple of years. 92 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:43,200 Speaker 3: By the way, speaking of Christmas ads, I don't know 93 00:04:43,200 --> 00:04:45,719 Speaker 3: if this was in my subconscious. So I'm actually asking 94 00:04:45,760 --> 00:04:48,880 Speaker 3: you guys, do you guys ever remember any like Dura 95 00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 3: cell commercials or energizer commercials in the past. Sure where 96 00:04:52,520 --> 00:04:54,720 Speaker 3: it's like Christmas morning and no one has batteries. 97 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 4: I couldn't remember if that was. 98 00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,600 Speaker 3: I was just thinking of that because I went out 99 00:04:59,640 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 3: for some Christmas shopping and I'm like, I need triple 100 00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:04,280 Speaker 3: A batteries. I got to make sure I bring them back, 101 00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,160 Speaker 3: and I secured them, and I'm like, that would be 102 00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:08,080 Speaker 3: a good commercial. I'm like, I can't remember if I 103 00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:11,080 Speaker 3: saw it, or I can't remember if I actually came 104 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 3: up with an original idea. And then Christmas morning comes 105 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 3: around and I forgot to get double A batteries. 106 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,360 Speaker 4: So yeah, so now all that I bought the wrong 107 00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:19,719 Speaker 4: stinking battery size. 108 00:05:19,760 --> 00:05:22,320 Speaker 3: I thought I needed more Triple A, which we were 109 00:05:22,320 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 3: completely out of. We only had like two Double A. 110 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:27,280 Speaker 3: My son gets a remote control car, you need two 111 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,200 Speaker 3: batteries for the remote control. You need three batteries for 112 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:33,599 Speaker 3: the truck. Yes, by the way, took them out of 113 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,480 Speaker 3: the Christmas lights that are flashing in the house. 114 00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 4: Were like, all right, here are here are the three batteries. 115 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:38,680 Speaker 4: Let's make this work. 116 00:05:38,720 --> 00:05:42,080 Speaker 1: I know what I'm buying you now, so I noted, uh, 117 00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:46,200 Speaker 1: but that was like thirty years ago. Those ads though, Okay, 118 00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:48,000 Speaker 1: that would be something that I think you would bring 119 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: back now to remind folks, because remote control cars and 120 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:53,479 Speaker 1: stuff are back. Like I was at a at a 121 00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:56,679 Speaker 1: costco near me last week and there were a whole 122 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,919 Speaker 1: aisle full of things and every one of them was 123 00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,160 Speaker 1: a battery operator something, and it's like, I don't think 124 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:03,920 Speaker 1: people think about it the same way. 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,400 Speaker 4: You need it. You need I have a battery bin. 126 00:06:06,520 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 3: And the problem was I just didn't check the tote 127 00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:11,440 Speaker 3: that we have it in to see how many Double 128 00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:13,640 Speaker 3: A that we had, and I just knew that we 129 00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 3: were out of Triple A. And yes, speaking of Christmas commercials, 130 00:06:17,800 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 3: all right, enough waste of your time on that. Let's 131 00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,279 Speaker 3: get to the real numbers that matter. Mike Harmon's rankings 132 00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:25,400 Speaker 3: for Week seventeen. Your top five quarterbacks, running backs, and 133 00:06:25,440 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 3: wide receivers. Mike, let's get to your top five qbs. 134 00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,680 Speaker 1: Let's have some file. Let's go with Joe Burrow. Three 135 00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:33,160 Speaker 1: of his four games back, he's been fantastic. I still 136 00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:37,040 Speaker 1: want answers over what happened against Baltimore when everybody looked disinterested. 137 00:06:37,080 --> 00:06:41,160 Speaker 1: But you're looking at nineteen twenty five, twenty eight in 138 00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:44,840 Speaker 1: those three performances, twenty five touchdowns against ten picks. That's 139 00:06:44,880 --> 00:06:47,640 Speaker 1: what Arizona's given up, and they look like they're giving 140 00:06:47,760 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 1: up as well, at least defensively. But maybe they're inspired 141 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 1: by the Jacoby Brissett love with his offensive line and 142 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,880 Speaker 1: then the Christmas gifts. Matthew Stafford going up against Atlanta. 143 00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:00,279 Speaker 1: He's second overall. Four times he's gone over twenty one 144 00:07:00,320 --> 00:07:02,599 Speaker 1: points in his last five, averaging twenty one points for 145 00:07:02,680 --> 00:07:07,320 Speaker 1: the season. Middling Atlanta defense giving up about sixteen point 146 00:07:07,320 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: two a game. We'll take the over on this. Pukinakua 147 00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:14,080 Speaker 1: still trying to make up for his bad decisions last week. 148 00:07:14,280 --> 00:07:17,480 Speaker 1: Trevor Lawrence going up against Indianapolis. He's just had a 149 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,400 Speaker 1: monster second half. You know, he's already number four in 150 00:07:20,520 --> 00:07:24,120 Speaker 1: fantasy quarterbacks now at this point, he's got nine games 151 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:27,920 Speaker 1: with at least nineteen fantasy points. Going up against Indianapolis. 152 00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:31,520 Speaker 1: The ship is sinking and they'll have an opportunity here 153 00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:34,120 Speaker 1: that Jackson will squad. The only thing you fear is 154 00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: that too much in the run game. But maybe Lawrence 155 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 1: gives you some of his legs as well. Drake May 156 00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: going up against the Jets, because Jets, he's got ten 157 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:45,080 Speaker 1: games at least nineteen points. He's third overall, averaging nearly 158 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,040 Speaker 1: twenty one a game, Jets' seventh most get points allowed 159 00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,920 Speaker 1: over the last four and for the year, it's twenty 160 00:07:50,960 --> 00:07:55,000 Speaker 1: six against nothing. Will the streak continue? And then finally 161 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:57,480 Speaker 1: let's go with Jalen Hurts using his legs a little 162 00:07:57,520 --> 00:07:59,920 Speaker 1: bit more. We're seeing the shift right back to Berkley, 163 00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: back to Hurts making plays with his legs. So he 164 00:08:02,200 --> 00:08:04,800 Speaker 1: gets the nod over his counterpart here coming off the 165 00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:07,520 Speaker 1: injury list, that is Josh Allen, but Hurts coming in 166 00:08:07,560 --> 00:08:11,120 Speaker 1: at number five six to total points, averaging nineteen points 167 00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,680 Speaker 1: per game. Buffalo eighth best over the last four six 168 00:08:14,720 --> 00:08:17,640 Speaker 1: touchdowns five picks, but they've given up the seventh most 169 00:08:17,720 --> 00:08:19,680 Speaker 1: rushing yards on the air. 170 00:08:19,800 --> 00:08:22,960 Speaker 3: I thought that the game was really late in the season, 171 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:25,480 Speaker 3: and I saw on a TikTok from I think it 172 00:08:25,520 --> 00:08:30,240 Speaker 3: was wgr in Buffalo and the host there, and I've 173 00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:33,520 Speaker 3: apologize for not running his name down, but just basically 174 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:36,080 Speaker 3: made the point that the NFL kind of wasted this 175 00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:37,200 Speaker 3: Eagles Bills game. 176 00:08:37,600 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 4: There's not the high stakes. 177 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,199 Speaker 3: It's now on a You needed this to be like 178 00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,000 Speaker 3: week six or week five to really like grab an interest. 179 00:08:44,040 --> 00:08:47,080 Speaker 3: And while it's nice to see, this also could have 180 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,040 Speaker 3: been a Super Bowl matchup, So I don't know why 181 00:08:49,040 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 3: the NFL would want to rematch, you know, to put 182 00:08:51,080 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 3: it so late in the season. I do feel like 183 00:08:53,160 --> 00:08:55,880 Speaker 3: the value of Eagles Bills is a bit wasted because 184 00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:58,199 Speaker 3: the stakes just really aren't there for the teams. 185 00:08:58,280 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: Seems like this would have been one of those games 186 00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,880 Speaker 1: is going and it's one of the other schedule quirks 187 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: that we talk about all the time. It's like football 188 00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:07,040 Speaker 1: is just coming back and everybody gets excited, and I 189 00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 1: could play we give up too many of those matchups 190 00:09:09,480 --> 00:09:11,440 Speaker 1: for week one or week two. But to your point, 191 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:13,360 Speaker 1: if this is in the first half of the season, 192 00:09:13,440 --> 00:09:15,839 Speaker 1: like maybe when everybody's starting to take their buys, then 193 00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:18,600 Speaker 1: it still has that juice. At this point. Now it's 194 00:09:18,679 --> 00:09:19,280 Speaker 1: just a matter of. 195 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:23,040 Speaker 3: Seating, yes, right, and the Eagles kind of locked into theirs. 196 00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:26,000 Speaker 3: The Bills just probably locked into a wildcard just the matters. 197 00:09:26,000 --> 00:09:28,360 Speaker 3: If it's five, six or seven. Division is still up 198 00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: for grabs, but just not likely. All right, Let's get 199 00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 3: to the top five running backs. 200 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,000 Speaker 1: Mike for Week seventeen, CMC going up against Chicago. I 201 00:09:35,480 --> 00:09:37,800 Speaker 1: love my Bears story, no question about it. But we 202 00:09:37,840 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: look at the Bears defense. You're gonna be able to 203 00:09:39,880 --> 00:09:41,520 Speaker 1: move the ball on them, just a matter of whether 204 00:09:41,559 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: you keep it when it matters. They are the eleventh 205 00:09:44,240 --> 00:09:47,080 Speaker 1: best over the last four against running backs. But you 206 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:50,880 Speaker 1: look at CMC, you twenty two fantasy points per game. 207 00:09:51,080 --> 00:09:53,960 Speaker 1: Continue that trend. Number two, how about a little Chase Brown, 208 00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,040 Speaker 1: Let's give them a little bit of love here. Up 209 00:09:56,120 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: to thirteenth for the full season, ninth since Week nine, 210 00:10:00,720 --> 00:10:03,280 Speaker 1: so getting it done. But going up against the second 211 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:05,880 Speaker 1: worst team going up against running backs, they give up 212 00:10:05,920 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: a lot via the passing game and you're looking at 213 00:10:09,120 --> 00:10:12,200 Speaker 1: nearly thirty seven fantasy points per game allowed to running backs, 214 00:10:12,240 --> 00:10:14,560 Speaker 1: and we know Brown, since he became a more active 215 00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:17,280 Speaker 1: part of the passing game, has been over that one 216 00:10:17,320 --> 00:10:20,480 Speaker 1: hundred total yard mark virtually every week for the last ten. 217 00:10:20,960 --> 00:10:23,760 Speaker 1: James Cook going up against Philadelphia, we know they're still 218 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: banged up on their defensive line. Back to back Monsters 219 00:10:27,240 --> 00:10:29,880 Speaker 1: twenty eight fantasy points per game and those tied for 220 00:10:29,960 --> 00:10:32,719 Speaker 1: fifth overall, seventeen plus five of six. That's what I'm 221 00:10:32,760 --> 00:10:35,080 Speaker 1: looking at leaning back into the run game. Then we 222 00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:37,640 Speaker 1: get a little bit deeper about Derrick Henry. Yeah, he 223 00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,679 Speaker 1: might fumble when you need him most, but I guarantee 224 00:10:40,679 --> 00:10:42,599 Speaker 1: you he'll get the ball in the final twelve to 225 00:10:42,640 --> 00:10:46,680 Speaker 1: fifty three of this game last week, Right, Hey, I 226 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,079 Speaker 1: got one hundred and twenty eight and two. You know what, 227 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,720 Speaker 1: it's the other guy's turn. The hell are we talking to? 228 00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:56,840 Speaker 1: This is not Ayso John Harbaugh. Also, the fact that 229 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:58,959 Speaker 1: you have Snoop Huntley means that you're gonna see a 230 00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:01,360 Speaker 1: lot of Dereck Henry in this one. And then finally 231 00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,080 Speaker 1: to round it out, the Jean Robinson going up against 232 00:11:04,160 --> 00:11:06,640 Speaker 1: the Rams, and I'm looking at it particularly because he 233 00:11:06,720 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 1: splits out wide so frequently he'll be part of the 234 00:11:09,080 --> 00:11:10,640 Speaker 1: passing game and that's where he makes his say. 235 00:11:10,679 --> 00:11:13,079 Speaker 3: Think the NFL thought they had a dandy Monday nighter 236 00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:16,040 Speaker 3: as well with that Rams Falcons game, and they got 237 00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,640 Speaker 3: half the equation correct. 238 00:11:18,880 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 1: Well, sometimes you know, it's better than the goose egg, 239 00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: which is how many titles I'm playing for? Damn it. 240 00:11:24,240 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 1: Actually there might be a Yahoo Public League still sitting 241 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,679 Speaker 1: out there, but otherwise I'm still salty about the Guillotine League. Dan, 242 00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna lie. 243 00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,679 Speaker 3: Well, you have every reason to be salty because I 244 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,600 Speaker 3: have no reason in being in the final week of that, 245 00:11:35,880 --> 00:11:36,960 Speaker 3: you know what whatsoever. 246 00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: So the positive as we sat down to record this, 247 00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:41,559 Speaker 1: I'll take some and I wish injury on no one. 248 00:11:41,679 --> 00:11:45,160 Speaker 1: George Kittle didn't practice on Friday, so at least, you know, 249 00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,880 Speaker 1: maybe it was more legit than perhaps it seemed at 250 00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:49,120 Speaker 1: the time. 251 00:11:49,240 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 3: What's worse that or Jamier Gibbs basically not playing at 252 00:11:52,960 --> 00:11:56,160 Speaker 3: all on Thursday, because that's what happened. 253 00:11:56,200 --> 00:11:58,800 Speaker 1: He had a cloak of invisibility. There's no question about that. 254 00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:01,960 Speaker 3: Rams Falcons has had me choking, and that's that's what 255 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:03,640 Speaker 3: that game did. All right, let's get to the top 256 00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:06,559 Speaker 3: five wide receivers where we'll probably hear a ram here 257 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,640 Speaker 3: sooner rather than later. 258 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,040 Speaker 1: Let's do it right off the jump. Pouka Nakua with 259 00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,880 Speaker 1: that ridiculous effort the last time out, he's one point 260 00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:17,720 Speaker 1: behind JSN now for the top spot overall, only one 261 00:12:17,800 --> 00:12:21,959 Speaker 1: single digit game that he's completed all year long, So 262 00:12:22,360 --> 00:12:25,160 Speaker 1: set it and forget it. Ronco product number two Jamar 263 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:29,000 Speaker 1: Chase going against Arizona Arizona. He's basically calling out Joe Burrow, 264 00:12:29,040 --> 00:12:31,880 Speaker 1: saying I need a touchdown because he hasn't scored since 265 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,880 Speaker 1: forever what October sixteenth, I think was his last touchdown. 266 00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:39,280 Speaker 4: It's been a while, yes, that's for sure. 267 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,280 Speaker 1: So trying to find himself some love and over the 268 00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,640 Speaker 1: last you got an Arizona team giving up a nearly 269 00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,160 Speaker 1: thirty points a game to wide receivers. How about Mike 270 00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:49,240 Speaker 1: Evan's going against Miami. Last couple of games, he's been 271 00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:52,720 Speaker 1: fairly quiet, Miami defense showing up a little bit down 272 00:12:52,800 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: the stretch, but this is one where they just need 273 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:58,840 Speaker 1: to leave everything on the field as they battle for 274 00:12:58,880 --> 00:13:01,920 Speaker 1: that NFCCI title. And I'm looking for Mike Evans, who's 275 00:13:01,960 --> 00:13:05,200 Speaker 1: done his part, you know, just a matter of finishing 276 00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: things in the red zone. And then let's go to 277 00:13:07,960 --> 00:13:11,840 Speaker 1: an old favorite who's risen up very quietly in half 278 00:13:11,880 --> 00:13:15,839 Speaker 1: PPR Leagus. He's now sixed after a couple of monster games, 279 00:13:15,840 --> 00:13:18,559 Speaker 1: and that's Chris Olave. Going up against Tennessee. He's got 280 00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:21,520 Speaker 1: five games with fifteen plus last two games, nearly fifty 281 00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:27,400 Speaker 1: points overall in Tennessee, seventh most receiving yards allowed, opportunity knocks, 282 00:13:27,400 --> 00:13:30,160 Speaker 1: and then no top five is complete without JSN to 283 00:13:30,200 --> 00:13:34,520 Speaker 1: round it off. Going up against Carolina, he's first overall. Look, 284 00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,320 Speaker 1: he's got one game with fewer than eleven points all year, sir. 285 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: In terms of floors, this is pretty high. 286 00:13:40,400 --> 00:13:43,200 Speaker 3: A couple of names that are missing because the Cowboys 287 00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,800 Speaker 3: played yesterday. We'd sometimes have a Pickens or a Lamb 288 00:13:46,280 --> 00:13:48,360 Speaker 3: in the in the rankings, and they're already off the 289 00:13:48,360 --> 00:13:52,920 Speaker 3: board with their futrid performance that they had in everybody 290 00:13:52,960 --> 00:13:58,640 Speaker 3: else scoring for us. My goodness, it was it was bad. 291 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,640 Speaker 3: It was it was ever buddy. 292 00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:02,840 Speaker 1: Right, I mean, because Dak Prescott's numbers, You're like, okay, 293 00:14:02,920 --> 00:14:04,920 Speaker 1: what do we got? And then you start going in 294 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,960 Speaker 1: deeper into the play by play and the boxer. 295 00:14:07,720 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 4: Going Ferguson like, what, yeah, let's turp in. 296 00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:13,880 Speaker 1: With the eighty six yard He had one catch eighty 297 00:14:13,920 --> 00:14:16,680 Speaker 1: six yards, but he got part of that steak though. 298 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:19,280 Speaker 1: You got one of those tomahawks. 299 00:14:18,720 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 3: That didn't even look the Netflix didn't even look that appealing. 300 00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:24,040 Speaker 3: Like the branding that they did was terrible. 301 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:26,160 Speaker 1: Yes, it also looked like a Northwestern end. 302 00:14:26,280 --> 00:14:29,080 Speaker 5: They did everything they could to just try and trick 303 00:14:29,120 --> 00:14:32,400 Speaker 5: everyone into like making it feel like some huge event, 304 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:34,280 Speaker 5: and it was just like, we all know what's going on. 305 00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:36,280 Speaker 6: These games are meaningless, and that's what they were. 306 00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:39,480 Speaker 1: It was just get in there and sell, sell, sell. 307 00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 5: Right like that the halftime performance with all the they 308 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:45,120 Speaker 5: brought in, like you know, a country singer and what's 309 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,760 Speaker 5: her name, Andrea. 310 00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:52,400 Speaker 1: Andrea Bolli Son snoop. You had Duck Hodges riding in 311 00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:55,840 Speaker 1: the sleigh with Landy Wilson who was his fiance age 312 00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:56,640 Speaker 1: one of the. 313 00:14:56,600 --> 00:14:57,720 Speaker 4: He I can't remember what game. 314 00:14:57,760 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 3: I had to go and repair repair a Christmas light 315 00:15:00,080 --> 00:15:02,720 Speaker 3: outside because half the string went out. Oh yeah, that's 316 00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 3: what part of my Christmas Day was. So it's the 317 00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:07,360 Speaker 3: way it goes.

Mike, who didn't make the rankings, but guys, 333 00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:51,040 Speaker 3: you got to get in your lineup. 334 00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 1: Seems like we got an opportunity here in that Sunday 335 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 1: Night affair of Chicago San Francisco over under sitting at 336 00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 1: fifty two and a half. So we got both Caleb 337 00:15:58,320 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 1: Williams and Brock Purty up on the list. As I say, 338 00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:04,520 Speaker 1: the cautionary because everybody gets excited about the Bears and 339 00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,160 Speaker 1: the takeaways like they let you move the ball, and 340 00:16:07,200 --> 00:16:09,920 Speaker 1: then with San Francisco good enough to finish the job. 341 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:13,120 Speaker 1: As we mentioned before, Kittle still a question of whether 342 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,160 Speaker 1: he'll be available one of those game time, but certainly 343 00:16:16,160 --> 00:16:18,960 Speaker 1: not at practice. But for Purdy, you're talking about a 344 00:16:18,960 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: guy averaging nearly twenty one fantasy points per game. For Caleb, 345 00:16:23,160 --> 00:16:27,120 Speaker 1: he's been fantastic eleven games with at least fifteen Fantasy points, 346 00:16:27,120 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 1: so that floor has certainly risen over time. And the 347 00:16:30,360 --> 00:16:32,680 Speaker 1: fact that he's not pulling up sacks, which I know 348 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 1: some leagues have taken those out and don't count them 349 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:38,800 Speaker 1: against the quarterback, but others do. You talk about interceptions 350 00:16:38,840 --> 00:16:42,680 Speaker 1: that don't happen, So it's all positivity there. Jacoby Brisset 351 00:16:42,800 --> 00:16:47,680 Speaker 1: against Cincinnati, I mean Cincinnati eleven point six last week. 352 00:16:48,280 --> 00:16:50,320 Speaker 1: He might have sent you home if you started perset, 353 00:16:50,480 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 1: but otherwise for fantasy purposes, he's been fantastic. Back to 354 00:16:53,240 --> 00:16:56,240 Speaker 1: that Bears game. Juwan Jennings touchdowns in six of his 355 00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,760 Speaker 1: last seven games, So opportunists in the red zone we 356 00:16:59,800 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 1: got are going up against Miami still rolling three games 357 00:17:04,040 --> 00:17:06,200 Speaker 1: greater than fifteen is last seven, so it's been a 358 00:17:06,240 --> 00:17:09,000 Speaker 1: little bit choppy, but an opportunity. How about Ashton genty 359 00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,600 Speaker 1: Do we dare put him after his. 360 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:11,919 Speaker 4: Big game got him out right? 361 00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: I mean we kind of have to thirty one at 362 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 1: point three the monster week, his first really big effort 363 00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:20,879 Speaker 1: a while. But he's only got five games of at 364 00:17:20,960 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 1: least fifteen yards fifteen points, I should say felt like 365 00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:27,679 Speaker 1: fifteen yards at times. Five games of at least fifteen 366 00:17:27,720 --> 00:17:30,959 Speaker 1: points on the year, two with over thirty giants third worst. 367 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:34,040 Speaker 1: The only thing I fear is this going to be 368 00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,200 Speaker 1: like that old electric football game where guys just kind 369 00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:38,280 Speaker 1: of fall down on a field, because that seems like 370 00:17:38,280 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 1: where we're going with guys being deactivated and pushed out 371 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,400 Speaker 1: and whatever. No, you take the ball, No, you take 372 00:17:44,440 --> 00:17:47,240 Speaker 1: the ball. Kenneth Gaywell against Cleveland one of the great 373 00:17:47,320 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 1: viral clips of the week, Aaron Rodgers going go that way, 374 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:52,720 Speaker 1: go run that route. Thirteen point two or better. Four 375 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,680 Speaker 1: of his last five games been active in the passing game, 376 00:17:55,760 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 1: So an opportunity here against Cleveland, trying to back off 377 00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:00,880 Speaker 1: that pass rush. Eight chan going to again Tampa. He's 378 00:18:00,920 --> 00:18:04,359 Speaker 1: died for fifth best in the National Football League for 379 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,480 Speaker 1: you this year eighteen point four points. Per game for 380 00:18:07,600 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. They've given up two thousand total yards and 381 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 1: fourteen touchdowns to running backs. Tony Pollard might not get 382 00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,119 Speaker 1: you that high ceiling, but they're giving him the ball 383 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 1: with great regularity, three straight one hundred yard games, a 384 00:18:19,920 --> 00:18:21,960 Speaker 1: little more out of the passing game as well, going 385 00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,720 Speaker 1: up in that divisional battle, Jacoby Myers going up against Indy. 386 00:18:27,280 --> 00:18:31,040 Speaker 1: If you want to take a shot there. His ceiling 387 00:18:31,200 --> 00:18:33,919 Speaker 1: has been neutered a little bit these last couple of weeks, 388 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,840 Speaker 1: but they paid him. If only you got points for blocking. 389 00:18:37,280 --> 00:18:39,879 Speaker 1: And then back to that Giants Vegas game. Little Wandell 390 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:44,640 Speaker 1: Robinson low space last week, but a guy, the targets 391 00:18:44,680 --> 00:18:46,239 Speaker 1: are going to be there in the opportunity and all 392 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,359 Speaker 1: it takes is one slip tackle and away we go. 393 00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:51,399 Speaker 3: The story with that Raiders Giants game is the Max 394 00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:55,399 Speaker 3: Crosby apparent walkout after being told he wasn't going to play. 395 00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: I thought that if you wanted to play, you should 396 00:18:58,840 --> 00:18:59,639 Speaker 3: stay in the building. 397 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 4: You don't leave. 398 00:19:00,760 --> 00:19:02,960 Speaker 3: That's what they wanted you to do, So that's that 399 00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 3: was my only advice to Max Crosby is he should 400 00:19:05,520 --> 00:19:09,080 Speaker 3: have done the radio station sit in those fake promos 401 00:19:09,119 --> 00:19:11,480 Speaker 3: where a guy locks himself into a studio for twenty 402 00:19:11,520 --> 00:19:14,639 Speaker 3: four hours, which is completely planned to buy management. But 403 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:16,840 Speaker 3: that's what you should have done, Max Crosby. You don't 404 00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 3: storm out and leave when they tell you're not going 405 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:21,080 Speaker 3: to play. You make them play you by not leaving 406 00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 3: at all and just being there all the time. 407 00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:27,200 Speaker 1: I one hundred agree, right right, make it about make 408 00:19:27,280 --> 00:19:28,440 Speaker 1: it the stare down. 409 00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:31,320 Speaker 4: Yes, and don't mind I'm not going anywhere, but don't. 410 00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:33,680 Speaker 1: Give it any any error by it while you left 411 00:19:33,720 --> 00:19:34,159 Speaker 1: the building. 412 00:19:34,280 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 4: Yeah, you made us a game check. At least let 413 00:19:36,560 --> 00:19:36,960 Speaker 4: him pay you. 414 00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: That's it, right, It's like, all right, we're still gonna 415 00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:41,240 Speaker 1: pay you the last two weeks. Now you can say, well, 416 00:19:41,240 --> 00:19:43,240 Speaker 1: you left and he, you know, caused a ruckus. 417 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:46,720 Speaker 5: As admirable as it is, though, like that he that 418 00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 5: he wants to play that badly, I just feel like 419 00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 5: the fact that he would not even understand why they 420 00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,640 Speaker 5: could ask him such a thing, Like it's they're they're 421 00:19:55,680 --> 00:19:57,919 Speaker 5: losing and they're trying to tank and obviously, like you 422 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 5: don't have to agree with that decision, but to just 423 00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,520 Speaker 5: not understand at all why they would want to sit 424 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,919 Speaker 5: their best player, like easily their best player and not 425 00:20:05,920 --> 00:20:08,520 Speaker 5: want to risk any injury, Like come on, yeah, I 426 00:20:08,560 --> 00:20:11,800 Speaker 5: mean he addressed anything the media session earlier in the 427 00:20:11,800 --> 00:20:12,639 Speaker 5: week and he's like, I don't. 428 00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: Care about draft picks. I just played football. 429 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:18,400 Speaker 5: No, it's true and that and maybe the tank part 430 00:20:18,440 --> 00:20:21,560 Speaker 5: is irrelevant, but the point is, like it just plenty 431 00:20:21,600 --> 00:20:23,639 Speaker 5: of teams across the league are sitting their best players 432 00:20:23,680 --> 00:20:24,520 Speaker 5: because they know that they. 433 00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,040 Speaker 6: Aren't playing for anything at this point. Yeah, in terms 434 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:27,720 Speaker 6: of like whether it. 435 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,560 Speaker 5: Be injury, tanking, whatever, the point is, it's a pretty 436 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 5: valid strategy right now. So for him to just get 437 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:35,800 Speaker 5: so mad, storm out of the building and like, you know, 438 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:38,080 Speaker 5: just in complete disbelief, it's just a. 439 00:20:38,080 --> 00:20:40,440 Speaker 6: Little weird to me. But still, I mean admirable that 440 00:20:40,480 --> 00:20:41,040 Speaker 6: he wants to play. 441 00:20:41,160 --> 00:20:43,480 Speaker 1: That's yeah, it's hard. That pride thing comes with you, 442 00:20:43,560 --> 00:20:46,920 Speaker 1: right of if I'm physically able to play and they 443 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: tell me I'm not, because certainly these guys miss plenty 444 00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,840 Speaker 1: of game or play plenty of games where they feel 445 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,600 Speaker 1: absolutely miserable. And if he's gutted it out to this point, 446 00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:56,240 Speaker 1: he's like, can I just finish my job? 447 00:20:56,359 --> 00:21:00,360 Speaker 3: Yeah, play against the crappy Giants exactly. Maybe a win 448 00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:03,119 Speaker 3: that I haven't felt many of these throughout the days. 449 00:21:03,400 --> 00:21:05,200 Speaker 1: Maybe I get a sack, yes. 450 00:21:06,480 --> 00:21:11,800 Speaker 3: Yes, right please and against the Chiefs the final week, 451 00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 3: Chiefs coming to town without Patrick Mahomes like there's another 452 00:21:15,119 --> 00:21:16,240 Speaker 3: opportunity to the feast. 453 00:21:16,520 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. 454 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 5: I mean he probably feels slighted then, because it's like 455 00:21:19,160 --> 00:21:21,399 Speaker 5: he's sitting here licking his chops for the amount of 456 00:21:21,400 --> 00:21:23,920 Speaker 5: sex get and they're telling him no, Well, you at least. 457 00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,960 Speaker 1: Can get something out of the year, right if you 458 00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,400 Speaker 1: pile up against Oldadok and you know Jackson Dart who 459 00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:32,399 Speaker 1: runs into sacks. 460 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:34,879 Speaker 4: I'll just say this before we get to the cold source. 461 00:21:35,440 --> 00:21:38,040 Speaker 3: If you can't figure out a way to make it 462 00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 3: work where it would be like limited snaps or pass 463 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:45,920 Speaker 3: rushing situations, then it's much more than just Max Crosby 464 00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:48,440 Speaker 3: wanting to play, which is I think what Ian said 465 00:21:48,480 --> 00:21:51,880 Speaker 3: and what you guys said, it's it's the tanking aspect 466 00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,719 Speaker 3: of it. It's the possible trade aspect of it, and 467 00:21:54,760 --> 00:21:57,639 Speaker 3: that's ultimately what it is. So Max Crosby may be 468 00:21:57,760 --> 00:21:59,399 Speaker 3: mad with all of that, but he also may be 469 00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:01,359 Speaker 3: mad that he actually things he think he could be 470 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:03,160 Speaker 3: on the chopping block or on the trading block. 471 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:05,440 Speaker 4: I should say, not chopping block, but the trading block. 472 00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:08,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, finds himself into greener pastures. Maybe there's a win 473 00:22:08,560 --> 00:22:09,280 Speaker 1: in his future. 474 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:10,760 Speaker 4: Let's get to the cold source Mike. 475 00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:14,200 Speaker 1: For Week seventeen, Sam Donald going amainst Carolina just from 476 00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:17,040 Speaker 1: a I don't know what to expect. I don't know 477 00:22:17,080 --> 00:22:19,080 Speaker 1: where the ceiling or floors. Maybe you got a better 478 00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:21,920 Speaker 1: read on this game. But Carolina's defense has played pretty well. 479 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, they SEAHORKX played some funky games in the past. 480 00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:26,879 Speaker 3: And this has nothing to do with Mike McDonald or 481 00:22:26,920 --> 00:22:30,119 Speaker 3: Sam donald, but they've had some funky games in Carolina, 482 00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,840 Speaker 3: some low scoring affairs. They don't seem to be bothered 483 00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,000 Speaker 3: by the one o'clock Eastern time starts. They've been played 484 00:22:35,119 --> 00:22:39,120 Speaker 3: very well in that scenario. But you wonder on how 485 00:22:39,200 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 3: much the last game took out of him. And even 486 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:44,439 Speaker 3: though it was on a Thursday that went against the Rams, 487 00:22:44,520 --> 00:22:47,840 Speaker 3: was huge, it wouldn't shock me with an emotional letdown 488 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: because next week San Francisco's on the horizon. 489 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:53,240 Speaker 1: Yeah, three games with Gray over his last seven, three 490 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,040 Speaker 1: games over seventeen points, three games with eight point three 491 00:22:56,119 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: or fewer. So for Championship week, perhaps in no Goo. 492 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,240 Speaker 1: Baker Field going against Miami. I know we had Evans 493 00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: as one of our plays. Why because you can still 494 00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: rack up targets, receptions and yardage, but not necessarily find 495 00:23:09,600 --> 00:23:11,640 Speaker 1: the house. And we have no for Baker Mayfield after 496 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,600 Speaker 1: all those early season heroics. It's been tough sledding, which 497 00:23:14,640 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: is why we take Bucky Irving with him not getting 498 00:23:17,359 --> 00:23:19,360 Speaker 1: a lot out of the passing game, right, That's where 499 00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:21,280 Speaker 1: he made his hay early in the season. Since he's 500 00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:24,400 Speaker 1: come back, has been a bystander, oftentimes back to back 501 00:23:24,480 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: duds with fewer than eight Fantasy points. 502 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: Yeah, they've got a three headed monster because they put 503 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,960 Speaker 3: Tucker in at the goal line and Rashade White still 504 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:31,680 Speaker 3: getting snaps. 505 00:23:31,880 --> 00:23:35,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, so an absolute mess. Jonathan Taylor going up against Jacksonville. 506 00:23:35,119 --> 00:23:39,200 Speaker 1: Last big game came before the bye, right, that forty 507 00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:43,280 Speaker 1: eight point performance. We've watched him struggle fifteen point four 508 00:23:43,280 --> 00:23:45,639 Speaker 1: and Week sixteen was his best in five weeks. 509 00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,919 Speaker 4: That game was in Germany, exactly. Yes, what's the falcon 510 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,800 Speaker 4: in Germany? 511 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,960 Speaker 1: You should do the rest of the podcast like you're 512 00:23:56,040 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 1: channeling your inner Zemo from the falcon and inter soldier again. 513 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:04,679 Speaker 4: The Arizona Cardinal German fans are my inspiration. 514 00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:08,640 Speaker 3: Them and Trey McBride, as they would say, her eyes 515 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:09,760 Speaker 3: up at sea. 516 00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: I love that Taylor has been active in the passing game, 517 00:24:14,119 --> 00:24:16,200 Speaker 1: So maybe you get a little bit of a salvation there, 518 00:24:16,480 --> 00:24:19,359 Speaker 1: but I'm not banking on it. Kyron Williams, it's the 519 00:24:19,480 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: ceiling lower because Blake Koram has been running the ball 520 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,440 Speaker 1: really well and keeps showing up at the goal line. 521 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,560 Speaker 1: Josh Jacob's going against Baltimore. I think Malik Willis will 522 00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:29,639 Speaker 1: out rush him this week. 523 00:24:30,760 --> 00:24:32,320 Speaker 4: Interesting about that for a little while now. 524 00:24:32,640 --> 00:24:36,000 Speaker 1: Not to mention, you've got his backup. Wilson's been running 525 00:24:36,000 --> 00:24:39,560 Speaker 1: the ball well when he's a playable Jacobs has shots 526 00:24:39,640 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 1: for his knee. There's a lot going on there. 527 00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,359 Speaker 3: And again a team who's seating is pretty much determined 528 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:47,400 Speaker 3: already for them, so what's more. 529 00:24:47,240 --> 00:24:48,239 Speaker 4: To play for? There? You go. 530 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:51,480 Speaker 1: Drake London going up against the Rams four point two 531 00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:54,720 Speaker 1: points in his return to the field. Again, this is 532 00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:57,640 Speaker 1: you'll probably find him as a back end wide out too. 533 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:02,080 Speaker 1: I'm not loving it. Collins going up against the Chargers. 534 00:25:02,080 --> 00:25:04,600 Speaker 1: This one's interesting. Right when you look at this, you 535 00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: take him, you take Justin Herbert who might have been 536 00:25:07,440 --> 00:25:10,040 Speaker 1: finding his way back up into your back end ones. 537 00:25:10,280 --> 00:25:13,160 Speaker 1: I think both of those. I think that's a defensive struggle. 538 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,800 Speaker 1: You're going to be there, right, yes, so you can 539 00:25:15,840 --> 00:25:17,520 Speaker 1: watch those defenses run them up. 540 00:25:17,720 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 3: Yes, I expect a nineteen to sixteen ball game battle 541 00:25:22,400 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 3: of dicker versus fairbairn. I love it coming up on 542 00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:29,560 Speaker 3: that right. I think four field goals each from each kicker. 543 00:25:29,720 --> 00:25:32,520 Speaker 1: I dig that Ted McMillan, the last guy put on 544 00:25:32,520 --> 00:25:34,760 Speaker 1: the list, going up against Seattle six for ten seventy 545 00:25:34,760 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: three to score the last time out touchdowns four of 546 00:25:37,119 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 1: five this one again, going up against that secondary. They 547 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:42,440 Speaker 1: may be able to try to feed him the ball. 548 00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:44,119 Speaker 1: I do not think they will be successful. 549 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:46,280 Speaker 3: All right, Let's get to the Ninjas, Mike, the sneaky 550 00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 3: plays for week seventeen. They may not be in the 551 00:25:49,040 --> 00:25:51,200 Speaker 3: top five rankings. They may not be a hot play, 552 00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:53,399 Speaker 3: but maybe you should play him when it matters the 553 00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:53,760 Speaker 3: most too. 554 00:25:53,800 --> 00:25:56,000 Speaker 1: You got let's run him quick. We got Tyler Shuck 555 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:58,240 Speaker 1: who finds his way here all the time. Seventeen plus 556 00:25:58,240 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: and four straight for fantasy owners. He and Alave finding 557 00:26:01,280 --> 00:26:04,000 Speaker 1: something big. Philip Rivers going up against Jacksonville had his 558 00:26:04,040 --> 00:26:07,959 Speaker 1: eighteen points last week. Jacksonville give him about seventeen points 559 00:26:07,960 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 1: per game. This more is the Christmas wish. Like Carol 560 00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: Brady garting her voice back to singing Church. Kirk, Yeah, 561 00:26:14,840 --> 00:26:19,440 Speaker 1: I'm bold. Kirk Cousin's going up against the Rams, winging around. 562 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,800 Speaker 1: Kyle Pitts has been great of late. Tyrone Tracy going 563 00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:25,760 Speaker 1: up against the Las Vegas ran thirty seven touches the 564 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:29,560 Speaker 1: last two games, Ramandre Stevenson because still no sign of 565 00:26:29,600 --> 00:26:32,080 Speaker 1: Trey Van Henderson at practice. They've got a lot of 566 00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,600 Speaker 1: guys hurt, and again when we're talking about seating in battles, 567 00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: they still have something to work to, but a lot 568 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:42,080 Speaker 1: of injuries besetting things. Manungay going up against San Francisco 569 00:26:42,400 --> 00:26:45,520 Speaker 1: talking about touches, twelve plus touches in five straight. All 570 00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 1: I'm looking for is opportunity here. Marvis Harrison Junior going 571 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,800 Speaker 1: up against Cincinnati. Quiet return, but clearly they want to 572 00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,520 Speaker 1: feed him the ball now that he's back on the field. 573 00:26:54,840 --> 00:26:57,119 Speaker 1: And night Mitchell going up against the Jets nine for 574 00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,399 Speaker 1: fifteen with one hundred and one yards and a score 575 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:04,320 Speaker 1: in his last two Let's go Mitchell, my pushing two hard. 576 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:06,119 Speaker 1: He is looking at me like I'm nuts, and I 577 00:27:06,119 --> 00:27:10,359 Speaker 1: wanted to Mumpfield going up against Atlanta DeVante Adams still 578 00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:13,879 Speaker 1: probably not going this week, which means we get Mumpfield 579 00:27:13,920 --> 00:27:16,880 Speaker 1: three catches on his eight targets forty yards. And then 580 00:27:17,119 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: if you really want to get freaky, whether you're in 581 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,240 Speaker 1: a one week kind of consolation bracket one week game, 582 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:29,119 Speaker 1: this is where Taysom Hill after his big game last week, sure, 583 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,320 Speaker 1: and he's been running the ball a bunch of late, 584 00:27:31,400 --> 00:27:35,439 Speaker 1: right we talk about the touches per game have actually 585 00:27:35,480 --> 00:27:38,440 Speaker 1: been up these last couple of weeks. So maybe it's 586 00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:40,639 Speaker 1: just a hey, let's send you out with a bang, 587 00:27:40,960 --> 00:27:43,720 Speaker 1: but thirty eight yard touchdown mats. People are making Hall 588 00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:45,479 Speaker 1: of Fame arguments, which is great. I want to give 589 00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,480 Speaker 1: them all a big hug because Taysom Hill was a 590 00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,680 Speaker 1: frequent guest of the show when we'd have a stringer 591 00:27:50,160 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: Jason Smith, and I was like, who do you got? 592 00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,600 Speaker 1: We got Taysom Bill, Taysoon welcome back. So maybe he 593 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:58,119 Speaker 1: goes out with a bang one last time, but a 594 00:27:58,160 --> 00:27:59,280 Speaker 1: spot here against. 595 00:27:59,040 --> 00:28:01,760 Speaker 3: Tennessee there it is you're a hot plays cold sores 596 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,640 Speaker 3: and Ninja's four week seventeen heating up where Ian Roddy's 597 00:28:05,640 --> 00:28:09,560 Speaker 3: streaming defense is. It's an interesting week for Survivor when 598 00:28:09,600 --> 00:28:11,880 Speaker 3: things are really coming down the stretch. We'll dive into 599 00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:14,880 Speaker 3: that plus level points of palooza. He's Mike Carmon, that's 600 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,320 Speaker 3: Ian Roddy. I'm Dan Byer. It's all next tier on. 601 00:28:17,359 --> 00:28:22,000 Speaker 3: I want your flex before we get to the Survivor 602 00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:25,280 Speaker 3: and points of Palooza. Ian Roddy is at the plate 603 00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 3: with the streaming defenses for week seventeen. 604 00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:30,840 Speaker 5: Okay, guys, so we'll start with the New Orleans Saints. 605 00:28:30,840 --> 00:28:33,800 Speaker 5: They're forty nine percent rostered in ESPN leagues when I 606 00:28:33,880 --> 00:28:34,840 Speaker 5: checked earlier today. 607 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:37,880 Speaker 4: It's probably that high because they had the Jets last week. 608 00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:42,160 Speaker 6: Yeah right, exactly, truly, yeah, so exactly. 609 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:44,280 Speaker 5: That's a good transition because they were the top overall 610 00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,719 Speaker 5: defense last week against the Jets. They got eight sacks 611 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:50,040 Speaker 5: and two turnovers against Brady Cook and co. So yeah, 612 00:28:50,360 --> 00:28:52,680 Speaker 5: coming off a hot performance, this week, they're playing Cam 613 00:28:52,720 --> 00:28:55,200 Speaker 5: Ward and the Titans, so good a good matchup to 614 00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:58,280 Speaker 5: follow it up. Obviously, it's a you know, they're better 615 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:00,760 Speaker 5: than Brady Cook and the Jets, but still exploitable. As 616 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:04,080 Speaker 5: we know, Ward's been better over the past few weeks, 617 00:29:04,080 --> 00:29:07,240 Speaker 5: but it's been against the spiraling Chiefs and the very 618 00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:09,560 Speaker 5: very injured forty nine ers, so I think this Saints 619 00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:12,240 Speaker 5: defense is still a step above those teams and still 620 00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:15,360 Speaker 5: a viable play here against cam Ward. And then the 621 00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,080 Speaker 5: other one I got for you is the New York 622 00:29:17,120 --> 00:29:19,960 Speaker 5: Giants twenty nine percent rostered in ESPN leagues. 623 00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:21,160 Speaker 6: They were the second. 624 00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:23,240 Speaker 5: Highest scoring defense last week, so I'm giving you just 625 00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,080 Speaker 5: the two that were last week's top two. But it 626 00:29:27,120 --> 00:29:29,160 Speaker 5: was a good matchup for them last week against the Vikings. 627 00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:31,360 Speaker 5: This week they're playing against Gino Smith and the Raiders, 628 00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:34,400 Speaker 5: so maybe an even better matchup, but doubling down. Yeah, 629 00:29:34,440 --> 00:29:36,240 Speaker 5: And as we've been talking about it in the show though, 630 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:39,000 Speaker 5: this is like the Tank Bowl right now, so both 631 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 5: teams don't seem to be trying very. 632 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,440 Speaker 6: Hard to win. 633 00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 5: But Gino is the most sacked quarterback in the entire 634 00:29:44,280 --> 00:29:46,320 Speaker 5: NFL to this point in the season. He's taken three 635 00:29:46,440 --> 00:29:49,160 Speaker 5: or more in seven straight games. And the Giants have 636 00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:51,680 Speaker 5: dudes up front who can get home, so I expect them. 637 00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,000 Speaker 3: To do that they that they do, this will be 638 00:29:54,000 --> 00:29:57,520 Speaker 3: an interesting matchup. Again for those that don't know, the 639 00:29:57,560 --> 00:29:59,440 Speaker 3: first overall pick if there would be a time between 640 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:01,320 Speaker 3: the Raiders and it actually wouldn't go to their head 641 00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:03,520 Speaker 3: to head matchup, it would go to their strength of schedule. 642 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:06,720 Speaker 3: But whoever wins this game because they have the two 643 00:30:06,760 --> 00:30:09,120 Speaker 3: worst records in the National Football League, really has a 644 00:30:09,200 --> 00:30:11,640 Speaker 3: leg up on the other entering the final week, where 645 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:15,120 Speaker 3: we expect both teams to lose. However, if the Raiders 646 00:30:15,160 --> 00:30:18,880 Speaker 3: were to lose this with a wounded Chiefs team coming 647 00:30:18,880 --> 00:30:22,160 Speaker 3: to town, we've seen stranger things happen where maybe you 648 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:24,640 Speaker 3: win and then take yourself out of it. But that 649 00:30:24,680 --> 00:30:26,160 Speaker 3: could be a scenario for the Raiders. 650 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,040 Speaker 1: They did do a handshake and save everybody three hours 651 00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,400 Speaker 1: by just agreeing to a tie. Hey, let's hit the tables. 652 00:30:32,760 --> 00:30:36,640 Speaker 3: Uh remember remember Raiders charging? Remember Raiders Chargers? Like that 653 00:30:36,760 --> 00:30:38,480 Speaker 3: was the thought that people are like, should they should 654 00:30:38,480 --> 00:30:41,200 Speaker 3: just tie? And it's like, well, that would be against 655 00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:44,080 Speaker 3: every fiber of the being of the National Football League, 656 00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,840 Speaker 3: and thank goodness that didn't happen. All right, So a 657 00:30:46,840 --> 00:30:49,959 Speaker 3: lot of Saints and Giants talked with this game, and 658 00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:53,360 Speaker 3: that leads us to the survivor side of things, because 659 00:30:53,800 --> 00:30:57,200 Speaker 3: when you have if you've made it this far, the 660 00:30:57,400 --> 00:31:00,480 Speaker 3: likelihood is this. You probably have a couple of teams 661 00:31:00,520 --> 00:31:03,520 Speaker 3: if you didn't have double up weeks, but the Bears 662 00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:05,600 Speaker 3: could be a team that would be available. But you're 663 00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:07,680 Speaker 3: not gonna pick the Bears on the road in San Francisco. 664 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:10,719 Speaker 3: It's just they may win that game. You might as 665 00:31:10,800 --> 00:31:14,800 Speaker 3: well take your opportunity with the Saints and Titans, or 666 00:31:14,960 --> 00:31:17,760 Speaker 3: with the Giants and Raiders. And while Ian's on the 667 00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:21,400 Speaker 3: Saints and Giants for streaming defenses, I'm on the Titans 668 00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:26,520 Speaker 3: and Raiders for survivor just because of being home. I'm 669 00:31:26,560 --> 00:31:29,360 Speaker 3: gonna take the opposite way of that. Saints are a 670 00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 3: better team than the Titans, but I feel the Titans 671 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 3: have at least played better football, and they're they're bound 672 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:38,000 Speaker 3: to get a home nice win to send them off 673 00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:40,440 Speaker 3: for the season before they find out who their next 674 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:44,080 Speaker 3: head coach is. And I love how the Saints have played, guys, 675 00:31:44,880 --> 00:31:47,000 Speaker 3: but I just don't think they're a six win team. 676 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:50,880 Speaker 3: So they're at five and ten right now, and maybe 677 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:52,600 Speaker 3: they are, maybe they're gonna prove me wrong, but they're 678 00:31:52,680 --> 00:31:55,120 Speaker 3: dropping further in the draft, something that they shouldn't do 679 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,040 Speaker 3: because of how well they're playing right now. 680 00:31:57,040 --> 00:31:59,320 Speaker 1: That was kind of interesting, right, because we have the 681 00:31:59,360 --> 00:32:01,640 Speaker 1: board that you it up every year and it's like, 682 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 1: all right, we can come back to the same thing. 683 00:32:03,800 --> 00:32:05,960 Speaker 1: It's like, all right, the Browns will be bad, these 684 00:32:05,960 --> 00:32:08,560 Speaker 1: guys will be bad. And for the Saints it became 685 00:32:08,600 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 1: a get a couple of good parts, right Russell lave 686 00:32:12,800 --> 00:32:14,760 Speaker 1: As you well know going back to his college days. 687 00:32:14,920 --> 00:32:17,840 Speaker 1: It's a top five guy with someone throwing them the ball, 688 00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:19,760 Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they're just screwing around 689 00:32:19,840 --> 00:32:22,440 Speaker 1: and finding wins down the stretch here. 690 00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:26,040 Speaker 4: It's remarkable too. Alvin Kamara has been playing. 691 00:32:26,120 --> 00:32:29,719 Speaker 3: Devin Niel's out the Kenry Miller was lost for the season, 692 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:32,240 Speaker 3: so they've been able to piece this together thanks apart 693 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:35,360 Speaker 3: to one of your ninjas, Tyler Shook points of palooza. 694 00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,080 Speaker 3: I don't mean to whoos out guys, but I just 695 00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 3: think Cardinals Bengals could be a lot of fun. It's 696 00:32:41,240 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 3: up there fifty three and a half and now I 697 00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:45,920 Speaker 3: think it's overtaken for the Bears. Niners was up there, 698 00:32:45,960 --> 00:32:49,480 Speaker 3: I think like you mentioned as well, but yeah, that's 699 00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,080 Speaker 3: the one that I like. If there was one that 700 00:32:52,160 --> 00:32:54,720 Speaker 3: could get a little fun, could get a little frisky, 701 00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 3: could be that Monday nighter. As you said, with the 702 00:32:57,520 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 3: Rams and Falcons, maybe there is a send off and 703 00:33:00,200 --> 00:33:03,280 Speaker 3: the controlled elements of Atlanta, But give me Cards Bengals. 704 00:33:03,280 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 4: I'll just take the easy way out. Week seventeen. 705 00:33:05,480 --> 00:33:07,880 Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know what, that's a game that normally 706 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:11,720 Speaker 1: folks wouldn't care about, but for fantasy purposes. Yeah, there 707 00:33:11,800 --> 00:33:15,160 Speaker 1: is so much going on there. Old quarterbacks, all those 708 00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:19,760 Speaker 1: wide outs, the running back position. Certainly on the Cardinals side, 709 00:33:20,040 --> 00:33:22,640 Speaker 1: you've rolled the dungeons and dragons die to figure out 710 00:33:22,680 --> 00:33:25,480 Speaker 1: who's got touches. But yeah, I mean that one's gonna 711 00:33:25,480 --> 00:33:26,560 Speaker 1: be a fun game to watch. 712 00:33:26,680 --> 00:33:29,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, it should absolutely be fun. So here's the deal. 713 00:33:29,080 --> 00:33:31,840 Speaker 3: So this is our Week seventeen preview. Week eighteen. We 714 00:33:31,920 --> 00:33:33,880 Speaker 3: know a lot of leagues are done and wrapped up 715 00:33:33,880 --> 00:33:36,240 Speaker 3: by then. What we'll do is we'll have a recap 716 00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 3: episode for you on Monday, and then we'll also have 717 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 3: a version of a rankings episode at the end of 718 00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:43,480 Speaker 3: the week. There will be no mid week episode coming 719 00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:47,120 Speaker 3: up next week. There's no Thursday games. Everybody's playing on Sunday, 720 00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,400 Speaker 3: so it's just easier to settle in and you can 721 00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:52,040 Speaker 3: enjoy your New Year's that way. But We will be 722 00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:55,160 Speaker 3: back to talk to you after Week seventeen, plus we'll 723 00:33:55,160 --> 00:33:57,560 Speaker 3: have postseason episodes as well, going all the way through 724 00:33:57,560 --> 00:33:59,760 Speaker 3: the Super Bowl and even a couple of weeks after 725 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,920 Speaker 3: that as we prep he for the twenty twenty six 726 00:34:02,320 --> 00:34:05,720 Speaker 3: fantasy season.
