This time the focus was Shady McCoy and 0:02:40.960 --> 0:02:44.239 what the work he did in the snow. We also 0:02:44.280 --> 0:02:46.399 got my man Chris Pavona down there on the ones 0:02:46.440 --> 0:02:51.600 in twos keeping it.

We also have to celebrate 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:07.440 the third crazy night. You know, guys on the YouTube stream, 0:05:07.720 --> 0:05:10.320 let me know how I do. I got mixed reviews 0:05:10.920 --> 0:05:13.719 last night. So here we go. Here we go for 0:05:13.720 --> 0:05:18.880 the third night of Hanukkah. Baroka dounai lu me how 0:05:18.960 --> 0:05:24.840 alamanu obamb it's vu tall vitsy vanu leja dick nor 0:05:24.960 --> 0:05:30.160 shell Hanika. We are now in the third night of Hanukah. 0:05:30.160 --> 0:05:33.000 If you're out there watching on the West coast, just 0:05:33.120 --> 0:05:36.039 imagine the sun has gone down already, but it is 0:05:36.080 --> 0:05:39.520 now the third crazy night. So let's keep it going 0:05:39.880 --> 0:05:42.279 in our third crazy night by going around the league 0:05:42.279 --> 0:05:44.320 with news and no So the first thing I'll say 0:05:44.320 --> 0:05:47.080 before we get to the practice reports, UH Giants owner 0:05:47.160 --> 0:05:50.200 John Mara says that he wants Eli to return to 0:05:50.240 --> 0:05:53.040 the Giants in two thousand and eighteen. I gotta tell 0:05:53.080 --> 0:05:55.760 you something. I actually think Eli would be the perfect 0:05:56.160 --> 0:06:00.360 you know, bridge quarterback slash mentor if they do use 0:06:00.440 --> 0:06:02.240 what will likely be a top five pick for the 0:06:02.240 --> 0:06:06.760 Giants on a quarterback, and um over at another network, 0:06:07.080 --> 0:06:09.760 they had a mock draft happened with Sam Donald, like 0:06:09.880 --> 0:06:13.279 I've been talking about, going number one and Josh Rosen 0:06:13.360 --> 0:06:16.360 the chosen run going to the New York Giants at 0:06:16.440 --> 0:06:19.800 number two, Josh Allen going number five. Then I believe 0:06:19.839 --> 0:06:23.640 Todd mcshay's one point draft. So listen, it's very viable 0:06:23.680 --> 0:06:25.520 for a team like the Giants wind up with Rosen 0:06:25.760 --> 0:06:27.760 and still want to have Eli Manning there in the 0:06:27.800 --> 0:06:30.520 same way that Eli Manning sat for the first half 0:06:30.520 --> 0:06:33.120 of the season underneath Kurt Warner. Let's get to the 0:06:33.120 --> 0:06:37.080 practice reports here. Leonard four Nette still did not practice 0:06:37.120 --> 0:06:39.880 with that quad injury. I'm telling you he's becoming another 0:06:39.960 --> 0:06:43.120 keya kind of player. My neck, my back. This time 0:06:43.160 --> 0:06:46.320 it is his quad. He continues to miss practice. Keep 0:06:46.360 --> 0:06:49.840 an eye on him. On Friday's practice report, for sure, 0:06:49.920 --> 0:06:53.039 Mike Wallace did not practice with an ankle injury. Kyle 0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.080 Rudolph still not practicing. This is very important. I think 0:06:57.120 --> 0:06:59.000 this is one of the most important ones. I believe 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:01.760 playoff teams have Kyle Rudolph. But here's the other thing. 0:07:02.600 --> 0:07:05.680 A lot of playoff teams speeds the spitting statistician included 0:07:05.960 --> 0:07:09.080 have Stefon Diggs, and I bet if you own Stefon 0:07:09.200 --> 0:07:11.600 Diggs you are frustrated and are right now like Dow, 0:07:11.640 --> 0:07:14.400 I start Stefon Diggs this week or not. I gotta 0:07:14.440 --> 0:07:17.840 tell you the truth. If Kyle Rudolph cannot play this week, 0:07:18.200 --> 0:07:22.320 then I think Stephen can you Digs? It becomes a 0:07:22.560 --> 0:07:27.240 very viable wide receiver. Amari Cooper still not practicing. They're 0:07:27.240 --> 0:07:30.239 saying that he is now expected to miss Week fifteen 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:33.120 Sunday Night football against the Dallas Cowboys. That means it 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:36.560 looks like Michael Crabtree, you know, could really own that 0:07:36.760 --> 0:07:39.680 secondary and own the targets by himself. And here is 0:07:39.760 --> 0:07:43.840 a new ad someone who did not practice his DeAndre Hopkins. 0:07:43.960 --> 0:07:46.320 This is a toe injury. He was not on the 0:07:46.360 --> 0:07:49.120 practice report of the injury report at all yesterday, so 0:07:49.280 --> 0:07:52.960 that means he sustained an injury in practice this week. 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:56.520 If you have DeAndre Hopkins, I know you're already a 0:07:56.560 --> 0:07:58.680 bit worried because he's facing the cat scratch fever in 0:07:58.720 --> 0:08:02.200 the Jacksonville Jaguars. This cannot be good news to add 0:08:02.240 --> 0:08:07.200 on top of it. However, I would still certainly play 0:08:07.600 --> 0:08:10.400 DeAndre Hopkins if he is active, and I still expect 0:08:10.480 --> 0:08:12.800 him to be I expect him to get in limited 0:08:12.840 --> 0:08:15.960 work tomorrow and be active. As long as he is active, 0:08:16.080 --> 0:08:19.760 I would say play him limited in practice today. Kelvin 0:08:19.840 --> 0:08:22.520 Benjamin was limited. I'm fading this Bill's offense because we're 0:08:22.560 --> 0:08:26.320 hearing there maybe snow and Buffalo again this weekend. Juju 0:08:26.440 --> 0:08:30.400 Smith Schuster was limited in practice. This also a new ad. 0:08:30.520 --> 0:08:33.640 You never like to see that, this compounding I'm off 0:08:33.760 --> 0:08:36.280 Juju this week. I remember telling you guys, now you 0:08:36.400 --> 0:08:38.719 know it's Belle, you know it's Brown. But now with 0:08:38.880 --> 0:08:41.599 both Juju and Bryant kind of in the mix, I 0:08:41.720 --> 0:08:43.959 think it's good for the Steelers, but less good to 0:08:44.040 --> 0:08:45.920 try to figure out which one of those two guys, 0:08:46.000 --> 0:08:48.839 Brian or Juju is the true wide receiver too. And 0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:51.840 here's another one, And this I had to bring up 0:08:51.840 --> 0:08:54.880 because yesterday, if you heard, when I previewed that Saturday 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:59.079 night game of Chiefs and Charges, my fool gazey was 0:08:59.240 --> 0:09:02.120 Tyreek Hill, and I said, I thought Casey Hayward and 0:09:02.240 --> 0:09:04.640 the Charges would make priority number one to try to 0:09:04.720 --> 0:09:07.480 prevent the big play to Tyreek Hill, which could as 0:09:07.559 --> 0:09:10.719 you know, ignite the Arrowhead crowd. We'll check this out. 0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.719 Casey Hayward limited in practice with a calf injury. In 0:09:14.840 --> 0:09:17.240 this is, you know, something we haven't seen before. So 0:09:17.440 --> 0:09:19.760 maybe Hayward is a little bit banged up. And I 0:09:19.800 --> 0:09:22.960 gotta tell you, if Hayward is banged up, I retract 0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.440 everything I said about Tyreek Hill being a full gazzey. 0:09:26.559 --> 0:09:29.320 Remember though, I did go against the grain and say 0:09:29.360 --> 0:09:31.920 I believe the Kansas City Chiefs win that battle for 0:09:32.040 --> 0:09:37.080 a f C supremacy on Saturday night. Joe Mixon back practicing. 0:09:37.320 --> 0:09:40.480 Still has not necessarily cleared the concussion protocol, but is 0:09:40.559 --> 0:09:44.000 back practicing. That is not a good sign for Giovanni 0:09:44.040 --> 0:09:47.559 Bernard if that becomes a split backfield. Tyrod Taylor is 0:09:47.600 --> 0:09:50.079 in fact practicing coming back from that knee injury. It 0:09:50.120 --> 0:09:52.520 looks like he will start for the Buffalo Bills against 0:09:52.559 --> 0:09:56.720 the Miami Dolphins this week. Matt Forte back practicing. Remember 0:09:56.760 --> 0:09:59.160 he's dealing with this knee issue, but it looks like 0:09:59.240 --> 0:10:01.720 this is now just the kind of schedule for him. 0:10:01.960 --> 0:10:04.319 It looks like he gets another off day on Wednesday 0:10:04.360 --> 0:10:06.360 to kind of rest it up. Remember this is a 0:10:06.520 --> 0:10:08.520 veteran who has been in the league for a long time, 0:10:08.600 --> 0:10:11.440 knows what he's doing, but at the same time they're 0:10:11.440 --> 0:10:13.520 trying to manage his reps. He was back and he 0:10:13.559 --> 0:10:16.280 should be just fine as the Jets take on the 0:10:16.480 --> 0:10:20.520 Saints this Sunday, and Adam Feeling was limited I guess 0:10:20.760 --> 0:10:22.920 the other day, but he's been upgraded to full. Adam 0:10:23.000 --> 0:10:25.760 Feeling is good to go. Remember, I completely believe that 0:10:25.960 --> 0:10:27.920 Feeling and Diggs get a little bit of a boost 0:10:28.080 --> 0:10:31.480 up if Kyle Rudolph, the red zone reindeer cannot go 0:10:31.920 --> 0:10:34.800 because it has been Rudolph in the end zone a 0:10:34.960 --> 0:10:37.600 lot in the last couple of weeks. He has gotten 0:10:37.640 --> 0:10:41.000 in the end zone, so someone else might catch touchdowns 0:10:41.000 --> 0:10:44.240 from case Keenum and that will likely be Feeling or Digs. 0:10:44.280 --> 0:10:45.880 All right, let's keep it moving here. What I said 0:10:45.880 --> 0:10:50.040 I wanted to do was preview Thursday night football. So 0:10:50.160 --> 0:10:53.400 let's do that right now. We have, you know, Week 0:10:53.480 --> 0:10:57.160 fourteen kicking off in about an hour from now, an 0:10:57.200 --> 0:11:00.040 hour ten minutes from now, You've got Broncos go in 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.120 Indianapolis to take on the Colts. Like I said, the 0:11:02.200 --> 0:11:05.480 Colts are two and a half point home underdogs. You know, 0:11:05.600 --> 0:11:07.719 I love the home dogs. The total in this game 0:11:07.840 --> 0:11:10.400 is forty one. Some shops may have it at forty 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.120 and a half, forty one and a half, it's right 0:11:12.160 --> 0:11:14.200 around forty one. Let me tell you what I think 0:11:14.200 --> 0:11:18.959 about this game. I think that Denver is a much 0:11:19.640 --> 0:11:23.440 better team at home than they are on the road. 0:11:23.760 --> 0:11:25.800 There are some teams that are good enough that it 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:29.439 doesn't matter. Most of the league is dramatically better at 0:11:29.480 --> 0:11:31.720 home than they are on the road. The Denver Broncos, 0:11:31.760 --> 0:11:35.600 with Trevor Simeon and at quarterback, are one of those teams. 0:11:35.600 --> 0:11:37.360 I gotta tell you the truth. I have not liked 0:11:37.400 --> 0:11:40.199 what I've seen out of Trevor Simeon. Okay, I have 0:11:40.360 --> 0:11:43.679 not liked what I've seen out of Manny Sanders. Manny 0:11:43.760 --> 0:11:47.360 Sanders is a little bit banged up. Hasn't done much 0:11:47.400 --> 0:11:51.400 with Trevor Simeon. Checked this out. In his last four games, 0:11:52.360 --> 0:11:55.360 he has had less than twenty yardards receiving las In 0:11:55.440 --> 0:11:59.319 twenty yards receiving, Manny Sanders is usually is capable of 0:11:59.320 --> 0:12:02.480 getting that. On one reception in the last four games, 0:12:02.559 --> 0:12:06.120 he has not gone over twenty yards. I know they 0:12:06.200 --> 0:12:08.679 have a great match up against the Indianapolis Colts who 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:11.080 I have been saying, Oh you hear their secondary is blunt, 0:12:11.160 --> 0:12:15.200 guts trashed. But I still don't think it keeps going 0:12:15.280 --> 0:12:18.800 for Manny Sanders. I think Manny Standers continues to struggle 0:12:19.040 --> 0:12:23.400 with Trevor Simeon under quarterback. In fact, Manny Sanders is 0:12:23.480 --> 0:12:27.840 my fantasy for this game Thursday Night Football. He's somebody 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.839 that I would forget about. I would not look Manny 0:12:30.960 --> 0:12:33.040 Sanders way. You want to know whom my diamond in 0:12:33.080 --> 0:12:38.840 the rough for this game is, It's Marlon mack Here's why. Okay, 0:12:39.000 --> 0:12:41.640 don't forget what did the Colts do last week? They 0:12:41.679 --> 0:12:45.360 were up in the snow in Buffalo. That game went 0:12:45.840 --> 0:12:48.439 pretty much almost to the end of overtime. You know, 0:12:48.480 --> 0:12:50.719 there's only like a minute left in that game when 0:12:50.760 --> 0:12:52.600 Shady McCoy got in the end zone for the Bills 0:12:52.640 --> 0:12:56.480 to beat the Colts. Last Sunday. Okay, Frank Gore had 0:12:57.000 --> 0:13:01.280 thirty six carries. Remember, Rank Gore is getting up there 0:13:01.400 --> 0:13:05.480 in age. Okay, Frank Gore had thirty six catch carries, 0:13:05.559 --> 0:13:08.760 his highest total of the season. It was in the snow, 0:13:09.400 --> 0:13:12.880 and now they're coming into a short week on the road. 0:13:13.440 --> 0:13:16.800 I believe that you're gonna see Marlon Mack get a 0:13:16.960 --> 0:13:21.080 little bit more opportunity today in tonight's game. I think 0:13:21.160 --> 0:13:23.720 Marlon Mack is gonna get a little bit more carries, 0:13:23.960 --> 0:13:26.240 and I think that could be good. The only other 0:13:26.320 --> 0:13:27.800 guy I want to point out to you in this 0:13:27.960 --> 0:13:29.960 game who I like a lot of people have been 0:13:30.000 --> 0:13:33.960 asking me questions about this guy. I like Jack Doyle tonight. 0:13:34.240 --> 0:13:36.480 I think Jack Doyle is a viable tight end. I 0:13:36.520 --> 0:13:39.360 would start him over even guys like Evan Ingram if 0:13:39.400 --> 0:13:41.319 you want to know the truth. He has become the 0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.960 number one receiver for these Indianapolis Colt Do you believe 0:13:45.320 --> 0:13:50.000 that Jack Doyle actually has twenty one more receptions than 0:13:50.160 --> 0:13:53.400 t Y Hilton. I think Jacobe Brissett has found his 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.280 security blanket. And remember you know this Denver pass defense 0:13:57.360 --> 0:13:59.480 on the outside with a keep to leave and Chris Harris, 0:13:59.840 --> 0:14:02.559 I think they can kind of handle t Y Hilton. 0:14:02.640 --> 0:14:05.760 They can kind of handle Moncrief Chester Rogers. I think 0:14:05.920 --> 0:14:08.719 Doyle running in the middle of the field might be 0:14:08.880 --> 0:14:11.640 the number one target and the most effective weapon in 0:14:11.720 --> 0:14:15.760 the Indianapolis Colts pass game tonight. I like Jack Doyle. 0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:19.040 I like Marlon Mack. I'm off Manny Sanders as it 0:14:19.160 --> 0:14:23.160 relates to this game. You know me. You know I've 0:14:23.240 --> 0:14:26.120 gotta go with the home dog every time. I don't 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:28.760 go with the home dog, especially on a Thursday or 0:14:28.800 --> 0:14:32.160 a Monday night football in a spotlight national game environment. 0:14:32.360 --> 0:14:34.560 I am always kicking myself the next day, so I 0:14:34.640 --> 0:14:36.960 am not going to do it. I am taking the 0:14:37.120 --> 0:14:41.480 Indianapolis Colts to win out right today. I also would 0:14:41.480 --> 0:14:43.920 take the under on this game. I see this game 0:14:43.960 --> 0:14:48.360 as like a twenty kind of game. Give me the 0:14:48.560 --> 0:14:52.120 Indianapolis Colts. I just hope Jacoby Brissette can make it 0:14:52.200 --> 0:14:54.320 through the game healthy. I know a lot of you 0:14:54.440 --> 0:14:56.920 guys might have the Denver defense. I know a lot 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.480 of people might be deciding around Manny Sanders, T Hilton 0:15:00.600 --> 0:15:03.920 to Marius Thomas. Do I put C. J. Anderson in 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:06.280 my lineup? So here's what we're gonna do.

But first I promise you guys at 0:16:33.480 --> 0:16:35.240 the top of the show, I said it yesterday as well. 0:16:35.440 --> 0:16:38.560 We gotta get into that new young cause track. These 0:16:38.640 --> 0:16:40.640 guys have been killing it all season long. Let me 0:16:40.680 --> 0:16:43.000 tell you something. First of all. First of all, they 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:46.720 embody hashtag stats over beats, and it is not easy 0:16:47.240 --> 0:16:49.720 to do the cadence of the song, to imitate the 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:54.160 rapper and to actually get legitimate fantasy football you know, 0:16:54.440 --> 0:16:58.520 information and reactions in there. So once again, big shout 0:16:58.560 --> 0:17:01.160 out to my guys young is the effect what they 0:17:01.280 --> 0:17:03.560 did this week is they talked a little bit about 0:17:04.040 --> 0:17:07.919 Shady McCoy in the snow. So if you're talking about Shady, 0:17:07.960 --> 0:17:10.200 you know you gotta go to slim Shady. Check it out, 0:17:10.280 --> 0:17:14.600 young pods parodying Uh, you know, a good old eminem track. 0:17:14.720 --> 0:17:22.760 Let's get that going, Bovona. Let me show you something though, 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:26.480 Buff gets a ninety two yards via the air. Meanwhile, 0:17:26.560 --> 0:17:29.119 Shady McCoy goes thirty two one fifty six in the 0:17:29.200 --> 0:17:34.719 tut two NFL teams just playing outside, playing outside, playing outside. 0:17:39.400 --> 0:17:48.200 Guess he's back back again, Shady's back. Tell friend, guess 0:17:48.280 --> 0:18:05.200 he's bad. Guess he's back. Guess guess you just witnessed 0:18:05.200 --> 0:18:07.400 some monstuff because nobody wants to play marsh on them 0:18:07.400 --> 0:18:09.520 all and they want Shady, not shopped live. Well, if 0:18:09.560 --> 0:18:11.440 you want Shady, let's see what I give you. A 0:18:11.520 --> 0:18:13.240 little bit us know only makes me a quick no 0:18:13.480 --> 0:18:15.760 ti Rodato, jump start the run. Take a random shot 0:18:15.800 --> 0:18:17.880 when they get rocked to the hospital. On my doctor 0:18:17.960 --> 0:18:20.000 with this scuple when he's outper rating slice and he's 0:18:20.000 --> 0:18:22.560 and breaking nesting for cool ouper rating. You waited this 0:18:22.640 --> 0:18:24.520 long to stop debating because I'm back there and he 0:18:24.560 --> 0:18:27.240 carries get some masticating. I know that you've got a 0:18:27.320 --> 0:18:29.119 job for Brady, but don't worry. Let me run it. 0:18:29.200 --> 0:18:31.679 Don't be complicated. It's the a f C. Won't let 0:18:31.760 --> 0:18:33.960 me for you. Just let me be me with the lanes. 0:18:34.000 --> 0:18:36.080 I see they try to shut me down on third 0:18:36.119 --> 0:18:39.400 and three, but the zones empty without me, So come 0:18:39.440 --> 0:18:41.840 on this live linebacker's rind screen pass going on it 0:18:42.160 --> 0:18:45.080 another one miss and get better.

I said, this looks 0:18:56.720 --> 0:19:00.200 like untouched for me, So everybody just follow me. Do 0:19:00.359 --> 0:19:06.480 we need a little Russian empty without me? And then 0:19:06.640 --> 0:19:11.960 and Anna Nara Naran, you're an earner and big shout 0:19:12.000 --> 0:19:14.400 out as always to young cos the effect I'm telling 0:19:14.440 --> 0:19:17.240 you it takes actual talent. They turn it around real quick, 0:19:17.600 --> 0:19:20.840 they follow along the song, they get actual references, and 0:19:20.880 --> 0:19:23.720 they even had a little decent impression of Eminem right there. 0:19:24.000 --> 0:19:25.720 And you know I love that they sample my boy. 0:19:26.119 --> 0:19:29.280 You know yours truly speeds of spitting statistician. Alright, let's 0:19:29.359 --> 0:19:31.080 open up the phone lines. We got a lot of 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:34.040 people lined up that want to hollow at the spitting statistician. 0:19:34.320 --> 0:19:36.600 Let's get down to the status over beat cipher. We've 0:19:36.640 --> 0:19:38.879 lit the menorah. I've told you my pick for the 0:19:38.920 --> 0:19:42.879 Thursday night game. I'm going home dog in the Indianapolis Colts. 0:19:42.960 --> 0:19:46.520 I am fading the Denver Broncos. Trevor Simeon on the road. 0:19:46.600 --> 0:19:49.239 I think Jack Doyle gets to eat a little bit 0:19:49.520 --> 0:19:52.000 in the middle of the field today because I'm avoiding 0:19:52.040 --> 0:19:55.080 the Denver Broncos on the outside. I think Marlon Mack 0:19:55.359 --> 0:19:59.600 gets a little bit more touches. And I'm fading many Sanders. 0:19:59.680 --> 0:20:01.320 But we go now to the phones, and we start 0:20:01.400 --> 0:20:03.800 with r J and Callie. How you doing. R J, 0:20:03.960 --> 0:20:06.320 You're on the status over beat cipher with speeds. Let's 0:20:06.359 --> 0:20:10.400 help you get a W in your playoffs? What's up? Yeah? 0:20:10.520 --> 0:20:14.240 Let's do it. So I've got a little bit of 0:20:14.280 --> 0:20:17.480 an embarrassment of riches, like a year, my two running backs, 0:20:17.600 --> 0:20:20.240 two receivers, and uh flex. All right, let's go a 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.640 position by position. It's VPR tim of these running backs, 0:20:24.520 --> 0:20:31.120 all right, McCaffrey, Jordan Howard, Kenyan Drake and Jamal Williams. 0:20:33.400 --> 0:20:36.040 I like CMC definitely because it's a PPR league, you know, 0:20:36.160 --> 0:20:39.240 So I like that McCaffrey opportunity. And I gotta tell 0:20:39.240 --> 0:20:42.000 you the truth. I really like Jamal Williams. I really 0:20:42.080 --> 0:20:44.080 like Jamal Williams. He's been doing it in the receiving 0:20:44.160 --> 0:20:46.200 game and in the running game, been getting into the 0:20:46.320 --> 0:20:49.280 end zone. You gotta figure with Aaron Rodgers back this week, 0:20:49.560 --> 0:20:52.480 maybe they're a little bit more prolific on offense. I 0:20:52.680 --> 0:20:56.360 like CMC and I like Williams. Part of me why 0:20:56.440 --> 0:20:59.320 I want to fade Jordan Howard this week. I think 0:20:59.359 --> 0:21:02.040 Kareem Hunt though it's viable for us in the flex options. 0:21:02.080 --> 0:21:03.800 So let's keep going. R J, what are you doing 0:21:03.840 --> 0:21:09.680 at wide receiver? Wide receiver got Michael Thomas, got Doug Baldwin, 0:21:10.280 --> 0:21:17.880 Davante Adams, and Josh Gordon, and we need two of these. Yeah, 0:21:18.080 --> 0:21:20.240 all right, and it's PPR you said. Though I love Baldwin, 0:21:20.760 --> 0:21:23.679 I think Baldwin is good this week. I'm off Michael 0:21:23.760 --> 0:21:26.560 Thomas r J. Because I believe that I told I 0:21:26.680 --> 0:21:28.639 was saying that last hour here. I think the Saints 0:21:28.720 --> 0:21:31.320 has really become a running team, um, and I think 0:21:31.359 --> 0:21:33.440 that they're gonna be able to, you know, steamroll the 0:21:33.560 --> 0:21:36.879 Jets without having to leverage Michael Thomas. You know. And 0:21:36.960 --> 0:21:38.720 Michael Thomas, I think he's only had like one or 0:21:38.760 --> 0:21:41.680 two hundred yard games so far this season. So I'm 0:21:41.760 --> 0:21:44.280 off him. He's not in consideration for me. For me, 0:21:44.480 --> 0:21:47.200 it's Baldwin. And and the thing comes down to it, 0:21:47.400 --> 0:21:50.520 r J. Do you think that with Aaron Rodgers back, 0:21:50.600 --> 0:21:53.359 all of a sudden, Jordy Nelson becomes the main guy again? 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:57.040 You know what I mean? R J? Yeah, Yeah, I 0:21:57.160 --> 0:21:59.920 think Jordy Nelson is probably gonna catch a touchdown or two. Okay, 0:22:00.040 --> 0:22:02.000 So if that's what you think, then you need to 0:22:02.080 --> 0:22:03.760 go with your gut and you need to not start 0:22:03.880 --> 0:22:06.560 Davante Adams. You need to go with Doug Baldwin and 0:22:06.880 --> 0:22:09.640 Josh Gordon and then because that's the way you think 0:22:09.760 --> 0:22:11.680 I would flex Kareem Hunt. That's the way I would 0:22:11.680 --> 0:22:14.560 go with it. R J. What do you think? All right? 0:22:14.680 --> 0:22:16.200 All right, sounds good to me. All right. I hope, 0:22:16.320 --> 0:22:18.360 I hope you you know, are able to call back 0:22:18.440 --> 0:22:21.840 next week because you advanced in your playoffs. Up next, 0:22:21.920 --> 0:22:23.760 we go down to Austin where we love to keep 0:22:23.800 --> 0:22:26.440 it weird, and it is Dave. Dave is on the 0:22:26.440 --> 0:22:28.600
