Speaker 1: Hello, everybody, Welcome into the Fantasy pros Football Podcast. I'm
Speaker 1: Ryan Warmley, joined not on this Tuesday morning, on this
Speaker 1: Monday morning because we're tamping a day early because of
Speaker 1: the holiday, by Chris Welsh and Andrew Ericson Fellas. It
Speaker 1: is not only the week of Christmas, it is the
Speaker 1: week of the Fantasy Championship. We were just talking a
Speaker 1: bit before we started recording about how we performed in
Speaker 1: Week sixteen in the Fantasy Semifinals. It was not a
Speaker 1: good week for me. I will make the title game
Speaker 1: in a few places, but not the leagues I care
Speaker 1: most about. I'm going to get edged out in the
Speaker 1: scott Fish Bowl Finals. I had a very strong week actually,
Speaker 1: but everybody did and I will not make the finalists there.
Speaker 1: You know, we were talking about some of the content leagues,
Speaker 1: some of the industry leagues were in together. A lot
Speaker 1: of disappointing performances for me at least, and I faced
Speaker 1: Jonathan Taylor in a number of places, which was pretty
Speaker 1: much an auto loss. Welsh, how did your teams fair
Speaker 1: this weekend?
Speaker 2: We did pretty good. The ones that's survived. Coming into
Speaker 2: this week, I think I'm in going into two Championships,
Speaker 2: and then I'm still in the championship round of the
Speaker 2: Fantasy Pros Online FFPC. The Fantasy Pros Online Championship. They
Speaker 2: just take the final three weeks, they round them up.
Speaker 2: I had a very strong week. I had Brian and
Speaker 2: one team. It was like Brian Thomas and Bijon. It
Speaker 2: was a very very strong week on that team, so
Speaker 2: hoping to make some cash, make some cash. But there's
Speaker 2: a couple others. I had that classic by the way
Speaker 2: where it was like the prior week stinker, and then
Speaker 2: I look at those teams this week, bup, bup, bup
Speaker 2: would have just like done some demolishing specific can't do that.
Speaker 2: I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have. Yeah, flex leagues, I
Speaker 2: would have moved on to the championship. But no, Bueno Erickson,
Speaker 2: how about you, buddy.
Speaker 3: I had three teams left playing in the semi finals.
Speaker 3: One of them was lost. I got destroyed, so that
Speaker 3: team will not be moving on. But two teams and
Speaker 3: the one that I care about the most I've talked
Speaker 3: about before four on this show, Puku Nakui, even though
Speaker 3: he didn't really have a good game. A team has
Speaker 3: Brian Thomas on it, So he's been helping a lot.
Speaker 3: And Jane Daniels so j Nails obviously had that monster
Speaker 3: game against the Eagles, and that's gonna propel a lot
Speaker 3: of people, so including me. So unless something very weird
Speaker 3: happens on Monday Night football, I should have at least
Speaker 3: two teams advancing to the championships. So yeah, looking forward
Speaker 3: to Week seventeen and get to these emiss.
Speaker 2: Isn't it incredible too? I forgot this. So I have
Speaker 2: like two in the championship FFPC and my favorite thing,
Speaker 2: because you said your your favorite league is and I've
Speaker 2: done this, mentioned this tons of times the Pentathlon. I'm
Speaker 2: playing in the five event league that my friend Derek
Speaker 2: and Riper at the Athletic Is put together. We are
Speaker 2: first place in one of the events in the super
Speaker 2: Flex League and we had Jalen Hurts and Jalen Hurts
Speaker 2: gets knocked out. Also destroyed my wallet right before Christmas.
Speaker 2: Thanks a lot. I hope he's okay though, But isn't
Speaker 2: it amazing when you get those other players that pick
Speaker 2: you up, like in that one I had justin Jefferson,
Speaker 2: like we look like like we're gonna just score low
Speaker 2: and then the rest of your players, like they know
Speaker 2: it's happening, Eric Erckson, They're picking you up, They're bringing
Speaker 2: They're saying, we're gonna pick up what Jalen Hurts lost
Speaker 2: and we are going to play for you. It's like
Speaker 2: a Christmas miracle, Justin Jefferson and a host of other
Speaker 2: great guys. You just I don't know, We'll always remember
Speaker 2: those guys that pick up the slack for the quarterbacks
Speaker 2: or the big players that we lose, you know, in
Speaker 2: the first quarter of the most important time in fantas.
Speaker 3: Why team morale is so important, So Andrew Week said,
Speaker 3: it is. You drop all your bench guys. You pick
Speaker 3: up Nick Chobb, you pick up Tank Dale, you pick
Speaker 3: up you pick up Chris Godwin, Rashie Rice, all these
Speaker 3: guys that deserve to be on the ship, and you
Speaker 3: pick all them, throw on your bench, and then they
Speaker 3: become a league winners.
Speaker 1: Get him right your team. You get him a ring,
Speaker 1: Get him a ring that does bring morale. I will
Speaker 1: I'll be facing Mike Mayer in the finals of our
Speaker 1: Fantasy pros Dynasty league that we have. So that's that's
Speaker 1: one fun one and I'm hoping if I get a
Speaker 1: miracle tonight, and again we are recording this on Monday
Speaker 1: morning because of the holiday, this will be released on Tuesdays.
Speaker 1: So we don't know yet what's happened in Packer's Saints.
Speaker 1: But if I get a miracle a bad game from
Speaker 1: both Jacobs and Jaden Reed, then I might be facing
Speaker 1: ericson in one championship as well. But it will not be.
Speaker 3: Like luck, because I'm gonna be starting Mason Rudolph so
Speaker 3: Ron Christmas, so you better watch out.
Speaker 1: We will be talking and here about how we did
Speaker 1: in week sixteen, our predictions, and then mostly looking ahead
Speaker 1: to week seventeen, so again, you know, just to emphasize
Speaker 1: again probably too much at this point. We are taping
Speaker 1: this early, so we're gonna do the best we can
Speaker 1: as far as like if guys are playing or not,
Speaker 1: as far as we might include some Packers and some predictions.
Speaker 1: They obviously haven't played yet, so if anybody gets hurt
Speaker 1: or ends up not playing, you're listening to this later
Speaker 1: in the week, maybe after the holidays or right before Christmas,
Speaker 1: or however you want to do it. Just bear in
Speaker 1: mind this is early Monday morning. We want to get
Speaker 1: to get everybody a show, but we also wanted to
Speaker 1: give ourselves and our editing team, who does a wonderful
Speaker 1: job all year, a break on Christmas, even Christmas, So
Speaker 1: that's why we're rolling early. Let's see how did we
Speaker 1: do in week sixteen? Ericson as of now, and you
Speaker 1: do still have one prediction waiting to see how it
Speaker 1: does tonight. As of now. You got literally nothing right
Speaker 1: from last week.
Speaker 2: It was the meanest you've ever been. I was like,
Speaker 2: Erickson's gonna have done good. You're like and awful. It
Speaker 2: was a bad one.
Speaker 1: I was updating it throughout the day yesterday and I
Speaker 1: had like all the predictions written down and it was
Speaker 1: either deleted if you didn't get it, or leave it
Speaker 1: in the outline if you did, and it was just delete, delete,
Speaker 1: highlight cut.
Speaker 2: It was.
Speaker 4: It was.
Speaker 1: It was brutal for.
Speaker 3: Franklin. We knew golf, Yeah, well wrong, try frank That
Speaker 3: did go over his receiving yards prop he just didn't catch,
Speaker 3: and he didn't catch the store Marvin had the long reception,
Speaker 3: not Troy Franklin. Although Bonnicks didn't even really throw the
Speaker 3: ball down field at all. It was all checked out.
Speaker 3: So there's that one. Uh, Christian Watson is on Monday night,
Speaker 3: so we don't know about that, so that one's gonna hit.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yes, Ericson's logic of the world, which is
Speaker 2: pretty sound by the way, it saved me in multiple spots.
Speaker 2: That way, there's no chance Erickson can go oh for five.
Speaker 2: So I'm gonna now that hard on. Christian. What was
Speaker 2: your what was your prediction on want So?
Speaker 3: I think it was I think it was over his
Speaker 3: receiving and touchdown.
Speaker 2: So all right, everybody already knows what happens, and you
Speaker 2: know that.
Speaker 1: He you listed a bunch of the ones you had.
Speaker 1: He didn't list the big one that we've been talking
Speaker 1: about for like a month, which was traded.
Speaker 3: I swear like Kyler Murray just doesn't. I don't know,
Speaker 3: Like he sees Martin Harrison, He's like, I gotta throw
Speaker 3: a fade to Martin Harrison. He never catches.
Speaker 2: Ever, Kyler Murray stinks. He stinks. Oh, he had McBride
Speaker 2: in the end zone, overthrew him, which then.
Speaker 3: Turned into a past interference call and then they DJ Dallas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but if you watch that play, it was like,
Speaker 2: you know, a full set. It was like three tight
Speaker 2: ends or whatever. It's play action. McBride goes to the
Speaker 2: left wide open. Kyler Murray never even looked over there
Speaker 2: and went to DJ j Ellis because I bet it.
Speaker 2: Of course I ride with Homie. I go, I'm on
Speaker 2: trade McBride two straight weeks on money and I'm like McBride,
Speaker 2: DJ Dallas. Kyler Murray hates trade McBride and I don't
Speaker 2: know if you guys saw too trade McBride not happy
Speaker 2: after the game, had a few words about how cooked
Speaker 2: they got. That was recorded Cayler Murray's rough as was.
Speaker 3: My last one, last one I got wrong, I should say.
Speaker 2: You had it was.
Speaker 1: We did it at a time where we thought that
Speaker 1: Carson Wentz might start for the Chiefs, so you had
Speaker 1: him having a good game. So that one's a little unfair,
Speaker 1: got butchered. He never really have the opportunity to, uh
Speaker 1: that was to see how he did. But for you,
Speaker 1: let's talk about Wels. Wels did much better. You know,
Speaker 1: some of the ones he didn't technically get, but like
Speaker 1: if you are, for example, you had Bucky Irving getting
Speaker 1: a rushing and a receiving touchdown. He didn't get that,
Speaker 1: but he had a good game like that spiritually was correct.
Speaker 1: You were right about Lamar Jackson exercising demons against the stealers,
Speaker 1: but he didn't technically throw for three hund yards.
Speaker 2: So like, hey, but I said three touchdowns and I
Speaker 2: had sad three hundred total yards.
Speaker 1: And he was like, you were spiritually correct for sure.
Speaker 2: That's manifested accounting.
Speaker 3: I think.
Speaker 1: And then you were. You were definitely like objectively correct
Speaker 1: on Jerome Ford eighty plus yards in a touchdown and
Speaker 1: George Kittle doing well against Miami getting his hundred plus yards.
Speaker 1: So you you hit spot on on a couple of
Speaker 1: these as well.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you know what I remember too, Brian Thomas,
Speaker 2: I think had that huge play this week, and I
Speaker 2: put it in my brain that I had put that
Speaker 2: on there. The one I got really wrong was Kim
Speaker 2: That was from the previous Thomas having that. Yeah, I
Speaker 2: would say, soothsayer as Erickson would say, like, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: give myself the points. I nailed all of those to
Speaker 2: a very high degree. Kem Coleman, big fat, stupid idiot direction.
Speaker 2: Why would I think he would do anything whatsoever. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take I'm gonna take four wins on that
Speaker 2: with one loss.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the rest of them you maybe missed if you
Speaker 1: were like betting their props like technically, but you a
Speaker 1: win for the overall prediction on the on the rest,
Speaker 1: and to be clear, you only needed to get one
Speaker 1: of them right to do better than Erickson.
Speaker 2: Because again, because if you don't remember Ericson, everything you
Speaker 2: did was wrong, just if you forgot.
Speaker 1: All right, let's get into our week seventeen predictions. It'll
Speaker 1: be interesting to see kind of what direction you guys
Speaker 1: took these, given how early in the week we are
Speaker 1: doing this relative to usual, But we're going to see
Speaker 1: if I mean like, it can hardly be much worse Ericson.
Speaker 1: So we'll start with you, what's your what's your number
Speaker 1: five prediction for week seventeen.
Speaker 3: Jackd Abbins is going to come back off of injury
Speaker 3: reserve and rush for one hundred and thirty four plus
Speaker 3: yards against the New England Patriots. First of all, it's
Speaker 3: a great matchup and Jack Obbins is eligible to come
Speaker 3: off the injury reserve. And I just cannot stand any
Speaker 3: more of the Gus Bus experience on just too much.
Speaker 3: On Thursday night, the guy is sitting on like twenty yards,
Speaker 3: he rips off this like the longest run of his career,
Speaker 3: seemingly and destroys all of the gust Edwards unders that
Speaker 3: I had on Thursday night, but scored two touchdowns. I'm
Speaker 3: sure he helped a lot of people and their fantasy
Speaker 3: champions discuss Edwards, So shout out to the gus Bus.
Speaker 3: But I think that Dobbins, if he is eligible to
Speaker 3: play and comes off ir that they're going to throw
Speaker 3: him right back into the fire because I think Dobbins
Speaker 3: he has incentives. There's a reason why I picked one
Speaker 3: hundred and thirty four yards exactly, so he gets an
Speaker 3: additional one hundred and fifty K for each of the
Speaker 3: thresholds that he reaches in terms of rushing yards. So
Speaker 3: he's at seven sixty six right now, but he gets
Speaker 3: to nine hundred, he gets an additional bonus. He gets
Speaker 3: to one thousand and fifty, he gets another additional bonus.
Speaker 3: So I'm going to expect that, hey, he can get
Speaker 3: to one hundred thirty four yards, get that first bonus
Speaker 3: because I put him over nine hundred and then even
Speaker 3: a week at we could see him run a lot more.
Speaker 3: So I like j Dobbins bouncing back here. It's a
Speaker 3: great matchup against New England Patriots. They can't stop the run.
Speaker 3: James Cook got there on not even that much volume
Speaker 3: last week, going over one hundred yards. So I like
Speaker 3: Dobbins and I think that I wouldn't be hesitant to
Speaker 3: start him in fantasy, Like I think you should start JK.
Speaker 3: Dobbins if he is eligible to play.
Speaker 1: I was surprised when I saw on the outline that
Speaker 1: you put specifically one hundred and thirty four plus yards.
Speaker 1: I guess it makes sense that it would be base
Speaker 1: around some kind of incentive. Welsh, what do you think about,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe not specific one hundred and thirty four yards,
Speaker 1: but Dobbin's having a big day and being a very
Speaker 1: viable start in what will theoretically be his first game back,
Speaker 1: assuming he is officially activated.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like the logica. Again, they'll like the one
Speaker 2: thirty four. This will be the like he goes for
Speaker 2: one hundred and you're going to spiritually say he was
Speaker 2: pretty right, and I'll be like that was right, but like, yeah,
Speaker 2: like I probably wouldn't pick the one thirty four because he's,
Speaker 2: like I don't see him like hitting the incentive and
Speaker 2: then pushing at that hard in that first game back.
Speaker 2: But if he has like a hundred, he's probably within
Speaker 2: the distance where next week I would be like, oh,
Speaker 2: now we're gonna go like hard, We're going to go
Speaker 2: on incentive based numbers. But yeah, I think the only
Speaker 2: thing that worries me is him coming back and you know,
Speaker 2: like having this very very vast history of injuries and
Speaker 2: it happening again this year, that they would want him
Speaker 2: a little bit healthier, and you don't want to give
Speaker 2: him twenty plus carries, so I would be worried he'd
Speaker 2: be limited to like you know, ten to twelve just
Speaker 2: to get his feet under him. But he has had
Speaker 2: some big explosive plays this year, so I don't know,
Speaker 2: you know, if I were playing Sate, like whatever his
Speaker 2: rushing yard prop is, I think I'm going to want
Speaker 2: to go over it this week. I think that's a
Speaker 2: play because incentives are in the uh when say the
Speaker 2: rear view kind of in the review, they're like, they're
Speaker 2: right there, but I'm not sure, like we're going to
Speaker 2: hit that one thirty four. But I like the logic
Speaker 2: of what's happening here because you want to get him set,
Speaker 2: you want to get him going, and as you know
Speaker 2: Erickson was talking about off air like the other week,
Speaker 2: and a lot of people do it is incentive time.
Speaker 2: This is the time where people are like going heavy
Speaker 2: on yards and catches. That's why Mike Evans is a
Speaker 2: big play right now, and knowing these type of things
Speaker 2: are really important. I think it was didn't someone ask
Speaker 2: Baker Mayfield about this last week with Mike Evans and
Speaker 2: He's like, I'm paying attention to more of the you know,
Speaker 2: the thousand yard club incentives than he is. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I think that the logic is really sound here and JK.
Speaker 2: Dobbins getting some run is good. Just worried about what
Speaker 2: the volume looks like.
Speaker 1: Quickly ericson, I know it's definitely too early for rankings,
Speaker 1: but what kind of range do you expect Dobbins to
Speaker 1: fall in for you.
Speaker 3: Top twenty four? I would say probably at RB two range.
Speaker 3: I mean looks. I mean James Cook had eleven carries
Speaker 3: last week out one hundred yards against Patriots, right, so
Speaker 3: even if Dobbins gets ten carries, that might be enough
Speaker 3: to get some do some serious damaging. I mean, the
Speaker 3: Page's defense is so bad, like they can't stop anything.
Speaker 3: So the Chargers are muscle wing territory. They're trying to
Speaker 3: make a run at the postseason. It's good matchup, but
Speaker 3: on Saturday too, so it should be fun.
Speaker 1: Well, let's let's your number five prediction, all right?
Speaker 2: The first one I'm gonna go with almost like caveat
Speaker 2: here because there might be a player issue with it,
Speaker 2: But the main crux of it is going to be
Speaker 2: going down the Odric estimate train, and we're gonna go
Speaker 2: Adric estimate pulling off seventy five plus total yards and
Speaker 2: a touchdown against the Cincinnati Bengals. Why I'm giving it
Speaker 2: a caveat. Jalil McLoughlin is fully healthy and available. Let's
Speaker 2: just move this to him. Let's just put this over
Speaker 2: to McLoughlin. I like this in play for both of
Speaker 2: these guys. What I do like is estimated this past
Speaker 2: week nine carries forty eight yards against Chargers. That's a
Speaker 2: tough one and a touchdown, averaging over five yards per carry.
Speaker 2: What did I do with Jerome Ford? Last week? We
Speaker 2: picked on the Bengals. Who are the Broncos playing the Bengals.
Speaker 2: The Bengals still giving up the tippy top. This hasn't
Speaker 2: updated here, but going into this past week, the Bengals
Speaker 2: were giving up the most fantasy points to running backs,
Speaker 2: the most receiving yards two running backs. So if McLoughlin
Speaker 2: is active, I really like this plus seventy five because
Speaker 2: he's going to be heavily involved in the receiving game.
Speaker 2: This is a little bit of a Javonte william thing
Speaker 2: on the receiving side. But Arodric Estimate getting more carries.
Speaker 2: I know they want to. They want to see more
Speaker 2: out of him. If McLoughlin is not there, they can
Speaker 2: get in this game. Adric Estima going to get over
Speaker 2: those ten carries, have seventy five plus and just rip
Speaker 2: off what you can do against the Bengals, because we
Speaker 2: saw it from Jerome Ford. So seventy five in a
Speaker 2: score for Adric Estimate, assuming Juliel McLoughlin is inactive.
Speaker 1: Ericson, this would be clearly the best game of Estimate's
Speaker 1: young career for fantasy purposes. Do you think that it'll
Speaker 1: play out the way? Well, She's it.
Speaker 3: I hope so, because I love Estimate, but I hate
Speaker 3: Champayn and this is just this is a classic Hey
Speaker 3: like Estimate. It looks like the guy like he even
Speaker 3: started the game last on Thursday night, and the broadcasters
Speaker 3: messed it up saying, oh, Jamanti Williams up the medal
Speaker 3: for blah blah blah. Wait, that's not Jamante Williams, that's
Speaker 3: I'm just Esterday starting the game. And I'm just I'm
Speaker 3: just so sick of being bamboozled by Sean Payton when
Speaker 3: it's like, oh, the trend say that this should be
Speaker 3: the next guy getting the volume, and I'm terrified if
Speaker 3: mcloffain comes back and then adds another wrinkle to this prediction.
Speaker 3: The other thing too, that I concerns about is the
Speaker 3: game script if the Bengals get a lead like his
Speaker 3: estimate even in the game anymore, because I love Javonte
Speaker 3: in that's pass catching role. So that's where I get
Speaker 3: concerned about where this con potentially goes off the rail. Again.
Speaker 3: I would love all the conference where it'll be like
Speaker 3: love estimate, it's a great matchup, and I think that
Speaker 3: Fantasy football wise, like there are gonna be people that
Speaker 3: might need to start estimate, you know, even as like
Speaker 3: a flexor an RB three play because it is a
Speaker 3: good matchup for him and went in doubt. I think
Speaker 3: attacking some of these softer matchups makes a lot of sense,
Speaker 3: But I just I don't think I've ever been right
Speaker 3: like backing one week of a sample size of this
Speaker 3: broadcast backfield and then following the next week it being correct.
Speaker 3: So that's my only hesitance on it.
Speaker 1: Who do you guys think wins that game? By the way,
Speaker 1: it's huge for the ANC playoff picture. Bengals are laying
Speaker 1: three and a half at home, it's.
Speaker 3: Only three and a half. I'm on taking the Bengals. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I just I'm taking the bank the Bengals are. The
Speaker 3: Bengals are playing much better right now, like they're winning
Speaker 3: the games that they should beat against bad teams. The
Speaker 3: Broncos defense has not been playing nearly as well as
Speaker 3: it was to start the year. And I don't know
Speaker 3: if bo Nix can can keep up with Joe Burrow.
Speaker 3: I mean, this offense scores like thirty five points a game.
Speaker 2: It's kind of like which version of bo Nick shows
Speaker 2: up too, because we've seen this incredible, like really accurate,
Speaker 2: get the ball to everybody version of bo Nicks, and
Speaker 2: then we've also seen that like rookie version just show
Speaker 2: its head. The thing also is like if you could
Speaker 2: stop Jamar Chase. That's like a feat in itself. But
Speaker 2: then they'll just they got t Higgins and then they've
Speaker 2: got Chase Browns. So yeah, I don't like hooks like that.
Speaker 2: I probably would take the Bengals at this point, but
Speaker 2: you know, back just real quick on the logic. You're right,
Speaker 2: if the Bengals were to get out really really quick,
Speaker 2: this could be disastrous. But I would think one of
Speaker 2: the things the Broncos are going to want to do
Speaker 2: also is you want to control the game, and you
Speaker 2: want to control the clock, and that's something estimate rattling
Speaker 2: off over five yards per carry against a Chargers defense
Speaker 2: last week really works well for them to want to
Speaker 2: use him to control the clock. But you know, he's
Speaker 2: probably going to come out third downs. That's where Javonte
Speaker 2: comes in again, assuming McLaughlin's not there. But my assumption is,
Speaker 2: if I guess by this logic, maybe I would want
Speaker 2: to take the hook with the Broncos here, but I
Speaker 2: guess I am leaning a little bit Bengals.
Speaker 1: It's the highest total of the week at exactly fifty.
Speaker 1: I mean ericson you said, like, you know, the Bengals
Speaker 1: are scoring thirty five a game, you got to keep up.
Speaker 1: If you take out the back to back at Ravens
Speaker 1: at Chiefs where the Broncos didn't score much. Since Week seven,
Speaker 1: their points scored are thirty three, twenty eight, thirty eight,
Speaker 1: twenty nine, forty one, thirty one, twenty seven. They've been
Speaker 1: a very very productive offense for really the last two
Speaker 1: months here outside of just that one back to back
Speaker 1: game against the two artist teams on their schedule. So
Speaker 1: that'll be a really fun one and, like I said,
Speaker 1: very big for the AFC playoff picture. If you are

Speaker 1: four prediction?
Speaker 3: Naji Harris is going to finish under fifty rushing yards
Speaker 3: against the Kansas City Chiefs on Christmas. Note presence for
Speaker 3: Naji Harris, just Cole. You look at Najia Harris in
Speaker 3: the way that he's been used over the last couple
Speaker 3: of weeks and hasn't been great. The usage has been down.
Speaker 3: He's been out snapped by Jalen Warren in three straight games.
Speaker 3: Harris had a twenty eight percent snap share on Saturday
Speaker 3: and that was the lowest that he's played all season.
Speaker 3: So the team is really leaning more on Jalen Warren,
Speaker 3: especially since George Pickens has missed so much time. And
Speaker 3: this offense hasn't been as effective overall. They're not moving
Speaker 3: the ball effectively with Russell Wilson, but not running the
Speaker 3: ball great with Najie Harris, and it's a tough magic
Speaker 3: Againstkansady Chiefs. Joe Mixon struggled. I know we talked about
Speaker 3: mix in on the starter shit show about could this
Speaker 3: be a guy that you're potentially sitting this week? And
Speaker 3: he wasn't really productive against the Kansasity Chiefs, So tough
Speaker 3: matchup for Naji Harris on the ground. So I'm going
Speaker 3: to lean towards taking the under on him as I
Speaker 3: think that he's kind of hit a ball at the
Speaker 3: end of this season. Take the underunt Najie Harris in
Speaker 3: his rushing yards against Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I strongly agree with this one. Welsh is are
Speaker 1: we all co signing it together or are you going
Speaker 1: to go against us? No?
Speaker 2: Complete co sign Like I was putting together something before
Speaker 2: we did this show about Jalen Warren, like let's go
Speaker 2: back to Jalen Warren. Let's go into that. And I
Speaker 2: think they need to lean on him more. It'll probably
Speaker 2: be more in the passing game side. So yeah, I'm
Speaker 2: completely with this one.
Speaker 1: Where do you expect to have him ranked Welsh go
Speaker 1: first Nase, Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I haven't even tackled that. I would say it's
Speaker 2: probably going to be in the probably the thirties, like
Speaker 2: the between somewhere between twenty eight and thirty two is
Speaker 2: my my gut on this. How about this? No McLoughlin,
Speaker 2: Odrick Estime or Naji Harris this week?
Speaker 3: Well, you know, you think see the way I think,
Speaker 3: I think it seems like could be close when you
Speaker 3: say it like that, But I think about, Okay, well,
Speaker 3: RB committee good matchup, RB Committee, bad matchup. I'll just
Speaker 3: take the running backs and the committee in the good matchup,
Speaker 3: which is the Denver Broncos running backs over the Steelers
Speaker 3: running backs.
Speaker 2: Estimate over Nause you heard it. I think I would
Speaker 2: do this. I mean, obviously my prediction without McLoughlin being there,
Speaker 2: I would take If McLoughlin's active, I take him over Nause.
Speaker 2: I just are not going to be able to run
Speaker 2: super great. So I'm I'm completely with this here.
Speaker 1: Eric Santa. If I said Harris was RB thirty one,
Speaker 1: would that be too high, too low or just right?
Speaker 3: That seems right in the range because you can't like
Speaker 3: completely bury the guy, even if you don't necessarily think
Speaker 3: he's in a great spot because he does get enough volume.
Speaker 3: You think he gets touchdown equity. But I mean he's
Speaker 3: definitely gonna be ranked behind Jalen Warren, you know, base
Speaker 3: on what we've seen over the last couple weeks and
Speaker 3: especially if the Steelers are chasing points, you're going to
Speaker 3: see Jalen Warren out there catching passes from Russell Wilson,
Speaker 3: probably not from Nause Welsh.
Speaker 1: What is your number four prediction for week seventeen?
Speaker 2: All right, number four, we are going to my first
Speaker 2: touchdown boy from this past week. Isaiah likely, Isaiah likely.
Speaker 2: We're going to get back the game. We're gonna get
Speaker 2: one of those big Isaiah likely games. We're gonna get
Speaker 2: another touchdown. We're going seventy five yards. We've got a
Speaker 2: touchdown in five catches up against the Texans, which is
Speaker 2: being played on Christmas. This would be the late Christmas
Speaker 2: game here. So when you're looking at the Texans wide
Speaker 2: receivers currently giving up the fifth less least receptions going
Speaker 2: into this past week, this hasn't Again we're doing this
Speaker 2: Monday morning, so some of this data hasn't updated. But
Speaker 2: going into week sixteen, they had given up the fifth
Speaker 2: least receptions to wide receivers on sixty targets only thirty
Speaker 2: four catches. So they are giving up some big plays,
Speaker 2: but they haven't been you know, they've kind of been
Speaker 2: locking some of that down. So in a respect of
Speaker 2: also not being able to like really really run on
Speaker 2: this team, even though they're going to still do it
Speaker 2: with Dereck Henry in that play action. Where are the
Speaker 2: advantages over the last month, and what I gave you,
Speaker 2: by the way, was the last month as well. On
Speaker 2: wide receivers, they're giving up the sixth most Fantasy points
Speaker 2: to tight ends over the last month, a couple touchdowns.
Speaker 2: I likely had this touchdown this past week. He's a
Speaker 2: big breakaway play guy. I think this is a really
Speaker 2: good spot for them to get him in the slot,
Speaker 2: get him out for some of those big plays, break
Speaker 2: one of those big plays. Again. On the wide receiver side,
Speaker 2: they're giving up a really low amount of receptions, but
Speaker 2: they've given up only five hundred yards on those thirty four,
Speaker 2: So if you take the value of where they're guarding
Speaker 2: against tight ends, and Mark Andrews, by the way, has
Speaker 2: been fantastic and he's going to keep continue getting those targets.
Speaker 2: But I think this is really going to be about
Speaker 2: Likely and them locking down those wide receivers and Andrews
Speaker 2: and Likely getting open and making those big plays. And
Speaker 2: you saw Lamar Jackson was targeting him in the red
Speaker 2: zone as he likes to target his tight ends when
Speaker 2: he gets in the red zone. If they're not running,
Speaker 2: it's going to Andrews or it's going to Likely. So
Speaker 2: I like Likely to have a big step up spot
Speaker 2: here five to seventy five in a touchdown against the Texans.
Speaker 1: He's only hit seventy five receiving yards in a game
Speaker 1: twice this season, and one of them was that We
Speaker 1: one explosion, So since Week one he's only done it once.
Speaker 1: I think this is also a really nice call. Zay
Speaker 1: Flowers is not practicing. There are only two games away
Speaker 1: from playing because they're playing on Wednesday this week. So
Speaker 1: with that quick turnaround, they're talking like their optimistic Zay
Speaker 1: is going to play, but you never know just how
Speaker 1: limited is or just how the shoulder is going to
Speaker 1: You look, when we get to Wednesday morning, you know
Speaker 1: Nelson Agilore has the concussion seat. Baben played and caught
Speaker 1: a touchdown, but obviously he's been dealing with the foot
Speaker 1: injury as well. So Andrews and Likely are the two
Speaker 1: reliable healthy options in this passing team right now.
Speaker 2: And no Justice Hill. You know, my BET's completely crumbled
Speaker 2: last week. Justice Hill is one of those guys they
Speaker 2: like to have in some of those short line throw
Speaker 2: with the concussion, there's no chance he plays. Even more
Speaker 2: reason why I like Likely to be more involved in
Speaker 2: that passing game, kind of taking some of that role
Speaker 2: from Justice.
Speaker 1: They will use Likely in the screen game, for sure,
Speaker 1: they Hill is better at it, but they do like
Speaker 1: Likely in that role even as a tight end. So
Speaker 1: I really like that. I think the five catches is
Speaker 1: like definitely happening, and I could see him breaking one
Speaker 1: to get seventy five yards out of them. Ericson do
Speaker 1: you like Isaiah Likely this week?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I was going to bring up to Justice Hill
Speaker 3: point too until Wells brought it up. I think that's
Speaker 3: really key because you saw both both tight ends play
Speaker 3: pretty significant snaps. Andrews was at seventy six percent on
Speaker 3: Saturday and then you had Isaiah Likely at sixty six percent,
Speaker 3: and they combined for three red zone targets. The routes
Speaker 3: were split pretty evenly, so usually it's a case of
Speaker 3: one guy's running route the other guy's blocking, and it
Speaker 3: becomes very problematic. But with all the injuries kind of
Speaker 3: piling up for the Ravens at some of these pass
Speaker 3: catchup positions, obviously Deonta Johnson no longer factor, not like
Speaker 3: he really was anyway, But he's not coming through that
Speaker 3: door anytime soon to get targets in this offense, so
Speaker 3: Likely Again, it player that when he's gotten opportunities, right,
Speaker 3: that's always been the issue with him, When he's gotten opportunities,
Speaker 3: When he's gotten targets, like he has stepped up and delivered.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think that this makes a lot of sense.
Speaker 3: We know he's got upside attached to a passer like
Speaker 3: Lamar Jackson, and Houston's defense is pretty tough against the run.
Speaker 3: A lot of their touchdowns this year have been through
Speaker 3: the air, like that's how they've given up a lot
Speaker 3: of their production. So even if Likely doesn't get the
Speaker 3: seventy five yards necessarily, I feel like you really feel
Speaker 3: good about playing a tight end attached to Lamar Jackson
Speaker 3: has touchdown equity and if they sell out to try
Speaker 3: to stop Derek Henry, then you could see Likely falling
Speaker 3: in the end zone. So I do like that a lot.

Speaker 1: Ericson let's go to prediction number three.
Speaker 3: Chicken conquo tight end for the Tennessee Titan scores a
Speaker 3: touchdown against the Jacksonville Jaguars. So conco last week, he
Speaker 3: carried over his usage that he got two weeks ago
Speaker 3: double digit targets, he had eight with Mason Rudolph and
Speaker 3: Rudolf came him a relief of Will Levis and they
Speaker 3: carried over. He had eleven targets, thirty three percent target share,
Speaker 3: caught nine passes for eighty one yards, but he didn't score.
Speaker 3: And it's funny because on the VP Prop show, Joey
Speaker 3: p said that Nick Westbrookine and Calvin Rearley with ball score,
Speaker 3: which of course they both did, and I pushed back,
Speaker 3: It's like, well, I think it's going to be a
Speaker 3: conco that scores. And of course no touchdowns for Chicka Conggo,
Speaker 3: despite the fact that he let the team and targets
Speaker 3: have the most yards and he played nearly every snap.
Speaker 3: He played eighty five percent of the snaps, which is
Speaker 3: one of the highest of the year for him. So
Speaker 3: the Titans have really gone away from a tight end
Speaker 3: by committee when they were using some of these other players.
Speaker 3: It is really now Chicka Konko as that main tight
Speaker 3: end pass catcher and I love the matchup against the Jaguars.
Speaker 3: Third most touchdowns allowed to tight ends this season, so
Speaker 3: a Conko always led the team in targets the last
Speaker 3: two weeks, and that's because Mason Ruff has been the
Speaker 3: starting quarterback. So I think it's going to carry over
Speaker 3: here in a great matchup against a really bad Jaguars defense.
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolf has shown that he can be competent, especially
Speaker 3: in plus matchups to get the ball to his playmakers.
Speaker 3: I think a Conco's really stepped up so among like
Speaker 3: tight end streamers this week because a Conco was still
Speaker 3: available on the waiver wire. He's my number one guy
Speaker 3: that you should add this week and potentially start in
Speaker 3: a great matchup.
Speaker 1: I know, again we haven't really settled into rankings for
Speaker 1: the week yet, but like again, give me a range
Speaker 1: for a Conquo that you expect him to fall for you.
Speaker 3: I mean, he's probably going to be in the Breton
Speaker 3: Strange Jake Ferguson type of range, and it's going to
Speaker 3: come down to like matchups, I would say, you know,
Speaker 3: this week obviously sure or heading into the last week,
Speaker 3: strangers kind of like the tight end streamer d Jor
Speaker 3: and he laid an egg unfortunately against the Raiders, But
Speaker 3: a Concquo was kind of in that range similar to me,
Speaker 3: not as high in that tier, but I think that
Speaker 3: he's going to be in the summer range, probably inside
Speaker 3: definitely inside the top fifteen, and probably sneaking inside the
Speaker 3: top twelve. So I mean, he's just been hot the
Speaker 3: last two weeks and I want to ride that, especially
Speaker 3: in a great matchup.
Speaker 1: Well Chicka con Quo tight end. Let's say thirteen too high,
Speaker 1: two low? Just right?
Speaker 2: No, I think that's like just right. Like when you
Speaker 2: asked the question, in my head, I was like between
Speaker 2: ten and fifteen, fifteen is probably the floor the target
Speaker 2: share as of recent That like makes me feel really optimistic.
Speaker 2: I guess what they did in the second half too,
Speaker 2: Like that team just they like rough to why and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden it's coming back and they're
Speaker 2: doing the thing. So yeah, I think like fifteen, I'm
Speaker 2: trying to determine it was like him versus let's say
Speaker 2: Brenton Strange. Do you see a con Quo as the
Speaker 2: upside play versus tram Mean Strange as the stupid bumble.
Speaker 2: He can get a nice target share, but it's just
Speaker 2: Brian Thomas ericson when you look at that, if someone
Speaker 2: was like, Okay, Brenton Stranger or con Quo, I need
Speaker 2: to make up points which one are you siding with
Speaker 2: in that question?
Speaker 3: I think a Conquo because you've seen it with him.
Speaker 3: I mean, look, he hasn't even scored a touchdown last
Speaker 3: two weeks, right, so he's been doing it without touchdown equity.
Speaker 3: Imagine if he scores a touchdown in a matchup where
Speaker 3: the Jaguars allow a lot of touchdowns to tight ends,
Speaker 3: and it's.
Speaker 2: Just they don't like that, or they do. But I'm
Speaker 2: saying the Titans, it's just like Taji Spears. It's like
Speaker 2: everybody but him. That's my only problem. But I guess
Speaker 2: you're saying, like your point, the matchup is like really
Speaker 2: good for this to finally happen. I just don't feel
Speaker 2: like he's first or second read in the red zone.
Speaker 3: Ever, Well, you could argue that strange. I mean, he's
Speaker 3: clearly behind Brian Thomas Jr. Like he's behind Brian Thomas
Speaker 3: Junior in total targets in volume. But a Conquo he
Speaker 3: has more targets than Callan Ridley last two weeks, and
Speaker 3: Mason Rudolph is the quarterback. So I think just a
Speaker 3: target projection, I think a con Quo will out target
Speaker 3: strained because he's the number one who he's been the
Speaker 3: number one receiver on his team, and I like the
Speaker 3: matchup for him. Jacksonville defense versus Stranger's matchup against the
Speaker 3: Titans defense. I like it.
Speaker 1: Wellsh what do you got for your number three?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 2: Fingers crossed the Jordan Love made it out of the
Speaker 2: Monday night game because I'm jumping into Packers play and
Speaker 2: I'm going with Jordan Love. We're gonna go three hundred
Speaker 2: three touchdowns and well even I'm gonna throw in a
Speaker 2: little side piece here for Jayden Reed to score a
Speaker 2: touchdown going up against the Vikings. This is gonna be
Speaker 2: I guess I'd have to like analyze the slate, like
Speaker 2: when I'm staring at it, I'm not sure there's a
Speaker 2: game I care about, more like I don't care about
Speaker 2: the Niners anymore. Niners and Lions could have been a
Speaker 2: good game, it won't be. It's not Packers. Vikings is everything.
Speaker 2: That's everything that I want. So I love Jordan Love
Speaker 2: in this matchup. Also, you know you're gonna get him
Speaker 2: into a dome and you're gonna get him out of weather. Vikings.
Speaker 2: Going into this pass game, we're giving up the most
Speaker 2: passing yards to quarterbacks over the last month like a
Speaker 2: wild number. Now from a fantasy points perspective, if you're
Speaker 2: looking at that, they're not at the tippy because it's
Speaker 2: not a bunch of touchdowns. And going into this past
Speaker 2: week they had had four interceptions. But I love Jordan
Speaker 2: Love in this matchup, I think they are going to
Speaker 2: be slanging, slinging the ball and you can pass on
Speaker 2: the vikings, and I think that is exactly what they're
Speaker 2: going to do. What is the line you were saying earlier,
Speaker 2: I see forty eight and a half. I'm actually surprised
Speaker 2: because what was the game that was fifty?
Speaker 1: It was Denver Cincinnati fifty. I actually when I was
Speaker 1: putting together, you know, it's kind of preparing the read
Speaker 1: for the Draftings sports book, I was like, oh, you know,
Speaker 1: that's a great game, Packers, Vikings. That's gonna be the
Speaker 1: highest total of the week. And I went to just
Speaker 1: double check on DraftKings, and since e Denver is a
Speaker 1: point and a half higher, so they're at fifty and
Speaker 1: and like you said, I think it's forty eight and
Speaker 1: a half for green Bay, Minnesota or forty nine is
Speaker 1: what I'm seeing now. So it moved up a bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think I would play the over
Speaker 2: anything under fifty, so I'm gonna also, hell, let's go
Speaker 2: with it. Let's tag the over. The only thing I
Speaker 2: think that could hold against that is like Josh Jacobs
Speaker 2: has been incredible again knock on wood for whatever happens
Speaker 2: in the Monday night game. But maybe it's an anticipation
Speaker 2: of them being able to run and slow the game down.
Speaker 2: But you can pass. You can pass in volume against
Speaker 2: the Minnesota Vikings. So I really like Jordan Love in
Speaker 2: that spot. Christian Watson, Dobb's been getting involved, They've they've
Speaker 2: got the whole crew, They've got the entire crew, and
Speaker 2: Jordan Love is going to show off in that divisional matchup.
Speaker 2: So three hundred three touchdowns and like I said, let's
Speaker 2: throw a Jaydon Reid's score in there. Let's go with
Speaker 2: the over. Let's play it all. Game of the week.
Speaker 1: By the way, I just point of order to make
Speaker 1: sure nobody corrects me. The actual highest total the week.
Speaker 1: I hadn't scrolled all the way down to Monday. It
Speaker 1: is Detroit San Francisco that's up at fifty one for
Speaker 1: the totals under on the week. Seventeenth slate, I would tend.
Speaker 2: To total for the tick the team total for the Lions.
Speaker 3: Taking a week off from the Lions.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you might want to do that, erics and ericson.
Speaker 1: So let's assume that the Packers take care of business
Speaker 1: tonight and you know, come out of it looking relatively
Speaker 1: healthy and there's nothing wrong with the guys that Welsch
Speaker 1: METSI here for his prediction. And do you like Jordan
Speaker 1: Love having a big game, Jayden Reid scoring a touchdown?
Speaker 3: Yes, because if Jane Reid scores a touchdown week seventeen
Speaker 3: probably means he didn't do in week sixteen and Christian
Speaker 3: Watson scored instead. So love that first of all for
Speaker 3: Jayden Reed, So thank you Welch for that. And yes,
Speaker 3: the Minnesota Vikings are the one matchup that is going
Speaker 3: to force Green Bay for volume, right, because that's been
Speaker 3: the biggest issue with these receivers.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 3: We all know the super talented, we all know, ah
Speaker 3: my god, Dobbs and Reid and Tucker Craft and Christian Watson,
Speaker 3: but they all get like four targets and it's not
Speaker 3: enough to feed fantasy football managers what they want to have.
Speaker 3: But the Vikings are the one defense that creates volume
Speaker 3: for their opposing teams. We're seeing it every time that
Speaker 3: the Bears play that team. The Bears are throwing the
Speaker 3: ball all across the yard. So I like Jordan Love
Speaker 3: tier to have a ceiling performance because even in this
Speaker 3: matchup against the Saints, like again, I don't know exactly
Speaker 3: what happened, but it wouldn't be surprised if Jordan Love
Speaker 3: throws the ball twenty times, it is efficient. But they
Speaker 3: give the ball to Josh Jacobs thirty times and he
Speaker 3: scores all the touchdowns because they can just dominate with
Speaker 3: the run game. Minnesota, that's tough to do because they
Speaker 3: have a much tougher run defense, so it could force
Speaker 3: Green Bay to throw more. And so when you get
Speaker 3: those ceiling games from Jordan Love, so yeah, I really
Speaker 3: like this call. Welsh.
Speaker 1: By the way, for anybody watching on YouTube, you can
Speaker 1: see I'm starting to get blinded by the lights. I'm
Speaker 1: in my mom's office because I'm traveling for the holidays,
Speaker 1: so I don't have my usual setup, and her office
Speaker 1: you look like.
Speaker 2: A pop star. You look like you've painted part of
Speaker 2: your face.
Speaker 1: I kinda do. Her office has this like nice view
Speaker 1: of a pond in the backyard and the sun is
Speaker 1: coming off of the the East coast. Well, listen, I've
Speaker 1: been I grew up on the East Coast. I've i
Speaker 1: was born in the sun's terrible. Yeah, this is this
Speaker 1: is My right eye is getting blind. I'm gonna come
Speaker 1: away from the show like half sunburns on just a
Speaker 1: quarter of my face. Ericson, what's your number two prediction?
Speaker 3: Anthony Richardson, He's gonna throw for two hundred yards?
Speaker 2: How many attempts have this past week?
Speaker 3: This is part the bit he had eleven yea and
Speaker 3: he averaged over eleven yards per ten. That's what I'm
Speaker 3: saying here, right, So the New York Giants right defense,
Speaker 3: you can easily run the ball on. So I'm not
Speaker 3: expecting a lot of passing volume from Anthie Richardson, although
Speaker 3: the fact that the game is on the road sometimes
Speaker 3: weird things happen, especially when it's just like, oh, the
Speaker 3: Colts are going to destroy this team, YadA, YadA, YadA.
Speaker 3: I mean we saw last week they let the Titans
Speaker 3: somehow crawl back into that game when they were up
Speaker 3: massive and then you look up, this is a one
Speaker 3: score game. So maybe it's a little bit more competitive.
Speaker 3: But specifically, looking at the Giants, we were on Darnell
Speaker 3: Mooney last week. We liked him going over his receiving yards,
Speaker 3: which he did even though he didn't catch any like
Speaker 3: really deep passes from Michael Pennix. Michael Penix was targeting
Speaker 3: the ball downfield, because that's how you beat these Giants team.
Speaker 3: They're dead last terms at EPA per target on deep
Speaker 3: ball passes, and that's the one thing Anthony Ridgarson can do.
Speaker 3: He can throw the ball deep, he can chuck it downfield.
Speaker 3: It leads the NFL and deep passing percentage and average
Speaker 3: depth to throw. So I'm not saying, oh, Richardson, take
Speaker 3: the over on his deep passage or his pass attempts.
Speaker 3: I have no idea what that number is going to be,
Speaker 3: but he's he's gonna launch a couple of balls here,
Speaker 3: and if they're ever gonna hit, it's gonna be in
Speaker 3: this particular matchup. So I'm gonna take the over on Richardson. Again,
Speaker 3: his line is probably gonna be at one hundred and
Speaker 3: seventy yards or something extremely low, because yeah, that's kind
Speaker 3: of what we're working with here with me.
Speaker 2: But Uh yeah, it might be like one hundred and fifty,
Speaker 2: like you can't get out. They do not want him throw.
Speaker 2: I will tell you this though, I almost did the
Speaker 2: same thing. I almost played the same one just because
Speaker 2: the matchup is so great. They didn't need you. They
Speaker 2: did the thing that they want the most, that to
Speaker 2: protect Anthony Richardson, to make him not make stupid decisions
Speaker 2: and tap out and want to leave the game because
Speaker 2: he's tired. So what they do Jonathan Taylor and Jonathan
Speaker 2: Taylor went ballistic and he was awesome. If he which
Speaker 2: here's the only other problem. You might do the same thing.
Speaker 2: You might have another three touchdowns this week. But I
Speaker 2: like I like this call because I do think there's
Speaker 2: gonna be a couple big plays involved. And you know
Speaker 2: what I almost put in here was ad Mitchell. Watch
Speaker 2: out for Mitchell, because I mean, Reggie loves him. They
Speaker 2: want to get him the ball. He's a playmaker. If
Speaker 2: I were to have like a little side one, I'd
Speaker 2: add to this. I think I'm gonna play overs on
Speaker 2: ad Mitchell this week because this is that matchup where
Speaker 2: they can have those big plays, and I kind of
Speaker 2: think he's going to have one of those they want
Speaker 2: to get him the ball. I just like that guy,
Speaker 2: so I'm gonna take overs on him. But I like
Speaker 2: this play even though he throws eleven times.
Speaker 1: Do you guys know? And sorry if you said this.
Speaker 1: I was distracted trying to fix the blinds so I
Speaker 1: could survive.
Speaker 2: You were killing me by the way I'm watching it
Speaker 2: like you had your face up against the camera and
Speaker 2: then you had like a sun mustache.
Speaker 1: Was doing the best I could to do it subtly,
Speaker 1: which is kind of impossible. But at least I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna lose my vision after this show, So I apologize
Speaker 1: if you said this already? Do you know how many
Speaker 1: times Anthony Richardson has had two hundred passing yards this season?
Speaker 3: Ericson, isn't it a funny game? Two times?
Speaker 1: Welse?
Speaker 2: Do you have a gues say once?
Speaker 1: He's actually done it three times, but two of them
Speaker 1: were Weeks one and two he had two hundred and
Speaker 1: twelve against Houston and week one he had two hundred
Speaker 1: and four against Green Bay in Week two. Since Week
Speaker 1: three on he is only done it once. Do you
Speaker 1: remember which game it happened?
Speaker 3: Well, Jet, there's Jets.
Speaker 2: Oh yes, very good? Okay, I have a game I
Speaker 2: want to play. Since you have the stats up, how
Speaker 2: many games does he have more than fifteen completions? Let's
Speaker 2: first guest, Eric, so boys.
Speaker 3: Guess well, it's probably going to be no more than
Speaker 3: three because he's only gone over two hundred passing yards
Speaker 3: three times, So I would say two.
Speaker 2: And I guess one.
Speaker 1: It is three, but it doesn't necessarily coincide with.
Speaker 3: Wait, so what's the least amount of completions he's had
Speaker 3: going over two hundred yards?
Speaker 1: The week one, if you remember, he went nine for
Speaker 1: nineteen exactly two hundred and Twelvey.
Speaker 3: That's the stat line. In week seventeen, nine for nineteen,
Speaker 3: two hundred yards.
Speaker 1: That was when he had the big, the incredible sixty
Speaker 1: something yard pass.
Speaker 3: That's happened again. That's all I can do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was nine for nineteen a week one for
Speaker 1: two hundred and twelve yards, it was seventeen for thirty
Speaker 1: four and week two for two hundred and four yards.
Speaker 1: It's from eleven point two yards for attempt to sit
Speaker 1: from week one to week two and then and then
Speaker 1: against the Jets it was twenty for thirty for two
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy two yards, which was his best both
Speaker 1: in terms of completions and yardage on the season. So
Speaker 1: we'll see what he does against the Giants. Well, she
Speaker 1: give me your number two prediction.
Speaker 2: Number two, Jmo is gonna do it again what he
Speaker 2: did last week, and he is going to light up
Speaker 2: the San Francisco forty nine ers. We are going one
Speaker 2: hundred plus. I actually was gonna go one fifty and
Speaker 2: he just said, like one hundred and forty three. But
Speaker 2: I'm gonna go one hundred plus while also having a
Speaker 2: forty yard plus play. I'm also going to throw in
Speaker 2: first first touchdown might be in play here with Jamison Williams.
Speaker 2: You can get past that fotynd and secondary is just
Speaker 2: not that great, and you're gonna have a manra you know,
Speaker 2: playing that short in line, which is gonna take so
Speaker 2: much focus. You're gonna have Warner who is gonna give
Speaker 2: that middle of the field protection locked up on La Porta.
Speaker 2: They're going to be able to run, and that's I
Speaker 2: think the thing they're going to be the most scared of.
Speaker 2: It's attempting to stop run. Looks like they probably lost
Speaker 2: Dre Greenlaw again and they're gonna be stacked up after
Speaker 2: a couple early runs from Jamier Gibbs. They're gonna rock
Speaker 2: a play action. Jamison william is going deep. He is
Speaker 2: gonna burn past these this secondary, these safeties that are
Speaker 2: just big hitters, just big hitting safeties. You saw what
Speaker 2: Jameson Williams did this week, whereas just straight line speed,
Speaker 2: He's just not gonna be caught up. And I think
Speaker 2: the Lions are gonna do that again. I just think
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a big blowout game against the forty
Speaker 2: nine ers. He's getting targets. This is what you can
Speaker 2: do against them in general. And you know, if Tyreek
Speaker 2: Hill could catch the ball, he would have had a
Speaker 2: much bigger game. Just multiple deep, big drop passes that
Speaker 2: Jamison william is probably not gonna do. Plus, I mean,
Speaker 2: fortd Anders can be really really good tacklers, but that
Speaker 2: play they like to run with Jamison Williams where they
Speaker 2: go about fifteen in and then they just kind of
Speaker 2: set picks and let him go. That might be the
Speaker 2: play as well. Either way, Jamison Williams one hundred plus,
Speaker 2: he's gonna have a forty yard plus play. And though
Speaker 2: I'm not a watching the actual touchdown to this, I
Speaker 2: do think a first touchdown is in play against the
Speaker 2: forty nine ers, and that'll probably look you know, ten
Speaker 2: eleven to one or something like that. So those are
Speaker 2: for the betting people.
Speaker 1: I had a friend of mine ask me a start
Speaker 1: sick question yesterday morning, and I steered him away from
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams, So that was unfortunate. Erickson, What do you
Speaker 1: think about this one for Week seventeen?
Speaker 3: I mean, I was very wrong about the Lions in
Speaker 3: the entire Actually it's funny because I was watching this game,
Speaker 3: or I was watching on red Zone, I think, and
Speaker 3: I went to the other room and then I hear
Speaker 3: the screen the TV like blaring like, oh, like something
Speaker 3: big is happening. I run in and I just see
Speaker 3: Jmo just like running freely down the sideline or like
Speaker 3: down the field, and immediately picture that Simpson's gift where
Speaker 3: the guy walks into the bar and he like puts
Speaker 3: his hat down and then he picks it back up
Speaker 3: and immediately leaves the room. Literally how I felt. I
Speaker 3: was like, well, I'm done with this Lions game, Like
Speaker 3: this isn't going to work for me.
Speaker 1: Have you watched the Simpsons?
Speaker 3: Ever?
Speaker 2: I was about to say, do you know what character
Speaker 2: that was it's the.
Speaker 1: Grandpa, right, Okay? Yeah, because you said, like, yeah, that guy,
Speaker 1: I was like, does he not know?
Speaker 3: I don't know his name.
Speaker 1: I've actually I've actually not watched the Sis ever myself,
Speaker 1: but I know enough to note that that is like Grandpa.
Speaker 2: Does he have a name or is he just Abe?
Speaker 1: That could be wrong? Yeah, no, I mean it's a
Speaker 1: total blind spot for me. You know, growing up, I
Speaker 1: you know, didn't really watch you know, that kind of television,
Speaker 1: and then I just kind of had moved past. It
Speaker 1: was past the Golden Era by the time I was
Speaker 1: old enough to be interested in a show like that,
Speaker 1: and I just turned to other other shows. So it's
Speaker 1: definitely a blind spot for me.
Speaker 2: Side note, What do you think is the most shameful show?
Speaker 2: If you haven't watched that? People will not let go.
Speaker 1: What do you think is by the way, it is Abe?
Speaker 1: I got it right, I just looked it up, so
Speaker 1: oh good take.
Speaker 2: So what do you think is the number one shame
Speaker 2: show if you haven't watched it? People just gasp because
Speaker 2: I think mine is Seinfeld. I'm not a Seinfeld guy.
Speaker 2: I never watched Sign. I watch a couple of episodes,
Speaker 2: I know but it's not my thing, and I feel
Speaker 2: like everyone he gets very worked up about that. Is
Speaker 2: that number one? Or with the Simpsons like Trounce.
Speaker 1: I think Seinfeld is a really good call there. I
Speaker 1: am a huge Seinfeld fan, so that one I know
Speaker 1: very well. But I think that's when I can imagine
Speaker 1: like getting a gasp from it. From some of the
Speaker 1: like not comedies, you get into some of the like
Speaker 1: like The Wire. You know, people are always surprised like
Speaker 1: I've seen a couple episodes, but I haven't finished it
Speaker 1: all the way through, like I want to know some
Speaker 1: of those big ones people who people who like Game
Speaker 1: of Thrones and I am one of them, like are like, oh,
Speaker 1: you got to watch it. But I don't think people
Speaker 1: are like taken aback when you haven't seen it. It's
Speaker 1: more just like.
Speaker 2: Breaking Bad to me is the one where it's like
Speaker 2: breaking bad and breaking back. Let's ask ericson how many
Speaker 2: of any of these shows have you watched?
Speaker 3: I watched mostly all these you haven't named. I haven't watched.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think like you are a Seinfeld guy truly
Speaker 1: truly probably like friends in the office, like for for
Speaker 1: my generation at least, that people will be like, holy cow,
Speaker 1: you haven't seen those that's insane.
Speaker 2: What's more offensive to not watch Breaking Bad? Seinfeld or
Speaker 2: those two or that what I was gonna.
Speaker 3: Say different like show I feel like they're on the
Speaker 3: different ends of the spectrum. Or Breaking Bad is like
Speaker 3: something you like need to like lock in and focus binging,
Speaker 3: where Seinfeld you would just like have on in the
Speaker 3: background while you're doing something else.
Speaker 2: Because it's like people are gonna let us know in
Speaker 2: the comments, what's the show that is the most offensive?
Speaker 2: That's something This is.
Speaker 1: A pretty like male skewed conversation as well. You know,
Speaker 1: this is a lot of shows that like my guy
Speaker 1: friends talk about. I have a lot of like female
Speaker 1: friends who talk about like grays and that I mean
Speaker 1: and not that you know men can't enjoy those shows too.
Speaker 1: But I wonder if like, depending on kind of the demographic,
Speaker 1: you would get a different answer from people that are
Speaker 1: shocked you haven't seen something.
Speaker 2: But yeah we're gonna find out.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well we'll see what the what the folks say
Speaker 1: in the comments. I'm really I'm really happy with myself
Speaker 1: that I pulled that Abe name because I have seen
Speaker 1: one episode of The Simpsons ever, which really it was
Speaker 1: the one where the gift from it that people see
Speaker 1: is like where Homer's eating a lot of donuts, like
Speaker 1: getting like four donuts.
Speaker 2: All the episode. Yeah you okay, so this is a
Speaker 2: battle here, me Seinfeld versus you Simpsons. I think Simpsons
Speaker 2: is insane that you haven't seen. I guess culturally, like
Speaker 2: like if you're like twenty five, maybe you didn't grow
Speaker 2: up on the Simpsons, but I don't know.
Speaker 1: I'm a little older than twenty five. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: mean it was like just a hair. I mean, I
Speaker 1: definitely have friends my age you have watched it. It's
Speaker 1: like it's not like people my age can't have seen
Speaker 1: the Simpsons. I just kind of missed that boat and
Speaker 1: then didn't ever really circle back to it. And now
Speaker 1: it's like, what, am I going to go watch thirty
Speaker 1: seasons worth to catch up?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: Probably not?
Speaker 3: Yeah you could, Yeah, You're already so behind. It's like
Speaker 3: I'll never catch up.
Speaker 1: Anyway, exactly.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I mean that's like similar with like reality shows, like
Speaker 1: not that I'm that into them, but like I have
Speaker 1: a friend who's rewatching for the first time all of Survivor,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, I'm not going to watch forty seven
Speaker 1: seasons of you can.
Speaker 3: Watch compilations of someone that already did it, and then
Speaker 3: you can watch it like six hours a.
Speaker 2: Twenty minute video breaking down thirty seasons of something I
Speaker 2: love that rock Stars.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's That's a lot we do on New
Speaker 1: Year's Day now, right, she's gonna binge the Simpsons episode.
Speaker 1: I yeah, we should. We should make it a pack
Speaker 1: for twenty twenty five that will each knock one of
Speaker 1: these shows off our list that we we kind of
Speaker 1: owe it to ourselves to watch. I completely lost where
Speaker 1: we were on our Jamison.
Speaker 2: With William burning everybody.
Speaker 1: Did anybody else have any other thoughts at Jamison?
Speaker 2: I'm just surprised, amazing.
Speaker 3: Well, she didn't have anything to say about Jwan Jennings
Speaker 3: back to back down weeks. But I mean, he's got
Speaker 3: a bounce he's playing. It's right, like listen, he's got
Speaker 3: a bounce back. He has to buddy.
Speaker 2: You know that was in my head. You know, it's
Speaker 2: the first thing I woke up to. But here's the problem.
Speaker 2: They're done. I didn't even know they were eliminated and
Speaker 2: when they played, but it was earlier game. They're eliminated.
Speaker 2: They're planned for nothing. How funny is it when it's
Speaker 2: the most, when nothing matters anymore, Deebo steps up, Deebo
Speaker 2: has his one game. As soon as they're eliminated, nothing matters,
Speaker 2: and no one cares anymore. That team doesn't care anymore.
Speaker 2: You had George Kittle talking about like, well there's still
Speaker 2: two games and if there's football in front of me,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna play, and they're just they stink like
Speaker 2: party's not making good decisions. He's making bad throws. They're
Speaker 2: not blocking for him. They don't have a running game.
Speaker 2: They can't establish a running game. They can't establish the
Speaker 2: pass game. Juwan Jennings, you can pass against. The Lions
Speaker 2: is in a great spot. I just don't know if
Speaker 2: brock Purty is gonna be upright the entire game. I
Speaker 2: don't know how hard they're trying. I think they're gonna
Speaker 2: get blown out. I think they are gonna get demoleg
Speaker 2: They're playing for nothing. They might have an top ten
Speaker 2: pick in the NFL draft this year. What are we
Speaker 2: talking about. They're gonna get blown out? What do we
Speaker 2: have an early line on it? I'm gonna look here,
Speaker 2: spread Lions by three and a half. I'm gonna ladder
Speaker 2: that up to ten. That's insane. I'm going to let also,
Speaker 2: brock Purty sucks at home. He's like the worst quarterback
Speaker 2: at home, and they're at home. I'm going to I'm
Speaker 2: gonna bet it. As soon as we're done with this
Speaker 2: three and a half, four and a half half, I'm
Speaker 2: going up to nine and a half. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: play the ten. I'm gonna gowhere. Bet every every single
Speaker 2: thing I have in my account, everything I want off
Speaker 2: of my first touchdown parlay, I'm betting on that.
Speaker 1: I guess all the way is maybe like Detroit is
Speaker 1: not going to put everything they have into this game
Speaker 1: because they're you know, they're gonna have a short week
Speaker 1: ahead of the next week, and that's the week to
Speaker 1: really like clinch the on seed division. Like the Vikings
Speaker 1: keep winning, like Week eighteen is what they're saving it for.
Speaker 1: Like I can't think of another reason why what if.
Speaker 2: The Packers win? If the if the if the Packers
Speaker 2: win and beat the Vikings this weekend and then Monday
Speaker 2: comes around, Monday could be critical. They could win, they
Speaker 2: could clinch.
Speaker 1: Minnesota wouldn't be able to win a tiebreak I haven't
Speaker 1: looked into that.
Speaker 3: So I'm pretty sure. So the Vikings play the Lions
Speaker 3: the last week, yeah eighteen, and the winner of that game,
Speaker 3: assuming that both teams win in week seventeen.
Speaker 1: But if, but if the Vikings lose this week and
Speaker 1: the Lions win, will we eighteen matter? I I don't
Speaker 1: know that it does or doesn't. I haven't checked.
Speaker 2: They're both thirteen and two right now, so it would
Speaker 2: because then I guess, if I don't know, I to
Speaker 2: lose and the Lions win. If the Vikings win, I
Speaker 2: believe I'm looking, they would have the same conference record. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know that. I think that might come down
Speaker 2: to like fractional issues here. It doesn't matter. The forty
Speaker 2: nine ers are Trochio original, so many different plays, it
Speaker 2: doesn't Yeah, back to the original point. They're gonna Dan Campbell.
Speaker 2: They went for a fourth and four and they're thirteen
Speaker 2: and one or whatever the hell they are this weekend.
Speaker 2: They're not gonna lay down for the forty nine ers
Speaker 2: to play into next weekend. They are going to foot
Speaker 2: to the gas. They're gonna put a forty spot, a
Speaker 2: forty burger on the forty nine ers. You know what
Speaker 2: laddered up to twenty the nineteen and a half in
Speaker 2: favor of the Lions. They're gonna kill them.
Speaker 3: They don't make glad. It's that big.
Speaker 1: Well, well, I want to let everybody know that they
Speaker 1: have the chance to help shape the Fantasy Pros Football Podcast.

Speaker 1: and we definitely thank everybody for listening here all season
Speaker 1: long and especially you know during the holidays. We've got
Speaker 1: one prediction each left remaining ericson what's your number one
Speaker 1: for Week seventeen?
Speaker 3: Well, the real b rob please stand Brian Robinson versus
Speaker 3: p John Robinson Falcons Commanders. I believe this game is
Speaker 3: being played on Sunday Night Football, but it will not
Speaker 3: be Kirk Cousins revenge game. No, It's going to be
Speaker 3: Michael Pennix under center for the Falcons, and I think
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson for the Commander, is going to bounce back.
Speaker 3: He had one of the worst games you could possibly
Speaker 3: ask for. Fro May started running back against the Eagles,
Speaker 3: could not run the ball. He had ten carries for
Speaker 3: twenty four yards. He had two fumbles. So it was
Speaker 3: an absolute disaster for Brian Robinson in a spot that
Speaker 3: yet we knew that the Eagles were was a tougher matchup,
Speaker 3: but it was one that he had produced in earlier
Speaker 3: this season, so I thought that he was okay, like
Speaker 3: a lowland RB two, but I mean he completely underwhelmed
Speaker 3: and tanked in the Fantasy Football semis. But I think
Speaker 3: he bounces his back here. I think that the matchup
Speaker 3: against the Atlanta Falcons is much better than against the Eagles.
Speaker 3: In the last eleven running backs to face Atlanta have
Speaker 3: gone over their rushing yards projection. I mean, look at
Speaker 3: the Falcons, they've been better against running backs over the
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. But to me, it's a lot
Speaker 3: of the opponents that they've played not exactly the best.
Speaker 3: I mean, the Giants, the Raiders, like some of these
Speaker 3: teams that don't really have great offenses that haven't really
Speaker 3: been able to establish any type of run game against
Speaker 3: the Atlanta Falcons. But some of these better teams, I
Speaker 3: think Atlanta will follows more into that category. I think
Speaker 3: Brian Robinson's going to have a bounced back performance. So
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say he goes over one hundred and twenty
Speaker 3: five yards from scrimmage. I think he scores a touchdown
Speaker 3: against the Falcons. Again, without Austin Eckler, he still has
Speaker 3: an elite role in this offense. Like he still played
Speaker 3: sixty three percent of the snaps. He got two of
Speaker 3: his three targets for seventeen yards, so he's still involved
Speaker 3: in the receiving game, and he still sees all the
Speaker 3: red zone usage. He went zero for three for rushing
Speaker 3: inside the red zone against the Eagles. I don't think
Speaker 3: it's gonna happen two weeks in a row. Are we
Speaker 3: really going to see double digit touchdowns from a Lamendes,
Speaker 3: Aikias and Jamison Crowder who I didn't even know was
Speaker 3: on the Commanders again until he scored two touchdowns last week.
Speaker 3: That's not gonna happen again. So I think Brian Robinson's gonna
Speaker 3: get back of the end zone, get back to producing
Speaker 3: at that level that he's produced mostly all year long.
Speaker 3: So if you though b Jon Robinson still might outscore him,
Speaker 3: I think Brian Robinson's going to have himself a day
Speaker 3: against the Falcons.
Speaker 1: It's not gonna matter for me if Brian Robinson has
Speaker 1: a good day, because he absolutely finished me in half
Speaker 1: my leagues this week. I had so much invested in
Speaker 1: Brian Robinson all season long, and it was a good pick,
Speaker 1: you know, in the long term looking back, but it
Speaker 1: really cooked me in Week sixteen.
Speaker 3: That was that was sure not the only one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm sure I'm not. Well, do you like Brian
Speaker 1: Robinson in this battle of b Robinson running backs?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, if I'm picking between them, I'm gonna.
Speaker 1: Take Yeah, I think like that. I just meant to
Speaker 1: you like Brian Robinson and he happens to be facing Sean.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think they're going to try to like get
Speaker 2: him back and more more involved and you know, get
Speaker 2: the confidence going. It was funny like earlier there, I
Speaker 2: remember us talking about like Jeremy McNichols and he doesn't
Speaker 2: do anything, and they started throwing him the ball because
Speaker 2: they just couldn't trust Brian Robinson. But you're not going
Speaker 2: to get these massive, big touchdown games every single week
Speaker 2: from Jayden Daniels and it's gonna be like you said,
Speaker 2: like it was really really rough man up from a run.
Speaker 2: And that was also why, like stupidly I wasn't super
Speaker 2: into Jade Daniels. Like the Egals defense is really tough.
Speaker 2: It just got a lot worse when you had Jalen
Speaker 2: Hurts out and then being able to control the offense
Speaker 2: even more more opportunities for the commanders. But yeah, I
Speaker 2: think Brian Robinson is a much better spot this week.
Speaker 2: They're going to give him the rock, they throw them
Speaker 2: the ball, They're gonna get him some touchdowns, get that
Speaker 2: confidence back up off the two fumbles. So I'm with
Speaker 2: this one.
Speaker 1: Let's look at your final prediction here, Welsh Final one.
Speaker 2: Mike Evans incentive time. We are in Mike Evans' incentive
Speaker 2: range and do you remember what they were at you
Speaker 2: rattled them off recently on the spot. It was like,
Speaker 2: it's like eighteen catches and two or three hundred yards
Speaker 2: he needed to get to. He's under two hundred yards
Speaker 2: for the.
Speaker 3: Ninety I think it's like ninety one yards per game
Speaker 3: the next.
Speaker 2: Two weeks, Yeah, it's he has eight hundred and eighteen,
Speaker 2: so it's like, yeah, essentially ninety It is actually ninety
Speaker 2: one on there, and then there's some reception prop I
Speaker 2: think he's got to get to seventy four an incentive
Speaker 2: as far in his contract and as well as a touchdown.
Speaker 2: So I'm saying all of this is this past week
Speaker 2: seemed like a really good spot where he was going
Speaker 2: to be involved on the touchdown side. Did not happen.
Speaker 2: This coming week, they're going up against the Atlanta Falcons,
Speaker 2: who going into this past week were number two in
Speaker 2: touchdowns given up to wide receivers. Also from the fantasy perspective,
Speaker 2: their top six in points given up. Mike Evans is
Speaker 2: scoring two touchdowns this week. We are going to lock in.
Speaker 2: He is going to lock in. Mike Evans is going
Speaker 2: to get a litany of targets up against Atlanta and
Speaker 2: we are going to get Mike Evans scoring two touchdowns.
Speaker 2: It's as easy as Baker Mayfield only looking his way.
Speaker 2: We went Bucky this past week. Hopefully we get I actually,
Speaker 2: I guess I went a buck scoring two. This week.
Speaker 2: We're going another Buck scoring two. But it's Mike Evans
Speaker 2: in incentive range for the final two weeks.
Speaker 1: Ericson what do you think about Evans? Where you going
Speaker 1: to have him right to this week?
Speaker 3: You think top five? I mean all the incentives are there,
Speaker 3: and well, so I'm not sure if you misspoke. You
Speaker 3: meant to say Panthers, right, because that's who Panthers.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm sorry, I say no products trying to make
Speaker 2: sure I'm glad you did.
Speaker 3: Yeah. So, yeah, I mean this is a matchup that, again,
Speaker 3: Caroline is a team that you usually target for you
Speaker 3: know running backs, but it's really hey, however, you want
Speaker 3: to score, make your choice, right, And and the Buccaneers
Speaker 3: their number one priorities like, hey, get Mike Evans into
Speaker 3: the end zone, like that's what they want to do
Speaker 3: more than anything else. So yeah, Carolina, again, if it
Speaker 3: wasn't for Marvin Harrison unable to catch all these fades,
Speaker 3: he would be scoring touch. I think it's the Panthers too,
Speaker 3: So I think this makes a lot of sense, especially
Speaker 3: Kate Auten misses again if he's out, just focuses on
Speaker 3: on Mike Evans's that number one target. So yeah, it's
Speaker 3: just it's always funny because it's gonna be interesting to
Speaker 3: see what the books open as his receiving yards, Like
Speaker 3: I think the last line of closed it like eighty
Speaker 3: two and a half yards, which eighty four is like
Speaker 3: you're just like, this is such a big number, but
Speaker 3: it's like exactly because that's the pace that he has
Speaker 3: to be on, So that's why they put it at
Speaker 3: that number.
Speaker 1: So yes, so no, does he get a thousand, Yes,
Speaker 1: he's gonna do it.
Speaker 2: So and by the way he's gonna do it, I
Speaker 2: put myself in a rabbit hole as soon as I said,
Speaker 2: the Falcons in my head, and then I started looking,
Speaker 2: by the way, it's even better. The Carolina Panthers giving
Speaker 2: up the most receiving touchdowns and I believe it's like
Speaker 2: twenty plus on the season to wide receiver. So it's
Speaker 2: a phenomenal matchup. I undersold myself for whatever reason. I
Speaker 2: was staring at the Falcons and I said that, But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's an even better matchup. And Mike, you gotta you
Speaker 2: gotta smash the Mike Evins stuff, like right when it
Speaker 2: opens up, because to your point, it's probably gonna rise
Speaker 2: five yards. If they do anything under eighty, it's gonna
Speaker 2: go back up. I bet you it's gonna push eighty
Speaker 2: five to ninety close to close because of like you said,
Speaker 2: they got to get to that ninety marker, and that's
Speaker 2: why we're so close to one thousand. There is one
Speaker 2: touchdown that's a part of the incentives, and I just
Speaker 2: I gotta go and look, I have a bookmarkd what
Speaker 2: the reception side of it is. But he's really close
Speaker 2: to one of the levels of receptions, really close to
Speaker 2: the yards, and he needs that touchdown. So we're going
Speaker 2: too against an abysmal Carolina Panthers defense.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 1: The Panthers give up receiving touchdowns to all the good
Speaker 1: players except Trey McBride for some reason. All right, we'll
Speaker 1: get out of here on that prediction. Thank you everybody
Speaker 1: for tuning in. Thank you again for everybody like us
Speaker 1: who've been listening all season. We will be with you
Speaker 1: throughout this week to help you in the Fantasy championship games.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have a few shows that we're not doing
Speaker 1: that we might usually do, just in terms of some
Speaker 1: housekeeping to let you know what to expect. But we've
Speaker 1: obviously got this show coming out on Tuesday again. We
Speaker 1: did record this Monday morning, and then we're gonna have
Speaker 1: our usual Thursday show and Friday show as well at
