1 00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:01,120 Speaker 1: Ladies and Jules. 2 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:07,200 Speaker 2: You want experience during your football season, well, buckle up, 3 00:00:07,240 --> 00:00:10,760 Speaker 2: sweet cheeks. What's always We've got all the experience in 4 00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:12,240 Speaker 2: the world. 5 00:00:12,400 --> 00:00:15,480 Speaker 1: This is I want your flex. 6 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,160 Speaker 2: With Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon. Mike and Dan break 7 00:00:18,200 --> 00:00:21,919 Speaker 2: down everything you need to set your lineups, from position 8 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:25,480 Speaker 2: rankings to starts and sits. The guys help you make 9 00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:29,840 Speaker 2: those hard decisions. And now let's get your flex sod. 10 00:00:30,080 --> 00:00:34,320 Speaker 2: Here's Dan Bayer and Mike Harmon Week fourteen. 11 00:00:34,400 --> 00:00:36,600 Speaker 3: If I want your flex, I call it winning time. 12 00:00:36,680 --> 00:00:39,440 Speaker 3: Hitting Mike up at swollen Domeni can find Ian Roddy 13 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 3: at Ian Roddy Underscore. We'll have some survivor picks, some 14 00:00:44,120 --> 00:00:47,920 Speaker 3: points of palooza. Ian's gotta streaming defenses. But we always 15 00:00:47,960 --> 00:00:51,360 Speaker 3: start with Mike's rankings. But even before we get to that, 16 00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,480 Speaker 3: Cowboys and Lions put on quite a show on Thursday night. Mike, 17 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:59,080 Speaker 3: Lions get the big victory, some big point games for 18 00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:03,400 Speaker 3: guy like Jim Gibbs. George Pickens' effort is question ceedee 19 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:06,759 Speaker 3: Lambs knocked out. So maybe even more storylines to go 20 00:01:07,480 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 3: outside of the game or after the game than we 21 00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:10,320 Speaker 3: had coming into it. 22 00:01:10,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: Yeah, just craziness. All around. 23 00:01:12,480 --> 00:01:16,200 Speaker 4: I mean the Cede Lambs scenario scary. We were on 24 00:01:16,319 --> 00:01:19,920 Speaker 4: air Smith and I doing our show as that happened, 25 00:01:19,920 --> 00:01:22,200 Speaker 4: and you saw the hands and it's like art did 26 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 4: he get caught up? And it's like the way he hit, 27 00:01:24,680 --> 00:01:26,160 Speaker 4: the way he can tour it, It's like, all right, 28 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,399 Speaker 4: what happened? Then you see the replay immediately see the 29 00:01:28,440 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 4: fencer's posture and he was up on the sideline. So 30 00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:36,920 Speaker 4: hopefully a short lived thing for him, but you know, 31 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,120 Speaker 4: get back on the field, you know, get get the 32 00:01:39,160 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 4: little extra break here. But was having himself a huge 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,560 Speaker 4: day six for one twenty one. I was following you 34 00:01:44,600 --> 00:01:48,160 Speaker 4: were a Guillotine League team there, Dan between that and 35 00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:52,560 Speaker 4: Jamiir Gibbs. You had yourself a day seven for seventy 36 00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 4: seven and then you get the forty three yards. Yeah, 37 00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 4: I mean it wasn't he wasn't running gangbusters. That keep 38 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 4: showing very safd like he's not running like that except 39 00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 4: for the one run. But forty three and three for 40 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:09,239 Speaker 4: a huge day. Both quarterbacks we expected huge things. Detroit's 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,920 Speaker 4: defensive front did a great job on Prescott a lot 42 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 4: of yards, but boned up when it mattered. Five sacks 43 00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:18,639 Speaker 4: on the day two interceptions, which is the old if 44 00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 4: you actually watched the games. Neither of them were Prescott's fault, 45 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,320 Speaker 4: and I'm not sure the second one was legitimately an interception, 46 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 4: but they all count just the same, and we move on. 47 00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 4: The George Pickens story is really the one that takes 48 00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:33,359 Speaker 4: on legs beyond the fantasy world going forward. 49 00:02:33,440 --> 00:02:33,720 Speaker 5: Yeah. 50 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,120 Speaker 3: Absolutely, I have a share of Pickins in one of 51 00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:38,520 Speaker 3: my leagues, and that bomb. I didn't know what was 52 00:02:38,560 --> 00:02:40,880 Speaker 3: going on in terms of the effort there. 53 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:41,200 Speaker 5: I don't know. 54 00:02:41,320 --> 00:02:43,760 Speaker 3: I thought the defender is in his way. It looked 55 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:45,680 Speaker 3: like he quit, But also what doesn't help is that 56 00:02:45,720 --> 00:02:47,720 Speaker 3: it looked like he quit in a couple of routes earlier, 57 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,680 Speaker 3: so maybe it made that one look worse. But the 58 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:54,320 Speaker 3: Cowboys continue to be a story now a long shot 59 00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:57,400 Speaker 3: to make the postseason, while the Lions put themselves at 60 00:02:57,480 --> 00:02:59,880 Speaker 3: least in position to continue to try to break through 61 00:03:00,200 --> 00:03:02,720 Speaker 3: and get into the field of seven for the NFC. 62 00:03:02,880 --> 00:03:05,359 Speaker 6: I love that he picked the week that I called 63 00:03:05,400 --> 00:03:07,440 Speaker 6: him better than Ceedee Lamb to do this. 64 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: Wow, I mean, swe. 65 00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,680 Speaker 3: Did you know it was also on the heels of 66 00:03:12,720 --> 00:03:14,960 Speaker 3: where I said Ceede Lamb was a better route runner. 67 00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:17,200 Speaker 3: But I'm going to just throw one up to Pickens 68 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:18,720 Speaker 3: and let him get it, and then he just lets 69 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:19,400 Speaker 3: it hit the turf. 70 00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 4: So that yeah, that play just a million times? Was 71 00:03:22,800 --> 00:03:24,480 Speaker 4: he thinking he was No, that guy was by him 72 00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:26,400 Speaker 4: and kind of walking past him. He wasn't going to 73 00:03:26,440 --> 00:03:28,840 Speaker 4: get blown up. Yeah, if he made an effort on 74 00:03:28,880 --> 00:03:31,760 Speaker 4: the ball. Was curious. The other side of things, though, 75 00:03:32,320 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 4: the Aman Ross Saint Brown activation and eventually a six 76 00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:39,800 Speaker 4: catch ninety two yard game. I wonder how many people 77 00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:44,280 Speaker 4: benched him because the early day reports were not positive 78 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,440 Speaker 4: at all, and then all of a sudden he's out 79 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:50,080 Speaker 4: there catching the first pass, waving his arms thumbs up. 80 00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:53,200 Speaker 1: Yeah, this was like, oh okay, that escalated quickly. 81 00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,920 Speaker 3: I guarantee people didn't want to get caught with their 82 00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:58,480 Speaker 3: pants down, especially in what is the end of the 83 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:02,080 Speaker 3: regular season for many You mentioned the guillotine. I think 84 00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:05,280 Speaker 3: that Ryan Berschinger, our teammate at Fox, had him in 85 00:04:05,280 --> 00:04:07,840 Speaker 3: guillotine and didn't play him because you didn't want him 86 00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 3: to go out there and not be effective. But then, 87 00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,119 Speaker 3: i'm an Ross said after the game that he knew 88 00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:14,600 Speaker 3: yesterday he was going to play. Now, I guess they 89 00:04:14,600 --> 00:04:18,400 Speaker 3: could be coy with it, because if he's questionable, he's questionable. 90 00:04:18,480 --> 00:04:22,640 Speaker 3: But I wouldn't have played him if I had a 91 00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:27,000 Speaker 3: decent option next to him. So like in a guillotine league, 92 00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,479 Speaker 3: maybe your league is loaded. If it's in my normal league, 93 00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 3: I probably would have just had to throw him in there, 94 00:04:31,640 --> 00:04:34,520 Speaker 3: because that's who you're kind of hoping for. So hopefully 95 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,200 Speaker 3: people did, but it was right up until the inactives 96 00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:39,480 Speaker 3: ninety minutes prior that we weren't service status. 97 00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's funny you mentioned just where we're at in 98 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,240 Speaker 4: the guillotine leagues. Right for those that don't know, you're 99 00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,640 Speaker 4: you chop each week, you know, always trying to educate 100 00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:51,760 Speaker 4: and inform, and folks haven't seen this format, which means 101 00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:55,719 Speaker 4: you're down to five teams if you played the full season. 102 00:04:56,160 --> 00:04:59,960 Speaker 4: So while not every roster is going to be stacked, 103 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,720 Speaker 4: some of the budget management and waiver wins losses along 104 00:05:03,760 --> 00:05:07,440 Speaker 4: the way, you're certainly at a position where maybe you 105 00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:09,880 Speaker 4: would have had another option that you said is equal 106 00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 4: to or better than in a standard league, would add 107 00:05:12,760 --> 00:05:15,799 Speaker 4: no choice but to just say, okay, I'll roll the dice. Yeah, 108 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,560 Speaker 4: it's still the Cowboys defense that hasn't proven against a 109 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,440 Speaker 4: really good opponent that they're ready for operations shut down. 110 00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:26,400 Speaker 4: But yeah, just a tough spot, no question, especially on 111 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:27,240 Speaker 4: the Thursday night. 112 00:05:27,560 --> 00:05:30,559 Speaker 3: Well, let's get into it. The week fourteen rankings. Mike Carmen, 113 00:05:30,560 --> 00:05:33,120 Speaker 3: Who are your top five quarterbacks heading into the weekend. 114 00:05:33,600 --> 00:05:35,960 Speaker 4: Some of the our usual suspects make the list, a 115 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:39,520 Speaker 4: couple of counterintuited plays, but let's go Josh Allen going 116 00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,680 Speaker 4: u against Cincinnati. Well, this is easy, right, We're talking 117 00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:44,960 Speaker 4: about one of the most generous defenses going out there 118 00:05:45,080 --> 00:05:47,800 Speaker 4: back to back subpar game. So a little bit of 119 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 4: nervousness in trepidation as to what we're going to get 120 00:05:50,839 --> 00:05:51,720 Speaker 4: because he hasn't. 121 00:05:51,440 --> 00:05:52,720 Speaker 1: Put the cape on every week. 122 00:05:52,800 --> 00:05:55,360 Speaker 4: But he's still number one for the season, averaging about 123 00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:56,720 Speaker 4: twenty three and a half points per game. 124 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:58,640 Speaker 1: I have a number two at Joe Burrow. 125 00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:02,320 Speaker 4: Nineteen and a point two his return against Baltimore. Buffalo 126 00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 4: second best against quarterbacks, but as we know Joe Burrow, 127 00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,560 Speaker 4: he's a different animal and he should have the full 128 00:06:09,600 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 4: complement of receivers at his disposal. Matt Stafford going up 129 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:17,159 Speaker 4: against Arizona. He's seventh overall, averaging twenty fantasy points per week. 130 00:06:17,279 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 4: Roller coaster the last four weeks. He's done the well 131 00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:24,680 Speaker 4: kind of Jamier Gibbs right, massive games with three touchdowns 132 00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:25,680 Speaker 4: a couple of times. 133 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:27,960 Speaker 1: And then in between. We're gonna take the week off. 134 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 4: Same thing with Stafford twenty six thirteen to twenty three, 135 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:34,800 Speaker 4: thirteen point six, Arizona tenth best, but looking to make 136 00:06:34,839 --> 00:06:37,560 Speaker 4: some hey here, Baker Mayfield going up against Orleans. Still 137 00:06:38,040 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 4: no Mike Evans, still no McMillan just yet, only one 138 00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:44,960 Speaker 4: twenty point game in his last six and New Orleans 139 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:47,200 Speaker 4: eleventh best. But this is one of those rubber meets 140 00:06:47,279 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 4: the road. I'm going for them being a big favorite 141 00:06:51,480 --> 00:06:54,039 Speaker 4: at home that this is a game that they get over. 142 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:58,000 Speaker 4: The return of Bucky Irving last week reopens the offense 143 00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,600 Speaker 4: to a degree not for everybody, though, we'll get into 144 00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,400 Speaker 4: as the show continues, but Jalen Hurt's finishing it out. 145 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 1: Going up against the Chargers. 146 00:07:06,839 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 4: You're looking at some middling fantasy performances overall these last 147 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 4: couple of weeks, and the Chargers are the third best 148 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 4: against quarterbacks, giving up just fourteen fantasy points per game. 149 00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:23,520 Speaker 4: I'm expecting a big effort out of Philly in this one. 150 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,000 Speaker 4: I don't think they lay down just yet. The Chargers 151 00:07:27,120 --> 00:07:29,600 Speaker 4: have their injury issues of their own that we'll get to. 152 00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 4: But for Hurtz, we still have the potential of that 153 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:36,880 Speaker 4: big game, still third overall at nearly twenty one Fantasy 154 00:07:36,880 --> 00:07:40,200 Speaker 4: points per game on the year, so looking for him 155 00:07:40,280 --> 00:07:41,000 Speaker 4: to make some hay. 156 00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 3: You mentioned Joe Burrow, your second quarterback getting all of 157 00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:48,040 Speaker 3: his weapons back. Yes, T Higgins has cleared concussion protocols, 158 00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,120 Speaker 3: so Higgins will be available to the Bengals in what 159 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 3: is a game that is very intriguing. But because of 160 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,120 Speaker 3: all the divisional matchups that we have this week, with 161 00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 3: so much on the line, even Bengals Bills gets a 162 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,960 Speaker 3: little bit overshadowed when people are focusing on Raven Steelers 163 00:08:02,960 --> 00:08:05,600 Speaker 3: and Mike your Bears taking on the Packers. But yeah, 164 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,280 Speaker 3: just some really great games. Something we talked about earlier 165 00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,360 Speaker 3: in the week in our earlier podcast, which we always 166 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:12,440 Speaker 3: by the way, I recommend you go back and listen 167 00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:16,360 Speaker 3: to Let's look ahead, all right. Jamiir Gibbs played Thursday night. 168 00:08:16,720 --> 00:08:19,360 Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey is on buy. Who is going to be 169 00:08:19,400 --> 00:08:22,560 Speaker 3: the top running back four Week fourteen? For Mike Harmon, 170 00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:24,200 Speaker 3: it is we had. 171 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 4: To find another guy, so it becomes Jonathan Taylor. He 172 00:08:27,800 --> 00:08:32,040 Speaker 4: slides back up. He's only a thirteen point six point 173 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 4: week thirteen. But you know, even without the benefit of 174 00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:39,520 Speaker 4: the passing game, and that's one of the downsides in 175 00:08:39,559 --> 00:08:44,240 Speaker 4: the Jonathan Taylor world. And certainly Indianapolis's offense hasn't been 176 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: robust here. We've got some sub ten games for Taylor recently. 177 00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,120 Speaker 4: Jacksonville also a top five against the run. But Taylor 178 00:08:53,200 --> 00:08:57,280 Speaker 4: usually performs pretty well in these divisional contests, and I'm 179 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,199 Speaker 4: expecting him to take on a big warkload on the 180 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 4: road here over under a forty seven. India slight road 181 00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,520 Speaker 4: favorite in this one. James Cook coming up again. Cincinnati 182 00:09:07,640 --> 00:09:10,160 Speaker 4: is second. Last three games, we're looking at a nineteen, 183 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,480 Speaker 4: a twenty point four, and a seventeen point seven, and 184 00:09:13,520 --> 00:09:17,360 Speaker 4: the Bengals the worst against opposing rushers, so let's take 185 00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 4: advantage of that. Devon Ahchen over the last four starts 186 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:25,080 Speaker 4: averaging over twenty two fantasy points per game, and we're 187 00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 4: looking at some big back to back efforts for him. 188 00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,000 Speaker 4: Jets six most fantasy points allow per game, seventh most 189 00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:34,280 Speaker 4: rushing yards allowed per game, and as we know, one 190 00:09:34,640 --> 00:09:37,199 Speaker 4: little hint of daylight and away they go. Miami is 191 00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:41,720 Speaker 4: suddenly playing some interesting football here, A big divisional road 192 00:09:41,800 --> 00:09:44,880 Speaker 4: tilt for them gets the Jets team that you know, 193 00:09:44,880 --> 00:09:47,400 Speaker 4: they're not quitting for you, Ian, They're still battling. 194 00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:50,760 Speaker 6: They are, they are. I may or may not have 195 00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,119 Speaker 6: them in the streaming defenses. 196 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: I considered it. 197 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,520 Speaker 6: At least, but we'll have to stay. 198 00:09:54,679 --> 00:09:57,440 Speaker 5: They may or may not be in the survivor pick. 199 00:09:57,440 --> 00:09:57,959 Speaker 1: How about that? 200 00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 5: How about we'll t right. 201 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,040 Speaker 1: It's the most Jets talk we've done in a while. 202 00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:07,600 Speaker 4: Crazy Josh Jacobs going against the Bears, only nine point 203 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,000 Speaker 4: six points in his return last week, Bears middling against 204 00:10:11,040 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 4: the run. Look, we know they'll let you go in 205 00:10:13,360 --> 00:10:17,199 Speaker 4: between the twenties. Question is can you cash in? And 206 00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:20,640 Speaker 4: finally Chase Brown, who's been fantastic, averaging fifteen points per 207 00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:24,559 Speaker 4: game over his last four that's tenth amongst running backs 208 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:28,040 Speaker 4: in Buffalo. While they've been pretty good against passing games, 209 00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 4: they've been siv like against opposing rusher's fifth most fantasy 210 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,240 Speaker 4: points per game allowed to running backs. 211 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,400 Speaker 3: You know the great thing is because of the trip 212 00:10:37,440 --> 00:10:39,520 Speaker 3: to Buffalo earlier this year, I've still got it in 213 00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,160 Speaker 3: my phone as a destination for weather seventy percent chance 214 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:47,200 Speaker 3: of precipitation high thirty one for Bill's Bengals. 215 00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:47,760 Speaker 1: How about that? 216 00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,600 Speaker 3: So that'll be it could be some fun in Buffalo 217 00:10:50,720 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 3: coming up on Sunday. All right, let's get to the 218 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,520 Speaker 3: wide receivers. Mike your top five for week fourteen. 219 00:10:56,160 --> 00:10:59,560 Speaker 4: More Bengals love, with Jamar Chase up the top fourteen 220 00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 4: and a half in his return suspension. Now a little 221 00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 4: bit concerned because the ceiling has been lowered. Fifteen point 222 00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:11,240 Speaker 4: one or fewers for last four appearances. Fifteen point three 223 00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:15,080 Speaker 4: fantasy points per game, Still pretty solid on the whole. 224 00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 1: For the year. 225 00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:18,960 Speaker 4: Eleventh best are the Bills against wideouts give it up 226 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 4: just a total of twenty four fantasy points spread around, 227 00:11:22,559 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 4: but again number one, big winning time. And with the 228 00:11:26,679 --> 00:11:31,200 Speaker 4: Pittsburgh Steelers in Baltimore Ravens Bowl wheel reeling with so 229 00:11:31,240 --> 00:11:35,320 Speaker 4: many injury issues and ineffectiveness, Lamar Jackson got stepped on. 230 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:38,440 Speaker 4: Is every part of his body gonna get hurt by 231 00:11:38,559 --> 00:11:41,240 Speaker 4: just random practice accidents. 232 00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:41,480 Speaker 1: At this point? 233 00:11:41,760 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 4: But like all of a sudden, the Bengals have so 234 00:11:44,840 --> 00:11:47,679 Speaker 4: much to play for and Joe Burrow I think we 235 00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:50,880 Speaker 4: see some of his best AJ Brown going up against 236 00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:53,400 Speaker 4: the Chargers. He's been on fire ever since he told 237 00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:56,200 Speaker 4: everybody to drop him in Fantasy, back to back huge 238 00:11:56,240 --> 00:11:59,760 Speaker 4: games eighteen catches two, forty two and three, and then 239 00:11:59,760 --> 00:12:01,920 Speaker 4: you have the game before that where he had seven 240 00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:05,520 Speaker 4: catches for forty nine yards, charges best against wideouts. I'm 241 00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:08,400 Speaker 4: going counterintuitive that he comes up with another big effort 242 00:12:08,400 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: here JSN against Atlanta. Season high thirty three in Week twelve, 243 00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 4: just three point three last week. Overall, still averaging eighteen 244 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,280 Speaker 4: point two Fantasy points per game. 245 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:21,000 Speaker 1: I got a dance with who brung me? 246 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:25,680 Speaker 4: You know, there's my English major really coming into play 247 00:12:25,720 --> 00:12:29,280 Speaker 4: there with that sentence structure. Atlanta thirteenth, most generous to 248 00:12:29,360 --> 00:12:33,679 Speaker 4: opposing wideouts, Puka Takua four straight under fifteen, So a 249 00:12:33,720 --> 00:12:37,080 Speaker 4: little bit of hand ringing here. Last twenty plus point 250 00:12:37,200 --> 00:12:40,720 Speaker 4: game was Week four, so you know he's not getting 251 00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,480 Speaker 4: the glory in the red zone. 252 00:12:42,480 --> 00:12:44,000 Speaker 1: We'll get into that a little. 253 00:12:43,760 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 4: Bit more as we go. But still looking for some 254 00:12:46,640 --> 00:12:50,400 Speaker 4: big opportunities here against Arizona. And then finally Nico Collins 255 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,640 Speaker 4: just one touchdown here in his last five games receiving. 256 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:56,520 Speaker 4: He had that rushing touchdown, but three of his last 257 00:12:56,520 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 4: four He's gone over nineteen points, double digit targets four 258 00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:03,920 Speaker 4: of five and here against Kansas City in a huge 259 00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:05,640 Speaker 4: game in the AFC. 260 00:13:05,880 --> 00:13:08,680 Speaker 3: Good to see aj Brown back in the rankings, and 261 00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:10,679 Speaker 3: you have to think JSN is going to bounce back 262 00:13:10,720 --> 00:13:13,680 Speaker 3: from what happened last week against Minnesota. It was a 263 00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:15,600 Speaker 3: win for the Seahawks, but a loss for a lot 264 00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:18,640 Speaker 3: of people who had some JSN shares because it was 265 00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:21,760 Speaker 3: by far his worst performance of the year, not even close. 266 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,720 Speaker 3: But we'll see if they rebound against a banged up 267 00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,960 Speaker 3: Falcons team one of the matchups we've got four week fourteen. 268 00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: There they are your top five rankings quarterback, running back, 269 00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:33,040 Speaker 3: and wide receiver. Mike takes a shot at the hop 270 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:36,920 Speaker 3: plays cold soars in Ninjas plus Ian's streaming defenses all away. 271 00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,160 Speaker 3: It's all coming up next here on I Want Your Flex. 272 00:13:41,600 --> 00:13:43,320 Speaker 3: Welcome back to Why I Want Your Flex. He is 273 00:13:43,360 --> 00:13:45,680 Speaker 3: Mike Carmen. Hit him up at Swallen Dome. I'm Dan Byer. 274 00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:48,720 Speaker 3: Find me at Dan Byer on Fox and Ian Roddy 275 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:52,800 Speaker 3: our executive producer at Ian Roddy Underscore also on Blue 276 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 3: scot Ian Underscore. Roddy right, was that what it was? 277 00:13:55,880 --> 00:14:00,520 Speaker 3: I think that's right, jumped the gun and got ahead 278 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 3: of him. I knew we'd bring the Blue Sky back. 279 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:07,280 Speaker 3: I just didn't know when I figured Week fourteen. 280 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: Would be the opportunity nictually did. 281 00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:11,160 Speaker 3: Yes, All right, let's get to the hot place, Mike, 282 00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:12,559 Speaker 3: your hot plays for week fourteen. 283 00:14:12,960 --> 00:14:15,560 Speaker 4: I'm gonna guy back and he's cleared to go. I 284 00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,720 Speaker 4: have no idea what to expect, but damn it, am 285 00:14:17,760 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 4: I intrigued. And that's Jayden Daniels going up against Minnesota 286 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 4: average early nineteen Fantasy points at his five starts this year. 287 00:14:25,200 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 4: Open things up. Terry McLaurin back and healthy. So I'm 288 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:30,720 Speaker 4: rolling him up as a hot play for this one 289 00:14:30,800 --> 00:14:33,880 Speaker 4: as we are missing, you know, Brock Purdy and Drake 290 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,440 Speaker 4: May and this one. And that's it a little bit 291 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 4: of Jackson Dart. I guess if you're willing to bet 292 00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,760 Speaker 4: that he finishes a game. One of the discussion points 293 00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,160 Speaker 4: from earlier in the week, of course, Jordan Love going 294 00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 4: up against Chicago looking for them to make some AA. 295 00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,400 Speaker 4: This one is only at forty four and a half. 296 00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,520 Speaker 4: We mentioned the cold weather for this one a curiosity 297 00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,560 Speaker 4: or I had sixteen degrees or thereabouts when we're talking 298 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 4: about the tempts, so they could deflate the football a 299 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,240 Speaker 4: little bit. But only two twenty point games since Week 300 00:15:07,280 --> 00:15:10,480 Speaker 4: four for him, But the Bears pretty generous bottom ten, 301 00:15:10,640 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 4: giving up over nineteen fantasy points per game. Daniel Jones 302 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:17,960 Speaker 4: against Jacksonville again a little counterintuitive. He's got four straight 303 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:23,000 Speaker 4: at seventeen or less, but tied for ninth. Most are 304 00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:26,120 Speaker 4: the Jaguars generous to opposing quarterbacks? Howbout the other side 305 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:28,640 Speaker 4: of that matchup with Trevor Lawrence back to back twenty 306 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,120 Speaker 4: point games, Do we dare call it a streak? 307 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:31,600 Speaker 1: Gentlemen? 308 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,720 Speaker 4: Do we dare call it a streak? That he can 309 00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 4: get things going with Jacoby Myers Once again. 310 00:15:36,880 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 3: Colts have always had trouble in Jacksonville, so this could 311 00:15:40,280 --> 00:15:43,560 Speaker 3: lend to that that maybe the Jaguars could continue their 312 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,360 Speaker 3: winning ways and are actual really good team in the NFL. 313 00:15:47,760 --> 00:15:49,920 Speaker 1: Yeah, he had four catches for thirty two yards as 314 00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:52,520 Speaker 1: a member of the Raiders against this team earlier this year. 315 00:15:52,960 --> 00:15:55,880 Speaker 1: Eighteen catches in four games back to back with a touchdown, 316 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:58,520 Speaker 1: ten for one hundred and forty over the last two. 317 00:15:58,560 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 1: So we get Jacobe Myers in as well. 318 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,800 Speaker 4: Quinn John Judkins sixth amongst running backs the last two weeks, 319 00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 4: averaging about sixteen points per game. Bucky Irving, we talked 320 00:16:06,880 --> 00:16:10,200 Speaker 4: about him and his return New Orleans middling against runners, 321 00:16:10,400 --> 00:16:12,840 Speaker 4: Derrick Henry because I have no idea what I'm getting 322 00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,840 Speaker 4: in the passing game with Lamar Jackson. Am I expecting 323 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,200 Speaker 4: highs of highs? You know in that one twenty year No, no, no, 324 00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:23,440 Speaker 4: give me that seventy and a score and I'll set 325 00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,400 Speaker 4: it and forget it. He's sixed over the last five weeks, 326 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,080 Speaker 4: averaging about sixteen points per game. 327 00:16:28,160 --> 00:16:28,480 Speaker 1: Chris A. 328 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:32,840 Speaker 4: Lave going up against Tampa. They've been terrible against opposing 329 00:16:32,880 --> 00:16:37,640 Speaker 4: passing games, so foreshadowing a little bit more. Jalen Waddle. 330 00:16:37,640 --> 00:16:40,720 Speaker 4: He's been miserable the last two times out. Looking for 331 00:16:40,920 --> 00:16:44,680 Speaker 4: a little bit better offing offering for us here against 332 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:49,080 Speaker 4: the Jets. Michael Wilson forty seven targets over his last 333 00:16:49,120 --> 00:16:52,000 Speaker 4: four going up against the Rams. Yeah, last week just 334 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 4: five and at five point one after that two week 335 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:56,800 Speaker 4: run up, and then I have to ask the question. 336 00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:00,360 Speaker 4: I ring it to the panel. The last two weeks weeks, 337 00:17:00,880 --> 00:17:04,000 Speaker 4: the Minnesota quarterbacks could have dirted the ball and every 338 00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:06,840 Speaker 4: down and had a better QBR than what they put forward. 339 00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 4: Do I trust Justin Jefferson in my line up this 340 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:13,159 Speaker 4: week as they face what has been here too for 341 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:16,959 Speaker 4: a bad Washington team. Also proof of concept, Jaden Daniels 342 00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:20,040 Speaker 4: is worth three to the point spread because Minnesota was 343 00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:23,160 Speaker 4: a one and a half point favorite and with Daniels activation, 344 00:17:23,359 --> 00:17:25,640 Speaker 4: they are now a one and a half point favorite. 345 00:17:25,720 --> 00:17:28,080 Speaker 3: I would say, in the words of Steve Winn, would 346 00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:31,160 Speaker 3: roll with it. Let's roll with Justin Jefferson. He can't 347 00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,959 Speaker 3: get any worse, right if you're going to play him 348 00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 3: when like I did last week when he had the 349 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,520 Speaker 3: two for four sounds like a great shopping deal, but 350 00:17:39,600 --> 00:17:42,720 Speaker 3: not in fantasy football. There's got to be at least 351 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,679 Speaker 3: some bounce back, at least some way a touchdown or 352 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:48,400 Speaker 3: something for Justin Jefferson. 353 00:17:48,720 --> 00:17:51,680 Speaker 4: Either that or we can go with one of his contemporaries, 354 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 4: with mister Winwood, the little Billy Joel, and we will all. 355 00:17:55,080 --> 00:17:56,680 Speaker 1: Go down together. 356 00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 4: It's going to blame out do it with the stars 357 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:02,960 Speaker 4: we drafted back in the day. 358 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:05,520 Speaker 3: There they are your hot plays for Week fourteen. Now 359 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,560 Speaker 3: let's get to the other side of things. The cold 360 00:18:07,560 --> 00:18:10,320 Speaker 3: soars Mike Coud you and not like this upcoming league. 361 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:14,080 Speaker 4: Some big game hunting right off the jump. Patrick Mahomes, 362 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:16,520 Speaker 4: it's just a lower ceiling. I have no idea what 363 00:18:16,560 --> 00:18:19,760 Speaker 4: to expect. We talk about a banged up, bad offensive 364 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,879 Speaker 4: line right now. Am I going to get enough rushing 365 00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,520 Speaker 4: yards that are going to counterbalance what goes up against 366 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:29,680 Speaker 4: that Houston front? Best giving up just twelve and a 367 00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:34,080 Speaker 4: half fantasy points per game two quarterbacks, and Mahomes has 368 00:18:34,080 --> 00:18:37,200 Speaker 4: been ridiculous last week, the second highest score that he's 369 00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:40,240 Speaker 4: had all year. He's second overall all of these things. 370 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:42,800 Speaker 4: But it's still just a bit of handwringing. Caleb Williams 371 00:18:42,840 --> 00:18:45,560 Speaker 4: going up against Green Bay. They're six best against quarterbacks, 372 00:18:45,560 --> 00:18:48,760 Speaker 4: three big games the last five, but then two ten 373 00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:51,800 Speaker 4: point performance is mixed there in a little bit of concern. 374 00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,960 Speaker 4: Justin Herbert against Philadelphia. It's a home game. How much 375 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 4: is the run game are you going to see? With 376 00:18:56,920 --> 00:19:01,760 Speaker 4: Vidal and Hampton coming back, He's going to be cleared, 377 00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:04,720 Speaker 4: how much we know? But Herbert had the hands surgery, 378 00:19:05,240 --> 00:19:07,960 Speaker 4: so how much is that going to effect play before 379 00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 4: it's done? Ashton Genty, I don't I don't even know 380 00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:13,439 Speaker 4: if it's fair to put him on here anymore, but 381 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:15,879 Speaker 4: two sub ten over the last eight. Look, we got 382 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 4: to take our chalk where we can going up against 383 00:19:18,560 --> 00:19:23,840 Speaker 4: Denver ETN going up against Indianapolis. These workloads split that 384 00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:27,680 Speaker 4: they have there leaves me a little bit concerned. Would 385 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,879 Speaker 4: he mark seven point four if you are four of 386 00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,760 Speaker 4: five a starter? Really in name only and desperation as 387 00:19:34,800 --> 00:19:37,560 Speaker 4: a flex play, But the big game hunting comes to 388 00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:40,640 Speaker 4: the wide receiver position. And you know we've we've had 389 00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:44,880 Speaker 4: blind trust in Abuca all season. He's got just one 390 00:19:44,960 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 4: game with more than eight points in his last seven, 391 00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,440 Speaker 4: going up against New Orleans Secondary. But how about DeVante 392 00:19:51,520 --> 00:19:54,840 Speaker 4: Adams going up against Arizona? And I raised this because 393 00:19:54,880 --> 00:19:57,639 Speaker 4: they only got two games with more than eighty receiving 394 00:19:57,720 --> 00:20:02,359 Speaker 4: yards on the season touchdowns in his last six. Yes, 395 00:20:02,840 --> 00:20:06,080 Speaker 4: he got this crazy ass streak. And you're like, okay, 396 00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:09,680 Speaker 4: when does this stop? Like you're not benching him clearly, 397 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,240 Speaker 4: But for the purposes of this conversation, I'm like, boy, 398 00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,800 Speaker 4: I really got to maximize elsewhere because I am so 399 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:20,520 Speaker 4: red zone dependent here that it feels like Jerome Bettis 400 00:20:20,560 --> 00:20:22,439 Speaker 4: in his final days when he was paired up with 401 00:20:22,520 --> 00:20:24,200 Speaker 4: Douce Staley and those guys. 402 00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:26,320 Speaker 3: When I traded Devonte Adams this year, I told you 403 00:20:26,320 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: guys on the pod. It was after the Jacksonville game 404 00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,560 Speaker 3: in London where he had five catches for I think 405 00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,679 Speaker 3: thirty five yards and three of those were touchdowns, and 406 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,200 Speaker 3: I just thought, wow, that's that's gonna be as high 407 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 3: point because if you're only getting the touchdowns, those can't 408 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:45,159 Speaker 3: happen every week. Wrong, they've basically happened every week. To 409 00:20:45,200 --> 00:20:47,240 Speaker 3: Mike's point of how many he's got over the last 410 00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:50,280 Speaker 3: five or six games. Eleven was what Mike's was at 411 00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,440 Speaker 3: five or six whatever it was. But that's basically to 412 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:53,960 Speaker 3: a game. 413 00:20:54,480 --> 00:20:55,760 Speaker 1: So it's insane. 414 00:20:55,880 --> 00:21:00,240 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, like this rate, and certainly you know, Iron 415 00:21:00,280 --> 00:21:03,520 Speaker 4: Williams and Blake korm have still had their fun along 416 00:21:03,560 --> 00:21:05,920 Speaker 4: the way, but it's just the it's got to end, 417 00:21:06,160 --> 00:21:09,040 Speaker 4: I mean, right, it's got to end at some point. 418 00:21:09,119 --> 00:21:12,359 Speaker 4: And then what the way the offense have operated means 419 00:21:12,359 --> 00:21:15,080 Speaker 4: you basically walk away with nothing sure if you get 420 00:21:15,080 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 4: that shut out and then we take our chalk once 421 00:21:17,840 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 4: again with our old familiar DK metcalf DK one double 422 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,400 Speaker 4: digit game is last. 423 00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 5: Five Steelers Ravens. 424 00:21:27,560 --> 00:21:31,240 Speaker 3: I just don't know. With Pittsburgh in that offense. We 425 00:21:31,320 --> 00:21:33,920 Speaker 3: know the Ravens defense can let you have it. We've 426 00:21:33,960 --> 00:21:36,760 Speaker 3: seen that before, but still there's nothing there for Pitts 427 00:21:36,800 --> 00:21:39,800 Speaker 3: from Pittsburgh to make you feel comfortable. Those are the 428 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:42,000 Speaker 3: cold source from Mike Carmen. Let's get to the ninja 429 00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:43,240 Speaker 3: plays for the upcoming week. 430 00:21:43,600 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 4: Get a little bit deeper, deeper, deeper. CJ shout going 431 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:49,359 Speaker 4: to against Kansas City. Ten points in that return, Kansas 432 00:21:49,359 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 4: City middling, given about seventeen points per game. Tyler Shuck 433 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,880 Speaker 4: going against Tampa. Yeah, let's go with vele out there 434 00:21:56,920 --> 00:21:59,680 Speaker 4: as well. You're talking nineteen and eighteen point four to 435 00:21:59,720 --> 00:22:03,400 Speaker 4: two of his last three Tampa Bay fourth most fantasy 436 00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:06,280 Speaker 4: points allowed per game. There's your daily Fantasy play of 437 00:22:06,320 --> 00:22:09,800 Speaker 4: the week because he's gonna cost you nothing. To Rod 438 00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:12,960 Speaker 4: Taylor going up against Miami. I like that ad Ni 439 00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:17,359 Speaker 4: Mitchell a little thing that's popping there for Taylor. You 440 00:22:17,400 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 4: look at a couple of big games in his starts 441 00:22:21,320 --> 00:22:24,360 Speaker 4: where he's been near that twenty point mark for Miami, 442 00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 4: giving up nearly twenty per game. Rodriguez going up against 443 00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,880 Speaker 4: Minnesota averaging about ten points per game his last four 444 00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:35,800 Speaker 4: not world beating, but red zone potential for him there 445 00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:39,000 Speaker 4: Bam Knight against the Rams. Three straight double digit games 446 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:43,320 Speaker 4: for him season high fifteen point three last week to 447 00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:46,720 Speaker 4: Saquon Barkley count Yah, sure he does. He's RB fifteen 448 00:22:46,880 --> 00:22:52,560 Speaker 4: somehow this year, despite well being terrible, fewer than ten 449 00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,440 Speaker 4: fantasy points five of his last seven games. 450 00:22:56,520 --> 00:22:58,600 Speaker 3: Just like you knew that there was going to be 451 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:02,000 Speaker 3: a you know, a regression from last year, but I 452 00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:04,280 Speaker 3: thought it would be more for injuries than anything else 453 00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:04,760 Speaker 3: in it. 454 00:23:04,960 --> 00:23:07,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, or a little bit of you know, maybe they 455 00:23:07,640 --> 00:23:10,680 Speaker 4: went to the Lions approach of a year ago, where 456 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:14,760 Speaker 4: it's all right, it's Gibbs in Montgomer Montgomery, really both 457 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:18,159 Speaker 4: kind of rumbling with the same touches, and then Gibbs 458 00:23:18,200 --> 00:23:20,960 Speaker 4: became that guy in the second half that maybe when 459 00:23:20,960 --> 00:23:23,879 Speaker 4: they had acquired Tank, Bigsby and all of that, that 460 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:27,080 Speaker 4: maybe they'd meter things out. And now the offensive lines 461 00:23:27,119 --> 00:23:30,560 Speaker 4: had its issues and injuries, and certainly the amount of 462 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 4: slap fighting certainly doesn't help, things like the verbal slap 463 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,159 Speaker 4: fighting back and forth. But yeah, this is just a 464 00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,600 Speaker 4: curiosity as to he just looks that much. The regression 465 00:23:42,240 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 4: far bigger coefficient than any of us could have anticipated. 466 00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:50,200 Speaker 4: Wide receivers real quick Khalil Shakir. Why because it's got 467 00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:53,240 Speaker 4: to bend the right way point two thirteen and one 468 00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:57,760 Speaker 4: his last three stat lines there, Debo going up against Minnesota. 469 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:01,120 Speaker 4: Go back to the beginning of the year. He came 470 00:24:01,160 --> 00:24:03,359 Speaker 4: out of the gate pretty strong. He's had a couple 471 00:24:03,359 --> 00:24:07,920 Speaker 4: of pops across the year with some touches, but looking 472 00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:13,160 Speaker 4: for an opportunity here. More gadgetry than anything else. Alec 473 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 4: Pierce fourteen to sixteen points three of his last four games. 474 00:24:17,560 --> 00:24:21,440 Speaker 4: And then go back to Higgins in the Planet Houston 475 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 4: going up against KC back to back you back in 476 00:24:26,920 --> 00:24:30,040 Speaker 4: W two WR two the last four weeks averaging about 477 00:24:30,040 --> 00:24:33,320 Speaker 4: eleven points per game, So trying to find some value 478 00:24:33,359 --> 00:24:35,080 Speaker 4: at the back end of our receiving course. 479 00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:39,480 Speaker 3: It's Sunday night football in Kansas City, Texans and Chiefs 480 00:24:39,560 --> 00:24:42,440 Speaker 3: should be a good one, all right. Mike Harmon can 481 00:24:43,280 --> 00:24:46,520 Speaker 3: sit back, relax, kick up the feet. Ian Roddy takes 482 00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,159 Speaker 3: the wheel next with his streaming defenses. I'll follow with 483 00:24:49,200 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: a survivor pick and a points of balooza. It's what 484 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,240 Speaker 3: we do when we wrap up our episode. If I 485 00:24:54,320 --> 00:24:59,240 Speaker 3: want your flex, it's all next here, all right. Ian 486 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,640 Speaker 3: Roddy take the wheel. He is Mike Carmen and I'm 487 00:25:01,720 --> 00:25:04,960 Speaker 3: Dan byer Ian as our executive producer. You have streaming 488 00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:09,359 Speaker 3: defenses for us this week? How many three this week? Three? 489 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, let's go the normal three. Not going to pull 490 00:25:12,760 --> 00:25:15,600 Speaker 6: any fast ones on you guys this week, but let's 491 00:25:15,600 --> 00:25:18,400 Speaker 6: start with this. Mike, you referenced them a second ago here, 492 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 6: but I'm one of my defenses. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers 493 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,920 Speaker 6: forty six percent rostered in ESPN leagues last I checked. 494 00:25:24,960 --> 00:25:27,240 Speaker 6: They are playing against the Saints and Tyler Shuck. Like 495 00:25:27,280 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 6: you mentioned, when the Bucks played the Saints in Week eight, 496 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:32,320 Speaker 6: they held them to just a field goal and they 497 00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,880 Speaker 6: recorded five sacks on them, but that was a game 498 00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:38,080 Speaker 6: where Tyler Shuck came in for Spencer Ratler. Two of 499 00:25:38,080 --> 00:25:40,280 Speaker 6: the sacks were on Rattler, three were on Shuck. That's 500 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,880 Speaker 6: important to note, but still got him three times. Last 501 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,959 Speaker 6: few weeks, Shuck was doing a good enough job avoiding sacks, 502 00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:49,480 Speaker 6: but the last few weeks he's now taken at least 503 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:52,440 Speaker 6: four and back to back, and that was against relatively 504 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,920 Speaker 6: average pass rushes in the Falcons and Dolphins. The Bucks 505 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 6: I think are similarly average, but that should suffice in 506 00:25:59,640 --> 00:26:01,680 Speaker 6: my mind. And also I just think that the game 507 00:26:01,720 --> 00:26:04,159 Speaker 6: script itself is going to favor the Bucks here, and 508 00:26:05,240 --> 00:26:06,960 Speaker 6: when you know that the Saints are going to be throwing, 509 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:08,480 Speaker 6: it makes it a little easier to pin your years 510 00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:11,399 Speaker 6: back get more sacks. So sure Bucks are our first one. 511 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,680 Speaker 6: Next up the Washington Commanders. They're thirty five percent rostered. 512 00:26:15,800 --> 00:26:19,280 Speaker 6: Last I checked, playing against the Vikings. Well, it'd be 513 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:22,480 Speaker 6: even better if Max Brosmer were starting again. With obviously 514 00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:27,719 Speaker 6: that four interception disaster class last week. McCarthy's still very 515 00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:29,679 Speaker 6: much someone we're going to be targeting here. He's been 516 00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,199 Speaker 6: one of the worst qbs in the league, and I 517 00:26:31,240 --> 00:26:35,400 Speaker 6: expect that to continue. The Commanders are another pretty average defense, 518 00:26:35,480 --> 00:26:37,600 Speaker 6: but that should again be more than enough to handle 519 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:39,760 Speaker 6: business against the Vikings, especially in the state that they're 520 00:26:39,760 --> 00:26:42,640 Speaker 6: in right now. And then lastly, the Baltimore Ravens. They're 521 00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,719 Speaker 6: sixty percent rostered, so right on that threshold they may 522 00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,560 Speaker 6: or may not be out there for you. If they are, 523 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,200 Speaker 6: I would try and grab them. They're playing against the 524 00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,520 Speaker 6: Steelers and Aaron Rodgers Rogers has been playing with a 525 00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,800 Speaker 6: broken bone and his non throwing hands, so obviously be worse. 526 00:26:55,840 --> 00:26:57,440 Speaker 6: If it was his throwing hand, he'd probably be out 527 00:26:57,480 --> 00:27:00,760 Speaker 6: at that case, but it's led to some ball security 528 00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,680 Speaker 6: issues and the Ravens should be able to take advantage 529 00:27:02,680 --> 00:27:05,200 Speaker 6: of that. Just last week, Rogers had a fumble six 530 00:27:05,240 --> 00:27:06,960 Speaker 6: on a sack and that was thanks in part to 531 00:27:07,000 --> 00:27:10,480 Speaker 6: the cast on his hand, so it is literally affecting 532 00:27:10,520 --> 00:27:13,760 Speaker 6: the game. And then the Ravens defense did give up 533 00:27:13,800 --> 00:27:15,680 Speaker 6: thirty two points last week to the Bengals and Joe 534 00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,560 Speaker 6: Burrow's return, but before that they'd actually gone six straight 535 00:27:18,600 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 6: weeks holding their opponent to under twenty one points, and 536 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 6: that included the Rams and Bears, two really good offenses. 537 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,960 Speaker 6: So they should have a nice day against the struggling Steelers. 538 00:27:27,359 --> 00:27:30,000 Speaker 3: There are some low over unders and we'll get yeah 539 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:34,000 Speaker 3: one in just the second, but Steelers Ravens is trending 540 00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:39,040 Speaker 3: in that way. I'm gonna say this my survivor pick, 541 00:27:39,080 --> 00:27:40,840 Speaker 3: and I think a lot of people survivor pick this 542 00:27:40,880 --> 00:27:44,679 Speaker 3: week will be the Buccaneers. I don't feel great about it. 543 00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:48,919 Speaker 3: I don't feel great about the reason being this is 544 00:27:49,720 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 3: the Buccaneers had all they could handle from Arizona a 545 00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:55,000 Speaker 3: week ago. They also have a short week coming up 546 00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:57,480 Speaker 3: where they have the Falcons coming up on Thursday night, 547 00:27:57,480 --> 00:28:02,359 Speaker 3: football Saints coming to town. What you mentioned Ian of 548 00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,679 Speaker 3: what the Buccaneers were able to do to the Saints 549 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 3: in their first meeting. 550 00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,120 Speaker 5: It's a division game. 551 00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 3: I know, it's something you don't want to overlook, and 552 00:28:09,840 --> 00:28:13,000 Speaker 3: I just wonder if they do. And I also wonder 553 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,359 Speaker 3: Mike d Shook as one of his ninjas, if the 554 00:28:16,440 --> 00:28:19,280 Speaker 3: Saints have a little something where they can win a 555 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:22,679 Speaker 3: game or two. Now they've won two so far this season, 556 00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,240 Speaker 3: but you also have a game coming up against the 557 00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:28,439 Speaker 3: Titans on your schedule. You've got a game against the 558 00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:32,240 Speaker 3: Jets coming up, and so I'm saying to myself, all right, 559 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:34,800 Speaker 3: is that where the Saints four wins the season are 560 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,160 Speaker 3: gonna come? Or are they gonna come in a surprise 561 00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:41,760 Speaker 3: fashion against a team like the Buccaneers. I'm probably gonna 562 00:28:41,800 --> 00:28:43,760 Speaker 3: put my pick on the Buccaneers, but I would take 563 00:28:43,800 --> 00:28:48,640 Speaker 3: that one the other two Browns against Titans. Super talking 564 00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,680 Speaker 3: about over under, super low scoring thirty three and a half, 565 00:28:51,720 --> 00:28:54,160 Speaker 3: isn't Mike, That's kind of what it's stayed throughout the week. 566 00:28:54,520 --> 00:28:57,760 Speaker 3: That game again going just with the Browns defense, solely 567 00:28:57,800 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 3: because they're so good to be able to get after 568 00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,600 Speaker 3: cam Ward. The Browns would be a pick, and honestly, 569 00:29:05,640 --> 00:29:08,200 Speaker 3: I think Ian's Jets could be a pick against the Dolphins. 570 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,320 Speaker 3: I know the Dolphins have eight Chan and Waddle, but 571 00:29:11,880 --> 00:29:16,040 Speaker 3: weather's probably going to be cold. Jets are playing inspired football, 572 00:29:16,480 --> 00:29:17,400 Speaker 3: and I'm not sure what. 573 00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:18,959 Speaker 5: The best unit is on the field. 574 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:21,920 Speaker 3: I think Bryce Hall can do some damage, so the 575 00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,560 Speaker 3: Dolphins are a favorite. Jets would be the underdog, but 576 00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 3: they're home. Buccaneers. Browns my safest picks for survivor, even 577 00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,000 Speaker 3: though I'm teetering on the Buccaneers. 578 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,720 Speaker 6: I like that Dan, I actually, and like I alluded 579 00:29:33,760 --> 00:29:36,600 Speaker 6: to earlier in the show, I did consider putting either 580 00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,080 Speaker 6: the Dolphins or Jets in the streaming defenses, but that 581 00:29:39,200 --> 00:29:41,080 Speaker 6: game is just such a question mark in my mind 582 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:42,960 Speaker 6: right now. Like you said, the Jets are playing more 583 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,360 Speaker 6: inspired football. I don't view them as a must target 584 00:29:46,400 --> 00:29:48,600 Speaker 6: in streaming defense. Is just because of how hippy they've 585 00:29:48,640 --> 00:29:51,240 Speaker 6: looked in the last few weeks. But we'll see. Maybe 586 00:29:51,280 --> 00:29:53,560 Speaker 6: the Dolphins absolutely steamroll them, and that makes it easy 587 00:29:53,600 --> 00:29:54,120 Speaker 6: going forward. 588 00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:56,000 Speaker 4: Another one of those games that you can get in. 589 00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:58,920 Speaker 4: It's a pretty good day of games if you're willing 590 00:29:58,960 --> 00:30:02,000 Speaker 4: to go sit in the cold and bundle up. You 591 00:30:02,040 --> 00:30:04,880 Speaker 4: can go see Miles Garrett get the sack record for 592 00:30:04,920 --> 00:30:05,479 Speaker 4: eight bucks. 593 00:30:05,920 --> 00:30:07,040 Speaker 1: Oh there you can. 594 00:30:07,720 --> 00:30:11,320 Speaker 4: You can go see the Rams and the Cardinals for 595 00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:17,160 Speaker 4: twenty one Houston, Kansas City as low as forty last 596 00:30:17,240 --> 00:30:20,520 Speaker 4: I see in that Jets game about forty five bucks. 597 00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:23,680 Speaker 4: And also just one of those stats, right, Jets, Oh 598 00:30:23,720 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 4: to seven all time against TUA. Yeah, back to eight 599 00:30:28,040 --> 00:30:29,120 Speaker 4: below forty degrees. 600 00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,160 Speaker 1: Oh, something's gone. Something rubber meets the room. 601 00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:38,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, a movable force meets a Yeah, whatever it is, 602 00:30:39,080 --> 00:30:41,400 Speaker 6: whatever the opposite. 603 00:30:41,440 --> 00:30:44,479 Speaker 3: I got you Jets, Dolphins, not my points of Loza, 604 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:48,600 Speaker 3: Rams Cardinals is so give me Rams Cardinals one of 605 00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,600 Speaker 3: the higher ones that we've got. But nothing even close 606 00:30:51,640 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 3: approaching the fifty three and a half between Cincinnati and Buffalo, 607 00:30:55,360 --> 00:30:57,640 Speaker 3: So I couldn't take that. But it's gonna be tough 608 00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,800 Speaker 3: to top Cowboys Lions, which already has the hay in 609 00:30:59,840 --> 00:31:04,200 Speaker 3: the But Rams and Cardinals is the one that I 610 00:31:04,200 --> 00:31:07,920 Speaker 3: think will probably play out. It is the second highest 611 00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: point total we've got right now. 612 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,800 Speaker 4: Celebrate that Jacoby Brissette run as it goes. Kyler Murray 613 00:31:13,840 --> 00:31:17,120 Speaker 4: shut down for the year according to again, and yes 614 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:18,800 Speaker 4: earlier on Friday. 615 00:31:18,480 --> 00:31:21,960 Speaker 5: And no Marvin Harrison Junior for the Cardinals either, so. 616 00:31:22,160 --> 00:31:24,480 Speaker 6: Kyler might have played his last snap as a Cardinals. 617 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: Yeah, point right, all right, But we could also see 618 00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:31,920 Speaker 3: a lot of Tray McBride yes day forty two asking 619 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,160 Speaker 3: Cardinals tight end Trey McBride to drink a drum and 620 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 3: deal with us. I love those I know it's over. 621 00:31:38,880 --> 00:31:41,280 Speaker 3: I'm still looking at their tiktoks. It's great, all right, 622 00:31:41,320 --> 00:31:44,680 Speaker 3: that's awesome. That's enough for us here on. I want 623 00:31:44,720 --> 00:31:48,320 Speaker 3: your flax. We'll be back for a post week fourteen. 624 00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:50,920 Speaker 3: Hopefully you're heading into the playoffs at that point. If 625 00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,360 Speaker 3: your league go is fifteen weeks, hopefully we can get 626 00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,800 Speaker 3: you into the playoffs. Whatever the case may be, enjoy it. 627 00:31:56,840 --> 00:31:59,600 Speaker 3: If you're playing daily Fantasy, hopefully you hit the jackpot 628 00:32:00,040 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 3: and we will talk to you next time. 629 00:32:01,320 --> 00:32:03,800 Speaker 5: For Ian, Roddy and my Carmen, I'm Dan Byer. This 630 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:04,959 Speaker 5: is I want your flex.
