1 00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:13,680 Speaker 1: Wow, Wow, Hey everybody, It's Wednesday, November twenty ninth, twenty 2 00:00:13,800 --> 00:00:17,279 Speaker 1: twenty three. Welcome to the NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's 3 00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:19,480 Speaker 1: me and your man, MG Marcus Grant joined by Michael 4 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:22,840 Speaker 1: f Florio. Coming up on the show today, we are 5 00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,439 Speaker 1: previewing Thursday Night Football plus the early games from week thirteen. 6 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,760 Speaker 1: We are in week thirteen. The playoffs are just around 7 00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:34,960 Speaker 1: the corner. In fantasy and a lot of leagues. The 8 00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:38,839 Speaker 1: trade deadline has passed, and good and good deal, just 9 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,639 Speaker 1: in time for Bi mcgeddon, because why not we had 10 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:45,880 Speaker 1: a we need to petition the league about this or something. 11 00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:50,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, look, I know on Fantasy Live we've joked, well, 12 00:00:50,360 --> 00:00:53,400 Speaker 2: Patrick and you joked about getting an All Star game 13 00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:55,760 Speaker 2: in there or something like that. But even if we 14 00:00:55,880 --> 00:00:58,360 Speaker 2: spread it like a little bit more, there was multiple 15 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:02,160 Speaker 2: weeks with no buys already, like Lee earlier in the year. 16 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:04,800 Speaker 1: For us fantasy players, please come on, like help us out. 17 00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:06,520 Speaker 1: Just throw us a bone, please, Roger. That's all that's 18 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,399 Speaker 1: all we're really asking for. But let's get started, as 19 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:13,479 Speaker 1: we always do about this time with some fantasy headlines 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,839 Speaker 1: and a big one that hits earlier in the week 21 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:20,800 Speaker 1: happened on Tuesday, kind of midday. Jonathan Taylor will have 22 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:24,839 Speaker 1: surgery on his injured thumb. This according to team owner 23 00:01:24,920 --> 00:01:28,120 Speaker 1: Jim Ers, He's expected to miss the next two to 24 00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: three weeks. Look me you, a lot of other folks 25 00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:33,640 Speaker 1: had said a couple of weeks ago, if you have 26 00:01:33,840 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: room to stash Jack Moss, then you should. But I 27 00:01:37,520 --> 00:01:39,480 Speaker 1: think people got tired of waiting over the last couple 28 00:01:39,520 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 1: of weeks and felt like, all right, oh, maybe it's 29 00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,920 Speaker 1: time to move on from Zach Moss. Surprise, now he's 30 00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,880 Speaker 1: back in our fantasy lives. Obviously, that's the easy answer, right, 31 00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:51,080 Speaker 1: hold on to Zach Moss, play him if you got him, 32 00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,880 Speaker 1: go get him if he didn't. But if you couldn't 33 00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 1: get Zach Moss, what now? For fantasy managers, it's. 34 00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:00,120 Speaker 2: It's probably a week to week thing. If you're if 35 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,000 Speaker 2: you're in need of someone off the waiver wire to 36 00:02:02,040 --> 00:02:04,560 Speaker 2: replace Jonathan Taylor. The only way you could replace him 37 00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,640 Speaker 2: even close to it, is what Zach Moss, like Marcus 38 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,440 Speaker 2: was saying. But some options out there that are rostered 39 00:02:09,440 --> 00:02:12,320 Speaker 2: in half or less of NFL dot Com leagues. Tuba 40 00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: Hubbard remains out there. Kareem Hunt, Antonio Gibson, heat and 41 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:18,799 Speaker 2: Mitchell can help you this week, but there's a lot 42 00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,760 Speaker 2: of upside the rest of the way, especially if you 43 00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:24,040 Speaker 2: get say post by bump. But to me, the top 44 00:02:24,080 --> 00:02:26,520 Speaker 2: streaming options this week are Jeff Wilson Junior and Tyler 45 00:02:26,560 --> 00:02:28,480 Speaker 2: alge Year. Obviously they're not going to give you what 46 00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:31,560 Speaker 2: Jonathan Taylor has been giving you, but they can give 47 00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,280 Speaker 2: you something like double digit fantasy points and that might 48 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 2: just be good enough. But use this as a reminder 49 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:39,040 Speaker 2: like this is the time of year where you want 50 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,480 Speaker 2: your handcuffs on your roster, especially after this week and 51 00:02:41,520 --> 00:02:43,679 Speaker 2: all the buys. Two more teams on by the rest 52 00:02:43,720 --> 00:02:46,280 Speaker 2: of the way, so you can you have expendable bench spots, 53 00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: get your handcuffs on your roster. 54 00:02:47,720 --> 00:02:50,320 Speaker 1: Yeah, i'd also, you know, go out. You mentioned Tyler Algier, 55 00:02:50,400 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 1: Tuba Hubbard might be out there in a few leagues. 56 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,080 Speaker 1: Not maybe the most exciting opportunity to have Trube Hubbard 57 00:02:57,120 --> 00:02:58,720 Speaker 1: on the roster, but he does look like the lead 58 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 1: running back in Carolina, so he's worth exploring if he's 59 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,040 Speaker 1: a free agent in your fantasy league. One other quick note, 60 00:03:05,120 --> 00:03:08,160 Speaker 1: the window has opened on Aaron Rodgers coming back to 61 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,320 Speaker 1: practice for the Jets. I'm only mentioning this because I 62 00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:14,760 Speaker 1: feel obligated to do so. We're not doing anything with this, 63 00:03:14,919 --> 00:03:18,280 Speaker 1: are we? No? All right? No, no, all right, good enough? No. 64 00:03:19,240 --> 00:03:23,120 Speaker 1: Thursday Night Football TNF This week it is the Seattle 65 00:03:23,160 --> 00:03:26,359 Speaker 1: Seahawks heading to Dallas to take on the Cowboys eight 66 00:03:26,480 --> 00:03:30,200 Speaker 1: fifteen pm Eastern. You can see that game on Prime Video. 67 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: The Seahawks, they were hot for a little bit and 68 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:37,000 Speaker 1: now they have struggled and the guy a really tough 69 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,440 Speaker 1: matchup against a good Cowboys defense. How many Seahawks are 70 00:03:40,520 --> 00:03:42,200 Speaker 1: you comfortable starting in this one? 71 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,920 Speaker 2: Truthfully? None, Like I have Geno Smith as they sit 72 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:49,080 Speaker 2: this week, I have all of their receivers, including DK 73 00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:51,760 Speaker 2: metcalf as sits this week. If you head over to 74 00:03:52,040 --> 00:03:56,560 Speaker 2: the Stardum Cinematicle on NFL dot com, I think look 75 00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,080 Speaker 2: and a number of spots because right now, Ian Rappaport 76 00:03:59,120 --> 00:04:00,680 Speaker 2: an hour ago said it does not look good for 77 00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 2: Kenneth Walker. 78 00:04:01,440 --> 00:04:02,640 Speaker 1: To play this week. 79 00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:04,680 Speaker 2: So I have a couple of spots where I need 80 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:08,120 Speaker 2: to play Zach Sharbonay just out of more desperation than anything, 81 00:04:08,120 --> 00:04:10,720 Speaker 2: because of the buys and everything. So I understand you 82 00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: might be in a position where you need to play 83 00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 2: sharbon Ay or DK or Tyler Lockett. I would try 84 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,760 Speaker 2: really hard to get away from Geno, from JSN, and 85 00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:19,200 Speaker 2: really from all of them. 86 00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,760 Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it. I understand not being able to get 87 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,279 Speaker 1: away from them, but I'm with you. I don't like 88 00:04:23,320 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 1: any of the matchups. I think for sharbon Ay it's 89 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: a question of volume potentially, because we saw last week 90 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,039 Speaker 1: against the forty nine ers with no Kenneth Walker, it 91 00:04:32,080 --> 00:04:35,000 Speaker 1: was pretty much the Zach Charbonet show. I think maybe 92 00:04:35,040 --> 00:04:37,120 Speaker 1: he gets some targets because I expect the Seahawks to 93 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,440 Speaker 1: be playing from behind and in a negative game script. 94 00:04:39,560 --> 00:04:41,919 Speaker 1: But I don't like the matchup. The Cowboys have not 95 00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:43,760 Speaker 1: given up a touchdown to a running back in the 96 00:04:43,800 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 1: past three games. Sharbone has not been very efficient. Maybe 97 00:04:48,200 --> 00:04:50,799 Speaker 1: is a deep deep sleeper. You look at Jackson Smith 98 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,240 Speaker 1: and Jigba because the Cowboys, if there is a weakness, 99 00:04:54,480 --> 00:04:57,279 Speaker 1: it's against slot receivers. But even that is super minimal, 100 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:00,480 Speaker 1: so I wouldn't get too fired up about that one. Well, 101 00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:03,880 Speaker 1: on the other side, the Cowboys have been red hot 102 00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,279 Speaker 1: over the last month to six weeks. But you know, 103 00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:09,680 Speaker 1: for as great as Dak has been. It's pretty much 104 00:05:09,720 --> 00:05:12,839 Speaker 1: been the Dak and CD Lamb show in the passing game, 105 00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:17,440 Speaker 1: with occasional, you know, occasional spurts of Brandon Cooks. Would 106 00:05:17,440 --> 00:05:20,440 Speaker 1: you start any Cowboys receivers besides. 107 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:25,040 Speaker 2: Cedde Lamb, I would try not to like ideally it's 108 00:05:25,080 --> 00:05:27,960 Speaker 2: CD Lamb, it's Tony Poler, Jake Ferguson isn't play as 109 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 2: a tight end, and that's kind of where I would 110 00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 2: leave it. But six teams on by people have to 111 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,880 Speaker 2: dive deeper this week. Brandon Cooks to me, I don't 112 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,520 Speaker 2: love the matchup to see how secondary has been good 113 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,840 Speaker 2: and they've really struggled against the run. But Brandon Cooks 114 00:05:41,839 --> 00:05:43,840 Speaker 2: at least brings the upside of, hey, maybe this guy 115 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 2: will catch a long touchdown. So if you're talking about 116 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:50,000 Speaker 2: like a waiver wire bye week replacement, understand the floor 117 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:52,840 Speaker 2: is extremely low, but there's at least upside there. 118 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:55,600 Speaker 1: So in a perfect world, no, But if I had to, 119 00:05:56,279 --> 00:05:59,480 Speaker 1: I'm okay with throwing a upside shot on Brandon Cooks. Yeah, 120 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:02,480 Speaker 1: he's made me the only one because you know, Michael 121 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:05,400 Speaker 1: Gallup has been you know, inconsistent. It's just I guess 122 00:06:05,400 --> 00:06:08,600 Speaker 1: the story of his career. But it's just been amazing 123 00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:11,359 Speaker 1: that for as great as Deak has been that it 124 00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: hasn't really spread around to all the receivers there in 125 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,640 Speaker 1: that offense. So, you know, Ceede. Lamb is definitely a lock. 126 00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,280 Speaker 1: Everybody else sort of a question mark there. The other 127 00:06:21,320 --> 00:06:25,919 Speaker 1: part is the Seattle See secondary. On the whole, it 128 00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:28,440 Speaker 1: seems less than some of its parts, right because you know, 129 00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,279 Speaker 1: like Devin Witherspoon is playing well, Treek Wollan is playing 130 00:06:31,279 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: really well. But for some reason, we're not scared of 131 00:06:33,839 --> 00:06:36,279 Speaker 1: the Seahawks defense the way we were, you know, back 132 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:38,840 Speaker 1: in the legion of Boom days. So so we'll check 133 00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,320 Speaker 1: it out. A fifteen pm Eastern Prime video Seahawks and 134 00:06:42,360 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 1: Cowboys kickoff Week thirteen on Thursday Night Football. Now to 135 00:06:46,920 --> 00:06:50,839 Speaker 1: the rest of the week thirteen. Slates mentioned, I don't 136 00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: know we're calling this by mcgeddon two. Are we calling 137 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,920 Speaker 1: it by apocalypse? We're going in sync? Bye bye bye? 138 00:06:56,960 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: Like what are we doing? I want to go with 139 00:06:58,800 --> 00:06:59,719 Speaker 1: by mcgeddon two. 140 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:03,320 Speaker 2: But it needs like a electric yeah, like like it 141 00:07:03,400 --> 00:07:05,159 Speaker 2: needs something to add on to buy to. 142 00:07:05,320 --> 00:07:10,440 Speaker 1: Mcgeddon something like that. Whatever we have, the Ravens, the bills, 143 00:07:10,600 --> 00:07:15,280 Speaker 1: the Bears, the Raiders, the Vikings, and the Giants all 144 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: on by which means, look, let me look at the 145 00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,560 Speaker 1: quarterbacks we got out right. We got Lamar Jackson, Josh Allen, 146 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:24,920 Speaker 1: Josh Justin fields are out. Running backs. You've got the 147 00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:28,320 Speaker 1: Ravens running backs. You've got James Cook, You've got you know, 148 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:32,080 Speaker 1: the Bears backs if you're da Khalil Herbert, Josh Jacobs, 149 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,480 Speaker 1: Saquon Barkley. You got wide receivers galore that are out 150 00:07:36,480 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: this week. So a lot of good players at key 151 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:42,000 Speaker 1: positions not playing this week. So that means a lot 152 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:44,080 Speaker 1: of mixing and matching. A lot of people are going 153 00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,000 Speaker 1: to go into a critical week with lineups that they 154 00:07:46,040 --> 00:07:50,000 Speaker 1: probably aren't super excited about. So but my thing, like 155 00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:51,640 Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks, is just like if you have a 156 00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:53,760 Speaker 1: big name quarterback, even if you don't love the matchup, 157 00:07:53,960 --> 00:07:56,560 Speaker 1: play them this week because your options are very thin, 158 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:58,640 Speaker 1: very very thin. I mean, I'll let you on a 159 00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: little secret Gardner Minshews in the Sleeper's column this week 160 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: because there are six teams on a buy and somebody's 161 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:07,800 Speaker 1: probably gonna need a quarterback. Let's start though, in Week thirteen, 162 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: the Chargers at the Patriots Patriots need a quarterback. They 163 00:08:11,760 --> 00:08:16,640 Speaker 1: are cycling through Mac Jones and Bailey ZAPPI. Yeah, I see. 164 00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:20,400 Speaker 1: Cunningham was getting second team snaps the same Wednesday. They 165 00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:22,360 Speaker 1: should just start him it'll be fun at least. Or 166 00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 1: just run the wildcat with Ramandre Stevenson please. But for 167 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:28,880 Speaker 1: the Chargers, Austin Eckler since he came back from injury 168 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:31,920 Speaker 1: really hasn't been great. He hasn't been the Austin Eckler 169 00:08:31,920 --> 00:08:35,240 Speaker 1: we're used to seeing, but the utilization is what we want. 170 00:08:35,280 --> 00:08:36,920 Speaker 1: He's on the field all the time, he's getting a 171 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:40,360 Speaker 1: ton of touches. Where we finally get a big Austin 172 00:08:40,360 --> 00:08:41,840 Speaker 1: Eckler game this week. 173 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:43,960 Speaker 2: I am hopeful. And it's not like this is a 174 00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:46,960 Speaker 2: great matchup on paper or anything, but the Patriots are 175 00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:49,440 Speaker 2: going to struggle to put up points, so the Chargers 176 00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:52,360 Speaker 2: should have a favorable game script, which hopefully means a 177 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:54,720 Speaker 2: lot more running the ball for Austin Eckler, some short, 178 00:08:54,760 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: quick dump off passes. But just keep the faith with 179 00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:02,200 Speaker 2: Austin Eckler because this week, again I think he should 180 00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:04,000 Speaker 2: be able to bounce back in a heavy, nice game. 181 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,600 Speaker 2: But afterwards he gets to Broncos who've allowed the most 182 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,480 Speaker 2: fantasy points for game to running backs, the Raiders, who 183 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:11,720 Speaker 2: are going allowing running backs to go off every week, 184 00:09:11,760 --> 00:09:13,800 Speaker 2: the Bills who have struggled against the run, and then 185 00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,400 Speaker 2: the Fantasy Championship week against the Broncos, again Whove allowed 186 00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,800 Speaker 2: the most fantasy points to running backs. So hopefully this 187 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:20,440 Speaker 2: is a get right spot for him, and then he 188 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,760 Speaker 2: could just use that to maintain and take advantage of 189 00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:24,960 Speaker 2: this schedule of the final month. 190 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,800 Speaker 1: And I'm not going to suggest, I'm not even going 191 00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:30,719 Speaker 1: to remotely suggest that you're sitting Austin Eckler because the 192 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:34,080 Speaker 1: volume is too good. You just hope that maybe the 193 00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:38,559 Speaker 1: efficiency pops up. The other part that's been surprising disappointing 194 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: has been his lack of production in the passing game, 195 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:44,520 Speaker 1: because that really has been where his bread has been buttered, 196 00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:47,040 Speaker 1: especially in fantasy. You know that he's going to get 197 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:49,040 Speaker 1: those targets and he's going to get those yards after 198 00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:51,840 Speaker 1: the catch. It hasn't really been there so far this year. 199 00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,880 Speaker 1: So maybe this is a week where that starts to 200 00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:56,320 Speaker 1: happen a little bit as well for Austin Eckler. But 201 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:58,640 Speaker 1: you're starting him, you're just hoping that the numbers turn 202 00:09:58,640 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: out to be better than what they have been so far. 203 00:10:01,520 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: The Detroit Lions coming off a little bit of a 204 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,960 Speaker 1: surprising loss on Thanksgiving, they gint of got beat up 205 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:10,280 Speaker 1: by the Green Bay Packers. They head down to New 206 00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:13,600 Speaker 1: Orleans to take on the Saints. Speaking of beat up, 207 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:17,439 Speaker 1: Saints shortened the pass catcher department Chris o'lave in the 208 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:21,160 Speaker 1: concussion protocol. Rashid Shaheed dealing with a thigh injury and 209 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 1: it looks very unlikely for him to play this week. 210 00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:27,680 Speaker 1: Michael Thomas is already on injured reserve. Do you trust 211 00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,600 Speaker 1: any Saints pass catchers here? 212 00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,199 Speaker 2: It all depends on if those guys suit up or not. Like, 213 00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:34,559 Speaker 2: if o lave shoots up, you're obviously starting him, and 214 00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:37,440 Speaker 2: then the rest kind of aren't as valuable. But if 215 00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:40,120 Speaker 2: those top options are out to me, I think Juwan 216 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:42,600 Speaker 2: Johnson is the one that I like the most because 217 00:10:42,720 --> 00:10:45,680 Speaker 2: last week he led them in routes ran he was 218 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,560 Speaker 2: second in targets behind only christ o lave And he's 219 00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:52,480 Speaker 2: a tight end, so the floor the bar for production 220 00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:54,520 Speaker 2: at that position is just so much lower. Like if 221 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,079 Speaker 2: you start Jawan Johnson and he gives you seven Fantasy 222 00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,280 Speaker 2: points you're like, all right, that's that's pretty solid. I'll 223 00:10:59,280 --> 00:11:01,600 Speaker 2: take that. I think more than that, it is just 224 00:11:01,640 --> 00:11:03,880 Speaker 2: like a Cherry on top. I would say, at Perry 225 00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:06,600 Speaker 2: is a deeper name that I like, but him being 226 00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:09,040 Speaker 2: a receiver, I think it's kind of the floor is 227 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: similar to Johnson. 228 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,360 Speaker 1: So I'd rather play the tight. I say, if you 229 00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,719 Speaker 1: want to get dangerous, like at Perry is out there 230 00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:16,839 Speaker 1: real like, if you're getting nuts, At Perry is your guy. 231 00:11:17,640 --> 00:11:19,199 Speaker 1: He's had an in zone target in each of the 232 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:22,880 Speaker 1: last two games. The Detroit defense lately has not been 233 00:11:22,920 --> 00:11:25,560 Speaker 1: what it was early in the season. They're giving up 234 00:11:25,559 --> 00:11:28,240 Speaker 1: big yards and touchdowns in the passing games. So if 235 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:29,959 Speaker 1: you just want to roll the dice and take a 236 00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:32,520 Speaker 1: shot on at Perry, make it a couple of big plays. 237 00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: I say this, And if you want to, you know, 238 00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:37,120 Speaker 1: kind of slice it another way. If there's no Chris o'lave, 239 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:41,760 Speaker 1: maybe Perry is the downfield threat in this offense, especially 240 00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:45,280 Speaker 1: with him with no o lave and no Shahed, it 241 00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:49,280 Speaker 1: really could be at Perry downfield. But again this is uh, 242 00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,040 Speaker 1: you know, ham playing in a deep league, and I 243 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:53,600 Speaker 1: got injuries and buys and I need some help that's 244 00:11:53,640 --> 00:11:54,959 Speaker 1: when you're going to at Perry. 245 00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,679 Speaker 2: Do you think Taysom Hill starts playing receiver as well 246 00:11:57,720 --> 00:11:58,040 Speaker 2: for them? 247 00:11:58,120 --> 00:12:00,559 Speaker 1: I mean why it might happen. It's gonna be like 248 00:12:00,600 --> 00:12:02,760 Speaker 1: that Buds Bunny commercially or a cartoon, like you know, 249 00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:05,280 Speaker 1: first Base Bugs Bunny. But it's gonna be like left 250 00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: guard Taysom Hill, tie it in, Taysom Hill, quarterback Taysom Hill, 251 00:12:07,880 --> 00:12:10,640 Speaker 1: wide receiver Taysom Hills. It might work. It really might work. 252 00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,760 Speaker 1: Falcons and the Jets. Can you still trust Garrett Wilson 253 00:12:15,880 --> 00:12:17,040 Speaker 1: even with Tim Boyle? 254 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,600 Speaker 2: I think so? Last week, Look, I'm not gonna tell 255 00:12:20,640 --> 00:12:22,800 Speaker 2: you it was pretty like if you start Garrett Wilson, 256 00:12:22,840 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 2: you probably should not watch this game. But ten targets, 257 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,640 Speaker 2: seven catches, forty four yards and a touchdown last week 258 00:12:29,880 --> 00:12:32,720 Speaker 2: with Tim Boyle, he is the entire passing game, like 259 00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:35,640 Speaker 2: it's him and it's breeze Hall. Alan Lazard is a 260 00:12:35,640 --> 00:12:37,640 Speaker 2: healthy scratch. I love that the Jets have to answer 261 00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: for Lazard, Tim Boyle, and Nathaniel Hackett, Like what's going 262 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 2: on with these three? Why did you bring all of 263 00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 2: them in? But Garrett Wilson getting the volume at least 264 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,920 Speaker 2: that with six teams on by in a game where 265 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,400 Speaker 2: they're probably gonna be trailing. I think you could still 266 00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,839 Speaker 2: trust starting him. Do you think they activated Aaron Rodgers 267 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,680 Speaker 2: twenty one day window to make him answer some of 268 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,120 Speaker 2: these questions? Mate? People on Twitter were like, well, now 269 00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:01,400 Speaker 2: Garrett Wilson is going to be inspired, and I'm like, 270 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 2: do what? Yeah, exactly, Like sorry, I was. I was 271 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:09,120 Speaker 2: just a natural response to that statement. It just came 272 00:13:09,160 --> 00:13:10,080 Speaker 2: bubbling up out of me. 273 00:13:11,840 --> 00:13:14,240 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think look those questions that you asked, they 274 00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:16,600 Speaker 1: all they all come back to number twelve. That's that's 275 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,720 Speaker 1: why all those things are happening. So maybe he should 276 00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:21,240 Speaker 1: have to answer for that. As for Garrett Wilson, he 277 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:26,560 Speaker 1: actually has had at least seven catches in five of 278 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,680 Speaker 1: his last six games. So even things are bad, even 279 00:13:29,800 --> 00:13:33,520 Speaker 1: the quarterback situation being terrible, he's getting opportunities. And last 280 00:13:33,600 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: week I actually decided, I was like, I was too 281 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:40,160 Speaker 1: scared of Tim Boyle. I sat Garrett Wilson for Brandon Cooks. 282 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:42,800 Speaker 1: In the end, it ended up being about the same. 283 00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000 Speaker 1: I think. I think Wilson outscored him by zero point 284 00:13:45,040 --> 00:13:46,959 Speaker 1: two points. It ended up sort of being the same. 285 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:49,360 Speaker 1: But I think at this point like you still kind 286 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,880 Speaker 1: of roll Garrett Wilson because that's where the ball is 287 00:13:51,920 --> 00:13:53,800 Speaker 1: going in the passing game, and he continues to be 288 00:13:53,840 --> 00:13:58,199 Speaker 1: productive regardless of the quarterback situation there. Well, let's take 289 00:13:58,240 --> 00:14:05,880 Speaker 1: a break, but we'll be right back back to the 290 00:14:05,920 --> 00:14:09,680 Speaker 1: week thirteen game previews. Here, we'll head to Pittsburgh, the 291 00:14:09,720 --> 00:14:13,040 Speaker 1: Cardinals and the Steelers. A couple of revenge games at play. 292 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,800 Speaker 1: You got James Connor trying to get revenge against the 293 00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,800 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh Steelers. You got Patrick Peterson for the Steelers trying 294 00:14:19,800 --> 00:14:23,440 Speaker 1: to get revenge against the Arizona Cardinals. I'm more interested 295 00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:25,760 Speaker 1: in the running backs there. Last week was supposed to 296 00:14:25,760 --> 00:14:28,840 Speaker 1: be the Jalen Warren week. It wasn't. Is this the 297 00:14:28,960 --> 00:14:30,040 Speaker 1: Jalen Warren week? 298 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:32,600 Speaker 2: I am hopeful. I think it is a week where 299 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:35,720 Speaker 2: you start both of your running backs. My only concern, 300 00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,400 Speaker 2: and this might sound crazy given how bad the Steelers 301 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:41,200 Speaker 2: offense has been for all but just last week, but 302 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,200 Speaker 2: if this is a game where the Steelers have a lead, 303 00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:45,600 Speaker 2: it might be a little bit more where they rely 304 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,320 Speaker 2: on nause. We did see them split snaps and carries 305 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:50,880 Speaker 2: pretty much down the middle. What Warren the edge that 306 00:14:50,920 --> 00:14:52,800 Speaker 2: Warren has is he's the back that gets used more 307 00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,160 Speaker 2: in the passing game. But even so, if he's getting 308 00:14:55,200 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: like thirteen carries, he is so explosive where it just 309 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,000 Speaker 2: takes one for him to have a big fantasy games. 310 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 2: So I think you start both of your Steelers running 311 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:02,960 Speaker 2: backs this week. 312 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,280 Speaker 1: I definitely think you start both of them. I'm gonna 313 00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: be a little bit of a Debbie Downer here and 314 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,920 Speaker 1: say I think it's another Nase Harris game, just because 315 00:15:10,600 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 1: the Cardinals are bad in general against running backs in fantasy, 316 00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,600 Speaker 1: but they are especially bad against the ground game. They've 317 00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:21,520 Speaker 1: given up the second most rushing yards to the running 318 00:15:21,560 --> 00:15:25,160 Speaker 1: back position, and for all of the other shifts in 319 00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,600 Speaker 1: roles in the Pittsburgh backfield, Nag has gotten most of 320 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,240 Speaker 1: the carries most of the season. So if they go 321 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: in they're running the football, I think it's gonna be 322 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:38,560 Speaker 1: it's gonna be nause with most of the opportunities, and 323 00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: the last few weeks when they get down inside the five, 324 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,280 Speaker 1: he's the guy who's getting those opportunities. So I think 325 00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 1: volume plus touchdown upside means it's a nause game. But 326 00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,880 Speaker 1: I do think that that Jalen Warren is going to 327 00:15:49,200 --> 00:15:51,240 Speaker 1: have a good game. By Bold. Prediction for the week 328 00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: is that both Steelers running backs have at least eighty 329 00:15:54,480 --> 00:15:57,920 Speaker 1: scrimmage yards in the game, So I'm hopeful for that. 330 00:15:58,200 --> 00:16:00,560 Speaker 1: So again, I think it's a bigger game or Najie, 331 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 1: but Jalen Warren I think has some production as well. 332 00:16:03,400 --> 00:16:07,760 Speaker 1: Colts at Titans. We talked about some streaming quarterbacks. You 333 00:16:07,800 --> 00:16:10,800 Speaker 1: had Baker, I had Russ. Would you consider streaming Gardner? 334 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,160 Speaker 2: Minshew, I'd have to be pretty desperate in a two 335 00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 2: quarterback league, sure, in fourteen team league, sure, But like, 336 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 2: I just think there's a lot of better streaming options 337 00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:23,640 Speaker 2: this week. Jordan Love is one I like more. Baker 338 00:16:23,680 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: and Russ, like we said, are both options. I like more. 339 00:16:26,560 --> 00:16:30,360 Speaker 2: Derek Carr I think is a better option Minshew, Like 340 00:16:30,440 --> 00:16:32,880 Speaker 2: he scored the rushing touchdown last week, didn't throw one. 341 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,040 Speaker 2: That's the thing with him, Like, the floor is very low. 342 00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,200 Speaker 2: He's better for fantasy because he gets the ball to 343 00:16:38,240 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: Pittman and Josh downs so much. But besides that, I 344 00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:45,240 Speaker 2: don't to me, he's the last resort streaming quarterback this week. 345 00:16:45,320 --> 00:16:48,160 Speaker 2: Here's the thing with Gardner. The floor is low, the 346 00:16:48,200 --> 00:16:50,120 Speaker 2: ceiling well, it's also low. 347 00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:53,880 Speaker 1: I'm kind of with you on that that, Yeah, you 348 00:16:53,920 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: have to sort of temper your expectations two quarterback leagues, 349 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: I totally get it. In one quarterback league's you know, 350 00:17:00,840 --> 00:17:02,800 Speaker 1: you might have to be sort of looking at a 351 00:17:02,800 --> 00:17:06,120 Speaker 1: waiver wire that's very, very empty. I will say this though, 352 00:17:06,160 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: in Gardner's defense. When the Titans and Colts played earlier 353 00:17:09,720 --> 00:17:12,159 Speaker 1: this season, I think it was Week five. It was 354 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:14,280 Speaker 1: a game that Anthony Richardson started. That was when he 355 00:17:14,320 --> 00:17:18,040 Speaker 1: got hurt again. Minshew came in. He won eleven to fourteen, 356 00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,480 Speaker 1: one hundred and fifty five yards. So he threw the 357 00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:24,840 Speaker 1: ball relatively effectively against this Titans defense. We've been picking 358 00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:27,760 Speaker 1: on them with quarterbacks all year long, so that is 359 00:17:27,960 --> 00:17:31,639 Speaker 1: maybe something in favor of Gardner Minshew. But understand that 360 00:17:31,720 --> 00:17:34,400 Speaker 1: ceiling is not very high for Minshew this week, even 361 00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:38,560 Speaker 1: against what looks like a favorable matchup on paper, Dolphins 362 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:43,000 Speaker 1: and Commanders. We know which Dolphins were starting pretty much 363 00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,000 Speaker 1: all of them for the Commanders. Are there any guys 364 00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:50,920 Speaker 1: you feel confident in this week? Sam Howell one hundred 365 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:53,200 Speaker 1: percent must start court Like it doesn't matter how bad 366 00:17:53,240 --> 00:17:55,119 Speaker 1: Sam Howe plays. When you watch him, you look at 367 00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:56,440 Speaker 1: the box score at the end of the game, and 368 00:17:56,480 --> 00:17:58,320 Speaker 1: you're like, yep, this guy get needs seventeen or more 369 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:02,200 Speaker 1: Fantasy points. Terry McLaurin down game last week, but eleven 370 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 1: targets too good to ignore. Brian Robinson. The volume is 371 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,119 Speaker 1: simply too good to ignore them with buys and everything. 372 00:18:08,119 --> 00:18:09,280 Speaker 1: I think he remains in. 373 00:18:09,240 --> 00:18:12,760 Speaker 2: Play outside of that, Like I want to get excited 374 00:18:12,800 --> 00:18:15,960 Speaker 2: for one of their secondary wide receivers or Logan Thomas, 375 00:18:15,960 --> 00:18:17,439 Speaker 2: because this is a game where they're gonna have to 376 00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 2: throw the ball probably like forty fifty times as they're 377 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:23,320 Speaker 2: chasing points against the Dolphins. But it's been so weak 378 00:18:23,359 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 2: to week with John Dotson and Curtis Samuel and Logan 379 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,639 Speaker 2: Thomas that I think they're all more just like deeper 380 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:31,360 Speaker 2: flyers this week than anything that's been. The hard part 381 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 2: is like where do you go for a secondary pass 382 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:36,960 Speaker 2: catcher in this offense? You just don't know because Sam 383 00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:39,840 Speaker 2: Howell has spread the ball around. So I'm with you 384 00:18:39,880 --> 00:18:42,400 Speaker 2: on how I'm with you on McLaurin. I think at 385 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:45,800 Speaker 2: this point I won't say drop Antonio Gibson because if 386 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,879 Speaker 2: something happens to Brian Robinson, the opportunity opens up. But 387 00:18:48,920 --> 00:18:53,199 Speaker 2: you can't play Antonio Gibson. You know, Logan Thomas, you know, 388 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,080 Speaker 2: he's just he's kind of there. 389 00:18:55,359 --> 00:18:57,800 Speaker 1: You know, he's he get the casual targets, but doesn't 390 00:18:57,800 --> 00:18:59,919 Speaker 1: do anything special enough to make you want to put 391 00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:04,240 Speaker 1: him in the lineup. Yeah, it's just there're gonna be 392 00:19:04,359 --> 00:19:06,639 Speaker 1: reasons to throw the football a lot because the Dolphins 393 00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,520 Speaker 1: are going to score a lot of points and the 394 00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:10,600 Speaker 1: Commanders will be playing from behind. But there's not a 395 00:19:10,600 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: lot of people you get super excited about Broncos at 396 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: the Texans, which I think is gonna be a sneaky 397 00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:18,320 Speaker 1: fun game this week. The Bronco's playing really, really well. 398 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: We know how good the Texans are. They're very much 399 00:19:20,520 --> 00:19:24,400 Speaker 1: in playoff position right now. The Broncos have shut down 400 00:19:24,440 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 1: some quarterbacks over the last few weeks. I mean they've 401 00:19:26,640 --> 00:19:30,400 Speaker 1: slowed down Patrick Mahomes, they slowed down Josh Allen. Any 402 00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,080 Speaker 1: worries about C. J. Stroud in the Houston passing game 403 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: against Denver. 404 00:19:34,359 --> 00:19:37,159 Speaker 2: I think there's some worries there with them, Like the 405 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:39,960 Speaker 2: floor is certainly lower. The risk of these guys not 406 00:19:40,080 --> 00:19:42,520 Speaker 2: living up to what they've been doing. It is higher 407 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: in this game because of the matchup and how well 408 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 2: that secondary in Denver has been playing. That being said, 409 00:19:48,119 --> 00:19:50,119 Speaker 2: I think you have to start them like c J. 410 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:54,200 Speaker 2: Stroud has been. It should be probably the leting MVP 411 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:57,320 Speaker 2: candidate right now with how well he has been playing. 412 00:19:58,119 --> 00:20:01,119 Speaker 2: Dank Dell is going off every week. Nico Collins brings 413 00:20:01,160 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 2: such a high ceiling. Dalton Schultz, as far as tight 414 00:20:03,880 --> 00:20:07,440 Speaker 2: ends go, brings a high ceiling. So while they might 415 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:10,439 Speaker 2: disappoint you this week with six teams on by, I 416 00:20:10,520 --> 00:20:13,080 Speaker 2: don't I have a lot of Texans in different leagues. 417 00:20:13,119 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 2: I'm not even considering sitting them. 418 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: Yeah, I just don't see how you can at this point. CJ. 419 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:20,560 Speaker 1: Stroud right now looks like he may have the offensive 420 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: rookie of the year locked up. Tank Dell is bawling, 421 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:25,800 Speaker 1: Nico Collins is bawling. I guess if there's one guy 422 00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: that I wouldn't start, it might be Dalton Schultz, just 423 00:20:28,680 --> 00:20:31,600 Speaker 1: because last week Rerevin Jordan seemed to be getting more 424 00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:36,960 Speaker 1: opportunities and a committee at tight end seems like death. 425 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:39,879 Speaker 1: I don't really want any part of that, so I 426 00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:43,240 Speaker 1: might think twice about Dalton Schultz. Oh, I guess, Damian Pierce, 427 00:20:43,359 --> 00:20:46,080 Speaker 1: I'm not playing I'm not playing Damian Pierce. Maybe some 428 00:20:46,119 --> 00:20:49,920 Speaker 1: Devin Singletary, but that's pretty much it at this point 429 00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,760 Speaker 1: in Houston, so it should be a lot of fun. Though. 430 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:54,520 Speaker 1: I think we know what the big game of the 431 00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,320 Speaker 1: week is and we'll talk about that a little bit later, 432 00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:59,480 Speaker 1: but beyond that, Broncos Texans is one to pay attention to. 433 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,880 Speaker 1: That'll do it for this edition of the NFL Fantasy 434 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:06,600 Speaker 1: Football Show. Be sure to listen tomorrow when we're previewing 435 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:09,440 Speaker 1: the rest of the week thirteen slates.
