19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:09,880
Speaker 1: free agents.

20
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:15,080
Speaker 3: It's a it is a wildly exciting time. Somehow my

21
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,720
Speaker 3: podcast with bo We we spoke into existence Freddie Freeman

22
00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:21,400
Speaker 3: a while back, and then we spoke this one into existence,

23
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:24,320
Speaker 3: so I don't know what more we can do. Quite frankly,

24
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 3: like this is the peak, Like I'm just gonna start saying, well,

25
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:28,640
Speaker 3: they're gonna win the World Series for the next five years,

26
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 3: because like, what are they gonna do get a better

27
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 3: player than Otani? That's not gonna happen. So, uh, yeah,

28
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:38,880
Speaker 3: I'm we are riding high. It feels wonderful. Last season,

29
00:01:39,319 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 3: the end of it never happened.

30
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 1: This is Oh, that's it. The calendar begins now it's

31
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:52,680
Speaker 1: uh what you know? One s O in terms of

32
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:58,520
Speaker 1: our dates kind of like we do BC. Yeah, one

33
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,520
Speaker 1: it is the years, so yeah, good times ahead. But

34
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: Week fifteen full sleight of action, finally through with all

35
00:02:05,880 --> 00:02:09,680
Speaker 1: these silly bye weeks and everything else. The injury lists

36
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:12,320
Speaker 1: are amends. So as we sit down to record this

37
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,360
Speaker 1: on Thursday early afternoon East time, there are a lot

38
00:02:18,400 --> 00:02:20,880
Speaker 1: of guys that are still with a giant questionable tag.

39
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,200
Speaker 1: So we'll do our best to navigate through that, and

40
00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:28,320
Speaker 1: obviously you'll make amendments to your fantasy lineups rolling in.

41
00:02:28,480 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: We did a preview of the Thursday game. Hopefully it

42
00:02:32,919 --> 00:02:36,840
Speaker 1: was exciting. By time you're listening to this on Friday

43
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: and didn't blow too many holes, you know, with low

44
00:02:40,320 --> 00:02:47,400
Speaker 1: scores into your week fifteen finales or first round of

45
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,680
Speaker 1: the playoffs. Hopefully you earned a buy so you can

46
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: just sit and watch the carnage unaffected Bursh. You and

47
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:56,440
Speaker 1: I still battling in the Guillotine League, so more chaos

48
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,600
Speaker 1: to come. You still had money to spend, you jerk,

49
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:00,399
Speaker 1: I did.

50
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 3: Unfortunately, because of the rules, you know, Dan who got

51
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 3: chopped his players did not go to waivers. I was,

52
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:13,600
Speaker 3: I was, I was salivating at the idea. I'm like,

53
00:03:13,600 --> 00:03:15,320
Speaker 3: all right, I get to pick up Tyreek Hill, I

54
00:03:15,320 --> 00:03:16,600
Speaker 3: get to pick up Travis Kelcey.

55
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 2: Yeah.

56
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: I have no idea how many you would have been

57
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:21,119
Speaker 1: able to get before it would have been told you, hey,

58
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:23,880
Speaker 1: you've picked up enough players, Like I don't know if

59
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,080
Speaker 1: there's any anything in the league constitution that would have

60
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: stopped you from just full do full on air raid mode,

61
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,640
Speaker 1: Don Corielston.

62
00:03:33,919 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 3: But boy, I tell you well, the only thing that

63
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:40,880
Speaker 3: was holding me back was already the loaded roster that

64
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 3: I have, So it would have been just you know,

65
00:03:42,360 --> 00:03:45,240
Speaker 3: who do I drop for these guys? But it's all

66
00:03:45,280 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 3: it's all fruitless because apparently if you get chopped in

67
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 3: week fourteen, those players don't go to waivers. They have

68
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:54,680
Speaker 3: now just disappeared into the ether. Travis Kelcey is nowhere

69
00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,200
Speaker 3: to be found.

70
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,960
Speaker 1: Just absolutely insanity. Yeah, and you've forgot five near death

71
00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,080
Speaker 1: experiences on your resume as well, which is also one

72
00:04:04,080 --> 00:04:07,080
Speaker 1: of the more fun pieces of watching. You know, it's

73
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 1: the old I don't have to beat the bear. I

74
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:13,000
Speaker 1: just have to beat you, that's right. Yeah, and that's

75
00:04:13,040 --> 00:04:15,800
Speaker 1: what we're doing. All right, let's get into it week fifteen.

76
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:20,359
Speaker 1: A lot of good matchups on the slate, mention the

77
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,960
Speaker 1: injury talk. A lot of the best games will be

78
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,560
Speaker 1: reserved for later on the weekend. We've got the craziness

79
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: after your Thursday game, there are three games on Saturday,

80
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,280
Speaker 1: so you know the usual. Hey, I've got to decide

81
00:04:35,279 --> 00:04:40,360
Speaker 1: between these guys at ten am on Sunday's West Coast time.

82
00:04:40,440 --> 00:04:44,520
Speaker 1: Of course, you've got to push that envelope a little

83
00:04:44,520 --> 00:04:47,479
Speaker 1: bit in terms of those roster decisions and guys with

84
00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:51,960
Speaker 1: questionable tags. So really making sure you take your time

85
00:04:52,080 --> 00:04:56,359
Speaker 1: down on the Saturday to get the latest news and notes,

86
00:04:56,760 --> 00:04:59,360
Speaker 1: and we'll keep you covered as we can in our

87
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,440
Speaker 1: Twitter account of course, but as we do always, we've

88
00:05:02,480 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: got our top fives quarterback, running back, wide receiver, and

89
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,719
Speaker 1: then we'll do the hot plays, cold soars Ninja. Ryan,

90
00:05:09,760 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: you've got some streamers for folks to find some gold

91
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:17,039
Speaker 1: in the defensive side of things. And obviously you'll push

92
00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:18,840
Speaker 1: back on me in my lists. And then Dan will

93
00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:21,479
Speaker 1: be by, our guy, Dan Bayer at Dan Byer on

94
00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,919
Speaker 1: Fox will be by with his give me one reasons

95
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:27,839
Speaker 1: a little later on in the show. So let's start

96
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,520
Speaker 1: with the quarterbacks, and it's a lot of the usual suspects,

97
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:34,480
Speaker 1: Ryan for Week fifteen. To no one's surprised. We've got

98
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:38,040
Speaker 1: Dak Prescott a top all the MVP odds and all

99
00:05:38,040 --> 00:05:40,760
Speaker 1: that talk. I don't care. I like the philosophy and

100
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:44,080
Speaker 1: the way they're speaking as a team about the next

101
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:49,039
Speaker 1: game right just next game and advanced from their opportunity

102
00:05:49,040 --> 00:05:51,960
Speaker 1: to clinch a playoff spot, all of those things. A

103
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:55,640
Speaker 1: big date with the Buffalo Bills on the road. We

104
00:05:55,720 --> 00:05:59,880
Speaker 1: know what they've been at home, so dominant all year long.

105
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,480
Speaker 1: Have the Cowboys now a chance to go against Buffalo

106
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:05,960
Speaker 1: defense did a pretty good job against the Chiefs, but

107
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,320
Speaker 1: let's face it, this is not the Chiefs far more

108
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:11,200
Speaker 1: robust offense, So dak atop the list here, keep those

109
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,880
Speaker 1: winning ways and points flowing. Number two Lamar Jackson going

110
00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:18,640
Speaker 1: up against Jacksonville Mark Andrews going down with the injuries

111
00:06:18,720 --> 00:06:22,000
Speaker 1: forced them to reinvent themselves a little bit in terms

112
00:06:22,000 --> 00:06:24,279
Speaker 1: of the passing game, and it's in all for the better.

113
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,640
Speaker 1: You still get some points with Lamar with his legs

114
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: from time to time. He'll have to use those to

115
00:06:30,080 --> 00:06:33,960
Speaker 1: stay away from the other. Josh Allen, but looking for

116
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:38,400
Speaker 1: the emergence of Odell Beckham Junior along along side Zay

117
00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 1: Flowers to keep this offense rolling this week Rock Birdy

118
00:06:42,920 --> 00:06:46,400
Speaker 1: against Arizona. Yeah, he's all the rage and sports talk

119
00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:49,560
Speaker 1: world well. Also for your fantasy squad, a big spot

120
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,960
Speaker 1: here the emergence and the dominance of Deebo Samuel the

121
00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:56,280
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. You want to talk about a

122
00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,560
Speaker 1: boon for Purdy's stock, no question about it. Number four

123
00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:05,880
Speaker 1: Matthew Stafford, He's going up against that putrid Washington Commander's defense.

124
00:07:06,480 --> 00:07:11,440
Speaker 1: Number two, most fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. And

125
00:07:11,480 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 1: then of course Josh Allen on the other side of

126
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:16,679
Speaker 1: that game against Dallas doing it with his legs because

127
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 1: you're always assuming in short yarded situations the big guy

128
00:07:20,200 --> 00:07:23,120
Speaker 1: is gonna take it himself, give you your rushing touchdown,

129
00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,320
Speaker 1: and then we start working from there. So there's the

130
00:07:25,360 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: top five at the quarterback position.

131
00:07:28,080 --> 00:07:30,360
Speaker 3: It is a wild point that we have gotten to

132
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 3: in this season in which you are looking at these

133
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Speaker 3: five quarterbacks and Patrick Mahomes is not there. The fact

134
00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:40,160
Speaker 3: that you could be looking at a roster saying, am

135
00:07:40,200 --> 00:07:44,280
Speaker 3: I about to start Matthew Stafford over Patrick Mahomes?

136
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:47,160
Speaker 1: Yes, I think I am, And.

137
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:49,360
Speaker 4: That is wild.

138
00:07:49,440 --> 00:07:53,560
Speaker 3: I mean yeah, looking at Mahomes to top twelve finishes

139
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:57,120
Speaker 3: in his last five games, and one of those is

140
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:57,880
Speaker 3: a twelve.

141
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 1: Look at you, you're taking away the whole cold sort analysis,

142
00:08:02,480 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: So just write it down right there later on. But

143
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,840
Speaker 1: it's absolutely true, like you've got some of these heavyweights

144
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: that usually you're not thinking about it twice hell for

145
00:08:13,120 --> 00:08:16,480
Speaker 1: the Guillotine League last week, right, obviously he's injured now

146
00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,760
Speaker 1: so it doesn't matter. But I actually cut Justin Herbert. Yeah, yeah,

147
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,800
Speaker 1: after paying what four hundred dollars for him? Right, the

148
00:08:24,840 --> 00:08:28,480
Speaker 1: offense had gone cold and stale. So that's where we're at.

149
00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: The strange bedfellows that win you titles.

150
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,520
Speaker 3: You know, I said to we can extend it time.

151
00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:37,760
Speaker 3: Last six games, Mahomes is finished in the top twelve twice,

152
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,559
Speaker 3: the highest being quarterback eight on the week and that

153
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:42,800
Speaker 3: was against the Raiders. He only got to eight against

154
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,520
Speaker 3: the Raiders. He's coming off a week where he's quarterback twenty.

155
00:08:47,480 --> 00:08:50,040
Speaker 3: It's it is just wild what is going on there.

156
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,360
Speaker 3: And the matchup is not good for all the dysfunction

157
00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:55,720
Speaker 3: that's going on in New England. Yeah, the defense can

158
00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:58,439
Speaker 3: at least play there, so it's not a good matchup

159
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:02,200
Speaker 3: for him. So yeah, the matchups are fantastic for for

160
00:09:02,320 --> 00:09:05,080
Speaker 3: Rock Purty and for Matt Stafford. So uh, those are

161
00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 3: those are great plays. And I'm sure we're gonna see

162
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:11,200
Speaker 3: at least one of you know, LA's receivers in in

163
00:09:11,320 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 3: the receiver rankings. But like both Cooper Cup and Puka

164
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,680
Speaker 3: Nakua are like wide receiver one plays this week.

165
00:09:16,760 --> 00:09:20,520
Speaker 1: So well, but you know, to expand and expound upon

166
00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:23,920
Speaker 1: your your Mahomes like chew a tongue of Iloa. Yeah,

167
00:09:24,120 --> 00:09:29,439
Speaker 1: date with the Jets, Tyreek Hill banged up, wattele functional

168
00:09:29,760 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: not great. We'll talk about both those guys a little

169
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:34,960
Speaker 1: bit later on. But it's the same thing of you

170
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:38,079
Speaker 1: would you would just think they've been cruising along. You're

171
00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:41,720
Speaker 1: getting all the receiving yards from Hill, maybe not so

172
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: fast even Jared Goff, Yeah, right at home, But does

173
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:50,200
Speaker 1: it feel the same that it did three weeks ago? Right?

174
00:09:50,400 --> 00:09:50,880
Speaker 1: Not for me?

175
00:09:51,200 --> 00:09:53,960
Speaker 3: No, No, not for me either. I have him on

176
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,240
Speaker 3: a team and I can't comfortably start him. I'm going

177
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:58,160
Speaker 3: with Sam Howell this week, which is a better play

178
00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 3: in general, but especially Yeah, Goff, who has been good

179
00:10:01,760 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 3: at home for the most part this season, has really

180
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,720
Speaker 3: struggled the last couple weeks, and Denver's defense continues to

181
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 3: get better. So yeah, absolutely, there's there's a lot of

182
00:10:10,200 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 3: really tough calls in terms of matchups for a lot

183
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 3: of these top tier quarterbacks or even the mid tier.

184
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:19,000
Speaker 3: But then you have guys like Jordan Love who have

185
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,600
Speaker 3: been trending up. And yeah, you know Monday didn't go

186
00:10:21,640 --> 00:10:24,240
Speaker 3: as well as it should have. But outside of that,

187
00:10:24,360 --> 00:10:26,719
Speaker 3: you know, Love's had some really strong performances in the

188
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
Speaker 3: last few weeks. And again Sam Hollllan that that rams

189
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,120
Speaker 3: Washington game. Hopefully there's a lot of points on both

190
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,640
Speaker 3: sides there and on the other side of that Denver game.

191
00:10:36,080 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 3: I mean, you would much rather play Russell Wilson there

192
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,200
Speaker 3: than Jared Goff. So yeah, there's there's some really really

193
00:10:43,679 --> 00:10:46,720
Speaker 3: wild wild things going on at quarterback this week. And

194
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:50,040
Speaker 3: it's to headline those wild things, it's Patrick Mahomes is

195
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:51,880
Speaker 3: definitely not a top five play this week.

196
00:10:52,280 --> 00:10:54,839
Speaker 1: You are aware the wild things are forty seven and

197
00:10:54,880 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: a half Denver Detroit. You're over under for this week.

198
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:02,040
Speaker 1: All right, let's move on the running back position. Talk

199
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: about that Rams game a little bit, as we did

200
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,440
Speaker 1: well number one in our hearts and certainly for number

201
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,199
Speaker 1: one in fantasy world. And I think most of the

202
00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: fantasy owners of Kyron Williams, should this play out as

203
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,360
Speaker 1: expected any part of their winnings, and he's been rostered,

204
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,880
Speaker 1: all along's probably do something for his charity or send

205
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:27,240
Speaker 1: him a gift card to whatever his favorite thing is,

206
00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:29,640
Speaker 1: maybe bed bath and beyond. I don't know, not a

207
00:11:29,679 --> 00:11:33,679
Speaker 1: sponsor of me. But opportunity here again against Washington, and

208
00:11:34,040 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: the key here is because he's versatile and giving you

209
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: the extra points as a receiver out of the backfield.

210
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:42,600
Speaker 1: You can mix and match a little bit. Opportunity there.

211
00:11:42,800 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 1: Rashot White, one of my favorite players coming into the year.

212
00:11:45,800 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: It's good to see him getting run and still putting

213
00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,880
Speaker 1: up some points. Opportunity against Green Bay, you know the

214
00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: Bay of Pigs as Berman used to yell about it.

215
00:11:56,400 --> 00:11:59,040
Speaker 1: As my guy Jason Smith reminded me on our show

216
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 1: multiple times this week. B John Robinson going up against Carolina.

217
00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:09,280
Speaker 1: The circling the drain continues with the Panthers along the

218
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:12,439
Speaker 1: way and B John Robinson showing you what he can

219
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,480
Speaker 1: be after that slow starting why aren't you using him? Well,

220
00:12:16,080 --> 00:12:18,160
Speaker 1: you know, they saved him for good. None like my

221
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,000
Speaker 1: mom when we used to buy our stuff with the

222
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: holidays that would sit at the back of a closet

223
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:26,240
Speaker 1: and then get donated. Falcons realize they need to do

224
00:12:26,280 --> 00:12:29,600
Speaker 1: some big things here, right chasing the Buccaneers in division

225
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: after that tough loss last week. Opportunity here for Robinson

226
00:12:33,960 --> 00:12:36,840
Speaker 1: to make a statement number four sakuon Barkley again, his

227
00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 1: use as a receiver something huge here against what has

228
00:12:40,920 --> 00:12:45,440
Speaker 1: been a pretty good Saints defense. We'll get into the

229
00:12:45,480 --> 00:12:48,640
Speaker 1: particulars of how the offense is running as a whole

230
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:50,720
Speaker 1: as we go a little deeper in the podcast. Now

231
00:12:50,760 --> 00:12:52,480
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to the other side of that game again.

232
00:12:52,520 --> 00:12:57,040
Speaker 1: Alvin Kamara, after that three game suspension to start the year,

233
00:12:57,280 --> 00:12:59,160
Speaker 1: one of the few guys we've been able to count

234
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: on week after week in terms of touchcount. Output isn't

235
00:13:02,520 --> 00:13:06,080
Speaker 1: always there, and certainly red zone efficiency for the Saints

236
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,280
Speaker 1: one of the big glaring problems in the National Football League,

237
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: but his touchcount and aptitude as a receiver keeps it going,

238
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:16,560
Speaker 1: particularly with everybody banged up. I expected to get a

239
00:13:16,559 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: couple other players back, Shaheed and maybe Taysom Hill lave's

240
00:13:21,440 --> 00:13:24,319
Speaker 1: banged up a little bit. Yeah, that means more. Alvin Kamara.

241
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:29,600
Speaker 3: Okay, Mike, honest question, did you mean to not include

242
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:30,520
Speaker 3: Christian McCaffrey.

243
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:33,640
Speaker 1: I just left him off, just figuring. You know, he's

244
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: just in boldface, so why bother?

245
00:13:36,520 --> 00:13:40,000
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, yeahs like he's like number zero.

246
00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: Well, but that's that's just it, right. You know, I

247
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:45,840
Speaker 1: used to write a column for Fox sports dot Com

248
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:48,880
Speaker 1: and here's the history lesson for everybody, and it would

249
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: be the all right, I'm gonna rank these, and I

250
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 1: know Dan's philosophy of hey, I may have the best guy.

251
00:13:54,360 --> 00:13:56,760
Speaker 1: I want to hear him in this case. You know,

252
00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 1: I just left him off, just yeah, are you doing

253
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:06,040
Speaker 1: anything with Christian McCaffrey. But I guess I could argue

254
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 1: him into number two if we want to, But so

255
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 1: long as he's upright and moving and this offense is

256
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:15,920
Speaker 1: still playing. Now, there's gonna be decisions the final couple

257
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:18,640
Speaker 1: weeks of the year, and generally folks aren't using week

258
00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: eighteen for fantasy purposes, so maybe it's moot to talk

259
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: about it here. But there might be a circumstance whereby

260
00:14:25,520 --> 00:14:28,720
Speaker 1: a bunch of those guys are sitting down for the finale. Yeah,

261
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: oh right, when the forty nine ers play the Rams,

262
00:14:32,120 --> 00:14:34,400
Speaker 1: and the Rams may be fighting for a playoff spot.

263
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:36,280
Speaker 1: There's a bunch of that that could still go on.

264
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,640
Speaker 1: But until then, Yeah, McCaffrey, it just I didn't need

265
00:14:40,640 --> 00:14:43,280
Speaker 1: to believe in the point. He's really good. And when

266
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: I argued for him in the number one spot before

267
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: the year and then regretted it, it turned out pretty

268
00:14:49,280 --> 00:14:49,680
Speaker 1: well for me.

269
00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:53,119
Speaker 3: Yes, yes, well done, right, I mean it's actually.

270
00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:56,120
Speaker 1: Made me look smarter then. But I mean, most of

271
00:14:56,160 --> 00:14:58,360
Speaker 1: the time we have had this issue where the guy

272
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: drafted number one. It's like the kiss of death. It's

273
00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:06,520
Speaker 1: the fantasy Madden Jinks kind of circumstance. But yeah, McCaffrey, Yeah,

274
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,480
Speaker 1: I should have prefaced the list with it. It's like,

275
00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:11,200
Speaker 1: I'm not even gonna talk about him anymore, and now

276
00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:12,280
Speaker 1: we've spent two minutes on him.

277
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,240
Speaker 3: Well there we go. That's okay, And I do want

278
00:15:15,280 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 3: to quickly praise those efforts of Kyron Williams. I you know,

279
00:15:20,360 --> 00:15:21,840
Speaker 3: I've been gone for a couple of weeks, so I

280
00:15:21,920 --> 00:15:23,640
Speaker 3: want to I want to fill everyone in on what

281
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:27,160
Speaker 3: happened in one of my leagues. I coming into the

282
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:30,000
Speaker 3: last game of the season, according to ESPN, I had

283
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
Speaker 3: a five percent chance of making the playoffs. I was

284
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 3: playing one of the best teams in the league, and

285
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:38,280
Speaker 3: the two guys that I needed to lose were playing

286
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:40,560
Speaker 3: the two worst teams in the league. And I'm like, okay,

287
00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 3: there's this is not going to happen. Well, one of

288
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:47,280
Speaker 3: those guys loses. I ended up winning, and I was

289
00:15:47,400 --> 00:15:49,600
Speaker 3: leading going into Monday night, and I was still able

290
00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 3: to pull it out despite the weird things that happened

291
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:55,280
Speaker 3: Monday night. The other guy that I needed to lose

292
00:15:56,200 --> 00:16:00,320
Speaker 3: won his game by point zero eight, and if he

293
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 3: had lost that game, I would be in the playoffs.

294
00:16:03,640 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 3: So by point zero eight. I missed that last playoff spot,

295
00:16:07,560 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 3: but of course, you know, maybe I should have won more.

296
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 3: But the reason why I want to mention Kyen Williams

297
00:16:13,000 --> 00:16:15,640
Speaker 3: is because in this league I had a terrible Week

298
00:16:15,720 --> 00:16:19,960
Speaker 3: one and I picked up Kyen Williams. After that, I

299
00:16:20,040 --> 00:16:24,000
Speaker 3: went seven and one when Kyen Williams played. I went

300
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 3: zero to six when Kyen Williams was not playing for

301
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:27,360
Speaker 3: my team.

302
00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:28,000
Speaker 1: There you go.

303
00:16:28,720 --> 00:16:33,160
Speaker 3: So Kyen, thank you for literally carrying my roster and

304
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:37,480
Speaker 3: bringing me within point zero eight points of that playoff spot. Unfortunately,

305
00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 3: that injury happened, and if it didn't happen, maybe I

306
00:16:39,960 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 3: would have won one of those games. But you know

307
00:16:42,040 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 3: that happens. I understand. Hopefully next season you continue to

308
00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:48,120
Speaker 3: do great, because I'm going to keep you in this league.

309
00:16:48,160 --> 00:16:49,880
Speaker 3: It's a really wonderful thing.

310
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,720
Speaker 1: Yeah, that dynastic thing. Right. Oh, I grabbed a guy

311
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:58,160
Speaker 1: off Waivers. That counts as what an eighth round picks.

312
00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: So sweet Victor for you. Wide receiver position coming up

313
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:05,600
Speaker 1: next here, Ryan, as we continue again, some of the

314
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 1: usual suspects up in here. AJ Brown going up against Seattle,

315
00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:14,959
Speaker 1: their secondary depleted, and we've seen the Eagles offense struggle

316
00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 1: a bit and look for historical purposes. You notice Jalen

317
00:17:18,440 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: Hurts did not make my top five quarterbacks. They've lost

318
00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:26,479
Speaker 1: seven in a roll to Seattle, so wins losses, but Brown,

319
00:17:26,520 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: I'm expecting the points to be there on the receiving end. Look,

320
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:33,600
Speaker 1: they may not win the game, and Hurts' effort may

321
00:17:33,640 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: be a little different. Concerns I know all around Philadelphia

322
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,479
Speaker 1: right now, but let's take the points and move on.

323
00:17:40,800 --> 00:17:45,160
Speaker 1: Debo talked about him before number two at Arizona Cede

324
00:17:45,320 --> 00:17:49,760
Speaker 1: LAMB against Buffalo, putting up huge numbers week in week

325
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: out for you, Cooper Cup, as you so astutely pointed

326
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:58,120
Speaker 1: out the rise, the return, I'll put him in here.

327
00:17:58,320 --> 00:18:02,200
Speaker 1: Finally found the end zone in that crazy ass game

328
00:18:02,240 --> 00:18:05,040
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. That was a lot of fun to watch

329
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,119
Speaker 1: that play out. I had actually picked the Rams to

330
00:18:07,480 --> 00:18:09,960
Speaker 1: pull off the upset, so I got the plus seven

331
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:12,040
Speaker 1: and a half. All fine and good, But you know,

332
00:18:12,119 --> 00:18:14,680
Speaker 1: when you already picked the Bears to win, if you

333
00:18:14,720 --> 00:18:17,200
Speaker 1: could have then doubled up with the Rams winning out

334
00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:20,240
Speaker 1: right as well my two upset specials that I did

335
00:18:20,280 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: on the show with Smith, I might have spiked a

336
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:26,600
Speaker 1: football Gronk Skyle style in the studio and then finally

337
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: Michael Pittman junior numbers are there. Gardner Minshew, He'll terrorize

338
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:33,919
Speaker 1: you with some of the throws and decisions, but you

339
00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,119
Speaker 1: know what, the numbers are going to be there and

340
00:18:35,119 --> 00:18:39,199
Speaker 1: against the Pittsburgh secondary at home, pretty good spot for

341
00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,960
Speaker 1: Pittman to continue what he's done for fantasy owners this year.

342
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 3: Yeah, Pittman has been trending up incredibly nicely over this

343
00:18:46,080 --> 00:18:48,159
Speaker 3: last these last few weeks, and I think he's going

344
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,440
Speaker 3: to close out the season strong. And it is great

345
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,720
Speaker 3: to see Deebo Samuel really return to that form that

346
00:18:53,760 --> 00:18:56,919
Speaker 3: he was a couple of years ago, where he's not

347
00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,159
Speaker 3: only being heavily involved in the offense again, but he

348
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:03,520
Speaker 3: is just incredible to watch on the field, insanely elusive,

349
00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:11,199
Speaker 3: breaking tackles and breakaway speed. It's all returned for Debo.

350
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,800
Speaker 3: So it is great to see him re establish himself

351
00:19:14,800 --> 00:19:16,560
Speaker 3: as a top five fantasy receiver.

352
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 1: Well, but mixing him back into the run game given

353
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:26,240
Speaker 1: that extra complexity to the offense certainly helping Brock Purty

354
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:29,040
Speaker 1: and I know everybody gets into their system quarterbacks. How

355
00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: good is he? He's playing for the forty nine ers.

356
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:34,560
Speaker 1: He's playing for the forty nine ers right now and

357
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:38,000
Speaker 1: this is the roster they have. Yep, he cannot. It's

358
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:41,439
Speaker 1: not his fault, right, You play to what is around you.

359
00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:46,880
Speaker 1: He should not be relegated to Siberia for testing, which

360
00:19:46,920 --> 00:19:49,040
Speaker 1: is what most would suggest. Oh, let me go see

361
00:19:49,080 --> 00:19:51,800
Speaker 1: him play for this team. He's like, why why do

362
00:19:51,880 --> 00:19:54,160
Speaker 1: we wish that upon people? But that's what we do.

363
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 1: He's Ryan Burschegar. I'm Mike Carmen. Thanks for being with

00:20:53,880 --> 00:20:57,679
Speaker 1: Streaming Defenses, and Dan Bayer stops by at Dan Byron

380

Speaker 1: Fox you can wave at him with his gar me

381
00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:03,720
Speaker 1: one reason that continues as we roll on. I watch

382
00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:09,080
Speaker 1: your flex second round of action here, I watch your

383
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:13,120
Speaker 1: FLEX week fifteen. Hard to believe we're already in winning time.

384
00:21:13,160 --> 00:21:16,199
Speaker 1: Maybe your playoffs begin this week. Maybe you're in the

385
00:21:16,200 --> 00:21:19,480
Speaker 1: final throws of the regular season, or maybe you're just

386
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,400
Speaker 1: playing spoiler in the final week of your regular season.

387
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:25,359
Speaker 1: Because you have that opportunity, go be that guy. We're

388
00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,280
Speaker 1: gonna give you some advice in the hot plays. Cold

389
00:21:28,320 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: Soares Ninja's the Streaming Defense, and of course they give

390
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,080
Speaker 1: me one reason as we go through, to try to

391
00:21:35,080 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: find the diamonds in the rough to take you across

392
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:40,159
Speaker 1: the finish line. If nothing else, you'll show up at

393
00:21:40,160 --> 00:21:43,240
Speaker 1: that holiday party. You can raise your mug of whatever

394
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,840
Speaker 1: your favorite is and say gotcha. Happy holidays. All right,

395
00:21:46,880 --> 00:21:48,639
Speaker 1: So the hot plays for this week, we'll start the

396
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: quarterback position, Jordan Love going up against Hampo. You talked

397
00:21:51,960 --> 00:21:54,840
Speaker 1: about him a little bit earlier. Bush and what the

398
00:21:55,240 --> 00:21:58,280
Speaker 1: Packers offense has been able to do even last week.

399
00:21:58,359 --> 00:22:02,520
Speaker 1: No Christian Watts, and you're finding opportunities to get the

400
00:22:02,560 --> 00:22:06,040
Speaker 1: other young receivers involved. The injuries at running back continue

401
00:22:06,080 --> 00:22:09,840
Speaker 1: to be a problem. To ask point blank about the

402
00:22:10,040 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: status of AJ Dillon's thumb On Thursday, Matt Lafleur just said,

403
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:17,920
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about it all right. There you go.

404
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,200
Speaker 1: Basically someone said, hey, is his thumb broken? Yeah, I'm

405
00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: not going to dive old to anything on the specificity

406
00:22:24,560 --> 00:22:27,760
Speaker 1: of injuries. Okay, that's good for me. Russell Wilson going

407
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:29,879
Speaker 1: up against Detroit, talked about it a little bit earlier,

408
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 1: just as last week, expecting big things from the Bears.

409
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:37,240
Speaker 1: Against Aaron Glenn's squad, you saw more of it, and

410
00:22:37,280 --> 00:22:39,840
Speaker 1: I think Russell Wilson and company we either maybe this

411
00:22:39,880 --> 00:22:42,359
Speaker 1: is the week Jerry Judy gets his feet down for

412
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:46,360
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Either way, Courtland Sutton has been fantastic. You're

413
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 1: seeing the mix and match little more. Javonte Williams' success

414
00:22:51,200 --> 00:22:53,760
Speaker 1: as a runner, so more opportunity for us. So you know,

415
00:22:53,800 --> 00:22:56,800
Speaker 1: I'm not a huge Russell Wilson guy, but for fantasy purposes,

416
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,359
Speaker 1: he's been pretty steady for you all year long. Here's

417
00:22:59,359 --> 00:23:03,719
Speaker 1: an opportunity in a plus matchup against the Detroit Lions.

418
00:23:03,760 --> 00:23:07,119
Speaker 1: This is also one of those games, if I'm remembering

419
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:10,359
Speaker 1: my numbers right, one of the higher over unders of

420
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,479
Speaker 1: the week at forty seven and a half. We've got

421
00:23:13,520 --> 00:23:16,120
Speaker 1: a lot of high thirties across the board. There's one

422
00:23:16,440 --> 00:23:19,080
Speaker 1: and you know what, you also have no fear of

423
00:23:19,160 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: weather impacting this game, which is not necessarily the case

424
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:25,520
Speaker 1: in some of these other spots on the other side

425
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:27,719
Speaker 1: of that matchup, though, I do like what David Montgomery's

426
00:23:27,720 --> 00:23:30,520
Speaker 1: been doing on the ground. Denver's been great in the

427
00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,760
Speaker 1: back seven and with takeaways, but if they're smart, it's

428
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,080
Speaker 1: the ground and pound with Montgomery, and certainly any red

429
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:42,680
Speaker 1: zone opportunities are his. Derrick Henry had the monster game

430
00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: this past week. He's got a shot against Houston. Davis

431
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,120
Speaker 1: Mills probably going to go for the Texans here, and

432
00:23:50,240 --> 00:23:54,280
Speaker 1: we're looking at a huge laundry list of injuries on

433
00:23:54,320 --> 00:23:57,720
Speaker 1: the defensive side for the Texans, So an opportunity for

434
00:23:57,840 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 1: Henry and all the feel good I'm also going to

435
00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,439
Speaker 1: take his teammate DeAndre Hopkins. You saw the love fest

436
00:24:03,480 --> 00:24:06,240
Speaker 1: he had with Will Levis and he was the best

437
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:09,920
Speaker 1: player on the field in that crazy ass comeback over

438
00:24:10,000 --> 00:24:12,919
Speaker 1: the Dolphins. You know, the dual Monday night games that

439
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:16,840
Speaker 1: we had, so opportunity there. DK Metcalf once the mid

440
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:21,600
Speaker 1: season bane of my existence of a draft pick gone wrong.

441
00:24:21,640 --> 00:24:24,399
Speaker 1: Well down the stretch. He's very important for you, and

442
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:29,840
Speaker 1: here's the spot against a sinking Philadelphia secondary pass rush

443
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:33,399
Speaker 1: has been less than effective, right, a couple of outside plays,

444
00:24:33,520 --> 00:24:37,720
Speaker 1: Jalen Carter, big return, all that stuff, but you've seen

445
00:24:38,080 --> 00:24:40,080
Speaker 1: the ability. They're worn down a little bit at this

446
00:24:40,160 --> 00:24:43,359
Speaker 1: point in the year and the secondary struggling. So DK

447
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:45,960
Speaker 1: Metcalf looking for another big day from him, and that

448
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:49,399
Speaker 1: Jayden Reid going back to that Green Bay squad because

449
00:24:49,400 --> 00:24:52,679
Speaker 1: they've been using him as a runner, getting creative and

450
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,520
Speaker 1: putting the ball in his hands. I'd like to see

451
00:24:55,520 --> 00:24:58,600
Speaker 1: that continue this week against Tampa. Both teams fighting for

452
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:01,840
Speaker 1: the playoffs. So that is one the marquee games here

453
00:25:01,880 --> 00:25:02,720
Speaker 1: in Week fifteen.

454
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:06,359
Speaker 3: It's been really exciting watching Jayden Reid really develop in

455
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 3: that offense and they're finding ways to get creative with

456
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:13,280
Speaker 3: them right, Hopefully the hope is that the man becomes

457
00:25:13,280 --> 00:25:16,360
Speaker 3: the poor man's Deebo Samuel. That would just be wonderful.

458
00:25:16,920 --> 00:25:20,000
Speaker 3: So yeah, it's it's it's been. It's added an extra

459
00:25:20,040 --> 00:25:23,280
Speaker 3: layer to that passing offense that has worked incredibly well,

460
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,280
Speaker 3: and it's helping Jordan Love out a lot. And yes,

461
00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,640
Speaker 3: I like DeAndre Hopkins a ton as a play this week.

462
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:31,440
Speaker 3: He's coming off of back to back really high target counts.

463
00:25:32,359 --> 00:25:34,439
Speaker 3: It just it makes all the sense in the world

464
00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,800
Speaker 3: when you have when Will Levis is still, you know,

465
00:25:36,880 --> 00:25:39,480
Speaker 3: going through his rookie season, just throw it up there

466
00:25:39,520 --> 00:25:42,479
Speaker 3: to DeAndre Hopkins and see what happens. It will will

467
00:25:42,480 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 3: help you more times than not. So yeah, like that

468
00:25:45,520 --> 00:25:46,080
Speaker 3: play a lot.

469
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:50,520
Speaker 1: Yeah, let's always remember that Will Levis has adopted a

470
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:53,840
Speaker 1: veterans philosophy of I can throw a football over a

471
00:25:53,880 --> 00:25:58,679
Speaker 1: mountain straight out of Napoleon Dynamite. But also the you know,

472
00:25:58,760 --> 00:26:00,919
Speaker 1: as I've always said, it does have a conscience. In

473
00:26:00,960 --> 00:26:04,000
Speaker 1: other words, I got to make this throw, right. I

474
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:06,320
Speaker 1: don't have to be perfect. We need to make plays.

475
00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:10,400
Speaker 1: And I think that's really to his benefit as he's

476
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: auditioning to just be that guy down the stretch and

477
00:26:14,160 --> 00:26:21,399
Speaker 1: into the future. So for DeAndre Hopkins, a lot of teams, Chiefs, Patriots,

478
00:26:21,800 --> 00:26:26,119
Speaker 1: others wishing maybe they'd looked a little harder under the

479
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:27,840
Speaker 1: hood and brought him in. Might have been a much

480
00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:32,800
Speaker 1: different thing, right, So craziness as we get into week fifteen.

481
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:36,199
Speaker 3: Yeah, thinking about how the chief season would probably be

482
00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:40,000
Speaker 3: very different if they had DeAndre Hopkins because you one

483
00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:42,480
Speaker 3: or two of those games probably go differently because you're

484
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 3: not relying on guys who are dropping passes for you.

485
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:49,400
Speaker 3: So you know, that would have been really interesting if

486
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:50,080
Speaker 3: that had happened.

487
00:26:50,080 --> 00:26:53,120
Speaker 1: It's then well, right, I mean, it's all the good,

488
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,879
Speaker 1: as you know, But here we are week fifteen. You

489
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: got who you brought and at the deadline had opportunities

490
00:27:01,320 --> 00:27:04,680
Speaker 1: to go find playmakers. Chiefs decided not to. It's only

491
00:27:04,680 --> 00:27:08,119
Speaker 1: appropriate that that's where we start our cold stares here. Ryan,

492
00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:11,840
Speaker 1: you talked about it earlier, and making quarterback decisions did

493
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:16,600
Speaker 1: a big thing on Patrick Mahomes. So that's where I start, right.

494
00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:20,120
Speaker 1: Just from a fantasy perspective, there's always the potential that

495
00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:23,879
Speaker 1: you know, he suddenly has a big game, but at

496
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,760
Speaker 1: this point I can't count on it. And in the

497
00:27:25,760 --> 00:27:28,960
Speaker 1: fantasy playoffs, especially that six week sample size that you

498
00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,760
Speaker 1: brought up. Sure, Kelsey's gonna get his yards you're looking

499
00:27:32,800 --> 00:27:36,720
Speaker 1: at You know, Rashid Rice has been fantastic, Take nothing

500
00:27:36,760 --> 00:27:39,560
Speaker 1: away from him. The rest of it's a mess and

501
00:27:39,880 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: red zone offense. You've seen the run game Vulture, a

502
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:47,159
Speaker 1: bunch of those scores now, Pacheco at least as we

503
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:51,360
Speaker 1: record this still unlikely to go, which means more of

504
00:27:51,440 --> 00:27:55,920
Speaker 1: the Clyde Edwards Hilaire world, which is a dangerous place

505
00:27:55,960 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: to operate for fantasy owners. As we've talked about a bunch.

506
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:03,399
Speaker 1: So yeah, against New England, even no Judon and no Gonzales.

507
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 1: Like anybody that's trying to sell you that Bill Belichick

508
00:28:06,600 --> 00:28:12,719
Speaker 1: can't coach, can kiss my big shiny, pasty white dairy air.

509
00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:15,640
Speaker 1: Because we know that side is still there. Just take

510
00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:19,760
Speaker 1: away the GM functions and he'll be just fine. Anyway, continuing,

511
00:28:20,240 --> 00:28:23,240
Speaker 1: that's a podcast for another time. Trevor Lawrence going up

512
00:28:23,240 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: against Baltimore. Not trusting anybody against Baltimore right now. As

513
00:28:26,400 --> 00:28:29,280
Speaker 1: much as you know, I love my Jaguars picked before

514
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 1: the season and Trevor Lawrence at times, I just looking

515
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,400
Speaker 1: at that roster of wide receivers no, Christian Kirk, it's

516
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:39,320
Speaker 1: really the ETN story and then a little bit of

517
00:28:39,320 --> 00:28:43,000
Speaker 1: wishing and hoping beyond that. So Trevor's on the outside

518
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,640
Speaker 1: of that Top twelve for me this week, Kenneth Walker

519
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:49,200
Speaker 1: the third going up against Philly again. You can pass

520
00:28:49,240 --> 00:28:52,920
Speaker 1: on them, run game, different thing. And also Zach sharbona

521
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:55,640
Speaker 1: mixing in there. No thanks, Hey, it's funny, I said,

522
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:58,640
Speaker 1: mixing in there. I got Joe Mixing on this list.

523
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 1: He's a guy that we bribe the roller coaster with

524
00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:06,560
Speaker 1: against Minnesota run blitzes and just the overall pressure that

525
00:29:06,600 --> 00:29:10,240
Speaker 1: they have coming up again to disrupt Jake Browning, who's

526
00:29:10,280 --> 00:29:13,920
Speaker 1: been fantastic thus far. Don't get me wrong, but here's

527
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,120
Speaker 1: a dangerous spot against a very aggressive defense. Stefan Diggs

528
00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,400
Speaker 1: going up against Dallas. I expect some points in here.

529
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:25,240
Speaker 1: I'm a little reticent to look. I'll have to play

530
00:29:25,320 --> 00:29:27,840
Speaker 1: him as a WR two in one of my leagues,

531
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:32,080
Speaker 1: Ryan and the over under is fifty. But my gut

532
00:29:32,200 --> 00:29:34,720
Speaker 1: says they do everything to try to take him away,

533
00:29:35,840 --> 00:29:38,520
Speaker 1: and just say, okay, go beat us with Gabe Davis

534
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,400
Speaker 1: and Dawson Knox. Yeah, and you know, go all the

535
00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: way down. You know shak here and your secondary options,

536
00:29:46,880 --> 00:29:50,320
Speaker 1: maybe more dump offs to James Cook. That's my expectation

537
00:29:50,440 --> 00:29:51,000
Speaker 1: for this one.

538
00:29:51,920 --> 00:29:54,520
Speaker 3: And I know Dalton Kinkaid is coming in a little

539
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:58,000
Speaker 3: banged up, so yeah, but they might see like the

540
00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:03,240
Speaker 3: Dawson Knox Show instead. Yeah, no, I think that, especially

541
00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:06,320
Speaker 3: Trevor Lawrence. The matchup theres is just awful. Like you said,

542
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,560
Speaker 3: you don't want to be playing a quarterback against Baltimore

543
00:30:09,640 --> 00:30:13,000
Speaker 3: right now. And that Seahawks running back room it is

544
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:15,400
Speaker 3: wild where the first half of the season, Kenneth Walker

545
00:30:15,560 --> 00:30:19,880
Speaker 3: was so valuable for fantasy and right now it's I

546
00:30:19,880 --> 00:30:23,200
Speaker 3: don't feel right about playing them. So yeah, that's the

547
00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:27,800
Speaker 3: And that Bengals Vikings game is very interesting to me,

548
00:30:28,160 --> 00:30:31,680
Speaker 3: I think on both sides of the ball. I mean,

549
00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 3: obviously the Vikings are coming off of that baseball game

550
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:35,120
Speaker 3: they played.

551
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:35,320
Speaker 1: But.

552
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,840
Speaker 3: It's hard to see a ton of points being scored

553
00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 3: in that game. And it's not that they're two defensive stalwarts.

554
00:30:43,160 --> 00:30:47,320
Speaker 3: It's just that they do enough things right on both

555
00:30:47,400 --> 00:30:49,560
Speaker 3: of those defenses to kind of shut down what the

556
00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:53,240
Speaker 3: other offenses are being able to do right now. So yeah,

557
00:30:53,320 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 3: not a lot of pieces I like in that game.

558
00:30:56,520 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson is kind of an interesting situation that warrants

559
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 3: its own conversation because I don't I'm.

560
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: Not starting him right, I had him written at the

561
00:31:06,440 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 1: end of the list. I had two more guys on there.

562
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:11,640
Speaker 1: At Jalen Waddle, he was eight for eight one fourteen

563
00:31:12,480 --> 00:31:15,440
Speaker 1: first battle against the Jets, that was his last top

564
00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:19,720
Speaker 1: fifteen appearance. No, that's five games. That's a five game

565
00:31:19,800 --> 00:31:23,160
Speaker 1: sample size, and the targets are there and everything, but

566
00:31:23,360 --> 00:31:27,920
Speaker 1: the production has not been And for Jefferson, I'll tell

567
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,720
Speaker 1: you what, it's awful hard to argue him into a lineup.

568
00:31:30,760 --> 00:31:33,680
Speaker 1: For me. I'm after last week.

569
00:31:33,880 --> 00:31:36,960
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I know last week. It's it's scary, and

570
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:40,720
Speaker 3: especially switching to Nick Mullens, I don't, I don't know

571
00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,000
Speaker 3: how different that's going to be. And he's coming in

572
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 3: banged up. He told a bunch of kids that he's

573
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:49,640
Speaker 3: gonna play so but you know, it looks like he's

574
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:50,880
Speaker 3: he's giving it a go.

575
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: I guess you have to play him, right, right, you

576
00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,160
Speaker 1: have to play him. But this is this is one

577
00:31:58,200 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: of those all right, just hold your new ohose kind

578
00:32:00,600 --> 00:32:01,480
Speaker 1: of situations.

579
00:32:02,320 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 3: It is the weirdest so in our guillotine league. I

580
00:32:05,440 --> 00:32:10,960
Speaker 3: currently have him in in my roster, and well, part

581
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,040
Speaker 3: of the thinking is because this is a four game,

582
00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,320
Speaker 3: a four week you know, collective total that we're going for,

583
00:32:17,760 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 3: and I figure week one, I might as well go

584
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:23,880
Speaker 3: for for high risk, high reward plays, uh, to see

585
00:32:23,880 --> 00:32:26,040
Speaker 3: if I could, I could pile up some points right

586
00:32:26,080 --> 00:32:30,240
Speaker 3: off the bat. But that's the rationale behind Jefferson there.

587
00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:36,160
Speaker 3: He's he's like a back end receiver to this week,

588
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 3: and that's that that feels so weird because he shouldn't be.

589
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,880
Speaker 3: But at the same time, like you, you can't ignore

590
00:32:44,920 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 3: the situations, right, like you you still have to be

591
00:32:48,760 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: wary of the quarterback situation and you have you can't

592
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:56,320
Speaker 3: ignore the fact that that offense was so bad last week,

593
00:32:56,560 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 3: just so bad. So yeah, it is. It is a really,

594
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:05,360
Speaker 3: really weird situation to be in with Justin Jefferson. And

595
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 3: I mean if you're if you're in the playoffs with

596
00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:10,960
Speaker 3: Justin Jefferson on your roster, then you've probably had a

597
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:14,200
Speaker 3: lot of success at other at other positions anyway, and

598
00:33:14,240 --> 00:33:17,680
Speaker 3: you probably had some some solid guys to step in

599
00:33:17,720 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 3: for him anyway. So it is it is scary, especially

600
00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:28,920
Speaker 3: in a playoff matchup you're you're going into it thinking like,

601
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:32,000
Speaker 3: all right, this is it's justin Jefferson, how could this

602
00:33:32,080 --> 00:33:34,520
Speaker 3: go wrong? But we did just see it go wrong,

603
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:37,480
Speaker 3: and yeah, sure he got hurt, but that wasn't a

604
00:33:37,560 --> 00:33:39,560
Speaker 3: game where people were putting up points anyway.

605
00:33:40,360 --> 00:33:44,240
Speaker 1: Really Yeah, well, let me ask, because they were fighting

606
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:47,920
Speaker 1: about it in the doing a verbal slap fight on Thursday,

607
00:33:48,840 --> 00:33:51,400
Speaker 1: Jamar Chase saying he's the better receiver? What do you

608
00:33:51,400 --> 00:33:51,920
Speaker 1: think about that?

609
00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:59,480
Speaker 3: He's I probably still go Jefferson, But I mean, I

610
00:33:59,520 --> 00:34:01,240
Speaker 3: don't I think.

611
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: You know, I think if you're Jamar Chase, you're saying, look,

612
00:34:04,600 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I'm still putting up receptions and points, and Joe Burrow

613
00:34:07,520 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: is in a sling. Yeah, yeah, is what I would think.

614
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:16,640
Speaker 1: That guy's broken. I'm not. No. All right, last, let's

615
00:34:16,640 --> 00:34:19,200
Speaker 1: go to the Ninjas for the week. Geno going up

616
00:34:19,200 --> 00:34:23,799
Speaker 1: against Philadelphia. Also looking at Jackson Smith and Jigba as

617
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:29,000
Speaker 1: an opportunist here against that secondary again, he's probably gonna

618
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:32,520
Speaker 1: rank in the thirties. Not for me. I've got him

619
00:34:32,520 --> 00:34:35,479
Speaker 1: as a back end too. Little Tommy DeVito, I won't

620
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:40,120
Speaker 1: even do all of the fun and exciting impressions or

621
00:34:40,239 --> 00:34:44,400
Speaker 1: insert any Sopranos memes into this. I like him because

622
00:34:44,440 --> 00:34:48,080
Speaker 1: he runs right. It's like when we had that run

623
00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:52,799
Speaker 1: of Josh Dobbs starts for fantasy purposes right stop gap

624
00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:57,520
Speaker 1: solutions because of injuries and bye weeks. Tommy DeVito, a

625
00:34:57,680 --> 00:35:02,200
Speaker 1: guy that I think look for daily fantasy, is more

626
00:35:02,320 --> 00:35:04,200
Speaker 1: we're looking here. If you've got to start DeVito, you

627
00:35:04,239 --> 00:35:10,040
Speaker 1: ain't playing for a playoffs. But Wandell Robinson has emerged

628
00:35:10,160 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: last week. We've been waiting on it, or at least

629
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,520
Speaker 1: I have for him to be a bigger part of

630
00:35:14,560 --> 00:35:18,000
Speaker 1: the offense. Obviously some injury issues, but an opportunity here.

631
00:35:18,160 --> 00:35:20,880
Speaker 1: New Orleans tries to get after it upfront, so some

632
00:35:20,920 --> 00:35:24,279
Speaker 1: of those quick release and find him for some yack

633
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:28,799
Speaker 1: sleeper slash ninja. For this week, let's go with Justin

634
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: Fields against Cleveland. They're banged up. They're starting to see

635
00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:37,680
Speaker 1: some were in that secondary. If your safety goes to

636
00:35:37,760 --> 00:35:43,320
Speaker 1: the ir and you've got an offense that's operating pretty

637
00:35:43,320 --> 00:35:47,040
Speaker 1: well right now with Fields runner, but certainly his passer

638
00:35:47,120 --> 00:35:49,200
Speaker 1: rating what Dj Moore has been able to do. I'm

639
00:35:49,239 --> 00:35:51,840
Speaker 1: not saying you're gonna get a monster game here, but

640
00:35:51,920 --> 00:35:55,440
Speaker 1: I think folks are unwise to dismiss him just because

641
00:35:55,840 --> 00:36:00,880
Speaker 1: suddenly Cleveland's helmet is on the other side of the ledger.

642
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:04,520
Speaker 1: Something you'd never thought you would say. DeAndre Swift against Seattle.

643
00:36:04,960 --> 00:36:09,840
Speaker 1: He's been awful. He's been invisible spot for a potential

644
00:36:10,760 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 1: big game here again back end two with great upside,

645
00:36:15,560 --> 00:36:21,440
Speaker 1: going back to that New England game against the Chiefs.

646
00:36:21,640 --> 00:36:25,480
Speaker 1: Let's go Jack McKinnon. All right, with Pacheco still banged up,

647
00:36:25,719 --> 00:36:28,080
Speaker 1: you saw him score last week, you've been waiting on it.

648
00:36:28,160 --> 00:36:31,879
Speaker 1: Perhaps I think he's a factor in the passing game

649
00:36:31,960 --> 00:36:35,120
Speaker 1: this week against New England. Deontay Johnson. Do I want

650
00:36:35,160 --> 00:36:38,719
Speaker 1: really much of any shares of the Steelers. No, but

651
00:36:38,760 --> 00:36:42,239
Speaker 1: the target counts up. Trubisky under center an opportunity here

652
00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:45,800
Speaker 1: against the Colds defense. And finally, Curtis Samuel against the

653
00:36:45,880 --> 00:36:49,080
Speaker 1: Rams thirteen catches his last two weeks, and this is

654
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:52,439
Speaker 1: one where we would expect to see some points here,

655
00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:56,879
Speaker 1: Ryan Berscheger, fifty and a half is you're over undertotal

656
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:59,920
Speaker 1: and that is the highest of week fifteen.

657
00:37:00,080 --> 00:37:02,799
Speaker 3: Oh, we love it, We love it. Yes, please give

658
00:37:02,840 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 3: us a ton of points in that game. That wouldn't

659
00:37:05,239 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 3: That would be a lot of fun because there's a

660
00:37:06,920 --> 00:37:10,080
Speaker 3: lot of a strong plays on both sides of that game.

661
00:37:10,160 --> 00:37:13,440
Speaker 3: Offensively looking at the Giants here and you you know,

662
00:37:13,719 --> 00:37:18,280
Speaker 3: mentioned DeVito and Wandell. How do you view Darren Waller

663
00:37:18,320 --> 00:37:21,640
Speaker 3: this week? He's been designated to return from IR He

664
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:28,319
Speaker 3: looks like he'll probably play What do you view like, like,

665
00:37:28,600 --> 00:37:31,360
Speaker 3: is he startable? And in what sort of situations is

666
00:37:31,400 --> 00:37:31,960
Speaker 3: he startable?

667
00:37:32,880 --> 00:37:36,640
Speaker 1: Well, if we go down our tight end listings, right,

668
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:41,360
Speaker 1: is he cracking the top twelve? If I've been starting Kincaid,

669
00:37:41,880 --> 00:37:44,960
Speaker 1: I might get a little cute, right because he's banged

670
00:37:45,040 --> 00:37:50,240
Speaker 1: up and Dawson Knox's back, but Goddard's in a good spot,

671
00:37:50,880 --> 00:37:53,840
Speaker 1: likely against Jacksonville. Like these are the guys we'd be

672
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:56,799
Speaker 1: looking at the back end of that tight end one

673
00:37:56,960 --> 00:38:01,359
Speaker 1: right after that, I could, I could argue him into

674
00:38:01,400 --> 00:38:04,920
Speaker 1: the lineup, I think if they're going to activate him, right,

675
00:38:04,960 --> 00:38:07,439
Speaker 1: because the report was they were going to go into

676
00:38:07,480 --> 00:38:09,080
Speaker 1: the twenty one day window. Now all of a sudden

677
00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:11,600
Speaker 1: it's like, well maybe, And I think part of it

678
00:38:12,320 --> 00:38:14,400
Speaker 1: in boldened by the fact that the back end of

679
00:38:14,400 --> 00:38:18,359
Speaker 1: the NFC playoff pictures so murky. If you can get

680
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:22,480
Speaker 1: any production out of him and steal another win all

681
00:38:22,480 --> 00:38:25,719
Speaker 1: of a sudden, maybe you get your chaos scenarios here

682
00:38:25,840 --> 00:38:29,080
Speaker 1: down the stretch. So yeah, I think I could. I mean,

683
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:35,600
Speaker 1: you'd argue him in over Craft or over Hunter Henry. Yeah,

684
00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:38,520
Speaker 1: I think I'm in like the guy. I guess you

685
00:38:38,560 --> 00:38:40,960
Speaker 1: know on the back end that the two guys that

686
00:38:41,200 --> 00:38:44,360
Speaker 1: I think are kind of curious for me, Tanner Hudson

687
00:38:44,400 --> 00:38:48,960
Speaker 1: of Cincinnati and Taysom Hill coming back off injury. Right,

688
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:52,000
Speaker 1: so you've got that in the mix as well. There's

689
00:38:52,040 --> 00:38:54,560
Speaker 1: another two guys. But I mean, you're not starting him

690
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:57,520
Speaker 1: over any of the top guys, no, right, even in

691
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:02,160
Speaker 1: maybe less than advantageous matchups like Laporta against Denver. Denver's

692
00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,680
Speaker 1: back seven has been playing really well. But are you

693
00:39:05,040 --> 00:39:08,200
Speaker 1: You're not shutting him down. He's the only guy. It's

694
00:39:08,280 --> 00:39:11,600
Speaker 1: him and i'man Ross Saint Brown are the only two

695
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,719
Speaker 1: receivers you trust in there. TJ. Hockinson. As weird as

696
00:39:16,719 --> 00:39:18,680
Speaker 1: that game may end up being, it's one of the

697
00:39:18,719 --> 00:39:22,879
Speaker 1: fascinating games like we've been talking about, and what you're

698
00:39:22,880 --> 00:39:25,040
Speaker 1: gonna get out of Nick Mullins, I don't know, but

699
00:39:25,120 --> 00:39:27,280
Speaker 1: I know Hockinson's going to see a bunch of targets.

700
00:39:27,520 --> 00:39:30,439
Speaker 1: I know for fantasy owners last week, they were really

701
00:39:30,480 --> 00:39:34,280
Speaker 1: excited when a few balls got his way down the stretch.

702
00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,240
Speaker 1: But yeah, I'll start him over Kyle Pitts, I'll start

703
00:39:37,280 --> 00:39:44,600
Speaker 1: him over Kincaid and maybe over over Cole Kmet against Cleveland.

704
00:39:45,160 --> 00:39:48,560
Speaker 1: But if he's active, it's awful hard to you know,

705
00:39:49,160 --> 00:39:52,040
Speaker 1: it's hard to argue him too high. But by the

706
00:39:52,080 --> 00:39:56,319
Speaker 1: same token man two weeks ago, there's no chance you

707
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:58,960
Speaker 1: were thinking he was coming back based on where they were.

708
00:39:59,280 --> 00:40:02,319
Speaker 3: Right and with that tight end scope as well. I

709
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:06,120
Speaker 3: know we've talked about like starting Trevor Lawrence is a

710
00:40:06,440 --> 00:40:08,960
Speaker 3: is a hard play because of that Baltimore matchup, But

711
00:40:09,000 --> 00:40:11,040
Speaker 3: you can't ignore the fact that Evan Ingram's been a

712
00:40:11,120 --> 00:40:14,399
Speaker 3: top three tight end. We so yeah, he's still got

713
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:17,239
Speaker 3: to be pretty locked in there. David and Joku looked

714
00:40:17,239 --> 00:40:21,680
Speaker 3: great last week, and that Joe Flacco offense is is

715
00:40:21,719 --> 00:40:22,360
Speaker 3: gonna be flying.

716
00:40:22,600 --> 00:40:29,680
Speaker 5: So about that, I mean, he is what he he

717
00:40:29,880 --> 00:40:33,760
Speaker 5: has already, like more two hundred and fifty yard passing

718
00:40:33,760 --> 00:40:36,720
Speaker 5: games for the Browns than Deshaun Watson has is something

719
00:40:36,920 --> 00:40:39,560
Speaker 5: I saw a number like that, Like he's he has

720
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,840
Speaker 5: two games as of a certain amount of passing yards

721
00:40:42,840 --> 00:40:44,239
Speaker 5: and Watson's only done at once.

722
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:49,359
Speaker 1: So it is Look, man, people are angry, you know that.

723
00:40:50,440 --> 00:40:55,560
Speaker 1: So it is it is insane right now, the landscape

724
00:40:55,600 --> 00:40:59,000
Speaker 1: as we finish out this year and what might be

725
00:40:59,200 --> 00:41:03,839
Speaker 1: to come. But yeah, the return of Waller certainly, I mean,

726
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:06,799
Speaker 1: I think some fantasy owners are pretty fired up about it.

727
00:41:07,520 --> 00:41:10,200
Speaker 1: And depending on your league settings, you may have one

728
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,680
Speaker 1: of those running back, wide receiver tight end positions where

729
00:41:14,719 --> 00:41:18,920
Speaker 1: maybe you don't love your option, you're like, well, young

730
00:41:19,160 --> 00:41:22,719
Speaker 1: quarterback's best friend are usually the running back, or you

731
00:41:22,760 --> 00:41:25,799
Speaker 1: know guys like jan Dale Robinson on the edge that

732
00:41:25,840 --> 00:41:28,360
Speaker 1: you can use in different ways and their tight ends.

733
00:41:28,400 --> 00:41:31,440
Speaker 1: So the return of Waller could be huge. So yeah,

734
00:41:31,480 --> 00:41:35,279
Speaker 1: so that's the end of my extensive list. Bursh. I mean,

735
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,520
Speaker 1: it is a crazy week. Some of these matchups, I

736
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:40,640
Speaker 1: don't know for fantasy purposes, I want to touch with

737
00:41:40,680 --> 00:41:43,719
Speaker 1: the ten football, but we celebrate all of them here

738
00:41:43,719 --> 00:41:45,160
Speaker 1: on I watch a flex that's.

739
00:41:45,160 --> 00:41:50,080
Speaker 3: Right, that's right, and it certainly is something to have

740
00:41:50,120 --> 00:41:54,120
Speaker 3: these matchups land in what for many people is the

741
00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,239
Speaker 3: first week of fantasy playoffs. So best of luck to

742
00:41:57,320 --> 00:41:58,920
Speaker 3: everybody in these matchups.

743
00:41:59,239 --> 00:42:03,360
Speaker 1: Breaking as we have been talking here again. It's Thursday,

744
00:42:03,400 --> 00:42:08,760
Speaker 1: about noon Pacific time. As Ryan and I are laying

745
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:12,160
Speaker 1: this down, Dan in the middle of some on airwork.

746
00:42:12,239 --> 00:42:14,560
Speaker 1: He'll be by a little bit later to do they

747
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:19,040
Speaker 1: give me one reasons. Jaren Hall is now the backup

748
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,840
Speaker 1: to Nick Mullins in Minnesota. Josh Dobbs has been relegated

749
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:31,239
Speaker 1: to third string. Poor guy, wild run it has been.

750
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:33,239
Speaker 1: And there you go.

751
00:42:33,440 --> 00:42:33,799
Speaker 4: All right.

752
00:42:33,840 --> 00:42:37,360
Speaker 1: He's Ryan Burschegar on Mike Harman at Ryan Burschegar on Twitter.

753
00:42:37,400 --> 00:42:40,640
Speaker 1: Find me over at Swollen Dome, you know, for all

754
00:42:40,719 --> 00:42:44,640
Speaker 1: your ranting needs. As we go, we got one more

755
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:47,600
Speaker 1: segment left to go. We've got Ryan with his streaming defenses,

756
00:42:47,640 --> 00:42:50,799
Speaker 1: and then Dan will swing by with his reasons to

757
00:42:50,960 --> 00:42:54,800
Speaker 1: sit and start one player on either side of the ledger.

758
00:42:54,840 --> 00:42:57,600
Speaker 1: Here Week fifteen, it's winning time and this as I

759
00:42:57,680 --> 00:42:58,440
Speaker 1: watch a flex.

760
00:43:00,400 --> 00:43:01,799
Speaker 4: Hey, it's me Dan Byer.

761
00:43:01,920 --> 00:43:03,760
Speaker 6: You heard Mike and Ryan give you all the rankings

762
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,319
Speaker 6: and the hot plays and whatnot. So now I'm here

763
00:43:06,480 --> 00:43:09,319
Speaker 6: with Ryan to give you our tidbits that we love

764
00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:12,680
Speaker 6: to give you each week. Bursch has got some streaming defenses.

765
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:14,960
Speaker 6: Then I'll chime in with my give you one reason

766
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:18,279
Speaker 6: to start and bench someone. Also some Survivor picks. By

767
00:43:18,280 --> 00:43:20,520
Speaker 6: the way, if you're alive in a Survivor pool right now,

768
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,160
Speaker 6: we need a chunk of whatever you're still remaining. Because

769
00:43:25,600 --> 00:43:27,759
Speaker 6: we're in week fifteen here, and if you've listened to

770
00:43:27,840 --> 00:43:31,759
Speaker 6: this advice had gotten this far, I think we need

771
00:43:31,760 --> 00:43:34,440
Speaker 6: a little tip or something. My Survivor life ended in

772
00:43:34,480 --> 00:43:38,360
Speaker 6: week twelve, Bursch. It was a tough one. Still not

773
00:43:38,480 --> 00:43:41,600
Speaker 6: over it three weeks later, but the Big Circle one

774
00:43:41,600 --> 00:43:44,719
Speaker 6: in Vegas with the nine million dollar pot is down

775
00:43:44,760 --> 00:43:46,040
Speaker 6: to thirteen entries.

776
00:43:46,160 --> 00:43:46,480
Speaker 4: Wow.

777
00:43:46,600 --> 00:43:49,080
Speaker 6: So yeah, So if you've made it this far, quite

778
00:43:49,160 --> 00:43:51,240
Speaker 6: the run in Survivor pools.

779
00:43:52,800 --> 00:43:56,520
Speaker 3: That's incredible. Also, only one episode left of Survivor this season,

780
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:58,680
Speaker 3: so finale is next week.

781
00:43:59,040 --> 00:43:59,879
Speaker 4: Did you catch up?

782
00:44:00,120 --> 00:44:01,560
Speaker 3: I am yes, I am got up.

783
00:44:02,239 --> 00:44:04,680
Speaker 6: I did watch last night, but my wife did not,

784
00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:06,719
Speaker 6: and I have not told her that I've watched. So

785
00:44:06,760 --> 00:44:09,640
Speaker 6: we have a sick boy at home, so she was

786
00:44:09,680 --> 00:44:11,920
Speaker 6: tending to him and while they were zonked out because

787
00:44:12,280 --> 00:44:16,320
Speaker 6: he was zonked out, I may have watched what transpired. Anyway,

788
00:44:16,600 --> 00:44:17,640
Speaker 6: Streaming Defense is time.

789
00:44:17,680 --> 00:44:20,879
Speaker 4: Who do you like? In Week fifteen of the NFL season.

790
00:44:20,680 --> 00:44:23,600
Speaker 3: So there's a couple interesting matchups. I'm playing the Falcons

791
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:26,600
Speaker 3: defense in a lot of places. They have the Panthers

792
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:30,680
Speaker 3: this week, and so you know, a strong I feel

793
00:44:30,719 --> 00:44:34,360
Speaker 3: like a decent fade there with the Panthers.

794
00:44:34,360 --> 00:44:35,560
Speaker 4: Whether also a factor there.

795
00:44:35,560 --> 00:44:39,560
Speaker 3: It's going to rain, yes, yes, exactly. So it feels

796
00:44:39,600 --> 00:44:43,040
Speaker 3: weird given that you know they're used to I very

797
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:46,360
Speaker 3: much subscribe to for a while. Hey play defenses against

798
00:44:46,360 --> 00:44:48,759
Speaker 3: New York teams and then suddenly Tommy DeVito and Zach

799
00:44:48,800 --> 00:44:50,399
Speaker 3: Wilson or your players.

800
00:44:50,080 --> 00:44:50,439
Speaker 4: Of the week.

801
00:44:50,520 --> 00:44:54,040
Speaker 3: So but I mean, if you have the Saints defense,

802
00:44:54,600 --> 00:44:57,000
Speaker 3: I still think that's a fine play, because the Saints

803
00:44:57,080 --> 00:44:59,960
Speaker 3: defense is good. But one spot that I'm looking at

804
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:03,920
Speaker 3: as I think an intriguing stream is the Bengals defense

805
00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:08,480
Speaker 3: against the Vikings. Of course, you have the quarterback issues.

806
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,759
Speaker 3: Nick Mullins is going to make his first starts, and

807
00:45:10,800 --> 00:45:13,640
Speaker 3: even like Jaren Hall is the backup to Nick Mullins,

808
00:45:13,760 --> 00:45:18,600
Speaker 3: Josh Dobbs has been demoted to third string, and Mike

809
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:20,840
Speaker 3: and I talked about how it feels so weird in

810
00:45:20,840 --> 00:45:24,440
Speaker 3: this matchup. It's hard to feel very confident in playing

811
00:45:24,480 --> 00:45:27,600
Speaker 3: even justin Jefferson, just because of the way the Vikings

812
00:45:27,600 --> 00:45:31,479
Speaker 3: offense looks looked last week. The Bengals defense is only

813
00:45:31,480 --> 00:45:33,440
Speaker 3: owned in about fifteen percent of leagues, and this is

814
00:45:33,440 --> 00:45:36,319
Speaker 3: the defense is able to get after the quarterback. And

815
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:38,920
Speaker 3: again you've got Nick Mallins playing quarterback. They only gave

816
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:42,359
Speaker 3: up eight points to the Colts last week, so I

817
00:45:42,400 --> 00:45:45,000
Speaker 3: think that there's a pretty strong play here with the

818
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,040
Speaker 3: Bengals defense. And then you can hold on to them

819
00:45:47,080 --> 00:45:49,279
Speaker 3: too because they got the Steelers the following week.

820
00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:51,719
Speaker 6: A lot of love with the Bengals, but we've seen

821
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,480
Speaker 6: it on the offensive side of the football because of

822
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:57,360
Speaker 6: Jake Browning's work that he's been able to do in

823
00:45:57,520 --> 00:46:01,799
Speaker 6: absence of Joe Burrow. But here you taking the defenses,

824
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,760
Speaker 6: I'll just transition to the survivor pick because you mentioned

825
00:46:04,800 --> 00:46:07,600
Speaker 6: one of them. I think Saints are a good pick.

826
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:10,880
Speaker 6: Green Bay did not get after Tommy DeVito. I do

827
00:46:10,960 --> 00:46:13,640
Speaker 6: not think that the Giants have figured out their offensive

828
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:14,240
Speaker 6: line issues.

829
00:46:14,239 --> 00:46:16,440
Speaker 4: I don't think that's the case. So I do think

830
00:46:16,480 --> 00:46:18,000
Speaker 4: that the Saints are able to make ay.

831
00:46:18,160 --> 00:46:20,760
Speaker 6: Saints are going to be a little question mark because

832
00:46:20,960 --> 00:46:23,160
Speaker 6: at the time of this recording, Chris Olave status is

833
00:46:23,239 --> 00:46:25,719
Speaker 6: up in the air. But still Saints are a better

834
00:46:25,719 --> 00:46:29,160
Speaker 6: football team. They should be able to at least wreak

835
00:46:29,239 --> 00:46:32,160
Speaker 6: some havoc and get a win against the Giants, the

836
00:46:32,280 --> 00:46:35,359
Speaker 6: other team that I'm giving you again, you can't pick

837
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:38,400
Speaker 6: the top ones because you're likely I left them available,

838
00:46:38,680 --> 00:46:40,680
Speaker 6: you've already picked them. But if there is one available

839
00:46:40,680 --> 00:46:42,880
Speaker 6: for a top team, I think a lot of people

840
00:46:42,880 --> 00:46:45,719
Speaker 6: have not picked the Eagles yet. I do actually like

841
00:46:45,800 --> 00:46:48,640
Speaker 6: that spot in Seattle. I usually don't pick road games,

842
00:46:48,680 --> 00:46:50,840
Speaker 6: but if you do have the Eagles, this would be

843
00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,880
Speaker 6: the time to do it. Then the other one. Honestly,

844
00:46:52,960 --> 00:46:55,120
Speaker 6: if the Texans are going to be as shorthanded as

845
00:46:55,160 --> 00:46:59,680
Speaker 6: they are, we expect Davis Mills to probably start on Sunday. Yeah,

846
00:46:59,760 --> 00:47:04,040
Speaker 6: give me Tennessee in the Survivor pick for that matchup.

847
00:47:03,800 --> 00:47:06,800
Speaker 3: And if it is, Yeah, with Davis Mills going, I

848
00:47:06,840 --> 00:47:11,400
Speaker 3: would play that Titans defense. I would because quite frankly,

849
00:47:12,440 --> 00:47:16,160
Speaker 3: I'm not scared of Davis Mills. They did offense works

850
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,960
Speaker 3: as CJ. Stroud goes, and especially with no tank Dell

851
00:47:20,120 --> 00:47:24,520
Speaker 3: and their running situation just not working as well the

852
00:47:24,600 --> 00:47:27,640
Speaker 3: last couple of weeks. Yeah, I would take that Titans

853
00:47:27,640 --> 00:47:28,920
Speaker 3: defenses as bad as they've been.

854
00:47:29,120 --> 00:47:30,680
Speaker 6: Now, I give you a reason to start a guy

855
00:47:30,719 --> 00:47:32,160
Speaker 6: and a reason to benj a guy. And I know

856
00:47:32,200 --> 00:47:35,760
Speaker 6: it's risky, but I think we're seeing a pattern. Gabe

857
00:47:35,840 --> 00:47:39,800
Speaker 6: Davis is not recorded a reception in three out of

858
00:47:39,840 --> 00:47:42,839
Speaker 6: the last five games for the Buffalo Bills, but it's

859
00:47:42,840 --> 00:47:46,719
Speaker 6: been every other so he's now on pace to have

860
00:47:47,080 --> 00:47:49,480
Speaker 6: a reception and I think he's going to get some

861
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,520
Speaker 6: play against the Cowboys. I think there will be more

862
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:55,640
Speaker 6: focus on Stefan Diggs. Give me Gabe Davis to bounce

863
00:47:55,680 --> 00:47:57,960
Speaker 6: back from the goose egg from last week in Kansas City.

864
00:47:58,239 --> 00:47:59,319
Speaker 4: Is your reason to start a guy.

865
00:47:59,400 --> 00:47:59,600
Speaker 1: Yeah.

866
00:47:59,600 --> 00:48:01,480
Speaker 3: This is part of the reason why Harmon had had

867
00:48:01,520 --> 00:48:04,400
Speaker 3: Digs as a cold sore. He feels like that the

868
00:48:04,400 --> 00:48:06,640
Speaker 3: defense is going to focus in on Stefan Diggs and

869
00:48:06,760 --> 00:48:10,200
Speaker 3: leaving a lot more opportunity for the other Bills receiving options.

870
00:48:10,200 --> 00:48:13,440
Speaker 3: And I think, so Davis, that that should open the

871
00:48:13,440 --> 00:48:16,600
Speaker 3: field pretty well for Gabe Davis. Dalton Kinkaid is banged up,

872
00:48:16,880 --> 00:48:21,240
Speaker 3: he's still questionable at the moment, so they're passing options

873
00:48:21,360 --> 00:48:24,480
Speaker 3: will be pretty limited. So that should follow the pattern

874
00:48:24,560 --> 00:48:26,839
Speaker 3: and give Gabe Davis a decent game.

875
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:31,759
Speaker 6: And I'm going to follow the pattern of rejuvenized football

876
00:48:32,160 --> 00:48:36,799
Speaker 6: and I believe that the Jets are feeling rejuvenized. Dolphins

877
00:48:37,160 --> 00:48:39,960
Speaker 6: short week, we still have Tyreek Hill dealing with the ankle.

878
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:42,280
Speaker 6: I don't think the Jets are going to be embarrassed

879
00:48:42,320 --> 00:48:45,080
Speaker 6: by the Dolphins. So bench to a tongue of Iiloa.

880
00:48:45,239 --> 00:48:49,320
Speaker 6: That is my little big game hunting. Jets are the

881
00:48:49,400 --> 00:48:50,759
Speaker 6: road team, but I don't think you're going to see

882
00:48:50,760 --> 00:48:52,880
Speaker 6: a thirty four to thirteen matchup like we saw on

883
00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:56,279
Speaker 6: Black Friday. To in that first meeting did throw for

884
00:48:56,280 --> 00:48:59,680
Speaker 6: two hundred and forty yards and a touchdown was picked

885
00:48:59,719 --> 00:49:02,520
Speaker 6: off twice. But I think that there are some issues

886
00:49:02,680 --> 00:49:04,920
Speaker 6: with the Dolphins, and I don't think this is a

887
00:49:04,920 --> 00:49:08,960
Speaker 6: get right game, So bench Tua in Week fifteen against

888
00:49:09,000 --> 00:49:09,480
Speaker 6: the Jets.

889
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:13,880
Speaker 3: I agree, it is hard to feel strongly about Tua

890
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,640
Speaker 3: in this matchup, and this is part of the reason

891
00:49:15,680 --> 00:49:19,440
Speaker 3: why too many people ahead of their trade deadlines, if

892
00:49:19,480 --> 00:49:22,120
Speaker 3: you were in a strong playoff position, you might have

893
00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:26,160
Speaker 3: looked at moving off of Tua because the Dolphins playoff

894
00:49:26,280 --> 00:49:31,160
Speaker 3: fantasy playoff schedule is not good and especially for quarterbacks.

895
00:49:31,239 --> 00:49:34,839
Speaker 3: So yeah, Unfortunately, if you're if you're riding Tua into

896
00:49:34,880 --> 00:49:38,200
Speaker 3: the postseason, you've got to hope that you have different options.

897
00:49:38,239 --> 00:49:41,880
Speaker 3: I'm in one game where it's a consolation game, so whatever.

898
00:49:42,160 --> 00:49:48,160
Speaker 3: But I've got I have Gino Smith on the bench,

899
00:49:48,160 --> 00:49:52,759
Speaker 3: and I'm like, I mean maybe quite frankly, it's it

900
00:49:52,840 --> 00:49:54,040
Speaker 3: is a better matchup for him.

901
00:49:54,080 --> 00:49:57,600
Speaker 6: There's yeah, there's Gino Smith on one leg in one arm.

902
00:49:57,640 --> 00:50:01,279
Speaker 6: Could be a better option against an Egos defense that

903
00:50:01,320 --> 00:50:04,120
Speaker 6: probably should be feisty. That tells you a lot. All right,

904
00:50:04,120 --> 00:50:06,879
Speaker 6: there it is. That's the pot entering Week fifteen. Good

905
00:50:06,960 --> 00:50:08,760
Speaker 6: luck in the playoffs if you're in, If you're wrapping

906
00:50:08,800 --> 00:50:10,960
Speaker 6: up your regular season, good luck there. Hope you get

907
00:50:10,960 --> 00:50:13,759
Speaker 6: to win that you need to propel you to Fantasy greatness.

908
00:50:14,080 --> 00:50:14,680
Speaker 4: We'll be back.

909
00:50:14,719 --> 00:50:17,600
Speaker 6: We'll also have episodes throughout the holidays as well, so

910
00:50:17,680 --> 00:50:19,799
Speaker 6: don't think we're going to leave you hanging. But for

911
00:50:19,920 --> 00:50:22,280
Speaker 6: Mike Carmen and Ryan Berschinger, I'm Dan Bayer.

912
00:50:22,360 --> 00:50:23,680
Speaker 4: This is Ben. I want your flex
