1
00:00:00,760 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: At least. He's The Drive with Dale Lolly and Matt

2
00:00:03,720 --> 00:00:09,840
Speaker 1: Williamson on Home of the Black and Gold Steelers Nation Radio.

3
00:00:14,160 --> 00:00:16,639
Speaker 1: Welcome back to the Drive. I'm Dale Lollly, he is

4
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,400
Speaker 1: Matt Williamson, and it is time for the Fantasy Football Focus,

5
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,720
Speaker 1: as we do every Tuesday. Let's take a look first

6
00:00:22,880 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 1: at this week's schedule, figure out who are streaming, defensive

7
00:00:27,040 --> 00:00:31,280
Speaker 1: picks are everybody's right? This is kind of a big

8
00:00:31,320 --> 00:00:34,760
Speaker 1: deal this week, and and obviously we're into deep into

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: the playoffs now, um, but there's also DFS which is nice,

10
00:00:39,240 --> 00:00:43,240
Speaker 1: and everybody's playing this week without a doubt. Thursday game,

11
00:00:43,400 --> 00:00:46,760
Speaker 1: this one's intriguing. It's not bad. The six and eight

12
00:00:46,840 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 1: Jaguars at the seven and seven Jets. The Jets defense

13
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,920
Speaker 1: has been a must start. Do you trust them against

14
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: the Jags? Yeah, I still think they're basically must start.

15
00:00:56,600 --> 00:00:57,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know if i'd play him against

16
00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:02,360
Speaker 1: the Chiefs or the Bill, but it is in New York. Yeah,

17
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:04,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure there'll be some sort of weather. Yeah. I mean,

18
00:01:04,760 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: it's not a great matchup for the Jets tea, but

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,759
Speaker 1: I don't think I can bention them, and you can't

20
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:13,240
Speaker 1: well maybe can you start the Jags against Zack Wilson. Yeah,

21
00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:15,640
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm bet it's a top twelve. Yeah, I

22
00:01:15,640 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: mean it was just seventeen game right last week. I

23
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:22,039
Speaker 1: mean this could be a race. Yeah, so it's not.

24
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,080
Speaker 1: You know, Uh, the Saturday games at one o'clock, you

25
00:01:27,200 --> 00:01:29,720
Speaker 1: have the five and nine Falcons at the nine and

26
00:01:29,720 --> 00:01:33,400
Speaker 1: five Ravens. Fire up the Ravens defense against Ritter. That's

27
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,000
Speaker 1: a terrible matchup for them too, because Ravens do stop

28
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:38,000
Speaker 1: the run and I'm sure Falcons will get some yards

29
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: on the ground, don't run the ball. They won't score

30
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:43,200
Speaker 1: many points, not many, Yeah, but the Ravens might not either.

31
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: You're not playing the Falcons EO. Probably not. But are

32
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,320
Speaker 1: the Ravens gonna run away from the Falcons even we

33
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:52,400
Speaker 1: think Lamar's playing. I don't think he is. I don't

34
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: think so either. I'm not playing the Falcons. Though they

35
00:01:55,280 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: don't be good players. I think there's really coming and

36
00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,400
Speaker 1: turning into junk and if they can to, the Ravens

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: offense have any good players. I don't know they should

38
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:07,080
Speaker 1: run on Atlanta. They should, but I think Atlanta will

39
00:02:07,120 --> 00:02:10,639
Speaker 1: have some success running on them, as they always do. Yeah.

40
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:12,160
Speaker 1: I mean it's kind of like this could be a

41
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:17,320
Speaker 1: race of I'm a start in Atlanta. Okay, did you

42
00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:19,239
Speaker 1: fire up the Ravens for sure that once they you

43
00:02:19,280 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 1: can get a court Darrel Patterson kick return? You could?

44
00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:26,280
Speaker 1: You could? Maybe I don't. I can't imagine that they're

45
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: not good. They've got the best kick returner in NFL history. Great,

46
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:32,079
Speaker 1: but he still only does it once or twice a year.

47
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:34,160
Speaker 1: It's not like it's every week. And Tucker might kick

48
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:35,680
Speaker 1: the ball out of the end zone. I think he

49
00:02:35,720 --> 00:02:37,800
Speaker 1: could do that, although the weather should be a factor

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:39,880
Speaker 1: there too. Maybe you don't kick it quite as far.

51
00:02:40,800 --> 00:02:44,000
Speaker 1: You've got the seven and seven Lions at the five

52
00:02:44,040 --> 00:02:49,760
Speaker 1: and nine Panthers. Interesting. The road thing doesn't worry me

53
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,280
Speaker 1: that much there. It's gonna be nice and yeah, I'm

54
00:02:52,280 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: sure they'll handle it. I praised the Panthers d last week,

55
00:02:56,520 --> 00:03:00,080
Speaker 1: but sure didn't show up in the Steeler game. I

56
00:03:00,120 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: want to know if Henderson is playing or not. It's big. Yeah,

57
00:03:03,280 --> 00:03:07,720
Speaker 1: I think I'm playing the Lions, though Donald's due for

58
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: to turn into a pumpkin at some point. I'm sure

59
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: they'll get back to run the ball like crazy, but

60
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:16,640
Speaker 1: their backs aren't good. Yeah, I think the Lions these usable.

61
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: Which dy would you prefer? I mean, in a vacuum,

62
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:22,040
Speaker 1: I would much rather have the Panthers day. I'd probably

63
00:03:22,080 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: take the home team in that situation, just because it's

64
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:28,239
Speaker 1: a home game on Christmas Eve. Um, I don't you know.

65
00:03:28,240 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: I don't know if the Lions are necessarily how they

66
00:03:31,040 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: handle that kind of short week game. I would imagine

67
00:03:34,520 --> 00:03:36,400
Speaker 1: they travel particularly well. I mean it's a young team,

68
00:03:36,440 --> 00:03:40,520
Speaker 1: they haven't done it a lot. But Detroit's offensive line

69
00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 1: is good. You can can probably run the ball on Carolina.

70
00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:48,240
Speaker 1: I don't love either matchup. I don't think I want

71
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:51,160
Speaker 1: to play either one. Yeah, at one o'clock, you have

72
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:56,160
Speaker 1: the Bills at the three and eleven Bears, easy one.

73
00:03:56,360 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: You don't touch the Bears fire the Bills, do? I

74
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: mean Fields probably has a long run. Yeah? Is that

75
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:07,400
Speaker 1: enough to make the Bills not usable? Not only? I

76
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 1: mean if I'm the Bears, I'm looking at what Miami

77
00:04:09,920 --> 00:04:12,600
Speaker 1: just did against the Bills. Say they just ran the

78
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:15,640
Speaker 1: ball right down Buffalo throat. We can do that. I

79
00:04:15,640 --> 00:04:18,479
Speaker 1: would think the Bills prepare differently though, a little bit. Yeah,

80
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,040
Speaker 1: you're going to stack the line of scrimmage Miami. You

81
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,960
Speaker 1: can't do that. You afraid of hill And yeah you

82
00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: have the five and nine Saints at the six and

83
00:04:28,800 --> 00:04:32,520
Speaker 1: eight Browns. This plenty of good, good seats available for

84
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 1: this one. I just left on the lines. You could

85
00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 1: get tickets to the brown Saints game in Cleveland, Brownie

86
00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:43,479
Speaker 1: fans aren't interested in for eight bucks. You could sit

87
00:04:43,640 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: behind the Browns bench field level. Do you think we'll

88
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,440
Speaker 1: see a lot of that for bucks just across the

89
00:04:49,680 --> 00:04:52,720
Speaker 1: seems like that's the case Christmas Eve? Right? Would you

90
00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:56,279
Speaker 1: rather be warm? You know, you'le tide with the eggnog

91
00:04:56,560 --> 00:05:00,000
Speaker 1: or sitting there freezing watching the Shawn Watson here? In fact?

92
00:05:00,040 --> 00:05:03,359
Speaker 1: Do this? The second most available ticket or cheapest ticket,

93
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:05,919
Speaker 1: I think, is for the Titans and then the Ravens.

94
00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,200
Speaker 1: They're all under twenty bucks. You can get tickets for

95
00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: under twenty bucks for those games. Yeah, because they don't

96
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:14,039
Speaker 1: want to get yelled at like you are getting yelled

97
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:17,600
Speaker 1: at by your family. Right, It's different than going to

98
00:05:17,640 --> 00:05:21,000
Speaker 1: a Lions game on Thanksgiving. That's a plan. That's a's

99
00:05:21,040 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: that's a family event. Every year. It's like, and you know,

100
00:05:25,120 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: are we gonna travel for Carolina? You're playing yuck opponents.

101
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:32,320
Speaker 1: I mean they're playing the Falcons, the Saints in the Texans.

102
00:05:32,760 --> 00:05:36,840
Speaker 1: You're not drawing a lot of fans. Yeah, what was

103
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:40,560
Speaker 1: that Saints game against St. Saints Brown's is it? Both

104
00:05:40,600 --> 00:05:45,640
Speaker 1: are neither neither Okay, I can't imagine being a high

105
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:47,920
Speaker 1: scoring game though. I can't imagine it being a high

106
00:05:47,920 --> 00:05:49,599
Speaker 1: scoring game either. But I don't want to touch it

107
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,800
Speaker 1: unless I have to. I mean, they're not bad. There

108
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:58,600
Speaker 1: might be ten through if we were drank them. Yeah, yeah,

109
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:00,800
Speaker 1: if they were cheap enough in DFS, it could be convinced.

110
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: You have the another one o'clock game, the seven and

111
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:08,920
Speaker 1: seven Seahawks at the eleven and three Chiefs, m that

112
00:06:09,080 --> 00:06:11,160
Speaker 1: lock of things big. I didn't realize how hurt he was.

113
00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:17,560
Speaker 1: I think Seattle's plummeting to coming back to earth, the

114
00:06:17,600 --> 00:06:20,360
Speaker 1: Geno Smith trained slowing down. I know I can't use

115
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,000
Speaker 1: Seattle and then listen here to say Seattle, But can

116
00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,240
Speaker 1: you use the Chiefs. I can see Sacks, I can

117
00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:33,320
Speaker 1: see Sax. Yeah, Geno's throwing some interceptions the last few weeks.

118
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,480
Speaker 1: Takeaway DK Metcalf and they're probably started. Yeah, you've got

119
00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:42,159
Speaker 1: the eight, five and one Giants at the eleven and

120
00:06:42,200 --> 00:06:45,800
Speaker 1: three Vikings. The two Kings of one score games this year.

121
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:49,280
Speaker 1: So somebody's gonna lose a one score game. Are they

122
00:06:49,279 --> 00:06:51,560
Speaker 1: gonna die? They're gonna this is gonna be a one

123
00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:56,320
Speaker 1: score game. You start defense. Um, generally I would like

124
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,360
Speaker 1: to start the teams against the Giants, but I would

125
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:06,080
Speaker 1: think about the Vikings maybe because I have defense is bad,

126
00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,000
Speaker 1: but I don't think it matters. Yeah. Is Daniel Jones

127
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: gonna put the ball in here forty five times? No,

128
00:07:11,240 --> 00:07:13,680
Speaker 1: I'm not starting the Giants though, Yeah, he can't start

129
00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: the Giants. Yeah, Jefferson is gonna cheer them up. Yeah,

130
00:07:18,840 --> 00:07:22,760
Speaker 1: you've got the tenant four Bengals at the seven and

131
00:07:22,840 --> 00:07:25,920
Speaker 1: seven Patriots. The Patriots have been a pretty solid start

132
00:07:25,960 --> 00:07:28,160
Speaker 1: down the stretch. Do you start them against the Bengals

133
00:07:28,200 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: at home? I'm gonna take the easy route. I am

134
00:07:30,480 --> 00:07:33,360
Speaker 1: going to start the Bengals broken without a doubt. Yeah,

135
00:07:33,400 --> 00:07:36,120
Speaker 1: I mean it goes a broken passing game. That's a disaster.

136
00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 1: But the Patriots score touchdowns. Yeah, Patriots is not bad.

137
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,239
Speaker 1: It's better than all of the ones we've talked about.

138
00:07:41,640 --> 00:07:43,720
Speaker 1: They will probably get sacked. Do you trust them against

139
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:47,440
Speaker 1: the Bengals. It's not a good matchup, but I do

140
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: think they'll hit Burrow. He probably he hasn't turned the

141
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: ball over much from what I remember lately. He threw

142
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,640
Speaker 1: I think his tenth interception last week, but seven of

143
00:07:56,680 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 1: them against the Steelers or something. Yeah, I think you

144
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: start both. Okay, Bengals over Patriots, though you've got the one,

145
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,840
Speaker 1: twelve and one Texans at the seven and seven Titans.

146
00:08:10,920 --> 00:08:13,320
Speaker 1: Usually you would fire up a defense against the Texans.

147
00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: But do you fire up this defense against the Texans enough? Yeah,

148
00:08:19,560 --> 00:08:23,400
Speaker 1: Derrick Henry might have two fifty rushing yards on Christmas streaming,

149
00:08:23,440 --> 00:08:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm not playing the Texans D. No, No, Titans D

150
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:28,360
Speaker 1: I can live with. You know, you look at it

151
00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,000
Speaker 1: and the Titans D. The Titans offense is one that

152
00:08:31,040 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: you look to start teams against. You can't do it.

153
00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:35,120
Speaker 1: You can't do it. That's what I was thinking that

154
00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,480
Speaker 1: we wasted one there because I'd like to start someone

155
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,360
Speaker 1: against the Titans. Yeah, they could be a low scoring game,

156
00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:43,040
Speaker 1: But Titans D I can live with. I mean, that's

157
00:08:43,080 --> 00:08:45,280
Speaker 1: my best streaming option and the top ten ones are

158
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,280
Speaker 1: already picked up, and I'm the only streamer in the league.

159
00:08:47,320 --> 00:08:50,400
Speaker 1: You know. Yeah, you've got the seven. It's a four

160
00:08:50,440 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: o'clock game. Now the seven, six and one Commanders at

161
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,679
Speaker 1: the ten and four forty Niners not the Commanders. D

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:02,559
Speaker 1: Yes on Niners. Yes, and Niners are must start every week. Yeah,

163
00:09:02,559 --> 00:09:05,520
Speaker 1: I don't care who they're playing. Yeah. By the way,

164
00:09:05,640 --> 00:09:07,840
Speaker 1: Nick bos was the defensive player of the year. That's

165
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,240
Speaker 1: basically done deal, and Homes is probably the m v

166
00:09:10,280 --> 00:09:15,199
Speaker 1: P if Heurt doesn't play. Uh, you've got the thirteen

167
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: and one Eagles at the tenant for Cowboys. What do

168
00:09:19,640 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: you think about that? I'm starting the Eagles defense. I mean,

169
00:09:23,480 --> 00:09:26,160
Speaker 1: they're They've been good all year. I have no doubt

170
00:09:26,200 --> 00:09:29,200
Speaker 1: about that. It's it's not a bad offenser playing again,

171
00:09:29,360 --> 00:09:33,520
Speaker 1: it's not. But Dak will throw some interceptions. He's got

172
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:35,560
Speaker 1: the funnel issue when he gets hit. That's that's the

173
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:38,720
Speaker 1: real um. Even if it's a minshew. I think I'm

174
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:44,599
Speaker 1: sitting Dallas probably against that offensive line. Yeah right, I

175
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: mean that pass rush isn't great Dallas. The secondary has

176
00:09:47,559 --> 00:09:51,360
Speaker 1: been exposed lately a little bit. Yeah, that's a once

177
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:53,600
Speaker 1: it was a no brain or starter. I don't think

178
00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,280
Speaker 1: Dallas is anymore. And I'm with you. And then of course,

179
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:59,480
Speaker 1: the eight fifteen game on Saturday, the six and eight

180
00:09:59,600 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: Raiders at the six and eight Steelers. Steelers before Raiders. Yeah, yeah, offensively,

181
00:10:06,240 --> 00:10:09,120
Speaker 1: I think they'll get sacks and they'll get pressures and sacked.

182
00:10:09,160 --> 00:10:12,319
Speaker 1: We do a decent job against a run um. Maybe

183
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:16,800
Speaker 1: a turnover too, neither. I'm screaming to get in my lineup. Yeah,

184
00:10:16,840 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: I'm not starting them over, you know, but it's not

185
00:10:20,520 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 1: not bad Sunday schedule. You've got the six and eight

186
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,560
Speaker 1: Packers at the eight and six Dolphins. No, in the Packers,

187
00:10:28,800 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 1: they looked better last night and they five or six sacks,

188
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: But in Miami, I don't I don't know that I

189
00:10:33,880 --> 00:10:37,160
Speaker 1: can start to Dolphins. Yeah, Rogers doesn't take a lot

190
00:10:37,160 --> 00:10:39,839
Speaker 1: of sacks, didn't throw any interceptions. They're starting to run

191
00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,040
Speaker 1: the ball. Yeah. I think I'm starting the Steelers over

192
00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: both those. Yeah, I think so too. Probably not the

193
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: Raiders over both of us, but this one might be

194
00:10:47,840 --> 00:10:50,880
Speaker 1: the start of the week. You've got the four and

195
00:10:50,920 --> 00:10:55,360
Speaker 1: ten Broncos at the four and ten Rams. It's fantastic.

196
00:10:56,360 --> 00:10:59,120
Speaker 1: Fire up denverbon in case if you weren't about that

197
00:11:00,120 --> 00:11:04,040
Speaker 1: Rams even close to usable. Again, that's a that's the thing,

198
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: you know, these are these are matchups where you would

199
00:11:06,200 --> 00:11:10,040
Speaker 1: have used somebody against the Broncoss. You kind of have

200
00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,280
Speaker 1: to ry your eyes. I'm gonna say, yes, you can

201
00:11:13,360 --> 00:11:17,200
Speaker 1: use the Rams defense. This might be a racist seventeen.

202
00:11:17,840 --> 00:11:19,800
Speaker 1: It's not the worst thing. Yeah, and there's been a

203
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:22,000
Speaker 1: lot of those. Ye that, I can live with it.

204
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: The Titans are like that, stealers are kind of like that. Um,

205
00:11:25,920 --> 00:11:29,200
Speaker 1: I can live with it. But it's not ideal Denver's ideal,

206
00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: Denver's ideal. Yeah, they're definitely the top three. You've got

207
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:35,160
Speaker 1: the six and eight Buccan this is the night game,

208
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: by the way, on Sunday and on Christmas Day, the

209
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:42,040
Speaker 1: Buccaneers at six and eight at the four and ten

210
00:11:42,080 --> 00:11:49,520
Speaker 1: Cardinals Bucks. Yes, Cardinals, never, never never. If the Bucks

211
00:11:49,559 --> 00:11:51,600
Speaker 1: don't score at least twenty five points in this game,

212
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: they are incapable of scoring points. This could absolutely be

213
00:11:55,360 --> 00:12:02,559
Speaker 1: the Monday narrative of where the Bucks. They're back, Bradies back. Yeah,

214
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: they figured things out. On offense, We'll see arizonas You're right,

215
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,480
Speaker 1: is the least usable defense probably in the league. That

216
00:12:11,559 --> 00:12:15,800
Speaker 1: is the worst holiday schedule I think I've ever seen,

217
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:19,120
Speaker 1: which I'm actually happy about because I can. Is the

218
00:12:19,160 --> 00:12:22,719
Speaker 1: sun that Packers when Packers Dolphins is your main the

219
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:26,080
Speaker 1: best thing it is, And it's the one o'clock game

220
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,320
Speaker 1: capping the weekend off. You've got the eight and six

221
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,520
Speaker 1: Chargers at the four, nine and one Colts. I'm gonna

222
00:12:34,559 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 1: say yes on the Chargers, especially without Taylor. You'd be

223
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:42,839
Speaker 1: worried about him getting wrong like crazy. Um No, it's

224
00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:44,200
Speaker 1: not a bad d but they're gonna be on the

225
00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,839
Speaker 1: field all the time. They do stop to pass pretty well,

226
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:49,520
Speaker 1: they do. They do handle passing games pretty well. It's

227
00:12:49,520 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: going to be on the field a lot. And Matt

228
00:12:51,600 --> 00:12:54,000
Speaker 1: Ryan will fumble twice in his own end will you'll

229
00:12:54,040 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 1: get fourteen cheap points against Just throw one up into

230
00:12:58,840 --> 00:13:01,240
Speaker 1: the middle of the field and someone were turning for

231
00:13:01,280 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: a touchdown. He did that again. He did that again

232
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:06,680
Speaker 1: last week. Just tossed one forty yards up up in

233
00:13:06,679 --> 00:13:07,959
Speaker 1: the air in the middle of the field and they

234
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 1: just missed an interception. Like, what the hell was that inbounds? Right?

235
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 1: Just lob it up to the middle of the field

236
00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:20,079
Speaker 1: and hope nobody I don't either. It's a rough schedule.

237
00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: I mean, Denver's d is probably already in your league,

238
00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:24,439
Speaker 1: say with the Niners, and you know some of the

239
00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:30,800
Speaker 1: ones that are no brainers. Uh. Some interesting pickups this week, Yeah,

240
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:34,720
Speaker 1: this is interesting. Um, James Cook still own a forty

241
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 1: seven point four percent of leagues though, yeah he is.

242
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:42,240
Speaker 1: Uh Tyler algae Are is only owned in thirty three

243
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:46,439
Speaker 1: and a half fantasy. I think he is an a that. Yeah,

244
00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: you take Huntley out of the equation, he's gonna get fifteen.

245
00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: It's when he carries. I don't know this, but I

246
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,120
Speaker 1: think rit Or will have fewer design runs of Mariota

247
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,000
Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I mean it's more of a two

248
00:13:56,280 --> 00:14:00,560
Speaker 1: piece of the pie. Chuba Hubbard is owning nine percent

249
00:14:00,600 --> 00:14:04,040
Speaker 1: of league expose a little bit. Yeah, I think Hubbard's

250
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 1: a guy to own there. Uh Khalil Herbert his back

251
00:14:07,480 --> 00:14:10,760
Speaker 1: seven point six percent ownership. It's a little tough. I

252
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,160
Speaker 1: mean he's a good player. Royce Freeman with the Texans

253
00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: zero percent ownership, Yeah, I can't go there to me.

254
00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,760
Speaker 1: The big waiver pick up this week is Zack Moss,

255
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:27,720
Speaker 1: who's owned in point seven percent of leagues. Pick him up,

256
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,720
Speaker 1: throw him in the lineup. You might even be Dion

257
00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:34,720
Speaker 1: Jackson might be starting. They're playing the Chargers, right there,

258
00:14:34,560 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 1: were going to have success running the football, and they'll

259
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,960
Speaker 1: run the ball. Um. You know, whatever you've left in

260
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,760
Speaker 1: your fob, spend for Moss. Yeah. Not that he's gonna

261
00:14:45,760 --> 00:14:47,240
Speaker 1: be a league winner, but he'll get you out of

262
00:14:47,240 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: a bind. I don't even want to talk quarterbacks because

263
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,400
Speaker 1: at this point there's nothing out there that means you

264
00:14:54,520 --> 00:14:58,720
Speaker 1: exciting to not super I don't think so either. He

265
00:14:58,760 --> 00:15:04,640
Speaker 1: doesn't run that much. Yeah, and yeah, wide receivers Donald Donovan,

266
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: People's Jones is still in fifty eight percent of leagues. Yeah,

267
00:15:09,240 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: the Marcus Robinson is eight point one percent. I don't

268
00:15:11,480 --> 00:15:14,720
Speaker 1: want anything to do with that. That passing game. Slayton

269
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:18,000
Speaker 1: Darius Slayton is still forty two point two percent. He

270
00:15:18,080 --> 00:15:22,760
Speaker 1: did very little this week, right, Yeah, not much. Richie

271
00:15:23,080 --> 00:15:25,760
Speaker 1: James one two percent ownership. They just don't throw the

272
00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:30,040
Speaker 1: ball in us. Chris Moore still seventeen point four percent.

273
00:15:30,440 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: Wasn't quite the it was four forty two. Okay. Yeah,

274
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:41,320
Speaker 1: here's the interesting one though, Markiss good one one percent ownership.

275
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,760
Speaker 1: That's kind of a true game with lock it out

276
00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,920
Speaker 1: or anything. But you could do worse. Yeah, I mean

277
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: they throw the football because they don't run it super well. Um,

278
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 1: he's had some big games. He's got speed, Yeah right,

279
00:15:56,400 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: I mean he has a chance to hit a seventy

280
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:00,640
Speaker 1: yard for you. Absolutely, that's a yeah. The track star

281
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:04,520
Speaker 1: hunter renfro is still owned in thirty point four percent

282
00:16:04,560 --> 00:16:07,040
Speaker 1: of leagues. I don't know what perfect still that much,

283
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,880
Speaker 1: but he was bad to begin with. I would be

284
00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:13,560
Speaker 1: intrigued to pick him up, though I could see the

285
00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: last three games being good. He uh played forty two

286
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: point six percent of the snaps and got three targets

287
00:16:19,400 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: last week. Let's not forget. Even before he got hurt,

288
00:16:22,920 --> 00:16:25,360
Speaker 1: it was good. They weren't throwing him the football. No, No,

289
00:16:25,520 --> 00:16:28,040
Speaker 1: I thought that it would be the new England slot machine.

290
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,240
Speaker 1: It's not happens. It's worked. Um, I'm open to the

291
00:16:32,280 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 1: idea of sticking him on my roster and see if

292
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:39,600
Speaker 1: he gets eight targets for Steelers for Steelers possible. DJ

293
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 1: Chark owned in thirty point six percent of league offense.

294
00:16:43,560 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams isn't hurting him a tight end. Getting Chiggy

295
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: with itano fourteen point eight percent ownership. He's he's at

296
00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:57,720
Speaker 1: the f s start now. Yeah, because he'll he'll still

297
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: be cheap. I'm sure you'll get to it. But I

298
00:16:59,240 --> 00:17:02,880
Speaker 1: wonder if Uttered or Waller out there anymore. That's a

299
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: great question. I would assume most people held on. They

300
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,240
Speaker 1: only put like guys who are owning like six of

301
00:17:08,240 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: the last year, god are probably still qualified as that. Yeah,

302
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: and Waller came back last week. But those guys are

303
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,119
Speaker 1: useful again. Yeah. Juwan Johnson fifteen point six percent ownerships

304
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:23,520
Speaker 1: gruffed him off, but he's better than that. Yeah, he's

305
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:30,800
Speaker 1: usual end without a uh. Jordan Aikins point six percent ownership.

306
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:34,120
Speaker 1: He's got five plus targets and four of the last

307
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: three of the the last four games somebody. Yeah, and he's

308
00:17:37,720 --> 00:17:41,280
Speaker 1: got talent. Yeah, that's not bad. Kate Oughton six point

309
00:17:41,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: four percent ownership. Remember they play the Cardinals tight end heaven. Yeah,

310
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:51,480
Speaker 1: that's not bad for let's remember that one for that's one. Yeah,

311
00:17:51,720 --> 00:17:54,520
Speaker 1: they've by far given up the most Fantasy points to

312
00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:56,719
Speaker 1: tight ends this year. It's not I mean that two

313
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:58,679
Speaker 1: games ago Brady through to him a hundred times a

314
00:17:58,680 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: second half. This could be another game like that. That

315
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 1: might be our DFS with tight end this week. Yeah,

316
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:11,399
Speaker 1: I mean, I though, get chick with it. Smith, you know, absolutely. Yeah, Um,

317
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,040
Speaker 1: I'm not interested in any of the Patriots. Again, we

318
00:18:14,119 --> 00:18:16,400
Speaker 1: talked about this the other day. There's just certain offenses.

319
00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 1: I don't want anything to do with Patriots. Passing game

320
00:18:19,119 --> 00:18:23,000
Speaker 1: is chunk. Yeah, Arizona's like, I don't want Trey McBride

321
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:24,960
Speaker 1: or would you rather start chick this week? Or would

322
00:18:24,960 --> 00:18:31,360
Speaker 1: you rather start Mark Andrews. Wow, that's that's what we've

323
00:18:31,359 --> 00:18:35,159
Speaker 1: gotten to here with Mark Andrews. Oh my god, is

324
00:18:35,160 --> 00:18:38,840
Speaker 1: it bad? Huntley even used to target him like crazy,

325
00:18:38,880 --> 00:18:42,080
Speaker 1: like when we previewed, and then it doesn't matter. There's

326
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:44,080
Speaker 1: just a couple of dudes that just get too much attention,

327
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,600
Speaker 1: you know. And I don't know he's healthy, but taking

328
00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:50,080
Speaker 1: away a tight end and that's all you got unless

329
00:18:50,080 --> 00:18:55,000
Speaker 1: he's Kelsey or grows. Even if it was just Kelsey,

330
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:56,960
Speaker 1: you can still tell, you know, you can limit him

331
00:18:57,520 --> 00:18:59,680
Speaker 1: like he hasn't had the year this year that he's

332
00:18:59,720 --> 00:19:03,159
Speaker 1: had previous years. With Tyreek out there, He's had a

333
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,680
Speaker 1: good year for a tight end. Kelsey's tremendous and he's

334
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,720
Speaker 1: an all time great, but he was more dependent on

335
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:12,000
Speaker 1: Tyreek than Tyreek was on Helthy, especially for Fanny Fantasy. Absolutely,

336
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,359
Speaker 1: Tyreek and any offense will do something. He keeps a

337
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:18,080
Speaker 1: lot of guys occupied, and if he doesn't, he's going

338
00:19:18,119 --> 00:19:20,800
Speaker 1: to occupy you when he's running to the end zone. Yeah,

339
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:22,800
Speaker 1: but if you're playing the Ravens passing game, it's third

340
00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: and six, three guys on Andrews and who cares about

341
00:19:26,080 --> 00:19:30,480
Speaker 1: anybody else? With the Marcus and yeah, Seawan and whoever else. Great,

342
00:19:30,640 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: but it's not gonna happen that because yeah, I just don't.

343
00:19:34,119 --> 00:19:38,040
Speaker 1: It's Andrew's brutal tight end has been awful this year,

344
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,560
Speaker 1: the worst year that I can remember for the tight

345
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:42,600
Speaker 1: end positions. All the injuries too. I mean even like

346
00:19:42,880 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: Pitts was a bust, Urts got hurt. You know, some

347
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:47,280
Speaker 1: of the guys that people miss got heard for half

348
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: the year. It's just had three games a year. He's

349
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:54,680
Speaker 1: really good. Yeah, yuck, yuck, yuck, yuck. It's been a

350
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,800
Speaker 1: long time since Andrews has been worth the buck? Yeah,
