- 0:14SPEAKER_00: What's going on biggers?
- 0:16SPEAKER_00: Welcome back.
- 0:17SPEAKER_00: I hope you had a great Thanksgiving.
- 0:19SPEAKER_00: I hope your pants don't fit.
- 0:22SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to another week of fancy football fumble.
- 0:27SPEAKER_00: It's your boy MJG here, and I'm live with Joe.
- 0:30SPEAKER_00: Joe Burrman.
- 0:31SPEAKER_00: How you doing today, my brother?
- 0:34SPEAKER_03: Doing very well, Manny.
- 0:35SPEAKER_03: I had a great Thanksgiving.
- 0:37SPEAKER_03: I'm back up above 200 pounds.
- 0:40SPEAKER_03: Feels great.
- 0:41SPEAKER_03: And um I'm really looking forward to this week of football.
- 0:45SPEAKER_03: I'm you know hanging on in a couple leagues at the top of a couple leagues and at the very bottom of a couple others, others, just like last time we spoke.
- 0:54SPEAKER_03: So staying in the mix where it belongs.
- 0:58SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, I definitely hear that.
- 1:00SPEAKER_00: I'm uh I'm I think I'm officially I have a 1% chance in my uh my main league.
- 1:07SPEAKER_00: I think I uh unless the three guys that are fighting for seventh spot in front of me end up losing two in a row, I'm pretty much out of those.
- 1:17SPEAKER_00: And that's that's a that's asking for a lot.
- 1:20SPEAKER_03: So I'm in I'm in dead last in one of your leagues.
- 1:24SPEAKER_03: Like two games back from the very bottom.
- 1:28SPEAKER_00: Yeah, it happens, man.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: It happens.
- 1:29SPEAKER_00: It's brutal, man.
- 1:30SPEAKER_00: I mean, I seen crazier stuff happen, but I mean these guys, uh, I mean, they've got on some runs, so I don't think the guys in front of me are gonna lose two in a row, three guys who lose two games in a row.
- 1:41SPEAKER_00: I mean, some of them have some easy games, so I doubt that's gonna happen.
- 1:44SPEAKER_00: Hey, but you know, I've seen crazier things happen.
- 1:46SPEAKER_00: Um, the other two leagues I am 10 and 2 in, those are of course my Christian McCaffrey leagues.
- 1:52SPEAKER_00: And if those of you tuned in earlier this season and actually paid attention to our rankings instead of these other guys, you would see that uh we had slightly different rankings.
- 2:01SPEAKER_00: Everybody else was Justin Jefferson and get Jamar Chase, right?
- 2:06SPEAKER_00: Like everybody remembers that in the beginning of the season, and we're not trying to shoot our own horns, but you know, uh, I remember my top three.
- 2:14SPEAKER_00: I remember I had CMC, I had Tyreek Hill, and I had Justin Jefferson, and those were my top three, and I know you were somewhere around there as well, Joe.
- 2:24SPEAKER_00: I think you uh Justin Jefferson, you were Justin Jefferson, CMC, and then who was your other guy?
- 2:31SPEAKER_00: Jamar Chase?
- 2:32SPEAKER_03: No, no, I had Tyreek as third as well.
- 2:35SPEAKER_03: Those are those are the same three, but I had I should have had McCaffrey first, and I kept going back and forth with Justin Jefferson and McCaffrey, you know, just you know, one of them on my shoulder and the other on the other shoulder, just going back and forth.
- 2:50SPEAKER_03: But you know, I always talk about the running back position and how you know there's just more value season long in a solid running back core.
- 2:59SPEAKER_03: That's why I always try to load up.
- 3:01SPEAKER_03: And um, you know, we've seen some wide receivers come out of nowhere.
- 3:06SPEAKER_03: It happens every season.
- 3:07SPEAKER_03: This season's no different.
- 3:09SPEAKER_03: We've seen like 10 or 12 guys that just climbed from the bottom.
- 3:12SPEAKER_03: They you didn't even know their name, and look at them now.
- 3:16SPEAKER_03: So uh, you know, there's obviously running backs that do that too, but um, you were high on McCaffrey, he is the best fantasy football player, um, has been for years.
- 3:28SPEAKER_03: If he's healthy, you know, there's no one else that you and he's exciting to have on your team.
- 3:33SPEAKER_03: You know, it's there's no one else that you look forward to uh more than McCaffrey being on your team.
- 3:40SPEAKER_00: Yeah, definitely.
- 3:41SPEAKER_00: And I mean, you're right, those players, if they're healthy, CMC, Tyreek Hill, I was very like it was such a hard choice.
- 3:49SPEAKER_00: I mean, just like you, I think if I sat at number one overall, I think that's the hardest pick to have because you had that double on your shoulder, right?
- 3:57SPEAKER_00: Is it Justin Jefferson or McCaffrey?
- 4:00SPEAKER_00: If you were most I mean, I've seen a lot of people.
- 4:02SPEAKER_00: McCaffrey felt to me at picks number five and six, so people really did not respect him coming into the league, and so did uh Tyreek Hill.
- 4:09SPEAKER_00: He was average ADP of six pick overall.
- 4:12SPEAKER_00: That's because all these experts had him picked uh later.
- 4:15SPEAKER_00: Um, I know my uh brother-in-law, Ryan, he's a Miami fan, but he's also a big Metrix guy, and he's always been somebody that's been huge on Tyreek Hill over the years.
- 4:25SPEAKER_00: Um and and rightfully so, the guy just really performs, but it's just like the the way that people see fantasy is so um, you know, everyone sees it, tries to copy each other's styles.
- 4:39SPEAKER_00: I think when it comes to you have to see it differently.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: You're right.
- 4:41SPEAKER_00: Running back position is hard to predict sometimes, but you know, uh it is very valuable.
- 4:48SPEAKER_00: And if you invest in a good one, you go far.
- 4:50SPEAKER_00: Like you you invested in, I mean, you didn't even invest heavily in Kyron Williams.
- 4:55SPEAKER_00: Uh and yeah, I got lucky.
- 4:57SPEAKER_00: You know, he worked out great for you.
- 4:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I mean, one got multiple stocks and he he proved dividends for you, you know.
- 5:04SPEAKER_00: You got him late, and he's been a fantasy winner.
- 5:07SPEAKER_03: With that league I'm at the top, it's it's uh largely in part due to having four rock solid running backs on my team, and I have legit receivers too, but I stumbled onto those legit receivers.
- 5:19SPEAKER_03: You know, I grabbed a couple guys that you weren't expecting to be as as good as they are.
- 5:25SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, I got Kirk in that league, I got him late.
- 5:28SPEAKER_03: Um, I got Mike Evans in that league, I got him late too.
- 5:32SPEAKER_03: So those are my two starting wide receivers, and you know, Kirk's not the guy that's putting up 20 plus, but he's getting you 15 every week, pretty much.
- 5:40SPEAKER_03: So I'm totally cool with having those as my starting two um wide receivers and then having four rock solid running backs to mix up with the flex position.
- 5:50SPEAKER_03: But um, yeah, yeah, man.
- 5:52SPEAKER_03: We got we got a lot of buys this week and a lot of injuries, so let's get into it.
- 5:58SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, absolutely.
- 6:00SPEAKER_00: Buys this week.
- 6:01SPEAKER_00: Uh some major ones, Bills uh and Bears.
- 6:06SPEAKER_00: Obviously, those are some guys there.
- 6:08SPEAKER_00: We're gonna be missing DJ Moore, Justin Fields for the for the Bears.
- 6:12SPEAKER_00: Bills, obviously, Josh Allen's been winning some matches by himself for you know, 30 to 40 points, excuse me, 30 to 40 points a game.
- 6:19SPEAKER_00: That guy's been balling.
- 6:21SPEAKER_00: Um what are some major teams you're gonna be missing by weeks?
- 6:26SPEAKER_00: Um well let me bring up who we Vikings, Vikings, Ravens.
- 6:33SPEAKER_00: Do you have any share of the Ravens?
- 6:35SPEAKER_03: I do have Lamar in one league, and um obviously he will be missed, but I have Goff as my backup, so that's not a bad place to be.
- 6:44SPEAKER_00: Um definitely and then uh we also have Giants Raiders.
- 6:51SPEAKER_00: I know you were talking about Jacoby Myers.
- 6:53SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I have Jacoby in one league, but I don't think I was gonna play him.
- 6:57SPEAKER_03: I of course I benched him last week and he had a great game.
- 7:02SPEAKER_03: But uh finally, yeah, but you know, there's gonna be some there's gonna be some people missing Josh Jacobs and Devonta Adams uh this week as well.
- 7:12SPEAKER_03: Um and then as far as injuries, is that is that everyone we got on the bye?
- 7:19SPEAKER_03: Who else do we have on the bye?
- 7:21SPEAKER_00: That's it, man.
- 7:22SPEAKER_00: I mean, we mentioned everybody Vikings, no one to miss there except Justin Jefferson.
- 7:28SPEAKER_00: I mean, he comes back next week, right?
- 7:32SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, Justin Jefferson's gonna be back next week.
- 7:35SPEAKER_03: Um, so that's cool, I guess.
- 7:37SPEAKER_03: Um, I don't know who they're playing at quarterback, but um it's probably gonna be Dobbs.
- 7:43SPEAKER_03: They're talking about playing somebody else, but it's it's most likely gonna be Dobbs.
- 7:48SPEAKER_00: It's the best option.
- 7:50SPEAKER_03: Absolutely, it's the best option.
- 7:52SPEAKER_03: I don't know why they change it up.
- 7:54SPEAKER_00: Uh but injuries um for the Colts, Jonathan Taylor out for possible multiple weeks.
- 8:00SPEAKER_00: So Zach Moss stock back up.
- 8:02SPEAKER_00: Everybody's you know, he's he's probably a free agent that people are picking up, right?
- 8:07SPEAKER_03: If you're lucky, you could pick him up, or you or you did already, but I'm sure a lot of people held on to him just for this reason because he was I did too, yeah.
- 8:17SPEAKER_03: I did too.
- 8:18SPEAKER_03: I mean, I had I had John, I actually traded to get Jonathan Taylor and then he went down, but luckily I have Moss too.
- 8:26SPEAKER_03: So totally comfortable plugging in Moss.
- 8:29SPEAKER_03: I might I'm actually a little more excited about playing Moss.
- 8:33SPEAKER_03: And yeah, one thing that he did in week five, I mean, yeah, seriously, Jonathan Taylor was just like, you know, not very efficient and not fun to watch.
- 8:46SPEAKER_00: Um until last game, he looked good last game.
- 8:49SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I mean, fantasy-wise, he's gonna get you the numbers, but um so I wrote something down that is very interesting about Zach Moss.
- 9:00SPEAKER_03: Tennessee in week five, he racked up 195 total yards and two touchdowns.
- 9:07SPEAKER_03: That's who he's playing this week.
- 9:08SPEAKER_03: I know it's not gonna be the same game, but if it's similar, that's a lot of points.
- 9:12SPEAKER_00: So he also had a receiving touchdown that game.
- 9:15SPEAKER_00: He had 35 points that game.
- 9:17SPEAKER_00: Zach Moss.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: I didn't know.
- 9:19SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he went off that game.
- 9:20SPEAKER_00: That was his best game of the season against Tennessee.
- 9:23SPEAKER_00: So, and now he's first game starting.
- 9:25SPEAKER_00: Zach Moss is a free agent after this year's after this year, ladies and gentlemen.
- 9:30SPEAKER_00: And he just got put on the back burner the last two games, like he was uh a toy on a shelf.
- 9:36SPEAKER_00: Like tennis right now, Indianapolis did Zach Moss so dirty, they did not trade him at the deadline, and they paid uh Zach.
- 9:45SPEAKER_00: And this is the the GM for that team, Vic Ballard, was playing hardball with Jonathan Taylor.
- 9:51SPEAKER_00: That's why that whole drama started.
- 9:53SPEAKER_00: Yeah, and guess what?
- 9:54SPEAKER_00: Now he said, All right, JT, I was fucking around the whole time.
- 9:58SPEAKER_00: Here's your contract.
- 9:59SPEAKER_00: Okay, Zach Moss.
- 10:00SPEAKER_00: Now we're gonna devalue you and we're gonna give you a two-year, three million dollar contract to be our backup.
- 10:06SPEAKER_00: And Zach Moss is gonna be like, Screw you guys, I'm going home.
- 10:10SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 10:11SPEAKER_01: He'll get paid, guys.
- 10:13SPEAKER_03: He'll go somewhere and get paid.
- 10:15SPEAKER_03: You know where he's going, and he's gonna be on the spot.
- 10:18SPEAKER_03: He's gonna be our backup.
- 10:20SPEAKER_03: That'd be awesome.
- 10:21SPEAKER_03: Man, he'll be he'll be in the spotlight though the next couple weeks.
- 10:24SPEAKER_03: You know, he's gonna be uh all eyes on me, so that'll be fun.
- 10:29SPEAKER_01: This is his audition.
- 10:31SPEAKER_00: You think right now he's gonna look at it like this next two or three weeks, or like possibly my last chances to shine in the year, and maybe I'll get a couple playoff shine if JT gets injured, you know, and he's gonna look at it like whatever team sees me play, I'm gonna get paid after this.
- 10:48SPEAKER_00: So it's my last this is gonna be my chance to get a big paycheck, and I gotta be the starter, I gotta be the guy.
- 10:54SPEAKER_00: So I'm I'm expecting like I have Zach Moss right now, and I'm dangling him in front of people, see what they're willing to pay for him.
- 11:01SPEAKER_00: Um, but I am salivating at the opportunity of starting him right now.
- 11:06SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I would hold on to you doing Daily Fantasy, like bro, that's your it's 4600 on DraftKings.
- 11:13SPEAKER_01: Every one of your I don't care what lineup you're running, run Zach Moss and every single lineup.
- 11:18SPEAKER_01: I don't care.
- 11:19SPEAKER_00: Absolutely, every variation has to have Zach Moss in it for 4600.
- 11:24SPEAKER_00: And and freaking Tyreek Hill.
- 11:27SPEAKER_00: Right now, he's playing against uh what what team is Miami playing against?
- 11:31SPEAKER_00: Hold on one second, they're playing against a terrible team.
- 11:34SPEAKER_00: The commanders.
- 11:36SPEAKER_03: Oh man, that's gonna be a lot of throwing, a lot of throwing, a lot of offense.
- 11:43SPEAKER_00: I even like a couple players on commanders, like I would even play uh Sam Dotson.
- 11:48SPEAKER_00: Yeah, Sam How could be your quarterback, you know.
- 11:51SPEAKER_00: But honestly, I really like Purdy, man.
- 11:54SPEAKER_03: This matchup against thehead of ourselves.
- 11:57SPEAKER_03: We're gonna talk about this later.
- 11:58SPEAKER_00: All right, anyways, I'm getting way too ahead of myself.
- 12:01SPEAKER_03: One more thing, one more thing that's notable though.
- 12:03SPEAKER_03: One more thing I just wanted to mention with injuries.
- 12:05SPEAKER_03: You've got Michael Thomas on IR, Rashid Shaheed that's doubtful, Chris Olave.
- 12:11SPEAKER_03: If Chris Olave plays, that's gonna be a big game for Olave.
- 12:16SPEAKER_03: But if Olave doesn't, then you're just gonna be in a bad spot.
- 12:21SPEAKER_03: You're gonna have Kamara and maybe Taysom Hill.
- 12:24SPEAKER_03: But there he is, but but you might get a big game out of Juwan Johnson, too.
- 12:29SPEAKER_03: Like you just don't know what's gonna happen.
- 12:32SPEAKER_03: But Michael Thomas and Rush Heat are out, so Olave will have a big game if he plays.
- 12:38SPEAKER_03: We'll have to see.
- 12:39SPEAKER_03: But otherwise, yeah, you could plug in Taysom Hill and you're gonna probably get a 10 a 10-point day at a minimum, maybe 20.
- 12:50SPEAKER_00: If you plug in who?
- 12:53SPEAKER_03: I'm saying if if Olave doesn't play, you can you can kind of lean on Taysom Hill and expect him to have a double-digit day.
- 13:04SPEAKER_00: I have a side bet going with the viewers that I'm gonna drink every time you mention Taysom Hill on the podcast.
- 13:12SPEAKER_03: You're gonna be hammered by the end.
- 13:14SPEAKER_03: You're gonna be hammered in 10 minutes.
- 13:19SPEAKER_01: Taysom Hill, that's four times on the podcast.
- 13:24SPEAKER_01: I'll get to him again.
- 13:26SPEAKER_01: I'm sure at some at some point I'll get to him again.
- 13:29SPEAKER_01: I'm joking.
- 13:30SPEAKER_01: I love it, man.
- 13:31SPEAKER_01: I love it, man.
- 13:32SPEAKER_00: Taysom Hill, you've been you've been, you know, he's not he's not consistent, but you're right.
- 13:36SPEAKER_00: Those big games when they're down one or two options on offense, Derek Carr and that that offensive coordinator, they're gonna get him the ball.
- 13:45SPEAKER_00: Because what other option do they freaking have?
- 13:48SPEAKER_00: It's like, and he he could play multiple positions, man.
- 13:52SPEAKER_00: The guy's talented, so he's a legal.
- 13:54SPEAKER_00: He just needs the scheme to go his way and the matchup to go his way, and that could definitely be a matchup that could be.
- 14:00SPEAKER_03: Oh, yeah, when he gets the opportunities, he makes the most of them.
- 14:05SPEAKER_03: Um anyways.
- 14:06SPEAKER_03: Anyways, let's uh let's get to our hot matchups of the week.
- 14:14SPEAKER_03: All right, everybody.
- 14:16SPEAKER_03: It's time for our hot matchups of the week, and we have some good ones for you.
- 14:21SPEAKER_03: Manny, why don't you start us off and let us know who your first hot matchup is?
- 14:27SPEAKER_00: Well, most of you're gonna be surprised with this call, but it's gonna be the 49ers versus the Eagles.
- 14:34SPEAKER_00: I know the spread only has it at like 47 and a half, but I mean, obviously, it's a bad blood game.
- 14:40SPEAKER_00: There's been a lot of shit talked uh since the NFC Championship.
- 14:44SPEAKER_00: The 49ers got demolished and they were disrespecting.
- 14:48SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm sure they bought into all the hype since then.
- 14:51SPEAKER_00: The Eagles feel disrespected, they're 10-1.
- 14:54SPEAKER_00: Any Eagles game this season, I've always picked to be high scoring, and they haven't disappointed.
- 14:58SPEAKER_00: They've been some of the best games this season.
- 15:00SPEAKER_00: Like they just get their ass kicked for the first half and just come back.
- 15:04SPEAKER_00: Um, and uh as an Eagles fan, I will say that that's how they play.
- 15:09SPEAKER_00: And they won't play any defense first half of the game, and all of a sudden they play lockdown the second half.
- 15:13SPEAKER_00: So that's just kind of how they've been playing.
- 15:15SPEAKER_00: Um, and then the Niners have been playing good good football, you know.
- 15:19SPEAKER_00: They had that rough stretch for three games, uh, where they got their teeth kicked in by the Browns and a couple other teams, and uh they've adjusted the last couple, and obviously CMC has been playing great.
- 15:30SPEAKER_00: I still think CMC is gonna get a touchdown, maybe two, but he's gonna have to fight for it with the Eagles because uh, I mean, that's number one rush defense in the league.
- 15:39SPEAKER_00: I know the last two games they've been playing, uh they've been getting gashed on the ground, but um, I think they focus on McCaffrey for the game plan, and they've also been changing their defense up since they've acquired uh Kevin Byard two weeks ago, anyways.
- 15:54SPEAKER_00: So teams changing the way they play.
- 15:56SPEAKER_00: They play Kevin Byard up in the slot, anyways, the way they used to play Malcolm Jenkins.
- 16:01SPEAKER_00: So you're gonna see probably a lot of uh D B spy on McCaffrey when he moves around.
- 16:07SPEAKER_00: Um, but anyways, I still think that's just gonna be uh a fun game.
- 16:11SPEAKER_00: Debo Samuel's gonna get open, George Kittle's gonna get open, I you maybe.
- 16:16SPEAKER_00: So it's it's gonna go back and forth, man.
- 16:18SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a fun game.
- 16:19SPEAKER_03: Yeah, and I think you know, at the beginning of the season, both defenses looked kind of suspect.
- 16:25SPEAKER_03: The Eagles was better than the the Niners at the beginning of the season.
- 16:29SPEAKER_03: Now I feel like the Niners has looked a little bit better than the Eagles.
- 16:32SPEAKER_03: So I expect uh the offense from both to be really good, to be a little better than the defense, but I don't really know what to expect.
- 16:40SPEAKER_03: I'm not I'm not sure what to call it as far as who's actually going to win that game.
- 16:45SPEAKER_00: Yeah, we'll see who scores more because uh Niners just lost Hofonga for the season.
- 16:50SPEAKER_00: He tore his Achilles, their starting safety, so they just got uh TJ Ward back there now.
- 16:55SPEAKER_00: So and their so their safe their uh secondary has already been suspect with cornerbacks, so yeah, their secondary has looked bad all year, but they've just reached that's why their pass rush is so good.
- 17:06SPEAKER_00: But I mean Eagles pass rush hasn't been as good.
- 17:09SPEAKER_00: Their front definitely I will agree 49ers' pass front seven is superior than the Eagles, but um the Eagles have some really good pass rush too.
- 17:18SPEAKER_00: So um I just think the Eagles have a superior quarterback, so and a superior, you know, superior O-line.
- 17:24SPEAKER_00: So that's where we're gonna excel up front.
- 17:26SPEAKER_00: Um, and we're gonna see what happens ever at you know with the offense.
- 17:30SPEAKER_00: Because when it comes down to it, Brock Purdy runs a great game, they have the superior running back, so we're gonna see who uses their weapons better, right?
- 17:38SPEAKER_00: That's who wins that ball game.
- 17:40SPEAKER_03: But you both you both do have plenty of weapons, so that'll be awesome.
- 17:43SPEAKER_03: It probably won't be as fun as the Eagles game last week, but that's probably gonna be the best game of the year.
- 17:51SPEAKER_03: So um, but but uh I can't wait for that.
- 17:56SPEAKER_03: 100% agree with you.
- 17:58SPEAKER_03: I think there's just too many weapons on the Eagles and the Niners for that to be a low-scoring game.
- 18:03SPEAKER_00: So way too many.
- 18:05SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be fun.
- 18:06SPEAKER_03: And uh my first hot matchup of the week is the Dolphins and the Commanders.
- 18:14SPEAKER_03: As we said earlier, there's going to be a lot of throwing in this game, and both defenses are you know average at best.
- 18:24SPEAKER_03: Uh, the commanders are pretty bad.
- 18:26SPEAKER_03: The Dolphins, you know, they're okay.
- 18:30SPEAKER_03: Uh, but you've got Tyreek Waddle uh back in the mix, Master Nay Chain will probably be changing up, you know, carries just moving the ball downfield with Tua at the helm.
- 18:40SPEAKER_03: So I think you know, right there that says plenty as as far as the Dolphins.
- 18:45SPEAKER_03: Now, if they get up a little bit, that's not anything Sam Howe's gonna worry about because he throws more than anyone in the entire league.
- 18:52SPEAKER_03: And he's caught Curtis Samuel back 100%.
- 18:56SPEAKER_03: Um, you know, Curtis Samuel was injured and then got 12 targets or something last week and looked incredible, like 100 yards.
- 19:04SPEAKER_03: Logan Thomas, Jahan Dotson, of course, Terry McLaurin.
- 19:07SPEAKER_03: So there's too many weapons on both sides of the ball, and you know, very similar story as your hot matchup, only these teams don't have a defense.
- 19:18SPEAKER_03: So that's my first hot matchup.
- 19:20SPEAKER_03: And you know, Jeff Wilson, if if you're looking for a reach, like uh a double flex play, and you need someone, he put up 10 points last week.
- 19:30SPEAKER_03: So you might be able to plug them in if get lucky.
- 19:35SPEAKER_00: Well, so um that running back situation, if people remember, once uh a chan started going off for Miami, they actually stopped using Raheem Mostert for those two weeks that like after because uh Achan went off for a couple weeks, and then uh they they started giving uh Raheem Mostert minimal touches, and he actually had single, you know, like 10-point weeks, not single digit, but low scoring weeks, and then obviously he got injured.
- 19:59SPEAKER_00: So um, but uh uh as far as Miami, they had they their defense was starting to look really good the last one or two weeks, but they actually just lost Jalen Phillips last week for Torres Achilles as well on the turf at MetLife.
- 20:14SPEAKER_03: So they remember, yeah.
- 20:16SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so they they had another injury, a big blow to their defense.
- 20:20SPEAKER_00: So yeah, it's definitely commanders are a great offensive team, horrible defensive team, and then they have one of the highest spreads of the week as well at uh 49 and a half.
- 20:30SPEAKER_00: So that's definitely gonna be a high scoring game and a big, big game I would want a piece of.
- 20:35SPEAKER_00: So um we could see another record breaking day for possibly a Tyreek Hill that day.
- 20:41SPEAKER_03: Hell yeah.
- 20:43SPEAKER_03: What's your uh second hot matchup of the week?
- 20:48SPEAKER_00: Well, I definitely went with uh Broncos versus Texans, so that's gonna be a big matchup because uh I think Texans are coming uh fresh off a loss, right?
- 21:00SPEAKER_00: Uh they just lost to a really good game to the Jacksonville Jaguars.
- 21:05SPEAKER_00: It was really close.
- 21:06SPEAKER_00: Uh they took them down to the field, they kicked a field goal.
- 21:10SPEAKER_00: I think it was like a 50-yarder or something like that, and they almost hit it.
- 21:14SPEAKER_00: It like bounced just short on the goalpost.
- 21:18SPEAKER_00: It hit the middle and bounced back.
- 21:19SPEAKER_03: Was that the Texans game?
- 21:22SPEAKER_00: That was the Texans game, yeah.
- 21:23SPEAKER_03: Texans, yeah, when it went boom right off the fucking center.
- 21:30SPEAKER_03: Yeah, right in the middle of the center of the goalpost.
- 21:32SPEAKER_00: It hit, yeah, boom, and it and that was the tie it sent it to overtime with uh and CJ Stroud drove it down, man.
- 21:40SPEAKER_00: And uh Trevor Lawrence had a great day, bro.
- 21:42SPEAKER_00: So he was he just really went off, bro.
- 21:44SPEAKER_00: They um Travis Etienne.
- 21:46SPEAKER_00: I'm glad I I traded him in that league.
- 21:49SPEAKER_00: I didn't get the right player though.
- 21:50SPEAKER_00: I could have gotten CNC and I would have been in the playoffs still, but I traded him one too many times to the wrong guy.
- 21:56SPEAKER_00: But uh uh it was a good game.
- 21:58SPEAKER_00: CJ Strat, I think.
- 22:00SPEAKER_00: He's coming off that loss.
- 22:01SPEAKER_00: The Texans are six and six.
- 22:02SPEAKER_00: They're still scrapping for a playoff spot.
- 22:05SPEAKER_00: So I see him having a big day.
- 22:08SPEAKER_00: And the Broncos, I think they won what five in a row.
- 22:11SPEAKER_03: Yeah, they're surprising everybody.
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: Absolutely.
- 22:13SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
- 22:14SPEAKER_00: And I think that magic is going to wear off, man, because they they, you know, they beat these teams and they beat some good teams, but I think you can only get lucky for so long.
- 22:23SPEAKER_00: And uh CJ Stroud, I think, is uh you know the better quarterback.
- 22:28SPEAKER_00: I think they're the better team overall as Texans, and they look much better.
- 22:32SPEAKER_00: So I could see that being a higher scoring game.
- 22:34SPEAKER_00: They're they have the same spread as the Eagles, 47 and a half.
- 22:37SPEAKER_00: So I you know, if Vegas thinks it's gonna be one of the higher scoring games of the week, I think that more of those points are gonna be on the uh Texans side.
- 22:46SPEAKER_00: And then when when I think Russ is gonna answer back, even though you think the Broncos are out of a game where they're not gonna do much, Russ will score some ugly points, put it on the board, keep it close.
- 22:58SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he always he always keeps them in the game.
- 23:01SPEAKER_00: So um, but I still think that you could see a pretty big day for uh and if they were exposed earlier in the season, I could see that being another high scoring affair and just make it a fun game for Tank Dell.
- 23:12SPEAKER_03: So oh man, I hope he's all right.
- 23:14SPEAKER_03: He's he's listed as questionable, but I think it's just a maintenance day or something.
- 23:18SPEAKER_03: Um and then Noah Brown, I think he's out again this week, but he might be back.
- 23:24SPEAKER_03: But you know, once those three get back, man, I mean CJ Stroud doesn't need three, he's doing fine with just Tank Dell and Nico Collins, but you know, having Robert Woods in the mix and Noah Brown in the mix, I mean, it's that dude's probably gonna be rookie of the year.
- 23:43SPEAKER_00: Oh yeah, he should.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: He better get it.
- 23:44SPEAKER_00: CJ Stroud's rookie of the year.
- 23:47SPEAKER_00: Um, and you know, you could even make a case for Tank Dell, the guy he's throwing it to, you know.
- 23:53SPEAKER_00: But you get you it has to be CJ because he's throwing him the ball.
- 23:56SPEAKER_00: He's make you know, he's making it happen.
- 23:58SPEAKER_00: But defensive player of the year, of course, we all know is gonna be uh the rookie for the Eagles, Jalen Carter.
- 24:05SPEAKER_00: We all know that he he's freaking amazing.
- 24:08SPEAKER_00: But um, but yeah, that what about you?
- 24:10SPEAKER_00: What's your next hot matchup for the week?
- 24:12SPEAKER_03: Um, the Seahawks and the Cowboys.
- 24:15SPEAKER_03: And it could be a one-sided game, and I could be wrong.
- 24:21SPEAKER_03: Uh Dak has been an absolute monster, and CeeDee Lamb, total monster.
- 24:25SPEAKER_03: He's eating so much, he should be like 300 pounds by now.
- 24:29SPEAKER_03: But Pollard's been looking good too.
- 24:32SPEAKER_03: So, you know, you've got the three of them that are gonna be putting up points for sure.
- 24:38SPEAKER_03: The only thing I'm wondering is it could be a one-sided game where Seattle doesn't, they they try to answer, but they don't, just because the Cowboys' defense is that good.
- 24:49SPEAKER_03: But if the Seahawks start, you know, just chucking the ball and getting it to DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett and scoring points, then you know the Cowboys are gonna answer back pretty quickly, and it could actually be a pretty high-scoring game.
- 25:03SPEAKER_03: Now, I wouldn't play Geno Smith, but I would probably play DK.
- 25:08SPEAKER_03: And if if you don't have a better option, Lockett.
- 25:10SPEAKER_03: Um, and then of course on the other side of the ball, you're you're playing Dak, you're playing CeeDee Lamb, and you're playing Pollard, like with a lot of confidence because Seahawks um are not gonna be able to stop them.
- 25:23SPEAKER_03: And again, if they got to catch up and they actually can answer a few times, then you got a high-scoring game, no doubt.
- 25:32SPEAKER_03: So I'm I'm steering in that direction where the Seahawks are gonna have at least uh a somewhat competitive game, enough where they can stay in it and score points.
- 25:43SPEAKER_03: And I also wanted to say Charbonnet is a very risky start, but he might be your best option at this point, too.
- 25:51SPEAKER_03: So I'm playing him in one league.
- 25:53SPEAKER_03: I don't really have another option.
- 25:56SPEAKER_00: I would I would play him against that um run defense, definitely.
- 26:01SPEAKER_00: But um, yeah, I would say this it one thing you could count on is is Dallas covering that spread against uh hard, you know, a struggling team because that's what they do.
- 26:10SPEAKER_00: Like a good team, they don't cover the spread because uh they get shellacked.
- 26:15SPEAKER_00: But you know, a team that's struggling like the Seahawks, I could see Dallas, you know, that the game's either gonna go two ways, right?
- 26:20SPEAKER_00: Either Dallas is gonna completely dominate dominate them and score all the points, like 40 points, or um Seahawks is are actually gonna connect on their passes and actually keep it competitive.
- 26:32SPEAKER_00: Because there's one thing that for sure is gonna happen is Seahawks are not gonna stop Dallas from scoring.
- 26:37SPEAKER_00: So Dallas is gonna score because they are really good offensively.
- 26:40SPEAKER_00: I will admit that uh for sure, and defensively they're great.
- 26:43SPEAKER_00: That's why you know I I think for sure that that's gonna happen as well.
- 26:47SPEAKER_00: So um it's gonna be uh, you know, either way, the game's either gonna be competitive for Dallas or just a blowout for Dallas.
- 26:54SPEAKER_00: So it's gonna go in their favor no matter what.
- 26:57SPEAKER_00: So but yeah, it's gonna be you play those guys with confidence, you play Dak with confidence, you know, you play um, you know, anybody on Seahawks with with a sh you know with questionable question marks, you know, because at the end of the day, it's not a confidence start.
- 27:14SPEAKER_00: I'm kind of glad I don't have any share of the Seahawks this year.
- 27:16SPEAKER_00: I really wanted Kenneth Walker.
- 27:18SPEAKER_00: I questioned myself for not grabbing him earlier, but uh, you know, at this point I'm not I'm not too upset about it anymore.
- 27:23SPEAKER_00: I mean I have some Zach Sharper names for people that grabbed Kenneth in front of me and I dangled him as trade bait, and now I'm like, see, I told you this day would happen, and now they want to make a not so tempting offer.
- 27:37SPEAKER_00: I'm like, well, I don't even need that offer anymore.
- 27:39SPEAKER_00: It's already too late.
- 27:40SPEAKER_00: So yeah, but yeah, what what do you think about?
- 27:43SPEAKER_03: I I think that uh for the for the most part Charbonnet, he'll probably get you like 15 points, maybe maybe 15 points if it's a good game.
- 27:54SPEAKER_03: But I'd I'd say probably lower.
- 27:56SPEAKER_03: I'd probably say like 12 is more realistic, you know.
- 28:00SPEAKER_03: So I'm yeah, I'm starting him in one league.
- 28:03SPEAKER_03: I had uh Kenneth Walker in one league too, and I was really pumped up because at the beginning of the season he was tearing things up, but I started seeing his touches go down a little bit, like three weeks in a row, and I was like, hmm, something's going on here.
- 28:20SPEAKER_03: Traded him away, and I'm glad I did.
- 28:23SPEAKER_00: Smart.
- 28:24SPEAKER_00: That was a genius move.
- 28:26SPEAKER_00: You got top dollar.
- 28:27SPEAKER_00: I tried, and I actually tried to trade somebody for him.
- 28:30SPEAKER_00: I'm glad I didn't end up getting him because I would have got ripped off what I was trying to offer.
- 28:35SPEAKER_00: That's the game.
- 28:37SPEAKER_00: Name of the game, baby.
- 28:42SPEAKER_00: All right, boys and girls, get your marshmallows out.
- 28:47SPEAKER_00: It's a little cold in here.
- 28:54SPEAKER_03: All right, Joe, what's your cold matchup?
- 28:57SPEAKER_03: Uh my cold matchup of the week is the Falcons versus the Jets.
- 29:04SPEAKER_03: Um both defenses are expected to make some big plays this weekend.
- 29:11SPEAKER_03: So you could see some exciting stuff on the defensive side of the ball, but I'm not very confident in the offense for either of these teams.
- 29:20SPEAKER_03: And I think most likely you're gonna see uh a lot of volume to Garrett Wilson where they're not gonna be good passes, he'll catch enough to be a respectable play, and you'll see Bijan have a good day too.
- 29:35SPEAKER_03: But outside of those two guys, you're not playing anyone from those teams.
- 29:41SPEAKER_03: So Brees Hall, I guess, will be another solid play where you're gonna be confident in his floor.
- 29:49SPEAKER_03: Um But yeah, actually, aside from those three guys, you just want to stay far away from the Falcons and far away from the Jets.
- 29:56SPEAKER_03: And if their defenses do come to play, and it's just a stalemate where they're doing a lot of running, um, a lot of three and outs, then expect it to be a very low-scoring game.
- 30:07SPEAKER_03: That's what I see happening.
- 30:08SPEAKER_03: A lot of three and outs, a really low-scoring game.
- 30:11SPEAKER_03: You'll see a grind from Brees Hall and a grind from Bijan and a bunch of passes, a bunch of bad passes to Garrett Wilson.
- 30:19SPEAKER_03: It's good just going to be an awful game to watch and a low-scoring affair.
- 30:25SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I agree.
- 30:26SPEAKER_00: I you know, I even I'm even scared if of starring Bijan, if I have him, because the Jets have a pretty good front seven.
- 30:34SPEAKER_00: They could easily just kind of shut it, shut down the run, just make it a really ugly, low-scoring game.
- 30:40SPEAKER_00: And it, I think it's in New York.
- 30:42SPEAKER_00: Um, let me see here.
- 30:44SPEAKER_00: Uh it is Falcons at Jets.
- 30:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so if it's an ugly weather game, you know, with raining like it has been miserable lately, that could be a really even miserable day, especially for the Falcons or warm weather team.
- 30:59SPEAKER_00: You could even see it at uh low scoring, right?
- 31:02SPEAKER_00: Um, Brees Hall could also struggle because Falcons are a good run team, is run defense as well.
- 31:08SPEAKER_00: So you're right, that could definitely be a really low, ugly grind fess.
- 31:13SPEAKER_00: And you know, I don't want any part of it.
- 31:15SPEAKER_00: Maybe as a running back, yeah, you could slowly get your fantasy points, but are they, you know, is it gonna be worth the draft capital that you have to pay for them?
- 31:23SPEAKER_00: Probably not.
- 31:24SPEAKER_00: You could probably get a little bit more upside, you know, with certain guys, you know, for those price points for sure.
- 31:31SPEAKER_03: Yeah, but in a season long, you're probably not gonna have a better play than Bijan.
- 31:35SPEAKER_03: So you have to play him, but other than that, oh yeah, for sure.
- 31:39SPEAKER_00: You're you're gonna start him no matter what.
- 31:41SPEAKER_00: And if you have Aaron Rodgers, you're definitely gonna bench him.
- 31:44SPEAKER_00: That guy, man, that guy did not tear his Achilles, bro.
- 31:48SPEAKER_00: That was just I feel like that guy, you know, it's kind of like when that one time Brady hurt his pinky, like in the when he was with the Buccaneers, and he's like, Yeah, I've been playing with uh you know uh a fractured pinky this whole time, you know?
- 32:01SPEAKER_00: And I was like, Yeah, bullshit, no one cares, Brady.
- 32:05SPEAKER_00: Like, trying to add to your legacy with a fake injury, like Aaron Rodgers probably just like, you know, something happened to him, and they're like, Yeah, I just need a fake medical, so I can get out of work for a couple months, you know, doc.
- 32:16SPEAKER_01: I just want to go do some Hayowuska, you know.
- 32:20SPEAKER_01: Oh man, I think he got hurt.
- 32:23SPEAKER_01: He's like, Yeah, I'll make a fake one for you, bro.
- 32:26SPEAKER_01: Here, let me sign that here.
- 32:28SPEAKER_01: He's coming back.
- 32:28SPEAKER_01: Did you see they released him from IR today?
- 32:32SPEAKER_00: Yeah, he acted, he's activated on the roster.
- 32:35SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah.
- 32:36SPEAKER_03: Activated him, yeah.
- 32:37SPEAKER_00: I don't know, man.
- 32:38SPEAKER_00: That's that's that's a long shot.
- 32:41SPEAKER_03: That's a long shot.
- 32:42SPEAKER_03: I wouldn't pick him up.
- 32:46SPEAKER_03: But I'd like to hang out with him sometime.
- 32:50SPEAKER_03: All right, who's your uh cold call of the week?
- 32:54SPEAKER_00: Um, I went with the Panthers versus the Bucks, man.
- 32:58SPEAKER_00: It's gonna be a divisional clash.
- 33:00SPEAKER_00: Um, it's uh Vegas has them at 36 and a half of the spread.
- 33:06SPEAKER_00: That means the rest are gonna be calling a lot of penalties, they're gonna be calling a bunch of stuff back, they're gonna be controlling that game.
- 33:12SPEAKER_00: That's how you know, bro.
- 33:14SPEAKER_00: They're gonna be calling a lot of penalties.
- 33:16SPEAKER_00: Vegas be controlling these damn numbers.
- 33:20SPEAKER_00: Um, but yeah, man, grind fest, um divisional fest.
- 33:26SPEAKER_00: I mean, Panthers have a new coach.
- 33:27SPEAKER_00: Who's even the coach?
- 33:28SPEAKER_00: They fired the coach, they fired the running backs coach and a quarterback's coach.
- 33:32SPEAKER_00: Josh McCown, Deuce Daley, Frank Reich are gone.
- 33:37SPEAKER_00: Like that was crazy.
- 33:39SPEAKER_02: All at the same time.
- 33:40SPEAKER_00: I don't I mean, I I figure one would be promoted to the other.
- 33:44SPEAKER_00: That was weird.
- 33:46SPEAKER_00: I don't know what happened.
- 33:47SPEAKER_00: And those were all like respectable coaches, you know, most part for sure.
- 33:52SPEAKER_00: It was weird, but um, so I don't know what's happening there and that uh in that team, and then the Bucks might take advantage, but Panthers have a good defense.
- 34:01SPEAKER_00: So I just I don't know, man.
- 34:02SPEAKER_00: It's not a game I really want to invest a lot in, even on on like on DraftKings.
- 34:08SPEAKER_00: I'm a little bit skeptical on wasting the money on any of those players.
- 34:12SPEAKER_00: They just seem like they're gonna be a little bit risky, especially Rashad White.
- 34:16SPEAKER_00: You know, he's looking around like you know, 6200.
- 34:20SPEAKER_00: I'd rather play somebody, you know, Najee Harris at 5200.
- 34:23SPEAKER_00: You know, he has a little bit more upside for me at that price.
- 34:26SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I mean, Rashad White's gonna be a rock solid floor, and he's got he's got the uh upside potential most weeks.
- 34:34SPEAKER_03: Um, Mike Evans is probably a guy that you're gonna want to play too, but I don't know what the rest of your squad looks like in a season long.
- 34:43SPEAKER_03: You you're gonna play him though.
- 34:45SPEAKER_00: Oh, yeah, Mike Evans, two touchdowns last week.
- 34:48SPEAKER_00: Like his only passes are touchdowns, like the only receptions he gets a game are always for freaking touchdowns, bro.
- 34:56SPEAKER_00: He's always wide open for a touchdown.
- 34:57SPEAKER_00: It's crazy.
- 34:58SPEAKER_00: I know, man.
- 34:59SPEAKER_00: Godwin doesn't get anything.
- 35:00SPEAKER_00: Poor freaking guy.
- 35:02SPEAKER_00: Baker doesn't even look for him.
- 35:04SPEAKER_03: I know, I hate it.
- 35:05SPEAKER_03: I know.
- 35:06SPEAKER_03: I've had Godwin on my bench in one league all year.
- 35:10SPEAKER_03: I can't trade him, no one wants him.
- 35:12SPEAKER_03: And he's good, it sucks, you know.
- 35:15SPEAKER_00: I hate it, but whatever.
- 35:17SPEAKER_00: I hate it.
- 35:18SPEAKER_03: And then I don't think uh I don't think Adam Thielen's the you know, the same the same player that you had confidence in a month ago.
- 35:27SPEAKER_00: So I got rid of sold high on him.
- 35:31SPEAKER_00: Remember what I said, boys and girls, four four weeks ago.
- 35:34SPEAKER_00: I got rid of him.
- 35:35SPEAKER_00: That's right when the decline started.
- 35:38SPEAKER_00: I got James Cook, which ended up being who?
- 35:42SPEAKER_00: Yeah, James Cook's legit.
- 35:44SPEAKER_00: Jameer Gibbs.
- 35:46SPEAKER_03: Oh, you did that?
- 35:47SPEAKER_03: You did that trade?
- 35:49SPEAKER_00: Yeah, that's how I got that's how I got Jameer Gibbs, man.
- 35:53SPEAKER_00: I traded with you for James.
- 35:54SPEAKER_00: I got I gave you James Cook.
- 35:57SPEAKER_03: Oh, that's the league you're talking about.
- 35:59SPEAKER_03: Oh yeah, that can't be alive though.
- 36:01SPEAKER_03: I don't think yeah, they're all started from Thielen, huh?
- 36:05SPEAKER_03: It's funny when you all started from Thielen.
- 36:08SPEAKER_03: It's funny to do that sometimes, to trace the timeline back on a trade.
- 36:12SPEAKER_03: You're like boop, boop, boop, boop.
- 36:14SPEAKER_00: Yeah, bro.
- 36:16SPEAKER_00: James Cook came from Thielen.
- 36:18SPEAKER_00: That's part of that trade.
- 36:19SPEAKER_00: Because I just got rid of uh just just uh what's it justin Pickens, the the wide receiver for uh Pittsburgh.
- 36:29SPEAKER_03: George, yeah.
- 36:29SPEAKER_03: I traded him, I traded him for James Cook in one league.
- 36:33SPEAKER_03: I traded Pickens high to get James Cook because I needed a running back that week.
- 36:36SPEAKER_03: I didn't even want to do it, but I'm glad I did now.
- 36:40SPEAKER_00: Bro, it worked out.
- 36:41SPEAKER_00: That was a great trade.
- 36:42SPEAKER_00: I just trade George Pickens today, sorry, for in that league where I lost uh Mark Andrews, and I just got Cole Komet, you know, equal value.
- 36:52SPEAKER_00: They're both averaging 10 or 11 points, but that's keeping me alive now.
- 36:55SPEAKER_00: Cole Komet to see if Mark Andrews comes back.
- 36:59SPEAKER_00: So I get a solid 10 points a game tight end right coming off of bye week, so week 13.
- 37:05SPEAKER_00: So we'll see how that works out.
- 37:06SPEAKER_00: But you know, got rid of a guy I'm not even gonna start because George Pickens, I'm not gonna start him for the rest of the year, man.
- 37:13SPEAKER_00: Through that, I'm rolling with DJ Moore and Tank Dell.
- 37:17SPEAKER_00: Bro, if you got DJ Moore and Tank Dell, oh yeah, you know, you're just gonna roll with those guys.
- 37:23SPEAKER_00: And then uh Amon Ross and Brown, I'll never go past any of those guys.
- 37:27SPEAKER_00: Oh, wait, no way, no way.
- 37:31SPEAKER_00: I'm good.
- 37:44SPEAKER_00: All right, big ballers.
- 37:46SPEAKER_00: It's time to let them hang.
- 37:48SPEAKER_00: Time for your big balls call of the week.
- 37:51SPEAKER_00: And uh we're gonna go ahead and let Joe let them hang here first.
- 37:56SPEAKER_00: Joe, tell us what's your big balls call first?
- 37:59SPEAKER_03: Uh I alluded to this a little bit earlier, but I believe that Zach Moss is going to finish as the RB1 this week.
- 38:12SPEAKER_03: One.
- 38:13SPEAKER_03: What's your prediction for stats?
- 38:15SPEAKER_03: When he played Tennessee in week five, as I said earlier, he racked up 195 total yards.
- 38:21SPEAKER_03: There's 165 rushing yards and 30 passing yards and two touchdowns.
- 38:27SPEAKER_03: He's playing Tennessee again this week.
- 38:29SPEAKER_03: I'm not saying it's gonna be the same day game.
- 38:31SPEAKER_03: They're gonna have the same offense, same defense, whatever.
- 38:34SPEAKER_03: But I guarantee you, Zach Moss still has a huge day.
- 38:39SPEAKER_03: I'm not going to say 195 total yards, but I'm gonna say a hundred total yards and two touchdowns and finish as the RB1.
- 38:50SPEAKER_00: All right, I like it.
- 38:52SPEAKER_00: Letting them hang.
- 38:54SPEAKER_03: That's right.
- 38:55SPEAKER_03: What about you?
- 38:56SPEAKER_03: What's what's your big balls call of the week?
- 39:00SPEAKER_00: Well, my big balls call.
- 39:02SPEAKER_00: I was thinking about this earlier, and I was like, you know, this is gonna help influence how I do some lineups this week as well.
- 39:08SPEAKER_00: So I I alluded to this myself.
- 39:10SPEAKER_00: So I was talking about achieved value play Najee Harris today at 155,200, because I like his um upside.
- 39:17SPEAKER_00: So I will I was saying something about I think Najee Harris, the new uh offensive coordinator for the Steelers, was the running back coach, and I think him and Najee Harris have some history.
- 39:26SPEAKER_00: I don't know exactly the history.
- 39:27SPEAKER_00: I know they were he coached him before in the past.
- 39:29SPEAKER_00: I don't know if it was in college or another high school or something like that.
- 39:33SPEAKER_00: Uh, but um obviously someone can check me and correct me, whatever that history that is.
- 39:38SPEAKER_00: But um obviously we saw it last week.
- 39:41SPEAKER_00: Najee Harris was rejuvenated, a man on fire, and he was running with authority.
- 39:46SPEAKER_00: I remember one time he ran into a uh a pile, a line of scrimmage, and then he just kind of disappeared, and you thought he was down, and all of a sudden, like he moved the line of scrimmage like the whole dog pile five more yards up.
- 39:56SPEAKER_00: It was crazy.
- 39:58SPEAKER_00: Um, and he was just running like we saw him two years ago.
- 40:02SPEAKER_00: We haven't seen him run this strong under Matt Canada's tutelage.
- 40:06SPEAKER_00: So uh I could see that being a big day for him.
- 40:09SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm gonna run several stacks with him and Zach Moss, definitely.
- 40:13SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm very excited about them.
- 40:15SPEAKER_00: So uh you could see I'll definitely be running some some alterations there.
- 40:20SPEAKER_00: But um I I predict Najee Harris to have 125 rushing yards and a touchdown here tomorrow.
- 40:26SPEAKER_00: The reason why I don't predict him to have more is because obviously they are probably gonna give some love to Jalen Warren.
- 40:32SPEAKER_00: Well, I think he'll be as efficient.
- 40:33SPEAKER_00: No, but I think definitely for that that particular budget, he will be a really good play, and so you'll get a lot of value for him.
- 40:41SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I think he's a great play.
- 40:43SPEAKER_03: I think they're both a rock solid play uh for the rest of the season, especially with you know this revitalized offense.
- 40:51SPEAKER_03: The whole offense looked so much better last week, and I think that's just gonna be you know, we the Steelers have somehow stayed alive this long, and I think now they're hungry.
- 41:01SPEAKER_03: All the players alluded to the fact that they were a little happier with Matt Canada gun.
- 41:06SPEAKER_03: They didn't just outright say it, but they kind of did.
- 41:08SPEAKER_03: And um, you know, if the morale is up, they have a winning record, and the offense starts falling into play, those both of those guys are gonna have you know a really good playoff.
- 41:19SPEAKER_03: Uh, probably gonna be someone you can start in your flex spot every week.
- 41:28SPEAKER_00: Agreed.
- 41:33SPEAKER_00: All right, big ballers.
