• 2:18
  Speaker 1: eight for eight yards. Pooker really liked that. And the
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: reason Pooker had a crazy day is because Matthew Stafford
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: had a crazy day. Top scoring quarterback for Week sixteen
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: thirty five point four five points, had four hundred and
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: fifty seven yards, three touchdowns. He really did his thing

  Speaker 1: Teddy Killer really liked that. He been like that for years.

  Speaker 1: So if you got killed him, throw him in the line.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Even in a lot of New Orleans Saints, My Saints
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: got a dub, got a crazy dub. Shuck looked like
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we we look like we got something with Shuk. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: like how he looked, look confident, look poors. Anyway, that's
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: the wrong side of the ball, the bar talking up
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: the side of the ball. I'm talking about his defense.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: Saints had nineteen fantasy points, six points allowed, one pick,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: fumber recovery, eight sacks on Brady Cook. Saints looked good
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: at that day for three in a row, three in
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: a row. So yeah, you know what I mean. We
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: got some cooking up down there in New Orleans. But hey, anyway,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: that's neither hear no that. Let's talk about who next up.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: Though surprise used to spike in Week sixteen, I ain't
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: gonna lie. I was a few years earlier on this dude,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: Taj Spears. I thought he was gonna be something. Last year,
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: I thought he was gonna be something. The year before,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: it looked like it finally popped out in Week sixteen.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Thirteen rushes fifty two yards average four yards have carried
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Crazy Day. Crazy Day five catches fifty three yards. Hey,
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: he do big numbers and bit in the passing game
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: and on the ground. Is what you see right here.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: That's eighteen total touches for one hundred and five. Great
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: Day snapcount jumped up to forty seven percent. You know
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: what I'm saying. Like I said, great pass catching ability,
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: ta j spiars. I was early on them, but hey,
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: look like this the week. Look like this the week.
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I hit you out with them top performers,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: you should spike guys. Hey, Before we keep it moving,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you know, we gotta get on the injury recap. As always,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: we always praying for all these players. Make sure you
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, they quality of life ain't damaged,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: you know, beyond repair with some of these injuries. We
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: pray that these players can you know, recover get close
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: to one hundred percent as possible because they sacrifice a
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: lot to play the game of football and they, if
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: for one, I appreciate it. So with our further due
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: let's go get into it. Quinn Shawn Jenkins, he had
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: a nasty leg fraction. He out for the year. Gardner
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: Minshew unfortunately told Ac yeah, right after Pat Mahonmes told
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: all Ac. So they lost two quarterbacks in two weeks, insane.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Jordan Love concussion. He left that Saturday night game. Malik
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Willis showed the injury. They both didn't return in that
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: Saturday night game. Josh Allen had a foot injury, but
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: he did return. Shadua Sunders had a finger injury. He
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: did return to the game. JJ mccarth did Marcus Marioda.
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: They both hurt the right hand. Marioda also had a
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: quad injury. Neither one of them returned to the game.
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: Josh Jacobs knee injury. We're thinking this, or at least
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: I'm seeing in the fantasy community they think, and it's
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: a reinjury of the same need he been dealing with.
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: He didn't return. Jordan Mason hurt his ankle, he didn't return.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Aaron Jones hurt his ankle, he did return. Combined A
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: Doll hurt his neck. He didn't return. So, you know,
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: we hate to hear that. Pat Brown also had a concussion.
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: Brian Floyd Noyd had a knee injury and Tyler Lockett
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: had a wrist injury. None of them returned to the game.
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: As as I say, we hate to hear that. Prayers
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: up for speedy recovery and close to one hundred percent
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: as possible. And that was the injury recap, you know
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: what I mean. So let's go and get into these
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: Hustler pickup the waiver of wise school. It's championship week,
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: so I ain't give a lot. I only gave a
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: few names. Week sixteen gave us a couple of names.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: It's time to cut bait for one last time. This week,
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: you know what I'm saying. We're gonna start up with
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: the with the with the boy with the young boy
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: from the Raiders, Trey Tucker. You know what I mean.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: He thirty one and a half percent roster five point
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: six percent excuse me, five point six targets average over
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: the last six games. He only had nine point four
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: points against Houston. But I ain't too worried about that.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Houston defense been like that since Week one. He got
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: a favorable matchup versus the Giants this upcome week. They
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: give up the fifth most fantasy points to wide receivers.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: You need wide receiver help. He's a great ad for
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: you for Championship week to help you get you to
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: your help to get you to a dug Trey Tucker
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: locking in. Next up tight end from the Seahawks, AJ Barner,
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: he's sixteen percent roster. You know what I mean. His
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: usage is, his production is up and down, but this
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: is what I will say. He averages six targets a
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: game since Week eleven. He's steady. Fifteen points versus the
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: Rams last week on Thursday, and now he faced a
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: beatable Panthers defense. You know, I believe the defense is solid,
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: but it's pretty middle of the road in the passing game,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: you know what I mean as well, last points that's
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: giving up to tiny ends. Over the course of the season,
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: the Panthers ure the epitome of med So I think
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: AJ Barner got an opportunity to have a great day
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: come Sunday against a good a good Panthers team. But
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: I think this week he's a good ad, specially if
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you need tight end help get you that dug. Last
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: up and I mentioned him at the US is up
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: the upbringing the up the uptick for the use of
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: Spike Taj Spears running back from the Titans. He started
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: percent roster hey snapshare went up to forty seven percent
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: in Week sixteen. Like I said, he had thirteen rushes
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: fifty fifty two yards, five catches fifty three yards, eighteen
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: touches for one hundred and five and he also had
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: a Russian touchdown like the breakout game finals happening. He
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: did that against a good Chiefs defense. Nah, don't get
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: me wrong. I think with the injuries to the Chiefs,
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: with them losing two quarterbacks in two weeks and also
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: getting eliminated in one of the games that they lost,
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: in the game that they lost my homes, I just
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: stay you know, it was a lot on the Chiefs
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: into that game. So maybe it was it. Maybe it's
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: some one off, who knows, but I think Spears definitely
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: show some big play potential in that game, and I
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: like him as a waiver AD this week if you
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: need running back help, I think it's a great, great pickup.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: You know what I mean, to help you get a
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: dub And you already know there it is. It's the
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: week seventeen Hustle's pick up. You know what I mean,
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: Do or die? No time for regrets. It's trying to
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: lock it in. It's trying to risk it or nothing. Baby.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Next up, that's gonna lead us perfectly to the segment
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of risking and benching. Risk it or bench it. Let's
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: dive into the players that make the matchups that make
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: you sweat. First up, I got Justin Herbert versus the
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Texas Texans. I hey, look, I'm benching that. I'm benching that.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: Like I spoke on Texas or the Texans earlier, they
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: allowed the fewest Fantasy points to quarterbacks fourth rank pass
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: d Please bench him. This Houston defense is for real.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: They ain't waiver not one time this season. I had
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: him on the definitely benefited from some of the good
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: plays from Houston man they forced turnovers. I don't trust
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Herbert this week. Do not trust Herbert this week. Next up,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: I got Romindre Stevenson versus the Jets. I risk that.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: I'm risking that. I like that Jets a lot of
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: second most running back points in Fantasy Stevenson coming off
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: of seven eight total yards in a touchdown. If Henderson
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: sit this week, you can start him comfortably now. I obviously,
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: if Henderson play, you may want to tread lightly. But
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: like I say, if trayvyon sit, I trust Stevenson. This
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: week he got a favorable match up versus the Jets.
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: You know, he's a great play this week. He's a
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: great start if you got him. Kenneth Walker versus the Panthers.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I picked on the Panthers earlier from the tight end position.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I'm risking Kenneth Walker too, risking. I'm risking that too.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: And I hope the Panthers clinch. I really do. But
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the Panthers allowed one hundred and sixteen rest yards a game,
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: ninth most and back fantasy points. I think that's a
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: great matchup for Kennith Walker. And if Kennith Walker got
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: you to the championship this week, it's a great time
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to be playing them, to be starting them to try
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: to get it. Doug. Next up, Trey Tucker. I mentioned
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: them in the waiver of Wire Scoop and the Hustlers
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: pick up. I really like this matchup. I really love
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: this matchup. Giants twenty third versus the past fifth most
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: Fantasy points to wide receivers. Trey Tucker also averaging five
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: and a half targets of games. You know, so in
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: the last six weeks. So it's a solid gamble. It's
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: a great gamble, Gino Back. I know that may may
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: not mean a lot to some people, but I think
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: it mean enough for Trey Tucker to have a big time,
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: big day this weekend against the Giants. In the former Raider.
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: Jacoby Mayas versus the Coats, I'm risking that. I like that,
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: and this is my favorite one on this list. You
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. The Coats got the thirty first
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: ranked pass defense, he got three straight games with seven
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: or more targets. Connection, heating up with Trevor, you know
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: what I mean. And there's no there's no mistaken no,
• 12:08
  Speaker 1: there's no wonder that when Trevor started playing better, or
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: when Jacobe get there and they finally, you know, link
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: up and they got a building a connection, Trevor starts
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: playing better like that. Like look, Trevor is on a
• 12:22
  Speaker 1: burner like none other right now. He's going crazy. So
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: I really love that matchup. Jacoby Ryans versus the Costs.
• 12:31
  Speaker 1: You could definitely risk that comfortably. It's my dog, Theo
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: Johnson versus the Riters. Hey, the mission is COVID. We
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: appreciate you. We appreciate you for sure. But today this week,
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: we gotta bet you the writers really lock up on defense.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: They really do, they really do, and especially towards the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: tight end. They only giving up six point four fantasy
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: points a game to the tight end and they only
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: give up the third least amount of tight end yards
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: at six hundred on the year. Fade this with the quickness,
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: don't waste it, don't waste no time, don't even think
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about it. Fade THEO Johnson versus the writers. Uh and
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: because they really lock up. So yeah, those the risk
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: of the bench of cars. The tough start sits for
• 13:18
  Speaker 1: the week. Hey, if you got questions, you got somebody
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: you're looking at, start over another you don't know what
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: to do, tap in on next hashtag Hustle Sports Fantasy
• 13:28
  Speaker 1: Podcast at Hustle sports Net. Hit us with them, start
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: seeing questions. We're gonna help you get that dug. We're
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: trying to get a dug. We're trying to get a chip.
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: You know, we're here for We're here for wins. That's it,
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: nothing else, nothing else. So with that being said, we're
• 13:44
  Speaker 1: gonna keep it pushing to this Hustle's Energy Locked Pick
• 13:47
  Speaker 1: of the week. You know this who this is who
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: I locked the lock. I'm throwing away the KEYO. You
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: know this is my dog. You know this is my dog.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I picked them, scooped them in the second round this year.
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: It didn't work out the way I thought it was
• 14:00
  Speaker 1: gonna work for as an individual standpoint, But I am
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: thankful that I'm here, you know, to the Championship to
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: be able to play him, because he got a great
• 14:09
  Speaker 1: matchup this week, and that's Bucky Irvin, my dog, Bucky
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: Irving versus the Dolphins. The Dolphins ranked twenty seventh against
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: the run, you know what I mean. They also like
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: thirteenth against the pass, so they kind of middle of
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: the road in the past, kind of solid. But Bucket
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: could do both. He can run the ball. He in
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: the passing game. He just a playmaker. And his numbers,
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: don't you know, they they not man what you expected for,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: you know, a second third round pick. But he solid
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: since he came back. Seventy six scrimmage yards since he
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: came back from injury, got four games. He got the
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: averaging seventeen touches a game since coming back, so the
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: usage just there. He got two tds in the last
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: four games. I believe this is a great match up
• 14:55
  Speaker 1: for Bucket to get that confidence back to set up
• 14:58
  Speaker 1: that win, to take all match up against the Panthers
• 15:01
  Speaker 1: and Week E team that Tampa Bay got looking at him.
• 15:03
  Speaker 1: They standing down a barrel on that one. So I
• 15:06
  Speaker 1: feel like they if they want to, if they want
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: to have a chance come Week E team, they better
• 15:10
  Speaker 1: make sure Bucket do it. It got anything to do
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: with it, they better make sure he go crazy. That's
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: who I'm locking the lock and I'm throwing a way

  Speaker 1: I'm pressing the button, but I already know it's favorite baby.
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: That's why I'm here. I already know that's why I'm here.
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: So I'm thankful, grateful for the opportunity. Salute to the
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: you know, the managers that made the playoffs. Y'all can
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: see the playoff bracket right here, you know, And salute
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: to the people who put that, you know, put their
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: fantasy skills to the test this year, this year probably
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: ain't work out the way you wanted it to, but
• 17:02
  Speaker 1: good luck to you next year. But yeah, before we
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: move on again, I want to shout out manager a
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: wolf Pack and good luck to you in the championship round.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm saying. We're here, we at the end.
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: It's that time of year, baby, so we before we
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: close the show out. You already know we gotta hit
• 17:20
  Speaker 1: these fantasy community debates. You know what I'm saying, the
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: stuff I see online x you know Reddit debates. You
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, good stuff. The question is in
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: the Fantasy Championship, is it riskier to hold injured stars
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: hoping they return or dropped in for a hot stream
• 17:39
  Speaker 1: of the security title? Uh? Yeah, hey, and make sure
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: y'all sign off in the comments because I want to
• 17:44
  Speaker 1: hear y'all opinion for me though. This is what this
• 17:49
  Speaker 1: is where I think, Uh, if someone gets hurt, it's
• 17:54
  Speaker 1: easier to let it go if you got information on
• 17:58
  Speaker 1: when they'll come back or even if they'll come back.
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: You know, with Bucky and O Mario Hampton, first it
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: was week ten or not for Hampton, but for Bucket
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: first it was week ten and it pushed the week twelve,
• 18:12
  Speaker 1: then week thirteen, you know what I mean, and it
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: just kept moving and you know, thankfully, you know, it
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: worked in my favor to still compete. But I think
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: sometimes it go against you. I've had seasons where it
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: went against me with injuries like that. So I think
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: it just depends on if you got a clear timeline
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: and when they're coming back. So it's probably best if
• 18:35
  Speaker 1: they out for the year, or you know, for a fact, hey,
• 18:38
  Speaker 1: week seven or whatever the timeframe is. They were week
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: seventeen in this case for championship week, they'll be back.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: They stud You gotta wait to see if they can
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: coming back. For instance, Drake London just returned in week sixteen.
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: I had him in one of my leagues. Soon as
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: I saw you was playing, he was in the you
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: know what I mean. And he's one of those players
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: where I'm not gonna sit here, you know, I gotta
• 19:06
  Speaker 1: see he got a layer doub for me and I
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: gotta live with that. I'm living with that. So I
• 19:11
  Speaker 1: think it just depends on who you have and what's
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: the timeframe on them coming back. Now, if it's somebody
• 19:18
  Speaker 1: that's closer to the streamer and talent, oh, there's no
• 19:21
  Speaker 1: chance of them coming back. Obviously that's easy to do,
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: you know, but at least in championship week, at least
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: scoop the streamer. That way you have the option to
• 19:31
  Speaker 1: play them if it comes to that. You know, if
• 19:33
  Speaker 1: you just leaving them out there, you know you can
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: you can get a little risky in who you drop
• 19:38
  Speaker 1: in the last week because it's only one week left.
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, scoop the streamer to make sure you secured
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: and then you can play it by here. But it
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: really just depends on the time and of the injury,
• 19:52
  Speaker 1: types of injuries, how they gonna play when they get back.
• 19:55
  Speaker 1: It's so many different aspects that go into that. It's
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: hard to give you just one answer, But I think
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: the best answer is secure the streamer and then gather
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: as much information as possible on your guy that you
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: try and you hope and come back, and then you
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: can make an informed decision coming into the week. Because
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: the thing is, it's bass to the wall at this point,
• 20:14
  Speaker 1: like you ain't got another week to come back and
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: fix it, and you know it is what it is,
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: so you got to live with it or die by it.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: So that's what it is. That's the Fantasy Community Debate,
