  Speaker 1: We got Bass, we got horns, we got Michael left Floria,
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: we got me Marcus Grant. That means it's a startup
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: Centam show. It is a Friday, it is Week fourteen.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: It is the final week for you to try to
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: make the playoffs in your fantasy league, at least most
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: fantasy league. So this means a whole lot no pressure
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: at all? Right, none? None? What's I know?
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: All of you out there will be logical and be
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: like I ultimately made the decision. Of course, That's how
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: it always goes.
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: Right, That's how it always goes. I don't have somebody
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: in my DMS already telling me that maybe I shouldn't
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: have told him the city Ezekiel Elliott after he put
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: up twenty plus points, I said to.
• 0:43
  Speaker 2: Sid ZK last week, and I got more messages than
• 0:46
  Speaker 2: ever in my life. I told everyone to start zeke crickets.
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: All right, there we are. This is the Stardum Citnam Show.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: He's Michael left Floria and he writes the start Sit
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: column every single week on NFL dot com. You can
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: find it at NFL dot com slash starts Sit. See
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: how handy that is. We're gonna have the top starts
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: and sits of the week. We're gonna tell you who's
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: going to pile up the points, and Lawan Jones is
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: going to join us a little bit later to talk sleepers,
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: which are very important in a week when you have
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: to make the playoffs, especially when there are two teams
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: on a buy, because why would they do that. Let's
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: start though, at the quarterback list for a week fourteen.
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: Florio tellis who is up and who is down?
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: I think Russell Wilson is in play, as is m
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: V Party Tua always brings a lot of upside love
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: wins start Jordan Love this week Justin Fields as well,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: my sis, this one's a little spicy. Justin Herbert Gino
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: Smith because forty nine ers Matthew Stafford will talk about.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: And I don't care who starts for the Saints.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: I think you sit there quarterback this week. So no
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Derek Carr, no Jamis Winston, no Bobby Abear, none of them.
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: Just sit all these Saints quarterbacks this week. Let's go
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: and start with Justin Fields, who really has played well
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: this year. I know he spent a lot of time injured.
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: We got to see Tyson bagent for while, but he's
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: back in what is a very intriguing matchup against the
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: Detroit Lions, and you're feeling okay with him against those
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: those indoor cats who are forced to play outdoors.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, one, Jared Goff might struggle to put up some
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: points on the board. Who knows, but Justin Fields in
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: his last three games against the Lions has ran for
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: over one hundred yards in each of them. And it
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: just so happens that the Lions allow the most rushing
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: yards to quarterbacks so far this season. He is top
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: twenty one in three of his last four games, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: quarterbacks against the Lions have top twenty one in three
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: of their last four games they have played. And the Lions,
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: even if GoF struggles in the cold, we know they'll
• 2:33
  Speaker 2: probably put up some points, which means the Bears will
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: have to keep their foot on the gas in this one.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that's the case. I know Adam Rank
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: is big on this. I mean he's always big obviously
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: on the Bears offense, but he does think this is
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: the first that I'm sure you're hearing of it, but
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: he does think that Justin Fields is going to push
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: the ball downfield that we won't see as many screens
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: because a couple weeks ago, more screens than a Black
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: Friday sale for the Chicago Bears offense. Matthew Stafford, former Lion,
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: now playing four with the Rams. They got to go
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: on the road to take on a very good Ravens defense,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: and it's been kind of an underwhelming year for Matthew Stafford.
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: This feels sort of like an easy sit this week.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I know, he's broken out the last couple of
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: weeks with seven passing touchdowns in his last two games,
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: and you're probably thinking I hate him or something because
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: he's routine LEAs sit in this article. But last week
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: was the first time in almost two months that we
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: saw him put up some serious yardage numbers. But now
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: he gets the Ravens, who have allowed the fewest passing
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: touchdowns allowed. They've allowed the fewest yards to quarterbacks since
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Week nine. Matthew Stafford. Right now, I think you sit
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: him this week. But if you've been streaming quarterbacks and
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: you've made the playoffs, check your waiver wire if he's
• 3:41
  Speaker 2: out there, because next week they get the Commanders.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: That is a week you could play Matthew Stafford. This
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: is not Yeah, I think there are some playoff weeks
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: for Matthew Stafford. This is not a week that I
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: would take that chance with him. Meanwhile, the other quarterback
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: who plays his home games in Los Angeles, this one,
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: this one is spicier than the Chili kills. This morning
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: at breakfast, Justin Herbert, Ay, he's a sit this week. Look.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: I love Justin Herbert the football player. I had him
• 4:07
  Speaker 2: as my MVP pick coming into the season.
• 4:10
  Speaker 1: That did not work out.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: But Justin Herbert has become boom or bust as of
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: late fourteen or fewer fantasy points in two straight and
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: four of his last seven over twenty four and those
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: other three. That's why I say he's boom or bust.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: But it's more about the matchup to me. Since Week five,
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: no quarterback has scored eighteen fantasy points against the Broncos.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: In that span.
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: They've played Patrick Mahomes twice, one time held him to
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: six fantasy points. They played Josh Allen, they played CJ. Stroud,
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: they played Jordan Love and they shut him all down
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: to fewer than eighteen fantasy points. Jordan Love being the
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: only one with multiple passing touchdowns, and my big fear
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: if Patrick Sartan can limit or even shut down Keenan Allen.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: Who else are you afraid of in this Chargers passing
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: attack right now? So because of the matchup, Look, you're
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: not sitting him for anyone, but if you have Jordan Love,
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: if you have a Russell Wilson, I think you could
• 5:01
  Speaker 2: potentially get away from Justin here.
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's it's been a rough year for Justin Herbert,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and I think not all of it is his fault.
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: Sometimes his guys just don't squeeze the football. And I
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: think your point about where they go if Keenan Allen
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: can't succeed is a very valid one for the week.
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: Speaking of Keenan Allen, let's turn our attention to wide
• 5:18
  Speaker 1: receivers and who is on Florio's start sit list.
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: We got DJ Moore as a start this week. Brandon
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Ayuk I think is always in play. Courtland Sutton comes
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: down with the hardest touchdown catch every single week. It
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: feels like Rashi Rice in play. Jaden Reed I think
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: it's a boost as well. My sits Adam Bielen. It's
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: just not the same without Frank right there, T Higgins,
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Chris Godwin and Tyler Lockett in a very tough matchup
• 5:43
  Speaker 2: against your forty nine ers.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: So let's go and dive into some of these individually.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: Or she Rice. We know that he is the wide
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: receiver one in Kansas City. I feel like that has
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: sort of been settled. You like him against your Buffalo
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Bills this week.
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: I do you mentioned that he is the wade receiver
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: one there? He has led them in targets two weeks
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: in a row. We know he's the top wide receiver.
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: He's becoming their top target. It seems the floor is safe.
• 6:08
  Speaker 2: He gives you eight or more fantasy points seemingly every
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: week in each of his last eight games as well,
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: and then he's top fourteen and two straight, so even
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: one where he went over twenty four. We're seeing more
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: upside and this could be a week. I think it
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: will be a week where the Bills are gonna put
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: up points on the Chiefs. So the Chiefs are going
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: to have to put up points if I mean, if
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: they're capable of. With the offensive slowed down, I think
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: they're gonna bounce back this week. I think it's a
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: high scoring game like we're used to when these two
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: teams match up.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: Let's let's dis suck that sentence. If the Chiefs are
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: capable of putting up points. It's not a thing we
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: have said during the Patrick Mahomes era, but this is
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: where we are right now. I think they're gonna look
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: just fine this week. I think they're gonna be full revers.
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: Suld should feel it's gonna be a lot of fun.
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: I think this game is gonna be fun this week.
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: I think we'll all be enjoyed watching it. T Higgins.
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: It's been a struggle for T Higgins all year long.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: He's been injured, They've had quarter issues early in the year,
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: Joe Burrow wasn't healthy. Now Burrows out for the rest
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: of the year. Really, beyond Jamar Chase, it's been hard
• 7:06
  Speaker 1: to find any Bengals pass catcher is worth starting.
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and Jake Browning looked really good on Monday night,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: and it did not translate to any fantasy success for
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: t Higgins. He was fifth on the Bengals in targets
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: last week, and now he gets the Colts right, who
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: have allowed the fewest yards to wide receivers since Week nine.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: They also use zone coverage at the highest rate in
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: the NFL. T Higgins has struggled against zone coverage this year.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So I know he's a big name and he's always
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: capable of surprising, but given how really down he's been
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: this year, not even many ups I think that you've
• 7:41
  Speaker 2: probably figured out how to survive without T Higgins and
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: that means you have other options, and if so, I
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: would take him and get away from Tea this week.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's weird because for all the things Jake Browning did,
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: it was very, very heavy Jamar Chase, I think there's
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: not enough upside to really worry about trying to squeeze
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: T Higgins into a lineup. There. Just getting started here,
• 8:01
  Speaker 1: we're gonna talk some running backs and tight end stick around.
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: We got plenty more here on the Stardom Situm Show.
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: Start running backs for.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Week fourteen, Go Austin Eckler. I know I said to
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: sit Herbert. I still think you start him. Even with
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: the volume concerns. The Dolphins have two absolute must start
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: rb ones every single week. Zach Moss gets too much volume,
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: and I think AJ Dillon, as long as Aaron Jones
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: is still out, is in play this week. I don't
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: want to do the Texans running back thing anymore. I'm
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: washing my hands clean of that. I have Alexander Madison
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: as they sit this week, Khalil Herbert and Kareem Hunt
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: as well Alexander Madison.
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about Zack Moss because I know
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: it wasn't necessarily a great last couple weeks with him,
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: but you mentioned the volume and the Bengals run defense
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: has not been great. It feels like we're willing to
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: give Zach Moss another opportunity.
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah. A lot of people last week were like, you
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: told me to play Zach and he gave me eight
• 9:01
  Speaker 2: Fantasy points, And I'm like, Okay, I'm gonna tell you
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: to play Zach Moss again next week because he played
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: ninety four percent of the snaps, nineteen carries three targets,
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: but ran twenty nine roundes. He's out there every single snap.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: That is why you just simply cannot pull him from
• 9:16
  Speaker 2: your lineup. And especially like Marcus said, the Bengals have
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: struggled against running backs, but they have allowed the fourth
• 9:23
  Speaker 2: highest rate of runs that have gone for ten or
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: more yards. So give him that much volume against his defense,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: he's gonna have a couple of big runs. He's going
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: to have a bigger game last week was clearly a
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: floor game. I mean, running back is pretty thin right
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: now in fantasy. If you're telling me this guy's gonna
• 9:37
  Speaker 2: play over ninety percent of the snaps and get twenty touches, yeah,
• 9:40
  Speaker 2: I don't see how you don't start it.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, this is what we want, is volume, especially this
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: time of year, when we're so uncertain about the running
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: back position. Speaking of uncertainty about the running back position,
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: I mean Kareem Hunt, the volume hasn't been there, the
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: target share hasn't been there. You really are praying he
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: finds his way to the end zone. That's kind of
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: it for him.
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And who did Kareem Hunt? Because last week he
• 10:02
  Speaker 2: had more work than Jerome Ford and twelve carries to
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: Ford's nine. I believe it was. And I just kind
• 10:08
  Speaker 2: of wanted to be like, hey, take us take like,
• 10:11
  Speaker 2: take a breath. We're not trusting Kareem Hunt here. I
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: know Joe Mixon had a huge game last week on
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Monday Night Football. The Jaguars up until that point had
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: allowed the fewest rushing yards in the NFL to running
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: backs and just two touchdowns. I know Mixing scored two
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: against them, but still they've been extremely stingy against the position.
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: Jerome Ford is the one who scored the touchdown last week.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: We saw Pierre Strong getting some touches last week.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: It is a mess.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: I don't even love Jerome Ford this week, but I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think volume probably wins out for him there. Kareem Hunt,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: I know he's a big name. You might be thinking
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: about streaming him. I would get away.
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I yeah, I' pretty much gotten away from Kareem Hunt.
• 10:48
  Speaker 1: I think I even dropped him in a couple of
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: leagues because it's just has been so inconsistent that I
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: don't even want It's I don't want to look at
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: him on the bench and be like.
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: Maybe like, no, I don't I don't want that. I'm
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: doing the opposite. I'm holding him and I don't start
• 10:59
  Speaker 2: him any week.
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: But I'm too afraid to drop it. I just had
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: to make the move. I'm sorry. Let's get to tight
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: ends though. Start sit at a position that we always
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: are looking for help. Who do you like?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: No surprise here, my guy, Dalton Kincaid must start every week.
• 11:13
  Speaker 2: Kyle Pitts just for the week. I'm not trying to
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: sell you on him anymore. Jake Ferguson I'm very excited
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: about this week as well. A little bit spicy here,
• 11:22
  Speaker 2: but sid Evan Ingram, Juwan Johnson, the Saints use four
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: tight ends last week and then Tyler Higbee that one
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: big game a couple of weeks ago is clearly the blip.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: On the radar for the Rams tight end there. All right,
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk fur delicious, the f to the
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: e RG, the I the e He's been really good for,
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: really impressive, thank you. So is he going to be
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: furgolicious against the Eagles who've been pretty bad against tight
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: ends this year? Yes? Yes, like easily. Yes, not only one.
• 11:51
  Speaker 2: He lost Jamal Adams with the game on the line
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: the other day. But he's been scoring touchdowns pretty consistently,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: a touchdown and more more than twelve fantasy points in
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: four of his last six games. But what I am
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: so excited for. Not only do the Eagles struggle against
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: tight ends, they've allowed the second most yards over the
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: middle right, the middle portion of the field. Jake Ferguson
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: is second on the Cowboys and targets in that portion
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: of the field only Ceedee Lamb has more, and Ceedee
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: Lamb is going to eat just fine this week. I
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: think you start obviously Lamb, I think you could start Ferguson.
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: I think you start Brandon Cooks. Get your Cowboys pass
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: catchers in your lineup, get.
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: Them in your lineup. Maybe not Michael Gallup, but I
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: think pretty much everybody else is in play there for Dallas.
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: All Right, So I know you were caveating it that
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: you know we're not quite as all in on Kyle
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: Pitts as we were early in the season, but the
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: matchup seems right this week for him.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and he had a team high eight targets last week,
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: so that is always encouraging. And like Marcus said, the
• 12:49
  Speaker 2: matchup the Bucks. Since Week nine, they've allowed the third
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: most yards to tight ends. They've allowed a ton of
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: yardage through the air just in general. And I know,
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: like people are asking about Drake London Kyle pitch this week.
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: My thing is the bar for fantasy success is so like,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: if Kyle Pitts and Drake London each gave you nine
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: Fantasy points, you're gonna be like solid day for my
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: tight end, bad day for my wide receiver. So because
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: of that, I'll just take the play in the tight
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: end here. Yeah, tight ends against the Bucks always.
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Feels like sort of a good opportunity right there by
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the way on the side too. I like Kate Otten
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: as a deep sleeper because tight ends against the Falcons
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: also a pretty good opportunity there. We talked about the
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Saints quarterbacks and how you were avoiding all of them
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: throughout time and space. Tight end Juwan Johnson, I will
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: throw this note in there. Taysom Hill has not been
• 13:37
  Speaker 1: at practice all week long. We'll see whether or not
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he plays this week, but either way, you're still not
• 13:42
  Speaker 1: on with Juwan Johnson.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I streamed him last week. He gave me zero fantasy points.
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: I'm I don't know. I don't want to do it again.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: The ceiling isn't that high and the floor is zero,
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: so it's very risky. Last week Jimmy Graham called a touchdown,
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: Foster Moreau had a long catch and run. Taysom Hill's
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: out there doing taste some Hill things, and whether or
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: not he plays, I mean, using three tight ends is
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: bad for fantasy purposes, So especially against the Panthers, which
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: is a game where the Saints probably will have a
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: lead regardless of who is their quarterback.
• 14:13
  Speaker 1: I just I think the.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: Floor is way too risky with Jawan Johnson. That being said,
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: if Taysom Hill suits up for the Saints, you plug
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: him in and you start him as your tight end,
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: he will get a coal line touchdown in this one.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I mean, look, if Taysoon plays, then we're starting Tayson.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: That's all there is to it. Jawan Johnson definitely a
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: lot more volatile if you're just kind of trying to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: stream tight ends. Especially we don't know who the quarterback
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: is going to be too. That's another part of the equation.
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: There still to come. The Kwan Jones stops by to
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: talk some sleepers, plus taking our weekly trip to Club Dub.
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: It's a part of the show where the Kwan Jones
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: gets to come and hang out with us on the
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: couch sporting a pretty snappy Godzilla's ta get that, Let's go.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: Godzilla King of the Monsters is an all time classic,
• 14:59
  Speaker 1: the original ninth Team fifty four Godzilla King of the Monsters.
• 15:02
  Speaker 1: It is a great film. I'm like, I'm not even
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: being ironic here, Like it is a legitimate good film.
• 15:07
  Speaker 1: Go watch it to go check it out. It's a
• 15:11
  Speaker 1: very cautionary tale about the dangers of nuclear power and
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: nuclear testing that sort of thing. Check it out. I mean, yeah,
• 15:20
  Speaker 1: let's get serious about this whole thing. We're talking some
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: sleepers here because this is important. It's week fourteen. People
• 15:24
  Speaker 1: are trying to make the playoffs. We've got two teams
• 15:26
  Speaker 1: on a bye. We got a lot of people hurt.
• 15:28
  Speaker 1: People are looking for sleepers. So we going around the horn.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: We each got a couple of them. LQ, who is
• 15:33
  Speaker 1: your first sleeper for the week.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: I'm rocking with Alex Pierce this week.
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: He had a career high of one hundred receiving yards
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: last week, but only three catches. But he's a guy
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: that can take the top off the defense, stretch the field,
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: and going up against his Bengals defense, this will be
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: a game where you can get the real chunk plays
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: out of him. And you're looking at this Bengals defense also,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: they're gonna allowing the most big plays. And he's lined
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: up out wide, and the Bengals right now are allowing
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: the second most receptions of twenty plus yards that are wide.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Receivers are line up out wide. So I'm looking at
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: this matchup. I'm like, look, I need help. I need
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: a guy in the flex. I think I can look
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: to Alec Pearce to be downfield and get some touchdowns, man,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: And he's closing that gap on Josh Downs in terms
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: of snatch his targets. We're trying to make fetch happen
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: with Josh Downs, and it might not be happening right now.
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, not right now, backseat. I know you like Pierce
• 16:20
  Speaker 1: as well. I do. I do like Pierce as well.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: I think look, I feel like he and down Downs
• 16:24
  Speaker 1: have similar target shares. I want the guy who's gonna
• 16:26
  Speaker 1: get chunk plays. They're they're targeting him downfield Josh Downs,
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: as much as I like his talent, like his average
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: up the target is like three yards. Yeah, I never
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: want my receiver to be catching the ball in the
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: blue line of scrimmage line to still be on the screen. Yeah,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: seems bad, Florida. I'm not going to call you a homer,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: But you do like Gabe Davis this week?
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: I do, and I have been kind of hard on
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: Gabe Davis this year. But we know he is boom
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: or bust, and we know that he is coming off
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: of a big game against an Eagles secondary. He had
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: over sixteen fantasy points against them. But the thing is
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: he comes to play in Arrowhead. In his last two
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: games against the Kansas City Chiefs, he has gone for
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: two hundred and seventy five yards and five touchdown two
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: seventy five and five in two games.
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: Are you kidding me?
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: And then again, the Chiefs offense is going to look
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: great this week, no doubt about that. So if they're
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: putting up points, the Bills are gonna have to put
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: up points and they're gonna have to throw the ball. Yeah.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, Gabe Davis, he kind of is who
• 17:24
  Speaker 1: we thought he goes at this point, right, he's a
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: boomer bust guy. But this is a big game for
• 17:28
  Speaker 1: the Bills, the game potentially high scoring. I think there's
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: an opportunity for gab Davis to be the good Gabe Davis.
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: I guess, say, b Gabe Davis, But you know who
• 17:37
  Speaker 1: knows what that Gabriel Gabe. He might be two different right.
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: When he's really really good, he's Gabe like when he
• 17:43
  Speaker 1: plays Gabriel. Yes, yeah, so I think we can Gabe
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: this week and not Gabriel. I don't know what we
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: call aj Dillon when he's good versus when he's not,
• 17:53
  Speaker 1: But I do think this is a week for him
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: to be pretty good. Aaron Jones did practice on Friday,
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: but there's still some question whether or not he's going
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: to play on that met Live turf against the Giants
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: on Monday night. If he does not go, which seems
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: sort of wise against on that turf there with a
• 18:10
  Speaker 1: knee injury, We're going to see AJ Dillon get a
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: big workload. He's had about sixty five percent of the
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: carries in the recent weeks with no Aaron Jones, and
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: the Giants have been giving up a lot to running
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: backs over the last few weeks. I'm expecting the Packers
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: to have a lead here in this one and that
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: they'll be able to run the football in the second half.
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: You're not looking for efficiency, You're looking for volume, and
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: that's what it is for. As you mentioned, Florida our
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: favorite online farmer.
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: You could play any game online. Why would you play
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: one where you just sit there and watch someone farm.
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: I truly don't get it. I got no answers for
• 18:48
  Speaker 1: him nothing. I really got no answers for you, all right, okud.
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: In Cleveland, Joe Flacco may or may not be the
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: quarterback this week. Kevin Stefanski is being coy about it.
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna say we got Joey instant this week. Yeah,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: throwing the football and his a one bestie going from
• 19:05
  Speaker 1: New York to Cleveland appears to be Elijah Moore. Yeah.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: I like him as a sleeper this week, man, because
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: that connection between him and Pretty Flacco is only going
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: to increase as the season wraps up. So I really
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: like him as a guy that is being utilized last
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: week as an all around wide receiver. He let all
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: wide receivers in Week thirteen in air yards, so with
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: Joe Flacco taking the chances downfield trying to get him involved,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: but the healthy target share as well. He had twelve
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: targets last week. So if Joe Flacco was in the
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: mix this week as a starter, I could see him
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: performing just like last week, but maybe had a highly ceiling.
• 19:37
  Speaker 3: So if you need a wide receiver, he's highly available
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: on the waiver wire as well, so you snag him,
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: put him in plug and play, put some points on
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: the board.
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: Yeah. I know. I've been big on Elijah Moore ever
• 19:47
  Speaker 1: since they added Joe Flacco. They worked well together with
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: the Jets. Last week we saw him get a whole
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: lot of love and even this week. I know, if
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: you saw the video where Elijah Moore snuck into the
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: back of the press scrum, that was like asking him questions. Y,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: so go check it out. But Elijah More, I think
• 20:02
  Speaker 1: I have some high hopes for this week. Actually, Floria,
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: we have gone round and round and round about the
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: Ravens backfield. But Keaton Mitchell, I don't know if he's
• 20:11
  Speaker 1: the new hotness, but he is the dude that we
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: all really like right now.
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and the reason why we like him is because
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: he's explosive like Gus Edwards. Yeah, he'll probably still get
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: those goal one touches, but if any of these Ravens
• 20:23
  Speaker 2: running backs are going to go off and break out
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a big long run or something like that, heat and
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: Mitchell is their best bet. And he led the Ravens
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: backfield in snaps, carries and targets two weeks ago before Thereby,
• 20:35
  Speaker 2: my hope is that, you know, the Ravens used their
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: week off to kind of be like, hey, we need
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: to get this kid more involved. Getting more touches, mak
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: him a bigger part of the offense. If he gets
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: a post bump by I truly believe he has RB
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: one upside in this matchup and moving forward. But even
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: if he doesn't, I think the upside is worth getting
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: him in as maybe an RB two.
• 20:56
  Speaker 1: Or a flex Kho has been better at sort of
• 20:59
  Speaker 1: defying groundvity, right, is it? Keaton Mitchell or is a
• 21:01
  Speaker 1: devon a Chang because both these guys just feel unsustainable,
• 21:05
  Speaker 1: but they both keep doing it.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: Right now, it's probably a chan because that dude is
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: averaging like thirty one points for me.
• 21:11
  Speaker 1: But yeah, both of them, I mean just literally defying gravity.
• 21:16
  Speaker 1: It's amazing. I'm gonna round this out with Jerry Judy
• 21:19
  Speaker 1: going against the Los Angeles Chargers. I get it, man, Like,
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: whatever you feel about him, I mean, he kind of
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: has been a jag this year. He's mostly been just
• 21:29
  Speaker 1: a guy just one touchdown, no real big games. This
• 21:32
  Speaker 1: feels like a chance for him to have one of
• 21:34
  Speaker 1: the biggest games of the year. The Chargers secondary has
• 21:38
  Speaker 1: sort of been a mess most of the season. They
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: have the third most explosive plays allowed. Explosive plays according
• 21:44
  Speaker 1: to nextion Gen stats, being pass plays of sixteen or
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: more air yards. We know Courtland Sutton's going to do
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: his thing because every week he has some sort of
• 21:52
  Speaker 1: ridiculous acrobatic catch. But this could be an opportunity for
• 21:55
  Speaker 1: Jerry Judy to sort of get in on the fun.
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: I do also like Russell Wilson as a sleeper for
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: what it's worth. So I think Jerry Judy finally gets
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: something going his way this week. It has a really
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: decent day against the Chargers. I mean, okay, are we
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: sort of off the overall Jerry Judy bandwagon because I know,
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: a couple of years ago we thought maybe he was
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: going to be a thing.
• 22:15
  Speaker 3: No, I definitely thought he would probably be a guy.
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: But he's starting to look like just a guy, you
• 22:21
  Speaker 3: know what I mean. Like, I'm not too sure what
• 22:23
  Speaker 3: to do with him. In Dynasty as well, Redraft I
• 22:26
  Speaker 3: kind of was like off the bandwagon, kind of fade
• 22:28
  Speaker 3: and kind of wait and see how this offense turns out.
• 22:31
  Speaker 3: But he's kind of just in the mix. He's just
• 22:34
  Speaker 3: there most of the games.
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we know what Steve Smith would say. Yeah, we
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: really know what Steve Smith would say about it. Let's
• 22:39
  Speaker 1: bringing the heat man. Steve Smith like the one guy
• 22:44
  Speaker 1: that I would not get in an altercation with. Here.
• 22:46
  Speaker 1: Every NFL media just don't We're like the same hype,
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: but no time now for cluffs of the guys we
• 22:55
  Speaker 1: guarantee will score you at least twenty five Fantasy points
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: this week, LQ. Who you got? Listen?
• 23:00
  Speaker 3: I got Jamier Gibbs. Any chance I can get to
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: put him in my starting lineup, it would be this week.
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 23:04
  Speaker 3: He's so explosive, and I think the key for the
• 23:07
  Speaker 3: for the Lions to get the win out of this
• 23:09
  Speaker 3: is to put the ball in his hands. We look
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: back at week eleven, he had six receptions, which was
• 23:14
  Speaker 3: second on the team. So how you beat this Bears
• 23:16
  Speaker 3: rush defense is to get him involved in the passing
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: game because the Bears are allowing the third most receptions
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: two running backs this season. And since David Montgomery has
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: come back from injury, his focus has shift more on
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: the ground. So therefore, you get Jamiir Gibbs involved. How
• 23:31
  Speaker 3: he was in week eleven when they got that win,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: and he had twenty one Fantasy points that week, So
• 23:35
  Speaker 3: let's get to twenty five this week. Cash in big
• 23:38
  Speaker 3: this week. Jamiir Gibbs.
• 23:39
  Speaker 1: All right, So Jamiir Gibbs gets the thumbs up? Who
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: you got?
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: Michael Pittman Junior look Alec Pierre's definitely a sleeper, but
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the one that gets this offense going Michael Pittman Junior.
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: Since Week six fourteen or more Fantasy points in every game,
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: routinely goes for over sixteen last week twenty seven point five,
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: week before twenty point seven, he is one of five
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: wide receivers who gets ten or more targets, like in
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: seven or more games this year. The volume, the production,
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: all of that is too good. Plus I don't think
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: enough people are talking about it. The Colts are probably
• 24:12
  Speaker 2: fighting for their playoff life this week. If they lose,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: it is very hard for.
• 24:16
  Speaker 1: Them to get in. So I think Michael Pittman Junior
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: is going to have a big, big game. Definitely like
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: Michael Pittman this week. I mean he has been the
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: strawlitz Sturs, the drink there in the Indianapolis offense. For me,
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: I'm going with the Pride of Freedom High School in Oakley, California.
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: Joseph Tyler Mixon for the Cincinnati Bengals going against those
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: same Indianapolis Colts. And the one thing we have seen
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: over the last few weeks, especially with Jake Browning at quarterback,
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: is that Mixon is very heavily involved in the passing game.
• 24:43
  Speaker 1: We know he's going to get the rushing opportunities. Has
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: one hundred percent of Cincinnati's rushing touchdowns this year. But
• 24:48
  Speaker 1: the fact that he is catching the ball more, I mean,
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: the thing we saw early in the season with no
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: samaj p Ryan, they were getting him involved, but now
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: with a quarterback who's just starting to get comfortable pushing
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: the ball downfield still means you get a whole lot
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: of Joe Mixon. Look, he hasn't had one of those
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: weird spike games where he gets like forty points and
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: then follows it up with like seven the next week.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: He's been you know, twenty to twenty five and then
• 25:11
  Speaker 1: like his low games are like you know, ten to twelve,
• 25:13
  Speaker 1: which I can deal with a little bit more than
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: the super highs and the super lows. I think this
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: is another game though, where you get Joe Mixon over
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: twenty five points and he continues to be a really
• 25:23
  Speaker 1: nice option for you, especially if you drafted him as
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: an RB two. He's given you RB one numbers to you.
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: You called this big game on Monday Night last week,
• 25:31
  Speaker 1: as well. Yeah, I just you know, like I just
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: mostly cause I just didn't believe in anybody else. I
• 25:37
  Speaker 1: shout out to Jake Browning because he looked really, really good.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: He's got that dog in him, and not just because
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: he played for the University of Washington. There it is. Hey,
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: we appreciate you hanging out with us. That'll do it
