Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Wow, what's up everybody. Welcome to another edition of the
- 0:13Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Football Show. It's me and your man named
- 0:16Speaker 1: g Marcus Grant, joined by Michael f Florio and Lakwan Jones.
- 0:20Speaker 1: I've learned something in the last several minutes before we
- 0:22Speaker 1: started the show today. We have been saying berg Fest
- 0:25Speaker 1: for Wednesday. I've been told via our producer Hythan Kalani.
- 0:29Speaker 2: Now he minij you. He just googled it, which is
- 0:31Speaker 2: something we probably could have done.
- 0:32Speaker 1: Mouch a bird fight right that Apparently the German word
- 0:36Speaker 1: for Wednesday is like midwalk mitwalk, and berg Fest just
- 0:40Speaker 1: means mountain festival. So we've been led astray.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Wow.
- 0:45Speaker 3: All right, thanks chat for saying that in the comments
- 0:48Speaker 3: and making me think that Wednesday is burfast.
- 0:50Speaker 1: At least it wasn't something vulgar that we've been seeing
- 0:52Speaker 1: on air, like mountains I like to think of Germany.
- 0:54Speaker 2: They're just like, why are these guys celebrating the mountains
- 0:58Speaker 2: midle of the week?
- 1:00Speaker 1: Still it anyway, we are gonna be looking ahead to
- 1:04Speaker 1: the weekend here on this show today, we've got your
- 1:07Speaker 1: starts and sits for your playoff semi finals. Well dive
- 1:10Speaker 1: into these Sunday night and Monday night games, plus some
- 1:12Speaker 1: bold predictions, and we're gonna ask cam Wolf if he
- 1:15Speaker 1: thinks the Raiders can crack the Houston Texans defense. But first,
- 1:20Speaker 1: as always, got our starts and sins. You can read
- 1:22Speaker 1: Michael f. Florio's column at NFL dot com slash Start.
- 1:26Speaker 2: Sit getting done at the Anni. Look one more of
- 1:29Speaker 2: them left after this? Right? That's badly, yeah, aadly it's
- 1:34Speaker 2: flown by. Its absolutely flown by.
- 1:35Speaker 1: But let's look at the quarterbacks. Who was on your
- 1:38Speaker 1: start list? Who is on your sit list?
- 1:41Speaker 2: Marcus? I d the article, I quote you, and as
- 1:43Speaker 2: Marcus likes to say, and forget it like he's must started.
- 1:47Speaker 2: He gets the Bengals next week. Great matchup this week.
- 1:50Speaker 2: I really like Jared Goff, who, just like Jamison Williams,
- 1:55Speaker 2: is excelling with Dan Campbell as a play caller. He's
- 1:57Speaker 2: averaging nineteen Fantasy points per game since Campbell has taken
- 2:01Speaker 2: over Jordan Love. Look, I like the matchup. The style
- 2:04Speaker 2: of defense the Bears run is one that is favorable
- 2:06Speaker 2: for Jordan Love and this worked two weeks ago. So
- 2:09Speaker 2: let's running back and then Bryce Young Because as we
- 2:12Speaker 2: as you said last week, Marcus and we talked a
- 2:13Speaker 2: lot about this week, like play people against, play your
- 2:16Speaker 2: quarterbacks against the Bucks, and then the sis Jackson Dart
- 2:20Speaker 2: pains me. But the Vikings have been elite. They've allowed
- 2:23Speaker 2: one passing touchdown since Week ten. Trevor Lawrence just because
- 2:27Speaker 2: of the Broncos matchup, I know he was awesome last
- 2:29Speaker 2: week and then Caleb, Like I have Caleb in the league,
- 2:32Speaker 2: I'm playing Brock Purdy over him. I just don't feel
- 2:35Speaker 2: great about getting Caleb in this week.
- 2:37Speaker 1: In this man, I feel like Caleb is gonna be like,
- 2:39Speaker 1: you won't be terrible, but it's just gonna be kind
- 2:41Speaker 1: of mid. Like you're gonna get fifteen sixteen points. Yeah,
- 2:45Speaker 1: you're not gonna feel great about it, you know. Do
- 2:47Speaker 1: or Dies He me final like you need that twenty burger.
- 2:50Speaker 1: You need something big, right, likes like sixteen. Getting sixteen
- 2:54Speaker 1: points from him in like week twelve be like okay, whatever,
- 2:56Speaker 1: you know, we.
- 2:57Speaker 2: Just move on on to next week. But that's not
- 2:59Speaker 2: the case. That's not no.
- 3:00Speaker 1: It's just not ask you about Bryce Young because he's
- 3:04Speaker 1: been sort of hard to figure out.
- 3:06Speaker 2: But this matchup is just it feels like it's too
- 3:08Speaker 2: good to ignore.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, it's one of those matchups you just hope that
- 3:11Speaker 3: he just goes in. He's locked in. He can go
- 3:13Speaker 3: against a Bucks defense that allow a ton of fantasy
- 3:16Speaker 3: points to the quarterback position. Plus maybe he can get
- 3:19Speaker 3: in and out of the pocket, because we know Bryce
- 3:21Speaker 3: has some wheels. He's like sneaky and being able to
- 3:24Speaker 3: get out of the pocket and get a field.
- 3:25Speaker 2: And you look at the Bucks.
- 3:26Speaker 3: They're allowing the second most rushing yards to the quarterback position,
- 3:29Speaker 3: and hey, everybody in the South is getting a rushing touchdown.
- 3:31Speaker 3: Pannix has one two. I mean, looking at the opportunity,
- 3:35Speaker 3: I think Bryce Young really shows up this week and
- 3:37Speaker 3: really make fantasy and managers love him this way.
- 3:39Speaker 2: Let us love you Bryce, please.
- 3:41Speaker 1: It would have been something if Kirk Cousins had a
- 3:43Speaker 1: rushing touchdown against them.
- 3:44Speaker 3: Yeah, that'd be pretty embarrassing the Bucks, like, come on,
- 3:48Speaker 3: you got Kirk in the end zone. Come on, Shan,
- 3:50Speaker 3: you can't have Kirk Captain Kirk running it up on you.
- 3:53Speaker 2: That's that's no good. He Kirk Cousins definitely cannot run.
- 3:57Speaker 2: What'd you run a five to six? Kirk?
- 4:00Speaker 3: I could definitely beat Kirk Cousins. I could beat Kirk
- 4:02Speaker 3: Cousins and some Cohles Khakis.
- 4:04Speaker 2: I have zero row down.
- 4:05Speaker 1: You like Coles Khakis and church shoes. You can beat
- 4:08Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins.
- 4:09Speaker 2: And that's probably how he shows up to run the
- 4:11Speaker 2: forty as well.
- 4:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, look, let's invite Kirk to the fantasy
- 4:16Speaker 3: what is it called the combo?
- 4:17Speaker 2: There we go.
- 4:18Speaker 3: I think we should get that going very soon to
- 4:20Speaker 3: start doing some invites.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I feel like he's not showing up for that.
- 4:24Speaker 1: That's just my thought. Anyway, Let's go to the running backs.
- 4:27Speaker 1: Who are you starting? Who are you sitting?
- 4:28Speaker 2: This week? Bucky Irving he went for a buck eighty
- 4:31Speaker 2: and both matchups against the Panthers last year and the
- 4:33Speaker 2: Panthers remember early in the year, we were like, it's
- 4:36Speaker 2: not the same old Panther run defense. It's the same
- 4:39Speaker 2: run defense. Rico Dowdell, I know before thereby when Chewba
- 4:44Speaker 2: Hubbard was so involved, they got a little scary. But
- 4:46Speaker 2: Rico was the lead RB again last week. Aaron Jones,
- 4:50Speaker 2: just because the Giants I think are the best matchup
- 4:52Speaker 2: for running backs right now. And then Quinn Shawn Judkins
- 4:55Speaker 2: I'm afraid of him getting game scripted a little bit,
- 4:57Speaker 2: but he's been getting more passes, doing Sam's and being
- 5:00Speaker 2: up in the air is low key huge for Judkins
- 5:03Speaker 2: as well. And then the sis Ashton Genty. I don't
- 5:07Speaker 2: want to trust that Raiders offense if I don't have to.
- 5:10Speaker 2: Tony Pollack's been running really hot, but the Chiefs are
- 5:13Speaker 2: a tough matchup, and then Kareem Hunt if it's not
- 5:16Speaker 2: Rashie Rice or Travis Kelce. I have no interest in
- 5:19Speaker 2: any g Neshtin. Gent's an interesting one. I think heading
- 5:23Speaker 2: toward next year. This year we sort of know what
- 5:24Speaker 2: it's gonna be, right, Yeah.
- 5:26Speaker 1: Next year is gonna be interesting because I think everybody
- 5:28Speaker 1: was way too high on him this year. It feels
- 5:30Speaker 1: like everybody's gonna over correct and go way too low
- 5:33Speaker 1: on him next year.
- 5:35Speaker 2: It also depends on like who's their coach, who's their quarterback.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Guy they add additions to the line. I mean that's
- 5:40Speaker 3: the most important part. And again I like Gino, but
- 5:43Speaker 3: do they have a quarterback next year as well? Like
- 5:45Speaker 3: that's something that we need, I mean talk about best
- 5:47Speaker 3: quarterback they have is an ownership.
- 5:51Speaker 2: Coming out of easier comeback for the final two games,
- 5:53Speaker 2: just for fun.
- 5:55Speaker 1: He's up here talking about like, if Philip Rivers can
- 5:57Speaker 1: do it, I can do it. Lit show us, man,
- 6:00Speaker 1: I don't know, put come it on.
- 6:02Speaker 2: He confidently said he could still be a starter at
- 6:04Speaker 2: forty eight, and I'm not doubting him.
- 6:07Speaker 1: I mean, like you you write checks for a team
- 6:09Speaker 1: with quarterback issues, like if you really feel like you
- 6:12Speaker 1: can be that dude, beat that dude, like you know,
- 6:14Speaker 1: let me see.
- 6:15Speaker 2: He could air it out more than Rivers easily. Oh yeah,
- 6:17Speaker 2: well he got more behind that old line. This raiders
- 6:21Speaker 2: little reason he's not doing it. If they had a
- 6:23Speaker 2: good old line. I think I think Brady would be like,
- 6:25Speaker 2: you know what, I'll suit him up. Why why not I.
- 6:27Speaker 1: Get a couple of drives in if it happens. You know,
- 6:29Speaker 1: people are going to be just insane about brock Bottles.
- 6:32Speaker 2: I guess it's gonna be to the moon.
- 6:35Speaker 1: Anyway, back to the running backs here, Ricodowdell, I don't
- 6:39Speaker 1: really know what you're gonna say, but I feel like
- 6:40Speaker 1: the words snip snapstip snapp are going to be involved
- 6:43Speaker 1: in it.
- 6:43Speaker 3: It could be, but I'm looking at it last week
- 6:45Speaker 3: where like his fantasy day was saved by a first
- 6:48Speaker 3: quarter touchdown, and I think when you look at the
- 6:51Speaker 3: rest of the game those three quarters outside of the
- 6:53Speaker 3: first quarter, it kind of was like Chuba Hubber is
- 6:56Speaker 3: still involved heavily in this backfield, and neither one of
- 6:59Speaker 3: them were served after that, I mean single digit fantasy
- 7:02Speaker 3: points in those three quarters. So I look at this
- 7:04Speaker 3: is where we still don't have the answer if Rico
- 7:07Speaker 3: Dado is going to take majority of these touches and
- 7:09Speaker 3: actually do something fantasy relevant with it. There's rushing touchdown
- 7:13Speaker 3: upside this week against the Bucks, but who's to say
- 7:15Speaker 3: that Tuba doesn't step in and get involved in the
- 7:18Speaker 3: passing game like he's been these last couple of weeks.
- 7:20Speaker 3: Like neither one of them have been great on the
- 7:22Speaker 3: ground efficiency wise. So I'm really really cautious about giving
- 7:26Speaker 3: people advice of saying, yeah, Rico's the majority back back
- 7:29Speaker 3: in that backfield. He's the guy that you can rely
- 7:32Speaker 3: on as in RB two in the past of what
- 7:34Speaker 3: we've seen hit those fantasy highs. So I'm just a
- 7:36Speaker 3: little bit cautious. I'm still side eye in this backfield,
- 7:39Speaker 3: but more so you're just hoping and praying that he
- 7:41Speaker 3: gets in the end zone.
- 7:42Speaker 2: Like he did last week.
- 7:43Speaker 1: This has become a true like hot hand backfield right now, because.
- 7:48Speaker 2: Wasn't it always like that?
- 7:49Speaker 3: Though, Like I feel like that's what it was in
- 7:51Speaker 3: the beginning the season where they were kind of just
- 7:53Speaker 3: sprinkling in Rico and then when Rico kind of took
- 7:56Speaker 3: over the stretch where Rico took over and oh yeah,
- 7:59Speaker 3: of course we remember that stretch. But in the beginning
- 8:01Speaker 3: of the season it was like Cuba is still the guy,
- 8:03Speaker 3: the guy that we drafted, and Rico just came out
- 8:05Speaker 3: of nowhere.
- 8:06Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 8:06Speaker 1: Yeah, but I mean you look at the last couple
- 8:08Speaker 1: of weeks now, like their usage, their carrier, it's all
- 8:11Speaker 1: about the same, and even like the targets are the same.
- 8:14Speaker 1: I remember looking at him like, Okay, well who's guy's
- 8:15Speaker 1: catching the football.
- 8:16Speaker 2: I'm like, well they they both. That is the secret
- 8:19Speaker 2: ingredient because the Bucks have been abysmal all year against
- 8:22Speaker 2: past catching back.
- 8:23Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just like they're both getting about the same
- 8:25Speaker 1: number of targets.
- 8:26Speaker 2: It just really is hard. I wrote Rico as a start,
- 8:29Speaker 2: and then I was also called Chuba's sleeper. I was like,
- 8:31Speaker 2: if you if you're going a little bit deeper, like
- 8:33Speaker 2: in the blurb about Rico, I'm like, you could also
- 8:35Speaker 2: plug in Cuba here, right, Like this is what this is.
- 8:39Speaker 1: When it's not very often when I'm like, okay, we
- 8:41Speaker 1: should just play team positions, like I just, you know,
- 8:43Speaker 1: can I just plug in Panthers running back?
- 8:45Speaker 2: This have a league that does that for kickers of
- 8:47Speaker 2: all kind of like to do it?
- 8:50Speaker 1: How many teams rotate kickers like it's just you're the
- 8:53Speaker 1: kicker for the day. I mean, look, trust me, Niner
- 8:54Speaker 1: fans would have wanted to pun Jake Moody in the
- 8:56Speaker 1: middle of a lot of games, but like that was it.
- 8:58Speaker 1: He was their kicker for the day and you just
- 9:00Speaker 1: dealt with it. Like that's all I know. Anyway, we
- 9:04Speaker 1: got a lot's left to do here on the show,
- 9:06Speaker 1: we're gonna get into the Sunday night game between the
- 9:09Speaker 1: Patriots and the Ravens and figure out which Patriots wide
- 9:13Speaker 1: receiver we might have an interest in. That and a
- 9:15Speaker 1: whole lot more coming up on the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
- 9:22Speaker 2: Time to check out the first.
- 9:23Speaker 1: To score odds for the Sunday night game between the
- 9:25Speaker 1: Patriots and the Ravens. For that one, Dereck Henry with
- 9:29Speaker 1: the best odds guy who's picked it up later in
- 9:31Speaker 1: the season, Travion Henderson following not too far behind, Yeah,
- 9:35Speaker 1: Mark Andrews, and then Zay Flowers, Romandre Stevenson, who just
- 9:39Speaker 1: keeps turning up like a bad penny, can't go away
- 9:41Speaker 1: in an office. He is the fifth of the five
- 9:45Speaker 1: names here on the board. I'll aska you of you guys,
- 9:48Speaker 1: Lakwan started with you. Who is who do you like
- 9:50Speaker 1: the most on that board? Or is there somebody else
- 9:52Speaker 1: maybe Trayvon Henderson. I mean, hands down, we're all fans here.
- 9:55Speaker 1: We want him to take it to the house and
- 9:57Speaker 1: be the first one to put.
- 9:58Speaker 2: Up the board.
- 9:58Speaker 3: I mean, honestly, he's probably going to be a league
- 10:00Speaker 3: winner for a lot of folks. So Trayvon Henderson from
- 10:03Speaker 3: from the forty yard line of his own, you've.
- 10:05Speaker 2: Been seeing Travion all year. I'm guessing your state.
- 10:07Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 10:08Speaker 2: I wasn't wrong either in the beginning of the year.
- 10:10Speaker 2: None of us were wrong. Mike ray Roll and Josh
- 10:12Speaker 2: McDaniel were wrong because he's clearly in the superior back.
- 10:16Speaker 2: Please tell me he's not, says he.
- 10:18Speaker 1: I do love how fantasy folks were like we had
- 10:20Speaker 1: this right, Like, yeah, glad.
- 10:22Speaker 2: You guys caught up. Yeah, exactly, Thanks for catching up
- 10:24Speaker 2: on this one.
- 10:26Speaker 1: Yeah, I think it's Travion, although I'm surprised that Drake
- 10:29Speaker 1: May wasn't on there just.
- 10:31Speaker 2: Because yeah, yeah, you know, and Lamar and Lamar J.
- 10:35Speaker 2: There you have.
- 10:35Speaker 1: You have two mobile quarterbacks. Yeah, one of them showed
- 10:38Speaker 1: up on this list.
- 10:39Speaker 2: So that's just a little bit weird.
- 10:41Speaker 1: As for the game itself, of course, you can see
- 10:43Speaker 1: that Sunday night on the national broadcasting channel laquant. If
- 10:47Speaker 1: you're going to pick one, just one Patriots wide receiver
- 10:50Speaker 1: to start from this game, who would it be?
- 10:52Speaker 2: Can? I? Can? I pick nobody?
- 10:54Speaker 3: Because have you seen the game logs for any of
- 10:56Speaker 3: the wide receivers in the last three weeks? Single digit
- 10:59Speaker 3: Fantasy points for all of them, and it's like you
- 11:01Speaker 3: have Stefan Dick's playing less than fifty percent of snaps.
- 11:04Speaker 3: Why then you have Kayshawn Boody that catches a deep
- 11:07Speaker 3: pass every other.
- 11:07Speaker 2: Game, that's cool.
- 11:08Speaker 3: And then you have Mac Collins leading this wide receiver
- 11:11Speaker 3: room with a thirty two percent target share, doing absolutely
- 11:14Speaker 3: nothing with it in fantasy. And I think the only
- 11:16Speaker 3: pass catcher you can trust is Hunter Henry where he's
- 11:19Speaker 3: been the guy that's been reliable. I know he disappeared
- 11:22Speaker 3: last week, but he's the guy that's been getting the yards.
- 11:24Speaker 3: He's the only one that's averaging more than thirty five
- 11:26Speaker 3: yards per game in the last three weeks. So I
- 11:28Speaker 3: look at this if I have other options I can
- 11:31Speaker 3: pivot to. I do not feel good about any Patriots
- 11:33Speaker 3: wide receiver this week.
- 11:35Speaker 1: I had the Patriots game on last week and Kayshawn
- 11:38Speaker 1: Booty made a play in the announcers said his name,
- 11:40Speaker 1: and my wife happened to be walking by.
- 11:41Speaker 2: She's like, what is that man's name? Also, that catch
- 11:45Speaker 2: hit the turf, they're saying that hit the turf. But
- 11:48Speaker 2: I did love Patriots fans being like, what happened? Where
- 11:50Speaker 2: is Steph Diggs in this big game? Why is he
- 11:52Speaker 2: not out there? And it's like this is what Bills fans?
- 11:56Speaker 2: Oh my god, I love it. I love him. But
- 11:58Speaker 2: he tended to shy away in contact in the games.
- 12:03Speaker 1: Yeah, he was kind of Homer Simpson this sort of thing.
- 12:06Speaker 1: And those games you saw on that list of first
- 12:09Speaker 1: touchdown odds, Mark Andrews made the list last week. A
- 12:14Speaker 1: lot of people be included thought Isaiah likely would be
- 12:16Speaker 1: an interesting start, and he included he got the same
- 12:19Speaker 1: number of targets as all three of us sitting here. Hey,
- 12:22Speaker 1: can you start a Raven side in this week?
- 12:25Speaker 2: Michael? I think it's kind of similar to last week,
- 12:30Speaker 2: but just not as good of a matchup, right, Like,
- 12:32Speaker 2: I think Mark Andrews is the touchdown bet like that
- 12:36Speaker 2: he is always going to bring the higher touchdown chances
- 12:41Speaker 2: of the two of them because that is where he
- 12:43Speaker 2: gets utilized the most. But I know he didn't have
- 12:45Speaker 2: a target last week. I still think Isaiah likely is
- 12:48Speaker 2: in play as a sleeper here because he is more
- 12:52Speaker 2: of the chain mover, the yards guy. The thing about
- 12:56Speaker 2: last week is the Ravens blew them out from the
- 12:59Speaker 2: jump are through twelve passes. I don't think it's it's
- 13:03Speaker 2: fair to be like these guys stink or something like that.
- 13:06Speaker 2: You need chances. Half of those passes went to say
- 13:09Speaker 2: Flowers too, So like, yeah, I think they're not I'm
- 13:13Speaker 2: not like pounding the table like I was a week
- 13:14Speaker 2: ago for them, but I do think they're both in
- 13:16Speaker 2: play as like streaming tight ends.
- 13:18Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just been so weird trying to peg the
- 13:21Speaker 1: the Ravens passing games because you know, either they're low volume,
- 13:25Speaker 1: most of the throwers are going to say Flowers.
- 13:27Speaker 2: I mean you look at his target share.
- 13:29Speaker 1: I mean it's he's well above the target's reception yards,
- 13:32Speaker 1: well above the second place on that scene.
- 13:34Speaker 2: But he doesn't get touchdowns. Makes him annoying. Right, Just
- 13:38Speaker 2: on top of it all, we're dealing with the yearly
- 13:40Speaker 2: Lamar illness, Like every December, like clockwork, this guy gets sick.
- 13:44Speaker 2: I just need your vitamins.
- 13:47Speaker 1: He's a Miami dude in the coal like built, so
- 13:51Speaker 1: we send him some emergency, get him some ginger.
- 13:55Speaker 2: What are you doing? Why?
- 13:56Speaker 1: How does this happen every single year? I mean you
- 13:59Speaker 1: guys surprised that the Ravens are favorites in this game.
- 14:02Speaker 3: No, that is kind of weird though, right because you
- 14:04Speaker 3: have the fake campaign of the MVP race with Drake.
- 14:07Speaker 2: May mean the campaign is real, it is fake anyway,
- 14:11Speaker 2: Look the schedule, like, like I know, we've talked about
- 14:15Speaker 2: it a lot. They're not beating these allegations because you
- 14:18Speaker 2: had the Bengals without Burrow and Chase. Now you're getting
- 14:21Speaker 2: a sick Lamar and then you get Brady Cook and
- 14:23Speaker 2: Quinn Ewers to end this season like everything has just
- 14:27Speaker 2: worked out. It's not the Patriots fault, don't get me wrong,
- 14:29Speaker 2: but I've never seen a schedule break this way for
- 14:31Speaker 2: one team.
- 14:32Speaker 1: Everything is coming up Millhouse for the evand Patriots. Monday
- 14:37Speaker 1: Night football from Indianapolis, the forty nine Ers taking on
- 14:40Speaker 1: the Indianapolis Colts. You can see that game at eight
- 14:43Speaker 1: fifteen pm Eastern on Espen ABCA and Espen de Portas.
- 14:47Speaker 1: The Niners starting to get hot later in the season,
- 14:50Speaker 1: much of the chagrin of Won Lakwan Jones, so we
- 14:53Speaker 1: will ask this question of Michael f Florio instead. Rock
- 14:57Speaker 1: perty has been playing some good football. The Colts still
- 14:59Speaker 1: have been I would say kind of middle of the pack,
- 15:02Speaker 1: maybe a little bit blow average against quarterbacks. Would you
- 15:04Speaker 1: start Rock Purty in this situation?
- 15:06Speaker 2: I am like I have him in the league myself
- 15:09Speaker 2: where I'm playing him over Caleb, like I said, But yeah,
- 15:12Speaker 2: not only is Purty I would say, the healthiest he's
- 15:15Speaker 2: probably been since what Week one? But now he's got
- 15:17Speaker 2: to see him see healthy, and Kittle and Jennings and
- 15:20Speaker 2: pearsall's getting involved and like they really didn't have all
- 15:23Speaker 2: of this cast of characters for much of the year.
- 15:26Speaker 2: On top of that, the Colts, like you said, like
- 15:28Speaker 2: they're not the best matchup, but without Sauce Gardner, they
- 15:32Speaker 2: are definitely a team that can be you could throw against.
- 15:35Speaker 2: So plus Perdy adds a little bit of sneaky value
- 15:38Speaker 2: with his legs, Like he's not gonna run for fifty
- 15:41Speaker 2: or something like that, but he could get you like
- 15:42Speaker 2: twenty rushing yards. So I do like Purty a good amount.
- 15:45Speaker 2: And then he'll do the dougie after he scores a touchdown.
- 15:48Speaker 2: Tool that was clean. Yeah, Con doesn't want to give
- 15:52Speaker 2: it credit, but we know he liked you know he did.
- 15:54Speaker 2: Didn't see it, you know, didn't see it. Yes, yes
- 15:56Speaker 2: you did tasting about it. You are more online than
- 15:59Speaker 2: all of absolutely saw for sure.
- 16:03Speaker 1: On the other side, So I asked you this about
- 16:05Speaker 1: the Patriots, I'll ask you this about the Colts. Pick
- 16:07Speaker 1: one one Colts wide receiver that you would start. I
- 16:10Speaker 1: have one in mind, by the way.
- 16:11Speaker 2: I'm just curious what your thoughts were.
- 16:13Speaker 3: I did too, And like with Rivers last week, I mean,
- 16:15Speaker 3: we didn't see a lot of deep downfield shots, like
- 16:17Speaker 3: so Pittman takes a hit, Josh downs seems to be
- 16:20Speaker 3: his security blanket, Like I know we want Tyler Warren
- 16:22Speaker 3: to be there, but Josh Downs finding the end zone
- 16:24Speaker 3: last week's great. And I said that, you know on
- 16:26Speaker 3: last week's episode that Josh Downs could be a sneaky
- 16:29Speaker 3: fourteen sixteen league Fleck Scott because being that he plays
- 16:32Speaker 3: that underneath and he could be a security blanket for
- 16:34Speaker 3: Rivers where he only had two passes completed over ten
- 16:37Speaker 3: yards last week. So I think that's kind of what
- 16:39Speaker 3: the war of this offense is going to look like.
- 16:41Speaker 3: We're and the ball off the JT check it down,
- 16:44Speaker 3: Where's Josh Downs? I think that's kind of where we're
- 16:46Speaker 3: looking at where Josh Downs ends up being like one
- 16:48Speaker 3: of those guys that you desperately need somebody to put
- 16:51Speaker 3: into your flex.
- 16:52Speaker 2: He could be there on the way to.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Wire for it. Yeah, Josh Downs was the name I
- 16:55Speaker 1: was thinking of. But I also think the ceiling is
- 16:57Speaker 1: going to be kind of limited on him.
- 16:59Speaker 2: Just what you may last week.
- 17:01Speaker 1: I think it's four point four yards per attempt for
- 17:04Speaker 1: Philip Rivers.
- 17:04Speaker 2: That great? Do you think we see all eleven defenders
- 17:07Speaker 2: in front of the sticks, Like that's what I would do,
- 17:10Speaker 2: right I dare you to throw it out? Man, Like
- 17:13Speaker 2: you can't throw it far.
- 17:14Speaker 1: We're gonna try to stop Jonathan Taylor. That's job number one, right,
- 17:17Speaker 1: Slow down, Jonathan Taylor. I don't trust that Philip Rivers
- 17:20Speaker 1: is going to be able to beat me deep right now,
- 17:23Speaker 1: Like you know, I think that's what it is.
- 17:25Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
- 17:25Speaker 1: I think Josh Downs, if there is one, he is
- 17:28Speaker 1: the one I'm gonna see.
- 17:31Speaker 2: They open the window for for Ar Anthony Richardson. I'm excited.
- 17:37Speaker 2: I mean, you've been a fan since day one, so
- 17:40Speaker 2: I know you're really happy I have him. I've stashed
- 17:42Speaker 2: him in the Super Flex League all year, like in
- 17:44Speaker 2: my ir spot, Wow, I lost my homes last week.
- 17:47Speaker 2: I'm using Bryce Dedication. It could line up perfect because
- 17:51Speaker 2: Bryce Young get Seattle next week. I'm like, no, if
- 17:53Speaker 2: AR starts next week, I'm playing them.
- 17:56Speaker 1: The problem for the Colts is like, you're still kind
- 17:59Speaker 1: of in the playoff, and I don't think you want
- 18:01Speaker 1: to showcase Anthony Richardson, right.
- 18:03Speaker 2: Riley Leonard, why is he not there? Well, they're gonna
- 18:06Speaker 2: play Richardson over Leonard. You're gonna play Richardson over. He's
- 18:09Speaker 2: a top five pick.
- 18:09Speaker 1: Yeah, they're gonna play Richard because if nothing else, you
- 18:12Speaker 1: showcase him potentially as trade bait for something else. If
- 18:16Speaker 1: you're done, if you decide you don't want him there,
- 18:18Speaker 1: play him, try to get some good tape out there,
- 18:21Speaker 1: and then see if you can swap him for somebody.
- 18:23Speaker 2: I was talking to a friend of mine who's a
- 18:24Speaker 2: big Notre Dame fan last night, and he was like,
- 18:26Speaker 2: he struggles to throw deep, but unlike Philip Rivers, he
- 18:29Speaker 2: can't get through progressions quickly.
- 18:30Speaker 1: And I was like, okay, designs that, how'd you like
- 18:34Speaker 1: to play missus Lincoln?
- 18:35Speaker 2: Great? All right? There you go with forty nine Ers
- 18:38Speaker 2: and Colts. Back to our starts.
- 18:40Speaker 1: In six four Week sixteen, we got some wide receivers
- 18:45Speaker 1: on tap.
- 18:45Speaker 2: Who do you like this week? Who do you not
- 18:48Speaker 2: like this week? Raci Rice? If he plays, he's in
- 18:51Speaker 2: concussion protocol. They're saying he has a chance. I know
- 18:54Speaker 2: people are worried with no Mahomes, but I think he
- 18:56Speaker 2: is a start if he plays Michael Wilson. I don't
- 19:00Speaker 2: love that Marvin Harrison Junior's back, but I think the
- 19:02Speaker 2: matchup is favorable enough where you ride the hot hand there.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Jamison Williams is an absolute mustart to me. He has
- 19:07Speaker 2: been bawling out since Dan Campbell took over the plays
- 19:10Speaker 2: dk metcalf because the Lions have just been cooked downfield
- 19:14Speaker 2: by wide receivers as of late, the Legion of whom
- 19:17Speaker 2: is what they're calling their secondary. And then Lad McConkie
- 19:20Speaker 2: was my Rashid Rice replacement in the article because he
- 19:24Speaker 2: gets the Cowboys right, Like, that's the only I'm not
- 19:26Speaker 2: telling you like he's been playing great or anything, but
- 19:28Speaker 2: he gets the Cowboys. And then the CITs a Mecca abuka,
- 19:32Speaker 2: not like a must sit, but I have a couple
- 19:34Speaker 2: of spots where I'm looking to get away from him.
- 19:36Speaker 2: That's how I kind of judge it by I look
- 19:38Speaker 2: at my teams, like can I sit this guy? All right? Yeah?
- 19:40Speaker 2: I think I can wandell just because the Vikings have
- 19:43Speaker 2: been elite against receivers. The last time I receiver scored
- 19:46Speaker 2: a touchdown against them was Week nine. And then Michael
- 19:50Speaker 2: Pittman Junior. We just talked about the Colts and Deebo.
- 19:54Speaker 2: It's over for Debo. It was a fun run early
- 19:56Speaker 2: in the year, but when Terry's out there, it's really
- 19:58Speaker 2: hard to get too pas Catchers from Marcus Mariota.
- 20:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I just I don't really see that happening for
- 20:03Speaker 1: Deebo Samuel, so I totally get that one there. I'm
- 20:07Speaker 1: gonna I want to ask you about DK Metcalf because
- 20:09Speaker 1: you had some not nice things to say about him
- 20:11Speaker 1: in our text chat. But but we'll keep that in house. Basically,
- 20:15Speaker 1: my birthday doesn't mean he doesn't like DK, even though
- 20:18Speaker 1: you guys share a birthday. Were Kyle Shanahan and Kyle
- 20:21Speaker 1: Shanahan two guys who made your life miserable in the
- 20:25Speaker 1: I guess the rest at some point. Yeah, exactly what
- 20:27Speaker 1: would you guys talk about if the three of you
- 20:28Speaker 1: went out for dinner?
- 20:29Speaker 4: Oh?
- 20:29Speaker 2: Wow, I don't think you say that on this show.
- 20:32Speaker 2: I want not Safe for work. I think we're allowed
- 20:35Speaker 2: to say those words on this show.
- 20:36Speaker 3: Instead, I'll ask you about Jameson Williams Kyra Williams cousin.
- 20:40Speaker 2: Oh I did not know that? Yeah, first, cause I
- 20:42Speaker 2: won't lie. I found that out last week for the
- 20:44Speaker 2: first time.
- 20:45Speaker 3: I knew that last year, but it wasn't like big news,
- 20:47Speaker 3: so I kind of just like, oh, that's pretty cool.
- 20:49Speaker 2: I learned something new today. You would think Karen would
- 20:51Speaker 2: be faster.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Ye wrong side of the tree, buddy, you have the
- 20:57Speaker 5: fastest guy and then like a pretty speed hereditary necessarily
- 21:02Speaker 5: jameson Williams.
- 21:03Speaker 1: Like we we loved the breakout, it took a while
- 21:06Speaker 1: for it to happen. Does it continue this week?
- 21:09Speaker 2: Yeah?
- 21:09Speaker 3: This is more so of like I'm looking at him,
- 21:11Speaker 3: he could be a wide receiver one this like this
- 21:13Speaker 3: is the production that he's going to get with the
- 21:14Speaker 3: Steelers secondary where there's opportunities there. When we look at
- 21:17Speaker 3: the Steelers secondary, they're allowing the fifth most explosive plays
- 21:21Speaker 3: of fifteen plus yards to wide receivers. And everything that
- 21:24Speaker 3: we have seen from James and Williams these last couple
- 21:26Speaker 3: of weeks have been nothing but speed and explosiveness. So yeah,
- 21:29Speaker 3: Jared Golf is going to have a nice game with
- 21:31Speaker 3: James and Williams. So I see a twenty burger in
- 21:33Speaker 3: the future for him this week.
- 21:35Speaker 1: What I do love about the Lions offense is that
- 21:38Speaker 1: it's pretty much a three person passing game. Right, it's
- 21:42Speaker 1: a'mon ros Saint Brown, it's Jamison Williams, it's Jamier Gibbs.
- 21:46Speaker 1: Like once Sam Laporta went down, you know, like you know,
- 21:49Speaker 1: to stop trying to fool ourselves about Khalif Raymond or
- 21:52Speaker 1: test of those guys, like like, we don't have to
- 21:55Speaker 1: pretend anymore. Man, It's just those three guys. They get
- 21:58Speaker 1: all the targets and we just go on.
- 21:59Speaker 2: I kind of love with Dan Campbell's because he's even
- 22:01Speaker 2: started using Gibbs more and like shining away from Monti
- 22:04Speaker 2: a bit. He's just like, I'm gonna put the ball
- 22:05Speaker 2: in my three best players hands as often as I can.
- 22:08Speaker 1: Sometimes foosball is simple like that, you know, just give
- 22:12Speaker 1: it to your good players. I mean, you can drop
- 22:15Speaker 1: a whole lot of things in the end, you just
- 22:16Speaker 1: get the ball to your best players.
- 22:18Speaker 2: And more often than that, Smith feels by the exact opposite. Oh,
- 22:20Speaker 2: these are your best players as decoys.
- 22:22Speaker 1: I mean Arthur Smith, Sean Payton, all these guys who
- 22:25Speaker 1: just try to like agreeable now, I mean, geez, just
- 22:27Speaker 1: playing four D chess for no real good reason.
- 22:30Speaker 2: I just don't understand it.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Over to the tight ends, which you know is always
- 22:34Speaker 1: a little bit of a dice roll. Who is up
- 22:36Speaker 1: who is down on the tight end position?
- 22:39Speaker 2: For you? I think Kyle Pitts has just become someone
- 22:41Speaker 2: you start with confidence, it's a good matchup. He scored
- 22:43Speaker 2: fifteen or more and three straight. He was the best
- 22:46Speaker 2: tight end of the season in any game last week,
- 22:48Speaker 2: so I think you play him. I'll take the l
- 22:50Speaker 2: on Dallas Goddard last week, but he was kind of
- 22:53Speaker 2: a forgotten man and then all of a sudden, seventeen
- 22:55Speaker 2: targets in the last two. But what makes the specialist
- 22:58Speaker 2: touchdowns and the Commanders have given up a whole bull
- 23:00Speaker 2: to tight ends. And then Darren Waller, I know it's
- 23:02Speaker 2: a quarterback change. I still think he's a streaming option.
- 23:05Speaker 2: There's a little bit more risk now, but the matchup
- 23:07Speaker 2: has him in play. And then the six Tyler Warren.
- 23:10Speaker 2: You were just saying LQ like we wanted to be him,
- 23:13Speaker 2: and they tried like Rivers throwing the ball six times
- 23:15Speaker 2: last week, but it just it hasn't really been there
- 23:18Speaker 2: the last five six weeks now for Warren Colson Loveland,
- 23:21Speaker 2: I will say I believe as of right now, the
- 23:25Speaker 2: Bears have ruled out a Doonsay and Burden. That makes
- 23:28Speaker 2: me like Loveland a whole lot more than I did
- 23:30Speaker 2: when I wrote this up on Monday, Hunter Henry, just
- 23:33Speaker 2: because the Ravens have been tough against tight ends, and
- 23:37Speaker 2: Drake May is gonna spread the ball out and annoy
- 23:39Speaker 2: as fantasy managers. And then aj Barner because I forgot
- 23:42Speaker 2: to take him off the list. He plays on Thursday.
- 23:45Speaker 1: All right, cool, So you know, if you're watching this
- 23:48Speaker 1: in the future, he could be a genius. He could
- 23:50Speaker 1: maybe have egg on his face. Who knows at this point.
- 23:54Speaker 1: But looking at the tight end position, I mean, it's
- 23:56Speaker 1: always sort of a dice roll here, right, I mean, yeah,
- 23:59Speaker 1: Dallas got her, I said, I didn't say the Dallas
- 24:02Speaker 1: got last week. I said he's a beware just because
- 24:07Speaker 1: the Raiders weren't giving up a lot of production to
- 24:09Speaker 1: tight ends. But I also feel like tight ends just
- 24:11Speaker 1: weren't being used against them.
- 24:13Speaker 3: Yeah, that's kind of.
- 24:14Speaker 2: Probably what it was.
- 24:16Speaker 1: So like, are we in for another Dallas Goddard a
- 24:18Speaker 1: week or does the.
- 24:19Speaker 2: Ball go somewhere else?
- 24:20Speaker 3: I think it's on the table just based on what
- 24:22Speaker 3: we've seen the Eagles utilize him in striking distance. That's
- 24:24Speaker 3: really what we care about. Is this tight end going
- 24:26Speaker 3: to give us ten points? Is he going to get
- 24:28Speaker 3: a touchdown? And that's definitely on the table this week
- 24:30Speaker 3: against the Commanders where they're tied for the third most
- 24:33Speaker 3: touchdowns allowed to the tight end position, and we see
- 24:35Speaker 3: this guy when they getting striking distance, they get close,
- 24:37Speaker 3: they're willing to give him a shuffle pass, as.
- 24:39Speaker 2: We see in the b roll right now.
- 24:41Speaker 3: The time was exactly and it's crazy that they're making
- 24:44Speaker 3: him kind of a piece of this offense that we've
- 24:47Speaker 3: seen before before the aj Brown and Devonte Smith bigs
- 24:49Speaker 3: Batman and Little Batman, where Dallas guy is still out
- 24:52Speaker 3: there getting it man in back to back games, we're
- 24:54Speaker 3: getting tight in one production. I don't see why it
- 24:56Speaker 3: changes this week.
- 24:57Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, it's just it was funny because early
- 25:00Speaker 1: in the year, when the whole tush push thing was raging,
- 25:02Speaker 1: like they actually drew up some sort of variations on
- 25:06Speaker 1: the tush push that involved like a little pitch or
- 25:08Speaker 1: a little shovel.
- 25:08Speaker 3: He stole that from the Chiefs, though, like I think
- 25:10Speaker 3: we've seen Travis Kelce do that a ton, so it's
- 25:13Speaker 3: like it's not as flashy or cool.
- 25:15Speaker 1: Everybody steals from everybody. But but I guess my point
- 25:17Speaker 1: is like they kind of went away from it for
- 25:19Speaker 1: a while and now it is back.
- 25:21Speaker 2: Question Mark two of three Eagles can do well each week.
- 25:25Speaker 2: It's just a matter of which, I guess if they
- 25:28Speaker 2: spin a wheel, I think, and they're just praying for Devant.
- 25:30Speaker 1: It is literally I would like Devontae Smith, but it
- 25:33Speaker 1: is like musical chairs and we'll.
- 25:34Speaker 3: Slid from batman to rob at this point, like he
- 25:37Speaker 3: is the sidekick and.
- 25:38Speaker 2: The wheel might land on him this week. Who knows,
- 25:41Speaker 2: he says all the time. The bar for tid and
- 25:42Speaker 2: success is very, very low.
- 25:46Speaker 1: Kind of a weird story that popped up in fantasy
- 25:49Speaker 1: over the past week. Obviously, if you play fantasy football,
- 25:53Speaker 1: you are familiar with these stat correction that you know
- 25:55Speaker 1: every once in a while during the week, uh, the
- 25:58Speaker 1: official score will look at something and and say, you know,
- 26:00Speaker 1: we should tweak that a little bit, and it changes
- 26:02Speaker 1: fantasy scoring. This is one that I have never heard
- 26:05Speaker 1: of before. And this is a tweet from our own
- 26:06Speaker 1: Tom Pelasero. Now an official stack correction that could impact
- 26:10Speaker 1: your fantasy score from months ago. Bears quarterback Caleb Williams
- 26:14Speaker 1: is now officially credited with a fumble, a fumble recovery,
- 26:18Speaker 1: and a rush for zero yards not minus five on
- 26:21Speaker 1: the last play of the third quarter in Week six Wow,
- 26:26Speaker 1: we have gone back ten weeks. Yeah, we're going way
- 26:29Speaker 1: back back into time and we're changing stack corrections. Now, Florio,
- 26:33Speaker 1: you heard from or heard of someone because you asked
- 26:37Speaker 1: the question, did just get somebody out of the play.
- 26:39Speaker 2: I tweeted, I said, does anyone have Caleb lose Week
- 26:42Speaker 2: six by point four or less and missed the playoffs
- 26:44Speaker 2: by one game? Thinking like no one of the and
- 26:48Speaker 2: one person tweeted me and they and they sent screenshots
- 26:51Speaker 2: and they were like I did. They lost Week six
- 26:53Speaker 2: by point three. So now that extra point five gives
- 26:57Speaker 2: him the win, and the team that he beat he
- 26:59Speaker 2: was tied for for the final playoff spot. So what
- 27:03Speaker 2: his league did, and this is where you guys could
- 27:05Speaker 2: rule as well, they put it up to vote. They
- 27:08Speaker 2: voted him the week six. That correction team got the
- 27:11Speaker 2: win in week six, So now he became from eliminated
- 27:15Speaker 2: to the three seed. The team that lost that week
- 27:18Speaker 2: got eliminated. And then they went in and they said,
- 27:20Speaker 2: well the three seed would have played the sixth seed
- 27:22Speaker 2: and he won. So now this manager from this that
- 27:25Speaker 2: correction went from being eliminated to being in the semi finals.
- 27:29Speaker 2: I'm really boosting two teams out of the playoffs, like essentially,
- 27:33Speaker 2: what are we because they were like, well, the six
- 27:35Speaker 2: seeds set his lineup and I think beat what the
- 27:39Speaker 2: original three seed was. They were like, well, we voted
- 27:41Speaker 2: him now to be the three seeds, so how would
- 27:43Speaker 2: that have played out? And he beat the other guys?
- 27:46Speaker 3: So yeah, I can't imagine this happened in my league.
- 27:49Speaker 3: There would be a lot of cursh words, a lot
- 27:51Speaker 3: of just diabolical things being done because week six weeks ago,
- 27:57Speaker 3: second round in.
- 27:58Speaker 2: The playoffs right now?
- 27:59Speaker 1: Yeah, for me, I feel like stat corrections at least
- 28:01Speaker 1: in fantasy. Look what if if the NFL wants to
- 28:03Speaker 1: stack correct or whatever and it put it on the
- 28:05Speaker 1: fine whatever. For fantasy, it should work like a replay challenge,
- 28:10Speaker 1: right like you know, like you see teams rush up
- 28:12Speaker 1: to the line because if you snap the ball then
- 28:14Speaker 1: you just can't replay it anymore if your guy has
- 28:18Speaker 1: played another game, Like if you stack correct within the week, fine, cool, cool.
- 28:22Speaker 1: Once that player has played another game, it's done. You
- 28:28Speaker 1: can't stat correct at that point, you deely can't go
- 28:30Speaker 1: back ten weeks to do this.
- 28:32Speaker 2: I'm curiously who's in charge of this?
- 28:33Speaker 3: That was like, let me go back ten weeks week
- 28:35Speaker 3: six why not let me go back and correct this.
- 28:38Speaker 2: If Tom doesn't tweet that out, none of us catch it,
- 28:40Speaker 2: no one knows, and his league doesn't catch it. And
- 28:43Speaker 2: but Tom tweeted it out and this I do like that.
- 28:46Speaker 2: They let the league vote on it, and it was like,
- 28:49Speaker 2: we're gonna go with the majority decision. Jos was like
- 28:52Speaker 2: insane because I would have been like, no, man, like you,
- 28:55Speaker 2: it's bumped her definitely.
- 28:56Speaker 3: If that was one of if I can tell you
- 28:58Speaker 3: now my home league, this would not be solved at all,
- 29:01Speaker 3: Like it would just be just in the air. We
- 29:02Speaker 3: would just be going back and forth for weeks, maybe
- 29:05Speaker 3: ten weeks.
- 29:06Speaker 2: It'll be over. A butterfly effect. Is great because like
- 29:09Speaker 2: you treat the rest like if you know, each of
- 29:12Speaker 2: these teams probably do something a little bit different thinking
- 29:15Speaker 2: they're in the playoffs. Yeah, yeah, that's that's a wild story.
- 29:19Speaker 1: This is a crazy fake game that we played, for sure,
- 29:22Speaker 1: very stressful, very very stressful. Time for a break, but
- 29:25Speaker 1: when we return, will play either or give you our
- 29:28Speaker 1: Bowl predictions for week sixteen and have our weekly chat
- 29:30Speaker 1: with cam Wolf.
- 29:35Speaker 2: Is a little bit of either or.
- 29:36Speaker 1: I know the last few shows we've been doing the
- 29:38Speaker 1: startle meter, and like I thought about doing that, but
- 29:41Speaker 1: I'm like, let's actually just let's just bring it boiler
- 29:44Speaker 1: down between like two guys, and you know, you have
- 29:47Speaker 1: a choice of which one of these guys you can
- 29:49Speaker 1: start with your playoffs on the line, a chance to
- 29:52Speaker 1: go to the championship week. So Floyda, I will start
- 29:56Speaker 1: with you here Caleb Williams against the Packers, where Joe
- 30:00Speaker 1: Burrow at the Dolphins. Who's been tough on quarterbacks?
- 30:03Speaker 2: They have been, but I'm still going Joe Burrow. We've
- 30:06Speaker 2: spoke a lot about how like Caleb's floors are like
- 30:08Speaker 2: kind of league losing like ten to fifteen fantasy points. Burrow,
- 30:13Speaker 2: I know, is coming off his worst game, but he's
- 30:14Speaker 2: motivated now. So I'm going with Joe b.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Yeah, Joe Beasy for sure, even though he's not really
- 30:20Speaker 3: happy right now what's going on. But I do think
- 30:22Speaker 3: that he can handle Miami. Like we're looking at Miami
- 30:25Speaker 3: that just benched to it. What is the atmosphere right
- 30:27Speaker 3: now in Miami.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Yeah, it's funny because the vibes went from really bad
- 30:31Speaker 1: in Miami it's like kind of good to like it
- 30:33Speaker 1: felt like last week against the Steelers, they just let
- 30:36Speaker 1: go of the rope.
- 30:37Speaker 2: Yeah, like they're like, it's it's done at this point.
- 30:40Speaker 4: Terrible.
- 30:40Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm gon I'm gonna go Joe Burrow here.
- 30:43Speaker 1: You know, Caleb may keep the Bears in it, he's
- 30:45Speaker 1: not gonna necessarily keep my fantasy team in it.
- 30:47Speaker 2: I don't believe Lakwan. I'll start with you on this one.
- 30:50Speaker 2: Your guy RJ.
- 30:51Speaker 1: Harvey against the Jacksonville Jaguars or the guy on the
- 30:54Speaker 1: other side, Travis Etn against the Denver Broncos.
- 30:57Speaker 3: I text you last night like you might as well
- 30:58Speaker 3: just name this segment nasty, because this is a matchup
- 31:01Speaker 3: where you're going against the number one and number two
- 31:03Speaker 3: against the run. Like, You're not gonna really be satisfied
- 31:06Speaker 3: if you're sitting here with either one of these guys.
- 31:08Speaker 3: But I'm gonna go with trams Etn just because he's healthy.
- 31:11Speaker 2: You know, you got r. J.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Harvey that says he's fine, he's dealing with a rib injury.
- 31:14Speaker 3: But traves et In to me just feels like the
- 31:16Speaker 3: safer bay here.
- 31:18Speaker 2: Yeah, I would go with Etn as well, but I
- 31:21Speaker 2: do think Arjie Harvey is also in play. This week,
- 31:23Speaker 2: like he's been getting a lot of volume. They'll throw
- 31:25Speaker 2: in him as a bit too, But I do agree.
- 31:28Speaker 2: I think ETN just feels safer here. Yeah, I'm going
- 31:30Speaker 2: with ETN.
- 31:31Speaker 1: In fact, if you watch this is if you watch
- 31:33Speaker 1: NFL Fantasy Live on Friday, I'm gonna tell you why
- 31:35Speaker 1: you can start.
- 31:37Speaker 2: Travis ETN and feel pretty good about it too. Yeah.
- 31:40Speaker 1: Just doing some research and you kind of come across
- 31:42Speaker 1: things you're like, oh, maybe this isn't as bad as
- 31:44Speaker 1: I thought it would be. So I'd roll with ETN
- 31:46Speaker 1: in that one, all right, Florio zay Flowers against the
- 31:50Speaker 1: Patriots or Chris o'lave who is free of the satchel
- 31:53Speaker 1: of discontent against.
- 31:54Speaker 2: The he's free the New York Jetropolitans. I think both
- 31:58Speaker 2: are in play this week. But if I have to
- 31:59Speaker 2: pick one, I'm gonna go with Chris Olavey because Tyler
- 32:02Speaker 2: Schuck has been playing better ball than he gets credit for.
- 32:04Speaker 2: I know he's an o Lamar Jackson or anything like that,
- 32:07Speaker 2: but the volume just is more funneled through olave Like
- 32:11Speaker 2: there's always a chance that the Ravens just run a
- 32:13Speaker 2: ton and they could get their tight ends involved stuff.
- 32:16Speaker 2: Like that. So, and the Jets have just been getting
- 32:19Speaker 2: absolutely cooked on defense since the trade deadline. I'm gonna
- 32:22Speaker 2: go with love.
- 32:23Speaker 3: Mm hmm, Chris o'lave. I mean, honestly, he gives you
- 32:25Speaker 3: more stability at the position. I think Zay he could
- 32:28Speaker 3: be in play to have a good week, But I
- 32:30Speaker 3: just feel a lot more better about Chris o'lave because,
- 32:32Speaker 3: plus we like Tyler Schuck.
- 32:33Speaker 2: This week gets shucked up. I mean, I agree with
- 32:36Speaker 2: all of that.
- 32:36Speaker 1: Also the fact that the Saints are literally just running
- 32:39Speaker 1: out of people right now. I Devin Neil has been
- 32:42Speaker 1: ruled out, so they're gonna go with some combination probably
- 32:45Speaker 1: of object Estimate and Evan Hall. I guess we don't
- 32:48Speaker 1: really know, at least at this moment, what Alvin Kamara's
- 32:51Speaker 1: availability is going to be. Juwan Johnson has vanished from
- 32:56Speaker 1: the face of the earth. It feels like, uh, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 1: it hurts. It's chrys olama or nothing right at this point.
- 33:02Speaker 1: On offense for the saying, so I would pick him
- 33:06Speaker 1: one last one, and Floyd, I'll ask you this one.
- 33:10Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey at the Tennessee Titans or Tyler Warren against
- 33:13Speaker 1: the forty nine.
- 33:14Speaker 2: Ers Kelsey for me mintually through five passes last week,
- 33:18Speaker 2: but four of them went to Travis kelce and I
- 33:20Speaker 2: think he's gonna come in, especially for she Rice is out.
- 33:23Speaker 2: He might get fifteen targets in this game, just out
- 33:26Speaker 2: of necessity. And Warren, unfortunately, is someone that I'm putting
- 33:30Speaker 2: on a lot of my benches this week.
- 33:32Speaker 3: Yeah, Travis Kelcey for me, at least we can hope
- 33:34Speaker 3: for that. You know, Garner Minshew targets him beyond five
- 33:37Speaker 3: yards like that's kind of just where you're banking on here,
- 33:40Speaker 3: because Tyler Warren, he would need a touchdown to be
- 33:42Speaker 3: anywhere near Fantasy relevant because he doesn't have this have
- 33:46Speaker 3: the yards upside. So gimme Kelsey, I will make that
- 33:48Speaker 3: a sweep.
- 33:49Speaker 2: Go Kelsey as well.
- 33:50Speaker 1: I have a bold prediction that potentially could involve indirectly
- 33:54Speaker 1: Travis Kelcey.
- 33:56Speaker 2: You know, just I don't.
- 33:59Speaker 1: We just talked about the the Colts pass catchers and that,
- 34:01Speaker 1: you know, beyond Josh downs and even that is sort
- 34:04Speaker 1: of limited. There's just nobody there to really get super
- 34:06Speaker 1: excited about in that Colts offense. Don't love that all right,
- 34:11Speaker 1: So you know there's the either ors or as a
- 34:13Speaker 1: lakwan and say nasty work.
- 34:16Speaker 2: Nasty work.
- 34:16Speaker 1: Second, your fantasy Hey, look man like, this is the
- 34:19Speaker 1: real stuff that folks gotta deal with. Man, times are
- 34:21Speaker 1: tough in these fantasy streets. He's a big important decision.
- 34:24Speaker 1: Get ready, it's time to get spicy with our hot
- 34:26Speaker 1: takes for the week. If we're gonna get a little
- 34:28Speaker 1: bit spicy, lakwan, what are we doing?
- 34:30Speaker 3: Oh man, I'm going with cam Ward twenty five plus
- 34:33Speaker 3: fantasy points.
- 34:33Speaker 2: I'm gonna throw in then you probably have two hundred and.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Fifty plus passing yards as well, because I watched all
- 34:38Speaker 3: fifty one drawbacks against Seattle that game where yeah, on purpose,
- 34:42Speaker 3: because I wanted to see how he ended up with
- 34:44Speaker 3: twenty three fantasy points against the Seahawks defense, and also
- 34:47Speaker 3: doing some film, you know, see what the Rams can
- 34:49Speaker 3: get up on with the Seahawks.
- 34:50Speaker 2: But I do think this is a are you Cindy
- 34:53Speaker 2: Sean McVay, like, what is happening here?
- 34:56Speaker 3: I'm doing my best, but I'm just saying cam Ward
- 34:59Speaker 3: he is a guy that has been getting out of
- 35:00Speaker 3: the pocket a lot, and he's looked a lot better
- 35:02Speaker 3: in the.
- 35:02Speaker 2: Last couple of weeks.
- 35:03Speaker 3: So why not throw up a twenty five burger on
- 35:05Speaker 3: the Chiefs defense, who are kind of middle of the
- 35:07Speaker 3: pack as well, where their top ten and yards out
- 35:09Speaker 3: there to catch, and I think with him being able
- 35:11Speaker 3: to extend the place, there's opportunities for his pass catchers
- 35:14Speaker 3: to get up the field. And Chiefs are actually kind
- 35:16Speaker 3: of bad on third down, So for a quarterbacking to
- 35:18Speaker 3: get out of pocket and extend the place, you're seeing
- 35:20Speaker 3: these throws, You're seeing the opportunities. He's going downfield with
- 35:23Speaker 3: nothing to lose. So a twenty five burger for Camboard
- 35:25Speaker 3: this week.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Dude, I love seeing Calvin Ridley in the highlights, like,
- 35:28Speaker 1: that's how far back some of these go.
- 35:30Speaker 2: Look at that? Look at that?
- 35:31Speaker 3: And then the Rams game, man, that was an impressive
- 35:33Speaker 3: throw that he did make.
- 35:34Speaker 1: It was It's not one that you would suggest or
- 35:36Speaker 1: recommend to somebody, but he got away with it exactly.
- 35:39Speaker 3: If you go back and watch all the dropbacks in
- 35:41Speaker 3: he had a ton of those plays where he's just like,
- 35:43Speaker 3: why are you throwing across your body near the sideline
- 35:46Speaker 3: all the way across the field, Like, dude, you got
- 35:47Speaker 3: that off, but don't do that again.
- 35:49Speaker 1: You don't, right, Yeah, Floya's here your whole your bold prediction.
- 35:54Speaker 2: Saquon Barkley's best Fantasy game of the season comes this week,
- 35:58Speaker 2: So it would be thirty four more Fansta points because
- 36:00Speaker 2: he's had one thirty three point game. But I think
- 36:03Speaker 2: this is just a fantastic matchup. Since Week eleven, the
- 36:06Speaker 2: Commanders are top three and explosive run rate and yards
- 36:09Speaker 2: before contact, and that is the big thing. Last year's
- 36:12Speaker 2: Saquon averaged over a full yard more before contact than
- 36:16Speaker 2: he is this season. The Eagles O line isn't creating
- 36:18Speaker 2: the same space that it did, but in this favorable
- 36:21Speaker 2: matchup where he should have room to run, He's going
- 36:23Speaker 2: to hit a couple of home runs. I think not surprising.
- 36:25Speaker 2: I think Saquan is.
- 36:26Speaker 1: In line for a big day against the coming I
- 36:28Speaker 1: think the Eagles offense in general has a big day
- 36:30Speaker 1: against the Commanders this week. For me, So what I
- 36:34Speaker 1: wrote down is different that Gardnerman shoes. What I wrote
- 36:37Speaker 1: down to the Garnerment shoe is going to be a
- 36:39Speaker 1: top ten Fantasy quarterback this week on Fantasy Live. I
- 36:42Speaker 1: was bullied into moving that up to top seven.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Okay, I don't have to ask who.
- 36:47Speaker 1: I got, but no it's not the first of you think,
- 36:49Speaker 1: oh it really is not. No, but I was bullied
- 36:51Speaker 1: into saying top seven. So what I'm gonna say is
- 36:53Speaker 1: if it is top seven, I'm going to pretend like
- 36:56Speaker 1: I took this was completely my idea. That's what I'm
- 36:59Speaker 1: gonna say.
- 37:00Speaker 2: Look, part of it is the Titans.
- 37:03Speaker 1: You know, eight straight games they've allowed at least two
- 37:06Speaker 1: hundred and twenty passing yards from a quarterback. Over those
- 37:09Speaker 1: eight games, they've given up eighteen touchdown passes with just
- 37:11Speaker 1: two interceptions.
- 37:13Speaker 2: So the matchup is in favor of Gardner Minshew.
- 37:16Speaker 1: The other thing that works for Minshew is we've seen
- 37:19Speaker 1: all these backup quarterbacks who've shown up just looking kind
- 37:21Speaker 1: of care free, playing with nothing to lose, playing free
- 37:24Speaker 1: and easy and lose. That's Gardner Minshew's whole thing. It's
- 37:27Speaker 1: always been Gardner Minshew's whole thing. So why can't he
- 37:30Speaker 1: come in here and be a Joe Flacco Jacobe Brissett. Yeah,
- 37:34Speaker 1: at least for a week or two, especially against a
- 37:36Speaker 1: bad defense. So Gardner Minshew, you know, if you're playing DFS,
- 37:40Speaker 1: I wouldn't recommend doing this, and like, you know, to
- 37:42Speaker 1: try to get to your Fantasy Championship week. But if
- 37:45Speaker 1: you're gonna play some daily fantasy or something like that,
- 37:47Speaker 1: then Gardner Minshew is very much in play.
- 37:49Speaker 2: So you go.
- 37:50Speaker 1: Those are our hot Takes, presented by Frank's Red Hot Olk.
- 37:54Speaker 1: He was good to see you in studio later in
- 37:55Speaker 1: the week. We don't usually see you here. You're no
- 37:57Speaker 1: I normally a voice in a box, but we appreciate
- 38:00Speaker 1: you hanging out with Matte Next week, you man time
- 38:04Speaker 1: Ond's again to be joined by our friend in NFL
- 38:07Speaker 1: network reporter Kim. I was gonna say, Caim ward I
- 38:11Speaker 1: was looking at something else. I got all distracted.
- 38:13Speaker 2: Cam Wolfe is the guy who's joining us. You know,
- 38:15Speaker 2: no disrespect to cam Ward, but I've done it the
- 38:18Speaker 2: inverse one time. I'm on a different show. I was
- 38:20Speaker 2: talking about Kim Warden and I was like, again him
- 38:22Speaker 2: wolf and I was like.
- 38:22Speaker 4: Wait, no, I'm sorry, Yeah, I love to I love
- 38:26Speaker 4: that cop number one overall.
- 38:28Speaker 2: Pick.
- 38:28Speaker 4: I know the year hasn't gone as great, but I'll
- 38:30Speaker 4: be cam Ward any day of the week. That's good.
- 38:33Speaker 4: It's a good, good stepping up in life for me.
- 38:35Speaker 1: Not a bad spot to me at all. Let's talk
- 38:39Speaker 1: about some other quarterback situations, because it seems like every
- 38:41Speaker 1: week we talk to you, there's like some quarterback changes, good,
- 38:44Speaker 1: bad whatever. This one afterly not a good one. Patrick
- 38:47Speaker 1: Mahomes unfortunately done for the year after a knee injury.
- 38:51Speaker 1: Chiefs out of the playoffs now have a lot of
- 38:54Speaker 1: questions about this Kansas City team. How different do you
- 38:57Speaker 1: expect this Chief's offense to look next year?
- 39:00Speaker 4: Extremely I think this will be the most extensive overhaul
- 39:04Speaker 4: the Chiefs will have in the Patrick Mahomes era. They
- 39:07Speaker 4: were already trending towards a team that knew they had
- 39:10Speaker 4: to function their offense differently. They've essentially doubled down and
- 39:15Speaker 4: tripled down on wide receivers that haven't really worked out
- 39:18Speaker 4: for the most part, and they've abandoned that running game.
- 39:20Speaker 4: And so because of that, you see Patrick Mahomes having
- 39:23Speaker 4: to be superhero all the time and leads to kind
- 39:26Speaker 4: of the injury that we saw from him last week.
- 39:28Speaker 4: And so I'd expect them to look vastly into running
- 39:33Speaker 4: back upgrades this offseason. They're gonna have to find a
- 39:35Speaker 4: new tight end because it sounds like we're getting closer
- 39:37Speaker 4: and closer to a Travis Kelsey retirement, and then how
- 39:40Speaker 4: do you function a little bit more on time. Seems
- 39:43Speaker 4: like their offense has become backyard football because of Travis
- 39:47Speaker 4: and Patrick's relationship. I think they'll have to go back
- 39:50Speaker 4: and maybe even add an additional coach in the building
- 39:52Speaker 4: to give them a little bit more structure within that offense.
- 39:56Speaker 2: And you cover the Dolphins very closely, obviously a huge
- 40:00Speaker 2: I don't think anyone was shocked that Tua got denched.
- 40:02Speaker 2: I do think people were a little surprised that they're
- 40:04Speaker 2: going with quinn Ewers though, So what do you think
- 40:07Speaker 2: the Dolphins offense with yours at the helm will look like.
- 40:11Speaker 4: I'm waiting to see what the results are. I saw
- 40:14Speaker 4: him in camp and there was, you know, to a
- 40:16Speaker 4: starter for a reason. It wasn't necessarily the best thing
- 40:19Speaker 4: I saw. He's a rookie, seventh round pick. I just
- 40:22Speaker 4: think that it's a smart move if you're gonna bench
- 40:24Speaker 4: to it, to see your young guy, see how he developed,
- 40:27Speaker 4: see what he can do on the field. He did
- 40:28Speaker 4: have a small spurt against Cleveland, as we're seeing here
- 40:32Speaker 4: laden garbage time, he played solid. He's kind of got
- 40:35Speaker 4: a gamer mantra from the coaches here. You know he
- 40:39Speaker 4: didn't always have the best practices, but when they saw
- 40:42Speaker 4: him in the preseason, when they saw him against Cleveland,
- 40:44Speaker 4: they saw him play with a different level of decisiveness.
- 40:46Speaker 4: And the decisive word is really what they're leaning on
- 40:49Speaker 4: because Tua this year just was not pulling the trigger.
- 40:52Speaker 4: He was not the accurate, the anticipation thrower. And so
- 40:55Speaker 4: the hope is they can function this offense a little
- 40:58Speaker 4: bit quicker with the guy who's ready to prove that
- 41:02Speaker 4: he's worthy to be an NFL.
- 41:05Speaker 1: That being said, for a lot of fantasy folks, Darren
- 41:07Speaker 1: Waller has been a nice addition to rosters over the
- 41:10Speaker 1: last few weeks. He doesn't catch the ball a lot,
- 41:12Speaker 1: but when he does, more often than that, it seems
- 41:13Speaker 1: to be a touchdown. Do you think we'll still see
- 41:15Speaker 1: a lot of Darren Waller in the offense with Quinn Ewers.
- 41:18Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 41:18Speaker 4: I think fantasy fans were hoping we waited one more
- 41:21Speaker 4: week for two because he's got a delicious matchup against
- 41:23Speaker 4: this Bengals defense that has like shredded cheese against tight ends.
- 41:28Speaker 4: I don't know a lot because we just don't have
- 41:29Speaker 4: a sample size of Quinn Eewers. Of knowing where his
- 41:33Speaker 4: target points are within the offense. I'd imagine that you
- 41:36Speaker 4: see a big six to six weapon in the red
- 41:38Speaker 4: zone and it's easy whether you're too or quinn Ewers.
- 41:42Speaker 4: But so much of Darren Waller's success has been low
- 41:45Speaker 4: volume red zone touches, and so it's not really predictable.
- 41:49Speaker 4: He goes through games sometimes where he doesn't have a
- 41:52Speaker 4: target for three quarters and then all of a sudden,
- 41:54Speaker 4: he gets five catches in two minutes, including a couple touchdowns.
- 41:57Speaker 4: So it's always going to be a little high risk,
- 41:59Speaker 4: and even more without Tua. But if you're in a
- 42:01Speaker 4: spot that you need the upside for a tight end,
- 42:04Speaker 4: Waller's been excellent for them in the red zone, and
- 42:06Speaker 4: I think he'll certainly be a target again against a
- 42:09Speaker 4: Bengals defense that can't stop a tight end from high school.
- 42:13Speaker 2: It seems like this year, uh, speaking of can't stop
- 42:18Speaker 2: a tight end from high school, it's kind of the
- 42:20Speaker 2: opposite in Vegas. I don't know if they would score
- 42:23Speaker 2: against a high school defense. Do you think? Simple question,
- 42:27Speaker 2: do they score a touchdown against Auston this week?
- 42:30Speaker 4: You know? Inact? In fact, in fact, I'm curious, not
- 42:34Speaker 4: that I would bet, but what the odds are on
- 42:37Speaker 4: whether the Texas defense or the Raiders offense scores more points.
- 42:42Speaker 4: You know, I wouldn't be shocked if it's a Texas defense.
- 42:45Speaker 4: I think that we're just as likely to see a
- 42:48Speaker 4: defensive touchdown than a Raiders offensive touchdown. You know that
- 42:51Speaker 4: if they thought the Eagles were bad last week, wait,
- 42:54Speaker 4: so they still see Will Anderson and Daniel Hunter and
- 42:56Speaker 4: Derek Stingley.
- 42:58Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 42:58Speaker 1: I was gonna say that maybe the Raiders could use
- 43:01Speaker 1: the fact that, you know, they play in Las Vegas
- 43:04Speaker 1: to there.
- 43:04Speaker 2: But like, this game's in Houston.
- 43:06Speaker 4: It's not like, you know, like there's been The Texans
- 43:09Speaker 4: are still looking up in their divisions, so they have
- 43:11Speaker 4: plenty to play for. You can't expect them to just
- 43:14Speaker 4: sleep walk. I don't know, maybe somebody falls asleep and
- 43:17Speaker 4: Brock Bowers sneaks into the end zone. I don't know.
- 43:20Speaker 4: There is just not a lot of hope with this
- 43:22Speaker 4: Raiders team.
- 43:22Speaker 1: I mean, I was just hoping if you're the Raiders,
- 43:24Speaker 1: maybe you can, like, you know, hope that Will Anderson
- 43:27Speaker 1: is out too late at Caesars the night before or
- 43:29Speaker 1: something like that.
- 43:30Speaker 2: But like that's just like I have it. My favorite things, oh,
- 43:34Speaker 2: go ahead, scenarios where it's like if if the Raiders,
- 43:37Speaker 2: if the Texans lose this week, this team could clinch.
- 43:39Speaker 2: It's like, come on, let's.
- 43:42Speaker 4: Maybe when it's thirty three to nothing and you're you're
- 43:45Speaker 4: triding out there for the drive, that's the one that
- 43:46Speaker 4: touch down.
- 43:47Speaker 2: All that's what happened.
- 43:49Speaker 1: Meanwhile, you talk about the the Texans looking up and
- 43:52Speaker 1: trying to win their division, You've got a dogfight going
- 43:55Speaker 1: on in the AFC North between these Steelers and the Ravens.
- 43:59Speaker 2: Who do you think he's up being the division.
- 44:01Speaker 1: Because I feel like that's the only team that's going
- 44:02Speaker 1: to get the playoffs in that division. Who wins that division?
- 44:05Speaker 1: To you?
- 44:05Speaker 4: For sure, most of the year, the answer to me
- 44:08Speaker 4: would have been the Ravens. I thought they were the
- 44:09Speaker 4: more talented team. You've got Lamar, you've got Derrick Henry,
- 44:13Speaker 4: and the Steelers that it seemed like they were combustible,
- 44:15Speaker 4: especially in that middle point of a year. But then
- 44:17Speaker 4: I saw the Steelers. I was there for Monday Night's game,
- 44:19Speaker 4: and I saw a different Steelers team than I saw
- 44:22Speaker 4: for most of the year. Even without TJ.
- 44:24Speaker 2: Watt.
- 44:25Speaker 4: Aaron Rodgers was balling in his pocket, Kenneth Gainwell was unleashed,
- 44:30Speaker 4: and Arthur Smith was so comfortable. He got two tight
- 44:32Speaker 4: ends rushing touchdowns, and the defense started to have a
- 44:36Speaker 4: different energy and spark. And you look at the way
- 44:39Speaker 4: the schedule is set up the Steelers. The Steelers, all
- 44:41Speaker 4: they have to do is win Week EIGHTEAM at home
- 44:43Speaker 4: and they win that division. Doesn't matter what they do
- 44:45Speaker 4: the next two weeks. I think the Steelers win this division.
- 44:47Speaker 4: I think they've got enough on defense. I'm still concerned
- 44:51Speaker 4: by the Ravens offense and this version of Lamar not
- 44:54Speaker 4: looking as explosive, and if you have a close defensive battle,
- 44:58Speaker 4: I just trust the Steelers defen fence and their situational
- 45:01Speaker 4: football more than I do the Ravens.
- 45:04Speaker 2: That Week eighteen game has Game two seventy two written
- 45:07Speaker 2: all over it for sure. Speaking of AFC North, where
- 45:11Speaker 2: are you going to be this week?
- 45:13Speaker 4: I am going up to Cleveland. I have been in
- 45:16Speaker 4: Cleveland a lot more than I thought for the record
- 45:19Speaker 4: they have, but they have interesting people, including you know,
- 45:22Speaker 4: a quarterback in Shador Sanders that's trying to prove that
- 45:25Speaker 4: he can be the guy in twenty twenty six and
- 45:27Speaker 4: Miles Garrett, who is one sack away from tying the
- 45:30Speaker 4: NFL sack record. And then of course they're playing Josh
- 45:33Speaker 4: Allen and the Bills, a team that you know you
- 45:35Speaker 4: can't help, but look around at the AFC and see
- 45:37Speaker 4: no Chiefs, no Bengals, potentially no Ravens, and say, why
- 45:42Speaker 4: isn't this there a year? So I think a real
- 45:44Speaker 4: contender in the Bills, and then the Browns trying to
- 45:48Speaker 4: get a record and see if their quarterback can continue
- 45:51Speaker 4: to keep this job.
- 45:52Speaker 2: All right, I mean, definitely some interesting storylines there. We
- 45:55Speaker 2: know the Cleveland Airport pretty we are familiar to Cleveland Airport.
- 45:58Speaker 2: We've never actually been in the city.
- 46:00Speaker 1: We land, we get our bags, we get our rental car,
- 46:03Speaker 1: we drive the Canton like.
- 46:04Speaker 2: That's kind of the whole of it for us. Absolutely, Ken,
- 46:07Speaker 2: before we let you go. Fantasy team update.
- 46:10Speaker 4: Man, I got beat in one of my leagues.
- 46:13Speaker 2: I was the one seed.
- 46:14Speaker 4: I got beat by a six and eight team that
- 46:17Speaker 4: was the eight seed. The folks in my league are laughing.
- 46:20Speaker 4: They're calling me that we believe warriors. I was thirteen
- 46:23Speaker 4: and one all year and my guys didn't even play well.
- 46:28Speaker 4: I played poorly. He just had an incredible heater he
- 46:31Speaker 4: went off. I think he had Kyle Pitt starting. It's
- 46:35Speaker 4: kind of crazy fluke and so I just got to
- 46:37Speaker 4: tip my hat. But I'm still going in my other
- 46:39Speaker 4: league and hopefully I'll least get one title this year.
- 46:42Speaker 1: It's all you can ask for once you're the playoffs,
- 46:44Speaker 1: sort of like anything can happen. But as long as
- 46:46Speaker 1: you keep playing, then you're good.
- 46:48Speaker 4: I should be mandatory. I just on a three thirteen
- 46:50Speaker 4: and one team has an even shot for the six
- 46:53Speaker 4: and eight team.
- 46:57Speaker 2: You on that one for sure.
- 46:58Speaker 1: I just always appreciate you hanging out with us. Ask
- 47:00Speaker 1: for everybody else. That is it.
- 47:02Speaker 2: We are done.
- 47:02Speaker 1: We appreciate you hanging out with the NFL Fantasy Football Show.
- 47:05Speaker 2: You know the drill.
- 47:06Speaker 1: Tell two friends to tell two friends rate review and remember,
- 47:09Speaker 1: good judgment comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgment.
- 47:13Speaker 1: Be safe to carry yourselves at Joy Week sixteen. We'll
- 47:15Speaker 1: talk to you again on Monday.
