- 1:27sign up. All right, let's get into this tier slate. Usually I
- 1:34come on here and I'll break down the quarterback tiers and I'll let you know
- 1:37what stack options they have available. But this week the stacks are not as
- 1:42great. However, we can narrow down our player pools really more than ever
- 1:47with all the players that are gonna be out or just don't have any real
- 1:51motivation. So this week, instead of giving you my quarterback tiers, I'll
- 1:55just hit on each tier and let you know what players we can keep in
- 1:57our player pools, and we should expect to play hard and for a full
- 2:00four quarters. In Tier one, Patrick Mahomes is locked into the number three
- 2:06seeds, so he's out justin fields doesn't have any chance at the playoffs,
- 2:10but the Bears can try to ruin the Packers' chances here, so I do
- 2:14expect him to play, and I am final running him out. I'm find
- 2:17using him naked always because he can get there with his legs. But he
- 2:21does have Dj Moore here in tier six that we can stack with if we
- 2:24want to. And then Dak Prescott is playing for the number two seed,
- 2:30so I expect them to go all out, and he has Cedee Lamb in
- 2:32tier two. He also has Tony Pollard in tier seven great stack options.
- 2:38I'll probably lock in Ceedee Lamb if I'm using Dak Prescott though, and then
- 2:43Jalen Hurts could get the number two seed if he wins and the Cowboys lose,
- 2:47So I do expect him to go out there and play four full quarters.
- 2:52And he has aj Brown in tier two and DeAndre Swift in Tier six,
- 2:59and then in tier two the only one sitting is Kieran Williams, so
- 3:04we can go ahead and ex him out. Aman ros Saint Brown is most
- 3:08likely locked into the number three spot, but their coach did say the starters
- 3:14will be playing, so I'm fine with him. He is just the other
- 3:16motivation spot where he could get pulled if this score gets two wide either way,
- 3:22so I'd worry a little bit there. But these other three are all
- 3:24playing to win, uh, so I like them. And then the third
- 3:30tier is the easiest of them all. This week we have Cooper and Cup
- 3:35They're already out. Puka Nakua needs four receptions and twenty nine yards to break
- 3:42both of those rookie records, so I'm just expecting him to go out there
- 3:46and get four or five catches thirty plus yards get the records. And then
- 3:49get pulled, so I'm not gonna be playing Pooka. So the only two
- 3:53guys that leaves us with is Rashad White and Devanta Adams. I am fine
- 3:58using both of them, but the only one and a must win game is
- 4:00Rashad White. And then in Tier four, I do expect all these guys
- 4:06to play, but Deebo Samuel is locked into the number one seed, so
- 4:12I don't expect him to play much. And then Chase has been banged up
- 4:15a lot of this year, so I don't see any real reason to run
- 4:17him out there for a full game and just risk a reinjury, so I'm
- 4:23probably not gonna play him, hoping that he only gets a little bit of
- 4:26action. And then these other four guys I do expect to play the full
- 4:32games, and Mike Evans is actually two touchdowns away from breaking his own single
- 4:38season Bucks touchdown record, so maybe a little bump up there to Mike Evans.
- 4:43Now over to the quarterback tiers, we have expect Flaco and Stafford are
- 4:46the only ones that I expect to sit anyways. In Tier five, I
- 4:50do expect the others to play, but Jordan Love and Kyler Murray do not
- 4:56have any pass catchers to stack with on tiers. They do both have run
- 5:00backs available. He could stack with him if you want to, but I'm
- 5:02fine just running out quarterbacks naked this week and then what do we have here?
- 5:10Golf? He's in that same squad as a monro Saint Brown probably locked
- 5:13into the number three spot, but he is expected to play, and then
- 5:16Baker Mayfield does need to win. It's a tough matchup to pass on.
- 5:21He's also got the Q tax, so we got to watch that. But
- 5:24if he does play, then I like him and I'll probably lock in a
- 5:27stack with Evans or White, if not both, to be honest with you.
- 5:31In Tier six, Dj Moore is on the same boat as Fields with
- 5:35no playoff hopes, but I am fine stacking those two guys. James Connor
- 5:40had one hundred and thirty three total yards last week and two touchdowns. He
- 5:45has no playoff hopes either, but I do expect him to play. And
- 5:48then DeAndre Swift he's got the illness, but if he plays, then I'm
- 5:53fine with him with or without Hurts in my lineup, to be honest with
- 5:57you, but Ayuk and these Chiefs guys are locked into their playoff spots,
- 6:01so I just won't be using them. I'm gonna exit them out of my
- 6:03lineups even if they do end up playing. And then Tier seven, I
- 6:10have three guys in this tier that I plan on playing, and I would
- 6:13expect to go out there for a win. Tony Pollard needs a win to
- 6:18get the number two spots, so I like him with or without Dak and
- 6:21this is a great matchup. We got Kenneth Walker, they need to win
- 6:28to get in, and this is the nuts matchup. And then Chris o'lave
- 6:31has an outside chance at making the playoffs, but they need to win for
- 6:36that chance to have any shots, so I like him as well. And
- 6:41then I guess b Jon Robinson's on the same boat as Olave, where they
- 6:45have an outside chance too. I just don't trust his role and I hate
- 6:48their coach, so I would rather use the Olave side, and I think
- 6:51that they are the ones that are gonna get the win here. And then
- 6:56the last tier, we have three guys that I'm looking at. Alvin Ridley
- 7:00needs a win and he is going against this pass funnel Titans defense, so
- 7:03I like Ridley. He's also the healthiest wide receiver on the Jags right now,
- 7:08so I like that as well. And then Aaron Jones needs a win
- 7:12to get in, and he's looked great these last two weeks, rushing for
- 7:15two hundred and forty seven total yards and averaging six yards per carry. It's
- 7:19pretty solid, and we can stack him up with love if we want to,
- 7:24and we could just stack up both sides of this ball and just hope
- 7:27for a shootout if we really want. And then the last guy is Zamir
- 7:30White. Jacob should be out again, so I expect Zamir White to get
- 7:34twenty plus touches and he has a great matchup at home here. So White,
- 7:40Jones, and Ridley are my top plays in this one. But that's
- 7:44about it for me. My full playerpool is posted over at ship at nation
