1
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:23,320
Hey everybody, it's Matt 
Harrison and it's the Final 

2
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:27,160
Fantasy Friday of the year. 
We've been so happy to keep 

3
00:00:27,160 --> 00:00:30,800
those Friday vibes going for you
this season and we want to help 

4
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:32,680
you in your championship. 
So let's do this. 

5
00:00:32,680 --> 00:00:35,800
Trevor Jones, you're a little 
bit under the weather, but over 

6
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,160
the weather is your fantasy 
advice as of late. 

7
00:00:38,160 --> 00:00:40,760
How you doing, Trevor? 
What is over the weather? 

8
00:00:41,040 --> 00:00:42,840
I don't know Where's the? 
Where's the? 

9
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:44,560
Line on the weather. 
I don't know. 

10
00:00:45,800 --> 00:00:49,000
Yeah, no, I I am feeling a 
little less than 100%, but hey, 

11
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:50,800
it's late in the season, 
everybody's bagged up so. 

12
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:54,080
I mean, the kids might say that 
your advice has been sick 

13
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:58,320
lately, and that's a good thing.
I guess so, yeah. 

14
00:00:59,160 --> 00:01:02,360
And after serving his one week 
suspension for the show, Anthony

15
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,000
Maggio back to gloat about his 
Bears beating the Packers in a 

16
00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:08,320
heroic game on Saturday last 
week. 

17
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:09,160
How you feeling, Maj. 
I'm. 

18
00:01:09,720 --> 00:01:11,840
Feeling great, man. 
Yeah, that was a that was a hell

19
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:14,400
of a ball game. 
That's I'm not used to seeing 

20
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,720
like multiple things go right 
for a Bears team within the same

21
00:01:18,720 --> 00:01:21,240
game. 
Like that's just, I felt like 

22
00:01:21,240 --> 00:01:23,640
the last time a game like that 
happened might have been like 

23
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,240
the Denny Green let him off the 
hook. 

24
00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:29,120
Arizona Bears game where it's 
like 6 low percentage things 

25
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:32,520
happen to make the Bears win, 
you know, But it was a blast, 

26
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:36,480
man. 
Had had some feelings of almost 

27
00:01:36,480 --> 00:01:38,800
the Minneapolis miracle Ness to 
it. 

28
00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:41,800
Absolutely. 
Yeah, crazy stuff. 

29
00:01:42,920 --> 00:01:45,920
All right, programming note, 
this podcast is being recorded 

30
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,840
on Tuesday. 
We're giving you the best 

31
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:52,120
possible information with what 
we have right now. 

32
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:56,520
If you're listening on Friday or
Saturday and looking for the 

33
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,040
pair of Saturday game previews, 
Kent Wyrock and I did a 

34
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:05,400
Christmas Plus Saturday preview 
of those five games earlier this

35
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:07,400
week. 
Feel free to grab that episode 

36
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:11,560
and listen to that. 
We've got 11 more games today to

37
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:13,440
get to, so let's not delay too 
much. 

38
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,000
But I'll remind you that we'll 
give you 9 players on whom you 

39
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,240
can roll the dice and we'll see 
if our panel of experts will be 

40
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:24,200
able to solve my 2 tough nuts to
crack the very end of the show 

41
00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:26,520
and abbreviated lightning round 
today. 

42
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:29,840
But I wanted to say if we've 
helped you out this year, give 

43
00:02:29,840 --> 00:02:33,680
us a great rating review on 
Spotify, Apple Podcast, I Heart,

44
00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,600
or YouTube. 
And Fantasy Football Almost 

45
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:39,760
Daily won't completely end with 
this episode. 

46
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,640
We'll have the DFS pod Trevor 
and I are going to do through 

47
00:02:43,640 --> 00:02:45,840
the playoffs. 
And we'll also have some other 

48
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,080
special guests who will be 
joining ahead of the NFL 

49
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:51,080
playoffs. 
There might be 1 Greg Ambrosius 

50
00:02:51,080 --> 00:02:54,080
from NFFC joining us. 
Who knows? 

51
00:02:54,080 --> 00:02:57,280
Maybe we'll even drink whiskey 
again on Fantasy Football Almost

52
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:58,960
Daily. 
Trevor, do you remember that 

53
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:00,880
from back in the old days? 
Yeah. 

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,280
Probably like what, 6 years ago 
with Dalton Wade maybe? 

55
00:03:03,880 --> 00:03:06,320
No, we just drank whiskey in the
office at the. 

56
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,680
She's not talking about any show
or anything, he's just talking 

57
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,800
about going to work and 
drinking, which by the way, I'd 

58
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:14,720
like to be invited for whenever 
this is happening. 

59
00:03:15,240 --> 00:03:18,480
Yeah, Sam Brimicombe was the 
whiskey commissioner and we did 

60
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:23,000
a whiskey tournament that was 
that was pretty good times. 

61
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,560
Hey, maybe we'll do that in the 
offseason. 

62
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:26,040
Whiskey tournaments are pretty 
fun. 

63
00:03:26,760 --> 00:03:28,320
Yeah. 
All right, let's jump into the 

64
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:29,920
matchups. 
Trevor, we're going to start 

65
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:33,440
with the highest over under game
on the slate this week. 

66
00:03:33,440 --> 00:03:34,960
That's the Cardinals and 
Bengals. 

67
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,840
Both offenses can move the ball.
Both defenses are brutal. 

68
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:41,720
It should be pretty decent 
weather in Cincy this Sunday. 

69
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,240
Are we basically firing up every
Cardinal and Bengal we have? 

70
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,440
Yeah, it's pretty close to the 
Yukon. 

71
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:49,280
Cornelius Silvers and golds 
throughout. 

72
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,960
We'll start with the fridge with
gold. 

73
00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:56,920
Gold, gold and silver, Silver 
and gold. 

74
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:00,320
I'm sure I'll be seeing Mr. 
Cornelius on my television here 

75
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:02,080
in the next few days. 
Looking forward to that. 

76
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:04,720
We'll start with the best spot 
in the whole game in the whole 

77
00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:07,960
world, Maybe Trey McBride 
against the Cincinnati Bengals 

78
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,160
defense. 
What else is there to say? 

79
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:14,080
McBride outpaces all their tight
ends by 29 catches, 244 yards, 

80
00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:16,399
tied for the leading touchdowns,
and now gets the worst tight end

81
00:04:16,399 --> 00:04:18,000
defense of all time. 
That's it. 

82
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:20,399
Jacobi percent. 
He's alive with a silver. 

83
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:22,960
Last week was his first non 20 
point game of the year. 

84
00:04:23,640 --> 00:04:26,120
First time he failed to reach 40
pass attempts since week 9. 

85
00:04:26,680 --> 00:04:29,240
I do expect him to bounce back 
here since he's bottom 5 in both

86
00:04:29,240 --> 00:04:30,880
passing yards and touchdowns 
allowed. 

87
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,320
Even Quinn Ewers went for 260 
yards at his first start against

88
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,800
the Bengals. 
If we like percent, we also like

89
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,440
Michael Wilson. 
He's got a Silver as well. 

90
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:41,680
Everyone bashes Cincinnati V the
running back in the tight end, 

91
00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:43,920
so their numbers against 
receivers are actually pretty 

92
00:04:43,920 --> 00:04:45,600
good. 
They've committed just the third

93
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:48,400
fewest catches, yards and 
touchdowns to enemy wide outs. 

94
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:50,600
However, Wilson's got a 
touchdown in three straight 

95
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:53,480
games, even with Marvin Harrison
returning to the lineup last 

96
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,920
week. 
Speaking of Marv, he had just 

97
00:04:55,920 --> 00:04:57,480
three targets in his first game 
back. 

98
00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,080
He solidly third in the pecking 
order now. 

99
00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:01,440
Keep him on the bench, on the 
ground. 

100
00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,360
We will keep Michael Carter 
alive with bronze. 

101
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:04,960
He was a little disappointing 
last week. 

102
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:07,640
He had just 11 touches. 
However, that was the lead role 

103
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,360
among Cardinals backs. 
That was as many as the rest of 

104
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,760
the running backs had combined. 
It's a dream match up for Carter

105
00:05:13,760 --> 00:05:16,680
as well, since he's given up the
most rushing yards and the 

106
00:05:16,680 --> 00:05:18,400
second most receiving yards to 
opposing backs. 

107
00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,120
So we're keeping Carter alive 
this week. 

108
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:23,360
None of the Bengals. 
It's a lot more gold here. 

109
00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:27,240
Joe Burrow Gold 4 touchdowns in 
two of the past three games. 

110
00:05:27,240 --> 00:05:30,000
Now gets a Cardinals defense 
that's permitted at least 40 

111
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,120
points in half of their eight 
games since the bye. 

112
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Nominated throughout last week 
since he had nine more pass 

113
00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,880
attempts than rushing attempts 
in a 24 point win. 

114
00:05:38,520 --> 00:05:41,000
Bengals are still playing hard. 
Maybe for Zach Taylor's job next

115
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:42,920
year. 
Tomorrow, Chase is not obvious 

116
00:05:42,920 --> 00:05:44,600
gold. 
I will just say Arizona ranks 

117
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:46,200
top half of the league against 
enemy whiteouts. 

118
00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,560
But we're starting to see 
Higgins. 

119
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,880
Is it Shibuichi? 
Am I saying that correct? 

120
00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,280
Yeah, you got it. 
OK. 

121
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:55,600
We'll give T the Shibuichi, he 
only got my targets last week. 

122
00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:59,040
Chase is 11, only 63% of the 
snaps as well, which was his 

123
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:01,960
lowest angles. 
Week 10 by Arizona hasn't 

124
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:04,800
allowed more than 30 yards to a 
wide receiver two since Week 15,

125
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:06,160
and that includes a game against
ramp. 

126
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:09,880
Still, the game environment and 
T just being a beast keep them 

127
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:12,400
starting and then Chase Brown, 
I'm getting a gold too as well. 

128
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:14,760
It's a prime match up against 
the Cardinals, who are bottom 

129
00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:17,880
five that touches, yards and 
touchdowns allowed to enemy 

130
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,520
backs. 
And actually Chase Brown has 

131
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:21,680
eight straight games with at 
least 16 PPR points. 

132
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:23,800
So it's a great floor play and 
there's a real ceiling here too.

133
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,240
Yeah, I in in DFS, I've got this
massive mega Cardinals Bengals 

134
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:33,520
stack ready to go for this this 
weekend's thing. 

135
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:36,480
So I'm I'm pretty excited about 
that game, Maj. 

136
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:39,800
We'll move on to the opposite of
that game. 

137
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:43,320
The lowest over under of the 
week, 34 1/2. 

138
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:46,040
It's the Steelers heading to 
Cleveland on Sunday. 

139
00:06:46,280 --> 00:06:50,240
They'll be doing so likely 
without DK Metcalf, who got a 

140
00:06:50,240 --> 00:06:53,040
two game suspension. 
He's appealing it right now. 

141
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:57,320
But with Metcalf maybe out, is 
there any part of the Steelers 

142
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,240
passing game that you can play 
in this one? 

143
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:02,840
Passing game? 
No, in fact that over under 

144
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:05,880
dropped to half point with that 
DK news. 

145
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:09,320
So it's 34 the last. 
I was actually just updating 

146
00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:14,040
that while Trevor was talking 
and it's supposed to be 49 and 

147
00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:17,720
rainy on Sunday. 
I mean that we're, by the way, 

148
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:21,080
we are, like you said, recording
this on Tuesday, December 23rd, 

149
00:07:21,080 --> 00:07:23,520
but it's already past Christmas 
for everybody listening. 

150
00:07:23,520 --> 00:07:26,080
So hope you had a wonderful 
holiday and check those weather 

151
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:30,720
reports because the Tuesday 
weather, not the Tuesday report 

152
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:33,160
for the Sunday weather is not 
typically all that accurate. 

153
00:07:33,200 --> 00:07:36,680
But yeah, so that puts the 
Steelers implied team total at 

154
00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:39,680
18.75. 
Not great Bob. 

155
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,880
So I'm going to have Aaron 
Rodgers on the bench in this 

156
00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,680
one. 
He did go for 2:35 and 2:00 in 

157
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:48,920
Week 6 at home against Cleveland
on the road against this really 

158
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,200
tough pass defense though 
without DK Metcalf most likely 

159
00:07:53,120 --> 00:07:54,560
you know that's just not not 
enough. 

160
00:07:54,560 --> 00:07:58,560
So if DK, did you know, if that,
like you said, he's appealing, 

161
00:07:58,560 --> 00:08:01,840
if for some reason that gets, 
you know, things get changed or 

162
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:03,880
pushed down there, Ken gets 
kicked down the road. 

163
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,280
I think you could put a bronze 
on DK. 

164
00:08:07,280 --> 00:08:10,560
He had a 495 and one against the
bronze in Pittsburgh Week 6, but

165
00:08:10,840 --> 00:08:14,800
just two scores and one game 
over 55 yards since then. 

166
00:08:16,680 --> 00:08:18,600
Calvin Austin, the third, 
actually left last week's game 

167
00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:20,800
with a hamstring injury, too. 
So you've got Adam Thielen, 

168
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,040
Marquez Valdez Scanling and 
Scotty Miller is sort of the 

169
00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:25,720
last men standing. 
But not none of those guys are 

170
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:29,240
getting enough work in in a way 
that we could be confident one 

171
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:31,760
would, you know, sort of rise 
above the others. 

172
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,000
So yeah, just benching those 
guys. 

173
00:08:34,200 --> 00:08:36,360
Same with the tight ends, 
Darnell Washington leading them 

174
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:39,320
comfortably in snapshare but 
hasn't top 4 targets in the game

175
00:08:39,320 --> 00:08:42,919
since Week 11. 
So some somebody might have some

176
00:08:42,919 --> 00:08:45,200
numbers, but it's going to be 
impossible to figure that one 

177
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,600
out, so stay away. 
Jalen Warren, though, will get a

178
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,240
silver floor's lower than you'd 
like, splitting work with Kenny 

179
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:53,120
Gainwell and a decreased target 
share as a result. 

180
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:56,480
But he's only got 1 dud all Year
5 scores in his last five games 

181
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:59,000
combined. 
His early down share last week 

182
00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:01,200
dropped into the low fifties, 
but his third down snaps 

183
00:09:01,200 --> 00:09:04,360
actually creeped up for 50%, 
while Gainwell's getting most of

184
00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:07,120
the two-minute looks. 
So with Gainwell, he's going to 

185
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:10,240
be a bronze for me, but those 
guys are pretty close, you know,

186
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,320
Warren and Gainwell. 
Gainwell's now got three 

187
00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,480
straight games with 7 targets 
and he's got 9 or more carries 4

188
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:19,080
times in his last six. 
So in APPR setting, he does 

189
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,440
actually have a little maybe 
higher floor than Warren does 

190
00:09:21,440 --> 00:09:24,760
because of those catches, but 
only two touchdowns for him here

191
00:09:25,080 --> 00:09:29,120
in the last five weeks. 
On the Brown side, implied team 

192
00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:32,080
total of 15 and a quarter. 
Again, not great. 

193
00:09:33,360 --> 00:09:35,040
Given that this is championship 
week. 

194
00:09:35,040 --> 00:09:37,760
Let's we can make this quick. 
You're benching all Browns 

195
00:09:37,760 --> 00:09:40,680
except for Harold Fannon. 
If in Joku's out again with 

196
00:09:40,680 --> 00:09:43,160
injury, Fannon's gold. 
He's got 3 touchdowns in his 

197
00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,880
last four games, 5 or more 
targets in 10 straight. 

198
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:49,000
Now, if in Joku's back, it only 
takes a little shine off that 

199
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,440
gold, maybe drops him down to a 
silver. 

200
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:54,440
But you got Shudura on the bench
and the Steelers have allowed 

201
00:09:54,440 --> 00:09:58,280
the fewest combined running back
touchdowns to just 7 all season.

202
00:09:58,280 --> 00:10:01,240
And with Quinch on Judkins 
broken leg, now you've got 

203
00:10:01,240 --> 00:10:04,280
either Raheem Sanders and 
Trayvon Williams split or a 

204
00:10:04,280 --> 00:10:06,800
three-way, including Dylan 
Sampson if he's back from 

205
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,520
injury. 
And a holiday three-way in 

206
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:10,920
Cleveland sounds like the 
absolute worst kind of seasonal 

207
00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:12,840
adult film, so we'll just let 
all that go. 

208
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:17,560
There are seasonal adult films 
that. 

209
00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:24,840
Don't act like you don't know. 
Let's take a quick break and 

210
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:28,160
view this seasonal adult film. 
The National Fantasy Football 

211
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:31,280
and Basketball Championships 
have a huge holiday bonus on the

212
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:34,200
line this Christmas Day. 
The NFL Christmas Day Bonanza 

213
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:38,880
has a 40K prize pool with 7500 
bucks to 1st and the NBA 

214
00:10:38,880 --> 00:10:42,400
Christmas Day Jam has over 8000 
in prizes with 5K to 1st. 

215
00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,000
Both contests are just $100.

and thenbajam@playnfbkc.com/jam.

217
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,440
Was I wrong that that was 
seasonal and also meant for 

218
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,160
adults? 
Yeah, no, you hit the nail on 

219
00:11:03,160 --> 00:11:05,600
the head there. 
By the way, I am wearing my 

220
00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:09,120
Trading Places Christmas T-shirt
today. 

221
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:10,200
I don't know if you noticed 
that. 

222
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:14,200
Oh, still haven't seen it so. 
Well, you've got hopefully by 

223
00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:21,600
the time this show airs, you. 
Will all right, you can find me 

224
00:11:21,600 --> 00:11:24,560
on Twitter. 
Matt Harrison at explosive 

225
00:11:24,560 --> 00:11:27,000
output. 
Trevor's at T Jones 5 Maj. 

226
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:32,440
Is at No Comagio on Blue Sky, 
and it's time for a little 

227
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,800
segment that we like to call 
Roll the Dice. 

228
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:43,880
It's now time to roll the dice. 
These are 9 players that might 

229
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:47,760
not normally be in your starting
line up, but you could roll the 

230
00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:50,720
dice on them here in your 
Fantasy Championship week. 

231
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,760
Some of them we can say we we 
put a guy in each of these 

232
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:57,960
positions, but some of them like
my. 

233
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:01,360
Quarterback, for instance, I 
don't think I would start, but 

234
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:04,840
Trevor, you would go ahead and 
tell me who your quarterback is.

235
00:12:05,160 --> 00:12:07,600
Yeah, well, we'll start with 
Tyler Shuck against Tennessee. 

236
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,080
And Shucks, first three starts, 
the Saints played it pretty 

237
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,080
conservatively. 
He only averaged 27 pass 

238
00:12:12,080 --> 00:12:14,440
attempts per game. 
However, over the last five, 

239
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,560
Shucks got over 36 attempts per 
game. 

240
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:19,800
And that's Daniels has 30 
rushing attempts for 135 yards 

241
00:12:19,800 --> 00:12:22,120
and two scores. 
It's a solid match up against 

242
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:24,200
Titans bottom 10 and past yards 
allowed. 

243
00:12:24,720 --> 00:12:27,400
And if the 0 interception Jets 
didn't exist, it would be the 

244
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:29,360
Titans in last with just three 
picks all season. 

245
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:31,520
And like I said, New Orleans is 
absolutely still playing hard. 

246
00:12:31,520 --> 00:12:32,840
They've actually won three 
straight games. 

247
00:12:32,840 --> 00:12:36,600
So, Tyler Schock, roll the dice.
All right, Maj., you got a 

248
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:38,440
quarterback that we can roll the
dice on. 

249
00:12:39,480 --> 00:12:43,440
I'll go with Kirk Cousins here. 
He's gotten into the group the 

250
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:46,120
last couple of weeks on the road
with a 5 to 1 touchdown 

251
00:12:46,120 --> 00:12:47,960
interception ratio. 
Now he comes home. 

252
00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:51,280
Where oddly enough, he has no 
touchdowns in two interceptions 

253
00:12:51,280 --> 00:12:54,240
in three games this season. 
But he did just get Drake London

254
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:57,560
back last week and and he's 
going to have to throw to keep 

255
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,360
up in this game where they are, 
I think 8 1/2 point underdogs at

256
00:13:00,360 --> 00:13:02,680
this point. 
So go ahead and roll those dice 

257
00:13:02,680 --> 00:13:06,080
on Kirk Cousins. 
I don't feel that great about 

258
00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:09,760
Bryce Young at home against 
Seattle, but I will note he's 

259
00:13:09,760 --> 00:13:13,240
playing well at home and he's 
playing well at home against 

260
00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,120
good teams. 
He's at home games against the 

261
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,280
Rams and the Bucks in the last 
three weeks. 

262
00:13:18,280 --> 00:13:20,440
Both were leading their 
divisions at the time. 

263
00:13:20,840 --> 00:13:22,840
He had three touchdown passes 
against the Rams. 

264
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:26,200
He had two against the Bucks. 
All of his multi touchdown games

265
00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:29,400
this year have either been at 
home or indoors. 

266
00:13:29,840 --> 00:13:32,240
Seattle is coming to town as 
division leaders. 

267
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:36,600
Yes, Seattle's defense is tough,
but they did give up 457 yards 

268
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:40,680
and three touchdowns to Matthew 
Stafford last week and multiple 

269
00:13:40,680 --> 00:13:44,520
touchdown passes to Stafford 
again, Brissett, Lawrence, 

270
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:49,320
Mayfield, Kyler and Purdy. 
And Seattle's beat up on Philip 

271
00:13:49,320 --> 00:13:51,600
Rivers, Kirk Cousins, Max 
Brosmer. 

272
00:13:52,480 --> 00:13:55,840
I hope Bryce is a little bit 
more of Column A than Column B, 

273
00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:57,680
and then maybe he's super 
flexworthy. 

274
00:13:59,120 --> 00:14:01,240
All right, running back 
position, Trevor, who you got? 

275
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,760
Yeah, we'll stick in that same 
Saints game with Tony Pollard 

276
00:14:05,320 --> 00:14:07,320
home against the Saints there. 
The Titans have committed 

277
00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:09,560
heavily to Tony Pollard over the
last three games. 

278
00:14:09,560 --> 00:14:12,320
He's getting over 20 touches per
in those, and the efficiency's 

279
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:14,440
been good as well. 
He's cleared 100 rushing yards 

280
00:14:14,440 --> 00:14:16,520
in three straight. 
The New Orleans is just the 

281
00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:19,040
middle of the pack match up. 
They have allowed the 7th most 

282
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,400
rushing yards and the third most
touches to the position. 

283
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:23,480
So again, Pollard's getting 
loaded up with work. 

284
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:26,240
There's work to be had. 
Tennessee's just a 2 1/2 point 

285
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,640
home dog in this one, so it 
should keep the game script a 

286
00:14:28,640 --> 00:14:32,040
little bit tilted in favor of 
Tony Pollard over Ty J Spears, 

287
00:14:32,040 --> 00:14:33,120
who's more of a passing game 
back. 

288
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:37,640
All right, Maj. 
A running back that maybe we can

289
00:14:37,640 --> 00:14:40,480
use this week I'm. 
Going to go with Blake Korum in 

290
00:14:40,480 --> 00:14:42,200
this one. 
He's got double digit carries in

291
00:14:42,200 --> 00:14:44,920
three straight games and at 
least one touchdown and four 

292
00:14:44,920 --> 00:14:47,320
straight. 
So even though he's not really 

293
00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:51,960
getting any passing down work, 
he's involved enough that in a 

294
00:14:51,960 --> 00:14:56,520
match up like this one on the 
road at Atlanta indoors and as a

295
00:14:56,520 --> 00:15:00,320
heavy favorite, like I said, 8 
1/2 points in that one, I just 

296
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:03,880
expect he's going to continue to
get more than enough work to pay

297
00:15:03,880 --> 00:15:07,440
off here. 
All right, my running back is 

298
00:15:07,440 --> 00:15:10,680
Ramandre Stevenson and I, I 
really do think you can use him.

299
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,440
Trayvon Henderson is in the 
concussion protocol and it would

300
00:15:13,440 --> 00:15:18,400
seem insane that the Patriots 
would rush him back to beat The 

301
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,520
Jets. 
Now. 

302
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:22,040
They don't need that. 
So it's probably Stevenson in a 

303
00:15:22,040 --> 00:15:25,400
lead back role, and he's been 
really good in a relief role in 

304
00:15:25,400 --> 00:15:29,320
the last two weeks. 
A combined 14 carries for 101 

305
00:15:29,320 --> 00:15:33,240
yards in a score, plus 5 catches
and 54 yards in two weeks 

306
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:36,800
combined. 
But that was with less than 50% 

307
00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:39,840
of the snap share. 
So put that all together, you 

308
00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:42,240
got a full complete game against
The Jets. 

309
00:15:42,520 --> 00:15:45,200
And The Jets have allowed the 
most touchdowns to running backs

310
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,600
in the league this year. 23 so 
far. 

311
00:15:47,880 --> 00:15:51,120
So if you've been holding on to 
Romandre for a long time waiting

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,600
for your chance, this is it. 
Receiver position, a wide 

313
00:15:55,600 --> 00:15:57,600
receiver or a tight end. 
Trevor, who you got? 

314
00:15:58,400 --> 00:16:01,480
Yeah, I just took my Saints 
Titans match up and slapped it 

315
00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:03,600
on to roll the dice. 
We're going to stay in that same

316
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:06,280
game with Juan Johnson, tight 
end for the Saints. 

317
00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:08,000
His floor has been very good for
a tight end. 

318
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,480
He has nine straight games with 
at least 4 catches or a 

319
00:16:10,480 --> 00:16:12,800
touchdown. 
The Saints number one tight end 

320
00:16:12,800 --> 00:16:16,280
flashed ceiling last week too. 
Without Devon Bailey, he had 9 

321
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:18,800
targets. 
He put up an 8 for 89 stat line 

322
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:20,880
on those. 
It's not an opposing match up 

323
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:22,600
either. 
Harold Cannon and George Kittle 

324
00:16:22,640 --> 00:16:25,240
each cleared 6 catches and a 
touchdown in the last three 

325
00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:28,760
weeks on the Titans D. 
All right, Maj., Who you got at 

326
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,960
the receiver position? 
I'm gonna make a strange call 

327
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,440
here with Brenton Strange. 
He's got three or more targets 

328
00:16:34,440 --> 00:16:37,840
and five straight. 
Three tight end, 1 finishes in 

329
00:16:37,840 --> 00:16:40,920
his last five games. 
Unfortunately, those other two 

330
00:16:41,160 --> 00:16:44,600
just 4 for 53 yards and one of 
them was a three for 27 effort 

331
00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,760
against the same Colts team he 
will be facing here. 

332
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:50,720
But Indy is not anything special
against tight end. 

333
00:16:50,720 --> 00:16:55,080
So I do think that this is an 
opportunity for him to continue 

334
00:16:55,360 --> 00:16:58,440
a relatively hot streak after 
coming here to Denver and 

335
00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:01,160
putting one on the Broncos, 
those those Jaguars. 

336
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,359
All right, my receiver is a wide
receiver. 

337
00:17:05,359 --> 00:17:10,079
It's Mack Hollins at The Jets, 
and he's far and away, at the 

338
00:17:10,079 --> 00:17:13,520
very minimum, the number 2 wide 
receiver in Drake May's offense.

339
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:17,640
And you could argue that he 
might be the number 19 targets 

340
00:17:17,640 --> 00:17:23,760
last week. 
Oh, here we go. 9 * 9 * 7 

341
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:26,880
catches, 69 yards. 
He was one target behind Stefan.

342
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:30,280
Digs. 8 targets the week before 
had four more than digs. 

343
00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:35,480
He has 130 more snaps than 
Stefan Diggs this year. 

344
00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:39,160
He's on the field consistently. 
He's the guy who's always on the

345
00:17:39,160 --> 00:17:41,560
field and he's playing The Jets 
again. 

346
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,680
I already told you that Drake 
May is going to be in a great 

347
00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:48,000
spot. 
This is a great way to get Mack 

348
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:51,360
Hollins, who maybe is the top 
wide receiver in New England, 

349
00:17:51,640 --> 00:17:54,760
against the team that gave up 
ten catches, 148 yards and two 

350
00:17:54,760 --> 00:18:00,120
scores last week to Chris Olave.
And those were nine players on 

351
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,680
whom you could roll the dice 
this week. 

352
00:18:03,680 --> 00:18:07,200
We'll move right into the next 
round of match ups here. 

353
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:09,480
And it's me. 
It's the Patriots and Jets. 

354
00:18:09,480 --> 00:18:13,160
And Romandre Stevenson and Mack 
Hollins were my roll the dice 

355
00:18:13,160 --> 00:18:15,880
players. 
And if Trayvon Henderson clears 

356
00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,080
concussion protocol, you'd start
him with a bronze grade and 

357
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,400
you'd also lower Romandre's 
grade from a silver to a bronze.

358
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,760
But I think it's going to be 
Stevenson, so silver grade for 

359
00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:28,000
him. 
Drake May gets a gold grade. 

360
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:31,080
He's topped 270 yards five times
in his last six. 

361
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:34,680
And when you combine rushing and
passing scores, he's responsible

362
00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:38,040
for at least two touchdowns in 
every game but three this year. 

363
00:18:38,440 --> 00:18:42,040
In Week 11 against The Jets, he 
hit 281 passing yards but only 

364
00:18:42,040 --> 00:18:45,760
had one touchdown pass. 
I guess the risk is the Pats get

365
00:18:45,760 --> 00:18:48,080
up too big too soon and just 
stop passing. 

366
00:18:48,600 --> 00:18:50,160
But they got to get up big 
first. 

367
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,280
And that's where Drake May 
probably comes in. 

368
00:18:52,840 --> 00:18:54,320
The Jets are not good at 
anything. 

369
00:18:54,520 --> 00:18:58,120
They've allowed the ninth most 
passing touchdowns and still 15 

370
00:18:58,120 --> 00:19:01,760
games in, they have yet to 
intercept a single pass on the 

371
00:19:01,760 --> 00:19:03,120
season. 
It's amazing. 

372
00:19:03,640 --> 00:19:06,520
Stefon Diggs gets a bronze. 
I talked a little bit about The 

373
00:19:06,520 --> 00:19:08,480
Jets D against wide receivers 
earlier. 

374
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,960
Diggs had 9 catches for 105 
yards in the first meeting. 

375
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:14,520
But again, my worry is they 
don't need to pass it all in the

376
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:19,120
second-half and Diggs is only on
the field for like 50 to 60% of 

377
00:19:19,120 --> 00:19:22,440
the snaps right now. 
So that's just a bronze grade. 

378
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:26,080
He's been making good with with 
good efficiency out there, but 

379
00:19:26,360 --> 00:19:28,800
I'm a little scared that he just
won't be on the field enough in 

380
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:31,160
this game. 
Hunter Henry, if you're 

381
00:19:31,160 --> 00:19:34,360
absolutely desperate, scored 
last week, did nothing the week 

382
00:19:34,360 --> 00:19:38,040
before, but had two double digit
PPR outings in the prior two 

383
00:19:38,040 --> 00:19:42,000
weeks and then he basically did 
nothing in October or November. 

384
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,920
So he's like a shot in the dark 
upside play. 

385
00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:49,040
Like if you go against a puka 
like game on Thursday or 

386
00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:52,600
Saturday and you need a miracle,
that's when you play Hunter 

387
00:19:52,600 --> 00:19:56,440
Henry and you pray loudly On the
jet side. 

388
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,360
Breece Hall is the only one you 
can consider. 

389
00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:02,400
He's still getting like 18 
touches per game, but everyone 

390
00:20:02,400 --> 00:20:05,360
knows that he's getting the ball
about 18 * a game. 

391
00:20:05,880 --> 00:20:08,480
He hasn't topped 4 yards per 
carry since week 11. 

392
00:20:08,600 --> 00:20:12,560
That was against the Patriots. 
I'll extend just a bronze grade 

393
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:13,960
to him. 
The Pats have allowed the fifth 

394
00:20:13,960 --> 00:20:17,440
most receptions to opposing 
backs Hall can catch. 

395
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:21,640
That's kind of the only option 
for the window here is Reese 

396
00:20:21,640 --> 00:20:27,480
Hall getting 5 receptions and 
making a half decent PPR day and

397
00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,200
that's it. 
Let's go to Trevor. 

398
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:32,960
The Saints traveled in Nashville
to take on the Titans and all 

399
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:36,600
the Roll the Dice players were 
in this game, so I assume you 

400
00:20:36,600 --> 00:20:39,200
must like Chris Olave a little 
bit here too. 

401
00:20:39,840 --> 00:20:40,680
I do. 
Yeah. 

402
00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:41,840
Chris Olave's got a straight 
goal. 

403
00:20:42,360 --> 00:20:45,160
Tennessee's a good match up. 
Titans have allowed nearly 160 

404
00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,360
wide receiver yards per game, 
seventh most in the NFL prior to

405
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,040
shutting down Gardner Minschu 
and something called Chris 

406
00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:54,640
Oladukun. 
Oladukun Chief's backup 

407
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,320
quarterback last week, the 
Titans had given up at least 75 

408
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,040
receiving yards to the last five
wide receiver ones they faced, 

409
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:01,960
including five touchdowns to 
those players. 

410
00:21:01,960 --> 00:21:04,080
And obviously they didn't get to
see Rasheed Rice last week, so 

411
00:21:04,080 --> 00:21:05,320
they didn't really face a 
receiver one. 

412
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:09,160
Jawan Johnson and Tyler Schuck 
were roll the dice players along

413
00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:12,840
with Tony Pollard. 
Taysom Hill, I guess we have to 

414
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:16,040
mention he had a nice game last 
week as Devin Neil and Alan 

415
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,120
Camaro were out. 
He did have 12 rushing attempts 

416
00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:21,800
and a passing touchdown. 
If you can play them at tight 

417
00:21:21,800 --> 00:21:25,080
end and you're like really 
desperate, it's not terrible, 

418
00:21:25,080 --> 00:21:27,520
but you really got to play. 
Have some stones to play Tayson 

419
00:21:27,640 --> 00:21:30,480
Hill in your fantasy title game.
And then on Tennessee, like I 

420
00:21:30,480 --> 00:21:33,120
said, it's just Tony Pollard. 
Taija Spears did have 18 touches

421
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:35,760
last week, but that was mostly 
due to just beating the crap out

422
00:21:35,760 --> 00:21:38,520
of a dead Chiefs team. 
So I don't think that continues.

423
00:21:38,520 --> 00:21:41,920
Again, Ola Dokun. 
Ola Dokun. 

424
00:21:42,080 --> 00:21:43,680
That's how we say it. 
Ola Dokun. 

425
00:21:44,120 --> 00:21:47,640
My apologies to the Ola Dokun. 
Family I just it's they said UN 

426
00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:51,360
like Ola Dokun. 
That's what that's what I'm 

427
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:52,800
seeing on the pronunciation 
thing. 

428
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,560
Yeah. 
O. 

429
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,920
ON Kuhn rhymes with soon. 
I'm using Google AI so you can't

430
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,280
trust that. 
I am too and I'm not trusting it

431
00:22:04,360 --> 00:22:06,440
either. 
We we need the Sunday Night 

432
00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,240
Football intro with him saying 
his own name to get to get the 

433
00:22:09,240 --> 00:22:11,880
information I think. 
Well, I mean, they are playing 

434
00:22:11,880 --> 00:22:14,080
Thursday night, so maybe we'll 
we'll see that. 

435
00:22:14,240 --> 00:22:19,240
Actually. 
You'll you'll have by the time 

436
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,520
you've heard this podcast, you 
will know how to correct us. 

437
00:22:21,760 --> 00:22:25,000
Yeah, exactly. 
You're all done with that match 

438
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,560
up, right Trevor? 
We're just yeah, yeah, sorry, 

439
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:27,800
that was. 
It there's nothing else going on

440
00:22:27,800 --> 00:22:29,800
there, Cam or Nope. 
Receivers. 

441
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,800
OK, fine. 
Jacksonville and Indy and Maj. 

442
00:22:34,800 --> 00:22:37,560
The Jags are coming off that 
huge win in Denver last Sunday. 

443
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:42,440
Can Trevor Lawrence and the boys
keep the strain rolling? 

444
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:46,080
Yeah, man, that was quite the 
quite the beat down to 

445
00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,760
touchdowns they put on Denver 
here. 

446
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:50,840
Empower Empower Field at Mile 
High. 

447
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:52,080
There's a lot of names for that 
stadium. 

448
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:57,240
The Jaguars actually have a 
implied team total of 27 in this

449
00:22:57,240 --> 00:22:58,920
one. 
And this is a team still in the 

450
00:22:58,920 --> 00:23:02,280
running for the number one seed 
clinched the division, although 

451
00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,800
with Thursday's games, I don't 
know how that plays into it. 

452
00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:08,000
So maybe they already have, but 
still the number one seed in 

453
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:10,880
play. 
So Trevor Lawrence is a gold 

454
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:13,320
grade. 
He's got QB 1 outputs in six of 

455
00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,640
his last eight games. 
Just torched that elite Broncos 

456
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:21,040
pasty his last four games. 
A 12 to 0 touchdown to 

457
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:23,360
interception ratio. 
Not to mention two rushing 

458
00:23:23,360 --> 00:23:25,840
scores to put him up to seven 
this season. 

459
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:28,800
He's got 26 passing scores 
overall. 

460
00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:33,840
When these teams faced off in 
Week 14, Lawrence went for 2:44 

461
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,800
and 2:00. 
So keep that Trevor Lawrence 

462
00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,160
gravy train rolling. 
That means a silver grade for 

463
00:23:39,160 --> 00:23:42,200
Jacoby fires now five straight 
weeks as the snap leader among 

464
00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:45,480
those Jags wide receivers, 6 or 
more targets and six straight 

465
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:48,800
and actually 25 total in his 
last three combined. 

466
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:50,600
So he just keeps getting more 
and more work. 

467
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:54,440
He has at least 41 yards or a 
touchdown in all seven games as 

468
00:23:54,440 --> 00:23:57,880
a Jaguar, but has only topped 71
yards once and hasn't scored in 

469
00:23:57,880 --> 00:24:01,480
back-to-back games. 
Now heading in the last week's 

470
00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,040
game of San Francisco Indy since
Week 10, it allowed the third 

471
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:06,320
most receiving yards per game 
and the fifth most fantasy 

472
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:08,040
points. 
Those numbers obviously went up 

473
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,440
after Monday's beat down against
the 49ers. 

474
00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:13,520
So you like Myers's chances in 
this one. 

475
00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:17,880
I've got bronzes on two more 
receivers here, Brian Thomas and

476
00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,560
Parker Washington. 
With Brian Thomas, he's now to a

477
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:23,880
73% snap share minimum in four 
straight games. 

478
00:24:23,880 --> 00:24:26,960
It's coming back from industry. 
How about injury? 

479
00:24:28,240 --> 00:24:32,000
His target share has been 
inconsistent, 13 combined in his

480
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:35,200
two previous games, but then the
Broncos game marked his 2nd and 

481
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:37,960
the last four with just three 
and he only had fewer and he had

482
00:24:37,960 --> 00:24:41,200
fewer than 30 yards receiving. 
So it's a much easier match up 

483
00:24:41,200 --> 00:24:43,160
this week. 
So that should hopefully elevate

484
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:45,160
the floor for him. 
But because he's only got 1 

485
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,600
score in his last six games, 31 
or fewer yards and three of 

486
00:24:48,600 --> 00:24:51,680
those he's just tough to trust. 
So that's why just the bronze 

487
00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,560
grade here. 
And with Parker Washington, he 

488
00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:56,400
actually LED all Jacksonville 
wide receivers last week, a six 

489
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,840
145 and one line A-Team high 10 
targets. 

490
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:03,040
And that was the fight just 
playing 56% of the snaps. 

491
00:25:03,040 --> 00:25:05,640
But you do target the Broncos in
the slot. 

492
00:25:05,640 --> 00:25:07,760
And that's where Parker 
Washington's doing a lot of his 

493
00:25:07,760 --> 00:25:10,360
damage. 
He now although has 53 or more 

494
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:12,880
yards and three of his last 
four, two touchdowns in that 

495
00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,480
stretch. 
So he's a red zone threat, only 

496
00:25:15,480 --> 00:25:19,680
had three targets each in his 
last two games prior to the big 

497
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,120
one here in Denver. 
So it's it's a risky chase, but 

498
00:25:23,120 --> 00:25:27,240
because of that high point total
and just his involvement, I 

499
00:25:27,240 --> 00:25:29,840
think you can put a bronze grid 
on him already talked about 

500
00:25:29,840 --> 00:25:32,360
Brent Strange. 
I will throw a bronze on him as 

501
00:25:32,360 --> 00:25:35,000
well. 
Travis ETN is the last one on 

502
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:36,440
that side. 
Another gold here. 

503
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:40,400
I'm assuming no basil tootin in 
this one. 

504
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,400
I think it'd be a very high end 
silver if tootin came back, but 

505
00:25:43,400 --> 00:25:47,280
that's not expected. 
He he did he being ETN squid 

506
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,240
goal line work with Laquint 
Allen junior here in Denver, but

507
00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:53,480
played more than 95% of early 
downs. 

508
00:25:53,480 --> 00:25:57,600
Got all the short yardage work, 
not to mention A4 catch 1 

509
00:25:57,600 --> 00:26:00,360
touchdown only 16 yards. 
Would you like that touchdown 

510
00:26:00,360 --> 00:26:02,880
receiving line against that 
tough Broncos defense? 

511
00:26:02,880 --> 00:26:06,640
So keep ETN rolling on the Colt 
side. 

512
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:10,600
Actually, not AI mean not a high
team total, but an implied team 

513
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:13,480
total of 20 1/2. 
Not too bad for a Phillip Rivers

514
00:26:13,480 --> 00:26:16,520
LED offense. 
I'm going to give the old timer 

515
00:26:16,520 --> 00:26:20,000
a bronze in this one. 
Teams just tend to throw on the 

516
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,560
Jags for a couple reasons. 
One, their run defense is 

517
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,080
awesome and two, their offense 
is putting up points so you've 

518
00:26:25,080 --> 00:26:27,720
got to keep up. 
Jags have given up the second 

519
00:26:27,720 --> 00:26:30,760
most passing attempts, third 
most completions, and ninth most

520
00:26:30,760 --> 00:26:33,440
yards. 
Monday night was a game where 

521
00:26:33,440 --> 00:26:36,840
Indy really had to keep pace the
high scoring offense, and they 

522
00:26:36,840 --> 00:26:40,360
let Rivers throw. 
He threw 35 times, managed 277 

523
00:26:40,360 --> 00:26:44,560
yards and two scores before the 
game, stealing pick six late in 

524
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:47,080
the fourth there. 
So a little bit of throwing 

525
00:26:47,080 --> 00:26:52,360
means there could be a little 
bit of wide receiver usage here,

526
00:26:52,560 --> 00:26:55,000
but I've got bronze on all three
of their main guys. 

527
00:26:55,600 --> 00:26:59,120
With Pitman, he's got 5 targets 
in both games with Phillip 

528
00:26:59,120 --> 00:27:02,240
Rivers under center, but has 
only combined for seven catches 

529
00:27:02,240 --> 00:27:06,320
and 58 scoreless yards. 
He led the team in targets 

530
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,160
against Jacksonville back in 
Week 14 with 12 and actually 

531
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,040
managed 79 yards on 9 catches in
that one, but that was mostly 

532
00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:17,240
with Riley Leonard under center.
Alec Pierce of Bronze, he led 

533
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,680
the team with 80 yards against 
the Jags back in Week 14. 

534
00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,320
Had two touchdowns on Monday 
night. 

535
00:27:22,120 --> 00:27:24,800
Nice to see him getting the red 
zone looks but he's only gotten 

536
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,280
5 targets on River. 62 pass 
attempts so far. 

537
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:31,440
So he's caught off 5 which is 
great but that's super super 

538
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:33,120
risky. 
So he's probably the lowest and 

539
00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:36,320
bronze here just because the 
lower floor may be higher 

540
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,320
ceiling. 
Josh Downs has a bronze. 

541
00:27:38,360 --> 00:27:41,640
He's actually the most targeted 
Phillip Rivers wide receiver 

542
00:27:41,800 --> 00:27:45,120
with 14 in two games, so he's 
been viable in both those. 

543
00:27:45,120 --> 00:27:49,160
He had a touchdown in Week 15, 
five for 65 + a rushing attempt 

544
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,160
against the Niners on Monday 
night, but didn't do much in 

545
00:27:52,160 --> 00:27:54,120
that Week 14 matchup with the 
Jags. 

546
00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,840
Only four catches for 23 
scoreless yards in that one. 

547
00:27:57,840 --> 00:28:00,440
And the Jags defense is easier 
to attack on the outside than it

548
00:28:00,440 --> 00:28:03,040
is in the slot. 
So, you know, again, very low 

549
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:05,040
end bronze for for kind of all 
these guys. 

550
00:28:05,280 --> 00:28:09,040
Tyler Warren silver team leading
15 targets with Rivers under 

551
00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:12,080
center, but he's only turned 
that into 6 catches for 49 yards

552
00:28:12,280 --> 00:28:15,800
and he only had two catches for 
15 in the previous Jags matchup,

553
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:18,880
scored just one time in his last
eight games. 

554
00:28:18,880 --> 00:28:22,320
So I don't necessarily call it 
the rookie wall here for him 

555
00:28:22,320 --> 00:28:24,680
because he's been dealing with 
some quarterback changes 

556
00:28:24,680 --> 00:28:28,800
obviously. 
But I do think where he was a 

557
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:31,720
goal earlier in the season that 
you can only top him out here at

558
00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:35,240
silver, Jacksonville's allowing 
the 7th most receptions, ninth 

559
00:28:35,240 --> 00:28:38,000
most yards and 12 most 
touchdowns to tight end. 

560
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,640
So, you know, there's a little 
bit of possibility getting 

561
00:28:40,640 --> 00:28:43,960
something done there. 
Last but not least, Jonathan 

562
00:28:43,960 --> 00:28:45,200
Taylor. 
We're going to keep him at a 

563
00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,880
goal. 
He's earned 21 carries into 74 

564
00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:50,280
yards and a touchdown against 
the Jags in Week 14. 

565
00:28:50,400 --> 00:28:52,640
And that was despite Riley 
Leonard being under Center for 

566
00:28:52,640 --> 00:28:55,200
most of it. 
That was actually his only game 

567
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,240
all season without at least 2 
receptions, and Rivers just 

568
00:28:59,240 --> 00:29:01,040
targeted him seven times in two 
games. 

569
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:03,520
So he's still getting a little 
bit of that passing down work. 

570
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:07,360
He only had 46 yards against San
Francisco last week. 

571
00:29:07,360 --> 00:29:10,280
That was one try of a season 
low, but he did still score 

572
00:29:10,400 --> 00:29:13,520
managed 79 combo yards. 
Yes, the Jacksonville run 

573
00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:16,440
defense is among the best in the
game with the fewest running 

574
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,240
back rushing yards, second 
fewest combo yards, and 6th 

575
00:29:19,320 --> 00:29:22,320
fewest combo touchdowns allowed 
to the position all year. 

576
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:25,280
But Taylor's just been too good.
That Andy team has been too good

577
00:29:25,280 --> 00:29:28,880
for you to do anything but put 
him in your lineup and hope for 

578
00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:32,440
another nice day. 
Yeah, it'd be, even though it's 

579
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:35,200
a tough matchup, it'd be crazy 
to bench Jonathan Taylor, 

580
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:38,040
Fantasy Championship week. 
I mean, he's the guy who got you

581
00:29:38,040 --> 00:29:39,160
there. 
Right. 

582
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:42,120
It'd be like having Chase Brown 
on the bench last week and 

583
00:29:42,120 --> 00:29:44,720
starting Bucky Irving over him 
and and then losing because of 

584
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:45,640
it. 
That'd be silly. 

585
00:29:45,880 --> 00:29:51,560
Who would do that? 
A long, slow sip. 

586
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:54,720
Hey, you know what, it's time 
for another holiday themed adult

Learnmore@gameblazers.com Happy 
holidays. 

598
00:30:32,960 --> 00:30:35,960
My wife's going to be super 
surprised I was in two adult 

599
00:30:35,960 --> 00:30:39,520
films this week. 
Yeah, why don't you just tell us

600
00:30:39,520 --> 00:30:41,880
what you want to tell us about 
Game Blazers? 

601
00:30:43,080 --> 00:30:45,360
Just kidding. 
Welcome back. 

602
00:30:45,360 --> 00:30:49,640
It's time for a segment that we 
like to call 2 tough nuts. 

603
00:30:50,400 --> 00:31:04,600
It's time for two tough nuts. 2 
crack this is this is kind of 

604
00:31:04,600 --> 00:31:06,960
the the end one of the year 
here. 

605
00:31:06,960 --> 00:31:10,320
So I've got I've got one tough 
nut and one that's more of a 

606
00:31:10,320 --> 00:31:12,920
soft nut. 
So let's start with the tough 

607
00:31:12,920 --> 00:31:16,960
nut here. 
Which running back will lead the

608
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:21,640
NFL in touches in 2026? 
Maj. 

609
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:24,920
Why don't you go first? 
Well, I mean, I could make the 

610
00:31:24,920 --> 00:31:28,120
case for a lot of guys here. 
I think my top five that I 

611
00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:31,160
narrowed it down to were Gibbs, 
Taylor Bijon, James Cook and 

612
00:31:31,160 --> 00:31:33,840
Ashton Genti. 
Devon A Chan and Josh Jacobs 

613
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:37,200
were honorable mention, but I'm 
going to ultimately go with Cook

614
00:31:37,560 --> 00:31:41,040
of that top five I mentioned 
because I think he's in the 

615
00:31:41,040 --> 00:31:45,320
offense that's the likeliest to 
make a jump in plays run per 

616
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:48,320
game just by virtue of bringing 
in pass catching help. 

617
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:52,000
Like they can't keep doing this 
to Josh Allen, you know? 

618
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:54,600
And then everything else is 
already kind of in place in that

619
00:31:54,600 --> 00:31:56,760
offense. 
Cook is currently 4th in the 

620
00:31:56,760 --> 00:32:00,400
league at 21.3 touches per game 
despite the Bills offense being 

621
00:32:00,400 --> 00:32:04,240
14th in plays run per game. 
So I look at those other guys, 

622
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,560
it's like, well, the Detroit 
offense really can't get much 

623
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:08,360
better. 
So I don't see them running more

624
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:11,280
plays next year. 
Indian Atlanta are likely to 

625
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:13,520
kind of remain where they're at.
Their coaching Staffs are going 

626
00:32:13,520 --> 00:32:15,720
to kind of stay in place. 
So I don't see them making big 

627
00:32:15,720 --> 00:32:17,640
jumps. 
And I don't think the Raiders 

628
00:32:17,640 --> 00:32:21,880
can make a big enough leap next 
year to give Ashton Gentie 

629
00:32:21,880 --> 00:32:24,880
enough overall opportunities to 
catch James Cook. 

630
00:32:24,880 --> 00:32:28,080
So that's my case for James 
Cook. 

631
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:33,480
All right, Trevor, which running
back will lead the NFL in 

632
00:32:33,480 --> 00:32:39,400
touches in 2026? 
Yeah, I the way I went about it,

633
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:41,800
I just kind of looked at the 
recent touch leaders and kind of

634
00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:43,960
the profile of the teams that 
those guys came from. 

635
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,440
So recently we've got Jonathan 
Taylor LED once they missed the 

636
00:32:46,440 --> 00:32:47,600
playoffs the last week of the 
season. 

637
00:32:47,600 --> 00:32:51,840
Derrick Henry in 2022 barely 
missed 2023, Derrick Henry LED, 

638
00:32:51,840 --> 00:32:53,920
he fully missed the playoffs. 
But otherwise we're looking at 

639
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:58,280
like 49ers CMC 2019 and 20, 
Derrick Henry, Eagles, Saquon, 

640
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:00,960
Cowboy, Zeke Steelers, Lev Bell 
since 2015. 

641
00:33:01,480 --> 00:33:04,440
So it's got to be somebody who's
probably at least in the playoff

642
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,040
mix, if not going to make the 
playoffs that has the huge 

643
00:33:07,040 --> 00:33:09,120
workload. 
So it's either a Chan, CMC or 

644
00:33:09,120 --> 00:33:12,000
Bijan. 
I don't think a Chan or Bijan's 

645
00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:13,480
team is making the playoffs next
year. 

646
00:33:13,480 --> 00:33:16,120
Just with the state of the 
quarterback play for the Falcons

647
00:33:16,120 --> 00:33:19,320
and just the talent in Miami. 
So I went with CMC. 

648
00:33:19,760 --> 00:33:22,960
I don't know if that's insane. 
He, he'll be 30 years old in the

649
00:33:22,960 --> 00:33:25,280
2026 season starts. 
He'll be coming off of a 400 

650
00:33:25,280 --> 00:33:27,880
touch season. 
But if we just laid out 

651
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:29,960
everybody on the table and said 
who is the most likely if they 

652
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:32,840
play 17 games to lead the NFL in
touches, it's Christian 

653
00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,680
McCaffrey every time, I think. 
Those are both great answers, 

654
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:40,440
but they're wrong. 
And I, I, I went back and I 

655
00:33:40,440 --> 00:33:42,760
looked at history. 
I went back a few years here. 

656
00:33:42,760 --> 00:33:48,400
So in 2022, the, the, the 
benchmark I have is how many 

657
00:33:48,400 --> 00:33:51,280
backs hit 320 touches, which is 
a lot. 

658
00:33:52,800 --> 00:33:55,920
In 2022, there were only four 
backs who hit 320 touches. 

659
00:33:55,920 --> 00:33:59,600
It was Derrick Henry, Josh 
Jacobs, Nick Chubb and Saquon 

660
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:03,160
Barkley. 
In 2023 there were only three 

661
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:06,520
backs who did it. 
Christian McCaffrey, Rashad 

662
00:34:06,520 --> 00:34:10,520
White and Travis Etienne noticed
there were no repeaters. 

663
00:34:11,560 --> 00:34:15,080
Last year there were 6 running 
backs that hit 320 touches. 

664
00:34:15,440 --> 00:34:19,199
Not one of them repeated from 
the prior season as well Saquon,

665
00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:23,960
Henry, Kyron Williams, Bijan 
Robinson, Jonathan Taylor and 

666
00:34:23,960 --> 00:34:28,000
Josh Jacobs. 
And then this year, James Cook, 

667
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,280
Jonathan Taylor, Bijan and 
McCaffrey have already hit it. 

668
00:34:31,840 --> 00:34:35,760
Barkley will probably get there.
So it's the first time in 

669
00:34:35,760 --> 00:34:40,920
several years that three of the 
six will repeat 320 touches. 

670
00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:45,920
That's Bijan, Taylor and Saquon 
Barkley. 

671
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,320
And to me, that means that none 
of those guys can hit it. 

672
00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,360
They, they have no chance. 
They're they're going to get 

673
00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:55,400
wiped out by injury over usage, 
that kind of thing. 

674
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,880
So three out of the last 13 
players have done it from one 

675
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:03,560
year to the next. 
So Cook, Taylor, Bijan, CMC, 

676
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,240
Barkley, they're all out due to 
regression. 

677
00:35:06,680 --> 00:35:09,160
So it's got to be a guy who owns
a backfield by himself. 

678
00:35:09,160 --> 00:35:11,560
So I'm kicking out Jameer Gibbs 
and Kyron Williams because they 

679
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:13,320
don't own a backfield by 
themselves. 

680
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:17,400
I settled on Ashton Genti and I 
didn't think I was going to get 

681
00:35:17,400 --> 00:35:19,920
there. 
He's at 274 touches right now. 

682
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:23,760
He's on pace for 310. 
The Raiders are looking for a 

683
00:35:23,760 --> 00:35:27,680
new coach probably, and a new 
quarterback probably. 

684
00:35:28,240 --> 00:35:32,400
Whoever joins that offense gets 
two shiny toys, Genti and 

685
00:35:32,400 --> 00:35:35,560
Bowers, and I expect they try to
makeshift a much better 

686
00:35:35,560 --> 00:35:37,920
offensive line. 
If he gets any improvement in 

687
00:35:37,920 --> 00:35:42,560
that offensive line, he can turn
320 touches into a lot of good 

688
00:35:42,560 --> 00:35:44,320
stuff. 
He's going to get a ton of work 

689
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:45,920
next year. 
I think it's Ashton Genti. 

690
00:35:46,680 --> 00:35:50,400
I will say Pete Carroll, his 
son, is the offensive line coach

691
00:35:50,400 --> 00:35:52,080
for the Raiders. 
So maybe if they have like a 

692
00:35:52,080 --> 00:35:54,960
real offensive line coach and 
not a Napo baby, Ashton Genti 

693
00:35:54,960 --> 00:35:57,000
can pile up 400. 
Touches. 

694
00:35:57,720 --> 00:36:00,720
Wow. 
Trevor calling out the Carroll 

695
00:36:00,720 --> 00:36:03,120
family. 
Geez, tough year for Oakland, 

696
00:36:03,240 --> 00:36:05,480
for Vegas. 
All right, so this one's more of

697
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:09,480
a soft nut. 
What is the best way to play NFL

698
00:36:09,480 --> 00:36:13,200
fantasy football? 
And Trevor, there's no wrong 

699
00:36:13,200 --> 00:36:14,840
answer to this one, so you're 
going to get it right. 

700
00:36:15,280 --> 00:36:17,040
Yeah, I'm trying to keep a 
straight face after the 

701
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:19,440
description of the second nut 
here. 

702
00:36:20,120 --> 00:36:21,560
So I think I know what Matt's 
answer will be. 

703
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:22,760
So I'm not going to steal his 
Thunder. 

704
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:25,720
I will go full company, full, 
full company shield here. 

705
00:36:25,720 --> 00:36:28,080
I'm going to pick the NFFC 
format, which you can check out 

706
00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:31,440
on the NFFC website, one of many
great sports health properties. 

707
00:36:32,160 --> 00:36:34,160
So you start by picking a roster
of one player per team. 

708
00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,720
Each round that player advances,
they get double points in the 

709
00:36:36,720 --> 00:36:38,560
next round, so on and so on as 
they advance. 

710
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:40,920
No salary cap, it's just the per
team roster limit. 

711
00:36:40,920 --> 00:36:43,000
One of your players gets 
eliminated from playoffs, you 

712
00:36:43,000 --> 00:36:44,800
add a new player of the roster 
and so on and so on. 

713
00:36:44,960 --> 00:36:48,040
I like that part because as you 
get further into, you know, 

714
00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,480
divisional round, conference 
round, it's a little more like a

715
00:36:50,480 --> 00:36:52,680
DFS strategy element where it's 
like, well, yeah, I want to pick

716
00:36:52,680 --> 00:36:55,400
up, you know, Jamar Chase. 
But what if I keep, you know, 

717
00:36:55,640 --> 00:37:00,880
whoever Devonte Adams a 2X over 
Jamar Chase or I'm down 30 

718
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,080
points. 
I need to pick a low owned 

719
00:37:02,080 --> 00:37:03,760
player who could go off and not 
the top player. 

720
00:37:03,760 --> 00:37:08,080
So I just enjoy that kind of the
daily element to the NFC format.

721
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:11,240
Good job, Trevor. 
That's a correct answer. 

722
00:37:11,240 --> 00:37:13,040
It's one of many correct 
answers. 

723
00:37:13,400 --> 00:37:17,960
All right, Maj., what's your 
favorite way to play NFL playoff

724
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:20,760
fantasy football? 
Well, great minds think alike. 

725
00:37:20,760 --> 00:37:23,480
I just, I basically wrote an 
NFFC commercial I was going to 

726
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,800
read, but I'm not going to do 
that because Trevor mowed my 

727
00:37:26,800 --> 00:37:30,840
lawn so. 
What other playoff scenarios 

728
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:32,520
have you played? 
What other playoff games have 

729
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:36,400
you played in the past? 
The, I believe there's a Matt 

730
00:37:36,400 --> 00:37:40,680
Harrison playoff game out there.
So that's always fun. 

731
00:37:41,200 --> 00:37:44,360
Our, our old friend John Tooby 
used to do a playoff thing, I 

732
00:37:44,360 --> 00:37:46,720
think, and I'm getting old and I
don't remember stuff. 

733
00:37:46,720 --> 00:37:53,280
So the, the, the formats where 
you just pick the players and if

734
00:37:53,280 --> 00:37:56,720
you lose them, you lose them. 
Your toast is interesting. 

735
00:37:56,720 --> 00:37:58,680
You know, it's fun. 
It's a, it's a different angle. 

736
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:02,960
I do like on the NFFC side, you 
get the multiplier, but then you

737
00:38:02,960 --> 00:38:05,960
also backfill. 
And so it, it is, you know, it's

738
00:38:07,520 --> 00:38:10,320
and they're, they're all fun in 
their own, you know, in their 

739
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:12,640
own way to play. 
I think the, the cool thing with

740
00:38:12,640 --> 00:38:16,480
the NFFC ones is just the, the, 
the prize money, right 'cause 

741
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:20,200
in, in the big NFFC contest, I 
think it's 200 bucks to play, 

742
00:38:20,200 --> 00:38:25,080
but first prize it's 125 grand, 
the mini games, 50 bucks to play

743
00:38:25,080 --> 00:38:27,960
and you 50,000 to 1st. 
So it's like, yeah, there's 

744
00:38:27,960 --> 00:38:31,880
more, you know, more players. 
You got to, you've got to sort 

745
00:38:31,880 --> 00:38:35,440
of narrower path to victory, but
when you win, you win big. 

746
00:38:35,960 --> 00:38:37,920
Yeah, that's life changing money
right there. 

747
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:40,640
So you guys kind of mentioned 
it. 

748
00:38:40,640 --> 00:38:42,800
I like salary cap draft and 
hold. 

749
00:38:42,800 --> 00:38:46,000
That's the game I've been 
running like personally for 15 

750
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:49,440
years or so. 
And in that you pick your team 

751
00:38:49,440 --> 00:38:52,760
at the beginning of the play 
offs using a salary cap similar 

752
00:38:52,760 --> 00:38:55,480
to like ADFS game. 
They're locked for the whole 

753
00:38:55,720 --> 00:38:58,960
post season run. 
So if you lose a couple of guys 

754
00:38:58,960 --> 00:39:02,000
in the wild card round, you're, 
you're out and, and a lot of 

755
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:05,200
people will pick like two or 
three teams that they think have

756
00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:08,680
a chance to make the Super Bowl 
and, and go that way. 

757
00:39:08,760 --> 00:39:13,040
But it when one of your teams 
loses you, you really lose 

758
00:39:13,040 --> 00:39:16,520
players pretty quickly and your 
points dwindle pretty fast. 

759
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:19,880
So you have to Galaxy brain 4 
weeks where the playoffs figure 

760
00:39:19,880 --> 00:39:22,720
out who's going to score the 
most points, who's going to be 

761
00:39:22,720 --> 00:39:24,800
alive later. 
You kind of have to bracket it 

762
00:39:24,800 --> 00:39:27,000
out in a couple of different 
ways to go. 

763
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:30,040
Oh well, they're the seven seed 
and if they beat the two seed, 

764
00:39:30,040 --> 00:39:32,040
they'll move on to the the one 
seed. 

765
00:39:32,040 --> 00:39:34,120
And is that a good match up for 
my running back? 

766
00:39:34,440 --> 00:39:38,080
It it's a lot of fun to play and
it's a lot of fun to kind of 

767
00:39:38,080 --> 00:39:39,920
come up with the different 
scenarios to go. 

768
00:39:41,360 --> 00:39:45,200
So those were the final two 
tough nuts of the season. 

769
00:39:45,520 --> 00:39:49,880
Thank you for playing along with
us and we really appreciate that

770
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,720
that you stayed safe in this 
game. 

771
00:39:53,800 --> 00:39:55,840
All right, let's jump back into 
the matchups. 

772
00:39:56,320 --> 00:39:59,880
It's a bit of a trap game here 
for the Seahawks as they head 

773
00:39:59,880 --> 00:40:03,040
across the country to battle the
NFC South leading Panthers. 

774
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:06,360
A ton of playoff implications in
this game with both teams 

775
00:40:06,560 --> 00:40:09,800
winning in emotional fashion 
last week, taking control of 

776
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:12,920
their respective divisions. 
We can start with the easy one, 

777
00:40:12,920 --> 00:40:16,000
Jackson Smith and Jigbug gets an
easy gold grade here. 

778
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:20,120
The guy pitched a 23 point game 
last week after being shut out 

779
00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:22,640
at halftime. 
That was just the second-half. 

780
00:40:23,040 --> 00:40:26,480
He can go off for 20 points and 
a half easily. 

781
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,040
Chow Smith, Wade is in the slot.
He's not scary at all. 

782
00:40:30,320 --> 00:40:33,520
JS NS in a good spot. 
Rashid Shahid is on your bench. 

783
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:39,640
He had a 31 yard electric run, 
but one target besides that 

784
00:40:39,640 --> 00:40:42,720
against the Rams last week. 
You can't use that in a fantasy 

785
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:43,960
championship. 
That's insane. 

786
00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:46,960
Sam Darnold gets a bronze in 
that crazy comeback. 

787
00:40:46,960 --> 00:40:50,120
Last week you would have thought
that Darnold might have put up 

788
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:54,080
like 350 yards. 
He only put up to 70 and two 

789
00:40:54,080 --> 00:40:56,520
touchdowns. 
I would have thought it was way 

790
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,040
more. 
If you just like talk to me 

791
00:40:58,040 --> 00:41:00,880
about that game. 
The Panthers have allowed over 

792
00:41:00,880 --> 00:41:05,360
270 yards in a game just three 
times this year. 

793
00:41:05,720 --> 00:41:09,600
Only one of those quarterbacks 
threw 2 touchdown passes, so the

794
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:12,880
Panthers aren't giving up much. 
The Panthers have only allowed 

795
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:16,760
four passing scores in the last 
five weeks, so it's just a 

796
00:41:16,760 --> 00:41:20,480
bronze for Darnold. 
Ken Walker had the big day on 

797
00:41:20,480 --> 00:41:25,920
Thursday night, 164 combo yards 
in a score, but he's still only 

798
00:41:25,920 --> 00:41:29,320
LED in touches 14 to 13 over 
Zach Charbonnay. 

799
00:41:29,680 --> 00:41:31,600
And Charbonnay scored in that 
one too. 

800
00:41:31,600 --> 00:41:35,400
So both of these players have 
the ability to throw you a 

801
00:41:35,400 --> 00:41:38,960
touchdown or two, but both have 
the ability to give you a four 

802
00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:42,000
point game, which sucks and 
they've both done in the last 

803
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,800
four weeks. 
The match up is great. 

804
00:41:44,880 --> 00:41:48,000
Carolina is bottom 10 in rushing
yards and touchdowns allowed, 

805
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:52,680
but Bucky Irving took 19 carries
last week and only managed 71 

806
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:57,880
yards against these Panthers. 
It seems like the 15 to 16 point

807
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:01,640
upside would be Kenneth Walker, 
so I'll give him a bronze. 

808
00:42:02,040 --> 00:42:04,840
I can't start Charbonnay. 
He always gets a couple fewer 

809
00:42:04,840 --> 00:42:07,720
touches, so I just will leave 
him on the bench. 

810
00:42:09,200 --> 00:42:12,040
By the way, on in the running 
game, Rico Dowdell, he's in a 

811
00:42:12,040 --> 00:42:14,720
timeshare, too, and it feels 
like it's kind of going the 

812
00:42:14,720 --> 00:42:17,080
wrong way for Dowdell right when
we need him the most. 

813
00:42:17,400 --> 00:42:19,920
Last week, Dowdell had only 13 
touches. 

814
00:42:20,160 --> 00:42:23,880
Chuba Hubbard had 7. 
The week before, it was 17 to 9.

815
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:27,360
Dowdell has in top 12 PPR points
in a month. 

816
00:42:27,960 --> 00:42:31,440
But the interesting thing here 
is that they played the Rams a 

817
00:42:31,440 --> 00:42:36,040
few weeks ago and the Panthers 
just ran the ball all day. 

818
00:42:36,080 --> 00:42:39,640
Hubbard had 17 carries. 
Dowdell had 18 carries in that 

819
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:41,880
game. 
Seattle's excellent against the 

820
00:42:41,880 --> 00:42:44,680
run, but they've allowed the 
most receptions to opposing 

821
00:42:44,680 --> 00:42:48,720
backs this year. 
It's it's an intriguing match 

822
00:42:48,720 --> 00:42:50,760
up, but I think I'm going to 
leave both on the bench. 

823
00:42:51,240 --> 00:42:54,160
If you have to start one in one 
of those Panthers running backs 

824
00:42:54,160 --> 00:42:58,160
required leagues, Dowdell's the 
better play so he gets a higher 

825
00:42:58,160 --> 00:43:00,560
bench grade. 
But this just seems like it 

826
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:02,440
could be more downside than 
upside here. 

827
00:43:03,720 --> 00:43:06,360
Bryce Young was my roll the dice
quarterback and then the only 

828
00:43:06,360 --> 00:43:08,840
receiver of his you could start 
is Ted McMillan. 

829
00:43:09,280 --> 00:43:12,760
He was back to his wicked ways 
last week. 10 targets, 6 

830
00:43:12,760 --> 00:43:15,280
catches, 73 yards and a score 
against Tampa. 

831
00:43:15,960 --> 00:43:19,160
If the Puka Nakua tape is 
watched by the Panthers locker 

832
00:43:19,160 --> 00:43:21,840
room this week, they might think
that they could just target 

833
00:43:21,840 --> 00:43:26,160
their alpha receiver over and 
over again because Puka had 46 

834
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:31,360
1/2 PPR points last week. 
That was just about triple the 

835
00:43:31,360 --> 00:43:35,080
amount of any wide receiver 
against Seattle all year. 

836
00:43:36,560 --> 00:43:39,920
It's crazy. 
The receiver that hits 16 points

837
00:43:39,920 --> 00:43:44,800
against them back in week 7, 
that was Pukanakua again. 

838
00:43:46,120 --> 00:43:48,720
So I'll float a bronze grade to 
Ted McMillan because it's a 

839
00:43:48,720 --> 00:43:52,920
super tough matchup. 
It's almost a Shibuichi but it's

840
00:43:52,920 --> 00:43:55,520
definitely a high ish bronze 
grade here. 

841
00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,240
So Puka's got to have like 20% 
of the fantasy points scored by 

842
00:43:59,280 --> 00:44:01,720
wide receivers against them, 
pretty much. 

843
00:44:02,520 --> 00:44:06,280
Yeah, it's crazy. 
All right, let's move on to the 

844
00:44:06,280 --> 00:44:09,760
next match up, Trevor. 
The true battle of Florida 

845
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,560
commences as the Bucks head 
South to take on the Dolphins. 

846
00:44:12,840 --> 00:44:16,240
This has to be a get right game 
for Bucky Irving, who was 

847
00:44:16,400 --> 00:44:20,040
evidently on one of Maj's teams 
and that Tampa offense. 

848
00:44:21,000 --> 00:44:23,880
Yeah. 
I'll throw the Shibuichi at 

849
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:26,400
Bucky Irving. 
The workload has been good, at 

850
00:44:26,400 --> 00:44:28,840
least 17 touches in each of his 
four games back from injury. 

851
00:44:28,840 --> 00:44:31,280
In the matchups quality Miami 
gives up the fifth most combo 

852
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:34,800
yards to enemy running backs. 
However, Sean Tucker has just 

853
00:44:34,800 --> 00:44:37,680
fully taken the goal line role 
like it's just Sean Tucker's 

854
00:44:37,680 --> 00:44:39,440
now. 
So Bucky has to score from 

855
00:44:39,440 --> 00:44:40,640
distance. 
He's not going to get those 

856
00:44:40,920 --> 00:44:42,960
touches and then he's also 
losing a bit of pass game work 

857
00:44:42,960 --> 00:44:45,920
to Rashad White. 
So it's not great, but the 

858
00:44:45,920 --> 00:44:47,560
workload to match up are too 
good to pass on. 

859
00:44:47,560 --> 00:44:49,600
This week we'll switch over to 
the passing game. 

860
00:44:50,440 --> 00:44:53,000
Baker's really been struggling. 
He's been below 200 yards 

861
00:44:53,000 --> 00:44:55,720
passing and failed to throw for 
multiple touchdowns in five of 

862
00:44:55,720 --> 00:44:57,920
his last six. 
And this wasn't some murderer's 

863
00:44:57,920 --> 00:44:59,440
row. 
It was Zona, Carolina and 

864
00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:00,960
Atlanta he faced in that 
stretch. 

865
00:45:01,440 --> 00:45:04,880
I'll keep him in play with the 
bronze just because Tampa is 

866
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:07,400
still alive for the NFC South 
here in the match of the solid 

867
00:45:07,880 --> 00:45:10,280
in Miami's four-game since the 
buy, only Brady Cook failed to 

868
00:45:10,280 --> 00:45:13,120
throw for multiple touchdowns. 
That includes Tyler Shuck and 

869
00:45:13,120 --> 00:45:15,560
Aaron Rodgers kind of guys at 
Baker's tier. 

870
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,600
The receivers. 
Mike Evans gets a gold. 

871
00:45:18,160 --> 00:45:20,560
He immediately regained wide 
receiver one status in Tampa. 

872
00:45:20,600 --> 00:45:23,400
He's got 21 targets in his first
pair of games back from injury, 

873
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:25,440
putting him back a buk on the 
bench. 

874
00:45:25,920 --> 00:45:29,560
He has 0 touchdowns in just one 
game, clearing 42 yards since 

875
00:45:29,560 --> 00:45:31,280
week 10. 
I can't trust him in fantasy 

876
00:45:31,280 --> 00:45:33,720
title week. 
Chris Godwin does get a bronze. 

877
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,080
He's averaged over 10 PPR points
in the past four matchups, good 

878
00:45:37,080 --> 00:45:39,320
for Bucks whiteouts. 
Miami's let six different 

879
00:45:39,320 --> 00:45:42,600
receivers clear 100 yards or 
score in the three non Brady 

880
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:46,720
Cook games since their bye week.
Flipping over to Miami, we just 

881
00:45:46,920 --> 00:45:49,160
have three guys here. 
Obviously Devon, A Chan as a 

882
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:52,480
goal, Awesome play. 
My only note here, Tampa allows 

883
00:45:52,480 --> 00:45:54,840
the most running back receptions
in the league and A Chan leads 

884
00:45:54,840 --> 00:45:57,440
the Dolphins in catches. 
So maybe, maybe he's a platinum.

885
00:45:57,920 --> 00:46:00,080
And then in the passing game, 
the only two guys to consider 

886
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:02,200
here are Jalen Waddle and Darren
Waller. 

887
00:46:02,760 --> 00:46:05,720
Waller gets a commercial bronze.
He mostly whiffed in the dream 

888
00:46:05,720 --> 00:46:07,520
tight end match up last week 
with Cincinnati. 

889
00:46:07,880 --> 00:46:10,720
However, he does get another 
favorable spot here against the 

890
00:46:10,720 --> 00:46:13,200
Bucks tight end defense, giving 
up the 4th most touchdowns and 

891
00:46:13,200 --> 00:46:16,440
10th most catches to tight ends.
So if you really need one, he's 

892
00:46:16,600 --> 00:46:19,200
he's in there a bit a bit. 
I will give Waddle of bronze as 

893
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:21,280
well and Quinn viewers first 
start. 

894
00:46:21,480 --> 00:46:24,400
He peppered Waddle with 9 
targets, which was Waddle's most

895
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:26,920
since week 9:00. 
So at least somebody knows where

896
00:46:26,920 --> 00:46:28,360
the good players are located on 
the field. 

897
00:46:29,040 --> 00:46:32,800
Ted McMillan just hit Tampa for 
73 and one last week and wide 

898
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:35,360
receiver won Kyle Pitts without 
Drake London a couple weeks ago.

899
00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:38,840
Had the all time game against 
the Bucks on Thursday night. 

900
00:46:39,720 --> 00:46:42,560
That all makes sense to me. 
All right, Maj. 

901
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:46,320
Unfortunately, you drew the 
short straw and you got the game

902
00:46:46,320 --> 00:46:48,880
that will decide the number one 
pick in the NFL draft. 

903
00:46:49,960 --> 00:46:54,320
It might be two teams that are 
actively trying not to score 

904
00:46:54,800 --> 00:46:56,520
with the Giants and Raiders in 
Vegas. 

905
00:46:56,720 --> 00:46:59,920
Do we just start the Giants and 
Raiders defense special teams 

906
00:46:59,920 --> 00:47:02,920
and hope for a million safeties?
Yeah, something like that. 

907
00:47:02,920 --> 00:47:06,080
I mean, the the over under here 
is 41 1/2. 

908
00:47:06,080 --> 00:47:10,800
So like a good touchdown over 
the Steelers rounds somehow. 

909
00:47:11,320 --> 00:47:13,240
I mean, it's because these 
defenses are bad. 

910
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:16,120
But yeah, to your point, it's 
like you kind of feel like you 

911
00:47:16,120 --> 00:47:19,040
got to take the under on this 
one as they battle. 

912
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:21,240
I mean, with the Giants, at 
least they, you know, they've 

913
00:47:21,320 --> 00:47:23,640
they've sort of got their 
quarterback figured out, whereas

914
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:26,920
the the Raiders do not. 
But of course want that value, 

915
00:47:26,920 --> 00:47:30,840
that first pick. 
So anyway, so in this one, the 

916
00:47:30,840 --> 00:47:32,880
Raiders are actually a point and
a half favorite. 

917
00:47:32,880 --> 00:47:34,840
I don't know if they've been a 
favorite yet this year. 

918
00:47:34,840 --> 00:47:39,280
So good, good on y'all Raiders. 
So for we'll start with the 

919
00:47:39,280 --> 00:47:41,120
Giants being the visiting team 
here. 

920
00:47:41,280 --> 00:47:43,400
So they've got an implied team 
total of 20. 

921
00:47:43,400 --> 00:47:46,680
That means Jackson darts a 
silver grade in this one. 

922
00:47:47,000 --> 00:47:51,920
He was just awful last week, in 
part because the Giants called 

923
00:47:51,920 --> 00:47:56,080
just 13 pass plays the entire 
game against the Vikings and 

924
00:47:56,080 --> 00:47:57,600
their league leading pass 
defense. 

925
00:47:58,800 --> 00:48:01,680
The Raiders provide just a 
little bit less resistance in 

926
00:48:01,680 --> 00:48:04,280
the past game than than the 
Vikings. 

927
00:48:04,800 --> 00:48:07,320
You know, Dart's still among the
league leaders in fantasy points

928
00:48:07,320 --> 00:48:10,360
per game at the position since 
he took over as starter. 

929
00:48:10,360 --> 00:48:14,160
But teams just run so well 
against Las Vegas and we saw 

930
00:48:14,160 --> 00:48:16,480
that game plan just last week 
against the Vikings. 

931
00:48:16,480 --> 00:48:19,160
So I just think the upsides 
capped a bit, which is why he's 

932
00:48:19,160 --> 00:48:22,600
just a silver. 
With him as a silver, that means

933
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:24,360
Wandale Robinson is just a 
bronze. 

934
00:48:24,360 --> 00:48:27,880
He did still get 6 targets in 
last week's run fest, and that 

935
00:48:27,880 --> 00:48:31,200
was his lowest number since Week
8, but his yardage has been at 

936
00:48:31,200 --> 00:48:34,160
36 or less three times in his 
last five games. 

937
00:48:34,160 --> 00:48:37,560
He's only got 4 touchdowns all 
season, so really a lower floor 

938
00:48:37,560 --> 00:48:39,360
here than you'd like to have in 
your title game. 

939
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:42,800
Benching Darius Slayton, his 
floor is even lower than 

940
00:48:42,800 --> 00:48:44,760
Robinson's. 
He's got just one touchdown all 

941
00:48:44,760 --> 00:48:46,520
year. 
I will give a bronze to Theo 

942
00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:48,760
Johnson. 
He played 100% of the snaps last

943
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:50,240
week for the first time all 
year. 

944
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:54,880
The two targets he had were his 
fewest since Week 3, but he does

945
00:48:54,880 --> 00:48:58,560
have 70 yards or more in three 
of his last six games. 

946
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,440
Raiders solid against tight 
ends, only 6 scored a lot of it 

947
00:49:01,440 --> 00:49:04,520
all season. 
Johnson, he's gone six straight 

948
00:49:04,520 --> 00:49:07,960
scoreless, so hence just the 
bronze there in the run game. 

949
00:49:07,960 --> 00:49:11,160
Tyrone Tracy's a silver. 
He's got the higher snapshare 

950
00:49:11,160 --> 00:49:13,880
than singletary now in every 
game he hasn't left early in 

951
00:49:13,880 --> 00:49:17,480
since Week 10 and 18 or more 
opportunities in each of those 

952
00:49:17,480 --> 00:49:20,320
games. 
The Raiders have allowed 15 

953
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:23,520
running back rushing scores. 
Tracy. 

954
00:49:23,800 --> 00:49:26,200
Tracy only has two rushing 
scores all season. 

955
00:49:27,080 --> 00:49:30,520
That is kind of Devon Singletary
territory if they do get right 

956
00:49:30,520 --> 00:49:33,320
on the goal line. 
But I'm not going to start 

957
00:49:33,320 --> 00:49:35,760
Singletary at this point. 
I thought a handful of weeks ago

958
00:49:35,840 --> 00:49:38,320
that that split might have 
started to lean in his favor, 

959
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:40,000
especially after the Tracy 
injury. 

960
00:49:40,440 --> 00:49:43,360
That didn't happen because two 
weeks ago we only had six 

961
00:49:43,360 --> 00:49:47,280
touches, but then he bounced 
right back to getting work last 

962
00:49:47,280 --> 00:49:48,360
week. 
He's got 12 or more 

963
00:49:48,360 --> 00:49:50,560
opportunities in four of his 
last five games. 

964
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:54,920
But because Tracy's getting much
more of that passing game work, 

965
00:49:55,320 --> 00:49:59,480
you know, Tracy's singletary's 
looking at, you know, 40 yards 

966
00:49:59,480 --> 00:50:01,360
and then coin flip at a 
touchdown. 

967
00:50:01,640 --> 00:50:04,920
Not something you necessarily 
want for your fantasy title 

968
00:50:04,920 --> 00:50:07,360
game. 
So Maj., are you saying the the 

969
00:50:07,640 --> 00:50:11,720
inside the five infrared zone is
the single territory? 

970
00:50:12,520 --> 00:50:14,720
That is what I'm saying. 
I'm saying that exactly took the

971
00:50:14,720 --> 00:50:17,240
words right out of my mouth. 
That's pretty good, man. 

972
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:20,200
Top of the Dome two days before 
Christmas on his third part of 

973
00:50:20,200 --> 00:50:23,240
the day and he's just rang out 
elite content like that. 

974
00:50:23,240 --> 00:50:25,560
It's woo twice the best. 
Yeah, Matt. 

975
00:50:25,600 --> 00:50:29,520
Matt has grown a goatee during 
the course of his podcast 3. 

976
00:50:29,840 --> 00:50:33,640
He was clean shaven when his 
podcast started here on the 20. 

977
00:50:33,680 --> 00:50:36,960
3rd I, I, I was thinking since 
we're, we're recording three 

978
00:50:36,960 --> 00:50:39,680
pods today, I'm recording three 
pods today that I was going to 

979
00:50:39,680 --> 00:50:42,800
change my facial hair throughout
the pods and we're recording 

980
00:50:42,800 --> 00:50:45,000
them out of order too. 
So it would have been really 

981
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:49,080
weird if I had a clean shaven 
face for the one that's first 

982
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,960
and and a mustache at the end. 
Who knows? 

983
00:50:50,960 --> 00:50:53,720
I don't know. 
Yeah, I almost came back after 

984
00:50:53,720 --> 00:50:56,360
that Bears game on Saturday. 
I almost decided to come as 

985
00:50:56,360 --> 00:50:58,560
Ditka this week, just all week 
after work. 

986
00:50:58,560 --> 00:51:02,560
But yeah, so that's a lot of 
keeping up with the facial hair.

987
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:04,600
It's just it wasn't, it wasn't 
worth the time. 

988
00:51:04,920 --> 00:51:06,360
And it's been so warm here and 
Denver. 

989
00:51:06,360 --> 00:51:07,400
I didn't want to wear the 
sweater. 

990
00:51:07,400 --> 00:51:10,000
I wanted this, the T-shirt. 
I mean, you could wear the 

991
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,240
sweater vest without the shirt 
underneath. 

992
00:51:12,360 --> 00:51:14,080
It's not a vest though, it's the
full sweater. 

993
00:51:14,080 --> 00:51:17,040
I don't have the vest. 
Oh, that's a bummer. 

994
00:51:17,160 --> 00:51:21,320
Yeah, that's I'll add that to 
next year's holiday list. 

995
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:26,440
Where were we? 
Raiders Las Vegas implied team 

996
00:51:26,440 --> 00:51:30,360
total of 21 1/2 points. 
I've got 2 gold grades on this 

997
00:51:30,360 --> 00:51:32,480
team. 
Geno Smith is not one of them. 

998
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:34,680
I've got him on the bench. 
I honestly love the match up. 

999
00:51:34,680 --> 00:51:37,800
He's at home, but he hasn't 
topped 23 attempts in his last 

1000
00:51:37,800 --> 00:51:40,120
three games. 
He's barely averaging more than 

1001
00:51:40,120 --> 00:51:42,000
200 yards passing a game this 
season. 

1002
00:51:42,000 --> 00:51:46,200
It's like 2O3 and also only two 
games all year with more than 

1003
00:51:46,200 --> 00:51:48,760
two touchdown passes and none 
since Week 9. 

1004
00:51:48,760 --> 00:51:51,360
So there's just no ceiling and 
on the floors that low. 

1005
00:51:51,400 --> 00:51:52,880
Yeah. 
Not not somebody you want to 

1006
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:54,800
start. 
Trey Tucker, bench and him as 

1007
00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:56,560
well. 
Just one touchdown since Week 3.

1008
00:51:56,560 --> 00:51:58,880
No games over 47 yards since 
Week 6. 

1009
00:51:58,880 --> 00:52:02,680
And that's despite being the 
leading receiver as far as snaps

1010
00:52:02,680 --> 00:52:04,920
shares go. 
I would keep an eye on Jack 

1011
00:52:04,920 --> 00:52:06,360
Vetch here. 
Jack Beck. 

1012
00:52:06,360 --> 00:52:09,520
Beck Bench, whatever, I've got 
him on the bench, but he has 

1013
00:52:09,520 --> 00:52:12,960
taken over #2 wide receiver 
duties, benched. 

1014
00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:17,200
Dante, yeah, bench, benched. 
But yeah, he might be 1. 

1015
00:52:17,200 --> 00:52:19,320
If you're in a dynasty league 
and you can still pick up guys 

1016
00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:21,680
and you've got some stash room, 
he might be somebody to hang on 

1017
00:52:21,680 --> 00:52:24,360
to you just to see. 
Only three targets in three of 

1018
00:52:24,360 --> 00:52:26,640
his last four games, a high 
watermark of 50 yards. 

1019
00:52:26,640 --> 00:52:28,720
But he's getting some work, and 
they might have a good 

1020
00:52:28,720 --> 00:52:31,400
quarterback, you know, coming to
start a next season. 

1021
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:33,760
So we'll see. 
Brock Bowers, I'm keeping the 

1022
00:52:33,760 --> 00:52:36,440
gold grade on. 
The Giants have actually been 

1023
00:52:36,440 --> 00:52:39,520
decent against tight ends. 
Only 4.6 receptions per game 

1024
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,280
allowed and five touchdowns to 
the position overall. 

1025
00:52:42,280 --> 00:52:45,320
But you got Bowers on a heater 
right now. 4 scores in his last 

1026
00:52:45,320 --> 00:52:48,080
four games, at least four 
reception in in each of his last

1027
00:52:48,280 --> 00:52:51,240
six games. 
So you you plug and play Bowers 

1028
00:52:51,640 --> 00:52:53,920
on the Gentie side. 
I've got my other gold grade 

1029
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:55,280
here. 
This one's interesting. 

1030
00:52:55,280 --> 00:52:58,800
And actually, Trevor kind of 
started touching on this in the 

1031
00:52:58,840 --> 00:53:02,800
tough nuts section. 
I should keep touching and tough

1032
00:53:02,800 --> 00:53:04,720
nuts away from each other in 
future sentences. 

1033
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,920
The the the offensive line here 
has gone through this shift in 

1034
00:53:09,920 --> 00:53:13,040
these last three weeks. 
So it was just it was a mess. 

1035
00:53:13,040 --> 00:53:16,360
They lost Colton Miller and 
Jackson Powers Johnson injuries 

1036
00:53:16,360 --> 00:53:20,480
in Weeks 4 and 10, respectively.
And they just would not play 

1037
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:25,480
their third round draft pick, 
rookie Caleb Rogers. 

1038
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:30,320
Just he was doing so bad that 
that Pete Carroll was just like,

1039
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,520
Nope, can't. 
He's looked so bad in practice. 

1040
00:53:32,520 --> 00:53:34,320
It would be a disservice to the 
team to play him. 

1041
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:37,360
Meanwhile, it was a huge 
disservice to the team to 

1042
00:53:37,360 --> 00:53:40,160
continue to play the guys that 
they were playing instead, 

1043
00:53:40,160 --> 00:53:45,680
Jordan Meredith and Will Putnam.
And so finally, you know, they 

1044
00:53:45,680 --> 00:53:48,040
had to cry uncle. 
Alex Kaplasin's taken over at 

1045
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:49,920
center. 
Rogers came in at right guard. 

1046
00:53:49,920 --> 00:53:52,520
And there's actually been some 
consistency now for a couple 

1047
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:55,160
weeks. 
And we saw that actually, you 

1048
00:53:55,160 --> 00:53:58,240
know, bear fruit against that 
Texans defense that who would 

1049
00:53:58,240 --> 00:54:00,800
have thought? 
Ashton Genti, who I did play 

1050
00:54:00,800 --> 00:54:02,160
against last week. 
Thank you for that. 

1051
00:54:02,160 --> 00:54:05,640
Ashton Genti. 
Congrats to Ryan Bozer on on 

1052
00:54:05,640 --> 00:54:09,280
that. 
So you look at who they played, 

1053
00:54:09,280 --> 00:54:12,040
all right, rough match ups 
against Philly, Denver, Chargers

1054
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:15,240
and Brown's defense all in a 
row, you know? 

1055
00:54:15,240 --> 00:54:18,800
And then the Texans, the last 
time they played an easy run 

1056
00:54:18,800 --> 00:54:21,600
defense was Dallas in Week 10. 
And Gen. 

1057
00:54:21,600 --> 00:54:25,920
Z did terrible, 7 scoreless 
yards and he caught six of eight

1058
00:54:25,920 --> 00:54:28,680
targets for 27. 
But that was with that old 

1059
00:54:29,000 --> 00:54:32,600
offensive line configuration. 
Now they've maybe figured 

1060
00:54:32,600 --> 00:54:35,040
something out. 
They like I said, just torched 

1061
00:54:35,040 --> 00:54:39,680
the Texans in Houston and now go
against a much worse sieve 

1062
00:54:39,680 --> 00:54:42,960
Giants defense giving up the 
most yards per carry and second 

1063
00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:45,520
most running back combo yards 
allowed all season. 

1064
00:54:45,760 --> 00:54:49,600
Like Genzi went from like you 
stardom because of volume and 

1065
00:54:49,600 --> 00:54:54,000
hope for the best to holy crap, 
like he could be the RB-1 this 

1066
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:55,960
week, like in the course of a 
week here. 

1067
00:54:55,960 --> 00:54:58,200
It's crazy. 
So, you know, if you're looking 

1068
00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,080
at this like, oh, was it a, you 
know, he just popped off for one

1069
00:55:01,080 --> 00:55:02,240
game. 
It was an outlier. 

1070
00:55:02,240 --> 00:55:05,160
It's weird. 
Totally possible because it's 

1071
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,520
not like this offensive line is,
you know, Herculean by any 

1072
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:10,520
means. 
But they may have figured 

1073
00:55:10,520 --> 00:55:13,120
something out here and going, 
you know, using the momentum 

1074
00:55:13,120 --> 00:55:15,120
from last week and going against
this bad defense. 

1075
00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:16,960
I think it's going to be another
big game for Gen. 

1076
00:55:16,960 --> 00:55:20,360
Z. 
All right, I I'm hoping for 

1077
00:55:20,360 --> 00:55:22,720
Genti. 
I got him in one of my fantasy 

1078
00:55:22,720 --> 00:55:26,160
finals this week. 
So let's let's go Ashton Genti. 

1079
00:55:27,240 --> 00:55:31,560
Hey, fantasy football season is 
almost over, but fantasy golf 

1080
00:55:31,560 --> 00:55:34,880
season is just about to begin. 
We got a huge fantasy golf 

1081
00:55:34,880 --> 00:55:37,440
contest and my friend Pat Mayo 
is going to tell you about it 

1082
00:55:37,440 --> 00:55:40,160
right now all. 
Right people, it's that time of 

1083
00:55:40,160 --> 00:55:43,200
year again. 
The Mayo Cup is officially open.

1084
00:55:43,480 --> 00:55:45,800
That's right, your yearly 
reminder that you could win life

1085
00:55:45,800 --> 00:55:49,080
changing money if you stop 
making coward picks and actually

1086
00:55:49,080 --> 00:55:51,720
commit to greatness. 
Let's talk stakes. 

1087
00:55:51,880 --> 00:55:53,960
Is the Mayo Cup not messing 
around? 

1088
00:55:54,280 --> 00:56:03,280
$110,000 to 1st place. 110,000 
actual real dollars, and with 

1089
00:56:03,280 --> 00:56:07,600
your $250 entry, you're playing 
for a prize pool of $1.2 

1090
00:56:07,600 --> 00:56:10,880
million. 
That seven figures of pure, 

1091
00:56:11,120 --> 00:56:14,680
delicious fantasy golf sweat. 
And this season, the Mayo Cup is

1092
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:16,880
fully available in the Fan Ball 
app. 

1093
00:56:17,080 --> 00:56:19,080
Week to week. 
Picks, leaderboard sweats, 

1094
00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:21,480
berating yourself or feeding the
guy who wins by 6. 

1095
00:56:21,560 --> 00:56:24,760
You can do it all right from 
your phone, so head to the Fan 

1096
00:56:24,760 --> 00:56:27,720
Ball app, search for the Mayo 
Cup and get yourself entered. 

1097
00:56:27,720 --> 00:56:34,680

to the winner, just $250 to 

1098
00:56:34,720 --> 00:56:36,160
play. 
This is the year. 

1099
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:39,840
Unless you blow it again, but 
hey, you might not sign up now. 

1100
00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:42,280
The contest Tees off January 
15th. 

1101
00:56:46,520 --> 00:56:49,160
Woo. 
I love me some one and done 

1102
00:56:49,160 --> 00:56:52,360
fantasy golf. 
And by the way, if you go to my 

1103
00:56:52,360 --> 00:56:56,920
pinned tweet at explosive output
and you want to play in a $25 

1104
00:56:56,920 --> 00:57:00,160
one and done contest with me, 
I'm hosting one. 

1105
00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:02,480
It's called the one T Open. 
Come play with me. 

1106
00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,440
It's limited to 40 people. 
I think we're about 1/4 full 

1107
00:57:05,440 --> 00:57:06,560
already. 
Maj. 

1108
00:57:06,560 --> 00:57:10,040
Trevor, if you want to get into 
it too, you're I need to reserve

1109
00:57:10,040 --> 00:57:12,360
my entry shortly here before. 
Listeners, fill it up. 

1110
00:57:13,280 --> 00:57:15,160
It's it's it's a pretty fun way 
to play. 

1111
00:57:15,520 --> 00:57:17,920
Go check my Twitter if you want 
to join me in that contest. 

1112
00:57:18,480 --> 00:57:22,560
All right, the Eagles and Bills 
seem to play what should be a 

1113
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:25,160
really good game. 
It's one of the two afternoon 

1114
00:57:25,160 --> 00:57:29,400
games, but this game means 
absolutely nothing to the 

1115
00:57:29,400 --> 00:57:31,400
Eagles. 
So how do we treat them in this 

1116
00:57:31,400 --> 00:57:35,800
game in Buffalo? 
I, I, I really kind of dug into 

1117
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:38,680
like their injury reports and 
what they're planning on doing. 

1118
00:57:39,280 --> 00:57:42,600
And the Eagles are looking to 
bring back Lane Johnson and 

1119
00:57:42,600 --> 00:57:47,200
Jaylen Carter this week. 
And you don't do that if you're 

1120
00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:48,760
resting guys. 
You don't. 

1121
00:57:48,760 --> 00:57:52,120
You don't bring back two guys 
who are key to your offensive 

1122
00:57:52,120 --> 00:57:55,280
and defensive line if you're 
resting guys for that week. 

1123
00:57:55,280 --> 00:57:58,440
So they might be resting guys 
going into Week 18. 

1124
00:57:58,760 --> 00:58:00,360
I don't think they will be this 
week. 

1125
00:58:00,360 --> 00:58:02,200
I've got a gold grade on Saquon 
Barkley. 

1126
00:58:02,200 --> 00:58:05,600
That means he's coming off his 
second best day of the season. 

1127
00:58:06,040 --> 00:58:09,200
It was last week in Washington. 
The Bills are terrible against 

1128
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:13,200
the round. 5.2 yards per carry, 
third worst, the 4th most 

1129
00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:16,720
rushing yards allowed and the 
most rushing scorers allowed 

1130
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:19,320
this season. 
So easy goal for Saquon. 

1131
00:58:19,320 --> 00:58:23,320
Let's hope he gets there. 
Jalen Hertz gets a bronze. 

1132
00:58:23,880 --> 00:58:27,880
The Bills being bad at defending
the run does extend to the 

1133
00:58:27,880 --> 00:58:30,240
quarterback position. 
They've allowed the 4th most 

1134
00:58:30,240 --> 00:58:33,800
rushing yards to quarterbacks as
well and that's why Hertz is 

1135
00:58:33,800 --> 00:58:36,840
startable here because it's 
really hard to pass against the 

1136
00:58:36,840 --> 00:58:39,120
Bills. 
They've allowed the fewest pass 

1137
00:58:39,120 --> 00:58:42,400
yards in the league and the 4th 
fewest touchdown passes. 

1138
00:58:42,680 --> 00:58:45,640
They're averaging, or I should 
say opposing quarterbacks are 

1139
00:58:45,640 --> 00:58:50,800
averaging 181 yards and just 
over 1 score per game, so that's

1140
00:58:50,800 --> 00:58:54,080
why it's just a bronze. 
Hertz is only averaging 207 

1141
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:57,040
yards per game anyway. 
His rushing yards keep him 

1142
00:58:57,040 --> 00:58:59,520
alive, so he's just a bronze 
grade in this one. 

1143
00:59:01,400 --> 00:59:03,120
A.J. 
Brown has double digit targets 

1144
00:59:03,120 --> 00:59:08,000
in five of the last six games 
and he's hit 95 yards in four of

1145
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,440
the last five. 
But as stated, the Bills are 

1146
00:59:10,440 --> 00:59:13,920
tough to pass against their top 
ten in receiving yards and 

1147
00:59:13,920 --> 00:59:15,760
touchdowns allowed to wide 
receivers. 

1148
00:59:16,040 --> 00:59:18,000
So just a bronze grade for A.J. 
Brown. 

1149
00:59:18,160 --> 00:59:20,120
His consistency keeps him 
startable. 

1150
00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,080
Devonta Smith, I think you leave
on the bench though, because he 

1151
00:59:23,080 --> 00:59:26,320
doesn't have that consistency. 
Hasn't topped 50 yards in a 

1152
00:59:26,320 --> 00:59:29,720
month, and despite scoring last 
week, it was his first touchdown

1153
00:59:29,720 --> 00:59:33,120
since Week 10. 
Dallas Goddard has scored three 

1154
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:36,680
times in the past two weeks 
against two terrible defenses. 

1155
00:59:37,040 --> 00:59:39,320
But the Bills tight end defense 
is elite. 

1156
00:59:39,320 --> 00:59:42,560
They're the best in the league. 
Number one in receptions allowed

1157
00:59:42,880 --> 00:59:45,840
#2 in receiving yards and 
touchdowns allowed to tight 

1158
00:59:45,840 --> 00:59:49,640
ends. 
However, Harold Fannon scored 

1159
00:59:49,640 --> 00:59:52,640
last week. 
Mike Gasicki scored against them

1160
00:59:52,880 --> 00:59:55,800
three weeks ago. 
I'm going to put a commercial 

1161
00:59:55,800 --> 01:00:00,080
bronze grade on Goddard, but he 
basically needs a score or that 

1162
01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:02,720
won't hit. 
So if you believe Goddard can 

1163
01:00:02,720 --> 01:00:05,960
get to that score, I think he 
might be the touchdown pass 

1164
01:00:05,960 --> 01:00:08,280
receiver here if they give up 
one. 

1165
01:00:08,840 --> 01:00:12,880
That's why he gets the bronze. 
Josh Allen is going to be in 

1166
01:00:12,880 --> 01:00:16,160
your line up, but he has a foot 
injury and it's a pretty tough 

1167
01:00:16,160 --> 01:00:18,400
match up. 
The Eagles allow the fewest 

1168
01:00:18,400 --> 01:00:21,680
passing scores in the league and
are only giving up 205 passing 

1169
01:00:21,680 --> 01:00:24,160
yards per game. 
They do allow the sixth most 

1170
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:26,120
rushing yards. 
These two defenses are very 

1171
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:30,240
similar, by the way. 
DAC, Baker and Stafford are the 

1172
01:00:30,320 --> 01:00:33,360
only players with multiple 
touchdown passes against the 

1173
01:00:33,360 --> 01:00:36,280
Eagles this year, so it's a 
silver grade for Allen. 

1174
01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,520
That's as low as you can go on 
Josh Allen, but you're still 

1175
01:00:38,520 --> 01:00:40,120
starting him in a fantasy 
championship. 

1176
01:00:41,520 --> 01:00:43,600
I don't want to play any of his 
receivers, though. 

1177
01:00:43,680 --> 01:00:46,480
Shakur would be the best option,
but his target totals over the 

1178
01:00:46,480 --> 01:00:51,440
last month have been 553 and 
four, and that's not enough to 

1179
01:00:51,440 --> 01:00:53,960
get it done. 
Dalton Kincaid only had one 

1180
01:00:53,960 --> 01:00:57,600
target last week. 
Dawson Knox had two and Philly 

1181
01:00:57,600 --> 01:01:00,520
is the 6th toughest wide 
receiver defense and the second 

1182
01:01:00,520 --> 01:01:04,200
toughest tight end defense. 
None of those guys are in play. 

1183
01:01:04,720 --> 01:01:06,200
James Cook is in your line UPS 
though. 

1184
01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:08,720
He gets a gold grade. 
He's coming off 2 match ups 

1185
01:01:08,880 --> 01:01:13,000
against two absolutely stud run 
defenses in New England and 

1186
01:01:13,000 --> 01:01:15,160
Cleveland. 
Just in the last two weeks he 

1187
01:01:15,160 --> 01:01:18,040
had one O 7 and two on the 
ground against the Pats. 

1188
01:01:18,280 --> 01:01:22,720
Added a receiving score in that 
game too. 117 and two on the 

1189
01:01:22,720 --> 01:01:24,480
ground against the Browns last 
week. 

1190
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:28,400
Had that highlight reel rushing 
touchdown that everybody was 

1191
01:01:28,400 --> 01:01:31,240
talking about where he missed. 
Made like five guys miss him. 

1192
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:37,440
He dinged Houston and Pittsburgh
to two more top 10 rush defenses

1193
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:40,120
for over 100 yards in the last 
month as well. 

1194
01:01:40,520 --> 01:01:43,480
The Eagles have struggled even 
more recently against the run. 

1195
01:01:43,760 --> 01:01:48,160
Bill and Chris Rodriguez 
combined for 94 combo yards and 

1196
01:01:48,160 --> 01:01:51,480
two scores last week. 
Both Chargers backs hit double 

1197
01:01:51,480 --> 01:01:55,720
digit PPR points. 
Swift and Monongi ran for 255 

1198
01:01:55,720 --> 01:01:58,560
yards and two scores against 
them just about a month ago. 

1199
01:01:58,880 --> 01:02:01,400
So James Cook a gold grade in 
this one. 

1200
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:06,280
Trevor, your final match up. 
This one looks pretty 

1201
01:02:06,280 --> 01:02:08,960
interesting. 
It's the Bears and the 49ers. 

1202
01:02:08,960 --> 01:02:12,400
Both of these teams have outside
shots at stealing the number one

1203
01:02:12,400 --> 01:02:16,720
seed in the NFC for fantasy. 
What parts of the Bears offense 

1204
01:02:16,720 --> 01:02:20,360
can you actually trust? 
Because while Caleb's putting up

1205
01:02:20,360 --> 01:02:25,360
some huge days in, in reality, 
his fantasy numbers aren't. 

1206
01:02:25,680 --> 01:02:28,240
The best in the world, they're 
not. 

1207
01:02:28,600 --> 01:02:30,720
So we will start there. 
I'll give Caleb a silver. 

1208
01:02:31,240 --> 01:02:33,240
He I do think he is playing the 
best ball of his career. 

1209
01:02:33,240 --> 01:02:36,440
I agree it hasn't totally 
materialized in the stat sheet a

1210
01:02:36,440 --> 01:02:38,960
ton, but he does have multiple 
touchdown passes and three 

1211
01:02:38,960 --> 01:02:40,680
straight games and no picks in 
that time. 

1212
01:02:41,160 --> 01:02:42,960
And two of those games and all 
three of those games were 

1213
01:02:42,960 --> 01:02:45,040
against quality defenses. 
Twice, Green Bay and then 

1214
01:02:45,040 --> 01:02:47,800
Cleveland once. 
And since they're by San 

1215
01:02:47,800 --> 01:02:50,560
Francisco's allowed, Cam Ward 
and Phil Rivers took them by for

1216
01:02:50,560 --> 01:02:54,360
a 64% completion rate, nearly 
225 passing yards per game, and 

1217
01:02:54,360 --> 01:02:56,040
they gave up two passing 
touchdowns to both of those 

1218
01:02:56,040 --> 01:02:57,200
guys. 
And you can argue those are two 

1219
01:02:57,200 --> 01:03:00,080
of the worst 7-8 fantasy 
quarterbacks in the league right

1220
01:03:00,080 --> 01:03:02,520
now. 
Here's where it gets tricky. 

1221
01:03:03,680 --> 01:03:07,120
So neither Roma Dunze nor Luther
Burden practice last week. 

1222
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:09,680
They were both ruled out. 
Obviously it's Tuesday, we don't

1223
01:03:09,680 --> 01:03:12,200
totally know what their practice
report looks like yet this week 

1224
01:03:12,480 --> 01:03:14,760
without both of them. 
Last week, Chicago went heavy 2 

1225
01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:18,040
tight ends with Colson Loveland 
and Cole Comet seeing over 75% 

1226
01:03:18,040 --> 01:03:20,680
of the snaps and then DJ Moore 
and Zacchaeus were basically 

1227
01:03:20,680 --> 01:03:23,600
locked into the 2 receiver sets.
It's a great match up there as 

1228
01:03:23,600 --> 01:03:25,760
San Francisco's bottom 3rd and 
catches and receiving yards 

1229
01:03:25,760 --> 01:03:27,520
allowed to receivers. 
So it's a decent match up for 

1230
01:03:27,520 --> 01:03:29,120
these guys, which depends on who
plays. 

1231
01:03:29,120 --> 01:03:31,040
So here, here's where we get to 
the ifs. 

1232
01:03:31,400 --> 01:03:34,760
If it's just roam back Rome and 
DJ more get bronzes. 

1233
01:03:35,240 --> 01:03:38,640
If it's just burdened back 
bronzes unburdened and DJ more. 

1234
01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,560
If both return, it's just Rome 
and DJ more. 

1235
01:03:42,200 --> 01:03:46,160
If neither returns, upgrade DJ 
more to a silver as he's cleared

1236
01:03:46,160 --> 01:03:48,920
21 PPR points and three of his 
last five and would get every 

1237
01:03:48,920 --> 01:03:51,200
snap receiver treatment. 
The other two games though were 

1238
01:03:51,200 --> 01:03:53,640
complete duds that he had at 5 
and one points so just be 

1239
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:55,960
careful. 
So I like in order to give me 

1240
01:03:55,960 --> 01:04:01,040
more a Dunze burden and more to 
Silver if the other two are out.

1241
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:03,640
That was a pretty good flow 
chart there, Trevor. 

1242
01:04:03,640 --> 01:04:04,960
Good. 
Job it was OK, I'm glad. 

1243
01:04:05,920 --> 01:04:07,640
It looks really bad. 
It like, I don't know, it's 

1244
01:04:07,640 --> 01:04:09,480
just, it's just sentences and 
sentences. 

1245
01:04:09,480 --> 01:04:11,880
It's a lot of excel. 
If, then statements there 

1246
01:04:11,880 --> 01:04:14,480
haven't. 
You you should hear my Packers 

1247
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:19,360
wide receiver match up in the 
other fantasy Christmas episode.

1248
01:04:19,360 --> 01:04:20,560
If Watson? 
If Yeah. 

1249
01:04:21,800 --> 01:04:24,000
So this one's easy. 
Colston Loveland gets a bronze. 

1250
01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:25,640
Either way. 
He has at least three catches in

1251
01:04:25,640 --> 01:04:27,800
10 straight games. 
The Niners are at bottom half 

1252
01:04:27,880 --> 01:04:30,080
defense against catches and 
yards allowed to tight ends. 

1253
01:04:30,560 --> 01:04:32,840
They've actually given up 9 
touchdowns to Titans this year, 

1254
01:04:32,840 --> 01:04:33,920
which is fifth worst in the 
league. 

1255
01:04:34,480 --> 01:04:39,800
And DeAndre Swift get some 
bronze as well. 15 plus touches 

1256
01:04:39,800 --> 01:04:42,360
and four straight for Swift. 
San Francisco recently allowed 

1257
01:04:42,360 --> 01:04:46,160
Titans backs to give them 151 
combo yards and a touchdown and 

1258
01:04:46,160 --> 01:04:48,600
then Browns backs combined for 
149 combo yards. 

1259
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:49,920
That's just in the last three 
games. 

1260
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:52,800
Kyle Manon guy hasn't seen more 
than 12 PPR points since week 

1261
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:54,760
nine against Cincinnati. 
When he got all the touches. 

1262
01:04:54,760 --> 01:04:57,960
He is on the bench flipping over
to the other side. 

1263
01:04:58,520 --> 01:05:00,760
The rock Purdy. 
He gets silver in the Niners 

1264
01:05:00,760 --> 01:05:02,560
pass game, rocks back to full 
health. 

1265
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:05,960
He's balling right now. 
He's got 590 yards and eight 

1266
01:05:05,960 --> 01:05:07,720
touchdowns combined in his past 
two games. 

1267
01:05:08,200 --> 01:05:10,320
Chicago's hemorrhaging passing 
touchdowns this year having 

1268
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,760
already allowed 28, which is a 
bottom 5 mark. 

1269
01:05:13,160 --> 01:05:15,120
Bears have also permitted 
permitted the second most QB 

1270
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:17,800
rush yards this season, which is
notable because now that Purdy's

1271
01:05:17,800 --> 01:05:20,640
kind of healthy and moving, he's
actually picked up 55 ground 

1272
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:23,600
yards in the past two combined. 
Biggest part of the passing game

1273
01:05:23,600 --> 01:05:27,240
is the running back at CMC. 
He's a go, you're playing him. 

1274
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:30,600
Jawan Jennings gets a silver. 
He's been excellent recently. 

1275
01:05:30,600 --> 01:05:32,960
A tight end, a touchdown catch, 
and seven of his last eight. 

1276
01:05:33,560 --> 01:05:35,520
He is mostly relying on 
touchdowns though. 

1277
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:39,240
He's only got 3 games over 50 
yards in those last 8. 

1278
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:42,520
But it's a good spot to score 
though the Niners have a 27 1/2 

1279
01:05:42,520 --> 01:05:44,520
point team total. 
The Bears have already allowed 

1280
01:05:44,520 --> 01:05:47,240
nineteen wide receiver 
touchdowns, third, third most in

1281
01:05:47,240 --> 01:05:49,320
football. 
Ricky Pierce all missed last 

1282
01:05:49,320 --> 01:05:51,280
week's game, Also didn't 
practice at all last week. 

1283
01:05:51,320 --> 01:05:54,560
If he does start, I'd kind of 
throw the commercial bronze on 

1284
01:05:54,560 --> 01:05:57,040
him if you really need it. 
And the last guy we'll talk 

1285
01:05:57,040 --> 01:05:59,240
about is George Kittle. 
It's going to be interesting 

1286
01:05:59,240 --> 01:06:02,080
here. 
Kittle, I think, has A7 for 1:15

1287
01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:04,080
and 1:00 before leaving with an 
injury on Monday night. 

1288
01:06:04,160 --> 01:06:05,840
And he said it was not a high 
ankle sprain. 

1289
01:06:06,600 --> 01:06:08,600
And the Niners do kind of need 
to keep winning because they had

1290
01:06:08,600 --> 01:06:10,720
a shot, I believe, at the 
division still. 

1291
01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:13,160
So if we get where the Kittle's 
good to go, he is a goal. 

1292
01:06:13,600 --> 01:06:16,200
He's a shot at the one seed. 
Yeah, the Niners went out. 

1293
01:06:16,200 --> 01:06:20,000
They get the one seed. 
And Kittle's, you know, as tough

1294
01:06:20,000 --> 01:06:22,400
as anybody. 
So he's at double digit PPR 

1295
01:06:22,760 --> 01:06:26,360
points in eight of his last nine
games and 22 PPR and four of his

1296
01:06:26,360 --> 01:06:28,240
last 6. 
Chicago's just middle of the 

1297
01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:30,080
pack against the tight end, not 
a scary opponent. 

1298
01:06:30,120 --> 01:06:31,680
And George Kittle's, He's George
Kittle. 

1299
01:06:33,640 --> 01:06:36,400
All right, that's great. 
I, I got Kittle. 

1300
01:06:36,400 --> 01:06:40,000
I hope he's his ankle's fine. 
Let's let's roll with George 

1301
01:06:40,000 --> 01:06:42,160
Kittle. 
He he's one of just a few tight 

1302
01:06:42,160 --> 01:06:44,840
ends that gives you that crazy. 
Upside. 

1303
01:06:45,040 --> 01:06:47,080
Imagine keeping him on the bench
and then like watching him go 

1304
01:06:47,080 --> 01:06:50,640
for a 30 ball on Sunday night. 
Like, oh man, that would be 

1305
01:06:50,960 --> 01:06:53,680
brutal. 
All right, Final match up is the

1306
01:06:53,680 --> 01:06:56,600
Monday nighter as the Rams head 
to Atlanta to take on the 

1307
01:06:56,600 --> 01:06:59,200
Falcons. 
The fantasy hero last week was 

1308
01:06:59,200 --> 01:07:01,560
Puka Nakua. 
The week before it was Kyle 

1309
01:07:01,560 --> 01:07:03,960
Pitts. 
Which one of these guys will pop

1310
01:07:03,960 --> 01:07:05,440
off again? 
Maj. 

1311
01:07:06,040 --> 01:07:08,280
And I got to find who I'm 
playing against and they'll be 

1312
01:07:08,360 --> 01:07:12,880
able to tell you. 
No, I, I've been, no, I was 

1313
01:07:12,880 --> 01:07:15,960
listening carefully to your 
guys's last ones because my one 

1314
01:07:15,960 --> 01:07:20,000
title game, I've got us, I've 
got Alan Purdy and Hertz. 

1315
01:07:20,040 --> 01:07:22,320
And it's a super flex lead, so I
can start two of them. 

1316
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:25,440
I can't can't imagine benching 
Hertz or Alan. 

1317
01:07:25,440 --> 01:07:28,080
And Purdy's probably the best 
play of the three. 

1318
01:07:28,360 --> 01:07:32,200
So yeah, I'll be, I'll be 
wrestling with that one for a 

1319
01:07:32,200 --> 01:07:35,960
while. 
Here's I think I'd go Alan and 

1320
01:07:35,960 --> 01:07:38,200
Purdy and leave her on the 
bench. 

1321
01:07:38,200 --> 01:07:40,840
Yeah, yeah, a little early 
lightning around there, but 

1322
01:07:40,840 --> 01:07:42,920
yeah, I'm kind of, that's kind 
of how I'm leaning. 

1323
01:07:43,000 --> 01:07:46,680
We'll we'll see where I end up. 
But anywho, back to Rams and 

1324
01:07:46,680 --> 01:07:48,840
Falcons. 
So this one, one of the higher, 

1325
01:07:48,960 --> 01:07:51,800
if not the highest over under of
the week 49 1/2. 

1326
01:07:51,800 --> 01:07:56,160
And the Rams are 8 point 
favorites going back east again.

1327
01:07:56,160 --> 01:07:58,600
They've gone EA lot this year. 
I've played in the Eastern Time 

1328
01:07:58,600 --> 01:08:02,520
zone. 
I'm going to go with a silver on

1329
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:04,520
the silver haired Matt Stafford 
here. 

1330
01:08:05,280 --> 01:08:09,560
Week 6 was his last time without
multiple touchdowns and 243 

1331
01:08:09,560 --> 01:08:11,440
yards is his low watermark in 
the Rams. 

1332
01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:16,439
Five games and so we saw him 
without Devante Adams last week.

1333
01:08:16,720 --> 01:08:19,279
He went for 4:57 and 3:00 in 
that game. 

1334
01:08:19,279 --> 01:08:22,120
I mean, it was an overtime game,
but still just absolutely nuts. 

1335
01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:24,240
Falcons are mid pack against the
quarterback. 

1336
01:08:24,240 --> 01:08:27,720
So of course, Stafford's not 
doing anything with his legs, 

1337
01:08:27,720 --> 01:08:30,439
but he's still a very high end 
play high, very high end, very 

1338
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,880
shiny silver for Matt Stafford 
in this one. 

1339
01:08:33,560 --> 01:08:36,960
Puka's gold next. 
Devante obviously on your bench.

1340
01:08:36,960 --> 01:08:40,000
He's not expected to play with 
with him gone. 

1341
01:08:40,840 --> 01:08:42,960
You know, Xavier Smith actually 
saw the biggest bump in playing 

1342
01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:45,279
time. 
But Kannada Mumfeld was the 

1343
01:08:45,319 --> 01:08:48,479
number two receiver only 46% of 
the snaps though. 

1344
01:08:48,479 --> 01:08:51,560
So you can't really do anything 
with these guys as far as 

1345
01:08:51,560 --> 01:08:54,720
putting them in your line up. 
And I expect those past attempts

1346
01:08:54,720 --> 01:08:58,439
to normalize. 
Stafford threw 49 times in that 

1347
01:08:58,439 --> 01:09:01,840
game last week and that was his 
first time over 38 since week 5.

1348
01:09:02,640 --> 01:09:04,520
They're huge favourites, like I 
said in this one. 

1349
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,040
So I do think that's really 
going to temper the the throwing

1350
01:09:07,040 --> 01:09:10,160
numbers there. 
As such, you're leaving the 

1351
01:09:10,160 --> 01:09:12,960
tight ends on the on the bench. 
Atlanta's the third most 

1352
01:09:12,960 --> 01:09:14,920
difficult matchup for tight ends
anyway. 

1353
01:09:14,920 --> 01:09:19,840
And again, it's a it's a 3A 
group of three trying to decide 

1354
01:09:19,840 --> 01:09:22,279
who's going to do what here. 
If you wanted to throw a dart at

1355
01:09:22,279 --> 01:09:24,720
Colby Parkinson, you'd probably 
just end up hurting yourself. 

1356
01:09:24,720 --> 01:09:29,960
So just put the darts down on 
the running backside. 

1357
01:09:29,960 --> 01:09:31,800
Kyron Williams going to be a 
gold here. 

1358
01:09:31,800 --> 01:09:35,279
He's still running plenty ahead 
of Blake Gorman snapshare even 

1359
01:09:35,279 --> 01:09:37,040
though they are splitting 
overall work. 

1360
01:09:37,880 --> 01:09:42,040
No fewer than 13 opportunities 
in any game all year, with 15 or

1361
01:09:42,040 --> 01:09:45,399
more in each of his last three. 
He's also found the end zone 13 

1362
01:09:45,399 --> 01:09:48,080
times this season and has three 
multi score games. 

1363
01:09:48,359 --> 01:09:50,120
Falcons just mid pack against 
running backs. 

1364
01:09:50,120 --> 01:09:52,600
I think this is a real nice game
for Kyron and I already 

1365
01:09:52,600 --> 01:09:54,880
mentioned Blake Quorum in my 
roll the dice. 

1366
01:09:55,120 --> 01:09:56,920
I mean, it's probably better 
than roll the dice. 

1367
01:09:56,920 --> 01:09:59,400
Frankly at this point. 
I got a silver grade on him. 

1368
01:10:00,400 --> 01:10:03,040
Falcon side, I mentioned Kirk 
Cousins already is my roll the 

1369
01:10:03,040 --> 01:10:05,280
dice quarterback. 
Drake London. 

1370
01:10:05,280 --> 01:10:08,880
I'm putting a gold grade on. 
He played 69% of the snaps last 

1371
01:10:08,880 --> 01:10:10,680
week coming back from that 
four-game absence. 

1372
01:10:10,920 --> 01:10:14,400
I expect that number to climb in
a game that the Falcons 

1373
01:10:14,400 --> 01:10:16,920
absolutely will have to pass to 
keep up in. 

1374
01:10:18,080 --> 01:10:21,760
Even with that lower snaps here 
still at 8 targets last game. 

1375
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:24,160
And that's the minimum number 
he's hit in all by one game this

1376
01:10:24,160 --> 01:10:26,320
season. 
So you're you're good to go. 

1377
01:10:26,320 --> 01:10:29,520
All systems go on, Drake London 
benching Darnell Mooney and 

1378
01:10:29,600 --> 01:10:31,600
David Sills. 
I'm going to give a silver to 

1379
01:10:31,600 --> 01:10:35,600
Kyle Pitts averaging just under 
10 targets per game in his last 

1380
01:10:35,600 --> 01:10:38,320
four, and that includes 9 last 
week when Drake London returned.

1381
01:10:38,680 --> 01:10:41,000
His 57 yards were his lowest in 
that stretch. 

1382
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:43,480
That was last week's output, but
he did get in the end zone 

1383
01:10:43,480 --> 01:10:45,800
again. 
So I've given 4 touchdowns in 

1384
01:10:45,800 --> 01:10:47,120
the last two weeks. 
Not too bad. 

1385
01:10:47,400 --> 01:10:51,440
Rams only allowing 43.4 yards 
per game to tight ends. 6 

1386
01:10:51,440 --> 01:10:55,000
touchdowns all year. 
So I certainly am not expecting 

1387
01:10:55,040 --> 01:10:58,000
a Kyle Pitts eruption game for 
the second time in three weeks, 

1388
01:10:58,000 --> 01:11:00,680
but I think there's enough here 
to make him useful. 

1389
01:11:01,440 --> 01:11:04,880
Bejan's getting the gold just 
massive workload at least 22 

1390
01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:07,800
opportunities in each of his 
last four games and he's got A 

1391
01:11:09,760 --> 01:11:12,280
and he's got 11 targets in 
back-to-back contest. 

1392
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:15,200
That's a lot of passing game 
work that's probably going to 

1393
01:11:15,200 --> 01:11:17,320
continue again, given that point
differential here. 

1394
01:11:17,440 --> 01:11:20,560
So extremely high floor Rams 
have only allowed five running 

1395
01:11:20,560 --> 01:11:23,520
back rushing TDs all year 7 
combo to the position that is 

1396
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:26,880
the fewest in the league. 
But Robinson gets plenty of work

1397
01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,280
where if he doesn't find the end
zone, he'll still be just fine. 

1398
01:11:29,680 --> 01:11:32,640
I'm going to bench Tyler Algier 
double digit opportunities in 

1399
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:36,440
four of his last five games, but
just one target combined in his 

1400
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:38,560
last two, only one touchdown in 
his last five. 

1401
01:11:38,560 --> 01:11:41,040
And as I mentioned, this is not 
a team that gives up a lot of 

1402
01:11:41,040 --> 01:11:43,680
running back scores, so you'd 
have to be pretty desperate to 

1403
01:11:44,080 --> 01:11:48,800
play a Tyler Algier this week. 
The end. 

1404
01:11:49,880 --> 01:11:52,120
The end. 
Sorry, my mute button was on. 

1405
01:11:52,960 --> 01:11:55,160
You know how that works. 
But before we hit Lightning 

1406
01:11:55,160 --> 01:11:57,840
Round, I wanted to remind 
everybody this episode is 

1407
01:11:57,840 --> 01:12:00,480
brought to you by Game Blazers, 
which is celebrating the

1416
01:12:29,160 --> 01:12:33,560
Download the game Blazers app 
today and I noticed in our 

1417
01:12:33,560 --> 01:12:39,000
internal contest it is it you 
Trevor who has like a 1.5 X puka

1418
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:43,400
Nakua and I and I, I just looked
at it and I was like, well I 

1419
01:12:43,400 --> 01:12:48,080
give up. 
I have a 1.5 X puka that, yeah, 

1420
01:12:49,200 --> 01:12:51,520
I just packed it out of like a 
common Gray pack too or 

1421
01:12:51,520 --> 01:12:53,280
whatever. 
And as soon as he hit that on 

1422
01:12:53,280 --> 01:12:55,080
Thursday night, it's like, cool,
I won 50 bucks, all right? 

1423
01:12:55,080 --> 01:12:59,280
How are are you just like raking
all the money in in our game? 

1424
01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:02,720
Blazers internals every week 
with the 1.5 X puka. 

1425
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:06,520
There's been a couple where I 
forgot to put him in where he 

1426
01:13:06,520 --> 01:13:08,640
was like on a Thursday night and
I didn't get him in in time, but

1427
01:13:09,560 --> 01:13:10,840
but yeah, no, he's he's kind of 
nice. 

1428
01:13:11,440 --> 01:13:16,040
What an idiot. 
All right, to end the show, this

1429
01:13:16,040 --> 01:13:18,480
is what we call Lightning Round 
and we have an abbreviated 

1430
01:13:18,480 --> 01:13:21,640
Lightning round this week. 
So I'm going to let both of you 

1431
01:13:21,640 --> 01:13:24,720
guys kind of answer. 
And guess what, They're all 

1432
01:13:24,720 --> 01:13:28,080
quarterbacks this week. 
Big quarterback decisions. 

1433
01:13:28,080 --> 01:13:29,840
Maj. you had a quarterback 
decision. 

1434
01:13:30,280 --> 01:13:33,200
You kind of previewed that a 
little bit here, so here we go. 

1435
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:37,080
Brew Daddy looking for an Empire
League championship. 

1436
01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:41,600
He's either going to start 
Jackson Dart or Jacoby Brissett.

1437
01:13:43,800 --> 01:13:46,640
For me, it's easily. 
Jacoby, we saw Jackson starts 

1438
01:13:46,640 --> 01:13:49,320
floor last week, and he's also 
with the quarterback probably 

1439
01:13:49,320 --> 01:13:51,000
most at risk of leaving the game
early. 

1440
01:13:51,560 --> 01:13:52,920
Yeah. 
So Jacoby? 

1441
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:54,520
Yep. 
I second that. 

1442
01:13:55,440 --> 01:13:59,000
All right. 
David has a choice between yeah,

1443
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,280
aforementioned Jacoby Brissett 
or Brock Purdy. 

1444
01:14:04,040 --> 01:14:06,320
I'm going Purdy with that one. 
I like Brissett. 

1445
01:14:06,320 --> 01:14:07,600
I think those are two good 
options. 

1446
01:14:07,600 --> 01:14:10,120
And you know, if I did weekly 
ranks, they'd probably be within

1447
01:14:10,120 --> 01:14:12,120
a couple spots of each other. 
But I like Purdy better. 

1448
01:14:12,120 --> 01:14:13,600
I was. 
Going to say it's actually a lot

1449
01:14:13,600 --> 01:14:15,840
closer than I initially thought,
but I I lean Purdy as well. 

1450
01:14:16,480 --> 01:14:20,440
I'm I'm with you guys. 
Daryl wants to know, is it Tyler

1451
01:14:20,440 --> 01:14:23,040
Shuck or Bryce Young? 
And I'm pretty sure Daryl had 

1452
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:26,080
this exact question on the show 
last week. 

1453
01:14:26,720 --> 01:14:30,240
Both of these guys were our roll
the dice quarterbacks, Trevor. 

1454
01:14:30,240 --> 01:14:31,800
So yeah. 
I'm trying to. 

1455
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:34,520
Remember, if we got it right 
last week, hopefully. 

1456
01:14:34,680 --> 01:14:36,960
Oh yeah, clearly he's in the 
next round, so we must have done

1457
01:14:36,960 --> 01:14:39,880
something right. 
I would go Tyler Shuck. 

1458
01:14:42,480 --> 01:14:45,120
Carolina can lose the game, and 
it doesn't affect their NFC 

1459
01:14:45,120 --> 01:14:46,800
South odds. 
Correct. 

1460
01:14:47,200 --> 01:14:49,320
Yeah. 
So yeah, I just actually, I 

1461
01:14:49,320 --> 01:14:51,160
weirdly kind of like how the 
Saints were playing a little 

1462
01:14:51,160 --> 01:14:53,800
bit, right? 
They've got five wins this 

1463
01:14:53,800 --> 01:14:55,480
season, man. 
They've been, they've been 

1464
01:14:55,480 --> 01:14:58,000
competitive all Year 3. 
Three in a row too, yeah. 

1465
01:14:58,960 --> 01:15:01,360
Yeah, I'm with you. 
Tyler Shuck over Bryce Young for

1466
01:15:01,360 --> 01:15:04,400
sure. 
Last one, Ryan Schwartz asks 

1467
01:15:04,800 --> 01:15:08,920
Drake May or Josh Allen in a 
guillotine league Maj. 

1468
01:15:08,920 --> 01:15:11,240
Who do you think? 
You know, I'm going with Josh 

1469
01:15:11,240 --> 01:15:15,760
Allen in that one. 
I mean, both teams obviously 

1470
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:19,600
have a lot to play for with the 
Patriots and and the the Bills, 

1471
01:15:19,600 --> 01:15:23,280
But man, I don't that that's one
of those decisions that I'm 

1472
01:15:23,280 --> 01:15:27,320
like, what could I live with 
more Drake May going off on my 

1473
01:15:27,320 --> 01:15:29,600
bench or Josh Allen going off on
my bench? 

1474
01:15:29,600 --> 01:15:33,120
And the answer for me is Drake 
may but call that plan scared 

1475
01:15:33,120 --> 01:15:35,400
too. 
So they're both very highly 

1476
01:15:35,400 --> 01:15:38,160
rated quarterbacks this week. 
They're probably, you know, 

1477
01:15:38,160 --> 01:15:40,280
again, if you're looking around 
the Internet at rankings, you're

1478
01:15:40,280 --> 01:15:42,840
probably going to see both of 
those names in the top 4. 

1479
01:15:43,280 --> 01:15:46,960
So not necessarily a bad action 
among them, and I'm going with 

1480
01:15:46,960 --> 01:15:49,520
Alan. 
Scared money doesn't make money.

1481
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:51,800
We're going with Josh Allen. 
Wow. 

1482
01:15:52,240 --> 01:15:54,360
I just, I just think that Drake 
may like, it's tough for me to 

1483
01:15:54,360 --> 01:15:56,800
with picture scenario where The 
Jets even score like 20 points. 

1484
01:15:57,320 --> 01:15:59,440
So, you know, Drake can still 
get there on a couple passing 

1485
01:15:59,440 --> 01:16:01,920
touchdowns, a couple rushing. 
But I think Josh Allen's got the

1486
01:16:02,040 --> 01:16:04,240
hey, the Eagles put up 30 on us.
We need 35, Josh. 

1487
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:08,960
Yeah, go make it happen. 
I gave May a gold grade and I 

1488
01:16:08,960 --> 01:16:12,440
gave Alan a silver grade. 
So I'm I'm the DE factor. 

1489
01:16:13,600 --> 01:16:16,240
Yeah, tie goes to Drake. 
Yeah, I'm. 

1490
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:18,760
I'm Alan. 
I, Like I said, I'm going to 

1491
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:20,000
play Allen. 
I'd be I. 

1492
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,760
Play Allen's versus 1 Drake, but
I don't think there's a wrong 

1493
01:16:22,760 --> 01:16:25,880
answer in this one. 
Yeah, fortunately for Ryan. 

1494
01:16:25,880 --> 01:16:27,480
Yeah, good on you for having 
both guys there. 

1495
01:16:27,960 --> 01:16:32,320
Yeah, All right, that was about 
Lightning Round. 

1496
01:16:32,320 --> 01:16:36,320
We could shout it. 
Hey, thanks to both of you guys 

1497
01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,760
for all your hard work in these 
last six or seven weeks. 

1498
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:43,160
Anything you guys want to say to
your adoring fans of Fantasy 

1499
01:16:43,160 --> 01:16:46,480
Friday before we get going? 
Yeah, I just want to say I 

1500
01:16:46,480 --> 01:16:49,120
appreciate listeners for giving 
the new guy a chance here in 

1501
01:16:49,120 --> 01:16:51,720
these last few weeks. 
Hopefully we were I was able to 

1502
01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:54,480
give a few winners out, 
especially in the the daily 

1503
01:16:54,480 --> 01:16:56,640
streets. 
Then the last thing I wanted to 

1504
01:16:56,640 --> 01:17:00,360
say was, you know, for as much 
work as CP, Ken Fish, Maggio and

1505
01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:03,800
I put in as Co hosts, Matt's got
all that same stuff plus hosting

1506
01:17:03,800 --> 01:17:06,800
duty, tough nuts, coaching us up
and everything else that I 

1507
01:17:06,800 --> 01:17:08,360
missed. 
So just want to shout out Matt 

1508
01:17:08,360 --> 01:17:11,480
for keeping the, keeping the 
goobers in line and and keeping 

1509
01:17:11,480 --> 01:17:14,560
the show going as. 
Well, as the yeah. 

1510
01:17:14,880 --> 01:17:19,040
I'm, I, I absolutely echo that. 
The only other thing I wanted to

1511
01:17:19,040 --> 01:17:21,640
add is for those of you in 
dynasty leagues, even if you're 

1512
01:17:21,640 --> 01:17:24,360
not in the playoffs, if you're 
in a dynasty league that knows 

1513
01:17:24,360 --> 01:17:26,920
what it's doing, you can still 
pick up players. 

1514
01:17:27,160 --> 01:17:29,600
So make sure you're checking 
your waiver wires to see who's 

1515
01:17:29,600 --> 01:17:33,520
out there. 
You know, they're all shots in 

1516
01:17:33,520 --> 01:17:35,960
the dark at this point, right? 
But if especially like in a 

1517
01:17:35,960 --> 01:17:38,960
Superflex and is Anthony 
Richardson out there, he might 

1518
01:17:38,960 --> 01:17:42,080
be worth a roster spot. 
I guess Malik Willis, who came 

1519
01:17:42,080 --> 01:17:44,600
in and played very well in 
Chicago last week, is your 

1520
01:17:44,600 --> 01:17:46,800
contracts up. 
He might have played himself 

1521
01:17:46,800 --> 01:17:49,280
into a a job elsewhere next 
year, right? 

1522
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,200
Like, look for that kind of 
stuff to put yourself in better 

1523
01:17:52,200 --> 01:17:57,720
position for next year's team. 
Yeah, both, both good things you

1524
01:17:57,720 --> 01:18:00,520
guys said and I, I just wanted 
to mention that we put the show 

1525
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:03,640
in place here for the for the 
Fantasy Friday show specifically

1526
01:18:04,200 --> 01:18:07,120
'cause there was just kind of a 
hole in in the hearts of many 

1527
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,920
fantasy fans that were missing a
certain other show.

adult films to filling people's 
holes in their hearts, in their

Spot if I might throw the R tag
