All right, our last time with a Sunday morning start or sit update for you on fantasy football today in five.

Last time for this season. We'll be back at it in 2024. All right. Welcome, everybody. Good morning. If you're playing in week 18, if you want some DFS advice, we got some help for you right now. Adam Azer and Heath Cummings. A reminder to just check the weather. Looks like the Jets and the Patriots game could be the worst one. Living up here in the Northeast, I can tell you yesterday was ugly. Now it's beautiful. We've got snow on the ground. But anyway, it doesn't seem too bad up here today, but I'm not quite as far north as Foxborough.

So anyway, Christian Kirk and Trevor Lawrence, they are going to be game time decisions. Zay Jones is expected to play. Are you going to trust Lawrence or Kirk if they play? Trust is the wrong word, but Lawrence would be a borderline top 12 quarterback. Kirk would be a number three wide receiver.

Jalen Waddell and Raheem Mostert are not expected to play today. Tonight, does that mean anything for the rest of the Dolphins? Devon Achan is the top five running back, but besides that, you're not starting Tua. He's not a top 12 quarterback. I'd start Trevor Lawrence over Tua

if Trevor Lawrence plays. All right, Ken Walker with the Golden matchup at Arizona. He's not a top 12 quarterback. I'd start Trevor Lawrence over Tua if Trevor Lawrence plays. All right, Ken Walker with the golden matchup at Arizona. He is going to play. Do you rank him as you normally would going into this week? No, first game back from an injury, I'd rank him more as a number two running back and Charbonnet as a flex. Pacheco not expected to play.

Do you like any of the running backs on any of the teams that are sitting guys? Probably, yes, but I'm not super excited about Clyde Edwards-Hilaire. Like, when you say sitting guys, are we counting Zemir White? Because Josh Jacobs is out. I like him a lot. No, I mean like the 49ers, the Browns, those teams. Jordan Mason and Pierre Strong, I like both of them better than Clyde.

All right. You did mention Jacobs. We'll get to that in a Clyde. All right. You did mention Jacobs. We'll get to that in a second. A.J. Dillon is out. Aaron Jones, full go? He's a number two running back right there in the Ken Walker range. Kamara is questionable.

Would you rather Kamara play or would you rather it just be Jamal Williams? I'd rather Kamara play. I feel like Jamal Williams could have a dud of a 20-touch game. What about Kamara? You feel good about him if he plays? I'd start him if he plays.

Like over Aaron Jones? Yes. Okay. Josh Jacobs is out. So is Zamir White, is he ahead of all these guys we've talked about except for maybe A-Chan? Yes. Alright, Zamir White is a must-start guy. He's got the Broncos.

Easy DFS play as well. Khalil Herbert is expected to play at Green Bay. How do you feel about him? More in that number two range with Jones and Walker and probably behind Kamara. All right, let's see. We got wide receiver. First, we have another bear, Cole Komet,

who barely played last week. Didn't have a target. Got to sit him this week. I don't know if you have to sit him. He's a borderline top 12 guy. Would it be that surprising if it turns out he's just awesome and scores two touchdowns? No, I guess not. Cortland Sutton's going to play, and Josh Palmer is going to play.

Where do you rank Sutton and Palmer? I prefer Sutton. They're both number three wide receivers. Sutton a little better in non-PPR than full. And the Packers wide receivers are all questionable for their game against Chicago. That would be Wicks, Watson and Reed.

Yeah. Um, but we don't have enough minutes here to do a full breakdown. I like Jaden Reed the best if he plays. Um, I don't really expect Watson. If it's Reed and Wicks, then Wicks would be a low end number three.

All right. Thank you, Heath. Enjoy your Sunday. Fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. I'm going to go win a basketball championship while people win fantasy football championships. Let's go.

Let's go. All right, everybody. Congratulations. If you got this far, if you already won, we'll talk to you tomorrow with the coaching news on fantasy football. We'll talk to you tomorrow with the coaching news on Fantasy Football Today.
