Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the fantasy footballers podcast with your host, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore, and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in. Woo, who, who, ho, ho, who, who, who, are you not in a. It is a good time Oh, you not? Give him the camera. It's a good time to be Mike. Hatrick Hindo, baby.
Starting point is 00:00:43 Woo! Oh yeah, give me that light. Give me that light. Give me those party lights. Yo! Oh, what a night. It is impossible. Oh,
Starting point is 00:00:54 it is impossible to describe the current. I mean, Let's just be honest. Mike has his own Triforce going of... Yeah, three touchdowns. Well, sure, but I was literally going to go. The combination of CMC, RICO, and Trayvion currently in the place that they're in is worthy of every bit of victory lapping and he's got the blue blockers on.
Starting point is 00:01:22 Oh, man. The setup made it, like, we had to wait for it. Made it even better. Made it made it even better. realize that if, I don't know if you know this, if one of your other players, Bijon Robinson, goes crazy this weekend and has four touchdowns on the ground, that would be enough to just barely pass Trayvion on the year. He has three more touchdowns on the ground. Trayvon does than Bijon Robinson. It was, it was everything you could have. I am shocked you're wearing any
Starting point is 00:01:57 pants on the show. I feel like. Yeah, we're on YouTube. feel like you would have been fine with an NC-17 rating of this podcast. I mean, unbelievable. Unbelievable. I mean, this has to be enough for Vrable, right? Yes, it has. And he played like 90% of the snaps. This is.
Starting point is 00:02:14 Well, who else? And I posted the, uh, the advanced numbers. What channel did I put that in? Yeah, I, I, nine forced missed tackles. Trayvion Henderson gained more rushing yards after contact 70 than total rushing yard 62. and his three touchdown performance against the Jets. I mean, he's very good. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:36 Yeah. Yeah. Boy, you had to wait. Oh, we did. You had to go on. We did. What, an eight-week sweat fest. It was tough for the streets to hold that faith.
Starting point is 00:02:47 But we got there, everybody. Oh, my gosh. I mean, 27 to 14, three of the four touchdowns were, they were, they were Trevion. Or actually, all their touchdowns, right? Because they had two field goals. So, yeah, it was two rush, one receiving. Yeah, it was, it was awesome. It really was.
Starting point is 00:03:05 And on the other- Matt Collins always being productive. Dude, I love that, dude. That's like the third or fourth week in a row. I played him in a league yesterday. Matt Collins is a dog. Yeah. The other side was really entertaining because we had talked about that insane passing yard
Starting point is 00:03:22 line for Justin Fields of like 120. Yeah, how low it was. Something. 1-16. Yeah, he didn't get. get there. I mean, you know, you would have been, you're definitely disappointed in the briefs overall fantasy output, but especially because he only caught two passes for six yards. Other people's trash were the wide receivers that played the most for the Jets,
Starting point is 00:03:44 John Mechie and Adonai Mitchell. Stavon Diggs had a fine night too. He doesn't play for the Jets, though. Oh, I'm sorry. Sorry. It's okay. I'm just thinking about the Patriots over here, guys. You got Trayvon on the mind. But, yeah, I mean, they handled their business. They're nine and two. The Patriot is now 9 and 2. 281 yards for Drake May. I wasn't sure he was going to put up that kind of yardage in that game,
Starting point is 00:04:05 but he got it done. Stefan Diggs has been really consistent. I mean, any other thoughts on the game? Trayvion with five catches? Yeah, just the delicious. I mean, it's just Trayvion. Yeah, it's, that was everything that the world was watching. The world was uplifting Trayvion Henderson.
Starting point is 00:04:23 He came through. And the big question is just, What will Vrable do? And honestly, I have no idea. I have no idea. I mean, it's not, Romandre will get worked in. Yes, but how much?
Starting point is 00:04:39 Like, what? I mean, I would worry a little bit about goal line, like direct goal line. Not necessarily inside the 10, but like inside the 10 carries were boss. Yeah, he, well, the thing about this performance,
Starting point is 00:04:50 um, as the night went on, the majority of his work was between the tackles. You know, he had the night, the first touchdown was a one cut plus a finishing run where they pushed them in. The second one, knifed through the defense.
Starting point is 00:05:03 And the third one was not a traditional like screen pass touchdown from a whiteout. It was much more of a like little sides. He was the one who was crossing and got open. Snuck behind the defense. It was the. It was great. The Tray Force, the Triforce, whatever you want to say.
Starting point is 00:05:17 It happened. And I mean, the, I don't know what. It was like his second or third touch. Like he almost ripped off a huge 50 yard. Well, he's always got that chance. But I was just like the fact. that that's there plus every oh my goodness what a night
Starting point is 00:05:32 what a night it was spectacular we may be in the midst of the greatest my guy reclamation midseason project i mean george kiddle returning from injury electric jameson williams having three of four good weeks i'm hoping that continues with the new
Starting point is 00:05:48 offense of coordinator and then travion becoming it's not just travion it's all chase brown is back that's true yeah i had forgotten about him yeah because it was like chase Brown is perfect. This is going to work. And then Joe Burl. Okay. Joe Burr. All right, guys. Never wrong. Just early. That just reminds me of the Cooper Cup year that he was
Starting point is 00:06:08 a my guy. And then the next year he's the number one overall. And I was like, come on. Always just a bit early. Friday, November 14th, the fantasy footballers. That would be Jalen Waddle this year. True. Yeah. True. Yeah, we do that. Never wrong. Just early. We do that sometimes. Where was this last year, Waddle? We know their potential better.
Starting point is 00:06:28 than they do is what I'm they just need to listen to us better in themselves the co we need the coaches to tune in yeah we got to give these guys personal phone calls every year give me the number just to affirm like look hey we believe in you every Sunday of it rabble brayble rable i know you're thinking about it like i know you're thinking about putting remandre back in you can't unring this bell man It's a five touchdown bell. Half to hope. Have to hope. All right.
Starting point is 00:06:56 Well, in the least mean and aggressive way possible, I do really mean it. Like, I'm glad Remandre got hurt. Not because I want him hurt, but because of Trayvion having the opportunity that we all, I mean, there was a point in this season where we said if he had been drafted by the Bears, like a pick later, you know you would have gotten to see it on the field way or later. So it's just. the insane thing is genuinely if remandre did not get injured travion would have had two worthless weeks most likely the last two weeks
Starting point is 00:07:29 yeah like that yeah they don't exist yeah so sad yeah this is going to be infinite validation on the if you give them a shot maybe it will work uh narrative in fantasy football but never a doubt we don't zoom the camera on those eyes never a doubt huh oh oh no never a doubt oh yeah yeah No, it's awesome. I'm so happy for you. There you go, man.
Starting point is 00:07:56 Twitter last night was electric. Oh, man. I can't, like, if the word pants was not trending last night, the Twitter is not searching the algorithm properly. And you pulled it downtown. Oh, yeah, yeah. Hey, football card nerds out there with us. You had a night.
Starting point is 00:08:14 In the midst of the triple hat-trick touchdown. I pulled the Patrick Malm's downtown. You live in life, Mike. It's over. Yeah, it's over. You just peeped. Last night was your peak. I'm just going to walk from here to the cemetery.
Starting point is 00:08:30 To the heavenly games. Lower me down. You should have yourself a countertop steak. Oh, yeah. You should have yourself a nice eight hour. Take you down a notch. Yeah, you know, he could fight it off. He'd be fine.
Starting point is 00:08:42 It is a busy show today. We talked about Thursday night. We have more matchups today. We've got the fantasy faceoff as well. a lot of bye weeks, so we do have a lot of matchups to get into, and it is Friday. Put Clan Friday. Congratulations to Jared Lee,
Starting point is 00:09:06 the winner of a $100 gift card. Every Friday we give $100 away to Fantasychamps.com to a supporter of this podcast, The Foot Clan over at Jointhefoot.com. Jared Lee, congratulations. We'll get that out to you. Appreciate your support. support stock news news and notes from around the league presented by progressive insurance
Starting point is 00:09:29 we like thursdays because uh the wednesday practice people they come on back and make you feel better sometimes how they're doing yeah sometimes we had rico dowdell coming back to a limited practice uh drake london returned from an illness we do have news bucky irving chris godwin both limited but active around the practice field. Yeah, I don't expect either of them to be active on Sunday, but they're getting close. This seems like one of those practice windows where you open it up, get them back to football shape,
Starting point is 00:10:04 and then in a couple weeks they'll be playing ball. Kalil Shakir Limited on Thursday still wearing a non-contact jersey. That would be, you know, if you take Shakir off the field and Dalton Kincaid off the field. Oh, my gosh. I mean, maybe Dawson Knox is. a real start player. He's a touchdown threat, but.
Starting point is 00:10:22 Keon Coleman maybe. Dard throw on Coleman this week. But that's the thing of like, I don't think Coleman can get it done. Yeah, I'm just saying, I mean, he did it last week, so that's my best guess. That's how it feels. Dalton Schultz, though, didn't practice again on Thursday. Jason's start of the week? Well, yeah, absolutely.
Starting point is 00:10:41 That's a bad, I brought it up. Bad decision. Terrible. I brought it up. Well, there's two players that I was really excited for this week. both of which, you know, the middling lower tier guys that I think are good starts who aren't practicing even on Thursday. One is Dalton Schultz. One is Darius Slayton. I think with James Winston, their great opportunity, but, you know, they have to play football in order to score fantasy points. Yeah, Darius Slate not practicing, that sucks. Romadunzee, D.J. Moore, limited practices on Thursday. We weren't sure if D.J. Moore was going to miss time or not. Still don't know, but coming back to practice,
Starting point is 00:11:18 that's a big deal they should let him heal he's not it feels like he's doing so little in the offense right now it's not to be healthy yeah don't put too much of a burden on him yeah that's what I'm talking about
Starting point is 00:11:31 yeah and then we have some injury updates for the games we're going to cover today we'll get into those as we jump into the match chips and make sure you're up to speed but Brock Purdy will be back and looks like Ricky Pierce saw
Starting point is 00:11:42 will be as well that one is that's great yeah they were both in this kind of mystical land of like bucky hampton purdy pierceau it's like they could be back this week they could never play again that's how it felt like yeah that was news and notes sponsored by progressive insurance quote today at progressive dot com progressive casualty insurance company affiliates and third party insurers not available in all states or situations coverage of policy terms limits and conditions jump right into those matchups fantasy forecast
Starting point is 00:12:17 Presented by prize picks. Well, well, well, we covered the commanders, dolphins, Panthers, Falcons, Buccaneers, Titans, Bears, Vikings, Panthers, Giants, or sorry, Packers, Giants, Bengals and Steelers on yesterday's show. Seven more matchups today, starting with the Chargers, seven and three, taking on the five and four Jacksonville, Jaguars. The Vegas line here, Chargers minus three, over under 43 and a half. first impressions of the line.
Starting point is 00:12:49 Do you, are you surprised? Does it seem right? See, I would have probably guessed three and a half or four for the Chargers. That's kind of how I was too, actually. So, you know, Jacksonville off the 29 to 10 collapse last week. Trevor Lawrence is Trevor Lawrence. Chargers' offense has been humming along. They've won four of five.
Starting point is 00:13:11 You've got to love where Ladd McConkey is right now. He feels like there was a point in the season where it did feel like, every player was viable. I'm not there anymore. Like, I think Ladd is a very, very must start and probably won't fail you. Kuge is the next man up to me on reliability standpoint. And then it goes Gadsden and then it goes King. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:13:33 I would agree with the order. Keenan is certainly, he's been, I don't know, one of those, we see it a lot of years where these older players, they come out really hot to start the season. It's like they're fresh. And then it's just like, it just kind of fade a little. Like they're still there. He's still going to move the chains, but he's not going to just dominate and takeover games the way he was, you know, the first month of the season.
Starting point is 00:13:56 Adam, this is we called an Adam Thielen. No, and it's true. And I mean, and Kenan's had, he said a handful of years in the past, too, where the second half he gets hurt or something goes wrong. Come on, he Vidal. We are, uh, if we're looking at the box scores. Oh, no. We got to be out, right?
Starting point is 00:14:13 This is, this would be a bad week. Did Raylight, Greenlight keep going? It kept going. Oh, man. And the Jaguar's defense, their number seven against the running back position. That is their strength. Vidal, though, I, you know, when you have a top ten finish, that's why people play you the next week.
Starting point is 00:14:27 You play Vidal. But just no, this is the week where it doesn't work out. Yes, if the incredible, very predictive analysis. 21, 5, 19, 3, 17. If that continues, he will be bad. but, I mean, last week, 93% of the snaps. If you follow the pattern, he should score one fantasy. 26 opportunities.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Would you play him or Woody Marks after last week's performance from Woody Marks? I would play Vidal. That's what I would do. I'm more comfortable in the work. Travis E.N? How are we feeling? We're feeling mad. Somebody's starting Travis E.T.N.
Starting point is 00:15:10 I am. I'm starting Travis E.T.N. in our league of record. He's been pretty good for the season. It just hasn't, it's not efficient, which is not shocking. Travis E.N. has really been like a touchdown guy. The thing is, is he gets touchdowns. So I think that's a legit question, is E.T.N or Vidal. Those two guys, I'm probably on the E.T.N. side, but that's the tier that I think I see him in right now. I think I'm comfortable with that. We know that the Chargers defense.
Starting point is 00:15:44 the run funnel. The Jags defense, very good against the run. I would go there myself, I think. Herbert's my start of the week. Jacksonville's allowed five straight top 12 quarterback performances, even to Davis Mills. And Brian Thomas Jr. limited the ankle, probably not going to play. Parker Washington, fortunately, came back to practice on Thursday after missing with a hamstring, so I'm more optimistic there. He's been targeted on a team leading 25% of routes in the last month. I was even with some Travis Hunter and Brian Thomas Jr. out there.
Starting point is 00:16:19 What do you do if Brian Thomas plays? Like, do you even play him? Probably. Yeah, I think I do. I mean, he's been, he's had 10 or more points two times. No, I mean, Parker's been much better. That's like the,
Starting point is 00:16:36 let me try and find some names here. Like, I mean, well, just ask the question in this game. Let's say Brian Thomas Jr.'s back. And you have him and you've got Parker Washington, who do you start? And that's a wild question. It's a wild question because I mean, how many games are going to be involved? I mean, he was three for 41 in his debut last week. I thought he looked good. He'll probably be more involved. Like there's a world where Thomas and Parker, like Parker might go in limited on Friday. And then all of a sudden you asked
Starting point is 00:17:07 unfortunately, I'm throwing another name in the ring. Jacoby. Jacoby's like kind of interesting in this game. Yeah, I mean, the, the, the, truth is the Chargers pass defense is very good. So I'm not excited about any of them, including Parker Washington, with the hamstring issue, despite his great game last week. They're not, I think there are other players that are just better options this week. A reminder, you always can find our rankings and start sit
Starting point is 00:17:32 tool, which is always being updated all throughout the week at the fantasy footballers.com. Gadsden, got a full practice in on Wednesday and Thursday. That's great news. He should be back out there. um jason was confident enough to trade for him and start him this week so that should tell you what you need to know we'll take a quick break and jump it's going to go terrible oh is it i know what happens when jason trades for tight ends it hasn't been the best oh tight it's a tight end kiss of death yeah they've been getting injured sorry guys yeah stay healthy gadsen yeah you uh
Starting point is 00:18:04 you cursed him what's the opposite of midas who is there another guy than midas where everything he touched turns just like poop yeah I mean, turning everything to gold is actually not very great. King chocolate or something. All right. We'll go ahead and take a break. We've got another matchup coming up. I was actually picturing that like the chocolate monster on the Candy Land board.
Starting point is 00:18:32 Oh. That's what I was, which is kind of a gross thing to picture. All right, Seattle, seven and two, if it's not chocolate. At Los Angeles, the Rams 7 and 2. That's chocolate? Mm-mm. Oh, you're looking at a picture of it? I'm looking at it right now.
Starting point is 00:18:48 I mean, it is. It's Candyland, Mike. That's not chocolate. That's not chocolate. That's doo-doo, baby. Oh, that's disgusting. He's kind of a nasty creature, isn't he? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:19:00 Yeah, you don't want to get sent back to Chocolate Lamb. No, no, you don't. In that game. And he's towards the beginning of the board, I think. So you really don't because I'm a, are there professional Candyland players out there? Oh, they're so freaking funny. There has to be. I mean, a pro circuit?
Starting point is 00:19:19 No, I'm saying like, I've seen people play like high stakes Uno. Oh, baby. There's got to be. There has to be a high stakes candy land. Just pure, unadulterated chance. All right, the Seahawks and Rams. This is a fun one. It's a 48.5 point over under.
Starting point is 00:19:35 It's in Los Angeles. It's for the division. Yeah, I mean, L.A. minus three in this one. I love this game. I'm very excited about it. I think I would have probably gone with whoever was at home in this one, so I lean the ram side. Matthew Savard has been on fire, but the Seahawks have a great defense that's going to really challenge the run he's on. Puka and Devante should both be back out there. Kyron, you know, he is, he's been good. It's interesting to see what the snap counts have been.
Starting point is 00:20:09 I mean, Kairn is not playing as much as he has in the past, but he's being just as productive. I mean, four of the last five weeks in the top 12, three of those, top five, four touchdowns. He's back into the touchdown groove. Last week was, yeah, season low snaps, 14 carries, Korm had 13. That was the dismantling of the 49ers.
Starting point is 00:20:32 I don't look too much into that. If you had Ken Walker and Charbonnet, Are you still going Charbonnet? Yeah. I think you have to. Only one of them can get a touchdown. I was going to say Walker can only get a touchdown if it's from like 25 yards away or something. 50 plus.
Starting point is 00:20:47 Yeah, right now, I'm pretty excited about this. Jason has been amazing. He must have like a contract bonus for touchdowns. Oh, Ken Walker? He's got some escalators in there. Don't you let him get eight. Would you play the quarterbacks in this game? Sam Donald for sure.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, and Stafford. Yeah, Stafford, you, he is on a eight, he's nuclear right now. He's a must start. Top eight and five of six, yeah. Devante Puka combo has worked out really well. It's a wild one because Cooper Cup was, I will say, he's on the other side of this one. If, so
Starting point is 00:21:21 Devante Adams didn't practice Wednesday, limited on Thursday with his old man back injury. If Adams doesn't play, it does change how I look at Stafford. 100% because around the goal line, that's, I mean, that's the different. League leading nine touchdowns for Devante Adams and those are obviously Stafford's. I don't think it happens
Starting point is 00:21:39 without him there. They probably run the ball more. Focus on Kyron. So I would agree with you that if Adams doesn't play, that being said, you know, they came out and basically said that he should be good to go. Just to highlight what's going on with Stafford here, he already has more passing touchdowns than his entire 2024 season and his entire 2023 season. No, it's been like this is this is why it feels like it could go away at any time because we've seen Stafford with the Rams for a long time and it's really just one monster season but that's why I'm saying Devante Adams is he's the difference well I guess the then the question that needs to be answered is so he's an outlier right now in his touchdown percentage he's throwing 8.1
Starting point is 00:22:24 touchdowns is his current rate his previous career percentage yes 8.1% touchdown percentage previous career high was 6.8. Yeah, that first year with the Rams. So then the question is, should we expect this to regress towards his average, or is this that outlier season for him? I mean, mathematically you should always expect it, but I would...
Starting point is 00:22:47 He had... I keep rolling the dice. I'll always remember his third season. Oh, yeah. Because that was the 41 touchdown season. He was at 6.2 that year. It dipped to 2.8 the next year, but it was a special year.
Starting point is 00:22:59 ride it. Right it while you can and enjoy the ride. I also think that when you are in the MVP race, you know what I mean? Like he is. The coach wants to give you a couple extra gold line targets. Absolutely.
Starting point is 00:23:20 You might end up with a couple tap passes. Like the old Lamar's in the race at the end of the year. Like maybe we play action a little bit more. Yeah. Would you, you a couple of Ken walkers here. No. Ken Walker, Kareem Hunt against Denver.
Starting point is 00:23:36 Because we know Pacheco's hurt. Right. I've got him back to back. I've got one spot. Probably Kareem Hunt. As you're chasing a touchdown. Mari DiMarcato or Ken Walker? Walker. I think it's still go Walker there. Okay.
Starting point is 00:23:51 That's way closer than it should be. Yeah, that conversation. Oh, that's disgusting. Well, I mean, Mike, if you really want to keep your momentum there's another Ken Walker Don't try and knock me off my cloud No no no no we want your cloud
Starting point is 00:24:08 Quatro this thing go lasso Walker show us their power and pull him up on that Cloutgeron guys I can only do so much Don't leave him down there It makes me want to bet on Walker now It does make me feel like Walker's going to blow up It's all the if Walker blows up this week Walker has a two touchdown week
Starting point is 00:24:26 Mike will be scared of Mike Blake will be levitating off the chair. The 49ers are 6 and 4, and they take on the Arizona Cardinals in D. Maracado. The Cardinals are 3 and 6. The Vegas line, San Fran on the road, minus 3. They get some weapons back. Overrunners 48 and a half. That's a nice overrunner.
Starting point is 00:24:45 It gives the Cardinals 23 points. San Francisco around 26. San Francisco won a nasty one, 16, 15, somehow, because the Cardinals had dominated the whole game, and they came back and kicked a field. to win it. Marve, just like his appendix, will be out.
Starting point is 00:25:04 Nice. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, the Cardinals will not have Marvin Harrison. They will not have Zay Jones, who has had a big role on the team, who tore his Achilles. They probably will not have Bam Knight. If he is back, he will be limited. DeMarcato
Starting point is 00:25:20 seems like the one to play from that group. He can catch the ball. He has breakaway runs frequently. It's not a huge... I mean, you just heard the breakdown, so it's in the Ken Walker tier. Yeah, I can't imagine wanting to start Demarcato. I know he's had some breakaway runs, but he only have four carries last week. If I had to start a Cardinal, I probably would prefer DeMarcato over Bam Knight, who was limited in practice this week, but I'm not excited. If Bam Knight really doesn't play, if he's absent from the game, then DeMarcato becomes interesting.
Starting point is 00:25:48 Trey McBride is a lock for a high, high floor this week with good ceiling opportunity with Jacoby, who has been the quarterback 312, 10, 10 in four starts. averages 280 passing yards a game, which means you should be able to find another player that's startable. I mean, the defense for San Francisco is not good, especially against the wide receiver position. They give up 34 points a week, and currently we've said no names. So to me, Michael Wilson.
Starting point is 00:26:17 It is, at least of note, Jacobi's started four games. Yeah. So the first five weeks of the season, Michael Wilson with Kyla Murray was averaging 10 yards a game, 10 receiving yards a game with Jacoby. It's 45. So that's nothing, you know, if you play it, you're, and get 50 yards or you're not very happy, but saying the opportunity for someone who has been producing of late is there. It's nasty, but it's worse. Parker, Washington or Michael Wilson? I think that's a good question. I would. go i'd go parker the way i'm not going to go away from that target totals i think i'm michael wilson there the the injury on parker scares luther burdner michael wilson wilson okay yeah um the charie mcbyte's story has been great ricky pearsall how confident
Starting point is 00:27:12 would you be to throw him back out there i'd be i'd be nervous i'd be nervous but i would do it immediately that's i think that's exactly where i am wow so you would bench jennings uh yeah Pearsall? Yeah. Yeah, I would. Okay. George Kittle, keep it going. CMC, he's only on pace for 459 opportunities. Oh, no. That's going to, and he just keeps going on. You better be sleeping in some
Starting point is 00:27:38 sort of mystical chamber right now. 459 opportunities. Yeah. He's built differing. Are you? You can't do that. He is still a human. Like, yes. Yeah, certainly. Oh, man.
Starting point is 00:27:53 But this is their... It's going to be turning to mince meat. Yeah, I mean, they just haven't had anybody else to lean on. Yeah. No, I think this team really does need Pearsall. Pierceal was, I believe he was leading the league in yards, receiving yards per game. He was, yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:08 And so, yeah, he was leading the league when his first three weeks, yeah. But it was only a three week, three week sample before the injury. And the thing with Pearsall, Shanahan says he's going to play. I wouldn't put him in your lineup. on Friday afternoon and walk away. I would
Starting point is 00:28:27 Because of Shana Hanigans? Correct. Like I put it at high, high odds he's going to play. I'm just saying with the way that San Francisco does start. Oh! Oh no! Andy's almost upset of the week. Wait a minute. What are you doing?
Starting point is 00:28:48 What? You don't have to do this. I'm just hitting the button. Just hit in the button It's been a minute By the way Are you going to care about Brock Purdy As a fantasy player
Starting point is 00:28:59 Before the end of the year Yes or no Yes Okay Baltimore 4 and 5 Cleveland 2 and 7 The Vegas line Baltimore Minus
Starting point is 00:29:06 7 and a half The overhunter is 38 and a half At least I'm getting the reaction I need for it to be right I just That's a That's a hefty amount of pain
Starting point is 00:29:18 Here's do you want the argument or no Sure The argument is the pass rush for the 49ers is the worst in football since they lost Nick Bosa. They don't put pressure on the quarterback. And if you don't put pressure on Jacoby Brissette, he dices people
Starting point is 00:29:32 up. That's what he's done. And I have confidence in the Cardinals' defense. You got Brock Pretty coming back from an injury. I think dice enough. I think they'll do enough. You guys don't have to believe. No, no. No, no. I just have to watch. I recognize the sorcerer, but I'm saying, can they dice enough with Michael Wilson
Starting point is 00:29:52 and Greg Dorch. Don't forget Xavier Weaver Oh, yeah, yeah. The guy this year when we saw him on the field, we went, who is that?
Starting point is 00:30:01 Yeah. I mean, they've diced. As Cardinal fans, as professional football analyst who live in Arizona Cardinals fan where I've never heard of this guy. With all due respect,
Starting point is 00:30:10 he has diced without Marvin Harrison in some of those games. Two of the games that they, where he diced up the defense, guess what the total yardage was for Harrison,
Starting point is 00:30:19 32 and 58. They can get a doubt. They still at least have to pay it attention to Marv, though. Even if he doesn't get the ball. Hey, look, I hit the button. This will be a fun one. I've already introduced the next game.
Starting point is 00:30:28 Baltimore, four and five, Cleveland 2 and 7, Baltimore minus 7 and a half on the road over under just 38. Gives Baltimore enough points, but not Cleveland. 15 and a half there. Let's start with the Cleveland side. Baltimore smushed them. 41, 17 in week two. Lamar is going to play.
Starting point is 00:30:43 He is playing well. The other side there, Quinchon Judkins against the world is what it feels like. Yeah. And the Ravens defense in the last six weeks, Jason? Very good. So much better. I mean, they are shutting down the run.
Starting point is 00:30:59 Quarterbacks aren't doing much better. Mike brought this up a couple weeks ago talking about how early in the year with all the injuries to the Ravens defense and when they were losing most of their games and just anyone could do anything they want. They went to their buy. They came back. They got healthier and they also schematically just changed things. They've really been locked down.
Starting point is 00:31:17 And I don't expect the Browns with. Gillen Daybriol, as you would say. As I call him. I don't expect them to be the ones to revert Baltimore to a bad defense. So yeah, I mean, it's quench on Judkins. And I think that's it. I'm not sure I even want to start Harold Fanon, who is awesome. You know, I think that's it.
Starting point is 00:31:42 Like, just Judkins. I just took a quick look in our League of Record if Jerry Judy was rostered. Is he? Oh, yeah, that guy back there. That's the Judy manager back there. I just picked him up on waivers. Oh, did you really? Is he in your lineup?
Starting point is 00:31:58 Yep. Okay, all right. That's how bad it's going for last year's jam. Gill and Gabriel's going to have to throw that ball a lot. I did see one other person had a claim on Jerry Judy this week. Oh, no. Oh, no. Who was it?
Starting point is 00:32:14 Jason, you care to fess up? Oh, Jason. No. What are you? What's what about? Oh, Derek Judy. No, I, earlier in the week, I had no players. You want to marry him.
Starting point is 00:32:28 So I, you're under the bus too. No, no, no. He did that, he had two by-week situations. He told me, he had like Calvin Austin in his lineup. Yeah, and I made trades and I fixed my lineup because I would never. The Baltimore side you love Lamar, you play Derek Henry, but do you really want to mess around with tight ends when you know Andrews and likely are both going to be kind of tight end or bust situation.
Starting point is 00:32:50 Zayflowers. They are one top 24. But they're always tight end. So I don't think they'll bust. If it's tight end or bust, they're always going to be a tight end. You meant touchdown or bust, idiot. I did. I didn't mean touchdown or bust.
Starting point is 00:33:09 Did I say tight end or bud? Yes, you did. Okay, that was pretty dumb. Deflowers, though, one top 24 finish. I wonder if you'd play him or D.K. McHaff against Sincy in that high over under. Yeah. It, this is my everlasting, every week struggle. Oh, yeah, you have both those dudes.
Starting point is 00:33:23 Zay Flowers or D.K. Metcalf. It's, D.K.M.K.F. is in my lineup right now, just based off of game script. You want pieces of that Pittsburgh game. I know what will happen because is D.K. Metcrap. But process-wise, it still says I'm going to play him. Yeah, you usually love playing guys against Cincinnati. It's just try to play. You do.
Starting point is 00:33:50 You do. Try to play people against Cincinnati and against the Cowboys and don't watch. Try it with the home. Mecalf against. He was three for 50 last time. Against Cincinnati. 100 billion dollars, multiple draft picks. Three for 50 against the world's worst defense.
Starting point is 00:34:13 Unbelievable. Candy diet. Kansas City, five and four. Denver, eight and two, in Denver. Kansas City favored by three and a half on the road here. No respect, right? Eight and two division leader. Denver is over under 44.
Starting point is 00:34:30 Denver's not been playing good on one side of the ball. I mean, their defense is absolutely outstanding. They're shutting people down. They are winning ball games for them. But, I mean, they, you know, the last two weeks, you're talking about putting up 18 points and 10 points. The Chiefs have a higher point differential at 5 and 4 than the 8 and 2
Starting point is 00:34:51 Denver Broncos. The Chiefs we know are much better than 5 and 4 and I think we know that Denver's not an 8 and 2 team. And no disrespect to them. They are an 8 and 2 team, but I just mean from a threat standpoint right now, they are a little bit like Philly and the fact that they have a good record,
Starting point is 00:35:08 but you want to see their offenses play better. Bonix is weird because he's not getting pressured. He's pressuring himself. He's getting out of the pocket too soon. He's throwing on the run for no reason. He's only completing 6 to 1% of his passes, despite being pressured the least in football. If you want to know what the wise guys think of Kansas City,
Starting point is 00:35:30 they are currently the betting favorite for the Super Bowl. It makes sense. It's like what a wild world we had, where those first three weeks, you're like, holy crap, is it done? Are the Kansas City Chiefs? Has it finally hit a point where they, It can be stopped, and now they're five or four, and they're the favorites to win the whole league.
Starting point is 00:35:52 Mahalms on pace for 4,400 yards and 32 passing touchdowns. It has been very nice to have Rashi Rice back on this offense. We're not sure if Worthy will be out there. He's been limited in practice this week, and he's only got one top 24 finish. If he was out, is there a dart throw you care about? Probably not against Denver. Probably not.
Starting point is 00:36:11 It would be Thornton for me, but no. now you're going to have kareem hunt all alone pretty much starting for kansas city but it's against again the denver defense rb two yeah yeah yeah that's fair he's been he was rb 11 rb 16 last week you know last week was the no pacheco 78% of the snaps only 13 opportunities but high likelihood of scoring is it going to be harvey and bidet only or are we going to get a third is mclaughlin still on that roster? Yeah, he might be involved, but the we had some more Sean Payton talking
Starting point is 00:36:49 about Harvey. I'll talk about Pat Bryant, which was nice. But Harvey is like, this is it. This is his travion opportunity. R.J. Harvey's a good player. And he's excellent in the receiving game
Starting point is 00:37:05 as well. And I think that's where he's going to have to be utilized this week. What are your thoughts on Cortland Sutton? I feel like Would you rather start Kareem Hunt or R.J. Harvey in this game? They both have the injury ahead of them. Wow. They're both playing tough defenses.
Starting point is 00:37:20 I'm on the R.J. Harvey side. I think I'm on the Harvey side, yeah. Three of our top 20 most popular starts-hit questions involve Harvey. Harvey or Kamani Vidal is number four. I'd go Vidal. Harvey or Rashad White is number eight? I'd go Harvey. I'm okay. I'd go on Harvey there.
Starting point is 00:37:35 Harvey or Woody Marks is also on there. I'd go Harvey. I think it's Harvey there. And then a flex question, Jameson Williams or RJ Harvey? Harvey Wow I think I'm in on Harvey Okay
Starting point is 00:37:48 I do you think I think it's like a 44 and a half point over under two good defenses I think that's the only threat to all of this production is that you get into one of those 1615 type of games
Starting point is 00:37:59 you know I'm definitely worried about Cortland Sutton he's only average three receptions per game honestly Sutton has been basically Denver Metcalf yeah yeah yeah I mean it's been the case not enough work
Starting point is 00:38:13 Not enough touchdowns. On the season, he has been much better than D.K. Metcalfe, like through the first seven weeks, you had two extremely disappointing games and five games where you're very, very happy. But the trend of, like, the trend of six targets going to your number one guy who's got the money, it makes no sense. Well, the catch percentage has been down to because Bo Nix has been one of the most inaccurate intermediate passers. The last three games, if you plot that out for Sutton over the year, it's not impressive. It's 45 for 600. Now, like, if my confidence that Sutton gets it going over the second half versus DK is heavily on the Cortland Sutton side.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Okay. All right. Travis Kelsey. Sure. Just play him. Yeah. Yeah. We'll take a break.
Starting point is 00:39:04 We've got some more matchups. Sunday night football, Monday night football, and a fantasy face-off. You know, when I said fantasy face-off before the break, Jason gave me a little look. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like he knew. I don't even know who it is. Who is it this week? Well, oh, is it?
Starting point is 00:39:24 I don't know. It was a tie between Jason and I. Yeah. We went down, our tiebreakers were insane. So close. Because, like, I missed my two by one catch and then, I think, four passing yards. I was seven total yards away from hitting everything. So you guys should have just hit everything like I did.
Starting point is 00:39:42 So, yeah, it. I'm going to this week. It's a lot more fun when you do. But so the tiebreaker just was that Jason made us think that he had perished. I'm worried about this show. He was in a better place technically. I'm worried about this one.
Starting point is 00:39:58 Romeo Dobbs would agree. Because I got in, an owl asked me for my lineup, which he does not ask the person. Oh, no, did you? Yeah, he's like, hey, can you just in case? Yeah, just in case, in case what? In case I can't see, read, breathe, we'll find out. Stay tuned.
Starting point is 00:40:18 Nice. Oh, the irony of thinking you were dead on Tuesday and maybe killing you on Friday. You're just going to give me a piece of old tenderloin. Eat up. Food poisoning. Before we jump, we're in the Sunday night game. We're about to be. I just, guys.
Starting point is 00:40:37 Remember when Henderson had three touchdowns last night? The pure. real joy is amazing. You had such a good night, Mike. Oh, man. I'm happy, man. I'm happy for you. That was the best. That was the best. After the two, it was like, oh, we're done. I was driving next to Mike on the, on the drive-in, and we were, I was matching his speed. He didn't see me for a little while. And I looked over and I saw a happy person. I just saw a glow, a glow. He has no resting angry face. He always has a resting angry face. Not today. Not today, baby. It was impressive.
Starting point is 00:41:16 All right, Detroit, six and three, Philly, seven and two. Here we go in Philly. Yes. This is a fun one. Sunday night football, this will be great. Philly minus two and a half, over under 46.5. It's a pretty important game in terms of the NFC playoff picture. The Detroit games this year, we've been, we've loved them.
Starting point is 00:41:35 I mean, they have been the third most points per game in the league in terms of combined total points in Detroit games. I do think Philadelphia, we've said this this week, I've made my efforts to trade for him, it didn't work. I do think A.J. Brown's going to get it going over the second half of the year. Jason, you made him your start of the week because of your confidence in A.J. Brown, the Lions defense, you know, I think you can beat them for some big plays here. So, DeVante Smith, A.J. Brown, I play them with confidence. lines giving up 32 fancy points a game to wide receivers. So it's not very complicated from a start-sip perspective in this game. Hertz, Barclay, play the big two wide outs. You can dance with Goddard if you want to dance with the devil.
Starting point is 00:42:22 Yeah. Would you rather have someone like Otten where you're a little bit more confident in the involvement? Yeah. Goddard's going to be high in the rankings because he's been getting it done. but in terms of just the chance of a big whiff, like a big swing and a miss, it's more on the Goddard side than on. I don't know the exact number.
Starting point is 00:42:45 Maybe Kyle has it, but Jamir Gibbs is on the cusp of breaking like a total rushing touchdown record at his age. I think it's very, very close. He's been awesome. Three touchdowns last week. You know, it's amazing to break a record like that or be near a record like that when you're in a committee.
Starting point is 00:43:04 It's also amazing to be near a record like that when you're in a committee and you're an undersized back. This isn't Derek Hintr. Touchdowns are the goal line, big body bruising guy. And this is like the little speedster. Yeah, he gets listed out of weight that I don't agree with. Weird. Too high or too low. Too low. You think he is no longer 200 pounds. No, he's not 200 pounds. He's probably 215. He's a very spelt young man. I'm on raw, of course, Gibbs, of course. Leporta, I think you need to monitor the back limitations and practice this week,
Starting point is 00:43:42 but if he's active, I'm okay. You know, if you've been playing him, I'm okay with it. But Jamo, he's been heating up. They've been getting him the ball closer to the line of scrimmage. Yes, yeah, his A dot has been much different as of recent, you know, the past two games compared to the way that the game or the season started for him, which that will turn into a much safer Jameson Williams with ceiling. So the-
Starting point is 00:44:12 The yardage has been up there the last two weeks? I think the difference is real. The fact that it was talked about and then they put it into action. And now we're at two weeks. NBA jam rules are- Was that conversation about, did that happen during the buy? I think so. So coming out of the buy much better.
Starting point is 00:44:30 Yeah, and then last week, obviously, the play-calling change where Dan Campbell took it over, so he's actually, you know, facilitating what he wants to have happen. Gives you a little bit more confidence in Jameson. I still don't see him as a must start simply because he's got, you know, two good games in a row. Would you play Matt Calf or Jameson? I'd play Jameson. I think I would go Matt Caff there against Cincinnati. Yeah, it's actually, I'm looking at our Starts-State tool right now.
Starting point is 00:44:55 We have them 19 and 24, so Matt Caff is in the lead right now, just because that matchup is so juicy, and the overrunder is a little higher. They're favored, but it's close. And if you've been burnt, like, if you've been burnt by Metcalf a bunch of weeks in a row, I don't blame you for mixing it up here because I think the Sunday night game is going to be pretty fun. We have a Monday night game between Dallas at 3, 5, and 1, and the Las Vegas Raiders, who are 2 and 7, Vegas line, Dallas minus 3 and a half, the overruner is 50 and a half. I have gotten the impression via Twitter and start sit tool in this office and other people's
Starting point is 00:45:30 lineups that I've seen. there is a surprising amount of relying upon the Raiders going on for this week. Yeah. It's really relying upon the Cowboys defense. Right, which I do, I recognize there's been a really, really good bet, but also a good bet has been anti-Geno. Yeah. So I do, I think you are still, you're playing your odds, right,
Starting point is 00:45:56 that they should be able to have some success. It's nice that they're out home. It's nice that Dallas can't play defense. but you're still playing some roulette, right? Of course. You're still, I mean, to have Brock Bowers come from the week he had off the injury dominant to a catch, that is the Gino roulette, right? And when you are now mixing in not established whiteouts like Trey Tucker or Jack Bess or Thornton
Starting point is 00:46:19 and established but retiring Tyler Lockett, it does add some fear into your brain. These are not, these are lower probability plays, but this week, if you need someone, I both lock it. I mean, I, I strapped on the, the unattainium underpants for Tyler Lockett and Trey Tucker. They're both in play. The two weeks ago, the first week back with Brock Bowers,
Starting point is 00:46:49 that was against Jacksonville. Good defense, but beatable. Then it was on the road against Denver. That one is like, You expect more from Brock Bowers each and every week, but it at least makes sense. And now you're at home against Dallas. I am facing Trey Tucker in a matchup.
Starting point is 00:47:09 Oh, that has to be hilariously terrifying. I am simultaneously happy and afraid. Yes. I'm like, cool, I'm playing against Trey Tucker. Also, he scored three times earlier this year. Yeah, this is a, it's going to be really, really cool to see because Dallas has added defensive pieces. They had a buy week to implement it.
Starting point is 00:47:31 So they're coming off the buy, and they're getting a mediocre, at best, offense to face in the Raiders. And so we're going to learn a lot this week because if Gino goes out and looks great and Trey Tucker has a good game and Lockett's fine and Bowers' is, then delicious, delicious.
Starting point is 00:47:48 The Cowboys still stink. If the Cowboys are able to go from historically bad defense to meh? defense, which would be terrible. We'll find out this week. They gave up 27 against Arizona, but they did sack Chacobo five times. Yeah, it will be, you're right. We'll find out this week.
Starting point is 00:48:10 Las Vegas, they can't pressure you right now. And Dak, your start of the week, Lamb Pickens, Giovante, Ferguson. Are we just playing your cowboys? We did get the official word that Dalton Kincaid has been ruled out for week 11. We thought that was coming, but that Khalil Shakir's ankle is, quote, in a good spot. That's probably where all of our ankles are. According to head coach, Sean McDermott, expect to see him out there.
Starting point is 00:48:38 All right? I don't think we have any other updates, do we? I don't see. Tyler Lockett was limited on Thursday, but they're the Monday night game, so that's his Wednesday practice. But still pay attention due to him being ready for ARP. yes no all right have a good weekend everybody sorry fantasy face off presented by prize picks well uh jason's got a little fear going on right now
Starting point is 00:49:13 he gets to spin it wheel of shame All right. Let's see. So close last week. Oh, Jason's mustache is on the wheel. Oh, gosh. Please. Just be a razor. Make him shame. Oh, that would be so good. Uh, rainy day. Peace out. Peace out. Oh, like you. Like you did on. Yeah. Like I did. Oh, my gosh. What? He's bringing me a plate. You got a plate of tinderloins here. Oh, my gosh. What is this raw beef? Salisbury steak.
Starting point is 00:49:48 Oh, these look disgusting. These aren't real. Oh, those aren't real. Okay. I was like, do I have to eat? That's just a prop. Oh, man. What's real is your piece-out mask. Oh, yeah, I won't see anything. Yeah, we'll read your line up for you there, Jay. You pieced out on us. We'll piece out on you.
Starting point is 00:50:06 It kind of looks like rabbit ears. A little bit. I thought at first. What in the world is that thing? Oh, my gosh. That's the finger. There's not even holes. There's no holes.
Starting point is 00:50:16 There's slits. No. We need to stay on Jason's camera right here. Oh, my gosh. Why in the world is that? There's, I can barely breathe. You've got a breath hole. I think it only lets hair out.
Starting point is 00:50:29 Oh, peace out, bro. Oh, yeah, I will be piecing out very soon. We better get through the, have a tenderloin. All right, quarterback. No, no. I'm going. Joe Flacco. Oh, baby.
Starting point is 00:50:45 I love it. More than 262.5 passing. Oh, I love it. I'm going, this is gross. I'm going, Gino, Gino Smith. Okay. I'm taking more than. whatever his projection was because
Starting point is 00:50:57 223 and a half passing yards. You said receiving yards, but yes, passing her. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, I like that. Um, I'm going back to the well on this one. We got that is sensational. At first, at first I really thought it was on middle finger. Did you?
Starting point is 00:51:14 I thought we were just going straight bird. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, oh. Uh, we got uh, gill and abriel. Oh, okay. That's going to be a less. Yeah. No, you're thinking the wrong direction. Okay. 32 and a half passing attempts.
Starting point is 00:51:31 Oh. Okay. So we're going to go the more. All right. He's going to have to throw the ball like 30 times in the second half. My running back this week, Jekori Kroski Merritt. Oh, oh. That's a last.
Starting point is 00:51:43 Hold on, hold on. I don't have a good vibe here. This dude has not been getting it done. I think the other guys are going to get more work. 32.5 rushing yards, I'm taking the less. Yeah. That's his projection. It is. I'm going. And he's been under that a lot. I'm going to go with one that I like. This is probably the one I like the most this week.
Starting point is 00:52:06 It is Chase Brown. Oh, I already like it. I believe it's 19 and a half receiving yards. That is correct. And I'm going more than that. I like it. He's been crushing that with. No, that's a good one. I was able to jump in on this one a bit earlier on the week. We got R.J. Harvey, ladies and gentlemen. at two and a half receptions. I am taking the more. All right. Wide receiver? It's Jason and Al Borland's guide.
Starting point is 00:52:32 Jerry Judy's. No way. No, wait. What are you doing? 40.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more. Okay. You're going more?
Starting point is 00:52:40 I'm taking more with Judy. Wow. You did that on purpose. This man. Yep. You were living recklessly. I did it on purpose. I got Gill and Gabriel.
Starting point is 00:52:49 This is going to be my green goblin. I'm going with a player that I just, I really, really, really have loved, Taz Johnson. What is his green goblin? It's like, where am I? 19 and a half receiving yards. 19 and a half receiving yards.
Starting point is 00:53:04 What? Give me that. Oh, yeah. I'm going more. Yeah, that's not bad. I'm realizing I probably should have found a tire of the locket one, but I got T. Higgins, 59 and a half receiving yards. I'm taking the more.
Starting point is 00:53:15 Tight end, my green goblin, 19.5 receiving yards. I'm taking the more. It's Jake Ferguson. Oh, 20 yards. That's all he needs, huh? Yeah, 19.5. See, I got a higher line. Mine's Zach Ertz.
Starting point is 00:53:26 I think he's at like 41 and a half receiving yards. I love that speculative. Well, because I'm doing it all from memory. I can't see anything. It's impressive. And I'm ready to pass out. I'll take less on 60 seconds of me surviving. But yeah, I'm taking more than 41.5 receiving yards for Zach Ertz.
Starting point is 00:53:48 What was your goblin, Andy? Ferguson. Oh, yeah. The 19.5. Yeah. I, we all, my green goblin is my tight end position as well. It's T. McBride, T. McB. Oh, boy. We got five and a half receptions, boys. So we, uh, we should probably double that this week. Probably doing okay. That was fantasy faceoff presented by
