Welcome to the Fantasy Footballers Podcast
with your hosts, Andy Holloway, Jason Moore and Mike Wright. Oh, welcome in
Friday the 13th the fantasy footballers podcast I
Think this is why we exist gentlemen, I think this is why the podcast
Is here as we it's time for some therapy. We're here to sit with you in the middle of
Your sadness, I mean last week we thought it couldn't get worse We had Jayden Reed goose and folks as they tried to get into the playoffs
You know, it's worse
goose
While you're in the playoffs a Cooper cup of nothing a
glass not half full
Completely empty. Yeah
So, you know
here we are a
touchdown list Thursday night football game and it's not good.
It's not good that if you had some of the duds in this game, you certainly hoped your opponent
played players from the same game. I mean, that weren't named probably Kyron and Puka because
wasn't a big game for Kittle, Forrest Chomp, Juwan Jennings.
Yeah, the 49ers side, it's a disaster.
I mean, yeah, Juwan Jennings, nine targets.
Nine targets.
Turned into two for 31.
If you didn't watch the game,
it was a very wet, rainy game as well.
Heavy rain pour.
As they call it?
Yeah.
Rain pour.
Is that not a thing?
Rain pour?
Yeah.
Well heavy rain, heavy rain pour.
No, no, no, no.
Down pour.
I don't know, I'm maybe.
There's a heavy down pour.
Is that what I was looking for?
I mean, a heavy rain pour has never been uttered before.
Yeah, down pour is what you're looking for.
But we knew where you were going on that one.
All right. You've had way worse. Oh, thank you, Mike. Not today. So, well,
I'll get there. It's early. I'll get there. The show's just starting. But yeah, it was
a wet game and it turned into one of those occasional divisional slugfests where the
two defenses are up for the task, and the weather mixed with the fact
that these teams see each other often,
just the offenses could not get anything going.
If I told you that Jennings had nine targets,
and Kittle had seven targets,
and Isaac Grinnell got all the work on the ground.
Yeah, 16 carries and four targets.
Yeah, you would have expected a great game out of that.
And you know, on the other side, it was volume and accumulation
for Kyron Williams, 29 for 108.
There were no touchdowns in the game.
Matthew Stafford started three for 11.
Both quarterbacks, not good.
Stafford outperformed Purdy, because Purdy had a pick.
But the story was Cooper Cup.
And that is the reaction that a lot of people are going to go into.
I mean, three targets, no catches and the outpouring of what do I do now?
I mean, I am in that boat, fortunately, not in league of record or dynasty, but
in three leagues, I have Cooper Cup and I have zero points in all three of them.
And now, you know, the messages coming in are,
how much do I react to this?
You know, do I make other changes to my lineup?
You know, what's the appropriate reaction
to a zero on Thursday night football?
Is my season over because of one player scoring nothing?
No, your season is definitely not over.
There are Gooses every single week week and while it's not helpful, that's you know, the the gooses will more often
be on the losing team. There are plenty of times that you can overcome a goose.
You will make some changes. Now you don't have to. You don't need to get crazy, but
look at your projected total and your opponent's projected total. You know, if
it was close because you had, uh, you know, you were,
you were a five point underdog and Cooper cup had 15 projected points.
Now you're a 20 point underdog. Okay. Well now maybe you,
you look at your matchup and say this flex option
player is the wide receiver for his quarterback.
That's not going gonna catch me up.
Maybe I pivot to someone else or, you know, you take.
There were moves like a pivot to pivot type of questions
of like, okay, do I sit DJ Moore now
to play Darnell Mooney because Cup got me zero?
Yeah, I mean, that's not the example.
To me, it's more of you're looking for
someone that can go crazy.
Is it the switch to Winston off of Baker?
Winston is, that's the type of dynamite
that sometimes you need.
Although, I will say this specifically,
because I had, I've got Winston right now,
he's got a bad weather matchup potentially
in his outlook as well.
Yeah, I mean, when you have a game like that,
you are hoping that, you know,
your opponent's not gonna get a goose probably,
but is it, you know, is it a player that,
you know, Amon Ra last week,
Amon Ra was a seven point fantasy player,
Amon Ra St. Brown, that is his lowest output of the week.
Zero versus seven, that is not a defining difference
in a matchup, you can overcome seven seven points your opponent can have a down game there are injuries there are
big plays if you are this far in fantasy football that means you've been paying
attention the whole year you know what lists have been very long every Monday
this year the pooped in the pants list we We've, like, guys are underperforming.
And this is, it's not the end.
It feels awful, but hopefully you were able
to sleep it off and say, okay, it's not done.
There's still plenty more games to go.
You know what it is the end for?
What's that? Debo.
I mean, he was, dude.
Debo would be a big story if it wasn't for the fact that
Hopefully everyone was already benching Devo. Oh man because
Devo had seven targets
And two carries his opportunities his opportunities were great. He finished with 19 combined yards
Just he's he's it's rough man. I feel like they're, they have to cut him this off season.
I mean, his value is going down.
He's on the market, or right now.
Sometimes this happens where teams seem to like,
it's a simultaneous thing where it's like,
well, maybe they're, they're underwhelming, underperforming,
but then the team is also going away from them
because they're not part of the future
Right, like if the plan is bring brock purdy back get iute back from injury pierce all jennings
Uh, debo's not part of that. So why would you build your offense around debo right now if you're transitioning?
his plummet in production is
like that that really
age comes for everyone and he's at like he was on the precipice of he was he was a trade away in our
So our dynasty pass we I try and highlight some players who I'm willing to trade away
I thought deep but you might want to get out from Debo not because of this like this is
Like this is actual catastrophic. I thought Debo would just be not worth his redraft price and still give you some points,
but holy crap.
There was a point during the year after the IUC injury where I think if Jason could have
traded for Debo in every league, he would have.
Yeah, yeah.
Because at that juncture, what else lines up?
I mean, it's-
It really did seem like Debo should go on a run to take over.
I mean, in the years prior, when one of those guys has been injured, the other just becomes
a sensational star.
And you don't have CMC or Mason.
Yeah.
It's insane.
But it looks like it's gone.
It does not compute.
It looks like it's lost it.

Today's winner, Trent Cram from the Independent
is the name of the winner.
That's the Ted Lasso?
Yes, yes.
So congratulations.
Always reading the usernames over there
at jointhefoot.com.
You have won today.
Congrats, let's talk news.
News and notes from around the league presented
by USAA insurance. I see Al Borland in the kind of festive clothing that says he's got
a an air of confidence in his matchup this week. That's not what it says. Congrats. It
just says I look good. I get where you're.. Yeah, man, look, he's got the, are those palm trees or what's going on over there?
Yeah, we're gonna call them palm trees.
Palm trees.
Starfish.
Well.
Other plants.
No, whatever, they're palm trees.
They're palms.
He's got the sunglasses on the hat.
Oh, yeah.
I mean, like, this guy is either ready for a tea time
or a cruise at, like, just the drop of a hat.
He knows that the three of us are leaving early today.
You know what I mean?
Al, go ahead and head over to Twitter.
Grab the graphic I have sitting on my Twitter profile.
I made a small tweak to the King Ghidorah meme
that I thought we should share maybe on the show.
I enjoyed it.
As I go through the news, the Jags tight end,
Evan Ingram, surgery, torn labrum, out for the year.
So on Wednesday when Coach Peterson said Evan Ingram,
he's gonna miss practice, but I think he's gonna play.
Maybe he didn't know.
Yeah, oh, I mean.
He meant again, someday.
But how do, at that point, do they not know?
If a guy's shoulder is hurting that bad,
that they're like, oh, we should probably go look at this.
The Chiefs have opened up the 21 day window
for Hollywood Brown to return to the team
just in time for another playoff run.
That's, you know, a good time for the Chiefs,
not for fantasy.
Cedric Tillman, limited, still dealing with the concussion.
David Njoku remains sideline.
We've got the report.
He's not expected to play.
We got that late in yesterday's show and I was worried about this one.
Maybe I'm wrong to be worried even now, but Tony Pollard once again not seen and didn't
practice on Thursday.
That's Wednesday and Thursday.
D and P's.
Yeah.
I mean, I brought it up a little bit when I made him my start of the week yesterday
that he missed practice. We need to monitor that because obviously him being healthy is
important. Tajay Spears I think would actually be a pretty good play if he is the only guy.
He's not as talented as Tony Pollard but he is talented in his own right. If he gets all
the work with fresher legs that would be interesting. Obviously, this isn't ruling him out
just because he's missing practice.
He's had a lot of workload this year.
So just keep monitoring up until game time.
Do we have that picture, Al?
Did you find the picture for us?
No, not yet.
Oh, cool, cool.
This computer's not logged into Twitter
and it won't let me see your most recent post
without logging in.
I'll send it to you.
Yeah, Jake Hayner starting for the Saints.
They heinous because they ain't us.
Start any defense against the Saints here on now.
Alvin Camaro remain sideline on Thursday due to an illness.
So you'll monitor that.
He should be good to go.
Malik neighbors limited on Thursday.
Hip and groin.
Hip and groin.
That's like a cool bar.
That's it.
Hey, meet me down at the hip and groin. I'd go there. Yeah. Yeah.
Drinks are on me at the hip and groin. Breeze Hall did not practice again on
Thursday. Cool. Cool. Cool. Josh Downs. Let's just let him go man. Josh Downs. Jay what are you
doing over here? You're a baffling individual. You're rooting for him to come back.
You do nothing but heap just insults
and you're angry at Brice Hall.
You want him to go away.
And he has done that.
And he's not practicing.
You're like, why are you practicing?
I want you to play.
What do you want from this man?
I want him to be great at football and play.
That's what I want.
Take a look at this guy.
Take a look at this guy up on this.
That's the guy that's the guy
that's talking about Breezal right there.
Yeah.
Josh Downs upgraded to a full practice, Jason.
If he's active, is it Josh Downs in your lineup?
He might be.
It's not a great matchup, but, you know, desperate times.
And a couple weather updates
from yesterday's situations here.
What do we know?
We know Kansas City, Cleveland could have some wind,
some showers, Cincinnati, Tennessee,
some scattered showers looking fairly likely.
What you don't know is that any sort of elements
that are outside of the player's control
can only benefit Will Levis' accuracy.
So Will Levis actually gets better if you, you know.
Interesting.
Yeah, if the ball's wet, if there's wind, snow.
I thought you were gonna say after last night
that Team Big Dome may have gotten a few more supporters.
Playoff Dome, I'm Team Playoff Dome, fantasy Playoff Dome. Okay you mean like when the weather gets
bad because it's the same time the calendar every year. Yeah when it's
consequential and not just entertainment. If only we knew when winter happens. We
don't have, I mean Jerry Jones knows but no one else. Oh yes, of course.
He knows years of it.
Are we?
Is Will Lovis one of those guys we're gonna find out
he's gonna have the like, Jamis Winston,
I finally got LASIK experience?
Remember Winston was just,
we found out Winston was blind most of his life?
Yeah, I don't think so.
Yeah, no, this is just.
Well, maybe his is not a a far or near sighted
You're near sighted when you can't I know what he can't see he can't see whatever's right
I'm saying maybe our sighted. Maybe he's far sighted. It's some readers in the pocket readers. Also what?
Is that not confusing to anybody else? I the best way I do it always I don't even know and I don't try to remember
Because I know it doesn't make sense.
But then when I try to think through it
and the far sighted means you can or cannot see far.
It's telling you like,
it's giving you the positive part of your vision
as the diagnosis, which is not.
That's the opposite of all medical diagnosis.
If I say I'm far sighted, that means I can see far.
For real?
Yeah, and if I'm near sighted, I can see close. That's the way you have to remember it, but it is backwards. I can see far. For real? Yeah, and if I'm nearsighted, I can see close.
That's the way you have to remember it,
but it is backwards.
I will never remember.
I mean, I'm trying to think of how that would apply
to like another medical situation
where you're describing the positive
to tell you what the negative is.
I don't know what that is.
You can be positive for AIDS.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, what?
I'm just saying this. Give me that graphic again. What are you doing?
You can be positive. They say you're positive. You know what I mean?
What are you doing over here, dude?
He says it knowing how incredible it is.
Jason's tomato face says it. He's like,
Oh, I shouldn't have done that.
Oh my gosh.
Oh, man, this man is living.
All right, quick.
Those are inside thoughts, Jason.
I work on this with my kids.
Like, we all have impulsive.
It's Friday, man.
It's late in the season.
Like, you sometimes have a thought immediately, you can't control it. I'm positive that wasn the season. Like you sometimes ever thought immediately,
you can't control it.
I'm positive that wasn't the best thing you've ever said.
Ken Walker not practicing,
Justin Herbert and McConkie limited.
Bucks, Mike Evans back at practice.
Bucky still a question mark.
Sterling Shepherd missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday.
Jalen McMillan, what's up, how you doing?
And these are all players that we're gonna talk about
in the matchups today, so I'm blitzing them real quick.
Pickens, still sidelined with the hamstring.
Trey McBride back out there in a limited fashion.
Dalton Kig-Kade and Keon Coleman finally going to return.
And Deandre Swift did not take part in the walkthrough
again on Thursday, which means if you really wanna,
you wanna hit that nasty button for Travis Homer,
because Rochon Johnson's not practicing either, so.
D'oh!
Oh man.
That was today's News and Notes presented by USA Insurance.

All right, we are, we are back
and we've got matchups to talk about.
Alright yesterday we covered the Chiefs, Browns, Bengals, Titans, Commanders, Saints, Ravens, Giants, Cowboys, Panthers, Jets, Jags, Dolphins,
Texans, Colts, Broncos.
Seven more matchups today, including Jason,
we get that sweet, sweet Monday Night Football
double header this week, which I am a fan.
I am a fan of that now too.
I think, you know, before most everyone was just streaming
and you had your cable company or whatever,
it was not as fun.
But when you can just kind of put both up on the screen
and swipe to the left or to the right to change your audio,
it's pretty fun.
It's only good if one of the teams,
one of the games stinks.
Because it's like, it's a backup option.
Here's the thing is, in a fantasy playoff week,
I think it's even more fun.
Because there's more players with scores
that are just hanging out there for Monday night, Monday night drama. I don't know Jason you you and Al
should look and see if what a couple things one you should look and see if
you've got anybody in that Monday night doubleheader and two you should one of
you guys should share your matchup to the Twitter sphere because I'll share
been asking I mean my my lineup changes every day though so I can't that's true
that's true it's a full now if you put your lineup on Twitter will it get flagged? Yeah yeah
they'll say this is inappropriate content. Not safe for work. He should do one of
those random name generators and put in all of his players hit the button and
just go with it. I mean it would be just as good. Okay here we go. Buffalo 10 and
3 Detroit 12 and one,
the DraftKings Sportsbook line,
Detroit minus two and a half at home,
the Over Under is a record for the 2024 season.
54 and a half fantasy points.
Oh baby. Round it up.
55!
NFL points, not fantasy points.
That's right, but did I say fantasy points?
You sure did. You know, I'm. Well, I mean, let's hope. Yeah. Well, but did I say fantasy? You sure did.
You know, I'm.
Well, I mean, let's hope.
Yeah.
Let's hope there's a lot more than that.
This is crazy.
This should be a fun one.
We got a great game last week.
Detroit's defense is hurting.
Buffalo gave up 44 points to the Rams,
who scored 12 last night.
And so let's have some fantasy output in this game.
The question marks for me are like,
do we get a bounce back performance from James Cook?
That's one of them.
A bounce back performance from Amon Ross St. Brown,
who it's been a little bit, he's left you wanting lately.
And then what do you do with the wide receiver room
in a game where you have a high over under,
where you know the Buffalo's gonna score a bunch of points,
but then at all of their positions outside of Josh Allen,
you really don't know what you're gonna get.
Yeah, it is tough.
I think that the advice is you want players in this game.
Because of the injuries to the Detroit Lions defense,
what we saw last week from the Buffalo Bills
in that Rams game when they were on the road,
it was just this insane output of scoring. That's what we saw last week from the Buffalo Bills in that Rams game when they were on the road.
It was just this insane output of scoring.
You want players in this game.
It's tough because Amari Cooper last week, 14 targets, that's fantastic, but there wasn't
Keon Coleman active.
There wasn't Dalton Kincaid active.
Now you've got more mouths to feed and it's a little bit more difficult to say with you know emphatic certainty that Amari Cooper is going to be great.
I do think Amari Cooper has a good game. The fact that he's been fully
integrated now I would want to play Amari Cooper coming off of 14 targets
in the highest over-under of the season against a very injured defense with two
awesome offenses. So when I'm
looking at this game I want these ancillary pieces. That's why I picked up
Keon Coleman. It's risky, it's a gamble, but you just think which game is gonna
have a ton of touchdowns. And this game certainly is at the top of the list this
week. Yeah you're not gonna beat Detroit unless you put points up on the board
because they're just such a machine.
It's why you can always trust Jamiro Gibbs,
who's got a DK Russian receiving line in 95 and a half,
David Montgomery, Almanra, and Jamison Williams.
Believe it or not, one of the biggest questions this week,
because if you're outside of the must start tight end
category, Dalton Kincaid's returning
to the equation this week.
And so two of our top
five questions on the website in the start sit tool are Hunter Henry or Dalton Kincade
and Pat Freyermuth or Dalton Kincade. Knowing that Pickens is going to be out and Freyermuth
is scored in two straight, Hunter Henry against Arizona. Do either of you have any confidence
in Kincade returning to the lineup with the over-under? I actually do have confidence in not playing Kinkade.
Nice.
Yeah, so Dalton Kinkade before the injury, 31 yards,
32 yards, 24 yards, that is garbage.
His season high is 52.
That's just unusable.
And keep in mind, 32 yards one of those weeks
came on 10 targets.
It hasn't worked, it's been out of sync.
I'm not using the playoffs as week one
with his first week back from injury to throw him in.
On the other side, Laporta, would you play him
over both Henry and Freyermuth in a matchup like this?
I would, yeah.
Okay.
Are there other question marks in this game?
I mean, put the three wide receivers for Buffalo in order for me is it Shakir Cooper Coleman
is it Coleman Shakir I have Shakir at the top did we mention his line his 55
his DK receiving lines at 55 and a half, and Kalinshik here is this weird player
where his name value is still low.
Even though we want pieces of a Josh Allen offense,
he's the wide receiver 28 on the year.
He's averaging more than 10 points a week.
He's not a, every single week
you're expecting humongous things, but he has been really solid
for that arc type of a and that tier of a player.
So he's at the top for me.
Yeah, I would have Amari Cooper just from the utilization, the fact that he's more downfield,
gets air yards.
In a game like this, I would go Cooper Shakir Coleman.
But Shakir's got a pretty high floor.
There is a chance that if Cooper does have another big game
in this one that you're talking about somebody you're now.
A lead winner.
Yeah, you're now really, which he was last year.
So you'd be really confident moving forward
if he performs in this one.
Alan, amazing week last week.
And then Jared Goff, is he streamable this week?
Is he somebody that you would. For you know when you talk about that pivot if Coop
Cooper Cup disappointed you would golf be somebody that you take the shot you
know it was a few weeks ago that he had the five touchdown performance right or
yeah for yeah for touchdown performance yeah he was the number one quarterback
yeah three last week he's been throwing some touchdowns, and this is the type of game he has at home in a dome.
So yeah.
Six straight games in a dome.
Third straight game at home.
The thing about the Lions, as you know,
they will score at minimum.
Or no one knows anything.
But you feel.
I don't want to be overconfident about it.
But if the Lions don't score three touchdowns in this game,
I'd be very surprised as their floor.
Yeah, I imagine they will score four touchdowns at least.
Right.
And if that's the case, you know David Montgomery gets one
and Jameer Gibbs gets one.
That's like law.
But Gibbs could be passing.
Right.
Sometimes he gets his one in the passing game.
So the higher level point being, passing. Sometimes he gets his one in the passing game.
The higher level point being, Jason's talking about four touchdowns. You want to have a
piece of an option like that.
Yeah, and Jameson Williams is always one big play away. Same with Laporta. Pittsburgh's
10-3. They go to Philly.
Update here on Jeremy and I's matchup.
Oh yeah, yeah.
So I have no one on Monday night as of this moment
and he has two.
And on your roster, but go on.
Correct.
He has two guys named Bijon Robinson
and Justin Jefferson on Monday.
That's a lot of points.
So I'm gonna need to be up by 50, 60 points,
something like that. Yeah, you will.
And I will not be.
So Jeremy, congratulations. Pittsburgh, 10 and three, Phillies that, and I will not be. So Jeremy, congratulations.
Pittsburgh's 10-3, Philly's 11-2.
The Drafking Sportsbook line, Philly minus 5.5.
Over-under is 43.
That's fairly low here.
Battle of Pennsylvania.
Oh, so the winner?
Winner gets Pennsylvania.
They do get to get this date
They've played each other only 81 other times and Philadelphia leads the series 49 29
Yeah, I thought he said that too. That was the joke
That was the joke was they've only played each other 81 other times
You got me.
Come on.
What a great joke.
It's just no time for joking.
Yeah.
This is serious football.
Russell, Wilson, and Jalen Hurts.
The passing yards line for Hurts is 197.5.
I'll take the under.
Saquon's a lock.
And frankly, AJ Brown is too,
but you're just a bit nervous
on what he represents to your lineup.
That's all.
Yeah, he's obviously been a very squeaky wheel
the last week despite winning.
What do you think he is on the year?
Do you know the answer to that?
His wide receiver number is on the year?
Yeah, like what's his rank?
I do not know.
I would guess about 10.
Mike?
Yeah, he's a top 12 guy.
He's 24th on the year, but I forgot,
he did miss some time.
On a per game?
I'm gonna take a look at the per game real quick,
but yeah, sorry, I didn't wanna cut off what you were saying,
but you're just, you know, put him out there and expect.
Thank you, that low?
AJ Brown's at 12 in points per game.
Yeah, he's 13.2 points, yeah.
But that's, just to put it out there,
just to make this horrible for you, he's 13.2 points. Yeah. But that's just to put it out there, just to make
this horrible for you. That's where Addison is. So Addison's at the same place that Brown is.
In points per game? In points per game. And Addison's on fire right now, right? Yeah.
That is the same place that JSN is at. Yeah, but Addison. That is below McClure.
They're not playing for a state. They're not playing for the rights
to own a piece of land known as Pennsylvania.
When that's up in the air, then they're
going to go to A.J. Brown.
Right, but if you had Addison, you would go to Brown?
I would.
That's the question.
I can't.
You can't not?
I couldn't live with myself.
Die with your champions?
Yeah.
Devontae Smith, four for 37, did score last week.
You're playing Devontae Smith or Amari Cooper
in that high over-under.
That's 10 points.
I would lean towards Amari Cooper.
Same.
OK, so there is some hesitancy then
on that secondary option.
Najee, sitting at RB18 on the year, you play him.
Pickens, almost certainly going to miss this game there wasn't
The you know the pivot to Calvin Austin would have destroyed you last week one catch for him
I think van Jefferson scored Mike Williams is slowly but surely
Becoming a little bit more of the offense, but he's only out there for 30% of snap so I'm only playing Nagy because he's a running back.
You hate the matchup.
And the Muth, if you are in desperation for a tight end,
like a waiver wire type of a tight end,
which there are some teams out there like that.
But everybody else, Russ, I'm not playing,
and none of the wide receivers will be out there for me.
Yeah, George Pickens missing this game
actually hurts, I think, a lot of the players because I
worry about whether or not the Steelers will be able to score enough points to
push the Eagles to be able to need AJ Brown and and Devontae Smith so it was
really sad that he's gonna miss this game. I you know the over-under I was not
surprised to see it come in at only 43. Yeah, and I would lean the under.
These are two good defenses,
and one offense is missing its primary weapon.
And, you know, for what it's worth,
Grant Calcuttero, who will get the start at tight end,
he has played, you know, last week was three for 16,
did score, right?
He's played four games this year,
we used 90 plus percent of snaps, last week was three for 16 did score, right? He's played four games this year. We used 90 plus percent of snaps.
Last week was one of them.
He was the tight end nine, 20, 20 and 11.
So, you know, it's a dart throw.
Yeah, to me that's more like DFS.
I'm not gonna play him in my playoffs.
I think there's better options.
The New England Patriots traveled to Arizona
to play the Cardinals.
Cardinals sitting at six and seven now.
The DraftKings Sportsbook line Arizona,
minus six at home, the over-under is 46 and a half.
That gives them 26 points.
New England implied point total is 20.
Arizona has lost, I think, three straight games.
Is that right?
Sounds right.
And-
Feels like eight.
This is their largest.
This is the heaviest. They've been a favorite since 2021.
So at home against Drake, may people hate the Patriots that much, huh?
I don't think they love the Cardinals that much. So yeah, yeah, I think you're right.
I mean, but, but when you look at this matchup, you look at the Cardinals
defense, like just to lay it out there, number one against quarterbacks the last six weeks,
number six against wide outs,
number three against tight ends.
So if you're looking at that Hunter Henry matchup,
you know the fact, I almost said a Mari Hooper.
That'd be a new player.
But the fact Hooper's involved,
a little bit of hesitancy just because the Cardinals
have played that position well
Kyler your start of the week Mike. Yeah, Trey McBride
Touchdown started my life touchdown guarantee this week. He's into the end zone You might as well just count on that James Connor, of course, and then Marvin Harrison
How do you where does he stack up this week in terms of your rankings? Because it's been so hot and cold.
He hasn't had a top 10 finish since week eight.
His receiving yards is at 55 and 1 half.
So Marvin Harrison Jr. supposed to be superstar
was the same line as Khalil Shakir right now.
Where do you think he is in our consensus rankings?
In our, oh.
Because you might know your own, but where do you think he's landing right now?
I think he's landing as a three, so probably a wide receiver 35ish?
30.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that's fair.
So that's not a must start.
I will say that in Marv's games, he's pretty hot and cold.
We've talked about the difference between those games where he gets the touchdown and the games where he doesn't but it's
not just because of the touchdowns usually the games where he gets
touchdown he just it has a much better game all the way around more yards more
more receptions and so if you're thinking is this the type of game that
will that will be good for Marv it does line line up pretty well to be a successful one.
Is there somebody that maybe you would have been starting,
maybe you had the Cooper Cup thing happen to you
and now you would pivot to Marv?
Is there somebody in that category?
Is it a Keenan Allen?
Is it a Devonte Smith?
Is it an Elijah Moore where now you would,
I mean, I guess you never would be playing Elijah Moore
over Harrison, but is there a baseline guy
that now you would try to shoot for the moon
with Marvin? Yeah, I think that that is one of those that makes sense.
Keenan makes complete sense.
I think Deandre Hopkins can make sense there as well, where I would probably
move Marvin in ahead.
Romandre Stevenson does play football for the Patriots.
He has seemed somewhat invisible during the
year yet is still sitting with a game missed as the RB 25 on the year so very
relevant not a lot of confidence with the Ramandre this week I know I buy to be
fair I haven't had confidence in him the entire season and he still he has games
with multi touchdowns I think he's a flex option. I mean you you saw last week Zach
Charbonneau completely go bonkers on the Arizona Cardinals in Arizona. Now that I
think that's more of the Seattle scheme. Yeah I mean that seems more like a
one-off because the Cardinals defense prior to that game had been very good
against the run so I don't expect big things
from Ramandre, but he gets enough volume where, you know, he's a flex option.
Ramandre or Pacheco?
Pacheco.
Okay. Any interest in any white outs on the New England side? Or can we move forward?
For not. I mean, if anybody, it's Douglas, and Douglas has not done anything all year.
Do you expect this to be go according to plan here?
Do you think Arizona will take care of business at home
in this game?
I think they will win.
I don't know if they're going to handle that six points,
though.
Tampa Bay 7 and 6, taking on the 8 and 5 Los Angeles Chargers,
the Draft King sportsbook line here, Chargers minus 2 and 1
1.
The over-under is 45 and a half.
I do like Justin Herbert in this game.
Yep.
Because I like quarterbacks against Tampa Bay.
And I also really want to see Lad McConkey back out there.
His receiving yards line is not indicative of an injury that's
going to impact him if he takes the field.
It's a 71 and a half.
Yeah, Lad is in.
I know he's a little dicey because you worry,
oh, will he re-aggravate the injury?
And that's, it's a fair worry.
And if that could be a tiebreaker,
if there's someone else that you have
that's a really good wide receiver in a high tier.
But without that,
I would definitely be starting Lad McConnally.
He was so good. He's so important to this team.
You have Baker and the Bucks can often put up points against good defenses.
So if this turns into a shootout, you had three top 24 performances in a row right up
before the injury.
Two of those were the wide receiver 12, the wide receiver 10.
Lad should be in your lineup.
Despite, I think, getting banged up in week seven
against Arizona and being hobbling off the field
at different times, he hasn't really had a game
where that has translated into like I'm out there,
I'm leaving for half the game.
When he's played, he's played through it.
So if they have the confidence to start him,
I'd have the confidence in him.
The fact that the prop is even out is, yeah.
Like they don't, when a player is a level of questionable,
they don't usually have a prop,
and a prop that is that juicy.
What level of terror possesses your soul at the moment
around Bucky Irving's availability,
and if he's available, what you would do?
We're at pretty...
Like it's Friday the 13th, so how terrifying.
Probably exorcist level.
Exorcist level for Bucky?
Yeah, I would say the head can spin,
the projectile can vomit.
Yeah, the projectile can vomit.
So the projectile can vomit yeah so the projectile it's a it would it would come as more of a rain pour down upon you yeah and he gets it yeah
Rashad whites my start of the week I do have confidence there Mike Evans yeah
you play him Kate Otten it's it's been scary
that's what I heard too. Five weeks since you left at me. I mean, how many weeks? How many weeks has it been? It's been four weeks.
Four weeks. Since I had confidence. Yeah. He's not been inside the top ten in four weeks. Last week he had one big play at the end of the game, a 44-yard reception that made him viable but on the course of the season the Chargers
are the number one most difficult matchup for tight ends this hurts is
that a full pivot do you want to pivot away from I would prefer to play her
from on yeah I would rather play Earth's than on right now Earth's has a
touchdown in three straight games and a much better matchup this is a difficult
matchup for him and also you, I talked about how Baker,
this often sometimes can really surprise and come out and look great, especially with Mike
Evans back. However, the Chargers have, this is a team that likes to hit the under. This
is a team that plays good defense. And so I have Baker on my roster and right now he's
not in my lineup. I would try so hard not to play him
Yeah, I'm scared of Baker and Kate Otten in this his last five games Baker's pace would be 3800 yards and 23 touchdowns
He has cooled off considerably. It's been a bummer and it's not been I mean
New York Carolina Las Vegas the last three weeks are all weeks that said start start start right? Yeah. And this week you're saying the matchup is not good. So yeah, I would try to get somebody else out.
I put Herbert out there for sure. Do you have for a running back needy team, let's say Bucky is actually out.
What's your interest in Sean Tucker?
For the Bucks?
Or do you think it'll just go really heavy Rashad White?
I think it'll be extremely heavy Rashad White.
Sean Tucker might be used around the goal line.
I mean, he's the type of player that
can come in and vulture a touchdown,
and so you could get lucky in that way.
But again, not a good matchup for projecting that.
So it would be Rashad White as a super confident start,
and I would not want wanna play with Sean Tucker.
If they were playing a horrible rush defense,
I would be willing to do it.
And then one last, it's probably a DFS play of course,
but hey, shout out to Stone Smart.
Oh yeah.
Who will be projected as the starting tight end
for the Los Angeles Chargers.
Shout out to anybody starting Stone and Sincere this week.
Hey, yeah.
Those are some grade A names.
But after Big Montana left last week with the injury,
three for 54 from Stone Smart.
All right, Sunday Night Football.
Is he the stone man?
Do you know?
Oh, dad, I don't know.
Because that would be really nice.
I know he's the stone man.
Fair.
But I don't know if he's stone man. Hope he know he's the stone man. Fair. But I don't know
if he's stone man. Hope he doesn't have stone hands. Wait it's three for 54 man one of those
kids was great. Quge would you flex him? Yeah I would. Green Bay Owls team Sunday night football
nine and four the Seahawks eight and five Draft King sportsbook line here Green Bay minus two and
a half the over-under is 45 and a
half I believe if the Packers win this ball game that would put the Rams at the
tippy top of the West with Seattle so my preseason bowl prediction of the Rams
winning the division that looked as dumb as dumb can be weeks ago somehow that
division is just so dysfunctional that
they might end up on top of it even when they can't score touchdowns.
Green Bay, they're in sixth.
They're an NFC wild card team.
Seattle is the top of the division.
What we've seen recently from these teams production wise has been the running backs.
Josh Jacobs, Zach Charbonneau last week, the opportunities, the touchdowns.
The work has been outrageous for Jacobs, the team has never been intimidated to use him
extensively.
It's not necessarily been huge, profound, efficient yardage games, but when you score
eight times in four weeks, that's pretty good. That's pretty nice.
Jason, you know, Al has got Josh Jacobs. You've got to imagine he's due for a regression.
I'm hoping that he is. This is your voodoo dark magic. I would not be surprised.
Yeah. I mean, the truth is when we were talking about earlier in the season, that he had so many
rushing opportunities and yardage with no rushing touchdowns that that was going to regress to the mean and the touchdowns
would come and now it is flipped so far back I think it is sound advice to just
say it probably is not going to stay where he's scoring a touchdown to three
touchdowns every single week and that has been hurting the passing game and the
fantasy value of some of these wide receivers.
So this could be the game.
It makes sense to me that Jordan Love
would be able to have a better game
and maybe one of these wide receivers like Jaden Reed,
wild card, goes from goose to golden goose.
The last eight weeks, number one running back,
Saquon Barkley, number two Josh Jacobs,
in points per game.
And those two are kind of separated from the field.
That's how good he has been.
So if you've been riding that,
get him in there and see if it continues.
How would you order the wide receivers?
And I guess, who is your number one?
Is it still Jayden Redolph, number one? Is it still Jayden Reed off the goose?
Is it Christian Watson?
I think it's Watson.
It's not just a goose.
The Jayden Reed's, which there are some touchdowns in here.
So like for fantasy, he has come through a little bit
over the last month, but yardage is two weeks ago or last week was zero two weeks ago was 24, 26,
23, 113, 55, 10, 28 like this has been the it's more more common for him this year to
be a low yardage. Would you rather start Jayden Reed or Keenan Allen?
Oh my gosh.
I think that it's, you know, when you look at-
Okay, Jayden Reed or Jamar Chase.
Chase.
Okay, Jamar Chase.
Way to get us going.
Way to get us started.
Thank you.
Keenan Allen gets Minnesota.
Look, I'll be the one to say it. I think Jaden Reid bounces back this week. This is not uncommon in the Packers offense. This is the head coach has said,
I hate defining anybody as the one in my offense. He hates the media doing that.
Christian Watson, you can't chase what Christian Watson just did because he never does it twice in a row.
He hasn't done that throughout his career other than a, what, three game stretcher there
in Rogers a couple years ago.
Last week, seven targets, here's what you know about Watson.
He's gonna be out there almost every play.
That's cool.
You know, is it him or Jaden Reed?
I don't think the other guys are even in the conversation
in terms of who you'd operate or order.
I mean, Dobbs and Wicks are just not
who you'd put in order ahead of it.
I'd go read Watson in the same very close ranking.
Was Reed get a touchdown?
I don't know.
Okay, I was one that.
I haven't watched the game yet.
Well, but that's what I was asking
because I was hoping it tingled the little feathers
on the back of your neck or whatever you have.
No, McBride's my, the feathers on my back.
I don't know what you do with your touchdown
yeah my feathers are tingling. Let's get that graphic back up. Let's get that bad
boy back up there. Yeah. It's Friday. No I mean I'm just saying that I think you
can go back to read that's all I'm saying. It's the wide receiver 13 on the
year. It's a game that they're gonna need to score some points and I I think that Jayden
Reid's pretty he'll be vocal it's not the it's not the zero for me where I'm
like if I'm out on Jayden Reid it's not because of the zero it's because it's
been consistently rough all right and then DK Metcalfe JSN are both of them
ahead of the Packers wide receivers yeah Yeah. And in the opposite order of how I just read it.
Yeah, JSN.
I mean, wild.
And Charbonne is sitting pretty this week.
I mean, he's a top 15 guy by consensus for us.
For sure.
The last six weeks, the Packers are 25th against running back.
So over the course of the season, they might look a little better.
But recently, they've been giving up points
So that's our nice
Charbonnees must start this should be an interesting game. Yeah, I mean, it's very important for NFL purposes
Standings playoff seeding all that. Yeah. All right. We'll take a break and we'll come back with our double header on Monday night
Hamburger, why are you calling? Rubble, rubble.
McDonald's has a new biggest burger called Big Arch, made with two 100% Canadian beef
patties, a new delicious sauce, and all the McDonald's flavors you love, and...
Wait, you want me to help you get it?
Rubble.
Come on.
Compared to beef burgers on McDonald's current menu at participating restaurants in Canada.
The Chicago Bears 4-9 taking on the 11-2 Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota 6.5 point home favorites. The over-under is 43.5.
Minnesota barely beat the Bears in Week 12 overtime, 30 to 27.
Was that the game where they were crushing the Bears?
I believe they were killing the Bears.
And then the Bears had some crazy,
like the last two or three minutes of the game
somehow got it back to overtime and then lost.
Touchdown, two point conversion,
onside kick, field goal, overtime.
Yeah.
Wasn't new, they never should have done any of that.
They lost anyways.
Right.
Minnesota, six and one at home.
They averaged 28 points a game at home.
Sam Darnold coming off a five touchdown performance
that was delightful.
Thank you, Sam.
You won me a bye week.
Jefferson, yep.
Addison on fire.
Jason, start of the week.
Hawkinson, my start of the week, Hawkinson my start of the week.
The signs and signals right here are play your Vikings
and play all the ones you've been playing.
And maybe even play Sam Darnold.
Sam Darnold's a fine play.
He has been a good quarterback for this whole stretch run.
So it's gonna be, you know, hopefully if you had
Brock Purdy or Sam Darnold, you chose, you know,
yesterday that you went with Brock,
or not with Brock Purdy, but with Sam Darnold.
I think Sam Darnold is, like, Andy,
you've got Justin Herbert as your start of the week.
It's a good matchup against Tampa Bay.
I would rather start Sam Darnold. Yeah, me too. Sam Darnold. Yeah me too
I and and Darnold's two out of the last three games in the top five
his touchdown pace over the last four is 46 and
When you have Addison playing at this level where you have two explosive players like Addison no matter what cannot get the coverage
That is going to Jefferson like Addison's
He's in the best position possible.
He's in the Juju Smith Schuster
when Antonio Brown was on the other side, benefit.
So it's awesome because he's an explosive player.
He can score from distance.
So yeah, start all your Vikings on the other side, pray.
Because I don't want, look, Deandre Swift
might miss this game. If he doesn't, he should
miss this game for your fantasy lineup.
He does have a line though, he's at 53 and a half.
I think he's going to play.
But that's not a player I want to play.
Oh I agree.
Because the Vikings are number one against the run and the likelihood of this game going
Would you pivot to someone like Ramandre Stevenson?
Oh yeah, yeah.
Okay, all right, if that's an easy pivot,
that shows, please try to bench Deandre Swift.
Those Packers wide outs he just mentioned
or any of these wide outs for the Bears.
Oh man.
Like DJ Moore had a 100 yard game against Minnesota.
His line's at five and a half receptions.
It makes sense, like the matchup is there,
but the fact that the Bears just continually go into halftime
with absolute nothingness.
With like a dozen yards?
Like that, I know they've been doing that
and then pulling it out in the second half.
But that is, that is some real sketchy stuff.
If you're like, I have to count on this team
for one half to give me everything that I need
because they can't seem to figure anything out
in the first half.
I do think DJ Moore is an okay start.
Since the transition was made at coordinator,
they've utilized him better.
The matchup is really nice.
His explosive ability means that you could end up
with a very big
game. So you talk about adding volatility in. DJ Moore, I mean it's not.
Yeah, that's fair.
He is someone that can be boom bust. He can go out there and score five points, but there's
not a handful, there's not a ton of people that can go out there and score 25 points.
You could see that from DJ Moore in a game like this.
Yeah, and the running game's gonna be potentially
just not a part of the equation.
And Caleb Williams has been surprisingly way better
in the second half of all games.
So if they got behind.
It makes no sense.
12 touchdowns in the second half, only four in the first.
The other Monday night game is Atlanta at six and seven,
who have been struggling.
And congrats, you get to play the Raiders. play the Raiders. Can't they flex Monday games out? You got to flex them ahead of time. Yeah but
I think we could see this one coming from a couple months ago. Yeah this is
this is not good Atlanta's a four-point favorite the overrunners 44 Mike you I
mean this is why you want two games. Yeah I guess. So you have the Falcons where Kyle pulled out a wild stack.
Her cousins has stayed within the pocket 99.4% of the time
on his dropbacks.
That is the highest in the league.
That is the second highest since 2018.
He cannot move.
You watch the games, he can't move.
You think about the plays that define Sam Darnold this year.
When you watch him.
It's, even Caleb Williams great plays, right?
It's escape ability.
You have to be able to move.
Move up, move through the rush.
The big play to Jefferson last week
was an example by Darnold.
Cousins used to be able to do that.
Right now he can't.
And he's thrown no touchdowns in four games.
Now that streak should end.
Yeah, he'll throw a touchdown in this game,
which is great.
Oh?
Probably.
Yeah, that was on purpose.
I think he'll throw a touchdown in this game,
but that's good news for Drake London.
His receiving line is at 66 and a half,
and we've talked about, he's been pretty decent
for fantasy. fantasy's not been
disappointing through this Kirk cousins terrible stretch but it hasn't been
great because there have been no touchdowns I think I think Drake gets a
touchdown this week and I like Darnell Mooney again just a separation that
he's getting is is been very friendly when it comes to Kirk cousinsousins. Both of those players right now,
very close in fantasy points per game.
Mooney's at 11.2 on the year, London's at 12.3.
So London's always the better bet
for a touchdown with that size.
So both of them are in play in this matchup.
Kyle Pitts, if you hate yourself.
Oh.
I don't think you can do it.
No, don't.
I mean, I will say this. Love yourself this weekend, people. Don't play Kyle Pitts. I you hate yourself. Oh. I don't think you can do it. No, don't. I mean, I will say this.
Love yourself this weekend, people.
Don't play Kyle Pitts.
I will say this.
Like if you did something wrong,
and you're afraid of coal in the stocking,
and you need to pay pennants,
maybe you start Kyle Pitts so that you can.
Let's say you had Cooper Cup, okay?
And you're starting.
You don't want to...
Yeah, okay.
Okay, and so right now you've got Kate Auten in there.
I mean, there's no situation you're going to paint.
There's no brush or paint set.
You cannot create me a world where I will play Kyle Pitts.
Would you rather play Stone Smart?
Yes.
Now, I want to remind you,
the Raiders are very, very bad against tight ends.
30 second in the last six weeks.
Kyle Pitts is very, very bad as a tight end.
Okay, alright.
I just, I had to try.
He's got one or zero catches in three or four games.
And in the last three weeks combined.
But he's 24 years old, Andy.
1.4 fantasy points, 0 and 1.9. You might as well start 23 yards in three weeks combined. But he's 24 years old, Andy. 1.4, fantasy point zero, and 1.9.
You might as well start.
23 yards in three weeks, total.
If I could sub Cooper Cup out right now as my flex
and instead get Kyle Pitts' score, I still wouldn't do it.
Yeah, just out of self-respect.
It's a man of principle.
Self-respect, yeah.
Brock Bowers or Kyle Pitts?
I'm gonna go Bowers.
Thank you for that start.
Our start set tools should be exclusive
to only big disparities.
Right?
We should only let, please choose someone else
if it's too close.
London, Mooney, Bijon, yes.
Log out there.
Sincero McCormick on the other side.
You're talking about a guy that's gonna get every chance to be the
only relevant one of the only relevant players on this Raiders offense Aiden
O'Connell will see if he's back out there but McCormick and Bowers are in I
think Jacoby Myers is probably fine. Jacoby Myers is great I mean the Falcons
right now on the season they're dead last against wide receivers
Jacoby Myers you know now it's Aiden O'Connell
looking to play, I would like to play Jacoby Myers.
I think he's a good play this week.
That changes though if Ridders are starting.
Yes, it does, yes.
Yeah, 10 or more targets for Jacoby Myers
in four of five weeks.
It's not gonna be sexy, you might not wanna watch the game,
but you'll probably be okay with the output there, and that'll do it for today's matchups I don't think we
have any more segments right um I believe we got one. The producer said we got one.
fantasy face-off presented by draft Kings
by DraftKangs.
This year has been... Dude, super tight.
It's been very, very close.
We are, what, that's 13 weeks?
Cause we didn't play in week one.
I have five firsts, four seconds, four thirds,
Jason's four, four, five, and Mike is four, five, four.
So we have really been quite even as we head into this week,
but it's my turn for the Wheel of Shame.
Wheel of Shame.
Jason's team went crazy last week, 192.98.
Did you enter that in the Millie Maker?
I didn't and I regretted it.
Yeah, I mean, I tell you, every week you got to do that.
Yeah.
All right, spin that stupid, stupid, stupid wheel.
All right, it is spinning, ladies and gentlemen.
We got Mall Cop.
I think it landed on a week off.
Silly wabbit.
Ice cream?
Oh, no.
Oh, we have landed on Pretty Princess.
Pretty Pretty princess.
Oh, it's like T. Swift is back on the show again.
Oh, so Andy's back.
She's back.
I should have just done Taylor Swift instead
of pretty pretty princess.
You butt brought a razor out?
Yes.
OK, we got the hair.
We got the tiara.
There we go. The wand.
And then there's one last thing.
Oh, we're gonna put it over the top.
Yeah, baby.
Oh, Andy was so happy.
I thought I got away.
What shade is that lipstick over there?
It's not a good shade, man.
It's Taylor Swift red, baby.
Put that lipstick.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yeah, good luck getting that off.
Been there before, brother.
Oh, what a pretty princess you are.
Yeah, okay.
Looks great.
I'm not happy right now.
I gotta go meet a contract trip after this.
Oh, that's right.
All right, I'm gonna start us off.
The pretty princess will start Kyler Murray at quarterback.
It was a late pivot this morning.
I'm going $6,000 to Kyler Murray.
Wild.
I am saving $100 off of that
and I'm going with Justin Herbert,
your start of the week at 5,900.
I got Kyler.
Oh, really?
Okay, yeah, by the way,
this tiara is digging into my brain.
So I tried that tiara on when we got it,
and it hurt my head so much.
Oh my gosh.
I bet I could break that thing.
Also, I'm looking at the screen.
I don't think I'm a pretty princess.
No, you look awful.
Hey, it's just believe.
Just believe.
Hey, guys.
Who do you got running back?
I've got Chase Brown at 7,200 against Tennessee.
I've got Rashad White at 5,800
for the Buccaneers against the Chargers.
I have Rashad White as well at 5,800.
I did not see a world where I couldn't put
in Derrick Henry in cash.
8,300, very expensive, but he should have
one to two million yards.
I got, yeah, I don't have the king.
I made it different. He's so expensive. I got, yeah, I don't have the king. I made a different line up.
He's so expensive.
I got Chase Brown.
Okay.
And then I got Rico Dowdle.
Yeah, yeah.
At 6,100.
Thought about it.
Against the Carolina Panthers.
I'd be sad if you didn't.
Like you, I'd be just so disappointed in you.
What stinks is the Rashad White price is cheaper
and he's probably gonna catch more passes than Doudel,
but again, show of integrity, I gotta put Doudel in.
My three wide outs this week,
Cortland Sutton at 6,600,
I went Brian Thomas Jr. for just 5,800,
for Jacksonville, it was between him
and I'm trying to remember the other name, oh, Calvin Ridley, I went with Thomas Jr. for Jacksonville it was between him and,
I'm trying to remember the other name,
oh Calvin Ridley, I went with Thomas Jr.
with the news that Ingram's out, just more targets,
and Adam Thielen for 5,400, Carolina against Dallas.
I am a pretty princess.
Last week I almost got to 200 going with my all J team,
so I'm going all A team this week.
I've got Adam Thielen, Amari Cooper,
and Amon Ross Saint Brown.
All right.
I've got Nico Collins at 8,100.
Matchup be darned.
Got Tyree Kill on the other side of that at 7,400.
And then beware my stack attack, ladies and gentlemen.
It's Kyler Murray paired with Michael Wilson.
I almost did that.
My tight end, I assumed that I was
going to get a couple guys on the other side of this desk
that were going to take the cheapie.
I went with Stone Smart.
I went with Stone Smart.
Stone Smart.
Yeah, 2,600. I figured that would be dumb I went with Stone Smart. Stone Smart. Yeah, 2600.
I figured that would be dumb of me not to do that and match you guys. My flex, I don't
know if you've heard of him, Jameer Gibbs. Jameer Gibbs is my flex for 7500 and I ended
up going with the Cardinals defense against New England at 3000. Well I have our wa- oh
did the waivers run? No. Oh my gosh. We're in Draft Games right now. you're doing a podcast. I know I want the waivers to run before the podcast is over
Let's see here my
Your flex and your DST Brian Robinson jr. In that matchup against the Saints at 6200 and my defense is the
Chargers which I don't I don't love that
Well, I'm high T here 12 personnel yet again again, boys, because Trey McBride.
I figured.
I'm told he's going to get a touchdown,
so that's a guaranteed two touchdowns to my lineup
with Kyler and Trey McBride.
And then I went with the Cleveland Browns
against the Kansas City Chiefs.
They're at home.
There could be some weather here.
And Mahomes is like, this season,
he's loved throwing interceptions.
All right. All right.
All right, I got him.
Just update.
I want the people to know.
Oh boy.
Wow.
I am putting in Sam Darnold.
He was on the waivers?
He was.
Sorry, Al.
I am putting in Sam Darnold,
the guy who I've besmirched so much,
I am riding with my golden ticket Darnold.
You're facing Justin Jefferson.
Yes.
Okay, which I thought you didn't want.
I don't want the wide receiver in that situation.
I think the reverse, he can still have an awesome
game with everyone else.
Al, your thoughts on the matter there?
I'd rather face Jameis.
