Speaker 1: Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got
trade proposals for ly in my way. My first round
pig turned out to be a big flop. I don't
know which wide receiver I need to drive.
Speaker 2: Doctor Roto give me the news. I really don't know
what I should do. My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've
got a.
Speaker 1: Bad case of fair deceive blues.
Speaker 3: With is the fastest thirty minutes in major market radio.
We say hello to our good friend, doctor Roto. It's
a finale the regular season for some some of it's
playoff week number one, Doctor Roto, let's get right to it.
I love when I go against somebody and they get
a minus three on defense. That's what the Buccaneers gave
our friend Chris Gordy Here at the radio stations. I'm
already up to a zero to minus three lead in
my weekly fantasy football.
Speaker 4: It's an offensive explosion. They're empty. But for some people,
if they played against Kyle Pitts, Kyle PIDs did this
week what he's done all season, basically, and it's so tempting.
You look at the guy like he's sixty six. He
runs great. Look, he was fantastic last night, Cousins played
the game of his life. Mike Evans looks sensational in
his first game back. Chris Godwin did a great job.
I mean a Buca suffered a little bit. Bucky Irving
lost that touchdown. I think a lot of people were
shocked at that, but they really like Sean Tucker by
the goal line. I think the bigger problem was the
Tampa should have won that game. If Baker throws a
better pass to a Buka there on third down, maybe
Buka scores and this game is over.
Speaker 3: This week, Rhodo, we got weather major issues, especially in
the Midwest and in the East. I think Cleveland and
Chicago might be twelve degrees a kicktime. Tell me how
that's going to affect the folks except just having a
bundle up here.
Speaker 4: All right, Cole doesn't bother me, Rain doesn't bother me.
Wind bothers me. Right, the more wind, that's the big problem.
So I mean, look, we saw Buffalo last week. Buffalo
and Cincinnati put up a million points together in the snow.
So I think people tend to overrate weather. It's the wind.
When you see thirty miles per hour wind, that means
they can't throw the ball deep downfield. Shador Sanders is
actually played decent football. I mean it's you sit there
and you say yourself, why do they go with Dylan
Gabriel when Sanders is obviously more pro ready than Gabriel is.
If assuming, for example, Cleveland, if the weather's not that bad,
Sanders is in play, Jerry Judy's in play, Harold Fannon
Junior's in play, DeAndre Swift's in play on the You know,
so what I'm trying to tell everybody out there is,
don't owe rate the weather. Just look at the wind.
If it's raining, it's not a problem. Cold is not
a problem. They have heaters on the sideline. They'll figure
it out.
Speaker 3: We all watched Texans Chiefs last week Kansas City. A
couple of row, bone head and fourth down call actually
one bone headed call, but a lot of drop passes.
Kelsey looked like disoriented. Worthy wasn't a huge factor. There
were some drops Rashid Rice. How nervous are we about
using Kansasity players knowing that we don't know what emotion
they got left in the tank between now and they
rest the season.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, it's a really great question. I think the
problem here is that the Chargers don't match up very
well with the Chiefs. And here's why. First of all,
Herbert is not one hundred percent we see that. Secondly,
they play a lot of The Chiefs play a lot
of zone defense, and I think where the Chargers receivers
excel is against man Lat McConkey. You can't stop him
man to man. He's terrific. Same thing with Quentin Johnson's
got a lot of speed. But because the Chiefs run
that zone out there, it's going to be a little
harder for them to find holes. On the other side,
the Chargers play all zone coverage, which Hello or she
Rice may be one of the top three guys in
the league against that. So the Chiefs backs are against
the wall. It feels like a rebound spot for them.
So long as their defense plays well, they should be
able to do it. On the other side. Once again,
keep an eye on Marion Hampton. He looks fantastic in
his first game back.
Speaker 3: All Right, Philadelphia, and talk about a tale of two seasons.
They're in a free fall, but they've got Las Vegas
coming in. Tell me that if if I've got Philadelphia players,
I'm gonna get really fat and happy against that Raider
defense MT.
Speaker 4: If you didn't use the words fat and happy, I
was going to use the word I figured.
Speaker 3: I figured you still in my bit, I get it.
Speaker 4: Yeah, gotta steal from the best, right. So what happens
here is nobody wants to play Jalen Hurts after what
we saw last week. That's exactly why you play Jalen Hurts.
Nobody wants to play Sakon Barkley. That's exactly why Barkley
is going to run one hundred and forty yards and
two touchdowns this week. You want as many Eagles as
you possibly can. The Raiders look like they've given up.
This a bad, bad spot. I could see a forty
spot here. I know Vegas has it at twenty five.
I think they're off by ten. I don't. I just
don't even see a pathway for the Raiders to be
successful this week. This is one of those games where
the Eagles need to figure out their offense right now.
Start running the ball better, get Hurts throwing the ball
a little bit, get DeVonta Smith involved, and beat the
crap out of the out of Las Vegas.
Speaker 3: Super Sexy three to twenty five game has Detroit at
the La Rams for his potent as an Lions offense
has been this year. They're on the outside looking in.
They need this game desperately, right.
Speaker 4: The problem is, I think they're playing a better team.
The Rams are a really good team. So here's you
know what I've been trying to tell everybody for weeks.
It's always look at the matchups. Okay, so what's the
matchup problem here? The Lions playing man coverage. You can't
cover Pooka. You can't cover Devonte Adams, not with that
Lion secondary. Without Brian Branch he's the best, He's the
best guy in the back there. He's out with the
torn achilles. So the aw way. The only way Detroit
stops the Rams is if Aiden Hutchinson can get some
pressure on him. But if Matthew Stafford can find time,
he's going to pick apart that team all game long. Now.
The other thing is Detroit stops the run pretty well.
So this may not be a Kien Williams week, But
Blake Koram has looked like he's been shot out of
a cannon, so he's in play. DeVante Adams remember the
touchdowns that he didn't score last week, don't worry he
gets one this week. Pucas sensational. On the other side,
I love Saint Brown. This could be one of those
Saint Brown ten catches for one hundred and twenty yards
weeks that we haven't seen in a while. And of
course Jamier Gibbs, you want to get him in. I
don't love Jamison Williams this week, but I like the
other two guys. But this is a game fifty five
points fields. Feels of Light.
Speaker 3: Brought this up with you last week about teams that
are not going to be in the playoffs and can
we find some sneaky pickups or using of players. We
saw Tennessee win a Cleveland last week. Will they have
any sort of similar success, at least from a fantasy perspective.
Speaker 4: In San Francisco, when Cam war doesn't get pressured, he's
actually a decent quarterback, so to Mary DK, their young
rookie wide receiver, he might actually be decent. That's probably
the guy that I'm Gunner Helm. He's a tight end
who played at the University of Texas, so a lot
of these guys down there might know him. He's pretty
good against zone coverage, which what San Francisco likes to
roll out. Maybe they're usable. Dkay is interesting because if
your league gives credit for return yards, not only is
he their second receiver, he's also their punt and kickoff returner.
So if he gets a kickoff return, you might get
double the points. That's interesting to me. But really the
talk of this game is the other side of the football.
You know, San Francisco had their bye week. They're coming
back rested, They're coming back ready to go. Brock Perty's
going to throw at least two touchdowns this week. George
Kittle gets the matchup of the century against Kevin Winston,
who might be the worst cover safety in all the league.
He got McCaffrey, he got Juwan Jennings. Load up on
your forty nine ers.
Speaker 3: All right, let's get to the Sunday game. We have
used the term trap a couple of times. Also, Jacoby
Prissett's probably best performances ever as an NFL quarterback, as
limited as it is, this is against the Houston Texans. Now,
I don't think history can repeat itself with different football teams,
but size up for me Arizona versus Houston, with the
notion that if it does get ugly, would the Texans
offensive players not be of great choice. Also, on top
of that, the fact that the Texans don't score a
whole lot of points and typically stay within one score
of most of their opponents.
Speaker 4: Everything you said is true except Stroud is better, as
we all know when he doesn't get pressured. Arizona doesn't
get pressure on the quarterback. It's their weakness and their
number one draft pick, Walter Nolan has been out for
most of the year. So if you give CJ. Stroud
time a pick, you apart and Arizona plays a lot
of Cover four, which is right up Nico Collins's ali.
I mean, this doesn't get better for Stroud to Nico
feeds families this week? Right, You're probably looking at two
hundred and forty two hundred and sixty yards from Stroud.
Maybe one ten to one forty goes to Nico. Definitely
one touchdown, maybe more. Right. So, now the question is
will the Cardinals play enough to keep the Texans starters
on the field. If they do, we love Nico, we
love Woody, Marx Schultz is fine, not special to me.
Jayden Higgins is fine. I'm really sticking with Stroud, Collins
and Marx on the other side, Marvin Harrison Junior's out
once again. Michael Wilson is going to be out there. Now.
I know the Texans have played amazing defense, but you
know what happens in the NFL MT letdown weeks. This
feels like a letdown week. So I'm not saying the
Texans are losing. I'm not saying that at all. I'm
saying maybe they didn't do that same preparation for this
week's game, and maybe the Cardinals hang out in there.
Maybe Michael Wilson gets eighty yards, maybe Brissett has another
two hundred and fifty, Maybe Trey McBride gets eighty yards.
Maybe the game is close to them, we think, so,
those Texans actually have a boom Fantasy Day
