1
00:00:00,440 --> 00:00:03,040
Speaker 1: Woo. Waiver claims.

2
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:11,480
Speaker 2: Have to be made, and I've got trade proposals flying

3
00:00:11,640 --> 00:00:17,800
my way. My first round pig turn out to be

4
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:24,039
a big flop. I don't know which wide receiver I

5
00:00:24,239 --> 00:00:31,160
need to drive, Doctor Roto give me the news. I

6
00:00:31,239 --> 00:00:36,520
really don't know what I should do. My quarterback keeps

7
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:41,799
getting sacked. I've got a bad case of fair deceive.

8
00:00:41,520 --> 00:00:48,799
Speaker 1: Blues with It is the final and fastest thirty minutes

9
00:00:48,799 --> 00:00:51,719
of major market radio for the one the only Doctor

10
00:00:51,799 --> 00:00:54,640
Roto here on Sports Talks having any good doctor. Happy

11
00:00:54,679 --> 00:00:58,840
Holidays to you and the family. Most importantly, we might

12
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,479
have like nine listeners because it's Christmas Eve and people

13
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,200
are not shopping or actually spending quality family time. So

14
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:05,640
I'm going to take the first ten minutes of and

15
00:01:05,719 --> 00:01:07,640
just talking about my fantasy football team. Are you okay

16
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:07,879
with that?

17
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,439
Speaker 3: Yeah? Did you make the finals?

18
00:01:10,640 --> 00:01:13,920
Speaker 1: I did? All right? Wow? So here we go.

19
00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:16,840
Speaker 3: When was the last Houston Toro championship? Empty?

20
00:01:17,599 --> 00:01:21,760
Speaker 1: That was about three years ago? And your lives Oh

21
00:01:21,799 --> 00:01:23,799
when you made the championship? So he's never won it?

22
00:01:24,719 --> 00:01:25,120
Shut up.

23
00:01:25,359 --> 00:01:26,760
Speaker 3: We're definitely got to get you to victory.

24
00:01:28,799 --> 00:01:31,799
Speaker 1: Had a fifty point game in the week seventeen or sixteen,

25
00:01:31,840 --> 00:01:34,159
whatever it was, and I lost that game because Jamar

26
00:01:34,239 --> 00:01:37,959
Chase went ballistic. All right, here we go, Drake May.

27
00:01:38,040 --> 00:01:42,239
No issue? Correct, yes, no issue whatsoever? And actually here

28
00:01:42,319 --> 00:01:44,319
Gibbs one second.

29
00:01:44,359 --> 00:01:46,799
Speaker 4: Going to be a really good game for May because

30
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:51,920
a lot of those Patriot receivers Diggs, Collins, Henry all

31
00:01:51,959 --> 00:01:56,280
have huge incentives. So if these guys catch passes, they're

32
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,400
getting paid. They are throwing empty.

33
00:01:59,719 --> 00:02:05,719
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes, Jamiir Gibbs, no issues, correct, no issues, Devon

34
00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:06,400
a Chen.

35
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:09,080
Speaker 3: Please, no issues.

36
00:02:09,159 --> 00:02:11,360
Speaker 4: I mean it's a little slight issues because the bucks

37
00:02:11,400 --> 00:02:13,759
are are decent and viewers didn't throw to him a ton.

38
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 3: But we're starting him. We love him, We're playing.

39
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:18,680
Speaker 1: Him, all right, Keenan Allen, I'm not going to play

40
00:02:18,759 --> 00:02:20,960
did not practice yesterday. But he is nothing more than

41
00:02:20,960 --> 00:02:22,960
about the fifth target for Herbert, so I'm not worried

42
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:23,319
about that.

43
00:02:23,479 --> 00:02:26,439
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, we're getting locked in that lineup.

44
00:02:26,840 --> 00:02:35,719
Speaker 1: I'm going t Higgins, I'm going Zay Flowers, Okay, with

45
00:02:36,599 --> 00:02:40,319
more guys, of course, there's more Dallas s Gooddard might

46
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,240
tie end over Kelsey yes or no?

47
00:02:43,479 --> 00:02:45,039
Speaker 3: Yes, yes for sure.

48
00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 1: R J. Harvey is my flex Yes or no.

49
00:02:49,960 --> 00:02:52,560
Speaker 4: Oh, yeah, for sure. They the Broncos need this game

50
00:02:52,599 --> 00:02:54,080
and want this game. Harvey's look great.

51
00:02:54,759 --> 00:02:56,759
Speaker 1: All right, my two defense I can choose.

52
00:02:56,879 --> 00:02:58,800
Speaker 4: Wait wait, hold on, do you have another receiver option

53
00:02:58,879 --> 00:03:00,560
besides Za Flowers?

54
00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:04,080
Speaker 1: I have Keenan Allen and Jerry Judy.

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,360
Speaker 4: I guess we're going Zay Flowers. But just know there's

56
00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,520
a chance. Lamar is like fifty to fifty right now.

57
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:13,680
Speaker 3: But I think he plays. But you know we got

58
00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:14,120
to play.

59
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: Za Okay Judy, I can't. I don't trust him. Yeah,

60
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:23,319
all right, now here comes the dicey part a little bit. No.

61
00:03:23,439 --> 00:03:26,960
The only thing I'm really worried about Chargers defense against

62
00:03:27,039 --> 00:03:33,520
amid Houston Texans offense, or I can go Packers at

63
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,599
home against Baltimore on defense? What do you think?

64
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,960
Speaker 4: I think I like the Chargers because I can't imagine

65
00:03:39,960 --> 00:03:42,360
that the Texans aren't going to let up like three sacks.

66
00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:45,000
So if you get three sacks, maybe you get a fumble,

67
00:03:45,639 --> 00:03:48,120
maybe get a pick. It's not going to be generational.

68
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:49,639
Can you make any ads or drops?

69
00:03:50,560 --> 00:03:52,319
Speaker 1: I could, of course. Is there a defense out there

70
00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:53,080
I should go grab?

71
00:03:54,919 --> 00:03:56,840
Speaker 4: I mean, I don't know who's out there in your league,

72
00:03:56,840 --> 00:03:59,000
But I mean the Saints play the Titans.

73
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:00,319
Speaker 3: That's that's an interesting one.

74
00:04:00,599 --> 00:04:02,479
Speaker 1: Saints and Giants are both available.

75
00:04:04,199 --> 00:04:07,000
Speaker 4: The Giants are interesting. The Giants against the Raiders. Raiders

76
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,879
offensive line is bad, really bad. I'm okay with the Giants.

77
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,759
What I would do is I would drop the Packers,

78
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:15,759
pick up the Giants, and then stew on the Chargers

79
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:19,160
Giants Giants Charger game, I mean Giants Raider game. Loser

80
00:04:19,199 --> 00:04:20,639
gets the number one pick in the draft.

81
00:04:22,519 --> 00:04:24,879
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't. I just did it, Giants, I just

82
00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:26,759
did it. I just picked up the New York Giants defense.

83
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:32,199
All right, I'm going to probably okay, shut up, this

84
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:36,120
is this is important stuff here. I'm giving information out there.

85
00:04:36,199 --> 00:04:40,720
You'all be quiet. I'm going to text you about Chargers

86
00:04:40,920 --> 00:04:44,040
or Giants, and we're gonna have this conversation Sunday morning.

87
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,480
Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, you got it there, Well, run the algorithm.

88
00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:53,720
Speaker 1: Last thing Saturday. Last thing I got ric O'Donnell and

89
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:58,000
Travis Kelcey both on my bench. That's correct, right, compared

90
00:04:58,000 --> 00:05:00,000
to what I have. Also, what else is out there?

91
00:05:00,079 --> 00:05:01,920
Speaker 3: Kelsey can't play? Kelsey can't play?

92
00:05:02,759 --> 00:05:04,879
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean got a guy who's uh, basically a

93
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:07,800
third stringer in there. I'm literally playing that guy because

94
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:09,680
in one of my leagues, I'm down to Josh Johnson

95
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:12,959
or Ola Kadoon. I mean, this is brutal, but yeah,

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,319
we can't play Chelsea, we can't play Kelsey.

97
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: And Ricodond mixed as you talked about last week.

98
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:22,560
Speaker 3: Yeah, not over Harvey, not over Ehen, not over Gibs.

99
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:24,800
So okay, look at you.

100
00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:28,120
Speaker 4: You got a real shot MT.

101
00:05:28,439 --> 00:05:30,680
Speaker 1: Do you know how insufferable I'll be if I win this?

102
00:05:30,759 --> 00:05:38,079
By the way, this is why he can't win. What

103
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,120
we love. That's why we love Doctor Rodols the best squad.

104
00:05:41,199 --> 00:05:43,800
He should win, Yeah, but couldn't.

105
00:05:43,800 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 3: Should have giving you props.

106
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:47,759
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think he's doing is he's trying to. He's

107
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:50,519
I think you should win. You have the best squad.

108
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,839
All right, Uh, let's get to uh what's turned out

109
00:05:54,839 --> 00:05:57,480
to be a pretty lousy slate of Christmas Day games.

110
00:05:59,279 --> 00:06:02,519
I'm going against Zak Prescott. How will Dallas do against

111
00:06:02,560 --> 00:06:04,040
the Commanders on Thursday?

112
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,720
Speaker 4: Pretty darn good. I mean, Dak to Lamb feels like

113
00:06:07,759 --> 00:06:10,639
it's going to be a winner. I don't Thinkdak gets

114
00:06:10,639 --> 00:06:13,240
about two hundred and fifty yards, probably gets about two touchdowns.

115
00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:15,000
Speaker 3: You know you can run onto the Commanders.

116
00:06:15,519 --> 00:06:18,879
Speaker 4: The big problem here is this, we need you need

117
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,079
Josh Johnson not to suck because if they just get

118
00:06:23,120 --> 00:06:24,920
blown out and now all of a sudden, Dak is

119
00:06:24,959 --> 00:06:27,639
putting up, you know, it's thirty five points, that could

120
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:30,120
get ugly. So we just need Washington to be able

121
00:06:30,120 --> 00:06:34,000
to sustain some drives. But I like Dak, I like Lamb.

122
00:06:34,519 --> 00:06:36,720
I think I like Jake Ferguson. I think he goes

123
00:06:36,759 --> 00:06:39,319
this is not a Pickens week. Last week was the Pickens,

124
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:43,560
you know, rehabilitation week. I like McLaurin and Deebo. Samuel

125
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:45,800
has incentives in his contract too. I think they're gonna

126
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,759
try to get him the football.

127
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: All right. Detroit is this prolific offense, yet they still

128
00:06:50,399 --> 00:06:54,319
lose games. They've got a slimmer a slim I should say,

129
00:06:54,319 --> 00:06:56,560
a slim chance of making the playoffs. How will they

130
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,879
do against Minnesota in Minneapolis, Well, they're gonna rush then.

131
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 4: I mean, Max Brosner is not a real NFL quarterback.

132
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:05,399
That's a mess. Justin Jefferson has incentives. They want him

133
00:07:05,399 --> 00:07:07,279
to do well, but it's gonna be really hard. Gibbs

134
00:07:07,399 --> 00:07:12,040
is a great, great play. I mean, Saint Brown is fine.

135
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:13,720
Speaker 3: I would keep it tight in this game.

136
00:07:13,759 --> 00:07:16,519
Speaker 4: I keep it Golf, I keep it Saint Brown, Jamison,

137
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,160
Williams and Gibbs just like that. On the other side,

138
00:07:19,199 --> 00:07:22,040
I'd make it justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones. Aaron Jones,

139
00:07:22,040 --> 00:07:24,160
I think Vegas has him about seventy three and a

140
00:07:24,199 --> 00:07:26,959
half yards because Jordan Mason's not even going to be there.

141
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:28,759
So I think those are the only two vikings you

142
00:07:29,040 --> 00:07:30,040
play with any confidence.

143
00:07:30,399 --> 00:07:32,480
Speaker 1: All right, if you are playing a championship weekend or

144
00:07:32,480 --> 00:07:35,759
consolation round seven to one three two one two five seven,

145
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:39,000
ninety seven to one three two one two five seven

146
00:07:39,120 --> 00:07:43,399
ninety last, probably the best of the weekend games will

147
00:07:43,439 --> 00:07:46,680
be Houston at the Los Angeles Chargers. That Sunday night

148
00:07:46,720 --> 00:07:48,639
games when Chicago San Francis is gonna be awesome too.

149
00:07:48,639 --> 00:07:51,480
But let's get to the Texans. How the look the

150
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:55,519
Chargers were scoring at ease against Dallas's defense, that they're

151
00:07:55,560 --> 00:08:00,600
atrocious Texans defense. Much better? Who's sitting who he was playing?

152
00:08:00,639 --> 00:08:03,399
Between the Chargers and Texans Saturday night and here in LA.

153
00:08:04,079 --> 00:08:06,000
Speaker 3: It should be a really great game. They really should

154
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:06,519
be a great game.

155
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:10,079
Speaker 4: I think the difference, though, is that Dallas really didn't

156
00:08:10,120 --> 00:08:14,120
pressure Herbert. He was able to run at will, he

157
00:08:14,199 --> 00:08:16,560
was throwing the ball deep. He won't be able to

158
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:19,000
do any of those things against the Texans, right, and

159
00:08:19,040 --> 00:08:21,279
the Texans just need one win, one win to get

160
00:08:21,279 --> 00:08:24,279
the job done. So I think Herbert's gonna struggle. I

161
00:08:24,279 --> 00:08:26,279
gotta be honest with you. I think Herbert's gonna struggle.

162
00:08:26,319 --> 00:08:29,000
I think there's a defensive game. I agree with you.

163
00:08:29,040 --> 00:08:31,600
I don't want Keenan Allen. I mean, Hampton's not a

164
00:08:31,639 --> 00:08:34,639
great start, Herbert's not a great start. Lad's not a

165
00:08:34,639 --> 00:08:37,519
great start. These are all guys who should probably get

166
00:08:37,559 --> 00:08:40,759
you the lower range of their fantasy points. So maybe

167
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:44,799
Lad McConkie's getting you ten, maybe Hampton's getting eight to twelve.

168
00:08:45,159 --> 00:08:47,480
I don't think you're winning with any Chargers. On the

169
00:08:47,519 --> 00:08:49,720
other side, I don't know if you're winning with any

170
00:08:49,799 --> 00:08:52,519
Texans either. I mean, Estroud gonna throw up twenty points

171
00:08:52,519 --> 00:08:55,440
against the Chargers defense, I don't think so. Maybe Woody

172
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,799
Marks is interesting if he plays. Nico Collins is the

173
00:08:58,799 --> 00:09:01,559
one guy I probably would play with any sort of confidence.

174
00:09:01,799 --> 00:09:04,080
I think this is a game you don't want to

175
00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:06,720
have many of your players in because it's just not

176
00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,399
going to end well. These teams are too good defensively,

177
00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:11,399
and I think you see a game in the very

178
00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,120
low twenties.

179
00:09:12,840 --> 00:09:17,399
Speaker 1: And lastly, the Niners looked awesome at Indianapolis, scoring at

180
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:20,320
ease O. Will they do it against Chicago Sunday night?

181
00:09:21,240 --> 00:09:21,720
Speaker 3: They will.

182
00:09:21,799 --> 00:09:24,159
Speaker 4: So the Bears have a lot of flaws, and to

183
00:09:24,159 --> 00:09:26,320
be honest with you, the Bears have been very lucky

184
00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:26,679
this year.

185
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:27,399
Speaker 3: And I don't want to say.

186
00:09:27,440 --> 00:09:30,960
Speaker 4: Look, sometimes it's being good and sometimes it's lucky. There

187
00:09:31,000 --> 00:09:32,399
have been games that the Bears have won that they

188
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:35,159
shouldn't have won. I mean, even that Packer game. Crazy

189
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:37,519
things have happened. Not going to happen this week against

190
00:09:37,559 --> 00:09:40,039
San Francisco. First of all, San Francisco is going to

191
00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:41,679
throw the ball deep, and that's where the Bears can

192
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,440
be beaten. Whether it's Ricky piersolij Won Jennings, DeMarcus Robinson,

193
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:49,840
Brock Purty looked great. Christian McCaffrey is a great start.

194
00:09:49,879 --> 00:09:53,039
The Bears have been okay against the run, but McCaffrey

195
00:09:53,080 --> 00:09:55,639
still should get about twenty fantasy points. This game is

196
00:09:55,639 --> 00:09:58,840
really about George Kittle. You know, George how healthy is he.

197
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:01,799
Hopefully he's out there. If not, Jake Tungus is definitely

198
00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:03,720
somebody if we remember him earlier in the season.

199
00:10:04,039 --> 00:10:05,080
Speaker 3: He's been really good.

200
00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:08,360
Speaker 4: On the other side of the football, Swift is in play,

201
00:10:08,639 --> 00:10:12,080
Monan guy's in play. Caleb Williams did a really good

202
00:10:12,159 --> 00:10:13,960
job at the end of that game, but for the

203
00:10:13,960 --> 00:10:18,039
first three quarters he was super super mid right. I

204
00:10:18,039 --> 00:10:20,080
mean he didn't have a touchdown pass it's like one

205
00:10:20,159 --> 00:10:23,080
hundred and forty yards, but he's very mobile, right. Caleb

206
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:26,919
Williams keeps plays alive with his legs, so he may

207
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:29,600
have one touchdown. But if a Doomsay's out and Burden's out,

208
00:10:29,840 --> 00:10:31,120
I think this is a mess of a game for

209
00:10:31,159 --> 00:10:33,080
the Bears. I really like the San Francisco
