Speaker 1: York and New England, but we'll also get into our
Speaker 1: Thursday night football preview tonight. Bill's and Texans seems like
Speaker 1: a snoozer. Sometimes those snoozers end up being the best games,
Speaker 1: so we'll get into that in the second segment. And
Speaker 1: then a bunch of starter sick questions. Feel free to
Speaker 1: fire them away in YouTube, twitch, x whatever you're watching
Speaker 1: this show on tonight and we'll answer them. We do
Speaker 1: have some regarding Kareem Hunt, Jacobe Myers, Juwan Johnson, and
Speaker 1: Baker Mayfield. So that is all going on on the
Speaker 1: show tonight, now, Stacy, I was going to try to
Speaker 1: get this right at the top of the show. I
Speaker 1: knew I wasn't going to, So I'm going to ask
Speaker 1: you again as far as when you are live on
Speaker 1: the interwebs on internet streams, what are you doing them
Speaker 1: for and when can people watch you?
Speaker 2: So I am live on Sunday mornings at eleven with
Speaker 2: Dynasty Dgens. We stream over on player Profiler Plus and
Speaker 2: we do like a start shit show. It's a Sunday
Speaker 2: tailgate and I have a different, different guest on and we,
Speaker 2: you know, just do all the start sets, last minute
Speaker 2: Fantasy's stuff, all the breaking news that's going on. And
Speaker 2: then on Monday nights on Fantasy and Frames, I do
Speaker 2: the Waiver wire watch party. I have to say it
Speaker 2: very slowly or I'm going to mess that up. During
Speaker 2: Monday night football, we kick off at eight, kind of
Speaker 2: hang out, watch the game, talk waivers, just you know,
Speaker 2: have a lot of fun talk about the Sunday action
Speaker 2: from the day before, and you know, just kind of
Speaker 2: catch up on what's going on in football.
Speaker 1: So the two times you're live, what time does the
Speaker 1: show start the Sunday morning tilate? What time does that start?
Speaker 2: Sunday mornings eleven am Eastern eleven am?
Speaker 1: And you go right up until one o'clock.
Speaker 2: No, we stop at noon. That way, you know, everybody's
Speaker 2: got time to go, you know, make those last minute
Speaker 2: changes and everything.
Speaker 1: And yeah, and then eight pm Eastern time on Mondays. Yes, okay, perfect,
Speaker 1: And then once a year seven o'clock pm Thursdays in
Speaker 1: ce Access show. Yes. So let's get into it tonight.
Speaker 1: So the one of the things I always love to
Speaker 1: do is start off the show with something we haven't
Speaker 1: talked about at all, or that that's not listed on
Speaker 1: the rundown at all. And I want to lead things
Speaker 1: off here tonight with do I have any No, I'll
Speaker 1: tell you what. Let's let's just let's just go back
Speaker 1: to what I got here to lead things off. Let's
Speaker 1: talk about the Giants backfield, because they went against our
Speaker 1: Green Bay Packers this past week, and quite frankly, Tyrone
Speaker 1: Tracy and Devin Singletary both put up startable numbers against
Speaker 1: the Packers Sunday afternoon. Nineteen carries for eighty eight yards,
Speaker 1: four catches for fifty one yards for Tyrone Tracy. He
Speaker 1: did not get into the end zone, but it seemed
Speaker 1: like if there was one back that they were favoring,
Speaker 1: it seemed to be Tracy. Now I have my thoughts
Speaker 1: and i'll get your thoughts on the Packers rush defense.
Speaker 1: I think it's a little bit overrated. I think that
Speaker 1: they really it was really evident that they're struggling to
Speaker 1: get off the field. It seemed like every third and
Speaker 1: fourth down the Giants were converting and as a result,
Speaker 1: the Giants were able to execute their game plan, shortening
Speaker 1: the game up and giving them a chance to win
Speaker 1: until they inevitably got Jamis at the end of the game.
Speaker 1: But I want to bring up Tyrone Tracy here because
Speaker 1: this week the Giants go to Detroit. Right, here's the
Speaker 1: guy I like better than Devin Singletary in this backfield.
Speaker 1: But I feel like even flexing him out, I think
Speaker 1: you're playing with a little fire here against the Lions.
Speaker 1: How do you see Tracy right now and sort of
Speaker 1: the state of this Giants backfield as they head into MotorCity.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I think definitely Tracy is the guy
Speaker 2: there right now. Devin Singletary, you know, I guess they're
Speaker 2: gonna they're gonna have to use a little bit since
Speaker 2: Scatabo's out, Otherwise he would be kind of completely irrelevant.
Speaker 2: But I don't like. I don't like either one of
Speaker 2: them this week, not against the Lions. Lions are giving
Speaker 2: up the fewest rushing yards for or not rushing yards sorry,
Speaker 2: fewest rushing fantasy points in the league so far this season,
Speaker 2: and they're at home. I just feel like that's and
Speaker 2: they're coming off a couple of really bad games for
Speaker 2: the Lions. I just feel like they are really going
Speaker 2: to get up for this game and just kind of
Speaker 2: make a statement show that they are back. I'm not.
Speaker 2: I don't think it's going to be a good outcome
Speaker 2: for the Giants this week. And also, you know, I
Speaker 2: was kind of thinking about this, Bulky. Do you think
Speaker 2: that maybe they put up the Giants put up a
Speaker 2: little bit better numbers against our Packers because you know,
Speaker 2: that's that first game after their coach gets fired. You
Speaker 2: know there's something maybe to that a little bit, or
Speaker 2: maybe normally they wouldn't have had that much success against
Speaker 2: you know, And look, I totally I'm with you on
Speaker 2: the rush defense with the Packers right now, but I
Speaker 2: mean they are still really good. So I'm just kind
Speaker 2: of wondering if that maybe played into a little bit
Speaker 2: of why they were a little bit more productive than
Speaker 2: they probably should have been.
Speaker 1: I brought that up heading into the game. I've often
Speaker 1: heard this is more more so true and like maybe
Speaker 1: basketball and hockey than in football. Maybe it's true in
Speaker 1: football as well, But I always heard you're supposed to
Speaker 1: bet on the team after they lose a significant component,
Speaker 1: like a head coach, like a star player. You bet
Speaker 1: on them to either cover or win that first game,
Speaker 1: but then after that you start bending against them because
Speaker 1: it is a little bit of a change. And that
Speaker 1: did worry me because because I do think Mike Koff
Speaker 1: is a pretty talented guy. I think that you know
Speaker 1: the time that he I mean, wouldn't you have like
Speaker 1: a half decade with Andy Reid in Kansas City everything?
Speaker 1: Think about how much he just soaked up there, And
Speaker 1: so it did make me nervous. And then when Winston
Speaker 1: is throwing these these interception balls and Green Bay is
Speaker 1: just dropping every single one, I'm like, this is gonna
Speaker 1: come down to the wire. I didn't even know if
Speaker 1: they're gonna win. They end up squeezing it out. So
Speaker 1: I do I agree with you. I think there is
Speaker 1: something there and we'll see if the Packers defense can
Speaker 1: clean it up this week when they faced Aaron Jones
Speaker 1: and Jordan Mason. More to come on that as well
Speaker 1: later on in the show. Now, let's go out to
Speaker 1: Sam Francisco and I want to talk Juwan Jennings here.
Speaker 1: Four catches on six targets this past week in their
Speaker 1: win over the Cardinals. The six targets were good enough
Speaker 1: for the team lead, and with George Kittle and Christian
Speaker 1: McCaffrey obviously, And on the day that Ricky Pearsall comes back,
Speaker 1: Juwan Jennings is still the number one wide out. On
Speaker 1: the day, first pass of the game, he catches for
Speaker 1: twenty five yards. And I can't remember who was bringing
Speaker 1: this up. It might have been Scott Barrett or Grand
Speaker 1: Barfield or if i'm I never remember, and I apologize
Speaker 1: for that. So I'm giving improper credit, or maybe I'm
Speaker 1: getting giving proper credit. I don't know. But they said
Speaker 1: that Ricky Pearsall saw zero first read targets in that
Speaker 1: game against Arizona, and you think about, you know, how
Speaker 1: up and down that game was as far as the
Speaker 1: offense is, and Brissette throwing the ball all over the field,
Speaker 1: that does surprise me. Now, I don't know if they're
Speaker 1: easing him back in, but I don't think the switch
Speaker 1: is flipped or the flip is switched this coming weekend
Speaker 1: as the Niners get ready to take on the Panthers
Speaker 1: on Monday Night Football. I think Jennings is another sneaky
Speaker 1: flex play for people who are missing guys like you know,
Speaker 1: Courtland Sutton, Jalen Waddle, some of these receivers that are
Speaker 1: on by this week. I happen to like Jennings this week, Stacy,
Speaker 1: what do you think? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I like Jennings too, although I think this tends to
Speaker 2: be more of a run heavy game here. I think
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a CMC game. I think there's
Speaker 2: a little bit of that, you know, kind of going
Speaker 2: back to Carolina a little bit, or not going back there,
Speaker 2: coming out to San Francisco, but a little bit of
Speaker 2: revenge game there. I think he's gonna want to show
Speaker 2: up for his old team. And so I like Jennings.
Speaker 2: I've got him into FLEX in numerous places, you know,
Speaker 2: and it's great now that party's back. They have that
Speaker 2: good connection. But I think that's gonna be a little
Speaker 2: more run heavy, So I probably downgrade him just a smidge,
Speaker 2: but I do like him this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And as far as, like you know, for FFPC,
Speaker 1: we're talking like secondary, like a second FL I think
Speaker 1: he's perfect for that for sure. Okay, moving forward here,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about you know, it was one
Speaker 1: week ago that we were getting ready for this Patriots
Speaker 1: Jets game, and it's difficult to get up for a
Speaker 1: Patriots Jets game in twenty twenty five, very difficult to
Speaker 1: get excited for something like that. However, we got some
Speaker 1: fireworks early with a Trevian Henderson touchdown, and then just
Speaker 1: before we went off the air with Casey Caseon from Rotaballer,
Speaker 1: we got a second tvon Henderson touchdown, which I thought, Hey,
Speaker 1: this is great. This is Henderson Knight and my son,
Speaker 1: who is twelve years old, they have to think about this. No,
Speaker 1: he's not twelve, Yeah, he is twelve. God, he's twelve already.
Speaker 1: He and I share a fantasy team with one of
Speaker 1: his body or with you know, his buddies or whatever,
Speaker 1: and he has Henderson on that team, and we started
Speaker 1: him that night, and I was super excited to tell
Speaker 1: him that Henderson scored two touchdowns. After he got off
Speaker 1: the air, my wife was bringing up home from basketball practice,
Speaker 1: and before I could even say anything, he walks in
Speaker 1: the holding up his phone and he says, Dad, Trevion
Speaker 1: Henderson just scored his third touchdown. And I'm like, what,
Speaker 1: We've been waiting for this all year? Like we've been
Speaker 1: waiting and waiting and waiting for Trevian Henderson to get
Speaker 1: his just due, for him to do everything he's supposed
Speaker 1: to do. No block no rock. He's blocking now and
Speaker 1: he's getting the rock. Obviously, the Ramandre Stephenson thing played
Speaker 1: a part in Henderson getting all those touches, getting all
Speaker 1: those carries, and kudos to Josh McDaniels and Mike Rabel
Speaker 1: for not letting Terrell Jennings get in the way. Yeah,
Speaker 1: last week, which I think was a little bit nerve
Speaker 1: wracking for all of us. Now you think it's over Stacy,
Speaker 1: it's not, because we got to go through this again.
Speaker 1: Mike Reese reporting that Ramandre Stevenson and I have not
Speaker 1: seen anything as far as practice goes today. But Stevenson
Speaker 1: with that toe was limited in yesterday's practice. He has
Speaker 1: not played since I believe week nine, and the fact
Speaker 1: that he gets in a limited practice on Wednesday, you
Speaker 1: probably I'm thinking at least he's more on the optimistic
Speaker 1: side of questionable. But you can't recork the wine, you
Speaker 1: can't put the toothpaste back in the tooth, or can you.
Speaker 1: Considering the coaches we're dealing with, I love that this
Speaker 1: week I'm going to be playing them everywhere, but there's
Speaker 1: a little bit of pucker that goes to that. I'm
Speaker 1: a little bit nervous about inserting Henderson in my lineups.
Speaker 1: How do you think this situation is going to go
Speaker 1: when New England takes the field this week?
Speaker 2: Okay, So if for mare, if Stevenson is cleared, if
Speaker 2: he's active and I have him on a lead, I
Speaker 2: am probably starting him against that Cincinnati defense. Right, They're
Speaker 2: so soft against the run. Against the air, different story,
Speaker 2: but they are so soft against the run. So I
Speaker 2: feel like this is going to be a big whoever
Speaker 2: it is in the backfield for New England day now.
Speaker 2: I mean I've been saying this. You know this season,
Speaker 2: you've got to find yourself somebody bulky that is going
Speaker 2: to look at you the way that Mike Rabel looks
Speaker 2: set Ramandre Stevenson, Okay, because he can do no wrong.
Speaker 2: He can do no wrong in Rabel's eyes. He can
Speaker 2: fumble the ball eight hundred times, does not matter. He's
Speaker 2: still gonna throw him back out there. So if he's available,
Speaker 2: if he's active, I'm starting him. But I'm still starting
Speaker 2: Henderson too. This is a great matchup. I feel like
Speaker 2: you could probably start both of these guys going forward.
Speaker 2: Are we going to have some questions about who is it?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 2: It gonna still be Henderson. Is it going to go
Speaker 2: back to Stevenson. We don't know, but this week I
Speaker 2: think you start both of them if they're both active.
Speaker 1: Shout out to our producer Sean Engel tonight stating that
Speaker 1: Stevenson was indeed limited in practice today as well. So
Speaker 1: back to back games with a limited practice. Now, what
Speaker 1: about if you play in a closed twelve team league
Speaker 1: where it's more important to carry your own handcuffs rather
Speaker 1: than a big national tournament like the has to offer.
Speaker 1: If you have Stevenson and Henderson, you just said they're
Speaker 1: both startable. Are they both startable on the same team?
Speaker 1: That gets a little dicey?
Speaker 2: Oh it does?
Speaker 1: It is, But to your point, it is Cincinnati. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and we saw you know I mentioned at the top
Speaker 1: of the show today. Last week you had Tracy and
Speaker 1: Singletary going up against a good Packers rush defense and
Speaker 1: they were both startable. So maybe they are both started,
Speaker 1: even on the same team.
Speaker 2: Bengals giving up thirty five point six Fantasy points per
Speaker 2: game two opposing teams running backs. That is by far
Speaker 2: the most in the league. Next closest is the Bills
Speaker 2: and they're only at twenty eight, So by far, I
Speaker 2: think there's like very few teams that you can feel
Speaker 2: comfortable starting both running backs, like Detroit, right, maybe even Atlanta.
Speaker 2: You can probably start both in Atlanta now and now
Speaker 2: I think this week specifically, I think you can start
Speaker 2: both in New England.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it makes sense because of the matchup. And
Speaker 1: I don't think I have I don't even know if
Speaker 1: I have any Remandre Stevenson teams this year, which is
Speaker 1: how did I I was in in Trevan Henderson. Did
Speaker 1: you get a chance to meet steven yourglos the fantasy
Speaker 1: soprano at all? Okay, y, yeah, yes I am too,
Speaker 1: and and he apparently, you know, we text back and
Speaker 1: forth and or maybe it's something I said on the show.
Speaker 1: It wouldn't surprise me if it was, because I did
Speaker 1: load up on Trevian Henderson this year. But Steve was like,
Speaker 1: props the ball key. He's the guy who turned me
Speaker 1: on to Trevian Henderson this year, and he was saying
Speaker 1: that in like late in the drafting season, like god,
Speaker 1: I hope it works out. And then I'm like, geez,
Speaker 1: I hope he stops mentioning that. You know, and now
Speaker 1: and now it's like if you've survived with these Henderson
Speaker 1: teams long enough, and you're still like, you know, in
Speaker 1: the playoffs or what have you. Now all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: you're like, Okay, this could actually work out, even though
Speaker 1: it hadn't worked out for like the first nine or
Speaker 1: ten weeks of the season. All right, let's get into
Speaker 1: Jamison Williams here, Whiskey Bill as the kids call him.
Speaker 1: Four of seven targets were snared by him for eighty
Speaker 1: eight yards and a touchdown in their loss to the
Speaker 1: Eagles this past Sunday night. He also had one carry
Speaker 1: for nine yards. Now, this was the first game, first
Speaker 1: full game that Detroit's had this season. With Sam Laporta
Speaker 1: on IR, you noticed, or maybe you did notice, that
Speaker 1: the Eagles really put a focus on taking a mon
Speaker 1: Ross Saint Brown out of the game. Williams got the
Speaker 1: big forty yard touchdown earlier in the in the second quarter,
Speaker 1: and and then you know, I guess the Lions come
Speaker 1: up short in this game. But this was still a
Speaker 1: win for Jamison Williams. Fantass And now he gets the
Speaker 1: Giants this week, which give up explosive plays like it's
Speaker 1: a bodily function. We have seen the worm turned here
Speaker 1: since Dan Campbell took over calling plays over John Morton.
Speaker 1: Things have changed, and the promise that we were given
Speaker 1: about Trevian Henderson seems to be coming true. I think
Speaker 1: you could say a similar thing for Jamison Williams right now.
Speaker 1: Stay he looks dialed in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. I mean, they paid him all this
Speaker 2: money right in the off season with his extension, and
Speaker 2: you know, everyone's okay, finally it's his year, right, and
Speaker 2: then it doesn't happen. It doesn't happen. And then finally
Speaker 2: it happens now that Campbell's taken over, and you take
Speaker 2: a look against Washington twenty three point nine fantasy points,
Speaker 2: last week against Philly nineteen, even before that against Minnesota,
Speaker 2: he had a good game against Minnesota and they've got
Speaker 2: a great defense. So you know, I think it's finally
Speaker 2: starting to click. You know. No, I mean, I hate
Speaker 2: that Laporte is Ollury is one of my favorite tight ends,
Speaker 2: but you know, at least it opens up some more
Speaker 2: targets for Williams, and I think kind of we see
Speaker 2: that again against the Giants this week.
Speaker 3: There our resident Finns fan, Tom Smith chiming in on
Speaker 3: X tonight saying that everyone on the Lions is going
Speaker 3: to score this week, even the water Boy.
Speaker 1: The total on that game is fifty and a half
Speaker 1: and yet the Lions are ten and a half point favorite.
Speaker 1: So if you extrapolate that out, they're projected for about
Speaker 1: five touchdowns this week. And so everybody might score, you
Speaker 1: know who won't score Sam Laporta. So that obviously targets
Speaker 1: a little bit more with Gibbs and and you know,
Speaker 1: maybe Montgomery to a certain extent, but definitely with Williams
Speaker 1: and Saint Brown as well. Are you how nervous are
Speaker 1: you about Laporta? I mean the fact that they have
Speaker 1: not they've had the opportunity to say, oh, he'll be
Speaker 1: back after four games, and they haven't yet. I'm wondering
Speaker 1: if this is a season long thing here and maybe
Speaker 1: we don't even see him in the playoffs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean that as seem really nervous, you know,
Speaker 2: like they're not you know, being and they're pretty the Lions,
Speaker 2: at least from what I what I know is they're
Speaker 2: pretty you know, they're not sneaky about their injury. You know,
Speaker 2: they're pretty sight forward. Yeah. So so the fact that
Speaker 2: they haven't really come out and given a definitive answer
Speaker 2: about that does make me a little nervous. I just
Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still like having PTSD from Tucker Craft's injury.
Speaker 2: I can't even talk about like tight ends right now.
Speaker 2: So the fact that like both of them are on
Speaker 2: the ir it's like my two favorite tight ends in
Speaker 2: the entire league. It's just it's it's brutal right now.
Speaker 2: But yeah, it does. It doesn't make me very nervous
Speaker 2: for them.
Speaker 1: I feel like I got saved from Tucker Craft this
Speaker 1: year because I spent most of draftings and telling people
Speaker 1: not to draft packers pass catchers because it's just it's
Speaker 1: such a it's such a fickle thing from week to
Speaker 1: week where yeah, Watson is going to catch five for
Speaker 1: one hundred and thirty and two touchdowns. The next week
Speaker 1: he'll get two for twenty. And I thought I was
Speaker 1: lumping Tucker Craft in that as well. And then I
Speaker 1: don't know what happened. I think it was like early
Speaker 1: to mid August and everybody is telling me I'm wrong
Speaker 1: and that Craft is going to be great, and I'm like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I gotta start drafting some Tucker Craft.
Speaker 1: So I drafted him a few times late, but I
Speaker 1: definitely was not hit as hard as some other people
Speaker 1: were this year, which stinks because it looked it not
Speaker 1: only looked like he was a league winner, Stacey, it
Speaker 1: looked like he was the engine that was really making
Speaker 1: that Packers offense go offensively. They have not looked the
Speaker 1: same since Craft went down, And this is something that's
Speaker 1: not only a detriment to the Packers hopes to make
Speaker 1: a deep postseason runs. It's detrimental to people who are
Speaker 1: hoping for big numbers from Love and Jacob's and Watson
Speaker 1: and Dobbs and you know, all these guys that that
Speaker 1: they're gonna be flexing out or playing in their fantasy lines.
Speaker 1: It doesn't give me the warm fuzzies at all with
Speaker 1: the Packers offense what we've seen.
Speaker 2: Without Craft, No, it doesn't. I mean like after the
Speaker 2: first couple games of the season, I was like, oh
Speaker 2: my god, we have Michael Persons, O, We're going the
Speaker 2: super Bowl this year. Like this feel like amazing. And
Speaker 2: then you know it just kind of tailed off, you know,
Speaker 2: losing to the Browns and then just didn't get any better.
Speaker 2: And I was I was one of the people draft
Speaker 2: in Tucker Craft all year long. I've just loved Tucker Kraft,
Speaker 2: love what he does with the YAC and everything, and
Speaker 2: you just think he's a great player. But you know,
Speaker 2: ever since you know his injury, we just don't have
Speaker 2: an answer for that. We don't have an answer to
Speaker 2: how are we going to replace you know, the production
Speaker 2: that he brings. And right now, I guess what, it's
Speaker 2: not Lou Musgrave. He's not able to produce that.
Speaker 1: Although I will say just just not to interrupt you,
Speaker 1: but I guess say I will say Matt Lafleur was
Speaker 1: asked about that after the game because Musgrave had like
Speaker 1: what three catches for like thirty yards? It was it
Speaker 1: was not great, non impactful, yeah, production, and he was
Speaker 1: asked about that and Lafleur, I wouldn't say he went off,
Speaker 1: but he kind of like kept going back to the
Speaker 1: point like we got to get him more snaps, we
Speaker 1: got to get him more looks, And he basically said,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have a conversation with our staff about that.
Speaker 1: I wonder if that was like an Adam Stenovich thing
Speaker 1: or something where Lafleur actually wanted to utilize him more
Speaker 1: and he just wasn't out there. So I do wonder
Speaker 1: if we're going to see like an over correction on
Speaker 1: the Packers part where we might see actually seeing a
Speaker 1: little extra muscrave this week. I don't know, I could
Speaker 1: be reading too much, but it was just weird to
Speaker 1: hear him talk about it like that.
Speaker 2: Well, I mean, you know, I I'm all for that, Like,
Speaker 2: if that's what it's going to take to get him
Speaker 2: more productive and get you know, some more of at
Speaker 2: least what what Tucker was giving us back, give him
Speaker 2: more targets all day. I'm absolutely you know, if that works, great.
Speaker 2: If they do that and it still doesn't really you know,
Speaker 2: result in anything, then I think then we know our answer.
Speaker 1: And and the fact that Josh Wiley scores a touchdown
Speaker 1: from the tight end position for the Packers last week,
Speaker 1: just rubbing salt into the open from Green Bay to
Speaker 1: Tampa Bay. Let's talk about Sean Tucker. Scott Smith, who
Speaker 1: covers the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, had this to say, after
Speaker 1: Josh Grizzard or Grizzard, Is it Grizzard or Grizzar Brizard?
Speaker 2: I think, well, at least I'm saying it Grizzard because
Speaker 2: that to me, I just feel like that that rolls
Speaker 2: off the tongue a little bit better.
Speaker 1: You're in Tampa too, right, Yeah, so you're the expert
Speaker 1: on this much more.
Speaker 2: And he's from like Lizard Licks somewhere. That's like the
Speaker 2: talent that he's from too, Like it's very it's.
Speaker 1: Very interesting bizard from lizard Lick. Yeah. Yeah, he said
Speaker 1: Sean Tucker's workload is has been going up every week
Speaker 1: as he continues to do well, and he does expect
Speaker 1: that to continue. I would assume he's talking about not
Speaker 1: only Tucker doing well continuing, but Tucker's workload going up
Speaker 1: week now. Irving and Sean you can check this out.
Speaker 1: I think it was a limited practice today for Tucker
Speaker 1: for Irving. Beg your pardon. So we don't know what
Speaker 1: the actual breakdown is going to be. This is a
Speaker 1: game where the Buccaneers have to travel across the country
Speaker 1: to take on a fairly tough defense in the Los
Speaker 1: Angeles Rams. I'm kind of hoping for the people who
Speaker 1: are counting on Sean Tucker this week that Irving doesn't play,
Speaker 1: because if Irving is active in this game, what a
Speaker 1: cluster f if between Sean Tucker Bucky Irving, perhaps splitting
Speaker 1: Carries and Stacy. If we wide scope this because of
Speaker 1: Tucker's performance, this is going to cause problems not only
Speaker 1: week twelve, but going forward, because this could be a
Speaker 1: really muddled backfield from what was fairly clean at the
Speaker 1: start of the years. It's clear as a cloud, clear
Speaker 1: as as fog right now.
Speaker 2: Well, it's like, how much do we hate running back
Speaker 2: by committees? Right? And now let's make it three? That's horrible,
Speaker 2: you know, and they're all three talented in their own Steff,
Speaker 2: you know, they in their own ways. Right from what
Speaker 2: I've been hearing like local radio here is that he
Speaker 2: is practicing on a limited basis, Bucky Irving, but he's
Speaker 2: not going to be active for the game on Sunday night.
Speaker 2: I mean, well, fingers crossed will see if that's kind
Speaker 2: of but that's the way it looks like. It's it's
Speaker 2: trending anyway, so we may not have to worry about
Speaker 2: that at least for another week. But I've always been
Speaker 2: a big Seantucker family. He was coming out of school,
Speaker 2: you know, ends up going undrafted because of that heart
Speaker 2: issue that kind of gets discovered and everything. But you know,
Speaker 2: and I've gotten to go to training camp a few
Speaker 2: times and see him up close, like he just looks
Speaker 2: so explosive, and he's looked like the better running back
Speaker 2: the last couple of weeks and last year, you know,
Speaker 2: he had a couple of games at Flash. I think
Speaker 2: he had a thirty point Fantasy game one of those weeks,
Speaker 2: I think where Shad White was out, Bucky was out
Speaker 2: something like that, he had the starting role. So I'm
Speaker 2: a big fan of Shontagar this week. I mean, it
Speaker 2: is a really tough defense there against the Rams. I hate,
Speaker 2: you know, teams going cross country. I don't normally like to,
Speaker 2: you know, I rely on guys that are kind of
Speaker 2: coming in that way, but you know, it is what
Speaker 2: it is. It's going into week twelve in Fantasy. A
Speaker 2: lot of us are starting Seawn Tucker this week.
Speaker 1: You know, I want to get back to the Buccaneers here,
Speaker 1: but I'm nothing but a people pleaser here, Stacy. So
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Fireboroughs twenty six to seventy five.
Speaker 1: Watching us on YouTube right now, we like Dak and
Speaker 1: Purty question Mark. Now this could have multiple answers to
Speaker 1: it because I do happen to like rock Party this
Speaker 1: week on Monday Night Football at home against the Panthers.
Speaker 1: After what I saw last week THEO Greminger was calling
Speaker 1: him a league winner. I'm not going to go that far,
Speaker 1: but I do think if you are in the playoffs
Speaker 1: right now, and you've kept Purty on your roster this
Speaker 1: whole time you waited on quarterback, yes, that this could
Speaker 1: be a boon for you. So I do like Purdy
Speaker 1: this week. Prescott on a short week against the Eagles. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I know it's at home, but I do get nervous
Speaker 1: about it. It's a weekly game, and I know this
Speaker 1: is lazy analysis, but it's a weekly game in fantasy,
Speaker 1: and I think so oftentimes we as fantasy players, analysts, whatever,
Speaker 1: we're prisoners of the moment, and recency bias clouds our
Speaker 1: judgment on these players. The Cowboys could be looking at
Speaker 1: being so good and producing so much on Monday night
Speaker 1: and then like that, Prescott grows for one hundred and
Speaker 1: seventy yards pickings and Lamb failed the top sixty yards
Speaker 1: no touchdowns in that game, and the Cowboy and the
Speaker 1: Eagles win at fifteen to twelve or something like that.
Speaker 1: So it's very difficult for me to say, yeah, I
Speaker 1: like Prescott this week. Orderline top ten option. You may
Speaker 1: not have a better option, but I like Purdy quite
Speaker 1: a bit more than I like Prescott in Week.
Speaker 2: Twelve, Yeah, same. I like the matchups that party has
Speaker 2: a lot more of their at home, you know, against
Speaker 2: and I don't want to and I don't want to
Speaker 2: belittle the Panthers either, because they have made some strides.
Speaker 2: They're not the Panthers they have been the last couple
Speaker 2: of years, so their defense is a lot better than
Speaker 2: it has been. But still I still like Purty. I
Speaker 2: like their offense is a lot better and too. You
Speaker 2: look at the Cowboys in the Philly that's a divisional matchup.
Speaker 2: They're going to play each other tough, you know. And
Speaker 2: I just don't like what Philly's been doing to opposing
Speaker 2: team's quarterbacks this year. You know, they've really been limiting them.
Speaker 2: I think they're giving up like the tenth fewest Fantasy
Speaker 2: points to opposing teams quarterbacks. So you don't like that
Speaker 2: at all. It's hard to not start Dak right unless
Speaker 2: you have a much better option, but I think you
Speaker 2: definitely have to downgrade him this week.
Speaker 1: Fire Bros. You're very welcome. Hopefully it works out for
Speaker 1: analysis on party versus Prescott. Getting back to the Buccaneers
Speaker 1: here Stacey Andrew Erickson and I'm gonna butcher this. Andrew
Speaker 1: Erickson for Fantasy Pros on a podcast this week, was
Speaker 1: talking about there was a safety that was hurt and
Speaker 1: he's still beat up coming into this game against the
Speaker 1: against the Buccaneers, and because he missed last week's game,
Speaker 1: the Rams were down to safety. They were forced to
Speaker 1: play one of their backup safeties and A. J. Barner
Speaker 1: ended up having a pretty good game for seattlegainst. Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know what it was, like six seven targets.
Speaker 1: He caught like six of them for like, you know,
Speaker 1: forty fifty yards, which yeah, on the surface doesn't sound great,
Speaker 1: but tight end premium scoring. I mean that could be
Speaker 1: a difference. And look at Kadott this week, who is
Speaker 1: coming into this game, granted, you know, off a poor game.
Speaker 1: He saw five targets, he catches two of them for
Speaker 1: twenty eight yards against the Bills. Kayd Atten has the
Speaker 1: most targets, receptions, and yardage of all NFL tight ends
Speaker 1: this season that have not scored touchdowns. I think this
Speaker 1: could be the week I like him against the Rams.
Speaker 1: I don't necessarily love Baker Mayfield in this matchup when
Speaker 1: I think Oughton could return good fantasy value. He's a
Speaker 1: player that I would think in FFPC tight end premium leagues.
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say must start. But Stacy, I think
Speaker 1: he's darned close this week.
Speaker 2: I you know, I think there's a lot of there's
Speaker 2: a lot of guys that I would not start, you know,
Speaker 2: in fair I would I would start and over I
Speaker 2: think at this point, given the situation there, you know,
Speaker 2: we are missing so many people in Tampa. I was
Speaker 2: just taking a look at target share percentages and over
Speaker 2: the last three games, Atton's target shared percentage has gone
Speaker 2: from fifteen point six all the way up to twenty
Speaker 2: three point nine over the last three games. That is
Speaker 2: right behind him Meco Buca. So he's the number two
Speaker 2: option right now for Mayfield, me Feld trust him. You know,
Speaker 2: he's a big body guy, can get out there and
Speaker 2: grab the ball, you know, gives him that other option there.
Speaker 2: So I really do like Katat and this week, especially
Speaker 2: in that tight end premium format, you know, like there's
Speaker 2: just there's just not too many people. I feel more
Speaker 2: comfort confident starting over Katat and I think this.
Speaker 1: Week shout out to Okay, so I'm gonna I'm gonna
Speaker 1: do this first shout out to our our man, Albert
Speaker 1: Marriken six to Zho two who said Quinton Lake is
Speaker 1: the safety that Ericson was referring to. Quentin Lake played
Speaker 1: thirty two of eighty four snaps against the Seahawks before
Speaker 1: he dislocated his elbow. Now had surgery and he's placed
Speaker 1: on ir so he is not playing this week. Another
Speaker 1: reason to like, uh for sure in this And then
Speaker 1: also Sean Engel, our producer Tonight Rondez Barber, Buccaneers legend
Speaker 1: who I believe covers the team he does, and he's
Speaker 1: saying that Irving is going to be listed as out
Speaker 1: for Week twelve. So that clears things up a little
Speaker 1: bit with with Sean Tucker. You know, I always I
Speaker 1: always bring this up. Dan Williamson from Player Profiler, Your colleague.
Speaker 1: There's Stacy who hosts the Fantasy Empire podcast. He said
Speaker 1: this last year, but I think it still rings true
Speaker 1: because he is not a rashad white guy. And he
Speaker 1: says the three running backs in the Buccaneers backfield are Bucky,
Speaker 1: Tucky and Sucky referring to Rashad White, and so he
Speaker 1: he is, and like I have White on on a
Speaker 1: few teams, and at this point, Stacy, I'm just keeping
Speaker 1: him around just in case the you know, like Irving
Speaker 1: isn't ready to come back next week and maybe something
Speaker 1: happens to Tucker, Like White is now basically a handcuff, right,
Speaker 1: He's an injury way type guy. I can't. I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't give any reasons to keep him on your
Speaker 1: roster other than the contingent upside.
Speaker 2: No, and he has put up some real stinkers the
Speaker 2: last few weeks, you know, when he has been hurt
Speaker 2: the first few weeks of the season, like he's had
Speaker 2: some games where he's popped, and I have him and
Speaker 2: eventually he's in my in my leags where I was
Speaker 2: like holding off on a running back. He was one
Speaker 2: that I went after, you know, because he had he
Speaker 2: actually among and this was kind of why I had
Speaker 2: justified it was he had I think six touch six
Speaker 2: receiving touchdowns last season, which was by far more than
Speaker 2: any other running back within his range of where you
Speaker 2: were drafting him had and so that was kind of
Speaker 2: an upside play for me, was to go grab him
Speaker 2: for that, you know, kind of potential there. But yeah,
Speaker 2: he's not looked great at all, and especially with Sean
Speaker 2: Tucker coming on and just you know, kind of cementing
Speaker 2: his role. I think, is you know going to be
Speaker 2: going forward running back to there? You know, I just
Speaker 2: I you have to hang on to him. It's that
Speaker 2: time of season, right especially if you drop him, he
Speaker 2: can't go back get him later or anything like that.
Speaker 2: So you're hanging on to him, but you're not going
Speaker 2: to start him.
Speaker 1: Our mutual friend Adam Krautwurzt always says, never drop a
Speaker 1: running back, Yeah, because you never do it. It always
Speaker 1: comes back to by you. I shouldn't say always, but
Speaker 1: he usually comes back to Bye back to Tom Smith
Speaker 1: on YouTube any chance. Michael Wilson has a decent game
Speaker 1: this week with Marvin Harrison Junior out again. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: found out yesterday that Harrison has already been ruled out
Speaker 1: for Week twelve against the Jaguars, and the fact that
Speaker 1: he is ruled out this early, I think you can
Speaker 1: start looking at like, God, is he even gonna be
Speaker 1: available in week thirteen. Mike Wilson fifteen catches one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty five yards, which, by the way, to the
Speaker 1: surprise of no one, is more catches and yards than
Speaker 1: Harrison has ever had in a single game. Now the
Speaker 1: Cardinals are throwing it a ton. I don't know how
Speaker 1: much that changes if Trey Benson comes back this week
Speaker 1: or maybe in weeks going forward. But Brissette I paid
Speaker 1: the through the nose for in a couple of Dynasty
Speaker 1: leagues last night because I needed to have a guy
Speaker 1: like this on my roster, especially with Michael Pennox being
Speaker 1: sent to I had no answers for backup quarterbacks those leagues.
Speaker 1: So when when we look at it from from the
Speaker 1: standpoint of Michael Wilson bringing it back to that, I
Speaker 1: don't see a reason that the Cardinals just go back to,
Speaker 1: you know, running the ball, running the ball, running the ball.
Speaker 1: This is how their bread is buttered. It's Jacoby Brissette
Speaker 1: throwing the ball all over the field. I love McBride
Speaker 1: this week. I like Michael Wilson. So to answer Tom's question,
Speaker 1: any chance he has a decent game, Yes, I think
Speaker 1: there's a good chance he has a decent game. And
Speaker 1: I also think there's a solid chance he has another
Speaker 1: good game. I don't know about fifteen for one hundred
Speaker 1: and eighty five, but I do like him this week
Speaker 1: against the Jags for sure.
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh, same, absolutely. I mean, yeah, I don't think
Speaker 2: he's going to one hundred and eighty five yards again
Speaker 2: this week, but I do think that he's going to
Speaker 2: have a really great game, you know, besides Trey McBride,
Speaker 2: He's going to be the guy there. You know, I
Speaker 2: think we're going to probably touch on doors here in
Speaker 2: a little bit, but but yeah, I really do like
Speaker 2: Michael Wilson this week. I think he's just a phenomenally talented,
Speaker 2: you know, receiver. He's had a lot of injury issues,
Speaker 2: you know, coming out of college and everything that he's
Speaker 2: dealt with, but you know, it seems like he's finally healthy.
Speaker 2: He's really connected with percent and Brissette has kind of
Speaker 2: come in and just kind of been that guy that
Speaker 2: would they say, like a rising tide lifts all boats,
Speaker 2: like that's exactly what he's done with this offense. It's
Speaker 2: lived night and day better than it has with Kyler Murray.
Speaker 2: And I mean, you think you can take a look
Speaker 2: at the stats with with Trey McBride, how he was
Speaker 2: never getting in the end zone with Murray and now
Speaker 2: he's had what seven touchdowns this season? So yeah, just
Speaker 2: all day with it with the Cardinals, Wilson McBride, all
Speaker 2: those guys.
Speaker 1: I want to ask you the question on Twitch we're
Speaker 1: getting from Vimy Machiedo. I think that I'm pronouncing that right,
Speaker 1: Vivia Machiedo, Yo, should I start Jordan Addison or Alec Pierce?
Speaker 1: Jordan Addison going up against the Packers at lambeau Field
Speaker 1: still up in the air, may or may not go
Speaker 1: to that game versus Alec Pearce who is at Narrowhead,
Speaker 1: and I have made up my mind I will not
Speaker 1: be at that game this week. I look at this
Speaker 1: from the standpoint of the quarterback. Now, this is what
Speaker 1: we should We probably should have let off the show
Speaker 1: with this, and this is my fault. But to answer
Speaker 1: this question, I think we have to talk about Daniel
Speaker 1: Jones here. First, Stacy, he was not on the injury
Speaker 1: report yesterday and then he's listed as a limited participant
Speaker 1: today with a calf injury. So this is a midweek downgrade.
Speaker 1: Ian Rapaport said that he believes the Colts are being
Speaker 1: cautious in this, so that's probably good. I think he
Speaker 1: plays at this point, but this does throw a little
Speaker 1: bit of cold water on this. The good part about
Speaker 1: this neither one of these teams play tonight, so we'll
Speaker 1: find out what the practice reports are for Jones and
Speaker 1: so on and so forth by the time Sunday rolls around.
Speaker 1: We have to get these lineups solidified. My belief is
Speaker 1: I trust Daniel. I can't believe I'm saying this. I
Speaker 1: trust Daniel Jones more than JJ McCarthy at this point.
Speaker 1: And the fact that Alec Pearce has been so prevalent
Speaker 1: in the rise of Daniel Jones to you know, being
Speaker 1: a quasi MVP candidate right now, it's tough for me
Speaker 1: to say. Yeah, no, I like Addison better than Pierce. Here.
Speaker 1: I think I would play Pierce assuming Jones is active
Speaker 1: for this game, which I think he will be. Assuming
Speaker 1: he's active, I would play Pierce over Addison. What would
Speaker 1: you do? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean, well, first off, you have to refer to
Speaker 2: Daniel Jones as his alter ego, Indiana Jones, which makes
Speaker 2: him much cooler than Daniel Jones. I do like Pierce
Speaker 2: more than Addison this week. I don't like what I'm
Speaker 2: seeing out of JJ McCarthy at all. Don't care for that.
Speaker 2: I think you've seen like a definite downgrade in how
Speaker 2: Jefferson's been able to produce Addison too. It's affected both
Speaker 2: of them. So you know, Kansas City is going to
Speaker 2: be a tough defense. That's going to be a tough
Speaker 2: matchup for the Colts. But I still think given the
Speaker 2: target share, I mean, he's he's kind of pushing alt
Speaker 2: Pearce is kind of pushing for for wide receiver one
Speaker 2: there with against Michael Pittman. You know, he's taken over
Speaker 2: a lot of that target share lately the last several games.
Speaker 2: So I gotta go Pierce on this one. I think
Speaker 2: right now, just go at the hot hand somewhere.
Speaker 1: Your cousin, Farrell Elliott's head is exploding right now with
Speaker 1: this Michael and sacrilege blast that we're hearing. But I
Speaker 1: think you're right for what it's worth they are, So yeah,
Speaker 1: I think it's Pierce over Addison and we'll stay We'll
Speaker 1: stay on on twitch here with ex plub boo if
Speaker 1: I'm pronouncing that right, Hey, Kenneth Walker or Quinn Shawn Judkins.
Speaker 1: This week, Kenneth Walker at Tennessee We'll talk more about
Speaker 1: Walker later. I have some thoughts on this quin Shawn
Speaker 1: Judkins at Las Vegas. Love the matchup for Judkins here,
Speaker 1: I am playing Judkins over Walker, even with the uptick
Speaker 1: in production and touches for Walker. I can't in good
Speaker 1: conscience sit Judkins in favor of Walker. Yeah.
Speaker 2: Same not with that matchup. And and then we don't
Speaker 2: know who is it going to be Sanders at quarterback?
Speaker 1: For sure? I mean I I think Stefanski announced it
Speaker 1: that that Gabriel is not clearing concussion protocol, and then
Speaker 1: it will be Sanders at quarterback. Yeah, I just how
Speaker 1: do you play that, Stacy? When you think about that, like, oh,
Speaker 1: that means more action in the running game for Judkins,
Speaker 1: but that also means like, are they going to be
Speaker 1: able to sustain drives with should Sanders at quarterback?
Speaker 2: I don't know, That's what That's what I feel like.
Speaker 2: Max Crosby is gonna make Should Sanders day real miserable.
Speaker 2: And so I'm definitely all in on the Dunkins train
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: The one of the I mean, there's plenty of criticisms
Speaker 1: on Sanders coming out of Colorado, but one of the
Speaker 1: biggest I heard was how many sacks this dude took
Speaker 1: like just inexcusable amounts of time where he's holding onto
Speaker 1: the football and not getting rid of it. We saw
Speaker 1: some of that this past week. Now he will get
Speaker 1: the opportunity to run with the first team and have
Speaker 1: a full week of reps. I don't know how much
Speaker 1: that figures into it. And it is the Raiders defense
Speaker 1: this week too, so there's something we said for that.
Speaker 1: That said, I have picked up the Raiders defense in
Speaker 1: a few of my fantasy leagues, and I'll be running
Speaker 1: them out there against Sugar the same.
Speaker 2: That was a popular one though. You know, when I
Speaker 2: was looking at like, all right, who am I going
Speaker 2: to go? I was like, well, let's throw Vegas in
Speaker 2: this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I do you normally stream defenses in your league? Stacy?
Speaker 1: How do you normally handle that? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I mean so unless I'm in Kentucky, right, and that's
Speaker 2: a whole different scoring with defense, But normally I am.
Speaker 2: I'm that's my it's gonna be my last pick that
Speaker 2: if I have to play with a kicker or something
Speaker 2: too like, those two are going to be my last
Speaker 2: two picks, and then I'll deal with it from week
Speaker 2: to week. You know, I might try to get like
Speaker 2: a decent one occasionally if if it works out, But
Speaker 2: for the most part, I think just they're not They're
Speaker 2: going to give you probably the same of points right
Speaker 2: as maybe like a flex option, maybe a lower end
Speaker 2: flex something like that from week to week. So I'm
Speaker 2: not as worried about that. So I just prefer usually
Speaker 2: let me let me go match up to match up.
Speaker 1: I probably shouldn't be telling you this because we compete
Speaker 1: in a lot of leagues together. But the way I've
Speaker 1: handled defenses in Kentucky, even though the defensive scoring is
Speaker 1: scoring on steroids, are I still stream defenses there. I
Speaker 1: usually what I'll do is nineteenth round, twentieth round, I'll
Speaker 1: grab a defense that has a good Week one matchup
Speaker 1: or whatever. I think people have been kind of duplicating
Speaker 1: that over the year, so that's a little bit more
Speaker 1: difficult to do, so I'll try to grab it. Yes, exactly, huge, Yeah,
Speaker 1: and that wasn't even just week one. They had a
Speaker 1: really good September six weeks. Yeah. Yeah, So after like
Speaker 1: eight or nine are off the board, I'll grab one.
Speaker 1: But then, like I begin my defensive evolution over the
Speaker 1: course of the season because of bye weeks and stuff,
Speaker 1: people start dropping these defenses. There's a lot of people
Speaker 1: that will invest in two defenses in Kentucky and then
Speaker 1: inevitably are like, God, I got to cut one of
Speaker 1: these guys to get a third wide receiver in my
Speaker 1: lineup this week, and then I just sort of cobble
Speaker 1: them together. So I'm constantly like looking at rest of
Speaker 1: season schedule and trying to figure out, you know, and
Speaker 1: then I like, typically I do like to have two defenses. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, optimally I'm saying, like a top five defense
Speaker 1: every single week based on the matchup. The rest of
Speaker 1: the season doesn't always go that way. That's usually like
Speaker 1: how I had to handle it. Okay, a lot on
Speaker 1: defense there the uh. By the way, Tom chiming into
Speaker 1: our defensive discussion, Dallas defense last week, Raiders defense this week.
Speaker 1: Who knew? But you know what, that's that's fantasy, right
Speaker 1: that that's part of the game. And if you can
Speaker 1: and if you can nail that part of your lineup down,
Speaker 1: you're gonna have an advantage over a lot of your
Speaker 1: opponents this year. And krimny on on Twitch, but shout
Speaker 1: out to all the twitch users tonight This is awesome
Speaker 1: seeing so many twitch people in here. I hate to
Speaker 1: ask kicker question, but very close week and it's must win.
Speaker 1: Go Fairbairn tonight or stick with McLaughlin versus the Rams now, Stacy,
Speaker 1: I don't know if I have any miracle kicker analysis
Speaker 1: on this.
Speaker 2: I have.
Speaker 1: I utilized fairbarn earlier in the season, then I the
Speaker 1: middle part of the season. Then I cut him in
Speaker 1: a lot of leagues when he had that injury. I
Speaker 1: think he had an injury, right, yeah, he did, yeah,
Speaker 1: And so I caught him and I do have McLaughlin
Speaker 1: in a lot of spots. Now I don't necessarily think
Speaker 1: it's the greatest matchup. I'm just seeing this right now too.
Speaker 2: He's no injury designation? Are you talking about for fair Baron?
Speaker 1: Is that what now, McLaughlin? Yeah? Why is he listed
Speaker 1: as questionable? Or am I looking at that? I might
Speaker 1: be looking at this.
Speaker 2: So I had looked up because I knew that I
Speaker 2: had seen something earlier in the week about fair Baron,
Speaker 2: so I wanted to check and see and it just
Speaker 2: the latest news from yesterday was that he has no
Speaker 2: injury designation. I just looked at this and this was
Speaker 2: something that I had not realized. Fair Baron has the
Speaker 2: most Fantasy points per game of all kickers.
Speaker 1: Wow, so that is surprising.
Speaker 2: McLaughlin is at nine point nine. He's tenth overall. Fair
Speaker 2: Baron's eleven point nine. So not a huge difference there.
Speaker 2: They're both in domes. That's usually kind of how I
Speaker 2: pick my kickers is who's going to play in homes
Speaker 2: more often, especially when you get towards the end of
Speaker 2: the season, you know, with the nasty weather everywhere. So
Speaker 2: that's kind of how I go with it. Tonight, You've
Speaker 2: got those two guys that looks like they're they're the
Speaker 2: dome question has been answered. I gotta go with fairbarn here.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna say this, I I I like just comment.
Speaker 1: I'm saying that fairban could be seventy five percent of
Speaker 1: the Texans points tonight, which is not wrong. That's not wrong.
Speaker 1: The total that is forty four and a half. The
Speaker 1: total on the Buccaneers Rams game is forty nine and
Speaker 1: a half. Both of these teams are underdogs, the Bucks
Speaker 1: by six and a half, the Texans by five and
Speaker 1: a half. So I don't think there's much the glean
Speaker 1: on there. I you know, It kind of depends upon
Speaker 1: like what your what your roster looks like. Are you
Speaker 1: dropping somebody to pick up Fairbarn? Are you dropping McLaughlin
Speaker 1: to pick up Fairbarn? That I would not do rather
Speaker 1: after Laughlin the remainder of the season, even with that
Speaker 1: great stat that you brought up a vote fair Bear,
Speaker 1: if you have both of them on your team, then yes,
Speaker 1: it's it's it's Fairbarn. This is so razor thin. Stacey
Speaker 1: is a better fantasy player than I am, so I'm
Speaker 1: gonna go with HER's say it's Fairbarn tonight because it's
Speaker 1: that close. I don't know, you know, it just so
Speaker 1: so and listen, the lights shine on those primetime players.
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't you want to watch Thursday night football
Speaker 1: and enjoy, you know, kick back with a cold one
Speaker 1: and watch fair Bear wipe all these field goals as
Speaker 1: the Bills defeat them thirty five to twelve. I think
Speaker 1: that's the way to look at it.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, And usually I was just
Speaker 2: thinking now, like my rule with domes and then my
Speaker 2: other one of my other rules is like I normally
Speaker 2: hate Thursday night games and I try to avoid them
Speaker 2: as much as possible because they're always weird. There's always
Speaker 2: something strange that's going to happen. And I was like, well,
Speaker 2: that goes against my Thursday night rule, but you know
Speaker 2: it's kickers, guys like who knows who's going to do
Speaker 2: what from which week.
Speaker 1: I think that's the best advice we can give you,
Speaker 1: is like we think fair baron, but you know, with
Speaker 1: the level of confidence we have in this is not great.
Speaker 1: All right, So we have flies beats chiming in right now.
Speaker 1: Flies appreciate the kind words from you. Chase Brown with
Speaker 1: no Jamar Chase or Bres Hall with no justin field.
Speaker 1: So if we look at this game, not the greatest
Speaker 1: matchup for the Bengals taking on the New England Patriots,
Speaker 1: but Joe Burrow could be back for this game too,
Speaker 1: which I think is interesting. I think Breese Hall is fine.
Speaker 1: It's just really difficult for me to believe in that
Speaker 1: Jets offense and the fact that this is the Week
Speaker 1: twelve Ravens defense rather than the Week four or five
Speaker 1: Ravens defense. To me, stacy has me thinking like I
Speaker 1: got to play Chase Brown here. I can't sit Brown,
Speaker 1: especially if Burrow's back out there. I can't sit Chase
Speaker 1: Brown in favor of Bree Hall.
Speaker 2: Here well, Welky, I hate disagreeing with you. I think
Speaker 2: I got to take Breese. I don't like Chase Brown
Speaker 2: this week against the Patriots. They are giving up I
Speaker 2: think it's the fewest rushing yards per game this season.
Speaker 2: I saw a stat, I guess, I think maybe two
Speaker 2: weeks ago that said the only running back so far
Speaker 2: the season that had managed to get more than fifty
Speaker 2: yards on the New England defense was there one and
Speaker 2: only Shawn Tucker. John couldn't do it. There's a whole
Speaker 2: list of you know, your top tier running backs, not
Speaker 2: one of them had been able to do it. The
Speaker 2: only one that could do with Shaun Tucker. So that
Speaker 2: to me says, you know what, Chase Brown, You're not
Speaker 2: having a great season anyway. You've been pretty disappointing. I
Speaker 2: think this is going to be We're thrown from behind
Speaker 2: a lot during this game. So I'm going to go
Speaker 2: with I'd rather have the Sincy pass catchers than I
Speaker 2: want anything to do with their backfield.
Speaker 1: But is Chase Brown not a sincey pass catcher?
Speaker 2: Oh, fair touche.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know. You could be right, because because
Speaker 1: here's the thing, you could be right and wrong at
Speaker 1: the same time. Where Brown gets like thirty five fortyrushing yards,
Speaker 1: but he catches seven balls for like sixty yards, yeah,
Speaker 1: and a touchdown and a touchdown. Who knows the total
Speaker 1: in that game is fifty and a half and Cincinnati
Speaker 1: is obviously going to have it. We say it's a
Speaker 1: negative game script for Chase Brown, but because how involved
Speaker 1: in the passing game he is, and then maybe it's
Speaker 1: not a get negative game script now to throw another
Speaker 1: pepper in the gumbo here this is Burrow or or
Speaker 1: it could be Burrow not Flacco, and Burrow I think
Speaker 1: is talented enough where he doesn't need to necessarily check
Speaker 1: it down as much as Flacco does. Right, But Burrow
Speaker 1: won't have Chase. So then do you, if you're Cincinnati,
Speaker 1: if you're Zach Taylor, do you design stuff for Chase
Speaker 1: Brown to get more involved in the game. Do you
Speaker 1: do you get these screen passes to him? Do you
Speaker 1: utilize him, you know, over the middle, just for the
Speaker 1: quick four or five six hitters, four or five six
Speaker 1: yard hitters. I don't know, so I I think I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I don't see a really good path to
Speaker 1: rushing success in this game for Chase Brown, but not
Speaker 1: necessarily in fantasy success. Now, now to kind of disagree
Speaker 1: with myself here, the Jets are thirteen and a half
Speaker 1: point underdogs, and I don't see Breese Hall having success
Speaker 1: rushing the football, but we know how talented he is
Speaker 1: catching the football. Both of these guys could get shut
Speaker 1: down from a rushing standpoint, Stacy and then still blow
Speaker 1: up with you know, a half dozen catches or maybe
Speaker 1: even more in these games too, which is wild. So
Speaker 1: I guess when it comes down to it, Stacy is
Speaker 1: saying Hall, I am saying Chase Brown, we can't help you. Flies. Yeah,
Speaker 1: got on this one. But I will say, listen to Stacy.
Speaker 2: Okay, this sounds like my worst nightmare of like a
Speaker 2: multiple choice question, like.
Speaker 1: You know, if you could play both of them, great,
Speaker 1: but apparently, you know Flys team is so good he's
Speaker 1: got to sit one of them. So there you go
Speaker 1: on that. Now it's keeping it on the running back conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's go to Minnesota. Six carries, forty five yards and
Speaker 1: a touchdown for Jordan Mason this past week against the Bears.
Speaker 1: It was a ripe matchup for the Vikings, and yet
Speaker 1: it was Aaron Jones who really dominated the backfield sixteen carries,
Speaker 1: three catches, ran a lot more routes than Jordan Mason
Speaker 1: to no one's surprise. In his last four games combined,
Speaker 1: for Jordan Mason twenty four rushing attempts, and we know
Speaker 1: he doesn't normally catch passes, you keep him on your
Speaker 1: bench for contingent upside. I don't want to play him
Speaker 1: anywhere this week against the Packers, and I do believe
Speaker 1: a little bit of extra juice for Aaron Jones coming
Speaker 1: back to lambeau Field. Jones is the play over Mason
Speaker 1: this week. I don't think Mason's flexible at all, and
Speaker 1: I don't care what format you're playing in.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I completely agree. I think Jordan Mason heard all
Speaker 2: of us talking trash about him last week and then
Speaker 2: went out and scored a touchdown. But I don't think
Speaker 2: that's going to stop me this week either. It's Aaron
Speaker 2: Jones's week for sure against the Packers there in Green Bay,
Speaker 2: and man, that's going to be Aaron Jones was one
Speaker 2: of my favorite Packers, so this's just always hard to watch.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I think it's Aaron Jones's wheat for sure, Mason,
Speaker 2: I think that's an outlier. I don't think that's going
Speaker 2: to be the normal for him going forward. He's going
Speaker 2: to go kind of, you know, regress back to what
Speaker 2: he'd been doing the last several games.
Speaker 1: You know what's funny about Aaron Jones and and you
Speaker 1: know he was beloved obviously in Green Bay. It was
Speaker 1: there's been a significant history of beloved Packers going to Minnesota. Uh,
Speaker 1: you know, Aaron Jones just continues down that line. We
Speaker 1: had Aaron Jones do it, we had Greg Jennings do it,
Speaker 1: we had Brett barv do it. Like it's just it
Speaker 1: seems like it's sort of like, you.
Speaker 2: Know, Rogers wanted to do it, and Rogers.
Speaker 1: Wanted to do it. It almost seemed like, you know,
Speaker 1: wherever your next team is, your connecting flight was in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: flying out of Green Bay, and then you just stayed
Speaker 1: there like the Vikings just kept you there and you
Speaker 1: never got to your next your next team. I don't
Speaker 1: all right, let's talk about bash'all tooton. This is a
Speaker 1: fun one here. We found out yesterday and Sean, you
Speaker 1: could check this out. I have not seen the Jacksonville
Speaker 1: practice reports today. But I can tell you that Tuton
Speaker 1: was limited in practice yesterday. He hurt his ankle late
Speaker 1: in the week eleven game, and he was on pace
Speaker 1: for a massive game. Still got seventy four yards, still
Speaker 1: got a touchdown fifteen attempts in this game too, Travis Etn,
Speaker 1: I believe, correct me if I'm wrong. I think he's
Speaker 1: dealing with an injury right now. To Stacy. Yeah, so
Speaker 1: the gap is obviously closing between these two players. This
Speaker 1: was Tuton's probably his best game as a pro, I think,
Speaker 1: and when it comes down to it, both of these
Speaker 1: guys need to be rostered. I am not one of
Speaker 1: the people that is going to say, hey, if these
Speaker 1: guys are both active, I want Tuton in my lineup.
Speaker 1: It's still ETN for me. But man, it's getting close,
Speaker 1: and I wonder for all of us. And I don't
Speaker 1: know if I ever said Tuton was going to be
Speaker 1: a league winner this year, I might have I do
Speaker 1: a lot of shows, I say a lot of crazy
Speaker 1: stuff at some point that might have come out of
Speaker 1: my mouth. But as far as Tuton being a league winner,
Speaker 1: if ETN were to go down, based on what I
Speaker 1: saw this past week, and based on what could happen
Speaker 1: this week against Arizona, I don't know, like Tuton is
Speaker 1: all of a sudden a very exciting player again here
Speaker 1: in late November.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, absolutely. I mean I had to start Tuton
Speaker 2: in a league, and you know, I was not mad
Speaker 2: about it until I saw that injury, and then I
Speaker 2: was kind of freaking out. But you know, hopefully he's
Speaker 2: back this week and it's not going to be an
Speaker 2: issue going forward. But you know, I mean they haven't
Speaker 2: had much luck in the passing game there in Jacksonville,
Speaker 2: so you know, I think they are going to have
Speaker 2: to keep cleaning on their their running backs. So I
Speaker 2: like Tuton. Hopefully he is back, Hopefully that ankle is
Speaker 2: is going to be okay for Sunday. But yeah, I mean,
Speaker 2: and and you're right, I mean we are still starting
Speaker 2: etn if if that's the choice, if they're both back
Speaker 2: there and they're both healthy. But men, tutin Is, if
Speaker 2: you got what week was he getting picked up off
Speaker 2: waivers Balky, do you remember?
Speaker 1: Oh, it's a good question that that would.
Speaker 2: Mean that that's kind of what I want to go
Speaker 2: back to, because that's that's where you're gonna see. I
Speaker 2: mean if he if he ends up staying healthy, there's
Speaker 2: maybe there's some things going on with with ETN that
Speaker 2: can I limit his production a little bit. I think
Speaker 2: he he would be a top candidate for a league
Speaker 2: winner if somebody you grabbed off flavors.
Speaker 1: So uh and and we're also getting Joe King pointing
Speaker 1: this out. Remember Brian Thomas Junior, who I do believe
Speaker 1: logged in a limited practice yesterday back this week as well.
Speaker 2: No one's remembering Brian Thomas Jr.
Speaker 1: Oh I remember him. I definitely remember him because I
Speaker 1: got burned. Yes, you know what's funny is one of
Speaker 1: my Kentucky dynasties. I won the league last year, Stacey,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, god, this is amazing. Look at this
Speaker 1: team and it's a really good team. And it was
Speaker 1: highlighted by I got Molik Neighbors and Brian Thomas, I
Speaker 1: two first round picks highlight So I'm like love and
Speaker 1: life coming into the season, I'm not anymore with that team.
Speaker 1: And that team went from first place and it did
Speaker 1: not make the playoffs this year, which it like it
Speaker 1: humbles you fantasy football does. For sure.
Speaker 2: I'm in the same I don't know how many teams were.
Speaker 2: I was in the later part of the draft and
Speaker 2: I took Brian Thomas junior and that just haunting.
Speaker 1: You know what's sick about this is I was lamenting
Speaker 1: having all these top three picks in Kentucky this year,
Speaker 1: Like God, I got so many freaking Jamar Chase teams
Speaker 1: and whatever, Am I ever gonna get a Malik Neighbors team?
Speaker 1: Am I ever going to get a Brian Thomas team, and,
Speaker 1: to a certain extent, a Nico Collins team. Well finally
Speaker 1: I started getting them, and you know what, those teams
Speaker 1: didn't turn out so great.
Speaker 2: Nope, nope. I'm not ready to talk about Nico either.
Speaker 2: I have I'm so overexposed on Nico Collins as it's
Speaker 2: working out now, it's okay, but you know, most of
Speaker 2: those teams are dead anyway at this point.
Speaker 1: So for more analysis on Nico Collins, stick around because
Speaker 1: Stacy's going to be talking about Collins, some of these
Speaker 1: other Texans wide receivers, and we'll talk about what's going
Speaker 1: on with Khalil Shakir and maybe more importantly, what the
Speaker 1: heck is going on with Keon Coleman. Our Thursday Night
Speaker 1: Football preview is up next here on FFPC Insider Access
Speaker 1: on the Better Sports Network. Stacey Perez Fantasy and Frames
Speaker 1: player profiler, Dynasty djens, I'm Eric Balkman. Stick around. We
Speaker 1: give you our Bills Texans preview right after.
Speaker 4: This, folks, let me talk to you about my favorite
Speaker 4: weekly platform to play on. You know, we all play Dynasty,
Speaker 4: and we all play Redraft, but we got to find
Speaker 4: someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC Weekly Challenge is
Speaker 4: my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of
Speaker 4: the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a
Speaker 4: draft to make a team, or even having to play
Speaker 4: against these people that are stacking up the same team,
Speaker 4: stacking up certain games, and you feel like you have
Speaker 4: to put in a million entries or or have to
Speaker 4: have those certain stacks to win, then come play over
Speaker 4: at FFPC. Really, the only main rule that you have
Speaker 4: to deal with is that you cannot select multiple players
Speaker 4: from the same team. I'm going out and I'm trying
Speaker 4: to find the best of the best of the best
Speaker 4: players and put them into a lineup, and that's what
Speaker 4: you can do over at my FFPC. You can go
Speaker 4: out and you can take the number one running back
Speaker 4: in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley.
Speaker 4: As long as they're not in the same team. You
Speaker 4: can put them all into a lineup right. And there's
Speaker 4: four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility.
Speaker 4: There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses,
Speaker 4: one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a
Speaker 4: bunch of different price points. You can play out thirty
Speaker 4: five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy
Speaker 4: in and you're going out and you're just picking the
Speaker 4: absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of
Speaker 4: a sleeper there's somebody that you think can really blow
Speaker 4: up that week. And that's how it works. It's one
Speaker 4: of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers,
Speaker 4: and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice.
Speaker 4: That is where the best high stakes games are. That's
Speaker 4: where the best experts play, and that's where I play
Speaker 4: because I want to be an FFPC champion and put
Speaker 4: that title on me, put the money in my pocket
Speaker 4: and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the
Speaker 4: FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place to play during
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 1: We want to remind you, as Andrew Cooper just did
Speaker 1: from Fantasy Alarm, that the FFPC Weekly Challenged Thursday version
Speaker 1: as well as the Sunday version version is still live
Speaker 1: for about another twenty minutes or so. There's no draft,
Speaker 1: there's no salary cap. You're just picking ten players or
Speaker 1: twelve players if you want to play with kickers and defenses,
Speaker 1: and then you just let them go. The only thing
Speaker 1: is you can't have the same player on the same team.
Speaker 1: If you want Josh Allen, you can't have James Cook.
Speaker 1: If you want Dalton Schultz, you can't have Nico Collins.
Speaker 1: You can win up to twenty five hundred dollars ten
Speaker 1: thirty and one hundred team contests available now my ffpc
Speaker 1: dot com That is m y ffpc dot com to
Speaker 1: play in the FFPC Weekly Challenge. This is the FFPC
Speaker 1: Insider Access show live on the Better Sports Network. Thanks
Speaker 1: so much for hanging out with us, downloading this, streaming
Speaker 1: it whatever. I don't know if ive ever made the
Speaker 1: formal announcement, but but three months or so ago, our
Speaker 1: wonderful producer Sean Engels started sending me the audio for
Speaker 1: these shows. So in case you're not a viewer and
Speaker 1: you like to consume your podcast and audio form, you
Speaker 1: can get this pretty much anywhere you get podcasts as well.
Speaker 1: That'll be up sometime tonight, so check that out in
Speaker 1: case you know you're watching this and you're like, god,
Speaker 1: I wish they had audio on this. Shout out to
Speaker 1: Mason Spain who kind of put that idea in my
Speaker 1: head a longtime FFPC and KFFSC player. So that is
Speaker 1: available now thanks to Mason Spain and some other people
Speaker 1: who had asked for it as well. Okay, Thursday Night Football,
Speaker 1: Miss Stacey Perez from Player Profiler, Fantasy and Frames and
Speaker 1: Dynasty d Jens. Let's talk about Josh Allen. He had
Speaker 1: a massive week last week at right about the point
Speaker 1: I think people were starting to regret utilizing a high
Speaker 1: pick on him. He throws for three touchdowns, He rushes
Speaker 1: for three touchdowns. When you look at his remaining schedule,
Speaker 1: when you look at what you know, quite frankly, maybe
Speaker 1: schedule doesn't make a difference with Josh Allen because of
Speaker 1: how talented he is. Is he about to go on
Speaker 1: a run? Is he about to do something that is
Speaker 1: going to cause us, once again to draft him high
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty six drafts because he's going to help
Speaker 1: us win a lot of cash down the stretch of
Speaker 1: the season. How do you look at Josh Allen not
Speaker 1: only tonight against Houston, but for the remainder of the
Speaker 1: twenty twenty five campaign.
Speaker 2: I think you're right, Like, I'm not looking at the
Speaker 2: schedule necessary, I'm looking at what month is it? Because
Speaker 2: in November and in December. Right now, Josh Allen's career
Speaker 2: has got twelve wins, four losses in November, and he
Speaker 2: averages about forty one point four rushing yards per game
Speaker 2: in November as well, And then if you move to December,
Speaker 2: he's got twenty one wins and nine losses there, and
Speaker 2: his performance tends to be a lot stronger in the
Speaker 2: in the later months of the year, and you know
Speaker 2: his rushing yards usually bump up from November to December.
Speaker 2: So that's what I'm looking at. So historically, that's kind
Speaker 2: of what he's done. I don't see any reason why
Speaker 2: that will change this year. So I am I am
Speaker 2: counting on him to go on a run. In a
Speaker 2: few of my leagues here, I'm hoping that history will
Speaker 2: repeat itself again. For him.
Speaker 1: You know, I looked at the schedule just now and
Speaker 1: again it's Josh Allen. It may not make a difference,
Speaker 1: but this tonight you get the Texans in Houston. You
Speaker 1: have to go on the road next week, but you're
Speaker 1: coming off the Mini by Pittsburgh, which granted has been
Speaker 1: playing better defense I would say over the last month
Speaker 1: or so. You get the Bengals at home. Yum, yum,
Speaker 1: gimme some that's gonna be great. But then you go
Speaker 1: to New England, you go to Cleveland and Philadelphia for
Speaker 1: the Championship Week's sprint. I don't know if that's great,
Speaker 1: but I also can tell you you probably don't have
Speaker 1: a better option, and you're still rolling Chalalen out there.
Speaker 1: James Cook is a player that I was down on
Speaker 1: this year, I think because of the contract situation, and
Speaker 1: I know, like I just go by history, and history
Speaker 1: says these guys who sit out and then try to
Speaker 1: come back and you know, get the full experience of
Speaker 1: training camp in this finite amount of time to try
Speaker 1: to get ready for the regular season oftentimes deal with
Speaker 1: some soft tissue injuries. Well that didn't happen with James Cook.
Speaker 1: He's been unbelievable for the for the majority of the season. Here,
Speaker 1: I will say this, if you look at what Cook
Speaker 1: has been able to do this season, He's just under
Speaker 1: a thousand yards rushing, which is pretty impressive considering we're
Speaker 1: not even the Thanksgiving yet. If you look at his
Speaker 1: game logs, part of the reason was he went back
Speaker 1: to back weeks two hundred and sixty rushing yards and
Speaker 1: then one hundred and fourteen rushing yards, failed to top
Speaker 1: sixty against Miami, failed to top fifty against Tampa. Is
Speaker 1: this going to change tonight against Houston a tough defense?
Speaker 1: And given how far we let him slip in high
Speaker 1: stakes drafts this year, Stacy, do you think that he
Speaker 1: has the potential or what's his level of league winnerhood?
Speaker 1: Like is it likely to happen? Not likely to happen.
Speaker 1: How do you look at James Cook tonight and for
Speaker 1: the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: So I like James Cook quite a bit actually, And
Speaker 2: if you take a look at like where did we
Speaker 2: draft him, Like I think he was going around like
Speaker 2: running back thirteen or so back, you know, during our seasons,
Speaker 2: you know, get you know, gearing up in our drafts
Speaker 2: and everything, and so right now, if you look at okay, here,
Speaker 2: what is his production He's I'm looking, I'm on Fantasy
Speaker 2: pros right now. He's putting up, let's see, eighteen point
Speaker 2: three points per game in PPR formats. So the only
Speaker 2: players that are out producing him at this point Jonathan Taylor, McCaffrey,
Speaker 2: Ah Chan, Robinson, and Gibbs. So for a player that
Speaker 2: you drafted as running back thirteen and now he is
Speaker 2: giving you this kind of production, to me, that that's
Speaker 2: kind of a league winner there because you you passed
Speaker 2: on some of those big names, right, you know, like
Speaker 2: a Derrick Henry or a Bucky Irving or something like that.
Speaker 2: Guys that we're going ahead of him for sure, and
Speaker 2: he has just completely outproduced them. So I like what
Speaker 2: James Cook is doing. I think a lot of people too,
Speaker 2: were down on him, are like, he's not going to
Speaker 2: have the same kind of you know, touchdown, you know
Speaker 2: production that he had last year. That's going to regress.
Speaker 2: You know, he's still he's still putting up great numbers.
Speaker 2: And you know, Josh Allen can't run it in every time, right,
Speaker 2: That's kind of what happened against the Bucks, right, Josh
Speaker 2: Allen just completely took over. I don't think Cook was
Speaker 2: necessarily needed in that game. So you know, I am,
Speaker 2: I am on board with James Cook being a league winner.
Speaker 2: I could absolutely see him. You know, there's a lot
Speaker 2: of teams out there. I'm sure probably that are going
Speaker 2: to walk away with some money because of James Cook.
Speaker 1: You know, he and you just pointed this out, Stacy.
Speaker 1: Joe King pointed this out on you. There was TD
Speaker 1: regression we thought coming for James Cook. Not saying that
Speaker 1: that's still not the case. But he scored sixteen rushing
Speaker 1: touchdowns last year. Through ten games this season, he's got seven.
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's not like he's he hasn't been
Speaker 1: getting into the end zone. I think that puts him
Speaker 1: on pace for about twelve touchdowns this year, which I mean,
Speaker 1: I'll take that for a touchdowns sixteen given the fact,
Speaker 1: and bear this in mind too. You know, all of
Speaker 1: twenty twenty four, dude had one thousand nine yards rushing.
Speaker 1: He only played in sixteen games. For what it's worth,
Speaker 1: he's already at nine to sixty eight, so he is,
Speaker 1: you know whatever, that is forty one yards rushing behind
Speaker 1: his full total from last year. Touchdown regression could happen
Speaker 1: for James Cook and he could still be a better
Speaker 1: player and put up better numbers in twenty twenty five
Speaker 1: than he did in twenty twenty four. Mister bakes a lot, Stacy.
Speaker 1: This is I'm throwing it to you because and if
Speaker 1: you don't have anything for it makes a lot gotten.
Speaker 1: I d P question, who do you guys feel will
Speaker 1: have more tackles Matt Mulano versus the Texans or Geno
Speaker 1: Stone versus the Patriots. I have no blanking idea. I
Speaker 1: don't play I d P. I did one time in
Speaker 1: the late nineties and I'm like, this is not for me,
Speaker 1: and I gave it up. I know there are great
Speaker 1: websites out there that you can check, Stacey. Could you
Speaker 1: recommend anybody that that might be able to answer this
Speaker 1: question on X so?
Speaker 2: Yeah, actually I can. I can recommend so at Fantasy
Speaker 2: and Frames, one of the things that we do a
Speaker 2: lot over there. Not me, but Horror Edwards is really
Speaker 2: big into IDP, and so he would be one that
Speaker 2: I would go check with and see what he thinks
Speaker 2: on that. I will tell you my particular strategy when
Speaker 2: it comes to IDP. I don't play a lot of it.
Speaker 2: I have one I DP league as our Fantasy and
Speaker 2: Frames group league. I go with with guys whose names
Speaker 2: I know, and Balky I'm a little embarrassed. I don't
Speaker 2: know who Genostone is, so I gotta go with Matt Milano.
Speaker 1: It sounds like a porn actor.
Speaker 2: He does it, really does.
Speaker 1: I do know Matt Milano, and I know he's been
Speaker 1: a really talented player for Buffalo for years. You can
Speaker 1: go to Fantasy and Frames dot Com at Fantasy and
Speaker 1: Frames and of course at Jorge B. Edwards on X
Speaker 1: and ask him right now and he will help you out.
Speaker 1: Mister bikes a lot more so than Stacy and I can.
Speaker 1: All right, let's go to Let's go back to oh
Speaker 1: Khalil Shakir. Let's talk about him. He didn't get any
Speaker 1: practices in this week because his wife and him had
Speaker 1: a kid. And I'll say this to John Hanson and
Speaker 1: Brett Whitefield from Fantasy Points we're talking about this. They
Speaker 1: believe he's playing hurt. They believe this ankle injury which
Speaker 1: I think he had early before the season started, which
Speaker 1: was a re injury of the same ankle problem that
Speaker 1: he had twenty twenty four they think it's limiting to him.
Speaker 1: He's got no burst, he's got no separation. His pet's
Speaker 1: heads are falling off. It's all bad things going on
Speaker 1: right now for Khalil Shakir. That said, Dalton Kinkaid's out tonight,
Speaker 1: which means if there is a you know, a got
Speaker 1: to have a guy on third down, a go to
Speaker 1: guy for Buffalo tonight in the passing game, it's got
Speaker 1: to be Shakir. And even with this stuff working against
Speaker 1: him no practice this week dealing with the ankle injury.
Speaker 1: Matthew Berry always says, as trust is a strong word,
Speaker 1: but whatever is the closest, the next closest thing down
Speaker 1: from trust, That's what I'm doing with Shakir. I only
Speaker 1: have in a couple of leagues. I'm playing them in
Speaker 1: both of them tonight. I feel okay about it, but
Speaker 1: not great about it. Here, What do you think what
Speaker 1: we're looking at with Shakir tonight with the red flags
Speaker 1: I mentioned, and also knowing that Houston's got a pretty good.
Speaker 2: Defense, they do have a great defense. So even if
Speaker 2: he was healthy and I don't know his situation, you know,
Speaker 2: with the injuries and stuff like that, but let's say
Speaker 2: that he is playing her even healthy. You're downgrading anybody
Speaker 2: going up against that Houston secondary. Whether they're Jamar chase Er, Khalleier, Shaker,
Speaker 2: doesn't matter. You're still going to downgrade them. Beloe little bit.
Speaker 2: So you know you've got that to kind of worry about.
Speaker 2: I if it's not Shakier, I don't know who it is,
Speaker 2: because we're certainly not going to go pick up Josh Palmer.
Speaker 2: And beyond that, you know, there's not too many other
Speaker 2: options there in their you know, in their passing games.
Speaker 2: So you know, Shakira, he's I think, I think you
Speaker 2: have to trust him here. You know, he's a veteran.
Speaker 2: You know he'll be out there. You know, he knows
Speaker 2: he's a professional football player. He knows how to get
Speaker 2: open play the game. So you know it's going to
Speaker 2: be a tough fight for him for sure. But you know,
Speaker 2: I still think you're you're probably in a situation where
Speaker 2: you probably do have to start him, but you know,
Speaker 2: lower lower those expectations a little bit.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm lowering my dynasty expectations for key On Coleman.
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter reported last week that Coleman missed a I
Speaker 1: should say reported this Sunday morning, but he missed the
Speaker 1: team meeting on Friday, and uh, the Bills made him
Speaker 1: a healthy and active against the Buccaneers this past week.
Speaker 1: They apparently wanted to in his normal role, but then
Speaker 1: they decided not to based on, you know, missing the
Speaker 1: team meeting. Now we I thought this is a one
Speaker 1: week thing, and then ESPN reported about an hour ago
Speaker 1: that Coleman was expected to be inactive again against the Texans.
Speaker 1: This is the third time that Coleman has missed a
Speaker 1: game in two years due to disciplinary issues. He was
Speaker 1: also held out against the Jaguars in twenty twenty four,
Speaker 1: just for the first quarter, and then the first offensive
Speaker 1: series this year against the Patriots in five. And what
Speaker 1: stinks is we just brought this up. This is a
Speaker 1: golden opportunity for him to shine. With hobbled Shakira out there,
Speaker 1: nobody else we can trust.
Speaker 2: I think oh gave Davis balky. They alblemated Gabe Davis
Speaker 2: from the practice squad.
Speaker 1: And we also have something called Tyrrell Shavers, yes as well.
Speaker 1: So I think that Coleman, like I wouldn't even trade
Speaker 1: for him a dynasty. It just makes no sense at
Speaker 1: this point. He's looking like a massive bust. Tonight, we
Speaker 1: mentioned our misgivings about fully trusting Khalil Shakir in our lineups,
Speaker 1: and when you consider Tyrrell Shavers gave Davis, Nicole Hardman,
Speaker 1: you mentioned Palmer, Curtis Samuel obviously out as well. I
Speaker 1: can't I can't find Yeah, I cannot find a good
Speaker 1: Uh you know, I guess the only player I would
Speaker 1: consider if I'm desperate and I'm missing wide receivers and
Speaker 1: running backs this week in a flex is Shavers based
Speaker 1: on the connection that him and Allen had last week.
Speaker 1: But I don't even trust that. I mean, it's just
Speaker 1: this is this is wild. And we've you know, as
Speaker 1: Packers fans, we hear this all the time. We heard
Speaker 1: it all the time with Aaron Rodgers. Why can't Green
Speaker 1: Bay get them weapons? But and now we're hearing in Buffalo,
Speaker 1: why can't Joe Shane, Uh not Joe Shane. Who's this?
Speaker 1: What's but Brandon Bean? Thank you Brandon Bean getting and
Speaker 1: to the point where he went off on our Good
Speaker 1: Buddy Mike Show radio station WGR fifty earlier this season,
Speaker 1: like we're putting up all these points or whatever. And
Speaker 1: I guess they tried to trade for Jalen Waddle, it
Speaker 1: didn't happen. This is this is this is bad news
Speaker 1: for Buffalo tonight against a pretty good Texans defense. To
Speaker 1: bring it back to my original question, is a Khalil
Speaker 1: Shakir Boston? And if you were to trust one of
Speaker 1: these other receivers and start them tonight, who would it be?
Speaker 2: Stacy So I, you know, Balgy, we have a lot
Speaker 2: of good friends of ours that are in upstate New
Speaker 2: York that play with us, you know, who are pretty
Speaker 2: dealed into their bills. And I got to talk with
Speaker 2: Louie g last week and he was like, you know what,
Speaker 2: this is not going to be the only week. This
Speaker 2: is not going to be the only week that he's
Speaker 2: a scratch. He goes, I even bet you that he
Speaker 2: might not even play for the Bills the rest of
Speaker 2: the season, and they were just like they're done with
Speaker 2: his act. It's just, you know, at this point, what
Speaker 2: are you doing? Like this is your job? Like you're
Speaker 2: you know, like you're playing full time for eighteen weeks,
Speaker 2: Like how are you missing meetings? Like you're not just late,
Speaker 2: you're missing meetings. That's insane to me. And then I
Speaker 2: also saw I'm so embarrassing in Sarah Sas on TikTok
Speaker 2: Today with Shannon Sharp and o Jo Sinko, and they
Speaker 2: were talking about this and they were just saying, you know,
Speaker 2: like Ojo Sinka was going off, They're like, look like
Speaker 2: this guy, there are certain players like Ceede Lamb, George Pickens. Right,
Speaker 2: they're gonna get held out for the first for the
Speaker 2: first drive when they mess up, right, because they're talented.
Speaker 2: And you know, they were like, hey on Coleman, you
Speaker 2: ain't talented enough to be doing this kind of you know, shenanigans.
Speaker 2: And they then they showed a clip of him following
Speaker 2: you know him, everybody's out on the field, he's in
Speaker 2: street clothes, he's dancing on the sidelines, yucking it up.
Speaker 2: This is clearly not somebody who understands the severity of
Speaker 2: what's going on here. So he's not taking it seriously
Speaker 2: to me. And then so that just kind of reinforced
Speaker 2: what Louis said is he may not play for them
Speaker 2: the rest of the season. And I wouldn't be surprised
Speaker 2: if that if that happens now that it's two weeks
Speaker 2: in a row. So back to your question, who are
Speaker 2: we trusting, right. I like Shavers And I did also
Speaker 2: kind of do the Snoop Dogg meme where it was
Speaker 2: like who after that touchdown last week? But you know,
Speaker 2: I went back and I looked at his usage all season,
Speaker 2: despite being a complete unknown to pretty much everybody, right, like,
Speaker 2: he's actually been really involved in their offense. His snap
Speaker 2: percentage is that a really decent amount. So I'm going
Speaker 2: to go Shavers here. It feels like he's been on
Speaker 2: the field. It seems like he's dialed into that offense.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe he's going to take advantage of the
Speaker 2: opportunity he's now being given because of Coleman not being
Speaker 2: in the line up there. And then also, god knows,
Speaker 2: Gabe Davis come on, like you know, at some point,
Speaker 2: you know they're gonna they're gonna end up give it
Speaker 2: get He's gonna get a long pass down the field,
Speaker 2: you know, go like eighty yards in a touchdown or
Speaker 2: something crazy, and and then the next we do nothing.
Speaker 2: But uh, but yeah, I think Shavers would probably be
Speaker 2: the one that I think kind of steps into this role.
Speaker 1: Two bold predictions that I don't I don't think are
Speaker 1: very bold. Gabe Davis will end the season with multiple
Speaker 1: three FO one hundred and thirty and two touchdown games
Speaker 1: and the other bold one. You know what's gonna happen
Speaker 1: with key On Coleman. Are our good friends in Dallas
Speaker 1: with Jerry with that, Jerry Judy Jerry Jones are going
Speaker 1: to let George Dickens. They're not going to franchise him,
Speaker 1: which Jerry Jones will give us a big word salad
Speaker 1: of why you don't proper to franchise George Pickens. Let
Speaker 1: him go to free agency. He will sign a massive contract.
Speaker 1: One of my buddies is saying it's gonna be with Tampa.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that, oh George Picks Yeah, okay Pickens.
Speaker 1: I'm saying Dallas lets him go and then to replace him,
Speaker 1: Jerry Jones trades a sixth round pick to Buffalo after
Speaker 1: the season is over for one key On Coleman, and
Speaker 1: that'll be Colman next to CD Lamb, which I mean
Speaker 1: you think Lamb and Pickens get into trouble in Vegas?
Speaker 1: What do you see Coleman? Right? All right, So so
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox, we have to talk about here tonight for
Speaker 1: f f PC Tight End Premium League. Stacy no Dalton Kincaid.
Speaker 1: Do you believe that that Knox is a decent play here?
Speaker 1: And then I'll bring this up as well, because I
Speaker 1: think he caught a touchdown last week. This uh, this
Speaker 1: this tight end for Buffalo and I'm the name is
Speaker 1: this gaping?
Speaker 2: I'm trying to Exson Hawes.
Speaker 1: Jackson Hawes, thank you. I want to call it Spencer
Speaker 1: Hawes after the old Sacramento Kings in the NBA. Exon
Speaker 1: Hawes catches the touchdown here, which maybe gums it up
Speaker 1: for Dawson Knox, but for people who are looking to
Speaker 1: start a tight end as their second flex in FFPC leagues,
Speaker 1: what do you think about Dawson Knox.
Speaker 2: So, you know, until the emergence of Jackson Hawes, like,
Speaker 2: I was definitely team Dawson Knox whenever key On Coleman,
Speaker 2: Oh my gosh, I'm gonna think of his name here.
Speaker 2: Whenever Dalton Kincaid is not on the field, right he
Speaker 2: you know, for the last few years has been a
Speaker 2: huge red zone target for Allen. So I was kind
Speaker 2: of like one of those let's throw at any time
Speaker 2: touchdown for Dawson Knox whenever Kinkaid misses a game. Now
Speaker 2: with Hawes there, it does kind of mess it up
Speaker 2: a little bit. So you kind of look at the
Speaker 2: last two, you know games here. You know that Kincaid's
Speaker 2: missed against Miami and Tampa, and he hasn't really done
Speaker 2: much even though he's been on the field a ton,
Speaker 2: So I don't necessarily love it. I think without Hawes there,
Speaker 2: I think he's an automatic start, especially in tight end
Speaker 2: premium without Kinkaid, But I don't know that I can.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I can kind of support that
Speaker 2: with Hawes in the mix right now.
Speaker 1: You know the fact that he was involved last week
Speaker 1: and the fact that this is a tougher defense tonight.
Speaker 1: I think like that those are two things that have
Speaker 1: me breaking ties against Austin Knox Knight, so I'm staying
Speaker 1: away from him. Tom Smith has an andre Yoshibash question.
Speaker 1: We're going to get to that driver ten thirty six
Speaker 1: on Twitch. I will get to the Jayden Reid discussion
Speaker 1: here in a little bit as well, because I think
Speaker 1: it's important to bring up. Before we get to that,
Speaker 1: I want to talk about the Texans briefly. What he
Speaker 1: marks must start though, did that descriptor fit Marx tonight
Speaker 1: against the Bills in a game where he should be
Speaker 1: out there catching passes from Davis Mills, in a game
Speaker 1: that you know Houston should be playing from behind most
Speaker 1: of the game. I wonder how close he is to
Speaker 1: must start this week, Stacey.
Speaker 2: For me, he's a must start for sure. I mean,
Speaker 2: you know, it's a great matchup there against the Bills,
Speaker 2: and I think they're giving up about the second most, yeah,
Speaker 2: second most fantasy points per game to opposing team's running backs.
Speaker 2: I remember what Devin Han did to them, So you know,
Speaker 2: it's not like there's really anybody else back there. You know,
Speaker 2: they came out and said Mixon isn't going to be
Speaker 2: playing for the rest of the season. That's not really
Speaker 2: a big surprise. And Nick Chubb's just a shell of himself.
Speaker 2: So and then they released Amian Pierce today. I saw
Speaker 2: that news earlier this afternoon, and so you know, it's
Speaker 2: Woody marks his game. You know, it's his backfield right now.
Speaker 2: And so you know, volume alone I think makes him
Speaker 2: a must start tonight, especially with that great matchup against
Speaker 2: the Bills.
Speaker 1: Are we seeing one rookie receiver aut Iowa State starting
Speaker 1: to turn it on for Houston? That's Jayden Higgins two
Speaker 1: for thirty two, one for twenty eight, one for five,
Speaker 1: one for twenty four, four for thirty two, all bagel,
Speaker 1: four for thirty four and then one for four. That
Speaker 1: was his first nine weeks as a pro in the NFL.
Speaker 1: Last two weeks against Jacksonville, five catches forty two yards
Speaker 1: on the touchdown. This past week four catches for fifty
Speaker 1: five yards and a touchdown. He has seen seven or
Speaker 1: more targets three times this season, two of those times
Speaker 1: coming within the last two weeks. What do you envision
Speaker 1: for Higgins tonight with Davis Mills throwing to him against
Speaker 1: the Buffalo defense that you usually beat on the ground
Speaker 1: rather through the air. And then your viewpoint on Higgins
Speaker 1: whether he's going to be a fantasy viable guy down
Speaker 1: the stretch.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I like him. Rest of season is a flex option.
Speaker 2: I mean you kind of have to remember too, Like, right,
Speaker 2: these rookie wide receivers, you know, when they come in,
Speaker 2: it takes them a little while to get acclimated to
Speaker 2: the league. So right off the bat, you know, I
Speaker 2: mean a Mecha Abuka down here in Tampa is a
Speaker 2: little bit of a different story, right, But most of
Speaker 2: these guys are going to take a few games, you know,
Speaker 2: first half of the season here to really kind of
Speaker 2: gel with their offense and their quarterback kind of earn them.
Speaker 2: They're way more you know, onto the field. And that's
Speaker 2: really what Higgins has done. And if you take a
Speaker 2: look at the last two games, his target share has
Speaker 2: gone up too, well, not two games, sorry, a three
Speaker 2: games target share is increased by two points. Snap percentage
Speaker 2: every week for the last three weeks has just consistently
Speaker 2: gone up. In the meantime, you've also see seen Christian
Speaker 2: Kirk's numbers start sliding down, and so that to me
Speaker 2: kind of signals, all right, you know, we've got Higgins.
Speaker 2: He's he's kind of taking that next step forward here
Speaker 2: where he's going to start taking, you know, eating into
Speaker 2: that role, that wide receiver two role that you know
Speaker 2: Kirk has kind of you know, kind of held on
Speaker 2: to a little bit throughout through the season. But I
Speaker 2: think he's more cementing himself as that consistent option there
Speaker 2: for Mills or Stroud or whoever is going to be
Speaker 2: under center.
Speaker 1: I think we have to bring up Dalton Schultz here
Speaker 1: as they are getting kicked out, they're kicking off here
Speaker 1: in Houston right now, Dalton Schultz. Looking at his stats
Speaker 1: this year, it's pretty crazy to see what he's been
Speaker 1: able to do three twenty eight, three for twenty nine
Speaker 1: in his first two weeks. And then you look at
Speaker 1: this again, tight end premium scoring five for thirty nine,
Speaker 1: five for thirty five for sixty nine for ninety eight,
Speaker 1: two for twenty four, six for seventy seven, seven for
Speaker 1: fifty three, six for fifty one. I think that and
Speaker 1: Farrell was kind of in my year as he has
Speaker 1: been the last couple of years against Dalton Schultz. Because
Speaker 1: I should have Dalton Schultz. I could have picked him
Speaker 1: up easily literally number two tight end in just in
Speaker 1: any league this year, Stacy, and he would have been
Speaker 1: playable as my starter in several weeks this year. I
Speaker 1: envision this is going to continue, not only against Buffalo tonight,
Speaker 1: but against Indy, against Kansas City, Arizona, Las Vegas. Some
Speaker 1: good matchups here coming up for Dalton Schultz.
Speaker 2: Let me redeem our family reputation here with Dalton Schultz. Okay,
Speaker 2: because I've been a big Dalton Schultz fan. Definitely, he's
Speaker 2: top fifteen in the tight end position, averaging that throughout
Speaker 2: the season. Over the last three games, and this is
Speaker 2: just in PPR, I don't have the tight end premium points.
Speaker 2: He's averaging like fourteen point three points per game. His
Speaker 2: target share on the season was eighteen point eight over
Speaker 2: the last three games. Specifically, it just jumped up to
Speaker 2: twenty two point two percent, second highest on the team
Speaker 2: behind Nico Collins. I know I mentioned about Higgins kind
Speaker 2: of trying to get into that second wide receiver role.
Speaker 2: He might be the second wide receiver, but Daldon Schultz
Speaker 2: is the second option behind Nico Collins one and I
Speaker 2: just looked over at the screen. I had to like,
Speaker 2: you know, I needed like some sunglasses for a second
Speaker 2: over those bright red uniforms the Texans are wearing right now.
Speaker 2: But yeah, big big Schultz fan, you know a guy
Speaker 2: that you could have snatched off waivers who is consistently
Speaker 2: putting up good point I mean tight end position. It
Speaker 2: is what it is, right, You're going to have those
Speaker 2: top few guys that really produce and the rest of
Speaker 2: them are going to be kind of mid. But Schultz
Speaker 2: has been somebody who is broken out of that despite
Speaker 2: being on an iffy offense with the Texans. So He's
Speaker 2: somebody that I'm not gonna call him a league winner,
Speaker 2: but somebody that if you grabbed him on waivers, you're
Speaker 2: definitely you won that, you know, like you whatever you
Speaker 2: paid for him was worth.
Speaker 1: It's what's great about this too, is he's doing it
Speaker 1: with a healthy Nico Collins and with Jade Higgins coming on,
Speaker 1: and he's still doing numbers right that that's another reason
Speaker 1: to like him. They are underway in Houston. It is
Speaker 1: the Bills kicking off to the Texans incomplete past Cad Stover,
Speaker 1: a Woody marks Kerry for six yards, and then on
Speaker 1: third down, a pass deep down the right sideline to
Speaker 1: Jayden and Higgins falls incomplete. They have punted, have the
Speaker 1: Texans and the Bills take over after a holding penalty
Speaker 1: on the punt. They take over at their own twenty nine,
Speaker 1: and the Bills immediately give it to James Cook for
Speaker 1: four yards second and six from their own twenty three,
Speaker 1: thirteen to fifty five to go in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: We will continue our coverage on that as we complete
Speaker 1: our Thursday night preview on this. Okay, I have to
Speaker 1: get into some of the questions that popped up during this.
Speaker 1: Tom Smith wants to know Andre Yoshivash Yoshabash. I don't
Speaker 1: know how to pronounce Yoshi.
Speaker 2: Team calls him Yoshi.
Speaker 1: The team calls him Yoshi. He has a super long tongue,
Speaker 1: that he captures the fruit off the trees, and that
Speaker 1: maybe a dated reference. You know what's funny. The old
Speaker 1: people and the young people might not have gotten that reference. Stacy,
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: Is a family show?
Speaker 1: Well, no, no, because but Yoshi is could be the
Speaker 1: number two receiver, could be the number gass catcher for
Speaker 1: the Bengals this week in a game of featuring Joe Burrow.
Speaker 1: So I would say, even if it's Joe Flacco, I
Speaker 1: think he is flexworthy. I would give him some flex
Speaker 1: appeal on this. And if it's Burrow tossing the rock
Speaker 1: around against New England this week, I think you're talking
Speaker 1: about a borderline top thirty wide receiver. That's how I feel.
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about it.
Speaker 2: Oh, yeah, you are not going to find a bigger
Speaker 2: fan of Yoshi than me. You know a pentathlete out
Speaker 2: of Princeton.
Speaker 1: I believe it was a pentathlete.
Speaker 2: Wow athlete? Yeah? Absolutely, I think Yoshi's Yo. She's great
Speaker 2: he has been. He's flashed when he's had to fill
Speaker 2: in for either Higgins or Chase or whoever has been out. Right,
Speaker 2: if those guys are on the field, right, he's not
Speaker 2: really relevant, right, But when they're out, when somebody's missing,
Speaker 2: he has more than more more than adequately stepped into
Speaker 2: that role, you know. And so I think, let's see,
Speaker 2: I'm looking at his target share, you know, normally around like,
Speaker 2: let's see, what was it. It's not not great. It's
Speaker 2: like nine you zero point four percent something like that.
Speaker 2: The last couple of games it's ticked up a little bit.
Speaker 2: I don't have an issue with either Flacca or Burrow
Speaker 2: being back there. You're missing Chase, you know, their biggest target. Right,
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a huge vacuum there. And I think
Speaker 2: Yoshi sets up with a great matchup here. You know,
Speaker 2: the New England secondary is going to be focused on
Speaker 2: Higgins and shutting him down. So I think that just
Speaker 2: opens things up a lot for Yeshivas and I am
Speaker 2: all I picked him up in a couple places. I
Speaker 2: think you could definitely start him this week.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm I'm down a few wide receivers in some
Speaker 1: leagues this week I picked I picked him up as well,
Speaker 1: I planed. You know, it's one of those things I
Speaker 1: think I overpaid for him, given that I think it
Speaker 1: might only be a one week thing, because yeah, so
Speaker 1: I get it, but you know I think double digit points. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well within the realm of poster sure, maybe even more
Speaker 1: than that. Okay, So then we have driver ten thirty
Speaker 1: six chiming in on Twitch. Hey, you all are Packers fans,
Speaker 1: what's the deal with Jayden Reid? Now the latest I
Speaker 1: have on this. I was talking with Justice Mesquada from
Speaker 1: ACME Packing Company on one of my shows this morning,
Speaker 1: and he made it sound like the Packers do not
Speaker 1: want to start Marshaun Lloyd or Jaden Reid. And we'll
Speaker 1: get into Lloyd here in a little bit, but they
Speaker 1: don't want to start them like opening their practice window
Speaker 1: in the middle of the week. And they have not
Speaker 1: opened up the practice window for either guy yet. So
Speaker 1: my guess is that gets opened after the Vikings game
Speaker 1: next week, you know, obviously leading into that into that
Speaker 1: Lions Thanksgiving showdown in the afternoon. So I listen, I
Speaker 1: have so much I feel like I picked up Jayden Reid,
Speaker 1: and like I pick him up in like two different
Speaker 1: leagues every single week. So I have so much Jayden
Speaker 1: read that I picked up off the waiver wire right now.
Speaker 1: Not that I necessarily love that because I know how
Speaker 1: much the Packers spread the ball around, but if I
Speaker 1: get them for a buck or two off the waiver wire,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do that. So I have a lot of
Speaker 1: Jade Reid. I'm excited what to what he can do,
Speaker 1: to see what he can do down the stretch they see,
Speaker 1: And maybe more excitement exists because I feel like he
Speaker 1: and Tucker Craft are more duplication of skills a little
Speaker 1: bit in that offense rather than complimentary players. And so
Speaker 1: what you lack in Tucker Craft, maybe Jayden Reid picks
Speaker 1: up the slack a little bit there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think we're right on the same page. Ball
Speaker 2: g Like I was just thinking that. I was like,
Speaker 2: you know, there's there's so many things that they do
Speaker 2: that are very similar in their skill sets and things
Speaker 2: like that. And so I also have been just hanging
Speaker 2: on to Jane Reid anywhere. If I was playing and
Speaker 2: I had an IR spot, he was going in it
Speaker 2: and I was just hanging on to him, and I
Speaker 2: heard a lot of the same things this week that
Speaker 2: you know, like he's he's getting close to coming back.
Speaker 2: You know, we should have him for the fantasy playoffs
Speaker 2: hopefully so. And I saw the same notice about them
Speaker 2: not wanting to open their windows in the middle of
Speaker 2: the week. So those are all kind of like good
Speaker 2: signs to me that you know they're going to be
Speaker 2: back in the next They're going to be back soon.
Speaker 2: So I hang on to them, don't drop them. Go
Speaker 2: check your waiver wires for people that did drop them
Speaker 2: and give up. I think we talked about Read briefly
Speaker 2: on the Waiver Show earlier this week. I want to say,
Speaker 2: he's only something like twenty percent roster and something like that,
Speaker 2: crazy across league. So he's out there, he's available, and
Speaker 2: he's going to be He's going to be a huge
Speaker 2: contributor for the Packers as soon as he gets back.
Speaker 5: Giving an update on the game here tonight, we had
Speaker 5: a I mentioned the James Cook four yard run, Dawson
Speaker 5: Knox incomplete pass, Khalil Shakir catches a five yard pass,
Speaker 5: Josh Allen gets a quarterback sneak up the middle to
Speaker 5: pick up the first down on fourth and one, no
Speaker 5: gain from James Cook.
Speaker 1: Then a pass completion to James Cook for two yards.
Speaker 1: Ty Johnson picks up another Buffalo Bill's first down with
Speaker 1: a thirteen yard catch. On third down. Bill's still in
Speaker 1: their own territory, first and ten from their own forty six,
Speaker 1: ten oh six to go in the first quarter. I
Speaker 1: have to bring up Darnel Washington here, which I think
Speaker 1: is exciting from a lot of different levels. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw, and I can't remember what
Speaker 1: it's called, but to Monro Saint Brown and his brother
Speaker 1: I believe.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah they do.
Speaker 1: Donald Washington was on this podcast and I was flabbergasted
Speaker 1: by this. He's six foot seven. Now did you see this, Stacy?
Speaker 2: I did. I actually I subscribed.
Speaker 1: To the Okay, so there you go. So there you go.
Speaker 2: It's like it's like the Brown Brothers.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know. But what's it called. It's there's I
Speaker 1: think that's it.
Speaker 2: That's how I found it was the same, it's something else.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like called like undeclared or undaunted or much.
Speaker 2: I paid attention a whole lot.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna find this here. Maybe it is just called
Speaker 1: the Saint Brown Podcast. Yeah, I think it is. It's
Speaker 1: just you're right, it's a Saint Brown podcast. I'm thinking
Speaker 1: of some other probably something by the other.
Speaker 2: Name sounds way better, honestly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, I mean listen, it's it's it's their name.
Speaker 1: It's better for the Google search engine for SEO, so
Speaker 1: I get it. So Donald Washington was their guest on
Speaker 1: this six foot seven and apparently this dude currently weighs
Speaker 1: three hundred and eleven pounds and he's moving like with
Speaker 1: the dexterity of a four foot, one hundred pound nothing gymnast.
Speaker 1: Right now, this is insane of how good this guy is.
Speaker 1: If you had to own a Steelers tight end right now,
Speaker 1: your your love affair with Darnel Washington's production aside? Is
Speaker 1: it Washington? Is it Friar Mooth? I mean there's John
Speaker 1: new Smith is there as well. I feel like it's
Speaker 1: weird because it's an Arthur Smith offense. So I feel
Speaker 1: like I should want to have one of these tight
Speaker 1: ends on my roster to deploy in a pinch. But
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could decide on one. Maybe
Speaker 1: Washington just decided on it for me.
Speaker 2: Okay. Also incredible stat about Darnel Washington. Also Balky do
Speaker 2: you want to know how big his hands are?
Speaker 1: Sure? Go ahead, eleven is.
Speaker 2: The size of a piece of paper. His hands like
Speaker 2: the size of a just think of a piece which
Speaker 2: I've never dropped, never, never. He's been doing this since
Speaker 2: he was at Georgia. Okay, he's just been stuck. You know,
Speaker 2: we needed Arthur Smith to come liberate Darnel Washington, which
Speaker 2: I never thought that I would ever say that about
Speaker 2: Arthur Smith. But he is the best thing that has
Speaker 2: happened to Darneld Washington. And you know who else is
Speaker 2: the second best thing is our boy, Aaron Rodgers, because
Speaker 2: he loves him some Darnell Washington. He has had multiple
Speaker 2: Fantasy relevant games right now. I'm looking at two against
Speaker 2: Cleveland Cincinnati. He put up nine points, ten points here
Speaker 2: against the other game against Cincinnati, he's getting in the
Speaker 2: end zone. You just you have to love that from
Speaker 2: a man that size. Oh my gosh, I'm picking one
Speaker 2: tight end from the Steelers. I think I gotta go
Speaker 2: Patti Fryes right realistically, but do I have Darneld Washington
Speaker 2: stashed away in a couple of leagues? Yes, I do, Yes,
Speaker 2: I do. And also to can I just say, can
Speaker 2: we just that I've watched that clip of that thirty
Speaker 2: yard run where he just just throwing the Bengals left
Speaker 2: and right. You know, I've watched it probably a hundred times,
Speaker 2: and I just I cannot get enough of it. It
Speaker 2: just makes my day every time I see it. Just
Speaker 2: just put and the last one I forgot who it was,
Speaker 2: but the Steelers guy that were like running kind of
Speaker 2: like diagonal towards him, and the Steelers guy pushes the
Speaker 2: guy in front of Darnell and he just like just
Speaker 2: tosses him off to the side, and it just it
Speaker 2: just brings me so much joy. I just just enjoy
Speaker 2: that that clip so much.
Speaker 1: If you're ever having a bad day, just queue up
Speaker 1: that clip on YouTube or x or whatever TikTok and
Speaker 1: you'll be having a better day after that. I'll say
Speaker 1: he was having a good day. James Cook, who is
Speaker 1: now over a thousand rushing yards on the season, we
Speaker 1: just talked about this stacy. He was close After a
Speaker 1: Dawson Knox catch for nine yards and a Josh Palmer incompletion,
Speaker 1: James Cook rumbles right tackle for forty five yards, scoring
Speaker 1: a touchdown. Six nothing bills because Matt Prater missed the
Speaker 1: extra point wide left nine to eleven ago in the
Speaker 1: first quarter six years Buffalo as Yeah, and now I
Speaker 1: got to check to see how many trader in this week,
Speaker 1: which is hopefully too many.
Speaker 2: Is how many?
Speaker 1: I haven't man apparently, Yeah, Texans are about to get
Speaker 1: the ball back. We'll see what happens there. We briefly
Speaker 1: touched on Marshawn Lloyd. I want to ask you this too.
Speaker 1: Rob Demowski had a report I think this came out
Speaker 1: Wednesday that Lloyd was is making good progress in his rehab.
Speaker 1: I want to say it was Demovsky last week who
Speaker 1: maybe it was Matt Schneidman from the Athletic but talked
Speaker 1: about both Lloyd and Reid. Since they're still on injured reserve,
Speaker 1: they can't work out with the team, but they were
Speaker 1: working up both really good sweats, the hardest Schneidman has
Speaker 1: seen them work out this whole offseason, and that was
Speaker 1: last week. Right. The fact that that Lloyd and Reid
Speaker 1: are this close, that are working out this hard, means
Speaker 1: that they're this close to being activated. The question for
Speaker 1: Lloyd here is what kind of a backfield is he
Speaker 1: coming back into. Josh Jacobs said, worst case scenario he
Speaker 1: misses the Vikings game, well, that means you're playing against
Speaker 1: Detroit on Thursday. And again we're taking the injury analysis
Speaker 1: from the player, which I know normally don't like to do.
Speaker 1: But Matt Lafleur has refused to rule out Josh Jacobs
Speaker 1: yet this week. So let's say Lloyd gets his practice
Speaker 1: window opened up next week. Let's say he's active for
Speaker 1: the Lions game. Emmanuel Wilson's looked really good, I think
Speaker 1: for what Chris Brooks does for this backfield in the
Speaker 1: limited amount of stamps that he's in, but what he's
Speaker 1: asked to do, whether it be past block or catch
Speaker 1: a pass or pick up a few yards, he's been
Speaker 1: very good as well. I don't know how Marshawn Lloyd
Speaker 1: figures into this. I have him on IR in a
Speaker 1: couple of Dynasty leagues and I'm wondering when he gets
Speaker 1: back if I have to activate, and I'm like, god,
Speaker 1: I don't know how relevant he's going to be in
Speaker 1: this Packers backfield.
Speaker 2: To quote Michael Scott as it relates to Marshall Lloyd,
Speaker 2: I'm ready to be hurt again. I have had so
Speaker 2: much hope for Marshall Lloyd for so long, and it
Speaker 2: just felt like every time, you know, you just oh,
Speaker 2: we just got so close to some relevancy and he
Speaker 2: would get hurt again. I had, I actually had to,
Speaker 2: I had to dump him in and Dynesty League. I
Speaker 2: just had. I had so many injuries elsewhere that I
Speaker 2: just didn't have a choice. So I think you make
Speaker 2: a great point though about Wilson and Brooks, and they've
Speaker 2: looked really good. So I don't know that he would
Speaker 2: be fantasy relevant unless you know, God forbid something tragic happened.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I really wouldn't count on him this season.
Speaker 2: I maybe I want to see what he's got a
Speaker 2: little bit, you know, just going forward, maybe for next
Speaker 2: year for some dynasty purposes. But I don't think I'm
Speaker 2: going to rely on him at all, And I don't
Speaker 2: I don't even know that it's worth like a deeply
Speaker 2: dart throw waiver ad at this point.
Speaker 1: He has missed so much time in his career at
Speaker 1: the professional level. Really difficult for us to sell or
Speaker 1: really difficult for me to sell Marshall Lloyd to anybody
Speaker 1: at this point, which is it's not great. He definitely
Speaker 1: will not be a player that you pick up in
Speaker 1: the FFPC Weekly Challenge this week. However, that doesn't mean
Speaker 1: you can't pick up a packer. What it does mean
Speaker 1: is you can't pick up two packers. If you want
Speaker 1: Jordan Love on your team, you cannot have Emmanuel Wilson.
Speaker 1: If you want Austin Jefferson on your team, you cannot
Speaker 1: have Aaron Jones. It's one of the things that makes
Speaker 1: the f FPC Weekly Challenge so much fun. The Thursday
Speaker 1: challenges closed, the Sunday one is still open. No draft,
Speaker 1: no salary cap. Just pick whatever ten players or twelve
Speaker 1: players you want if you want to play with kickers
Speaker 1: and defenses and let them ride throughout the weekend. Again,
Speaker 1: just one player per team. You can play in ten
Speaker 1: thirty one hundred team contest went up to twenty five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars. Register now my f FPC dot com. That's
Speaker 1: m y FFPC dot com. Going to a break in
Speaker 1: the action here on Amazon Prime as we wait for
Speaker 1: the Texans to get the ball back, we will also
Speaker 1: take a quick break in the action. We are gonna
Speaker 1: do some starter sits when we come back. We're gonna
Speaker 1: talk about ty J. Spears, We're gonna talk about DJ Moore,
Speaker 1: Taysom Hill we will talk about as well as Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: Stacey Perez, Fantasy and Frames player profiler and Dynasty d
Speaker 1: Jens joins me on the f FPC Insider Access show.
Speaker 1: Your start Sick questions answered right after this on the
Speaker 1: Better Sports Network.
Speaker 4: Folks, let me talk to you about my favorite weekly
Speaker 4: platform to play on. You know, we all play Dynasty,
Speaker 4: and we all play Redraft, but we've got to find
Speaker 4: someplace to play weekly, and the FFPC Weekly Challenge is
Speaker 4: my favorite. If you're like me and you're tired of
Speaker 4: the constraints of salary caps, or having to do a
Speaker 4: draft to make a team, or even having to play
Speaker 4: against these people that are stacking up the same team,
Speaker 4: stacking up certain games and you feel like you have
Speaker 4: to put in a million entries or or have to
Speaker 4: have those certain stacks to win, then come play over
Speaker 4: at f FPC. Really, the only main rule that you
Speaker 4: have to deal with is that you cannot select multiple
Speaker 4: players from the same team. I'm going out and I'm
Speaker 4: trying to find the best of the best of the
Speaker 4: best players and put them into a lineup, and that's
Speaker 4: what you can do over at my FFPC. You can
Speaker 4: go out and you can take the number one running
Speaker 4: back in Bjon Robinson, and you can also have sakuon Barkley.
Speaker 4: As long as they're not in the same team, you
Speaker 4: can put them all into a lineup right. And there's
Speaker 4: four flexes for this, so there's a lot of flexibility.
Speaker 4: There's two different contests, one that has kickers and defenses,
Speaker 4: one that's just positioned players. Then you also have a
Speaker 4: bunch of different price boys. You can play at thirty
Speaker 4: five dollars, one hundred dollars or two hundred dollars buy
Speaker 4: in and you're going out and you're just picking the
Speaker 4: absolute chalk plays, maybe sneaking in a little bit of
Speaker 4: a sleeper. There's somebody that you think can really blow
Speaker 4: up that week. And that's how it works. It's one
Speaker 4: of the best contests out there for the sharpest gamers,
Speaker 4: and when you win on the FFPC, people take notice.
Speaker 4: That is where the best high stakes games are. That's
Speaker 4: where the best experts play, and that's where I play
Speaker 4: because I want to be an FFPC champion and put
Speaker 4: that title on me, put the money in my pocket
Speaker 4: and put that in my bio FFPC Champion and the
Speaker 4: FFPC Weekly Contest is the best place of play during
Speaker 4: the season.
Speaker 1: FFPC Insider Access rolls on here live tonight on the
Speaker 1: Better Sports Network. I'm Eric Balkman. She's Stacey Perez from
Speaker 1: Fantasy and Frames player profiler and Dynasty d Jens. We
Speaker 1: are hanging out watching a little Thursday Night foot ball
Speaker 1: with you tonight. Big return after that touchdown by a Buffalo,
Speaker 1: Jalen Nol gets the ball out to the forty one
Speaker 1: yard line, and then we see Nick Chubb for seven
Speaker 1: yards for five yards, and then Jayden Higgins catches a
Speaker 1: ten yard pass, an incomplete pass to Dalton Schultz, and
Speaker 1: then Woody Marx gets in the box score with a
Speaker 1: twelve yard game and then a nineteen yard game. So
Speaker 1: right now the Texans are threatening. They have the ball
Speaker 1: first in goal from the Buffalo six marks three carries
Speaker 1: for thirty seven yards. Looking pretty good so far. I
Speaker 1: might have a Texans touchdown to report to you here
Speaker 1: in a minute. Let's get into some starter sits here tonight, Stacey,
Speaker 1: and we'll lead off with running backs as we usually
Speaker 1: do on this show. You can only start one of
Speaker 1: these players, is it going to be one? DeAndre Swift
Speaker 1: this week, who is going to be at home against
Speaker 1: the Pittsburgh Steelers, Or would you rather play Kenneth Walker,
Speaker 1: who is at Tennessee in a Golden matchup?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think I have to go with Walker this week.
Speaker 2: I think overall, Swift has been more productive this season,
Speaker 2: but the Steelers are giving up so many points to
Speaker 2: the wide receiver position. I just can't help but think
Speaker 2: that Ben Jonson's sitting back there, like scheming all sorts
Speaker 2: of ways to get Roma Dunes the ball, Luther Burden.
Speaker 2: I mean, maybe they'll go crazy, even get Dj Moore
Speaker 2: a couple passes, who knows, you know, So I think
Speaker 2: it's going to be a pass heavy game for them.
Speaker 2: So that's why I think the game script is a
Speaker 2: little bit better for Ken Walker this week.
Speaker 1: And you know, he's been turning it on as far
Speaker 1: as like I don't want to say, distancing himself from
Speaker 1: Zach Charbona, but but you know, we were complaining, at
Speaker 1: least I was complaining a lot of the year that
Speaker 1: Charboney was getting all these touches or whatever, And it
Speaker 1: just seems like over the course of the last two
Speaker 1: or three weeks, Walker's getting a little bit more and
Speaker 1: a little bit more so maybe maybe that's the case.
Speaker 1: This week, we'll see what happens with Kenneth Walker. I'm
Speaker 1: with you. I I have a slight lean to Walker
Speaker 1: over Swift this week, just because of the Kyle Manungai
Speaker 1: factor as well the latest we have And I can't
Speaker 1: believe we didn't. I didn't bring this up. This is
Speaker 1: a This is my fault that we didn't talk about
Speaker 1: the Isaiah p Echorey status. He ends up getting a
Speaker 1: was it a full practice or limited practice yesterday? Limited
Speaker 1: practice today? Which is which is the biggest thing, and
Speaker 1: apparently wearing a massive brace on it. This is the Colts.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine. I can't imagine that he'd be out there.
Speaker 1: I don't think he would be Which makes Kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: a little bit more viable this week, Stacy kareem Hunt
Speaker 1: against the Colts or a guy coming off an ankle
Speaker 1: injury himself. Jalen Warren who is at the Bears this week.
Speaker 1: Jalen Warren did return to practice today.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, I don't really love either one of these.
Speaker 2: But you know, you're you're probably having this, You're probably
Speaker 2: having this question in your leagues, right now I think
Speaker 2: I have to go Warren. I think for me, Courent,
Speaker 2: that's I just combined his name. Kareem Hunt is a
Speaker 2: little too touchdown dependent. In games where he's not getting
Speaker 2: in the end zone. There's five of those this season,
Speaker 2: He's only averaged four point one, yeah, four point one
Speaker 2: eight Fantasy points and that's in a PPR format, So
Speaker 2: that's really ugly. So you're just hoping that he is
Speaker 2: gonna like bully his weight into the touchdown into the
Speaker 2: end zone. So I don't love that I'd have to
Speaker 2: rely on that necessarily. And you can throw on the Colts,
Speaker 2: So I think that's really what Mahomes is going to
Speaker 2: be doing all day. It's just kind of like throwing
Speaker 2: the ball, you know. With them their run defense, as
Speaker 2: far as the Colts go, they're only giving up ninety
Speaker 2: two yards total, which is the fifth fewest overall in
Speaker 2: the league. So I think I'm like in Chicago a
Speaker 2: little bit more for Jayalen Warren, even though he is
Speaker 2: coming off that ankle injury. There Bears are allowing one
Speaker 2: hundred and thirty three rushing yards per game. I'm not
Speaker 2: even sure it's really even you know, gonna matter who's
Speaker 2: under center at the situation. I think we're leaning towards Rogers, right,
Speaker 2: I think Rogers is gonna play okay. I mean, and
Speaker 2: let's be real, even with a broken hand, he's still
Speaker 2: better than Mason Rudolph. So I'm not really sure that
Speaker 2: that really even makes a difference, but I think I'm
Speaker 2: definitely gonna have to leave towards Warren here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Rogers taken snaps from the first team offense. I
Speaker 1: believe both yesterday and today pretty much all in the
Speaker 1: gun hasn't gone under center at all, and it is
Speaker 1: his left wrist that has the fracture rather than his
Speaker 1: right one. So you know, and I understand we saw
Speaker 1: a big game from Kenth Gainwell last week, but I
Speaker 1: do believe that if Jalen Warren is healthy, we don't
Speaker 1: see that type of game from Gainwell. So I'm with you.
Speaker 1: I think it's Warren over Hunt. I know Britchard Smith's
Speaker 1: snaps have been descending downward for whatever reason, but I
Speaker 1: still think it's warrant update on the game here tonight.
Speaker 1: So I mentioned that the Bills had a first goal
Speaker 1: for the six, Woody Marx gets it down to the
Speaker 1: one and then an incomplete pass to Jalen Knowle and
Speaker 1: another incomplete pass to Christian Kirk and it is a
Speaker 1: Kaiimi fair baron field goal from twenty four yards out.
Speaker 1: So here we go state the fair baron field goals
Speaker 1: are starting to three now for the Bills, who are
Speaker 1: going to get the ball back four point thirty two
Speaker 1: to go in the first quarter here on Thursday Night Football.
Speaker 2: Okay, do we have any stats on Matt Milano?
Speaker 1: Oh? Yeah, Oh, that's a great I'm gonna bring that
Speaker 1: up right now. Let's bring that up right now and
Speaker 1: we'll find out exactly how many tackles Matt Milano has,
Speaker 1: which is zero point zero currently he does not have
Speaker 1: any tackles, no, no sacks, no tackles for loss, no
Speaker 1: quarterback hits, no touchdowns, no picks, no fubble recoveries, no
Speaker 1: force fumbles, nothing but all right, Tyler Algir or tij
Speaker 1: Spears this week, Stacy, this is another fun one to
Speaker 1: do here. Tij Spears a splitting time with the with
Speaker 1: Tony Powllard in that Titans backfield. They are hosting the
Speaker 1: Seattle Seahawks this week is tay J Spears and then
Speaker 1: Tyler Algier is in New Orleans this week again with
Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins in at quarterback. Adam Levitan from Established the
Speaker 1: Run said this past week, you cannot start Tis, but
Speaker 1: you cannot cut ty J. Spears either, because of what
Speaker 1: could happen with this backfield if one of these guys
Speaker 1: were going to go down to give him a little
Speaker 1: bit of a rebuttal, I think I might play Spears
Speaker 1: this week over Elgier. How do you feel about it?
Speaker 2: So, I just even though you're splitting carries right with
Speaker 2: Tony Pollard here, I'm not really sure that that makes
Speaker 2: a difference when the team can only score about fourteen
Speaker 2: points per game on average, which is the lowest in
Speaker 2: the league. So I don't like their offense at all
Speaker 2: right now. Even if he was the only one back there,
Speaker 2: I think I might be a little bit more inclined,
Speaker 2: you know, to start him. But I think I gotta
Speaker 2: go with Tyler Algier here. You know, you lose Penix
Speaker 2: London's ol. Darnell Mooney will get to him in a second,
Speaker 2: but he's not impressed. This was a run first offense
Speaker 2: to begin with, and it is going to be a
Speaker 2: run only offense. I kind of think back there with
Speaker 2: cousins now, So I think this is one of those
Speaker 2: we talked about, you know, running back committees that we
Speaker 2: could start. We'd feel comfortable starting both guys. I think
Speaker 2: I feel comfortable starting both Algeria and Robinson this week.
Speaker 1: All right, Yeah, and I get that because it seems
Speaker 1: like Algier gets these lay up touchdowns every single week,
Speaker 1: and New Orleans might be right for that this week
Speaker 1: as well. We have to go to Bill Hollywood. I
Speaker 1: can't believe I missed this, Bill Hollywood, chiming in anyone
Speaker 1: think that ad Ni Mitchell can do anything this week
Speaker 1: because he has to either play Brock Right or ad
Speaker 1: Ni Mitchell, which is awful. Frankly, Bill, and I don't
Speaker 1: feel any sympathy to Bill because he is crushing the
Speaker 1: f FPC main event and Big Gorilla right now. He
Speaker 1: has several teams in contention, and by incontention, I mean
Speaker 1: like in the top thirty, the top twenty five team,
Speaker 1: and one of them this year. So the fact that
Speaker 1: you have to play Right or Mitchell, I hope this
Speaker 1: is not from one of your good teams, Bill, But
Speaker 1: to answer your question, and I can't believe I'm answering
Speaker 1: this question, tight end premium, I'm playing brock right non
Speaker 1: tight end premium, I'm playing ad Ni Mitchell. I think
Speaker 1: that's why I leave it on this Stacy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I am not crying for you, Bill at all.
Speaker 2: You get a new QB this week with Taylor in there,
Speaker 2: so maybe there's some sort of connection there with Mitchell.
Speaker 2: Maybe you can just cross your fingers and helper hard
Speaker 2: that they kind of connect. But other than that, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know that I have any role hope for
Speaker 2: the Jets.
Speaker 1: Jackson Hawes has entered the box score for the Bills tonight. However,
Speaker 1: it's not the way he wanted. It is a ten
Speaker 1: yard holding penalty on the kickoff. Another special teams penalty
Speaker 1: on the Bills tonight that backs him up to their
Speaker 1: own twenty two. James Cook for six yards, Khalil Shakir
Speaker 1: for negative two, and the Bills have taken a time
Speaker 1: out with three thirteen to go in the first quarter.
Speaker 1: It is going to be third and what are not
Speaker 1: saying third and six from their own six team. They
Speaker 1: have taken a break on Amazon Prime. We will not
Speaker 1: take a break here as we press on to wide
Speaker 1: receiver questions here, start or sit one of these two
Speaker 1: players here, Stacey Perez, are you looking at starting up? Well,
Speaker 1: I should ask you this. I'll phrase it this way.
Speaker 1: Who would you rather start? Between Darnell Mooney or Xavier Worthy?
Speaker 1: Two players we've talked about on the show tonight. Mooney
Speaker 1: at New Orleans, Xavier Worthy against the Colts, and just
Speaker 1: to be a fair Exavier Worthy. I haven't seen the
Speaker 1: practice report today. He's dealing with an ankle injury. He
Speaker 1: was slated to at least practice today. Mooney versus Worthy
Speaker 1: this this week? Who you got?
Speaker 2: I think I'd still start Worthy, And that's just you know,
Speaker 2: Mooney has really just he's dealt with some injuries and
Speaker 2: when he's been healthy, he's not really been productive, you know.
Speaker 2: And then I mean, you can try to make the
Speaker 2: argument of all volume, right because London's going to be out,
Speaker 2: but you're gonna have Kirk Cousins throwing at him quite prankicly.
Speaker 2: Kirk Cousins has looked terrible the games that he's been
Speaker 2: in there, So I don't really, you know, have any
Speaker 2: sort of faith that that passing offense is really going
Speaker 2: to do anything. And I think you have to downgrade everybody,
Speaker 2: including cal Pitts, you know, again. I just think this
Speaker 2: is going to be such a run heavy offense for
Speaker 2: the foul Flkins going forward, no matter the matchup. I
Speaker 2: can't I can't feel comfortable starting any of those guys
Speaker 2: sending him. Got to go with Worthy there, even on
Speaker 2: a bum ankle, I think I gotta go Worthy.
Speaker 1: So we have this from driver ten thirty six chiming
Speaker 1: in on Twitch saying that Josh Allen is down right
Speaker 1: now and maybe that was the cause of the time
Speaker 1: of my video broadcast is a little bit behind. It
Speaker 1: was a two yard scramble on third and six to
Speaker 1: make it fourth and four. It looks like Khalil Shakir
Speaker 1: is headed to the injury tent on the sideline. We
Speaker 1: already knew he was dealing with that ankle injury. I'm
Speaker 1: about to watch the Josh Allen play here to see
Speaker 1: how serious this is and figure out if we can
Speaker 1: glean anything. Just on first glance on this, he gets
Speaker 1: hit from behind by and I don't know who that was,
Speaker 1: but he's immediately writhing in pain. He is slamming his
Speaker 1: feet down into the turf. He's not really holding anything,
Speaker 1: maybe shaking his right hand a little bit, holds his
Speaker 1: left hand still pounding his feet into the turf. I
Speaker 1: wonder if he knows, you know, something happened on this play.
Speaker 1: I think that's why we've gone to a time out.
Speaker 1: Shakira is getting checked for a concussion according to Tom Smith,
Speaker 1: and the Bills have now punted. Uh, the Texans will
Speaker 1: take over from their own thirty four. Just watching the
Speaker 1: replay here, and he lands pretty hard on that right
Speaker 1: forearm maybe right hand. He grimaces immediately. I can't see
Speaker 1: who the guy was who hit him from Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: so Anderson, this is the IDP and you should have
Speaker 1: answered that question about and before ask.
Speaker 2: Me the two defensive players I know on the Texans.
Speaker 1: Okay, there you go. So now he Alan walks off
Speaker 1: the field under his own power, kind of flexing his
Speaker 1: right hand a little bit. I think he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: But I think they're taking him into the tent just
Speaker 1: to make sure he doesn't look like he's in much
Speaker 1: pain anymore. No, he's not even gonna go to the
Speaker 1: injury tent. He's just taking a seat on the bench. Okay,
Speaker 1: crisis haveverted people. I think everybody breathed. It doesn't look
Speaker 1: like he's being looked at by trainers there. It looks
Speaker 1: like they're talking to him, but they're not really looking
Speaker 1: at it.
Speaker 2: He just looks mad. Now he just looks angry.
Speaker 1: He looks angry, which is good.
Speaker 2: Angry Josh Allen, angry.
Speaker 1: That they had to punt here, no doubt. Okay, getting
Speaker 1: back to starter sits here. Kobe Myers, DJ Moore, Dj Moore.
Speaker 1: I think it's been a player that we've been pretty
Speaker 1: frustrated with. And honestly, the Colston Loveland breakout game against
Speaker 1: the Bengals and Luther Burdens snaps going up certainly has
Speaker 1: not helped Dj Moore at all. When you look at
Speaker 1: these two players again, if you can only start one
Speaker 1: of them, is it Dj Moore at home against Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: this week Stacey or Jacoby Myers on the road against
Speaker 1: the Arizona Cardinals.
Speaker 2: I like Myers on the road just because they have
Speaker 2: no options, right, I mean BT I don't want to
Speaker 2: hear about BTJ. We don't know what's going on with him.
Speaker 2: He's not reliable, right, You've got you've got some issues, right,
Speaker 2: maybe some injuries here in the running game. So you know,
Speaker 2: Breton Strange is still on the IR he's not come
Speaker 2: back yet. So I like Myers, you know, because he's
Speaker 2: been a really reliable target the last couple of games
Speaker 2: his h He's gone nine or eight, yeah, eight eight
Speaker 2: receptions on nine targets. You know, you look at Chicago,
Speaker 2: there's just so many other weapons, There's so many other options.
Speaker 2: Like you just mentioned. You know, Burden is kind of
Speaker 2: coming on a little bit. His numbers are going up.
Speaker 2: DJ Moore has just been really frustrating this year. You've
Speaker 2: got level and kind of deciding to come on now
Speaker 2: a little bit more too. So I I just tend
Speaker 2: to think, if I've got to pick one of these guys,
Speaker 2: I feel like Myers is going to have the better day,
Speaker 2: you know, just that connection, that that veteran presence that
Speaker 2: he kind of brings to that offense for Trevor Lawrence
Speaker 2: to rely on as opposed to DJ Moore in a
Speaker 2: situation where there's just too many male to feed to
Speaker 2: make him fantasy relevant.
Speaker 1: The Pittsburgh defense has probably been playing their best football
Speaker 1: excuse me of the season over the course of the
Speaker 1: last month as well, which I think is another thing
Speaker 1: working against DJ Moore. Myers kind of finding his stride
Speaker 1: in Jacksonville, Right, and I'm with you. Even if Thomas
Speaker 1: is active, maybe he's more active as a decoy. And
Speaker 1: that Donald Moore targets did Jacoby Myers. You know, the
Speaker 1: great thing about him is he is this this high
Speaker 1: floor type of player, so it certainly makes sense to
Speaker 1: play him this week over more, speaking of the Bears,
Speaker 1: Luther Burden or one Greg Dortch, who was the beneficiary
Speaker 1: or one of the beneficiaries of a record setting performance
Speaker 1: by Jacoby Brissett last week? Burden or George Burden against
Speaker 1: the Steelers doors? This week? Who is playing against the
Speaker 1: I just had it the Jacksonville Jen.
Speaker 2: Wars, Oh, this is tough, right, because I mean George
Speaker 2: had George had a pretty good game, right, you know
Speaker 2: he went off for eighteen points. Look, is that likely
Speaker 2: to have been every week? I don't. I mean, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna I'm gonna do our second Matthew Berry quote for
Speaker 2: the Night Right, You have to pick quote what is
Speaker 2: most likely to happen? Right, what's the most likely thing?
Speaker 2: You know it's happened? If is he going to go
Speaker 2: off for eighteen twenty points? Again, No, he's not. Is
Speaker 2: Jacoby Brissett gonna throw for one hundred times a game. Again, No,
Speaker 2: he's probably not is he probably's probably gonna throw for
Speaker 2: a lot, you know, just because he has been the
Speaker 2: last few games. But I don't know that that necessarily
Speaker 2: translates into higher points for Greg Georch I gotta I
Speaker 2: think I'm gonna go with Burden. He's been coming on,
Speaker 2: just more positive things going in his way the last
Speaker 2: few games. Snap percentages increasing over the last two weeks.
Speaker 2: You know, we talked about, you know, the rooky wide
Speaker 2: receivers kind of coming on in that second half of
Speaker 2: the game. I think that's really what you're seeing to
Speaker 2: start happen from Burden. They're kind of putting him into
Speaker 2: that wide receiver two role. They're behind a doomsday and
Speaker 2: that's what I think is going to be. That the
Speaker 2: future for the Bears going forward is those two guys Loveland.
Speaker 2: You know you're going to see like these younger guys,
Speaker 2: you know, Gelling with Williams. So, you know, not starting more,
Speaker 2: but I feel more comfort starting Burden. I think this
Speaker 2: week in that scenario.
Speaker 1: Adam Schefter telling us on X that kir has been
Speaker 1: cleared of concussion protocol and he can enter the game
Speaker 1: when the Bills get the ball back here, which they
Speaker 1: might hear shortly as after the punt, we have Nick
Speaker 1: Chubb four yard run, a deep incompletion to Jaden Higgins,
Speaker 1: and then another incompletion to Jayden and Higgins as well.
Speaker 1: I think that's four targets for Higgins and he's only
Speaker 1: caught one of them so far, which is not great.
Speaker 2: Welling me, am, I not seeing any Nico Collins in
Speaker 2: the box score.
Speaker 1: No, I've seen nothing. Your eyes are not deceiving you.
Speaker 1: I see nothing. I have seen nothing from Nico Collins yet.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's the way that they're covering him,
Speaker 1: but I have not seen him on the broadcast. I
Speaker 1: know he's active, I know he's playing.
Speaker 2: I miss something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, No, you've missed nothing. You've missed nothing other than
Speaker 1: Jaden Higgins missing a lot of connections with Davis Mills
Speaker 1: so far. Let's see here. There was something that was
Speaker 1: gonna say, Oh, regarding Burden, doorch just to put a
Speaker 1: bow on that conversation, Burden's the more pedigree guy. I
Speaker 1: trust the Bears offense a little bit more, even though
Speaker 1: they have been more run heavy. And when you talk
Speaker 1: about players like this that are sort of like dart throws.
Speaker 1: Give me the guy who has the higher ceiling, give
Speaker 1: me the big play guy. That's not Greg Dortch's game.
Speaker 1: That's Luther Burden's game. And Greg Dorsch six for sixty
Speaker 1: six last week. If you're anti Satan, stay away from
Speaker 1: George and go ahead and play with Yeah, bad vibes
Speaker 1: for sure. Absolutely, Noah fant Mace, I beg your pardon
Speaker 1: Harold Fannin or Juwan Johnson this week. Let's assume tight
Speaker 1: end premium leagues for this as we look at the
Speaker 1: tight end portion of the starter sit a segment of
Speaker 1: our podcast tonight, Juwan Johnson is at home against the
Speaker 1: Falcons Harold Fannin at Las Vegas.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so this in this I'm gonna go with Johnson,
Speaker 2: but this might change if Davini Joku ends up being
Speaker 2: I know he's popped up on the injury report, So
Speaker 2: if he ends up being out and it's just Fannin,
Speaker 2: maybe we might change some things there. I just I
Speaker 2: know we talked about this a little bit earlier too.
Speaker 2: With Sanders starting. I think Max Crosby has a good
Speaker 2: day making Sander's life a little bit miserable. So I'm
Speaker 2: just a little worried about him being able to get
Speaker 2: the ball out to fan and enough. And I don't
Speaker 2: really I don't know that I've seen enough of their
Speaker 2: connection yet. I know he and Dylan Gabriel had a
Speaker 2: really good connection. He really enjoyed throwing to the tight ends,
Speaker 2: both him and Djoku. You know, it's not him this
Speaker 2: week at Sanders, So I'm going to need to see
Speaker 2: a little bit more before i feel comfortable starting Fannin.
Speaker 2: You know, with Johnson, you know, Shihet is gone now,
Speaker 2: so he steps into that second option there behind the lave.
Speaker 2: You you know, you kind of like that. I think
Speaker 2: volume in this situation is going to win it for me,
Speaker 2: you know, just because you know they are going to
Speaker 2: be throwing the ball, and you know, I think the
Speaker 2: Falcons do still have a pretty decent defense even though
Speaker 2: their offense is just completely tanked, you know, and they're
Speaker 2: going to be focused on a Lave a lot, So
Speaker 2: I think it kind of opens up more options for
Speaker 2: Jawan Johnson.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think even In and Djoku did not practice
Speaker 1: again today, he's definitely on the wrong side of questionable.
Speaker 1: I think even if he if he doesn't play, I
Speaker 1: still like Johnson better. Uh, you mentioned the Shaheed aspect
Speaker 1: of this and then the unknown of Shader Sanders. I
Speaker 1: feel a little bit more. I feel a little bit
Speaker 1: better about starting Juwan Johnson than I do Harold Fanning
Speaker 1: this week, even without David and Joku Driver ten thirty
Speaker 1: six time on Twitch Kenneth Gainwell or Zach sharbon A PPR.
Speaker 1: For me, it's gonna be sharbon Ay unless Warren doesn't play,
Speaker 1: which it seems like he's trending to to play this week.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna eat my charms, as JJ Zacherison would say,
Speaker 1: and I'm gonna play Sharbone here this week.
Speaker 2: Over onon Kenneth gain Well, Yeah, give me a glass
Speaker 2: of sharbon A. I love it. If he hasn't invested
Speaker 2: in a winery, he's using his money wrong.
Speaker 1: This is this is something that should have been well.
Speaker 1: I guess nil wasn't really in existence when he was
Speaker 1: at UCLA, but yes, this should have been done already.
Speaker 2: Come on, h yeah, I mean he's such a threat
Speaker 2: to vulture. A touchdown from Walker to I mean that
Speaker 2: was kind of something I put in my notes when
Speaker 2: we were talking about Walker too that I didn't even
Speaker 2: think to mention. But yeah, I mean he's he's always
Speaker 2: that threat there to when they get in close to
Speaker 2: snatch that touchdown away from Walker, So I like him
Speaker 2: and Les Warren's out.
Speaker 1: The next drive for the Bills has started and it
Speaker 1: is not Mitch Trubisky under center. It is Josh Allen.
Speaker 1: He is back in the game to hand off the
Speaker 1: ball to James Cook for a yard. He hits Gabe
Speaker 1: Davis Stacy for a twenty two yard gain on second down,
Speaker 1: and then it's a James Cook six yard gain to
Speaker 1: end the first quarter. They are both ready to start
Speaker 1: the second quarter here in the next few minutes in Houston,
Speaker 1: with the Bills holding a six to three lead. The
Speaker 1: last well, let's let's go through the last few here
Speaker 1: rapid fire, just to make sure I get all this
Speaker 1: stuffe Taysom Hill or Luke Musgrave. I am going Musgrave here.
Speaker 2: So I originally had said Taysom Hill, but now that
Speaker 2: you had brought up all the talk about, you know,
Speaker 2: getting Musgrave more involved, I'm going to go musk Grave here.
Speaker 2: I didn't want to take Taysom Hill. I was trying
Speaker 2: to force myself into that argument. So let's go musk Grave.
Speaker 1: All right, so you're saying Musgrave, I am saying Jared
Speaker 1: Goff over brock Perty this week because and I think
Speaker 1: the Jared Goff fantasy analysis is pretty cut and dry.
Speaker 1: If he's playing in a dome, you play him. If
Speaker 1: he's not, you don't. And he's playing in the dome
Speaker 1: this week. Aainst the Giants, I'm playing golf over Perty.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, he's way better at home than he is on
Speaker 2: the road, and they're going to be a pissed off
Speaker 2: Lions team coming off that loss. So I'm all about
Speaker 2: Jared Goff this week.
Speaker 1: This next one might be controversial, Stacey. I'm playing Sam
Speaker 1: Donald at Tennessee, coming off a game where I believe
Speaker 1: he threw seventeen interceptions that game. I'm going to play
Speaker 1: him this week in Tennessee over Baker Mayfield, who is
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles against his old team. I just don't
Speaker 1: trust Mayfield in that matchup against a really tough defense,
Speaker 1: Whereas I think Donald can just throw all over the
Speaker 1: place against Tennessee pretty safely on Sunday.
Speaker 2: I feel like that's I feel like that has to
Speaker 2: be the right answer. But I just can't help myself
Speaker 2: from taking Baker here so I just think I think
Speaker 2: it's got such good shootout potential. It's one of the
Speaker 2: higher over unders of the day at forty nine and
Speaker 2: a half. I think the Bucks probably end up losing
Speaker 2: that game, but I just feel like it's going to
Speaker 2: be such a shootout. Baker's He's throwing a ton over
Speaker 2: the last two weeks. He's throwing about thirty five and
Speaker 2: a half times per game, So I like that. And
Speaker 2: I think Sam Darnold's the last couple of games, I
Speaker 2: don't know what's going on with him. It's like he's
Speaker 2: trying to be the second coming up. What was it
Speaker 2: Nathan Peterman who threw for so many interceptions?
Speaker 1: Yes, goodness, last one. We'll do here tonight our beloved
Speaker 1: Jordan Love against the Vikings at home, or Trevor Lawrence,
Speaker 1: who is at Arizona. I haven't made up my mind
Speaker 1: on how I think this game is going to go.
Speaker 1: I'm leaning right now towards a knockdown, slug it out
Speaker 1: game between the Packers and Vikings, so I'm going to
Speaker 1: go with Lawrence. I think there's more scoring in that game,
Speaker 1: which is why I would bench Jordan Love in favor
Speaker 1: of Trevor Lawrence this week.
Speaker 2: I can't. I can't say no to Jordan Love, Balky.
Speaker 2: I'm going to take Jorian Love. I think these two
Speaker 2: are literally like neck and neck with fantasy points. That
Speaker 2: would be a better joke if it was Davis Mills,
Speaker 2: but you know, fantasy points are really close. Sixteen point
Speaker 2: eight per game with Love, sixteen point six with Trevor Lawrence.
Speaker 2: Passer ratings completely different. Love has the eighth overall highest
Speaker 2: passer rating MUNK Qualified Quarterbacks Treylor Lawrence at seventy nine
Speaker 2: point four, which is terrible. I just don't like the
Speaker 2: East Coast team going over to the West Coast. I
Speaker 2: like a divisional matchup a little bit better. And I
Speaker 2: got to be a homer here. I'm going to take
Speaker 2: your own Love.
Speaker 1: I get it, and it makes sense, and quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if this blows up in my face, at least I'll
Speaker 1: be happy as a fan once again. Hit us up, Stacy,
Speaker 1: you are doing stuff for Dynasty, Djens player profiler and
Speaker 1: Fantasy and frames. Where can people consume more of your content?
