1
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:20,160
Speaker 1: Who waiver claims have to be made, and I've got

2
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:27,120
trade proposals for lying my way. My first round pig

3
00:00:28,679 --> 00:00:32,960
turned out to be a big flop. I don't know

4
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:41,799
which wide receiver I need to drive, Doctor Roto give

5
00:00:41,840 --> 00:00:45,840
me the news. I really don't know what I should do.

6
00:00:46,759 --> 00:00:51,039
My quarterback keeps getting sacked. I've got a bad case

7
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:54,159
of fan deceive blues.

8
00:00:55,880 --> 00:01:01,520
Speaker 2: Will the second most important thing forty minutes between now

9
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:03,399
and the holidays? It may not be. It's not buying

10
00:01:03,439 --> 00:01:07,879
your gifts, it's not organizing your Christmas Eve dinner or meal,

11
00:01:08,040 --> 00:01:10,799
your church service. It's spending thirty minutes of the main

12
00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:13,200
Who's going to make you win your fantasy league? The

13
00:01:13,239 --> 00:01:16,799
good doctor? How the hell are your mister? Roto mt

14
00:01:17,079 --> 00:01:17,400
did you?

15
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:20,040
Speaker 3: Are you still playing? Are you in the sime?

16
00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:23,760
Speaker 2: I'm still playing. I am in the semifinals. I had

17
00:01:23,760 --> 00:01:26,040
a certain kicker for the Los Angeles Rams last night

18
00:01:26,079 --> 00:01:28,200
who got me off to a fantastic start.

19
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 3: You just pook and Akula who put you out? Put

20
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:33,879
you in a generational start?

21
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:37,079
Speaker 2: No, well I didn't have that. I'm telling you, Rono,

22
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:38,879
if there's anything I can give to you besides the

23
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,680
gift of warm beings for you and your family is

24
00:01:42,159 --> 00:01:45,280
let's keep kickers alive in fantasy football toll I'm saying.

25
00:01:47,000 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 3: I said, no one except you, But look, I'm happy

26
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,159
for you. What a game last night? I mean, think

27
00:01:52,159 --> 00:01:56,519
of this way at halftime. JSN has nothing finishes a

28
00:01:56,560 --> 00:02:00,159
game with like twenty four points fantasy points. Pooka was

29
00:02:00,159 --> 00:02:02,239
was fine in the first half and then goes ballistics.

30
00:02:02,239 --> 00:02:04,719
So you know, it's just one of those things where

31
00:02:05,159 --> 00:02:07,120
you know it's the game's never over till it's over.

32
00:02:07,239 --> 00:02:09,560
It really isn't you know in today's NFL with the

33
00:02:09,599 --> 00:02:12,840
scores the way they are, you know, and but don't

34
00:02:12,879 --> 00:02:14,800
think you're out of it. I had a friend who

35
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:18,240
was playing against Kyle Pitts last week, keep one shockingly,

36
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,680
So if you're going up against PUKA or you're going

37
00:02:20,759 --> 00:02:24,000
up against JSN, don't get discouraged. Just keep putting the

38
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:26,039
best guys out there. You never know what the other

39
00:02:26,080 --> 00:02:26,759
team's gonna do.

40
00:02:27,159 --> 00:02:29,159
Speaker 2: All right, I brought this up to you last week,

41
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:36,039
but my, oh, how do I put this? My I'm

42
00:02:36,479 --> 00:02:38,879
triple scared than I was last week. I asked you,

43
00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:40,919
I said, are we gonna worry about teams that are

44
00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:44,280
out of the playoffs. I've got Devon hen going for

45
00:02:44,319 --> 00:02:48,319
the Miami. That's since anti Miami. You got Jets playing

46
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:51,960
New Orleans. You've got a boat, You've got Kansas City, Tennessee.

47
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,840
We have a plethorat rodo of teams playing other teams

48
00:02:57,319 --> 00:03:00,199
that aren't going to make the playoffs. I'm scared or

49
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:02,080
the death that Devon a Chan is going to take

50
00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:04,479
some time off, not give it one hundred percent. I

51
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,080
need him for two more weeks. Can you guarantee me success,

52
00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:07,599
doctor Rono?

53
00:03:08,639 --> 00:03:12,080
Speaker 3: I think this week we can, and so immediately, what

54
00:03:12,120 --> 00:03:13,800
I always like to do is I look to see

55
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,599
what Vegas is thinking. Vegas has a Chan at like

56
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,879
nineteen point five points predicted it's pretty good, so they

57
00:03:20,960 --> 00:03:23,879
don't think he's being shut down yet now week eighteen.

58
00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:25,960
This is why you never want your fantasy league to

59
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,319
end in week eighteen. For sure, this guy's gonna get

60
00:03:28,319 --> 00:03:31,680
shut down Week seventeen. I think we're hanging on by

61
00:03:31,719 --> 00:03:34,000
a thread. But you should get through this week. I

62
00:03:34,039 --> 00:03:37,039
would think most guys get through this week. I think

63
00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:40,240
it starts turning a little ugly next week, and then

64
00:03:40,319 --> 00:03:42,879
for sure in week eighteen. So eight Chan I'm fine

65
00:03:42,919 --> 00:03:47,080
with Travis Kelsey. I'm fine with this week. So, I

66
00:03:47,159 --> 00:03:49,520
mean there's certain guys like that that I think are

67
00:03:49,560 --> 00:03:51,520
still going to give it a go. Look, they're players,

68
00:03:51,560 --> 00:03:55,120
they want stats. Stats equals money, right, bigger contracts, So

69
00:03:55,319 --> 00:03:58,080
you're not gonna see these guys lay up. Now. I'm

70
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:01,520
more concerned about a guy who on a rookie contract

71
00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,240
where a team basically says, we don't need this guy

72
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:08,080
to get killed. That's different. Or like Tua who's you know,

73
00:04:08,159 --> 00:04:11,000
one concussion away from a retirement home in Boca. No

74
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,639
reason to throw him out there. Quinnewers, I want to

75
00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,719
see what he can do. Right, Let's see what quinn

76
00:04:15,719 --> 00:04:16,279
Ewers can do?

77
00:04:17,199 --> 00:04:19,680
Speaker 2: All right, Rono, we got the Steelers and Lions both

78
00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,240
are eight and six. One is feeling pretty good about

79
00:04:22,240 --> 00:04:25,399
themselves with a losi offense. One has an amazing offense

80
00:04:25,439 --> 00:04:27,439
and is not in the playoffs. How's this going to

81
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:29,600
shake out for us fantasy players? And with the Steelers

82
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:30,240
and Lions on it?

83
00:04:31,160 --> 00:04:33,920
Speaker 3: Yeah, you want your Lions this week. You want Jamir Gibbs,

84
00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:37,079
you want Ama Ross Saint Brown, I mean you want them.

85
00:04:37,399 --> 00:04:41,120
The Steelers don't let up big plays, so I don't

86
00:04:41,160 --> 00:04:43,519
know whether this is a Jamison Williams week. They tend

87
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,879
to let up. They give up plays, but not the

88
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:48,959
big ones, the explosive ones. So I'm worried about him.

89
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:51,519
David Montgomery. I mean, when Dan Campbell's giving you the

90
00:04:51,519 --> 00:04:53,480
old David is a pro speech, you know that's not

91
00:04:53,519 --> 00:04:55,360
a good sign. They got to get your Jamior gives

92
00:04:55,360 --> 00:04:58,079
more involved. So I love Goff, I love Gibbs, I

93
00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:01,079
love Saint Brown. On the other side, here's a shocker.

94
00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:04,040
And as I was doing my research this week, you know,

95
00:05:04,079 --> 00:05:06,639
the Lions play a lot of man coverage, but dk

96
00:05:06,759 --> 00:05:09,439
Metcheff has not been great against man coverage. Been kind

97
00:05:09,439 --> 00:05:12,240
of surprising to me. So I still think he could

98
00:05:12,319 --> 00:05:14,959
have an okay week, and I still think Aaron Rodgers

99
00:05:15,079 --> 00:05:17,480
is in play. But the Lions are winning this game.

100
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:20,680
I think the Steelers have played very well last week,

101
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:22,879
But have they played a team like the Lions who

102
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:25,000
are just gonna lay it on them? I don't think so.

103
00:05:25,040 --> 00:05:26,680
I think Detroit really wins by a lot.

104
00:05:27,160 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 2: A lot of intriguing teams meeting that have playoffs on

105
00:05:30,959 --> 00:05:36,480
the line. Jacksonville Denver super sexy game, Bronco's great defense,

106
00:05:37,079 --> 00:05:40,480
weren't a knockdown, dragout offensive back and forth with Green

107
00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:44,360
Bay Sunday Jaguars, who we like to always make fun of,

108
00:05:45,480 --> 00:05:48,000
beat up badly the Jets. Now that's the difference in

109
00:05:48,079 --> 00:05:51,160
challenge obviously this week, But the Jaguars are playing some

110
00:05:51,199 --> 00:05:52,759
of their best football in the last couple of years.

111
00:05:52,759 --> 00:05:55,360
How do you see this matchup showing up they are.

112
00:05:55,399 --> 00:05:57,959
Speaker 3: They're very well coached Leam Cohen. I mean, he probably

113
00:05:58,040 --> 00:06:00,160
won't win Coach of the Year, but he's certainly a hand.

114
00:06:00,160 --> 00:06:02,720
Today's done a fantastic job, and Trevor Lawrence has looked

115
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:04,399
a lot better. Remember those first few weeks of the

116
00:06:04,439 --> 00:06:07,480
season where every ball was sailing like Cam Newton's. Now

117
00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:11,319
he's actually throwing in completing passes. Jacoby Myers has been great.

118
00:06:11,879 --> 00:06:14,040
Be careful with Jacoby Myers this week. Be careful with

119
00:06:14,040 --> 00:06:16,680
Brian Thomas Junior. I think Brian Thomas Junior sees certain

120
00:06:17,480 --> 00:06:20,959
I think Brenton Strange is sneaky. Travis Etn is a

121
00:06:20,959 --> 00:06:23,720
great start. Baseiel Tooton is out. He won't be back

122
00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:25,600
for the regular season, so this is going to be

123
00:06:25,639 --> 00:06:28,000
as many carries as Etn can handle. So I think

124
00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:32,240
in particular. I like Strange and I like etn On

125
00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,959
the other side, R J. Harvey has been tremendous. I

126
00:06:34,959 --> 00:06:37,399
think bo Nix is in play. I like Courtland Sutton

127
00:06:37,439 --> 00:06:39,480
a lot this week. I know you have the Evan

128
00:06:39,639 --> 00:06:42,000
Ingram revenge game. I'm not buying into it. I don't

129
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:44,079
really love Troy Franklin, but I think if you keep

130
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,480
it to the running backs, and you keep it to

131
00:06:46,879 --> 00:06:49,759
Courtland Sutton and the quarterbacks, I think you'll be all right.

132
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 2: I don't care who wins between the Buccaneers and the Panthers.

133
00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:55,480
It's the weakest division in the NFC in the South.

134
00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,800
But for us fantasy folks would mind thirty eight to

135
00:06:58,839 --> 00:07:01,360
thirty five game in Carroll one way or the other, right.

136
00:07:03,519 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: And Tampa wouldn't mind that either. But I think Dave

137
00:07:05,519 --> 00:07:07,879
Knalis would mind it right. So he's going to try

138
00:07:07,879 --> 00:07:10,240
to control that game by running the football. But if

139
00:07:10,279 --> 00:07:13,800
they go down, this game could shoot out because what

140
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,959
happens is is that these two teams play a kind

141
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:18,920
of game that they both want to play. So what

142
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:21,759
does that mean. It means that Carolina run the defense

143
00:07:21,759 --> 00:07:25,839
that Abuka and Mike Evans thrive with, thrive Baker did

144
00:07:25,879 --> 00:07:27,920
not play well last week. I expect him to play

145
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,480
much better. I expect Bucky Irving to give me a

146
00:07:30,519 --> 00:07:32,920
great game as well. So right there, I think you're

147
00:07:32,959 --> 00:07:36,560
looking at Evans and Bucky as sensational starts, and Baker

148
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:40,120
and abuk a decent starts. On the other side. Tatroy

149
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,800
McMillan is dealing with some injuries, but I like him.

150
00:07:42,879 --> 00:07:46,120
I like Jalen Koker. He surprised people last week and

151
00:07:46,199 --> 00:07:48,920
had a very good game called a big touchdown. I

152
00:07:48,920 --> 00:07:52,319
think that could happen again this week. Bryce Young looks,

153
00:07:52,319 --> 00:07:54,279
he does nothing and then out of nowhere he puts

154
00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:56,839
up a really great fantasy game. How do you beat

155
00:07:56,839 --> 00:07:59,759
Tampa by throwing the football? Wouldn't shock me to see

156
00:08:00,279 --> 00:08:01,079
surprise this week?

157
00:08:02,399 --> 00:08:06,439
Speaker 2: Anything you deciphered out of the Colts offense with Philly

158
00:08:06,519 --> 00:08:08,560
Rivers playing last week, and what do you think about

159
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,279
this week's game with their hosting Monday night against the Niners.

160
00:08:12,160 --> 00:08:14,680
Speaker 3: Look, the Colts almost won that game. I mean they

161
00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:17,639
just scored too early. They left enough time on the clock, right,

162
00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:20,639
So that's what happened. But I mean, good on Philip Rivers.

163
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:23,079
I can't I couldn't believe it myself, but I think

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,160
he's going to keep them in this game. This game

165
00:08:25,199 --> 00:08:28,480
is really about Jonathan Taylor. We have not seen Jonathan

166
00:08:28,519 --> 00:08:32,240
Taylor do Jonathan Taylor things where we were getting like

167
00:08:32,279 --> 00:08:35,440
six touchdowns over a two week period. The Colts need that,

168
00:08:35,519 --> 00:08:37,840
they need it right now. But what Rivers was able

169
00:08:37,879 --> 00:08:40,399
to do, he got Pittman involved, he got downs involved.

170
00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,360
He'll get Tyler Wong involved. The key is the Colts

171
00:08:43,399 --> 00:08:46,279
defense because San Francisco is really playing at a high

172
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:49,879
level on offense right now. Brock Purdy came back, George Kittle.

173
00:08:49,919 --> 00:08:52,639
Indianapolis has not stopped the tight end all season, so

174
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:55,480
Kittle should have a good week. Christian McCaffrey hasn't had

175
00:08:55,519 --> 00:08:58,240
a bad week all season. Ricky Pearsall came back and

176
00:08:58,279 --> 00:09:01,480
now gives you that deep threat. So Vegas has the

177
00:09:01,480 --> 00:09:04,200
forty nine or scoring about twenty six and a half points.

178
00:09:04,440 --> 00:09:06,720
I think we're gonna see four touchdowns. If the Colts

179
00:09:06,759 --> 00:09:10,679
want to win, they're gonna have to control that clock

180
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:11,879
with their running game.

181
00:09:13,039 --> 00:09:17,679
Speaker 2: All right, Texans a second consecutive horrific opponent. This time around,

182
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,600
it's going to be the Las Vegas Raiders. Hey, the

183
00:09:20,639 --> 00:09:23,000
Texans put up forty, which is way out of the

184
00:09:23,080 --> 00:09:25,360
ordinary for them. Do you envision them putting up forty

185
00:09:25,399 --> 00:09:27,080
this week, which means it could be another big week

186
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:28,759
for CJ. Stroud and his receivers.

187
00:09:29,639 --> 00:09:31,679
Speaker 3: Yeah, we talked about that last week. I think that

188
00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:34,279
it was a really great matchup for Stroud. This week,

189
00:09:34,360 --> 00:09:36,879
same thing. Raiders play a lot of cover three. Not

190
00:09:36,919 --> 00:09:39,720
gonna be good. Good for Nico, good for Jaden Higgins,

191
00:09:39,759 --> 00:09:42,320
good for CJ. Stroud. Do you know that Vegas has

192
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,879
the Raiders scoring twelve points this week? That's crazy. That's

193
00:09:45,919 --> 00:09:49,279
a really low number. You don't Fourteen is a shockingly

194
00:09:49,639 --> 00:09:53,799
low number. Twelve even worse. I mean, you start brock

195
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,000
Bowers because you probably don't have a guy better than him.

196
00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,159
You start ashing genty because you know if he can

197
00:09:59,200 --> 00:10:01,720
get he can find the end zone once. But I mean,

198
00:10:01,720 --> 00:10:03,720
this is a game that the Texans should win. Texans

199
00:10:03,720 --> 00:10:06,559
should dominate. They're playing really good football right now. I

200
00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:09,279
think the biggest question is this, how healthy is Woody

201
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:11,840
Mars and how long will they keep them out there?

202
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:14,519
If they're winning this game by fifteen, you know, fourteen seventeen,

203
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,320
do you pull them out and let Jordan play? I

204
00:10:16,399 --> 00:10:16,600
might
