That's the biggest negative impact to me. Because to me, Mooney was the one dissecting defenses, timing routes, where Cousins had picked him as a favorite. I don't know.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
No.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
No, the switch involves – I mean, he just came off a goose with Cousins. The variable here of a brand-new quarterback going into semifinal week is too much for me. Mooney was not in a must-start category. He was a flex guy.

Welcome in. It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood, Mr. Moore. Wednesday, December 18th, the Fantasy Footballers in the building. Hello. You just hit us with a Mr. Rogers? Nothing wrong with that. Put on your cardigan. It's the level of calm that we all need for the fantasy semifinal. Oh, and not all of us, but I mean like Al, myself. Okay, that's one league. I'm in plenty of semifinals.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So to me, I'd be trying to find somebody with more certainty, and look, it could be the wrong call. We just don't know what to expect from Michael Penix. That's the reality of the situation, and that variable freaks me out. Some people, maybe not. Maybe you're more risk-averse. Maybe you want to take the shot. I don't. I don't think it's good for Bijan.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I don't think it's good for the offense predictability-wise.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, they're not scoring.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
You're just saying that the baseline's been so low for Atlanta for five weeks, it can't get much worse.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
This is really good math analysis. Yeah. Here's where you go down. Browns are starting Dorian Thompson-Robinson. That sucks. Jameis Winston was benched. It seemed like it was going that direction. That's what we said yesterday, that we kind of expected that, but... Oh, I mean, this is so. Oh, my God. He's never scored more than 13 points in a game as a starter.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
It's not a great sample because Jerome Ford has played a committee-back role historically with the Browns. His numbers are better splits-wise with DTR than they are Winston, but they're not good with either historically. I was trying to find some correlative, like what do you expect? I mean, he caught more passes with DTR than he did with Winston. It's small stuff. It's not really predictive.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He's a starter now. He's not a backup. He is playable in this game. I do believe that the Bengals matchup is going to be very good for Jerome Ford.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I think DTR might run a decent amount in this game, and you've got to hope they give you a goal line opportunity for Ford because it's probably going to be one, one opportunity. Three points, 13 points, 12 points, and three starts for him last year. Bengals playing for playoff lives. Browns are done. They're toast. We got IR for Nick Chubb. And Jerry Judy, terrifying. You're probably playing him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I mean, I'd play him over Mooney.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Just because of how good he's been and how elite he's been.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Titans are also making a switch to a backup. Mason Rudolph taking over for the Titans. This is more of the can't get worse than it was situation. He actually, you know, Calvin Ridley had piles and piles of targets for Mason Rudolph when he started this year. I think he averaged 12 a game. So could it be a little bit better for Calvin Ridley? I think so.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I've seen Will Levis play.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Aidan O'Connell trending upwards to playing this week. Did you see the comment? I think it was through Barstool. Dave Portnoy had talked to Antonio Pearson in an elevator the other day, and he said he was competing because he's a New England fan. He said, we're completing for the number one pick.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, for first place or something like that. It was some kind of comment regarding the fact that the Patriots and the Raiders are competing for the opportunity to have a higher draft pick. That's where they're at.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, I don't think you win with either guy. But yeah, it was just one of those acknowledgments of the team's demise. Which makes it hard. I mean, Aiden O'Connell is much better than Ritter. However, Brock Bowers' confidence goes down with either guy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
If O'Connell was there, was he a better start to you than Adam Thielen with Bryce Young in Carolina?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
But not the one you want to be.

We also got news that Brees Hall did not practice estimated DMP today.

Also, no one needs calm. You don't want peace in your decision-making? I think that's the best kind of decision you can make. You don't want panic. I don't. You want to put your shoes on nice and slow. I want excitement.

So you have two years of pain from one man.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, yeah. It's four knives over two years. George Pickens, DMP on Tuesday, still dealing with the hamstring. We'll monitor that. But that's a scary start as well. You know, if he's active, I'm sure you're playing him. But their offense has not been anywhere the same without him. That was today's News and Notes presented by USAA Insurance.

Well, semifinal week will begin on Thursday. Denver traveling to L.A. to take on the Chargers. Denver sitting at 9-5, Chargers 8-6, and slipping. They're slipping. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Chargers minus 2.5 at home, however. Over-unders just 42. That's low. That's low. Right now, they are both playoff teams.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
They are currently the 6th and 7th seed in the playoffs and with a decent lead in those spots, but very important game. Both defenses are tied for number one in points per game allowed. So, you know, I don't know. Maybe, Kyle, you can dig up the health of Patrick Sertain because...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
We also got anxiety from Al Borland in the back. Is it starting to percolate now that you have a matchup in your platform? You can see the projections?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Sertan is healthy, by the way, the latest report. So Sertan will be out there. Bo Nix, there's been a lot of trust there with Bo Nix and with Cortland Sutton. The matchup over the last six weeks has been much better. Like you said, the Chargers have given up some points. They've been slipping.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Part of it is that their offense is missing pieces and success and running game and short fields and mistakes, and Stone Smart has become a talking point in fantasy. That's not where you wanted to be if you were the Chargers.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He had a 6 for 78 game two weeks ago, good enough for 30th. He's had a wide receiver 23 week and a wide receiver 27 week, but no, not very many boom games. McConkie has been really the guy. He's averaging 88 yards a game since the injury or since week eight. So, you know, you can play McConkie. For sure.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He is not the kind of player that gets followed all over the place, and he'll have his receptions. Quentin Johnson's healthy, but scary, and I don't know if I'd really want to.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
This is why I like McMillan more than him and Waver.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Corlin Sutton's in your lineup, though, right? Because this is a situation where you trust the alpha on this offense. But beyond that, I mean, you don't have probably Jillian McLaughlin anymore, so Javante and Estime.

And we have a lot of questions about Jaden Daniels this week. There is significant worry about Daniels versus the Eagles. And the most asked question by far is what quarterbacks would you actually start over Jaden Daniels, who was the quarterback 24 against the Eagles last time. The Eagles defense is very healthy. The offense for Washington is not healthy. Noah Brown is gone.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Zach Ertz, probably out. Zach Ertz is a very nice safety blanket underneath for Jaden Daniels moving the football. This one is a tough one. You've got a rookie quarterback in a difficult situation, but he's been so good. Jordan Love against New Orleans. or Jaden Daniels against Philly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So over Goff against Chicago, over Tua against San Francisco? Definitely. Over Darnold against Seattle?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Over Baker against Dallas?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Okay. Let's jump into a voicemail question here.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So Tristan is between Kyler Murray and Bo Nix. Kyler has the Panthers. Panthers are a great matchup for quarterbacks. The Broncos, we just talked about it. Chargers, Thursday night, low over under. I would play Kyler.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
You were on the or.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
They're favored by four and a half. Broncos are underdogs by two and a half.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Really big popular start-sick questions around Jalen McMillan, Jaden Reed, and JSN. So the Js. Okay. First question from Munoz says, are you worried about JSN?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So that would be JSN over McMillan.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
That would be Jalen McMillan or Keenan Allen for an underdog. I'm going to go – This is from Ben Sharp.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He wasn't an option. It was Jalen Millen or Keenan Allen on that one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, that'll be fun. Just got to take care of business this week. We're going to help you do it. That's what this show is all about. You can find the community at jointhefoot.com. I also wanted to let people know. We mentioned it late on the show. I was just reaching in. We got some mini helmets on shotballers.com now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah? What other coaches? You've been a Tomlin fan.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
You'd rather play for Dan Campbell?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
You ever see the story about Andy Reid when he was an offensive coordinator? Yes. And he had to pretend to be yelling in a player's face, and he was basically saying calmly, like, I'm going to be really demonstrative here, and I'm going to say a bunch of stuff. I need you to act like I'm yelling at you, but I just wanted to tell you that you're doing fine and you're doing good with the coach.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
And he's like, I'm going to come out and pretend I'm yelling at you, but you actually did that. You ran that play pretty well, and I like what you're doing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, and the tough part about being the player's coach versus tough guy versus all that stuff is it's mostly about when you need to be what. Yes. And that's like kind of emotional intelligence from a coach as opposed to pretending. Like if you decide as a head coach, I need to be tough right now, you've already lost the battle. You should know that already.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
And if you're like, oh, I need to be a player's coach right now, they will see through that fakeness too.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
tough lay down some law i think everything is always okay that you know what i mean yeah i get it he's a player's coach that's fun but um yep yep a uh i tend to agree jayden reader discipline uh jayden reader jamison williams logan writes in on instagram wants to know read uh where our confidence is williams where our confidence is
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Of Josh Jacobs? You're going to have to finish the sentence. The emergence of Josh Jacobs? Ascension?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I would try Jamison Williams out there. Higher probability of that big, big play. An unknown with no David Montgomery and how that offense is going to function, and that unknown can lend itself towards Williams' targets. That's where I would go as well. So we'll take a quick break and jump back into some more mailbag questions.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Oh, in the middle of the set? Yeah. Yeah, we had some brand new helmets made for the set, and then we've got minis available now at shotballers.com, and you can check those out. They are pretty cool. Yeah, yeah, we've been wanting those for a long time. So we finally got them up there, and we'll have, you know, the Foot Clan title t-shirts coming up at the very end of the year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
All right, this next question comes in off of Instagram, Jason. Is Amari Cooper droppable for the Packers defense?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I mean, I would not be afraid of my opponent picking up Amari Cooper. I might be excited.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Amari Cooper's five games played. Actually, I'll include the game he came and scored a touchdown in week one. Just so you know, Amari Cooper, the bill. Okay. On pace for 45 receptions, 654 yards. Oh, awesome. And 2.8 touchdowns.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So we'll get the team working on those. It's championship season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
And it's only 2.8 because he scored one time in that first game. He has not scored since then.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, you got to make the moves now that don't feel like normal moves. If you've conditioned yourself for 13 weeks to think about your insurance back, And having depth at this position and keeping this guy away from somebody else. And you're sitting there and you could pick up the Green Bay Packers against Spencer Rattler and no one and no Camara at Lambeau. You have to make that move.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
What your potential loss of points is later is lower than your potential gain in points today. You have to live short term. There is no tomorrow. And I promise you, if you lose this week, you will find no solace staring at your bench of depth next week.

All right, let's move on to Hungry for More.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I made a great trade.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
It wasn't all that went into it. I pursued Chase for weeks. You know who else pursued him and didn't have an accept button to click? Al Borland over there.

It wasn't just Omari Cooper, you clowns.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I had made an offer. I'll just lay it out there. This is not a defense. I had made an offer with Amari Cooper. It was Cooper, Njoku, Mooney, and two picks for Chase. No, I'm not doing it, he says. My good fortune was the trade happens. All of a sudden, the sugar plums are dancing in the mind of this other manager.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He says, no, I'm not doing that. It just so happened that within the next 24 hours, Cooper goes to Josh Allen and the Bills. The same offer comes back to me. And you couldn't click it quick enough. I mean, so fast, so fast. Yeah, because you got Jamar Chase for nothing. Because I'm already trading Cooper as if he was great. Yes. And there's a what if in the equation.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
When these trades happen, Hopkins. Hopkins got traded for in a lot of leagues with Kansas City. Cooper, when a midseason trade happens, all you see is the greatest possible outcome. Not everybody.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
But you're trading it on the value of the accomplishment.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
We've said that for dynasty leagues a lot. We've said that for pre-draft trading, the value of the player. If you're getting the value of them performing to their maximum outcome. Yeah, it's not just trade them. Yeah, then you're winning no matter what. Yeah, because you're getting the value back. Yes. But it is a good point that I have Jamar Chase that you brought up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Well, you know, not everyone listens to the show, Jason. All right, we've got more questions. Packers defense or Falcons defense? Falcons playing well. Sacking the quarterback playing Tim Boyle and the Giants. Packers against the Saints.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Okay, well, hungry for more, Jason. I think I'm going to let you start. I like the name.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Okay. Is the Bengals defense – this is from – I want you to answer that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I am thinking motive over skill because the Browns are starting DTR.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Do you feel the same way, and this is a question coming from me as a follow-up, do you feel that way about Jacksonville's defense, 30th in the league, but could be playing Desmond Ritter?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Right. I agree with that. Cody writes in on X, do you go with a regular pepperoni pizza?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Or pull out all the stops for your opponent during the playoffs. Okay. This is a question regarding a very... Successful... Common strategy if you are a follower of the show. Right. Which is you pre-congratulate your opponent.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
And you did not buy all a pizza, which might've led to you losing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I don't know. Is that stuffed crust? What's pulling out the stops? Is that getting them dipping sauce? I mean, sure. It's not quantity. Total quantity of toppings does not make a better pizza, right? Well, there's cheese pizzas that are better than Supreme pizzas. Yeah, so just adding more toppings. I mean, it's more expensive if you add toppings.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Well, no, it would be Kelsey, but I'm wavering on my, like, Otten or somebody else situation. Otten has been awful. Yeah, he's been, you know, but then I look in at Baker and Baker's got three touchdowns. Then he's got four touchdowns the last two weeks.

So is it Brenton Strange or Tucker Kraft? Where is the line? Because that question came in from Johnny.

Yeah. Are you going 12-target Strange?

All right. Lead me not into temptation. Aaron says, how do you decide what players to start or bench with a stacked roster?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Oh, all right. And I was almost hoping. That I wouldn't get Brenton Strange because I got him. And now I'm going to be staring down Strange, Otten, all week long. Man. Borland decided to play some defense, grabbing Madison.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, I got Jalen McMillan. You never know. I mean, if Mixon was out, would you be playing Damian Pierce against Kansas City, sharing the backfield with Agumbo Wallet, or would you play McMillan in your flex? I would play McMillan. Yeah, that's why I did that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
So we'll see. But now I have to decide Stranger or Otten. Do you know any good podcasts I could listen to that might have insight on that dilemma?

Now, Kyle, you're listening in, right? And your team in League of Record with Mike is just, I mean, it's been out of the playoffs for a few months here. Do you have an unbiased opinion on Strange v. Otten? I have a super biased opinion. It's always Otten.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He's just on the field. I like that. See, I'm with you with that. I love the snap count. I looked again last week, 92%. He's almost always there. But, man, can we get him some targets, Kyle?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I know. I know. I will have to make that call. And you know what? Here's the final thing I'll say on today's show. Thursday game. Saturday games. Depending on how those go, that might very well make my decision.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I don't know. I think that's probably true, but it's hard to not play a tight end like Kate Otten in the highest overrunner of the week with Baker Mayfield. I think that will probably stay there, but if I got through the week and Otten sucked again, I'd have Strange on my bench. Okay. You know what I mean? Boopity boop. It's going to be a stressful week, I just realized.

Well, and the other point to bring up is he had two five-zone carries before Pollard's exit last week, which was something significant, surprising. Pollard had already scored. Then they got down on the goal line. Spears had the opportunity to score, got stood up. They kept him out there, gave him a second carry. He rose into the heavens and scored.

It's perfect for the low-impact workouts, or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too. Or maybe you're doing some yoga or some stretching, or even sitting at the desk in the studio.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, gotcha. Yeah, but Tajay Spears, huh? Jalen McMillan is my name. We talked about him a lot yesterday, so I won't belabor the point. You won me over. He has been targeted on 24% of his routes in the last two games. He scored three touchdowns. He's a third-round pick. He's got Dallas on the schedule, and they need his explosive ability in the game. I mean, they just do.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
They need it at the wide receiver position. When you're talking about Sterling Shepard having involvement in the offense, it tells you everything you need to know about their need for Jalen McMillan. He's a rookie, so acclimation, route running, dealt with injury. It's a slow burn, but he's here.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
He's just capitalizing too on opportunities where earlier in the year he had targets and did not have a high catch rate and didn't take advantage. But the matchups are good. So I'm hungry for more Jalen McMillan making an impact on fantasy teams. I was hungry for more. Presented by Uber Eats where you can get the best deals on game day food all season long.

All right. Well, look, everybody's paying a little bit of closer attention to the news relevant to them. And what's relevant to you, Andy? Well, I think it's more than just myself in this case.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, Joe Mixon is the one I'm very, very concerned about. The matchup is not good. It's Kansas City. We looked extensively at the motivation factor for Houston yesterday. They have about a 1% chance of getting the two seeds. So moving from the four where they're pretty locked to the two where Buffalo is because Buffalo would have to lose to three terrible teams. That's not going to happen.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
There is a higher chance to move to the three seed. That would be passing Pittsburgh. Pittsburgh has Baltimore this week. Houston has the opportunity if they beat Kansas City. If for some reason Mahomes sits, if they take it easy, whatever. If Houston can get by, that would be the motivation you'd want. At that point, Houston has a game with Baltimore down the stretch.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
There would be a realistic shot if – You know, if Baltimore wins this week and Houston wins this week, which means they want to win, if both of those things happen, their odds of getting that third seed go up tremendously, more within their control. And so all of this to say, like, what is the status of Joe Mixon? We've been looking into that. It was a hip drop tackle. They've come out again.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
What was your reaction to hearing that, Jason? Because I was very curious. You hadn't heard that clip yet. I had got it ready before the show, and I knew you'd hear it fresh. And I wanted to know if you were more optimistic, pessimistic.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
I did wonder, you know, after our discussion yesterday, his comment about being there for his teammates, and then he said for myself. And then I'm thinking back to the contract incentives. He's had 910 rushing yards. He's got an 1100 rushing yard incentive. So there is a being there for yourself aspect to it. But the reality of the mixing situation is that if he's active, this is a Saturday game.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18

No, and he said he's not. I mean, he didn't practice. I think at best you'll see a limited practice.

Start/Sit Courage + Hungry For More, TNF Preview - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/18
Yeah, yeah, that's kind of where you're at. And if he didn't play, you also would know early, right? I mean, you'd be getting that information quite a bit earlier. I'm looking at Kansas City, and I'm curious how they've performed against running backs in recent history. We'll have to take a look at that too. I'm sure they've been shutting them down just like they have most of the year.

One touchdown, nine interceptions in the last five games. They're sitting him down. Michael Penix Jr. taking over as starting quarterback. And... Here's what we know. We pointed and laughed at Kyle during draft day. And now you're... The mistake is either drafting Pennix or signing Cousins. It looks like the mistake was signing Cousins.

It's perfect for the low-impact workouts or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too.

Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
By the way, the 2023 winner of this award was Amari Cooper, who had 11 for 265 and two in week 16. Yeah, that was awesome. I found maybe more than years past, more categories were more difficult for me to pick a winner.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
It was hard to decide between a lot of them for me.

Oh, no, no, no. Oh, you don't want to sway the vote? No, no, no, no, no. Okay. I'll ask you after. We don't do that, Jason. The Fantasy Reapers Man of the Year, which is which player's injury hurt fantasy managers the most? In 2023, it was Nick Chubb with his catastrophic injury. This year's nominees, Christian McCaffrey. I hear he was drafted fairly high.

Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
Yeah, last year the winner was Austin Eckler, who was the poopiest pants award, who was drafted as the RB2, and who Jason wouldn't trade me for two firsts in Saquon Barkley.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
Yeah, that one was a tough one for me to pick too because I feel like it's going to be a little bit subjective with who you grabbed in your league, which is the point of the award. Who did it for you? Finding quarterbacks. on the waiver wire that you can always start. Like we always talk about streaming the quarterback position, but not because we want to. Right.

All right. Where are we? Tight end? Yep. Is it? It's to me. The fantasy tight end of the year. Last year, Sam Laporta, a rookie. This year, you got a rookie in the nominees. Brock Bowers, seventh round pick. Finishes the tight end, too. George Kittle deserves some respect here. 49ers went 6-11, but the George Kittle fans out there got the tight end one in the fifth round.

Trey McBride, a fourth-round pick, late fourth, finished at tight end three. And Johnny Smith, undrafted, finishing tight end four. And by the way, apology, public apology to Arthur Smith. You were playing a better tight end than Johnny Smith.

And I actually... He doesn't even want to say it. I don't. I have the Chargers in the Super Bowl via upsetting the Chiefs in the divisional round and then upsetting the Bills in the conference championship. For whatever stupid reason, I'm not just trying to be hot takey. I just feel like the Chargers are kind of built to win in the playoffs, and we will see what happens. That is not...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
The odds of that are plus 2,800 or something ridiculous right now, so not high odds.

I have Detroit, though, winning against the Chargers in the Super Bowl. Let's see here. So if you're still with us.

I see we fixed our graphics today. Oh, OK. That was going to be pretty fundamental to your employment. No. Congrats on the trophy that's sitting there.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
It didn't go well, but then it didn't go poorly enough either because they should have had the number one pick. Now they have the fourth pick and no head coach.

It's funny, though. I mean, we've been doing this long enough to know when the roles were perfectly reversed. I mean, it was the New England on top of everything, doing everything right, and Buffalo was laughing stock. Mm-hmm.

Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
Well, he does have a bazooka. Yes. Nobody can throw the football. It was very Josh Allen-esque. He had a couple throws. One was called back, a touchdown to Demario Douglas. That was incredible. Doug Peterson fired. Goodbye. Oh, man. They have the fifth pick.

Maybe. Yeah. Maybe. They should.

And then they could be a trading team too.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
The Colts will retain Shane Steichen and Chris Ballard. That one was surprising. I don't think the vibes there were good all year. Chris Ballard is pretty proven. Shane Steichen... I don't know if he knew what he was doing this year. He felt very similar to Gerard Mayo to me. It's from press conferences and decision making.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Nominees + Week 18 Recap, Super Bowl Picks - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/7
If you're talking about keeping somebody there, you talk about, hey, he had to deal with – Injuries at the quarterback position that rotated guys through and didn't get stability ever. You know, it's a questionable hire, though. I don't know if he's going to work out. Mike McDaniel is staying with the Dolphins.

Yeah, it's tough. The Jets are taking calls on Devontae Adams. Spoiler alert, they're probably not going to find a trade for Devontae Adams, but they have said they will release him if they can't trade him. So you will have Devontae, Rodgers...

You're not going back to the Raiders? I mean, the Raiders could use Aaron, but he just left the Raiders. He's not going back to the Raiders. Adams. Adams. Yeah. I was going to say the Raiders. Go to the Steelers? I don't know. Go be one of the retreads the Steelers have tried on for size?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I genuinely, truly believe that Aaron Rodgers and Devontae Adams care about nothing but their numbers to finish this out.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Oh, no.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, Jason. The Athletic's Zach Rosenblatt believes it's unlikely the Jets will pursue an extension with... Ernie Early. ...Breece Hall.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
There was a dust devil out in part of the valley out here that was outrageous in the middle of a kid's soccer game. I don't know if you saw that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Brees used to always break that tackle. He did nothing. He seemed very – I mean, I've said this a bunch of times. He's very good in the passing game. Get him into some space. Let him get downhill. But like you said, making something from yourself behind the line of scrimmage That seemed like it was a struggle. It was a struggle to get to those, you know, bigger chunk yardage plays this year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Garrett Wilson is willing to discuss a long-term extension with the Jets. Anybody who wants to talk to me about a long-term extension, I'm willing to have a discussion. That would be my policy. If anybody's like, I'd like to talk to you about a long-term extension, I will be listening. I would not be like, no. Because this is payday for Garrett Wilson.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
So it's like, somebody can come in, even if I don't want to play for you, come in and set a number. And he has... Yeah, Hall is entering the final year of the rookie deal. So, I mean, Brees Hall right now, I've got him eighth at running back in Dynasty. Jason, you have him at ninth. Ninth on your rankings, 30th in your heart.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Mike, you are still more optimistic at least.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Six then maybe? Yeah. Six, seven range? Yep. There has been a lot of talk about Metcalf trades, Packers being brought up. The Packers supposedly – I saw it from multiple good sources that they – at least the message they want out there is that there's a trade on the table. that they've presented that involves either Dontavian Wicks and or, or Romeo, Romeo Dobbs in some sort of draft capital.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Almost. It was close. It was throwing objects all over the place. It was huge. We've got some free agency predictions on today's episode of the show. We've got NFL News. We have the Combine. Did you watch a lot of what transpired? I know we didn't get every player we wanted out there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It's being reported out of Seattle. They want at least the first.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It would obviously be a late first.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yeah, I think that would make sense. I think that's it by way of news, unless Deucer's Alley, you guys got anything back there? No, sir. All three of you present and accounted for in this moment? At this moment. Okay. All right. That's good to know. Didn't know if we had to hand a trophy over to somebody else.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Well, that's frightening. We'll take a break. Back with some free agency predictions. All right. Thursday, we have 10 things to remember. Today, we're going to talk about some of the free agency predictions. The league year starts next Monday. Am I right about that? Next Monday?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I think it's next Monday.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
So we are actually going to – we normally record this time of year the afternoon before.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yes, the tampering. The legal tampering. So when news starts to break, it will be as early as Monday. We'll record early Tuesday and release it right away. So you'll be up to date the second we release the show next Tuesday for the free agency period. It will be a lot of fun. Maybe not as much fun this year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I'm not, you know, maybe it's just me, but I'm not as excited about seeing where Najee Harris goes as some of the other flagship agents.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Fair enough. Let's talk. free agent frenzy well uh before we get into the predictions i'm gonna let one of you two gentlemen talk through a few of the um details when it comes to which part am i talking about sometimes it's we like to do this at least once a year just talk through the explanation of what a cap hit represents what dead money represents when we talk about
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I think that was the foot cast. So, you know, when we start talking about teams with cap space, right, New England, Las Vegas, Washington, they have a ton of cap space. We'll often bring up language around what a player's cap hit would be, what their dead money is. When we're talking free agency, maybe a brief overview.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
The Suns would be so proud of them.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Did you talk about dead money? Dead money is the guaranteed money left on a player's contract at the time they are let go or traded. So the guaranteed money left and that money will count against the team's cap the following year. Right. So there you go.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Downside is higher than the upside.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It's weird that those numbers aren't the same. Yeah. We said it. Next Monday, the legal tampering period begins where teams are permitted to enter contract negotiations. Players can officially sign on Wednesday when the league year begins. And basically today in a few hours is the end of the franchise tag deadline. Apparently, no, I didn't remember this. We do a few shows.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I don't know if you knew that. But Jason is the reigning champion of free agency predictions last year. That's right. But I'm not seeing any totals, which means we may be masking that. You get one of these right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, so let's start with our predictions for the quarterback position. We have team opportunity pages inside the Ultimate Draft Kit. It's one of the coolest sections of the Dynasty Pass. Jason! Where you can look at what teams are in need at specific positions. So at quarterback, we know the Titans, the Browns, the Giants, Raiders, Jets, Steelers are some of the teams needing quarterbacks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Sam Darnold. Samuel. Samuel. Where's he going?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
uh i'm not convinced the raiders like darnold as their guy so i am going to so i could see the the the darnold goes out does his tour comes back signs with the vikings i could see that for sure but i'm gonna i'm gonna take a shot here with the pittsburgh steelers all right being the destination for sam darnold justin fields and russell wilson two former steelers that are now
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
You know, they could bring one of them back. They could let both of them go. We'll start with Fields, though, just 26 years old. Started six games for Pittsburgh. They made the controversial switch to Russ. That worked out for them. He was running the football a lot. Mike and I, we have the same team here. We're both going Jets for the Justin Fields destination.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
They have had some comments about where it's been reported that they like him. He could be part of a competition there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Sure, or the Browns. The Browns could flip up to one to grab the guy they want.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Remember the great trial prior days or moment in time in Cleveland at quarterback? Oh, yeah. Sure. Yeah. Those were fun days.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
No, well, he started quarterback and then went wide receiver. Yeah, he was quarterback for the Raiders.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
That's what I mean. It was just out of nowhere. Russell Wilson, I have him going to the Titans and likely an opportunity if the Titans trade out. If they decide their quarterback of the future isn't quite there, let Russ compete with Will Levis. Let Russ compete.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, let's look at the... I know what you wanted to push.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Looking at running back needy teams, let's go through the free agent running backs. We'll be looking at Aaron Jones, Najee Harris, Nick Chubb, Javante Williams, J.K. Dobbins, and anybody else you want to talk about. But starting with Aaron Jones, Mike and I, we're in sync again here. We think he's coming back. I'm being boring with this one. I know.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I hate doing it, but Vikings is the pick for both of us.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Let's run it back another year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, no Browns predictions for this next guy. Najee Harris, 27 years old, 1,000-yard seasons, just getting it done, but likely to leave Pittsburgh this offseason. And we actually have three different destinations for Najee Harris. I have them going to the Raiders, who need to figure out what to do at running back.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yeah, you're saying the free agents would be a better situation for Tracy than the rookies. I think so. Nick Chubb will be departing the Browns, potentially, in two straight years with season-ending injuries. To me, it feels like the Steelers are a potential reclamation home for, I mean, it could be Chubb and Warren there. So I will go with the Steelers.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Welcome in. Tuesday, March 4th. The Fantasy Footballers. Jason Moore, Mike, the Fantasy Old Man. I'm Andy Holloway. Yeah, Mike, you celebrated a birthday yesterday. I did. One of your last. One year closer to the end. One year closer, everybody. Did you do anything to celebrate? Donuts, Carl's Jr.

Discount injury situation.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Well, we will have the post-Combine update to the Dynasty Pass hitting very soon. Yep. A lot of updates have already been made. You can get that at UltimateDraftKid.com. We just finished up our giveaway, an exclusive Listener League spot. And, Al, you're going to have to find me some celebratory – can I get the, like, announcement horn or something? Thank you. Boom!
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right. Wants a fantasy football dynasty darling. Oh, man. Just 24.9 years old, but it feels like the career is over. Javante Williams, I have him going to the Giants.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I agree somebody's going to the Giants backfield, so I'll go with Javante.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, J.K. Dobbins, I'm going back to the Chargers, that they work it out to get him back on the field. I think that was a good fit, and I don't think it will be that expensive.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Mike, you have him there as well.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Did you hear the big news, though?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
They might be willing to let go of somebody in the backfield.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Zemir White, available for trade if anybody wants that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Someone pays enough.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
That's like if you want him, you got to come in here and get him. But then all the gates are open. Like you show up at the facility. All the gates are wide open. There's no way you're getting in here. The security guards are turned around.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, we'll take a break, and we'll talk about wide receivers. Yeah, the Falcon chimed in. He's like, it'll be a breaking trade where Zemir White and a six goes for a seven. Okay. T. Higgins, he would have been the exciting prediction. I predict the Bengals. Me too. Which I think he tweeted and just said tag. He did. He's a funny guy. All right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Unrestricted free agents, though, starting with Stephon Diggs, who is on his last leg, quite literally. Tore his ACL in week eight, 31 years old.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
obviously we know stefan diggs does not lack any amount of confidence in his own abilities and he could go and contribute someplace in a reduced capacity just hard not to look at him and say you're entering your final you know you're entering your titans julio phase of life but you know who's willing to pay for quality old wide receivers
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
You know what I mean?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Young surrounded by Olds. So you went with the Panthers. I'm going to go with the Ravens. Mike stays in the NFC North.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
And you went Steelers. Yeah, the Ravens still have needs on the offensive side. They've dealt with injuries. We had Zay Flowers hurt at the end of the year. Bateman, hard to rely on him. Diggs would be a good, like that's the right place to bring him in where you have Henry in the locker room, Lamar in the locker room. Diggs can come and contribute.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
You know, maybe to a capacity greater than Deontay Johnson did.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Mike has them going to the Steelers, similar situation there where they have a need. Keenan Allen is almost 33 years old, 15th all-time in receptions. That's right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Now, Mike, I see you have deleted the team. What? The team that you had in here.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
The winner of the Listener League spot, we have it here to announce. Jason. Jay Rago.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Jay, you might need to look at the next game. I'm looking at Amari Cooper over here. That's a good point, Mike. Well, look, I'll put Keenan Allen. Let me name the guys that he's behind on the all-time reception list.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
He's behind Jerry Rice and Larry Fitzgerald and Marvin Harrison.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Well, here, try to guess what team I put them on. It's one of the 32 NFL teams. Plays in one of the two conferences. Whoa, slow down. Slow down. Plays in one of the eight divisions. Okay, okay. You go ahead and talk about your thing. I'm having back for a swan song with the Chargers.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yep.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I will go with the Chiefs for Amari Cooper.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
He could be finished business himself.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It's a good reminder to fantasy players it's really hard to switch teams midseason and contribute. I mean, you didn't get like Hopkins to the Chiefs. Okay, you had to play here, there. It wasn't big. It wasn't integral. Integral? Yeah, nailed it. It wasn't – you can't not go through camp and join midseason and be – And be old. Yeah, and be old.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yeah. I'm not sure he broke all those things.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Chris Godwin we all have returning to the Buccaneers yeah I think we've talked about it before but the injury that he suffered I think will price him back to the Bucs wild card for him for me would be the Cowboys that you mentioned with Amari Cooper that'd be a good because I do think the Cowboys like I didn't have them as one of my predictions for these guys and there aren't a lot of great wider like they'd be a trade candidate the Cowboys got to figure some stuff out on the offensive side would they trade for Tolbert
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I feel like Al took advantage of you. Yes, 100%.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Oh. Didn't they trade like a fourth or something? I don't think it was that much, was it? Kyle, do you remember? Oh, Mingo. Not Tolbert. I'm sorry. Thank you, Mingo. Jonathan Mingo. Tolbert just was their own player that's fine. Mingo and Tolbert are fine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
But we're not talking tight ends because there ain't nothing to talk about, really.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I think they said Tyler Conklin's not going back to the Jets. You care about that? No.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All right, let's do a little mailbag. Mailbag. Mailbag. All right, Instagram question from Mike says, in a dynasty league, would you rather have Devontae Smith or T. Higgins? Which I think is a pretty interesting question there. It might depend on whether you believe T. Higgins is going to sign a long-term deal with the Bengals, which is not a guarantee, but I think it's going to happen.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
All of our answers are the same.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I said it slowly. The website, we had a question, is Isaiah Pacheco a buy low candidate for the 2025 sweepstakes? Says thank you. You guys rock. I think we talked about him a little bit on the footcast. Maybe it was on the main show. But I think we're all pretty afraid that they're going to take one of these meaningfully talented running backs in the draft.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
You don't mind it?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I think Pacheco.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yep, so everybody that pre-ordered it, everybody that's a member of the Ultimate tier at jointhefoot.com was entered, and Jay Rego with the win. So congratulations, you'll be part of the Listener League. We'll do a couple other giveaways, obviously, as we head towards the season with more Listener League spots available, and you can get the UDK at ultimatedraftkit.com. Quick question of the day.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It's tough because Pacheco was so important. And so valuable. Right, but he was... But then his final year rookie deal on the injury and didn't come back and play well.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
I love this question here. Tommy Reed writes in on Instagram, who makes you more optimistic for Brock Bowers? Veteran quarterback or rookie quarterback?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yeah, but what if you said, you know, Aaron Rodgers or Shador Sanders? Because veteran quarterback that's not Darnold, what if Russell Wilson or –
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
The hard part there is obviously, I think you guys are right. I think in a one-year redraft scenario, that is 100% true. But if you're a Brock Bowers dynasty manager, do you hope that they make the move for their future now to try to get that stabilized?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
He's going to play as well as he could possibly play with what he's got, and it's going to be pretty good for fantasy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Right, and he was outstanding. But some more touchdowns would be cool. Mm-hmm. All right, that is going to do it for today's show. We've got 10 things to remember on the Thursday episode, so don't miss that one. And then the free agent frenzy begins next week, next Tuesday.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
We'll already have some news about that tampering period before free agency, and we'll have some answers as to who wins the free agency predictions this year. So if you want to get into the action, the Dynasty Pass available now, ultimatedraftkit.com, hit the UDK Plus, or join our community at jointhefoot.com. We'd love to have you. Take care. Goodbye.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
It's just a carry-on of what you just said. I already did it. Were there any other reactions, or is there a player, too?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
The smallest since 99? And he ran...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
We were begging for years and continue to beg about 40-yard dashes in pads. The truth is we've bypassed the need for that completely because our on-the-field advanced analytics allow us to see how fast the player actually is. These teams should not need to see a guy go out at all and do a 40. You should just be able to watch the film. Now, there are some cases, right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
You don't play a lot or maybe you didn't have a breakaway opportunity. And, yes, we'd want to see some of that on film for the 40. But you have so much more data. And this is why you said it's being devalued or its impact, the amount of players that participate. Maybe some other players can shine by stepping out and being in that 99th percentile athlete score in the Combine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
But you have so much film and so much data that you gather from the collegiate ranks now that the decisions are not being made on the back of the Combine alone.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
We had a trade. We were with our NFL free agency prediction show today. I had said, hey, we should probably throw a couple names out there that we predict trade destinations because there's some players that were very obviously going to be traded. One of those names was Debo Samuel, and I am. I predict Washington. Oh, you beat me. The commanders as well. You beat me to it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Fifth round pick for Debo Samuel. So a new home for Debo. It's a weird one. Somehow, this is my take on it, and I really want to hear how you think it will translate for fantasy in maybe one year in Washington. But I kind of feel like both sides are kind of fine here. Yeah. The 49ers needed to move on. He wanted to move on. They got a fifth-round pick.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
He's been declining in a lot of key metrics for four straight years. The Commanders, they could use a veteran presence outside of Terry McLaurin. They could use a guy that's good in short area space. They were a high-screen game team. Whether Debo's the Debo we saw in 2021, which he's not, right, a 1,400-yard guy, he can still bring something to the table in Washington that they didn't have.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
So I, you know... I don't know if I see this as either team losing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Does he represent any negative effects on McLaurin more than people being excited about Debo?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
He might not even be on this team. I mean, Diana Rossini reporting that teams have expressed an interest in trading for Ayuk, which fits the kind of narrative that there's not a lot of great instant effect type of guys coming out. So is it a Brandon Ayuk or Metcalf that draw a team's interest if you need a veteran presence? T. Higgins is off the board. He signed his franchise tag.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Or was assigned the franchise tag. Let me rephrase it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
Yeah, and like Jason said, Ayuk might not be there for a while, but he's at least a player that could be a dominator. Yeah, he will be back eventually. We don't know if Pearsall is just a role player type of wide receiver at the next level.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Free Agent Predictions + Deebo Trade, Combine Chat - Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4
And Kittle. Oh, Kittle for sure. And all the tantalizing opportunities to draft Christian McCaffrey. Not at number one.

Matthew Stafford and the Rams agreed to a restructured contract for him to remain with the team, which is also the case for Tyler Higbee remaining with the team. I thought Stafford would be gone. I was wrong. It moved quickly. It went from a lot of momentum towards a split to a lot of momentum that he was going to stay, and then suddenly the deal was done.

Pretty normal, but it had been going up. We talked about this going into this season. It went from 64% to 67%, 68%, 71%, and now it reverted a little bit more. So, I mean, it's always a pendulum in the NFL. As teams start adjusting to one thing, you go back and forth.

really yeah that that is shocking because he's you know he's a deep downfield guy who's had monstrous performances over and over so is I mean it's interesting that this year he had so many massive performances obviously towards the end of the year that I think they were trying to once he got back from the injury they're trying to force him the ball a

Being 32 with a new coordinator, they'll probably bring another wide receiver in, whether that's bringing Chris Godwin back or replacing him in the draft or free agency. I don't think Mike Evans will. He's at the stage of his career where there's usually only two truths. Either he's lost it, right? They're like, you're going to hold the bag and, okay, this was the end.

Oh, yeah. Or he's going to be undervalued in drafts. He's going to be a really good, you know, because... Those are the only two. Those are the only two. You're just not going to have him be drafted high enough to what he deserves. So I think he'll be a good value. I do not believe a 32... Yeah, I would say he'll be in the fourth round. I could see him maybe even fall to the fifth.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Two, because it coincided with the quarterback change. I think that was the biggest. As soon as Jameis took over, we wanted Cedric Tillman. We wanted Elijah Moore. We wanted Jerry Judy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Yeah, so you would throw these players in. It was nice that the— And then Thelma got hurt.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
You weren't sure how much was the quarterback change versus how much was Amari Cooper being gone because obviously those didn't happen at the exact same moment. I will say this. If you were to take the first six weeks away from Jerry Judy, that's when Amari Cooper was on the roster. And just look at the season as a total— From week seven on, and it didn't start great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Week seven was one of his worst games of the season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Even including that week, the whole season for Jerry Judy minus Amari Cooper, he was the wide receiver 13 in consistency, in our consistency metric.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
That is part of... They are picking second. Yeah. The Miles Garrett news is really good news for David Njoku, for Jerry Judy, for the fantasy implications of the Cleveland Browns. We don't know who the quarterback's going to be. That's going to be the major deciding factor for how Jerry Judy is viewed next year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
But I do think he comes into this... I mean, they re-signed him, so he's under contract through till 2027. uh, with the Browns. He's their clear man. Now, uh, their, their primary wide receiver and he looked good. Like he, you know, we've waited way too long. And so it feels like, I don't know. We know who Jerry Judy is. We know he's, he's an average guy or Steve Smith would say he's just a guy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Oh yeah. Put him in a body bag for sure. And so, you know, it's a little skeptical. I'm a little hesitant to just completely buy in because we've had a lot of years of him being just average. But what he did this year was above average. And I'm not just talking in the counting stats. He was open.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
His route running, his yards after catch, they looked like kind of what you were drafting this guy for. So... If they figure out anything with the quarterback, and they got the number two pick, I mean, they could very easily end up with the first quarterback in the draft.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, no, that's a fair comp. He'll probably go near him in the draft. You do have to keep in mind Cedric Tillman looked like the dude. Yeah, he looked like a good player. And then he got the concussion that I still question whether – I mean, we don't have any inside knowledge. It was obviously – it's never good when a player takes, you know, a month off from a concussion. More than a month.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
He missed six games. And so you worry a little bit. However, the context of the situation – was they were out of it. They were totally out of the running. They're playing more for a draft pick than anything else. So rushing him back didn't make much sense.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
That is amazing. The first seven weeks, he was on a yardage pace of 750 yards over the course of a season. From that week eight point on, he was on a yardage pace of over 1,500 yards, literally double the yardage. They figured something out. I mean, this just makes sense. First of all, we talked about this on The Truth of Justin Herbert.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
The team started completely running the ball, not letting Justin Herbert throw, and then as the season went along, they realized what they had in Herbert, and this is his team. They let him throw a little bit more, and Ladd's a really good football player. This is a player that we all liked a lot coming into the season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
We just weren't sure if the opportunities were going to be there in the passing game for the offense. It seems like they will be.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
That feels really... That's spicy. That feels risky considering that this team is clearly an asset short in the receiving game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
I guess we've got a new award winner.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Right. So I would imagine whether maybe it's a tight end. Maybe it's a premium pass catching tight end. Maybe it's T. Higgins. Yeah, maybe T. Higgins. But it definitely seems like... We don't know yet. This is TBD on what the pecking order is next year.

Ladd McConkie, if they bring in someone really good, that person will, I think, leapfrog McConkie from a volume perspective, even if it's not from a talent perspective, just from the size, stature, and style of play that McConkie has.

Yeah, Brown for sure.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, I mean, the second half of the year, first of all, the Philly defense got better and better as the season went along. You know, they had a couple of rookie corners in there that just, you know, like a lot of these rookie wide receivers, go figure. They get better as the season goes along. And that happened. And as that happened and they had more leads –
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Saquon took over this was you know it's funny to think like this is Saquon's team like in one year all of a sudden this is Saquon Barkley's team when you've got Jalen Hurts AJ Brown and Devontae Smith for a running back to come in and just be like you know it's not Derrick Henry's team. You know, it's Lamar Jackson's team. But this is Saquon Barkley's team.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
And so that's where I think in the second half of the year and going into next season, like you said, Andy, it works. Not for fantasy, but it works in winning ballgames, which is what they care about. The passing game, the total passing stats are going to be down if they're winning ballgames, if they've got good defense, and if Saquon is healthy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

A.J.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Brown? When push comes to shove and you see the names next to each other, he'll be very high. He'll be the back of the first round.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
I will probably be on the Drake London side. I think ADP will still have A.J. Brown.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah. Right now he finishes the wide receiver 14, but he missed three weeks. So he was a wide receiver one on the season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
And that's not even counting the games he missed in the first half of the year. Our consistency metric only scores you for the games that you started. And so it was worse than that, and he was 46. But the second half of the year,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
really clicked in this offense it worked with you know being on the other side of Justin Jefferson and he looked really special I mean over and over there were plays where I did feel like I was watching the game I remember towards the end of the year in certain situations where I was rooting for Justin Jefferson and the ball would fly down the field and you're just thinking oh is that going to Jefferson and there it would look just like Jefferson coming open like wide open and then it's just a smaller version and it's Jordan Addison
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, losing Kirk Cousins and being 175 pounds, you do not expect high touchdown volume.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Right. It feels like like I think that the player is very, very good. But for where he finished and where he might be drafted compared to how it comes, I'm going to be scared. So the truth to me of Jordan Addison is I'm worried because you still don't know the quarterback either.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
That feels right. I would love to take him at 28 because there's – I'm fine with 28. You know, this is a very inconsistent player, but when you get to this range of wide receivers – All of them, we say this every year, but they're all inconsistent. No one here is just like, oh, really high floor never has bad games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
I want the guys in this range that, okay, you're going to have bad games because all of them are going to have bad games. Which one could go out there and be the wide receiver one on a week, the wide receiver three on a week? And he obviously did that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah. The first month of the season was disaster for the Bengals. The Bengals got off to a bad start. Joe Burrow started a little slow. T Higgins was injured the first two weeks. The next two weeks coming back was not good. Uh, didn't get 10 fantasy points for the first month of the season. So I think we were like your mind being blown right now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
If you didn't have T Higgins and you didn't ride that experience later, um, you know, you started off really pessimistic about T. Higgins, and so if you didn't have him, that's why this episode exists, to make sure you know, like, he was really good. In the games he actually played in, he busted only 18% of the time. That is a very good number. He was 64% of the time good, 27% of the time great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
You know, Joe Burrow was magma, and obviously, Jamar Chase, number one wide receiver, gets all the love, but I don't think, A lot of people realize how good Tee Higgins was.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, it's definitely injury. I mean, injury is his problem. When he's out there playing and finishing games, because he has been known to exit games early, if he's playing, he's good. And so we just can't actually predict injury. And there are lots of players who have the injury-prone label who buck it. And then the next thing you know, they're Ironmen for a couple seasons. So
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
I'm not going to hold the injuries against it. Yes.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4

Oh, my goodness.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Well, yeah, I mean, the truth is when he plays, he's good, and he doesn't play too often, and that stinks. But I'm not going to try to draft a guy based on knowing future injuries. Instead, I'm going to draft a guy. He averaged 15.5 fantasy points per game this season in half PPR. And if you don't know where that ranks, Justin Jefferson, who was number two on the season, was 15.6 fantasy points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
It's basically the same.

This episode is brought to you by BetterHelp. Let's talk flags for a moment, not the kinds the refs pull on the field. I'm talking about something else.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Well, and this is an offense you want pieces of. This was the number one offense in the NFL. They were number three the last time. Obviously, they're going to have an offensive coordinator shift, and that could hurt them, but that could also help Jamison Williams be utilized more as a primary wide receiver, too. This is a guy who still only caught 58 passes this year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
So even though his consistency was okay because he had the big plays, you know, over 1,000 yards, he wasn't, you know, the possession, regular, consistent, high-volume type of player that you wish he could be like a Jalen Waddell a couple of years ago because that Amon Ross soaks all that up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
So it's possible that that changes here in his favor, but I do think going into next year, everyone's going to assume the Lions are a very good offense. They've still got a great offensive line. and a lot of continuity between the players, even though you've got a coaching change.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4

So Jameson Williams stepped up, showed that he can be a legitimately important fantasy asset and a legitimately impactful lion for their team. So you have to imagine it. It sticks and it stays if it doesn't even just get better.

I'm going to be in on Jamison Williams. No matter what Kyle says.

Kyle really hates him. Kyle just despises Jamison Williams.

What does that mean?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
It certainly seems like he will be their wide receiver one next year. They've got a lot of other holes to replace. They've got to fix the running game. I... Sorry, sorry. I don't. You just don't. You fill the hole. You fill the hole.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
That's fair. That's interesting. So the ultimate draft kit.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
This is ridiculous. This is so mean. It's so brilliant. I'm so proud of you guys right now. Oh. Oh, gosh darn it. Welcome to the show, Jason. Oh, I'm so red. Oh, you are.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
With another hole? That's what it sounds like.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I don't know.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, man. You can't tell, but it's a new hole. You said replace the hole. um so the ultimate draft kit uh the the dynasty portion of that it drops on sunday we're probably should have mentioned that while you were gone earlier yeah we're you know we're working on all of um that content right now and our dynasty startup rankings will be live so if you're an ultimate foot clan member
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
You already have access to that on Sunday. Our dynasty startup rankings, rookie rankings, those type of stuff will launch. But I bring all that up to say Cortland Sutton was the hardest player for me to figure out where to put in a dynasty league. because he's 29 years old. I do expect next year he is their wide receiver one. How much improvement or regression for Bo Nix on a touchdown?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
He had eight touchdowns this year, which is a pretty good number, especially for a rookie. And so it's like, okay, I think he's got one more good year. but eventually they're going to have to step it up, add to this wide receiver core.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
I don't either.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Yeah, they need a running back bad. Sean Payton really wants to have a running game, and it's impossible. You just can't.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
There's going to be some contract problems here, too. He's going into the last year of his deal. He wanted to get an extension this last year, couldn't get it done, so I don't know if you're going to have hold-in, trade requests, whatever. I don't know that the Broncos are wanting to extend the 29-year-old wide receiver for a long time. Breaking news.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Oh my gosh. Well, so let me tell you something. I don't know what you guys talked about. Not much. But I'm, you know, right before the show. Yeah. Mike's not in here yet. Wally gagging lazy man. I was getting ready for the show. And I'm thinking, man, I knew something. There were some problems in the tummy. And I was like, I'm going to go ahead and take care of business now.

Puka. I'll take... In a redraft... What was that? It was me immediately wanting to say... It was a creaky door. I wanted to say Puka right off the bat, but I'm also remembering... Like, I had a hard time with these two guys in Dynasty. I think Puka is the better player. I think he will be better for Fantasy as well.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
But long-term, one of them's tied to CJ Stroud, and one of them's tied to a player that could retire any minute. So...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
And fantasy. And Puka, during the 10 games he played after getting injured in week one, coming back, he was 16.1 fantasy points per game. So that would have been the wide receiver two ahead of Justin Jefferson.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
In a redraft league, I don't have any hesitation to take Puka over Nikko. It's just in a dynasty league that's a question mark. Nikko was unbelievably great in the beginning of the year. However, he had a handful of disappearing games down the stretch once he came back from injury. Whether that was Stroud, whether that was Nikko, whether it was just the losses of Diggs and Tank Dell forcing...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
you know, defensive coverage on Nico. Whatever it was, it happened, and it happened more than we would have liked. Like you said, the second half consistency for Nico, he was the 27th most consistent one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4
Probably not the biggest bust. Not injury-based. But he's – He's a bigger bust than Etienne is. I think he is the biggest disappointment because Tyree Kill, when you were – I mean, Tyree Kill in some leagues was the 101. I mean, a lot of times it was, are you afraid of Christian McCaffrey? Well, then play it safe. Play it safe. Get Tyree Kill.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: WRs Part 2 + Where’s Jason? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/4

Does the wrist injury... Do you buy it? I do not buy it because he played 17 games. However, let's take a closer look at weeks 8 through 16. That's when Tua came back, and that was 100% of the time playing with Tua. During that stretch of games, he was averaging 12.1 fantasy points. Yes, it's not terrible. He would have had a season-long 1,020 yards. 9.4 touchdowns. It's not terrible.

It's certainly not worthy of the first or second pick in a draft.

I'm very curious where Tyreek Hill is drafted. Early under, I'm sorry, best ball, wide receiver 17th? Oh, wow. I thought I think in redraft leagues, he might go higher than that simply because of the name.

Relationships take effort, and if you want to make things work, I'd suggest therapy. It's a great tool that can help you navigate all sorts of relationship problems.

It's like, well, that doesn't make sense. Why would you do that? I mean, Lucas, and I can't stand Lucas. He's a big, fat baby. Yes. Emphasis on the fat. But he's 25 years old. He's 20. He is a generation. He's a top five talent in the NBA who is with whatever franchise. He is the face of whatever franchise for a decade. And those guys don't get traded. You can't acquire those guys.

And here's the craziest part. If one of those caliber players were to ever get traded, the amount of haul that they would – I mean, you put that on the – you go to your general manager group chat and you just say, hey, guys, I'm thinking about – Guess what? Yeah, I'm thinking about putting Luka out there. You're going to have 31 offers in minutes.

This is awesome. I'm really... a little bit confused as to the pairing between Pete Carroll and Chip Kelly. I mean, obviously two historically great collegiate head coaches, um, getting together, but you know, Pete Carroll's been a defense and, and, and run the ball type of head coach and Chip Kelly is, is a fast pace, a no huddle, a high scoring, great plays.

I mean, in his few years, and he didn't have great quarterback play when he was a head coach or when he was with San Francisco or Philly. And you're talking about top five in rushing offenses, in points. He had some really good things for fantasy football. So I was really hoping this cycle would have Chip Kelly back into an offensive coordinator position.

No, because the Ravens are 18-point favorites. Right, right. And they could win literally with their hands tied behind their back against the Browns. Maybe Jalen Waddle will come back.

All things come back to groinindex.com. The Bills are the number two seed. Josh Allen has a consecutive game streak. He'll start and be out quickly in that game. The old Cal Ripken. Mm-hmm.

Atlanta really needs to win because Tampa needs to lose. Tampa needs to win to clinch. Detroit, they're locked in. They're playing Minnesota for the number one seed next week. Everybody will be playing on both sides. That's the biggest over-under we've seen in quite a while. I think it's 57. Washington's locked in. They'll be the six or seven seed. Green Bay, same situation.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
The Rams are locked in. They will be the three or four seed. And, yeah, so Atlanta, Tampa, big games for both of those teams. And the AFC, Baltimore's locked in. They need to win to clinch the three seed in the division. They have to play the Browns. They will play their starters for a while. But I imagine that game, if it gets out of hand, they'll bench them in the second half.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31

Chargers are locked into the playoffs, battling for their wild card spot. Denver, Cincinnati, Miami all battling for playoff spots. Right? So those are the big teams with the big opportunities. Broncos, they're winning, and if they win, they're in. Cortland Sutton has 82 receiving yards that he needs for an additional 500 grand.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I don't agree.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
Because that happens only in games that are of non-consequential situations. It doesn't happen in games where it's, if you lose this game, you don't make the playoffs. They're not worried about a player's incentives for Denver trying to make the playoffs. They just need to win the game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
that's what I'm saying yeah so it's a game of consequence I'm saying they don't pay attention to incentives in games like this because they need to win the ball game so it's not about the individual players incentives in these games they will focus it's about it's about winning the game if they do it with three yards for Corlin Sutton they won't care that's what I'm saying I agree but my point is let's say through the game you're in the fourth quarter and he's got 60 yards

FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
It was a 0% chance last year. It's at least a 10% chance now. Don't underestimate the return of Adam Thielen and the factor that that was in Bryce Young's success over the back half of the year. Adam Thielen has been available, performing, constantly scoring, even with Leggett hurt and other players hurt.

His opponent had Debo Laporta and Gibbs, none of whom had scored in the first half. And all three in succession scored in the second half to just eviscerate Mike's soul.

Yeah. Yeah. Al, that's at producer Borland for those that want to send their congratulations. I know. I think everyone in the world was rooting for you. And, you know, they have the saying, act like you've been there before. He hasn't. He doesn't know how to act.

Hey, Al. This is Nathan, Andy's son and League of Record co-owner. I may have lost the championship to you, but to be honest, a better man won. You may not be my dad, but you're my hero.

FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
Why would he do that? He's the one that should have rejected Dean.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
Yeah, he had an end-around run on a drive he had not been out there the entire drive. Only, I think, because... 100%. Because George Kittle came off the field injured after a big catch. Yes. And the personnel grouping had to change. But yes, Mike, for those of you out there that didn't win, you have a friend. I'm dead. You have Mike and I, who both won last year.

Besides trophies and other championship swag, do you fellas have a tradition or ritual that when you take home a fantasy title? In our office, we got shelves with the rings, the fantasy championship rings. I've got a banner that I hang up for draft day. Mike has one. Jason has one.

uh mike had a uh rg3 oh yeah uh like mural really yeah um but there you go uh bobby macarthur where do brian thomas and brock bowers go in next year's redraft leagues to me they are both bowers will be a one two turn player he'll be right at the end of the first round I think Thomas is right there, too. I do. I think they're right next to each other.

FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
Next year, we enter a new phase in the fantasy tight end universe. It's called Bowers or McBride. That's the new era. It's not Andrews and Kelsey. It's not Gronk and Kelsey. It's Bowers, McBride.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
That will happen. CMC will come back and Iuke will come back. All the reasons.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
Both were back in the title games and both lost our repeat opportunities.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
They might have more after the draft.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
That one felt – like it was – All I could think of was that you will forever have the answer. Yeah, I do. You'll have the answer to the question we get asked, which is what is your worst championship game memory or worst playoff defeat or worst defeat, any of those.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
That'll be something that you'll have to factor in. Bowers – They will have a new quarterback.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
You're telling me that there's no world where you take McBride next year with Bowers – No, no. No, I am. Is McBride a first-round pick then?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
He's not going to Laporta. I get that. It's funny. Laporta and Andrews were very similar this year. The starts of the seasons and the ends were very different. I completely agree with the fact that he's not going to Laporta. He's a PPR guy. But I do wonder, because Bowers and McBride are together, the times that we saw Gronk and Kelsey go in the first round,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
as high as five or six was because they were kind of alone. They were alone. Yeah. And so I think that puts Bowers and McBride more in the mid second round range.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
I think that's what, well, because if I were going into the draft, genuinely, I would just take the cheaper one. Sure. I mean, it's not like McBride and Bowers. What's the, what's the reception difference between them? I mean, 108 versus 100 or something like that?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
If you take the midpoint of the season, McBride's pace is 143 receptions. Whew. Bowers' pace is 123. So both of them have even been stronger in the second half of the year, and McBride will score in the future if you want to look at that positive regression narrative.

Um, last one here. Jonathan wants to know, I'm thinking about my keepers. Jalen hurts. Do I move on to Jaden Daniels? He has both on the roster. I had to ask this one. It's like a great question to set the table for an off season of shows where these type of questions will be popping up. I would rather have Jaden Daniels going forward.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
I will lean Daniels by a hair. Fantasy points per game this year, 25.1 to 23.4. There's always the opportunity for a rookie to get better.

And he almost did several times. Yes. There are a lot of people that were on the other side of the Gibbs situation last night that won titles on the back of Jameer Gibbs.

Because, you know, you had a lot of really spectacular records. The record for the winner was 22 and 10. So got to the got to the playoffs. Two hundred and forty points.

All right, I'm going to blitz the news. We have other segments on today's show? Unfortunately. We have waivers and stuff. I can't wait. Gross. Brock Purdy left with an elbow injury. Dude. It's not great heading into contract time. No. He's had this issue twice now. Well, he had the- UCL, right? I thought it was. It was the UCL.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
FootClan Titles + Owl Hoots, Week 18 Waivers & Motivation - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/31
He had UCL, and then I guess the UCL is okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And he's a good quarterback and deserves a contract.

Part two of the quarterbacks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
I was going to say, some were not predictable. Marcus Mariota did it twice while not playing a full game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
But it's kind of there to highlight the reality that there's contributions well beyond the prototypical starting options. Just so you remember from last episode, what we're doing is we're looking at their fantasy finish and we're contrasting it with their consistency.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
And we're evaluating consistency on the basis of how many great games did they have, 26 or more points, how many good games, 21 points or more, and how many bust games, so you're over 15. And so under 50, sorry. Yes. Under 15. Kyler came in at 11 in the fantasy finish. He was drafted as the quarterback eight.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
He is one of the Mount Rushmore of busts to me this year because of the, you took them in a spot where he needed to be your guy. and he wasn't quite bad enough to let you pivot off when you should have and not quite good enough to win you games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
We're getting to the point now where Kyler, he'll give you a Jay Cutler game, right? He'll give you the big performance from time to time. But we're at the point now where the excuses are... We're running out of excuses for Kyler. Oh, all he needs... is a top-tier wide receiver option. So let's draft Marvin Harrison that you can't turn into one. Trey McBride, best tight end in football maybe.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
That's not enough. You can't throw for 4,000 yards. You can't 21 touchdowns. didn't run the football when he needed to. You know, you talk about what Jaden Daniels does well. He picks his spots to run, and he always picks the right spot, it seems like. Only 13% great games. That's a departure from the Kyler Murray we've seen before. 38% good, 44% bust.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
You know, him as a running quarterback, over 500 yards rushing, you're always going to have the ceiling possibility, but that is part of the drug, right? It's like... I just need a little bit.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
People will know. I think Jason made kind of the point on Kyler that should be seen what the truth is, is he never became a better passer this year. His good games were when he ran. It wasn't like sometimes you got a great passing game. Do you know he had 12 games with two or fewer touchdowns, and most of those were zero or one? He only had a three-touchdown game early in the year,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
And then he had week 18 when no one cared and he threw four touchdowns. Otherwise, you literally didn't get anything in the passing game that you expected from him. 21 touchdowns. You know, it's a really, really disappointing year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
I feel really good about that now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Yeah, I think that's his story. So we'll take a quick break, and we'll jump back into some more names.

The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
But I can't tell you how much I'm looking forward to Buffalo, Kansas City. Very much. I re-watched the epic... Oh, the comeback? Every time I watch that, I'm still blown away by the reality of it where they throw a touchdown pass... And there's 13 seconds left on the clock for the Chiefs. And they give up two plays. You know, you stop one or you make one short. It's over. There's no chance.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
All right. Done with Kyler. Moving on to number 12 on our list. Brock Purdy, consistency rank was higher than his fantasy finish. He was eighth in consistency, seventh in the first half, twelfth in the second half. I feel like Brock Purdy did the best he could do this year. I am in complete agreement. No Brandon Ayuk, no Christian McCaffrey for almost all year. And you know what I'm going to say?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
No Debo. Yep. Not really. 47% good, 40% bust. He will always be fringe. Ran for 323 yards. That's nice. Five touchdowns on the ground. But all the injuries to the offensive line, even left tackle, right? You talk about protecting Brock Purdy. I think he did the most with what he had in an absolute trash season for the 49ers.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
You do wonder, you know, the offseason is going to be a commitment of money to Brock Purdy. Yeah. It's also the last small window for Christian McCaffrey in the NFL. So you do wonder if some of the identity of this offense could change over time. They gave Brandon Ayuk that money. He'll be back. So that would be something to watch. Justin Herbert came in at 13.

And what I like about it is I can wear it, it looks casual, and then I can play some pickleball in those things. It's a performance jogger. It looks great. It's perfect for the low-impact workouts, or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too. Or maybe you're doing some yoga or some stretching, or even sitting at the desk in the studio.

The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Justin Herbert never had a great game. No games of over 26 points. The story for him, 504 pass attempts. This was a guy that had almost 700 two years ago. He finished 13 in consistency as well. This was not a fantasy-relevant guy, but this was a player that you saw the transition over the second half of the year where

The fact they won.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Their neutral pass rate, yards per game, EPA per pass, explosive pass plays, they all went up tremendously from week six on. So you saw the writing on the wall. I said the entire year. The Chargers were a team that was a couple players away to me. A difference maker a little bit more in the running game, I think, than J.K. Dobbin. Somebody that can catch the ball would have meant a lot.

And then another prolific wide receiver option or tight end option. I don't care which one. Whatever they take, you know, Ladd-McConkie, Quentin Johnson, if you want them to be your guys, then you need a more prolific tight end and a more prolific pass-catching running back. You're right on the edge, I think, but you do know

I... Full turn. Yeah, I don't want to always go with kind of the mob mentality when it comes to, oh, the referees, and oh, look, we should appreciate greatness and all this stuff. Like, no. They're really annoying. Like, Patrick Mahomes dives. He's flopped.

Caleb Williams at 14, consistency of 16. This was not the dream season you would have hoped for. Head coaching change. You know, 68 sacks taken, most in the NFL. 19% great, 31% good, 56% bust, not relevant for fantasy. There was a small moment, I remember, during the season after weeks five and six, going into the bye, coming out against Washington, who their defense hadn't really stepped up yet.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Mm-hmm. That Week 8 game was the defining moment to me of Caleb Williams' season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
He took a million sacks. He put the Sam Darnold playoff performance into routine. He was pressured like crazy. He was 69% catchable target rate. So 44 out of 47 quarterbacks. So that's your red alert. That was your like, hey, you're not, you got to do a lot more at the NFL level than extending a play and making a wild across your body throw and highlight throw.

What are your odds with Ben Johnson and all the history in Chicago of quarterback struggles? Only 3,500 yards. Didn't break that 4,000 mark this year. What do you put the odds of it working with Ben Johnson and Caleb Williams? On one hand, you could have that perfect coach, offensive mind, play calling. It could all work out.

Number 15. Dave. Number 15, Geno Smith, 22 in consistency, tells you everything you need to know about him as a fantasy quarterback, which was, that's not good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
How was he only 16 over the first half? Because, well, I mean, it was a rough year for Geno Smith. He had 21 passing touchdowns, and four of them came.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Like I said, I mean, 17 touchdowns going into week 18.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
He set a career high in completion percentage. He's 34 years old. I am of the more pessimistic side of what Geno Smith brings to the table. I think he's very capped. I think I will not be enthusiastic about their passing situation with DK Metcalf in particular. Obviously, you saw Jason get it done kind of ties in with that completion percentage.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
But, you know, it's starting to look more like 2022 was a very outlier type of year for Gino Smith. He had 30 touchdowns in 2022. The last two years, 20 and 21. And so that's you know, that's just not a fantasy relevant guy. That's a two quarterback guy.

Okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Yeah, where's the data, Jason?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
So, yeah, the risk-benefit analysis on Aaron Rodgers bringing him into your team. Let's talk about the next man up, though, in Green Bay, Jordan Love. This was one of the bigger storylines. You talk about Kyler and him letting you down in relation to your draft capital. Jordan Love comes in at 17 in fantasy finish, 15th in consistency, was drafted as the quarterback 10 in the seventh round.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
So you did think that... There was a part of the season before I traded for Lamar Jackson in our League of Record where my tandem of quarterbacks was Kyler and Jordan Love, and I really thought, boy, these are going to be two guys in the second half of the season you can bounce back. Yeah, you can bounce back and forth between them for mediocre production.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Yeah, the attachment. You're saying there's so much weight on one side. That it just popped the other side off or what?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
This was, by the way, let me give you the data real quick. 7% great, 21% good, 43% bust. So that's a problem. This was a little bit like a Philadelphia light situation, though. We talked about what affected Jalen Hurts in our last Truth Series. This became Saquon's team. That's how winning happened. That was the Packers with Josh Jacobs. Like you said, that was how winning was happening.

And so you didn't need to use him as much.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
I think there'll be more balance. I think you're going to get, like if I had to predict the next five years of Jordan Love's career, I think you're going to get about three meaningful fantasy seasons in that group. But I don't think it's going to be one of those things where that's the only way they win football games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21

As does this guy. 19 is C.J. Stroud. This was more catastrophic by far. This was worse than the Kyler one. Oh, yeah, because he was in the fourth round. Fourth round, C.J. Stroud. Part of the story was the rookie season. Let's build on it. So keep that in mind, all of you rookies, Bo Nix and Jaden Daniels and Caleb. It doesn't always get better. The other part of the story was, okay, we paid.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
We paid our guy, right? We paid Nico Collins. We brought in Stefan Diggs, and we've got Tinkdale going into the sophomore season. And they also won football games. So I'll give them credit there, but zero great games. 6% good, which means that this is a guy who busted 63% of the time. So 63% of the time, you're under 15 points. And all the rest, basically, you're under 21.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Yeah, I'm not worried that Stroud will be. I think three out of the next five years, DJ Stroud will be very relevant for fantasy. He had major injuries to the wide receiver position. I thought he played really great down the stretch. I thought the playoff game he played great with what he has, the slowest man on earth, Dalton Schultz running up the middle of the field.

Here's the future of Anthony Richardson. That's going to happen. He's either going to be a starting quarterback, and if he is, he will be relevant for fantasy football from time to time, if not all the time. Or he will not be a starting quarterback. I agree.

Five to ten VR all the time. Burn them out. Last name I want to talk about because I know Jason wants to talk about it. So Bryce Young, who came in as the 25th ranked quarterback, 18th in consistency, 29th in the first half, lost his job. Second half, 14th, showed some flashes. Yeah. It was interesting to see at the end of the year. I don't know if Dave Canales figured something out.

I don't know if it was a softer schedule. I don't know if the game slowed down for real for Bryce Young. I think it did. But it gives you some hope. When we're talking fantasy, it's not always about will you start Bryce Young next year. It's about can you start his wide receivers? Can you start a running back because they're going to be in the red zone?

I'm sure there's other quarterbacks and teams using this. I think it comes down to just people can't explain what he's doing. And it comes from hard work, whether he's doing the VR or showing up early, whatever the case may be, he's been working his butt off.

Yeah, and you have – why should your tight ends have to run clear out routes? You're going to be exhausted at that position of the game. You need more players. Look, Lamar could have played better. Lamar missed Derrick Henry down the left sideline. That would have been a guaranteed touchdown early in the game. You know, it's always a play or two. It's not generally, like, catastrophic failure.

And three turnovers to zero? Yeah, you lost. Same with Detroit.

Well, the Bears did hire Ben Johnson as their new head coach. Okay. Best you could do. It was a mad dash to see who could get Ben Johnson. Jacksonville wanted him bad. The Raiders wanted him bad. Cowboys were like, nah, we're good, man.

The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Yeah, Brian Schottenheimer.

Ben Johnson goes to Chicago. He is prepared to bring in Jason's favorite head coach of all time, Dennis Allen, as their defensive coordinator. That's fine. He's fine as defensive coordinator. And the Colts hired Lou Anarumo as their D.C., longtime Bengal D.C., who had a... You know, a great run. Had a Super Bowl run with a good defense there.

No, they have the dyes that accentuate the gray.

Touch of gray. He could be a touch of gray guy. D'Amico Ryan says it's too early to put a timeline on whether Tank Dell can even play in 2025. Oh, brutal. You know, I want to give a lot of credit to Houston going into Arrowhead. They were actually in a position to compete. They moved to football, and it was a couple plays, you know, and what else is new for the Chiefs?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
Or the refs.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: QBs Part 2 + Deep Dives, Pendulum Swings - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/21
And then we had Cooper Kopp, who was basically deleted from the offense over the last quarter of the season. Quartile? I've seen that word used a lot. Last quartile of the season. Oh, we're fancy. And, you know, what was the word you used earlier? Villain something? Villainization or something. But Cooper Cupps said he plans to play next year, but not sure of his future with the Rams.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Does he really? Okay. That explains it. Well, now I feel bad. It was just an interesting, like you're watching it, and you're going, oh, that's odd.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Okay. All righty. We've got footy awards momentarily. We've got Vikings-Rams tonight, so we'll react to that on the Thursday show. We also got news. Mike Vrabel, the new head coach of the Patriots.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Mike McCarthy will not be remaining as head coach of the Cowboys. Dude, Cowboys. Jerry Jones has announced he is indeed the head coach. Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
no no and then you just hold on to this and then you're not the coach the Cowboys so the Bears haven't figured it out yet so I'm sure Mike McCarthy will get a shot there I can tell you go straight to another head coaching job I don't I don't know maybe I the reason I don't think it'll happen has nothing to do with what I think happened here I think what happened here is that Jerry Jones actually wanted Mike McCarthy back that's why this dragged out I think what happened is we've seen Mike McCarthy in the press conference we know what Mark McCarthy believes about himself what does he believe oh he's a winner he's a winner he has won a championship
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
And I think it came down to dollars and cents in those negotiations. And I think that's maybe why he won't get a job right away is because he has a value that he has imparted and he's convinced Jerry Jones to give him that at one point in time. Wanted it again.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
McCarthy?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
That used to be the place that the Cardinals always spent their lives. They'll pay big for Buddy Ryan before he was paying Dennis Green. The retread back to Arizona.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Well, that's what I was going to ask you. Like, if you... We can make fun of Jerry. Oh, I can and I will. Because he has put himself into a position where he is eligible for it. Yeah, and he won't know. Jerry Jones is a winner. But here's what I will bring up. Remember the 90s? He said he did not buy a team. He bought an occupation. That was his quote.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Because he chose to buy the Cowboys, and he wanted to do it for the rest of his life, which is his right. Yeah. Like, if I bought a team, I might want to be GM. I might not be good at it, but I probably would think next year I'll be good at it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Well, Deshaun Watson ruptured his Achilles again. Oh, man. He's now uncertain to play at all next year. Probably won't take another snap with the Browns if you're looking at the situation. Have you seen all the... I've seen the videos. All the chatter. He was seen on Instagram on a recent date without a boot on. Which could make him eligible to have those years voided.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
If he did not follow protocol that the team put out there for his Achilles recovery, it would have been under three months from surgery.

Apparently, we had a fan of the show. This is the true story. This is what happened. We had a fan of the show who offered, who makes 3D-printed trophies to send us a few trophies. He wanted to send one to Al. Congratulations. And to Brian Katcher and his co-manager, the biggest loser, a biggest loser trophy. And then he actually sent a trophy to the Falcon that has a toilet on it because, come on.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
And apparently, without telling me, he embedded in the middle of the 3D print a cricket device. What? And these guys had made up in their minds that I had secretly done this as a way to get back for you. Ruining my life on the show where my family came on here and congratulated you. Anyways, they had made up this whole story, and so that was getting back at us. He took the device out.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
They hid it in the rafters. He ordered more devices.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Mike knew instantly that something was wrong, too. He's like, that ain't a real cricket.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Well, I don't know if it was as loud for everybody out there, but the horns were hitting. All right, we've got the winners. We do not know the winners yet. Thank you to the thousands upon thousands of Foot Clan listeners that voted for this year's footy awards. I am going to kick this thing off. I'm so excited. I know, right here, right now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Now, do these, just so I know, since I haven't opened these yet. Do I read the nominees then open them? Correct. The nominees are not on here. Okay.

And what I like about it is I can wear it, it looks casual, and then I can go, I can play some pickleball in those things. It's a performance jogger. It looks great. It's perfect for the low-impact workouts or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too. Or maybe you're doing some yoga or some stretching or even sitting at the desk in the studio.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
All right. So the first award is the performance of the year, which single week performance was the most impressive on the year. Our nominees was Josh Allen's week 14 with 51.9 points. Saquon Barkley's week 12 had 44 points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Probably. I don't know. Probably, yeah. Alvin Kamara, 43 points in week two. Jonathan Taylor's week 16. Important playoff game. Jamar Chase in week 10 with 49.9 points. And Brock Bowers with 25.2 in week 13. And the winner. Are you going to be the drumroll guy? What do you want? I think I want you to be the drumroll guy. I'll be the drumroll guy. Rail him. The winner is... Josh Allen.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Okay, so this is all on Brooks if it comes crashing down. He's the only one that's gone through. I think if it goes crashing down, it would be on Jeremy. Performance of the year. Brooks has... Yeah, so we've got that. We've got a quick question. We've got some news. All of the games from the weekend, we'll talk about those briefly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Week 14, Josh Allen, 342-3 with three on the ground, 51.9 points, 44% of the vote.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
The runner-up was not far off. Jamar Chase.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
That was my vote too.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Jamar Allen. Jamar Chase was the runner-up with 35%, but Josh Allen takes home this year's Performance of the Year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
It's going to be who's the first one that wants to live dangerously. Right. So like eight. Yes, because there are big names that I can't imagine passing on to go to Christian McCaffrey.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Well, look, time, though. Injuries. All right, Mike, it's up to you.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
You know, the crazy thing about Travis ETN is that it did not... Like, the pants were poopy, right? Yeah. All year long. Oh, yeah. But nobody else did anything. What do you mean? I mean, like, it wasn't... If you wanted to tell me Rashad White's pants were poopy, I'd be like, all right. But Bucky Irving took over. Right. Oh, I see what you're saying.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
We're recording this episode just before the Monday night football game between the Rams and the Vikings, so we'll be able to share our feedback on that game, our reactions to that game out here in Arizona.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Travis Etienne's pants were poopy, and so were Tank Bigsby's pants. Tank Bigsby got involved.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Bigsby had 168. ETN, 150. Okay. So they kind of took over. It's just you didn't have somebody that like – like for him to be that bad with that draft capital and still not have somebody fantasy relevant in the backfield. I just thought that was interesting. Waiver Wire Wonder, which undrafted waiver wire stud was the best signing? This year's nominees, Baker Mayfield was awesome. Sam Darnold.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Jawan Jenangs. Jenangs. Darnell Mooney. He had a good run. Jonu Smith. Bucky Irving.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
The runner-up was actually Baker Mayfield at 27%. Bucky was my vote as well. When you get running back value late in the draft, it is a glorious thing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Yeah, it will be a Rams home game out here in Phoenix. Glendale, actually.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Oh, Christian McCaffrey won this last year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
All right, the Fantasy Wide Receiver of the Year. All of those factors considered. Big game performances, ADP, impact to fantasy teams. Last year was CeeDee Lamb. This year's nominees... Four names. Jamar Chase, drafted as the wide receiver four. Is that true?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Okay. Brian Thomas Jr., a ninth-round pick. Terry McLaurin in the late sixth. And Malik Nabors in the fourth round. Let me make sure I got the right envelope. The winner is... Unsurprisingly, but actually narrowly, Jamar Chase. Listen to this, 49% of the vote, but Brian Thomas Jr. coming in at 42%. Wow. Ain't no one like Terry McLaurin or Malik Nabors. No, so Jamar Chase takes it home.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
You know, I think part of that was how... Obviously, there's a pretty big three-round gap between Bowers and McBride, but McBride's performances were just steady for a while. No touchdowns. Yeah, Bowers were more impressive in terms of value.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Yes, not the way we would have wanted to get a home playoff game, certainly, with everything going on in Los Angeles, which thoughts and prayers out to everybody out there. Quick question of the day from Brenton. If you had to make a hot take right now for next season, What would it be? Why do we like hot takes so much? Because they're fun.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14

Interesting. Breakout player of the year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I think I voted for Brian Thomas. I think I voted for Brian Thomas as well. Let's see who the winner is.

Nice.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Well, look, here's another award that maybe Jaden Daniels could take home.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
I agree. All right. Rookie of the year. Puka Nakua took it home in 2023. Jaden Daniels, Brian Thomas, Malik Neighbors, Brock Bowers, and Bucky Irving. Undrafted Bucky Irving. The winner of the rookie of the year is... All right. They flip flop. Jaden Daniels. Oh, what? That makes 40 percent. And then Brian Thomas Jr. Twenty seven percent.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
I don't know, Mr. Chargers are going to win the Super Bowl.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

These are very subtle differentials, Mike.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Okay. He made an impact.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Before you announce it, I will say nobody got less publicity for playing great than George Kittle this year. I don't know if it was just like our eyes were not on San Francisco as much with the record and the performances. You know, this was the all-pro tight end. Yeah, he dominated. Trey McBride did not make the all-pro team because of George Kittle's performances this year. So there you go.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Yes, these are very heavy, dangerous, and heavy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
It looks smaller on the camera, but it's actually just one of those mirror things.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
All right, we have three awards left. I'm going to give you the winner of the Playoff Kings. So this is the – One player that drove fantasy managers to a championship game. Weeks 15 through 17, the best performances. Last year, Kyron Williams took this home. A lot of good nominations this year. Jared Goff, Jaden Daniels, Baker Mayfield, Jonathan Taylor with those back-to-back RB1 performances.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Jameer Gibbs stole the show down the stretch. Brian Thomas Jr., T. Higgins. Yay! Getting a pity nomination. And then Sam Laporta. Sam Laporta, the winner of the Playoff King, the 2024 footy. I don't know who's going to be. Jameer Gibbs. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
All right. Here's the hot take. Brian Thomas Jr., Is thought of alongside Chase and Jefferson. Alongside Chase and Jefferson after next season. So Brian Thomas Jr. is in the upper stratosphere for next season. That's my hot take.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Jonathan Taylor was the runner-up, but the gap was not close. 48% of the vote went to Gibbs. 17% to Jonathan Taylor. Gibbs is RB 3-7 in two performances. I think the data came out. He is the most commonly rostered player in fantasy on championship teams. Yeah, that makes salt in my wounds as a Gibbs manager.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Jennings actually let people down. He did, yeah. At the end of the season. So it was fun to say the name, but you wanted the points attached to it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I guess it's not produced.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
That's not producer of the year. You know what I mean? That's true. That would have gone somewhere else. Tell your family that their footy is in the mail. Yeah, I was going to say that really. Two years in a row, show moment revolving around me in a title game. I can live with that. If we get another one next year because I'm in a title game, I'm fine with that.

And all the moments are on YouTube.com slash TheFantasyFootballers, which we rewatched this morning. And the Tank Bigsby one did hit me fresh. It was like you guys got me so good. I was ready to say Jaden Daniels and the announcer. The incredible Jaden.

When the game comes out, it gets worse. Do we need like a new award category for next year that's called? Sure. Here's my suggestion. You can noodle on this. Okay. Bummer of the year. Bummer of the year. Okay, I'm noodling. Because there's just somebody that it's like the letdown, but it's just you had high hopes. And football would be better.

Yeah, he wasn't the biggest bust. Not a total bust. He was sort of good. He was just the bummer of the year, man. Okay. There's a handful of those guys where you can't believe it every week. and you kept throwing him out there, I mean, Jordan Love would be a bummer of the year.

Oh my gosh. Yeah, that's true. The Broncos would be, or the Bengals would be in the playoffs and the Patriots have the number one pick.

It's wild what we've seen happen. The Eagles, we'll get into the news momentarily, but Saquon Barkley's team, clearly. Jalen Hurts, I think, completed 11 passes or something. And then you see what Baltimore did. Derrick Henry almost 200 yards rushing again.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
It is not an exaggeration to say that all 32 teams should have been in on Derrick Henry and all 32 teams should have been in on Saquon Barkley. And yet both of them, like the Saquon sweepstakes more high profile, but the prediction of the demise of Derrick Henry or the lack of courage By Dallas, by any of these teams. I mean, how about the Chargers?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
You tell me the Chargers with Derrick Henry aren't a different football team. Sure. Denver with Derrick Henry, like every single team should have been in on those guys.

They got thromped. Like throttled and whomped.

But 28-14, Ravens manhandled them. It was not close. Mike Tomlin has not won a playoff game in eight years. Mike Tomlin, that's a stretch that surpasses all of their previous coaches, Chuck Knoll, Bill Cowher, all of those guys. Jason, you're the Tomlin truther for life. Hasn't figured out how to win a playoff game in eight years.

Also lost six consecutive games to end the season, which I think is more the story that might resonate with fans. They didn't get better. They got worse.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
Yeah, and I guess you can point fingers wherever you want. I mean, Tomlin has a lot of power in the organization. He's the one that's going to be fine going ahead with the Najee Harris, fine going ahead with retreads at quarterback. Like, there are choices that were made. I mean, they tried Kenny Pickett.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
They're stuck because Tomlin's good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Exactly. Which is why you need to be bad to be good.

Or Kenny Pickett had to hit, right? You have to have the late round pick. The Bills scored 31 unanswered after the Broncos and Troy Franklin came out and got the first score. Which, look, when I saw that, I wasn't... Aww. When I saw the Broncos got on the board first... I hadn't been watching yet. I was following it on my phone. I was like, oh, maybe they can do it. And then I checked back.

Right.

Footie Award Winners + Hot Takes for 2025! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/14
They're a ways away. It feels like the Broncos and the Chargers are a few missing pieces away. Yeah. Well coached. Quarterback situation's figured out. Need some more elite talent. And just, like, time together, right? Yeah, for sure. That's what the Bills have. The Packers – Lost to the Eagles 22-10. I believe the Packers lost three wide receivers in this game.

Fun game, very much so. Wish I could watch those two quarterbacks play some more in the playoffs, but Baker's gone. Going home, the doink off of the inside of the upright after Zane Gonzalez finally figured out how to put his helmet on. That was... That was so weird.

But when things start to go bad and that same attitude comes forth, if that's indeed what it was, then it can wear on a team and they're going a different direction. The Lions head coach Dan Campbell says he expects the aforementioned David Montgomery to play in the divisional round.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Well, yeah, I mean, the timeline has helped now, right? Like, you're saying the surgery part.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Dr. Campbell, what do you say? I think it's a weird thing. I put the poll out there for fun about whether people believe that Jameer Gibbs, being the full-time starter, makes the Lions better on accident. Or is their offense missing something without Montgomery?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
64% of you said they're better with both. Yes. I do see that. The team is better. I don't know if I am on that side. I voted the other way. I think that they are better with Gibbs full-time. I do not think they would survive a season with Gibbs full-time. So I think the team is better to have both for the regular season. But I did think it might be fortuitous for their playoff run.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
to have Gibbs on there in every down back type of situation. But most people disagree with me.

Welcome in.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Yeah, and to me, people want to talk about Gibbs being undersized. Maybe when he came into the NFL, to me, he doesn't play that way. He can run inside. I think he's put on weight. You know, we talk about Bucky, right? I mean, Bucky is more undersized than even Gibbs, I think. And they can get it done. They can get it done between the tackles. Jalen Hurts returned to practice like we expected.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Zay Flowers not practicing. Long shot to play in the wild card.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
It's definitely a bummer, but I do think, I mean, the line for them is the biggest line this week without Zay being active.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
But they do play each other close historically.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Yeah, I normally keep it short when you need to. Freaked me out, man. Not the response I hoped for from its baseball time yesterday. Oh, was it? Fairly negative.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
To me, that is the big question in this game is can the Steelers defense do something to create a play? Because that would close that gap. Target percentage for Zay Flowers on the year is comical at wide receiver. Comical.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
His wide receiver target.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Do you want to take a shot? Oh, man. Last year it was 39%.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
It's 49%. So you were way, way off. His regular target share is 25%. But that was including the game where he just got knocked out. So, yeah, he's very important to their passing game. Now, whether they need it or not, like do you like Henry over 100? I do against that running defense. They couldn't stop him a few weeks ago. Isaac Garindo, sprained MCL and ankle.

I think a musical would be great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I can't believe they made that Taylor Swift, Kelsey movie.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
That's the one I was thinking of, too. Oh, no. Yeah, that was a separate movie. Yes. What are they doing?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
We haven't had to answer this question in a while. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

I decided to ask Chad GBT who Mike Wright of the Fantasy Footballers looks like. Chad GBT knows who I am? And here is the answer that I received. Okay, this is great. Oh, yes. Mike Wright of the Fantasy Footballers has often been compared to Chris Pratt. Oh, come on! Oh!
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I actually just asked the same question for Jason. They gave me Jason Siegel. Maybe they were just looking for a shared first name.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Who's y'all's favorite Marvel character? This question from YouTube. For me, it is Wolverine.

Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh. Yeah, it's Jason. It's Jason, all right. This question, let's go YouTube question from Peter. What is everyone's favorite hobby outside of fantasy football? Pickleball. That's your favorite hobby?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I would have answered cooking for you.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I always hate this question because I feel like I'm a loser when they ask me this question. Why? Because I don't have good answers. My answers are like, I just, I'm like a dad. Like a dad's my hobby. See? Yeah, but you love pickleball too. I do. But like favorite hobby, I guess, just means the thing you get to do.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I play video games and pickleball, I guess. Yeah.

X question here from Funk Zero Fan. If you could pick up the studio and your families and move to any other U.S. town on someone else's dime, which city would you pick?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Nah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Uh, probably. Tahoe? Hawaii. Oh, okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Um, I will go to the island of Maui.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And the coast of Kanapali. Oh.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

It's not a bad question.

Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Why would you want to live? In paradise? Other than the weather. The weather in San Diego is great, but the driving is not great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
It's not at all.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

You grew up and you would go and your summers were Santa Monica.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
But you're saying San Diego.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Okay. All right. Do we have time for more of these questions or should we move on here, Al? Do you know if we should hit some more? Let's do two more. All right, Ryan writes in, Ryan Lovell from Twitter, says my wife and I just had twins. Congratulations. Oh, awesome. A boy and a girl, our first children.

Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
We record our shows in the afternoon before the day they come out in the offseason. So I really enjoy a slightly longer morning. We're not rushing into record. That's my favorite part.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Steven Seagal? Really? Swoosh! All right. Well, the playoffs are coming up, which means we are going to continue our fantasy face-off.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Well, we've got a bunch of wild card weekend games coming up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
That was a confusing one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
The first taste was, this isn't mayonnaise. So it was a vanilla tone. Right. But then there was the sour. Then the mayonnaise came through. Yeah, really good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
He's like, I do this all the time.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I'm feeling different things right now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I wanted you to know I'd be fine on Survivor. All right. Oh, hey. All right. You know? Survivors. Is there a lot of mayonnaise drops in Survivors? Look, sometimes you got to eat things you don't want to eat. Okay. All right. And I'm feeling it now. What a stud. Absolute unit. Why don't you explain what we're doing for the playoffs here? All right. As I wear this banana head.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
That is the Washington matchup there. My combination are two sides of the same game. The Super Bowl-bound Los Angeles Chargers. I'm taking – Oh, can I guess real quick? Go ahead.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
You're wrong. Oh, yeah. This is McConkie more than five and a half receptions. So he's got to hit six receptions. And it is Joe Mixon less than 70 and a half receiving or rushing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Rushing yards. The fade of Mixon, the inefficiency of the offense, the Houston offense, they're at home. They're not favored.

I'm feeling a lot right now, actually.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
I don't think that this game flow is going to lend itself to Mixon getting over or more than 70.5. So I'm going to take less than 70.5 for Mixon on the rushing side and more than 5.5 receptions for McConkie. So we're going to shift to the crowns and clowns for this playoff fantasy face-off. This is the tightest banana I've ever worn. I can tell you that.

Get it on. Oh, okay. Okay. Here's your quick question of the day. Matt Wilt wrote in on X. He said he rode Bucky Irving to a championship this year. How high is Bucky Irving's ceiling next year? Thanks, guys, and congrats, Al, on your title. Please stop congratulating Al. Please.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
17 games. Never give up. 207 carries, 1,122 yards, eight rushing touchdowns, 52 targets, 47 for 392 and zero. You stop congratulating Al, but begin giving Micah's flowers because this was one in the offseason. That he was spot on. He thought that Bucky Irvin could emerge in Tampa.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
And I was on the side that you don't... The vet keeps his full time. It was just more like they... It was more on the basis of... They were a playoff team that was great. Baker was awesome. And a lot of it had to do with Rashad White and the receiving game. So why mess with what worked? Right, yeah. But Bucky Irving was so much better of a runner. The offensive line was bad in Tampa last year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Bucky was that good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Rashad White was a top 15 running back down the stretch, and Bucky was still that good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
This was an amazing rookie season. I feel like there's a huge discussion attached to this. 1500 plus scrimmage yards, 5.96 yards per touch, hyper-efficient. And we have also, we've been here before with the efficiency. Last year, Devon Achan, an underdog, put this tweet out reminding us of kind of the – like Devon Achan came into the year this year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
What did he average last year, 7-point-something a carry?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
He had 100 more carries in 2024 than he did in his rookie season. Exactly. He had 107 more rushing yards on 100 extra carries. So, you know, that's part of the discussion with Bucky. We cannot quantify perfectly –
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
How much rest times, you know, when a young player gets to come in and they're complimenting, like A-Chan did last year, complimenting Mostert, who was amazing, and Bucky Irving coming in and complimenting and kind of taking over from Rashad White but getting snaps off, there's not a really easy way to quantify that value and what that does to efficiency.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
What we do know is when you have a committee backfield, you do miss out on – the one-yard fourth down, right, to mess with your numbers and the short yardage. And the game's getting put away, but you're getting every snap, so the defense knows what you're doing, so your efficiency goes down. Like, yards per carry only takes you so far, really. You have to have film.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
You have to be able to watch what these players are doing on the field. I don't think any of us think Devon Achan is less talented this year because his efficiency went down.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Yeah, exactly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
He only scored four touchdowns from that point on on the ground, too. So it was like he had eight on the year, but they came half before that event. So there's... What I love about Bucky's situation moving into the future is that there's going to be a lot of consistency on this team from what we can see. Baker had a wonderful career year. He's through a lot of touchdowns, right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
That can go more into Bucky gets that opportunity. Now, can he hold up? That's a question we had about A-chan. A-chan's been banged up. Bucky's... He got hurt twice this year. So... Does the team feel like this balance is the right balance? Well, even if he does, it's the numbers that Jason said.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
There's going to be some variation, but to answer the question succinctly, I think he can be a top seven running back.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Give him the ball. This might be Baker throwing a really good ball to his running backs.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Yeah, it makes sense. And you've got confidence in the quarterback and the offensive system, and it should be really fun for years to come. And if you've got Bucky Irving shares in Dynasty, congrats, because that's going to be a good ride. Let's talk news.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

The Raiders have fired Antonio Pierce. That didn't work.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
And he didn't have a lot to work with either, but it didn't work.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Footballers AMA + Worst Picks Ever, Big Gulps - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/9
Yeah, sometimes – and we've seen this many times in the NFL – When you are an ex-player or you come in with a hard-nosed attitude, it's an amazing ride at the beginning. It motivates. It gets everybody playing very hard, and they finish what? It was 5-4 last year after becoming the interim head coach. Everybody's loving it.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
here's a crazy stat the Ravens tight ends 18 receiving touchdowns for the Ravens so overall tight ends have had a lower percentage of the team's red zone targets despite those other receptions going up but the Ravens not to blame there that's as many as the Cowboys Colts Giants Rams Panthers Chargers Jags and Texans combined wow they could use some wide receivers
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Or maybe that's just not how Lamar is made.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yeah, yeah. So a reminder for our final truth episode, we're looking at weeks 1 through 17. We're looking at consistency. You just got a little bit of a summary of what we're going to find. But, yeah, we're looking at weeks 1 through 17, classifying tight end performances above 15 points as great games, above 8 as good games. That's not that many points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
The bust games are below five and a half points. Which means that 44% of the time, Dallas Goddard was under five and a half points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Number one, though, George Kittle.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
George Kittle, number one in consistency, number one in fantasy finish, drafted in the fifth round. I don't think we've heard the name George Kittle enough as one of the best steals of the draft.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
How was he in the first half? Number one. How was he in the second half? Number two.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Welcome in.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
The previous three years for George Kittle, he finished as the tight end five, three, and four.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
The touchdowns, eight, you know, it was the second most of his career. But very consistent. I mean, consistency-wise, 86% good, 50% great games, and 7% bust games. So... You know, who are you going to count on when you look at the San Francisco offense at this point? Right. Is it Ayuk trying to come back from injury? Is it Ricky Pearsall as a sophomore? I mean, it's George Kittle.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
21 red zone targets. That's crazy. 33% of all routes inside the 20, which was number one among all tight ends. That is, yeah, it definitely speaks to a different quarterback being kind of more focused on him. He is 31.2 years old in the final year of his deal.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Thursday, February 6th. Last show before the Super Bowl. So we can get our thoughts in about that. We were just talking today about how we were at the Super Bowl the last time that the Chiefs and Eagles squared off. It was out here in Phoenix. Actually, Glendale. But it was exciting at the time.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Number two, rookie Brock Bowers. He's not 31. He's 22 years old. He was a seventh-round pick. His consistency rank was 300. Number two in the first half, six in the second half. Great games, 25%. So half as many as Mr. George Kittle. Good games, 69%. Nice. Busts, 13% of the time. Had to deal with a carousel at quarterback. A carousel at wide receiver. Devontae Adams leaving.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Jacoby Myers missing time. Goodbye, Gardner Minshew. But you knew from like week one. that everything everybody said about Brock Bowers was 100% true, and you knew it almost instantly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Well, that's exciting. And 99 of the 153 were short area targets. So that's zero to nine yards.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
He had the same target share as Nico Collins, 24%. The same first read target share as Mike Evans, 28%. The same first downs per outrun as Justin Jefferson at 10.8%. And the same yards after the catch per reception as CeeDee Lamb. So there's nobody I want more at my tight end spot than Brock Bowers for probably the next eight years.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
He'll be a first rounder.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
11-12. Yeah. I think it'll make more of a difference in redraft. I do.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
That's good to know. And if you want the differential in my mind with, I think, honestly, Brock Bowers and our next guy we're going to talk about, Trey McBride, they're neck and neck in terms of the next few years performance-wise. It's probably where the touchdowns go. But three-year gap, amazingly, between Brock Bowers and Trey McBride, who is still very, very young.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
We'll talk about him in just a minute. Number three, Trey McBride, 25-year-old Arizona Cardinal tight end, number two in consistency. Number four in the first half, number one in the second half, the most consistent tight end in the second half of the season, multiple number one performances. 73% good games, 33% great, 13% bust, all with two receiving touchdowns. That's wild. 111 for 1146 and two.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Brock was at five. Okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
So they were close.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
And McBride, definitely the first read in the Arizona offense. It wasn't the season Cardinals fans expected from Marvin Harrison. And it doesn't matter the strides that Harrison makes because we're talking about a situation that is going to be very Reggie Wayne, Dallas Drake, you know, like this is going to be a centerpiece. He's going to get paid. He'll be the highest paid tight end. And, um,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
You know, Jason just talked about at number seven, you got 50-50 shot of a complete bust. Like McBride, Bowers, these guys are going to give you reliable target numbers every week. And that is my favorite thing with the tight end. Just let me know that you've got a high target share. Right. I mean, the touchdowns are going to come and go.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
For these two guys, you're going to have much better seasons touchdown-wise than you just got.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

That's your hopeful. Right, yeah. You're hoping you take a seven-point loss, but you might get three touchdowns on you.

But we've seen things change.

The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yeah, I mean, I don't know if we speak for everybody on that. Obviously, we don't speak for Eagles and Chiefs fans. Oh, of course not. But, like, I have found myself slightly looking forward to it more than I was at the beginning of the week. And, you know, the storyline, Saquon, the birthday, the opportunity with the just what an unreal season that would be to leave New York and win a Super Bowl.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yeah, we can agree to disagree in part on that. I mean, Laporta didn't just have one good season. He had two seasons for this team. You know, 120 targets is earned. Targets aren't earned stat. And Trey McBride didn't have years like this his entire career because you did have to have opportunities to make him a centerpiece of the offense. He didn't outplay Zach Hertz in previous years.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
So it was his time. But I don't want to take away from Laporta just because that offense had two amazing running backs, two amazing wide receivers. So Laporta got 90 targets instead of whatever, you know, These other guys did.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Laporta's got a higher yards per catch than McBride does, I'll tell you that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
It wasn't his doing, though. They put him on a cart and drove him down the sideline.

All right. Johnny Smith is four somehow.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
I just love that for no reason we're talking about Laporta. Here's your line. Look, I'm not taking nothing away from Sam Laporta, but the dude sucks. You made me do that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
You brought this on him. You act like the dude didn't catch a million passes. If Laporta was in the Cardinals offense, he would have caught that amount of passes. Sam Laporta is no Johnnie Smith. That's what I know. Johnnie Smith was the number four most consistent and number four overall. He was 13 in consistency in the first half, third in the second half, 63% good, 25% bust, 31% great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
That 31% great number, that's right on par with Trey McBride. I mean, that's above Brock Bauer. Dude, the second half was outrageous. I mean, he was a lead. He had 88 receptions for 884 yards. 111 targets, and really didn't become the central focus at the tight end position or in the offense until week nine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
You got the three-peat, which good news. Good news, NFL. They've got a license now. They've negotiated with Pat Riley. Oh, they did. They worked out a deal to be able to use the term three-peat in the event that the Chiefs win. Wow. Pat Riley owns those words. Yeah, that's smart. We've got to get four-peat right now. Does anybody have four-peat?

The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
uh yeah keep them down i like it this was you know johnny smith is sort of like what david nijoki did last year to finish the season you had a just a run of games where you're like this is a guy that's been around and yet is now an elite option indicative of miami's transformation on offense they couldn't get the ball they weren't willing to get the ball down the field as much tyreek hill we went over that in the truth episode for him almost half the receiving yards
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
I don't think any of us would have said, if we told you starting the year, he's going to have half the receiving yards. Who's the beneficiary? You would have said Devon Aitken. You would have said Jalen Waddle. You would have said somebody not named Johnny Smith.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Oh, does it start pretty crappy?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
They take you underwater where you're almost drowning, and then right before you drown, it lifts up. Look, Mark Andrews is, it's wild. This was the, did you know, this is his career high in touchdowns. That was his career high in touchdowns.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yes.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
11 touchdowns. He's only had one double-digit year ever. One of the things that happened back in 2021 is we got this outrageous outlier season from Andrews. 154 targets, 107 receptions. He's played seven seasons. He's never again surpassed 73 receptions. Andrew's story is never going to be competing with McBride and Bowers on the PPR reception totals.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
It's always going to be, if Andrews is on the field and Lamar Jackson's on the field, these two have a special red zone relationship. And it surfaced over the course of the back half of the year.

14 yards in the other three games?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yeah, his consistency rank was below his fantasy finish, which you're probably going to see from him with touchdown dependency. He was number four in the second half, number six on the season, 17 in the first half, 31% bust rate.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
he redeemed, uh, you know, all of the, if you had him still, if you kept him, you could play him and you could rely on him because tight end it's, it's tough in the tight end streets. Mark Andrews delivered with the touchdowns. That's where the value came. Um, But the truth of his season is not, I don't feel like he was the fifth best tight end.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
Yeah, he did. He did. So there's that. He did finish ahead of Sam Laporta. Oh, man. So, no, no, no. Let me just take the logical conclusion. You said, verbatim, McBride earned it, Laporta didn't. Which means that if Laporta didn't perform, it's also not his fault. Thank you. Because if it wasn't his fault to be successful, it can't be his fault if he failed. Correct. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
So he's just a product of a system. So he would have been great had they let him be great. Yeah, okay. Yeah, great. So, I mean, there's no point in dunking on him. Just dunk on the lion. I wasn't dunking on him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
I mean, 55 receptions over 17 games. You played every game. You averaged 3.23 receptions. Yeah. That clinches the butt cheeks until you get the touchdown. Which, to be fair. Make sure I never say that exact line again.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
All right, Kelsey at number six was drafted as the tight end one in the third round. Whoops. He's 35 years old. Consistency rank of eight in the first half. It was 13 in the second half. It was nine. Not a good pick. Just not a good pick. No. He was the perfect, kind of did enough-ish to make you keep playing him because you'd never sit Kelsey, right? But maybe you could have.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

There's normally another Jonu Smith. It wouldn't be Jonu again. Right. There'd be somebody else. But we talked a lot about Kelsey already at the top, talking about his age, talking about how he wants to keep playing, talking about how annoying it is going to be. Just giving you the numbers, 25% great, 50% good, 38% bust. That was the Travis Kelsey story.

I'd love to talk Laporta, but we've got to take a break first. All right. Last year's number one tight end. Totally didn't earn it. Number one, didn't earn it. This year, didn't earn it. Number seven, just kind of a mist out there on the field. Sam Laporta. He was drafted as the tight end two in the third round, no question. Disaster.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 TEs + SB Lineups, Kupp of Sadness - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/6
He was the eighth most consistent in the second half after a much worse start at number 21, only 7% great, 47% good, 33% bust. Jameson Williams returned this year, made a big impact. We talked about him in the tight end truth. Huge difference maker. Had the dominance from Gibbs, who ascended. Montgomery, who continued. So Laporta can be good.

And last year, thanks to Sam Laporta and Trey McBride's breakout last year and McBride doing it again this year. So, yeah, I mean, if you talk about a trend... We could do it again, right?

Oh, people were very excited about Amari Cooper. It had like an up and down start to the year. Finished last year super strong. And, you know, I had sent some trade offers, chasing some picks for Cooper. Got them. I got them completely rejected multiple times. I tried to craft all these different deals, and then the news happened. It just timed up miraculously.

The news happened, and the same deal comes back to me. People were grasping for Josh Allen to have his Stephon Diggs, and it's not like we hadn't seen that in Buffalo before where one guy puts up prolific numbers. What's crazy is Allen, who we talked about on the Truth episode with quarterbacks, Still had prolific numbers. It just didn't go to one guy, and Marty Cooper might be toast.

Because you're talking dynasty time. All right, Jefferson came in at two. You just mentioned him. He was actually number two in consistency as well. So the top two, no big surprises there. There were some bumps in the road. 13% bust games, 19% great. So didn't have as many high-end games. 75% good, though. That matches Jamar Chase.

The last two years with our truth metrics, 53%, 40% great games. This year down to 19%. It's actually the lowest of his career and yet had the highest percentage of games that met that good or better standard of 12.5 points. Look, if I had to pick a year, I'd pick a different year than this year, personally. Yeah. But consistency-wise, he didn't end up –

Being Justin Jefferson, he was better at home, pretty even against both types of top end, bottom end defenses. And look, we don't have to tell you, he's going to be really good and drafted very high for a very, very, very long time. Amon Ross St. Brown was drafted as the wide receiver five, finishes at wide receiver three, consistency rank of four. First half, it was eight.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Brown is running that you can really you just can't you know you're not going to be double teaming the slot on a little in breaking route you just can't get another guy there quick enough a little bit of a baby seedy situation where you're moving all over the field always going to be a go-to guy in the red zone a go-to guy on first down scored 12 times 115 catches

Incredibly, Brian Thomas Jr. comes in at number four, and this was an ascension over the course of the year. His consistency rank, number eight. Still insanely amazing from a rookie.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
But finishes at four overall while being drafted as the wide receiver, 47 off the board. 63% good, 25% great, 25% bust. which means that from rookie Brian Thomas Jr., you got a higher percentage of his games as great. What is it? What's our threshold for great? I'm sorry. 20 points. 20 points. I didn't know if it was over that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Oh, don't do it. He'll show up. Now, he was a great play caller. It was awesome. He did a great job. People respect, so we'll reserve some judgment. I hope he's awesome. But here's the deal is Brian Thomas Jr. also can move all over the formation. He can also come into the slot and run routes and be put into a position where he can make an impact.

We saw this a little bit this year from him in terms of just you're not going to hold him down the entire game. You might have a quarter where you don't think he's doing something. Like a seedy lamb, he figures it out.

He was in the 85th percentile for targets per route run, 97th percentile for yards per route run, 92nd percentile for target percentage compared to all the rookies in the last decade, 99th percentile in zone coverage yards per route run.

Probably not in a way that will matter for how you draft him. Obviously won't be of value the way he was this past year. I guess the question I have too, and it kind of dovetails into Dynasty talk, but like... From what you saw from Brian Thomas and what you know you're getting with Liam Cohen and Trevor Moore. Oh, there we got the real one. We got it, everybody. All right, hold on.

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Let's talk about a player that kind of went the opposite direction. Not a lot, but a little just like some of those guys at the front where Chase was drafted as wide receiver for. Last year's Sweetie, Mr. CeeDee Lamb, not DeeDee Westbrook, CeeDee Lamb, was drafted as the wide receiver two, finished at five. Consistency of 11, though. 20% bust games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
That wasn't part of the CeeDee experience last year at all. Still had 20% great games, 53% good. Lost his quarterback. Who went on IR in Week 10. His first half consistency was 5. Second half, 18. We have a reason for that.

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Which then adds to kind of our commentary on Brian Schottenheimer. I like the consistency. If you told me that they had went out, I don't want to defend Jerry Jones and the Cowboys, but I'm going to for a second. I don't think they're in a position where they can make a right move ever now. I totally hear what you're saying. Because you know what?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
If they went out and they made Deion Sanders the highest paid coach in football and paid his buyout of Colorado and brought him to the NFL, you're just the same old Cowboys doing the flashy thing. It's the way their draft picks work. you finally took some offensive linemen for a while. Well, now you're not taking the big, why didn't you take the running back you needed and the big flashy player?

We were wrong. We were wrong with the departure of Kellen Moore and the departure of Kellen Moore and the replacement with Brian Schottenheimer translating to a worse season for CD and less production on the offense, and both Dak and CD were better with that. That's all I'm saying.

Feels good. Number six in year number six for the very first time ever, a top 10 fantasy wide receiver coming in at six. Terry McLaurin. Yes. At 29 years old. That is not young.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
And he was literally almost identical against top defenses, bottom defenses, home, road, 19% great. That's the same as Jefferson. 69% good games. Amazing. Nice. 25% bust games. Just a dynamic playmaker through and through all season long. One of the best picks in fantasy. Drafted in the late sixth round. Consistency rate was seven, so right by his finish. Nine and nine, first and second half.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
82 for 1096 and 13. If you want to pick it apart, 13 touchdowns is going to be real tough for Terry McLaurin to do again.

Yeah, it's just nice to see somebody finally get that opportunity to shine. Yes. And he will have that opportunity again next year with Jaden, and more primetime games will be coming Washington's way, no question. Malik Nabors at seven? Wouldn't say it's a consistent year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
He should put all the bonuses in one of those big Scrooge McDuck things and then bring all the Pro Bowlers there and they all dive in and claim their bonuses. Oh, like a Hunger Games, the piggy bank? I'd watch that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Seven just doesn't feel right at all. His consistency rank was 13. That feels about right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
I would say here's the story of Malik Nabors in summary. His first half was number seven in consistency, but he missed two games due to injury, so that's a little bit of a distortion. Then the second half was 23rd. And really from weeks 5 through 14, that is not a small amount of time, a relevant player.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
But a guy you played every week. So actually, he hurt you. Because 5-14 is a huge stretch. It's the main chunk of the season. He started with three straight top six finishes in weeks two, three, and four. So he set you up to like, I just found a diamond in the rough. It wasn't his fault. The quarterback position was rotating through different starters. The team was a disaster.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
But injury, which was the concussion, I believe.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
So he missed two games. Then he comes back. I will say this. Doesn't finish inside the top 25 for that entire stretch.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
I mean, would you rather watch the Pro Bowl or the Hall of Fame game?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Yeah, he's the kind of player that when it's going, you're really happy he's on your team. I just don't know where that's going to be when it comes to the draft. And it's going to depend on who that quarterback's going to be. Where do they draft? I think there's going to be a lot of variance.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
They were tied or trailing on 90% of his routes.

So that's wild.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Yeah, you kind of felt like, you know, it's one of those situations with that offense where you felt like, you know, some just are like a knife through butter. You watch Cincinnati, it's up and down the field. This one felt like you need a thousand cuts to finally get a scoring opportunity to finish at seven overall with seven receiving touchdowns. He's that dude. 170 targets.

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
And you really can't get worse than what he got last year. That 170 targets needs to be, like, multiplied by point, you know. Yeah, .75. Yeah, .65 or something with what you got. At eight, another surprise name, maybe for, well, yes, definitely, compared to where he was drafted in the ninth round. Jackson Smith and Jigba? A tale of two halves, gentlemen. Oh, yeah.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
To go from – A first half consistency of 45 to a second half of five overall is so impressive. Now, I don't know what angle I'm going to take. I know the truth of JSN. He's a very good player. You also had a second half of the season where Inexplicably, DK Metcalf disappeared. You've now fired your offensive coordinator.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
You got very limited play time in production from your running game in the second half of the year. Fighting desperately, Geno Smith could not throw touchdowns. Seattle's just kind of a weird mess for me, and I don't know if I'm going to feel better about them at any point in this offseason. or anything's going to happen to change that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
It'll be Metcalf. Really? You think so? I genuinely believe that. Yeah, I think Metcalf is still the alpha there. You know, JSN is a very, very, very good player, but I don't know what his touchdown cap is not anywhere near Metcalf's. I mean, Metcalf could score 15. Had a weird bumpy year. Geno's a free agent in two years. I just don't know what it's going to look like.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
I think the average depth of target for JSN was very low this year.

No Jason no you will not that not that he will do that again but that's what his numbers were you won't be happy if that's what it is if his average up the target and touchdowns don't go up you'll just be kind of unhappy and it's Gino it's the offense is the new coordinator it's the division I am not saying I'm out on Jason I think he was explosive and amazing from week nine through 16.

After the arrival of Devante Adams, who was a consistency rank of 20, but in the second half was 13. These guys had very similar season-long numbers.

Adams missed a couple of weeks for Las Vegas before the trade. He had the higher percentage of good games, barely higher percentage of great games, more bust games. Again, transitioned halfway during the year. What are we doing here? Aaron Glenn, new head coach of the Jets. They keep asking him if Aaron Rodgers is going to be back. He keeps giving the same answer. We're in evaluation mode.

It's really hard because that would be the answer you want to say as long as you can answer the question of who's your quarterback with a good answer. But when you're an NFL head coach,

and you could start your AOC season, or you could start your Pittsburgh Russell Wilson season, you'd rather have the Russell Wilson season because you don't want to have your first year in New York be circling the drain with a nobody quarterback. That's all I'm saying about that is that, look, it probably won't be Aaron Rodgers, but who's it going to be then?

Every other name you said would terrify me for Garrett Wilson. Yes. Yeah, very much. And then Devontae Adams I don't think is hanging around without Aaron Rodgers. I really don't. So if you want to give a point back in the favor of Wilson, look, Wilson doesn't even want to be there. Wilson's not going to get another contract there unless it's a rookie quarterback that shows Bo Nix potential.

So here's the deal to me. The leading frontrunner to become the head coach for the Saints appears to be Kellen Moore, who is the Eagles offensive coordinator right now. And we have had success, Shane Steichen, failure with the next offensive coordinator, bringing up what they had, success with Kellen Moore. And so that would be the headline to me, right, in part.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Is the Eagles losing Kellen Moore, you're saying? The Eagles losing Kellen Moore, and then Kellen Moore brings, you know, ingenuity to the offense, so maybe the Saints can do something. But, yeah, McCarthy, it said he was supposed to interview on Friday, but he decided 2026 is his year. Okay. The Saints are over the cap by $50 million. So that is number one in the league.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
I think the interesting thing for me or for the landscape of the NFL, we've been doing this show for a long time. We have seen a movement recently to a lot of plays behind the line of scrimmage. We have... a high percentage of targets in that 10 to 19 yard range, or maybe more prominently, we have the lowest percentage of 20 plus yard targets that we have seen since before 2018 over the past year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
The fewest percentage of targets, 20 plus air yards downfield that we've ever had. Which makes me sad.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Yeah, there's always the punch, counterpunch, offense, defense in the NFL. So, yeah, you could be right. We're seeing more of those short area targets of late. We saw 24 total receiving touchdowns on behind the line of scrimmage targets, which is more than the last two years combined. Kind of interesting.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Well, yeah, I mean, it does work. It's been working. Xavier Worthy caught a lot of passes in that area of the field. So we are looking at the truth of the wide receiver position. General reminder for everybody out there, we calculate the truth looking at the 17 games of fantasy football relevance.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
We look at their consistency, the player's consistency based on how many great games, what percentage of those. For wide receivers, that's 20 or more points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Good games, 12.5 or more points. Bust games, fewer than 7.5 points is how we are breaking down consistency. Not a surprise as we kick things off, but number one, Jamar Chase, number one in fantasy finish, number one in consistency. First half was number four. Second half was number one overall and was drafted as the wide receiver four off the board, but finally delivered on the

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
31% great games, so 20 or more points 31% of the time. 75% good games. 6% bust, so he had really one bust game during the entire year. Was eight points better against bottom 16 passing defenses. It's pretty even. Home road splits, actually a little bit better on the road, and like you said, led the league in receptions, receiving yards, touchdowns. It was a monster gap.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy WRs + Goober Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/30
Between the wide receiver one and the wide receiver two. So yes, he finished at one. But having Chase and having Jefferson, there was a difference.

And so then Rodgers and Garoppolo, maybe they view... Look, Stafford's 37. He'll be 38. No matter what, we're having this conversation at some point soon.

Ben Johnson, because you're talking about the team with the number one scoring offense in points per game, number two in yards per game. I mean, I could read through all the metrics. They're top five in basically everything on the offensive side of the football.

Draft Fallers + Combine Buzz, New Offenses - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/27
I mean, I think all of us would look at the offense and probably expect some sort of regression, even small, if Ben Johnson was back, just because they were... They were outrageously good, yeah. It's hard to stay at the tippy-top, although we would have a lot of confidence in them. How do you feel about this move, Mike, with Morton taking over, the consistency of offensive weapons, right?

I think it's more about whether you believe this team, for fantasy purposes, I don't care if they're number one.

I do. Yeah, I mean, I look at this offense the way I would look at Tampa Bay, like what they did last year, losing Dave Canales, the name that everybody wanted. And their offense pretty much hummed along because you have consistency and strength at the quarterback position. You know, the head coach, you know, we talked about how you lose your offensive coordinators when they do well, but.

I am not as worried, I guess. I can see the Monty argument, but that one is also... That one's there in general to me because of Gibbs entering his prime, what he showed he could handle a full workload, what he brings to the table on the offensive side and Monty's injuries. I would have been a little bit heavier Gibbs anyways than Monty, so...

Montee right now is the lowest of the five players Not unsurprising in... No, he should be. ...of their core five fantasy options, especially in underdog. But Gibbs, Amon Ra, Jamison, Laporta, and Montee. You know, Montee being a pick behind Laporta already. That'll be an interesting one to watch.

Oh, man, this one is... You know, Houston... Nick Cayley, 42 years old, coming over from the Rams. You like the sound of that.

They were top 10 in passing percentage, so they put it into the hands of their quarterback. Now they lost Stephon Diggs. They lost Tank Dell. They didn't get production outside of Nico Collins, who was hurt. So I think it's interesting with the offensive coordinator change, with how bad they were as an offense. Was this a perfect brew of just a bad year with all of that mixing together?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Draft Fallers + Combine Buzz, New Offenses - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/27
Yeah, they had the five weeks with Dell, Collins, and Diggs together. Those were weeks in which Mixon was also very good before he got hurt. Then you had Nico sidelined with the hamstring. Then you lost Diggs to an ACL in week eight. Then you lost Tank Dell to the knee injury in December. And you never had any type of play calling that wasn't predictable, that was able to overcome the injuries.

If you break it down player by player like we did with the Lions, who would you be more or less concerned with? Saquon had a pretty special season. He's going to be drafted as high as you can draft somebody in fantasy and had a prolific 2,000-yard type of season with a lot of touchdowns from a distance.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Draft Fallers + Combine Buzz, New Offenses - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/27
I look at Saquon and say, nobody in their right mind should doubt him, but you could also look at the numbers and say, you don't do that every year. If you change the offense... There are ways to see how it goes. You could regress a little bit proportion to where he's drafted.

Instagram question from Nathan wants to know, after the roller coaster season, which it was, what do we do with Mark Andrews in Dynasty? He basically disappeared. Then reappeared, scored a bunch of touchdowns. I don't think it was a great fantasy experience, but if you did stick with him and you had him and you could play him down the stretch, you were fine.

I don't think this one. He's aging differently to me. This is not the same explosive player that – Like, we saw Kelsey maintain a level of performance consistently through this age. Mark Andrews did not look like the same player to me last year at all. He's still going to be a red zone threat, but he didn't look the same. You can't disappear for that many games.

Well, the forecast has a double meaning all the more this week as we get into championship week with some rain, some rain in the forecast. The Chargers at 9-6 go to New England to take on the Patriots, who are 3-12. The DK Sportsbook line here, Chargers minus 4.5, the over-under is 42.5. And here we go. The Chargers clinch a playoff spot with a win or a Colts loss and a Miami loss.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
So they're right on the edge. They're right on the cusp. And they are favored, but not by as many points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Yeah, I think this is a little bit surprising to me. The Chargers only four and a half point favorites on the road. I mean, I'd take them in the points.

While they are hoping to get J.K. Dobbins back on the field, Greg Roman said, quote, I thought he looked really good, fresh, thought there was spring in his step.

They got it.

Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
I think there's a couple hard decisions at running back in this game because Ramondre's rushing lines at 42 and a half. He's been much better at home, but his head coach once again came out this morning and said, we might bench him. He set a precedent in the locker room of saying, look, we've got to protect the football. Romandre fumbled the football.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
And we all lost. Well, and, you know, we're here. We're here. It's championship week. It's Christmas week. It's going to be an uphill climb. For, yeah, yeah. For Al Borland, which I am. No, for me. It went very poorly for me on Christmas Day because the Texans offense gave the Saints a run for their money on the most inept. Couldn't block. Couldn't escape the pocket. Couldn't play call.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
So he said it's a possibility we're going to bench him in favor of Antonio Gibson. Last time he said this, Gibson got the first carry and then it was back to Romandre.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
But I mean, there's a risk, right? Like if Romandre does get an opportunity and he does fumble. then you're going to see just a complete bust of a week, which is still a possibility with Ramondre at any moment in time. He was double digits last week. Gibson is a player that I'm adding as an emergency running back start.

I mean, Ladd McConkie sitting at a receiving line of 71.5. I mean, this is a player that is kind of automatic at this point. I mean, I can't imagine what the line is for like 50-plus on him.

It does feel like an end of the year layup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Now it's Thursday, December 26th, so consider that when we talk weather in this game, the Broncos at 9-6, the Bengals 7-8. We've already alluded to it. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Cincy, minus 3.5. The over-under not changing. That's encouraging to me. Still 49.5. The report we had earlier was that rain's likely, washout potential. I saw Gus up to 20 to 30 miles an hour.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
That's not what I'm seeing now. Right now, I'm seeing chance of precipitation at 70%. I barely got that word right. And I'm only seeing six mile an hour winds.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Look, if there's not wind, I'm not that freaked out. You might have a downpour during the game that makes passing prohibitive for a period of time. But, again, you don't want to overreact to this because what are the real choices that you have? Are you benching Joe Burrow based on any weather report? Are you benching Jamar Chase based on any weather report? I cannot fathom that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Oh, I'd go Kyler or Darnold or Purdy or Goff or any of those guys over Bo Nix with any weather threat. You're right on that one.

Couldn't catch the football. When they finally did... Couldn't hit easy passes. That's what I was going to say. The part that was the most annoying was that when they occasionally put a protection together for C.J. Stroud that allowed him to step up into the pocket and make a pass, he was really inaccurate. He had outroutes to Nico Collins.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Yeah, I just think the worry is over-emphasizing the weather. I think if you got right down to the wire and it looked horrific, then maybe you're right. But otherwise, I wouldn't want to lose with my best players on the bench.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
I mean, I would hope that you're in that situation where you've got a flex-worthy player on your bench going into Sunday morning no matter what. I guess it's a Saturday game, right? Yeah, this one is a Saturday game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
That's actually really nice. So that makes it – you'll have that information, then you can make an adjustment. The Cardinals are 7-8, taking on the 9-6 Rams.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
It's tougher because I got Chase in the same game. So it's like I just feel like they're going to be both equally neutralized where –

whatever happens he's got the chase on the other side i mean what are the odds that courtland sutton's affected by the weather because it rains when they have the ball and then it's really clear skies for chase can you tell me about that because i would like that uh that's unlikely unlikely as a as a meteorologist is there any chance that tomorrow chase has rainproof hands um no okay

It's impossible to unring the fantasy bell because we've been doing it for 15, 16, 17 years. But I would love to know what the natural thought about those games would be without any fantasy context. If you were a football fan, how would you view these games at this time of the year compared to the way we view them?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Because through fantasy, we just want to see the players that we got be able to provide for us on those weeks.

He had plays that he could have easily moved the ball down the field. It was a blowout, and... There was a chance that it wasn't going to be a blowout until the Baltimore Ravens shut down a first and goal. It was very good for Al Borland. Al Borland already talking crap this morning.

It feels rough. It's a pretty strong argument. Do you guys see the video of the new Buffalo Stadium?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Some of the things that they're doing. I thought it was kind of... I mean, because they did not want to remove weather from the equation in Buffalo. But they also are doing things like they've got very little exposure to wind and very little exposure to the crowd being soaking wet and the field being warm and de-iced and stuff. So they're doing some things there that I think.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Cardinals 7-8, Rams 9-6. Rams 7-point home favorites. The over-under is 47.5. Rams have a high implied point total of 27.3. If they win and Seattle loses, they are the champions of the NFC West. They also played the Seahawks in Week 18. So if Seattle wins again, it'll come down to Week 18. Nice.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
I did mention at the beginning of the week, when you think about motivation factors for the Cardinals, they're saying all the right things in the press conferences of their motivation to win this game and to play every down and to finish the season strong. I am more compelled by that argument because it's a divisional matchup where you can disrupt your divisional game. This is a long-term rival.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
So does Connor want to play? I think, yeah. I think it's more motivated by playing the Rams than it would be playing some other team with no consequence on either side of the football, a couple of out-of-playoff teams, for example. It's a tough and more difficult call because Connor has been on a tear. The RB7 won in six. He was the RB6 last week playing 44% of snaps.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 17 Breakdown, RAIN Alert! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/26
Well, let me talk about the hardest decision to make, and I'm struggling with it because it's four straight wins for the Rams. They scored 21-44. They won 12-19. So not scoring a ton of points. They did it against Buffalo. But the last four games they've won in Cooper Cup, wide receivers 78-15, 117-73. So... Completely irrelevant in three or four games despite winning.

He simultaneously doesn't want to jinx his performance, and yet he has slipped in some one-liners talking crap, which is good because when these two guys deceived me last year, moment of the year, Josh's deception with the sidekick, you know, Batman and Robin, When that happened, it looked like you guys screwed me. And then it ended up with me on top.

um what do you possibly do he is your pivot option for the bo nicks for the um on the fence situation but you're trying not to play him they have a a road matchup against a team that's hungry to make the playoffs and and and he's been so bad and he's a stinky bad quarterback yeah he was 20 points last week like i when you look at you're like oh qb 13 but it was he was 20 plus points like took overtime

Yeah, I mean, if you look at the last five weeks for Kyler Murray, 23, this is his fantasy finishes, 23, 18, 11, 22, 13. That is not a recipe for a must start.

With a win, the Bills lock up the two seed. And, you know, here we are. At one point in the offseason, the Jets were favorites to win the division. And Aaron Rodgers, MCL injury, said he's going to play. Adams missed a practice with a hip injury. You imagine he's going to be out there. Garrett Wilson, squeaky wheel narrative. Hope so.

Buffalo has, you know, the right on the cusp of locking things in. Defensively, they've been weird. At times, played New England last week, gave up 42 points to Detroit the week before and 44 points to the Rams the week before that. So defensively, they've been struggling. That's your argument for Adams, Wilson, and Rodgers and Brees.

Like, Shakir's, you know, if you look at how he's played, he's been okay if you're lucky. That's basically what it's come down to. And with Kincaid and Coleman back, I worry a little bit about guaranteed touches. Allen and Cook are in.

And then I think that wraps it up. I mean, Josh Allen, he's now minus 240 on the MVP. He was minus 600 the week before. Lamar is moving up. Man. Houston could have made it even easier for Lamar to move up if they could have scored some points.

And he's 10 yards from Dicka's rookie tight end record. So he's going to do both of those things. He said he tries not to think about it because it stresses him out. He just wants to win.

He actually ended up with only five fantasy points, two catches for 41 yards. He's a scary, risky play because he's been outside the top 24 and four straight. This is where if you've got that connection to a quarterback you have no confidence in, it gives you no confidence. That's the problem.

Giants are 7.5-point underdogs at home, and they have an implied point total of 16 points. Oof. The over-under is 40 here, but the Colts have a nice 24-point implied point total. So...

3-20-3 for Mahomes, who did whatever he wanted to do. In the Ravens game, 31-2, the Ravens on top. Lamar Jackson only passed for 168 yards, only completed 10 passes. So if you look at the target share for someone like Zay Flowers, five targets on 15 attempts, that's a juicy 33% of your targets. However, they didn't need to throw the football. And his touchdowns, play action...

48-yard rushing touchdown.

Yeah, and the lack of competitiveness in this game is what slowed Henry down from continuing his assault because the Texans, they were shut out on offense. They had one safety. That was it. They were shut out otherwise. Mix in nine for 26. Not a lot of opportunity when first downs are not on the board. Dalton Schultz his way right out of my start of the week because C.J. Stroud looked awful.

And Baltimore made them look dumb. And they clearly needed more receiving options than John Mechie. So that was the game. Mark Andrews got into the end zone again.

His line is great because he's two for 68 and a touchdown. He had a long of 67. It wasn't the touchdown. So that was your Christmas Day games. Did you guys have a nice Christmas?

And then Henry and Lamar were both like, no. They're like, look at us. We don't eat cake. We don't eat cake. I think Al Borland might have had a slice, though. I did. Yeah, he enjoyed.

So there's a chance we go into Monday Night Football. I asked him. Jameer Gibbs is who I have on Monday Night Football. Oh, man.

Well, for a running back named Ken Walker, he does a lot of limping. He's been ruled out. Ankle injury, third injury of the year for Walker. Maybe fourth, really. Ken, soggy newspaper Walker. Do you think it's because he needs one? A Walker?

James Conner has been limited Tuesday and Wednesday, both days. Wild. There is a chance he goes into the... the matchup this week without an injury designation. There's a possibility of that. And if that happens, you should expect him to be out there and pushing towards career highs in rushing yardage. And there you go.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

If he is without an injury designation, yes. He's over 20 fantasy points, three straight games. Also, maybe not.

The Foot Clan's very helped. You're setting up a decision I plan to make Saturday on Thursday. I'm not going to make the decision today. All right. We'll see what it looks like on Saturday.

And he's on the field all the time, versatile, using him in the screen game and the end of rounds. Every game, he gets one of those old school... Oh, gosh. Percy Harvin style into rounds.

Starts of the week. Well, quarterback, start of the week, I'm going Brock Purdy against Detroit. If for some reason you're not living with one of the best guys at the quarterback position, highest over-under of the week, I think Brock Purdy will be able to do enough against the Detroit defense. 202 is kind of the target line there. I think he'll go above that. I'm going to go Purdy.

Yeah, and if I'm a big underdog on Saturday, this is why McMillan would be attractive because maybe you catch lightning in a bottle and you get the two-touchdown game from McMillan. It's not something we haven't seen. Two weeks ago he did it. That would be the case, the bull case for it.

Yeah, that's the right pick, I think.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
for someone else over Jamar chase after what he just did yeah if the if this season that he had lapping the field. If we can pretend for a moment that it was Jefferson that put those numbers up and Chase put the Jefferson numbers up, I think you have an argument at that point to say, hey, you like Joe Burrow more. He could be the MVP.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
He could throw for 45 touchdowns, and Chase just kind of had a down year, and Chase could surpass him. If those roles were reversed, but in this situation, because of Joe Burrow's performance last year, which was MVP caliber,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
And because of a change at quarterback in Minnesota, because of a lot of mouths to feed with an Amon Ra, because of quarterback problems for neighbors, like there isn't really, you know, CeeDee Lamb. Yeah, he could do it again. But you're going to have to have a return for Dak Prescott and success on the offense. So I think Chase would have been my pick at one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
But I will go with Bijan Robinson at pick number two. I like it. I will go with Bijan. This was a very special year for Saquon Barkley, and while his variables haven't changed tremendously and I don't want to discount his season in any way, it was just a very special 2,000-yard season with a ton of dependency on big, long touchdown runs. Those are...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
It's hard to repeat those at the volume that Saquon did. I think what we saw from Bijan in the second half, his youth, Michael Pinnock's taken over. I'm going to slightly go with Bijan Robinson here. He led all running backs in percentage of carries that went five-plus yards. He kind of did it quietly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Always here, always available, always ready to go. Certainly eight to ten times more reliable than these guys.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Yeah, I mean, Saquon is coming off a tremendous season that maybe a lot of people will just reward that with the number one overall pick, which I think is fine. But he does have an injury history. He is older, which increases the odds of those injuries. I love that the offensive line and the team is going to be the same. So I think it's splitting hairs there as opposed to Chase.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
It's trying to forecast, yeah, the variability there. Only two running backs since 2007 had 17-plus fantasy points in 10 of their final 11 games. It was McCaffrey in the fantasy-breaking season in 2019, and it was this past year's B. John Robinson. So I'm looking at it from that last 10, 11 games and what we're projecting into the future.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Goodness, yes. I'm just happy that Papa Josh over there hit record on all the microphones. Are you recording yourself today?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

So I slightly lean Bijan Robinson and we'll take him with the number two pick.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Okay, because yesterday on the footcast, he didn't even record himself. But Al Borland was involved in a parking lot hit and run this morning.

Whoever this person was, they decided they would hit a Tesla because he drives a Model Y. They would hit a Tesla, which is totally rigged up with tons of active cameras at all times. They would get out of their vehicle. They would look at the damage done, which was significant.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Yeah, I mean, I think the fact he was the wide receiver one two years ago is pretty compelling.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
You guys know I love Jameer Gibbs.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
But, I mean, when I look at Bijan and Gibbs, and if you take the three games away where he played by himself, without Montgomery, and you look at the fancy points per game between B. John and Gibbs, B. John is at 18.3, Gibbs is at 17.6. So they're neck and neck. I don't want my guy to ever come off the field.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
I know I'll get 50 more carries from B. John than I will Jameer Gibbs, and I will be slightly less stressed when I see a quarter. where I don't see my player. So that split the difference.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
You went CeeDee Lamb. I had him at six on my rankings.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
I'm going to go with – it's between Jefferson and Gibbs. I'm going to go Justin Jefferson at four. You know, tried and true, reliable, consistent. I'm going to take the shot on Jefferson knowing exactly what I'm going to get. It will be a risk. It was a risk last year. Sam Darnold was supposed to be the sacrificial baby. Didn't really matter to Justin Jefferson. He was still excellent.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Became the prodigal son. Yeah, and now we're going to have a new quarterback, most likely in Mr. McCarthy. So I'll go Jefferson at five.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Now it changes for the way I have it ranked. Maybe not in Jason's book. He's at pick seven.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
So Jefferson or Lamb, who's behind him?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Pick eight. Give me Malik neighbors. I'm going to take Malik neighbors at pick eight. Um, He's going to be a high percentage chance to lead the league in targets. He is of the chase mold and ability. Explosive plays, big plays, touchdowns, target volume. I'm going to kind of suppress some of the externals.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Knowing that those are going to be variables in play right now, and much like the Stafford situation for Puka, I think Malik Neighbors, if he was a top two wide receiver next year, that's not going to shock to me.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
There's a lot of discussion around just the fact that that general manager and head coach in New York, it's like you've got to win now. This is where the best thing for the organization is probably to draft a quarterback and mold that quarterback and create your future, but you don't get that opportunity when you are on the hot seat sometimes. to wait.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
And they've had two or three waiting years in a row. So if they went out and found a veteran, look, if Aaron Rodgers went to New York, if it's Matthew Stafford, if it's Sam Darnold, if it's any sort of competency, I mean, I told you the three games of Daniel Jones, Malik Nabors as a brand new baby in the NFL was on pace for 255 targets. That's not a real – I wonder why he got hurt.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
And 1,800 yards and 17 touchdowns. That is – if you just swapped him for Jamar Chase on the Cincinnati Bengals, he's going to put up Chase numbers. There's not a skill set problem there. It's just a peripheral problem, and I'm going to trust the talent.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
um so yeah i hopefully there's a little bit more efficiency uh and the target volume stays there but he's i i agree with you if you flipped him and jamar chase he'd put up similar numbers to chase chase bijan saquon cd jefferson gibbs puka and malik neighbors at eight i think that we're getting into a category where there's a lot more debate around these picks mike is at nine who you got
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
CMC is... 28, he's the same age as Saquon Barkley, and we're sitting here probably talking about Derrick Henry in the first round, who's 31.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
That is four points fewer than Henry per game, so that would be a projection of Henry declining. Bye.

It's overexposed.

He's much more Bijon than he is Gibbs and Saquon, right? His long run on the season, I'm seeing 30. Oh, yeah. That's not his skill set. So I'm just saying from a basketball perspective, I get it. Your performances are not as – Yeah, the spike weeks. You need him to score inside the red zone, which he does at regularity.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
It'd be easy to be like, oh, man, once Brandon Ayuk gets back, he will be an elite fantasy option. This is a player who was the wide receiver 14 in 2023 with an efficiency that was out of this world. He had 17.9 yards per catch, which helped him put up 1,300-plus yards in just 75 catches. Last year, if you were playing Brandon Ayuk, He was one of the worst picks in fantasy football.

One last question here from Connor. What quarterback will be the best value in 2025? I'm looking at the early best ball ADP on underdog, which is, you know, you're looking for a kind of the big performances there. Who do you have? Like after our initial question to start the show, is there a name that just, is it Dak? Because he's coming back from injury late on a good offense that you like.

Is it Herbert whom they may add a quarterback? Is it Jordan Love or a wide receiver? Is it Jordan Love? Because you think they'll add a wide receiver?

Yeah, I think that that's right in that zone where I'd love to have Baker – as the highest Jason are you scared?

We three cups deep or what? It's funny because I was just thinking about what was going on right before the show began. And so I think my mind was distracted, so maybe the, ah, welcome, it just kept going. Because I'm looking at Deucer's Alley over here as we start the Fantasy Footballers podcast. It was a fun morning. Is that the word you'd use? For us. Yeah.

I do not believe you have to keep rostering him. Alvin Kamara was over 1,400 all-purpose yards last year, despite turning 30 this year. He is going to be the focal point of the offense.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, this is Mike. You got to understand Mike is the man who drafted Clyde Edwards to learn a dynasty. He had the shiny Ferrari. He has now got a, you know, a weathered.

Yeah, we know. And here's her picture. We know who you are. Are Lamar Jackson and Josh Allen worth second round draft capital next season? That is the question. And while you ponder it... We have a little bit of research on the situation. We've had 21 quarterbacks drafted somewhere in the first two rounds since 2011. So high draft capital costs for quarterbacks 21 times.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Obviously, you're passing on other positions, right? We call the quarterback position a onesie spot along with the tight end unless you're in a super flex. You're playing one quarterback every week. You're playing two running backs at least. You're playing two wide receivers at least. So you really need them to pay off if you spend up 11 of the 21. So 52% paid off on their average draft position.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
So you got a 50-50 shot historically over the last 14 years that they're worth it.

Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Yes, I do. I expect that to happen for both of them. That doesn't mean I will pick them because – There's another side to the equation. Yeah, the other side is what you're losing, right?

If you are passing on a wide receiver in the second round and one that's more assured, one that's more consistent, one that provides, I don't know, called 17 fancy points a game or 16 fancy points a game, and then what I'm getting in return later on is 12 points a game,

and I have other quarterbacks that I'm fond of or think could enter that upper stratosphere and maybe only end up a couple points behind Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, I still wouldn't make that decision. There is an emotional piece that comes with knowing you have a starter slotted in every week.

I think we're going to always end up here on this show because there's also... It's because of supply and demand. This is market. And the last 14 years... You've got a 50-50 shot of them delivering anyways. And maybe some of the good fortune in recent history has just been if an injury happens, right? Where do you need depth more if an injury happens? At positions that you have to start multiples?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Mock Draft! Top 12 Picks for 2025 - Fantasy Football Podcast for 2/20
Correct. Or at the onesie positions? I mean, I also think it's easier to identify later round quarterbacks personally that I think could deliver higher end totals like a Jaden Daniels who was called out early, early, early, early, early. you could have drafted Derrick Henry in the second round instead of Josh Allen last year and then gone and got a Jaden Daniels or a Joe Burrow later on.

Maybe it's Brian Thomas or maybe it's maybe even go down. Maybe you say Bucky Irving, right? Like, but then you got Josh Allen, the MVP sitting there.

J-S-N versus M-I-N, Minnesota. J-S-N this week is my start of the week. Regardless of whether Geno is back in 100% or it's Sam Howell flinging it around, he is leading the NFL in slot receptions by a lot. He is the premier slot receiver in the NFL. He has 70. The next closest, 52 by Khalil Shakir. Last year, CeeDee Lamb led the NFL with 69 receptions in the slot.

This is where he belongs, and he's been a difference maker for your fantasy team. He's on pace for just a record-breaking season for JSN, and he's made Metcalf look like a questionable dynasty situation right now. And you don't have a choice against Minnesota. You've got to throw against them. He is both a big play potential type of guy, a yak guy, but also a really helpful volume play.

Sam Laporta's my tight end start of the week. Last week, eight targets for Sam Laporta. Let's not forget what he's capable of. Seven for 111, been a top 12 tight end three straight weeks. The usage has gone up. David Montgomery is gone.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And I think Sam Laporta's role in this offense is going to become more necessary, has become more necessary, facing a Bears defense that has struggled, have confidence in Sam Laporta in a week where some of us are really scrambling for the tight end position.

Over-under is 42. I don't think they'd be 3.5-point favorites if Vegas had any inkling that Patrick Mahomes would be missing this game.

And Buffalo is going to win their next three games. That is going to happen. They're going to end 14-3. So Kansas City plays Houston. It's a big one. Houston could put themselves in position this week to move into the three seed or at least have that opportunity.

Yeah, the Texans have, you know, C.J. Stroud has one game over 20 fantasy points. So there isn't the, you know, I mean, Aaron Rodgers last week had a big fantasy week. Like, C.J. Stroud's not giving you those games here and there. Is this game super simple from the Houston side? Is it Joe Mixon and Nico Collins and log out?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 16 Breakdown, Playoff Pressure - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/19
I think a lot of people are going to be like your Jaden Daniels situation. Mixon will be that Jaden Daniels for them, that running back where they're nervous about the injury and the start.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And he didn't do much with the 13, 32 yards on the ground for Pacheco. His three games since returning, running back 47, 31, 39. I would be trying really hard not to play him. I mean, the Houston defensive line is a tough one. They're a top 10 over the last six weeks. They're top five on the season. You know, Jalen McMillan in the flex for Pacheco. I'm probably going McMillan with more upside.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Worthy is the emergency flex. Xavier Worthy is the emergency flex.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 16 Breakdown, Playoff Pressure - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/19
Yeah, and I think his role is defined in the offense, whereas Juju and Hopkins and Hollywood and Watson and... Those guys are going to rotate through. Worthy seems to have more consistent snaps. And you're talking about him not being able to move screen game with Worthy. 11 targets last week was a high for him. He's been playing over 80% of snaps, which is an uptick for him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 16 Breakdown, Playoff Pressure - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/19
I think there's a lot of other people with me because I got a lot of messages about the Brenton Strange, Kate Otten. As soon as I added Brenton Strange to the roster, we got news that he's hurt.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

So that would be the dart throw to me.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Starts of the Week + Week 16 Breakdown, Playoff Pressure - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/19
So for an exciting game for the playoff picture and for the teams and the records, it's not necessarily standing out as a bunch of fantasy options beyond a lot of confidence in Nico, your confidence in Kelsey, and then Joe Mixon has to play for you because Joe Mixon's been that good. Yep. The other Saturday game is Pittsburgh-Baltimore. That's fun, too.

Giants are 2-12, battling for that number one spot, Atlanta 7-7. If there was ever a time you'd want to give your rookie quarterback an opportunity, this is a good matchup. When your 8.5-point favorite's even with him, Michael Penix will get the start. The overrunner's just 42, and the dawn of the Penix era.

I think they'll score three times. I think there'll be three touchdowns on the Chicago side. So wherever your conviction is on those players, maybe it's a swift and then a couple whiteout situations, combat's not really involved. Yeah, I think this game could be pretty fun.

The Browns are 3-11. They take on the 6-8 Fighting for the Lives Cincinnati Bengals. The DraftKings Sportsbook line Cincinnati heavy favorites, 7.5 points. The over-under is 47. The spread didn't change with the news that DTR was going to be the starter because Jameis Winston had been playing so poorly that the Browns are putting in a player they know will play poorly.

That's really where you're at. This is very similar to the Levis Mason Rudolph. The Titans know Mason Rudolph is not a good quarterback. and yet Will Lovis has put them in a position where if you're getting poor quarterback play, they just are tired of the turnovers, which I don't know if that goes away with DTR.

Burrow, Chase Brown, Jamar Chase, T. Higgins are your locks on the Cincinnati side. Not a lot of question marks there. You know, Mike Gesicki is always tempting for tight end starts, but he plays 30% of the snaps, and it's terrifying.

They played last when it was Watson, not Winston, and it was 21-14 and Burrow was the quarterback 17. So that would be the fear. But they should be able to – you know, you just hope Burrow gets it done early in this game and that the defense, Cincinnati, which is a streaming play this week, They don't score two times for you and hurt your offense.

I talked about my belief that the Jets with Aaron Rodgers, it just came out that he's getting healthier. I think you can see that on the field. He ran for 45 yards last week. The DK line here, Los Angeles minus three. The over-under is 46 and a half. That's not a big line considering the records of the teams.

244.5, which is high. Wow. But I don't mind either one. And I told you, I think of them identically, and then we get where the line is the same. So that's how I see it. I mean, either player – look, what do you have? Two quarterbacks that can have a game but don't often with two elite wide receivers for both. Adams and Wilson have been playing well, two top 12s.

Brees Hall, you have, I mean, that's, to me, it's, I don't have start of the week conviction like you do because I didn't like how often I saw him on the field last week. And the fact he's missing time due to injury, I am much more of a pump the brakes there. Still finished it running back 20, but it was 48% of the snaps. And I think, I think it'll be similar this week.

Yeah, I mean, I think Jordan Love gets it done on Monday night. I think, you know, 202 with high upside. And I think the potential is there. So I think it'll be a better than average game for Jordan Love. The matchup is really good.

If you wonder for a moment and you're listening and saying, well, who wouldn't play Jaden Daniels? The answer is tons of you who are asking. The sixth most popular start-sick question, and we get thousands and thousands every week, is Jaden Daniels or Kyler Murray? It's Jaden Daniels, bad matchup. Kyler Murray, good matchup.

Projected points are similar, but Carolina gives up seven points more per week to the quarterback position than the Eagles do. It's enticing. And so there is a fear there. And for good reason. The Philadelphia defense, like if you had Brian Robinson, let me put it this way, Jason does not have Brian Robinson as the start of the week. No.

Because that kind of a player is probably not overcoming that kind of a defense to the degree that you need in the semifinal matchup. But there are Jordan Love, Jaden Daniels decisions. Kyler Murray, Jaden Daniels decisions. For sure. I mean, if Josh Allen was playing the Eagles...

Yesterday I said I think I would go Love over Daniels, but then Jason, I think when we talked through it, it persuaded me to bump Daniels a little bit ahead. And there is an emotional piece. Like who do you want to have made the mistake with? Like if you put Jaden Daniels on your bench and he has a vintage game, And you lose because you pivoted away out of kind of overanalyzing the situation.

I think that's harder to live with. I think if you go down with your superstar, it's easier. Yeah. Jordan Love was my quarterback. Jerome Ford is my running back start of the week. He was the RB10 on nine opportunities last week. IR for Nick Chubb. He's had big plays. He had a 62-yard run. He's had some bigger ones. Last year he had three over 60 yards.

But under ADP. And so Stroud, Richardson, Murray, and then Burrow was great in the sixth round. And then Jordan Love in the seventh also underperformed relative to ADP. Your big injury of the year was Dak. He was in the seventh. And then Purdy and Daniels. So we'll be talking about them.

And so one of the things we do is we break down the season for each quarterback into three categories. Great games. And we classify those as more than 26 fantasy points. The upper echelon. This is four point per passing touchdown, by the way. Good games. So 21 or more points. Or games that we define as bust games. So that's 15 or fewer.

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
So yes, that does mean that there's a middle, you know, there's a A space between them. A mess between them. Between 15 and 21. So that's why you're going to see percentages not add up to 100 total. But Lamar Jackson comes in at number one. This was the fourth quarterback off the board, late third round. Number one in consistency.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
By those metrics, number one in the first half of the season, number one in the second half of the season, 38% great games, 81% good games, 21 or more, and just 6%, so probably one game, right? One bust game week 11 against Pittsburgh. So that is outrageous. 81% is tied for the third highest among all quarterbacks since 2017, so since we've been doing this. He was so consistent.

Well, I mean, it's weird because I was going to bring this up. He added Derrick Henry who dominated. He was this consistent. That is not going to be the story of Jalen Hurts when we get there.

Yeah, so look, number one in fantasy points per drop back, number one in passer rating, number one in yards per attempt, number one in passer rating versus zone. And a lot of it is that line between before he takes off and the elusiveness of getting outside the pocket and players are just going to come open as the play breaks down. He's so good at that.

We all remember number one quarterback against Arizona in week one, all the way down to 28 in week two, then back up to number two in week three, and down to 28 against Baltimore in week four.

Great games, 31% of the time. So just below where Lamar was. Good games, 63%, but he did bust 25% of the time. Three of those games in the bus category came in the first five weeks. So you could also look at, hey, he's adjusting to new personnel, kind of found what they were looking for from week nine on really, and was the number three most consistent in the second half.

Unbelievably high numbers, big numbers against bottom 16 defenses. So when you look at fantasy points per game, 19.39 against top 16 defenses, and that was a good sample size. 11 times they played those defenses. In the six games where he should, like when you would predictably come in here and say, oh, this is going to be good for Josh Allen, it was so good. 33.5 fantasy points in those games.

When he was number one last year, he threw 29. This year he threw 28. Touchdown rate, much more reasonable. He's had two years where he was higher than the 5.8% this year in the past. This is the first time in five years that he hasn't thrown for 4,000 yards. He threw for 600 fewer yards this year. And I think that was noticed in fantasy, right?

No, he's not a bus, but he was. Not the player you drafted in the third round. He didn't deliver on that for your team. Number three inconsistency in the first half. The second half killed you. Number six inconsistency, but he had a big stretch of games week 11 through 16 where he didn't play in week 17, your championship week. Week 16 was 33rd, got hurt. Not his fault.

Yeah, it is scored. And then he had some mediocre weeks earlier. 27% great, 53% good, 13% bust. So, yeah, he never hurt you. I mean, I guess that's the question. I won't declare it. Yeah, he was way better against bad teams. I won't declare that it's a bust, but do you think that he was worth the pick?

Here's the change of value proposition, though, is that this will be Saquon's team again. And you went from 3,800 passing yards to 2,900, right? You're under 3,000. So you're now talking about 1,600 yards to 1,800 yards fewer than the top passers. He went from 23 touchdowns to 18. That's 15 games, basically 14 games. He scored 14 times on the ground. Fourth consecutive year.

With double digits on the ground. But we saw at the end of 23 and during some of the season, like it did not feel like Jalen Hurts was the player that was going to take the game over. It felt like Saquon Barkley might take the game over. He had a weird strategy this year. Hurts did. It was called not throwing it to A.J. Brown.

Is that fun to not – like Burrow is fun, right? Burrow is fun to have on your team. You just – he throws the ball so much. The game is just in his hands. Is it as fun right now – Because Hurts with the passing numbers, he'd be the worst. He would not be good. But because of the rushing totals, he just kind of figures out a way to piece the game together. Is that as fun of an experience?

If they were carrying guys down the field, and like you said, where it was drawn up. We've seen this in Arizona before. Sometimes there have not been opportunities to throw the football. There wasn't a release valve. He should have taken off and run a couple times to keep the defense honest. Horrible final two games of the year. Probably cost him $50 million.

I believe Mike uttered something about bridge quarterbacks. So let's get to number eight. Sam Darnold, 14 inconsistency in the first half, nine in the second half, ends at number 10 inconsistency. So a little less consistent ranking-wise than his fantasy finish. Only 6% great games. So if you caught lightning in a bottle in week two or 14, congrats.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
Yeah, 44% good, 25% bust. But it wasn't the upper echelon performer was the point. Like he didn't have a lot of those weak winning performances, which is fine. I mean, he still had an amazing year for what we were expecting out of Sam Darnold. We talked about him a lot at the top, so we don't have to linger very long. But 33 passing touchdowns. So that was a career high.

Consistency rake of 11. First half consistency, 24. Second half, okay, eight. Neither of those are remotely close to drafting him in the third round as the quarterback three with all the hopes that he could come back and perform 13% great games, 25% good. Those numbers added up are not 50%. Not even close. 38% bust games. So, by my math, that is an equal number, right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
That is 38% bust, 38% greater good. That's tough, man.

It wasn't like it was Rashi Rice's injury that disturbed a great fantasy season. He was terrible with Rice. Fantasy production-wise, I mean, look at his profile on our site. He has an F in consistency. That means over the last 17 games played, he has exceeded the 20 fantasy point benchmark 23% of the time. I don't want a one-in-four chance of 20 points at quarterback.

Yeah, I mean, I feel like... The Chiefs will be whatever they need to be. That is the truth. I think they'll be whatever they need to be to win.

On the season, according to NextGenStats, on the season, not just in that game, he averaged 2.99 seconds in the pocket, which is the longest time in the pocket in the entire league and the longest since 2016. So the offensive line's performance... You know, he didn't have an offensive line when he was in New York. That was part of the problem.

Okay, Bo Nix, let's call this the teaser season. Okay. Because this was not – yes, there were some weeks that we made him a streaming quarterback, and he had games that were certainly worthy of it. But this was not the consistent breakout, I'm going to be a top 10 every year. He's not there yet. But this was a teaser of what's to come.

The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
If they add pieces to the offense, if they give them another year with Sean Payton, if you get what you got out of Cortland Sutton and you add another wide receiver or a tight end or a running back and you get more scoring opportunities, like 3,729, that's awesome as a rookie. To me, I'm just excited about the potential of a guy like this. You know, you're going to next year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Are people drafting Bo Nix or C.J. Stroud? That's going to be the fair combo.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
Unless they're C.J. Stroud, and that would be the counterpoint, right? Except he didn't run. Sure, but the counterpoint for C.J. Stroud or for Bo Nix is that, look, you can have a season that looks incredible as a rookie. We've seen it recently. And you will get a league that adjusts to you. And so there are growing pains. And sometimes, you know, C.J.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
You take away – you find a team that can scheme it or stop – the offensive line doesn't perform as well. You saw what you saw with Darnold season over. And just like that, 14 wins. Goodbye.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
Stroud, playoff team, not a great fantasy year this year. Everybody expected a lot more drafted in the fifth round. Bo Nix won't go anywhere near the fifth round. which is great. The hype will not be proportionate to Stroud, but even Herbert in that first year on fire, we've had up and down fantasy years. It's exciting, but you know the road is going to be windy.

And then Mike with Bucky, more than 86.5 rushing yards. I thought we were going to get there. You were very close. Josh still alive? Don't talk. Don't try talking. Yeah, you might cough.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
Or what you might have hoped for if you drafted certain players. This year, as you said, big rebound in terms of injury problems, right? Like last year, you had Burrow, Herbert, Watson, Rogers, Richardson, Cousins. Fields.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
The TRUTH: Top 10 Fantasy QBs + Scramby Daniels - Fantasy Football Podcast for 1/16
tons of injuries yeah fields missed four games last year this year they stayed much healthier than in 2023 the quarterback position as a whole they tied for the highest completion percentage of all time at the position they had the highest touchdown rate which is the percentage of touchdowns per throw per pass attempt it was the highest since 2020 the fewest interceptions and lowest interception rate over the last 15 years that's cool and

So, you know, if you want a refresher on how these guys were drafted before we get into the most consistent quarterbacks. Josh Allen was the highest off the board as a late second-round draft pick. Jalen Hurts in the middle of the third. Mahomes was the middle of the third pick. Late third, really. Lamar was a fourth-round pick.

And then another one that I think is... By the way, the Joe Mixon one, I'm a little scared about how that division is broken down. I know we're going to talk about team motivations, but Joe Mixon needs 1,100 yards. He's at 9'10". But I don't know if they can change their seating that much. Kyle, are you listening in here?

Okay, well, prior to kickoff, we got word that Hollywood Brown could make his debut next week. Oh, Carson Wentz is so happy. Right. I mean, let's get into it. Patrick Mahomes left late in the second half with a right high ankle sprain. He's undergoing additional imaging today. Andy Reid said no fracture. X-ray is negative. Next week, it's the Texans. Then it's the Steelers.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Or even like, I mean, I want more of the dump-offs. I want more of the short area design stuff that's, you know, less challenging, and that's where Kelsey can be your best friend. You know, tight ends are dropping like flies right now. I have a bunch of tight ends in Dynasty that I would have maybe been tempted to put ahead of Kelsey. Zach Hurts is gone, right?

Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16

Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, athletically, we'll see if he can play on it. Tommy DeVito ruled out with a concussion. Tim Boyle was a QB2. Now that Drew Locke is out, QB4 for their attempts at fixing that position.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Okay, I'm going to throw it that way. That's the smartest thing you can do. This one's a problem. This is my red alert of the week. Alvin Kamara left early with a groin injury, didn't return to the Saints game. He's considered day-to-day, but the problem here, And it's a big one. It's a Monday night football game for the Saints next week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Now, God willing, we find out early in the week that he's doing fine. But when you don't come back into a game, I'm worried. And the Monday night football situation, now you can go pick up Kendrick Miller. He's going to be a waiver wire pickup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I don't know. He said he started crashing last night, and then we got the infamous 3.42 a.m. Slack message that said, consider me doubtful for tomorrow, which, you know, 3.42 a.m., you're not going to see him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
But if he's already picked up in your league and you're looking at Monday night football, the pivot options are not going to be there. You're going to have to make a call on players on Sunday.

Oh, so you're – wait, you said you're still in the playoffs? Is that what that is? Yep. Cool, man. You know, it was great because there were all these moments yesterday where it was really over. But I knew – I could look over at Jason and I'd see him just – his eyes were on the screens with his players and, you know, that touchdown by Cincinnati that wasn't a touchdown. I mean, he's all of us.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I feel a lot better since 3.42.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And it's not over yet. So you just need Darnold to not use Jefferson to the tune of 50 plus.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And then Bichon needs to go out first play. So you're scared there, Al? Back there, you're really terrified?

You know, it's not every week that Lamar Jackson can go out, throw five touchdowns, and score as many fantasy points as he did, and end up third on the week. But Josh Allen and Jared Goff outperformed Lamar Jackson's five-touchdown performance. Allen absolutely going crazy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He's going to be an MVP.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
James Cook. Ty Johnson. Yeah, Ty Johnson's involved now.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, it's Ray Davis. It's very much – he's the – what do they call the one that leads the orchestra?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, is that what it is? It didn't sound that impressive of a name. The conductor. He is the conductor of the orchestra, and it doesn't matter what, you know, instrument he wants to play on any given game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, he said he wanted peace of mind. Jared Goff in a comeback effort in the same game, just behind Josh Allen. He had 500 yards and five touchdowns.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
See, he's going to end up a top 5, 6, 7 quarterback on the year, and yet.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, fantasy-wise, his consistency rating on our side is D. That is 35% of the time over 20 points. And the ones that were over, they were way over. He had big games and can always do that. Lamar Jackson in three quarters, was it? Maybe less than that. Pretty much. 290 and 5, 6 for 65 on the ground. And I was thinking about this this morning. I don't know why I was thinking about it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
It was just like a random thought that popped into my head. But the Steelers is the matchup next week. And TJ Watt. With the injury, that could be a significant change to the Steelers' defense against Lamar Jackson.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I think the word I was looking for, Brooks, thank you, was maestro. Maestro is a much more impressive title for the head of an orchestra than a conductor.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I think conductors are called maestros.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
A distinguished conductor of classical music is a maestro.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Because the other one, you could be, like, at the front of a train as well, right? Because you've got to – Yeah, they conduct trains. Jalen Hurts, 25 for 32, 290 and 2, one rushing touchdown, and they haven't lost in a really long time.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
It wasn't time yet. I told you, when I made the guarantee, it was time then. There's a time for everything, Jason.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
It feels a little bit like just getting through Christmas is dodging. Because you're at all of these events. If you have kids, kids are, I mean, they're a problem. Yeah, they're a huge problem for disease. And, you know, I had to go to a recorder concert.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He's a maestro back there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
You know, it's going to be tough because I don't think anybody is going to bench him this upcoming week at all. Against the Eagles. But you're playing Philly where he was the quarterback 24 in week 11. Philly's defense is outstanding. You're going to have Jaden Daniels McLaurin stacks that you've got to worry about.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
No, you just need to hope that that game becomes a more high-scoring affair in the division somehow. But I'm not sure it will. I think that could be tough. You talked about Baker, and we'll move on to running backs. James Conner, the running back one on the week. Jameer Gibbs, the RB2. James Cook, the RB3. Those of you that stuck with James Cook, you know, it was tough after last week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
You got scared. You got started shaking with fear. But if you stuck with him, you were rewarded.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Amari Cooper killed people.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
His snap counts weren't that off of last week either.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
You didn't like Montgomery's five attempts for four yards?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
No, but he never dropped the ball right before crossing the goal line. Oh, man. That is one in his corner. Chase Brown yet again delivering a big game. Tajay Spears after Pollard left Spears. Well, early in the game, too, he got a goal line opportunity and Statue of Liberty'd himself up into the stratosphere.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
That's the thing. I see Deuces Alley laughing because it was two hours of people playing recorders. But that's a gathering of people. Did they play Hot Cross Buns ever? No. Oh, come on, man. No, that's too easy for them.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Josh Jacobs was awesome yet again. 26 for 94. Rushing touchdown. He was kind of the whole offense in the first half. Four targets. Four for 42. He has been on fire. Five straight top ten finishes. And he kind of feels better than, like, you go into this week and, like, Derrick Henry is kind of in a lull right now in the offense. And they got Pittsburgh.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And how do you, I mean, you got to feel really good if you have Jacobs.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I don't want to leave it. I don't want to go bypass James Connor in a conversation there because he was 16 for 110. He had two rushing touchdowns. He caught five passes. He is so close to finishing the season, but next week is Carolina. They're the worst rushing defense in the league. And Trey Benson left injured and didn't come back. That's why I wanted to bring it up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Trey Benson is out with an injury. Amari DiMarcato is already out. The Cardinals are in a very Chuba and Carolina situation where there isn't backups. James Conner, this is what we said about his schedule. It was going to line up really, really well for running backs down the stretch. Carolina and then Los Angeles in the title game. Pay attention to that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And then like we said, Spears is going to be really relevant. Pollard might miss. I mean, he just might not be able to play.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Then it's like you were at plays for your kids. I was at a Grinch play with my daughter. And just tons of people there. You've got to dodge illness. And Mike, obviously, unskilled. Yeah. And I didn't think you'd be here because I thought you might be sick today.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah. Anybody else at the running back position you want to talk about, Jason?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Dowdle is trying to break his own record every week. Rashad White got into the end zone again, start of the week, 15 for 64. Bucky was great, just didn't score.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Well, they're right there for the playoffs. Tomorrow morning?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yep. Wide receivers, top scorers. My really crappy backing into the Dynasty playoffs six-seed team has Devontae Adams and Mike Evans.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I told him early in the morning that day. You're like, I don't know. I mean, you obviously made the right call.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He had the monster game. After kind of a slow start. Nine for 198 and two. Amazing to see what he's still capable of.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, every time it got to be third down, you knew where the ball was going and it didn't matter. Mike Evans, 9-for-1, 59-2. He was outrageous. He showed you the kind of ceiling that he can give Baker because he has an elite weapon. Amon Ross, St. Brown. It was a weird one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
That was a weird one. This is not the way the Lions want to play football. They don't want to throw the ball 18 times to Almonra, but when you do, 14 for 193 and 1 is in the cards, and this is a big game for him. Brian Thomas, 10 for 105 and 2. Brian Thomas.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
You mean for this season?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Las Vegas next week, not scary. Then Tennessee. So Brian Thomas, strong finish. Terry McLaurin, two more touchdowns.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, he's been outrageous. Devontae Smith and A.J. Brown both got it done against Pittsburgh.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Malik Nabors, 10 for 82 and 1. Rashad Bateman, two touchdowns. He's always a threat down the field. CeeDee Lamb, 9 for 116 and 1. Keeps getting it done with Cooper Rush.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And then Dobbs with two touchdowns last night on 40 yards. This one was interesting to me. Xavier Worthy with 11 targets.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He had a pretty good performance, and it's the most receptions he ever had.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Would you say that your team didn't quite cross the goal line?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
There'll be a lot of unique, schemed plays for Carson Wentz, and we just don't know who those will involve. Nico Collins scored twice. Thank goodness he only had four catches for 17 yards.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, it should be. It should be good. I just – there's part of me that's terrified that the Winston benching – I just don't want that to – I was so happy to see Dorian Thompson Robinson come in and look awful and throw a pick of his own.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I mean, you had Jonathan Taylor and the Bengals who both couldn't finish running over a goal line.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, yeah. No, it was wild. Tight ends, Johnny Smith, Sam Laporta, Trey McBride. Brenton Strange? Brenton Strange, if you don't know who he is, that's because most people don't. He's the tight end for Jacksonville after losing Mr. Evan Ingram. Yeah, he had 11 for 73 on 12 targets. That's kind of wild. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, I mean, you know, the role is... It'd be a strange name to have in your lineup in semifinal week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
We've got, you know, we had a lot of disappointing performances at the tight end position, but Pat Fryermuth got back into the end zone for a third straight week, so that was nice. We'll take a break. We'll talk duds.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Well, it's commiseration time, Mr. Moore. Let's do it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, we actually did announce that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I have to pee really bad. No, I know you do. I know you do. And I know that the deuces are over there hoping that at any moment you choose to get up. See, I wasn't sure if I should bring it up, but you messaged everybody.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I guess, theoretically, if they win. Well, no, I don't want to incentivize them to go in their pants. Okay. I do. Because they would. They would do that. They have no pride or decorum. Yeah. They are no maestros. All right, duds. Brock Purdy, Kyler Murray, Tua Tungavailoa, who turned the ball over four times.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Well, Houston was above 500. Maybe it's not just really good teams. If you're above 500, you've got a bad shot. The 49ers are a game below.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Kyler Murray, can you even trust him against Carolina on the road next week?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Jameis Winston got benched. He played really bad. I mean, just really, really, really bad. There were plays that you were just like, oh, gosh, Jameis, this is embarrassing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
It didn't matter what side came up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
We had, was it Malachi Corley for the Jets did it? Yes. Because it was going to be his first career touchdown. Hold on to the football until you're 100% sure you're in the painted area. But this, Al Borland was there for about half the day. And you two were yelling at each other. Every good thing that happened. Every bad thing. Very loud. It was entertaining. It was fun. I have a bye.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, Will Love sucks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Running backs, we had some down weeks from the top three running backs. Derrick Henry, Saquon Barkley. You know, they were – Saquon was – I mean, these are okay games for the ordinary player, but not for these guys.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, and it's Pittsburgh next week, so these are guys you're playing. These are just moments of, like James Cook last week, where you were like, uh-oh, this is not great. Do I have confidence? Well, you're going to play your stars. Joe Mixon's going to be a tough one, too. 12 for 23. He did catch five passes, but it's against Kansas City next week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Chuba Hubbard, this was disappointing. Dallas is a weak run defense, but they're getting stronger. 10 for 32 on the ground, though. That's chubby Hubbard.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Montgomery, we talked about it. He did catch four passes, but he ran for four yards and was barely on the field. Only the second game below double digits all year for Monty.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, they play Chicago next week. That should be your saving grace if you have him. Chicago, they'll be heavily favored, and that's a plus matchup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
tyrone tracy jr did not play well 10 for 31 against baltimore one catch the touchdown went to singletary the one catch was the real problem i mean he had 10 targets the week prior obviously two quarterback changes and it's hard to know what you could bake on from that but his involvement in the passing game is what allows him to be good naji harris had a terrible terrible terrible game this is the philly matchup um
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
You know, next week it's Washington, right, facing Philly. The running game for Washington, I'd be terrified. Philly gave up 14 yards to Najee and 12 to Jalen Warren. And a fumble for Najee. It was a disaster for your team.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, wide receiver, Cooper Cup, Gustia, Debo and Juwan Jennings on Thursday. We talked about this game. Very disappointing. And here we are with Tyreek Hill after a 20-plus point week last week, 2 for 36.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
It was all I could live for. Right, yeah, our enjoyment. But if Al had been here when Jonathan Taylor did what he did and that had been consequential, I can't imagine what Al would have done.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I like Lamar more. Why do you ask?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, and I gave up some picks. I gave up some picks. Yeah. I love that you guys are so stuck on these trades that I've made. I'm proud of the trades that I've made.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And the results as the year goes on, I'm more proud of them. Because when you make a trade, you hope it works out in a way where your friends hate you because of the trades.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Y'all take the, like the other parts away. Cause you just, you're so overwhelmed with my greatness. Who won the title last year? Uh-huh. Yeah. Yeah. I hope you pee yourself, Jason. Me too. DK Metcalf is in the midst of a full disappearing act. Yeah. I mean, he's been not good, not medium, horrible. 32, 37, 41, 44, 57, and now might not have Geno and playing Minnesota.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, and in the 17-game seasons, that's 50 yards a game, basically. That's not going to get it done.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I think that's Cooper Cup by a lot.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Because I think Amari Cooper was not played by everybody. But, yeah, if you played him, you're probably not going to be prepping for a lineup next week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And then Calvin Ridley could not overcome the Will Lovis experience. Three for 41.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Oh, you're right. And he didn't score on these. Yeah. Put on another uniform, catch it and then run the other way.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
But you got throttled regardless. Like five more guys could have dropped the ball before the goal line.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He was 45% completion percentage. He's up to 47% of the year.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Josh Allen as a rookie, do you remember his completion percentage?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
The 69 was when he got Stephon Diggs. In 2020. But yeah, right now... Right now, people just need to chill on Richardson in general. Yeah. On both sides. Every game, I'm seeing declarations of, I'm right about this or that. He's got the same amount of games played as Bo Nix. He started 12 collegiate games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He is super, super inexperienced as a professional quarterback, which is why you see some plays that look like he is the next Lamar Jackson player You know, a superstar, the next Cam Newton. And then there are plays that he looks absolutely awful. And just relax. Like, don't you don't need to decide what he is yet.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Is that a triggering word for you right now?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Maybe if you cried a little bit from the- I would cry urine. Well, that'd be gross. That'd be pretty gross. Okay. Kelsey, four for 27. Cade Otten, is he?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I knew I had a Cade Otten problem, so I went out and I got a couple of guys. Who'd you get? Zach Ertz.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
He's concussed. But no, I had Taysom Hill.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Well, it's not working. Yeah. That's going to be my downfall. Hunter Henry, just four for 25. Jake Ferguson, just two for 23. And Tucker Kraft was Tucker Kraft this week. Nice. Well, little did you know, Jason, we actually have a surprise 60-minute mailbag coming up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
No, we don't. We've got waivers and streamers tomorrow and hungry for more of the Thursday Night Preview in the mailbag. We'll be getting you ready for your semifinal matchups. And when I say you, I meant Al, not you, Jason. I'm sorry. But you do have, you got your champ, champ, champ team.

Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Yeah, big game for Amon Ra. Terry McScoran, once again. And wham, bam, thank you, lamb. Okay. The bad, like Toilet Tongue of Viloa.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Kyler murdered me. Yeah, he did. And Jason, a little combo here, me and you. Lamest Winston. Jamest Benched Son. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I wonder what your objective reaction to Marvin Harrison would be because you, on our, I think it was our bust episode, you called this. You said, not all paths lead to greatness for Marvin Harrison in his rookie season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Most people thought that he was on his way to a dominant year, that there was just no way that that couldn't happen with the way the targets broke down in the offense and the Cardinals.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
And if I'd even told you ahead of time that the Cardinals would be sitting a game out of first place, you know, with a 500 record at this stage in the season, you'd probably be even more inclined to believe that Marvin Harrison had a big season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And what I like about it is I can wear it, it looks casual, and then I can play some pickleball in those things. It's a performance jogger. It looks great. It's perfect for the low-impact workouts, or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too. Or maybe you're doing some yoga or some stretching, or even sitting at the desk in the studio.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I think Kyler sucks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I heard a good friend of the show, Matt Harmon, talk about Marvin Harrison and discuss him in the context of this is a bigger player that plays like a smaller player. Elite route running, you talk about what Amon Ra does well. He doesn't seem to go up and win on these routes that they're running him on The back shoulder fades, the corner fades. I've seen none of that.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Honestly, the areas, you guys might hear this out there and say, well, that's not true, and these teams have higher priorities. And you're right, except it happens a lot late in games. So when games are kind of put to bed, you saw CeeDee Lamb out there for the fourth quarter of games last year to break records for the Cowboys. I mean, that's for records, not incentives. But it's late in games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
I mean, even in the Arizona game, they very intentionally tried to call a play to get Trey McBride his touchdown. They knew I had guaranteed it on the show. They threw him one of those old Travis Kelsey underhand pitches, and he got stood up on the one-inch line, and they didn't get it to him. But I'm telling you, that's McBride and his touchdown.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Studs & Duds + Jason's Demise - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/16
Those are going to come into play at the end of games, and the same will go with some of these incentives, especially for important players.

Who? Tony Pollard.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I might have been too busy looking at my listener league team where Tony Pollard is one of my starters.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Hypothetical situation for someone totally different than me. Tony Pollard or... I'm going to take the or. Well, I'd say double or. Kendra Miller and Antonio Gibson are the two pivots. So if Tony Pollard doesn't play, I think it's Pollard.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Gross, dude. And I had Jalen Warren in that league who had a nice week. Yeah. But I felt the need to wait. Pollard, good matchup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

All right. That was today's news and notes presented by USAA Insurance. Oh, did I miss the Devontae Adams line?

He did not practice again on Thursday, Al. Yeah, I know. What are you going to do?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Okay. That's your pivot?

Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Dude, sweet. Yeah, there's not a lot of games where you're not double-guessing. Is that the expression I'm looking for?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I think second-guessing. Second-guessing.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Yesterday, Jason went with the unremember, which is exactly what I wanted to do with the Chicago-Seattle game. I wanted to un-remember that that ever happened.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Oh, is that what it was? Okay, yeah. Jason threw out an un-remember instead of forget, which, look, beautiful turn of phrase.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
You're willing to make a compromise. That's right. You know that they can't build that many stadiums that fast. Just schedule.

You know who might?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Jerry Jones. Yeah. We've got the new quantum computers coming out from Google. And the magic of quantum computing is optimization of data. So if we can... That's what I'm saying. I don't care if we get anything else out of quantum computing. If we could just tell me the weather... With certainty. You should be able to do that. Multiverse weather. Let's go.

Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Well, yesterday we covered three Saturday games. Chargers, Patriots, Broncos, Bengals, Cardinals, Rams. On Sunday games, we covered Jets, Bills, Raiders, Saints, Colts, Giants. And we're getting into it. Dallas 7-8, Philly 12-3. Philly, seven-point favorites, over-unders 38.5.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
This is a game that Vegas expects Philly to win on defense, which they should be able to do with no CeeDee Lamb, and Dallas has a 15.8 point implied point total. That's the lowest I've seen this year, I think.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I'd actually take the under and the total points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah, I think I am... Ferguson would be the biggest beneficiary in this dink and dunk to survive situation. I was going to ask you if you had to make a desperation pivot to a wide receiver, would it be Tolbert, would it be Cooks? It would probably be Sadness.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
On the other side, it's hard to be as confident with A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith if it's Kenny Pickett in a game that might be, like you said, a more conservative offense utilizing Kenneth Gainwell, Saquon heading towards the record. I mean, he's 268 rushing yards away.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Just imagine if he puts up another 150 in this game and what you're looking at going into the final week of the season with maybe not as much on the line and yet that record right there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Moving on to Carolina, 4-11 against the 8-7 Tampa Bay Buccaneers who are fighting for their lives. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Tampa minus 8. They're at home. The overrunner is 48-1. This is another game where we're going to see some weather. Anything from scattered showers to some wind gusts, I think this is one you're going to need to track a little bit.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
My biggest concern here, I've been pretty pro-McMillan in the early part of this week, I still think he's going to have the opportunity. But, I mean, you've got two starts of the week at the running back position right here in the show. And Mike and I went with Bucky Irving and Rashad White because the Carolina running defense is – I mean, it should be in quotes. It should be in quotes.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
And this is a game where I think, you know, that motivation difference – the fact Tampa is fighting for their lives, the front seven, the opportunity to push guys around that are pushed. You can easily push them around in Carolina. I think Bucky Irving, he's got a rush receiving line of 98.5. Nice. And I think those guys are going to be the dominators in this one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I'm becoming more hesitant about Baker having a big game. I think he'll have a good game. Where are you guys at with this matchup and all of the pieces involved?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Welcome in.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah, I don't want to throw too much cold water on that offense. Tampa's got an implied point total of 28. So, McMillan, Evans, White, Irving, Baker, all in play. And I think the weather is going to be okay. I don't want to overstate it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Sterling Shepard has not practiced this week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
We'll see what happens on Saturday. Oh, wait. No, that is Saturday. Connor Saturday. Son of a gun. All right. Thielen, 54 and a half. You talked about Chuba, Bryce Young and company. Legat's not practicing or he's limited. And a dart throw would be Coker in that game. If you can't run on Tampa, that's your wild dart throw of the week. Tennessee's three and 12. Jacksonville's three and 12.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Jacksonville one point home favorites. Overrunners 39 and a half. Scattered showers possible. Gross, gross, gross. Jacksonville and Tennessee are three and four. The winner of this game is the loser of this game. That is 100% the truth.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
No, and it's just what makes the NFL so unique. It's why Connor wants to play. It's why Kamara wants to play. It's why Olave wants to play. is that there is the brotherhood locker room aspect of the game. There is who wants to be here next year is part of what happens. It's not, you know, all of these guys are fighting for paychecks, right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yes, maybe Kamara and Connor get to come back no matter what, but are you out there for your brothers? Are you out there fighting to get them a paycheck for next season? Those things come into play. So in this game, goodness gracious, Chigakonkwo. You should play him. Jacksonville just gave up 10-plus catches to Brock Bowers last week. 34, or I'm sorry, they're not good against tight ends.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Well, I think maybe Tennessee is soft on defense, maybe. You know, I think I have more trust that Mac Jones is going to air it out, and I think Mason Rudolph is going to play conservatively. The over-under is low. I think it's a three-point game, and I don't know who wins, and whoever wins loses. So ETN, his rushing line is 38.5. Goodness gracious. Try to do something else.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Like Brian Thomas is the player you play because he's been unbelievable, double-digit targets. Chig, Brian Thomas. Ridley is a touchdown opportunity. And then Tajay Spears, Jason, you mentioned it. If Pollard misses, which for goodness sakes, Tennessee, give us this. If you're going to be this bad, just give us some clarity at running back.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I'm not because Tony Pollard can have an injured Tony Pollard can run on one of the worst run defenses.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Miami 7 and 8 taking on the 3 and 12 Cleveland Browns, another over, under, under 40. Miami 6.5 point road favorites. Heavy rain is in the forecast. Miami needs to stay alive. They've got to win. They have a slim chance, but they could do it. But if L.A. and Denver wins on Saturday, they're toast, and both of them play on Saturday. So there's that. Miami, Tua, A-Chan, Tyreek, Janu Smith.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Any hesitation with those core fours?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Dolphins have made a choice. that if they want to have Tua as their quarterback, they change the offense. His average yards per completion went from – or sorry, average depth of target went from nine to seven to now five. Oh, my goodness.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I don't know if it's depth of target or average completion, but they've all gone down because this is the way you play with a quarterback that has the risk of being knocked out for his career. If he's hit.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
He's gone from 7.8 yards per attempt to 4.2, which is still really good. But, yeah, not having the long plays like last year. On the other side, Dorian Thompson-Robinson. Could be him. He's been limited. Could be Bailey Zappi. Could be a combo.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
And then the Bears were three. This was 6-3 to see how it's... Not my football. Whoop to the Bears, 6-3. This was a terrible football game and a new... Loser punishment for your league. If you – I thought about this morning going on to Twitter and offering up a prize for somebody that delivers me a full live stream of them having to watch this game again. Oh, man.

Brown and out. We're not doing it. Not messing around with that team. Implied point total is 16. Yeah. Green Bay is 11-4, Minnesota 13-2. Here's what's interesting. DraftKings Sportsbook line, we have double-checked this. It's Green Bay minus one on the road.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Green Bay scored 30-plus in five straight.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Well, the Vikings stopped the run too. I like Jordan Love in this game. I think Jordan Love has a great opportunity to kind of put it all on display here. This is a game they need him to do that. Jaden Reed in the mix then. If you want to hit the nitro boost, you want a shot as an underdog, your shot's probably not Adam Thielen.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah, so, you know, cool. You have so much depth in your dynasty team, and I've always thought, I was like, man, you could consolidate some of that for more power. Thank goodness you got it.

Aaron Jones, Jefferson, Addison, play them. Hawkinson, he is a sketchy play. He is. Chig or Hawkinson? I'm going to go Chig. Yeah. That's the number one search on our website.

Sunday night football is Atlanta and Michael Pennix Jr., 8-7, with the ability to hold on to their top spot in the division facing the Commanders.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah. Washington, three and a half point favorites. The over-under is 47 and a half. Kyle, I don't know if you know where it opened. This is a game where rain is likely. It could be heavy rain. It's on Sunday night, so I'll get to watch it in isolation as each drip drop falls down onto the field. Now, you do have a running quarterback. You know that, though, right? Like, that's a good thing.

So, you know, that's how – That's like Guantanamo Bay stuff. Yeah. This is too far, Andy. I went to NFL.com this morning. Where's your humanity? The main picture on NFL.com, and I tweeted it. It said, re-watch Seahawks Bears with NFL Premium. What an ad. And I was like, I dare you. I don't think I will. I dare you. I dare you to watch that again. What was that? It was another lump of coal.

Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Sorry, I meant the over-under. Do we know is the over-under adjusted due to weather? It's held steady. Okay. All right. Both teams highly, highly motivated. Washington clenches a playoff spot if they can win this game. Atlanta clenches the division if they can win this game, which is wild. I know because of how bad they've been for the last – Two months. What is the Tampa scenario this week?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Because Tampa is.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Well, no, that's for Atlanta's purpose. I'm saying if Tampa wins, which they're playing Carolina in heavily favored, and Atlanta loses, which they're underdogs, that gives Tampa the. Yeah. I'm trying to see. They play.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah, if Tampa Bay wins and Atlanta loses, that puts them back into the lead. Okay, so Tampa can take the lead. I just wanted to know what that sets up for the final week there. Washington, it's been really, really special. Jaden Daniels, his passing and rushing yard line, 273.5. Now Terry McLaurin didn't practice Wednesday, limited on Thursday. Is this just maintenance for their main guy?

I genuinely thought the wild stat to you was going to be the fact that their head coach wears a hat has gone backwards hat in 12 or 15 games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Because Kyle, of course, knows that. Dan Quinn. 12 of 15 games with backwards hat, which I think we all admit he looks kind of silly, right?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

From silly to stupid? Can you try the backwards hat, Jay? Let me see. Let me see if your takes are different.

It was akin to what we saw from Houston's offense. I mean, Houston's offense scored fewer points than the Bears did. The Bears' offense scored three. Houston's offense did nothing. And they looked very similar, by the way. It was called an unmitigated pass rush. And offensive play calling an awareness by the quarterback that was drunk. I mean, I don't know what it was like.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

This is the way to finish the championship week. Fun fact, the 49ers are 25th against running backs on the year, 28th over the last six weeks. What position does Gibbs play?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
So Detroit favored, highly motivated. They are the number one seed. If they win and Minnesota loses to Green Bay, which Minnesota is now 1.0, they can lock up the number one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Both teams, we know it. The Lions, the 49ers, ravaged by injuries. Detroit has 22 players on IR. That's number one. San Francisco, 15 players. We do expect Isaac Garindo back out on the field. That's a good thing, right?

Huge game last week from Jamison Williams, Amon Ross St. Brown, Gibbs, and Goff all in play. Just so you know, Mike, you said you wanted more fun facts. Sam Laporta. I do. He's been the tight end five over the last seven weeks played. Okay. That's something. They have needed him more. They've utilized him more. His last four weeks, tight end eight, 11, one, and five.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
He has scored three touchdowns in the last four weeks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Can you call a play like you used to not be able to blitz good quarterbacks? It was like what they wanted you to do. Kurt Warner wanted you to blitz him. Drew Brees blitz him. I dare you. All Chicago did all game long was throw screen passes really, really quickly to the outside where they had five defenders.

Just so you know, before Montgomery went out, average opportunities per game for Jameer Gibbs was 16.8. First game without Montgomery, he received 28 opportunities.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
28 opportunities. It probably won't matter, but I hope it does. I hope. I mean, if it's 40-point lead, I'm still going to have a glimmer in the back of my head.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
If it gets to 50, I'm not going to have a glimmer. Yes, you will. But I did watch for inspiration this morning all six Alvin Kamara Christmas touchdowns. I watched them all. Were they good? They were great because it was like one, two, three, four, five, six.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
There was a taste on touchdown or something. And that game stayed competitive. That's why I want to see the 49ers go out here and make this game competitive. It's why I like the defensive injuries for Detroit for the sake of the fantasy output. And we do have an injury update. Jalen Waddell trending towards questionable tag. And Mike McDaniel says he's optimistic he can play. Wow. Oh.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Which would delete Malik Washington from desperation start category.

Well, it was a close one last week. The Devon Achan play gave Jason hope in one of his matchups, but it gave me the victory. 157, Jason 155, Mike at 116.

Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Oh, you both went that way. I actually went Tua at 5,800. Saved a few bucks. Very important game for Miami. Enjoy that weather. That's what I'm going to go with. Well, he throws the ball five yards. He don't care. Run through the air.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I have Jonathan Taylor as well, so we all have him at 7,900. I went Bucky Irving, and he's my start of the week. It's the Carolina game. I mean, 6,700 for Irving seemed like a slam dunk. Mike, your three wideouts.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Uh, I'm, I'm doing a double stack as well. Um, I've, I've locked it in. I didn't have time to pivot after the waddle news at the end. So I've got Tyree kill at 6,900 and Malik Washington at just 4,000. I also have McMillan. Okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I have the Raiders as well, and then my flex is a guy named Devon Achey. I have Devon Achey and Tyreek Hill, Malik Washington, and Chua on my lineup.

Probably going to have more even after the show's over. We do have an Injury Blitz podcast available to those who follow the show over at jointhefoot.com. Matthew Batts comments on all the injury reports, but very, very unlikely Jalen Hurts plays. Press conference this morning, Nick Sirianni said it's very unlikely that he can make it into that game. So that's it. That's it. I found him.

If you started Nico Collins or Joe Mixon, you sure as heck hoped your opponent had DK Metcalf or JSN or Keenan Allen. That's the balance of this week. And we walked in, and the first thing we said in the studio was like, Like, this was a rainy game. Like, this was a weather game. It wasn't the worst we're going to see this weekend. Right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
But Jason read off about 45 teams that have weather games this week, and it's going to blow up some games this weekend. That's going to happen. Yeah. There are going to be games where you're – Right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
rolling your eyes into the back of your head because it should have been, could have been, would have been the game you expected, and it was nothing because it's raining or windy or things of that nature. So if you had the bad game, like if you won a glass half full it and you had Keenan or JSN or Metcalf, You are now scanning the weather reports for your opponent's players.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I am doing that right now. I am looking at Al Borland, and I'm saying, Devontae Adams is playing in the rain. Jaden Daniels is playing in the rain. Cortland Sutton is playing in the rain. May they all slip and fall. But guess what? It's Friday.

We got more matchups today. We always got you covered here. That's why we're here Friday, December 27th. The final show before championship weekend. And very, very excited to see who can bring home that hashtag Foot Clan title. Let's talk news.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Let's begin with the tilt fest that is the shutdown of CeeDee Lamb. CeeDee Lamb is being shut down for the rest of the season. It's the right move for CeeDee Lamb. It's the wrong move for Michael Wright.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Oh, man. Next level, CD. There's so many fundamental elements to these decisions. I mentioned the fact that, like, the report we have this morning is that it's looking likely the Cardinals will have James Conner on Saturday night. For those wondering, yesterday you wanted to put me on the spot. What was I going to do? I needed more intel. As of right now, Conner's going to be in over McMillan.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
But part of the factor there is, well, he had a couple limited practices, seems to be doing well. The intricacies of the injuries and risk of re-injury is a factor for these teams. Like, CeeDee Lamb at any moment with an AC joint sprain, he falls on his shoulder all game long. You are risking a re-injury to a great degree. And for the Cardinals, they are in the position to play spoiler.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
They can disrupt the Rams making the playoffs a divisional matchup. And so, you know, there's things that we don't know. We don't know the severity of Conner's re-injury risk. But all that stuff swirls around to these decisions. We'll know more, and I'm going to stay water. That's an expression we use all the time. I'm not going to lock in my take here on a Friday morning if I get new information.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Yeah, if I get new information tomorrow, it'll be McMillan on Sunday morning. But as of right now, that's what I'm going to do.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
I only think they were eliminated two weeks ago. Then that's when they should have shut him down. Yeah, you're right. You're right. And T. Higgins questionable, limited three times this week. Gus Edwards ruled out. J.K. Dobbins is still not a guarantee. But it looks like he'll be back. I saw some less guaranteed reports. I mean, maybe you guys saw something different.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Obviously, with Edwards not available, you'd think he's there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
No, he's a hair product.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
It's worth saying this show isn't going anywhere just because championship week is over. We'll be here for the most painful week of the season, week 18, where all we're doing is talking about guys getting sat down because there will be a lot of them. But then we're here beyond. This show is a year-round fantasy football podcast. And we have a lot of fun in the offseason.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
We get to reflect on the reality, the truth of the season. We get to begin projecting so soon. I'm already watching college film, watching – Oh, yeah. College tight end. See what the next number one overall tight end will be this upcoming year. We're going to do it twice. I mean, two times in a row. It does appear so. Alvin Kamara did not practice, although not ruled out for the Saints.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Kamara, Connor. Pride, man.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Possibly. Possibly. We got word yesterday, Anthony Richardson still not practicing. First team reps going to Joe Flacco. Oh, boy. I saw a question, Superflex League. Bryce Young or Joe Flacco if Flacco plays. I went with Flacco that matchup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Malik, Nabors, Tyrone, Tracy both did not practice on Thursday. We're still waiting for updated reports there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
You need to have a pivot that works with the game time of your player this week because we've got games all over the place. So what time is the neighbor's game? Is that a Sunday?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Giants, 1 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. So if you have a bench pivot and they play on Saturday in the three Saturday games, that's not going to work. You're either going to have to make the call on Saturday and not play them.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
Very important. And you started saying all of that like a Dr. Seuss poem.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 17 Matchups + Championship Choices, Weather Worries? - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/27
If you're going to play a player and you play a player player. Kate Otten did not practice. Not going to be back out there. It doesn't look like Jalen Hurts didn't practice. Oh, Jalen Hurts probably knocked you out last week, but he's not going to be a part of your championship week. Most likely. And same goes for David Njoku, Jalen Waddell. We haven't seen a practice from Toling Pollard all week.

Jalen Waddell did not practice. We can probably stop updating about Jalen Waddell. He's not going to be in your lineup. Isaac Garando, we got news, unlikely to play.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
They're going to go to fifth string at the running back position, which will probably be if you had some Keyshawn Vaughn, Patrick Taylor combination that is not attractive. I'm not actively fighting for one of those guys right now. I don't know if you guys have a different opinion.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
All right, Alvin Kamara not expected to play on Monday. Season might be over for Alvin Kamara, so you're probably not getting him back next week if you make it through. It is certainly disappointing. He's been a key cog in championship runs.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Mike, we are facing each other this week. I was already an underdog, and now you will not be getting Alvin Kamara against you. I'm sorry for your loss. But guess what I got instead?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Ramond Ray Stevenson.

Yeah, that would be Al.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I think he got a concession speech from the other manager already due to Alvin Kamara's absence.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I love it. Bring the heat. We did get news this morning as well. Just one last bit here. We talked about James Conner, got the great matchup. Trey Benson's already out for Sunday's game, and Amari DiMarcato's on IR. So they are now down to two running backs on the roster, Conner and DJ Dallas.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Giants, Falcons, Lions, Bears, Browns, Bengals, Rams, Jets, Eagles, Commanders. And we're moving forward. Tennessee, 3-11. Indianapolis, 6-8. Games in Indy, where they are 3.5-point favorites.

It's going to be Mason Rudolph on the Titans side. Going to be Anthony Richardson once again at home. Tony Pollard we think could be active. We talked about his contract incentives. He's got a little ways to go to get to 1,100 yards, seven touchdowns. Tajay Spears was your hungry for more, Jason.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And then yesterday, Mike, this will be breaking news to you, but I am shooting my shot on Chigokonko this week. What? That's going to be my tight end start. So that is over Otten. League of record? That is over Britton Strange. Wow. So this was the breaking news yesterday. One more piece of data. I brought up the fact that the Colts are who you want to play if you're a tight end.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
We talked about the targets per route run being in the same place that Ridley's at. Over the last three weeks, here are the tight ends targeted the most on a per route basis. Number one was Najoku, 31% of the time. Number two in the NFL, ahead of McBride, Britton Strange, Hunter Henry, anybody else, is Chigokonko. He's number two in the league, 29% of routes run.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And so I am taking my shot on an athletic tight end as opposed to the plotting. You know, we got news that Britton Strange has an AC joint injury. Kate Otten is now missing two practices. We've got a concussion that maybe Zachary gets back from. Like, if you're bottom of the barrel is all I'm saying. It's going to be Chick for me. He's in my lineup. That's the way I'm riding. All right. I get it.

Did you listen to any of the podcasts?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Is that where the, like, NFL street cred is? Is, like, how quick can you drop the football after breaking the plane so that everyone's trying to get it close?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
For whatever reason, he hasn't had huge games against Tennessee in the past, but the matchup looks good on paper. Is there a wide receiver on the Indianapolis side that you would feel a level of confidence in this week? No. I know Alec Pierce has banged up. Maybe there's a little bit of consolidation of the 45% completion rate.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, I want to hit the almost upset button, but it feels like this game is so boring anyways.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It's also hard to play defense on a short field because Levis gives you a short field. The Cardinals are 7-7, taking on the 3-11 Carolina Panthers. The DraftKings Sportsbook line Arizona minus 4.5. The over-under is 47. There you go. Carolina, we got a little bit of a retread. No, that's not the word. A retracement. That's not a word. Yeah, it is.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, I mean, I've got Mr. Stocks over there looking at me. Bryce Young just, he went backwards a little bit last week. That was the point.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
institutions such as a stock or index all right my man look at that that's impressive i'm just saying shares of bryce young the price went down a little bit last week um you know turnovers uh arizona on the road four and a half point favorites he's still a competitive nfc west cardinals right there one game behind carolina's rush defense it's awful They're giving up 173 rushing yards a game?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
That would be the most all-time. James Conner's going to be pretty good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Jason made him his start of the week on that basis, basically.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It's tough to take him down. Talk to me about the other parts of the offense because I think people have been laboring with the Kyler Murray decision this week. We've seen him in there. It's Kyler or Love. It's Kyler or Darnold. It's Kyler or Goff.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Are you? Okay. Yeah, we had spent some time on the show talking about how little we had heard from you. which told us everything we needed to know where it was like, there was, there was no update.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
They win games where he doesn't have good fantasy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
That's a Mark Sanchez.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
So it's concrete. My man, Mark Sanchez.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I don't remember which one it was. The Cardinals are playing, and it's just, all of a sudden, the announcer just keeps yelling concrete.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
No one's ever heard about that out here in Arizona.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It's also the name Concrete. There are better nicknames. All right, on the other side, Chuba Hubbard's Russian receiving line is 90 and a half. He's also a very good play. Going right back to Chuba Hubbard after a disappointing week. And then Adam Thielen. I think Adam Thielen is a great start. Leggett, Moore, Coker, all banged up. Be careful. No, don't be careful. I'm going to play him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And I'm going to play him over Jacoby Myers, Jason. I made that decision.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, I'd probably stay with Judy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, and Thielen's in that group over the last five weeks where it's 12.3 points a game. It's about where Shakir is. It's 0.2 ahead of Myers. It's where Tyreek's been. It's where McConkie's been. He's fine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah. He never tweeted during the whole time either.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He's clinking them together frequently.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I think there's 10 targets in the cards for Thielen. I would agree with that. Whatever you're happy... If you're happy with 10 targets, he catches 75% of his passes. He's going to be fine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Trey McBride, he spat in the face of my touchdown guarantee after they tried to get him that little.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It is not.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
They will try a little harder at the end of games to get that done.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He is a safer start, yes.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He's only had one target, I think, inside the 10 in the last month. So Harrison is a wide receiver 28. You need to treat him that way, not the way you drafted him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
wait wait there i'm in reality yeah that's i'm no longer half here half in the phantom zone well we're happy to have you back uh jay grizz once again disappointed in in your absence he didn't do much he does i mean he he looks good yeah yeah he hasn't aged a day makes jason look small that's true But you're back in time for the wheel of shame today. Congratulations.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
How is this possible? Cardinals could win the division still. Minnesota's 12-2, taking on the 8-6 Seattle Seahawks. DraftKings Sportsbook line, Minnesota minus 3. Over-under is 42.5. An amazing job by Kevin O'Connell with these Vikings. They have been outstanding. The defense, so formidable. Make you basically, you know, you have to pass. You don't really get the choice to run on them.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
That's where the dilemma of Ken Walker becomes more complicated. There will be a re-injury risk. It might not be high. But he's been hurt multiple times this year. And you're coming back from injury in a terrible matchup. You know, he missed two weeks early in the season. He missed two weeks late in the season.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And we were already a little bit, Mike, you've been frustrated with the bone zone becoming the charbon zone anyways. So it does feel a little nerve-wracking. We talked about it a lot earlier. My start of the week at wide receiver was JSN, who is the guy right now and has a safe PPR floor.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I would be playing Harrison over Metcalf if I had that choice because Metcalf has had what two months of disaster.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It's mixed with Jason's emergence, too.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
You guys, would you roll Jawan Jennings over Metcalf?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Jennings for sure. Jalen McMillan over DK Metcalf?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I think it's close. I really do. I think that's name over opportunity. I think that one's close. I probably wouldn't have the guts to not see if I can get a Metcalf game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I'll take Darnold. I will, too. Eileen Darnold as well. Yeah, we got them ranked pretty high. The Patriots are 3-11. Powerhouse, Ramondre Stevenson-led Patriots going into Buffalo. Cool. Buffalo, 11-3 at home. They have an implied point total of 30. They are 14-point home favorites with an over-under of 46. That gives the Patriots 16 points. Away we go. Start Josh Allen. Start James Cook. Yep.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
They take care of business.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, well, you know, we'll see what happens. YouTube.com slash the fantasy footballers. I did want to take a second. We're coming to the end of the season. We've got semifinal week. We're previewing games today. We've got the fantasy face-off at the end of the show. Next week is championship week. Although, it's funny. I talked to somebody yesterday whose championship week is this week. Really?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
By the way, I have a plan for you guys. I think that would be really cool. You have a plan? Save your money. Arthur. Combine and save your money. All of our money? For a few years. Yeah, both of you. Okay. Build a stadium.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
oh we're gonna start saving yeah and that's all of our build it yeah it's all okay build a dome and then when you have the dome every time you see a bad weather game coming up invite the teams to play ah and then if they turn you down if they turn you down it's like you had a dome available yeah but that was a lot of money it they are they a lot
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
A stadium? Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, we could do like a tax thing, right? Like a 6,000% tax on the UDK?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I'm 100% in. If you don't have to pay for it, you are in.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Who was that... Did you guys ever see that documentary about the guy that pretended he was like a super billionaire? And... Got in a league. Yeah, he was like buying the... Was it the Nets? The Knicks? I forget, but I know what you're talking about. It was all fake. It was all fake. And he just... He got way down the road on buying the team.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Not as great as you think it'd be.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Ramondre is not going to be great, but... The matchup, at least, they give up 22 fantasy points a game to running backs. You hope it comes early. Yes, you do. And Hunter Henry's receiving line is 42.5. Hunter Henry is not a path to a championship to me.

The idea that you go down the line like, I'm going to buy a suit. I'm going to buy a suit. I'm going to have a limo drop me off. That's amazing. I think he produced a bunch of fake documents.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah. All right, Jacksonville 3-11, the Raiders 2-12. Neither of these teams should try to win this game. The DraftKings Sportsbook line is Las Vegas minus one and a half. The over-under is 40.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Oh, because they make the bad decisions?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I mean, Aiden O'Connell's going to be back?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah. They never moved it when the NFL added a game or something? No, and so that meant that their first week of the playoffs was the week when the Ravens and everyone was on bye. Oh, my goodness. I was like, what are you doing? It's your league. I was like, what are you doing? If only.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Brock Bowers needs 109 receiving yards to break the NFL record for a rookie tight end.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He has not been prolific of late, even with Aiden O'Connell. He did have a number one overall finish because he can go 10 for 140, but the three other weeks surrounding it outside the top 15 at the position. So, you know, any defense that wants to try to stop this team, that would be the guy to try to cover. Brian Thomas Jr. has been awesome with Mac Jones. Mac Jones is just chucking it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He's got as many 20-point fantasy games as C.J. Stroud this year. Which is one. Which is one. Etienne and Bigsby, are we freaking out if we have to put them in our lineups?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
What a horrible game to have to watch with your players in there.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
This is two bad defenses.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I mean, 11 targets. It's just a matter of health. They said he's going to be out there. 11 catches on 12 targets. It's a great matchup for tight ends. So he's still an option, a desperation play. I agree. And, yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Nope, not going to do it, but I could. You never know. All right, we'll take a break. We'll get into the rest of the matchups.

And what I like about it is I can wear it, it looks casual, and then I can go, I can play some pickleball in those things. It's a performance jogger. It looks great. It's perfect for the low-impact workouts or maybe I'll play some one-on-one, maybe that high-impact workout too. Or maybe you're doing some yoga or some stretching or even sitting at the desk in the studio.

The over-under is 44.5.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, yeah, and they were together for a really, really long time on coaching staffs throughout the years. We are down to the fifth string running back for San Francisco. A lot of their offense is predicated on a competent running game. I don't have the Patrick Taylor confidence that maybe – I'm not quite where Jason is, just believing that it'll be all him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
But to be fair, that's a shot you could take to be fair.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Definitely play A-chan. His receiving line, receptions-wise, five and a half. I think Tyreek Hill will be okay in this game with the injury to Waddle. His line is also five and a half receptions, and that is exactly where Johnny Smith's line is. So five and a half for all three of those guys. Yeah, everyone gets five and a half.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Malik Washington would be like a sneaky DFS punt play type of player with Waddle being out with no OBJ.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
You said, or would he?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah. Juwan Jennings on the other side, his line 62 and a half. Juwan Jennings, I like him this week. I think you'll be happy he's in your lineup. Kittle's in your lineup. And then Jason, where are you with Tua after the really disappointing performance last week? He's also, like there is, like he's going to play, but he's got a hip injury.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Before we talked about the 34-27 Thursday night football game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Like an offensive performance.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, that's going to hurt fifth-string running back Patrick Taylor a little bit or whoever else gets opportunities. On Sunday night, we get the Buccaneers, 8-6, taking on the 6-8 Dallas Cowboys. Tampa road favorites by four, over-unders 48. That is the highest of the week. We have some news here. Baker Mayfield, Laser Mayfield himself, Could be the new Kirk Cousins of primetime.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He has lost eight straight primetime starts. Laser? What's going on?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Phasers and lasers can't handle primetime?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
This game, the Broncos started hot.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
The Buccaneers implied point total is 26. It's the highest over under the week. It's one of the reasons I like Jalen McMillan a lot. The Hutton injury is another reason. The fact that he's been on an upward trend as a young rookie who's finally catching a higher percentage of his passes, getting on the same page. I like him as a flex. Evans is in your lineup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Rashad White's been the RB10 since week seven. He's in your lineup. Bucky Irving, if he's active, you got to play him. That's where I'm at.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Just machine-like to begin the game?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He's just too good. And I think if he's active.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Mike, you are inching very close on your bold prediction show. You had said Rico Dotto would be a top 20 running back. He is RB 23 in total points, 27 in fantasy points per game. And is playing in semifinal matchups.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
So I'm facing Dowdell. You will. And it's wild when you'd much rather have him on your team than Romandre for this matchup. His career highs in rushing yardage have been 112, then he went to 131, then he went to 149. Top 10 performances in three straight weeks. It was the giant Cincinnati and Carolina, so we're going to contextualize it. Those are juicy.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Has not been catching the ball as much. No.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
No, I'm talking to Coach Mike McCarthy. There's too many Mikes. Thank you, Mike. You're welcome, Mike. Yeah. No, there's a little bit too many of us. Tampa's been number one against the run the last six weeks, so maybe that's a red flag for a big game. I don't know. But Rico Dowdle's in a lot of lineups, and it's been nice that CeeDee Lamb has been getting it done with Cooper Rush.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Despite him being banged up.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It seems that way. And then I think we're just staying away from the tight end position in Dallas at this point. Yeah, it's unfortunate. Yeah, it's not been good since Ferguson's returned. So I think that summarizes that one pretty good. Monday, we got the 5-9 Saints against the 10-4 Green Bay Packers, where Green Bay is... Now sitting as a 14-point home favorite.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
It's my favorite defense of the week, the Packers, at home against Spencer, Rattler, and nobody else. The over-under is 42 points. That gives the Saints the lowest of the week, 14 points on offense. I really don't know how they move the football.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I don't think Kendrick Miller is... It's hard for Kamara to produce when the offense is this bad, and he still finds a way, generally, in the passing game. I... Kendra Miller's rushing lines at 51. You're playing a Dowdle over a Kendra Miller, right? Yeah. You're playing a Pollard even with the health concerns over a Kendra Miller?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Let me read you literally the most popular start sits on the site. Ford or Kendra Miller Miller or Taylor Miller or Downs Miller Miller or McMillan Miller or Tracy Miller or Dowdle Miller or Pacheco Miller or Spears Miller or Brian Robinson Miller
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
He is the biggest question of the week. And I wish I could tell you I've seen enough film of Kendra Miller to have the confidence that he's going to do great things.

Would you take the over-under on their implied total of 14.3 points? Because I'm taking the under.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
You play Kendra Miller or Josh downs. Cause there'll be a flex decision for people.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

And Madison, the Madison Kendra Miller decision?

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Jordan loves my start of the week at the quarterback position. Jacob's been amazing. What do you do with the roulette of letdowns that you get in Green Bay receiving options? This is such a plus matchup. You know, Jaden Reed, I don't see the split right in front of me here. He was like the wide receiver seven through the first ten weeks. He's been like the wide receiver 46 since then.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, week one was four for 138 and a touchdown. 31 points in week one and 23 in week four.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And that's kind of how it goes with him. Like, are you playing him? I mean, there are a lot of people with injuries. No more David Montgomery. I know Kyle's in that situation. I don't think he's a horrifically bad play, but you're... Is it Watson? Is it Dobbs? Is it Reed? What's the order?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
That's where I'm at. Yeah, I would as well.

Snatching that one right off the ground. Did you see his interview about that catch? I did not. He was very Kawhi Leonard. Romeo? They're like, talk about that catch. And then he just kind of sat there and he's just like, yeah, I just caught the ball. I was like, all right. Yeah, because we don't have to talk to everybody. That would be, yeah, no, we know that, Mike.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
The only message we would have gotten from Mike this week would have been a small message that just said, I am dead. And then you would have let us know, and that would have been it. But you're back, and just in time.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Well, well, well, last week I managed to bring it home 151.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Yes. Thank you, Amon Ra. Jason won by two points over Mike, making Mike the shame. It's time to spin.

It's holiday season. It's the holiday season. Okay, so we got a coat. We got a coat. We got a beard. We got a wig.

Yeah, I mean, what do you have on your Christmas list this year, Jason?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Oh, no, I wouldn't recommend it. Oh, no.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, I mean... Culling the stocking in the form of Brees Hall. You've already got that for Christmas. Oh, yeah. Yeah. All I want. Oh, this is good. I hope we bought this wig from the same place he bought those darn troll wigs for us so that he can breathe it for the next six to eight years. I'm working on it. No, no, no. We'll pan back to you momentarily.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, no. Spare no expense. Spare no expense. This is good. This is very good. All right. Well, I'll get it started. We've got our fantasy face-off for the week, revealing our lineups. I am going to right a wrong. I mean, not that it was a wrong. I won last week. But I'm actually going Aaron Rodgers this week. 5,600. He's at home. He's been playing great.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And I'm taking Aaron Rodgers in the savings.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
You forgot the glasses, Mike.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

This is good for us, Mike.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Lower that down. That's supposed to go below your nose, Mike. You got to put it below your nose. There you go. There you go. That's where the mouth hole is. All right, yeah. Now you look like jolly old Saint Nick.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, no, I paid a little bit more than you did. My running backs, Jameer Gibbs, $7,500. James Conner, $7,100. Same. Jameer Gibbs and James Conner are mine. So we are just eating up that money, sharing those running backs. Oh, I got plenty more money. Devontae Adams at 7,100 stacking with Rodgers. Marvin Harrison all the way down at 5,400 now for Arizona.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
And Malik Washington at 3,700 is my savings.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
I figured that would be the case. At 8,500. That's a lot of quiche. That is the gap between your Michael Penix and Rodgers is the gap between Chase and Adams. Right. My tight end, no surprise here, Chigokonko, 3,400. My flex, you might know him as Devon A. Chan, 7,400. Nice. And I'm going Titans defense in the upset that I picked earlier against the mistake-prone Anthony Richardson, 2,600.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
This was a game where I think, you know, just the greatness of Justin Herbert was on display. Oh, my gosh. He was so good. I think it was the Darius Davis touchdown that was – it didn't make sense the way his arm angle was.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Ho, ho, ho. Well, we did just get some breaking news here, Nick Sirianni, talking about A.J. Brown's knee injury, which just popped up on the injury report Thursday. Oh, no. We'll see, he said, about whether he'll practice today. Oh. We'll see about whether he'll practice. Okay. Something to monitor here. We do have an Injury Blitz podcast coming out soon.

And McConkie had a good game. Dude, that Gus run. The Gus bus. That was a vintage Gus Edwards run. Yeah, he was 14 for 68 and 2. Superstar Marvin Mims, Jason, led the way for Denver's passing game, 3 for 62, just further separating from that chump Troy Franklin. He had two catches of his own. Yeah, but you know what? I'm gaining. I'm gaining on you. But Cortland Sutton, five for 50.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Everything was pedestrian in this one. If you started Sutton, which I think tons of people did. We had three or four in our office that did that. This was not... This was not the worst thing that could have ever happened. I believe in our league, he showed up about a point and a half under where they had him projected.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Because it didn't feel that way.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
So all that being said, we don't have a Thursday night goose of Cortland Sutton to add to the cup and the read. It wasn't a league-winning performance. It's probably not going to define your week either direction, but that was kind of the summary of the game.

All righty. We have Saturday games this week. You get that trickle of fantasy points coming in throughout the weekend, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. Patrick Mahomes off the injury report will play because, of course. This was good news, really good news, and I've seen all the practice videos as well. Joe Mixon off the injury report and will play in the game. Still a tough matchup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Still really, really want him in your lineup if you have Joe Mixon and you've been leaning on him to get to the semifinals.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
All right, we have George Pickens ruled out once again. George. And Rashad Bateman is questionable, was seen in a walking boot. Probably a customized walking boot that's already been pre-made for him with an engraving, and it's like his walking boot that he can use every week if he wants to. Has he considered getting a running boot? Oh, and just leave it on. Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Man, if he went out there and started running routes in one of those boots. Yeah, dude. A boot with cleats?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah. RB one leg. Yeah. Tyrone Tracy. Limited on Thursday with an ankle injury. He's still a. You know, anytime you've got an offense looking as inept as the Giants, he's still going to be a little bit of a nervous start on a week-to-week basis. Cedric Tillman's still limited. You're not playing him without Winston, and so we move on.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
David Najoku did not practice dealing with the hamstring. Sames. Braylon Allen, Isaiah Davis, both limited. You know, Jason made Breece all his start of the week. What? Yeah. Oh, you know what's going to happen, Mike. You know it's going to happen.

Zach Ertz returned to a limited practice. Could be back out there with the concussions.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Yeah, and we are still KDOT and still didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday with a knee injury. Monitoring that. Tony Pollard did not practice. DMP, DMP limited last week, so he could still play. Geno Smith practiced in full, and here's a big one. Kenneth Walker. The bone zone. Practiced in full. Are we back? Well, see, the bone – we might be back to Kenneth Walker playing. I know.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
But the bone zone. It's a – It's Minnesota. So that is... As bad as it gets. And then Charbonnet, he was limited with the oblique, but...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
Underdog.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20
There are several situations this week, Jerome Ford, Kendra Miller, where you have an opportunity that just screams, start me, because of the amount of work that they have the potential to receive. But offenses that say... kill me because they're going to be so inept. Are you going to be happy with Kendrick Miller if he catches one pass and runs between the 20s a few times and they punt?

This is what submarine Dalvin Cook, we shared stories on the footcast of Your worst championship bad beats. And I was like, I had Dalvin Cook when he was a top five running back and he played in the fantasy championship and I needed nine points to win a title. And guess what? It wasn't Kirk Cousins. He was out with COVID. I don't remember the name of that chump that played quarterback that week.

But they were so inept that it was three and out, three and out, three and out. You don't get to run the football if your first down is a sack, and now it's second and 15, and you got an incompletion, and it's third down, you're off the field. That does happen, and those decisions are hard. I know Kendra Miller will get more into it on this show.

Ken Walker not practicing. Justin Herbert and McConkie limited. Bucks, Mike Evans back at practice. Bucky still a question mark. Sterling Shepard missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday. Jalen McMillan, what's up? How you doing? And these are all players that we're going to talk about in the matchups today, so I'm blitzing them real quick. Pickens. Still sidelined with the hamstring.

Trey McBride back out there in a limited fashion. Dalton Kinkade and Keon Coleman finally going to return. All right.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Here's the thing. In a fantasy playoff week, I think it's even more fun because there's more players with scores that are just hanging out there for Monday night. Monday night drama. I don't know. Jason, you and Al should look and see a couple things. One, you should look and see if you've got anybody in that Monday night doubleheader.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Two, one of you guys should share your matchup to the Twittersphere because people have been asking.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
That's right. Did I say fantasy points? You sure did.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Let's hope there's a lot more than that. This is crazy. This should be a fun one. We got a great game last week. Detroit's defense is hurting. Buffalo gave up 44 points to the Rams, who scored 12 last night. And so let's have some fantasy output in this game. You know, it's the question marks for me are like, do we get a bounce back performance from James Cook? That's one of them.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
A bounce back performance from Amon Ross St. Brown, who it's been a little bit. He's left you wanting lately. And then what do you do with the wide receiver room in a game where you have a high over under where you know the Buffalo is going to score a bunch of points? But then at all of their positions outside of Josh Allen, you really don't know what you're going to get.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
So, you know, here we are, a touchdown-less Thursday night football game, and it's not good. It's not good that if you had some of the duds in this game, you certainly hoped your opponent played players from the same game. I mean, that weren't named probably Kyron and Puka because it wasn't a big game for Kittle. Forrest Chomp, Juwan Jennings.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, you're not going to beat Detroit unless you put points up on the board because they're just such a machine. It's why you can always trust Jameer Gibbs, who's got a DK Russian receiving line of 95.5, David Montgomery, Al Munro, and Jamison Williams. Believe it or not, one of the biggest questions this week, because if you're outside of the must-start tight end category,
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Dalton Kincaid's returning to the equation this week. And so two of our top five questions on the website in the start sit tool are Hunter Henry or Dalton Kincaid and Pat Fryermuth or Dalton Kincaid. Knowing that Pickens is going to be out and Fryermuth has scored in two straight, Hunter Henry against Arizona.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Do either of you have any confidence in Kincaid returning to the lineup with the over-unders?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Nice.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
On the other side, Laporta, would you play him over both Henry and Fryermuth in a matchup like this?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Okay. Are there other question marks in this game? I mean, put the three wide receivers for Buffalo in order for me. Is it Shakir, Cooper, Coleman? Is it Coleman, Shakir?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
There is a chance that if Cooper does have another big game in this one that you're talking about somebody you're now – A league winner. Yeah, you're now really – which he was last year. So you'd be really confident moving forward if he performs in this one. You know, Allen, amazing week last week. And then Jared Goff, is he streamable this week? Is he somebody that you would – For sure.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
You know, when you talk about that pivot, if Cooper got disappointed, would Goff be somebody that you'd take the shot – It was a few weeks ago that he had the five-touchdown performance, right? Yeah, four. Four-touchdown performance, yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Six straight games in a dome. Third straight game at home.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
But Gibbs could be passing. Right. Sometimes he gets his one in the passing game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, and Jamison Williams is always one big play away. Same with Laporta. Pittsburgh's 10-3. They go to Philly.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
That's a lot of points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Pittsburgh's 10-3, Philly's 11-2. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Philly minus 5.5. Over-under is 43. That's fairly low here. Battle of Pennsylvania.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
They do get the state. They've played each other only 81 other times, and Philadelphia leads the series 49-29-3.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Oh. That was the joke. The joke was they've only played each other 81 other times.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
This is serious football. Russell, Wilson, and Jalen Hurts. The passing yards line for Hurts is 197.5. I'll take the under. Saquon's a lock, and frankly, A.J. Brown is too, but you're just a bit nervous on what he represents to your lineup.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
What do you think he is on the year? Do you know the answer to that?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, like what's his rank?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
He's 24th on the year, but I forgot he did miss some time.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I'm going to take a look at the per game real quick. But, yeah, sorry. I didn't want to cut off what you were saying, but you're just, you know, put him out there and expect.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
A.J. Brown's at 12 in points per game. Yeah, he's 13.2 points, yeah. But that's just to put it out there, just to make this horrible for you. That's where Addison is. So Addison's at the same place that Brown is. In points per game? In points per game. And Addison's on fire right now, right? Yeah. That is the same place that JSN is at. Yeah, but Addison. That is below McLaurin.

They're not playing for the rights to own a piece of land known as Pennsylvania.

Devontae Smith, 4 for 37, did score last week. You're playing Devontae Smith or Amari Cooper in that high over-under. That's 10 points.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Okay, so there is some hesitancy then on that secondary option. Najee sitting at RB18 on the year. You play him. Pickens almost certainly going to miss this game. There wasn't the pivot to Calvin Austin would have destroyed you last week. One catch for him. I think Van Jefferson scored.

Mike Williams is slowly but surely becoming a little bit more of the offense, but he's only out there for 30% of snaps. Okay.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
And, you know, for what it's worth, Grant Calcaterra, who will get the start at tight end, he has played, you know, last week was three for 16 did score, right? He's played four games this year. We use 90 plus percent of snaps. Last week was one of them. He was the tight end nine, 20, 20 and 11. So, you know, it's a dart throw.

The New England Patriots travel to Arizona to play the Cardinals. Cardinals sitting at 6-7 now. The DraftKings Sportsbook line, Arizona, minus 6 at home. The over-under is 46.5. That gives them 26 points. New England implied point total is 20. Arizona has lost, I think, three straight games. Is that right? Sounds right. Feels like eight. This is their largest.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
This is the heaviest they've been a favorite since 2021. So at home against Drake May. People hate the Patriots that much, huh? I don't think they love the Cardinals that much, so yeah. Yeah, I think you're right.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
But when you look at this matchup, you look at the Cardinals' defense, just to lay it out there, number one against quarterbacks the last six weeks, number six against wideouts, number three against tight ends. So if you're looking at the Hunter-Henry matchup, you know, the fact – I almost said Amari Hooper. That would be a new player.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
But the fact Hooper's involved, a little bit of hesitancy just because the Cardinals have played that position well. Kyler, your start of the week, Mike. Yeah. Trey McBride, touchdown guarantee. Start of my life. Touchdown guarantee this week. He's into the end zone. You might as well just count on that. James Conner, of course. And then Marvin Harrison.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Is there somebody that maybe you would have been starting... maybe you had the Cooper Cup thing happen to you and now you would pivot to Marv? Is there somebody in that category? Is it a Keenan Allen? Is it a Devontae Smith?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Is it an Elijah Moore where now you would, I mean, I guess you never would be playing Elijah Moore over Harrison, but is there a baseline guy that now you would try to shoot for the moon with Marv?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Romandre Stevenson does play football for the Patriots. He has seemed somewhat invisible during the year, yet is still sitting with a game missed as the RB25 on the year. So very relevant. Not a lot of confidence with Romandre this week.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Ramondre or Pacheco?

Any interest in any wideouts on the New England side?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Do you expect this to go according to plan here? Do you think Arizona will take care of business at home in this game?

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Tampa Bay 7-6, taking on the 8-5 Los Angeles Chargers. The DraftKings Sportsbook line here, Chargers minus 2.5. The over-unders, 45.5. I do like Justin Herbert in this game.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Because I like quarterbacks against Tampa Bay. I'm with you. And I also really want to see Ladd McConkie back out there. His receiving yards line is not indicative of an injury that's going to impact him if he takes the field. It's a 71.5.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Despite, I think, getting banged up in week seven against Arizona and being hobbling off the field at different times, he hasn't really had a game where that has translated into, like, I'm out there, you know, I'm leaving for half the game. When he's played, he's played through it. So if they have the confidence to start him, I'd have the confidence in him
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah. Rashad White's my start of the week. I do have confidence there. Mike Evans, yeah, you play him. Kate Otten, it's been scary. Yes, ma'am. That's what I heard, too. Five weeks since you looked at me.

It's been four weeks.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
since i had confidence yeah uh he's not been inside the top 10 in four weeks last week he had one big play at the end of the game a 44 yard uh reception that made him viable but on the course of the season the chargers are the number one uh most difficult matchup for tight ends this hurts is that a full pivot do you want to pivot away from him i would prefer to pivot away from on
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, you would have expected a great game out of that. And, you know, on the other side, it was volume and accumulation for Kyron Williams, 29 for 108. There were no touchdowns in the game. Matthew Stafford started three for 11. Both quarterbacks, you know, not good. Stafford outperformed Purdy because Purdy had a pick.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I would try so hard not to play him.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
His last five games, Baker's pace would be 3,800 yards and 23 touchdowns. He has cooled off considerably. He really has.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
And it's not been, I mean, New York, Carolina, Las Vegas. The last three weeks are all weeks that said start, start, start, right? Yeah. And this week you're saying the matchup is not good. So, yeah, I would try to get somebody else out. I'd put Herbert out there for sure.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, if they were playing a horrible rush defense, I would be willing to do it.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Cuge, would you flex him? Yeah, I would. Green Bay, Owls team, Sunday night football, 9-4, the Seahawks 8-5. DraftKings Sportsbook line here, Green Bay minus 2.5. The over-under is 45.5. I believe if the Packers win this ballgame, that would put the Rams at the tippy-top of the West with Seattle.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
So my preseason bold prediction of the Rams winning the division that looked as dumb as dumb can be weeks ago, somehow that division is just so dysfunctional that they might end up on top of it, even when they can't score touchdowns. Green Bay, they're in sixth. They're an NFC wildcard team. Seattle's the top of the division.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
What we've seen recently from these teams production-wise has been the running backs. Josh Jacobs, Zach Charbonnet last week. The opportunities, the touchdowns. The work has been outrageous for Jacobs. The team has never been intimidated to use him extensively. It's not necessarily been huge, profound, efficient yardage games, but when you score eight times in four weeks, that's pretty good.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
But the story was Cooper Cup, and that is the reaction that a lot of people are going to go into. I mean, three targets, no catches, and the outpouring of what do I do now? I mean, I am in that boat. Fortunately, not in League of Record or Dynasty. But in three leagues, I have Cooper Cup, and I have zero points in all three of them. And now the messages coming in are, How much do I react to this?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
That's pretty nice. Jason, you know, Al has got Josh Jacobs. You've got to imagine he's due for a regression.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
The last eight weeks, number one running back, Saquon Barkley. Number two, Josh Jacobs in points per game. And those two are kind of separated from the field. That's how good he has been. So if you've been riding that, get him in there and see if it continues.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I think that it's, you know, when you look at – Okay, Jaden Reed or Jamar Chase. Chase.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Way to get us started.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Look, I'll be the one to say it. I think Jaden Reed bounces back this way. All right. This is not uncommon in the Packers' offense. This is the head coach has said, I hate defining anybody as the one in my offense. He hates the media doing that. Christian Watson, you can't chase what Christian Watson just did because he never does it twice in a row.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
He hasn't done that throughout his career other than a, what, three-game stretch with Aaron Rodgers a couple years ago. Last week, seven targets. Here's what you know about Watson. He's going to be out there almost every play. That's cool. Is it him or Jaden Reed? I don't think the other guys are even in the conversation in terms of who you'd operate or order.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I mean, Dobbs and Wicks are just not who you'd put in order ahead of it. I'd go Reed, Watson in the same very close ranking.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
The feathers on my back. I don't know what you do with your touchdown guarantees.

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
It's Friday. No, I mean, I'm just saying that I think you can go back to Reed. That's all I'm saying. It's the wide receiver 13 on the year. It's a game that they're going to need to score some points, and I think that Jaden Reed's pretty – he'll be vocal about what happened.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
And Charbonnet is sitting pretty this week. I mean, he's a top 15 guy by consensus for us.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

This should be an interesting game.

You know, do I make other changes to my lineup? You know, what's the appropriate reaction to a zero on Thursday night football? Is my season over because of one player is scoring nothing?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
The Chicago Bears, 4-9, taking on the 11-2 Minnesota Vikings. Minnesota 6.5-point home favorites. The over-under is 43.5. Minnesota barely beat the Bears in Week 12 overtime, 30-27.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Touchdown, two-point conversion, onside kick, field goal, overtime. They never should have done any of that. They lost anyways.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Minnesota 6-1 at home. They averaged 28 points a game at home. Sam Darnold coming off a five-touchdown performance that was delightful. Thank you, Sam. You won me a bye week. Jefferson, yep. Addison on fire. Jason, start of the week. Hawkinson, my start of the week. The signs and signals right here are play your Vikings and play all the ones you've been playing. And maybe even play Sam Darnold.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, me too. And Darnold's two out of the last three games in the top five. His touchdown pace over the last four is 46. And when you have Addison playing at this level where you have two explosive players, like Addison, no matter what, cannot get the coverage that is going to Jefferson. Like Addison, he's in the best position possible.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
He's in the Juju Smith-Schuster when Antonio Brown was on the other side benefit. So it's awesome because he's an explosive player. He can score from distance. So, yeah, start all your Vikings. On the other side, Pray, because I don't want – look, DeAndre Swift might miss this game. If he doesn't, he should miss this game for your fantasy lineup. He does have a line, though. He's at 53 and a half.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I think he's going to play. But that's not a player I want to play. Oh, I agree. Because the Vikings are number one against the run, and the likelihood of this game going – Would you pivot to someone like Ramondre Stevenson?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Those Packers wideouts you just mentioned or any of these wideouts for the Bears.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Like DJ Moore had a 100-yard game against Minnesota. His line's at 5.5 receptions.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, and their running game is going to be potentially just not a part of the equation. And Caleb Williams has been surprisingly way better in the second half of ballgames. So if they got behind 12 touchdowns in the second half, only four in the first. The other Monday night game is Atlanta at 6-7, who have been struggling. And congrats, you get to play the Raiders.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, this is not good. Atlanta's a four-point favorite. The over-under is 44. Mike, this is why you want two games. Yeah, I guess. So you have the Falcons where Kyle pulled out a wild stack. Kirk Cousins has stayed within the pocket 99.4% of the time on his dropbacks. That is the highest in the league. That is the second highest since 2018. He cannot move. You watch the games. He can't move.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
You think about the plays that define Sam Darnold this year when you watch him. It's – even Caleb Williams' great plays, right? It's escapability.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Move up, move through the rush. The big play to Jefferson last week was an example by Darnold. Cousins used to be able to do that. Right now he can't, and he's thrown no touchdowns in four games. Now that streak should end.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
And I like Darnell Mooney again. Just the separation that he's getting has been very friendly when it comes to Kirk Cousins. Both of those players right now, very close in fantasy points per game. Mooney's at 11.2 on the year. London's at 12.3. So London's always the better bet for a touchdown with that size. So both of them are in play in this matchup. Kyle Pitts, if you hate yourself...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
No, don't. I mean, I will say this.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
If you did something wrong and you're afraid of Cole in the stocking and you need to pay penance, maybe you start Kyle Pitts so that you can...
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I mean, there's no situation you're going to paint. There's no brush or paint set. You cannot create me a world where I will play Kyle Pitts.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yes.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I just had to try. He's had one or zero catches in three or four games.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
But he's 24 years old, Andy. 1.4 fantasy points, 0 and 1.9.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
If I could sub Cooper Cup out right now as my flex and instead get Kyle Pitts' score, I still wouldn't do it.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
It's a matter of principle.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
I'm going to go Bowers. Thank you for that start. Our start set tools should be exclusive to only big disparities. Please choose someone else if it's too close. London, Mooney, Bijon, yes. Log out there. Sincere McCormick on the other side. You're talking about a guy that's going to get every chance to be the only relevant, one of the only relevant players on this Raiders offense.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Aiden O'Connell, we'll see if he's back out there, but McCormick and Bowers are in. I think Jacoby Myers is probably fine.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
That changes, though, if Ritter's your starter, right? Yes, it does.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah. Ten or more targets for Jacoby Myers in four of five weeks. It's not going to be sexy. You might not want to watch the game, but you'll probably be okay with the output there, and that'll do it for today's matchups. I don't think we have any more segments, right? I think we got one. I believe there's one.
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
There were moves like a pivot to pivot type of questions of like, okay, do I sit DJ more now to play Darnell Mooney because Cup got me zero?
Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast
Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
This year has been very, very close. We are, what, that's 13 weeks? Because we didn't play in week one? I have five firsts, four seconds, four thirds. Jason's 4-4-5, and Mike is 4-5-4. So we have really been quite even as we head into this week, but it's my turn for the Wheel of Shame.

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, 2,600. I figured that would be dumb of me not to do that and match you guys. My flex, I don't know if you've heard of him, Jameer Gibbs. Jameer Gibbs is my flex for 7,500, and I ended up going with the Cardinals defense against New England at 3,000. Oh, did the waivers run?

Oh, my gosh. We're in drafting right now.

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13
Yeah, I mean, when you have a game like that, you are hoping that, you know, your opponent's not going to get a goose probably, but is it, you know, is it a player that, you know, Amon Ra last week. Amon Raw was a seven-point fantasy player. Amon Raw, St. Brown, that is his lowest output of the week. Zero versus seven, that is not a defining difference in a matchup. You can overcome seven points.

Cedric Tillman, limited, still dealing with a concussion. David Njoku remains sidelined. We've got the report he's not expected to play. We got that late in yesterday's show.

And a couple of weather updates from yesterday's situations here. What do we know? We know Kansas City, Cleveland could have some wind, some showers, Cincinnati, Tennessee, some scattered showers looking fairly likely. What you don't know is that any sort of elements that are outside of the player's control can only benefit Will Levis' accuracy. So Will Levis actually gets better if you, you know.
