All right, that was Difference Makers presented by Iams Pet Food. When you choose Iams, you can see the difference in your pet with your own eyes. Healthy energy in five days, healthy digestion in 10 days, and healthy skin and coat in just 25 days. Feed Iams and see a visible difference.

Clearly, Mike has not discovered the Iams for people yet. No, he'd be healthy. Not a healthy coat right now.

David Montgomery is out for the year. That was the news we missed. It broke moments after releasing yesterday's show. Out for the year.

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

108.782

Welcome in. Here we are. Round two. December 17th. The Fantasy Footballers Podcast. Semi-final week in the majority of fantasy leagues. But maybe more important than all of that, the Monday Night Football games are over.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1096.074

It's a devastating blow. I know there are teams with buys. Maybe Montgomery didn't get you through last week with that performance, but... I know Kyle the Borgogan. He's got a team on a bye. He wasn't very happy about this, and it's because Montgomery's been so solid.

Derek Carr probably not back before the end of the season. We got word that his broken hand is a few weeks away. Alvin Kamara undergoing more tests on the injured groin.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1166.08

You just paid Alvin Kamara. Why would you put him out there?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1168.641

You're waiting for him for the next season.

And you're going into Lambeau on Monday night.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1183.485

I have made, like, in the one team that I have in the semifinals with him, he's on the bench. I'm not expecting to have him. I'm not expecting to play him, and I'm not sure he's worth the wait in this Green Bay matchup.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1204.662

How do they give him a full allotment of snaps, though?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1253.496

I'm doing the exact same thing with Romandre. I'm playing Romandre Sunday morning instead of Kamara on Monday.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1280.244

I really, yeah, this is one of the biggest stories heading into the semifinal week is certainty on Alvin Kamara and then by extension certainty on Kendrick Miller as a start. He could get a lot of checkdowns. He can catch the football.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

You could be in a sincere McCormick situation.

Joe Mixon talked about it, the hip drop tackle. D'Amico Ryan says he came out fine. Joe will be fine. It just freaks me out, man, because Joe Mixon – That's a fart in the wind, man.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1329.14

You're saying that we need to wait and see what the practice reports say.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1359.54

Houston is sitting at 9-5. There is a chance that they could take the two-seed from Buffalo. Yeah, in your bra. There's two. Well, I mean, yeah, Buffalo would have to lose. You ready for this schedule for Buffalo? Uh-huh. New England this week, and then the Jets, and then New England.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1398.434

No, no. So that's that's freaky. That that's that's a scary one to me. And we'll be monitoring it. Patrick Mahomes might be out in Week 16. They still have a two-game lead on the 1C. By the way, Houston's the Saturday game this week. We have multiple Saturday games this week. And then there's a Christmas game the next week for championship week. But isn't there a matchup this week?

Goes up. Gino Smith, hopeful to practice this week. Al is having a good time back there. Jalen Waddle will not need surgery on his knee. Nothing major in question for the week.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1505.748

Yeah, yeah. I mean, the truth is there's a lot of stuff we're monitoring this week, and it's Tuesday, and it's waiver day, and we'll talk about options if you need them, and then we will keep track of stuff and let you know what to do this weekend.

Mike is a man of fewer words than a man of few words would be.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1525.965

Yeah, if I told you he was healthy right now, how confident would you be to put him in your lineup next week? Mildly? Yeah, barely. Barely? All right. I think that is it by way of news. Is there anything else, Al? Have you got anything for us? I think you got it. Any other of my players on my roster getting stronger heading into the semifinal?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1571.12

So he gets his name mentioned because he's got his appendix? No appendix? No, he gets his name mentioned.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1583.668

No, he won't. You don't think he's playing this week? I mean, active or not, he's the third, fourth string on this team. I mean, Chris Brooks has looked good. No, he hasn't. Okay. All right. Yeah, the unplayed Marshawn Lloyd. Take it from Jason, the start of the week. That was today's News & Notes presented by USAA Insurance. Learn more at USAA.com. We'll take a break.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1604.636

We'll talk about waivers not named Marshawn Lloyd.

And that beard was $2 on Timu. Yeah.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1744.65

$2 for 10 wigs? I'd like one wig for $10 that doesn't fall apart.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1762.558

Yeah, we suffered for multiple weeks. All right, running backs. Now, I am, on first glance, not seeing Lloyd in this list, but I am seeing Jerome Ford at the tippy top of this list, who has a magnificent matchup, who, in my opinion, on film, watching him every week, has looked like not just a better runner than Nick Chubb, but a pretty... Good runner, receiver all year long. So Jerome Ford?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

183.494

I believe he switched over to mash reruns. Yes. I mean, I think that's what he put the theme song like that. Yeah, no, I think, uh, I think he was disappointed. I think that would have been a pick me up. Maybe you would have seen him today. Uh, but we don't know. We don't know when he'll be back.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1838.991

You also need to remember that before Chubb returned, when he was more of the full-time back, he was on pace for 72 receptions on the season. I think it's going to be Dorian Thompson-Robinson for multiple reasons. I don't think it does the team any good to put Winston out there anymore.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1855.021

I also believe that if you don't come out and basically say, hey, Jameis is our guy right after the game, more often than not, It's not that guy, so that can help the running game. I think Dorian Thompson-Robinson can help the running game.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1881.394

I don't think the numbers back that up.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1901.587

I disagree. I disagree.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1913.359

James Winston was on base for 700-plus attempts. The offensive system and the focus on the running game, which is what made the Browns running backs valuable for years, was predicated on them not throwing the ball 700 times a year. And it's not like Jameis Winston. I mean, what'd they score? Six points or something last week? I mean, they have not been moving the ball down into scoring range.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1937.41

So to me, I'm indifferent on the total touchdown situation there. And I think they hand the ball off. I think it's a game plan built not around Jerry Judy, but built around Jerome Ford. And that's all I'm saying. I'm not saying that the offense will score more points, but I'm saying that he'll get more opportunities than he would have with Winston.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

1992.722

It's been – yeah, it's unfortunate that we've gone the direction we did with Winston. I mean, they scored seven points against Kansas City, 14 against Pittsburgh the week before.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2035.367

You're still very Winston Bullish.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2040.213

I'm fine with Judy, but beyond that, I mean, we just saw Will Levis get benched against Cincinnati last week, and I don't know. He's playing some pretty crappy football.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2058.628

Can you imagine Cincinnati? I mean, we probably have a line already. I'm guessing they are. Where's the game?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2068.143

Eight and a half point favorites?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2077.231

Yeah, so that implied point total, a lot of that's going to Cincinnati.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2085.159

Yeah, yeah. Tajay Spears. So that's the next big name. He scored twice last week. Tony Pollard re-injured his ankle. We don't have any further reports on Pollard. He's been playing through injury. He's been finding a way to start games even when it didn't seem like he was going to, so that could happen again, a la DeAndre Swift for the Bears missing practices. But Spears?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2130.536

It could be DTR and Mason Rudolph, which is the most likely.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2154.935

Kendra Miller, we talked about him already in the context of Kamara. If we get more, you know, it's hard. I would go hard in the paint for all three of those guys if they were somehow out there, which, by the way, they wouldn't be mentioned on this show if they were rostered in 50% or more of leagues. They're not.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

216.404

No, it didn't happen. I mean, Jefferson did enough for your team. Aaron Jones did enough for your team last night in the 30-12 shellacking by the Vikings. You... You know, Keenan got it going again.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2169.764

You know, probably a little bit higher in playoff situations right now, but, you know, Kendra Miller is still 16% rostered, and I would throw everything at picking up those three players. Put them in the order you think is most suitable for your roster, but bid everything on those three guys if they're out there.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2242.978

Yeah, the value of the backup is diminishing exponentially right now.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2249.949

Yeah. And even if you're not blocking, I would be dropping the backups for these guys who might have prolonged value.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2270.673

Um, what is the, is, is Ty Johnson is some sort of mirage or is this a new, I don't, I don't understand.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2312.97

I don't know what he is, man. I don't know what he is. Is he a third string running back?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2318.413

Is he the number one passing back? I mean, it

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2379.689

I think Gainwell might be in play as well as an add. Kenneth Gainwell looked good in the passing game, and we really don't know how banged up Saquon is. If you are Philly... you've got to make a decision on what's most important. He's got a lot of tread on the tires this year. Saquon does. And if you don't have him for the playoffs, you're in trouble.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2401.164

So as the practice reports go on, Kenneth Gainwell, in our league of records, somebody threw him on the roster Sunday morning. I believe it was you, Jason? Yeah, it was. Doesn't matter because Al kicked me out. And Barkley's not talking about his injury, but he missed the second quarter, and he only handled a little bit of work over the second half.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

241.71

Yeah, kind of got it going at the end.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2455.996

Wide receivers that you want to keep your eyes open for, to me, is Jalen McMillan is the headline.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2461.681

Yeah, because... Well, look at you. Because I don't... Look, we're coming in here every week, and we're repeating names that don't matter. At the top of the waiver list. So I want – if I'm going into the fantasy playoffs, I think that Jalen McMillan matters. You know, we've said Cuge for 1,000 weeks because guess what? He just keeps getting dropped and picked up and dropped and picked up.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2485.33

I'm not saying if Cuge is out there you shouldn't pick him up. I just think – You would pick Cuge up over McMillan, right?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2501.165

No, because I'm living in the vacuum, the single vacuum of a one-week situation, and I prefer Jalen McMillan this week than I do the Denver matchup for Cuge where Ladd McConkie's the target hog. It's a touchdown prayer for Cuge, and I think McMillan. We saw what Godwin did in the offense. He's finally getting the opportunity. Six for 75 and a touchdown. And guess what? We know what Cuge is.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2526.59

We don't yet know. what Jalen McMillan's potential is.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2540.6

Trayvon Diggs is out for the season now. I mean, this is a huge opportunity for Tampa. They're going to score a lot of points. Controlled weather environment. Not up in Denver. Figuring it out. A team that's kind of going down. That's just my... Is this like another McMillan touchdown guarantee? There's barely... He barely has room to score more touchdowns. He's scoring so many.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2568.049

So I'm McMillan, huge. And then beyond that, you know...

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

260.343

boring, non-competitive. You knew both games were over instantly. Worthless game. That's the biggest part to me. You knew that the Raiders couldn't beat the Falcons, even if the Falcons tried to beat themselves. Oh, and they did. Kirk Cousins had 112 yards in the pick and a touchdown.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2616.37

I mean, they've been the last two weeks. Yeah, he's a rookie. So we'll disagree there. I mean, I feel like the baseline for McMillan is going to be higher. You know, Bateman is definitely a home run threat. He's had zero catches against Philly the week before, but then last week had the two touchdowns. So it's, I'm still McMillan, man. Sure. You also have the easy matchup.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2640.255

We don't agree a lot today.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2661.721

Watson over Dobbs.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2711.374

I just want a shot at the way Ladd-McConkie's come on in the back part of the season. The fact that this is the Baker-Mayfield offense, that the running game is banged up and hurt. That's the way I lean. Now, none of these are – these are not must-starts. Nobody in this wide receiver category is a guaranteed must-start, although I do consider Cuge, McMillan, and probably –

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2733.889

Probably Bateman as, as flex worthy plays. Another name that you have to bring up is Malik Washington in Miami because Malik Washington, it's a, it's a San Francisco matchup, but he already caught five passes last week. They let go of Odell Beckham and Jalen Waddell is injured. And so you're looking at this situation where, you know, we caught what three more passes than Tyreek did.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2805.174

My dart throw, my – Our dart throw. Oh, because you're – Fireball. Nope. Oh, all right.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2812.878

My dart throw, my – don't be surprised if he has a huge week and you didn't see it coming and he's still on waivers next week. Is Jalen Coker of the Carolina Panthers? That's Coker, Al.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2826.385

As you've always – as you looked up and verified. This is the deep threat for Carolina. Adam Thielen's going to be your underneath and your dink and dunk, but you've lost Xavier Leguette, and he's not really a deep threat type of guy anyways, and Jalen Coker is. Jalen Coker is a physical force. He played 80-plus percent of snaps.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2846.38

He had four for 110 in a touchdown against Dallas, and if you want to take a shot, because you are just ravaged by injuries, that'd be your guy.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2887.697

Jason, I wonder what the kind of next piece of the Lions offense is going to be without Montgomery. Like, is there going to be more involvement from a secondary option or more involvement from Laporta? Like, I think Laporta could be more of a focal point where, look, you have to understand this team isn't going to just – they're not just going to run Montgomery packages with Gibbs every play.

What's up, Foot Clan? This episode is brought to you by Viore. Viore is performance apparel that's designed for working out, but it doesn't look or feel like it. And let me tell you, the Ponto Performance Jogger, it's a game changer. It's part of Viore's Dreamknit collection. It's soft. It's super soft. and lightweight.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2911.201

They're going to do what is in their best advantage when it comes to structuring this offense. We used to know what they do. They go out with their huge, giant personnel and run Montgomery. That's not how they're going to use Gibbs. They may use them sometimes like that. but they're going to kind of conform to the personnel that they have, and Laporta is a weapon that's been waiting in the wings.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

2933.178

Maybe it's some Tim Patrick. Maybe it's Jamison Williams. I think we're going to see some different stuff. Maybe it's more Jared Goff in general because— I think it will be more Jared Goff.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

Target for the Jacksonville went to Brian Thomas or Brenton Strange last week with Mac Jones. It's a great matchup against Las Vegas, but I have gone through this exercise. I don't think that I'm going to sit Otten down for strange even if I got him on the waivers.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3104.044

I don't think I'm going to do that.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3128.432

I've been through this whole exercise. I knew bringing it up with submarine, any attempts of me getting Britain strange on the waiver wire in our league of record to fill in for, for, for Kate Otten. I've been through the exercise. And to me, it's the highest over under the week in the Tampa game. Who's going to score a touchdown?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3143.297

I mean, Britton Strange, if I told you a player got 11 receptions in a game, you'd be like, that's a dominant week. This was not a dominant fantasy week.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3160.641

Yeah, it was 73 yards. He didn't score. The odds of them scoring are low. I'm not saying Britton Strange is going to have a bad week and he's unstartable. I'm just saying I'm going to go with the odds that Baker throws three to four touchdowns. And I'm just going to hope that one of them is to Kate Otten. It's not like they haven't taken shots to him.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3174.591

I'm just going to hope that that's the situation.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3183.643

Because of untapped upside that we don't know about.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3212.605

To smart him. It would be hard to smart him, right? Yeah. Boston.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3219.736

Well, I mean, I don't feel any of these tight ends, so I shouldn't have even taken a shot.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3224.027

What do you like there?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3249.905

You know, that's going to be my defense this week in the semifinals. Cardinals are a bit of a Jekyll and Hyde on defense, but I'm going to just hope that even if, you know, if Bryce plays well for three quarters, one bad quarter from Bryce could be enough to support a good performance. My favorite defense of the week is the Packers. It's gotten even better.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3269.25

I mean, no Camara, no Carr, no Olave, no Buddy.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3335.899

And then the Raiders against Jacksonville and Jacksonville against the Raiders. Both directions kind of work, although I wouldn't do it with the Raiders because I'd play Jacksonville defense if I'm desperate, but I wouldn't do the Raiders defense against the – Did you watch the Mac Jones highlights? Did you watch the Mac Jones bravado in this game?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3362.153

I believe that Mac Jones is doing the one thing that you should be doing in your situation. If you're a backup quarterback, by the way, he was, when you say, are there any highlights? He was a top 10 quarterback last week. He attempted 46 passes and he supplied, he supplied not Britain strange with 11 catches, but Brian Thomas with all those catches. I would say Brian Thomas supplied Mac Jones.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3381.888

I mean, Mac Jones threw for 300 yards. Mac Jones did what you're supposed to do when you get a chance. Don't come in and be a Desmond Ritter, Dink Dunk Fest. Just chuck it. Winston's done this for years. Flacco's done it. Come in and show another team. Mac Jones is playing for a job. Show another team that you could maybe be a starter someday.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

341.883

Well, it's one of the best ways that I've seen strategically, and I've been around the game for a long time. If you run on first down, that is guaranteed to not be a pass by Kirk Cousins.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3435.754

You never know. They pick them out of a hat right before the game.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3450.6

Well, that's going to dovetail poorly into this next segment.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3458.365

Because my streaming quarterback is Aaron Rodgers against the Rams. Following up on Difference Makers, the Rams defense is 28th against quarterbacks over the last six weeks, 31st against wideouts. A lot of risk there for me. I think there will be a lot of points scored in that game. So I think Aaron Rodgers is actually a streamable option.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3527.483

Yeah, I just—I mean, both. Both are fine. Both are in the exact same category. Both could suck, and both could be great. But Rodgers has got a couple good weeks in a row, and, you know, it's tight. It's close. Flip a coin. Don't play either. I mean, we're not in a position here, by the way. This waiver show feels weird to me in some regards.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3549.583

I know we've got to do it, and there might be a nugget here or there. Most people— Most people have got players to play this week. I mean, that's why you're here. I mean, David Montgomery goes out. You probably got a guy on your bench that's better than most of the guys you're picking up. Maybe you end up able to grab a Spears or grab a Ford, and that would be awesome. Ford would be outstanding.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

355.678

He can't do either of those if he doesn't get the opportunity to.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3570.354

But if not, maybe you're playing defense more than you're playing offense in some of these leagues.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3585.849

Yeah, pick him up. Falcon, will you bring those in here real quick because we're going to close the show out. I forgot we had to show these off, but we do have some sweet swag. If you notice, there's a new custom helmet on the center of our table, and the folks at Green Grid Iron hooked us up with that. We have many helmets for the first time. These have been requested for years.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

3607.398

So if you want mini helmets, Jason's got the white one. I got the black one. They're all on shop ballers.com and we'd love to get them out to you so you can display them. They'd go nice right next to like a championship trophy.

It's not a bad idea. Thanks for joining us back tomorrow with the two of us and maybe Mike or a bear or a bear. We'll find out. Catch you then.

Is he going to start next year?

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

395.798

He was firing phasers before Baker had lasers.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

428.355

Yeah, I mean. He's got $300 million to comfort him at night. You know, if you're a Brock Bowers manager going into a semifinal because you survived his three for 35 night, you need to get on your knees and pray that it's not Desmond Ritter again. 39 passing attendance for Desmond Ritter ending up in three for 35 for your superstar tight end.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

450.894

It's not that it's much better with Aiden O'Connell either.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

456.058

Yeah, this is like a factorial thing. This is like Gardner Minshew was much better than Aiden O'Connell for Brock Bowers. Sure, yeah. And then Aiden O'Connell's much better than Desmond Ritter, and Desmond Ritter's much better. Barely better than you.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

46.996

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

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

487.442

Okay, yeah, and I'm glad we broke that down. And we had an injury to Sincere McCormick. That was a monstrous injury. you know, significant situation for fantasy managers because he left with an injury. It went to Madison after that. He did nothing with the seven carries he had before the injury.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

506.779

And so, um, you know, this is one of those things where like in a few years, we'll probably be saying like, do you remember that guy sincere McCormick that was relevant for like a week? I doubt we'll remember his name. Probably not moving on.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

534.006

Well, I didn't realize that you had picked out a Difference Maker as well, Jason.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

543.767

I mean, it would be bad in second.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

553.16

You walked right into that. Well done. Yeah, I'm going to walk off too. Okay. Another one? I'm on baseball fire, baby. It's pretty good. It's pretty good.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

564.126

Yeah, I like it. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. We talked yesterday about Unready to Roll, incentives for players. We are talking about incentives for teams coming down the stretch. I talked about Houston. They don't have a real shot to change their playoff position. It's what freaks me out about Joe Mixon this week is that

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

586.936

Joe Mixon had another one of those hip drop tackles happen to him where that's where he missed three games earlier in the year. So as far as we know right now, he's going to be active. But if he was banged up and I was Houston, I wouldn't play him. So we talk about team incentives. We talk about player incentives. I'm going to talk about a pride incentive.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

604.788

I'm going to talk about a trend that is happening right now. And this is Difference Maker. So I thought about this. And to me, it is the Jets. Aaron Rodgers has been a top 10 quarterback. Each of the last two weeks, I was so close to throwing Rodgers, Adams, Wilson in against the Jags last week in our DraftKings lineup. I was a coward. I didn't do it.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

630.507

Fortunately, still am not to shame, mercifully. But believe it or not, Garrett Wilson and Devontae Adams right now are top. They are top. Two of the top 12 fantasy wideouts.

And Rodgers in his last four games, that's a full season pace of 4,234. You know, that's a 34-4 touchdown to interception ratio. That's more vintage Rodgers. We don't know how banged up he was, but the matchups, the Rams – And then Buffalo, who, yes, they win, but they give up 40 a game?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

715.885

Yeah, but they've been bad in terms of giving up total points, and I think that Rodgers and Adams are a couple of guys at this stage of their career that, look, you're not playing for a playoff spot. But there's a lot of pride there. There's a lot of pride in showing some signs of what they were capable of on the offensive side, and we're seeing it.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

737.562

And I think they're going to be difference makers down the stretch, playing the Rams at home, playing the Bills on the road, where the defense has been awful.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

767.804

Yeah, he cares about being a legend on the field.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

775.129

On the cusp, but I don't think he's a – Well, he's in an ideal situation where he literally can focus on himself because there's no playoffs. Exactly.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

835.546

So I'm sure Al Borland is really thrilled to hear that as he has Devontae Adams rostered, made the trade midseason, and I applaud it. We're a keeper league. We have players that even when they're injured, they have value. He managed to turn the Brandon Ayuk injury into Devontae Adams for the remainder of the season.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Waivers + Playoff Pickups, Monty Fallout - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/17

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

1126.405

Yeah, but then Al tried to be like, well, of course it's Sutton. Man. Is that Al's voice? It is when one player's like, I don't have my superstar running back. He's like, yeah, but Corlin's son got eight points. Mike is back, baby.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

1528.591

I can't... Like, if that had been a touchdown, and the way that he was, like, timing the drop, how cool is that?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

155.663

I assume not. I did nothing. This was... Trying to exist. Yeah. You know how sometimes you're like... Sick day. I'm going to watch shows. Yeah, you're going to watch Netflix. None of that bull crap. It was just live and try to fast forward and time warp until this is over. I am 75% Theraflu right now.

That's the issue of last week. I liked the spot the Cardinals were in. I thought Kyler was a decent play. The Cardinals put up 30 points. And Kyler did nothing concrete.

2003.859

It comes down to Bryce Young. Did we get fooled? Well, it's the wrong word. Did we get did he just get this? You know, he played really, really well after coming off the bench. And now the old me like some of the habits or things that they have. I don't know if I can't do the mic. If you're not on the video, Jason has two mugs. He's got two mugs.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2033.634

I'm not on purpose. I keep hitting the handle of one together. Because you have two mugs in a very small space.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2045.743

There you go. Right hand, left hand. There we go. There's no way he's not spilling that mug on the other side. I'm not used to right-handing this. It is... Is Bryce Young just... Is he going to revert right back?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2067.804

Having said that, I would play Thielen. But...

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2079.192

Everybody in the entire world is now doing the every single week. This is it. I'm calling the Trey McBride touchdown. It's not happening. Ever.

2132.889

And then you'll be fine. Marvin's been seven or fewer points in three of the last four. Yeah, I think people are.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2244.813

Yeah, it's been his previous explosive week would have been week seven. Gets the Atlanta Falcons four for 99 with the score. Misses two games. His first game back after the bye week, seven for 70. Okay, that's fine. And then it's just been subpar every game after that.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2563.617

So it's possible. So it's possible. So you're telling me there's a chance. I can't remember what team it was. This game is... Look, I'm not... I'm playing Allen. I'm playing James Cook. It's all these things, but this game gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Really? I do. He's been better. He has visibly looked better to me on the last couple weeks. He's been, in the last two games, about 10 points.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

2802.269

Yeah, I totally agree. But I think that ETN's like I think he's safe to give you eight points or so because of the penalty.

2809.452

And then on the other side, what do you do with... The Raiders have quietly given us running back production. It's been gross, but we're back to Alexander Madison as the primary guy. His DK rushing line is only 46.5, which that sounds about right. But he has managed to get into the end zone a few times. If you're desperate, are you looking at Madison or Travis Etienne?

Madison, over the first portion of the season before he got hurt, missed a bunch of time, and McCormick had his games, he was still getting targets. Six targets, three, one, three, five, three, five. I don't know. I think Madison is disgusting in its bottom of the barrel. You're hoping you don't have to do it, but you're sitting on Tony Pollard. You get really bad news heading into the weekend.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

339.008

Much to my chagrin, because I did message you guys how – Annoyed. And look, this is the me problem. This is a 100. Maybe other people had the problem too, but them rotating their running back. Literally every snap felt not... To me, it didn't feel fully strategic. It felt like Sean Payton's like...

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

3428.983

With Cooper Rush. That has been – well, he had plenty of games with Cooper Rush catching passes. I mean, Rush has been the starter since week 10. It has been lately, though, that it has disappeared. So, Mike McCarthy, let's get the passes dialed up here. But also, you're welcome, Mike. Yeah. Freaking idiot. Are you talking to yourself?

He was so juiced from week one, though. Like, he was – let me go look at his actual numbers, but it was like two huge weeks.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

367.216

yeah i can do it i can i can do this because i'm sean payton and just and it worked for for a bit there and then uh then they never a running back never caught momentum yeah the running backs got tired from all the running on and off the field it's funny it's like they were sprinting off that is a distance to cover you're doing wind it's literally more than they run when they get the ball on the vast majority of occasions so you're talking about fresh legs like

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

3697.833

I would put Watson at the top.

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

3995.052

I like the Brian Thomas there. I have Malik Washington at 3,700. I have Juan Jennings, hopefully correlating in the same game, at 5,900. And then who's this guy? Oh, Jamar Chase.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

4059.312

I have Trey McBride because I'm told he's going to score a touchdown every single week at 6,200. Even if he doesn't score a touchdown, the dude is just PPRing his way into greatness. I'm running 12 personnel out yet again. Currently have Brenton Strange in there at 3,500. I'll probably have to pivot to Chig because he's like right around the same amount of money should Strange not play.

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

842.793

Andy is the underdog. And my final decision comes down to a spot where it's – I have Jerome Ford. Right. And it was, oh, I don't like that DTR is the quarterback, but hey, he should be getting all the work. He's got juice. It's the Bengals. Yeah, and it's the Bengals. I love my running backs against the Bengals. I just want pieces of that. And I didn't want – I'm sorry.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

866.207

You didn't want this decision. I didn't want Ken Walker to make the decision hard for me because I think he is – even starting him is so difficult. A healthy Ken Walker against Minnesota is like, oh, are we going to get one of those real crappy where he's like two yards per carry, maybe he catches three passes and it's just nothing? Do you remember when – Staring it down is really, really hard to –

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 16 Matchups + Mike's Back, Wheel of Shame! - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/20

889.102

to start him do you remember when Kenneth Walker played against the Detroit Lions and that tough run D before they lost their defense and he was the running back two with three touchdowns yeah no he can but what was his what was his line aside from the touchdowns he was 12 for 86.7 yards I didn't recall four receptions for 36 and he could that's where it's hard because Ken Walker can do that Ken Walker can also be 40 yards on 15 attempts and nothing else

I am a fan of that now, too. I think, you know, before most everyone was just streaming and you had your cable company or whatever, it was not as fun. But when you can just kind of put both up on the screen and swipe to the left or to the right to change your audio, it's pretty fun. It's only good if one of the games stinks.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1340.978

My lineup changes every day, though, so I can't share it yet. That's true.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1347.984

Yeah. Yeah, they'll say this is inappropriate content.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1430.672

Yeah, it is tough. I think that the advice is you want players in this game. Because of the injuries to the Detroit Lions defense, what we saw last week from the Buffalo Bills in that Rams game when they were on the road, it was just this insane output of scoring. You want players in this game. It's tough because Amari Cooper last week, 14 targets. That's fantastic.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1455.638

But there wasn't Keon Coleman active. There wasn't Dalton Kincaid active. Now you've got more kind of mouths to feed. And it's a little bit more difficult to say with, you know, emphatic certainty that Amari Cooper is going to be great. I do think Amari Cooper has a good game.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1472.157

The fact that he's been fully integrated now, I would want to play Amari Cooper coming off of 14 targets in the highest over-under of the season against a very injured defense with two awesome offenses. So when I'm looking at this game, I want these ancillary pieces. That's why I picked up Keon Coleman. It's risky. It's a gamble. But you just think, which game is going to have a ton of touchdowns?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1495.545

And this game certainly is at the top of the list this week.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1543.487

I actually do have confidence in not playing Kincaid.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1547.728

Yeah, so Dalton Kincaid before the injury, 31 yards, 32 yards, 24 yards. That is garbage.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1557.709

That's just unusable. And keep in mind, like 32 yards one of those weeks came on 10 targets. It hasn't worked. It's been out of sync. I'm not using the playoffs as week one with his first week back from injury to throw him in.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1633.758

Yeah, I would have Amari Cooper just from the utilization, the fact that he's more downfield, gets air yards. In a game like this, I would go Cooper, Shakir, Coleman. But Shakir's got a pretty high floor.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1677.887

He was the number one quarterback. Yeah, three last week. He's been throwing some touchdowns, and this is the type of game. He has at home in a dome.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1709.711

Yeah, I imagine they will score four touchdowns at least. And if that's the case, you know David Montgomery gets one and Jameer Gibbs gets one. That's like law.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1738.924

Update here on Jeremy and I's matchup.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1742.666

So I have no one on Monday night as of this moment, and he has two. And on your roster, but go on. Correct. He has two guys named Bijan Robinson and Justin Jefferson.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1757.155

So I'm going to need to be up by 50, 60 points, something like that, and I will not be. So, Jeremy, congratulations.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1803.126

All right. You got me. Come on. What a great joke. This is no time for joking. Yeah.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1826.683

That's all. Yeah, he's obviously been a very squeaky wheel the last week despite winning.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1835.931

What his wide receiver number is on the year?

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1839.814

I do not know. I would guess about 10. Mike? Yeah, he's a top 12 guy.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

184.978

If you didn't watch the game, it was a very wet, rainy game as well. Heavy rain pour. Um...

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1914.234

I would lean towards Amari Cooper. Same.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1962.844

Yeah, George Pickens missing this game actually hurts, I think, a lot of the players. Because I worry about whether or not the Steelers will be able to score enough points to push the Eagles to be able to need A.J. Brown and Devontae Smith. So it was really sad that he's going to miss this game. You know, the over-under, I was not surprised to see it come in at only 43.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

1983.592

Yeah, and I would lean the under. These are two good defenses and one offense is missing its primary weapon.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2014.062

Yeah, to me, that's more like DFS. I'm not going to play him in my playoffs. I think there's better options.

2134.321

Yeah. Yeah, I think that's fair. So that's not a must start. I will say that in Marv's games, he's pretty hot and cold. We've talked about the difference between those games where he gets the touchdown and the games where he doesn't, but it's not just because of the touchdowns. Usually the games where he gets the touchdown, he just – has a much better game all the way around.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

215.174

So, well, I'll get there early. I'll get there. The show's just starting. But yeah, it was it was a wet game and it turned into one of those occasional divisional slugfest where the two defenses are up for the task and the weather mixed with the fact that these teams see each other often. Just the offenses could not get anything going.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2153.72

More yards, more receptions. And so if you're thinking, is this the type of game that will be good for Marv, it does line up pretty well to be a successful one.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2187.424

Yeah, I think that that is one of those that makes sense. Keenan makes complete sense. I think DeAndre Hopkins can make sense there as well where I would probably move Marv in ahead.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2225.289

I think he's a flex option. I mean, you you saw last week Zach Charbonnet completely go bonkers on the Arizona Cardinals in Arizona. Now that. I think that's more the Seattle scheme. Yeah, I mean, that seems more like a one-off because the Cardinals defense prior to that game had been very good against the run.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2243.564

So I don't expect big things from Ramondre, but he gets enough volume where he's a flex option.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2304.969

Yeah, Ladd is in. I know he's a little dicey because you worry, oh, will he re-aggravate the injury? It's a fair worry, and that could be a tiebreaker if there's someone else that you have that's a really good wide receiver and a high tier. But without that, I would definitely be starting Ladd McCulloch. He was... So good. He's so important to this team.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2327.718

You have Baker and the Bucs can often put up points against good defenses. So if this turns into a shootout, you had three top 24 performances in a row right up before the injury. Two of those were, you know, the wide receiver 12, the wide receiver 10. Ladd should be in your lineup.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2396.928

Yeah, I would say the head can spin. The projectile can vomit.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2454.87

Yeah, I would rather play Ertz than Otten right now. Ertz has a touchdown in three straight games and a much better matchup. This is a difficult matchup for him. And also, you know, I talked about how Baker... This often sometimes can really surprise and come out and look great, especially with Mike Evans back. However, the Chargers have, you know, this is a team that likes to hit the under.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2478.345

This is a team that plays good defense. And so I have Baker on my roster, and right now he's not in my lineup.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2487.532

Yeah, I'm scared of Baker and Kate Otten in this.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2528.484

I think it'll be extremely heavy Rashad White. Sean Tucker might be used around the goal line. I mean, he's the type of player that can come in and vulture a touchdown, and so you could get lucky in that way. But again, not a good matchup for projecting that. So it would be Rashad White as like a, Super confident start, and I would not want to play with Sean Tucker.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2671.384

I'm hoping that he is. This is your voodoo dark magic.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2676.966

Yeah, I mean, the truth is when we were talking about earlier in the season that he had so many rushing opportunities and yardage with no rushing touchdowns that that that was going to regress to the mean. And the touchdowns would come.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

2690.151

And now it is flipped so far back, I think it is sound advice to just say it probably is not going to stay where he's scoring a touchdown to three touchdowns every single week. And that has been hurting the passing game and the fantasy value of some of these wide receivers. So this could be the game. You know, it makes sense to me that...

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

Jordan Love would be able to have a better game, and maybe one of these wide receivers like Jaden Reed, wild card, goes from goose to golden goose.

How would you order the wide receivers? And I guess, who is your number one? Is it still Jaden Reed off the goose? Is it Christian Watson?

Does Reed get a touchdown? I don't know. Okay. I was one that – I haven't watched the game yet. Well, but that's what I was asking because I was hoping it tingled the little feathers on the back of your neck or whatever you have.

All right, and then DK Metcalf, JSN are both of them ahead of the Packers wide receivers?

And in the opposite order of how I just read it? Yeah, JSN, I mean, wild.

For sure. The last six weeks, the Packers are 25th against running backs. So over the course of the season, they might look a little better, but recently they've been giving up points. So Charbonnet's must start.

Was that the game where they were crushing the Bears? I believe they were killing the Bears, and then the Bears had some crazy, like the last two or three minutes of the game somehow got it back to overtime and then lost.

No, your season is definitely not over. There are gooses every single week, and while it's not helpful, the gooses will more often be on the losing team. There are plenty of times that you can overcome a goose. You will make some changes. Now, you don't have to. You don't need to get crazy. But look at your projected total and your opponent's projected total.

Sam Darnold's a fine play. He has been a good quarterback for this whole stretch run. So it's going to be, you know, hopefully if you had Brock Purdy or Sam Darnold, you chose Darnold. You know, yesterday that you went with Brock, or not with Brock Purdy, but with Sam Darnold. I think Sam Darnold is, like, Andy, you've got Justin Herbert as your start of the week.

Oh, yeah. If that's an easy pivot, that shows – please try to bench DeAndre Swift.

I do think DJ Moore is an okay start. Since the transition was made at coordinator, they've utilized him better. The matchup is really nice. His explosive ability means that you could end up with a very big game. So, you know, you talk about adding volatility in. DJ Moore, I mean, it's not. Yeah, that's fair. He is someone that can be boom bust.

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

He can go out there and score five points, but there's not a handful, there's not a ton of people that can go out there and score 25 points. You could see that from DJ Moore in a game like this.

If it was close because you were a five-point underdog and Cooper Cup had 15 projected points, now you're a 20-point underdog. Okay, well now maybe you look at your matchup and say, this flex option player is the wide receiver for his quarterback. That's not going to catch me up. Maybe I pivot to someone else or...

Yeah, he'll throw a touchdown in this game, which is great – Probably. Yeah, that was on purpose. I think he'll throw a touchdown in this game, but that's good news for Drake London. His receiving line is at 66 and a half, and we've talked about he's been pretty decent for fantasy.

He's not been disappointing through this Kirk Cousins terrible stretch, but it hasn't been great because there have been no touchdowns. I think Drake gets a touchdown this week.

Jacoby Myers is great. I mean, the Falcons right now on the season, they're dead last against wide receivers. Jacoby Myers, now it's Aiden O'Connell looking to play. I would like to play Jacoby Myers. I think he's a good play this week.

Dude. Debo would be a big story if it wasn't for the fact that hopefully everyone was already benching Debo. Oh, man. Because Debo had seven targets and two carries. His opportunities were great. He finished with 19 combined yards. It's rough, man. I feel like they have to cut him this offseason.

It really did seem like Debo should go on a run to take over. In the years prior, when one of those guys has been injured, the other just becomes a sensational star.

Yeah, I mean, I brought it up a little bit when I made him my start of the week yesterday that he missed practice. We need to monitor that because obviously him being healthy is important. Tajay Spears, I think, would actually be a pretty good play if he is the only guy. He's not as talented as Tony Pollard, but he is talented in his own right.

Fantasy Footballers - Fantasy Football Podcast

Week 15 Matchups + Inside Thoughts, Wheel of Shame - Fantasy Football Podcast for 12/13

764.053

And if he gets all the work with, you know, fresher legs, that would be interesting. Obviously, this isn't ruling him out just because he's missing practice. He's had a lot of workload this year, so just keep monitoring up until game time.
