 What's up everyone welcome into the week 13 fantasy football recap presented by fan duel. I'm your host Simon joined as always by my co-host John Lugarofalo and G meant Jay. What's up boys. What up. What's happening. Got some good football on today I gotta say. It's a very exciting week. It has been and Jay you're rocking a new jersey down there. You got some new NFL swag on today. You know Black Friday specials like you know what Joe Burrow helped me win a championship last year. I think I should honor him by buying a jersey. So I decided to go for it. I'm sure he's ever so honored by that Jay. Have you sent him a letter yet? I sent him a DM with a picture of it just the jersey and nothing else hasn't responded yet though I'm still waiting. If he doesn't have I mean how many days is you know do I need to wait before I reach back out. Three hours and then you send him another one just not even a full day. Good call. Okay. I'll be right back. He is an aficionado of jersey poo bear shots. That's his number one thing so guys send Joe Burrow all of your jersey poo bear shots. He's gonna love all of them. Jay you are 100% right. We've had some exciting football today and we're going to break down all of that for you. We got some people in the chat here hanging out with us today. Grim fan in here saying Bill's win. I survived another week. Our friend Grim still alive through 13 weeks and I survived the next and Grim we're gonna answer this in a second. I want to make sure we get time to help you out with your picks for next week. We got Gabe in here. What's up Gabe? Gabe St. Hurts is my QB and it's gonna take me all the way all the way. He just might as JL just so eloquently saying he really just might Jalen Hurts beautiful is Jalen Hurts the quarterback you want the most on your fantasy team down the stretch here or is there another quarterback you would prefer to have rest season. Oh man. I think he's number one. I'm struggling to think of someone who'd be above him. I still think I'd rather go my homes. I know it doesn't have the rushing upside but I mean he's just got the passing upside to just go absolutely nuclear. I mean don't get me wrong I would be perfectly fine with Jalen Hurts but I think I still ever so slightly would rather have my homes. Man but Gabe you're in a you're in a good spot right there sitting with sitting with Hurts as your fantasy quarterback as we head into the playoffs. I know a lot of people would be envious. The Derek Carr managers the Kirk Cousins managers have even the Kyler Murray managers are probably sitting over there envious of the quarterback you're rolling out there. We got Albert in here saying hello everyone. What's up Albert. Welcome in. Thanks for joining us on this Sunday and DJ in the chat hello DJ and slick Vic with the hello. Hello slick. Welcome mom and we love moms here DJ said Josh Allen over those guys. I would say Josh Allen but with with the injury that he's been dealing with. I don't know if I want him over Hurts in the home so don't get me wrong he's still top to your guy but he's not over those guys for me the rest of the season. I'm with you Simon. Just can't quite do it. Now that's not an indictment on Josh Allen don't hear what I'm not saying. I'm hearing everything you're not saying we all heard what you're not saying. That's a lot of things I didn't say Jalen you're not really busy up there. You are a dirty boy let me just say.

Now guys I wanted to hit this question from Grim the bills did win this week but now the options he's got left going into week 14 are the Buccaneers the Browns the Panthers and the Dolphins as the teams that he has left. Are there any of those that stand out if we look at these week 14 matchups I can go ahead and pull those up but any teams that immediately jump out right here the Panthers are at the Seahawks the Buccaneers are at the 49ers the Browns are at the bingles and the Dolphins I do not doubt Dolphins are at the Chargers that is tough games there's no way I could go with the Panthers. I think the only one that I'm comfortable playing is the Dolphins at the Chargers the Chargers I feel like we still have this idea in our head that they're a good team but they're not like they have not been good on the field. I feel like even going into this week there was this idea that they could still make a late season push and like figure it out at the end I don't know if the Chargers team is figuring it out so I'm gonna roll with the Dolphins over the Chargers even with the struggles we're seeing from them today what do you guys think. Yeah I think that's fair. I think that is fair that is a that is a tricky one where what are the other options there that he has. Panthers at Seahawks Browns at the bingles and then Bucks at 49ers. Bucks at 49ers yeah I think that does make the most sense. It's rough it's rough those other options are not good for you even if you got some good teams left right there. The other one I may consider would be Tampa Bay because Jimmy G got hurt we don't know if he's gonna play next week but I would still leave the Dolphins. DK Metcalf just got another touchdown by the way. That dude is having a game Metcalf. He has to be one of the best values in fairness because nobody wanted him with with Gino Smith and Drew Locke. I mean he has to be I'm gonna look it up I mean he's been phenomenal all year long. And especially after last season which people viewed as disappointing even though he had 12 receiving touchdowns right I know they were concentrated there was one game with a ton of blood in there but he did well last year then he comes in this year as Gino Smith nobody wants him he's getting knocked down boards people were disappointed in the last year you're right Jay we'll have to do a season in review and check out just how late he was going and what a value that ended up being. We have two quick update from the Kansas City game Harrison Bucker just missed the what would have been the game tying field goal with three minutes left so the bingles have the ball up three with three minutes left. Woohoo! Maria same evening fellas what's up Maria welcome in and nice bagels jersey Jay. It is a nice bagels jersey. It's an everything bagels jersey not the one with cream cheese though no cream cheese on that one. The question that we hadn't heard from a great fan we're gonna hit on these games a little bit later but I did want to address these it's two of the biggest injuries in today's games Lamar Jackson going down what Grimm wants to note is does Brock Purdy or Tyler Huntley have any value as a replacement or should he keep his claim in for Jared Goff. So JL if you're in this situation Lamar Jackson's your quarterback you were eyeing Jared Goff on the waiver wire are you still rolling with Jared Goff are you trying to pick up Purdy or Huntley? I'm sticking with Jared Goff Lamar Jackson all we know right now is that it's likely not a season ending injury there'll be more news on Monday when they do run some more tests we'll get some more information probably Monday afternoon or so Tyler Huntley is a little bit interesting just because of the rushing upside he is a quarterback that is based very similarly off of Lamar Jackson it's got a similar type of profile and so he's got some of that rushing upside but he is not as good of a passer as we saw today against that Broncos defense so golf is still the number one out of these three guys here with you and three of his next four matchups like if Lamar Jackson is going to miss extended time you've got some good matchups with Jared Goff he's got the Vikings next week we've seen multiple teams torch them through the air the jets are the toughest matchup in this stretch then he's got the Panthers and the Bears after that so I am not scared off of Jared Goff at all these are games where the Lions should stay competitive and we've seen Jared Goff have some big games so far this year on the other side another injury Kenneth Walker running back to the Seattle Seahawks injured Jay would you be looking at Acres, Pacheco, Zonovan Knight or Latavius Murray or is your interest in the direct backup in DJ Dallas there in Seattle? I'm not that interested in DJ Dallas unless you're just absolutely desperate for running back I would much rather have Pacheco any of these what were the other names that you saw Pacheco? The options were Pacheco Acres, Zonovan Knight or Latavius Murray were the other options Zonovan Knight sense pretty interesting yeah I think Jay there's a there's a lot of lag going on we'll get that figured out get him going Jail are you prioritizing DJ Dallas or one of these other players Pacheco I think over DJ Dallas I would go I would go Knight even over probably DJ Dallas until we get some more information on Kenneth Walker yeah and Pacheco is definitely above him for me as well DJ Dallas you can add him as a speculative ad but I prefer most of those guys you listed down there over DJ Dallas as the direct ad right there guys we're gonna go ahead and get into the preview of tonight Sunday night football game while we're waiting for these 4 p.m. games to end up tonight we've got the Indianapolis Colts facing off at the Dallas Cowboys the Dallas Cowboys are 10 and a half point favorites at home here and that seems just about right it seems like they should be 10 and a half point favorites against the Jeff Saturday led Colts Jail before we get into the individual fantasy players do you think the Colts have any chance to win this game I think the Colts yeah of course they have a chance to win this game so not a foul game anybody can win do I think that it's likely it's the most likely outcome absolutely not I think that Dallas Cowboys will most likely win this game I do think of should be interesting the Colts defense has been playing very well recently shutting down a lot of passing game a lot of teams so it'll be interesting to see how CD lamb and there's other passing options there against Indianapolis here yeah absolutely and that's the that's the perfect segue into talking about these Dallas Cowboys CD lamb is the wide receiver that you're obviously starting but Jay outside of CD lamb are there any other receiving options for the Dallas Cowboys that you're plugging into your fantasy lineups tonight I think Dalton Schultz is pretty much locked himself in he's back as a every week starter he's not necessarily somebody who's in that upper echelon but you're comfortable starting him and Michael Gallup has turned it on here lately he's not somebody that I'm forcing into my lineup but if you need somebody who you know could catch a touchdown should be decently about the offense I think you could do a lot worse than Michael Gallup yeah I'm not trying to start him but I do think you can't plug him in jail what he check Michael Gallup yeah Michael Gallup I'm with you guys I'm not excited to start him this week I think he's most likely going to end up what maybe low end wide receiver three the biggest question I think for the Dallas Cowboys though comes in their running game is it Tony Pollard or is it Ezekiel Elliott jail you have to pick one of those two guys to plug into your lineups tonight who are you playing is it Pollard or is it Elliott who's been coming on strong lately he has been coming on strong lately but it is Ezekiel Elliott for me I think though he'll still see that 60 40 split and Ezekiel Elliott has been getting a decent amount of receiving works I'll go with him what about you Jay are you rolling Elliott as well are you on the Pollard side here I'm on the Pollard side I like he just he looks better he's that more usage in the passing game Zeke's been bailed out by getting which you know is very positive getting the red zone touches and getting the touchdowns but if he wasn't getting those Pollard has a much shaker floor and I think just as high as an upside and I think they're both great starts they're both like mid to high-end RB twos I do think I would roll Zeke out there though it seems like they want him in those like high important those those touchdown situations the third downs the ones where it's a high impact situation they put Ezekiel Elliott out on the field so I'm gonna roll with that guy but Tony Pollard's a perfectly fine start as well happy with either own absolutely on the other side of the ball Matt Ryan put up a real freakin stinker last week he seemed like a slam dunk start and then he just stunk all over the field thanks Jay does Matt Ryan belong on the waiver wire for the rest of the season or is he a guy that you think has some upside because we've seen him get it done through the air the dude can have a 300 yard game out of nowhere if it's one QB there's no question he's on on the waiver wire super flex I don't think any starting quarterback should be on the waiver wire you know if it's in the right matchup even with a bad you know a bad game last week you know you should be you could do a lot worse than Matt Ryan indoors he does have some weapons I think that he's any if you're in a tough spot be somebody you can plug in with the matchups right absolutely I'm I'm with you Jay in a one quarterback league you've got better options you Jared Goff is probably out there on their waiver wire like we talked about previously you can go pick up Jared Goff hell Marcus Mariota and Marcus Mariota like he's good for 6070 rush yards I'd rather roll Marcus Mariota out there most games but it's tough sledding now is receiving options suffered last week because of that as well Michael Pittman I think is a start if you've got him on your team you're most likely starting Michael Pittman but Paris Campbell who had been a darling of Matt Ryan and his coaching staff disappointed last week jail you expecting a bounce back game for Paris Campbell against his Dallas secondary absolutely not South secondary isn't to the best but they're about middle of the pack but they're they have some all-stars there Trayvon digs fantastic and Paris Campbell has just he hasn't been consistent he hasn't been consistent I think Michael Pittman will get his yardage he'll get his opportunities in this game Paris Campbell I think it is much less of a guaranteed thing so I'm benching him if I can what about you J are you benching Paris Campbell or do you think there's some there's some upside for him in this game I'm a little more optimistic than jail but I agree that he does belong on the bench it Matt Ryan has seemed to like him this year he started him a ton but with as bad of it was last week and you know I'm really not expecting much better this week from Matt Ryan outside of the most desperate situations I don't want to start Paris Campbell and Jonathan Taylor he's in your lineups you just play Jonathan Taylor every single week there's not much that needs to be said about that guy he is a monster day unfortunately is that time with a full slate of football games there's gonna be injuries we got to go over them as we break down the fantasy landscape you want to give us a run down of the injuries that did take place in today's games yeah today was not a very good day unfortunately Trevor Lawrence he got tackled his leg and his knee got twisted but he did return to the game which I don't know if you saw it JL but it looked like it could have been season-ending I mean torn MCL ACL it looked bad but then yeah all T-Log came back out there and he you know was right I mean I think the first drive he came back he rushed the ball like three times so there's no long-term concern for T-Log J Lou Waddle also hurt his leg but he was somebody who did return to the game so I don't think there's any long-term concern there now for players that did not return trailing Burke's he took a big hit on a touchdown catch he did not return he was diagnosed with a concussion so hopefully not any long-term repercussions from that but it you know yeah and man I don't know how he hung on to that Paul and I don't think it was a dirty hit or anything it was just one of those you know bang bang plays it just it was it was tough it's kind of lit up in the end zone you know I wouldn't expect him to be back next week the week after who knows but you know it's it's so hard to gauge with a concussion Jimmy G had an ankle injury he had to be carted back to the locker room did not return so no word on that last that I checked and it did not look good though same thing for Kenneth Walker all he did go back to the locker room under his own power left the game of the ankle injury was quickly ruled out did not come back but Marjaxon left the game with a knee injury and I didn't see anything there was two potential plays you know we got tackled kind of hard as you said JL before we hopped on here it did sound like they don't think it's a season ending injury but we don't have any word as if to you know how many games he might miss we'll have to wait for the next few days to see if that's the case and then Hayden Hurst also left the game the Cincinnati Kansas City game with a calf injury not necessarily as high impact as the other guys but he's kind of developed into every week starter if you stream tight ends keep your eyes on those players we'll hopefully get some more positive news about them as the week progresses but if not it's gonna be another crazy waiver wire week as we approach the fantasy playoffs we had some questions in here before we get into these 1pm games guys Tom in here wanted to know in half PPR would you give Devonte Adams and Jeff Wilson for Alvin Camara and CD lamb JL would you be willing to make this trade Devonte Adams and Jeff Wilson for Alvin Camara and CD lamb oh man uh no I mean I just wouldn't do this trade I don't think this makes your team crazy amount better it's kind of crazy we're talking Jeff Wilson you know might be a similar type of level to Alvin Camara but I would probably just stick with with whichever side that you have it's just too much of a lateral move JL I was I'm so glad you said it first because I was going to say Alvin Camara and Jeff Wilson are in the same tier as for me rest of season like with what we've been seeing from each of them I mean don't get me wrong I will prefer Alvin Camara above Jeff Wilson rest of season but it's not this massive upgrade at the running back position that you would have thought this was going to be and then it is a clear downgrade for me from Devonte Adams to CD lamb don't get me wrong I love CD lamb but Devonte Adams is in that upper upper echelon of wide receivers I'm staying put if I'm you Tom I'm not making that move um Jay Gabin here earlier was telling us Jaylin Hertz was taking him to the promised land well the rest of his team is Saquon Barkley then Rashad White at running back with for Nat on the back burner Devonte Adams Jamar Chase AJ Brown at um at wide receiver then TJ Hawkinson at tight end Eagles D and Tyler Bass what do you think of this team Jay you think this is a championship caliber team yeah I think they should go ahead and whatever your league trophy is whether it's a trophy a bell a ring or something go ahead and get your game engraved on it because there's no way you're losing the team like that no I'm with you um DJ want to know do you think that Jalani Woods bet is good tonight so Jalani Woods is on the Fandals sports will get plus 700 for an anytime touchdown score tonight Jay would you be uh would you be sprinkling anything on that Jalani Woods tight end for the Indianapolis Colts I'd throw some Coles cash on that I think that uh you know he was involved last week and it is an indoor even though they're away it's indoors in Dallas definitely see situation you know especially to either they keep up with the Cowboys and they're gonna be throwing the ball or Dallas goes up big there's no scenario where the Colts go up big and they have to run the ball so yeah I think it's worth worth the shot I'm probably staying away I don't have any trust for the receiving options not I mean I'm not saying yeah that's why you get you know scared money don't make money you got to throw some on on the the uh I'm not saying go big but scared money don't make money 20 bucks on it plus 700 you know I'm gonna put my scared money on someone not named Jalani Woods I think is where my scared money's gonna go but hasn't been using the red zone as much she's uh just a little bit concerning but you know it's like like most tight ends in that tight end glob they could get a touchdown you could absolutely get a touchdown tonight plus 700 for a tight end glob touchdown you could do a lot worse than that yeah Jeb in here what's up Jeb Jeb want to know Michael Pittman or Rashad White in the flex that is a tough one Jail where you going here Michael Pittman playing tonight against the Cowboys you've already talked about that secondary being a little bit scary and then Rashad White doesn't have the easiest matchup in the world either going up against the New Orleans Saints tomorrow that's true not the easiest uh matchup against the Saints but I'm still going to go Rashad White uh it's unlikely Leonard Fournette's going to be playing in this uh Rashad White has been the guy and he looks awesome Michael Pittman you know that he has been decent a quietly decent but at the same time we we could see Dallas shut this Colts passing game down tonight so I'd rather go White with the safer upside on running back what about you Jake because I feel like this is a close one yeah it is definitely close and I agree with Jail I lean Rashad White uh everything he said and also the Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive line is banged up so I would expect Rashad White to still be involved in the passing game even more so you know Tom Brady having to dump it off because of the pressure you know Tom Brady is obviously not going to rush the ball um so yeah I'm going to go Rashad White I think he's got a higher floor and a similar upside we got just killer in here saying hello hello just killer welcome in my friend you are just in time to talk about the game of the week game of the week the Baltimore Ravens took down the Denver Broncos 10 to 9 in the game of the week the fantasy showdown we all expected this game was boring it was I was looking at the the Denver Broncos their their seasons so far and they've hit the under on like every game but three there are three games where they've hit the over uh 40 the pff which is just wild you're telling me 19 points wasn't on the over this line wasn't set at 17 this line did not hit the over uh the total is set at 40 for this game of course we had it under but Denver did cover the spread here which was at nine points nine points which is uh it's pretty impressive Amar Jackson went down very early on with a knee injury Tyler Huntley filling in for him but Tyler Huntley was not able to really keep up against this Denver Broncos defense this Denver Broncos defense is good guys they're fantastic you know as much uh shit as the Broncos have been getting this year that their defense has been a decent uh bright spot here so Tyler Huntley 27 completions on 32 attempts 187 yards no touchdowns no passing touchdowns in this game he threw at least one interception exactly one interception not at least one interception uh decent fantasy game though and that's of course because Tyler Huntley does rushing he loves rushing 16.58 fantasy points uh this is a solid option if you somehow played Tyler Huntley probably not his uh his receiving options here to Marcus Robinson Devon Duvernay the top receiving options on this team Devon Duvernay I'm sorry Marcus Robinson was the receiving leader finishing with 11.1 fantasy points seven receptions on eight targets 41 yards then Devon Duvernay didn't have a bad game either six perceptions on six targets 34 yards 10.3 fantasy points so if you flex out of these guys you are probably pretty happy uh Mark Andrews had 9.4 fantasy points started at seven times we had four receptions for 53 yards overall this to Baltimore offense defense was just not really moving not really moving too much moving on to the uh to the Denver side of this Broncos man the Broncos they somehow found a way to lose still somehow found a way to lose uh three field goals in this game the Russell Wilson he had he only passed 22 times it was decent when he did pass they just didn't pass enough uh Russell Wilson is still just not there what'd you guys did you guys see anything uh no worthy from Russell Wilson in this game that stood out to you are you hopeful at all that that Russell Wilson can turn around the rest of the season you see a player too where he turns into scramble man right like like every game you see a player too where we get like old school scramble man Russell Wilson out there and it looks like oh he's got it and then the very next play it's like oh that was to his feet oh he didn't see he didn't see the the address you're coming in that's about to hit him like something is off it's still there like I know it's still there but I've got no hope that we're going to see it consistently because it's what we've been seeing all season you see little flashes you see little bits maybe this game was better than some but still you're not right in home about 189 yards and no touchdowns right no I'm with you Simon I'm with you I'm not I'm not super hopeful he'll be able to turn it around uh Latavius Murray in this game he had decent 17 carries 47 yards no touchdowns 10.10 or 10.1 fantasy points Jay are how are you where is Latavius Murray stack up rest of season uh in your rankings I mean back end rb2 just because of the bottom that he's getting his offense does not look good like you said I mean they they couldn't score touchdowns today against a banged up Baltimore defense um you know you like to see that he's using the passing game as well four targets 17 carries but outside you know more of a back end rb2 a flex play not somebody that I'm excited to get in my lineup more of uh if I need a warm body to throw in then willing to put him in there hot that's hot give me give me Deon to foreman over him rest of season give me Brian Robinson over him rest of season give me Jerick McKinnon no I'll take I'll take Latavius Murray over Jerick McKinnon but it is very close right there McKinnon's got that third down roll locked up with the chiefs it's his much better offense too much better offense man there's some funny Jerick McKinnon plays this game we'll get to that in a bit but don't get sidetracked jail don't get sidetracked get sidetracked what about uh what about zonovan knight are you taking Latavius Murray or zonovan knight rest of season Latavius Murray I'll take Latavius Murray over bam knight I don't have faith in him to maintain a full role in that backfield they've got three competent backs and him Ty Johnson and James Robinson well this Bronco situation is messy they've had a little bit more time to work it out to figure out how it's going to look and it looks like what Tavius Murray has come out on top um so I've just got the upsides low but the trust is there that he's going to see the work so I'll roll Latavius Murray yeah I'm with you Simon I'm with you now Coreland Sudden also went down with an injury this game uh he had one target before going down with a hamstring injury a Kendall Hinton might be someone to keep an eye on depending on how bad this hamstring injury is we'll have to get to see what the sort of news comes out this week Jerry Judy uh was the next I guess receiving option here four receptions four targets 10.5 fantasy points in this game it's pretty decent uh pretty decent I guess for term for Jerry Judy uh in this offense we're only passing 22 times right that's that's you're probably happy about that if you had to start Jerry Judy this year but I think the the main storyline in this Denver offense is Simon you're gonna be happy about this it's Greg Dulcich Greg Dulcich was the receiving leader on this Denver Broncos offense eight targets six receptions 85 yards some of those are beautiful he had some beautiful catches in this game uh 14.5 fantasy points is Dulcich is he making a case to come out of the tight end glob for you guys he's done everything in his power to escape the tight end glob it's this Denver Broncos offense that's holding him back from fully escaping that glob if this offense was scoring more than 15 points a game like if he had any real touchdown upside on a on a weekly basis due to be fully out of the glob because he's getting the volume and like he's been a reliable receiving option for Russell Wilson under center but this offense is just not good enough for a tight end to escape the tight end glob he's still in there but his talent and everything we're seeing it it makes me hopeful for him in the future like this dude's a star okay what where would Greg Dulcich be finishing if he was say on the bills what do you think Jay I mean I think he'd be locked in top 10 every week starter on the bills um even you know Josh Allen doesn't traditionally target the tight end it's on but I mean he can actually throw touchdowns you can actually play football unlike Russell Wilson um Simon I think he summed it up perfectly Dulcich's look great but this offense has just been terrible you know even though he had a big game this week week before three points week before that seven points week before that 2.1 and it's not because of him when Russell Wilson gets him involved he looks phenomenal but it's just this offense is just so bad what do you think Simon what if what if Greg Dulcich was on a much better team what would be for you top 10 is a pretty cool take so heaven it would be it would be it would be just pure joy I would uh I would start questioning reality if I woke up tomorrow and Greg Dulcich was on the bills because it would be everything I wished for that being said that you made the point I'm not sure how he would fit into this offense I think he benefits here either Corlan Sutton or Jerry Judy has been injured for the majority of the season right um he's played well with him on the field but these uh he's not competing with Stefan Diggs he's not competing with Gabriel Davis for targets either he would likely be I'm looking at the names up there I'd have Travis Kelsey ahead of him I'd have Mark Andrews TJ Hawkinson Dallas Goddard ahead of him Friar Muth ahead of him Kittle ahead of him and then I think it would be I think it would be Greg Dulcich so that puts him at 7 that puts him at tight end 7 for me if he was on a he was on a better team yeah that's fair yeah I really don't think there's too much else that we need to hit on in this game 10 to 9 means generally a pretty non impactful fantasy game whenever there was only one touchdown score and it was at the very end of that game but we're gonna move on to a slightly more exciting game here the Green Bay Chicago game Chicago went up but couldn't hold on to the lead and the Packers took it home 28 to 19 say what you want about Aaron Rodgers but he does continue to own the Chicago Bears 28 to 19 you know like Simon said the Bears got off to a really hot start but uh the Packers turned it on in the second half Aaron Rodgers while he did not have a great game 182 yards and a passing touchdown he did not throw a pick uh as we all know Aaron Rodgers has been really inconsistent this season he's had four straight games with less than 250 passing yards the past two games he's had less than 200 he's been battling rib injuries a thumb injury um but they are on by in week 14 so he's got just a little bit of time to heal up uh he does have really good matchups for the fantasy playoffs with the Rams the Dolphins and the Vikings can you guys start Aaron Rodgers in the fantasy playoffs you know Superflex or 1QB? Sure Superflex you have to start him he's almost a must start in Superflex he's definitely a top 20 quarterback and 1QB I mean looks like this dude's turning it on now the biggest concern here is he does have that injury and there's talks about shutting him down for the rest of the season if they get knocked out of playoff contention uh which the Packers are likely to get knocked out of playoff contention so if that happens like just be careful picking up Aaron Rodgers as your rest of season starter relying on him because I wouldn't be shocked he's not happy with this organization he is expected not to play there next year whether that's somewhere else or just not playing in the league and there's a very real chance he just doesn't play once they're eliminated from the playoffs yeah that's a good point and uh the matchups his matchups going forward aren't the best he's got the LA Rams and he's got Miami then Minnesota it's not the the most fantastic it's not the worst matchups but it's also not the best so I I think he'll he'll likely just be this QB2 range that we've seen yeah absolutely that's fair for the uh the running backs on well excuse me the rushers not necessarily running backs because Christian Watson did have a 46 yard touchdown run uh Aaron Jones had a shin injury left the game for a little bit but AJ Dillon finally came alive 18 carries 93 yards he rushed for 5.2 yards per carry and a touchdown got some usage in the passing game as well with three catches on three targets and 26 yards um he led the team in carries and rushing yards for the second and he scored for the second straight game uh another guy who's been a pretty big disappointment but he's got back-to-back finishes with over 17 ppr points and even when Aaron Jones was cleared from injury they wrote the hot hand Aaron Jones was sitting on the sideline um because AJ Dillon just looked good um so similar question to the Aaron Rodgers they do have a buy in week 14 but are you starting AJ Dillon in the fantasy playoffs it all it's all it's it's all gonna depend depend on what your options are he's not gonna get 18 carries every game right like he's Aaron Jones was injured in this game he was limited by this injury so you know you have to you have to take this performance with a grain of salt yeah I mean we we've always known that AJ Dillon can do this this is why he was so hyped coming into the all seasons because people saw him do this his delicious thighs that too I'll repeat my answer in case anyone missed it no no I will not be starting AJ Dillon in the fantasy playoffs don't buy like this is this feels like an anomaly performance over the past couple weeks he hasn't been this involved and you know what it kind of fits the narrative that we've been talking about here the reason AJ Dillon has been bad is because the Packers have been bad the Packers have not been up big in games they haven't been able to get this running game going they haven't been able to support two fantasy relevant running backs and I'm not going to sit here and say that the Packers are going to turn it around which I think is what would be required for AJ Dillon to find this continued success because Aaron Jones is still going to be their lead back when healthy I believe this isn't like a passing of the guard this is like Jail said a hot hand and the guy who came in and took on an extended role because of the injury to Aaron Jones yeah so I'm not moving it that way and you lose a week because of the because of the bye week next week anyways right yep and that's you know just a an extra week for Aaron Jones to get healthy I'm with you guys I feel like if you're throwing a AJ Dillon year long if you just chasing points and that that generally does not work out in your favor for the receivers for the Packers Christian Watson just continues to score touchdowns it's all this guy does six targets he uh was tied with Alan Lazard for the lead three receptions 48 yard uh you know Alan Lazard had an okay game but this is pretty much what he's done this year it's five catches on six targets 67 yards you know if he has a touchdown you're okay but Lazard has somewhat been a disappointment I'd say not anybody else you're really interested in from the past catchers uh Aaron Jones you know involves in the passing game like always five catches on five targets like I said Christian Watson just keeps doing it he's continued his touchdown onslaught he caught one rushed for one over the past four weeks he's averaging six targets a game 78 yards per game he scored eight touchdowns over the past four games he's been the top 10 wide receiver in each of those games is he a must start from this for the fantasy playoffs yeah I mean probably at this point he just can't stop score and touchdown so ride that hot hand baby I forgot to listen to the player that you said and so I was hoping jail would say his name out loud Christian Watson I was like and say the name of the guy that you're talking about that guy is he good I mean who else on the Packers is just can't help but score touchdowns here's what I'm gonna tell you what happened I heard that part Mercedes Lewis and then Justin Fields name caught my eye on this sheet and I just started thinking about Justin Fields and I started thinking about that touchdown and then all of a sudden I was like wait where am I I'm not I'm not watching Justin Fields run a touchdown in who are you guys what are we talking about and Christian Watson you just play him at this point I'm done not playing him I've been the guy saying hold off he can't sustain this he can't sustain this but he's an integral part of this offense and Aaron Rodgers likes him and this is one of the few quarterbacks in the league once they've gained that trust I think you just roll with the players that he's chucking the ball to he likes Christian Watson Christian Watson keeps scoring touchdowns put him in your lineups yeah I agree with both of you guys JL I think he's something that you said that I don't want to let slip through the cracks don't be afraid to ride the hot hand at this time of the year I'm gonna Ross St. Brown Sonya Michelle were guys that came out of nowhere last year got super hot and led a lot of teams of championships so I think that's something you know you can't be afraid to do just because he struggled earlier in the year you know it's everybody gets caught up on you know draft capital and oh I gotta start this guy because I've trapped him this high but Christian Watson man he just looks absolutely phenomenal Justin Fields had a very Justin Fields day did not throw any touchdowns but he did throw for 254 yards he also rushed for 71 yards and a touchdown he looked pretty good after you know battling the shoulder injury it wasn't a dislocated shoulder it was a separated shoulder I believe is what they said looked pretty good I think there's no concern for starting him the rest of the year unless they decide to shut him down which now I don't see happening but it is possible but if he's out there you're starting them yeah and I know he's got this tough playoff matchups against the Eagles and the Bills I'm still starting Justin Fields it doesn't it doesn't matter to me look at what this dude does on the ground he did it again today 55 yard rushing touchdown we talk about like these players that are rushing threats like don't get me wrong Jalen Hurts great rushing quarterback Josh Allen great rushing quarterback when you look at those rushing touchdowns that those guys are getting they're mostly goal line carries they're mostly getting those one two three yard touchdowns right there at the goal line Justin Fields is consistently making plays in the open field to score these long rushing touchdowns he might be the best rushing quarterback in the NFL right now just with what we're seeing and how he uses that ability like I'm not saying he's a better QB than Lamar Jackson or Jalen Hurts but what he's done this year he's been the most threatening rushing quarterback on the ground since he started playing like this around week five I wonder what that has to do with like game scheming too like they you know defenses these teams they know kind of what they're going to expect with Lamar and Jalen Hurts a bit now right because they've seen it a bunch Justin Fields they haven't seen it this is a newer thing I wonder how much that plays into it surely it plays a role the more tape they have on a player the more they're going to be able to prepare for them right yeah right and especially like rushing quarterbacks it feels like that's one of that's that's a specific situation where when they expect it it you can limit it that being said the Bears top receivers are McKeel, Harry, Equinamia, St. Brown so I don't think teams are too scared of the the receiving there in Chicago either that's exactly what I was going to go into I think you know Justin Fields looks phenomenal but they keep losing games and I think part of it is because what you just said Simon you know he hasn't had the the receiving weapons he hasn't had the big passing games where he's able to lead teams leave the Bears to a victory through the air so teams are like okay if you want to run that's fine as long as we win the game with you you have the highest most targets on the team was Colcomette with seven so he had six catches 72 yards Equinamia St. Brown that led the team in receiving yards with 85 yards yeah you're not going to get too excited about that the only other guy I'm really excited about on the Bears is David Montgomery he looked pretty good again today he's getting the volume 14 carries for 61 yards and a touchdown and he got usage through the air as well he had five targets four catches for a whopping six yards so more excited about that in PPR leagues but somebody that I think you know finish the season strong yeah with Gleel Herbert on the IR David Montgomery is an every week start for the most part depends on your options but that running back landscape gets gross it's gonna be hard to imagine a team where he's not starting yeah we had a question in here from Jake well not a question just some fantasy grieving and this is a place for fantasy grieving he said waddle and walker injury screwed my fantasy this week and robbed my projected win went from 95% down to 22% yeah I feel that I feel that it was the Jackson for me yeah Simon I was telling Simon before we started league that I needed to win this week to get into playoffs when I'm in with JL the flex leagues I think I just got knocked out because I had waddle I had walker I also had Jimmy G and Joe Mixon so yeah not not great Bob it's uh I feel your pain you know misery loves company so if you need a hug come on over I'll give you a pink bear hug well we're talking out fantasy is a lot of scale and a lot of luck there's just as much luck mixed in there you need things to go your way especially in a game like football where it's so individual score heavy right like touchdowns make this even a higher variance game as opposed to maybe something like basketball where there's a lot more statistics to go around um in a single game geek hippie in here said sup everybody what's up geek welcome in dj letting us know he just put 10 bucks on Jelani plus 700 for that touchdown today he's rolling with you he put a little sprinkle on there that's what I'm talking about get it get it dj I now um now I now I have to stay up and watch the game I was excited because my matchups were finished I could go to bed early not watch it now I gotta watch and see if Jelano Woods gets a touchdown our friend soft ballsack is back uh what's up mr ballsack I believe that's Swedish I'm not mistaken uh he wanted to know do we know how bad walkers injury is jade do we have any update on how bad walkers injury is I can look at real quick but um as we started the show no injury update other than he was out for the game he did walk back he didn't have to be carded back so take that for what it's worth it's better than being carded back but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be back ready to go next week we'll have to keep our eyes peeled for that guys this next game one that I expected to go a little bit differently uh it was a Detroit Lions Jacksonville Jaguars game the Lions ended up winning 40 to 14 in this one the Jaguars just couldn't quite get it going and Jay I think a big part of that is something you mentioned earlier in the show was Trevor Lawrence's injury uh relatively early into this game it looked really bad I did not expect him to see him did not expect to see him come back out onto the field but he was out there but I definitely think the dude's hurting um I don't think he came out perfectly healthy uh he looked like he was in pain out there on the field he finished the day 17 for 31 179 yards and a touchdown adding 32 yards on the ground as well this is kind of a like a cool off game after he's been on a bit of a tear through the previous weeks jail if Trevor Lawrence is healthy if he's able to get right going into next week is he a quarterback you're trusting down the stretch and fantasy because he's quietly been a top 10 guy so far this season yeah he's been good I've talked about the jaguar schedule uh being fantastic the playoff schedule rest of season for him at least fantasy playoffs not an actual playoffs uh if he's healthy yeah I think he is a great option to plug and play yeah I'm still rolling with Trevor Lawrence this was a rough game but he was injured he got to still roll with him he's been killing it for fantasy this was travis etn's first game back he didn't miss games but he did go out injured last week wasn't sure if he was going to play this week he ended up playing he had 13 carries for 54 yards and uh added three receptions on three targets for 12 yards through the air as well again another disappointing performance I think this is a bit of a theme here on the Jacksonville side there were a couple bright spots but Jay travis etn has been a fantasy star um coming out after they traded james robinson away taking this lead back job are you still trusting travis etn in your fantasy playoffs even on a bad jacksonville team absolutely he's been a stud and the Detroit Lions defense especially against the running back has played really well this year they're gonna tough match up for fantasy purposes I don't take much away from it especially with you know Trevor Lawrence going out early it's just a game that just kind of got weird real quick for the jackwires and their offense you know etm is coming back from the injury as well so I have no concerns with etn long term I'm plugging him in next week now and for the receivers for Jacksonville Christian Kirk must start in my eyes every single week he's Trevor Lawrence's favorite target on this team and he gets it done JL do you disagree with that or do you think Christian Kirk's one of those players it's plug-and-play uh didn't you just say that he's plug-and-play you're saying are you asking if I disagree with that yeah I was asking do you disagree or do you agree with the statement that he's plug-and-play I thought you I thought you said one thing and then just can't contradict yourself he's playing play so I'm tired I'm with Simon he's number if he's if Trevor Lawrence is still playing going forward I'm throwing Christian Kirk in my lineup unless I have like a top 10 option at wide receiver he's a solid wide receiver to the rest of season he's been at the season and the opportunities are there I mean to your point I think he's been more than a wide receiver to this season he's the wide receiver 10 on the season so far like he's been a top 12 wide receiver on the season and it's like people don't even care you play Christian Kirk now the other receiving options in Jacksonville Evan Ingram was the one that hit the jackpot today seven targets five receptions 30 yards and a touchdown got that touchdown to make you happy but when I look at this receiving core here we had some big z Jones weeks we've had some big Marvin Jones week we've had some big Evan Ingram weeks I'm starting to think it's just spread a little bit too thin after Christian Kirk for me to reliably pick any of these players to start week in week out jail are there any of the secondary receiving options Evan Ingram at tight end Marvin Jones or Z Jones at receiver the stand out to you above the others as a player you're trying to pick up in fantasy I mean Z Jones has been very solid for fantasy purposes I picked him up in a few leagues where I needed wide receiver and he's been solid today it wasn't there but that's you have to expect that from Z Jones who's the you know wide receiver two in this offense which semi-inconsistent at least in the passing game um yeah I think I think he's a fine flex option Jay what about you are you agreeing that Z Jones kind of separates himself from the other guys or is this a mess yeah no I think it's he separates especially you know he's got tied for the second most targets on the team we've seen him do it this season he's had some big games you know it's definitely disappointing today but again Trevor Lawrence went out you're happy to see that he is higher the target share for this team I think he's a flex play enough or more on the Detroit side of this ball we're going to start with what Eric is asking here is Swift back he did see Swift come into this game and get more carries than Jamal Williams 14 carries for 62 yards and got that touchdown on the ground as well then he added four receptions for 49 yards off six targets through the air a pretty good fantasy day 21.2 PBR fantasy points for Deandre Swift so JL I posed to you what Eric posed to us is Swift back Swift is back uh yeah I mean we had this conversation last week I believe it was on our our morning show which was Jamal Williams taken over that Deandre Swift role and I think this is just goes to show that that he has it especially in the minds of the most important people uh to answer that question which is the Wiggles and the Wiggles yeah also the Wiggles can you name a blue Wiggle um yeah sorry gotcha it's like Gatorade you can just say the color right you just say blue and you're good but yeah I mean Jamal Williams still a factor still still startable in fantasy uh I think he's a solid RB2 going forward that the red zone work he's been getting the goal line work he's been getting has been fantastic not in this game but in general um I think they're going to keep doing that but what we're seeing is Deandre Swift getting better right he's healed week after week he's getting a little bit healthier and healthier and they're just going to keep shifting that towards Deandre because he's an explosive player this is the game I was waiting for I did not want to play Deandre Swift until I saw it because he'd been on the field for a couple weeks now but not totally healthy I believe them now like I believe now that Deandre Swift is back he's fully off the injury report he got more carries than Jamal Williams in this game six targets as well I'm starting Deandre Swift down the stretch what about you Jay yeah I completely agree with everything you guys said you know Jamal Williams does lead the NFL in touchdowns but you know so many of those touchdowns have come when Amon Ross St. Brown has get tackled at the wonder Jam um Deandre Swift breaks off a long run and then has to come off because he's winded so yeah I think it's always been Deandre Swift's backfield he's just finally healthy like you guys said he's definitely the more dynamic player while I do think Jamal Williams is an every week start because he gets that red zone work Deandre Swift is a whole another level and somebody that I'm excited to see what he can do down the stretch real quick one other player we got a hit on here Amon Ross St. Brown all I gotta say is yeah that dude is killing it he's doing it again he's gonna win some more people fantasy leagues I feel like 12 targets 11 receptions 114 yards and two touchdowns coming down with 34.6 ppr fantasy points so what I wanted to do with you guys was play an Amon Ross St. Brown name game who would you prefer rest of season so I've got some names prepared and uh Jay we'll start with you Amon Ross St. Brown or Mike Evans rest of season St. Brown not even close JL yep St. Brown what about Amon Ross St. Brown or Amari Cooper rest of season St. Brown St. Brown okay Amon Ross St. Brown or T Higgins rest of season St. Brown that's a good one but I think I gotta go yeah I gotta go St. Brown too okay what about a player we just talked about Amon Ross St. Brown or Christian Kirk rest of season St. Brown okay one last one I'm curious where that line is Amon Ross St. Brown or CD Lam rest of season oh I'm going to say Brown I'm gonna go I just said that I can't believe I just say that but yeah uh oh my frozen can you still hear me I can hear you but you are you look like a mannequin I'm gonna go St. Brown St. Brown I think that's where I draw the line I think that's where I go CD Lam but when I was putting this together the names I was originally looking at like I was a little bit further down I was like Tyler Lockett no Michael Pittman like it was amazing how quickly Amon Ross St. Brown got up into those top seven eight wide receivers for rest of season for it to even be a conversation with CD Lam and Amon Ross St. Brown says everything you need to know about the guy like it's just absolutely phenomenal what he's done on this offense um and you know people are concerned with Jamo coming back but man I think it's only you know opening things up for this offense they play completely different roles I think Amon Ross St. Brown has locked in these the the new Wes Welker the you know that middle of the field Guy Cooper couple last year that just especially in PPR leagues just absolutely destroys it one last thing I want to hit on from this game it was Jamison Williams NFL debut and coming back from that injury it was expected that he wouldn't be too involved and that was the case one target zero reception zero yards didn't turn it into much but Jay are you holding on to Jamison Williams in fantasy at all or are you dropping off I think you have to hold on to him the upside that he has um you know I definitely he's a situation I hope you didn't have to start him today because you they were already said that he was going to have limited snaps coming off the injury that he did it's going to take some time but as much as Detroit is throwing the ball um you have to hang on to him if he's out there on any waiver wires pick him up throw him on your bench um his upside is well worth it all I wanted to talk about from that game but we have another game to hit on here the Cleveland Browns winning this one twenty seven fourteen and you would think there would be more touchdowns on the box score for the Browns but uh you got to scroll down to find those this was a weird one this is a super weird game uh I gotta admit thought to Sean Watson will come back and be a little bit more explosive in this game uh than he was it's funny I Marie and I were in Cincinnati this weekend and we're we're in the uber and there's guys got like sports radio on he starts like we're just listening to him talk and they sports radio host starts talking about Sean Watson uh starts talking about Sean Watson then our uber driver starts telling us how he's related to him he's like his ex wife's cousin or something and so we're sitting there just talking about you know to John Watson and the whole thing the family like his interactions all sort of stuff but I thought I thought Sean Watson would uh would have a little bit less rust he absolutely had some rust in this game but really I think the mean thing that happens game is the Browns defense just went off they went off they turned they forced a bunch of turnovers there were four turnovers by the Houston Texans in this game a bunch of defensive scoring and they rushed a lot they ended up rushing a lot and so uh Sean Watson didn't end up um really having an explosive game he had 12 completions on 22 attempts 131 yards one inner one really bad interception uh which was clearly rusty just completely ignored a uh a safety in the end zone and got it picked off in the end zone so that was unfortunate um what'd you guys see from Sean Watson's debut back are you at all concerned you think this is a this is a case of of Rustin whole kit kick it back next week or or what I want to see another game because this game went I think exactly how maybe was expected from a game script plan right like if you looked at the matchup against the Houston Texans and you look at the roster that the Browns have they've got a quarterback coming back who hasn't started in two years they have arguably the best running back in the league in nick chubb and they're going against the Houston Texans who have been ripped apart by opposing running backs all season long it makes sense to me that they ran the ball 38 times in this game and only had to Sean Watson throw it 22 he was rusty they've got the bangles next week I'm a little bit more curious how he looks in that game again that I expect them to be down and um I'm not going to be the experiment though I'm not going to be the guinea pig plugging to Sean Watson and into my line and some one quarter back leaks in week 14 I'm not doing it um if you want to hold them on your bench that's fine but I'm cool dropping them what about you Jay what did you see Sean Watson I think you guys hit the nail on the head he had the rust you know you definitely saw some of the the magic from him you know the way he's able to move the pocket some of the passes that he was able to make but he also threw some in the dirt he had some worm burners you know throwing it at Amara Cooper's feet a few times and something you know you have to take into consideration too he doesn't play a single game the rest of the season indoors where you know he had a lot of success in Houston indoors so two years you know coming back from not playing for two years on a new team a new offensive scheme still learning to players outdoors you know in Cincinnati in Cleveland in Cleveland Washington in Pittsburgh well week 18's Pittsburgh I hope you don't play week 18 in fantasy but I'm not too excited about putting in my lineups I would prefer not to unless you know you have no other options but one QB I drop them and super flex I would really look elsewhere until we see the Sean Watson of a couple of years ago back DJing here with some breaking news before we move on saying Garoppolo broken left foot out for the remainder of the season damn that is rough rock party Brock Purdy mystery irrelevant the last pick of the NFL draft Brock Purdy who's irrelevant calling now they're going to sign Cam Newton oh that would be interesting yeah what do you guys know what does this do to the the San Francisco 49ers playoff chances I mean I think they still make the playoffs but if Brock Purdy's are starting quarterback they're not making it very far that's what I mean how well they're going to bear in the playoffs I mean you know what I say that but like Tim Tebow and the corpse of Peyton Manning made it to the Super Bowl right like this team has an incredible defense they've got Devo Samuel Brandon IU Christian McCaffrey um George Kittle on the offensive side of the ball a good offensive line are you really the best defense in the NFL maybe I'm being a little too harsh if Brock Purdy can just be a game manager out there then they could still make some noise they could win a game or two but it takes them away from the contention of being the best team in their division I have the best I have the best outcome the best outcome would be they signed Colin Kaepernick back to the team he takes them to the Super Bowl glory to Colin Kaepernick let's go that would be wild the televisions would explode would explode if that happened that would be another level and I live for a narrative I keep saying that like the NFL should just fully embrace like the reality television aspect of the sport because I love the storylines I want to see all the storylines Jimmy Grapple only had four attempts so even with that being the case they beat the Miami Dolphins what 33 to 17 you know obviously it's not going to be the same but Jimmy G was you know a glorified game manager more so than that but it's not like he was going to carry the team on his back um I still think they could they could go all the way the way this team is built I would much rather see them sign somebody else you know uh vet off the uh off the couch but stranger things have happened in the NFL you heard it from Jay put in your Super Bowl MVP Brock Purdy bets now $700 but Johnson won a Super Bowl so I'm scared money don't make money says Jay that's that's what they say Michael Scott Michael Jordan Wayne Gretzky and Grimm says bring fit bring back Trent Dilford they're going to go further back there so back into this Browns Texans matchup Karim Hunt had a pretty good game nine carries 56 yards uh three targets two receptions 18 yards 9.4 fantasy points pretty pretty solid day for Karim Hunt Nick Chubb he had a ton of carries ton of opportunities uh only eight points so 17 carries 80 yards no touchdowns uh obviously Nick Chubb's still the guy there I think this is just a no touchdown game and unfortunately guys like Nick Chubb who don't get targeted a ton and PPR formats aren't going to have that same upside on the receiving side Donovan People's Jones he got his 13.4 fantasy points on three freaking targets three targets three receptions 44 yards Donovan People's Jones has he's been making happy he he had that uh he had a punt return for a touchdown in this game too and he looks so good you guys see that it was beautiful it was it was beautiful Donovan People's Jones looks electric out there um and he has throughout the season um I'm excited for him down the stretch yeah yeah me too I think you know there's not a ton to take away from this guy obviously at Murray Cooper kind of had just an okay game here eight fantasy points nine targets four receptions 40 yards I think this is a situation where they didn't pass a ton right we mentioned that at the top of this uh this recap here 22 times that's not it's not very much and it's not typical of a Deshaun Watson uh offense so I do expect that to change when you score three touchdowns through defense or special teams your offense changes your offense changes you're not taking risks you didn't have to do that to win this game they scored 27 points without an offensive touchdown here so take everything from this game with a bit of a grain of salt game script was weird game script was very weird on the Texan side of this uh Damian Pierce excuse me Damian Pierce uh who coming into this week was not really doing so hot he was kind of stalling out a little pitter patter from from Damian Pierce and a lot of people were concerned uh coming in the week we were talking about how Cleveland was such a good matchup for running backs and Damian Pierce he delivered you know it wasn't overwhelming 12.5 fantasy points 18 carries 73 yards but that's solid for a fantasy football running back are you Simon I know you early in the week you're talking about how this this is a slam dunk matchup for Damian Pierce is this underwhelming for you are you does this make you any more concerned rest of season for him you hope for more right you want that touchdown but I'm seeing everything here that gives me reason to believe Damian Pierce is the guy we think he is over four yards of carry 18 carries he's the lead back on this Houston Texans team um and he's rather efficient most of the time whenever he's running the ball I wish he had gotten in for a touchdown then we'd be talking about Damian Pierce is back it was a bad two games it's underwhelming if you expected an RB top five running back performance but this is good this is good this is good for a running back yeah I'm with you and you know that 17 carries is solid that's what you want we can get that much opportunity that's that's great or 18 I'm sorry that being said the problem with Damian Pierce is when they go down big he doesn't get the work when they're down big they move away from the running game and we've seen that time and time again the Texans next three matchups the cowboys the chiefs the Titans it is not looking pretty in weeks 1415 and 16 for Damian Pierce so while this gives me hope those matchups are a little bit tough for them it's not the game scripts that you're hoping for yeah it would be brutal we had a question in here that I wanted to hit on it it's time sensitive Edward wanted to know should I start a Zeke Elliott or Alvin Camara full PPR I'm rolling Zeke here what about you Jay man this is tough I think he still have to go Zeke as much as I poo pooed him Kamara just hasn't been reliable and Zeke Zeke has and that matchup for Kamara against the Bucks is a very tough matchup for a player that hasn't been doing it anyways JL you agreeing with us is it a triple Zeke or are you rolling Kamara out there I'm gonna go Kamara here the reason being that Alvin Camara doesn't have a Tony Pollard behind him that's true or in front of him or to the side of him well he's probably directionally somewhere related to Alvin yeah they're on the earth I hope so okay Tony Pollard in space or Zeke on earth who are you starting oh Tony Pollard in space yeah it's a totally easy question yeah that's a really easy question how are they gonna stop them yeah you can't you can't all of a sudden Tony Pollard through the uprights you just slowly see him just running and getting smaller and smaller in this in the night sky and now I'm picturing it as Dak just chucks the ball up and everyone's like where the hell is that going then all of a sudden Tony Pollard dragon balls he's out yeah like it's flying down from earth with the dragon balls he flames around him and grabs the ball just creates a crater in the end zone touchdown salvation pot celebration NFL blitz returning it's ball they still get fine for jumping in the pot and they would still get fine for jumping in the pot guys we're gonna move on to our next game here the New York Jets in the Minnesota Vikings face today the Vikings coming out on top in a very close game 27 to 22 I heard that in Liz's voice because they were playing that at my cousin's wedding this weekend that Liz a song whenever he said Minnesota Vikings new man on the Minnesota bike damn it jail now that's you son of a it took me even a second I could have just let it go and ignored you but I was like what does he talk oh we waited just a little bit and it just it sprouted in there now you know congratulations it's gonna be in there for the rest of the night probably the rest of the week but Mike White 31 completions on 57 attempts through for 369 yards did not throw any touchdowns he did throw two picks um he should have had a touchdown you had a game winning touchdown at the end of the game rax and barrio dropped a ball in the end zone but you have to be encouraged from a fantasy perspective what you saw out of Mike White chucked the ball um getting everybody involved Garrett Wilson had 15 targets Cory Davis had 10 targets uh Garrett Wilson eight catches 162 yards he did not have a touchdown even got Zahneman Knight involved in the passing game as well with five catches on five targets 28 yards I think Mike White in super flex leagues is pretty much locked in into it every week start until otherwise what do you guys think I want to see it next week he's had two good matchups for quarterbacks that is the past two weeks have been plus matchups now that being said he made a little bit more of a believer out of me today he looks good out there on the field and it looks like this offense is excited to have him in there you know what I mean and that makes a difference like the team is supporting Mike White and he looks like a good football player that being said the bills are a different beast than um then their past two opponents and the Vikings and the Bears so let's see what Mike White can do against the bills next week see if that magic continues here's the thing Mike White's not going to pass 57 times going forward every in every game 57 times is an absurdly high amount of times to pass the ball those are Joe Flacco numbers those are Joe Flacco numbers uh against Minnesota uh I can see it makes sense I wish that he would have turned 57 attempts into more than 17 point four fantasy points but I think this is solid and if they continue using him and then then he'll be great I don't know that he's an every week start and I don't think that's that he is that I'm willing to just throw him in that category after you know two weeks but I think he's a solid start in super flex uh weeks and Dustin down here reminding us the bills next week the Mike White killers yeah I would not be killed they killed the height for Mike White last year and a three interception game if I remember correctly we were all hired by Mike White and then all of a sudden we forgot about him until this year again so Detroit Jacksonville in Seattle Todd it's hot we had some questions in here that I want to hit these are time sensitive Kyle in here said full ppr down 16 Rashad White versus New Orleans or Michael Pittman at Dallas I know we hit a similar question earlier Jail where are you rolling here I'm going with Rashad White and Jay Rashad White for you as well right yep it's going to be Rashad White for me as well the New Orleans matchup is average right it's not an easy matchup for opposing running backs they're in the top half of the league but they're not one of those don't start your running backs against them kind of plays and Rashad White looks like the dude I like Michael Pittman as a play tonight though he's a he's a high level wide receiver two for me um but Rashad White's also in that tier you get a little bit more safety out of the running back there trust Matt Ryan ways looked grim wanted to know Olava or Landry in full ppr jail which way you roll in here I'm going to love it you got to start a lot of a weekend week out he's the leader on that team yep it's a lot of a for me he's borderline don't bench what about you Jay sleep it now a question for you guys I'm going to mix two of these up Michael Pittman or Chris Olava in full ppr Olava no hesitation although even though I was gonna say he doesn't have Matt Ryan throwing the ball but he's got 80 Dalton throwing the ball but uh big up at this point yeah at this point it kind of looks like a big upgrade so should I make that switch right now Michael Pittman to Chris Olava in the last player I would but it's so close Bollyard okay Michael Pittman I love you I'm leaving you in there um Maria here said I hate sweeping yeah sweeping is the worst just absolutely awesome sweeping or laundry son a sweeping without a doubt sweeping actually I got a new broom and it's changed the sweeping game it's it's made it enjoyable nice Jay what else did we have going on in this game Mike White had to throw the ball somewhere um I was still caught up on that sweeping conversation but we can go back to the game I guess um yeah so do the ball Garrett Wilson like I said 15 targets Corey Davis had 10 targets five catches on 85 yards you know me he started the season pretty decent I got injured and finally seems to be getting healthy was second on the team in targets five catches 85 yards you know the Jets outside of Buffalo have a good schedule coming up any interest at all in Corey Davis his potential flex play down the stretch sure sure I like it seems like Mike White likes him we've seen it from him before in this Jets offense I'll pick him up and play him over guys like Elijah Moore for sure Elijah Moore tricked me last week I saw just enough from him last week to get some hope I was like oh maybe I had multiple places today unfortunately that I I started them in one league as well Jay I was like at 3.7 fantasy points gross I said touchdown I'm like maybe just maybe he's back yeah nope nope completely droppable um but son of a night did get the most work in this backfield 15 carries the next highest was four from James Robinson I got 90 yards six yards per carry and like I said earlier he did get some uh some usage in the passing game five catches for five yards excuse me not for five yards five catches on five targets for 28 yards he had 14.3 ppr points we know the schedule that's coming up for him do you guys think that knight has carved himself out of role in this offense even when Michael Carter comes back it remains to be seen whether when Michael Carter comes back but this type of usage is what you absolutely want to see I mean this is this baller status 15 carries five targets that's fantastic that's a high end RB two numbers and if he's able to any those didn't turn into touchdowns this this game he's able to convert those into some touchdowns he's going to be fantastic I feel like a hater I like I feel like a hater in this situation I just don't trust bam night I don't trust bam night and whenever Michael Carter comes back they trust Michael Carter in this offense I I think this is a flash I like son of a night he's a spot start if Michael Carter is out but when he comes back I'm hands off I think I'm I'm uh I lean more towards jail so I think I'm in the minority here yeah I think you are but that's okay you know because we all you know that's what makes this fun just having the different opinions and DJ with you guys in here we got green fan and DJ both going bam bam they're all about son of a night and I like him because he uh played high school football like an hour and a half away from where I live so want to support the local guy but on the Minnesota Viking side although he did start oh for five her cousins had a okay game 173 yards a touchdown with Justin Jefferson they were able to squeak out the wind thanks to pretty solid game from Dalvin Cook as well Justin Jefferson got some work in the backfield but Dalvin Cook 20 carries 86 yards and a touchdown pretty much what you expect out of the past catchers uh from Minnesota at this point TJ Hodgson six uh six targets Justin Jefferson 11 targets seven catches 45 yards and a touchdown although we had a disappointing game you know the there's going to be better days ahead Justin Jefferson is an absolute stud outside of Justin Jefferson there's really no past catchers you're interested in other than TJ Hawkinson yeah I mean it makes it easy for fantasy right you start Dalvin Cook you start Justin Jefferson you start TJ Hawkinson and that's it you might want to start Alexander Madison after that twerk yeah maybe after the twerk if you're in a ppt league a point for twerk league uh you can get some you can get some Madison in there he was doing it dirty out there on the field that got me so good but um I mean that's also clear for fantasy right you hold on to Madison in case Dalvin Cook goes down like this team this Viking's team is a is a gift wrapped box to fantasy manager's decision making there's no decisions to make I guess Adam Thielen maybe but I you know what that decision has been made he's on my bench or on the waiver wire yeah we had absolutely we had a question here from Super CNP challengers asking Evans Pittman Olave PPR sit one I think we were all in the Olaves no Simon was on Pittman uh side and we were all on the Olave side but we didn't factor Evans is Evans changing anything for you guys this is sit one so we're starting two of these guys oh you're right you're right I think I would start I think I'd be sitting Pittman out of this group I think he's the one who's at risk he's the most likely to get Sean Lattimore is playing for the saints either I could be wrong on that but I mean that changes it that that's a major factor in this right because narrative street or not look at Marshawn Lattimore and Mike Evans track record against each other jail our friend Coop brought it up on the morning show earlier this week he pulled up every game Mike Evans has played against Marshawn Lattimore he's got one above 20 ppr fantasy points another one above 15 and then the rest are like 12 12 10 8 4 2 0 0 Marshawn Lattimore gets in his head and shuts him down so if if Lattimore is playing I'll roll out Pittman and Olave if Lattimore is not playing I'll roll out Pittman and Evans and Lattimore suffered a really serious injury has suffered a lacerated kidney and two broken ribs in week five like that you have to believe that even if he's back and playing he's gonna be not the same Lattimore that we've seen it's last thing that I can find is coach Dennis Allen said we'll see if he's playing so classic take that for what it's worth Evans and Pittman for me then said Olave throw Evans and Pittman out there but it sounds like for you guys it's Evans and Olave I feel like we have to have a bet with this Olave and Pittman that uh let's do it you guys want to do uh an animal noise bet for next week lock it in ppr ppr more points just straight up easy bet ppr more points Mike Evans or or Michael Pittman versus Chris Olave do it still it's me versus the world just just me versus you too it's got Phil Pilgrim versus the world and Super CNB saying oh shit is Lattimore out maybe we're waiting to find out we are waiting to find out more but based on what we're hearing it does sound like it's out guys we are approaching kick off here of the Dallas Cowboys Indianapolis Colts game before we get to that though I wanted to get some score predictions someone in here earlier asked us for how we thought the score of this Dallas Cowboys Indianapolis Colts game is going to turn out just as a reminder in case you forgot the Cowboys are 10 and a half point favorites at home in this game and the over under is set at 44 and a half over there on the fandable sports book jail what's the final score this game oh and not let me correct it the line is now moved the Cowboys are 11 and a half point favorites what's the over under 44 and a half 44 and a half of I will go with I'll go with 28 21 20 I was gonna I I didn't even have to ask unless you were just all of a sudden Jeff Saturday's biggest fan Jay Sunday where are you rolling here 27 17 Cowboys 27 17 Cowboys so the Colts are the sneaky cover for Jay right there and I'm gonna say I think the Cowboys win this game pretty handily I'll say the final score of this one 30 to 14 Cowboys 30 to 14 and that would be the world's worst under sitting at 44 on an over under 44 and a half but that's where we're rolling right here and you guys this is a football show but I wanted to give a shout out to DJ talking about Fred McGriff the crime dog getting elected to the baseball Hall of Fame so just a guy from my my childhood so that's pretty cool yeah welcome to the Hall of Fame Fred McGriff DJ coming in hot 56 7 Cowboys and I like grim fan the only person to predict the Colts win 38 27 he's got that Jeff Saturday in him yeah an 11 point win for the Colts grim fan if that happens you're a wizard and Super CMB with the 28 17 Cowboys let's go lots of Cowboys coming to the morning show tomorrow and we'll we'll celebrate whoever gap closes I
