 What's up everyone? Welcome into the week 15 Sunday night recap presented by FanDuel. I'm your host, Simon, joined as always by my wildly handsome, one facial haired, one not-so-facial haired co-hosts, John McGrath Lowe and Joey Wright. What's up, boys? What up? I've learned a lot about false hope today, thanks to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Joey, I walked up to Walgreens with my sister, not a second meal. She was like, okay, will you walk with me? Like, it's late. And I was like, yeah, of course, I'll walk with you. And when I left, the Buccaneers were winning. And I was gone, I swear 15 minutes and I come back and all of a sudden the Bengals are up by 10 points out of nowhere. It's so, it's so. Period. I'm sorry. It's been a rough year as a Bucs fan hasn't it? Yeah. But the good news is, you're probably still going to make the playoffs. It doesn't matter because this thing that's sad. The Panthers teams are having even worse years. I don't know. Panthers might still be from you. Well, Panthers, this was another upside down week of confusing games. The NFL is still drunk in week 15. I thought by this point in the season we would have some corrections, but Houston going neck and neck with Kansas City, Dallas losing to the Jaguars after almost losing to Houston last week. It's, it's been a nuts week. We got some people in here ready to talk about these week 15 games. Albert, what's up? Hello Albert. See you in the morning. See you in the evening.

DJ in here said, I'm getting there. I will tweet you some. He's going to tweet you out some new pictures. Guys, before we jump into the games, we still got some 4pm games going on. I wanted to talk about this Sunday night football game that we have coming up with all of the awesome games that were on the schedule this week. They saved the best game for Sunday night football, one where everyone's going to want to stay awake to watch the New York Giants face off against the Washington commanders. Both of these teams, the same exact record, seven, five and one for both of these guys. The commanders are four and a half point favorites at home here. Before I start asking about these players, I just want to know who do you think is going to win this game? I'll go Giants. The commanders, you know, Chase Young is not back. Their defenses look good, but I still have the Giants pull this out. And the Giants haven't gotten beat up against the run in recent weeks though, but maybe this is that get right game after they started what? Six in one? Six in one jail. You think this is a get right game for the Giants or the commander is going to roll through? Oh man, I think this is going to be a close game. I think we're going to get a division game. I'll take the Washington on the money line. Yeah, I think I'm taking Washington here as well, but it'll be close. It'll be close. Daniel Jones, I wanted to ask you guys about as we're going into this. It's fantasy football playoffs. A lot of people may be looking for that quarterback. Maybe they don't have a Justin Fields, a Justin Herbert, a Joe Burra. Daniel Jones. The last time they played Washington, he ran quite a bit. I think he had over 70 rushing yards. If I remember correctly, a pretty decent game. John Luke, do you think Daniel Jones is startable for fantasy tonight in this game? Startable. Yeah. Yeah. I think he is. That of course in one QB leagues does not mean much. I guess in super flex leagues, it doesn't mean much. One QB leagues. I'm still willing to start him. I have him as like a QB to this week. I think that's right in the longs, right in that Daniel Jones zone. The Daniel Jones zone. Joey, did Daniel Jones graduate out of the Daniel Jones zone this week for you or is he still sitting down there as a QB to range? Well, he's out of the Daniel Jones zone, but he's back into the Daniel Jones zone. He's in his own zone. But you know what? I like the giant schedule the next two weeks. They've got the Vikings. Wow. What a matchup right there for Daniel Jones. And they've got the Colts like both winnable matchups, good quarterback matchups. I wouldn't mind rolling Daniel Jones out in fantasy playoffs if I if I streamed quarterback, which I'm very confident to do. I know we're not talking that game right now, but you just brought up the Vikings and Colts and I was at a wedding yesterday. Okay, so right before the wedding starts, I look at my phone, Colts are up 23 zero and I'm like, Oh, cool. And I like asked my girlfriend just like jokingly we're sitting there in the pews like who do you think is going to win it? She's like, Oh, the Colts for sure. And I was like, Yeah, like I was just messing around like of course they're going to win without a doubt. And then later that night at the reception, I looked at my phone and I was like, What the hell did I miss? I went back and I watched as much of that game on YouTube as I could because that was absurd. I cannot believe that I blew it yesterday. Unbelievable. Totally blew it Saturday. What are you doing? We're like Jeff Wednesday. Am I right? My oldest daughter was my oldest daughter was watching the game with me yesterday afternoon. And we fell asleep on the couch and and I felt they were up I think 36 to three and woke up and it was a 10 point game and I'm like, What happened? What happened? She thought it was the greatest thing she'd ever seen. Oh, I bet. She loved the purple team. So she had column the purple team. We got Damon here. Well, well, well fancy meeting you here. Fancy meeting you here. Welcome. Fancy meeting you. See you in the morning. See you in the evening. See you in all the time. See you in all the time on the other side of the ball in the Washington side. This giant team has been getting beat up against opposing running backs over the last couple of weeks. They have not been able to stop the run. But this backfield for Washington has been a little bit ambiguous. It's been noncertain who you should be starting. John Luke, if you've got to start one of Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson tonight, which one are you plugging into your lineup? I'm fine starting Brian Robinson tonight. Honestly, I'm fine starting both of these guys. Giants run defense hasn't been that good. And they've been working both these guys into the rotation. Probably lean Brian Robinson over Antonio Gibson though. Jory, are you leaning Brian Robinson as well here? Yeah, Brian Robinson has looked good the last couple weeks and he's the running back of the future for this team in my opinion. And I think that change has already started to happen now. I think Gibson will still be involved with Brian Robinson's running back on our other play. Yeah, I'm with you. I'm rolling Brian Robinson out there ahead of Antonio Gibson as well. But I do think you can start Antonio Gibson in this matchup. I think this is a week where you can plug the role of Brian Robinson out there. Antonio Gibson probably more of a flex play or bench play emergency start. Jory, what do you expect from Antonio Gibson, like RB 2, RB 3 numbers? Flex the best numbers from him tonight. He might get you double digit fantasy points and make 10 points in the PPR League because he will catch the ball in the backfield. But outside of that, I'm not expecting much out of him. That's what you're really praying for. Outside of the usual suspects on the Washington side, you're starting Terry McLauren. Are there any other players that you think are even startable in this game besides Terry McLauren, Saquon Barkley, and then the previously mentioned players. It seems like a fantasy landfill after that. Yeah, I'm trying to think. I'm not starting Logan Thomas. I'm not starting any of the giants passcatchers. Maybe Richie James, probably not. Curtis Samuel, Jahan Dotson, any interest for either of those players? I'm fine starting either of those guys. They're flex players like Widersever 3 or more. Widersever 4 or more maybe is more likely. Maybe if you're interested, you might throw a little bit on Daniel Bellinger, but I don't have those kind of cojones. Now that his eyes back in his head and he's out there. Yeah, now that he has his eye back. I still can't believe that his eye just fell out. We're all good on that front. Joey, how are you feeling about Jahan Dotson? He's had some big games this year. It seems to come off the back of long touchdowns. Do you think he's startable? This year, I'm a little hesitant to start him unless I absolutely need to. He's somebody I definitely want in Dynasty though. So if you're in Dynasty Leagues, a lot of those Dynasty Leagues are still trading right now. So we'll say Dotson puts up a dud tonight. Go out there and trade for him. See what you can, what you have would have to give up to get him because I think he's going to be great once Washington gets a competent quarterback. Man, these rookie wide receivers this year, I feel like there's just so many that we're going to be talking about going into next season that have shown us flashes or have had incredible seasons. Jahan Dotson, David Bell, another one who we've seen little bits from, but maybe haven't blown up onto the scene all the way where it'll be interesting to see where these guys get drafted going into next season because Dotson has shown us that he's a talented player out there. Before we move on from this game, anything else either of you guys wanted to bring up, I am, I really wish we had a better Sunday night football matchup. Yeah, I do too. I said to my wife this one, I always look to what the Sunday night game is and I walked up to my honey, you know, you've done a lot this, this last couple of weeks. I'm going to put the kids to bed tonight and she's like game suck tonight. Yep. Check's out. Guys, we're going to move on from this game and start talking about the games that happened already today. First up that Philly Chicago game. The Eagles coming out on top 25 to 20 in this one. Yeah, I thought of the Eagles win 25 to 20 to improve to a league best 13 and 1. Was it Fly Birds? Was that what they say? Fly Eagle Fly? Something like that. I think they say J-E-T-S Cool, cool, cool. They hit us in the YouTube chat all the time with it. J-Wall is going to kill me because it's Fly Eagles Fly, that's what it is. I think that sounds right. Yeah. It also sounds very whimsical. Way more whimsical now that you say it that way. Like I thought it was cool before but now I don't know. No, now it's like really lame. Fly Eagles Fly. It's like whenever Hillary Clinton feeling herself going, it's just me chilling in Cedar Rapids and then all of a sudden that was dead. No one ever said that. Chilling was dead. Eagles quarterback sneak their way into victory in this one as Jalen Hertz pushed three touchdowns across the goal line in this contest. Jalen Hertz started off shaky with two interceptions but found his footing by the beginning of the second half rushing with 315 yards passing 61 yards rushing with three aforementioned rushing touchdowns. You got a plan for that. It's QB sneak every time with Jalen Hertz on the one yard line. He's now second in the league in rushing touchdowns regardless of position. So Jalen Hertz is having a great season. So guys, next year 2023 super flex dynasty drafts not dynasty just 2023 fantasy drafts you're sitting there. You've got the 101 Is Jalen Hertz now your number one pick? Probably, yeah. It's close between him and Josh Allen but I think it is Jalen Hertz. We've seen what they like to do with him. Three rushing touchdowns not many quarterbacks have that as a possibility even in their games with Jalen Hertz. I'm not even surprised seeing that on the stat line. I mean it's like oh cool Jalen Hertz had a good game not like holy cow yet three rushing touchdowns. He's got to be up there. 17 attempts. It's absurd. He's the one for me. Yeah, what's great about him is he can win anyway in these games. It's been really wonderful to watch this year. I kind of mentioned earlier that he was a player that I was kind of down on in the preseason a little bit and then I put out a quarterback rankings and got just completely roasted but it was good because it actually made me go back and look and say okay am I wrong on this and luckily I did make an adjustment and I was wrong because Hertz is the real deal. He's the dude. A.J. Brown another real deal nine receptions 181 receiving yards he's now fifth in the league in receiving yardage on the season Devonta Smith sixth straight game with at least eight targets he's finished today with five receptions four 126 yards What was that? He looked good. Yeah I've been really loving what I'm seeing out of Devonta Smith and I think a lot of it has to do with Dallas Goddard not being there. Do you guys feel that way too? Yeah. It certainly helps. This is what we love to see for fantasy. I mean just look at the receiving section of this box score down here right the targets are so heavily consolidated and the yardage this week is almost comical with how consolidated it is nobody else has over even 10 receiving yards in these two guys both over 125. It makes it easy for fantasy and you start with A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith and then you don't have to worry about anything else. It feels like mad in stat lines. The only disappointing factor from the Eagles today was pretty much Miles Sanders 11 carries to 42 yards with the season he's been having we've seen a lot better games from him but this week is a little disappointing on the bare side of the ball Justin Fields gave us a scare as he headed into the locker room towards the middle of the fourth quarter there's they come up short though sadly Fields finished with 152 yards passing with two touchdowns and 15 carries for 95 yards so he does seem like a cheat code loving everything we're seeing out of Fields this year for me is the top 10 quarterback going into next year David Montgomery great day 91 scrimmage yards two touchdowns Montgomery puts together a nice run of games in the last four weeks averaging a touchdown of 98 scrimmage yards per game do back them from the IR next week are you concerned with David Montgomery sustaining this type of usage or do you think the Bears ride him until the wheels fall off since he will be a free agent heading into next year I think the Bears continue to ride him we've seen it out time and time again I don't know if this is the point Simon was about to make Khalil Herbert coming back they just don't view him that way and that's fine you might see some more Khalil Herbert getting thrown into the mix here but it's still David Montgomery's back field Khalil Herbert like stood in relief for David Montgomery whenever David Montgomery was out injured everybody thought okay this is the passing of the torch because Khalil Herbert looks incredible at very worst or at very best it will be a split a 1A1B scenario in jail like you said David Montgomery came back from injury immediately was the lead back again the workhorse back for this team I'm not too worried especially now that it's flipped and Herbert's the one coming back from injury and Montgomery's looked good so I expect him to keep being the main back here I'm hoping because I really like Khalil Herbert for next year and I don't want to see him get re-injured when they could just shut him down for the season the Bears aren't really playing for anything the one bad thing about the Bears though they are lacking a true wide receiver one right now on their team today Cole Comet led the team in targets with five and Byron Pringle led the team in yardage with 39 yards on two receptions of course so there's not much receiving options here for the Bears but Justin Fields somehow still gets it done do you think if they get a receiver here you asked about Jaylen Hertz if he was the number one quarterback would you would you be shocked to have someone rank Justin Fields as their number one quarterback and redraft going into next year he's one of the only quarterbacks that can rush for 90 plus yards in a game and it's not shocking this dude is special when he's running the ball if I believe to that let's say that I just believe Justin Fields is the best quarterback in the league and let's say they go out and they get like Jay Moore we talked about that this morning that that's the kind of caliber wide receiver you'd want to see them get I would trade my 101 out to get like the 103 and take fields because I don't think Justin Fields has done enough to prove that he is the de facto 101 because Josh Allen and Jaylen Hertz they still have that performance on the field that we've seen a better resume basically we've we've seen it we can believe it a lot easier than what we've seen from fields but listen I believe it from Fields I'd be happy to have either Hertz or Fields captaining my team next year for sure. The reason that I moved Hertz up to that 101 spot is because not only has he performed really well this past season but we've seen it also before in a previous season so this is now two seasons that we've seen Jaylen Hertz start to really perform for fantasy purposes and then on top of that I think his situation is only going to get better because that Eagle team is so like they have so much leverage they have so much leverage just keep building on the team a good offense around Jaylen Hertz and I feel like Justin Fields it's still going to take time they don't have a ton of leverage that Chicago Bears team and so they have to build up to that so I think there's there's more evidence really behind Jaylen Hertz than someone putting them putting Justin Fields in there but I don't I also don't think they're crazy if they do that I think it is close enough that it's within the realm of possibility that's the that's the point I was making there is that Justin Fields I'm not putting him at one but I think he's in tier one I think he is a tier one quarterback for me going into next year up there with Josh Allen Patrick Mahomes Jaylen Hertz here's a question Lamar Jackson or Justin Fields next season Justin Fields is out performing him on a point per game basis this year where would you be rolling next year I think the answer is going to be Lamar but I think it's a question which one of these guys would you prefer still Lamar for me that it's of course remains to be seen what his situation turns into I think I'm going Fields I maybe I'm in love maybe I'm a little was a drunken love but just he looks so great and I we've seen it from Lamar in the past too but man we'll see that's around where that line is for me I don't know which one I prefer next year but it's crazy that we're even having this conversation has to have moved into that tears with you to is up there to is up there as well look at these handsome gentlemen what's up Jay welcome and first of all so sorry man what a rough way to experience history yesterday 31 other fan bases had a great time I'm so sorry but he said Daniel Jones or Aaron Rodgers need fifteen for the win so let's help get that win to make up for that loss yesterday I'm rolling Daniel Jones out there he ran all over Washington last time they played and I just feel a little bit more comfortable with that floor from him what about you Joey I have Aaron Rodgers ranked higher I feel like Aaron Rodgers is a lot safer to get 15 points for you you know two touchdowns and pretty much Rodgers is there and six point per passing touchdown leagues with the yardage thrown in I would go Aaron Rodgers but I don't have a problem with either of these guys I think you'll get 15 points out of either of them with no Aaron Rodgers as well with no Aaron Donald I think that Ram's defense is hobbling a bit and Aaron Rodgers is much more talented than Daniel Jones in my opinion we got Albert in here saying Raiders Patriots going to overtime potentially tied up right now 30 seconds left I know New England has the ball also the Bengals scored again Joey no also we got David in saying football re stole my heart today with the incredibly fun games yeah I think it I think it stole Joey's heart and gave it to you is what happened with football today Dame and we stole my heart last night watching that Buffalo Bills Miami Dolphins game that was just the most delightful game to watch it was fun you enjoyed that one oh fun yes just snowing snowballs everywhere also something about that matchup is a lecture like the Bills and the Dolphins I feel like those fan bases they've had some rough teams right but historically I've had great teams but no disappointed fan bases over the last five years now they're both fantastic teams the Dolphins laying on the ice level my god it's just so much fun nice map Damian here said need to see Raven's player personnel moves before answering that Lamar versus Justin Fields I think both of these teams they're close enough where it's really going to matter what these two teams do in the off season for their quarterbacks down there let's move on to our next game here though the Detroit Lions in the New York Jets facing off today yes Zach Wilson makes his revenge game return not a revenge game what we call it when your own team benches you and you get to play again start yeah start Zach Wilson Vegas had this total set at 44 hit the under and the Detroit Lions of course covered because they were underdogs coming into this match by two points and they covered that they cover all right they won this game 20 to 17 Zach Wilson in his return did not do out of game 18 Fletians 35 attempts 317 yards to touchdowns he did throw an interception 23.38 fantasy points if you had the balls to start Zach Wilson then props to you props to you this week I didn't I did not either on the receiving side I'm sorry on the rushing side we had the the Zahnnenight was the main carrier in this back field but didn't really do much with the 13 carries for 23 yards easily 1.8 per carry at 2.3 fantasy points but no one really did well in this back field for the Jets Joey what did you see from Zahnnenight this week not much Bob yeah I Zahnnenight was somebody I was really excited for the last two weeks he's looked really well he said the Jets have gained some confidence in him and you know this Detroit Lions run defense is really good it's a little deceiving though because their past defense is so bad but if you go look back the last four or five weeks they're not getting how much rushing work so while I'm sad to see this I wasn't shocked I did think Knight was going to have a much better game but Michael Carter started getting receiving downs work which we didn't see as much the last few weeks so I'm nervous to start him going forth the rest of season he was someone I was really excited about but yeah I think a lot of us got to this confident point with him where it's like oh yeah he totally starts out on the night get those RB2 numbers Simon how you feel about Zahnnenight are you starting them going into next week you guys finally convinced me I was the naysayer I was the poo-pooer on Zahnnenight I was like I don't believe it Michael Carter is coming back they like Michael Carter I bought into it this week and you know what this game doesn't change my mindset on him too much I think he's still startable you can expect RB2, RB3 type numbers but if you were hoping he was a league winner type player I don't think you're getting league winning numbers from Zahnnenight something Joey brought up here though I think it's a great point that I wanted to bring up whenever you're looking at just team rankings versus opposition or team rushing yards like the Lions earlier in the year were like bottom five and giving up rushing yards so they looked like a plus matchup for running backs you always got to look one level deeper look at the next level because they were getting torn up by rushing quarterbacks but even at the beginning of the year whenever they looked like a bottom five rushing defense the running backs were still getting stuffed they weren't giving up a lot of big games to these opposing running backs so those numbers can be deceiving whenever you're looking at them right there guys I have to interrupt I was just about to say I don't even know the Patriots just lost the Raiders got a touchdown because the Patriots did a like backwards ladder like a toss back and the Raiders just took it and took it to the end zone in regulation to avoid overtime yep yeah oh my god wild I don't know who Jones is and Max Jones just got stiff armed into the ground just straight into the ground that is the amazing revenge game narrative for Chandler Jones former Patriots player just returned a touchdown to beat them wow that sounds so not Bella check to do something cute like that at the end of a game where you're going to go to overtime doesn't it like a lateral move at the end of the game that Bella check I feel like is the kind of like let's just take it over time see if we can beat them there that's wild yeah that is insane wild and we got scampers in here says shame game shame game what's up scampers welcome oh my meowers a little broken a little bit scratchy there on the receiving side of this game guys I'll get back to this Gary Wilson had a pretty decent game nine targets four receptions 98 yards no touchdowns Elijah Moore not also not bad seven targets four receptions 51 yards Gary Wilson is probably still a just a must start every week weekend week out he's been so consistent over the last four to six weeks it's been insane CJ Osama got two touchdowns on two receptions and two targets you're not doing anything with CJ Osama right on two targets two receptions you guys not starting them next week no I think I think Tyler Conklin managers are pretty upset right now because those were Tyler Conklin those are Tyler Conklin touchdowns yeah I have a I have like a soft spot in my heart for CJ Osama he when all of my tight ends got injured he delivered me my first dynasty championship like it was because of him so whenever I see him do well like this I immediately I'm like oh we're back baby and it's fantasy playoffs time like we're heading into the last couple weeks but my heart says yes but my brain says no we're leaving CJ Osama on the bench you can't trust them cannot trust him on the on the the lion side of this ball Jared Goff had a had a pretty decent game Amon Ross St. Brown finished the finished the week with 15.2 fantasy points 10 targets seven receptions 76 yards pretty decent game for Amon Ross St. Brown and what you know we were worried about him essentially facing sauce Gardner in this game and he did fine perfectly fine Deandre Swift was the running back to play this week if you played Detroit Lions roulette running back roulette he had nine targets five receptions which definitely helped boost his numbers we also had eight carries 52 yards 12.5 fantasy points Jamal Williams was pretty disappointed he got 13 carries but only 33 yards and three fantasy points Simon Jamal Williams who's been pretty decent throughout the season are you confident starting him the next two weeks especially during fantasy playoffs time even though even if he's getting the majority of the carries here does this dissuade you at all dissuade me at all not particularly especially with the upcoming matchups being the Panthers and the Bears over the next two weeks they're they're very beatable defenses especially at the running back position he's got his touchdown but he's a touchdown monster and I don't expect that role to change for him so next week hopefully he falls into the end zone once or twice and you're you're pretty happy with that but man disappointing it sucks after he probably helped you get to this point if he's on your team hopefully he's not the reason you're going home here in the playoffs right we're at you Joey yeah the other matchups coming up next the next two weeks I like for a lot especially that Bears match up in week 17 it's going to be one and lost in that one game right there we also got the Bills and the Bengals that night I believe yeah but I'm fine with small waves we just need to monitor same brown to fall down at the one yard line so you can get some of those touchdown runs Simon was talking about and I don't even think this is like a two-headed monster in a negative way I think they can both feed we've seen it happen earlier in the season we're Swift and Williams were both getting work and they both got good solid fantasy production so I think we can definitely see that going forth it's a positive two-headed monster yeah it's the best kind of two-headed monster it's like sully like to a two-headed sully like you just like want to hug it like you're excited to see it from monsters ink is that what we're talking here oh man nice solid reference if I saw like I feel like most people in costumes I can avoid getting excited about like you see like a Mickey mouse or a Hercules or a Spider-Man a sully costume gets me every time I will run to see them I will send you a picture of when my daughter met and we met sully at Hollywood Studios and sully went down to hug her and looks like he's about to eat her head and she's so excited he's like ahhh but he is like the most lovable, huggable character at Disney you're just going to completely ignore Jeff Smith yeah when I ignored you yes Jeff Smith the third I believe whenever they said this name I was like excuse me that sounds like a fake made up name sounds like the husband of the mom that Zach Wilson is hanging out with so he threw him some passes to make up for what he had been doing Jeff Smith but he did a little bit today guys we're going to move on to our next game here the Panthers Steelers game the Panthers tried to mount a late comeback in this one but couldn't quite pull it off Steelers coming away with the victory in this one 24 to 16 Kenny Pickett out with his concussion Mitch Trubisky filling in for him went 17 for 22 179 yards didn't throw a touchdown or an interception but looked pretty milky out there milky Trubisky it was just totally fine do you think Mitchell Trubisky has any hope of holding on to this job or is he just a milky fill in while Kenny Pickett is injured he's a disgusting milky substitute I think Kenny Pickett is their future is what they're looking towards not really a competition here they knew what Mitch Trubisky was and that's what we got this game this is peak milky Trubisky he's a milky boy he's a milky boy Najee Harris was the focal point of this offense this week 24 carries 86 yards and a touchdown good for 14.6 ppr fantasy point Joey with their matchups coming up against the Raiders and the Ravens Najee has been disappointing so far this season but we're in the fantasy playoffs and you've just got 24 carries are you trusting Najee Harris as a starter in these last two weeks of the fantasy season I am next week in the Raiders when we come into that game against Baltimore I'm pretty nervous but going next week against the Raiders we saw Ramon Dre did today and he wasn't apparently even fully healthy so I'm excited for Najee next week for sure John Luke you on the Najee train as well with Joey here are you a little more hesitant I've been on this Najee chain Najee chain there we go what was the ones we had this we had a whole bunch going Zay Zones Zay Zones Isaiah Pizzaco and Zay Zones yeah no Najee Harris he's getting the carries that is the beauty of Najee Harris and he's looking a little bit better out there still running behind that poor offensive line but yeah next two matchups I'm very positive for him I think you can plug him in he's never been an efficient runner but he's back to getting the volume that makes him a great fantasy running back he does have Baltimore week 17 and last time I played against Baltimore he wasn't very efficient he had 12 attempts 33 yards one touchdown but not very efficient with his carries there no Chris in here saying who day what up Chris and now we're in here with a fryer move with a big goose egg yeah Pad F who has been killing it as of recently you thought he was in that top tier maybe you could trust him week in week out lays a goose egg for you Joey do you think this is due to Mitchell Trubisky being the starter maybe he doesn't have the chemistry with him that pick it does I think it's a bad game I think that Trubisky the way he succeeds I mentioned it this morning was with his tight ends the best season he had was the year that he leaned on Trey Burton so I'm just kind of wondering what Trubisky Phyllons trying to do out here because it's he did win the game today so maybe I should be quiet and not criticize him anymore but I don't understand what's going on in the primaries against Carolina yeah against Carolina what did you say no I'm just saying it won but it was against Carolina I feel like Carolina hasn't been hot recently you mean the contending team the NFC self after the button there's lost another game today who did I was talking to a Falcons fan this weekend I was like man rough season he's like you know we're only one game back right it's like oh my god like you can still just sneak into the playoffs like they started Desmond Ritter they gave up on Marriota but they could still find their way in back toward their way into that wild card round I'm just expecting the Saints to get it but at this point Andy Dalton the playoff superstar not a playoff game right on the receiving side for Pittsburgh Deontay Johnson 10 targets 10 receptions 98 receiving yards he was the dude to play this week but my question for you is with 10 targets this week is he the wide receiver to start going forward in these playoffs if you're picking one player and just pick it coming back change that like if pick it's back in there do you prefer pick ins over Johnson or is it still the DJ show 10 targets to pick ins 5 Deontay Johnson has leading this team of targets I pull up his numbers here target share numbers but it's definitely him as the one and then pick ins as the two there's been a bunch of times this year that I've said okay now we're seeing it the shift is it's George pick ins that pick it and pick ins connection it's great but the problem is is Deontay Johnson keeps popping up so I would just lean on Deontay Johnson because we've seen it more from him in the past and I can't get a good read on it pick ins is going to run away with this job and maybe he's just not going to on the season Deontay Johnson's target share is 27% compared to George pick ins 14.9% and then you just take the last three games to account I'm just going to tell you the most recent trend Deontay Johnson is 37.2% of this target share while George pick ins is 11.5% so it is not close and it's not going in the right direction shout out Deontay Johnson I'm with you guys he's the one to start George pick ins is exciting I get it but he's another one of these rookies where I'm very curious to see where him and Deontay Johnson get drafted next year Deontay Johnson likely should be drafted first but with the way people get excited especially about the second year wide receivers I wouldn't be shocked to see them in like that back to back range kind of likely see Tyler Lockett DK Metcalf Chris Goddow and Mike Evans maybe even pick ins getting that hype being drafted ahead of him going into next season would not shock me at all on the other side of the ball Sam Darnit coming in 14 for 23 225 yards one touchdown through the air it's Sam Darnold you're not starting them up maybe in a super flex league you're throwing them in as your QB2 but not much going on there at the quarterback position and then these running backs who look like we could maybe start trusting them right Deontay Forman killed it for a couple weeks and then Chuba Hubbard came forward and had some great weeks for fantasy as well and then this week we get Chuba Hubbard with four carries for 10 yards Deontay Forman with 10 carries for nine yards Joey what are we doing with these panthers running back can you start either one of them going forward man I'm I'm extremely frustrated because Deontay Forman was someone I was really excited about at home when they're competing Deontay Forman has been showing up 100 yards and I was at the last three home games Deontay Forman's had 100 yards scrimmage yards and so today this 10 carries for nine yards 10 for nine 10 for nine less yards than carries yeah he is in a way he doesn't have negative yards per year one of his carries was for five yards so he had one carry for five yards and then nine carries for four yards I don't know what's going on with him just extremely disappointed in him today expected so much more out of him yeah man you guys were going hard on Deontay Forman this morning yep it was like my one big whiff of the week I had a few whiffs but not as bad as that one I had him like running back like 26 I have to look but enough to why I was telling people to start him I haven't checked since we got on here but if Mike Williams doesn't start doing something soon then that is a mega whiff for me this week just whiff beyond all whiffs I was so hyped on him I was plugging him in everywhere I was sweating there for a while because a colleague of mine asked me to start T Higgins or Jarek McKinnon this week and I was like oh I'm gonna lean T Higgins but Jarek McKinnon could be good if you're worried about T Higgins stuff like lean Jarek and then I just watched as Jarek McKinnon got to the point after score after score I was like oh no I gave him bad advice I think you got saved though because T Higgins had a good day T Higgins ended up having a good game but it was looking scary there for a minute yeah that's the thing with wide receivers with running backs I feel like you don't often get that like just last three minutes fantasy push where everything is saved right but with a wide receiver it can just happen like don't get me wrong Josh Jacobs with that 76 yard touchdown around the other day that's a way of running back into it but you see it with wide receivers way more often where nothing nothing nothing and then at the very end when you get two points you're happy you're good to go now the receivers here in Carolina you're not getting that from them very often but you had a decent game from DJ Moore six targets five reception 73 yards is DJ Moore the only startable Carolina Panthers fantasy player JL no I think Deont to form it into Robert is startable you think they're startable Joey what about you but this was not pretty this week between these two backs yeah I dropped DJ Moore for Elijah Moore when Mike White was still starting because I we've seen what was happening with Elijah Moore with Mike White the previous two weeks and I don't know when to start DJ Moore like this was the matchup to start him because Pittsburgh's past defense is so bad but we've seen bad past defenses and DJ Moore just put up almost a couple goose eggs and then just not good fantasy production I don't know when to start him so I put him on the waiver wire I did and I'll tell you what someone's going to go pick him up next week and he'll probably crap the bed next week but Detroit against oh god they're playing Detroit you know what he probably will because that's when you'll expect him to show up and he won't but it's a Sam Donald problem it's not a GM or problem Joe or Joey I love that you did that though because that is I never have the balls to do it but it's one of my favorite strategies that people do in the playoffs the waiver wire bombs the name that shouldn't be on the waiver wire but you don't like starting them like the player that you think has a bad schedule like the top 24 the top 30 guy that you drop as a bomb out there on the waiver wire for someone else to step on right for someone else to plug into their lineup and DJ Moore I don't blame you for throwing them out there for someone else to throw into their line just for reference if I was started DJ more instead of his on of a night I would have won my matchup and been headed to the next round of the playoffs now I have to wait and see if Alan Lazard is going to help me get 13.03 fantasy points I don't know by the way Simon our matchup is officially concluded who went I win no in where yet and where yet our dynasty our very first dynasty league to move on to the championship round I was going for back-to-back titles this year I was trying to be the first back-to-back champion I was the first I'm the first two-time champion in that league but not the first back-to-back champion jail take it home now since you took me down when no one who are you facing in the finals Tim I don't know yet we'll see maybe Pat Pat oh man it's Pat or somebody else I already took Tim out I'm cheering for Pat if you're a pattern guys we're going to move on to our next game here the Atlanta Falcons New Orleans Saints game the New Orleans Saints coming out on top in this one and Desmond Ritters first start 21 to 18 everyone's favorite quarterback combo Andy Dalton and taste of Hill led the Saints to a 21 to 18 victory over the Atlanta Falcons today together in Dalton hill Dalton and Hill combined for 231 passing yards and three touchdowns although neither of them had a singular stat line or usage which would prove you could start them in the near future I guess if taste of Hill has the tight eligibility in Yahoo leagues you can start them there but I think we've all played that hot potato game and have kind of fallen short with it so if you want to take the risk and start tasting hill in a tight end spot you can but I don't think either these two guys are startable do you guys feel that way I feel exact same way he's no Jeff Driscoll I don't think I was going on a limb there but Alvin Kamera continued his good run at home this season as he's now gone over 85 scrimmage yards in five of his last six games at home Kamera finished today with 23 total touches and 104 total yards and this was Kamera's last home game of the season the next two games he'll be on the road at Cleveland and Philadelphia on a scale of 1 to 10 what is your comfort level starting Kamera heading into your semi-final in championship weeks Simon you go first screw you Kamera I love you you are one of my favorite players in the NFL you're so cool but I finally give up on you this season I finally said this Saints team is bad they're not featuring you the way that they should I don't know if it's an adult problem if it's a new coaching staff problem and then here we go the last couple weeks like you mentioned Joey he's been not only startable but he's been an asset for your fantasy teams roll them out there they're competing they could win this division with this win and with the Bucks a lot and it's gonna be Alvin Kamera that does it for him he's the best player on this team so I'm plugging him in that's their path to the playoffs it's through Alvin Kamera and so I'm gonna plug him into my lineups with pretty high confidence I'm back in baby partially I feel partially the same way I do think they're gonna ride Alvin Kamera to to try and get a playoff spot here but their next two matchups here they got Cleveland which is a great matchup so I'm rolling them out there next week and they got Philadelphia which is a less good matchup in Philadelphia I'm still probably rolling him out there because if you drafted Alvin Kamera you probably need to start him but I'm gonna be a little hesitant at least 17 for sure Philly's not as bad of a matchup against the running back but they're good defense they're good overall defense if you could be Philadelphia one way that's a good system some teams have tried and they've succeeded with that shout out commanders there you go John Johnson standout receiving option in this game four receptions 67 yards and two touchdowns and he's actually available in roughly 63% of fantasy leagues when I went and checked today so he might be a great waiver add if you're streaming tight end and I know everyone it's a great call this morning Joey you had propped him up this morning for sure he's gotten a lot of he's got a bunch of touchdowns then you have what five straight games of the touchdown earlier in the season and then he got injured and people kind of forgot about him so if you used your IR spot on John Johnson congratulations I did not he had to send him right to the waiver wire so I was a victim of that Rashid Shahid has become the deep threat for the Saints finishing with three receptions from 95 yards and a touchdown which included his highlight reel 68 yard touchdown and Chris Olavi a decent day and PPR three receptions 53 yards what happened hoping for more he was like the dude was a target machine earlier in the season like a player that was a borderline must start with the volume that he was getting and then we're just not seeing it anymore no and this is a this was a matchup that Steven Johnson was on this morning and Jail agreed with us so we were all really excited for Olavi this week and you know three for 53 is not going to kill your team but it's you know probably won't need any championships hopefully you can come through a little better against the Browns and Eagles on the falcon side of the ball it doesn't matter made his NFL debut and finished with 97 passing yards and 28 rushing yards no touchdowns no interceptions that was kind of nice almost having an interception though they were like pretty close to getting to picking them off at one point yeah I didn't you know I didn't see if he did or not he didn't have one though right yeah it's not not in the box score so I think they called it back oh okay so it was it was a penalty okay that was disappointing um 70 of his receiving yards of his passing yards went to rookie Drake London London's had double-digit targets and back to back weeks now in the first three weeks of the season London looked like the standout rookie of the 2022 NFL draft 214 receiving yards and two touchdowns do you think London's getting back on track or is this just a case of two good games Jail what do you think both I think both can be true yeah his next two match he's got Baltimore next to Arizona I think he's a very talented wide receiver what we haven't seen from them is is that their willingness to pass just haven't been passing to their to their star players their cow pits their Drake London Ocampus before he went out I think we're starting to see them maybe realize some of that and then them switching to Desmond Ritter they have to rely on the pass them so I think it is trending in the right direction for Drake London it's sad that I see 26 pass attempts and I'm like they're throwing the ball a little bit more now like that was my first thought when I saw 26 pass attempts in this game I was like okay maybe there's some hope for these receiving options but Jail I'm right there with you my love for Drake London's talent has been on anywhere since the season started he was my number one rookie wide receiver pre draft post draft and I still think he's not in the conversation when we talk most talented rookie wide receivers it's just on a horrible offense so even though his talent isn't changing I'm not sure this is indicative of anything that we can rely on because it's still the Falcons horrible offense there's going to be bad games for London because there's going to be bad games for this Falcons offense you know agreed Falcons run game split pretty evenly if you look at carries Tyler Algier turned 17 carries into 139 yards in a touchdown in quarter L Patterson 14 carries into 52 yards in a touchdown this is Tyler Algiers first 100 yard rushing game of his career football platform because he's watching so that's nice looking ahead the Falcons play at Baltimore and at home against the Cardinals in the next two weeks I wouldn't trust him in the Baltimore matchup as they are top you know five against fantasy running backs but against Arizona in your fantasy championship Algier might be a really nice flex play you guys agree yeah that's um that's a fun player to beat your opponent with in the fantasy championships Tyler Algier that's one of those ones where you just you look cool right like you grabbed him off the wave wire and he's a pivotal piece of winning you a title I love plays like that but you're right Joey he's going to get this volume on this rush first offense and a plus matchup you can plug him in yeah yeah I'm with you guys Nathan in here coming in saying just lost in fantasy by 0.6 because the Raiders defense on that very last play fantasy you fickle something whatever pray for a stack correction pray for a stack correction it's not over yet Nathan it's probably over but it's not over have you guys ever had the stack correction win or stack correction lost where like it came in and took it from I got a stack correction tie earlier this season I remember that where a stack it was with Pat wasn't it where you guys caused the tie that's bizarre that's even crazier I haven't still to this day I think this is my first tie in fantasy football down to the hundreds place right it was a decimal scoring tie with a stack correction Joe you've had one you've got a stack correction steal a victory to give you one lost a playoff game on a stack correction like my third year playing fantasy that laptop didn't survive that night you and Tom Brady it was a surface I needed a new one anyways and it was like it's just unbelievable that is fun like when you have something you're like I literally can't sell this and I'm usually not allowed to break it but I'm getting a new one so I'm going to break it yeah feels good right there Nathan I'm sorry man fantasy sucks and it's my favorite thing in the world there's nothing I love more than fantasy and there's nothing that makes me more mad than fantasy football because we're going to move on to our next game here and this was a game that I did not see going this way the Kansas City chiefs and the Houston Texans facing off going to overtime but the chiefs pulling out the W with the jen jerry McKinnon touchdown Joe you mentioned him earlier yeah jerry McKinnon had a day yeah no one I don't think anyone would have foreseen this game going this way the teams in a row giving really high-end teams a run for their money but the the chiefs did pull out a victory here 30 to 24 man I think jerry McKinnon is probably the first one we got to talk about because if you started him congrats big day for jerry McKinnon 10 carries 52 yards and a touchdown on top of eight targets eight receptions 70 yards and a receiving touchdown he had 34.2 fantasy points this week my goodness that's two weeks in a row he's been fantastic they are I think they're realizing that jerry McKinnon has actually a pretty talented player here jaco did have more carries at 15 carries 86 yards no touchdowns in this game what are you guys thinking about the the usage of this running backs in the Kansas City offense I the problem is it's predictable if you can predict the game script if you can predict the game script it's very predictable who's going to get the work so this week when the 10 and 3 Kansas City chiefs were going up against the 111 Houston Texan to have been abysmal against running backs on the ground it seemed like a slam dunk they're just going to run it down their throat with their first and second down back Isaiah Pacheco and you can roll them out there they're not going to need to rely on the receiving game as much they're not going to need to rely on their third down back then all of a sudden this is a game this is a close game and that's where jerry McKinnon comes in and gets that receiving down to work it's heavily involved in the passing game and if you thought this game was going to be close then it's a great jerry McKinnon start but I didn't see it coming I might not expect the game to go this way no I said this morning that like I think both of them are startable but Pacheco was the one I wanted to start so I agree with you Simon you know didn't see this come from jerry McKinnon but good news for all the McKinnon managers out there there might be a rinse repeat next week because they got Seattle and they're the second worst team against running backs or houston was the worst team against running backs so we might see another just another format just like this next week dude it feels like it feels like this is the trap this is the trap though it's part of the third week in a row and you're like now he's got to do it and then now they zag and see McKinnon really feels like the back to play next week because Seattle can't put points up or houston so we don't expect them to put points up man is that the trap I benched McKinnon this week for Greg Dulcich in a tight end premium league in my flex spot and that couldn't have gone much worse it hurts pretty bad so now I'm trying not to let it cloud my judgment for next week you know what I mean because I do think in a tight end premium league those players are debatable which one you should start in that flex spot week in week out but I'm gonna have to go in with clear eyes and I'll let this game cloud my judgment because that was a hot game from Jericho McKinnon that was Tim said finally McKinnon is hitting every time throughout McKinnon's entire career Tim has tried to call it he's been in on McKinnon for years now like for years when nobody was in on McKinnon Tim's like no McKinnon's the dude I know it just wait just wait and Albert's saying but Jacob was in the dog ass for a bit after he fumbled bumble but he's still got the majority of the carries here so I can understand going Pacheco over McKinnon in a lot of leagues moving on to the receivers in this game predictably Travis Kelsey led the chiefs in receiving here 10 targets 10 receptions for 105 yards 23.5 fantasy points he had a good game he had a good game I don't know if you guys saw when he drew an unnecessary roughness flag do you guys see that when he got in the fight I just was watching that like yo what are you doing Travis Kelsey what are you guys not even touching you're just mad coming up and trying to fight him I feel like that was a turning point for that offense though because they were having trouble clicking and then Kelsey went like all alpha man and the team seemed to light a fire under their butts under their butts we gotta start winning so Kelsey doesn't get ejected from this game this is what they thought right there like we better score Kelsey's gonna get kicked out of this game sometimes you need someone to get out there and show their butts to show their butts just to get it going that's why I always show my butt just in case just in case yep so she at the airport especially at the airport Juju's Mruster was the main wide receiver on the team which is good again what we'd hope here 10 receptions 10 targets 88 yards 17.8 fantasy points Marcus about the scantling did not have a bad day three receptions five targets 26 yards and a touchdown given 11.6 fantasy points are you confident starting both of these guys week in week out and the following the next two weeks for most people the last two weeks for most people's fantasy leagues what do you guys think I feel better with Juju which I think is understandable to say if I have to start in BS I will I think what you got out of them today is is a good game you should be happy to get this out of them I don't think he can give you much better than that yeah the problem is they've got really tough matchups against wide receivers the next two weeks with the Seahawks and the Broncos it's not about schedule for their running backs Broncos a tough defense all around but the Broncos are giving up the fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers Seahawks giving up the fifth fewest fantasy points to opposing wide receivers I'm trusting Juju out of the two I think you can start Juju he's the top receiver on this team I'm going to be a little hesitant with MVS as the secondary receiving option a really tertiary receiving option with Travis Kelsey and Juju Smith-Easter both ahead of them going into these tough matchups in the fantasy playoffs your championship week I can't do it I can't roll them out there against the Broncos or the Seahawks yeah now I'm with you it's kind of more I don't even think I have to target this game but he's there Kaderi Stoney coming back there's a bunch of options there Jeff Smith there's Jeff Smith his dad I think Jeff Smith's allowed to just play on any team any week I think they just let him yeah he can just show up and step out on the field all time quarterback speaking of Jeff's Jeff Driscoll played in this game he did that's probably all you have to talk about and play much Davis Mills was the main quarterback on the Houston Texans here for him for fantasy 20.34 points fantastic he had 12 completions 24 attempts 121 yards and 2 touchdowns in this game including a rushing touchdown which of course yeah that helps 5 carries 25 yards Davis Mills the rushing quarterback outside of Davis Mills on the running side of the Texans here Royce Freeman Simon's man your man I was so in on Royce 11 carries 51 yards he didn't get drafted right was he undrafted Bill that's what I'm thinking of Royce Freeman was the next Alvin Camara who I've completely bit on damn it who was the Rex Burkhead didn't get any carries in this game he came up a bit in some of the questions this morning Daria Gumbel Gumbelwale was the backup running back but neither him nor Royce Freeman did much in this game Davis Mills was the kind of just stole any sort of relevance here Daria was so close to being a hero at the end of the game was just inches away and I don't know if you watch the replay I think Daria Gumbelwale might have had possession of that fumble and was downed before it was ripped away I know a cheese player ended with the ball but I think you watch that I think there's a very real argument that the Texans recovered that and he was downed with the ball he was almost the hero was so close Daria story of Daria's life almost the hero Gumbelwale this Texan team has a wonderful running back he just was not available to play today so that's true, Damian Pierce, RIP Jordan Akins, Akins or Akins I can never know I think it's Akins Jordan Akins, he had a pretty decent game 3 reception, 6 targets and a touchdown 11.2 fantasy points Chris Moore, as far as wide receivers go he was the highest scoring wide receiver but didn't mean much 4 receptions, 9 targets, 42 yards 8.2 fantasy points Joey, I know you were big on Chris Moore are you disappointed with his performance? No, I mean the thing is you can't expect much out of him but he's given you 9 targets today yeah, it's 8.2 fantasy points but if you're starting Chris Moore, he's probably a second flex play or maybe a third wide receiver and I don't think that's extremely disappointing I would roll him who do they have next week? Who do the Texans have next week? Let's take a look They're playing the Titans next week when the Jaguars are next week I'll play them against Jaguars for sure the Titans, nobody passes on the Titans with any consistency but Chris Moore 4 for 42, I don't mind that Yeah, I'm with Joey he's not an exciting play but with Brandon Cooks and Nico Collins not playing he's THE play in the receiving game here for the Houston Texans so you can plug him in maybe he gets a touchdown and then you're happy he doesn't get a touchdown, you're fine with your 8-12 fantasy points and you just call it a day Once either Nico or Brandon Cooks steps on the field my hands are kind of coming off Chris Moore I was just warning, I'm not allowed to touch the players Not anymore What did that change? It's a long story Did you get a letter? Not only did I get a letter but every time I get in line to get an autograph now there's a little sign that goes up says Joey There's two lines there's like the line on the floor where most people are allowed to stand to get their autograph and then there's a second line four feet further back All joking aside and real quick the first time I met Ric Flair he had a sign in front of him that said I will not woo, I'm not making that up he did it at the end for everybody but like everybody wants him to go woo the sign says I will not woo the first time I met Ric Flair That's awesome Whenever I saw offspring in concert the whole time I was just sitting there waiting for them to play pretty fly for a white guy right and then during the middle of their set they said we are not playing pretty fly for a white guy because we effing hate that song and then they just kept going on with the rest of their set they just they hate that song like they wrote it it wasn't a song they liked and then it's their biggest song of all time I think it's funny when when they do things like that guys let's move on to our next game here and what a game this was the Jacksonville Jaguars beating the Dallas Cowboys 40 to 34 in overtime and there's a lot to talk about on both sides of the ball here so let's start with Trevor Lawrence 27 for 42 318 yards 4 touchdowns he had an interception as well but guys I think we are in the middle of witnessing the Trevor Lawrence full breakout what we expected him to be and if you think back to like how some of these young quarterbacks have progressed Josh Allen this is a round win like the middle of his second year his breakout started happening he started seeing those flashes Trevor Lawrence his first entire season was under Urban Meyer they finally got him some receiving leptions this year and Zay Jones, Evan Ingram Christian Kirk and he's going to have Calvin Ridley coming back next year Trevor Lawrence is sneaking into those like top 8 top 9 fantasy quarterbacks he's going up that far John Luke with the performances Trevor Lawrence has had since week 10 it seems like something in that London game turned it on he said I never want to feel that way again after that game and he's looked great since then what's your confidence level starting Trevor Lawrence in weeks 16 and 17 confidence level is wildly high he's got the jets which is the best match up and then he's got Houston Texans which is a fantastic match up the amount of times he's throwing though is wild the last two weeks he threw 42 times each of those two weeks and then 31 the week before 37 times the week before that since the buy he has been averaging high 30s fasting attempts each game which is exactly what you want out of your quarterback that's more opportunities from the score fantasy points each of those throws so my confidence is very high Joey going into next season where does Trevor Lawrence rank for you I'm still glad you asked this question we were talking about this this morning as it relates to Kyler Murray what players are you taking above Kyler Murray I'm taking Trevor Lawrence above Kyler Murray he's a top 10 quarterback for me next year we started seeing this shift in the middle of the season and it was kind of quiet and I was like man please just keep this going let's keep it under the radar but it's not the secrets out Trevor Lawrence is the real deal I'm not taking him above Jalen Hurts and Justin Fields but I mean confidently taking him after Mahomes before Russell Wilson so I said like top 10 quarterback so ahead of that next tier like the Kirk Cousins the Jared Goffs, the Jared Carrs the Aaron Rodgers you look at the names like Jalen Hurts, no but Josh Allen, Justin Herbert Patrick Mahomes, no burrow but he's right in that level and he's starting to duck Prescott like Dak Prescott or Trevor Lawrence that's around the range I'm talking about that stuff I think I rolled to you especially with Calvin Ridley coming back next year like Calvin Ridley coming on to this team he's been killing it with Z Jones, Christian Kirk Evan Ingram you had a true wide receiver one on this offense man I I'm very excited for Trevor Lawrence what about DeSean Watson Trevor Lawrence based on what we're seeing right now so I mean that's right behind Tua and Justin Fields so he'd be QB8 for me after the names I just ran through and sounds like would be for you as well I mean just he looks fantastic the game seems to be slowing down for him a little bit finally the game seems to be slowing down he's getting the ball out of his hands quicker he's making his reads a little bit quicker and this is something when you're looking at quarterbacks that come out of Clemson and some of these other schools especially like the powerhouse schools and like the Big 12 and the ACC a lot of these teams run offenses where it's just power man to man they just rely on their athletes being better than the athletes on the defensive side of the ball the likes of Mike Williams and Mari Rogers in the ACC going up against Boston College Wake Forest generally your receivers are better in T. Hageins Trevor Lawrence didn't have to read defenses in college it is a simple offense that Clemson runs and it's here's our superstar wide receivers get them the ball Trevor he didn't have to go through his reads like that so it took time to develop and we're seeing it now I'm excited to see him killing it Jail I know you were happy to see a big game from Travis ETN he's 103 yards it was your Christmas wish but he would be the number one running back on the stretch of the season over here a little bit involved in the receiving game as well three targets two receptions 24 yards is Travis ETN a top 10 back going into these last two weeks I don't think so he hasn't been top 10 since what week 9 week 10 timeframe yeah I don't think that he is a top 10 running back I think he's an RB 2 you think it's because this team has started throwing the ball more like you said they've been chucking the ball over the last couple weeks that's part of it he's dealing with some injury throughout that time which definitely contributed to this but yeah I think a lot of it has to do with just the way they're using him and he just hasn't broken off a lot of big plays from what we've seen I don't know exactly what the reason for that is but he's got the Jets next week and then Houston I'd be probably starting him into these games but yeah I mean I think we have to temper our expectations a bit which is disappointing just the touchdowns haven't been there really I think is one of the biggest things today I was going to say I think if you average his next two weeks after this one I think the Houston game he could have a massive game so I think he could average into a top 10 running back I was wrong on him this morning I was saying just temper your expectations with him Dallas Cowboys defense is rock solid and the Jaguars came out and they you know poked holes in it and ETN was one of their poking holes with his whole poker they did score points 40 of them in this game 74 points scored all around in this game the touchdowns were not going his way and I think that's because Zay Jones was hogging all of them three touchdowns eight targets six receptions 109 yards and shout out to both of you guys this morning you guys were high on Zay Jones going into this game and it worked out even against a tough Dallas secondary Zay Jones killing it yeah my friend Travis he's in the cast of Wicked sent me a message while I was on the show this morning saying should I still play Elijah Moore over Zay Jones and I said no put Zay Jones in Mike's white's not starting because earlier in the week I told him Elijah Moore over Zay Jones so I'm really glad that I made that switch mid show he texted me after the first touchdown hey man you're right on thanks so much and then it was a joy to be texting him to the next two touchdowns I was going to say then the second and third he was like oh my god thank you so much I sent him the link hopefully Travis was watching John Luke do you think this is I mean three touchdowns is not repeatable I say that we were saying now with Christian Watson for five weeks in a row that he couldn't keep doing it but three touchdowns is not expected I should say are you plugging Zay Jones confidently in your semi-finals and finals matchups yeah who do they have New York and Houston New York and Houston yeah absolutely I'm plugging him in Zay Jones on the season 21.8% target share that's right underneath Christian Kirk's 23.8% so it's really closer to a 1A1B type situation over the last three games Zay Jones overtook Christian Kirk 23.3% compared to Christian Kirk's 21.6% target share so I mean they're neck and neck it's splitting hairs but he's absolutely worth starting the next two weeks I wonder I was just going to say it's kind of wild this Jaguar's offense like we were just talking about the Panthers and it was like DJ Moore maybe Deonta Forman maybe and now this Jaguar's offense I think week in week out you can start Trevor Lawrence Travis ETN Christian Kirk Evan Ingram and I don't even mind like you can start Marvin Jones he has big games and if they're chucking the ball 40 times a game he can go into that flex spot this Jaguar's team is good for fantasy it's a good for fantasy team are they eliminated from playoff contention or can they still win the NFC south I think they can still win the south I don't think they're eliminated yet I think there's two teams currently fully eliminated right this week probably added a couple more but going into this week there weren't very many we have eliminated and the Titans did the Titans lose or they end up beating the Chargers I did not see the finals for that game yeah they're not Jaguars are not eliminated I don't 538 I can't tell if it's updated or not but still giving them 44 percent chance to make the playoffs yeah for the Jaguars mm-hmm damn that's a pretty high percent chance for the Jaguar team Chargers beat Tennessee today so man I have the Jaguars getting in it's my wife's favorite team on the other side of the ball here guys the big question all week and every week this season when they're playing is Tony Pollard or Ezekiel Elliott Tony Pollard or Ezekiel I know but we got to talk about it for a second Tony Pollard out carried and out targeted Ezekiel Elliott but Elliott got the touchdown and scored more fantasy points 15.1 PPR fantasy points compared to Pollard's 14.6 PPR fantasy points Joey do you have a preference between these two whenever you're starting one of them and do you think you can start both of them with any level of confidence I'm going to cheat because I think it's the only correct answer to this and standard I'll start Ezekiel Elliott and PPR I'll start Tony Pollard that's honestly how I feel about them because I feel it is we talked about a 1A1B situation with another backfield here recently but this really is a 1A1B for me Jerry Jones is never going to quit on Zeke he's just not going to do it eventually I honestly I don't know I don't know how many red pots he's going to have to jump into eventually he'll die so we'll see Jerry Jones or Zeke oh yeah I was wondering eventually we all will die hopefully everyone out there in Fandoland we are all sad in reality we are all mortal and insignificant and one day we all die and the band club coming in with Curtis Samuel Alamazard please thank you Joey I want to throw this one to you first because I know you need some Alamazard points but are you rolling Alamazard or would you rather have Curtis Samuel on your lineup I would rather roll with Alamazard he has Aaron Rodgers as his quarterback against the Rams team that looks like they just have given up they don't look the same and I think Aaron Rodgers wants to make a statement I think I'm rolling Alamazard here as well what about you John Luke yeah I'm with you guys in the Alamazard train I get 14 points out of Alamazard so let's go and I see Siobhan in here maybe this is the same exactly you're talking about Joey saying Alamazard doesn't score 14 points tomorrow night in my PPR league for some guy I might have to mail the fantasy football trophy in my possession to Italy are you in Italy Joey? spending big bucks at FedEx and now so this is my best friend in the entire world called into the morning show this morning I don't get 14 points our one of our best friend's dad lives in Italy and he's in the league and we'd have to mail it to him in Italy so Siobhan is cheering for you to avoid the shipping charges apparently he's won three times and never lets me forget it so wait so why does Siobhan need to mail it if you lose oh because he has it he won the last one I see I got you when he said am I spending big bucks at FedEx because he'd be shipping it to Italy but my immediate thought was why are you going to FedEx field does that have to do you to stop Curtis Samuel my thought was how many packing peanuts can you even buy like is it possible to spend big bucks at FedEx besides on shipping can you go into the FedEx store and just go wild on bubble mailers we are rolling in bubble mailers just drop a bag full of like 10k give me all you got you walk out with envelopes and you start throwing them on everyone in the parking lot like stacks of cash that's hilarious I would like 12 flat rate shipping boxes I would like to pay for all the flat rate shipping but I'm just going to stick them inside another box man I hate shipping things every time I go to ship something I get so confused do I put the tape on now do I put the tape on there do I have to pay for this before I put my things in it and then 80% of the time I put it in the wrong box have to pay for that as they just put it in a different box all together I believe when Siobhan beat me in the playoffs the very first year I flat rate shipped him a photo like I went to Walgreens printed out of me giving him the finger and I shipped it to him like same day delivery beautiful guys on the receiving side of the ball for Dallas Noah Brown out targeted CD-Lam 9th target 6th reception 49 yards and 2 touchdowns the CD-Lam got it done through the yardage 7 receptions off 7th target 126 yards we're all starting CD-Lam every single week so I don't even know if that I'm not starting to CD-Lam you're not starting CD-Lam Jam no it's only because I don't have there we go if you have Noah Brown Joey after this game he out targeted he was the most heavily targeted player on this team this week are you plugging Noah Brown in in your lineups no and here's why because yes he had 6 receptions for 49 yards and 2 touchdowns but there's one thing that this doesn't show and that's a very fumble and I'm wondering if Noah Brown gets a little bit of a punishment not punishments they don't actually punish players but yeah they kind of do and the Dallas kind of doesn't look his way a little bit because fumbling that costly of a ball at the end of a game you know that's not good no and coaches handle it differently right like some coaches see that and then they put the player right back in next play like give them the ball to show like look you can make up or in some coaches say well in the doghouse you're not getting targets for 2 weeks just throw them on the bench just leave them on the stadium find your own way home Jail how do you feel about Noah Brown do you think he's startable probably not I think Michael Gallup is still the wide receiver 2 there despite 2 weeks 2 decent target weeks from Noah Brown I still think Gallup is going to command the bigger target share I mean Gallup only 2 targets this week 1 reception for 2 yards Joey do you think Michael Gallup can be trusted in any sense or fantasy I'm not a very trustworthy person to begin with I'm not trusting him we can't trust you no not at all as soon as Nickelodeon calls I'm out the door guys just to let you know and I'm kidding I would never leave you guys no but Gallup I just don't see it would you say Nickelodeon calls I mean I try to broker I got Arnold and Doug I would like 1 evening with Patty Manez that's my term sir she's a cartoon not in my world another thing to add on to not trusting Noah Brown is the next 2 weeks they have Philadelphia and then Tennessee yikes both very good past events some of the best in the league right some of the worst teams to start your wide receivers against I'm with you guys I'm with you guys but this game I know we're talking about the individual players about the fantasy aspects but this game is why I love football this 40 to 34 Jaguars over a Super Bowl favorite like one of the favorites for the Super Bowl they went in overtime like this is fun this is just fun this game is is why I watch every game every week that's why I turn the TV on and don't look away because you don't want to miss things like this that was beautiful what a week what a week we still got a couple more we still got a couple more this is this is shaping up to be an exciting playoffs I feel like I feel like it's wide open for the taking right here and I'm excited to see how it shakes out yeah guys that's gonna be it for us this evening I want to think everybody who came in and hung out with us getting ready for this commanders giant Sunday night showdown any words of wisdom before we depart on this Sunday night don't boil your pasta folks and Joey never trust a fart and don't boil your farts guys that's gonna be it for us this Sunday night we will see everyone next week same time same place but until then enjoy your football good luck in your matchups and go get those W's see you another time bye bye everybody
